Animal welfare

Sealed in box, tossed by dumpster Someone abandoned 10 kittens to die in a box near the trash in Langley City.

(Left) Everest, a kitten approximately four weeks old, was found unconscious with her litter mates in a sealed box near a dumpster. Everest did not survive, despite the efforts of LAPS staff and volunteers. (Right and below) The kittens in the box appear to come from two different litters.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A couple litters of kittens largely avoided a gruesome fate Thursday when a Good Samaritan found them sealed into a cardboard box near a dumpster in Langley City. The man noticed noise coming from a taped-up box behind a church near 56th Avenue and 200th Street. The finder opened the box and three kittens jumped out, and he couldn’t find them again, said Sean Baker, who heads up the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS). The seven kittens remaining were turned over to LAPS, while animal control searched the nearby area for the missing trio. “No luck so far,” said Baker. The seven found included an unconscious female. Staff at the

Patti Dale Animal Shelter gave her fluids, and she seemed to recover somewhat last week, but died over the weekend. On a warm day in a sealed box, none of the kittens could have survived much longer, had they not been rescued. “If this person had not come upon them when he did, it is very reasonable to expect that they would all have perished,” Baker told the Langley Advance. The kittens appear to come from two different litters, and are different ages, Baker said. The group of four-week-old kittens includes Everest, the kitten who died, Rio, Victoria, and Aurora. The six-week-olds are

Cano, Canyon, and Reef. The ages are a guess by staff based on the sizes of the kittens. The animals spent their first night at the home of a shelter worker, and are to be sent out with a volunteer while they recover.

Baker said that this is kitten season. Litters are often dropped off with LAPS staff or left in boxes at the shelter door. “Leaving them by a dumpster, out of the way and out of sight, is clearly not a responsible, or humane, way to address this challenge,” said Baker. “We don’t have unlimited resources, but we will do everything possible to help when kittens are involved. Leaving them by the dumpster was not necessary.” The person who dumped the kittens may not be found, Baker said. There was no security camera in the area, and it’s somewhat isolated.

Murder suspect found in Langley garage HIT arrested a man who taunted police via the media while he was on the run. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The suspect in the murder of a Surrey man was arrested on July 4 in the garage of an Aldergrove home. “IHIT and Surrey RCMP have been working around the clock on this investigation for the past few weeks and with the assistance of Langley RCMP, EDiv Support Services, Air One, LMD ERT and LMD IPDS, Barry McQuarrie was arrested yesterday evening and is currently in custody,” said Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound, with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.

for a non-fatal shooting. An Emergency Response Team was deployed that summer to surround a house after a tip that McQuarrie was inside. At the time, police described McQuarrie as a drug addict who was spiralling out of control, and said he was armed and dangerous. Before the 2005 shooting, he was already wanted for a number of crimes. After police caught McQuarrie in 2005, he was charged with aggravated assault, discharging a firearm with intent to wound, use of a firearm and possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose. He was found guilty and the victim recovered. For the Quesnelle murder, IHIT is recommending a charge of first degree murder, but McQuarrie has not been formally charged, said Pound.

A Langley man is one of two suspects arrested and charged for a violent home invasion in which the thieves pretended to be police officers. On July 1, 2013, three men broke into a home in the 9800 block of Whalley Boulevard in Surrey, announcing they were the police. The thieves threatened to shoot one of the residents, and although they never displayed a gun, one of the attackers did beat a victim with a crowbar. The thieves left with jewelry, cellphones, a laptop and other electronics, leaving behind a victim with substantial injuries, said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr. Images of the suspects were captured on security cameras, and the men were eventually identified. They are believed to be connected to numerous other crimes around the Lower Mainland. Two of the three suspects have now been arrested, said Carr. Joseph Anthony Francis, a 35-year-

old Langley man, was arrested June 13 at a Surrey SkyTrain Station. David Fitzpatrick, 30, an Abbotsford man, was arrested at his home there on the same day. Both men have been charged with two counts of robbery, two counts of assault with a weapon, and break and enter with intent. Both are now being held in custody. Carr said charges against a third suspect are pending. Anyone with more information on the case is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or www.solvecrime.ca.

Fort Langley

Township wins Coulter case Why Are Teachers Langley Township has won in court against opponents of the Coulter Still Striking? Berry project. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley Township has won a court battle over the controversial Coulter Berry building in Fort Langley’s downtown. Three judges of the B.C. Court of Appeal have ruled that the Township was within its rights to approve the building with a Heritage Alteration Permit, rather than a full rezoning. The plans for the three-storey building divided Fort Langley residents against one another. Those opposed felt the structure was too large and imposing and would damage the character of the historic downtown. Those in favour argued that it would bring jobs, below-ground parking, and new residents to the corner of Glover Road and Mavis Avenue. After a rancorous public meeting, the Township council voted in favour of the project, but didn’t rezone the site. They passed a Heritage Alteration Permit to allow construction. Opponents, including the Society of Fort Langley Residents for Sustainable Development, said that wasn’t a lawful way to change the use of the land. The society launched a court challenge, and in October last year, Justice Joel Groves of the B.C. Supreme Court agreed that the Township had overstepped its bounds. The Heritage Alteration Permit wasn’t the right tool, the judge ruled, because it could not change the density of the build-

ing, and the three-storey structure was an increase in density. A rezoning should have been done, according to the judge. While the Township appealed the ruling, developer Statewood Properties applied for a rezoning, and in the spring council passed the required bylaws for an updated version of the Coulter Berry design. Work on the project has since begun again. Although the decision of the appeal court doesn’t mean much for the state of the project, it may set a precedent on matters of municipal rights. “Development permits and development variance permits have been in place in British Columbia in local government legislation since 1985, as has the prohibition against varying use or density of use by their terms,” wrote Chief Justice Bauman in the appeal court’s decision. “Oddly, the question now before the court has never been decided.” The lower court’s ruling was a “common sense approach,” wrote the appeal court justices. Groves ruled that a taller building was an increase in density. However, the appeals court found that density (the number of houses or apartments on a plot of land) is a separate issue from the overall size of a building. The Township’s original permit didn’t change that. The Township had the right to regulate the size of the building, the appeals court ruled. “This is excellent news,” said Township Mayor Jack Froese. “Throughout this process, the Township obtained legal opinions at each step to ensure its plans were lawful. As a result, we were confident that it was lawful to issue the Heritage Alteration Permit.”

Did you kill Everest the cat?

Staff at the Langley Animal Protection Society Patti Dale Animal Shelter dubbed her Everest. Everest’s was one of many similar stories played out time and again, everywhere. Too young to be on her own, the baby kitten was one of 10 sealed into a cardboard box and dropped beside a dumpster at a Langley church. The intent is obvious – the kittens were supposed to die. It’s summer, so being sealed in a box meant suffocation and death by heat. Cruelty, plain and simple. And absolutely unnecessary. Come up with any excuse, and the local animal welfare agencies have an answer. ‘I didn’t want to put it in a shelter where it would be killed.’ Most shelters in B.C. are no-kill. ‘Animals should be able to reproduce.’ How’d that work out for you, having to round up those cuddly little mewing fluff balls and stuff ’em in a box? ‘I can’t afford to take them to a shelter.’ There is no cost or obligation to pay. The focus is on helping the animals, so these groups are constantly fundraising to cover their costs or obtaining contracts to help with costs. The Langley Animal Protection Society, for example, is contracted to provide animal protection services for both Langley City and Langley Township. Just within Langley there is also CARES cat shelter which looks after unwanted cats, Small Animal Rescue (for animals like rabbits and guinea pigs), TLC cat adoptions, which has been going for several years, and even the Urban Safari Rescue Society, a Cloverdale-based group that takes in unwanted exotic animals. And while the BC SPCA doesn’t have a Langley shelter, it is tasked with investigating animal crimes in Langley. Be honest – it’s more effort to try to kill unwanted pets or get rid of them than to contact an animal welfare organization which will often pick them up. And doing such cruel things really wrecks your karma. There are no excuses for not getting help for unwanted animals. – H.C.

Letters to the Editor

LangleyAdvance

Transportation

Overpass cost beyond money

Dear Editor, The $110.4-million cost to the taxpayers for supposed convenience of not being stopped by trains [New overpasses celebrated, June 10, Langley Advance] comes with a double edged sword. Langley already sees more than 10 trains a day; these overpasses signal additional trains will be coming. Langley train noise is significant; strong evidence connects sleep deprivation or interruption to a host of health problems, from learning difficulties to lung and cardiovascular impact. No Health Impact Assessment (HIA) has been done, nor is one planned. The most recent study of the impact of coal trains, done on Seattle replicating the types of trains and coal amounts the Fraser Surrey

Docks proposal would see, suggests serious harmful emissions will result. While there is no doubt about the importance of the coal industry to the economy of B.C., in virtually every area Letters which could have serious health and environmental impacts to our socito the ety, we take pains to do the proper assessments. This is all the more important, considering the location of approxiEditor mately 30 Langley schools within the five-kilometre range of coal dust and diesel particulates coming off the trains. Frequent long trains at rail crossings will mean delayed emergency medical service response times, increased accidents, traumatic injury, and death. Steven Faraher-Amidon, Clayton

Fort Langley

Open house perplexingly closed

Dear Editor, I recently attended an invitation-only “open house” for a new development at Mavis and McBride in Fort Langley. I live in Fort Langley, but I was not invited. None of my neighbours around Fort Langley knew anything about it, so only a handful of people were there. It appears the developer got a special list of people to contact from Township

planning staff. Why would the developer go to the trouble of hosting an “open house,” if they don’t want anyone to know about it? It doesn’t seem very “open.” Perhaps this is why: the proposed development would create 21 new townhouses on half an acre. The OCP permits seven. It will require a change to the OCP that will effectively triple the density in Fort Langley going forward.

Civic election

Froese ignored communities

Dear Editor, I was fascinated to read about Township Mayor Jack Froese running for re-election [Froese running, June 24, Langley Advance]. At what point did he work “with” the residents, as he has been quoted as saying? At every turn he voted in favour of whatever any developer wanted, and not what the residents wanted. At what point did he work together with the community? He speaks about the Brookswood/Fernridge OCP and says much more consultation with the community is required. This is blatant political speak, as even after the huge and unprecedented movement against the Griffiths neighbourhood plan and that Brookswood/Fernridge OCP, he and Councillor Grant Ward were the only ones to ignore what the community’s wishes were, and voted in support of that developer-friendly plan. Don Tocher, Brookswood

It is concerning to me: 21 units there equates to 40 units per acre, double the typical density of Willoughby, and triple the density permitted. It is more than triple the density of the brand new McBride Station, a wonderful village-like development perfectly appropriate for Fort Langley. I am hoping that Fort Langley is not going to become the next Clayton. I couldn’t get a lot of concrete answers to a great deal of my questions. I encourage you to try your luck finding any information online about it, or anyone’s name on the invitation. It seems like this development and its ability to bypass our existing zoning is being kept as quiet as possible. If you want to triple the density of someone else’s neighbourhood, you should engage the community properly and sincerely, not with invitation-only “open houses.” Council should send a clear message right away that this is not acceptable.

Lawyers send TWU a sign

Dear Editor, I trust that TWU will rightly interpret the sign from the lawyers of B.C. rejecting its bid to have a law department [TWU law school bid suffers setback, June 12, Langley Advance].

Upcoming event

Pos-Abilities explored at Douglas Park Saturday A Saturday event about disability awareness will be informative and entertaining. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The Langley Pos-Abilities Society is shining a light on this community and accessibility issues at a special event July 12. A Day of Pos-Abilities happens in Douglas Park and brings together community groups, business, entertainers, and the public. “This is our second year hosting this community awareness event,” said Mark Ardley, events co-ordinator with the society. “Last year we had 40 tents with over 500 people attending. This year we will have over 50 tents and are expecting an even bigger crowd.” The day runs 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is open to everyone. “This event is open to, accessible by, and geared towards the entire community. Everyone will be entertained and educated,” he said. “People with disabilities will get exposed to resources in their community that can assist them

with equipment, daily activities, or life fulfilment. People without disabilities will get insight into a variety of challenges, discover more about their community resources, be inspired by artists, and treated to a full day of entertainment on the Spirit Stage.” A highlight is the wheelchair obstacle course, in which people can try to maneouvre a course featuring ramps, doorways, hallways, and other structures encountered in everyday life. The South Langley Church is hosting the children’s tent offering face painting, games, treats and crafts. Activities run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will also be an artists tent where people can check out the works of local artisans. Community groups will also have displays, including a cat adoption group, service organizations, medical equipment providers, and organizations geared to providing accessible activities and experiences, he said. Langley City has refurbished the Douglas Park playground to make it wheelchair accessible and is hosting a ribbon-cutting during A Day of Pos-Abilities. The ceremony is at 11 a.m.

“This initiative embodies what our Day of Pos-Abilities is all about awareness, inclusion, assistance, accessibility, and possibilities,” Ardley noted. The six hours of entertainment includes a piper from the Central Valley Community Band, the Langley Concert Band, Opus One Women’s Choir, the Wheeling

Eight Square Dancers, the Jason Buie Band, musician Helen Wells, musician Richie Vokes, Juggy Jag, Damaged Goods, and the Patio Band. Performances run 11:25 a.m. to 5 p.m. The day wraps up with the raffle draw for the $250 in gift cards at 4:30 p.m. There are prize draws throughout the day.

Alice Kennedy has actively avoided becoming too competitive at table tennis, even though she’s been playing provincially for years against her fellow seniors. The member of the Mellow Yellow table tennis squad has several medals from various B.C. Seniors Games events held over the years, including bronze, silver, and a gold. She’ll be back this year competing in Langley. Her love of the sport goes back decades. She and her late husband George installed a ping pong table in their basement. “We could play all year,” said the retired teacher, who spent 24 years of her career at Langley’s Simonds Elementary. “Winter came, you could still play.” Playing with family and friends evolved to playing with her fellow seniors those approaching the cenwith Mellow Yellow 10 tury mark.

has been coaching basketball to people with intellectual challenges for the past 14 years, and his 25-year-old son Carson is a member of the Warriors. “Sometimes it’s a real challenge for athletes to be the coach’s son,” Buzdegan said. “He has a lot to prove but he’s earned his spot, that’s for sure.” For the Warriors, success comes not just from talent – which the team has no shortage of, in Buzdegan’s opinion – but from the fact they play as a team. “What makes a really good team goes beyond individual skills,” he said. “Athletes have to be able to communicate. I say at every single practice, you have to know your strengths and you have to know what your challenges are, and you have to know how to ask for assistance.” The Warriors’ knowledge of their strengths and the areas they need to work on has allowed them to take their game to new heights, Buzdegan said. continued on page A16…

teams has impressed the Warriors’ bench boss. “There are pretty big bragging rights and medals that come with that, and from a coaching perspective, winning is one thing, but just as important is the amount of sportsmanship and goodwill,” Buzdegan said.

Amateur boxing

Silver lines path to B.C. Gold Roughly 300 amateur boxing fans took in the B.C. Silver Gloves championships on Friday, June 27. In the B.C. amateur boxing world, there’s gold to be had at the Coast Hotel and Convention Centre’s ballroom on Friday, Aug. 1. On the road to potential B.C. Gold Gloves titles, there is the Silver Gloves show which was held June 27 at the Coast Hotel and Convention Centre in downtown Langley. The nine finals were a display of balance of senior boxers and youth, in what was a blend of entry-level and mid-level boxers, said show organizer and Langley City Boxing manager Dave Allison. Elite boxers were not involved and will be at the Golden Gloves Aug 1. Any boxer who won a Silver Gloves bout now has the opportunity to compete in the Gold. Allison reported that the “fight of the night” saw 15-year-old Danny Buckley from Kelowna’s Madkatz Boxing Club take on Pavan Jirh, 16, of Surrey’s Bisla Martial Arts. The bout was a real giveand-take with Jirh building a solid lead with an outstanding jab and good movement. Halfway into the second round the bout turned into a brawl and this style

favoured Buckley, who dropped Jirh late in the round. “Over the third it was mostly Buckley but was competitive,” Allison noted. “The decision went to Buckley as did the coveted Silver Boy Award as the outstanding boxer of the tournament.” The final bout of the night was a senior welterweight tilt featuring Langley City Boxing’s Scott Woodward taking on undefeated Keagan Ballard of Carlson Gracie MMA, out of Maple Ridge. Ballard was not only undefeated, he has never heard the final bell since he has stopped all of his opponents. “The first round was a solid round for Woodward who hurt Ballard,” Allison said. “Ballard came back to win rounds two and three, and the fight was a onepoint fight in favour of Ballard.” Another match of note pitted a pair of 15-year-olds against each other. Bisla Martial Arts boxer Anmol Somal took on Brandon Balbirnie of Zues Fight Science from 100 Mile House. It was an entertaining bout with Somal taking the win and the distinction of runner up for Silver Boy. It was “a great night of boxing” in front of 300-plus fans, Allison said. FINAL BELL: Langley City Boxing product Mat Andreatta was on the card but didn’t end up competing after his opponent pulled out with one day’s notice, Allison reported.
