LETTER TO LANGLEY CITY COUNCIL CA LLS FOR LIMIT MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
During the past six months, the number of pharmacies in the City of Langley has reportedly climbed from three to 12, with another one on the way. In a city of four-square miles, the proliferation of drug stores in the downtown core is raising alarm bells, with some speculating that many are methadone maintenance clinics, calling themselves pharmacies. At their July 7 meeting, Langley City council members, including Teri James, who is also the executive director of the Downtown Langley Business Association, received a letter from DLBA members, signed by the association’s chairperson, Sonya Perkins, asking that council consider regulating pharmacies. The letter states that many downtown business owners have witnessed the dispensing of methadone in several of these new pharmacies and most believe that is why so many have come to the City. They feel it’s a trend that isn’t going to stop. Dispensing methadone
can be a lucrative business for pharmacies. A methadone prescription is given to heroin addicts who replace that drug with liquid methadone. Most people using methadone take it daily, and for each time they take it the pharmacy can make around $20 per methadone user. From the government, through PharmaCare, a pharmacy recieves a dispensing fee plus a fee for watching the person ingest it. According to a 2011-12 report from the Provincial Health Officer, the number of pharmacies dispensing methadone has more than doubled in B.C. since 2001-02 — when the government made changes to PharmaCare coverage of methadone. In their letter, the DLBA expresses fears that Langley City will become a hub for methadone dispensing in the Lower Mainland. They recognize the need for methadone treatment as a vital service in the community, but believe there are already more than enough in place to serve the City’s needs, the letter reads.

‘Bad Ass’ Barry McQuarrie made a brief court appearance on Monday, faced with numerous charges, including first degree murder, in connection with the shooting death of his ex-girlfriend’s boyfriend at a Cloverdale townhome. McQuarrie is also charged with operating a vehicle while disqualified, theft of a motor vehicle, theft over $5,000 and breach of probation. McQuarrie was captured while hiding in a Langley home owner’s garage after two months of being on the run from police. The home owner did not know McQuarrie. McQuarrie was arrested by officers of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team along with Langley RCMP, the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team, RCMP helicopter Air One and a police dog team. He was charged with first degree murder in the May death of Gregory Quesnelle, 32, originally from southern Ontario. On Monday, May 12, just before midnight, RCMP responded to a report of a man being shot at a home near 176 Street and 57 Avenue. Continued Page 5

A break for RV owners
Closed for Repairs
TOWNSHIP ALLOWS TWO MORE MONTHS OF HOME PARKING DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
B R ENDA ANDER S ON L an gley Time s
An Abbotsford municipal worker barricades a section of River Road after it gave way on Thursday afternoon. The collapse happened just east of the border with Langley Township. According to reports, the large section of road crumbled immediately after a vehicle crossed over it and just as a motorcyclist was approaching. No one was injured. The road is expected to remain closed between 272 Street and Lefeuvre Road for an extended period of time.
Recreational vehicle owners in Langley Township will be allowed two more months to park outside their homes. The change was approved by council at the Monday afternoon (July 14) meeting after a staff report suggested extending the permitted residential parking period. The allowable dates were between May 15 and Sept. 15, but since most storage lots bill on the first of the month, RV owners were paying for four weeks of parking that they didn’t need, the report by bylaws manager Bill Storie said. Storie proposed changing the dates to between May 1 and Sept. 30. Councillor Kim Richter proposed extending the dates yet another month so that RV owners could park their rigs near their homes beginning April 1. “[Some] people like to start camping as early as the Easter Long weekend,” Richter said. The change was quickly approved by a majority of council. The new April 1 to Sept. 30 dates are now in effect. The Township tightened RV parking rules in 2011, only allowing them in front yards if they are at least 1.6 metres from the property line and only during camping season. The rest of the time, owners must store their vehicles off their properties, or within the “side or rear confines” of their property as set out in the bylaw.

Three people who spoke in favor of a proposed rental apartment building in Murrayville at a Monday evening (July 14) public hearing on the project all asked to remain anonymous. The speakers backed the Kelson Investments Ltd. plan to build a 105-suite rental building on 1.68 acres of land near 49 Avenue and 220 Street, but didn’t want their names on the record.

proposed the first time out. There were also several written submissions to council predicting the introduction of “transient tenants” into a neighborhood where everyone owns their house or condominium suite would be a “blight” with “renters who come and go, and who may not take pride in their rental units or the surrounding Murrayville area” and have “little pride in home ownership” to quote some of the messages. Other writers expressed concern about the impact of higher density housing on traffic
and property values in the neighbourhood. Kelson sent a delegation to council to say the building would address a need for rental accommodation in Langley, and was aimed at “high-end” tenants. Kelson president Ron Fawcett said his Kamloops-based firm has plenty of experience managing and maintaining thousands of rental suites throughout B.C. “We have 40-year-old buildings and they’re in great shape,” Fawcett said. Council will vote on the proposal at an upcoming meeting.

Critics were OK with their names being used. Dennis Townshend questioned part of the plan that would have the builder fund an overhaul of a nearby children’s water park. He later told The Times the new rental proposal was actually the second attempt at building a rental unit on the site, and considerably bigger than the 87-unit building

Crime rates top of mind for Langley City residents From Page 1
James made a motion to draft appropriate zoning bylaw/business licences to regulate or restrict pharmacies in the City. The DLBA said with so many methadone clinics it is likely the City will continue to see an increase in loitering, drug use as well as a growing homeless population and illegal drug activity. The City just approved spending almost $90,000 to beef up security at Innes Corners plaza because the amount of drug dealing and buying has grown out of control. James told council she was recently approached to buy drugs in the plaza in the middle of the day. “I will support the motion, but I disagree with the numbers,� said City councillor
Rosemary Wallace at the meeting. “It bothers me that we have to get to this place (where we are) making this motion.� Rather than simply try to push people out of the City, she said, government should be trying to fix the root problem. “This is a provincial issue. We need prevention. Until we find a way to help people, we’re not going to get anywhere.� The Downtown Surrey BIA has recently been experiencing the same sharp increase in these types of pharmacies popping up in their downtown core. They are also currently working with their mayor and council to regulate pharmacies. In downtown Whalley there are around 20 pharmacies, many of those dispensing methadone.
Langley RCMP Const. Craig van Herk said he remembers working in Surrey when the number of pharmacies in Whalley climbed from two to 12. Along with the increase in pharmacies, came an increase in the number of pawn shops, he said. In a later interview, acting mayor Ted Schaffer said he didn’t really notice how many pharmacies had popped up in the City until this was brought to his attention. “As a council we are looking to get more information, to see what the issues are, to speak further with the DLBA and the B.C. College of Pharmacies,� said Schaffer. “Not only as a council, but as a community, you want to make sure there is an issue. Is there more than there should be? What is the right number?�

As acting mayor he said he hasn’t had a single call or comment about the growing number of pharmacies, but he gets plenty of comments and concerns from the public about crime. “Crime is high on people’s mind, and as a council we are trying hard to make sure this is a safe place for people to live and move to,� said Schaffer. To that end, the City has hired a bylaw officer to work Saturday nights in the downtown core and two retired RCMP officers are contracted to work when needed in the downtown area, in the evenings. With council meetings adjourning for the summer on July 21, the issues of pharmacies and zoning won’t be addressed until at least September, said Schaffer.

One-person protest against tree cut D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
A Langley resident was so distressed to learn a large tree would be chopped down next to her home that she staged a brief sit-in Monday morning (July 21). Ann-Michelle Dereus says she sat next to the tree in a vacant lot beside her home for about an hour, arguing with the crew clearing the lot until a supervisor arrived and told her she was trespassing, which was when she left. “I don’t want to break the law,” said Dereus, who said she acted out of frustration because she couldn’t convince the crew to spare one large older tree near the back of the lot in the 3400
block of 198 Street. “It was my first sit-in and I hope it’s my last.” Dereus said she understands the owner of the property has the right to clear the site, but she was hoping to talk the workers into preserving the one tree. A recently-passed Township tree-protection bylaw that restricts tree cutting in Brookswood doesn’t apply to the site, because the property is located just outside the area covered by the regulations. The site is zoned for single-family housing, identical to the other houses on the block. At press time, attempts to contact the owner had not been successful.
Suspect goes by multiple aliases From Page 1
Quesnelle was found injured in the townhome and was taken to hospital, where he died of his wounds. Shortly after that, police identified McQuarrie as a suspect. Later a man called CTV News claiming to be McQuarrie. He denied killing Quesnelle, but admitted they were at odds over a woman and he had pepper sprayed his rival in self-de-
fence days before the murder. “I didn’t go back and kill him,” the man said. “I just want them [the police] to know I’m not armed and dangerous. I’m not trying to hurt anyone. I’m just trying to stay out of jail.” He said he planned on keeping his freedom as long as possible. “I want to enjoy as much of the summer as I possibly can,”
the man said. “When the time comes after the summer, maybe I’ll hand myself in. Maybe.” Police confirmed through surveillance footage, that he made the call from a pay phone in Aldergrove. Court records show he has a number aliases, including Nicholas Randell McQuarrie, Richard Laary, Barry Bayer, Bad Ass Barry, and just Badass.

He’s your best friend and he’s miserable without you. Besides, you’ll only be a few minutes. If life were that predictable, there might almost — almost — be an argument for bringing Fido along on a quick run to the shops on a warm July afternoon. If you knew for an absolute fact that you’d be away from your vehicle less than five minutes while you grabbed a bag of ice or maybe a six pack to help take the edge off a sweltering summer’s day, then maybe — just maybe — it would make sense to let Max hang out in the car and wait. But as most of us have hopefully figured out by the time we’re old enough to clutch a driver’s licence in our hot little hand, life rarely follows such a reliable schedule. And the number of things that can trip you up on a quick trip to the store, is far greater than the number of excuses even the most talented rationalizer could come up with for leaving a dog in a car on a hot (or moderately warm) day. You can’t predict whether you’ll end up in a long line at the cash register, behind a dozen other people who also decided a cold beer would really hit the spot. Maybe you’ll have a bit of trouble tracking down whatever it was you came looking for, or you’ll get a cashier who’s still in training. Meanwhile, back in the car, the temperature is climbing fast. And there’s nothing your little friend in the fur suit can do but sit and stew. And yet, for some reason, it just keeps on happening. Seldom does a week go by that another story doesn’t surface about passersby, somewhere in B.C., breaking a window to pull an overheated pooch from a hot car. While such parking lot vigilantism is no doubt done with the best of intentions, it has the potential to lead to some pretty ugly conflict. Happily, it looks as though a more proactive solution might be on the horizon in Langley Township. The high-profile case of six dogs that perished in the back of a dog walker’s truck last May, appears to have been the catalyst needed for council to entertain the notion of a ‘hot dog’ bylaw, which would have the municipality follow the lead set by the cities of Langley and Surrey. The City’s bylaw carries a $100 fine. In our opinion, that’s too low. Surrey’s fine, by comparison, at $500, offers five times the deterrent. If the Township expects its bylaw to have any teeth, the figure needs to be high enough to get pet owners’ attention. Like most anything designed to get people to think before they act, the key to compliance is in the threat of a painful bite out of their wallet.

Flood strategy overdue they
If the Fraser River ever were to breach its dikes in a major flood, the result would be a catastrophe of historical proportions. Up to 300,000 residents and $50 billion in development could be gravely impacted. So concludes the Fraser Basin Council, as it puts together a coalition of local and senior governments and other interests all focused on developing a strategy to protect the region from a devastating flood. It’s a laudable and entirely necessary initiative, but one which begs the question: What took so long? In 2007, the Fraser threatened to overwhelm the existing dikes, which were frantically raised in some spots. Seven years later, authorities identify the need for a multi-billion-dollar regional flood protection plan – one that would coordinate efforts between communities so that the surging Fraser isn’t simply pushed from one vulnerable spot to the next along its route. Climate change and altered weather patterns didn’t begin seven years ago. Arbitrary grant applications for dike work and varied maintenance efforts from one community to the next are nothing new either. Little consensus has been reached on dredging parts of the river, which still seems to be anathema to senior government agencies. Make no mistake, a cohesive Fraser River flood protection strategy is vital. It just best not take another seven years to expedite some actual action. – Mission City Record

Perspective on Brookswood development
Editor: After reading letters to the editor, comments and Facebook posts from concerned Brookswood residents about the proposed Brookswood/Fernridge plan, I feel that some perspective is necessary. The fact that this issue has people talking and voicing their wishes and concerns about their community is a good thing. There are some exciting aspects of the plan which will create tremendous opportunity for Brookswood if they are done well and with input from the community. Understandably, the term “high density” seems to strike fear into the heart of many Brookswood residents who moved to the area because of the large lot sizes available. The highest density allowed in the plan area is land which is zoned MF2. It should be noted that the MF2 designation does not allow for anything more than 4 storeys, and the small amount of land where 4 storey buildings are allowed is very restricted. In fact, the total area of the plan which is designated for MF2 is only eight acres, which represents only 0.3 per cent of all residential land in Brookswood.

Mayor Froese has stated in the past that he “listens to the silent majority.” With so many controversial issues over the past four years (our legal bills, alone, are up 40 per cent over 2012) the mayor and council had better hope the silent majority shows up to vote this time around, or maybe we may see the exception that proves Mr.Bucholtz’s rule. J.BEAUMAN, LANGLEY
The plan actually states that large, medium and small lot single family homes represent over 85 per cent of the residential land in Brookswood, or 2,046 acres. The plan is a proposal for the growth of Brookswood/Fernridge for the next 30 years. For the next 30 years Brookswood and Fernridge will have over 85 per cent of their homes as single family homes on their own lots. The single family home on private lots is one of the main features of the plan. Residents of Brookswood have stated at other town hall meetings that they want a good mix of people in the neighbourhood and for it to be desirable to younger families. Many young people and young families struggle to afford a single detached home on a large lot and even if they could, would not want to live in one. A lot of (young) people want to live in higher density, walkable, vibrant areas. To attract a diverse group of people, a diverse group of housing options is required. In order to be a vibrant community, Brookswood needs a vibrant mix of people and businesses.
More diversity in housing options also provides older residents with the opportunity to age in place. It is difficult for an older family to care for and maintain a larger home on a big lot. Providing low maintenance housing options for such people would ensure that those who are passionate about living in Brookswood would have the opportunity to do so for the rest of their life with minimal transition. Another main point from the community open houses was that residents wanted more transit and more bike lines. In order for these amenities, and others, to be viable, more people are needed to use these amenities. I take the bus and ride my bike through Brookswood/Langley all the time and regularly find myself alone or with only two or three others on the bus. There is a disconnect between wanting the ability to age in place as well as attract younger families, and not wanting to add different housing options. Unfortunately, it appears that many people are misinformed when it comes to the
plan as blogs and Facebook posts claim they want to save Brookswood from becoming a “crowded urban wasteland of row housing and condos” (http://leavebrookswoodalone.blogspot.ca). With such a small percentage of the plan proposing row housing and condos this is impossible. The way we have been building neighbourhoods is not sustainable. Single family homes on large lots is the most expensive, environmentally intensive and resource-heavy way to construct a neighbourhood. There is tremendous opportunity to improve Brookswood while preserving and actually building upon the character and natural beauty of the area. I am very excited about the prospect of living in a place that’s affordable, sustainable, walkable and beautiful. I am also glad we live in a community that cares so deeply about its future. Brookswood can have something for everyone if it is designed for and by everyone. JOEL NAGTEGAAL, LANGLEY
Democracy not a spectator sport
Editor: Thanks for reporting on the move of the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe coal trains from the White Rock line to Langley (The Times, July 8). As you noted, this was not expected, and yet we in our area will pay for the sins of others. It’s not like we don’t already get plenty of trains. The fact is, even the empty coal trains emit coal dust residue, causing health and environmental implications. Gus Melonas of Burlington Northern and Santa Fe states: “Safety is the number one priority.” Do we feel safe? Our children and all who breathe anywhere within five kilometres of the tracks are not safe. Or maybe they are. Only a proper Health Impact Assessment will tell. But let’s be real here, if safety was the issue, BNSF would be roll-
ing over in support of the call for a Health Impact Assessment, called for by all major medial authorities. This includes BC Provincial Health head Dr. Perry Kendal and Fraser Health, as well as major studies such as the one by Dr. Jaffee in Seattle, which replicates the conditions that we will face in Lower Mainland municipalities facing the proposal for coal handling at Fraser Surrey Docks. We all know that safety takes a back seat to profits — that is the way. And, of course, in a capitalist society we need the profits. But we also need our health insured as much as we can. Thus the need for proper health assessments before these proposals are approved. Again, thanks for covering this story. Without coverage most people have no clue. An informed public is fundamental to a functioning democ-
racy. To request the federal and provincial governments do their jobs, send emails demanding the BC Ministries of Health and Environment and the Federal Ministry of Transport as well as Ministry of the Environment make a Health Impact Assessment happen. Following are email addresses to four ministries which could require an HIA to be done. Terry Lake, Minister of Health (hlth.minister@gov.bc.ca) Mary Polak, Langley MLA and Minister of Environment (ENV.Minister@gov.bc.ca). Lisa Raitt, Federal Minister of Transport (mintc@tc.gc.ca) Leona Aglukkaq, Fed Minister of Environment (Minister@ec.gc.ca) Taking for granted that the government will do the right thing does not cut it; diligence is the job of citizens, as democracy is not a spectator sport. STEVEN FARAHER-AMIDON, SURREY
Independent schools a money saver Editor: During a Langley forum on education it was said that governments (i.e taxpayers) funnel too much money into private and independent schools. I have been privileged to serve as treasurer in two of these independent schools and here are the facts about these schools: Independent schools save the government 50 per cent of operating costs and 100 per cent of building capital costs. It sometimes appears that folks who make allegations such as the one above are unwilling to look at the facts. The cost savings by these independent schools is done without a lot of fanfare but should not go unnoticed by the taxpayer. AUBREY VANDERGAAG, ALDERGROVE

After yet another litter of kittens was abandoned in the hot sun, the Langley Animal Protection Society has decided it has to do something to help stop it from happening. On Saturday, July 26, LAPS will host a “Kitten Roundup.” Anyone with unwanted kittens or pregnant cats is encouraged to drop them off at the shelter, no questions asked. On July 3, two litters of kittens were placed in a box which was taped up and left in the hot sun, beside a Langley City dumpster. Another batch of kittens was dumped at Aldergrove Park on Monday (July 14). That day was one of the hottest of the year, and the kittens were left in a Rubbermaid bin. “This time, they were left in a shaded area with a dish of water inside so it seems they were meant to be found quickly,” said Langley animal shelter manager Sean Baker. Six kittens were found by a member of the public who did the right thing and brought them to the Patti Dale Animal Shelter in Aldergrove. “They are around six weeks old and are in good condition,” said Baker. A foster family has already taken them in until they are ready for adoption. In the case of the two litters of kittens left in the box, one died and the others arrived at the shelter hungry and sick. “They are now doing well, wily and busy. They received a fair amount of TLC when they arrived,” Baker said. But it is the sad reality that people are choosing to dump kittens instead of drop them off at the various shelters, which has prompted the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) to host its first ever ‘roundup.’ “Our goal is to make it super

Six kittens were left in a rubber bin at Aldergrove Park on July 14. easy for people to do the right thing with unwanted kittens,” said Baker. “We also hope to raise awareness that the best way to prevent unwanted kittens is to spay and neuter your cats.” “Nothing like this has been attempted before, so we don’t know what to expect,” said Baker. The shelter has lined up 10 foster homes, in case they’re needed. “This wasn’t in our budget. We don’t have space for bunches of new kittens. But what’s the alternative?” The shelter is already nearing capacity for cats and kittens with around 75 kittens alone, so a successful kitten roundup will mean finding new foster homes and volunteers to help care for surplus kittens. It will also mean thousands of dollars in vet bills, spays and neuters. If dropping off kittens is not feasible, Langley residents can text a location to LAPS’ new Kitten Roundup Hotline at 604332-4449 and LAPS will dispatch

a team to collect the kittens and drop off spay/neuter vouchers. Throughout the day, LAPS will be broadcasting kitten intake exams, talking about spay/neuter programs, and answering questions live on the web at http://tinykittens.com/roundup. “It astounds me that kitten season grows every year, despite our efforts to get as many cats neutered and spayed,” said Baker. To that end, LAPS will also be handing out vouchers for spay and neuters to the first 20 people who come to Patti Dale that day. To help raise awareness, Dr. Renee Ferguson from Mountain View Veterinary Hospital will broadcast spay/neuter surgeries and answer questions live on the web on Thursday, July 24. To help raise money for the kittens that come in, Cedar Rim Nursery is hosting a “Dog Dayz of Summer” barbecue on Aug. 8. Call the shelter for tickets at 604-857-5055.

NIGHT SLIDE CONCERT!
Sockeye salmon spawning in the Adams River in 2010. A predicted massive run of Fraser River sockeye has yet to arrive, and that has experts theorizing about the possible reason or reasons. One possibility is that they are simply late; another is hot weather and a low snowpack has taken a toll on the population.

Black Press file ph oto
SALMON FACE DANGEROUSLY HOT FRASER RIVER J EF F N AGE L Bla ck Pre s s
A predicted massive run of Fraser River sockeye has yet to show up in force, so no commercial salmon fishing has been approved so far. Fishery managers with the Pacific Salmon Commission said Friday fewer sockeye are coming in so far than expected, although that could change swiftly. The commission’s Fraser River panel has not yet issued an estimate of the run size and said planned openings for seine boat fisheries have been pushed
back to at least July 23. The pre-season forecast – based on the fact this year’s return is the spawn of the unusually large 2010 run – projected 23 million sockeye would likely come back to the Fraser this summer, and it might run as high as 72 million. Other challenges are ahead for the migrating fish if they prove to be merely late, not missing. Hot weather and a smaller-than-average Interior snowpack is likely to result in more sockeye dying than usual on their journey upriver.
As of Thursday, the temperature of the Fraser was 18.8 degrees – 2.8 degrees higher than average for this date. “Sustained exposure of sockeye to Fraser River water temperatures in this range may slow their migration and cause elevated levels of pre-spawn mortality,” the PSC’s announcement cautioned. River temperatures are forecast to moderate to 17.9 degrees over the next few days. The amount of water flowing past the gauge at Hope was also 20 per cent lower than usual Thursday.

“You look fantastic! Where did you get your hair done?” This is a question many clients who visit Dannika’s Hair Bar are asked on a regular basis.

Coincidentally Dannika started her career in this very location ten years ago. She was there for six years and moved to Brookswood. Her clients are so faithful that they followed her even though most of them live in Walnut Grove, Fort Langley and Willoughby. When this space became available she was happy to return to her roots and opened Dannika’s Hair Bar in 2013. She was joined by Brittany, a stylist/colourist, Sheena, a wax artist and a lovely little dog named Shep who is the salon’s mascot/receptionist. The salon is a full service hair studio and they specialize in extensions and colour. Also in addition to doing hair, the salon employs the services of a wax artist.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled some problem gamblers who had themselves banned from B.C. casinos but managed to keep playing are owed jackpots that were withheld by the B.C. Lottery Corp. The ruling in the class action lawsuit applies only to jackpots over $10,000 that were won but not paid out between April 2009 and June 2010, because jackpot entitlement rules were not validly enacted during that period. Justice John Savage ruled the BCLC had “no authority to withhold jackpot prizes” at that time. The rules were clarified in 2010 when the province amended its Gaming Control Act, and self-excluded gamblers who were refused big payouts after that are out of luck. The case was led by two problem gamblers on behalf of numerous others who enrolled in the voluntary self-exclusion program yet still lost large
amounts at casinos. Hamidreza Haghdust was denied jackpots totaling $35,000 at casinos in Coquitlam and Vancouver and Michael Lee was refused a payout of more than $42,000 at a community gaming centre in Duncan. The plaintiffs argued the large prizes should not have been confiscated because BCLC failed to keep them out of the casinos under the self-exclusion program and was therefore in breach of contract. The judge did find BCLC was in breach of contract, noting that although Haghdust and Lee knew they were breaking the rules by re-entering casinos to gamble while banned, the lottery corporation was not blameless. “BCLC is a large quasi-corporate entity with a total monopoly over the provision of the very thing with which the plaintiff class struggle,” the judgment says. “Gamblers are ferried to its facilities and receive loyalty re-
wards. BCLC is undoubtedly in a more powerful position.” BCLC said in a statement it will work with lawyers for the plaintiffs to return jackpots to those who are eligible. “Overall, the decision validates BCLC’s ability to withhold jackpots as a deterrent for those who are voluntary self-excluded and that the program is being operated effectively,” the Crown corporation said. It’s not known how many gamblers may now be paid their five-year-old winnings. Lawyers behind the case initially said they were trying to recoup 427 jackpots worth total of up to $1.5 million, but only some of those prizes were withheld during the initial 14 months after the BCLC introduced its denial of winnings policy in 2009. While Haghdust was denied big jackpots when he managed to re-enter casinos, he also incurred $200,000 in losses since entering the self-exclusion program in 2006.

B.C. Lottery Corporation is still ‘waiting with baited breath’ for someone to claim the winning $50 million lottery ticket sold in Langley nearly four months ago, confirmed a BCLC spokesperson. Time is ticketing by without anyone coming forward to claim the large prize that came from matching all seven numbers on the March 14 Lotto Max draw. A person could live on the interest alone,
said BCLC. Lotto Max winners have one year from the draw date printed on the ticket to claim their prize. “In the absence of anyone coming forward to claim the massive prize, we continue to hear some incredible theories and rumours about the winner from lottery players,” says Kevin Gass, vice-president of lottery gaming. “The truth is, until the winner comes forward, we don’t know their story or why they may have waited so long.”
“We estimate the winner would have accrued more than $150,000 in interest over the last two months had they already collected their prize.” As for the rumour that a 17-year-old won and hasn’t been able to claim the prize because they are underage, BCLC said that isn’t true. Someone under the age of 19 can purchase lottery tickets. If that person wins, the winnings would be held in trust by an adult and
the funds released to them when they are legal age, confirmed BCLC. BCLC can’t reveal the location where the winning ticket was purchased because that is all part of the review process when the winner comes forward, said BCLC. BCLC always announces winners and where the winning ticket was purchased after the winner comes forward. No top lottery prize won in B.C. has ever gone unclaimed.

Construction at the Aldergrove border crossing
Construction au poste frontalier d’Aldergrove
In April 2014, the Government of Canada announced plans for infrastructure improvements to the Aldergrove port of entry (POE), including additional primary inspection lanes, a dedicated NEXUS lane, a larger traveller processing facility and a commercial examination warehouse. These improvements are part of the Aldergrove Redevelopment Project which supports the Canada Border Services Agency’s (CBSA) commitment to expanding and modernizing POEs in the Cascade Gateway region.
En avril 2014, le gouvernement du Canada a annoncé qu’il comptait apporter des améliorations à l’infrastructure du point d’entrée (PDE) d’Aldergrove. Dans le cadre des améliorations, on compte ajouter des voies d’inspection primaire supplémentaires et une voie réservée à NEXUS en plus de construire une plus grande installation de traitement des voyageurs et un entrepôt d’examen du secteur commercial. Ces améliorations font partie du projet de réaménagement d’Aldergrove qui vient appuyer l’engagement de l’Agence des services frontaliers du Canada (ASFC) à l’égard de l’agrandissement et la modernisation des points d’entrée dans la région de Cascade Gateway.

Opera in the country FOUR YOUNG OPERA SINGERS WILL PERFORM AT ST. DUNSTAN’S CHURCH IN ALDERGROVE ON SATURDAY, JULY 26
Subm itted ph otos
Clockwise from top left: Rising young opera singers Sunny Shams, tenor, Shaden Saul, lyric soprano, José Ramirez Solano, lyric baritone, and Francesca Corrado, mezzo soprano will perform in Aldergrove.
Four young rising vocal talents will present arias from two beloved operas in an Aldergrove concert, on Saturday evening, July 26. White Rock-based opera repertory company, Cantanti d’Oro, will perform highlights from two of history’s most romantically charged and passionate operas, Bizet’s fiery Carmen, and Puccini’s heart-wrenching La Bohème. The operas will be brought to life by a quartet of opera singers who are on the verge of embarking upon major careers. They have sung on international stages including in Canada and the U.S., Germany, the Czech Republic, Italy, Mexico, and Spain. Under the musical direction of collaborative pianist and maestro, Richard Epp, over the course of two hours, they plan to take audiences on a rollercoaster of emotions, as they perform highlights and narrate the stories of two of the genre’s most popular operas. Lyric soprano Shadan Saul, with her passionate voice, will sing both Don José’s girlfriend, Micaela, in Carmen, and Mimi in La Bohème. Lyric tenor Sunny Shams will bring his round, velvety, and commanding voice to sing the intense Don José in Carmen, and the young romantic poet Rodolfo in La Bohème. Lyric baritone Jose Ramirez Solano sings the suave Toreador in Carmen, and the painter Marcello in La Bohème, in a seductive, brassy and masculine baritone
voice. Mezzo soprano Francesca Corrado turns up the heat with her sultry, dark tones and earthy depth, to portray the sensual gypsy Carmen. Collaborative pianist and conductor Richard Epp will provide a one-man orchestra on the piano, as he helps set the moods and reflect the drama with his expert touch, sensitivity, and knowledge of the multifaceted plots of these operas. This production by Cantanti d’Oro will be presented in three cities over the weekend of July 2527. The premiere will take place on Friday evening at 7 p.m. in Christ Church Cathedral in downtown Vancouver. Saturday evening’s performance is at 7 p.m. in Aldergrove at St. Dunstan’s Anglican Church, an open and acoustically warm performance space. The third and final performance rounds out the weekend on Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. in West Vancouver at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, a 100-year-old landmark of West Vancouver, known for its rich acoustics. ••• Tickets for these performances are $25, and will be available at the door, or contact Cantanti d’Oro ticket office at 604-725-4220 for more details and to purchase tickets. Tickets are also available at the office of St. Dunstan’s, 3025 264 St. Call 604-856-5393.
Germany-bound dancer needs a leg up JULY 26 HOTDOG SALE FIRST OF TWO FUNDRAISERS FOR KELSEY HAYES Twelve-year-old Kelsey Hayes from Aldergrove has been selected to represent Canada at the prestigious World Hip Hop Championships in Bochum, Germany in September. “Auditions for the Canadian National Dance Team brought some of the best dancers from across Canada, vying for a position on the team to represent Canada at the World level,” said Team Canada’s national dance director, Bonnie Dyer. According to Dyer, dance is not recognized in Canada as a sporting event, even though many dancers
train up to seven days a week, are as flexible as any gymnast, as graceful as figure skaters and as dedicated as any Olympic athlete. Hayes currently dances 20-25 hours a week, training in hip hop, ballet, jazz, lyrical, acro, stage and contortion; all while maintaining a very high academic average. Among her most recent accomplishments since joining Company Competitive Dance three years ago, is a gold medal win for her contemporary performance at the Dance World Cup 2014, held in Niagara Falls
from July 4-6. “Dance is not a hobby for me, it is my passion,” said Hayes. “I love to dance but hip hop is one of my favourite styles. When I hip hop I feel very swaggy and like I can just let loose.” As part of Team Canada’s Hip Hop Junior Group, Hayes is required to raise $3,500 to cover the costs of travel, choreography, coaches, Team Canada jackets, hotels and entrance fees. “I would like to ask for any help in making my dream to dance for Can-
ada, a reality,” she said. Fundraising events have been planned within the community over the next two months to help her get one step closer to achieving this fabulous opportunity. Saturday, July 26: Hot Dog Sale, Otter Co-op in Aldergrove from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m; Saturday, Sept. 6: Pub Night Murrayville Town Pub in Langley from 5 p.m. to midnight. Tickets, $25, include roast beef dinner and drink. Donations can also be made at https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/ 1nGi9

Fraser Valley Symphony needs violin/ viola players
S ub mitted p hoto
Fraser Valley Symphony is looking to bolster its ranks with new advanced violin and viola players.
It’s an offer that comes with strings attached. The Fraser Valley Symphony is looking for advanced players of violin and viola to join their ranks. Rehearsals are Monday evenings. Interested musicians are invited to call director Lindsay Mellor at 604-526-3045. Founded in 1984, the Fraser Valley Symphony is the premier community orchestra of the Fraser Valley region. Performing alongside world-class instrumental and vocal soloists, the Fraser Valley Symphony provides a forum for musicians to present a variety of orchestral music for the enjoyment of audiences in the Fraser Valley.
Show, show, show of kindness Show of Forts An exhibit of artwork by Don Portelance and Bob Sheridan runs at the Fort Gallery at 9048 Glover Rd. until July 27. Portelance’s work focuses on the diverse and dramatic effects of natural light in the natural world, especially forests and beaches. He is showing in acrylic, watercolour and mixed media showing the endless variety of natural and artificial light, particularly when it is reflected or broken and flared through a camera. Sheridan’s exhibit features images from the forts. Canada began a rich history of romance and adventure when the Hudson’s Bay Company established trading posts across the country to engage in the fur trade. The exhibit includes interpreters from Fort Langley, Fort Edmonton and Fort Steele, representing voyageurs, first nations, coopers and blacksmiths, weavers and craftsmen, along with furnishings, equipment and household goods of the era.

Double gold for FV G REG S AKA K I Bla ck Pre s s
Fraser Valley won double gold on the court on Sunday. The Zone 3 girls’ and boys’ indoor v-ball teams won gold-medal matches moments apart Sunday morning at the Dover Bay Secondary School gym in Nanaimo. The valley girls won their final 25-11, 25-22 against Vancouver-Squamish. The second set was close and intense all the way through to make for an exciting finish. “There were a lot of people watching and it’s a big game and you want the gold medal. That’s why there’s pressure,” said Langley’s Morgan Hindy, Fraser Valley’s team captain. “A lot of teams crumble under that pressure but I think we

In boys’ action, Fraser Valley defeated Vancouver Island 25-12, 25-23 in the gold-medal match after a closely contested second set. Thompson-Okanagan took bronze.

Frustrating start for Little Leaguers

LO SSES FOR NORTH LANGLEY PLAYERS AS CHAMPION SHIPS GET UNDERWAY It was a frustrating start to the B.C. Little League provincial championship tournament for the North Langley team hosting the event, who dropped their first two games on Saturday and Sunday, losing 7-1 to Beacon Hill and 7-0 to South Vancouver in action at Walnut Grove Community Park. The round-robin Majors (ages 11 and 12) tournament will wrap up Sunday, July 27. In all, seven teams are fighting for the right to represent B.C. at the Canadian national Little League championships in Valleyfield, Que. from Aug. 1 to 10. The winner of that tournament will represent Canada at the famed Little League International World Series in Williamsport, Pa. Last year saw Ottawa’s East Nepean break B.C.’s eight-year reign as the Canadian representative at the World Series. North Langley automatically qualified as the host team of the B.C. Championships, while White Rock — which plays in the same district — won the district championship with a victory over Whalley. The Langley All-Stars fell in the semifinals to Whalley.

Bestfriends join the Pack together ONCE RIVALS ON THE COURT, A PAIR OF V-BALL PLAYERS ARE OFF TO PLAY AT UNIVERSITY TOGETHER Best friends who have been high school rivals — but club teammates — will now be just the latter. Langley’s Denham O’Reilly and Tim Edge are both entering their freshman seasons with the Thompson Rivers WolfPack men’s volleyball team in the fall. Both have played together with the Fraser Valley Volleyball Club for the past six years. But at the high school level, O’Reilly was with the Langley Fundamental Titans while Edge attended Surrey’s Pacific Academy and played for the Breakers. O’Reilly plays setter while Edge is a left-side hitter, who is coming off a serious concussion that cost him most of the past season. “Tim has a huge upside; I think a lot of teams don’t know about Tim because he had a concussion last year and was out for most of the season,” said Ryan Adams,

Denham O’Reilly (2) sets his sights on his freshman year with bestfriend Tim Edge at Thompson Rivers University, both on the WolfPack volleyball team. the coach with FVVC. “Tim’s power comes along once in a while; once he learns how to harness it properly, he will be an offensive force.”
“My main strengths are that I have a powerful arm and a good jump serve,” Edge said. “I think my strengths are my head game and my energy,” O’Reilly said.

“I have grown up around volleyball literally my entire life. I am very excited about introducing a new opinion and thought process to the team.” O’Reilly is a six-foot setter and this past season, the Titans won the B.C. AA provincial championship banner for the first time in school history. The team was also the Fraser Valley champions with O’Reilly earning all-star awards at both tournaments. “Denham is an extremely passionate player,” said Matt Lewis, his coach with Langley Fundamental. “He loves this game more than anything and it’s easy to see when he is on the court. “When it comes to his style of play, he is a very offensive player and a playmaker. “He always makes the quick decisions on the court. For me he was a leader and went above and beyond the call of duty.”
