Brydon Lagoon fears resurface
ONE WEEK AFTER CKF BLAZE, THINGS RETURNED TO NORMAL
HOT WEATHER, LACK OF RAIN COULD RESULT IN ANOTHER FISH KILL, ENVIRONMENTALIST WORRIES
DA N F E R G US ON Time s Re po rte r
B R E N D A A N D E R SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
The early arrival and ongoing stretch of hot weather is raising concerns about the potential for another fish kill in Brydon Lagoon. On the August long weekend in 2014, thousands of dead fish were discovered floating on the surface of the lagoon — likely the result of high temperatures and low oxygen levels — and Langley Field Naturalist Rhys Griffiths is concerned that it could happen again. The fundamental issue, said Griffiths, is the lack of water flowing into the lagoon from two storm sewer pipes on its north side. With no significant flow into the pond for the past two months, the water level is RHYS dropping, noted Griffiths. Shallow water heats quickly, GRIFFITHS increasing the threat to the fish. In addition, Griffiths said, the surface of the pond is once again becoming covered in a large algae bloom, which affects oxygen levels in the water, depleting oxygen at the bottom of the pond and resulting in an over-saturation near the surface. “Neither condition is good for fish,” he said. LFN and the City have been working together to fix the problem, but Griffiths is concerned that not enough has been accomplished to prevent another kill if the hot weather continues. Since last year’s incident, the City of Langley has purchased and installed an underwater bubbler. The pump is attached to hoses which are spread along the bottom of the lagoon and inject air into the water. Continued Page 3

A pair of visitors to Brydon lagoon surveyed the algae bloom on its surface, Wednesday. Langley Field Naturalist Rhys Griffiths says that although steps are being taken to improve conditions in the pond, he is concerned the hot, dry weather could lead to another fish kill. In August, 2014, thousands of fish in the lagoon died during a summer heatwave.

An update on the aftermath of a fire at the CKF factory in Langley City says the business avoided layoffs and resumed partial production within days, rising to full production within a week after the blaze at the facility at 200 Street and 57 Avenue on Thursday, May 28. A thank-you letter from the Langley City fire department to the Township fire department says that on the Monday following the fire, the company was back to 25 per cent production. “One week after the fire CKF Industries had returned to full production,” adds the note from City fire chief Rory Thompson to Township fire chief Stephen Gamble. “ … the return to production was achieved without any staff layoffs,” Thompson added. An online profile says the factory, which makes moulded pulp and foam products like disposable plates, egg and fruit cartons, employs 150 people at the Langley address, making it the largest employer in the city.

Building and flying a 100-year-old fighter LANGLEY MUSEUM OF FLIGHT TAKES ON PROJECT TO CONSTRUCT SOPWITH PUP REPLICA D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r te r
The Canadian Museum of Flight in Langley has agreed to provide a replica of a century-old Sopwith Pup biplane for the 100th anniversary of the First World War battle of Vimy Ridge. Now all they have to do is build one from scratch, then get it flight-tested and certified. They have 18 months to pull it off. If all goes well, the Langley museum’s Pup will join another Pup and four Nieuport 11 fighters from the same era in a flypast to mark the anniversary of the bloody battle for high ground on the western edge of the Douai Plains that pitted four Canadian divisions against three German divisions from April 9 to April 12, 1917. It’s an ambitious schedule that will require “tons of volunteers,” said Dave Arnold, vice-president the of museum’s board of directors. “It’s pretty exciting,” he said. “It’s got to get off the ground quickly,” said George Miller, the former Langley airport manager who was approached by the Vimy anniversary organizers who were looking to pay someone to build a Pup. Miller and former Langley mayor Kurt Alberts took the idea to the museum board. “They had to think about it for three seconds,” said Alberts. The single-seater aircraft is technically
known as the Scout, but the nickname stuck because pilots considered it to be the “pup” of a larger two-seater Sopwith. Most Sopwith fighters that followed became part of what was known as the “flying zoo” with animal names like the Camel, Dolphin and Snipe. The replica Pup will be slightly smaller than the original, and will use aluminum ribs instead of wood. The engine will either be a repurposed Volkswagen engine — a popular choice for replica planes — or a radial engine that museum general manager Mike Sattler says sounds “very like the original.” Volunteers are already queuing up to work on the project, Sattler said. “There’s a few people rather excited.” The museum has particular expertise in building and restoring fabric-covered aircraft, but never to this tight a deadline. Making the anniversary date will take thousands of man-hours and a “huge community effort” Sattler explained, but it represents a “huge chance” to raise the profile of the Langley museum. One of the selling points that clinched the deal with the anniversary organizers was the commitment to the project by the Air Cadets at the airport where the museum is located, Miller said. The Langley Pup will form part of a sixplane squadron that will fly across Canada during the summer of 2016, touching down at different communities to give Ca-

Langley City ‘cannot lose its jewel’

It took 17 hours to finally extinguish the fire. “Numerous internal obstacles and almost zero visibility presented significant challenges to fire attack teams trying to reach the seat of the fire,” Thompson said. The pallets of egg cartons were five metres high and many more metres deep into the building, so once water got onto them, it became a soggy mess. Fire crews worked on pulling it all apart to make sure there were no hot spots. They were on the scene until 4 a.m. the next day. Thompson said the City and Township departments “worked well as one team” in containing the fire. One City firefighter fell and injured his shoulder and a Township firefighter hurt his knee battling the blaze. Both were taken to hospital. — with files from Monique Tamminga

It isn’t easy being green. A frog floats at the algae-covered surface of Brydon Lagoon.
“We’ve ordered more hose to get further reach,” said City CAO Francis Cheung. “It is working, but we want to enhance it even more,” he said. At the same time, said Cheung, the City is mindful of the noise generated by the lagoon’s aeration pumps, so rather than run them 24 hours a day, they are turned on in the morning and shut off again in the evening, to minimize the disturbance to area residents. The lagoon supports several species of fish, including carp, sunfish and three-spined stickleback, as well as frogs, newts, salamanders and turtles.
Although most are non-native, much of Brydon Lagoon’s bird life and diversity comes as a result of fish being there, wrote Field Naturalist, Anthea Farr, in a letter to The Times last August. In an effort to prevent similar catastrophic events to last summer’s fish kill, some have suggested that the City dredge the lagoon — a solution that could cost several million dollars. “Brydon Lagoon is repeatedly referred to as a ‘jewel’ in Langley’s park system, and is the largest piece of open water for miles around,” said Griffiths. “We cannot lose it to either neglect or climate change. “So what to do?”

CUBS ARE GOOD CANDIDATES FOR RE-RELEASE
ottercoop.com
Langley’s own bear rehabilitation expert Gail Martin, founder of Critter Care, commends the conservation officer who refused to kill two bear cubs in Port Hardy. “The conservation officer did the right thing,” said Martin. “Finally someone stood up to the government and said no to what they knew wasn’t right.” The B.C. conservation officer was suspended without pay for failing to euthanize a pair of fivemonth-old cubs in Port Hardy, at the north end of Vancouver Island. Their mother had been killed after repeatedly breaking into a freezer containing meat and salmon. The bears came looking for their mom and that’s when Bryce Casavant refused the order he was given to shoot and kill the cubs. Instead, he brought them to North Island Wildlife Recovery Association, a rehabilitation facility that takes in cubs and releases them back into the wild when they are ready. Critter Care Wildlife Rehabilitation Society has been taking in rescued and orphaned cubs for years and releasing them back into the wild. They currently have six in their care and just released nine back to the wild in June. Critter Care is holding its annual open houses this weekend from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. providing tours to see the various wild animals in their care. It’s the only time the centre opens to the public. “Bear cubs absolutely can still go wild when they are that young and they are always released far away from human populations,” said Martin. The public was outraged by the Ministry of Environment’s decision to suspend the officer without pay and so far more than 55,000 have signed a petition to reinstate him.

B.C. conservation officer Bryce Casavant was suspended without pay for refusing to kill two black bear cubs, which he has since named Jordan and Athena. The cubs are at a rehab centre on Vancouver Island and public outrage over the incident has forced the government reinstate the officer’s pay. Even English celebrity Ricky Gervais weighed in on the controversy in a post on Twitter. Langley MLA Mary Polak is minister of environment. She was calling the situation unfortunate but refused to comment on personnel matters. As of Wednesday, Casavant was still suspended, but with pay. His union is filing a grievance. Martin said the problem is conservation officers who are out in the field and know best about the situation in front of them, aren’t allowed to make the decisions. “Someone behind a desk in an office made that decision to have the cubs euthanized,” she said. “That’s where change needs to happen. We have to give conservation officers the right to make the decisions.

to re-qualify as a client. Dosch was forced to stop working as a licensed practical nurse because of severe back problems that left her on disability. She is re-training for less physically demanding work as a paralegal and the eightweek course was to upgrade her qualifications so she can attend university. Dosch said she was warned missing a day of classes would get her kicked out, so she phoned the food bank and said she couldn’t make the appointment. “I thought the food bank, being the food bank, would understand,” Dosch said. Dosch says she offered to come in before her classes started, but was refused. “I was told my name hadn’t come up on the list yet,” Dosch said. When she went to the food bank with her bank statements, rent receipts and income assistance stubs, Dosch said she was told she was being taken off the list for missing her appointment. She would have to wait six weeks before she could re-apply. “I left there pretty upset because they had a lot of good food in,” Dosch said. “It doesn’t seem very Christian-like. I’m a single mom with four kids and I need to rely on the food bank.” Her employment insurance has run out and Dosch is currently on social assistance. At the time of her suspension, there wasn’t much food in the house, she said. “I had sauce, but no noodles,” Dosch said. “My milk was low.” Her youngest child is a year old, her oldest is 16. Dosch was rescued with donated food vouchers supplied by some sympathetic strangers who overheard her talking about her suspension. Her church has also come to her assistance. “We always know that God will provide, somehow,” Dosch said. Dosch, who was named valedictorian of her class, has since completed her course and will begin university in September.
In the meantime, she hopes going public with her story will convince the food bank to be more flexible in the future. “All I want is to see these silly policies changed.” When contacted by The Times, Langley Food Bank manager Naomi Chambers declined to comment. “We don’t address specific client situations, due to privacy,” Chambers told The Times on Tuesday. Chambers also refused to comment on the suspension policy, but the food bank web site states clients must re-apply at regular intervals to prove their eligibility or risk losing benefits. “In order to remain a client, clients must also have their registration reviewed every six months to ensure that all information on file is accurate and up to date.” The website says there are currently about 600 “client families” registered at the Langley Food Bank. “Including dependents, we are helping over 1,000 people with their food requirements each week,” the site says. In 2013, the food bank says it provided over 19,000 hampers. The Langley Food Bank opened in September of 1989 and currently is open for distribution every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at 5768 203 St. The Langley Food Bank Society also operates the Aldergrove Food Bank and the Birthday Closet program that provides new toys to parents of children 12 years and younger. An online mission statement says the society aims to express “God’s compassion” to the poor and needy. “God’s heart towards the poor is not one of harshness or judgment, but rather one of mercy, compassion, forgiveness, and help,” the message says. Under “Client Eligibility Requirements” the food bank says it aims “to provide a helping hand, not free handouts that reinforce long-term dependency.”

Two men rescued a dog from a burning van in the Langley Home Depot parking lot Wednesday morning.
Dog pulled from burning van, given oxygen through pet mask
EVERY DAY, ANY 20251 Fraser Hwy
Quick thinking by some passersby, along with help from Langley Home Depot staff, may have saved a dog that was trapped inside a burning van on Wednesday morning. Kevin Kotz, who delivers flowers, was at the Home Depot parking lot around 8 a.m. when he saw smoke coming from an older camper van. Staff from the Home Depot came out with fire extinguishers and were attempting to douse the blaze when a passerby named Gary thought to look in the windows to make sure no one was inside. “Thank goodness he had the foresight to look inside,” said Kotz. “Gary shouted ‘there is a dog in there.’” A staff member used the fire extinguisher to break a window and gain access to the dog. Kotz snapped a picture of two men pulling the bulldog out while white smoke billowed from the van. “It was good timing, because that van was completely covered in smoke in the inside,” he said. Township firefighters arrived and were able to knock down the fire quickly. Firefighters provided oxygen for one of the dog rescuers and to the dog as well. “We were able to use the new pet O2 mask on the dog. I think that is the first time we’ve used it and it worked well,” said assistant fire chief Pat Walker. Mountain View Veterinary Hospital Dr. Renee Ferguson held a fundraising campaign in May to outfit Town-
ship fire trucks with pet oxygen masks. The fundraiser helped outfit fire departments with pet oxygen mask kits in the Township, Langley City
and Abbotsford. The owner of the van arrived, said Kotz, and was very grateful to Gary and the others. “He thanked everyone and was happy to

When a single Langley mother of four, trying to build a better life for her family, was forced to choose between missing her appointment at the food bank or getting kicked out of school last month, she did what most of us would do — she asked to reschedule her meeting. Unfortunately, the policy of the Langley Help Network, which operates the food bank, doesn’t allow clients to miss appointments — for any reason, from what we can gather — and those who do, are required to wait an additional three to six weeks before they can come in and re-establish their eligibility. At least, that’s what happened to Heidi Dosch. With four children between the ages of one and 16 at home, and a rapidly dwindling supply of groceries, she was in a tough position when she came into The Times office recently. An appointment was available, she said, but she wasn’t allowed to have it. To Dosch’s credit, she didn’t come to the paper to complain or to demand that an exception be made in her case. She simply wanted was to draw attention to a policy that seems to make it even tougher than it already is to escape the cycle of poverty. She also hopes to effect change, not just for her own benefit, but for others who, like her, are trying to juggle school and family as they take the first steps toward self-sufficiency. Like Dosch, we understand that rules are put into place for a reason, and they can’t simply be ignored any time they don’t suit a person. However, we weren’t able to find out any details about the policy, or even why it exists — we tried, but we didn’t get an answer. It’s too bad, because it would be nice to think that a person who is doing all the right things to try to build a better life for themselves and their children would be given every opportunity to do so.

Question
of the week
Are you taking any measures beyond what is required by Metro restrictions to curb your water use?
Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
Apocalypse now? they
To paraphrase Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz — water and power and fire, oh my! Unlike Dorothy’s fears of walking through the unknown — and creepy — forest, the fear of forest fires, of power outages and water shortages are only too real this summer for citizens of the South Okanagan. Hot dry weather, arriving about two weeks earlier than usual, has the District of Summerland raising a flag on water usage, B.C. Hydro expressing concern about power usage across the province and the Kamloops Fire Centre declaring a region-wide ban on campfires, a move that was echoed by Penticton. Taken together, it all sounds a little bit apocalyptic. But we haven’t reached the end of times just yet — these are necessary precautions being taken by those in positions of authority. Human-caused fires eat up resources that could be used fighting naturally-caused fires and air conditioners and fans add to the load on an already stressed electrical grid. As for the water supply, well, Summerland is no stranger to water shortages. Remember 2003, when drought brought the community reservoir down to a bare minimum? Right now, the South Okanagan isn’t in a shortage situation — we’ve just reached the limits of the pumps — but estimates predict that in three decades, about one-third of the world’s population will suffer from chronic water shortages. Each year, global water consumption rises by two to three per cent, while the total supply of fresh water remains relatively constant. So perhaps it is time to take notice of these times, when our systems are being pressed to the limit and wonder what it might be like in years to come, when severe restrictions are placed on power and water as a daily measure. — Penticton Western News

How does the Township justify high salaries? Editor: It’s that time of year when the salaries of Township of Langley employees are released, coincidently right after we have paid our yearly property tax bill. As my spouse lined up with our fellow “Township sheep” at the Township Office to pay, he pondered “where does the money go?” In April, the Township opened the new Routley Park, which we live directly across from, but to date, we have not seen latches for the dog gates, the garden shed that was supposed to be built for the community gardeners, nor the street signs marking it is as a new park with restricted speed zones. Currently, most drivers traveling along 70 Avenue west, do so at autobahn speed. Year after year, Mark Bakken always seems to be the prize winner of Township remuneration and he continues to enjoy a healthy salary at over $300,000 per year. I must say, it is an outstanding win for him to pocket such a good chunk of our taxes. But other Township employees are now chomping at the bit to meet or beat that salary and Ramin Seifi, Jason Winslade and Shannon Harvey-Renner are coming in at a close second.
Besides posting their salaries, perhaps it would do more to the readers’ understanding to tell us what these employees do and how they actually contribute to our local government. As the average salary in B.C. is posted at $46,900, this exorbitant amount of money paid to these individuals seems unwarranted. What do they do that justifies such a high salary? It gives us the impression that if you snag a job working for your local government, you are guaranteed a high-paying income with secured benefits and a succulent pension at the end of your career — all at the cost of taxpayers in the community. It would be like winning the lottery. For now, we have many unanswered questions as we read and contemplate the article Township salaries, council remuneration figures released, and we wait for the new Routley Park to be finished. I guess there just isn’t enough money in the pot to finish the park since we have to pay all those Township salaries. SANDRA STEFFAN AND EDWARD DEGENSTIEN, LANGLEY
A happy Canada Day
other joints and find swimming is an all-encompassing exercise of necessity. When the arctic blasts of winter arrive in this pool design, how does this design serve us? Poorly. The old Kinsella book line was “If we build it, they will come.” The only individuals flocking to this pool in winter will be penguins. Designers should consult and listen to a swim club, not a hockey organization. Think again on the pool design. This one is inadequate and a failing, upsetting let down. BRYN AND LYNN JONES,
Editor: I want to express our pleasure about the wonderful experience we had attending this year’s Canada Day celebration at the Langley Events Centre. We have in past years gone to the Cloverdale celebration until our unfortunate experience of July 1, 2012 when the mayor of Surrey and those responsible for that event put a “No dogs allowed policy” in place. We have not returned since. This year our whole family and our friends with their dog got to participate with us and enjoy a fun-filled day and we got to mingle and meet other responsible dog owners as well. Having just recently moved to Langley we have to say that this was such a wonderful and refreshing experience in our new city and we are proud that we moved here and now our whole family can participate in family events. Thanks Langley for being dog friendly. MR. AND MRS. SWEETLAND AND OUR BELOVED CHARLIE,

Township mayor Jack Froese and General Manager Jason Winslade unveiled plans for a new Aldergrove recreation centre on June 16. The fact the design calls for an outdoor pool has disappointed some residents.
Outdoor swimming pool a poor design for winter Editor: Let my wife and I add our names to the list of Aldergrove residents disappointed with this council’s re-jigged swimming pool design. On the plus side, they have scrapped incorporating the old school house, which was truly goofy. Unfortunately, the whole project seems to have been overtaken by hockey enthusiasts, when the original and obvious deficit in the community has long been a useful indoor pool. Foisting this design on the swimmers of the community, who must now travel to swim elsewhere, is disheartening to say the least. Aging baby boomers like us, must maintain mobility of old hips and
Saddened by salaries Kindness taken to new heights Editor: I was deeply saddened to read about the outrageous salaries that some members of the Township are making, especially when the B.C. average is about $47,000 per year. Salaries in the civil service should be capped at no more than $100,000 per year (more
than double the B.C. average) to show some responsibility to the taxpayer. No wonder we have so many homeless, when so many are living in excess. G. BLATT, LANGLEY
Editor: I found out that my neighbour had a cat stuck up in their tree for four days. The cat was so high up an extremely tall tree that you could not even see it, just hear its weak cry for help. Apparently no one was willing to help, no matter how many calls
were put out. As soon as I found out I took this to social media which resulted in 1) finding the owner and, 2) an amazing good Samaritan climbing up the extremely tall tree and rescuing the cat. Please, please acknowledge this selfless and brave man, Morgan de
Chalai. There was even a “professional” cat rescue company called that was unable to get to her. Way to go, Morgan. Thank you so much for this act of kindness — good karma to you. MICHELLE PAGE, LANGLEY

Canada Day party hailed as a rousing success Approximately 10,0000 people took part in the Canada Day festivities at Willoughby Community Park on Wednesday, July 1. Hosted by the Langley Events Centre, the Township of Langley and 93.7 JRFM, the park grounds next to the LEC were busy with residents of all ages who came out and enjoyed live music from such artists as King & Cash, Robyn and Ryleigh, Washboard Union and headliner, Rod Black. In addition to the music, there were large inflatables to play in, a mechanical bull and special appearances by members of the Langley Rivermen and Vancouver Stealth. Midway through the day, the Canada Day ceremony was hosted by Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese, Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman, Langley MLA Mary Polak and Langley MP Mark Warawa, who all welcomed the crowd before Citizen Judge Dane Minor performed a Canadian citizenship

reaffirmation ceremony. To close the ceremony, Chris Buck Band led the crowd in ‘Oh Canada’. “Good music, good food, and fun in the sun: this was the perfect way to celebrate our nation’s birthday,” said Froese. “The weather was excellent, there was a lot for kids to see and do, and plenty of great local entertainment to enjoy. It was wonderful to see so many people having fun at this family-oriented celebration, which also raised money for a great cause.” As a part of the event, the JRBQ offered some great food options and proceeds raised went to Basics for Babies. In total $3,365 was generated for the popular JRfm charity. “It was great to see a large number of families and friends be a part of Canada Day in Langley,” said LEC director of business development Jared Harman. “The partnership with JRfm and of course, the Township, really made it a special event.”

Outlook cloudy for climate policies
NO CHANGE CAN COME WHEN NATURE IS VIEWED SOLELY AS A SOURCE OF PROFIT AND GAIN Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau came to Vancouver last week to unveil his environmental platform for the Oct. 19 federal election. Trudeau promised an overhaul of the National Energy Board and a vaguely defined intention to work with provinces to impose a “price� on carbon dioxide emissions across the country. Trudeau’s media tour took him to the Burnaby facilities of General Fusion, where, like Premier Christy Clark a few weeks before, he stood at his podium before a prototype fusion reactor. This massive octopus of pistons and wires is an attempt to capture the nuclear reaction that powers the sun and other stars, containing its fury within steel walls and magnetic fields. The old joke about controlled fusion is that every 20 years, scientists tell us it’s just 20 years
away. If it ever is develgation of premiers to oped, such a process stop the flow of “fossil could quickly put an end awards� given to Canada to our hand-wringing by people in polar bear about fossil fuels, largely suits. replacing them with endAsked about the fuless, emission-free enersion reactor she had just gy. toured, Clark laughed off BC This is the type of techthe question, comparing nological revolution that it to the “flux capacitor� Prime Minister Stephen used for time travel in Tom Fletcher Harper’s officials indicatthe Michael J.

systems are not going to cut it. This is a rebuke to California, Quebec and the European Union, where effective carbon trading is, like controlled fusion, just around the corner. Pope Francis warned that our “throwaway culture� views nature “solely as a source of profit and gain� and so people won’t voluntarily do the right thing. (The results of the Metro Vancouver transit plebiscite could be interpreted this way, if you ignore the bumbling, waste and political posturing that really did it in.) The Pope concludes that there is “an urgent need� for a “true world political authority� to impose order on the greedy capitalist humans that infest our beautiful planet. Presumably this would be the run by the UN, so my advice is to start hoarding candles and cat food now.
B.C.’s frozen carbon tax has ceased to have much effect, with gasoline consumption back up over 2008 levels amid the usual volatility of prices. Gasoline is going for around $1.30 a litre, despite the prolonged slump in crude oil prices, and people have basically forgotten about this tax on top of all the other gas taxes. Perhaps B.C. can brag in Paris about the Pacific Carbon Trust, which limps along after its neardeath experience in 2013. The trust continues to divert tax dollars from B.C. government operations to purported carbon-saving activities, including paying coastal First Nations not to log the portions of forests that they demanded be preserved.

Trinity Western University appeal wraps up islation. It was a court battle over a College of Teachers refusal to allow the university to train teachers because the TWU Community Standards at the time had a list of “practices that are biblically condemned” that included “sexual sins including … homosexual behaviour.” In an 8-1 ruling, the high court declared that that TWU “is a private institution that is exempted, in part, from the B.C. human rights legislation and to which the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not apply.” The university can believe what it likes about gays, the court said, so long as it doesn’t actually discriminate against them. The TWU blog reported one of the lawyers for the university, Robert Staley, argued the Supreme Court decision was

binding law, and the LSUC decision was unreasonable for going against it. However, a lawyer representing Out on Bay Street and OUTlaws, Marlys Edwardh, said the university community covenant has been changed since the 2001 ruling, meaning it is no longer relevant. Edwardh argued that the LSUC was entitled to take all discrimination into consideration when making decisions about accreditation. Another issue was whether the LSUC decision amounted to unfair interference with the TWU law school. University lawyer Ranjan Agarwal said the LSUC does not have the power to regulate law schools generally, particularly not those outside Ontario. Law society lawyer Guy Pratte said the society has the jurisdiction over legal training, even when its done by third parties and that includes admission policies.

The latest legal battle over a proposed law school at Trinity Western University in Langley ended in defeat on July 2 when the Ontario Superior Court dismissed the university’s application for judicial review of a decision by the Law Society of Upper Canada (LSUC) to refuse recognition of the proposed school. At issue is the covenant TWU students and staff must sign, promising they won’t engage in relationships outside traditional heterosexual marriage. It asks them to refrain from “sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman,” something critics call anti-gay, while the university says it is an issue of religious freedom. A TWU-written comment on the ruling noted the three-judge panel concluded
that “the decision of the [LSUC] does have the effect of interfering with [TWU’s] rights to religious freedom,” but the infringement was “not unreasonable.” TWU called that remark “critically important,” saying a “faith community’s commitment to a traditional view of marriage should not become grounds for denial of religious rights and refusal of full participation in society.” The university said it plans to appeal the decision as soon as possible. It posted a summary of the four days of arguments preceding the ruling online at twulawschool.tumblr.com. The blog reported one of the issues raised during the Toronto hearing concerned a 2001 Supreme Court of Canada decision that said the private university isn’t bound by provincial or federal human rights leg-

TransLink indicated that it is the rate of inflation that drives the annual increase. When the bridge opened in July 2009, the toll for cars using a transponder was $2.75. The number of drivers who took the tolled Golden Ears Bridge rose 6.2 per cent in 2014 and toll revenue climbed by $2.2 million to $41.6 million. More vehicles crossed the Golden Ears Bridge than projected, due in part to the end of the introductory toll discounts on the Port Mann Bridge. – files from Jeff Nagel, Black Press

New readings show Metro Vancouver’s water reservoirs have dropped well into record low levels for this time of year. The regional district now has 75 per cent of its total drinking water capacity available. “We’re into uncharted territory here,” said Darrell Mussatto, chair of Metro’s utilities committee. “We are using our water more than we did obviously last year and more than we have in the past. We’re at early August levels in early July.” Metro already moved to stage 2 water restrictions effective last Friday — that reduces lawn sprinkling from three days to just once a week and bans water uses like pressure washing. Hot, dry weather throughout May and June had sharply increased water demand in the region. Mussatto said it’s too early to say if Metro will order tougher water restrictions yet. He said more time is needed to see if the stage 2 restrictions do enough to reduce water consumption. “If everyone responds well, that will allow us to get into the fall.” Further steps in Metro’s Water Shortage Response Plan would ban all lawn sprinkling at stage 3, and all watering of plants and most other outdoor uses of treated drinking water at stage 4. Metro’s three small alpine lakes are full and will be used to replenish the main reservoirs from which water is actually drawn. The regional district has also asked BC Hydro to allocate more water from Coquitlam Lake for drinking water than normal.

Spending caps recommended for local elections COMMITTEE SUGGESTS POPU LATION -BASE D FORMU LA FOR LARGER COMMUNITIES Candidates for a council seat in a small community should be able to spend no more than $10,000 to run for mayor and $5,000 for a council or school board seat, says a legislature committee on local election financing. For larger communities, a population-based formula would limit a mayoral campaign for a city of
150,000 residents to just under $90,000, with other municipal candidates limited to half that. The formula would restrict a candidate for mayor of Victoria, population 80,000, to about $50,000, while Surrey’s population of 470,000 would mean a cap of $180,000 to run for mayor. The small-town limits apply to communities up to 10,000 residents.
For larger ones, mayoral candidates would be limited to $1 per capita for the first 15,000 people, 55 cents per capita up to 150,000, 60 cents per capita for 150,000 to 200,000 and only 15 cents for communities larger than that. Fraser-Nicola MLA Jackie Tegart, who chaired the committee as it toured the province, said the limits are aimed to make running for local government “accessible and

Summer Maintenance of Rural Boulevards and Ditches The Township of Langley currently uses four full-time roadside grass mowers for ditch mowing. This equipment has predetermined routes, or an assigned area to follow. Pulling equipment away for a specific request lengthens the time it takes to fully complete all the rural boulevards and ditches. If you have a request for mowing or brush whacking, we ask for your patience as we try to fit the work schedule in as efficiently as possible. We thank you for your understanding as we operate under these requirements. Engineering Division 604.532.7300 opsinfo@tol.ca

The committee wants third-party advertisers limited to five per cent of what a mayoral candidate is allowed to spend. The spending limits would be in effect starting on Jan. 1 of each election year.

Ombudsperson tapped to probe health firings NDP CALLS GOVERNMENT CONCESSION ‘POSITIVE STEP’ JEF F N AGE L Bl ack Pre s s
Health Minister Terry Lake has asked B.C’s Ombudsperson to lead an investigation into the government’s firing of eight contracted health researchers in 2012. The province has been under fire for weeks for deflecting demands for a full public inquiry into what it has admitted was a mistake. Criticism intensified after the release of RCMP documents that undermined government claims the researchers were under active investigation by police into a possible data se-
curity breach. Six of the eight university researchers who were assessing pharmaceutical drugs for Pharmacare coverage have been paid settlements and reinstated, one is suing the government for wrongful dismissal and another committed suicide. Lake said in a statement he shared the “ongoing public interest and concern” and believed new Ombudsperson Jay Chalke is the right choice to investigate further. The surviving researchers and the family of the deceased have demanded a full public
inquiry, but the premier has said that’s problematic due to privacy issues and potential high costs. Lake said he is asking the Ombudsperson to “investigate the events leading up to the decision to terminate the employees, the decision to terminate itself, and the actions taken by government following the terminations, in addition to any other matters he may deem worthy of investigation.” An independent review last year failed when the labour lawyer leading it said she was stymied by restrictive terms of reference.

NDP leader John Horgan called the decision to bring in the Ombudsperson a “positive step” and a major concession by the government that more investigation is needed. He said Opposition MLAs on the committee that oversees the Ombudsperson will fight for broad terms of reference to determine who ordered the firings and why. Chalke is a former assistant deputy minister of justice. Horgan said the NDP will also demand full disclosure of any involvement he had in the issue to ensure there’s no perception of conflict of interest.

Langley Chamber speaks out after public rejects Translink transit tax After Metro Vancouver voters overwhelmingly rejected the proposed TransLink tax July 2, the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce issued a statement affirming it made the right decision to oppose it. “The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce was the only board of trade in Metro Vancouver that did not support the “Yes” campaign in the Translink tax referendum,” said chamber president Scott Johnston on the day of the voting results. “The issue was carefully reviewed and vigorously debated by our board of directors, and the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce released its official position of “No” to the 0.5 per cent tax hike on Dec. 17, 2014. After the No vote, Johnston said: “We are in alignment with the core val-

Fraser at Pan Am Games JAVELIN ATHLETE’S ULTIMATE GOAL IS 2016 OLYMPICS GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s
Melissa Fraser knew what was at stake. Less than a week earlier, Fraser had been knocked out of the top two Canadian rankings among female javelin athletes. Another competitor had beat Fraser’s old mark by 40 cm at the Harry Jerome Classic in Burnaby on June 8. It was June 14, and Fraser was in Coquitlam for a meet along with other members of the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club. At stake was a spot on Canada’s athletics team for the upcoming Pan American Games in Toronto as it was the final day for athletes to cement their spots in the national rankings. Only the top two athletes in each respective sport would earn a spot on the Canadian roster and now Fraser was down to her final throw of the meet. “I knew this was my last chance, my last meet and I had to throw big or I wasn’t going to qualify,” recalled the 24-yearold. She stepped up and delivered, heaving the javelin 54.87m, a new personal best, and a mark good enough to solidify her spot on Team Canada. “That was the major goal for this season,” said Fraser. “This is my first senior national team. It is a big stepping stone for me in terms of next season and wanting to qualify for the Olympics.” Fraser said she has been working on her mental strength over the past couple of years. “I have definitely matured over the years,” she said. “Early on, I would succumb to the pressure, but I have been working on a lot of mental training and knowing my capabil-
Rebels win Canadian Open PLAYERS FIGHT HEAT EXHAUSTION, BEAT CALIFORNIA IN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME MONIQUE TA MMING A Time s Re po rte r
Langley’s U18 Rebels were a force all tournament long, handedly winning first place at the Canadian Open Fastpitch International championship tournament at Softball City on Monday night (July 6). The event – which hit South Surrey diamonds July 3 – opened with the Showcase (U16) and Futures (U19) Selects tournaments, both of which wrapped up Monday night. In the Futures championship, the Langley Rebels took the top spot, defeating the California Lightning 9-2 in the final. The Rebels mercied the California team in the fifth inning. Pitching was great but hitting was key too, with the Langley select team even putting a home run over the fence during the championship game. “To see that in a championship game, that got everyone pumped up,” said head coach Rob Komorowski. “I’m really proud of these girls. They pulled together as a team. It was an exciting game and a pleasure to be part of it,” he said of the win. Komorowski has brought his team to the Canadian Open for the past five years now and last year, they were knocked out in the semi-finals ROB KOMOROWSKI by Washington. This year was a different story. The Rebels came out fighting in the final by starting out on the bats and hitting a homerun to score two. The Rebels kept being threats at the plate by hitting aggressively and scoring more runs in the second and fourth inning. In the bottom of the fourth the Lighting found the holes and scored two more runs. The Rebels responded with more runs in the fifth. They came out and scored five more on a two out rally. The Rebels held the Lighting in the fifth inning to win the game 9-2. The Rebels played eight games over the weekend, winning all but two. “The whole team did great, they really played as a team,” said team manager Shannin Pinette. “When they won it was more of a shock because they were going into the sixth and then the game was over because they mercied the other team,” she said. Saturday was a ‘rough day’ for the team with back to back games in the sweltering heat. “We were fighting heat exhaustion and had
I’m really proud of these girls. It was an exciting game and a pleasure to be part of.

ities and not really thinking about other people. “I found that has really helped with my performances.” Fraser moved to Langley in November to train with the Mustangs under coach Tom Nielsen. She is also dating Nielsen’s son, Kyle, who also competes in javelin. Prior to that, she had
been training for the past two years in Lethbridge, but felt as if she had regressed during her time there. Her scores also went down during that time. “I just needed a different environment to be in and I knew he (Tom) would be a good fit for me.” Before that, Fraser had spent four years at DePaul University
in Chicago on scholarship. She is originally from Hillsburgh, Ontario, and was a softball player and was recruited into track and field to compete in a couple of throwing events, the javelin and hammer throw. The Pan Am Games run July 10 to 26 and the athletics portion of the competition will
be held about an hour from Fraser’s hometown so she is expecting a good cheering section. She plans on spending some time with family after the competition before returning to Langley and preparing to try and land a spot on the Canadian senior national team for the 2016 Olympic Games.

D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
The Langley Junior A Thunder fought the Nanaimo Junior A Rivermen to a 7-7 tie in Junior A Lacrosse play at the Langley Events Centre (LEC) on Sunday afternoon, only to lose the season finale in overtime 11-8. Thunder goals came from Jesse Worley (who scored twice), Hammond Jones, Parker Willis, Dylan Lacroix (twice), Connor McNeil and Craig Whitton. Five players were ejected for fighting during the third period, with game misconducts for fighting handed to Thunder players Alex Gibbs and Josh Kelly and a misconduct for accumulation of penalties on top of a fighting penalty handed to Nico-
las Jackson while Timbermen players Ben Cawthorne and ºDevan Smith were tossed out after getting game misconducts for fighting. It was the final game for the Langley Junior Thunder of the 2015 British Columbia Junior A Lacrosse League season. The two teams tied 10-10 in their first meeting on June 7 at the LEC. In their second contest, it was Nanaimo getting the better of Langley thanks to a 17-12 victory on the island. Both teams were hoping to end the season on a positive note as they have both been eliminated from the playoffs. The Thunder dropped an 11-6 decision to Delta. The Thunder finished the season in sixth place with five wins, 13 losses and three ties.

two girls exiting the game,” he said. “But Sunday was a new day. We woke up feeling good and we started playing for each other and believing in each other,” said Komorowski. They mercied both teams they played, tromping on Nanaimo to a score of 21-2. The lead up game to the final was against Oregan, who they had lost to on Saturday. “It was redemption for sure and it felt good going into the
final game,” he said. “They just started hitting the ball and it’s contagious.” The win is nice too for assistant coach Ron Adams who stayed on one more year even though he no longer has kids on the team. This is his last year with the Langley squad. This is also most of the girls final year with the Rebels as they age-out and will move onto women’s rep teams or recreational. After such an exciting and important win, the Rebels are now looking to the win the provincials held in Nanaimo on July 16
and 19. “We are hoping to build on this win,” he said. In the meantime, Team Canada took to the diamonds along with teams from Japan, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. Canada faced Mexico at Softball City’s Diamond 1 on Wednesday. Canada plays at least one game each day until Saturday, when playoff rounds begin. The championship is set for Monday night at 7:30 p.m. at Softball City. Files from Nick Greenizan, Black Press.

Kenneth George McIntosh (Macky) June 29, 1948 - June 24, 2015 Ken passed away peacefully at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox with his family by his side. After battling Diabetes which included a long fight with infections plus amputation of his leg and then the onset of cancer. He fought a hard fight but his heart finally failed him. Ken was born and raised in Sidney, BC, son of George (Red) McIntosh (predeceased) and Louise who passed away on June 28 2015, his brother Dale (predeceased) and his sister June (Beattie), nieces and nephew who are in Kamloops. Educated on Vancouver Island, he became a journeyman carpenter where he honed his skills with Campbell Construction of Victoria. Moving on, he advanced his own construction company in Sidney, until moving his family to the mainland in 1980. After a number of ventures, he settled on structural concrete forming placement where he was instrumental in the erection of over 50 high-rises in downtown Vancouver. The years of stress spurred him to semi-retire which didn’t last long as there was always a new venture. He found his niche in the manufacturing end of the gutter business, where he excelled in the upgrading of the machinery and production of many new products. In 2011 he finally retired and returned to the island settling in Courtenay where he planned to spend all his time fishing and hunting with his friends and family and enjoying the outdoors he loved. Ken is survived by his two sons Stephen (Kerry) grandchildren Levi, Ryder and Sydney of Langley and Duane of Penticton, also by his son’s mother Sandra of Penticton. Ken has always been a fun loving guy and will be truly missed by all of us. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to your charity of choice. There will be a Celebration of Life held on August 13, 2015 at 1:00pm held at 24532 87th Avenue, Langley, BC. Arrangements are in care of Toneff Funeral Services.
