Bear cub shot and killed by police Langley officer had no choice, witness says DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
The RCMP officer who shot and killed a black bear cub in a Langley neighbourhood
Tuesday morning did not want to do it, an eyewitness said. “I don’t want to use this,” the shotguntoting officer told resident Angie Bilous. “It’s for my protection.” But a few minutes later, the bear started moving toward the officer and he was forced to fire two shots, killing the cub. The bear had been roaming through front and back yards in the area of 196B Street
AMORE & BACI

and 72 Avenue for just over an hour. Bilous said her 10-year-old son Boston was playing street hockey in a cul-de-sac with some friends around 10 a.m. when the players saw the bear. Boston ran home to tell his family, who watched the bear from inside their home as it crossed the street in front of them and jumped a fence. “It was just kind of walking along,” Bilous
said. Another resident, Paul Phibbs, saw the bear walk along the top of a fence like a cat. “It looked like it was looking for food,” Phibbs said. “It was just ambling along.” The bear reportedly helped itself to some food from a neighbour’s outdoor table.

The lure of
Lawrie
Councillor proud of extensive community involvement After consulting his family and realizing the value of his good health, Charlie Fox has decided to run for a seat on Township council. But the two-time incumbent councillor will not run for mayor, as some had speculated. He said he had served “with pride and a strong sense of accomplishment” during those two terms. He said that council is where he feels most comfortable and where he can make the greatest difference. “Living, working and volunteering in the Langley community for 38 years has given me an appreciation and understanding of what a great community we live in,” Fox said. A Rotarian for 30 years, Fox is chairman of the board of the Transplant Research Foundation of B.C., and board vice-chairman of Aldergrove Charlie Neighbourhood Services, Fox past president of Langley Little League and past president of Aldergrove Minor Hockey. A parishioner at St. Dunstan’s Anglican Church, Fox is the recipient of several local awards that acknowledge his community work. He said he is proud of the accomplishments made by the councils of the last two terms, saying that he “proudly ran for two consecutive terms on a platform of public safety and, as a result, Langley is a safer place. continued, PAGE 12

Playing close to home for the first time since being called up to the Toronto Blue Jays, Langley’s Brett Lawrie has been drawing thousands of local fans to Safeco Field in Seattle this week.
Canadians flocking en masse to Seattle to watch Langley product play ball Brett Lawrie’s early games with the Toronto Blue Jays are helping benefit the Seattle Mariners at the box office. The Blue Jays and Mariners played a three-game series from Monday to Wednesday in Seattle. Many Langley residents made the trek to Safeco Field to see Lawrie, the 21-year-old Langley sensation, play. And he didn’t disappoint. In the first two games, the former Langley Blaze player had four hits, two RBIs and scored three runs. One hit on Tuesday in the first inning brought in a run and helped the Blue Jays
get off to a 6-0 start before the Mariners had even stepped up to the plate. They won that game 13-7. On Monday, he hit a home run. The Blue Jays had been ahead in that game, but eventually lost 6-5. Lawrie’s parents, grandfather, other relatives, former teammates and many friends made the trip south to see him. Attendance at Monday’s game, which is traditionally one of the quietest days at the gate each week, was more than 28,000. This was more than double the number of fans who saw the Blue Jays
when they visited Seattle earlier this season. Seattle players complained that there seemed to be more fans cheering for Toronto than the home team, after the first game. Lawrie hit .500 in his first two games in Seattle. In his first 11 games as a Blue Jay, he had seven runs, 15 hits (including three doubles and three home runs) and nine RBIs. His batting average was .385 and his on-base percentage was .429. The Blue Jays will not be back in Seattle until next season.
Strangers’ kindness a comfort to grieving daughter NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
To lose a loved one suddenly is heartbreaking. To know that in their final moments they were surrounded by strangers who cared is comforting to the ones left behind. That knowledge eases the pain for Susan Gagnon whose father died on Monday evening only steps away from the front door of his Langley City apartment at 56 Avenue and 201A Street.
Gagnon had phoned her father, Harold Lemke, several times that day, beginning at mid morning. It was unusual for him not to return messages, so shortly after 7 p.m. she called the landlord, asking him to check on her father’s suite. Half an hour later, the landlord called. The news was bad. His suite was empty, but he had fallen on the sidewalk. The ambulance was on its way. But he was not alone. A group of passersby had rushed to his aid and,
in a description of the scene relayed to Gagnon by a B.C. Ambulance paramedic, one of them, a man of about 19, had removed his jacket, rolled it into a pillow and tucked it gently under the stricken man’s head. Then the young man held the head of the unconscious man to prevent possible damage to the neck and spine. “There was an overwhelming number of people who were there making him comfortable,” Gagnon said. “In his last moments people were
surrounding him with kindness and compassion.” Lemke did not survive, and whether he died after he tripped and fell or had a fainting spell, is unknown. A CT scan showed that Lemke, who was over six feet tall, had suffered a serious injury to the back of his head, and had bleeding on the brain. Gagnon is grateful to the strangers who comforted her father, and expresses her thanks in a letter to the editor on Page 7.

1998 All-Stars coach can’t resist Williamsport MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter
Going to the Little League World Series in 1998 was so much fun, past All-Stars coach Dave Mihalech is going to go again. The coach of the Langley All-Stars team that represented Canada in Williamsport 13 years ago is making a surprise visit to Pennsylvania to cheer on the 2011 team. “My wife and I are on an RV trip across Canada right now, and once we heard what happened to the All-Stars, we were so excited we decided we have to make a detour,� Mihalech said. The Langley All-Stars won the Canadian Little League Championship, 11-0 against Valleyfield, Que., in the final held on Aug. 13. They are now down in Williamsport Pa., playing for Canada in the Little League Baseball World Series. This is the second time a
Langley team has made it this far − the first was in 1998. Reminiscing about the All-Stars journey 13 years ago, Mihalech says the boys will have to work hard to keep their excitement under control and their concentration up. “The most challenging part is staying focused,� he said. “They will be worshiped while they are there.� Not only are the teammates given new jackets, uniforms and bats, but they also have private pools to swim in and adoring fans everywhere. Mihalech says he will never forget the line-up of 11, 12 and 13-year-old girls along the fence, all wanting attention and autographs from the boys. “They won’t realize what they’re going through until several years later. It really is a surreal experience,� he said.
Like the 1998 team, the 2011 All-Stars are very well-balanced, hard working and good defensively. Mihalech believes they have a very good chance of making it far in the Series. “They have to keep in mind every team is just as excited as they are. Yes, you may be nervous, but so is everyone else. I like to think the playing level is even,� he said. Another factor the team has going for them is a low amount of travel fatigue. In 1998 the All-Stars went to Williamsport after already being on the road for a month. This year, because the Canadian championships were held in North Vancouver, the boys won’t have nearly as much fatigue. “The best thing for them to do is not be afraid,� he said. “Just play their game and don’t be intimidated by anyone, and they
seem to be focused.� One of the neatest experiences for Mihalech in 1998 was the last night they were there. The team had just lost in a heartbreaker to Japan, and were set to fly back to Canada the next morning. Mihalech went into the pool where the boys were and found them swimming with the Japanese team. “They were having fun and still full of excitement,� he said. “They weren’t upset about it, it just amazes me.� That same night he also snuck down the the field and stole some dirt to give to the boys. He says they were so excited about it, they hardly slept. “I still look back at the 1998 days as some of the most exciting days of my coaching career,� he said. The All-Stars first game is Friday, Aug. 19 against Saudi Arabia. Best Buy - CORRECTION NOTICE

Willoughby resident Paul Phibbs took these picture of a young black bear in his neighbourhood on Tuesday morning, shortly before the animal charged an RCMP officer who was forced to shoot it. submitted photos
Shouting may have provoked bear from PAGE 1
It wasn’t a big bear, Phibbs said, no more than 30 inches tall on all fours and a bit over five feet when it stood up on its hind legs to climb a fence. Phibbs said the bear created pandemonium in the neighbourhood, with kids screaming and parents yelling to get them back inside. When the officer with the shotgun arrived, he shouted at onlookers to get inside for their own safety. Langley RCMP Sgt. Don Davidson said that may have provoked the bear. “The bear may have taken that [the shouting by the officer] as aggressive,” Davidson said. Around 11 a.m. the bear headed straight for the officer, who fired two shots. “He [the officer] had no choice,” Angie Bilous said. The bear appeared to be picking up speed as it headed toward the officer, she added.
The wounded bear made a disturbing whining noise after it was shot, Bilous said. The black bear was a one to oneand-a-half year old male, according to an RCMP press release. First reports of a bear wandering through residential neighborhoods in Langley came in Friday. Police issued a public warning on the weekend. It was the second killing of a bear in Lower Mainland residential areas within a week. Last week, a mother bear was shot and killed in Anmore, orphaning three cubs who are now being cared for by Critter Care Wildlife Society in South Langley. Langley RCMP issued a written reminder to the public to be aware of wildlife in their area and to try and secure garbage, barbecues and compost material. If a bear is in a yard or street, residents are asked to call the Provincial Wildlife Service at 1-800-663-9453.

Coleman’s challenge
Swift justice
O
E
nergy Minister Rich Coleman has a new challenge, and that’s something he loves to take on. This time it’s BC Hydro, which has seemingly grown in size and cost with barely a glance from the BC Liberal government, which is charged with overseeing the Crown corporation. Hydro is owned by taxpayers. It is the result of the takeover of the private B.C. Electric Company in 1961, and was likely the greatest achievement of Premier W.A.C. Bennett’s 20 years in power. Hydro is the engine of growth for the B.C. economy. In its early days, it powered numerous sawmills, pulp mills and other industrial establishments, and also served a growing export market. However, in the last 25 years, Hydro has done little in the way of building. Most of its work has been in the nature of retrofits and upgrades to existing dams and generating facilities. The B.C. economy has changed dramatically in that time. Large industrial users are no longer the dominant force they once were. Hydro serves a wide range of customers, from large and small businesses to an ever-increasing number of residential customers. Under former premier Gordon Campbell, the government initially tried to break up Hydro, by separating the distribution and generating arms. While they have been rejoined, another aspect of government policy was to keep Hydro away from small run-ofriver hydro projects, but commit it to buy their output at rates much higher than the electricity it produced itself. Hydro has proposed a 32 per cent rate increase, something that appalled new Premier Christy Clark. On appointing Coleman (the Mr. Fix-it of government) to the energy post, she asked him to review that plan. He appointed a committee of three deputy ministers, and last week they came out with a report that recommends cutting the rate increase in half and reducing Hydro’s work force. Coleman will be looking over the report. He needs to recommend to cabinet a sound energy policy which will keep rates under control and keep lowcost and clean power key to B.C.’s economic development.

nly days after four nights of rioting, mayhem and looting in London and other British cities, more than 700 charges have been laid. Some of the troublemakers are already in jail, having been tried and sentenced in courts that are sitting day and night to process the nicked rioters. Two months after Vancouver’s riot, not a single charge has been laid. Even those remorseful rioters who turned themselves in have yet to face legal consequences. The thugs and vandals who wreaked havoc through the downtown, setting vehicles ablaze, kicking in store windows and stealing items must be wondering if they got away with it. British authorities are crediting the overwhelming visual evidence of perpetrators from security cameras and photos posted online for their ability to move swiftly against the rioters. They used sophisticated facial-recognition software from Scotland Yard to match images of rioters and looters with mug shots in their database. There’s no shortage of similar visual evidence of Vancouver’s rioters. In fact, police say there’s so much of it, they’re overwhelmed. To the point of paralysis, it seems. The British legal system allows police to lay charges directly, while in B.C. police gather evidence which they must then present to Crown counsel to make charges. That additional layer of bureaucracy is frustrating when violence and mayhem occur on a large scale. With years of experience dealing with social unrest and soccer hooliganism, the British system is also better equipped to deal with major events. In Canada the notion of the courts running 24 hours a day induces fiscal whining in a legal system already hamstrung by inadequate budgets. All the political fingerpointing in the wake of the Stanley Cup riot will be for naught if the perpetrators never face the consequences of their actions. —Burnaby News Leader The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Changing plans in mid-stream Editor: I find Make Harvey’s letter (The Times, Aug. 11) to be somewhat inaccurate. The Township did send out a letter to those who make equal payments to prepay their taxes, informing them that the current program, which was to make 11 (not 12) withdrawals during the year, was ending. It was being replaced later this year with a 10 equal payment program. I, too, found the letter confusing and phoned the municipal hall. They explained that with the new program
coming in, the current program was being cancelled after the ninth withdrawal, and that I had until July 1 to make up the missing two payments. Apparently it has to do with showing the amount prepaid on the tax bill. As the notices are prepared long before the tax payment deadline, they were switching to a 10-month plan so that the prepaid tax amount would be correct on the tax notice. Then I had to fill in their form to enroll in the new plan. This had nothing to do with the Home Owner Grant application which is on
the tax notice. It has to be completed in order to get the grant, as has been the case for years. I have no problem with the Township wanting to change their system. I do have a problem with them making the change in the middle of the year, for their convenience, leaving those in the program hung out to dry. Why couldn’t the Township change the plan as of July 1, instead of making it inconvenient and confusing for those affected taxpayers? R.B. Long, Langley
Aldergrove has received some attention Editor: I wanted to write and say ‘thank you’ to Charlie Fox for his effort in trying to be transparent regarding where taxpayers’ monies have gone in Aldergrove. I thought the letter started off very well, by outlining a number of initiatives that have been either started, completed or approved for our small community. I think it was admirable of him to take the ball and run with it. Unfortunately, the letter slowly turned to blind siding the current mayor of Langley Township. As Fox so eloquently noted, Mayor Rick Green has voted against three financial plans (to date), “in which these projects were
embedded.” The key word here is ‘embedded.’ This can only mean that there were other issues and items embedded in the financial plans which the current mayor felt were not acceptable, and therefore he could not vote for or accept the financial plans as they were presented. This is like asking the taxpayer these questions on a ballot: Do you want fresh drinking water? Do you approve a property tax increase of 10 per cent to have fresh drinking water? Do you approve a property tax increase of
10 per cent? Aside from that, I do want to thank Fox for bringing forward the positive things that have taken place in Aldergrove. Not all of them are obvious, and it is nice to know that some of our tax dollars are in fact benefiting our small community. Debbie Atkinson, Aldergrove Editor’s note — Portions of the letter from Councillor Fox, which was originally published by the Aldergrove Star, are reprinted below. The entire letter can be seen on The Times website.
Township has spent a great deal in Aldergrove Editor: In the recent past, letter writer Debbie Atkinson has been vocal about the fact she feels Aldergrove has been left out and not given due consideration by recent councils. As someone who has dedicated the majority of my professional career and a lifetime of volunteer time in the Aldergrove area, and an elected council member, I feel it is time to let the people of Aldergrove know exactly what projects and initiatives have actually been dedicated to your community. The Township does not own Aldergrove Lake Park and has absolutely no jurisdiction over its management, operation or infrastructure upgrades. Councillor Mel Kositsky is on the Metro Vancouver parks committee and
as such he will be involved in reviewing the input from the recently-held input session and preparing the report to come forward to the Metro Vancouver directors. Any thoughts or questions must be directed his way. Here is a breakdown of recent Township spending in Aldergrove: 1. Infrastructure upgrades. From 2005 to 2010, council voted to devote $32.8 million to capital infrastructure upgrades focused on sewer. Further, council began the discussion and decision-making regarding moving water in to the community — a $48.3 million commitment. This term we made the decision regarding three line alignment options. This totals over $80 million dedicated to upgrade
the infrastructure to secure a long-term sustainability plan for both sewer and water for many years to come in Aldergrove. These are not glitzy, glamorous or visible projects, but they are critically important for Aldergrove. 2. This term, the Township has overseen the completion of the Aldergrove Athletic Park with ccompletion of the bike park, completion of the batting cage for our baseball players, completion of a community garden and a commitment to complete a $1.8 million allweather turf athletic field. 3. Council reinstituted hanging baskets and supported Aldergrove Business Association. Councillor Charlie Fox, Langley Township
Ellens property was key part of pioneer Willoughby Editor: A few days ago, a house on the west side of 208 Street (Alexander Road), just south of Willoughby School, was demolished.This was known as the Ellens house. John Ellens was from Holland. He was born in Friesland province and was trained in horticulture. He came to Canada in 1929. He and his wife (Kathleen Straw) married in 1937 and built the house in 1939. Mrs. Ellens was a school teacher at West Langley Elementary. Mr. Ellens operated a landscaping business. He had a bulb and nursery operation on the property and did garden The
work throughout Langley.He was responsible for the development of the grounds at Fort Langley National Historic Site in 1957-58. On his property, he had a large fruit orchard of pioneer varieties of apples,pear, plums and cherries, and he kept bee hives. He also had weather observation instruments in the orchard, where he made daily recordings. Of course, all the fruit trees and other trees on the property will be chopped down because Willoughby desperately needs to pave this area for a parking lot for the new
“Village Centre.” After all, Willoughby needs its own pizza place, coffee shop, hamburger restaurants, sandwich shops,Chinese restaurants, dollar stores and other shops. These all exist either in Walnut Grove or down the hill in the Walmart/London Drugs area. I understand that a search is on for a name for the new “Main Street” that will be in the village. I should think the answer is obvious — “Ellens.” Brian Johnson, Willoughby
CARING STRANGERS Editor: This message is for a group of people who I have never met, and probably never will. On Monday evening (Aug. 15), sometime between 7 and 8 p.m., at the corner of 201A Street and 56 Avenue, my Dad fell and hit his head. A group of total strangers rushed to his aid and tried to make him as comfortable as possible until paramedics arrived. My father did not make it through the night, due to the severe head injury he received as a result of the fall. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to these strangers. They proved there are good people in the world, when lately we’ve heard so much of the opposite. I will always be grateful to you. Susan Gagnon, Aldergrove
WE NEVER LEARN Editor: George Bernard Shaw had it right when he said “We learn from experience that men never learn anything from experience.”We have recently seen crazy political brinkmanship in Washington, surrounding the gravity-defying U.S. debt ceiling.Then there were economic uncertainties and credit rating downgrades in the U.S. and Europe, causing wild swings in all stock markets. England shocked the world with several days and nights of mindless riots by mainly disaffected youngsters.There is terrible famine in the Horn Of Africa, and ongoing religious and political strife in places like Libya, Syria and Afghanistan. One bright spot is when Elections BC revealed that more than 1.6 million ballots were mailed in during the HST referendum. It was a decidedly higher number than Christy Clark’s government expected. Yet this exercise in direct democracy has achieved something that has been utterly unattainable for the last two years. It has the pro-HST and anti-HST sides saying exactly the same thing. Both are claiming that the 52 per cent turnout means their side will win. Stay tuned for the final count at the end of August. Bernie Smith, Parksville

Bus tour of developments proceeds without council blessing NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
There are residential developments in Langley which attract attention for all the right reasons, and others that are featureless. The ones that stand out in a positive way are those with elements that respect the environment, offer sufficient green space and play areas for children, have ease of access for emergency vehicles, and conceal garbage bins appropriately. Then there are others which simply don’t fit the bill. As Langley’s greenfield development grows, it’s imperative that the Township learn from those that demonstrate excellence, and not repeat those which fail to excel, Councillor Kim Richter said. The rest of council disagreed, refusing to second her motion for a bus tour that would allow
council, planning staff and developers to look at developments. ‘Greenfield’ is a term used to describe building on land, such as farms and forests, that has not been built on previously. ‘Brownfield’ refers to re-development, such as False Creek which was transformed from the industrial hub of Vancouver, to the site of Expo 86 to what it is today: a miscellany of residential properties, sports and recreational facilities, shops and water and land transportation links. After Richter’s notice of motion, which came up at council’s July 11 meeting was not seconded, she decided to arrange a tour anyway. It took place on July 26. Accompanied by planning department head Ramin Seifi, planner Stephen Richardson and administrator Mark Bakken, Richter arranged the trip to see what makes some housing “outstanding” and what it is about others
that raises concerns about sustainability, livability and serviceability. “It was very useful from the point of view of seeing the way these (subdivisions) look in reality rather than on paper,” she said. Touring residential developments in Willoughby and Walnut Grove, the four found examples of subdivisions that looked beautiful from the street, but had an internal road network that was very cramped. There are lessons to be learned from those that show pride of ownership, and those developments which lack that quality, she said. It’s clear that Langley is going to continue to develop, she said, adding that “we just need to ensure it is developed in the right way” where people can walk, play and live safely and enjoyably.

U-Pass changes JEFF NAGEL Black Press
TransLink and area universities are rolling out a tightened system to dispense and regulate student transit U-Passes that were often lost in the mail or illegally resold. The change comes as 60,000 additional students join an expanded, revamped U-Pass program that gives them all unlimited transit for $30 per month, charged with student fees. Each college or university is installing vending machines that will dispense the new U-Passes to students each month after they swipe their student cards. The monthly U-Passes replace the old system of mailing out passes that were good for an entire four-month term. TransLink estimated $15 million worth of U-Passes were being reported lost or stolen each year and replaced. Many of them later found their way into the hands of other users. Spokesman Ken Hardie said mailing the passes was problematic because many students weren’t diligent about keeping their mailing address up to date. “Cards were being sent off and lost in the ether,” he said. Officials hope doling out the passes just one month at a time via machine will solve that problem and make them harder to sell as well. Paying for U-Passes is mandatory but students in areas poorly served by transit contend they can’t use them and often try to resell them. The passes are non-transferrable but equivalent in value to a $151 three-zone monthly pass, so students who sold them could turn a tidy profit. Hardie said websites like craigslist and vansky. com have agreed to delete ads trying to sell U-Passes. And he said students who enroll for courses and then drop out — or otherwise cease to be eligible — won’t be able to get the next month’s pass. Since the new U-Passes won’t bear names or photos, students must be prepared to show their student cards as well when they board transit. The switch to the new U-Pass system followed lengthy negotiations between TransLink and the colleges and universities. Blair Jensen, chair of the coalition of Metro Vancouver public institutions, said the changes bring significant costs for each school, but added the provincial government put up a one-time $11-million subsidy to assist. The new system of vending machines spitting out monthly U-Passes will be in effect less than two years. In the spring of 2013, TransLink expects to launch its Compass smart card system for transit payment and the Compass chip will then be embedded in student cards so they act as transit passes as well. That should end the fraud problem, because students aren’t expected to sell their student cards and their transit access capability can be deactivated at any time.

‘Still a job ahead,’ says Fox from PAGE 3
“The commitment to full-time firefighters has been expensive but is a positive legacy in the growing community,” he said, adding that commitments to improved policing, the community safety officer program is also critical. The Langley Events Centre has been great for the community, the water and sewer infrastructure in to Aldergrove, improved parks and green space position the community for the future. There is still a job ahead, he said, pointing to taxes that are always an issue. He said he is committed to keeping taxes in
the next three years at or below the rate of inflation. “Now that we have staffed four fire halls, I believe this is attainable without leaving a legacy of debt and eroding infrastructure,” Fox said. “Public safety needs to continue to be high on the agenda with a continued focus on policing and an emphasis on bylaw enforcement.” He added that now that the new Aldergrove Core Plan is complete, he would like to see a community recreation facility in the downtown area. He feels Langley is ready to commence planning on an arts and culture/ theatre facility, and said that con-

tinued emphasis on maintenance of existing infrastructure, roads and pipes as well as dealing with the issues associated with good farm practice in the rural areas, is critical. Fox points out that he would have no difficulty working with any mayor chosen by the electorate, “but they must be prepared to be upfront and honest with council and the public.” Running as an independent, Fox said that his commitment is to “realistic attainable goals and initiatives, sustainable tax decisions and a positive legacy for the next generation while not leaving this community saddled with taxable debt.”

ward to the Arts in the Vines event on Aug. 28. This is open to the public and features over 60 local artists and artisans. A vision of me wandering through a vineyard, glass in hand surrounded by art, is something I would have never imagined possible, this close to home. If grape stomping is more your style, then don’t miss the purple-footed event in October, where you are welcome “to get your Lucy on.” Next stop in our tour will be Langley’s signature winery — Domaine de Chaberton. Third in a series
192ND
At times this summer, the game of tag between the sun, the clouds, and the rain has made our summer appear dreary at best. However, once inside a winery, all of that disappears and the day appears just that much brighter. Langley has just the antidote for disappointing weather — the Campbell Valley Wine Run. When I first visited with Inge Violet (founder of Domaine De Chaberton), our conversation soon led me to chatting up a storm with Patrick Murphy (owner of Vista D’oro Farm and Winery). Now I am off to enjoy yet another afternoon accented by award-winning wines and complemented by a picnic lunch at Langley’s own Township 7. The countryside setting of southern Langley has nestled quite comfortably around the five-acre parcel of Township 7 Vineyard and Winery. Chardonnay and pinot noir grapes hand harvested from the vineyard enables winemaker Bradley Cooper to produce a bubbly of both elegance and quality the world of wine has embraced. Seven Stars boasts citrus and floral aromas alongside a palate friendly burst of crisp apple and stonefruit, leaving way for just a hint of fig. Bubbles always make a cloudy day sunny and gives us just one more excuse to sip and savour. My all-time favourite wine from this winery is the 7 Blanc. A blend of Gewurztraminer, pinot gris and a splash of Muscat, it is perfect for the picnic style tapas selection available on-site. It has been said that this wine is the “Best in B.C.” by one of several premier wine critics, awarding our local winery with 90-plus points for numerous varietals available for tasting and purchasing.

Cautious openings for sockeye JEFF NAGEL Black Press
It won’t be the extraordinary run of 30 million sockeye salmon that surged up the Fraser River last summer and helped fill freezers along the way. But fishery managers have decided there are enough incoming salmon to justify commercial fishing. The Pacific Salmon Commission approved a two-hour opening for gillnetters in area E of the Fraser River last Thursday, after the latest estimates pointed to a run of at least 3.2 million incoming sockeye. Gillnetters who fish off Vancouver Island from Nanaimo to Port Hardy were the first to get their nets in the water, with an opening on Aug. 7. The run strength is believed to be in line with pre-season projections but it’s too early to say with confidence how many later-running sockeye will return. Bob McKamey, vice-president
of the Area E Gillnetters Association, is hopeful the counts will rise and fishery openings will continue. “There are some pretty promising numbers popping up,� he said of test fishing catches of Fraser sockeye off northern Vancouver Island. McKamey said there’s more scope to allow fishing in the river this year because the Fraser is running so high. The high water level means there’s more vertical room in the river for incoming salmon to avoid nets and continue upstream, he said, so escapement rates should be higher than usual. “The height of the water is so far above anything we’ve fished in recent history,� McKamey said. “Our ability to catch the fish will be affected.� First Nations, which get to fish ahead of other users for food, social and ceremonial reasons, have already been catching salmon for several weeks. Aboriginal groups are also
expected to be granted an economic opportunity fishery where sockeye can be sold now that some commercial fishing is approved. Recreational angling for sockeye may also open. Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Craig Orr said last year’s huge sockeye run was a “pleasant blip� but noted the overall long-term trend — which triggered the Cohen inquiry — is of declining runs. “We’re not out of the woods yet in needing to take a very precautionary approach in how many fish we harvest in the Fraser,� he said. Pink salmon are expected to be plentiful this year, with a run estimated at 17.5 million fish. Traditionally low-value and far less lucrative than sockeye, pinks may attract more attention from commercial fishermen this fall since the Marine Stewardship Council certified all B.C. pink salmon as sustainably fished. The green seal of approval may help boost prices.

Farmers’ golf tournament raises funds to feed needy FRANK BUCHOLTZ Times Reporter
Turkey and egg farmers from Langley and other parts of the Fraser Valley will take to the links on Wednesday, Aug. 31, in support of a good cause — Union Gospel Mission. Union Gospel Mission, located in downtown Vancouver, New Westminster and Mission, is a street ministry that deals with people who are homeless and often suffering from addictions and other serious problems. One of its best-known programs is feeding people in the downtown east side of Vancouver. The farmers are in the food business, and they are well aware of the need. They also know the importance of turkey and egg products in good nutrition. So back in 2005, the B.C. Turkey Association and the B.C. Egg Producers Association got together to start a charity golf tournament. The event that they host jointly raises money for the
feeding programs at Union Gospel Mission. One hundred per cent of proceeds go towards purchasing food products. Langley turkey farmer Bodo Goetzke, a member of the committee that organizes the event, said the event started off as a smaller event, but has now become very popular. It sells out months in advance, and for the Aug. 31 tournament, there is a waiting list. Most of the golfers are farmers and suppliers to the turkey and egg industry, such as people working for feed companies, farm equipment dealers, insurance companies and other industries. In 2010, the tournament raised over $40,000, and since 2005, it has raised $137,382. The tournament takes place at Newlands Golf and Country Club, 21025 48 Avenue. It starts with a lunch, courtesy of Lilydale, a chicken and turkey processor. The shotgun start on Newlands’ 18-hole course is at
1 p.m., and the event ends with a buffet dinner, where prizes are awarded. There is also a live auction, which raises funds for UGM. A speaker from the mission gives a short testimonial as to its effectiveness as well. A note from Union Gospel Mission to the tournament organizers testifies to the need and the effectiveness of the farmers’ donations. “At Union Gospel Mission, we often say that ‘hope begins with a meal.’ Your weekly donations of egg products and monthly donations of turkeys play a huge part in ensuring we can provide meals full of nutrition that is essential for healing. For so many, that meal truly is the beginning of a journey that can lead to breaking free of the devastating cycles of poverty, addiction and homelessness.Thank you for bringing hope to the hundreds of men, women and children who come through our doors each day,” wrote Lisa Falconer, UGM’S principal giving officer.

Drive hope to reverse that, giving hope not only for Thanksgiving Day but beyond. The food drive is a provincial initiative created to help feed thousands of families in B.C. who rely on food banks for their basic nutritional needs. Presented by various community groups, the local event in Langley runs the week of Sept. 11 to 17, when volunteers will deliver flyers with donation bags to select homes throughout the area. If you live in Langley and are looking for ways to give back to the community, watch for a donation bag delivered to your front door, and simply fill it with non-perishable items such as canned meat and fish, canned fruit and vegetables, peanut butter, baby formula and baby food, rice, whole wheat pasta and sauce) and leave it on your doorstep. All contributions will be collected on Saturday, Sept. 17 beginning at 9:30 a.m., and delivered that day to the Langley Food Bank. For residents who do not receive a bag, volunteers will accept donations of non-perishable food on Sept. 17 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at 20370 – 82 Ave. Organizers hope that with the help of friends and neighbors in the community, the local food bank shelves can be stocked in time for Thanksgiving.

Approval process worries Richter NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
When it comes to giving approval for subdivisions, there are two sets of decision makers at Township Hall. Councillor Kim Richter thinks that one of them has too much power and usurps council’s authority. An approving officer, typically the head of the planning department and a municipality’s administrator, has the power to approve developments which never come to council’s attention.These are the ones which meet requirements for

zoning and subdivision control. Those that do not would not only require council’s approval, but also public input. What raised Richter’s concern is the number of developments being approved for land above the Hopington aquifer where a moratorium on subdividing land has been in place since 1995. “There is way too much development being approved in the Hopington (area) when the moratorium is still in place,” Richter said. “My concern is that an approving officer may be acting as if there is no moratorium when in face the
moratorium is still in place.” While zoning bylaws supersede the moratorium, no motion of council or court order has challenged the moratorium, she noted. At its last meeting before the summer break, council agreed with Richter that the Township should seek a legal opinion on how the powers and jurisdiction of approving officers could be limited so that any application for subdivision over the Hopington aquifer comes before council first. The position of approving officer is created in the Land Titles Act, which mandates their authority and conduct.

Bertrand Creek cleanup Saturday Environmental enthusiasts are invited to bring their friends and join Langley Environmental Partners Society and the Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society on Saturday, Aug. 20 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.. They will hop into hip waders and wade in the water to remove floating and embedded non-natural debris that has accumulated in Bertrand Creek, throughout the urban core of Aldergrove. “This event is family friendly and all ages are invited to participate,” said Nichole Marples, LEPS executive director. Participants will be able to wade into the creek and remove floating and embedded debris such as trash, shopping carts and wood, as well as walk on the stream banks and use litter pickers to remove accumulated rubbish, such as convenience store waste, she added. LEPS will provide work gloves, chest waders, lit-
ter pickers and trash/recycling bags, and snacks for volunteers. Participants should wear rubber boots, and bear in mind that their clothing will get dirty. Participants should meet in the parking lot beside Extra Foods at the Aldergrove Centre mall on 272 Street, north of Fraser Highway. Look for the Think Salmon tent. “This is a great opportunity to view this salmonbearing creek from a whole new perspective, get a little dirty removing trash that has accumulated throughout the year, better your community, do a good deed, and have a lot of fun,” she said. Cleaning up the creek prior to spawning season will help to welcome the salmon home to a trashfree habitat, she added. The project is supported by Fraser Salmon and Watersheds Program. Call 604-532-3511 or e-mail lazeez@tol.ca if you will take part.

Freybe lowers energy use ever, over 15 per cent savings are expected, equating to a five month payback. Freybe also reduced its water consumption. Polishing (i.e physically filtering) water at the inlet to their refrigeration coolant loop, rather than using a chemical process, has reduced water usage by 3,500 cubic metres per year. By reducing the total organic waste going into their effluent, Freybe’s manufacturing wastewater is purer, and the cost of disposal of this collected waste is lowered. Freybe is also looking into partnering with local food manufacturers to process their waste in an anaerobic digester, eliminating landfill-bound organic waste entirely. Freybe’s fleet is another area for substantial savings. Installation of GPS tracking is planned for all fleet vehicles. Originally, 10 one-ton vans were used for all local staff trips, from sales to deliveries and merchandising. In January, Freybe began replacing the five vans ordinarily used by sales reps with fuelefficient vehicles. Deliveries are made in the remaining five oneton vans. The plan is to replace them with three, more fuel-efficient, hybrid vehicles. Its initiatives save the company $50,000 a year; its annual carbon savings exceed 390 tonnes.

cutting more than 12 per cent from its total annual electricity usage. Freybe has set a goal of reducing electricity by 20 per cent by the end of October, and is also working to reduce natural gas use. The company has its beginnings more than 165 years ago in Stettin, Germany, when Johann Carl Freybe began his sausagemaking business. Six generations later, the Freybe family is now producing more than 120 varieties of sausages, ham, and specialty deli meats. Its products have earned more than 600 international medals, In re-examining its high-pressure boiler set up, staff determined the risk of boiler failure was low. They decided a backup boiler didn’t need to stay on constantly so they shifted to a ‘dry-layup’ procedure in which the backup is only fired when needed. In addition, they found a way to step down excess high-pressure steam to provide low-pressure steam for other processes, eliminating the need for their low-pressure boiler. Changing how equipment is used has effectively reduced requirement for three boilers down to one. The actual annual savings will not be determined until the company has tracked the current year’s natural gas usage and compared it with last year’s. How-

Freybe Gourmet Foods is one of 18 companies based in the Township which are taking part in a cost and energy savings initiative called Climate Smart Program. Starting with low-cost or nocost solutions, Freybe, based out of Gloucester Estates in north Aldergrove, has realized emissions and cost savings, some with immediate paybacks, and is building the case that there is money to be made in pursuing emissions reductions and continuing on to more capitalintensive projects. Freybe began by analysing the operating hours of its manufacturing facility. Redistributing shifts and compressing the work week by six hours immediately reduced their overall energy consumption by two per cent, and it cost nothing. Freybe has also saved over 530,000 kWh of electricity in the last nine months. By switching metal-halides lights to T5s, the company now saves nearly 400,000 kWh annually with a capital investment of $39,000 plus labour. Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) were installed on all refrigeration units, allowing them to adjust output and energy consumption based on demand. With further investment in automated control, Freybe expects to increase savings to nearly 1,000,000 kWh annually,

It was frustration with her employers’ approach to educating children that led teacher Aldona Sieja to go into business for herself. It was her husband’s idea. “Let’s open up our own,” Andrew Sieja said after listening to his wife complain that the school where she worked was Montessori “in name only.” Aldona Sieja, a second-generation teacher, strongly supports the principles developed by legendary Italian educator Maria Montessori. Both the Sieja children have attended a Montessori school, one of 20,000 worldwide where children learn at their own pace in an environment where they are free to move about and choose activities that interest them. The first Montessori school the Siejas opened was run from the basement of their house. She was the school director, and he taught art. It was a success. Then the couple built the New Horizon Montessori School in Coquitlam, with Andrew Sieja hammering nails with the construction crew. Now, seven years later the family has moved to Langley’s Walnut Grove area where they have just opened their second campus. The just-completed modernist cube at 20338 91A Avenue is an airy, brightly-coloured space with three well-stocked classrooms, huge windows and high ceilings. Each classroom has its own entrances and exits to the outside. The Siejas have moved into a house next to the Langley school with their children. During a Tuesday visit, Andrew Sieja said their

Paying it forward Ram’s coach a positive role model for football players GARY AHUJA Times Sports
Not happy with what he is seeing from his players during a late evening practice, Langley Rams first year head coach Jeff Alamolhoda yells for the players to stop what they are doing and line up. The players silently march to one side of the field and await their fate. Running sprints is a common punishment tool for coaches when they feel the team needs to focus. His tone is not angry, but rather stern or disciplinarian. The message to the Rams football players, who are between the ages of 18 and 22, was simple: do things the correct way or there will be consequences. Discipline and following instructions properly are big things for Alamolhoda. As is being a positive role model. Growing up, this was something lacking in his life. But once he got on the football field, a coach instilled discipline in the wayward Langley teenager. And by getting into coaching, this is Alamolhoda’s way of helping others, much like he was. ••••• “I grew up with some struggles,” admits Alamolhoda. “And I had a couple of people who supported me through it
and put me in the position I am in today. “So if I can return the favour for at least one youth, that would be beneficial.” Alamolhoda, 31, grew up in Langley, with his two siblings and mom. Times were tough as the family struggled to make ends meet. There was no positive role model in his life. But football changed that. Alamolhoda joined the sport when he was nine. A soccer coach had recommended he perhaps switch to football, figuring the young boy’s aggressiveness and physical make-up was better suited to the gridiron than the pitch. “I had a body type more suited for football,” Alamolhoda says with a laugh. “I wasn’t the leanest athlete and they definitely saw I had potential somewhere else. “(But) it was a sport I fell in love with.” He progressed through the ranks of the Langley Minor Football Association. He began as a fullback, moved to the defensive line and then finally settled at the linebacker position. Following minor football, he graduated to the junior game, joining the now-defunct Tri-City Bulldogs of the B.C. Football Conference. The linebacker earned a

But even before his playing days were done, the transformation from player to coach had begun. It began with him volunteering as linebackers coach for the Winnipeg Rifles junior football team while he was a university student. This taste of coaching
cemented the fact this is how he would continue his involvement. While it may have been easy for some to walk away from their final game as a champion, like he could have done following the Vanier Cup victory, Alamolhoda was left wanting more. “That just left a taste in my mouth, that wasn’t enough,” he said. “I needed to be a part of football somehow.

Carolyn Sutherland and Robbie Gallaugher both found the top of the podium at the Western Canada Summer Games in Kamloops. Sutherland won gold in the long jump with a leap of 5.81m on her last attempt at Hillside Stadium last week, setting a new Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club record. Sutherland also helped Team B.C. win silver in the 4x100 relay and she came sixth in the 100m. Gallaugher, another Mustang member, also won gold in the long jump. He leaped 7.22m to take top spot for B.C. Gallagher also won bronze last month at the Canadian track and field championships in Winnipeg. Another local athlete, Jade Vaughan, captured the bronze medal in the 400m hurdles race at the Kamloops’ Games. Jordan Smith just missed the podium, placing fourth in the 3000m steeplechase and sixth in the 5000m race. The track and field medals were part of a great haul in the second week of the Games. Langley’s Morgan Mark, a member of the UBC Dolphins swim group, also did very well, bringing home two golds in the women’s 400m and 4x50m medley relays, and two silvers in the women’s 4x50m and 4x100m free relays. Marissa Van Noort helped B.C. win gold in basketball with a thrilling 61-60 victory over Manitoba. Trevor Marsh helped win gold in softball as B.C. defeated Saskatchewan 9-4 for top spot. Tyler Heppell helped the male volleyball team place bronze at the Summer Games. B.C. settled for silver in baseball after a 6-4 loss to Alberta in the gold medal match. The team featured Liam Kano McGregor and Shayne Clark on the roster, while Eddie Dagg was coach. In the canoe/kayak racing, Del Muench added a pair of bronze medals to his overall haul. Muench was third in both the K4 1000m event and the war canoe mixed event. In the Games’ first week, he won a pair of silver medals. B.C. also settled for silver in soccer, with Langley centre back Graham Kasper, forward Josh Brown, and coach Chelsey Hannesson all part of the team.

Becoming a successful coach From PAGE 33
“Football has been my life, my whole life and I wasn’t ready to give it up abruptly.” Alamolhoda’s on-field responsibilities already made him a coach on the field. He was responsible for determining the opposition’s offensive formation and then calling the proper defense for his teammates. After graduating from school with a degree in kinesiology — and as an academic all-Canadian — he moved back to Langley and accepted one of his former minor coach’s offers to help out with the Chiiliwack Huskers program. Last year, he was the Huskers defensive co-ordinator, and he took the same job with the Rams as they moved from Surrey to Langley this past offseason. He soon added head coach to his title after the abrupt resignation of Rams coach Tyson St. James. “He demands the best from the kids both on and off the field,” Nick Kawaza, the Rams’ vice-president of football operations. “He has the qualities you want: character, integrity, high morals. He will do a great job for us.” Alamolhoda says there are no
secrets to being a successful coach. While athleticism and skill are important, so are discipline and structure. “Anytime I had success in my football career, it was structured, it was disciplined,” he said. “Being able to have the players following a direct, structured program, I believe in that. “It doesn’t matter what kind of athletes you have on the field, they have to understand the concepts of football. It is a team game and you have to be able to have everyone working together collaboratively.” While some coaches are the rah-rah type, Alamolhoda is more about preparation. “I plan meticulously, I try to make sure every aspect is covered,” he said. The players prepare physically for the game, but he gets them mentally ready. Being a coach is just another way for him to give back. Originally wanting to get into teaching, he instead accepted a job in Maple Ridge with PLEA Community Services. He works with at-risk young men between the ages of 13 and 18. “They might not necessarily have a lot of the benefits that some other youth might have growing up,” Alamolhoda says. “A lot of them don’t have

The Langley Rams are still looking for their first win of the year after a 15-14 loss to the Okanagan Suns on Saturday (Aug. 13). Although this is their third loss, coach Jeff Alamolhoda says the team has played well in the last two games. “Our boys have battled hard. We have a new coach in place, a new system, new coordinators, a whole bunch of new faces. I think we’re really starting to get into our grove set now,� he said. “As a coaching staff we thought we competed really hard in our last two games, and we have made huge strides from week one to week two to week three.� Many players on the team stepped up and made some great plays. Quarterback Brandon Leyh completed 14 of 28 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns. Mike Park caught three balls for 56 yards. Malcom Freeman carried seven times for 30 yards and Leyh seven

YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW.
BALL
Did you know that a beautiful smile begins with a proper bite? Not many people know this. This is the basis of Neuromuscular Dentistry, advanced care that only a few dentists have learned. Dr. Andrew Willoughby, DMD, is one of those few dentists. If you have unexplained pain, including migraines, TMJ, shoulder or neck pain, or numberness in your fingers, your bite may be the cause. Dr. Willoughby may be able to help. Find out what you don’t know. Call Dr. Willoughby at Cloverdale Crossing Dental Group.

CAR CARE & REPAIR Summer brings construction woes Summer is the main season for road construction, which means there’s a good chance you’ll hit a bump or two, or come across loose stones and other hazards associated with construction zones. These road conditions can be tough on a vehicle’s steering and suspension systems and can throw out the alignment, while loose stones have the potential to damage the vehicle’s exterior or windshield. The symptoms of steering and suspension or wheel alignment problems are uneven tire wear, pulling to one side, noise and vibration while cornering or loss of control. Motorists should have their vehicles checked out immediately if any of these symptoms exist, as steering and suspension systems are key safety-related components and largely determine the car’s ride and handling. Motorists also should do frequent visual checks of their vehicle’s exterior and windshield to identify any chips, dings or cracks. These are small problems that can become costly repairs and safety hazards.
