Farm owner hopes to

duck fine for triple fatality

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

A 49-year-old Vancouver woman got away mostly unscathed after a train hit her vehicle on the railway tracks at Glov-er Road and Smith Crescent during the busy afternoon rush hour on Thursday.

The woman was airlifted to hospi-tal but has no broken bones or major injuries and is expected to make a full recovery, said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks.

According to the train engineer, it ap-pears the woman drove onto the tracks, saw the oncoming train, panicked and froze. It was raining heavily at the time.

The driver was the lone occupant of the vehicle.

Witnesses to the collision, which hap-pened just after 5 p.m., said the east-bound vehicle did not stop at the stop sign at the uncontrolled railway cross-ing, and was struck by the northbound train.

The car was sent into the ditch and

didn’t appear to have a lot of damage.Glover Road was closed at Smith

Crescent for about an hour, while the stopped train blocked several crossings in the Milner area, disrupting traffi c in the area.

This is the second train-vehicle colli-sion in Langley in less than a month. On the morning of April 10, a dump truck collided with a CN freight train east of Fort Langley.

The driver of the truck survived his injures.

Staff Reporter

A Langley farmer is trying to avoid paying a $138,000 fi ne for the fatal workplace accident that killed three men and left two others permanently brain-damaged.

Ha Qua Truong was turned down when he went before a Surrey Provincial Court judge last month and applied to have the fi ne set aside on the grounds that his company, H.V. Truong Ltd. is out of business following the sale of the mushroom farm, and is unable to pay.

The judge told Troung cancelling the fi ne was beyond his jurisdiction.

It is not know if Troung intends to appeal to a higher court.

In 2008, when a pipe burst in a shed used to mix gypsum, chicken manure and water, it released toxic levels of hydrogen sulphide gas that killed farmworkers Ut Tran, Han Pham and Jimmy Chan.

Two men, Tchen Phan and Michael Phan sur-vived, but suffered severe brain damage.

As part of a plea bargain, a Surrey judge im-posed fi nes of $350,000 against Van Thi Truong, Ha Qua Truong, Thinh Huu Doan and the compa-nies they operated — A-1 Mushroom Substratum Ltd. and H.V. Truong Ltd.

A-1 Mushroom Substratum Ltd. went bankrupt without paying its share of $230,000.

Of the three smaller personal fi nes, two have been paid in full, one in part.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that some of the evidence uncovered about the deaths could not be used because WorkSafe BC investigators had violated the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Langley ceremonies mark national Day of Honour

A fl ag that fl ew over the Peace Tower in Ottawa now fl ies at the Walk to Remember memorial to those killed in the Canadian mission to Afghanistan, at the conclusion of Friday’s National Day of Honour ceremony there. The Walk to Remember is located at the Derek Doubleday Arboretum, next to Langley Airport.

FRANK BUCHOLTZ Langley Times

Led by Langley City Councillor Rosemary Wallace, a moment of silence was held as part of the National Day of Honour ceremony held on Friday afternoon at the Douglas Park cenotaph. The Canadian govern-ment held the day to mark the end of Canada’s military mission in Afghanistan.

GARY AHUJA Langley Times

GARY AHUJATimes Reporter

A short ceremony, complete with the laying of a wreath at the Douglas Park cenotaph, was held on Friday af-ternoon as part of the National Day of Honour.

The Canadian government set aside the day to mark the contributions and sacrifi ces of the 40,000 Canadian troops who were deployed in Afghanistan, fol-lowing the Sept. 11, 2001 Al-Qaeda at-tack on the United States. The Taliban government of Afghanistan had shel-tered Al-Qaeda.

Two Langley soldiers, Master Cpl. Col-in Bason and Pvt. Garrett Chidley, were among the 158 Canadians killed in ac-tion in the country, during the deploy-ment of the Canadian military there from 2001 until 2014.

The fi nal Canadian troops pulled out of Afghanistan earlier this year.

The event was held by the City of Langley and the Royal Canadian Le-gion Branch 21, with Langley MP Mark Warawa, the Langley City Fire De-partment, and members of both the armed forces and the public also in attendance.

“We couldn’t have done it over there, internationally, if we didn’t have the support back home,” said Lieut.-Col. Doug Poitras, the commanding offi cer of the Royal Westminster Regiment.

He spoke at the event and was accom-panied by Warrant Offi cer Trevor Avey, of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry.

They represented the two regiments whose Langley members made the ulti-mate sacrifi ce in Afghanistan.

Master Cpl. Bason was a member of reserves with the Royal Westminster Regiment. He was killed on July 4, 2007. when his vehicle hit a roadside bomb.

Pte. Chidley died along with four others, including journalist Michelle Lang of the Calgary Herald, on Dec. 31, 2009. The armoured vehicle they were riding in struck an improvised explo-sive device (IED) in the Kandahar dis-trict, where most of the Canadians died.

Pte. Chidley, who graduated from Langley Secondary in 2006, was a mem-ber of the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patri-cia’s Canadian Light Infantry.

On Friday evening, another Day of Honour ceremony took place at the Walk to Remember plantation in the Derek Doubleday Arboretum, adjacent to Langley Airport.

Langley Township Councillor Steve Fer-guson was master of ceremonies, and Langley Township fi refi ghters served as a guard of honour around the memori-al, which contains the names of all 158 sol-diers killed in Afghan-istan.

Trees to commem-orate each one have been planted, as part of a project which got underway thanks to the initiative of Lang-ley teens Elizabeth and Michael Pratt.

The teens’ father spoke at the event, as Elizabeth is now living in Calgary and Michael was sick and unable to attend.

The guard of honour, MP Warawa, and other attendees marched to the site from a parking lot off Fraser Highway, led by piper Joe McDonald.

At the Walk to Remember, four trees have also been planted in commemora-tion of the four civilians (including Ms. Lang) who were killed as part of the Ca-nadian mission in Afghanistan.

Warawa noted in his remarks that Canada is very proud of all who took part in the Afghan mission, and despite many setbacks, Afghanistan has im-proved as a result of Canadians being there for so long. In particular, he cited how girls are now able to get an educa-tion in most parts of the country. Under the Taliban rule, girls were not allowed to attend school.

He said the Afghan mission, the lon-gest military engagement in Canadian history, will long be remembered in all parts of the country

TWO LANGLEY SOLDIERSPAID ULTIMATE PRICE



Under monsoon-like condi-tions, Langley’s Erin Kreiter met the off-duty police offi cers who have been volunteering their weekends to help her.

The offi cers from Burnaby, Delta and Langley braved the pouring rain on Sunday, May 4, to powerwash a private school in Surrey, with the proceeds go-ing to Kreiter — a 28-year-old woman whose career in science was interrupted when she was paralyzed by a rare neuromus-cular disorder.

“There’s even more offi cers jumping on board because they want to help too,” said re-tired Langley RCMP offi cer John Gould, whose company, Domin-ion Power Washing, is supplying the commercial-grade pressure washers for the “Friends 4 Erin” initiative. He came up with the idea to help the Kreiters after running into Erin and her father, a former colleague at the Lang-ley detachment.

But Erin had hoped to meet another person at the volunteer event.

In an unexpected turn of events, a man who stole $11,000 worth of Gould’s power washing equipment a few years ago while

Gould was undergoing a bone marrow transplant himself, was expected to volunteer his time to powerwash for Erin — as part

of his community service.Gould asked the judge sen-

A recipient of a donated bone marrow himself, John Gould, the owner of a Dominion Power Washing, is giving back by organizing a fund-raising drive to assist Langley’s Erin Kreiter.

tencing the 38-year-old, of no fi xed address, to release him on the condition he would do power-washing for Erin, rather than go to jail. The judge agreed and it was expected that he was to show up or go to jail. He is now facing immediate ar-rest, as he did not show up. With a lengthy crim-inal history, Gould was hoping this might be the change the guy needed.

“We had hoped, but it just isn’t going to happen for him,” said Gould.

Now Gould is back focused on helping Erin, and his weekends are fi lling up with work.

For $150, Langley residents (and only Langley residents) can arrange to have the off-duty of-fi cers powerwash outside commercial building sidewalks or parking lots — weekends only.

One hundred per cent raised will go to help Erin and her family, Gould said.

Since The Times featured this story a couple weeks ago, Gould said he has been “buried in work.”

“We will be doing this all summer — there is no end date,” he said. More than $1,000 was raised in one weekend of work, recently, he said.

Even after the record-breaking rainfall, a Burn-aby RCMP offi cer emailed his colleagues saying what a great experience it was to meet Erin and to help out, giving so little time of himself for so much return, said Gould.

Just over a year ago, after a sudden illness, the 28-year-old Kreiter was forced to give up working on cancer research at the University of Alberta.

She was diagnosed with Myasthenia gravis, which left her a quadriplegic confi ned to a wheel-chair, unable to breathe unassisted and requiring 24 hour care.

Gould is a friend of Kreiter’s father, Sgt. Tim Kreit-er, who is currently on leave from his job with the serious crime section to look after his daughter.

The main fl oor of the Kreiter family home in Langley has been renovated to add a wheel-chair-accessible bedroom and special bathroom, as well as wider hallways, doors and ramps, a bed lift and specialized bed.

Gould was given three years to live after he was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer.

Thanks to a bone marrow transplant from a 20-year-old donor from Germany, a grateful Gould is now in complete remission.

“I just want to pay it forward,” he said.More information about friends4erin can be

found online at dominionpowerwashing.com/friends4erin/ and cleanings can be booked on the website. If you want to make a donation to Erin, there is a Paypal account on the website.

The Langley man accused of trying to kill his estranged wife and two children by setting fi re to their Willoughby-area home last month made an appear-ance in Surrey Provincial Court on Monday.

Andre Harvey Richard faces three counts of attempted mur-der, as well as charges of arson, break and enter and breaching a restraining order.

In addition, he faces four counts of assault with a weap-on — involving two victims, each allegedly assaulted with two different weapons, and two counts each of assault causing bodily harm. He has remained behind bars since his arrest.

He makes his next court ap-pearance on May 27.

Richard is accused of going to his wife’s home around 1 a.m. on April 2 and setting fi re to it, before entering her bedroom and assaulting her with a pair of weapons. When the couple’s 14-year-old daughter tried to intervene, police say she was also assaulted.

The three victims managed to escape the burning home and fl ed to a neighbour’s house, where 911 was called. A man-hunt began. Richard was ar-rested in Fernie, B.C., near the Alberta border, more than 24 hours later.

At the time, police said they had been to the home several times for domestic violence.

Since this tragic situation, the community has come togeth-er to support the Cella family and gift cards and cash have

been coming into The Times of-fi ce and getting directly to the mother of two, confi rm friends of the family.

But donations of money would still be greatly appreciat-ed by the family who are start-ing out fresh on their own after losing everything, including the home they were living in.

The 14-year-old daughter, with help from her aunt, is busy creating a new support group to help others like her who have suffered through domestic vio-lence. She named it Healing Our Hurting Hearts and the peer-to-peer group should be up and running in Langley at the start of the school year.

An account at CIBC Willow-brook is accepting cash or cheques made out to Cella Fam-ily Trust.

The Independent Investiga-tions Offi ce (IIO) has sent a re-port to Crown Counsel in con-nection to an unmarked RCMP cruiser hitting a vehicle, seri-ously injuring one person.

IIO Chief Civilian Director Richard Rosenthal made the decision to forward the report to Crown to decide if charges should be laid in the crash that saw four people injured.

According to the RCMP, on June 23, 2013, at approximate-ly 2:01 a.m., offi cers in Langley were responding to a complaint and were travelling southbound

on 200 Street.The unmarked police vehicle

collided with a civilian vehicle that reportedly pulled out of Brydon Crescent, just north of 53 Avenue in Langley City.

The driver of the civilian ve-hicle suffered serious injuries and was transported to hospi-tal.

Two passengers as well as an RCMP offi cer were also taken to hospital with injuries.

The IIO was notifi ed at 2:53 a.m. and four IIO investigators were called in.

The 35-year-old driver re-mained in hospital with seri-ous injuries. But his 33-year-old

passenger was released from hospital a short time after the crash.

The offi cer involved was also treated in hospital and released.

The Chief Civilian Director does not make a recommenda-tion on whether charges should be approved or what charges Crown Counsel should consid-er.

In approving charges, the Criminal Justice Branch must be satisfi ed not only that an of-fence may have been commit-ted, but that the commission of an offence can be proven in court beyond a reasonable doubt.

After investigation, IIOforwards charges to Crown

So if you’re going to plant perennials this week why not plant the very best? Like Tony Soprano says, “The hardest part is digging the hole.”

Trinity Western University has announced it will take legal action against opponents of its new law school.

The Langley-based private Christian university issued a statement last Tuesday that it will be go-ing to court in B.C. Ontario, and Nova Scotia.

TWU said it will be seeking court orders over-turning decisions by the Law Society of Upper Canada (LSUC) and the Nova Scotia Barristers Society (NSBS) that would prevent Trinity law school graduates from practicing law in Ontario and Nova Scotia.

The university said it will also apply to present arguments in the B.C. court application by Toron-to lawyer Clayton Ruby to overturn the December 2013 approval of the law school by the B.C. gov-ernment.

At issue is a clause forbidding “sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman,” in the community cove-nant that all staff and students at the university are expected to abide by.

Critics say the clause is anti-gay and confl icts with a lawyer’s responsibility to uphold the rights and freedoms of all persons.

The TWU press release said the issue is one of religious freedom.

“The decisions in Ontario and Nova Scotia im-pact all people of faith across Canada,” said TWU President Bob Kuhn.

“Their conclusions must be challenged.”Kuhn, an Abbotsford lawyer, guided TWU in a

court battle over the same issue with the B.C. Col-lege of Teachers in 2001.

The case involved the College of Teachers’ re-fusal to allow the university to assume full re-sponsibility for its teacher training.

In an 8-1 ruling, the Supreme Court of Canada declared that that TWU “is a private institution that is exempted, in part, from the B.C. human rights legislation and to which the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not apply.”

“TWU is now being forced to re-litigate an is-sue that was decided in its favour,” Kuhn said last Tuesday.

TWU said it plans to open the new school of law in September of 2016.

Questionwe asked you:Last Week

Justin Trudeau promised, after being select-ed federal Liberal leader in 2013, that there would be open and democratic contests for Liberal nominations all across Canada. This was in contrast to previous Liberal leaders,

notably Jean Chretien, who decided to appoint candidates in numerous ridings, rather than let local Liberal mem-bers actually selecet the candidate they wished to repre-sent them.

It all sounded good. But when the rubber met the road, and candidates were actually being selected, the true facts about how candidates were chosen started to emerge.

In one Toronto riding, where a byelection has just been called, Trudeau barred the wife of the former MP in that riding from running — in that riding, and in any other. No reasons, other than the fact that Trudeau had a “star” candidate in mind, seemed apparent.

Last week, Trudeau announced that no one who opposed abortion would be allowed to seek a Liberal nomination across the country. This despite the fact that several cur-rent Liberal MPs are pro-life (they were grandfathered), and several former pro-life members had considered seeking nominations.

Trudeau declared that the matter of abortion is “settled,” despite the fact that there has been no abortion law since 1988 and an attempt to pass a new law, based on a Su-preme Court decision, died on a tie vote in the Senate in 1990. It’s “settled,” in that politicians won’t consider a new law. But the public aren’t quite as one-sided on the issue.

The Liberal Party supports abortion, and has endorsed it at a recent policy convention. However, personal be-liefs about abortion are often based on religious faith, and Trudeau in effect has said that people with that faith posi-tion are incomplete, and inadequate as candidates.

It is another troubling attack on freedom — and it’s com-ing from the son of the prime minister who brought in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which explicitly guaran-tees Canadians freedom of religion. Trudeau the Younger has shown that freedom is only selectively guaranteed by his party.

Apathy in the political process has reached an all-time high in recent years, with the per-ception that elected representatives are not really listening to public concerns.

But there was evidence last week that the provincial government is heeding public feedback, on two currently contentious issues at least.

An all-party committee of MLAs has unanimously sup-ported a proposal from Finance Minister Mike de Jong that henceforth all B.C. politicians will publish their expense receipts — including food, travel and accommodation — online.

The proposal, clearly a response to the fl ap over legis-lature Speaker Linda Reid’s expenses — including nearly $5,500 in business-class air travel for her spouse, since re-paid — elicited a few grumbles from NDP MLAs over the work involved in backing all expenses with receipts. But it seems MLAs overall agreed with de Jong’s assessment that steps need to be taken to restore public trust, after recent “unreasonable” expense abuses in B.C. and beyond.

Meanwhile Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has ap-parently taken note of written feedback from B.C. res-idents in amending the proposed Bill 24, which would make changes to the province’s Agricultural Land Reserve. The contentious two-zone provision remains, dividing ALR land into one area (Metro Vancouver, Vancouver Is-land and the Okanagan) where farmland would be pro-tected from non-agricultural development and another (essentially the rest of B.C.) where farmers might have options to invite in ‘value-added’ industries that could in-clude oil and gas development.

But there are indications that the impassioned words of many regarding both the need for food security in the province and a long-term commitment to preserving ag-ricultural land have been noted and refl ected in amend-ments.

Horgan has big job aheadJohn Horgan is the new leader of

the NDP.Unlike the situation in 2011,

when there was a hard-fought bat-tle for the NDP leadership, he won it by acclamation, and took over his new role on May 1.

The lack of competition for the job isn’t surprising. In 2011, it looked like quite a prize. The BC Liberals were in disarray, Gordon Campbell had resigned, and win-ning the premiership after 12 years in opposition looked like a cakewalk.

Even a year ago, during the election campaign, the polls said the NDP was far ahead. But on election day, the party lost — and quite decisively. Leader Adrian Dix pondered the situation for a short time, then announced he was stepping aside.

Horgan was one of the four contenders for the NDP leadership in 2011, and made a number of visits here in that campaign. I had the chance to speak with him several times, and was impressed by his breadth of knowledge and his generally upbeat personality.

He worked in senior positions in the NDP government of the 1990s, and he knows B.C. intimately. This is one of his big strengths. Unlike Dix, who is a Vancouver guy, Horgan knows the province and the differences between regions and commu-nities very well. The very fact that he rep-resents a Vancouver Island riding (not a downtown Victoria one) is a plus.

His understanding of what makes the B.C. economy work is much better than that of many NDPers. He has been the en-ergy and mines critic in the past, and both those issues are key to parts of B.C. outside the urban cores.

The fact that he is keeping an open mind on Kinder Morgan’s application to twin its pipeline is a signifi cant shift from Dix’s decision to oppose the project midway through the election campaign. That move

likely cost the NDP the election. It certainly had a demonstrable effect in handing seats to the BC Liberals, including Surrey-Fleetwood, won by former Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender by 200 votes.

I would also be surprised if Horgan would let an easterner run the NDP provincial campaign. Dix picked Bri-an Topp, who had run Jack Layton’s national campaign in 2011. However, Topp had already proved he knew little about B.C. when he ran for

the leadership after Layton’s death, and he made a number of crucial mistakes during last year’s provincial campaign.

I felt sorry for the many young people who were working on the two local cam-paigns last May. They put their hearts and souls into the campaign, only to be sand-bagged by provincial campaign decisions that were all over the map.

Dix is a very decent man and has fought hard for many people who have few speak-ing up for them. But he was not the best choice in the 2011 leadership race. Horgan likely was — and now he can prove to vot-ers that the NDP is a possible alternative.

He will have to show working people that he isn’t anti-jobs, he isn’t anti-resources and he isn’t in the pocket of big public sec-tor unions.

The NDP’s biggest handicap is that many voters do not believe it understands how the economy works. Certainly Dix’s com-ments on Kinder Morgan, which came af-ter he had said he would wait until there was an actual application in place, showed his willingness to court environmentalists at the expense of workers.

Its other big challenge is a deep divide between private sector workers and the diehard environmentalists who oppose logging, mining, power development, oil and gas and virtually anything that in-volves B.C. resources.

Horgan has his work cut out for him.

Time for a health assessment on coal trainsEditor: With respect to The Times article (April 22) “New rail

overpasses not enough, Township report warns,” it is incum-bent on all of us to be aware of several aspects of this issue.

1 - The general cost of overpasses is approximately $10 million, if no exits are involved. They are closer to $40 mil-lion with exits.

2 - Langley already has, as everyone knows, a lot of trains. (Editor’s note— About 14 to 16 per day).

3 - The proposal by Port Metro Vancouver re the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 project may double the number of trains, according to the article.

4 - Additionally, the trains already coming through Langley include a considerable number of coal trains, coming from the interior, carrying metallurgical (steel-making) coal.

5 - A proposal to bring U.S. thermal coal into our region to Fraser Surrey Docks is being considered by Port Metro Vancouver, which refuses to hold full public hearings or to conduct a full health impact assessment (HIA), supported by our regional health offi cers (Dr. Paul Van Buynder and Dr. Patricia Daly, and Dr. Perry Kendall).

6 - The most recent study on the same coal and trains which would come to Fraser Surrey Docks, over the health risks of thermal coal, was done in the U.S. (Professor Dan Jaffee, University of Washington) and it suggests that air quality and health implications of diesel and coal dust are potentially substantial, with no level considered accept-able, according to our medical health offi cers at Fraser and Vancouver health. See http://www.king5.com/news/envi-ronment/coal-trains-air-quality-study--230491511.html

7 - The issue is not about the importance of coal to our economy, even though actual jobs created from container or coal trains are quite small in number. Don’t we owe it to the communities and the health of their school children to at least have a proper HIA, before we approve more coal or container trains coming through the region?

Currently Fraser Surrey Docks is awaiting a decision by Port Metro Vancouver which will likely say yes. The docks want to ship U.S. thermal coal (for electricity in Asia, not

the same as Canadian metallurgical coal for steel). While jobs at the docks are good ones, the proposal would result in about 15 jobs.

U.S. laws require a full two- to three-year environmental review process for such proposals. We have no such laws here in Canada. The current federal government gutted them. Three U.S. coal export proposals along the U.S. Pa-cifi c Coast are currently awaiting this review. The closest just south of Blaine would see shipment of 49 million tons of coal per year, making it the largest in North America.

Langley Township council, several months ago, showed leadership in joining eight other local municipalities and six school boards, in supporting a call for the full HIA. Port Metro Vancouver and Fraser Surrey docks have been re-luctant to engage, fearing the results. They conducted an environmental review in November which was roundly criticized by our health offi cers for failing to properly as-sess health implications.

It strikes me that, for health let alone future environ-mental concerns, we at least should support such a full and independent assessment, which by law would have to be paid by the proponent before the coal shipment pro-posal goes ahead.

I know there will be many crying NIMBY and saying why do we need to support such an assessment, when we have not had one before? Plus, why should what happens in Fraser Surrey docks be of concern to us here?

Well, that is the same sort of argument which the tobac-co industry used in the 1960s. There are 100 Surrey, Delta, Burnaby, Richmond and New Westminster schools within the fi ve to seven-kilometre range of the coal dust and die-sel particulates. And there are approximately 30 schools within this range of the tracks in Langley.

As a parent, would it not be at least helpful to have an idea of what an assessment, albeit re Fraser Surrey Docks, suggests about health implications of coal trains? Our Langley council certainly thinks so.

How about MP Mark Warawa and our school board,

which, so far, thinks the effect of coal dust and diesel particulates to not be of signifi cant consequence for the health of school children to support the call for a full HIA? As a parent, I know I have lots of questions and, so far, not very many answers — which is why I support a full HIA before this decision is made.

We have many coal trains coming through here, would we not benefi t from knowing what an HIA says about health impacts (within 5-7 kms) of coal trains?

The sooner the better. All of us, kids and adults alike, deserve a proper health assessment before they go ahead with this, and our medical health professionals agree.

Trees need our protection Vigorous debate over tree-cuttingEditor: I understand that the newspaper needs to print both sides of any issue, but

the recent letter “Focus on property rights,” (The Times, April 22), frankly frightened me. Clearly there are many strictly enforced bylaws in place already, which restrict what an owner is allowed to do on their private property. These include the building codes, illegal activities, the amount of people, livestock and pets allowed, junk and chemical storage, garbage dumping and burning. It is certainly not a free-for-all sim-ply because you hold the mortgage.

Trees are essential to the life of the planet and desperately need our protection. They are not a crop which grows back yearly and is harvested and sold for con-sumption. As for the fi re threat, it is ridiculous to compare Kelowna to Langley. The environment and type of trees are completely different.

I beg council to do what’s right and implement a tree law with large fi nes and strict enforcement for all lot sizes, including acreage. In a perfect world no healthy, mature tree would ever face destruction. Can we not learn from past mistakes and leave a liveable environment for generations to come? Trees provide health benefi ts, shade, shelter, privacy, bird habitats (many, like owls, woodpeckers and other raptors need large trees) and of course, beauty.

Continued, Page 11

Editor: Lately I’m reminded of the old Joni Mitchell song, Big Yellow Taxi: “Don’t it al-ways seem to go, that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone? They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.”

As a candidate for Langley Township council in this fall’s municipal election, I fi nd my-self in the middle of a vigorous debate about tree cutting. On one side is a vocal and active group whose members are outraged at what they see as the rampant destruction of local trees by residential developers and other landowners. On the other side of the argument are a growing number of equally upset homeowners who see proposed restrictions on tree cutting as a threat to their fundamental rights.

Of course, there’s one thing we can all agree on, and that’s a shared, passionate interest in preserving the natural beauty of this great community. Luckily, past political leaders have respected that interest. Back in 1979, Township council adopted the Langley Offi cial Community Plan, which has evolved since then to include detailed development guide-lines and provisions for protecting wildlife habitat. For example, all new development proposals must include “tree protection plans that consist of tree retention, protection and replacement details acceptable to the Township.”

On private lands, protection of wildlife habitat “shall be encouraged through land stew-Continued, Page 11

Coal trains go through Langley daily, and there has been no health impact assessment on their effect. Reader Ste-ven Faraher-Amidon believes such an assessment would be warranted.

From Page 9 As the old song says, “don’t it always seem to

go, you don’t know what you got till its gone.” All of us crazy tree lobbyists need to keep up the fi ght more than ever, before one of the few remaining “tree paradises” to grace the Lower Mainland is gone forever.

C. SUE,LANGLEY

From Page 9ardship, education, incentives or other means.”

That’s as far as the policy goes, and where the current controversy begins. As our community continues to grow, we have fi nally reached a point where we need to consider “other means” to pro-tect the natural beauty we all value. It’s time for a new Township bylaw that lays out rules related to cutting trees.

I am not in favour of “pocket” bylaws, especially any that are created on the fl y. They are too im-portant and affect every resident. The Township of Langley is a large community and our coun-cil needs to create bylaws that are thoughtful, practical and concise, and are equally applied to everyone in the community, not just one neigh-bourhood.

I sympathize with residents who fear that large-scale tree removal threatens the unique character of their neighbourhoods and impacts their quality of life. I also agree with homeown-ers who want to extend a deck, build a shed or cut down a tree in their own yard without having to take out a permit or hire an arbourist before getting approval to do so.

Most of our surrounding cities and municipal-ities have tree bylaws, some more stringent than others. Our council needs to look to them as ex-amples and seek advice and input before creating the right bylaw for our community. We also have to make sure we have a sound, affordable process to enforce the bylaw in a way that’s consistent and fair.

No one wants to pave paradise. And no one needs poorly thought-out rules and senseless bureaucracy. The question is, how can we pro-tect the unique character of our neighbourhoods without placing an excessive burden on the peo-ple who live there?

For me, the answer is clear. We need to involve and engage our community in an informed, in-clusive, thorough discussion that leads to an ap-propriate tree bylaw for the Township of Langley. That bylaw, if it’s done right, will be a set of com-mon-sense rules that everyone can understand and abide by. I look forward to playing an active role in that process, and I encourage everyone who has a stake in the outcome to do the same.

ANGIE QUAALE,LANGLEY

Tree bylaw shouldbe ‘appropriate’

Keep up the fight

Langley kids firstEditor: While I feel for the Willougby parents

whose children do not have access to a school in their community and face a commute across town, I also think it’s time that the Langley school trustees begin to look at better utilization of Langley schools and not just ask for more money for new schools. Without question we need more seats for Langley students.

It’s high time to revisit some of the “designat-ed” or “choice” schools like the Langley Fine Arts School, which has a signifi cant student popula-tion from out of Langley School District. It could accommodate local high school students.

We feel for Willoughby as a growing number of resident Fort Langley children are on a “wait list” to attend the school right here in town. In the in-terim, they are bussed, at their parents’ expense, 40 minutes away to D.W. Poppy.

Designated schools in Langley School District are a luxury that our public school funds can no longer sustain, particularly when Langley stu-dents are denied fi rst access. A good start must involve focusing on Langley schools for Langley students.

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

A controversial pro-posal that will permit 67 residential lots on a 13.5 acre parcel of protected farmland within Lang-ley Township has been granted fi nal approval, but the project still has some hurdles to over-come.

The development of a portion of the 153-acre Wall property located at 22415 72 Ave. was approved by a 6-3 vote, after Councillor David Davis made a last at-tempt at talking the rest of council into turning it down.

“I can’t vote for this,” Davis said.

Davis and other crit-ics of the proposal have said building a subdivi-sion in the middle of farmland will set a precedent that will encourage developers to build on agricultural land.

“If you want to support agri-culture in the municipality of Langley, this [voting the Wall project down] is the fi rst step,” Davis said.

Davis had the support of Councillors Kim Richter and Michelle Sparrow.

The rest voted for the project.The approval by Township

council still leaves the project with legal and regulatory issues.

The regional Metro Vancouver authority is appealing a B.C. Su-

preme Court decision that said the Township had the right to approve the Wall project and a nearby university district, de-spite Metro opposition.

The Agricultural Land Com-mission (ALC), the provincial agency that regulates protected farmland, gave conditional ap-proval to the project on condi-tion that ALC concerns about downstream fl ooding have been addressed.

As well, the approval by the Township forbids construction until several conditions are met, including the fl ooding is-sue, road improvements and a legally binding commitment

has been obtained that guaran-tees no further residential de-velopment of the farm beyond the 67 lots.

Roughly a third of the site, where the Salmon River runs, will be transferred to the Town-ship for conservation purposes.

The developer has also agreed to build a trail connecting the proposed development across the Salmon River to Trinity Western University, where the Township has approved a sepa-rate university district of hous-ing and related commercial de-velopment on three properties at 7645 and 7679 Glover Road, and 22423 Labonte Crescent.

This is the proposed development on 13.5 acres of the 153-acre Wall farm, on the northern edge of the Hudson’s Bay farm lands.

With the mercury rising, now is the perfect time to think about renovating your home – especially before it gets too hot.

In the blink of an eye, the dog days of summer will be here, which will make it more enticing to work outside in the garden, instead of on any interior improvement projects for your abode.

And what better place to start than the one spot you probably do most of your entertaining – the kitchen. After all, the kitchen is the hub of the household; it’s where we spend the most time with family and guests.

For those looking to give their kitchen a fresh face lift for spring without breaking the bank, Cowry Kitchens in Langley has everything you need to make your home renovation dreams a reality.

The store, located at 19638 Fraser Highway,

provides the best quality kitchen and bathroom cabinets at the best prices in town.

Affordable prices, the highest quality products and excellent customer service is what puts Cowry Kitchen on the map and in the heart of every cus-tomer who walks through the front door.

“It’s all about building relation-ships with the community and our customers,” said Ally Bai, a sales associate at Cowry Kitchen, who is passionate about helping others create and design the kitchen of their dreams.

“I love what I do – there’s no better feeling than when the job is done and the customer calls to tell me they are very happy with their kitchen. It’s not just exciting for our

clients, it’s also thrilling for us!”

With the recent dip in housing prices, many homeowners are choosing to create their dream

home out of what they already have rather than put their house up for sale and risk losing their hard-earned money.

“The market has really changed out there so we see a lot of customers who are putting of selling and creating the kitchen of their dreams,” said Bai.

While a ‘new’ kitchen can seem like an over-whelming and costly project, it doesn’t have to be the case, she notes.

“The entire look can be changed with some-thing as simple as new countertops or kitchen cabinets –really, the sky is the limit, depending on your budget.”

Bai encourages anyone ready to update their kitchen to stop by the Langley showrooms today and speak to one of Cowry’s experienced design-ers for fi rst-rate advice on your fall kitchen proj-ect. Once you have chosen your product, Cowry will then arrange for a quick delivery and profes-sional installation to keep your project running on time. They keep a huge inventory of stock in their warehouse to ensure your products are

ready to go as soon as you place an order. All of their kitchen cabinets ship out within three busi-ness days.

Unsure of where to get started? Cowry’s expert kitchen designers will help you cook up some general ideas with the help of 3-D design software for use of space, location of appliances and stor-age priorities at no cost.

“All we need is your measurements and colour scheme – we can do the rest!” said Bai.

“We can design can design the whole thing when you come see us inside.”

Bai is also happy to swing by your home to give homeowners some ideas and an estimate.

“I was just out in Aldergrove yesterday after work to chat with a client about their vision,” she said. “We decided on what kind of countertop would best go with their white shaker cabinets from us. The one we chose is going to look stun-ning when paired with their fl ooring, walls and cabinets.”

BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

An article of clothing says as much about the time it was worn as it does about the woman who wore it.

In the early decades of the 20th century, for example, contempo-rary architectural design and cur-rent events worked their way into the fabric and cuts of clothing worn by the most fashionable women on Canada’s west coast.

From classic evening gowns to day wear, coats, quirky purses and shoes, visitors to the Langley Cen-tennial Museum are invited to step into a sartorial time machine until Aug. 4, as Vancouver fashion histo-rians Ivan Sayers and Claus Jahnke exhibit some of their most iconic pieces, in Art Deco Chic: Women’s Fashion of the 1920s & 1930s.

The exhibit, which opened on May 10 in the museum’s gallery at 9135 King St. in Fort Langley, includes 35 principal garments, pooled from the men’s respective collections, along with a number of accessories which were popular during the Roaring ’20s and Dirty ’30s.

On June 1, Sayers will augment the exhibit with a pair of Art Deco Fash-ion Shows, presented at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the Fort Langley Community Hall.

During the shows, Sayers will offer not only examples of period cloth-ing, but plenty of humorous insight into what was happening in society at the time that dictated what wom-en chose to wear.

In fashion as in architecture, the Art Deco movement reduced the body to its simplest geometric form — a column, or when represented in two dimensions, a fl at rectangle.

Figures that had been exaggerated with corsets and padding at the turn of the century were now hidden un-der loose-fi tting, sack-like garments in the chemise style in the 1920s.

Among the examples from the era included in the museum exhibit is a lemon yellow, knee-length sleeve-less dress, with a fringed skirt. The fabric of the skirt’s layers is cut into dozens of rectanglar strips, with each piece meticulously covered in glass beads.

In order to display the dress, sup-port tape was sewn in to hold the weight of the beading in the skirt. Without the straps, the shoulder seams would eventually give way, explained Sayers.

While no doubt cumbersome to wear, the heavily weighted skirts were designed for maximum swing, as young fl appers danced their way across the fl oor to the Charleston and the Lindy Hop.

Within the beadwork of many of the fanciest dresses in the show is an unmistakable homage to the ar-chitecture of the time, with patterns

that are reminiscent of Vancouver’s Marine Building and New York’s famed Empire State building.

Through the 1920s, dresses gradu-ally became closer fi tting and hem-lines rose. Although the fi gure was still virtually invisible, the exposure of the legs added a provocative ele-ment to clothing that was otherwise asexual.

In the 1930s the natural fi gure re-emerged, but in fashions that echoed the repeated geometry of the Art Deco style.

Among the pieces on display from the early ‘30s, is an orange suit worn by an American woman who was studying astronomy in Vienna. She kept it because it was what she was wearing the day she met Albert Einstein.

Another of the stars of the show is a black knee-length 1928 Chanel that was featured in both British and German Vogue.

It was even used as the image on greeting cards.

When it comes to Chanel, there are knockoffs — and knockoffs of knockoffs — out there, said Jahnke. But the one on display is the real thing.

It goes without saying, it won’t be in the fashion show.

“We’d never show this on a human. It’s too valuable and too fragile,” said Jahnke.

While most of the pieces were found in the collections of Vancou-ver and Victoria women, one of the articles in the exhibit has a local connection.

A burgundy wool coat with black fur trim, from the 1930s, belonged to an Aldergrove woman whose father repaired watches for Birks.

It’s unusual to fi nd a daytime coat in coloured material worn during the Depression, he said, because neutral shades which could be worn anywhere and with anything were favoured.

When it comes to the garments, though many of them are striking to look at, it’s the stories that are often the most interesting part, said Jahn-ke.

“For most people who collect, it is ‘how do I look in this and how does it fi t?’

“For us, it’s the history that brings it to life.”

It’s free, painless, and the smallest amount can make a world of difference.

It’s kindness — and Pat Wei-belzahl of You’ve Gotta Have Friends, is hoping that Langley residents will give generously this month.

YGHF will host a ‘Kindness Connects’ week, from May 26-30, but the organization’s goal is that the sentiment will con-tinue throughout the rest of the year.

“(Kindness) feels good for everyone and it’s the fi rst step toward friendship,” said Wei-belzahl, co-coordinator of the non-profi t community-based organization that looks for op-portunities to promote connec-tions and inclusion within the Langleys.

“This year, our focus is on heightening the awareness of how kindness connects peo-ple and encourages a stronger sense of inclusion and belong-ing in our community.”

Along with her colleague, Janice McTaggart, Weibelzahl joined YGHF eight years ago. In that time, she’s met numerous people who are isolated and without connections in the community.

It might be that they are new in town, recently divorced, ag-ing or perhaps they’ve had an accident.

“Their supports fall away and it’s diffi cult to connect,” she said.

A lot of the people who come to YGHF events have develop-mental disabilities, noted Wei-belzahl.

“That’s a whole other ball game. They may have a caregiv-er and family, but no friends.”

Working under the auspic-es of the Langley Association for Community Living, YGHF is funded through the Unit-ed Way, community grants and private donations.

Each Wednesday and Fri-day, YGHF opens its doors in McBurney Lane from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. People are invited to stop by for a visit and maybe meet some potential new friends.

“It gets loud and rowdy in here,” chuckled Weibelzahl.

“We like to have fun. It’s part of our actual mandate.”

YGHF also offers a full calen-dar of events each month.

Community members are in-vited to take part in a supper club, a book club, group break-fasts, youth gatherings and a men’s group, to name just a few opportunities.

The agency also organizes social outings. A visit to a quilt show and the bloom market are among the events scheduled for May.

Weibelzahl wants to see You’ve Gotta Have Friends’ spirit of inclusivity, coupled with genuine good will, spread throughout the wider commu-nity.

During Kindness Connects

week, they will be at local busi-nesses, giving away stickers and raising awareness.

“We hope to have up to 20 organizations/businesses on board where we will spend an hour or two greeting people and

handing out stickers,” Weibelzahl said.

“We’ll approach business and

ask them to allow us to be there and spread awareness.

“It’s pretty simple actually,” she

said.“We want to

get people to be mindful. It doesn’t

cost anything to be kind.”

The week’s events will wrap up with a dance in McBurney Plaza, featuring live music from The Timewalkers, on Friday evening, May 30, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

During Kindness Connects week, YGHF and the Langley Times are inviting members of the public to share their own true stories about acts of kind-ness by writing a letter.

Letters can be dropped off at the You’ve Gotta Have Friends offi ce, located at 20510 Fra-ser Hwy. in McBurney Lane, or emailed to [email protected]. Please tag the letters “Kindness Connects.”

They will be published in the Langley Times print edition and posted on the newspaper’s web-site and Facebook page during Kindness Connects week.

Kindness Connects Week will wrap up on Friday, May 30 with a concert by The Timewalkers, who will perform many great pop and rock classics from the ’60s and ’70s, with vocal harmonies and acoustic guitar playing ‘to die for, alongside amazingly unique originals, all done with a good dollop of humour and banter.’ The dance will begin in McBurney Lane at 6 p.m. and go until 8 p.m. Everyone is welcome.

Seeds, they’re at the root of everything we grow and eat.

The BC Farm Museum pres-ents a new exhibition exploring the vital link seeds have played in agriculture and pioneer life in Langley, and beyond: from

vegetable farming, to grain growing, to raising livestock.

It explores how seeds have historically been bred, harvested, and processed, and how this past affects the pres-ent.

The exhibit runs until Oct. 13 at the farm museum 9131 King St.

The BC Farm Museum is open seven days per week, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visit them online at bcf-ma.com for more information.

Langley Community Music School’s (LCMS) Fiddlers and back-up band Dan Ross, guitar, Tim Stac-ey, bass, and Mike Michalkow, drums are in concert in the Rose Gellert Hall on May 14 at 7 p.m.

“Come celebrate the violin’s cous-in, the fi ddle with the LCMS Fid-dlers,” said Andrea Taylor, LCMS fac-ulty member and leader of the LCMS Fiddlers.

“They will be reeling and jigging their way through a selection of Old Time, Celtic, Country and Slavic mu-sic.”

Taylor is the LCMS fi ddle instructor. She can also be seen occasionally at Vancouver Canucks hockey games, performing as their offi cial fi ddler.

Admission is by donation. The Rose Gellert Hall is located at 4899 207 St.

For Molly’s fi rst ballet class I was a little ill prepared — a fact I didn’t really realize until I took a seat next to the other moms and dads.

While all of the other little girls sported beautiful perky tu-tus, brand new tights and ador-able silk slippers, my little munchkin stuck out like a sore thumb.

Chunky pink boots, loose-fi tting purple leggings, tutu from too-too long ago and a rock t-shirt weren’t ex-actly prima balleri-na attire.

In my defense, both Molly and her sister were sick leading up until the start of her class — wild hors-es couldn’t drag my butt to the store with two cranky kids.

Luckily, Molls couldn’t care less about not being in the proper garb, nor did her new gal pals.

She rocked her outfi t loud and proud as she pirouetted, point-ed her wee toes and pranced around the room. I had never felt more proud to watch my tiny dancer be so uninhibited, so free.

At that moment I wished for her to always be so content with being different.

Had I learned to do so at her age, I’m sure it would have saved a lot of heartache over the years.

I’ll be the fi rst to admit that I’m defi nitely a different duck — a fact my mother discovered when I was just a wee babe.

It was while feeding me a bot-

tle that my mom noticed some-thing wasn’t quite right with her darling daughter.

I was only two months old, but I seemed to have mastered the art of winking. Could it be?

The pediatrician shattered any notions my mom might

have had about having a baby genius by breaking the news: I had Marcus Gunn Jaw Wink-ing Synkinsesis (MGJWS), also known as Jaw Wink — a very rare condition caused by the congenital mis-wiring of nerves.

Every single time I eat or chew a piece of gum, my left eye be-gins to twitch quite noticeably.

Apparently, only a few thou-sand people have been diag-nosed with this eye-opening dilemma (pun not intended) — I am one of the few faulty-gene lottery winners. Who says I don’t win anything?

Yes, it could be worse — much worse. However, try telling that to a kid who has to brave the playground.

As a youngster, it was some-thing I was pretty insecure about.

There’s nothing like having 20

pairs of eyes glued to your face as you bite into a sandwich. My little dancing peeper has proved entertaining for many prying eyes over the years.

To this day, I still feel awkward eating with people I don’t know very well. Heaven forbid I bite into a big juicy burger — my eye

goes mad for burg-ers.

I discovered that to correct the prob-lem, a surgeon would have to make a small cut in my skull and operate close to the brain stem. It would also fall under the cos-metic category, which meant hav-ing to shell out big

bucks to correct the problem.Rather than have my head

hacked at like an Easter ham, I’ve just decided to live with it and get over myself.

Throughout the years, I ac-tually learned to embrace my eye twitch and found it can be a great party trick as well as an ice breaker at job interviews.

Friends and family members tell me they don’t even notice it anymore — that it’s just some-thing they’ve gotten used to over the years.

More than just a cheap trick, I know my eye can be used as a parenting tool — a way of show-ing my two beautiful baby girls that they can stand out from the crowd and still be A-OK.

Dawn Aitken would like to take you on a musical journey.

The Langley singer will present an evening of eclectic, smooth jazz on Friday, May 16 at Porter’s Bistro and Coffee House in Mur-rayville.

Aitken, who moved to Langley two years ago, will be joined by Bill Sample on piano, Rene Worst on bass and Buff Allen on drums.

Like the selections on her independent jazz CD, Be Cool, Ait-ken’s Murrayville per-formance will offer a mix of styles, said the singer.

“I’m a horse of a dif-ferent colour. I don’t really fi t in to any par-ticular category.”

From The Nearness of You to Love Potion #9 and Somewhere over the Rainbow, Be Cool con-tains a dozen tunes, all performed in Aitken’s sultry and unhurried style.

Discussing the disc’s fi rst track, “The Near-ness Of You” Jazz Re-view’s John Gilbert described the piece as

“languid in form and hot in substance.

“Aitken wrings the bottom out of the notes on this ballad. She spins the lyrics beau-tifully and the melody is artfully adhered to with a few twists and turns that only add to the sensitivity of this sweet tune, wrote Gil-bert.

Be Cool was produced in B.C. in the early 2000s, with some of the top players in the Van-couver area and was touted as a strong fi rst effort for an indepen-

dent artist, said Aitken, who will sell copies of the disc at her Porter’s performance.

The concert marks a return to the stage af-ter a long hiatus.

“The demands of raising a child alone made continuing with my career here in B.C. very diffi cult and I had to step away for a few years,” said Aiken, now happily remarried and a grandmother of two.

“But it is my sincere hope that I will have the opportunity to pick up where I left off.”

After putting out a few feelers in the area and fi nding little suc-cess, Aitken fi nally managed to convince the bistro owner to take a chance on her.

“It took me a while to get in there,” she said. “I wandered in and hassled him for about a year.

But the singer is ex-cited at the prospect of performing for the Langley audience.

“It’s the fi rst step on the road to getting back to music,” she said.

“I love to sing and I’m pretty good at it.

“It’s going to be a good night and I’d like to invite Langley to come out and enjoy it.”

Tom Spencer never envisioned he would one day wind up be-hind the bench.

But with his playing days done and wanting to stay involved in the game, Spencer found himself behind the bench.

Spencer had moved west to B.C. from Ontario after graduat-ing from Brock University and fi gured coaching was also a good way for him to network and meet new people.

“I loved the game and wanted to give back so I thought I would give coaching a try,” he said.

“I got into it and didn’t realize the intensity and the gratifi ca-tion you get with teaching and watching the kids develop and succeed and fail, and the resil-iency in them,” he said.

“It became quite addicting.”Spencer got his start coach-

ing at the minor hockey midget level as an assistant fi rst with Burnaby, and then the Burnaby Winter Club. He landed his fi rst head coaching gig with the Lang-ley Minor Hockey Association and turned that into running the Valley West Hawks of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League. He was also an assistant coach in the league with the Fraser Valley

Bruins before that.And he has proven quite adept

at it, being named the BCMML coach of the year on May 7.

“As a coach you defi nitely don’t set out to win individual awards,” Spencer admitted.

“I got caught off-guard; I had no idea.”

The 35-year-old has been be-hind the bench of the Valley West Hawks — which is comprised of 15 to 17-year-olds from Langley, Cloverdale, White Rock and Sur-rey — for the past three seasons.

This past season, the Hawks were third in the 11-team league with a record of 27-11-2.

A project manager for a com-mercial fl ooring company for his day job, Spencer has his eyes on moving up the coaching ranks.

With that in mind, he is on the move, leaving the Hawks after landing another coaching gig as an assistant with the BCHL’s Sur-rey Eagles for the 2014/15 season.

He will assist Eagles coach/general manager Peter Schaefer behind the bench.

Spencer said he is a big fan of the sports psychology side of the game.

“Players now are so well versed and well trained, there is not a lot of difference between the top players, the top teams,” he ex-

plained. “It is how you mentally devel-

op and mentally coach players to overcome adversity.”

The coach said he has changed his demeanor over the years, but not his philosophy.

“Over the years, I have become a lot more calm on the bench,” Spencer said.

“In my early 20s, I was defi -nitely a lot more fi ery behind the bench but I realized that isn’t go-ing to get you very far.

“I am not hell-bent by my ways, I will change and adapt as the game is being played”

One thing that hasn’t changed is his coaching philosophy as Spencer likes an uptempo at-tacking style — much like how he played.

“We may give up a lot of goals, but we have always been in the top three in goals scored,” Spen-cer said.

•••A zone boundary change

means Langley Minor Hockey As-sociation players heading to the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League will soar with the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds instead of the Val-ley West Hawks.

The move was announced on May 8 for the 2014/15 season.

“These changes were made to

enhance the opportunities for more elite players to compete in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League,” said MML managing di-rector Joe Downing.

Previously, LMHA players were in the same zone as those from Surrey, White Rock and Clover-dale. But now, they will join play-

ers from Abbotsford, Mission, Al-dergrove and Chilliwack.

The MML is broken into 11 geo-graphical zones from across the province with teams playing a 40-game regular season sched-ule.

The midget level is for players between the ages of 15 and 17.

The senior boys squad made the tournament and placed 16th in 2013. The result is not sur-prising, considering that when the group fi rst got together in Grade 9, only two players had played the game before.

“We were literally years behind many of the schools we were competing against,” said Mike Munsie, who coaches the team alongside Kyle Barry.

“The hard work, dedication and love of the game that they have shown has allowed them to become a successful team despite that barrier.”

The Redhawks booked a return ticket to provin-cials — the opening round is May 24 at various locations before switching to Abbotsford’s Exhibi-tion Park May 29-31 — after a 24-0 semifi nal vic-tory over the Southridge Storm last week (May 8) in the Fraser Valley semifi nals.

Matt Theodore — who was named to the Com-missioner’s XV at provincials last year — scored a pair of tries in the victory, while Gino Paolella and Nick Vandergoes had one each.

R.E. Mountain Eagles’ Jaxxen Ellery sprints away from the pack during his team’s 69-17 victory over the Chief Dan George Wolves last week (May 6) at Willoughby Commu-nity Park. The victory allowed Mountain to capture the Upper Fra-ser Valley tier 2 Grade 8 boys rugby title. The team now begins play at the Fraser Valley cham-pionships on Thursday as the top seed.


The BC Aquasonics Senior Team won the Canadian Open synchronized swimming championships, beating their nearest competitor by a full 2.6 points.

The competition was held on May 3 in Saskatoon.

The Aquasonics senior team scored 74.5667 to win gold with their routine “Atlantis,” ahead of silver medalists Syn-chro Elite de Quebec and Les Vestales who placed third.

“We just won the nation-al championships by a land-slide,” said Aquasonics head coach Susan Kemper.

“In this sport, it can be just hundredths of a point that separate competitors.

“Not today. This team showed up for work and brought home gold.”

The BC Aquasonics senior team members are: Mack-enzy Higgins (White Rock), Alexia Iten (Anmore), Emilie

Sadler (Langley), Anna Seiler (Surrey), Madyson Stickley (Surrey), Alanna Stobbe (Ab-botsford), Amy Whitton (Al-dergrove) and Erin Williams (Surrey).

Earlier this week, Olivia Za-wadiuk of Coquitlam won bronze in the senior technical solo event and fifth place in senior free solo. The Aquason-ics junior team also had a Top 10 finish, placing ninth in the junior free event.

Paolella also picked up his team’s Golden Hammer award for the biggest tackle.

Poppy, which is ranked seventh in the province, plays the fi fth-ranked G.W. Gra-ham Grizzlies of Chil-liwack in the Fraser Valley fi nal tomorrow (Wednesday).

“Last year’s provin-cials was a learning experience for both the players and coach-es,” said Barry. “The players had a chance to see and play against the elite teams in the province and learned where they needed to get to if they wanted to challenge for top spot.”

The goal this year is at least a top eight fi n-ish.

Last year taught the program that depth was essential to com-pete, especially with injuries.

“It takes more than just the 15 starting players on the fi eld,” Munsie said.

“Last year we did not have a very deep team

and really struggled to compete when we had some key inju-ries (so) our goal this year was to develop

all 26 players on the roster and give them all meaningful game time throughout the season.

“Our depth this year has allowed us to rest players at key posi-tions and stay healthy all season long.”

Pastor Wes Dahl reck-ons he’s performed marriage ceremonies for 50 couples in his career but on Mon-day evening last week (May 5) he pitched his fi rst-ever connubial bliss home run.

More than a hundred guests, many of them wearing baseball uniforms, sat in the bleachers on an Aldergrove baseball diamond infi eld for the baseball-themed exchange of vows of Barb Andrews and Bruce Taylor.

Prior to the ceremony the couple had posed for offi cial wedding pictures while wielding bats in the ball diamond. The dugout had been decorated with curtains and bows, the home base had a heart placed atop it and the table for signing the marriage documents was made of baseball bat legs.

To top it off, the groom had cut a base-ball in half, placed the wedding bands in-side it and taped it up so that the wedding party could throw the ball around the fi eld before the couple opened it up and placed the rings on each others’ hands.

The couple, who fi rst met seven years ago at a Cinco de Mayo “Boogie for Books” fundraising dance for Aldergrove’s Betty Gilbert school, are obviously baseball fanatics. It is the second marriage for both of them and they had both brought their four, now-grown children up with a love

for the game as well.Bruce also served as

the school’s Parents Advisory Council president at the time when he fi rst met Barb, and the couple continues to be active members of, and contributors to, the community’s events — especially baseball.

Giving back to their community is im-portant to Bruce and Barb. They have vol-unteered countless hours on numerous community projects, not the least of which is Aldergrove Minor Baseball. Whether it is holding a position on the executive board, coaching, umpiring, spending pre-sea-son time on fi eld maintenance, preparing fi elds pre-games or simply cheering on

teams, there is a good chance you’ll fi nd one or the other at the fi eld.

This spirit may explain why their wed-ding didn’t get rained out, as the skies opened up with a brilliant sun just before the ceremony.

Pastor Dahl expressed it well, drawing on both Biblical scripture and pithy base-ball aphorisms in his words to the couple.

He quoted baseball great Mickey Mantle, who once said, “The older I get, the better

I was” to hearty laughs from the couple and guests, as well as a quote from Prov-erbs.

“Let love and faithfulness never leave you; wear it like a necklace around your neck, write it on the tablet of your heart.”

And with that the couple boarded a golf cart which had a dozen baseballs tied to the bumper and were driven off, smiling and waving, to the reception at the nearby community centre.

The Flip City Cheer team capped off their season with the gold medal at the Okanagan cheerleading competition in Kelowna on May 3.

There was no rookie learn-ing curve for a group of Lang-ley cheerleaders.

The Flip City Cheer team capped off a great season with a first-place finish in their di-vision at the Okanagan cheer-leading championships in Kelowna on May 3.

And not only did the team win their age division, but they were the grand champi-on in their overall level and had the highest score of any age group.

“A very successful season,” said Lauren Atkinson, the Flip

City cheer program co-ordina-tor.

“For a lot of them, it was their first year doing cheer-leading so for them to place as well as they did, you can’t re-ally ask for more as a coach.”

The youth level 1 (U11) team entered six competitions over the course of the season and finished with three gold med-als and a pair of silvers to show for their efforts.

The team of 17 girls ranges in age from 8 to 11.

They are coached by Nikole Davie and Kelsey Eriksen.

Flip City will be hosting a cheer open house on Saturday

May 31 at their Walnut Grove facility (4-20279 97 Ave.).

It runs from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.The event will include

demonstrations from the cur-rent cheer team, a chance for kids ages four to 10 to learn a mini-cheer dance, learn more information about the pro-gram, and a chance to ask the coaches specific questions any parents may have about the program.

There will also be a chance to sign up for summer train-ing and next season’s compet-itive team.

The season runs from Sep-tember to May.

Barb Andrews and Bruce Taylor used the ball diamond at Aldergrove Athletic Park as their wedding venue on May 5 to tie the knot. Both are heavily involved in volunteering in the community, especially with the Aldergrove Minor Baseball Association.
