Most expensive mayor’s race in Township history More than $240,000 was spent in three-way race for the municipality’s top job last November FRANK BUCHOLTZ Times Reporter

The 2011 three-way race for the mayor’s chair on Langley Township council was the most expensive mayor’s race in Township history. Among them, the three candidates spent more than $240,000. That total includes the $87,569 spent by the Vote Langley Now

tributions will be published in Tuesday’s Times, but all three candidates received a large number of donations from developers, realtors, wealthy individuals and businesses. Both Froese, through his business JDTurkey Farms, and Kositsky also spent a substantial amount of their own funds on their campaigns. The two most expensive mayor’s campaigns in the past were in 1999 and 2002. In 1999, when incumbent John Scholtens was defeated by Kurt Alberts, it was a fourway race. Also running for mayor were Steve Fer-

guson and Heather McMullan. Scholtens and his Langley Leadership Team slate also spent a significant amount in 2002, when he attempted to unseat Alberts. The LLT also spent a great deal in the 1996 campaign when Scholtens was reelected for his second term as mayor, but much of that money was used to support candidates for council and school board. More details about campaign contributions and spending for Langley Township council, Langley City council and the Langley Board of Education appear on pages 5, 6 and 7.

Arson charges possible in Willowbrook Mall blaze

MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Students attending Youth Futures school were evacuated after someone made several calls threatening a bomb in the building on Tuesday morning. The RCMP bomb sniffing dog was called in and the Explosive Disposal Unit was on standby. All the businesses on the northeast corner of Logan Avenue and Glover Road were behind police tape around 11:30 a.m. until noon. "Our Lower Mainland Police Dog Services did a thorough search of the the exterior first and then went inside but found nothing suspicious," said Langley RCMP Const. Craig van Herk. Students were headed out for a field trip at the time the calls came in so they were able to return back to the classroom after police deemed the building safe. "Now we will start our investigation into who made those calls," said van Herk. Currently there are no suspects and no motive, he said.

A 15-year-old Surrey boy may face a charge of mischief after an arson at Willowbrook Shopping Centre early Monday morning. Langley RCMP and firefighters were called to the exit doors of the Bay around 1 a.m. after a report of a fire. Two teens were arrested at the scene and a shopping cart was ablaze. It appears the cart had been filled with recyclables and those materials, including newspapers were set on fire, said police. There wasn’t any damage to the mall, just to the shopping cart. Police remind store owners to not leave recyclables near their store fronts.

Cyclist struck on Bypass Monique TAMMINGA/Langley Times

A police officer and a bomb sniffing dog check the perimeter of the Youth Futures school building on Tuesday morning after receiving several threatening calls.

A man riding a bicycle was struck on Langley Bypass on Monday afternoon. Around 1:30 p.m., the cyclist was attempting to enter into a business parking lot just north of Fraser Highway when a vehicle hit him. He lost consciousness at the scene but regained it. He was taken to hospital and treated for minor injuries, said police.

Newlyweds’ dog killed by car after home break-in MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Mike and Ashley Curtola have had a difficult start to beginning a life together. The newlyweds’ home was broken into on Monday afternoon and their beloved dog Lola went missing. “She means everything to us,” said Mike on Tuesday. The three year old miniature pinscher/Jack Russell mix got lost after the break in at their home in the 240 Street and 48 Avenue area.

Emotionally distraught, he's been desperately putting up flyers all over his area and has called in a tracker who uses blood hounds to track scents. Mike had gone out around 11 a.m. and returned home at 2 p.m. to find his Rhodesian ridgeback, Lincoln, standing across the street and his front door kicked open. “The first thing I thought was,‘My god, Lola.’” said Mike. He searched frantically for the dog. Neighbours and friends spent Tuesday night searching for the beloved pet, but sadly

on Wednesday morning a woman called the Curtolas to give them the bad news. “Lola had been hit by a car,” said a very distraught Mike on Wednesday. “So many people tried to help us find Lola. It wasn’t the outcome we wanted but we are so grateful to all of these people. We really wanted to thank them.” On top of their dog going missing because of the break-in, the thief or thieves also stole irreplaceable wedding jewelry that belonged to Ashley's mother

and grandmother. Their electronics were also stolen and they aren't sure how many wedding pictures they have lost in the process. “Words can't describe what we are going through right now,” said Mike. On top of wanting to thank the community for the outpouring of support, the Curtolas also wanted to remind everyone that if you see a dog wandering the streets, stop and see if you can help. “It might be someone’s closest best friend.”

20337 Fraser Hwy Langley 604-533-4707 jacksinlangley.com

Langley City Council has backed off plans to ban so-called nuisance businesses from its half of the Willowbrook Shopping Centre. At its March 5 meeting council gave first and second reading to a bylaw which sought to ban adult entertainment stores, adult theatres, adult video stores, arcades, body rub parlours, cheque cashing establishments, currency exchanges, escort services, exotic entertainment, money lending establishments, and pawnbrokers from the C3 (Willowbrook Mall) zone — the only area within the City where these businesses are currently permitted to open if they are not currently operating. However, the receipt of a pair of letters caused several councillors to take a long second look at the bylaw on Monday night. In a March 16 letter, Willowbrook Mall representatives asked that council amend the bylaw to allow cheque cashing establishments, currency exchanges and arcades. A letter signed by a Robert Bittner, however, took council to task over the entire list of banned enterprises. “I find it rather disconcerting that the City is maneuvering into a position to start making moral judgments that affect the residents of Langley City,” he wrote, in a letter dated March 7. “If the City begins to prohibit these establishments, it becomes an issue of local government getting involved in the bedrooms of its citizens. Why should adults not be allowed to enhance their own sexual activities without the City council becoming involved?” “Are we making moral judgments? In this case, I think we are,” said Councillor Gayle Martin, acknowledging Bittner’s letter had given her pause. Martin suggested the bylaw be amended to remove any reference to adult-oriented theatres, entertainment or video stores. “I support Councillor Martin’s amendment but, frankly, I’d like to see the whole thing wiped out,” said Councillor Jack Arnold. “We have picked out things we

think are morally wrong, such as paying too much to cash a cheque. “Basically all these things are not illegal, federally. “We’re making a decision about how people should live their lives,” said Arnold. “We’re not saying ‘You can’t drive too fast and hurt people.’ We’re saying, ‘You can’t go to an arcade and play pinball.’ “That’s too far.” “We said at one time we wanted to have the ability to restrict activities to certain zones. We said people could do this in this particular zone — the C3,” said Councillor Dave Hall. “How many applications did we have in the C3 for (services) listed as banned? There weren’t any.” So, why restrict it further, Hall wondered. The bylaw which permitted the City to restrict ‘nuisance’ activities to a single zone within the City was based on 1998 case law, which directed cities to designate land use, explained City planner Gerald Minchuk. By only allowing them in the C3 commercial zone, such businesses would be prevented from opening in the downtown core. However new case law states the city may prohibit nuisance uses in all zones, he continued. So the new bylaw was drafted and presented to council for its consideration. “Just because we’re legally allowed to do it, doesn’t mean we have to do it,” said Martin. After toying with the idea of sending the bylaw back to staff for another look, council decided in the end to give third and final readings to the first two sections of the bylaw which deal with zoning for community centres, off-street parking and the illegal culture and sale of marijuana, heroin injection and methadone dispensing within the City. The bylaw, as it passed — with only Arnold opposed — also prohibits “teen dance events other than those held in schools, churches and community centres” from operating on all City of Langley land. It effectively closes the door on another teen dance club, similar to one which operated out of the former Legion building for several months last year.

MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

The biggest spender in a bid for a seat at the Langley Board of Education table was newcomer Megan Dykeman who spent $12,666, most of which she contributed herself.

You & The Law

PRESENTS

MUST YOU ACCEPT A RE-HIRE OFFER IF FIRED? Suppose you’re summarily fired for no reason, except that your company is downsizing. Or suppose you are “constructively dismissed”, for example, your company demotes you and slashes your pay, so you quit rather than accepting this breach of contract. In both cases, you’re probably entitled to an amount of damages equal to a period of reasonable notice of employment termination that you should have been given. So, for example, you’ll get damages equal to 6 months’ pay if you should have been given 6 months’ notice. This amount is intended as compensation for your boss’ breach of contract (not as punishment). You, in turn, have an obligation to reduce or “mitigate” your financial loss by looking for alternate employment. So if you find other work before the 6 months are up, this amount of income is deducted from what your boss is obligated to pay you in damages. But what if, after a wrongful dismissal, your employer offers to hire you back for the period of reasonable notice. Must you accept? Do you have to go back to work for the same boss who previously fired you? In a 2008 case, the Supreme Court of Canada decided that if there is no embarrassment, humiliation or indignity involved, and if there is no hostility in the return workplace or other good reason not to return, you must go back. If you refuse to return to a comparable temporary job, you risk losing out on the damages owed to you for the initial wrongful dismissal because of your failure to mitigate. In this case, following a change in the union’s executive, the union’s business agent was wrongfully let go by the union

employer after 23 years of service. He sued for 24 months of reasonable notice, offering to work for 12 months and accept another 12 months’ compensation in place of notice. His employer rejected that proposal, and offered to re-hire him in a comparable job for the balance of the remaining 24 months notice period. He refused, and the Court ultimately decided that, because he didn’t accept this offer and mitigate the loss, he wasn’t entitled to any compensation. However, you don’t always have to go back, as several later cases in BC have illustrated. There are situations where you can legitimately refuse, for example, if you would be forced to accept a significant demotion and pay cut, or if you had been treated badly or were embarrassed in front of co-workers when let go, or if you would be returning to an acrimonious, unwelcoming work environment. The option of being re-hired can therefore be a tricky one if you feel you were treated badly when fired or you’d be apprehensive about returning – you may or may not be legally obligated to return to work, and if you make the wrong choice, you risk losing your compensation for the wrongful dismissal. And what if your employer’s offer to return isn’t very clear about what exactly is being offered, whether in terms of the type of job, compensation or time period? Each case is very dependent on its own particular facts and circumstances. You should seek professional legal advice if faced with this particular mine field.

Incumbent Kim Richter raised and spent $3,699.51. She and her husband Bob put in $749.51. The two newcomers who were elected to council did not get many contributions outside their families.

WE SAY

THEY SAY

Two classes of candidates

Misplaced outcry

n sifting through the masses of pages making up the campaign disclosure statements of the 58 candidates for local office in Langley, one thing becomes blindingly clear. There are two classes of candidates. There are those who run for office, and pay all or almost all of their own expenses. There are more of these than one might expect, and some of them were surprisingly successful. Then there are those who tap others, usually wealthy individuals, developers, business people or unions, to pay for all or most of their campaigns. In Langley City, only one candidate for council, Mayor Peter Fassbender, received donations from developers and wealthy individuals. One other candidate for council, Paul Albrecht, received almost all his funds from public sector unions, including $500 from the union local he heads. In the Township, by contrast, many candidates received heavy funding from developers and businesses. Six were re-elected. Two of the candidates for mayor, Jack Froese and Mel Kositsky, between them spent almost $150,000, while incumbent Rick Green spent far less — just $8,800 on his own campaign. His slate, Vote Langley Now, spent a total of $87,569 on campaigns for eight candidates. Meanwhile, the two new faces elected to Township council financed their campaigns almost entirely from their own or family members’ pockets. David Davis took no outside donations, and Michelle Sparrow raised just $585 outside her family. She was also endorsed by the International Association of Fire Fighters and her name was prominently displayed on their signs and in their ads. The six members of Langley City council took virtually no outside donations as well, with one of them, Rosemary Wallace, spending just $290. In the case for the Board of Education, five of the seven winning candidates got significant amounts of money from labour— notably the Langley Teachers Association and Canadian Union of Public Employees. The public must judge whether all these donations from outsiders influences the behaviour of elected officials. At the very least, it buys these donors a level of access not available to everyone. It is well worth taking a close look at just who donated to the campaigns of those elected. It can be done easily on the City and Township websites.

he outcry over the 100-yearold driver who was let go with a warning after being caught speeding in a school zone could be a harbinger of things to come. The original story noted that the police officer who pulled the centenarian over made a decision not to tarnish the driver’s perfect record. That decision was met by outrage from a number of readers, the majority of them upset by what they perceived as favouritism. Just because the man had lived to a remarkable age, doesn’t mean he should be allowed to get away with speeding — and especially not in a school zone. Very few British Columbians are still able to earn the privilege of having a driver’s licence at the age of 100. Only 15 people in the province who have made it to the century mark are currently licensed, according to ICBC. “Reverse ageism” was one of the phrases used by people who suggested a younger driver would have been ticketed. However, if we look at what’s known about the specifics of this incident, it’s our view that the officer did the right thing. The man was clearly not a bad driver — he had recently had his licence renewed for another five years. He also had the aforementioned spotless record, which at the very least indicates he wasn’t someone who took chances on the road. It’s also worth noting that the day the man was pulled over in the school zone was a day when teachers were on a much-publicized strike. And while the lower speed limit was still in effect, it’s at least arguable about whether there was a “reasonable expectation” that school kids would be in the area. Police officers use their judgement almost every time they engage someone while on the job. Part of their duty is to ascertain when they need to use the full force of their authority. Warnings can be an effective way of ensuring the public is safe. —Saanich News The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Independent board is needed to settle teachers dispute Editor: The B.C. Teachers Federation and the provincial government have been unable to reach a contract agreement after a year of negotiation. As a result, the government has now passed Bill 22 into law. It states no job action can take place until after Aug. 31, and a mediator will be appointed to settle all outstanding issues and advise the government of outstanding issues by June 30. Action will then be taken to resolve these issues by Aug. 31 and bring us, we hope, labour peace in our public school system. Bill 22 imposes severe financial penalties for anyone in the BCTF or anyone associated with it, or anyone else who disregards any of the requirements of the bill. For example, teachers would be fined $475 per day for each day the offence occurs. For an officer of the BCTF, the fine would be not less than $2,500 per day for each day. For the B.C. Public School Employers Association (BCPSEA), the employers, it is $200,000 for each day.

It also deletes a number of issues from the existing agreement. The bill puts our school children first and ensures they will have uninterrupted education. What we need is an independent board of, say, four people who would resolve issues between the BCTF and the BCPSEA. Any issue they could not agree on would be referred to a court for resolution. Should a teacher get paid leave for compassionate care? Public service employees in essential services should not have the right to strike. The taxpayers must come up with funds to pay for government- funded services, therefore, they need to be considered when granting teachers wages and benefits. It may be reasonable to establish basic wage levels and then provide increases based on the cost of living. Strikes in the public service should not be a problem we have to live with. Now is the time for positive action. Eric J. Bysouth, Langley

Vancouver’s ‘Cadillac’ transit is funded by Valley drivers Joshua WASILENKOFF/submitted photo

Crews prepare to tow away a van involved in a single-vehicle crash along 203 Street on Monday evening. Bystander Joshua Wasilenkoff was impressed by the efficiency and professionalism of the emergency workers who responded to his 911 call.

Response to crash was quick, co-ordinated Editor: On Monday (March 19), at 6:25 p.m., I witnessed a car accident on 203 Street in Langley, right in front of the Guys ’n Gals Hair Salon and beside the Army & Navy. The van crashed on 203 Street, between the crosswalk in front of an apartment building, and smashed into a fire hydrant and broke a “no left turn” sign. Fortunately no one was injured. The driver was a middle-aged man. I reported the accident to 911 immediately and within reasonable time

The

the City of Langley’s fire department and Langley RCMP came along to assist and do their job. The emergency team was calm and efficient. The fire department made the call to a towing truck company to come and pick up the damaged van so traffic could keep moving. I would like to thank the City of Langley’s EMS team for doing great work. Thanks to the public for remaining calm. Joshua Wasilenkoff, Langley

Editor: I’d like to add my voice to the massive number of people who continue to be outraged by the ongoing propensity of people such as TransLink board members and mayors whom I did not vote for, cannot elect, and whom I cannot hold accountable, to feel free to add tax after tax after tax. They know they cannot and will not be held to account for their outrageous spending habits. TransLink must, at the very least, learn to spend within its current revenue stream, which is already outrageously punitive. If that means the Evergreen Line must be delayed 10 years, then delay it. If that means the Evergreen Line is never built, then so be it.

TransLink, at best, is taxation without representation. It flies completely in the face of the basis on which democracy itself was founded.

“TransLink, at best, is taxation without representation.” Outlying areas, such as Langley where I live, have been used and abused to fund this bloated and outof-control bureaucracy for far too long. The per capita contribution of the ballooning gas taxes provided by outlying area populations (where using your vehicle is not an

option) far exceeds the contribution per capita of the population in Vancouver. It is outrageous that I am used to fund Vancouver’s Cadillac system. To sum up: No more taxes, of any kind. Learn to live within your revenue streams. If you must increase revenues, then listen to the proposal by John Cummins of the BC Conservative Party and pass laws upon yourselves: one per cent (virtually nothing) of each municipal budget be rededicated to Translink. That proposal would ensure each municipality would contribute according to its ability, instead of the current model of imposing costs without accountability. John Dueckman, Langley

It Bradshaw features interviews with Fassbender and Councillor Teri James, who is also executive director of the Downtown Langley Business Association. It also shows events such as the Good Times Cruise-In and BBQ on the Bypass, new developments that have come to the City under the Downtown Master Plan, and a number of scenes from the Township, including Fort Langley, the Langley Airport and Trinity Western University. Fassbender told the chamber audience that the show offers more proof of the growing importance of both Langley City and Township in the regional and national context, and he is hopeful the show will boost investor interest in the area. “These kind of things get the word out,” he said. He noted that, under the Downtown Master Plan, $160.8 million has been added to the assessment rolls for the City with five separate residential and commercial developments. The City has an “open for business” attitude, he said, and want to attract investors from all over the world, as it works to build population density and attract new businesses. He also said that the City is offering tax incentives to the owners of existing commercial properties, to make the downtown area more attractive. The Profiles segment will be used as a promotional initiative, in partnership with Tourism Langley. It will showcase the City to a regional and national audience in both Canada and the United States and further attract business, investment and tourism and to promote the City of Langley as “The Place to Be!” Township Mayor Jack Froese also spoke at the chamber dinner.

New drive-through Monk BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

Drivers who’d prefer a gourmet coffee to a Styrofoam cup of joe while they get their oil changed will soon have a convenient option. On Monday evening, Langley City council granted a development permit for work to begin on a new Wired Monk coffee house at 20112 Fraser Highway. The property, located on the south side of the highway, sits next to Kostas Greek restaurant and already contains a fourbay Mr. Lube. Once complete, it will be the first Wired Monk to include a drivethrough lane, which will be long enough for nine vehicles to queue at a time, explained Pete Lovick of PJ Lovick Architects, who made the presentation to council at a committee of the whole on March 19. To keep wait times down, the coffee shop will offer a limited menu at its drive-through window, said Lovick. The 1,650 square foot building will also offer patio seating on its north side, separated from Fraser Highway by landscaping. Access to the Wired Monk will be by right-in and right-out only from Fraser Highway, Lovick said. Drawings also indicate vehicles will be able to enter and exit from a back lane to the south of the lube shop. Although a few council members expressed concern about idling vehicles and wondered whether signs could be put up asking motorists to turn off their engines once a certain number of vehicles had entered the line up, only Councillor Rosemary Wallace voted against the development, saying she couldn’t support a drive-through. “I give them kudos for never having had a drive-through (before),” she said. Construction on the new Wired Monk is expected to begin this spring.

Submitted

The new Wired Monk will be the first of its kind to include a drive-through lane for motorists. Construction of the coffee shop will begin this Spring.

MEL DICK, age 48, Abbotsford ambulance paramedic, father of Rachel and Tim, husband of Monika.

WHAT?

The world unfolds in minutes each day… Provincial, national and global news, sports and entertainment.

I am running the 55K Ultra Marathon on Discovery Trail with Ray Zahab because I like the idea of just running at a pace for a very long time. I started running seriously in 2009, and have run 10Ks, some half marathons and a full marathon, so this seems like the next logical challenge for me as a runner.

WHY?

When I am by myself and running I usually pray. I remember kids in Africa who need to walk for miles to get water; they inspire me to run. They need clean, accessible water so that they can go to school and grow up healthy. They need people like us to help them, so that they can live. I run past one pasture quite regularly. Much as I like steak, milk and cheese, I hate the smell of cows. When it rains, the stuff from the pasture ﬂows onto the street, and it stinks. Yet kids in Africa are often stuck with water from sources that have cattle drinking from them and polluting the water. I run because it is the least I can do for these kids.

Fast Fact #1: $35 gives a person clean water for life.

TransLink’s Transit Police are under renewed criticism after a report for the Edmonton Police Service warned the Metro Vancouver transit security model is one that should not be emulated. The report by Edmonton Police Acting Supt. Garry Meads flags jurisdictional overlaps between Transit Police — who act as a supplemental service with full policing powers mainly along SkyTrain lines — and the local police or RCMP who do have specific geographical responsibilities. “This type of arrangement has resulted in much confusion and inefficiencies,” Meads said in the April 2011 report, adding he was told the model will likely

never be repeated in B.C. There’s often uncertainty about whether Transit Police or local police should respond to a call, he said, resulting in “negotiation” between the forces and “frustration” among stakeholders. “There have been a number of leadership changes in the Transit Police over the past year or two which have resulted in differing philosophies with respect to their deployment,” Meads said. He said it should not have been a surprise that the TransLink policing model would be challenging. “When you put fully trained police officers in a transit environment and restrict their work to transit properties, they realize fairly quickly that transit crime and disorder work is not that interesting for a police officer,” he said.

That can lead to transit officers looking further afield from transit lines for crime, worsening the “confusion over jurisdictional boundaries.” Meanwhile, he said, other police forces sometimes “refuse to take the call” because of the existence of 167-officer Transit Police. Since the report was filed, Edmonton’s deputy chief, Neil Dubord, was appointed chief officer of the Transit Police, filling a post that had been vacant since September 2010. Dubord rejects the report’s depiction of Transit Police, adding it would make no sense to scrap the force and switch to having individual RCMP detachments and local police forces share the duty of patrolling transit lines. Doing so would mean “varying levels

of consistency of police service” as passengers pass through multiple different police jurisdictions. “The Transit Police provide that standard consistency of police service,” he said. Dubord said there is no confusion over jurisdiction — local police have the authority to handle whichever cases they want in transit areas and dispatchers coordinate the response. Transit Police have no homicide squad, for example, and other serious crimes are often handled by other police. As a result, Dubord said, local officers handle half of transit-related violent crime while Transit Police handle 67 per cent of property crime on the system and 92 per cent of transit-related drug crime. He said Meads spoke only to one watch commander, not senior officers. Transit Police spend $29 million a year — funded mainly by TransLink fares, gas taxes and property tax — and the force’s budget is slated to rise to $35 million by 2014 and $42 million by 2021. Meanwhile, Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman is demanding the release of a separate audit of Transit Police conducted by Vancouver Police. Dubord said the review findings will be made public in the months ahead but is in draft form now. Bateman said TransLink should get no more tax dollars until it scraps the force, which he argues will be mostly irrelevant once SkyTrain fare gates are installed, eliminating officers’ main job of writing fare evasion tickets. “The Transit Police should be disbanded and local police forces should be given back full jurisdiction over SkyTrain lines in their community,” he said. “Younger officers would be absorbed by forces across the Lower Mainland, and older officers — many of whom are doubledipping by collecting pensions from other forces — could go back into retirement.” TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis previously said he wants Transit Police to concentrate more on fare evasion on buses once fare gates are operational. Dubord said the force is looking at how it can bolster bus security, but said it’s too early to provide details. SFU criminologist Rob Gordon said scrapping the Transit Police would only make sense if Metro Vancouver also shifted to a single regional police force.

Yellow is the colour of sunshine. It spells happiness and joy. Ribbons of yellow are used as a sign of hope, and to welcome home loved ones. In some cultures, yellow is the symbol for courage and peace. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a colour that Lynne Robinson wears with pride. And on May 25 she will feel particularly proud to pull on her yellow survivorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s T-shirt for the Relay for Life at McLeod Athletic Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Relay for Life is a chance to give back and rejoice,â&#x20AC;? Robinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that you are alive and wearing a yellow shirt is something to celebrate. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity to put it all aside and celebrate your victory.â&#x20AC;? Robinson had been a member of the Relay team before she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2008, and this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will be her third since then. Taking part in 2010 was a blur, a bumpy ride of emotions and feelings that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing your best to get through the day and not dwell on challenges,â&#x20AC;? Robinson recalled. Clarity returned last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so glad to be part of the Township team,â&#x20AC;? she said. One of the most poignant moments of every Relay is the lap of honour survivors take at the beginning, when a sea of men and women and a few children, all clad in yellow shirts, walk the first lap of the Relay, accompanied by the applause and cheers of loved ones, friends and strangers. Robinson is encouraging others who have been

Portrait Homes named top builder in Canada

Local builder wins AVID Award Portrait Homes has long had a reputation for building amazing homes and delivering great value. They were recently the recipients of multiple Georgie Awards from the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of British Columbia, including two Customer Choice awards. Now they are being honoured again with the Avid Diamond Award for the Best Customer Experience in Canada. “This is truly an outstanding achievement and honour for Portrait Homes to be given this award,” says Vice-President of Sales and Marketing Troy Steine. “It’s been made possible by the unwavering dedication and

commitment from each and every one of the Portrait Homes team.” The annual Avid Awards honour the best builders across Canada for providing great customer service, and base their awards on feedback from homeowners. This year, over 97 per cent of Portrait home buyers said they would recommend the company. Steine is extremely proud of this statistic. “Providing an outstanding customer experience is the strength that allows Portrait Homes to flourish in a competitive market and positions us as the builder of choice in today’s real estate market,” he says.

The bathrooms are luxurious, with thick granite countertops, polished chrome or satin nickel bath fixtures and hardware and mosaic ceramic tile surounds on the bath and shower. The high-quality laminate flooring featured throughout the main floor is durable and ready to take the pounding of any number of feet, while the thick carpeting on the upper floor is a cozy detail that you’ll love to sink your feet into in the morning. Another

thoughtful detail is the built-in wire closet shelving, so you’ll easily be able to unpack as soon as you get your keys. A wide range of demographics have been interested in South Arm Gardens, Lawson says. Buyers will be able to take possession of their new homes in late April or early May. Homes at South Arm Gardens start at $499,000. For more information check out www.southarmgardens.com or call 604-998-4526.

‘A location that can’t be beat’

Richmond welcoming South Arm Gardens by Kerry Vital

The South Arm neighbourhood of Richmond is full of parks, shops and recreation, so it should be no surprise that the area is proud to welcome its newest development, South Arm Gardens. Built by the Kraftsmen Group of Companies and with 15 townhomes in the development, South Arm Gardens has the feel of an exclusive little community. “These are wonderful homes at a terrific value and in a location that can’t be beat,” says Sean Lawson, president of Steveston Real Estate. “South Arm Gardens offers an affordable way to get into the market in one of Richmond’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.” Seven different floorplans and three different designer-selected colour schemes give you plenty of options for finding the home that fits you best, and with the private fenced yards that are included with every home and beautiful landscaping, your outdoor space will make an amazing first impression. Inside, the nine-foot ceilings on the main level and oversized windows contribute to the overriding sense of space, no matter what room you’re in. Those oversized windows allow plenty of natural light to shine in, so your home will never feel dark even in the worst weather. Many of the homes are built with an open-plan layout that is perfect for entertaining, and the convenient kitchen islands in most

plans provide extra storage and counter space. Crown moulding throughout is one of the little details that make these homes so amazing, along with large 5 1/4-inch baseboards on the main floor and 4 1/4-inch baseboards on the upper floors. The kitchens showcase chefinspired touches, such as stainlesssteel appliances and custom-crafted cabinets complemented by natural granite countertops. Adjustable overhead halogen track lighting and ceiling pot lights ensure you have the perfect amount of light while prepping and cooking, and a hand-set ceramic tile backsplash lends a touch of sophisticated elegance to the room.

“

These are wonderful homes at a terriﬁc value,” says Sean Lawson, president of Steveston Real Estate.

South Arm Gardens features chef-inspired kitchens, above, including a stylish ceramic-tile backsplash and stainless-steel appliances. Laminate ﬂooring is featured throughout the living areas, top, while the spacious master bedrooms, left, feature luxurious carpeting.

Agencies launch rival apps JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Metro Vancouver and the Recycling Council of B.C. have launched dueling recycling apps that offer mobile search for depot locations, but also raise questions about why two agencies devoted to reducing waste didn’t co-ordinate their efforts. Metro launched its WeRecycle iPhone app last week — a few weeks after the Recycling Council unveiled its own B.C. Recyclepedia app, which also covers the rest of B.C. RCBC CEO Brock Macdonald said Metro gave his non-profit agency no heads up it was working on an app, but adds it probably shouldn’t have come as a surprise. “It seems like we do a web-based service and then they do one, we do a Zero Waste Conference, they do one. We do a phone app, they do one,” Macdonald said. “Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, so I guess we’re very flattered by that.” But he agreed taxpayers might ask whether the duplication was necessary. Macdonald said he questions Metro’s focus in the area because a coming change to put industry steward groups in charge of an expanded blue box recycling system may leave cities with much less of a role than in the past. Both agencies say their apps — which are free — cost little to no money to develop. RCBC’s was volunteer-developed in partnership with the Society for Promoting Environmental Conservation (SPEC). Metro’s was developed in-house at no unusual cost by staff who previously launched apps for regional parks

and sources of local tap water. “It’s a little coincidental they came out at the same time,” Metro board chair Greg Moore said. Both apps draw from web databases run by Metro and RCBC, allowing smart phone users to search for depots that accept various recyclables and then display them on a map or by proximity to the user. Users can quickly find out the location of the nearest depot that will accept anything from dead batteries and unused paint to old furniture or electronics. But Moore said Metro’s app runs differently from RCBC’s. The Metro WeRecycle app displays all locations that accept material equally, sorted by location. But he said RCBC’s B.C. Recyclepedia app gives preference in its display results to RCBC’s industry steward-run Return-It depots ahead of other unaffiliated outlets that might be closer. Businesses can be listed in Metro’s app for free, Moore said, but may have to pay on RCBC’s. Moore said the WeRecycle app is also integrating with local cities to display their rules on what can go in blue boxes at curbside. Some of those cities also have their own apps giving garbage pickup and recycling information. While the RCBC app is available for both Apple and Android devices, Metro’s is limited to iPhones running iOS 5. Metro plans to make it available for Android soon. Moore said Metro has had discussions with RCBC on how to integrate their efforts to help residents reduce waste and recycle more. “We’ll continue to try to do that,” he said.

Dead Frog Brewery will have the opportunity of a lifetime next week on CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Big Decision. From the producer of Dragonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Den, The Big Decision is a new reality show featuring companies looking for an influx of cash from Canadian business leaders. Dead Frog Brewery endured in-depth scrutiny for the chance to have Boston Pizza entrepreneurial icon Jim Treliving invest in the company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My team and I have been living, eating, and breathing Dead Frog for a very long time,â&#x20AC;? says Dead Frog founder and CEO Derrick Smith.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got an innovative brand and brews that are premium quality but we struggle to find the resources to compete with the big boys.â&#x20AC;? Craft beer has been steadily increasing in popularity in Canada but many craft breweries strive to generate the adequate awareness and funds necessary to grow substantially. If Treliving decides to invest in Dead Frog it could not only mean big things for the brewery but also for craft beer as a whole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jim Trelivingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience and resources could be the key to generating national exposure for Dead Frog and craft beer,â&#x20AC;? says Smith.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I truly believe that exposure will fuel the growth of craft beer and take it to new heights. There is a lot of room for great beer in the market and people deserve to have the opportunity to make an educated choice.â&#x20AC;? Dead Frog Brewery is an award-winning craft brewery located in Aldergroveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gloucester Industrial Estates and is currently available in Canada from B.C. to Ontario. Jim Treliving can be seen on CBC on Dragonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Den and The Big Decision. The Big Decision airs Mondays on CBC at 9 p.m. The episode featuring Dead Frog Brewery will air March 26.

A little bit of help for home buyers With so many diverse factors to take into consideration when buying a new home, it is no surprise first-time home buyers need a little help de-mystifying the process. What home type is best matched to wants, needs and financial resources? What location is preferable? What are the mortgage options? How does the provincial property transfer tax exemption for first-time home buyers work? What are the rules associated with B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newly announced $10,000 first-time new home buyers bonus? How much can be withdrawn tax-free from RRSPs? How about legal considerations, closing costs and home warranties? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

involved with condo pre-sales? Those and other key questions will be covered by a panel of experts at the 18th annual seminar for first-time homebuyers, presented by the Greater Vancouver Home Buildersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association (GVHBA) on Tuesday, April 3 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Bell Performing Arts Centre (6250 144 St.) in Surrey. The seminar is free. Speakers are Robyn Adamache, senior market analyst, Canada Mortgage & Housing Corp.; Wendy Acheson, vice president and registrar, Homeowner Protection Office, branch of BC Housing; Narrinder DhanoyaBhangu, vice president, Pacific region, Genworth Financial Canada; Inde

Sumal, vice-president of residential mortgages, BC region, RBC Royal Bank; Eugen Klein, president, Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver;Tom Reeves, assistant vice-president, National Home Warranty; and Aaron Lightman, associate, Farris & Company LLP. Seminar moderator is Shayne Ramsay, chief executive officer of BC Housing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our experts will help first-time buyers consider all available options and important issues before they take that critical first step onto the property ladder,â&#x20AC;? said GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Real estate continues to be a hot topic in this region, so seminar attendance is expected

to be as many or greater than the 750 young people who attended last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. Doors open at 6 p.m., allowing attendees ample time to view builder displays and other home-related products and services,â&#x20AC;? he said. Pre-registration is required. Register online at www.gvhba. org or call 778-5654288 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. Registrations will also be accepted via voicemail during evenings and weekends.

Dorothy Ludwig (above) has qualified for the Summer Olympic Games in London. The 33-yearold from Langley finished tops among three competitors on Sunday in air pistol shooting, as the trio were all vying for Canada’s lone berth in the event to the Games. Among the competitors Ludwig beat was her sister (below, left) who came in second. “We all started at the same time, we were all trained under my father, and we all grew up in the sport together,” said Ludwig, who grew up in Alberta. She admitted all three did not perform as well as they would have liked on Sunday, likely suffering from the pressure and stress of the magnitude of the moment.” “It was a special time but a hard time to compete for such a prestigious spot against one another.” Ludwig has applied to the Shooting Federation of Canada to bring her sister along as a coach, and is just waiting on approval. “That would definitely be a silver lining,” Ludwig said. “That would make the Olympics that much more special, to be able

to share it not just with my sister, but with my good friend.” Ludwig was scheduled to return from Calgary to Langley yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon and continue preparing for the Games. She trains out of the Langley Rod and Gun Club. Her first big event will be in London, from April 15 to 21, for a World Cup event. As for the Olympics, her mother, Fran, and Cam will definitely attend, as will Kiejko. Ludwig’s older siblings, John Hare and Lorna Idland may

also attend, and she is debating whether or not to bring her soonto-be one-year-old son Erden, or leave him behind with her in-laws.

Aldergrove Kodiaks’ Stephen Ryan (#19) fires the puck out of his zone as teammate Jordan Pughe (#14) impedes Abbotsford Pilots’Justin Dorey during game four of the best-of-seven PIJHL playoff series. The Kodiaks had a 2-0 series lead but the Pilots won the next four games to take the series and advance to the PIJHL championship series.

Injuries a factor in defeat Kodiaks fall in six games to Pilots GARY AHUJA Times Sports

It is game over for the Aldergrove Kodiaks. The junior B hockey club, which was facing elimination on Monday night, were 20 minutes away from forcing a seventh and deciding game, but the Abbotsford Pilots scored three times in a 1:51 span to win 5-4. The Pilots eliminated the Kodiaks four games to two and will now represent the Harold Brittain Conference in the Pacific International Junior Hockey League championship series. They face the Delta Ice Hawks, who shocked the Richmond Sockeyes in six games. The Sockeyes had lost just seven games of their 44 games during the regular season. For any team to advance in the playoffs, attrition is key. And by the end of the Kodi-

aks series, injuries and suspensions had taken their toll on the Aldergrove roster. “We lost a lot of bodies,” said Kodiaks general manager Rick Harkins, pointing out the team had five concussions, a separated shoulder and two suspensions to deal with. In game six, Aldergrove had three call-ups in the roster, and even with that, they only had nine forwards, instead of the usual dozen. “We had a very depleted bench, but they gave it their all,” he said. A big difference in the series was the Pilots relentless attack as they outshot the Kodiaks by an average of 14 shots per game, 289-204. In fact, the Pilots lowest shot total in a game was 40, while the Kodiaks only hit that mark twice in the six games. Aldergrove had won the first two games of the series, 2-1 and 6-4 last week at the Aldergrove Arena. But after the series shifted to Abbotsford’s MSA Arena, the Pilots evened things up with a 5-1 win in

game three and 5-4 in game four. Back at the Aldergrove Arena on Sunday for game five, the Pilots became the first team in the series to win on the road, edging the Kodiaks 5-4 and setting up the elimination game on Monday. Aldergrove looked to be in good shape, up 4-2 after 40 minutes before their short bench caught up to them in the third period. “We just couldn’t keep up with them afterwards,” Harkins said. Justin Dorey scored twice and Bradley Parker had the other third period goal for the Pilots. The three-goal outburst erased a 4-2 Kodiaks lead. After Travis Grewal had opened the scoring for Abbotsford, Jordan Pughe and Mitchell Guiel gave the Kodiaks a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes. Pughe made it 3-1 and after Jarrett Martin made it 3-2, Brandon Potomak restored the two-goal advantage for Aldergrove.

Buffaloes Wallace wins in Arizona Not even three weather delays could stop Jessica Wallace. The Langley golfer, a senior for the University of Colorado women’s golf team, helped the Buffaloes put on their most dominating performance in school history. “I knew the weather was going to be bad before we got out there,” she said. “We were warming up in freezing cold rain (and) the course was starting to flood

Rayner Htoo sends the ball across the net during the second annual Htoo Htoo Friendly Sepak Takraw Tournament of Champions on Saturday at Trinity Western University.

A tournament honouring the memory of a young girl who passed away last year drew 35 players to Trinity Western University on Saturday. The second annual Htoo Htoo Friendly Sepak Takraw Tournament of Champions honours the memory of Htoo K’Bru Paw, who died after an eight-month battle with complications surrounding a bone marrow transplant. Sepak Takraw, also known as caneball, combines soccer and volleyball and is popular among the local Karen communities of Surrey and Langley. The event was hosted with help from the Trinity Western Spartans men’s and women’s sports teams, and the PuCKS (Promoting Community through Kids in Sport) program. As part of this year’s event, the games featured play-by-play announcers, as well as being filmed and broadcast.

Silver medal for Spartans’ Johnston Blair Johnston picked up a silver medal at the B.C. Athletics provincial 5-km road running championships. The Trinity Western Spartans runner was competing in the race in Vancouver on Saturday. The championships were run in conjunction with the BMO St. Patrick’s Day race. Johnston crossed the finish line in 15:26.69, which was good for second in provincials and fifth overall amongst all runners, including those competing in just the St. Patrick’s Day race. The second-place finish comes on the heels of Johnston’s bronze medal at the Canada West championships three weeks ago in the 1,500m event. ••••• For the second time in as many games, the Trinity Western women’s soccer team played to a 0-0 draw as neither the Spartans nor the visiting UBC Thunderbirds could find the back of the net Friday evening at Rogers Park. After playing their way to a 0-0 tie with Fraser Valley on March 13, the Spartans dressed a largely substitute squad against a rather veteran bunch from UBC and managed to keep up with a tough Thunderbirds side and

snag and deserved draw. Trinity Western is now 0-0-2 against university competition this spring. In what was a classically spring contest, neither team looked entirely in form and in the end a scoreless match was a fair result for a game that largely was void of scoring opportunities. “It was a scrappy. We struggled early on and I thought UBC had a bit more of the energy and a bit more of the composure,” said Spartans coach Graham Roxburgh.“But we knew that would happen. We had a lot of young players playing and it’s different when they have fifth years on the park who are a little bit more accomplished and have been at this level before. I’m quite pleased how some of our young kids actually did quite well against a very mature team.” ••••• Trinity Western’s Braden Gant scored two penalty kicks and Simon Fraser’s Carlo Brasso scored two regular goals as the Spartans and Clan tied 3-3 in spring action last Thursday evening at Willoughby Park Field. Nathaniel Turner had the other Spartans goal. “We have a young raw

inexperienced team that is looking to find themselves,” said Spartans coach Pat Rohla. “We were OK in a couple of aspects, but overall we were too frenetic and too inexperienced. Really disjointed in many areas.” “Turner’s goal was a nice goal, but there wasn’t enough possession from our service to strikers. Neither team earned more than one goal on the night and in terms of run of play it wasn’t great.” Both Spartans teams are in Victoria this weekend for the annual Keg Spring Cup. ••••• Registration is open for a community tennis league set for next month. The league offers both singles and doubles tennis leagues and begins April 14. Players of all skill levels will be accepted and matched up against those of the corresponding level. Once grouped into their respective leagues, players receive their schedule and make their own arrangements to set up their matches. Deadline to register is March 31. To register, visit www. bctennisleagues.50megs.com or shalley@iprimus.ca or phone 604-534-1786.

GranFondo route unveiled Race comes to Fraser Valley on July 22 The official route has been released for this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prospera Valley GranFondo event. On July 22, cyclists will embark on a cycling journey through some pristine riding territory in the Fraser Valley. The two races â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a 160km GranFondo and an 80-km MedioFondo route â&#x20AC;&#x201D; begin and end at the

Fort Langley Historic Site. In between, the cyclists will ride to Abbotsford. Organized by not-forprofit association Canadian Velo Event Management Society and Prospera Credit Union, half of the proceeds will be donated to Special Olympics B.C. to provide sports programs for those with disabilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal, first and foremost, is to raise funds for Special Olympics. Secondly, our goals of course are to have a world class event take place here in Langley and to create

a cycling legacy whereby hosting events like this we bring attention to the fact that this is incredible cycling territory,â&#x20AC;? said George Lacny, community liaison and media relations manager for Canadian Velo Event Management Society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[We want] to give a better interface between cyclists and riders in the area. The more people see the benefits of cycling, the more that they will welcome cyclists on the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a win-win for everyone.â&#x20AC;?

Spartansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Nuttall golden at nationals The Trinity Western Spartans did well both on the track and in the field. Competing at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championships, the Spartansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Emma Nuttall captured the gold medal in the high jump while Fiona Benson won bronze in the 1500m event. The championships wrapped up on March 10 at the Max Bell Fieldhouse on the University of Manitoba campus. Nuttall, a first-year student, cleared a season-best and Spartans record 1.82m to win gold. The medal is also a step up from two weeks prior when she won silver at the Emma Canada West championships. Nuttall Nuttall was also given an honourable mention for the female athlete of the meet award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a little shaky coming in after getting silver at Canada West, so to get gold here, I â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;m just so pleased. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time I felt spring in my jump this year and everything fell into place.â&#x20AC;? Benson, who came into the championships ranked fourth in her event, and moved up one spot to third thanks to a personal and Spartans best time of 4:29.35. She missed silver by a mere 0.11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it was a pretty solid race,â&#x20AC;? Benson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still getting used to the whole racing dynamic and running with that many girls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a learning curve but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty happy with how it went.â&#x20AC;? At the Canada West championships, Benson won gold in the event and silver in the 1000m race. The gold and bronze medals capped off an impressive competition for the Spartans at the national championships as on Friday first-year Calum Innes posted a personal best and Spartans record 8.19 in finishing fourth in the 60m hurdles and first-year Hazel Ross improved on a 12th place pre-competition ranking to finish ninth in the 60m hurdles with a time of 8.94 while on Thursday first-year Jake Powrie finished fifth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; although he was tied for fourth but dropped on a tiebreaker â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the pentathlon with a personal best and Spartans record 3,650 points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a highly unusual event in that all of our athletes exceeded expectations,â&#x20AC;? said Spartans coach Laurier Primeau.â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel blessed to be working with these kids because I feel they make me look a lot better than I am. It was a really good meet for us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the ways we judge our performances is, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Can you elicit the best performance of the season at the most important competition of the season?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and all five of our athletes did that.â&#x20AC;?

The Township of Langley is full of wildlife habitat, and residents share the area with animals including bears, cougars, and coyotes. While residents throughout Langley do not need to be continually on alert, there are a number of actions that can be taken to deter wild animals if they are spotted in your area. Parents are encouraged to educate their children on what to do if they encounter any of these animals, especially if they play by themselves in areas that wildlife frequent or have been seen in the past. To help people coexist with creatures that are simply trying to survive but can be dangerous if provoked, the following information is offered:

Bears: are coming out of three or four months of hibernation this time of year. They are extremely hungry, have lost weight, and are looking for a lot of food. They also have cubs, which the mothers will teach how to hunt and look for food. Baby bears learn from their mothers’ behavior and they are smart animals: don’t let them learn that food can easily be obtained from humans. If you encounter a bear, do not run. Act big and loud, and back away slowly to a safe place.

Cougars: can have kittens throughout the year, and family groups

Act big by waving sticks and branches, and back away slowly while still facing the cougar. If it attacks, ﬁght back.

Coyotes: have the largest population of potentially dangerous wildlife in Langley and can be seen year round, even in residential areas. Pups are born in the spring and are trained to hunt and kill. Coyotes are bold and easily lose their natural fear of people. Never feed a coyote. If you encounter a coyote, scare it off by making loud noise or throwing something at it to make it afraid. Never ignore a coyote. If it continues to approach, do not run. Maintain eye contact, pick up small pets or children, and slowly move to an area of increased activity.

Reduce the smell of food by keeping barbecues clean. Keep pet food inside. WARNING Garbage is the biggest attraction Langley has a large for bears so keep it secure and deer population inaccessible to wildlife. Do not leave garbage cans out overnight: USE CAUTION keep them in the house, a locked ON ROADS garage, or secured outbuilding that cannot be broken into by large, smart bears. Put them out only on the morning of collection. If you are worried about odour, keep garbage in the freezer until collection day. Do not use bird feeders, as they attract bears and the birds do need seeds when other natural food sources are available. Be vigilant with small animals, especially cats, in areas where coyotes are around.

In Agricultural Areas: Protect your investment by keeping fences secure and free of damage that predators can use for access. Coyotes burrow, so ensure surrounding netting goes deep into the ground. Use electric fencing to deter bears from blueberries and beehives, and pick berries and fruit as they ripen. Be vigilant with livestock and keep them secure. Farm animals are usually killed at night, so bring them inside in the evening. It is an offence to attract wildlife into a residential neighbourhood. Those who do not take steps to deter bears and other wild creatures can face a ﬁne of up to $575. To report poachers or polluters or if you have a problem with wildlife call: Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) 1.877.952.7277
