Green won’t be ‘intimidated out of office’ Mayor more determined than ever not to step aside NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
Mayor Rick Green says he will not step down while a special prosecutor reviews an RCMP investigation into events alleged to have occurred in September, 2010. Asked if he would temporarily step aside, Green said, “Heavens, no,” adding that “it blows me away that there would be people in the community who would suggest such a thing.” Green said that the allegation is that a provincial statute was breached. “It’s not a

It’s Langley politics and that’s what this is about.” David Crossin is the special prosecutor appointed by Assistant Deputy Attorney General Robert Gillen. In a statement last week, the Criminal Justice Department in Victoria said: “Given the position of Mr. Green, as well as the complainants and potential witnesses in the case, Mr. Gillen concluded that it was appropriate to appoint a special prosecutor.” It will be up to Crossin whether to charge the mayor and if a charge arises, he will handle the prosecution and any subsequent appeal.

The second of two men charged in the savage beating of a Langley man has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of unlawful confinement. The plea was entered by 24-year-old Wesley Edward Kelemen following a two-week evidence hearing at B.C. Supreme Court trial in New Westminster. Kelemen was originally charged with aggravated assault in the 2009 attack that sent 29-year-old Tyler Willock to hospital with multiple fractures. The other man arrested in the case, 24-year-old Albert Jacob Jackman, pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated assault and one count of unlawful confinement at the start of the evidence hearing on Monday, June 13. A sentencing hearing for both men has been scheduled for Wednesday, July 6. Willock was reportedly attacked with a sledgehammer and suffered multiple fractures and puncture wounds to his arms and legs that required extensive surgery and a lengthy hospital stay.
Two-year jail sentence for deadly crash NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
A Langley man has been jailed for two years after he was convicted on June 21 of dangerous driving causing the death of Noel Desrochers on April 19, 2008. On his release, Corey Michael Elliott, 36, will be prohibited from driving for three years and placed on probation for two years. He was also fined $400. Elliott was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee westbound in the 21000 block of 48 Avenue when he rear-ended a 1979 Ford
Fairmont driven by the 62-year-old Desrochers. The collision, which occurred at about 10:20 p.m., forced the Fairmont off the road where it overturned. Desrochers, who was alone, died at the scene. According to Langley RCMP, the Fairmont sustained extensive rear end damage, while part of the front bumper of the Cherokee, including the licence plate, was torn off the vehicle and left at the scene. Langley RCMP spokesman Cpl. Holly Marks recounted that immediately after the collision, an
on duty security guard noticed the badly damaged Cherokee which was steaming and trailing fluids. The guard followed the trail to a residence in the 20300 block of 43 Avenue. Elliott was arrested at 8:30 a.m. the following day. Elliott was originally charged with dangerous driving causing death, failing to stop at the scene of an accident and dangerous driving. A stay of proceedings was entered on the last two charges. The crash occurred in a year during which 15 people died on Langley roads.
A 16th casualty was Silas O’Brien who was struck and killed in a hit-and-run incident on March 13, 2008. That case, police said at the time, was being investigated by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, and for that reason was not included as a traffic death. O’Brien, 21, was killed moments after the pickup truck in which he and two friends were traveling westbound on 16 Avenue was forced off the road by a Ford F250 pickup truck. Police allege that the driver of the Ford then turned around and
drove his vehicle towards O’Brien and his friends, Sam Dooley and Luke Stevens, who had all climbed safely out of their ditched vehicle. Dooley and Stevens managed to jump out of the way, but O’Brien was struck. He died at the scene. The incident occurred in the 25800 block of 16 Avenue at 2:30 a.m. on March 13 as the three friends were driving to Seattle to catch a flight to Hawaii. Brent Donald Parent of Langley has been charged in O’Brien’s death. His trial opens on Sept. 12 in B.C. Supreme Court, New Westminster.

Obsessions
A passion for Wine & Food by Theresa Harrett Wine Consultant Langley Liquor Store Located at Fraser Crossing Mall
www.wineobsessions.com m Patio Whites and BBQ Reds On your mark ..get set..GO! Summer is here at last and even if it hasn’t started out as the hottest on record, I am still going to enjoy every moment with feet up, glass in hand, eagerly awaiting the mouth watering aromas from the BBQ. My door has always represented itself as a swinging gate to friends and family and now more than ever. So this is dedicated to all of you and anyone lucky enough to garner an invitation to a BBQ this season as well as a reminder to those of us who have them. As a host or hostess the first challenge is creating the menu, the second is pairing the wines. I often suggest creating a signature cocktail to break the ice and this time of year there is nothing more refreshing than a Watermelon Martini. A quick and easy recipe is 2 parts Vodka, 1 part Marie Brizard Watermelon Liquor, 2 parts strawberry-kiwi juice or for a little less calories..( crystal lite strawberry-kiwi flavored water ). For garnish, I prefer the mini seedless watermelons that you can pick up at most grocery stores. Cut into 2 inch pieces and place into the martini glasses. Grab your martini shaker fill it with ice, add the first three ingredients, shake and strain into the watermelon enriched stem wear and serve. Be sure to tell your guests that it is an icebreaker or you will be making them all night long. As a guest, you do not have to dig too deeply into your wallet to contribute a fabulous wine that everyone will enjoy. The tricky bit is finding out what’s for dinner. When that isn’t possible, check out my suggestions for wines that effortlessly cross over. Back to the host/hostess, B.C. whites by this time have all secured their spot for the season so finding them should not be a problem. If your guests are from out of town there is no better time to showcase our wines including those that are bottled right here in our backyard. Yes, I am referring to Langley and their award winners garnering respect worldwide. Check out Township 7 Blanc or the surprisingly scrumptious Rivers Bend 2009 Cab-Merlot blend and you will see what I mean. I have always said that if you squeeze lemon or lime on your food, then serving that dish with a white wine boasting of stone fruit and citrus is a good idea. I especially love Wild Goose Pinot Gris and will never forget the lunch that was saved by this wine. Beautiful aromatic whites including unoaked Chardonnay is fabulous with kabobs loaded with pork, seafood or chicken. A hearty red is a warm invitation to big juicy BBQ’d steaks or it’s slow roasted companion on the rotisserie. My guests and I recently enjoyed the combination of seasoned prime rib with Carmen Cabernet Sauvignon and for those preferring white wine I have always found Kettle Valley Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc lends itself perfectly to most dishes. Over to the guests, even if you have been told to bring nothing..do it anyway! Flowers or wine go a long way to the person that has spent their day working on the perfect evening and it may earn you another invitation in the future. I would recommend a palate friendly white or red that can be used for both socializing before dinner or served with the meal. If you are unfamiliar with the preferred choice of your host/hostess stick to un-wooded whites such as Joie’s un-oaked Chardonnay or a more moderately priced version, McLarens on the Lake boasting of guava, peach and melon complemented by citrus and apple flavors. As for the red, Cabernet Sauvignon is always a winner at any BBQ feast. Other grape varietals include Shiraz, Syrah, Malbec and Merlot all of which can be found in most affordable price ranges. If you come in and see me, I would be happy to suggest some of my favorites and still keep within your budget - after all you’re not paying for dinner.
So join us over at the Langley Liquor Store Unit 5 - 20811 Fraser Crossing Mall.

Langley men demonstrate how not to conduct a crime spree Police follow suspects from Colossus theatre parking lot to Burnaby DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
Two break and enter artists didn’t discover the police were on their tail until their third theft of the evening. That was when they both got out of the truck they were using as a getaway vehicle long enough for members of the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT) to make a safe
arrest. The undercover officers spotted the pair driving a Ford pickup truck with stolen plates in the Colossus Theatre parking lot shortly after midnight on Wednesday, June 22. When one of them got out and broke into a parked vehicle, the officers did not intervene because the driver of the truck could have tried to flee, provoking a potentially hazardous pursuit. The IHIT officers followed the suspects to the Walnut Grove area where an insurance company was robbed by smashing out the front window with a crowbar. The two then drove to Burnaby where they tried to break into a Subway restaurant in the 5000 block of Canada Way by
again trying to smash out a front window with a crowbar. This time, they both got out of the truck and were far enough from it for the police to move in. There was a chase, but it was on foot and it was over quickly. Now charged with two counts of break and enter,theft, possession of stolen property, possession of break-in instruments, and driving while disqualified is 22-yearold Cody John Ball of langley And charged with two counts of break and enter, theft and possession of a prohibited weapon is 19-year-old Daniel Josiah Wagemans, also of Langley. Both were said to be well known to police.
B&Es down, robberies up in Langleys NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
Supt. Derek Cooke
Supt. Derek Cooke, the officer in charge of Langley RCMP detachment, delivered good news with the bad when he gave his quarterly report to Township council recently. The good news was that in several categories, crime is down, in some cases significantly. The bad is that in a trio of categories, including robbery, crime was up.
The most significant drop in crime in the Township was in B and Es which were down by 60 per cent. The theft of vehicles fell by 34 per cent, business break and enters were down by 27 per cent, and drug offences by 12 per cent. Incidences of theft from vehicles fell by six per cent. The figures compare crimes in the first three months of this year to the corresponding months of 2010. Between Jan. 1 and March 31

this year, there were 23 robberies, an increase of 53 per cent. Residential break-ins (91 compared to 86), rose by six per cent. The increase in crimes of violence, such as assault, was up six per cent, from 292 to 309 cases. “That is a significant concern to me,” Cooke said. Among the strategic initiatives to make an even larger dent in crimes is to reduce drug and gang activity, and improve road safety and communication.

Concrete plant polluting air, says physician Dr. Mitchell Fagan says manufacturing facility raising dust in area set for residential development NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
A local doctor told a public hearing into a high-density residential development on the outskirts of Murrayville that dust particles from a concrete manufacturing plant are polluting the air. Dr. Mitchell Fagan charged that no consideration has been given to the potential
for health problems for the possibly 1,000 people who will move to the development, should Township council approve the rezoning application. The public hearing, held on June 20, heard from residents who say that the plan has inadequate parking, is too far from bus stops and public amenities such as a library are not in walking distance. Sandhill Developments plans to build a mix of 210 duplexes, townhouses, stacked townhouses and apartments for seniors, and another 100 units for the general market. Fagan, who said he lives approximately one kilometre from the site of the proposed development at 228 Street and 48 Avenue, told council that he can collect concrete particles from inside his home.

The air quality is a “huge issue” and one that he has raised before with the Township. He is still waiting for answers. The concrete residue is apparently coming from Fraserway Precast, 22765 Fraser Hwy. Ray Robb, Metro Vancouver regulatory and enforcement division manager, said that his department learned of the problem when the Township passed on residents’ concerns in July, 2010. Metro Vancouver officials inspected the plant later that month “and observed non-compliance with regulations that are intended to protect air quality from concrete facilities,” Robb said. In a letter to Fraser Precast in August, 2010, Metro Vancouver spelled out what the non-compliance issues were and were
given an assurance that they intended to comply, Robb said. “They have done a few things,” he said. These include paving a lot that was previously covered in gravel, and applying dust compressants. “They have a number of things. They still are not all the way there but they are close,” Robb added. “They have told us that they can get it done in three to four weeks,” he said on June 23. Township administrator Mark Bakken said that the Township has notified all appropriate government authorities. “As we do not have jurisdiction over air quality and streams, creeks and rivers, we are making them aware of the situation,” he said.

Heightened interest
Little sympathy
I
t appears there will be heightened interest in running for office in this fall’s municipal election. As of June 30, The Times was aware of at least 15 candidates who have announced or are likely to run for Township council. This is a much higher number than is the case in most election years. The last time there was this much interest at the beginning of the summer season was in 1999. That year, 43 per cent of the electorate came out to vote in November. This is more than twice the turnout than has been recorded in every election since that time. There is also likely to be heightened interest in elections for the Langley Board of Education this fall, given some of the controversies swirling in the school district. It is also possible that there may be more candidates for Langley City council, although there has been minimal controversy there, as compared to Township council and the board of education. It isn’t too early for Langley residents to take an interest in those who are putting their names forward. One candidate for Township council, Michelle Sparrow, is hosting an event at West Langley Community Hall on July 10, where residents can get a chance to talk with her and find out about some local issues. This is a great opportunity, and hopefully other candidates will take a similar approach. The Times is looking at new ways in which it can give potential voters more information about those who are running. One of the factors that prevents some people from voting is their feeling that they don’t know enough about the candidates. This newspaper will do all it can to provide detailed information about candidates. Municipal elections may well be overshadowed by a provincial election this fall. If the HST referendum passes, it is quite likely that Premier Christy Clark will ignore B.C.’s fixed election date law and call an election for September or October. If she does, almost all of the attention paid to the political scene by many media outlets, the Internet and the public will be focused on the provincial race. The later that election date is, the more it will overshadow the municipal elections, which are set for Saturday, Nov. 19. However, The Times will devote as much space as possible to the municipal campaign, in both the newspaper and on the website, www. langleytimes.com. This newspaper will do all it can to help encourage potential voters to show up at the polls on Nov. 19.

ostal workers can complain all they want about a tough contract stance from management. They can rage about the federal government introducing back-to-work legislation. What they cannot do is reasonably expect much sympathy from many of their fellow Canadian workers. Yes, the Harper government is no fan of unions, but public-sector (taxpayer-funded) government employees have enjoyed for many years higher wages and better benefits than similar workers in the private sector have. The disparity between the two groups has grown in recent years as bumpy economic conditions, increased competition from lowerpaid workers in other countries and heightened corporate desire for profits has eroded private-sector wages and benefits. People working for private companies have endured wage freezes and/or rollbacks, layoffs and the erosion of benefits. It’s worth noting that, while only 25 per cent of private-sector workers have workplace pension plans, 80 per cent of their public-sector counterparts do. The galling thing for Canadians who do not belong to a government union is that their tax dollars are used to give public-sector union members higher wages and better benefits than they have. The postal unions were one of the most aggressive decades ago in better economic times at carving out high wages and benefits. These days, CUPW and other federal government unions can expect no sympathy from the public or the Conservatives for the next several years of its majority government. The Harper government is taking a bold step during a contract negotiation period — unlike the B.C. Liberals several years ago — by getting so directly involved in a contract dispute. Expect more of the same, though. The pushback has begun. —Comox Valley Record The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

IT’S PATRONAGE
Some good reasons to vote ‘no’ Editor: No one likes to pay taxes. No one likes it either when a tax is imposed by questionable means. And no one likes it when previously untaxed goods are taxed. Naturally, then, many are inclined to vote “yes” in the upcoming referendum and extinguish the HST. This is a time, however, to vote with our minds and not our ill will towards taxes, the long-governing Liberals, or our past premier. Seldom in the area of public policy does a truly smart tax come along. The HST is a good tax for several reasons. First, it replaces a very inefficient tax: the PST. The PST was administered at each stage of production, and was a complicated tax that forced firms to devote days towards determining its applicability and application. The PST, by taxing each stage of production, ended up “taxing taxes” with the result that many final products were more expensive than under the HST, which is administered only once.
True enough, the consumer didn’t see a line on the receipt that said “PST,” but those taxes were built into the final price. Studies of other jurisdictions (including other provinces) that have introduced the HST show that some prices rise a little, others fall, and the overall effect on price levels is minimal. Second, the HST is an efficient tax. The efficiency comes from two sources. On the one hand, collection is now done by the federal government through the same bureaucracy that administers the GST. Across the country, this means an enormous reduction in the cost of raising tax revenues. On the other hand, by taxing all goods and services, the HST does not distort relative prices in the economy. This is a difficult point to understand. Prices act as signals in a market to direct production and consumption. When only some goods are taxed, the wrong signals are sent, the wrong goods and services get produced, and overall economic welfare is reduced. The HST helps to main-
tain good signals. Third, not only did the province receive $1.6 billion to introduce the tax (which may have to be paid back to the federal government with a successful “no” vote), the costs of switching back are now estimated at $300 million. By rejecting the HST we reject an eventual lower total tax rate of 10 per cent, and we shoot ourselves in the foot twice by reintroducing a bad form of taxation. The HST won’t hurt the poor (low income families receive an HST credit of $230 per year per person), and it won’t fall more on seniors. As the rest of the world moves towards value added taxes like the HST, we would be foolish to lag behind with a dinosaur tax system. As an economist, I would advocate voting “no” in the coming referendum. Douglas W. Allen, Professor of Economics Simon Fraser University.
HST won’t hit 10 per cent until 2014 Editor: I am a second-year student at the University of the Fraser Valley and I have found the debate about the HST extremely confusing. The advertisements presented by the government on TV are vague in their statement that “HST will be cut from 12 per cent to 10 per cent.” I looked at their website, and found the key information that they kept out of their ads: if the HST is retained by voters, the government will lower the tax from 12 per cent this year to 11 per cent in 2012. It will not reach 10 per cent until 2014. Having until recently only watched the TV ads, I presumed that if the HST was to
continue, the tax would go straight from the current 12 per cent to 10 per cent within this year. It is my belief that this information was purposely kept from the TV ads so that people like myself would not know the entire arrangement, if they were simply watching the campaigning on TV. I agree with A. Crawford’s letter (The Times, June 28). The HST does not help families any more than the GST+PST because, as Crawford stated, the GST would not apply to many items those families would buy. The website provided by the government
says the government will be “providing a one time transitional payment to families with children and lower income seniors” as part of their changes to the Harmonized Sales Tax. This is a blatant bribe that doesn’t recuperate the amount that those families have paid with a 12 per cent HST tax rather than the seven per cent PST under the older system. I will be voting “yes” in this referendum, as I believe that the HST in not assisting the average British Columbian in saving money. Caroline Dearden, Langley
Don’t leave children alone in hot vehicles Editor: On the first day of summer, it’s warm and sunny, the thermometer in my car reads 20 degrees Celsius. I pull into in the HomeSense parking lot I start to get out of my car when to my utter disgust I see a young child, about four years old, strapped into his car seat. All the windows are rolled up and he has been left alone. Who does this? I sat for a moment wondering what I should do? It was literally only
one to two minutes as I sat and realized that it was getting too warm in the car for me, so I dialed 911 on my cell phone. I explained to the 911 operator what was happening just as the mother approached the car, without a care in the world. Immediately she rolled down the windows. It was obviously too warm for her. As I began my descriptionto the 911 operator of the car, mother, and licence plate,
she drove away. Parents, please, do not leave your children unattended, and never do so in a car during warmer months. When it is 20 degrees Celsius, the interior of your car could reach temperatures of over 33 Celsius in just a few minutes. What a tragedy this would have been for this little boy and his family, had she not returned in time. Glenda Johnston, Langley
Editor: I must take exception to your editorial comment (The Times, June 28), praising the appointment of Gordon Campbell to the position of High Commissioner to Great Britain. No, I am not holding a provincial political grudge. The fact of the matter is, the man is a convicted felon. He was convicted of impaired driving in 2004. He lied so often to the people of this province, he was finally forced to resign in disgrace. (Can you say HST?) To appoint such a person to this lofty position also tells me something about his buddy, Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Sadly, in my opinion, this is nothing more than one ultra-right winger appointing another ultra-right winger to a cushy job. It’s political patronage, at its worst. Jack McEwen, Langley
CONCERT A SUCCESS Editor: A wonderful concert was held on May 28 at Sharon United Church, where over $1,200 was raised to help people in Japan after the earthquake and tsunami. The audience of more than 100 people enjoyed the performances of several talented members of the United Churches of Langley, as well as the newly-formed Kwantlen Alumni Symphonic Wind Ensemble. Thirty-three members of this ensemble, under the direction of Dr. Wayne Jeffrey, played some beautiful music, including selections from Rossini’s Barber of Seville, Molly on the Shore by Percy Grainger and O Magnum Mysterium by Morten Lauridsen. The vocalists offered a variety of songs including the well known Over the Rainbow, Panis Angelicus and Call Me Irresponsible and a charming comedy number, Oh What a Difference Since the Hydro Came. At the conclusion of the concert light refreshments were served as the audience had the opportunity to meet and greet the performers. Maureen Burgess, for the United Churches of Langley
Province wants to hear from public on farm residences Editor: The places we live and work are important to all of us, but possibly none more so than communities with a rich agricultural tradition. These communities produce the food British Columbia families rely on, contribute to jobs we depend on, and are home to countless families, friends and neighbours. And like all communities, residents in them are concerned about how their neighbourhoods look and feel, and want to ensure potential developments lead to positive change. The Ministry of Agriculture is inviting British Columbians to comment on possible guidelines for residence size and location on properties in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). We have been consulting with local governments, farmers, producers, and realtors on the matter, and also want to hear from the public. For an easy way to provide your opinion on whether residences and their amenities The
in the ALR should be subject to size and location limits, visit: http://www.agf.gov. bc.ca/resmgmt/sf/residential_uses_in_ALR_ consultation/index.htm Your feedback is part of a process to help develop a provincial standard that will help guide local governments throughout the province. Although the ALR is a provincially designated zone, the regulation of residential buildings within it is primarily determined by the city or municipality in which it lies. A provincial guideline would provide a foundation for consistent decision-making, while leaving enough flexibility for local governments to consider their community’s specific issues and needs or the details of a specific property. With a rapidly-growing population and a quality of life in B.C. among the highest in the world, ALR land near our largest urban centres is under increasing pressure for uses other than farming. Both local and
provincial governments want to hear your views regarding large estate-style homes on property designated as ALR land. One school of thought suggests this type of home should be strategically placed so as to maintain the agricultural potential of the land. Others feel property owners can do as they please. What are your views? We all benefit from sharing ideas and working together, which is why open government and citizen engagement is so important. I encourage you to participate
in the ALR Residential Guidelines Survey because we want to hear your thoughts and opinions. You can participate by visiting the Internet address above, or by clicking on the “ALR Residential Guidelines Survey” button in the top right corner of this website: www.agf.gov.bc.ca The survey is open until Thursday, July 14. Don McRae, Minister of Agriculture
Don’t use handicapped spots Editor: This is a plea to people not to park in handicapped parking spots unless they have the proper permits. I am a 49-year-old woman with multiple sclerosis, and I need to park close to stores, as I don’t walk well. I walk with a cane and also use a scooter. When I see an able-bodied person in a
handicapped slot, and ask them why they parked there, they tell me “I was only there for a few seconds” or “I was really quick.” Today we need that parking spot. Tomorrow, you might. J. Olson, Langley

For Anthony Iliev, holding a tennis racquet is about as natural as breathing and walking. Having played tennis since the age of five, the 16-year-old student has now decided to use his passion to help those with disabilities experience the love of the game as well. Partnering with the B.C.Wheelchair Sports Association, the teen has created Aces on Wheels, a program designed to give tennis lessons in Abbotsford and Langley to those in wheelchairs. The idea came about last spring, after his friend in a wheelchair had come out to watch almost every single practice and game. Anthony became determined to find a way for him to play, too. With no formal wheelchair tennis groups out in the Valley, he got out his pen and paper and outlined his own. He then contacted the BC Wheelchair Sports Association with his idea and was thrilled when it was approved. And so Aces on Wheels was born. Anthony took a training course to become a certified wheelchair tennis instructor and is now going to volunteer summer lessons through his program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great sport for fitness and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to the mental side,â&#x20AC;? said Anthony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes you feel better about yourself and makes you feel good about yourself.

Pepper spray incident at Staples Woman arrested after confrontation with employees on Thursday afternoon DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
Three employees of the Langley Staples store on Willowbrook Drive East were treated for exposure to pepper spray following an incident at the office supply store on Thursday afternoon (June 30).
No serious injuries were reported, but the store remained behind police tape for much of the afternoon and staff waited outside for the fumes to clear. Police, fire and ambulance crews were called around 2:30 p.m. One woman was arrested following a confrontation
with store staff. A man who identified himself as the woman’s boyfriend told The Times that there was a struggle after store staff accused her of trying to shoplift merchandise and she tried to leave. He said the girlfriend used her pepper spray after staff tried to wrestle her to the ground. “She was shopping for art supplies,” the man said. See video at www. langleytimes.com.

Volunteers sought to clean historic headstones in Fort
submitted photo
The public is being asked to volunteer a bit of time, like Michelle Chan (above) has done, to help with the gentle cleaning of the historic headstones in the Fort Langley cemetery. This year’s cleaning happens from July 9 to Aug. 27.
Many of the older headstones in Fort Langley cemetery no longer have individuals to care for them, and so the public is being invited to help preserve the reminders of our community’s roots. The volunteer project was instigated in 2009 in Fort Langley. It moved to Murrayville Cemetery last year and is returning to Fort Langley this year, said Kobi Christian, curator of Langley Centennial Museum which organizes the project. The historic Fort Langley Cemetery was created in 1884 at 23105 St. Andrew’s St. It was the first municipal cemetery established in Fort Langley, and is the final resting place of many of the area’s pioneer families. The first burial was Robert Mackie, father of the municipality’s first warden, or mayor. Many of the granite and marble monuments are elaborately carved and decorated, and some grave sites are still surrounded by their original wrought

THERESA HARRETT Times contributor
Campbell Valley is fast becoming a destination spot for many different reasons, including the most important of all — wine. Thanks to the wine-making expertise of Domaine De Chaberton, Township 7, Vista D’oro Winery and Neck of the Woods, the days of taunting by the wine aficionados of the world are over. These wineries have proved to be equal contenders in an industry that is a master class all to itself. Recently they have joined forces in what is soon to become “The Campbell Valley Wine Run.” I was so intrigued by all of this, I decided to pay a visit to each of them. I was more than a little curious about the concept and what they thought it would take to get everyone out of the house for the day and deep into the valley. To successfully write about the Wine Run, it is important to begin at the beginning. Inge Violet (Domaine De Chaberton) agreed to stroll down memory lane and discuss the journey she and her late husband Claude took that eventually led to the Valley of Wine. Wine in one form or another had been part of Claude’s lineage in France, dating as far back as 1644. Claude was in Vancouver visiting friends during the spring of 1980, and realized the territory was similar to that of the Loire Valley in France and Moselland Region in Germany.

A welcoming conversation and a tour undeniably floral with hints of green of her home soon led us outside onto apple. The wine appears to have aged the terrace, reminiscing about Claude’s much like a port and finished a little off love of life and wine. When I asked Inge dry. After I had told Inge of my thoughts on about her memories of conversations with friends and family on the subject of the wine, she seemed to beam. It was as moving here to Langley to build a winery, though she was keeping something from she quickly replied “They thought we me.

A barbecue for Shaun G High school buddies stage Langley cancer fundraiser on July 9 DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
When he went to hospital with a severe stomach ache last year, 28-year-old Shaun Gauthier thought it might be food poisoning, the result of some bad lobster meat. It turned out to be Angiosarcoma, an extremely rare and aggressive form of cancer. “When I get out of here, we’re going to do even bigger fundraising,” said Gauthier, who grew up in Surrey. As event director for Coors Light, Gauthier had already helped two high school buddies, twin brothers Chris and Jamie Ruscheinski, stage events to raise money for cancer research to honour the memory of their mother. But just two weeks after he was diagnosed, Gauthier died. It was a shock for his family and the many friends of the broad-shouldered 6’2” Gauthier, an avid athlete and accomplished martial artist. On July 9, the Ruscheinski brothers will stage a barbecue and beach party at Willoughby Park behind the Langley Events Centre to remember the Langley friend they called “Shaun G” and to raise money for cancer research. They picked a Langley location because it happens to be near Gauthier’s many friends in the Cloverdale and Langley area and they went with a beach barbecue as an appropriate theme for the good-natured, party-friendly Gauthier. “He was very, very energetic,

Learn to paddle, join the Brigade Fort Langley Canoe Club seeking participants for the annual Fraser River journey Once a year, on the first Monday in August, a special celebration is staged on the Fraser River. Participants don their voyageur costumes and become an integral part of Fort Langley’s Brigade Days celebrations.This year, Fort Langley Canoe Club (FLCC) is inviting the public to be part of this historic reenactment and paddle from Mission to Fort Langley. On Aug. 1, participants will meet in Fort Langley for an early morning drive to Mission where they will receive safety information and basic paddling instructions before launching the canoes. The journey down river from Mission to Fort Langley takes approximately three hours with a rest stop along the way. It’s a wonderful and unique way to see and experience the Fraser River and complete your long weekend. The brigade boats, in practised unison, will arrive at Fort Langley’s Marina Park at 1 p.m. and be welcomed by a black powder salute, bagpipes and a cheering crowd. Once the dignitaries have ceremoniously been escorted ashore, the re-enactors will disembark. One of the canoes will be taken on a processional walk, lead by a bagpiper and dignitaries, into the Fort’s stockade where a light lunch of bannock and beans will await the paddlers. Each paddler will receive a small memento from Fort Langley Historical Park. Fort Langley National Historic Site (parkscanada.gc.ca) is opening its doors free to the public. Even if you are not paddling you can take part in the celebrations by being part of the welcoming crowd on shore then follow behind the

Annual Brigade Days festivities, celebrating the history of the fur trade in Fort Langley, include costumed volunteers re-inacting the arrival of the brigade as it would have looked in the mid 1800s. This year’s celebrations happen on Aug. 1. procession and enter the Fort stockade where there will be a historic encampment re-enactment, blacksmithing, coopering demonstrations and other entertainment. The village of Fort Langley is also a special place to stroll, shop or enjoy a sidewalk café. The paddle from Mission to Fort Langley requires a nominal level of fitness (everyone paddles a total of three hours). Paddling experience is an asset, but not required. Participants must be 12 years or older and each paddler aged
18 and under must be accompanied by a responsible adult in the same boat. Bring your own costume: baggy pants, plain dark shoes, loose cotton shirt, scarf or suitable hat. A sash is a nice addition if possible. Anything modern such as wrist watches and sunglasses, must be hidden from view. Use sunscreen and bring a snack and water. The cost for participating is $15 for FLCC members and $25 for non-members. These prices include day parking at
Township
Historic Fort Langley, ride to Mission, use of a paddle and personal floatation device (pfd), a light lunch in the Fort and a memento. Smiles, laughter, camaraderie, applause, that real-good-feeling when you do something special and a memory which will last a lifetime are all bonus.

This is the Euro Class guarantee, and the difference that will show you the greatest value for your money. Specializing in European cars, Euro Class Motors is the go-to shop in Langley for all of your Mercedes Benz, Smart, BMW, Audi, Jaguar, Porsche, Land Rover, and Volkswagen needs. This is a full service automotive facility.

Here you get personal service, direct from the owner. Owner and mechanic Walter is dedicated to giving you exceptional servicing with the quality customer care that you need and deserve. There is no cookie-cutter way to service these vehicles. Each car is different, and their problems vary. If a car needs more attention than originally estimated, Walter
is committed to spend the extra time to ensure all problems are fixed from the surface to the core. Euro Class is not satisfied until the real causes of the problems in your vehicle are found. There is no band-aiding here. As Walter says, it just isn’t enough to fix the problems. You have to find out the source of the problems in the first place. This saves you money, time and many headaches in the long run. “You always need to know the cause for why things happen,” he stresses. It’s good honest service that keeps you up to speed with everything happening under the hood of your car. And when the servicing is finished, Walter will explain every detail to you, making sure that you leave the shop with the same knowledge of the problems and their priorities as he does. At Euro Class, they strive to involve you in all repairs so no work is performed without full understanding and approval from the vehicle owner.

PRESIDENTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S REPORT
WELCOME TO THE 2011/2012 CHAMBER PRESIDENT! My first official duty as President of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce was to recognize and express our gratitude to Milt Kruger who carried out the duties of President during the past year. Under Miltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership we implemented new strategies to engage the membership to address issues of concern to the business community and make recommendations for improvement. Throughout the term Milt attended numerous meetings and events outside of Langley, and he certainly â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;did us proudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as a representative of our community and our Chamber. Regardless of the situation he presented a very strong â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;voiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the business community, while at the same time respecting opposing sides of the debate. We extend our congratulations to Milt on his recent election the Board of the British Columbia Chamber. I look forward to the year ahead and give you my commitment to carry on the good work that has been done by Presidents and Boards for the past 80 years! Working with the Board of Directors and staff, I will continue to seek input from our members to make positive change in our organization and to address challenges facing our business community. I had the honour of attending the Canadian Chamber of Commerce AGM last fall, and the BC Chamber AGM a couple of weeks ago. I truly do wish everyone could have the opportunity to attend such events and witness first hand the power of the
Chamber network in Canada and the provinces. A personal goal I will pursue is to increase the Chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation at all levels of government to ensure the voice of business is heard, and that the Chamber is part of the solution to improve the health, prosperity and wellbeing of the economy locally, provincially and federally. The Board will participate in a day long Planning Session where we will study Member feedback from the Annual Survey, identify challenges to business and consider recommendations for solutions. As municipal boundaries disappear with regional growth and development, we will continue to work with Chambers throughout our region to strengthen the Voice of Business and provide more networking and promotional opportunities for our members. I express our thank you to the previous Board Members and Committee Volunteers for their dedication of time and expertise. I look forward to working with the 2011/2012 Board of Directors, our Membership and our staff to continue to grow the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce, and strengthen the Voice of Business.

SOCIAL MEDIA ISNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T FREE TO ENTREPRENEURS OR ANYONE Reprinted from www.startupprofessionals.com blog post by Marty Zwilling
For All Your Medical Needs If you are an entrepreneur today, and not using social media to promote your business, you are missing out on a huge opportunity. But, contrary to what most people preach, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t entirely free. Most social media outlets donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require a subscription charge, but they certainly require an investment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in people, in technology, your reputation, and your time. There are hundreds of consultants out there who will take your money for guidance in this area, but I recommend that you start with some free resources on the Internet, or one of the many recent books on this topic. One I just read,â&#x20AC;&#x153;How to Make Money with Social Mediaâ&#x20AC;? by Jamie Turner and Reshma Shah, Ph.D., hits all the right points from my perspective: There are risks as well as benefits.As with many startup activities, you only have one chance for a great first impression. You can jump into social media with a poor brand definition, poorly focused content, unrealistic expectations of customer service, or be killed by malware or viruses. Assess social media relevance to your product or service. If your business is industrial B2B products, social media should be low on your list. Spend your time and money on other platforms. If you are selling to consumers, especially younger ones, your business wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t survive without an effective social media presence. Attracting key stakeholders requires sensitivity. For some customers and many investors, a heavy focus on social networks and viral marketing may be a negative, rather than a positive. A balance of conventional and social communication and marketing is always advised. Pick the right platform for your business. Within each of the platform categories defined above, there is a right one and a wrong one for your audience. For example, LinkedIn is
attuned to business professionals, Facebook is dominated by the social and upwardly mobile crowd, and MySpace is for tweens and creative types. Communication and writing skills are required. Heavy texting experience is not a qualification for communicating via social media. In additional to strong journalistic writing and storytelling, you need business acumen, strategic thinking and planning, and the ability to do the right research. These days, video production is also a useful skill. Make social media an integrated part of an overall strategy. An integrated marketing strategy starts with an overall brand management strategy, delivered through online and offline communications, promotions, and customer engagement vehicles. Your Twitter and YouTube messages better match your print advertising message. Find the right tools to analyze the ROI. Return-On-Investment metrics are not new, but the tools are different. Get familiar with current social media tools, such as Google Analytics, Omniture, and HootSuite analytics. Over time, put together the data you need to measure your progress on a weekly/ monthly/yearly basis. The key social media platforms today include communications (Wordpress blogs, Twitter), collaboration (Wikipedia, StumbleUpon), and multimedia (YouTube, Flickr). In looking ahead, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the mobile platforms (iPhone, Android), and location-based services (Foursquare, Gowalla). As with any resource or tool, you need to optimize your social media costs against a targeted return. That means first setting a strategy and plan for what you want to achieve, then executing the plan efficiently, and measuring results. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not free, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an investment that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford not to make.

Street entertainers will take to the downtown core in Langley City every Saturday until the Labour Day weekend BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
From fiddlers to guitar players, jugglers to magicians, downtown Langley will be awash in live entertainment every Saturday afternoon from now until Labour Day. All summer long, the one-way section of Fraser Highway will be home to a weekly buskers festival. Organized by Peter Baxter, who has been co-ordinating the annual Arts Alive festival in downtown Langley for the past several years, the festival, which began last weekend (July 2) will feature a range of entertainment, not just music, he said. “We’re looking for all sorts (of performers) jugglers — anything that’s got to do with entertainment that we can ramp up and spread around.”
With the help of entertainment co-ordinator Doug Carmichael and the sponsorship of the Downtown Langley Merchants Association, Baxter has lined up a minimum of four or five acts to take to the streets and lane ways each Saturday between noon and 4 p.m., weather permitting. The buskers will be paid a $75 stipend, and anything else they can earn through tokens of appreciation tossed into a hat or guitar case by the crowd. “Maybe they won’t make anything or maybe they’ll make a ton of money,” said Baxter. In order to locate potential talent, organizers scoured music schools and music stores and put up posters asking for participants. “We got a good response,” he said. In all, they’ve arranged for about 30 different performers to take turns entertaining
shoppers throughout the summer. Artists will set up at McBurney Square, Salt Lane, Fenton Lane and the lot next to Tribal Spirit Gallery. The City’s one-way strip is a natural fit for buskers, Baxter said. “It’s an older town, it’s an artsy town.That area has great restaurants.” There are about a dozen eateries located in the immediate area, ranging from family to fine dining, coffee house sandwich shops and delis. But they aren’t the only businesses that hope to benefit from the weekly shows. A number of downtown merchants have been calling for something like this for several years, said DLMA executive director and City of Langley Councillor Teri James. The challenge, she said, was finding the manpower — specifically, someone with
musical knowledge to take on the project. “Peter was the obvious choice,” she said, noting that Baxter has co-ordinated the annual Arts Alive Festival in the same area for the past nine years. “He said he would love to take it on and, in a reasonable and professional fashion, he went about doing it. “He’s also an accomplished musician himself.” Baxter plays guitar and harmonica and sings, but unless a space comes up unexpectedly, he doesn’t expect to perform. For the first Saturday, Baxter had booked Irish dancers, a Fiddler and magician and a singer. “It’s good scope for the first week,” he said. “I think it’s going to be an exciting summer for Langley.”

Langley musician Daniel Wesley will release his new studio album Easy Livin’ on Tuesday, July 26.
Friday, July 22 at 7 & 9:30 pm
Reserved Tickets: $30 • $27 with Rewards Card
Wesley’s fifth album set to drop Langley singer-songwriter Daniel Wesley is set to release his fifth studio album, Easy Livin’, on July 26. Wesley co-produced seven tracks on the album, with Dave “Rave” Ogilvie (Skinny Puppy, Marilyn Manson, Jakalope), while three were produced by Greig Nori (Sum 41, Hedley, Marianas Trench). Easy Livin’ features collaborations from Bedouin Soundclash’s Eon Sinclair and Sekou Lumumba, and Dave Vertesi of Hey Ocean! The album sees Wesley push the music
and songwriting boundaries of his previous albums. “You get to a certain point where you’re trying to broaden what you have,” said Wesley. “I mean you grow as a musician, you enter different head spaces.” Head Outta Water is a power-rock song, while Easy Livin’ is a melodic acoustic track and Vagrant’s Life points to his roots in folk/alt-country by bringing in Vancouver’s Run GMC on banjo and slide guitar.
Wesley first broke on to the music scene when his song Ooo Ohh became the most requested song of 2007 at 99.3 The Fox in Vancouver. The infectious rock-reggae single from Sing and Dance, raised the bar of his career and found Wesley playing to soldout crowds throughout Western Canada and touring across Canada with The Trews, Ill Scarlett and Dirty Heads.

1. The HST is now 10% - False The HST is 12% and will not be 10% for three years – if ever. There will be an election before that, and even if the HST were to miraculously drop to 10% - it will still apply to hundreds more goods and services than a 12% PST/GST for a total tax increase to consumers of $1.6B per year. And who says it won’t go right back up again later?
2. The HST will lower taxes – False This one is hilarious. The HST increases taxes for British Columbians by $2.8 Billion per year. That’s an average annual increase of $500 per person - or $1208 per average family – forever. Finance Minister Falcon says if his side loses he may disregard the result and expand the PST to items previously exempt – which would be illegal. Do you really trust this guy to cut the rate if he wins?
3. The HST will save you money - False And the tooth fairy is going to leave you a quarter under your pillow too. To get their numbers to show the HST actually “saving” you money they are calculating only “routine purchases” and that 90% of what you pay in HST will be passed back to you in lower prices. Have you seen lower prices?... We didn’t think so.
4. The HST benefits seniors - False Seniors and people on fixed incomes are some of the hardest hit by the HST. A one time rebate of $175 if you vote in favour of their tax in exchange for paying it for the rest of your life is a deal only a snake oil salesman would offer. Why take $175 when you can vote to cancel the HST and keep all your money? How dumb do they think we are?
5. The HST benefits families – False Next to seniors, working families are hardest hit by the HST because they are among the largest consumers and have dependent children. Bribes of $175 per child when your cost is closer to $400 a year each makes you wonder if they think all of us failed math as badly as they did. And what about a single mom with two kids going to college? She gets nothing while the Premier and Finance Minister who earn big six figure salaries get the rebate. Nice.
6. Business will pay more so you pay less - False A temporary increase of 2% in corporate taxes will be passed on to consumers with increased prices. Either way you pay the final bill whether it’s in HST or higher prices.
7. We’ll owe $1.6 Billion if we cancel the HST - False The “Independent Panel” says the HST generated $850 million more than budgeted. Setting aside that is the biggest tax grab in BC history, it means government already has $850 million to repay Ottawa. BC has only received $1B, and Ottawa collected $300M more in corporate taxes under HST than under PST. So it’s a wash. And keeping the HST would cost British Columbians alot more than killing it – over $28 Billion in new taxes in just 10 years.
Vote YES to extinguish the HST and save your province, your democracy, and your money!

Art in Found Spaces first ever senior exhibit continues until July 28 inside Langley Township Civic Facility and Langley City Hall
BRENDA ANDERSON
a teacher, from small town to small town, all over B.C. However, it is time she spent in northern Alberta that she remembers fondly and that continues to impact her artwork to this day. When she was eight years old, Patzke and her mother lived for a time with Patzke’s maternal grandfather in a rustic cabin in the bush near Grande Cache. Living without hot water, with animal pelts scattered across the floor, wearing moccasins sewn by local First Nations people and surrounded by bears and assorted other wildlife, it was a period that made a deep impression on the young artist. A grizzly watching trip to Alaska years later brought a host of those memories flooding back — memories Patzke needed to get down on canvas. And so she began to paint. But far from creating photographic reproductions, Patzke opened up her palette and went wild, so to speak, conjuring up reddish gold bears set beneath purple or red skies and blue-furred creatures surrounded by swirls of colours not normally associated with the northern boreal forest. Although she works from photographs it is crucial, Patzke said, to paint from her own experiences. “You can paint better if you’ve felt the feeling (of the place). I don’t know how you can paint something if you haven’t seen it with your own eyes,” she said. In all, 14 artists are taking part in the senior exhibit, most of them hobbyists in their 60s, said Wallace. In addition to the Township hall display which features the work of three artists besides Platzke, including a husband and wife, there are numerous works hanging at Langley City Hall. The exhibit will hang until July 28. Once it’s finished, Township hall will host an exhibit of work by artists from other Fraser Valley communities, as its part in the regional Biennale show, which is currently on display in Abbotsford and Maple Ridge. Meanwhile, an equestrian-themed exhibit is next up for the wall space of City Hall on Douglas Crescent.

Ten paintings by Langley artist Sheila Patzke will hang in Township hall until July 28, as part of Art in Found Spaces.
heila Patzke’s bold impressionist images greet a visitor’s casual glance as brilliant splashes of colour, lining a fourth floor hallway of the Langley Township Civic Facility. But a closer inspection reveals a diverse collection of images that includes grizzly bears, birds, ballerinas, fine ladies in long gowns and an outdoor café. All of Patzke’s acrylic pieces, as well as another pair of floral water colours, two storeys down, are being exhibited as part of the Langley Arts Council’s Art in Found Spaces program’s first seniors exhibit, featuring the work of artists, aged 55 and up It’s not a solo exhibit, but Patzke feels like a bit of a star, nonetheless, with so many of her pieces selected for display. After reading about Art in Found Spaces and making an appointment with organizer Rosemary Wallace, to have her work assessed, Patzke brought along a large sampling from her collection. “She took all 10. I wished I’d brought all 150,” laughed Patzke, a self-taught artist whose paintings are piling up in her South Langley home, but can also be found on display at Dot’s Café on Fraser Highway as well as other Langley businesses. Patzke, a retired hairdresser, moved to Langley 10 years ago, where she has settled in and joined three art clubs — Aldergrove and Surrey’s Port Kells and Arts West — and it was through her involvement with one of the clubs that she learned about the exhibit. But it was a childhood spent in many different places that inspired several of the pieces she submitted. Growing up, Patzke moved with her mother,

Spartans heading to Qatar Trinity Western volleyball team representing Canada at FIVB club championships
Garrett JAMES/Langley Times
Langley Jr. Blaze’s Liam Stroud slides home safely around the tag of Parksville Royals’ Blake Heemskerk. The Blaze won three of four games over the weekend.
Jr. Blaze edge closer to pennant Barring a catastrophic finish to the season, the Langley Jr. Blaze are one game away from clinching a second straight B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League regular season pennant. Langley improved to 35-6 thanks to an 11-1 victory and a 5-3 win over the Parksville Jr.
Royals on Sunday afternoon at McLeod Park. The Blaze have won eight of their past 10 games With seven games remaining, the Blaze lead the Nanaimo Jr. Pirates by six games. See more at www.langleytimes. com.
The Trinity Western Spartans will have their work cut out for them this fall. The Spartans, the Canadian Interuniversity Sport men’s volleyball champions, have been chosen to represent Canada at the FIVB club world championships this October in Doha, Qatar. They were chosen by NORCECA (North America, Central America and Caribbean) to represent the region at the eightteam tournament which features the world’s best club teams, including the two-time defending
champions Trentino from Italy and Russian champion Zenit Kazan. “It’s essentially like our basketball team going to play the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics,” said Trinity Western coach Ben Josephson. “We’re playing two or three of the best teams on the planet. “The Trentino team basically has the volleyball equivalent of both Lebron (Juanterana Osmany) and Kobe (Matey Kaziyski) playing on it,” he added, referencing NBA greats Lebron James and Kobe Bryant. Josephson said this is probably the biggest event most of these players will take part in. “Outside of the Olympics, there won’t be a bigger
competition these guys will play in,” he said. “Some national teams aren’t even as good as some of these teams.” Once the Spartans begin practising in September, they will put their preparation into overdrive. “We need to be fully mid to endseason ready by Oct. 8 just not to get embarrassed,” Josephson said. Some players are getting a jump in the preparation courtesy of their involvement with various Canadian programs. Rudy Verhoeff and Marc Howatson are with Canada’s senior B team, preparing for the FISU Games in China in August. And Brad Kufske, Lucas Van Berkel, Derek Thiessen and Branden Schmidt are with Canada’s junior national team. The squad won silver at the Junior Pan Am Cup in Panama City and will compete at the world

Mustangs’ Harrison sets new mark in pentathlon Joel Harrison set a provincial age group record at the B.C. Junior Development Pentathlon championships. The 12-year-old Harrison was competing along with his Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club at Surrey’s Bear Creek Park on June 25. The athletes, ranging in age from
9 to 15, competed in the hurdles, long jump, shot put, high jump and 800m He was one of four Mustangs to finish atop the podium in their age group activities, with Natalia Monro, 10, Vaughn Taylor, 11, and Fernando Martinez, 14, also accomplishing the feat. Josiah Perovich, 10, and Robyn
Buckingham, 14, took silvers, in their respective age groups. And Nathaian Demian, 9, Caleb Kastelein, 10, and a pair of 13-yearolds, Jaclyn Pauley and Jordan Burke, all won bronze. ••••• Incoming Trinity Western Spartans high jumper Emma Nuttall continues to excel.
Nuttall won the Aviva England Athletics under-20 title with a winning jump of 1.82m. And in addition to taking top spot on the podium, the 19-year-old qualified for the upcoming European under-20 (junior) championships, later this month in Estonia. By clearing 1.82m, Nuttall posted an outdoor personal best and was
just one centimetre shy of her overall personal best of 1.83m. Nuttall, who is from Edinburgh, is Scotland’s reigning national senior and U20 indoor high jump champion. She signed with the Spartans shortly after Trinity Western hired Laurier Primeau, a former Scottish Athletics head coach.

Thunder rising up league standings after another big win The Langley Thunder made it back-to-back victories over the Western Lacrosse Association’s top two teams thanks to a 6-5 win over the Victoria Shamrocks. The win came on the heels of a 9-7 defeat over the first-place New Westminster Salmonbellies. The victory over the Shamrocks, Langley’s third consecutive, came Wednesday night at the Langley Events Centre. The Thunder are 5-1 at
home. In the latest victory, Rob Van Beek scored the game’s final goal, his second of the game, with four minutes remaining in the second period. The game had been back-andforth with neither team able to mount much offence. The Shamrocks led 3-2 after 20 minutes, but the Thunder scored four times in the middle frame to take the lead for good.
The teams played a scoreless final period. Kyle Belton, Andrew Potter, Athan Iannucci and Alex Turner had the other Langley goals and Dan Williams had three assists. Brodie MacDonald stopped 42 shots for the win. The victory improves Langley to 5-5-1 in the senior A lacrosse league and pulls them within two points of second-place Victoria. The Thunder are at home

on July 6 against the Nanaimo Timbermen (3-4-2). ••••• The Langley Jr. Thunder hold a slim lead for the sixth and final playoff berth. The Thunder had a great chance to put some distance between themselves and the Burnaby Jr. Lakers in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League standings. But Langley lost four games
last week, which leaves them two points up on Burnaby with one game remaining. To make matters worse, the Lakers have three games left and hold the tiebreaker. Langley lost 16-5 to Coquitlam, 13-4 against New Westminster, 13-11 in overtime to Victoria and 16-9 to Delta. The Thunder close the regular season on Thursday (July 7) against the Delta Islanders.

Clark snags five golds at provincial championships Meredith Clark stole the show with a dominant performance in the water. The 11-year-old was one of four swimmers from the Langley Olympians Swim Club who competed at the B.C. AA provincial championships in Kelowna. The meet featured 300 swimmers from across the province, all of whom were aiming to achieve their AAA qualifying times for this month’s championships in Victoria. Clark won five gold medals — topping the field in the 100 free, 200 free, 400 free, 800 free and 400 individual medley — plus two silver and a bronze medal. The latter medals came in the 50 free, 200 back and 100 back, respectively. And Clark also gained her AAA provincial times in four of the events. Another swimmer doing well for himself was Joshua Kim. The nine-year-old, despite being a couple of years younger than his competition, won gold in the 100 fly and silver in the 200 IM in the 11 and under category. Avery Martin, 10, won gold in the boys’ 10 and under 200 freestyle race and was sixth overall in the 10 and under Swim Star Award. And Mackenzie Dong, 10, was eight overall in the girls 10 and under Swim Star Award. She placed fourth in the 100 fly, 200 free and 100 back. ••••• The summer is starting off with a bang for Reece Callies. Callies has been selected to play at the 2011 National Lacrosse Classic in Germantown, Maryland. The elite event, which runs July 5-8, unites top high school players from across North America. It is also a chance for players to be seen by U.S. university and college scouts. The 15-year-old is playing for the Northern California squad. The Langley teen earned an invitation to play for the team after they spotted him competing for the Burnaby Mountain Selects back in January. Callies plays his minor lacrosse with
the Langley Thunder U16 team. ••••• After another successful season, the Fort Langley Youth
