Roundup to end dumping of cats

Calling all kittens! Langley’s animal shelter is trying to collect unwanted litters. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Three abandoned litters of kittens is three too many for the Langley Animal Protection Society. The local animal welfare organization is holding a Kitten Roundup to rescue unwanted cats, and to encourage residents to spay and neuter their pets. The roundup, on July 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., will allow noquestions-asked drop-off of kittens, moms, and pregnant cats at the Patti Dale Animal Shelter. There will be no fees at all, said Sean Baker, director of the shelter. The goal is to prevent people from dumping cats. It happened again July 14 at Aldergrove Lake Park. A batch of kittens was found in a Rubbermaid container with a small bowl of water. Anyone who can’t make it to the Aldergrove shelter can call a

new Kitten Roundup Hotline at 604-332-4449, and a team will be sent to pick up the animals and drop off spay and neuter vouchers. It’s a proactive measure designed to prevent incidents LAPS has been dealing with in recent weeks. At the start of the month, 10 kittens were found in a sealed box behind a church in Langley City. Three escaped when a Good Samaritan heard noise inside and opened the box. One of the remaining seven never recovered from the ordeal and died shortly after being taken to LAPS. The story of the abandoned kittens, combined with a livestream of them online, helped make the cats celebrities. Baker and the LAPS staffers spent the next couple of weeks fielding numerous offers to adopt the kittens. While the six remaining kittens – which were from two litters – were recovering, LAPS workers were alerted to the litter left in a Rubbermaid container in an Aldergrove park. The abandoned litters may be high-profile, but there are plenty of less-famous cats in the shelter right now, at the height of “kitten

Jake Virtanen, selected sixth overall in the NHL Entry Draft, commutes to Langley to work out with TnT Hockey Performance Training. by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

If you’re concerned that being the highest Vancouver Canucks draft pick since Daniel and Henrik Sedin were taken second and third, respectively, in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft would get to Jake Virtanen’s head, fear not. A brief chat with the Canucks’ first pick, sixth overall in the 2014 draft, reveals a teenager whose noggin is firmly planted on his shoulders. The 17-year-old Abbotsford resident has a tantalizing blend Troy Landreville/Langley Advance of size and skill.

But arguably his biggest attributes are core strength and the power he has in his legs. “He’s real explosive,” Jackson said, “lower body especially. It shows in his skating stride, too. He’s really strong in the gym, too, when it comes to lower body strength and power. That’s what you see in his skating stride. That’s probably his best attribute. Plus, he works pretty hard, too.” There was sticker shock, initially, for Virtanen in 2011/12 when he made the jump from the BC Major Midget League to the major junior Hitmen for a ninegame stint. But it didn’t take long for him to adjust to playing against opponents as many as three years older than him.

“It was definitely a big change with guys being stronger,” he said, “but I felt like I made that jump pretty easily. It wasn’t as tough as I thought it’d be. I know guys who are older than me said they had a tough time transferring over because the guys are a lot bigger and stronger.” Virtanen knows Langley well, having grown up in the community before moving to Abbotsford with his family when he was 12. These days, he makes the trek west along Highway One to his old hometown to work out with TnT. “I started with them, going into my 16-year-old year,” he recalled. Virtanen is the first B.C. born player to be drafted in the first round by the Canucks since Cam Neely was taken in 1983. Neely played a comparable game to Virtanen during his Hockey Hall of Fame career with the Canucks and most notably, the Boston Bruins. YouTube videos are the only avenue Virtanen has of watching game footage of Neely, the NHL’s prototypical power forward of the late 1980s and early ’90s who hung up his skates for good in 1996. Instead, he models his game after a pair of modern-day heavyweights with elite skill sets: Ryan Getzlaf and Rick Nash. “They’re bigger guys who can take pucks to the net pretty good,” he said, of Nash and Getzlaf. “They’re pretty big, physical guys and they’re leaders, so I’m kind of modeling [my game] after them.” Virtanen has work to do to first make the NHL, and forge a memorable career once he’s there, but he’s more than willing to put in the time and the effort. “I think it’s every kid’s dream to make the NHL, and so far, right now, my dream’s come true and I’m just trying to get there as quick as possible,” Virtanen said. “That’s the goal.” • More at langleyadvance.com

Detour all summer on River Rd.

A stretch of River Road has collapsed, cutting off a route from Glen Valley to Abbotsford. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A stretch of River Road is closed until further notice after a culvert collapsed near the Abbotsford-Langley border. Sometime Wednesday night or Thursday morning, a section of road collapsed where a slough meets the Fraser River, said Jan Loots, manager of projects for the City of Abbotsford.

The culvert was a sizeable corrugated steel pipe, and Loots said they aren’t sure yet why it collapsed. They can’t even safely get to many of the pieces yet. Replacing it will require a purpose-built culvert, and it will take several weeks just to order the new structure. Getting everything installed could take until the end of the summer. “We will attempt to have it complete by the end of August,” said Loots. The road closure will affect drivers and cyclists using River Road east of 272nd Street in Langley and west of Lefeuvre Road in Abbotsford. Traffic is being diverted south on those roads to 84th Avenue.

Labour dispute

LTA gives strike update

YOUR TROUBLE FREE

Local teachers hosted a public forum as the dispute drags on. by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

About 60 people turned out to the Langley Teachers’ Association public forum July 16 on why teachers are still striking. The local teachers union invited several people to participate. The local Langley MLAs and two Langley mayors were could not fit the event into their schedules. The forum attracted mostly people connected with education, including many teachers, as the LTA, the BC Teachers Federation, the Langley School District vice chair and others made presentations and responded to questions to get their views out there to counter the messages being put out by the provincial government. “We feel we’ve made a lot of compromise,” said Teri Mooring, the BC Teachers Federation second vice-president. Mooring said the BCTF is open to mediation this summer but said the government wanted concessions before it would enter mediation. NDP MLA David Eby, of Vancouver Point Grey, talked about the political agenda behind the Liberal government’s actions and what he called the “bizarre fiscal policy” that prolongs the strike to save money by not having kids in class. Eby added that the Liberals want the education system to appear broken to justify the changes they want to make, including increased privatization. He and other speakers noted the court judgements against the government over class size and composition. The province is appealing the latest B.C.

Langley School District board vice chair Rob McFarlane was one of the panelists, along with BC Labour Congress secretary-treasurer Irene Lanzinger (left) and Teri Mooring, the BC Teachers Federation second vicepresident. Supreme Court decision. “There’s a real problem when you have a government disregarding what the court is saying to it,” Eby added. The BCTF has found the government much more aggressive than in the past, commented Mooring. She pointed to the 10 per cent pay reduction. The employer (BCPSEA which negotiates on behalf of the provincial government) had previous applied for a pay reduction but the Labour Relations Board rejected it in the past. The LRB approved it for this job action. This time the employer brought in time limits, saying teachers could only be at work 45 minutes before and after the school day and were restricted for recess and lunchtime.

The money

The provincial government says it can’t afford teacher demands. BC Federation of Labour secretary-treasurer Irene Lanzinger noted that this Liberal government brought in tax cuts and corporate tax cuts when first elected, foregoing billions in revenue that could fund public services. “It is one of the richest provinces in one of the richest countries in the world,” noted Iglinka Ivanova, an economist with the Canadian Centre

for Policy Alternatives. She said going back to 2001 taxation levels would bring in an extra $2 billion from taxpayers. And if B.C. had the average Canadian tax rate, and not the lowest as it does now, it would bring in more than $1 billion annually. Ivanova pointed to the Liberals’ temporary tax rate for those earning $150,000 or more. It expires in December 2015 and was intended to bring in extra tax revenue. “They have shown that it is possible to change tax rates,” she noted.

Other unions

LTA president Gail Chaddock-Costello explained about the teachers’ union decision to picket the school district head office, which impacts CUPE members. She said the CUPE members who joined LTA members on the picket lines receive strike pay. As well CUPE has reached an agreement with the provincial government but Langley’s local hasn’t ratified it yet. When it is, pay provisions come into effect and those CUPE members affected by the picketing are not going to lose pay and get to keep any strike pay, ChaddockCostello noted.

Langley’s news for 83 years

It was 83 years ago this week – on July 23, 1931 – that the Langley Advance first came off the presses and into the hands of avid Langley readers. Canada, like the rest of the world, was in the throes of the Great Depression, businesses were failing across the country, and it took a special kind of optimism that a small community newspaper could be started. Langley merchants had got together only three months earlier, in the midst of the adversity of that economic climate, with the realization that only by cooperating could their business community build the strength it needed to survive the uncertainty. As the Langley Board of Trade (now the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce), they believed their best chance of building a credible and stable community – one that would grow and attract new business – needed its own newspaper. Meanwhile, newspaperman E.J. Cox, a recent arrival to B.C. from Saskatchewan – a province even harder-hit by the depression – was keen to start his own newspaper. With the Board of Trade’s pledge of cooperation, the Langley Advance (now the Langley chamber’s longest-standing member) was born. A lot has changed in Langley since that first edition of the Advance found its way into the community’s homes, often in exchange for firewood, butter, vegetables, or anything else that Cox could use – it was, after all, the Great Depression. Since then, Langley, a group of tiny rural communities centred on a small but eager business core in Langley Prairie, has grown into two important municipalities, Township and City, which share the Lower Mainland’s largest regional shopping centre outside of Vancouver. The few thousand mostly farming folk are now an economically vibrant community of 140,000. And like Langley itself, the Advance has changed, too, embracing new technologies to continue to serve the community that has, through these past 83 years, served us so well in return. – B.G.

Too much development rubber-stamped Dear Editor, In approving commercial space in a future townhouse complex on 83rd Avenue, Township council has again

ignored residents’ concerns with developers. The latest example allows a townhouse complex to have commercial units. Why

Langley Township

Waterline project not funny

Dear Editor, We live on a section of 52nd Avenue where the water pipeline passes right in front of our door. What a joke! Our little section of this project was – we were told – to be about two weeks. It has been more than three months. And they are still trying to find out what went wrong. They dug up the road, laid some pipe, and then paved over same – only to have to dig it up again and again. Name withheld, Langley

on earth would they allow commercial suites smack dab in the middle of a residential neighbourhood? Do we not have enough commercial space, say, in commercial areas? The amount of density being formed in this part of Langley is already alarming. We need a mayor and council that will not just rubber stamp every proposal that is put before them. There is nothing wrong with development, but it needs to be done responsibly. Warren Da Silva, Yorkson

Fort Langley

Issue has always been Coulter Berry’s size

Dear Editor, As far as most of us are concerned, there has been no “vile vitriol spewing forth” against the Langley Township [Building suddenly a moral issue, July 15 Letters, Langley Advance], but simply objections to the variance in the height and footprint regulations allowed in the case of one Fort Langley building. As I have said many times, everyone we know is in favour of the building at the corner of Glover Road and Mavis Avenue. However, one cannot help but object to the impact the size will make on the historic village scene. The heart of the village, the Fort Langley Community Hall, will be dwarfed. The then-Langley Heritage Commission, which included Don Luxton, Peter Fassbender, architects, and planners who worked

with the community on the Official Community Plan and Heritage Guidelines, unanimously passed the motion to support the height bylaw for Fort Langley. Township planner Paul Crawford said, “The height is restricted in the heritage conservation area to maintain the scale of a village.” All other builders have conformed to the OCP and guidelines. The new buildings are almost ready for

business and occupancy. The Coulter Berry building is most disappointing to many of our 300,000 tourists and families who come to enjoy a stroll through the village and a visit to the many historic sites surrounding the Fort. How difficult would it be to reduce the height and length and conform to the guidelines as the other builders have done? Bays Blackhall, Langley

What you’re telling us on Facebook A letter to the editor by Jordan Bateman, •former Advance reporter, then Langley

Township councillor, and now anti-tax guru with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, calling for a tax refund for money not spent on striking teachers got some reaction: Perhaps he could be asking why taxpayers are paying MLAs over $120,000 each (plus tax-free allowance plus housing allowance plus 4X taxpayer funded pension plus...) when they work less than 40 days per year. He could be asking where the $300 million per year (for the past 13 years) that the Liberals have “saved” by underfunding public education has gone. – Dale Harrison Damn right!

Barb Taylor has been lawn bowling for 15 years and will take part in her first BC Seniors Games later this summer. member takes turn throwing three bowls against their opponent before retiring from the match. The last players, the skips for each side, will have to get the best position and grab the points. “The skip controls the play,” said Taylor. Langely’s club, as the host for this year’s BC Seniors Games competition, will be putting a number of

teams into the fray. With the Games in her backyard, Taylor decided to get involved for the first time. She said she’ll be playing to win. “We’re very competitive,” she said. That isn’t true for every lawn bowler. “A lot of people aren’t, they’re social bowlers,” she said. The BC Seniors Games take place this year from Sept. 9-13.

by Matthew Claxton The rules of lawn bowling are relatively simple, but the execution of them can create a complex game. Barb Taylor of the Langley Lawn Bowling Club will be competing in this year’s BC Seniors Games, to be held in Langley in September. She’s been playing on and off for about 15 years, and she likes the game for its difficult technical challenges and constant changes. “It’s always challenging,” Taylor said. Lawn bowling is similar to a whole family of games that includes bocce, and which date back hundreds of years. In lawn bowling, the first player tosses out a small white ball, the jack. The object is for the players to get as many balls as possible close to the jack by the end of the match. Scoring is similar to curling – teams or individuals gain points for every ball they have in proximity to the jack, until one of their opponents balls is closer. The difficulty for lawn bowling is that it is legal to hit and move both the jack and other balls during play. Shallow ditches mark the end of the playing green, and while it’s legal to knock the jack into the ditch, any balls that fall in are considered out of play. The balls, dubbed bowls, are not perfectly spherical and are weighted to one side, so they move in arcs rather than straight lines. Added to that, said Taylor, is the fact that even the playing surface itself will change during a single match. “The grass changes,” she said. Moisture and dew will dry out and affect the way the bowls move. Lawn bowling is played with singles and teams of two, three, or four players, in all-men, all-women, or mixed groups. When playing in teams, each
