It will be at least two more months before a public hearing into a proposed university district for Trinity Western Uni-versity’s (TWU) Langley campus wraps up.

Mayor Jack Froese reopened the hear-ing in Langley Township council cham-bers on Monday (Feb. 4) by saying the Township is still discussing the plan to build housing on farmland near the uni-versity with the provincial Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) which approved it.

The public hearing was adjourned on Dec. 21 until Jan. 21 so the Township could ask representatives of the ALC to participate.

Then, the January hearing was delayed until this month, because the ALC had yet to meet to consider the matter.

Froese said the Township has now received comments from the commission “but those comments require further clari-fication” and because of that, the hearing would be adjourned one more time. It will resume April 15 at 7 p.m. in the Township council chambers.

Opponents dominated the discussion

Monday night, with most of the criticism directed at the por-tion known as the Wall property, a separate application connected to the university district plan that is intended to increase student and staff housing.

The Wall property development calls for 67 compact residential lots on the 153-acre farm, located at High-way 10 and 72 Avenue.

Speakers against the Wall project included two TWU professors, Geraldine Jordan and David Jordan.

“I’m opposed to spot zoning,” said Ger-

aldine Jordan, who is an assistant profes-sor of geography at Trinity Western.

David Jordan, a sessional assistant pro-fessor of geography at TWU, said the Wall proposal was “gerrymandering the boundaries of the university” and would only serve to “antagonize relations” with Metro Vancouver.

Jordan said he had no opinion about the main university district proposal, which would build housing on 376 acres across Glover Road from the university.

Another critic of the Wall portion of the project was Earl Mufford, who said he is against putting houses in the centre of a farm.

“It’s just not right,” Mufford said.“It doesn’t make sense.”

Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

A woman facing trial on 37 criminal charges for alleg-edly stealing dogs from Lower Mainland back yards is cam-paigning for a law that would ban chaining and tethering of dogs.

Janet Olson identified her-self as a White Rock resident and member of Ban Resident Dogs when she came to Lang-ley Township council Monday afternoon (Feb. 4) with Chilli-wack resident Marlene Keefe to lobby for an anti-tethering law.

She did not mention her pending trial during her pre-sentation, a sometimes-emo-tional speech that included a slide show with disturbing images of confined dogs.

“As long as this is legal, how can we consider ourselves a humane people?” Olson said.

Keefe said a bylaw would reduce the number of dog attacks on people.

“Chained dogs are three times as likely to bite,” Keefe said.

Olson and Keefe said at least two other Lower Mainland municipalities, Burnaby and Delta, have such a bylaw.

They said a tethering ban could require fewer animal control officer hours and cre-ate a safer, more humane com-munity.

Following the presentation, council unanimously voted to have Township staff investigate an anti-tethering bylaw.

After the meeting, mayor Jack Froese said council was not made aware of the crimi-nal charges against Olson before she was granted permission to speak.

“Anyone can make a submission,” Froese said.

Olson also did not mention her pend-ing trial when she made the same presen-tation to Langley City council last month, which also ordered staff to investigate a no-tethering bylaw.

And she appeared before Surrey coun-cil on the same matter in April of last year.

Olson, a founder of A Better Life Dog Rescue, is scheduled to appear in Surrey

Provincial Court for a trial confirmation hearing on April 10.

Court records show the 59-year-old air-line pilot faces multiple charges of theft, break and enter, possession of a break-in instrument and fraud in connection with a series of alleged incidents from 2006 to 2011 in Langley, White Rock, Surrey, Vancouver, New Westminster, Richmond, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Coquitlam, Delta and Richmond.

Olson was first arrested in November of 2011 in connection with the theft of a bulldog from a Coquitlam backyard.

A Surrey woman who was arrested at

the same time, Louise Reid, later pleaded guilty to steal-ing two dogs, including the bulldog.

Reid was handed a condi-tional discharge, a year’s proba-tion and an order to pay $2,500 restitution to the owner of one of the dogs.

Surrey RCMP said the arrests were the result of tips about a number of animal thefts throughout the Lower Mainland where suspects were using ani-mal welfare uniforms in the heist.

The investigation revealed that several pets were adopted out for a fee of between $300 and $400 to unknowing adop-tees.

More charges were laid against Olson and five other women as the police investiga-tion continued.

Olson faces the highest num-ber of charges.

In November of last year, she was jailed for almost a week for allegedly breaching her bail conditions.

Olson was released from the Surrey Pretrial Services Centre after posting a $50,000 bail.

A judge imposed an 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew and forbid her from possessing a cellphone or any dogs other than the two she already owns.

She was also ordered not to visit any websites associated with dog adoption; not to have any contact with directors or volunteers of A Better Life Dog Rescue, except through her lawyer; and to return any mail to the rescue agency that comes to her address unopened and marked ‘return to sender.’

Speaking outside Surrey Provincial court in December of 2011, Olson said she had the moral authority to take the dogs.

“There’s humanitarian reasons to help animals,” Olson said.

“If you saw an animal on the side of the road with its throat slit ear to ear … are you not going to rescue that dog and take it to a vet? Did we have a right to take that dog? Yes, we had a moral right to take that dog.”

Tire shophit by fire

Man EscapEs FirE The occupant of a travel trailer is

lucky to be alive after fire broke out in the trailer early Thursday.

The trailer was parked at 9215 McBride in Fort Langley. Lang-ley Township fire department was called at 2:12 a.m. and crews from three firehalls (Halls 2, 4 and 8) responded very quickly, said assistant fire chief Pat Walker.

When they arrived on the scene, they found the trailer was fully involved. Fortunately for the occu-pant of the trailer, a neighbour had spotted the fire, banged on the trailer and woke him up.

The occupant attempted to extin-guish the fire with an extinguisher before fire crews arrived.

“At this time, it appears that the cause of the fire was an oil-filled space heater located in the trailer,” Walker said.

It’s important to be aware of the operating instructions and manu-facturers’ suggested clearances to combustibles, when using portable heating devices. He also said this fire points out the importance of having an operating smoke detector both at home and in recreational vehicles.

For the second night in a row, fire-fighters from three Township fire halls were called to an overnight fire.

Firefighters from Halls 4, 8 and 2 responded to a fire at a truck tire repair shop at 19926 96 Avenue. The unit is part of a complex that ser-vices large freight trucks.

The call came in at 1:34 a.m. Fri-day, and firefighters were on the scene until about 4 a.m.

The fire broke out in a mezzanine area above the tire shop’s office, and assistant fire chief Pat Walker said that made fighting the fire much easier. A large quantity of tires were located in the shop area but firefight-ers were able to keep the fire from spreading to the tires.

The firefighters were also able to keep the fire from spreading to adjoining units in the commercial building, but the fire did major dam-age to the affected unit. It went through the roof and the trusses may be damaged.

Langley Township fire department was on the scene Friday investigating the cause of the fire.

A hesitant, warbled voice greets Teddy.

The speaker sounds elderly, and somewhat confused and frightened.

She laments the fact a good friend has gone out in poor weather, and says she fears for his safety.

Teddy focuses on the call, reassuring the caller that she’s being listened to.

The caller suddenly veers course and begins to talk about other people she has lost in the past.

The conversation continues for several minutes.

Teddy, with a steady voice, offers empathy, encourage-ment, and a few minutes later, begins to brainstorm with the caller. What are her options for the day?

The tension eases.“Have a good day, okay?” the

caller tells Teddy before hang-ing up.

It’s a regular caller, says Teddy, leaning back in a work chair at the Fraser Health Crisis Line, which is based in Surrey.

She’s called about once a week for each of the 15 months that Teddy has volunteered.

“A lot of our regular callers like to call in to let us know about their day.”

That’s not a problem — it’s actually welcome, as the crisis line is there to help.

“Here, people don’t have to fight to make you understand what they’re going through,” Teddy explains.

Callers often find that try-

ing to express their feelings to others is tiring and frus-trating — even overwhelming. Together, the callers and call-takers come up with possible options or next steps.

Although there’s no typical type of incoming call, volun-teers have been trained to help in most crises — regardless of what the caller might think is a crisis.

It might be a chronic problem, such as a men-tal illness, or might be a spontaneous event, such as the loss of a pet or an unexpected medical diagnosis.

A sudden crisis might pro-voke a caller’s urge to relapse into a previous addiction.

Sometimes they call for a referral to another service in the area. Often, they are iso-lated and just want to talk.

“We’ve been told previously by other services that for some of those callers, the crisis line is the only other human voice they’ve heard all week,” says Fraser Health Crisis Line prac-tice leader Jackie Yurick.

“So in terms of their unbe-lievable isolation and alone-ness, the crisis line is very important.”

Yurick, who joined the for-mer Surrey Crisis Line as a volunteer in 1985, says the call-takers focus on empathy and reflective listening — com-

municating to the caller that they understand.

Volunteers are also trained in non-directive problem solv-ing — “a nice, fancy term for exploring all the different possibilities and ideally evalu-ating the pros and cons for

the options,” explains Yurick.

She adds that people often already know what they should be doing, but a crisis may have shut the ideas down.

“They can’t scream, they can’t run,

they’re immobilized.”They call the crisis line for

affirmation.Training for call-takers is

modeled on apprenticeship, and includes classroom teach-ing, 12 hours in the phone room as observers and multi-taskers, and at least 12 more hours of practice as call-takers with mentors at their side, before moving on to regular call-taking.

“We teach the volunteers to identify what it is they’re hear-ing — to understand how it is to be the caller,” Yurick says.

Not all situations can be resolved, Yurick admits, but the callers at least get the sense that they’ve been lis-tened to.

By the end of the conversa-tion there’s usually an action

or safety plan — especially with higher-risk callers.

In situations where a caller might not be able to agree about what they’ll do to stay safe, the conversation may turn to who the crisis line might send to help (such as police or the Surrey RCMP’s mental health “Car 67”), or referrals can be made to other services (such as counsellors or transi-tion houses).

Yurick says it may sound intimidating to potential vol-unteers that they will have to talk to suicidal callers, but “because those folks are reach-ing out, the calls aren’t nearly as difficult to manage as peo-ple would imagine.”

Yurick says the crisis line has a good working relationship with the Surrey RCMP. She also personally provides an hour of training in suicide call manage-ment to 911 dispatchers.

In 2010, Fraser Health Authority amalgamated the Share Crisis Line (Coquitlam), the Mission Crisis Line, and the former Surrey Crisis Line into one service under Fra-ser Health, located in Surrey and operated by Options Com-munity Services. It covers the entire health region, including Langley.

The centralized service has allowed more oversight of the staffing and volunteers and better quality assurance —although Yurick, empathic as ever, admits it was probably hard on volunteers and staff at the crisis lines that were shut down.

The most dedicated volun-teers come from as far away as Abbotsford. One volunteer has manned the phones on Satur-day nights for nine years.

Volunteer trainee Eliza-beth says the crisis line has improved her understanding of how to communicate with people — especially listening.

Michelle, a volunteer and mentor for a year and a half, says the skills she’s learned will help her future law career, particularly in the area of help-ing the disadvantaged.

Volunteers work four hours a week, or eight hours bi-weekly. They’re allowed lots of schedule flexibility, and are

organized by computer soft-ware called iCarol — which was developed by a crisis line volunteer in Ontario.

The crisis line currently has 129 volunteers and six staff. It takes 42 people at four hours a week to run one line of service, and there are five incoming crisis lines. More vol-unteers are always needed.

The goal is to always have a minimum of two people on the phones, and as many as four or five in the evenings.

Covering the entire Fraser Health region has meant more incoming calls — now about 36,000 per year.

The number of calls to the Surrey office has also increased since the service recently became part of the Crisis Line Association of B.C.’s 1-800-SUI-CIDE line and 310Mental Health Support Line (310-6789 — no area code needed). The province-wide network assures callers don’t get busy signals.

Imminent-risk suicide calls are rare.

“It’s not the norm, but we do get calls from people who are very close to acting on their suicidal feelings,” says Yurick. “It’s good that they’re phoning us rather than acting.”

Another call comes in to Teddy’s phone, and a blinking light indicates it’s from the pro-vincial suicide hotline.

As Teddy listens in, the caller talks about her neighbours, her declining health, and general

malaise.“I start to feel lost, scared,”

she says.Again, Teddy and the caller

discuss options that the caller has talked about: Food, friends, rest … I feel so much bet-ter trying to explain this,” the caller says at one point.

The caller says she wants to give back for the care she’s received from her friends, and there’s soon a brighter tone in her voice.

“Thank you so much for lis-tening,” the caller says before hanging up.

“We’re here to be supportive, we’re not here to be superhe-roes,” says Teddy.

“We’re here to help callers empower themselves, to be their own heroes.”

Area resident Nadine Reid had concerns about the impact of the entire university district plan.

“With the increased housing comes increased traffic,” Reid warned.

The project was defended by Sheldon Loeppky, TWU’s Associate Provost who said the university district was “key” to

the future of the institution.Responding to suggestions

by some speakers that TWU has plenty of room to grow on its existing site, Loeppky said the university already has plans to build on the available space, and needs more room if it’s to keep growing in Langley.

“[The district is] our best option for expansion over the next 50 years,” Loeppky said.

“Further options are limited.”

The Metro Vancouver regional authority has objected to the university district pro-posal, saying it doesn’t fit the regional body’s goal of con-centrating development in selected urban areas.

The Township’s position is that it is not yet subject to the new growth strategy because of a two-year transition period and can develop the lands without Metro approval.

One of the City of Langley’s founding fathers will be memorialized in a park that has a histori-cal connection to his family.

On Monday evening, Mayor Peter Fassbender announced that a tree will be planted in Douglas Park in memory of John Jeffery, who died on Jan. 19 at the age of 91.

Jeffery was instrumental in the formation of Langley City in 1955 and sat as an Alderman on its first council. When the Jeffery family moved to British Columbia from Saskatchewan, they purchased property on what was then Langley Prairie. A portion of that land bordered what is

now Douglas Park.“A tree is a symbol of life . . . a living reminder

of his presence in the community,” said Fass-bender.

He recalled “jousting” with Jeffery over various issues, saying that although the two men didn’t always agree, they both had the community’s best interest at heart.

Jeffery’s son Bryce — joined by his wife and daughter — attended the council meeting for the announcement and spoke on behalf of his father.

“I know he would be thrilled to have a tree in Douglas Park offered to him.

“It means a lot to the family,” said Bryce.No date has been set for the tree planting.

Revoking citizenship

Immigration Minister Jason Kenney is on to something when he suggests that the federal

government needs to look at whether it should revoke citizenship from convicted terrorists who have dual Canadian citizenship.

He was speaking about the case of a young man from Lebanon who is a suspect in a violent bus bombing in Bulgaria last year that killed five Israeli tourists. The attack was believed to have been carried out by Hezbollah.

The man was travelling on a Canadian passport and is a dual Canadian-Lebanese citizen. He has not lived in Canada since he was 12.

Kenney suggested that terrorists do not deserve to have Canadian citizenship if they are also citizens of another country and, presumably, don’t even live here.

His basic notion is correct. Terrorists do not abide by the rules of law in any country, even those that may shelter them, and are basically at war with anyone or anything they find offensive. The normal rules of law, and even rules of war, cannot be applied to them.

However, as some people said in response to Kenney’s comments, terrorism is also very loosely defined. Calling someone a terrorist or an act terrorism can be done far too easily.

In the case of dual citizens where there is a conviction of terrorism, or treason, or something else that strikes at Canada’s own nature, there is no good reason why they should be allowed to keep a Canadian passport.

There does need to be a proper appeal process so that passports are not removed arbitrarily.

Canadian citizenship is not a right, but is a privilege granted to some of those who have come from elsewhere and agree to abide by our laws and way of life.

Dual citizenship in itself does present some challenges. In 2006, the government flew back at great expense thousands of citizens from Lebanon, when violence between Hezbollah and Israel broke out. Many of these were dual citizens who had not lived in Canada for years. Why do they deserve taxpayers’ help, when they don’t even pay taxes here?

That is a separate problem, and one that is worthy of study. But revoking citizenship from dual citizens convicted of terrorist acts is something that can and should move ahead more quickly.

With a proper avenue for appeal, there is no reason it shouldn’t go ahead.

Locked doors a

no-brainer

It would appear that more than a few Nanaimo residents subscribe to the theory that thieves are going

to break into their motor vehicles no matter what. They seem to think ‘Why not leave it unlocked and avoid a broken window or damaged lock and an increase in insurance premiums?’

But the fact is thieves intent on getting into a vehicle are more likely to smash first rather than try the door handle, so an unlocked car is no guarantee they will be respectful to property while committing a crime.

Nanaimo has seen a rise in thefts from vehicles in the last eight weeks, with 375 incidents from Oct. 1 to Feb. 4.

And with 50 per cent of those break-ins involving unlocked cars, one can’t blame the Mounties for feeling like they are banging their heads against a brick wall trying to get the message out about crime prevention.

Locking your car is only the first step in preventing theft from vehicles. The other is to not leave valuables in your car when you park and walk away from it.

Simply stuffing a cellphone, GPS unit or garage door opener under the seat or in the glove compartment isn’t enough. You have to remove the temptation completely.

Loose change or the soon-to-be obsolete CDs may not appear to be valuable to some, but to a thief battling a drug addiction, they represent a lower cost for his next fix.

The hassle of removing tempting items from your car will seem pretty insignificant if you come back to a parkade and find your driver’s side window smashed. Or even worse, the car stolen.

Thieves work on opportunity and convenience and don’t like to waste valuable time for no return.

Any reason — such as a locked door — that makes them move on is a no-brainer.

Wall farm may drag down district Interwoven proposals not necessary, may prove costly

The ongoing public hear-ing on the Trinity Western University university district

has now been adjourned until April 15.

When the matter came up at Township council on Mon-day, Feb. 4, much of the discussion centred around the associated rezoning of the Wall farm, which is south of the campus and across the Salmon River and railway tracks. Plans call for 67 homes to be built in the midst of fields there, with a working farm surrounding them.

This contentious development has been before council for more than a year, and in my opinion, it may well drag the entire uni-versity district proposal down with it.

How? It’s quite simple. If the NDP are elected government in May, as opinion polls seem to indicate could happen, the Agricul-tural Land Commission will be one of the first agencies scrutizined. The ALC was set up by the NDP government of Dave Barrett and is a touchstone for the party.

I would be very surprised if an NDP gov-ernment does not immediately reverse the ALC decision to allow housing on the Wall farm, given that the land remains within the land reserve. But because of the artificial association between it and the Trinity univer-sity district, which seems to have primarily been at the insistence of Langley Township, the university district itself will come under far more scrutiny.

Metro Vancouver has already indicated its opposition to the district, which is primar-

ily to apply to Trinity-owned lands across Glover Road from the campus. Those lands, which do not have nearly the farming potential that the Wall property has, have already been removed from the ALR.

A university district surrounding TWU will give the campus an opportunity to expand in an orderly way over the next 50 years. It has grown substantially from its early days as Trinity Junion College, and it is an important institution in this community. It also is a key economic driver.

While Metro Vancouver is opposed to it, the reality is the university campus predates the ALR and could not easily be relocated. If it is able to expand to adjacent land which is only marginally good for agriculture, that seems to make sense.

However, if an NDP government wants to take a swipe at TWU (which has been in the sights of NDP allies like the B.C. Teachers Federation in the past), it would find that an easy proposition if its university district plans are interwoven with the Wall property.

It would be in TWU’s best interests to dis-sociate the university district from the Wall proposal. Let the housing plan stand or fall on its own merits.

However, it would be a negative for this com-munity if TWU’s plan to have a large university district also collapsed. Post-secondary education is an important benefit to this community, and we are fortunate to have two institutions located here. Township council needs to encourage both TWU and Kwantlen expansion plans.

Democracy under attack in Langley

Parking fees a challenge at palliative careEditor: I just watched Marketplace on

CBC and should like to add my experience regarding hospital parking lots.

I am a volunteer with palliative care on the Langley Memorial Hospital site.

As you can well imagine, the families and visitors are visiting their loved one or friend when clearly they are at the end of their life. They pay the price of parking for what they judge is adequate time (which is a sad state of affairs). In their grief and sadness, the last thing on their mind is feeding the parking meter, so getting a

ticket adds insult to injury.When I raise the subject with parking

attendants I am told “once they know they are going to be parking in the palliative parking lot over some time, they can pur-chase a parking pass for a nominal fee.”

At the best of times, some of us have difficulty navigating the parking meter sys-tems, least of all remembering to feed the meter when time has elapsed.

I have also had experience with bring-ing a family member to emergency when things were more complicated than we

expected. When I went out to put more money in the meter, I saw a woman plead-ing with the meter attendant to give her a chance to feed the meter, as she had to get change. He refused and gave her a ticket.

I never argue with the meter attendant, but I estimate I have paid over $200 for this very thing when my husband was taken to two different hospitals in the Lower Mainland in an emergency situation, over the last year.

Editor: Last time I checked, we lived in an open democracy. I always thought this to mean that, through due process and general, fair and open public con-sultation, the electorate could vote on and decide issues that face our City and Township.

Our elected council acting on our behalf would then manage these issues and spend our tax dollars appropriately.

Over the last year, actions by several members of the current Township council and Mayor Jack Froese have raised some alarming red flags that seem to point to a lack of due public process being followed on several important issues facing taxpay-ers.

Time after time in the news lately, I am reading about how special interest groups (such as universities and churches) seem to be operating extremely close to our coun-cil, in order to get favoured financial and land deals.

I ask, is this not a conflict of interest,

or even illegal? Are church and state not separate in

Langley? A recent letter published in The Province newspaper, regarding local land deals and tax spending in relation to Trin-ity Western University and our current Township council and mayor are incredibly disturbing.

Here are a few more recent events to jog your memory:

• Fort Langley development was pushed through, despite significant commu-nity objection. Who stands to gain from this? Follow the trail of players and see which interest groups they belong to.

• Langley Events Centre addition — pushed through council and approved without public consultation for millions of your taxpayer dollars, very quickly. Why? How?

• Aldergrove pool and recreation centre project proposal, rapidly pushed through.

• Trinity Western University expansion on former ALR land and Wall farm devel-

opment land deals, all tied back directly to our council and mayor. These are also being pushed through, despite considerable public objection.

• We’ve had members of the public removed and barred from public council sessions for stating objections to the coun-cil and mayor’s questionable actions and policies.

Why? This is not democratic. It is our civic right, and part of our due process.

There needs to be an immediate inves-tigation of our council and its ties to local special interest groups.

There appears to be a serious conflict of interest taking place on our current coun-cil. Council is diverting projects, making land deals, and committing large sums of taxpayer dollars directly to those interests, which most certainly do not represent the wishes of the diverse electorate here in Langley.

Editor: I have sent the following letter to Metro Vancouver air quality director Ray Robb:

I read the article in The Times (Feb. 5), “Clock ticking on compost decision.”

Composting is an ugly word for me, as for about three years my neighbours, fam-ily and I were subjected to unbelievable noxious odours from a mushroom factory on 16 Avenue in Langley.

There were many telephone calls to your office (the Metro air quality line), tele-phone calls and meetings with Bill Storie, manager of bylaws and meetings with the

mayor and Township councillors. We were pleading with them to stop this factory from producing these unbelievable smells, but to no avail.

I was told by the Metro people that the mushroom factory had “state of the art” com-posting equipment. You believed them.

The death of three workers and severe brain damage to two other workers finally put a stop to the composting operation. You did not stop it.

The air quality was atrocious most of the time. You and the Langley Township council did not pay one bit of attention to

all the people who were terribly upset with this facility on 16 Avenue.

You have an opportunity now to listen to the 120 people who attended the first meeting on the Glenval Organics proposal. Listen to them, for goodness sake.

Would you like to have a composting facility down the block from your house? The place would smell, and you know it. So do your job, move Glenval Organics a few miles east of Chilliwack. Let’s have some air quality in our neighbourhoods.

Roger Layton,Langley

Editor: I am writing to express my concern about the recent notice of motion that will soon be under extended discussion at Langley Town-ship council.

The crux of the conversa-tion will address whether or not a Township councillor can be restricted to a spe-cific number of notices of motion annually. I understand that Councillor Kim Richter received a legal opinion indi-cating that such a move would be contrary to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but the majority of council voted to continue to consider the mat-ter at a later date.

Many of our paid repre-sentatives on council seem to believe this is the direction that citizens support. The poli-cies of openness, transparency and free speech, which are the hallmarks of democracy, must be based on concrete principles that reflect what generations have fought and died for.

Although there may be merit in fine-tuning the cur-rent process, I suggest it is inappropriate to continue to discuss such a flawed propo-sition. This restriction would largely block an important mechanism through which cit-izens can have their concerns raised. Any diminishment of this access is problematic.

David Eby, former execu-tive director of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, says attempts to gag those who disagree with you politically “marginalize democratic citi-zen participation and deliber-ately treat the most valuable form of individual expression as inappropriate, invasive, threatening and bad, when in fact it is the prohibition on political speech that should have drawn those pejoratives.”

B.C. voters have had enough of bags of cash, instant party memberships, and corporate and union donations influenc-ing their provincial affairs, say three of B.C.’s independent MLAs.

Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson, Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington and Abbots-ford South MLA John van Don-gen are calling for reforms to party financing and a meaning-ful role for backbench MLAs. And they want the changes made in the brief legislative session that begins next week.

“People want MLAs to rep-resent their constituents, not special interests or party lead-ers,” said Simpson, who was kicked out of the NDP caucus in 2010 for criticizing then-leader Carole James’ lack of

policy specifics.The MLAs are also calling for

B.C.’s scheduled election date to be switched to the fall, so the May 14 vote will be the last one featuring a spring budget that remains an untested politi-cal document.

Simpson noted that one of the B.C. Liberal members sup-porting Premier Christy Clark’s leadership bid turned out to be a cat, and NDP leader Adrian Dix won his leadership contest with the help of bulk member-ships delivered at the voting deadline along with bags of cash to cover the $10 NDP membership fee.

Huntington, the only MLA elected as an independent in 2009, said B.C. is one of the last places in Canada that still allows political donations from corporate and union sources. She said B.C. should also ban donations from non-residents,

to prevent Alberta “oil barons” and other outsiders from influ-encing the vote.

Van Dongen, who quit the B.C. Liberals and later the B.C. Conservatives, said he was able to speak out about the cost to small business from the new Family Day holiday. NDP and B.C. Liberal members didn’t have that freedom because their leaders supported it, he said.

NDP house leader John Hor-gan said his party is on record in support of fall elections and banning corporate and union donations. But he doesn’t think it’s likely either one will be a priority for the B.C. Liberals as they use a 19-day session to set up for an election campaign.

Simpson said he will ask the government to consider at least the switch to fall voting in the spring session, which starts Feb. 12 with a throne speech.

A Langley man has been arrested by the Greater Victoria Regional Crime Unit for a rash of cigarette thefts targeting Costco customers.

Staff Sgt. Gary Schenk, with the RCU, said in August police in Greater Victoria identified a pattern in high-valued cigarette thefts.

“The suspects appear to be watching people make purchases (of cigarettes at Costco), then follow them to see if the opportunity presents to make a theft,” Schenk said. Most often, the suspect would break in to a vehicle left unat-tended after being loaded with the cigarettes.

An investigation revealed 28 nearly identical incidents throughout B.C in 2012., occurring in Saanich, Langford, Nanaimo, Burnaby, Abbots-ford, Coquitlam and Kamloops.

Since August, more than $20,000 in ciga-rettes were stolen in half a dozen incidents on Vancouver Island. In total, more than $100,000 worth of cigarettes were stolen.

In December 2012, RCU members identified a vehicle suspected of having been used in a number of the thefts, Schenk said. They traced the vehicle, and determined its travel patterns to and from the Island lined up with at least one of the thefts.

On Jan. 23, RCU members observed a sus-pect follow a vehicle from the Nanaimo Costco to an area restaurant.

“When the unsuspecting driver entered the restaurant (the suspect) donned a disguise, smashed the window out of the vehicle and stole approximately $3,200 worth of ciga-rettes which the victims had just purchased at Costco,” Schenk said.

RCU members followed the man to the Costco in Courtenay.

Once stopped in the parking lot, he was arrested without incident.

Christopher Sharafi, 46, was charged with four counts each of mischief under $5,000 and theft under $5,000, two counts of possession of stolen property, and one count each of disguise with intent, possession of break-in instruments, and fail to comply with conditions of recognizance.

The investigation continues, and Schenk says more charges are anticipated.

“We’ve linked all 28 events by the fact the cigarettes were recently purchased from Costco and were stolen, and it appears the victims were followed. We’re actively working to charge him with as many of them as the evi-dence will allow,” he said.

Given the amount of cigarettes that were stolen, along with “past experience and street-level intelligence,” Schenk says RCU members believe the smokes were being sold on a ciga-rette black market.

“We’re talking about cigarette volumes too great for any individual use or consumption. We definitely think they’re being resold,” he said.

A Langley woman’s frustra-tion with litterbugs got some action from Township council.

Lynette Walker appeared before council on Monday (Feb. 4) to say the southeast section of the Township, where she lives, has become a dumping ground for people who drop their trash in ditches.

“It is anything but beautiful,” Walker said.

“This is a health issue. Am I living in a Third World country?”

Walker said she thought about pulling the trash bags out of the ditches but she isn’t physically up to the task.

She asked council to cre-ate a consistent strategy for removing garbage from Township roadsides and ditches.

Councillor Kim Richter agreed there is a problem, saying she personally

counted five bags of trash dumped on the side of the road during a morning run that day.

“There are repeat offend-ers and we need to hit them with heavy fines,” Richter said.

Later in the same coun-cil meeting, Richter won support from a majority of council to have the matter referred to Township staff for a report on a litter control strategy.

south langley

Litterbug frustrations spill over At this point, however, that hasn’t been confirmed and only the cigarettes stolen on Jan. 23 have been recovered.

“This is a very significant arrest, just by the scope of the investigation, the dollar value of the stolen property, and just the fact that this guy’s been offending in the province for the length of time that he has,” Schenk said.

“We’re very pleased to have finally made an arrest on an offender that was preying on innocent and unsuspecting small business people.”

A proposed heavy truck repair facility for the 9700 block of 203 Street has been approved, despite opposition from neighbours concerned about noise.

Both sides got to make their case to the Township of Langley council a week before before the decision, which was made Monday, Feb. 4.

Resident Rob Dekam said people living nearby were con-cerned that the sound tests carried out for the shop owner only show the facility won’t exceed the average allowable noise limits.

The tests don’t allow for “annoyance” noise — sud-den peaks generated by the big trucks and the shop tools, Dekam told the Jan. 28 ses-sion.

He presented a second noise assessment prepared for the residents by a consultant who recommended against the facil-ity, citing potential noise prob-lems posed by things like truck back-up beepers and shop air wrenches.

The residents’ consultant also said the design — a pro-posed noise fence for the site — is not high enough at four metres to keep noise away from second-floor suites in the area.

Dekam urged council to have another noise study carried out by an independent third party.

“We would like another opinion,” Dekam said.

Pacific Truck Development owner John Williams said he

a borrowed money to buy the property and the delays in approval caused by the resi-dents objections could cost him as much as $1 million.

“The bank is kind of won-dering what we’re doing with it [the property],” Williams said.

The proposed $250,000 noise fence is not required under Township zoning regu-lations, Williams noted.

The company has gone “over and above our respon-sibility” to mitigate noise, Williams said, and he would not consider raising his noise fence any higher.

“I didn’t want to feel that we’re in a prison on our own property that we just paid $10 million for,” Williams said.

When the matter came back to council for a decision Mon-

day, the project was approved, after several attempts by various councillors to fine-tune the design failed to win enough votes.

An attempt to hire another expert to prepare an indepen-dent noise assessment was also voted down, with Mayor Jack Froese calling it a costly “precedent we don’t want to set.”

The project was finally approved with one alteration, a requirement to add some landscaping.

When the vote was taken, Froese and Councillors Grant Ward, Steve Ferguson, Bev Dornan, Charlie Fox and Michelle Sparrow were in favour. Councillors David Davis, Kim Richter and Bob Long voted no.

Curbside pickup of glass jars and bottles may be axed from a pend-ing reform of the blue box recy-cling system, forcing households to take glass to depots instead.

Members of Metro Vancouver’s zero waste committee were dis-mayed when told by staff Thursday of the proposal by Multi Material BC to eliminate glass collection at curbside after the industry-led stewardship agency takes charge of the residential recycling system in mid-2014.

“Whose idea was that?” demanded Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, the committee chair. “That’s going to be a big problem.”

He and other mayors predict residents will just throw glass in the garbage if it’s no longer picked up from homes at curbside.

“If people have to take their jars to a depot, they’re just going to throw them away.”

Multi Material BC chair Allen Langdon said curbside-collected glass breaks and contaminates other higher value recyclables, such as newsprint, paper and plas-tics, degrading their value.

“No decisions have been made, nothing has been finalized,” he said, adding Multi Material BC is taking comment on the pro-posed change to exclude glass until March 1.

Langdon said most glass — about 71,000 tonnes a year province-wide — already makes its way to processing via depots because of refundable deposits.

Only an estimated 2,500 tonnes of glass now gets picked up through blue boxes, he said.

And he said the curbside-col-lected glass arrives too contami-nated to be recycled into more glass — there is no glass-recycling plant in B.C. anyway — and typi-cally is used only for road aggre-gate or cover at landfills.

“If the glass is taken out, we actually think it will have a posi-tive impact in helping us to recycle more material,” Langdon said.

The Nanaimo and Central Okan-

agan regional districts already have depot-only glass drop off and don’t want to be forced to add it to curb-side pickup programs.

The change would be an advan-tage for Surrey, where residents are on single-stream recycling. Homes there don’t sort recyclables but jumble them all in the same blue box and they’re sorted at a highly automated plant.

Glass contamination of other materials is a bigger risk under such single-stream systems than in ones where residents separate streams, Langdon said, adding the switch would improve the amount and value of other material being recycled.

Langdon said Multi Material BC takes no position on whether sin-gle-stream recycling is better, add-ing cities that act as contractors would be free to continue with either system.

Curbside pickup for all other types of packaging and printed materials.

Critics say that because glass is one of the lowest value recyclables, a depot-only system that makes it harder for residents to return it will cut curbside collection costs and save the industry group money — but at a cost to the environment.

“They’re just high grading,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said. “They’re just trying to pick out what’s worth the most money out of the box.”

Corrigan said the intent of the new system should be to maxi-mize recycling, not focus on saving industry members money by cut-ting corners on usability.

Multi Material BC, which includes retailers, grocers, restaurants and newspapers, is a non-profit agency charged by the province with for-mulating a stewardship plan to collect and recycle all types of packaging and printed materials — including everything that now goes in blue boxes plus package types not currently collected.

Its packaging stewardship pro-gram is the latest in the province’s efforts to make industry groups take back and deal with the waste they generate.

Multi Material BC intends to offer collection contracts first to cities or local recycling societies that already do it. If they don’t accept the price the agency offers, it would seek other contractors, or set up its own fleet of trucks to pick up material.

The Ramada Langley Surrey at the corner of Hwy 10 and 192nd is currently undergoing additional renovations and updates to add even more value, style and elegance to this award-winning establishment.

With numerous hotels popping up recently in the Langley area – changing the landscape from a rural farming town to a thriving metropolis – a continuous makeover of the hotel is necessary, according to Virginia Trelenberg, General Manager of the Ramada Inn at 19225 Hwy. 10.

Just three short years ago there was a complete renovation of all the guestrooms. Those updates included new wall coverings, drapery, carpeting, furniture and beds along with the addition of 4 beautiful wine-themes jacuzzi suites for special occasion users. The indoor pool and Jacuzzi were redone at that time as well. We are now doing further upgrades.

“Things have changed dramatically in the hospitality industry. In order

for us to keep up with the trends and even surpass them, we’ve had to make some more physical changes... changes we are very excited to reveal.”

Recently, the Ramada opened its brand new � tness facility, complete with modern decor and state-of-the-art � tness equipment.

Complete renovation of all the guestrooms

“There’s no reason why guests

can’t stay with your � tness regimen while travelling with this sleek new facility,” says Trelenberg

matter-of-factly. Another big change to the

hotel – voted Best of the Best in Langley in 2011– is the addition of the Bakerview Executive Boardroom, which is the perfect spot for guests to host a small conference or business meeting.

“We can accommodate up

to 12 people in this stylish new boardroom or up to 40 in the existing Fraser Room,” notes Trelenberg. “The hotel can also help with all your catering needs and AV rentals.” Other changes include: a new linen program, new large � at screen HDTVs, revamped dining and kitchen areas for our complimentary daily hot breakfast and much more.

Even with all of the renovations currently underway, Trelenberg notes guests won’t have to put up with any noise or interference at the hotel.

“We make sure that no one is booked into a guestroom adjacent to a particular area being renovated and we are

now only a few weeks away from completing the entire project.”

In addition to the physical transformation, the Ramada Langley Surrey has undertaken a signi� cant change to their sta� ng.

“All of our front sta� are further developing themselves by taking on special projects and learning what else

they can do to contribute to the overall success of the hotel,” says Trelenberg.

And it is the sta� that has put the Ramada on the map and in the heart of each guest.

In just three short months, the hotel has climbed up three spots on Trip Advisor based on the feedback of guests. The hotel also ranks four out of � ve stars on most reviews.

“The positive customer comment cards we receive are overwhelming,” says Trelenberg of her team’s success and dedication.

“Our people are committed to the overall success of the hotel – they are in the hospitality industry because they are hospitality experts. They are polished and professional and they strive to make sure our guests feel at home when they are here. I can’t thank them enough for all that they do!”

‘I’ll have what she’s having.”“Of all the gin joints, in all

the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.”

Classic lines from some of Hollywood’s greatest love stories.

What’s the perfect date movie for Valentines Day? The Clova Cinema in Cloverdale recently turned to its patrons for the answer.

The locally-owned and operated movie theatre is arranging a romantically-inclined line-up for its Feb. 14 double bill. Local movie-goers and newsletter subscribers were asked to vote via email for their favourites — from When Harry Met Sally to Romeo & Juliet, The Notebook, and Pretty Woman to While You Were Sleeping, A Walk to Remember, and Crazy Stupid Love.

Suggestions were welcomed, too.“Basically, the top two movies with

the most votes will be played, so we really need your feedback on this,” Clova staffer Samantha wrote in a Feb. 1 newsletter.

Over on The Clova’s Facebook page, votes started stacking up for Crazy Stupid Love, Pretty Woman and The Notebook as fans weighed in with comments.

“The Clova will be full of women and the bar next door will be full of men,” predicted Stephanie Barrett.

Patron suggestions included Annie Hall, A Walk in the Clouds, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Chocolat, starring Johnny Depp.

“Johnny Depp for Valentines Day would be a real treat!” according to Denise Warren.

There were several votes for Pretty

in Pink, too.While women appear to have taken

the task seriously, it was a different story with some of the men, offering up titles such as Expendables 2 and Alien — films that are entertaining, but leave something to be desired in the romance department.

Terminator and Shawshank Redemption fans are also out of luck.

“There just weren’t enough votes for those two movies,” Samantha explained, delivering the verdict Tuesday.

Coming in at number one is The Notebook, a 2004 weepie (and MTV Movie Award winner for Best Kiss), followed by Casablanca at number two, one of the best-loved films ever made.

Pretty Woman and Crazy Stupid Love (heavily favoured by the Facebook nation), rounded out the top four, and Sleepless in Seattle and When Harry Met Sally weren’t too far behind.

So, on Thursday, Feb. 14 the Clova presents Casablanca at 7 p.m., followed by The Notebook at 9:05 p.m., in a Valentine’s Day double bill.

Tickets are $10. Proceeds from the Valentines

Day movie event will go towards the cinema’s conversion to a digital projection system.

Don’t miss this chance to see Casablanca on the big screen. The 1942 classic, filmed in luminous black and white, stars Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman as Rick and Ilsa, and a scene-stealing Claude Rains as Cpt. Louis Renault.

The Notebook is based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks and stars Ryan Gosling, Rachel Adams, Gena Rowlands and James Garner.

Unlike a recent testosterone-fueled double bill (above) on Thursday, Feb. 14, the Clova Cinema will present a romance-filled Valentine’s Day double feature. First up is Casablanca (left) the classic story of starcrossed lovers Rick and Ilsa, followed by The Notebook, the 2004 story of starcrossed lovers Noah and Allie. Am I sensing a theme here?

Roll a ball and help put a stop to bullying.

It may not be quite that sim-ple, but getting a team together and participating in Big Broth-ers Big Sisters of Langley’s annual Bowl for Kids’ Sake event is definitely a good first step toward helping kids who are having a tough time fitting in with their peers.

BBBS Langley is getting set to once again host its annual bowling fundraiser — it hap-pens on March 1 and 2 at Wil-lowbrook Lanes.

If those dates don’t work, why not plan to find somebody who is bowling and pledge them a few bucks?

Money raised at the event will stay in Langley and go toward programs that match local children who need a good friend with adult ‘Bigs.’

In addition, BBBS Langley operates in-school and teen mentoring programs and offers regular group activities for unmatched ‘Littles.’

But all of these services come at a cost, and the annual Bowl For Kids Sake event is a major source of funding for the non-profit agency.

What can’t be measured in dollars and cents is the posi-tive effect that having a good and trusted friend can have on a child. That is especially true when that child is the target of a bully.

“Ninety-five per cent of Canadians agree that freedom from bullying is the right of every child and teenager,” said Mary Reeves, executive direc-

tor of BBBS Langley.Citing the findings of a

national survey commissioned by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada, Reeves noted that more than 40 per cent of bul-lied Canadians believe they would have benefitted from having a volunteer mentor, such as a Big Brother or Big Sister, to provide support.

And a strong majority of Canadians — 78 per cent — believe that not enough is being done to stop bullying in their communities, the survey indicates.

“Clearly there is strong sup-port for action to reduce bully-ing and its harmful effects on our communities,” said Reeves.

8th Annual WINE TASTING


artsandlife

Kurt LangmannBlack Press

Four young girls were happily picking and fretting their guitars along to a Taylor Swift song last Thursday in a quiet room

at Aldergrove’s St. Dunstan’s Anglican Church. Their instructor Tristan Paxton patiently guided them through the chords and notes to the current pop chart hit for the hour-long lesson.

The four music students, like several others in the Langley and Abbotsford area, are receiving professional-quality instruction at no charge, thanks to the fledgling Music Access Society.

The non-profit society, based in Aldergrove, was founded late last year by Anne Guite and John Briner with the aim of providing a top-notch music instruction program to youths who could not otherwise afford such a program.

Thanks to the many donors who’ve stepped up with gifts of money, free meeting space and instruments, and fundraising events organized by Guite and Briner, the program has taken off.

“We’ve had a lot of instruments donated, people have been very generous,” said Guite.

“The principal of Blacklock elementary school donated several keyboards which are used by 15 students at our program in the Al Anderson pool meeting room — and the room was donated by the City of Langley.”

Long & McQuade, Tapestry Music and Ryan and Stephanie Langford are also sponsors of the MAS programs in Abbotsford, Aldergrove and Langley.

In addition, Langley Rotary and Kinsmen clubs have pledged funding for the program.

Parents are required to register the students but the only cost is a $25 refundable deposit for any instruments which are loaned. The instructors are also screened for criminal records by the society to ensure the safety of the students.

“The families are not down-and-out, but they simply don’t have any money for extras, whether it’s soccer or music or whatever.

“This program gives them a healthy alternative to video games,” said Guite.

For information see their website www.musicaccesssociety.com or call 604-259-8452.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder, unlike other anxieties or phobias, could be described as the fear of nothing – or the fear of anything. People who suffer from

it are often crippled by the worry and agitation and often experience physical symptoms as well: racing heart, upset stomach, muscle tension. Fast-acting remedies are available, but the best results come from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and antidepressants.

Relaxation exercises can contribute to a better sense of wellbeing. While some are more involved, some ‘mini’ exercises can be pulled out in just about any situation. eep breathing is a relaxation classic – especially when combined with slowly counting down from 10. Deep breathing can also be used with progressive body relaxation if time allows. Repeat as needed!

Mental health issues are rarely discussed, but the fact is that they represent a burden to the health care system that is more than 1.5 times

greater than cancer – and seven times greater than infectious diseases! Yet, these issues receive much less attention than other conditions. In the report coming out of Ontario was hope that shedding light on the burden will help direct more spending where it is sadly needed.

Have the dark days of winter been getting you down? Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is real and results in clinical depression for about two per cent of the population. It is thought to be related to the lower levels of daylight in the winter and the main treatment is…light! Just 30 minutes of daily exposure to special lightboxes, which produce intense light of about 10,000 lux, usually do the trick.

Medical grade lightboxes are available without a prescription. Talk to our pharmacists to find out if this therapy may be appropriate for you.

Friday night may very well be a dream come true for Brenden Dillon, but it has been a long time in the making.

“I definitely have the 15th circled on my calendar,” he admitted. “It should be pretty fun.”

Dillon, a 22-year-old from Surrey, was referring to the Dallas Stars’ upcoming visit to Rogers Arena on Feb. 15.

“You grow up watching the Canucks and going to a couple of games, and seeing how special that was, see all the guys out on the ice,” he said in a phone interview on Jan. 31.

“So it will definitely be a dream come true being out there.”

The day before speaking with The Times, Dillon had registered his first NHL fight, when he scrapped with Detroit’s Jordin Tootoo.

And while that may have been a milestone in Dillon’s brief NHL career, he one-upped it the very next game against Phoenix when he registered an assist, scored his first career goal, and then completed the Gordie Howe hat trick with a scrap.

And fighting might be an apt description for Dillon’s journey to the NHL.

“Looking back, I have always had that chip on my shoulder,” he said.

“Wanting to prove people wrong and just show that I can be a player one day.”

Dillon tale is of the classic late-bloomer.A defenceman in the Surrey Minor

Hockey Association, Dillon was bypassed in the Western Hockey League’s bantam draft.

When Dillon was 15 he spent the summer training with Impact Hockey Development, a Langley-based program run by Tim Preston and Tyler Chambers.

“They did a really good job that summer of making me into a stronger player and a better hockey player,” Dillon said.

He attended a tryout camp for the junior B Hope Icebreakers of the PIJHL and landed a roster spot.

At five-foot-two — not exactly what scouts are drooling over — Dillon went through a growth spurt and now, seven years later, he is six-foot-three and 228 pounds.

“Tim has meant so much to me from right when I met him to even now, every summer, I will continue to go back,” Dillon said.

“It is such a good program.”Following one season in Hope,

Dillon landed a spot with the Seattle Thunderbirds of the Western Hockey League, coincidentally, the same organization Preston played for from 1997 to 2002. Preston was a third-round NHL draft pick of the Buffalo Sabres in 1999 who played half a season in the ECHL (East Coast Hockey League).

Dillon became a mainstay on the Thunderbirds blue-line and was listed by NHL Central Scouting as the 91st ranked North American skater for the 2009 draft. Once again, he was not chosen.

Undeterred, Dillon kept plugging away and in his final junior campaign in 2010/11, he racked up eight goals and 51 assists in 72 games. He was also the team captain.

Dillon said his time in the WHL was vital in helping him prepare for life as a pro hockey player.

“You see how grueling the schedule is, the travel is, so many games in a low amount of time,” he said.

“But I always had it in the back of my mind that maybe I could play pro one day.”

Dillon said a dozen or so teams were interested in him, but he met with Dallas first, and they offered him a free agent contract. He joined the organization’s American Hockey League affiliate Texas Stars for the 2011 playoffs and then spent the full season last year with Texas.

He did get called up for one game last April and made his NHL debut against St. Louis in the regular season finale.

“It is pretty tough to put into words,” he recalled about what he felt that night.

“You think about from when I first put on my skates to play in the NHL, the best league in the world and the best players in the world, it was a dream come true and probably something I will never forget.”

He played nearly 20 minutes that night, registering a game-high six shots, four hits and three blocked shots.

But for this lockout-shortened season, Dillon has been with the big club from day one and making an impact.

He is paired with Stephane Robidas, a 35-year-old in his 12th NHL season and with more than 800 games on his resume. Dillon has also been living with Robidas.

“He has got all the tools you can ask for in a defenceman,” Robidas said on the Stars website.

“He’s got the size, he’s got the speed, he can move the puck, he can shoot it, he can be physical and he can fight.

“You can pretty much throw him in any situation. He’s got the whole package.”

Through the season’s first 11 games, Dillon has two points and is a plus-one in 18:26 of ice time per game. His ice time is third on the team.

Dillon said he never had a problem staying positive.

“I have a good group of people around me, from my trainers, to my parents and coaches, who really mentored me to have the ‘don’t quit’ attitude,” he said.

“That is something that has stuck with me: hard work will always help you, especially at this level.

“Guys are so talented, so good, any extra work or mental toughness or whatever you can use to help yourself, gives you an advantage.”

Preston, who talks to Dillon two or three times a week, will be at Rogers Arena on Friday watching the game.

“Just watching him go through the ups and downs and growing pains of being in hockey … he was a kid who never stopped trying, never stopped believing in himself,” Preston said.

“He just loved the game and would do whatever it took to improve and develop.

“The biggest thing is he never stopped believing in himself and neither did his parents.”

And Preston says that Dillon serves as a great example for both young players and their parents.

Parents and players need to understand that just because a kid is drafted at 15 or plays rep hockey, that they are not always on the fast track to success.

“A lot of parents don’t understand that this is a journey, it is not a sprint or a marathon,” he said.

Too often he hears from parents who question whether putting the effort in to take the next step in development is worth it and the players don’t believe they will make it.

“A lot of times those kids stop chasing their dream because the hill is too far, it is too big of a mountain to climb,” Preston said.

“I never made it quite as far in hockey as I wanted and there are different reasons for that, but I always felt I gave it everything that I had so I never had any ‘what ifs.’”

“Brenden had a plan and he had goals and aspirations; he knew his hard work and his determination and his desire would pay off,” he said.

“He has absolutely dedicated his life to hockey since he was 15 years old.”

“I have a good group of people around me, from my trainers, to my parents and coaches, who really mentored me to have the ‘don’t quit’ attitude,” he said.

“That is something that has stuck with me: hard work will always help you, especially at this level.

“Guys are so talented, so good, any extra work or mental toughness or whatever you can use to help yourself, gives you an advantage.”

Preston, who talks to Dillon two or three times a week, will be at Rogers Arena on Friday watching the game.

“Just watching him go through the ups and downs and growing pains of being in hockey … he was a kid who never stopped trying, never stopped believing in himself,” Preston said.

“He just loved the game and would do whatever it took to improve and develop.

“The biggest thing is he never stopped believing in himself and neither did his parents.”

And Preston says that Dillon serves as a great example for both young players and their parents.

Parents and players need to understand that just because a kid is drafted at 15 or plays rep hockey, that they are not always on the fast track to success.

“A lot of parents don’t understand that this is a journey, it is not a sprint or a marathon,” he said.

Too often he hears from parents who question whether putting the effort in to take the next step in development is worth it and the players don’t believe they will make it.

“A lot of times those kids stop chasing their dream because the hill is too far, it is too big of a mountain to climb,” Preston said.

“I never made it quite as far in hockey as I wanted and there are different reasons for that, but I always felt I gave it everything that I had so I never had any ‘what ifs.’”

“Brenden had a plan and he had goals and aspirations; he knew his hard work and his determination and his desire would pay off,” he said.

“He has absolutely dedicated his life to hockey since he was 15 years old.”

at James Kennedy Elementary on Jan. 25 as part

of the Fortis BC Energy Champions

program. Gary AHUJA/Langley Times

Little changes in their every day lives can help students reduce their environmental impact and “take green action for the Earth.”

That was the message delivered by a pair of B.C. Lions football players, Jason Arakgi and Jon Hameister-Ries, who visited Walnut Grove’s James Kennedy Elementary on Jan. 25.

The players were speaking to the students as part of the FortisBC Energy Champions program.

The program is designed for elementary school children and emphasizes the importance of teaching students to make little changes in their every day lives which will help reduce their environmental footprint.

This is the fourth year of the program and in 2012 alone, it visited 75 elementary schools throughout the province.

In addition to visiting James Kennedy Elementary that day, the players also stopped at Fort Langley Elementary and Alex Hope Elementary.

Mario BARTEL/Black PressLangley Thunder forward Caleb Pearson streaks up field past New Westminster Hyacks defender Frank Darby in the first half of their Pacific Coast Lacrosse League U-14 game on Saturday at Queen’s Park.

The Langley Blaze know they are representing B.C. this August at the senior men’s Baseball Canada national championships. But they are looking for some help to get there.

The Blaze won the provincial title last August, earning themselves a ticket to Windsor, Ont. for nationals, which run Aug. 21 to 26.

The baseball club, which is made up of young collegiate player home for the summers and other recently-graduated players, is looking for sponsors to help fund their travel costs.

The team plays an aggressive schedule versus top teams from B.C. and from Washington State in two separate leagues — the Pacific International League

and the Pacific Metro Baseball League.

To help support and sponsor the team, please email [email protected].

The Langley Rivermen have landed a player with some hockey bloodlines with the commitment of forward Darien Craighead for the 2013/14 season.

Craighead, who turns 16 on March 7, plays for the Valley West Hawks of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League and is third on the team in scoring with 16 goals and 30 points in 34 games.

Craighead is the son of former pro hockey player John Craighead, who played more than 600 games professionally — including one season for the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1996/97.

“It is one of those things where we believe in bloodlines,” said Rivermen coach and general manager Bobby Henderson.

“We have been pretty close with their family

for a number of years and it has given me plenty of opportunity to watch Darien play.

“He has put in a lot of hard work in the past couple of years and we believe he is on the right track to becoming an elite player.

“If you watch Darien play, you can very much tell he has had great coaching and guidance from his father.

“Just by talking to him, you notice right away he is willing to learn and is a student of the game.”

The Surrey native is a five-foot-10 150-pound right-winger.

“I am very excited about becoming a member of the Rivermen,” he said.

“I have practiced with them a couple of times this year and being around that type of environment was

really neat and it has always been a dream of mine to play for Langley.”

Craighead describes himself as more of a playmaker, although this is the first season he has more goals than assists.

“I think I can see the ice fairly well out there and can shoot the puck pretty good for the most part,” he said.

“For me, I am used to putting up assists, but this year has been different and the puck has been going in more.”
