March Madness at LEC
GARY AHUJA Times Sports
The Walnut Grove Gators survived an upset scare to move on to the quarter-finals. The Gators, seeded fourth at the 20-team B.C. AAA senior boys basketball championships, held on for a 78-73 victory over the Mount Douglas Rams on Wednesday morning on day two of the five-day March Madness tournament. The win moves Walnut Grove to the quarter-finals tonight (Thursday) at 8:15 p.m.
They will face the winner of the W.J. Mouat Hawks and Kitsilano Blue Demons, who played after The Times’ press deadline on Wednesday. In Walnut Grove’s win, Jadon Cohee poured in 33 points while Brad Hoffman and De’Sean Monsanto scored 15 points apiece. The Gators led by three at the half, but fell behind in the third quarter by six points before rallying to take the lead for good. Walnut Grove is the lone Langley team which qualified for the provincials and they are looking for the school’s best finish since
2000 when they placed fourth. This is the tournament’s second year at the LEC, with a contract to stage it at the venue through 2015. This is the tournament’s 67th year. Last year’s inaugural tournament — it had previously been played at the PNE Agrodome for the better part of the past 30 years — drew 13,604 fans over the course of the five-day event. The championship final is set for Saturday at 8 p.m. and last year’s game drew more than 4,000 fans.

The 19-year-old Surrey man charged in connection with the choking of a bus driver and stabbing of a Langley passenger remains behind bars. Steven Fayant is charged with aggravated assault for the stabbing of a 41-year-old Langley man who was getting off a bus near Aldergrove Centre Mall on Feb. 21. Fayant is also charged with assault in connection with an attempt to strangle a Surrey bus driver on Feb. 18. He has made more than half a dozen court appearances since his arrest on Feb. 23. He appeared in court again on Tuesday and will be back March 20 to fix a date for his trial. Fayant’s arrest happened after a Langley Mountie recognized the man from surveillance footage provided by TransLink. The victim of the stabbing wasn’t known to the suspect and it isn’t known what provoked the stabbing, said police. He was stabbed in the back as he was getting off the bus. The victim’s brother gave chase but the assailant got away. The 41-year-old victim is expected to make a full physical recovery. In the Surrey incident, the bus driver said he asked a young man to move down the bus. The suspect complied, but later returned to the driver and started choking him. The assailant suddenly let go and ran off the bus. Fayant has a criminal history and is before the courts for unrelated break-in charges in Langley.

Legion gets help with finances BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
Increased crime prompts meeting MONIQUE TAMMINGA
Despite their recent move into a smaller building, the Langley branch of the Royal Canadian Legion continues to be plagued by financial troubles. It is so bad, in fact, that in January, the newly-elected executive of Branch 21 approached the organization’s provincial body to ask for help getting their financial house in order. The Langley Legion has been experiencing money troubles for some time, but the move from their former location to the new building on 56 Avenue, coupled with issues with the City, has made matters worse, said Janice Poustie, the Langley Legion’s new president. The Legion had planned to spend between $400,000 and $700,000 on renovations and upgrading to its new property, but it turned out that the building they purchased needed more than $1 million in improvements (more than they’d paid for the property itself), leaving the organization carrying a large mortgage it had not anticipated, said Poustie, who declined to provide an exact figure. “If it had gone as planned, we’d have had a substantial amount of money in the bank,” she said.“Instead, we’ve had to put out large sums of money we hadn’t considered.” In addition, Poustie said, for the past three years or so, grant money the Langley Legion had regularly received from the City has not been forthcoming. “The City of Langley, in previous years, has been very good to the Legion,” Poustie said. However, she said, “the current feeling is not the friendliest.” The City reportedly made its position plain at a meeting held before Poustie was on the executive — one she did not herself attend. “In their words, ‘there is not a place for the Royal Canadian Legion in the design of the new downtown core of Langley.’ It’s sad because we’ve always had a great relationship with City council,” Poustie said. Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender said the notion the City of Langley has no place for the Legion is not accurate. “It’s absolutely incorrect to say the City doesn’t support the Legion, that it doesn’t care. We value the Legion. We value what they do and we value the financial support they give to local organizations. And we absolutely value our veterans. “It’s not a question of there is no place for them (in the City). There is absolutely a place.” Last year, the City spent more than $200,000 to construct a cenotaph in Douglas Park, where residents can gather each Nov. 11 to honour Langley’s veterans, he noted. It also supported a campaign to

Fassbender said the meeting to which Poustie referred is likely one that was held about three years ago. At the time, he said, he spoke bluntly to Legion members about how the organization must adapt to changing times. “I felt they had to find a way to change their financial model and to become selfsustaining.” At the time, Fassbender said, he suggested the Legion’s former building was “a drain on their ability to be financially viable” and that they weigh all their options, including leasing a different space versus buying one. “I also told them they could always approach council (to ask for) a tax exemption, but I could not guarantee they would get what they were looking for.” Inga Kruse, executive director of the Legion’s B.C./Yukon Command said the Langley branch is not the first to ask for help to get back on a solid financial footing. Command’s only role in Langley is in an advisory capacity and Kruse is confident that will be sufficient to turn things around. “I’ve personally watched the correspondence (between the Langley executive and the advisors) and their ideas are quite doable,” she said. The advisory role assumed in this case by the BC/Yukon Command is just one
level of support they can provide, Kruse explained. There have been extreme cases where they’ve put a Legion branch under a trusteeship and taken over its financial management, but only as a last resort, said Kruse. “Branches are autonomous, so we have to be really sure they’re in the weeds (before stepping in). We don’t want to see a branch go down. “With Langley, I don’t see a need in the immediate future for a trusteeship. I just don’t.” With an organization that has been around as long as the Legion, the situation is hardly unique, she said. “Many of our branches, over the years, have found themselves scratching their heads (and asking) how did we get here?” Legions are run by volunteers who don’t always have a great deal of business experience, Kruse noted. Aging war veterans have been largely replaced by baby boomers, in terms of the management of the Legion, she said, but numbers continue to drop. The challenge of how to draw new people remains. One of the greatest myths about the Legion is that you have to be associated with the military to be a member when, in fact, any Canadian citizen can join. “We would love some new members, some new blood,” said Kruse, who is an associate member of the Aldergrove Legion.
Seniors living at Langley City’s Rainbow Lodge are holding a meeting with police and the mayor, after months of increased crime has left residents scared and frustrated. Jim, a senior living in the Fir building who doesn’t want his last name used, said since March 2011 his car has been broken into six times in the underground parking lot. His Valentine’s present this year was getting his home broken into during the day. The culprits stole his flat screen TV, a rifle, jewelry and rare coins. “Some Valentine’s I had,” he said. Jim said his neighbours in the Elm building have also had their units broken into last month. Culprits have been siphoning gas from all the cars, writing graffiti on the outside property, breaking into the mailboxes and just last week car windows were smashed. “We feel we are being targeted,” said Jim, who helped organize the meeting which is taking place on March 20 at 1 p.m. at the Evergreen Hall. Another frightening aspect to this increased criminal activity is the amount of suspicious people who don’t live in the buildings found wandering the hallways at night, Jim claims. “We have many of our residents who are afraid to leave their units at night, afraid of running into one of these characters,” he said. Jim is hoping the meeting will make residents stick together and take back their Rainbow Lodge from these criminals. City Mayor Peter Fassbender has confirmed that he will be at the meeting.

Two arrested for grow-op MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Two men arrested for the marijuana grow operation connected to last Friday’s murder in Aldergrove made their first appearances in court this week. Craig Challenger, 27, and Taylor Mears, 32, are both charged with production of a controlled substance in connection to a grow-op in a home in the 900 block of 272 Street. Both men have been released and are expected again in Surrey Provincial Court on March 26. Challenger doesn’t appear to have any criminal background. Mears however was convicted of possession of a controlled substance in 2000 in White Rock. On Friday night, Surrey resident Korey Tyler Kelly, 25, was shot to death while attempting to rob a grow-op that the two men are
now charged with cultivating. They were interviewed as persons of interest in the crime but have not been charged in connection with the murder of Kelly. No arrests have been made in Langley’s first homicide of the year. Langley RCMP’s drug section went into the Aldergrove growop home the day after the murder. They dismantled a grow-op of more than 590 plants, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. The drug section only focused on the grow-op, so she didn’t know if other evidence was seized from the home. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team believes Kelly, along with two associates, attempted to rip off the grow-op at 272 Street. That’s when Kelly was shot multiple times. Kelly’s associates managed to
get a bleeding and unconscious Kelly into the back seat of their car and drive away, calling 911 in the process, said IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Jennifer Pound. Police officers en route to the 911 call were flagged down by Kelly’s associates.The victim was taken by ambulance but died on the way to hospital. Kelly had a history of ripping off grow-ops, including an attempted murder charge involving a violent home invasion, grow rip in Surrey in 2004. He was sentenced to a year in prison for that crime, but was sentenced to a lesser charge of breaking and entering. He had been actively committing crime for a decade, facing numerous charges for possessing firearms, after being banned from owning them, as well as possession and production of drugs and breaching his conditions.
Langley wanted man nabbed A man wanted in Langley was arrested after leading police on what they called a dangerous “detour” through Surrey on Feb. 23. Luc Hodgkindson, wanted in Langley on three warrants, is now facing possible charges of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight from police, possession of stolen property over $5,000, possession of a controlled substance and breach of probation. Surrey RCMP were called at around 7 p.m. after a truck was stolen in the Newton neighbourhood. The Chevy pick-up was equipped with an onboard tracking system, however, allowing
police to pinpoint its location in North Surrey. The RCMP’s Air 2 helicopter began following the truck, giving officers on the ground the chance to position themselves without getting involved in a chase. The man, who police said is a “prolific thief,” drove through red lights, into oncoming traffic, through a fence and onto school grounds. Air 2 requested the tracking system to immobilize the truck, which ended up near 140 Street and 64 Avenue. The driver fled the vehicle, running through an apartment construction site. The Emergency Response Team and
Lower Mainland Police Dog Services eventually located the man hiding in the attic of one of the apartment units. “This was a classic example of a carefully co-ordinated integrated response which ended in the successful apprehension of this prolific offender,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger. “With the help of our integrated police partners in the air and on the ground, along with the advantage of an onboard tracking system in this situation, the RCMP is able to catch criminals who endanger innocent lives and put the public at risk with their erratic driving behaviour.”

Tania Vrionis has to seriously consider moving now that her son Noah’s school, R.C. Garnett Elementary, is changing from a K -7 to a K-5 school next year. Nine-year-old Noah has a smile that could melt even the coldest heart. Living with cerebral palsy, legally blind and challenged with significant learning and behaviour disabilities, Noah has spent the past three years going to the on-site daycare before and after school and attending classes at R.C. Garnett.
Like any other Grade 4 boy his age, he has plenty of energy and zest for life. Being at R.C. Garnett has been working for the Vrionis’, and most importantly, for Noah. “Having a child with special needs is a challenge, but it’s such a joy, too,” said Vrionis. He has a team who work with him at the daycare and a team who work with him in the school. “They know him and care about him,” said Vrionis. “They have one-on-one support for him.”

“To think he would have to adjust to a brand new team every three years? I can’t even imagine.” Vrionis moved to the Willoughby slope area so she could walk Noah to a school she thought he would attend until Grade 7. She thought he would then transition to high school. On Feb. 24, the school district announced that R.C. Garnett would become a K-5 and Grade 6s and 7s will be bused to the new Lynn Fripps Elementary, now being built at 21020 83 Avenue. Noah will then go to the new middle school which will also be built in Yorkson, before moving to Mountain Secondary for his high school years. “It seems there was so little thought put into the ripple effect of this decision. They have painted all kids with the same brush, saying they are resilient,” she said. “It’s like they forget that the district is made up of children, not numbers.” She worries how all the special needs students will transition. The decision to make R.C. Garnett a K-5 school is to free up space for the influx of Kindergarten students expected
to come to the over-populated school. Built eight years ago, R.C. Garnett was expected to handle 350 students. There are now 622. Plans to expand R.C. Garnett have been scrapped by the district in favour of building a new school in Yorkson, which will gain a lot of people in the next 10 years. “I absolutely respect he is just one child, but he’s my child and if you can’t take care of your most vulnerable students then you shouldn’t be doing it at all,” she said. The changes would be more than Noah can handle — having to trust a new team of people in two years, then to do that all over again in three years, is too much. She has a year to figure out what to do, but it likely means moving to an area that supports a K-7 school and Grades 8-12 high school. She attended the meeting the district put on for parents about the reconfiguration. She has emailed school district staff and the principal in charge of special needs students and hasn’t heard from any staff what the transition plan will look like for students like her son. She’s hopeful with time, she’ll hear from them. The district hasn’t offered a
transition plan yet but in a letter sent to parents in early February, it said children can be bused to and from R.C. Garnett, at the district’s cost, so they can still attend after school programs with siblings. Many R.C. Garnett parents were led to believe that a middle school would be built within walking distance, to deal with overcrowding issues. But after a controversial land swap with the Township, the district has decided to build at 208 Street and 84 Avenue. This means everyone in south Willoughby will have to be bused to school. R.C. Garnett parents, along with some Langley Meadows and Willoughby parents are distressed about everything being built in Yorkson, while the population in their area is exploding. “We feel like the forgotten children and everything is about Yorkson,” said R.C. Garnett PAC president Lorraine Baldwin. According to information one parent has collected, there were 1,923 more K to 12 students living south of 74B Avenue in Willoughby, then to the north of that street, as of 2009. The population in Yorkson is very small in comparison to that in the southern part of Willoughby, but there is a lot of new construction.

Kwantlen film policy coming soon

“FACTORY TRAINED TECHNICIANS” WE USE VOLKSWAGEN FACTORY PARTS
BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
Kwantlen First Nation is nearly ready for its close-up. The band which makes its home on McMillan Island, just north of Fort Langley, has appointed a film liaison and is in the process of putting in place a policy for television and motion picture filming on its land. The reason for all the action, said Brandon Gabriel, marketing and special projects co-ordinator with Kwantlen First Nation, is that over the past several months there has been an increase in the number of productions using Kwantlen land and it became clear that it was time to put a set of guidelines into place to smooth the process. The film industry has begun to generate a good income for the Kwantlen people, said Gabriel. “The amount of money coming in is significant and those dollars go back in for infrastructure.” So it’s important that the business is handled in a professional manner, he said. The goal is to create a policy that is in line with those of Langley Township and other surrounding communities, Gabriel explained. “If they do business with the Township, they can expect the same when they do business with us.” Working with liaison Geoff Antone, filmmakers will get quick and consistent answers and assistance, said Gabriel, adding there have been times when they have fallen short in that regard. “There have been a few issues where we thought we should be handling this in a more professional manner,” said Gabriel. For the most part, the land is used as an overflow parking area for productions shooting across the bridge. “When Fort Langley can’t accommodate a certain production, we take them here to alleviate congestion in the village,” said Gabriel.

This small Catholic church is one of a few spots on McMillan Island which are frequently used for filming. Currently, the Kwantlen band is in the process of repatriating the land that had been used as a terminal for the Albion Ferry for more than 50 years. “It’s a good place (for film crews) to use, with ease of infrastructure, plug-ins and no residences (nearby).” Occasionally, however, the crews come to McMillan Island with cameras as well as trucks and trailers. The old ferry terminal and a small former Catholic church have been popular spots with film crews and an open field is frequently used as a place to film stunts for such shows as Supernatural. Most recently, scenes were filmed on Kwantlen land for Falling Skies, a science fiction television series produced by Steven Spielberg and starring Noah Wylie and Moon Bloodgood. “There’s a lot of filming that comes to the Township and the City,” said Gabriel. “It’s a benefit to the community as a whole, and we don’t want to be a detriment. We want to be a part of it.”

Lurching ahead
Revelations damage reputation
T
he ongoing confusion over the botched deal with Telus over naming rights of the refurbished B.C. Place stadium seems to indicate a provincial government that is having trouble reading its cue cards. In some ways, this isn’t surprising. One year ago, the BC Liberals elected former MLA and talk show host Christy Clark as their leader. While she had served in cabinet up until 2005, she was definitely out of touch with how the province was being governed — particularly in the backrooms of cabinet and caucus meetings, where the real decisions are made. She was brought in as a fresh face after severe public dissatisfaction with the governing BC Liberals, something that came to a crescendo over the HST. Clark at first seemed to stem the tide of dissatisfaction, but the honeymoon didn’t last long. The HST referendum was hanging over the head of the government, and when the controversial tax was defeated, her government lost much of what credibility it had retained. Since that time, it has seemed to lurch from issue to issue, often in a bumbling fashion. The steady work of cabinet ministers such as Fort Langley-Aldergrove’s Rich Coleman is overshadowed by one controversy or another. The Telus fiasco is a prime case in point. There was no hint that the stadium renaming wasn’t proceeding, until Telus pointedly did not invite the premier (who has a “jobs agenda”) to a press announcement, where it outlined $3 billion of investments in B.C. Notably, NDP leader Adrian Dix was invited. Then the rumours started flying, until the government finally confirmed that it had shelved a deal in which Telus would have paid $35 million over 20 years for naming rights. There were some conflicts over the fact that a prominent B.C. Place user, the Vancouver Whitecaps, is sponsored by a rival phone company, but that didn’t seem insurmountable. Then a whole variety of different stories started flying, and as of this writing, it’s hard to separate fact from innuendo and rumour. It is sufficient to note that the government has snubbed B.C.’s largest private sector employer, caused confusion in professional sports ranks and demonstrated that it can’t make basic decisions in a straightforward manner. None of this inspires confidence.

s ever more revelations trickle out about the so-called robocall scandal, it can only cause more damage to the reputation of this country. We Canadians have always thought of our country as a paragon of democracy. Little by little, this perception is being eroded by the tales of deceptive phone calls directing people to nonexistent polling stations, rude callers pretending to be from a different party and voters being able to cast their ballot without giving a proper address — as is required under Canadian electoral law. That doesn’t do anyone any good — not the aggrieved politicians who feel they may have been robbed, not the voters who believe they were misled, nor the government of this country, which is currently operating under an increasingly dark cloud of suspicion and doubt. It’s not only Canadians who are watching this sordid saga. People in other nations, some of whom looked up to Canada as an example worthy of following, are also keeping tabs on the latest revelations. Clearly, there’s not likely to be any rainbows or ponies coming out of this political cauldron, but the damage it does can be at least somewhat lessened by taking a few bold steps and taking them as quickly as possible. The first of these has to be the release of any documentation, whether it be electronic or on paper, that can shed light on what really happened and who was responsible. Then, when everything is on the table for all to see, those implicated in electoral wrongdoing should be punished under the fullest weight of the law. This is not small potatoes. This is democracy we’re talking about. To let this mess fester any longer than absolutely necessary will only further erode Canada’s reputation as a truly democratic nation. —Parksville-Qualicum News The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

More paid firefighters unnecessary Editor: I have a couple of questions and some information concerning The Times article of March 8, “Expect more injuries if crews aren’t increased.” The story stated that the injury rate among Township firefighters is below average, but the number of injuries will increase if the number of personnel in a crew is not increased to four from three. Andy Hewitson, president of IAFF local 4550, lobbied Township council on Monday (March 5) to fast-track the hiring of eight more firefighters so that the four-man minimum standard can be met now. “It will increase if the three-man rate continues and crews keep pushing themselves,” he said. First, where are all these injuries coming from, as “the injury rate among Township firefighters, according to IAFF information, is below average?” Are we also led to believe that fastracking of more hires for the fire department would save the crews from pushing themselves? I looked into getting some statistics from the Township and fire department, to confirm or deny the desparate situation according to IAFF local 4550, and the offending or constraining Worksafe B.C. requirements. Neither the Township nor fire department were inter-
ested in sharing any stats for the local fire halls, even though other safety agencies post call volumes to the public. I had to apply for a Freedom of Information document for something I was unaware was so secret. According to the latest statistics provided (2010 stats), the crews that are pushing themselves are doing an average of 1.9 calls per day per hall. They’re pretty busy. There were 4,799 incidents over the year, responded to by the seven Township fire halls. Now I understand their hesitancy in sharing the stats. A normal shift for EMS in downtown Vancouver was 20-plus calls per 12-hour shift, two years ago. What exactly are four or eight more of these full-time folks needed for then? It’s not the call volume, so what about the Worksafe regulations that are apparently being flaunted recently? It turns out that the Worksafe guidelines on entry into buildings have been on the books since April, 2000, so what’s all the hot air about recently? Where’s the dire need for something that this and other fire departments have been working under for almost 12 years? They used to (and still can) use paid on-call fire department members to abide by the regulations. They doesn’t stipulate full-time or paid on-call members.
I couldn’t find any provincial mandate about fire departments being first at MVAs either. It used to be under the discretion of each municipality or fire department which incidents their staff would respond to. Anyway, there are some discrepancies in this union local’s needs analysis, or else there’s more information out there that’s not being shared. As a taxpayer in the Hopington rural area, I would like to see some more fire department hires after we get some water infrastructure out here, like the rest of the Township enjoys. I do not need another hit to my taxes for eight more folks to do 1.9 calls per day, thank you very much. Maybe the fire department union should put some energy into a revenue stream for the Township, such as a casino, light or heavy industry first, before its worthy but prematurely untimely proposal of $1 million-plus per year for wages and benefits? It seems some of the package is unsubstantiated from this angle. Please share what you have with us. By the way, I spent some of my best career years within fire halls, but my point is to concern oneself with facts, not emotions. Rick Manuel, Langley
Being kind to strangers is a virtue Editor: Seven years ago, my family and I immigrated to this wonderful country from Africa. In this period, the winters have gotten warmer and we have become Canadian citizens and have settled into our careers. The Olympics have come and gone, the “Occupy Movement” has taken root, and now the KONY 2012 campaign is sweeping across the globe. All these events in one way or another have served to galvanize the human race and are indeed indisputable proof that we all share certain values. Murphy’s Law: Last Saturday, my teenage daughter, who volunteers with the Salvation Army and the Arthritis Society, set out early in the morning to help out with an event at the Douglas Community Center. I offered to drop her off as it was raining a fair bit, but she
politely turned me down and rode away on her bike. Unfortunately, she missed her turn and ended up around PriceMart. The sad tale is that she had forgotten her cellphone and couldn’t call home, and got disoriented in her panic and the driving rain. She approached some pedestrians to ask for directions, but every time she said “Excuse me” the persons would hasten their steps and barely make eye contact. Eventually she gave up, and in her true character decided she would ride around until she found the place or found her way back home. Forty minutes later, she found herself at her destination. She was wet and cold, but relieved to be safe and ready to help with a smile as always. As a parent, I shudder to contemplate
the consequences of such total apathy to a child who may be in danger. Canadians are world-famous for their kindness and goodwill, and my family has been the recipient of that warmth time and again. We have really enjoyed living in this community, this occurrence notwithstanding. To my dear daughter, pardon me for writing this letter. I don’t intend to embarrass you. To all those who are kind to strangers, you are the glow that makes the world a brighter place. And finally to all those people who never stop to help, kindness is a virtue. Pay it forward. Sarah Owuor, Langley
HIGH GROUND LOST Editor: I congratulate Brookswood High’s Steven Lofgren on his well-written letter to the editor regarding the strike (The Times, March 6). That is not to say that I agree with him. In any labour dispute there are rarely “good people” against “super-villain(s),” as he puts it. Nor is that the case here. No doubt teachers want what’s best for the students, but unfortunately that message (including the government’s deplorable reduction in Special Ed. teachers) took second place to their demands for a 15 per cent pay increase, and the ridiculous claim for substantially expanded bereavement leave. They would have had the moral high ground had they accepted net zero (which they must have known the government was not going to budge from anyway) and concentrated entirely on student-based issues. They entirely lost any moral high ground when it was revealed that they have hypocritically offered their own BCTF staff a net zero wage increase. Barry Whaites, Langley
BILL 22 ILLEGAL Editor: Do George Abbott, Christy Clark, and the rest of the Liberal caucus understand the full implications of Bill 22, or are they knowingly breaking Canadian constitutional and international labour laws? Collective bargaining is guaranteed not only by Canadian laws, but also by international laws. The bill seems to be illegal, but the Liberals demand that the teachers abide by it. Peter Holuboff, Langley
Mulcair the obvious choice to take NDP to next level Editor: I’ve been approached by a number of friends about the federal NDP leadership race. We all know that this is a very important event, because the vote on March 24 will determine who the Leader of the Opposition is, and quite possibly the next prime minister as well. I believe the NDP needs someone who is articulate, has parliamentary experience, has the respect of the Quebec caucus and The
who will work for an environmentally and economically sustainable social democracy. We need someone who can ensure access to universal health care and affordable social programs for those most in need. We need a revitalized economy that balances the environment, First Nations concerns, employment in all regions of the country and fair wages. I believe Tom Mulcair can deliver on
these challenges. I first met Mulcair in 2006 in Quebec City, when he spoke to NDP convention delegates about sustainable development. Since then, I’ve talked with him on several occasions and been impressed with his continued commitment to sustainability and a revitalized economy. Mulcair has served in Quebec as a Member of the National Assembly and in cabinet
as the Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment and Parks. In Ottawa, he is an MP and has served in the House of Commons as finance critic, Co-Deputy Leader of the NDP and NDP House Leader. There are few who have his political and legislative experience. It is clear to me that Tom Mulcair is the obvious choice. Shane Dyson, Aldergrove

School stories come tumbling in
T
he stories began tumbling out as soon as last week’s column on teacher union indoctrination of students was posted on our websites. Most parents, retired teachers and administrators requested anonymity, because their kids and grandkids still have to go to school, or they have relatives or fair-weather friends in the B.C. Teachers’ Federation who mustn’t be enraged by any contradiction of their dogma. There was the Grade 3 art class in Langley, where students were assigned to create anti-Bill 22 protest signs. There was the Grade 6 teacher in Greater Victoria who started a one-hour drill on BCTF talking points by telling students not to believe anything they see in the media. There was the middle school in the Gulf Islands that dismissed students early to force them all out in a show of solidarity against the latest of many legislated settlements. And there were the BCTF-BCGEU pickets that blocked entrances to government offices here in Victoria, harassing, threatening and physically blocking office workers in an effort to force them to join the thousands bused in for the traditional howling show of strength for Big State Labour bosses on the legislature lawn. In my 20 years of criticizing the policies and tactics of teacher union radicals, I have had my office windows smashed twice.

Langley 4-H Beef and Swine Club season gets underway SARAH MACADAM Times contributor
4-H is a club for youth ages nine to -19. 4-H stands for head, heart, health, and hands. 4-H members have many opportunities as young people of society, including : speech competitions, communication events such as speak and show or a demonstration, going to the fairs such as the PNE and on national 4-H trips. The Langley Beef and Swine Club has been in operation for 60 years. Our club had its first meeting of 2012 in January, and elections were held. Brianna Anderson is president with Dustin Annett as vice-president. Benjamin Macadam holds the secretary position. Brandon Koch is handling the money with position of treasurer. Most of the beef members have previously purchased their 2012 market steers. Our first weigh-in was Sunday, Jan. 29 at the Aldor Acres Dairy Centre. An exciting event that club members participated in was speech night in February. Our top senior speakers were Sarah Douglas, Sarah Macadam, Dustin Annett, Brianna Anderson and Brandon Koch. Honourable mention went to Benjamin Macadam. We had a record number of senior participants at 15. Speech topics varied

Be Wild Animal Aware
In Residential Areas:
The Township of Langley is full of wildlife habitat, and residents share the area with animals including bears, cougars, and coyotes. While residents throughout Langley do not need to be continually on alert, there are a number of actions that can be taken to deter wild animals if they are spotted in your area. Parents are encouraged to educate their children on what to do if they encounter any of these animals, especially if they play by themselves in areas that wildlife frequent or have been seen in the past. To help people coexist with creatures that are simply trying to survive but can be dangerous if provoked, the following information is offered:
Bears: are coming out of three or four months of hibernation this time of year. They are extremely hungry, have lost weight, and are looking for a lot of food. They also have cubs, which the mothers will teach how to hunt and look for food. Baby bears learn from their mothers’ behavior and they are smart animals: don’t let them learn that food can easily be obtained from humans. If you encounter a bear, do not run. Act big and loud, and back away slowly to a safe place.
Cougars: can have kittens throughout the year, and family groups can be seen at any time. A couple of cougars have been seen in Langley over the past couple of months. Cougars survive on natural food sources found in the wild, primarily deer. Cougar attacks on humans are highly unlikely. However, if you encounter a cougar, do not run. Pick children up immediately and talk to the cougar in a confident voice. Act big by waving sticks and branches, and back away slowly while still facing the cougar. If it attacks, fight back.
Coyotes: have the largest population of potentially dangerous wildlife in Langley and can be seen year round, even in residential areas. Pups are born in the spring and are trained to hunt and kill.

Fri Mar 16 6:00pm Game 31 (Semi-Final) Fri Mar 16 8:00pm Game 32 (Semi-Final)
Coyotes are bold and easily lose their natural fear of people. Never feed a coyote. If you encounter a coyote, scare it off by making loud noise or throwing something at it to make it afraid. Never ignore a coyote. If it continues to approach, do not run. Maintain eye contact, pick up small pets or children, and slowly move to an area of increased activity.
Notice is hereby given of the intention of the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Langley, pursuant to Sections 26 and 94 of the Community Charter S.B.C. 2003, c. 26, to sell Township owned land, the particulars of which are as follows: 58 AVENUE

The Engineering Division will host a public open house to present the updated Ultimate Cycling Network and the proposed Ultimate Cycling Network Infrastructure. Residents will be asked to fill out a questionnaire to provide input regarding the proposed Cycling Network Infrastructure. Date: Thursday, March 29 Time: 5 - 8pm Location: Township of Langley Civic Facility, 4th Floor Foyer 20338 - 65 Avenue Property owners and residents are encouraged to attend the open house and provide input regarding cycling infrastructure in the Township.
Protect your investment by keeping fences secure and free of damage that predators can use for access. Coyotes burrow, so ensure surrounding netting goes deep into the ground. Use electric fencing to deter bears from blueberries and beehives, and pick berries and fruit as they ripen. Be vigilant with livestock and keep them secure. Farm animals are usually killed at night, so bring them inside in the evening. It is an offence to attract wildlife into a residential neighbourhood. Those who do not take steps to deter bears and other wild creatures can face a fine of up to $575. To report poachers or polluters or if you have a problem with wildlife call: Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) 1.877.952.7277
As part of our maintenance program, the municipal Water Department will be flushing water mains in your area on the dates shown below. As a result of this flushing, you may notice changes in water pressure and there may be some discolouration or sediment in the water. However, this is a temporary condition and is not a health hazard. To avoid inconvenience, please check the water before doing laundry, and you may wish to keep water in the refrigerator for drinking and cooking.

WARNING Garbage is the biggest attraction Langley has a large for bears so keep it secure and deer population inaccessible to wildlife. Do not leave garbage cans out overnight: USE CAUTION keep them in the house, a locked ON ROADS garage, or secured outbuilding that cannot be broken into by large, smart bears. Put them out only on the morning of collection. If you are worried about odour, keep garbage in the freezer until collection day. Do not use bird feeders, as they attract bears and the birds do need seeds when other natural food sources are available. Be vigilant with small animals, especially cats, in areas where coyotes are around.

Metro debates issue of reserve voting JEFF NAGEL Black Press
Metro Vancouver directors are split over whether the regional district should try to block residents of Indian Reserves from voting in future civic elections. Reserve residents in most cities can vote in municipal elections because the reserves are within city boundaries. But that ability may have unintended consequences as local First Nations build market condo developments on their reserves and usher in thousands of new non-aboriginal residents. Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew, vice-chair of Metro’s aboriginal affairs committee, said the planned Squamish Nation development in West Vancouver could add 30,000 residents who would not pay city taxes but would have a vote in civic elections. He argues a reserve voting block that big could alter the outcome of future council elections or referenda — perhaps causing the city to spend more on new projects without those
residents having to contribute to the cost. The proposed solution is for Metro cities to seek provincial government permission to redraw their boundaries to exclude Indian Reserves, ending the civic vote for their residents. “I do not believe we can disenfranchise voters,” said Lions Bay Mayor Brenda Broughton at a Metro board meeting Friday. Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer said it is distorted logic for Metro cities to invert the principle of no taxation without representation and insist on “no representation without taxation.” If it took that stance, she said, it would have to deny the vote to renters, people in social housing and others who don’t directly pay taxes. The real issue, Reimer said, is how aboriginal rights and title is reconciled in the modern world. She said that is best done through negotiation with First Nations and success will depend on relationships that could be damaged by an effort to deny the vote.
“To focus on this particular issue is unhelpful and in fact quite inflammatory,” added Tsawwassen First Nation Chief Kim Baird, who holds a seat at the Metro board. Under the terms of the TFN treaty, residents there no longer vote in municipal elections but do have a vote for school board. She suggested the concerns of cities over taxation and the contribution to civic costs of reserve residents in other parts of Metro Vancouver can be dealt with through negotiated servicing agreements with the local First Nation. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, chair of the regional planning committee, defended the committee recommendation to pursue the issue as a priority item for Metro. “I don’t think anyone should be offended that we are putting these issues on the table,” he said. “We are not the decision makers. We just think they are important issues to be discussed.” The Metro board meets again on March 30.

the Kinsmen Centre for people to come and look at them, she says. “I did not like any of them because our family is a swim-club family and what Aldergrove needs is something they can do year-round and it didn’t seem as if this was happening.” When the planners left with those proposals, that was it. Nothing happened. Then in 2011, the artificial swimming pool at Aldergrove Lake Park was shut down. So, with all the public fanfare over the MillionDollar Neighbourhood show, Nicolato thought: Aldergrove is going to be in the limelight and we need [a new swimming facility] now. She looked around at her Million-Dollar’s family and was amazed by what all these people can accomplish in five or six days.‚ “It was like, ‘We can do this. We can totally do this.’ You take these Million-Dollar people and you spread them into the rest of the community and we will get something done.” The pool committee is conducting an online survey (www.aldergrovereccenter.ca) and recenlty supporters were at four local stores, the Otter Co-op, Save-On Foods, Extra Foods and Safeway to survey shoppers who might not wish to go online. The survey deadline is April 30. The group hosted an open meeting at the Aldergrove Legion on March 12. And they plan a delegation to Township council during the month. Township Coun. Bob Long made the idea of a new community pool part of his re-election platform last November. He welcomes the initiative of the pool committee but points to its potential $20-million cost and Aldergrove’s smaller population base of around 11,000 residents. “I’ve been working on this project for a number of years and it’s not an easy one. It’s going to take some really creative work to find a way to finance it and pull it off. We need to get a design that people will buy into. Council has money in the budget for a revamp of the design . . . We’ve identified a location [the now-closed Aldergrove Elementary School that is owned by the Langley School District]. “It’s always nice when the community gets involved in something . . . we know Aldergrove’s needed a pool, like for ever, but it’s having the resources to pay for it that’s the number one thing and, with the population we have, it’s a challenge. That’s why we did the revamp of the downtown plan, trying to get the density up,” he said. The pool committee doesn’t quibble with Long’s $20-million ballpark figure “It’ll be a lot,” acknowledges Nicolato who knows it has an uphill fundraising fight. “I think we can do the impossible,” says Nicolato. “We’re going to ask for the moon and then go with that.”

Everything you ever needed to know about buying a new home
GVHBA to hold 18th annual seminar The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association will present its 18th annual First-Time Home Buyers Seminar on Tuesday, April 3 at the Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey. Featuring guest speakers like senior market analyst for the Canada Mortgage and House Corporation Robyn Adamache and Wendy Acheson, vice-president and registrar at the B.C. branch of the Homeowner Protection Office, potential buyers will be able to learn about what home type best matches their needs, which location is best for them and what their mortgage options are, among many other topics. “Our experts will help first-time
buyers consider all available options and important issues before they take that critical first step onto the property ladder,” says GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson. Doors will open at 6 p.m. and the seminar will take place between 7 and 9 p.m. That first hour will give people plenty of time to check out the builder displays and other home-related products and services, Simpson says. Participation is free, but attendees are asked to bring something for the Surrey Food Bank. Pre-registration is required. To preregister, check out www.gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288.
very long time.” The bathrooms continue the luxurious theme with their own sets of composite stone countertops and Italian cabinets. In partnership with the City of Burnaby, Intracorp is aiming to turn Beresford Street into a vibrant “Great Street,” Lai says. It will eventually feature extra-wide sidewalks, tree-lined streets and outdoor seating at streetfront cafes. “Designed by Richard Henry Architects and NSDA Architects, Silver
will incorporate a series of street-level townhomes and retail intended to bring new life to Beresford Street,” she says. Although the development hasn’t yet been released for sale, interested buyers are already contacting Intracorp. “There’s a lot of interest,” Lai says, “and it pretty much covers the whole (of) Greater Vancouver including our loyal past Intracorp purchasers.” Homes at Silver start in the mid$250,000s. For more information and to pre-register, check out www. silverliving.ca.
Becoming part of a dynamic neighbourhood
Breathing the rare air at Intracorp’s Silver by Kerry Vital
The Metrotown area of Burnaby continues to be a popular place to live, and with the addition of Intracorp’s newest development, Silver, it is about to get even more popular. “Getting into this neighbourhood early is the best opportunity to see real and sustained growth in your investment,” says Intracorp sales associate May Lai. “As the future unfolds, this dynamic neighbourhood will become even more desirable than it already is.” Silver is just steps from the Metrotown SkyTrain station, and within walking distance of great restaurants, shopping and recreation, including Central Park. Located right at the corner of Silver Avenue and Beresford Street, the 38-storey tower will offer one-, two- and two-bedroom and den suites in a variety of floorplans that include condos, flats and townhomes. Each will include its own large private cantilevered balcony. “You’ll be able to breathe some pretty rare air indeed,” says Lai. One of the most exciting parts about Silver is the inclusion of the Control4 home automation system. “It’s pretty amazing,” Lai says. “From your smartphone or tablet device, you will have the ability to control many of the functions within your home. The system will allow you to control the lighting, your music and your TV.”
“
This ... neighbourhood will become even more desirable than it already is,” says sales associate May Lai. The Control4 system can be expanded to control the temperature in your home as well as your security system, among other things. The kitchens at Silver could almost be considered works of art, with stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and Armony Cucine Italian cabinets. A thoughtful little detail is the aluminum lining in the kitchen and bathroom sink cabinets which will prevent damage from moisture and chemicals. “The exterior finishes are made of technologically advanced European textured-wood laminate and highgloss lacquer,” says Lai. “(It’s) easy to maintain, never fades and will last a

Buy a Power Smart home, save three ways Save now, and save later: not many homes can promise you that. But when you buy a home from a Power Smart New Home Builder you’ll save money, including reduced mortgage insurance and lower monthly bills. An EnerGuide label is your assurance that the home is independently rated to be energy-efficient. And don’t forget, an energyefficient home is more comfortable too. Layout, amenities, and those much-promoted granite countertops. There’s a lot to think about when you’re buying a new home. But there’s one feature that can make a positive difference to your wallet when you purchase, and every month that you own your home. Choosing a Power Smart New Home gives home buyers an easy way to find a home that is designed and built to save energy. “Buying an energy-efficient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,” says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydro’s Power Smart New Home program. “If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage. But many new homes are not built with energy efficiency in mind - so looking for the EnerGuide label is wise.” An EnerGuide rating is a standard measure of a home’s energy performance, rated on a scale of 0 to 100. A rating of 0 represents a home with major air leakage, no insulation and extremely high energy consumption. A rating of 100 represents a house that is airtight, well insulated, sufficiently ventilated and requires no purchased energy. The first benefit you’ll find is on your mortgage insurance: Power Smart New Homes qualify for a 10 per cent refund on Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Mortgage

Insurance. You’ll also save on your monthly bills. Homes that are rated EnerGuide 80 use at least 30 per cent less energy than an average new home. That’s money in your pocket every month – especially great when energy costs are only expected to rise. Buy a home with a rating higher than EnerGuide 80, and save even more. The third benefit is resale value; as energy costs rise and green building continues to gain popularity, a home that demonstrates its efficiency will likely hold its value as compared to one that is inefficient with high monthly operating costs. There are other benefits as well, Overholt says. “Builders who are smart about energy efficiency are adopting improved building practices and making use of new technologies. Their homes are more comfortable – cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter – while using less energy overall. It’s hard to add energy efficiency later; you need to get it built in from the start.” The Power Smart New Home program gives you an easy way to find houses, townhomes, and condos that are designed to save energy. For more information and to find your energy efficient dream home, check out the full listing of Power Smart New Home Builders and featured developments at bchydro.com/pshomes.
WE MAKE IT EASY TO FIND A HOME THAT’S BUILT TO SAVE. NOT ALL NEW HOMES ARE BUILT WITH ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN MIND. That’s why it pays to look for a Power Smart New Home Builder when shopping for your next home. Power Smart New Homes are independently rated EnerGuide 80 or higher, which means they use at least 30% less energy than an average new home. And since they’re built the smart way, they stay cooler in the summer and cozier in the winter—all while saving you money for years to come.

Company goes from bedroom to B.C. Ferries NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
A local company that was hatched in a spare bedroom has landed an account with B.C. Ferries. The products of Sweet LeiLani Colour Cosmeceuticals are now being carried in retail shops on nine ships. It’s an amazing way for any company to stay afloat in a troubled economy, said owner LeiLani Kopp. “As a Canadian cosmetics company, we are very excited to be included in the selection of products BC Ferries makes available to their travelers,” Kopp said.
“The exposure to tourists through BC Ferries has provided Sweet LeiLani Cosmetics a customer base that extends to include a loyal customer in Dubai,” she added. “We are proud to supply a product line to BC Ferries that embraces pure, natural beauty and provides women an ecofriendly cosmetics choice.” Kopp is a film industry makeup artist who honed her skills in Los Angeles. Her sister, Tana McNicol, has a business and marketing mind. Put the two together and you have Sweet Leilani Colour Cosmeceuticals, a line of makeup which does not contain petroleum, mineral oil,
lanolin or fragrance. Its products cover — literally — a host of skin conditions such as scarring and burns. Four years ago, Sweet LeiLani opened its new beauty headquarters, The Cosmedic Corner, at #1 6280-202 St. in Langley. The Cosmedic Corner has branched out to become one of the first in Canada to specialize in scar re-pigmentation tattooing. For example, a woman who has had reconstructive surgery following a mastectomy can have areola re-pigmentation. People who have suffered burns and scarring are the leading candidates for tattooing, which can also
be used to “replace” larger areas of skin discolouration due to disease, vitiligo, alopecia or tissue damage. In tattooing, ink colours matching skin tones are used to fill in discoloured areas. The company is especially well known for its Skin Care Cover Stick, and its volunteer work with the Vancouver Burn Unit and dermatologists. Furthermore, Sweet LeiLani products and services offer an alternative to Botox as none involves injecting harmful toxins into the system. Some procedures outlast Botox by several years.

Despite continuing uncertainty in the economy, local modular building manufacturer Britco has created 77 new jobs in B.C. and added more than 150 employees outside of the province. The job growth coincides with two significant acquisitions made by the Langley-based company: the purchase of a production plant in Edmonton, Alta. last month and the purchase of a large manufacturing facility in Waco, Texas last fall. “We are extremely pleased with our expansion — the first units have already started to roll off the production line in Texas,” stated Britco president Mike Ridley. Together with its B.C.-based production facilities in Agassiz and Penticton and its newly acquired production plant in Edmonton, Britco is now one of the largest manufacturers of modular buildings in North America. Britco is also working on one of it’s largest projects ever, a $50-million workforce housing project for a large energy company in Alberta, he said, crediting the primary driver for Britco’s growth being the energy, mining, and infrastructure sectors in B.C. and
Alberta. Britco is providing 880 rooms that will be contained in 10 two-storey dorm wings totaling 280,000 square feet.The rooms, which are currently being manufactured in Britco’s Agassiz and Penticton plants, are 200 square foot executive style accommodations that have private washrooms, flat screen TV’s and high-end hotel quality finishes. According to Ridley, Britco’s expansion in Edmonton will also mean more work for its factories in B.C. because its stronger presence in Alberta better positions Britco to secure work on large projects in that province. “The energy and mining activity in BC’s north and in Alberta is driving our expansion and allowing us to hire more people locally.” Ridley said. Britco is expecting 2012 to be another strong year, with Ridley estimating that its B.C.-based workforce will grow by another 20 per cent. From projects in Russia, Indonesia, and for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games, Britco and its 500 employees, have developed a strong reputation for being a designer and builder of innovative accommodations in remote locations with extremely challenging site and weather conditions.

While it may have been cold for the volunteers, it was perfect weather for the race participants. “It was a great day for a run,” said Kathie Schellenberg, the race manager for Sunday’s Golden Ears Half Marathon and 10K run. “The rain stopped and the weather cleared and everyone loved it.” Hundreds of runners shook off the weather — and the one-hour time change as a result of the clocks springing forward earlier that morning — to take part in the second annual race. One hundred and 22 runners took part in the half marathon while another 136 ran in the 10-km run.The course began and ended in Pitt Meadows and crossed over into Langley via the Golden Ears Bridge. The race, which is organized by Peninsula Runners, raises money for a pair of charitable causes on either side of the river: Colleen FLANAGAN/Black Press the Langley School Foundation’s Langley’s Max Proske (#83) was the first to cross the finish line in the 10km portion of the School Meals Program and the Friends in Need Food Bank in Pitt Golden Ears Half Marathon race on Sunday.

Eagles flying high as championships approach Langley Events Centre set to host peewee hockey championships It promises to be some fast-paced and exciting hockey. The 2012 B.C. Hockey peewee tier 1 provincial hockey championships will be contested at the Langley Events
Centre from March 19 (Monday) to March 22 (Thursday). Six teams — the host squad from Langley, as well as the North Shore Winter Club, Kelowna, Coquitlam, Cowichan Valley and Prince George — will battle it out for the provincial title. The local squad, the Langley Eagles are on a hot streak heading in, with 15 wins in their past 16 games. And that lone loss came at the hands of the North Shore Winter Club.
In fact, North Shore — which is unbeaten on the season and the topranked team in B.C. — has handed Langley four of their losses on the season. The Eagles made history back in January when they became the first B.C. team to win the prestigious Regina Peewee Classic hockey tournament. ••••• The action gets underway on Monday at 10:30 a.m. with Langley facing
Kelowna. Langley also plays Cowichan Valley later that night at 8 p.m. Other games for the home side include Tuesday versus North Shore and Wednesday against Coquitlam — both of which are at 8 p.m. — and Thursday at 2 p.m. The top two teams from the round robin will play Thursday at 8 p.m. in the championship game.

It’s easily the most incredible goaltending performance ever witnessed at Cowichan Arena, Barr none. James Barr barred the door on Cowichan Valley Capitals’ shooters, stopping 61 of 62 shots, as the Langley Rivermen pulled out an improbable 2-1 overtime victory in B.C. Hockey League action Saturday night. The game meant nothing to Barr and the Rivermen, other than pride, while the result had huge consequences for the Capitals, who

missed a chance for home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs against Surrey with the loss. The Caps kept firing the rubber at Barr, but he kept turning it away.The Rivermen got the break they needed in overtime to generate some offense on a power play and Mario Puskarich onetimed home the gamewinner. “James has been very good,’’ said Langley coach Steve O’Rourke.“He’s a rookie this year. He’s given us a chance to win every night. “He’s very athletic, he works hard, he battles.’’ Barr has played slightly less than half of the Rivermen’s games this season in tandem with Jim Kruger, compiling a 3.65 goals against average. He threw up a goose egg on the Caps until Brayden Sherbinin finally beat him nine minutes into the third period on a power play. Everyone expected the roof to cave in on the Rivermen after that, but Barr didn’t let it happen. He made two ridiculous saves on Caps’ sniper Brett Knowles during the third period. Knowles had Barr beaten twice, but he sprawled out to get a piece of the puck each time. “That was definitely the most this season,’’ said Barr of the enormous shot total. Barr was still smiling in consultation with the referees in the late stages of regulation time and into overtime despite the heavy workload. “I was having a good time,’’ he conceded. “I was just trying to do my job out there. I knew I wanted to make a statement that I’m ready to come back next season.’’ Langley lost 5-4 on Friday in Victoria and 5-2 on Sunday in Alberni Valley.They finished the season in seventh spot in the Coastal Conference with 44 points.

Four crowned district champs After a dominating regular season — they went 10-1-1 and had a goal differential of plus41 — coach Sherman Foster was not sure what to expect when his team was moved up a division for the Fraser Valley district Cup playoffs. But the Langley United Youth Soccer Association U14 House B team proved it more than belonged, downing the NCU Gladiators 2-0 in the championship game. “We felt we might have some chance at the beginning of the season, but when they moved us up a division for Cup (play) we knew it would be a daunting task,” said coach Sherman Foster. Langley scored once in the first half and then added an insurance marker with a few minutes remaining to cap off what the coach called a great season. “The boys gelled fairly quickly and really worked hard for each other,” he said. “The key to our success was the willingness of the boys to work hard and always make sure they outworked their opponents, which they did most of the time.” In the final, Langley delivered a solid, sound defensive game plan, which did not allow their opponents any big plays. ••••• After a so-so regular season, the Langley Bullets caught fire at the Fraser Valley district Cup championships. The Langley United Youth Soccer Association boys’ U15 house B team went 5-0-1 during round robin play and earned a berth in the championship final at Willoughby Community Park last week.

Langley United Youth Soccer Association’s David Mackie (left) boots the ball against his Peach Arch United Sky Blues opponent during the Fraser Valley district Cup play at Willoughby Community Park. And as has been the case throughout the Cup playoffs, the Bullets’ offence was unstoppable, as they scored a 5-3 win over Pitt Meadows United. Langley scored 30 times over their six Cup games. “When it came to the Cup, we just played strong as a team,” said coach Wayne Van Loo. “We completely had it turned on.” This is the coach’s fourth year with the main core of the team and the squad has won their age-group Cup three times in that span. ••••• A youth soccer team had to overcome not only a short roster, but a halftime deficit, and they did, capturing the U14 district soccer championship. Langley Youth Soccer Association’s U14 house C boys squad scored twice in the second half to weather the Port Coquitlam Storm 2-1 at the Langley Events Centre in the Fraser
Valley district finals. The Langley squad had just 12 players because of injury and sickness, meaning they had a lone sub, while the Storm had five or six bodies on the side ready to go in. Trailing at the half, Langley struck for the tying goal early in the second half and then scored the winner on a penalty kick. “We started the season a little bit slow, trying to get everybody up to speed,” said coach Bruce Laidlaw. “But as the season went on, we got stronger.” Langley was 4-3-4 during the regular season, but won all six of their games at the district tournament. “They really stood on their heads and in some cases, played beyond their abilities,” Laidlaw said. “They really played hard.” ••••• A strong regular season carried over
into the playoffs as the Langley Fury came away with top spot. The Langley FC U12 girls Gold Soccer squad scored a 2-0 victory over the Coquitlam Metro Ford Spitfires in the gold medal game of the B.C. Coastal Girls Soccer League. The game was played at Burnaby Heights Park on March 4. The Fury advanced to the final after scoring twice in overtime, defeating the Vancouver Super Foamy Cappuccinos 4-2 the day before. “The girls had a great season,” said Fury coach Rich Pasqua. “They worked hard all year and were a very dedicated bunch and it paid off for them in the end. “We are real proud of this group.” The Fury finished second in league play at 23-6-1, only conceding 28 goals in the 30 games while finding the back of the net 103 times.

After a 2-2 tie during round robin play, the Langley Eagles got another crack at the North Shore Winter Club.

The victory advances the peewee A4 hockey team to Fort Nelson where they will compete at the provincial championships. The tournament begins on
every opportunity.� The Eagles have amassed a 52-18-9 record on the season, which includes a tournament victory last month in Phoenix. In the championship final, Langley overcame a 3-0 deficit to take the title 6-4. The Eagles are a balanced bunch — in Phoenix, they boasted all three top scorers. “The best part is that it is never just one kid or one line,� Qualtrough said. “Every game, a different person or group of people step up and manage to help the team succeed, whether it’s a timely save, a great defensive play or a much needed goal.�

Cassidy Suidy and Halle Berwick scored for the Lightning in the shootout round, while goaltender Sherri Brake only allowed one goal to give Langley the victory. The championship banner caps off a stellar season for the Lightning as they also won gold at the Abbotsford Icebreaker tournament in December and silver at the Spring Breakaway Hockey Tournament in Kelowna earlier this month.

CAR CARE & REPAIR Teen crash rate highest in first month According to a study from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, teen drivers are approximately 50 per cent more likely to crash in the first month of driving than they are after a full year of experience driving on their own, and are nearly twice as likely to crash as they are after two full years of experience. Researchers found that three common mistakes – failure to reduce speed, inattention, and failure to yield – accounted for 57 per cent of all crashes in which teens were at least partially responsible during their first month of licensed driving. Additionally, when researchers looked at specific types of crashes in relation to how long the driver had been licensed, they found that some types of crashes occurred at relatively high rates at first and declined particularly quickly with experience. The high initial rate and subsequent steep decline in certain types of crashes appeared to reflect teens' initial inexperience followed by rapid learning.

In Loving Memory FLORETTE McEWEN It’s hard to believe that a year has come and gone. It seems like only yesterday, that you were taken from us. You gave no one a last farewell. You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why. A million times we have missed you a million tears we have cried. If love alone could have saved you, you would never have gone away. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place, no one else can fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone, for part of us went with you, the day God took you home. We thank God he made you, such a dear wife, mother & friend, while you were here. Angels carry our love and kisses to you, we carry your heart in our hearts. Someday we will be together again. We will love you always. You are deeply missed by all Mom, love your family.

Always a loving and generous heart willing to do anything for anyone and could fix almost anything. He was an enthusiastic fisherman who loved going to his Northern Saskatchewan Fishing Camp with his family and “buddies”. Beyond passionate pilot and aviation entrepreneur… visionary, spontaneous, and adventurous!
