Langley family sues police over death

BOUND FOR NATIONALS

Wrongful death claim filed one year after Alvin Wright shooting DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

from a single site. He promised he will continue to campaign for a dispensary in Langley. “I have a lot of time to be annoying [now that my dispensary is closed]”, Caine said. “I will not leave this.” Langley RCMP raided Caine’s dispensary on July 19, saying it was in response to “numerous ongoing complaints from the community and area residents.” Caine had about 200 clients and a legal licence to supply just two people. “I exceeded my quota, sure,” Caine said. “But how can there be a quota on health care?”

This week marks the one-year anniversary of the shooting death of Langley resident Alvin Wright, who died after he was shot by an RCMP officer during an August 6, 2010 confrontation inside his bedroom. It was marked by Vancouver lawyer Donald Sorochan on Tuesday morning with the announcement the family has just filed a lawsuit against six unnamed RCMP officers. Sorochan provided reporters with copies of the B.C. Supreme Court statement of claim that had been filed a few Alvin minutes earlier Wright in the Vancouver court registry across the street from his Howe Street office. The lawsuit seeks unspecified compensation from six unnamed RCMP officers, four men and two women and their superiors, for the alleged wrongful death of Wright, the false imprisonment of his spouse Heather Hannon and the infliction of mental distress on her following the shooting. The court filing gives previously unreported details about the events at the two-storey townhouse on the southeast corner of 53 Avenue and 203 Street where the 22-year-old Wright lived with his common-law wife and their infant daughter.

New pot dispensary planned Langley service which was closed by police will be revived, meeting told DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

The Langley Medical Marijuana Dispensary that was shut down by police will be revived under new management and a different “member-driven” structure. Randy Caine made the announcement Tuesday night at a public meeting with more than 100 supporters at the Douglas Recreation Centre.

“We will have another dispensary operating in this community in the not-too-distant future,” Caine said. Caine added the new dispensary will not be located in the office that was raided by police last month and he, personally, will not be involved in its day-to-day operation. “I have to step back [following the raid],” Caine said. He did not disclose who would be running the new dispensary, except to say the person is a medical user. “There is someone within your medicinal community who will bring this back.” Caine indicated the new dispensary will operate in a more decentralized fashion than his operation, which supplied marijuana

Report looking at ‘substantial’ fine increase

Last push in anti-HST fight NDP leader Adrian Dix stops in Langley ahead of Friday’s HST voting deadline BRENDA ANDERSON

NATASHA JONES

Times Reporter

With just four days remaining for voters to decide the fate of the HST, NDP leader Adrian Dix was in Langley on Tuesday morning as part of a final push to convince residents to help quash the 13-month old harmonized sales tax. Speaking to about 20 people in the Mocha Room coffee house on Fraser Highway (stop number 34 on his tour) Dix argued that a return to the GST-PST formula would save working families thousands of dollars. Holding up his own $4 cup of coffee, Dix pointed out that he’d paid 48 cents HST on the beverage — an increase of 28 cents above what it would have cost him just over a year ago. Even these small amounts add up, he said. “And it affects everyone. The basket of goods affected (by the HST) is much bigger.” Depending on how it is calculated, Dix said, between 20 and 40 per cent more items and services are taxed under the HST than were under the PST. And that money, he said, has gone to subsidize a reduction of taxes to big business, rather than fund health care or education in the province. “The HST, at its core, is a tax transfer from businesses to working families,” Dix said. “That’s what the GST was.” “It gives Ottawa control of our taxation system.” Asked what he would suggest as a fair form of taxation, Dix replied:“The province’s finances were better

Heftier fines and better signage will form the key elements of a report into illegal parking in stalls designated for the handicapped. Langley Township council supported Councillor Jordan Bateman’s motion asking staff for a report that will look at a “substantial” increase in the fine. On July 25, Bateman suggested a fine of between $300 and $500. A penalty higher than the current $100 will serve as a better deterrent and give bylaw enforcement officers “a better tool and a bigger stick,” he said. He suggested that handicapped stalls display signs showing the fine for illegal parking. Councillor Bob Long disagreed.“I don’t think that raising the fine is going to make a difference,” he said. The staff report will also examine the penalties which neighbouring municipalities charge. Bateman’s motion was triggered by the experience of Joyce Olsen, a Township resident who, on the same day in June, was twice prevented from parking in a stall for the handicapped, once in Langley City and once in the Township. On one of those occasions, an able-bodied woman called Olsen, who has multiple sclerosis, an offensive name. When a similar incident occurred outside the Royal Bank in Murrayville, Olsen complained to Township Mayor Rick Green and bylaw enforcement staff. Currently in the Township, motorists who do not have a handicapped sign in their vehicles and are found in the designated spots can be fined $100. The law applies to designated parking stalls anywhere in the Township, said chief bylaw enforcement officer Bill Storie. That includes shopping centres. “The people at Willowbrook mall say it’s being abused all the time,” Green commented at the meeting as council approved the motion. The penalty in Langley City is $50, reduced to $25 if the fine is paid within seven days.

Brenda ANDERSONLangley Times

Adrian Dix chats with Gail Chaddock-Costello and Don McKinnon during a visit to the Mocha Room on Fraser Highway on Tuesday morning. The stop was part of a last push by the NDP leader to convince B.C. residents to cast a ballot by Aug. 5 to put an end to the HST. under the PST-GST. In the next five to 10 years, the province will be better off if we return to (the system that was in place on ) June 30, 2010. “We need to re-link the taxes we pay to the services we get.” None of the revenue from the carbon tax has gone toward transit or other environmental initiatives, Dix said. “People in Langley have very indifferent access to transit. They pay the carbon tax and have no real alternative to driving. “There is a disconnect between the taxes people pay and the services they get.” From the beginning, said Dix,

B.C. residents have been led down the garden path by the Liberal government, and the HST is just one more example. “There is no question the Liberal party intentionally misled people (about the tax) in the last election,” Dix said. “If they get away with this because people didn’t send in their ballots, it will continue,” he added. Just 38 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot in the 2002 Nisga’a Treaty referendum, which was conducted in a similar format. “We need greater participation,” Dix said. “I’m as concerned about the

turnout as I am the result.” A quick show of hands seemed to indicate that everyone at the Mocha Room event had received and returned their ballots, despite July’s lockout at Canada Post. However, Dix said he believes the interruption did affect voter turnout, and that a lot of people who’ve received ballots still haven’t sent them in. He urged those people to mark their X — for or against the tax — and return the ballot to a local reception centre before the 4:30 p.m. deadline on Friday, Aug 5. In Langley, there is one at Willowbrook Shopping Centre.

Raid ‘about spreading fear’ from PAGE 1

Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times

Randy Caine announced a new medical marijuna dispensary will replace his Langley operation, which was closed down by police. He will not be involved in the new facility.

He doubts the case will ever go to court. “I don’t think any of this was about laying charges,” Caine said. “It was about spreading fear.” Caine said the dispensary was a response to a lack of legitimate sources of marijuana for Langley medicinal users, that it was financially viable despite charging less than black market rates, and that local politicians should get behind it. “They’ve got to unbuckle their butt and step forward.” Earlier that day, a small group of about 10 dispensary supporters picketed city hall with signs saying “please support medical MJ access” and “Langley needs medical MJ access now.” Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender told the protestors he will not support a dispensary that breaks the law and would prefer a system that distributes cannabis through pharmacies.

“You should be able to get a prescription,” Fassbender told protestors during a low-key conversation with protester Corey Reid in the city hall foyer. While the two men have substantially different views about cannabis, both agreed that the current laws governing medical marijuana use are a mess. “We’ve got to fix what’s wrong and what’s wrong is the law,” Fassbender said as he shook hands with Reid. The mayor also said when Caine informed the city of his intentions to operate a dispensary, he was warned. Fassbender said he appreciates Caine’s position, but the law is clear. “If you do it, it’s at your own risk.” He said he did not direct the RCMP to raid the dispensary, and added that the police make their own decision about whom to investigate.

Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender and former Langley Marijuana Dispensary client Corey Reid chatted in the foyer of city hall before a small group of medicinal marijuana supporters demonstrated outside Tuesday afternoon.

Times given info before family, lawyer complains from PAGE 1

According to the lawyer, police were called after Wright and his spouse got into a heated argument and he ordered her out of the house. She wanted help getting some of her possessions from the baby’s room. “There were no threats or acts of violence,” Sorochan said. “At no point did Heather express any concern for her safety.” When Hannon managed to get in the house ahead of police while Wright was sleeping, she phoned the RCMP again and was told to leave the house. Despite that, several officers went inside and entered the bedroom where Wright was sleeping. They did not give any warning before they opened the door, Sorochan maintained. Witnesses heard a single gunshot. Wright was wounded in the stomach and was taken to hospital where he was declared dead the next day. Police arrested Hannon at the scene and refused to let her contact a lawyer. When she texted her father, Craig Hannon, an officer confiscated Hannon’s cell phone, Sorochan said. “The police response to Heather was quite incredible,” Sorochan said. When her father showed up at the Langley detachment, police refused to let him see his daughter for several hours, even though he could hear her distraught screams from the lobby. “Disgraceful,” Sorochan said. He also provided reporters with copies of the eulogy read at Wright’s funeral and copies of The Times front page of Aug. 20, 2010, which reported that RCMP Supt. Derek Cooke had just reinstated the officer who fired the fatal shot. That was the same day as Wright’s funeral, Sorochan said, and family and friends were outraged that the newspaper was told before they were.

Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times

Lawyer Donald Sorochan complained the police were quicker to inform the Langley Times of developments in the Alvin Wright shooting than they were to tell the family of the victim. On Tuesday, Sorochan launched a wrongful death lawsuit against the RCMP officers involved in the August 2010 death of the 22-year-old Langley man. Sorochan said the same thing occurred recently when The Times reported that the investigation was nearing an end. He was “besieged” by phone calls from family members upset because they were not informed before the newspaper was, Sorochan said. He has confirmed with the VPD that the investigation is expected to wrap up by the end of next month. The lawyer said the investigation has been marked by exces-

sive delays to get forensic evidence that should have been available in a matter of a few weeks, but took more than four months instead. “I do not find it at all acceptable,” Sorochan said. He said he has asked to see the forensic report and has been refused. Claims made in the civil lawsuit have yet to be proven in court. Video online at langleytimes. com.

Bring respect back, says Penner It’s time for a change, says Ben Penner, who hopes to bring “a respectful tone to council, working with integrity to bring back the democratic process to the Township,” if he is successful in the Nov. 18 civic election. With Mayor Rick Green, Penner is running with six other candidates under the Vote Langley Now banner. “There has been obvious dysfunction within council which is one of the motivating factors for my interest in becoming a member of council,” Penner said. “My training and years of work experience have provided valuable skills in negotiating, team

building, crisis management, policy development, investigating critical incidents, and problem solving; all with a high degree of professionalism, and will bring a stabilizing effect to the new council voted into office.” He said that a majority of the current councillors have shown disrespect towards voters, particularly over the Mufford overpass, Athenry development and a multi-million dollar payout over the Langley Events Centre. Saying that councillors must act as stewards of the taxpayers’ money, Penner vows to conduct himself in a manner that is above reproach.

He said that the Township needs sound financial planning that best serves Township residents, and that means zero-based budgeting, evaluating the relevancy of past budget projections to ensure they are still pertinent for the current year’s budget, and consider whether adjustments are needed in relation to the present economic climate. He supports a property endowment fund to ensure that taxpayers benefit from the use of any property owned by the Township, and says that property tax increases must be limited to the rate of inflation and the cost of living. continued, PAGE 7

As one of the youngest candidates so far in the election, Tyler deBoer hopes to appeal to an “alternative and younger demographic,” and stir interest among the young to vote. “I look to offer an alternative to younger voters and make a connection where we can draw them into becoming more involved in what happens within their community,” deBoer said.

Malyk condemns tax increases In the past three years, Township property taxes have increased by twice the rate of inflation, and that is inexcusable and will no longer be tolerated, says Vote Langley Now candidate Tony Malyk. He condemned the ‘six pack plus one’ vote to accept proposals such as the Mufford Crescent overpass, the Bedford Landing development and Athenry when the public was passionately opposed. Malyk said that when challenged with the level of the property tax increase this past spring, one councillor threw a copy of the budget down and said “where would you cut?” “This is the sign of someone who has either given up on trying to get a handle on the budget or just plain doesn’t know what to do,” Malyk said, adding that what is needed is “fresh, openminded people on council who won’t give up and know what needs to be done. It’s time to complete the change.” Residents have told him that property tax increases are unacceptable.

“The current council has adopted a sense of entitlement and no longer represents the wishes of the citiTony Malyk zens. They continue to vote for proposals despite the passionate disapproval demonstrated by our citizens.” He said that Langley continues to be ignored by TransLink, which asks residents “to keep paying for service we are not receiving. We have been subsidizing the Lower Mainland for years; it is now their turn to start paying for improvements to Langley.” He said that with 8,000 to 10,000 people moving in and out of Gloucester Industrial Park every day, it is “unfathomable” that there is no transit there. Malyk condemned council for continuing to sell out the ALR to developers, putting food security and identity of “where country meets city” at risk. He said that families are con-

cerned that recreational facilities and programs being cut, limiting opportunities for families to enjoy their Township. If elected, Malyk hopes to initiate a complete review of all municipal operations, administration and systems to look for efficiencies, not to cut back programs, but do more with less, as the private sector has been doing for years. He vows to restore the citizen’s voice at Township hall. “I will listen with an open mind to all sides of an issue before making any final decisions, something that the current council is not doing.” He supports the South of Fraser Community Rail Task Force in its bid to restore the Interurban service on the corridor between Scott Road and Chilliwack. Malyk supports a feasibility study to determine if the reunification of the Langleys is in everyone’s best interests. He also vows to fight to preserve the ALR. Malyk owns a Langley distribution company.

Transportation is a key challenge from PAGE 6

Noting that the Township is comprised of six urban communities, and a huge farming community that makes up 75 per cent of the land, Penner said he would support community involvement in the planning of each community area. Regarding transportation, Penner said that two major trans-

portation corridors — Highway 1 and the railway — present a significant challenge as they cut Langley in half. “Both of these Ben Penner transportation assets are important regionally, provincially, and nationally,” he said. To reduce traffic chaos,

more overpasses are needed that align with the present transportation corridors and have the least impact on agricultural land. Overpasses and roads must have the least impact on agricultural land, and improvements must provide long-term solutions and support public transit. Penner is an assistant deputy warden for the B.C. Corrections Branch.

Budgeting and fiscal responsibility are key to Langley’s success as a growing community. “Writing errant cheques and never ending property tax increases do not scream of responsible and creative budgeting which I believe the taxpayers are pleading for,” he said. “I plan to keep an open mind and commit to listening and hearing the public out on issues that

He pledged that Vote Langley Now’s team of individuals “will collaborate and work in the public’s best interest as well as promote our core values.”

lawsuit has been filed against six RCMP officers, over the shooting death of Alvin Wright in his Langley City home almost exacly one year ago, on Aug. 6, 2010. While his family have every right to file such a suit, and it will undoubtedly be dealt with in the courts in due course (which is almost certainly many years away), there is a more fundamental question of justice that remains unanswered. That question is posed to the Vancouver Police, who are investigating the shooting death. It is a simple one — why has it taken almost a year to investigate this matter, and why has there been no interim report to the family and the community, while the investigation continues? Lawyer Don Sorochan made the point at his news conference on Tuesday that the news media (and he singled out The Times) have been able to find out more than Wright’s family have. This is an ironic and fascinating point, because The Times has found out almost nothing in the past year. The little bit of information this newspaper has found out, and immediately shared with our readers, has come solely as a result of reporters pestering the police. They have made no publc statements and issued no press releases. Police have many things to do. The Vancouver Police now have, for example, to get to the bottom of the Stanley Cup riots. However, the death of a young man at the hands of police must be one of their highest priorities. When they are asked to do an investigation caused by police, it must be done promptly and in as public a manner as possible. In other words, the public and, first and foremost, the family need to be kept informed. Such an investigation must be done in a timely fashion as well. There seems very little good reason why it would take more than a year to establish the basic facts of the case, and to interview all the relevant witnesses. Many people have very little confidence in the police. There are many reasons for this, but surely one of them is the cone of silence that seems to descend when someone dies at the hands of police. The family of Alvin Wright and the community of Langley need to know what Vancouver Police have found out about this case. The sooner, the better. If police want to regain public confidence, they must be openly accountable for their actions, in a timely manner.

unglasses. A pack of cigarettes. Loose change. They are items not worth that much, but leaving them in plain sight in your vehicle could lead to an ICBC claim and having to have repairs made after a break-in. There apparently is no target too small for local thieves. While some of the recent thefts from vehicles are of higher-priced items like iPods, cameras and satellite radios, many appear to be a case of someone breaking into the vehicle, then just taking whatever happens to be lying around. We’re halfway through summer (well, according to the calendar, at least), so it might be the easy way to blame youth out of school and bored with many of these crimes. The thing is, according to RCMP, there are peaks and valleys for these break-ins throughout the year, including times when school is in. So how do we stop these crimes? Some of the onus is on the vehicle owners. Do the little things. Make sure your vehicle is locked anytime you leave it. Park in a well-lit area. Most importantly, make sure nothing of value is visible inside. (That’s another reason for parking in a well-lit area.) In terms of how we as a society can cut down on these crimes, there are two schools of thought. One would see the thieves, when caught, face the full force of the justice system. If you catch them early enough in the cycle, you can break them of the bad habits. The other idea is to provide more opportunities for youth in the community. The problem is, to some youth, breaking into vehicles is their leisure activity. Don’t make it easy for them. —Prince George Free Press

Municipalities must tighten spending Editor: As has been recently reported, Canadians are now more in debt than our neighbours to the south. By now, most property owners will have paid municipal taxes, and have had to find more money from their after-tax incomes to pay them. The Association against Higher Property Taxes is not against taxes, only excessive taxes, and the waste that comes with it. As long as municipalities have the power to increase taxes as they deem necessary, then they will not get serious about waste, mismanagement, bloated salaries and benefits. It is our opinion that property taxes should be linked to the cost of living index, which should be affordable. This then puts the municipality on a budget, and finding funds to operate has to be looked at much more seriously, especially for waste and inefficiencies. Most of us are on a tight budget, and I can see no reason why municipalities should not also have to control their expenses. Talking about spending, few people know where their hard-earned dollars go, and how out-of-control spending is the cause of the exor-

bitant tax increases businesses and residents have experienced over the last few years From the schedule of expenses, which is available, but seldom asked for, we have extracted of few examples for people to think about. In the City of Langley, which is approximately four square miles, we have some highly-paid, and in my opinion, overpaid, employees. The chief administrative officer, in 2004 received $86,042. But in 2009, he received $184,725. One firefighter in 2004 received $84,983, but in 2009 received $117,000. Everywhere you look in these schedules, you can find excessive increments, the likes of which you and I can only dream about. Yet we don’t seem to complain, as we pay this from already-taxed dollars. With this ever-increasing burden, it is no wonder that Canadians are now getting deeper and deeper into debt, and more of us are having difficulty balancing our cheque books To my knowledge, the City has not expanded in area, but the cost of policing has gone from $4,946,677 in 2004 to an

incredible $8,357,740 for 2009. How about $1,840,373 for general services in 2004? It was an an astounding $3,271,480 for 2009. On another matter, Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, was on the evening TV news on July 18. He was outspoken against the suggestion made by the B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins that the Evergreen Line should be funded by municipalities reducing their spending by one per cent. Based on the above information, can he really be serious? But, he does, however support taxpayers paying an additional two cents per litre on their gas purchases. So, if I read this correctly, it is OK for overtaxed citizens and families to find more money, but not OK for the municipality to reduce its spending? It is time to demand better from our elected officials, and demand they reduce bloated salaries and waste. They must cap property taxes, and stop saying it’s OK for taxpayers to pay more. continued, PAGE 10

No room for parties on local councils Editor: On Tuesday, July 26, I attended Murrayville Hall, after receiving an open invitation to the residents of Langley to hear an “Important announcement that will have a significant impact on the future for all residents of the Township of Langley.” I was disappointed to discover that it was nothing more than a campaign rally to announce a new Langley slate. One after the other slate candidates, sporting their new “Vote Langley Now” T-shirts, spoke about how they were part of a “team.” Their team appears to be united by T-shirts and a desire to re-elect the mayor. My team doesn’t wear matching T-shirts. My team is the community of Langley. If I’m privileged enough to be elected, I will remember that my team is you, the community. I rasied my family and built my business in Langley. It’s a great place to live and I want to make sure that continues well into the future. To accomplish this we need to leave council

infighting behind, and move towards good debating and respect for all opinions. Slates don’t provide that atmosphere. I am looking forward to working with a council elected by the voters, comprised of truly independent men and women who will work for the good of Langley Township without an allegiance to a political party. We see party politics in provincial and federal politics everyday. Local government functions better when each member of council works independent of party alliances. As the former mayor of Calgary and premier of Alberta, Ralph Klein puts it, “The caucus situation is much different than council. Provincial politics are adversarial. Municipal politics are concensus-building.” Do we want slate politics in Langley Township council? The voice of the individual councillor is drowned out by the will of the slate’s leader and decisions are not based on the best interests of the community.

Even with the difficulties of the past three years, I have witnessed councillors demonstrate their independence by supporting each other on some issues and then opposing the same councillors on other issues. I believe in a truly independent council with a balance of maturity, diversity and innovation, where new ideas can flourish with the best interests of the community always in mind. This is what the people of Langley want. As mayor, I will provide the leadership we so desperately need and leave the infighting and drama behind us. On Nov. 19, I ask you, the community, to join with me to vote for a council that is made up of truly independent citizens. Together, we will elect a strong and independent council which reflects the will of the community. Jack Froese, mayoral candidate, Langley Township

Fort Langley garbage cans need emptying Editor: I am all for the local committees promoting the small community that I live in. I enjoyed the activities this past B.C. Day weekend that were organized. The problem I have is this. Every weekend with a large crowd of tourists expected, starting on Victoria Day, it seems nobody plans for the The

amount of garbage generated by these people. This is the third weekend where I have had to take the overflowing bins to task. I do this because I have civic pride. Others tell me “that’s the Township’s job.” Well, where are they? What will tourists take away from their visit to our quaint little village? Will they talk

about the many ecclectic shops lining Glover Road, or the delicious lunches they enjoyed at our many restaurants, or will it be those overflowing garbage cans on the sidewalks of Fort Langley? Elmer King, Fort Langley

GREAT TREATMENT Editor: I want to say that I had the most wonderful experience at Langley Memorial Hospital on Friday, July 29. I went into the emergency ward with pains in my chest and was dealt with very quickly and courteously. I was especially impressed by the professionalism that was shown to me by the staff. I thought that every single person whom I had contact with was truly amazing, especially the doctor, Caroline, whose openness and personality put me at ease. She let me know the entire time what she thought I may have had and kept me informed. She was absolutely brilliant in setting up tests that were required and needed to be done. The nursing staff were excellent as well, and I don’t think I would have made it through my ordeal as easily as I did without them helping me along the way. I found out I had a virus on the lining of my heart (pericarditis) that day. But I was very excited that I was able to drive home the same day. With the staff at Langley Memorial Hospital doing so much and helping me, I can only say hats off to each and every one of you who helped me and put my mind at ease. I thank you all so much. Robert MacPherson, Langley

BLAZE SUCCEED Editor: I think a great story with a strong local focus would be about the 19 graduating members of the Provincial Premier Baseball League Langley Blaze. They all have post-secondary scholarships in place for next year. Eighteen of them bound for the U.S. and many of the scholarships are academic and baseball. The local members of the team include: Luke Simpson, Zach Mihic, Brad Smith, Scott McCarthy, Aaron Dick, Jeremy Filipeck and Michael Krische. Many of the boys will be getting all or part of their schooling paid for, and the scholarships range up to $128,000. Harold Krische, Langley

Now an organization (Langley Reunification Association) has started, which wants a study into the costs of joining and operating one municipality, instead of the two very costly ones currently operating in Langley. Call or e-mail your councillor and mayor to demand a referendum on this, as our standard of living is very important to Langley families. With the municipal elections in November, taxpayers should have a close look at the platforms of candidates for mayor and councillors. Who knows, somebody may be prepared to stand for election on a platform of taxpayers’ pocket books first? Then vote, as it is not justified to complain if you don’t participate.

A BRIGHT START TO THE DAY Cherrish Nohr and her team of stylists at Champers Salon in Walnut Grove spent the morning pampering six women from Ishtar Transition House on Tuesday, July 26. The women were able to have their hair cut, dyed and foiled and also received hand massages and manicures, all at no charge. This is the first time Champers in Walnut Grove has put on such an event, although Nohl has done similar ones at different salons. She says it makes for a fun morning and she hopes to do more in the future.

Using their drain brain Yellow fish a reminder to think about habitat NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Many people are unaware that polluted water that washes into outdoor drains does not end up at a treatment plant to be sanitized before being flushed into rivers and eventually the sea. In fact, water polluted by sediment, animal waste, oil or other debris washed from sidewalks and driveways, and toxic household and industrial compounds directly impact fish and their habitat. The yellow outline of a fish painted next to thousands of drains across Langley are reminders of this fact. Krya Stephens, 10, and her 12-year-old brother Matthew, know the significance of those yellow fish. “[It’s] so people can get an understanding of what they are dumping into natural streams,” Matthew said, adding that most people think that waste water goes to treatment plants. “It’s important not to do that because fish could die,” Kyra said. While their Dad was at work, Krya and Matthew spent much of Thursday with their mother,

Lisa Stephens helps her children, Kyra and Matthew, paint yellow fish by a drain near their Langley City home. Lisa, painting the yellow fish symbols near drains in the Blacklock neighbourhood of the City, where they live. The Stephens family is involved with Scouts Canada, and so their involvement in painting the iconic fish alongside storm drains acknowledges the organization’s mandate of environmental awareness, Lisa said The stencils, paint and brushes were provided by the Langley Environmental Partners Society, which is asking residents in the City and Township to join the fish painting campaign. Just how serious is the pol-

lution? It takes only one drop of motor oil to turn 50 litres of water unlivable for water species, said Lina Azeez of LEPS, which is giving prizes for the most drains marked will be awarded.

Langley to Richmond RiverBus proposed GRANT GRANGER Black Press

A few years ago Jeff Malmgren was doing some consulting work on the River District area of Vancouver just west of Boundary Road where it’s expected about 15,000 people will eventually live. He began to wonder “how are these people going to get around?” He also noticed while doing some work for the City of New Westminster on the civic centre in the midst of a burgeoning Downtown how people were beginning to reconnect with the river. So why not, he thought, go back in time and use the river to get around? The result is the Fraser RiverBus Society, and he presented his concept to the Metro Vancouver regional planning committee last Friday. “There’s no good reason why it shouldn’t work from a transportation and social point of view,” said Malmgren. “It’s only been the last 80 to 90 years that we’ve turned our backs on the river and made it a back alley. “In Australia, Asia and Europe it’s always been in place and it’s growing. In North America it’s underutilized ... It’s not only a good idea, but it’s a good idea now.” Malmgren is proposing four vessels with a projected capacity of 10,000 to 15,000 passengers per day could run up and down the river between Langley and Richmond, providing an efficient transit alternative for commuters. All the best transit links are for getting to downtown Vancouver, but there is a great deal of crosstown commuting that isn’t being served, he said. “There are more people in

Richmond who go to work in Burnaby or New Westminster than to downtown Vancouver, significantly more, and that’s not an anomaly.” Malmgren estimates there are 55,000 people who commute between the riverfront communities. “It takes a long trip on transit to get there and it goes through downtown which puts unnecessary pressure on the transit that is going downtown,” said Malmgren. Since cross-town commuting by transit is neither convenient nor comfortable it’s likely commuters will continue to use their own vehicles unless something like a RiverBus is implemented, he added. People like the speed and privacy of the car, so the RiverBus would have to offer comforts such as wireless internet, good seating, bike storage and hop on/ hop off service, along with a pleasant ride on the water. Malmgren said the vessel that seems most appropriate for a RiverBus is a hydrofoil catamaran such as those used in New York on the East River as well as Chicago and Washington, D.C. His group estimates capital costs, including vessels, land infrastructure and start up, would be between $15.65 million and $20.4 million, far less than the West Coast Express initial capital costs, which it says were $118 million. The operating cost is estimated at $1,000 an hour per vessel compared to the SeaBus, which is $675 an hour. The capital cost for waterborne transportation is always going to be significantly cheaper and so will the environmental costs, Malmgren said. “This is a really great opportunity and it is an option with very

little capital cost.” The New Westminster Quay and the pier at the foot of Kerr Street in Vancouver would be suitable for docking, said Malmgren. A stop at Fraser Foreshore Park in Burnaby would have lots of traffic because of all the industrial park offices and warehouses in the area. Other landings could be in Fort Langley, Maple Ridge, Port Coquitlam and the River Rock Casino and Canada Line in Richmond. According to Malmgren, at last Friday’s meeting the Metro Vancouver directors were curious and asked a lot of questions. The committee— which includes Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, the committee’s chair, and New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright— asked the regional district’s staff to investigate the proposal. “I thought there was some merit in it,” said Wright, who admitted his reaction was one of the more positive ones from directors at the meeting. It makes some sense for New Westminster and Richmond, he said, because of the proximity of SkyTrain stations. Wright said the proposal “is a bit too much” and suggested Malmgren work on a scaled back option. The society’s numbers need to be vetted and some research done to see just what might be viable, he added. “You have to have the amounts of people, otherwise you don’t make money because there’s just not enough usage yet,” said Wright. When he visits Sydney, Australia, where he lived for two years, Wright takes water buses all the time. But the population base around the water there is much higher than on the Fraser River, he said.

Another Township politician has warned that Green’s slate of running mates is bad news for Langley. “Slates have been controversial and taken the Township in wrong directions,” said Councillor Kim Richter. “Electing slates has never worked well in the Township and residents “have never been well served by slates,” she added. “It is always wise to ensure that council has checks and balances. Councillors are not servants of the mayor (and) when you support a mayor’s slate, you provide that mayor with a blank cheque,” Richter said.

A new accord to limit and shape growth across Metro Vancouver for the next 30 years is now in effect after the only holdout city — Coquitlam — dropped its objections and signed on. The new regional growth strategy was adopted July 29 and replaces the former Livable Region Strategic Plan. It should be more enforceable, requiring cities to concentrate dense development within an urban containment boundary that protects farmland, low-density rural areas and green space from sprawl. But the key changes are new rules to limit the redevelopment of industrial land into condos and stem the rapid proliferation of suburban office parks in areas hard to serve with transit. “That imposes tremendous public costs,” Burnaby Mayor and Metro regional planning chair Derek Corrigan said. Inefficient development undercuts transit use and increases road congestion and air pollution, he said, increasing public costs in other ways. Critics, including some Coquitlam reps, had argued the plan is regional in name only because Metro granted too much flexibility to each city to gain their

support. That means, for example, golf courses are protected as green space in some cities but available for redevelopment in others. A committee of regional planners is to determine within a year whether to recommend changes to make the plan more consistent. Corrigan conceded the new protections to preserve land for industry and to slow office-park sprawl could have been stronger. “It was a hard battle to make the gains we did make,” he said. “But these gains were a great stride forward from our 1996 plan.” A citizens’ watchdog group said the land-use deal was drawn up with little public awareness as planners in each city customized how it would apply locally. Most disappointed will be a coalition of business groups that wanted looser development rules, since most of the land base is already protected by the Agricultural Land Reserve or other designations. The Business Coalition for a Sustainable Region feared more red tape on development would stifle job growth and constrict the shipment of goods through the growing Pacific Gateway. Metro and Coquitlam seemed headed for arbitration over the impasse, but Coquitlam reps backed down after mediated talks.

Had Coquitlam kept its heels dug in, the delay might have made the growth strategy a political football in November’s civic election, unravelling the agreement. Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said a couple of councillors still don’t support the plan and he also has concerns. “The region has gone to great lengths to accede to the wishes of each community,” Stewart said. “It’s better than nothing but it has some significant shortcomings. Those of us who believe in regional planning might perceive that this isn’t regional planning.” The strategy was ratified by all 20 cities, the Tsawwassen First Nation, TransLink and both neighbouring regional districts after several years of work, three sets of consultations and dozens of public meetings. Port Moody only signed after it was exempted from meeting its population growth targets until after the Evergreen Line is built. Metro planners predict the region will attract a million more residents over the next three decades and the plan aims to accommodate them without sacrificing farmland and green space. The vision is to build compact urban communities where residents can more easily walk, bike or take transit from home to where they work, study or play.

In April, The Times published an article naming Bell Mobility as the builder of a cell phone structure in the 23500 block of 40 Avenue. The statement was based on written information given to Township council by a local resident. Council had twice refused to

endorse Bell’s plan to erect a 164-foot monopole at the location, and, despite the Township’s position and residents’ opposition, the application to build a cell phone tower was approved by Industry Canada. However, the builder was not Bell, which withdrew from the proposal.

‘A dream come true’ for Coleman Local BBQ team Grand opening for Mobil 1 Lube Express Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The brand new Mobil 1 Lube Express, located at the corner of 200 Street and 64Avenue, features warranty-approved oil changes and the province’s most environmentally-friendly car wash. For shop co-owner Adam Coleman, the business is a dream come true. “I’ve always wanted to run my own business,” said Coleman, a journeyman automotive technician with dealership and heavy equipment experience. “The problem for a lot of good trades workers is that you become too valuable to your company to promote. You become almost irreplaceable, so you need to strike out on your own in order to move up.” Coleman, 30, is married and grew up in Aldergrove. He has served for 13 years and continues to serve as a Reserve member of the Canadian Forces. His military service includes the Canadian Decoration for Honourable Service and a tour of duty in Afghanistan. He is the son of Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman.

tops in Canada

When it comes to barbecuing, Angie Quaale and David Gassaway proved to be the best in Canada. Well Seasoned and The Canada Q Crew were competing in Whistler over the weekend at the Canadian national barbecue championships. Up against 40 other competitive barbeque teams at Canada’s largest competition, Quaale and Gassaway were tops among Canadian entries, and second overall, losing only to Washington’s Wine Country Q, who claimed the grand champions spot. Well Seasoned and The Canada Q Crew won the reserve champion title, the first time they have accomplished the feat. Last year, the team won the grand championship at Kelowna’s Smoke on the Water competition. “It’s quite an honour to be recognized as the best team in Canada, especially when the calibre of our competitors is so high,” said Quaale, the team’s BBQ pitmaster. “The Whistler event attracts the best of the best and now we really can say we’re one of them.” She is also the owner of Well Seasoned gourmet food store and cooking school in Langley and the founder of the annual Well Seasoned BBQ on the Bypass, Greater Vancouver’s largest barbecue competition which will take place on Sunday, September 18th.

Kwantlen boasts high percentages A recent survey of Kwantlen Polytechnic University graduates shows that 87 per cent of students found work within four months of graduation, and of that number, 44 per cent found employment within a month of graduation, including some who were recruited even before completing their studies. Part of the continued success comes from the

real world applicability of Kwantlen’s courses and a rigorous commitment to teaching analytical and strategic thinking along with the practical day-today skills needed to execute projects. Added to this mix is an engaged co-op program designed to both help students sell themselves on paper and to connect them directly with employers looking to hire

in the business world. It’s all part and parcel of a real-world education, which connects the industry leaders with grads who understand their needs and have the skills to get the job done. “I chose Kwantlen because I wanted a school that combines classroom learning with hands-on experience,” says Janna Rudetsky, a graduate of Kwantlen’s Bachelor of

Song Family Chiropractic Multi Disciplinary Clinic with chiropractic care, laser therapy orthotics & massage therapy.

Business Administration, Accounting. “Through my Co-op experience I learned employable skills and got great career support from my instructors, which was instrumental in landing my first real job.” Rudetsky is currently employed in the Property Tax and Utility Department at the City of Surrey.

All-Stars off to nationals GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Prior to their semifinal game against Little Mountain on Saturday, the Langley Majors All-Stars were paid a visit by the man who managed the team the only time Langley has made the 11/12 World Series. Brian Sargent spoke to the team and talked about his Langley Baseball squad which represented Canada at the 1998 Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. No Langley team has made it that far since then, although the 2004 squad did make it to the national championships but lost in the semifinals. “It was very inspirational,” said Langley manager Dean Cantelon, about listening to Sargent talk about photos courtesy of Gordon Lee photography his squad.

‘Screw you’ attitude leads team to victory GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Playing with what they called a ‘screw you attitude’, the Langley Blaze captured the provincial U18 baseball championship over the weekend. The attitude stemmed from the fact the B.C. Premier Baseball League had docked the U18 squad a dozen games last month after the Blaze were found to have used ineligible players for a 17 game span (they went 12-5 during that time). The decision knocked the team from first place to needing to win their last couple of games to sneak into the post-season. The Blaze made the playoffs as the sixth seed with a 25-23 record and knocked off the third-seed Parksville Royals to make this past weekend’s PBL final four championships at Nat Bailey Stadium. And from there, the team rode some outstanding pitching — they allowed just a single run over the three games — to claim the championship. In the final, they beat the Coquitlam Reds 6-0. “We wanted to face them, we cheered for them to make it,” said Blaze coach Jamie Bodaly. There is a history of animosity between the two organizations and it was the Reds who filed the protest against Langley, resulting in the team forfeiting a dozen victories. “We stayed classy, we just wanted to beat them on the field,” Bodaly said. At the final four championships, the Blaze knocked off top seed Nanaimo 2-0 to start the double knockout tournament. And Bodaly said once they had that victory under their belts, the team’s confidence skyrocketed. “We had that ‘screw you’ attitude and the guys were fired up,” he said. “They really wanted to win and after that first game, we knew we kind of had it.” In the semifinals, with a berth straight to the finals at stake, Langley beat Victoria 6-1. Coquitlam, who had already eliminated Nanaimo, earned the right to face the Blaze after they knocked off Victoria. In the final, the teams were scoreless until the fifth when Langley put the game away with a big inning. “We had a few jams, but our pitching got us out of it,” Bodaly said, adding the team was confident since they had plenty of arms ready to go in case Coquitlam won and forced one more game. The Blaze, who had the lowest earned run average during the regular season, once again rode pitching to the championship.

The Abbotsford Heat announced Ryan Walter as their new team president at a press conference on Tuesday morning. “He brings us up a level, and we’re really excited about him,” said Lane Sweeting, a member of the Heat’s local ownership group. “He’s an icon in the hockey world, and he’s an icon in the Fraser Valley.” The 53-year-old Walter has lived in Langley since the tail-end of his 15-year NHL career, which ended with the Vancouver Canucks. He was a first round pick of the Washington Capitals (second overall) and also played for the Montreal Canadiens, where he won the 1986 Stanley Cup. He served as a Canucks assistant coach under Alain Vigneault for two seasons (2008 to 2010), and coached the Canadian women’s hockey team to a gold medal at the 2010 Four Nations Cup. Walter holds a masters degree in leadership from Trinity Western University, and is an author and motivational speaker. Walter said he’s thrilled with his new job because he believes it suits his skill set, and allows him to remain involved in the game he loves. “This is a beautiful opportunity,” he said. “When you look at the quality of the people, the quality of the building, the quality of the American Hockey League, I get very excited about that. “I’m excited to get going. I know there’s a lot of work ahead — I can sense that already.”

Raiders rock Rams in opener Through three quarters, the Langley Rams played the Vancouver Island Raiders — the fivetime defending league champs — tough. But in the end, the Raiders pulled away with a couple of late touchdowns to down the Rams 39-13 on Saturday night at McLeod Park in the B.C. Junior Football Conference season opener. “We just ran out of gas in the fourth,” said Rams coach Jeff Alamalhoda. “The game itself actually ended up being a lot closer than what showed on the scoreboard. In the end, the Raiders proved too much for the Rams, gaining 464 yards of net offence compared to Langley’s 130. The score was 22-13 late in the third quarter but the Raiders tacked on a field goal and then two touchdown passes from Jordan Yantz to Andrew Smith in the fourth. One bright spot for the Rams was Nick Downey, who returned a second quarter kickoff for 107 yards,

The Rams are in Kelowna on Saturday to face the Okanagan Sun, with the teams completing the homeand-home series on Aug. 13 at McLeod Park.

Langley Jr. Blaze pitcher Liam Stroud delivers a pitch during the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League championship game on Sunday at Nanaimo’s Serauxman Stadium.

A dominant season came one game short of a championship. The Langley Jr. Blaze lost 3-1 in Sunday’s B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League championship final against the North Delta Jr. Blue Jays at Nanaimo’s Serauxman Stadium. The Blaze were the top seed after an impressive regular season where they went 41-7. But in the final, they fell behind 3-0 and could only manage the single run on an RBI from Tanner Shaer. Second seed North Delta (36-12) only managed four hits, but also drew six walks. Langley went 3-0 in the round robin to win their pool. They defeated Okanagan 3-1, won 4-1 over Abbotsford and 5-3 against Nanaimo.

Langley escapes jam at end from PAGE 33

The score remained 4-2 until the sixth inning when Ian Burns’ single scored Yi An Pan and then Cole Cantelon scored on a wild pitch. Hastings did get runners on second and third, but failed to cash either one in to end the game. As a team, Langley

hit .330, led by Burns’ .435 and Cantelon’s .417 batting averages. Trevor Alcos and Nick Atkinson both hit .333. McCreath and Yi An Pan led the team with seven RBIs apiece and Miller had six. Yi An Pan also had two home runs and Langley hit five as a team. On the mound, Yi

Fan Pan picked up two of the team’s seven wins and along with his brother, led the way with 11 strikeouts apiece. Cantelon did not allow a single earned run over his seven innings pitched. And Colby Ring picked up the team’s one save it needed during the week-long tournament.

Brett Dobray finished tied for the tournament lead in scoring as the Langley Thunder captured bronze at the B.C. intermediate lacrosse provincial championships over the weekend in New Westminster. He was also selected to the tournament all-star team. Dobray scored five goals in the third-place game and Giulio de Bianco made 55 saves in the 10-9 overtime win over the Richmond Roadrunners. The Thunder scored in the last minute of regulation just to force overtime. Langley went 1-2 in the round robin, beating Richmond 9-6, and losing 17-7 to Coquitlam and 11-9 to New Westminster. New West won gold over Coquitlam. Langley was the lowest seed among the four teams. ••••• Six goals in the middle period for the Langley Thunder turned a onegoal deficit into enough of cushion to withstand the Victoria Shamrocks. The result was a 9-7 victory in game one of the best-of-seven Western Lacrosse Association semifinal playoff series on Tuesday night in Victoria. Game two is tonight (Thursday) at the Langley Events Centre. Athan Iannucci paced the Thunder attack with four goals, while Brodie MacDonald made 39 saves. For more, visit www.langleytimes.com.

Extend Your Vehicle's Life Between bad road conditions and long idling times, winter driving causes a lot of wear and tear on your vehicle. Summer maintenance is the best way to help your car recover. A good rule of thumb is that a change of season equals a change of oil. Changing your car's oil and filter every three months or 5,000 kms, whichever comes first, will ensure that your car operates at peak efficiency. Changing oil regularly is the single most important thing that can be done to extend the life of your vehicle and keep it running smoothly.

FREE Brake Inspections and "Limited Lifetime Warranty"

CAR CARE & REPAIR Electrics always cheaper to refuel It is always cheaper to recharge an EV than to fuel a conventional gas-powered vehicle, according to a new study released by Northeast Group, LLC a U.S.-based survey firm. The study benchmarked and analyzed the first wave of EV-specific tariffs launched by electric utilities across the United States. “In all scenarios we studied, the costs to recharge an electric vehicle were cheaper than fueling a gasoline-powered car,” a spokesman stated. “In the most likely EV charging scenarios, costs were approximately one-tenth to half the costs of fueling a conventional vehicle with gasoline.” Electric utilities in the US are encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles by rolling out EVspecific tariffs to their customers. These tariffs take different forms, ranging from time-of-use (TOU) tariffs to flat rate tariffs. With the TOU tariffs, customers receive cheaper rates when they charge during off-peak times (typically nights and weekends).
