LangleyAdvanceGun parts were found underthe booster seat of thesuspect’s five-year-old son.by Matthew [email protected]

Prosecutors laid 37 more char-ges against a Walnut Grove manaccused of running an inter-national gun trading businessfrom his suburban home.

Guns and gun parts from a sub-urban Langley home have beenflowing to gangsters both hereand internationally, police say.

A Langley man, BradleyMichael Friesen, 37, is nowfacing 46 gun-related charges inB.C., as well as more charges inthe United States.

“This guy essentially is a free-lance gun parts maker,” said Sgt.Lindsey Houghton, spokespersonfor the Combined Forces SpecialEnforcement Unit (CFSEU).

Houghton called him a“Dr. Frankenstein” of fire-arms.

Friesen came to Canadianattention as a result ofan investigation by theAmerican Bureau of Alcohol,Tobacco, and Firearms(ATF) in Arizona.

In May, ATF officers con-tacted the local anti-gangpolice. They said a B.C. manwas suspected of selling Glockparts and silencers over the inter-net.

The CFSEU investigationinvolved surveilling their suspect.

“It did not take long before hewas observed mailing packagesof auto sears and silencers toaddresses in Canada, the U.S.,and Australia,” said Houghton.

Auto sears are small devicesthat can be used to convert gunsto fire on full-auto. A full-autoweapon will keep firing as longas the trigger is held down.

He was also seen visiting aworkshop in Langley.

When investigatorslearned their target was goingcamping on Osoyoos in Julywith his five-year-old child, theyobtained search warrants forboth his home and workshop,along with his van and tent at theNK’Mip campground.

On July 16, they arrestedFriesen, and seized a long list ofguns and gun components, someof them in various stages of con-struction.

From his van and tent, offi-cers seized a CZ858 fully auto-matic assault rifle with a loaded75-round drum magazine andanother loaded 40-round maga-

zine. They also found an AR-15assault rifle, converted from semi-automatic to fully automatic, anda 1943 Sten sub machine gunwith a 32-round magazine, 32prohibited Glock auto switches,seven sound suppressors (alsoknown as silencers) and maga-zines and ammunition.

Most of the magazines were“unpinned.” Canadian law limitshow much ammunition can beput in a magazine. Police believeFriesen had unpinned largermagazines to allow them to beloaded with many more bullets.

Police found another CZ858semi-automatic rifle at Friesen’s

home near the21000 block of 95AAvenue in WalnutGrove, books onmaking suppres-sors, and more gunparts and maga-zines.

When police arrested him, theyfound one of the guns, unloaded,within reach of Friesen’s son’sbooster seat. More gun parts werestashed under the seat itself.

“As a parent, I find this abso-lutely appalling,” Houghton said.

A family member took thechild, and the Ministry ofChildren was contacted.

Friesen was originally chargedwith two counts of weapons traf-ficking, two counts possessionfor the purpose of weapons traf-ficking, importing or exportingunauthorized components, andtwo counts of gun possessioncontrary to a prohibition order.

On Monday, the CFSEUannounced the next 37 char-

ges, including 10 countsof possession of fire-arms and other devicescontrary to a prohibi-

tion order, three countsof weapons trafficking, six countsof careless use of a firearm, andother charges related to importingand exporting or possession ofguns and ammunition.

Friesen was convicted of a 2003attempted murder in Pentictonusing a gun. He has a lifetimeban on owning or possessingguns.

The suspect is now in custodyin Surrey and will await trial hereon his charges. Houghton said upto 30 more charges could be laidin the near future, and the policeare trying to track down leads tohis alleged customers.

“We’re looking for any type ofrecord, digital or paper copy,”Houghton said.

Friesen is thought to have linksto a number of mid-level criminalgroups in B.C.

Murder charge

Picked upinMexicoA man on the run for thelast three years on murdercharges is now in custodyin B.C.by Matthew [email protected]

Cory Vallee, wanted forthe brazen murder of KevinLeClair outside a Langleygrocery store in 2009, hasbeen arrested in Mexico anddeported back to Canada.

Vallee was arrested on Aug.14. The Mexican authoritiesnoticed a red flag on hisname issued by Interpol.He was returned to Canadaon Aug. 17, according to aMexican government pressrelease. (The release wastranslated through Google.)

LeClair, an associate of theBacon Brothers, was shot andkilled on Feb. 6, 2009, outsidethe Walnut Grove IGA. Hisattackers peppered an areaoutside the store with gunfirebefore speeding off. No oneelse was hurt.

Vallee was later chargedwith first degree murder forthe killing, one of a series ofslayings linked to the gangwar of 2009.

Also charged was ConorD’Monte, who at the timewas the alleged leader of theUN Gang. The UN Gang wasfeuding with the Bacon broth-ers and their Red Scorpionallies.

Vallee is also charged withmurdering Jonathan Barber.Barber was a 24-year-oldinnocent bystander with nogang connections. He wasdriving a Porsche Cayenne,preparing to install a customstereo, and was shot wholedriving. His girlfriend, fol-lowing in another car, waswounded in the hail of gun-fire. The car was linked toone of the Bacons.

A missing person’s case inNorth Langley is officially amurder investigation.by Matthew [email protected]

A young Langley man missingsince February was likely mur-dered, police say.

Nicholas Hannon, who wouldhave turned 20 this month, waslast seen by his younger brotheron Feb. 24.

Craig Hannon, Nicholas’s fath-er, said when he goes out withhis young granddaughter, shesees missing posters of her UncleNick and asks why he doesn’tjust come home.

“We have never given uphope, however, now that IHIThas the case, our deepest fearsmay be a reality,” Craig Hannonsaid at a press conferenceThursday.

The Integrated HomicideInvestigation Team took over thecase in April, after working withthe Langley RCMP for severalweeks.

The suspicious circumstancesof Hannon’s disappearance andsome pieces of evidence haveled police to believe foul playwas involved, said Staff Sgt.Jennifer Pound, spokespersonfor IHIT.

“Right from the beginning, thisdidn’t look normal,” she said.

She could not say anythingspecific about that evidence.

Investigators are hoping that apublic appeal will bring in moretips that allow them to find outwhat happened and locate theperson or persons responsible.

Craig Hannon asked for any-one who knows to speak up.

“Our family believes thatsomeone out there has thestrength to come forward,” hesaid.

He made a plea to anyone whoknows something.

“Whatever happened, has hap-pened,” said Craig. “Someoneknows or some people knowwhat has happened, or did what-ever they did. I would hope thatthey have family, too, maybe

brothers, or sons, and I hopethey can see the pain that we’resuffering, and that they canovercome their guilt and comeforward, and let us know whathappened.”

“We knowthat there areindividuals outthere who havedetails,” Poundsaid.

A $10,000reward for infor-mation that leadsto the safe returnof Nick Hannonremains in place,his father said.

Before Nick’sdisappearance, life was good forthe young man and there was noindication of trouble, Craig said.Nick had been living at home,spending time with his youngerbrother and going to school.

In late February, Craigreturned home late from workand noticed Nick’s car was nothome. It still wasn’t there whenhe got up for an early flight thenext morning.

Craig said he had a gut feelingsomething was wrong, but he

didn’t want to be an overprotect-ive dad.

Nicholas was last seen onFeb. 26. On Feb. 27, his carwas found at the dead end of

McKinnon Crescent,south of DerbyReach RegionalPark.

Hannon was notknown to go toDerby Reach andthere was no reasonfor the vehicle to beparked there, saidPound.

Search teamsof volunteers andMetro VancouverParks workers

scoured the area through snowand cold weather starting earlyon March 2, but the search wascalled off within a couple ofdays, with no results.

Nick Hannon is described asCaucasian, 5’9”, slim build, withvery short dark brown hair.

If people have informationabout Hannon’s disappearance,they are asked to contact theIHIT Tipline at 1-877-551-4448.Or to remain anonymous, useCrimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Fightfighters had to bring in waterby tanker to fight a workshop fire inSouth Langley.by Matthew [email protected]

Every firehall in Langley Township wascalled out to bring water to a blaze in aworkshop and home in South LangleyMonday morning.

There were no injuries in the fire thatstarted at Zero Avenue and 204th Street.

A workshop, with living quarters aboveit, caught fire just before 7:15 a.m.

The fire began in the living quarters,which suffered the brunt of the damage,

said assistant fire chief Bruce Ferguson.Because of the remote location, a tanker

shuttle was established, with tankertrucks from all seven Langley Townshipfirehalls bringing in water from the near-est hydrant.

The living quarters were rendered“uninhabitable,” said Ferguson.

By his early estimate the building suf-fered between $250,000 to $300,000 indamage.

A high-end convertible Cadillac was inthe workshop area, and is now coveredwith a tarp. It didn’t burn, but Fergusonis not sure how much water damage itmay have suffered.

Investigators are looking into the cause,but there are no immediate signs that thefire was suspicious.

Albertans have offered an interesting per-spective on the Mount Polley Mine dambreach. Rather than joining the majority ofBritish Columbians in outrage over the poten-tial environmental disaster that the uncon-trolled spill of about 15 million of cubic metresof mine waste represented, they’re outragedthat we aren’t keen to allow Enbridge to placeour pristine wilderness in a simi-larly precarious position.

Instead of demanding thatImperial Metals Corp. be broughtup to the same strict environ-mental scrutiny that BritishColumbians are demanding ofEnbridge’s Northern Gatewayoil pipeline disaster-in-waiting,pundits on the other side of the Rockies seemto prefer the “what’s good for the goose”approach, demanding that B.C.’s environmentministry bureaucrats look the other way, asthey appear to have done at Mount Polley.

One clever lad from Alberta asked specific-ally, “Why is an Alberta-based oil-and-gascompany subjected to such intense scrutinywhile a B.C.-based mining company gets arelatively light pass?”

He follows that up with a righteous demand:“The citizens of B.C. are entitled to a fullexplanation.” Indeed, we are.

Update after update was spewed out fromthe B.C. Minister of Environment, startingpractically from the moment the dam broke,spilling about 10 million cubic metres of waterand 4.5 million cubic metres of mine tailingsinto the natural watershed.

To put the amount of crud involved intoperspective for the metric-challenged, onecubic metre converts to about 264 US gallons– so we’re talking about something close tofour billion gallons of potentially dangerousmaterial.

The ministry’s missives were filled withsunshine, from the outset, loaded with wordsof encouragement and wishful thinking – butseriously short on facts.

While it now appears that we may be rela-tively lucky, and the spill may not be as dev-astatingly toxic as could have been (no thanksto Imperial or the B.C. government), theministry’s reaction demonstrated an import-ant distinction between its perceived role andwhat it actually does.

We are subtly led to believe that MaryPolak’s ministry is a steward of the environ-ment, but in fact, it is a body whose chieffunction is to administer the environment,renting it out to various business interests,

and acting as a liaison betweenbusiness and the environment’sowners (B.C.’s citizenry).

B.C.’s environment ministrysees the environment as a com-modity, an asset to be exploitedfor business purposes – and weget to play with whatever is leftover.

What the Albertans don’t understand, whenthey bemoan Enbridge’s treatment at thehands of the nasty B.C. government, is thepolitical climate that was current at the timethat decisions had to be made.

It wasn’t about B.C. companies vs. Alberta(or anyone else’s) companies; it was aboutwhat the B.C. government could (or couldn’t)get away with.

Premier Christy Clark’s contentious FiveConditions aimed at mitigating Enbridge’spotentially devastating environmental impact(contentious outside of B.C., that is) wouldnever have happened if an election wasn’tlooming at the same time that B.C. citizens gotseriously concerned about their environment.

Big decisions like Enbridge are usually timedto occur right after, instead of just before, anelection – to give us time to forget.

Every once in a while, the B.C. governmentfinds it prudent to listen to us.

Albertans also ignore the fact that, unlikeImperial, Enbridge had already earned a repu-tation for lack of environmental trustworthi-ness in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Last week’s question:What’s the biggest summer danger right now?

Advance Poll…

Our View

Public schoolskeep changing

With the ongoing labour dispute paralys-ing the B.C. public school system, it’s nowonder that there’s been a lot of interest inprivate schools.

Education is now vastly more compli-cated than it was in the 1930s, when B.C.schools tended to concentrate on the threeRs, when the vast majority of studentswould never see post-secondary educationas an option, and when one-room school-houses were still common.

Now a majority of students will go touniversity or to a technical or trade school.Computers are as important to mechanicsand nurses as they are to engineers. Literacyand numeracy are more vital than ever, butto those basic skills we have added a vastrange of social issues we expect teachers toaddress, from physical fitness to life skills tosocial awareness.

A society used to choice and seeing moreand more options for the future of its nextgeneration has demanded more choice fromits schools. To a great degree, the provinceand school districts have provided that.

An article in Sunday’s Vancouver Provincesang the praises of private schools – smallerclass sizes, specialized programs, higher testscores. Yet it capped that coverage with aphoto from the Langley Fine Arts School – apublic school.

Choice schools, dedicated to everythingfrom the International Baccalaureate pro-gram to French immersion, from athletics toperformance to the fine arts, have become afeature of the landscape. And these schoolsare open to every student who can meettheir requirements, regardless of their par-ents’ ability to pay.

A danger of praising private schools toohighly is that parents may not even try tofind out what is available in the public sys-tem. Another danger is that, if too many ofour political elites enroll their children inprivate programs, what incentive do theyhave to add more choices and support tothe public schools?

Dear Editor,Last Tuesday, Aug. 12, my hus-

band was having day surgery atWexham Park Hospital in the UnitedKingdom. I went to have a coffeeand I had the good fortune to meetup with two ladies whose names,sadly, I did not ask for, but I knowthat they live in Langley.

We spent an hour or more talking aboutmany things and laughing together. Wedecided that we didn’t much like beingbracketed as “the elderly.” This is prob-ably why we had such a fun-filled time andshared so many common experiences.

I would like them to know how much Iappreciated their company. I felt I’d knownthem all my life, and am deeply grateful tothem both.

I saw them again just as they were leav-ing and I was sitting reading my Kindlewhilst waiting for my husband. I would

so like them to know how much Ienjoyed and appreciated their com-pany. If they ever felt like it, I’d loveto meet them again.

Having so much fun as we growolder, and whilst sometimes othersthink that our brains have gonethe way of our bodies, puts me in

mind if this extract from a poem by HenryWadsworth Longfellow:

Something remains for us to do or dare;Even the oldest tree some fruit may bear;Not Oedipus Coloneus, or Greek Ode,Or tales of pilgrims that one morning rodeOut of the gateway of the Tabard Inn,But other something, would we but begin;For age is opportunity no lessThan youth itself, though in another dress,And as the evening twilight fades away, the sky is

filled with stars, invisible by day.Ann Robertson, via email

Dear Editor,As a parent of two chil-

dren in the public educationsystem, I was disappointedwith the government’s offerto pay parents $40 per dayif the dispute with teach-ers is not settled before the

school year begins.If Premier Christy Clark’s

government does not negoti-ate with the teachers’ unionover the summer, she isneglecting her duty. It is hergovernment’s job to negoti-ate in good faith.

She and her governmentwill be directly responsiblefor delaying the school yearif the negotiations do nottake place. They need tomeet each and every dayuntil the dispute is resolved.Only in this way can asettlement be reached.

Of course, if she sitsback and enjoys her sum-mer recess until October,she can end the strike withlegislation – the coward’sway out. It says she is noteven willing to give up a lit-tle of her summer vacationto work for the education ofthe children. Of course, thechildren can’t vote, so whatdoes she care?

But their parents can vote,and the children will in thefuture. In fact, the childrenare the future. Well edu-cated children now are thebeginning of a bright future.Without them, there willbe no future taxpayers, nohealth care, no social secur-ity net, and no continuedretirement pay for formerpoliticians.

Salmon River Uplands

Waterline work creates messDear Editor,

I would like to add my comments on the waterlineboondoggle [Waterline project not funny, July 22 Letters,Langley Advance].

We live on the edge of the Salmon River ravine – the con-struction “war zone” passes right in front of our house, andour road somewhat resembles the pictures the Mars Roversends back to earth.

I called the Township engineering office and requestedthey ask the contractor to clean up their mess – at leastsweep and wash the road before the dust comes back. By 8p.m. Friday evening, nothing was done.

Just to add fuel to the fire, the contractor left at 9 p.m.,after spraying enough water on the road and area to leaveit looking like a swamp. It is totally unacceptable, and who-ever is responsible at Langley Township has some explain-ing to do.

What other venue do we citizens have with which tovent, if not the local news media?

Thanks for being there.Win Bromley, Langley Township

Dear Editor,I don’t know why Dean Clark [Canada

needs age of consent, July 24 Letters,Langley Advance] and other extreme right-wing religious zealots can’t get this funda-mental fact of human nature straight: mybody is mine, and your body is yours.

A corollary of this fact is that a woman’sbody is hers, and this includes her uterus.

Actually, maybe it is explicable. InChristianity’s view, we are not agents withinherent worth, but worms at the disposalof a tyrant who owns us as if we are prop-erty, and not agents. God casts us intoeternal fire for finite transgressions, kills offall beings on the planet when he doesn’tlike how some are behaving, convicts usof thought crime for having natural humanreactions like lust, and sends bears to mauland tear apart children for the crime ofmocking a prophet, for example.

There’s also God’s explicit endorsement

of slavery and genocide. God has no respectfor life, let alone human agency.

This is the most fundamental immoral-ity at the centre of the three monotheisms.Kant was right to say that the beginning ofmorality is to treat each human being as anend in themselves, and not a means to ourown ends. And yes, that even includes chil-dren. Parents are stewards of children, notowners of children.

Thank goodness infidels and freethinkershave risked life and limb (literally riskingamputations of limbs, genitals, etc. for thecrime of doubting the church), and foughttotalitarians who apparently missed theEnlightenment and human rights revolution.

Experts had reservations aboutTrinity Western University’s lawschool plan from the outset.by Stanley TrompSpecial to the Langley Advance

An expert legal panel hired by the B.C.government to advise on whether toapprove a law school at Trinity WesternUniversity expressed serious reservationsabout major aspects of the plan, eightmonths before the government approvedthe school.

TWU, an evangelical Christian insti-

tution, applied to the B.C. ministry ofadvanced education in June 2012 to estab-lish a school of law.

According to Freedom of Informationdocuments obtained by The Province,the legal panel’s “serious reservations”included concern about the proposed lawschool’s academic freedom, the breadth ofits world view, teaching of legal skills andcourse quality.

A 26-page Report Workbook from thepanel of five law professors from acrossCanada warned that a proposed introduc-tory first-year course was “destined tofail,” and said there was “evidence thatgrads will not be able to get jobs.”

“The curriculum as described in thewritten materials does not set out in acomprehensive way whatthe overall learning object-ives are,” the panel said.“The proposal says verylittle about the importanceof an understanding of thetheory of law.”

The special reviewpanel – consisting of lawprofessors David Percy,University of Alberta; JoostBlom, University of B.C.; Anne Pappas,Thompson Rivers University; BernardAdell, Queen’s University and JeffreyBerryman, University of Windsor – visitedTWU and interviewed university officialsbefore writing their report for the Ministryof Advanced Education’s Degree QualityAssessment Board (DQAB).

The panellists could not speak to TheProvince because their government con-tract bound them to confidentiality.

On breadth of world view, the panelwrote, “Whether or not a lawyer holdsa Christian world view, he or she mustbe able readily understand and respecta diversity of world views, and respondto the needs and rights of people withall sorts of perspectives and experiences.Any... program must make a sustainedeffort to give students the intellectualbackground that will help them dealwith and effectively represent people andorganizations with whose views they mayprofoundly disagree.”

On the positive side, the panel noted:“There was a clear willingness on the partof the TWU representatives with whomwe met to see these issues resolved.”

A key point raised by the panel was thatTWU would be unable to meet the qualitystandard for hiring faculty if it maintainedits demand that faculty sign the univer-sity’s covenant and faith statement.

The covenant includes a pledge toabstain from “sexual intimacy that violatesthe sacredness of marriage between a manand a woman,” which critics say violatesCanada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

“It is virtually certain, in our view,” the

panel wrote, “that requiring law studentsto sign the Community Covenant wouldhave a similar detrimental effect on thediversity of the law student body, and itmay also have a detrimental effect on theacademic quality of those students.”

TWU had pointed to admission policiesof law schools at U.S. universities withreligious affiliations. But the panel saidTWU’s approach was more extreme.

The report also warned: “To the extentthat experiential learning is to form part ofthe courses, TWU seems to us to under-estimate seriously the time and resourcesthat are needed to do a good job.”

Other criticism included observationsthat TWU’s program would be more“rigid” than any other Canadian law

school program, that itwas scanty on criminallaw, that it would offeronly a “light dusting ofaboriginal law” and “noseparate legal researchcourse,” and that “familylaw (is) not required.”

Yet, the panel noted, ithad mandatory courses onwills and real estate man-

agement, which no other Canadian lawschool does.

The panel’s report was delivered to theprovincial government, which advisedTrinity Western of the concerns, and rec-ommended changes.

TWU’s letter of response – not availableunder FOI requests – stated how it wouldimplement some revisions, including achange in faculty requirements.

The university agreed to a compromisewhereby it would waive the marriage andsex covenant for sessional and adjunctfaculty, who do not have the status ofpermanent employees.

That revision and others, including cre-ation of a family law course, satisfied theapproval board, and Advanced EducationMinister Amrik Virk granted approval forthe school.

TWU president Bob Kuhn said therewere 10 standards to meet in the panel’sreport, and TWU met or exceeded thestandard on five of them. Kuhn said theuniversity told the ministry how the otherconcerns would be addressed.

On concerns about the communitycovenant, Kuhn said it is critical that thepanel concluded that the TWU proposal“meets or exceeds (the) standard” for itsadmission and transfer arrangements.

“We would also note that there is noevidence whatsoever that the CommunityCovenant would have a detrimental effecton any aspect of academic quality. Theevidence would in fact indicate the oppos-ite,” Kuhn said.

Some would considerthe comfortable temper-atures under a ceiling ofclouds to be near perfectconditions for a summerfestival.

Judging from the sheernumber of visitors to the21st annual Arts AliveFestival in downtownLangley on Saturday, thatassumption would be cor-rect.

The one-way section

The kids zone was apopular place for littleones and their parents,with a bouncy castle,

facepainting, Queen Elsafrom the movie Frozen(as played by AlyssaNielsen), music by Robynand Ryleigh Gillespie ofLangley, and even a giantT-Rex.

Susan Magnusson will be filling the LEC stadium for the opening ceremonies of the B.C. Seniors Games in just a few weeks.

The big moments for the B.C.Seniors Games won’t all beathletic ones.by Matthew [email protected]

When you have a major athleticevent, with thousands of partici-pants, you need a bit of pomp andceremony to kick things off.

For that, the B.C. Seniors Gameshas Susan Magnusson, director ofceremonies.

Magnusson, principal of theLangley Community Music School,has already overseen the first torchlighting ceremony in June.

Now she’s working to put the fin-ishing touches on the opening andclosing ceremonies for the gamesthemselves.

The opening will take place on

Sept. 10, one day after the start ofcompetition, and the closing on Sept.13.

The Langley Events Centre will bethe site for the opening ceremon-ies, and even its arena floor can’tpossibly hold everyone of the more than3,900 participantsfrom around the prov-ince. Marshalling allthose people will beone of her key chal-lenges, Magnussonsaid.

“I understand thisis going to be the largest gamesever,” said Magnusson.

The plan is to fill the stadium floorwith the 900 participants from Zone3, the Lower Mainland zone thatincludes Langley.

The seats will also be filled – bythe other participants, and also byany members of the public who

want to come by and see the freeshow.

Mayors from both Langleys andother dignitaries will welcome theathletes, and there will be entertain-ment.

However,Magnusson isn’tsaying exactly whatis planned for theevening’s festivities.She wants to keep itunder wraps until thenight itself.

Magnusson wastapped for this project

after similarly organizing the 2010Summer Games ceremonies.

“It was a great experience,” shesaid. She’s looking forward to thisevent as well.

Magnusson is helped by a teamcomposed of Alicia Stark, DaveStark, Leanne Wendt, StewartMagnusson and Ian Crew.
