A glider crash-landed on the roof of a Langley City convenience store Sunday morning. No serious injuries were reported. Langley City fire rescue said the crash occurred around 10 a.m. when the glider slammed into some trees and ended up on the roof of the store at 208 Street and 56 Avenue. The store was open at the time. The pilot, who suffered what were described as minor injuries, had to be extricated by rescue workers and was transported to hospital. It took about an hour to get him out of the aircraft. The glider nose wheel knocked a hole in the roof of the second storey of the store, the residence of the store owners. City of Langley inspectors were to conduct an assessment of the structural damage. No occupant of the store was injured. The pilot was an air cadet, and was on his way to a landing at the Langley Airport. A spokesman for the Air Cadets said he was an experienced pilot. The incident is being investigated by Transport Canada.
Guilty plea in armoured truck guard killings Travis Baumgartner was arrested at Aldergrove border crossing two days after triple homicide in Edmonton MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
The Edmonton man accused of killing three armoured guards and critically injuring another pleaded guilty in court in Alberta on Monday. Travis Baumgartner, 22, shot four of his co-workers who were putting cash into an ATM machine at

the University of Alberta in Edmonton on June 15, 2012. He was arrested two days later, trying to cross the border at Aldergrove. Baumgartner was initially charged with three counts of first degree murder, one count of attempted murder and four counts of robbery with a firearm. He pleaded guilty to one count of first degree mur-
der, two counts of second degree murder and one count of attempted murder. An intensive manhunt was underway in Edmonton after the shootings. Police announced that he was the prime suspect in the murders. The murders took place early on a Friday morning, and Baumgartner drove to B.C. and was arrested

on Saturday evening after attempting to cross the border into the U.S. at the Aldergrove/Lynden crossing. He was initially taken into custody by Langley RCMP, before being moved to Alberta. Edmonton Police arrived in Langley to do a thorough search of Baumgartner’s truck and to interview him.
Baumgartner apparently had $330,000 cash with him when he was arrested. U.S. Customs and Border Protection were alerted to Baumgartner when the licence plate reader found that the plate on his truck, which was his mother’s plate, didn’t match the truck ownership. Baumgartner has not yet been sentenced.

Jepsen hacker: house arrest, maybe Son of longtime Langley Township councillor to be sentenced on Sept. 13 for online harassment of pop star VIKKI HOPES AND MONIQUE TAMMINGA Black Press
The former boyfriend of Carly Rae Jepsen said he and the pop superstar lived in fear when they discovered that someone had hacked her email and social media accounts and gained access to materials that included two “highly personal” photos. “It was scary. It was really scary,” said Jordi Ashworth of the incidents that occurred in early 2012. Ashworth was present at Abbotsford provincial court on Friday, when the sentencing hearing was held for Christopher David Long, 25. Long is the son of long-time Township councillor Bob Long. Now living in Abbotsford, Long went to Aldergrove Community Secondary School. Bob Long is standing behind his son. “We all make mistakes and I know that Chris is extremely regretful for what has occurred,” said Long in a statement to The Times. “He gave a sincere apology in the courtroom and his family are committed to love him, stand by him and support him as he grows through this difficult time in his life.” Long pleaded guilty in May of this year to possession of stolen property and mischief to data. At Friday’s hearing, Crown counsel Rob Macgowan recommended Long serve a fourmonth conditional sentence (house arrest) followed by one year probation.
Defence lawyer Martin Finch asked Judge Jill Rounthwaite to consider a conditional discharge. Rounthwaite has reserved her decision until Friday, Sept. 13. At the time of the offences, Jepsen and Ashworth were living together in Vancouver. Ashworth, who often monitored Jepsen’s social media and email accounts at her request, discovered that some of the passwords had been changed in early March 2012. Vulgar postings were made on Jepsen’s Facebook and Instagram accounts. On March 22, Jepsen, who was on tour, discovered she could no longer make or receive calls on her cellphone, and she received a series of calls from a blocked number. The worried couple reported the issues to the Vancouver Police Department, which launched a four-month investigation. This included Ashworth communicating via email with the then-unknown hacker. In one exchange, the hacker wrote, “Stop trying to take this account back. I am extremely capable of doing many things so leave it at that.” Police identified a suspect in July after fake online images and a phony sex tape were released online. Police were able to trace the sender’s IP address to Long’s residence in Abbotsford. He then confessed to police. It was determined that Long registered an email account that had previously been used by Jepsen but was inactive. He then used that account

The former boyfriend of pop star Carly Rae Jepsen told Abbotsford provincial court that the couple lived in fear after discovering the singer’s email and social media accounts had been hacked. Christopher David Long confessed to police that he had accessed and made changes to Jepsen’s accounts. to gain access to her current email and password, which led to him accessing the passwords to her social media sites, including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
Long downloaded material from Jepsen’s email account that included her recording contract, tour schedule, two song recordings and several photos, including two between her and
Ashworth that were of a “sensitive and highly personal nature,” according to Macgowan. Long, using a newly created email account and an alias, then sent the two photos to TMZ — a celebrity gossip website and television series — suggesting possibly selling them. He also contacted a phone company to have Jepsen’s cellphone number changed. Macgowan said Jepsen and Ashworth lived in fear because they did not know whether the hacker intended to harm them or to damage Jepsen’s career. “(The) sense of violation and invasion of privacy … cannot be understated, (sic)” Macgowan said. Finch acknowledged that this client exercised poor judgment in his actions, and said they arose “out of stupid high jinks among friends.” A big-screen TV with a computer attached is located in Long’s residence, and the initial hacking was done with friends present, Finch said. He said Long, a sales manager at a car dealership, got caught up in the “prank” and the fascination of dealing with a celebrity. He referenced letters of support from family and colleagues who described Long as “dependable with positive leadership skills,” someone with a “high degree of integrity and ambition,” and “extremely intelligent and willing to help others.” In a statement in the court, Long addressed Ashworth. “I would like to apologize in the most profound way I can express for any harm and embarrassment I may have caused you and Ms. Jepsen,” he said. Jepsen, originally from Mission, is a former Canadian Idol finalist who was propelled to international stardom with her hit song Call Me Maybe.
Skateboarder struck by car is expected to recover MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
A 13-year-old boy who rode through a red light and was hit by a car at the intersection of 202 Street and 64 Avenue on Sunday is improving and should
recover, confirm police. Langley RCMP said a preliminary investigation suggests the victim was riding a skateboard and crossed south through the intersection, running the light and getting hit by the eastbound car, which was going through on a green
light. The teen wasn’t wearing a helmet. The driver stayed on scene following the crash, which took place around 1 p.m. The victim was airlifted to hospital for treatment of what was originally thought to be life-threatening injuries.
He has head injuries but it appears he is going to be OK, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. Anyone who witnessed the collision and has not yet spoken to police, is asked to contact Langley RCMP at 604532-3200.

NEW FLIGHTS! Alleged gun smuggler arrested in Langley
MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
An alleged gun smuggler with gang ties was arrested in Langley trying to sell a semiautomatic rifle to an undercover police officer on 200 Street on Aug. 29. Tyler Ryan Cuff, 30, of Osoyoos, has been charged with two counts of unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm, one count each of careless use of a firearm contravening storage regulations and firearms trafficking. He has been released from custody and will appear on Sept. 13 in Surrey Provincial Court. The man, who has no criminal record and was not previously known to police, was arrested on Aug. 29 without incident near the intersection of 200 Street and 88 Avenue after
border crossing. Through the course of the investigation, evidence was gathered regarding the alleged gun smuggling and it was further uncovered that possibly dozens of guns, believed to be mostly Glock handguns, were being sold to various gang-related groups both in the Okanagan and Lower Mainland. The investigation is ongoing and CFSEU-BC is currently examining whether any firearms that Cuff is alleged to have smuggled and sold have any connections to any other police investigations, how many firearms may have been brought into Canada, and how many guns may have been sold and to whom. “We all know that guns in the hands of gangsters put everyone at risk,” says CFSEUBC spokesperson Sgt. Lindsey Houghton.
allegedly selling an undercover police officer a semi-automatic assault-style Norinco MAK-90 rifle and several steroid kits. The arrest is the result of an investigation that began with a tip in May that a 30-year-old man, who happened to be a dual Canadian/U.S. citizen, was possibly smuggling firearms from Washington State into B.C. The Combined Special Forces Unit of B.C. began an undercover investigation, dubbed Project E-Passkey, after it was learned that the man was living in Osoyoos. Investigators determined he was allegedly using his dual citizen status to legally purchase firearms at various Washington State gun shows. It is believed that the man used a truck and a car to smuggle the guns through the Oroville, Washington/Osoyoos

These new changes will better reflect the interests of Langley than the original proposal.” He also said he plans to run in the 2015 election in Langley-Aldergrove. “I would like to thank the members of the Electoral Boundaries Commission for their work,” said Warawa. “This was a long, complex process, involving several overlapping districts, and they listened carefully to our recommendations.” The new boundaries take effect in the next federal election in 2015.

Langley is being split, for federal election purposes. The final decision on federal electoral boundaries for the next 10 years was announced Aug. 21 by the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for B.C. The province gains six new seats in the House of Commons under redistribution, with one of those seats the new Cloverdale-Langley City riding. It combines Langley City and a sliver of the Township with Cloverdale and a portion of Surrey as far west as 144 Street. Several potential candidates in the riding have already emerged. Langley MP Mark Warawa and many Langley residents had wanted Langley to remain as a single riding, which included both the City and Township.
However, the commission concluded that the population of the riding was too high. The new Cloverdale-Langley City riding will include Langley City and the portion of the Township west of 200 Street, north from the City boundary to Highway 1. The Langley-Aldergrove riding will include all the rest of the Township and a portion of Abbotsford west of Bradner Road (north of Highway 1), and west of Mount Lehman Road, south of Highway 1. Warawa had asked the House of Commons Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs (PROC) in March to include all of the Township in the Langley-Aldergrove riding. While the committee agreed, the commission had the final word, and did not go along with all of his request. He expressed satisfaction with the final report, saying

Many crowd-pleasers at this year’s Cruise-In MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
More than 70,000 people took in the Langley Good Times Cruise-In show and shine on Saturday. A total of 910 classic, speciality and muscle cars were displayed at the show. Cruise-In president Eric Taylor blames Mother Nature for fewer people registering their cars this year. “We just couldn’t get good weather for the whole week which kept some people away,” he said. But despite fewer cars, Taylor expects the show will bring in even more money for the charities than it did last year. The money is in the bank but totals weren’t ready to be released yet. Overall, Taylor said he is “pleased as punch,” for how Langley’s biggest event went off in Langley City. “We had a fantastic group of volunteers and everything seemed to
work well,” said Taylor. A highlight at this year’s show was the Cossack Drill team from Seattle. They performed their “nine guys riding two motorcycles” act to the delight of huge crowds at the Cascades Casino area. The change up of music style at Douglas Park also was a big hit, Taylor said. The market place was “vibrant and busiest I’ve seen it,” he said. As always, line-ups were around the block for people to bite into the coveted In and Out burger. Sunday’s swap meet was the “best it has been.” Lots of cars were sold and commerce was busy, he said. “I know because my Visa felt it,” he joked. There seemed to be no problems on Friday night, when the cruise through town was re-introduced. It had not been held for several years, due to a few people causing problems.

nother school year has dawned in B.C., with the prospect of disruptive labour disputes. First up are 27,000 support staff, in a legal strike position. These are the teacher aides, custodians, bus drivers and crossing guards. Most are members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, with a few Teamsters and other locals scattered around the 60 school districts. Public discussion about these disputes usually focuses on wage increases, which CUPE members in schools haven’t seen for four years. Their current deals expired more than a year ago, after they were subject to the same two-year wage freeze imposed on the rest of government. The B.C. government moved from the post-recession wage freeze to a system they call “co-operative gains,” where raises must be financed by savings in other areas of the operation. Only two provincial employee groups have yet to do this: school support staff and teachers. (Education Minister Peter Fassbender confirmed last week that teacher raises will be funded by extra transfers from the provincial treasury as they try to get a long-term deal. But that’s a topic for another day.) CUPE, the largest union in the country, has a sophisticated media campaign to generate public sympathy. We are repeatedly reminded not only that the last raise was 2009, but that the “average” pay is a mere $24,000 a year. If that number is accurate, it reflects a large number of part-timers.

Dealing with student debt
T
he news about frosh chants at the University of B.C. and St. Mary’s University in Halifax has shone the light of publicity on some of the less-desirable aspects of campus life at many of Canada’s postsecondary institutions, including some of the most prestigious. The chants which have received attention portray young women as sex objects and glorify violence against women. They are far more than the “school spirit” chants which student leaders say they are, because they put into words what some students actually think about life on campus. While the respective student societies say they are disciplining the leaders of the specific organizations involved, this is not enough. University leaders and governments may have to become involved. Student societies on most campuses are notorious for protecting insiders — those deeply involved in student politics. It’s a lucrative profession, as students are forced to pay fees to student societies, whose officers are elected by a tiny percentage of students. They do all they can to entrench themselves in power, and enrich themselves. Getting rid of them when they do something egregious, as happened in the recent past at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, is almost impossible. University administrations have to start getting much tougher with student organizations, and demand far more accountability. This applies in the area of finances, elections, conflict of interest and, as highlighted in this case, initiation procedures. Provincial governments also have a role to play in this — something they have shied away from. These universities are under the control of provincial legislatures, and most of their operating funds come from taxpayers. It is appalling that institutions which are supposed to train young people to take their place as responsible adults allow such behaviour to take place. The fact that these frosh chants are supposed to be kept under wraps, and that participants are forced to take part in them, makes matters even worse. Universities are supposed to be a place for free expression, not forced behaviour. Provincial Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk, a former Langley RCMP inspector, and other provincial governments need to set strict guidelines for student societies, and immediately suspend those societies which do not comply with basic rules of responsible behaviour.

ith the average postsecondary student now accumulating $27,000 in loans, according to the Canadian Federation of Students, higher learning is becoming more out of reach. What’s the solution? Let’s start with a conversation, such as the one happening south of the border right now. It is one so innovative that policy-makers in Canada should take note. This summer the Oregon legislature agreed to study a trial program that would allow students to attend state universities with no money down. In other words, no tuition. The catch is students must contribute a set portion of their future income to the program — essentially paying for their debt. Students would sign a binding contract to pay the state or the institution a certain percentage of their adjusted gross income for a specified number of years following graduation. Lawmakers in Oregon were unanimous in agreeing to the study. And good on them. The Oregon approach is not perfect. For example, the pay-back period could last over 20 years, a long time for people to continue paying schooling costs. There’s likely also a significant up-front cost to the program for government. But the cost of studying the idea is no doubt worthwhile. Indeed, it removes financial lenders — and their interest and fees — from the equation. It also removes the penalty on students who choose to pursue lower-paid professions. Government doesn’t have more money to boost the budgets of postsecondary institutions. Students are expected to take the hit. It might not be for everyone, but the Pay Forward, Pay Back program just might give the right students the right help at the right time. —Richmond Review The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Safety of B.C.’s roads Paying $25 fine easier than disputing ticket no laughing matter Editor: I was disappointed to read Frank Bucholtz’s editorial (The Times, Aug. 27), in which he “chuckles” while discussing the very serious issue of safety on the Trans-Canada Highway in British Columbia. While I am flattered that he follows my Twitter account with such interest, the fact of the matter is that I regularly drive British Columbia’s roads while visiting communities across the province in my role as Health Critic for the Liberal Party of Canada and the senior Liberal MP for British Columbia.

Another driver says that, like Bruce Jamieson, he was ticketed for parking in a designated no stopping area even though the sign was obscured by a decorative flower basket.
Editor: I wish to assure Bruce Jamieson (The Times, Aug. 29) he is not the only one ticketed for parking in Langley City, where hanging flower baskets have obscured or hindered the sight line of traffic control signs. I was ticketed in July for the same reason, however unlike Mr. Jamieson I paid the $25 fine. Prior to paying, I phoned the Bylaw Control Officer to discuss the issue of the City hanging flower baskets in front of traffic control signs. I encountered a typical bureaucratic response along with an indication of what was required to file a dispute. For $25, I quickly concluded it wasn’t worth the effort. Apparently, the City does not recognize vehicular and pedestrian traffic precludes a driver from giving priority to sorting out flower pots from parking signs. With no effort on my part, I can do business and shop outside of Langley City where customer parking is provided. Bob Robinson Langley
Control your dog or keep it on a leash Editor: As a Langley City resident who enjoys being outside and staying active, I love my walks. After today I don’t know if I’ll be venturing out by myself any time in the near future. While walking down 53 Avenue near 198 Street, I was lunged at several times by an aggressive pitbull. The dog, which was off leash in Brydon Park, ran away from its owner and then proceeded to run back and The
forth at me, preparing for a charge, while it growled menacingly. Fortunately for me, a kind gentlemen saw me screaming and promptly pulled over to ensure I was OK. I sat in his vehicle while we waited for the owner to come and control his dog. The owner was unapologetic and appeared puzzled that we were upset by his dog’s actions. The dog then darted away again, still off of its leash, and ran down 53 Avenue.
Clearly, the owner had no control over the animal, which did not respond to being called. I’d like to extend my thanks to the Langley man who graciously stopped to ensure my safety; I very much appreciate his kindness. I’d also like to ask Langley residents that if you’re unable to control your dog, please don’t take it for walks off of a leash. Furthermore, if you own a pitbull,
realize that this is a breed that will require you to be a skilled pet owner who will need to understand how to exercise and control your dog. If you are a parent who takes your children to the playground at this park, please be alert. I’ve never been afraid of dogs but after today I’ll think twice before walking alone in my neighbourhood.

Langley RCMP serious crime unit has identified but not arrested a man accused of breaking into an elderly woman’s second storey unit and assaulting her on Thursday (Sept. 5) evening. Police are saying a man entered one of the second storey units of the Magnolia Gardens seniors living and care facility in the 5800 block of Glover Road. The 87-year-old female resident was preparing for bed when she found the
man hiding. He knocked her to the ground, told her he only wanted food and then helped her up and into her bedroom. Once in her room, the woman had the awareness to activate the emergency alarm at which point the intruder fled through the balcony door. The senior only suffered minor injuries. Lower Mainland District Forensic Identification Services attended and collected evidence from the balcony, said police. As a result, a possible suspect has been identified and police continue their investigation to
gather the evidence needed to lay charges and obtain an arrest warrant. Once this is achieved, the suspect’s photograph will be distributed in order to ask for the public’s help in locating him, said police. Current efforts by police to locate him have not been successful. Police officers across the Lower Mainland have been made aware of the suspect. Langley RCMP caution residents to close and lock exterior access doors in the later evening to ensure their safety and security.

Rupy Sidhu is frustrated with the parole system. Last month Sidhu, the daughter of murdered Abbotsford woman Baljit Kaur Kondolay, created an online petition to keep her mother’s killer in jail. The petition was supposed to close on Aug. 25, so the family could use it as part of its victim impact statement during an October parole hearing.
That hearing has now been postponed. What bothers Sidhu is the postponement was requested by one of her mother’s killers — Sandeep Toor. “I guess Toor calls the shots and dictates when he feels he is ready and requires more time to plan for his hearing,” Sidhu wrote in an email. “The justice system obviously works for the criminals and not the victims.” She and her family now has to sit, wait and worry, thinking
Toor might get out. “And there is nothing we can do.” On April 19, 1998, Kondolay, was shot twice in the head in front of her Langley home. Police arrested three men — Kondolay’s husband Ajit Grewall, his son Sukhjit Grewall and the son’s friend, Toor. The Grewalls both received life in prison for first degree murder, with no chance of parole for 25 years. Toor was sentenced to life in prison with
no chance for parole for 12 years for the lesser charge of second degree murder. During his trial, it was established that Toor drove the car that transported the men to and from the crime scene. While upset about the delay, Sidhu has found one bright spot. She plans to keep the online petition running until the end of October.

Q TransLink talks move into high gear Langley Líquor Store as referendum pressure mounts < Fraser Crossing Mall, Fraser Hwy & 208th >
JEFF NAGEL Black Press
Negotiations between the province and Metro Vancouver mayors are about to move into high gear over the future of TransLink and the mechanics of a referendum Victoria insists is coming on increased transit funding. Transportation Minister Todd Stone met regional mayors’ council chair Richard Walton Sept. 4 and the minister will meet the full mayors’ council on Sept. 26 to try to hammer out agreement on key issues. Walton said he still has no sense of what the referendum question will be or when it will be held. The minister has suggested next spring is better than fall of 2014 so TransLink’s needs don’t become a political football in municipal elections. But mayors intend to focus first on a deal to reform governance of TransLink to gain more control over spending priorities, rather the current system where they can only approve or reject major tax or fare increases and the unelected professional board decides everything else. Some mayors want to boycott the referendum if they can’t wrest back much more power from the board. “I wouldn’t say it’s a precondition, but the governance is ultimately an obstacle to us resolving some of these issues,” Walton said. It’s not yet clear, he added, whether the province will agree to major reform — perhaps even restoring a fully elected board of the sort swept away in 2008 — or just minor tweaking. Meanwhile, he said, time is fast running out for a referendum that would have any chance of passing, as a huge public information campaign will be required, along with a clear champion of the yes side. “That is a huge issue,” Walton said. “Look at what the government went through with the HST. And time is marching on.” Mayors in the spring opposed the ref-
erendum on any new TransLink taxes, which was a BC Liberal election promise, and urged the province to reconsider. It’s unclear what funding source or sources will be proposed. Mayors have suggested an annual vehicle levy or a small regional sales tax are among the easiest to implement, while comprehensive road tolling would take years of research and planning. Also up in the air is who will pay to actually conduct the referendum and run the yes campaign, and what role the mayors’ council might play, since its legislation doesn’t anticipate referRichard Walton enda. “If the referendum is coming, we need some clear direction,” Walton said. “If the referendum is happening, I think the question and everything needs to be worked out clearly by November at the latest.” Failure would be disastrous, he said. “If a referendum does not pass, the region suffers economically, ridership suffers and TransLink is going to be under siege. The consequences for the region are significant.” Walton said one challenge in crafting the referendum question is to decide whether new money would only go to large rapid transit expansion projects, which he said might be supported South of the Fraser due to the large extension proposed in Surrey but defeated by the rest of the region. The alternative, he said, may be to also raise extra money for a broad improvement in bus and SkyTrain frequency everywhere to help meet rising demand. “You may then find folks in Langley, folks in Delta, folks in North Van and
Maple Ridge will all see something of value for them.” Still, he said, public anger with TransLink is “almost universal” in that virtually every city believes it’s not getting enough service back for the taxes and fees they pay in. That was exacerbated, he said, when TransLink indicated $23.5 billion in spending is needed over 30 years to maintain existing lines and build needed new ones. “To me it just gets people upset and generates a lot of criticism. Yet what they’re doing is what the legislation says they have to do. So TransLink’s between a rock and a hard place.” TransLink board chair Nancy Olewiler said TransLink is attempting to assist with the “daunting” task of crafting a referendum by researching the experience with transportation plebiscites in other jurisdictions, including the U.S. “It would be excellent from the current board’s point of view if the government could at least signal what its intentions are,” she said. “We don’t even know what the scope of the question is going to be.” The question must also be one voters can understand, Olewiler said. She noted the HST referendum was at least simple, unlike the complex eight-question referendum on aboriginal treaty-making principles conducted by the BC Liberal government in 2002. “A lot of people sat home because they couldn’t figure out that question,” she said. To be determined, she said, is how much money the referendum would seek to raise, what projects it would go to and over what period of time. A five-year investment plan is different from a 10-year one, she said, and also from one that promises that specific projects be built in specific cities by specific years. Leaving out major upgrades that are important to a particular city, or pushing them back too far, would risk defeat among those voters, she said.

David Peckham Heads off to the Interior
David Peckham joined the Otter Co-op Feed sales team in December of 1992 at our Aldergrove location. David has recently made the move to join the Armstrong operation to serve our dairy customers in the interior as well as to expand our sales in dairy feeds and Value Added products in the region. His experience and expertise in hay and silage management and herd knowledge will be a true asset to our customers as we grow our service in the Armstrong and surrounding areas. We wish David and his family much happiness and success in their new adventure.
Otter Co-op Welcomes
Tim Marshall
Otter Co-op is excited to announce the appointment of Tim Marshall as our Nutritionist/ Technical Service Manager. Tim will bring a wealth of expertise and knowledge to our group with his 32 years of service in the feed industry. His expertise in nutrition, purchasing, technical service and sales will be instrumental in our growth and progress for future. We are looking forward to his positive contribution to our already growing business.
Ian Flatt Retires
After 32 years with Otter Co-op Friday, August 30th was a day of mixed emotion as staff and customers shared a farewell cake for Ian Flatt as he retired from Otter Co-op after thirty-two years. Ian started with Otter in April of 1981 in the Sporting Goods Department. At that time the Hardware and Agro Departments were separate and Ian started on the Hardware side. Eventually the two departments merged and Ian was promoted to Hardware Supervisor and eventually to Hardware Manager. Never a request too large – be it from a customer or staff member – Ian was always willing to help and dedicated to making his department a success. Ian and his wife Lois live in Abbotsford; have two grown sons, one daughter-in-law and two grandsons. From everyone at Otter Co-op we wish Ian and Lois a long and happy well deserved retirement. Congratulations!

As I am writing my report, I realize that Fall is upon us: leaves falling off trees, dark mornings, and much cooler days. It is so nice to live in a place where we can experience the changing seasons.

There were $968.41 received in donations which we were very happy to be able to present to The Langley Hospice Society.
During the summer our five gas bars each held a Customer Appreciation Day. They served free hot dogs, cookies and refreshments. There was also lot of prizes to be won including the Grand Prize of a $500 Co-op Gift Card at each of the Gas Bars.

I am able to report that at the end of Period #6, Otter overall sales were 1.5% ahead of last year at this same time. Not a great increase, but definitely something we are proud of with the tight economy, increased competition, and rise in cross-border shopping. Sales increases have been seen in our feed, pharmacy, and general merchandise divisions. Our bulk petroleum division has seen a nice increase in bulk delivered litres to farm and commercial business, but we have seen a significant decrease in litres delivered to reseller gas bars. And with the increase in cross border shopping, our food and gas bar divisions have both seen a decline in sales this past summer. Hopefully with everyone over their vacations, the kids back in school, and the line ups at the border getting longer, this trend will even out and people will spend more time shopping at home. Sales decreases in these divisions are definitely affecting our bottom line so far this year, and we are off of last years’ savings at this time by over 50%. Some exciting events at Otter the first half of our 2013 year include the purchase of a feed mill operation in Armstrong, and the planning of a new bulk plant, cardlock, gas bar, convenience store and office space in Chilliwack. Our sales continue to grow in the interior, and we are pleased to announce that our Chilliwack project is going to tender this month, with plans to begin construction in October. The Chilliwack site is projected to add in excess of $35 million a year in sales, and is a great fit to our trading area and the customers we already serve there. We continue to work towards an upgrade at our 248th cardlock and gas bar site, and plans continue on a gas bar and convenience store on Highway 11 between Abbotsford and Mission. Your Co-op board, management and staff continue to work diligently on keeping Otter a growing, diverse and profitable business for our members, and we look forward to serving you the rest of the year. I’d like to take this opportunity to again thank our members for their continued support, as well as all of our great team members here for their continued work in making Otter the great place to shop, whether it be for petroleum, feed, general merchandise, pharmacy or food. Stop by during Equity Days, say hello, and share in your portion of the $5.88 million going back to members based on their purchases in 2012; we hope to see you here at the Co-op!

W
ith around 50 local artists set to display their work later this month, art aficionados will have plenty to enjoy as they take in the fifth annual Langley Art Studio Tour. “This is so exciting — we have got such a wealth of talent in Langley and outwards,” said Felicity Holmes, a Brookswood artist and new addition to the event’s organizing committee, which includes co-founder Deborah Strong, Jeanette Parkes of The Loafing Shed Glass Studio, Murrayville artist Donna Leavens and fellow Brookswood artist Sasha Moye. “It’s a nice way to get two solid weekends where people can come from all over in a lovely rural setting and see some fantastic art.” On the scenic tour — which takes in both country and city — one will find painters, potters, glass artists, jewelers, wood turners, photographers, sculptors and others, who will be opening up their studios to offer a behind-thescenes glimpse at the creative process. Many are sharing their studios with one or more guest artists. This year’s event, which runs the last two weekends of September (Sept. 21-22 and Sept. 28-29 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.), will have nearly 50 juried artists and artisans — the largest number of participants in the tour’s five-year history. continued, PAGE 23

New in town Serge Dubé, who recently relocated to Langley from White Rock, is among 50 artists taking part in the annual Langley Art Studio Tour MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

fter spending several hours painting, and hundreds of dollars on supplies, Serge Dubé feels no remorse in destroying his own artwork. As an artist who produces 300 to 400 paintings a year, cutting up a few is just quality control, he said. “There’s been a lot of paint that’s gone down the drain,” Dubé said. “Ten, fifteen thousand dollars in materials because it didn’t work. And I can’t do anything about it except try again, so it’s taken me a while to master this technique.” But all that wasted paint has been money well spent in that Dubé has developed a style very different from most artists. He doesn’t use any brushes, for one, and also prefers to dump an entire container of acrylic paint onto the canvas — to get the brightest, strongest pigment possible — than use just a few dabs. He calls it a “happy accident” that happened about 10 years ago while he was experimenting with new ways to use paint. “This is not abstract, it is very impressionistic,” Dubé said. “I can control the dripping and the fluidity of the paint more easily. “There are two special formulas that I put into my work, and if I push the formula to one side then I get a lot more movement in the paint, or I can keep it really sticky and really thick. “Every painting
here, to get this colour impact, I would need to go 10, 15, 20 times over with a brush. But when I pour the paint, it’s like pouring 35 per cent cream onto the table. You know how thick it is? That’s the same thing. When it dries and all settles it gives it that powerful palette.” Dubé estimates that he spends close to $7,000 a year on paint, which has translated into more than 11,000 pieces sold over the last 30 years. “I never run out of ideas,” he said. “I don’t have the white page syndrome. I don’t have to think twice about what I’m doing. I do something and then figure out after what it means. I just go and then let the public figure it out. “That’s why I do a lot of quality control. There’s some pieces in there that are at the end of their life expectancy, they haven’t grabbed anyone, so I’ll either destroy them or keep them as a souvenir.” Prior to developing his impressionistic acrylic technique, Dubé did all types of work — spray paint on plexiglass, watercolours, oil, surrealism. “Anything to make a living,” he said. Dubé first moved to Vancouver from Montreal in his early 20s with $35 in his pocket. A friend found him a job in Vancouver as a postman, but a visit to an art studio in White Rock quickly changed all of that. “There was a call for me with the art, I quit my job, and I became an
artist,” he said. He has had many studios over the years, and has largely been based out of White Rock, until a recent move to Salt Lane in downtown Langley last April. Art lovers who are planning to take the annual Langley Art Studio Tour this year will be able to watch Dubé at work in his ‘Oxford Street Studio,’ named for the small building he formerly occupied in White Rock. No matter where Dubé is situated, his paintings always finds their owners, he said. In one case, someone asked him for a painting he had done 10 years earlier and, remarkably, he still had it in storage. “I’m just the gatekeeper here,” he said. “I keep my paintings until they go away to their owners. A lot of different paintings mean different things to different people.” But don’t expect him to create the same thing twice. “Each painting is a moment,” he said. “There’s always a few where I’m like ‘how did I do that?’ I try to get back into the mood and try to redo them, but it’s difficult.” One of the most memorable paintings Dubé ever did was a commissioned piece for a couple in Calgary. Their 19-year-old son had recently passed away and they wanted a piece of artwork to commemorate his life. “When I delivered the painting to them, the emotion from the mom, from everyone, you become a part of that,” said Dubé.

Clouds and canals on display A pair of artists will share space in the Fort Gallery as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cloudscapesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sketches of Veniceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; run from Sept. 11 to 29 The Fort Gallery in Fort Langley, is preparing to host two shows at the same time, featuring work by two of its most experienced artists. Fresh new works from both Veronica Plewman and Kristin Krimmel, will be presented at the gallery, in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cloudscapesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sketches of Venice,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; starting on Sept. 11, with a public opening reception to be held on Sunday, Sept. 15. Plewmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new work explores symbols of transition: portals, tunnels, ladders, passageways, arches, stairs, trees, windows, including the stained glass ones in the Abbey just up the hill from her home. She uses all of these elements to show how the external world influences consciousness. She uses the tools of painting and deals with colour, light and movement. In August, 2012, Krimmel was invited to be Artist in Residence at the Scuola Internazionale di Grafica Venezia. During four weeks of her residency in April and May this year, she photographed and sketched buildings, canals, tourist and residents of this historic and iconic city on water, gathering imagery for larger works upon her return to Canada. This is the first public showing of her small etchings, watercolours and chalk drawings from her travels. Both shows,â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cloudscapesâ&#x20AC;? & â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sketches of Veniceâ&#x20AC;? will exhibit at the Fort Gallery from Sept. 11 to 29, with the opening reception on Sunday, Sept. 15 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Gallery hours are noon to 5 p.m, Wednesday to Sunday. The gallery is located at 9048 Glover Rd. in Fort Langley. For further information contact the gallery directly at 604-888-7411 or www.fortgallery.ca.

Tour offers opportunity to support local artists from PAGE 21
Some are returning favourites from previous years, while others are brandnew to the tour. And once again, it will be an exciting mix of mediums and styles, promises Holmes. “From the realistic to the wild, abstract and everything in between, we’ll have it all on this tour.” Joining this year’s event are sculptor Elaine Brewer-White and painter Serge Dubé (see related story, page 19) — both have recently opened studios in Langley. Art demonstrations and learning opportunities continue to be an important element of the tour. Artists will be demonstrating their work on an ongoing basis and are happy to talk about their approaches and techniques. Some have scheduled specific times when they’ll offer demonstrations or miniworkshops. “It will be an excellent way for visitors to learn about the various mediums and connect with artists who offer instructional classes and workshops,” noted Holmes. There will be far too many artists to see in one day, so Holmes is hopeful that visitors will make good use of the four tour dates to see as much
as they can. “Please come on board and support your local artists,” she said. “It’s so hard to make a living as an artist, and so many people doing this put their heart and soul in their work. It is nice to be appreciated.” Visitors will be able to find Holmes on the map. She will be displaying her local landscape paintings and calming misty scenes brought to life with acrylics. “It’s a lovely way of promoting yourself in a local group,” she said. “People come to you because they are interested in seeing your work — that just really makes it more personal.” Lori McPhee, a Langley artist whose acrylic works are both collected privately and corporately around the globe, looks forward to being a first-
time participant in the tour this fall. After spending several years promoting her work at a gallery in White Rock, she’s looking forward to reconnecting with her Langley clients. “It will be nice to touch base and let them know I’m back in town,” said McPhee, who recently signed on with the Fort Langley Artist Studio. “If you don’t keep promoting yourself, people will forget about you. That’s what makes this tour so unique — it reminds people that hey there’s so much talent here in our own community.” Vehicle transportation is an absolute must to cover the distances involved in the tour. Enjoy Tour and Travel will schedule a bus tour on at least one of the four days of the event. For a list of participating artists and studios, visit www.langleystudiotour.ca. The Langley Art Studio Tour is also on Facebook and is a registered Culture Days activity (www.culturedays. ca). Tour maps will soon be available for download and will also be available for pickup at a variety of locations in and around Langley City and Township (check website for locations).

Act of sportsmanship earns Fusion award Fastpitch team raising money to cover cost of attending ceremony in St. Louis where they will receive the Musial Award GARY AHUJA Times Sports
It was the right thing to do. That is all that was going through the minds of Shannon Chick, Kristan Rodrigues and Shae Domitruk. This was back in late July, during a playoff game in the provincial championships between the Fraser Valley Fusion 97 fastpitch team and the Surrey Storm 97 at Victoria’s Helmcken Park. The Storm’s Raelyn Radovich had just belted a three-run home run over the centre-field fence, which tied the game. But while she was rounding first base, Radovich suffered a knee injury. She limped her way around second base and then third, but the pain became too much to bear and she collapsed. Since she had rounded third base and was between third and home, she could not stop and call for a pinch runner. And if a teammate or coach was to help her, she would be called out. That was when the trio sprung into action. Chick, Rodrigues and Domitruk, hoisted the fallen Radovich up and carried her to home plate so she could tag the base for the tying run. “If one of our girls happened (to get hurt) and fall, we would have wanted someone to step up and say we are going to take her home as well,” Chick said. She described the moment as very emotional, with the falling player — and many of the fans in attendance — moved to tears. “None of us really said anything, it just kind of
happened,” said Domitruk. “I felt bad for her, she totally deserved the home run so we picked her up and carried her home,” Rodrigues said. The Fusion went on to win that game and eventually finished second at provincials. But something bigger than winning the silver medal also happened to the team of 16-year-old girls. “We are always on the look out for extraordinary stories of sportsmanship,” explained Marc Schreiber, the vice-president of the St. Louis Sports Commission. While the organization does accept nominations, most often they will select the award recipients through their own research. “We decide on the stories that we think rise to the level of deserving to be honour at the event,” Schreiber said. “And sure enough, we found what was printed in the Langley Times online,” he said, referring to the story in the Aug. 8 edition of The Times. The Fusion will receive the Musial Award on Nov. 9 in St. Louis, Missouri. Named for the late St. Louis Cardinals’ Hall of Famer Stan Musial, the annual event recognized the greatest moments and stories of sportsmanship. The award was formerly known as the National Sportsmanship Award and has been presented since 1999. The Fusion will be the first recipient from outside the United States, Schreiber said. “In recognition of the team’s extraordinary character and selflessness, we have selected the Fusion to be honored,” it said in email informing to the

Chick. “It means a lot to us as a team,” Rodrigues said about getting the award. The Fusion are hoping to raise enough money to send all 12 players and three coaches to St. Louis for the ceremony. Right now, airfare and accommodation is provided for just two people. “Hopefully we can raise enough for all 15 of us to go receive the award,” said coach Gord O’Grady. “It is not really a two-person award, it is a team award.”

Langley defeats Trail 4-3 in overtime, shuts out Merritt 1-0 GARY AHUJA Times Sports
The Langley Rivermen won a pair of one-goal decisions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one via overtime and the other a shutout â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as they opened the BCHL season over the weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pretty happy, they closed out two games, so I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complain,â&#x20AC;? said Rivermen coach Bobby Henderson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We defended really well, both our goalies put in solid performances and we got a couple of timely goals.â&#x20AC;? The junior A hockey club was in Chilliwack at the Prospera Centre for the BCHL Showcase Event. It was the second consecutive season the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 16 teams opened the season under the same arena roof. In the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opener on Friday night, captain Mitch
McLain played overtime hero with the decisive goal 22 seconds into the extra period in a 4-3 win over the Trail Smoke Eaters. Brendon Kearney, the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first star, had an impressive debut scoring twice. Matt Ustaski had the other Langley goal. Goaltender James Barr made 22 saves for the victory. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second game came on Sunday against the Merritt Centennials and goaltender Brock Crossthwaite stopped all 22 shots he faced in a 1-0 win. The gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone goal was a second-period power-play marker from defenceman Mark Whiteley. Henderson was impressed his team found a way to close out both victories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Early in the year, teams tend to find ways to lose games, so to win both is

Cook was picked up from the Coquitlam Express in exchange for future considerations. The six-foot-one forward had eight goals and 17 points in 46 games last season. The Rivermen will look to improve to 3-0 when they visit the South Surrey Arena on Friday (Sept. 13) against the Surrey Eagles. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ The puck drops on the Aldergrove Kodiaks junior B hockey season tomorrow (Wednesday) night at the Aldergrove Arena.

Spartans fall to NCAA foe
Despite a boisterous home crowd at the David E. Enarson Gym, the Trinity Western menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team was unable to overcome a hotshooting UC (University of California) Riverside, as it fell 98-76 Friday night. The Highlanders shot 70 per cent from the field in the first half to build a 20-point lead and, from there, cruised to a convincing win. The closest the Spartans got was cutting the lead to a dozen points early in the fourth quarter. The Spartans had a 33-24 edge on the glass, which included a 15-6 advantage on the offensive boards, but turnovers and UCRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impressive shooting proved to be their undoing. Both teams took 57 shots, but UCR hit 37 while TWU hit 26. The Spartans also committed 25 turnovers to UCRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 21. Riversideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sam Finley led all scorers with 24 points. The Spartans were led by Mark Perrin who had 16 points while Denny McDonald added 12 and Anthony Ottley and Kelvin Smith each contributed 11. Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we turned the ball over too much,â&#x20AC;? said Spartans coach Scott Allen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our offensive rebounding was excellent and the energy in that regard was fantastic. Our focus in the first few weeks has been on being a little more intense and aggressive and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long process but I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good step. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re (UCR) talented athletes and the guys on their team who can shoot the

FLCC hosting free tryout session The Fort Langley Canoe Club, is holding a free drop-in session on Sept. 28 in hopes of attracting potential paddlers to the sport of Dragonboating. The session will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Fort Langley Marina Park (at the base of Church Street in Fort Langley). It will be run by members of the Fast & Furious competitive team, which recently returned from the national championships. It is free to try and the club will provide paddles and flotation devices. It is open to anyone ages 15 and up (but those between 15 and 18 must have a parent or guardian onsite to sign their waiver form. Swimming experience is not necessary. For more information, contact holscot@shaw.ca. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘
The Fort Langley Canoe Club paddlers showed the depth of their paddling prowess at three different Dragonboat regattas. Three elite womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Abreast with Fortitude, Fast and Furious and Titanium competed at the Canadian nationals club crew championships, which were held at Elk Lake near Victoria on Aug. 24 and 25. Abreast with Fortitude, competing in the breast cancer survivors division, won silver. Fast and Furious (49+ womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior B division) rallied from a slow start on the first day to battle back and take fourth in their division. And Titanium, comprised mainly of paddlers new to the sport, came in ninth in the senior womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s C division. All three showed well enough to qualify
for the 2014 club crew world championships, which will be held in Ravenna, Italy from Sept. 3 to 7. Three members of FLCC, who trained and raced with the False Creek Racing Canoe Club, also medaled in the mixed and open senior C division with FCRCC and are Ravenna-bound, as well. FLCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FORTified mixed and Phoenix womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dragon boat teams won gold and silver, respectively, at the B.C. Seniors Games held in Kamloops. Â FORTified, dominated the semifinals and won a thrilling final by a scant 0.07 seconds. Â In five years of competing at the Games, FORTified now owns the distinction of earning three gold medals and Phoenix, a gold and silver in its two years of participation in the Games.
Closer to home, FLCC recreational / competitive womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and mixed teams also competed at the 2013 Steveston Challenge regatta this past weekend. Â Fort Fury (first) and Dragon Alliance (third) medaled in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A division championship. Â Fraser Dragons had a similarly strong showing with a gold in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s B division championship. Â The medals podium in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s C devision championship was crowded by Dragon Spirit (first and Dragonflies (thirrd). Â In the mixed team divisions, Fort Fusion (fifth in mixed C division championship missing medals by scant 0.03 seconds) and SOAR (fourth in mixed E division championship) all rounded out FLCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s domination of this regatta.

was set up by an interception at midfield. “I love how we started,” said Rams coach Ted Kirby. “We came out flying around the ball. “And then I think we almost had a lull there and it took a while to get back to it, but once we did, we started rolling again.” Part of that can be attributed to the fact the team was coming off a bye week and had a bit of rust to shake off, he said. Langley scored the only points of the second quarter — a 49-yard run by Nathan Lund, an 85-yard single from Steve Thomas on the ensuing kick-off and then a 20-yard field goal from Thomas — for the 25-10 halftime lead. The Rams then turned to the running

Kyle Albertini was a wrecking machine along the ground. The Langley Rams running back churned out 215 yards on 22 carries — nearly a first down per carry — and two touchdowns in his team’s 49-17 victory over the visiting Westshore Rebels on Saturday afternoon at McLeod Park. The win improved the Rams to 5-1 and top spot in the B.C. Junior Football Conference. “I am going to have to give a lot of (credit) to the offensive line,” Albertini said after the game. “They made it easy for me. They made the holes and it was easy to see (where to run). “We worked as a
unit.” Albertini was named player of the game. The Rams got off to a quick start, scoring touchdowns on their opening two drives. The first began with a 40-yard kickoff return from Ryan MacDonald and that was followed by four straight running plays from Albertini for another 40 yards. It was capped off by a 21-yard touchdown pass from Jahlani Gilbert-Knorren to Dan English. The second drive ended through the air again, this time Gilbert-Knorren hitting Malcolm Williams from 37 yards out. The Rebels scored the next 10 points, a field goal and then a 20-yard pass from Hunter Lake to Sean Shepherd. The score

game in the second half, scoring three rushing touchdowns: a one-yard quarterback keeper from GilbertKnorren and a pair of Albertini runs. And the defence held the Rebels to a touchdown and field goal the rest of the way. A big key to the game was the difference in the teams’ rushing attacks. “We wanted to come out and stop the run, which I think we established,” said defensive lineman Evan Foster, who finished with 1.5 sacks, three tackles and fumble recovery. Jeff Paras (interception) and Jacob Patko (fumble recovery) also came up with turnovers for the defence. “And we wanted to
get after the passer and script the game plan,” Foster added. The Rams allowed just eight yards rushing in the first half and were even better in the second, holding Westshore to negative five yards. Altogether, the Rebels had three yards rushing on 13 carries. By comparison, Albertini, Lund (12 carries, 122 yards) and Gilbert-Knorren (five carries, 15 yards) combined for 352 yards rushing. The strong defensive effort also allowed the Rams to overcome four turnovers (three interceptions, one fumble). ••••• The Rams travel to Nanaimo on Saturday to face the 4-2 Vancouver Island (VI) Raiders.

What is wilderness? It’s natural to wonder W
hat does the term “wilderness” conger up for you? Is it some remote area far from human habitation? Or is it a little piece of nature you could escape to in your own backyard? In the 1990s, environmental historian William Cronon shocked wilderness advocates by declaring that wilderness is but a human invention. Cronon’s point was that naturalists like John Muir had over-romanticized wilderness as places “untrammeled by man.” Are there such “pristine” places on Earth today? We would like to think so. Even if we ourselves never
make it to the Canadian Arctic, just to know it is there and “unspoiled” would be comforting. However, human pollutants can be found all over the planet’s surface, even in arctic ice. And the arctic ice itself is getting thinner and thinner due to the apparent impacts of our industrial activities to the south on arctic climate. Still, reading Cronon’s work makes one want to cry out “no!” and slam the book shut yelling “It can’t be! — There must be some wilderness still out there! It’s only natural.” Oops — there’s another loaded term — what’s natural?
it was great to see so many people enjoying it. A few weeds here and there didn’t ruin things. Speaking of weeds, I just went picking non-native Himalayan blackberries today. Our “wilderness” here in Langley is festooned with blackberries. The picking was actually not that good as we were too late in the season. But this non-native, invasive alien species gave me and two of my sons a good excuse to get out and enjoy nature. Naturally.
