A standoff involving dozensof police officers, someheavily armed, endedpeacefully on Friday.

by Matthew [email protected]

An elderly man at the centreof a massive police response wasquietly loaded into an ambulanceat 11:30 a.m. Friday, ending atwo-hour stand-off with about 50police officers inWalnut Grove.

The incidentbegan at about9:30 a.m., when awoman in the townhouse around87th Avenue and 207th Streetcalled the police, concernedabout her husband’s behaviour.

Police surrounded the homeand evacuated nearby residences,said Cpl. Patrick Davies of theLangley RCMP. Nearby roadswere blocked by police cruisersand tape.

“His wife is out of the homeand safe,” Davies said at the

scene shortly after the standoffbegan. Neighbours were alsoaccounted for and away from theresidence.

The man was apparently alonein the home. Davies could notsay if the man had any weaponsin his possession.

The man suffers from whatDavies called an “ongoing med-ical situation.”

Whether the man had anyguns or not, police were appar-ently taking no chances. TheEmergency Response Team (ERT)

was called in, andofficers wearingbulletproof vests,helmets, and armedwith high poweredrifles were gatherednear the townhouse.

The Air One helicopter circledabove the home, and a police dogwas also on the scene.

A group of ERT membersentered the man’s home, gunsdrawn and with some officersholding riot shields, at about11:30 a.m.

A few minutes later, Daviesconfirmed that the man was incustody and was okay. He wasnot handcuffed, and got into an

ambulance shakily, but under hisown power, a few minutes later.The man was taken to hospital tobe assessed.

“Better safe than sorry,” Daviessaid.

Davies could not say if thepolice had ever had any dealings

with the man in the past due tohis medical issues.

Police have not releasedinformation about whether anyweapons were actually found inthe man’s home, or on exactlywhat sparked the standoff andmassive police presence.

Daffodils symbolize cancer fightCanadian Cancer Society (CCS) volunteers June Mainwood and Peggy Robson accepted donations for the Society at the Walnut GroveCommunity Centre on Saturday. A vase of yellow daffodils decorated the table that the two volunteers sat behind. April is DaffodilMonth nationally, and the CCS is asking Canadians to make a donation and wear its signature daffodil pin. The daffodil campaign waspiloted in B.C. last year and has been launched nationally this year.

Transportation

Golden Earstoll chargestake a dipStarting this month, variabletolls will begin on thecrossing connecting Langleyto Maple Ridge.


Lower tolls are coming to theGolden Ears Bridge – for driversheading across during off-peakhours.

After hinting last year thatit was looking into alternativetolling schemes, TransLink hasannounced a six-week pilot pro-gram to start on April 15.

All the tolls will be discountedby 30 per cent from 7 p.m. to5:59 a.m. every weekday, aswell as on weekends startingFriday night, and on statutoryholidays.

The test period will includeboth the Easter and May longweekends.

That would cut the toll fora car with a transponder from$2.80 to $1.95 during off peakhours, or from $3.95 for pay-as-you-go to $2.75.

A large truck would see off-peak tolls with a transponder cutfrom $8.40 to $5.90, or on thepay-as-you-go system from $9.55to $6.70.

“We will be interested to seeif offering a lower rate at off-peak periods will lead to sometime-shifting of trips by currentGolden Ears Bridge customers,”said TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis.“Shifting the time of discretion-ary trips from peak to non-peakperiods is one way to makebetter use of existing networkcapacity.”

Jarvis added that it will beinteresting to see if driverschange their route from the PortMann Bridge to the Golden Earsduring weekend and eveninghours

“We will be watching to seeif these toll discounts achievea ‘tipping point’ at which theconvenience and time savingsare seen to be worth the cost,”Jarvis said.

The data from the trial will bestudied, and a new tolling struc-ture may be based on any chan-ges that result.

The removal of a trailer froma Langley lot has netted aformer politician a criminalconviction.

by Simone BlaisPostmedia Network Inc.

Former Coquitlam mayor JonKingsbury has been found guiltyof three criminal counts in B.C.Supreme Court today.

Justice Miriam Gropper foundKingsbury guilty of fraud over$5,000, personation with intentto gain advantage, and causingsomeone to utter a forged docu-ment. He was acquitted on thefirst count against him, relatingto theft over $5,000.

Gropper appeared via videolink from Courtenay, and sheread her judgment to those inattendance at New Westminter’sRoom 102 – which is fitted withPlexiglas barriers separating thegallery. The audio was not pipedinto the gallery, however, leav-ing the justice’s reasons for judg-ment virtually inaudible. Written

submissions had not been postedto the B.C. Supreme Courtonline database of judgments byMonday morning either.

Crown counsel Brian McKinleyexplained after the judgmentthat Gropper found Kingsburyhad believed he had a “colour ofright” to take the trailer, becausehe was owed money after afailed business deal with JeanAussant, whose trailer was inthe shop.

Defence counsel Peter Schmidthad argued in his closing sub-missions that his client took hisformer business associate’s trav-el trailer because he was owed

significant sums of money andhad an “honest belief” that thetrailer belonged to him.

But McKinley said Gropperhad dismissed Kingsbury’s ver-sion of what transpired betweenhim and staff at the TravelhomeRV Marketplace in Langley, fromwhere the trailer was taken.

The former mayor signedAussant’s name on a workorder on Aug. 14, 2008 atthe Travelhome dealership toobtain the trailer, which hethen drove to the Shuswap andparked pending civil litigation.Kingsbury has been the lawfulowner of that trailer since theout-of-court settlement.

The trailer was reported stolenon Aug. 28, 2008, however,shortly after Aussant was calledby dealership staff asking that hereturn the RV because the partshad arrived for the necessarywarranty repairs. Langley RCMParrested Kingsbury more thantwo months later, on Oct. 8.

The former mayor will besentenced at a later date, whichwill be decided on April 7 at theearliest.- Simone Blais is a reporter with the Coquitlam Now

Shredding personal documents– like several local residentsdid Saturday at the LangleyCostco – is one of several waysyou can protect yourself fromidentity theft.

by Troy [email protected]

Kyle Cumming leaned on a shop-ping cart filled with boxes of person-al information, as he waited to havethe items safely shredded in theLangley Costco parking lot Saturdayafternoon.

The weekend errand to dispose ofhis papers was worth the effort forthe Langley Meadows resident, whovisited Costco for the free, LangleyRCMP-hosted shred-it event.

Residents were invited to bring alltheir old documents and personalinformation to be destroyed in anenvironmentally friendly way.

Shred-it offers its truck and servi-ces for free at both the spring andfall disposal events.

“Shred-it is a good corporate part-ner,” said Dianne Robinson of theLangley RCMP, as she handed abox-full of documents to a Shred-itemployee standing inside the com-pany’s truck.

According to the Langley RCMP,shredding your documents is themost effective way of protectingyourself from identity theft, whichoccurs when someone wrongfullyobtains and uses your personalinformation to commit fraud or theft,or for other purposes.

There are many ways someone canaccess your personal information.

To protect yourself from identitytheft, you should:

• be cautious about sharing your personalinformation;

• immediately sign the reverse side of a newcredit card and destroy any old cards by cuttingthem into small pieces;

• never give your PIN number to anyone;• look at your bank account often and notify

your bank of discrepancies immediately;• only provide personal information over

the phone or through the mail when you haveinitiated the contact;

• protect your mail by removing it from yourmailbox promptly;

• file a change of address notification withCanada Post before you move;

• pay attention to billing cycles – if bills failto arrive, contact companies to ensure bills havenot been fraudulently redirected; and

• check out the Canada Post website at www.canadapost.ca/postalsecurity for identity theftprevention tips.

To prevent mail theft, you should:• retrieve your mail as soon as possible after

delivery – don’t leave mail unattended in yourmailbox overnight; and

• have someone retrieve your mail on a dailybasis when you are away from home. Or, for a

small fee, Canada Post will hold your mail at thedelivery office and deliver it upon your return.

If you receive mail that isnot yours, do not leave it in anunprotected area.

Write “Delivered to wrongaddress” or “not at this address” onthe front of the envelope. Depositthe letter into an outgoing mail slotof a Canada Post mailbox at yourearliest convenience.

Computers have become handyinstruments for savvy thieves look-ing to poach private information.

To prevent your identity frombeing stolen on the computer, youshould only share personal informa-tion on trusted and secure websites.

Secure sites begin with “https:”.Don’t open suspicious email and

use anti-virus software to filter youremail.

Wipe your computer hard drivesif you sell or dispose of an old com-puter and use a firewall or InternetSecurity Software to prevent hackersfrom accessing your data.

Making lightning helped aLangley teen power his wayto a science fair gold.

by Heather [email protected]

Ronel Dreyer is accustomedto having lighting in her livingroom.

The Yorkson area mom saidthere’s even benefits to havingher son’s Tesla coil used in thehouse.

In addition to shooting off light-ing, the Tesla coil also gives offozone which freshens the air.

Etienne Dreyer, 15, built thecoil which has won him an all-expenses paid trip to Ontario forthe CanadaWide ScienceFair in May.

The home-schooledstudent wasswarmed byinterest at theFraser Valley Regional ScienceFair and was able to fire up hismachine about once every halfhour to demonstrate.

Judges at the fair held March29 to April 1 at the Universityof the Fraser Valley picked theLangley teen and a handful ofothers in the region to attend.

The local teen is intrigued bythe work of Tesla in the late1800s.

“He produced sparks up to 130feet,” Etienne said.

Etienne started to work lastNovember on a scaled-down ver-sion of the coil, intended to sendelectricity wirelessly (the light-ening that shoots of is spurts ofexcess power).

“My first prototype was kindof sucky,” helaughed. “Itonly sparked13 inches.”

In January,he found outabout the sci-ence fair and had to work quicklyto make deadlines.

The contraption in his mother’sliving room was possible withoff the shelf hardware and elec-tronics store items. A Canadian

Tire cutter has beenmodified to help withtiming the electricalimpulses. Some friendsprovided brokenmicrowave ovens thatprovide the transform-ers. Etienne jokes that

he’s lost track of how many tripsthere have been to Home Depot.

Despite the impressive displayof light, the real hazard comesfrom the magnetic energy createdby a Tesla coil.

“I was running it in my roomand one of my school calculatorswas near,” he explained.

The calculator was ruined, andhe’s careful to turn off devicesand take other precautions before

firing up the coil.“You’ve really got to have

respect for that kind of power,”he said.

Science has been a life-longpassion for Etienne.

“As far as I can remember,”he said about when his intereststarted. Of course some mischief

by an older brotherhelped.

“My older brotherwould show me howto fill baggies with bak-ing soda and vinegar,”Etienne explained.

Once he started working on hisTesla coil, he discovered that hisgrandfather, an engineer in SouthAfrica, had built one when hewas young.

As he grew, his interest wentin an electrical direction, andhe’d like his future to include it,as well. He may have to makesuch decisions earlier than moststudents since he will graduatehigh school by the end of thissummer and hopes to have aPh.D by 24.

Etienne sees it as vital toexplore things like the Tesla coiland electrical issues.

“There’s a big energy crisisgoing on, and it’s only going toget worse,” he commented.

That’s one of the reasons hewas disappointed that therearen’t more students taking partin the fair.

“I think there just isn’t muchawareness about it,” he said.

Our View

Youth engagedin understanding

Kudos to Michelle Sparrow [Students takepart in mock federal election, page A11]and anyone else who is making an effort toengage today’s youth – indeed, anyone – inthe democratic process.

The past federal election saw a markeddrop in participation by eligible voters, com-pared to previous years. And pollsters arefinding that the current election campaign isdrawing even less interest still.

Perhaps it’s a simple lack of understand-ing among Canadian citizens.

Perhaps they don’t understand howimportant it is to get involved as voters.

Perhaps they just don’t understand howgreat a privilege they enjoy in this country.

There is a great deal of talk about theflaws in our electoral system, but those whoare doing the talking should not be mis-construed: they are not (for the most part,anyway) talking about throwing the baby outwith the bathwater; they are talking aboutfinding new and innovative ways of improv-ing the democratic process, of engaging morepeople, making our democracy… well…more democratic.

To achieve that, there is first a need formore citizens to understand the current pro-cess, to understand the importance of takingcharge of the process, and most importantly,to understand that it is an opportunity to setthe course for our own destiny.

Getting young people involved, even in amock forum, is a great opportunity to buildan interest in political education.

And if youthful enthusiasm shames a fewmore adults to recognize their responsibilityto sustain the democracy that their childrenhope to enjoy, then so much the better.

The whole debate issue keeps coming upevery election.

Which political party leaders get to talk;which ones don’t.

Whose empty promises deserve to be prom-ulgated among the ordinary folk; whose liesaren’t supported by enough zealots to beworthy of spreading to the unwashed masses.

Which leaders get to prod more Canadiantelevision viewers to switch to an Americanchannel for a couple of hours,and which leaders get to leadthose viewers by example.

Once again, Elizabeth Mayis on her soapbox, demandingequal time with the Big Boysfor her opportunity to toot theLiberal horn…

Oops! Did I say Liberal?Ms. May is actually the leader of the Green

Party, isn’t she?Well, now I have to admit to some confu-

sion.Last time she muscled her way into a nation-

al election debate, she sounded an awful lotlike she was debating on behalf of the federalLiberal Party.

Indeed, poor Stephane Dion (Rememberhim? He’s the first Canadian Liberal leaderever to get dumped by his party without hav-ing served at least a few minutes as primeminister) might not have done as well as hedid in that debate, if May hadn’t played thepart of his trusty sidekick.

All the formal rules aside – which actuallychange from election to election, dependingon the whims of the media moguls who doleout bits of expensive air time here and thereto suggest that they care about such conceptsas “civic duty” or “corporate citizenship” or“CRTC requirements” – the real reason Mayshouldn’t have a seat at the Big Boys’ tableis that she apparently doesn’t understand the

most basic, unwritten rule: as a political partyleader, she’s supposed to debate her ownparty’s platform, not somebody else’s.

Considering her performance last time theylet her out of the stable, it’s easy to see whyeach of the Big Boys would love to see the oldmare trot alongside the thoroughbreds.

M. Duceppe, the Bloc head, has nothingto lose. May will have no impact in Quebec,where the most politically savvy electorate inthe nation will appreciate his magnanimousgesture to democracy.

Jack N’Dip Layton has perhaps the most tolose from a surge in Green support, as votersupport for Green and the NDP has traditional-ly been indirectly proportional to one another– as one goes up, the other goes down, andvice versa… but that would only be a factor

if May does well in the debate– and actually debates on behalfof her own party. So based onpast performance, he, too, canafford to look like a magnani-mous upholder of democracy.

Big Mike Ignatieff’s supportfor May is obvious. There’s anadvantage to having two people

debating for Liberal platforms, while all theother parties get only one each. Plus there’sthe outside chance she might actually debatesome Green points and suck a few votes awayfrom Iggy’s chief rival, the NDP.

But Stevie Harper’s likely motivation forwanting May in the debate is probably themost Machiavellian of all.

Remember what sank the Liberal battleship– er, okay, tugboat – in the last election? Itwas Dion’s stridently green environment-firststrategy.

If May gets up on her hind legs in front of anational television audience and spouts a fewGreen platitudes in between supporting Iggythe way she did Stephane, Harpo and Crüewill make the connection in a happy new setof attack ads, and the IggyLibs are toast.

Unless the Big Boys come up with honestreasons (ha! fat chance!) for having May cometo the dance with them, she should stay homeand watch American Idol, or whatever.

Dear Editor,I went with my wife, 11-year-old daugh-

ter and five-year-old son to walk a trail ina bird sanctuary area along the NicomeklRiver, from 50th Avenue and 198th Streetall the way into the downtown.

The trail is paved most of the way, andvery scenic. There are benches and pondsthat, for the most part, are kept up verynicely. What is not kept up or enforced isthe dog-walking.

We were at the far end of the trail, whereit comes out of Hi-knoll Park, just getting tothe bridge that crosses the river, when wewere stopped by a pit-bull-cross dog.

The dog was very aggressive, with itshair up and lots of growling and barking.We met it in the middle of a field – and on-leash area – and there was no owner near.

We backed out and went home.It was not the first time we have had an

negative altercation with dogs in the area.For some reason, people feel that the rulesare okay to break with their dogs.

We often see people all over the trail withtheir animals, but no poop bags.

I used to go down to those areas whenI was 13. There were no trails and it waspristine. You would hear pheasants all day,and run into ducks, grouse, and geese. Ihave not heard a pheasant in three years.

Dog owners must put their dogs on leash-es and pick up their excrement. The lazyones are showing no regard for others orthe environment.

The trail should welcome everyone andtheir dogs, but the rules need to be enforcedfor the irresponsible.

I called the city, and they recommendedthat the next time I am in the middle of afield with my two children being harassedby a possibly dangerous animal, I bring acellphone so I can call for help.

I don’t wish all of the responsible dogowners to take offence.

Dear Editor,TransLink’s FAQ bro-

chure, dated March 2011and handed out at a recentpublic information meetingfor the proposed Park-and-Ride and Transit Exchangeproject and HighwayOne underpass, states:“TransLink is currentlyreviewing the pay parkingpolicy for all Park & Rides.At this time no final deci-sion has been made whethera fee will be charged.”

The proposed park-and-pide should remain free forbona fide users.

The proposal is the sec-ond replacement of theWalnut Grove Park-and-Ride, south of 88th Avenue,west of 204th Street. The

land was owned by theTownship of Langley, andconstruction in the early1980s was made possible bya grant from the Ministry ofMunicipal Affairs.

BC Transit buses usedit for routes that servedWalnut Grove; CascadeCharter Service buses alsostopped there. I used thelatter service daily, whenmoving into Walnut Grovein February 1991.

The park-and-ride wasfree when it opened justin time for EXPO 86, andremained free till 2001when it was closed and thesite became part of the landdeal, for the reconstruc-tion of the 200th StreetInterchange.

An off-ramp from High-way One was supposed tobe built through it. Some ofyour readers may rememberthat the consortium changedits mind, and built a totallydifferent facility, one thatwould not need the rampthrough the park-and-ride,and its land.

At that time, TownshipCouncil, based on sugges-tions from many membersof the public, includingthe Committee for a RealInterchange, could havedemanded that the park-and-ride remain as is.

But Mayor Kurt Albertsand council did not. Thatstarted quite an acrimoniousfight for an alternative, tem-porary park-and-ride some-where near the Colossus,which also became free.

TransLink’s currentbrochure calls the latterpark-and-ride the “currentfacility.”

This is not the wholehistoric truth. If the newpark-and-ride would requirea fee for parking, (which islikely, due to TransLink’sfinancial challenges), itwould add injury to insult,robbing Langley residentsfirst of the Walnut GrovePark-and-Ride, and then 10years later, developing asecond replacement facilitythat requires users to payfor parking.

In light of what happened10 years ago in WalnutGrove, it should be a giventhat parking remain freefor bona fide users, even iffees would be charged at allother park-and-ride facilitiesoperated by TransLink.

Aldergrove

RCMPmake citizens happierDear Editor,

I just cannot let Scott McDonald get away unscathedwith his comments [Thanks for borderline patrols, April 1Letters, Langley Advance].

Perhaps he has never waited patiently for up to two hoursto reach the Aldergrove border crossing, only to have someSOB pretend to want to cross on Zero Avenue and then cutin at the duty-free. Or perhaps he has the luxury of hardlyever having to endure this horrible waste of time. If he wasone of the queue-jumpers caught by the RCMP, good.

Kudos to the RCMP for enforcing a law that makes ordin-ary citizens happier.

Win Bromley, Langley

Line-jumpers tempt road rageDear Editor,

A couple of questions for Scott MacDonald regarding hisperception of misuse of RCMP resources for stopping line-jumpers at the Aldergrove border crossing [Thanks forborderline patrols, April 1 Letters, Langley Advance]: is heone of those jerks who do that, and did they catch him?

I don’t do “road rage,” but I might be tempted in such asituation.

The police are also watching for people smugglingweapons and drugs into our community, and if neededelsewhere, they can drop what they’re doing and respondanywhere in Aldergrove in a matter of seconds.

Campaign signs for fall Townshipcouncil and school board electionswill be kept off centre medians.


A prime location for planting electionsigns will be denied to candidates inLangley Township during fall municipalelections.

On March 28, the council passed a newrule that will ban planting signs in thecentre medians along local roads.

The change in the rules was put for-ward by Councillor Mel Kositsky, as thecouncil debated a number of routinechanges to traffic control bylaws.

“I’ve been waiting for years to do this,”Kositsky said. He has not been a fan ofthe way candidates plant signs in centre

medians, he said.“It’s an eyesore, it’s a hazard,” he said.The bylaw would also apply to can-

didates placing signs in roundabouts,such as the one at 216th Street and 48thAvenue.

Coun. Kim Richter said she thought thenew rule would be overly restrictive andundemocratic, and Coun. Jordan Batemanalso opposed the plan.

However, the majority of council sup-ported it, if somewhat reluctantly.

“I’m almost crying as I think of all myfavourite sign locations that are nowgoing to be taken away from me,” saidCoun. Steve Ferguson as he voted infavour of the change.

The new rules will affect Townshipcouncil and school board candidates,but they will not affect the signs put inplace now by federal candidates. Thosecandidates must obey rules laid down byElection Canada.

A local mother is hoping to letLangley students try out voting,thanks to a national program thatparallels the federal election.


Voting is a right many Canadian adultstake for granted, or don’t feel is worthusing.

So much so, in fact, that in the lastfederal election, more than 40 per cent ofthose eligible didn’t cast a ballot.

Michelle Sparrow has set herself achallenge to engage students in democ-racy, laying the groundwork for them tobecomelifelong vot-ers and par-ticipants intheir gov-ernment.

Sparrow,a longtimeLangleyresidentwho hasfour daugh-ters of her own, said she was thinking ofstarting a project, something that wouldencourage young people, especially girlsand young women, to get involved in theprocess.

She was looking online for similar pro-grams when she found Student Vote.

The program is a non-profit, non-parti-san group that runs parallel elections inridings across the country.

Students in elementary, middle, andsecondary schools get to vote for a slateof candidates in their own riding.

In Langley, that would give themthe choice between five parties, theConservatives, NDP, Liberals, Greens,and the new Pirate Party.

In addition to voting, students take onthe roles of polling clerks and returningofficers for their schools, collecting theballots and keeping the results secret.

The votes are tabulated, and the resultsof the student election are released theday of the official federal election.

“I think it’s a really amazing program,”Sparrow said.

Aside from running a vote, the programalso offers resources for teachers thatallow them to do classroom activities andschool-wide events.

Those can include holding all-candi-dates debates, and following the politicalparties and issues in local newspapersand online.

The Student Vote program is intended

to cultivate a sense of civic duty.The program is in a large number of

schools in parts of Ontario and Alberta,Sparrow said. Right now, about fiveLangley schools have signed up to takepart. Sparrow is hoping to spend the nextweek visiting many more schools anddriving that number higher.

Aside from educating kids, Sparrowhopes the program will actually encour-age more adults to vote.

She said she knows from experiencehow kids can encourage their parents todo something.

If children come home from school firedup about the issues, and talking aboutvoting for a specific local candidate,they’ll want to know why their parentsare, or aren’t, voting.

“The parents have a harder time sittingon the couch when it’s their turn to go tothe polls,” she said.

Sparrow said some students may notlearn about elections or how the govern-ment works in their current classes, sothe Student Vote program can offer thatextra boost of education.

“I truly believe that becoming engagedwith our government and the process isso important,” Sparrow said. “I feel if youcan get the youth excited and connectedwith the voting process, that they willthen share that passion with their par-ents, friends and family who will then inturn show up to the polls.”

Student Vote sends out its voting pack-ages free of charge, so it won’t cost theLangley School District anything for itsschools to take part.

Sparrow has about eight days left toconvince schools to take part.

The deadline for schools to sign up forthe program is April 13.

Students at schools that do sign up willvote a bit earlier than the general public,as the results will be tabulated by thenational Student Vote organization.

The federal general election will be heldon May 2.

Knowledge is power at aLangley Crime PreventionAcademy.by Brett [email protected]

Langley citizens are combatingcrime through the Crime PreventionAcademy.

The free six-week training courseis hosted by the Langley RCMP andcontains workshops covering topicssuch as home security, personalsafety, fraud, identity and auto theft,local community and traffic bylawsand forensics.

“We’re looking at ways to educatepeople on how they can help them-selves,” community policing crimeprevention coordinator, DianneRobinson said. “It’s a key to makingthis a safe community.”

Weekly sessions are split into twoone-hour seminars that run everyWednesday night at a Brookswoodfirehall. The course began on March23 and runs until April 27.

Seventy people signed up for theacademy last year but there wasroom for only 50.

The remaining 20 were taken thisyear.

The plan is to offer the courseannually.

Subjects at March 30 workshopincluded home security and real lifecrime scene investigation.

RCMP auxiliary and communitypolicing officers explored the topic ofhardening your home, and makingit harder for criminals to break andenter and locate valuables.

Some basic tipstouched on leavinglights on, installingalarms, and keepingmoney and jewelryout of sock drawersand away from mat-tresses.

“Bedrooms and liv-ing rooms are hit mostoften,” auxiliary RCMP constableNathalie Moffat said.

Moffat said police regularly seethese rooms upended followingbreak and enters.

“The average B-and-E takes twominutes,” auxiliary constable DeanMcBride said.

Common sense approaches forcrime prevention mean takingresponsibility, thinking like a thief,and taking action.

Citizens were recommended toinstall anti-lift devices like bars,screws, and locks on windows and

patio doors, and making sure theirhomes have solid doors with dead-bolts on them.

They were taught to keep countertops and windowsills dust-free, asthe dust acts like a glove for thieves,making fingerprint identificationnearly impossible.

level sight lines helpmake a home less ofa target for thieves.

Securing laddersand moving drive-way RVs away fromhomes also providerobbers with lessincentive for break-ing into upstairs bed-

rooms and bathrooms.“Knowledge reduces fear,” com-

munity policing crime preventioncoordinator Florence Fowler said.

Barbara Spaans, a crime pre-vention volunteer who was atWednesday’s workshop, said that,even if people only learn one or twothings from the course, then it’sworthwhile.

Hundreds of gymnasts from acrossthe province will flip, tumble, andspin in Willoughby this weekend.by Troy [email protected]

It’s back – the Canadian Linen& Uniform Service BC GymnasticsChampionships have returned to theLangley Events Centre.

In April 2009, it was the first sportingevent ever held at the LEC.

Last April, the LEC hosted the artisticportion of the B.C. championships, whileNew Westminster was the site of thetrampoline and tumbling competition.

The 2011 event, onceagain combining artisticgymnastics with trampo-line and tumbling, startsFriday and runs untilSunday (April 8-10) atthe LEC.

Gymnastics BC alongwith member clubs theLangley GymnasticsFoundation (LGF) andTAG Sport Centre in PortCoquitlam are hostingthe event.

Forty-six clubs fromacross the province– including LGF andWalnut Grove-based FlipCity Gymnastics – will berepresented at the com-petition.

“We’re very excited tohost it again,” LGF pres-ident Garry Geisler said.“It speaks well for thecommunity of Langleyand the events centre.It’s much appreciatedand liked by all the athletes attending.”

Geisler said between 850 and 1,000athletes, as well as coaches, officials, andvolunteers, will be at the LEC over theweekend, which, he said, “adds up to bea pretty good-sized event.”

As for his own athletes, Geisler said forsome of them, the weekend will serve astrials for national-level gymnastics whilefor the younger ones, it will be a chanceto compete against athletes from otherparts of the province.

“They are always excited to go to acompetition, but it’s fun when it’s in yourown backyard, so it’s a great event forthem,” Geisler said.

The championships is Gymnastics BC’slargest and most prestigious event.

“Gymnastics BC is thrilled to return toLangley for the… championships,” said

Sandra Patterson, marketing and com-munications director of Gymnastics BC.“We are confident that everyone whocomes out to the Langley Events Centrewill see B.C.’s best gymnasts in one ofthe province’s best venues, and hosted bythe best volunteers.”

Athletes of all ages and skill levels willcompete for the title of “B.C. champion”in both trampoline and artistic gymnas-tics.

Over three days, 70 provincial cham-pions will be crowned. For some, thiswill be the pinnacle of their competitivecareer; for others it will be the first steptowards representing B.C. and Canada.

The event will also serve as thefinal trial for Team BC and a trip toCharlottetown for the 2011 Canadian

gymnastics champion-ships.

Among the athletesscheduled to competeis Canadian team mem-ber Jason Scott of theRichmond GymnasticsAssociation. Scott, whowill compete in artis-tic gymnastics, is thedefending men’s seniorchampion and looksto retain his crown in2011.

Joining him onthe artistic gymnas-tics floor is ShallonOlsen of the OmegaGymnastics Academyin Coquitlam.

Ten-year old Olsenwas B.C.’s top athleteat the recent CanadaWinter Games and isthe defending nov-ice champion. Olsenalso placed second inCanada in 2010 as a

nine-year-old.For those looking for some high fly-

ing action, 150 of B.C.’s best trampo-line gymnasts will be led by veteransCurtis Gerein and Luke Friesen from theOkanagan Gymnastics Centre in Kelowna.

In Roxburgh’s interactionswith Oliverio, he continued to beimpressed with who she is off thefield in terms of her character andleadership qualities.

“We have recruited a player thatI believe will help our program’sfuture both on and off the field,”Roxburgh said.
