Suspect arrested in grow op murder A suspect in the shooting death of a young man was likely trying to rip off a marijuana grow op. by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
A 23-year-old Surrey man has been charged with murder in the death of Taylor Johnson, found shot to death in a South Langley home earlier this year. Police say Jesse River Hill has been charged with second degree murder, break and enter with intent, disguise with intent, and discharging a firearm with intent in the slaying of the 21-year-old son of a Delta pastor. The killing was random and Johnson did not know Hill, said Sgt. Jennifer Pound, spokesperson for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. “It was a senseless act that tragically took the life of Taylor,” she said. Johnson was looking after a house in the 2000 block of 200th Street in Langley’s Fernridge neighbourhood. The home contained a marijuana grow operation. His body was found there on Feb. 26, after a call to the RCMP to check on his well being. Pound said police believe the murder was the result of the suspect trying to steal the crop of pot. “This has changed everything in our lives,” said Wendi
Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance
Wendi and Paul Johnson, the parents of murder victim Taylor Johnson, spoke to the media at IHIT’s Surrey headquarters on Thursday. Johnson, Taylor’s step-mother. “It is an open wound that is very raw,” she added. Taylor came from a large family and had five siblings. His biological mother died of cancer when Taylor was a young boy. His father Paul is the lead pastor at the South Delta Baptist Church. The family moved to Canada from Arizona in 2007. Paul said the family is already beginning to extend forgiveness to those responsible for Taylor’s death. “I don’t think there’s any value in hatred or carrying around bitterness,” said Paul. The family does want to see justice done, Paul said, and they
thanked IHIT, and the various police departments including the Langley RCMP and Delta PD that worked with their family or helped with the investigation. But as Christians they want to see the perpetrators change their ways and “get right with God,” Paul said. “We hope that they find Jesus through this event,” he said. Police are not saying much about the circumstances surrounding how Taylor came to be looking after a home with a marijuana grow op inside. “Taylor was a good kid,” said Pound. “He was naive, and he made a bad decision that ultimately cost him his life.”
Taylor’s family described him as a gentle young man who was trusting and caring of others. Pound said there have not been any other arrests linked to the marijuana grow op itself. The scene of the murder was an ostensibly empty house, but immediately after the killing, a neighbour said that there had been a man in his 40s or 50s living there until recently. The grass was cut and trees trimmed, and the driveway gate was always padlocked, the neighbour said. The police have not ruled out the possibility that others may be arrested in the case, Pound said. “Evidence is still coming in,” she said.
Fire department
Two arson fires, one house, one weekend Langley Township firefighters had to visit the same house three times in one weekend. by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
A vacant Langley house is now a scorched shell, after determined efforts to burn it down on the weekend. The house on the southwest corner of 208th Street and 72nd Avenue has been vacant for some time, said Langley Township assistant fire chief Pat Walker. Vacant houses often attract fire bugs, and on Saturday at 9:30 p.m., firefighters were called after someone apparently torched the building. The fire was to the exterior of the southern side of the house,
Troy Landreville/Langley Advance
The vacant house was apparently torched twice on the weekend. and caused significant damage. The firefighters doused the blaze and headed back to the hall. Crews were called again about 12 hours later, at 6:55 a.m. on Sunday morning. This time, Walker said, someone had entered the damaged structure and set the living room on fire.
Walker can’t say how the fires were started, but there is no doubt they are suspicious in nature. “There’s no power to the facility, there’s no gas to the facility,” Walker said. There is now way an electrical short or other issue could have sparked an accidental fire. Firefighters driving by later on
Sunday had to stop for a third time, after they noticed small puffs of smoke coming from the building. An ember from one of the first two fires had lodged in the attic and was smoldering, Walker said. The building is now so severely damaged the building has been declared unsafe. The fire department and the Township are working to get a demolition permit and to contact the property owner, with the hope that the owner will knock the building down soon. Before the weekend incidents, firefighters and Township bylaw officials had been to a house a few times when it was last occupied, as there was some backyard burning without permits, and after it became vacant there were some concerns about garbage being dumped there.

Immigration
Local dad finds sanctuary in church A Salvadoran refugee has been ordered deported for belonging to a political party 16 years ago.
by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
A Langley church is the new temporary home for Jose Figueroa, as he tries to avoid being deported to El Salvador after 15 years in Canada.
Figueroa is claiming sanctuary at Walnut Grove Lutheran Church, which he and his wife and children have attended since they first arrived in Canada. He first came to Canada after the civil war in El Salvador, but his membership in the FLMN is what is keeping his refugee claim from being recognized. “I am not a terrorist,” Figueroa told the Langley Advance. “I never considered the FLMN a terrorist organization.” The FMLN was born as a coalition of leftwing groups opposed to the military junta
that controlled El Salvador until 1992. After the end of the Salvadoran Civil War, the FMLN disarmed and became one of the two main political parties in the country. Figueroa has been fighting his expulsion from Canada since 2010, appealing rulings and writing to the Minister for Public Safety asking for an exemption. However, last week he heard that a removal order had been issued. He was asked to come to visit with CBSA officials to fill out paperwork and leave Canada.

Apples focus of park party Apple enthusiasts came out in droves to celebrate the tasty fruit on Saturday. A celebration of all things apple took place Saturday at Derby Reach Regional Park. A big draw of the annual Heritage Apple Day has always been apple tasting, and the 2013 event was no exception.
Saturday’s festival also featured children’s games, live music, pioneer chores, crafts, and apple pruning demonstrations from arbouror online ists Bill Wilde and Richard Hallman. Derby Reach and apples are linked in history. Some of the early pioneer homesteads in the area had apple orchards, and a handful of the trees have survived into the modern area. View video with

Seniors’ centre celebrates 20 years of caring by Heather Colpitts
hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
The Langley Seniors’ Resource Centre has some 1,150 members. Phil Ryan holds membership #4. He and about 19 other seniors who joined when the centre first opened were honoured guests at the 20th anniversary celebration on Friday. “Within the first year, over 800 seniors became members,” said Barb Stack, the centre’s executive director who has worked there since it opened. The seniors centre on 51B Avenue was packed throughout the day Oct. 4 as people enjoyed reminscing about the centre, which was created when the Stepping Stone Society and the seniors’ centre society split and both sought their own space. For Ryan, membership has come full circle. He became a member when he volunteered with the adult day centre which
offers help to caregivers. Now he’s a client and can’t say enough good things about the centre and its programs. “I take advantage of an awful lot of their programs,” he said. “It makes it a better quality of life. I’ve encouraged an awful lot of people to get involved in the centre. Just

Cathy Gibbs, representing Langley MLA Mary Polak, said she was there when the centre opened 20 years ago. Also a senior, she joked
about everyone can find something to do here.” On the other end of the spectrum is Oliver Juhasz. He’s been a member for only a few years, joining the Mellow Yellow table tennis squad, but has come to value what he gets out of membership. “Just nice people,” he said, “and good exercise.”

that she’s afraid to retire. “I’m far too lazy to do as much as most of you do each day,” she told the crowd of seniors. Stack said the centre serves about 3,000 seniors and their famlies each year. Members and users are from both the Township and the City. The centre was devasted by arson in early 2008 when the building was forced to close. Programs such as the adult bathing program were moved to other facilties. It took months to rebuild. Operated by a non-profit society, the centre has some staff and a large contingent of volunteers. It offers recreation programs, trips and bus tours,
a transportation program with volunteer drivers, special events, housing counselling, caregiver support, and much more. The centre operates a cafeteria which is open to the public and a catering service which helps raise funds to keep the facility and programs going. The centre’s annual fundraising rummage sale is Nov. 2 and donations of clean, working, sellable items.

New trial on two murder counts
There will be a new trial for Davey Butorac in two murder cases. by Jennifer Saltman Special to the Langley Advance
An Aldergrove man convicted of the 2007 killings of two Fraser Valley sextrade workers has been granted a new trial. The B.C. Court of Appeal released its written decision in the case of Davey Mato Butorac Thursday. In July 2011 a B.C. Supreme Court jury found Butorac guilty of two counts of second-degree

murder in connection with the deaths of Gwendolyn Jo Lawton, 46, and Sheryl Lynn Koroll, 50. Lawton’s body was found on March 13, 2007, dumped over an embankment beside a rural road in Abbotsford. She had been beaten and strangled to death. Four months later, Koroll was found dead in a Langley industrial park. She had also been beaten and had died of blunt force head injuries. Butorac was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 23 years. He appealed his conviction based on the

Week
Congratulations to
trial judge’s decision to admit the evidence of each murder as similar fact evidence with respect to the other. The trial judge found Lawton and Koroll had some similar personal characteristics, their bodies were left in similar positions and both were brutally beaten. More importantly, the DNA or blood of both victims had been found in a vehicle owned and driven exclusively by Butorac. There was strong evidence the car had been involved in Koroll’s death. The trial judge recognized the evidence was not as
conclusive in Lawton’s death, but ruled the similar fact evidence should be admitted. The appeal court disagreed, stating in its decision that there was no evidence to support the judge’s finding that the presence of Lawton’s blood and DNA on Butorac’s car “defied innocent explanation.” A new trial date has not been set. Butorac is also charged with second degree murder in the 2006 death of 47-year-old Margaret Redford.

Marriage
Langley couple hits diamond wedding anniversary Experts at marriage, Frank and Florence Hunt have celebrated 75 years of wedded bliss. Not too many couples are lucky enough to reach their 50th or 60th wedding anniversaries, but one Langley pair had made it
all the way to 75 years. Frank and Florence Hunt celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary on Sept. 17. Frank is 97 and Florence 96. They’ve known each other even longer, meeting four years before their wedding, in Birmingham, England. Their first date was a 1934 showing of the original King Kong. Frank was working in a
grocery shop for his uncle at the time, and Florence’s twin sister ran in and said there was a new handsome lad and she was off to buy some tomatoes from him. “Well, my mother grabbed the money off her twin and raced over there,” said Sylvia Butler. They were married in 1938, when Florence noticed that the anniversary of their meeting was to fall on a Saturday. “In fact, it was she that proposed to him, asking, ‘Frank, do you think that we can save up enough money by then to get married?’” Butler said. Two years later war was declared, and Florence spent her nights under the wooden stairs, a new baby tucked into a laundry basket, while Frank was on duty as an air raid warden. During the day, Frank was a foreman at an engineering factory building air-
Frank and Florence cut the cake for their 75th wedding anniversary. craft for the war effort. “Night after night they heard the bombers coming over, and one huge bomb
dropped in the next street over,” Butler said. The family didn’t get much sleep after that, even in a
new brick air raid shelter for the community. Frank eventually became a buyer for General Electric, and Florence raised her children and then fulfilled a lifelong dream by becoming a nurse at age 50. They moved to Canada in 1971 to join daughters Sylvia and Valerie, who had moved to Delta with their families, and their son Richard followed the rest of the family soon after. They moved from Delta to Langley in 2006, to a rancher in Murrayville when Frank finally started having trouble with stairs. At their recent anniversary they were surrounded by four generations, including their children, eight grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. The highlight of the day was the congratulatory messages, including one from Queen Elizabeth II.

Trio gets prison time for grow op
Five years after a drug raid, three men are sentenced to prison. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Lonely seniors die sooner.
Three men have been sentenced for their parts in operating a Langley marijuana grow operation found in 2008. In October of that year,
Langley RCMP drug section officers were tipped off to a theft of electricity by BC Hydro. They got a search warrant a week later for a home in the 5200 block of 201A Street, said Cpl. Holly Marks, the spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. Officers found a number of mature plants, and 1,087 cloned seedlings on the bottom floor of the
home. Three men were charged in the case. Ryan Orian Wedman, a 43-year-old Langley man, has now been convicted of production and possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, and theft of electricity. Jason James Bailey, 33, of Delta, and Mark Perkins, 40, from Delta, were convicted of production and possession char-
ges but acquited of theft of Hydro power, said Marks. All three were found to be caretakers of the illicit enterprise, said Marks. Wedman received an 18 month sentence and has to repay $1,477 to BC Hydro, while Bailey got 15 months in jail and Perkins 18 months. Wedman and Perkins were also given lifetime firearm bans as part of their sentencing.

Cook up a plan to stay alive
The kitchen is perhaps the most important room in the average home. You cook there. You clean there. You eat there. You store food there. You hang out there. Parties often end up there as the festivities start to fade into the wee hours. You could even burn your house down there – in fact, far too many people use their kitchens to do just that (unintentionally, of course). That’s why kitchens are emphasized in the messages being disseminated by firefighters this week – National Fire Prevent Week. Locally and across Canada, the week’s theme is Prevent Kitchen Fires, and the fire-prevention campaign’s goal is to raise awareness that more fires start in the kitchen than in any other part of the home. Cooking is the main culprit in starting devastating fires that destroy homes – and lives. While millions of dollars are lost to kitchen fires every year, more than two out of three fire deaths have their roots in the kitchen. There are hundreds of ways to start a fire in the kitchen, not to mention the many ways to spill scalding water and get burn injuries without a hint of flame being involved. Worst are the fires that are started with untended pans of grease or cooking oil, which can erupt into flames that spread more quickly than most other sources of conflagration, and have a propensity to wreak more devastation, as well. So when you’re cooking with grease or oil, it’s important to be prepared for an accidental flare-up – keep a lid handy to shut down flames immediately, for instance, instead of trying to move to pot or pan from the stove (a serious no-no!). Keep your smoke detectors up to date, and don’t leave cooking pots unattended on the stove. And have a family plan for escape, in case the unthinkable happens. – B.G.

Smart meters
Old meters more and more costly
Dear Editor, The decision to charge cost-recovery fees for customers who don’t want smart meters ensures the rest of BC Hydro’s customers aren’t subsidizing the personal choices of a very small number of people. This is a fair and reasonable solution to accommodate customers who want to retain using a system that is increasingly obsolete and costly to support. The additional fees
include reading the meter, as well as the cost of adding and maintaining resources, equipment, and systems that have been automated by new, modern meters. To work around customers without new meters, BC Hydro must install additional telecommunications equipment to ensure the electricity grid can work as planned. We need extra vehicles, equipment, and people to read the meter and manually input billing data.
Transportation
Familiar bad news still ahead
Dear Editor, Normally, governments announce bad news on a Friday, to avoid scrutiny from the press, but while Premier Clark’s announcement that her government would replace the Massey Tunnel with a new, state-of-the-art bridge was received as good news, it faced little scrutiny in regards to cost and funding methods which are, as the Premier said, “unknown at this time.” This time I believe the bad news came in disguise on Monday. Patrick Jones articulated the merits of tolling roads and road pricing, but that should be taken with a great deal of skepticism, because Jones is the CEO of the International Bridge, Tunnel, and Turnpike Association. His comments should be read as a sales pitch, because Jones and the association he represents gains to benefit from tolling our roads. Tolling and road pricing in this context is the beginning of privatizing our road network. Like BC Rail, tolling and road pricing could lead to the transfer of a public asset to the private sector, a narrative all too familiar with our premier. Peter Lenko, Langley
TODAY’S FLYERS... in the
BC Hydro’s proposed fees will be reviewed by BC Utilities Commission to ensure they are appropriate and we are only recovering additional costs. When the BC Utilities Commission approved Fortis BC’s advanced metering project, it directed Fortis to charge a fee to customers who don’t want a new meter, to pay the incremental cost of opting out. Cost recovery fees in North America vary. Portland’s utility charges $51 per month plus a set-up fee of $254, while Hydro Quebec has a $17 monthly fee and an initial $98. Today, customers with new meters are seeing the benefits of a more modern system. Most customers can now see more timely information about their electricity use through their secure MyHydro online account. This new feature allows customers to track their hourly electricity use, compare use to homes of a similar size, and view their bill to date. We will continue to work with our customers, to answer questions about new meters and to ensure they have all the facts about the updated system. Greg Reimer, BC Hydro

Colin Saurette had a pretty big week – he received his Langley Township firefighter badge on Oct. 3 and got married Oct. 5. Saurette is one of eight men who have just completed their probationary year with the Township Fire Department and Thursday was a chance to celebrate. For Saurette, it’s a pretty big mile marker on the journey he’s planned for his life. “This has always been the plan from the get go,” he said. “My old man – I Heather Colpitts/Langley Advance grew up with him in the Mike Duthie will work in the inspections branch of the Township Fire fire service.

By the time they’ve been accepted into probation, it’s a good bet they’re going the distance as a firefighter. The Township currently has 82 full-time suppression firefighters and another 100 paid-call firefighters. There are also about seven firefighters who work in the inspection branch which also

The Terry Fox Run held Sept. 15 in Langley City welcomed owners bringing their dogs on leashes. Christine Versluis along with her daughters Jillian, five, and Rebecca, 10, brought along their canine companion Chico to take part in the fundraiser for cancer research. During the Walnut Grove Terry Fox Run at the Walnut Grove Community Centre, two pooches lurched forward to get a closer look. It’s up to owners to ensure their dogs are properly behaved in public.

This expressive girl’s perfect day would include hiking, swimming and fetching with the big dogs. Tundra has a bit of separation anxiety when her humans leave her, but she does well if she has a canine companion to keep her company. She could live with a confident cat that can hold its own.

Silas Silas is a young active dog who is all paws. This beautiful boy needs an active home where his people will have plenty of time for him. He is all about play and loves toys, fetch, digging, water and mud puddles, however, baths...not so much. Silas enjoys other dogs and could most likely live with a cat. Although Silas likes children he is not ready to go to a home with small children as he is extremely physical and tries to climb up people in a panic when they first enter his space or try to leave him. His new home will need to carry on the training he will receive here at LAPS.

Fleece was the focus of the annual show and sale on a Langley farm. Approximately 100 fibre enthusiasts and sheep producers attended Belmont Farm in Langley on Sept. 14 to take part in the annual Lower Mainland Sheep Producers Association (LMSPA) Fleece Show & Sale. “Attendees as far away as Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast joined us in a day of education and in support of local growers,” said fleece committee chair Marianne Iberg. The fleeces were judged by Sherry Stewart of Maple Ridge, with the assistance of Scribe Lynne Anderson of White Rock. The public event featured several well-known local vendors and artisans. Langley residents Terry and Sherry Thorne shared their expertise with those in attendance. Their comments permitted purchasers to more knowledgably understand sheep breed history, the importance of confirmation, and variety of fleece type.

Johanna Walker, Ann Embra and Susan Russell took the top prizes at the annual show and sale. In addition, attendees were treated to the appearance of Armstrong resident Judy Glibbery, a founding member of the LMSPA. Glibbery made the commute to assess the fleece being exhibited, in addition to presenting the Glibbery/Tuytel Spinners Choice Award. This year’s award went to Johanna Walker, with honourable mention going to Jacqueline Brind of Acacia Acres. The Grand Champion fleece was awarded to Ann Embra; and Reserve Champion fleece went to Susan Russell. All judges comment-
ed on the substantial improvement in the quality of the fleece. LMSPA welcomes the attendance of anyone interested in learning more about the goals of the association, sheep and/or fleece production, to its meetings held the first Thursday of the month at St. George’s Anglican Church in Fort Langley. Consult the website www.lmspa.ca for accurate meeting schedule as well as a complete list of winners from this year’s show and sale. Family participation is encouraged and welcome in the association.

National Newspaper Week October 6-12, 2013
National Newspaper Week
If you’re reading this, newspapers matter to you Oct. 6-12 is National Newspaper Week so forgive us if we boast a bit. We are, after all, 82 years old. by Heather Colpitts
hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
The goals of this community newspaper haven’t changed since it was started in 1931. But the way the paper delivers on those goals has changed and will continue to as technology brings new ways for readers to connect with their community through the Langley Advance. Sure, the newspaper no longer accepts payment in the form of chickens or butter as it did during the Great Depression. But the Advance remains commit-
ted to being a community newspaper. Every day, staff field requests from people, organizations and businesses wanting us to devote space to events or issues from Vancouver, down east or even abroad. That’s not what we’re here for. We cover Langley, thank you. While large media are struggling to adjust to a changing media landscape, community newspapers are on solid footing. The Canadian Newspaper Association, an umbrella group representing community and other newspapers, conducts research that proves the point. Eight in 10 Canadians have read a newspaper in the past week, either in print or online. People argue that bloggers will provide coverage and social media will be the nail in the coffin of
Langley Advance files
The newspaper started a few years after the start of the Great Depression. traditional media like community newspapers. Well, bloggers only cover what they are interested in, whether it’s protecting an aquifer or showcasing their families. The Advance is a general interest
community newspaper that covers the spectrum of what goes on in the Langleys, good and bad. And social media has proven an effective tool that enhance community newspapers, not replace
them. The Langley Advance posts to its Facebook and Twitter pages, using these modern tools to help spread community information farther. As well, the community newspaper around since 1931 has taken the next step into the future, using augmented reality (AR) with its partnership with Layar. People can download the free Layar app for iPhones and Smart phones. Then they can the pages that have the Layar logo on them and see content come alive, whether it’s a video clip, shortcuts to donating to a worthy cause or quick and easy ways to connect with advertisers. A few years ago, the paper was purchased by Glacier Media, which owns a variety of small newspapers. It understands the importance of community
newspapers. Through sister papers in Glacier Media (Surrey Now, the Maple RidgePitt Meadows Times, the Abbotsford Times, among others), the Langley Advance can also provide material that affects readers here and in neighbouring communities or obtain material important to our readers. The Langley Advance also retains its long history with the Vancouver Sun and Province, providing readers with more stories that impact this community. As a final point to ponder: the world’s richest man paid $140 million for a group of U.S. daily and community newspapers. “In towns and cities where there is a strong sense of community, there is no more important institution than the local paper,” said billionaire Warren Buffet.

Rivermen work hard for fourth straight win Troy Landreville and Kyle Donen
sports@langleyadvance.com
The Langley Rivermen are rolling. Langley’s B.C. Hockey League entry won its fourth straight game with a comeback, 32 overtime victory over the Alberni Valley Bulldogs Sunday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre. The win improved the ’Men’s record to a solid 7-3-0-1, moving them into sole possession of first place in the BCHL Mainland Division, one point ahead of the second place Coquitlam Express (6-2-0-2) and two in front of the third place Prince George Spruce Kings (6-4-0-1). The fact the Rivermen played three games in two-and-a-half days makes the win streak all the more impressive. They opened the weekend with a 4-3 road win over the Surrey Eagles on Friday, then trounced the Eagles 5-1 Saturday at the LEC. “I thought we played pretty solidly both Friday and Saturday,” Rivermen head coach Bobby Henderson said. “Saturday was pretty convincing; Surrey’s a good team. They seemed a little flat over the weekend but I’m sure we’ll see a lot more from them the next time we play them. We’ll take the four points.” Henderson isn’t surprised by the Rivermen’s solid start. “They’ve been a confident group right from start,” Henderson said, of his players. “Our expectation from the start of year was, we have to win every game. They totally encompass that attitude. They believe they can beat any team on any given night.” In the early going of Sunday’s matinee match-up with the Bulldogs, the Rivermen’s streak looked to be in real jeopardy. Even thought they generated a bunch of scoring opportunities
through the opening 40 minutes, the hosts trailed 2-0 heading into the third period. There looked to be a few sure goals, but the Rivermen hit a couple posts and didn’t seem to have any puck luck in the first two periods. The Rivermen’s luck changed in the third. They opened the period on a powerplay, which helped generated some momentum. Langley got on the board shortly after the powerplay ended. Defenceman Tanner Johnson notched his second goal of the season with a slapshot from the point that found its way through traffic. The goal seemed to give the Rivermen some extra life as they had a little more jump in their strides.
Troy Landreville/Langley Advance
The puck bounced away from Langley Rivermen forward James Robinson during Saturday’s BCHL contest at the Langley Events Centre. The ’Men trounced the visiting Surrey Eagles 5-1 to take a 2-1 lead in the season series between the two Mainland Division rivals. Towering Langley Rivermen forward Jakob Reichert delivered a crunching bodycheck on Surrey Eagle Joseph Drapluk.
That extra jump forced Alberni Valley into taking some penalties, giving the Rivermen a chance to tie the game. The powerplay was unsuccessful but again it put some added pressure on the Bulldogs as the Rivermen were able to score shortly after the man advantage. A great save at the blue line by Johnson, keeping the puck in the Bulldogs’ zone, helped set up Mitch McLain behind
the net. The Rivermen captain then found Matt Ustaski wide open out in front, and he made no mistake tying the game at 2-2. From there the stage was set for overtime and one of the hottest goal scorers on the Rivermen roster finished in style, as Austin Azurdia gave the ’Men their third overtime win of the season. “I give them [the Bulldogs] credit; they played a really solid game and capitalized on the few chances they had,” Henderson said. “We had to work to get back in it. It was nice to get the extra point.”

Kim makes grade for LPGA Tour Sue Kim becomes one of a handful of Canadians on the prestigious tour. Langley golfer Sue Kim is the latest Canadian to join the LPGA Tour. This, following the rain-delayed conclusion of the Symetra Tour Championship on Monday, Sept. 30 in Daytona Beach, Fla. Kim slumped to a final round 80 on Sept. 29, but her tie for 31st left her sixth on the Tour’s money list, enough to secure her LPGA privileges for 2014. Kim won once this year and added three more top-10 results,
and went into the finale ranked fourth. The tournament was forced into a Monday finish after rain washed out third round play on Saturday, Sept. 28.
Several players were unable to complete their final round on Sunday due to darkness, meaning a delay in official confirmation of the top 10 LPGA graduates. Barring any further additions through Q-school, there will be at least five Canadians playing fulltime on the LPGA Tour next year. Kim had a decorated amateur career. In 2007, she triumphed at the CN Canadian Women’s Tour, becoming the first amateur champion. She was named the Player of the Year at the Canada Score Awards in 2007, ’08, and ’09. In 2009, Kim was also the Player of the Year for the BC Sports Awards.

Rivermen looking to keep hot streak going …continued from page A25
The final tally of the night was a beautiful powerplay marker off the stick of defenceman Chris Forney, who from the point one-timed a smooth cross ice pass from rookie Darien Craighead. The line of Azurdia, Cook and Robinson dominated, combining for seven points. The game had a bit of nastiness in the third period, when McLain tangled with Surrey’s Colton Mackie behind the Eagles’ net. McLain’s helmet fell to the ice and Mackie proceeded to head butt him as they bearhugged each other. Mackie was charged with a double minor for head butting. Henderson believed Mackie’s actions warranted a major penalty. “It’s up to the league’s discretion,” he said. “I thought it was deserving of a major penalty. The referee, from his perspective, didn’t feel it was an intent to injure.” Rivermen 4, Surrey Eagles 3 The Rivermen started the weekend by edging the Eagles Friday at South Surrey Arena. The visitors scored three unanswered goals in the second period to take a 4-1 lead into the final frame.

Surrey’s Nicolas Pierog brought the Eagles to within a goal when he scored on an Eagles’ man advantage 3:29 into the third period. Both teams fired 25 shots on goal. Rivermen goaltender Steve Myland made 22 saves to earn the win.
D-man deal
Heading into the weekend, the Rivermen made a trade, swapping defencemen. The ’Men acquired 6’3” rearguard Zach Urban from the Salmon Arm Silverbacks in exchange for Mark Whitely. Urban earned an assist in his first game with the Rivermen Friday against the Surrey Eagles. In picking up Urban, the Rivermen believe they brought in some experience and grit to an already strong defensive core that keeps getting better. Urban has played in a 127 regular season games and 26 playoff games in the BCHL. His career started with a short stint with the Powell River Kings in 2010/11. He went on to play his first full season with the Penticton Vees during the 2011/12 season when he played in 58 regular season games, scoring four goals and adding 18 assists. The successful year didn’t end in the regular season for Urban as he and the Vees went on to win the 2012 RBC Cup. Urban continued his career with the Victoria Grizzlies the following year. In 2012/13, he collected three goals and 23 assists in 54 games. He also helped lead the Grizzlies into the playoffs but Urban was unable to get back to the RBC Cup for a second straight year. “Obviously he has the playoff experience,” Henderson said. “We felt it was invaluable to add that to our culture and it addresses some of our needs on the back end.” This trade came with a price as the Rivermen gave up Whiteley, who had been with the team since 2011. “It was tough to let him go,” Henderson said. “He was one of the most popular players among his teammates. At the end of the day, it was a hockey decision.”
Up next…
The Rivermen play twice this weekend. On Friday, they travel to Coquitlam’s Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre to play the Express. Each team has beaten the other once this season, with the Express skating to a 6-2 win on Sept. 20 at the LEC and the Rivermen rallying with a 5-4 overtime victory Sept. 21 in Coquitlam. The next night, Saturday, Oct. 12, the ’Men once again host the Eagles at the LEC. Game time is 7:15 p.m. The Rivermen have a 2-1 edge in the season series with the Birds.

PLANNING FOR GROWTH IN CANADIAN TRADE
The Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project is a proposed new three-berth marine terminal at Roberts Bank in Delta, B.C. that would provide 2.4 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent unit containers) of additional container capacity. Subject to environmental approvals, the project could be fully operational by the early 2020s. Discussion Guide and Online Feedback Form available at:
www.portmetrovancouver.com/RBT2
Proposed Roberts Bank Terminal 2
Existing Roberts Bank Terminals
The proposed Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project consists of two primary components: • A new marine terminal would be located northwest of the existing Roberts Bank terminal facilities, approximately 5.5 kilometres offshore from the mainland. The terminal would be located as far offshore as practical to reduce the impact on sensitive marine habitat and limit the amount of dredging required, while still meeting seismic performance criteria. The terminal is designed to accommodate simultaneous mooring of three modern container vessels. It is anticipated that the terminal would make considerable use of electric equipment and vehicles, as well as providing berthed ships with shore power, therefore allowing them to turn off their on-board generators, reducing air emissions and noise.
• Road and rail improvements on the Roberts Bank Causeway, including additional lead tracks, a switching yard, an overpass structure and access roads, would provide access to the new terminal. To reduce potential impacts on sensitive marine habitat on the northwest side, the causeway would be widened to different widths along its length.
ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED ROBERTS BANK TERMINAL 2 PROJECT. Construction period of approximately six years If constructed, the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project would drive economic growth and increase employment, benefiting the region, the province and the country. The economic benefits to Canada from the proposed project would include direct, indirect, and induced employment growth, and gains in economic output, gross domestic product (GDP) and government revenues during construction and operations. 1
The project is part of Port Metro Vancouver’s Container Capacity Improvement Program, a long-term strategy to deliver projects to meet anticipated growth in demand for container capacity to 2030.

lvk un TRADE IMPORTANT?
Canada’s Asia-Pacific Gateway is a network of airports, seaports, railways, roads and border crossings connecting Canada with major trading partners. The Gateway provides a means for Canadian farmers, mill workers, fishers, manufacturers and miners to export their goods to other markets, and a means for Canadians to access global goods on local store shelves. Trade is one of the primary drivers of economic growth in the nation. The economic benefits of trade are created not just in the Asia-Pacific Gateway itself, but also across the region, the province and the country. One of the primary benefits of international trade is in the jobs that it creates for Canadians. The location and nature of these jobs varies greatly, from logistics to manufacturing to agricultural, and all rely on the movement of goods in and out of the Asia-Pacific Gateway. Other benefits to Canadians include increased revenue to government, community amenities, and higher purchasing power for consumers and businesses.

PLANNING FOR GROWTH IN CANADIAN TRADE WHY ROBERTS BANK?
A NEW BRIDGE TO REPLACE THE
Roberts Bank port facilities are well positioned to accommodate future growth in trade activity. The area has several competitive advantages, including its proximity to major transportation corridors for both truck and rail movements, direct access to numerous off-dock facilities and one of the most efficient ship-to-rail designs of any port in North America.
george massey tunnel
On September 20, 2013, the Government of British Columbia announced that they will move ahead to replace the George Massey Tunnel, with construction of a new bridge on the existing Highway 99 corridor to begin in 2017.
Trade through Roberts Bank will also benefit from two initiatives that are currently underway to improve transportation for communities, commuters and commercial traffic. •
s?IKh f<D:=< P=<JC=K=< r?D> (sfPr): a new 40-kilometre-long four-lane route along the south side of the Fraser River from Deltaport Way to 176th Street in Surrey. When complete at the end of 2013, SFPR will offer an efficient trade corridor and will divert trucks and other traffic off municipal roads in Delta and Surrey.
•
r?b=<K: BDAG rDJE c?<<J>?< P<?;<DC: includes one road network improvement project and eight overpasses in Delta, Surrey, the City of Langley and the Township of Langley. Once complete in 2014, these projects will separate road and rail traffic, improving safety, easing community connections and minimizing train whistling.
The George Massey Tunnel represents a primary north/south corridor linking the United States and Metro Vancouver, and the renewal of the crossing will support benefits to communities in the Lower Mainland by easing traffic congestion. Additional information about the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project can be found at:
These projects will help relieve current road and rail congestion on local roads and will accommodate traffic generated by capacity increases at Roberts Bank, including the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project.
