Outrage over lack of charges in crash

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

The family of Andrew Leduc has spent almost an entire year waiting for justice, after the father of three was run over and killed by a semi bobtail truck driven by a Surrey RCMP consultant last August.

But justice did not come for An-drew, said family members, after hearing police will not recommend charges.

“I called up the lead investigator to get an update since we are near-ing the anniversary of Andrew’s death (Aug. 7, 2013),” said Andrew’s older brother Adam last week.

“He tells me there is no supporting ev-idence to lay charges. It just hit me in the gut. I actual-ly hung up on him because I couldn’t believe it.

“My brother is dead in the ground and this guy can take a vacation and relax,” said Adam.

Family members and friends have expressed their disappointment to The Times in the forms of letters and emails, since learning the outcome of the investigation.

Surrey RCMP Major Crimes said after a “comprehensive and thor-ough eight-month investigation, Surrey RCMP tentatively found that no criminality existed on the part of the driver involved in this collision.”

Police said the RCMP consultant driving the semi didn’t know he had hit and killed anyone until lat-er, when he saw some troubling evi-dence on the truck.

Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr said the consultant’s cellphone battery had died so he went home and within a few hours after the crash, he called police.

“He didn’t alter evidence, he was

co-operative. There was no criminal intent,” said Carr.

The BC Offi ce of the Police Com-plaints Commission has reviewed the case and tentatively agrees with Surrey RCMP’s fi ndings.

On Aug. 7, 2013, at 3 a.m., the con-sultant, after working with Surrey police recreating a crash which killed a Surrey RCMP offi cer, was travelling eastbound in the curb lane in the 19500 block of Langley Bypass when he struck and killed Leduc. He kept driving.

Leduc was thrown more than 100 feet into the opposite lanes and pro-nounced dead at the scene.

Prior to the RCMP consul-tant hitting Leduc, police confi rm that other vehi-cles managed to swerve and avoid hitting Leduc who was

walking in the curb travel lane of traffi c.

“The driver knew he hit some-thing but fi gured it was a minor thing, like debris, on the road,” said Carr. It wasn’t until he parked the semi in a yard in Mission that he saw what had happened.

For Adam, that doesn’t sit well.“If this guy is a former traffi c safe-

ty guy, and he knew he hit some-thing, shouldn’t he stop and look?”

In the morning hours after Leduc was killed, police put out a descrip-tion of the older model blue semi cab to the media and by mid-after-noon, Surrey RCMP had located and seized the semi.

The driver was located and was questioned by Surrey RCMP that same day.

Surrey RCMP asked the Indepen-dent Investigation Offi ce to step in but the IIO turned it down because Marshal Stevens, 3, was thoroughly enjoying his smokie Sunday morning at the Camaro Show and Shine at the

George Preston Recreation Centre. The Langley resident arrived in dad’s just-completed customized truck with his older brother.

Former nightclub falls

Langley City crime severitytops in Metro, says Stats Can

Onlookers watch as a demolition crew takes down the former China Beach nightclub, located at 203 Street and Industrial Avenue, on Mon-day. The nightclub, which operated under many different names over the years, has been closed for several years. Plans for a luxury condo-minium complex on the property are presently on hold.


DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

Langley City has the worst crime severity ranking of any Lower Mainland community.

That is according to the police-reported 2013 Crime Severity Index (CSI) released by Statistics Canada on Wednesday, July 23.

Based on the rankings for all Canadian communities with populations of 10,000 or more, as provided by the federal statistics agency, Langley City had the highest crime severity index in Metro Vancouver last year.

The city was the third highest in B.C. and the eighth highest in all of Canada with an index number of 168.51, higher than the B.C. average of 89.18 and more than double the Canadian average of 68.72.

Within Metro Vancouver, Langley City was followed by number two-ranked Surrey at 114.32, number three-ranked New Westmin-ster at 105.97 and number four, Vancouver, at 105.18.

The Township of Langley, with a crime se-verity index of 87.6, was number fi ve in Met-ro.

The Township ranked number 28 in B.C. and was 63rd in Canada.

The crime severity rate in the city was down from the previous year, dropping 13.38 per cent in 2013. That came after an increase of 8.28 per cent in 2012.

The Township crime severity rate dropped 15.09 per cent, after an increase of 5.58 per cent in 2012.

The average CSI for B.C. dropped 6.15 per cent, while the Canadian rate fell 8.9 per cent.

The Canadian city with the highest crime severity index was North Battleford, Sas-katchewan at 323.88, while Williams Lake had the highest number in B.C. at 216.43.

To calculate the severity index, Statistics Canada analysts give each type of crime a weight based on the average sentence hand-ed down by criminal courts for the offence.

The more serious the sentence, the higher the weight.

The data comes from the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey, a census of all crime known to, and substantiated by, police services.

See page 5 for top 10 CSI lists for Canadian cit-ies over 10,000 population.


If those beer-soaked walls could talk.A piece of Langley City history is com-

ing down this week, taking with it sto-ries of bar brawls, knife fi ghts and even shots fi red at BC Lions players at China Beach Night Club.

The popular nightclub, at the corner of Industrial Avenue and 203 Street, had stood the test of time for more than 25 years until closing its doors for good in 2012.

The building is being demolished upon request of the City of Langley, after it was broken into one too many times by metal thieves and criminals.

“The building was creating some is-sues for us. We had people trespassing and metals being stolen from it,” said Langley City CAO Francis Cheung. “We’ve

been asking the owner for some time to have it demolished so we are glad to see this day come.”

But the nightclub is not being demol-ished to make way for Langley City’s fi rst highrise, as many hoped would happen after a Calgary developer bought the land and proposed to build a luxury highrise there. Construction of Charles-ton Place — a 15-storey mixed commer-cial and condominium development — was supposed to get underway in 2013.

“There is a new owner and we have not heard anything about development on that site,” said Cheung. “We are hop-ing the owner will come back to the City to let us know if he is going ahead with the original plan or has something else in mind.”

A check of the Charleston Place web-site reads: “Charleston Place is on hold.”

The site was updated in 2014 by P2000 Developments.

The demolition crew taking down the former China Beach nightclub discov-ered a locked safe on Monday. They used the backhoe to open it and discovered only a few videotapes, apparently re-cordings of pay-per-view fi ghts.

When China Beach closed down in 2012, they held a garage sale, selling many things from the bar.

But the two-storey nightclub stood empty for more than two years, becom-ing a target for street level crime.

The nightclub, which carried the names Rock Sugar and Liquid before returning to its former glory as China Beach, was never popular with police who often complained that the club took up their resources, deal-ing with fi ghts there.

the driver in question was a consultant, not a member.

The investigation took almost one full year to complete.

Adam said the police even re-created the scene, using a police offi cer dressed in the same clothing and at that time of night.

“They concluded from that the driver wouldn’t have seen my brother.”

Leduc was likely intoxicated at the time he was walking along the Bypass, said his brother. But besides knowing a few things from asking friends about that night, the Leduc family have more questions than answers.

The Surrey RCMP said they plan to sit down with the Leducs to go over their fi ndings.

His family has tried to piece together how he ended up at the busy thoroughfare at such a late hour.

“I had just rented him a stor-age unit at Maple Leafs Storage (on Langley Bypass) so he could store his stuff somewhere after moving out from his girlfriend’s house.

“For that night, we heard he was at a house in White Rock and someone arrived there that he didn’t want to see, so he left,” said Adam.

“We think maybe he was go-ing to his storage locker to sleep that night. The storage was a few feet away from where he was hit,” said Adam.

There were witnesses, said Adam.

“How do you spit a body out that far and not see anything, or see the chaos in your rearview mirror. A semi driver’s sight lines are much better than a ve-hicle’s,” said Adam.

“This whole thing stinks,” said Adam.

Andrew weighed 220 pounds, he points out.

“You aren’t going to feel that?” he questions.

When the crash happened both police and the B.C. Coro-ner’s Offi ce refused to give out Andrew’s name to the media. It’s unusual for a victim’s name not to be released.

“We don’t know why they didn’t release Andrew’s name all this time. All the public knew was a 37-year-old man was killed. Meanwhile our family is turned upside down. Andrew

was loved by many. His mom, his twin sisters, his kids, his friends. He wasn’t perfect, we know, but what has happened here is wrong,” said Adam.

Carr recognizes the percep-tion of police investigating a civilian death involving police, and coming up with no charges, doesn’t show well.

“We even made sure we had investigators who had never worked with this consultant so they would be impartial and we had an agency that investigates police look at the entire case. Our fi ndings after a very thor-ough investigation is this isn’t a criminal matter,” said Carr.

Family and friends are plan-ning to get together at the lo-cation Andrew was killed to re-member him on Saturday, Aug. 9 at 2 p.m.

Andrew Leduc (centre), a father of three, was killed nearly one year ago when he was struck and killed as he walked along the Langley Bypass. RCMP have said that charges will not be laid.

A 30-year-old Lang-ley man was given a nine month conditional sentence for traffi ck-ing cocaine and heroin through a dial-a-dope operation in Langley in 2011.

Dimitri Collins was ordered to wear an electronic tracking de-vice for the six months of his sentence by Su-preme Court Justice Sel-

wyn Romilly in March.The sentencing report

is telling on how busy dial-a-dope operations are.

In January 2011, po-lice observed Collins make a number of drug deals all over Langley while driving a Honda Accord.

He was in the park-ing lot of Lee’s Chick-en, then in the Safeway parking lot.

Police documented at

4:39 p.m., he had a deal at Colossus parking lot. Then at 4:55 p.m., he was at an apartment at 201A and 56 Ave. At 4:59 p.m., he did another deal on 56 Avenue.

He then went into an apartment unit in that area and came out two minutes later and was arrested.

Police found 15.5 grams of cocaine and one gram of heroin for a total value of $1,700 in

his vehicle. He also had a knife,

three cellphones, a crowbar and baton.

Collins has no crimi-nal history.

In sentencing, it was learned that he had a diffi cult upbringing and fell into hard drug use by 19.

He is now going to Narcotics Anonymous and has employment, the sentencing report said.

From Page 3China Beach Night Club has

history.“I still want to drive the bull-

dozer to knock down (China Beach),” former mayor Peter Fassbender quipped when the architect Steven Ho came to Langley City council in 2012.

In 2000, after winning the

Grey Cup in Calgary, a few BC Lions came to celebrate at Chi-na Beach Nightclub. A patron in the bar was harassing the ath-letes and they left in their limo, said police at the time. The man followed them and shot at them. Luckily, no one was hit.

There have been some bar brawls with more than 50 peo-

ple involved, which were cha-otic for police to handle. There have been knife fi ghts and peo-ple run down by vehicles in the parking lot.

On the positive side, several bands and singers who have played there have said it always had a good and appreciative crowd.

Nightclub had a storied history

An undercover Langley RCMP offi cer was a victim of crime her-self in an incident in Langley City several years ago. She was attacked by a man wih pepper spray.

Shots fired in South LangleyMONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

Shots were fi red in South Langley on Monday, July 14, but it doesn’t appear anyone was hit, said Langley RCMP.

Residents in the 21000 block of 2 Avenue, just north of the U.S.-Canada border, called po-lice around midnight after shots rang out in their neigh-

bourhood. Langley RCMP attended and

found shell casings in the area, but no suspects or victims were located, confi rmed Lang-ley RCMP spokesperson Const. Craig van Herk.

Police did fi nd a vehicle parked in the driveway of a home with a fl at tire that may have been shot out by a bullet,

but that hasn’t been confi rmed, said van Herk.

There are no people living in that area who are known to police, so it’s unclear what or who may have been the target of the shooting, said van Herk.

Anyone with information for police is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com YES 42.5% NO 57.5%

Are you taking a driving vacation, long or short distance, this summer?

Do you think fi nes discourage people from leaving dogs in vehicles on hot days??of the week

Questionwe asked you:Last Week

As we approach the middle of the summer driving season, it’s important to think about a number of issues.

One is paying close attention to what is go-ing on around you or, as it used to be called,

driving defensively.In a day and age of widespread cellphone use, texting

and driving, vehicles equipped with audio and video en-tertainment systems and increasing traffi c congestion on what used to be much quieter streets, paying attention to all circumstances, within and outside your vehicle, is more important than ever.

A crash between an RCMP cruiser and a van at 268 Street and Fraser Highway last week could serve as an illustra-tion. The van, which contained a family of four, had Alber-ta plates and it is possible the driver was not fully familiar with the intersection. While the cruiser was heading to a call and had emergency equipment activated, it is possi-ble the driver simply did not see or hear the police vehicle.

Kal Tire has issued a press release noting an often-over-looked summer driving issue — regular checks of tires. In particular, the B.C.-based tire fi rm notes the importance of being fully aware of issues with RV and trailer tires, something that is often overlooked.

“Drivers need to be checking their tires regularly. Just a few simple maintenance steps, before you leave and during your trip, can really reduce your risk of having your holiday interrupted by tire failure,” says Carey Hull, direc-tor of retail products, Kal Tire.

Passenger vehicle tires are not meant for many trailers. While RVs can be equipped with light truck tires, most trailers require special trailer tires, built to have stiffer, heavy duty sidewalls to accommodate heavy loads and track straight to reduce bounce and sway problems.

Kal Tire emphasizes the importance of regularly check-ing tire pressure and also ensuring that RVs and trailers are not overloaded. This is equally true for all vehicles.

The coming B.C. Day long weekend is often the busiest of the year for vacation travel. Ensuring that your vehicle is safely equipped for travel, and paying close attention to other drivers, will make for a safer trip.

There is nothing like fresh picked corn with kernels so crisp, or the smell of vine-ripened tomatoes, harvested at their peak and pur-chased from a local farmers market. With over 125 farmers markets spread across British Co-

lumbia, chances are there is one near you.Items available at the market change with the growing

season. Buy your favourite foods each week but try some-thing new too. There are often free samples, so you can try before you buy. Try preparing your veggies in different ways such as on the grill, pureed in a soup or blended in a smoothie. The options are endless. Fresh herbs are also a great fi nd to add to your favourite recipe.

Markets are as different as the communities they serve. Some are festive events with artists, musicians and a huge variety of fresh produce and locally made products. Oth-ers might feature a few stalls with one farmer supplying most of the produce.

Besides providing an abundance of locally grown vegeta-bles and fruit to help keep you healthy, markets also con-tribute to the health of the community. They are a great place to socialize, enjoy the fresh air, listen to some music, and meet the farmer that grows your food. Local farms employ local people — when you buy from a producer in your area, you support the local economy.

This summer check out the markets in your area. Visit-ing a market makes a great outing for kids, seniors or out of town guests. Some communities even offer free public transportation to the market. Don’t forget to bring bags and a cooler for the trip home.

Are you wondering where to fi nd the closest market, what is in season or if your market offers the Nutrition Coupon Program? Perhaps you need a recipe? Check out the BC Association of Farmers Markets’ website at http://www.bcfarmersmarket.org/ before you head off to the market.

Visit to California is eye-opener on water

A week-long visit to California was a great experience, primarily because the main purpose of the trip was to attend my son’s wed-ding in San Francisco. The city is truly one of the most beautiful in the world and it is a wonderful lo-cale for a special event.

San Francisco brings in a lot of tourists. The city’s major attrac-tions were packed with people from all over the world, and there was no better place to hear a multi-plicity of languages than in one of the line-ups to board the cable cars. Many people gladly stood in line to board the famous cars for more than an hour, and the long wait seemed to be part of the fun.

San Francisco, with its cool and of-ten-foggy weather, is an anomaly in Cali-fornia. It gets rain regularly, albeit not too much at this time of year, and tempera-tures are moderate.

Travelling to other parts of the state re-veal a different set of circumstances. It is hot and extremely dry. Many areas have received almost no rain for the past three years.

The central San Joaquin valley, where a wide variety of agricultural crops for export all over North America are grown, is coping with terrible drought and many farmers have had to cut back on the acreage they have planted, simply because there is so little water available for irrigation.

Everywhere you go, there are reminders of the need for water conservation. Low-fl ow toilets, sinks with automatic shut-offs and many other innovations are wide-spread.

There is some talk of major fi nes for

breaking water conservation rules, although I am uncertain if much of that has come to pass.

I heard one story about a busi-ness that will paint people’s lawns green, so they can at least have the illusion of green grass. It’s a bit puzzling why that is so import-ant, yet I realize we live in an area where grass never stays brown for long. We can count on rain.

California is the most-populated state in the U.S., with a population

which is larger than Canada’s. Its gross domestic product makes it the eighth- or ninth-largest economy in the world. It is the state that millions of people are anx-ious to move to. The number one destina-tion for refugees fl eeing into the United States from Central America is California.

The overall sense I got during our short visit there is that, without water, that type of growth is simply unsustainable. There is clearly a major water crisis in most of the state. Many people understand that and have reduced their use of water. State and local governments also get it, and are bring-ing in regulations and doing things differ-ently, attempting to address the issue.

But even if the rains come back on a more regular basis, much of the state will remain dry. It has a hot climate. and much of the area where crops are grown, and where people live by the millions, is desert.

It is a good reminder why water conser-vation is important — just as important as using fossil fuels as sparingly as possible.

It also foreshadows the distinct possibil-ity of extensive pressure on B.C. and other areas of the west coast for widespread wa-ter exports in the future.

Delay decriedEditor: In the July 20 Province newspa-

per, an article describes a nine-month-old baby having to wait four and a half hours to see a doctor at Langley Memo-rial Hospital the previous week. This is very upsetting and concerning.

We have a major problem here in Langley that needs to get fi xed.

The inadequate primary health care services to support the growing popu-lation in this community just cannot continue as is. We either need to stop i n c r e a s i n g population in our communi-ty, or increase health and education ser-vices.

In my opin-ion, this is an e m e r g e n c y situation. It affects quality of life in our community.

The time-worn excuse of getting the population and then we get the services does not cut it any-more. We have the population but we can’t get the services from the provincial govern-ment and their agencies, including health authorities, school boards and TransLink. Why not?

Residential growth and the construc-tion industry are economic engines that the provincial government wants our community to foster and support to help keep the provincial economy moving.

But you just can’t bring thousands of new people to communities each year and dump them there without adequate basic human care and services — espe-cially in health care and education.

Premier Christy Clark and Langley ministers Rich Coleman, Mary Polak and Peter Fassbender — how does what is happening in Langley support your “Families First” agenda?

You are letting our families down in key community infrastructure areas — health care, education and transit. When are you going to fi x this for us? This is just not acceptable or tolerable any more.

A nine-month-old child should never have to wait four and a half hours to see a doctor, especially with a severed fi nger in a baggie. This is simply inexcusable.

Speaking up for hit and run victimJUSTICE SYSTEM HAS LET DOWN ANDREW LEDUC’S FAMILY

Decorative trees, curbs are costly

We don’t need oil or transportation

Editor: Where’s the justice?I am writing on behalf of a friend who

can no longer speak for himself.Andrew Leduc was run down and killed

on the Langley Bypass Aug. 7, 2013 by a hit-and-run driver.

I recently found out this driver is not, and never will be, charged under the law for any infractions.

Where is the justice for this young man, Andrew? He was the father of three

young children and had a wonderful and caring family.

These children will grow up knowing the person who ran their father down never faced any consequences for his ac-tions.

I fail to understand how this can hap-pen. The person responsible walks free and alive. How is it possible?

This person hit Andrew, left him for dead and walks free. I hope he can live

with himself and sleeps well at night. Three children, one who was only

months old, will grow up never knowing their father. No justice was done in his name.

It is such a shame that a life is worth so little to those who control our legal sys-tem. All I can say is, Andrew, rest in peace my friend.

MARILYN THOMSON,LANGLEY

Editor: I’m wondering, with the elec-tions around the corner, if Langley Town-ship council members have been out walking, as I have been, and I am wonder-ing about the waste of tax dollars.

I cannot fi gure out why, on the coast, where trees grow at such a rapid rate, the Township persists in planting trees be-side the walkways and curbs, in about a foot and a half of soil, and doesn’t expect to run into trouble.

Council members and candidates should just go for a walk from 88 Avenue to 93 Avenue on 208 Street, and see what those trees have done to the sidewalk.

It is like walking on a roller-coaster. The sidewalk is up and down from the tree roots. It is a waste of taxpayers’ dollars.

Now the trees have to be cut down and new sidewalks put in.

And why do they have to plant shrubs and trees in the middle of the road, to be

pruned and weeded and watered? It is another waste of dollars.

If anyone drove up on 96 Avenue, around the Johnston Heights area in Surrey, they would see cement curbs in the middle of the road with brick colored cement in the middle of the road. It looks so nice and neat and needs no maintenance.

What is the matter with putting in wid-er sidewalks to the curb, and planting trees on the lots on the inside?

Just get the developer to plant trees when they are building. That will save the taxpayers money, and the trees will look just as nice on the inside as they do on the outside. The roots will have room to grow without lifting up the sidewalks.

And why did they put cement dividers in the middle of the road on 203 Street, which is an industrial area?

Now they are chopping them up be-

cause the semis can’t turn there. Why not leave the middle as a turning lane?

Is it all about looks — because it is not working. They turned 98 Avenue into a one-way street at 203 Street, planted four-foot high pampas grass so no one can see anything, and have cars going down an alley that is a single car wide, in order to get back onto 98 Avenue.

Council was petitioned and the area was inspected. We were told that the road would be fi xed in 2013.

It is now halfway through 2014 and nothing has been done.

OK, councillors, it’s time to address these issues and quit beating around the bush. You keep this up and it will cost the municipality a lot of money to keep fi xing mistakes.

DONNA THURSTON,LANGLEY

Editor: Let’s stop all the oil companies from digging up the tar sands for oil, and drilling wells and pumping it out of the ground.

We sure don’t need all the stuff that is made from that dirty oil.

Who needs cars, planes and ships that run on that dirty oil? We don’t need all the things that ships and trucks and trains bring us to use and eat.

We can walk to wherever we need to go. We need the exercise anyway.

We do not need all those high-paying jobs that oil and coal and other polluting minerals produce.

We will not need mechanics or opera-tors, electricians or construction jobs or any other jobs that depend on dirty oil.

We should eat food that is grown within walking distance anyway.

We sure don’t need all those life-sav-ing machines that keep so many people from dying. There are too many people on Earth, anyway.

Just think how nice it would be if the world did not have any oil at all.

Hey, the natives who lived in Canada had a good life for many years before oil was used. We can all go back to being hunters and gatherers again, like our ancestors.

Those people in Kitimat who don’t want any oil or gas coming to their town, they can work at McDonald’s and such employers for minimum wages. Give the high-paying jobs to the new people who will come to town to work in the industry.

When the townspeople whine and com-plain, we will turn a deaf ear to them.

I wonder if those people who are so against ships travelling along our coast, actually work on the coast? Do they make their living on the coast or do they just sit around coffee shops and have nothing better to do but talk and socialize?

Years ago, we used to say “work gets in the way of some people’s social life. That’s why they won’t work.”

There is always some risk in progress for a nation. What would the unemploy-ment rate be in Canada if it were not for the mining and oil industries? We would be in a depression in Canada.

Do you want to go back to the Dirty 30s? Most people have never lived through times like those.

DEAN JOHNSON,

LANGLEY

COUNCILLOR KIM RICHTER


When the audited public accounts con-fi rmed a $353 million surplus for the last fi scal year, BC Liberal political staff were quick to remind reporters of the NDP’s main theme from last year’s election cam-paign.

Pages of election quotes from almost ev-ery NDP MLA were waiting to be distrib-uted. It was a “bogus budget,” one of the more polite tags applied to the govern-ment’s pre-election fi scal plan.

“It underestimates the costs in a whole bunch of ministries and we’re going to have to review that because all of the deci-sions that we propose in our platform will have to be implemented,” said then-leader Adrian Dix, describing the NDP’s plans to tax and spend more.

Skeena MLA Robin Austin targeted health care in the budget debate: “Bearing in mind that our population is actually in-creasing, bearing in mind that our popu-lation is aging, I think it’s very unrealistic to think we can actually limit health care expenditures to 2.7 per cent.”

As it turned out, health care spending grew by just over two per cent. It still went up by $360 million from the previous year, but after annual increases of six or seven per cent had become the norm, this is quite an achievement. New agree-ments remain to be negotiated with doctors and nurses, so we’re un-likely to see the same cost control results for the current year.

Ottawa’s health care transfer pay-ment formula has changed, and in-creases are to be capped at three per cent a year by 2016, so this is the kind of spend-ing restraint all provinces are expected to produce.

Education was the only other ministry to receive signifi cant extra funding last year, up $299 million despite continuing enrol-ment decline. Like health, the education budget goes up every year, and these in-creases, along with strong student perfor-mance results, expose the rhetoric of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation about a cash-

starved system for what it is. But the biggest fabrication of

last year’s election was the “debt free B.C.” slogan emblazoned on the side of Premier Christy Clark’s campaign bus.

The public accounts confi rm that the province’s total debt rose to just over $60 billion, the latest of a series of increases since 2008. The much-touted balanced budget is on the operating side, while the province continues to pile up debt

to pay for the Port Mann mega-project, hospitals, schools and other big infrastruc-ture.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong empha-sized the difference between capital and operating expenditures.

“We’re borrowing to build as opposed to paying for the groceries,” he said.

“Debt free B.C.” was not an outright mis-representation, merely one of the most far-fetched promises ever delivered in the history of B.C. politics. The legislature is

to convene in October so the BC Liberals can pass a taxation framework for the na-scent liquefi ed natural gas industry, which the government hopes will generate the revenues to ultimately pay off the prov-ince’s $60 billion mortgage.

Meanwhile there is more capital debt ahead. The cabinet is expected to green-light the Site C dam on the Peace River this fall, a decade-long project estimated to cost $8 billion.

Along with the public accounts, the fi -nance ministry released a list of surplus land sales. The sale of 50-odd properties, some of them closed schools, netted the provincial treasury about $310 million, which accounts for most of the surplus.

Was this “selling off the family silver-ware to try and balance the books,” as now-NDP leader John Horgan termed it be-fore the election? It’s certainly not a reve-nue source to be matched next year.

B.C. back in black, and deeply in debt

JEFF NAGELBlack Press

TransLink says an error by an electrician working on the Ever-green Line triggered the Monday, July 21 fi ve-hour shutdown of the SkyTrain system.

Passengers will be of-fered a free day of tran-sit use on B.C. Day.

The technician was

installing a new cir-cuit breaker at a power distribution panel for the new SkyTrain line to Coquitlam when he accidentally tripped the main breaker feed-ing critical systems at SkyTrain’s operations centre, TransLink chief operating offi cer Doug Kelsey said.

“Two major disrup-

tions in one week is unprecedented, and the two incidents are completely unrelated,” Kelsey said.

The electrician has been suspended and TransLink continues to review what went wrong. Some area mayors are also press-ing for an independent review.

Asked how a free tran-sit day on Aug. 4 will help passengers who buy a monthly pass, Kelsey said the aim is to let regular riders bring family and friends on a holiday outing via tran-sit for free.

“We really apologize for what happened,” he said. “We want to share our customer appreci-

ation with more than just the riders because others were indirectly affected.”

The shutdown was the second in less than a week that led Sky-Train passengers to pry open train doors and walk away along the tracks.

The complete halt of trains on the Expo

and Millennium Lines started around 12:30 Monday and the shut-down lasted nearly fi ve hours until service was restarted on both lines. Canada Line service was unaffected.

It followed a July 17 rush hour service shutdown, caused by a computer malfunction. It also stranded thou-sands of passengers for hours.

Despite pleas from TransLink to stay in SkyTrain cars due to safety risks, numerous riders once again made their own exit, some-times stopping to take photos and share them on social media.

Transit Police spokes-person Anne Drennan said “dozens” of riders left trains and walked along guideways une-scorted in the second incident — many more than on the previous Thursday — while oth-ers were escorted out by attendants.

She said the pres-ence of passengers on guideways again caused the shutdown to last longer than if passengers had fol-lowed instructions,

stayed on board and enabled the trains to move sooner.

Drennan admitted there’s little that can be done to block illegal exits. She said issuing tickets would “add in-sult to injury.” The focus will be educating peo-ple about the danger.

“The electrical charge on the line can be there for quite some time after a shutdown such as this and peo-ple do risk being elec-trocuted if they touch the wrong part of the track,” she said.

“We completely un-derstand the high level of frustration and the fear and panic people are experiencing but we ask people to recognize the danger and be as patient as they can be.”

Prying doors open in several trains meant they wouldn’t close later and then atten-dants couldn’t man-ually drive them back to stations, Drennan added.

Offi cials estimate service would have been restored 90 min-utes to two hours sooner had doors not been forced.

Jimy Mac’s Pub opened its doors 24 years ago, introducing a one-of-a-kind pub experience to Langley.

Inside the spacious and inviting 336-seat establishment, located at 19935 96 Ave., one has many options of where to sit back, relax and enjoy a frosty pint and some fresh-cooked fare.

There’s the traditional pub area or stunning atrium with comfortable wicker chairs – a perfect spot for date night –and then there’s the pub’s quiet, cozy nook, which is ideal for fundraisers and birthday parties.

There’s also the restaurant area with three 80-inch TVs, which is without a doubt the perfect place to catch your favourite sporting event.

“Whether you are looking for more of a dining experience, pub atmosphere, a place to start your night or you’re here for the long haul, we offer something for everyone,” said Jimy Mac’s Manager Randy Nohr.

Planning a reunion, birthday party or team fundraiser? Jimy Mac’s Pub can accommodate both large and small groups.

“It’s really not uncommon to have a couple big parties in the pub and not even know

they’re happening,” added Nohr. “There’s plenty of room here at Jimy Macs!”

With the dog days of summer upon us, the spacious patio fi lls up quickly with pub-goers who want to enjoy a cold one out in the sunshine.

Occasionally, there’s even live music – a perk of being located in an industrial area where there’s less concern over noise, notes Nohr.

“People just love it, they can sit out on the patio and it usually stays warm out until pretty late,” said Nohr.

Your outdoor pub experience doesn’t just end when the sun sets on summer. There’s also a covered patio open 365-days-a-year.

Over the years, there has been a variety of patrons who have fl ocked to Jimy Mac’s Pub, including residents from care homes who roll in for a bite, notes Nohr.

“We’re totally wheelchair accessible, which is great for a lot of seniors who enjoy coming by for lunches or dinners. They really have a great time.”

In the hospitality industry, pubs often come and go, but Jimy Mac’s Pub is in it for the long haul.

“We’ve been around for over 24 years because of the consistency of what people are getting,” said Nohr.

“The pub has a great tradition, it’s has good service, it’s clean and safe, the food is always good and most of all, we have some great regulars that have been coming for years who have a certain pride in the pub.”

Like Nohr, his team takes great pride in maintaining the pub’s solid reputation.

“It is the only pub I have ever worked at that you can catch a regular cleaning around the sink during a busy lunch hour or telling a customer that they can’t go out any emergency door because it could affect our liquor license,” noted Nohr.

“ It really is something special and I am glad I am a part of it.”

When it comes to his favourite menu items, there’s a real variety to choose from, including their homemade burgers, tasty homemade Shepherd’s Pie and

last, but certainly not least, Jimy Mac’s Pubs’ signature soup can’t be beat.

“ It’s made fresh every day – it’s actually quite comical to watch our kitchen staff making it. Everyone has to try it to make sure it has the right taste.”

To wet your whistle, Jimy Mac’s Pub is offering Coors Light pints on special all of August.

For those who want to enjoy a few drinks and not have to drive, Jimy Mac’s Pub offers a Courtesy Shuttle Wednesday to Saturday between 4:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m.

This is a third in a series looking at the challenges of parenting in a busy and ever-changing, digital world


The next time you go to a restaurant or playground, glance around to see how many parents are looking at their phones rather than at their child.

We’ve all done it. Texting while nursing, talking on the phone while pushing the baby stroller, checking Face-book while a child plays on the playground. But is the glow of smartphones dimming our relationship with our children?

“We are so hooked on our phones,” said Cora Boecker, a member of Langley’s Early Child Development Com-mittee, a team of child development experts trying to bring awareness and provide advice to parents raising kids in a fast-paced, digital society.

She is also a supervisor for the infant development program at the Langley Child Development Centre.

“Something has changed in our brains, in that we can’t resist immediately looking at our phone when it pings with a message.”

But parents may be spending too much time looking at their phones instead of looking at their children.

“The human connection is so important in the devel-opment of a child but our addiction to our phones has changed how we interact, or more importantly how we don’t interact with our children,” she said.

By ignoring our children in preference for our phones are we sending a message to our children that the phone is more important, more interesting than they are? If so, how is this impacting their development?

Boecker points to child psychologists who suggest that the nervous system and brain develops more effec-tively when a child experiences emotional, face-to-face connections. While our addiction to smartphones is too new a trend to provide any tangible research fi ndings, awareness of the potential harm it can cause is key, said Boecker.

The committee is hoping to show parents what they are missing with their kids when they are busy paying attention to their phone.

“This isn’t meant to make parents feel bad or to lec-ture them but there is an important message here that interacting and engaging with your babies, your tod-dlers and your children helps their brain development. Humans’ need for attachment supersedes even that of hunger,” Boecker said.

“We need to fi nd a balance. There will always be a place for technology and our smartphones have so many benefi ts, but it is hard to respond to the smile of a child if you are looking at your phone instead of their face.”

Face-to face-connections is the primary way in which babies learn language.

It is also how they learn about their emotions and how to regulate them, by watching their parents’ facial expressions, emotional interactions and even watching and listening to conversations.

“Babies love to study their mom’s face and expressions and if the baby is lying in his carseat on the fl oor, with only your ankles to look at while you eat at a restaurant or you are on your phone looking down at the screen, away from your baby, they miss out on all that.”

Parents are missing those ‘mini moments’ with their toddler or child because their heads are down and eyes cast on their tablet or screen.

“A child could be saying to their parent ‘look at that butterfl y, mom.’ But mom is engrossed in texting and ignores the repeated requests.”

Parenting in the age of iPhones

As parents grow more ‘connected’ through smartphones and other digital devices, the effect seems to be a growing dis-connect between them and their children, says a local child development expert.

Summer is in full swing, but Langley Community Music School (LCMS) is turning its col-lective eye toward the autumn and the beginning of the 2014-15 concert season

Season subscriptions to both the Café Classico and Rose Gel-lert Hall series are now avail-able.

“We have a super exciting concert season in store for Langley audience members,” said Elizabeth Bergmann, ar-tistic director of concerts for LCMS.

“As always, LCMS is present-ing a huge variety of repertoire, spanning from Beethoven string quartets and violin sonatas to gypsy music and well known monumental pieces such as ‘Pictures at an Exhibition.’

“And, we are lucky to have international artists on tour in B.C. coming to our stage.”

The Rose Gellert Hall series opens on Oct. 17, with The Do-ver Quartet, fi rst prize winners of the 2013 Banff International String Quartet competition.

They are followed by the ex-traordinary violin and piano partnership of Kai Gleusteen and Catherine Ordonneau, a husband and wife duo who live in Barcelona. The duo is here on Jan. 31 to perform Beethoven vi-olin sonatas.

The Rose Gellert Hall series continues with the eclectic and blazingly brilliant Quartetto Ge-

lato on Feb. 28 . The fi nal concert of the se-

ries takes place on May 22 with LCMS’ own Bergmann Pi-ano Duo, kicking it up a notch with VSO percussionists Vern Griffi ths and Aaron MacDonald. Rose Gellert Hall series perfor-mances begin at 7:30 p.m.

“To end the season, Marcel and I will be joined by the two fantastic principal percussion-ists of the VSO to perform works for two pianos and percussion,” said Bergmann.

The Concerts Café Classi-co season begins with Duo Concertante on Oct. 5. Nancy Dahn and Timothy Steeves, a husband and wife team who are also professors at Memori-al University in St. John’s Nfl d. They will perform works for vi-olin and piano.

Dutch pianist Jeroen Van Veen takes the stage on Nov. 16, with a mesmerizing perfor-mance titled The Netherlands.

Next up is an LCMS Alumni Concert with Paul Hung, fl ute, Bogdan Dulu, piano on Jan. 18, 2015.

The series continues on March 8 with Trio Accord, one of Canada’s premier chamber ensembles. West Coast Cham-ber Players perform on April 19, presenting works by Cham-inade and Beethoven. Finally, the series closes with a Night Café Classico featuring Joe Trio, not your average piano trio, on

May 1.Concerts Café Classico per-

formances start with Coffee and Commentary at 2:30 p.m., followed by the concert at 3:30 p.m. Night Café on May 1 begins with Coffee and Commentary at 7 p.m., with the concert start-ing at 8 p.m.

Concerts Café Classico is LCMS’ educational series that includes a pre-concert chat and refreshments before each 60-minute concert program.

The Rose Gellert Hall series is LCMS’ premier evening concert series, featuring nationally and internationally acclaimed art-ists.

Season subscriptions are available at 15 per cent off regu-lar ticket prices.

Rose Gellert Hall subscrip-tions are $82 adults, $73 seniors, and $58 students. Regular tick-ets range from $22-$30 adults, $20-$25 seniors, and $16-$20 students.

Concerts Café Classico sub-scriptions are available for $77 adults, $67 seniors, and $51 stu-dents. A Concerts Café Classico fl ex pass is also available that gives access to any four con-certs for $54 adults and $47 se-niors. Regular tickets are avail-able for $15 adults, $13 seniors and $10 students.

Call the box offi ce for tickets at 604-534-2848.

Ten-year-old Jagjit Cheema and cous-in Avneet Gill, six, get a hands on in-troduction to a biology laboratory at Langley’s Kwantlen Polytechnic Uni-versity campus, as part of the univer-sity’s open house, held Saturday (May 10). Visitors were treated to a chem-istry magic show, interaction with wireless robots, cockroach racing and take home science activities.

In fact, often parents are feel-ing interrupted by the child and respond in anger and frustra-tion.

“That mini moment of expe-riencing that butterfl y fl utter-ing in front of your child was missed.

“It’s just a moment but it adds up. In the end, it is affecting the relationship between the child and parent.”

Pediatricians and child psy-chologists are saying distracted parenting is leading kids to act out in negative ways to get their parents’ attention.

“As parents connect to tech-nology, and as they allow their children to connect to technol-ogy, at an alarming rate and intensity, they disconnect from each other,” said Dr. Vanessa Lapointe, child psychologist and owner of The Wishing Star Lapointe Development Clinic.

“The essential tangible con-nectedness of the parent-child relationship is disrupted by the interference of technology. The result is a child who is less set-

tled and less able to regulate, and thus is more susceptible to behavioural challenges like anxiety, mood disruption and other mental health issues down the road.”

Lapointe believes parents who are less ‘present’ and available could see their children seeking connections with technology rather than with people.

American psychologist Cath-erine Steiner-Adair wrote a book about the phenomenon, called The Big Disconnect. She interviewed 1,000 children be-tween the ages of four and 18, asking them about their par-ents’ use of mobile devices.

Many responded with the words, ‘sad, angry, mad.’ Some took great joy in throwing the devices in the toilet.

One girl said she felt like she is boring to her dad ‘because he will take any text, any call, any-time — even on the ski lift.”

Boecker said the LCDC has seen a shift of the kind of refer-rals it gets over the past decade or so.

“A dozen years ago, most of our referrals were children with

physical and cognitive health issues.

“Now were are seeing way more children who have diffi -culty self-regulating, have be-haviour issues, anxiety and ag-gression.”

While there is no evidence of a direct correlation to our time with technology impacting their behaviour, there is a spike in children with emotional and behaviour issues.

But this discussion isn’t all doom and gloom, stresses Boecker and the Langley Early Child Development Committee.

“This is just about being more aware of our smartphone use around our children,” Boecker suggests.

When going to the playground with your child or restaurant, make a point of putting your phone away or fl ip it to airplane mode to remove your tempta-tion.

Be present with your child as much as you can, having face-to-face time.

Make meal time a phone-free zone.

“Eye to Eye not eye to iPhone.”

Fort Langley Artists Group’s third and fi nal show of the 2014 summer season, Sunfl ower & Poppies, opens on Saturday, Aug. 2 and continues to Monday, Sept. 1.

The FLAGstop Gallery, located at the corner of Glover Road and Mavis Avenue in Fort Langley is open from noon to 4 p.m. each Saturday, Sunday and holiday Monday throughout the summer.

The Langley Writers’ Guild is on the move. For the next several meetings — at least

throughout the month of September — the local writers’ group will meet at Michaud House, 5202 204 St. Meetings will be held at the usual time, from 10 a.m. to noon on the fi rst, second and fourth Thursday of the month.

The move comes as the City prepares to begin construction on its new Timms Community Cen-tre. Since a signifi cant portion of the design for the new building involves converting space cur-rently occupied by the City’s library, the writers guild will be unable to meet in the library as it has done for the past several years.

Top-seed Blaze sink Pirates’ season; off to championships

With the season on the line, Ryan Braun pitched a two-hitter as the Lang-ley Blaze advanced to the provincial championships.

The Blaze defeated the Nanaimo Pi-rates 11-1 on Sunday afternoon at Mc-Leod Park in game three of the teams’ quarter-fi nal playoff series.

On Saturday, Langley had won game one 7-1 while Nanaimo stayed alive with a 3-2 victory.

In the deciding game, Langley scored twice in the second and then fi ve more times in the third to break open the game. They tacked on four runs in the fi fth.

Mitchell Robinson hit a solo home run while Mason Verge had an RBI triple.

Kyle McComb chipped in with three hits and a pair of RBIs.

The Blaze took advantage of four Nanaimo errors to score seven un-earned runs.

The key was quality at-bats, said Langley coach Jamie Bodaly.

“Anytime you can get six or more pitches in an at-bat, it is good,” he said, adding that the team’s game plan was to extend the Pirates hurlers pitch counts.

In the opener, Kyle Ross allowed a sin-gle run in the complete game victory.

Dakota Curry led the way with a home run and two RBIs. Luke Horanski and

Liam Wyatt also drove in a pair of runs.The Blaze were up 2-0 and six outs

away from completing the sweep in game two before Nanaimo scored three times in the bottom of the sixth to es-cape with the 3-2 victory.

McComb and Andre Pelletier had the Langley RBIs while Jonathan Keltie took the loss with three earned runs surren-dered in fi ve innings.

With Sunday’s win, the Blaze — who won the BCPBL U18 regular season title for a third year in a row with a record of 35-12 — advance to this weekend’s provincial championships.

Big plays helped the Lang-ley Rams survive a second half which saw them unable to move the ball.

The Rams were held to a pair of fi rst downs over the fi nal 30 minutes, but thanks to big plays from their special teams and defence, as well as a half-time lead, Langley kicked off the 2014 B.C. Junior Football Con-ference season with a 44-36 win over the visiting Vancouver Is-land Raiders at McLeod Athletic Park on Saturday afternoon.

John Beckelberg scored on a 90-yard kick-off return and an 84-yard interception return to lead the Rams to victory.

The latter touchdown was one of two defensive scores for the team as Steven Martinez also took a fumble back 70 yards for the touchdown.

Offensively, quarterback Dylan Tucker was 13-for-20 with two touchdowns and one inter-ception for 223 yards.

Malcolm Williams and Tore Corrado were on the receiving ends of the touchdown passes. Corrado also fi nished with 122 yards on seven catches.

The Rams were up 30-14 at the half, but held to 76 yards of offence. A big problem for the team was penalties, as they committed a dozen infractions for 140 yards in the second half alone. For the game, the team was fl agged 21 times for 245 yards.

“At times we were executing, other times, we were shoot-ing ourselves in the foot,” said Rams coach Jeff Alamolhoda.

While the team struggled with penalties and were unable to move the ball much in the second half, the coach chalked both problems to the season’s learning curve, especially with no preseason games and a young squad.

“This was a game for them to get their feet wet, learn the tempo of junior football,” he ex-plained about the penalty prob-lems.

And as for the team’s vet-erans, Alamolhoda said some of the fl ags were a result of over-exuberance, especially facing a heated rival. The Raid-ers and Rams have played in the past three BCFC Cullen Cup championship games, with VI winning in 2011 and 2013.

With his team up in the sec-ond half, Alamolhoda thought his team might have lost some of their focus.

“I thought the players took their foot off the gas,” he said.

“With Canadian football, the game is never over until the clock reaches zero.

“You have to play a full 60 minutes.”

Regardless, the coach liked what he saw in the opener, es-pecially the play of Beckelberg.

“We knew he was an explosive athlete, we just didn’t know his tenacity in breaking tackles,” the coach said.

The bulk of the Raiders of-fence came from receiver Mar-shall Cook, who caught 14 pass-es for 208 yards. As a team, VI had 336 yards of offence.

The Langley defence did reg-ister four sacks, led by Brandon Klein’s 1.5, and came up with three turnovers.

In addition to Beckelberg and Martinez’s turnovers which went for scores, Corrado also had a fumble recovery.

The Rams are home this week as they host the Okanagan Sun (1-0) at McLeod Athletic Park on Aug. 2. Kick-off is 7 p.m.

While antioxidants in our foods work in various ways to enhance health and prolong life, a study out of Denmark is defi nitively stating that taking antioxidants supplements

don’t – in fact some, such as beta-carotene, vitamin A and vitamin E, are actually associated with an increased risk of death. The research supports obtaining your antioxidants via your diet, not supplements, to reap the benefi ts without the risks.

Many have heard that cinnamon may help in regulating insulin and blood sugar levels, but now there’s word that it may help in regulating cholesterol levels and offer benefi ts in managing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The study was small (only 50 people) but well-designed. Patients took two 750 mg cinnamon capsules daily and, while the results were not signifi cant enough to recommend this as a treatment, they did suggest that it might be a benefi cial adjunct.

More and more attention is being turned to assessing the potential of herbal and traditional remedies. A Chinese medicinal remedy called Tianqi has been evaluated for use in diabetes and the results suggest benefi t in

slowing the progression to Type 2 diabetes by reducing insulin resistance. The formulation contains 10 herbs and its effects were on par with medications such as metformin – with minimal side effects.

Caution should always be exercised when considering complimentary therapies such as herbals. Most are not well-studied and their side-effects/interactions are not known. Such is the case with green tea. A preliminary study in Japan found that the consumption of just two cups of green tea daily reduced the blood-pressure lowering effects of a common beta-blocker called nadolol. If your therapy is not achieving the expected results, look at other items you may be taking.

Our pharmacists are always available to help you assess your therapies – traditional or alternative. Although the information may be lacking on complementary treatments, they can help you consider the pros and the cons.

25m freestyle. Her relay team also came fi fth in the 4x25 freestyle.

In fi ve-pin bowling, Ashleigh King and Tyler Page won gold in their respective divisions, while Jennifer King won silver in another division.

Jas Nagra just missed the po-dium in his division, placing fourth.

The four bowlers also teamed up with Ridge Meadows’ Brent Langridge to win gold in the team bowling Division D com-petition.

In the athletics competition, Abigale Calvert won a trio of bronze medals in the long jump, 100m and 200m. She also placed sixth in the shot put and seventh in the 400m.

David Cairns won silver in the 100m and was seventh in the long jump and eighth in both the shot put and 200m.

Special Olympics athletes shine at Summer Games

More than 250 vol-unteers pitched in to ensure that everything ran smoothly for the record 1,200 cyclists registered to ride.

The event began with a blessing from Kwan-tlen First Nations and a countdown to the 7:00 am start time.

Founded three years ago by a group of cy-cling enthusiasts from Langley, the Prospera Valley GranFondo con-tinues to refi ne the three cycling routes, ranging from 50km to 160km, to make the event inviting for sea-soned riders as well as those who are new to the sport.

“This year’s Pros-pera Valley GranFondo was a huge success on so many levels,” said event director Marc Campbell.

“Over the past few days we have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of posi-tive feedback either by phone, email or social media and it gives us, the event team and board of directors, such great satisfaction to see all of the hard work pay off.

“We could not have accomplished any of this without the sup-port of the volunteers, sponsors and our local communities through-out the Fraser Valley...Thank you (and) we can’t wait to do it again in 2015.”

Record numbers for GranFondo

A record number of participants were lined up for the start of the third annual Prospera Valley GranFondo last week (July 20).

We probably all know the stories of divorc-ing couples at each other’s throats in court, fighting to the bitter end, sometimes even using their kids for leverage. That’s awful for the adults, worse for the children.

One aim of our novel family law is to avoid such ugly court fights where possible. B.C.’s Family Law Act (which came into effect on March 18, 2013) aims to steer couples toward solving their post-breakup issues – such as parenting arrangements, financial support obligations, divvying up of property and debts – in less destructive ways.

The new law encourages using “alterna-tive dispute resolution” (ADR) methods. You and your ex may never have to go to court – and save yourselves money and grief to boot.

One favoured ADR process is mediation. This involves engaging a certified media-tor to help you and your ex sort out your issues.

In a mediation, unlike court or arbitration (another ADR method), solutions aren’t imposed from on high – ultimately you and your ex must decide and agree on solutions for the mediation to succeed. So mediation is essentially a negotiation, with a seasoned professional there to assist. Decisions are reached only by agreement, and cannot be dictated by the mediator.

In contrast to the “take no prisoners” approach of a court battle, the less adver-sarial mediation process fosters better ongoing relationships during and after the break-up. That’s a big benefit. Particularly where you have kids, it’s important for you and your ex to stay on speaking terms. You’ll both be involved in your children’s lives (and so with each other) for many years to come, and it’s important for the kids’ well-being to see their parents being

civil to each other.

Another benefit of mediation is that, because you and your ex have “bought in” to the solutions you agree on, they tend to stick (rather than stick in your throats).

Surprisingly, mediations very often succeed even if you and your ex seem miles apart at the start. Of course, neither of you will get everything you want, but chances are it’s the best way for you to each get many of the things most important to you indi-vidually.

That’s because the mediator talks to each of you privately up front to try to flush out key points of concern and what’s most critical to each of you. This allows the mediator, using some tools, skill and experience, to encourage you both to share your thoughts and feelings, and with some give and take by both sides, help engineer an acceptable result.

If successful, you’ll come away with more custom-tailored solutions than a dictated result would achieve.

If you agree to mediate, you both settle on a mediator (or can get one appointed by an independent mediation service if you don’t know or can’t agree on one). The mediator, often a lawyer, is a professional with exten-sive training in mediation (required to be accredited as a mediator). You and your ex split the cost of the mediator.

There’s lots more to the new law, and to mediation. If you’re involved in a family break-up, mediation may be the right choice for you. Seek trusted professional guidance.

To sort out post-breakup issues, think mediation

Florence Grace, passed away peacefully Thursday, July 17th, 2014 at Mission Memorial Hospital, at the age of 95. She was happily married to her beloved Cecil Gerard McNicol on December 24, 1940, until his death on November 3, 2001.

Florence was born in The Pas, Manitoba to Robert Robison and

Mary Margaret Sinclair (b. McAuley; Johnston). She is survived by her sister Marion Cross Tremeer (Sinclair), half brother Robert Cecil Johnston and sister-in-law Catherine Vickery-Johnston.

She was predeceased by her daughter Annabelle Grace McKie (McNicol), brother Robert Robison Sinclair, step-brothers Arnold Ross Johnston, Thorbin (Thorby) Johnston, John Garfi eld Johnston, and Claude Gerald Johnston, and stepsisters Colleen Perry (Johnston) and Muriel Campbell.

Her father passed away when she was nine, creating a lot of hardship for the family. Her mother remarried and she was blessed with a large extended family that she cherished. In 1940, she married Cecil and followed him to B.C. when he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Army and was stationed in Chilliwack. She returned to northern Manitoba when he went overseas and several years later the family moved to Winnipeg. Both Cecil and Florence fell in love with B.C. and followed their daughter Anne to Vancouver when she fell ill. Initially settling in North Delta, Cecil and Florence relocated to Armstrong but returned to Chilliwack and then Langley before Cecil’s death. She remained in Langley for several years, until her declining health forced her to move to a retirement home in Mission, where she spent her last years.

Florence is survived by Annabelle’s family, grandchildren (Darrell (Gail) McKie and David Robert (Tannice) McKie, and great grandchildren Kayla & David McKie and Dawson & Camryn McKie; her daughter Vada McNicol, grandchildren Jamie (Jane) Penner, Christene (Darryl) Saam, Marnie (Wayne) McGhie, Shaun Penner and great grandchildren Amanda, Katie & Darryl Jr. Saam, Sarah Penner & Nicole (Brett) Schaefer, William & Emily McGhie; her sons, Frank (Ginette), Ted (Cheryl) and Rob (Nancy), and grandchildren Leigh McNicol (Ryan Dafoe), Mitchell McNicol, Kerri McNicol and great grandchildren Samara & Layton Dafoe.

We would like to especially thank Nancy McNicol (Balducci) who devoted the last 5 months advocating/caring for Florence during her deteriorating health.

Florence was always known for her caring and gentle nature - she will be greatly missed by all who knew her. No service by request. In lieu of fl owers, donations in her name can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, British Columbia & Yukon.

IN MEMORIAMJOHN VALENTI

MANKOWSKI IIIMarch 15, 1962 - July 28, 2003

Come to MeGod saw you were getting tired,

And a cure was not to be. So He Put His arms around youAnd whispered, “Come to Me”

With tearful eyes we watched youAnd saw you pass away.

Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,Hard working hands at rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

He only takes the best.

We love you JJMom, Dad,

Marcina & Eric
