Eastern Langley saw somenasty effects from one of thelast storms of winter.by Matthew [email protected]

A late-winter storm withsnow, freezing rain, and heavyrainfall blew through the LowerMainland on the weekend, againleaving Langley drivers in theditches or homes dark.

Environment Canada hadissued a snowfall warning forSunday, with between 10 and 25centimeters of snow expected.However, the weather changedto rain relatively early in the dayfor much of the Lower Mainland.

Parts of Langley, especiallyAldergrove, saw freezing rainduring the late afternoon andevening.

Several thousand residentsin Aldergrove and Abbotsfordwere in the dark during parts ofSunday and into Monday mor-

ning.BC Hydro reported that trees

were down on wires causingseveral of the outages.

Students in Aldergrove had apartial disruption to their schoolday, as Aldergrove Secondary,Betty Gilbert Middle, andShortreed Elementary all startedthe day without power.

School was briefly declaredcancelled, but the LangleySchool District announced theywould open again after the firstblock or recess.

Despite the snow and rain,there were relatively few serioustraffic accidents over the week-end. In Langley City, fire chiefRory Thompson reported onlyone crash, of a car into a trafficpole. However, it wasn’t clear ifthe crash was weather-related.

In Langley Township, firefight-ers responded to two calls ofpower lines down, and sevenrescue situations for crashedcars. However, there were nocritical injuries, said assistantfire chief Bruce Ferguson.

The ground search haswrapped up without finding ayoung Walnut Grove man.by Heather [email protected]

A young Walnut Grove manhas not been seen since Feb. 24,and a ground search was con-ducted in the Derby Reach areaSunday.

Late on March 1, the LangleyRCMP issued a missing person’sreport on Nicholas Hannon, 19.The search started early March 2.

He was last seen last Mondayby his father.

“Police received the report ofhis absence in the evening ofFeb. 27 when Nicholas’s vehiclewas located abandoned at a deadend of McKinnon Crescent,” saidLangley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks.

The car is believed to havebeen there since at least 7:30 thatmorning. Nicholas had spoken tohis father on Feb. 25.

He is described as Caucasian,5’9”, slim build, with very shortdark brown hair.

A search started at first lightSunday in the area around whereHannon’s vehicle was found onthe dead-end road.

Searchers are asking home-owners for permission to searchtheir properties, and to see if theresidents can offer any assistanceor keep watch for anything out ofthe ordinary.

Authorities waited until day-light “because we are in thisarea, there’s a lot of potentialhazards,” said Langley RCMP Sgt.Tom James.

Snow covered the area, and itis also quite boggy.

There were more than 30people taking part from CentralValley Search and Rescue Society,the RCMP, and auxiliary RCMP.

SAR, a non-profit organizationof volunteers, has almost twodozen people taking part. Aswell, about six people from MetroVancouver Parks helped.

Despite the weather and itbeing the day of the HeritageClassic and the Oscars, DerbyReach Regional Park was still

attracting many users.The search command centre

was set up in the park.If people have information

about Hannon that may helplocate him, they are asked tocontact the RCMP detachment at604-532-3200.

What you need to know about the Trans Mountain Expansion Project

After nearly two years of conversations, studies and planning, Trans Mountain filed a Facilities Application with the National EnergyBoard (NEB) in December 2013 for its proposed $5.4 billion expansion project.

Respectful and authentic dialogue begins with transparency and a common understanding of the facts. As we move forward in theregulatory process, we are committed to making sure that people have access to the facts about our proposal and the process. Thefollowing is aimed at correcting misinformation being spread by individuals and groups in your community.

CLAIM

Land will be expropriated; people will lose their homes.

REALITY

Trans Mountain does not have the right to expropriateland. We have established and maintained relationshipsfor the last 60 years with 2,200 landowners, as well as withneighbours and communities along the pipeline corridor.Our goal is to treat all landowners fairly and equitably. Inthe unlikely event that we cannot reach an agreement witha landowner, the NEB can grant right of entry to allow usto build and maintain the pipeline, but not to expropriate ortake away any land or homes from owners.

CLAIM

Property values near the pipeline have already declined andwill continue to drop.

REALITY

Along our existing pipeline route, which has been in placefor 60 years, there is no measurable difference betweenproperties with or without an easement. However, weappreciate that land devaluation is a concern. Lookingahead to the new pipeline, companies are required by theNEB act to compensate landowners for any new easementand pay for any impacts or inconvenience associated withthe new pipeline. Included within the determination ofcompensation is any change in the value of the propertybefore and after the pipeline is built.

CLAIM

The route for the proposed Trans Mountain ExpansionProject has already been determined.

REALITY

In our Facilities Application, we’ve identified a proposedpipeline corridor, and in some cases an alternative. Thesecorridors are wider than what the permanent right-of-waywill be. They provide the flexibility to respond to stakeholderinput or to place the pipe so as to minimize local communityor environmental impacts. A final right-of-way will bedetermined only after regulatory approval and during thedetailed design phase. It is important to note that 73 per centof the proposed expanded pipeline will follow the existingright-of-way where the Trans Mountain pipeline has beenoperating safely for 60 years. An additional 17 per cent ofthe proposed expansion will follow existing utility corridorsand only the remaining 10 per cent would require greenfieldright-of-way.

CLAIM

The opportunity for public input into the project is limited.

REALITY

To date, we’ve engaged with thousands of individualsthrough 63 open houses and workshops along the pipelineand marine corridors and hundreds of meetings betweenproject team members and stakeholder groups. Ourwork continues, with opportunities for continued dialoguethroughout the process.

The NEB will hold a public hearing on the Applicationbefore it makes a decision, allowing people or groups whohave been granted permission to participate by the NEB achance to raise issues, present evidence, test evidence andprovide their input.

We want to ensure that no voice goes unheard and no concerngoes unaddressed. If you hear more claims that you’d like usto address, please send them to us. Please visit our website orcontact us if you have questions or would like to learn more aboutthe proposed project.

For more information about the regulatory process and howto get involved, go to the NEB website at www.neb-one.gc.ca >Major Applications and Projects > Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC- Trans Mountain Expansion.

Fifteen more men andwomen are officially LangleyRCMP auxiliary constables.by Troy [email protected]

A celebration for the class of2014 was held inside the LangleySecondary School gymnasiumSaturday morning.

The graduating class was madeup of students, all adults, noneof whom attend LSS.

These pupils were auxiliaryconstables, uniformed volunteerswith the Langley RCMP.

During a ceremony that wasemceed by auxiliary constableprogram coordinator JeanGalvin, 15 men and womenreceived their badges as aux-iliary constables.

Graduates included MorganAdams, Amy Armstrong, ShaneBeacom, Paula Fisher, NikolausFuess, Derek Hamel, ChristopherHanley, Brandon Kroeker,Lauren Mitchuk, ShaylenePatterson, Katie Powell, RavvjeerSumal, Jason Suttie, Lee Taylor,and Trevor Vandelft.

As auxiliary constables, they’llbe involved in community poli-cing relating to public safety andcrime prevention in Langley.

Auxiliary constables also rideon patrol with officers.

They have peace officer statuswhen on duty and are under dir-ect supervision of a member ofthe RCMP.

To become auxiliary con-stables, they had to completeroughly 90 hours of classroomtraining program and 70 hoursof training outside a classroomenvironment over a four-to-sixmonth period.

“You are part of a solution,”Inspector Murray Power toldthe 15 new auxiliary constables.

“You have a significant level ofcourage; courage to join us inuniform to ensure that the restof the community can live in asafe and comfortable environ-ment.”

Power told the auxiliary con-stables that when they are onduty, they represent the RCMP,

themselves, and their families.“Once you step out with the

uniform on, you must thickenyour skin and respect all thepeople you’ve come in contactwith, whether they be good orbad, and remember the mostimportant thing: What will yourfamily think of your actionsor your performance if it waspublished on the front page of anewspaper?” Power said.

For those who don’t want tospend six months in Regina to

become paid RCMP officers,Power said, “This will turn outto be a great break from thereal world. You get to be onthe inside of the yellow tape,you’ll have a pretty good ideaof what’s going on in your com-munity, and you’ll get to experi-ence lots of interesting issues.”

He’s been involved in B.C.’sSummer Games, Special Olympics,and now Senior Games.by Roxanne [email protected]

Langley is earning itself quite thereputation as a sports event destina-tion, and Michael Jackstien is creditedfor helping make that a reality.

That’s in part why the Walnut Groveman has been selected as a finalist fora national award for sports volunteer of theyear, and why Deborah Kulchiski, executivedirector of Tourism Langley, nominated him.

The Prestige Awards, in their eighth year,are awarded nationally by the Canadian

Sport Tourism Alliance (CSTA)at its annual sport event con-gress in Edmonton, March 31to April 3.

“Michael was nominatedfor his volunteering efforts in2013 for the 2013 BC SpecialOlympics hosted in Langley,as well as his preliminary vol-unteer work for the 2014 BCSenior Games, which will alsobe hosted in our proud com-munity,” Kulchiski said.

His nomination and short-listing both came as surprises

to Jackstien: “Someone is paying attention…It’s just nice to be recognized for what I do,and for that reason I am quite pleased,” hetold the Langley Advance.

“I was just rather pleased when I was

contacted,” he added, “and I feel rather hon-oured.”

If picked, Jackstien said it will turn outto be quite the present for his 70th birthdaybeing celebrated later this month, he added.

In addition to his involvement in lastyear’s Special Olympics in Langley, andhelping gear up for this year’s SeniorsGames, Jackstien was also president of theBC Summer Games when it was hosted inLangley in 2010.

Tourism Langley has been a memberof the CSTA for the past eight years andcontinues to promote sports as part of thecommunity’s tourism initiatives.

“Part of those initiatives includes expand-ing awareness of the efforts put forth bylocal sports champions such as MichaelJackstien and many other volunteers, com-munity members, and staff,” Kulchiski said.

The PAC has madeits financial recordstransparent.by Matthew [email protected]

The Glenwood PAC saysthere have been no newproblems, and it has madeits finances transparent asthe Langley RCMP lookinto the last five years offinancial records.

The PAC met Thursday,Feb. 27 and about a dozenparents received updatesfrom their treasurer andthe head of an internalaudit committee.

Beatrice Singer, whois also a member of theDistrict PAC, went overmany of the facts whichhave been reported in theLangley Advance recently.

The incoming PACexecutive wanted financialinformation at the start of

the year.It became clear over a

few weeks that the infor-mation was missing.

On Nov. 22, the PACvoted to create an internalaudit committee

With two other PACmembers, Singer wentover gaming and generalrevenue accounts. She saidthat there were enoughanomalies that the PACapproached the RCMP.

“There is a police inves-tigation,” said Singer.

The Canada RevenueAgency and the B.C.Gaming Policy are alsolooking into the financialsituation.

An entire box of recordsis missing, covering fiveyears of the PAC’s finan-cial transactions, from2009 to the end of the2012/2013 school year,said Singer. Records frombefore that time were allfound intact, and therehave been no problems

with this year’s finances,Singer said.

She could not say any-thing about actual financesof the past five years. ThePAC has already asked forany members who knowwhere the missing recordsare to please let themknow.

There was little discus-sion of the previous PACexecutive or members whohad oversight over thefinances.

“Certain people left,certain people have beenremoved, call it what youwill,” said Singer.

PAC executive memberat large Dennice Debruynheard about the investiga-tion for the first time lastweek.

She is a new member ofthe executive, and recallsthe requests for financialdata early in the schoolyear.

“There wasn’t any finan-cial reports,” she said. “I

thought that was a littleodd.”

Treasurer SarahVanderkerkhove said thePAC has gone from havingno electronic records toonline banking this year.They have also set up asystem that will allow anyPAC member to view thePAC’s bank records onlineat any time.

Vanderkerkhove isworried about negativeperceptions the investiga-tion may cause for thePAC. As far as this year’sfinances, they are in goodshape, she told the PACThursday.

The PAC is on track topay for its usual expenses,including hot lunches andhot dog days, and hasbudgeted $1,400 for teach-ers to purchase additionaleducational materials.

They are also look-ing into creating a “wishlist” for teachers for moreitems.

Tourism Langley’s newsocial media campaignreaches to Denmark.by Roxanne [email protected]

It’s easy to verballyclaim a marketing cam-paign is successful.

It’s easier to back it upwhen you can show thatat least 35 per cent of thepeople following TourismLangley’s Facebook pageare engaging with com-ments, shares, and posts.

But it speaks volumeswhen it can be sharedhow one of the photo-graphs from the relativelynew #LangleyFresh socialmedia campaign reachedone woman half wayaround the globe.

Late last month, duringthe first weekend snowfall,someone shared a picture– through #LangleyFresh –of the old school house inCampbell Valley Park sur-rounded by snow. TourismLangley staff posted it toFacebook, and watched atouching story of commun-ity spirit and compassionunfold.

Shelli WardellRasmussen commented onthe picture.

“Absolutely beauti-ful!!!” she said. “I live inDenmark and my parentsare buried in the FortLangley cemetery. Wouldbe really cool to see somephotos from there rightnow. Should be so pretty.”

Tourism Langley staffthanked Rasmussen forconnecting with them,but it was the reactionof the community thatmoved Tourism Langley’sexecutive director DeborahKulchiski to tears.

“It literally broughttears to my eyes,” shesaid, explaining how sev-eral people began postingpictures of Fort Langley,including several overviewshots of the Glover Roadcemetery.

One woman even offered

to head down to the cem-etery – once the snowhad cleared – and takespictures of her parentsheadstones.

“WOW!!!! You guysare amazing. Thanks somuch,” she replied.

This is just one exampleof the photos and storiesthat are being exchangedthrough the #LangleyFreshcampaign.

Kulchiski said, it’sbecause of exchangeslike this that she and herteam will be able to hail#LangleyFresh as a suc-cess during the TourismLangley annual generalmeeting later this week.

The concept for thecampaign came out oflast year’s AGM, whenKulchiski reported excess

funds that she wantedto see directed into mar-keting, and ways of“increasing awareness forLangley.”

“People know aboutLangley. They know wherewe are, they know gener-ally were we’re locatedand some of the prod-ucts we have to offer,”Kulchiski said.

But people weren’ttalking about Langleyenough, hence the birth of#LangleyFresh.

The campaign startedlast October, and is aimedat engaging residents andvisitors to share how theysee Langley through itemson Facebook, Twitter,Instagram, and other socialmedia. A lot of the par-ticipants have been shar-ing landscape photos, butmore and more people areengaging and sharing otheraspects of life in Langley.

“We want to give peoplea reason to look at Langleyand to place Langley at topof mind,” when planningvacations, daytrips, orbackyard outings.

“This campaign hasexceeded our expecta-tions,” Kulchiski said.“And it’s been really excit-ing to see Langley throughother people’s eyes.”

I grew bored with Sunday night’s Oscar pres-entations – with its interminable, long-winded,and pretentiously disconnected speechifyingpunctuated by over-hyped, overproduced, andunder-talented between-award acts – severalyears ago.

Like NHL hockey – whose gratuitous gloves-off violence left me ice-cold long ago – it’sbeen a long, long time since I’ve been able todrag myself into watching either.

The similarities between Oscarand the NHL go further – par-ticularly the politics behind theinaction: movie producers havebeen known to spend as muchon securing an Oscar nominationas they did making the moviethey wanted nominated, whilethe NHL regularly blabs aboutreducing dangerous violence… as long as theperpetrators aren’t big enough stars to put adent in the box office.

It’s all entertainment, and it has becomemore important than real life.

Heh! How’s that for interminable, long-winded, and pretentiously disconnected? AndI have the temerity to complain about actors’verbal diarrhea!

But I’ve got more.As it happens, Gravity was the only one of

all the films, shorts, etc. nominated for Oscarsthis year that I’ve actually seen.

Except for that one – which, truth be told, Isaw only because Donna wanted to watch it– I’m normally quite content to wait for every-thing else to show up on our free listings.

Having seen it, however, I’m surprised thatit didn’t win (er, I mean, “receive”) the BestPicture nod.

Either 12 Years a Slave (which I suspectmust be the story of B.C. teachers who had

their contracts unilaterally torn up by theprovincial government in 2002) is truly wortha watch… or it had a better political machineactivated in the pre-game show (borne out bythe two Supreme Court rulings in their favour– although not yet to their avail – over thepast 12 years).

Or perhaps the deniers of basic scientific pre-cepts have infiltrated the Academy of MotionPicture Arts and Sciences, and decided to goafter another of nature’s immutable laws.

After all, Evolution may be easier to deny,but Gravity is less controversial.

There are other titles on the Oscar nomina-tions list of peak productions that have piquedmy interest, and may just get me into my arm-chair to have a peek.

If it were up to me, for instance, B.C.’s pub-lic school students would havewon the Academy Award foractors in a supporting role, fortheir part in Prisoners.

And I’d like to see the docu-mentary exposé of just whathappened to Adrian Dix’s elec-tion strategy in 20 Feet fromStardom.

And speaking of last year’s provincial elec-tion, I can’t wait to catch the political poll-ster’s explanation of their work in The MissingPicture.

B.C. politics seems to have been a promin-ent feature in the nominations list. Surely, it’sformer Education Minister (circa the afore-mentioned 2002) and current Premier ChristyClark whose performance is recognized inRoom on the Broom, with former Langley CityMayor and current Education Minister PeterFassbender adding a masterful supporting role.

But let’s not forget the feds, shall we?Especially take note of Steve Harper as IronMan 3, who is already grooming himself totake the lead role for Iron Man 4 in 2015.

And then there’s Toronto’s Rob Ford. Allsorts of titles from the Academy nominationslist jump out at me: there’s Feral and JackassPresents: Bad Grandpa, not to mention Helium(I’m sure he’s tried that, too).

Ford: the epitome of Star Trek into Darkness.

The work by diplomats and world leadersto head off open war between Ukraine andRussia is admirable. But the relentless mediafocus on Ukraine highlights one of the waysin which the major media do not alwaysgive us a complete picture of the world.

Dozens of people have been killed inUkraine during the revolution and fightingbetween protestors and riot police in themain square of Kyiv.

Compare that to the 5.4 million victimsclaimed over a decade by the Second CongoWar between 1998 and 2008.

Western media devoted a tiny fraction ofTV coverage or newspaper space to the con-flict, one which caused more deaths thanany conflict since the Second World War.

We’re used to thinking of wars in Africa,Central America, or Southeast Asia as beingunimportant, unless a European or NorthAmerican power is involved.

This is a dangerous way to see the world.The complexities of the Russian and

Ukrainian political situation are many – theshared history of both regions involves mul-tiple revolutions, invasions, ethnic cleans-ings, and one of the largest famines of the20th century. Yet many of these issues willbe teased out by the media over the nextfew days and weeks. Both the media andthe general public are perfectly capable ofabsorbing information.

However, we will not see many storiesabout the continuing conflicts in countriesaffected by the Congo Wars or the aftermathof the Rwandan Genocide, or of the attacksof the Lord’s Resistance Army from Uganda.

The current major war in Africa, whichhas actually received more coverage thannormal in Canadian media, is that in theCentral African Republic. Like the situa-tion in Ukraine, it is complicated, involvingreligious and regional tensions. It is alreadyleading to the displacement of thousands ofpeople.

As Canada offers aid to Ukraine, weshould think of other nations whereCanada’s soft powers of diplomacy, peace-keeping, and development can also help.

Tue sday, Mar ch 4 , 2014 A7Letters to the EditorLangleyAdvance

Dear Editor,I have lived in Brookswood for more than

40 years. What council is planning is scary.While I support preservation of the rural

character, environmental protection, blend-ed densities, etc. indicated in the revisedOfficial Community Plan, I am notconvinced that the policy goals canbe accomplished with the proposedzoning.

New development would have alittle more than triple the densityof the currently developed area ofBrookswood, as opposed to “one-half the density of Willoughby,” asimplied in a disingenuous and unconvincingpresentation by Aecom. It made me feel likeI was listening to the fox telling me how hewould build a fox-proof henhouse.

Some of council were in office when thedevelopment debacle in Willoughby wentdown. I earnestly hope there have been les-sons learned.

Al French, Brookswood

Excitement turned appallingDear Editor,

I was initially excited to hear about someBrookswood development, as I am in themarket for a home. I was appalled after Iattended the open house at BrookswoodSecondary. This plan is not sound.

I have lived in and out of Brookswood for30 years. I always come back. Brookswoodis attractive to someone looking to buy ahome in a beautiful neighbourhood – what

this development will destroy.Why not expand the development plans

in a reflection of the current makeup of thecommunity? The development should focuson single-family dwellings and a strong planfor old-growth tree retention.

Don’t cheapen this gorgeous placeby recklessly developing it into a seaof condos and townhouses, which Icould purchase 10 minutes away inNorth Langley or South Surrey.

Many condos and townhouses inLangley lay vacant, so the guise of“affordable housing” is ridiculous.

This is an election year. If the coun-cil is foolish enough to pass these bylaws,the residents will want to blame someone.

Ann-Michelle deReus, Langley

Compensate trees’ protectorsDear Editor,

It is time the Township of Langley staff,council, and citizens started to re-think howwe can maintain the beauty of our neigh-bourhoods, which many of us do by keep-ing large cedars, fir, and other trees that arevery costly to maintain.

Why not offer a property owner a taxcredit of $75 per tree, to a maximum of sixtrees ($450), for those trees with a base of24 inches or greater. The trees provide theoverall community with benefits.

Lettersto the

Editor

Dear Editor,If council’s intention is

to invite “public consulta-tion,” wouldn’t it allow formore time to adequatelydiscuss the implications ofthe Coulter Berry project onFort Langley?

The Township has passedfirst and second readings ofbylaws which will renderheritage guidelines control-ling height and density non-binding.

Petrina Arnason, Langley

Possibilities failedDear Editor,

The rumours were outthere: a new proposal forCoulter Berry? I was think-ing we might see one ofthree possibilities: turn thethird floor into a rooftopgarden/patio; a deeperunderground parking lot; ora height restriction of onestorey on another property

of equal size. Coulter Berry2.0 is a visual redesign,however height and densityare still very much an issue.

Andy Schildhorn, Fort Langley

Check out the plansDear Editor,

We encourage all FortLangley residents, in par-ticular, and others with aninterest in Fort Langley totake the opportunity to seethe plans Coulter Berry atthis weekend’s open house,and to appreciate how itwill improve our great com-munity.Carolyn MacLaren, Fort Langley

TourismexaggeratedDear Editor,

Opinion about the singu-lar importance of tourismto Fort Langley businessesis often based upon thewild premise that there are200,000-plus tourists com-

ing to Fort Langley [CoulterBerry virtues extolledbeyond reasonable propor-tions, Feb. 26 Letters, www-langleyadvance.com] – clearlyan uninformed opinion.

The most recent fig-ures for the Fort LangleyNational Historic Site saythat 71,285 people visitedthe site in 2012-2013, a 13per cent drop over the pre-vious year’s attendance.Christine Burdeniuk, Langley

Laws just opinionsDear Editor,

Parliament, B.C.’s legisla-ture, and the Township allmake laws – opinions abouthow we might get along.

The courts have their ownopinions about what thelaws mean, and if you readthe opinions carefully, youwill find that sometimes youwill agree with them – andsometimes you will not.

There are people demand-ing that “the law” be usedto stop Coulter Berry. Willthese people continue to bestaunch defenders of “thelaw” if the Court of Appealsdisagrees with the SupremeCourt decision?

Education

True cost of cuts calculatedDear Editor,

Thanks to Langley superintendent of schools SuzanneHoffman and district staff, we now know how much hasbeen taken out of our school district at the expense of ourchildren [Extra teachers would be $23.5 million, Feb. 27,Langley Advance]. Schools have been closed, classrooms over-crowded, and resources minimal because of it.

Our children go to schools that have 228 fewer full timeteachers than they should have, with 32.6 fewer librarians.

Over the past 12 years, children in our community havebeen shortchanged.

Women in AviationWorldwide Week is markedlocally with a two-day event.

by Heather [email protected]

The skies above the LangleyRegional Airport are going to bebuzzing with aircraft.

Local flyers have volunteeredfor free flights for the event TheSky’s No Limit – Girls Fly Too.

There are 1,500 seats availableon the free flights March 8 and9, part of the event to encouragewomen and girls to consider avi-ation for careers and recreation.

Kirsten Brazier, a longtimecommercial and bush pilot whohosted this event in the Yukonlast year for 2,300 participants,said seats are assigned to girlsand women with priority goingto those who have not flown insmall aircraft (commercial air-craft flight is not factored in).

And the organizers assignspots either in helicopters or infixed-wing Navions piloted bymembers of the Fraser BluesFormation Demonstration Team.

The event is open to thepublic, and flights are open togirls and women from all overB.C. Now that Brazier lives inLangley Township, she’s hopingto make this event the largestwomen’s aviation celebration inCanada.

It marks Women of AviationWorldwide Week and runs 9a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Advance regis-tration is required for the flights.Register at www.girlsfly2.ca.Admission is free and there’sdisplays, contests and otheractivities as well.

“Studies show that one of themajor barriers to more women

getting involved in aviation andaerospace is the perception thatthese industries are reserved formen, so they don’t even con-sider it,” Brazier said. “We wantto change that. We want girlsand women to seriously thinkabout careers as pilots, air trafficcontrollers, mechanics, or aero-nautical engineers.”

People can explore aircraft ofvarious types, as well as airportfacilities. They can also learnabout women’s aviation historyand contributions.

International Women’s Dayhas been celebrated since 1911,but for women in the aviationand aerospace industries thisdate has even earlier significance

as the anniversary of the firstlicensed female pilot worldwide,on March 8, 1910.

“This is an exciting opportun-ity to attract an underutilizedsector to a field that has manyin-demand jobs,” said LangleyRegional Airport manager GuyMiller. “Our airport, for example,is home to 54 businesses andemploys over 260 people. Thereare many opportunities here andin airports around the world,and we look forward to showinglocal women and girls all that isavailable to them.”

• During the past few decades,while the percentage of female

doctors, law-yers, and busi-ness executivesskyrocketed,the percent-age of womeninvolved inthe sectors ofthe aviationand aerospaceindustriesremains lowand mostlyunchanged.

• Fewer than two per cent ofaircraft maintenance engineersare women.

• Fewer than six per cent ofcommercial pilots are women.

• Fewer than three per cent ofthe Royal Canadian Air Force arewomen.

• Fewer than 10 per cent ofaerospace engineers are women.

A Holocaust survivor isone of the guests at aspecial symposium.

A few tickets are stillavailable for the HolocaustSymposium this Thursdayorganized by the LangleyCentennial Museum.

On the morning ofMarch 6, Holocaust sur-vivor David Ehrlich willbe speaking about hisexperiences includingbeing at the AuschwitzConcentration Camp,and as a war orphan inCanada.

Historian Kit Krieger willbe speaking about thisdark period of modernhistory.

The symposium comple-ments two exhibits pro-vided courtesy of theVancouver HolocaustEducation Centre. Theexhibits are on displayat the museum in FortLangley. More Than JustGames: Canada, andthe 1936 Olympics andFraming Bodies: Sport andSpectacle in Nazi Germanyare on display until March16. Admission to see theexhibits is free.

Admission to the sym-posium is $5 and advanceregistration is required.Call the museum at 604-

532-3536 to sign up.The symposium takes

place at the TownshipCivic Facility from 9 a.m.to 12:15 p.m. on March 6.

The 1936 Olympics werein Germany at a criticaljuncture between AdolfHitler becoming chancel-lor and the outbreak of theSecond World War.

The world faced a deci-sion about whether toparticipate.Canadianathletes,particu-larly youngJewishathletes,were in a dilemma. Shouldthey follow their dreamsto the world’s greatest ath-letic competition or shouldthey boycott the 1936Olympics?

“These exhibit shedssome light on someof their stories,” saidmuseum curator KobiChristian, “and puts the1936 Olympics into con-text.”

More Than Just Games:Canada and the 1936Olympics brings togetherphotos, documents, filmclips and memoirs to tellthe little-known storyof the Canadian boycottdebate and Canada’sparticipation in the 1936Games.

It deals with themes ofracism and moral decision-making with an emphasison the experiences ofindividual Canadian andGerman-Jewish athleteswho made difficult deci-sions about their participa-tion.

The exhibit also shinesa spotlight on the untoldstory of Matthew Halton,a respected Canadian jour-

nalist whowrote critic-ally aboutthe Naziregime from1933 to1936, and

It’s official: the LangleyRivermen are the 2013/14 B.C.Hockey League regular seasonchampions.

Wins by the Rivermen overtheir Mainland Division rivalPrince George Spruce KingsThursday and Friday clinchedthe league title, and with it, thecoveted Ron Boileau MemorialTrophy.

This marks the first time inthe Rivermen’s short history thatthey have accomplished this feat.

“It means a great deal,”Rivermen head coach BobbyHenderson said. “At the end ofthe day, they [the players] wona regular season championshipand that was a goal of ours com-

ing out of the gate. It’s a nicemilestone, for sure. It’s some-thing these guys can carry withthem for the rest of their hockeycareers and the rest of their lives.It’s quite an honour.”

The ’Men sealed the dealFriday with a 2-1 win overthe Spruce Kings at the PrinceGeorge Coliseum.

With the victory, the Rivermenfinished the season with aleague-best 37-13-3-5 record for82 points.

The next closest team in theoverall standings was the IslandDivision champion VictoriaGrizzlies (37-15-3-3), who gar-nered 80 points.

Henderson said that, while bal-anced scoring (six players with40 or more points) and a stingydefence (their 155 goals allowed

over 58 games ranked secondamongst BCHL teams) wereobvious factors in the team’s suc-cess this season, team characterwas crucial.

“The main ingredient wasthe character in our [dressing]room,” Henderson said. “Webattled through a lot of adversity,from our schedule, to differentinjuries and illnesses, to all kindsof internal stuff. For them to stayfocused for 58 games says a lot

about the character in our room.”In the Rivermen’s final regular

season game on Friday, Langley’sMatt Ustaski snapped a 1-1 tiewith what turned out to be thegame winner at the 8:57 mark ofthe third period.

Ustaski’s team-leading 29thof the season was set up bydefenceman Viktor Dombrovskiyand rookie forward DarienCraighead.

The ’Men trailed 1-0 after the

first period and knotted the gameat a goal apiece on a goal fromtheir captain Mitch McLain 7:31into the middle frame.

Rivermen goaltender BrockCrossthwaite stopped 23 of 24Spruce Kings shots to earn his24th win of the season, sec-ond amongst BCHL goaltend-ers behind West Kelowna’sAndy Desautels (27). However,Crossthwaite played nine fewergames than Desautels.

Crossthwaite had an all-starcalibre regular season with a 24-9-1 record, a 2.42 goals againstaverage (third best in the BCHL),three shutouts (tied with fourother goalies for first in theleague), and a .913 save percent-age (sixth in the BCHL).

Rivermen 5,Prince George Spruce Kings 3In Thursday’s opener of their

two-games-in-two-nights set atthe Prince George Coliseum,McLain snapped a 3-3 tie with6:27 to go in regulation time.

Jadon Cohee sunk thegame-winning basket withunder a minute to go,lifting the Walnut GroveGators past Surrey’s HolyCross Crusaders 66-65 onSaturday at the LangleyEvents Centre.

The match-up decidedthe third and fourth placeteams in the Fraser Valleysenior boys Quad A basket-ball championship tourna-ment.

“On a basis of one to 10,I’d say a 10,” said Gatorshead coach George Bergenwhen assessing the play ofCohee, a Grade 12 guardwho finished with a team-best 30 points versus theCrusaders. “But it was ateam effort.”

The game pitted theprovincially No. 3-rankedCrusaders against the fifth-ranked Gators.

Holy Cross held a slim65-64 lead before Cohee’sclutch shot decided theoutcome.

The Crusaders’ final shotbounced around the rimbut stayed out as the gameclock ticked down to zero.

Walnut Grove playedfor third after losing 64-40to Coquitlam’s GleneagleTalons in one of two FraserValley semifinals heldFriday at the LEC.

Last year, theGators won the FraserValley Triple A titleand went on to cap-ture the B.C. cham-pionship.

This year, at theQuad A level, theFraser Valley zone isconsidered by manyto be the toughest inthe province, withseven teams rankedin the top 10 in B.C.

“I think the FraserValley is tough. Itwas tough when Iplayed, it was tough10 years ago, it’stough now,” Bergensaid.

Next up for theGators is the B.C.senior boys Quad Achampionships at theLEC.

The Gators’ first game isnext Wednesday, March12, at 8:30 a.m., against

Queen Charlotte.The tourney runs

until March 15.Asked if he

thought the winover Holy Crosswill give the Gatorsmomentum goinginto the provincials,Bergen said, “I’dsay every win givesyou momentum,whether it’s earlyin the season orlater, but certainlywinning that one isa huge momentumboost.”

He added, “Wehave a tough draw[at the provincials],but we’re going tobattle hard.”

FINAL BUZZER:Running simultan-

eously at the LEC over theweekend were the B.C.

junior boys and junior girlschampionships.
