Tossed cup takes out fire truck Township of Langley engine is expected to remain out of service for an entire week DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times

District Chief Bryant Ross says the Township of Langley has lost the use of this $650,000 fire truck for a week because of a casually tossed soft drink cup, which shattered the vehicle’s windshield. Video online at www.langleytimes.com.

It was an ordinary fast food drink cup filled with ice and water that cost, at most, two or three dollars. But it was enough to take a $650,000 Township of Langley Fire Department pumper truck out of service for a week. Engine 4-1, a 1998 American LaFrance Eagle/Anderson with a three-man crew aboard was returning to fire hall No. 4 in Willoughby on Saturday (June 4) after a medical assist call. It was about 10:50 p.m. and the pumper was a few blocks from home, heading south on 202A Street in the 7500 block when someone in an oncoming vehicle tossed a drink at the fire truck. The closing (combined) speed of the two vehicles was well over 120 km/h. The crew saw headlights, then heard the impact. The two-piece fire truck windshield shattered on both sides, showering the crew with shards of glass. To the driver, it appeared a large rock had gone though the windshield. He looked behind him to see if anyone was hurt. No one was, but the crew would later spend more than an hour cleaning out the breathing apparatus stored inside the cab, to make sure there were no fragments of glass inside the face masks and hoses. Neither the firefighters nor the occupants of a third vehicle that witnessed the incident were able to get a clear look at the vehicle responsible, which left the scene. A search of the area located the cup. Township of Langley fire department District Chief Bryant Ross said the pumper would be out of service at least a week until replacement windshields could be shipped in from Calgary. “I don’t think it was malicious” Ross said. “It was just a boneheaded move.What were they thinking?” A precise estimate of the cost wasn’t available, but it was expected to be in the thousands of dollars. Langley RCMP are investigating. Any one with information about the incident is asked to call RCMP at 604-532-3200 or to remain anonymous, please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or visit www.solvecrime.ca.

B.C. Highway of Heroes dedicated DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

The Trans-Canada Highway between Langley and Abbotsford was officially dedicated as the “Highway of Heroes” Thursday morning (June 9) to honour 13 B.C. soldiers who died in Afghanistan. The roll call of the fallen includes Master Cpl. Colin Bason, a 28-year-old reserve soldier from Aldergrove killed by the explosion of roadside bomb on July 4, 2007 and Pte. Garrett Chidley, a 21-year-old full-time solider from Langley who was killed on Dec. 30, 2010 after the light armored vehicle he was driving struck an improvised explosive device. The official dedication ceremony was held at Honour House in New Westminster, the home for injured soldiers, fire fighters, paramedics and police as well as their families who require treatment in Metro Vancouver. The B.C. route from the 152 Street exit in Surrey to the Sumas exit in Abbotsford on the Trans-Canada Highway is the second Highway of Heroes named in Canada. The first is located in Ontario on Highway 401 from Canadian Forces Base Trenton to the coroners’ office in Toronto, where hundreds of people have lined the overpasses every time a fallen soldier returned home from Afghanistan. The Ontario route was officially renamed in 2007. The renaming of the B.C. route was the work of a Chilliwack-based veterans’ group, the 3rd CAV (Canadian Army Veterans) Ubique Unit. Ubique got things rolling last year with its first ever Memorial Ride for the Fallen. Vice president Barry Drews described the motorcycle ride as the West Coast Highway of Heroes. “It was the perfect wording,” Drews says. Just two weeks after the CAV’s memorial ride, he got a call from the Ministry of Transportation interested in creating a West Coast Highway of Heroes. But it wasn’t until well-connected Honour House president Allan de Genova, a former Vancouver parks commissioner got involved that the necessary commitments were made. “It is touching beyond belief,” says Drews. “This is a way for people to honour our fallen soldiers and it’s also a sign of respect to the families of the fallen. It’s a constant reminder that we as Canadians care and that their losses will never be forgotten, that it wasn’t for nothing.” An 18-by-8-foot sign will be posted at each exit that says Highway of Heroes.

Ann Bason, the mother of Master Cpl. Colin Bason who was killed in Afghanistan, Allan De Genova, the president of Honour House and Barry Drews, of the 3rd Canadian Army Veterans, admire the mock-up of the Highway of Heroes sign that will be posted along the Trans-Canada between Langley and Abbotsford to commemorate the sacrifice of Canadian soldiers and first responders. The sign was unveiled at Honour House in New Westminster on Thursday. For Langley residents, the signs will be another reminder of Master Cpl. Bason and Pte. Chidley. When Basnon volunteered for the Afghanistan tour, the mission had filled its quota of master corporals so he accepted a reduction in rank to corporal in order to go. Pte. Garrett He had about a Chidley month left in his tour of duty, and was planning to enlist as a full-time soldier on his return to Canada. He was survived by his partner, Katrina Blain, and their infant daughter Vienna. At his funeral service Bason’s parents, Ann

and Gary of Abbotsford, and his brother, Beric, led the dozens of other family members and friends along the funeral procession route, which began at Fraser Highway and 276 Street. Bason had previously served with the military in Bosnia. Master Cpl. Colin Bason He first joined the reserves in 2000. Bason was described as a stellar soldier who was passionate about his role, and a jokester who helped lift the morale of the comrades in his unit. Born in Cambridge, Ont., and raised in Langley, Pte. Chidley first started taking fly-

ing lessons at 14 and completed his first solo flight on Dec. 23, 2003, when he was 15 years old. He joined the military at 18 and was deployed to Afghanistan on his first mission in September, 2009. Pte. Chidley was a member of the 2nd Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, a Regular Force battalion based at CFB Shilo Man., serving with the Kandahar Provincial Reconstruction Team. Pte. Chidley’s family and friends spent their last days together with the soldier in November, celebrating an early Christmas while he was home on leave. During an emotional funeral, family and friends remembered the 21-year-old’s love of life, his appetite for adventure, zany sense of humour and his unique gifts and abilities - with files from Chilliwack Progress

Elsa’s life did not start out conventionally. Born at an orphanage in China, with a cleft lip and palate making it impossible for her to talk, the little girl’s life was complicated. But at four and a half, things took a turn for the better for Elsa, when she was adopted and brought to Canada, where a happier journey could begin. Most likely the result of a lack of nutrition or an environmental factor during pregnancy, Elsa’s condition is isolated to her cleft lip and palate, but due to her environment in her early developmental stages, her growth and overall development were delayed. For every month that a child spends in an orphanage setting, they are delayed at least three months in their development. A cleft palate prevents the oxygen flow between the throat and the nose, which doesn’t allow for sounds or words to be made. When a baby is born with a cleft lip and palate it is normally treated between six and 12 months of age, but because of Elsa’s situation at birth her palate was never repaired in China. When Elsa was 22 months old, a charity in China paid for her to have her lip repaired, a surgery that is usually performed at three months of age. Delayed repairs are complicated, both for the doctors and for the child, and can result in a

alphabet, what sounds the letters make and the colours. “She is a remarkable person, not just a child but a person, because her resilience is absolutely amazing,” Diane said. “You’d think coming from an orphanage environment to a brand new country . . . she had to learn about everything.” In the next few months, the family will return to the Shriners hospital in Oregon for another assessment and Elsa will likely receive surgery before she enters kindergarten in September. “You want what’s best for your child and what’s best for your child is communication,” said Diane. Diane is confident that after the next few visits to the Shriners hospital, Elsa will be speaking. “She has the world at her feet,” she beamed. Her time with the Shriners is only just beginning, but through their efforts she will be given the chance to say what’s on her mind and take on her next challenge with all the energy she gives her life.

She has some knowledge of traditional sign language and has used her six-yearold creativity to make up her own signs, like when she puts the tips of her fingers together with her palms apart to form the shape of her favourite treat, White Spot Pirate Packs.

Bad weather conditions may have caused the plane accident that claimed the life of 44-yearold Aldergrove businessman Dean Sorken and his 39-year-old brother Lee. That’s according to accident investigators looking into the Friday (June 3) crash of the older Sorken’s four-seater Mooney M-20 in a farmer’s field near Bashaw, Alberta. Dean, an experienced pilot who began flying as a teenager, had flown to Vernon to pick up his younger brother for a trip to to Killam, Alberta, to attend a family wedding. When the plane failed to arrive, a search was launched that led to the discovery of the wreckage on Saturday. The Transportation Safety Board, which is investigating the crash, said the the Mooney M-20 apparently hit the ground nose-

Vogons on board

Making progress

n The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, moments before the Earth is demolished to make way for a hyperspace express route, the alien in charge tells the outraged humans they should have known. “All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint,” says the peevish Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz of the Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council. “What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away ... I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout.” The ultra-bureaucratic Vogon doesn’t get it. And neither, it seems, do administrators at the Langley school district, who were caught off guard when Routley residents strenuously objected to the district canceling plans for a school in their neighborhood. The superintendent pointed out the Routley site has not been in the school district capital plan since 2008. The information has been on the district website for anyone who wanted to have a look. And parent were consulted, too – the minutes of a parents advisory committee meeting prove it. The problem is, many of the people who bought houses in Routley did not belong to a PAC because they didn’t have kids in school at the time. It seems they were trying to plan ahead by buying in a neighburhood where a school would be ready about the time their children would be school age. They didn’t learn the plan had changed until a sign went up announcing the site would instead be used for townhouses. There is a legitimate case to be made for a land swap that would allow the district to acquire a muchneeded school site elsewhere, but the way it was announced has overshadowed that discussion. To insist, as the district has, that proper notice was given may be technically correct. But for the parents caught unawares it probably feels like trying to reason with Vogons, creatures the Guide describes as not “actually evil, but bad-tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous...”

e’ve come a long way, baby. The huge crowds at downtown viewing sites for the Canucks’ drive to win their first Stanley Cup have been celebratory and well-behaved. No matter that they’re crammed into narrow city blocks straining to see what they can on distant big screen monitors. The surrounding municipalities have also jumped on board, multiplying the sites as the series moved to Boston for games three and four. Surrey, Burnaby, Abbotsford and Richmond all set up big screens for large gatherings of fans to soak in the vibe. It’s human nature to share the company of others at monumental occasions. Most world-class cities have some sort of easily accessible location to host huge gatherings of people. But limited space and shortsighted urban design have left Vancouver without such a venue. That absence was a contributing factor to the 1994 Stanley Cup riot, when post-game crowds ran amok downtown because they had no place to go, and the ensuing chaos left a black mark on the city’s reputation. But the lessons learned from that experience were put to good use during the 2010 Winter Olympics, when organizers created satellite gathering sites to serve the crowds seeking some Olympic buzz. It worked. A good time was had by all. The addition of suburban sites has spread the party atmosphere around the Metro Vancouver region. The lack of stories on the nightly news about trouble at these sites is testimony to how well they’ve been managed and how far the region has come since ’94. And if the home team can hold up its end of the bargain, there might be a whole lot more worth celebrating in the next few days. —The Burnaby News Leader

Absence of TransLink ‘obtuse’ blue tarps is his legacy Editor: Sometimes it’s the things that are missing from the Township of Langley that we too easily overlook —like the absence of blue tarps signalling leaky condos. Retired chief building inspector David Chesney made it his top priority to beef up the building code to go over and above the accepted requirements for a “pass” — and pretty much guarantee that leaky condos would not be built on his watch. Some builders didn’t like Chesney much. They’d call then-mayor John Scholtens and complain loudly about Chesney’s firm, but eminently practical, rules. When they admitted that it would cost an average of $75 a unit to comply, the mayor deferred to Chesney. On a tour through a leaky condo in Langley City, David showed me how the wallpaper in the lobby peeled back to reveal black mould; how the balconies sloped inward soaking the rugs and floors and making the units unlivable; how he could claw his fingers through a joist and present a handful of wet, soggy wood fibre as evidence of water infiltration; how stucco didn’t stick because it wasn’t allowed to cure between coats. Born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland, David Chesney died of cancer on May 30 at the age of 80. The service should not be more than an hour, he had requested. And it wasn’t. Just long enough for the overflow crowd to consider the family man, the man of God — and the man the taxpayers of Langley Township should thank every time they see a blue tarp covering up a multitude of sins. Driving by the former site of Township Hall on the way home from his service, it occurred to me that Barbra Streisand got it right with her song: “Give me 10 men who are stout hearted men, who will fight for the right they adore. Start me with 10 and I’ll soon find you 10,000 more... Shoulder to shoulder to shoulder and bolder and bolder, they grow as they go to the fore. Then there’s nothing in the world can stall or halt their plan. When stout-hearted men can stick together, man to man.” Bless his heart and soul. Karen Kersey Willoughby The

Editor: TransLink’s proposed designs for transit expansion in Langley and Surrey are an exercise in behind-the-scenes manipulation. Ten designs are presented, and the public is led to believe that because there are so many options to choose from TransLink must be listening. In fact, TransLink has ignored one of the main tenets that experts around the world agree is crucial to building a costeffective transit network: utilize existing infrastructure where possible. For Langley and Surrey, this means the existing Interurban rail line. The Interurban line has been the subject of extensive study. Years ago, TransLink itself studied using the corridor for a West Coast Express-style commuter rail system. That study found the corridor to be too narrow and too curvy to be feasible for that type of system. This is not at all surprising, since the Interurban line was originally intended with light rail in mind — the line was designed for small interurbans, not huge WCE trains.

Since then, the line has been well researched, with numerous studies and technical analyses (viewable at www.railforthevalley.com/studies) all concluding the same thing — that the line has the ability to provide needed light rail that is cost-effective and quick to implement. Not only would Delta and Newton be served by the line, the Interurban would also connect Surrey and SkyTrain with Cloverdale, Langley and beyond. How long must the South of Fraser wait? The Interurban is a valuable piece of the Langley transit puzzle, but the provincially controlled TransLink continues to turn a blind eye to it, even in the face of expert opinion and the support of Langley Township Mayor Green and Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts. For an organization still struggling to fund the Evergreen Line, now 20 years in the planning, and continuing to beg municipalities for more money, TransLink’s obtuseness on the Interurban is unforgivable.

Harmonized Why not show sales tax a games in park? ‘nightmare’ Editor: Thank goodness our world doesn’t have more Tom Fletchers. You know, the “sheep,” who follow merrily along believing everything they hear, especially if it comes from someone in government. Let’s get the facts straight. I own my own business and because I sell product in all of Western Canada, with each province having different tax structures, the HST has been a nightmare. The government’s propaganda that all business love the HST is utter nonsense. Worse, is how all the savings are going to be passed down to the consumer. Ya, right. But I’m sure Tom believes it.

Reflecting council will not ‘rubber stamping’ Editor: My letter published at the end of April regarding the budget process at Langley Township Council precipitated a rush of letters both for and against my position. I appreciate the concerns raised by the letter writers and the various points of view on my candidacy for mayor. I believe the democratic process is well served by encouraging debate around the important issues facing Langley Township. I am writing this letter to clarify my position on a very important matter that may have been misinterpreted. It was stated by Robert Moats that I would support the existing council and by doing so, I “will obediently take direction from the backroom” as a rubber stamp for some of the councillors. Every three years the voters go to the polls to vote for mayor and eight councillors. Some of the faces may be the same, but with the addition of a new mayor and/or councillor(s) “council” is renewed. Unlike the premier, the mayor does not have the luxury of selecting his cabinet. After November’s election there is an expectation that the mayor will work with the duly elected council. Under provincial legislation for local government, the community charter, it states as part of the mayor’s duties, he or she is to “provide leadership to council” and “reflect the will of council.” The mayor has one vote on council. After allowing for healthy debate on issues facing council a vote is called, the outcome then becomes the will of council. I believe for Langley Township to move forward and brand itself as the very best place to live and work, we need a mayor who speaks for council. This is not a “rubber stamp,” but good government.

Torch Run unites police, Event is important to athletes, says Langley competitor MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

Some of Langley’s most dedicated RCMP officers showed their support for Special Olympics BC on Tuesday, by foregoing their usual uniforms and taking to the streets in running shoes and matching black shirts for the 21st annual Law Enforcement Torch Run. With a glowing torch leading them, the officers and some of Langley’s Special Olympics athletes followed a route from The Langley RCMP Detachment

in Murrayville to Douglas Park Elementary. Special Olympics BC is an organization that provides opportunities for people with disabilities to participate and compete in sporting events. The 2011 Law Enforcement Torch Run started in Abbotsford on June 7 and will end in Delta on June 10. By that time, the torch will have passed through 20 communities across British Columbia — 14 of them in the Lower Mainland. “It’s amazing,” said Megan Grittani-Livingston, communications manager for Special Olympics BC. “It’s actually a very interesting year because there have been a lot of communities outside of the Lower Mainland joining in and doing their runs for the first time. And it’s exciting to see that

Olympics athletes and students from Douglas Park Elementary. “I really admire the community and the people involved in Special Olympics,” Grittani-Livingston said. “It’s an amazing group of people here with the athletes. They are interesting and supportive of each other and show great sportsmanship. They’re so cool and the volunteers are so dedicated. It’s impressive to see.” Since its beginning in 1990, the Law Enforcement Torch Run has raised over $3 million to support Special Olympics athletes, but Grittani-Livingston says its about far more than just dollar signs. “Fundraising is a part of the torch run for sure, but it is also about raising awareness about Special Olympics, about these leaders of the community showing their support for these special athletes and raising awareness with their presence,” she said.

Having that opportunity to meet new friends and traveling to nations and different places definitely means a lot to me.” Williams has been given the chance to try speed skating, basketball, curling, soccer, track and field, softball and many other sports and has flourished in them all. For others like him, programs put on by the Special Olympics BC have sparked enthusiasm and joy, and have brought dignity to those with disabilities. “I think it’s changed my life a lot,” Williams said. “It’s raised a lot of confidence in me to get out there and not be afraid to reach for goals that I desire.

Langley Seniors Village residents and their family members gathered outside the complex Wednesday for the official unveiling of their new memorial garden. In memory of their loved ones, the residents chose each flower to be planted in the garden and then purchased plaques with personal messages inscribed upon them. The plaques were placed in the garden, with many seniors standing up to speak. Township Mayor Rick Green, who was present at the ceremony, said he found the memorial garden very touching. “I think this is just a wonderful idea,” he said. “It’s a great idea that we can offer memories of people we love.” Janice Linnen, marketing co-ordinator, says the personal touch of the event brought the Village residents together. “The seniors have really taken ownership of the garden, these are their flowers, they want to care for them. Everyone has been really excited about it,” she said. For some, the process has been very emotional. Audrey Burm made each plaque by hand. Her father lives at Langley Seniors Village and asked her if she would be willing to make them. Burm says she was honored to do so, especially since one of the plaques is dedicated to her daughter who died three years ago. “It is emotional for me losing a child. “Of course, it was emotional doing her plaque, but knowing what death is like, I know that each and every plaque is important to everyone,” she said.

Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times

Irene Warlimont chose these flowers from Cedar Rim nursery to be planted in the memorial garden at Langley Seniors Village. She is one of many seniors who purchased flowers and plaques to represent lost loved ones. After the memorial garden presentation, there was a ceremonial butterfly release and fish feeding, followed by a luncheon, complete with champagne.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. there will be a variety of familyoriented entertainment, such as a live music and dance stage, a pet parade and soap box derby. The soap box derby will run along 271 Street, north of Fraser Highway, and the road will be closed to normal traffic for this event. Youngsters aged five to 12 will race their soap boxes in the morning, with the finals wrapping up around lunch time. This will set the stage for the running of the Crazy Wheels Cup, a competition open to all ages. Competitors will be judged on creativity, rather than speed in this contest. “We want to see how creative Aldergrove can get,” said Robinson. “There will be maximum points for style, not speed.” Entrants are required to build their own rolling devices, with the only proviso being that the vehicle has at least three wheels, steering and brakes, and a 200-lb unloaded weight limit. For information on this event, call Robinson at 604-3511175. For information on the soap box derby call Kenny at 778-772-7417. The pet parade is hosted by Royal Paw Palace and their number for information is 604-607-3888. There will be other activities during the day at downtown Aldergrove merchants, including a free barbecue at Aldergrove Credit Union.

public notice Tips to Save Water This Summer During the summer, lawn watering and other recreational uses can account for 50 per cent of home water use. As a general rule, watering your lawn â&#x20AC;&#x153;one inch one hourâ&#x20AC;? per week is an adequate amount of time to keep your lawns healthy. If using a running hose to wash your car you can be wasting up to 400 litres of water. However, by using a bucket and a sponge with a trigger nozzle on the hose you can save 300 litres of that water. These nozzles are included in our outdoor water saving kit for $15, available at any recreation centre. Use sprinklers that produce large fat droplets of water. Sprinklers that ďŹ nely spray water into the air quickly evaporate. Set sprinklers to water only your lawn. Omit any driveway/sidewalk watering. Instead of using a hose to clean the sidewalk, use a broom. Spreading a layer of organic mulch around your plants helps the soil retain moisture during the dry months. If water runs off your lawn easily, split your watering time into shorter periods to allow for better absorption. Adjust lawn mower to a higher setting. A taller lawn shades roots and holds soil moisture better than if coarsely clipped. Rain barrels are an ideal tool for watering the garden and reducing pressure on our water systems during summer months. These barrels hold 190 litres of water and include one overďŹ&#x201A;ow hose and one on/ off tap. They can be picked up for $35 each at the Operations Centre. Limit one rain barrel per Township household, residential use only. Engineering Division 604.532.7300 enginfo@tol.ca

Reaching back to move forward ...

uring his 40-year career as a residential mortgage broker, Nick Douce, a fixture on the Arab show circuit, has seen his share of dreamers. Many of them think they can leave the city and live off the land, boarding or breeding horses on a picturesque acreage in the Horse Capital of B.C. While Nick, owner of the Paragon Mortgage Group, has built a booming business as a go-to guy who can make real estate deals happen, he is also proud of the ones heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talked people out of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always try to give people good advice before they buy. I live with and work with both sides of the horse business and, as much as I love horses, I believe it is a sunset industry,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to tell people who want to buy a horse property and develop a horse business it is not a hobby, that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lifestyle that takes a lot of money and a lot of hard, physical work.â&#x20AC;? The first concept would-be horse property buyers should absorb is a simple phrase: â&#x20AC;&#x153;a house and five acres.â&#x20AC;? Nick explains that lenders will only approve loans based on the appraised value of a house and five acres. Even if a horse property is a screaming deal, with 10 rolling acres and a gorgeous barn and indoor arena, lenders donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care. As far as the bean counters at

Stanley Cup dreams begin in summer Pro Lower Mainland hockey players using Langley gym for off-season training programs GARY AHUJA Times Reporter

Every professional hockey player dreams about playing in June. If you are still playing hockey into this month, that means you are playing for hockey’s holy grail, the Stanley Cup. But while a typical hockey season begins with training camp in September, the work for the upcoming season begins well before that with a player’s off-season conditioning program. “As a player, you always hear about how in the old days, you went to training camp to get into shape,” said Matt Keith. But that is definitely not the case anymore. “You can’t afford to not show up in shape,” added Brandon Segal. Segal, a North Delta native who turns 28 next month, has been in the pro game since 2003 and suited up in 92 NHL games with Tampa Bay, Los Angeles and Dallas. It is with the Stars he has had the bulk of his NHL time, scoring 10 goals and 20 points in 65 games over the past two seasons. “The NHL season is such a grind; the offseason training program is huge,” Segal said. “That is what has really gotten me into the best shape of my life. “Just doing the little things to make sure you are ready to go.” “When you get into games, 40, 50, 60, that is what you are doing this (off-season) training for,” Keith said. The 28-year-old Keith, who grew up in Aldergrove is coming off his eighth pro season. Last year, he played in the American Hockey League with the Abbotsford Heat, leading the team in goals (20) and points (35). Keith has played in 27 NHL games, the majority of those with the Chicago Blackhawks, scoring two goals and three assists. Both players train at Revolution Martial Arts and Fitness in Langley. The players are there under the guidance of Mike Thompson and Tyler Jackson, who have teamed up to form TnT Hockey Performance Training, a spring/summer conditioning camp.

Brandon Segal (left) and Matt Keith work out at Revolution Martial Arts and Fitness in Langley. The pair, who both play pro hockey for a living, are part of the new TnT Hockey Performance Training, a spring/summer conditioning camp run by Mike Thompson and Tyler Jackson. The camp is designed for hockey players of all levels, be it pro, collegiate, junior or minor. “Our goal is to get guys in the best possible shape when they hit the ice,” Jackson said. “He focuses on the on ice and I do the off-ice stuff. This just made sense.” Thompson is a long-time on-ice trainer while Jackson, a mixed martial arts fighter with the Revolution Fight Team, is a personal trainer. The pair had discussed joining forces for a while, with each party offering a different skill set. Thompson has plenty of hockey connections — the Blackhawks’ Duncan Keith, a Norris Trophy, Stanley Cup and Olympic gold medalist, credits Thompson for helping him make the transition from junior hockey to the pro ranks. As for Jackson, Thompson said the train-

er’s “attention to detail is second to none.” “It was just the perfect mix for us,” he added. The camp is split into three phases, each one lasting six weeks. The first phase is general adaptation, where the participants focus on improving their body composition, increasing their strength, endurance and flexibility, and working on decreasing the likelihood of future injury. Phase two is concentrated on strength, power and performance, and the final phase deals with those three elements, as well as performance. In addition to the gym work, the players hit the ice at Sportsplex and also work on their cardio by running the track at McLeod Athletic Park.

The program is open to bantam, midget, junior and pro players. With competition so fierce to make it to the NHL, the players know just how important the off-season is, especially in the salary cap era where organizations must adhere to a budget. “You can’t afford to not show up in shape, teams can’t afford to make mistakes,” Segal said. “If you show up not in great shape, you look like an idiot.” “My work ethic is I want to be the best I can,” he added. “I pride myself on that.” While competition may be fierce on the ice, the players enjoy the camaraderie of their workouts. “It is a good group of guys,” Keith said. “Everyone is going after the same thing and it pushes you to get better.”

Furlong’s leadership honoured with award John Furlong was recognized for his leadership and contribution to the economic development in B.C. Furlong, the chief executive officer of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, was presented with the Economic Development Association of B.C.’s President Award. He received the award on Monday at the Coast Hotel and Convention Centre, site of the EDABC’s conference in Langley from June 5-7. “I am honoured to receive this award,” Furlong said. “I was fortunate to be a leader of a project that had such an enormous capacity to make an Kevin impact. “But I didn’t do it alone; I also need to acknowledge our team of 55,000 people who all made heroic contributions to bring us this success.” Furlong added that the most important thing he learned is that the leader of any enterprise must create a vision that unites the entire team. The Games were responsible for bringing more economic development to the province than any individual community

could have ever done, said EDABC president Kevin Poole. “His contributions have gone far beyond just hosting a successful sporting event,” Poole said. “As leader of this once in a lifetime event, John Furlong was able to put the spotlight on British Columbia, attracting world-wide attention and countless economic development opportunities.” Poole added that the exposure — media coverage across the world, gaining 3.8 billion television viewers and 275 million hits to www. vancouver2010.com — is “marketing that simply cannot be bought.” Poole The Games have edabc president also impacted local communities by creating 45,500 jobs, $2.3 billion in Real Domestic Product and $463 million in tourism spending. “Mr.Furlong truly embodies what it takes to become a successful economic development leader,” Poole said. “He recognizes that you can’t do it alone; you need to engage and inspire your team, stakeholders, and community members to help you reach for success.”

‘Monster shot’ caught Brewers scouts’ attention GARY AHUJA Times Sports

While cell phones in class are not permitted,Tuesday was a special circumstance. “I had warned my teacher ahead of time that I might be getting a call and he told me to go ahead and take it if it came,” explained Dustin Houle. The teacher realized this was not an ordinary phone call. Houle was sitting in English class at Brookswood Secondary when his phone rang shortly after noon. On the other end was Houle’s advisor calling with the great news that the 17-yearold had been taken in the eighth round, 251st overall, by the Milwaukee Brewers. “I was shocked to go that high,” Houle admitted, figuring he would go between the tenth and 15th rounds of the 50-round draft for all high school, college and university players in North America. “But over the past month, I have been tearing it up.” “I am just really excited right now; it is a surreal moment.” Houle, a third-baseman/catcher, spent most of May in the Dominican Republic

with Canada’s junior national team. Upon returning a few weeks ago, the Brewers invited him to a pre-draft workout just last week (June 3). And Houle made a very lasting impression. Already on the organization’s radar — Milwaukee has chosen six players from the Blaze program since 2004 — Houle belted a 420-foot home run to the stadium’s Harley Davidson deck. Following that monster shot, he said one of the team’s scouts began calling him the ‘Canadian King Kong.’ “This kid is a strong kid, and he’s got a good arm,” Brewers amateur scouting director Bruce Seid said on the team’s website. “I’m happy to get him, really happy to get him, and we’ll look to sign him for sure.” Seid added there is no denying Houle’s power at the plate. While mostly playing third base, Houle has spent some time as catcher, and that is where the Brewers envision placing him. After talking to his advisor, who will soon become his agent, Houle called him mom back in Penticton, and he said she got pretty emotional over his accomplishments. Houle left home last year to join the

Blaze, knowing it would open more doors and opportunities for his baseball career. “I just owe a lot of credit to coach Doug (Mathieson) and coach Jamie (Bodaly) for all the support and good coaching along the way,” Houle said. “I appreciate them a lot for everything they have done.” Bodaly says Houle is arguably one of the best hitters in the country. Houle will remain in the Blaze line-up for the time being. Through 19 games, Houle is hitting .304 with a team-high 15 RBIs. He is also tied for the Blaze lead with seven extra-base hits, including a triple and home run. He is also just two RBIs behind the Premier Baseball League lead, despite playing three less games and having 16 less at-bats. Last season, he batted .289 with 19 RBIs over a full season in Langley. According to MLB rules, he cannot sign a pro contract until after graduating. He admits he is leaning towards signing, which would mean his pro career would start this summer in rookie ball in Arizona. Should Houle choose not to sign, he does have a scholarship to Florida’s Chipola College.

COURTS UNDERSTAND CHRONIC PAIN With greater understanding of chronic pain, it’s not uncommon for courts in BC to grant damages of over $100,000 to injured plaintiffs suffering chronic pain. This includes compensation for pain and suffering as well as past and future income loss. Damages just for the chronic pain component tend to range between $35,000 and $125,000. Chronic pain is pain that lasts beyond the normal healing time for the injury and can’t be proved by objective medical findings. For example, in a typical whiplash involving small tears within the muscles and ligaments around the neck, the pain is usually better after a few weeks and gone within several months. But in about 10% of cases, the injured victim develops a chronic pain syndrome. Although there may no longer be a physical cause, the pain they suffer and their resulting disability is very real. Coping with this can be very difficult and, understandably, often leads to depression. A crucial factor in compensating chronic pain is the credibility of the plaintiff. Their testimony, if accepted as true and reliable by the judge, is often the most persuasive “proof” of their claim. Consider the case of Mr. S, decided by the BC Supreme Court in early 2010. Mr. S, 55, was an energetic hardwood floor installer. Hurt in a rear-end crash, he suffered a mild to moderate soft tissue injury to the left side of his neck and shoulder. Four years later, he still experienced neck pain, although it was much less intense than before. He continued to work, but his jobs took longer. He couldn’t swim or canoe anymore, but he still hunted and hiked occasionally, although for much shorter periods of time. The judge referred to an earlier BC Court of Appeal case. This case confirmed that courts must be careful compensating an injured person when there is little or no objective evidence of the pain and the complaints continue longer than expected. But the case also reiterated that the plaintiff’s own

evidence, “if consistent with the surrounding circumstances” is sufficient proof. In Mr. S’s case, the judge described him as a “stoic and determined person,” who tried to remain physically active despite his continuing pain. The judge accepted his evidence of his problems and awarded him total damages of $156,820, including $75,000 for his pain and suffering. The evidence of doctors and other medical specialists often helps to substantiate the plaintiff’s claim of chronic pain. For example, in another recent case, all the specialists who examined Ms. R had a “guarded prognosis for her complete recovery” from her soft-tissue injuries “despite her tremendous efforts to rehabilitate herself.” A 26-year-old graphic designer, Ms. R was rear-ended in two accidents and ended up suffering chronic neck and back pain, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Before the accidents, she was a fun-loving active woman. After, she couldn’t sit comfortably for long periods and gave up activities she loved like horseback riding. Her relationship with her common-law husband was also affected. “There is no doubt that Ms. [R] has been in pain almost continuously since the accidents,” said the judge. “Neither her family physician nor the many specialists she has seen have found any exaggerated or non-organic symptoms. She is clearly not a malingerer.” Ms. R was awarded over $360,000 in total damages, including $95,000 for her pain and suffering. Chronic pain cases require a careful and thorough assessment to make a solid legal claim. Seek legal advice if you are hurt in an accident.

Robson joining his idols GARY AHUJA Times Sports

With the Price is Right on TV and Major League Baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft streaming in the internet, the Toronto Blue Jays called on Tom Robson. The Jays selected the ace of the Langley Blaze pitching staff on Tuesday morning in the fourth round of the three-day 50-round draft for North American high school, college and university baseball players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was kind of shocked when it happened,â&#x20AC;? explained the six-foot-four 210pound right-handed pitcher, who was the top-ranked Canadian in the draft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But now that I have realized they have picked me and I have a chance to play for them, I am really excited.â&#x20AC;? He was picked 139th overall by the team he grew up idolizing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Growing up, the Jays were always my favourite team; I

Roy Halladay used to be his favourite player on the team, but since he was traded it is another Jaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pitcher, Ricky Romano, whom he likes.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Romero) is really competitive, has a good three-pitch mix and is mean out there,â&#x20AC;? Robson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is what I like to see in a pitcher.â&#x20AC;? As soon as he heard his name called on

the internet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he was attempting to focus on the schoolwork he missed last month while spending a few weeks in the Dominican Republic with Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior national team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Robson immediately began jumping up and down with his friends. He had a small party at his Ladner home on Tuesday night to celebrate. Shortly after the draft, Robson spoke with Toronto general manager Alex Anthopoulos and other members of the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want to see me in a Jays uniform as soon as they can,â&#x20AC;? Robson said. In very limited action with the Blaze, Robson is 2-2 with an 0.89 earned run average. He has allowed just five runs, three of them earned, in 23.2 innings. He has also struck out 42 batters. Robson figured he would go between

! u o y k n Tha

rounds two and five. Getting drafted has been a goal since Grade 9 when a scout told his parents that Robson had the talent to make it to the big leagues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as I heard that, I stuck with it and worked my hardest, and it paid off,â&#x20AC;? he said. Robson, who turns 18 later this month, still has two final exams left to right and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sign with the Jays until after he graduates. Should he fail to come to terms with the team before August 15, he could attend Central Arizona College on scholarship. The Jays also selected Robsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blaze teammate, shortstop Justin Atkinson in the 26th round. Atkinson leads the B.C. PBL in batting average, hitting .438 with 13 RBIs in 21 games.

Rams DB sticks at camp

Langley Rams defensive back Jordan Linnen, who was invited to the B.C. Lions rookie camp in Kamloops last month, has impressed the team enough to stick around. At the three-day rookie camp, Linnen, earned a spot at main camp — also held in Kamloops — this week.He’s listed as a non-counting junior player, meaning that he is not property of the Canadian Football League team but is territorially protected.

“(Lions head coach) Wally Buono has made it clear in the past that there are no tourists and no one is ever invited to main camp as a gesture of goodwill,” Rams media director Chris Swartz said. “If you’re at camp, it’s because you earned it.” Linnen is listed as third on the depth chart at the left-side cornerback spot, behind 11-year vet Davis Sanchez and second-year player Hamid Mahmoudi.

David Malamura potted two goals and Rhys Volkenant added another as Langley Athletic FC remained perfect on the season with a 3-1 perfect. The U20 men’s soccer team was hosting Surrey’s Revolution Football Club on Sunday at McLeod Park in a first-place showdown in the Super-20 League’s Northwest Division. With the win, Langley improved to 3-0 and they have outscored their foes 16-1. They host Victoria Highlanders FC on Saturday at McLeod Park with a 5 p.m. kickoff time.They also have a road game on Sunday against Snohomish United.

With the North American roller hockey championships in Florida next month, 45 teams were at the Walnut Grove Sportsplex for the regional championships. The teams were playing to determine their seedings for the championships in Florida, as their results at regionals would place them in certain categories: either platinum, gold or silver. In the peewee (14 and under) final, it was the home side Westcoast Warriors 96

who went a perfect 6-0 and capped off the tourney with a convincing 8-1 win over the Warriors Outcasts. The bantam (16 and under) final saw the Westcoast Warriors double up the North Shore Zulu 4-2. The local Warriors Outcasts squad also prevailed in the squirt (12 and under) division, as they used solid puck possession to set up a quick strike offence in a 6-0 win over the North Shore Zulu-Warriors.

In the 10 and under mite division, Zulu scored a convincing 10-2 win over the Westcoast Warriors 2000, while in an all-Langley B final, WC Warriors Grey knocked off the WC Warriors Frisk 8-2. In midget (18 and under) action, the Langley Raiders scored twice in the final minutes to edge North Vancouver’s Team Sauce 4-3. And in the senior (18+) division, the Panthers (Victoria) won 4-1 over the Wolfpack.

First race for Sir Sterling Moss as he competes in Le Mans Legends A highlight of this year’s Le Mans Legend, the historic support race at the Le Mans 24 Hours, will be Sir Stirling Moss’s ﬁrst race at the wheel of his own 1961 Porsche RS 61. The 61 cars in the 2011 Le Mans Legend will take to the track at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 11, shortly before the start of the Le Mans 24 Hours. For more details of the race, see www.motorracinglegends. com or, for more details on Sir Stirling’s car, see www. stirlingmoss.com Sir Stirling bought the car back in March 2010 and entered it at Laguna Seca last August only for the gearbox to seize on the warm-up lap. The Le Mans Legend is a regular ﬁxture at the world’s greatest endurance race. It is a

historic support race featuring Le Mans-type cars – many of them with genuine Le Mans history – from a selected era of the race’s history. For 2011, the chosen era is 1949-65, and the race has become so popular with entrants, as well as the hundreds of thousands of spectators who ﬂock to Le Mans, that the 61 places on the grid were snapped up soon after entries opened – with a bulging reserves list, too. To ensure battles for victory right the way through the ﬁeld, the entries are split into classes, and Sir Stirling, sharing the 45-minute race with co-driver Ian Nuthall, is in the class for sports-racing cars from 1959-65, with engines of no more than 2.0 litres.

Providing you expert advice, friendly service, and quality workmanship since 1983. We look forward to serving you.
