Township looks into anti-tether regulations CITY INVESTIGATION OF SAME ISSUE FOUND BAN WOULD BE TOU GH TO ENFORCE

DA N F ER GU SO N Time s R e po r t e r

A bylaw to restrict chaining or tethering dogs is being investigated by Township of Langley staff, following a call for action by an Aldergrove resident. Callie McHardy told the June 29 evening meeting of Township council she was “surprised” to learn there was no such law on the books in Langley when she tried to get help for a dog near her home. “Just down the street, there’s a dog that’s always chained up,” McHardy told Township council. Calling the practice “cruel,” McHardy asked for a bylaw, similar to what other municipalities have enacted, against chaining or tethering dogs for a lengthy period of time. Some Langley dogs are left on a tether, unattended, for 24 hours a day, McHardy said. “They just live their lives on the end of chains.” Dogs are pack animals, McHardy added, and they need interaction with humans and other dogs. Councillors Bob Long and Michelle Sparrow convinced the rest of council to have staff look into the issue. A report is expected following the summer break at Township council. The cities of Surrey, Richmond, Burnaby, New Westminster, Victoria and the Village of Lion’s Bay have passed anti-tethering regulations. Langley City reviewed the same issue last year and found tethering restrictions would be “extremely difficult to enforce” and “almost impossible to monitor,” in the words of a March 6 report by Carolyn Mushata, manager of legislative services.

Come be a kid again! Wednesday, August 12th

The fourth year of the annual ride into history fundraiser for the Salvation Army Gateway of Hope in Langley drew more than 120 riders on Saturday. The 245-kilometre “poker run” started at historic Fort Langley with a pancake breakfast provided by the Fort Langley Lions. The riders headed out at 10 a.m. En route to and from Harrison Hot Springs, there were a number of stops where riders drew cards, with the goal of assembling a winning hand at the end when they arrived at the Gateway shelter. At the Saturday banquet, one of Gateway’s Opportunities Program residents who is finding success in the program spoke to the riders. “It’s important to recognize why we are doing what we are doing in the Langley community and the impact we are making,” said Les McAusland, emergency shelter and opportunities program manager at Gateway. All the money raised will directly benefit and fund community services provided at Gateway. Aldergrove Financial Group, Envision Financial, and Prospera Credit Union partnered to present the event. The day before the ride, there was a cruise and concert at the Fort Langley National Historic Site’s orchard featuring Randy ‘Elvis’ Friskie.

Food bank plans expansion into Aldergrove SOURCES HAS ALREADY RECEIVED SEVERAL REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE FROM THE AREA DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

Sources, Langley’s newest food bank, is planning to set up a satellite distribution outlet in Aldergrove. Denise Darrell, Sources director of women, seniors and community services, said the non-profit is looking for depot space to bring food from the Langley City food bank to people in Aldergrove. “It’ll just be pre-boxed hampers,” Darrell told The Times on Wednesday. Since the news of Sources’ arrival was reported last month, the food bank has been flooded with phone calls, “especially from Aldergrove,” said Bruce Strom, the Sources food bank Langley operations manager. The number of volunteers, clients and donors has increased, enough that Darrell expects the food bank will move to twice-a-week distribution by the fall. Sources currently distributes food once a week, on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. from the United Church of Langley at 5673 200 St. Darrell said the church was “fantastic,” providing Sources with free space during the first nine months. During that time, the food bank expanded from a boardroom into a larger multipurpose space in the church basement and now pays a lease. It is looking for a larger space somewhere in Langley City, one with more storage room. Sources is also hoping to find donors to

help obtain needed items like a refrigerated van and a commercial weigh scale. On Wednesday, Darrell was heading to the Langley Central Rotary Club to accept a $4,100 cheque. It is much-needed money that will help, but more is needed, she said. On a more immediate note, Strom said the outlet also needs to replenish its canned beans, fish and meat. “My stocks of protein are very low,” Strom said. Because the Sources Langley food bank has only just opened, it doesn’t have a stock of Christmas-season supplies to draw on. The non-profit group has operated a food bank serving South Surrey/White Rock for over 30 years. Sources moved into Langley in September at the invitation of the Food Banks BC association after the established Langley Food Bank quit the association rather than follow ethical guidelines concerning the treatment of clients. Anyone who can help the rapidly-growing Sources food bank find new space in Langley City and Aldergrove is asked to contact ddarrell@sourcesbc.ca or phone 604-541-4820. Sources also needs drivers to make pickups of donated food. If you can help, you’re asked to phone 604-542-4357. And if you would like to make a donation, including financial support, contact jmurray@sourcesbc.ca or phone 604-5414833.

Motorcyclist from Langley killed in Surrey crash D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

A 32-year-old Langley man was killed after his motorcycle was hit by a car Saturday night (July 25) in Surrey. A 22-year-old woman who was a passenger on the bike was transported to hospital by air ambulance in serious condition. Around 9 p.m. a 2003 Saturn driven by a resident of North Vancouver was heading west on 8 Avenue when it turned left on to 172 Street and became involved in a collision with a motorcycle going east on 8 Avenue. Police said speed and alcohol did not appear to be contributing factors in this collision.

Aldergrove man badly injured after slamming his motorcyle into SUV CRASH CLOSED EASTBOUND HWY.1 DURING AFTERNOON RUSH MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

A 38-year-old Aldergrove man is in hospital with life-threatening injuries after his motorcycle slammed into the back of a SUV on the freeway, near 200 Street on Wednesday afternoon. According to Cpl. Ronda Rempel of the BC RCMP Traffic Services, around 4:30 p.m., the motorcyclist was driving eastbound on the freeway, just past 200 Street, when he rear-ended a

vehicle and was ejected from his bike, leaving him with serious injuries. “Contributing factors to the crash were speed and inattention on the part of the motorcyclist,” said Rempel. Witnesses told police, he was driving at a high rate of speed before the crash. The Aldergrove man was taken by ambulance to a trauma hospital. The highway’s eastbound lanes were closed from 5:15 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The passengers in the SUV were taken to Langley Memorial Hospital as a precaution but all were released without injuries. Because this crash happened in the middle of rush hour, there were plenty of witnesses who provided statements to the police, for which RCMP are appreciative. The motorcyclist is expected to live but has very serious injuries, Rempel said.

On a hot July afternoon, two people took shade under a tree near the playground of Rotary Centennial Park. Accompanying them were a pair of overflowing shopping carts and, nearby, sat a heap of garbage. It is a scene that is becoming all too familiar at the small park, according to area residents and the City of Langley. Ongoing reports of used needles, abandoned shopping carts, garbage, graffiti and vandalism have prompted the City to allot $5,000 for a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) study of the park, which is located

in a residential area behind Safeway, at 208 Street and Fraser Highway. “It’s disgusting what goes on there,” said Councillor Gayle Martin during the July 27 council meeting, as members debated the use of the $5,000. According to councillor Val van den Broek, it is unnecessary to spend extra money on a study. The City is hiring Greg Perkins of Liahona Security Consortium Inc. as a consultant to do the review, however there are several trained Langley RCMP officers that are capable of performing it, van den Broek said. “There are staff members at the RCMP that can do this for free because we are already

COUNCILLOR VAL VAN DEN B R OEK paying their wages, instead of taking $5,000 from the taxpayers to do this,” she said. Van den Broek told council she dealt with Rotary Centennial Park for years while working at the City’s community police office, and that reviews have been done on the area in the past.

The statement caused confusion in council chambers. If the RCMP did comprehensive reviews and found there were things that could be done, why wouldn’t they share this with the City, asked Martin. Both Francis Cheung, the City’s CAO, and Gerald Minchuk, director of development services, told council they were not aware of any studies that had been conducted. That’s because the information gathered in them is confidential, due to the privacy act, said van den Broek. The review is between the reviewer and the owner of the property, she said. The City is the property owner, Cheung confirmed. “If that report is only conducive to the owner of the property, we are the owners,” said Martin. “So why wouldn’t we have it? I would think you would know if we commissioned a report.” Despite the confusion, the councillors agreed that immediate action is needed in the park and that the vote cannot wait until they reconvene in September. Council voted to commission the CPTED study, with van den Broek opposed. The study will be paid for through council’s enterprise fund, which is made up of casino proceeds paid to the City. Cheung later confirmed to The Times that formal CPTED studies have been done on the residences near the park, but not on the City-owned park itself. Therefore, the municipality does not have access to the previous studies. Van den Broek also later confirmed that she has conducted informal studies on the park, however none that were formal CPTED investigations. “There’s little things you can do which is an informal CPTED,” van den Broek told The Times. “There’s bigger things you can do where it’s a formal report, where you write things out and you go over everything, you give it back to the person and say there are the recommendations. “In regards to the actual park itself, [they’re] informal.”

Ban could result in worse conditions for dogs – report From Page 1

Mushata said the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) receives one or two complaints a month about tethered or chained dogs in both the City and Township. Limiting the time a dog can be tethered would be “very difficult” to enforce unless it was banned entirely or only allowed when the owner is in attendance, LAPS predicted. The Mushata report warned restricting outdoor tethering “may lead to even worse confinement conditions within the interior of the home making the situation almost impossible to address.” “Regulating confinement and tethering of dogs would be extremely difficult to enforce and is not recommended,” the report concluded. The City animal control law was left unchanged. It requires tethering of dogs, aggressive or not, “in such a manner to prevent the dog from leaving the property.” It does not set any restrictions on the time or method of tethering or size of the confinement area. But it does ban the use of choke chains around the neck

Fines in Aldergrove border smuggling case

Two Chilliwack residents have been fined and placed on probation for a year after they pleaded guilty in a U.S. court to smuggling a meth-lab-ina-box across the Aldergrove border crossing last November. Court documents posted online show Calum James Buchanan and Lola Crystal McKay were each given one year plus one day of “community custody” which requires them to report to a parole officer. Buchanan was fined $3,900 and McKay was fined $1,900. Both have promised to pay the fines in $100 monthly installments. Buchanan was sentenced in February and McKay was sentenced in June after they each pleaded guilty to “possession with intent to manufacture/ deliver methamphetamine” a charge that carries a potential maximum of 10 years plus a $20,000 fine. A charge of bail jumping, laid against McKay after she failed to show up for a court hearing, was dropped after she returned to Washington State and pleaded guilty. Both were arrested at the Aldergrove border crossing on Nov. 23 of last year after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers discovered chemicals inside a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am. A U.S. customs officer became nauseated and vomited from the fumes in some plastic wrapped storage containers in the car. The crossing was shut down in both directions for about an hour while a hazmat team removed the chemicals. The sickened officer was transported to hospital and made a full recovery.

Walnut Festival raises funds for Canuck Place

Wishing you and your families an enjoyable and safe BC Day!

D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

A poorly-timed stretch of rainy weather reduced the turnout for the fourth annual Walnut Festival at Vista D’Oro Farms and Winery on Sunday (July 26). Despite the damp, the fundraiser for Canuck Place children’s hospice still managed to raise $1,200. Lee Murphy of Vista D’Oro, who volunteers at Canuck Place, said there would “definitely” be a fifth festival fundraiser next year. Vista D’oro invited a number of “our favourite chefs/creators/farmers to spend the day at the farm with all of us, in celebration of the green walnut.” Visitors could sample various products and listen to live music under the walnut trees at the farm, located at 346 208 St. Canuck Place fundraising co-ordinator Jeffrey Thiessen dropped by Sunday. “This is the first year I’ve actually been able to attend,” Thiessen said. He praised Vista D’Oro for their continuing support. “It’s the relationship I value and that’s why I was glad to meet them this year.”

The City of Langley recovered $1,200 in missing items during its fines amnesty day on Saturday, July 25. Although this is just a sliver of the estimated $400,000 worth of items checked out and never returned from libraries across the Fraser Valley, City Councillor Gayle Martin is still calling the event a success. Forty four items were received and $400 in fines waived. One woman returned items that had accumulated $60 in fines. She had a hard month and the amnesty day gave her a fresh start, Martin said. Another person brought back a yearold trade manual. He couldn’t afford the fines, so he had never returned it. The City of Langley Library amnesty day allowed people to return overdue items, borrowed from any library in the Fraser Valley regional system, without penalty.

City Council’s decision to spend $5,000 to look into problems at Rotary Centennial Park was the correct one, under the circumstances. At its final meeting before breaking for the summer, council voted 6-1 on Monday night to hire a consultant to carry out a CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) study, in an effort to curb illegal activity in the park. Councillor Val van den Broek, who cast the lone no vote, did so because she felt the study would be a waste of money when there are people already on the RCMP payroll who are qualified to carry it out. But for the residents who live on three of the isolated park’s four sides, time is no doubt of the essence. They’re the ones overlooking graffiti-covered walls, piles of garbage and abandoned shopping carts, and having to keep an eye out every day for used needles and other potentially harmful substances. During the past several months, overnight camping has also become a problem at the small park, which has only one entrance and is blocked from view by buildings on every side. As a result, the park has been identified as a priority area, presenting “considerable” public safety and health concerns. The intent of the study, which City staff expect will be underway within a couple of weeks, is to identify potential solutions — both immediate and long-term. The money will be taken from the City’s enterprise fund, which is funded exclusively through casino proceeds. That seems appropriate to us. Our concern is what happens next. We have no problem with the expenditure, as long as the result isn’t simply another document that ends up on a shelf somewhere collecting dust, and provided the solution isn’t simply to remove the issue from the park — effectively relocating it to some other part of the community (or to another community). There are some challenging factors with the park that, as far as we can tell, can’t be changed. Its relative isolation, for one, makes it an ideal spot to carry on any number of illegal and disruptive activities, away from prying eyes. And the convenient downtown location no doubt contributes to the park’s desirability as a place to congregate. We’re interested to know what, if anything, the City can do to get a real and lasting handle on the problem. It’s no doubt worth five grand to the people who live around Rotary Centennial Park to find out.

Quiet heroism at work they

When tragedy strikes, there are often unsung heroes who step up and take charge. One such incident happened in Sooke about a month ago, when a fire ripped through Grant Manor. The fire left close to 20 people homeless. All of those living in Grant Manor, an affordable housing facility, had some form of disability, be it physical or mental. The fire left many of them scattered throughout the region. Some were lucky enough to find a new home, others relied on the charity of friends and family, or pitched a tent and hoped for the best. Luckily, at least at the outset, there were social service agencies there to lend assistance. Still, all was not well. As the days and weeks passed, it became apparent that more was needed – much more. There were individual and smaller groups coming together, but there wasn’t one group that could speak and find help where needed. All these groups came together last week under one fundraising wing, and everything seems to be coming together. Household goods, money and other donations appear to be going to the right places or individuals. The former residents of Grant Manor are getting their lives back together. There will be many ups and downs for those residents in the weeks and months ahead, but now they know someone has got their back. Those who have stepped up to help have shown a quiet heroism we can all be proud of, and too often goes unrecognized. – Sooke News Mirror

There is no The facts about writing off taxes money for light rail in Valley Editor: John Winter argues (The Times, July 24) that the mayors should consider light rail for the Valley, but I wonder if he has been following the news lately. The public has just rejected a proposal to implement a tax to fund the region’s portion of the mayors’ plan for improving the transportation infrastructure throughout Metro Vancouver. That plan included a light rail system in Langley and Surrey. Bottom line, there is no money for light rail for the Valley. BILL MASSE, LANGLEY

Cap Township pay at $100,000 Editor: I would like to add to G. Blatt’s letter ‘Saddened by salaries’ (The Times, July 10). I am in complete agreement with the suggestions in that letter but would like to add that respect as well as responsibility be shown to the taxpayer by capping salaries at no more than $100,000. I was appalled to learn of the salaries for these seven Township employees. The release of the report is required by law. I’m wondering if these employees felt any shame or embarrassment by this exposure? L. COELHO, LANGLEY

Keep the negativity coming, Stephen Harper Editor: I have a message for Stephen (soon to be exPrime Minister of Canada) Harper. Please, Steve, just keep running those negative ads trashing Justin Trudeau. Just about every single person that I have spoken to in the last several weeks is as sickened by them as I am. So please, keep showing those ads, and reap the benefits this fall. Happy job hunting. I for one can hardly wait for Justin Trudeau to be our next Prime Minister. JACK MCEWEN, LANGLEY

To set the record straight An editorial in Wednesday’s edition of the Langley Times incorrectly indicated that the City’s Terry Fox run is a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. In fact, it raises money for the national Terry Fox Foundation. The Times regrets the error.

Editor: I am responding to the article by Jim Bronskill from the Canadian Press (langleytimes.com, July 13) concerning the amount of tax debt determined by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to be noncollectable. Here are the facts: When a tax debt is written off, it is not because the CRA does not have the resources to collect the debt. Rather it is because there is no reasonable prospect of recovery, or the amount is noncollectable, due to the expiration of the legal limitation period to collect, or the debtor is insolvent. For perspective: in fiscal year 20132014, the agency collected a total of $330.9 billion in taxes and other revenues such as Employment Insurance premiums, Canada Pension Plan contributions, interest and penalties. The amount written off

— $3.4 billion — represents only one per cent of the total tax collected. Even when an account is written off, it may remain collectible and the taxpayer’s obligation to pay may not be eliminated. The CRA has the right to collect the debt in the future if the taxpayer is located or their financial situation improves. Further, the CRA’s actions to address offshore tax evasion have never been more substantial. Most recently, Economic Action Plan (EAP) 2015 invested an additional $58.2 million for tax avoidance by large and complex entities, and an additional $25.3 million to address offshore non-compliance. Because of these efforts we are seeing results. The dramatic increase in taxpayer submissions to the CRA’s Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP) indicates

Replace UCCB with affordable daycare Editor: When I received my little (and very taxable) UCCB (Universal Child Care Benefit) cheque in the mail yesterday, I put my ear to the ground and could hear a swiftly approaching election. This new UCCB is only a fraction of the average cost of daycare. Parents need affordable daycare not summer pocket money. I suspect affordable and accessible day care would boost the economy in a much larger and long-term manner than a blip on the consumer summer spending graph. Another significant benefit to childcare/ early childhood education — In Time Healthline — June 9, 2011 Maia Szalavitz writes: “To cut crime, raise education and income levels, and reduce addiction rates among the poor, no program offers more bang for the buck than preschool, as a new study published in Science demonstrates.” It is commonly estimated that for every dollar spent on preschool, seven dollars is saved. Where else can you get that rate of return? Does each party have a plan in place for affordable daycare? How about quality regulated early childhood education that transitions seamlessly to kindergarten? It would also create good jobs for early childhood educators and perhaps teachers who want summer work. MICHELLE MATICH, LANGLEY

that Canadians are aware of the CRA’s focus on detecting and deterring offshore non-compliance. More than 5,000 disclosures related to offshore activities were received by the CRA from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014, leading to the identification of $303 million in unreported income. Compare that to fiscal year 2014-15, where that number rose to 10,188 disclosures and $708 million in identified unreported income. This is millions of dollars that, as a result of concerted government action, is now being collected and returned to Canada’s revenue base. MIREILLE LAROCHE, DEPUTY ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER COLLECTIONS AND VERIFICATION BRANCH, CANADA REVENUE AGENCY

Emergency wait was ‘disheartening’ experience Editor: Just recently I had an unfortunate cardiac episode which needed urgent care and was rushed, via ambulance, to Langley Memorial Hospital’s emergency department. It was like going to a Third World hospital. Stretchers couldn’t be rushed through the halls expediently as they are too narrow — plus they were full of other stretchers, carts, and people. There were three other stretchers, with all their accompanying ambulance people ahead of us, and very soon three other sets behind us. As I lay looking at the walls, I noticed they were dirty and pitted, with gyprock torn off. Finally, after three hours in the emergency room, we saw one of the rushed and harried doctors. It turned out well for me in the end, thankfully, but the emergency department was so small and crowded with carts of linen and supplies, people and staff coming and going. The floors and walls were dirty, there were lots of house

flies buzzing around and landing on me in the stretcher behind the emergency room curtain. A police group were guarding a drugged-up young woman next door. Finally, one of the doctors told my two children: “Get your loved one out of here before they get sick.” I know it is not the doctors’ and nurses’ fault, but the hospital is far too small and not funded with our collected Langley property tax money — as usual. It was very disheartening to witness, having been released from a clean, fantastic, wellrun, but old, hospital recently (St Paul’s). It is a disgrace to our lovely Langley community that we cannot even have a clean, well-run emergency department to assist our large growing population. Heaven help us in a huge disaster scenario such as an earthquake. A. GOSSE, LANGLEY

While Kevin Burton always enjoyed a cup of coffee, he was not what you would classify as a connoisseur. That has changed. Drinking multiple cups per day — Burton estimates he’s at four or five cups daily — helps him in his line of work, as the business owner of Coffee on the Coast. The business, which originally opened in June 2014, relocated to Langley City earlier this month, in Sundel Square. Coffee on the Coast offers close to 600 different kinds of coffee, tea and hot chocolates, each sold in individual single-serve pods. When customers enter the store, they are greeted by the coffee aroma as the shelves are lined wall-to-wall of all that the store has to offer. And from that selection, people can put together an assortment of products, with 24 pods selling for $17.99 — less than a dollar a cup. Some of the premium ones are a bit more expensive. Burton moved west from Ontario to set up

MONIQUE TA MMING A Time s Re po rte r

GARY AHUJA L an gley Time s

Kevin Burton has opened up Coffee on the Coast in Langley City. The unique business offers hundreds of different types of coffees, teas and hot chocolates, all available by the individual pod. his business and he is banking on people like himself to support Coffee on the Coast. “I never loved coffee that much to commit to a full box,” he explained. “I always wanted to try this and that. “And as soon as I realized there are so many options available, that’s when I began thinking about how can I put this into a business and build this.”

And having sampled everything that his store has for sale, Burton can also share his experiences. “In each stage of my coffee lifestyle, I have found new things and I have developed different tastes,” he said. Not knowing much about the Lower Mainland when he moved here last year from Ontario, the 27-year-old Burton first set up his business in Whalley. But while he loved

the area — he still lives in Whalley — it wasn’t the right fit for his business, which lacked foot traffic in the area. Burton — who also has a silent partner in the business — said he looked at about a dozen locations before choosing the Sundel Square location. “It is a nice walkable street and there are lots of other good businesses in the area,” he said. Much of his clientele

from the original location has also followed Burton to Langley, he said. This is Burton’s first venture into his own business, although he does have plenty of retail experience. The store is located at #106 20226 Fraser Hwy. They open daily at 10 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. Monday to Wednesday, 8 p.m. on Thursday and Friday and 5 p.m. on weekends.

The former Liquidation World space has been sitting empty for a few years, but the 20,000 square foot building has now been given a new lease on life. Bibles For Mission thrift store is moving in, and it is expected to be open by mid-August. BFM has outgrown its current location at 5785 200 St., where it was located for more than 20 years. “Parking has been the real issue for a long time,” said BFM manager Arlene Roersma. “Our new location has three times the space, too.” Roersma has worked at the 200 Street location for more than six years, first as a volunteer then, the past four years, as the manager. There are close to 100 volunteers at the Langley location alone. BFM thrift stores are located across Canada and raise millions of dollars for missions in poor countries. They have been and are a busy store. “It’s the thrill of the hunt,” said Roersma. Clothing is always their number one seller, then books. But right now, anything retro is all the rage. “People like funky and unique,” she said. The new location at “Rainbow Mall” is right at the Logan Avenue bus exchange, which recently had new lighting put in. There are a few vacant store fronts at the mall and Langley City Mayor Ted Schaffer has been in constant contact with the property owner. Thrift stores are popular in Langley City, with the Penny Pincher thrift store buying the former Coast Capital building and moving onto the one-way. Another thrift store, Battered and Abused Women’s Thrift, moved into where McFrugal’s used to be on 56 Avenue. New Hope for Children thrift store moved in to the 56 Avenue store where Penny Pincher was previously located.

RBC Foundation has donated $20,000 to the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation to purchase a life-saving transport defibrillator for the Critical Care Unit at LMH. Defibrillation is the delivery of lifesaving electrical energy to the heart during an abnormal rhythm or very rapid erratic beating of the heart. A defibrillator jolts the heart with an electric shock, forcing a contraction, in the hopes of re-establishing a regular rhythm. Unlike a typical defibrillator, a transport defibrillator is packed with innovative functionality — it continuously monitors a patient’s vital signs while they are being taken to other parts of the hospital or another facility for specialized testing or it can be transported on its own directly to the site of a patient in need. This piece of equipment is integral to the care provided at Langley Memorial Hospital. The goal is to have one on each floor.

Stuart leads Canada to double gold CANADIAN MEN’S SOFTBALL TEAM WINS TITLES AT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, PAN AM GAMES GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s

The month of July is one John Stuart is not likely to forget anytime soon. It began with Canada capturing their first world men’s softball championship since 1992 — and for the first time on home soil — in Saskatoon. And the month ended with Canada pulling off the double-double, taking gold at the Pan American Games in Toronto. “It still kind of feels surreal,” said Stuart, the head coach for Team Canada. “It was an unbelievable experience. “To get Canada back on the map as one of the top countries in the world and then go to Toronto for the Pan Am Games and win gold there, it has been just unbelievable.” At the world championships, Canada defeated the defending champions from New Zealand 10-5 in the gold medal game on July 5. New Zealand had beaten Canada 9-5 earlier the day before in the playoff round, forcing them to play Venezuela to see which team would face New Zealand in the final. Canada won that game 10-0 and then later that day, topped their well-rested opponent for the gold. For the tournament, Canada

Langley Xtreme U14B’s Kayla Michael delivers a pitch during the provincial championships earlier this month in Maple Ridge. The Xtreme capped off a fantastic season by winning the bronze medal as the team complied an overall record of 65-7 with six gold medals. The thirdplace finish was one of four bronze medals captured in the different age groups by Langley and North Langley teams, the only association in the province which is able to make that claim. N EI L C O R B E T T B l a ck P re s s

finished 7-1. And they took that momentum to Toronto for the Pan Am Games, where they went 7-0 and beat Venezuela 2-1 in the gold medal game on July 18. “They are special in their own way just because we have been with this group of guys, basically for the most part, since 2010,” Stuart said. The 50-year-old Stuart was named head coach of the squad back in November, but has been involved with Team Canada in some capacity since 2006. But Stuart — who played baseball until he was 21 and took up softball at 16 — was coaching and managing as far back as when he played. “I enjoy coaching and managing a team probably more than I did playing,” he admitted. He downplayed his role in helping Canada win the gold medal at both events.

“The players did it all,” Stuart said. “Basically, there is not a lot of coaching at this level; you are basically just managing a team and putting a lineup out and letting them play ball.” “If you are over-coaching these guys, it doesn’t work,” Stuart added. “They are the best in the world for a reason so go let them play and manage the game the best you can. The only thing I could have done was screw up.” Despite having two sons, Stuart has never coached kids, preferring to coach adults instead. Stuart moved to Langley in 2008 and he has two hockey playing sons: 19-year-old Levi and 15-year-old Brodi. The family moved to Langley from Squamish – Stuart and his wife Barb grew up in the small town — so his sons could pursue hockey. Stuart also works with the Vancouver Giants in a fundraising capacity for their education program, as well as running JSSports, which does fundraising events. Stuart will spend the rest of the summer scouting club teams in preparation for the winter when they name the new 40-man roster for Team Canada.

Langley’s John Stuart was the helm of Team Canada as head coach of the men’s softball team which won gold at both the world championships in Saskatoon and then the Pan American Games in Toronto.

Bronze lining for Xtreme teams While gold is always the goal, the Langley rep B fastball program was successful in another significant feat. The program was able to capture four bronze medals in various age groups at the provincial championships earlier this month, the only association able to make that claim. Xtreme 2003 In the U12 division, the Xtreme used dogged determination and their bench strength to finish third out of 16 teams at Richmond’s London Park. Langley went 4-0 during pool play and lost twice in the playoff round to the eventual provincial champs, the Richmond Islanders, and the silver medallist Surrey Storm.

The team finished the tournament 8-2. Xtreme 2001 The Langley Xtreme U14B team capped off a dominating season by winning bronze in Maple Ridge. The team — which had captured six tournaments over the course of the season — was the top seed going into the playoff round but the Richmond Islanders beat them twice on their way to the gold medal. The Xtreme finished the season with an eye-popping record of 65-7. Xtreme 1999 The Langley Xtreme 1999 went 7-3 in Cloverdale to win the bronze medal in the U16B division. Continued Page 19

Overtime heroics for Rush Every kid dreams of scoring the overtime winner — especially with a medal on the line — and Myka Davis is one of the few who can say he made the dream a reality. After Connor Kahle carried the ball into the offensive zone, he made a drop pass to Cody Bathgate, who rifled a slapshot at the Manitoba goaltender. And Davis was in the right spot at the right time, burying home the rebound with three minutes to go in the extra period and giving the Valley Ball Hock-

The teams were playing in the third-place game at the Western Challenge Cup earlier this month (July 16 to 19) in Surrey. The Gold Rush had gone 3-1 in the round robin, setting up a semifinal showdown against Ridge Meadows — who had already beaten them once in the tournament. The Gold Rush trailed 2-1 at the half, and playing their second game of the day against a rested opponent, surrendered a pair of goals in the second half to fall 4-1.

Midget Thunder take bronze The Langley midget A1 Thunder edged Ridge Meadows 8-7 to capture the bronze medal. The team was competing at the midget provincial box lacrosse championships over the weekend in

lumbar support, lights, leather seatsupport fog lights ing surfaces, a power sunroof, and LED signature daytime running lights. While it might not be everyone’s first choice in colour, the Jetta diesel’s Toffee Brown Metallic looks like a cold glass of root beer on wheels. Yum. I found it to be refreshing and different. As for the ride and handling, this Jetta does not disappoint. One of my favourite features – aside from the 150 horsepower and 236 horsepower from its 2.0L, turbo engine – is how it handles. The steering weight gives enough feedback to the driver to make tight turns engaging. And when paired with the DSG transmission, not only is city traffic more manageable, but less work for your left leg! If you find yourself towing a lot, or even wanting to go off the straight and narrow, consider the 2015 VW Touareg TDI. With ample room for five inside, this SUV comes with all the right touches. The refreshed interior design and styling is highly appealing to those who want a posh truck, without paying the equivalent price of its familiar equivalents: the Porsche Cayenne Diesel or the Audi Q7 TDI. The Touareg’s starting MSRP comes in at $55,275 and goes from there.

The Execline is the top-of-the-line trim and starts at $69,575. Okay, that’s a decent amount of coin, and it’s not for everyone, but all trims of Touareg come with the same great 3.0L, turbocharged, V6 engine offering 240 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. This engine is then linked with an eightspeed automatic transmission. The panoramic sunroof lets in a copious amount of daylight onto the Terracotta Brown Vienna Leather seats and into the cabin. A strong point of VWs as long as I can remember is how its cabin says so much with saying so little. For example: the centre stack. The perfect combination of buttons and touchscreen make the infotainment so easy to use and one that is not hard to navigate. Then there’s the fuel economy. In the city, it uses an estimated 12.0L/100km in the city and 8.1L/100km on the highway. Not bad for a vehicle that weighs in at 2,130 kg and has allwheel drive. There are a couple more TDI options for you, too. There’s the larger Passat sedan and then there’s the funky Beetle. Visit www.vw.ca for more information. Alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca
