Warawa nixes sex selection motion

Who’s Who?

Frank Bucholtz Times Reporter

Roberts cautioned. The actual number could be higher, because the homeless, especially young ones, are usually reluctant to reach out. “They’re not used to asking for help,” Roberts said. “That’s one of the things you have to teach them.” A 2011 homeless count of all communities in the Lower Mainland found a total of 397 “unaccompanied youth under the age of 25.” It was the highest number of unaccompanied homeless youth ever found in the region, up 29 per cent from a previous homeless tally in 2008.

Langley MP Mark Warawa is withdrawing his controversial private member’s bill on sex selection, and replacing it with a bill to change the circumstances surrounding the sentencing of sex offenders. He made the announcement at a press conference in Ottawa on Wednesday. Warawa’s motion, M-408, called on the House of Commons to condemn Mark the practice of abortWarawa ing fetuses based on their gender. It was initially cleared to proceed, but then stopped by a Commons subcommittee, made up of three MPs. An appeal by Warawa to the full House committee was also rejected. The rejection of the motion focused far more attention on the subject and author of the motion. Numerous media reports used it to highlight the tight control Prime Minister Stephen Harper has over his caucus and the Conservative government’s intention not to allow anything related to abortion to be dealt with in the House of Commons. Warawa’s public profile increased dramatically, and he was the subject of numerous media reports from across the country.

Youth homelessness at ‘frightening’ level Mayors and council members of Langley Township and City to take late-night tour to learn more about issue Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

A late-night tour of both Langleys will give members of the Township and City councils a street-level view of the life young homeless people lead. Both Township Mayor Jack Froese and City Mayor Peter Fassbender were among those expected to attend the two-hour Friday walk that will start at 11

p.m. in the parking lot of the Township municipal facility. The event is being organized by Loren Roberts, the program coordinator for the Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services Youth Homelessness Initiative. The Friday night walk will include scavenger hunts to demonstrate just how few options young homeless people have, Roberts said. For one hunt, participants will

be told to look for as-yet undisclosed types of “youth-friendly” venues open after 11 p.m. at night. “They’re not going to find it,” Roberts predicted. On the Monday before the walk, Roberts appeared before Township council to warn the numbers of young homeless people has reached a “frightening” level in the community. He said a store-front Langley City office that opened in June of 2012 to help the homeless has so far encountered 79 cases of homeless people under the age of 25, 55 of them under the age of 19. And those are only the ones the office has directly dealt with,

Revised Brookswood/Fernridge plan revealed Work on updating 25-year-old community development plan continues Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

A look at the latest revisions to a proposed community development plan for the Brookswood/Fernridge area of Langley Township drew more than 300 people to Brookswood Secondary School on Wednesday, April 10. It was one of two open houses to present the draft land use plan based on information gathered from a previous round of open houses in January. The second, at Belmont Elementary School on Saturday, April 13, drew about 250. The plan would concentrate low-rise apartment buildings and commercial developments at four sites; three intersections on 200 Street at 24, 32 and 40 Avenues, with the fourth at 40 Avenue and 208 Street. The biggest commercial devel-

Questionnaires handed out at the open house asked residents

to rate the overall plan. To handle the increased traffic generated by the higher housing density, the plan calls for widening 200 Street south

of 32 Avenue from two lanes to four, and, eventually, doing the same to 40 Avenue, which would function as “an eastward connector into Aldergrove and

onto Fraser Highway” in the words of the planning department presentation distributed at the open house. Brookswood/Fernridge currently has a population of 13,000, most living in singlefamily homes. A 1987 community plan adopted by council envisioned a community of 35,500 at buildout, most of them living in houses on 7,000 square foot lots. The 25-year-old plan also called for a commercial centre at 200 Street and 32 Avenue, surrounded by multi-family housing with up to 30 units an acre. A recent planning department assessment said that plan is “outdated, and does not reflect current planning principles, including lessons and insights gained over the past two decades.” Previous attempts to update the plan foundered because the area lacked sewer service. But there is sewer service now, as a result of the 200 Street line installed for the upscale High Point development project near the U.S. border, which was approved in 2004. If all goes according to schedule, the revised plan will be completed this fall, when it will go back to council for approval.

Langley teen accused of molesting six-year-old Incidents alleged to have taken place during sleepovers at home of youth bowling coach Monique TaMMinga

Times Reporter

A teenaged boy has been charged with six counts of sexual interference, in connection with incidents involving a six-yearold Langley boy. Now the mother of the victim wants to warn other parents that predators can lurk anywhere, even involving activities as innocuous as bowling. The alleged incidents, which haven’t been proven in court, didn’t take place at a bowling alley. Her son was having sleepovers at the home of a youth bowling

coach, where the accused also lives. When the mother wanted to enter her six-year-old son in his first attempt at team sports, she thought of giving bowling a try. The decision turned into a nightmare that is still playing out for her today. Her son liked bowling, or so it seemed. Because the games took place quite early on Saturday mornings, the coach of the local team offered to have her son stay overnight and the coach would take him to the bowling alley for her. After one month of sleepovers, she got a call from her son’s school, saying that her little boy was making some concerning

sexual comments to other students while they were outside at recess and lunch. Investigators who specialize in child sexual abuse interviewed her son and charges were laid against a 16-year-old teen. He has been to court twice on the charges, most recently appearing on April 3. In the meantime, she isn’t sure the rest of the parents from the team are aware of the charges. The coach continues to coach. He has not been charged with anything. The Times called Willowbrook Lanes, which organizes the youth bowling league, to see if the other parents have been made aware of the criminal charges. The Times was told “it has been dealt with.” Youth Bowling Canada wasn’t made aware of the charges until the mother called their office last month.

According to Paul Oliviera, executive director of Youth Bowling Canada, because bowling clubs are organized through bowling centres and on a volunteer basis, criminal checks required of coaches and volunteers are not required, as is the case in organized sports like soccer or hockey. Langley RCMP said they don’t believe there are other victims. The accused is presently going through the court system and will make another appearance on May 1. In the meantime, his mom had been trying to find out if anyone could pay for counselling for her son, because she couldn’t afford it. Since then, the Langley Boys and Girls Club have been made aware of the situation and have offered to pay for counselling for her son, she said.

A prominent corner of Aldergrove may finally get a much needed facelift from the “eyesore” it is now.

Councillors Charlie Fox and Bob Long called the corner lot an “eyesore.” “It’s good they are going to clean up that corner. It’s been left in a derelict state for a while now,” said Fox. But Long wasn’t too happy about commercial buildings filling the lot. He expressed concern that putting commercial stores there will hurt an already hurting downtown Aldergrove. “There is already a glut of commercial space in Aldergrove,”said Long.

Suspect sought in neck stabbing case

Dial-a-dope appeal goes up in smoke Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

A 37-year-old man who went by the name “Nasty” and was convicted in 2011 of being the leader of dial-a-dope operations in Surrey and Langley has had his appeals rejected last week. Dan MacNeil was convicted in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster on four counts in relation to dial-a-dope operations in Surrey and Langley in 2005 and 2006. Information from his trial said he was known by the name of ‘Nasty,’ drove a Hummer and was accused of running the heroin trade with his brother and numerous others. Police conducted a 15-month long investigation that included wiretaps and undercover operations. MacNeil was appealing his conviction on the basis that the trial judge erred in dismissing his application to cross-examine the police officer involved in the wiretaps and erred also in regards to the wiretap authorizations. He appealed the wiretaps, argu-

ing they didn’t meet the statutory requirements of “reasonable grounds” and “investigative necessity.” Three B.C. judges from the Court of Appeal dismissed MacNeil’s appeals on the grounds that it was reasonable to obtain wiretaps and the there wasn’t a need to crossexamine the police officer involved. The trial judge found that MacNeil was the leader of a group of people who conspired to traffic in drugs, namely cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine in an enterprise known as a “dial-a-dope” operation. The trafficking was conducted by way of two dial-a-dope phone lines in Surrey and Langley. The activity was the subject of a 15-month police investigation started in July 2005, during which time investigators made 30 undercover purchases of controlled substances using the telephone lines in question. The central issue at the trial was the admissibility of wiretap evidence obtained by the RCMP in August of 2006.

Richard Franks

Langley RCMP have issued an arrest warrant for Richard Franks who is accused of stabbing another man in the neck with a broken bottle on March 27 in Aldergrove. Around 8 a.m., police were called to a home in Aldergrove after a man was stabbed in the neck. It’s alleged that Franks broke a beer bottle over a man’s head and then used the broken bottle to cut his neck, said Cpl. Holly Marks. “It is believed the two were arguing over property and money,”said Marks. To date, Franks hasn’t been

arrested but is facing a charge of aggravated assault. Police are asking for the public’s assistance to locate him. Richard Sydney Allen Franks is a 26-year-old Caucasian man of no fixed address; however police believe he frequents the Langley area. He is 6’2,” 190 pounds, heavy build, fair complexion with brown hair and brown eyes. If you have any information that would assist police in locating Franks call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. To remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

As Liberal candidate Rich Coleman speaks, other Fort LangleyAldergrove candidates (left to right) Rick Manuel, Kevin Mitchell and Shane Dyson look on.

Candidates’ forum kicks off election

Frank Bucholtz Times Reporter

The provincial election campaign in Langley officially got underway Tuesday evening, with an allcandidates’ meeting sponsored by the Greater Vancouver Chamber of Commerce. All eight declared candidates in the two Langley ridings were on hand, including BC Conservative Party leader John Cummins, running in Langley, and deputy premier Rich Coleman, running for the BC Liberals in Fort LangleyAldergrove. The meeting was moderated by Global News anchor Steve Darling. A wide variety of issues came up at the meeting, which attracted a capacity crowd to the Summit Theatre at the Cascades Casino. Independent Kevin Mitchell, the newest candidate. is running in Fort Langley-Aldergrove. He said he decided to run because “the ordinary citizen has little to no chance (to make change) when operating from outside the system. As long as we elect members of political parties to government, the community will continue to come second to the party.” The other candidates all represent political parties, and each said they are quite capable of representing Langley’s interests in Victoria. Coleman, who has been Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA for 17 years, said he had helped bring the Langley Events Centre here after a discussion with former mayor Kurt Alberts about the community’s priorities. Polak said she has gone to bat for Langley in issues such as rail overpasses and improved transportation. Fort Langley-Aldergrove NDP candidate Shane Dyson said he has met with numerous community groups and plans to take their concerns to Victoria if elected. The candidates were asked if they would support taking another look at the HST, which was defeated in a referendum and officially ceased on March 31. Cummins said “At this point, the HST well is somewhat poisoned. But it would be possible to institute discussions with the public at large.” The Green candidate in Langley, Wally Martin, was an active campaigner against the HST, which

he conceded is better for small businesses than the PST. He said the BC Liberals didn’t tell the truth about the tax, saying it would not cost individual taxpayers more money. He said any future discussion of the tax must be truthful. Polak said the public had spoken when the HST was defeated in a referendum. She said the government could take a look at the PST and make it “operate better for small business.” Langley NDP candidate Andrew Mercier said the BC Liberal government did not have a policy discussion around the HST before introducing it as legislation. He said that, in Ontario, there were wide consultations and the tax was introduced with much less fuss. The candidates were asked about the Agricultural Land Reserve. “They’re not making any more soil,” said Mitchell. “If we want to maintain farming here, we must protect the ALR at all costs.” Fort Langley-Aldergrove Conservative candidate Rick Manuel said the ALR is very important to Langley, and is facing “constant pressure for development.” Coleman said there is no need for any land in Langley to be removed from the ALR, as there is plenty of potential urban land in Willoughby and Brpookswood. He also defended the Right to Farm Act, saying farmers have to be able to run their businesses without facing the possibility of being shut down by neighbours. Dyson said the ALR protects usable farmland, but much of it remains fallow. “We need to encourage young farmers, because it is an astronomical expense to buy land.” Road pricing was discussed. Mercier said that an NDP government would return $200 million from the carbon tax to TransLink. Polak said she is working with the TransLink Mayors’ Council to identify new funding sources, and the Liberals will put recommendations to a referendum in 2014. Martin noted that in 1910, an interurban line served 17,000 people in the Fraser Valley, and 103 years later, there is nothing similar to serve one million. Cummins said B.C. residents don’t support tolls. For more on this meeting, see www.langleytimes.com.

Public awareness of issue has been achieved–Warawa Warawa recognizes that the issue has now received far more attention, and he said he plans to continue talking about it at universities, in debates and in public discussions. He wants to work with MPs from other parties on the issue. “Seeking more ideas and input on how to deal with the issue of gendercide is the best way to go now,” he said. “Public awareness has been achieved.

“I considered what the best options would be, and I didn’t think (an appeal) to the full House of Commons would be successful. “ He will be replacing the motion with a private member’s bill, which will seek to change sentencing guidelines for sex offenders. It has come about as the result off a discussion with Langley residents whose daughter was the victim of a sex offender. The offender served a portion of his six-month sentence

in jail and served the remainder at his home, next door to the victim. “Courts need discretion, but they also need guidance,” Warawa said. “We as a society cannot permit a sex offender to serve a sentence anywhere near the victim.” “The parent said to me “Why should I have to move?,” and that’s a relevant question,” Warara said. He will introduce the new bill, called the Safe At Home bill, on Thursday.

Youth ‘not in best of circumstances’ HOMELESS, from PaGE 1

Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times

Loren Roberts of Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services told Township council Monday night the number of homeless youth is at a “frightening” level in both Langleys.

Roberts said he has sometimes been forced to transfer local homeless youth to other Metro Vancouver communities if they need immediate shelter. He said most of the young homeless survive by couch-surfing homes of friends with sympathetic parents or settling for accommodation that is “not in the best of circumstances” Roberts said. He said landlords

are reluctant to rent to under-age tenants, in part because people below the age of consent can’t be held legally liable for damage to the suites. The Township recently contributed $5,000 to provide an emergency cold-weather shelter for young homeless people. Roberts said work to obtain funding for an expanded homeless shelter for under-25 people is underway. “We’re developing a bit of a business plan,” he said.

And the race begins

Important election

fter months of shadow boxing, the 2013 provincial election campaign officially got underway on Tuesday. On May 14, voters will choose the next provncial government. That government, unless it is a minority government, will be in charge of B.C. finances and public policy for the next four years. At this early juncture, it looks like the NDP’s election to lose. The party is in a comfortable lead in all opinion polls and seems to have overcome the negative images it has had to grapple with in the past three elections. The party, under Adrian Dix, is sticking to a mostly moderate course, but a significant number of voters continue to have doubts about its ability to manage the economy and keep demands from public sector unions under control. The NDP is historically and formally aligned with organized labour, and NDP governments elected in B.C. in the past have had challenges staving off demands from unions. At a time when the economy is good, this is less of an issue, but it appears the B.C. economy is in for several years of uncertainty — as is the case in most of the rest of Canada and much of the world. The governing BC Liberals will wage a spirited campaign, and Premier Christy Clark is a good campaigner. The party has a big challenge, with a large number of voters indicating they want to make a change. Twelve years in office is a long time for any party, and it’s hard to stay fresh and keep in touch with the many demands from the population while governing and making tough decisions. The BC Conservatives, led by John Cummins, who is running in the Langley riding, are an untried force. The party has put out a number of specific details about its approach to government, with an emphasis on resource development, ending the carbon tax and tax credits for regular users of toll bridges and ferries. The Green Party, who have been invisible in both Langley ridings until last week’s announcement that Wally Martin was running in Langley, have a detailed platform as well — including a plan to boost the carbon tax. Voters need to pay attention in the next four weeks. The Times will have plenty of information for them, both in the newspaper and online, to help them make up their minds.

he 2013 provincial election will be one of the most important in a generation. At a time when the economy appears to be in slow motion, yet demands on the public purse are increasing, voters need to pay attention to who’s running. Of course, we say this for every election — to no avail. Last time around, in the 2009 provincial election, only about 50 per cent of voters bothered to cast a vote. Who is to blame and will things be any different this year? It’s hard to say. Is it negative advertising that turns people off? NDP leader Adrian Dix says so and has promised a more positive campaign. But will that end indifference or will people turn away from boredom. Is it helplessness and apathy that keep people away from the polls? Many people simply don’t connect with government. BC Liberal leader Christy Clark has tried to be a populist premier, appealing to the hockey mom vote, but has failed to attract women’s support, pundits say. Why? Perhaps B.C. voters simply distrust anything politicians say. Clearly there is a disconnect and the media may have contributed to this malaise by blowing every little incident out of proportion. As in the story of the boy who cried wolf, many voters simply tune out after a while. Sadly, when there is a real issue, such as lack of funding for transit, many eligible voters simply don’t see the connection between their vote and government policy. Instead, they leave the field to special interest groups — business, unions, lobbyists — who proceed to hijack the results. The truth is that politicians will only be accountable if we hold them accountable. We have a right to toss any of them out if they don’t do what they promised, so voters need to pay attention to what politicians say and they need to find out who they are. Pay attention to information in local newspapers and other media as the campaign proceeds. —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.

Focus on equestrian improvements Editor: I read with interest the front page article of the April 11 Times, which spoke to the resurrection of the Campbell Valley Park heritage raceway, a facility that has been closed as a raceway since 1984. The notion of a stock car “money maker” is so ill-conceived it makes one’s head spin. For now, let’s put aside the fact that the north side hill is so unstable, that recently over 400 cubic metres of mud sloughed across the asphalt track. This has resulted in the oval being closed to the public. Never mind that the paved track is in such poor condition that it could never safely accommodate a stock car function without significant repair. Never mind

the concrete barriers that are deteriorated beyond repair and have been rendered useless as a safety feature. The repair costs to the stock car “money maker” are estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Instead, let’s focus on a 1,400-acre regional park which has become a state-ofthe-art equestrian facility and has surpassed expectations by becoming the envy of equestrian enthusiasts around the country. It is a facility with kilometres of equestrian trails, which hosts “money making” equestrian events throughout the year. It also offers non-equestrian folk a local and unique wilderness experience.

Now picture, in this unique environment, the noise and impacts from stock cars, spectators, vendors, traffic, parking, trucks, trailers and numerous other disruptions. Mission, Agassiz, Bremerton, Castle Rock and Yakima are within a day’s drive and offer stock car and other racing enthusiasts excellent venues for their sport. If money is an issue, then Metro Vancouver could leverage through demand by offering enhanced equestrian facilities and increase revenues through those enhancements. In summary, let’s not put the cart before the horse. Doug Hyde, Langley

Students raise concerns about forest sale Editor: Our Grade 2 class has been participating in the Classroom Energy Diet Challenge. Students across Canada have taken the challenge to increase their energy awareness and to share their knowledge with the country. One of the challenges was to choose an article in our local paper and respond to it. The children chose to respond to articles in The Times about the land in Glen Valley that council considered selling. Please find attached a couple of letters: I am writing in response to a newspaper article we read. I disagree with Township council because there are trees pro-

viding oxygen and endangered animals living there. The animals will lose their home and their food and we will lose some oxygen. I don’t want to live in a world with less animals. Please do not build houses there. Levi, Pavit and Nicole I am writing about the article on Glen Valley, because they are wanting to cut down too many trees. I disagree with selling the land because they are cutting the trees down. I do not want to follow this idea. Our aboriginal people think the land and forest are important.

Colton, Ken, Vincent and Freyja I am writing in response to a newspaper story, where they want to sell the land to raise money to use to make a rec centre. I disagree with this because there are animals living there. They will lose their homes, because you are cutting down the trees, and also it’s bad. Trees give you oxygen. Please never sell the land. Destiny, Genna and Chance Thank you for considering these letters from the students for publication. Bonnie Cunningham, Langley Meadows Elementary

Many transit users won’t get a chance to vote Editor: I would like to express my outrage as to the fact that regional transit funding could be placed in the hands of several million voters, none of which are going to be under 18 because those people are regarded as underage and have no say in their provincial government. Public transit needs to be treated as a first-class transportation system, not only because it’s the most sustainable and efficient way of moving people, but because it is relied on by many groups of people (particularly young people and students). They are hurt by the lack thereof.

By turning to a decision option that excludes the voices of the young population and creates the risk that those who do not care about young people will be favoured, the BC Liberals are continuing their consistent disrespect of the young population. Remember the Liberals’ Bill 22? Because of their incompetence, B.C. now has the worst student-to-teacher ratio in Canada. The situation being faced by young people in B.C. today is already very tough, and a denial of their voice in defining their transportation future will only make it worse.

Investing in transit is crucial to giving young people mobility choices that they need, to pursue the opportunities and connections that will allow them to become productive members of society. Prioritizing young people is important, because they can become the innovators that this world will need to solve global issues. I will be voting for another party this season. Well, I would be if I could, but I cannot vote. Unfortunately, I’m under 18. Daryl Dela Cruz, Surrey

Polishing image Editor: Jim McGregor’s column in the April 11 Times had it right on the money. The Stanley Cup rioters have cleaned up their act and polished their image for the TV cameras and print media, but the fact remains that many of them are sorry — to have been caught. It is indeed a shame that much of the time the real community heroes don’t get the recognition that is due them. In fact, most of these people quietly work behind the scenes making our lives better. Langley is fortunate to have a service club and a community which celebrates these people for their hard work and sheer determination. On the flip side, the rioters deserve a couple of things too: Jail time depending on the severity of their acts, and community service for every one of them. Lilianne Fuller, Langley

Caring humans take good care of a badly-frightened dog Editor: Caring souls are evident by their actions. This was the case Tuesday morning. Cars crowded 42 Avenue heading west, and a frightened female Burmese Mountain dog frequently dashed across the road. She was obviously lost, frightened and in mortal danger of being run over. The

Two ladies stopped their cars and asked me and my companion for help as we strode along with two small dogs. Armed with biscuits and quiet words of encouragement, we collared the frightened animal. One of the ladies provided an extra leash, stating that we could keep it.

Upon arriving home, I fed the frightened but friendly animal and asked my wife to phone the Langley Animal Protection Society, as there was no identification to the owner on the dog tags on her collar. I fed and watered my new companion as I felt growing affection for her.

Quickly the LAPS driver arrived and ushered my new acquaintance into her van. I feel most grateful to LAPS and most particular admiration for the kind women who stopped to help. Bless them all and that friendly, frightened dog. Mike Harvey, Langley

Guy Miller new airport manager Dan Ferguson

“Really nothing different than I’ve been doing.” He said he is looking forward to working with his son to develop the airport over the long term. “We really enjoy working together.” He added the switch from a contract to a full-time Township job meant his son had to compete for the position, to apply and follow municipal hiring procedures. The March 28 engineering memo said Miller was one of 12 applicants for the position. “Although many of the applicants had a current pilot licence and postsecondary education related to airport aviation, their experiences were more related to traffic control or pilot instruction,” the memo stated. “The successful applicant, Guy Miller, met the required qualifications whose knowledge, skills and abilities included an acceptable level of airport management experience, proven safety management record and extensive local knowledge of both the Langley Regional Airport and Township of Langley.”

THE ULTIMATE SALES EVENT

The new person in charge of the Langley Regional Airport is the son of the previous manager. Guy Miller took over from his father George Miller as manager of the airport on Jan. 3. The information was disclosed in a March 28 memo by the Langley Township engineering division. The memo was released at the request of Councillor Kim Richter. The older Miller confirmed the change in an interview with The Times on Wednesday. “It was an arrangement that I hoped would happen for some time,” George Miller said. “I wanted him [Guy] to succeed me as airport manager.” The elder Miller has managed the airport under a contract with his company, Avcon Consulting, since 1990. His son has been working with him for several years. The father said he will continue working on the airport for the Township as a consultant.

s the B.C. NDP launched its election campaign last week with a package of income tax hikes, higher than those in the B.C. Liberals’ election budget of February, a third party leader toured the province with plans to get rid of the carbon tax. It’s not readily apparent from his recently released “fiscal framework” document, but B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins told me his plan to phase out B.C.’s carbon tax does not include raising income tax rates that were lowered to make the carbon tax “revenue neutral.” He predicts revenue growth. I reached Cummins in Prince George, where he was continuing his aggressive courtship of northern B.C. with an announcement that federal gas tax revenues would be redirected to a new fund for locally determined road improvements. Earlier he vowed to study the deplorable state of northern ambulance service. Cummins has more good news for the north: that’s where a regionally-phased elimination of the carbon tax would begin. It’s also the area of thinnest population, meaning the impact on the B.C. treasury would be less. This is, after all, a tax budgeted to bring in $1.2 billion in the current year. The B.C. Conservatives continually remind people that the carbon tax falls disproportionately on rural, remote and

opportunity for liquefied natural gas exports, or we have the chance to shrink government, grow the economy, lower taxes and pay off the debt for our kids,” Clark told reporters gathered outside Government House in Victoria. The NDP has supported LNG exports, but wants to extend B.C.’s carbon tax to natural gas drilling emissions that would add up to $100 million more a year. Clark has suggested taxes and royalties from LNG exports should go toward a “prosperity fund.” BC Conservative leader John Cummins has emphasized that B.C.’s debt nearly doubled under the NDP government of the 1990s, and has almost doubled again in the 12 years of B.C. Liberal rule. Dix boarded his campaign bus Tuesday for a series of stops in Vancouver and Burnaby.

Turn your landscape vision

into a reality

Is the City of Langley an appropriate place for the commercial production of medical marijuana? The question was raised at the April 8 meeting of City council, as the municipality considers how it will address upcoming changes to federal laws surrounding the cultivation of prescription pot. By March, 2014, all existing medical marijuana licences will have expired. After that, production will no longer be permitted in private homes, instead being confined to secure and closely monitored commercial locations. Rather than implement restrictive zoning, as some municipalities — including Maple Ridge, Surrey, Coquitlam and Vancouver — are reported to be considering, Langley City is proposing a complete prohibition on the production of medical marijuana within its boundaries. Only Councillor Dave Hall argued against the motion, which passed first and second reading at the meeting, saying it represents a “NIMBY” (not in my backyard) attitude that confuses the issue of medical marijuana with recreational use. “This appears to be out of step with the direction taken by other municipalities and sets the City apart as a target

for legal contention at taxpayers expense,” Hall wrote in a prepared statement, released prior to the meeting. He added that the bylaw “jumps the gun on draft legislation that has not been completed but … addresses both security and environmental concerns” and that it “constitutes an attack on legitimate users of a doctor prescribed medicine or pharmaceutical that is a potential pain relief for a variety of conditions.” Councillor Gayle Martin replied that medical marijuana will continue to be available within the City to people with prescriptions, but that doesn’t mean it should be grown there. “Within the four square miles … of the City of Langley I do not feel we have enough agricultural land — other than Newlands golf course — for a person to operate commercially,” said Martin. “It’s not prohibiting the use of medical marijuana, but I don’t feel our community fits commercial grow operations. I have no problem with this (bylaw).” “What community does have that fit?” asked Hall. Marijuana cultivation is an indoor activity, he said, adding it is easier to make an indoor operation secure. And, he added, it makes sense to keep production as close to the customer as possible to keep costs down.

“How far from the consumer does the product get driven? “Many people accessing (medical marijuana) because of issues they have, are some of the most marginalized people.” “Do we start growing lettuce in downtown Langley City because we have to get it from California in the winter?” asked Martin. Hall’s attempt to table the motion until the return of Mayor Peter Fassbender, who was absent from the meeting, died without a seconder. “I think this lacks compassion — this attitude and the tack we’re taking,” said Hall. Under the new rules, medical marijuana will be dispersed through pharmacies or by mail and consumers will be limited to purchasing 150 grams at a time — which works out to five grams per day for 30 days. Last February, Langley MP Mark Warawa spoke about the changes to the program at a meeting of Langley Chamber of Commerce. Over the course of 11 years, the medical grow program has expanded from under 500 licences in 2002 to 26,000 in 2013, he told the gathering. There are a number of safety concerns with medicinal marijuana grow operations, Warawa added. “It’s not a perfect system, but we believe this will help dramatically.”

Times Reporter

Just in time for spring, a garden party. The Saturday (April 20) event in the 21200 block of Fraser Highway, near the Langley Airport, is to celebrate the opening of the Langley Demonstration Garden at the Derek Doubleday Arboretum. The Earth Day planting party will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., rain or shine. Snacks and gardening tools will be

provided. The Langley Demonstration Garden moved to the Arboretum after 20 years in Murrayville last fall. Run by the Langley Environmental Partners Society (LEPS), the facility offers education and hands-on programs that promote safe home and garden practices such as composting, the use of native plants, and chemical-free gardening. “A lot of people who were regulars at our Murrayville Garden are excited

about coming out and putting plants in the ground” said LEPS Executive Director Nichole Marples. “The planting party is a great way to kick off our new location.” The landscape installation work and plant purchases for the new garden were funded in part by CN Rail’s CN EcoConnexions Program and its partners Tree Canada and Communities in Bloom. To confirm attendance, email Nichole Marples at nmarples@ tol.ca.

This ought to float your boat The second annual Float Your Boat For A Cure runs Sunday, April 21 at Derby Reach Park. With each donation, participants receive a paper boat to float in the river and to dedicate it to the fight against cancer, a survivor or in memory to a lost loved one. The fundraiser is done in memory of Andrew Vaydo, who passed away in 2011 after a twoyear battle with lymphoma.

It is organized by Team Andrew Forever and works to raise funds on behalf of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Light the Night Walk. The event runs from noon to 5 p.m. and will also feature familyfriendly activities with entertainment, face-painting, food and a bouncy castle. Last year’s event raised $2,000, and organizers are hoping to at least double that this year.

From Sin City to an island paradise Langley’s Darren Lee performed for 11 years in Vegas. Next he’s off to Maui ... with stops in Memphis and Surrey Times Reporter

e’s paid his dues in blue suede shoes. The title of Darren Lee’s autobiography has practically written itself. But the Edmonton-born Elvis tribute artist who now calls Langley home, has a few more chapters to live before he finally sits down to pen the story of his life. So far, it is one that’s taken him from chilly northern Alberta to the scorching Nevada desert. And, if all goes as planned, it will carry him to the end of his days in a tropical island paradise. Before coming to Langley two years ago, Lee spent 11 exhausting years appearing on stage as Elvis in a Las Vegas showroom and performing 50 weddings a month in one of the City’s famous little wedding chapels. And prior to that (in 1997 — on the 20th anniversary of Elvis’ death, in fact) he earned the title of world’s best Elvis tribute artist from among 397 competitors at Images of Elvis contest in Memphis, Tenn. “It’s now called Ultimate Elvis and it’s a bigger thing. It was cool to win it,” said Lee, sitting down to chat about his plans for a unique new stage show and an upcoming performance at Surrey’s Bell Centre. “I was lucky,” said Lee. “I had a certain body type.” While it’s great to have a convincing look, to Lee a good Elvis impression is, first and foremost, about the sound. But before he’d even fully developed his voice, he was already working on the signature hip swivel. “Thankfully, I had a good looking dad. I concentrated on making the moves — I wanted to make them the best you’ve

ever seen,” said Lee. “For me, everything was a step. “In my 30s, my voice came in. It kept me in Vegas all those years.” From 2000 to 2011 Lee performed as part of the American Superstars show at the Stratosphere on the Vegas strip. In fact, his was the longest continuously running Elvis act in Sin City until his record was recently surpassed. Running from lounge show to wedding ceremony and back again, Lee’s wallet was thick with cash and he was spending it as fast as he earned it. A Vegas wedding, said Lee, is “the best, most fun you’ll ever have.” He actually preferred doing the vow renewals to the actual marriages because he didn’t have to follow a script. “I’d ask ‘Do you take (this person) to be your hunka hunka burnin’ love, to love her tender? Say uh huh.’ “I’d be singing A Little Less Conversation and the whole chapel would be shaking,” he recalled with a smile. Then the economy collapsed. The wedding business dried up, salaries were slashed as the lounge act began to struggle and Lee lost his house. He stuck it out for a few more years before moving home to Canada in 2011. It was Lee’s wife who suggested they come to Langley. Here, the couple has been raising their twin daughters, who are nearly two years old, while Lee has performed in Lower Mainland casinos. “Langley has been great — I’ve played the Cascades. I would love to do the car show (Langley Good Times Cruise In) but they have their Elvis,” he said. Now, Lee is ready to give the

Elvis tribute artist Darren Lee will perform at the Bell Centre in Surrey on Friday, April 26. Tickets at 604-507-6355. U.S. another shot. This time, he’s headed back to Memphis to open an Elvis tribute show on the famed Beale Street. The idea is to run it for a few months and then pass it off to his brother, who also just happens to be an Elvis impersonator. After that, Lee will move to Maui to open his own Elvisthemed luau. The Rockin’ Hawaiian Luau will forgo the traditional roast

pig in favour of a few of the King’s preferred foods — barbecued Memphis ribs and peanut butter and banana sandwich appetizers. “Instead of leis, we’ll give out scarves.” On any given night, the stage show will feature selections from the three movies Elvis shot in Hawaii and from his Aloha from Hawaii performance. For his grand finale, Lee plans to sing Burnin’ Love while fire dancers spin flames behind him.

The best part for Lee, though, is that this show will belong to him. “In Vegas, I was the typical Canadian — eager to please, no sick days in 11 years,” he said. “Pink eye? ‘Get on stage’. Broken tooth? ‘Get on stage.’ “In Hawaii, it will be our show. If it fails, it will be because we didn’t promote it properly.” In what will likely be his last show in Canada for the foreseeable future, Lee and his band, The Memphis Flash, will hit the Bell Centre stage in Surrey on Friday, April 26. The first part of the show will feature Lee performing songs from Elvis’ early years — Heartbreak Hotel, Love Me Tender and Don’t Be Cruel. “I’ll come out in a red lamé jacket and tear up the floor,” he said. The second act will recreate the King’s ’68 comeback tour. Dressed head to toe in black leather, Lee will sing (among others) One Night With You and take a few requests before getting into the jumpsuit — something he once swore he’d never do — and performing hits from the 1970s — Elvis’ Vegas years. “In 2009 I gave in,” Lee said of his decision to don the white satin suit. And, no, he has no regrets over his sartorial surrender. “I put it on and it looked damn good,” he laughed. “Whoever’s in the suit, it’s how he acts. A guy who’s not a joke can pull it off.” ••• Darren Lee and the Memphis Flash will perform at the Bell Centre in Surrey on Friday, April 26.

Langley Has Talent judges named Tickets now on sale for April 20 semifinals and May 4 finals Brenda anderson Times Reporter

The fate of 30 contestants vying for top spot in the third annual Langley Has Talent competition will be in the hands of six celebrity judges, beginning this weekend. Performers who have made the cut for April 20’s semifinals will be adjudicated by Vancouver entertainment writer Tom Harrison, talent agent Jolene Moore and Langley Has Talent’s 2011 winner, singer Tiffany Desrosiers. Two weeks later, on Saturday, May 4, the top 12 acts — plus one finalist selected by audience ballot — will perform once more for the contest’s top three spots and the cash and industry prizes that accompany them. This time, it will be Global TV’s Steve Darling, Miss World Canada Tara Teng and Junonominated musician Mitch Merrett in the judges’ seats. A Langley-based song writer, manager, producer and performer, Merrett has won multiple B.C. and Canadian Country Music awards. Teng used her platform, first as Miss B.C., then as Miss World Canada, to bring awareness to the problem of modern day slavery and to advocate for its abolition. Darling, who organizer Peter Luongo describes as “the Simon Cowell of the event” last year, will bring back his “gracious but honest” assessments of the competitors. The contest will feature a number of musical acts, from solo singers to bands and dancers. The cash prizes — provided by the four Rotary Clubs of Langley, which are once again co-sponsoring the event — will be $2,500 for first place, $1,500 for the second spot and $1,000 for third. As well, the top three competitors will have their choice, in order of placement, of a pho-

Tickets are still available for both nights of competition, which will take place at Christian Life Assembly, 21277 56 Ave. They can be purchased at the Langley Times office, 20258 Fraser Hwy. or get them online at langleyhastalent.ca. They are $20 each. Or buyers can save a bit by purchasing a $35/package which includes a ticket for each of the semifinal and final competitions. In addition to providing live entertainment to the public and offering performers a chance to shine, LHT aims to raise money for and awareness of the need for a performing arts centre in Langley. When people come out to Langley Has Talent and cheer for their favourite performers, “they are endorsing the idea that we are really looking forward to having a performing arts theatre in Langley,” said Luongo.

SLT fired up for latest production Surrey Little Theatre is keeping the home fires burning. With a cast that includes a trio of Langley performers, the community theatre which lies just down the road in Surrey’s Clayton neighbourhood, is set to present their final play of the season and Fraser Valley Zone Festival entry. Home Fires, written by Jack Heifner, follows Nettie, a woman raising three teenage children on her own, and four

young woman boarders struggling to make their way in small town Texas during and just after the Second World War. “Life makes some people bitter and some people better; not all the victories or all the casualties were on the battlefields,” said co-director Paul Cowhig. Among the cast are Langley actors Hannah Cenaiko, as Nola, Emily Gingera, as Maydene, and Loryn LeGear

as June. Home Fires runs each Thursday to Saturday at 8 p.m. from April 18 to May 18 with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15.

Langley’s Waterstone to release next phase

Appealing to the downsizing market As the baby boomers get older, many of them are looking to find a singlestorey home that they can lock up and leave when they decide to go away for awhile. The newest phase at Langley’s Waterstone, called Esplanade, has been catering to downsizers with spacious floorplans and a vibrant community feel. “These are the largest ever floorplans offered at Waterstone,” says Scott Brown of Colliers International. “It’s also the first lofted product in the area. That loft gives you 100 square feet of extra living space.” Along with that extra space, the homes with lofts will have 14-foot

ceilings. Brown notes that it can be hard for downsizers to move from a larger single-family home to a small condominium, especially when they’ve been there for many years and possibly raised a family. “There’s an emotional connection to your home,” he says. One of the things that he has found downsizing buyers asking for is storage. People accumulate plenty of possessions over the years, and sometimes aren’t ready to part with all of it quite yet. For more information about Esplanade, visit waterstoneliving.ca or call 604-530-5399.

matching backsplash. Most include a his-and-hers vanity, which is another one of those convenient details. Located in the charming Semiahmoo neighbourhood, residents will find everything they can possibly imagine on their doorstep. From dining at one of the delicious local restaurants to shopping at nearby Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, Morgan Crossing or Grandview Corners, nothing is out of reach. Leisure and recreation is also close by, with parks, pools, arenas and clubs in the neighbourhood, as well as White Rock beach. If it’s a bit of

culture you’re looking for, you’ll find an art gallery, theatre and museum just minutes away. On-site, homeowners at Adagio will find a residents lounge with chef ’s demonstration kitchen, double-sided fireplace, televisions, pool table and a large garden and patio area. There is also a fitness centre with a steam room. “The response so far has been extremely overwhelming,” West says. “There’s nothing like this in the area.” Homes at Adagio start at $288,800. For more information, visit www. AdagioByBoffo.ca or call 604-531-6659.

Attention to detail

Boffo brings unique condo project to South Surrey By Kerry Vital

Boffo Developments Ltd. is bringing hotel-style sophistication to South Surrey with its newest development, Adagio. With a variety of floorplans and amazing features, there are plenty of things that set the project apart. “The smallest details can make a difference,” says Boffo Marketing and Sales Director Karen West. “Boffo is known for its obsession with the details.” Among those details include an amazing community courtyard with trees, paths and seating areas. “That courtyard will be sensational,” West says. “It’s a great communal living space.” The first phase of 50 condominum homes is currently selling, with buyers able to take possession before Christmas. The one-bedroom and den, twobedroom and den and three-bedroom homes are spacious and inviting, with nine-foot ceilings (up to 15 feet on the top floor), expansive windows, and large terraces and patios that are perfect for entertaining. Boffo is known for high-quality design, but one room in the home really draws people in. “Our kitchens are really outstanding,” West says, adding “They are built for the serious chef.” That’s not an exaggeration. The natural granite or quartz slab countertops are matched with a complementary backsplash. The under-cabinet and recessed lighting

Coins for Cayla Monique TAMMINGA/Langley Times

Cayla Morris walks with her mom Jo-Anne at McLeod Park. Doctors at Children’s Hospital spent years trying to find a diagnosis for Cayla. Finally, last year her family learned that she is one of only two people in the world found to have a specific chromosomal disorder. Cayla is running a coin drive for Children’s throughout the month of April (her birthday month).

Langley girl is one of two people in the world who has been diagnosed with unique chromosome abnormality MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

nstead of presents for her birthday this month, 11-year-old Cayla Morris is hoping people will donate their quarters to BC’s Children’s Hospital, a place the Langley Christian School student is very familiar with. In fact, she is considered one of the hospital’s ambassadors. While it’s not that unusual for children to forgo birthday gifts in favour of donations to a charity, what is unique about Cayla’s story is, well, everything. Without Children’s hospital and all its expert doctors, Cayla wouldn’t have received all the help she has over her 11 years, including a diagnosis last year that makes her one of only two people in the world to have her condition. The other is a 17-year-old boy who lives in Italy. Now there are drop boxes set up all over Langley with Cayla’s picture and story, in hopes people will dig into their pockets and change purses and donate a little to a place that means so much to her. ••• When Jo-anne Morris’ third daughter Cayla was born on April 24, 2001, she came into this world a healthy six pounds 11.5 ounces — content, easy and one of the “most beautiful girls” Jo-anne had ever seen. But when Cayla was six-months-old, doctors became concerned that she had stopped putting on weight. She was a slow eater and might have had an allergy to formula, said her mom. Cayla was referred to a pediatrician who began monitoring her regularly. By her first birthday she weighed less than 17 pounds. She also hadn’t reached any of her milestones of sitting up, rolling

over or crawling. Cayla’s allergies also became more prevalent. Goat’s milk sent her to the emergency room and a taste of peanut butter sent her into anaphylactic shock. Her parents found out she is fatally allergic. By the time Cayla was two, doctors told Jo-anne that if her daughter didn’t eat more calories , she would have to go to Children’s for a lot of testing. The mother of two healthy girls decided to get creative. She knew if she turned Cayla upside down her reflex was to open her mouth. So that’s how she fed Cayla for some time, often tickling her to get her to swallow. But most of the fruits and vegetables she fed her, Cayla was allergic to. She wasn’t growing or gaining weight, and so the testing began at Children’s Hospital. “Cayla was being tested for everything, cystic fibrosis, autism, you name it, they were testing her for it. Each and every time I was being told how “unique” she was,” said Jo-anne. The doctors at Children’s sat Jo-anne down and told her some of their findings. “Cayla was mentally slow. Actually, back then they said, ‘she is moderately retarded.’ A word that made me sick to my stomach and one that I will never get used to, no mother ever could. “Today they say she is “intellectually disabled”, also she has hypotonia, hyporeflexia, OCD, a bit of ADHD, and she has short person stature.” Not long after that, they were sent for a four-hour speech assessment, where it was concluded Cayla has Apraxia — her mouth muscles and her brain signals do not coincide. Cayla didn’t speak her first words until she was four. She still continues speech

therapy on a weekly basis and speaks quite well now. “We were then referred to an endocrinologist, Dr. Stewart, at Children’s Hospital. We were sent for even more blood work, CT Scans, MRIs, bone density tests -– the list goes on and on,” she said. “One night I received a call from Dr. Stewart, telling me that she’d had a conference with about seven specialists about Cayla.” The MRI had shown Cayla’s pituitary gland was much more compressed than originally thought. Liquid had formed around it while she was in my womb, compressing the gland greatly.” The pituitary gland controls much of the body, such as growth hormones, a women’s menstrual cycle, and the ability to have a child. Cayla will most likely not be able to. “Cayla loves babies and kids,” said JoAnne. “If there is one word I could use to describe Cayla it is compassionate, especially for younger people. If they look sad or hurt themselves she is the first to go over and ask what is wrong.” For Cayla to continue her life she has to take growth hormones shots every day. Still, there wasn’t a full diagnosis or name for what was going on with Cayla — something Jo-anne desperately wanted. Then her phone rang in November 2012. It was BC Children’s geneticist Dr. Sylvia Langois. “To my incredible surprise she said, “Mom, I think we have a diagnosis.” Cayla has chromosome 17P 13.1 microduplication. She is only one of two people diagnosed with it in the world. The other is a 17-year-old boy, named Umberto, who lives in Italy. Because there are only two children diagnosed with this in the world so far,

the doctors were able to introduce the families. “I have now been in touch with Umberto’s family several times. I feel like I have won a lottery, I finally have a family who has gone through what ours goes through. I finally have a family to compare notes with. “What he has been through mirrors what Cayla has.” Jo-anne is eternally grateful to Children’s for not giving up and for providing such good care for Cayla. Fundraising for the hospital will always be part of their lives, she said. On behalf of Cayla, Jo-anne has been spreading the word about her daughter’s coin drive and many are happy to get on board. Cayla’s school, Langley Christian, has already began fundraising. Because Cayla was too shy to speak to her classmates, staff helped her make a short video which was played at chapel. That video will be played at the middle and high school, too. “Not only is this such a wonderful cause but all of this is helping Cayla’s confidence and helping more children become aware,” said Jo-anne. Awareness and not feeling alone is key, she said. “There are other families waiting for a diagnosis,” she said. “My message to all of you is, ‘there is always hope. Children’s Hospital will be there without fail for all of us.’” Drop off your quarters at the Fox and The Fiddle, Choo Choos, IGA in Walnut Grove, Langley Works Yard, Original Joe’s Cloverdale location.

Fighting fat: UK’s MEND Diamond Blowout Prices program comes to Langley

Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

A program that has helped thousands of overweight children get in better shape is coming to Langley Township. MEND (Mind, Exercise, Nutrition...Do it!) is a 10-week healthy lifestyle course available to families with children aged between seven and 13 who are above a healthy weight. The program, which runs in schools and leisure centres around the world, was developed in 2004 by child health experts at the Great Ormond Street Hospital, a children’s hospital in London, England along with the University College London’s Institute of Child Health. Families and children take part in games and activities to learn about exercise, proper nutrition and how to maintain a balanced diet. Over 30,000 families in the UK, Australia, Canada and the U.S. have taken the 10-week course so far. “It’s a fun way to learn about nutrition in a relaxed atmosphere” said Township Community Recreation Manager Lesley Visser.

MEND (Mind, Exercise, Nutrition...Do it!) aims to help kids fight obesity.

No foul play in disappearance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; police Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been more than three weeks since 80-year-old Shengyun Song went out for a walk in Walnut Grove and vanished without a trace. Hundreds of posters are up, police have done searches on the ground and by air, volunteers have combed the area and even with a sunny Easter weekend passed, the family of the Chinese national are no closer to understanding what happened or where he is. Two weeks ago, son Clark Song asked Langley RCMP to

look into the possibility that his father met with foul play. Clark points to another missing personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case in Burnaby â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the disappearance of 66-year-old Gui Feng Tong. She went missing in the Burnaby Mountain area on Jan. 16. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a very sad situation but at this point we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any evidence to point to that,â&#x20AC;? said Langley RCMP Const. Craig van Herk. Investigators donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe Mr. Songâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappearance is targeted, he said. Song was reported missing at 7 p.m. on Thursday March

21 by his son, who says his father left his residence in the 8600 block of 206B Street in North Langley to go for a walk alone and did not return home. The missing man is a resident of China and does not speak any English. Song is described as an elderly Asian male, with balding white hair, 5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;7â&#x20AC;?, 147 lbs. He was wearing a blue puffy jacket, pants, and brown shoes with a white stripe. If you have any information call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Thrills for opening of Mike’s No Frills Monique TaMMinga

leaving a gaping hole for the many seniors who live within walking distance of the Langley Mall and relied on the grocery store for all their needs. Evelyn and Alice were walking by on Tuesday to have a little peek at what the new store looks like. Within minutes, more than a dozen seniors had walked by, many asking when it’s opening and what the hours will be.

Times Reporter

A lot of Langley City seniors and area residents will be joining store owner Mike Evans and staff in welcoming the opening of Mike’s No Frills grocery store at Langley Mall on Friday. Friends Evelyn and Alice met while having a coffee at the former IGA once located there. The IGA closed its doors last August

“There are so many seniors who miss it,” said Evelyn. “It was the convenience of it. The prices were a bit higher but everyone could walk there.” But now the pair point out, the prices

at No Frills, is stated in the name. “It’s like having a mini-Superstore right here in Langley City,” said Alice. The pair said they have several friends who can’t drive any-

more and relied on walking to the IGA. “I was speaking with one woman who uses a walker and she can’t wait to be shopping on her own again,” said Alice. continued, PAGE 42

Emery, who hasn’t owned a bike since she was 12 years old, said she was very excited to finally get pedaling again.

‘I just want to be better than them’ Work ethic has helped make Sydney Williams one of the province’s top players Gary ahuja Times Sports

t was a conversation which stuck with Sydney Williams. Williams was watching the Brookswood Bobcats senior girls basketball team practice and she asked coach Neil Brown if there was an open gym that particular night. The gruff and demanding coach — known for being fairly direct — questioned her why. “He turns and looks at me and said ‘why do you care? You don’t want to be a good player. Why do you want to go to the open gym?’” Williams recalled. That brief encounter left a lasting impression. “From that day on, it was like a kick in the butt and I wanted to prove him wrong,” she said. “When I get into the weight room, I always think there are so many people who work so much harder. I just try to be the best I can be.” A few years later, and Brown is signing the praises of the graduating senior who is off to Thompson Rivers in Kamloops on scholarship next season. “Syd Williams has been the heart and soul of our team,” Brown said last month, following Brookswood’s 59-49 loss to the South Kamloops Titans in the championship finals of the B.C. AAA girls basketball tournament. “She is just such a hard worker. If some of the kids just worked half as hard as she does, we might have won (the championship).” He spoke about the hustle and determination Williams displayed on the basketball court, diving for loose balls and jumping over people for rebounds. Her play earned Williams both player of the game honours for the championship final and a first-team allstar selection. “At school, in the weight room, she LMD-VAN-surreyNdelta-5y-103125x35-BW.pdf has a work ethic I have never seen,”

Gary AHUJA/Langley Times

Brookswood Bobcats’ Sydney Williams drives to the hoop during a league game against Walnut Grove Gators earlier this season. Williams has been selected to play in the B.C. high school all-star game at the Langley Events Centre on Sunday. Brown went on. “She works so hard, it is incredible. “I have been involved with basketball for nearly 50 years (and) I have never seen a kid work so hard. It is non-stop; it is incredible.” Willliams has no problem putting in the necessary work. “When I am in the weight room, I want to be sweating and out of breath or else, I don’t feel like I have had a good workout,” she said. 1 “There 13-04-09 AM going in there if is no10:40 point

you are not going to work hard. “I want to be able to to jump higher than my opponent, be able to reach for a ball and grab and beat them down the court. I just want to be better than them.” It is this work ethic which attracted Thompson Rivers WolfPack coach Scott Reeves — a former Brookswood coach — to offer Williams a scholarship. “She is the type of character person we recruit here,” he said. “She is going to work hard … and give everything she

has got. “(And) she is a real good team player.” Reeves anticipates Williams — who turns 18 later this month (April 28) will switch from the point to shooting guard in Kamloops. “She is a great athlete and can put good pressure on the ball and likes to play at an uptempo style, which is what we like to do,” he said. “I think she can definitely contribute right away.” The always-athletic Williams played with the Fraser Valley Volleyball Club until about the ninth grade when she saw more of a future in hoops. It was around that time she began working with assistant coach Chris Veale and focusing strictly on the hardwood. Soon after, Williams made a provincial basketball team and she knew she had picked the right sport. Williams had contemplated attending a smaller school in Oregon, but instead chose Kamloops, citing that she loved the area, its proximity to home, the coach and her future teammates. She plans on studying to become either a physical education teacher or perhaps a police officer. Coaching is also likely in Williams’ future as she said she would love to come back to Brookswood and take over the program down the road. And while her coaching style may differ than her high school coach, Williams has enjoyed playing for Brown, and would want to carry over certain parts of his coaching style. “A lot of people can disagree with how (Neil) Brown coaches but I love the way he coaches,” she said. “The yelling, it helps me; he pushes you to a certain point because he wants you to be the best you can be. ••••• Williams has also been chosen to play in the B.C. high school all-star game at the Langley Events Centre on Sunday (April 21). The game features some of the top graduating seniors. It tips off at 2 p.m. And at 4 p.m., the top graduating Grade 12 boys will play in an all-star game. Featured in that game will be Walnut Grove’s Josh Mayorga. Look for his story in next week’s Langley Times.

Lange, Heinen help Sockeyes win Cup Daniell Lange finished second in tournament scoring as the Richmond Sockeyes captured the 2013 Cyclone Taylor Cup. The junior B provincial hockey championships wrapped up on April 14 in Comox Valley with the Sockeyes defeating the Victoria Cougars 4-1. The win advances Richmond — the Pacific Junior Hockey League champions — to the Keystone Cup, which is the western Canadian championships, in St. Malo, Man. It runs April 18 to 21. The Cougars were the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League champions.

Lange finished the tournament with two goals and four assists in four games, while Danton Heinen had one goal and two assists over the tournament. Both players are products of the Langley Minor Hockey Association. Richmond had beat Victoria 5-2 in the first game and then knocked off the Comox Valley Glacier Kings 6-2 on the second day. The Glacier Kings were the host squad. And in the team’s final round robin game, they defeated the Castlegar Rebels 3-2. The Rebels were the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League champs.
