‘Landfi ll’ lawsuit dismissed

ALDERGROVE STAR

By KURT LANGMANNAldergrove Star

Th e B.C. Supreme Court has dismissed a multi-million dollar defamation lawsuit against Langley residents who had spoken up about their concerns over a large landfi ll application in Alder-grove.

In a decision handed down May 25 the Honourable Madam Justice Bruce dismissed all claims made by Robin Scory against the Glen Valley Watershed Society (GVWS) and Sian Krannitz. Th e case was heard May 3 in B.C. Supreme Court in Chilliwack.

Scory had launched the suit aft er applying to deposit a large amount of fi ll on his land at 7306 - 264 Street. He had made a claim for $5.5 million against each of GVWS and Kranntiz, as well as $2 million claim against Jack Dewitt e.

Dewitt e’s argument for dismissal was heard separately and a judgment has not yet been issued in his case.

Concerned the proposed fi ll would erode into fi sh-bearing streams, Krannitz and GVWS spokesperson Joan Martin voiced their reservations to various levels of government last year.

When the project was put on hold by the Township of Lang-ley for further review, Scory sued GVWS and two citizens for speaking out against the project, claiming they had, among other things, defamed him.

Th e ruling states that the judge found no evidence to back the lawsuit, adding that the “claimant has greatly exaggerated the statements made by the respondents and has fabricated other al-legations concerning their conduct and statements.”

GVWS was represented by Ecojustice lawyers Tim Leadem and Jennifer Agnolin, who said in a joint statement that the ruling “confi rms the public’s right to speak up when the environment is put in jeopardy.”

“Th is case is a clear statement that meritless lawsuits against people who speak up for the environment will not stand,” said Agnolin.

“Citizens are the best keepers of their local environment,” Agno-lin said. “Th ey have the right to freely to speak up about projects they think will harm their environment without fear of being sued. Th is decision protects that right.”

In her ruling Madam Bruce said, “...it was not the acts of the respondents that prevented the claimant from creating farmland out of his property. Th e decision to issue a permit for the fi ll de-posit rested with the Township of Langley and the Agricultural

An Aldergrove man was found dead in an off -road vehicle accident last week.

On Monday, May 23, at approximately 6:20 p.m. Mission RCMP responded to a possible fatality on Sylvester Road in Mission.

Approximately 4 kms up the gravel portion of the road, a group of individuals visiting the area located an ATV mid‐span on a bridge over a creek. Th e male who

had been driving the ATV was located under the bridge and in the creek.

Th e deceased male, later identifi ed as a 38-year-old Aldergrove resident, had made a day trip with friends to the area, a popular spot for outdoor recreation. He had travelled away from the group of friends and appeared to have lost control as he approached the bridge.

As outdoor recreation increases over the coming summer months Mission

RCMP urge individuals engaging in these sports to take extreme caution. Get trained by a qualifi ed ATV instructor and practice safe riding techniques at all times.

Th e knowledge of proper techniques is crucial when maintain control on hills, rough terrain and in turns. Wear the approved helmet and riding gear and drive an ATV within the limits of your driving ability. Never drive while under the infl u-ence of alcohol.

Land Commission. Th e respondents could not prevent these government bodies from issuing a permit to the claimant if he satisfi ed all of their requirements. Th e respondents merely exercised their right of free speech to voice objections to the proposal. Th ere was nothing objectionable or unlawful about their conduct in this regard.”

Th e judge concluded that, “Th e claimant’s notice of claim must therefore be dismissed with costs to the re-spondents.”

However, Agnolin told Th e Star Th ursday that Scory fi led an appeal of the judgment on the same day it was issued, and the respondents now have to await a decision on this application.

Scory has also fi led a suit in B.C. Supreme Court in Van-couver claiming “unreasonable delays and unnecessary expenses” regarding his landfi ll application by Langley Township and two municipal employees, the Union of B.C. Municipalities, the provincial Ministry of Envi-ronment and the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

In April a Vancouver judge dismissed the lawsuit against the Ministry of Environment and ordered Scory to pay $250 towards costs.

Th e other defendants have also applied to have the law-suit dismissed.

SUBMITTED PHOTOLynn Fripps’ surviving family, Simon vander Goes and children Benjamin, Nicholas and Adam, and Langley Township council announced the creation of Lynn Fripps Park adjacent to the new school that will bear her name in north Langley.

Aldergrove Star

A woman whose energy and enthusiasm had an enormous eff ect on her community will be remembered through not only a school, but also a new park that will bear her name.

Township of Langley Council announced May 30 that a park being built in Willoughby will be named Lynn Fripps Park. Th e park, located on 83 Avenue in northeast Yorkson, will be adjacent to the new Lynn Fripps Elementary School.

“Lynn was an outstand-ing community volunteer who was dedicated to helping those around her,” said Township of Langley Mayor Rick Green.

“She had a huge eff ect on everything she got involved with.

Lynn was always an optimist, always eager to seize the day, and council agreed that naming the park in her honour was a fi tt ing way to commemorate a woman who made a huge impact on our community.”

Township Council invited Lynn’s husband Simon vander Goes and their three sons, Benjamin, Nicholas, and Adam, to its Monday evening meeting to hear the news about the park’s name.

Council announced that it would be advancing funding for the park and moving forward with its development this year.

Lynn Fripps Park will open in September 2012 in conjunction with the adjacent elementary school.

Fripps, who succumbed to breast cancer in 2005, was determined to help all of the Township’s communities – and the people who live in them – thrive.

She coached swimming, was passionate about environmental protection, promoted breastfeed-ing education, and was involved in her children’s school and with local sports teams.

Fripps was a member of the Aldergrove Community Enhancement Society, the Aldergrove Revitalization Committ ee, the Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society, and was instrumental in forming Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services.

Having batt led cancer for sev-

eral years, she started the Shower of Th anks Campaign which encouraged those with the dis-ease to send thank you cards to cancer researchers.

Lynn Fripps Park will include two soccer fi elds and a casual use soft ball diamond.

A children’s playground has already been built at the south end of the park site, and the park will share hard court surfaces for sports such as basketball with Lynn Fripps Elementary.

Exterior access washrooms and suffi cient parking that can be used by park visitors will also be constructed at the school, as part of a joint use partnership has been established between the Township and the Langley School District.

A woman was airlift ed to hospital aft er she fl ipped her car into a ditch in the 3700 block of Lefeuvre Road in West Abbotsford just before noon last Tuesday, May 24.

At the time, Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said details are still sketchy, but the woman was the lone

occupant in a Toyota Corolla that either collided with a tractor or tried to pass it and lost control.

Th e car fl ipped on to its roof and landed in a ditch. Th e woman was con-scious when emergency crews arrived.

“She was speaking, but the extent of her injuries is unknown,” MacDonald said.

A 20-year-old male driver and two 16-year-old passengers were injured when a 1993 Nissan Sentra went off the road in the 700-block of 232 Street on May 27, around 4:30 p.m. and burst into fl ames.

One passenger had to transported by he-licopter to hospital.

Injuries to the other passenger and the driver were described as minor by police.

Police said the Nissan Sentra was south-bound on 232 Street and drove off the left (east) side of the road.

Th e vehicle became partially airborne and careened off one tree, broke a second tree and came to rest on the passenger side wrapped around two other trees.

Th e three occupants escaped before the Nissan became engulfed in fl ame.

Speeding is believed to be a factor.

Family-friendly parks, lush open spaces, and natural resourc-es that are being enhanced and protected for the future can be found in abundance in the Township of Langley.

And according to the BC Recreation and Parks Association, they are among the best in the province.

On May 13, the BCRPA presented the Township with a Parks and Open Spaces Award for Willoughby Community Park and an Environmental Leadership Award for its urban gardens.

Th e BCRPA’s provincial awards recognize outstanding programs, innovative facilities, and dedicated professionals who are an inspiration to their profes-sion and to the parks, culture, and recreation movement in BC and nationwide.

“It’s great to be recognized provincially for the quality of the parks and open spaces that we are building here in the Township of Langley,” said Manager of Parks Design and Development Al Neufeld.

“Th e open space that we designed and constructed at Willoughby Community Park is accessible and used by people of

all ages, and represents a great return on the investment that Council made into developing this park facility.”

Willoughby Community Park, which opened next to the Langley Events Centre at 80 Avenue and 200 Street two years ago, was honoured for the innovation, creativity, and fore-thought shown in its planning, design, and development.

When creating the park, plan-ners had two issues to deal with: the proximity of the Latimer Creek watershed and the need to deal with water runoff .

Rather than simply put in the usual detention pond, they incorporated native trees, plants, and shrubs and developed two rain gardens to fi lter away run-off water, add visual appeal, and pro-vide wildlife habitat.

In keeping with the nature-inspired design, many park fea-tures incorporate a wood theme, including a tree-house play-ground, a forest-themed spray park, and wood textures stamped into the concrete. Willoughby Community Park is currently in its fourth phase of development, with more park features to be added in future years.

Th e park inventory currently includes three artifi cial turf

sports fi elds, one rugby/soccer fi eld, one combination soft ball/soccer fi eld, four sand volleyball courts, four indoor tennis courts, a mountain bike park, and an amphitheatre.

In the next few years, a picnic shelter, a South Field House, and bocce courts will be added.

“Th is truly has become a des-tination park and a jewel in our park inventory,” said Director of Recreation, Culture, and Parks David Leavers.

Dedication to environmental stewardship and the preserva-tion of nature off ered through its urban gardens and public pro-grams also earned an award for the Township and the Langley Environmental Partners Society.

“We are so pleased that the Township of Langley was acknowledged for its environ-mental leadership,” said LEPS Executive Director Nichole Marples, who is happy the Langley Demonstration Garden and community gardens throughout the community were recognized for the services they provide.

“Th ese projects raise aware-ness and foster appreciation of the natural environment, while inspiring sustainability practices in residents’ homes and gardens,”

Marples said. “LEPS is so proud to be a part

of the award-winning Langley Demonstration Garden!”

“We take great pride in creat-ing and maintaining parks and facilities that residents and visi-tors can thoroughly enjoy and make great use of, but it’s always nice to be recognized for your eff orts by your profession,” said Leavers.

He credits the leadership and vision of Township Council for bringing the award-winning facilities to life.

On May 30, BCRPA award recipients Neufeld, Marples, landscape architect Blair Arbuthnot, and Solid Waste Coordinator Robyn Cooper appeared before Township Council to present them with the awards.

A Langley student was also recognized by the BC Recreation and Parks Association.

Dana Simpson, a Landscape Technology Diploma stu-dent at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, received a scholar-ship from BCRPA. Simpson has helped install a green roof on the Gateway of Hope building and created raised garden beds and trellises for Northview Cott age at Langley Memorial Hospital.

‘Top 10’ suspect arrested

Aldergrove Star

Th e only female car theft suspect on B.C.’s top 10 most wanted list is now in police custody.

Stephanie Rene De-schene had been featured in late March as the sole woman on the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team’s most wanted list, and had been at-large ever since.

Th at came to an end last Th ursday aft ernoon, when she was arrested in Langley.

Police allege she broke into a home in the Clover-dale area, then stole the ho-meowner’s minivan when they returned home and interrupted the break-in.

Th e van was spott ed by IMPACT members, which called in the RCMP heli-copter.

When Deschene stopped to let her dog out of the ve-hicle in a Langley park, she was arrested.

She is a suspect in other auto theft s and is the sub-ject of an ongoing investi-gation.

Who’s who

By JEFF NAGELBlack Press

A potential blanket ban on smoking in all Metro Vancouver regional parks and greenways could force puff ers to butt out at beaches, trails and campgrounds run by the regional district.

A range of possible restrictions will be considered by Metro’s parks committ ee, which could opt to send the issue out for public consultation before any decisions are made.

Th e options include a blanket ban in all Metro-run parks and greenways; defi ned smoking zones; a limited ban on smoking in specif-ic zones near high-activity areas; or continue the status quo with smok-ing restricted in trails and hazard areas when the fi re risk is high as well as the standard provincial ban on smoking near building door-ways.

A full ban with fi nes for violators would go farthest to protect park users from second-hand smoke, according to a staff report.

It says that would also eliminate litt er, leaching toxins and the risk of wildfi re from discarded cigarett e butt s.

But Langley Coun. Gayle Martin, Metro parks committ ee chair and a smoker herself, says it’s too heavy handed.

“I don’t approve of a full ban,” she said. “A partial ban would still allow people to exercise their rights as a smoker.”

Martin said a limited ban could allow designated areas for smok-ing in popular gathering areas of parks, including smoking sections of beaches.

Smoking should be allowed on trails in the region, she added, but not near children’s playgrounds.

Martin also opposes any move to outlaw campfi res under such a ban at Metro-run campgrounds, such as Derby Reach in Langley or Matsqui Trail.

“Campfi res are part of camping,” she said.

“What about the motor homes running their generators and all the fumes they produce?”

Martin said she will also seek clarifi cation of whether a Metro no-smoking policy that specifi es “tobacco” smoking might leave a legal loophole where marijuana smokers couldn’t be ticketed.

It’s not clear how far Metro could go to enforce a smoke ban.

Th e region can’t aff ord to dra-matically step up ranger patrols to police parks for smoking, Martin said.

Th at means common sense will be critical no matt er what happens, she said.

“As a smoker, I am very respect-ful of non-smokers when I am out in the public. I don’t want smoke to drift into their face.”

Martin said it doesn’t make sense to send the issue out to exten-sive and potentially costly public consultation, saying the public would likely overwhelmingly sup-port a full ban.

“I think we know what the answer is going to be,” she said.

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart agreed, adding his city – which already banned smoking it parks – conducted a referendum last year that found 79 per cent of voters supported a now-implement-ed extension to also ban smoking on sidewalks and patios, including private ones such as coff ee shops that children can access.

“Th e voices for clean air in pub-

lic spaces spoke quite loudly,” he said, adding the region shouldn’t spend too much on any consulta-tion.

Stewart sits on the parks com-mitt ee and said he hasn’t yet decid-ed which option he will support.

Th e danger of fi res from dis-carded cigarett es is serious, he said, pointing to a “nearly disastrous” fi re at Colony Farm Regional Park in Coquitlam last summer.

“It’s an enormous risk for our urban parks,” Stewart said. “A butt lands in dry grass or bark mulch and you could lose the entire park.”

No matt er what the committ ee recommends, the issue will have to go to a decision of the full Metro board, which doesn’t meet again until June 24.

Any new rules wouldn’t aff ect civic parks run by municipalities.

But Vancouver, West Vancouver, White Rock, Coquitlam and Port Moody already ban smoking in all parks, including trails, while Richmond, North Vancouver District, Belcarra and Abbotsford ban smoking at playing fi elds, play-grounds and, in some cases, beach-es.

Any new Metro policy that rolls out would aff ect areas like Tynehead, Campbell Valley, Pacifi c Spirit, Lynn Headwaters and Belcarra regional parks as well as greenways such as Pitt River and Seymour River.

Beaches governed by Metro Parks include Centennial Beach at Boundary Bay Regional Park, Wreck Beach in Vancouver and Sasamat Lake in Belcarra.

In all, Metro runs 22 regional parks as well as four greenways that will include 100 kilometres of trails once complete.

Car thieves busted by Project BordertownAldergrove Star

Just before 9 a.m. on May 11 offi cers from Project Bordertown were pa-trolling the Aldergrove area. Th ey at-tended a property in the 26800-block of 60 Avenue that is known to police for property crime.

As the offi cers entered the drive-way, they observed a Toyota Camry exiting. Th e licence plate was queried and revealed the vehicle had been stolen earlier that morning in Burn-aby. Police activated the emergency equipment on the police vehicle and the Toyota entered a driveway of a property in the 26600-block of 60

Avenue. Two male occupants exited the

Toyota and ran. Th e offi cers gave chase but lost sight of the suspects. Within minutes Police Dog Services att ended and were able to establish a track. Th is led them to a property in the 26800-block of 60 Avenue, where one male was located up a tree.

Th e search continued and the sec-ond male suspect was located a short time later.

Both males, a 27-year-old Salmo man and a 32-year-old Burnaby man, were arrested and police have recom-mended a charge of possession of sto-

len property for both men. “Th is typifi es our eff orts towards

integrated and cooperative policing both within the detachment and with our municipal policing partners,” said Corporal Holly Marks.

Project Bordertown began in Feb-ruary of this year to address the dra-matic spike in property off ences along the Abbotsford-Langley border. As part of this initiative, uniformed offi -cers from both Abbotsford Police De-partment and Langley RCMP partner with a focused objective of dealing with property crime and property of-fenders in the border area.

VICTORIA – Even if all you care about is your own wallet, the harmo-nized sales tax just became an off er you shouldn’t refuse.

Premier Christy Clark promised a “bold” fi x for the HST, and she delivered. For months I have been arguing that the only way to overcome the wave of rejec-tion caused by the panicked introduc-tion of the HST is to off er a rate cut. I expected one per cent.

Now if you vote to keep it, a second one-per-cent reduction will be largely fi nanced by reversing some of the B.C. Liberals’ business tax cuts of recent years. It not only sweetens the deal for consumers, it’s great politics.

First, let’s look at it from a selfi sh, short-term perspective, the way some readers loudly remind me they view the world. If you vote next month to go back to the provincial sales tax, the combined 12-per-cent PST-GST on goods that you probably didn’t notice before will con-tinue. If you have kids under 18 or are a senior living on less than $40,000 a year, you will be saying no to a $175-per-per-son bonus cheque.

If you only care about yourself, you won’t care about the loss of HST cred-its to the poorest people in B.C. You won’t care about the province repaying Ott awa’s transition fund, or rebuild-ing a B.C. sales tax department to force business to convert their billing systems again. You won’t care about the competi-tive advantage given to Ontario, unless it costs you your job.

When the B.C. government of the day has to cut services to pay for this disas-trous reversal, you’ll denounce them for doing what you told them to do. You will get the government you deserve, which may include a PST extended to restaurant meals or haircuts, because the money has to come from somewhere.

When Clark’s HST “fi x” was unveiled, it was the NDP’s turn to panic. Th ey have painted themselves into a corner,

and now face the prospect of arguing for a return to an archaic sales tax with a higher rate.

And once again, Bill Vander Zalm and Chris Delaney tour B.C. in their Fight HST conspiracy clown car, refueled by $250,000 of public funds to campaign in the referendum.

Th eir campaign of fear and ignorance is encountering heavy resistance at uni-versity and college campuses, however, as tax experts fact-check their claims on the spot. (Th ey’ve added “rallies” in an eff ort to keep fear alive.)

Delaney still raves about Europe being the cause of all this alleged human misery with their insidious Value Added Tax. Vander Zalm continues to mutt er about a plot to establish world govern-ment through carbon taxes and the HST.

It would be nice if the NDP-Fight HST crowd were concerned about the wave of retiring baby boomers that is starting to wash across the country. But they’re not.

Th ere are changes happening now in the B.C. economy that 1960s socialism and 1980s populism are not equipped to handle. Th e living standard of our chil-dren is going to be determined by how we deal with our aging, globalizing pop-ulation, and this is one reason to under-stand a shift to consumption taxes.

Fourteen months ago I wrote that more U.S. states are joining Washington, Hawaii and others with sales taxes on services as well as goods.

Robert Kleine, treasurer for Michigan, explained it this way: “Th e basic thing is that we need to update our tax structure. We’ve got a 20th-century tax structure based on a diff erent sort of economy. Th e tax base doesn’t grow as the econo-my grows.”

Selling HST to the ‘me’ generation

IRICE: Ingrid Rice’s View Street life giving way to shelter dwelling in valley

Black Press

Th e release of numbers from the Lower Mainland’s latest homeless count paint an interesting picture of change across the region.

Since 2008, the fi gures show, there has been a dramatic shift from streets to shelters, and Langley, thanks in large part to its new homeless shelter, is no exception.

In fact, of the communities included in the count, Langley saw by far the great-est percentage increase over three years (275 per cent, up from 12 to 45) in the number of people who are considered to be homeless, but sheltered.

Meanwhile, the number of unshel-tered homeless people in the two Lan-gleys combined dropped by nearly 20 per cent, from 74 to 60 over the same period.

Fraser Holland, one of Langley’s two homeless outreach workers, who is based at Stepping Stone Rehabilitative Society, was a litt le surprised by the fi g-ures released last week, saying his own experience led him to believe the num-bers would be higher. But with this being the fi rst count taken since the Gateway of Hope shelter opened in November, 2009, Holland admitt ed he wasn’t sure what to expect.

Working alongside Langley’s other outreach worker, Emily Aldcroft , Hol-land sees, on average, three to four new people connecting with the program each week, which would seem to indi-cate the number of homeless people in Langley is growing dramatically.

But there are other factors at play, he noted, including migration between shelters and communities.

As the weather improves many people are on the move from west to east, to-ward the Okanagan and jobs picking fruit, passing through Langley as they go.

During a period when overall home-less numbers have climbed eight to 10 per cent, Langley’s outreach workers have seen two surprising spikes, Holland said. Th e fi rst is in the number of women 19 to 23 and the other, women in their 40s and 50s.

Both jumped by about 25 per cent over the course of a year.

Holland said this is likely because the fi rst group has become more visible as the young women enter adulthood and fi nd themselves out on their own, while the older women may be leaving rela-tionships with nowhere to go.

In the fi ve years he’s been in the posi-tion, the overall number of people in Langley who are considered to be home-less has grown exponentially, Holland said.

“Whether it’s socio-economic or, as outreach goes along, we’re gett ing deeper into the issue (is unclear),” he said.

“When you’re looking just at home-lessness on the streets, the numbers are down. But the working poor, couch surfers, people housed in unstable situ-ations — take that into account and the numbers are going to grow, one way or another.”

Th is count did a bett er job of tallying

the number of homeless youth, Holland believes. Although the exact fi gures will always be elusive, “you have to try to at least factor them in,” he said.

Of course, numbers only tell part of the story.

Ten years ago, the typical homeless person in Langley was a man in his 40s or 50s.

“Now, it’s a mix,” said Holland. “You see everything.”

Th e economic downturn and splinter-ing of families have left people of both genders and all ages at some degree of homelessness, whether it’s couch surf-ing, living in a shelter or literally out on the street.

People are no longer one cheque away from being in trouble. Now they’re one cheque away from gett ing out of trouble — and it’s a gap that’s very diffi cult to bridge, Holland said.

One of the main components of his job is to help get people into stable living situations — a task that oft en must be accomplished in stages and by building relationships both with potential land-lords and tenants who may require a few chances before they’re able to sett le in to a permanent living arrangement.

While Langley could always use a third outreach worker, Holland said, the sup-port off ered by other agencies, including Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services (ANS) and Family and Youth Services Society (FAYSS) has been invaluable.

As has backing from the public, he said.

“Anytime Langley has a need for some-thing, it’s amazing the level of support (that materializes).”

When he was growing up in Langley, everyone knew what the poor areas of town were, but there weren’t people liv-ing on the streets, Holland said.

Today’s youth are seeing a whole other side of poverty and Holland is amazed at how seriously they’re taking the issue.

One local high school student, De-siree Wallace, even wrote and directed a play about homelessness, which she mounted at LSS last week as a fundraiser for the outreach program.

“Th eir adamancy that it’s not right, that we can do bett er — it’s great,” he said.

Th e youngest group he’s spoken to was a class of Grade 3 students.

“I couldn’t answer enough questions for them — one question just led to an-other.”

He’s aware, of course, that there are go-ing to be negative impacts on the com-munity when people live on the streets or camp in parks.

“As an outreach worker, you have to balance possible solutions with how they aff ect the community.”

Part of solving those problems is reaching a level of trust and mutual re-spect that can only be built over time. And regular meetings at a Langley City coff ee house, St. Joseph’s weekly soup kitchen and other drop-in programs, have helped Holland and Aldcroft to forge those relationships, he said.

“When you know someone for fi ve years, you get to know them prett y well — probably bett er than anyone’s known them in a long time.”

Editor:I have writt en this lett er to MLA

Rich Coleman in regards to the pub-lic walkway at 269 Street and 28B Av-enue in Aldergrove.

I live on one side of the walkway and have lived here for four months. In the four months since being here there have been many many prob-lems with that walkway.

Th e amount of children that use that walkway during school hours is incredible. Th ey leave garbage every-where, they throw their smokes all over as well as the amount of drugs that are used.

I, along with neighbours, have con-tacted the high school and were told

due to it not being school property their hands were tied. We have spo-ken with police and were told the best thing to do is call the Township. Th ey throw their garbage over our fence in the neighbour’s yard and have no re-spect for our properties.

I have a nine-year-old daughter who I can not even let out in the yard due to all the drugs and foul language, as well as public urination. Th e walkway is not safe and the amount of drug traffi c that goes up and down it is in-credible.

I would like to invite anyone from your offi ce or a member of the police force to come sit in my house and just watch what goes on, and I feel if that

happens something would be done. Property value in this neighbour-

hood I am sure is greatly aff ected due to this matt er. I would like to think the Township can do something about this; they need to care more about Aldergrove and give it the same consideration as a bigger city.

I grew up here and would like to continue raising my children here, however, I feel Aldergrove is no lon-ger a family town. It is overrun by youth on the street, numerous drug dealers and public walkways that are not patrolled.

Your att ention to this would be greatly appreciated.

Frustrated in Aldergrove

Editor:Tristan Vance is my six-year-old

son who read your story, “Alder-grove family looks to community for help,” several weeks ago. Th e story is about the young boy Carter Mantt a, who is suff ering from chronic granulomatous disease.

He didn’t like that Carter and his family have to go through so much grief, so he wanted to do something to help. His mother suggested he could do a bott le drive to raise money to donate to the Mantt as account at the Royal Bank in Aldergrove.

Tristan wrote a lett er and he and mom got enough photocopies so

they could be delivered to every house on our street and the next one too (about 110 single family homes in Brookswood).

Th e next week, Tristan brought his Mom (pulling the wagon), three-year-old sister Arianna, seven-year-old cousin, Rachel and friends, Ava and Julia, and went collecting.

When they were about halfway up our street, I got a phone call to bring the truck “and hook up the trailer.” Before we were done, I was literally crawling over garbage bags of bott les and cans in our utility trailer and was gett ing mighty con-cerned there wouldn’t be enough space left in the back of the truck

to carry what was left . We went directly to the bott le

depot in Langley and fi lled up three large pallets.

Shortly aft er the folks at the depot managed to get through counting everything we had given them, Tristan picked up a cheque and delivered it to the Royal Bank for Carter’s family.

Th e grand total for Tristan’s bot-tle drive was a surprising $174.70.

Th ank you to all who donated to the cause and yes, Tristan said he’d like to do something like that again.

But he’s going to need a bigger wagon.

Jason Vance, Brookswood

Six-year-old leads bott le drive

Editor:Th e Langley School Board has

decided to eliminate our shutt le bus from Parkside to Bett y Gilbert, which will in turn cause kids to cross Fraser Highway on foot.

My child will be one of them. My son was struck by a car just crossing a side street at 32 Avenue on his way from school on May 17 of last year.

I need your help to let our voices be heard.

We are talking about our future here.

Th is will cause more cars and more foot traffi c which in turn will cause more accidents.

Time for us to talk turkey?

Editor: Recently I saw yet an-

other lett er portraying the current Langley Town-ship mayor as a knight in shining armour gallantly fi ghting the evil council-lors (this infamous “gang of six”) and insiders before going on to insult a new candidate.

I wondered how much truth there was to the al-legations made so I actually called Jack Froese and asked him if he ever utt ered the statement that the let-ter writer Robert Moats at-tributed to him. His words were twisted just enough to change the meaning of what was actually said. He had stated that he would work together with any elected council. Was it not the democratic process that put these councillors into offi ce in the fi rst place? Was it not the constituents’ choice for who they chose to speak for them?

Clearly the mayor’s gang of lett er writers only sees and hears what they want to believe is the truth. It’s like they’re spellbound by Merlin and they’ve already formed their opinions re-gardless of the facts.

Th is makes me wonder if the mayor’s Camelot has any grip on reality at all. I suspect not.

I, for one look forward to a new and unbiased perspective in local gov-ernment. Why can we not, fi nally, work together for the Good of Langley.

Maybe its time we all just talk a litt le turkey.

Marlene Myers, Langley

Why are we paying?

Editor:Here we go again: the

taxpayer is footing the bill for HST advertising. Th e HST should have been on the political platform for the Liberals during the last provincial election, but they knew they would not win if the HST was included.

Th is is a Liberal party issue. Th ey started it, they should fi x it, and the costs for this advertising should be coming out of the Lib-eral Party coff ers, not the taxpayers’ pocketbook.

Debbie Atkinson, Langley

Taxpayers in the dark on HST questionsEditor: So far, I get the impression they

don’t want us to understand too much about the HST. Allowing the Feds to collect our B.C. sales tax with their GST is troublesome. Why are the Feds so willing and anxious to bribe us with $1.6 billion of our fed-eral tax dollars so they can collect our provincial sales taxes? Is it because it gives them more control over the provinces?

Do you think Quebec would ever allow or trust the Feds to hold pos-session of their provincial sales taxes? Not a chance. How is this good for the Western provinces? Is it a sellout of our provincial autonomy and sov-ereignty, as litt le as remains? Could this minimize our clout to negotiate with Ott awa when we have already surrendered and signed over our complete income and sales tax col-lection authority?

To add insult to injury, now our new rookie premier Christy Clark and cabinet are wasting another $5 mil-lion sell-job on us with our own hard

earned tax dollars with expensive ads like seen on prime time TV hockey playoff s.

Where is the big administrative effi -ciency and cost savings in it for B.C.?

I understand it is good for busi-nesses and easier to remit/collect one tax instead of two and agree with the effi ciency aspect of one tax.

Now the Libs have resorted to play-ing head games with us in the twisted psycho-babble way they are phrasing the referendum question. Th e people are stupid and we can trick them to vote ‘No’ which actually is a vote for the HST. Yes means No and No means Yes. Is there no shame?

On May 27 I had a phone call from ‘Campaign Research.ca’, a polling company in Ontario, asking how I will vote. Unprepared for the convoluted question, I replied ‘no’ but in actually meant ‘yes’. Even the pollster em-ployee was confused. Since the ques-tion is inside–out and backwards, the results of the poll are worthless, inde-cipherable and another incompetent waste of our tax dollars.

Th en they play more manipulation tinkering games with the ‘corporate’ and ‘small business’ tax.

It’s become a gong show of mis-management, doubt, confusion and loss of credibility. Why cant they just keep it simple and forthright?

What’s wrong with this HST idea that I have heard so many times: ex-empt basically the same items as the previous PST did plus a few improve-ments to benefi t us, the consumers, and remit/collect both taxes by the provincial government.

Christy Clark already appears to be making big defi cit blunderer Gordon Campbell look good. And now she is playing more games with the Carbon Tax in att empts to extend it to other uses.

I can’t believe these people are in charge of our future and they want to be re-elected? Th en we have the socialist NDP salivating for power to replace them. God help us! Maybe it is time for a fi scally ‘Conservative Co-alition’ government in B.C.?

Kiefer Penman hopes a lot of people take note of his eff ort to walk around the Greater Vancouver Zoo in Aldergrove this summer.

Th e Binkbonk Ramblers — his mother Sheelagh points out four and a half year old Kiefer named the team — will take part in the Telus Walk to Cure Juvenile Diabetes on June 12.

All money raised goes to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation ( JDRF) and the family has a number of fundrais-ing ideas on the go.

Kiefer has made a lot of progress in the couple years since he was diag-nosed with type 1 diabe-tes before he was three, when he was unable to describe the symptoms and trouble he was suff er-ing.

His father Kenneth has type 1, so his family was more aware of the possi-bility than most when the toddler constantly had to pee.

Sheelagh said it took them a while to come to terms with what it would mean to Kiefer’s life and gett ing into the routine of a dozen needles and fi n-ger pokes to test his blood every day.

Beginning to gear up for full-day Kindergarten in September, Kiefer is already learning his num-bers from doing his own blood tests and recently tried to change his own insulin infusion, which his mother points out chil-dren usually start around age 12.

His parents keep him busy with physical activ-ity, one of the best ways

to keep his blood sugar down, and his 19-month-old brother Lennox is beginning to join in the activities and training for the big walk next month.

Sheelagh said they are concerned about their youngest developing type 1, since there is a genetic component, but noted that 80 per cent of

children diagnosed don’t have a family history.

She cautions that all families need to be aware of the symptoms, which include excessive thirst, hunger and urination, unexplained weight loss, tiredness and dry, itchy skin.

Diabetes awareness is almost becoming a victim of its success, they point out, as people become almost blasé about the impact, especially on chil-dren, which is when type 1 usually strikes.

People don’t real-ize what a big deal type 1 is and how diff erent it is from type 2, said Kenneth. Type 1 is a non-preventable autoimmune disease that strikes sud-denly leaving the person dependent on insulin for life.

Sheelagh, a registered massage therapist, is off er-ing a 30 minute massage for donations over $100, or add 15 minutes to any massage for $50.

Th e family is encour-aging people to place litt le sneaker signs in their front yards to pro-mote the walk, and for $20 they’ll plant one in a friend’s yard for you.

Th ey also have sneaker wrist bands available for a $1 donation.

Th ere are also closer walks for people who want to get involved. Follow the links at www.jdrf.ca to fi nd Kiefer’s team to donate, or infor-mation on walks in Nanaimo and Courtenay on June 5.

Call 250-954-7013 or e-mail [email protected] to donate through the family or get more information.

Seniors invited to spring tea at KinsmenCan you believe it’s June and still no

sunshine in the forecast? No wonder we’re looking so pale and worn out. Maybe we’re watching too much hockey?

Th e coming week will be exciting and never fear, my hockey buddy and I will be waving our white towels, be-cause it’s our turn for the treasured “cup.”

It’s a strange world with fl oods and fi res, earthquakes and typhoons. But no doubt we’ll survive now that the fanatical predictions of that minister failed to come true.

In the senior’s quarters, carpet bowling last Th ursday was fun but it is now over until September.

Th ere was no crib on Monday either since it was the Victoria day holiday.

Th e pot luck dinner wasn’t as well att ended as usual, with only 17 there, but there was lots of good food and we fi nished it off with card bingo.

Bridge was on Friday, as usual. Th e winners were Myrtle Kemp with top score of 5950, Doug Johnston had 5880 and Bill McKeown was third with 5290.

Th e spring tea will be held at the Kinsmen Community Centre on June 7. It is always a very enjoyable

aft ernoon, so keep the date in mind. Th e United Church women are having their windup the same day, and it’s too bad we can’t be ev-erywhere.

Th e June meeting of the OAPO is the fi rst Friday of June.

At the Veterans and Seniors Club the July sale is fast approach-ing and they are sort-ing and preparing the goods, so bring your items in early.

Card games have been going well with as many as fi ve and half tables at crib. Winners last week were Larry for his 713 score, Joan with 708, and Bett y with 641. Come along and join the fun.

Dominoes is popular on Th ursday aft ernoon and whist is the game for Friday.

Our cook, Rick, is preparing the nu-tritious meals so come and join us for the noon dinners.

Th e book, “Th e Oldtimers” writ-ten by Gary Mason, a Vancouver Sun reporter, is interesting especially if

you are a hockey fan and have followed the game through the years that Johnny Bower, Stan Mikita, Dave Keon, Bobby Hull and Bobby Orr were big stars.

It is the story of the oldtimers’ trek to the diff erent cities and towns, as far north as Yellowknife and Whitehorse. It is a fun read.

Here’s a story about a couple who went to

a therapist for counselling. Th e wife was listing every problem they had in 15 years of marriage and she went on and on about lack of intimacy, feeling unloved, emptiness. Th e therapist walked over to the wife and asked her to stand and he then embraced and kissed her passionately. Th e therapist then turned to the husband and said, “Th is is what your wife needs three times a week. Can you do this?”

Township sees no danger at 256 Street

By NATASHA JONESBlack Press

With one exception, every major intersection on Fraser Highway from Langley City to Aldergrove is controlled with traffi c signals.

Th e one at 256 Street is not, and on May 9 a local resi-dent lobbied council to install traffi c lights at the rural crossroads.

Aft er Janet Ingram-Johnson came before council “plead-ing for common sense before someone gets hurt,” council ordered a report from its traffi c engineers.

Th ey concluded that there isn’t enough volume to justify lights, and that aft er left -turn lanes were installed in 2005, the number of collisions dropped to an average of 4.8 per year.

Paul Cordeiro, the manager of transportation engineer-ing, said that over the past fi ve years, “only six collisions may have been preventable with the installation of lights.”

A rate of 1.2 preventable collisions per year “does not meet the minimum guideline for the installation of a traf-fi c signal,” Cordeiro wrote.

Traffi c and accident data, and the small number of pe-destrians, do not warrant signals, he said.

Ingram-Johnson had told council that the fl ashing light above the intersection is not enough, and that full signals and a crosswalk are needed.

Ingram-Johnson noted that there is a bus stop east of the intersection, but no marked crosswalk or pedestrian light. People have to run across Fraser Highway which has a sin-gle lane going east, a single westbound lane and a centre lane for left turns in both directions.

Cordeiro said that during a traffi c count that lasted seven hours, only two pedestrians crossed the road at the inter-section.

Noting that school buses heading for Coghlan Elemen-tary have to cross the road without the benefi t of traffi c lights, she said that at busy times of the day it is “diffi cult and dangerous” to cross Fraser Highway.

She sometimes must wait fi ve to 10 minutes to turn from 256 Street onto the highway, she told council.

Councillor Steve Ferguson agreed that the intersection “has been a problem for years.”

Fraser Highway is a Major Road Network street and as such the Township would require TransLink approval for improvements, even if the transportation authority re-fused to pay for them.

Cordeiro assured council that the intersection would continue to be monitored.

Th e never-ending quest for harmony between humans and nature will be displayed in Abbotsford next week with a production by aeri-alists and dancers, to an international beat.

Cirque du Soleil is presenting Dralion at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (AESC) for seven shows, with opening night on Th ursday, June 2.

Th e mix of circus acts and entertainment will blend melodies from India, Africa and Europe.

Its title is the merging

of the dragon, symboliz-ing the East, and the lion, symbolizing the West.

At the show’s begin-ning, the four elements – air, water, fi re and earth – are in confl ict, all hoping to defend their territories.

As the show goes on, they come to live in peace and harmony.

Gaya, the Goddess of the Earth, is played by Henriett e Gbou.

Originally from Africa’s Ivory Coast, Gbou is a long-time resi-dent of Montreal.

She has been a per-former in Dralion since it started in 1999, aft er being scouted at a dance

performance in Africa. She’s always played the same role, in which she possesses human warmth (fi re) and the cool, fresh vitality of life (water).

Her costume consists of red, blue, yellow and green pieces, complete with elaborate makeup, which she puts on herself.

With the help of a translator, Gbou spoke through her thick French accent about her love for Dralion over the phone.

Being on stage and sharing the energy with the cast and audience is what has kept her with the show for so long, she said.

But it’s the high qual-ity production of acrobat-ics, dance, choreography, comedy and energy that keeps people coming back to watch the perfor-mance, she added.

Th e Abbotsford show will be part of a new leg of the tour, lasting 10 weeks. In total, the cast and crew spend about 40 weeks a year on the road. Gbou has learned to balance the hectic routine, which sees her perform for 10 weeks and return home for two.

When at home, Gbou teaches dance, keeping her in shape.

She’s always danc-ing, she joked. Before

each show, Gbou can be found backstage dancing in front of a mirror in her full costume and makeup. It helps her get into char-acter, she said.

To buy tickets visit www.abbotsfordcentre.ca, visit the box offi ce or call 1-866-977- AESC (2372).

With inspirations from China, India and Africa, the costumes of Dralion are vibrant, colourful and artistic. Each colour represents one of the four elements. Blue is air, green is water, red is fi re and ochre is earth.

Th is year Parks Canada is cel-ebrating its 100th birthday and its establishment in 1911 as the fi rst national parks service in the world.

Parks Canada’s national parks, national historic sites and national marine conservation areas from coast to coast to coast will join in the nation-wide celebration to mark the centennial anniversary with special events happening in Fort Langley.

It’s a great time for Fort Langley residents to get out and explore a part of their national heritage.

“As part of Parks Canada’s cen-tennial, we are off ering a wide range of exciting activities at all of our sites across Canada, so that, Canadians, and kids, can develop meaningful connections to their national trea-sures,” said Alan Latourelle, Parks Canada CEO.

Entrance fees to all Parks Canada sites, including Fort Langley National Historic Site and the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site, are waived across the

country on Canada Day, July 1, and on Parks Day, July 16.

In addition to these incentives, here are some of the Fort Langley area events that will help to ensure experiences in the national parks and national historic sites are unfor-gett able this summer.

On May 23, there will be a Centennial celebration at Fort Langley National Historic Site with a birthday cake and the debut per-formance of Parks Canada’s excit-ing, educational new theatre troupe, Beaver Tales Th eatre Co. Admission to the site is free throughout the day.

On June 18 and 19, Parks Canada and Mountain Equipment Co-op, with the support of local partners, present an interactive Learn to Camp event for families who may have never been camping before.

One hundred novice campers will experience sett ing up camp, cooking outside and sleeping in a tent overnight. Participants will also learn the basics of outdoor safety,

and try their hand at a number of outdoor activities. Th e event will be held in Brae Island Regional Park in Fort Langley.

On Parks Day, July 16, in addi-tion to free admission and spe-cial programming at Fort Langley National Historic Site, Parks Canada will hold a major cel-ebration of its 100th year in one of Vancouver’s most beloved places, Stanley Park.

A fun-fi lled family day of festivi-ties will run from noon to 6 p.m., followed by a free outdoor concert from 6 to 9 p.m. at Stanley Park’s Brockton Point.

On August 20 and 21 Fort Langley National Historic Site will be taking part in Fab Forts Weekend, inspired by the 300th birthday of the completion of Fort Chambly.

Th e celebration will take place at historic forts across the country with a signature 100-gun salute and toast to Parks Canada’s centennial.

Boys of Summer on the BallBoys of Summer on the Ball

Th e Aldergrove Totems Senior Boys rugby squad traveled to Kamloops this past weekend to square off with Kalamalka.

Despite some tired eyes due to late night grad festivities, the boys were up for the batt le. As asked by coaches, the opening kick by Connor Hunter saw Kick Waterman and Jordan Nickel gang tackle the receiver and win the ball back.

Th e forwards maintained control of the ball and tramped down the fi eld which allowed Connor Hunter to slot a penalty kick right down the pipes. Th e back line some found some time and space to execute some excellent line running by centres Doug Saunders and Ryan Swann.

Doug Saunders went for a vicious run right up the centre and the Kalamalka defence could not contain him, putt ing the Totems up 10 with Hunter’s conver-sion.

Josh Kwiatkowski played his usual aggressive game and earned the “crunch” award for relentless defence.

Into the second half the boys found themselves with a penalty that they decided to run their set play on.

Josh Kwiatkowski ran with great pace and Kurtis Winder created the fast ball for the backs. Connor Hunter put up

a perfect cross fi eld kick which Cody Nicholls recovered nicely. A quick ruck and Will Foss was diving over the line for a perfectly executed try.

Austin Desouza did some hard work in the front row to earn the Totems some valuable ground and set them moving forward. Nick Hardwick ran the ball hard up the wing with immediate support from forwards Mike Head and Henri Donath.

With some quick feet and impres-sive ball movement the Totems put their captain, Connor Hunter, over the line for the fi nal try of the match.

Th e Totems got in position for one last penalty kick by Hunter and then weathered a fi nal push from Kalamalka for a fi nal score of 23-5.

Try of the day went to Doug Saunders and Man of the Match went to scrumhalf Jason Esbensen for excellent control of the forwards and some great defensive technique.

With this fi rst round win Aldergrove secures a spot in the top-8 in the prov-ince.

Th e provincial matches will take place over three days at Exhibition Park in Abbotsford. Th e fi rst was Wednesday, and then Th ursday at 11 a.m. and fi nal game, including the AA and AAA fi nals, on Saturday, June 4.

Kamloops hosts fi rst round of Motocross Nationals

Aldergrove Star

Round 1 of the nine-round 2011 Mon-ster Energy Motocross Nationals is set to kick off on June 5 at Whispering Pines Raceway in Kamloops.

Th e facility, located on native reserve land 25km north of Kamloops along the North Th ompson River, has been in opera-tion since 1999 and is one of the premiere motocross tracks in Canada.

“Th is is the time of the year everyone involved in the sport of profes-sional motocross racing looks forward to, the beginning of a new championship season. We’re happy to announce that as per the past few years, Kamloops will get things underway,” said Mark Stallybrass, president of CMRC, the offi cial sanctioning body of the series.

“We’re also excited to have Nanaimo back on the schedule, which provides us with a more solid presence in British Co-lumbia, and gives local fans on Vancouver Island a chance to see Campbell River’s Dusty Klatt , the reigning champion, in ac-tion.”

Th e multi-time National MX1 and MX2 Champion, Klatt , will fi nd himself facing a host of contenders in defence of his MX1 crown, including his Yamaha Red Bull

Blackfoot teammate Colton Facciott i.Facciott i, defending MX1 Champion

in 2010, saw his season cut short last year due to injuries. Although the Aldergrove native is unanimously considered to be Klatt ’s main rival, a number of up-and-comers and veterans with something left to prove, Canadians as well as Americans, New Zealanders, and Europeans, are also in the wings looking to claim the elusive No. 1 plate.

“When you’re the defending champ, you have a bull’s eye on your back. You’re the guy every-one is gunning for and that puts a bit of extra stress on you. Th e fi rst event of the season always brings a bit of added pressure because there are usually new riders in the mix, and everybody is out to score not only racing

points but important psychological points. Although one race doesn’t make a season, in many cases the fi rst round gives you a fair idea what you’re in for,” said Klatt .

Round 2 of the Monster Energy Moto-cross Nationals takes place in Nanaimo on June 12.

Th e western leg of the tour then travels to Calgary, Alberta and Morden, Manitoba, before heading east for the remaining fi ve rounds.

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

By GARY AHUJABlack Press

Th e fact that the entire Henderson clan is involved in hockey comes as litt le surprise to the family’s patriarch.

Aft er all, the way Roy Henderson described it, his two sons were born into hockey.

Within days of both sons being born, Henderson boasts that the newborns were already at the hock-ey rink, where their dad spent much of his time.

So it is only fi tt ing, that all these years later, and the game still plays a central part of the Hendersons’ lives.

Henderson, along with his older brother John, offi cially take control of Langley’s junior A hockey club today ( June 1).

And Roy’s sons, Bobby, 29, and Taylor, 22, will play key roles in the day-to-day operations of the team.

“Th ese kids have a degree in hockey,” Roy said.

“Th ey have both been around the game since day one, since they were just a few days old.

“In all honestly, they have seen all aspects of the game.”

Roy, who played minor hockey, got into the hockey business when he was in his 30s, landing a scouting job with the old Kamloops Oilers and Bill Laforge.

Roy was a natural fi t.“I had a passion for the game

and I was good at writing reports,” he explained, adding that his day job as a probation offi cer made him a good investigator which translated well to his new side job.

Within a couple of years, Roy had progressed to the point where he landed in the NHL as the Philadelphia Flyers’ western scout.

“It wasn’t to be in the NHL, I just enjoyed (scouting),” Roy said.

Th e gig, which happened in the 1980s, lasted for three years.

Th is was right around when his eldest son, Bobby, was gett ing ready to start playing at the minor hockey level and Roy wanted to spend less time away from home and more time watching his own son play.

But that didn’t stop Roy’s involvement in the game.

He turned his focus to junior hockey in B.C., building a Centennial Cup-winning team with the Richmond Sockeyes.

Th ere was also a stint with the New Westminster Royals, a team which lost only three games the entire season.

A proponent of a good college education, Roy’s next venture was creating Global Sports Scouting Services Inc. 20 years ago.

“Th ere was a need for helping kids get scouted by the NCAA,” he explained about the business ven-ture.

What began with about 90 or so kids looking to get scouted in Burnaby has grown to include camps in Las Vegas and Chicago.

About 1,150 players — peewee, bantam, midget and junior — are registered for the camp this year.

And now comes the latest ven-ture: owning a team.

“It is all about giving something back to the community and the hockey people,” Roy said.

“Sports are wonderful when you are giving kids an opportunity to maybe go off to college.”

Both sons will play integral but diff erent roles with the Rivermen.

Bobby, a former captain of the Chiefs who went on to play at the NCAA level, is an assistant coach and one of the main recruiters.

Both also had roles with Global Sports Scouting.

Taylor, whose minor hockey days ended aft er peewee, is handling the business aspect of the team.

“I have always been interested in sports marketing, so this was a

natural fi t,” Taylor explained.“And it is the family business,

you watch it evolve and it is really exciting.”

Th e fact Bobby wound up behind the bench is no big surprise.

“I prett y much grew up in the hockey rink,” he said, talking about being a stick boy for the junior clubs his dad ran.

“And even when I was still play-ing, I knew I wanted to be a coach.”

Following his playing days at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, Bobby admitt ed to being burned out.

“I just wasn’t having fun at the rink, I knew I needed a break away from it,” he said.

What he did do was coach a team of 12-year-olds, which he called rewarding.

“Young guys are like sponges, you could teach them so much at that age,” Bobby said.

Roy sees himself in Bobby, mar-veling at the way his eldest recruits.

Taylor takes aft er his uncle John, a chartered accountant, for his busi-ness savvy.

Roy loves the fact that he gets to work with his sons.

Th e key is for everyone to know their roles.

“Anytime you have family work-ing together in a business, it is great, but it has its challenges,” Taylor warned. “Communication can be an issue sometimes, establishing the ‘dad’ hat and the ‘boss’ hat and the ‘son’ hat and the ‘employee’ hat.

“In our family, everyone knows their roles in the Global business and now the Rivermen,” he added.

“We know what has to be done.”* * * * *

Th e Rivermen are holding a press conference on Th ursday ( June 2) at the Langley Events Centre, where the team will announce a new head coach as well as some player signings.

By DAN FERGUSONBlack Press

Larry Olson wasn’t going to let a litt le thing like a broken ankle keep him from fl agging the fi rst four-wheel race at the Langley Speedway oval since 1984.

He wasn’t deterred by the fact the event featured custom-built ultra-light electric vehicles instead of the beefy V-8s that used to rampage around the track at the foot of 208 Street in South Langley.

Th e May 18 event was the annual vehicle-in-a-box competi-tion by BCIT students.

Five teams of future high school shop instructors designed and built electrically-powered four-wheelers that had to fi t in a box for assembly on race day.

For Olson, who arrived with a plastic brace for the ankle he fractured less than three weeks

earlier, it was an opportunity to see powered vehicles rounding the track one more time.

As the offi cial starter at the speedway from 1969 to to 1977, Olson fl agged more than 9,000 races.

Events at the track used to draw crowds of 11,000 people to see 20 to 40 cars run the quarter-mile oval, he said.

“We couldn’t get all the cars on the track at the same time so we would run two or three main events in each class.”

Langley Speedway hosted NASCAR Winston West races in 1971, 1972 and 1978, making it one of only three sites in B.C. to run NASCAR events.

Racing ended in 1984 when the regional district parks author-ity refused to lease it out any more. Th e track has since been declared an historic site.

Volunteers have cleaned up

the abandoned oval in recent years, restoring it to the point where it is used for bicycle races and car shows.

But the dents on the metal rails remain to show where cars made unplanned exits from the track, including a gouge and crack on the concrete side wall infl icted by an out-of-control car during one race that narrowly missed Olson.

He got to brush up his fl ag-ging technique about two weeks before the BCIT event during a bicycle race at the oval.

“Th at was a real privilege and an honour to do that and to actu-ally see some kind of racing back at this wonderful facility that we have in Langley,” he said.

For the ninth year of the BCIT competition, instructor Randy Schultz had the idea of bringing motorized racing back to the oval.

“It’s nice to come back and revisit the idea of what hap-pened here in a much more [environmentally] sustainable way,” Schultz said, watching the student teams assemble their cre-ations.

Th ere were three events, a timed assembly of the boxed vehicles, a one-lap sprint around the track, then an endurance run.

Th e winner was the “Green Guzzler” a low-slung design that came with its own stereo system.

“We wanted low aerodynam-ics and we really focused on rolling resistance,” Guzzler team member Regan Glendinning said.

Th e red-and-white “Road Warrior” design fi nished second.

Th e three other contestants recorded did-not-fi nishes, two because of mechanical failure and one because the batt ery ran down.

Speedway makes a ‘green’ comeback

Double victory in the valley for Abby roller girlsAldergrove Star

Over the weekend Ab-botsford’s Reign Valley Vixens held off Edmon-ton’s Oil City Tanker Girls

134 to 76, while the Vix-ens’ Rookies scored 106 over Sunshine Coast (32) in game two.

Both roller derby games

were exciting, fi lled with hard hits and brought the crowd to its feet on several occasions.

Th e biggest winner, how-

ever, was nine-year-old Ji-naya Towson, daughter of the Vixens’ Deathtrap Diva #77, who raised over $400 that evening and donated all of her hair to Locks of Love.

Th ere were tears in the eyes of her mother, who, still in skates, was standing proudly by with a pink ban-dana and a princess crown

to cover Jinaya’s now bare head.

“I’m so proud of my litt le angel,” said Vikki Towson aka Deathtrap Diva #77.

Funds from the Vixens’ fund-raising eff orts are still being tallied, but the league was amazed by the support of the community and de-lighted by the success of this second annual event.
