‘Prolific’ thieves charged

Quite a

Bash!

Brothers accused of robbing Surrey home of Langley bistro owner DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times

Two men police call “prolific property crime offenders” have been charged with a break-in and robbery at the South Surrey home of Sharon Symes, the owner of Porter’s Bistro Coffee & Tea House in Langley. Abbotsford brothers Darwin Duane Dorozan, 36, and Dane Dewey Dorozan, 35, were arrested Aug. 15 shortly after $20,000 worth of property was stolen from the Symes’ Surrey house. At the time, Symes and her husband were told the two suspects were being tracked by the Surrey RCMP Property Crime Target Team, who swooped in and arrested them before they got very far. The stolen goods included flat screen televisions and jewelry. Some of it was dumped out the windows of the suspects’ van as they tried to evade capture. Both Dorozans have been charged with single counts of breaking and entering to commit an indictable offence. The younger Dorozan was released on bail pending trial two days after his arrest, while the other will have a bail hearing on Sept. 7. On Monday (Aug. 29), Surrey RCMP said the Dorozans are believed to be responsible continued, PAGE 4

Anti-HST organizer ‘tickled pink’ Wally Martin welcomes defeat of tax, Chamber calls it a disappointment DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

The defeat of the B.C. HST was good news for Wally Martin, the Langley bed and breakfast operator who co-ordinated the local campaign to repeal the controversial tax. “I’m tickled pink,” Martin told The Times Friday morning (Aug. 26), minutes after the vote results were released. Martin had hung on to all the anti-HST signs distributed during the run-up to the

vote, saying campaign head Bill Vander Zalm had sent an e-mail asking people not to recycle the signs but to keep them. From the tone of the message, Martin thinks Vander Zalm was worried the provincial Liberal government might do something questionable to ensure victory. Martin said he got involved in the fight to repeal the HST because it has hurt the economy by sending B.C. residents south in search of lower prices. “Because they’re going to the States to go shopping, they don’t stay here,” Martin said. “It’s [HST] done us no good whatsoever.” The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce campaigned to keep the tax. Chamber president Denni Bonetti called the defeat a “disappointment” and warned

the vote will cause “uncertainty” for businesses and their employees. The chamber will be lobbying the provincial government to replace the HST with what Bonetti calls an “enhanced PST” that would have some of the “efficiencies” of the merged provincial and federal HST. She would not give details. Bonetti said the chamber sees no point in simply reverting to the PST as it was before the HST was introduced. The chamber developed the “enhanced” proposal during the lead-up to the vote as as a fallback plan in the event the HST was voted down, Bonetti said. “There was always a possibility [of a loss]” she said.

Celebration planned for Langley All-Stars City Park hosting barbecue honouring Little League team Staff writer

Langley is welcoming home the Langley All-Stars Little Leaguers in style, with an

official celebration barbecue on Thursday (Sept.1). After winning the Canadian Little League baseball championships, the team of 11-,12- and 13-year-olds flew to Williamsport, Pa., to represent Canada at the Little League World Series. The team was ousted from the double-knockout tournament

in their fourth game on Aug. 23 against Japan, when they were defeated 4-0. Japan, which won the International Division, lost to Huntington Beach (Calif.) in the championship final. Langley finished the series 2-2, with a win against Saudi Arabia, a loss to Venezuela and an upset win against Chinese-Taipei.

The players returned home on Sunday. This is only the second time the Langley team has represented Canada at the World Series. The last time was in 1998, before many of the team’s players were born. The public is invited to join in the celebrations.

Also on hand will be both Langley mayors, MLA’s and MP. The event will be at City Park, 207 Street and 51 Ave, from 6 to 9 p.m. The All-Stars team will be dressed in their Team Canada uniforms for photos. The championship trophy and other awards will be on display as well.

CAPSULE COMMENTS Eating a good breakfast is important. After a period of 8-12 hours without food, the body experiences low levels of blood sugar. Breakfast provides fuel for your body and keeps you alert and functioning efﬁciently throughout the morning.

with Pinder Mann

Don’t skip that important ﬁrst meal of the day. Remember those old black and white movies? It seemed that everyone smoked. In 1948, 82% of British men smoked. Today that number is down to 22%. The message is getting through.

Regular exercising early in life is like opening a savings account. Later in life, you will enjoy the “money” you put in when you were younger. Taking care of your body now will lead to a much healthier and enjoyable life. So start “saving” now. Remember, you are never too old to start an exercise program. People joke about being forgetful. “It’s probably early Alzheimer’s”, they laugh. However, if you are forgetting things like your address or phone number, it is a good reason to see your doctor. It could be a health concern. There is much research being done on the cause and treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease. You can be sure when new treatments become available, our pharmacists will know about it. Our pharmacists are a great drug information resource! ADVERTORIAL

Result was surprise to chamber HST, from PAGE 1

Still, she said, the outcome came as a surprise to the chamber, “not one that was expected.” Langley voters narrowly supported the HST. In Fort Langley-Aldergrove 54.16 per cent were in favor while in the Langley riding, 51.16 per cent voted to keep the tax. Both ridings are represented by Liberal MLAs, who supported the HST. Elections B.C. announced that 54.73 per cent of the 1.6 million British Columbians who voted in the referendum wanted it eliminated. The mail-in ballot was forced by a recall initiative spearheaded by former premier Vander Zalm, along with political commentator and former NDP strategist Bill Tieleman. The mail-in referendum question read: “Are you in favour of extinguishing the HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) and reinstating the PST (Provincial Sales Tax) in conjunction with the GST (Goods and Services Tax)? (Yes/No).”

for other residential break-andenters in Langley, Surrey, White Rock and New Westminster. They face another 20 additional charges, police said. The robbery of the Symes house was the beginning of a bad week for the owner of the coffee house in the historic building at the Five Corners intersection of 216 Street and 48 Avenue.

On Monday, Aug. 22, as Symes and her daughter were preparing to leave the shop following an after-hours visit to restock supplies, a young driver lost control of a Honda in the roundabout and smashed into the front entrance just as Symes went to check the lock. Symes yelled at her daughter to run and shoved her out of the way of the oncoming car. “I thought I was going to die,” she said.

FUTURE SHOP - CORRECTION NOTICE

Instead of crashing into the shop, the Honda skidded into the wall beside the door. The impact covered the interior with glass and debris and sent a heavy metal antique cash register flying, but no one was hurt. After the structural damage was assessed, Porter’s reopened on Wednesday (Aug. 24) with a large piece of paper, cut to resemble a bandage, over the boarded-up entrance window.

Langley woman meets rescuers for first time

Come visit our Take a Break Lounge

at the Langley Good Times Cruise In

Staff writer

A Langley woman who suffered a massive heart attack while driving last month has been reunited with the two men who saved her life. Jana Mitchell, 44, was travelling down Highway 1 in Coquitlam July 21 when her heart stopped. Seeing her slumped at the wheel, two other drivers intervened. Courtney Smith used his own vehicle to bring her car to a halt and Ron MacLeod performed CPR to restart her heart. Mitchell, a single mother of three, met the two men for the first time just over a month later. As a CTV News camera recorded the moment, she threw her arms around both men when they arrived at her front door. “You guys are unbelievable,” an emotional Mitchell said. “I’m speechless.” Smith was driving down Highway 1 when he saw Mitchell’s car swerve at 80 km/h as she sat unconscious behind the wheel. He used his van to box her in and bring her car to a halt before she crashed into a concrete barrier. MacLeod helped Smith pull the unconscious woman from her car and gave her CPR until paramedics arrived. Mitchell still can’t remember anything about the heart attack. A few weeks after her first cardiac arrest, she suffered a second one, and learned she suffers from a rare heart condition. Titanium stents are now keeping her alive. “It’s a really unbelievable feeling knowing there is someone connected to me like that in my life,” Mitchell said.

Rescuers Courtney Smith and Ron MacLeod were reunited with Jana Mitchell of Langley on Aug. 24. The two men came to her aid when the 44-year-old woman suffered a heart attack while driving in Coquitlam. “I think I’ll always be connected with those two gentlemen.” MacLeod, an Agricultural Land Commission investigator, and Smith. a salesman, don’t see themselves as heroes. “Just being a good person, that’s how I want to be known,” Smith said. “Being a hero is not part of that.” “I think I did something that I hope most people would do, which is help somebody else,” MacLeod said.

WE SAY

THEY SAY

A service we don’t use

No mention of fares

Statistics Canada study in 2010 found that 82 per cent of people use cars to get to work, while 12 per cent used transit and six per cent walked. Nine million of the 10.6 million Canadians going off to work said they had never used transit. Of the 1.6 million who had tried transit, 53 per cent of those people considered it inconvenient. The study showed that it takes considerably longer to take transit to work. In Canada’s six largest cities, it took an average of 27 minutes to get to or from work by car, but 44 minutes by transit. All times are for door-to-door travel — from the door of the home to the door of the workplace. The study does not break down figures for communities like Langley. In the Metro Vancouver area, it took an average of 23 minutes longer to travel to work by transit than by car. Some earlier Statistics Canada information from 2006 provides more illuminating figures about transit in Langley. These figures prove conclusively that TransLink is of little to no value to the vast majority of Langley residents, even though they pay large sums towards its existence through property and gas taxes. In Langley City, depending on the area, between 81 and 94 per cent of people used their cars to get to work. The highest transit use, in one Langley City neighborhood, was 11.6 per cent. In Aldergrove, over 95 per cent of residents used cars to get to work. Transit use was just 1.8 per cent. In Langley Township urban neighbourhoods, such as Murrayville, Willoughby and Walnut Grove, the numbers of car commuters were between 88.9 per cent and 92.3 per cent. In the Salmon River uplands area, where there is virtually no transit service, the figure was the highest in the entire Metro Vancouver region — 96.5 per cent. The figures also show that between 4.1 and 8.4 per cent of people in Langley City walk to work. A few hardy souls continue to use transit to commute to and from work. More power to them. The transit service has improved marginally here, since the 2006 figures were compiled, notably with service to Maple Ridge, service along 64 Avenue and more frequent service on the 502 route, which goes through Surrey to SkyTrain. Despite that, Langley residents are not getting their money’s worth.

C Ferries’ ridership levels have sunk to lows unseen for more than a decade, and show little sign of resurfacing anytime soon. Network-wide passenger numbers dropped 3.7 per cent and the number of vehicles fell 4.2 per cent, compared to this time last year. Although that may mean shorter passenger lineups, it doesn’t bode well for a company already projected to lose $20 million before the end of the current fiscal year. Given a stagnant U.S. economy, stringent border formalities, soaring loonie and iffy summer weather, it’s no surprise tourists have voted to pass on a ferry trip. What is surprising is how discussion about reasons behind the low ridership have thus far avoided the $54.35 question. That’s the return fare for two people and a regular car to travel between Vancouver Island and Salt Spring. We all know it’s a price that’s risen significantly in recent years. All of the reasons offered for this year’s ridership woes undoubtedly play a role, but BC Ferries won’t admit what role fares figure into the mix. It’s unfortunate because without that information, regular ferry users may have to deal with the type of dumbfounding solutions floated by BC Ferries’ CEO David Hahn last week. He said, given that the cost of fuel and labour are outside of the corporation’s direct control (the former dictated by world markets, the latter governed by negotiations), a clear solution is higher ferry fares. No mention of the ill-timed decision by BC Ferries’ board chair to defend the $315,000 annual pension Hahn will receive when he retires in 2013. With plenty of time before his 10 years at the helm are up, the CEO has set out to conduct a comprehensive review to make up the anticipated end-of-year shortfall. Without more funding from the province, most of us are all too familiar with how that money is supposedly recovered. Too bad staying at home on the island hasn’t sent the right message. —Gulf Islands Driftwood The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

RELOCATION BEST

POST-LAYTON ERA

Editor: The shooting of a bear in Willoughby did not have to happen. Conservation and police officers knew for at least six days that this young bear was wandering around Langley. Originally, this bear wasn’t causing any problems. If it had been tranquilized and relocated days earlier, it would not have been laying dead in the middle of the street. It is very sad that more effort isn’t put into relocating, rather than killing. C. Cannon, Langley

Choosing optimism and hope Editor: Last Monday morning, I woke up after one of those beautiful Lower Mainland weekends. Outside my window, what had been sunshine and heat for days had turned into a heavy downpour. It was cleansing, giving, and glum. As usual, I dashed through my morning routine and jumped in my car. I turned on the ignition, expecting the voice of Rick Cluff on CBC One to cheerfully welcome me into the world. Instead, by the time I was out of my garage and down the lane, I received the news that made me stop my car. On Monday morning, Canada lost a hero. I have had the opportunity to meet Jack Layton on a few occasions. He was as strong, motivating and humble as you might expect from one of his appearances on TV. As I got to know him, I learned that in private, just as much as in public, he was a politician. He and his family had sacrificed

their lives to the world of Parliament, so that our voices could ring loudly and clearly in the House of Commons. He brought an honour to his work that we rarely associate with politics these days. By Monday evening, Canadians almost universally united in Piotr Majkowski remembrance. I attended the candlelight vigil in Vancouver. Hundreds of mourners came together to remember and grieve. People cried, people hugged, people spoke and listened. Hundreds of candles lined the steps of the art gallery. Posters, placards and notes stood in memoriam among the

flickering light. I stayed until most people had left. Seeing the few mourners and the placards, tourists walking by would ask who Jack Layton was. I told them that he was a great man, a leader, and a friend. On Tuesday morning, the sun had returned, but with a cold breeze. Where we stood united in remembrance the night before, we now stand united in our will. The greatest thing that Jack brought to politics was optimism and hope. Today, I choose to be optimistic and hopeful about our future. I hope for a future where we all insist on what is just, and all commit ourselves to building a better world, the same way Jack did. With love, hope, and optimism, Piotr Majkowski Editor’s note — Mr. Majkowski was the NDP candidate in Langley in the May federal election.

SAVING MONEY Editor: I was happy to read an article that said not only will families save a lot of money from the recentlyannounced lower BC Hydro rates, but companies will, too. That translates into potential savings for me, not only on my hydro bill, but also some of the products I buy from these companies. This means a lot in this day and age where every dollar counts. Bravo to Premier Christy Clark for making the right call. Fred Scott, Richmond

Country roads enduring higher traffic levels Editor: Thanks very much to the Township’s traffic and engineering department. Our relatively peaceful neighbourhood has now been turned into a NASCAR race track weekdays starting at 5:30 a.m., continuing on all day and well into the night. On weekends, we have joined the MotoGP motorcycle racing circuit. The said departments decided in their wisdom to ignore community safety concerns and carry on regardless, turning a deaf ear to all pleas from local residents. Zero Avenue has been closed between 248 and 256 Streets, for the replacement of a bridge. Instead of routing the traffic to already busy arterial streets, engineering and traffic decided to use country roads that are part of the linear trail system.

We now have all manner of racing vehicles, double tandem feed trucks, dump trucks, motorcycles, plus of course endless commuter cars and pickups, all going at least 30 clicks over the posted speed limit of 50 km/h and madly passing if the locals are not going fast enough. Any notion of walking, riding or cycling is gone. It is totally unsafe. Even getting the local papers from the mailbox is a scary proposition. My husband and I used to enjoy a quiet walk in the evening. Forget it, it’s not worth the risk. Some neighbours were nearly run down while walking, and have now been forced to change their daily routine. Zero Avenue residents fought for years for speed bumps to slow traffic. We now have all

of the 0 Avenue traffic, but no speed bumps. Seemingly, we have to live with this until the end of November. We can hardly wait until the weather changes, when the mornings and evenings are dark and school kids are back on the roads. Heaven forbid that there be snow or ice. Township engineering and traffic departments — thanks for listening to us. Thanks for opting for the first idea that popped into your mind and sticking with it. We are really looking forward to the upcoming months of endless speeding screeching vehicles. Thanks so much for truly serving the community you are supposed to be working for. Liz Kowalczyk, Langley

HIGH GAS PRICES Editor: The HST vote has been counted, the Vancouver riot charges are moving at a snail’s pace, and we can once again deal with some of the other issues. One is the cost of gasoline. Now, I would really like to know how it is that many gas stations in Langley can justify charging over $1.35 per litre? I can buy gas for $1.17 a litre at Station Road Shell in Aldergrove, and $1.17 a litre in Abbotsford. Why is there a 15 cent or more difference? The cost of a barrel of oil has been dropping like lead, and yet these stations insist on charging high prices, like nothing has changed. Please explain this to me. D. Atkinson, Langley

HST is dead, now comes the blame game Editor: The HST referendum vote count has found that a very small majority of those who cast ballots voted against the HST. Thus, the HST is eventually going to be dead and buried. But the matter is not truly over, and perhaps never will be. Now comes the blame game. Effective immediately, everything that occurs involving B.C.’s economy that even just slightly tilts towards the negative (such as a budget deficit), perhaps even the odd act of God such as lightning taking out an electrical power grid for a couple hours, will be blamed on all of those anti-HST voters who simply refused to be adequately “(re-)educated” about all those juicy good things that a firmly-

entrenched HST would shower all over all British Columbians. Of course, many would acknowledge that the blame game would go the other way around, had the pro-HST voters won the day, as they almost did. However, one cannot claim that the blame game would automatically be reversed. The mainstream news media could not be relied upon to accurately reflect anti-HST sentiments and reasoning in the case of a pro-HST win, especially in regards to the formidable negative effects on middle and low income B.C.ers. and the multiple billions in additional annual profits that all — including news media — corporations would enjoy, as

a major portion of the corporate tax burden would be shifted upon those who can least afford it. I’m convinced of such news media bias, for even as the Liberal government in effect allocated itself and other pro-HST forces a $7-million-plus budget (almost all of which went towards blatantly biased “non-partisan HST information”), while granting the antiHST forces a relatively paltry $250,000. Nonetheless, virtually all of B.C.’s newspapers, especially The Vancouver Sun and Province, maintained a deafening silence on this blatant injustice. Frank G. Sterle, Jr., White Rock

troubles in Europe. He refers to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Government Party,â&#x20AC;? which is the ever-growing public sector, and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dependency Party,â&#x20AC;? which is everyone on pensions and welfare. When those two â&#x20AC;&#x153;partiesâ&#x20AC;? constitute a majority, they can force the government to satisfy their demands without regard to economic reality. This is what has happened in Greece. It is very close to happening in other European countries, and today B.C. is a step closer to it. When the verdict came in on the HST referendum, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon talked about going around to consult the public on how to reinstate the provincial sales tax. He vowed that B.C. will somehow still balance its budget in two years, and seemed to leave the door open to some minor modifications of the sales tax system. Premier Christy Clark quickly shut that door. It would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;disrespectfulâ&#x20AC;? to do anything other than bring back the post-war PST in all its rustic beauty, with the little boutique exemptions like bicycles and Toyota Priuses that have been attached by politicians over the years. Self-employed business people can now look forward to collecting and remitting two separate taxes again. There will be a cost to this â&#x20AC;&#x153;peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory.â&#x20AC;? It will involve reducing public services, raising taxes or both.

Raymond gets second term at TWU

7 OFF

The board of governors of Trinity Western University announced Wednesday that Jonathan S. Raymond will serve a second five-year term as president of the Langley university. “The board is pleased with how Dr. Raymond has guided the university through some very difficult economic and enrollment challenges,” said Jeremy Funk, chair of the board of governors. “He leads through transparency, accountability and integrity, and most importantly, he has kept the university community focused on Jesus Christ as its essence.” Trinity Western University underwent significant changes during Raymond’s first term as president. “His ongoing work to develop a solid administrative and faculty team will enable TWU to achieve its Christ-centred mission,” said Funk.

Engagement (NSSE) as the number one Canadian school in three of five categories, and received its fifth consecutive A+ for “Quality of Education” from The Globe and Mail’s university report. “Dr. Raymond’s commitment and vision for TWU as we enter the university’s 50th year will help move the institution forward into its preferred future of becoming a world-class Christian university,” said Funk. “His ability to manage the transformation from vision to action is vital for us to continue our forward momentum.” “TWU truly is the most remarkable university in Canada,” said Raymond. “Our university is home to some of the world’s most talented and dedicated faculty, staff, and students.” While the last five years were a challenge, personally, he notes, they were a great blessing.

Other notable initiatives include: the $3.3 million expansion of the Neufeld Science Centre, funded in part with a grant from the federal Knowledge Infrastructure Program; the advancement of athletics through the Langley Events Centre site; securing space to launch a Richmond campus — slated to open in September 2013; the formation of the Aboriginal Partnership Council and designated scholarships for aboriginal students; the creation of the adult degree completion program and Bellingham campus, enabling adults to earn their degree while working; and a significant increase in the fundraising capacity of the university parlayed into financial aid for students. Quality education remained the focus during the last five years. TWU was recognized by the National Survey of Student

Port Mann Bridge passes half-way mark JEFF NAGEL Black Press

The new electronically tolled Port Mann Bridge is now half built. Politicians and construction crews gathered at the new span Saturday to mark the 50-per-cent completion milestone. The new 10-lane bridge across the Fraser River is the centrepiece of the $3.3-billion Port Mann/Highway 1 expansion project. The bridge will reduce congestion, cut commute times and ease goods movement, according to Premier Christy Clark. “Once complete, commuters will save an hour a day in travel time,” she said. Eight of the lanes of the bridge are to open by late 2012 and tolls will go into effect at the same time. The other two lanes open in 2013. Bridge users will pay a minimum $3 to

cross one-way, provided they use a transponder or pay within two days — otherwise the cost will be $5.30. The base toll rises 2.5 per cent a year. The bridge is projected to initially raise at least $175 million a year in tolls, a figure which assumes it carries 20 per cent more paying vehicles than crossed for free in 2007. Even so, it will take several more years of traffic growth and at least a further 15 per cent boost in revenue before it reaches the break-even point where tolls match the outgoing payments to the private partner that builds and maintains the project. It will be the biggest bridge in B.C., with an 850-metre-long main bridge deck and an overall length including approaches of just over two kilometres. A total of 288 cables will hold up the bridge, anchored to 160-metre high towers.

The lanes will include an HOV/bus lane in each direction, as well as a five-metre wide path for bikes and pedestrians. There will also be a local traffic lane in each direction separated from other highway traffic that will be dedicated to users going directly between Surrey and Port Coquitlam. The project is also supposed to bring a new Highway 1 RapidBus service running from a new park-and-ride in Langley via north Surrey to Lougheed SkyTrain station in Burnaby in less than 25 minutes. But TransLink says it doesn’t yet have the money to operate the Highway 1 bus service, which is one of a number of proposed expansion projects that depend on increased funding. Once the new bridge is complete, the old Port Mann Bridge will be demolished. Transportation minister Blair Lekstrom

thanked the project’s 1,500 workers and appealed to bridge users and project neighbours for continued patience and safe driving during in construction zones.

BY THE NUMBERS The new Port Mann Bridge will include: • 157,000 cubic metres of concrete • 25,000 tonnes of asphalt for a new bridge deck • 28,000 tonnes of rebar and 13,000 tonnes of structural steel • 1,158 pre-cast segments in the approach spans • 116 steel composite segments in the cable-stay span • 16 kilometres of pile and five kilometres of drilled shafts to support the structure • 45 kilometres of cable

Picturesque summer weather and the lure of a great multicultural experience brought record crowds of nearly 25,000 to the 10th annual Langley International Festival, held at the grounds of the Langley Events Centre last weekend. “It was absolutely phenomenal,” said Shar Dubas, executive director.“It was a huge, huge success.” What started as a small fundraiser for St. Joeph’s Parish in 2001 with around 1500 attendees, has now grown into a huge community event. A Volkswagen car show, a bike show, soccer tournament, tennis tournament, carnival, children’s chalet, Shakespeare production, writing contest, international food and more meant there was something there for everyone. “It’s amazing what’s happening with this festival,” Dubas said. “There’s more and more interest and more people that have immigrated to Canada, and get it

They understand what the festival is all about. And they want to showcase and share their culture and their heritage.” Dubas estimates that around 35 to 40 countries were represented at the event through booths, cars, performances, consulates, food and spectators. “The food was extraordinary this year,” she said. “It wasn’t just your carnival food, it was original ethnic food, and it was very well received. That’s the

multicultural experience that we talk about.” Marva Vital is one of 180 volunteers at the event. She was working at the food tent from Trinidad, handing out their traditional dish of roti. Made with a wheat flour flatbread, and the choice of either curry chicken, regular chicken or vegetables, the meal proved very popular over the weekend.

walk • jog • A common misconception about Peninsula Runners is that it’s a store only for the elite runner. This isn’t true. It doesn’t matter if you’ve just gotten started on the road to fitness or if you’ve been at it awhile, the staff at Peninsula Runners are there to help you meet all your fitness goals. Peninsula Runners’ slogan — Walk, Jog, Run, Play —and their motto ‘we fit feet’ describes exactly what this store is all about. The store is focused on running but there is a wide variety of footwear for every activity. The staff will fit you with a shoe specially designed for each activity. Each member of the staff is trained to make sure that you are comfortable and most importantly that the running shoe is the most suitable for your foot’s unique characteristics. The large range of footwear carried includes running shoes, cross trainers, walking shoes, court shoes, sandals and casual dress. The store carries a good selection of hard to fit sizes in each category. Paul Williams, a 1990 Good Will Games gold medalist and three times Olympian, opened the first Peninsula Runners store in 1996 in White Rock. Phil Ellis came on board in 1997 and he opened the second store in Walnut Grove in 2001, followed by a third location in Abbotsford. An avid runner, Phil started running in high school. He won the Vancouver Sun Run in 1991 and has a ½ marathon best of 63 minutes. “Running is what I know and what I love!” he said.

A pair of Langley teens will be joined by a host of foam-filled castmates in Smile, at the Vancouver Fringe Festival BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

ageantry and puppetry. It’s not a combination that usually jumps to mind when you’re looking forward to a night out at the theatre. Then again, this is the Fringe. And there will be plenty to Smile about at the theatre festival — where different is good — as Awkward Stage Productions returns for its second year, bringing with them a pair of young Langley performers and a trunk full of puppets. Set in Santa Rosa, Calif., circa 1985, Smile follows a group of young beauty pageant contests, vying for the title of California’s Young American Miss. Bitter rivalries, bullying taskmasters and the daunting spectre of a visit from the national

chairman combine to ensure this is one pageant that will be not be pretty. Smile features 32 young performers from across the Lower Mainland, ranging in age from 14 to 24. Divided into two performance groups, the vast majority of the roles have been double cast, with “junior” and “senior” actors taking turns during the festival, which runs from Sept. 8 to 18 on stages all across the city. After mounting a production of 13, which was named Vancouver’s Pick of the Fringe at last September’s festival, the youth theatre company returned with a seam-splitting comedy featuring squishy, adorable foam puppets. OK, maybe not so adorable. “They’re not nice puppets. It’s not like Sesame Street,” laughs Katie Allinger, a 15-year-old Walnut Grove Secondary student who is

Langley’s Katie Allinger, left, and Patrick Arnott will perform alongside giant puppets at this year’s Fringe Festival. performing with Awkward Stage for the first time. The 1986 Broadway musical by Marvin Hamlisch wasn’t actually written to include puppets, noted Katie, who plays Sean, one of the pageant contestants, in the junior cast. “It was the director’s idea because it’s youth theatre.” And that means young people

are hard at work behind the scenes and in the orchestra pit, too. While she’s excited about winning the role, Katie has nothing nice to say about her own character’s, well, character. “She’s pretty much the antagonist of the show — she’s racist and spoiled. She spends pretty much the whole show

trying to sabotage the Mexican contestant. “It was interesting to try to lock into her character and not present her as one sided,” added Katie, “because she’s, frankly, a bitch.” And though she’s a bit disappointed she doesn’t get a puppet of her own to play with, acting across from the cartoonlike stuffed characters presented its own set of challenges for the teen, such as learning to interact with the puppet and not the person operating it. Katie first heard about Awkward Stage Productions while she was doing The Sound of Music with Burnaby’s Footlight Theatre Company last year. One of her cast mates had appeared in 13 and urged her to audition for their next show. continued, PAGE 20

Both Langley teens eyeing a future in musical theatre from PAGE 19

Nearly all the adult characters in Smile, by Awkward Stage productions, will be played with oversized puppets.

Katie will enter Grade 11 this fall, but looking ahead to life after graduation, she has her eye set on a career in musical theatre. If all goes to plan, after earning a theatre degree at the University of Toronto, she will head to New

York to take her shot at Broadway. For 16-year-old Patrick Arnott, the production’s only other Langley representative, the future likely holds a career in musical theatre as well. Whatever puts him on a stage. “I’ve always loved performing, and

the idea of seeing what emotions your performance can (elicit) from an audience.” The Aldergrove teen, who specializes in dance at Langley Fine Arts School, started acting at 11 years old, performing with the likes of the Fraser Valley Gilbert TELUS AUTHORIZED DEALERS LOWER MAINLAND

and Sullivan Society, Gallery 7 and Show Stoppers before joining Awkward Stage. For Patrick, the puppets are, hands down, the most exciting aspect of the play. “It’s such a cool idea,” he said. “(Puppetry) was kind of a dying art and it’s being brought back by Avenue Q and us, he said. Unlike Katie, Patrick has the distinction of being one of the few youth cast members who also gets to operate a puppet — at the beginning of the show, he handles Judge Ed, one of the panel who will choose the new Young American Miss. He is also the only member of the junior youth cast who is playing an adult character — stepping into the role of Tommy French, the pageant’s cynical, chain-smoking choreographer. “It’s going to be a really amazing show — really funny,” he said. “Try to see both casts,” Patrick advises, “because the same roles are played in a completely different way. “It’s like seeing two different shows.” Katie agrees. While she’s portraying Sean as rather clever and devious in her cruelty, her senior counterpart — 24-year-old Ashley Siddals of Burnaby — is taking a far different approach, said Katie. “She’s playing her more as a Valley Girl — kind of stupid.” She also advises parents to think twice about bringing children under 12 years old to the show, which includes some profanity and partial nudity. “It’s different, really funny, but definitely not child-appropriate,” she said.

Thunder rolls to WLA championship Langley captures first-ever Western Lacrosse Association title with series victory over New West Salmonbellies GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Happy but not jubilant. That is how Langley Thunder general manager Gerry Van Beek described the atmosphere surrounding his senior A lacrosse team. The Thunder, who have only qualified for the playoffs twice since moving to Langley seven years ago, pulled off an upset, dethroning the threetime defending Western Lacrosse Association champions and perennial powerhouse New Westminster Salmonbellies. The Thunder won game six on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre 7-5 to win the series 4-2. “It is an accomplishment, but the next level is going to be harder again, but we are happy,” Van Beek said on Monday morning. As the WLA champions, the Thunder will host the best-ofseven Mann Cup championship against either Brandon or Peterborough. The entire series will be held at the Langley Events Centre, beginning Sept. 7 and running until Sept. 15. Against New West, the team traded victories through the first four games, with both squads holding serve on their home floor. But Langley won 8-4 in game five, in New Westminster and then closed out the series at the Langley Events Centre. “The key was simply our execution, with a little bit of luck, was just a little bit better,” Van Beek said. “We stuck to the plan and played our game; we didn’t play their game.” There were just two poor periods — the first in both games one and three — the team struggled. “Outside of that, we played

pretty solid,” Van Beek said. “Not spectacular, but solid.” He added that during game two, a 12-6 Langley victory, his squad began to realize they had a great shot at winning the franchise’s first WLA title. “It showed our players that the game plan our coaches put in place would work,” he said. And the entire roster contributed to the victory. The offence retained possession on missed chances, while the defence limited New West’s scoring opportunities. And when the Salmonbellies did get chances, rookie goalie Brodie MacDonald came up with the save. MacDonald, the league’s rookie of the year, finished tops in save percentage during the playoffs with an .840 save percentage and second in goals against at 7.24. He was named the playoffs’ most valuable player. During the regular season, the Salmonbellies scored more than nine goals per game and in the playoffs’ first round, they averaged 10.2 goals per game. But against the Thunder, New West reached double digits just twice — and won both games — but for the series, they averaged only 6.5 goals per game. Langley had just enough offence, averaging 7.5 per game. Athan Iannucci led the offence, scoring a league-high 22 post-season goals in 10 games. He was also second in points with 35. Kerry Susheski was fifth in playoff scoring with 23 points (nine goals, 14 assists). One of the players Van Beek singled out was Brett Mydske, who may not have shown up on the scoresheet — he had two points in the series — but

Below: Thunder’s Brett Mydske (#2) is down but not out as he checks his New West opponent. was a big factor for his overall play. “He was a horse,” the general manager said, explaining that Mydske probably played the most minutes of any player in the series, except the goaltenders. Mydske was named the winner of the WLA’s Fred Wooster Unsung Hero Award earlier this month. Van Beek also thanked the minor lacrosse community of not only Langley but the entire Fraser Valley, which came out to show their support at the games. But despite being the WLA champs, Langley wants more. “It is satisfying to get to this

point,” he said. “We put together a plan that we believed was solid, and we

had to tweak it here and there, but we believed if we stuck to it, we could have success.”

In the mixed final, Team FORTified defeated both Victoria and Salmon Arm to win gold. Many of the ladies from the mixed team then hopped over to the ladies team boat to race another championship race back-to-back, and still took home the gold against Christina Lake and Penticton, despite the fatigue. They are now three time gold champions at the Senior Games. Equally as impressive, the mixed team also consists of seven men and 13 women, when regulations allow for up to 12 men in a boat. Most teams follow this procedure, but not team FORTified. “The saying we all use is that our women paddle like men, and they say ‘no we don’t, we paddle like strong women’ and they do,” Linden said. Formed three years ago, team FORTified is one of 15 dragon boat teams now operating out of the Fort Langley Canoe Club. Seven years ago there were only two teams. The popularity of the sport in Langley has skyrocketed. “The camaraderie of the team is no doubt the big one,” Linden said of his favourite part of the sport. “We got together with the goal of going in the Senior Games, but it’s that feeling of being with a large group of people that is just great.”

Rams roll to second straight victory Hockey Huskers no match for explosive Rams offence The Langley Rams head into their bye week on a high after posting a season-high in points on Saturday night. The junior football team racked up 46 points — scoring touchdowns on offence, defence and special teams — while holding the Chilliwack Huskers to a single touchdown in a 46-7 victory at McLeod Park.

The win was the Rams’ second straight, improving the team to 2-3, while Chilliwack fell to 0-5 in the B.C. Junior Football Conference. Nick Downey scored on a 75-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Brandon Leyh and also on an 84-yard kickoff return. Leyh also threw a touchdown score to Daniel English.

Along the ground, Clay Ross was the workhorse, rushing for 101 yards and two scores. The Rams defence also had a stellar outing, picking off four passes, including one which was returned for a touchdown by Nick Felicella. Joe Patko, Charles Scott and Jeff Paras had the other picks.

Langley’s front seven on defence was dominant with Scott Puffer, Chris Mulangu, Ben Olson and Sheldon Vanroon each recording quarterback sacks. And on special teams, Spensor Farbatuk had four tackles to lead the Rams kickoff coverage squad. Nick Naylor rounded out the scoring with five converts and a field goal. The Rams are back in action on Sept. 9 when they host the Kamloops Broncos (1-4) at McLeod Stadium. Game time is 7 p.m.

league expands Space still available for men’s 30+ rec league

The White Rock Senior Hockey League is expanding to Langley. Formed in 1996 and entering its 15th season, the league has grown from 44 members to more than 500. And with the Walnut Grove Sportsplex adding a new sheet of ice this fall, the league will begin playing some games out of there. There are currently 24 teams registered for next season — in the gold, silver and bronze divisions — with space for more. The league has three Langley teams — the Langley Lords, Fraser Sockeye and the Beavers. Teams play a 21-game season with one game per week. The league was founded on the principle of a gentlemen’s recreational hockey league where the teams and players compete in a sportsmanlike manner and display good will towards opponents and fellow league members. League rules tally penalty infractions and once a player accumulates a certain amount of penalties on the season, they are no longer permitted to play. It is open to those players 30 and over looking to play a recreational brand of hockey, regardless of ability. Players under 30 will be permitted if they are beginner adults. Cost is $580 per player, and this includes uniform rental and entry in the league’s year-end tournament. For more information, visit www.wrshl.com or call 604.534.9525.

Universities launch CanadaWest.TV University sports fans can watch live on Internet Fans of the Trinity Western Spartans and UFV Cascades and other CIS basketball and volleyball teams will be able to watch their schools in action live on their computer this year. The Canada West Universities Athletic Association announced on Wednesday a partnership with Stretch Internet to launch CanadaWest.TV, the official home of web-based broadcasting for all 14 Canada West member institutions during the 2011-12 season and beyond. The first network of its kind in Canada, CanadaWest.TV will be the exclusive live home of all Canada West basketball and volleyball games along with selected games in other sports including football, hockey, and soccer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are thrilled to announce this partnership with Stretch Internet and launch this online network, which will greatly enhance the experience of our fans who want to catch live Canada West

action for those who cannot make it to the game,â&#x20AC;? said Ben Matchett, Canada West vice-president of marketing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It provides us with a unique opportunity as a conference and as individual schools to have our product seen by fans across Western Canada and around the world, and our new mobile platform means they will not miss a minute of the action no matter where they go.â&#x20AC;? Live video for all streamed games will be available online as well as on all Flash 10.1-enabled mobile devices and, for the first time in Canadian university sport, on all iPhone OS devices â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cannot emphasize enough how thrilled we are to partner with Canada West,â&#x20AC;? said Stretch Internet president Ryan Ermeling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our platform is perfectly suited to the needs of the conference and its 14 member institutions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fans will enjoy an incredibly user-rich experience, with high-quality live and on-demand video along with integrated live stats and other features â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on both desktop and mobile platforms,â&#x20AC;? he

added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since our very first discussions in Calgary, it has been evident to us that quality and professionalism are of the utmost importance to the conference, and we are confident we will deliver on both fronts.â&#x20AC;? In addition to live coverage of Canada West events, CanadaWest.TV also includes a live scoreboard and statistics in the same window â&#x20AC;&#x201C; truly creating a one-stop platform to follow university sport in Western Canada. All broadcasts will be archived and available on demand immediately following the conclusion of the broadcast, and select games will feature live blog and chat capabilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rather than our fans spending time searching the web for links to a broadcast, they can go to one place and find everything they are looking for,â&#x20AC;? said Matchett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stretch Internet and the Sports Information Directors at all Canada West schools have worked very hard to see this happen, and we are looking forward to a great initial season and beyond.â&#x20AC;?
