The views from the rooftop of Langley Memorial Hospital were spectacular on a sunny Friday morning — looking out over snow capped mountains to the north and, closer in, at the construction, newly underway, on the brand new Vandekerk-hove Family Maternity Centre at LMH.

But it was Vanessa Vandekerkhove, a brand new mother and member of the Langley family after whom the maternity unit will be named, who stole the show as politicians, hospital staff, auxiliary members and donors gathered at the hos-pital on Feb. 15 to celebrate the start of the long-awaited expansion.

Vandekerkhove, who spent 13 hours in labour before delivering her now five-week-old daughter, Adrianna, offered her thanks to the maternity nurses who made her feel safe and secure, as well as to the doctors who attended her throughout her stay.

“It was such a great experience, I can’t wait to pop out a whole bunch more,” she exclaimed, earning a long burst of laugh-ter from her audience.

“I feel very privileged to have had (Adrianna) at Langley Memorial Hospital.”

Vandekerkhove also told the gathering that she felt lucky there was, in fact, a bed available for her when it came time to give birth to her daughter.

The $6.5 million expansion addresses a long-term shortage of maternity beds in the hospital.

The number of births each year at the LMH has risen dramatically, from 85 in 1948 — when the hospital opened — to 1,800 births in 2010. During that same period, however, only two beds were added to the ward, bringing the current total to 13.

By 2020, it is expected that more than 2,300 infants will be born at LMH each year.

Construction, which will see another floor added to an existing wing of the hospital, is expected to be complete late this year.

At that time, four of the seven new beds — all of which will be in private rooms — will open, with the remaining three scheduled to open in 2015.

“It really means we will have the capac-ity to serve 600 additional births per year. That’s significant,” said David Portesi, speaking on behalf of the hospital.

Other planned improvements include the relocation of the maternity clinic to a space next to the maternity unit, for bet-ter continuity of care.

As well, there will be a dedicated post-anesthetic recovery unit, renovated and expanded nursery, additional on-call rooms and multipurpose space.

A 17-year-old was arrested after stab-bing her 28-year-old ex-boyfriend with a steak knife, after allegedly spending the day and evening drinking with him in Langley on Friday.

The suspect, who can’t be named because of her age, had been drinking with the man during the afternoon and into the evening when the pair took a bus from Langley and headed to Sky-

Train in Surrey, said Transit Police.The two argued on the bus, and it

continued when the teen followed her ex-boyfriend onto SkyTrain at King George station.

The pair argued until the train arrived at Gateway station. As the vic-tim stepped onto the platform, the girl produced a knife and stabbed him in the leg, said Transit Police.

A fight broke out with the victim sus-taining defensive wounds to his hands and a cut to his forehead. The girl ran from the platform but was appre-hended by Transit Police while on the exit stairs. She was held in custody and appeared in court on Monday. A steak knife was recovered at the scene, said Transit Police.

Both are Surrey residents.

Brenda ANDERSON/Langley TimesVanessa Vandekerkhove and her husband, Josh JansenVandoorn, returned to Langley Memorial Hospital on Friday, where their daughter, Adrianna, was born five weeks earlier, to attend the official groundbreaking celebra-tion of the hospital’s expanded and enhanced maternity unit.

The mayor of the City of Langley has his sights set on a new title — MLA.

Peter Fassbender officially announced on Friday morning that he plans to run on behalf of the Liberals for the provincial seat in Surrey-Fleetwood. He confirmed his intentions to The Times on Thursday.

The riding is currently held by NDP MLA Jagrup Brar.

Asked whether it makes sense for a politi-cian to hold office in a community where he doesn’t reside, Fassbender said he has no problem with anyone in provincial politics doing so.

“If you run for local government you should live in the community,” he said.

“Provincially, I don’t think it’s as critical.”Fassbender said he has been approached

to run a number of times over the years both provincially and federally, but waited until he felt the time was right to make the move.

That time is now, both personally and for the Liberal party, he said.

“People … have made the decision that

the government is going to change. I don’t believe that has to be the case if people have a clear choice about vision and the future.

“Change for the sake of change — that’s a dangerous reason to make a change.”

“If I wasn’t going to step up to the plate now, would I be in the same position in four and a half or five years? I don’t know that.

“I have the energy, I have the passion, I have the track record I have the knowledge and I’ve got the experience, so when you look at all those things, now is the time.”

“But it’s been really tough. It’s easy to stay in your comfort zone.”

Fassbender acknowledged, however, that whether or not he wins the Surrey seat, he has little to lose.

If he does win, he said, he’ll work to ensure a smooth transition for the City of Langley.

“If I don’t win, I’ll carry on and continue to contribute to the community and the

region as I have done.”At his Friday announcement,

Fassbender said he spent some of his growing up years in Surrey, and both he and his wife Charlene graduated from Queen Elizabeth Secondary.

“I’ve worked hard for the entire region and I’m committed to making a difference,” he said. “The BC Liberals have a vision for the future.”

Fassbender said he is not run-ning against incumbent NDP MLA Jagrup Brar, who won the seat in 2009 by just under 2,000 votes over Liberal can-didate Jagmohan Singh, but “I run for things. I am running for the future of the South Fraser region, for Surrey, for Langley

and for Vancouver.“I have a message for Adrian Dix,” he said.

“Every good government needs good oppo-sition, and I am going to work very hard to

make sure you continue to play that role.”Fassbender has been mayor of the City of

Langley since 2005, and served one term on council prior to that.

He also previously served as a school trustee in Langley and is retired from the advertising agency business.

A large crowd was on hand for his announcement at Fleetwood Community Centre, including MLAs Stephanie Cadieux, Rich Coleman and Mary Polak, Abbotsford South Liberal candidate Darryl Plecas, former Liberal MP (and former Surrey-Panorama candidate) Sukh Dhaliwal, former Surrey-Green Timbers MLA Brenda Locke, former Surrey Social Credit MLA Bill Reid, Langley City Councillor Teri James, Langley RCMP Insp. Amrik Virk, and numerous members of the Langley business community.

Cadieux hinted at the challenges the BC Liberals have in winning the eight Surrey seats, stating that Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg has his riding “well under control,” but adding that the Liberals need to work hard to win seats north of Highway 10.

Langley RCMP are now looking at the possibility that the same suspect is responsible for two different attempted abductions in Langley.

The most recent attempt took place on Feb. 1 in Langley City and the prior attempt took place Oct. 31 in Fort Langley.

A 12-year-old girl was grabbed by the wrist by a Caucasian man on Feb. 1, in the 5100 block of 205 Street, near the path to Al Ander-son Pool.

The girl managed to break free and run and hide in a nearby for-est, said her dad. Once she felt safe, she ran home and told her parents who quickly called police.

During the altercation, she man-aged to get a very good descrip-tion of the suspect and with help from a police sketch artist could produce a composite drawing of the suspect.

The circumstances of this occur-rence and the sketch provided are remarkably similar to a prior

attempted abduction on Hallow-een day at the Fort Langley cem-etery, said Langley RCMP Cpl.

Holly Marks.In that incident, a 12-year

old-girl was standing near the cemetery around noon, when a man approached her and grabbed her wrist. She screamed, kicked him in the shin and ran back to her school (Langley Fine Arts School).

No words were exchanged between the two and in this instance, no vehicle was seen.

The young victim worked with a composite artist very shortly after the attempted abduction and a sketch was distributed through the media.

In the Feb. 1, attempted abduc-tion, the girl was approached by a Caucasian man in his 30s, with brown scruffy hair, 5’9”, stocky build, a scratch on the right side of his face, wearing a black zip up hoody, dark blue jeans and white Nike runners. In addition, he was wearing a

silver watch adorned with Roman numerals on his right arm.

He was driving a white pickup truck with a large dent on the rear passenger side near the tailgate and a dent on the driver’s side door with scratches surrounding it.

The young girl told police the man was leaning against his truck which was parked at the side of the road. As she passed by, he grabbed her wrist so she pushed him and ran. Just as in the attempted abduction at the cem-etery, no words were exchanged.

Police made extensive inquiries throughout the neighbourhood on Feb. 1, however no one was able to identify a suspect, said Marks.

Langley Serious Crime has taken over this investigation.

Police are asking the public to study both composite sketches and if you have any informa-tion that would assist with either investigation, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. Should you need to remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Attempted abductions may be linked: police

rcmp sketchLangley RCMP believe the same man may be responsible for a pair of attempted abductions on Oct. 31, 2012 and Feb. 1, 2013.

A do-your-own Township of Langley budget went online Mon-day, giving residents a taste of the budget process while allowing Township planners a glimpse of what the “top of mind” financial issues are in the community.

The online budget simulator is viewable until Feb 26 at tol.ca/budget.

People who log on will be greeted by a message that states “Balancing a $350 million budget for 105,000 people demands dif-ficult choice.”

Then the user is led through a series of choices, what the web site defines as “top of mind issues,” that demonstrate the impact of cuts or spending hikes on the bottom line.

The concept is similar to web budget simulators deployed by the City of Vancouver, B.C. provincial government and other local, pro-

vincial and state governments in Canada and the U.S.

In a press release issued last Tuesday, Councillor Michelle Spar-row said the simulator will give the Township more input than it would glean from the usual process of public meetings.

“Having 30 people at an open house is not an effective measure of public opinion,” said Sparrow.

While certain budget items, such as wages, cannot be changed, Sparrow said information collected through the “Citizen Budget” will give the Township an indication of what people do and don’t want.

“It may give people an idea of the difficult choices involved in doing the job we do,” she added.

“Sometimes the budget is hard to fathom and it looks scary, but when you realize it is only costing you so many dollars for all these valuable services, it makes sense,”

An open house on the budget is set for this Monday (Feb. 25).

Township goes online to get budget feedback


It likely won’t be until 2014 before Langley serial killer Davey Mato Butorac will go to trial for the 2006 slaying of Aldergrove’s Margaret Redford.

Jury selection for his trial was slated for Jan. 29 to Feb. 4, in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. But that has been cancelled and rescheduled for November.

Butorac is already serving a life sentence

for killing two sex trade workers in the spring and summer of 2007.

DNA found on his shoe and in his car linked him to those murders, which took place in Langley City and Abbotsford.

Redford’s family made several pleas for the killer to come forward after her case went cold.

It was after Butorac was arrested for the sex trade workers’ murders that he was first linked to Redford’s death. Redford’s body was

found floating in the Bertrand Creek, which is blocks from where Butorac lived with his father.

In Butorac’s trial for the two murders he is convicted of, it provided no insight into motivation behind those killings. He wasn’t on police radar before his arrest.

She leaves behind a young son and daughter, grandchild and her own parents. Redford’s father had vowed to attend every day of the trial on behalf of his family.

Butorac jury selection delayed

As of Friday, the hospi-tal’s “It All Starts Here” fun-draising campaign had sur-passed the halfway mark of its commitment to raise $5.35 million, announced LMH Foundation Board chair Rick McMullan.

In addition to a $1 million donation from the Vande-

kerkhoves — well known for their family business, the Super Save Group of Companies — McMullan noted the Langley Memo-rial Hospital Auxiliary has pledged $500,000 to the project.

“The work that they do is incredible,” he said.

He also acknowledged contributions from the

LMH Foundation Board’s own campaign, hospi-tal physicians and staff, local businesses, including Langley Concrete Group and Teck Construction, as well as from RBC and BMO Financial Groups and a private donation from Rebecca Darnell.

The Fraser Health Authority, meanwhile, is

contributing $1.15 million to the project, as well as an additional $5.5 million for various infrastructure projects, required to sup-port the expansion and to fund its ongoing opera-tional costs.

Altogether, the expan-sion is valued at more than $11.6 million.

Projects of this magni-

tude wouldn’t be possible without such co-operation, said Langley MLA Mary Polak.

“This is a celebration of something that is going to be so beneficial to the community and the part-nerships that make it pos-sible,” she said.

“It’s welcome news … for the entire community.”

To mark the 125th anniversary of Milner Church, a cairn has been built at the site which the church occupied for more than 100 years.

In 2006, the church was moved two blocks away from the intersec-tion of 216 Street/64 Avenue and Glover Road, settling in as a non-denominational wedding chapel two blocks away on 64 Avenue.

In 2011, Township council approved building an $80,000 commemorative cairn. It has been erected and, with a bench and landscaping, stands at the north-east corner of the intersection. The cairn will be sheltered by a maple tree that was planted to commemo-rate the Langley men who died in the First World War.

The cairn interprets and cel-ebrates the history of Milner by developing the original site of the church for public use. It includes a bench and landscaping.

The location of the cairn takes into account improvements which will eventually be made to the inter-section. Built on property donated by James Johnston, the Milner church was originally known as the Langley Prairie Methodist Church. It was formally opened in 1886 by Rev. Ebenezer Robson.

Twenty-five years later, the name of the church was changed to Milner Methodist. In 1925, the con-gregation joined the new formed United Church of Canada, at which

time a hall and kitchen were added. The church was officially desig-

nated a heritage site in 1983.There will be an official rib-

bon cutting and plaque unveiling on Thursday, Feb. 21 at 1 p.m. followed by refreshments in the church hall.

something I would like to accomplish this year, to raise more money

and to fall in love with healthy eating.

The man accused in the New Year’s Eve murder in Langley made another court appearance on Monday, Feb. 11 for a bail hearing in Surrey Provincial Court.

Jason Brewer, 26, is charged with second degree murder in the shooting death of Cole Manning, 40.

Police called the pair “friends” and it’s believed Manning was a recent renter of the basement suite in Willoughby where his body was found.

Brewer is also going to trial, charged with two counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm and two counts of criminal negligence causing bodily harm in connection to a violent crash in 2009 on Highway 10 that permanently and seriously injured two people.

At the time of his arrest on New Year’s, Brewer was on probation for attacking his mother with a knife.

Manning doesn’t appear to have a criminal history, in B.C. anyways.

One friend of Manning, who lives in Alberta and worked with him at the Calgary Stampede several years ago, told The Times that Manning, 40, was a “genuinely nice guy” whose life began to spiral downward into drug addiction after a break up with his

long-term partner.According to Paul

Gabriel, he lost track of Manning, as did many of his friends, after Manning turned to such heavy drug addiction.

He was “saddened and shocked” to read about Manning’s murder.

The killing isn’t gang related but

homicide investigators haven’t revealed what the motive was for the shooting, and whether it was drug related.

Brewer was arrested for the murder after a short police chase that resulted in patrol cars running his vehicle off the road near the Greater Vancouver Zoo in

Aldergrove. Pilots in the area

were asked by police to see if they spotted the suspect.

It’s unknown where Air One was at the time, but several pilots were up in the air, helping with the search, said Langley RCMP at the time.

Brewer has been in jail ever since.

Year-round school not worth fuss

Manufactured homes offer a great lifestyle

Forested area should now be preserved as a parkEditor: I am a resident of Langley, and

have been for 20 years. I would like to thank and commend Township council for having acted wisely, in the recent decision not to sell a significant portion of McLel-lan Forest East (the Gray Pit lands).

I am grateful for the decision, as I am most concerned for the biodiversity and ecological value of the wetlands proper-ties with regard to the importance of rare and endangered species and habitat protection within the larger regional and global context.

It is heartening that the Township has taken more than half of the forest off the market in response to the public outcry. This issue has garnered a high political profile for the Township and has a high public relations component, which will very likely influence many voters in the next election.

Further to the decision, now is the time to capitalize on this momentum in order to ensure the permanent protection of both McLellan Forest and Gray Pit lands for future generations. In my opinion, the

next rational step is for council to formal-ize its intentions and protect the integrity of this priceless ecosystem by setting the lands aside as a park or heritage conser-vation area.

There are a number of mechanisms through which this can be achieved. This should be immediately explored by the Township in concert with the community, to ensure that these lands will be pro-tected in perpetuity.

Ellen Klemm,Langley

Editor: After reading G.E. MacDon-nell’s letter “Many benefits to year-round schooling,” (The Times, Feb. 14), I felt compelled to point out a few things.

The letter writer claims that year-round schooling “is, by far, a better format.” Based on the available research it would appear that even on the most optimistic reports, there is only a nominal improve-ment in academic achievement. There is plenty of research that shows there is no difference in achievement.

Changing to a new calendar would not mean an increase in instructional time for students. The same curriculum would be taught, with kids finishing the year with the same knowledge base. So there would be no real gain here.

The writer’s belief that families could enjoy their camping throughout the year is simply not based on reality. This might be enjoyable to some, however those of us who like to do a little swimming dur-ing our camping trips might find hopping into a near-freezing lake less than “an enjoyable experience.”

The fact is that most people do their camping during the summer months and that is not going to change. Not to men-

tion the fact that most campgrounds close down in the off season.

The assertion that kids need only to “dress adequately” to be involved in out-door activities and camps in the winter months is unrealistic. Kids are simply not going to want to ride bikes, go swimming, attend camps, etc. when the weather is miserable, no matter how well-dressed they are.

Just to prove the letter writer lacks a grasp of reality there is the statement “Air conditioning can be installed, as it would be a capital cost and not an operational cost.”

Firstly, there would be an enormous capital cost to installing air conditioning and I’d sure like to know who would be funding that during these times of tight budgets. Secondly, there would be a sub-stantial operational cost as anybody with an air conditioner and a hydro bill can tell you. There would also be the ongoing maintenance that would undoubtedly be needed.

What’s being proposed for Langley is a change to year-round schooling, with the addition of “intersessions.” These interses-sions would be one week set aside three times a year to help students in need and

would apparently take the place of sum-mer school.

This would not be available to all stu-dents and would only be of a benefit to a small number of kids. The district is tell-ing us that the intersessions would only be available at select schools and the few eligible kids would need to find their way to those locations. If this is about improv-ing student achievement, then let’s find a system that helps all students not just a few.

Having kids in school in July is just not pragmatic. Attendance would be reduced as many parents would take their kids out for family holidays. The kids who are stuck in sweltering schools would be looking outside wishing they were there, and not focusing on school work. We live in an area where there are a limited number of good weather months and we should be free to make the most of them.

It is not worth disrupting the lives of families to make change that would have little or no benefit. There is so much more to be lost than gained by making such a change.

Editor: I was very upset about the article in The Times on Feb. 14, regarding the housing action plan.

Where consultant Linda Allen obtained her facts about manufactured home parks I do not know, but they are wrong.

They are not a unique Langley issue, as these parks are across B.C. There are more than 26,000 residential units in B.C. alone. There are many others all over North America. What region is she talking about? Please be more specific.

Locally, these parks are in Surrey, Abbotsford and Chilliwack, as well as the Township of Langley.

They provide very affordable housing, and as they are generally a community in themselves, save the government untold dollars, as neighbour looks after neigh-

bour, thus saving the cost of extended care, assisted living, etc.

Residents of these parks do not want rental accommodation in apartments or something similar, be it affordable or not, as they are already living in affordable accom-modation, which includes land and privacy.

The residents of these parks do not want to rent, where there are untold num-bers of other units sharing walls. We want our four walls and our own gardens, and our own lifestyle. We need more manu-factured home parks.

It is very surprising that the Town-ship of Langley does not encourage more parks to be built, as it is alternative affordable living for seniors. However, the developers and builders do not like these parks, as they cost less to set up, and they

cannot charge the high rents or have the selling price they would like.

Has Allen, or any reporter, or council mem-bers driven around the parks to see what they are like? Have they walked into any of the homes they wish to destroy to see how nice they are? You have an open invitation.

With the proposed community plans, it will eventually place up to about 900 seniors in the Township alone, who are in their 70s, 80s and 90s (who have lived in their homes for years) with the upsetting prospect of having to sell their homes and move in with relatives or care homes. as they cannot afford to live in the so-called affordable living that will be available, according to government thinking.

Sandy Campbell,Langley


we say

Action plan welcome

Langley Township is going in the right direction by adopting its first-ever housing action plan.

Hopefully this will lead to a better balance in some of the decisions made about housing and land use.

As noted by counsultant Linda Allen, the Township will see many more people move into the area in the future, and many of them will be older. This is in keeping with Canada’s aging population and the long-term trend of many people from other parts of the country retiring to B.C.

Yet there is little planned in the way of housing for lower-income people, including seniors, students and people with disablities.

At present, less than one per cent of the housing in the Township is subsidized housing for seniors or families, as compared with nine per cent in the City. This is clearly an imbalance, and one which needs to be gradually improved. While there are limited housing subsidies available at present, the Township needs to take full advantage of whatever programs are available.

Another example of an issue that needs attention is the point Allen made about a medium-income couple with an income of $92,000 in 2010. At present, this couple would qualify for a maximum $434,000 mortgage, if they had a solid down payment. This is in a very low interest rate environment.

If rates go up even slightly, many people who currently have mortgages would likely not qualify. They are one step away from being over their heads.

Yet the Township has done nothing to reduce the costs it builds into housing, most notably through development cost charges. While municipalities point to increasing costs associated with growth, DCCs are tacked directly onto the cost of a home — and home costs are unaffordable for a growing spectrum of the population.

The attention in the report to manufactured home parks is important. While such parks are located across the Lower Mainland, Langley has a good share of them and they do provide an affordable and popular housing choice for many.

The Township needs to ensure that mobile home parks remain in place, and resist any attempts at rezoning such properties. Many in Langley are located in semi-rural areas, and may be seen by developers as opportunities. But the type of housing they provide is vital.

The Housing Action Plan gives some clear directions for the future.

they say

Substance is needed

The throne speech opening B.C.’s 39th legislature may have been short on substance, but it did

make it abundantly clear that the BC Liberals see natural gas exports as the source of the province’s future prosperity.

The BC Conservative party was quick off the mark to label this a “We’re gonna win a lottery” throne speech, while NDP leader Adrian Dix said it’s a sign that the Liberals have given up on other sectors of the economy, like forestry, film, high tech and tourism. Rather than convince the province with reasoned arguments that LNG exports would be safe and profitable despite the vagaries of the volatile fuel market, the throne speech instead held out tantalizing, but unsubstantiated, hints about what could be done with all that money.

Reducing the provincial debt topped the list, along with improvements to social services, investment in education and infrastructure, and the biggest carrot, the elimination of provincial sales tax.

The ideas outlined in the throne speech, of course, only apply if the Liberals are re-elected. An NDP government could overturn the whole concept of B.C. becoming a leading exporter of LNG to the energy hungry Asian markets.

But should they? There is substance to the concept of exploiting one of the province’s biggest assets. If not now, when? While, as the NDP suggest, supporting existing economic drivers is a primary goal, expanding the province’s economic base should also be on the agenda.

What we need is an intelligent approach to bringing B.C. LNG to the world market. As with the province’s five requirements for the Enbridge pipeline, we need a plan to ensure safe production and transport as well as a sound fiscal plan to ensure the province profits, both in tax revenue and job creation.

What we don’t need are hints and stock platitudes intended to entice votes, but rather a substantive plan for B.C.’s future.

A steep uphill for FassbenderWinning in a solid NDP riding will be difficult

Peter Fassbender is taking a leap into another pond, as he spends the next three

months campaigning as the BC Liberal candidate in Surrey-Fleet-wood.

It will be a steep learning curve for the Langley City mayor, who has never faced any serious opposition in his runs for councillor and mayor in Langley City in the past four municipal elections. The BC Liberals do not hold the Surrey-Fleetwood seat — it is held by Jagrup Brar of the NDP. The Liber-als are well behind in public opinion polls, and while that gap will likely narrow by elec-tion day, the BC Liberals have little chance of winning power again, with the Conservatives running candidates in most B.C. ridings and splitting the vote in ridings where the Liber-als won by narrow margins.

Surrey-Fleetwood is likely to stay NDP, and it will be interesting to see how many votes Fassbender will gain for the Liberals. In the 2009 election, Brar gained 8,852 votes, while Liberal candidate Jagmohan Singh took 6,860 votes. Singh is well-known in the riding, as a library trustee, fundraiser for Surrey Memorial Hospital, and realtor.

Christin Geall of the Greens took 1,120 votes and Chamkaur Sandhu of the Conserva-tives got 818 votes in the 2009 election.

Unlike Singh in 2009, Fassbender is almost unknown in Surrey-Fleetwood, other than as a regional spokesman on transportation and policing. Of the few Surrey-Fleetwood voters who have heard of him, most likely associate him with tax increases, such as the

two-cent additional levy on gas that TransLink put in place last year. Recently, TransLink has talked about vehicle levies and a regional sales tax. None of these are likely vote-getters.

He is running in a riding that is very dependent on the Port Mann Bridge and Highway 1, and will have to defend bridge tolls that are not popular with many voters. He will also have to defend the Liber-als’ ham-fisted HST decision, which has cost the party dearly.

In other words, he has a huge uphill battle to let people know who he is, and to then come up with an issue that they are likely to think positively about. At the moment, mark most Surrey-Fleetwood voters down as doubtful.

He is a very capable politician and I would never underestimate him. However, I think the main reason he is running is to give the party a boost provincially, rather than to win the seat in Fleetwood. His candidacy is a shot in the arm for the beleaguered Liberals, who have not had a good 2013 thus far. Even in Surrey, the party has had troubles with candidates. Sukh Dhaliwal had to withdraw as candidate in Surrey-Panorama two weeks ago, due to an ongoing issue with income tax involving one of his companies.

As an aside, Dhaliwal was on hand Friday at Fassbender’s announcement, and told me he expects to have his income tax issues sorted out very soon. He plans to work for the re-election of the BC Liberals.

When the election’s over, Fassbender will most likely continue to be mayor of the City of Langley.

It turns out it will cost more to build a middle school than Langley School District budgeted for.

At the Jan. 29 Board of Education meeting, staff asked trustees to amend the capital proj-ect from specifying a total maximum alloca-tion of $24 million to $25 million.

“When we opened tenders for building a middle school, all of the estimates were over the budgeted amount,” said secretary-treasurer David Green. “We had to increase the budget by $1.162 million.”

The Ministry of Edu-cation approved the additional allocation, said Green.

The board unani-mously agreed to the cost of building the new school, located on 84 Avenue, at $25,435,136.

According to the dis-trict, the building of the school is on sched-ule. Construction is well underway.

Middle school to cost $1.1 million more


As assistant superintendent of schools in Langley, Suzanne Hoffman made $184,831 in the fiscal 2011/2012 year, accord-ing to the latest figures released by the Public Sector Employers’ Council (PSEC).

That includes a $143,448 sal-ary. She has since been hired as superintendent.

Secretary Treasurer David Green made slightly more at $184,831, including vehicle allowance, expenses and ben-efits.

Jennifer Canas, assistant superintendent of human resources made the third high-est in the district at $165,630.

But it is fired Langley super-intendent Cheryle Beaumont’s payout that ranks highest earnings in B.C. at just over $444,000. That includes her sal-ary and $301,923 in severance.

Her employment ended

March 2012. But in terms of pay, Langley

school district’s top staff don’t even rank in the top 10 for highest paid province-wide.

A review of the provincial figures shows that the size of the district doesn’t always match the size of the manager’s salary.

Although Surrey, the big-gest school district in term’s of student population, paid its superintendent the most, North Vancouver — which ranks 11th largest — paid the second-highest amount.

All school districts in the province are required to pro-vide an annual disclosure of executive compensation for those whose base salary is $125,000 or more, for the year ending June 30.

It turns out it will cost more to build a middle school than Langley School District budgeted for.

At the Jan. 29 Board of Education meeting, staff asked trustees to amend the capital proj-ect from specifying a total maximum alloca-tion of $24 million to $25 million.

“When we opened tenders for building a middle school, all of the estimates were over the budgeted amount,” said secretary-treasurer David Green. “We had to increase the budget by $1.162 million.”

The Ministry of Edu-cation approved the additional allocation, said Green.

The board unani-mously agreed to the cost of building the new school, located on 84 Avenue, at $25,435,136.

According to the dis-trict, the building of the school is on sched-ule. Construction is well underway.

Middle school to cost $1.1 million more


As assistant superintendent of schools in Langley, Suzanne Hoffman made $184,831 in the fiscal 2011/2012 year, accord-ing to the latest figures released by the Public Sector Employers’ Council (PSEC).

That includes a $143,448 sal-ary. She has since been hired as superintendent.

Secretary Treasurer David Green made slightly more at $184,831, including vehicle allowance, expenses and ben-efits.

Because of great prices, a huge selection of products and superior customer service much of the store’s business is a result of word of mouth referrals. Hal also attributes much of the

What can children do if they are bullied?Children are often scared and angry when they are bullied. They may not know what to do. Teach them to:• Talk back. Say, “Leave me alone,” or “You don’t scare

me.” Have your child practice saying this in a calm, strong voice.

• Walk away. Don't run, even if you are afraid.• Tell an adult. A parent or teacher can then take steps to

stop the bullying.www.healthlinkbc.ca

Proud to Support Pink Shirt Day

It started in September 2007, when two teens at a Nova Scotia high school stood up for a younger student. David Shepherd and Travis Price, both in Grade 12, heard about a Grade 9 student at their school who had been bullied and threatened for wearing a pink polo shirt on his � rst day of school.They decided they should do something about it and bought 50 pink shirts and tank tops to wear to school the next day. They also went online to round up support for their anti-bully-ing cause, which they dubbed a “sea of pink.”It worked. The next day, dozens of students were out-� tted with the discount shirts, but even better, hundreds of students showed up wearing their own pink clothes, some from head to toe.The bullies were reportedly never heard from again.This year, Feb. 27 is Pink Shirt Day in B.C. and other parts of Canada, an annual anti-bully-ing event that started after the now-famous 2007 “sea of pink” campaign.The need for awareness and action against bullying remains as strong as ever say those involved in the pink event, including local radio station CKNW, Black Press, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver, and

London Drugs, where people can buy the o� cial pink shirts for 2013.“Awareness of what bullying is and under-standing that it hurts is important,” says Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver president and CEO Carolyn Tuckwell.“It isn’t just a rite of passage. It doesn’t have to happen. And it’s relevant to everyone,

whether in school, after school or in the workplace.”

According to www.bullyingcanada.ca, as

many as 25 per cent of children in Grades 4 to

6 have been bullied and approximately

one in 10 children have bullied others, while a

2004 study published in the Medical Journal of Pediatrics

found that about one in seven Canadian children aged 11 to 16 are victims of bullying.It is important to recog-

nize what bullying is, and that it happens in many forms – verbally, socially, physically and online (cyber bullying), says Tuckwell.“By wearing pink, people show they’re mak-ing that commitment, to not let bullying happen,” she says.Tuckwell and others emphasize that the pink shirt is secondary to raising awareness about bullying and getting people involved.B.C. is no stranger to tragedy related to bul-

lying. From Surrey’s 14-year-old Hamed Nas-toh, who jumped o� the Patullo Bridge and killed himself after leaving a note behind blaming the constant bullying he endured at school, to Mission’s Dawn-Marie Wesley, 14, who committed suicide by hanging herself after relentless bullying, to Port Coquitlam’s Amanda Todd, 15, who killed herself after posting a video on YouTube talking about her experiences with cyber bullying, there are countless told and untold stories that remain horri� c.The provincial government has taken steps to address bullying in recent years, including a Ministry of Education resource brochure for parents in 14 languages that can be found

online at www.bced.gov.bc.ca/sco.Net proceeds bene� t the CKNW Orphans Fund in support of the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Coast BC.The Boys and Girls Clubs o� er programs that foster self-esteem, social engagement, academic success, inclusion, acceptance, respect for self and others, and connection to community. The CKNW Orphans Fund is committed to enhancing the lives of children with physical, mental and social challenges living in BC communities. The fund includes children who are bullied under the scope of the fund’s work, because these children will need extra support for their development.

Help put a stop to bullying. Wear the shirt. Be the di� erence.

� e Bene� ts of a Heart Attack� e Ultimate Wake-up Call

— Langley’s Monthly Young-At-Heart Section — February 2013 — THISis theLIFE!

Statistics show that most people survive their � rst attack and go on to live a full and productive

life, if they are prepared to make some important lifestyle changes.

Last year during Heart and Stroke month we interviewed Betty Desy, an active woman in her sixties who had ignored all the signs and symptoms of an impending heart attack and had just had three stints implanted to restore the blood � ow to through her clogged arteries.

� is week, we interviewed Betty again to see what the past year has been like. Has she followed doctor’s orders? Has she viewed the experience as a wake-up call? What signi� cant changes has she made in her routine?

A� er a heart attack, it’s common to have negative feelings such as fear, depression ,denial or anxiety. � ese feelings o� en last for about two to six months. � ey can a� ect your ability to exercise, interfere with your family life and your work, and have a negative impact on your recovery.

“I was very frightened for awhile,” recalls Betty. “It was hard to accept that this had happened to me and I was unsure of what I could do or what I shouldn’t do in case it brought on the pain again. My specialist had encouraged me to get on with my life, exercise and do

as much as possible, so that advice combined with my fear was a bit troubling but I started back on my exercise routine.”

“ I swim four times a week for ninety minutes. I had done that before the heart attack but not always four times and not always for ninety minutes. I would skip a day sometimes if I had a meeting or leave early other days if I just wasn’t into it but now I use the time seriously and put me and my body � rst.”

� e Heart and Stroke Foundation encourages recovering patients to talk about how you feel with your health care team. Talking to a

professional counselor also can help. If you’re very depressed, your doctor may recommend medicines or other treatments that can improve your quality of life.

Joining a patient support group may help you adjust to life a� er a heart attack. You can see how other people who have the same symptoms have coped with them. Talk with your doctor about local support groups or check with an area medical center.

Support from family and friends also can help relieve stress and anxiety. Let your loved ones know how you feel and what they can do to help you.

“� e other big changes have been

in our shopping and our eating. I take more time in the grocery store and spend more time in the kitchen. It had become very convenient to stroll through the store choosing packaged dinners and instant foods. Now I read the labels on those boxes and see the fat, cholesterol and most of all, the amount of sodium I was putting unto my body. By buying fresh vegetables and lean meat and making my own soups and meals, I can control what goes in now.”

“If we go out for dinner, I am very selective and I o� en eat only half and take the rest home. We don’t eat out as o� en so by eating more healthy meals at home we are saving money as well. I have lost weight and have more energy but I still have some work to do.”

“In addition to my physical health, I have been working on my emotional well being as well. I have researched my condition and read up on what the possible causes could have been and ways to prevent it from re-occurring. Education is a big key to recovery and there is a lot of information available from di� erent agencies, on the internet and from the doctors. “

“My experience has also alerted my friends as well. Recently, we had a speaker attend one of our ladies’ church groups to talk about recognizing the signs and symptoms of a heart attack and encourage

others to pay attention to the everything I ignored. I stress living a healthy lifestyle to my children and grandchildren now. I � nd myself o� en asking, ‘Why didn’t I pay attention, I knew all this and I knew there was a history of heart attacks in my family, why did I ignore that knowledge?’

“Overall, I have tried to slow my lifestyle down, pace myself, assess what really needs to be done and how that will a� ect my new routine. I challenge my thinking pay more attention to my body. I still � nd myself short of breath from time to time and I have to � nd out the reason for that. It could be from allergies or asthma related but I will ask my specialist when I see him in a couple of weeks.”

Having regular check-ups with your family doctor a� er the heart attack is important and keeping the lines of communication open with your cardiologist is vital to your recovery. If you are on medications, a periodic review of which ones are working or if the dosages have to be regulated can be assessed at these regular visits. Keeping a list of questions as they arise and discussing them with the medical professionals can alleviate many concerns and anxieties. � e Last thing the doctor wants to hear is ,”I am � ne.” Use your doctor visit as part of your recovery.

February is Heart and Stroke month. Heart disease and strokes take the life of one Canadian every seven minutes. Since the Heart and Stroke Foundation began in 1952 the rates of death due to heart disease and stroke has declined more than 75%. � ere is plenty of positive information, checklists and advice on their website, www.heartandstroke.ca.

“It was a big wake-up call for me,” states Betty. I have been given a new set of guidelines to follow and second chance. It’s up to me to take that seriously. I can’t control what happened but I can control what happens from now on.”

Heart Attack wake-up



call leads to second chanceFollowing Canada’s Guidelines for Healthy Eating, things you can do to eat heart healthy include:• Enjoy a variety of foods

• Emphasize cereals, breads, other grain products, vegetables and fruit

• Choose lower-fat dairy products, leaner meats and foods prepared with little or no fat

• Achieve and maintain a healthy body weight by enjoying regular physical activity and healthy eating

• Limit salt, alcohol and caff eine

• Use small amounts of margarine, oils and other fats (less than 6-8 tsp/day)

• Eat fried food no more than once a week

• Choose low-fat snacks such as fruit, vegetables or plain popcorn

• Choose a variety of fi sh, poultry and lean meats. Eat no more than 2 servings a day.

• A meat serving should be no larger than a deck of cards (3 ounces/90 grams).

• Choose lower fat milk products

• Watch for hidden fats found in many bakery or grocery store items such as muffi ns, biscuits, croissants, cookies, crackers and “ready to use” meals

• Read food labels carefully for fat content

Better at Home is a new pro-gram designed to help se-niors remain independent

at home. In April of last year the Langley Senior Resources Society hosted a meeting of Community Action for Seniors’ Independence (CASI) where the home support for seniors was a major discussion topic. As a result of this meeting and

other consultations, the United Way received 15 million dollars in pro-vincial funding to institute programs for non medical home support for seniors in the province. � e pro-gram will eventually be available in 60 communities throughout B.C. and Langley is one of the � rst � ve to pilot the project.“We were part of the Community

Consultation Process,” explains Barb Stack, the Executive Director of the Langley Senior Resources Society. “We were proud to be a unanimous choice as a lead agency for this new initiative. We had a large part of the program in place already as part of our programming so it was a good � t .”� e Better at Home program will eventually provide a range of home support services that will re� ect the needs of each community. In Langley, the enhanced programs will include, transportation to appoint-ments, light housekeeping, friendly visiting, and grocery shopping.� e local program will include residents of all of Langley, City and Township, over the age of 65. All are eligible and fees are based on the household income assessed on a sliding scale and are based on the ability to pay. Some services will be o� ered for free.“� e money received from United Way will pay for administration

sta� ng and co-ordination of the program,’ says Barb. “We have been very active and vocal in trying to in-crease the services available to those seniors who have either chosen to live independently or those who have no choice � nancially. We are encouraging all seniors to apply as we will be increasing the programs as we go.”In addition to the services being rolled out in Langley in April, the Better at Home program will eventu-ally include, light yard work, minor home repairs, and snow shoveling.Janice McTaggart, the Director of Outreach and Volunteer Services for the Langley Senior Resourc-es Society is putting out a call for volunteers to put these much needed programs into place. “Langley has such a great system of volunteers and once again we are going to put them to work,” says Janice.

Dear Brookswood,How could I ever forget. Every time I see my lovely smile, I am reminded of your great work! In fact, we were on a cruise this past spring, and one dear gentleman told me I had ‘the nicest smile on the boat.” I couldn't help but agree. You do great smiles! With thanks, Francis B.

I would like to take this moment to say thank you so much for the new look you have given me. I feel so much better about myself and to think I do look ten years younger! I am so glad I found your ad and came to you for help. I am still in awe with what all took place. Never have I had that kind of attention to detail in dentures.Thank you again, take care, Bonnie

I just wanted to send you a note of thanks for all your thoughtfulness and caring in the past ten months. It was just awful to lose all of my teeth, but because of all of you, you have made it a lot easier to deal with everything. I love my new teeth. Darren, you did a great job. Thanks again to a great group of caring people. Wendy M.

Thank you so very, very much for going above and beyond ... and for listening. I truly appreciate it! Fondly, Leslie

Entertainment from an era when actors enthralled live audiences with dance, music, magic, slapstick comedy, and other

audacious acts is making an appearance in Langley.

A group of Vaudevillians will take the stage at the Fort Langley Community Hall on Saturday, Feb. 23, at 8 p.m., as Langley Centennial Museum presents: A Vaudeville Variety Show.

The event is being held in conjunction with the Museum’s exhibition Voices of the Town – History of Vaudeville in Canada. On loan from the Peterborough Museum and Archives, the display features images from the Basille Collection of Roy Studio photographs.

“We are lucky in Langley to be entertained by all kinds of talented artists and performers, but the wide range of acts taking the stage at the Community Hall will make this a truly unique experience,” said Township of Langley Cultural Services Manager Peter Tulumello. “If you are looking for fun, authentic, old-style entertainment, this is a night not to miss.”

A Vaudeville Variety Show is being produced by local resident Professor Douglas Fraser. A musicologist and entertainer with a background in vaudevillian music and performances, Fraser is an impresario of musical comedy and variety-style presentations.

Not only has he produced many shows, Fraser is a speaker, singer, comedian, and banjo and tenor guitar player who has toured with Bryan Adams, Boz Scaggs, the Knack, George Carlin, and Blood, Sweat and Tears. Earlier in life he opened for greats such as Buddy Rich, Earl Hines, Les Brown and his band of Renown, Stan Getz, and Eubie Blake.

Fraser will be the MC for the evening

and will also perform as a solo act and with the Genuine Jug Band.

“We are thrilled to have a performer of such a caliber bringing his expertise to this show,” Tulumello said. He added that Fraser will be joined on stage by a number of acts that will provide entertainment for a variety of age groups and interests, including:

• Suzie Francis and the Versatiles – a song and dance troupe whose members range in age from 55 to 95

Jammin Jamaican Juggler Matt Levy – a “Cirque” style entertainer, comedian, and award winning juggler who performs feats of movement and balance

• Rickey Mann – an accordionist extraordinaire, Mann is a composer and a regular on Vancouver’s supper club scene who has performed with Dal Richards, Lorraine McAllister, Bobby Hales, and David Foster

• Mixed Company – a local

barbershop quartet that presents familiar songs in three part harmony

• Don Alder – winner of the 2011 UK Guitar Idol competition in London, England, Alder creates a wall of sound with acoustic

finger-style guitar • Reg Donnelly – A magician

with comedic twist, Donnelly won the Cecil Ackery Comedy Trophy in 2003 and is most known for his Multiplying Bottles trick and its surprise ending

• The Genuine Jug Band – Canadian traditional jazz artists, the Band presents historically significant music with the sound and feel of the first jug bands from the turn of the century, which contributed to the evolution of jazz and blues

• Neale Bacon and his Crazy Critters Ventriloquist – an international performer, Bacon has entertained children and their families since 1977 with his entourage of puppets “In addition to this outstanding line-up of confirmed entertainers, rumour has it that a very good mind-reader will be making an guest appearance” Tulumello stated “so I am advising everyone to bring their nicest thoughts and be open to some family rated fun and entertainment” For tickets to A Vaudeville Variety Show, call 604-532-3536 or visit recexpress.ca and quote barcode 425371.

A Langley Community Music School student is bound for the Big Apple, where he will perform on one of the most famous stages in the world.

Piano student Ben Su won first prize at the 2013 New York International Art-ists Piano Competition, granting him the opportunity to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York City on Feb. 24.

“We are very proud of Ben,” said LCMS principal Susan Magnusson.

“He is an exceptional young pianist. It’s great to see yet another Langley student achieving recognition on the world stage.”

Competing in the 15 to 17 years category, 16-year-old Su played a Mozart Sonata, the Cho-pin “Black Keys” Etude, and “Dumka” by Tchai-chovsky in his prize-winning audition.

Su has had previous competitive success, and is the winner of the 2012 Performing Arts BC Provincial Music Festival in the intermediate piano cat-egory, and the 2012 Canadian Music Competition Scholarship winner in duo piano 15-18 category with LCMS stu-dent Stephen Li. At LCMS, he won the 2012 Concerto Competition.

“I’m really excited about this award and going to play at Carnegie Hall in New York,” said Su.

“It will be an amazing experience and so many professionals have played there — that provides a great deal of

motivation and inspiration to me.”Su has played the piano for 10 years, the last

seven spent at LCMS studying with Bernard Duerksen.

The Young People’s Theatre Company of Surrey is ready to set sail on an adventure of historic proportions.

It begins at an inn off the coast of England in 1775 and quickly becomes a tale of greed, lies and mayhem.

Featuring cast members from Langley, Cloverdale, Sur-rey and White Rock, this pro-duction is recommended audi-ences aged seven and up.

Performances will take place on Friday, Feb. 22 and Satur-day, Feb. 23 at 7:30 p.m. and

on Sunday, Feb. 24 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets to the evening perfor-mances are $19.75.

PRESENTSYou & The Law

Lawyer Janice Mucalov has authored several popular law books and writes about legal affairs for a variety of publications. “You and the Law” is a registered trade-mark. Copyright by Janice Mucalov.

If you’re hurt in a car crash which delays your graduation from university because you can’t study full-time, you could be entitled to money compensation, i.e., damages. Take the recent case of Amy, a 17-year old Grade 12 student (name changed to protect her).

Amy was driving a van in Burnaby, waiting to turn left at an intersection. She was rear-ended by another van driven by Mr. P. He (and another defendant) admitted the accident was his fault. The B.C. Supreme Court had to determine what amounts of money would fairly compensate Amy for her physical and psychological injuries.

Amy suffered headaches and neck, right shoulder, mid- and lower-back pain, as well as pain in her wrists and right ankle. She also suffered some emotional difficulties, such as anxiety attacks. Some of her physical injuries got better over time, but she continued to have headaches and anxiety issues, for which she took medication.

Before the accident, Amy had been an honour roll student, with grade averages of 85% and 83.7% in her first and second Grade 12 terms. In her third term, after the accident, her grade average dropped to 53.25%, and she graduated with a grade average of 78.1% for the year. Before the accident, she had planned to study engineering at UBC and take a full course load, which was a very realistic expectation given her history. Afterwards, due to the accident, she was only able to carry a part-time course load at SFU.

By the time of trial, Amy had obtained 67 of the 120 credits needed to graduate. Her graduation had already been delayed by a year and 7 months, and that delay was likely to become two years. She now planned to go on to graduate school for a Master’s degree and work in public health

or health administration.The court awarded her $70,000 as

compensation for two years of delayed university graduation. This was based on a yearly starting salary of $35,000 that she could expect to get in a suitable job after she graduated.

This case also illustrates that car crash victims may be entitled to compensation for other types of losses. Here, for example, Amy was also awarded $50,000 for her “pain and suffering,” $23,300 for loss of (past) income, $7,500 for loss of housekeeping capacity and $13,750 for costs of future care (such as physiotherapy and psychological counselling). She was also awarded some $4,300 for special damages (essentially out-of-pocket costs because of the crash).

There are other types of accident losses that may also be compensated, for example loss of future earning capacity – it depends, in each case, on what it takes to put the victim, so far as practically possible financially, in the same position as if the car crash hadn’t happened. Of course, the devil is always in the details of each particular situation, and there is often some vigorous debate between the lawyers for the victim and those of the defendant (often in reality representing an insurance company like ICBC) about what damages really are due to a particular car crash.

If you’re injured in a car crash, it makes sense to seek legal advice promptly. Your lawyer can advise you and help you obtain the compensation to which you may be entitled.

Gary aHUJaTimes Sports

When Walnut Grove Gators coach Jon Fast spoke to his players in the locker room at half-time of the championship game, he was blunt.

The coach didn’t sugarcoat what he saw, which was a dismal offensive performance that saw his team scored just six points in the first quarter and 17 in the half.

Not what one would expect from the top seed in the junior boys Langley district championship tournament.

But on the flip side, Fast had to be impressed by the defence displayed by his Gators team, which held the Brookswood Bobcats to two points in the first quarter and just 11 in the opening 16 minutes.

“In the first half, we missed around eight lay-ups and six free throws,” Fast said.

“That’s 22 points left off the board in a final. I am not happy with that.”

“But I also told them, that was probably the best defensive half of basketball I had seen.”

Walnut Grove did find its offensive game in the second half, hitting a trio of three-pointers on their way to a 41-30 victory on Thursday night at the Langley Events Centre.

“It’s only a matter of time until you find someone who heats up,” Fast said.

And for the Gators, that was Andrew McKay, who finished with 20 points, including a trio of three-pointers.

Brookswood was led by Michael Pratt and Doug Kwiatkoski, who both had 10 points apiece.

The win was the fifth straight year Walnut Grove has won the junior boys’ district title.

The Bobcats had the lead cut down to as few as five points in the fourth quarter, but the Gators had an answer reach time. Brookswood was also done in by poor foul shooting as they missed eight free throws in the final period alone.

“Brookswood plays hard every time; I respect that,” Fast said.

The teams were the top two seeds for the playoffs and during league play earlier this month, Walnut Grove defeated Brookswood 56-34.

And in the semifinals, the Gators beat Langley Fundamental in the semifinals while Brookswood beat Langley Christian.

Langley Christian won the third place game 55-49 over Langley Fundamental and all four advance to the 32-team Fraser Valley regional championships.

“For me, this is my most multi-dimensional team that I have ever had at Walnut Grove,” Fast said, pointing to the fact his 18-player team boasts depth.

“We have a bunch of guys who all have the ability to light it up.”

Walnut Grove is seeded third and hosted No. 30 Samuel Roberts Technical in the opening round yesterday (Monday).

Brookswood, which is No. 11 faced No. 22 Enver Creek at Heritage Woods while Langley Christian (No. 25) played at Lord Tweedsmuir (No. 8) and Langley Fundamental (No. 26) played at Semiahmoo (No. 7).

The top eight teams will play in the championship round from Feb. 21 to 23 at Walnut Grove Secondary.

Defence leads way

Gary aHUJaTimes Sports

A 13-0 run to start the game and then an 8-0 run at the beginning of the second half proved to be the difference for the Walnut Grove Gators as they pulled off the upset, knocking off the top-seed Brookswood Bobcats 54-32.

The teams were playing in the Langley district junior girls championship game on Thursday at the Langley Events Centre.

Brookswood was gunning for its 14th straight district championship at the junior girls level.

But the Gators used a tenacious defence which kept the high-powered Bobcats offence scoreless for five minutes in the first quarter and then six in the third period, to seize control and never let up.

Brookswood averaged 53 points per game during the regular season when they went 7-0, which included a 45-41 win over the Gators back in December, the first day of league play.

Walnut Grove was up 20-7 after

the first quarter and 34-20 at the half. They extended the lead to 20 points after three quarters and won by 18.

“We got up big and were able to maintain,” said Walnut Grove coach Mark Hodgson.

“Brookswood is a very good shooting team, a very well-coached team.

“They were never able to get into their rhythm.”

“And from the defence came the offence,” he added. “It was a big team effort.”

The Gators were led by Cassie Stea’s 26 points while Emma Smithson chipped in 10 points.

Brookswood was led by Julia McFarland’s nine points.

In addition to winning the past 13 junior girls district championships, Brookswood had won the past 14 Grade 8 titles as well. So the Walnut Grove players have been motivated all season for a shot at the Bobcats.

Top ranked

Lions no match

for GatorsGary aHUJaTimes Sports

In a heavyweight battle between the top two teams in B.C., the Walnut Grove Gators landed a knockout punch in the third quarter.

Playing before a standing-room only crowd at Abbotsford’s Yale Secondary on Saturday night in the finals of the Fraser Val-ley East high school boys basketball playoff tournament, the AAA second-ranked Gators and the top-ranked Yale Lions fought to a 41-41 stalemate at halftime.

But after the break, Walnut Grove seized control, out-scoring Yale 38-11 during a stunning third quarter, closing the frame on a decisive 26-3 run, and cruised to an 86-73 win.

“We tried to transi-tion, push the ball — we were trying to wear them down,” Gators coach George Bergen said afterward. “I think our ability to run is the best in the province, to me. I think that was the difference — when we run, we are pretty good.”

In the third quarter, Yale had no answer for Walnut Grove’s defence, which contin-uously forced missed shots and turnovers, with the Gators getting out in transition and running the ball.

Jadon Cohee paced a balanced Walnut Grove attack with 18 points, and Josh Mayorga (15 points) and Sam Shin (14) also chipped in offensively for the vic-tors.

Mayorga also came up with a couple of blocked shots while Shin had a few steals.

“We have been like that all season,” Ber-gen said about his

With their offence struggling to make baskets, the Walnut Grove Gators defence stepped up and the end result was a fifth straight Langley district title.

The Gators Grade 8 boys bas-ketball team held the R.E. Moun-tain Eagles to three points in the second quarter, turning a five-point lead into a 12-point advantage, which they would not relinquish. The final score was 44-32 for Walnut Grove.

“I think both teams strug-gled making baskets,” said Wal-nut Grove co-head coach Terry Stead.

“But the boys found a way to win.”

“Mountain played hard and it was two good teams going at it,” Stead added.

“We just out-lasted them.”A big key to the victory was

the Gators size advantage inside.Andrew Goertzen led the way

with 20 points, including all six points for his team in the third quarter and then Walnut Grove’s first eight in the fourth quarter.

For the Eagles, Andrew Song led the way with nine points.

“Defensively, I think we played well,” Stead said about his team which gave up just a dozen points in the opening half.

“We were really happy with our defence going into the

locker room.”The Gators went undefeated

during league play and won three of the five tournaments they entered.

Both Walnut Grove and Moun-tain, as well as Langley Christian and H.D. Stafford — who fin-ished third and fourth, respec-tively at districts — will be in the field for the 32-team Fraser Valley championships.

The Gators are seeded fifth while Mountain is 12th. Both teams faced their opening round

opponents — No. 28 Sands and No. 21 North Surrey — yester-day (Monday) at Walnut Grove Secondary. No. 18 Langley Chris-tian faced No. 15 Pitt Meadows at Delta Secondary while No. 19 H.D. Stafford battles No. 14 Eugene Reimer at Tamawanis Secondary.

The winners advance to the round of 16 today (Tuesday) before the final eight play in the Fraser Valley championship round (Feb. 22, 23 and 25) at Archbishop Carney.

The Langley Christian Lightning continued their dominant season, capturing the Grade 8 girls Langley district basketball championship.

The Lightning scored the game’s first six points and never looked back, defeating the H.D. Stafford Skyhawks 37-23 on Thursday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre.

The victory marked the first time in 15 years that the Brookswood Bobcats were not keeping the championship trophy after Stafford knocked them off in the semifinals.

Brookswood did rebound to take third place over Walnut Grove.

In the championship final, Katelyn Mallette scored a game-high 11 points to pace the Lightning.

And the key to the win was teamwork, said coach Cynthia Wergeland.

“Our teamwork was important today because we had two injured starters,” she said.

The pair still played but were not 100 per cent.

“The rest of the team stepped up and picked up the slack.”

After the Lightning jumped ahead 6-0, the Skyhawks cut the lead to three points after one quarter. They

extended the lead to 10 points at the half and then won by 14.

Langley Christian has lost just once all year, back at a tournament in December when they lost by two points to Abbotsford’s W.A. Fraser.

In league play, the Lightning were 8-0 and out-scored the opposition an average of 45-11. Three times, the opponent did not even reach double digits in points and the 23 points surrendered in the district final to Stafford, were the most against a Langley school in league play or the playoffs.

When Langley Christian and Stafford

played earlier in the season, the Lightning won 40-20.

Wergeland said some of the credit for the team’s success has to come from them playing together at the club level, with the Langley Hoopsters, under former Trinity Western women’s coach Danielle Gardner.

“The key to success for us will be intensity and continuing to play as a team,” Wergeland said.

Langley Christian, Stafford, Walnut Grove and Brookswood will all play at the 32-team Fraser Valley championships.

Langley Christian is seeded fourth and will host Agassiz today

(Tuesday) at 7:30 p.m.Stafford is seeded

24th and faces No. 9 Elgin Park in their opening round match at Maple Ridge Secondary.

Walnut Grove (No. 27) plays No. 6 W.A. Fraser at Fraser while Brookswood (No. 31) plays No. 2 Burnsview at Pitt Meadows Secondary.

Walnut Grove defeated Brookswood in the third-place game at districts last week.

The teams who win their opening round game advance to the round of 16 on Feb. 21 with the final eight playing in the championship round in Agassiz on Feb. 22, 23 and 25.

coaching at the high school level for the first time, said the players had this game circled on their calendar all season.

“They waited all year for this game, the district championships,” he said.

“That has been our focus right from the start.”

Overall, it has been a strong season for the Gators, with three tournament titles and just three defeats along the way: the league game to Brookswood, in the semifinals of one tournament and the finals of another.

Walnut Grove, Brookswood, Langley Christian and R.E.

Mountain will all take part in the 32-team Fraser Valley championships, which tip off today (Tuesday).

Langley Christian defeated Mountain 32-30 in the third-place game at districts.

The Gators are seeded third and will play No. 30 Guildford Park at WGSS.

No. 9 Brookswood faces No. 24 MEI at Heritage Woods while Langley Christian (No. 23) and R.E. Mountain (No. 26) face No. 10 Yale and No. 7 Earl Marriott. Both games are at Earl Marriott Secondary.

The final eight teams will play in the championship round, which runs Feb. 21 to 23 at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary.

team having multiple scoring options.

“We rarely had scorers in the 30s. It is a balanced team effort.”

The loss was just the sec-ond against Canadian compe-tition for the Lions.

“This (loss) is something that was needed,” said Yale coach Al Friesen, noting that Walnut Grove trumped his team in stats that are indic-ative of hustle — offensive rebounds, recovering loose balls, fast-break layups.

“There’s no team that’s that much better than anybody in this province, at the top. . . On a given day, it’s partly who’s hot, but who mentally comes the most ready to play and most ready to compete is going to win.”

Despite beating the prov-ince’s top-ranked team, the Gators begin play at the Fra-ser Valley championships seeded second in the 32-team draw.

Yale is third while the White Rock Christian Warriors, who beat the Gators twice this sea-son, earned the top seed.

Walnut Grove only lost three games all season against Canadian teams.

The Gators will play against No. 31 Chilliwack tomorrow (Wednesday) in an elimina-tion game. If they win, they would face either No. 15 Delta or No. 18 North Surrey. Both games are at Walnut Grove.

The Fraser Valley champi-onships continue on Feb. 25 and Feb. 28 before the final eight teams play at the Lang-ley Events Centre on March 1 and 2.

This is a very common question from automobile owners yet very few manufacturers have this listed as a regular scheduled service in the owner’s manual. Wheel alignment is necessary once it is out of specified factory settings; question is “how do I know it is out of the factory settings?” Pot holes, curbs, road debris, and normal wear and tear cause misalignment. This can lead to poor fuel economy, premature tire and suspension wear, and in some cases it can be a safety concern. Common indicators are abnormal tire wear, steer-ing wheel off centre, or pulling to one side or the other when driving. In the past, the only way to measure this was to put the

vehicle on the align-ment machine and check the settings. If they were out of proper range then adjustment was per-formed, if no adjust-ment was required the vehicle was removed from the aligner. In both cases the customer paid for

an alignment check and or ad-justment. Today with the latest equipment available an accurate four wheel alignment check can be performed in about 90 sec-onds with usually no cost to the owner. If the vehicle is found to be out of specification then the adjustments are made using the alignment rack and only at this time charges would apply. This type of technology continues to lower the cost of ownership in the automobile industry.

When is my vehicle due for a wheel alignment?
