ONE YEAR AFTER HIS DEATH, BRENDAN WILSON’S FAMILY IS FOCUSING ON THE GOOD TIMES G A RY A HUJA Time s Re po rte r
‘Celebrate the 18 years’
CHELS EA WILS ON Su bmitte d pho to
A hockey stick gloves and a puck, lay as a tribute to Brendan Wilson on the frozen pond behind the Wilson family’s Langley home. Wilson, who was an avid hockey player, drowned last spring, along with his best friend Austin Kingsborough, when the canoe the two young men were paddling overturned in Nicola Lake. A year later, Wilson’s parents and siblings prefer to remember the good times they shared, rather than dwell on their loss.

They knew something was wrong immediately. The game was about to start and Brendan Wilson’s family did not see him in the stands at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre in Burnaby. It was not like him to miss one of his younger sister Chelsea’s hockey games, especially with his sister’s team playing at the Esso Cup, the midget female AAA national championships. “It was through the game we put two and two together,” recalled mom, Connie Wilson. “He scheduled his life around B R ENDAN being there W ILSON for her,” said dad, Barry Wilson. “When he wasn’t (there) we knew something was up.” Chelsea scored a pair of beautiful goals that game in a 4-2 loss. But while there was jubilation for Chelsea’s on-ice heroics, the family was in for some devastating news off of it. The parents had realized that Brendan was missing but withheld it from their daughter. “Even after the game, we didn’t tell her what was happening,” Connie explained. But Chelsea knew all was not right. “I knew something was going on. He would have been there,” Chelsea said. Brendan Wilson had gone away with one of his close friends, Austin Kingsborough, to the Wilson family cabin at Nicola Lake, near Merritt. The boys went missing last April 21 and the following morning — after they were reported missing — Brendan’s truck was still at the cabin and the family’s overturned canoe was found on the lake.

One arrested after ecstasy lab busted 72 AVENUE CLOSED PART OF THURSDAY MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter
D AN FER GUSON L an gley Tim es
A large contingent of RCMP officers were on the scene at a home on 72 Avenue near 206A Street for several days, dismantling an ecstasy lab. One man has been arrested.
A 36-year-old Surrey man was arrested and released in connection with a largescale ecstasy drug lab on 72 Avenue in Langley. Police raided the Langley house on 72 Avenue near 208 Street Thursday morning. Traffic through the area was shut down for part of the day to allow a hazardous materials handling team time to clean up the “large presence of chemicals” in the older one-storey detached house. An ambulance stood by Thursday night while investigators collected evidence connected to the clandestine lab. The suspect involved wasn’t known to police before this, said Surrey RCMP. After his arrest he was released. It may be some time before charges are forwarded to federal Crown for approval, said Surrey RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Bert Paquet. “We are still investigating. There is a lot of evidence and this was a large production,” he said. Police aren’t saying what exactly they found on the property. Once police have assembled all the evidence they will forward a report to Crown counsel with recommendations of what charges the suspect could face. At this time, police don’t believe there are any other people involved, but that could change, he said. This Langley home had been the subject of an investigation for several weeks, said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr. Once a target was identified and judicial authorizations were obtained, investigators moved in swiftly, Carr said. “With public safety being our priority, 72 Avenue was actually closed for a short time [Thursday], but was immediately re-opened
once we could confirm that our communities and nearby residents were not at risk,” said Carr. There is a likelihood that the leftover chemicals from the lab were being dumped down the storm drains in the back of the property, said police. “There are several risks and dangers associated with drug labs,” said Paquet. “There is a large presences of chemicals [being mixed] and they aren’t disposed of in a way to protect the environment. “This is one of the reasons we executed the warrant as quickly as possible,” he said. The investigation in Langley led police to a storage unit in South Surrey too. Officers wearing masks, gloves and other gear to protect them from hazardous materials were seen removing large bags from a unit at Sunnyside Storage, 15553 24 Ave. at around 9 a.m. Friday. A witness said the bags were placed on a tarp surrounded by yellow tape, before being removed by a police vehicle. Reportedly, police cars had been at the scene for most of the previous night. Paquet confirmed Friday that the seizure of items from the unit was related to the execution of a search warrant at a Langley house on Thursday. “Some information we uncovered at the Langley property led us to the storage unit and what we found there supported the large scale lab in Langley,” said Paquet. The Surrey RCMP Drug Section is being assisted by several different law enforcement partners in this investigation, including “E” Division Clandestine Lab Unit and Forensic Identification Section as well as an Asset Forfeiture Team. — With files from Alex Browne, Black Press
Trinity Western mulls lawsuits against law societies Trinity Western University is considering taking the Ontario and Nova Scotia law societies to court after both bodies refused to recognize law degrees from the Langley university last week.

Law Societies of Canada (FLSC) approval of Trinity Western University’s planned law school. The votes were 28 to 21 in Ontario, and 10 to 9 in Nova Scotia. The university is reviewing its options, including “legal recourse,” TWU president Bob Kuhn said.
“We feel the Ontario and Nova Scotia decisions are legally incorrect and it may now be necessary to re-litigate an issue that has already been decided in our favour by an 8 to 1 decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in 2001,” Kuhn said, referring to a ruling that upheld the university community charter, which contains a controver-

There are fewer homeless people living in the Langleys according to a preliminary report released by the 2014 Metro Vancouver Homeless Count last week (April 23). The 24-hour regional survey carried out by 900 volunteers on March 12 shows there were 92 homeless people in Langley Township and the City of Langley, down from the 103 found by the previous count conducted in 2011, a drop of nine per cent. There were 54 people actually living on the street in both communities, while 38 people stayed at the Salvation Army Gateway of Hope in Langley

City, or had some other form of temporary indoor accommodation. The overall numbers for the Metro Vancouver region showed homelessness rose about 4.5 per cent from 2,650 in 2011 to to 2,770 in 2014, with 65
per cent having some form of shelter. More people were living on the street, 957 compared to 758 in 2011, an increase of 26 per cent. “We know the count underestimates the number of people who are actually homeless,” the report states. The count was funded by a variety of agencies, including the federal government’s Homelessness Partnering Strategy, city of Vancouver, Vancouver Foundation, Real Estate Foundation of B.C. and the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Society. A more detailed final report on the 2014 count will be released in July.

Five provinces have given TWU go-ahead B.C. LAW SOCIETY WILL MEET OVER BENCHERS’ APPROVAL From Page 3
Denying TWU accreditation in Ontario and Nova Scotia will create a patchwork system in which TWU graduates can practice law in some provinces but not others, Kuhn added. Five provinces and one territory have already agreed to recognize law degrees from TWU. The approval by the directors of the Law Society of B.C. is under attack, however, with Victoria Lawyer Michael Mulligan collecting more than 1,300 written requests in just over a week, double the number required, to force a special general meeting to reconsider the decision. The B.C. law society announced the
meeting will be held within 60 days, but noted 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 privately-funded Trinity Western University describes itself as a “Christian university of the arts, sciences, and professions.� It currently offers 42 bachelor’s degrees, 17 graduate degrees, and adult degree-com-

That lawsuit wound its way through several appeals before ending up at the Supreme Court of Canada. Kuhn, an Abbotsford lawyer who is also a TWU grad, argued Trinity’s case at the time. He was named president of the university earlier this year, after serving in an interim capacity since last summer.
Langley man stabbed An 18-year-old Langley man is lucky to be alive after being stabbed nine times outside a Surrey house party on Saturday night. At close to 2 a.m., Kody Butchko was at a house in the 13300 block of 62 Ave. when it’s believed he tried to break up a fight and was attacked for it. The apprentice plumber was chased down the street by several young men who beat and stabbed him. Police say he had stab wounds to his back, legs and chest. A passerby found him in a ditch and he was rushed to hospital. No arrests have been made yet, said police.

Alison Jackson (left) and Hannah Beaton are collecting shoes at the upcoming Langley Walk on Sunday, May 4. Beaton runs a program called Step in Someone Else’s Shoes, which collects shoes for inner city children. Jackson is hoping to collect athletic shoes which she can take to Ethiopia on a missions trip in August.

It was a story that stuck with Alison Jackson. Competing for Canada at the world university cross-country championships in Uganda back in March, other competitors approached the Trinity Western Spartans long distance runner to see if she happened to have any spare spikes she had brought along that she wouldn’t mind leaving behind. Some of her competitors were even running barefoot. That’s why when she heard about Langley teenager Hannah
Beaton — who will be a teammate of Jackson’s next year on the Spartans track and field team — and her Step in Someone Else’s Shoes program, she knew it was a perfect fit. Beaton’s program, which the 18-year-old began a few years ago, collects shoes for inner city children. In three years, she has redistributed about 450 pairs of shoes. Beaton was the 2014 recipient of the Pete Swensson Outstanding Community Youth Award from the Township of Langley. “Hearing about Hannah’s (shoe) collecting to help others is such a remarkable thing,”
Jackson said. It prompted her to contact Beaton and the pair are now teaming up to collect running shoes that will be taken to Ethiopia this August. Jackson is organizing the missions trip through Trinity Western University, which is expected to feature about 10 Spartan long distance runners. “There is a need for shoes (there). This will be really well received,” Jackson said. The group is going on a missions trip to help at HOPEthiopia, an orphanage in Ethiopia. Continued, Page 7

Fire destroyed a mobile home in Aldergrove Thursday morning (April 25). Several units of the Township fire department responded to the blaze at a Fraser Highway address near 268 Street. There were no injuries, but the trailer was damaged beyond repair. Traffic on Fraser Highway through Aldergrove was re-routed for a period of time.
Running shoes will go to Ethiopia From Page 6
As well as delivering the shoes to local runners in the area, the student-athletes will also help out at the orphanage during their trip. The runners also hope to run with some of the local clubs, as Ethiopia has long produced some of the world’s top long-distance runners. The orphanage is located about an hour outside of Ethiopia’s capital city, Addis Ababa, and the route to the city is a popular one, Jackson said. Beaton is thrilled her program is opening up. “I would love to see my shoe program grow into donating shoes to humanitarian aid and missions trips in order to bring shoes to those in need across the world,” she said, add-
ing it is also important not to lose sight of the vision for helping those in the community. As part of the annual Langley Walk, which takes place on May 4, Beaton will be on hand to collect shoes, both
to send to Ethiopia and for the Step in Someone Else’s Shoes program. The 52nd annual Langley Walk returns to Fort Langley on Sunday, May 4. It begins at 1:30 p.m. at the National Historic Site, with
activities starting at 12 p.m. People of all ages can walk, run, or bike five- or 10-km routes. Beaton can be reached at hannahbb@telus. net and Jackson at triactionjackson@gmail. com.

Question langeytimes.com
The fight over Trinity Western University’s plans to open a law school in 2016 seems almost certainly destined to end up in the Supreme Court of Canada, just as was the case with the Christian university’s plans to begin teacher training. In that case, the Supreme Court ruled that Trinity could indeed train teachers for the public school system (and other schools), despite its controversial community covenant that prospective students are asked to sign. At that time, the B.C. College of Teachers, which oversaw the teaching profession but was indirectly controlled by the B.C. Teachers Federation, set its sights on denying TWU the ability to train teachers. It even raised members’ dues to help finance the court case. It lost. In the case of the law school, the ministry of advanced education and federation of law societies of Canada has approved TWU’s plans to set up a faculty of law. It would be the first private university in Canada to offer such a program. This would seem to be a useful adjunct to the current system of law faculties at large public universities. In B.C., potential lawyers can now train at the University of B.C. or the University of Victoria. The Law Society of B.C.’s board approved TWU’s plans, agreeing that graduates could practice in B.C. That decision was challenged by a petition circulated by a Victoria lawyer, and a special general meeting will be held to reconsider that decision. The Law Society of Upper Canada (Ontario) decided Thursday it would not allow TWU grads to practice in Ontario. Nova Scotia’s law society followed suit Friday. Meanwhile, a Vancouver civic politician is challenging the TWU law school’s certification by the B.C. government in court. The law society decisions, no matter which way they go, are almost certain to also end up being challenged in court. All of this will keep a good number of lawyers employed, billing various clients at hefty hourly rates. It will also tie up a number of courts. And in the end, the matter will eventually be settled by the Supreme Court of Canada, as in 2001. It will be deja vu all over again.

The Nanaimo school district’s preliminary budget, tabled this month, calculated a nightmarish shortfall of $5.4 million. There won’t be any easy choices — trustees basically have to decide between doling out disappointment or dismay. Right away, the board served notice it will consider cutting not only teachers and support staff, but also administrators and trustees, a signal that the pain could be shared equitably. B.C. has 60 school districts dealing with similar issues and a lot of trustees brainstorming, but unfortunately it takes a lot of nickels and dimes to dent a multimillion-dollar shortfall. Public education is underfunded, but at the same time, throwing money at the problem can only do so much. We need restraint, flexibility and creativity. We all have our fond or not-so-fond memories of how school used to be back in the old days. Times have changed. Cities have sprawled, families are smaller, students live farther apart, enrolment has declined and for all those reasons, education can’t be delivered with the same economies of scale. It’s frustrating, during budget time, to talk in terms of “delivery of education” when schools do infinitely more. They’re about interactions and friendships, life lessons, achievement and growth. They’re places to pursue hobbies and interests, arts and culture, sports and recreation. They’re libraries, daycares, hangouts. They must continue to be all of these things. As the board balances its books, children must be the first consideration and we trust that they will be. And things will turn out OK. Pupils can handle dogeared textbooks, outdated computers, long bus rides and occasional gaps in supervision. Kids are tough and they’ll accept school for what it is. We need to be tough, too – suffer these cuts, if we must, and no matter what, never stop teaching, challenging and engaging our kids. — Nanaimo News Bulletin

Comments resented Editor: Re: Police constable Garrison’s letter “Full-time firefighters have much more training,” (The Times, April 22). This officer is making unfounded comments about paid-call firefighters,who for many years were the only firefighters the Langleys had available for fire and rescue operations. He states that the only training required for paid-call members is an eight-hour first aid course. What rubbish. That is like saying police officers only get a one-day course to become a police officer. The training for a paid-call member is extensive, taken over a six-month period. Candidates spend weekends at the training ground learning various scenarios, including live fire training, auto extrication and first aid, to name just to name a few of the skills required to join the ranks. When Langley Township went full-time several years ago, the firefighters that were hired came from the ranks of the paid-call members, not from the outside. They had been well-trained for the job, by being paid-call firefighters in Langley, some for many years.The day after being hired, these firefighters became professional firefighters in a great profession, and their training continues every day that they spend at the fire hall. I resent the comments made by Garrison that paid-call firefighters can pick and choose the calls they attend. Personally, I missed many family nights and functions while attending calls, lost many nights sleep, and still had to go to my regular job the next day. Whether I was at home, out shopping or with the family, I would respond, as did the other members. In closing, I ask him to get his facts straight. To our firefighters, professional or paid-call, I say thank you for the service you so unselfishly provide to our community. Be safe. I am a semi-retired Langley Township paid-call firefighter, affectionally known to Kindergarten kids as Firefighter Pizza. PETER MASSEY, LANGLEY
Pipeline concerns Editor: Re: “Bitumen exports are bad for environment, economy,” (The Times, April 24). While I commend David Black for stating that under no circumstances should the oil industry be allowed to export diluted bitumen by tanker because of the risks to our coastline, fish and wildlife, I am at a loss to understand why he still thinks it is OK to transport that same toxic concoction through pipelines to our coast. Diluted bitumen can also leak from pipelines — see what happened in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Langley also has fish and wildlife along the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline corridor, and we also have human life that would be adversely affected if there was a leak. Over 60 per cent of the residents of Kalamazoo suffered adverse side affects for weeks after the major leak in their community, and four years later, they are still dealing with the mess. Black is all for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, by continuing to expand the tar sands, one of the worst carbon emitters in the world, we are doing the exact opposite. Yes, job creation is important. I certainly agree with that. But why not jobs in the clean energy sector instead? That way we all get what we want. TRICIA CARPENTER, LANGLEY

Ethics issues Editor: I have been following your stories on Trinity Western University’s attempt to establish a law school, and a number of lawyers’ attempts to suppress and/or defeat this new establishment. It is all based on paranoia over an oath requirement. I think I know what has created this paranoia. These naysayers are frightened, lest these novice oath-takers, upon qualifying for the Barristers and Solicitors Oath, may actually bring ethics back to where it has been tragically eroded. W. FARRALL, LANGLEY
Langley Time s file pho to
Times letter writers find the comments made about Trinity Western University’s proposed faculty of law to be paranoid and an attack on freedom of religion.
Lawyer wants to regulate beliefs PETITION AGAINST LAW SOCIETY IS ILLOGICAL Editor: Religious freedom and freedoms of conscience, thought, expression and assembly have come under serious threat lately. The Law Society of B.C. recently approved the proposed law school at Trinity Western University by an overwhelming vote of the benchers. However, immediately following the vote, a lawyer from Victoria was able to garner a few hundred signatures to force the law society to revisit the matter, by calling for a vote by all lawyers in B.C. This lobbyist would like to have the law society ignore the Supreme Court of Canada and deny students graduating from TWU the right to practise their profession in B.C., because of their beliefs or choice of assembly. Fortunately, none of the arguments brought forth by the lobbyist have any basis of fact supporting them, and the arguments themselves are illogical. For instance, he raises the lawyers’ oath by interpreting it to say that lawyers must uphold the law as interpreted a certain way. If lawyers were so bound to uphold the law, no law could ever be changed again. Absurd. The oath actually requires lawyers to uphold the rule of law, which is essential to a democracy. Lawyers have risked their lives for centuries to use the rule of law to change existing laws to establish basic human rights,
including the right to free speech, belief and assembly. That would not have been possible if the law societies in those days had barred lawyers who held certain unpopular beliefs, for instance that women should have the vote, that slavery should be abolished or that religious groups should not be persecuted. A lawyer’s oath also requires the lawyer not to pervert the law to favour or prejudice anyone. Barring Trinity grads from professions because of their beliefs and their voluntary association with the university is as prejudicial as it can get. Are we seriously being asked to turn back the clock and support a drive to deny certain people the right to practice a profession in B.C., because of their beliefs? The law society, or any other professional regulator, has no business regulating our personal beliefs and acting as the Thought Police. Meanwhile, there is not one shred of evidence that Trinity grads would be anything other than competent lawyers with a high standard of practice. Hopefully, sanity will prevail when lawyers are asked to vote on this matter in a few months, and they will uphold the decision of the law society benchers. COS VAN WERMESKERKEN, LANGLEY

Shipping bitumen would ‘destroy our coastline’ KITIMAT REFINERY PROPONENT MAKES HIS CASE TO PUBLIC DAVI D B L ACK C ha i r, B l ack P re s s
This is the second of two columns addressing what I see as the greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime. The Alberta oil in-
dustry’s Northern Gateway plan is to export bitumen to Asia via tankers from the B.C. coast. Under no circumstances should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea could destroy
our coastline, together with the fish and wildlife that depend on it, for hundreds of years. My first column discussed the light oil spill by the Exxon Valdez and the terrible toll it took on the Alaskan

habitat and fishery. It also gave proof that a bitumen spill would be far worse. A bitumen spill would be almost completely unrecoverable, because it would sink and stay on the bottom of our seabed. The solution that is best for Canada is to build a refinery in Kitimat. I am promoting and backing this solution. It will convert the bitumen to very light fuels that would float and evaporate if ever spilled. There are other enormous benefits. There will be a major reduction in greenhouse gases. We will use new cutting-edge Canadian technology in our refinery. It will be so clean that, in combination with oilsands extraction, there will be less CO2 than in the huge conventional oilfields and refineries of Iraq and Nigeria. In other words, the Kitimat refinery will neutralize the extra greenhouse gases generated in Canada’s oilsands. This refinery will be built in Asia if not in Kitimat, and if so it will emit double the CO2 of our new design. This is the reason that Andrew Weaver of the BC Green Party is in favour of a Canadian refinery. An Asian refinery will also generate 100 train cars a day of very dirty coke (much fouler than B.C. coal) which will be
subsequently burnt in the atmosphere to create power. The Kitimat refinery will not result in the production of any coke. As we all live on one planet, it is far better for the global environment to build this refinery in Canada. - Construction of the refinery will create 6,000 jobs in B.C. for five years. Operations at the refinery will result in more permanent jobs than any project has ever created in B.C., with approximately 3,000 direct jobs. These will be highly-paid, permanent jobs. These jobs will be available for the life of the refinery, which should be
DAVID B LACK Canadian oil companies are not interested in building a new major refinery. They are focused on extraction, which is more profitable than refining. One of them challenged me to spearhead the refinery myself, so I am doing that. We have a solid business plan, and as a consequence Chinese banks and other institutions are prepared to lend us most of the funds required to build the greenest and most efficient refinery in the world. We are currently moving ahead with engineering design and environmental work. We will also build a safe pipeline from Alberta to the refinery, with the active participation of First Nations. Modern pipelines can be built and operated safely. Leak data is available for everyone to see on Canadian and U.S. government websites and it proves
I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs. DAVID BLACK
in excess of 50 years. In addition, there will be thousands of other jobs created in spinoff local petrochemical companies and in indirect employment throughout the province. The federal and provincial governments, local regional districts and municipalities, and many First Nations, will share in billions of new tax dollars each year. Unfortunately our
recently-constructed pipelines are not leaking. Furthermore, some of the best pipelining companies in the world are based in Canada. In addition we will build a fleet of new tankers, powered by LNG rather than Bunker C oil, to transport the refined products to Asia. This way we know the tankers will be state-of-the-art and as safe as possible. The fleet will be owned by a company based in B.C., so it cannot shirk its legal liability if there ever is a spill at sea. Let me be upfront about my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in B.C. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern tanker fleet that carries only refined fuels that float and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers. If you agree that we should not put bitumen in tankers, please contact your local MP and say so. The federal government will make a decision on Northern Gateway next month. David Black is the proponent of Kitimat Clean, a proposed refinery in Kitimat that would process oilsands bitumen into final products, for export to Asia.

‘Brendan was not your typical teenager’ From Page 1
RCMP used divers and a sonar search team over the course of six days, to no avail. The bodies of the two 17-year-olds were not found until May 6. Nearly one year has passed since their bodies were discovered, but the Wilson family prefers to remember the good times they shared, and not dwell on their loss. “We said all along, it was celebrate the life of Brendan, never the loss,” Barry said. “Celebrate the 18 years.” “We are very much the glass is half full, not half empty, so we had to look at the positives,” he explained. “We still talk about Brendan daily, we still laugh (about) him. “Is there a difference between crying and laughing? No, they are both emotions (and) our family chooses to laugh more than cry.” Brendan was not your typical teenager.
He loved hockey, playing both on the ice with the Langley Minor Hockey Association and on the court with the Valley Ball Hockey Association. “He was focused and had goals, he knew what he wanted to do and where he was going,” Barry said. At age 12, Brendan had decided that when he was older, he would run the family business, Huyck Industrials Ltd., on the Langley/Surrey border. He even had it figured out what his siblings would do: younger sister Chelsea (see related story, Page 21) would run the office, while older brother Kyle — three years his senior — would run the paint shop. When one of the company’s painters quit, Brendan convinced his dad to let him try to take on the role. He wasn’t even 15 yet but his rationale was that if one day he was to take over the business, he might as well start learning

Friends and family members of Austin Kingsborough planted a tree in his honour at the Township of Langley’s Community Arbour Day on Sunday (April 27) at the Fort Langley Community Garden. Trees were planted for both Kingsborough and his friend Brendan Wilson. The teens drowned last spring in Nicola Lake, near Merritt. Altogether, 13 trees were planted to commemorate members of the community who passed away in 2013. And on Sunday, both the Wilson and Kingsborough families were on hand at the Township of Langley’s Community Arbour Day celebration. Trees were planted in honour of both Brendan and Austin at Fort Langley Community Park. Connie said that friends and family were already gathered at the tree that night.

That’s about the size of it FLAG’ S FIRST SHOW OF THE YEAR, MICRO/MACRO OPENS MAY 3 B R E NDA A NDE R S ON Time s Re po rte r
The village Fort Langley will be crawling with arts and culture over the next two weekends. In addition to the opening of the first FLAG show of the season, Micro/Macro, there will be an exhibit on display at the Birthplace of B.C. Gallery, featuring work by artists Amanda Jones , Perry Haddock and Jack Turpin. May 3 also marks the beginning of the Fort Langley Art Crawl, as the town’s galleries and artists feature special events. The Fort Langley Studio Gallery is organizing the “Crawl” which occurs May 3-4 and 10-11. For more information, go to fortlangleyartistsgroup.com or fortlangleystudio.com/ events.

Langley artist and new member of the Fort Langley Artists Group, Pat Weibelzahl, holds one of her recent acrylic paintings, which she plans to hang at the Flagstop Gallery during FLAG’s first show of the season. Micro/Macro opens May 3 and continues until June 15 at the gallery inside the heritage CN train station on Mavis Avenue. The gallery will be open on Saturdays, Sundays and holiday Mondays from noon to 4 p.m. until September.
Fort Langley Artist Group is back for the 2014 season and beginning this weekend, the artists are trying a new theme on for size. The first show of the year, titled Micro/Macro opens at the Flagstop Gallery in the Langley Heritage Society CN train station on May 3, from noon to 4 p.m. It promises to be a busy summer for FLAG’s 18 member artists. The show, which continues until June 15, will be the first of three exhibits that will run over the course of the season. From June 21 to July 27, an ‘Artists’ Choice’ show will hang. After that, it will be Sunflower & Poppies in the gallery, from Aug. 2 to Sept. 1. There will also be two paint-ins, on July 1 and Sept. 1. FLAG is also participating in the Fort Langley Art Crawl May 3, 4, 10 and 11. Taking part will be three new artists who joined the group this year — Wendy Neilson, Pat Weibelzahl and Angela Weichel. Weibelzahl was actually a member of FLAG once before — for about a year, two decades ago. At the time, she owned a silk painting business in Fort Langley. In her 30s, Weibelzahl studied fine art at what was then Kwantlen College. But even then, she emerged with the idea that she really should find a steady, paying job. “I’ve danced between creativity and practicality my whole life,” she said. “But I’m a creative person, and I have to express that.” And so the artist is ready to allow her creative side to take over. In addition to re-joining FLAG about a month ago, she has also been painting each week with South Langley artist Susan Falk. Falk’s advice to Weibelzahl — get painting. In order to truly become an artist, you have to paint a hundred paintings, Falk told Weibelzahl. Creating everything from bold florals to colourful impressionist images of boats, Weibelzahl has been putting brush to canvas and creating a number of pieces to hang in Micro/ Macro, including a larger-than-life image of pink lillies. One of the things Weibelzahl enjoys most about the group is being surround by so many creative people. FLAG’s 18 members meet monthly to offer each other advice and feedback in a friendly, non-competitive environment. “I’m happy to have the opportunity to show my work in the community,” she said. The Flagstop Gallery is open weekends and holiday Mondays all summer long, from noon to 4 p.m. Serving ho

France, the things he saw AN EXHIBIT OF PHOTOGRAPHS BY THE LATE CRAIG DAVI ES WILL BE ON DISPLAY AT ABC FINE ART GALLERY, MAY 1- 31 During his lifetime, Langley businessman Craig Davies, was an avid and artistic photographer, capturing landscapes and still life images in “mesmerizing black and white, haunting infrared and bold colour.” Although Davies, who owned Design One Graphics Group for 30 years, passed away last June, some of his most inspired work will be on display throughout the month of May in an exhibit titled France, The Things I See. “When I heard that the late Mr. Davies’ wife, Kate, was interested in continuing to share his art, I thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to showcase a fine local artist, who had a great impact on the Langley community,” said Toby Malek, owner of ABC Fine Art Gallery, where the exhibit will be held. Davies studied and practised landscape and still life photography for decades, first working exclusively in black and white, and infrared and later also embracing colour. His black and white work shows amazing definition and detail, the infrared images result in unique, haunting images and his colour works

The exhibit is titled France, The Things I See. are bold and beautiful, Malek added. Davies’ photography always remained a representation of the things he saw, capturing the decisive moment. He never staged a shot, always capturing what was before him. In his last few years, he began to give himself creative permission to also use tech-
nology to enhance his artistic vision. In this exhibition, the photographer’s appreciation for the French approach to design and decor was his inspiration — from the laid back Provençal country charm to the sophisticated culture of Paris. He loved and captured the
quintessential French “Je ne sais quoi.” Europe, and in particular France, was Davies’ best loved travel and artistic destination, and his photography flourished there. The textures and warmth, the captivating light of southern France provided amazing photographic opportunities. Much of what drew Davies to France was his love of history and archeology. He reveled in the legends of the Templars and marveled at the ancient Roman ruins and aqua-ducts. His keen eye for light and ability to capture the mysteries of the places he visited makes this exhibition a unique delight, said Malek. ••• ABC Fine Art Gallery presents ”France, The Things I See,” a solo exhibition of photographic art by, Craig Davies, May 1 through 30, A reception will be held on Friday May 9, at 5 p.m. ABC Fine Art Gallery is located at 20573 Fraser Hwy.

As if receiving the top mark in the province on his classical guitar exam wasn’t enough, a Langley musician rose to meet some significant challenges on his way to earning the distinction. Patrick Jagdeo, who has special needs, including being legally blind, received a gold medal for his achievement this spring, during a ceremony at the Chan recital Hall at UBC. The Western Conservatory of Music student earned the top mark in B.C. during his Grade 4 Royal Conservatory practical examination. “I was surprised and happy that I got a good mark, period,” said Jagdeo, when asked whether he would have anticipated getting the best mark at his grade level — an 84. “Every exam is a gamble. Eighty four per cent is great; the gold medal is the icing on the cake,” he said. Not that he was leaving much to chance. He devised his own study method for the test, which he based on the show, The Amazing Race. He’d play a song before a pretend audience and then, depending on his performance, he’d advance to the next city or else get ‘U-turned.’ As happy as he is to chat, Jagdeo is also more than willing to play and sing a few songs as a demonstration of the skills he’s acquired over the past six years. Among today’s selections are an arrangement of Work, For the Night is

Coming, from the Adventist hymnal, and an original piece Jagdeo wrote about the 33 Chilean miners who were trapped underground for 69 days in 2010. The accomplishment is a real shot in the arm for the school, too, said Richard Haack, principal and founding director of Langley’s Western Conservatory of Music. “Patrick is a special student, with special needs. For him to obtain this award is indeed a great accomplishment and we are all very proud of him.” Throughout his studies, Jagdeo has taken weekly classes at the 33-yearold music school on Glover Road. But he met his current instructor, Mark Armstrong, just three years ago, and immediately impressed the teacher with his work ethic. “Patrick is one of the most hardworking students I’ve ever had,” said Armstrong. “It’s a real treat, working with Patrick. I’m excited to see him grow further.” Jagdeo’s music career started when he began playing the organ, but his mother steered him toward the more portable instrument. “I encouraged him to do guitar. I just thought it would be a little more social,” said Mildred Jagdeo. Jagdeo volunteers at the Langley Senior Resources Centre, playing for members and helping out with special events. He is also plans to record a CD of Christmas music.

All three of her goals came in one game and was a glimpse of
what Wilson brings to her team. “She showed at nationals that she can be a dynamic player and she can elevate her game,” Reed said. What makes her stand out is her great offensive instincts. “Chelsea is one of the best shooters I have seen at this level,”
the coach said. As for succeeding at the university level, Reed knows she has what it takes. “She has the skills and the background to put it all together,” he said, adding that like most players her age, she just needs the occasional push.

while Cole Cantelon had a two-run double. Broden Bydeweg had the other RBI. On the mound, Yi-Fan Pan went the distance, allowing a pair of runs and four hits over seven innings. Langley received another solid seven innings of work from Jake Polancic in game two as he allowed just one unearned run and five hits. Aiden Mordecai had an RBI double while Jesse Unger had an RBI single. The Blaze will look to continue their winning ways when they host the White Rock Junior Tritons tomorrow (Wednesday) at McLeod Park. Game time is 6:30 p.m. ••• The Langley Blaze are playing some whitehot baseball. The U18 squad went into Kelowna and swept a four-game set over the host Okanagan Athletics to push their winning streak to 11 games. It also improved the team to 11-1 at the quarter-mark of the 48-game B.C. Premier Baseball League regular season schedule. Langley won 1-0 and 4-3 on Saturday and 8-3 and 5-0 on Sunday.
The Athletics fell to 4-6 after the sweep.
The team also beat the White Rock Tritons (5-8) 10-4 last week (April 24). In the opener, Kyle Ross was dominant, struck out a dozen in a complete game one-hit shutout. The Blaze’s lone run came in the top of the first when Liam Wyatt single scored Andre Pelletier. And while the first game saw the decisive run scored early, the rematch came down to the final batter. Trailing 3-2 after the Athletics scored twice in the top of the seventh, Langley was down to its final out. But Kyle McComb drew a walk, advanced to second on a balk and then scored on an Okanagan error. Tony Pharand picked up the win, pitching the seventh inning. He replaced Kurtis Horne, who allowed three
runs — one of which was earned — over six innings. He struck out three along the way. Pelletier, Mitchell Robinson and Dakota C u r r y had an RBI apiece. Sunday’s first game saw the Blaze bats come alive as they scored eight runs in the 8-3 victory. Luke Horanski (three RBIs) and Mason Verge (two RBIs) led the way. Both players also had triples. Curry, Hayden Jaco and Connor Chorpita had the other RBIs. On the mound, Ryan Braun struck out nine and was one out away from a complete game. And the weekend closed with a 5-0 victory, which was highlighted by Chorpita blasting a home run. Robinson finished with a triple and a pair of RBIs while Wyatt drove in a run as well. Jonathan Keltie earned the win with six solid innings of work. Langley looks for a twelfth straight win when they visit the Whalley Chiefs (1-6) at Whalley Park tonight (Tuesday).
Dobray scores five but Junior Thunder fall short Despite five goals and an assist from Brett Dobray, the Langley Junior Thunder came short in their season opener. The Thunder fell 10-6 to the Victoria Junior Shamrocks in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League season opener on Sunday at the Langley Events Centre. Langley had a great start to the game leading 3-1 after 20 minutes. The teams were tied at five after 40 minutes but the Shamrocks took control in the third, outscoring the hosts 5-1. The Shamrocks outshot Langley 55-36. The Thunder are back in action

on Thursday (May 1) when they host the New Westminster Junior Salmonbellies at the LEC. Game time is 8 p.m. ••• The Langley Thunder are off to a 1-1 start in the B.C.

TWU goalie going pro in Sweden Trinity Western goalie Harry Fredeman will be playing hockey in Sweden next year as the Spartans netminder recently signed a professional contract with Division 2 club IFK Ore, which is based in Furudal. The 22-year-old Fredeman will join IFK Ore this fall and compete in Sweden’s fourth tier of professional hockey. Fredeman is coming off his second season playing with Trinity Western. In two years with the Spartans, the six-footone goalie posted a 4.65 goals against average and a .883 save percentage in 32 games. This past season, Fredeman was named the BCIHL Goaltender of the Month for October after earning wins in all four of his starts and compiling a 1.15 goals-against average and a .966 save-percentage. “This (playing professional-
ly) has been the plan forever, really,” said Fredeman. “About halfway through this year, I decided I wanted to focus just on hockey and see where it takes me. “Trinity Western provides top-class care for its athletes and getting to play in a rink like the Langley Events Centre was fantastic. It was a great experience and it prepared me for this next opportunity.” Fredeman played in 16 games in 2013/14, earning six wins and two shutouts. “I think this speaks to the player development both at Trinity Western and within the BCIHL,” said Spartans coach Barret Kropf. “It shows the quality of our league and the calibre of players that are being produced at this level. “It also proves that playing collegiate hockey doesn’t have to be the end of the road. Our
league is getting better and better and it can be a launching pad for players who are striving towards a professional hockey career.” Fredeman was part of a record-setting TWU team this year that finished higher in the regular season standings and advanced further in the BCIHL playoffs than any previous Spartans side. After finishing third overall in the regular season standings, the Spartans earned an upset win over Simon Fraser in the first round of the playoffs, advancing to the championship series for the first time in program history. The Spartans settled for a silver medal after losing to Selkirk in the final. Prior to joining the Spartans, Fredeman played junior B hockey in the Pacific Junior Hockey League with North Delta, Squamish and Mission.
Nine gold for Langley’s Borrowdale Chelsea Borrowdale led the charge for the Langley Olympians Swim Club, picking up 10 medals — nine of them gold — as the local club hosted a longcourse meet at Walnut Grove Aquatic Centre. The meet ran from April 11 to 13 with 400 swimmers from across the Lower Mainland
and Vancouver Island attending. Borrowdale, 14, won gold in the girls’ 13/14 50 breast, 1500 free, 400IM, 200 breast, 200 free, 400 free, 200 fly, 100 breast and 200IM events. She swam to silver in the 50 free. She also set anew club record in the 1500 free event with a time
of 18:28.56. On the boys’ side, the top competitor was 16-year-old Justin Schramm, who swam to seven gold medals and a silver in the boys’ 15 and over category. Schramm was tops in the 1500 free, 400IM, 100 fly, 200 free, 400 free, 200 fly and 100
free and second in the 50 free.

It is with a profound sense of loss that we share the passing of Frances (Fran) L’Heureux, beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. After an all too brief battle with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), Fran passed peacefully on April 18th with her family by her side. She is survived by her daughters Charmaine (Wes), Nadine (Gerald), Nikki (Kevin), son Chuck (Darcy, Kristy, and Kathleen), and step-son Marc (Colette and family): grand-children Neil, Amanda, Braeden, Dustin, Aja, Kylee, Logan, Breanne, Elann, Sierra, Savannah, Cynthia and Makenzie: great-grandchildren Cassidy and Kai and extended family. She was predeceased by her parents, Francis and Helen Clarke, husbands, Marcel Dancoisne and Lloyd L’Heureux, son, Gary Dancoisne, sisters, Jean Steendahl and Leslie Carew, step-son Serge L’Heureux and grandson-in-law Robert Manning. Fran’s most cherished times were spent surrounded by family, whether it was picnics in the park, Sunday brunches or Christmas day. Her garden also held a sense of pride; she loved spending time nurturing its design and growth and then reaping the rewards of its peace and serenity. The community of Fort Langley had become her home away from home over the past 30 years, where she enjoyed the many lasting relationships she built there. A Celebration of Life will be held at Fort Langley Golf Course 9782 McKinnon Crescent Langley, BC on Saturday May 3rd, 2014 at 1:00 pm. Thank you to all those medical professionals who provided care and support to Fran and her family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Multiple System Atrophy Parkinson’s Society Canada.
