Langley Township Councillor Charlie Fox wants to see vacant homes either fixed up or demolished. This home has been standing for three years after a fire.
Township council
Council mulls demolition laws
A new bylaw could see derelict houses around Langley Township knocked down. by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
The Langley Township council is looking at forcing property owners to tear down or fix up derelict and vacant homes. Councillor Charlie Fox’s motion to amend the Abandoned Properties Bylaw would set a 30-day deadline after a house is declared “uninhabitable” by police, the fire department, or Township engineers. Fox said he has been thinking about the problem all summer. A house near his South Langley home caught fire more than a year ago, he said. Every day he drives past the damaged and abandoned building, which has been sitting there ever since. “There’s never been an effort to put it back into a habitable condition,” said Fox. There are a number of similar fire-dam-

Car show
American Graffiti comes to life A Langley car buff has spent countless hours to help recreate movie magic. by Troy Landreville
tlandreville@langleyadvance.com
Strolling along Fraser Highway and nearby streets during CruiseIn Saturday, it seemed as though roughly every third registered vehicle on display belonged to a Langley resident. There was no shortage of local participation at Langley Good Times Cruise-In, the single largest annual event in the community. One of the locals, John VanWerkhoven, parked his American Graffiti-inspired bright yellow 1932 five-window Coupe and black 1955 Chevy Sedan (identical to the one actor Harrison Ford’s character drove) beside one another midway into the one-way portion of Fraser Highway. VanWerkhoven is mad about American Graffiti, the George Lucas-directed 1973 nostalgia film revolving around hot rods and pop culture in 1962. In fact, he’s such a fan of the coming-of-age flick, he brought two of the film’s more famous cars to life. “It was just one of these kid dreams,” VanWerkhoven said. “I liked the yellow car, wanted to build it, and decided I would build both of them.” VanWerkhoven acquired what he describes as a “shell” of the ’32 Coupe’s body in Alberta. It took five years for the car to be completely rebuilt.

Langley resident John VanWerkhoven brought his American Graffiti-inspired bright yellow 1932 five-window Coupe and black 1955 Chevy Sedan to Cruise-In. “I had a lot of individuals help me out on it,” VanWerkhoven said, regarding the striking car that during Cruise-In had a pair of roller skates positioned near its tires, with a DVD copy of American Graffiti inserted into the boot of one of them. Willowbrook Collision did the body work and the paint, and other local companies including B&N Hot Rods and Pass Time Auto Hotrod Builders were key contributors to the restoration work.
Henry Peters from Langley brought his trio of 970 Oldsmobile Rallye 350s to the Langley Good Times Cruise-In.

lands, the Township has the right of first refusal and can buy them back. “The community made it very clear to the Township council they wanted to see these lands preserved,” said Froese. However, Councillor Michelle Sparrow said she opposed the deal. In an email to the Langley Advance, Sparrow said she’s worried what could happen if TWU sells the land in the future and the Township can’t buy it. It could still be turned into housing, Sparrow said. The money from the sale of the lands will go into the Township’s Land Reserve Fund, for future land purchases.

ated a gravel pit on and off there for several years. Other portions of the land had been restored by local streamkeepers in the 1990s. The new deal will keep the bulk of the wetlands to the north of Grey Pit from being developed. Froese said the deal will keep the lands open to the public, and will also allow rights-of-way to be created, so any paths created from the Township lands will be able to continue onto the TWU properties. The Township has also agreed to offer TWU the right to purchase one of the gravel pit lots in the next five years. If TWU ever chooses to sell the

Most of the lands known as Gray Pit or McLellan Forest East have been bought by Trinity Western University and will not be logged. A 25-acre parcel of land, in five lots, is being sold to TWU for $2.5 million. The land will be sold with a restrictive covenant that allows only the construction of buildings that enhance the land’s use as a conservation area, or for environmental research and educational purposes. A contract has been signed and the sale is expected to be finalized soon. “We finally concluded one chapter,” said Township Mayor Jack Froese. The donation came from Ann Blaauw, a local woman, in honour of her late husband Thomas. Residents in Glen Valley have fought tooth and nail to prevent the Township from selling off two sizeable parcels of land, totalling about 45 acres altogether. The Township agreed last year to keep the western portion of lands, a heavily-treed area known as McLellan Forest. However, the council still wanted to sell the eastern lands, known as Gray Pit.

Running for good things
Years ago, when BC Place Stadium was being built and the people in charge were considering what to call it, there was a strong lobby to name it after a young fellow who had recently failed in his attempt to run all the way from the Atlantic Ocean in Newfoundland to the Pacific in B.C. The powers that be discarded the suggestion. They felt that the young man who lost his battle to cancer not long after he was forced to truncate Scan his trek across Canada would with soon be forgotten, and it would leave everyone puzzled as to why anyone had bothered to name such an important edifice after “some Terry Fox kid.” Leave aside the backwards logic of that decision – we name buildings and places to remember the people we honour, not to add prestige to a building – the one-legged runner who brought all of Canada to tears when he was forced to abort his Marathon of Hope at Thunder Bay, near the halfway point of his quest, remains a household name throughout Canada and beyond. In fact, Terry Fox’s goal – initially to raise a million dollars, later upgraded to $24 million (one dollar for every Canadian at the time) for cancer research – has been shattered many times over. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been raised through annual Terry Fox Runs, simple fundraising events by which runners, walkers, and strollers honour a young man whose courage and determination has inspired millions of people in at least 60 countries around the world. On Sunday, Terry Fox’s marathon continues, with walk/runs slated for Langley City (start from the Douglas Park band shell at 10 a.m.) and Walnut Grove (start 9 a.m. at the community centre parking lot, 8889 Walnut Grove Drive). Bikes, wheelchairs, strollers, and roller blades are welcome at both events, as are dogs on leash. Terry Fox’s real goal – to overcome cancer – has not yet been realized. But we’re running towards it! – B.G.

Dear Editor, First, we would like to thank Troy Landreville for his article and photo that artfully presented our book, Surfacing, in a full page just before our June 22nd launch [Writers played ‘ping pong’ to create novel, June 18, Langley Advance]. For Natasha, who worked as a community newspaper reporter for more than three decades, the prospect of being interviewed for the first time by another reporter caused a little apprehension. There was no need, as Troy was friendly and utterly professional, and put us both at ease. Thanks, too, to Coles book store in Willowbrook Shopping Centre, IGA in Murrayville, Otter Co-op, and Wendel’s in Fort Langley for carrying our book and hosting meet-the-author events to promote it. We should also mention that Surfacing is available on Amazon in paperback form, and for downloading from Kindle and Kobo. We also had great fun, and a most successful day at Arts Alive!

We loved being put on the hot seat by the residents who peppered us with questions about how two people could write one book. They were intrigued to learn that we composed Surfacing in an exchange of emails, taking about eight months to complete our first draft. Thank you, Langley, for helping to make Surfacing such a success, and thanks to the Langley Advance for continuing to promote Langley’s authors and artists.

Langley RCMP are looking for a man who entered the Rendez-Vous pub in the 20600 block of 56th Avenue in Langley City on July 11.

London taxi cab cruises in
One of the world’s most distinctive taxi cabs came to Langley. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Alex Green drives a cab, but he won’t be stopping to pick up riders at the curb in Langley. Green’s ride, which he showed off in the Concours d’Elegance section of the Langley Good Times Cruise-In, is a classic-style London cab. The London cabs, also known as black cabs, only came in a few designs and were remarkably consistent over the decades. Green’s cab is a 1996 design, but it’s only by small details or peeking under the hood that you could tell it apart from any cab from 1948 to 1998. “This is the original black cab design,” said Green. He saw a friend’s 1975 London cab a few years ago and became interested in the vehicles. When he found the 1996 model for sale last summer, he bought it quickly. “Because I’m nuts,” he said of his reason for getting the car. “My wife says, ‘You’re

However, that means the pre-1998 models using the old-style design are now becoming hard to find. Green’s own cab is totally stock, he said. He’s got to work on the some rust, but otherwise it’s in excellent running order. It runs on a four-cylinder Nissan diesel engine, and
isn’t that fast. “It’s a fun car, that’s all,” said Green. There aren’t any luxuries in it, but driving it around town is fun. “You get a lot of turned heads,” he said. British expats and recently returned tourists recognize it right away, he said. Green’s son Daniel is thinking of getting a license to drive the cab as a limousine, for couples on their wedding day or other special events, but it won’t be a proper cab in the future.

Prolific crooks plead guilty to stolen property charges Some frequent offenders have been sentenced, while another has been arrested. by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
The men arrested by the ERT in a Langley hotel last year have been convicted on a long list of charges related to 18 break and enters. Ivan Logan Johnson, a 33-year-old New Westminster man, and Dave Joseph Yaroslawsky, a 31-year-old from Surrey, have both pleaded guilty after being charged with 68 property related offenses. The two men have been held in custody since they were arrested at the Super 8 motel on Glover Road in Milner on March 2, 2012. A tip to police about a suspicious man checking into the hotel resulted in a police check, and the discovery that one man was wanted on an arrest warrant. Police learned en route that the men might be armed. Local RCMP officers, with help from the Emergency Response Team, the Uniformed Gang Task Force, a helicopter, and the Police Dog Services, surrounded the room. The men emerged after two hours and surrendered. Inside the hotel room, police found three loaded handguns, among about 250 items, thought to come from the 18 break and enters around the Lower Mainland. Johnson has now been sentenced to two years in jail and another two years
probation after his release. He has already been in custody for a year and was given credit for that time. Yaroslawsky has pled guilty to numerous offences including possession of stolen firearms, and will be sentenced on Nov. 1 this year.
Prolific offender nabbed
One of the men dubbed a prolific offender by the Langley RCMP was arrested and was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday. Cody John Ball, a 24-year-old Aldergrove man, has been charged with two counts of driving while disqualified, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and flight from police. On Sept. 4, police spotted a man thought to be Ball driving a Chevrolet Cavalier around Aldergrove. The officer knew that Ball was banned from driving, and a check of the plate number showed it belonged to a brown Oldsmobile, not the white Chevy. The officers tried to pull the Chevy over, but it appeared to intentionally back into an unmarked police car. The Chevy then fled at high speed. For reasons of public safety, there was no attempt to chase the Chevrolet, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. However, the officers did arrange to have charges filed against Ball. On the evening of Sept. 5, the Street Enforcement Unit spotted Ball again driving around Aldergrove. There was no attempt to pull him over, and officers waited until he returned home and arrested him there without incident.

Neighbour fears green light speed
Rumble rocked
A 16th Avenue resident is worried a new traffic light will endanger his family.
The 2013 Grant Thornton Community Classic – Road Hockey Rumble scored big as a fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley (BBBSL). Saturday’s ball hockey competition at the McLeod Athletic Park sports box involved both adult and children’s teams and raised more than $9,000 for BBBSL. The funds go to support BBBSL programs.

Crime
Langley man arrested after six-hour stand-off by Christine Toth
Glacier Media
A stand-off that lasted more than six hours on Sept. 4 ended with the arrest of a man wanted on several warrants, reports the Abbotsford Police Department. The incident also ended without any injuries. Abbotsford Police officers
responded to a call about a domestic dispute in the 1900 block of Catalina Crescent just before noon Wednesday. A female resident came to the door of the detached home, and denied there was any problem. However, the investigating officers heard noises in the house and determined that a male occupant, who turned out to be wanted on three
separate warrants, appeared to be hiding somewhere in the house. Police secured the area and after several hours of negotiating, convinced Bernard William David Barton to give himself up. Barton, 37, was arrested and is in custody in relation to two APD warrants for theft and mischief, and a Langley RCMP warrant for possession of stolen property.
Brian Harder wants Langley Township council to do something about fast traffic heading past his driveway on 16th Avenue. Harder lives just to the east of the intersection of 248th Street and 16th Avenue. At Monday’s Langley Township council meeting, he said the recently activated traffic light at the corner is allowing trucks and cars to speed up and over the hill. Getting out of his driveway is now dangerous, he said. “You’re going to kill me, my wife, or one of my family members,” Harder said. Although 16th Avenue has a 60 km/h speed limit, the average speed is much closer to 80 km/h, Harder noted. When 248th and 16th was a four-way stop, big trucks in particular had to slow down and came up the hill at a reasonable speed. Now, if they have a green light heading east, they can barrel through and keep going at 80 km/h or more over the hill, as can other cars, said Harder. Harder has said he spoke to Township road engineers, and they are putting up a ‘hidden driveway’ sign, but he doesn’t think that’s acceptable. He believes that the only solution is to cut off the top of the hill to give better sightlines so he can see oncoming traffic. He believes that would cost about $750,000. Harder said he is not worried about the vehicles going even faster if the hill was lower, as it’s the visibility that is the real issue. He simply can’t see if a car is coming fast until it’s over the crest of the hill. The council voted to send Harder’s concerns to staff for a report.

Just a few weeks ago, I had the privilege of telling you about Aldor Acres and their efforts to help Special Olympics during their 25th anniversary open house. Great news is they managed to raise more than $2,000 for the cause. And now, I’m delighted to tell you that the staff at Staples in Langley have done something similar. They raised $2,007 during the company’s Give a Toonie – Share a Dream campaign that ran earlier this year. And the team was recognized for their efforts. That’s pretty awesome work on the part of everyone at the local Staples store who were joined by Special Olympic athletes in asking customers to donate a toonie or more for the cause. When the tally was done on the last day of the national campaign, the local team brought in the most, not only from donation collections in store,

About two dozen barbecue “pitmasters” from across the Pacific Northwest will put their culinary skills to the test Sept. 15 during the eighth annual cook-off, which is free to the public. Angie Quaale, owner of Well Seasoned gourmet food store and the event’s organizer, said BBQ on the Bypass started in 2005 as a way to introduce foodies to a style of cuisine that many in these parts likely weren’t too familiar with. “We wanted people to see what real southern style barbecue was like,” she said. “No one really knew what it was.” Quaale’s vision was to create a regional competition, certified

Tiny stage challenges Langley dancer
From contemporary dance, to art, to a bounty of flowers – it’s all on display this weekend. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com
L
angley dancer and choreographer Julianne Chapple is making her premiere with a Vancouver dance company this weekend, on a very tiny stage. After graduating from the Langley Fine Arts School, Chapple spent a year studying and performing in Europe where she was awarded a residency in Italy, as well as a full scholarship to attend the Tipperary Dance Lab in Ireland. Upon returning to Canada last November, she was one of six choreographers chosen to participate in the Co:lab project at the Scotiabank Dance Centre in Vancouver. Now, she is scheduled to premiere a new solo work at Dances for a Small Stage. The show, hosted Thursday through Saturday at the Ukrainian Centre on East 10th Avenue in Vancouver, will feature a series of young artists performing on a 10 ft. X 13 ft. stage. “Because of the relaxed nature of Dance for a Small Stage, it’s been hugely successful at developing new audiences for contemporary dance,” said MovEnt artistic producer JulieAnne Saroyan. “By going to casual venues like bars, legions, and now a Ukrainian Centre, Small Stage makes it easy and incredibly fun for people to try contemporary dance on for size,” she added, noting it’s inspired by a similiar program run in Quebec. Doors open at 7 p.m. and it is restricted to 19 years or older. Tickets are $20 in advance at small-stage. eventbrite.ca or cash only at the door.

The game ended in a draw, securing first place for Piasetski. The event was held at the Brookswood Senior Centre, and attracted 55 players from B.C., including many juniors and several Canadian champions of various ages. It is the third largest annual tournament in B.C., and is attended by top players in the region. Brian Davidson photo

Tiller’s Folly featured in Nashville by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com
T
iller’s Folly, a band which has its roots in Langley, has been selected to appear in a new TV show called Music City Roots: Live from The Loveless Cafe. This 13-episode series will premiere Friday, Sept. 13 on its hometown station of Nashville Public Television, then – soon after – is expected to be distributed by American Public Television, explained Langley’s Laurence Knight, the bass player and vocalist for the 15-year-old acoustic roots band. “We just learned we have been chosen as part of a very select few acts to appear as part of the inaugural televised series,” Knight announced at the end of August. He’s ecstatic the series will air in tens of millions of homes spanning more than 65 per cent of the country “as of this writing.” “We will appear as part of episode seven and our set will feature the tunes Coming Down, Old Hank, and Lonesome Fiddle Blues.”

The third annual Community Carnival, at RC Garnett Demonstration Elementary, 7069 201st St., runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday Sept. 14 (not until 4 p.m., as was incorrectly stated in the Tuesday edition of the Langley Advance). The event, which attracted about 700 people last year, features carnival games, bouncy castles, face painting, and cake walks as well as hot dogs, hamburgers, and cotton candy. The alcohol-free, familybased carnival is aimed at forging local community relationships, explained Lisa Gunn of the Willows Community Church. There is limited parking. Another local church, Langley Immanuel Christian Reformed, is also offering a community festival this weekend, 2-5 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 15. The church is at 21713 50th Ave.

Be Wild Animal Aware
Langley Township is full of wildlife WARNING Langley has a large habitat and people share the area with deer population animals including bears, cougars, and USE CAUTION ON ROADS coyotes. Residents throughout Langley need not be continually on alert, but action can be taken to deter wild animals if they are spotted in your area. Parents should teach children what to do if they encounter these animals, especially if they play by themselves in areas that wildlife frequent or have been seen in the past. To help people coexist with creatures that are simply trying to survive but can be dangerous if provoked, the following information is offered:
Bears: are very active this time of year as they search for food to fatten up for hibernation. Bears have a keen sense of smell and garbage and other food sources could easily attract a bear to your neighbourhood. Once they get a taste of human food, bears may not want to go back to natural food sources and could lose their fear of people. A bear’s movement is mostly dictated by food availability, so if it is not available, the bear will move on. Langley has had bear sightings this year. Please do your part to prevent human/wildlife conflict and keep bears from having to be destroyed. If you encounter a bear, do not run. Act big and loud, and back away slowly to a safe place.
Cougars: can have kittens throughout the year and family groups can
be seen at any time. Cougars survive on natural food sources found in the wild, primarily deer.
Cougar attacks on humans are highly unlikely. However, if you encounter a cougar, do not run. Pick children up immediately and talk to the cougar in a confident voice. Act big by waving sticks and branches, and back away slowly while still facing the cougar. If it attacks, fight back.

Coyotes: have the largest population of potentially dangerous
wildlife in the area and can be seen year round, even in residential areas. Family groups have been regularly seen around Langley. Coyotes are bold and easily lose their natural fear of people. Never feed a coyote. If you encounter a coyote, scare it off by making loud noise or throwing something at it to make it afraid. Never ignore a coyote. If it continues to approach, do not run. Maintain eye contact, pick up small pets or children, and slowly move to an area of increased activity.
In Residential Areas: Reduce the smell of food by keeping barbecues clean. Keep pet food inside. Garbage is the biggest attraction for bears so keep it secure and inaccessible to wildlife. Do not leave garbage cans out overnight: keep them in the house, a locked garage, or secured outbuilding that cannot be broken into by large, smart bears. Put them out only on the morning of collection. If you are worried about odour, keep garbage in the freezer until collection day. Do not use bird feeders, as they attract bears and the birds do not need seeds when other natural food sources are available.
In Agricultural Areas: Protect your investment by keeping fences secure and free of damage that predators can use for access. Coyotes burrow, so ensure surrounding netting goes deep into the ground. Use electric fencing to deter bears from blueberries and beehives, and pick berries and fruit as they ripen. Be vigilant with livestock and keep them secure. Farm animals are usually killed at night, so bring them inside in the evening. It is an offence to attract wildlife into a residential neighbourhood. Those who do not take steps to deter bears and other wild creatures can face a fine of up to $575. To report poachers or polluters or if you have a problem with wildlife call: Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) 1.877.952.7277

Flowers spruce up winter Correct choice gets best result Dear Anne
“I have recently moved to Vancouver and started a little garden on my patio with herbs, lavender, and miscellaneous flowers. Would you have some advice on what plants I could get that would look nice through winter?”
V
In the Garden
Kristina, via email
iolas are available in garden centres right now. The flowers are like little pansies in beautiful pastel colours, but don’t have any “face” patterns. Violas are more resilient to adverse conditions than pansies. Hardy cyclamen plants are also pretty during winter. Cyclamen hederifolium opens pink or white flowers in September, then produces large leaves with intricate patterns of silver and green which carpet the ground till early May when it goes dormant. Cyclamen coum is another dwarf hardy cyclamen with plainer leaves. The flowers it produces in January continue for about eight weeks. The winter-flowering hellebore (Hellebore foetidus) has glossy, dark evergreen leaves and does very well in containers (so do violas and dwarf cyclamen). This hellebore forms clusters of large green grapelike buds in December, which open into clusters of cup-shaped green- and red-rimmed flowers in January. Hellebore orientalis flowers about month later, but has larger, more colourful blooms. It’s been much-hybridized, and blooms range through white, pink, purple-red, and black, with embellishments ranging from dots, picottee, and doubles to nodding and upright types.

If your patio garden is partly in-ground, you might enjoy the winter jasmine (Jasminium nudiflorum) which flowers from November to February. Flowers are small, yellow, non-fragrant, and carried in loose clusters. The stems are bright green. Winter jasmine accepts most soils and is very hardy, but it does need considerable pruning after flowering, because it wants to grow big and sprawling. It is beautiful in winter for several months. Winter heather (Erica carnea) is well suited to containers. It’s fairly dwarf, and in a container might look good around a tall, narrow juniper. The heather flowers for ages in various pinks and whites. Heather and juniper need well-drained soil. Both are quite drought-resistant. Beautiful dwarf conifers with yellow, blue or variegated foliage are available. Conifers are always nice, but always the same, and people who prefer variety through the seasons don’t get it with conifers. But conifers don’t need a lot of upkeep, either. Before buying, ask about their growth rate, and their eventual height and spread. Herbs aside from lavender include some beautiful blue-green-silver leaf

culinary sages, such as ‘Berggarten.’ Parsley is also lovely in a pot, and stands through all but the worst weather. In Vancouver winters, rain is usually more of a hazard than hard freezes. Plants can wet out and rot, rather than dying of cold. This winter, you could get more plant ideas by wandering around a garden centre. January is an especially good time to get a good idea of what else you could expect to flower in your own situation and what kinds of flowers you like best.

Volunteers drive fair’s success …continued from page A15
There will be circus performers and stilt walkers wandering the crowd, 12 food trucks gathered to feed everyone, and a host of vendors. All the vendors are local and make their own items, said Plotkin. A lot of effort goes into making sure they aren’t just giving space to people importing massproduced goods. Alongside the local crafters will be a dozen community organizations promoting their work, including local environ-
mental and streamkeeping groups, equestrians, and the Fraser Valley Regional Library. Plotkin said one of the reasons the fair has been able to keep going for so long is that it has a huge contingent of volunteers who keep it running every year. There are about 50 people setting up and operating the event this year. That also keeps costs down. Tickets are $3 for adults, $2 for seven to 12 year olds, and free for anyone under six, over 65, or wearing a pioneer costume.

Russ Lavery, at the Port Kells Boxing Club gym earlier this week, is scheduled to take on North Burnaby’s Marcus Sandhu in the 135-lb. lightweight division Friday at the Coast Hotel ballroom. The bout is part of the WBC Canadian championships. “He’s a real crafty guy,” Lavery predicts Sandhu will Lavery said, regarding Sandhu. be the one backing up, waiting “I’ve never seen that sort of a for his opportunity to catch him style before.

Lavery started boxing just three-and-a-half years ago and was dealt a bad hand in 2011, when he said he was assaulted and sucker punched outside the ring. He was knocked unconscious and in the process wrecked his ankle. He had surgery with five pins and a plate put into his ankle. The injury forced him out of the sport for the better part of a year. Once back in the gym, Lavery said he grew as a boxer and a person. “I’m way stronger than I was before, both mentally and physically,” Lavery said. “Getting to know Cal so much, we’ve given each other our own personal development. We’ve both come a long way. I have trust in him, he has trust in me, and that’s why I’m so confident for this fight.” Lavery said one of the most important things he has learned in the sport through the years is “being calm when someone is trying to take your head off.” “It’s not normal, but I’ve been working on it lots,” he said. “But I look back on my first fight, and I’m a completely different fighter. If I’m on my game, mentally, I’m unbeatable. I know I am.” continued on page A31…

Spartans add B.C. track star An athlete who enjoyed a highly decorated high school career has joined TWU’s fold.
The Trinity Western track and field team added a massive piece to their puzzle last week as Spartans coach Laurier Primeau announced the signing of sprinter and long-jumper Sabrina Nettey. Nettey, from Surrey, was the 2007 BC Sports Female High School Athlete of the Year. The 5’6” Nettey, who graduated from Johnston Heights Secondary in 2007,

By comparison, at the 2013 CIS championships, Calgary’s Rachel Machin won long jump gold with a jump of 6.01m, while the Canada West long jump record is 6.10m, which was set by Saskatchewan’s Vanessa Monar in 1993. Nettey, who was also the 2007 BC High School Track and Field Most Outstanding Female Performer, most recently competed at the 2013 Summer Universiade in Kazan, Russia, where she finished eighth in her qualification group after jumping 6.22m. • More online at www.langleyadvance.com

Al Harper trains the 24year-old Kim. “Julian’s looking really good in training, as is Russ,” Bennett said. “They both look the best I’ve ever seen them. [Kim] and Russ winning would be huge for this club. It’s an individual sport but everyone’s a sparring partner and everyone’s being supportive and positive.” Featuring local boxers including Lavery, Kim, Ken Huber, Lev Jackson, Jennifer Yager, and
Witts, who trained countless amateur boxers and mixed martial arts fighters over the past half century, moved back to Wales a year ago and is missed by all in the gym. “He was the guy behind the scenes,” Bennett said. “A lot of people don’t know how much he’s been part of the club. He’s been huge for Julian, for Russ, for me as a trainer. He’s a real stand-up guy.” “He’s one guy I’ll never forget,” Lavery said. “He’s just such an interesting guy. He’s someone you want to be around, you know? He gives off good vibes.”
Veteran influence
Kim and Lavery were originally trained by Roy Witts, who on the local scene is considered to be a hybrid between Mickey Goldmill (Rocky Balboa’s fictional manager, played by the late actor Burgess Meredith) and Yoda.

Meet the people ICBC doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want you to meet.
Introducing Sharene Orstad If you have been injured in a car accident, you may think ICBC will take care of you. But insurance companies have a vested interest in saving money and reducing costs, not paying you for your pain, loss or inconvenience. Sharene has been a member of the DBM team for over a decade; working to protect the rights of personal injury victims. At the negotiating table or in court, Sharene will present your case in a manner that ICBC adjusters and lawyers will respect and understand.
LANGLEY OFFICE Suite 205, 19978 72nd Ave. Langley, BC V2Y 1R7 T: 604-534-2131 F: 604-939-7584
If you are injured and wondering what happens next, call DBM to meet Sharene in person for a free initial consultation about your case.
