Fraser River
No flooding fears for lower Fraser River River levels may be above normal, but the situation is not as bad as in 2007. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Provincial government experts do not believe that heavy snowpacks and a cool
spring will cause major floods on the Lower Fraser River. Langley and its neighbours will likely avoid the worst effects of high water that is causing flooding in parts of the Interior. According to Dave Campbell, of the River Forecast Centre, snowpack levels in the upper Fraser basin are currently about 110 to 115 per cent above normal levels.
That’s still below the 138 per cent levels seen in 2007, when authorities up and down the Fraser readied for a potentially catastrophic flood. Water levels were slow to rise because cold temperatures delayed the melting of snow, but are now catching up to normal. Peak flows and high water on the Fraser are usually seen in late May and early June.

Help raise awareness & funds for CNIB 5 tips for Preventing Vision Loss 1
Protect your eyes from sunlight. Overexposure to sunlight can cause long-term, irreversible damage to your eyes. 2 Get your eyes checked regularly. Early detection of an eye disease is key to getting treatment and maintaining your sight. 3 Quit smoking. Smokers are up to four times more likely to develop AMD, the leading cause of vision loss in Canada.
4
Get healthy. Excess weight, high blood pressure and a high-fat diet are all risk factors for AMD and diabetic retinopathy. 5 Get your vitamins. A high dose of vitamin supplements has been shown to reduce the risk or slow the progression of AMD and cataracts.

After years of supporting the Cancer Society, a Langley man is now in treatment himself. by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Jerry Gibbons and his family and friends have taken part in the Langley Relay for Life for many years, forming teams and raising money for the Canadian Cancer Society. They’ve seen friends and family members struggle with the disease, but this year the cause is especially close to their hearts. For the first time this year, Gibbons will walk the track at McLeod Athletic Park wearing a yellow shirt, the mark of someone who has, or has survived, cancer. Gibbons is still in treatment. His transition from a supporter of the Cancer Society to a patient happened abruptly in February. “It was very little warning,” said Gibbons. He was working at a local painting company, a job he’s held most of his adult life, when he collapsed. “I just fell to the floor,” he said. He didn’t think it was that serious, but he was taken to the hospital, and a CAT scan found two tumours. He was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, an aggressive form of cancer. “It’s a spreading cancer,” he said. “It is Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance terminal.” Tracy Lawrie and her dad Jerry Gibbons will be Relaying in honour of Jerry’s battle with brain cancer.

Victims
Daughter pleads for details by Troy Landreville
tlandreville@langleyadvance.com
Eleven-year-old Lexus BurkholderWhitmee misses her dad terribly. And Saturday, May 14, outside the Langley Chapters bookstore, Lexus, along with her mom Heather Burkholder, made a public plea, through the media, for anyone with details about Christopher Whitmee’s shooting death to come forward. At about 11 p.m. on May 16, 2009, shots were heard inside the Legacy Show Lounge in Cloverdale. Two victims were transported to hospital. Whitmee, 34, of Surrey, died from his injuries. “If somebody did that, he’s gotta have told his girlfriend, his friend… I just hope somebody would have the decency to come and tell someone about it, hopefully tell the police, so they can solve it,” Lexus said. Lexus said it is hard to answer questions at school about her father. “Or if they [friends] come over and I have to give them all the details,” she said, her voice trembling. “Just small things like that. It just sucks. I have to go to soccer games and such and he won’t be able to be there.” Burkholder urged anyone with information to come forward. “What if it was your family member, your dad, your friend?” she asked, wiping away tears. “You would want people to help you. We would. We would help.” The family held a flyer campaign as an aid to the investigation. Friends and associates of Whitmee’s were at Chapters to

Lexus Burkholder-Whitmee held up a flyer containing details about her dad’s murder, and asking for the public’s help in the investigation. obtain flyers before posting them in Langley and other communities. A $10,000 reward is being offered. Each flyer reads: “His family & friends are pleading for the public to provide us with information that anyone must have... regardless of whether they feel it’s important or not. Someone must know something. Any info is desperately needed... let the homicide team figure out what’s important. Anonymous tips are important. Imagine this was your family, your child, father, or one of your friends. We all just need to know the truth.” A man was seen fleeing the bar immediately after the shooting.
The suspect was thought to be in his early 20s, wearing dark clothing including a dark hooded jacket. He was seen leaving through a rear door of the building and into the alley. He was last seen running northeast in the alley. To date this man has not been identified. Investigators learned that minutes after the shooting a hit and run collision took place at the nearby intersection of Highway 10 and 176th Street. The victim vehicle was completing a left turn from Highway 10 to travel north on 176th Street when a vehicle travelling west on Highway 10 clipped its rear. The suspect vehicle continued west on Highway 10 without stopping. There were no injuries sustained by the victims in the hit and run incident. The suspect vehicle is described as a smaller dark coloured, two-door vehicle. Police are looking to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the hit and run. They are appealing to the driver of the hit and run to come forward. Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) investigators continue to appeal to the community for additional information on the murder. “Oftentimes people don’t approach police in the first instance after a serious crime like homicide. We have experienced that when we make a plea to the public it triggers something that causes people to have a change of heart and they decide to come forward to police” said Cpl. Dale Carr, with IHIT From the information they’ve gathered, investigators believe Whitmee was not the intended target. Police feel that they do know who the intended target was, however, are not able to release that name.

Parents packed the Township hall, but didn’t get to speak.
Former Coquitlam mayor Jon Kingsbury was handed a suspended sentence with two years probation Thursday morning for fraud and personation charges. In April, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Miriam Gropper found Kingsbury guilty of fraud over $5,000, personation with intent to gain advantage and causing someone to utter a forged document. The charges related to a stolen RV owned by business associate Jean Aussant. It was taken from a Langley RV dealership by Kingsbury, pretending to be Aussant. At the May 12 sentencing, Gropper also ordered Kingsbury to complete 150 hours of community service and to pay $300 in victim surcharges. Kingsbury said he plans to appeal the decision.

“TRUST THE PROS AT TIRELAND™”
A public hearing that drew more than 100 Willoughby slope residents to the Langley Township hall on Monday night was put off at the last minute. The council voted to defer a public hearing on a controversial townhouse project in the 19800 block of 70th Avenue for six weeks. The project has raised the ire of neighbours because the land was designated as a school site – many say they moved there in the hopes of being close to an elementary school. In April the district announced a swap between itself, the Township, and a developer to get a new site farther to the east in Willoughby. Councillor Jordan Bateman said the six-week delay will give the residents time to plead their case for the school to the board of education. “The school district obviously did not consult widely with neighbours on this issue,” Bateman said. The councillors tried to emphasize that they don’t have the power to build schools. Coun. Bob Long, who suggested the delay, said he hoped that in six weeks the situation might have changed for parents. Despite announcing the
swap almost a month ago, the school district still owns the land in question, with the proposed ownership transferring to a Surrey-based group of developers called the Bains Group. The final contracts have not been signed yet between the district and the prospective new owners. “The district sees no reason why it would not be signed eventually,” said school district spokesperson Craig Spence. Many residents of the area were not pleased with the abrupt end to the public hearing, having come to council to have their say, to be told to talk to the school board instead. Some shouted “Shame on you!” as they filed out. Although the residents had hoped for a school near their homes, the district does not seem to have had any near-term plans to build on the site. Money to build schools must come from the provincial Ministry of Education. Local school boards can lobby for more schools, but are often at the mercy of provinciallevel decisions. The Township can work with developers and the school board to ensure sites for schools, but has no power to build schools. A placard-waving protest is planned for the night of Tuesday, May 17, before the 7 p.m. start of the school board meeting.

Mushroom farm guilty
by Neal Hall
Postmedia Network Inc.
Two companies and three directors pleaded guilty today to failing to ensure the health and safety of three Langley mushroom farm workers who died and two who suffered brain damage. The companies, A-1 Mushroom Substratum Ltd. and H.V. Truong Ltd., along with three directors and supervisors, will be sentenced Sept. 16 at Surrey Provincial Court. They pleaded guilty to four counts of contravening Workers Compensation Act and health and safety regulations. The maximum penalty of the offences is a fine of $619,271 for a first offence and six months in jail. The 2008 incident resulted in the deaths of Ut Tran, Jimmy Chan and Ham Pham. Their colleagues, Michael Phan and Thang Tchen, suffered irreversible brain damage after breathing in hydrogen sulphide and ammonia.
A total of 29 charges, which are not criminal offences, were laid last August after a 20-month investigation by WorkSafeBC into what went wrong at the mushroom composting facility at 23751 16th Ave., Langley. The charges were brought under the Workers’ Compensation Act and Occupational Health and Safety Regulations. The probe was delayed initially because of the presence of hazardous materials in the composting operation for seven months following the tragedy. The mushroom composting operation ceased after the accident but the mushroom farm still operates at that location. In addition to A-1 Mushroom Substratum Ltd. and H.V. Truong Ltd., charged were three brothers involved in H.V. Truong Ltd. – Ha Qua Truong, Vy Tri Truong, and Van Thi Truong – as well as A-1 owner and supervisor Thinh Huu Doan. Ha Qua Truong, Van Thi Truong and Thinh Huu Doan pleaded guilty Friday. Charges were stayed against Vy Tri Truong because of insufficient evidence. The pleas were admissions to failing to ensure the health and safety of workers.

River runs cool Here we go again. The relatively cold spring has everybody talking about the weather. And all these decades after Mark Twain’s famous admonition, there’s still nobody doing anything about it. On the other hand, maybe that’s not such a bad thing. After all, the unusually cool spring may be a bane for gardeners and those who like to get out of their winter habits and into the outdoors, but it is part of what’s keeping last winter’s unusually large snow pack upriver where it belongs – or at least where we’d all like it to hang back so it can melt slowly and feed the Fraser River in bits and spirts. The alternative could put us where the folks on the Assiniboine River are right now – stressing over every inch that the water rises towards the tops of levies and dikes. Or watching the water inundate their farms through a controlled breach – a break created in hopes of staving off worse disaster downstream – and wondering if and how much government compensation might be coming to stave off personal disaster. Those of us who live along the Fraser River need to be aware of the mixed blessings that the waterway offers. The old timers who remember 1948 really aren’t that old. And the impressive results of the even greater flood of 1896 are awesome where they still are evident – for instance, the displacement of a mile of McMillan Island, shifting the main course of the Fraser to the Maple Ridge side of the river, and narrowing the Bedford Channel on the Langley side to a relative trickle. That’s the power of unchecked snow melt cascading down from the Interior, folks. It’s what’s wreaking havoc in Manitoba and Alabama, and also in our own province, at Prince George. Perhaps we ought to be thankful for our unseasonably cool spring. And thankful nobody has to be doing anything about it. – B.G.

Painful Truth
Independence saves money
Dear Editor, Mr. Claxton makes the point that most private schools are not really private [Who pays for private schooling?, May 12 Painful Truth, Langley Advance]. However, he is perhaps mistaken in his suggestion for a fiscal solution. The math, to me, says that the province paying only 35-50 per cent of the bill for “private” students makes good financial sense for B.C. Mary McNamee, Langley
Independent costs
Dear Editor, Parents bear the full cost of building independent schools. The cost to the public system to build schools for these 69,000 students would be huge. We pay school taxes PLUS the extra cost to send our children to these schools. Also, to get funding, independent schools must be below the cost per student of the public system.
Being fiscally responsible is a top priority. Bill Dehaas, Langley
Real goal masked
Perhaps the economic arguments against funding independent schools are really a mask. The real goal
is to ensure all students in the province absorb the same state-sponsored and union-endorsed dogmas. Robert A. Schouten, Aldergrove [Note: Fuller versions of these letters and others on this topic are online at www. langleyadvance.com.]
Fraser Insititute
Class differences magnified
Dear Editor, Matthew Claxton made it clear: “There are two classes of parents in this province” [Who pays for private schooling?, May 12 Painful Truth, Langley Advance]. There always have been two classes, but the differences are now greater under the Fraser Institute’s microscope, magnified still more by budget restraints. With adequate provincial government funding, Langley class size agreements could have been honoured. With ministry funding for capital projects such as new, long-planned schools, Willoughby parents would by now have their new school construction plans. Instead, parents are forced to protest the loss of their new school site to a council with little responsibility here. Willoughby parents should take their concerns to Hon. Rich Coleman, Hon. George Abbott, and Premier Christy Clark. Larri Woodrow, Walnut Grove [Note: A fuller version of this letter is online at www.langleyadvance.com.]
Education
Langley decimated by BC Liberals Dear Editor, Like others in B.C., Langley School District has been decimated by a decade of deliberate underfunding by the BC Liberal government. Government memos produced as exhibits in the recent Supreme Court case reveal the extent of the deception that preceded then-Minister of Education Christy Clark’s January 2002 legislature speech claiming the Public Education Flexibility and Choice Act was all about “putting students first.” The cuts to services with special needs prompted the Langley Teachers’ Association to sponsor the Langley Special Education Inquiry in 2008, where we heard about the devastating impact of the funding cuts. We’ve also co-sponsored two Dialogues on Debt. Unfortunately, our two Liberal MLAs have not accepted our invitations to
attend any of these community forums. It is gratifying that ultimately the Supreme Court of B.C. has agreed with teachers. On May 5, after considering the options, Minister of Education George Abbott announced that the government will not be appealing the unequivocal court ruling. The LTA has written to the Langley Board of Education, calling on all trustees to adopt a legal budget which restores the class size and composition limits stripped from our legally negotiated contract in 2002. This is local trustees’ opportunity to stop doing the government’s dirty work. They were elected to be accountable to local voters, parents and students – not the provincial Liberal government. Langley Teachers’ Association [Note: A fuller version of this letter is online at www.langleyadvance.com.]
Langley politics
Candidates needs to do homework Dear Editor, I read aspiring mayor Jack Froese’s letter to the editor [Budget council responsibility, April 29 Letters, Langley Advance] with a great deal of skepticism. He did not do his homework before putting his foot into his mouth. His criticism of Mayor Rick Green is unwarranted. One of Mayor Green’s first tasks upon being elected was to appoint a standing committee on finance to assist in the budgeting process. Instead of implementing a one per cent property tax increase, as recommended by the committee, council levied a five per cent tax increase during a time of economic downturn.
TODAY’S FLYERS... in the
A one per cent increase was achievable. The municipality had accumulated surpluses over the years, which could have been temporarily accessed during tough economic times, and there was fat that could have been trimmed from the budget. Rick Green is a breath of fresh air. He is not prepared to accept the status quo. His questioning of decisions made by previous councils – including the recent $.9 million settlement related to the Langley Events Centre – has resulted in the “six pack” scurrying to cover their backsides. They are so busy trying to discredit Mayor Green that they have totally
Shark starts on top
Dear Editor, Jack Froese wrote his letter to the editor in the guise of a shark, methinks. I don’t recall him having served his apprenticeship in municipal politics, and now he wants to be our mayor. Perhaps he could help us unseat one of the “pack” first. Win Bromley, Langley Township [Note: Fuller versions of these letters and others on this topic are online at www. langleyadvance.com.]

Bordertown cops trap man in tree Woman attacks over dead dog
by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
One man climbed a tree to try and hide from pursuing Langley and Abbotsford police officers during a Project Bordertown patrol in Aldergrove last week. On the morning of May 11, officers from the project checked out a property in the 26800 block of 60th Avenue that is known for property
crime, said Cpl. Holly Marks of the Langley RCMP. They spotted a Toyota Camry leaving the property, and a quick check of its licence plate number revealed it had been stolen in Burnaby. The police turned on their lights and sirens, and the Camry headed into a driveway just a few hundred metres from where it had started. Two men jumped out of the Camry and ran for it. The officers tried to chase them but lost sight of the suspects, Marks said. However, a Police Dog Services team was there within minutes, and managed to track one man down on a nearby property.
He had climbed a tree. The second man was also located nearby a short time later. The two men – a 27-year-old from Salmo and a 32-year-old from Burnaby – are now facing possible charges of possession of stolen property, Marks said. The Project Bordertown initiative is a co-operative team of Abbotsford Police and Langley RCMP officers. It was created in February to deal with a surge in property crimes around Aldergrove and western Abbotsford. Criminals were moving back and forth over the municipal border, so the two police forces pooled their resources for a crackdown.

A woman armed with a crowbar, a can of pepper spray, and a screwdriver caused a major police incident, apparently out of grief for her dead pet. The Langley RCMP were called to the Langley Animal Clinic, in the 5700 block of 203rd Street, on May 6 after reports that a woman was “going crazy,” after her dog died, said RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. Police were told that she was using a crowbar to smash the clinic’s doors. When they arrived, the woman threw a cigarette lighter at one officer. She was carrying a can of pepper spray in one hand and a large screw-driver and a multi-tool in the other hand, said Marks. The woman was told to drop the pepper spray and other potential weapons. Instead, she climbed onto the hood of the police car and began yelling at the officer. After some time, she finally dropped the weapons, but refused to get off the car, Marks said. Two officers from the Emergency Response Team (ERT) arrived at the scene, and when they moved towards her, she jumped off the police cruiser and tried to run for it. She was caught and handcuffed after a short foot chase, but kicked and thrashed on the ground, trying to resist being restrained. She then allegedly began smashing her head into the pavement and grinding her face on the asphalt, apparently trying to injure herself, Marks said. The woman also managed to bite one of the officers on the hand. She was taken to hospital, and then handed back over to the Langley RCMP. Drugs may have been a factor in her behaviour, police said. The 25-year-old woman, of no fixed address, has been charged with assaulting a police officer. That’s in addition to the charge of assaulting a police officer and assault she is facing from a Jan. 13 incident, also in Langley. She is scheduled to appear in Surrey Provincial Court Tuesday, May 17. Staff at the Langley Animal Clinic declined to comment on the incident.

It was a chance for the family to give back to the community that had been home to McLeods for many years. “My grandfather came here in 1882 with $100 and a gold watch, and bought 130 acres,” explained Neil, one of the 1961 grads who now lives in Merritt. He said the school was surrounded by farms, horses and cows, very different than today. His family used to operate a store and snack food stand where the Christian Life Assembly church lot abuts LSS. He recalls using a hand cutter outside, behind the building, to force out endless amounts of french fries that were cooked up for hungry students and others.

Harvey Swenson was 27 when he started teaching at Langley Secondary, and at 82 he was still able to attend last weekend’s 50th reunion of the 1961 grad class. He taught at LSS for 15 years and came from the Shuswap to a parade of hugs and remiscing with the men and women he taught five decades ago. Jean (Sewell) Grant stopped him for a hug. “You were in my Grade 9 homeroom,” he commented. She and others in her class had presented him with a commemorative wooden dish – which still hangs in his home, he noted. The trip was a chance for the former students and staff to see how the school and community had changed in the intervening years. “It was pretty much farmland around the school,” Swenson explained. The school year followed the pattern of the seasons. Students would be kept home to work on the farm when needed. “In the past they would close the school to have the fall fair here,” Swenson said. Neil McLeod’s family used to own all the land in the area and sold the school

The Grochowski family gathered in the kitchen of their Aldergrove home Thursday morning, just one last time before work crews took over the house and began an extensive 10-day renovation. Dauncey said he was shocked when Josh Weeks – his family was the recipient of last year’s Extreme Home Repair – showed up with his entire rugby team from Aldergrove Community Secondary to assist in the demo. “All in all, things are going really great,” Dauncey said, noting that despite the weekend rain, the roof has been stripped, re-sheeted and reshingled. And thanks to at least 120 volunteers who have been involved, so far, they were also able to install the deck Sunday under tents – and with the aid of several heaters. Overall, he said, much of the structural work was completed as of Monday, and now much of the volunteer labour force is turning its energy to finishing work before the six members of the Grochowski family are brought home for the reveal on May 23. The family was evicted from their home on Thursday, when a small team of volunteers showed up to
start prepping the two-storey house for a complete makeover. The real extensive work began Friday, and is expected to wrap up minutes before Walt and Terry Grochowski bring their kids home next Monday. “It was a handyman special when we first bought it,” homeowner Terry Grochowski admitted. Her husband Walt elaborated, noting that, to the best of his understanding at the time, the top floor of the home was already a quarter century old and had formerly been a one-storey farmhouse from a neighbouring property that was put atop a house on the current site. But their do-it-yourself home repairs ground to a halt when their second oldest child, David, was killed in car accident in 2007. Walt described the makeover as a tribute of sorts to their son – and the beginning of a new chapter in the family’s lives.

Little did the army of volunteers know, when they signed on to renovate the Grochowski family’s Aldergrove home in 10 short days, that they would unearth so many unexpected surprises. And not all the surprises, thus far, have been good, admitted project coordinator Pastor Mike Dauncey, of the Aldergrove Seventh-Day Adventist Church’s Acts of Kindness team. A team of 70-plus volunteers gathered on day one of the official makeover, to begin demolition of much of the interior and exterior of the old, dilapidated house. While there were some unexpected plumbing problems, and the bathrooms had to be completely gutted – contrary to original plans – it was the condition of the home’s electrical that shocked organizers the most. In fact, one electrician on site told Dauncey, “I have no idea how this house didn’t burn down.” That little discovery led to a team of six to eight volunteers working minimum eight hours a day for the first three days of the project to run completely new wiring throughout the 267A Street home. “But the future, it’s looking bright, at least according to my iPhone, starting tomorrow,” Dauncey told the Langley Advance. “Things are looking up.” Not all the surprises in the church’s largest Extreme Home Repair – in its eight year history – have been bad.

Defenceman heads to SFU A 21-year-old Langley resident is welcoming the challenge Simon Fraser University will bring, both on the ice and in the classroom.
Troy Landreville/Langley Advance
Running back James Cabusau showed his agility during the Langley Rams’ spring training camp at McLeod Athletic Park over the weekend. The camp, which ran Friday to Sunday, drew approximately 100 junior football prospects from BC Minor and BC High School football programs. Formerly known as the South Surrey Big Kahuna Rams – the lone Metro Vancouver entry in the BC Football Conference – the team announced its relocation to Langley this past November, and opens its first season as the Langley Rams with a home game at MAP July 30 against Vancouver Island Raiders from Nanaimo.
Stay-at-home defenceman Derek Henderson is bringing his steadying influence to Simon Fraser University. The Langley resident has committed to play for SFU’s ice hockey program. He will attend Simon Frsaer and join the team self to be a reliable defendfor the 2011/12 British er and a tremendous Columbia Intercollegiate leader over the course of Hockey League season.

Swimming
Olympians score medals For the second year in a row, Langley swimmers won the Team Spirit Award at a meet in Richmond. Langley Olympians Swim Club (LOSC) swimmers showed their team spirit, and speed, at two prestigious meets last weekend. A team of 18 LOSC swimmers took part in the West Coast Open Meet in Richmond while another six travelled to Edmonton for the Edmonton Keyano International Age Group Meet. The LOSC members in Edmonton were up against 400 swimmers from Newfoundland, Alberta and B.C. Martha Metcalfe, 14, won a gold medal in the 13-14 girls 400m IM to go along with a silver in the 200m fly and bronze medals in the 800m freestyle and 200m IM. Hillary Metcalfe, 12, placed first in the 13-14 girls 200m breaststroke and third in the 100m breaststroke. Justin Schramm, 12, won gold in the 13-14 boys 200m fly and bronze in the 100m fly.

Michael MacDonald, 15, swam to bronze in the 15 & over boys 1500m freestyle. ••• In Richmond, the Olympians’ enthusiasm was in excess as their swimmers came away with the Team Spirit Award. LOSC also won the trophy at last year’s meet. In addition to winning this prestigious award, LOSC swimmers found success in the water. Chelsea Borrowdale, 11, achieved her Age Group National Qualifying time in the 200m breaststroke, clocking in at 2:59.41. This qualifies her to travel to Montreal in July for the Age Group Nationals. Borrowdale went on to win gold medals in the 100m breaststroke and 400m IM. Other swimmers placing in the top three were:
• Emily d’Entremont, 11 – 2nd in the 11-12 girls 200m fly; • Mackenzie Dong, 10 – 1st in the 10 & under girls 100m fly and 2nd in the 100m freestyle; • Lisa Grier, 10 – 2nd in the 10 & under girls 100m breaststroke; • Joshua Kim, 9 – 2nd in the 10 & under boys 100m backstroke (also achieving a B.C. AA Provincial qualifying time) and 100m fly; • Renae Ledoux, 11 – 2nd in the 11-12 girls 100m breaststroke;
• Avery Martin, 10 – 1st in the 10 & under boys 100m freestyle and 3rd in the 100m backstroke and 200m backstroke, and; • Robyn Nakano, 11 – 1st in the 11-12 girls 200m fly. • Eight-year-old Jaime Lavoie set a new 8 & under club record in the 100m breaststroke in a time of 1:57.42.
LOSC members with 100 per cent best times included Lisa Grier, Jenessa Hillman, Joshua Kim, Jaime Lavoie, Erin Moloney, and Megan Shinger. LOSC head coach Brian Metcalfe said it was a very exciting weekend. “The swimmers in Edmonton proved they are up to the challenge of travelling and still performing at a high level against new and very strong competition,” Metcalfe said. “Our team in Richmond made us very proud with their support of each other, not just the swimmers but the parents and coaches, too. We have won a lot of medals at both meets this weekend, and I am extremely pleased with our team in and out of the water.” LOSC registration is ongoing.
