Two injured in Walnut Grove shooting

Township wins fight over university district

MONIQUE TAMMINGA AND DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporters

The normally quiet Walnut Grove neigh-bourhood of Forest Hills became a scene out of a crime movie, with K9 units, police armed with high-powered rifl es and eventually the arrest of several people, who were chased on foot on Sunday afternoon.

Around 3:30 p.m., police swarmed the area, cor-doning off several blocks along 216 Street between 88 Avenue and Telegraph Trail. Numerous people out walking were told to stay away.

Police were on a foot chase with suspects in-volved in a shooting and assault that took place just beforehand, at a property in the 8300 block of 216 Street, said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks.

An off-duty offi cer hap-pened to be in the area when the shooting took place and relayed infor-mation to police who were en route, said Marks.

On top of that, sever-

al Surrey RCMP offi cers were already in the area, working on another in-vestigation.

The property where the shooting took place was housing a licensed me-dicinal marijuana grow operation.

The grow-op was the likely target for several suspects who came onto the property and shot one man and assaulted an-other, said Marks.

The two victims con-nected to the grow-op were taken to hospital and both will be OK, she said.

An older wooden house sits on the property, with a larger barn-like struc-ture behind it.

Several arrests were made in relation to the day’s events – some after a foot chase through Wal-nut Grove.

Fortunately, Police Dog Services and the Emer-gency Response Team were able to help in ap-prehending the suspects, said Marks.

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

The Township of Langley has won a court fi ght with the Metro Vancouver re-gional district, over who has fi nal say over development planning.

In a written decision issued on Wednes-day, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Neena Sharma dismissed a Metro application to

have the court overturn a Township deci-sion approving a “University District” on 376 acres at 7645 and 7679 Glover Rd., and 22423 Labonte Cres.

In these three properties, which lie on the west side of Glover Road opposite the university, 23.4 acres was to be used by Trinity to develop a university district, while another 48 acres was to remain pro-

tected farmland within the Agricultural Land Reserve.

Metro argued the municipality must abide by the new regional growth strategy while the Township contended a two-year transition period meant it was operating under the old regional plan — not the new one — and could legally make the land-use change.

“I agree with Langley,” Justice Sharma wrote in her March 12 decision.

The Sharma decision said the Met-ro Vancouver regional growth strategy, which aims to control urban growth, is only “guidelines expressing policy,” not enforceable laws.

Police secured a house and barn near 216 Street and Telegraph Trail Sunday after two people were shot and injured during what was likely an attempted grow rip at the licensed marijuana grow operation.

One man was killed Saturday afternoon as the result of a three-vehicle crash on Fraser Highway, just west of 244 Street. An eastbound pickup truck crossed the centre line, colliding with one westbound vehicle, which then struck another. The dead man was driving a small car (in front of the van, at left).

One man died and three oth-er people were injured in a multi-vehicle crash on the Fra-ser Highway in Langley on Sat-urday afternoon.

The crash occurred at 2:15 p.m. between 240 and 244 Streets, in front of the Leavitt Machinery business. It involved a pickup truck, a minivan and a Toyota Echo.

Langley RCMP said the pickup truck was eastbound on Fraser Highway, when it crossed the centre line and collided with a second vehicle, which then col-lided with a third vehicle.

One of the occupants of the passenger car died at the scene. Langley RCMP say he was a 52-year-old Langley res-ident.

Three other people, including the pickup driver, were taken

to hospital. Their injuries were not considered life-threaten-ing. Two were released from hospital Monday, with the van driver, a 33-year-old woman, remaining hospitalized.

Investigators are trying to determine why the pickup crossed the centre line.

They have ruled out alcohol as a factor and are considering the possibility of a pre-existing medical condition.

Police would like to speak to two females they believe wit-nessed the collision. The fi rst female, a Caucasian woman in her 30’s was a new customer at a nearby beauty salon, and didn’t remain to speak with investiga-tors. The second woman iden-tifi ed herself as a nurse or fi rst responder of some sort. She was assisting with fi rst aid immedi-ately after the collision and also didn’t stay to speak to offi cers.

One dies in crash


About 90 people spoke Wednesday night at the third and fi nal evening of public hear-ings on a proposal that would revive the stalled Coulter Berry project in Fort Langley.

The hearing was extended three times past its 11 p.m. scheduled close, to end at 12:39 a.m. on Thursday.

The last person to speak was developer Eric Woodward, who fi led a pro-Coulter Berry petition with 1,100 signatures.

A video posted online shows that when Councillor Bob Long interjected to com-plain that Woodward’s remarks did not di-rectly address the proposed bylaw changes under consideration, Woodward said he would not continue speaking and would fi le his written statement instead.

When Councillor Charlie Fox said pre-venting Woodward from speaking was an “embarrassment” to council, that com-ment led to a brief and loud exchange with Councillor David Davis. It ended with Davis donning a sleeping bonnet and an-nouncing “I’m ready for bed,” adding “this is what you get when you go past your bedtime, Charlie.”

Woodward then resumed speaking, say-ing the proposed bylaw changes, to rezone the site and permit construction to pro-ceed, were the only timely solution to a

“truly ridiculous situation.”“Despite what many of those opposed

to Coulter Berry seem to think of me, I am not an evil developer out to ruin the town,” Woodward said.

As before, opponents complained the building was too big while supporters said the three-storey project would revitalize downtown Fort Langley.

Work on the building was halted after opponents obtained a court order halting construction.

“It is a four-storey building dressed up as a three-storey building,” said opponent Kevin Thompson.

Another opponent, Barclay Neilson, said the building was simply not right” for the community.

“Everyone understands slight variations [in design limits] are OK,” Neilson said.

“This is not a slight variation.”Elizabeth Campbell Wride called the

three-storey mix of retail, offi ce and resi-dential where the old one-storey IGA store was located a “domineering building over-powering its surroundings.”

Michael O’Brien told council “this build-ing is not heritage, nor will it ever be.”

O’Brien went on to call the design “a pig with lipstick.”

Mark Morrison, who owns a building not far from the proposed Coulter Berry site,

said it was unfair to give another builder an exemption from size restrictions that he had to follow.

“I built my building under the guide-lines,” Morrison said.

John Klassen, who said he helped draft the heritage guidelines, suggested new-comers to Fort Langley were more likely to support Coulter Berry than long-term resi-dents like himself.

“They come to a village they like, then they set about changing it,” Klassen said.

“That is their right, but it’s amusing.”Supporter Antonia Henderson it was “lu-

dicrous” to suggest, as some speakers did, that a decision ought be delayed until the offi cial community plan for the area had updated.

“We would be sitting with a hole in our vil-lage for a very long time,” Henderson said.

Terry Radtke said the uproar over the council decision to approve a variation of heritage guidelines was puzzling, saying “we’re acting like this is the fi rst building to go to the board of variance [in Fort Lang-ley] and it’s not.”

Sarah McAdam said the village should accept change as something good and “get out of the village mindset.”

“We seem to be stuck on the idea that two fl oors is heritage, three fl oors is not,” said Grant Holcombe.

Marti Bombardier doubted a single build-ing could do the kind of damage oppo-nents have claimed.

“What is out there that is so evil that can destroy our town?” Bombardier said.

One of the last speakers was former Township mayor Kurt Alberts, who sug-gested the design could be tweaked to reduce the height of the corner facade on Glover and Mavis by about three feet.

“I call it Coulter Berry 2.1,” Alberts said, adding he ran his idea past the project architect, who told Alberts “he could live with it.”

Woodward also endorsed the proposal.Over all three nights of hearings in Town-

ship council chambers, more than 300 peo-ple spoke, about 60 per cent in support.

Shortly after 11 p.m. Wednesday, everyone who registered had been given a chance to speak once before council, and people were starting to make second appearances.

Coulter Berry and the unrelated but equal-ly controversial Brookswood community plan proposal are both scheduled come back to council for discussion and third reading on Monday, March 31, at 7 p.m. To accommo-date the expected crowd, the council meet-ing has been moved to the Langley Christian Life Assembly at 21277 56 Ave. which can ac-commodate 1,400 people.

Langley Township council heard from hundreds of people over the three days of the public hearing on the Coulter Berry building proposed for Fort Langley. The public hearing began on Monday night last week, and concluded at 12:39 a.m. Thursday, after the hearing was extended from the 11 p.m. concluding time. Council will consider third reading of bylaws to allow the project to proceed on Monday, March 31.



Police seized a fi rearm as part of the investi-gation. Langley RCMP will be recommending a number of charges for a 23-year-old female and a 29-year-old male, both from Surrey. They are cur-rently in custody and the Crown prosecutor will be seeking for them to stay in custody until their next court appearance. It is anticipated charges will be recommended for a third individual, a 22-year-old Surrey male. He is known to police.

Offi cers were back at the marijuana grow-op property Monday with a search warrant for the premises, to help gather further evidence, said Marks.

Metro, the judge said, “does not have superiority over land use management within the boundaries of a municipality.”

The decision is a victory for both the Township and the uni-versity, which wants to expand its campus by adding housing, a food store and coffee shop geared to the university com-munity.

The judge also upheld the related Township decision to create a residential subdivi-

sion on the Wall farm, which is south of the campus and isolat-ed from it by the Salmon River and railway tracks.

Plans call for 67 homes to be built in the midst of fi elds there, with a working farm sur-rounding them.

A third Township land use de-cision, allowing 21 lots on the Hendricks property at 44 Ave-nue and 216 Street, was also ap-proved by the judge.

In a written statement re-leased Thursday, Mayor Jack Froese welcomed the decision.

“We are pleased with the out-come of the case, and that the court has clarifi ed the issue of jurisdiction over land use plan-ning in Langley,” Froese said.

“The decision by the court will allow Trinity to grow and serve the needs of future students and the community as a whole,” Froese added, going on to say “development of a surrounding university district will put the Township on the map as a cen-tre for education and training.”

Metro Vancouver’s ability to enforce its regional growth strategy to limit urban sprawl is in doubt after the regional district lost a court decision that gives the Township of Langley ultimate au-thority over land development.

Wednesday’s ruling by B.C. Supreme Court Jus-tice Neena Sharma clears the way for the devel-opment of a large “university district” of homes and shops around Trinity Western University near Highway 1.

Metro went to court to force Langley to comply with the growth strategy, which aims to concen-trate urban-style growth in town centres and keep it out of farmland and rural areas.

The Township had rezoned the rural land in defi ance of the regional plan without getting a required two-thirds majority vote of the Metro board.

Langley Township council maintained it could legally make the land-use change without re-gional approval because of a two-year transition period following the growth strategy’s adoption in 2011.

The court agreed and went further, saying Met-ro’s powers don’t supercede a municipality’s au-thority within its own boundaries.

“Regional matters can only be those that re-

quire co-ordination or that affect more than one municipality,” Sharma ruled. “[Metro’s’] focus can be on the region’s Green Zone but that does not justify micro-management of member munici-palities’ decisions on individual developments.”

Metro board chair Greg Moore said the regional district is “very concerned” the ruling could set a precedent allowing other cities to build on farm-land or green space.

“We’re looking at all of our options right now,” he said when asked if an appeal is likely.

Moore said there’s little point having a growth strategy — even though it’s required by provincial law — if it’s not enforceable.

“For us, this isn’t about Langley, this is about the regional growth strategy we’ve all agreed to and what are the repercussions of that moving forward.”

All Metro municipalities unanimously adopted the growth strategy. It was the second such docu-ment, replacing the older Livable Region Strategic Plan.

“We think that the regional district has a sig-nifi cant role to play in controlling the land use around the region,” Moore said.

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese welcomed the ruling.

Do you agree with the court decision saying Langley Town-ship has rezoning authority, not Metro Vancouver?

Is a two-week school spring break long enough??of the week

Questionwe asked you:Last Week

A Supreme Court decision in favour of the Township of Langley, over its ability to rezone lands, is the correct one.

Justice Neena Sharma used some strong words in stating that it is up to locally-elected

politicians to rezone land, and that Metro Vancouver’s re-gional growth strategy is “guidelines, not policy.”

She went further by stating that Metro Vancouver is not accountable to taxpayers for land use decisions, by virtue of the fact that it is not an elected body.

“The GVRD directors are not chosen by the voters, who have no real power at the ballot box to infl uence the com-position of the board of directors,” she stated, in reaffi rm-ing the Township’s power and responsibility over land use.

Langley Township council chose to create a university dis-trict around Trinity Western University, which although lo-cated in an area which is primarily in the Agricultural Land Reserve, has existed as a post-secondary institution since 1962, long before the Agricultural Land Reserve was set up.

Metro Vancouver (legally known as the GVRD) should have no authority to stop this development on the basis of a regional growth strategy, which the judge notes is a long-term guideline, not an absolute parcel-by-parcel zon-ing document.

The judge also allowed the Hendricks development of 21 lots along 44 Avenue at 216 Street to proceed. That de-velopment plan calls for a large parcel of land behind the lots to be upgraded for better agricultural use. She also al-lowed the development of 67 lots on the Wall farm, which is a problematic land use — but again, has been approved by Township council.

Those in Langley who disagree with one or more of these zoning decisions have the opportunity to not vote for in-cumbent members of council in November — the proper approach to land use issues. That’s how they can hold de-cision-makers accountable — something that cannot be done with Metro Vancouver’s board.

The provincial push for a producer-pay re-cycling system is based on the concept of charging manufacturers whose products con-tribute to the waste stream, such as plastic packaging.

But the soon to become government-mandated program is going to penalize some unfairly, including citizens.

For instance, it will hit the newspaper industry with a 20 cent per kilogram cost for its “packaging” — the very paper the newspapers are printed on.

That vested interest aside, it’s debatable whether the new system will achieve its environmental goals, while simultaneously driving up costs for consumers.

Although the MMBC collection system may have bene-fi ts for communities that currently do not have adequate curbside recycling programs, it is not needed in Abbots-ford, where the city has been achieving high rates of waste diversion through its own recycling and compost collec-tion.

Consequently, this city will hold out on joining MMBC for the time being — and that comes at a cost, since MMBC will provide no subsidy for communities whose programs don’t conform to their standards.

Maintaining Abbotsford’s current program is good for the environment, and residents who receive curbside pickup of glass containers and other recyclables that MMBC would not collect.

Local consumers will effectively pay the cost of recycling twice, as producers build the price of the MMBC program into their products, and taxpayers foot the bill for curbside pickup.

Though MMBC recently provided exemptions for small businesses, it will also negatively impact local economic engines such as berry farming, where consumer prefer-ence drives the use of plastic clamshell containers for re-tail sales — dumping the cost onto farmers, and ultimate-ly, customers.

This is a program that needs to be put on hold and re-considered in its entirety.

End of Afghan missionhas meaning in LangleyOne week ago, the last contingent

of Canadian troops in Afghanistan lowered the fl ag for the fi nal time in Kabul. The Canadian mission to that troubled country is offi cially over.

It has lasted for almost 12 and one-half years, with the mission fi rst announced in November, 2001 by then-prime minister Jean Chretien. That was shortly after a number of countries went to war against the Taliban government there, following the 9/11 attacks. The Tali-ban had been aiding Al-Qaeda in its attacks on western institutions and governments.

Over the years, 40,000 Canadian troops served in Afghanistan — a staggering num-ber. Their more than 12 years of service is a record for any Canadian engagement in a war zone. The Second World War lasted for just under six years, and the First World War lasted for four and one-half years.

A total of 158 Canadians died as a di-rect result of the Canadian Forces engage-ment there. In addition, a diplomat and a journalist were killed as a result of the mission by the Canadian military. Two of those killed were from this community — Private Garrett Chidley, who grew up in Langley and graduated from Langley Sec-ondary; and Master Corporal Colin Bason, 28, a reservist with the Royal Westminster Regiment, who lived in Abbotsford but had many close connections with Aldergrove.

Master Cpl. Bason was killed on July 4, 2007 when his armoured vehicle hit a road-side bomb in the Kandahar district, where most of the Canadians died. His partner and mother of his daughter, Katrina Blain, is a former Times and Aldergrove Star em-

ployee and that death hit those of us who knew her hard.

Pte. Chidley died along with four others, including journalist Mi-chelle Lang of the Calgary Herald, on Dec. 31, 2009. The armoured ve-hicle they were riding in struck an improvised explosive device (IED) in Kandahar.

Pte. Chidley, who graduated from Langley Secondary in 2006, was a member of the 2nd Battalion Prin-cess Patricia’s Canadian Light In-

fantry.Both deaths were felt deeply by many

people in this community. They were felt personally by those who knew the two sol-diers. They were felt almost as deeply by those who support the Canadian military, which is probably about 90 per cent of the population of Langley. They support the troops even if they disagreed with sending soldiers there, because Canada’s military are highly-regarded by most Canadians. Those who doubt that need to attend a Re-membrance Day service.

Two people who felt the deaths of the Langley soldiers deeply were brother and sister Michael and Elizabeth Pratt. Part of their connection was being close in age; part was personal. Elizabeth went to school with Pte. Chidley’s younger brother Joe at Brookswood Secondary.

They started Langley Youth For the Fall-en, and with support from many people, created a large memorial tree planting and walk at the Derek Doubleday Arboretum, west of Langley Airport.

The tree walk has proven to be a popular destination.

Women have been flying for a long timeEditor: The articles by Monique Tamminga and

Alyssa O’Dell (The Times, March 11) on the Girls Fly Too event at the Langley Airport brought the same smiles back that I had out at the airport.

I’ve been a licensed commercial pilot since the 1970s, when wom-en pilots were very rare and treated poorly in the industry. But wait! What about the Women’s Air Force Service pilots of the Second World War, whot fl ew every thing from P-38 Lightnings to the B-29.

I heard of one instance where a young lady had to study the manuals over-night, since she had to deliv-

er an unfamiliar aircraft in the morning. Women toured U.S. bases in a B-29 to show male pilots that the bomber could be fl own safely. The same went for British ladies delivering Spitfi res and Halifax bombers

OK, I feel better now. Of course, it was the WestJet passenger’s note that set me off.

NEAL DE GEUS,LANGLEY

No good reason given for changes

Bitterness does not bode well

Council meeting was quite a show

Editor: The Times’ latest coverage on the Coulter Berry saga was disappointing in its lack of any insight into the more profound issues underlying the community dispute.

The underlying issues are not the format or appearance of the building, or the speculated benefi ts (or otherwise) to Fort Langley. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on those.

No, the real issues are the proposed amendments and changes to the Offi cial Community Plan and Heritage Guidelines, and why those amendments should be con-sidered by council.

Despite the mayor’s exhortation to speakers at the pub-lic hearing to focus on the agenda topic, viz. “Should the OCP and guidelines be amended to permit this develop-ment,” most of the supporters of the project chose to re-iterate what would be built, and who would build it. The message was similar: the building was unique, LEED cer-tifi ed, attractive, and so on.

These may well be so, but are of little value in explain-ing exactly why the existing restrictions and guidelines should be amended. We already know the answer to the question of what (Hint: the answer is — this building). But why?

I have yet to hear a coherent argument as to why the OCP and guidelines should be amended (other than the obvious one — it serves the need of the developer).

Unfortunately, that’s not an adequate answer, and coun-cil cannot be fool us into thinking it is. It’s a circular ar-gument, and reminiscent of the Monty Python “I have a theory, which is mine and belongs to me” skit:

“I’d like you to relax the restrictions so I can build my building”

“Yes, but why do you want us to relax the restrictions?”“So I can build my building”“Yes, but why do you want us to relax the restrictions so

you can build your building?”“Well, it’s a very nice building”“ Yes, but why...” etc.(repeat, ad nauseum)In the absence of an answer to this question of why, the

only rational conclusion one can draw is that there is no defensible reason for council to amend the OCP and guide-lines (other than the obvious one — so that the building can be built). Truly, it is reductio ad absurdum.

ALISTER FRAYNE,LANGLEY

Editor: I am a longtime resident of Fort Langley, who with my brother George, established a medical practice in the village in the late 1950s. I am appalled by the anger, hostility and rancour which has been engendered over the proposed Coulter Berry building. The unkind bitterness exhibited does not bode well for the village. This hostility and malice appears to stem mainly from those fl ashing “yellow hands.” It does little toward forwarding their argu-ment and only furthers the split.

At one time, Fort Langley was a “pass through” for those heading for the Albion Ferry and held little or no inter-est. Even the Fort was only one building used for storage. A large lumber mill was the mainstay for the village All of that has changed, and changed very much for the better.

On retiring we left for other climes, always having a han-kering to return to this unique place we called home. Af-ter 30 years, we have returned and now fi nd not a small, tired hamlet but a vibrant, thriving, bedroom community for Vancouver, with dwellings in the million-dollar mark.

Fort Langley has become a destination point of consider-able interest with a refurbished Fort back to its original state, a Cranberry Festival and notable shops.

The Coulter Berry complex and the vision of this devel-oper is something for which to be thankful. Some may prefer a smaller scale but at this stage it looks as though we have only two choices, as a two-storey building is not an option.

One, council rejects this application and our beauti-ful village is left with the ‘Heritage Hole’ for some con-siderable time, or alternatively we accept with grace and gratitude this outstanding LEED gold standard building, and proceed accordingly.

Oh by the way, it is doubtful that this building will block out the sun.

Please stop the animus.

M. NEILSON,LANGLEY

Editor: It was a shoot (shout) out at the Fraser River Pre-sentation Corral.

The wild west returned at high midnight on Wednesday, March 12. Only Gary Cooper was missing.

When, at the end of well-ordered presentations, the public hearing on the proposed Coulter Berry building rezoning application and heritage alteration plan was nearing the end, the skies opened to unleash a torrent of rhetoric involving the proponent, his coach, three mem-

bers of council and members of the audience. All this took place in spite of the valiant efforts of the mayor to restore some semblance of order, Years of experience in crowd control in the police force were of little avail to the frus-trated mayor.

Who needs the Circque de Soleil when we have our Langley public hearings?

BOB BLACKHALL,LANGLEY

Editor: Are some people that insensitive to other spe-cies’ lives that they would drive over a dead animal? What is wrong with these people’s thinking and attitudes? An animal which appears to be a rabbit was hit early Thurs-day morning before 8:30 .m., and has been fl attened by re-peated motorists driving over his or her dead body. Would this occur if the dead body was someone’s cat?

This occurred within half a block of Willoughby Elemen-tary on 80 Avenue, a site notorious for callous driving be-haviour. Are some people so uncaring or arrogant, or both, to believe that humans are the only species on earth who values their lives?

It’s springtime and wildlife activity will increase. Please drive with caution, particularly at dawn and dusk when wildlife may be crossing roads in developing and rural ar-eas.

There is help for wounded warriors — Linford

From Page 8and it is a very good place to go to remember the sacrifi ces of those who fell, and also those who were wounded in Afghanistan. It will be a living memorial to them which will endure for many years — much as several of the the trees planted after the First World War at signifi cant loca-tions in Langley survive today.

As the soldiers’ time in Af-ghanistan ends, we also need to remember the needs of those who were wounded, physically and mentally, in that confl ict. Langley Rotary Club heard from one of them, retired Lieut.-Col. Chris Linford, on March 6. He and his wife Kathryn are na-tional ambassadors for Wound-ed Warriors Canada, and they gave an inspiring and personal talk about the struggle he had with Post Traumatic Stress Dis-order, how he was helped, and how important it is to continue to offer help.

The club will be raising funds for Wounded Warriors Canada this year, and it is a very worth-while cause.

FRANK BUCHOLTZTimes Reporter

Chris Linford can easily identify two incidents where his involve-ment in war-torn parts of the world defi nitely had a deep and lasting effect on his mental health and wellbeing.

Linford, who recently retired with the rank of Lieutenant-Colo-nel, struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for almost 10 years before admitting it even existed to his wife, children and superiors. It recurred with a sud-denness when he was stationed in Kandahar.

Linford was a nurse and worked in fi eld hospitals in a number of war zones — the Persian Gulf War in 1991, Rwanada in 1994 and Af-ghanistan in 2007.

He says he did get help while in the military and he encourages soldiers who are struggling with PTSD to ask for help while still a part of the Forces. But he ac-knowledges that it is very diffi cult to ask for that help.

He and his wife Kathryn, who has been a key part of his recov-ery, are the national ambassadors for Wounded Warriors Canada. They spoke to the Langley Rotary Club on Thursday, March 6. The club will be raising funds for their organization throughout 2014.

“This is an uncomfortable sub-ject,” he said. “PTSD is a very com-plex injury, which often leads to misinformation and stereotyp-ing.”

He believes it struck him when he was sent to Rwanda, as the

genocide which took one mil-lion lives was taking place. He was one of about 200 Canadian military members sent on very short notice to set up clinics to help treat cholera among ref-ugees.

“I know for sure that is where I got PTSD,” he said. “Two inci-dents hurt me to my core.”

One involved a man lying in the middle of a road, who had been run over and was severe-ly injured. As medics tried to help lift him off the road, he died. Two more badly-injured people were lying in the grass, but the Canadians were un-able to help them.

The other involved a baby, who died during a test he was conducting.

“I harboured feelings of fail-ure for a long time. It hurt me deeply.”

He did not discuss his dis-tress with anyone, but his wife and family knew that some-thing was eating at him.

“His anger would rise and I avoided these situations as best as I could,” his wife Kath-ryn said.

By 2004, he was unable to sleep at night and he fi nally saw the base surgeon, and got help the fi rst time he asked.

“I did not lose my career,” as he had feared.

Within a year, he felt much better. But then he was sent to Afghani-stan, to eventually run a hospital in Kandahar. The PTSD returned. He again hid it from his fellow military

members, because he wanted to fi nish his tour of duty.

“I knew I would ask for help as soon as I got home.”

This time, Kathryn was even more involved and also received help for her exposure to Chris’ PTSD.

He took part in many programs to help him deal with it, and was introduced to Wounded Warriors Canada. He also wrote a book, Warrior Rising, which was a signif-icant part of his therapy.

“It is possible to get better and live a normal life,” he said.

Retired Canadian Lieut-Col. Chris Linford and his wife Kathryn are the na-tional ambassadors for Wounded Warriors Canada. Chris Linford has written the book Warrior Rising, outlining how he has dealt with post-traumatic stress disorder. They spoke to the Langley Rotary Club on Thursday, March 6.

SHEILA REYNOLDSBlack Press

A Surrey police of-fi cer whose youth anti-bullying presen-tations have earned praise from coast to coast, says harassment he’s faced at work has forced him to resign from the RCMP.

In late 2012, Tad Milmine, who is gay and was ostracized as a teen, began sharing his story with youth. It was the suicide of Ontario teen Jamie Hubley, a gay 15-year-old who battled years of bullying and de-pression, that sparked Milmine to take action. The former RCMP offi -cer knew he had to use his own experiences to help give youth hope.

He created a website (www.bul ly ingend-shere.ca) and began giving school talks, on his days off and at his own expense, telling kids how he overcame adversity and achieved his dream of becoming a cop. His talks were an immediate hit, and to date he’s spoken to about 60,000 youth and received more than 9,000 emails through his website. He spoke

to thousands of Lang-ley high school stu-dents a few months ago at the Langley Events Centre.

The Surrey Leader newspaper award-ed him a Community Leader Award in 2013 for his volunteer work.

Initially, he says, his superiors supported, and even promoted, his anti-bullying work. But about a year ago, Milmine felt things starting to go sideways.

It began, he says, shortly after he trans-ferred from Surrey RCMP to the B.C. RCMP unit. It was early 2013 that he was sent to an RCMP psychologist – a move he found odd. He attended the set

appointment, the pur-pose of which was nev-er made clear, passed with “fl ying colours” and continued his an-ti-bullying work out-side work hours.

By May, he was of-fered a full-time gig working in an anti-bul-lying role within the RCMP. But there would have to be changes, due to strict policies. Milmine would no longer be allowed to operate his website or support any anti-bul-lying initiatives out-side the RCMP, and the email interactions with youth — some of which had proven vital — would be monitored by several other peo-ple.

Milmine says he re-spectfully declined.

“I didn’t create Bully-ing Ends Here so that I could have an offi ce job,” he says. “I did this so that I could have a connection with youth. It’s nothing to do with policing, I’m just a fel-low human that want-ed to let youth know they’re not alone.”

He went back to reg-ular police duty, but in the months that fol-lowed, he says he faced a barrage of road blocks when it came to his outside youth work, in-cluding warnings and an ethics complaint that his actions con-travened RCMP policy which stated that such external activities be pre-approved by hu-man resources.

Milmine has been on stress leave since last November, but has

continued his presen-tations with the bless-ing of his doctor.

The confl ict with the RCMP came to a head on Thursday, March 6, when he says his bosses sat him down and told him he had to cease his talks and involvement with Bul-lying Ends Here until he had the requisite RCMP permission. There was no indica-tion how long the pro-cess would take.

“I get, on average, 30 to 100 emails every single day from youth. I can’t ignore them,” said Milmine, adding he already has presen-tations booked across Canada through June.

“I was going to be disciplined in one way or another,” he says. “I can only guess it would have been code of conduct and as a po-lice offi cer, that’s the last thing you want. I don’t want something like that being on my record.”

Instead, he resigned.In a statement, RCMP

spokesman Sgt. Rob Vermeulen denied Milmine was forced out. In fact, he said, the force has sup-ported him fully and was “shocked and dis-appointed” with his unexpected resigna-tion while the policy confl icts were being worked out.

“While we were very supportive of Tad’s work, the RCMP does have clear policies and guidelines with respect to fi nancial transpar-ency and accountabil-

ity in secondary em-ployment that applies to all employees. These policies are in place to protect both the orga-nization and its mem-bers,” said Vermeulen, noting there are strict confl ict of interest guidelines about the solicitation of funds, the image and uniform of the RCMP and the perception the RCMP is involved in soliciting funds.

“While we respect Tad’s passion, and have made every effort to accommodate him, we had also hoped that Tad would work with us to fi nd the balance between his outreach efforts and the oper-ational needs of his detachment, regular assigned duties and adherence to HR poli-cies.”

Milmine says he does not charge for his pre-sentations, does not wear his uniform and doesn’t mention the RCMP, only that he’s a police offi cer. Though he’s upset about his resignation, he holds no grudge.

“I’m very proud to say I was a Mountie, proud of the fact they gave me the opportunity to be a police offi cer. It’s just a shame that it’s ending this way.”

But with the RCMP door closing, another has already opened. Milmine has taken a position with the Cal-gary Police Services, which is well aware of his anti-bullying ef-forts. He leaves Surrey this week.

Can’t make it? Phone for an alternate time– we’d love to show you around!

Along with spring cleaning and outdoor chores, there’s another common ritual this time of year that shouldn’t be neglected – taking your car in for a tune-up.

For those unsure of where to bring their vehicle for seasonal maintenance , Bud-get Brake & Muffler Auto Centres in Langley City has been providing top-notch service for the past 25 years.

From brake repair, align-ments, preventative mainte-nance, such as fluid flushes and tire rotation, to getting your air conditioning sys-tem in tip-top shape for spring, this auto repair shop – a franchise with 32 service facilities throughout B.C. and Alberta – is a leader in the automotive industry.

“We continue to maintain this position by providing an outstanding level of cus-

tomer service and excellence,” said Andy Nagra, who took ownership of 5923 200 St. location just over three years ago.

Andy and his friendly/knowledgeable team are committed to up-holding a pledge of honesty, reliability and affordability for every job, big or small.

“We reflect the honesty and trust you remember from the old-fashioned neighbourhood auto repair shop,” he said matter-of-factly.

Having been a popular destination for motorists for a quarter of a century and counting, many who come to Budget Brake & Muffler Auto Centres are third-gen-

eration customers, according to Andy.

the children/grandchildren of those who came here for servicing back when we first opened. It’s really nice to see that kind of loyalty.”

For Andy, the customer interaction and being able to help his customers save time and money is what he enjoys most about his job.

“I’ve gotten to know so many great peo-ple working here – people who have be-come like family. And I’m kind of like their family doctor, except I treat their vehicle.”

While the customer service is undeni-ably part of Budget Brake & Muffler Auto Centres’ winning formula, it’s the afford-ability and reliability that has put this auto shop on the map and in the heart of its customers.

“We provide great service, but we are also very honest and reliable,” noted Andy. “At the end of the day we will tell our cus-tomer what their vehicle needs and never pressure them – We are very straight for-

ward with what needs to be done and what can be held off.”

Nowadays, Andy has noticed many of the younger generation will purchase a brand new car every five years – an exu-berant cost he says is unnecessary and hard on the environment.

“Just because your warranty is over and it has a few miles on it, doesn’t mean your car is useless and should be discarded,” said Andy, also noting that most repairs at his shop are covered by a 90-day/6000 ki-lometre parts and labour warranty (some conditions apply).

“By taking care of your car and bringing it in for regular servicing, you can extend the life of your car for years to come.”

Starting the spring cleaning

By Kerry Vital

Spring has arrived, and the time-honoured tradition of spring cleaning can begin. Th e best place to start might be your closet. If you’re not sure where to start, having a professional come in and take a look might be a good option.

“We see our closet every day and it can be overwhelming,” says Michelle Carnaby, manager

A good starting place when doing a spring decluttering is

to take a good look at your closets and other storage

systems.

Taking home a little golden statue isn’t just for Oscar winners. On Feb. 1, British Columbia’s best residential builders, renovators, designers and marketers were honoured with their own golden prizes at the Georgie Awards.

Th e Georgie Awards are presented by the

Canadian Home Builders’ Association of BC, and recognize the best of the best in B.C.’s residential home construction industry.

“Th e excellent work from the winners – and indeed all the fi nalists – demonstrates that B.C. is truly the leader when it comes to innovative design and quality construction,” says CHBA BC President Rob Capar.

Th is year’s gala ceremony took place at the Vancouver Convention Centre West, emceed by broadcaster Wayne Cox.

Among this year’s big winners was Portrait Homes, who took home fi ve awards.

“We have an incredibly talented team that design and build great homes in fantastic

communities,” says Robert Grimm, principal at Portrait. “I couldn’t be more proud of our team for their continued dedication and commitment to being the best they can be!”

Portrait was honoured with the Customer Choice Georgie Awards, as well as the awards for Single Family Production Home Builder of the Year and Residential Community of the Year and Best Landscape Design for Hampstead in Maple Ridge.

“Potential home owners can be confi dent in purchasing a Portrait home,” says Grimm. “We are dedicated to looking aft er our home owners

Like clothing, decor is subject to trends. Th is spring, old is new again and hot new colours are coming to the forefront.

“One of the hot colours this year is called Rare Orchid,” says Sheryn Calvert of Calvert Design Studio. “It’s a purple-pink colour that we’re also seeing in fashion.”

Calvert notes that fashion is always a big inspiration for home decor, whether it’s colours or fabrics.

“Fashion is ahead of us,” she says. “We look to them to see what’s coming up.”

Sarah Antonich of Beyond Beige Interior Design is also seeing shades of pink and orchid, along with other fl oral colours. However, these colours aren’t just for little girls; shades of pink can be easily incorporated into adult furnishings as well, or perhaps via a piece of art or other wall decor item.

Another currently trend is all shades of blue, especially navy. Homeowners can incorporate it into their home with accents such as toss pillows.

“It’s easy to incorporate trends with small items,” says Calvert. “You don’t have to redo everything. Changing up a few accessories is not that costly.”

Springing forward with new decor

The Georgie Awards are presented by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association. Many fi rst-time winners took home the golden statue this year at the gala ceremony, which honoured the best in both new home construction and renovations.

Your Space. Your Style. Your Way.

It's also the best way to add a pop of colour if you're not sure of how it will look. Changing a pillow or drapery can be a lot less expensive than purchasing a brand-new chair or sofa in the season's latest colour that may no longer be popular in a year."Switching out toss cushions and throws to a bright vibrant colour is a simple and cost-eff ective way to brighten up your space," says Antonich. "Wallpaper is also an instant game changer."Wallpaper has come a long way since the fussy fl orals and patterns everyone shud-ders at the thought of. Now, you'll fi nd plenty of options for any taste, from muted stripes to bold patterns and textures.When it comes to decor, old textures are new again."We've come full circle with 60s Mod textures," says Calvert. "It's coming back in a big way."She's also seeing a return to velvet, though this one is diff erent than the ones many saw growing up."It's a velvet with no sheen, sort of a matte fi nish," she says. "We're also seeing more sophisticated fabrics like wools and other suiting fabrics."Patterns are also going back in time, with herringbone showing up in many ap-plications, including fl ooring, fabrics and stone, among others."We're still seeing a lot of eclectic design," says Antonich. "A mix of modern, tradi-tional and rustic with an international fl air.""We're also seeing big architectural lights, like pendant lights," says Calvert.

"Th ey're simple, refi ned and not fussy."Even the metals used in home decor are changing."Copper and brass metals are coming back," Calvert says. "But you have to be really careful with that. You don't want to put in brass faucets in the kitchen for example. You have to use them in a refi ned, very selective way."She recommends adding the metals as an accent on a piece of furniture. She re-cently saw a copper sink that she describes as "stunning" as well as a copper hood fan."You wouldn't do the whole house," she says. "It's also a more subdued metal than in the past. It's more of a soft matte brass rather than the shiny one we had before."Antonich is also seeing a return to old-fashioned metals such as copper, gold and rose gold."Gold hardware in the kitchen including hood fans" is something new for spring, she says.In the bedroom, Antonich suggest crisp white linens to enhance the airy feeling of a room that should be made for relaxation.Decluttering is the best way to renew your home for spring, Calvert says."Spring is about rebirth and renewal," she says. "A William Morris quote that I like is 'Have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful and believe to be beautiful.' I think that says it all. You want your home to be a refuge."

for Stor-More Closet and Blinds. "You may want to close the doors and just ignore it. Some-times getting a fresh set of eyes is a good thing."She suggests emptying the closet completely and taking a look at everything you've pulled out of it."If you haven't worn it in 12 months, you're not going to wear it," Carnaby says. "People can be sentimental about their clothes, but if you have a fresh new organizer, why would you put back something you don't use?"Organizing a closet, or indeed almost anywhere in the home, is about more than functional-ity. Closet storage has come a long way from the plain white metal shelving and plastic boxes that many grew up with. Now doors, baskets, shelving, rods and racks are all available in a variety of fi nishes and colors. You can even fi nd dedicated racks for ties, belts, pants and more. Shoe collectors can keep their favourite and most beautiful pairs on display while keeping the others tidied away."You can also fi nd pull-out laundry hampers, for example," says Carnaby. "It's possible to organize almost anything."However, just because something looks good doesn't mean it will work for everyone."Sometimes something that looks pretty isn't necessarily the most functional," says Carnaby. "If you have 20 pairs of shoes, you don't want storage for only 10. You need to have a game plan for what you're storing."Storage is also about more than just clothing and shoes. Carnaby says that she oft en sees people requesting storage for craft ing materials, home decor such as holiday decora-tions, and wrapping paper and bows."A professional can take your ideas and work with them," says Carnaby. "Th ere are so many things you can do with a closet now."Another benefi t of having a professionally organized closet is being able to get rid of furniture pieces that can clutter a room by installing drawers and shelving in the closet itself instead of having to store clothing and other items in a chest of drawers."Th e possibilities are endless," Carnaby says.

Shoe racks and tie racks are just two of the op-tions for modern storage solutions. Built-in cabi-netry and shelving can go a long way towards keeping your space free of clutter.Photos submitted by Stor-More Closet and Blinds

One of the 25 sports that will be on display at the Langley 2014 Seniors Games is September is Carpet Bowl-ing.

Carpet Bowling is a team game with two , three or four persons on each team. The object of the game is for each team member to gently roll special biased bowling balls down a 30 ft. long carpet, so that they stop as close as possible to the small white ball called the jack, the team who get the closest to the jack scores points. Because the bowls are weighted on one side, the game is closer to curl-ing than standard bowling as the bowlers learn the knack of curving the ball around obstacles.

Sounds pretty simple doesn’t it? Rosa Barkley, a member of the car-pet bowling crew at the Langley Se-niors Centre will tell you it takes a while and some patience to get the hang of the sport.

“I have been volunteering at the LSRS for twenty years,” says Rosa proudly. “I started carpet bowl-ing with my husband and in 1998 Langley sent a team to the Senior’s Games in Port Alberni. In 2000 we went to the Games in Kelowna but it’s been a few years since we quali-fi ed again. We hope to make it to the Games again this year since they are right here in our home town.”

The Langley 2014 Seniors Games will be held in Langley City and Langley Township from September 9th. to 13th. Langley is part of the Fraser Valley Region 3 team that will be competing with over 4000 senior athletes from around the province. During the next few months, Re-

gional qualifying meets and com-petitions in all sports will be held to determine which teams will travel to the Games.

“It’s not that we haven’t tried to qualify a lawn bowling team each year,” explains Rosa, “the sport has become very popular and there are many teams competing and the competition gets pretty tough.”

“We bowl twice a week, Tuesday

and Thursday afternoon starting at 1PM all year round and we get be-tween fi fteen and nineteen people out most days. So we may even have more than one team from our own group that wants to qualify for the games.”

“If that’s the case then we would have to have our own play downs here to see which team would move on. The next step would be to send

that team to the Region 3 playoff in Surrey in May. If we were successful there then it’s on to the Games in Langley in September.”

“Our weekly events are not as competitive as the Games will be so those that want to try and qualify have to take it seriously. You have to set your heart on it, practice and commit your time. Normally we don’t always bowl with the same members but in this case the team will have to stay together and work together.”

“We don’t always stick exactly to the rules in our recreational play but the team that is trying to qualify will have to make sure they are deliver-ing the bowls from the right spot and make sure they have the proper etiquette. At the Games they have offi cials and referees so we have to be on our toes”

“If our team makes it to the Games, then they have to be prepared for four very busy days. There is not just the bowling , but social events each night and breakfasts and dinners. It will be an advantage for a Langley team as that means no travel.”

At 86 years old, Rosa explains that travel is a problem. “We would like to attend more invitations from other centers throughout the year but we don’t always have someone willing to drive to Coquitlam or Richmond so we don’t always get the outside competition.”

The sport is a great source of physical activity. The bowlers keep limber by stretching and bending but it is not strenuous. Some play with canes and some have trouble

Vicki Sullivan only took up the sport six months ago. “I attend-ed an introduction session here at the Senior’s Centre and happened to listen to Rosa explain about the carpet bowling. I decided to give it a try and I have enjoyed it right from the start. We have lots of laughs,

we have all become friends and it’s great exercise and gets you out of the house.”

Margaret Coleman agrees. “I have been carpet bowling for a long time,” Margaret smiles, “and I can still re-call going to the Games in Kelowna and marching into the stadium for the opening ceremonies behind the Boy Scouts carrying the fl ags. Once we heard the roar of the crowd we thought we were pretty special.”

Rosa agrees. “When we were in Port Alberni, we met so many new people, exchanged badges and pins and we made some great memo-ries. When you get to spend four full days with your team, you get to know them so much better as well. It’s all very exciting.”

For the Langley 2014 games the Carpet Bowling will qualify men and women 55+ in three different events. There will be, (a) one team of four, (b) one team of three and (c) one pair.

The BC Seniors Games is an an-nual multi-sport competition cele-brating active, healthy seniors 55+. The Langley 2014 BC Seniors Games Society is the Host Society respon-sible for planning and delivering the Games led by a Volunteer Board of Directors.

Milt Kruger and Michael Jackstien are the President and Vice-Presi-dent of the Langley 2014 BC Seniors Games. “We are very proud that Langley was selected as the site for this year’s Games,” says Milt. “We are have already been working hard to build our organizing team, set up our offi ces and get open for busi-ness.”

Recently. the Games organizers

held a very successful Open House at the LSRS and signed up many new volunteers.

“We will need several more volun-teers now to help during the lead up to the games, as well as hundreds of volunteers as we get closer to the actual events,” Michael. “ We are expecting over 4000,athletes from around the Province and we will need over 2000 volunteers to man-age the event. These volunteers will be required in virtually every aspect of delivery of the Games – areas such as medical, security, visitor hosts, accreditation, registration and results, and much more. Right now, games awareness is what we are striving for. Langley always comes through so we are not wor-ried about fi nding volunteers.”

BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

It will be a show 30 years in the making.

Syl Thompson’s A Night of Bowie featuring Ground Con-trol is set to touch down at Fort Langley’s Chief Sepass Theatre on Friday, March 28.

And among the musicians hitting the stage that night will be a pair of familiar fac-es — one, audiences may con-nect with because of its simi-larity to British pop icon David Bowie; the other, because it belongs to a long-time neigh-bour — Fort Langley’s John Gilliat.

Gilliat, who plays lead guitar for Ground Control, is one of three original members of the band, which started out in the early 1980s under the name Major Tom.

Soon after he graduat-ed from high school, Gilliat joined Thompson, bassist Rob Begg — and the rest of the band as it existed back then — and began touring across Canada and into the U.S.

“Back in the ’80s, club bands were spectacular.

“It was a real production,” said Gilliat.

Everyone hauled tons of gear from town to town and fan-cy lighting and pyrotechnics were a staple.

He laughs as he recalls rac-ing around on stage with his wireless electric guitar.

They had a lot of fun in those days — rocking out to the same songs the Thin White Duke himself was performing at the time — but, unlike Bow-ie, they defi nitely weren’t get-ting rich, Gilliat chuckles.

“There wasn’t a lot of mon-ey in tribute bands unless you were in Vegas,” he said.

After a couple years, the band members went their separate ways.

Gilliat traded his electric gui-

tar for an acoustic model and began to perform at corporate events, honing his trademark “fi ery rumba fl amenco” style while earning a relatively steady paycheque.

When it comes to music, “I’m sort of a hired gun,” said Gilliat.

In addition to his live per-formances, over the past 30 years, Gilliat’s music has been used in radio, documentaries, television and fi lms. He’s also given lessons and still has an online guitar school.

“That’s the thing about be-ing a musician — you have to do everything,” he said.

But with the proliferation of casinos in Canada — par-ticularly in B.C. and Alberta — over the past several years, the musicians saw an oppor-tunity to reunite and hit the road once again.

In fact, Begg had been bug-ging Thompson for about a year to put the band back to-gether, said Gilliat. Finally, the singer relented.

With Thompson, Begg and Gilliat on board, the search was on for four more musi-cians to round out the new tribute band.

Ground Control features Graham Howell on saxophone, Mark Gawthrop, keyboards, Rob Gawthrop, synthesizer and Sean Lang on drums.

“They’re all ’80s guys, except the drummer,” said Gilliat.

It takes a younger guy to be able to pound away on the drums for a couple of hours at a time, he laughed.

The Fort Langley show will be the second of the band’s upcoming tour, based on Bow-ie’s Serious Moonlight show from 1983.

“Most of the music (we play) are the classics everyone knows — like Space Oddity and Rebel Rebel,” he said.

JOHN GILLIAT IS BRINGING A NIGHT OF BOWIE TO

FORT LANGLEY AS SYL THOMPSON AND GROUND CONTROL GET SET TO LAND AT

CHIEF SEPASS THEATRE


The BC Government is proposing to offl oad the province’s world-class recycling programs, run by local municipalities, to an association led by big multi-national corporations. The idea is that we’ll get a better, more effi cient program that costs taxpayers less.

Unfortunately, what we’ll really end up with is anyone’s guess.

The association isn’t guaranteeing that we’ll get a better program, or even one as good as the current Blue Box program already in place. Since the association is led by big businesses outside of BC, many of whom are not even headquartered in Canada, one could presume that profi ts will come before environmental stewardship. They usually do. They also won’t guarantee that there won’t be any job cuts here in BC.

And how is this supposed to make things better for BC?

Currently, BC homeowners only pay, on average, $35 a year for curbside recycling. Under the proposed regime, you’ll pay more. Every time you bring home a pizza, buy toilet paper,

or pretty much anything else that comes in a package, businesses will be passing their increased costs on to you.

How much more? Well, nobody’s saying.

Here’s the only thing anyone does know: we already have a Blue Box program that works, is effi cient, managed locally and puts the BC environment fi rst. So why is the BC government fl ipping a coin, bringing in a questionable recycling program that some of our local elected offi cials are already calling a “scam?”

It’s time to contact Premier Clark and ask her.

What’s going on here?

“The nice thing about this show that we didn’t do before is we have a VJ.

“There are videos playing on massive screens behind us and it adds another dimension.”

It doesn’t hurt that Bowie is back in the pub-lic eye, with a new album — The Next Day — re-leased last year, said Gilliat.

“It works well for a tribute band because it cre-ates buzz, the songs are playing on the radio. It’s good timing for us.”

Gilliat’s timing was right on the mark last year, too, when he actually met David Bowie at a Van-couver restaurant where Gilliat often played.

He was called over to the singer’s table at Fran-cesco’s where he’d been performing his fl amenco act.

“A waiter told me, ‘there’s a guitar player here and he’d like to meet you,’” said Gilliat.

He approached the table and was greeted by a man in a dark, curly wig and a hat.

“He said, ‘Hi, I’m David Bowie’ and shook my hand. ‘I like your guitar playing,’” Gilliat recalled.

The men chatted for about 25 minutes, but Gil-liat wasn’t sure whether he was actually in the presence of the famous musician or if someone was having a laugh at his expense.

“The next day, I Googled him and realized it re-ally was him.”

As it turned out, Bowie was, in fact, in Vancou-ver at the time, said Gilliat.

The guitarist never mentioned the tribute band during the conversation, but added he might have if he’d known for certain it was Bowie.

Ground Control may cross the Brit’s radar yet. “Whenever we play Bowie’s music, we fi ll out a

form and the royalties go to Bowie,” said Gilliat.“He makes money every time we play.”A Night of Bowie hits the stage at Chief Sepass

Theatre, 9096 Trattle St. on Friday, March 28 at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $30 in advance; $35 at the door. They’re available online at www.anightofbowie.com or in person at Long & McQuade Music in Langley and Abbotsford, Vivid Hair Boutique, #190-8700 200 St. Langley or Wendel’s Bookstore and Café, 9233 Glover Rd. Fort Langley

The issues of racism, hate, and discrimination have the potential to be hurtful and emotionally traumatic.

Abbotsford Community Ser-vices along with four Kwantlen Bachelor in Science of Nursing students have organized an event in Langley to raise aware-ness of racism and hate.

The goal is to create a space that allows for better under-standing despite people’s differ-

ences and to raise awareness, so that those who participate will come away with a great-er understanding of personal struggle.

The hope is that this event will create dialogue as well as help prevent the bullying and discrimination that can occur.

All community members are invited to the event, called OARH Open Mic Night: A Night to End Racism and Hate. Partic-

ipants will hear about the vari-ous experiences of people who have been victimized as well as those who wish to raise aware-ness of the issue through poet-ry, music and stories.

What: OARH Open Mic Night: A Night to End Racism and Hate

When: Thursday, March 20, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Where: McBurney Coffee and Tea House, 20504 Fraser Hwy.

Call: 604-514-1144

John Gilliat has been making a living performing fl amenco and rumba at corporate gigs for the past couple of decades. But recently, the Fort Langley guitarist rejoined his bandmates from the ’80s as they relaunched Major Tom, their David Bowie trib-ute band, under the name Ground Control.

Back in the day (not really all that long ago) I used to be quite the social butterfl y.

My little wings were always a fl utter from one party or gathering to the next — time, bills and babysitters were not an issue.

However, those days are now long gone — as are many of the friendships formed during that fun and ‘carefree’ chapter of my life.

While some have stuck around, the visits and phone calls are few and far between.

I take 100 per cent of the blame.

It was around six years ago — when I was newly preg-nant with my oldest daugh-ter, Molly – that I traded in my delicate wings for some dependable stretchy pants. Sometime during this swap, I also became (dare I say it) a pretty bad friend.

I became notorious for breaking plans at the last minute, ignoring incoming calls and zoning out, mid-con-versation during a pal’s crisis.

Exhausted, bloated and highly hormonal — or irra-tional, as my husband would tell you (in my defense I re-ally needed a tomato, even if the roads were blanketed in snow), I began opting for qui-et evenings at home with a

bag of chips, slippers and my trusty PVR.

The idea of wearing any-thing other than pyjamas and a scrunchy (yes, I actually still own one of those) after 6 p.m. just seemed like way too much effort.

“Don’t worry, I’ll have more energy and we’ll do things after the baby is born,” I told them all.

Boy oh boy, was I wrong.Fast forward half a decade

— Molly is almost fi ve and Zoe is three and a half — my ill-fi tting wings are still col-lecting dust in the closet, my stretchy-pant collection has grown and I’m still bloat-ed, hormonal and irrational at the best of times — even without a human life growing inside me.

While I used to love chatting on the phone, it’s not near-ly as fun with a preschooler screaming “Let me talk! Let me talk!” in the background, or having to put someone on hold, mid-sentence, so you can wipe a bum or bandage a bloody knee.

For the sake of salvaging my remaining friendships and my own personal sanity, I do attempt to squeeze into those wings from time to time. Actually, I’m pretty lucky in that I get to go out more than

most moms, thanks to my blogging gig and a very understand-ing husband.

The differ-ence is that now there’s a dark cloud that hangs overhead — a reminder of the early morning and the in-evitable “I wants,” the “She hit me’s,” and the “I’m bored’s” that certainly won’t take a break just because mommy is tired or suffering from “wine fl u.”

I’m not saying I’ve become a hermit. Actually, I’m more social than ever. My children and I have long conversations about the meaning of life — mostly involving the charac-ters in the fi lm Frozen — and there are plenty of play dates on our calendar.

Heck, I even still like to min-gle — well, from the comfort of my couch, behind the safe-ty of a screen.

Lately, coffee dates have been replaced with Facebook chats. And Twitter — fre-quently referred to as the cocktail party of social media — has become a great place to rub elbows and network with-

out having to put on lipstick or pants.

I’m great at making an ef-fort online, even if it’s just a comment on a status, like or a ‘retweet.’ However, I know that any digital connection runs a high risk of being dis-connected.

Actually, I’m sure I’ve been ‘unfollowed,’ ‘unliked’ and forgotten in cyberspace by many fed-up friends. I don’t hold it against them.

Still, a good handful of pals have stood by me, accepting our brief interactions, as spo-radic as they are, and not tak-ing my ‘indifference’ person-ally — or so I hope.

I take comfort in knowing that the old adage of ‘at every age, there is a stage,’ isn’t just meant for kids, it’s for us par-ents, too.

It may not be tomorrow or even next year, but one day when I’m not cocooning on the couch, covered in Spa-ghettios and a cuddly pre-schooler or two, I’ll be a good friend again — maybe even a butterfl y.

Until then, just know you’re in my thoughts and my news feed.

It may be of little solace to the team, but the Walnut Grove Ga-tors can at least say they lost to the provincial champions.

The Gators were ousted in the quarter-fi nals of the B.C. high school boys 4A basketball championships on Thursday af-ternoon at the Langley Events Centre, losing 75-70 to the Sir Winston Churchill Bulldogs.

Walnut Grove was seeded fourth for the 16-team tourna-ment.

They had opened with a 80-56 victory over the Queen Char-lotte Saints.

The Bulldogs, who lost to the Gators in last year’s open-ing round of the 3A provincial championships — which Wal-nut Grove won — were seeded fi fth and held on to edge the sixth-seed Holy Cross Crusad-ers 67-64 in Saturday’s champi-onship fi nal (see story below).

Walnut Grove wound up sev-enth after splitting their fi nal two games, an 80-57 loss to the Burnaby South Rebels and a 91-

82 win over the Vancouver Col-lege Fighting Irish.

The loss to Churchill saw the team fall behind 31-10 after one quarter and then nearly com-plete the comeback, cutting the lead down to a basket in the late stages, before losing by fi ve points.

“What happened was (Chur-chill) came out very energetic, very lively, moving everywhere on offence and defence,” said Walnut Grove coach George Bergen following that loss.

“(And) we were slow.”After Churchill’s fast start, the

Gators cut the lead to nine at the half and then inched closer throughout the second half.

“We had our opportunities in the end,” Bergen said. “We showed some signs of life but we didn’t take advantage of our opportunities.”

A big problem for the team was their failure to hit their foul shots and their inability to keep Churchill off the offensive boards.

The Gators missed 10 free throws and were out-rebound-

ed 57-47, with the Bulldogs grabbing 26 offensive rebounds.

“Our goal was to control the defensive glass and their transi-tion and we lost on both ends.”

Jadon Cohee was named a second team all-star for the Gators, his third straight year getting recognition at the tour-nament.

He was a fi rst team all-star in 2012 when the team placed second and was a fi rst team all-star and most valuable player in 2013 as the Gators won the title.

Cohee, who is off to Seat-tle University next season on scholarship, scored 90 points over his team’s four games. He fi nishes his high school ca-reer with 264 career points in a dozen games, an average of 22 points per game.

The total places Cohee third all-time in the tournament’s history behind Pasha Bains (317 points in 12 games for Rich-mond in 1996 and 1998) and Cameron Smythe (276 points in 13 games for Sir Charles Tupper in 2010, 2011 and 2012).

Walnut Grove Gators’ Jadon Cohee cuts to the hoop during his team’s 75-70 loss to the Sir Winston Churchill Bulldogs in the quarter-fi nals of the B.C. high school boys 4A basketball championships at the Langley Events Centre. The Bulldogs won the championships, while the Gators fi nished seventh. Cohee scored 90 points in his team’s four games last week, moving into third place all-time on the tournament’s scoring list with 264 points in 12 games.

Cohee third all-time on scoring listWALNUT GROVE FALLS IN QUARTER-FINALS

TO EVENTUAL CHAMPIONS FROM SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL AT 4A PROVINCIAL TOURNAMENT

Bulldogs, Knights win hoops titlesGARY AHUJATimes Sports

More than 4,000 fans were in attendance to watch the Sir Winston Churchill Bulldogs be-come the fi rst Vancou-ver public school to capture the B.C. high school boys 4A basket-ball championship title at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday night.

The fi nal tally came in at 4,062 people, who saw the Bulldogs hold

off Surrey’s Holy Cross Crusaders 67-64 to win the championship.

The Bulldogs were led by most valuable player Mindy Minhas’ 30 points.

Churchill, which was the fi fth seed at the 16-team tournament, beat West Vancouver 87-79 , 75-70 over Wal-nut Grove, and anoth-er Surrey school, the top-ranked Tamawan-is Wildcats, 68-66 in overtime.

This was the third straight year the tour-nament fi nal went down to the fi nal min-ute as in 2012, the Ter-ry Fox Ravens rallied for a late 75-74 victory over the Walnut Grove Gators.

And then last March, it was the Gators pre-vailing 59-53 over the White Rock Christian Academy Warriors.

The LEC also hosted the boys 3A champi-onship fi nal on Satur-

day with Burnaby’s St. Thomas More Knights, ranked fourth going in, ending the Cinder-ella story of the No. 14 Charles Hays Rain-makers of Prince Ru-pert.

The Rainmakers had knocked off the No. 3 seed, the No. 6 seed and the No. 7 seed be-fore falling 53-38 to the Knights in the champi-onship game.

STM’s Reese Morris was named MVP.



And then there were two.The Aldergrove Kodiaks and

the Richmond Sockeyes — the top two teams in the Pacifi c Ju-nior Hockey League regular sea-son — will square off to deter-mine which team will represent the league at the Cyclone Tay-lor Cup, the junior B provincial championships.

The series is a rematch of last year’s championship fi nal, which was a Sockeyes sweep.

The Kodiaks beat the Ab-botsford Pilots 7-3 in game fi ve of the best-of-seven series on March 12 at the Aldergrove Arena, winning the series four games to one.

The Sockeyes used a fi ve-goal third period in game four to complete their sweep over the North Vancouver Wolf Pack, winning 8-6.

“I am excited,” said Kodiaks coach Brad Rihela.

“This should be fun. It is going to be fast hockey and it should

be a hell of a series.”Richmond (34-5-3-2, 73 points)

had the better regular season record over Aldergrove (34-6-2-2, 72 points) and is a perfect 8-0 in the post-season. The Kodiaks are 8-1.

The teams played four times during the regular season, with three of the games decided by one goal while the other was a tie game.

Aldergrove won the fi rst and last meetings, while the second contest was a tie and the third game was a Richmond victory.

“We are both very similar teams and play an uptempo style,” Rihela said.

“We are going to have to make the most of our chances and play well defensively.”

Aldergrove had the more po-tent offence during the regular season, scoring a league-best 217 goals in 44 games, while the Sockeyes countered as the stingiest unit, allowing 98 goals during the season. The teams were also one-two in goal dif-

ferential as the Kodiaks fi nished +99 while Richmond was +98.

Spencer McHaffi e is the lead-ing scorer for the Kodiaks in the playoffs with eight goals and 12 points while Richmond is led by Ayden MacDonald’s six goals and 12 points.

MacDonald is a rookie from the Langley Minor Hockey As-sociation.

In goal, Aldergrove’s Jordan Liem is tops among all goalies in the post-season with both a 1.94 goals against average and a .927 save percentage. Rich-mond’s Kurt Russell is second in both categories at 2.11 and .920, respectively and both goal-ies have one shutout.

The Sockeyes have home-ice advantage for the champion-ship series, but it will begin at the Aldergrove Arena on March 19.

Games two and three will be at Richmond’s Minoru Arena on March 20 and 23 while game four is back in Aldergrove on March 26.

Kodiaks playing in PJHL final

Karl Hallquist picked up medals of each co-lour to lead an impres-sive showing for the Langley Olympians at the Swim BC short course (25m pool) AA championships.

The meet was hosted by the Chilliwack Spar-tans Swim Club earlier this month at the Chil-liwack Leisure Landing

Centre and featured close to 400 swimmers.

Hallquist, 17, won gold in the 14 and over freestyle event and sil-ver in the 200 IM, the 100 fl y, the 200 free and picked up bronze in the 400 free. He was one of 12 members of the club competing at the meet and one of four to fi nd the podium.

Ryan Hunter, 10, won silver in the 11 and un-der 200 back event while Danielle de la Gorgend-iere, 14, was second in the 14 and over 200 back.

And Regan Bedard, 11, won silver in the 11 and under 100 breaststroke.

Bedard and Hunter also achieved their AAA qualifying times for the championships.

The Langley Rivermen have a tough road ahead of them after dropping the fi rst two games on home ice in the BCHL’s Mainland Division fi nal.

The Coquitlam Ex-press came into the George Preston Recre-ation Centre — the Riv-ermen were forced to switch venues with the Langley Events Centre hosting provincial bas-ketball championships last week — and skated away with 4-2 and 2-1 victories.

The series switched to Coquitlam’s Poirier Sports and Leisure Com-plex for games three and four last night and tonight (Tuesday).

The big difference in the series has been Ex-press goaltender Gordie Defi el. He made 36 saves each night and is tops among all post-season goaltenders with a 1.80 goals against average

and a .948 save percent-age.

In game one, the teams were tied at one after two periods thanks to fi rst-period goals from Coquitlam’s Can-on Pieper and Langley’s Cameron Bertsch.

The Express turned up the heat in the third pe-riod, out-shooting Lang-ley 15-7 and out-scoring them 3-1.

Ryan Rosenthal and Cody Boyd scored fi ve minutes apart and after James Robinson cut the lead down to a single goal, Boyd potted his second with 2:07 to play.

Game two saw the Ex-press score twice in the opening period — Zach Hodder on a two-man advantage 2:39 in and Rosenthal in the fi nal minute. Kevan Kilistoff got the Rivermen on the board with 6:32 to play, but Langley was unable to muster anything else.

Langley Rivermen forward Austin Azurdia pins Coquitlam defenceman Mark Whiteley behind the net during game two of the BCHL Mainland Division fi nals at the George Preston Recreation Centre on Saturday night. The Express won 2-1 to take a 2-0 series lead as the best-of-seven shifted to Coquitlam last night (Monday) and tonight for games three and four.

A pair of Langley hockey teams, as well as another from Aldergrove, are representing the Lower Mainland this week at their respective provincial tournaments.

The Langley Minor Hock-ey Association bantam tier 4 team is in Windermere Valley while the the juvenile team will play at provincials in Rich-mond.

And a midget tier 3 team from the Aldergrove Minor Hockey Association has qual-ifi ed for their provincial tour-nament in 100 Mile House.

“Our goal was to qualify

for provincials,” said Kevin Lapointe, the head coach of the bantam A4 squad.

“From the outset, that is what we wanted to do.

“We put a great group of kids together and developed as the season went on.”

The Eagles had played the regular season in a higher fl ight, and were in the mid-dle of the pack, the coach ex-plained.

“We had our ups and downs, but obviously when playoffs came around, it was a differ-ent game for us because now we are playing against oth-er tier 4 teams in the Pacifi c Coast for qualifying,” he said.

They beat Abbotsford A4 to qualify for the PCAHA fi nal four and then won both of their fi rst two games against Ridge Meadows and North Shore Winter Club.

That set up a fi nal game against Langley A5 — who was also 2-0 — with the winner moving on to provincials.

The Langley A4 team won 7-1 to continue their season.

The team also won the annu-al President’s Day tournament in Phoenix last month.

“It’s a balanced team all the way up and down, from the goaltender out to the defence-men to the forwards,” Lapointe said.

A fi rst period defi cit could not slow Fraser Valley, as they overcame a two-goal hole to capture the U19A provincial championship in Prince George.

The Fraser Valley Ringette Association squad was down 3-1 to top-seed Surrey, but came rallied back for the 7-4 victory.

“It was a challenging game, we fell behind 3-1 but the girls never gave up,” said coach Mitch Schwartz.

“And scoring our fi rst two goals on the power play helped us start our comeback.”

With the score tied at four, Rachel Gauthier netted the winner — she also opened the scoring and had two assists — and Ali Ferguson added two goals, the second one into the empty net for the gold medal.

Kim Ratel, Emma Paradis and Teagan Dixon had the other goals, while Katie Vincent had three as-sists.

Jennifer Otty had a strong game in goal.Fraser Valley had placed second in the fi ve-

team round robin pool with a 3-1 record, their only loss a 5-1 defeat at the hands of Surrey. And in the semifi nals, Fraser Valley shut out Kelowna 3-0 to set up the showdown with Surrey for the gold medal.

“Surrey is a very skilled team,” Schwartz said. “We had only beaten them once in six previous games this year.”

Fraser Valley captures gold

Three off to provincials

In a back-and-forth championship fi nal, it was the Langley Dust-ers prevailing over Chilliwack.

The bantam hockey teams were playing for the gold medal in the fi nals of a tournament in Salmon Arm earlier this month (March 7 to 9).

Chilliwack jumped out to 2-0 lead before Langley regrouped to take the 3-2 lead with four minutes to play. But after Chilliwack tied the score with only two minutes to play — and overtime looming — the Dust-ers struck off a scram-ble around their op-ponent’s net, banging home the winner for

the 4-3 victory.The victory also

avenged an earlier loss — just one of three all season for Lang-ley — to that same Chilliwack squad at a tournament in Hope earlier this season.

The Dusters went 5-0 at the Salmon Arm tournament, improv-ing their overall record to 37-3-2.

Langley beat Wil-liams Lake 8-2, shut-out the host Salmon Arm team 8-0 and edged Kelowna 4-2 in round robin play. In the semifi nals, the Dusters broke open a 1-1 game in the third period with four un-answered goals to beat West Kelowna 5-1.
