City staying out of LSRC controversy

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

Langley City may own the land the Langley Seniors Resources Centre (LSRC) stands on, but it doesn’t have a say over how the fa-cility is operated.

Chief Administrative Offi cer Francis Cheung confi rmed to The Times that the City has been ap-proached by some mem-bers of the LSRC to appear before council to ask for council intervention.

Cheung said City staff explained that the lease agreement between the municipality and the se-niors society doesn’t give the City a say over day-to-day operations.

“The City of Langley is not on the board (of direc-tors of the centre),” Cheung said.

“We don’t have a role in terms of governing.”

The lease agreement for the property at 20605 51B Ave. is for 50 years.

In addition to donating the land, the city paid the centre $40,000 every year from 1998 to 2014 (plus a top-up $72,000 payment last year) to retire the mortgage on the building.

Last month, Sharon Birnie, the co-founder of the LSRC, told The Times

the internal dissension at the centre has reached the point where the City of Langley should take over running the facility.

“It could be a parks and rec (department) run cen-tre,” Birnie said.

If the current battles con-tinue, Birnie said she fears the result will be the “de-struction of a fabulous sup-port system for seniors.”

Birnie sent an email message to the current president and board of di-rectors of the centre soci-ety in April to ask that her name be removed from the centre’s main hall and that “any other signage and advertising that uses my name be discontinued.”

Critter Care intern Yubi Kuroda shows one of the young raccoons she cares for to visitors at the Langley wildlife rescue facility open house on the weekend. Hundreds of people attended. Kuroda, who took questions from visitors, is a veterinary techni-cian from Japan who decided to switch careers to work on wildlife rescue.

Shockwave Pain Relief TreatmentShockWave Therapy in Orthopedics has been clinically researched and proven in journals such as

Amercian Journal of Sports Medicine, Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, Foot & Ankle International,American Journal of Orthopedics and Related Research and more!

Shock waves are high-energy acoustic (sound) waves that are used to penetrate the skin to treat an injured area in the body. Thereis a high release of energy at the soft tissue/bone interface. The release of energy from the shock waves within the region of theaffected tissues and the resultant compression and tension of cells creates a positive physiological effect. Mechano - transduction is thephysiological effect thought to be responsible for stimulating normal and injured cells to produce healing factors.

More than 80% of patients report improvement after the first treatment of the program.Most studies report a full healing rate of 65-85% after completion of the treatment program.

ShockWave Therapy involves using a hand-held probe to focus shock waves on the affected tissue and surrounding healthy tissue toinduce physiological response that will initiate healing. It is important to accurately define the treatment area through appropriatediagnostics. We do that through taking in the patient’s concise pain history, palpation, x-rays, ultrasound, MRI etc. This ensures themost effective delivery of shock waves into the affected region.

When applied to the skin, it allows an increased blood supply to the treated area by stimulation ofneovascularization and growth Factors. Other benefits of ShockWave Therapy include:

What are shockwaves?

How does it work?

• Re-initiates stagnant healing processes in chronicinjuries

• Decreases inflammatory processes• Stimulates osteoclasts and fibroblasts torebuild injured tissues

• Facilitates resorption of calcifications in tendonsand ligaments

• Stimulates migration (differentiation) of stem cells

Society board chair Shauna Sail-er has said the board was “sad-dened” by the request, and hoped she would change her mind.

Birnie told The Times she doesn’t want her name associated with the centre any more because of the current dispute over spending cuts and policy changes that she believes has brought the centre to the point of collapse.

Birnie said the centre managed to handle big deficits in the past without upsetting members and forcing out long-time staff, some-thing she says the current admin-istration has done.

Several centre employees have either quit or gone on medical leave since the board appointed new management with a man-date to cut costs, including food expenses for the centre cafe and what was described as “exces-sive” overtime by employees.

In May, by a three-to-one mar-gin, the board of directors won a show-of-hands vote on a resolu-tion that would have removed the entire board of directors.

Several hundred people attend-ed the meeting, overflowing the main hall into the foyer.

Sailer said the people campaign-ing against the changes at the centre were a “select, small group … who appear to be on a mission to destroy the very foundation of this society.”

She said the critics do not ap-pear to understand the society has a deficit of $95,000 that must be addressed.


Leaks have been discovered in the $33.5 million East Langley Water Supply pipeline.

A project update by the Township engi-neering division to council says the problem was uncovered during pressure testing of the line east of 248 Street.

The unsigned July 2 memo says the pipe-line manufacturer “has recently advised of quality control issues necessitating replace-ment of some sections [of pipe].”

A “specialized sub-contractor” has been hired to fi x the leaks by replacing sections of

pipe, the memo goes on to say.Similar issues have arisen in Surrey and

Vancouver, the report says.The repair work will be done at the ex-

pense of the “contractor and/or pipe manu-facturer” the report states, but the work will delay completion of the pipeline.

The current completion date is now pro-jected to be Aug. 23 and could be moved back based on weather and site conditions, the memo cautions.

So far, over 13 kilometres of the 14-kilo-metre water pipeline has been installed be-tween Willoughby and East Langley, and a

new pump station has been completed in Murrayville.

Roughly 80 metres of pipe remain to be in-stalled along the west bank of the Salmon River ravine by July 24, at which point testing will begin.

The project will connect Aldergrove and Gloucester to Metro Vancouver’s water sys-tem.

Township planners expect the East Lang-ley Water Supply will bring an end to the se-vere watering restrictions that east Langley residents and businesses have faced during summer months to avoid depleting the aqui-fers. Work on the water pipeline got under-way in May of 2013.

High levels of debt mean many B.C. households may be under serious fi nancial pres-sure once a long-expected climb in interest rates fi nally begins.

British Columbians had an average of $99,834 in household debt in 2014, according to a new survey by Pollara conducted for BMO’s annual debt report.

That’s up more than 26 per cent from $79,089 in 2013.

According to the report, 58 per cent of B.C. households car-ry credit card debt despite the high interest rates they charge. That’s well above the national average of 52 per cent. It found 44 per cent in B.C. have mort-gages and 10 per cent have stu-dent loans.

Seventy-one per cent of B.C. respondents with house-hold debt said they would be stressed if interest rates rose two points — signifi cantly more than the national average

of 64 per cent or 59 per cent of Albertans who said a two-point hike would be stressful.

“The sizable number of in-debted households that would feel very strained by a relative-ly moderate increase in inter-est rates is concerning,” BMO senior economist Sal Guatieri said.

“This is a worrisome side ef-fect of a prolonged period of low interest rates and needs to be closely monitored, especial-ly if rates continue to fall.”

Guatieri said the rising house-hold debt levels may be part-ly explained in some areas by rapidly rising home prices that spur buyers to take on larger mortgages.

Bank offi cials say an eventual rise in rates to normal levels is inevitable and families should stress-test their ability to with-stand the increase and manage their fi nances in a higher rate environment.

A typical Surrey house now selling for $689,000 requires

mortgage payments of $2,840 a month, assuming a 2.7 per cent rate, 10 per cent down payment and 25-year amortization. A two-point rise to 4.7 per cent would take that payment up to $3,500.

Too many people in the Low-er Mainland in particular are buying homes at prices that leave them barely able to cov-er the mortgage and associat-ed household costs, said Gary Tymoschuk, vice-president of operations for the Credit Coun-selling Society.

“Then you throw on an extra credit card or two and it makes it very tight in terms of manag-ing all the debt,” he said.

The society is already called on to help signifi cant numbers of people in fi nancial trouble but it expects the need to in-crease when rates climb.

“A lot of British Columbians are living pretty close to that wire in terms of our overall in-debtedness versus what we can afford to pay,” Tymoschuk said.

Tourism Langley benefi ted from a seven-per-cent increase in overnight hotel stays in 2014, collecting an additional $25,445 from the munici-pal hotel room tax.

The two per cent tax, which applies to approx-imately 360 hotel rooms in the city and 1,600 rooms in the Township, generated 79 per cent of revenue for Tourism Langley in 2014.

However funding sources for the agency remain a “complex and unstable” mix of private and pub-lic money, according to the Tourism Langley 2014 fi scal year report.

The report, distributed to Township coun-cil members at the end of June, shows Tourism

Langley spent $527,135 promoting the City and Township to visitors through online and social media. It plans to spend $650,225 in 2015.

An unsigned memo to council from Tourism Langley says there were more than 150,000 visits to the Tourism Langley website in 2014, a 57 per cent hike.

“Further, Tourism Langley experienced a tri-pling of social media followers to some 8,600 Facebook followers and 5,300 Twitter followers,” the memo says.

The report notes the agency closed its walk-in visitors centre at the Langley Events Centre be-cause the number of people using the facility had dropped by 16.6 per cent from 2013 to 2014, this after a 44.5 per cent drop from 2012 to 2013.

A third generation Langley resident has been named as the 51-year-old man killed in a basement suite fi re in Surrey on July 4.

Gerald Jorgenson died at the scene, after Surrey fi refi ghters pulled him out of the burning

home just before 1 a.m. His landlords called 911 to report the fi re, which may have been caused by a burning cigarette.

His mother, Carol, said Ger-ald’s grandfather, Alfred Jor-genson owned 20 acres of land across from Trinity Western University.

Gerald leaves behind three

daughters, all in their 20s.He was a ‘Langley boy’ attend-

ing Glenwood Elementary and then Brookswood Secondary, she said.

“He was considered the nicest guy,” said his mom.

His funeral was held Monday at Henderson’s Funeral in Lang-ley.

A group of girls sold iced tea for 50 cents a cup at 83 Avenue and 211 Street in Langley on Friday. They were ready to go, rain or shine, and made $80.35 in three hours. All the money will be dropped off by the girls this week to the Langley Animal Protection Society. The sales team was: Ella and Eva Jones-Ullrich ages 8 and 11 months, Katelon and Hailey Darnel, 8, and Ellaena Iverson, 10. They planned to be out again this week, collecting donations for the Langley animal shelter.

B.C.’s has a strong appetite for marijua-na reform with more than 70 per cent of respondents to a new poll urging either legalization or decriminalization.

The Insights West survey found 67 per cent said they support outright legaliza-tion, 28 per cent opposed it and fi ve per cent were undecided.

Support was slightly stronger among women, the under-35 age group and Van-couver Island residents, but at least 65 per cent back legalization in every region and within each age group.

“There’s a lot of support for this,” said In-sights West vice-president Mario Canseco.

He said the results are a further climb from about 55 per cent support in B.C. a decade ago, and follows legalization

moves in U.S. states and a growing num-ber of B.C. public fi gures endorsing reform over the years.

A separate question asked which pot re-form option most closely fi ts their view.

Legalization was on top with 38 per cent, while 24 per cent said it should be decrim-inalized, 27 per cent said it should only be available for medical purposes, and seven per cent want it to always be illegal.

Asked about the pros and cons of legal-ization, 87 per cent said taxing pot would generate useful revenues and more than three-quarters said cannabis has legiti-mate medical and health benefi ts, existing dispensaries are a safer method of access than drug dealers, and that legalization would let police focus on other priorities.

Sixty-seven per cent believed gang vio-lence tied to the illegal drug trade would

decline.Presented with a list of arguments

against legalization, the top concern cited by 58 per cent was that it would result in more drug-impaired driving.

Relatively few (35 per cent or less) agreed with concerns expressed by federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose — that legaliza-tion would increase risks of mental illness such as schizophrenia in some users and lead to greater use among children and teens.

More than two-thirds of those polled endorsed the City of Vancouver decision to regulate existing medical marijuana dispensaries that sell pot illegally there rather than shut them down as Ambrose urged.

Canseco said the tough talk from Am-brose in recent weeks is likely aimed at

buffi ng the Tories tough-on-crime reputa-tion to hang onto Conservative votes else-where in Canada leading up to this fall’s federal election.

“I don’t think she was appealing to the B.C. voters,” he said. “I think she was ap-pealing to the hard core Conservative base in other parts of the country that don’t want to see this legalized.”

Health Canada last week announced it will now let approved commercial produc-ers of medical marijuana make and sell cannabis oil — in addition to dried bud — but not other edible products such as pot brownies and cookies.

That move followed a Supreme Court of Canada ruling in June that it is unconstitu-tional for the government to limit access to medical marijuana to just the dried form.

Residents of Langley Township have health-ier-than-average habits compared to most Met-ro Vancouver residents, a new survey by the Fraser Health Authori-ty shows.

By small margins, they are less likely to smoke (eight per cent compared to 11 per cent for all of Metro), more likely to exercise (49 per cent compared to 44 per cent for Metro) and have more friends than their counter-parts in other commu-nities (48 per cent of Township respondents report having four or more people they can confi de in, compared to 45 per cent for Metro).

Perhaps because of that, the Township res-idents tended to rate their overall mental and physical health slightly higher, with 50 per cent reporting excellent or very good physical health com-pared to 49 per cent in Metro, while 63 per cent of Township resi-dent rated their men-tal health excellent or very good compared to 57 per cent of Metro residents.

However, Langley res-ident were also heavier than average, with 29 per cent reporting obe-sity compared to 22 per cent for all of Metro.

And they were far less likely to walk or cycle for errands at seven per cent of re-spondents compared to 20 per cent for Met-ro.

They were even less likely to take public transit, with just eight per cent of Township residents using the limited local bus ser-vice compared to 28 per cent of Metro resi-dents.

The Langley details from the “My Health,

My Community” sur-vey were presented to Township council at the July 9 meeting by Dr. Victoria Lee, Chief Medical Health Offi -cer and VP, Population Health at Fraser Health.

Doctor Lee said about 1,000 Langley resident were surveyed for the study, the largest com-munity health survey conducted in B.C.

In all, there were 33,000 responses to the joint survey by the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser health author-ities, carried out be-tween June 2013 and July 2014.

“It [the study] is a sig-nifi cant achievement,” Lee said.

“We’re trying to get a neighbourhood-level analysis.”

The survey also shows more Township residents reported hav-ing a family doctor — 87 per cent, compared to 83 per cent for Met-ro — a fi nding that was questioned by some on

council.Lee said it appears

some people who only go to walk-in medical clinics were reporting that as having a family doctor.

Detailed survey re-sults can be found on-line at www.myhealth-mycommunity.org.

Should the City of Langley pay to dredge Brydon Lagoon?

Are you taking any measures beyond what is required by Metro Van to curb your water use??of the week

Questionwe asked you:Last Week

It was a terrible sight that greeted visitors to Brydon Lagoon on the B.C. Day long weekend last year.

Thousands of dead fi sh fl oated on the sur-face of the Langley City pond — the victims,

it was later established, of a deadly combination of high water temperatures and depleted oxygen levels.

This year, as the mercury rose through late June and continued to hit record breaking levels all over B.C. during the fi rst days of July, the alarm began to sound once more among local environmentalists.

What if it happens again?Thanks to the efforts of Langley Field Naturalists and

the City of Langley, that scenario is somewhat less likely.Since last year’s disaster, the City has purchased and in-

stalled a bubbler system to aerate the water from below, and plans are in place to add even more tubing, expanding its reach across the bottom of the lagoon.

This is a good fi rst step.But it’s not a stretch to assume that the long periods of

hot, dry weather we’ve been experiencing could become the norm in future summers. Add to that, the fact that over the years, sediment has been building up on the bot-tom of the pond. Some estimate that its overall depth has been reduced by half since it was fi rst measured in the mid 1980s.

Shallower water heats more quickly, and that’s bad news for all its inhabitants.

Since the fi sh kill — and probably even before that — there have been calls to dredge the lagoon.

It’s a solution that has been met with mixed response, with many suggesting the cost — in the millions — would be prohibitive.

Brydon is described as a “jewel” of the City by many who stroll its banks and come to feed the resident waterfowl. From that perspective, there’s an argument to be made that it’s worth the money to preserve it in its best possible state.

But rather than try to justify an immediate lump sum expenditure, perhaps it makes sense to start setting aside a bit of cash every year, with a plan to dredge once the funds are place.

Of course, the longer it takes, the more work there will be to do and the more that work will cost.

It’s obvious the provincial government isn’t taking local water quality, the economy or ecosystems seriously.

It was reported at a recent Okanagan Basin Water Board meeting that Victoria continues

to provide insuffi cient money to keep invasive mussels from arriving in local lakes and bureaucrats have left a proposed protocol for blue green algae in limbo.

When it comes to zebra and quagga mussels, funding three mobile stations searching boats at the Alberta bor-der won’t cut it.

“We are trying to put pressure on the provincial govern-ment to do more and have fi ve (permanent) inspection stations,” said OBWB director Juliette Cunningham.

“There is a cost if we don’t stop them (mussels) from arriving here.”

They clog water intake pipes, pumps and boat motors. They also deplete food sources for fi sh and produce toxins that kill fi sh and birds and contaminate drinking water.

In terms of blue green algae, the substance can impact beaches and water intakes.

A protocol to handle the algae began being developed in 2013, and it was supposed to be released in the spring, but nothing has happened.

“There’s a draft in place, sitting on the desk of the dep-uty minister of health,” said Anna Warwick Sears, OBWB executive director.

With both the mussels and the algae, the lack of leader-ship from the provincial government means critical infra-structure is at risk as is public health and the economy.

It’s time for the various government agencies involved to get with the program.

All anyone can do is ask“I just need help,” she said, as her

eyes fi lled with tears.Arlene was sitting on a bench at

the front of the Langley Times offi ce, dressed in bike shorts and a tank top, and carrying what I presumed to be all her worldly possessions in a back-pack, when she looked up at me and uttered those four words.

If you’ve spent much time in the City of Langley, you’ve likely seen her. She lives (and works) on the streets — and has done for years.

She’s slim and blond and always has a bright grin for anyone passing by.

Lately, though, it’s been getting harder for her to smile. Life on the streets has always been a tough slog, but it seems to somehow be getting worse, she told me.

The recent murder of Miles, a homeless Langley man, on a downtown street only served to underscore her point.

“It’s hard,” she said. “You can’t sleep be-cause it’s too dangerous.”

She’s afraid all the time, and she’s had enough.

Like most people living rough, Arlene didn’t end up there by choice. Not really.

“People don’t understand why we’re on the street,” she said.

In her case, it was personal tragedy that proved to be the tipping point.

Arlene’s daughter was almost 13 when she died suddenly in 2001. After that, the Surrey woman’s grief took over.

She attempted to fi ll the hole left by her lost child with alcohol and cocaine.

Eventually, she ended up on the street, doing what she had to do, to earn enough money to stay alive and to pay for whatever would keep the demons at bay.

From Surrey, Arlene made her way to the City. She had been sleeping in a tent, but that, she claimed, was taken away by bylaw enforcement.

Five bikes, which she purchased for $20

each (and, yes, she’s well aware of where they came from) were all sto-len in succession.

It’s a problem, she said, because she’s just regaining the ability to walk after her legs were run over by a vehicle last February.

It happened, she told me, as a “bad date” sped off when she jumped out of his truck. That was before he came back and stole her purse.

Released from hospital after a few months, she was back on street. Desperation brought her into the

newspaper offi ce on a Friday morning.Could I write a story? Maybe somebody

would read it and offer to help. What about Gateway of Hope? I asked her.

Ishtar? A coworker mentioned a shelter she knew of in Vancouver.

Every suggestion brought fresh tears and a burst of frustration.

“You don’t understand,” she said. “I can’t sleep in the same place with other

people. I just can’t do it.”An apartment would cost more than she

can pay. She’s on a list for affordable hous-ing, but securing a place could take a year, she said.

Her hope is that someone has a suite they’d be willing to rent to her at an afford-able price. Once she’s got a safe place to stay, she said, she can work on addiction recovery in a day program.

Her level of honesty, I felt, deserved an equally honest response.

I told her I didn’t know whether anyone would be willing to take a chance on her. With her addiction issues and her line of work, it’s a lot to hope that someone would feel they could trust her enough to rent to her. And she understands that.

But I also told her that she deserves a bet-ter life if that’s what she wants, and that I would do what I could to get the word out.

When we need help, all we can do is ask.

Editor: It’s obvious people don’t want explanations in our attention defi cient world.

So, surrendering to this devolution in communication, I will try to keep this short and as near as possible to the 12-second attention span which studies show is about all people have anymore.

Trinity Western University was in the news again recently for losing its court case in Ontario.

And well it should have lost, be-cause no religion — no beliefs system rooted in ancient folklore — should trump human rights and dignity.

It’s time religion stops getting the levels of deference that it does in any modern society.

The best way to do that is to stop giving churches and other religious institutions tax free status.

It is ridiculous and suicidal for any modern society to fund those very organizations which promote the re-pression of others, from gays to wom-an, and consign them to the role of second-class citizens.

End of story. ROBERT T. ROCK

MISSION

Editor: Congratulations to the 62 per cent who voted “No” on the transit plebiscite.

Despite an un-level playing fi eld, the electorate has sent a clear message to government.

If Christy Clark has any urge to ignore the results and push an increase through anyway, she should remember that she could not even get elected in her own riding during the last provincial election.

In fact, most of the mayors’ group should now be looking for other work. Never has there been a more blatant display of arrogance and disdain for the voters who elected them and who pay their salaries — pro-moting their own agenda and paying with taxpayer dollars. Being elected means working for the people’s agenda.

That we can use an improved transit system is not in ques-tion, but changing how gov-ernment operates is.

Two main issues need to be resolved before a new transit program is created.

First, the province has al-ready tapped out the taxpayer — tax increases from numer-ous sources such as reduced income tax exemption, hydro rates after new meter instal-lation, auto insurance, ferry rates, bridge tolls, medical pre-miums and more, are far above the infl ation rate.

In fact, these taxes are not included in the infl ation rate and so increases to our costs of living are wildly distorted.

And what are they doing with all the extra money, any-way?

Second, traffi c is not con-gested, it is saturated and it is as much engineered as it is

over-peopled. Consider the following: Cre-

ating bike lanes at the ex-pense of vehicles (bike lanes should be elevated or out of the way instead of robbing road space), eliminating right-hand turns and increasing in-tersection light intervals for many blocks to accommodate bikes, buses stopping in mov-ing lanes instead of pull-outs, shutting down “fast” lanes during morning rush for cen-tre median gardening or street sweeping (the rest of the world works on a 24-hour clock, so why not gardening?), perma-nent road closures, underused HOV lanes, over-installation of speed bumps and traffi c circles, still building two-lane roads and bridges knowing that a million people are on the way and desynchronized traffi c lights.

And now they want to build road-level light rail and elimi-nate the Georgia Viaduct.

As a former host of the 1986 Transportation Expo to show-case the world, maybe now is the time to bring back the rick-shaw.

Maybe transit and token fi re dousing is not the real prob-lem, because there is still a 38 per cent minority that wants to give government more and more control in spite of achiev-ing results that would bank-rupt any private organization. The term is called plutocracy (I wonder if that has anything to do with Pluto being way out there).

Donald Trump has it right: “Why are we allowing govern-ment to do this?”

RICHARD KEILL,

LANGLEY

Editor: After watching the news recently, it is unfortunate that the region’s mayors and TransLink management still do not get the message.

This was not a necessarily a vote against Lower Mainland citizens paying for regional transit, but it was a vote against giving TransLink more money and the misspending of that money.

The mayors are more concerned about raising property taxes in their term of offi ce rather than using this mechanism to fund cur-rent and long-term sustainable solutions to the region’s trans-portation issues. This self-inter-est —NIMTOO (Not In My Term of Offi ce) — thinking over the past 30 or more years has created many of today’s problems with Lower Mainland regional transportation.

TransLink should be abolished and its leadership removed and both replaced by a cost-effective organization that is accountable

for its services and actions in pro-viding those services.

Regional transportation issues need to be addressed equitably and involve all who inhabit the region. Funding for schools, wa-ter, sewer are examples of regional costs shared at the property tax level.

Whether we, as inhabitants of the region, use roads, rail, or side-walks as we walk, cycle, ride buses, use SkyTrain and — yes — drive, the total cost of the infrastructure needs to be shared across the re-gion by each one of us.

An equitable sharing of these costs would be to have them iden-tifi ed as a bundle of total costs, as they exist now and what will be needed for the future.

A “base” for this bundle of total costs would then assessed across the region against individual prop-erty taxes. Renters would pay the tax in the their rents.

In addition, a user fee for each

service would be established so that users pay a fee for their direct use to maintain and sustain this infrastructure.

For example, cyclists would pay an annual licensing fee to offset the cost of the building and main-taining bike lanes, transit users would pay for their use of the bus-es and SkyTrain, and drivers would pay for using road and bridge in-frastructure by way of tolls. This would spread the cost and respon-sibility among all users and not benefi t one group at the cost of another.

Existing transit and like taxes and levies that are currently be-ing collected at the pump and elsewhere would be reviewed and eliminated, as would similar tax-es and levies collected in BC Hy-dro bills, the Carbon Tax, etc., and be replaced by this more direct, equitable and sustainable solution.

The Nicomekl river be-ing so close by, I do not see why it should be such a problem to sup-ply the water necessary to top up the lagoon from it in times of need.

I am sure that it can be done and it would not break the City’s bank.

Richard Bulpitt Park was officially opened by Township of Lang-ley Council and mem-bers of the Bulpitt family at 20965 – 77A Ave. on July 8.

A teacher, princi-pal, and administra-tor with the Langley School District for 35 years, Bulpitt made a lasting impression on Langley’s educa-tion system and in the community as a whole.

“He didn’t just teach students arithmetic and how to read and write,” said Mayor Jack Froese.

“He taught them the value and the impor-tance of having an education.”

Born in England in 1943, Bulpitt was a sports enthusiast who was active in soccer, basketball, and track, and went on to coach locally.

Bulpitt was a prin-cipal at Langley Fine Arts School, Belmont, Fort Langley, and Noel Booth Elemen-tary schools before serving as Langley’s Superintendent of Schools from 1996 to 2001.

The father of five children and grand-father of 17, along with his wife Valerie served as mission-aries, based in Hong Kong, where they su-pervised welfare proj-ects throughout Asia.

It was during a trip to Hanoi, Vietnam in 2007, that Bulpitt suf-fered a fatal heart at-tack.

Richard Bulpitt Park includes two sand turf soccer fields, a baseball backstop, a

trail for cyclists and pedestrians, and a children’s play area. It shares a parking lot and washroom with the adjacent Richard Bulpitt Elementary School, which opened in September, 2013.

“I know people ofall ages will get a lotof enjoyment out ofRichard Bulpitt Parkfor years to come, andthat Richard’s nameand memory will liveon for generations,”Mayor Froese said.

Rachel Fitz had a little trouble sleeping the night before her second fundraiser for Rwanda.

The 13-year-old from Surrey had a lot to think about.

Would the turnout for the ride in Langley be better than the fi rst year when eight riders took part in the kids-only fundrais-er for Wellspring Foundation’s efforts to improve education in the central-African nation.

Would the event raise more than the $5,000 it brought in last year?

Would there be enough volun-teers to guide the riders on the

route that began at Derby Reach park?

As it turned out the answer was yes on all counts.

“I’m very happy,” a pleased Rachel said as 57 riders pre-pared to begin the Saturday morning ride.

On the day of the event, more than $18,000 in donations had come in, and more was expect-ed.

Her father Mark said the re-sults “exceeded our wildest ex-pectations.”

“We are so proud of our girl,” Mark told The Times.

“She did an amazing job right from the initial planning meet-

ings, to handwriting 24 thank-you cards to all the volunteers, to an unrehearsed speech thanking the riders, volunteers, donors and key organizers.”

Rachel and her family lived in Rwanda for three years, doing missionary work.

The poverty, especially among the children, made a lasting im-pression.

And after she volunteered at Wellspring’s Lake2Lake ride in the Okanagan, she had an idea.

“We should do a kids’ ride,” she said.

Plans are already underway for next year’s ride.

- with fi les from Black Press

Rachel Fitz and her dad, Mark, were in Langley’s Derby Reach park two weekends ago for the second annual ride to raise funds for Rwanda, organized by the 13-year-old girl from Surrey. Although she wasn’t sure how the event would go, in the end 57 riders took part and she raised $18,000, to help provide a better education for children in Rwanda.

The B.C. legislature is back in session this week, a rare sum-mer sitting to approve a 25-year project agreement for the fi rst large-scale liquefi ed natural gas project in northern B.C.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong released the lengthy legal agreement prior to the debate, saying this step should remove any doubt that an international investment group led by Petro-nas of Malaysia intends to go ahead.

With billions invested in up-stream resources and buyers waiting at home, the Pacifi c Northwest LNG group includes Chinese state corporation Sino-pec, Indian Oil Corp., Japan Pe-troleum Exploration Corp. and Petroleum Brunei.

The most contentious issue is the government’s intention to protect the investors from “discriminatory” tax and regu-lations for the life of the project. The government insists these sorts of long-term cost certainty agreements are commonplace, and don’t affect provincial and federal taxes or environmental regulations unless they single out LNG operations.

Future governments can raise corporate tax rates, carbon tax or enter into a cap and trade system.

Ottawa can scrap capital cost allowances that were recent-ly extended to LNG producers, which is signifi cant because Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has indicated he would get rid of what he calls subsidies to fossil fuels.

Both the province and Otta-wa allow capital cost write-offs

against corporate tax, to attract investment.

B.C. attracted a lot of gas drilling rigs from Alberta with tax breaks for deep drilling.

The B.C. government invited comparisons with Western Austra-lia LNG producers, and NDP researchers did just that.

They noted that Aus-tralia’s Gorgon and North West Shelf LNG projects have written provisions that local employ-ment and local suppliers will get preference.

Those are absent in B.C., along with apprenticeship guarantees for LNG.

“There was hard bargaining by the companies, and cer-tainly the premier went into this negotiation in a very weak position, having to deliver on her extravagant and grandiose promises from the election,” NDP critic Bruce Ralston said.

“The companies did well. Whether the citizens of British Columbia did well is certainly an open question.”

Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver painted himself into a corner, having spent the last two years dismissing the B.C. LNG industry as a fantasy that will never come to pass, strictly on economic grounds.

He has since branded the Petronas deal, a template for any future projects, a “genera-tional sellout.”

Another big player with gas well investments in northeast B.C. is Shell, with a proposal for Kitimat.

Its prospects have improved since it took over British Gas Group, which had its own LNG intentions here.

Another group led by Altagas remains on track to ship LNG from its Douglas Channel site before the end of the decade.

It’s important to re-member that without

LNG exports, B.C.’s natural gas industry will shrink rapidly af-ter 50 years of increasingly sig-nifi cant revenues from sales to the U.S.

Leaving aside all the political positioning around the prov-ince’s largest private invest-ment to date, if this doesn’t go ahead we will all feel the ef-fects.

De Jong had a blunt response when asked what the province gets in return for all its guar-antees of low tax environment: “Their money.”

At peak construction, Pacif-ic Northwest LNG will need as many as 4,500 workers, with 500 or more operations jobs de-pending on how far it expands.

The fi nance ministry forecasts that once Pacifi c Northwest LNG is up and running, it rep-resents $9 billion in revenues to the province over 10 years, in-cluding gas royalties and taxes. That’s more than taxpayers can expect from the entire forest in-dustry.

An air quality advisory for Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley due to wildfi re smoke blowing into the region has been lifted.

Lower Mainland residents are breathing easier because of more favourable wind conditions from a change in the weather pattern.

“We’ve seen wind coming from a cleaner direc-tion,” said Julie Saxton, an air quality planner for Metro Vancouver.

“That wind has been quite strong in places. That has brought us some cleaner air and helped move the smoke out of our area.”

The advisory was fi rst issued on July 4 for Metro Vancouver and unprecedented levels of fi ne par-ticulate three to four times the region’s objective were measured at several test stations over the initial 24 hours.

“This has been a very unusual and diffi cult week for everybody here,” Saxton said.

“The concentrations of fi ne particulate matter we saw, especially in the early part of the week on Sunday and Monday, were among the highest I’ve ever seen for this area.”

Saxton said the arrival of cloud and cooler tem-peratures by Friday helped stop the generation of ground-level ozone, which is caused when nitro-gen oxides and volatile organic compounds (from vehicle emissions, solvents and vegetation) react in sunlight on hot days.

It’s impossible to say whether the smoke will be back in the days ahead, Saxton said, noting wildfi re activity and wind direction are both un-predictable.

Residents can get real-time data on air quality and short-term forecasts online at bcairquality.ca or airmap.ca.

A record number of participants will take part in the fourth an-nual Prospera Valley GranFondo.

“We are super close to selling out,” said event director Marc Campbell on Tuesday morning.

The fourth annual mass cycling event be-gins and ends at the Fort Langley Historical Site on Sunday (July 19) with all of the rid-ers departing at 7 a.m.

The ride was sold-out in 2014 with 1,200 riders and the max-imum for this year’s event is 1,500.

The GranFondo of-fers three distances: the 50-km PrestoFon-do, the 88-km Medio-Fondo and the 160-km GranFondo.

The latter route takes cyclists from Fort Langley south through Langley’s country roads, along Zero Avenue, along Sumas Prairie, up and over Sumas Mountain and back to Fort Lang-ley along the Matsqui Flats and through Glen Valley along the

Fraser River.Helping everything

go smoothly on Sun-day will be the team of 270 volunteers.

Some new things are

also in store for this year’s ride.

London Drugs will have a mobile photo booth on site and will snap a picture of each

rider as they cross the fi nish line and have the picture ready min-utes later.

Save-on-Foods will be supplying fruit and other snacks for the riders.

Another change is having more variety for post-ride food as there will be three food trucks on site: Hotties will be serv-ing pasta, Chili Tank is offering chili and Wilkyz has burgers and smokies.

And one other change will be some more kid-friendly ac-tivities, including a bouncy castle and co-louring.

“We are trying to turn this into a mini-festival,” Camp-bell said.

The event is operat-ed by Canadian Velo Events Management Society, a non-profi t society devoted to cre-ating cycling events that are accessible within the Fraser Val-ley. The money raised will be split among the ride’s charitable partners, Cycling BCs iRide program, Devo and Bridge the Gap.

Close to 1,500 riders are expected for Sunday’s fourth annual Prospera Valley GranFondo mass cy-cling event, which begins and ends in Fort Langley.

Farmers are look-ing to the sky — and to dancers — to lend a hand with their crops.

Growers concerned by recent drought con-ditions are organizing a rain dance to highlight the important role of water in growing crops.

The public is invited to join farmers at the Langley Community Farmers Market today (Wednesday, July 15) at 3 p.m., to take part in a rain dance and to par-ticipate in water con-servation awareness activities.

The market takes place on each Wednes-day, from 2 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Kwantlen Polytechnic Universi-ty’s Langley campus at Glover Road and the Bypass.

Farmers will lead a rendition of Singing in the Rain at 3 p.m. Throughout the after-noon the Langley En-vironmental Partners Society will be on hand with water conserva-tion tips and activities.

Children can make raindrops to take home or to give to farmers at the market.

“We see the dry con-ditions impacting farm-ers across the province,” said Paige Dampier, co-chair of the Langley Community Farmers Market Society.

“For farmers with limited water access, this creates stress as their crops are impact-ed. Other growers are challenged by the errat-ic timing of pests and harvesting, given the intense heat we have been experiencing.”

Water conservation is important across the region for farmers and city dwellers alike.

Metro Vancouver res-ervoirs are low and in-dications are that 2015

will continue to be a hot, dry summer.

While the market society wants to raise awareness around wa-ter and agriculture, the intention for the day is

to have fun.“Bring your umbrella

to the market — wheth-er for rain or as a para-sol — and show your local farmers some support,” said Dampier.

Want to rezone? Know the rules.Do you have a creative idea on how to increase the value of property you own? You may need to “rezone” to allow, say, a small apartment building in a part of town currently zoned only for single family dwellings. This means you’d have to apply to city hall to change the use you’re allowed to make of the land on which you plan to build.

Long gone are the days when you could do pretty much whatever you want on your own land. Land use is tightly regulated by official community plans and zoning by-laws, and pro-posed developments are often opposed by affected neighbours. But our B.C. Court of Appeal recently made clear that, if you know and follow the rules, your rezoning proposal can succeed – despite the often vocal objections of “not in my back yard” (NIMBY) oppo-nents.

In this case, a developer basically wanted to swap properties. It needed a development permit for a new afford-able housing project on its own prop-erty. It would then swap that property for the city-owned property across the street, which it needed rezoned so it could build a new residential tower there.

A newly formed community associa-tion tried to set aside the rezoning and development permit. It argued the process the city followed was flawed – that the public hearing held by the city for the rezoning should have given more and clearer information, not only about the property to be rezoned, but also about the land swap and proposed new housing project (adding 75 more social housing units to the area), which the city got in exchange.

Some people were concerned property values would drop due to the increase in social housing and some wanted a nearby park expanded instead.

The appeal court emphasized that the rules only call for a public hearing for a rezoning (and the property being rezoned). They don’t call for a public hearing on development permits, for which there are separate rules, nor for the how the city buys, sells or exchang-es property as part of managing its business.

Here, the city had put on its website all relevant information the council had in front of it for its rezoning deci-sion – so the public could contribute well-informed and meaningful input on the rezoning. In fact, the city had done more than the rules required. It set out not only what it received from the developer in return, but also explained key aspects of the proposed new affordable housing project, which needed no public hearing or input.

The court said that for some things the city does, the city has to act “quasi-judicially” and is accountable to the courts, but said there was no fault with the public process here. For other func-tions like the land swap, there are good reasons why the rules are different and the city is only accountable to public opinion, at the ballot box come voting time.

Planning to rezone or subdivide? It’s technical, so get good legal help early.

In fact, July and August is the perfect me to update the interior of one’s

“At this me people can enjoy their meals at backyard barbecue’s or on the pa o of their favourite restaurant, while their kitchen is upgrading” he said, also no ng that the thriving real estate market is another mo va ng factor for kitchen renova ons right now.

“People like to do something extra for their home that’s for sale, or the one they’ve newly-purchased.”

While a ‘new’ kitchen can seem like

an overwhelming and costly project, it doesn’t have to be the case, according to Li.

“The en re look can be changed with something as simple as new

countertops or kitchen cabinets –really, the sky is the limit, depending on your budget.

Quartz con nues to be one of the most sought a er materials when it comes to countertops, but it’s not always wallet-friendly. That’s why Cowry Kitchen recently updated their quartz countertop prices to make them more budget-friendly.

“We also have one or two quartz colours on special each month for customers who are doing renova ons,” noted Li.

Township of Langley Offi cially Age-Friendly

Imagine a place where se-nior citizens can live life to the fullest, be active and healthy, feel safe and

supported, and stay connect-ed with their community.

The Township of Langley is well on its way to becoming that place.

On June 10, the Province of British Columbia formally recognized the Township as an Age-friendly Community, a designation the Township fi rst sought in 2013 to show its commitment towards en-suring aging members of the community are able to thrive in the years to come.

As well, the Age-friendly Strategy developed by the Township to make that com-mitment a reality will be presented with an Award for Planning Excellence Merit from the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP) on June 29. The award honours planning projects based on their excel-lence, innovation, impact on the profession, implemen-tation potential, and overall presentation.

“A lot of hard work and sol-id planning has gone into

our Age-friendly Strategy, and we are very grateful to our Seniors Advisory Com-mittee and the Age-friend-ly Task Force for everything they contributed to develop this plan,” said Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese.

The Strategy was created to ensure that proper housing and transportation options, services, and programs are in place to help seniors expe-rience a great quality of life in the future, as people are living longer and doing more in their later years.

The Seniors Advisory Com-mittee set about holding workshops, gathering ideas, and suggesting policies and practices. The Age-friendly Strategy was developed with input from the members of the community, partner agencies, stakeholders, and the Township’s Youth Advi-sory Committee, which of-fered an intergenerational perspective.

The Strategy outlines clear, simple actions and easy to follow ideas that were praised by the Canadian In-stitute of Planners, which noted that other communi-

ties could use the Township’s ideas to start becoming age-friendly as well.

“Receiving offi cial designa-tion as an Age-friendly Com-munity from the Province is a great step forward and people of all ages will benefi t from the results,” said Froese.

The Age-friendly BC Recog-nition Program is a partner-ship between the BC Healthy Communities Society and the Ministry of Health. To

achieve recognition, com-munities must establish an age-friendly advisory or steering committee, pass a Council resolution, conduct an age-friendly assessment, and develop and publish an action plan.

The Township is currently working with its Seniors Ad-visory Committee to imple-ment the suggestions out-lined in the Strategy.

“We have a great plan,” Fro-

ese said. “Now we are putting it in place and building the Township as an age-friend-ly community where people can enjoy all stages of life and actively age with dignity, respect and independence.”

M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G ATi m e s R e p o r t e r

Remember the good ol’ days of drive-in movies, sock hops, duck tails and poodle skirts? Going for a cherry Coke in a cool car?

Langley’s Sandy Dunkley sure does, and she’s bringing back those ‘happy days’ for one memorable evening in September. And it’s all for a good cause.

Baby Boomers and wannabe Baby Boomers are invited to the first annual Ron Dunkley Memorial Society’s Happy Days Are Here Again event on Sunday, Sept. 27 at the Twilight Drive-In movie theatre.

Dunkley has rented out the drive-in and is hoping to fill the place with classic cars and people dressed up in their best 1960s outfits, ready to dance and laugh.

The night will begin with a sock hop and dance contest, while the young and young at heart jive, twist and stroll to the classic rock of Liquid Courage.

Prizes will be given to the best jive, best stroll and more.

Following the dance in the parking lot, two movies will be played: Back To the Beach, featuring Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello, followed by Rebel Without a Cause, featuring James Dean, Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo.

A ’60s style concession will be open to serve burgers, fries, sodas and popcorn, all included in the ticket price.

All proceeds will support the Ambulance Paramedics of B.C. with proceeds going to the Honour House,

a temporary home located in New Westminster for all emergency services and veterans and their families to use free of charge, while they travel to receive medical care.

“Ronny was a huge ’50s/’60s music fan. He had the whole Beach Boy collection of music,” said Dunkley about her son who died in a Seattle hospital in January 2011, two months after being hit by a train. He was 34.

Sandy has since created the Ron Dunkley Memorial Society, a charitable foundation raising funds for a number of causes, including the B.C. Professional Firefighters Burn Fund, Honour House, Muscular Dystrophy Foundation and Canadian Blood Services.

A blood drive has been held in Ron’s name each year since 2011 at his Langley City fire hall.

The motto: One life touches many.“Ronny would love this event. I just

feel like he’ll be there, too. It’s just an all around fun thing to be a part of,” she said. “Ron also loved Happy Days, and doo wop music.”

He was a big James Dean fan as well, so showing the movie Rebel Without a Cause is special for the Dunkleys.

Up to 400 cars-full can attend the event. Considering this ’60s-style event is taking place one weekend after the Langley Good Times Cruise-In, Dunkley is hoping owners of classic cars will bring their shiny rides to her event.

Cruise-In used to have a Friday night cruise to the drive-in.

Dunkley has a ’59 Ford Fairlane, which she will have at the event. There

will be a prize for best car, too.Tickets will be available beginning

Aug. 1. They will be $50 for a car and two people or $100 for car with four people. Single person at the gate is $25.

The ticket includes theatre admission, movies, sock hop, concession gift certificate, door prizes and prizes for best dances, best classic car and best ’50s - ’60s costume.

Tickets will be sold at the Langley Good Times Cruise-In, which is taking place the weekend before.

Tickets can also be purchased at ABC Freedom Arts, and at the Langley Times office.

For more information go to the Ron Dunkley Memorial Society website: rd-ms.com or contact Sandy Dunkley at 604-866-2873.

Fort Langley’s Shalom Reimer was crowned Miss Teen BC in her home town at this year’s Miss BC Pageant held at Chief Sepass Theatre July 3 to 5.

Aldergrove’s Becca Toews won the Heart and Soul award.

Heart and Soul is the first event of the pageant, where each contestant shares a bit about themselves. It is judged by the contestants themselves, who vote on the most inspiring or touching message. Toews was competing for the title of Mrs. BC.

The pageant was held July 3 to 5 at the Chief Sepass Theatre and can be seen on Shaw Television later this fall.

Toews posted a thank you to supporters online, saying “This weekend was

incredible and even though I didn’t go home with a crown I am so blessed to have received the Heart and Soul award which was voted by all the contestants.”

This pageant is different from others in that all previous rules that may have discriminated against women in pageants have been lifted.

There is not a maximum age limit to participate, nor are there height and weight requirements. Also, among the contestants are women who are single parents.

Winners in the pageant came from as far as Prince Rupert and Victoria to Summerland, Richmond,

Vancouver and Surrey.The charity for the Miss BC Pageant is

the Cops for Cancer Tour of the Canadian Cancer Society. Since 2007, the Miss BC Pageant has raised more than $225,000 for the cause.

On a recent scorching-hot Sunday, Langley teens Jaine Hillier, Jaden Vukelich and Jaime Alcos were keeping cool by washing cars outside the Vitality Dance Company studio on Fraser Highway.

It was a fundraiser to help pay for their trip to the World Tap Championships this December in Germany.

The three students have successfully auditioned for places on the 2015 Canadian national dance team.

Now they have the task of raising $3,600 each to cover the cost of travel, accommodation, entry fees and other event-related expenses at the championships in Riesa, Germany, considered the Olympics of dance.

Each dancer has to obtain their own sponsors because Team Canada Dance has been unable to fi nd corporate or

government assistance.The car wash raised around

$600, and more fundraisers are planned.

A barbecue has been tentatively set for later this month, with details to be

announced shortly.Anyone who would like to

assist three talented young dancers to represent Canada against the world can email [email protected] for more information.

IT’S FOR CHARITY.

New or soon-to-be caregivers of infants can quickly fi nd themselves in a debate between disposable and cloth diapers.

Whether it is the raw material use to make the diapers, water consumption and electricity use for the cleaning of cloth diapers, or the signifi cant landfi ll space and long decomposition time for disposable diapers, both types have a negative impact on our natural resources, despite eco-friendly solutions offered by diaper manufacturers.

So what if there was a way to go diaper-free? At only a month old, baby Connor has rarely soiled his diaper since his mother, schoolteacher Kelly Ireland, started practicing Elimination Communication (EC) with him.

EC uses both infant cues and timing to prompt Kelly to offer her baby opportunities to eliminate in an appropriate place.

According to Christine Gross-Loh, author of Diaper-Free Baby, the practice of responding to infants’ elimination needs existed historically and still is practiced today in other cultures.

Where EC is common-place, many people think it strange how much we rely on diapers. Contrary to popular Western thought, infants are not adapted to unknowingly soiling themselves. Rather, they can provide cues that they need to eliminate.

A baby uses about 6,000 diapers by the time he/she is toilet trained, according to Laurie Boucke, author of Infant Potty Training: A Gentle and Primeval Method Adapted to Modern Living.

But, with EC, Boucke says that by “lessening or eliminating the use of diapers, you can conserve natural resources, decrease pollution and reduce your carbon footprint.”

EC also creates a more hygienic circumstance

around the handling of infant waste, even when on-the-go.

Denise McFarland, a maternity nurse who also practices EC with her son Samuel, recently took a road-trip to Southern California and pottied him along the way using a portable container. According to Denise, practicing EC on the 15-day road trip took some creativity and planning but was really no problem.

Geraldine Jordan practiced EC with her third child and says that “some

people who use EC have their babies go completely diaper-free, others use diapers as a back-up. We have had a tremendous savings on diapers for our child.”

Their experience with EC in contributing to a greener world has motivated Jordan, McFarland and Ireland to become research collaborators under the guidance of Dr. Landa Terblanche from the Trinity Western University (TWU) School of Nursing.

This research group hosts local workshops for the public to promote the use of EC. The next one is on Saturday, July 18.

For information about learning EC and participating in the research study, visit the TWU EC Research Group Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TWUECResearchGroup or contact Dr. Geraldine Jordan, Environmental Health Lab Director at TWU, at 604-219-2785.

To register for the July 18 workshop, visit www.eventbrite.ca.

The workshop will be held at the Walnut Grove Community Centre (Room 1) from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

GARY AHUJA @LangleyTSports604.514.6754 • sports@langleyt imes.com

Langley’s Lucas Ly is representing Canada at a pair of events in the United States this month. The seven-year-old has been golfi ng for less than a year and already has fi ve wins —and a hole-in-one —on his resume.


Vollhoffer crowned national bodybuilding champ

Langley’s Gary Vollhoffer was crowned champion in the grandmaster (55+) division at the Canadian bodybuilding championships in Edmonton.


GARY AHUJATimes Sports

“It really is 14 grueling weeks of hard work for fi ve minutes, so you better be on.”

Those are the words of Gary Vollhof-fer and he surely enjoyed the results of those fi ve minutes.

On Saturday night, the 55-year-old Langley man was crowned champion at the 2015 Canadian Bodybuilding Federa-tion championships.

Vollhoffer took top spot in the men’s grandmasters (55+) division.

And his introduction to the sport of competitive bodybuilding happened by chance a few years ago.

Vollhoffer had always been active, playing junior football for the Langley Rams — they were in Surrey back then — three decades ago and even repre-senting Canada at the world ball hockey championships just four years ago. But the constant pounding of hockey was taking its toll on his knees.

“I actually entered an online contest to win a trip to Hawaii,” he explained about the body transformation contest.

“That’s how it started; I was fat and out of shape and looking at something on the internet and decided to give it a shot.”

This is Vollhoffer’s second year in the sport and back in May, he won both the grandmaster category (50+) and the masters (40+) open division at the B.C. Bodybuilding championships.

For the Canadian championships, Voll-

hoffer dropped from his usual weight of 215 pounds and was down to 185 when he hit the stage. His target had been 198.

“You have to keep losing the weight until you look shredded,” he explained.

To get ready for a competition, Vollhof-fer would wake daily at 4:10 a.m.

His day would con-sist of 45 minutes of cardio and about two hours of weights be-fore work, and then come more cardio in the afternoon. He was also eating six meals a day or preparing his meals for the next day.

“The nutritional as-pects of it are quite stringent, but if you want to compete, you have to do what is necessary,” Vollhoffer said.

“Basically, everything you put in your mouth has to be weighed.”

“You need to know when your weight is going up or down and why so you can adjust it. It is a very precise science,” he added.

Working towards a bodybuilding show can be quite challenging.

“It is defi nitely a lifestyle,” he said.“When you go to social gatherings, you

just have to be able to say no to every-thing and stick to your guns.”

The actual competition consists of about fi ve minutes of standing on stage,

doing a variety of poses.“I just enjoy the sense of accomplish-

ment, being able to discipline yourself to do it,” Vollhoffer said.

“It is fulfi lling to know that when you get on stage — win or lose — everybody who is up there had gone on the same path as you have been that dedicated.”

He also credited his coach of the last eight months, Tamara Knight.

“I wouldn’t want to do this alone,” Voll-hoffer said.

Knight will evaluate his diet and his body every week to help

him make the necessary tweaks to get maximum results.

Long-term, Vollhoffer is hoping to compete at the world championships, hopefully in 2016.

As for short term, he is sort of taking the summer off.

“I think my wife deserves some wife-time,” he said about spending some time checking out vineyards and enjoying some holiday time with his partner Lin-da. The pair celebrated their 28th wed-ding anniversary on Monday (July 13).

“I will still eat healthy , but I won’t measure my food.”

He will also cut back on his cardio for the summer.

Golfer set to tee off

for Canada GARY AHUJATimes Sports

Less than a year into his new sport and Lucas Ly is already going places.

The seven-year-old Langley boy — who already has fi ve fi rst place trophies, two second place fi n-ishes, a bronze and a hole-in-one on his resume— is representing Canada at a pair of prestigious interna-tional golf events this month.

He warmed up for the events by winning a tourna-ment on Monday at Greenacres Golf Course in Rich-mond, fi nishing his round at even par.

Ly, who plays in the Optimist Junior Linkster Tour, the CJGA Junior Linkster Tour and the Maple Leaf Ju-nior Tour, leaves on Friday for the Veritas World Ju-nior event in California. The event runs July 21 to 23 and Ly will then head to North Carolina for the U.S. Kids World Junior championship, which goes July 30 to Aug. 1 at Pinehurst Golf Course in North Carolina.

But despite playing in a pair of high profi le tourna-ments, Ly said he doesn’t really get nervous.

“I am just excited to play for Canada,” he said.The soon-to-be Grade 2 student at Gordon Green-

wood Elementary says his putting is the best part of his game and he enjoys golf as it gives him a chance to be outside.

As for favourite golfer, Ly lists Rory McIlroy, a 26-year-old from Northern Ireland who has won four major golf championships and 18 events over-all in his career. McIlroy is also currently ranked No. 1 in the world.

“Because he wins a lot of tournaments,” Ly said.

It really is 14 gruelling weeks

of hard work for fi ve minutes.

LEC bids on world lacrosse finals

The world championships could be coming to Langley.

The Langley Events Centre is bid-ding on hosting the 2019 Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) world indoor lacrosse championships.

After a nation-wide call for bids, the LEC won the right to be Canada’s host selection.

“We are pleased to support the bid to host the WILC in Canada, espe-cially in a hotbed of box lacrosse like Langley,” said Joey Harris, president of the Canadian Lacrosse Associa-tion.

“We have every confi dence in Langley and the LEC in their ability to put on a world-class event.”

Canada last hosted the event in 2007.

“This event will feature the best lacrosse playing nations in a true showcase of the sport and will be a unique event to showcase in our community,” said Jared Harman, the director of business development for the LEC.

The world championships are hosted every four years with this year’s tournament set for Sept. 18 to 26 in Syracuse, NY.

Canada is the defending champi-on and 13 countries are taking part.

A decision is scheduled to be made by the FIL’s selection committee in the fall.
