Sculpture’s destruction is loss for community, says artist

Mobile home park residents picket Township civic facility Protesters worry changes to the official community plan will lead to evictions DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

The artist whose horse sculpture was torn apart by vandals in a Brookswood park over the weekend said it is the community that has lost something through the senseless act of destruction, not her personally. Marilyn Dyer, a former Langley resident who now lives in South Surrey, said that although she reacted with disbelief to news that the life-sized fibreglass sculpture she spent two and a half months painting had been vandalized, she isn’t upset for herself. For her, the reward was in the creative process. “I had so much joy doing it — my part was done,” said Dyer, a retired Langley Fine Arts School teacher. Instead, it is the Brookswood community, the people who sponsored the sculpture, the Langley Arts Council and Langley as a whole she feels have been injured by the act of vandalism. “I think the wider community should use this as a symbol of the destruction that goes on. “It seems that there are people who just can’t accept that there is something nice in their community,” said Dyer. Working on the assumption that the vandals were youths, Dyer, 80, asked her grandchildren what would make teenagers do it. One answer was that they must be very unhappy people, she said. “They’re angry at life and they have to take it out on something.” It was sometime after 9 p.m. on Saturday that the statue, provided by the Langley Arts Council and sponsored by the Brookswood Merchants Association, was destroyed. The horse was decapitated, chopped off at the hoofs and left lying on the ground. It was discovered by an employee of the Township of Langley’s parks department. continued, PAGE 6

Bill MacDonald and Barb Berthelet were among a group of Forest Green Estates mobile home park residents who picketed Township hall on Monday to protest a proposed change to the park designation they fear will make it easier to redevelop.

About a dozen Langley mobile home park residents staged a protest at Langley Township hall Monday night, against changes they believe could lead to their wholesale eviction. The demonstrators, who all live in the 160-home Forest Green Estates park at 9080 198 St., carried picket signs that read “no to rezoning our seniors park,” “save our little piece of paradise,” “seniors before progress” and “where will we go?” Spokesman Bill MacDonald said the residents were alarmed to learn council recently gave preliminary approval to a change in the official community plan (OCP) that could make it easier to redevelop the property and force them out. “They didn’t notify us,” MacDonald told The Times. The protest continued inside with the picketers joining about 100 other residents of the mobile home park who packed council chambers for the evening public hearing on the proposed new OCP. Among the many changes in the updated plan is a proposal that would alter the designation of the Forest Green Estates park from its current category of “industrial” to “urban.” The residents fear the change will make it much easier to redevelop the 55-andover gated park, currently zoned for mobile homes, into condominiums. About 20 of the residents spoke in opposition to the OCP change at the hearing. Their remarks were at times emotional, with some paying tribute to the park as a well-maintained and attractive gated community while others predicted many residents will be unable to find reasonably priced alternatives if the park is redeveloped. “We have no place else to go,” said resident Marilyn Garrity. “It’s making us very, very nervous,” resident Stuart Davidson said. Another resident, Wynn Mahoney, said the prospect of a potential rezoning is making it harder for her and other residents to sell their houses. “There is now a cloud over it,” Mahoney said. Both Township staff and council members said there is nothing in the community plan that would change the allowable use of the Forest Green Estates site right away. continued, PAGE 6

Vernon to Vancouver ride begins Monday Andy Bhatti’s ride will raise funds to help young victims of sexual abuse MONIQUE TAMMINGA TImes Reporter

Aldergrove’s Andy Bhatti is gearing up to ride 525 kilometres from Vernon to Vancouver starting Monday — all to raise awareness and funds to help young victims of sexual abuse. While he will ride some pretty gruelling terrain, with hills and perhaps bad weather, he said it’s nothing compared to the life of hiding his sexual abuse behind a heroin-induced crime lifestyle he lived for more than 15 years. “Hey, if I can smoke crack and stay up for days at a time, I can do this,” said Bhatti on Tuesday. “I’m 100 per cent ready.” The 35-year-old has come along way from 60 convictions, jail cells and the Downtown Eastside. He is now rubbing elbows with numerous celebrities, NHL hockey stars, politicians, BC Lions and others, all who have stood behind him in his efforts to raise awareness and funds to help children who have been sexually abused. “That’s the big message: if you have been sexually abused, get help early,” he said. Bhatti wishes he had. “If I can change, anyone can,” he said. “I realized, I can be the change. If you can be a voice to carry this message to even one child, then I have to try.” Bhatti has organized fundraisers along his ride, including one at a pub in Vernon. He will end his ride with a dinner gala at the Sheraton Wall Centre on July 20, with celebrity appearances, and entertainment by singer Stacey McKitrick. One of the speakers of the night will be the RCMP officer who tracked Bhatti down to tell him his abuser had been caught sexually assaulting two other kids. All proceeds from the $100 tickets to the gala are going to Sophie’s Place in Surrey, a safe place where children who have been sexually abused can come for help. “It’s an amazing organization with

really nice people running it,” said Bhatti. “But it’s expensive to run and they need money.” Since dedicating funds to Sophie’s Place, he has met with Sophie Simmons several times. Simmons is the daughter of KISS star Gene Simmons, who also was in a popular reality show about her family life. Sophie’s mom is a Canadian, and last week KISS donated $10,000 to the centre. To start the ride in Vernon is significant, because that’s where the man who sexually abused him, Joseph Douglas Baker, went to live after victimizing him. He went on to sexually abuse two other boys under the age of 10 when he went there. In 2008, Bhatti’s abuser pleaded guilty to nine counts of sexually assault and inviting sexual touching involving three children under the age of 14. In a Vernon court he was sentenced to three years in jail. He has been out of jail for a while.

Off-duty Vancouver policeman watches, reports hit-and-run MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

He doesn’t have a driver’s license, collided his car with a motorcycle while making an illegal U-turn, and then got his female passenger to take the wheel while he hid in the bushes. But little did this 48-year-old Alberta man know that off-duty Vancouver Police

Sgt. Mark Tonner saw the whole thing. It all took place on Wednesday, July 3, in what was to be the second hit-and-run incident of the day in Langley. Around 2:30 p.m., a motorcycle collided with a Pontiac Sunfire, whose driver was attempting to make a U-turn over a double solid line on Rawlison Crescent. The motorcycle and Pontiac were westbound on Rawlison. The motorcycle

operator said the Pontiac suddenly made a U-Turn and the collision was unavoidable, said police. The motorcycle collided with the front driver’s side quarter panel, causing the operator to lose control, and he ended up on his back. There was a significant amount of damage to his motorbike, said police. The biker wasn’t hurt, though. The driver of the vehicle was seen

switching places with a female passenger before he fled the vehicle. VPD’s Tonner, who wrote an op-ed column on policing in The Province newspaper for years, was in Langley and saw the whole thing. He followed the vehicle to 88 Avenue and Glover Road, while advising Langley RCMP of their locations. continued, PAGE 3

Acting mayor coming

BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

A bylaw to set out guidelines for governing the City of Langley in the absence of its mayor passed third reading in a unanimous vote on Monday night. Councillor Dave Hall, who had been quite vocal during the June 24 meeting about his disagreement with a decision not to hold a byelection following the departure of Mayor Peter Fassbender, explained that he voted in favour of the bylaw — which will see an acting mayor appointed until the next municipal elections are held in November, 2014 — because the alternative is to have a rotating schedule of deputy mayors in the chair. Changing mayors every six months until the next election, he said, could mean a lack of

consistency, a lack of expertise and perhaps even a lack of willingness to take on the role as a full-time position. Hall said the discussion around what would happen if the mayor’s chair was ever left vacant by, for example, a lengthy illness, began months ago and wasn’t directly related to Fassbender’s decision to run for MLA in Surrey-Fleetwood. Fassbender won the seat on May 14 and chaired his last Langley City council meeting on June 24. During his remarks, Hall also tried to introduce the topic of a question period during public meetings. However it was recommended that he address that issue separately at an upcoming meeting in order to avoid delaying the bylaw under discussion.

He later served a notice of motion that council adopt a question period as part of the agenda of public council meetings. Hall said the intention of the motion is to try to “further engage a public that is disengaged.” Hall noted they were only three members of the public in the council chambers to observe the meeting. If more people thought they could ask questions of council members, he suggested, there might be a better turnout. Fassbender has not resigned his position, but is on a leave of absence until January. He will then resign, and no byelection will be necessary. Deputy mayor Gayle Martin chaired the council meeting on Monday. Council has yet to select an acting mayor.

failing to remain at the scene of a collision, driving without a valid driver’s license and driving without due care and attention.

Suspect arrested after three separate driving incidents again, it did not stop and fled eastbound on 57 Avenue. A Langley officer en route to the call saw the damaged Civic on 57 Avenue. He was able to stop the vehicle and when he approached the driver, he took note of a strong odour of liquor. The officer began an investigation into impaired driving. Meanwhile, a third complaint of a hit and run was called into police. It took place prior to these crashes. In this case, the same driver of the Civic had struck a vehicle on Langley Bypass near

Glover Road. This victim was in his vehicle stopped, waiting for a train to cross when he was rear-ended by the Civic. The driver approached the suspect but left the scene because he was so aggressive, said police The driver was transported back to Langley detachment where he provided breath samples exceeding the legal limit of .08 mg. Thankfully, no one was injured in any of the collisions. Police will recommend impaired driving charges to Crown counsel.

Counterattack begins

Times Reporter

During the kick-off to the 2013 summer Counterattack campaign, Langley RCMP spent the first night of the long weekend (Friday, June 28) on Golden Ears Bridge, making sure drivers weren’t impaired. Police didn’t actually hand out too many impaired driving violations, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. Two 24-hour driving suspensions were handed out for drug impairment, two for failing a roadside sobriety test, one seizure of drugs, three prohibited drivers and only

one three-day vehicle impound for impairment. “The big numbers came for seatbelts and cellphones,” said Marks. More than 100 drug and alcohol impaired drivers were found across the Lower Mainland. “Those are bitte sweet results. It’s definitely frustrating knowing that people still drink or take drugs, and then get behind the wheel,” says Cpl. Robert McDonald of Lower Mainland Traffic Services. “On the other hand my fellow police officers take pride in knowing we may have prevented dozens of potential tragic long weekend crashes.”

The offending vehicle, a blue Honda Civic, did not stop and continued northbound on 208 Street, said police.

The sculpture had been placed in the Brookswood Water Park at 200 Street and 40 Avenue after spending the winter on display inside the Brookswood Shoppers Drug Mart. A commenter on The Times website questioned why a valuable work of art had been placed in a dimly lit park, however Dyer believes that shouldn’t matter. The park is a place where children gather, and the horse, painted with bright metallic, blue and turquoise swirls, was intended to delight them, she said. While Dyer would like the police to catch the people who did it, she said it isn’t to punish them, but to try to understand why they would want to destroy something that was meant to enhance the community. “It was put there for a

hours to complete and sponsors have paid up to $10,000 to have the horses placed in their community. “This senseless act of criminal behaviour makes me feel ill. I really can’t believe this has happened, as this was to benefit the whole community,” said Rosemary Wallace, LAC president. Another horse, which stands inside the lobby of City Hall on Douglas Crescent, was intended for display in nearby Linwood Park, but Wallace said she is now reconsidering that. “I guess it’s going to be on hold,” she said. “It’s kind of up in the air right now.” Several more of the sculptures are displayed outside the Langley Arts Council’s gallery space on Fraser Highway. Those are brought inside each night, for safekeeping, said Wallace. “The sad thing is, it’s something the public really enjoys,” she said, noting peo-

ple stop to take photos with the horses every day. “I know there are worse things in the world . . . but who would take the time to saw off a horse’s head?” The pieces of the damaged horse were gathered and taken to an auto body shop, where technicians who work with fibreglass will attempt to reattach the head and feet. After that, Dyer would like to see it returned to the Brookswood park. “I think we should put it back. It’s supposed to be for the children in the children’s park,” Dyer said. “I’m willing to get it there. I’m willing to paint and sand and do whatever.” A reward of $500 is being offered for information leading to the charge and arrest of the vandals. Anyone with information is asked to contact the arts council at 604-534-0781 or the Langley RCMP at 604534-3211.

If the owner of the mobile home park wants to redevelop it for condominiums, they would have to apply for permission from the Township, they

said. “Nothing is changing the zoning [right now],” said Ramin Seifi, the general manager of engineering and community development. “Nobody here is going to wipe you out,” Councillor Charlie Fox said.

At the close of the Monday night public hearing, Mayor Jack Froese said the Township will arrange an information meeting for the park residents and council members before the hearing resumes on July 22.

An image of stock car racers at Langley Speedway in its heyday is part of the Langley Speedway Historical Society’s collection. Metro Vancouver staff say the speedway should not be reopened in Campbell Valley Park.

Parks staff recommend against race track JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Stock car racing fans pushing to reopen a historic racetrack in Campbell Valley Regional Park may be nearly out of gas. A Metro Vancouver staff report recommends the regional district halt its study of a proposal from the Langley Speedway Historical Society and inform the group that racing won’t be allowed again in the park. The issue is slated to go to a vote of Metro’s environment and parks committee Thursday morning, where several delegations opposed to a revived racetrack in the park are to speak. The society has proposed racing at a restored speedway on a maximum of 14 days a

year, with the facility acting as a multi-purpose venue for other events as well — potentially acting as a money maker for the Metro parks department. Metro staff had previously opposed the concept but the politicians who sit on the committee voted 7-6 in May to at least study it further. The report says Campbell Valley Regional Park contains sensitive ecosystems that are home to various threatened species. “Species at risk such as redlegged frog, western toad, Pacific water shrew, great blue heron and American bittern are likely to inhabit the immediate area around the track,” it says. The report cautions that forging forward would consume more staff time at a cost

of other priorities and ring up possibly significant consulting costs to carry out an extensive feasibility assessment and public consultation. If directed to proceed, it says, the society would be approached to cover the “several hundred thousand dollars” of expected costs. Opening a speedway in the park would trigger external reviews by the Township of Langley and Agricultural Land Commission, and possibly provincial and federal environmental reviews, the report said. The old stock car racing oval closed in 1984. Equestrians and other neighbours and park users strongly oppose reviving the speedway, citing noise and other concerns.

THEY SAY

Use oval more often

A law that’s made a difference

etro Vancouver politicians will be once again discussing the former Langley Speedway property within Campbell Valley Regional Park at the parks committee meeting today (Thursday). The quarter-mile car race track has been closed for almost 30 years, which is actually longer than it was open. It operated from 1964 to 1984. While it was an important local landmark and many people enjoyed using the track or going to races as spectators, there aren’t too many good reasons to reopen it for limited car racing. Campbell Valley is a natural area and wildlife refuge, which has been preserved as an area for walking, horse riding, picnics and nature activities. However, it would be nice to see the natural oval that the speedway used put to much better use, and not just an idle curiosity that walkers stumble into. It would be a great location for more car shows, as Langley Speedway Historical Society has organized on occasion. It would also be an idyllic setting for some outdoor concerts and other similar activities, if such events were small enough so that there would be enough parking available. Alternatively, organizers could arrange parking at another area nearby and have shuttle buses take people to the speedway property, just off 208 Street. Metro Vancouver parks committee has been looking at ways to better utilize the oval and possibly gain some rental revenue. This is appropriate, as parks are for everyone, not simply equestrians or dog walkers. In addition, the regional body has limited funds available for park improvements and rental revenue would be most welcome. Campbell Valley is a jewel of a park, with some excellent scenery, abundant wildlife, historic landmarks and many miles of trails. It is popular with many people both in and outside Langley, and it deserves to be more fully utilized. While the history of Langley Speedway is important and efforts by the historical society to keep its memory alive should be encouraged, a car race track within the park doesn’t fit in very well with the other current uses of the park. Nor is there the parking infrastructure to allow for large events within the park. However, the park does need to be opened up to many more groups, including car enthusiasts. The oval needs to be utilized more fully and more rental revenue would be a good thing.

ften we hear people complaining about the justice system, how our laws are ineffective, lax or cumbersome. Often they are right. But sometimes a law comes along that really creates substantial change in society, and rightfully deserves recognition for helping to protect citizens of all stripes. Such is the case with B.C.’s drinking and driving legislation, which is among the toughest in the country. Statistics on the first 30 months of the province’s immediate roadside prohibition program indicate the drinking and driving death toll has been cut in half. That equates to 143 lives saved. Think of the ripple effects — that’s 143 families that have not been ripped apart by tragedy. That’s 286 parents who have not lost their son or daughter. That’s countless family and friends who are not in mourning. That’s 143 fewer impaired drivers that must wind their way, at taxpayers’ expense, through the justice system. Not only has the B.C. program proven successful in this province, results like these are making it harder for other jurisdictions to ignore. It’s pretty hard to reject a policy that has kept 143 additional people alive. Other Canadian provinces are now looking at similar laws, and would, hopefully, also see their impaired driving fatality rates cut in half. This confirms that more British Columbians are taking the law seriously and ensuring they are sober when behind the wheel. That’s real justice. — Salmon Arm Observer (Black Press)

Gouging, taxes start of dark road Editor: I drove to the Chevron station at the 10483 152 Street in Surrey, and purchased gas at $1.449 per litre. I drove to Walnut Grove past the Chevron at 20522 88 Avenue, which was no more than 10 minutes away. Yes, both charge the creative transit levy. The Langley station was selling the same grade of fuel for $1.329. This occurred on a Tuesday ( June 18). Of course, this happens every other day of the week. It’s only a matter of time before gasoline companies will be brought out into the light for the outright deception being forced on regular taxpaying Canadians — the easy targets for companies. These companies are enabled by politicians without will or backbone to confront the issue. Our politicians, no matter what party, unfortunately stand idly by while this happens.

The same is true for prescription pricing. I have found as much as 30 per cent difference in pricing in the same community at different pharmacies, for the same branded item. This could have something to do with the fact that this provides a lot of revenue, no matter what the consequences to the people they are supposed to represent. I am copying every politician I can think of with these comments. Starting now, I am going to work diligently to get these things changed. So my advice to company executives is take your bonuses while you can, because gouging will come to an end. And a note to any politician that has the heart to actually read this. I did a quick calculation and basically found that with the different levies, license fees, carbon tax (what a joke) increase, bridge tolls (going up on the Golden Ears,) whether

it be federal or provincial or local government, they have effectively taken $250 more after-tax dollars from us in the last three years. They all feed from the same pocket. Has any average Canadian stopped and looked at what this means to the many millions who work for minimum wage or are retired on a small fixed income? I am not worried about refugees and such, as we all know they get far more assistance than our own retired citizens. We are going down a dark road. Do we really want to end up like so many other countries, which are rapidly descending into what will become massive civil unrest? You may think it could not happen here. You had better take a look at the experiences from other countries closely, and wake up to reality. Philip Taylor, Langley

Editor: Over recent months, I have read much about the proposal to Metro Vancouver board to allow Langley Speedway to reopen. As a resident who has previously lived in the U.K. and seen how much larger tracks can co-exist with local communities, industry and wildlife, it’s a little surprising to see so much misinformation presented as fact. One of the main discussions has centred around how the equestrian community and wildlife will be affected by the reopening of this existing facility. At the Laguna Seca Track in California, horse riders come and watch the races. It is one of many tracks which co-exist with horses. Laguna Seca is also a home for horses, deer and even has a successful animal rescue centre opposite. Closer to home, Portland also has a bird

sanctuary, while the Detroit street circuit even has a zoo located inside its perimeter. Many tracks are also located within or close to national parks. Others are located in areas of natural beauty or preservation, including the famous Nurburgring in Germany and Castle Coombe in the U.K., which is adjacent to “the prettiest village in England.” All these tracks are significantly larger road courses than Langley. Most are in excess of three miles, compared to the Langley quarter-mile oval. The track at Langley takes up less than one per cent of the park, with two per cent with the parking areas included. The track would be in use for 14 out of the 365 days in a year. That is also significantly less than many other tracks. Noise pollution is another concern. I

noticed the opposition was using data from 35 years ago. I’m not aware of many studies which would use such old data. Cars and even circuit speaker systems have come along way in 35 years. Trees will also have grown massively in those decades providing a natural wall for noise. Cars have to meet circuit sound levels around the world. This really is a non-issue. Reopening the track would help our local economy and community in these tough times. It would bring different types of horsepower together and provide an exciting activity which families can come and watch. Horse riding is for the select few who can afford the costs attributed to this. Langley Speedway would allow all the community to enjoy the park. Andrew Blackmore, Langley

Horses and car racing can easily co-exist

No water and no fun allowed in Aldergrove Editor: The Al Anderson Memorial Pool in Langley City is a place where they have a lot of fun in the summer months. Apparently they have lots of water. This is all the more reason to not compare the need for a pool in Aldergrove with the City of Langley. At least they have a pool. Do people actually believe that members of the community of Aldergrove should have to hike their butts down the road and financially support the City of Langley? The lake that we used to have, in AlderThe

grove Lake Park (a huge tourist draw) was allowed to deteriorate by our elected members of council. By the way, this park should now be renamed, as it no longer has a lake. At least those who live in Langley City and anywhere west of 248 Street can have a pool in their yard (which they can fill, and refill if necessary if they choose not to use their local community pool. In Aldergrove, we don’t have that option between July 1 and Sept. 30. We can’t wash our cars, but we can wash our car

mirrors and licence plates. It’s for safety, don’t you know. We can’t water our lawns (brown is good) and we can only water our gardens by hand. Now we would like to have a pool, which would properly service the local community, and the council is trying once again to shaft residents of Aldergrove. All I can say is watch out, come the next municipal election. D. Atkinson, Aldergrove

SELF ABOVE ALL Editor: I find it very disconcerning that former Langley City mayor Peter Fassbender has left us two options: No mayor until November 2014, or a byelection costing up to $100,000. If a community does not need a mayor for one-third of their term, what value is a mayor? Too many elected community officials bail on their term to advance their careers, thus engaging more in self-service than public service. They leave behind a whopping byelection fee or a vacated seat. Why don’t these people complete their commitment and seek a new position on their own time and money? How much time and salary was paid by Langley City to Fassbender to seek a new lifestyle for himself, and in another community. Be warned Surrey-Fleetwood, there is a pickpocket in your town. Leonard J. Bergquist, Langley

CITY IS LIVEABLE

Editor: Langley City is not turning out as “The Place to Be” for newcomer John Woodford and his wife. I am sorry for what they have endured since moving to Langley City. I have lived here for 25 years, and feel it is a nice, comfortable small community atmosphere. Having said that, I also know these crimes happen everywhere. No one should feel afraid, especially in their homes. Taxpayers all pay the salaries of the RCMP in our community. I know we paid $845 in taxes this coming year for policing. It increases every year. I believe if these crimes are happening, go to the City hall and talk to any councillor with your concerns. Better yet,write a letter to all the councillors, then there is a paper trail. Also go up to the RCMP detachment and ask to speak to someone with your concerns. Welcome to Langley and don’t be afraid to follow up with your concerns. Someone will listen and also want to see changes for the good. Wendy Minar, Langley City

Surrey Memorial Water line project along 216 St. halted Hospital DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

WorkSafe BC has ordered a halt to construction of the 216 Street leg of a $33.5 million Langley Township project to bring Metro Vancouver water to Aldergrove and Gloucester. Langley Township general manager of engineering and community development Ramin Seifi said work on the pipeline was shut down by the provincial workplace safety regulator on June 21 because of a disagreement over the contractor’s plans to have people work inside the three-foot diameter pipe. Seifi was responding to a question by Councillor David Davis at the Monday afternoon meeting of council. In response to a question from Councillor Kim Richter, Seifi estimated the setback will delay completion of the 216 Street section about four to six weeks, but should not affect the overall project because work on other aspects is continuing. “They’re just not laying any pipe,” he said. In an email response to a followup query by The Times, Township water resources and environment manager Kevin Larsen said the stop work order “could not necessarily have been anticipated in our opinion.” “It is our understanding that past

industry practice (design and construction of this type) has been similar to our project,” Larsen added. “The project team was notified by WorkSafe BC that this project was selected for further scrutiny than other past projects of a similar nature.” The contractor, Pedre Contractors Ltd. of Langley, did not respond to a Times request for comment. About two kilometres of a sevenkilometre stretch of pipe had been installed at the time of the stop work order. The WorkSafe inspection report that led to the order said the contractor “has not prepared and effectively implemented a confined space entry program at this jobsite,” calling the written safety procedures “lacking in detail for each work activity and very difficult to read and confusing.” The “pipeline was not effectively ventilated,” the report said. WorkSafe inspectors wanted an increase in the number of manholes “for the purpose of ventilation, respiratory protection, rescue and etc.” while Pedre argued the extra hatches would breach the pipe warranty, slow the speed of construction and “will increase the chance of bacterial contamination” of the drinking water. The East Langley Water Supply project is the biggest project ever continued, PAGE 14

I have been to Italy, the country that invented gelato, but I have never tasted gelato so rich and delicious as what is made —by hand, using milk from Langley goats — at Milner Valley Cheese. The five flavours, including mango, hazelnut and chocolate, are only available for summer and it is something new to the delightful cheese shop. This is just one amazing discovery among a wonderful and delicious myriad of farm-gate delights and surprises offered at this year’s Langley Circle Farm Tour. I also learned that that the cucumbers on my Subway sandwiches were grown in Langley at Darvonda Nurseries at Milner Village Garden Centre. Travelling along the scenic back roads of Langley, residents and visitors alike have an opportunity to discover the quality products our farmers are producing while getting to know the families working these pastoral paradises.

Zoo says goodbye to Charlie

The Greater Vancouver Zoo lost its oldest animals on Tuesday. Charlie, the Southern white rhinoceros, was euthanized after he was struggling to eat and drink.

“It is with an extremely heavy heart that I say goodbye to my very dear friend, Charlie. I feel immensely privileged to have known you for the past decade and a half, and feel profoundly depressed that so few will ever experience the same intense relationship we had,” said Burton about Charlie. Charlie had a special connection with many people over the years, and no words can truly express how you feel when you lose such a dear member of your family, said Zoo staff. Last November, Jafari, the zoo’s oldest giraffe died at 12-years-old. The cause isn’t really known. Since then, the zoo has added cougars and two Siberian tigers.

He did it Sam’s Way Young runner’s determination to finish his race an inspiration for all who witnessed it MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

School is officially out for summer but something that took place just before it ended, involving an Aldergrove Community Secondary student, brought one teacher to tears and it was too big a moment not to share, said Brookswood teacher Dino Camparmo.

ACSS Grade 12 student Sam Way inspired hundreds, including fellow students, his principal and family, by refusing to give up, finishing a 400m run despite falling down several times. Way was participating in Operation Trackshoes in June, with the Langley team made up of students from Aldergrove, Brookswood, D.W. Poppy and Walnut Grove.

Operation Trackshoes is an annual provincial sports festival for people with developmental disabilities. Camparmo is the co-ordinator for the Langley team and has been helping at this event for more than five years. “Most of us would find running one lap around the track difficult. Try running 400m with a splint on your leg. If that isn’t enough, trying running 400m with gross motor control issues. continued, PAGE 16

Human spirit shines in Sam’s will to compete, teammates’ compassion from PAGE 15

“This did not stop Sam today,” wrote Camparmo in a letter to the school district. “He started off the race strong, but fatigue settled in near the 300m mark. Sam lost his balance and fell to the track. Two things happened that moment that showed the power of the human spirit: First, I was inspired by Sam’s will to compete. . . Sam got back on his feet, only to stumble again on to the track. But this was not going to stop him….he was going to finish the race and he did,” wrote Camparmo. “Secondly, I was amazed by the compassion and kindness of Sam’s teammates. “When they saw Sam lose his balance, several of them got up and ran to assist

him. . . They were beside Sam for each of his next falls…helping him back up, running, cheering and clapping until he crossed the finish line. John Sam finished last in the race, however his determination to finish and his teammates’ compassion will always be first in my mind.” ACSS principal John Pusic said he isn’t surprised to hear of Sam’s determination. “He is an inspiration to us all. He has such a positive attitude and never quits,” said Pusic. Way came to high school in a wheelchair. He was

When he graduated, he walked across the stage to get his diploma. “Several of us still have that picture framed and in our office,” he said.

The cost overrun traces back mainly to the shortage of high-skill labour such as geotechnical engineering that the remote region already faces.

putting off the Ruskin and John Hart upgrades (again) to keep rates low through the election, and saw the B.C. Utilities Commission jack up the rate increase to seven per cent to help slow the ballooning debt. What’s ahead for rates? The utility is looking for 32 per cent in the next three years, says energy lawyer David Austin. He calculates that only 2.5 per cent is attributable to increased private power costs. Among other things, BC Hydro needs regional emergency centres capable of functioning after a Japan-sized

quake, plus expansion. Bennett came clean on another reason for rate increases — the government’s increasing dependence on taking a “dividend” as BC Hydro’s lone “shareholder.” The newly updated budget tells us this annual “dividend” is past $500 million and rising fast: $545 million this year, $611 million next year and $684 million the year after. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

ments to the vast hydroelectric network and pay debt on works already completed or underway. NDP critics focused Thursday on a disaster preparedness audit commissioned by BC Hydro last year. The PricewaterhouseCoopers audit reported in December that BC Hydro is at high risk of a prolonged power outage after a major earthquake because of a lack of coordinated emergency plans.

“BC Hydro is not adequately prepared to react, respond and recover from a widespread catastrophic event such as an earthquake as there is not a mature or integrated preparedness program,” the audit states. Bennett said BC Hydro has enough staff to improve disaster planning, so that shouldn’t represent a big cost. On that point at least, NDP energy critic John Horgan agreed.

Critter Care loses bobcat to cancer MONIQUE TAMMINGA

Times Reporter

Hoover, the bobcat, ambassador for Langley’s Critter Care Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, has died. “I’ve raised her since she was a tiny kitten,” said Critter Care founder Gail Martin. On June 27, Martin had her put down, after she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of bone cancer just weeks before. Martin had been taking her in for X-rays after she developed a limp. “It was very difficult. I’m finding it hard to go out to her enclosure and people around here are feeling pretty sad,” she said. Bobcats can live up to 30 years in captivity.

Hoover the bobcat was popular with visitors to Critter Care Wildlife Centre. The cat died on June 27 after being diagnosed with bone cancer.

Hoover came to Critter Care in 2000 when she was eight weeks old. A woman in Whistler found her and had been keeping her as a pet for six

weeks. Feeding her cat food, which is not the diet of a bobcat, Hoover came into Critter Care underweight and malnourished. “She was at death’s door,” Martin remembers. But with round the clock care by Martin, Hoover pulled through. Martin tried to rehabilitate her back to the wild but despite her efforts, Hoover couldn’t survive on her own. So she came to live in a very large, heavily-vegetated enclosure at Critter Care where she became the face of the wildlife rehab centre. The loss comes just before Critter Care’s annual open houses on July 13 and 14. It’s the only time of the year the public is welcome to come take tours and see fawns, coyote, otter, baby raccoons, and more.

Vacationing in style at The Cottages at Osoyoos Lake The hot summer weather has finally arrived, and it’s officially time to get away on a long-awaited vacation. What better place to relax with the family than at your own lakeside cottage in sunny Osoyoos? “You might get only an inch of rain a month here,” says Eric Van Maren, partner of Van Maren Construction Group. The company is currently selling the Cottages at Osoyoos Lake, a gorgeous waterfront property with 284 cottages, tons of amenities and a close proximity to everything Osoyoos has to

offer. A wide range of people have been interested, but Van Maren notes that something did surprise him. “Many of our buyers are retired or planning to be retired,” Van Maren says, chalking that up to “Osoyoos is a more relaxed pace of life.” Many of these buyers are looking to live in their cottage fulltime, a serious possibility when the homes range from 1,281 to over 3,000 square feet with two to four bedrooms. With 14

different floorplans to choose from, it won’t be hard to find the perfect space. “I think the number of retired buyers speaks to the amenities that are available here,” Van Maren says. “These are detached homes for the price of condos.” You’ll also get access to two swimming pools, a 7,000-square-foot clubhouse and 20 acres of lawn, on top of the 1,500 feet of waterfront and 500 feet of beach. Buyers with families are also a big demographic at the cottages. Van Maren says the project is perfect for children, who can play on the beach or on the lawn and make friends with other cottage-goers. The location is definitely the biggest draw for those who want a taste of waterfront living without a high price point. “This is the warmest lake in British Columbia,” says Van Maren, adding that Osoyoos is also the wine capital of B.C. and has several golf course within 10 to 15 kilometres of the project. For more information about the Cottages at Osoyoos, visit www.osoyooscottages.com or call 1-855-742-5555.

MThree hits a summit in Coquitlam By Kerry Vital

Cressey is rising above the rest with MThree, Coquitlam’s tallest tower at 48 storeys and the final phase in their very popular Metropolitan Series. “The response has been phenomenal,” says Cressey Senior Development Manager Jason Turcotte. “We have a variety of homes to choose from, and people are loving the amenities and the finishings.”

MThree joins MOne and MTwo, which raised the bar for condominiums in the neighbourhood. “Each project has added pieces to the puzzle,” Turcotte says. “The feedback has been great, and I think it’s really helped buyers to physically see what we’re offering here.” Like all Cressey projects, one of the most amazing features at MThree is also one of the main gathering areas in the home. “We take a lot of pride in our CresseyKitchens,” Turcotte says. “The kitchen design at the presentation centre is in virtually every home in the project. People love being able to touch and feel the kitchen they will actually have in their home.” The kitchens at MThree include woodgrained laminate cabinetry, modern undercabinet lighting and sleek quartz composite countertops, complemented by a glass tile backsplash and integrated European

The ensuite bathroom also includes a limestone countertop, while the main bathroom features marble countertops. There are a variety of floorplans available, ranging from over 600 square feet to more than 1,000 square feet in the penthouse homes.

Tips for making great summer memories without financial headaches With summer vacation season underway, many families are preparing for their next trip and making plans to maximize their time off. Laura Egan, assistant branch manager at Envision Financial shared some insights on how people can make great summer memories without having to deal with financial headaches and bills in the fall. Hang on to those receipts for your children’s art and rec programs “While your kids are splashing about during swim lessons, you

could be earning important tax credits,” explained Egan. “In the past few years, the Government of Canada has introduced and grown the types of programs eligible for credit come next tax filings. From recreation programs to the arts, hold on to your kids’ program receipts and share them with your tax advisor for consideration when filing.” Go debit card, not credit card “For many families, credit cards provide a quick and easy way to finance a summer vacation. But be very careful

— unless you are able to pay off the full amount when your statement is due, the interest charged could cripple you financially,” warned Egan. “Ideally, you’ll save up for your vacation beforehand, but if you need to borrow funds to help pay for your vacation, there are alternatives like a personal line of credit that allow people to borrow at a lower interest rate than credit cards, which can soar as high as 20 to 25 per cent.” Got your travel insurance? “Nothing will break the bank faster than having an unexpected

medical emergency outside the country — and even outside the province,” sharef Egan. “We’ve all heard the horror stories of travelers owing thousands of dollars in medical bills when travelling to places like the U.S. or Mexico, but what many people don’t know is that there are limitations on what is covered even when travelling within Canada. I always advise people to play it safe and look into additional travel insurance because it’s better to be over prepared than not.” There’s no time like the

present to start saving for next year “One of the best ways to not break the bank is to ensure you’ve saved up for your vacation in advance,” said Egan. “One of the easiest ways to do this is to set up a savings account specifically for a vacation fund. People can set it up so that a certain amount from each pay cheque is automatically transferred into this account. When it comes time to take your vacation next year, you’ll have a solid lump sum saved up already.”

Magnusson ready for Games’ big stage GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Stage fright should not be an issue for Christine Magnusson. After all, Magnusson is quite comfortable conversing with other athletes, or spreading the word as a volunteer for Special Olympics BC. Both are roles she loves. Magnusson is competing in her third Special Olympics BC Games, which kick off tonight (Thursday) at the Langley Events Centre with the opening ceremonies. She will then compete this weekend in bocce ball. It will be her second Summer Games, having also competed at the 2009 Abbotsford competition. She also did the 2011 Winter Games out at UBC. “I remember walking into the stadium and it was full,” she described of previous opening ceremonies. “And it was a lot of fun.” The 37-year-old began competing about 10 years ago on the recommendation of her

friend Nicole. And for Magnusson, the competition is secondary. “I just love the people,” she explained. “And you get to meet so many new people from around the province.” Magnusson makes sure she attends every Special Olympics function she can, whether it be competing in one of her five events — in addition to bocce, she does soccer, basketball, floor hockey and softball — handing out pamphlets on behalf of Special Olympics, or doing bottle drives. All of this fits right into her personality, explained her grandmother, Doreen Heagle. Magnusson, who graduated from Semiahmoo Secondary in 1994, has lived with her grandparents Doreen and Richard for the past number of years. “She is just very social,” Heagle said. “She goes to anything involving Special Olympics, the parade, handing out materials. “She does everything they ask her to,” Heagle added. “And she just loves it all.”

Being involved with Special Olympics allows Magnusson an outlet to connect with others, something she loves to do. “She has to have this,” Heagle explained. “Christine didn’t have a job for awhile (and) she has to be with people. “She goes to anything where she can chat with people.” As a child, Magnusson struggled with concentration and while that is now under control, her grandmother said there has never been a medical diagnosis nor any health concerns. She is also actively involved with her church, Brookswood Baptist. Magnusson also works in the office at a local moving and storage company. And as for her passion for Special Olympics, Magnusson knows the organization has opened plenty of doors for her, such as meeting politicians. And for that, she thanks all the coaches and volunteers who help provide the athletes these opportunities.

Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times

Christine Magnusson, who will compete in bocce ball at the Special Olympics BC Summer Games this weekend in Langley, has been involved with the organization for 10 years as both an athlete and a volunteer.

‘Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt’ GARY AHUJA Times Sports

More than 2,500 people — which includes 1,100 athletes, 300 coaches and an amazing 1,200 volunteers — are set for the start of the 2013 Special Olympics BC Summer Games in Langley. “Langley truly responded to the call for volunteers to help make the Games an incredible experience for everyone,” said Megan Grittani-Livingston, the manager of communications for Special Olympics BC. Special Olympics BC started out with

two weekends of games and about 500 participants back in 1980. And since that time, it has morphed into year-round, high quality sports programs and competitions for more than 4,100 athletes in 55 communities around the province. They are done so with the assistance of more than 3,200 trained and dedicated volunteers. The athletes’ compete under the oath of ‘Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.’ The 2013 SOBC Summer Games begin tonight (Thursday) with the opening

Grunts golden to end season Ball hockey team caps off perfect season with gold at provincials GARY AHUJA Times Sports

The coaching staff knew they had something special even before the season began. After calling for some voluntary extra practices during spring break, they were surprised at the turnout from the players.

“Our scrimmages were fastpaced and intense,” said Grunts coach Brad Moore. “(And) overall, we had a team that loved coming to the rink and really got along well. “Our dressing room was lively and had a very fun atmosphere.” What wasn’t fun was the teams that had to face the Grunts. The Grunts went 16-0 during the regular season and then won another six games to capture the Valley Ball Hockey Association minor division title. That included a dramatic comefrom-behind last-second victory in the VBHA finals against the Black Attack, when the Grunts

scored twice in the final five minutes for the 3-2 win. That victory advanced the team to the B.C. provincial championships, which ran June 28 to July 1 at North Delta’s Sungod Arena. And the Grunts capped off their perfect season, going 5-0, including a 7-2 win over Victoria in the semifinals and then 4-1 over Richmond in the championship game. Altogether, the team was a perfect 27-0. “We were fortunate to draft a very good goalie, had a solid defence and some very skilled forwards,” Moore said.

after winning the Valley Ball Hockey Association title, were competing at North Delta’s Sungod Arena over the Canada Day long weekend. They captured the silver medal after losing 3-2 in overtime to Tri-City. In that game, the Lightning surrendered a 2-0 advantage. It was a 180 degree turn from the previous game where the Lightning were the team erasing a 2-0 deficit to Delta, scoring the tying goal with 5.8 seconds to play and then winning it in double overtime. “We were ecstatic just to get as far as we did,” said coach Darryl Power. “There were some teary eyes on the floor when the other team scored, but all in all, it was a pretty good run.” “Start of the year, the goal was to have fun through the season — the usual goal — try to win a few games and see what happens from there,” Power said. But fairly early on, it was obvious the team had talent, and most importantly, depth, for the grind of the season. The Lightning were 12-2-2 during the regular season before catching fire in the playoffs, outscoring the opposition 23-6. They earned the team the right to advance to provincials

where they placed second in the pool with a 2-1 record. The lone loss came at the hands of Tri-City. They then upset Delta in the semifinals to get another crack at Tri-City. ••••• After finishing fourth in league play during the regular season, the Valley Ball Hockey Association’s Mighty Mites went on an impressive postseason run which culminated with the bronze medal. The major division ball hockey team was competing last week at the provincial championships, which were held at North Delta’s Sungod Arena. The Mighty Mites, who went 1-1-1 in pool play, edged Ridge Meadows 2-1 in the bronze medal game. They had lost 5-3 to Richmond in the semifinals. The Mighty Mites won six of their nine playoffs games (6-21) — which includes provincial — after going 7-5-4 during the VBHA regular season. ••••• Two other VBHA teams placed fourth in their respective divisions at the provincial championships. The peanut division Silver Bullets fell 5-0 in the third-place game to Tri-City while the junior Mimics lost 4-2 to Richmond in their bronze medal game.

While he is not competing at the 2013 Special Olympics BC Summer Games this weekend in Langley, Johnson Lu hopes to do so one day down the road. “He is quite competitive,” said Lu’s mother, Ros Rodger. “And he is a very social, so Special Olympics is a great fit for him.” Lu, who turns 16 in September, is Rodger’s foster child. He came to the family as a two-week old. With mild autism, attention deficit

disorder, asthma and seizures — which are controlled by medication — Special Olympics is the perfect fit for the active and athletic Lu. He joined the Special Olympics program about five years ago, with

bowling as his introductory sport. Lu has since added ball hockey, golfing and basketball. For Lu, competing is a way of “meeting new people and learning from them,” he said, adding that the games are always a lot of fun. Rodger said she noticed a change in her son when he began the program.

“I think it is good for his self-esteem,” she said. “And considering his disabilities, he is quite athletic and does reasonably well.” Lu, who enters Grade 11 at D.W. Poppy Secondary in September, is also actively involved with Operation Trackshoes, an annual provincial

sports festival for high school students with developmental disabilities. Lu also loves cars, attending car shows every year with his dad. “Ever since he was five, it was cars, cars, cars,” said Rodger with a laugh. He also earns extra money by cleaning and detailing people’s vehicles.

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help. Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

Trio off to worlds Three from Langley representing Canada

A trio of local athletes with plenty of international experience are getting another chance to compete on the global stage. Braedon Dolfo and Dustin Walsh, as well as Walsh’s guide runner Dylan Williamson, have been named to Canada’s world championship team. The three are also part of the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club, and Dolfo and Williamson also compete with the Trinity Western Spartans track and field team. All three were at the 2012 Summer Paralympic Games in London. They qualified by achieving the necessary standards and top-three placings at the 2013 Canadian track and field championships, which were held in Moncton, N.B. last month. They will compete at the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) world championships, which run July 20 to 29 in Lyon, France. ••••• A pair of Langley Mustangs Track

and Field athletes took a step towards their goal of representing Canada at the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) wold championships. Competing at the Canadian track and field championships in Moncton, N.B. They were held June 20 to 23. Kyle Nielsen successfully defended his Canadian title in the javelin with a winning throw of 46.23m to beat out former Olympian Curtis Moss. And in the long jump, Robbie Gallaugher set not only a personal best, but a Mustangs club record with a leap of 7.62m. That was good enough to earn himself a bronze medal. Both athletes have achieved a top three placing in their respective events but still need to reach the necessary standard in order to qualify for the world championships, which will be held Aug. 10 to 18 in Moscow, Russia. They have until July 29 to do so. “Stoked on the win, but the icing on the cake would be a standard for worlds,” Nielsen said. “I know it’s there…. just a matter of everything coming together at the right time.”

Canada has called for Jack Kosterman. The 14-year-old from Fort Langley has made the final cut and was among the 12 players named to Canada’s entry for the 2013 world junior wheelchair basketball championships. They will take place Sept. 5 to Sept. 15 in Adana, Turkey. Kosterman was named to the team on July 3, following a weeklong camp Team Canada selection camp in Toronto. Another Langley player, Justin

Johnson, was among the 17 invitees for the camp. “I am particularly excited by the depth of our juniors across the country with athletes representing seven provinces and territories from coast to coast. Through continued hard work these young men will make an ongoing impact within our national team program for years to come,” said Wheelchair Basketball Canada high performance director Paul Zachau. The newly assembled team will train from July 22 to Aug. 9. Canada will be competing with Australia, Germany, Great Britain, Iran, Italy, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, Sweden and the host Turkish teams.

There will be a memorial service held at 2:00pm on Tuesday July 16th, at the Aldergrove Alliance Church, 26291 28 Avenue, Aldergrove, BC. Reception to follow.
