Metro Vancouver voters have resounding-ly defeated a proposal to add a 0.5 per cent sales tax in the region to fund transit and transportation expansion.
The proposed Metro Vancouver Congestion Improvement Tax that would have funded $7.5 billion in upgrades over 10 years was re-jected with 61.7 per cent of voters saying No and 38.3 per cent saying Yes.
The defeat leaves the region without an es-timated $250 million in new revenue the tax would have brought to expand transit.
Surrey and Vancouver are expected to try to cobble together their own plan B strategies to built light rail in Surrey and a SkyTrain exten-sion west along Broadway.
But the region will be without the funding required for a broad 25 per cent expansion of bus service, including many more frequent express bus routes that had been in the may-ors’ plan, nor will it have money for increased SkyTrain, HandyDart, night bus or SeaBus service that was to have swiftly kicked in af-ter a Yes vote.
Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner had warned that light rail would cost local residents more if the sales tax was defeated.
Nor is it clear if light rail in Surrey — as-suming it can be built with hefty senior gov-ernment contributions — will be as viable and effi cient in covering its operating costs if it is not accompanied by much-bolstered connecting bus routes to bring riders.
“It sets up a really nasty situation where some people are getting improved rapid tran-sit service in some areas but other people’s transit service is being cut back,” said Eric Doherty, a HandyDart advocate.

Convicted murderer Davey Butorac is looking for love.
The 36-year-old Aldergrove man, who was convicted in the murder of Langley City prosti-tute Sheryl Korrall, and is fac-ing trials in the killings of two other women, has posted his profi le on the dating website
“Canadian Inmates Connect.”Butorac’s profi le indicates
that he has been convicted of second degree murder and that his expected release date is undetermined.
It does not specify that he was convicted of killing a woman.
Butorac is set to go to trial, charged with second degree
murder in the deaths of Alder-grove mother, Margaret Red-ford, and Abbotsford prosti-tute, Gwendolyn Lawton.
Butorac was originally found guilty of second-degree mur-der for killing Lawton, 46, and Korroll, 50, but appealed and won new trials for both.
In April, he was found guilty again by a jury of his peers for
killing Korroll. He will be sen-tenced in September.
He was scheduled to be back in court in connection to the other two women’s deaths, on July 2 to fi x a date for trial.
His dating profi le reads that he likes music, drawing, talking on the phone and lift-ing weights.

Convicted killer Davey Butorac of Aldergrove, has posted his profi le on a dating websites set up to cater exclusively to Canadian inmates.

He is looking for a ‘special girl’ to share life with.
The Canadian Inmates Con-nect site garnered attention last week when it was discovered that Luka Rocco Magnotta, who made headlines worldwide for the grisly killing and dismem-berment of a university student in Montreal in 2012, had posted a profi le.
Magnotta, who is being held at a Quebec prison, says he’s look-ing for his “prince charming,” for a long-term, committed rela-tionship.
Surrey Six killer Matt Johnston is also looking for love on the dating website. Johnston, who is serving his time in Quebec, says he is an honest person and ‘nev-er turns his back on a friend.’
The inmate dating website was started by a Canadian woman in 2013. It isn’t affi liated with Cor-rections Canada, however, the federal agency doesn’t scrutinize the accuracy of the inmates’ pro-
fi les or limit their ability to meet new women through the site.
The website has been criti-cized as being offensive to vic-tims of crime.
Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney has asked that Correc-tional Service Canada ensure dangerous and violent criminals aren’t able to further exploit in-dividuals.
There is at least one man on the site who is a convicted rapist, but most are murderers.
Through the site, the inmates can receive letters and pictures from women and, if they want, they can get married in the jail.
Most recently, convicted crimi-nals, including men convicted of murder and assault in Langley, have started their own Facebook profi les while in prison.
The inmates are able to inter-act with friends through Face-book. Corrections said that fed-eral inmates do not have access to the Internet.

‘Yes’ forces had argued defeat would mean worsening conges-tion as the population grows and demand pressures worsen on a frozen transit system, spurring more transit users to drive in-stead.
‘No’ campaign head Jordan Bateman exploited many voters’ unwillingness to pay more — es-pecially to TransLink — and ar-gued more money could be found if cities restrained their own spending and tax growth.
He successfully framed the campaign as a vote on TransLink, which he accused of mismanage-ment and which had come off major SkyTrain breakdowns and a failure to fully launch its new Compass card payment system on time.
Mayors never wanted the ref-erendum and repeatedly said something as crucial to the re-gion as transit expansion should not go to a public vote.
They had previously wrung a pledge from former Premier Gordon Campbell to allow a new transit revenue source.
But Premier Christy Clark back-tracked from his stance and promised in the 2013 provincial election a new tax source for TransLink would only be allowed if it was approved by local voters.
Left with only that path to new funding, mayors agreed last year
to the vote and chose a hike in the provincial sales tax from 7.0 to 7.5 per cent within Metro, rath-er than other options, such as a vehicle levy.
With the sales tax rejected, mayors could still raise TransLink property taxes, which are an ex-isting source, but they are loathe to do so. That option has been repeatedly suggested by the pre-mier.
If mayors hold fi rm to the need for a new source, it’s unclear how that can happen without a new referendum the premier has said can’t be held before the next mu-nicipal elections in 2018.
In the meantime, observers predict some cities will consider freezing much new development in areas that planners had as-sumed would be served by better transit in the future. Any clamp-down on new home construc-tion could drive real estate prices higher.
One project TransLink is still expected to pursue is the $1 bil-lion replacement of the Pattullo Bridge, to be funded through tolls.
Mayors also intend to pursue some system of road pricing and Transportation Minister Todd Stone has signaled some form of tolling reform will be required if the Pattullo and future Massey Tunnel replacement are both tolled, leaving only one remain-ing free crossing of the Fraser River.
Several observers expect a ma-jor shakeup coming to TransLink.
SFU City Program director Gor-don Price said the TransLink board of directors should submit to a reconfi rmation of their seats by the mayors’ council.
He said the result means the re-gion will likely have to live with “a second rate transportation system” because it’s all we can afford.
“Politically, it may be better for the province not to have to
commit itself to large scale, sus-tainable ongoing funding, but to be able to pick and choose those projects it believes are best for the region, but also politically ad-vantageous and affordable,” Price said.
From the beginning of the referendum, ‘No’ campaign leader Jordan Bateman, argued that TransLink had mis-managed taxpayers’ money and should not be rewarded with an additional .5 per cent tax.

Keeping impaired drivers off the road continues to be one of the RCMP’s national priorities.
Police have begun their Summer Coun-terAttack season, and for the month of July, a particular empha-sis will be placed on locating Langley’s im-paired drivers.
On Friday, July 3, the Langley RCMP will be out, actively looking for people who driv-
ing under the infl u-ence. Enforcement efforts will focus on several key areas in Langley.
Langley Mounties are also participating in the Light Up the Bridges campaign that will see roadblocks on local bridges.
On average, 86 peo-ple die in B.C. ev-ery year in crashes involving impaired driving, 23 of those in the Lower Mainland
alone. Impairment re-mains a leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C.
“Motorists can ex-pect Counter Attack checkstops at various locations throughout the Langleys,” said Sgt. Alex Mulvihill, NCO in charge of Langley RCMP Traffi c Services.
“If you’re going to drink and drive in Langley, expect to get caught and dealt with according to the law.”

Langley RCMP allege a man robbed another man of his wallet while holding a pointy ob-ject to the victim’s throat on June 29.
The victim was walking in the 20400 block of 54 Avenue when the shirtless suspect ap-proached him, shortly before 11 a.m.
The suspect produced a pointy object, which he held to the man’s throat as he took his wal-let, said police.
Anyone with information that might assist police, is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Kitten Palooza is being called a huge success with hundreds of people visiting the Langley animal shelter and more than two dozen kittens being adopt-ed on Saturday, June 27.
The Patti Dale Animal Shel-ter in Langley adopted out 23 kittens and one adult cat that day.
“We have only one adoptable kitten left,” said LAPS animal care manager Jayne Nelson, who organized Langley’s fi rst Kitten Palooza.
Ori, a tuxedo with a lovable personality, is still looking for a home.
“We also took many appli-cations for kittens not yet available — that means we have whole litters of kittens that already have great homes waiting for them once they are spayed and neutered.”
Well Seasoned owner and Township councillor, Angie Quaale, and her partner, David, sold hotdogs and water by do-nation and raised over $300 for LAPS, running out of hotdogs in the process.
“All and all, (it was) a fan-
tastically successful day,” said Nelson.
The kitten population this year has exploded all across Metro Vancouver, with kittens coming early this season, said Nelson.
Before the adoption day, LAPS was at capacity, with 100 kittens, most being cared for in the homes of foster parents.
The SPCA has also said its kitten population has explod-ed this year.

From a baby porcupine to marmots and mink, this year’s open houses at Critter Care wildlife re-habilitation centre is going to be wild and woolly.
“This has been an absolutely crazy year, very busy with so many animals,” said Critter Care founder Gail Martin.
“This heat has been hard on all the animals and the volunteers and staff, too.”
Critter Care released nine bears back to the wild on June 24. They still have six in their care, in-cluding the two cubs that arrived small and ema-ciated last May.
Critter Care specialize in the treatment, care and release of sick, injured and orphaned B.C. mammals, including skunks, raccoons, coyote, deer, otters, bobcats, lynx, bears, opossums and squirrels.
Once a year, they open the facility to the public to let them see how it all works and for people to have the chance to meet some of the babies and see all their antics.
This year, the two-day open house takes place on Saturday, July 11 and Sunday, July 12 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Along with plenty of entertainment, food and tours to see the animals, animal rescuer Norm Snihur will be there along with his two-seater helicopter.
“Norm picks up wildlife for us all over the prov-ince and brings them to us,” said Martin.
“He brought us a couple fawns from Gibsons last week. He does it for all the animal rescue centres and has for years.
“He is one of the many amazing volunteers we are lucky to have.”
Ori, a black and white ‘tuxedo’ cat, was the only adoptable kitten still waiting for a home when Kitten Palooza wrapped up at the Patti Dale Animal Shelter in Langley last weekend. The event saw 23 kittens and one adult cat adopted and more than $300 in donations raised.

Q: What is a dental implant?
A: If you are missing one or more teeth, you may want to consider having them replaced with dental implants. A dental implant is an artifi cial root that is inserted into the jaw bone. A replacement tooth is then attached to the dental implant, which simulates the look and feel of your natural tooth. Multiple implants may be used to replace multiple missing teeth, and a combination of single crowns, fi xed bridges, or even removable dentures may be anchored onto these implants.
Dental implants are a comfortable and long-lasting option for healthy, suitable candidates. Speak with your dentist to determine whether dental implants are the best option for you. Your dentist may have special training in placing implants, or may refer you to a specialist for the procedure. Keep in mind that the whole process will require multiple appointments, typically spanning over a period of 4-6 months before completion. Lastly, just like your natural teeth, dental implants need to be properly cleaned and cared for – that way, they will last a lifetime in your mouth.

Drinking water reservoir lev-els have fallen rapidly in Metro Vancouver and tougher water use restrictions are a conserva-tion option.
A move to stage 2 restrictions could, if necessary, be directed by the regional district’s water commissioner, according to Metro utilities committee chair Darrell Mussatto.
He said he wouldn’t be sur-prised if that happened by July 3, but Metro water services gen-eral manager Tim Jervis said last week his department does not yet anticipate a need to go that far.
“We had a record dry May, June is very dry and we’ve got hot weather coming up,” said Mussatto, mayor of North Van-couver City.
“We need either some rain to fall in signifi cant amounts to get the reservoirs back up or we’re going to have to look at curtailing use.”
Under Metro’s Water Shortage Response Plan, stage 2 restric-tions would force residential lawn sprinkling to be cut to one day a week, ban aesthetic washing of driveways and side-walks, as well as much use of pressure washers.
Fountains and water features would be shut down and water play parks could only run with kid-activated buttons under stage 2 restrictions.
Watering of school yards, sports fi elds, park lawns, cem-eteries, boulevards and golf course fairways would be cut to minimal levels, in most cases once a week.
Mussatto said the lack of rain and hot weather has been a “double whammy” driving de-mand up — water use is run-ning 17 per cent above last year’s rate so far.
On top of all that, the region had near-record low snow ac-cumulation in the mountains, so the typical infl ow into reser-voirs is greatly reduced.
Metro’s reservoirs were at 83 per cent capacity as of June 24, but a graph comparing the water supply to historic trends shows an alarmingly steep drop in recent weeks towards record low levels.
“That red line is not where we would like to see it,” Mussatto said.
“The reservoirs are not getting fi lled up and we’re using more than we normally would, which is not a good combination.”
He urges home owners to stop watering lawns altogether as he
has done.“You don’t need to water
your lawn. It goes dormant. It doesn’t die.”
People used to hosing down driveways and pressure wash-ing decks should switch to a broom, he said.
The region has asked BC Hydro to reserve extra water from the Coquitlam reservoir, which the Crown corporation manages, in case it’s required for drinking water. The region would have to pay Hydro up to $600,000 if it taps the extra water that might otherwise be used to generate electricity.
Stage 3 and stage 4 water re-strictions could be imposed un-der Metro’s Water Shortage Re-sponse Plan to further conserve water, if necessary.
At stage 3, all lawn sprinkling is banned, and hot tubs and pools can’t be refi lled.
At stage 4, all watering of plants with treated drinking water is banned, all car washes, water parks and public outdoor pools shut down, and many other water uses are allowed only if ordered for health and safety reasons.
Mussatto said the region has only ever briefl y imposed stage 2 and 3 water restrictions, in 2002.
Stage one restrictions are the standard rules that run from June through September allow-ing thrice weekly lawn sprin-kling from 4 to 9 a.m.
Metro eyes declining water reservoir levelsSTAGE 2 RESTRICTIONS POSSIBLE IF HOT, DRY WEATHER PERSISTS
Snihur has fl own as far as Kamloops and as close as Victoria to safely transport injured or or-phaned wildlife.
Highlights of this year’s open house will again include RCMP, a fi re truck and fi refi ghters from Hall 5, a stilt walker, face painting, dunk tank, bouncy castle, animal mascots and the West
Coast Thunder horse drill team will wow the crowds. Food is offered all day.
Admission is $2 per adult, kids are free.Critter Care is in great need of toilet paper, tis-
sues, garbage bags, cleaning products, towels, re-ceiving blankets and even kiddy pools to cool the animals. There is plenty of parking. Tours should be booked upon entry. Critter Care is at 481 216 St. in Campbell Valley Park.

Did you celebrate Canada Day at a community event this year?
Do you support Langley Township’s pro-posed Aldergrove recreation complex??of the week
Questionwe asked you:Last Week
Here it is, the fi rst week of July. Summer isn’t yet two weeks old and already, we’re in the midst of a heatwave with no end in sight.
Could it be that the relentlessly hot weather is making our brains soft?
Is there another possible explanation why, despite the fact that temperatures have been lingering in the high 20s or low 30s for what feels like forever and despite the lack of rain and resulting in desert-like conditions, people are still fl icking their butts?
Never mind that carelessly discarded cigarettes are litter and are, therefore, disgusting. Under the right conditions — exactly the conditions, coincidentally, that British Columbi-ans fi nd themselves in at the moment — they have almost unlimited potential for destruction.
What we can only hope is a small minority of smokers are giving what is already a widely reviled habit, an even worse name.
Whether they’re fl icked out the window of a car, or dropped and given a half-hearted turn of a heel during a walk, cigarette butts are being discarded without, appar-ently, so much as a second thought to the property, lives or safety of everyone around them.
In Langley last weekend, it was a tossed cigarillo that ig-nited a cedar hedge and melted the side of a house.
And it could have been so much worse.It’s a problem, of course, for City and Township fi re crews,
who have to gear up and battle searing hot fl ames in 30-plus degree weather.
But it’s a much bigger issue than that.Even before summer offi cially arrived last week, the prov-
ince had all but tapped out its wildfi re fi ghting budget for the entire year. Dry lightning storms in the Interior contin-ue to ignite parched vegetation, leaving crews scrambling.
Mother Nature doesn’t need any help from humans in that department. But she’s getting it anyway.
June’s unrelenting dry heat was certainly out of character for the typically cool and soggy month, but this is hardly the fi rst stretch of hot weather British Columbians have ever seen. We know better.
Three years ago this month, a dozen politi-cians gathered at the Inn at Laurel Point for a press conference about sewage treatment funding. Reporters from every outlet in town took furious notes as offi cials proudly com-
mitted $500 million from the provincial and federal gov-ernments towards the most expensive project in Capital Region history.
Langford Councillor Denise Blackwell, then chair of the CRD’s core area liquid waste management committee, es-timated shovels would be in the ground by the “beginning of next year, for sure.”
That year came and went, as did 2014, with little more than an upgraded pumping station and $60 million to show for it, as ill-advised plans to put a wastewater treat-ment plant and a biosolids facility in Esquimalt imploded.
An educated public raised hell to push the reset button and eventually proved that the democratic process can still putter to life when prodded.
But what has the region actually accomplished since that hot July morning full of gold-star promises?
The CRD is at least attempting to collaboratively restart the sewage locomotive before federal treatment guidelines come down hard in 2020; and local elections have installed new mayors who prize public engagement over cocooned decision-making in the two largest Southern Island mu-nicipalities.
As Langford Mayor Stew Young told Black Press recent-ly, the botched Seaterra program has been “a debacle and waste of taxpayers’ money,” and he noted most of that wasted money won’t be recovered.
That means the fi nal price tag for a regional sewage treat-ment network is almost certainly going to increase beyond the allotted $788 million, which means the overspend will be siphoned directly from the coffers of municipalities and by proxy, homeowners’ bank accounts.

Old books hold more than just history lessons
With a Tim Horton’s double-dou-ble in hand, clad in summer shorts, T-shirt and sandals I strolled through a few early Saturday morn-ing garage sales. On a June day, pre-dicted to be a scorcher, this is the best time, as the sun is still picking her way through the Brookswood trees and the odd lawn sprinkler provides a spray of cool mist. Ev-eryone is pleasant and agreeable at this time of the morning.
One table has a very well pre-served set of National Geographic Cana-dian Natural History books piled on the corner. The hard covers display iconic Ca-nadian scenes of Canada geese or north-ern vistas. The seller shares how much en-joyment she got from collecting them and reading them and now they sit for sale, any offer accepted, no doubt.
The Encyclopedia Britannica produced its last printed edition, a 32-volume hard copy production in 2010 ending a 244-year run. The company president, now based in Chicago stated: “Some people will feel sad about it and nostalgic about it. But we have a better tool now. The website is continu-ously updated, it’s much more expansive and it has multimedia.”
We had an old set of encyclopedias in our house that helped six kids get through school. I think the story of their arrival in-volved a door-to-door salesman and know-ing my dad, I would have loved to have sat in on that presentation.
It was interesting when we had to use them as a resource for a school assign-ment. The four older kids all had the same teachers in high school so if either H. Man-ley or N. Manley, two brothers who taught at LHS, gave us an assignment, odds were
that our older siblings had been given the same task.
Sure enough, if I went to the musty old volumes in the book case in the hall way, I would easily fi nd where Ellen, Jack or Betty had underlined paragraphs or made notes in the margins. There was my assignment half written for me. Of course, I would delete a word here or here or rearrange a paragraph or two just so no one would fi gure out I was copying from the book.
Later on we upgraded to a set of Britanni-ca Junior, and that meant we also received an annual update and neat supplements such as an atlas with amazing detailed maps and photographs. But there was no simple button pushing. We had to peruse the table of contents or search the index for information.
To locate a spot on the map we had to determine the page number and the refer-ence co-ordinates and then, using two fi n-gers, zero in on the location. Do they still teach any of that today? If you gave a high school student an atlas and asked him to fi nd a Canadian city, how long would it take?
Where do old books go? I have a dozen Hardy Boys books on a shelf in my spare room. Grandkids are not interested in them because Frank and Joe Hardy never used a wand or conjured up super powers to de-stroy the bad guys. But I recall that the last few chapters, read under the covers with a fl ashlight well after bedtime were pretty darn exciting.
When it starts raining again, spend some time in a used book store. Your youth is the book mark between those musty pages.
At least, that’s what McGregor says.

Editor: It is another excellent decep-tion by Vancouver mayor Gregor Rob-ertson — another tax levy (cash cow) for the city, taxing high-priced real estate and defl ecting his role in a run-away industry, at the same time.
Excuse me, but all of Metro’s real estate market is overpriced. Its entire makeup is perception and drivers that echo the stock market — not actual, tangible value.
Housing is now a commodity. There is no density debate amongst Metro residents. Residents know that one million people are coming and they also know they have no say in it.
For most there is only feelings of anxiety and for a few there is the an-ticipation of a windfall.
It is ironic that the very ambiance that made Metro a magnet is now be-ing destroyed by the capitalists that are creating the market.
The same factors that create this real estate frenzy are creating traffi c congestion.
The problem starts with federal
government, but every level of gov-ernment nurses, capitalizes and pro-motes it. Creating lane-way houses and 300-square-foot lofts may suit a handful of idealists with rose-co-loured glasses, but you can’t raise a family of four, fi ve or six in that space.
To the fanatics who argue building more roads only brings more cars, specialty housing will only fuel mar-ket-making and higher prices — no studies needed.
Already, road hockey has disap-peared. It is against the law to smoke, drink, use air mattresses or beach balls at the beach but it’s OK to ooze your toes through the sand and dog s--t, where the most expensive real estate on the planet (west of Spanish Banks) is now a dog beach.
Last year they actually closed the beach during a heat spike because — wait for it — there were too many people.
The feds already fi shed out the rich-est fi shing hole in the world in the Grand Banks and it will not recover in
our lifetime. The expected sockeye count on the
Adams River last year did not materi-alize by half. These people can’t man-age fi sh so now they will try managing people?
Metro has been on water rations every summer for as long as I can re-member. The million people will also need water and South Surrey ran out of that a few years ago for a couple of days. Maybe Nestle’s will help us out and we can buy some back from them for a dollar a litre.
The foundation is already cracked, people are moving out because all their tax money is being used to fi -nance the future and there is not enough left to look after today.
The cost of this program is far too high.
The locals are being squeezed fi nan-cially, psychologically and physically. There is no debate. Fix the problem.

Runaway real estate market putting the squeeze on locals
Editor: It is appalling that at a time when rodeos are under attack for maltreat-ment of animals and the fact that animals are ex-ploited for entertainment, that the Langley Riders So-ciety would be promoting youngsters to chase down a goat at their Little Britches Rodeo.
What kind of message are you sending to children when you encourage them to put animals in distress?
If you wouldn’t let chil-
dren chase puppies or kit-tens or put these animals through traumatic events in a rodeo, why would you do so to other animals just be-cause they are labeled live-stock?
There is no difference in every animal’s will to live without pain or fright.
I hope you will set a bet-ter example for society by teaching children compas-sion, kindness, and respect.
PATRICIA TALLMAN
LANGLEY
Editor: Honouring the Past, Investing in the Future was the motto of this committee when we set out last year to celebrate Langley Memorial Hospital’s South Tower 50th anniversary.
After months of planning and two special events — a tea for present and former staff, and a barbecue on the hospital grounds for staff and the public — we feel we have accomplished our goal.
Judging from the decibel level at both events, it can be assumed that they were a resounding success.
The excitement of people who had not seen each other for years, but still had so many memories to share, was intoxicating.
And it was gratifying to feel the energy and interest of the present staff as they welcomed Langley citizens to view memorabilia, and tell stories of their associa-tion with LMH, particularly the South Tower that has become the cornerstone of the present facility.
However, neither the tea in February nor the recent barbecue could have happened without the help and support of countless individuals.
The Langley Township fi refi ghters; the hospital de-partment managers and staff; volunteers and LMH Auxiliary members and Sodexo staff went above and beyond in ‘assembling and disassembling’ for both events, and we sincerely thank you.
Our thanks also to Mount Lehman Credit Union, J.D. Farms, Aldergrove Credit Union and Fort Langley BIA for the loan of tents for the barbecue; to Five Star Ca-tering and Milsean Caterers for the good food, and to the Inglewood Band for the entertainment at the bar-becue.
Thanks to the Langley Times and the Langley Ad-vance newspapers for advertising and covering the events, especially to Times columnist Jim McGregor for his excellent column about our hospital on the hill.
Our special thanks to the two people who guided our committee — Graham Hiscocks of the LMH Founda-tion and Craig Goulet from Fraser Health Authority; and to Dr. Elaine Mah whose generous monetary con-tribution towards the celebrations made it all possible.
Our committee has fulfi lled its role to honour the past; now we leave it to the LMH staff and future gen-erations of Langley citizens to continue to invest in the future.
DORIS REIDWEG,
ON BEHALF OF THE LMH SOUTH TOWER
50TH ANNIVERSARY COMMITTEE
Writer Patricia Tallman says that having children chase live-stock, as was done as part of an event at the recent Little Britches Rodeo, is no different than allowing them to chase and traumatize a puppy or a kitten.

Master These Water Wise Tips to Decrease Your Water Usage: Water Wise is a Township initiative delivered in partnership with Langley Environmental Partners Society.
• Limit lawn sprinkling to once a week for an hour. This allows your lawn to stay green while increasing its resilience to drought.
• Fix leaks in your toilets, showers and faucets. Repairing leaks is a great and easy way to save a lot of water.
• Replace old ineffi cient fi xtures in your house with water-saving fi xtures.
• Spread a layer of organic mulch around your plants to help the soil retain moisture.
• Use rain barrels to water the garden – the fl owers love rain water.

For parents whose children, aged six to 14, struggle with the basics of reading and math skills, fi nding afford-able summer tutoring can be a challenge.
The Learning Disabilities Association — Fraser South Chapter (LDAFS) is offering individualized one-on-one tutoring at the Langley School District offi ce, 4875 222 St. from July 6 to Aug. 28.
Children who participate,
will be guided by a specially trained tutor who works un-der the direction of an expe-rienced, certifi ed teacher, us-ing research-based strategies developed to help children with learning disabilities, ADD or any child who is hav-ing diffi culty with reading, writing or math.
It is estimated that 10 to 15 per cent of the population have learning disabilities, while many others remain
undiagnosed. To make it affordable to all
families, some partial sub-sidies are available through the CKNW Orphan’s Fund, for families in fi nancial need.
Students attend twice a week for either July and/or August. Each tutoring ses-sion is 90 minutes long.
LDAFS will also offer a summer program that helps students with learning dis-abilities, or ADHD prepare for
the challenges of secondary school.
Steps for Success program runs Aug. 31 to Sept. 4 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. or 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the LDAFS Re-source Centre.
The class size is limited to six, so that attention can be devoted to each student.
More information about both programs are available at www.ldafs.org or by con-tacting Tania at 604-591-5156.

Langley’s Kyle Belton has combined his love of lacrosse —he plays in the win-ters with the Vancouver Stealth and in the summers with the Langley Thunder —with his business acumen.
Submitted photo
GARY AHUJATimes Reporter
Owning his own business was always the plan for Kyle Belton and lacrosse has proven the way to accomplish that goal.
It started by watching his fa-ther Cal successfully run his own business — Valley Car Co-lour, a car paint and auto sup-ply company on the Langley/Surrey border — for more than 25 years.
“Growing up, watching my dad start a company from noth-ing, I knew that was something I wanted to do,” Belton said.
Belton was always a high-lev-el lacrosse player as he went through the ranks of the Lang-ley Minor Lacrosse Association. And he played well enough to eventually earn himself a schol-arship to play fi eld lacrosse at New York’s Stony Brook Univer-sity.
“Lacrosse and being able to go to university, came hand-in-hand. I just took the oppor-tunity to work my hardest and try and get a scholarship and live both dreams in that sense,” Belton explained.
And when he wasn’t on the fi eld, he was in the classroom earning his degree in business.
Belton graduated from Stony Brook in 2012 but has continued
in lacrosse, playing profession-ally during the winters in the National Lacrosse League and in the summers with his home-town Langley Thunder.
And last off-season, Belton was picked up in a trade by the Vancouver Stealth from the New England Black Wolves.
Now permanently in the Low-er Mainland, it allowed Belton a chance to start putting his busi-ness acumen to good use by partnering up in a pair of busi-ness ventures.
His fi rst business is a compa-ny called CurbSmart.
A friend’s dad, who worked for a concrete company install-ing parking curbs in the Lower Mainland, realized there were a lot of smaller jobs which were not getting done.
The company was started by Tanner Derrien, with Belton coming on board, providing his business knowledge to help re-vamp the website and company logo.
And now comes his latest venture, and once again, he is partnering up, this time with a former intermediate and junior, as well as university teammate, Jordan McBride.
The pair always talked about creating some sort of lacrosse company.
McBride graduated a year ahead of Belton and established Era Lacrosse in 2013 with Belton coming on board earlier this year once he relocated to the West Coast.
The company has a full line of lacrosse shafts for athletes of all skill levels.
McBride and Belton come up with the designs, send them to a graphic designer, and then get the sticks made overseas.
They rely mainly on online or-ders, although they have begun attending major lacrosse tour-naments, selling their sticks on site.
“Jordan really laid the founda-tion for this company and I am just happy to be on board and be able to create shafts and (be) innovative,” Belton said.
“It is cool to have an idea in your head and to have it actu-ally come to life and hold it in your hands is pretty satisfying.”
Belton compared being a busi-ness owner as similar to playing a game.
“Like lacrosse, you never real-ly know what is going to hap-pen,” he said.
“It is exciting; you get beat up and you have to pick yourself up.
“You learn a lot about your-self.”
Lacrosse leads to business plan
Three Langley wineries are featured in the 2015 edition of the BC Wine Guide.
Township 7 Vineyards, Do-maine de Chaberton and Vista D’Oro are the Langley wineries listed among the 26 featured in the guide.
The guide features more than 40 pages of information for wine lovers to use this summer as they visit their favourite win-eries and wine stores.
“These may not be the big-gest wineries in B.C., but I think they make the best wine,” said author Stephen Bruyneel. “For those used to the same
old names on the liquor store shelves, many of these will be a revelation, both in terms of quality and price.”
The BC Wine Guide is a no frills, 40+ page guide to all of BC’s wine regions — the Okana-gan, Naramata, Similkameen, Vancouver Island, and the Fras-er Valley. Based on over 20-plus years of personal tasting, drink-ing and cellaring B.C. wines, it narrows down the wineries to visit, how to fi nd them, their best wines, and even contains personal tasting “tweets”.
“For some of the wineries and wines, it may well be the largest
collection of tasting notes ever compiled,” added Bruyneel.
For those buying these elite wines, it gives you a sense of both their style and aging abil-ity.”
The format for the wine guide is pretty straight forward, with an emphasis on usability.
“It comes as a PDF, so you can print it off or keep it on your smart phone to use while tast-ing or shopping,” said Bruyneel.
“I hope it will show people just how good B.C. wines can be.”
For more information, go to www.sgwinesite.com.

While cycling 160 kilome-tres in less than fi ve hours is an above-average time, Roy McBeth has his mind set on bettering his 2014 mark.
Competing in the Prospera Val-ley GranFondo for the fi rst time in 2014, McBeth fi nished the gru-eling ride in 4:53:38, which was good for 43rd in the men’s 35 to 44-year-old age group.
It was also 43 minutes better than the average time (5:36.58) of all 502 participants for that dis-tance.
“I was not feeling very good, but I had made it,” McBeth said.
“I don’t think I was slow by any means, but I would like to im-prove on that.”
What makes his 2014 time even more impressive was the fact Mc-Beth did so with a kidney func-tioning in the 15 to 17 per cent range, by his estimation.
McBeth, who is now 45, has cy-cled for the past 20 or so years, competing in mountain biking, road racing, cyclocross, triathlons and Xterra, which is off-road tri-athlon events.
But he always did so while struggling with a hereditary ge-netic condition called polycystic kidney disease (KPD).
It is a disorder that causes mul-tiple cysts to form in the kidneys.
McBeth’s grandmother died of the condition in her late 30s while his dad passed away in 2010 at the age of 63.
McBeth was diagnosed as a teenager.
“There is not a lot you can do for the disease,” he explained.
“The best options are to live a healthy lifestyle, watch your diet and don’t drink excess alcohol, that sort of stuff.
“I knew it was coming. It was more trying to get out in front of what the end game was from what I had seen from other fam-ily members and knew that I didn’t want to go that route with the years of dialysis, kind of wast-ing away in that manner.”
“I didn’t start to notice any de-cline in my health and my phys-ical performance and competing until my mid 30s; that’s when the kidney decline really started to accelerate (and) by the time I was in my 40s, things were really started to become problematic,” he added.
Things really began to go down-hill about two years ago.
McBeth began to suffer high blood pressure, fatigue and leth-argy. Cysts also began to grow on his kidneys, becoming so en-larged that it became harder to exercise because the cysts would
push on his diaphragm, making it harder to take deep breaths. He also suffered nausea, headaches and just generally not feeling well.
“Things sort of snowballed and once things go bad, they pick up and get bad quite fast.”
He was facing either dialysis — a process that removes waste and excess water from the blood and must be performed four or fi ve hours every second day — or a transplant.
None of his family members could donate a kidney due to their history of PKD and neither his wife Anne nor her family members were suitable matches.
McBeth, a detective with the Abbotsford Police Department’s domestic crimes unit, was en-couraged by one of his sergeants to draft a letter and forward it throughout the department.
A number of people were tested
to see if they were a match, and one, Insp. Kevin Wright — Mc-Beth’s boss — was found to be a suitable donor.
This was last November and on Jan. 14, the pair went in for sur-gery at St. Paul’s Hospital.
McBeth woke up the next morn-
ing feeling better already, he said.Within fi ve days, he was home
and within a couple of weeks, McBeth was able to walk a few kilometres. And within six weeks, he was back on his bike riding.
His recovery time was helped by the fact McBeth had a healthy lifestyle, was younger and the fact his donor was alive and also healthy.
McBeth’s also entered the Forti-us Changing Gears contest.
The contest asked for submis-sions from cyclists who were training for the 2015 Prospera Val-ley GranFondo with the winner receiving a Fortius Sport & Health Cycling Training Experience, val-ued at $3,500. The winner would meet an exercise physiologist who would design an individual-ized training program to help the rider achieve their goals.
McBeth has been working with Fortius since early March.
The 2015 Prospera Valley Gran-Fondo is set for July 19, and once again will begin and end at the Fort Langley Historic Site and take riders through the scenic Fraser Valley.
McBeth did a 50-km mountain bike ride in May and last month did a triathlon.
Another thing McBeth is doing is trying to spread awareness about organ transplants and do-nations.
“It has been such a remarkable journey for me and you really see the impact it has on people and their lives,” he explained.
You meet all these people who have gone through similar cir-cumstances and what their jour-ney has been. And because things have gone so well for me, I really hope to spread the word about organ donation and show people what is possible.”
McBeth has designed a kit which features the Donate Life and B.C. Transplant logos.
It also features the date of his transplant on one sleeve while the other has a donor ribbon with Wright’s initials.
He doesn’t typically bring up his story unless someone asks him after seeing his kit.
“When I am out riding with people and we are doing 100 km training rides, I don’t bring it up until someone will ask me what the kit is about,” he said.
“It is a real conversation start-er.”
“Once people ask I am more than happy to let people know.”
McBeth wants to be a role mod-el/ambassador for living donor organ transplants.
As part of his plan to spread awareness, McBeth, his wife, Wright and Wright’s wife plan on competing as a relay team at the Penticton Challenge in late August.
They will set up a tent and ban-ners and try to register more peo-ple for organ donation.

When all was said and done, probably 300 schools of all sizes contacted point guard Aislinn Konig.
And when the dust had settled, the 17-year-old from Langley had chosen North Carolina State, verbally com-mitting to join the Wolfpack women’s basketball team for 2016/17.
“It is a lot quieter around the house,” Konig said about having the decision out of the way.
She gave the Atlantic Coast Conference Division 1 school her verbal commitment last month.
Konig, a fi ve-foot-10 point guard who enters Grade 12 in September, has captured back-to-back most valuable player awards in leading the Brookswood Bobcats to con-secutive B.C. 3A senior girls provincial titles.
“Probably the best player I have ever coached, and I have coached some good ones,” said Brookswood coach Neil Brown.
“She is a kid who is very fo-cused on what she wants.”
Brown said he was amazed that his point guard was able to maintain her focus this past season, given the level on interest she was generat-ing from college and universi-ty coaches.
“Every practice, game, there were coaches sitting and watching,” he said, adding that there was also the con-
stant barrage of emails, texts and letters.
“To keep an even keel … she is just an extremely talented and focused kid.”
Brown also said that despite all the attention she has re-ceived, Konig has never got-ten an ego, and maintained her work ethic.
Out of all her recruiters, Konig said she went on 10 unoffi cial campus visits, but just two offi cial visits: Stan-ford and then North Carolina State.
And after visiting the Ra-
leigh school, she was sure of her decision, although she did not give her verbal commit-ment until about 10 days later.
“When I got there (Raleigh), I pretty much knew,” she ad-mitted.
“It wasn’t a super easy choice, but after I made it, I had no regrets.”
Konig said she felt a good bond with the people she met from the program and that was important to her.
“You want to be surrounded by people who you think you will have a good relationship
with and enjoy talking to be-cause on those diffi cult days, those are the people that are going to be there for you,” she said.
Another factor was making the school and the program had ample support from the athletic department, as well as liking the potential of the Wolfpack.
With the decision out of the way, Konig will gear up for the AAU season, playing for BC’s Finest out of the BC Elite Bas-ketball program coached by her father Frank.
Brookswood Bobcats’ Aislinn Konig has won back-to-back most valuable player awards in leading the ’Cats to consecutive provincial high school championships. Konig enters Grade 12 in Septem-ber for her fi nal year of high school before she attends North Carolina State on scholarship in 2016.

POWER LINE TREE PRUNING AND HAZARD TREE REMOVALS LANGLEY
When: July 2 to September 30
Time: 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Trees are a significant cause of power interruptions. Contact between trees and power lines can also create a severe danger.

Langley Blaze’s Rhys Cratty slides safely into second base against the Parksville Royals on Sunday after-noon. The Blaze edged the Royals 5-4 in extra innings and 11-0 to sweep the doubleheader at McLeod Park to improve to 24-12 in the B.C. Premier Baseball League.
DAN FERGUSON Langley Times
After a close call which required extra innings in game one, the Lang-ley Blaze made sure game two was no contest, sweeping a doublehead-er against the last-place Parksville Royals.
Langley improved to 24-12, which is good for third spot in the B.C. Pre-mier Baseball League.
Brendan Coulter tossed a gem, al-lowing just one hit over four innings in an 11-0 Blaze win on Sunday af-ternoon at McLeod Park.
The offence was taken care of Brendan Halstrom, as he had three RBIs while Tony Pharand and Day-ton Wilson drove in a pair apiece.
The fi rst game saw Langley fall be-hind 3-1 in the fourth inning before the Blaze rallied to lead 4-3 heading into the fi nal inning. But after the Royals forced extra innings, Langley won it in the bottom of the eighth when Broden Bydeweg scored on a Parksville error.
Yi-An Pan picked up the win with 2.1 innings of relief pitching. He struck out three of the nine batters he faced.
Wilson had a pair of RBIs for the second straight game.
The Blaze are in Victoria on Sun-day (July 5) for a doubleheader against the Mariners.
The Langley Junior Blaze shook off a rare loss — just their fourth of the season — by pounding the ball against the Victoria Junior Mariners, putting up a combined 31 runs to sweep a doubleheader.
Langley shook off the 7-1 home loss to the Abbotsford Junior Car-dinals on June 24 —they strand-ed 14 base-runners — by defeat-ing Victoria 14-0 and 17-7 in the provincial capital at Layritz Park on Saturday as they improved to 21-4, 2.5 games clear of second
place North Shore for top spot in the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League.
In the fi rst victory, Michael Stovman came through with both his arm and his bat.
On the mound, he scattered fi ve hits over six innings, walk-ing one and striking out seven for the shutout. And at the plate, Stovman went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and four RBIs.
Jake Kristensen also had a
monster game at the plate with three hits and fi ve RBIs, including a grand slam. He was just a triple short of hitting for the cycle.
The Blaze offence scored eight runs in the opening inning of the 17-7 victory in game two.
Jayden Knight (four RBIs), Bren-dan Winning (three RBIs), Brock-ton Wickins (two RBIs) and Cole Schwing (two RBIs) led the of-fence while Colby Ring earned the win, allowing three runs on fi ve hits over three innings.

Alisha Welch will wear the Maple Leaf this week as part of Canada’s junior women’s national softball team.
Welch was one of the 17 athletes selected to play for Canada after participating in a selection camp over the weekend in Cloverdale.
Canada will play in the Futures Gold division of the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Champion-ship, which begins today (July 3) and runs until July 12 in Surrey.
Welch will also represent Cana-da next month (Aug. 9 to 15) at the

Welch — a Walnut Grove graduate who just completed her sophomore season with the UMass Lowell River Hawks — led her team with a .299 batting average.
The short-stop started all 47 games.
Welch was one of three Langley women selected to attend the selec-tion camp, as Taylor Gillis and Dallas Tilley were among the 28 competing for a roster spot.
The Langley Thunder scored three straight goals to win for a season-high third straight game.
Pat Saunders notched the winner midway through the third period to give Langley the 8-7 victory over the Burnaby Lakers on Tuesday (June 30) at Bill Copeland Arena in Western Lacrosse League action.
The Thunder had not led since opening the scoring and they trailed 3-1 and 6-4 at the fi rst and
second intermissions, respectively.Saunders and Anthony Malcom
each had two goals while Athan Iannucci had a goal and three helpers as the Thunder improved to 5-5.
Kyle Belton and Jakob Doucet had the other Langley goals while Bro-die MacDonald stopped 36 shots for the win.
The team is on Vancouver Island for two games this weekend.
The 17th annual Drive for the Cure tees off next week at Langley’s Redwoods Golf Course.

Smashing cars every which way to save lives
‘‘It’s quite a show to witness up close, but this is not entertainment; the various impact tests the IIHS run are designed to save lives.’’Keith Morgan
Ruckersville, Virginia: Crash, bang, wallop and the crash test is all over in a shorter time than it takes to say those first words aloud.And you would have to speak loudly to be heard over the loud bang and sounds of shattering glass that echo around the cavernous building used to test the crash worthiness of dozens of vehicles annually by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It’s quite a show to witness up close but this is not entertainment, the various impact tests the IIHS run are designed to save lives. And, should you be tempted to smile, an inspection of the smashed vehicle will soon wipe it from your face.Prior to the test smash, a group of Canadian journalists spent a couple of hours touring the facility, eyeing many mangled wrecks, which, reassuringly, looked less wrecked the closer we got to later models. Clearly, their designers had learned some good lessons from the kind of thudding impact we witnessed. Car safety design has come a long way in the past 50-plus years and we were reminded of that as we entered the lobby. There was displayed a frighteningly crumpled 1959 Chevy Bel Air: nobody would have walked away from that smash in one piece.By the time we reached the viewing gantry above the test track, we were ready to witness, the ‘small overlap frontal test’, which simulates the impact of a car’s
front corner colliding with another car or utility pole. The lights began to shine brightly and we heard the rumble of the car as it launched along the 180-metre guide track. As the driver’s side of the car hit the one-metre high barrier, the dummy driving may just have noticed the spee-do was hovering at 65 km/h. (Shouldn’t have taken his eyes off the road.)All was captured on high-definition cameras from every angle and before we were released to amble over to inspect the damage, technicians armed with laptops downloaded all the crash data stored by sensors in and on the car. On impact, the car had spun off almost three metres to the right, rotating before it came to a halt it what might have been a sidewalk in real life. Hope there was no pedestrian in its path. At
the end of the day, the car manufacturer representa-tives would walk away with a DVD loaded with data and images to be followed by a detailed examination some weeks later.It’s over so quickly it’s hard for the casual observer to learn much but a slow motion video made for chilling viewing as you see the $250,000 dummy driver (some cost up to $600,000) flailing while hitting the airbag. Every habitual red-light runner should be forced to take in this horror movie.The IIHS, which began in 1959, is a U.S. non-profit
organization funded by auto insurers. The goal is to reduce injuries and fatalities (on U.S. roads and highways), but its powerful research has an impact worldwide, no pun intended.The tour was truly a revelation and demonstrated well how most of today’s cars come through rigorous impact tests with good marks and those that don’t soon get a fix. We were hosted by Subaru Canada, which has much to boast about, though it was re-strained in blowing its own trumpet on location.All Subaru models have been named IIHS “Top Safety Picks” for six years running. And that’s some feat: to qualify as a 2015 Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn ‘good’ ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests, as well as a ‘good’ or ‘acceptable’ rating in the small overlap front test.Subaru is excited that its optional ‘Eyesight’ system has earned the top IIHS rating of Superior for front crash protection. According to Subaru Canada, the company expects the percentage of buyers opting for Eyesight to increase from the current 19 per cent to 30 per cent by the end of the 2016 model year. The Eyesight system detects obstacles and is capable of bringing a vehicle to a complete stop at speeds up to 50 km/h.By the way, for those concerned about crash test dummy cruelty, Raul Arbelaez, vice president of operations for the IIHS, says: “Our dummies aren’t getting as hurt as much they used to. We don’t have to replace as many rib cages anymore.”

An electric luxury car designed to avert range anxietyIt is often lamented that many of the concept cars at the inter-national auto shows never see the light of day as production vehicles.Well, the Cadillac ELR looks every bit like a futuristic concept and it is available today. This car is something to see, especially in person, with sweeping lines and aggressive front lights, like a spaceship. In fact it won the 2013 Eyes on Design Award at the North American International Auto Show, an award judged by all of the heads of design form each automaker in attendance…that’s some judging panel At first glance it has more than a passing resemblance to the Cadillac CTS Coupe but underneath is a very different platform.LooksThis is essentially the Chevrolet Volt electric car, morphed into a Cadillac, with two fewer doors. Taking what Cadillac learned from the CTS coupe and transplanting that look onto an electric car has made the ELR a high-end electric alternative, to say a Tesla. The two-door design has hidden electronic door handles that release by touching a pad inside the recessed door handle. Not to worry, there is a redundant mechanical mechanism. The 20-inch wheels have specially designed tires for efficiency and handling. The trunk is a good size for a small sporty coupe, but it is the front where all the jewelry is showcased. The headlamps are stunning to see during the day or at night. The vertical daytime running light are Cadillac’s signature now and they look fantastic. The LED headlamps along with rear LED lights make this a true luxury product. InsideThe same futuristic and luxury approach continues on the inside. The materials used are spectacular, rich and welcoming. Cadillac combines alcantara (faux suede), chrome, wood, hand cut and sown leather seats and available carbon fibre. This combination of colours and textures, combined with the sweeping shape is first rate. This interior can stand on its own with any other luxury brand. Cadillac uses the same Cue infotainment and communi-cations system throughout its line of products and it features a
rich graphics package with cutting edge connectivity. But this car isn’t without fault. The touch sensitive centre console isn’t for everyone; some might prefer traditional knobs and buttons and the high gloss surfaces can show dirt quickly. Then there is the
back seat or lack of. This isn’t a four-seat car but a two-seater with storage for a gym bag. Why this has a back seats is a mystery.DriveThe Chevrolet Volt is the best selling electric car in Canada, not the Tesla or the Nissan LEAF. People have come to realize that the combination of electric range and a gasoline-extending generator is a good compromise; it isn’t all electric or nothing. The ELR, just like the Volt it is based on, is plugged
in and charged, usually overnight. It takes more than 12-hours on a typical 120V plug to get the job done or about five hours on a more powerful 240V system. Once charged, the car runs on electric-ity for about 65 km before the gasoline extender kicks in to allow the driver to run up to 480km, or longer, if the car is refueled. The 16.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and the electric motor puts out 295 lb.-ft of torque to the front wheels, similar power to the Cadillac 3.6-litre gasoline engine used in other products. One way to extend the electric range is to use regenerative braking to help recharge the battery. The paddle shifters behind the steering wheel do that. The driver can use these in combination with the regular brake to modulate driving. It takes practice but is kind of fun.
VerdictHere is the part that is hard to swallow, the price. The ELR starts at $78,250 - a lot of money for any car. This is a very limited mar-ket, a two-door sporty looking Cadillac that is also electric. If they made this into a sexy 4-door, the ELR would have more takers. As it stands, Telsa seems to have that market cornered for sexy and expensive electric cars. What the Cadillac has over the Tesla is a world-class interior, something Tesla has fallen short on. On the flipside, Tesla has a huge available electric range without the aid of a gasoline engine. So the market for the ELR is limited. If you are in the market for a two door futuristic ready to drive concept car, this one is very well executed; it turns heads everywhere it [email protected]

ELLIOTT, Gregory WesleyMar 22, 1961 - June 17, 2015
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing, of Gregory Wesley Elliott, at home with family by his side on June 17, 2015. Greg leaves behind his loving wife of 28 years, Nancy, daughters Brandi (Greg) and Robyn, son Jeff Yoerger and grandson Landon Yoerger, brothers Vern (Ev) and Colin (Lorraine), sisters Sylvia Furlot & Marna Penner, and many nieces, nephews, family and friends. The family would also like to thank the wonderful palliative care nurses, especially Dean-na and Teresa, for their care and compassion.Greg grew up in Port Kells and graduated from Lord Tweed-smuir in 1979. That same year he began a 29 year career at West Rim Express Lines. In 2008, after the sale of West Rim, Greg began working for Stewart Trailers, where he worked until being diagnosed with lung cancer in May 2014. Greg will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate to know him.A celebration of his life will be held on July 19, 2015, at 1pm at the West Langley Hall at 9402 208 Street. In lieu of fl owers, the family asks those to donate to a charity of their choosing.
