Marijuana fire closes highway Girls invited to take to

the skies above

Langley

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

A stubborn fi re that forced the shutdown of Fraser Highway near 240 Street on Sunday was housing a large legal marijuana grow oper-ation.

Two fl oors of the three storey building was housing active crops of marijuana, confi rmed Township assis-tant fi re chief Bruce Fergu-son.

The blaze was very diffi -cult to battle because the structure had been altered and compartmentalized to accommodate the grow ops, he said. Firefi ghters could only battle the fi re defen-sively, not risking going in-side, he said. Three people and two dogs were home at the time of the blaze. Every-one got out safely and no injuries were reported.

It was around 9:30 a.m., when bystanders noticed a couple people standing on the balcony of the building while the structure was burning.

“The two people on the balcony were looking pret-

ty dazed and confused and so the bystanders yelled at them to come down and get away from the fi re,” he said. The fi re department was called and arrived quick-ly but already fl ames were shooting through the roof, said Ferguson.

That area of Langley doesn’t have fi re hydrants so water tankers were called in from every hall to battle the blaze during a heavy snow fall. Traffi c had to be routed around the scene for several hours while multiple units of the Township fi re department fought the blaze.

The building, that once was a truck-based garage on the bottom with living space above, is totally de-stroyed. The building loss is estimated around $500,000 to $700,000.

Fire crews won’t know the cause of the blaze because they aren’t investigating, said Ferguson.

Langley RCMP will not be investigating or looking to pursue charges because it’s a licensed grow operation.

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

When we think of fe-male pilots, most of us go to the famed aviator Amelia Earhart — the 16th woman in histo-ry to be issued a pilot’s license and the fi rst fe-male to fl y solo across the Atlantic and Pacifi c Oceans.

In 1937, she myste-riously disappeared while trying to circum-navigate the globe.

She paved the way for women in fl ight.

Yet, to this day men still dominate the skies.

In fact, only six per cent of commercial pi-lots are female. While the percentage of fe-male doctors, lawyers and CEOs has skyrock-eted, women involved in aviation and aero-space remain few and far between.

Two fl oors full of marijuana plants went up in smoke when a legal grow operation caught fi re in a three-storey building at 240 Street and Fraser Highway on Sunday morning. Township fi re crews had to tanker in water to battle the diffi cult fi re. Three people and two dogs got out without injury.

Brookswood open house attracts record crowd

The future of Brookswood’s large trees, many of them coniferous trees such as Douglas fi rs and cedars, are a major concern of many residents of the area. A protest sign was posted on a stand of trees at the intersection of 200 Street and 36 Avenue, in advance of Wednesday’s open house on the proposed community plan for the area, which calls for signifi cant development.


The fourth open house on the Brookswood/Fernridge Community Plan drew a crowd at the Brookswood Secondary School gymnasium Wednesday night.


DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

The fourth open house about the Brookswood/Fernridge com-munity plan drew a record crowd to Brookswood Secondary School in Langley Wednesday night (Feb. 19).

Township staff said 530 people signed in during the open house, an all-time high turnout for a sin-gle-evening event.

The actual number is likely higher because some people may not have signed in, including the fi ve members of council who at-tended.

“It’s the most I’ve ever seen,” Councillor Bev Dornan told The Times.

The open house was the re-ult of a last-minute decision by Township council, which added one more airing of the plan out of concern there might be confu-sion with a different community plan.

“We thought we’d allow them one more chance before the public hearing,” Dornan explained.

Councillor Kim Richter, who also attended the event, called the turnout “excellent” in an online posting.

Mayor Jack Froese and Council-lors Grant Ward and Charlie Fox attended as well.

Staff were on hand to fi eld ques-tions about the plan and collect written responses from residents reacting to displays set up in the school gymnasium.

Like previous open houses, the big issue for most visitors ap-peared to be density and concerns that the plan to allow more hous-ing will affect the quality of life in the area.

Local resident Lionel Adams was concerned that permitting bigger residences closer together will mean the loss of large trees.

“I just don’t see how they’re go-ing to do it [without cutting down the trees],” Adams told The Times.

Another resident, Bernard Froeb-el, said roads in the area should be widened before more housing goes in.

“How can you plan anything

without roads [already in place]?” Froebel said.

“You have to have infrastruc-ture.”

The plan would concentrate low-rise apartment buildings and commercial developments at three intersections along 200 Street at 24, 32 and 40 Avenues, with a fourth concentration pro-posed for 40 Avenue and 208 Street.

To handle the increased traffi c generated by the higher housing density, the plan calls for widen-ing 200 Street south of 32 Avenue from two lanes to four, and, even-tually, doing the same to 40 Ave-nue, which would function as “an eastward connector into Alder-grove and onto Fraser Highway” in the words of a planning depart-ment presentation.

Brookswood/Fernridge currently has a population of 13,000, most living in single-family homes.

A 1987 community plan adopted by council envisioned a commu-nity of 35,500 at build-out, most of them living in houses on 7,000 square foot lots.

The 26-year-old plan also called for a commercial centre at 200 Street and 32 Avenue, surrounded by multi-family housing with up to 30 units an acre.

A planning department assess-ment describes the 1987 plan as “outdated, [one that] does not refl ect current planning princi-ples, including lessons and in-sights gained over the past two decades.”

Wednesday was the last day res-idents could make comments on the plan.

The deadline for submissions was midnight, Feb. 19, in order to allow staff time to prepare a report summarizing the writ-ten responses, both at the open house and online, for council before the public hearing on the plan.

That hearing is scheduled for Monday, March 3 at 7 p.m. in Township council chambers.

530 PEOPLE SIGN IN AT EVENT


Bad weather has forced a second postponement of the new 56 Avenue bridge over the Nicomekl River.

An update posted on the Township of Langley website says the bridge, located between 211 Street and 213A Street, is now scheduled to open on Friday, March 7.

Family and friends of the late graphic designer Craig Davies attended the unveiling of a metal “art wall” in his honour at McBurney Lane Monday afternoon. Among them were Kate Davies (with red scarf), and granddaughter Keeley (in blue toque). Acting Langley City mayor Ted Schaffer is standing behind them. Davies, who died of cancer last year, was a key member of the Langley business community for more than 30 years and was longtime chair of the Downtown Langley Merchants Association.


Art wall reflects a ‘love of type’DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

A metal art wall was unveiled in Langley City on Monday af-ternoon, to honour the memory of the late Craig Davies.

The 1.5-metre high curved sheet of aluminum with words like “give back,” “volunteer,” and “make a difference” cut into it stands in McBurney Plaza.

Davies, who passed away last summer, operated the Design One Graphic Group for more than 30 years.

His son Grant said the memo-rial captured his father’s pas-sion for the shape and look of letters.

“The words really refl ect his love of type,” he said.

City of Langley acting mayor Ted Schaffer described Davies as a strong advocate for the business community in down-town Langley and a dedicated volunteer who made signifi cant contributions to events like Arts Alive, the Langley City Commu-nity Day parade and the city’s

annual Christmas parade.“Craig epitomized what it

means to give back, to support others and to make a differ-ence,” Schaffer said.

Davies was named the George Preston Business Person of the Year by Greater Langley Cham-ber of Commerce in 2011.

He served for many years as chair of the Downtown Langley Merchants Association board.

More than 20 people attended the event, most of them family and friends.

From Page 3While the website doesn’t give a reason,

poor weather conditions and heavy snowfall is believed to be the cause.

The replacement of the aging bridge over the Nicomekl was originally scheduled to open by the end of January.

Then, the opening was moved back to Feb. 24 because work fell behind schedule af-ter metal thieves stole custom-made metal hangers from the construction site.

The hangers were needed to support gas, water and sewer lines running underneath the bridge, and it took about three weeks to make replacements.

As well, the soil around the bridge turned out to be softer than tests fi rst indicated.

Traffi c will continue to be detoured along the Langley Bypass, Fraser Highway and 216 Street.

The new Willoughby neighbourhood park currently being built in southeast Yorkson will be named “Richard Bulpitt Park,” in honour of a former Langley school superintendent who passed away in 2007.

The park will be located east of Rich-ard Bulpitt Elementary School, which opened in September at 20965 77A Ave.

The decision was announced at the Monday, Feb. 17 Langley Township coun-cil meeting.

“Richard made a lasting impression on the Langley School District and the com-munity as a whole,” Mayor Jack Froese said.

“It is fi tting that his name and memory will live on through this park.”

Bulpitt, a father of fi ve and grandfather of 17, spent 35 years in education.

He was a principal at Bel-mont, Fort Langley Elemen-tary, and Noel Booth Ele-mentary and Langley Fine Arts School before becoming superintendent of the Lang-ley School District from 1996 to 2001.

Bulpitt was working as a missionary in Vietnam with his wife Valerie in 2007, when he died of a heart at-tack.

“Those who knew Richard saw that he truly believed family was the most im-portant thing, whether it was your family at home or the family you work with,” Froese said. “He recognized the importance of tak-

ing care of others, and the value of furthering yourself through education.”

When it opens in 2015, Richard Bulpitt Park will have two full-sized sand turf soccer fi elds, a neigh-bourhood baseball back-stop, a perimeter trail for cyclists and pedestrians, and a children’s play area with seating for park users.

The school is one of three new schools built or under construction in Willoughby in recent years. Lynn Fripps Elementary is located on 83 Avenue, and a new middle

school is under construction on 84 Ave-nue.

and helicopters for the past 20 years, is hoping to change all that.

Brazier is bringing The Sky’s No Limit - Girls Fly Too, a free event in celebration of wom-en in aviation to the Langley Regional Airport on Saturday, March 8 and Sunday, March 9 from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. both days.

Women and girls of all ages who have never fl own in a small aircraft will enjoy free fl ights, meet female Coast Guard pilots, RCMP helicopter pilot, female Air Force and oth-er outstanding women in avi-ation. Visitors to the event can also go into the traffi c control tower and get under the hood and work on the gears to see how these mighty machines work.

The goal, said Brazier, is to en-courage more females to think about working in a lucrative

industry that has traditionally been dominated by men.

“Studies show that one of the major barriers to more women getting involved in aviation and aerospace is the perception that these industries are reserved for men. Because of this, they don’t even consider it,” Brazier said. “We want to change that. We want girls and women to seriously think about careers as pilots, air traffi c controllers, mechan-ics, or aeronautical engineers.”

Deciding to have a career in aviation has been very lucrative and adventurous for Brazier.

Not only will she soon be one of the only female pilots to car-ry four different airline licenses, she has fl own as a bush pilot,

done fi re patrol, fl own beavers and otters, helicopters, fl own in the Arctic and in the Caribbean where she fl ew skydivers.

“This career has led me into some wonderful places and that’s why I’m so passionate

about pro-m o t i n g more wom-en to be a part of this,” she said.

B r a z i e r , with help from a strong team of volunteer organizers

including the Langley City may-or’s wife Jean Schaffer, is hop-ing to bring more than 5,000 people, males and females to the two-day event.

The highlight of the day is to take hundreds of girls and women on a fl ight (fi xed wing or helicopter) for their fi rst time, she said.

Already, 600 females have reg-istered so the spots are fi lling fast, she noted.

They can fl y 1,500 females over the two days.

She brought the Girls Fly Too event fi rst to Yellowknife two years ago where it was a huge success and won fi ve interna-tional awards, and has also been listed as the single largest event of its kind for Women Of Aviation World Wide Week.

She plans to bring that same success and awards to Langley Regional Airport.

Langley actually is a perfect fi t for such an event.

“Langley Township has a thriving aviation industry and Langley Regional Airport is at the heart of that success,” pointed out Township mayor Jack Froese who will emcee the event.

In fact, employment in avia-tion, including helicopters, and the aerospace industry is big business in Langley and there is plenty of opportunity for good paying jobs in maintenance and fl ight.

“Our airport is a hub for trans-portation, employment and education and there is a lot to inspire the girls and women who participate in the Sky’s No Limit. Maybe one day they will

be working here themselves.”University of the Fraser Valley

is one of the gold sponsors of Girls Fly 2, where they will be promoting their structures pro-gram to females. YVR is also a gold sponsor.

“There is shortage of skilled technical people in aviation. Yet, no one has tapped into 50 per cent of the population of women who have never been part of the equation,” she said. In fact, less than two per cent of mechanical and maintenance crews at places like Vancouver

Airport are female.Brazier doesn’t just want to

stop at this amazing event, which will be the fi rst annual. She hopes to mentor UFV fe-male students as well as work with high schools.

Girls and women who want to register to fl y just have to go to girlsfl y2.ca. For more info, visit the Facebook page SkysNoLim-itGirlsFlyToo. The event will take place on the runway and hangars on the north side (off 56 Ave.). A runway is being shut down for parking as well.

These girls can’t contain their excitement at taking their fi rst fl ight at the second Sky’s No Limit — Girls Fly Too event held last year in Yellowknife. This year, organizer Kirsten Brazier brings it to Langley Regional Airport - making it the biggest women avaiation event in North American history. Her goal is to get more females involved in aviation and aerospace.

Do you support urbanization of Brookswood and Fernridge?

Will Canadian athletes win more Olympic medals at Sochi than at the 2010 Vancouver Games??of the week

Questionwe asked you:Last Week

The horrors of last week’s shooting of pro-testers in Kyiv, Ukraine turned to euphoria by Friday, when it became clear that Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych had been all but deposed. He fl ed to an unknown location by

Friday night, and on Monday the acting government is-sued an arrest warrant for him.

At the root of the lengthy protests was the decision to turn down closer relations with the European Union, in-stead turning to Russia, its neighbour and former master in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. While this deci-sion was endorsed by many Ukrainian residents, particu-larly those of Russian origin, many others disagreed. They wish to move towards a more European way of life, with a more open society, better mobility and, hopefully, a stron-ger democracy and economy.

As the shooting started last week, in the midst of the 2014 Winter Olympics in nearby Sochi, Russia, many peo-ple wondered what the outcome would be. There was one good element in the timing — Yanukovych’s ally, Russian President Vladimir Putin, could not in any way interfere while the Olympics were underway. Putin has interfered in former Soviet republics before, and he almost certainly was at least thinking of interfering in Ukraine, where Rus-sia has many interests.

Yanukovych’s departure from Kyiv, and perhaps most im-portantly, the opening up of his former villa outside Kyiv to the public, showing his opulent way of living and document-ing his spending, have likely put an end to any chance he has of being part of Ukraine’s future. This welcome show of glasnost has likely caused Putin to think twice as well.

Ukraine is still in a very fragile state. Now more than ever, it is important for Canada to offer support to the Ukrainian people and help ensure that upcoming elections are free and fair. Canada can have an important voice in Ukraine — this country has the third-largest population of people of Ukrainian background, behind Ukraine and Russia. Our tangible and meaningful support at this time is crucial.

It’s no secret that fi nding a doctor who is taking new patients is a diffi cult task.

Unless you have complex care issues or are pregnant, chances are that every nagging cough, aching joint or unending migraine will

end with you pulling a number at your local walk-in clinic — or worse, waiting through the night in an emergency room for basic care.

Of the 4.4 million people in B.C., it’s believed that 14 per cent are “unattached” to a family physician. That equals more than 600,000 men, women and children who don’t have a singular care provider. Granted, some of those peo-ple are perfectly fi ne with that. But many others are des-perate for a family doctor who can oversee their children’s health, their aging parents, or their own regular exams.

It’s well known that having a doctor you trust can im-prove your health. But even for those with family doctors, wait times for appointments can be as long as three to four weeks — not much help for someone suffering acute symptoms.

But all the shortages and wait times aside, there are qualifi ed, caring professionals doing their best to help as many people as they can in a day. As we are learning through the GP For Me initiative, doctors are working on long-term solutions for a better system.

Taking an active role in your own health care can only help the situation, and there are a number of things we can each do.

That includes using the HealthLink website and access-ing medical advice through their 811 phone line.

Take notes at your doctor’s offi ce, or ask your doctor to write down important information for you. Don’t leave prescription refi lls to the last minute. If you have a chronic illness, go to clinics and seek out information to help you manage your symptoms. Book appointments in advance when possible, and call if you can’t make an appointment.

Every little thing can help alleviate a good, but over-whelmed, health care system.

Many girls don’t get chanceThe come from behind victory

by the women’s hockey team on Thursday was a proud Canadian moment. The gold medal win, af-ter being down 2-0 late in the third period, was a very exciting time for Canadians. It was one of the high-lights of the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia, which have generally been a triumph for Canadian athletes.

There have also been some other fi ne moments — Canadi-an cross-country ski coach Justin Wadsworth helping Russian skier Anton Gafarov, who broke his ski, and speed skat-er Gilmore Junio giving up his place in the 1000 metre race, to allow Denny Morrison to compete and win a silver medal.

One of the persistent criticisms of wom-en’s ice hockey in the Olympics is that there are really only two good teams, competition after competition — Canada and the United States. It’s a legitimate point, but it leads to a more important question. Why?

To a lesser degree, the same point can be raised about women’s soccer in the Sum-mer Olympics, although there are more than two truly competitive teams. But there aren’t too many.

I got a hint at why this might be the case when attending the North American play-offs for women’s soccer berths in the Lon-don Summer Olympics, which were held at B.C. Place in January, 2012. The American and Canadian teams were dominant — oth-er teams, including Mexico, a populous na-tion which is soccer-mad, were very weak and hardly belonged on the same pitch.

Another clue for me came during a visit to Sierra Leone and Ghana in West Africa at the end of last year. While soccer is far and away the most dominant sport in both countries, and indeed is the most universal topic of conversation, I didn’t see a single girl playing the game. We observed many games — all involved boys and young men.

In the case of hockey, most coun-tries don’t even play the game. In Africa, ice and snow are unknowns. In many other parts of the world, it’s the same story. And even in countries with cold climates, hock-ey isn’t universal — and where it is played, it usually involves boys.

But a much more important fac-tor is the role of girls and women in society in many parts of the world. Many of them never get the op-portunity to take part in sports at

all. Many are expected to do a great deal of housework, laundry, cooking and tak-ing care of younger siblings, at very young ages themselves.

Shortly after they reach puberty, there is often enormous pressure placed on them — by society, in some cases by their fami-lies and in almost all cases by men, to have sex and/or get married and have children. Far too many young girls are mothers by the age of 15.

Girls don’t get the chance to be girls for very long in many parts of the world. They most certainly don’t get the chance to play games like hockey and soccer into their teens and 20s. It’s not that they don’t want to play — look at how the interest in women’s hockey has grown in Canada and the United States, where girls who express an interest in playing usually will get the chance to do so.

Girls’ soccer is very widely-played in both Canada and the U.S., and that’s as it should be. Girls deserve the chance to take part in athletics and learn all the valuable lessons that come with taking part in team sports.

Hopefully some day, there will be many more teams that will challenge the Cana-dian and American dominance in women’s ice hockey. But for that to happen, there needs to be a major change of attitude about the role of girls and women in many parts of the world.

Why the delay?Editor: Is there anyone

else out there that fi nds it a bit strange that a two-lane bridge over the “mighty” Nicomekl Riv-er — a small creek most of the year — has taken construction crews some six months to complete? And as I write this, it isn’t for sure that this project is even done yet.

We, the gullible taxpay-ers, might just want to see an accounting (i.e. an audit), as to why it took so long, and how much it cost, in comparison to the original estimates.

And don’t even think about blaming it on a few “pipehangers” that were allegedly stolen (The Times, Feb. 11).

It seems to me that a lot of projects in our Langley Township are not proper-ly accounted for. It might just be time for a new slate of municipal gov-ernment, and possibly an independent audit of the goings-on at the Town-ship of Langley.

Please don’t bring up our ever-increasing prop-erty taxes, in the face of tough economic times.

Connect the beans

Stop fighting good thing

Editor: How can a beautiful building plan cause so much agi-tation and tension? The Coulter Berry saga in Fort Langley ap-pears to be giving some people the jitters.

By court affi davit, Diane Morrison of Wendel’s Cafe claims “If the development proceeds, I believe it will have a long term neg-ative effect on the success of Fort Langley as a heritage tourist destination, which in turn will impact my ability to successfully carry on business” (From the lawsuit against Langley Township).

Tourists will stop coming to Fort Langley to drink coffee if a new building is built with a third fl oor? Presumably the scale and density of such a development will destroy Fort Langley as a destination, causing the caffeine business to collapse.

As a Fort Langley resident and java junkie, this should be cause for alarm. If the resident coffee drinkers aren’t suffi cient to support a local coffee industry, tourists are needed for busi-ness viability. But is there any relationship between building size and coffee consumption by tourists?

Fort Langley’s fi rst specialty coffee business, Spill the Beans (circa 1994) was located in a big new building, Heritage Manor, which replaced the little Chaz Reid house. When the Township issued the permit for this three-storey building, there was fear it would dwarf the community hall and ruin the town.

A couple years later, the little Chevron station on Glover was demolished and replaced with a much bigger building togeth-er with another one on the adjacent vacant lot on Mavis. This comparatively massive re-development included a coffee shop (Wendel’s). Some wondered how the village could possibly sup-port a second coffee shop.

Today, specialty caffeine concoctions can be had at Euphoria Chocolates, Republica Coffee Roasters, Village Tea & Coffee, In-fusion BouTEAque, as well as some of the restaurants. You can even get a latte at the big new Lee’s Market.

The newest coffee shop is attached to a big three-storey build-ing, beside a four-storey building. Lelem Cafe, serving J.J. Bean, is a business venture by the Kwantlen First Nation in space owned by Langley Township.

Republica Coffee Roasters recently announced plans to come roaring out of Gasoline Alley into the proposed Coulter Berry building, most of which would be three storeys.

Building size or architecture does not appear to have any di-rect or indirect connection to caffeine consumption. Wendel’s claim about its ability to successfully carry on business because of the size of the Coulter Berry building is hard to swallow.

I’ll have a cafe mocha with real cream and maple syrup, in-stead.

BRENDA ALBERTS,FORT LANGLEY

Editor: I have recently read several letters from the local NIM-BYS, all against the Coulter Berry project. Now it’s my turn.

I, for one, totally support it. It was tastefully designed, and would do nothing but enhance the area. Unfortunately, the NIM-BYS won a halt, due to a grossly-misinformed, in my opinion, judge. Hopefully, an appeal will be won, and sanity will prevail.

I have some advice for all you NIMBYS out there. Get a life and fi nd something meaningful to do. There are dozens of volunteer organizations that need help — fi nd one and channel your en-ergy positively. Stop fi ghting what is so obviously a good thing.

B.C. needs to smell the rosesEditor: When will B.C. wake up and smell the ros-

es? Almost daily I see news reports on American TV talking about the legal sales of marijuana in Colorado and Washington state, and the increase in tourism in those states.

Lately the talk has been about the hundreds of mil-lions in tax revenue from the tax on sales of marijua-na. This revenue is just a small percentage of the real revenue that is being raised.

Tourism is booming in both of those states. Over the past seven years, B.C. tourism has shown steady decline, largely due to excessive hotel room taxation, while Washington state is booming. Tourists of all de-

mographics are pouring in to Washington and Colo-rado.

On Aug. 19, Alaska will vote on marijuana legaliza-tion and will no doubt join Washington and Colorado. I lived in Alaska for a few years. It is ultra-conserva-tive and ultra-liberal at the same time.

Legalization in Alaska will only serve to make mat-ters worse in B.C., as we will be surrounded by more popular tourism destinations. Maybe B.C. will want to collect some of the pot taxes as well.

ALYSSA O’DELLTimes Reporter

It’s not every day that near-freezing temperatures and thickly falling snow turn out to be the perfect conditions for an outdoor charity event.

With snowfl ake-laced toques and chilled red cheeks, more than 150 walkers set off from Langley’s Gateway of Hope emergency shelter Saturday, Feb. 22, for the fi rst local Cold-est Night of the Year walk to raise funds and awareness for homelessness.

“Look at how many people came out in the cold, the wet and the snow because they want to say, ‘We care,’” said Troy Gaglardi, director of oper-ations at Gateway of Hope.

Local leaders like Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese and Langley City Councillor Gayle Martin were on hand to kick off the event and thank participants for braving the weather to support their com-munity.

Across Canada, Coldest Night of the Year has raised $2.4 mil-lion through partner groups like the Salvation Army’s Gateway of Hope since 2011. The event aims to raise revenue for local charities while providing par-ticipants with the opportunity to experience a small hint of the challenges faced by those experiencing homelessness in their community.

A 2011 homelessness count found 105 persons trying to make ends meet without hous-

ing in Langley, and a fresh Met-ro Vancouver survey is planned for March 2014.

Early estimates suggest that the Langley walk only raised $15,000 of the $25,000 fundrais-ing goal, but Gaglardi said he considered the event a success-ful public relations initiative.

“We believe people have in-trinsic value, no matter what their status is in life. So we want people to know that, we want them to realize that and we want them to feel that,” he said.

Gaglardi said he was sur-

prised when far more walkers showed up for the 5:15 p.m. start that had registered on-line.

Participants walked two, fi ve or 10 kilometres and were greeted back at the Gateway of Hope with hot drinks and a warm chili dinner with some of the facility’s residents.

“One of the reasons why we thought that this Coldest Night of the Year initiative was a good one was that it communicates that the Sal-vation Army is here in town and we want to provide to those that have needs,” he said, explaining this is a cru-cial message both for the ma-jority of Langley’s community as well as those who may be seeking services.

The funds raised this week-end will stay in Langley at the Gateway of Hope, to support various forms of program-ming. Alongside short and longer term housing, Gateway

of Hope, located at 5787 Langley Bypass, provides a cook’s train-ing program, life skills training, fi nancial literacy assistance, medical care and access to computers.

“This facility has been a fan-tastic asset in the city,” Froese said at the Coldest Night event kickoff, crediting collaboration between all levels of govern-ment and the Salvation Army for the success. Organizers say more than 16,000 volunteer hours were spent just last year at Gateway of Hope.

Above: Adrian Mecalf and sons, four-year old Hudson and younger brother Elliot, gear up for what turned out to be what organizers called the ‘perfect weather conditions’ for Langley’s fi rst Coldest Night of the Year walk on Saturday (Feb. 22). Left: Alisha Kuntz, left, and Ayrian Bennik, nine, muster with more than 100 partic-ipants — including Township Mayor Jack Froese and Langley City councillor Gayle Martin, pictured behind — for a two, fi ve, or 10 km walk to raise awareness for the homeless.

Plenty of young families, such as Aid-en Donovan and grandfather Craig Faulkner, turned out for the event.

You’ve searched and searched, and finally you’ve found your dream home. The price seems reasonable. And though not new, the house has been gutted and rebuilt so you don’t have to do a thing to it. It even comes with a mortgage helper – a legal basement suite you can rent out for some extra cash.

The realtor, who by agreement acts for you and the seller too, tells you he knows the seller, who is “a good guy” and “does a good job.” Still, you get a home inspection before going through with the purchase. What could go wrong?

Plenty.

Tammi and Ron (names changed to pro-tect their identity) found themselves in this situation. Unfortunately, they made a couple of key mistakes along the way that, in the end, cost them over $64,000 in expenses and lost rental income.

The seller hadn’t filled in the property disclosure statement to go with the purchase contract. Instead, he’d struck a line through all its questions before sign-ing it. The realtor had added a notation “vendor did not live in house” in expla-nation. He also downplayed this lack of seller disclosure – which should be a “red flag” to any buyer. But he had rec-ommended Tammi and Ron get a prop-erty inspection report, and made that a condition in the purchase contract.

Tammi and Ron got the inspection, plus a roof inspection. But they didn’t follow the inspector’s recommendation to get a separate inspection of the dirt floor crawlspace, not viewed by the inspector.

Soon after moving in, they faced major problems. Water seeped into the base-ment from the crawlspace, due to

problems with the foundation and an inadequate perimeter drainage system. This made the rental suite unfit to live in, so Tammi and Ron couldn’t rent it out. They also had to spend a lot of money trying to fix the water problems and other deficiencies. In the course of their investigation, it became clear that at some point the house had been used as an illegal grow-op.

They sued the seller, but dropped their lawsuit against him after he died. They also sued the realtor and his firm, but were unsuccessful. The court found that some of the issues that led to the water-flooding problems could have been dis-covered if Tammi and Ron had obtained the recommended follow-up inspection. The court also found that the realtor did not have a responsibility to determine whether the renovations undertaken by the vendor were in response to grow-op related damage.

The realtor was also found not liable for failing to warn Tammi and Ron about other defects that he was personally unaware of and which were “latent” (i.e. not reasonably capable of detection upon casual inspection). Once he recom-mended a proper inspection, it was up to Tammi and Ron to protect themselves by having this done.

When buying a home, have all of the recommended inspections performed by qualified inspectors. It’s also a good idea to have your lawyer quickly review your offer before you sign it.

“Buyer beware” is alive and well

NEWSlangleytimes.com 24/7Sunday’s snowfall meant that many Langley residents were out shovelling driveways and sidewalks. Brian

Henderson was more effi cient than many, using two snow shovels at once to clear his driveway on 208 Street.



Coulter Berry developer Eric Woodward spoke to a mostly sympathetic crowd of more than 200 Thursday night in Fort Langley to describe how the design of the controversial structure has been revised.



There were more supporters than opponents of the Coulter Berry building at a Thursday night open house arranged by developer Eric Woodward in Fort Langley, to present a re-vised design for the controver-sial construction project.

More than half of the more than 200 people who fi lled the Fort Langley heritage community hall to capacity raised their hands in sup-port, when the question was posed at the end of the two-hour meeting.

There were only two unde-cided.

It was a low-key event, without the heated rhetoric Woodward said has been di-rected against him for trying to build the three-storey proj-ect that is bigger than the Fort Langley size limits.

He projected one example on the wall, a response card that said “obey and respect the law, you greedy bastard.”

Woodward said some of the comments have been “regret-table.”

With the exception of a few muttered heckles at the back of the room, people who spoke against the project at the open

house were uniformly civil, maintaining the building as proposed was simply too big, with one warning “we could be creating something that doesn’t see a lot of sunshine” while supporters said the building with its mix of retail, offi ce and housing would be an asset to the community.

“I’m very interested in that third fl oor [where the hous-ing will be]” said one man in a wheelchair, who argued the community needs smaller res-idences for people downsizing or in need of disabled-friendly accommodation.

Woodward was pressed about the underground park-ing, something supporters said would make it easier to fi nd spaces in downtown Fort Lang-ley, while critics said it was ex-

cessive.The look of the project has

been altered to make the build-ing appear like several heritage structures, for the application by Woodward to have the area re-zoned to allow construction of the taller building.

The rezoning was something the judge who ruled against the previous approval hinted at when he ruled the Township broke its own rules to approve the fi rst version of the project, saying that would not violate the law.

The builder defended the design, calling it “one of the greenest buildings that can pos-sibly be built.”

“If we have to re-apply, why not make it better,” Woodward said.

Woodward added he has no plan to get involved in the court appeal by the Township, but he supports the municipal chal-lenge.

“The Township should be wor-ried about varying a building by one foot [with that precedent],” Woodward said.

Six members of the Township council were present for the open house — Kim Richter, Mi-chelle Sparrow, Bob Long, Bev Dornan, Charlie Fox and Grant Ward.

Langley looks to align spring breakMONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

Langley School District is looking to align its spring break with the rest of schools in Metro Vancouver.

One year of Langley’s three year calendar plan doesn’t align with Metro school calendars.

Langley School District was the fi rst district to approve a three year calendar plan which was for the school years 2013/2014, to 2015/2016. This came after the Board of Education rejected a pro-

posal to look at year-round schooling.Since then, Metro has done their three year cal-

endar approval and it does not align with Lang-ley’s 2015/2016 school year (the other years do align).

The 2015/2016 spring break is currently sched-uled for March 21 - April 1.

A change in Langley would include ‘sliding’ spring break ahead one week, making it March 14-28 (both confi gurations include Good Friday and Easter Monday).

If we have to re-apply, why not

make it better.ERIC WOODWARD

All A&W employees in Langley will be wearing Pink on Feb. 26, to help raise awareness about bullying.

Bullying is a major problem in our schools, workplaces, homes and over the internet. The idea of Pink Shirt Day came from two incredible Nova Scotia high school students.

All Langley A&W employees have proudly worn Pink Shirts every year since the campaign began.

BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

Following their southern swing last summer, West My Friend has turned its collective eye to the east — well, kind of.

The Victoria-based acoustic ensemble, comprised of four UVic grads — includ-ing two former Langley Fine Arts School students — is returning to Langley next month.

The March 7 concert, at the United Churches of Langley, will be just the second show in a road trip that will take the band around B.C. and into Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba as they introduce songs from their new album, When the Ink Dries.

Jeff Poynter, who plays accordion in the band, graduated from LFAS in 2007, while his bandmate Alex Rempel — mandolin — earned his own dogwood there and headed to the Island the following year.

Eden Oliver — vocals, guitar, fl ute — and Adam Bailey — bass and vocals — round out the group.

All but Bailey were classmates in the music department at UVic. He studied political science instead, but introduced himself to the trio one night after a con-

cert in a Victoria café. The band happened to be looking for a bassist, but Bailey was living in Toronto at the time, so they sought out another musician to fi ll the role.

By the time they found themselves once again in need of a bass player, Bailey had returned to Victoria and West My Friend, as it exists today, was formed.

Since then, they have been making orig-inal music and playing it wherever and whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Last summer, the ensemble toured down the west coast, making a stop in Langley (with an outdoor gig at the local farmers market) before setting off for Washington, Oregon and California.

During that tour, they played at univer-sities, clubs, coffee shops and arts centres.

Among the gigs also were several pri-vate house parties, which were booked through a website — concertsinyourhome.com — where a band performs for the householder and then is given accommo-dation for the night.

Though it’s still more popular in the U.S. it’s “defi nitely a growing thing” north of the border, said Poynter.

During that tour, the band performed

songs from its fi rst album, 2012’s Place, but mixed in several of their more recent creations as well.

“It’s good to tour with new material,” said Poynter. “It helps us to tighten it up and decide where we want to go with it.”

When The Ink Dries, has a bit of ev-erything, he said. From songs featuring just the four of them — “like you’d hear live” – to others that feature a 27-piece “mini-orchestra” including strings, brass and an organ.

One of the singles off the new CD, Missing You, is available to listen to at no charge on the band’s website.

With its pop music style, it’s not really typical of the band’s sound, said Poyn-ter, adding that West My Friend is better known for its more folky guitar and man-dolin sound, creating an acoustic blend of instruments and four-part harmonies.

“Eden wrote it on a piano. Of course, we don’t travel with a piano,” said Poynter.

So, while out on the road, it falls to him to take over on the accordion.

Poynter actually studied saxophone while earning his degree, but he took up the accordion as well, after receiving one from the parents of one of his own music

students. He had studied piano, so the portable instrument was easy enough to pick up on his own, he said.

If fact, every member of West My Friend is a multi-instrumentalist.

Starting out, at concerts they would play a bit of everything from the glockenspiel to the banjo, changing instruments on the fl y from one song to the next.

“It was fun and the audience liked it,” said Poynter. But eventually, it got “a little ridiculous” he added.

“We decided it was probably a good idea to choose one.”

Poynter, who was playing both saxo-phone and accordion, asked his band-mates to decide for him. It was unani-mous.

Poynter and his accordion — joined by Oliver, Rempel and Bailey (and their respective instruments) — will take the stage at the United Churches of Langley on Friday March 7 at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m.

Tickets: $15 regular admission and $10 students/seniors. Advance tickets are available at the United Churches of Lang-ley, 21562 Old Yale Rd. ( at Five Corners in Murrayville).

The members of Victoria-based West My Friend, from left: Adam Bailey (bass), Alex Rempel (mandolin), Jeff Poynter (accordion) and Eden Oliver (guitar and fl ute) will make Langley the second stop on the Western Canada tour. The band, which features two Langley Fine Arts School graduates, will perform music from their new album, When the Ink Dries.

ENSEMBLE BRINGS THEIR FOLK-ACOUSTIC SOUND TO UNITED CHURCHES OF LANGLEY


BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

A beloved children’s tale, turned big screen blockbuster, is now com-ing to the stage in Langley.

Imagine That! theatre company’s production of The Hobbit opens at the end of this month for a two-week-end run.

Fresh off its January production of Holy Mo and Spew Boy, which featured a cast of just three per-formers, Imagine That! is preparing to take audiences on an epic jour-ney through Middle Earth — where they’ll meet the Hobbit himself, Bil-bo Baggins, as well as Gandalf the Grey, Gollum and a band of dwarves

who are determined to reclaim their home under the Lonely Mountain from the evil dragon Smaug.

Many among the cast of 16 will take on multiple parts and collec-tively perform more than 25 roles.

Donning the familiar grey robes of the wizard Gandalf, is Langley’s Derek Usher, a regular player on the Venue stage.

With the second of three major studio fi lms dedicated to the book recently in theatres, the viewing public no doubt has a particular im-age in its collective mind of charac-ters and sets, Usher agreed.

Liam Sullivan as Thorin, Ted Staunton as Balin, Derek Usher as Gandalf, Zavier Tanner as Bilbo Baggins.

But what they’ll see on the stage is very much a refl ection of the source material, he added.

“Faith (Toronchuck, director and produc-er) doesn’t want us to watch the movies until afterward — which is hard, because Gandalf is iconic,” said Usher.

The challenge for the actor is to ignore what’s been done in the past and create a wizard that, for him, refl ects Tolkein’s vi-sion.

“We’re all informed by different things we see.

“I do more of a character study of who I think the writer intended (Gandalf) to be,” he said.

For Usher, the role offers a chance to stretch his own creative muscles, but he’s also very appreciative of the opportunities the small theatre company gives to young-er performers.

“The thing I love about Faith and Imagine That! productions is that she takes great care about speaking into people’s lives (and creating) positive affi rmations.

“It’s always an ensemble cast. It’s non-competitive. Everyone gets stage time, everyone gets to play.

“The arts in general can be very compet-itive — to a destructive level. Faith works really hard to make sure that doesn’t enter into it.”

As for the majestic shot-in-New Zealand landscapes and some of the book’s more magical locations — Rivendell, Laketown and Hobbiton, as well as the many scenes that are set underneath the mountains of Middle Earth — well, there are suffi cient-ly clever ways of handling that on a small stage, with as few cumbersome set chang-es as possible, noted Usher.

For the most part, the action will take place through interior scenes — whether inside Bilbo’s hobbit hole or Lord Elrond’s house, Gollum’s cave or the dwarves’ mountain kingdom.

“You can get a lot of different environ-ments in a small space, if you’re intelligent about it,” said Usher.

A master cabinet maker has been help-ing to make the sets, including Bilbo’s iconic round door, even more spectacular, he added.

“We’ve got some beautiful set pieces.”Usher, who works in restoration services,

is also a multi-instrumentalist who divides his performance time between a pair of bands, including one called Dialect 9, the sole purpose of which is to fi ght against human traffi cking.

It was when his son became involved in theatre about seven years ago that Usher got his start with Imagine That,

helping out on the technical end of things — working on lighting and sound.

Then about three years ago, he was coaxed onto the stage when the theatre company mounted a production of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.

Next, he took on the dual role of Captain Hook and Mr. Darling in a production of Pe-ter Pan.

Despite the fact all of the plays have been translated onto the big screen, the re-sponse Usher is getting tells him the pro-duction will be well received once it opens on Feb. 28.

“I found when we did The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, around the same time the earlier movies in the series hap-pened, people were not as excited about it.

“When I mention The Hobbit, their eyes light up,” he said.

•••The Hobbit journeys onto the stage at

The Venue, inside the Friends of the Lang-ley Vineyard Church building 5708 Glover Rd. on Friday, Feb. 28 at 7:30 p.m.

Additional performance dates are Friday, March 7 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturdays, March 1 and 8 and Sundays, March 2 and 9 at 2:30 p.m. each day.

General admission tickets are $15, and are available from the online box offi ce at ImagineThatPlace.com. They may also be purchased at the door or from cast mem-bers

The theatre box offi ce opens one hour before showtime. Doors open 30 minutes before curtain.

The play is approximately two hours long, with a 15 minute intermission.

Children who are able to sit quietly for the duration are welcome, said Toronchuk.

However some may fi nd parts scary; actors playing mythical creatures wear masks and it becomes loud in places.

In a world saturated by reality TV and tabloid news, it has become increasingly diffi cult to ne-gotiate what we perceive as truth.

With that in mind, Kwantlen Polytechnic Uni-versity’s creative writing, journalism and com-munications studies departments have invited renowned Canadian writers, artists, journalists and fi lmmakers to examine the challenges and rewards of using print and fi lm to tell the truth.

Truth Be Told is a free one-day educational symposium that will feature discussions about truth at the personal, familial, community, na-tional and global levels.

The keynote address will be given by the award-winning author of Eating Dirt, Charlotte Gill (Sunshine Coast). Panelists include: the Chil-ean-Canadian author, poet and political activist, Carmen Rodriguez (Vancouver); award-winning writer and former director of programming for the Vancouver Queer Film Festival, Amber Dawn (Vancouver) (How Poetry Saved My Life),and; Kwantlen First Nation poet and playwright, Jo-seph A.

Langley Community Music School welcomes guitarist Dan-iel Bolshoy to the Rose Gellert Hall on Saturday, March 1, at 7:30 p.m.

Bolshoy will perform selected works from his new CD, includ-ing pieces by Paraguayan com-poser Agustin Pio Barrios, and the Spanish composers Joaquin Rodrigo and Regino Sainz de la Maza.

“We are delighted to feature a solo guitarist once again in our concert series,” said Elizabeth Bergmann, artistic director con-certs for LCMS.

“Celebrated virtuoso, Daniel Bolshoy, will be playing an en-tire program of original works composed for the guitar.

“It’s unusual for him to play a concert program without any transcriptions and only original works. This is a concert not to be missed.”

“The styles that the pro-grammed pieces cover are quite diverse, from French Impres-sionism, to highly romantic tributes to Chopin, to South American folk infl uences, Span-ish nationalism, a very recent American composition which pays homage to an old culture (the suite Next Year, which evokes the old city of Jerusalem) to Brazilian Jazz,” said Bolshoy.

“All the music is quite virtuo-sic and demanding, and I think very appealing to listen to. I hope the audience enjoys it. I certainly enjoy playing it.”

Bolshoy is committed to bringing the guitar to the atten-tion of audiences everywhere.

He is regularly praised for his friendly and informative spo-ken introductions, and progres-sive programming of solo and chamber music.

His concert tours take him

from prestigious international concert stages to remote vil-lages and house-concerts. Mr. Bolshoy is the head of the gui-tar division at the University of British Columbia School of Mu-sic.

Tickets are $22 for adults, $20 for seniors, and $16 for stu-dents. Call 604-534-2848 or visit www.langleymusic.com to pur-chase tickets.

The Rose Gellert Hall is locat-ed at 4899 207 St.

Daniel Bolshoy’s upcoming performance at LCMS promises to offer a diverse range of styles, from French impressionism to South Ameri-can folk. He’ll take the stage at Rose Gellert Hall on March 1.

Walnut Grove Gators’ Ethan Kano-McGregor el-evates for a jump shot during his team’s loss to Langley Christian in the Langley district champion-ship game earlier this month. The Gators rebound-ed from that loss to place second at the Fraser Val-ley championships with Kano-McGregor picking up all-star honours.

GARY AHUJA Langley Times

Gators run out of upsets in finalGARY AHUJATimes Sports

In the end, the Walnut Grove Gators came one up-set short of a championship.

The junior boys basket-ball team was competing at the Fraser Valley champi-onships, and after knocking off the fourth, fi fth and top seeds, came up on the wrong end of a 42-39 score to No. 3 Panorama Ridge on Saturday night at Abbotsford’s MEI Secondary.

Walnut Grove fi nished sec-ond at the Langley District championships on Feb. 6, losing 41-33 to the Langley Christian Lightning. And that loss — which came with the Gators battling a team-wide fl u — cost them as they were seeded 13th for the Fra-ser Valley championships.

But fully healthy, the Ga-tors showed they were wor-thy of a higher seed.

They opened the tourna-ment with a 68-49 win over Sullivan Heights and then edged No. 4 Fleetwood Park 46-43 to make the main draw of the Fraser Valleys.

In the quarter-fi nals, Wal-nut Grove beat No. 5 Yale

72-63 to earn a date with top-seed W.J. Mouat in the semifi nals.

The Gators found them-selves trailing by 10 points with four minutes to go, but Daniel Stead poured in a dozen points over a two-minute span to force overtime. And after Mouat hit a three-pointer to force double overtime, Walnut Grove took control in the second overtime period to win 65-57.

Again the team fell behind at half versus Panorama Ridge, but were able to cut a 10-point defi cit at the break down to a single point. That was as close as they could get, however, falling by three points.

“We just came up short,” said Walnut Grove coach Jon Fast.

“We played a really tough team and we fought back.

“We kept stopping them, and we had our chances (to take the lead) and just couldn’t put it away.”

The team did still qual-ify for the B.C. provincial basketball championships, which get underway tomor-row (Wednesday) and run

until Saturday. Both the ju-nior boys and junior girls provincials are running concurrently at the Langley Events Centre.

No local teams qualifi ed on the junior girls side.

Walnut Grove is seeded third for the tournament and they open play against Duchess Park on Feb. 26 at 1 p.m.

“We knew we could make it here,” Fast said.

His team has just four loss-es on the season.

The Gators’ Ethan Kano-McGregor picked up the team’s lone all-star award at Fraser Valleys.

•••••Zachary Vanderploeg

earned all-star honours as the Credo Christian Kodiaks placed fourth at the Fraser Valley championships.

The Kodiaks lost 81-78 to Maple Ridge Christian in the bronze medal at the Single-A Fraser Valley senior boys basketball championships at Abbotsford Christian.

The loss was costly as the top three teams advanced to the B.C. provincial cham-pionships next week at the Langley Events Centre.

The Kodiaks were the sec-ond seed for the eight-team tournament, but after beat-ing Agassiz 84-32 in the quarter-fi nals, they lost 52-41 to No. 3 Unity Christian in the semifi nals. Credo then defeated the host Abbots-ford Christian Knights 51-50 to advance to the third-place game.

•••••At the Double-A senior

boys Fraser Valley basket-ball championships, Lang-ley Christian Lightning’s Travis Muller earned a sec-ond-team all-star award.

The Lightning went 1-2 at the tournament, beating Surrey Christian 76-71 in their fi rst game but closing with losses to G.W. Graham 95-80 and St. John Brebeuf 77-56.

The tournament was host-ed at Chilliwack’s G.W. Gra-ham.

D.W. Poppy also made the championship round as they knocked off Langley Funda-mental 66-38 in a qualifi er game on Feb. 15.

But the Redhawks went 0-2, losing 72-55 to Delview and 78-47 to Archbishop Car-ney.

Trinity Western Spartans setter Adam Schriemer was named Canada West rookie of the year. But the Spartans fell in straight sets 3-0 to the Alberta Gold-en Bears in the Canada West Final Four gold medal match Saturday at the Langley Events Centre. Both teams are in Calgary this week for the CIS nation-al championships.

GARY AHUJA Langley Times

GARY AHUJATimes Sports

Coach Ben Josephson had his players staring across the net, watching the Alberta Golden Bears celebrate the Canada West men’s volleyball championship trophy.

The Bears had just shocked the Trinity Western Spartans 3-0 (25-20,26-24,26-24) on Satur-day night at the Langley Events Centre in the Canada West Final Four gold medal match.

“It is painful to watch some-body take something that you were working hard to get,” he said afterwards.

“(Alberta) earned it, they want-ed it more than we did and that’s the feeling we get.

“We were out-worked, out-pre-pared and out-played.”

The Bears were the third seed at while Trinity Western had gone 20-2 in the regular season — 11-0 at the LEC — including a pair of head-to-head wins over Alberta.

“We didn’t match the level of desire they had,” Josephson said, adding he would have to watch the game fi lm to see if the Gold-en Bears had done something dramatically different than they did during their regular season matches.

“Statistically, the game was al-most entirely a wash, so when

it is like that, usually whoever wants it more makes those one or two big plays to swing a set and they made them (tonight) and we didn’t.”

“We don’t think you learn any-thing from losing (but) lessons get revealed,” Josephson added.

“So now the lesson is on the table. If you don’t play your top level in a championship game, it is diffi cult to win.”

Both Alberta and Trinity West-ern teams had already quali-fi ed for this week’s Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championships in Calgary after winning their Canada West Final Four semifi nals the night before at the LEC.

Alberta beat Thompson Rivers while the Spartans beat Manito-ba 3-1 (25-17,25-21,22-25,25-19).

The Bears open this week’s CIS championships (Feb. 27 to March 1) as the top seed while the Spartans are seeded third and draw No. 6 Western in the quarter-fi nals.

This is Trinity Western’s fourth straight trip to nationals and after winning titles in 2011 and 2012, Western upset the Spar-tans in the 2013 quarter-fi nals.

“The poker analogy comes to mind,” Josephson said in pre-viewing the championships.

“All you need is a chip and a chair and you can win the tour-nament. Now we have a chair

at the table and a chip on our shoulder because we’re still up-set about last year’s quarter-fi -nals.

“We are pretty excited about the chance to go and redeem ourselves.”

•••••Josephson picked up his sec-

ond Canada West coach of the year award while Spartans set-ter Adam Schriemer earned the conference rookie of the year award.

And Lucas Van Berkel and Nick Del Bianco were both named fi rst team all-stars.

“Those are team awards,” Jo-sephson said.

“I have a great coaching staff, a really supportive wife, who is single-parenting my kids half the time, and I have great play-ers.

“They work hard and they do what I am asking them to do. And if any of those aren’t in place, you can’t be recognized.”

Schriemer quarterbacked the team to a conference-best .313 hitting percentage.

“He helped guide our team to a conference best in wins and attack effi ciency, which are the two most relevant statistics in judging a setter,” Josephson said.

“He still has a long way to go, but to have as much poise and understanding of the position at his age is a rare quality.”

‘They wanted it more’

WALNUT GROVE JUNIOR BOYS WILL PLAY AT PROVINCIALS


The Walnut Grove Gators came up short in their quest to qualify for the Triple-A B.C. provincial basket-ball championships, but did pick up some hardware.

The Gators senior girls basketball team — which is predominantly made up of Grade 11 players — was seeded sixth for the tournament, but an opening round 55-34 loss to No. 11 Maple Ridge put them on the wrong side of the draw and they

could not recover.Walnut Grove did bounce back to

win 76-37 over Chilliwack in their next game, but lost 82-66 to MEI in the double knockout format.

MEI wound up fi fth in the Fraser Valley while Maple Ridge was sev-enth.

The Gators were recognized as the most sportsmanlike team of the 16-team tournament, which was won by Holy Cross (see page 23).

Forwards from the Langley Rugby Club Division 1 men’s team enter a scrum against the United Rugby Club on Feb. 15 at the LRC’s home fi eld on Crush Crescent. The United visitors won the game 30-15 while in men’s Division 2 action, Langley pitched a 31-0 shutout over their United counterparts.

There was no sugarcoating coach Neil Brown’s feelings.

“Bad clock management, bad coaching, they weren’t ready to do it, it just sucked,” said the veteran bench boss of the Brookswood Bobcats senior girls basketball team.

He was speaking after his team let a late lead slip away, losing 69-66 to the Holy Cross Crusaders at the Langley Events Centre in the cham-pionship fi nal of the Triple-A Fraser Valley basketball tour-nament on Saturday night.

A Jessie Brown three-point-er had Brookswood up 66-59 with 3:25 to play, but that would be the last basket the ’Cats would score as the sec-ond-seed Crusaders scored the fi nal 10 points to win.

It was the fi rst loss against B.C. competition this season for the No. 1 Bobcats, who en-tered the game 36-0.

Holy Cross’ Alli Buck hit the winning buck with 6.1 sec-onds left and the Crusaders added a pair of free throws with two seconds left to pad the lead. The Bobcats at-tempted a desperation three-point attempt at the buzzer to no avail.

What really had Brown up-set after the game was the decision making of some of his key players.

“Tayla Jackson and Jessie Brown didn’t want to play, took themselves out of the game and Ace (Aislinn Konig) can’t do it by herself,” he said.

He was referring to Brown — his daughter — and Jack-son being saddled with foul troubles throughout the game. What had him upset was the fact he felt the fouls were unnecessary.

This was the third meeting

between the two teams with Brookswood winning com-fortably in the fi rst game, and then needing overtime to pre-vail a few weeks ago.

“We screwed it up,” he said. “If we don’t want to play, then this happens.”

Konig, Jackson and Jessie

Brown did all earn Fraser Val-ley all-star awards, but Brook-swood could not get in sync with two of their big three stuck to the bench.

Konig said it also hurt the team that they were not get-ting foul calls on their drives to the basket and the team

became too reliant on their outside shot.

“But we should have stopped just relying on the shot from the outside,” she said.

Konig fi nished with 22 points while Jessie Brown had 15 and Jackson had 10 points.

“We weren’t as ready as we should have been,” Konig said.

“And this was our third time playing them and we should have known them.”

The loss was very similar to last season’s Fraser Valley fi -nal when the Bobcats led for much of the game but wound up losing 73-67 to the Maple Ridge Ramblers.

Last year, Brookswood was able to shake off that loss and advance to the provincial fi -nal, eventually fi nishing with the silver medal.

Brown also referred to a few years ago when — with the majority of this group of play-ers on both sides — Brook-swood beat Holy Cross in the Fraser Valley fi nal but the Crusaders beat the ’Cats in the provincial fi nal. He said hopefully his team can turn the tables this time around as both will compete at the B.C. provincial championships, which run March 4 to 8 at the Langley Events Centre.

•••••The Brookswood Bobcats

junior girls basketball team placed sixth at the Fraser Val-ley championships.

The ’Cats, who entered seeded eight, lost 44-18 to the No. 2 Lord Tweedsmuir Pan-thers in the fi fth place game.

Brookswood went 3-2 at the championships with wins over Samuel Roberts Techni-cal (42-30), Holy Cross (34-25) and Abbotsford (49-36). They also lost to Riverside 44-26.

Brookswood Bobcats’ Tayla Jackson goes up for the shot against the Holy Cross Crusaders in the Triple-A Fraser Valley senior girls basketball fi nals at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday.

The Spartans women’s volleyball team faced a must-win match on Saturday at UBC’s War Me-morial Gymnasium against the UBC-Okanagan Heat in the Canada West Final Four bronze medal match.

And Carpentier fi nished with 19 kills as the Spartans won 3-1 (18-25,25-16,26-24,25-14).

Trinity Western was playing for third after los-ing 3-0 (25-17,25-21,25-23) the night before to the Manitoba Bisons.

With their third-place fi nish, the Spartans move on to their fourth straight appearance at the Ca-nadian Interuniversity Sport national champion-ships, which run Feb. 28 to March 2 in Regina.

The Spartans, who are seeded third, face the No. 6 Dalhousie Tigers in the quarter-fi nals.

Prior to the Canada West championships, Car-pentier, Alicia Perrin and Nikki Cornwall earned Canada West conference honours.

Carpentier, an outside hitter, was named a fi rst team all-star after fi nishing the season second in the conference in both kills (4.14 per set) and points (4.96 per set). She also led Canada West with 0.51 aces per set.

Perrin was named to the second team after leading the conference with 1.61 blocks per set and averaging 3.65 points per set.

Cornwall was named to the Canada West rookie team after averaging 6.52 assists per set.

•••••A 5-3 victory helped the Trinity Western Spar-

tans men’s hockey team clinch a post-season berth after a two-year hiatus.

The Spartans improved to 10-12 on the season and leapfrogged the Thompson Rivers WolfPack for third place in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League standings after their win over the visiting WolfPack on Feb. 20 at the Langley Events Centre.

The Spartans were up 4-0 but the WolfPack scored three straight to make it 4-3 with 13 min-utes to go.

“They got a couple of quick ones when we were trying to do too many things that we’re not de-signed to do,” said Trinity Western coach Barret Kropf.

“We’re not a team that can play as individuals. We are a hard working team that has to play as a full unit.

“We got the guys refocused heading into the third period and we got the win.”

Andrew Wheeler, Trevor Beaupre, Cody Ste-phenson and JP Villeneuve had given the Spar-tans a 4-0 lead. Doug Gordon added the insurance marker to make it 5-3.

Harry Fredeman made 31 saves for the win.The Spartans close the regular season with a

pair of road games against Eastern Washington and Selkirk on Friday and Saturday.
