DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

For the first two weeks of his B.C. Supreme Court trial in New Westminster, 24-year-old Wes-ley Edward Kelemen watched while his lawyer fought to exclude certain evidence from his trial on a charge of aggravated assault in a Lang-ley attack that sent 29-year-old Tyler Willock to hospital with multiple fractures in 2009.

The double row of seats normally occupied by jury members were empty during the voir dire, a “trial within a trial” to determine what they will be allowed to hear.

That hearing wrapped up Thursday, June 23.The start of the jury trial was tentatively set

to begin Monday, June 27 but it has now been set for July 4.

Kelemen is one of two men who were arrested and charged following the beating of Willock at a residence in the 21000 block of 86 Avenue on March 8, 2009.

The other man, 24-year-old Albert Jacob Jack-man, pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated assault and one count of unlawful confinement at the start of the voir dire on Monday, June 13.

A third charge of assault with a weapon was dropped.

Jackman’s sentencing hearing was set for Friday, June 24, but it has been postponed to an undetermined later date.

Jackman is already in prison serving the lon-gest jail sentence possible under Canadian law, life with no parole for 25 years in the unrelated murder of another man, Langley resident Kyle Barber.

Well, the time has finally come. Cruise-In is back.

After being “closed for the season” in 2010, Cruise-In president Riccardo Ses-tito and his car fanatic team are bringing the Langley Good Times Cruise-In back to town on Saturday, Sept 10.

“The show is back rain or shine, and we’re not even skipping a beat,” Sestito said.

The 100,000 or so visitors who are expected can enjoy hundreds of hot rods, street rods and antique cars lining the streets of the Downtown Langley core, along with the great food, entertainment and shops that come with the package.

This year Cruise-In is proud to be sup-porting the Langley Stroke Recovery, Val-

ley Therapeutic Equestrian Asso-ciation and the Langley Memo-rial Hospital Auxiliary as its main charities.

Well over $1 million has been raised to support local charities since Cruise-In’s beginning in 1997. Organizers are excited to be able to bring this great fundraiser back to life.

And with a year off to reflect on Cruise-Ins past, some new changes are now being implemented.

Pre-registration of vehicles is now required, at a cost of $20, which will go to 2011 Cruise-In charity beneficiaries. This can be done either online, or by mail through print-out applications found on the website.

The organized Friday night cruise to the Twilight Drive-In in Aldergrove has also been suspended, to discourage unsafe racing actives that were staged in 2009 by an outside, unaffiliated group.

What will remain is a great show on Saturday and a swap meet on Sunday. New merchants, contests and performances

are being included to make the event better than ever before.

“We’re carrying on with the show and we want to hold the best show,” Sestito said.

The task now is to round up enough donations and sponsors to fund the event.

New land permit costs and belt tightening from previous sponsors are putting a strain on organizers. In past years, memorabilia and merchandise have been paid for in advance, but there is just no money in

the budget to do this for 2011. Sestito urges local businesses and large

companies to get involved with sponsor-ing this massive event in the City.

He says it is a great opportunity to get their name out to large crowds of people from across the continent, and is an opportune time to give back to the community through the local Cruise-In charities.

A welcoming ceremony will be held at 12:15 p.m. and guests can enjoy a slice of Canada Day cake, courtesy of the museum.

Next door to the Centennial Museum, the B.C. Farm Museum will be hosting its own Canada Day celebration. Visitors are invited to stop by the museum at 9131 King St. and take in some of the day’s celebrations, beginning at 10 a.m. with a flag

pole dedication and flag raising.Other highlights include bannock making demos,

a blacksmith shop, scavenger hunt, treats and oper-ating equipment displays. Events run until 3 p.m.

Visit www.bcfma.com to learn more.And just over the road, the Fort Langley National

Historic Site at 23433 Mavis Ave. is also doing its bit to mark the nation’s birthday, with events running from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Visitors can watch the citizenship ceremony, eat cake, and discover what type of explorer they are by taking part in Parks Canada’s Xplorers pro-gram.

There will be blacksmithing to watch, farm animals to meet and children’s activities to enjoy while taking in live musical performances. The fort is offering free admission on July 1. For more info, call 604-513-4777.

The Langley Canada Day cel-ebration takes place on Thursday and Friday of this week.

Langley has the largest two-day Canada Day celebration in the country. Last year, about 55,000 people took part in the event.

This year’s event will feature a wide variety of family activi-ties and entertainment. It takes place at McLeod Athletic Park, 216 Street and 56 Avenue. The event runs from 1 to 11 p.m. on Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday.

The event is free, but those who come are asked for dona-tions to help defray the costs. While the federal government and the City and Township provide some funding, it is not enough to cover all the costs. There is a separate charge for some activities, such as the amusement park area. Passes there are $20 for the day and allow for unlimited rides.

Among the events planned are pony rides, a canine flyball

show, bike demonstration by Tri-als Stars, mini-golf, and ongoing stage entertainment.

A playhouse built by Alder-grove Community Secondary students will go to the winner of

a colouring contest.Among the entertainment are

Elvis tribute artist Steve Elliott, a Patsy Cline tribute, Abba Cadabra, BaDD haBBits, a magic show by Trevor Walters and many other acts.

Fireworks will be set off both evenings at 10:30 p.m., which is part of Canada Day traditions across the country.

On Thursday and Friday, 56 Avenue will be closed west of 216 Street, from 2 p.m. on on Thursday and from 9 a.m. on Friday. The roads around McLeod Park will also be closed.

Parking will be available at the adjacent Langley Secondary and Christian Life Assembly parking lots.

Organizers of this year’s event are hoping for good weather, which has been a rarer com-modity than usual this spring and summer. Nonetheless, they promise that there will be lots to do for people who attend this year’s event.

ADVERTORIAL

Nanotechnology is the study of manipulating drug molecules helping them to target areas of the body diffi cult to treat. An example is brain cancer. The blood-brain barrier protects the brain from chemicals that may damage it. These chemicals could include anti-cancer drugs. Using nanotechnology, doctors can fool the blood-brain barrier into letting the treatment drugs through thus helping to treat the cancer.

More Canadians are choosing to buy organic fruits and vegetables. Health Canada has standards in place to ensure that products that are labeled “organic” are truly so. We spend $2 billion per year on organic foods and it continues to grow.

Aerosol inhalers are still very much used in the treatment of lung conditions like asthma. Often these inhalers are not shaken before use. If this isn’t done, the proper dose will not be received.

We keep hearing of the benefi ts that regular walking has on our health. To quantify the amount of walking, Alzheimers disease (AD) researchers showed that walking 8 km per week slowed the progression of the disease in AD patients and in those with mild cognitive impairment. This also works for those without an AD diagnosis by helping those areas of the brain responsible for memory.

There is so much research being done in the treatment of so many diseases. Our pharmacists work hard to keep current on what’s new in the world of drug therapy.

MIRANDA GATHERCOLETimes Reporter

As Bruce Lee walked up to the front doors of White Spot, he knew he had to walk in a new person. He hadn’t worked in 15 years, and was desperate for a job.

“I remember going into the interview, saying to myself ‘don’t talk about the drugs, don’t talk about your weird family situation, leave those things alone,’” he said.

Other employers wouldn’t take a second look at him. If it wasn’t the fang-like nubs in his mouth — the remainder of what teeth he once had, it was the criminal record that did him in.

“Even though I had cleaned up my life and turned my life around, it was still impossible to get a job,” Lee said.

But as he and Langley White Spot manager Shelley Lemmen were speaking, they began to bond.

“We hit it off so well, we started really talking with each other,” he said.

The secrets spilled out. Lee told her about his past. Of the drugs, the crime, the mistakes, the recovery, and the new life he was beginning.

Despite his extensive criminal record and recent release from the Maple Ridge Treatment Centre, Lemmen saw something in Lee, and decided to give him a second chance. She hired him on the spot.

That was five years ago. Today, Lee, 45, is a recovered drug addict and a new

family man, holding two steady jobs and helping to raise seven children.

It’s a far cry from his lifestyle 15 years ago. Born and raised in Ontario, Lee has always been

open with his sexuality and came out as a gay man in high school. He moved to Victoria in his 20s, where he lived for five years, and finally settled in the West End of Vancouver.

And so the lavish lifestyle started.

The parties, the alcohol, the sex and the drugs began to take over Lee’s life.

“Back when I was young, there were no gay baseball leagues, no gay bowling leagues, no gay parades, no gay churches, there were only gay clubs. That was your choice,” he said.

“It was a party lifestyle that slowly but surely took over my life. And in the gay scene at that time coke was very prevalent, and that’s just the way it was. “

He began by “doing lines” on weekends, which quickly escalated to three or four times a week, to

every day of the week. Eventually cocaine wasn’t enough, and crystal meth filled the void.

By this time, both Lee, and his life partner Al, had stopped working and had become full-time drug dealers to support their habit. Together they did crystal meth for 12 years, after many previous years of using cocaine and other narcotics.

“I never lost any jobs because of drugs. But when I chose to quit working eventually, because the drugs took over and I started making money off of them, that was the big mistake. That was the biggest mistake of the mistakes,” he said.

Lee was in and out of jail, and more or less homeless.

Life was happening in an instant and drugs were constant. But no matter what happened, there was always just enough money for the next fix.

Going clubbing and then to after parties seven nights a week was the norm.

Lee and Al became “celebrities” of sorts in the West End.

With friends and contacts all over they were never banished to the streets.

Natasha JONES/Langley TimesBruce Lee works at White Spot, the Langley restaurant which helped him get back on his feet after struggling with cocaine and crystal meth addiction.

Fresh thinking... fresh start

It was a different bed every week and a different apartment storage locker to stash their drugs every month.

“Because we were a gay couple we knew all the gay guys and we knew all the street kids too, they were friends of ours. And so we knew all the different scenes to use in the West End,” Lee said.

“We never made a ton of money because we were too generous and too easy going and we got taken advantage of by just about everybody. The only way to make money off of selling drugs is to not do them. That’s the only way.

“As soon as you start using, you end up messing up your mind and you don’t make the right decisions.”

Some nights, when there was nowhere else to stay, Lee and Al would camp out in one of their many drug storage lockers.

Arriving there late at night and leaving early in the morning, it was a safe place to hide. However one night they were taken by surprise when the police showed up, arrested them and threw them in jail. Lee says this was the one time he really got in trouble with the law. This time, he had to stay in jail and serve real time. He was there for 10 weeks.

“I don’t know what to say about what it was like in there. It sucked. It’s weird.

“Everybody is the same. They dress you all the same, they all have the same haircut. Nobody is their individual self in jail, they’re all just one of them. And they do that to break your spirit. And it makes sense,” he said.

But little did Lee know, this was the saving grace he needed.

Because he had been in and out of jail many times, he was offered a chance to go to the Drug Treatment Court of Vancouver, a program used to try criminals that act out of addiction rather than as a result of organized crime.

Accordingly, Lee’s sentence was reduced to time served in lieu of supervised drug treatment.

Lee was able to choose his own progress in how he wanted to quit doing drugs. He started by cutting his regular usage in half after one month, then cutting that amount in half after two more weeks, then cutting that in half again after another two weeks until the drugs were cut out altogether. It took Lee three months to remove the drugs from his life.

He then went into detox and enrolled in the Maple Ridge Treatment Centre.

While completing an eight-week program there, he worked

with counsellors and therapists to ensure that the drugs were out for good. The program starts with a graduation ceremony for the group that is leaving that day, to give the participants inspiration and sight of the goal they are there to achieve.

The participants then take part in group sessions every day, where they can discuss their personal stories with other drug users. Daily sessions with counsellors also help to provide the confidence and guidance recovering addicts need to stay clean.

After a four-week period, visitation is allowed. House members can leave for a day to see loved ones. Lee went to visit his partner Al, who got clean six months earlier, and stayed with Al’s ex-wife and her family in Langley.

It was here that Lee was offered the chance to truly start a new life. The family urged Lee to move in with them once he completed the treatment program to keep him away from downtown Vancouver and away from the drugs. They did not want him falling back into that cycle.

“It was the best move I have ever made,” said Lee. “They kept me from going back downtown to the heart of where I probably would have ended up back into my addiction.”

Lee has now been clean for five years and is living with his partner, Al’s ex-wife and her seven children.

Life now revolves around picking up the kids from school and serving customers at his restaurant jobs, not dealing drugs or going to after parties.

He has new teeth from the dental plan offered to him at White Spot, and can once again smile without lowering his top lip to cover his gums, and laugh without covering his mouth with his hand.

“Praise the Lord, thank you to White Spot for getting me teeth because it completely changed my sense of feeling of security and everything,” he said.

He is also forever grateful to Shelley Lemmen for giving him that chance to be honest with his past and move forward with a steady job.

“Shelley is an amazing woman and kudos to her for giving me the opportunity to prove myself. Because a lot of places wouldn’t even let me through that front door,” he said.

Lee has even had a resurgence of faith, joining the Lighthouse of Hope Christian Fellowship (formerly Rainbow Community Church) in Vancouver.

“One thing that they tell you in recovery is that you’re not supposed to go back into communication with your old community, you are supposed to cut it off and walk away from it,” said Lee.

“And this gave me the opportunity to be in communication with my old community but in a safe environment where I am clean, and I can be an inspiration and supportive to these people that I was hanging out with a year or two earlier.”

But what Lee sees as one of the largest inspirations in his life is

raising Al’s ex-wife’s youngest son.“My youngest was born three

months after I moved in. And I never, even before the drugs, imagined I would be living in the suburbs with a family and a house full of kids.

“That was just never part of the picture. But being there since birth and being able to raise him has been the biggest blessing. I can’t even go on about how amazing it is,” he said.

Lee makes sure to count his blessings everyday and now believes there is a God looking over him.

“I feel very fortunate because Al and I used crystal meth for 12 years. And I saw so many people over this time come in and get so messed up in months, never mind years, and totally f*** up their lives. And

it’s because crystal meth really preys on the brain. But I always seemed to have, even if it was just my pinky finger, something based in a sense of grounding. I wouldn’t let myself go to total abandon. Somehow I always managed to keep it together.”

Despite the rough road he has travelled, in hindsight Lee says he would not have done it any other way.

“As much as it was crazy, I don’t regret any of it because without it I wouldn’t be here,” he said.

“The jail part I could have done without, but other than that it’s part of the lessons I’ve learned. And if it hadn’t been for jail, I would have never been offered the drug court program. So in the long run, some of those experiences turned out to be good for me because here I am today.

“And it’s amazing. I am very fortunate.”

He and Al made it out on the other side together, which Lee says is both “a miracle and a blessing.”

“I always seemed to have, even if it was just my pinky fi nger, something based in a sense of grounding.”

WE SAY

A good appointment

The federal government is expected to announce that former B.C. premier Gordon

Campbell will be Canada’s next high commissioner to Great Britain (in other words, the ambassador).

While this has caused some snarky comments in B.C., where Campbell’s popularity remains on par with a snake’s belly, this is a good appointment.

Campbell served as B.C. premier for nine years, and was the first premier since Bill Bennett to win three consecutive terms in office. He did so during some challenging times. When he assumed office in 2001, the B.C. economy was coming out of a recession and badly needed a shot of confidence. When he stepped down earlier this year, the economy had weathered another recession, although it may not weather the fury over the HST, which cost Campbell his job and may well cost his party the government.

While he obviously blew it with the HST on many levels, Campbell’s overall track record on job creation, economic development, infrastructure, the 2010 Winter Olympics and debt management was quite good. Perhaps most importantly, he is a visionary — he isn’t afraid to think differently, and while he sometimes gets off base, he often has the ability to see a new approach to a problem.

The former premier has a good reputation among those he worked with over the years, from cabinet ministers to fellow premiers and the prime minister. He worked very well with the federal government on many issues. He wouldn’t have been asked to do this job if the current Conservative government didn’t see something he can bring to it.

He joins former Manitoba premier Gary Doer (a former NDP premier, in fact) as an ambassador. Doer was named ambassador to the United States by the Stephen Harper government in 2009.

While those who are upset with the BC Liberals may not like this appointment, they need to look beyond provincial politics. Campbell is a capable individual who will represent Canada very well in the U.K., which remains a very important trading partner and one of Canada’s major allies in Europe. It is also home to our system of government and the Royal Family, who remain strongly linked to Canada.

He is a deserving candidate for this appointment. It is very significant that a former B.C. premier will take up this important post.

THEY SAY

One step ahead of oblivion

MPs debated back-to-work legislation into the wee hours of the night, and postal

workers were finally forced back to work Sunday.

While many (particularly CUPW members) are outraged at the “bullying” government tactics, this could be a necessary step to save Canada Post.

Or is it too late?Even before the lockout, the

prospect of mail had been shelved in many households.

E-mail obviously took over from sending a friendly letter in the mail long ago for many of us. Internet billing has become the norm.

It’s not the case for everyone, but many have adapted the paperless trail.

Therefore the amount of mail going into the system has obviously decreased.

Then the postal lockout happened.Utility and service companies have

taken the opportunity to get more customers online with bill payments and mass e-mails have been sent out.

With the loss of the beloved Canada Post service and in a panic to get their bills paid and avoid penalties, some customers were forced to turn to paperless.

Environmentally it also makes sense – less paper. Efficiency is also a bonus, since mailing a bill can take anywhere from a few days to longer, depending on where you’re sending it.

Then there’s the issue of trust. Some people may start swearing off snail mail simply because their once-trusted service has let them down with this latest interruption.

Therefore, and ironically, fewer customers are likely to cause some cuts at Canada Post. It was time to get back to work for the good of everyone involved.

The strawberry season has begun — far later than usual, which isn’t surprising, consid-

ering the continuing cool weather.When the season begins, it

always takes me back to one of my first jobs as a young person, and probably one of the toughest jobs I’ve ever had. The job was strawberry picking.

When I was in Grade 8 or 9 (possibly both years), I picked strawberries in the area of Langley that some people still know as Sperling. It was at the time The Beatles came out with “Strawberry Fields Forever,” and it sure felt that way.

Sperling remains a good area for growing strawberries, and the large Driediger Farms oper-ations are located there.

Strawberry picking began in the second week of June or so. That’s usually when the berries ripened, after a combination of rain and some warming weather, combined with very long hours of daylight.

In those days, most of the pickers were high school students like myself, and housewives. Many women with children at home only worked part-time outside the home, and often took advantage of seasonal jobs like picking strawberries, raspberries, pole beans, cucumbers and other crops.

In earlier days, many people also picked hops — not in Langley, where there were no hop farms, but in Chilliwack and Agassiz. My dad picked hops as a young man with his family. They travelled from Surrey to Chilliwack and stayed on the hop farms for some time, until the crop was harvested.

My memories of strawberry picking aren’t too positive. For starters, it was very hard to stay

hunched over for most of the day. I found it hard on my back, which got very stiff.

Secondly, it wasn’t easy to pick the berries. While there were plenty on each plant, at that time we were supposed to try and pick them so

that the stem wasn’t attached to the berry. That wasn’t easy. I never really did master it.

The third challenge was to avoid the tempta-tion of eating the luscious berries. I was talk-ing about this with another veteran of Langley strawberry fields the other day, and we both agreed that we probably ate as many berries as we picked.

While the beries tasted good, we didn’t get paid for the ones we ate. Nor did the farmer, for that matter. That may have had something to do with the minimal amount of money we made for picking them.

Strawberry pickers were paid by the flat. A flat was 12 good-sized baskets of berries. For those who picked from the beginning of the season right through to the end, they made between $1.20 and $1.40 per flat. For those like me who found it hard to keep doing the work every day (and couldn’t get a ride there every day either), we were paid $1 per flat.

I may have managed to pick four flats in a day, but I doubt it. I think I usually picked two to three flats a day — so made $3 or so for about eight hours work. It was a very tough way to make money.

The good thing about picking strawberries is it helped me to greatly appreciate other jobs. Other farm work I did in later years was far better — I thoroughly enjoyed many of those jobs. And I’ve appreciated every other job I’ve had as well.

Polak’s letter filled with misinformation

HST has hurt her business

Motion was simply part of doing Township businessEditor: In the June 17 edition of The

Times, there was a letter from Sonya Pater-son which raised a huge question of integ-rity. Is this the beginning of her campaign for the next election?

Paterson states there is a time for cam-paigning and a time for compassion. My guess is that her name will be on the November ballot, and she is taking this opportunity to start her campaign by mis-construing facts, while attempting to get public opinion on her side albeit through a sympathy letter to the papers.

For this reason alone, if her name does

appear on the November ballot, she will not receive my vote. Her letter claims that this is not a time for political gain, and yet in my opinion, that is the sole purpose of her letter.

In her letter, she berates Councillor Charlie Fox for his timing in bringing for-ward this notice of motion: “That council request an update from the RCMP on the investigation concerning the mayor.” Between the time he brought forward the notice of motion (May 30) and the time this motion was returned to council ((June 13), it has been reported that there was an

illness in the mayor’s family. Apparently because Councillor Fox couldn’t foresee this happening, he has no compassion.

How would anyone have the foresight to know there would be an upcoming illness and second, why should that be a reason not to conduct the business of the Town-ship? I recall that Councillor Fox himself went through a very serious operation, but that did not stop the business of the Township. Does that mean there was a lack of compassion for him amongst Township council? No, it means they continued to do what they were elected to do.

I support Councillor’s Fox motion because I know that I would like to see a conclusion to the investigation of the mayor prior to the next election, to help me in my voting decisions. While I sympa-thize with the mayor’s family situation, I can’t accept that as a reason not to follow through on this.

This is a time-sensitive issue due to the election only being only five months away. I appreciate the fact that Councillor Fox realizes this.

Editor: I strongly disagree that the HST helps to grow all small businesses. I am a Regis-tered Massage Therapist.

We have always had to charge five per cent GST to patients, but with the inception of HST, we had to add another seven per cent to our treatment costs. What this means is the one-hour massage has $10 of tax in its price. For many patients, this increase has become too much and they have cut back on how often they can receive treat-ments, if at all.

Many of my patients are in chronic pain and massage is their only effective way of pain relief. Many need to

have a treatment on a weekly basis.

What the HST has meant to them is that they have to pay an additional $305.76 annually.

Registered Massage Therapy is just one of the things consum-ers are paying more for, now that we have HST. By the way, overall, consumers are paying more taxes on 20 per cent of items that they just used to have to pay GST on.

That adds up to a lot of money, and the rebate cheques do not cover it entirely, and only a small amount of people even receive those cheques.

Along with losing patients who cannot afford the extra

amount in taxes that the HST has imposed, I have also had to do a self-inflicted wage freeze on my own income. There is not a chance that I can increase my prices so I can benefit and put more in my pocket. The market will not stand for it.

Unfortunately, the govern-ment’s pockets are deeper than mine and they need to be filled first. I will be voting “yes” to extinguish the HST. The tax on Registered Massage Therapy will go back to only five per cent, and my patients can return and get the health care they need and deserve.

Editor: I am writing in response to the letter that Mary Polak, MLA for Langley wrote (The Times, June 22).

The second sentence infers that we are currently paying 10 per cent HST, when in fact we are paying 12 per cent HST. This is equivalent to saying “yes” to getting rid of it, which will return our taxes to five per cent GST and seven per cent PST, which according to my math is 12 per cent.

The very next sentence refers to all the “misinformation” that is out there on this subject. She has in fact misinformed your readers with her statement that we should be keeping the 10 per cent HST.

The HST will not go to 10 per cent until 2014. I would venture to say that when that year comes around, the Liberal govern-ment will find some reason why they have to backtrack on that promise. We will prob-ably be faced with an increased HST, rather than a reduced one.

The ads that are currently running on TV

and radio also refer to the fact that we are currently paying 10 per cent HST, which is false advertising because it is a blatant lie. It is unfortunate that the government assumes that we are all stupid and do not see through their deception.

I will be voting “yes” in the referendum because it would be much better for people in B.C. to go back to the old tax system, because we would not be paying tax on items that we did not pay on before, but do now with the HST. When Gordon Campbell and the then-finance minister announced the HST, they indicated that if we did not pay GST on an item we would not be paying HST on that item.

That too was a lie — the HST has been applied to everything we paid PST on before, and that means we now pay GST on items that were not GST taxable before.

Polak also states in her letter that Bill Vander Zalm is providing misleading infor-mation, claiming that by ending the HST

the average family will save money. Of course, we will save money, because we will no longer be paying GST on items that we now pay HST on. Do the math people — she is misleading you.

How can she say that they have changed the HST, when in fact it is still 12 per cent. Their plans calls for it to go to 11 per cent in 2012 and 10 per cent in 2014.

They seem to think they are doing everyone a big favour by sending out cheques for $175 for each child under 18 — that hardly seems fair given the amount of extra tax those very same families are paying now. How do they calculate that the average family will save $120 per year with the HST compared to the old system? Just about everything is taxable now, but under the old system there was no GST on a lot of products the average family buys.

She also states that Vander Zalm isn’t tell-ing people what will happen if we return to the old 12 per cent GST plus PST sys-

tem? Then she states that this is a choice between a 10 per cent HST (in the future) and a 12 per cent PST plus GST. Sounds like she is a bit confused.

The PST in B.C. is only seven per cent — is she inferring that if we kill the HST that the government intends to increase the PST by five per cent to be able to collect money to repay the federal government the $3 billion that she claims it will cost us to get rid of the HST?

I thought the federal government gave the B.C. government $1.6 billion in return for this huge tax grab. Did I miss some-thing?

Do not be fooled by the Liberals and their fast talk. They are doing no one any favours. Who is trying to confuse whom here? It looks like Polak is more confused than anyone else.

I am tired of the lies.A. Crawford,

Langley

Editor: Routley school lands are under threat. MLAs Rich Cole-man and Mary Polak must step in and put a stop to the sale. Routley children attend schools that are so overcrowded the kids can only play outside on alternat-ing days. The temporary dip in enrolment ended in 2007, and the echo boom is upon us.

This government insists that school districts “bring money to the table” if they want funding for new schools, forcing them to sell lands. These “partnerships” are an unprecedented unsustain-able business model.

Capital funding for public educa-tion was $450 million in 2000, and $140 million by last year. Seventy-

nine schools have been sold off across B.C. since 2001.

Education Minister George Abbott is ignoring the morato-rium on school lands sales at Routley. Everyone has a part to play: Trustees must advocate for more funding and refuse to sell lands; municipal councillors must refuse to rezone and stick to their Official Community Plans.

Rather than forcing land sales through funding cuts, Abbott, Coleman and Polak must embrace their stewardship role and build a new school at Rout-ley. The future of public educa-tion depends on them.Jessica Van der Veen, founder,

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

After 14 years in Langley, José Figueroa is thinking about mov-ing.

The married father of three lost his job after he took his son on a two-month cross-country trip to raise public awareness about his fight to stay in Canada since he was ordered deported.

Now, Figueroa says he and his family are being supported by his older sister while he tries to find another job.

He has over 10 years experi-ence working in a warehouse, but he will consider anything at this point.

“We are in a really bad situation,” Figueroa says.

“We need to survive this period.”

He says he has not applied for Employment Insurance benefits because he is worried about being viewed as a “burden” on society, something that could hurt his appeal of the order deporting him to his native El Salvador.

His wife has not worked since 2002 when their son José Ivan was diagnosed autistic.

Figueroa says he is considering a move to Manitoba because it appears he might be able to get public health care coverage for his son, unlike B.C. where he was refused.

“I have to do what’s best for the family,” Figueroa says.

During his tour, he says he dis-covered that different provinces

have different approaches to peo-ple who have been refused Cana-dian citizenship but have appealed the ruling.

And Winnipeg has a large Salva-doran community.

The father of three Canadian-born children is fighting to remain in Canada after he was ordered deported back to his native El Salvador for belonging to the left-wing Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN), a group linked to violent acts against the regime that ruled El Salvador dur-ing the civil war between 1980 and 1992.

Even though Figueroa was a student who associated with the

nonviolent wing of the FMLN, the law says a person is inadmissible to Canada if they are found guilty of “...being a member of an orga-nization that there are reasonable grounds to believe engages, has engaged or will engage [in] the subversion by force of any govern-ment ...”

The FMLN has since become the government of El Salvador after winning a democratic elec-tion.

Figueroa has been told it will be seven to nine years before there is a ruling on his application to the ministry of public safety for “min-isterial relief” that would allow him to remain in Canada.

Father fighting deportation may move to Manitoba

Langley Times file photoJosé Figueroa, who is facing deportation, is unable to find work in Langley. He is appealing his deportation, which could take seven to nine years for a ruling on his application.

Here are a few items that didn’t make the daily

news cycle as B.C. resi-dents prepared for the long-awaited summer of 2011 to begin.

• After her meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Ottawa last week, Premier Christy Clark delivered a luncheon speech to the Eco-nomic Club of Toronto.

Her big talking point for the speech was the rise of the Asia-Pacific region, “the fastest-growing middle class in the history of human-ity.” The theme ran through her pitch to the federal government for a share of Ottawa’s largest-ever shipbuild-ing contract, and her recent meeting with western premiers in Yellowknife.

No word on how Clark’s enthusiasm for the west as Canada’s economic engine of the future went over with the Bay Street crowd.

• After the speech, Clark took the wheel of a Chevy Volt electric car for a spin around Toronto with a GM Canada vice-president riding shotgun. She pronounced the car “fantastic technology.”

This is pertinent as B.C. residents get ready to pay the lat-est increase in B.C.’s carbon tax. Effective July 1, the tax on a litre of gasoline rises from 4.45 cents to 5.56, with comparable increases to other carbon fuels.

Clark has inherited Gordon Campbell’s aggressive climate change-clean energy agenda, and it’s not yet clear what will become of it. She has committed to the last consumer carbon tax increase in 2012 (up to 6.67 cents on a litre of gas), but the fate of the big hydroelectric push remains uncertain.

Those plug-in electric cars need to start selling before Campbell’s gamble of developing increas-ingly costly electricity starts to pay off. One potential competitor is natural gas-powered vehicles, taking advan-tage of huge new shale gas discoveries in B.C. and elsewhere.

• Campbell’s pend-ing appointment as Canada’s high commis-sioner in the United Kingdom should warm the hearts of conspir-acy theorists.

The story broke when Clark was in Ottawa, and when reporters asked for her take on the appoint-ment, her first com-ment was that he’ll be a big help in negotiat-ing free trade with the European Union.

Students of Bill Vander Zalm will know that he sees the harmonized

sales tax and EU trade as an effort to impose world gov-ernment

and set B.C.’s sales tax rate in Europe.

Early in his goofy anti-HST campaign, Vander Zalm claimed this was plan B for world govern-ment after the conspira-tors failed to impose a global carbon tax.

If the HST is a con-spiracy, it’s a mighty big one. Finance Minis-ter Kevin Falcon never tires of reminding peo-ple that 140 countries already have value-added taxes, including China and those other Asia-Pacific tigers that are dominating the world economy.

• Douglas College in New Westminster and the Heilongjiang Institute of Science and Technology in Harbin, China have celebrated the graduation of 137 students in their dual-degree business admin-

istration program.The program began

in 2003, with an exchange of instruc-tors. At the Harbin cam-pus, students take 52 courses to qualify them as specialists in global financial markets and international banking.

• By last year, there were 94,000 interna-tional students in K-12, post-secondary and language schools in B.C. According to the advanced education ministry, if considered an export service, inter-national education is B.C.’s fifth largest export, accounting for seven per cent of exports from the province.

Meanwhile in B.C., discussion of interna-tional trade still tends to revolve around lumber and logs. And according to a recent poll, Vander Zalm is still considered by many to be an authority on trade and taxes.

It’s time to join the world’s adult conversa-tion.

NATASHA JONESTimes Reporter

The Gummy Bears of Gordon Greenwood Elementary have earned top marks as students who can not only read, but understand the books they read.

The Gummy Bears, students in Grades 4 and 5, excelled in the Reading Link Challenge, a con-test sponsored by the Fraser Val-ley Regional Library. They were required to read a selection of novels and compete in a trivia contest which tested their recall of minutiae in those assigned books.

And they accomplished this in a thoroughly modern way, read-ing e-books.

The school fielded dozens of participants in nine teams. The Gummies became the intramural competition winners, went on to win first place in the Langley District Reading Link Challenge, then the regional finals where they finished first among 266 schools.

This achievement allowed them to continue on to the Global Challenge round where they competed against three

other top teams from Seattle and Coquitlam.

“Our Gummy Bears shone again, making only two errors in the competition and narrowly missing becoming the winners of the Global Challenge,” said Gordon Greenwood teacher-librarian, Lydia Gennai.

All students who took part in the RLC did so voluntarily, she said, applauding their participa-tion.

“They are to be commended for their efforts. The Gummy Bears have gone on to perform nothing short of brilliantly in the next three levels. We are extremely proud of their signifi-cant achievement,” she said.

At a special assembly laswt month, the trophy for the Fraser Valley Challenge was presented by Langley City Mayor Peter Fass-bender, who chairs the Fraser Valley Regional Library board.

Fassbender told the children how important reading was to his children as they were grow-ing up, and how reading is being reinforced in his grandchildren.

Gennai said that Reading Link motivates the vast majority of middle grade students. She

added that about 90 per cent of eligible students take part.

The Gummies used e-readers and, she added, both conven-tional books and electronic ver-sions enhance reading and lit-eracy among students.

The Grand Final Challenge between the Fraser Valley teams occurred in April at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Lan-gley, where the gold medalists were the Gummy Bears.

The finals for the Global Read-ing Challenge were held at Uni-versity of the Fraser Valley. After a series of in-school challenges, the grand challenge for the Fraser Valley Region, the Gummy Bears and the Speed Readers II from Panorama Heights Elementary in Coquitlam, were the champions from 105 schools, 443 teams and 3101 students in Grades 4 and 5. These two teams challenged two others from Seattle.

The four finalists were ques-tioned on their knowledge and retention of four books, Alvin Ho: Allergic to Camping, Hik-ing and other natural Disasters; Number the Stars; Riding Free-dom and the Watsons go to Bir-mingham-1963.

Kwantlen Polytechnic Univer-sity’s public relations graduate and faculty member Amelia Ken-nedy recently returned from Croa-tia, where she spent two weeks sharing her Canadian experiences and expertise with students at the University of Dubrovnik.

After turmoil in the 1990s, Cro-atia has energetically focused on rebuilding areas such as tourism and their educational systems. The University of Dubrovnik

specializes in undergraduate and graduate programs in public rela-tions studies.

“Teaching in another coun-try and providing knowledge to future PR professionals was truly an experience of a lifetime,” said Kennedy.

“The students were incred-ibly engaged and interested in the Canadian content presented. They loved learning more about PR in Canada.”

Kennedy graduated from the Kwantlen public relations pro-gram in 2002, and has worked and taught at Kwantlen since 2005. She also founded Crosspoint Commu-nications, which she has owned and operated since 2007.

As a result, she didn’t need to go far for content. Lecture topics included social media, internal communications, crisis commu-nications, event management and media relations.

Women from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints spent many hours on June 11 organizing and preparing gift baskets to donate to Ishtar Transition Housing Society.

Ishtar is a Langley-based organization devoted to ending the cycle of abuse in the home.

Once women are able to leave the transitional housing facilities, and establish a home of their own, they are given a laundry basket full of items needed to clean and maintain a home.

The Relief Society of the LDS church is one of the oldest and largest women’s organizations in the world.

As its name suggests, its purpose is to seek out and bring relief to those in need, whether that need be physical, spiritual or emotional. Its motto: “Charity never faileth,” is what inspires and motivates these women to reach out to those around them, said Jessica Jahn, the Relief Society’s activities co-ordinator.

When she learned more about Ishtar’s cause, Jahn was moved to do something supportive, and the Relief Society members were anxious to contribute.

The women’s activities on June 11 brought to an end months of gathering donations from the women each Sunday, bringing

them home, keeping count of the items, and creating lists of what was still needed.

“From the very beginning, there has been a wonderful response, and each week bags of items were brought to church,” she said.

In the end, the women were able to gift wrap 12 laundry baskets, overflowing with essential household items valued at more than $100.

On June 13, the baskets were delivered to Ishtar offices in Langley, along with dozens of garbage bags full of clothing and accessories.

“My deepest desire is that the women who receive these gifts will be reminded that there are many in the community who love and care about them, and there is reason to hope for a better future,” Jahn said.

JEFF NAGELBlack Press

Just as households can opt to pay more for green electricity, FortisBC is now offer-ing to charge its customers more to sup-port renewable natural gas projects and cut their carbon footprint.

Those who sign on will pay about $4 extra per month to have 10 per cent of their home’s natural gas designated as from biogas sources, which avoids the extraction of fossil fuel gas.

The methane is initially being captured at a landfill in Salmon Arm and generated from cattle manure at Catalyst Power Inc.’s new anerobic digester in Abbotsford. It’s upgraded to pipeline quality before being pumped into the gas utility’s network.

More biomethane is expected to flow into the gas grid from Metro Vancouver sewage treatment plants in the future.

The offering is billed as a way to choose a greener more sustainable way to heat homes and take action on climate change.

“It’s an innova-tive approach that allows their custom-ers to take action on climate change in a simple and cost-effective way,” said James Tansey, CEO of Offsetters, a carbon management firm that has endorsed the offering as car-bon-neutral.

FortisBC (formerly Terasen Gas) esti-mates the program will save 5,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases in the first year, equal to taking 1,000 cars off the road each year.

The program will initially run on a first-come first-served basis.

“There’s limited supply of biogas for renewable natural gas,” FortisBC spokes-man Marcus Wong said, adding it could be opened up to more customers or larger

proportions of bio-gas use as supplies increase.

There’s no locked-in contract — cus-tomers can opt out at any time at no cost.

Subscribers pay 10 per cent less in car-bon tax on their gas bills, because B.C.’s carbon tax applies on natural gas but not on carbon-neu-tral sources.

It’s the first pro-gram of its kind in

North America.Biogas so far costs more to produce

than regular natural gas.FortisBC is expected to sign an agreement

to buy biogas from Metro Vancouver’s Lulu Island sewage treatment plant at $13.40 per gigajoule — nearly triple the current market price of regular natural gas.

JEFF NAGELBlack Press

Metro Vancouver is under fire for com-mitting $13.1 million to a partnership with a private firm to generate more biogas energy at the region’s Lulu Island sewage treatment plant.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan called the project a waste of money and noted the cost has climbed $2.5 million from a previous estimate a year ago.

“It is not in my view the kind of expen-diture we should be undertaking,” Cor-rigan said. “We have a lot of other places we could be placing this money.”

Metro’s board approved the spending June 24, with Burnaby directors voting against it.

Paradigm Environmental Technologies will outfit the Lulu Island plant with its MicroSludge system to greatly increase the production of biogas, which would be sold into the FortisBC natural gas grid as green biomethane.

Enough extra gas would be generated to heat 300 homes and Metro would earn money by selling it.

And the process would also consume more sewage sludge, which now has to be composted and trucked for use at a mine reclamation site near Williams Lake.

The region should save money on fuel costs trucking the sludge away and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Metro waste committee chair Greg Moore said the project may yield bigger cost savings down the road.

Future sewage treatment plant rebuilds — two are planned at a cost of $1.4 bil-lion — may be able to operate with just four or five big digesters instead of the usual six.

“Those things are about $50 million each,” Moore said. “It’s a small invest-ment that could have very large returns for us.”

Metro Vancouver’s net capital cost for the Lulu upgrade is to be reduced to $7 million thanks to expected grants totaling $4.4 million from the province’s Inno-

vative Clean Energy fund and from the Union of B.C. Municipalities, and from additional contributions of $1.7 million from Paradigm.

Metro would be responsible for operat-ing costs but expects to break even over 25 years.

Metro’s board had turned down a previ-ous Paradigm proposal more than a year ago.

But the company came back with a sweetened offer that includes a share of its future revenues and FortisBC offered to pay more for the biomethane.

Surrey Councillor Marvin Hunt said he supports the project, which he called another form of waste-to-energy.

“We’re taking a waste product and converting it into a useful form of energy to replace the standard fossil fuels,” he said.

“If we focus on the technology, this is a great money maker that is going to work for us and also reduce the cost of future waste facilities by literally hundreds of millions of dollars.”

LaRose speaks to student leadersASHLEIGH BEAUDOINTimes Reporter

Having grown up in an under-privileged neighbourhood and overcome his own adversities, JR LaRose now feels it is important to give back in the community. Last month, he took an oppor-tunity to talk to some student leaders at Walnut Grove Second-ary School.

LaRose, #27 for the B.C. Lions, came to WGSS to talk to student leaders about staying on their path and tell them a bit of his life story.

The school’s leadership pro-grams offer chances for students to help on a community and global level, while also helping other stu-dent through groups like Gator Quality, the Power to Stay Away (PSA) and student council.

LaRose, 27, was born in Alberta, but did not have a very privi-leged or savory upbringing.

As a child LaRose says he was motivated by players like Gizmo Williams, who took the time to

branch out into the community. Now, as a player with the power to influence the youth of his com-munity, he is doing the same.

Through his talks with students

and his company, LaRose Athlet-ics, he is making strides in help-ing kids to achieve their dreams and to stay on their path.More — www.langleytimes.com

Langley’s Community Farmers Market opened for the season on May 25, a feast of food and crafts.

Held on the parking lot of Kwantlen Polytechnic University on Langley Bypass and Glover Road, the

market is an outdoor event which draws vendors from all over the Lower Mainland.

It’s the place where you can buy produce — some of it organic — that is grown locally, honey, fudge, preserves, soup stock, and homemade crafts such as candles and cards.

It’s the place where you can buy beautiful handmade jewelry while listening to live entertainment.

Parking is free for Farmers Market shoppers and browsers. The market is open every Wednesday, rain or shine, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. until early October.

Natasha JONES/Langley Times photosThe Langley Farmers Market isn’t limited to fresh produce, preserves, honey and cheese. There’s entertain-ment and amusing activities for children. Above: Ava McFerran, 3, of Abbotsford, had her face painted by The Doodle Girls while, right, Langley singer-songwriter Hailey Morgan, 16, performed for the crowd.

Natasha JONES/Langley Times photosClockwise from centre: For those who like curry, Country Village Market of Abbotsford sells fenugreek. The leaves are used as a herb, while the seeds are harvested as one of the ingre-dients of curry; truckles of cheeses are sold by Farm House Natural Cheeses of Agassiz; the Dancing Bee Apiary sells honey and beeswax candles, and ideas for gift baskets, while sev-eral booths feature fresh tomatoes.


One lucky child will arrive in style for the 16th annual Canada Day celebra-tions being held at McLeod Park this year. As the winner of a joint promotion by Joy TV10 and the Langley Canada Day Society, the winner will be driven

to the festivities on a fire truck provided by the Langley City Fire Department. A Joy TV10 cameraman will be along to ensure that their experience will be recorded for posterity.

A new volunteer committee was formed in 2011 and they wanted a new twist to supplement the highly popular colouring contest. Joytv 10 stepped up and are celebrat-ing Canada Day by giving a special little Canadian the VIP treatment! “It will be a day to remember for a lifetime as our little star enjoys first class status at the vibrant celebra-tion happening at Langley’s McLeod Park, said Suzanne Smith, Joytv 10 Host.

Upon arrival at the festivities the winner will be escorted to the VIP tent and pre-sented with his or her all day ride pass with ‘front of the line access’ to every ride on the site. The prize also includes a free lunch and VIP parking for the winner’s family. The “Celebrity of the Day” will be on hand to help open the festival with the other invited dignitaries.

In addition to a fun filled day at the festival, the winner will also be presented with a certificate which entitles them to a $300.00 shopping spree at Toy Traders. Toy Traders is BC’s largest independent toy store and is Canada’s largest collectible store. Toy Traders is located at 150 - 19888 Langley By Pass.

To end their day the winner will be treated to the absolute best spot to view the fireworks which take place at 10:30 PM.

The promotion was spearheaded by JoyTV 10. Joytv 10, is a locally based television station that has been serving Vancouver, Victoria and Fraser Valley for 10 years. The sta-tion delivers uplifting, inspirational multi-faith programming and family-friendly com-edy and drama for a spiritually and culturally diverse audience.

The Langley Canada Day celebration is the only celebration which features two days of fun, food, and family entertainment. The board of directors is solely made up of community volunteers who have been planning this party since the beginning of the year. “Come on out and have a ball”, said Travis Stain, Langley Canada Day Society President.

For the past four years, the Langley Canada Day Society has been

the recipient of Langley School District’s carpentry apprenticeship program’s community based project.

For the fourth year in a row, students from car-pentry apprenticeship pro-gram at Aldergrove Com-munity Senior Secondary have shown off their car-pentry skills and built a 4’ x 8’ multi level play centre. With the help of commun-ity sponsors the students build a play house which is used as the first prize for the Langley Canada Day’s colouring contest.

Aldergrove Community Senior Secondary runs a carpentry apprenticeship program for the Langley School District and is headed up by teacher Andy Gaumont who is the head

of the District’s Carpentry Dual Credit Program.

He uses this as one of the major projects alongside the sheds they build and sell each year. “I strive for my program to do at least one community based pro-ject each year. I have local suppliers and businesses

donate materials for the playhouse: Wilway Lumber has been a regular sup-porter of our program for many years. This year, Men-zies metal, Universal Rope, and Norco Manufacturing have also donated materi-als for the playhouse,” he said.

prizeThis year’s colouring

contest was slightly dif-ferent because it tested a child’s drawing abilities and imagination. The par-ticipants are asked to draw what they thought was Canada Day. Participants are asked to bring their efforts to the Canada Day celebrations at McLeod Park and drop it in a spe-cially marked bin.

Once the judging is complete the winner will be announced. This year’s contest was supplemented by a second prize because of the generosity of a local accounting firm. Fearn and Associates are giving away a collection of special lego kits which include themes from Toy Story, Playmobil, Star Wars and Power Min-ers.

contestCanada Day Facts

Canada celebrates its 144th birthday this July 1st.

July 1, 1867, Canada became a self-governing dominion of Great Britain and was made up of four provinces: Nova Scotia; New Brunswick; Ontario; and Quebec.

On June 20, 1868, the Canada’s Governor General, the Viscount Monct proclaimed that Canadians should celebrate the anniversary of the confederation.

July 1st became a statutory holiday and was originally called Dominion Day.

Since 1983 the holiday has been officially known as Canada Day.

July 1 is a statutory holiday in Canada unless it falls on a Sunday; then it moves to July 2nd.

No official celebrations were held until the 50th anniversary in 1917 and the 60th anniver-sary in 1927. More events were added when Canada celebrated its centennial in 1967.

All provincial governments observe this day. All government departments and most banks are closed.

Since 2006 Canada Day celebrations were also held at London’s Trafalgar Square in the United Kingdom

The Shed Row Market Art Fair Saturday, July 9, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Fields & Flowers Farm, 900 232 St.

BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

Despite the sign, the sheltered driveway is easy to miss.

In that respect, Fields & Flow-ers, Barb Beaton’s South Langley

farm, certainly qualifies as one of Langley’s hidden treasures.

Turning off 232 Street onto the property, visitors enter a winding lane, lined on one side by a thick grove of trees, and on the other, a grassy paddock, bending gently under a light breeze.

It’s a pleasant early summer day, as sun-shine streams through the windows of the little farm gate shop at the end of the drive. It’s quiet now, but when the weather heats up in earnest, young equestrians from around the neighbourhood will break their rides to stop and cool off with a scoop of ice cream from the chest freezer in Beaton’s small shop.

And if Saturday, July 9 is equally fair, Beaton will be a happy woman. That’s the day she will welcome 16 artists and hundreds of visitors to her small farm, as she hosts the Shed Row Market Art Fair. Beginning at 10 a.m., the artists will set up their easels inside the shed row —a long horse barn — where they will spend the day working in front of the stalls to a captive equine audience.

Visitors meanwhile, are free to roam the property, visiting with the artists and watch-ing them work, or perhaps sampling a bit of crabapple jam and grabbing a few carrots to entice a horse or two to poke its nose out for a quick hello.

This pastoral property is more than just a tourist attraction — it’s a working farm, Beaton is quick to point out. Inside her greenhouses located just over the hill from the barn, she grows both sweet and savoury edible flowers, for sale as well as for use in a range of items, including jelly confits, cheeses, chocolate and artisan breads sold in the farm gate store.

Placed throughout the shop are framed drawings and paintings — florals, land-scapes and still life — as well as jewelry, pottery and wood art done by local artists and sold on their behalf by Beaton.

“(Fields & Flowers) is like a country store, in some respects,” said Deborah Strong, one of four Langley artists who will be partici-pating in the July 9 event. “It’s a really inter-esting little place and it’s become part of the South Langley community and a part of the

artist community as well. “Barb is very supportive of the arts com-

munity and really feels this (art fair) is some-thing she can do (to help).”

It’s not only the artists who benefit from the fairs. Since 2009, Beaton has hosted a similar event in the fall as a well. The Harvest Shed Row Market, held on the first weekend in October, is a fundraiser for the charity which finds homes for noncompetitive and injured Thoroughbred racehorses. Although it is not technically a fundraising event, donations to New Stride will be accepted during the July art fair as well.

The irresistible combination of original art and horses draws people to the rural prop-erty from as far afield as West Vancouver.

“It’s a real country experience for people coming from the city,” said Strong.

“They enjoy the opportunity to see the art in a bit of an unusual environment.

For Strong, who works both in silk and coloured pencil, animals — horses included — are a regular subject and a natural fit for the Shed Row event.

Another participant, South Langley artist Vivian Harder, who often collaborates with Strong, specializes in equine art, so it’s no surprise perhaps, that she works out of Thunderfoot Studios.

Joining them will be Lalita Hamill and Bryan Robberts.

Hamill, a Walnut Grove artist who works in oil, pastel, watercolour and graphite, started drawing during the snowstorm of 1996 and has not looked back.

She became a full-time artist after her hus-band was involved in a severe car accident. The crash served as a wake up call to the then-aspiring artist that life was too short to put off her dream.

Robberts, meanwhile, is a water colourist

from Zambia who now makes his home in Langley City.

For him, part of the allure of water colour is its unpredictability. Using different tech-niques — flicking and splashing — and tools — sponges and anything else that will hold paint — the possibilities are endless.

“You can get some pretty happy acci-dents,” he said.

The Shed Row Market Art Fair will run rain or shine but, weather permitting, the artists will set up outdoors as well as inside the barn.

store, go to www.fieldsandflowers.com.

Garrett JAMES/Langley TimesDeborah Strong has company as she sketches in the shed row at Fields & Flowers in South Langley. On July 9, the farm on 232 Street will host an art fair, featuring 16 artists from around the Lower Mainland, including four from Langley.

Not only in Langley, but throughout the Lower Mainland other truck repair companies are changing their focus just to keep up with this busy shop!“Local companies are advertising that they ‘do diesel’ but Bernhausen Automotive is the home of diesel truck repair.” said owner Satya Bernhausen proudly.

They have the ability to diagnose problems quickly and accurately and are constantly changing to meet customer needs. Bernhausen Automotive is not only keeping pace but winning the race. There have been some dynamic changes at Bernhausen Automotive lately. New technology and new manpower has changed the way this

company is doing business. Satya says a great deal of their success stems from these changes. Their growth and adaptation skills allow them to stay three steps ahead of the competition. With a strong mantra and no plans to get set in his ways. “Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over standing still,” he said. Because of their rapid growth, Bernhausen has moved into a larger and more impressive facility, filled with state-of-the-art technology and top-level personnel to meet your service needs.“Even with the larger facility we are still fi lling up quickly,” he said.Throughout their fi ve years Bernhausen has been dedicated to keeping their business local.

Vision boards are one of the most powerful ways to visual-ize your goals and keep you focused. Where do you want to be and what do you want to be doing one, five, 10 years from now?

A workshop on Saturday, July 9 will explain how.

Violette Clark said that just like Hollywood directors, partici-pants can create storyboards to map out their blockbuster life.

“Your vision board will

focus close-up on you and you become the star, not the extra in your own extraordinary life story,” she said.

“Your vision board can take many forms or can just be posi-tive daily affirmations put to a colourful page filled with images of the things that you desire in your life. At the workshop Vio-lette and her partner Michelle will guide people through exercises and techniques to use while creating the vision/dream

board. Participants will receive

instructions on how to create a large format 24” x 36” board but also tips and techniques on how to use these ideas to create affir-mation cards and a vision book.

To register for the workshop, which costs $48 and includes light refreshments, email [email protected], or call 604 514-4324.

The workshop is from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

BURN AWARENESS


BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

For Langley’s Hailey Morgan, the Canada Day weekend will have a bit of an international flair this year.

The 16-year-old singer-songwriter has been invited to be the opening act for well-known Hong Kong artist Kenneth Choi, at the Red Robinson Show Theatre on Saturday, July 2.

Also a DJ, television host and an actor, Choi is bringing his 2011 World Concert Tour to the Coquitlam show lounge.

For Choi, it’s one more stop on a global circuit.

But here in B.C., Hailey is still a young artist working to make a name for herself in the pop music industry, by performing at as many local events as she can.

Recently, that included the Father’s Day Bloom Market in Fort Langley and the Langley Community Farmers Market on the grounds of Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Langley campus (see photo, page 16).

For the past several years, the teenager has been building her resumé, performing four or

five shows a month, whether that’s singing the national anthem at the Cloverdale Rodeo or stepping onto festival stages around the Lower Mainland.

Each performance includes her own, original songs as well as cover versions of artists who inspire her, including Sara Bareilles and Arcade Fire.

As well as sing, the home-schooled teen accompanies herself on the piano when she performs live.

“I’m just trying to get my name out there,” she said.

Yes, it’s been hard work, but if genetics are any indication, Hailey was always destined for the stage.

Both her parents are musicians, who operated a performing arts school while she was growing up.

As a little girl, that meant she was learning to sing, dance and act by the time she turned five.

At eight, she wrote her first song, ‘Come to my party.’

No, the lyrics weren’t particularly deep, and there was no complicated subtext for

listeners to work out, she laughed, but it was a start.

These days, her songwriting skills having markedly improved, the young artist is getting noticed outside the Langleys.

She recently earned a top 10 spot in Youthink Magazine’s B.C.’s Best Teen Band Contest and between writing new songs and finishing her last

year of school, she plays shows weekly at venues all over the Lower Mainland.

She is also currently promoting her debut record You & Me.

The July 2 Red Robinson Theatre concert marks the next step for the young performer.

“I love making music and going into the studio to lay down songs, but nothing compares to playing them live, so I’m pretty stoked to be sharing my music with that big a crowd,” she said.

For more about Hailey and upcoming show dates, visit her website at www.haileymorganonline.com.

Rusty BARTON/Volleyball CanadaLangley’s Lauren O’Reilly is in Winnipeg training with the Canadian women’s national volleyball team. O’Reilly, who played the past two seasons with Trinity Western, has put her schooling on hold as she attempts to help Canada qualify for the 2012 Olympics in London.

GARY AHUJATimes Sports

There are days where Lauren O’Reilly wonders what she is doing.

She could be like most people her age, enjoying summer vacation while waiting for the next school semester to begin. Or she could be done her post-secondary education and getting ready to embark on her career.

Instead, O’Reilly finds herself thousands of miles away from home, doing the same thing over and over every day.

But the bad days are greatly outnumbered by the good days.

“I am convinced I am on the right path, but there are days you wish you had a summer and could go with your friends to the cabin,” she admitted.

“But no second thoughts, this is where I am supposed to be.”

The 22-year-old from Langley is in Winnipeg with the Canadian senior national team program.

She has been there since March, shortly after helping Trinity Western University’s women’s volleyball win the bronze medal at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championships, the program’s best-ever finish.

She is working towards helping Canada qualify for next summer’s Olympic Games in London.

“Growing up, I always knew I wanted to go to the Olympics,” O’Reilly said, although she never really knew what sport she would play in.

Always athletic, all she knew was that the Olympics were her goal.

And once she reached high school and put her efforts

into volleyball, it became clear, this was the sport that would take her there.

During her Grade 10 year, she unsuccessfully tried out for Canada’s junior national team program.

Undeterred, she was back the next year and this time made it.

“That was my first experience with the national team and that made me want to dream a little bigger and play for the senior (national) team,” O’Reilly said.

“That is when I thought it was a realistic goal.”

O’Reilly is now in her third season with the senior national team as the starting setter and Canada’s head coach says he has seen a huge improvement.

“Her personality on the court is the same, she just increased her performance and her on-court decision making,” said Arnd Ludwig.

“She is adapting very well to the individual strengths of the hitters.”

The team just finished a four-game exhibition series in Manitoba against Argentina yesterday (June 27).

This kicks off a busy stretch

for the squad.The team head to Mexico

this week for the Pan Am Cup and then has a tournament back in Manitoba.

In August, they will face the Netherlands in a series of exhibition games in Ontario.

September sees the team head to Puerto Rico for the NORCECA Continental championships and then to Mexico in October for the Pan American Games.

And then there is one more trip to Mexico in January, this time for an Olympic qualifying tournament.

Only a dozen teams from around the world will qualify for the 2012 Olympics in London.

Canada is ranked 20th in the world.

While it is always a special feeling when she pulls on Canada’s red and white jersey, to do so at the Olympics would be an unbelievable experience.

“As a kid you always watch it on TV and you see all these athletes competing for their country,” she said.

“It is the ultimate goal as an athlete.”

Her coach at Trinity Western is not surprised by O’Reilly’s success.

“You see a kid with a lot of talent, but you are never sure whether or not they are going to fulfill that talent,” said Ryan Hofer, who has known O’Reilly from her high school days when she played in the Fraser Valley Volleyball Club system.

“She has worked hard, she is committed to helping (Canada) reach the Olympics and she is pretty driven right now.”

O’Reilly possesses the necessary tools to be a great player.

“What makes her special is her athletic ability,” Hofer said.

“As a kid you always watch on TV and you see all the athletes competing for their country.”Lauren O’Reilly

RICK KUPCHUKBlack Press

Just as Jordan Linnen exceeded the expecta-tions of the B.C. Lions in training camp, play-ing in a Canadian Foot-ball League (CFL) exhi-bition game surpassed those of the 21 year-old defensive back.

Linnen, a member of the Langley Rams of the Canadian Junior Foot-ball League dressed for the Lions in last Wednes-day’s CFL preseason game against the Sas-katchewan Roughrid-ers. He was on the field for kick-offs, and was in on a number of tackles in a 34-6 B.C. victory.

“It was an unreal experience, it exceeded my expectations,” said the five-foot-10, 190 lbs. Linnen the day after the game. “I got in more reps than I thought, and I made some plays.”

Linnen spent the last two seasons with the Rams in South Surrey, and was a B.C. Foot-ball Conference all-star both years. And while not much was expected from the graduate of

Frank Hurt Secondary, he was invited to the Lions rookie camp in Kamloops earlier this month.

But he showed well enough to earn an invi-tation to the main camp,

where he was listed as a non-counting junior player, meaning that he is not property of the CFL team but is territo-rially protected.

And while others around him were cut

and sent home, Linnen stayed in camp and soon realized he might get a chance to play in one of the two pre-season games.

“(Player Personnel Coordinator) Neil McE-voy sat me down, and told me they were keep-ing me until the end of camp,” he said.

“That’s when I thought I had a chance to get on one of the active rosters for a game. So I worked hard to get that chance.”

And he made the most of it, earning some praise from head coach Wally Buono and taking another step towards his goal of playing as a professional.

“Wally said he was impressed with my play, and I have a future in football,” said Linnen. “He didn’t specify any-thing, but he was very encouraging.

“I think I have a good chance of getting asked to practice with the Lions, and if I do I will practice with them and keep playing for the Rams. But we’ll see what happens.”

Starting July 9, the Lower Mainland will be treated to nine days of home runs, close tags and rally caps, as the 2011 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship welcomes women softball stars from British Columbia and the globe.

The championship runs until July 17 and will take place at three diamonds in Surrey. Softball City will be the premier destination, and games will also be played at Sunnyside Park and Cloverdale Athletic Park.

The Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch championship is one of the top three women’s fastpitch events in the world for 2011, and will feature more than 400 ball games, 1,300 athletes and 80 teams from around the world.

“This event is important to the game on so many levels,” said Softball Canada president Kevin Quinn. “To all the players, through all the divisions, it is a chance to measure yourself against the best at your level of competition in a fun, professionally organized

tournament.“Lifetime memories are made

here.”There will be three divisions of

play— Women’s, Futures (under-19) and Showcase (under-16).

The latter division features the Langley-based Fraser Valley Fusion 95 and the Fraser Valley Fusion 96, who are both playing in the Gold Showcase Division. The Langley Rebels also have a squad competing.

Joining Team Canada in the Women’s International division will be top-ranked and 2010 ISF Women’s World Champion Team USA, Team Japan, Team Venezuela and Team Australia.

Canada won bronze at last year’s world championships.

“(We) are pleased that Surrey has the opportunity to welcome the world’s top fastpitch teams to this tournament,” said Bal Gosal, Canada’s Minister of State (Sport). “These young athletes will experience the thrill of participating in an international competition and get to know the true meaning of spirit.”

Tickets can be purchased online at CanadianOpenFastpitch.com, as well as at the parks. The

action kicks off at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 9 and the third-place and first-place games will be played on Saturday July 17 at 1:30 and 6:30 p.m., respectively.

On top of what will happen on the diamond, all in attendance will be treated to some special events during the festivities. Young softball players aged eight to 16 can sign up for the Shaw Youth Clinics (between now and June 30) for a chance to play with and learn from some

of the world’s top-ranked teams. Registration is available online at CanadianOpenFastpitch.com.

Visit the Scotiadome marquee tent for the Celebration of Softball, which offers a number of activities and exhibits for kids, parents and players.

There will also be a Softball Heroes marquee tent, where past superstars, umpires, local coaches and other heroes in the softball world will be on-hand to enlighten and entertain you with

stories and conversation. There will also be a “Guys Night Out,” a special night dedicated to the boys and men of fastpitch in B.C.

Both Softball Heroes and the Celebration of Softball are free with admission to the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship.

All of this is possible with the help of 450 volunteers who have given their time to help make this tournament one of the world’s largest fastpitch championships.

“A championship of this scope requires an enormous amount of planning and commitment on the part of the tournament committee to incorporate essentially three tournaments into one event,” said Dennis Bidin, president of Softball B.C.

“This championship allows all of our softball fans an opportunity to see what can be accomplished by dedication, hard work and focusing on goals to be the best in your sport.”

This year, fans and spectators will also be able to participate in the coverage of this event.

Photos can be uploaded to Flickr, there will be a conversation on Facebook, or fans can follow the championship’s buzz on Twitter, using #COFP11 to join in the fun and report what they are seeing in the stand of the ballparks.

‘A privilege’ playing for Canada

“She is quick, she is fast (and) she has an uncanny ability of locating the ball.

“She has these qualities in place that every coach is looking for in a setter.

“And with those qualities, comes an ability to make her team better, which she does.”

O’Reilly also loves the fact that she can be a role model for younger players, including her sister.

“Whenever I put on my jersey, I always think of my little sister and the position I am in right now,” she said.

“Being on the national team makes me a hero to so many girls who play volleyball.

“Because I have this platform of being on Team Canada, I can be a role model to young girls across the

country to dream big.”“It’s inspiring to know how

proud my little sister is of me and how young girls look up to me because I get to represent my country.”

Despite chasing her dream, it can still be a grind.

She misses her family, for one thing, and the daily regimen can be difficult.

A typical day involves six hours of practice, weight training and conditioning.

“On a daily perspective, sometimes it is tough to remember the future goal of the Olympics, when it is Friday, you haven’t had a day off, and you are so tired,” she said.

“Not feeling like you have a life, like volleyball consumes you.”

“Some days are bad; you just have to hope the next day is better,” she said, adding that having a boyfriend in

town helps give her life some balance.

She has also had to leave her Trinity Western teammates and her studies, although

she has done some of her coursework online as she works towards her degree.

But in the end, it all comes down to the fact she is chasing her dream.

“There are so many other girls who wish they were in position so we strive to play like that every day,” she said.

“Not taking it for granted that we are here, that we get to represent our country and it is a privilege and not something to be taken lightly.”

from PAGE 29“Because I have

this platform, I can be a role model to

young girls across the country to dream big.”

Garrett JAMES/Langley TimesNorth Langley All-Stars’ Will Steensma beats out the throw to first base against Hastings on Sunday during a 9/10 Selects tournament at Walnut Grove Community Park. This week-end, North Langley will host the 9/10 Majors district championships.

Trailing by two goals against the league’s top team with less than a period remaining, the Langley Thunder orchestrated a thrilling comeback, knocking off the New Westminster Salmonbelllies 9-7.

The two senior A Western Lacrosse Association battled on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre.

Kyle Belton scored twice in the

third to bring Langley on even terms, and then Athan Iannucci notched the game-winner, his second of the night.

The win was Langley’s second in a row and third in the past five games. They improved to 4-5-1. New West fell to 7-2-1.

Steven HEYWOOD/Black PressLangley Blaze’s Ricky Bertrand is thrown out sliding into the second base during Saturday’s doubleheader against the Parksville Royals.

Blaze move closer to clinchingDespite going just 2-2 over

the weekend, the Langley Blaze (30-10) were able to stretch their lead atop the Premier Baseball League to 2.5 games with eight games remaining.

Playing in Parksville on Saturday against the Royals, Langley needed a run in the top of the seventh to force extra innings and then won the game with four runs in the eighth.

Game two saw Langley fall 4- as were limited to three hits.

Back at McLeod Park on Sunday, the Blaze bats were again silent in the opener against Victoria, managing just three hits in a 1-0 loss.

But the Blaze avoided the

three-game losing streak with a 4-1 win in the second game.

•••••A pair of dominant pitching

performances, which included a no-hitter and a one-hitter, helped the Langley Jr. Blaze move closer to clinching the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League pennant with three wins over the weekend. The U16 team (33-5) has a six-game lead with 10 games remaining.

Ashton Mantle tossed a no-hitter over five innings during Friday night’s 10-0 victory against the Abbotsford Jr. Car-dinals at McLeod Park.

And on Sunday, the Blaze were at Mackie Park, where they swept the North Delta Jr. Blue Jays, 6-4 and 12-0.

•••••Bob Foerster drove in the

game’s only run with a fourth-inning sacrifice as the Langley Sr. Blaze defeated the Everett Merchants 1-0.

Blake Stewart, Sean Cal-legari, Mike Ellis and Nathan Kirby combined on a five-hitter to shutdown the Mer-chants attacks.

The teams were playing a doubleheader on Saturday at McLeod Park and the loss was just the second in 11 games for the Merchants (9-2).

Langley improved to 3-6 in Pacific International League play.

In the opener, Everett pounded out a 9-0 victory.

RIDE TO CONQUER CANCER CAR WASHCar-toons Car Wash, 19415 Langley Bypass, held a fundraiser on Sunday June 12th to raise funds for the third annual Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer benefi ting BC Cancer Foundation. The owner, Don MacLeod was joined by thousands of men and women who share one thing in common: the desire to make a difference. Riders travelled through the Pacifi c Northwest over two-days, June 18-19, 2011. Funds raised from this epic event will support breakthrough cancer research, treatment and the discovery of new therapies.

At the end of May, Country Lumber and its staff held a fundraiser, and together, with the support of their customers, they raised $3078.00. The Company then matched the funds to raise the total to over $6100. And as a Timbrmart dealer, the TimbrKids Children Foundation then donated an additional $4000 to raise the overall total to $10,000, and all For The Kids! Country Lumber Ltd. will be presenting cheque for the funds raised to a representative of the BC Lions Society’s Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay.This summer over 27 Langley children with disabilities have registered to attend Easter Seals camps. The average cost to attend camp is $2400, and with the support of companies such as Country Lumber Ltd., Easter Seals is able to continue to operate this program at no cost to the families.
