Fatal stabbing outside Langley

pub

Dairy cow killed in cougar attack

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

One man is dead and another is in custody following a stabbing near the Baselines Pub at Fraser Highway and 203 Street on Monday evening.

Around 7 p.m., Langley RCMP started getting calls from citizens witnessing the suspect actively stabbing the victim.

Offi cers arrived and chased the suspect. He was apprehended a few blocks away, behind the Lang-ley Times offi ce and Me N Ed’s piz-za parlour.

A large amount of blood was vis-ible on the sidewalk outside the Langley Hotel and Baselines Pub, in the 20300 block of Fraser High-way.


Dairy farmers Ralph and Sonja Anderli-ni are warning the public about a cougar in south Langley after one of their young cows was killed early Sunday morning.

The 800-pound heifer was found dead in a pasture on 18 Avenue off of 216 Street, near Campbell Valley Park.

“We could tell it was a cougar because of how the cow was killed and the conserva-tion offi cer confi rmed it,” said Sonja.

A cougar goes after the jugular in the neck of an animal.

In 13 years of farming in the area, the Anderlinis have never lost any of their livestock to wild animals.

“The heifer was killed 150 feet from the house and pool deck,” she said. “We really just want to make south Langley residents aware this happened and that there is a cougar in the area.”

The Conservation Offi ce Service con-fi rmed that it is a cougar and they have set up live traps in the area.

Police are investigating the stabbing death of a man outside Baselines Pub in Langley City on Monday evening. A suspect was arrested a short time after the incident in the parking lot behind the Langley Times offi ce.

CURTIS KREKLAU Special to The Times

If YOU ENCOUNTER A COUGAR: • Stay calm and keep the cougar in

view. Pick up children immediately —children frighten easily, the noise and movements they make could provoke an attack. Back away slowly, ensuring that the animal has a clear avenue of escape. Make yourself look as large as possible. Keep the cougar in front of you at all times.

• Never run or turn your back on a cougar. Sudden movement may pro-voke an attack.

• If a cougar shows interest or follows you, respond aggressively. Maintain eye contact with the cougar, show your teeth and make loud noises.

The 10th annual Grand Prix horse jumping competition and Langley School District fundraiser at Thunder-bird Show Park opened with a precision riding demonstration.

DAN FERGUSON Langley Times


An unprecedented $70,000 was raised at the 10th annual Lang-ley School District Foundation’s Grand Prix gala held on Sunday.

Under beautiful blue skies, hun-dreds of supporters, many donned in their best big hats, took in a world-class horse jumping com-petition, sipped on the best wines from 11 different wineries and nibbled on delicious food offered all day at Thunderbird Show Park.

“It was an amazing day. We had a full house, with 250 guests,” said Foundation executive director Su-san Cairns.

The show jumping saw the best of the best from around North America compete in the qualify-ing round, said Cairns.

The amazing cupcakes, some shaped like Granny Smith apples, others with vegetables displayed, were made by board member Li-anna Valentine.

“It’s a hobby of hers, and they

were a big hit,” she said.The winner of diamond ear-

rings is Kim Kruger. Her husband bought lucky ticket #36, based on how many years they have been married.

The money raised from this year’s gala will go to help feed the 3,000 Langley students who come to school hungry every day, said Cairns.

“It’s hard to believe but it’s true,” she said. “Principals were calling me asking me to raise funds for our kids who are hungry. I start-ed looking into it and an estimat-ed 3,000 students come to school without breakfast and have no packed lunch.”

The program is called Food for Thought with the focus on provid-ing breakfast, lunch and snack for these students in need.

The cost will be around $300,000 per year, said Cairns.

“We are getting there towards our goal. But there is no way a kid can learn on an empty stomach.”

BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

The City of Langley would like more than lip service in return for its contribution to Port Met-ro Vancouver’s overpass combo project — an undertaking which saw three railway overpasses built along its borders, but noth-ing within the municipality itself.

The City contributed $8.3 mil-lion to the project, which was completed last fall with the open-ing of the Mufford overpass. It’s a fi gure that works out to about $307 per resident. By comparison, they say, neighbouring Langley Township and Surrey each con-tributed about $55 per capita.

Now it’s time for Port Metro to step up and be a good corporate citizen, City of Langley Mayor Ted Schaffer told Rhona Hunter, di-rector of infrastructure sustain-

ability for Port Metro Vancouver.At council’s May 25 meeting,

Hunter provided an update about the corporation’s Deltaport 2 project, noting that, despite the lack of a port facility in Langley City, the expansion will create jobs for local residents.

Twenty per cent of goods enter-ing Canada, do so through Port Metro Vancouver, Hunter said. It is the largest port in Canada and the fourth largest on the conti-nent.

But it was local infrastructure that Langley City council mem-bers wanted to discuss.

Following Hunter’s presenta-tion, councillors peppered her with questions about the corpo-ration’s plans for future contribu-tions to the City.

When the overpass project was fi rst presented to council,

the City was promised three electronic signs, to be placed in key locations where drivers approaching the railway tracks would be warned of an approaching train and could re-route accord-ingly.

To date, those signs have not materialized, noted Councillor Dave Hall.

The City has already sent a let-ter to the manager of the project, demanding that they be installed.

Councillor Rudy Storteboom commented that the irony is not lost on him when he sees a sign asking him to turn off his engine to help the environment as train-loads of coal rattle past, bound for factories in China and, many suggest, spilling coal dust along the way.

With more and longer trains ex-pected to pass through the com-munity in the coming decade, Storteboom wondered whether Port Metro would be willing to

contribute an air monitoring sta-tion.

However the mayor is thinking much bigger.

“You’re creating jobs, sure. But what are you doing for this commu-nity?” he asked Hunt-er.

Schaffer pointed out that a car dealership

which recently opened in the City provided $10,000 to plant trees in the City.

“I don’t see Port Metro knocking on our door, saying they want to help with the new Timms Centre.”

In fact, Schaffer told The Times, he’d like to see Port Metro contrib-ute a share of funds toward the construction of a bridge over at least one of the City’s three major railway crossings — 200 Street, Fraser Highway or the Bypass.

“I feel we’re being pushed around,” said Schaffer.

“With large corporations, small cities always get pushed around.”

Hunter noted there are a num-

ber of programs to which the City can apply for funding.

“Do we have to chase you down?” Schaffer asked.

Hunter replied that Port Metro has been discussing options for reinvestment and “community legacy.”

“I’m confi dent we will be able to acquire funds and deliver (ser-vices),” said Hunter.

“I somewhat disagree,” replied Schaffer.

Hunter told council she would look into the status of the warn-ing signs and get back to the City.

Schaffer said during a later con-versation that he didn’t think Hunter was in a position to be able to answer many of the questions put to her.

Council had expected to hear from Cliff Stewart, vice presi-dent of infrastructure, but he was giving a similar presentation to Township council that evening.

“I look forward to Mr. Stewart having a conversation with our CAO,” said Schaffer on May 25.

FRANK BUCHOLTZTimes Reporter

The proposed change in Langley provincial electoral boundaries has prompted a re-sponse from Fort Lang-ley-Aldergrove MLA

and deputy premier Rich Coleman, as well as from the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce.

Few other Langley residents bothered to comment on the

proposed boundar-ies, which would split Coleman’s existing rid-ing into two, and add large areas of Abbots-ford to each of the two ridings. They would be divided by Highway 1,

according to the com-mission’s original pro-posal.

The proposed shifts are due to population growth, as the com-mission’s mandate is to create ridings that

are roughly equal in population, except for several large, far-fl ung northern ridings.

According to the Electoral Boundaries Commission website, there were only four other comments from Langley. That contrasts with hundreds of comments from Hope residents, who are concerned that their area will be split away from an existing rid-ing in Chilliwack and attached to a riding including Merritt and several other interior communities.

Coleman proposed to the commission on May 26 that Abbots-ford not be included in any Langley ridings. Instead, he is suggest-ing that the area east of 264 Street, which includes urban Alder-grove, be attached to two Abbotsford rid-ings. The portion north of Highway 1 should be added to Abbotsford West, while south of Highway 1, he suggests inclusion in Abbots-ford South.

He also recommends that two portions of his existing riding go

to the new Langley riding — an area of Willoughby north of 72 Avenue and south of Highway 1, as far east as 208 Street; and the area east of 216 Street and west of 232 Street, south of 56 Avenue. This would include all of Murrayville.

“I do know that peo-ple in Aldergrove do have a common com-munity with people in Abbotsford,” he said in the submission. “In fact, 264 Street is probably the best line to use to move pop-ulation from Langley into Abbotsford, with the least disruption to Langley overall.”

He had told The Times in April that he was concerned about the lack of common concerns between people in South Lang-ley near the Surrey border and those in Abbotsford.

He also noted that the proposed ridings divide both Langley and Abbotsford.

In addition to his comments about the Langley ridings, Cole-man also proposed that the ridings further

east in the Fraser Val-ley respect municipal boundaries as much as possible, and that Hope be included in a Chilli-wack-Hope riding.

The Langley chamber also spoke against the proposed new bound-aries. President Kris-tine Simpson said in a letter to the commis-sion that “proposed east-west divisions impose signifi cant challenges on elected offi cials representing multiple municipali-ties.”

She noted that the two Langleys are mem-bers of Metro Vancou-ver, while Abbotsford is part of the Fraser Valley Regional Dis-trict. The two Langleys are part of TransLink as well — Abbotsford is not.

The chamber rec-ommends electoral boundaries with more focus on a north/south alignment.

Public input on the proposed boundary changes took place in April and May. The commission is now preparing a fi nal report, which will go to the B.C. Legislature.

Conservation offi cers don’t believe the cou-gar poses a risk to public safety and say this is the only killing of livestock that the COS knows of in Langley.

The Anderlinis think there may have been a cougar passing through their area a while back when their mares started screaming in the middle of the night.

They don’t think they have coyotes nearby.Despite the death of the yearling, Sonja

doesn’t want people to fear going to Campbell Valley Park or anywhere else in south Langley.

“Be aware of your surroundings and know what to do if you do see a cougar, but don’t let this stop you from living life,” she said.

Cougars rarely go after horses, but it is ad-vised to keep smaller livestock like goats, lla-mas and sheep inside at night.

To report a confl ict with wildlife that threat-ens public safety call 1-877-952-7277.

IF YOU SEE A COUGAR

• Arm yourself with rocks or sticks as weapons. Crouch down as little as pos-sible when bending down to pick up things off of the ground.

• If a cougar attacks, fi ght back. Convince the cougar you are a threat and not prey. Use anything you can fi nd as a weapon. Focus your attack on the cougar’s face and eyes.

CPR was initiated on the victim, and he was transported to hospital in grave condition. He later died.

“One person has died as a result of this incident,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Largy on Monday night.

Blood was also visible on the sus-pect’s clothing as he was arrested.

Integrated Homicide Investigation Team Sgt. Stephanie Ashton said the suspect is known to police.

Yellow police tape remained up until Tuesday in the area where the stabbing occurred, as well as an area to the west of the hotel, while IHIT investigated. The dead man is be-lieved to have been in his 20s.

His name won’t be released until next of kin have been notifi ed, said Ashton.

The two men were in an alterca-tion of some sort before the suspect started stabbing the victim, said Ashton.

Buying a house? Protect yourself.A recent case discusses the frailties of house inspections and the complex body of rules relating to hidden defects in residential dwellings.

Peter and Anne (names changed) were looking for a house for their young family. Peter and his dad found one they liked in Chilliwack, not far from where Peter’s dad lived. An offer of $1 million was accepted by the owners, the Millers. The offer was subject to the buyer getting and approving an inspec-tion report against, in effect, any costly or significant defects.

The buyer’s inspector identified some defi-ciencies (nothing major) and the inspection condition was removed.

Some days afterwards, Peter’s dad heard through the grapevine that mould and rot had been found in the building a few years earlier during an insurance claim investiga-tion.

The Millers rebuffed attempts for a more extensive examination and said the insur-ance claim problem had been fixed. They also refused to set aside money from the sale pro-ceeds to deal with any problems and threat-ened to pocket the deposit if the sale didn’t go through. So the purchase was completed, with Peter and Anne telling the Millers they’d do a detailed inspection and give the Millers an estimate of the repair costs.

The house was discovered to have wide-spread rot and mould in the outside walls due to two ongoing water problem areas. The repair costs to replace the cladding and some framing was over $140,000.

The court reviewed the significant obstacles that a disappointed buyer must overcome to recover damages for defects in a finished house (where there’s no misrepresentation by the seller). If a reasonable inspection by a qualified person would have brought the

defect to light, “buyer beware” generally applies and the buyer has no recourse. Even if the defect was not reasonably detectable upon inspection (i.e. was “latent” not “pat-ent”), the buyer cannot get damages unless he can show (a) the seller was aware of it, or was reckless as to its existence, and (b) the defect makes the house dangerous or unfit for human habitation.

Here, the court decided the Millers were responsible for the buyer’s repair costs and part of their legal costs.

The defects couldn’t be revealed by a normal inspection because inspectors cannot conduct invasive measures like drilling test holes or removing foam insulation. The Millers, how-ever, were aware of the water and mould problems and had previously been told a proper repair would cost over $50,000. Yet they made only superficial repairs and were reckless as to whether the underlying prob-lem had been fixed. The court also decided the defects made the building dangerous and unfit for human habitation.

The court noted that, in their property disclo-sure statement, the Millers answered “no” to the question of whether they were aware of any moisture and/or water problems in the wall. In light of their awareness of past moisture issues and without any reasonable basis for believing such issues had been fixed, this statement amounted to a fraudulent mis-representation.

Although an inspection won’t necessarily reveal every defect, it’s worth doing since you won’t recover the costs of fixing any prob-lems that an inspection would have revealed.

A licensed marijuana grow-op went up in smoke inside a rural home in south Langley on Saturday, May 23.

Around 1 a.m., Township fi refi ghters were called to the fi re in the 2100 block of 216 Street. Heavy smoke was showing through the roof of the large older home.

Three fi re halls were brought in, including

water tankers, because there are no hydrants in that area, said assistant fi re chief Bruce Fer-guson.

Two people and their dog, who were believed to be living in the home, were not injured in the blaze.

The fi re doesn’t appear suspicious. The blaze was fairly easy to contain.

Traffi c on 208 Street is increasingly congested as Langley grows. The Township is looking into accelerating widening of the busy route from two into four lanes.


DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

The cost of widening busy 208 street ahead of schedule is currently being calculated by Langley Township staff, who expect to have a detailed es-timate for council by the summer.

In a May 21 email, Paul Cordeiro, the Township manager of transportation engineering, said staff “are currently undertaking a conceptual design of the corridor to evaluate the cost and budget implications of widening the corridor to the ulti-mate width [of four lanes].”

Cordeiro was responding to a letter to the Town-ship from a resident of 208 Street, Bruce Jones, asking about an election promise by Mayor Jack Froese to possibly speed up expanding 208 from two into four lanes.

Currently, the work is being done piecemeal by developers building along the route, but in a press conference shortly before winning re-elec-tion, Froese said it might be time to speed things up and look at widening 208 Street without wait-ing for developers to fund the improvements.

In Jones’ letter, which appeared in The Times’ May 20 edition, he praised the Froese proposal, calling it a great idea that would ease stress for commuters and residents.

“Having the Township head up the project would defi nitely speed up the process; instead of waiting for fi ve to seven years [to complete the transition to four lanes], its benefi ts could be re-alized in two,” Jones wrote.

In his email to Jones, Cordeiro said the concep-tual plan to widen the road will cover 208 Street between 64 and 80 Avenues, and will include the estimated cost of buying land, building roads and greenways, along with installing street lighting and traffi c signals.

The section between 80 and 84 Avenues will be handled by developers, Cordeiro said.

Froese also promised to widen the 208 Street freeway overpass to four lanes within his next term of offi ce.

Cordeiro said the Township has invited builders to submit proposals for the design and widening of the freeway overpass.

Legal grow-op goes up in smoke

A ‘Snap-On’ tool chest, the only one of its kind sold in B.C., was stolen during a break-in of a vacant home on Morrison Crescent on May 14. The tool chest is worth around $10,000.

An 18-inch long, double-sided dagger was stolen from a home in the 20200 block of Michaud Crescent. The dagger was kept in a brown leather sheath. A pho-to of the dagger is on The Times’ website.

If you have information about either of these thefts. call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

With the support of the Belmont Elementary students, staff, and parents, Mme. Starr and Browne’s Grade 2 French Immersion class raised $872.90 to help the people affected by the earthquakes in Nepal. Last month, students delivered the cheque to Food for the Hungry. With the matching contribution from the federal government, this means the class generated $1,745.80 for Nepal.

The sounds of taiko drumming fi lled the gym at the Topham to Tohoku, a taiko drumming con-cert held on Saturday, May 16 to support the 2011 Japan tsunami orphans. The concert, held at To-pham Elementary, raised around $2,000 for those impacted by the devastating 2011 tsunami.

The taiko drumming group was formed from the Japanese immersion program at Topham Ele-mentary. It is an after school program for Grades 5 to 7, allowing them to explore the traditional Japanese drumming.

The Langley Township fi re department wants to remind people that burning season is long over.

They have received and attended numerous burning complaints over the past few weeks and don’t want to fi ne anyone. Burning season ended April 30.

The next burning season is Sept. 1 to Oct. 31. It’s been a very dry May and a predicted hot

summer so the Township fi re department is urg-ing people to be careful.

Are single-family houses in Langley still affordable for home buyers??of the week

Questionwe asked you:Last Week

Langley Township has proposed a long-term capital program focused on adding bike routes throughout the municipality.

The wisdom of adding specifi ed bike routes which are separated from traffi c was rein-

forced on Sunday, when two members of a Whistler bike club were struck and killed along a rural section of High-way 99 near Mount Currie. A vehicle drove right into them and another club member, who survived. One of the two occupants of the vehicle was also killed.

Here in Langley, the volume of traffi c on busy roads can be a signifi cant challenge for cyclists, even when there are wide shoulders or bike lanes. Several years ago, a cyclist was killed on 200 Street near 83 Avenue when a driver crashed his car into him. There have been other serious injuries over the years.

The deaths came at the conclusion of Bike to Work Week, a time each year when people are encouraged to take up cycling. There are many good reasons to do so. Cy-cling promotes better health, has minimal impact on the environment and can be a relaxed way to travel.

Many cyclists take the sport very seriously and do train-ing rides almost every day. Many of them use Langley streets for that purpose, and they often travel in large groups.

Cyclists need to be wary of vehicle traffi c. High-visibility gear, mirrors and a lack of distractions are all important tools for the cyclist.

Vehicle drivers need to exercise patience when encoun-tering cyclists, who sometimes have no choice but to ride on the roadways. Motorists also need to put away dis-tractions and pay attention to what’s going on in front of them.

The roads in Langley are numerous enough to accommo-date cars, trucks and cyclists. At the same time, there are more separated bike and pedesytrian paths built each year, and these are the safest alternatives for cyclists to use.

Let’s hope there is no repeat of this terrible tragedy in other communities.

Oh, how things have changed.Fifty years ago the bicycles were lined up

thick outside a Chilliwack elementary school. A photograph that ran on the front page of a 1964 edition of the Chilliwack Progress shows

nearly a hundred bikes neatly stacked in bike racks.Today, we sponsor a special week to encourage people to

bike to work or school.Bike to Work Week had its beginnings in Victoria in 2005

as a way to encourage people to leave their automobiles at home and opt for a two-wheeled commute.

The program has enjoyed success. Last year more than 25,000 people from 44 communities took part. Collectively, they saved an estimated $61,000 in gas, burned 28.6 mil-lion calories and prevented more that 207,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.

This year, organizers hoped to expand the program to include schools.

“Riding to school builds physical activity into kids’ daily routine, supports in-class concentration, and provides a foundation for healthy lifestyles and a lifelong love of cy-cling,” they argue. “More students cycling to school reduc-es traffi c congestion and makes your school a safer place. Plus, it’s fun and also helps the environment.”

In 1964, Chilliwack students didn’t need to be told that. All they knew was that cycling was an exhilarating and liberating way to get to and from school. It was quick, con-venient, and a graduating step to maturity.

Today, nary a bike can be seen on most school grounds. Those students brave enough to bring one have them locked inside steel containers on site to prevent theft.

Instead of bikes, cars and trucks are the vehicles that choke the approaches to school. They line up early, vying for position as dismissal time approaches.

There are, of course, many reasons for this shift. But it’s not until we take a look back that we see just how far we’ve come — and how much we’ve lost.

— Chilliwack Progress

Changes in boundaries not necessarily good

I wonder if people are becom-ing immune to the near-constant change in provincial and federal electoral boundaries.

Both levels of government ap-point commissions to adjust boundaries every 10 years or so. As Langley is in one of the fast-est-growing areas of the province, adjustments here are recommend-ed each time the commissions meet. Inevitably, more MLA and MPs are added — a practice many citizens feel is wasteful.

At the provincial level, MLAs have rep-resented the two Langleys and no other communities since the early 1980s. Prior to that, Langley was the name of a riding, but it often included portions of Surrey or Matsqui (now Abbotsford). There was no Langley riding before 1966, when Hunter Vogel was elected as the fi rst Langley MLA.

Langley had been part of the huge Delta riding until that time. Delta included Rich-mond, Surrey, Delta, White Rock and the two Langleys, and even with two members (as it had from 1956-66), it contained far more people than many other B.C. ridings.

Since the 1991 election, there has been a Langley and a Fort Langley-Aldergrove rid-ing. The latest commission looking at pro-vincial boundaries is proposing to shrink the size of the Langley riding, and split Fort Langley-Aldergrove into two, adding signif-icant portions of Abbotsford to each of the changed ridings.

A few people (myself included) have made submissions to the commission, suggesting that the boundaries more closely resemble municipal boundaries.

MLA Rich Coleman is suggesting taking the portion of Langley east of 264 Street out of his Fort Lang-ley-Aldergrove riding (essentially removing Aldergrove), and putting that portion of the Township into two Abbotsford ridings. He also suggests other adjustments in the western part of Langley, which would place much of Willoughby in the Langley riding.

On the federal scene, there will be new riding boundaries in this fall’s

federal election. Mark Warawa has been the only MP ever elected in the Langley riding, which was fi rst contested in 2004 and is made up solely of the two Langleys.

He will be running in the new Langley- Aldergrove riding, which includes a por-tion of Abbotsford.

Langley City and a small portion of the Township has been added to the new Cloverdale-Langley City riding, which in-cludes Cloverdale, Clayton and a portion of Surrey west as far as 144 Street.

Langley has been split between two MPs on several occasions in the past, but I think it is safe to say that most Langley residents have been much happier with one MP rep-resenting the entire community. I believe it has allowed Warawa to focus on the needs of Langley in Ottawa, and help channel fed-eral funds here for a variety of projects , in-cluding the rail overpasses, Nicomekl River bridge and water and sewer improvements.

Most people don’t really care what rid-ing they live in, but it has been to Lang-ley’s benefi t to have two MLAs and one MP speak up for this community. We will be losing that over the next few years.

Meeting tone disappointingEditor: I was very disappointed at the tone of the spe-

cial general meeting, held on Tuesday, May 26 at the Lang-ley Seniors Centre. I am one of the group of concerned members who questioned their actions that appeared to be noncompliant with the bylaws and constitution of the Langley Senior Resource Society.

According to the board, our concern for the centre put us into the category of being bullies for the rest of the meet-ing. We want the membership to know that our petition “asked for a meeting to review the actions of the current

board of directors, where set actions did not follow the by-laws as listed in the Senior Resource Society Constitution, dated Oct. 17, 1995, as well as review of staffi ng changes and iniquities during the last six months.”

However, the board called the meeting and set the agen-da. We were very shocked that it proposed a resolution for the removal of the board. We did not ask for, nor did we want such a drastic step as they took.

Camp helps teens

A toll on seniors

Editor: In Vancouver on June 18, a fundraiser is being held for a summer leadership camp called The Yes.

The Yes is a charitable society that operates in Van-couver, and one that has changed the lives of many teenagers, myself included. The interesting thing about The Yes is that it operates on principles of co-operation, leadership, and respect. Too often it seems these principles are void or corrupt in today’s world, particularly in the youngest generation.

I have seen fi rsthand how The Yes changes this status quo. At The Yes, teenagers are free from the emotional and social boundaries they are placed in at home and at school. In a community of love and respect, these people are invited to take charge of their lives, make the best friends they’ve ever had, and become confi -dent, compassionate members of society.

The Yes is also sponsored by several co-ops in the Lower Mainland such as VanCcity, and most teens who go to The Yes are fully sponsored, with no extracurric-ular or grade standards for application, by institutions such as these.

The fundraiser is looking for silent auction and cash donations. Profi ts from these proceeds will go towards sending more kids to camp as well as other camp-re-lated costs.

To donate or for more information, contact camp di-rector Chelsea Lake at [email protected].

SAMANTHA PETERS,LANGLEY

Editor: I have sent the following letter to Fort Lang-ley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman.

I am an 11-year resident of Fort Langley. My husband and I are seniors. We are retired from our “day jobs” and are on fi xed incomes.

I have just had a look at my recent TREO bill and fi nd it is over $56 already, and it is not even the end of May. Maybe it is small change for many, but to us it is a big dent in our disposable income.

We regularly travel to Vancouver, Port Coquitlam and Maple Ridge to visit family, and for medical services. We fi nd these tolls increasingly onerous.

With the recent announcement of the closing of the Pattullo Bridge to most traffi c for a year and a half, the future looks even more bleak. Not only are alternative routes to avoid tolls being shut off, but also the traffi c volume will be unpleasant. And we have to pay it — both ways.

We’re just regular folks — senior folks — but if we are fi nding it diffi cult to make ends meet, we know we are not the only ones feeling the pinch.

Actually, I think the pinch has broken the skin.These are diffi cult times and if there is some way you

can ease the expense of bridge travel, it would be appre-ciated. I suggest now would be a time when you could reduce the tolls by half. You’ll get an increase in the vol-ume of traffi c anyway, and you can look like a hero.

Thanks for all you do for B.C. citizens.MYRNA PFEIFER,

FORT LANGLEY

Editor: The Ride 2 Survive riders made 41A Avenue in Langley their training destination on Saturday, May 30.

This entirely volunteer fund-raising team donates every penny they raise to cancer research. There are no admin-istration costs involved. This year’s efforts are dedicated to brain tumour research.

One of the riders, Steve Parsons, lost his son (my grand-son) to brain cancer. Had the diagnosis been delivered to-

day, the treatment available may have saved his life. I have survived metastatic colon cancer for eight years,

thanks to people like the riders who came here on Satur-day.

The courage, time and help these volunteers freely give is appreciated more than we survivors can express.

A community service project that started with the Aldergrove Sev-enth-day Adventist Church has grown into a community-wide tra-dition.

Acts of Kindness has been ren-ovating residential homes in the Aldergrove area for 12 years now. These have been major renova-tions, worth up to $100,000 each in labour and materials, which have made a signifi cant differ-ence in the lives of the families selected each year.

Billed as “Ex-treme Home Re-pairs” they have been performed over the course of two weeks prior to the Victoria Day holiday Monday, on which date the homeowners were brought home for the “Big Reveal.”

This year the homes selected were for the Laura Canessa family and the Mike and Misty Shuffl ebotham family.

While they were smaller than the usual single residence chosen each year they were still major renova-tions for both families.

And both families were over-whelmed with the quality of the work performed.

For the Canessa family, single mother Laura and her sons Dillon, Nick and Lucas, the biggest issue was water leaks through the stuc-co and mortar exterior which had caused mold problems inside. This work was completed but it also in-cluded new paint work inside and out, electrical upgrades, and a new gas fi replace.

For the Shuffl ebothams it had started out as a request from Mike’s mother to provide wheelchair ac-cess for Mike to his ensuite wash-room, but it escalated into another fairly major upgrade.

Mike, who is severely handicapped due to a workplace accident, now has wheelchair access to all of the home, including his front door, and a sunken living room was raised to the same level as the rest of the house.

Again, there was signifi cant paint work inside and out and remodeling of the bedrooms, electrical upgrades and a new gas fi replace.

Aldergrove Seventh-day Adventist Church pastor Mike Dauncey’s wife, Marcy, said it all came down to the reward of seeing the joy it brings to people’s lives.

“It’s very moving to see what the acts of kindness can do… it’s our way

of paying it forward.”However, it has now grown far be-

yond the church and its member-ship, said one of the project co-lead-ers, Lorne Brownmiller.

“The community is taking owner-ship of the Extreme Home Repairs, as half of the 130 volunteers who worked on the two projects this year were not from our church,” said Brownmiller.

“We are getting calls from the community and businesses who want to help because they also see the value of the work performed.”

This year Brownmiller said Jason Speer of Power Pros was invaluable in performing the electrical work at both homes, Isaac Mangone has stepped up to devote construction expertise and Sherry Webb of Nu-fl oors has undertaken the role of leading the decorating team.

They are just three of the many valued volunteers, including one man who took two week’s holiday from his job to devote every single day to this year’s Extreme Home Re-pairs.

“We couldn’t have done it with-out this community support,” said Brownmiller.

Father and daughter team Tim and Amy Kikkert were the top fundraisers again at this year’s Westcoast Motorcycle Ride to Live for prostate can-cer research that took place on Sunday, May 31.

The Langley father/daughter duo has been raising funds to-gether for fi ve years now, but this was the fi rst year Amy rode her own bike, said Tim.

They raised $6,895 for the fi ght for a cure, with the total raised from the day breaking records at $175,000.

The Kikkerts have raised $30,000 towards prostate can-cer research in fi ve years.

More than 100 riders took to the roads around Vancouver and the Fraser Valley and fol-lowed that up at a show and shine that attracted 150 vehi-cles and bikes.

Bro Jake emceed the day.

The Kikkerts got involved in fundraising because Tim’s dad is a 12-year survivor and he has also had two uncles im-pacted.

“Amy has always been a pas-senger but has now bought a motorcycle and I’m currently training her with the hope that she’ll be by my side this year,” said Tim a month before the ride.

To learn more about the event, go to ridetolive.ca.

Langley’s Tim Kikkert and his daughter, Amy, were the top fundraisers at this year’s Ride for Life fundraiser for prostate can-cer, contributing nearly $6,900. The duo have been raising money for the cause for the past fi ve years.

Barb SytkoLangley Times, Advertising Sales [email protected]

I am happy to report that the improvements and furnishings are very near complete and our

staff are now working in the new premises at 8047 199th Street. New owners have now taken possession of our former location and we wish them much success. Please watch your email and our social media for announcement of a grand opening that we plan to host in the very near future. We also greatly appreciate the efforts of Dennis Martini of Martini Construction, and all of his tradespeople, to complete the construction in a very short period of time! The Board and staff look forward to welcoming you to view the larger and more suitable facilities, and we are all proud of the asset for the Chamber well into the future.In preparation for the Annual General Meeting to be held next month, the Board has passed a preliminary budget for the coming year. I wish to advise that we will not, at this time, be requesting a dues increase. While the acquisition of the new property was possible without the need for mortgage financing it did diminish a considerable portion of our reserve funds and all of the proceeds of the sale of the Glover Road property. We will be unable to determine the actual increase in operating costs immediately and are very confident we have sufficient resources to continue into the next fiscal year at the current membership rate levels. Also on the agenda for the AGM is the election of Officers and Directors to form the 2015-2016 Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee is seeking nominations for individuals to fill the following positions: Vice-President, Community Director for South Langley and 4 Directors-At-Large. Nomination Forms are available by calling Lynn at the Chamber Office and they must be received no later than 5:00 pm Monday June 8. Basic criteria for eligible candidates are:• To be prepared to commit 10 to 15 hours per month for

Chamber work including attendance at Board Meetings and other Chamber events

• To represent and have the ability to speak on behalf of a member-in-good-standing

• Free of heavy commitments in other organizations which could involve a conflict of interest, and

• Be self-motivated and have the ability to lead other people in challenging work projects

I certainly hope these requirements do not discourage any interested individuals, and wish to assure you that the Board is assisted very well by our well qualified staff who are responsible for ensuring the Board’s work program is completed, and supporting our various committees and task forces.We also ask that our members keep an eye out for the annual survey to be distributed shortly and that you take a few minutes to complete it. This is very important to assist the Board of Directors determine the program of work for the coming term and for identifying the types of programs, speakers and topics you would like us to try to line up.Last week Secretary-Treasurer Paul van Koll and Director Tammy Rea joined Lynn Whitehouse and me at the BC Chamber AGM and Conference in Prince George. I am pleased to advise that we successfully achieved the support of Chambers from throughout the province for our resolutions on Changes to the Property Transfer Tax, Collection of Duty and Taxes at the Border, Expansion of the Inter-municipal Business License Program and Online Voting in Municipal Elections. These will now become part of the BC Chamber Lobby to the Provincial and Federal Governments. Complete copies of the approved resolutions will be posted on the Chamber website within the next few weeks once all amendments have been finalized and approved. I am happy to advise that I will be continuing to work on behalf of BC businesses at the provincial level as a member of the BC Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.

Before making a technology purchase, entrepreneurs should do their homework. Many major IT implementations such as introducing a new ERP system can go off the rails because the product isn’t a good fit with a company’s needs.

The risks are also increased by the large number of products competing for your dollars.

Follow these 10 steps to help ensure your tech purchase turns into a profitable investment—not a money pit. If you lack the required expertise, hire an experienced independent consultant to advise you.

1. Prepare a strategic plan for your business if you haven’t already done so. The plan should include a vision for the future and an action plan for achieving it.

2. Make a list of problems with your current operations and technology solutions. Identify perceived opportunities for improvement.

3. Create a “needs assessment” for new technology systems. Be sure to base it on your strategic plan and to include implementation needs, such as employee training and any needed re-engineering of business processes.

4. Assess potential costs and available resources, keeping in mind that you will have to maintain your systems and update them in the coming years.

5. Use your needs assessment to create a request for proposals to send to vendors. Be sure to

consider smaller players, not just major suppliers.

6. Score how well vendors meet each requirement, and determine the total cost of ownership of each proposal, including costs for licensing, professional services and maintenance. Get more information about the vendors by seeking references from other companies.

7. Invite your top picks to present their products. Provide them with a “demo script” covering the requirements they must address during their presentation.

8. Involve employees throughout the process to help ensure their needs are met and that they take ownership of the new system.

9. With employees’ help, develop an action plan for implementing the technology you choose.

10. Monitor implementation and impacts.

ONE DELICATE DECISION: To Lease or Buy Your SpaceCourtesy of Business Development Bank of Canada ~ www.bdc.ca One of the trickier decisions many entrepreneurs face is choosing between buying and leasing their place of business.There are advantages and disadvantages to both options and, like much else in business, the decision requires lots of analysis and planning.BDC area manager Jean-Philippe Ménard says a well-financed property purchase can free up working capital that can then be used to build the business.“It’s about balancing growth with cash flow,” says Ménard, who is based in BDC’s office in Longueuil, just south of Montreal. “At BDC, we often finance those kinds of purchases because we want to make sure our clients will have enough working capital to grow.”Because of low interest rates, many entrepreneurs have decided to buy in recent years and have seen considerable market appreciation. Besides making a good investment, they benefit from the freedom of not having to deal with a landlord when it comes to rent increases or leasehold improvements.However, Ménard cautions that “there’s a wake-up call coming” for some entrepreneurs, in the form of rising interest rates. He notes that many younger businesspeople have never experienced the costs that come with higher rates.And the possibility of higher rates isn’t the only reason to think twice before buying.Real estate owner and manager Guy Lever recalls lending money to a client to buy a property that the entrepreneur thought was a great deal.Unfortunately, he ran into a variety of cost overruns while trying to renovate the space to suit his purposes. “In the end, the company was almost on the verge of bankruptcy,” says Lever, who has 30 years of real estate investment experience.Lever, whose real estate holdings include an office building in the Montreal area for which BDC provided the first mortgage, offered

several examples of circumstances when it can make sense to buy. Among them are the following.• You are generating ample cash flow

and have a stable business.• You need to make a lot of leasehold

improvements. “If a manufacturer, for example, needs to invest $1 million in leasehold improvements in a building they can buy for less, it makes sense to buy the property.”

• You have real estate experience or are willing to hire someone to manage your property. “Real estate is a business in itself,” Lever says. “There’s a learning curve that you just can’t acquire overnight.”

• You’re in an industry with specific technology or security needs.

On the other hand, Ménard offered examples of situations where it can make sense for entrepreneurs to lease. Among them are the following.• You’re running a start-up. “Start-

ups are often unable to commit a lot of capital to a building, so they will most likely go for a lease.”

• Your business does not have precise space needs and can thus use almostany leased premises.

• Your business is growing and you can’t forecast short-term space needs. “If they buy a building that has already maximized its full potential, they will not be able to grow.”

• You can move to new premises without much difficulty, if necessary. Ménard points out that some entrepreneurs don’t want to make a long-term commitment to a location. But he cautions that flexibility can work both ways: A landlord can refuse to renew a lease once it expires. That forces businesses to relocate, with all the costs associated with doing so.

• You don’t have enough working capital to both grow your business and buy a property.

BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

They took fi rst place at the fi fth and fi nal Langley Has Talent com-petition earlier this spring.

But anyone who missed their prize-winning performance will get another chance to see Her Brothers play live, when they take to the stage at Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley on Friday, June 12.

The band, comprised of three Aldergrove brothers — Gabe, 23, Josh, 21 and Levi, 15 — performed Locked Out of Heaven, Uptown Funk and Happy for the crowds at Christian Life Assembly.

During the two nights of com-petition, they wanted to play upbeat and engaging songs that would be immediately recogniz-able to the audience.

This time around, however, the brothers will play original music from their debut CD, She, which was released last January.

It’s music, they hope, that, in addition to captivating their au-dience, will get people talking about an important issue that is near and dear to their hearts — women’s rights.

“We want to create an experi-ence that leaves people having a different conversation than when they came in,” said Jonathan Pen-ner, the siblings’ father.

That conversation usually be-gins with a discussion about the band’s name.

“It’s an unusual enough name that people will ask. I love that question,” said Gabe, lead singer of Her Brothers.

In its simplest form, the answer has to do with their youngest sib-ling, 12-year-old Tiana.

For Gabe, Josh and Levi, being Tiana’s older brothers comes with the responsibility of ensuring their little sister is given the right message about how she deserves to be treated by all the men in her life, now and in the future.

“As her brothers, we create her social norms,” said Gabe.

The band hopes to inspire men to stand up for, encourage, and become positive male infl uences in the lives of women who either don’t have a voice or simply can’t speak for themselves.

From that perspective, they say, the name Her Brothers just made sense.

The three are just normal guys, they say. And all of them have had their heads turned a time or

two by a pretty girl. But during a visit to southeast

Asia, Gabe saw an extreme ver-sion of what many women are forced to endure at the hands of men. The treatment of women and girls that he witnessed — specifi cally sex traffi cking — gave him pause.

What if that were his own sis-ter, he thought.

As musicians, the brothers knew they had the perfect vehi-cle for getting their message out.

“Women have been standing up for years for their own rights, when men stand up for that equality, something unique hap-pens,” said Gabe.

“I think it transcends equality,” said Jonathan. “It’s about uplifting and actually celebrating women.”

“She” carries that message through, with song titles like

Beautiful, Love Over Hate and Fam-ily Tree.

Gabe wrote or co-wrote every song on the disc. He also plays guitar, bass, drums and key-boards, sings, writes and produc-es.

In fact, all the Penner siblings are self-taught, multi-instrument musicians.

Josh plays guitar and bass, Levi plays drums and keyboards. He also sings, writes and does graph-ic design.

Tiana sings and is learning the piano.

This collective passion for mu-sic was passed down to the sib-lings’ by mom, Teresa, who sings and plays guitar and by Jonathan, who sat in with his sons on key-board when they competed in Langley Has Talent.

Although they are all accom-

plished musicians in their own right, it is probably Levi who has left both his older brothers most in awe of his innate musical abil-ity.

Several years ago, Gabe and Josh were jamming with a friend. Gabe was on lead guitar, Josh on bass.

They were playing a Ramones song, recalled Gabe, but their friend, who was on drums, couldn’t quite get what the broth-ers were looking for.

When the drummer got up to take a break, Levi who had been sitting and listening, decided to have a go. He sat down at the kit and nailed it in one take.

He was six. Another day, Gabe wandered

downstairs to fi nd his youngest brother playing All By Myself on the piano.

“I said, ‘Where did you hear that?’”

Levi shrugged and replied that he had no idea.

The teenager counts his parents as his greatest musical infl uence — in large part because they’ve always asked him to examine his choices.

“Whenever I create something (their question is) what’s the pur-pose?” said Levi.

“They’re always pushing me forward — it’s always ‘why,’ not ‘what.’”

“Not pushing, like one of the Honey Boo Boo parents,” Tiana interjects.

“But encouraging,” she adds, once the laughter has died down.

“When I’m listening to a song, dad asks, ‘What is the meaning of that? Why are you listening to it?”

And why enter Langley Has Tal-ent?

Although Her Brothers entered LHT to compete, the event also presented an opportunity for the band to meet other artists and potentially arrange collabora-tions.

The band was looking into the possibility of welcoming anoth-er Langley Has Talent act to the stage at Chief Sepass on June 12. Details were still being worked out at The Times press deadline.

Her Brothers, from left, Levi, Gabe and Josh Penner, will perform a concert featuring original music from their album, She, at Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley on Friday, June 12.

It’s an ambitious and audacious operatic production, the likes of which Langley has not seen.

Written, composed and performed en-tirely by children aged 12 to 19 years old, OperaTion Youth is an initiative by the Langley Community Music School, which sought talented young people from the community at large and provided profes-sional mentorship in all aspects of an op-eratic stage production.

Participants received instruction in every aspect of the process, from story writing and music composition to set design, stage management, and orchestral and vocal performances.

After nearly two years, and hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of development, mentorship, interdisciplinary outreach, collaboration, and practice, two original one-act operas, entitled Two Cities and Sec-onds, Years, Forever, are ready to take the stage, in three performances, June 5 and 6, in LCMS’ Rose Gellert Hall.

“This OperaTion Youth project has been an exceedingly valuable and precious ex-perience for these young participants,” said LCMS principal Susan Magnusson.

“Rarely do young people of this age group get to be involved in this degree of com-plexity and engagement in a theatrical work, from initial story creation stage and music composition all the way to the per-formance.

“I hope that the public will come to the performances to encourage our young art-ists.”

The two operas are written, composed and performed entirely by local youth, some from the community at large and

some current or former LCMS students. Two Cities is a “Once-Upon-a-Time” tale

about a lonely giant, an endless ocean, a statue that grows people, and the bicker-ing citizens of Elegance and Poverty who decide that only war can settle their dif-ferences.

The story was written by 12-year-old li-brettist Jasmin Jeong, and set to music by sisters Samantha Lee (age 15) and Jasmine Lee (age 13), and features lead vocal roles sung by Stephen Duncan, Samantha Lee, Jasmine Lee, Emmalene Van Meel, and Ste-phen Loney.

The second opera will be Seconds, Years, Forever. It explores friendship and asks the question, can there be an equal amount of love among three people?

In this moving story of trust, betrayal and reconciliation, three lives are changed forever when long-kept secrets are fi nally revealed. This original work was written by librettist Lauren Trotzuk (age 19), with the musical score by young composers How-ard Chen (age 14) and Nathan Zemp (age 15). Vocalists Daniel Loney, Gillian Hagberg, and Sofi ja Ivanovic will perform the work.

These young people were selected through a competitive process, which was open to all youth in the community.

The stories were required to be devel-oped on a socially relevant theme suitable for a family audience.

The writers were mentored by profes-sional playwright/librettist/director Kico Gonzales-Risso.

The composers were mentored by pro-fessional composer/pianist Marcel Berg-mann, and the vocalists and the LCMS Orchestra were mentored under the direc-

tion of conductor Joel Stobbe and repeti-teur Anita Comba.

“Working with the young composers on

this unique project has been a very stim-ulating and interesting experience,” said Bergmann, OperaTion Youth’s musical and artistic director.

“Although they had to face many chal-lenges as they ventured into some new musical terrain — such as writing for singers and scoring for a chamber size orchestra — the fi nal results have ex-ceeded everybody’s expectations. I am sure that this invaluable and enriching creative endeavour will have a lasting musical impact on all of them.”

“Doing OperaTion Youth and watching our operas grow and come to fruition has really been an amazing experience for me, especially with the outstanding co-operation of our team,” said Jasmine Lee.

“OperaTion Youth helped me explore the extent of my skills in composition and performance,” added her sister, Sa-mantha.

“I worked with a wonderful team, and together we learned many things and had a great time.”

•••Performances are Friday June 5 at 7

p.m. and Saturday, June 6, at both 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for LCMS students.

This project has been supported in part with funding through the BC Arts Council and Metro Vancouver’s Cultur-al Grants, and is sponsored by Tom Lee Music.

The Fort Gallery’s next show, Drawn In, will run June 3 to 21.

‘Drawn In’ is a group ex-hibit by members of the Fort Gallery Artist Collec-tive showing diverse ways of using line drawing to push the limits of their in-dividual practices.

Drawing is a technical underpinning for many art-ists’ work.

Drawings can be direct and visceral or quietly meditative, from opera to lullaby.

They can represent the beginning of a process or be the work itself.

The opening reception for this show will be June

4, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., in conjunction with the June ‘First Thursday’ free com-munity arts event.

On the first Thursday of each month the Fort Gallery hosts visual artists, writers and poets, and musicians from the local community who share their gifts and creations. On June 4, they welcome local electric vio-linist Dan Huget.

Gallery hours are Wednes-day to Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. The Fort Gallery is lo-cated at 9048 Glover Rd. Call 604-888-7411.

Find them online at www.fortgallery.ca; on Twitter @FortGallery and on Face-book.

Violinist Dan Huget will be the guest artist at the Fort Gallery’s First Thursday event on June 4.

Authors Mark Forsythe and Greg Dickson have won fi rst prize in the British Columbia Historical Federa-tion’s Historical Writing Awards for their collaborative book, From the West Coast to the Western Front: Brit-ish Columbians and the Great War.

Both men received the B.C. Lieu-tenant-Governor’s Medal for Histor-ical Writing at an awards ceremony in Quesnel on May 23, as well as a $2,500 prize.

From the West Coast to the West-ern Front was published to mark the 100th anniversary of the begin-ning of the First World War.

In this compelling book, Forsythe, a Fort Langley resident and the for-mer host of CBC Radio’s mid-day show BC Almanac, teamed up with Dickson to compile stories, artifacts and photos sent in by BC Almanac listeners from across the province.

The result is a sweeping portrayal of that crucial chapter of B.C. histo-ry that reveals much about the spir-it and resilience of a people who survived one of history’s greatest disasters to build the province we have today.

Robert Budd took home the sec-ond prize (worth $1,500) for his book, Echoes of British Columbia: Voices From the Frontier.

Both books were released by Har-bour Publishing and are available for purchase on their website at harbourpublishing.com.

Travel Benefi ts For SeniorsOne of the best things about aging is having a lot more freedom to travel.

Travel companies and other businesses understand that Baby Boomers and other seniors are valuable customers and are rolling out the red carpet with a bevy of discounts and perks.

Some ways to secure deals on travel and other services.

• Read the fi ne print. Understand the details of senior discounts and compare them to other promotions offered to anyone, regardless of age. You may be able to get a better deal or combine offers if you’re not locked into a senior plan. Also, check the dates when deals are valid to ensure you can travel when you want to.

• Always carry proof of age. You do not want to miss out on a discount. Though being mistaken as younger could be a boost to your ego, it will not benefi t your bottom line.

• Explore airline perks. Men and women 55 and older may be eligible for “golden-agers” discounts at major airlines. You may need to speak with an airline representative to secure the discount. Seniors also can request special services, such as baggage assistance, priority seating and a ride to the gate, at the airport.

• Try negotiating with vendors. Local hotels or businesses may prove more fl exible than national chains. It never hurts to ask for a senior discount.

• Embrace fl exibility in scheduling. Travel during off-peak times when crowds will be small and rates may be lower.

GARY AHUJATimes Sports

Four years ago, running was a secondary sport, a way to stay in shape for Nick Co-lyn.

Back then, soccer was the focus and Co-lyn was a defender playing for Abbotsford Magnuson Ford in the B.C. High Perfor-mance League, the highest level of youth soccer in the province.

Colyn — then a Grade 8 student at Lang-ley Christian — ran cross-country and it was at a Langley district race where he caught the eye of Dave Hetherington, a teacher/coach at D.W. Poppy, as well as a long-time coach with the Langley Mus-tangs Track and Field Club.

“I just saw an excellent athlete,” ex-plained Hetherington.

“And a desire to win, there is no doubt about that.”

Hetherington saw the potential in Co-lyn as a middle distance runner and con-vinced the teenager to come out and give the track club a try.

So Colyn joined the Mustangs in his Grade 9 year and never looked back, even-tually quitting soccer to focus on his track pursuits.

“I knew that I liked distance running,” he said.

“And within one year of doing track, we just went with the fl ow and I made the B.C. team and I just took it from there.”

And it has proved to be a wise decision.Colyn has put together an impressive re-

sume in his short time in the sport.Last year, he was named the B.C. youth

male athlete of the year after winning gold in both the 3000m and 2000m stee-plechase events at the B.C. club champi-onships.

He also won silver at the Canadian Le-gion youth track and fi eld championships in the 2000m steeplechase, to go along with the bronze he won at the same event in 2013.

And Colyn, now a Grade 12 student at Langley Christian, enters this week’s B.C. high school track and fi eld championships as the defending provincial champion in the senior boys 2000m steeplechase event.

The championships begin tomorrow (Thursday) and run through Saturday at McLeod Athletic Park.

The steeplechase is one of three events Colyn is running in this week as he is also entered in the senior boys 1500m and 3000m races.

He warmed up for provincials by cap-turing medals in two of the three events last month at the Fraser Valley champi-onships, winning gold in the steeplechase with a time of 6:02.59 and bronze in the 1500m (4:05.24).

Going in as the defending champion is a role Colyn relishes.

“I look forward to it because there are al-ways new competitors,” he said.

“You never know (what the race) will be like.”

Hetherington calls Colyn the best ath-lete he has ever coached and said his pu-

pil’s times have been getting better as he battles back from an injury.

“He puts in 110 per cent, sometimes I have to pull him back,” the coach said.

Colyn committed to the Trinity Western Spartans cross-country and track team for next year.

He had looked at schools south of the border, but liked that Trinity Western is close to home, as well as the fact he felt a good connection with the team.

“I just thought Trinity was going to give me the best opportunity to grow in sports and academics,” Colyn added.

Following provincials, and before he joins the Spartans, Colyn hopes to qualify for the Western Canada Summer Games and the junior nationals this summer. Both competitions are in Alberta.

Colyn’s long term goal is to make the Ca-nadian national team.

Those hoping to go to South Korea this summer as members of Canada’s women’s volleyball team will make a stop in Langley fi rst next week.

The roster hopefuls for Canada’s entry in the 2015 World Universiade Games

are at a selection camp at the Langley Events Centre this week. It began on Mon-day and wraps up on Sun-day.

And among the 32 invi-tees, seven should feel right at home on the LEC court as they are members of the

Trinity Western Spartans volleyball team, the de-fending CIS national cham-pions.

Vying for roster spots will be middles Alicia Perrin and Katie Devaney, outside hit-ters Sophie Carpentier, Elly Wendel and Royal Richard-

son, setter Nikki Cornwall and libero Kristen Moncks.

Langley’s Ryan Hofer, who is also the Spartans head coach, will serve as the as-sociate head coach for Can-ada.

Once the team is selected, the fi nal roster will remain

in Langley and train until June 26. The team will then travel to South Korea to prepare for the World Uni-versiade Games, which run July 2 to July 11 in Gwangui.

Canada is in a pool with Thailand, Turkey and Zim-babwe.

Langley Christian’s Nick Colyn led from start to fi nish in last year’s senior boys’ steeplechase race at the B.C. provincial high school track and fi eld championships. He is looking to defend his title this week as the championships return to McLeod Athletic Park beginning tomor-row (Thursday) and running through Saturday. The graduating senior is set to run with the Trinity Western Spartans cross-country and track and fi eld teams next year.

With no nation-al championships to prepare for this sum-mer, the Langley Se-nior Blaze are intent on making sure they qualify for the 2016 tournament.

The Blaze had at-tended the past three national champion-ships — including win-ning the title last sum-mer — but failed to qualify for this year’s event after losing to Kamloops in the 2014 provincial fi nals.

“That left a sour taste in our mouths,” said Steve Petersen, the team’s assistant coach.

“The biggest chal-lenge to winning the provincial champion-ship will be to stay lev-el-headed and to make sure we get through the Lower Mainland (Pacifi c Metro Baseball League) league and qualify again.

“That being said, both (head coach) Dave Diachuk and myself believe we are a stron-ger, younger, more fi t and deeper team than we were a year ago.

“We ran out of gas playing four games in one day at provincials last year and this team is now built to play those games if that scenario was to ever happen again.”

Petersen did add that having to play four games in one day — usually because of tie-breaker scenarios — is an extremely rare case.

“But we are built for it just in case,” he said.

The Blaze are made up of primarily Low-

er Mainland college and university players home for the summer.

Another change for this season is that in-stead of playing in two leagues, the Blaze have taken a hiatus from the Pacifi c Internation-al League.

While they may re-turn to the PIL in the future — the league has teams from both B.C. and Washing-ton state — the Blaze chose not to for 2015 in order to play more ex-hibition games against teams they otherwise would not have been able to fi t into the schedule.

This includes a two-game series this week against the San Fran-cisco Seals — last night at Abbotsford’s Delair Park and to-night (Wednesday) at McLeod Park — as well as three games for the Victoria Harbourcats and a doubleheader against Kamloops.

The Blaze return a dozen players — in-cluding ace pitcher Shane Kraemer — and have 19 new faces.

Included on the team are a handful of Lang-ley players — Bob Fo-erster, Ryan Eiswerth, Keenan Takatch and Michael Dagg — as well as several others who played in the PBL with the Langley Blaze.

The senior Blaze were supposed to rep-resent Canada at the World Baseball Chal-lenge this August in Prince George, but or-ganizers had to cancel the event earlier this week.

According to the Prince George Citizen,

tournament organiz-ers had only raised half of the $100,000 in sponsorship money they were looking to raise by the end of the month. The event has been rescheduled for 2016.

Petersen said the Blaze were selected to represent Canada. In past years, the Canadi-an team has consisted of an all-star line-up.

They would have faced teams from Cuba, the Bahamas, Japan, Chinese-Taipei and a U.S. squad made up of all-stars from Washington state and Oregon.

Walnut Grove Gators’ Dean Qawasmeh (with ball) dodges a Chilliwack tackler during Fraser Valley tier 2 senior boys rugby quarter-fi nals. The Gators won 47-7 and defeated Westview 19-7 before losing in the championship fi nal, 43-24 to LA Matheson last week (May 27).

Jr. Thunder fall to DeltaJr. Thunder fall to Delta

It was an all-Langley battle for ninth place at the B.C. senior boys 2A provincial rugby cham-pionships.

The Poppy Redhawks and the Mountain Ea-gles squared off on Sat-urday at Abbotsford’s Exhibition Park on the fi nal day of the pro-vincial championships with the Redhawks prevailing 13-10.

The Redhawks en-tered the 16-team tour-nament seeded ninth and the team won their fi nal three games after an opening round loss to No. 8 Brentwood Col-lege.

Poppy rebounded from that defeat to win a trio of narrow games, 17-15 over Smithers, 13-7 over LV Rogers and then the win over Mountain.

And while the Red-hawks maintained their pre-tournament ranking, the Eagles went up a handful of spots, starting 14th but fi nishing 10th.

After losing 51-3 to No. 3 Collingwood, Mountain responded with a 25-14 win over Frances Kelsey and a 17-10 victory over G.W. Graham. Both were higher seeds.

Poppy’s Logan Belan-sky and Mountain’s Bri-an Trieu were named to the Commissioners XV.
