New ‘landfi ll’ lawsuit goes aft er Township

ALDERGROVE STAR

By DAN FERGUSONAldergrove Star

Th e man who didn’t show up for the Chilliwack trial of his $15 million lawsuit against opponents of his proposal to fi ll in 66 acres of his Aldergrove farm has fi led another lawsuit that complains about the way his fi ll application was made public.

In a separate B.C. Supreme Court statement of claim fi led in Vancouver, property owner Robin Scory complains that his right to privacy was violated when details of his soil fi ll application were disclosed on three occasions in March, September and October of 2010, once during a public meeting by a councillor and twice by Township staff to individuals.

“Th e plaintiff , Robin Scory, did not consent to the release of his personal name or any subsequent information involving his busi-ness at TOL [Township of Langley]” Scory writes in a statement of claim fi led in B.C. Supreme Court.

It is one of several complaints made in the 11-page document fi led in March of his year by Scory, who also argues that he was the victim of harassment and malicious conduct when he applied to the Township to get a building permit for a farm residence with an att ached machinery storage building on his farm at 7306 264 Street.

He wants compensa-tion for “unreasonable delays and unnecessary expenses.”

Th e Vancouver lawsuit names two Township of Langley employees and the Township as well as the Union of BC Mu-nicipalities, the provincial Ministry of the Environ-ment and the federal De-partment of Fisheries and Oceans.

Like Scory’s other lawsuit fi led last year in Chilliwack against an environmental group and two individuals who criticized the soil fi ll, the property owner claims that he has been the victim of “malicious” and “willful misconduct.”

In April, a Vancouver judge dismissed the lawsuit against the provincial Ministry of the Environment and ordered Scory to pay $250 towards court costs.

A Surrey man has been arrested and charged in connection with the May 2 assault on an Aldergrove shopkeeper with a hammer.

Langley RCMP have charged Keith Robertson, 22, who is believed to be responsible for two robberies this past week in Aldergrove and Brookswood.

Th e fi rst robbery took place on May 2 just past 7 a.m. Th e Express convenience store in the 2900-block of 272 Street was robbed by two males, one carrying a fi re-arm and the other a hammer.

Th e store clerk was hit in the head sev-eral times with both the gun and the ham-mer. Th e victim’s wounds to his jaw and side of his head required stitches but were not life threatening.

Th e suspects emptied the register of money and also took lott ery tickets and then fl ed into the alley behind the store. Th ey were seen fl eeing in an older white Ford car.

Offi cers reviewing the surveillance footage of the robbery were able to identify one of the two men. Th ey also recovered the hammer, which had been dropped during the escape.

Th e second robbery took place on May 4 at about 9 a.m. Two males entered a convenience store in the 20700-block of 42 Avenue and went directly behind the counter. One of the suspects hit the store clerk several times with a stick or rod. Th e clerk was also punched in the face during the robbery.

Th e clerk was ordered to open the till and the robbers took the contents of the till and the lott ery tickets.

Th e two suspects fl ed and the clerk was able to follow them to the parking lot and obtain the licence plate of the getaway

vehicle. A witness in the parking lot saw the vehicle leave the parking lot and saw the clerk chasing it so he followed the vehicle and reported to police its fi nal stop.

Th e vehicle turned out to be sto-len.

However, about 45 minutes later, a general duty offi cer con-ducting patrols in the 20200-block of 54A Avenue observed a male matching the description of one of

the robbery suspects. Th e offi cer stopped the suspect, who gave a false name. Th e offi cer took notice of a tatt oo on the suspect’s arm that appeared to be a surname. Further police investigation confi rmed he was the suspect from the fi rst rob-bery.

Robertson, 22, of Surrey, has been charged with two counts each of robbery and assault caus-ing bodily harm, one count of using a fi rearm while committ ing an

indictable off ence and one count of obstructing a peace offi cer.

He was remanded in custody and will appear in Surrey Provincial Court on May 10.

Police have not yet identifi ed the second suspect. Anyone with information that might assist with this investigation is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. Should you need to remain anony-mous, please call Crimestoppers: 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

“Agriculture today is not what it was 30 years ago,” said Dave Melnychuk of the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation.

Th ese days, farming incorpo-rates high technology, niche mar-keting, and creative promotion, and has evolved into a vital business that generates $257 million in rev-enue per year in the Township of Langley, contributing the equiva-lent of 1,790 full-time jobs.

On May 6, Melnychuk and other members of the Foundation joined elected offi cials, staff , agricultural research and development offi cials, and representatives from the pro-vincial government and the media for the Township of Langley’s 2011 Farm Tour: Th e Business of Sustainable Agriculture.

Presented by the Agricultural Advisory Committ ee (AAC), the Tour is held to provide education about issues facing farmers, and spotlight those fi nding innovative ways to succeed in the face of the changing agricultural landscape.

Th is year, guests visited All Seasons Mushrooms, Domaine de Chaberton, and Nathan Creek

Dairy Farms, and heard from Janine de la Salle, Director of Food and Agriculture System Planning at HB Lanarc Consultants, which is work-ing on the Township’s Agricultural Viability Strategy.

For agriculture to be sustainable, farmers must make a profi t, and the Township needs to “create a buzz” that will connect gourmet trends to the fresh foods produced here, be innovative with niche farming and specialty crops, and encourage direct marking, de la Salle said.

“It’s a big task,” said Melnychuk, “Th ese are challenging issues that we face, including the cost of farm-

land and the need to att ract young people.”

Hope for the future may be found in one of the guests on the tour. Martin Kline, a 16-year-old Grade 12 student at Langley Education Centre is pursuing a diploma in livestock production and serves on the LSAF. Unlike most people his age, he plans to become a farmer for a living when he fi nishes school.

“I like that kind of work,” said Kline, who enjoys machinery and plans to study animal science. “It is a good industry and so many peo-ple are leaving.”

For Aldergrove property owner Robin Scory to win $15 million compensation from his critics, a B.C. Supreme Court judge would prob-ably have to agree that Scory’s reputa-tion was hurt by the use of the word “landfi ll” to describe his proposal to dump 100,000 truckloads of dirt over 66 acres of the 160-acre parcel he owns at 7306 264 St.

According to writt en documents fi led by Scory in the B.C. Supreme Court registry in Chilliwack, the use of the word was defamatory because Webster’s dictionary defi nes a landfi ll as the “disposal of garbage, rubbish, etc. by burying it under soil or earth.”

Scory claims the word was used on hand-writt en notices posted on his property by two of the three defen-dants named in his lawsuit, the Glen Valley Watershed Society (GVWS) and Sian Krannitz, to “directly lead members of the public to believe that Robin Scory’s intent was to build/develop a garbage dump...”

Scory said he applied for the fi ll permit to “enhance the agricultural capability of his land.”

Both the GVWS and Scory denied posting the notices Tuesday in Chilliwack.

Th e lawyer for Krannitz, Nathan Muirhead, said even if the word was used by his client, it cannot be con-sidered defamatory.

Local newspapers used “land-fi ll” to describe the proposal and the Township of Langley did as well in an offi cial writt en record of a meeting on the matt er, Muirhead noted.

Muirhead said Scory made several

references to disparaging remarks in his court fi lings without saying exact-ly what they were.

In one document, Scory complains about a reference to the Aldergrove property as “environmentally sensi-tive,” something Muirhead said could not possibly injure a reputation.

Expressing concern about the possible ecological impact of the pro-posal “is not saying that Mr. Scory is a bad person who is out to hurt the environment,” Muirhead added.

Scory, who did not att end the trial, also fi led writt en material that complained about the contents of a critical report that estimated the fi ll at 1.2 million cubic metres when it was in fact 750,000.

Muirhead said that was a simple error, not malicious.

Scory maintains the comments caused the Township of Langley to refuse approval of his application and he is demanding compensation of $6.5 million each from Krannitz and the GVWS and $2 million from Jack Dewitt e, the third defendant named in the Scory lawsuit over comments Dewitt e made during a Langley Township public meeting on the pro-posal.

Th e proposal was not rejected out-right, only delayed.

Muirhead said Scory’s application did not provide enough information, for example calling the proposed fi ll “environmentally friendly” without giving details.

Th e lawyer said instead of a “mis-guided” lawsuit, Scory should re-fi le his application with the additional information the Township asked for.

At the close of arguments, Justice

Catherine Bruce said she would post-pone her decision until aft er another judge has ruled on Dewitt e, who went to court earlier this year in a bid to get the lawsuit against him dismissed.

Once a decision is made in the Dewitt e case, Bruce will make her ruling known on a similar application by the other two defendants.

Krannitz and the GVWS refused

to be interviewed about the matt er, directing all questions to their lawyer.

Scory could not be reached. His court documents give a Surrey busi-ness address with no phone number.

Meaning of ‘land fi ll’ at issue in $15 million lawsuit

Th e other defendants in the Vancouver lawsuit have also applied to have the lawsuit dismissed.

So have the defendants in the Chilliwack case.

One lawyer called the Scory lawsuit “misguided” during a May 3 hearing in Chilliwack that proceeded without Scory, aft er he sent a last-minute e-mail that he would be too busy volun-teering with a society that feeds HIV-positive people.

During the one-day trial, the court heard that Scory objected to the use of the word “landfi ll” to describe his proposal to dump 100,000 truckloads of dirt over 66 acres of the 160-acre parcel he owns because Webster’s diction-ary defi nes a landfi ll as the “disposal of garbage, rubbish, etc. by burying it under soil or earth.”

Th e Chilliwack hear-ing ended with the judge reserving decision until a later date.

According to the Fraser Institute’s latest survey, the Aldergrove community school is the worst secondary school in Langley and among the worst 50 in the province, while Langley Fine Arts is the best in Langley and among the top 50 secondary schools in all of B.C.

Th e conservative think tank released its annual Report Card on Secondary Schools in British Columbia and Yukon Sunday.

Th e Fraser institutes annual report card has been repeatedly condemned as misleading by teach-ers and left -of-centre politicians who say it is misleading and favours private schools.

Th ere was no signifi cant change in Langley school rankings. Four of the 10 local secondary schools made the top 50 of 274 B.C. schools rated by the Fraser report card -- Langley Fine Arts ranked 32nd, R E Mountain was number 37, Langley Fundamental was 48 and Walnut Grove Secondary was number 50.

Only one school, the Aldergrove Community Secondary school, was in the bott om 50 of the BC survey,

ranking 245 of 274.Aldergrove has 2.5 times more

special needs students than top-ranked Fine Arts, and the average income of Aldergrove Community parents is 78 per cent of Fine Arts parents, the report shows.

Detailed results can be found at http://britishcolumbia.compare-schoolrankings.org/secondary/Default.aspx.

Report co-author Peter Cowley, the Fraser Institute director of school performance studies, said

the study found overall school per-formance has improved, noting the percentage of secondary school exams failed in B.C. and the Yukon over the past fi ve years dropped to 8.1 per cent in 2010 from 11.9 per cent in 2006.

And the estimated percentage of grade 10 students who will not complete grade 12 within three years fell to 17.0 per cent in 2010 from 22.0 per cent in 2006.

“Th is is promising for B.C. and Yukon schools,” Cowley said.

Unity gives power to the people, and through the Fort Langley Community Association, the people of Fort Langley may soon rid their streets of truck traffi c.

Noting that there are soil deposit applications for two Glen Valley prop-erties, FLCA vice-chairman Connie Blundy asked Township council on March 14 to re-draw the truck route so that it eliminates the heavy vehicles from using village streets.

Council agreed to pursue that option with staff , and to ask the City of Abbotsford to modify access to the sites so that travel through Fort Langley is eliminated.

Th e applications were for the Nesteruk property at 8645 - 256 St., and the Bezalel/Caravett a property at 25476 and 25528 - 73 Ave.

Blundy told council that both proj-ects would impact truck traffi c volumes through the village. “I have never under-stood why we have a truck route through Fort Langley,” she told council.

Blundy asked why a 2004 Township staff recommendation to re-route trucks way from Glover Road failed to material-ize.

Asked by Councillor Kim Richter if Fort Langley was looking for a perma-

nent ban on trucks in the village, Blundy replied, “A total ban would be absolutely wonderful.”

Aft er Fort Langley-Albion ferry ser-vice ceased in July, 2009, Glover Road was withdrawn from TransLink’s Major Road Network. However, council was advised that because truck routes have regional impact, the Township must consult TransLink before truck routes are eliminated.

Soil deposit applications have a his-tory of contention in the Township, sometimes raising concerns for fl ooding, and creating visual blight on neighbour-ing properties.

Roeland Zwaag, the Township’s man-ager of design and construction, gave an outline of the new policies and measures the Township has adopted to reduce the potential impact to the Township and its residents, and place tighter control on applications. Monthly monitoring will track the volume of fi ll and number of truck loads, Zwaag said.

Mayor Rick Green said he was not comfortable that all possible controls are in place, and wondered about the cost and eff ectiveness of monitoring.

“Th e only 100 per cent solution is for the Township to no longer support non-farm applications,” administrator Mark Bakken told council.

Abbotsford Police say they are pleased with a new tactic they have used to alleviate gang-related vio-lence and murders in the commu-nity.

Th e gang suppression unit (GSU), which formed a year ago, has been deemed a success, said Const. Ian MacDonald.

He said one only has to look at some prominent statistics that plagued Abbotsford in the two years prior to the GSU. Th e community was dubbed the “murder capital of Canada” in 2009 and 2010, based on having had six homicides in 2008 and 11 the following year.

Th e 14-member GSU formed in April 2010, and there were four murders last year and none so far this year. MacDonald said although the GSU can’t take full credit for the reduction, their role in halting gang activity has played a big part.

Year-end stats released recently by the APD show that a total of 183 gangsters and associates were iden-tifi ed in the community in 2010, and the GSU recorded 36 “disrup-tions.”

As of April 23 this year, there were 142 listed subjects and 20 documented disruptions.

MacDonald said disruptions are defi ned as police putt ing a halt to a criminal activity – such as a grow rip or abduction of a rival gang member – that they have received a tip about or come across them-selves.

Th ese tips oft en come from gangsters.

“Th is notion of loyalty within gangs is a total myth ... It’s every-body for themselves. If there’s money to be made or skin to be saved, people will act out of self-interest,” MacDonald said.

An example of a disruption occurred in February when the GSU was involved with other offi -cers in executing a search warrant at an apartment in the 32700 block of George Ferguson Way.

Th e search of the suite turned up crack cocaine, heroin, cellphones and cash. A 20-year-old woman was arrested in the building, while a 25-year-old man, formerly connected to the Duhre Group (described as the prominent gang in Abbotsford), was apprehended

in the underground parking lot. Police discovered he had been

on his way to meet with colleagues who had gathered in the parking lot of the apartment building and at a gas station across the street.

It was believed they were gath-ering to take action against a rival group, MacDonald said. Police intervened, and no incidents took place.

“What if that day, we hadn’t executed that warrant? Maybe there would have been an abduction. Maybe there would have been a grow rip,” MacDonald said.

He said just the fact that gang members know they are being watched has helped curb criminal activity, but there is more work to be done.

Police are now considering adopting a formal process in which local citizens can provide tips directly to the GSU.

Currently, they have to go through other channels, such as Crime Stoppers, before the infor-mation makes its way to the unit and, by then, it can be too late.

“Sometimes, time is of the essence,” MacDonald said.

Metro Vancouverites strongly support the protection of farm-land and say it’s important to buy locally grown food, according to a new poll.

Ninety-three per cent of those surveyed by Mustel Group for Metro Vancouver said it’s impor-tant to protect agricultural lands in the region, with two-thirds saying it’s very important.

Th ey cited the need to be more self-suffi cient in producing local food, as well as concerns about over-development, urban sprawl, environmental impacts, the need to support local farm-ers and jobs and the perception that locally grown food is safer or healthier.

A minority of dissenters

argued food is bett er produced elsewhere in the province, land in the Lower Mainland should be developed and a balance must be found to support population growth.

Almost nine out of 10 of those surveyed said it’s at least somewhat important to buy locally grown or produced food, with 45 per cent listing it as very important.

Seventy-three per cent said it’s somewhat easy to fi nd local food but only one in fi ve said it’s very easy and a strong majority said improved labeling would help.

Avoiding increased reliance on imported food was a bigger concern to Vancouver residents, who also stressed their inter-est in organic food, while envi-ronmental impacts were more

prominent for Burnaby and New Westminster residents.

Women were more likely then men to support farmland protec-tion, as were immigrants from Europe versus those who come from other parts of the world.

Th e poll was commissioned to help Metro pursue its newly adopted Regional Food Systems Strategy, which aims to fi nd new ways to assist farmers and pro-mote local agriculture and food processing.

“Farmers tell us if they don’t direct-market or go to the farm-er’s market, it’s diffi cult for them to get their food processed or distributed to the consumers,” said Metro agriculture commit-tee chair Harold Steves.

Among the planks of the multi-faceted plan is to press the

provincial government to re-establish the Buy BC label to help shoppers fi nd B.C.-grown food. It also aims to protect farmland, fi nd new growing areas such as rooft op gardens and encourage local residents to choose locally grown food.

Metro is also to prepare an inventory of all agricultural land in the region to determine which parcels aren’t actively farmed.

Land speculators sitt ing on farmland is a problem, according to the strategy, as is the prolif-eration of giant estate homes on agricultural land.

Just 48 per cent of fresh food consumed in B.C. is grown in the province, down sharply from 86 per cent when the Agricultural Land Commission was created in 1972.

Strong appetite to defend farmland, buy local


Th e Agricultural Land Commission has approved the sub-division of Tuscan Farm Gardens at 24453 60 Ave.

Th e ALC’s April 21 decision, made public only this week, is the latest in a series that allows housing subdivisions within the Agricultural Land Reserve.

Th e Tuscan Farm application, made by Lorad Enterprises and Lavender Hills Holdings, was to subdivide the 80-acre property into two, one parcel of 48 acres acres on the northern part of the property, the other 32 acres on the south.

Th e current zoning is one-acre, but the purpose of the application is to establish 65 residential lots on the southern part, and develop the housing in subdivision clusters.

Under previous owners, the Tuscan Farm Gardens, formerly a commercial lavender and echinacea enterprise, was the subject of sev-eral similar applications which all failed.

Township Councillor Kim Richter said residents should be extremely alarmed at the number of ALR exclusions and subdivisions, and the pace with which they are being approved.

“I am extremely concerned about this recent ALC decision. It defi nitely signals an alarming trend. Over the past three years, too much land has come out of Langley’s ALR for non-agricultural purposes,” Richter said.

“I am very disappointed that the majority of council, includ-ing Mayor [Rick] Green, voted in favour of this subdivision applica-tion on April 26, 2010. How can Mayor Green honestly claim to be a champion of protecting farmland when this happened on his watch?”

Richter said that a subdivision of 65 clustered housing units on 32.5 acres of existing ALR farmland in the heart of agricultural Langley “is a bad decision for the future of rural Langley and the Hopington aquifer.

It’s inexcusable, indefensible and defi nitely not environmentally sus-tainable.”

Green and the rest of council “have opened the fl oodgates to development and increased density on Langley’s most vital, fragile and strained aquifer. Th is is not a legacy for anyone to be proud of,” she said.

In April, Councillor Charlie Fox expressed the same concern for another subdivision application within the ALR, this one for the Omelaniec property at 23712 - 56 Ave., and 5585 and 5559 238 St. Th e ALC approved this on April Fool’s Day, allowing for the 16 one-acre residential lots.

“I feel that this might be the tip of the iceberg in terms of other properties which have similar zoning wanting to develop,” Fox said, noting that unless municipal water and services are provided, more water will be drawn from the Hopington aquifer.

Th e recent surge in applications supported by the Township comes despite a moratorium on subdivid-ing properties above the aquifer.

However, the moratorium, which was approved by council resolution almost two decades ago, does not supersede the Township’s zoning bylaw. Only rezoning appli-cations are subject to the morato-rium.

For many years, former Langley station CJJC had radio towers located on part of the property. Th e ALC att ached several conditions which must be met within three years, including the removal of bur-ied wires associated with the tower equipment.

Th is part of the property must be restored and used as farming in perpetuity, the ALC ruled, noting that the owners have an agreement to lease part of the land to neigh-bouring Krause Farms.

Critics of subdivisions built on land zoned for agriculture have two key concerns: the erosion of farmland, and the threat to the Hopington aquifer which is the

main source of water for 2,295 homes and 202 farms.

Classifi ed by the province as heavily used and highly vulnerable to contamination, the Hopington is replenished mainly by rainfall (96 per cent), while waste from house-holds accounts for four per cent. Usage amounts to 308 litres per day per person, most of it for showers and fl ushing toilets.

Critics have repeatedly said that the level of the aquifer is dropping annually, and what is left is subject to contamination.

Th ey also say that new con-struction will expand the area of impervious surfaces above the Hopington, which currently stands at 25 per cent.

Th e ALC leaves it up to the developer to handle sewage dispos-al. Its report refers to a “proposed sewage treatment plant” which the ALC states “cannot under any circumstance contaminate the Hopington Aquifer or other waters or lands.”

Similarly, the water source for the subdivision is unclear.

Th e ALC report continues that “either the development will be ser-viced from a public water supply, or alternatively that the proposed deep aquifer source can continue to provide suffi cient water for the proposed development without concourse with or disturbance of the Hopington Aquifer at any time during drilling, testing, construc-tion or operation of a water supply serving the development from that source.”

It notes that the Tuscan develop-ment, which includes a community garden in its green space, proposes to connect to the public system by means of a main “to be laid at a suit-able depth” below the [neighbour-ing] Giesbrecht farm.

“Th is proposal is at the request of Mr. Giesbrecht, who requires additional water for his own use and who would therefore benefi t from having the main under his farm,” the report stated.

Joy RichardsonJoy Richardson is one of Langley’s un-

forgett able people. She has been a tireless campaigner for

the horse industry, going back to the days when she operated the Heritage Stables boarding facility in Aldergrove. She started that operation in 1969.

At the time, it was one of the largest horse facilities in Langley, which was not quite the “horse capital” that it is today. She has had a lot to do with helping it be-come the pre-eminent horse community in B.C.

She has become known as a person who gets things done by us-ing her power of persua-sion. Th e Spirit of the Horse Memorial Gar-den in Campbell Valley Regional Park is an example of that.

Langley City Councillor Gayle Martin, the longtime chair of the Metro Vancou-ver parks committ ee, related just how Joy uses that power of persuasion. At a trib-ute tea on Sunday, Martin recalled how she came home one day to fi nd Richard-son in her driveway.

Martin hadn’t met her before, but she soon found out about the horse garden and why it should be located at Camp-bell Valley park.

Many other politicians have also heard from her over the years. She has been a tireless campaigner for horse trails, bet-ter horse facilities and more recognition of the value of the equine industry to Langley’s overall economy.

One of Richardson’s pet projects was the Vicwood project, an equestrian-

themed development in South Langley on the former Border Sand and Gravel property. Th is was highly controversial in the late 1990s, and was the subject of an all-night public hearing in 1998.

While council approved the project, which would have extended sewers

down 200 Street to ser-vice it, it didn’t proceed because of the state of the real estate market. It has now been built as High Point, a stunning development of luxury homes, trails, a large equestrian facility and other amenities. In its own way, High Point is another one of her lega-cies, as she and others foresaw years ago that such a development would fi t well in South Langley, adjacent to

Campbell Valley. Richardson has now sold her South

Langley property and is living in White Rock. At the age of 86, she remains sharp as a tack and very interested in equine activities.

It was very fi tt ing that Langley Town-ship council honoured her with a cer-tifi cate of appreciation for all she has done for the Township. Mayor Rick Green presented her with the certifi cate on Sunday — and in turn, she gave him a laundry list of things she wants the Township to work on.

She was also honoured by Metro Van-couver Parks and the Pacifi c Parklands Foundation, which will now maintain the Spirit of the Horse Memorial Gar-den. A plaque in her honour will be placed there later this year.

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark’s shift ing posi-tion on the harmonized sales tax fi nally appears to have come to rest.

Her government is prepar-ing to “fi x the HST,” and the terms of that fi x will be made available before people mark their ballots in a mail-in vote in June, Clark told reporters at the legislature last week.

Th ere has been a fl urry of activity on the HST in recent days, and a few things are becoming clear. Clark and Finance Minister Kevin Falcon are preparing to do what I’ve been saying for months the government must do – make a solemn vow to cut the HST rate to 11 per cent as soon as they can.

And in keeping with Clark’s fondness for populist, headline-hunting gestures, the government will also likely rebate the HST on bicycles and bicycle helmets, and pos-sibly fi tness club memberships as well.

A couple of other “family-fi rst” exemptions may also be gleaned from the town halls, online surveys and polling that are currently going on.

A well-known polling fi rm was in the fi eld last week, ask-ing not only about people’s impressions of their new pre-mier and opposition leader, but also their view towards a reduction in the HST rate.

Win or lose the mail-in ref-erendum on the tax in June or July, the B.C. Liberals are gett ing ready for a fall general election.

Falcon estimates that cut-ting one point from the HST would cost the provincial trea-sury $850 million. Given that revenue from the HST is run-ning well ahead of the fi nance ministry’s estimates, that fi g-ure could be low.

Th e government’s indepen-dent panel issued its report last week, and it confi rms that the HST is bringing in more revenue than expected. Going back to the PST would not only trigger huge costs of paying back federal transition funds and reconstructing a provincial sales tax offi ce, it would cost the B.C. govern-ment more than $500 million in net revenue in the fi rst year, and more aft er that.

Here’s one reason why HST revenue is higher than originally projected. Contrary to the apocalyptic predic-tions of some in the restaurant industry, the panel compiled Statistics Canada fi gures and found that B.C. restaurant sales rose by three per cent in the fi rst seven months of the HST. Th at’s exactly the same increase as the rest of the country, despite the suppos-edly crushing eff ect of the tax and B.C.’s new impaired driv-ing regulations.

Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Minister Pat Bell has pitched in as a host for the telephone town hall program that continued this week. Th ese giant conference calls were to be staged Tuesday eve-ning in the Okanagan, Fraser Valley and northern and cen-tral Vancouver Island. Th e pro-gram wraps up Th ursday eve-ning with calls to Richmond, South Delta, the North Shore, Victoria and Vancouver.

Bell said his call for the Interior and North Coast had more than 30,000 people on the line. Some were still upset about the HST, while others had misconceptions about what costs it does and doesn’t increase, he said. And lift ing the tax from bicycles was a popular choice.

I continue to get e-mails from people who are misin-formed about the HST. One reader said he is paying it on heating oil. I suggested he check his bill again, and there it was, a rebate for the seven-per-cent provincial portion. Th e GST applied before and it continues to apply now.

Th ese telephone town halls have gone a long way towards putt ing the discussion on a factual basis. Voters may yet be persuaded to keep the HST.

In the news: “Generous” MP Pension Plan comes under fi re fr om taxpayers

By FRANK BUCHOLTZBlack Press

A groundbreaking ceremony last Saturday marked the start of construction on a South Langley residential facility for women dealing with addiction.

Th e Campbell Valley House of Hope Centre will be located on provincially-owned property at 460-216 Street. Wagner Hills Farm Society, which operates a similar program for men on its Aldergrove property, has operated a facility for women there for the past three years, using facilities formerly operated as the Chrisholme centre.

Housing Minister Rich Coleman, who is Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA, has a longstanding connection with the prop-erty. His wife Michelle at one time worked at Chrisholme, a facil-ity for developmentally-challenged adults and troubled teens. He sat on its board before he was an MLA.

Th e Chrisholme property was bought by the NDP govern-ment and sat vacant for years. Coleman said he told Fraser Health Authority to come up for a plan with the property, or he would lease it out. When no plan was forthcoming by the date he had set, he arranged to lease it for a 20-year period to Wagner Hills Farm.

While a great deal of work was needed to bring the buildings up to occupancy standards, it has now been in operation for several years. It is currently home to 14 women recovering from addictions.

As at Wagner Hills Farm, the women do farm work and engage in a series of classes and sessions to help the deal with addictions from a Christian perspective.

Plans also call for nine greenhouses to be built on the prop-erty. Th e province will pay $525,000 towards construction of the greenhouses. Similar greenhouses at Wagner Hills Farm have become a major portion of the farm work.

“Our community has always had a prett y big heart. As we transitioned into the new use of this property, people showed patience and understanding,” Coleman said. “Th is is the best investment we could make to change people’s lives. It’s helping people with mental health issues and drug addiction; it’s reunit-ing families and changing lives.”

Aboriginal Relations Minister and Langley MLA Mary Polak also took part in the groundbreaking with Coleman, Township Mayor Rick Green, Wagner Hills founder Wes Wagner and exec-utive director Helmut Boehm. She said the accomplishments at the House of Hope “are like a ripple in a pond — you don’t know where the end of it might go.

“You have helped the community to more broadly accept the facilities like this,” she said.

Boehm said that the new residential facility will be built with a great deal of donated materials and labour, which is the “way we have always done things at Wagner Hills Farm.”

Private donors are contributing $220,000 towards the new building, which will house another eight residents and also pro-vide a dining area and areas for support services.

Th e father of one resident has come down from Quesnel to volunteer to work on the facility, and parked his trailer on the property to be on hand for the work.

Green said “Wagner Hills Farm has done an excellent job of helping people at risk” by off ering counselling, life skills, training and support.

Several of the residents spoke about how being at the House of Hope is giving them a future.

“Coming into the light is like being rescued from the ocean aft er treading water for days,” one woman said.

Jasmine, a 37-year-old resident, said that “God is in a constant relationship with us, and we are in constant relationships with others.

“Life here is not a bed of roses all the time. We don’t always work well together but we do work it out together,” she said.

Editor: When I went to pick up the mail

at the post offi ce this aft ernoon I was dismayed to see that the out-side post box had once again been pried open and mail stolen.

Th e thieves went one step fur-ther this time, however — they also stole the closed circuit TV camera from inside the lobby where all of the post boxes are.

Th is has to be at least the fourth time, maybe even the fi ft h, in the past two or three weeks that the outside drop box has been pried open and yet there have been no public warnings about these theft s from Canada Post.

I don’t know why they don’t simply remove the drop box from outside of the post offi ce - mail is gett ing stolen and people are not

being notifi ed. Th e mail is picked up from that

box at 4 p.m., but the post offi ce doesn’t close until 5 p.m.

If you are going to drop off mail, the safest thing to do is to take your mail directly inside the building and hand it to a postal employee; that way it’s not sitt ing outside and vulnerable aft er hours.

Yes, this may be a small incon-venience, but wouldn’t you rather that your mail be safe instead of sitt ing outside waiting to be snatched by thieves?

As a further precaution, I would like to recommend to everyone that they make that quick trip to their community mailboxes every aft ernoon or early evening, de-pending on when your neighbour-hood mail is delivered, and ensure

that your delivery box is empty, giving thieves nothing to steal.

I also recommend that when-ever possible, you do not use the drop box at your community stop to send mail if your postal worker has already cleaned it out for the day - again, don’t give the thieves anything to steal.

If you see someone suspicious hanging around your community mailbox, note their appearance, jot down their car’s plate number if they’re driving, and report it to the police.

Th e only way to stop these thieves is to take away their op-portunity, let them know you’re paying att ention to what’s going on in your neighbourhood.

Th ey don’t like being noticed. Tami Quiring, Aldergrove

Mail theft becoming chronic

Editor: Painted toenails are a guilty plea-

sure. I don’t paint my fi ngernails, but as soon as the distant sun of spring weakly glows, I dig out my sandals and whip out the nail polish.

Such colours; navy blue, chocolate brown, rhubarb pink, lipstick red, each more lovely and enticing than the last. But there is more to this ritual than self-decoration. Painting

my nails acts as a sort of feminine version of the Farmer’s Almanac. When the chill days of autumn force me in to shoes and socks at last, I leave my toenail polish intact. And like football fans that refuse to shave until their team wins, I refuse to re-move the last coat of polish.

Instead, as autumn gives way to winter and the days shorten and darken, my toenail polish is

trimmed away a sliver at a time, like a seasonal measuring stick.

Only half an inch of winter left , now only a quarter inch till spring. It has never failed me yet. Punxsutaw-ney Phil wishes he were as accurate.

By my estimation, two more clippings and sandal weather will be here. Hurray, bring on the nail polish.

Glenda Penner, Aldergrove

Ritual of spring


With one exception, every major intersection on Fraser Highway from Langley City to Aldergrove is controlled with traffi c signals.

Th e one at 256 Street is not, and on Monday a local resident lobbied council to install lights at the rural crossroads.

Janet Ingram-Johnson came before council “pleading for common sense before someone gets hurt.”

Th ere is a fl ashing light above the intersection, but full signals and a crosswalk are needed, she said.

Ingram-Johnson noted that there is a bus stop east of the intersection, but no marked crosswalk or pedestrian light.

People have to run across Fraser Highway which has a single lane going east, and single westbound lane which widens to

two lanes at 256 Street.Noting that school buses

heading for Coghlan Elementary have to cross the road with-out the benefi t of traffi c lights, Ingram-Johnson said that at busy times of the day it is “diffi cult and dangerous” to cross Fraser Highway.

She sometimes must wait fi ve to 10 minutes to turn from 256 Street onto the highway, she told council.

Councillor Steve Ferguson agreed that the intersection “has been a problem for years.”

Ramin Seifi , head of com-munity development, advised council that signals would cost between $200,000 and $250,000.

Fraser Highway is a Major Road Network street and as such the Township would require TransLink approval for improve-ments, even if the transportation authority refused to pay for them.

Township Council asked staff for a report which will examine the justifi cation and cost for lights, turn lanes and a pedestrian cross-ing.

Th e report will also look at

traffi c warrants, an engineering study of traffi c conditions and characteristics such as pedes-trian movements, to determine if signals are justifi ed at a specifi c location.

256th intersection safety questioned

HARRY HUNT PHOTOA southbound pickup truck driver lost control when his vehicle caught in the soft shoulder of 272 Street and fl ipped into the ditch on the other side near 20 Avenue, Saturday afternoon about 4 p.m. There were no other vehicles involved and the driver’s injuries were not life threatening.

Recycle all plastics

Editor:I just received a door

hanger about recycling gar-bage. Th is is a fi ne step to-ward reducing the volume of garbage going to our land fi lls. Th is stuff is completely recyclable.

Plastic on the other hand is not good! Our blue box only excepts a few certain plastics and the remainder goes into land fi ll. Th e plas-tics with certain numbers is only a small amount when we consider all grocery items that are packaged in plastic. Th is includes vege-table bags, shrink wrapped containers, storage bags, plastic wrappers inside cardboard boxes; the list can go on and on.

You only have to look at your own garbage bin to count and see what I am talking about. Take out the recyclable stuff and what is left is plastic. Th e grocery stores only want their gro-cery bags returned.

When I was in the con-struction business and wanting to dump old insula-tion they wanted it doubled bagged. More plastic.

I have sent a note to Mark Warawa when he sent around the fl yer about Our Green Planet. Th is went to deaf ears. I also sent a note to the Township of Langley as well as Sierra Waste Ser-vices Ltd. Again, deaf ears.

Can anyone give me a rea-son why all food products cannot be packaged in recy-clable plastic? As well, why can’t all plastic be recycled? Don Stackhouse, Aldergrove

Something doesn’t add up in school mathEditor:While I applaud the Langley School

Board for trying to fi nd unique ways to solve the budget problem, I think they should have used grade 4 math skills to calculate the cost for our chil-dren.

Here are the numbers, gathered from the district offi ce and local pa-pers: number of students in Langley district as of the end of March (not

including international students) 18,550; potential dollars to be saved with the calendar adjustment: $225,000. Calculate the savings per student and it “potentially” adds up to $12.12 per student, or $2.02 per day.

My child, who will be in grade 11 next year, will have 10 minutes added onto his day. With four classes per day, he will have 2.5 minutes more

time spent in each class. Even the best teacher is challenged to teach a new concept in 150 seconds.

Th ere is no doubt that cuts have to be made somewhere but is this re-ally the best way? Th e simple math doesn’t seem to add up to me. Per-haps with the extra 150 seconds in math class, my son will be able to cal-culate a way for it to make sense.

By KURT LANGMANNAldergrove Star

A man who started out as an apprentice baker for Federated Co-operatives Ltd. (FCL) 22 years ago has risen to become the new general manager of one of their largest outlets.

Jack Nicholson took over the helm at Ott er Co-op in Aldergrove last month aft er for-mer GM Dean McKim was pro-moted to management at FCL’s head offi ce in Saskatoon.

Nicholson, his wife Perrianne, and their four children came here in January of 2010 when he took over as operations man-ager at Ott er Co-op. Originally from Kingston, Ontario, he had worked his way up in manage-ment at FCL outlets and offi ces in Alberta and Saskatchewan over the years and seized the opportunity to come here when

the posting opened up at Ott er Co-op.

“My wife has always wanted to live in B.C.,” said Nicholson.

And having the past year’s experience of working at Ott er Co-op “made it easier for me to step in and provide continuity when Dean was promoted,” said Nicholson.

“We have a good fi ve-year plan, the direction is set, and it’s a great team, they make me look good. We have a lot of long-term managers and that makes for sta-bility.”

Ott er Co-op has been aggres-sively expanding its operations throughout the Fraser Valley in recent years and Nicholson says this will continue.

In addition to its retail cen-tre on 248 Street in Aldergrove, Ott er Co-op has fi ve gas bars, a hardware and feed outlet in

Pitt Meadows, and they have an extensive dealer network sell-ing feed from their feed mill in Aldergrove.

“Th irty per cent of our feed sales are now on Vancouver Island, and we are looking for new opportunities on the north shore (of Fraser River),” says Nicholson. “Th ere are lots of opportunities for expansion.”

Currently underway is a pro-duce and convenience store along with a pharmacy in Abbotsford, at Yale and McMillan Roads.

And in the near future work will begin on a gas bar and convenience store along the Abbotsford-Mission Highway near Clayburn.

Th e co-op’s petroleum outlets have been one of their biggest growth areas in terms of volume, and have contributed mightily to their bott om line.

“Last year we beat our previ-ous sales record by $10 million,” says Nicholson.

“We have been really suc-cessful by sticking with quality, and we keep our assets in great shape.”

Promotions like their ongoing customer draw for a new Honda Civic will also be pursued. Th e fi nal draw for the winner will be made on June 5, and Nicholson says the contest has been a suc-cess in promoting their retail centre in Aldergrove. For every $50 spent in the retail store cus-tomers are given one entry in the draw.

“It’s our own in-store contest so it will be a local shopper who wins it; we’re very excited about that,” says Nicholson.

“We will have diff erent con-tests like it coming up for our dif-ferent locations.”

New GM plans bigger and bett er future for Ott er Co-op in valley

KURT LANGMANN PHOTOOtter Co-op’s new general manager Jack Nicholson says their Honda Civic customer contest has been so successful for their retail store that the co-op will be exploring other contests for their ever-growing business locations.

Exciting times here, indeedIt’s been an exciting week

what with hockey playoff s and the royal wedding, the wedding of the century they call it. Now it’s on to other things.

Th e Aldergrove OAP Hall is quite a busy place with cribbage on Mon-days, dances on Saturday aft ernoons, bridge on Fri-day nights, carpet bowling on Th ursdays, and on the fi rst Friday of the month is the OAP general meeting at 1:30 p.m.

Winners from last Fri-day’s bridge club were

Rose Mard-shall with the high score of 6430, Fran Cole-bank second with 6070, and Audrey Fawkes had a score of 6370 for third place.

C a r p e t bowling was s o m e w h a t disappoint-ing as only 10 came to play and two of these were visi-

tors from Winnipeg. Where are all our regu-lars? Per-haps Easter feasting got them down? We’ll soon be closing down for the sum-mer break so hurry on down, we need your

support.At the OAP Hall on Sat-

urday the Aldergrove Art Club held their annual spring exhibit and sale. It was a perfect opportunity to fi nd a painting, piece of pott ery or gift card for Mother’s Day.

At the Aldergrove Veter-ans and Seniors Club, the usual delicious dinners are provided by our cook, Scott . Drop in and check out the menu yourself, you’ll like it.

Th e summer sale is com-ing up and no doubt you are spring cleaning. If by chance you are wanting to downsize bring your items in for the upcoming club sale.

Th e Easter hat contest at the club was a success. Lou Martin got fi rst prize for

her hat and Flo Berg came second. Some excellent photos were taken and are on display.

Th e fi rst day of May was just too good to be true but the rains have sure been coming down since.

I hope you all got out to vote. It is your right so be sure to exercise it every op-portunity you get.

Here’s a story about three guys talking in a pub. Two

were bragging about the control they had over their wives and they turned to the third guy and asked what measures he’d taken.

“I’ll tell you,” he replied, “the other night my wife came to me on her hands and knees.”

“What happened then?” they asked.

“She said, ‘Come out from under the bed and fi ght like a man.’”

Black Press

Th e judges have spoken, and three young female singers have emerged victorious, as the fi rst annual Langley Has Talent contest wrapped up on Saturday night at Christian Life Assembly.

Tiff any Desrosiers took top spot in the contest — along with a $2,500 cash prize — for her rendi-tion of the Leonard Cohen classic Hallelujah in a night that included a wide mixture of song and dance styles, as well as covers of some old favourites and a few original tunes.

Pianist and singer Sarah Tummon took second place with her performance of Norah Jones’ Don’t Know Why and Fernridge resident Britt Bonshor played guitar and sang her way into the third spot with an original song, titled Breaking Free. Tummon and Bonshor each received a $250 prize.

Th e top 15 acts, chosen from 29 semifi nalists who performed on April 16, took the stage once again at CLA on April 30 to compete for $3,000 in cash and a trio of industry prize packages.

In addition to highlighting local musical talent, the contest — hosted by JRfm’s Bob Saye and presented by Langley’s four Rotary Clubs — served to raise funds for, and awareness of the need for a dedicated performing arts centre in Langley.

Following Desrosiers perfor-mance, judge Susan Jacks told the singer that she’d surprised the sea-soned recording artist.

“When you started, I didn’t know if you could handle it, but by the end, you blew me away. You’ve got a great set of pipes,” said Jacks.

Lissa Lloyd, owner of Lloyd Talent who also judged the semi-fi nals, praised the singer’s “clear and passionate” performance and “smokey” voice.

“Th ere was a tremendous layer of passion that I looked for last time, and it really came through tonight,” she said.

Th e night’s third judge, Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, echoed Lloyd’s sentiment.

“You had a breathy style to start out, but as you built up, you really brought out the passion in the song,” he told the singer.

Hearing her name called out in the top spot at the end of the night came as a complete surprise, said Desrosiers. “It was a wonderful feel-ing, and it could not have come at a bett er time,” she said.

“Th ey say it’s a hard industry, but until you’ve tried it for yourself (you don’t know). It can be very discouraging, and this (win) was a bump in the right direction.”

Th e 24-year-old singer has had Hallelujah in her repertoire for the past fi ve years, and knew it was a strong choice for the fi nal show. Two weeks earlier, during semifi nal competition, she took a bit more of a risk and sang a relatively new song — Adele’s Someone Like You.

“I was looking for a newer cover to do, and a couple of people men-tioned they thought it would suit my voice,” she said of her choice of song for the semis.

As the fi rst place winner,

Desrosiers had her choice of three prize packages. She selected one that includes studio time at both Blue Frog Studios and Shaw Cable.

Although she opted to sing covers for both performances, Desrosiers does write her own music as well, she said.

Currently, she is trying to get her independent solo CD some radio airplay and expects the pack-age she selected will help her to produce more new songs and to get her name and her music out to a wider audience.

Her new single High, can be heard on her website at tiff anydes-rosiers.com

Although she’s been performing for 15 years, Desrosiers admitt ed she still gets butt erfl ies before step-ping on stage.

“I can tame it more now,” she said. “I do stretches to release the (nervous) energy.”

“I was so impressed by all the other acts. I thought everyone brought something really special,” said Desrosiers.

“And I would like to thank all of the judges, volunteers, organizers, and the Rotary Clubs of Langley for sponsoring the event and for all their hard work.”

For 18-year-old Tummon, the competition off ered an opportunity to perform in public.

“It just really boosted my con-fi dence,” said the Grade 12 music major at Langley Fine Arts School.

Aft er singing Sarah McLachlan’s Angel in the semifi nal round (the same song she’d performed at her aunt’s funeral a year earlier) Tummon turned to another female singer-songwriter for her fi nals entry — Norah Jones’ Don’t Know Why — for her second place fi nish.

“Th e music really spoke to me. It’s so beautiful, and so is the imag-ery.”

Although she’s been play-ing since she was six, Tummon described herself as “a closet singer” until she was 13 or 14. “I was always a litt le bit shy,” she explained.

Nineteen-year-old Bonshor, meanwhile, began playing guitar at 15 in order to accompany herself at open mic nights, explained the singer-songwriter.

Like her song Seven which she performed for the contest semifi -nal’s, Bonshor’s third-place winning

song Breaking Free is an original piece, writt en about her own life experiences — specifi cally a night she was grounded by her dad when she wanted to go to a swing dance.

“It was snowing, but I snuck out in my dancing shoes,” said Bonshor.

Th e teenager made her way across a snowy paddock and to a nearby convenience store where her friend was waiting.

“When (my dad) saw my foot-prints in the snow the next morn-ing, he was more impressed than mad,” she laughed.

In addition to the contestants’ performances, the audience was treated to a short comedy act by Cliff Prang during intermission and a two-song acoustic set from coun-try star Aaron Pritchett following the competition, while the judges made their selections.

Th e singer, who makes his home in Aldergrove when he’s not on the road, told the crowd about his own involvement with talent contests, and how winning Project Discovery in 2001 helped to kick start his career. Far from being an end in itself, cautioned Pritchett , the com-petition is “a stepping stone to get them to that next level.

“It’s about what you do aft er winning the contest.”

Organizer Peter Luongo was delighted with the way the two con-certs — six months in the works — played out.

“I felt really good about it. Th ere were a couple of litt le glitches that are always going to happen,” he said.

“It’s very clear our community has a tremendous amount of tal-ent and it’s clear that talent needs a place where it can be shared,” he said.

Some people might agree with the judges’ choices, while others may not, Luongo said. But the end result is that it gets people talking about the arts — which is a huge victory in itself.

“It has created a bit of a buzz. It was cool to hear that buzz aft erward — ‘I’d have voted for this person.’

“Th e night was about raising awareness and starting a fund, and both those things happened.”

Th e Langley Has Talent fi nal competition will air on Shaw televi-sion on May 21 at 4 p.m. and again on May 29 at 2 p.m.

Head coaches are gener-ally their own team’s harshest critics, but Abbotsford Rugby Football Club women’s bench boss Dave Chambers couldn’t fi nd a single fl aw with his side’s performance on Saturday.

Th e Abby women’s domi-nance was comprehensive as they rolled over the Brit Lions 44-5 in the provincial Division 1 semifi nals at Exhibition Park.

“From my point of view, they did everything right that a coach could ask for,” Chambers enthused. “We had good control of the contact points, and as a result we were able to move the ball and put ourselves on the front foot as we att acked. Our defence was really good also.”

Th at six diff erent players scored tries was evidence of the Abbotsford side’s crisp ball movement.

Alicia Noger and Jerusha

Dunsmore notched two apiece, while Jen Ross, Megan Hamm, Steph McLean and Elyssa Phillipson added sin-gles.

Th e Abby women, the defending B.C. champs, had fi nished atop the Div. 1 regu-lar season standings at 7-1, but the Lions were the team that had handed them the lone defeat.

“Th ey tended to play a very tight game, with a lot of one-off runners from rucks,”

Chambers said, refl ecting on that loss. “Over the ensuing weeks, we worked very hard to be able to stop that, and to be able to produce our own balls so we could move it.”

Abbotsford moves on to face Kamloops in the B.C. fi nal on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. at Brockton Oval in Vancouver.

“Th at’ll be a tough, tough game,” Chambers predicted.

“Th ey’re very athletic, and they like to move the ball as well.”

and never looked back, on their way

to a 42-5 victory. With this win they

now play Kamloops at Brockton Oval on

May 14 for the cham-pionship.

Aldergrove Star

Th e fi rst week of playoff rugby had the Bett y Gilbert Middle School Raptors involved in two matches, fi rst against W.A. Fraser Middle on Tuesday, then against Walnut Grove Secondary on Th ursday.

Th e fi rst match was an up and down aff air. Th e tight fi ve forwards, comprising Jordan Spaan, Adam Newbigging, Kaedn Forrest, Clay Churchill and Colin Hopes, kept the Fraser defence constantly moving backwards, while Josh Desrosiers and Tom Sandberg in the centers forced the oppos-ing back line to make hard tack-les all game long. Th e Raptors favoured the right hand corner, with tries coming from Jake Th iel, then Ash Hott i, followed by Josh Th iel and a second Jake Th iel score.

A momentary loss of con-centration allowed the Fraser Falcons to score just before half, but the Raptors were justi-fi ed in the pride they took from 30 solid minutes of rugby.

Th e second half, how-ever, was a diff erent story. Th e Falcons, true to their name, came out fl ying, and the Raptors showed too much complacency in light of their lead, which was quickly cut to eight with a converted Fraser try, then to a single point with a second seven point Fraser score.

Th e lethargy shown by BGMS continued as Fraser completed the comeback with an unconverted try to take a 24-20 lead. BGMS fi nally showed the urgency exhibited in the fi rst half, and put sus-

tained pressure on their oppo-nents, which resulted in Josh Th iel notching his second try of the game, which he then converted. Fraser roared right back and put a valiant eff ort in at the Bett y Gilbert goal line, but the Raptors turned over a ruck and kicked for touch to end a thriller.

Th ursday’s game against the Walnut Grove Gators

was another exciting match. Illnesses and injuries saw the Raptors playing with only one player on the bench, and the starters playing positions unfa-miliar to them.

Bett y Gilbert Middle start-ed the game well, controlling possession and moving the ball wide for Sang Nguyen to open the scoring in the corner. Josh Th iel, with a thunderous

kick from the sideline, nar-rowly missed the conversion for a 5-0 Raptors lead. Walnut Grove answered back, their much larger forwards keeping the ball in tight and punish-ing Bett y Gilbert Middle with relentless phases of crashing play. Th ey marched the length of the fi eld and touched down to tie the game at 5-5.

Th e contrasting styles

would continue, with Bett y Gilbert moving the ball wide quickly and forcing the big-ger Gators squad to chase. Th e Raptors found a seam in the stretched-out Walnut Grove defence which allowed Ash Hott i to score. Josh Th iel made the conversion for a 12-5 lead, but again the Gators stormed back, their pack rambling down fi eld for a converted score of their own.

Th e second half saw more of the same, but this time it was Walnut Grove opening the scoring. Th e try went uncon-verted, so the Raptors were faced with a 5-point defi cit, but the superior fi tness and desire of the home team started to shine through.

Again using the width of the fi eld, Bett y Gilbert Middle moved the ball with alacrity, allowing Josh Th iel to punch in a try, which he converted. Th e Raptor pressure contin-ued, and Jake Th iel got the last of the Raptors’ tries, bulling his way over near the posts to put a bit of distance between the hosts and the visitors. Josh Th iel again converted for a fi nal of 24-17 in favour of the Raptors.

Already victorious as the champions of the Abbotsford league, the win secured the Langley Shield and a berth in the Fraser Valley Grade 8 tournament for Bett y Gilbert Middle School. Playoff rugby continues for the team next week as they host Banting Middle from Coquitlam to decide who enters the tourna-ment as the top seed from the Upper Fraser Valley division.

Langley boxers go 2-1-1 at ‘Clash 8’

Aldergrove Star

Th e eighth installment of the Clash @ Th e Cascade took place at the Coast Convention Centre May 6 and saw the locals go 2-1-1 in the amateur boxing show.

Th e main event saw the rubber match against rival Shawn McDonald of City Boxing and B.C. Welterweight Champion Jake Weitzel of Abbotsford. Weitzel took the title from McDonald six months ago and this was their third meeting. Both with wins under their belts and both as the result of split decisions, the third match was even closer than the fi rst two.

Th e back and forth fi ght was a split decision draw and was a result the fans and both corners seemed satisfi ed with. Weitzel keeps his 147 lb title and looks forward to dropping a few pounds and defending his 140 lb belt. Th is will take place at Clash 9, June 24, when #1 con-tender Akbar Qubar of Burnaby challenges Weitzel.

Langley resident and City boxer Darren Cooper, 25, fought a very game Jesse Isaacs, 19, of Chilliwack, in a middleweight contest that was back and forth all night. Th e split decision went to Cooper with the dissenting judge calling it a draw. Both sides have agreed to rematch the bout. Isaacs lost a point during the bout for spitt ing out his mouth guard several times. Th e point made the diff erence between Cooper’s win and the draw.

City Boxing’s Dustin Oster, 16, a Poppy student, had lost decision to Ibriham Ibriham, 1,6 of Vancouver’s Raw Academy, last March. Th e rematch was a much closer fi ght and some ringsiders thought Oster had done enough but the call went to Ibriham. Th is may have been the fi ght of the night; it was very even and well fought be-tween two boxers that boxed way over their heads.

Calup Weitzel of Abbotsford won a very close decision over Jonathon Dubois is what was a very exciting fan friendly fi ght. It was very close and evenly matched con-test. Marcos Andres of Sergeants Boxing was scheduled to box Att ila Kozak of Revolution. Kozak pulled out last minute without explanation and Chad Gerow stepped in. Veteran Gerow had too much experience for Andres, who was fi ghting for the fi rst time.

A very interesting exhibition was the match between Sharvin Soltani, 21, of Raw Academy, and Mat Andreatt a, 17, of City Boxing. Andreatt a gave up about 6-7 pounds, the age factor, not to mention the fact before Andreatt a had entered a boxing gym Soltani had achieved a B.C. Title and a Silver Medal at the Canadian Nationals. An-dreatt a showed well and if all goes well his trainer says he will fi ght Soltani this fall.

Since City Boxing has joined the Revolution fi ght team the club is 6-2-2 and head trainer Dave Allison says, “I can’t ignore the fact that being in this facility has helped our athletes. Th ere will be TYKE Boxing (8,9 & 10 years) next show as well as a high profi le women’s bout when Shayla O’Connor, 18, of Raptors Gym in Maple Ridge meets Darcy Nestor, 25, of Chilliwack, at 135 lb.

Some female boxers may start coming from Langley since Sarah Pucek is training a women’s only boxing pro-gram at Revolution.

Cranky’s Bike Fest promises something for all ages and riding levels, May 15Aldergrove Star

Trials Stars will launch a new look and shows for 2011 and will perform two shows for Cranky’s Bike Shop in Alder-grove on Sunday, May 15.

Jeff Anderson and Steve Dickin of Th e Trials Stars will share their new show with Aldergrove riders.

Th e Langley Mountain Bike Associa-tion and Cranky’s Bike Shop will pres-

ent Cranky’s Bike Fest on May 15 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Aldergrove Bike Park. Th is will be a great community event and will have something for rid-ers of all ages and abilities.

An LMBA membership is required for the bike skills clinics and is available at Cranky’s Bike Shop and other partic-ipating bike shops. Visit www.langley-biking.org for more information.

Bike trials is an individual sport that incorporates the use of a special bi-cycle which the rider must manoeuvre and balance on in order to complete specially designed artifi cial or natu-ral sections. As a team, each partner works together to explain the move the other is making for the audience, so they understand the objectives moving through sections with as litt le physical

contact with the ground as possible, hence obtaining minimum penalty points in competition.

“2011 is going to be a big year for us with shows booked all over the lower mainland, B.C. and Washington State,” said Dickin. “We’re open to more events, with a new message for our audience — bike safety and the health benefi ts of using a bike.”

Trials Stars are also announcing the launch of their new website www.tri-alsstars.com, including a new team look and logo for branding.

“Our plan is to share our skills and techniques manipulating a trials bike, to show our abilities to event spectators along with implementing a positive message to our audience,” said Ander-son.
