Redevelopment

History renewed Willoughby Hall is newly restored and open to the public.

What was an old hall in Willoughby is new again. The community was invited to the grand re-opening celebration of the newly renovated Willoughby Community Hall on Saturday afternoon. The hall, at the 8300 block of 208th Street, has served the community for 89 years and was restored with a new foundation. In July 2013, a crew of contractors used a large winch to haul the heritage building to its new location, just a little to the left of where it has sat since 1937. Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

Willoughby Community Hall secretary Alice Johnson stood in front of the hall at 83rd Avenue and 208th Street. A grand re-opening of the hall was held Saturday, May 24. (Below) The inside of the newly renovated Willoughby Community Hall was available for viewing by the community at the celeration.

BCSPCA wants cruelty charges for walker

Charges are likely against a woman who dumped six dead dogs in a ditch and claimed they had been stolen. by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The BC SPCA will recommend criminal charges against a Delta dog walker after six dogs died in

the back of her truck on May 13 due to heat. The SPCA has been investigating since it was revealed last week that the dog walker had not, as she had first claimed to the police, had the dogs stolen from her vehicle in a Brookswood dog park. In fact, it is believed that the dogs died while the truck was in Richmond at some point on that day. The woman discovered the

dogs, which included her own pet, were dead and panicked. She apparently took them to Abbotsford, where their bodies were found in a ditch last week. She then called the RCMP and reported the alleged theft of the dogs. A private missing pets investigator revealed last week that the dog walker had admitted to the hoax. The Langley RCMP has said it is looking into a possible public

mischief charge for claiming the theft. The SPCA says it will move forward and recommend charges of causing unnecessary suffering, and causing damage or injury to an animal under the Criminal Code. Separate charges will be recommended for each of the six dogs, said Marcie Moriarty, the BC SPCA’s chief prevention and enforcement officer.

Cloverdale Exhibition Fairgrounds will be home to the Lower Mainland’s newest night market this summer. Organizers of the new Surrey Night Market plan to create a family-oriented, multicultural venue with foods from around the world, starting July 4. They are modelling the event on night markets held in Richmond, Chinatown, and North Vancouver. “It’s multicultural, it’s multinational. Everybody will be there. We hope to have food and vendors from across the board, not from any one community,” said Satbir Cheema, one of the market’s organizers. • More online

CPR stoppage not illegal: investigation A dispute about CPR led to an investigation of a Langley RCMP officer. by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A Langley RCMP officer will not be charged with impeding an attempt to save a life, after stopping a civilian from performing CPR on a man. The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) said the officer believed the man was responding to CPR during the Sept. 22,

2013, incident in Langley City. The incident took place just after 3 p.m., when an Abbotsford man suffered a medical emergency while driving off the 203rd Street Overpass. He turned east on 62nd Avene, then veered through the westbound lanes and crashed into a building. Civilians ran to help the man and called 911. On instruction of the emergency operator, they pulled the man from the vehicle. At about 3:15 p.m., a civilian witness began administering CPR, according to the IIO report on the incident.

The man was a Level Two first aid attendant and was operating on the directions of the emergency operator to continue until help arrived. Shortly after CPR began, an RCMP officer arrived and checked the victim’s neck for a pulse. He also checked the driver’s breathing by placing a hand over the victim’s face. The driver appeared to be breathing, and the Mountie told the civilian to stop performing CPR. The civilian and RCMP officer disagreed, and after an argument, the civilian stopped.

For between 20 and 90 seconds, the man was without CPR support, until firefighters pulling up to the scene took over medical care. They found the man had no pulse and again began CPR. The victim was airlifted to hospital, and despite the work by the civilian, firefighters, paramedics, and doctors at the hospital, he was pronounced dead in hospital at 4:41 p.m., according to the IIO report. A civilian complained to the RCMP about the incident, and the investigation was handed over to the IIO. continued on page A5…

Medical response costs City

Langley City’s costs for first aid performed by firefighters could use some provincial help, councillors say. by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley City firefighters respond to a lot of medical calls every year, and the City would like a little support from the provincial government for their costs. At the recent Lower Mainland Local Government Association (LMLGA) meeting, the City proposed and saw passed a resolution calling for increased support from Victoria. The City wants a cost recovery system for when firefighters respond to medical calls as first responders. Normally, those calls are responded to by B.C. Ambulance paramedics, but many municipal governments choose to have firefighters respond to some or all emergency medical requests.

The owners of the dogs had, in most cases, spent hours looking for their pets, scouring nearby areas and putting up posters around the neighbourhood and across the Lower Mainland. It was widely assumed that the dogs must have been taken rather than simply being released from the truck, as none of them had been seen anywhere nearby, nor had local animal control officers heard reports of a significant number of dogs running loose.

The disappearance of the dogs, and the later discovery that the reported theft had been a hoax, drew a great deal of attention from dog owners. On May 15, a rally was held at the Brookswood

Two banks were robbed 15 minutes apart, in what police believe was a brief crime spree. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Two bank robberies 15 minutes apart had Surrey RCMP pursuing a pair of suspected bandits from near the Langley border all the way to New Westminster. On May 22 at about 8:30 a.m., a car was stolen from the 10000 block of 144th Street in Surrey, said Cpl. Bert Paquet, a spokesperson for the Surrey RCMP. That turned out to be the first crime in a spree that would next hit Clayton Heights. At about 11:30 a.m., a bank robbery was reported in the 18600 block of Fraser Highway, where a lone man held up a bank branch then ran out. He was seen meeting up with a second man nearby, said Paquet. Just 15 minutes later, at 11:45, police were alerted to another robbery in the 16000 block of Fraser Highway.

At that scene, witnesses said the suspect was linked to a black Honda Civic that had sped off with another man at the wheel. Video surveillance from the bank, including still images of the suspect, were collected by officers at the scene. The Honda Civic was found at 1:15 p.m. in the City Centre area of Surrey, said Carr. The Surrey RCMP’s High Risk Target Team and the Air One helicopter began surveilling the vehicle from a distance. The car drove to New Westminster, and when two men got out, the RCMP arrested both of them. Steven Schrenk, 26, and Ryan McClinton, 30, have now both been charged with two counts of robbery and possession of a stolen car. Paquet said the quick actions of several officers and timely information provided by robbery victims and witnesses helped with the capture of the suspects. Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP’s Robbery Unit at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) if they wish to remain anonymous.

Police dogs helped track down two suspects following a break in during the early morning hours of May 20 in Langley. Just before 5 a.m., a 911 call alerted the Langley RCMP to a break and enter at the Glover Pharmacy in the 5700 block of Glover Road. The caller said two men had broke in through the front door, then drove off in a pickup truck, said Const. Craig van Herk, a spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The caller tipped off police as to the direction of the fleeing pickup.

Officers picked up the trail within minutes, spotting the suspect truck heading down Glover Road, said van Herk. The truck stopped and one man jumped out and started running, then the vehicle sped off. Police found the vehicle a few minutes later, abandoned and with the motor still running. Police Dog Services officers, human and canine, were called in and they began to track both suspects simultaneously. The first man was tracked, located and arrested in about 20 minutes. The second man was caught in just over an hour. Two men have been charged with break and enter and possession of property obtained by crime. Osbaldo Gonzalez has also been charged with fleeing police, while Nathan Hamm has also been charged with willfully resisting or obstructing a police officer. Both men remained in custody as of Monday.

Opinion

Ryan McAdams PUBLISHER rmcadams@langleyadvance.com

Right, wrong, and in between

This much is true: the B.C. Teachers Federation and the BC Public School Employers’ Association still need to compromise. Much of the rhetoric on the side of the government, however, doesn’t add up. It is true – partially – that cutting class sizes back to the 2002 levels, before the Liberals tore up the teachers right to bargain on class sizes, would not be a magic bullet. Not every student will learn better, not every student will be left behind if there are two or three extra kids in the class. But the government has gone far, far beyond this argument. They are now openly arguing, it seems, that cutting class sizes would actually be bad for kids.

“Their proposal would have worse outcomes than the present [system],” said BCPSEA chief negotiator Peter Cameron last week. “The class size issue is an oxymoron as far as I’m concerned, because all the research in the world says size does not determine outcomes,” said Education Minister Peter Fassbender. At issue are outcomes – grades are better, and graduation rates are better, than they were 12 years ago. The Liberals would like the public to believe that this is because, apparently, of larger class sizes. Of course, correlation does not equal causation, something you’d think the Liberals would have learned, as many of them are highly educated. For instance, after years of talking up the amount they spend on education, the Liberals are suddenly silent on all the things they actually have done to help out kids. StrongStart and all-day kindergarten programs came in under their watch, and they have poured money into everything from increasing settlement workers for newly arrived students to the annual Raise-A-Reader program. It seems to us that if you actually create initiatives to help kids do better in school, you can’t then turn around and claim that refusing to reduce class sizes is the cause of all the improved outcomes. Maybe all those other projects, plus lower class sizes would actually help out if they tried it?

Frogs lost in sounds of silence I went to the lowland at the foot of the hill behind the house. There was a slightly soggy bit of meadow there. In the spring, it was tiny islands of tufted grass surrounded by miniature rivers and Bob Groeneveld lakes and puddles and pools. editor@langleyadvance.com It teemed with frogs. And mosquitoes. We were kids, and too far north for malaria, I can’t hear the frogs. so the mosquitoes didn’t bother us much.

Letters to the

Climate change

Only thing rising is fear

Dear Editor, Seldom do we get 100 per cent fear-mongering false propaganda in one article [No more time for denying, May 15 Our View, Langley Advance]. Oil and gas is to blame, changes in seasons and weather patterns, heavy rains, melting snow,

droughts, etc. blah blah. Repeating the rhetoric over and over again doesn’t make it true, but a lot of worried souls buy it. Global warming never happened like hundreds of their climate models predicted. Not one of their models predicted a lower temper-

Education

Children losers in dispute

Dear Editor, The parents of B.C. have now just been informed that our public school teachers will be going on rotating strikes during the week of May 26-29. That means each school district will be on strike for an entire day, and consequently, many parents will be scrambling to find child care services to cover for this day of absence. Fortunately, I work from home and don’t have this extra worry while my son’s school in Langley is on strike. This ongoing battle between our government and teachers’ federation has one group of losers – our students. They have become mere chess pawns in this vicious game where neither side wishes to concede that perhaps “we both have to give a little” in order to reach a resolution. Premier Christy Clark and BCTF president Jim Iker have to come to their senses, and for the sake of our children, sit down and resolve this mess immediately. Cara de St. Remy, Langley

Langley City

McBurney upgrade a waste

Dear Editor, The so-called upgrade to the patio area to the east outside McBurney’s in Langley City destroyed the community feel that it used to have. No one sits there anymore, or very few. It looks cold, uncomfortable, and uninviting. Why was all the money spent on that colourful tile? Plain concrete would have been good enough. What are the shallow steps for? Your knees would be up in your face if you sat there. Who designed this? It is poorly planned and of no benefit at all. We were better off with what was there. Some contractor with connections to decision makers, I would think, has benefited. Too sad it was done at all. Judy Loewen, Aldergrove

Editor

ature, because you can’t fundraise unless you present crisis scenarios. There has been a reversal in temperature, with no warming and some cooling for the past eight years. The oceans are not rising. In the 1970s it was the same alarmists, but their big fundraising scare was a new ice-age global cooling that only happened for a few years and fizzled out. Extreme weather events are used to sell climate change. In Langley Township, we use design storm frequencies data for rainfall intensities and watershed runoff, like one in five years, one in 10 years, and one in 100 years design criteria. They are probability assumptions for varied storm events. Regarding flooding, if you project this to hundreds of different weather regions, thousands of creeks, streams and rivers (north and south hemispheres) around the world, the odds are you will have one-in-100 weather events in several places every hour, every day somewhere in the world. Once you understand the probabilities, you can destress from climate alarmists pushing your buttons. The warmists have a desperate fundraising campaign on, as they are losing public believability and funding. Everything is normal. Don’t worry, be happy!

Hunting

Barbaric mindset fosters urge to kill

Dear Editor, I enjoy reading peoples’ opinions in the Langley Advance. The strident defence of hunting animals and criticism of this practice has raised sufficient feelings of nausea for me to comment upon the subject. A question I wish to ask the brave hunters is this: if the game could shoot back with high-velocity shells, would these brave killers be in the woods? Do these hunters consider the fact that animals, like us, have feelings of fear, pain, sorrow, and loss? The answer is no.

I have no criticism of hunting, if one’s life is dependent upon it for sustenance, but going out for the sake of killing or for trophies is despicable. I once thought nothing of shooting upland game, and was a darned good shot. But I eventually came to the conclusion that killing fellow animal life is barbaric. I suppose as long as the urge to kill is within our ranks, it will foster wars and unconcern for other living creatures.

B.C. Seniors Week

Langley seniors invited to a fun health fair An event focusing on healthy living and safety is Friday at McLeod Athletic Park.

What better way to learn what is available in the community for seniors than at a fun, informative event being held during Seniors Week?

The second annual event is taking place at the McLeod Athletic Park Lacrosse Box. nesses in our community,” said event organizer Tasha Mijinke, community

recreation programmer for the Township. “Thanks to many organizations,

Organizations taking part in this year’s picnic represent a diverse range of services for seniors, from safety to healthy living. Guests can participate in a live fitness class demonstration and enjoy fun entertainment. “We are fortunate to have so many great vendors coming to our event,” said Tina Papatolis, Township community recreation programmer. “This is an excellent opportunity for seniors to gather a lot of helpful information all in one place.” The cost for the Seniors Picnic & Health Fair is $5 per person and pre-registration is required.

Bill Suderman changed oil of a car belonging to a single parent, during Super Single Parents Day May 10 at North Langley Community Church. The event also had generous donations of all the oil and oil filters from Great Canadian Oil Change, coffee from The Watershed Café, and help with haircuts from Great Clips in Walnut Grove, plus many other personal donations from businesses. Feedback from parents: • “Yesterday my daughter and I attended our third annual single parents day. We look forward to it all year. This morning I woke to just my little girl. No celebration or special events or presents. However, I was not sad. I felt so very pampered and spoiled by everything I was blessed with yesterday. You will never know how much

Your Community League WHO

Super Single Parents Day lived up to its name on May 10. A total of 132 single moms and three single dads, along with 175 children and teens were pampered by more than 400 volunteers at North Langley Community Church (NLCC). “We had the most fabulous Super Single Parents Day so far,” said NLCC Pastor Janet Thiessen. The volunteers worked all day in many areas: a day spa, kid’s free clothing boutique, haircuts, family portraits, preparing and serving food (for more than 700 people), cleaning and changing oil, playing with kids, running workshops, serving coffees, helping with crafts, and organizing and keeping the event running smoothly. More than 80 cars were serviced. The rain held off and the sun appeared in the afternoon. “We all went home tired, but thrilled to make Mother’s Day special for so many moms,” Thiessen said.

UNDERSTANDING LEARNING STYLES Your learning style is the way you acquire information. Students learn faster and retain more when information is presented to them in their learning styles of choice. Most people have a dominant learning style, but they can still learn when information is presented in another learning style. Teachers should present information in ways that appeal to all learning styles, but they may not always have the time to do so. When you know what your student’s learning style is, you can tailor information so that they can understand and process it better. The Seven Learning Styles Verbal (linguistic): Verbal students prefer using words to communicate, both in speech and writing. They like to read and take notes. Physical (kinesthetic): These students prefer using their body, hands and sense of touch. They enjoy learning that is action-based like science experiments, making projects and working with their hands. Visual (spatial): Spatially-oriented students prefer using pictures, images, and spatial understanding. They work well when information is presented in graphs, pie charts, info graphics, pictures or video. Aural (auditory-musical): These students prefer using sound and music. They like listening to lectures or talks. Solitary (intrapersonal): These are independent learners who prefer to work alone and use self-study. Logical (mathematical): These students prefer using logic, reasoning and systems. They are great with math and science. Social (interpersonal): Social students prefer to learn in groups or with

other people. They love organizing study groups and collaborative projects. Consult your Teachers and Tutors Ask your teacher or tutor to help to determine your student’s dominant learning styles. Most students use a combination of styles to assimilate information. While they will have a dominant style, it’s important to remember that styles are dynamic. That means that with practice, your student can adjust to any style of learning. Once you know what your student’s preferred learning style is, you can teach them to arrange material to suit their style. For example, if your student prefers a visual learning style, organize information that they need to understand into graphs, infographics, mind maps and pictures. Let them watch videos on the subject and allow them to create videos and visually-oriented presentations for their projects. Presenting information in their learning style will help them to understand and remember. Your tutor can help to teach your students how to arrange information into a more favorable format and how to tailor study skills to suit different subjects. Ask your tutor to give a brief test to determine learning style preferences. Here are some resources for finding out your learning style online. Most of these resources are short tests which help you to see which learning style suits your student best. Do two or three to get a better idea of the learning styles that your student prefers:

Senior boys rugby

Gators downed in Valley semifinal The Walnut Grove Gators’ senior boys rugby season came to an end Thursday. The Gators fell 50-20 to the Fleetwood Park Dragons in the Fraser Valley Tier 2 semifinal. The Gators scored the first two tries, by Dean Qawasmi and Jared Hasselbach. After that, the Dragons roared back, gained momentum, and kept scoring. Walnut Grove managed to score two more tries near the end of the game by Kenzie Oram and Shane Steele.

Redhawks win B.C. opener

The Fraser Valley senior boys champion D.W. Poppy Redhawks have opened the B.C. ‘AA’ championship tournament with a crucial win. The Redhawks doubled L.V. Rogers (from Nelson) 2412 this past Saturday at Parkinson Recreation Park in Kelowna. With the win, the D.W. Poppy senior boys advance to the provincial quarter-final, where they will face St. Michaels University tomorrow (Wednesday, May 28) at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford. Opening kickoff is 10:30 a.m. Also at the B.C. ‘AA’ tournament on Saturday, the R.E. Mountain Eagles lost their opener, 42-24 to Collingwood (West Vancouver) at St. George’s School in Vancouver. The Eagles play G.W. Graham (Chilliwack) Wednesday at Rotary Stadium, with a 9 a.m. start time.

Burrards blowout drops stumbling Thunder to o-3 Langley’s senior A boxla squad took it on the chin, Sunday in Maple Ridge. by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Yes, the Langley Thunder are only three games into their Western Lacrosse Association campaign, but is it time to panic? Judging from the Thunder’s 15-3 drubbing on Sunday at the hands of the host Burrards at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge, which dropped Langley’s record to 0-3, the short answer is, well, maybe. The Thunder opened the scoring on a goal from Tyler Melynk, but from the 1:55 point of the first period, when the Burrards’ Ryan McMichael tied the score at

The second frame belonged to the Thunder, who scored four unanswered goals off the sticks of Tom Johnson, Brett Baron, and pair from Athan Iannucci. The four-goal explosion was sandwiched between goals from New West’s Lewthwaite and Matt MacKenzie. The Salmonbellies carried a 2-1 lead into the middle period. Thunder goal-scorers were Iannucci and Baron with two apiece, and Turner, Johnson, and captain Matt Leveque. MacDonald took the loss in net, stopping 39 of 49 shots. The Thunder hope to reverse their fortunes tomorrow (May 28) when they host the Burrards at the Langley Events Centre. The Thunder’s home opener starts at 7:45 p.m. Tickets are available at the LEC box office.

New West Salmonbellies 10, Thunder 7 The Thunder looked in control of Thursday’s game at Queen’s Park Arena in New West, before their collective switch abruptly shut off just past the six minute mark of the third period. Langley took a 7-4 lead on a Turner goal 3:24 into the third period. Roughly three minutes after Turner found the net, proceedings went sideways on the Thunder, who allowed the final six goals of the night. Goals by Martin Cummings at the 6:15 mark, Richard Lachlan (on a Salmonbellies’ power play at 6:47), Eric Lewthwaite (at 7:35), Martin Cummings (at 8:22) and a pair by Jordan McBride at 9:02 and 17:50 of the final stanza sealed the win for the ’Bellies.

Dragon boat racing

Fort team fastest in False Creek

Fast & Furious proved furiously fast enough this past weekend to take the overall championship at this year’s False Creek Women’s Regatta. Fort Langley Canoe Club’s top competition dragon boat teams, Fast & Furious and Titanium, competed in the annual regatta with the best 44 women-only teams from the Pacific Northwest. Qualifying for the Final A Championship race placed Fast & Furious in a tough field, but coming out of the gates with a strong start and an exciting 100-metre final push, they finished first overall. The Regatta is the first 500-metre race of the season. Winners enjoy “bragging rights,” rather than medals and ribbons. Dragon boat competition is stiff, and among the fastest-growing water sports in the world. Fast & Furious coach Ben Lee

put the team’s training to the test. “The teams have been training hard all winter and are gearing up for Italy [in September],” said Lee, coach since 2010. “This major race of the year for both teams showed where they stand, and what needs to be worked on. It’s obvious that all teams have stepped up their games, and we will continue to improve.” Fast & Furious captain Sandy Ferguson said, “Today’s victory was a total team effort. We came into the championship race in fourth place and rose to the challenge. It doesn’t get much better than that.” Sister team Titanium (59-plus) made a good showing for a second-year team, with a strong eighth place finish. Lee is preparing Fast & Furious and Titanium for the Club Crew World Championships in Ravenna, Italy.
