Two Canadian veterans of D-Day were present on Friday night, as the Langley branch of the Royal Canadian Legion marked the 70th anniversary of that pivotal day. Les Randall (left) was in the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps, while John Swityk (right) was in the Regina Rifles. Both men were on Juno Beach on June 6, 1944.

Guilty plea in Fernridge killing TAYLOR JOHNSON DIED WHILE TAKING CARE OF A GROW-OP MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

The man accused of killing a pastor’s son in an attempted grow rip in Langley last year pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter using a firearm, in Surrey Provincial Court on Wednesday morning. Jesse Hill, of Surrey, was originally expected to make a routine appearance but made the plea instead. He next appears in court on Sept. 3 for a pre-sentencing report. Hill, 24, faced a second-degree murder charge in the death of 21-year-old Delta resident Taylor Johnson. Hill was also charged with break

arrest in October. Johnson, 21, was found shot to death on Feb. 26, 2013 in a 200 Street home in the Fernridge area, which contained a grow-op. Johnson was the caretaker of the grow-op. He was the son of a pastor in Delta and had no prior record. During a press conference, his dad, Paul, said his son had made some new friends of questionable nature. He said his son was very trusting. Taylor Johnson also left behind his stepmother and five siblings. Manslaughter with a firearm carries a minimum sentence of four years.

Ever wonder what happens to people after they have been arrested and charged with a serious crime? Two Langley men have now gone through the court system and received probation for being involved in a vicious, unprovoked attack and robbery at the Langley City 7-Eleven in November, 2012. Allan Carmichael, 30, and Jordan Jaric, 25, were originally charged with one count each of robbery. Carmichael, who has a long criminal history for similar offences, was found guilty of the lesser charge of theft under $5,000 and Jaric was also found guilty of assault. Carmichael was given two years probation. Jaric, who has no criminal background, was given 24 months probation, a 10-year firearm ban and ordered to pay a $50 victim surcharge in March. The attack was so brutal it left the victim lying in the middle of the road bleeding and unconscious, said police. Around 11:20 p.m., Langley RCMP were called

by a passing motorist who saw two men beating on another just outside the 56 Avenue convenience store. The first officer to arrive found the unconscious victim lying in the middle of the road with his friend watching over him, said police. It took several minutes for him to regain consciousness. His friend told police they had exited the 7-Eleven and walked past two men who appeared drunk. It’s alleged that one of the suspects punched the victim, who tried to walk away but was unable to, as both the men knocked him to the ground and punched him repeatedly. At the time, it was alleged the victim was punched and kicked in the head. The two suspects then took the victim’s coat and fled on foot. Witnesses to the beating told police the two suspects were standing in front of Army & Navy store. Officers went across the street and arrested the two who were holding the victim’s jacket.

TWU president will speak at special law society meeting D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r te r

A special Tuesday (today) meeting of the Law Society of B.C. to decide the fate of the planned Trinity Western University (TWU) law school will hear from university president Bob Kuhn. Kuhn, an Abbotsford lawyer, was expected to argue freedom of religion was being

violated by a proposal to withdraw the recent approval of the law school by the Law Society, the body that regulates the legal profession in B.C. If that approval is reversed, it would prevent Trinity law school graduates from working in this province. Critics have complained a university requirement that staff and students prom-

ise they won’t engage in “sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman” is anti-gay, and conflicts with a lawyer’s responsibility to uphold the rights and freedoms of all persons. The approval of the school by the directors of the Law Society of B.C. is being challenged by Victoria lawyer Michael

Mulligan, who collected more than 1,300 written requests in just over a week, double the number required to force a special general meeting.

Learning Should Be Personal ™

One parent is planning a ‘walk-in’ and plans to teach her kids at their school if the teachers won’t do so during Friday’s planned strike. Brigitte MacNamara is a single parent of four kids and had to take her second day off work last week because of the teachers’ job action. It’s lost wages and lost education for her children. “I am not for the government. I am not for teachers. I’m for the children,” said MacNamara. One of her children goes to Simonds Elementary, so that is where she is planning to go through the picket line and

bring her kids and any other kids that want to be taught that day inside the school. She has created an open Facebook page under “Parent-student walk in BC schools remain open” for parents to provide feedback, or if they want to sign up. She hopes the district will have the door open for her. If so, she plans to keep the school day as normal as possible —with instruction, recess and lunch. She would also like to include art and gym time. “I had to take the day off anyways, so the best thing is for my children to be in school. If other parents want to bring their kids there too, I am more than willing to teach them for the day,”

she said. She plans to have a sign-in sheet and contact information from any parent who participates. Her mother has offered to help for the day. If the teachers won’t let her through the picket line or if the doors are locked she plans on teaching anyways, whether it be on the sidewalk or at the school’s field. According to the district, schools are technically open in that an administrator is on site, but there is no instruction and very little supervision. “That’s why parents are asked to not bring their kids to school,” said district spokesperson Ken Hoff.

Vote expected late in the day From Page 3

Castlegar, Cranbrook, Prince Rupert, Smithers and Terrace, all linked by telephone. A vote is not expected until late in the day, A resolution passed at a general meeting is not binding on law society directors unless one-third of the more than 10,000 lawyers in B.C. have voted and have approved the resolution by a two-thirds majority. The Law Society of Upper Canada (LSUC) and the Nova Scotia Barristers Society (NSBS)

recently voted against allowing Trinity law school graduates to practise law in Ontario and Nova Scotia. The university is seeking court orders to overturn those decisions, and is expected to do the same if the B.C. society reverse its approval. In 2001, TWU won a court battle over a similar issue with the B.C. College of Teachers. The College of Teachers was refusing to allow the university to assume full responsibility for its teacher training because the

TWU Community Standards at the time had a list of “practices that are biblically condemned” that mentioned “sexual sins including … homosexual behaviour.” In an 8-1 ruling, the Supreme Court of Canada declared that TWU “is a private institution that is exempted, in part, from the B.C. human rights legislation and to which the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not apply.” Kuhn happens to be the lawyer who won that case.

Seniors targeted

Tracks raise funds for owner, trainers D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Racetracks in B.C. and Ontario are raising money for the owner and trainers of the 17 horses that died in the June 1 fire that completely destroyed a stable near on 224 Street and 40 Avenue. The campaign was announced on Friday by the Great Canadian Gaming Corporation, the company that operates the racetracks. The standardbred horses were trained by Bill Davis and owned by Rick Mowles of J J J Stables competed in harness racing. “It’s the worst thing that can happen when you’re in the racing industry,” said Chuck Keeling,

Great Canadian’s vice-president in charge of stakeholders relations and responsible gaming. “It is a horrific loss for everyone.” The horses and equipment lost in the fire were not insured. Four Great Canadian Gaming racetrack facilities are involved; Fraser Downs Racetrack in Surrey, Hastings Racecourse in Vancouver, and the Ontario-based Georgian Downs and Flamboro Downs tracks. All will be collecting cash donations until Tuesday, June 17. As well, Fraser Downs and Harness Racing B.C. will co-host a fundraising night at Fraser Downs on Tuesday, June 17 at 6:30 p.m. with

a wine and cheese reception in the Homestretch at Fraser Downs. The evening will include a silent auction. Those wishing to contribute to the silent auction should deliver their items to the Fraser Downs reception desk before Sunday, June 15. For more information contact Fraser Downs Racetrack & Casino at 604.576.9141. The fire that killed 16 standardbred horses and one pony is believed to be one of the worst involving livestock ever recorded in Langley Township. Investigators suspect the fire may have started in the electrical wiring of the old wood-frame building.

Last week was seniors’ week, but some people are targeting them in scams, warned Langley police. A distraction scam has been on the rise again in Langley, this time targeting older people, mainly senior women who are out grocery shopping. One suspect will identify a potential target, usually an elderly female out grocery shopping. The suspect will follow the potential victim home where he is joined by a second suspect, often times a female. The two will approach the home asking the potential

victim for water for an overheating vehicle or even for water to heat a baby bottle. “Yes, at times there will even be a baby present with the suspects,” said Const. Craig van Herk. “While the unsuspecting victim goes inside to get the water, the suspect steals the victim’s wallet or purse.” “It is difficult to measure the negative level in which some very unsavoury people will stoop. For non-violent offences, these incidents rank as very disturbing,” said Langley RCMP Insp. Murray Power.

Seniors Games ceremony focuses on volunteers GARY AHUJA Tim es Reporter

The best way to keep in touch with your culture is to respect and listen to your elders. Those were the words of Kwantlen First Nations’ elder Kevin Kelly. “We pay respect to our seniors; it is very important, our elders are our teachers,” he told the crowd at Fort Langley’s Bedford Landing on Thursday evening. “Always take the time to talk to your elders. If you don’t, you lose your culture.” The crowd was on hand to mark the unofficial countdown to the B.C. Seniors Games, which are less than 100 days away from beginning. The Games run Sept. 9 to Sept. 13 and are being co-hosted by the City and the Township. The ceremony concluded with the lightning of the Games’ torch as Cheryl MacIntosh — the Township’s volunteer of the year and a member of the Fort Langley Canoe Club — passed the torch to Langley MLA Mary Polak, who then lit the Games’ cauldron. The torch was brought to the ceremony via dragon boat by members of the Fort Langley Canoe Club along the Fraser River. “We will light this torch as a symbol of this community’s pride in hosting the Games,” said Jim McGregor, who GA RY A HUJ A Langley Time s served as emcee of the ceremony.

Question langeytimes.com

Langley Memorial Hospital is fortunate that there are so many generous residents of this community — people who contribute millions to the hospital through giving to capital campaigns, supporting the hospital auxiliary and giving money through bequests. This spirit of generosity was on display on two occasions last week — at the unveiling of the new maternity clinic, most of which was funded through private donations, and at the annual Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation gala, held Saturday night. The new maternity clinic cost $6.5 million, with the Foundation committing to pay for $5.35 million of that through gifts. It is named the Vandekerkhove Family Maternity Clinic, in honour of a $1 million donation from the well-known Langley family. Fraser Health Authority paid for infrastructure upgrades to allow the new clinic to proceed. The electrical, seismic, and water service upgrades cost an additional $5.5 million. However, the hospital faces many challenges in the future, and some of them are a result of political decisions. Langley Township is planning to almost double its population in the next 25 years, but there are no plans to add capacity to the hospital in the near future, or even longterm. Perhaps the biggest threat to care at LMH could come this week. There are persistent rumours that FHA will be rolled into the larger Vancouver Coastal Health Authority. These were partially substantiated when it became known Friday that FHA’s CEO Dr. Nigel Murray is leaving his post to return to his native New Zealand. He is being replaced by the former Vancouver Coastal CEO. FHA is undergoing a review, the findings of which have been delayed. Its board chair was fired in April. If Langley’s future hospital needs are going to come under the purview of a giant Vancouver-based health authority, count on this hospital getting almost no attention. Smaller community hospitals will be all but ignored. There will be very little funding for long-term planning and expansion. Langley residents will pay a steep price for that lack of attention.

of the week

Is Langley getting a fair shake from Fraser Health Authority, in terms of hospital expansion?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Missing a lesson they

Teachers have been conducting rotating strikes around the province, walking off the job a day at a time to protest the lack of progress in their ongoing contract dispute with the province. Last week, student organizers, as they have in previous disputes, felt it was time they tried to make their voices heard. But though over 10,000 students across the province said they would participate in their own strike Wednesday in support of their teachers, when 9 a.m. rolled around, there was disappointingly low turnout at many schools, including Penticton’s. We say disappointing, not because we think students should be missing any more educational time than they already have through the teacher walkouts, but because the low turnout was due in part to a campaign by school administrators to discourage the student strike, in some cases actually blocking students from leaving the school. Voting rates among young people are at an all-time low. What better way to convince a group of high school students that their voice won’t matter when they too get to voting age, than to squelch their attempt to exercise the rights of free speech and lawful civil protest? It’s unlikely the student protest would have any effect whatsoever on the teacher’s contract negotiations. But that isn’t the point; the important part is the student initiative to attempt to make their voices heard. School administrators shouldn’t have encouraged the student protest, but they could have chosen to step back and not interfered. At the most, the students on walkout would have missed a class or two, but they would have learned a different kind of lesson. And, after all, the students’ voice is important: their education, and that of following generations, is what is really at stake here. — Penticton Western News

Trustee takes issue with Times editorial Editor: Thank you for taking the time to publish your editorial — “Trustees fiddle with words, while students lose out in destructive teachers’ strike,” which I believe was spurred by the article “Board of Education wants teacher bargaining to continue”, written by Monique Tamminga. Both of which were published in the June 5 edition of The Times. While I found your opinion to be interesting, I thought it may be useful for you to actually have a copy of the motion the board passed on Monday, June 2 at its regular public board meeting, as you were not there. The motion, which I brought and which was passed unanimously by the board, reads as follows: “Whereas the Langley Board of Education supports the collective bargaining process as the best means of addressing issues related to unionized employees and their employers and is of the view that such issues should be resolved through a negotiated process and not through legislative action: “And whereas the Langley Board of Education believes negotiation in good faith to reach a collective agreement is the cornerstone of successful resolution of labour disputes; “Be it resolved that the Langley Board of Education write a letter to both the BCPSEA and the BCTF, expressing the Board’s

concern in relation to the current bargaining situation in British Columbia and its expectation that the parties should reach a settlement as soon as possible through negotiation in good faith.” The most important part of that motion is where the board expresses its concern in relation to the current bargaining situation in British Columbia. That concern extends to our students, the people who work in our district and to the provision of public education in our district in general. Your assertion that “Even at that, the board could not agree to send a letter expressing those sentiments, unless the final version is circulated to all trustees to see if it meets with their approval” and the divisiveness it implies are both factually incorrect. Had you attended the meeting, you would be aware that the letter is to be written by the chair, on behalf of the board and consequently a requirement for the concurrence of the board in the draft is not unusual. Boards should speak with one voice and such concurrence is the means through which that is accomplished. Perhaps you have forgotten about the column you wrote titled: “Blueprint for change,” published in The Times on Sept. 27, 2010. It states: “Auditor-General John Doyle

Maintenance overkill Editor: In my area of South Langley, the Rural Road Maintenance Team is in the midst of a far too generous taxpayer-funded spending bonanza. It started in the late winter, long before any visible grass growth, with “trimming” of the roadside verges. The next activity is the scouring of the ditches involving chopping of vegetation, chewing up the top couple of inches of dirt and massacre of every frog, toad, salamander and snake that lived there. Each ditch warranted a pass on both sides of it and sometimes another up to the private property fence line. The final deed is the irregular gouging of often visually

pleasing verges in the name of removing any grass sod with the temerity to grow above the level of the road surface. So after all this action, five or six passes on each side of every road with diesel-guzzling heavy equipment belching noxious fumes, we end up with more air pollution, exuberant new vegetation growth in the ditches, ugly gouges in what were nicely owner-maintained grass verges and the murder of thousands of harmless amphibians. Is this value for taxpayer dollars? MARGARET ORMSTON, LANGLEY

has issued a masterful report on what ails Langley School District. If trustees, senior management, employees and parents go along with his suggestions, the school district could become a healthy and thriving inTRU S TEE MEGA N stitution. DY K EMA N “It starts at the top. As Doyle said in his report, “Trustees must find a way to work together.” It is no secret that the board is badly divided. It was hopelessly divided in the 2005-08 term of office, and it’s divided now. “While this is partially due to some fundamental political differences, it’s also due to personalities. There are several strong-willed trustees who feel that those with opinions that differ from theirs are not worth the time of day.” The current board has worked tirelessly to be effective, practice good governance and advocate for students and tax payers. The board has improved

community relations, worked closely with partner groups and secured three new schools for our district. The board has accomplished all of this though effective governance in the interest of the people of Langley and without turning everything into a ’three ring circus’ or a ‘side show.’ Although this may make for boring press coverage at times, fabricated controversy perpetuates a false public perception of divisiveness that does not represent the reality of the governance of education in this district today. Please re-read the motion, and if in future you have an issue, contact the trustees for clarification rather than relying on someone else’s recollection or unfounded opinion of a board meeting. I will move a motion at the next meeting to make sure you are copied on our letter to BCPSEA and the BCTF. TRUSTEE MEGAN DYKEMAN, LANGLEY BOARD OF EDUCATION Editor’s note — Thanks to Trustee Megan Dykeman for the clarification on how trustees contribute to the wording of letters from the board. However, it is important to state that The Times editorial was based on our reporter’s story from the June 2 meeting, which was based on the actual discussion of the letter at the board table.

More Willoughby destruction Editor: I recently received a notice from the Township about a open house for the latest plan for the destruction of Willoughby by developers. First, Langley Township keeps persisting in calling this area Latimer neighbourhood after the name of a Surrey pioneer. I guess the reason for this is the Township wants to keep up with the Langley School Board’s record of completely ignoring Willoughby pioneer names for the new schools thay are building in Willoughby. There are several points listed on the notice of what they want to provide. One is for the “necessary commercial support services” for the neighbourhood. Of course they are not necessary, as there are plenty of commercial support services available in Walnut Grove, the new Willoughby Town Centre and along 72 Avenue. Then it mentions “preservation of open space.” This one had me choking on my orange juice.

How does building rows of army barracks (sorry, townhouses) preserve open space? The best way for that is to just leave the area alone.They also are concerned about the area’s natural beauty. Well, the developers know how to handle that. They bulldoze houses that have been in the area, often since the 1930s and 1940s, which have character, and clearcut pioneer orchards, some of which contain fruit trees of varieties that are becoming rarer by the day. They will also clearcut stands of trees that have to be close to 100 years old so they can put up rows of look-alike houses that are, as the notice says “high quality design and architecture.” What are my feelings about the Latimer Neighbourhood Plan?In the words of the great Groucho Marx, “Whatever it is, I’m against it.” BRIAN JOHNSON, WILLOUGHBY

5-year Custom Blend Mortgage

Big changes loom at Fraser Health Authority JEFF NAGEL Black Press

5 9 2% blended * rate

Dr. Nigel Murray has stepped down as president and CEO of Fraser Health amid an extensive review that is expected to soon bring significant changes to the health region. Murray served as the top administrator at Fraser for seven years and cited family reasons for returning to New Zealand, where he is in the running for a similar job. No severance will be paid out because he’s resigning. Dr. David Ostrow, the former CEO of Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, takes over as interim CEO of Fraser Health. The announcement is the latest shakeup at Fraser, where the former board chair David Mitchell was removed in April by the provincial government. The board has since been chaired by Wynne Powell, the longtime board chair of the Provincial Health Services Authority who also chairs B.C. Emergency Services. Powell said the strategic review committee is finalizing its recommendations for improvements at Fraser. He wouldn’t reveal details of the findings but suggested they point mainly to smarter use of Fraser’s budget allocation. “The conclusion they came to is funding is not the major is-

Teachers will strike on Friday MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

Talk to us today about Custom Blend Mortgages—created by you, for you.

It will be a long weekend for Langley students this week. The teachers’ strike continues this week, with Langley school district behind picket lines on Friday, June 13. In the meantime, the B.C. Teachers Federation is saying it is running out of strike pay for teachers. Teachers voted yesterday (Monday) and continue to vote today on whether they

would like to step up job action, including a full strike. Teachers have promised to give parents 72 hours notice. The district said that students’ report cards will be given out, but they will not look anything like the ones they are used to. Provincial exams will go ahead but may be supervised by administrators. And summer sessions are still planned to go ahead.

The Labour Relations Board ruled in favour of the government docking 10 per cent pay to teachers for not doing all their duties, even though it is the government that has locked out the teachers before and after school. Meanwhile, some Langley students are saying they have been penalized by teachers. Some have been given zeros on papers and projects handed in Continued, Page 14

Plus, we weren’t against the teachers in the protest,” she said. All students were marked as absent and their parents were phoned, confirmed Langley School District. But some students are saying they have been suspended. Some students say they were yelled at and berated by principals and teachers for walking out.

Nasty debate over farmland ends legislative session The BC Liberal government’s bill to divide the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones has passed, after one of the nastier exchanges I’ve seen in a decade covering the B.C. legislature. “You’re all a bunch of corrupt liars,” NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons yelled as the government cut off a long and mostly repetitious debate that dominated the final days of the legislature session. Not to be outdone, cabinet minister Bill Bennett replied to Simons’ heckle about Kootenay rancher Faye Street, one of Bennett’s most vocal supporters, as he pushed through changes to the land reserve to ease land use restrictions in rural zones. Bennett advised Simons to offer his remarks to Street in person. “She’ll kick your ass,” Bennett said. The on-the-record debate wasn’t much better. Columbia River-Revelstoke NDP MLA Norm Macdonald summed up his party’s biggest objection with his charge that “a bunch of Liberal political hacks” will be appointed to regional panels of the Agricultural Land Commission. The government’s scheme, Macdonald and other NDP critics predicted, is to unleash a flood of ALR land removals, to enrich BC Liberal supporters by allowing development on productive farmland. That might be a valid concern, but there are a couple of factual

problems. And credit also goes First, every appointto the new agriculture ment to the ALC, at the minister, Kelowna-Lake regional or provincial Country MLA Norm level, is made by the B.C.

Species at risk biologist Andrea Gielens looks over a pond in south Langley, where a small population of western painted turtles lives and nests. The native turtles are being forced out by a number of factors, she said, including the introduction of red-eared sliders — an invasive species of turtles from Florida, which are often sold as pets and then released once they grow too large.

ZOO PROJECT AIMS TO REBUILD ENDANGERED WESTERN PAINTED TURTLE POPULATION BR EN D A AND E R SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

The quiet country pond is just a short walk across a field from busy 16 Avenue in South Langley. Despite the relatively easy access, it’s quiet here on a cool, late winter morning. Even birds are scarce — perhaps frightened off by a pair of visitors. A light breeze gently ruffles the surface of the water, but it’s what Andrea Gielens knows is hidden beneath the waterline, and along the grassy banks that is making waves within the zoological community. The pond, part of Campbell Valley Park, is home to a small number of western painted turtles. Named for the colourful and elaborate markings on their undersides, the turtles, which are native to the region, are classified as a species at risk of extinction. In Washington and Oregon states as well as in B.C.’s Interior, western painted turtles populations are stable. But that is not the case here, said Gielens. In addition to the Langley park, a few individuals remain on the Sunshine Coast and at an Agassiz farm. But thanks to the introduction of another, more aggressive species of turtle — the red-eared slider — the number of western painted turtles in coastal populations has dwindled to the point that human intervention has been deemed necessary. Gielens, a biologist who specializes in species at risk, is employed by Guelph, Ontario-based Wildlife Preservation Canada. She is currently working at the Greater Vancouver Zoo in Aldergrove — about a mile from where she grew up — on an ambitious project which aims to return 73 juvenile western

painted turtles to the wild later this summer. For now, the turtles are being kept in black plastic tubs inside a small heated barn at the zoo, where they were hatched last August. Since then, their only job has been to eat and grow large enough to be released safely into the wild. Normally, the turtles would hibernate, frozen solid through the winter, but if these creatures had been left to do that, “chances are a lot wouldn’t survive,” Gielens said. Rather than risk losing more of the already endangered hatchlings, the turtles were brought indoors and kept awake through the winter, being fed spongey cubes of minced seafood, fortified with a calcium supplement. Once a week, they gobble down a treat of crickets, mealworms, bloodworms and brine shrimp. Gielens and her colleagues — two Greater Vancouver Zoo employees — share the duties of caring for their tiny reptilian charges. The project is modeled closely on a successful program that has been going on in the U.S. for the past 20 years. The results of that study have given Gielens reason to be optimistic. “They found that released turtles lay eggs and have offspring at the same rate as wild turtles,” she said. The juveniles will be released in August, when they have reached at least 30 grams. More than 90 per cent are expected to survive. Gielens is currently working with Metro Vancouver for permits to release the turtles at the same Agassiz farm where the eggs were collected as well as into the pond at Campbell Valley Park. There is also a plan to affix tiny transmitters to the animals “and fol-

low them around to see what kind of habitat they use.” This is the second year that the Langley biologist has worked on the project. Last year, a dozen eggs were retrieved from a beach on the Sunshine Coast — one that is popular with both people and their dogs — and brought to the zoo. “If we had left them there (on the beach) to hatch they were unlikely to have survived,” said Gielens. “Someone was going to step on them.” A third batch of eggs has already been collected. It is anticipated that they will hatch this August and be ready for release in the summer of 2015. All 12 of last year’s eggs hatched and were successfully returned to the spot from which they were taken. They’re being monitored and are doing well, said Gielens. “Immediately after they were released, they began eating. They knew what they were looking for,” she said. “At one site, we had a bit of a National Geographic moment.” Near the spot where the juveniles were introduced, there were a number of adults basking. The young turtles swam over to meet the resident adults and they all swam off together. “It was a real Disney moment,” she laughed. Unlike a Disney movie, however, there is no guarantee of a happy ending for the western painted turtle. Both the eggs and hatchlings are vulnerable to everything from human activity to animal predation, to vegetation. In addition to the danger of nests being stepped on or dug up, the roots Continued Page 17

Stopping sales of invasive species is key to painted turtles’ recovery From Page 1

of fast-growing invasive plants can actually grow right through the eggs, or even newly hatched turtles, which are packed together tightly and remain motionless during hibernation. Poaching of nesting females can also be a problem. Another reason biologists speculate that turtle populations are declining is that urban growth is forcing them out of their natural habitat, leaving fewer and fewer places that are suitable for nesting and basking. One of the greatest threats to the western painted turtle’s survival, however, is competition from red-eared sliders. Named for the characteristic red stripe along the sides of their heads, the breed most commonly sold as pets, are not native to B.C. and therefore are classified as an invasive species. Cute and small, turtles theoretically make great starter pets for children. What people don’t think about when they buy the tiny turtles, said Gielens, is that they will grow. “They get big and smelly and bite-y,” she said. “I’ve had a turtle take a chunk out of my hand the size of a quarter — that’s less adorable.” Add to that, the fact turtles can live upward of 50 years in captivity, and it becomes more of a commitment than most people are willing to make. Once the novelty wears off, the unwanted pets are often dumped into the closest pond where, biologists recently discovered, they are beginning to successfully breed. When red-eared sliders are captured, they are

humanely destroyed. It’s unfortunate, but there’s no choice, said Gielens. Most have developed respiratory problems because they are not suited to a cool, damp climate like B.C.’s. “They came from Florida. They can live here, but it’s not good for them.” The best solution, rather than having to euthanize them, is to simply decrease the number of turtles being sold and subsequently released into the wild, said Gielens. She approached the City of Langley earlier this year and asked them to consider passing a bylaw to prevent the sale of turtles and turtle eggs at local pet stores. “We’re trying to go after every municipality,” she said. “We have a generally good idea where the pet stores are that are non-compliant.” The sale of turtles falls under the federal wildlife act, but having locally enforceable regulations in place can only help reduce the numbers of red-eared sliders in the wild, Gielens explained during her presentation to the City. Council declined to pass a bylaw, opting instead to change its business licences to include a ban on the sale of both turtles and their eggs. The only pet store within City limits — PetSmart — indicated that it does not sell either. Gielens would have preferred a bylaw, but said awareness is one of the main goals of the western painted turtle rehabilitation program. “It’s getting the public to know that 99 per cent of the time, when they see a turtle at a pet store, they’re illegal,” she said. “If not, they’re likely endangered.”

NEWS & VIEWS PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE For the 4th year in a row, your Co-op showed record sales and surpassed the previous year by approximately $5 million, with year-end sales of $171,954,134. Equity and cash payments to members for the year ending February 28, 2014, will amount to $5,679,000. The ﬁnancial statement was one of the main items on the agenda at the Annual General Meeting on Thursday, May 29. Approximately 200 members and guests heard Reports from the Controller, General Manager, and President, all telling a very positive story. It was also announced that just shy of 3000 people became members of the Otter Co-op in the last ﬁscal year, each paying a $10 lifetime membership fee whereby they can now accrue equity in the Co-op and receive cash back on their purchases based on the year from March 1st. – February 28th. This happens by being a supporter of all that the Co-op offers, be it food, hardware, fuel, or feed. We opened our sixth gas bar in Hatzic in 2013 and also took over a Feed Mill in Armstrong, which will complement our Feed Mill on 248th Street. Also announced, and opening in early Fall 2014, will be a new Petroleum Facility at Chilliwack which will include a 24 hour cardlock, convenience store, bulk fuel depot, oil and lubricant warehouse, and gas station. During our AGM, Otter Co-op presented seven Grade 12 scholarships, and two mature scholarships. We are also a Community Builder, giving in excess of $100,000 to sports teams, school functions, and many community-oriented events. Our management team is always aware, and on the lookout for what might be a good mix for what the Co-op can offer to its members. Times change and so do we. An election saw current board member Dick Mayer re-elected to the Board, and newly elected were Martin Power and Kent Strobel all for a three year term. And to our entire team here at the Coop, I must say thank-you. This is how our Co-op works – through co-operation. It is mentioned elsewhere in our newsletter about upcoming events. Be sure to mark your calendar to attend throughout the summer and don’t forget our Equity Days September, 18, 19, and 20 where you can come and pick up equity statements and cheques. To all, have a safe and happy summer, and remember our slogan “You’re At Home Here”.

Kids’ Club Easter Party

Joining GM One-to-One

SERVING OUR COMMUNITY It was another fun filled Easter Party with approximately 500 Kids’ Club Members and their families in attendance. The ever popular petting zoo put on by Langley Beef & Swine Club was a busy spot as was the horse and wagon rides by Rocking Horse Carriage from Aldergrove. Madame Butterfly created balloon art along with other face painters and entertainers. Additionally there was cupcake decorating, popcorn and many game stations with a prize at every booth. If you know someone that has not yet reached their twelfth birthday and is not a Kids’ Club Member have them come to the administration office or sign up online and join today. Benefits include a cookie on every visit to the store as well as a treat from the cashiers goodie container. All Kids’ Club events are free to attend!

HOLLY LINGEL Holly joined Otter in 1998 as a Gas Bar Manager. Her previous experience in the petroleum industry saw her career progress from the position of Convenience Retail Manager to the role of gas bar owner and contract operator prior to joining the CRS. Since 1998, Holly has continued to advance her career with Otter as the Tempo and Commercial Petroleum Sales Co-ordinator, a role she held until 2003. In her current role as Gas Bar Operations Manager, Holly excels in her ability to train and develop her team—both being key components to the success of Otters aggressive growth strategy. With Holly’s drive to constantly learn and grow her decision to apply for General Manager One-to-One training was no surprise. An outstanding recommendation from her General Manager, demonstrated leadership skills, operational knowledge, as well as her exceptional people skills made Holly an ideal ﬁt for the training program. Everyone at Otter will miss Holly but wish her success in her new role as a GM One-to-One trainee which she started on June 2 at Wetaskiwin Alberta.

JELLY BEAN GUESS WINNER Owen King, had the closest guess and won the Jelly Bean Guess Contest. Great job Owen!

The 2nd Annual two day car show turned out to be another great success. This show is sponsored by Central Fraser Valley Chapter V.C.C. and Otter Co-op. We look forward to our 3rd Annual show on Sunday, April 26, 2015. The car club held their last meeting before the summer on Wednesday, June 4 and invited Otter Co-op representatives Kelsey Vurdela (Marketing Co-ordinator) and Merilee McAuley (Ex. Assist. To the General Manager) and presented them with a plaque of appreciation. They also served an Otter Coop made cake. We look forward to another great show in 2015!

Happy Father’s Day from our Family to Yours!

A perfect day Fishing with Daddy My favourite thing to do with my daddy is to go fishing. Some days after work we go to Stokes Pit or Trinity Western University and go fishing for a couple hours. I love learning to fish with my daddy.

At JD Farms, we produce fresh, wholesome turkey products that are free of antibiotics and animal by-products – a healthy choice for your family.

Boating with Daddy My favourite thing to do with Daddy is to go for a fast boat ride!

Love to go Sturgeon Fishing with my Dad on the Fraser River.

Masen (1 year 6 months old in the picture) thinks his daddy is the funniest person around. The moment his dad walks in the room, he is all smiles and immediately has a jokester attitude just like his dad, Ryan. When they aren't joking around and laughing, their favourite thing to do together is play catch!

My favourite thing to do with my Dad is our annual father-son road trip, which have been steadily evolving and becoming more elaborate over the last 10 years.

Daddy’s Girl from Day One I've determined that there isn't anything my dad can't build or fix. He has an extensive workshop and the right took for even the most specific task. He's helped me refinish an old BBQ, my bike, some bookshelves, and my dining room set. I love spending an afternoon at his house, working on projects together!

Parental pressures weigh on kids CHILDREN FEELING EFFECTS OF FINANCIAL AND TIME STRESSES FACED BY MOM AND DAD MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

The generation raising kids today is squeezed so thin, in terms of both time and money, that the stresses parents face are impacting their children’s emotional development, according to recently-released research findings. Families of yesteryear were much better off financially than families today and the simpler, slower-paced lifestyle was good for kids, says Langley’s Early Learning Committee (LELC). “There are a lot of middle class children who are considered vulnerable,” said Karen Abrahamson, a University of B.C. Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP) community trainer who sits on the LELC. “We are seeing a lot of stressed families,” she said. The result is too many kids are arriving in Kindergarten emotionally not ready, according to findings from the Early Development Indicators (EDI) index. The 2013 EDI data was gathered in March. It found that the number of vulnerable children in some parts of Langley was considerably higher than the B.C. average of 33. 1 per cent. The figure is 48 per cent in Aldergrove. The LELC presented the findings to the Board of Education at a recent meeting. The information about Langley children is gathered by Kindergarten teachers who volunteer to answer around 100 questions about their students’ cognitive, social, physical well being and behaviour. Conducted every few years in school districts across Canada, the results give some idea of how kids are doing and where their vulnerabilities lie. This data helps to know where to increase support and services. A then-and-now comparison by HELP shows that 30 years ago the median national income was $65,000. That was when only 54 per cent of women were in the labour force and the average house price (1976) was $192,390. Fast forward to 2010, the median household income (two incomes factored in) and the earnings sat at $68,580 — only $3,500 more than families earned 30 years ago. When the cost of living is factored in, it has skyrocketed for everything, especially housing, which averages at more than $500,000 for a single-family house in Langley. That means an unsustainable future, say UBC HELP researchers. A recent study by the Royal Bank said Metro Vancouver home owners are using up to 80 per cent of their income to pay for housing. The Fraser Institute found that a family in B.C. earning $94,000 pays $40,000 to taxes. It’s becoming a financial strain that is filtering down onto children. There is an explosion of Kindergarten-aged children with anxiety, others with behaviour and aggression issues and some who are unable to share or function socially with their peers. The committee said that parents’ financial stresses, combined with the busyness of two working parents living in an achievement-based society, leads to some kids not being emotionally or socially developed by the time they enter Kindergarten. Both parents work full-time, hav-

There is pressure on families to take children to things, rather than spend quiet times at home. KAREN ABRAHAMSON

DAN FER GUSON Langley Time s

Parents are facing more pressure than ever when it comes to both their finances and the busy schedules that eat into family time. The effect is that children are reacting to that stress by becoming anxious and, at times, aggressive, according to recent studies. ing to pay for daycare, and cover a large mortgage and debt load. The pressure spills over to the children, Abrahamson said. An April 28 report indicates that the costs of raising a family in B.C. are rising fast and dangerously. Both parents have to make a minimum of $20 an hour in order to avoid poverty, based on having two kids, one in daycare and one in before/ after school care. Childcare costs are the second biggest expense for a family, behind housing. Many social groups are calling for $10/ day daycare to help improve the living wage. Families are also busier than ever. Many

parents rush home from work and let their toddler or young children play on a tablet or video games while they make dinner. Parents then schedule numerous costly activities because they feel guilty, said Abrahamson. “There is pressures on families to take children to things rather than spend quiet times at home,” she said. Children are coming to Kindergarten showing aggression towards themselves and others. The prevalence of children with anxiety is concerning and mostly a direct result of bubble wrap parenting, said LELC. “These children aren’t able to cope, they break down with even little changes that

happen during the school day,” said Abrahamson. Cora Boecker, of Langley Child Development Centre, said too many parents are focusing on making sure their child can count and do the alphabet by the time they arrive for Kindergarten. “What we really need is for preschool-aged children to know how to play with others. They need social and emotional learning,” said Boecker. That means letting them play, explore, and be creative. This is lacking for children of today, said Boecker, Abrahamson and Bernice Way, children and family program co-ordinator from Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services. All of them sit on the Langley ELC. “Parents are scheduling their children’s free time into every class and sport and it turns into very structured play, leaving little room for the imagination of the child,” said Abrahamson. It also means risky play, like climbing a tree or playing in the front yard without supervision, is something many parents of this generation aren’t willing to allow, said research. Helicopter and bubble wrap parenting is creating children who are highly anxious and unable to handle conflict and disappointment because they have been protected from that their whole lives, said the research findings. HELP’s research team, headed by the work of Dr. Paul Kershaw, has created a proposal sent to the federal government called “A New Deal For Families” that is built on a foundation of scientific evidence about the importance of the early years. HELP proposes that maternity leave should be more accessible to both parents and should be extended from one year to 18 months. They are also in favour of $10 a day high quality, accessible child care services for all who need them; flexible working hours offered by employers to allow parents to balance the demands of work and home life. The research done by the UBC team says the family structure as it stands today is in a form of crisis and needs to be remedied. This is the first of a series of stories about the challenges of raising children today. The second in the series will explore how the lack of unsupervised outdoor play has hurt children’s brain development.

Langley’s Robyn and Ryleigh on short list for Cannes competition Langley sisters Robyn and Ryleigh Gillespie have carved out quite a name for themselves in the country music scene, but this time their music is setting the tone for the film Heart of Dance in which the girls also appear as actors. The film is currently competing in the Let’s Make A Movie contest in which film trailers are voted on by the general public to receive funding and be screened at Cannes. If Heart of Dance gets the top vote the sisters could be on a plane to Cannes for the film premiere. With it’s strong message and broad audience range Heart of Dance is projected to have a good shot at winning if it makes it to a top-five spot via the public’s votes. Partial proceeds will be donated to B.C. charity Looking Glass Foundation which helps youth suffering from negative body image and eating disorders — the issue at the centre of the film. Speaking as two young women, in a society that has become far too focused on appearances and the “number” on a scale, the sisters said they feel that the message that Scarlett Bruns brings to light in her story Heart of Dance is important to share. The film has already garnered plenty of press internationally with it’s lead actress, writer and producer Scarlett Bruns having been listed in the Cannes Film Festival ‘ones to watch’ which annually selects actors world wide that are expected to

become house hold names for their strong contribution to the film industry. Ryleigh already has quite the acting resume, including roles on the CW’s The Tomorrow People and Supernatural and the comedy series Level Up. “It’s exciting to work on a feature film because the process is different from TV,” she said. “Film has the ability to tell a story and send a wider message than TV because there is more time to develop the characters, which Heart of Dance does beautifully.” Last year Robyn, the writer of the duo met with Bruns to lay down the logistics of writing music for film. “I wrote a song, Help Me With The Break, which reflects the story line and will be featured as the title track. Writing for film is very different for me as the lyrics and build of the music has to match with what is happening on screen,” said Robyn. Bruns only has good things to say about the duo. “They are incredibly talented and each bring so much to their songs. Music is such an important part in the storyline and we are very excited to be working with Robyn and Ryleigh on the film soundtrack and on set.” Local votes are critical to the film’s success. The public can view the trailer and cast their vote by email registration until July 23. To vote for the film visit www.letsmakeamovie.ca/watch/ heart-of-dance.

Daughters? Better get a gun then, eh? Am I the only father to have heard that line? After 10 years, I still hear it several times a week.

Mets draft Blaze’s Horne G A RY A HUJA Time s Spo rts

Pho to c o u rte s y o f B as eball C anada

Langley Blaze’s Mitchell Robinson, who was in the Dominican Republic with the Canadian junior national team last month, was drafted by the Miami Marlins on Satuday in Major League Baseball’s first-year player draft. And Blaze teammate Kurtis Horne was taken in the 31st round by the New York Mets.

‘Dream come true’ for Robinson

G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Spo r ts

Mitchell Robinson’s coach calls him ‘old-man Robo.’ The nickname stems from the fact just how much Robinson has changed in the three years since he joined the Langley Blaze. “I nicknamed him that because he looks like a man (now),” said Jamie Bodaly, the coach of the U18 Premier baseball team. “He was just this fresh-faced kid; he even sounded like a kid. “Now, he could pass off as a 24-year-old or something.” But Robinson, who is now sixfoot-three and 200 pounds, has developed — both physically and as a player. And on Saturday, the first step towards a childhood dream came true as Robinson was selected in Major League Baseball’s first-year player draft. The Miami Marlins picked Robinson in the 22nd round of the 40-round draft. “It has been a huge goal and a dream (to get drafted),” the 18-yearold said. “Getting drafted is something that motivates a lot of players. “It is a huge accomplishment and very rewarding for all the hard work

I have put in.” Robinson was one of two members of the Blaze to get selected as the New York Mets took his teammate, left-handed pitcher Kurtis Horne in the 31st round (see side story). Robinson knew the Marlins were interested as he had spoken to one of their area scouts multiple times. Last year, he hit .366 with 34 RBIs in 45 games and in his first year at the Premier level, he hit .327 with 16 RBIs in 38 games. The third-baseman is hitting .321 (second on the team) with nine RBIs in 21 games. “I think I have come a long way in the past couple of years,” he said. “I think I provide power in the line-up and can be a game-changing hitter.” And it is Robinson’s bat which provides the biggest impact from his game. “He is a kid who has played hard to get to where he is,” said Greg Hamilton, the long-time coach of Canada’s junior national team program. “Physically, he is a big strong kid. Strong arm, some thump in his bat.” Robinson has been on the Baseball Canada radar since Grade 10. He was cut the first year, was a role player on last year’s squad, and a

big contributor this spring. The team was in the Dominican Republic last month for their annual trip. “Getting the chance to represent your country and wearing Canada on the chest, that is a huge honour,” he said. “And with that is great exposure and great experiences. “It was really special.” “To his credit, Mitchell has stuck with it and dealt with the adversity of not making it as a very young player,” Hamilton said. “Often times it is a step or two backwards in order to go two or three forward. He has done that.” “The game will deal you a hand of adversity at some point and time,” the coach added. “Most have to deal with that (and) he has been very mature with how he has handled every aspect of his development.” Robinson said getting cut from the Canadian team two years ago wasn’t much of a surprise considering his age. Instead, he used it as a learning experience. “I was still pretty young and developing,” he admitted. “It was my first taste and I learned a little about what it was all about.” Robinson knew he had to put in the work to get bigger and stronger.

“(Getting cut) drove me to work harder and get better,” he said. His work ethic is a major part of his success. “He has got great make-up, a real character kid, hard-working, real hungry and focused,” Hamilton said. “He is pretty much the whole package,” added Bodaly. “He does a lot of things right. “And he is a very humble kid, down to earth, quiet, not a rah-rah type, but a leader by example. “The kids look up to him.” Now comes the next chapter in Robinson’s baseball career. Robinson, who is set to graduate from Clayton Heights Secondary later this month, has a four-year scholarship offer to Florida International University. If he attends university, Robinson would be re-eligible for the draft following his junior season. Or he can turn pro and sign with the Marlins and go into the team’s farm system. He can’t make a decision until after he graduates. “I am excited with moving forward with whatever path I choose,” Robinson said. “I just love to play. No matter what happens (next), I will just go about my business and play the game.”

There was little surprise when the New York Mets selected Kurtis Horne on the third day of Major League Baseball’s first-year player draft on Saturday. The suspense was gone as Horne’s advisor had texted him to tell him in the 29th round that the Mets planned to select the left-handed pitcher very soon. And sure enough, in the 31st round, they did just that, grabbing the Langley Blaze southpaw. “It has been my dream since I started playing baseball,” said Horne, a six-foot-five, 195-pound pitcher, about getting drafted and potentially one day playing professionally. He turns 18 in the beginning of August. Now comes the hard part: accepting what the Mets offer to turn pro or going to New Mexico Junior College for at least one season. Junior college players are eligible every year in the draft. “I am stuck right now on what I should do,” he admitted. “I know I can get better with a year of experience at school.” Horne is in his first season with Langley, albeit in a limited role. He has pitched twice this season — he missed the majority of April and May while playing for Canada’s junior national team program — and is 1-0 with a 1.07 earned run average. He has eight strikeouts in 13 innings. Horne, who is from Sooke, played for the Victoria Eagles in 2013, going 3-1 with a 2.00 ERA and 30 strikeouts in 35 innings. Horne describes himself as a fastball dominant pitcher, with a decent offspeed pitch.

Langley Thunder’s Clay Forber tracks the ball during his team’s game against the Maple Ridge Burrards on May 25 at the Langley Events Centre. The intermediate Thunder are having a tough season with a 1-11 record.

Gators’ Cohee in camp with Canada Jadon Cohee is one of 21 players competing for a roster spot on Canada’s junior men’s national team. Cohee, the standout guard with the Walnut Grove Gators basketball program, is at the camp being held at Toronto’s Humber College. Camp began June 6 and a dozen players will make the Canadian team following the nine-day camp.

That team will compete at the 2014 FIBA Americas U18 championship, which will be held in Colorado Springs, Colo. The eight-country tournament also features the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Uruguay. The top four qualify for the 2015 FIBA U19 world championships in Greece.

“We have a tough task ahead of us, but I believe in the strength, ability and commitment of the group that we have assembled,” said Canadian coach Roy Rana. “With the majority of this year’s athletes being new to the international game, our focus is on development with the goal of qualifying for Greece.”

The Langley Thunder have turned things around from an early-season slump, winning three straight following an 0-3 start to the season. The senior A lacrosse team beat the Coquitlam Adanacs 13-10 on June 4 at the Langley Events Centre and followed that up with a 12-8 win over the Burnaby Lakers on June 6 at the Bill Copeland Arena. The victories improve Langley to 3-3 as the Western Lacrosse Association season hits the one-third mark of its 18-game schedule. Against Coquitlam, the Thunder erupted for nine goals in the middle period, erasing a 4-2 deficit. Alex Turner (two goals, six assists), Athan Iannucci (one goal, five assists) and Tom Johnson (four goals) keyed the attack while junior A callup James Rahe — who leads the Langley Junior Thunder in scoring this season — chipped in with three goals and an assist. Brodie MacDonald stopped 36 shots as Coquitlam out-shot Langley 46-39. Against Burnaby two nights later, the teams were tied at four early in the second period when Langley scored three straight goals to take the lead for good. And once again, it was Iannucci and Turner leading the way as they combined for five goals and 11 points. MacDonald stopped 41 shots for the win. Langley will look to make it four wins in a row as they host the unbeaten Victoria Shamrocks (40-1) on June 11 at the LEC. Game time is 7:45 p.m.

Cohee, who graduates from Walnut Grove Secondary this month, is off to Seattle University next season on a basketball scholarship. He finished his high school career third all-time on the scoring list at the B.C. high school 4A provincial championships. He was also named most valuable player in 2013 in helping the Gators capture the provincial title.

Four-game sweep for Junior Blaze over A’s The Langley Junior Blaze bounced back from a rare defeat — they have lost just two games all season — to sweep a four-game set over the visiting Okanagan Junior Athletics. All four games were played at McLeod Park on Saturday and Sunday (June 7 and 8) with Langley winning by scores of 8-2, 8-2, 7-6 and 7-0. The victories improved the U16 baseball team to a league-best 21-2. The first game saw Langley break open a 3-1 game with a five-run fifth inning, highlighted by a two-run single from Yi-An Pan. Jake Polancic picked up the win with a complete game, allowing two runs over the seven innings. He struck out seven. Langley had another five-run inning in the second game, this time in the fourth, to break open a 1-0 game. The Blaze also capitalized on four Athletics errors to win 8-2. Aiden Mordecai struck out 10 and was one out away from a shutout before allowing a pair of runs. Cole Cantelon keyed the offence with three hits — including a triple — two RBIs and two runs scored. He also reached base all five times he went to bat as he also drew a pair of walks. Sunday’s first game required extra innings after the Athletics erased a 5-2 deficit, but in the bottom of the eighth inning, Cantelon scored on an error for the winning run in the 8-7 Blaze victory. Jaron Jeske earned the win, pitching two and one-thirds innings of relief.

And the weekend concluded with Zachary Davies striking out 10 over five and two-thirds innings in a 7-0 shutout victory. Matthew Poirier drove in a pair of runs. Langley is on the road June 11 at Abbotsford’s Delair Park to face the second-place Junior Cardinals (16-6). ••• Shane Kraemer struck out four of the five batters he faced to pick up the save as the Langley Senior Blaze edged the Coquitlam Angels 2-1. The two Pacific Metro Baseball League rivals squared off at McLeod Park on June 5. Langley trailed 1-0 until the bottom of the fifth inning when Brad Ferraro’s double scored Jovan Ewusie from third base. And two batters later, Louis Boyd’s single scored Ferraro for the winning run. Ryan Eiswerth picked up the win, allowing one run on five hits while striking out five over five and one-third innings. The win improved the Blaze to 2-0 as in the league-opener on June 3, Jesse Peters threw a complete game with eight strikeouts and Bobby Wagner drove in a pair of runs in a 3-1 victory over the Burnaby Bulldogs 3-1. Langley hosts the Burnaby Collegiate Bulldogs on June 10 at McLeod Park in Pacific International League play. The Blaze are 0-2 in the PIL. First pitch is at 7 p.m.

Blaze split SPL debut The Langley Blaze’s initial foray into the Seattle Premier League produced mixed results as the U18 baseball team debuted with a 2-2 weekend. Langley split both of their doubleheaders, beating Narrows Baseball 10-2 in the opener at Gig Harbor High School on Saturday, before losing the rematch 9-5. And on Sunday at Edmonds Community College, the Blaze triumphed 22-12 in the opener but fell 8-4 in game two to the Seattle Stars. The Stars lead the league at 6-2 while Narrows Baseball is second at 5-2. Eight teams play in the league. Langley leads the B.C. Premier Baseball League with a 24-5 record.
