Politicians poke check schedule Township Council shifts its meeting times to accommodate Canucks, looks into opening LEC for game broadcasts NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

When it comes to a choice between politics and playoffs, the winner is obvious, especially when the home team is poised for Stanley Cup glory. The Vancouver Canucks’ run to hockey’s greatest prize has prompted Township council to shift its meeting time on June 13, as it conflicts with the scheduled sixth game of the Cup final series against the Boston Bruins. Instead of postponing its afternoon and evening sessions for that day, council decided on Monday to combine both meetings. Council’s business will start at 2 p.m. and end no later than 5 p.m., the time that all playoff games start. Councillor Jordan Bateman proposed the change, noting that even the provincial government has rescheduled HST forums to accommodate fans. Normally, meeting dates are not changed if public hearings have been advertised, but this is not the case for June 13, administrator Mark Bakken advised council. At Bateman’s suggestion, council agreed that staff should investigate the feasibility of opening the Langley Events Centre so that the public can view the games on the arena’s big screens. Bakken said that staff would have to check that there are no licensing issues which could arise if fans are charged an entry fee or have to pay for food and drinks. Last year, the Events Centre was opened up so that fans could watch the Olympic gold medal game between Canada and the U.S.

Canucks fever is everywhere, it seems, from Langley City’s streets, where one driver had his pickup rigged out with dozens of flags and logos, to Township council chambers, where meeting schedules have been re-jigged in order to avoid conflicting with games. For more evidence of Langley’s love for the Canucks, see pages 4 and 5.

Street life giving way to shelter dwelling Langley on track with homelessness trend uncovered in 2011 count BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

The release of numbers from the Lower Mainland’s latest homeless count paint an interesting picture of change across the region. Since 2008, the figures show, there has been a dramatic shift from streets to shelters, and Langley, thanks in large part to its

new homeless shelter, is no exception. In fact, of the communities included in the count, Langley saw by far the greatest percentage increase over three years (275 per cent, up from 12 to 45) in the number of people who are considered to be homeless, but sheltered. Meanwhile, the number of unsheltered homeless people in the two Langleys combined dropped by nearly 20 per cent, from 74 to 60 over the same period. Fraser Holland, one of Langley’s two homeless outreach workers, who is based at Stepping Stone Rehabilitative Society, was a little surprised by the figures released last week, saying his own experience led him to believe the numbers would be higher.

But with this being the first count taken since the Gateway of Hope shelter opened in November, 2009, Holland admitted he wasn’t sure what to expect. Working alongside Langley’s other outreach worker, Emily Aldcroft, Holland sees, on average, three to four new people connecting with the program each week, which would seem to indicate the number of homeless people in Langley is growing dramatically. But there are other factors at play, he noted, including migration between shelters and communities. As the weather improves many people are on the move from west to east, toward the Okanagan and jobs picking fruit, passing

through Langley as they go. During a period when overall homeless numbers have climbed eight to 10 per cent, Langley’s outreach workers have seen two surprising spikes, Holland said. The first is in the number of women 19 to 23 and the other, women in their 40s and 50s. Both jumped by about 25 per cent over the course of a year. Holland said this is likely because the first group has become more visible as the young women enter adulthood and find themselves out on their own, while the older women may be leaving relationships with nowhere to go. continued, PAGE 10

Two new bridges in Langley ASHLEIGH BEAUDOIN Times Reporter

Natasha JONES/Langley Times

Three-year-old Peter Reimer became the first child to walk across the new pedestrian overpass over 200 Street at 68 Avenue, as it was officially opened Friday morning.

Education minister invited to take a walk DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

Children as young as five may have to walk 3.5 kilometres twice a day as a result of the Langley school district decision to swap a proposed school site in the Routley neighbourhood of Willoughby for another location in the Yorkson neighbourhood. The prediction was made Tuesday by Pete Pretorius, spokesperson for a group of parents campaigning to keep the Routley site. A few hours before parents representatives were to meet with the board of education and Township council to discuss the issue, the parents issued a public challenge to provincial Education Minister George Abbott, to walk the route many students will be forced to take. Pretorius said for some Routley parents, driving their children is not a practical option, nor is hiring a school bus that can cost as much as $300 a month. That means some will be forced to make a three and one-half kilometre trip on foot across 200 Street to attend primary school, Pretorius said. He said building a school on the designated site in the rapidly-

growing Routley neighbourhood is a “logical next step” that should proceed. Pretorius said parents were unsure they will get to make their case at the Tuesday night meeting with the Township and board of education, because they’ve been told the meeting was to explain the decision-making process that produced the land swap. “That’s not going to leave a lot of time for us,” Pretorius said. Langley school district staff have defended the land swap as an appropriate response to shifting growth patterns in the Willoughby area. Superintendent Cheryle Beaumont has said the provincial government decides when to build new schools and the district can’t hope that one “will appear from the sky” just because it owns a lot. The Township is involved because the land swap agreement between the school district and the developer who owns the Yorkson property must get rezoning approval before it can proceed. And a Township of Langley “Routley Park conceptual plan” shows the site was originally designated for construction of an elementary school, once the area was fully developed.

Peter Reimer, 3, wanted to walk over the pedestrian bridge at 200 Street and 68 Avenue for months. On Friday, May 27, he got his chance. The Willoughby Greenway Bridge opened for use, as Langley Township Mayor Rick Green and MLA Mary Polak led a group up the path and onto the bridge for the first official walk across the new, safe walkway. Also in attendance were Langley Township Councillors Mel Kositsky and Grant Ward and Langley RCMP Supt. Derek Cooke. With a $1 million contribution from the provincial government, the $2.66 million project is Langley’s second pedestrian walkway and will

aid in the future plans that the Township of Langley has for 200 Street. The project involves the development of green space around the area, with gardens on either side, and is part of a designated greenway space. Families like the Reimers and more than 13,250 other people who live in the Willoughby area will use the bridge to cross one of Langley’s busiest streets, whether they are walking, running, riding their bikes or accompanying their children. In one day, more than 41,000 vehicles drive on 200 Street. The following day, the new Fraser Highway bridge over the Nicomekl River was officially opened. The new fourlane bridge replaces an old wooden structure.

A 20-year-old male driver and two 16-year-old passengers were injured when a 1993 Nissan Sentra went off the road in the 700 block of 232 Street on Friday afternoon (May 27) around 4:30 p.m. and burst into flames. One passenger had to transported by helicopter to hospital. Injuries to the other passenger and the driver were described as minor by police. Police said the Nissan Sentra was southbound on 232 Street and drove off the left (east) side of the road. The vehicle became partially airborne and careened off one tree, broke a second tree and came to rest on the passenger side wrapped around two other trees. The three occupants escaped before the Nissan became engulfed in flame. Speeding is believed to be a factor

TEENS HOSPITALIZED Three 14-year-old girls had to be rushed to hospital after Langley RCMP broke up an outdoor drinking party Friday night. The girls were among a group of about 30 teens found in Langley’s Douglas Park. One could barely walk, and one was described as belligerent by the police. Two of the teens passed out shortly after they were arrested for public intoxication. All three required hospitalization for potentially hazardous blood alchol levels. “Given the level of intoxication, without question these children could have suffered significant injuries or death, ” Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks said. Marks said parents should be vigilant with their children and determine exactly where they are going, who they are associating with, and what their plans for the evening involve.

‘Lady Gaga’ going to Cup finals GARY AHUJA Times Reporter

Amid catcalls and whistles from his co-workers, Colin Alexander took it all in stride with a big smile on his face. On most days when the 25-yearold gets ready for work — he is a forklift operator at Langley’s Country Lumber — it is usually just a regular morning, of getting showered and dressed. But Friday was a little bit different. For one thing, he spent a good 90 minutes sitting still, while his facial make-up was expertly applied. Alexander had agreed to dress as pop star Lady Gaga. His elaborate costume included black spandex, a silver thong, a bra, wig and bead-encrusted glasses. He did not shave his playoff beard for the occasion, instead adding some silver glitter. Alexander was wearing this getup as part of a contest sponsored by Best Buy and The Province, which asked Vancouver Canucks fans to pledge what they would do for tickets should the team make the Stanley Cup finals. Alexander was one of three winners and he receives two tickets to Saturday’s Game 2 against the Boston Bruins. The winners also receive $500 gift cards to Best Buy. “This is huge for me,” Alexander said, adding that although he has attended regular season games in the past, this will be his first playoff experience.

It’s common knowledge that our bodies can metabolize one standard alcoholic drink per hour. Binge drinking on the other hand is very dangerous. Binge drinking is deﬁned as six or more drinks (4 for women) over two hours at least once weekly. Binge drinking doubles your risk of heart attack. Food for thought: Life expectancy for a woman in Zimbabwe is 42 years. In Japan it is 86 and in Canada it is 83. The massive difference is due to the variability in living conditions and availability to good healthcare.

Colin Alexander dressed as Lady Gaga on Friday for his shift at Country Lumber. Alexander’s pledge to dress like the pop star helped him win a pair of tickets to Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals. He is taking his friend Sam, who was the one who came up with the idea to dress as Lady Gaga. Sam and another friend, Alica, made the costume. And as luck would have it, his roommate’s girlfriend has rather large feet, so he was able to squeeze his size 11s into some rather uncomfortable high heel shoes. The reaction from his family and co-workers was nothing Alexander didn’t expect, although while his dad is fully on board and thinks it is hilarious, Alexander’s mom “wants to move.” His co-workers at Country Lumber were having a good time. When Alexander emerged from

upstairs in his elaborate costume and with his make-up applied, his colleagues were hooting and hollering, with almost every person holding up a cell phone camera to preserve the moment. “This is the same outfit he wore when he applied to work here,” someone shouted from the back. A few brave ones even posed with the Lady Gaga impersonator. “Just another day at the job,” Alexander said with a big smile on his face, as he danced to Lady Gaga’s Born this Way, which was blaring from the speakers in the company’s office. “I am a pretty easy going guy. Anything for a laugh.”

Law largely ignored

Not a good time for tax

hen the provincial government brought in a new law banning the use of handheld cell phones in 2010, most drivers complied with the law — at first. There was a general recognition that distracted driving was a serious issue. Several high-profile cases had brought out how inattention at the wheel had resulted in deadly consequences, and there was also the feeling that police would be strictly enforcing the new law. There was added enforcement at first, in an attempt to get the message out that the law had changed. But police have many tasks to do, and much of their attention in the past eight months has been consumed with new drinking and driving laws, which can see drivers with blood alcohol limits of .05 lose their vehicles. It seems that the issue of distracted drivers has been overshadowed by the very few drivers who insist on driving after having too much to drink. While this a significant issue and leads to terrible consequences, as recently witnessed in Surrey, when an apparently drunk driver struck and killed a popular 22-year-old softball player and coach driving home from practice, it is not the only issue. It seems most people who were using their cell phones while driving have reverted to their old habits. You can see it every day when stopped at a traffic light, or when driving along the road. In many cases, drivers are using their phones to send text messages or reply to e-mail, which is arguably far more distracting than simply talking on the phone. When Langley RCMP set up an enforcement blitz last Wednesday, they handed out more than 80 tickets. The blitz was part of a provincial crackdown in high-risk driving. Of the more than 80 tickets handed out in a short period, 21 (or about one-quarter) were for use of handheld devices by drivers. It seems that, law or no law, people will not give up using their mobile phones, even at the risk of a fine and a ticket. For many years, drivers did just fine without cell phones. Yes, they were often distracted by other things, such as a loud discussion in the vehicle, a crying baby or something else. Surely drivers can learn to either do without them while driving, pull over if a call is coming in or, if they find it absolutely necessary to drive and use the phone, spend a little money and have a hands-free device installed in their vehicles.

erhaps there is never a good time to propose a vehicle levy, but the latest reincarnation of the dreaded car tax comes at a bad time for Tri-City residents. For one thing, the prospect of paying on average $122 per car, depending on the size of the vehicle, on top of new tolls, higher gas prices and AirCare fees is daunting, given that incomes aren’t rising as fast as all the other bills. When the fee was originally proposed in the 1990s, it was only $75 and was soundly trashed. Now, it’s even bigger, and although it’s scaled to the size of vehicles to give the appearance of being green, most people will just see it as a tax and won’t like it any better. The problem is a transit tax is hard to justify in the suburbs, where transit is minimal and most families still need two cars. At the same time, road and transit projects that could create some relief — the Evergreen Line, the United Boulevard Extension and the Murray-Clarke connector in this area — are either on hold or history. Yes, TransLink needs the cash to put it on more sustainable footing to pay for these large infrastructure projects, but there is a such a gap in public trust that people aren’t likely to believe they’ll see any benefit from the fee. They wonder, for example, why they still have to pay for AirCare when their car and most others never fail. They wonder why TransLink carried over a $16 million surplus and why the Evergreen Line is still stalled. Meanwhile, transit in single-family neighbourhoods will never be as good as it is in denser areas of the region, so this transit tax doesn’t have any initial benefit for those who could be forced to pay it. To sell this tax will require a lot of creative thinking. One idea would be to attach a sunset clause so that it dies after some of the big-ticket transit items have been paid off. Former premier Gordon Campbell got some mileage from taking down the toll booths on the Coquihalla. We think that’s an idea worth emulating. —Tri-City News The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Langley Times

Good reason for ‘no stopping’ Editor: During the past year and a half that I have been the officer in charge of Langley detachment, I have come to know what a tremendous community we have. I could fill pages of your newspaper with examples of the many wonderful and supportive citizens I have encountered. One of the less enjoyable aspects of my job is dealing with situations in which persons are dissatisfied with the service they have received from their police department. I demand that our officers meet the expectations of the community, and when that has not happened I do what I can to rectify the situation and ensure better service in the future. I must confess, however, that on occasion I am frustrated by what people complain about. One such example can be found in the letter to the editor (The Times, May 25), headlined “Void tickets.” While I am generally reluctant to address such issues in an open forum, in this case I felt it necessary to publicly support the actions of my officers. The writer indicated she had attended the May Day parade in Fort Langley and was both “disgusted and furious” upon returning to her vehicle to find that it and “dozens and dozens” of others had been issued $50 parking tickets — on a holiday. She indicated this was just a “cheap cash grab” and cites this as an example of why the police have such little community support. My initial response could be summed up with an incredulous “Really?” The reality of the situation is that a total of eight vehicles were issued municipal bylaw tickets for parking in a well-marked “No Stopping” zone. Had this been a “cash grab,” the officer could have issued the writer a ticket under the provincial Motor Vehicle Act, and depending on the

charge used, imposed a fine as high as $109. This may also have carried ICBC demerit points and formed part of her permanent driving record. The writer noted that this occurred on a holiday, suggesting that somehow should have made a difference in the officer’s decision to write the tickets. That did play a role in the decision making process. The May Day parade occurs on one of the busiest and most congested days of the year for Fort Langley. A great deal of planning goes into attempting to minimize that congestion and ensuring everyone’s safety. Illegally parked vehicles can often compound congestion and the area the writer parked in had been designated an emergency route for the event (which unfortunately had to be utilized, when a spectator suffered a serious medical emergency). If there was ever a day she should expect to get a ticket for parking illegally in Fort Langley, that was it. The writer was also critical of the officers who performed in the motorcycle demonstration as not one “cracked a smile or waved the whole time.” I guess my preference would be for her first response to have been to express gratitude to the members of the motorcycle drill team. These officers were from a municipal force that plays no role in policing Langley. They attended on a holiday that was likely a day off for most of them, and put on a very skilled demonstration for her entertainment. Motorcycle drill involves complex and potentially dangerous maneuvers that require an extreme level of focus and concentration. For obvious reasons, the officers are not permitted to remove their hands from the handlebars while performing. Waving to the crowd is probably the furthest thing from the

operators’ minds at the time and would be an extremely poor example of motorcycle safety technique. I was unable to attend the parade myself and cannot speak to the veracity of the comment that the motorcycle drill team members did not smile at the crowd. What I can tell you, however, is that drill, whether performed on foot, motorcycle, or horseback, is based on military tradition and is a very disciplined activity. Had I smiled when learning drill in Depot or performing in a public venue, I very likely would have earned myself many pushups (even more than I did!). As I write this, I am conjuring up an image of a soldier waving and smiling to tourists during the changing of the guard ceremony outside Buckingham Palace. It’s not going to happen. The writer said “This is how ‘our’ town treats us?” Yes, I guess it is. Your wonderful community and many volunteers sponsored a delightful day of activities that I trust most thoroughly enjoyed. I thank everyone who gave their time to make the parade a success. The police officers and volunteer auxiliary constables did their best to ensure everyone’s convenience and safety.The “No Stopping” signs were in place long before the May Day parade, and presumably have been there for years for a reason. On this particular day, they also served to facilitate an emergency access route. While the writer may not have realized she was parking illegally, that is no one’s fault but her own. Perhaps rather than asking; “This is how “our” town treats us?” she should consider that being mindful of such issues is a small part of how we can all respectfully treat our town and fellow citizens. Supt. Derek Cooke, officer in charge, RCMP, Langley Detachment

Jack Froese the ‘breath of fresh air we need’ Editor: On May 11, The Times published a letter from Win Bromley, indicating that it was wrong of Jack Froese to run for mayor. As a resident of the Township, I completely disagree with this line of thinking. I for one would like to see the ongoing feud at Township hall to come to an end. This internal decay that has been festering inside the

Township is not healthy for us a community. We need strong new leadership, without all the baggage. Clearly Bromley is on the mayor’s side and appears to want Froese to step aside, in order to have a high-profile, ugly battle with a councillor for the mayor’s chair. I don’t sense a groundswell of support for either side. In fact,

I see a tsunami of voter disgust about to hit. I am thrilled that there is a third option for me and my fellow residents. Froese is exactly the breath of fresh air we need, and I believe he has what it takes to clean up the mess inside Township hall. Steve Hocaluk, Langley

Frontier Building Supplies was a unique place Editor: Another landmark of Fort Langley closed its doors on Tuesday (May 31). My parents, Bill and Blanche Dyck, bought the PK Building Supply Store in Fort Langley back in 1971, and renamed the store Frontier Building Supply. It became our family business, operating as a hardward store and lumber yard. As my parents prepared for retirement, my brother, Jim Dyck, took over the store and added a garden and craft centre. The

In the early 1970s, I worked there as a clerk and saw many loyal customers walk through those doors, some shopping for supplies, while others just stopped in to say hi and tell a story or two. Last weekend, I took my last visit to the store and as I walked through the partiallyemptied aisles, I couldn’t help but shed a tear, remembering those customers who remained dedicated throughout the 40 years, even as

big box stores opened all around. You can always buy hardware and lumber at hundreds of stores around here, but none will ever compare to Frontier Building Supply, nor will the service ever be as personable as you received from Bill, Blanche, Jim, Margo and their family throughout the decades. You will be sadly missed, Jimmy Dyck. Your sister, Ceci (le) Tolman, Kamloops

UNSAFE DRIVING Editor: On Saturday, an enjoyable day came to an end, as my family and I witnessed some unusually frustrating driving in the downtown core. An impatient and hurried driver turned right on a red light without stopping and cut off the oncoming traffic. He then sped up and ran through the next red light. I patiently waited at the light following behind him and observed this person turn quickly again into a parking lot, in an obvious attempt to avoid another red light. Interestingly enough, as we followed our route we found ourselves right beside the impatient driver around the corner of the next city block. His attempt to save time by cutting through a parking lot was not successful. Perhaps this was just another display of ignorant and impatient driving in Langley? It might have been something I silently ignored, except for the fact that the individual was driving a Coast Mountain Transit shuttle bus (albeit empty). I would caution anyone considering stepping onto shuttle S310, as the driver on Saturday afternoon (just before 4 p.m.) was certainly not someone I would trust behind the wheel of a vehicle. The only words to describe the driving of this transit employee are irresponsible and dangerous. Daniel Snyder, Langley

TAXES JUMP Editor: Has your paper run any articles on the Langley Township taxes for 2011? Assuming everybody had a 7.8 per cent increase like we did, I would think it would warrant one. Let’s have fewer flowers on the boulevards when times are tough, and lower taxes. Darwyn Samuels, Langley

AN EMBARRASSMENT Editor: Jeff Laurie’s letter to the editor (The Times, May 25) was right on the money. As long as “money talks,” public safety will continue to take a back seat to money grabbers and developers. The 200 Street interchange is a complete embarrassment. For the longest time, I cringed at the thought of what would happen if there was a power outage and the traffic lights failed to function. Well, sure enough it’s happened more than once and the result was. complete chaos. Stuart Smith, Langley

No â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;typicalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homeless person Numbers growing, demographics changing from PAGE 1

In the five years heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in the position, the overall number of people in Langley who are considered to be homeless has grown exponentially, Holland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s socio-economic or, as outreach goes along, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting deeper into the issue (is unclear),â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking just at homelessness on the streets, the numbers are down. But the working poor, couch surfers, people housed in unstable situations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; take that into account and the numbers are going to grow, one way or another.â&#x20AC;? This count did a better job of tallying the number of homeless youth, Holland believes. Although the exact figures will always be elusive, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you have to try to at least factor them in,â&#x20AC;? he said. Of course, numbers only tell part of the story. Ten years ago, the typical homeless person in Langley was a man in his 40s or 50s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mix,â&#x20AC;? said Holland.â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see everything.â&#x20AC;? The economic downturn and splintering of families have left people of

both genders and all ages at some degree of homelessness, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s couch surfing, living in a shelter or literally out on the street. People are no longer one cheque away from being in trouble. Now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one cheque away from getting out of trouble â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gap thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very difficult to bridge, Holland said. One of the main components of his job is to help get people into stable living situations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a task that often must be accomplished in stages and by building relationships both with potential landlords and tenants who may require a few chances before theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to settle in to a permanent living arrangement. While Langley could always use a third outreach worker, Holland said, the support offered by other agencies, including Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services (ANS) and Family and Youth Services Society (FAYSS) has been invaluable. As has backing from the public, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anytime Langley has a need for something, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing the level of support (that materializes).â&#x20AC;?

Drinking and driving up DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

May was a bad month for drinking and driving in Langley. During an average weekend, Langley RCMP officers expect to catch nine to 12 motorists drinking and driving. But during May, the numbers were up 60 to 80 per cent. Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks called the figures “astounding.” Marks said the increase doesn’t appear to have anything to do with the Vancouver Canucks Stanley Cup drive, because the amount of over-

Deportation fight continues DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

His two-month cross-Canada trip to raise public awareness about his deportation battle may have cost Langley resident José Figueroa his job, but it was worth it, he said, because it also helped him find a lawyer willing to take his case. Figueroa and his son José Ivan returned home May 19, ending a trip that began March 18 when father and son journeyed to Ottawa to raise awareness about his case. Father and son rode the bus and sometimes hitch-hiked, making stops along the way to speak to supporters in Regina, Hull, Montreal London and Ottawa, where they were granted a meeting with the El Salvadoran embassy. Figueroa said after he told his employer how much time he was planning to devote to the trip, his boss told him he couldn’t keep him on the payroll.

During the trip, Figueroa met with a high-profile lawyer in Toronto who has agreed to mount a Charter of Rights challenge of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act on his behalf. Figueroa won’t say who the lawyer is right now. He said the plan is to file for a court order blocking the deportation and also mount a class-action constitutional challenge on behalf of Figueroa and other immigrants who complain the law is too broadly worded. “That’s the way I have always seen it [as a class action case]” Figueroa said. “It affects not only my family, but, as we speak, many other families.” The Langley father of three Canadian-born children is fighting to remain in Canada after he was ordered deported back to his native El Salvador for belonging to the left-wing Farabundo Martí

National Liberation Front (FMLN), which was linked to violent acts during the civil war in El Salvador between 1980 and 1992. The fact that Figueroa was a student who associated with a nonviolent wing of the FMLN didn’t matter under the immigration act’s toughly worded antiterrorism guidelines. The law says a person is inadmissible to Canada if they are found guilty of “...being a member of an organization that there are reasonable grounds to believe engages, has engaged or will engage [in] the subversion by force of any government ...” The FMLN has since become the government of El Salvador after winning a democratic election. Figueroa was told it will be seven to nine years before there is a ruling on his application to the ministry of public safety for “ministerial relief” that would allow him to remain in Canada.

Film-farm conflict resurfaces NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Gunfire, helicopters and bright lights are the stuff of action movies shot on location in South Langley. But they are interfering not only with the peace and quiet of farms and large homes, they are also impacting thousands of chickens on one farmer’s property. And now the Agricultural Land Commission has become involved because the owners of the large property where filming is taking place has allegedly contravened the Agricultural Land Commission Act. On Monday, neighbour Monica Fitzl appeared before Township council asking for filming to cease at one of Langley’s biggest houses. Known as Copperstone, the house at 21122 - 12 Ave. is owned by Roslyn Ritchie-Derrien. Monica and Willy Fitzl run Second Nature Farm, an organic

chicken operation that is growing, but which, Monica Fitzl said, “is deeply affected” by filming. She said that bright lights shine directly on her two poultry barns, and helicopters are flying at night when the chickens go to bed. Fifty per cent of filming happens at night and goes through to the early morning, she added. The same filming vs. farming conflict came before council in 2007, ending in a mediated agreement. “But that agreement has not meant anything to anyone,” Fitzl told council. The Township’s guidelines, she said, are not being met. “We’ve always been opposed,” Fitzl told council. “We try to work with our neighbours as best as we can . . . it’s one of the neighbourly things to do and one of the Commandments.” She said she was “absolutely not” opposed to filming in Langley. “I’m opposed to it when it’s in the ALR.”

On Monday, the same day that Fitzl asked council to halt filming, the land commission wrote to Ritchie-Derrien giving her until June 30 to show how she will comply with the Act. In his May 30 letter, ALC compliance and enforcement officer Ron MacLeod told RitchieDerrien that allowing movie people “to occupy and conduct non-farm activities” without ALC authorization, and placing “a large volume of gravel” on her property contravene the ALC Act. Council left the issue to ALC and the property owner to resolve. In 2007, another neighbour told council that when filming began several years ago, the residents thought it was “nice and novel.” But it didn’t take long before the thrill was gone, prompting the resident to say that filming created a “a horrible, horrible situation” that has increasingly deteriorated.

Missing teen found one day later DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

Items we use everyday, like gasoline, are taxed at the same rate under HST. However, services like landscaping are taxed more.

Under HST, 80% of what we buy costs the same. Some things cost more, while a few items – like diapers – cost less.

was unable to re-board, police said. He was last seen leaving the Greyhound bus station in Calgary around 7:30 Thursday morning (May 26) without his luggage. He had apparently contacted someone using a computer in the bus terminal.

Goods like furniture, electronics, and video games have the same amount of tax as they had before the HST was implemented.

Calgary police issued a public appeal for help in locating the missing teen. The teen was located Friday (May 27) when he returned to the bus terminal. He was reportedly put up for the night by a Good Samaritan family, and was to travel to Langley on Friday.

Every three months 1.1 million lower income British Columbians receive an HST rebate.

SPONSOR OF THE MONTH

Abbotsford International Airport (YXX) Located in the heart of the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford International Airport (YXX) serves more than 500,000 passengers annually from Surrey to Hope. Conveniently located just minutes off the trans-Canada highway in the City of Abbotsford, YXX offers daily service to Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver Island as well as a seasonal weekly charter service to Mexico. With close, affordable parking, on-site wi-fi service, and self-serve check in kiosks, Abbotsford International Airport is the preferred choice for travelers wanting a friendly, easy and stress-free travel experience. In addition to numerous business development activities currently underway, the Abbotsford International Airport is also in the middle of a more than $30 million infrastructure improvement project to enhance and improve the airport terminal and runways made possible by stimulus funding from the Federal and Provincial governments. The project includes a new 9,600 parallel taxiway, a significantly enlarged primary apron and aircraft run-up, a new field electrical system, and a complete makeover of the passenger terminal – all to help YXX meet the demands of an ever-increasing air traffic market. Business development manager for the airport Jean-Paul Laube says, “Generally speaking, our feeling is that a sizeable industrial development market is growing in Abbotsford and the Fraser Valley, and that the time for engagement is now.” Laube calls Abbotsford “the best place to do business in western Canada”, and YXX’s expansion bears this out: to support the project, City Council approved a revitalization tax exemption for industrial development at the airport and implemented a progressive development

cost charge policy. “The Airport Authority is also taking a very proactive approach to incentivizing new developments with its land use policies and commercial terms,” adds Laube. This dovetails with plans to expand Abbotsford’s aerospace industry and cargo opportunities.” In order to generate the greatest long-term economic benefit for Abbotsford and the Fraser Valley, YXX is also partnering with the University of the Fraser Valley, Conair and Cascade Aerospace; this will ensure that its business development strategies are in lock-step with key airport partners and that airport business development satisfies its stakeholders. “The larger vision is to continue to leverage the airport as an economic catalyst and create jobs, develop industry and meet the needs of its true owners: the people of Abbotsford,” says Laube.

HST is good for business, business is good for the economy, and a strong economy is good for all British Columbians. Granted that’s a pretty blunt opening to this article, but one that I truly believe. We all know the implementation of the HST was a catastrophe of the greatest political proportions, and clearly the people of British Columbia have made that clear. As a result the BC Liberals have received a serious reprimand from the public and the party has paid a devastating price. But we cannot let our disappointment, distrust or anger cloud the important decision we all must make in the upcoming HST referendum. Politics aside, we must look at the tax on its own merits; compare it to returning to the previous PST plus HST environment, and understand what that means to British Columbians today and in the future. You have undoubtedly already seen and heard much information coming from various sources in an effort to inform, educate and even persuade you how to vote on June 24th. I suppose that in a sense this article is not unlike many others that you have already read. However, I am not going to list the pros and cons of the two tax regimes for you, people much more intelligent and knowledgeable than I are working hard to breakdown, simplify and communicate the HST / PST question for us. My goal in writing this article is for every person who reads this, to take the upcoming referendum seriously. To do their due diligence, seek out the information, listen to both sides of the

debate and make an informed decision. Certainly, part of your decision will stem from the credibility of the individual parties that are disseminating the information to us, and only you can decide what to believe, and who to trust. I particularly ask you to consider the far reaching and long term effects of the referendum, and not just take a “what is in it for me”, or “what does it mean today” point of view. We are about to make what I call a “generational decision”, one that will impact the quality of life for ourselves, our children, our grandchildren and beyond. The longer term impacts of the HST should be our main focus, it is those impacts that will be of the greatest consequence. That is not to say that I think the HST is a short term negative, I truly believe it is the right tax for BC today and tomorrow. So in closing, I encourage you to read the mailings, listen to the debates, filter through the facts and propaganda, and then cast your vote on June 24. This is a rare moment in the life of British Columbians where through our vote; we hold the ultimate responsibility to make a decision which will affect the future of our province for generations to come. I urge you to take that responsibility seriously. Milt Kruger, President Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce

FIRST IN BC - OUTPATIENT CARE AND SURGERY CENTRE OPENS IN SURREY

Unique facility offers better care for outpatients The delivery of health care in Surrey will change forever on June 1, with the opening of the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre at 140 Street and Fraser Highway. The four-storey, 188,000-square-foot facility will be the first in B.C. to bring together more than 50 services and programs, including day surgery, exclusively for outpatients – those who don’t require an overnight stay or emergency care. Day surgeries, chronic disease management, specialist visits, diagnostic scans and other services that commonly take place in a hospital setting will shift to this innovative new space, custom-built to meet the needs of outpatients in Surrey and throughout the Fraser Health region. The Centre is expected to receive more than 450,000 visits a year, including most of the 134,000 outpatient clinic visits and 94,000 outpatient diagnostic procedures that take place each year at Surrey Memorial Hospital. “We’re evolving our service-delivery strategy with the goal of providing the right care in the best place for the patient,” said Dr. Nigel Murray, President and CEO of Fraser Health. “The Centre will not only provide better care

for outpatients, but will free up capacity that can help us improve care in our hospitals and other facilities.” Distinct environment One key question guided the construction and design of the Centre: “What will serve the patient best?” The answer is apparent from the moment you step into the lobby, a bright and welcoming space that embodies the feel of the entire building. Light streams in through floor-to-ceiling windows, the aroma of coffee wafts over from the coffee bar, and finding your way around is easier with computer Express Check-in kiosks and clear signage. As you move through the building, distinct tree-inspired motifs and different colour schemes on each floor (along with reception areas and signs) help you stay oriented, even if English is not your first language. The patient-focused design is everywhere throughout the Centre, from sky ceiling murals in MRI and CT rooms to living room-style seating and ample use of windows that bring the outside in. The soundproofed exam rooms have plenty of space to accommodate family members. Or they can wait for you in the window-lined

“The Centre will not only provide better care for outpatients, but will free up capacity that can help us improve care in our hospitals and other facilities.” seating areas on each floor, with views of trees and gardens. If you need a moment alone, visit the non-denominational sacred space on the first floor. “We didn’t want it to feel like a hospital or an office building, and it doesn’t,” said Barry Pearce, Chief Project Officer. “The whole focus was on the patient’s needs and comfort.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The focus here is timely, accessible, well-rounded care and convenience for patients.â&#x20AC;? Integrated, expanded care The Centre takes an integrated â&#x20AC;&#x153;one-stop-shopâ&#x20AC;? approach to patient care that views each patient as a whole person rather than an individual illness. To those with multiple conditions, such as diabetes and a weak heart, this will mean fewer medical visits along with a more comprehensive picture of what they need to do to improve their overall health. Care providers from different service areas will not only work together â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with the help of technology that assists with information-sharing and scheduling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but will also collaborate with patients through a strong focus on education and empowerment. Most of the Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50-plus clinics and programs are either new or enhanced, featuring new technology, larger space, additional staffing and increased service hours. Some of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;firstsâ&#x20AC;? to be found at the Centre include: s A NEW BREAST HEALTH CLINIC USING A %UROPEAN approach that reduces diagnosis time for cases of suspected breast cancer,

s &RASER (EALTH S FIRST %XTRACORPOREAL 3HOCK 7AVE Lithotripsy to provide a procedure to non-invasively treat kidney stones, s THE &RASER 6ALLEY S FIRST COMPREHENSIVE ()6 !)$3 (EPATITIS # PROGRAM AND s 3URREY S FIRST PRIMARY CARE CLINIC SERVING PATIENTS who have been treated at Surrey Memorial Hospital who are without access to a family doctor for follow-up care. Other programs and services include a variety of specialty clinics (e.g. diabetes, heart, lung, pain, seniors and neurology), urology services, maternity services, diagnostic services (e.g. ultrasound, x-ray, CT and MRI scans), day surgeries and surgical procedures, scopes and biopsies. Ultimately, the overall goal is to provide faster access to patient-centred care, resulting in better health and quality of life for patients, and fewer visits to the hospital or emergency room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The focus here is timely, accessible, well-rounded care and convenience for patients,â&#x20AC;? explained Dr.

JUNE 2011 BUSINESS BREAKFAST CLUB

BUILDING A GREAT COMPANY How & Why to go from Making a Profit to Making a Difference Wednesday, June 29, 2011 Speaker: Richard J. Goossen, Senior Relationships Manager & Strategic Planning Specialist, Covenant Planning Group Inc. Business used to be just about making a profit; now stakeholders expect much more. Both customers and employees expect a company to have a soul—to be interested in making a difference in its community. A company will never reach its true potential unless it goes beyond just making a profit— which is indeed the crucial engine of the company—to engaging employees in making a difference in the community. In today’s environment, leading companies are pro-active, engaged, collaborative and focus their difference-making activities on their core strengths. Making a difference, sometimes referred to as “corporate social responsibility,” then becomes a core part of a company’s competitive advantage.

Cash flow Dave Pittet will channel the spirit of the Man in Black when Big River rolls into Cascades Casino on June 10 BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

he Man in Black may be gone, but he’s not forgotten. And thanks to Nanaimo’s Dave Pittet, fans of the country legend can still hear him sing once in a while. Well, sort of. Pittet performs as Johnny Cash in Big River — a tribute to Cash and his music — and he’s coming to Langley’s Cascades Casino on Friday, June 10. Strangely, perhaps, it’s not as though Pittet was a life-long fan of Cash. In fact, during his early days, the singer’s tastes ran more to good old fashioned ’70s rock and roll. “The stuff I loved — Led Zeppelin — I couldn’t sing that, not with my deep voice,” said Pittet, over the phone. It was about four years ago, after

watching the Cash biopic starring Joaquin Phoenix, that the idea for Big River started to flow. “I was singing along to Walk the Line and my girlfriend said, ‘You sound more like Johnny than him,’” he laughed. As he chats, Pittet occasionally bursts into song to illustrate a point, and, yes, the similarity to the man who inspired him is more than a little striking. Starting out Pittet, like most people, knew many of Cash’s more popular songs, but it was only through studying and reading about the artist that he became familiar with some of his lesser known work. “There’s so much more to him. I love a lot of his obscure tunes,” said Pittet. And he’s happy to share them in concert. “I do a few of those to pique people’s curiosity and educate them,” he said. He tells a few stories along the way —

each one leading into another song. For Pittet, Cash’s iconic driving beats are a huge appeal. “I love that track beat stuff . . . it makes you want to get up and shake a leg.” Pittet and Big River have been touring across B.C. and Alberta for the last year and a half. Over that time, as he’s looked out into the crowd, the singer has seen a bit of everything. “There’s no one particular bunch of rednecks who listen to Johnny Cash,” he said. At unlicensed shows, he’s had audience members as young as nine, at others, people as old as 90. “We’ve had punk rockers and metal heads, the guy in the suit and little old ladies.” The reason for the broad appeal is simple, said Pittet.

“(Cash) was reachable to anyone — he wasn’t about flash. He was a touchable guy; you could run into him at a movie theatre or walk up to him and say ‘How’re you doing?’” “He was an ordinary fellow who had some dynamite songs.” And while Pittet is happy to give Cash’s fans a chance to relive a few memories through song, he’s not trying to fool anyone. “I don’t pretend to be the man, but I can get damn close with my talking voice, and even closer singing.” For more on Pittet and Big River, go to www.johnnycashtribute.ca Big River performs at Summit Theatre inside Cascades Casino on Friday, June 10 at 8 p.m. (Doors open at 7 p.m.) Tickets are $24.50, available at www. ticketweb.ca and Casino Guest Services.

Mixing paint and memories Richard Brodeur talks art and hockey, and reveals plans to call Langley home BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

England’s future king and queen may be giving this part of Canada a miss when they embark on their first official visit this summer, but their presence may not be missed so much in Fort Langley. The village will soon boast its very own monarch. “King” Richard Brodeur announced Sunday that he is moving to Fort Langley as soon as next month. The former NHL goaltender and painter made the proclamation at the Lamplighter Café during an evening of fine art and fine dining hosted by the Birthplace of B.C. Gallery, where his work has been displayed for the past couple of years. Although best known in these parts for his heroics on the ice, Brodeur actually began pursuing his off-ice passion — painting — early in his life as well, picking up a brush at 16. It is a talent he believes he inherited from his father, who could draw with ease but never pursued art, even as a hobby. Painted in bright acrylics — with red often playing a prominent role — Brodeur’s work mainly depicts scenes from his childhood in Longueuil, Que., where he and his brothers joined the other boys in the neighbourhood (and, no, girls weren’t welcome) on the outdoor ice rinks where they spent their winter days wrapped up in games of shinny. Others are set at his uncle’s pig farm, where he spent summers haying and

Brodeur feels lucky, he said, to have been able to pursue both of his big passions, even though the two didn’t mesh all that well. Going through a Stanley Cup run, as his team did in 1982, players learn a lot about one another, he said, but many of

CARRIERS WANTED! The Langley Times and The Aldergrove Star are looking for youth and adult carriers in your subdivision.

Brodeur’s teammates were unaware until a couple of years ago, that he was also an artist. He kept his two loves separate for a reason. When you have a bunch of macho athletes gathered in a dressing room, he said, “you don’t want to see a guy come in with his brushes.” Although the night was a celebration of Brodeur’s art, conversation inevitably turned to the Vancouver Canucks’ run for the team’s first Stanley Cup and his own experience, nearly 30 years ago. The retired goalie talked about one game in particular, when the Canucks beat the Chicago Blackhawks in double overtime on their way to the finals against the New York Islanders. The staircase between the dressing room and the ice surface in the old Chicago Stadium, was long and very steep, and climbing it in full gear was getting tougher with each break between periods. As the team returned to the ice for the second overtime, Brodeur turned to a teammate, and said: “One of you guys better f****ing score, because I’m not climbing these stairs again.” Although that squad fell just short of championship glory, Brodeur told the gathering on Sunday night that he is confident this will be Vancouver’s year. “Yes, I believe the Canucks are going to win the Stanley Cup,” the King proclaimed. “And, yes, I believe Luongo will be a key factor.”

Building on an idea Artistic inspiration is all around, — you simply need to know where to look for it. Daily trips past the multitude of construction sites that seem to dominate Lower Mainland roads provided just the catalyst Maple Ridge artist Kristin Krimmel was seeking. Her upcoming exhibit at the Fort Gallery, Construction/Deconstruction builds on the idea that a construction site is more than just concrete and gravel — it has its own eye-catching elements as well. Over the past five years, there has been an unusual amount of construction going on around Greater Vancouver in preparation for the Olympics, including the cut and cover construction of the Canada Line near Krimmel’s former home at Cambie and 41st; and later in Maple Ridge near her new home, with the construction of the new Pitt and the Golden Ears Bridges. While the construction itself was disruptive and grungy, Krimmel took a childlike interest in the bright coloured machines that made it all happen — the excavators, bulldozers, cranes and other equipment. On a grey day, a bright yellow ‘dozer or a bright orange excavator can be the only lively looking thing, amidst dirt and gravel. Construction is about new building, said the artist. It sometimes requires demolishing or taking apart what was there before — its deconstruction. In painting, she is interested in the “guts” of an image — the shapes, the textures, the surface qualities, the spatial relation-

The construction machines have given her the opportunity to deconstruct the original photo-like image into component parts, to abstract it, to play with ideas of weight and balance, shapes, formalities of composition, and ideas.

Roy Henderson and his sons Taylor (left) and Bobby officially take control of the Langley Rivermen today (June 1) as the junior A hockey club’s new owners. The team is also co-owned by John Henderson, Roy’s older brother. Hockey has been a family business for the Hendersons their entire life.

Hockey a family affair GARY AHUJA Times Sports

he fact that the entire Henderson clan is involved in hockey comes as little surprise to the family’s patriarch. After all, the way Roy Henderson described it, his two sons were born into hockey. Within days of both sons being born, Henderson boasts that the newborns were already at the hockey rink, where their dad spent much of his time. So it is only fitting, that all these years later, the game still plays a central part in the Hendersons’ lives. Henderson, along with his older brother John, officially take control of Langley’s junior A hockey club today (June 1). And Roy’s sons, Bobby, 29, and Taylor, 22, will play key roles in the day-to-day operations of the team. “These kids have a degree in hockey,” Roy said. “They have both been around the game since day one, since they were just a few days old. “In all honestly, they have seen all aspects of the game.” Roy, who played minor hockey, got into the hockey business when he was in his 30s, landing a scouting job with the old Kamloops Oilers and Bill Laforge. Roy was a natural fit. “I had a passion for the game and I was good at writing reports,” he explained, adding that his day job as a probation officer made him a good investigator which translated well

to his new side job. Within a couple of years, Roy had progressed to the point where he landed in the NHL as the Philadelphia Flyers’ western scout. “It wasn’t to be in the NHL, I just enjoyed (scouting),” Roy said. The gig, in the 1980s, lasted for three years. This was right around when his eldest son, Bobby, was getting ready to start playing at the minor hockey level and Roy wanted to spend less time away from home and more time watching his own son play. But that didn’t stop Roy’s involvement in the game. He turned his focus to junior hockey in B.C., building a Centennial Cup-winning team with the Richmond Sockeyes. There was also a stint with the New Westminster Royals, a team which lost only three games the entire season. A proponent of a good college education, Roy’s next venture was creating Global Sports Scouting Services Inc. 20 years ago. “There was a need for helping kids get scouted by the NCAA,” he explained about the business venture. What began with about 90 or so kids looking to get scouted in Burnaby has grown to include camps in Las Vegas and Chicago.

About 1,150 players — peewee, bantam, midget and junior — are registered for the camp this year. And now comes the latest venture: owning a team. “It is all about giving something back to the community and the hockey people,” Roy said. “Sports are wonderful when you are giving kids an opportunity to maybe go off to college.” Both sons will play integral but different roles with the Rivermen. Bobby, a former captain of the Chiefs who went on to play at the NCAA level, is an assistant coach and one of the main recruiters. Both also had roles with Global Sports Scouting. Taylor, whose minor hockey days ended after peewee, is handling the business aspect of the team. “I have always been interested in sports marketing, so this was a natural fit,”Taylor explained. “And it is the family business, you watch it evolve and it is really exciting.” The fact Bobby wound up behind the bench is no big surprise. “I pretty much grew up in the hockey rink,” he said, talking about being a stick boy for the junior clubs his dad ran. “And even when I was still

playing, I knew I wanted to be a coach.” Following his playing days at the University of NebraskaOmaha, Bobby admitted to being burned out. “I just wasn’t having fun at the rink, I knew I needed a break away from it,” he said. What he did do was coach a team of 12-year-olds, which he called rewarding. “Young guys are like sponges, you could teach them so much at that age,” Bobby said. Roy sees himself in Bobby, marveling at the way his eldest recruits. Taylor takes after his uncle John, a chartered accountant, for his business savvy. Roy loves the fact that he gets to work with his sons. The key is for everyone to know their roles. “Anytime you have family working together in a business, it is great, but it has its challenges,” Taylor warned.“Communication can be an issue sometimes, establishing the ‘dad’ hat and the ‘boss’ hat and the ‘son’ hat and the ‘employee’ hat. “In our family, everyone knows their roles in the Global business and now the Rivermen,” he added. “We know what has to be done.” UUUUU The Rivermen are holding a press conference on Thursday (June 2) at the Langley Events Centre, where the team will announce a new head coach as well as some player signings.

For the second straight year, Georgia Ellenwood has captured the gold medal in the heptathlon. The Langley Secondary student won four of her seven events over the weekend at Abbotsford’s Rotary Stadium during the B.C. provincial high school track and field combined events provincial championships. Ellenwood finished with 4,847 points, which is just shy of the provincial record set by Langley track and field legend Kelly Ann Kempf, who scored 5,024 points in 1988. Ellenwood was tops in the high jump, long jump, 200m and 400m. She was second in the 100m hurdles and shot put and fourth in the javelin throw. And Ellenwood was not the only local athlete to reach the podium. Walnut Grove’s Shelby Smithson placed third in the heptathlon with 3,776 points. Her Gators teammate, Keara Graham, placed seventh with 3,409 points. In the men’s decathlon, Brookswood’s Adam Osborne finished fifth with 5,625 points. He won the pole vault portion of the 10-event decathlon with a throw of 4.0m. The rest of the B.C. high school track and field championships run this Friday and Saturday at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium.

LOVETT QUALIFIES New Mexico Lobos freshman Django Lovett has qualified for the NCAA track and field championships. The first-year Lobos track and field athlete, a Brookswood graduate, qualified in both the high jump and triple jump over the weekend. Lovett, who turns 19 next month, was competing in the NCAA west preliminaries in Eugene, Ore. and placed 10th in the high jump, clearing 2.11m. The jump was just short of his collegiate and personal best, which Lovett set earlier this season when he cleared 2.18m. The height was also a new Mountain West Conference mark. The NCAA championships are June 8-11 in Des Moines, Iowa.

A golden time at nationals Langley weightlifter has sights set on world championships NICK GREENIZAN Black Press

WE’VE DROPPED OUR RATES

It won’t exactly be springtime in Paris when Katelynn Williams and Christine Girard head to the city of lights in November, but they may not have much time for sightseeing, anyhow. That’s because the pair of Semi Weightlifting Club members will be focused on a more important task — winning a medal at the world weightlifting championships. The duo qualified for the world championships at the national championships held in Scarborough, Ont. Williams — whom Semi coach Dieter Stamm called “a real darkhorse” heading into the competition — captured gold in the women’s 75-kg class, lifting a combined 209 kg in clean-and-jerk and snatch.

Brian GIEBELHAUS/Black Press file photo

Katelynn Williams returned from the Canadian national weightlifting championships with the gold medal in the women’s 75-kg class. Her total score was seven kilograms better than Yukon’s Jeanne Lassen, a Canadian Olympian who competed at the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing. In third place was another lifter with plenty of international experience, Ontario’s Kara Doherty, who now live and trains in the United States.

“Katelynn came in as one of the younger, lesser (experienced) lifters — she was up against some very good competition,” Stamm said. “But she was incredible — she did just a super, bang-up job. Amazing.” The 24-year-old, who graduated from Brookswood in 2005, has been lifting since 2002.

INJURED

Joining Williams on the podium was Girard, a former Olympian herself. Competing in the women’s 63-kg division, she outlifted the competition by a considerable margin — her total score of 222 kg was 52 kg better than secondplace lifter Kristel Ngarlem. “Pretty impressive to win by that much,” Stamm said. “She won quite handily.” Williams and Girard will now spend the summer preparing for world championships, slated for Paris in November. And Stamm is confident both have a chance to make the podium there, too. Girard is already one of the world’s elite female lifters – she finished fourth at the Beijing Olympics and won a gold medal at last year’s Commonwealth Games — but Stamm said Williams, too, is making big strides. “She has an excellent chance at worlds. She did well last weekend — very well — but I don’t think that was her at her best yet,” the longtime weightlifting coach said. “I think she can get even better. She still has more to give.”

Island split for Thunder A weekend split gives the Langley Jr. Thunder two win in their past three games. The junior A lacrosse club was on Vancouver Island and after posting a 13-6 win over the Nanaimo Jr. Timbermen on Friday night, Langley fell 10-8 to the Victoria Jr. Shamrocks. In the victory, Langley used a dominating middle stanza where they exploded for eight goals to turn a one-goal advantage into a six-goal lead. The trio of Reegan Comeault (five goals, four assists), Brandon Bull (four goals, two assists) and Sean Lundstrom (two goals, four assists) were absolutely dominant in the victory.

Adam Will and Nathan Henare had the other goals, while Ryley Brown made 36 saves for the win. Against the Shamrocks, Langley led 4-3 early in the second period, before Victoria scored seven of the final 10 goals to win 10-8. Nick Stone led the offence with four goals and one assist while Comeault had a goal and four helpers. Lundstrom, Bull and Max Weselowski had a goal apiece. The loss snapped the team’s modest two-game winning streak and was the first defeat for head coach Chris Levis, who took over after the Thunder began the season 0-4.

Langley Jr. Blaze’s Nick Rutckyj slides into second base against the Victoria Jr. Eagles during Saturday’s doubleheader at McLeod Park. The Blaze went 4-0 on the weekend and reached the halfway point of the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League with a 22-2 record.

tries over the weekend. Langley edged the Victoria Jr. Eagles 4-2 and 4-3 on Saturday, and then swept the Fraser Valley Jr. Chiefs 5-2 and 10-0 on Sunday. All four games were at McLeod Park. See www.langleytimes.com for recaps. And with such an eyepopping record, it is no coincidence the team is dominating several statistical categories. Nick Rutckyj is batting .486, and of his 35 hits, 14 (10 doubles, three triples and a home run) have gone for extra bases. He is also tops in RBIs with 26 and third in runs with 23. Teammate Tanner Shaer is second in that category, having crossed home plate 26 times. Blaze players occupy the top four spots for hits, as Preston Kokatailo (28), Shaer (27) and Tyler O’Neill (27) have a monopoly on that statistic. Shaer is also fourth in batting average, hitting .397. On the mound, Langley is also excelling. Mitchell Kennedy has a league-best 7-0 record and he is tied for complete games, with five. Aaron Mantle (0.72), Liam Stroud (0.92), Kennedy (1.02) and Jon Bauer (1.05) hold spots four through seventh in earned run average and Mantle and Stroud sit two-three for strikeouts with 41 and 40, respectively. UUUUU After stretching their win streak to nine games with an 11-1 victory, the Langley Blaze finished the weekend with their first back-toback losses of the season. The Blaze fell 3-1 to the North Shore Twins in game two of a doubleheader on Saturday at Parkgate Park and then 2-1 to the leagueleading Nanaimo Pirates on Sunday at Serauxmen Stadium. The Pirates improved to 13-2 while Langley fell to 19-5 in the B.C. U18 Premier Baseball League standings. In the victory over the Twins, Langley put the game out of reach early with 11 runs in the first three innings. Justin Atkinson paced the offence with three RBIs while Tyler Barlow scored three runs and drove in a pair. Karl Malecek picked up the win. In the two defeats, Atkinson had both Langley RBIs.
