Arsonist at work in Langley MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

There is an arsonist or arsonists at work in Brookswood and vandalism is also on the rise. The latest target was a school portable that was torched on Saturday night on the grounds of Noel Booth Elementary in the 20200 block of 35 Avenue. Langley RCMP’s Serious Crime team has taken over the investigation as this is the fourth suspicious fire in the Brookswood area in the past couple weeks. The previous three arsons took place at the nearby Brookswood Baptist Church on Feb. 12, 18 and 28. The suspects torched a storage trailer the Baptist Church had parked in the parking lot. The arsonist came back and did some more damage the next time. On Feb. 28, anti-religion graffiti was spray painted along half of the building and the suspect(s) got inside and caused a small fire there too, said police. While this is going on, Brookswood residents have been noticing that graffiti and vandalism has been on the rise lately, with graffiti found on bus stops and other places around town. Police are asking residents in the area to be extra vigilant and pay attention to suspicious people and vehicles in the area. Don’t hesitate to call 911 if any concerns arise, said Cpl. Holly Marks. Arsonists often use recycling and discarded materials left in close proximity as a starting agent or tinder for fires. In order to alleviate the chances of someone using your discarded material to cause unnecessary and potentially extensive damage, there are some simple tasks you can perform, said Marks. Keep your recycling/garbage inside your garage until the morning it is to be collected. If you have combustible or flammable material in your garage that you no longer need, consider disposing of these items to the appropriate recycling agency. Residents in the area are asked to survey their garage space and outbuildings and take notice if any spray paint or combustible material is missing. If this is the case, please call Langley RCMP.

Langley Secondary School teachers rally along 56 Avenue on Monday morning, the first day of a planned three-day strike, which includes a trip to Victoria to join in a larger demonstration at the legislature today (Tuesday).

Teachers rally in Victoria 150 Langley teachers planning to attend Tuesday demonstration at the legislature

MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

It was a cold and wet start for teachers who began striking outside Langley schools first thing Monday morning. Langley’s 1,500 teachers walked off the job and will continue demonstrating until Wednesday, after talks failed between B.C.Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government. “Our army of elves are busily putting clear plastic over the signs and we’ve made a visit to the teachers with buckets of food,” said Langley Teachers’ Association president Gail Chaddock-Costello on Mon-

day morning. Teachers are not picketing but demonstrating. The LTA has rented three buses, able to seat 150 teachers, to attend the large rally planned at the legislature in Victoria on Tuesday. The BCTF and the B.C. Federation of Labour are holding the rally, which is expected to draw thousands of teachers from around B.C. “It’s going to be a long day for our teachers, but it’s worth it,” said ChaddockCostello. Closer to home, the LTA will have teachers lining 200 Street with signs Wednesday morning before a large rally “in defense of public education” is planned outside the Langley Events Centre. Teachers will not be demonstrating outside schools on Wednesday. Speakers at the rally include Irene Lanzinger, who is current vice-president of the B.C. Federation of Labour and is former a BCTF president, and CUPE’s president Barry O’Neill. The LTA will be laying pink

wreaths at MLA Rich Coleman’s office, located at the LEC. The pink is to symbolize the bullying tactics the government is taking by trying to introduce Bill 22, said Chaddock-Costello. The BC Liberal government introduced Bill 22, which would impose a cooling off period that would ban teachers from striking, and invoke hefty fines on individual teachers and the union. House leader Coleman, MLA for Aldergrove-Fort Langley, said there is no need to rush the bill through. Bill 22 introduces a mediator who is allowed to look at everything but salaries. The government insists that the new contract be a “net zero” one, with no added costs. Schools are essentially closed during the teachers’ strike and thousands of parents in Langley struggled to find care for their children. The Township, City and Langley Museum are offering day camps.

School issues top of mind Saturday town hall meeting brings together four levels of government MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

It was “democracy at work” at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday afternoon, said Mayor Jack Froese, as members of the public gathered with representatives from four levels of government for a town hall meeting. The panelists — Township Mayor Jack Froese, Langley MLA Mary Polak, MP Mark Warawa and Langley Board of Education chairperson Wendy Johnson— spent two hours answering questions from the audience and from Twitter users on issues currently impacting the community. It was an opportunity for the public to hear municipal, provincial, federal and educational perspectives on each matter. One of the most popular topics was the overcrowding of schools on the Willoughby slope. When asked how council is going to “work with the school district to Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times ensure overcrowding of schools is dealt with in advance of the actual Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese answers a question from the audience at overcrowding,” Mayor Froese spoke Saturday’s town hall meeting, while MLA Mary Polak, MP Mark Warawa and Langley of the challenge between build- Board of Education Chair Wendy Johnson await their turns. ing infrastructure before areas are developed versus populating an development when we do have areas that district,” she said. area and then developing infrastructure According to the Ministry of Education, are designated.

Be on the lookout for a plastic grizzly skull, some fake animal poop and several replica First Nation tools, asks Karen Gabriel, also known around Langley as the Bannock Lady. Gabriel had four suitcases full of educational tools stolen from the trunk of her car on or near Valentine’s Day. The theft either took place near the casino or at the apartments on 207 Street in Langley City. “What was taken is of no use to anyone except me, but a great educational loss to the hundreds of students I teach each school year,” said Gabriel. Gabriel, also known as the Plant Lady and the Wolf Lady, has been a teacher with the district’s Aboriginal program for 20 years. “I have been teaching seven programs for 20 years. This means I have taught some of your children or grandchildren,” points out Gabriel. What makes this theft particularly hard to take is the replica First Nation tools, made of stone, bone, shells and antlers, were made by Gabriel’s late husband. “The [tools] can’t be replaced and of course have a very sentimental value,” she said. The first suitcase was green and red and contained tools.The second suitcase was filled with artificial rubber paws of different animals, two skull replicas made of plastic. “The grizzly skull is huge and a big hit with kids,” she said. This suitcase also contained artificial scat, also known as animal droppings. The third suitcase is purple and contained craft materials. The fourth contained stamps and stamp pads so children could make nature pictures to take home to their parents. Gabriel is asking for the return of any of these items, no question asked. “I am willing to pay a reward.” The items can be dropped off at any Langley school. If the items aren’t returned, she is asking for anyone looking to donate Native tools or animal skulls to her program so she can continue teaching children about First Nation culture and history.

New committee focusing on better communication A joint committee of Langley Township council and Langley Board of Education will soon begin work, in order to ensure that communication between the two bodies is better. Mayor Jack Froese and new board Chair Wendy Johnson have made the committee a priority since their election to their positions last fall. The Township was expected to ratify its choices for the committee at Monday night’s council meeting.

“The school district needs to be involved at the very early stages (of development),” Froese said. “We need to have a good connection between council, the school board and staff from both bodies.” “We proposed the structure to the Township,” said Johnson. It will include two trustees, two councillors and senior staff from both governments. Froese said the new committee, which will serve as a liai-

He expects that it will involve staff from both the Township planning and parks and recreation departments. “Both Jack and I agree wholeheartedly that things needed to change. We couldn’t continue the way it was,” said Johnson. School planning issues were top of mind for many participants at Saturday’s town hall meeting at the Langley Events Centre, with concerns from Wil-

loughby parents raised over and over again. Johnson said the City will probably get involved as well. Although it is not facing the same issues with overcrowding and developing neighbourhoods, there are future issues like aging schools, she said. Johnson said they hadn’t discussed whether the meeting’s discussions should be made public, but she thought it was a good idea.

A brawl broke out with pepper spray and broken beer bottles, pitting one party bus full of drunken youths against another party bus in Brookswood late Saturday night. Around 11:30 p.m., at least eight police cars and three ambulances were called to attend the fight that took place in the parking lot of Brookswood Square, just off 200 Street at 41 Avenue. “There were numerous injuries with some hit with beer bottles, others were

their way home by taxi or were picked up by parents. It isn’t known why the fight broke out. Police attempted to get an understanding of what took place, but most teens weren’t talking, others were blaming each other and no one would say who owned the pepper spray which was seized by police, said Marks. In 2010, two teenaged girls fell out of a moving party bus when the side door opened at the intersection of Highway 10 and Fraser Highway. One was uninjured, the other was knocked out cold.

Engagement broadened

Libs’ future at stake

aturday’s town hall meeting at Langley Events Centre marked the first time that citizens were able to engage with four levels of government in Langley at the same time, and do so in two vastly different but complementary ways. Credit for this goes to Township Mayor Jack Froese, who made intergovernment dialogue a key part of his campaign platform, and followed up soon after taking office in December. The Township took the initiative to stage this meeting. It also belongs to MP Mark Warawa, who began holding his own town hall meetings with the assistance of The Times, and expanded them to include other levels of government. It goes to MLA Mary Polak, one of the first provincial politicians to actively make Twitter engagement a part of her routine. And credit also goes to Langley Board of Education chair Wendy Johnson, who for the first time represented the board at the town hall meetings, and as it turned out, received many of the questions. The meeting attracted about 150 people, including many senior staff from the Township and several members of both Township council and the board of education. However, it was opened up to anyone who uses Twitter as well, and many questions were fired at the four politicians via Twitter. This meant that politicians were accountable to and under scrutiny by not only those who were present, but also by those interested enough to follow the meeting on Twitter. Indeed, some people were present at the meeting and also using Twitter as it took place. This type of two-pronged direct engagement is the wave of the future. While it is sometimes hard for citizens to take a couple of hours out of their busy schedules to attend meetings, it’s easy to keep abreast, using Twitter and still doing the day’s activities. Many took advantage of this opportunity. Robust participation by citizens, using both methods of communication, shows they do want to be engaged with their elected representatives, and they do want to be heard. They are very concerned about schools in Willoughby and the lack of co-ordinated action on that front. That message came through loud and clear and now it will be up to the province, the Township and the board to work much harder on this issue. Many other issues were also brought up, and politicians can’t plead ignorance about any of them now.

ext year’s provincial election could be won or lost by how the B.C. Liberal party plays its cards this week in the ongoing dispute with the province’s teachers. The teachers have been on a relatively low-key strike since September. There were concerns then about how job action would affect kids in the classroom. Fortunately, judging by the dearth of complaints, it seems most teachers have kept the drawn-out labour negotiations from inconveniencing parents or politicizing students. But the decision to escalate the strike is a magnitude beyond holding back grades on report cards or piling paperwork on administrators. If teachers walk off the job even for one day, you can bet the public will pay a lot more attention to this issue. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. Even if it does, the province will gain little by sticking to its hard-nosed strategy. Teachers spend a lot of time with our kids and play a vital role in the health of our local communities. Portraying these frontline workers as greedy or easily replaceable will do little to bolster the Liberals’ flagging support. Indeed, legislating teachers back to work instead of working harder to negotiate a deal will effectively arm the NDP with more ammo ahead of the May 14, 2013 vote. This government, under Gordon Campbell, paid a heavy political price for showing arrogance toward a labour movement that is still a powerful force in this province. Any currency the Liberals had from the public’s disdain of previous NDP regimes has long been used up. Unless Premier Christy Clark is in a hurry to go back to her radio job, she needs to stay away from the kind of comment she recently made on her former employer’s station. Clark said she didn’t think the province could make a deal with the teachers. That’s simply not true. The time has come to appoint a mediator and agree to abide with whatever decisions he or she makes. —Victoria News The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Picking up the pieces in school district Editor: The more I read about the issues with schools on the Willoughby slope, the more and more thankful I become that Superintendent Cheryle Beaumont is no longer in charge, and that only two of the old guard trustees remain. It was well worth the money it took to have Beaumont leave the district. During Beaumont’s reign in Langley, six schools were closed, with those communities ripped apart. Murrayville Elementary was only 25 students short of full capacity. Students in that community are now busing or being driven to the middle school. Bradshaw sits like a boarded-up, derelict eyesore in the middle of its community. Its

playground was long ago removed. The community that was H.D. Stafford Secondary (Langley City’s only high school) was closed, and a controversial middle school was opened on the site. The citizens of Langley were never given a dollar figure for the reconfiguration. Trustees in office at the time did not insist on the information before voting. Trustee Alison McVeigh did offer this when asked. “Middle schools are cheaper to run than high schools, but more expensive than elementary schools.” No wonder the $13.5 million debt was accrued on their watch. The debt was exposed when Trustees Robert McFarlane and Wendy Johnson were elected to

the board in 2008, and insisted on an audit. Johnson campaigned with a moratorium on middle schools in Langley until actual research into their educational merit was performed, and as she topped Cheryle Beaumont the polls that year it was clear voters agreed. Unfortunately, the superintendent and board majority were determined to push through their agenda.

I encourage the parents of the Langley School District to refresh their memories of the past six years by reading the archived newspaper articles and letters kept on the Langley Leap website. I think they will find it very informative. It can be accessed at http://langley-leap.ca/ And last, please don’t blame the five relatively new trustees for the current mess. They are trying to pick up the pieces of a shattered and divided school district. They are trying to make the best of the situation created by the previous board majority. Fiona Miller, Langley

Province to blame for making class conditions worse Editor: It’s the pre-Spring Break, Spring Break. What about it? It is completely stupid. Why is it stupid? Because it is impacting students like myself. It is impacting us more than the teachers’ job action, which has been ongoing since September. Sure the job action affected us, but not by much. We still got scores and got our marks. But this strike is really going to affect the students of B.C. — especially grads like myself. Now, what is the reason for this preSpring Break Spring Break? The reason is that the government doesn’t want what is best for the kids of B.C. Today’s youth who will be tomorrow’s adults. I am completely behind the teachers on this issue of their contracts and Bill 22. The government took away so many things back in 2002. Now they want to take away more and say that it is better than it was before. Well, I beg to differ. Class sizes are way too big and the composition isn’t what it should be. I remember a couple years ago having a class of 48.

This was in a class meant for 30, or maybe 35 maximum. A teacher gave up one of her study blocks to teach 12 of us so that we could actually learn properly. I have teachers who do so much for the school and for the students. And to see that the government is taking more away from them, it just doesn’t make sense. B.C. nurses, some of the highest-paid nurses in the country, got a raise last year. And the same government can’t afford to give B.C. teachers better, more manageable class sizes and composition. There is something seriously wrong with that. The teachers would like more pay, but most of the teachers I know would rather have more manageable class sizes than a wage increase. Why? Because they care about the students, and put the students first before themselves. Yes, people say that teachers have quite the comfy job and they don’t work that hard and they get so much time off. They do, but they work outside school hours at

home. I know a few of my teachers who have had to work until 2 a.m., because of marking. I don’t know many parents who have jobs where they work for eight hours a day at work, and then eight hours more at home. I believe that B.C. teachers are underpaid. What they teach us, the students, is priceless. This is why it kills me to see what is happening to them; after all they do for us. Why can’t the government just look at what it did 10 years ago, and compare it to now. Why can’t they see that Bill 22 makes things worse? The teachers are not the bad guys here. They are the good people who are fighting a super-villain, which happens to be the B.C. government. I believe what they want is the best for us, the students. Why can’t this government see that? The government is just too concerned about winning the next election and saving money. But it is doing so at the expense of the future. Kids now don’t get the attention

they need in class, and they are suffering. I have watched my friends fail and/or drop out of classes because the classes were just too big and they weren’t getting the attention they needed. The teachers are trying their best but unfortunately, it isn’t enough. That is why I am against Bill 22. Teachers need better conditions, better class sizes and better class composition. Why should the students have to suffer because of the governments’ negligence? What it did years ago was declared illegal, and the government is just making it worse. I ask people to show support for the teachers. They do a lot and do a fine job at it. They are there for our future and are fighting for it. They need help. We need to create more awareness about this. It is a huge issue. For any teacher who may read this, thank you for what you do. You are truly amazing. I know I speak for many other students. Steven Lofgren, Grade 12, Brookswood Secondary School

Coleman proud of Senator St. Germain’s achievements Editor: On Friday evening, Feb. 24, I had the honour to join almost 3,000 people for the National Aboriginal Achievement Awards. The event honours significant achievements that set examples for First Nations and non-First Nations people alike. At the event, my good friend Senator

Gerry St. Germain was honoured with a lifetime achievement award. This is what the program had to say baout his achievement. “Senator Gerry St. Germain has a long history of public service and advocacy to improve the lives of indigenous peoples. He is the first self-identified Metis to serve

in Canada’s federal cabinet. “He has dedicated much of his life’s work as one of the most recognized and prominent voices to advance economic enterprise. education and self-government for indigenous peoples across Canada. “He is a member of the Metis Nation

of B.C. and native son of Manitoba, being born and raised in the small Metis community of Petit Canada, along the Assiniboine River.” I was very proud to see Gerry honoured in this manner. Rich Coleman, MLA, Fort Langley-Aldergrove

Environmental impact not being considered Editor: This letter is a response to Tony Bolivar’s letter (The Times, Feb. 23). His letter hit the nail right on the head. The Township is growing at a ridiculous rate. It’s not planned growth and it’s out of control. It is my opinion that we have another

gang of six on council who, like their predecessors, cater to the developers for some reason. Sustainable land practices should definitely be observed. Environmental impact should be priority one when planned growth is considered.

I urge any and all Township residents who feel strongly about this to contact Langley Township councillors, and let them know how you feel. Perhaps that will slow down things and save some wildlife. Stuart Smith, Walnut Grove

Teachers’ strike puts some students at risk Editor: On Wednesday, I heard the news that the B.C. Teachers Federation will be going on strike. I would kindly ask teachers to reconsider their idea of going on strike, because it is nerve-wracking for me. My academics are currently at risk, and they are also putting the Grade 12 students at risk. They are about to finish their The

last year, and need the grades to get into a good college or university. The strike is also putting my job at the school cafeteria at risk, which I get paid for. I don’t think it’s fair to the parents to allow their kids to be out of school for three days. It is said that parents are the first educators in a child’s life, but teachers should be aca-

demic role models, and good employees. The teachers are not even worried about their jobs. They are acting as if there is nothing to worry about. The last thing is that the teachers should learn to compromise with the government, because they are not always going to get their way. Gabriella Abrams, Langley

REMEMBER THE 19 PER CENTERS Editor: I heard someone on the radio Monday morning, talking about the teachers’ request for a 15 per cent increase to their contract, saying “Who gets a 15 per cent increase in this economic climate?” My immediate response? Langley Township councillors do, except that they are getting a 19 per cent increase, and 12.6 per cent for the new mayor. If I don’t laugh, I’ll cry. Please Langley, remember this two and one-half years from now, when you get to vote again. Connie Blundy, Fort Langley

Bra-vo! Soroptimists’ seventh annual Bras for a Cause fundraiser goes off without a hitch

It was another uplifting experience at the Soroptimists of the Langleys’ seventh annual Bras for a Cause at Coast Hotel on Saturday night. The crowd at the sold-out fundraising event once again gave generously, bidding on decorated bras and contributing to a live auction that helped raise thousands of dollars for women’s cancers. An exact figure of how much was raised will be revealed on Wednesday. Ann Luu, of CTV Mornings Live, emceed the evening that offered a Mardi Bra theme and featured indoor fireworks. Three local doctors in Mardi Gras attire sang and danced for the evening’s entertainment. One lucky key holder managed to win the $10,000 pendant given away each year. “It was lots of fun and a positive experience all around,” said Bras for A Cause co-chair Kelly Poustie.

An elderly driver of an SUV veered off the road, hit a parked car, jumped the curb, nearly landing her vehicle in the front window of C-Lovers Fish and Chips on Friday morning. “Thank goodness I bought that concrete planter through the City,” said C-Lovers owner Brad McLeod. The force of the vehicle actually pushed the planter off its perch, lodging it under the SUV, securing it from going through the window. The SUV was less than a foot from the large bay window.

There wasn’t anyone sitting at the tables where the SUV would have driven through, but if the crash occurred a half hour later, the area would have been filled with patrons. “I think I may buy a few more of those planters,” said McLeod.

Students show their support Close to 40 students march to City Hall in support of teachers MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

At 2 p.m. on Friday, dozens of students at H.D. Stafford Middle School and Langley Secondary School told their teachers they were marching out of class and down to Langley City Hall. Close to 40 students were standing in the rain on the corner of 204 Street and Douglas Crescent with posters that read “We support our teachers” and “We are the teachers of tomorrow and we have a voice,” to show their support for B.C. teachers in an ongoing labour dispute with the provincial government. Following a similar model to the Facebook group — created for Vancouver students to rally in favour of teachers at the Vancouver Art Gallery — LSS

Grade 10 student Clarissa Gutowski decided to hold a gathering in Langley. “My mother told me that I should do something about this so I said,‘You know what? I am going to make a group.’ So I made a group and people followed,” Gutowski said. The B.C.Teachers Federation was given permission by the Labour Relations Board to have a three-day strike from March 5-7. However, the LRB said that there were to be no picket lines. Members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees have been told by their union to report for work. Gutowski and her peers wanted to show Langley citizens and politicians that they support their teachers. “I support the strike, but of course there’s pros and cons to everything. I’m here to confidently and peacefully say that what the teachers are doing is trying to help.There’s not much that we can do. By standing out here and holding a sign

maybe we can get it across to someone,” she said. For many students, it was tough to walk out of their classrooms. “It was kind of scary,” said Katie Birch, a Grade 12 student at LSS. “Because there were only about three of us from my class that left. At first I was wondering if there was actually going to be anyone here to make a good protest and then we realized as we were walking down the hallway and more people came out of their classrooms that,‘OK, this is actually going to do something.” The provincial government has introduced a bill in the legislature that calls for a six-month cooling off period in the teachers’ labour dispute. However, teachers are able to mount limited strikes until that bill is passed.The bill is expected to debuted this week at the earliest. Schools are open and staffed by principals, vice-principals and support staff during the threeday strike, but the school district is asking parents not to send children to school.

Open houses that give residents and business owners the opportunity to offer suggestions generally draw few crowds. Despite newspaper articles and advertisements, the open houses in the Township draw, on average, about 35 people each year. Civil servants and politicians are turning to social media to spread the word, and as a result, attendance was significantly higher at the Feb. 27 and 28 open houses. A total of 96 residents attended over the two days. The budget is part of the five-year plan which spells out the Township’s list of needs and wants. Council has given preliminary approval to the budget bylaw which raises taxes by 3.2 per cent, including a cost of living increase of 1.70 per cent, 0.5 per cent for police and fire protection, 0.5 per cent for road maintenance, and 0.5 per cent for a reserve fund which the Township can dip into for capital projects such as recreation centres. If the increase is approved, the budget will add an extra $46.32 to the property taxes of a house assessed at $483,000. Residents at Tuesday’s open house had some suggestions for how the Township can spend money now, and how it can make money to offset rising taxes. “Fix the potholes,” one woman suggested. The Township should enter into more public-private partnerships, said a businessman. He pointed to the Langley Events Centre as an opportunity for the Township to make some money by selling the rights to the name. He noted that after 16 years, General Motors Place changed its name to Rogers Arena in 2011, and suggested that the Events Centre adopt a corporate name for a shorter duration. Residents have until today (March 6) to let council have their needs and wants list. Public input response forms are available at the Civic Facility, 20338 65 Ave., and can be downloaded at www.tol.ca/budget.

The Langley Times â&#x20AC;˘ Tuesday, March 6, 2012 â&#x20AC;˘ 13

Messaging begins in Grade 1 P

erhaps the single most ridiculous stunt in the leadup to this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; strike was pulled at an elementary school here in Victoria. A teacher gave her Grade 1 class an assignment for anti-bullying day: take crayons in hand and write to Education Minister George Abbott, demanding he stop bullying their teacher and address class size and composition. This North Koreastyle political indoctrination of six-year-olds was a mistake, according to the local teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; union boss, who vaguely indicated that the unnamed teacher would apologize to parents. Is this self-serving abuse of teacher authority an isolated incident? My experience as a parent and journalist suggests it is not, and recent events support that. By Friday, students across B.C. were skipping class in solidarity with their teachers, led by budding campus radicals suddenly conversant with B.C. Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation talking points about â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bill 22.â&#x20AC;? This left-wing groupthink pervades the education system from public schools through taxpayer-supported colleges and universities. After a couple of generations of this indoctrination, almost everyone â&#x20AC;&#x153;knowsâ&#x20AC;? that government underfunding is at the heart of every school problem, standardized testing is an assault on the fragile self-esteem of students, and reducing class size is the top priority for improving educational outcomes. All of this is glaringly false union propaganda, reinforced in classroom â&#x20AC;&#x153;current affairsâ&#x20AC;? discussions. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe me? Google â&#x20AC;&#x153;Study: Class size doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matterâ&#x20AC;? for the latest on a growing stack of scientific evidence that shows you and your children are being force-fed lies. B.C. Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation president Susan Lambert announced the strike on live TV with a remarkable string of rhetoric about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Orwellianâ&#x20AC;? legislation that will soon put an end to this teacher tantrum. The government needs to negotiate â&#x20AC;&#x153;clearly, rationally and respectfully,â&#x20AC;? said

touch benefit demands. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a math teacher to see what its $2 billion wage and benefit fantasy would actually do to classroom conditions. For his part, Abbott started out pretty keen about students and parents heading down to occupy their local school and replace striking teachers with volunteers for a couple of days. But he changed his tune after the support staff union started grumbling about parents colouring too close to their craft lines. One fight at a time, I guess. The next one will be over teacher performance assessment and the chokehold of union seniority on school jobs.

interest rates at historical lows, now is the time to get ahead financially. Whether you are looking to buy your first home, or are 10 years into your current mortgage, making your mortgage fit into your long term financial plan is essential to becoming financially free. I want to teach you how you can save an average of $22,000

on your mortgage in the next 5 years. I can create a plan for your specific needs and help you get ahead faster than you ever imagined, without increasing your current payments. I am currently working with clients who, by keeping their payments exactly as they are now, will decrease their mortgage principal by over $105,000 in the next 5 years! I can guarantee that your bank will not show you how to do this, but I will show you for free, even if we do not do business together. You deserve to get ahead. I would love to help you!

who have suffered credit blemishes due to life experiences such as divorce or illness. I will listen to your story and find the right product for your situation. I do my homework on available mortgage products and keep abreast of any new products, or changes to existing products, to ensure that I find you the best mortgage to fit your specific needs. new house or you’re up for renewal on your existing mortgage, think about using a mortgage broker. Our services are complimentary to you, and I can offer you an abundance of choices that the banks simply can’t compete with. Because lenders pay me a federally regulated finder’s fee when the mortgage is placed, my focus is on getting you the best product for your needs, rather than favouring one lender over another. As a mortgage broker, I have access to a vast array of

lenders – up to 90+ institutions, including most of the big banks. This enables me to negotiate the best possible mortgage products and rates on your behalf. In comparison, if you approach your bank with a mortgage request, they can only offer you a narrow choice – their own products. Whether or not those are the best products for you, your banker’s job is to sell them to you. As a mortgage broker, I can cater to self-employed borrowers, as well as those

“As a mortgage broker, I can cater to self-employed borrowers, as well as those who have suffered credit blemishes due to life experiences …”

If you’re thinking of buying a home or refinancing a current mortgage, I will find the best product and rate for your unique situation.

Top Reasons for Using Jamie Moi: 1. Choice – access to multiple financial institutions 2. Costs – using a mortgage broker is free and I do all of the negotiating for you. 3. Knowledge – I stay up-to-date on available products and services 4. Flexibility – mortgage products are available for the self-employed or those who have credit blemishes 5.

am very pleased to advise the City and Township of Langley have met with surrounding municipalities to further explore implementation of a Fraser Valley Mobile Business License. Our thanks and congratulations to Councils and Municipal Staff for moving this initiative forward. In our efforts to promote the Langleys as a preferred business destination for investment, this initiative will certainly raise the profile as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;business friendlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; community! On March 1 the Board of Directors met with our peers in neighbouring communities and the BC Chamber at the Fraser Valley Chamber Advocacy Summit. The purpose of this program was to provide an opportunity for the Volunteer Board Members to meet and to share detailed information concerning issues and concerns affecting our region. The outcome of the Summit will be a regional effort to affect change at various government levels â&#x20AC;&#x201C; similar to the Mobile Business License process. We will immediately begin preparing presentations and recommendations concerning â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Reinstatement of the Business Voteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to be presented to the Municipal Councils and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Necessary Maintenance of the Fraser Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for approval at the BC Chamber AGM and to

be forwarded to the provincial and federal governments. Other issues that the Summit considered included possible changes to the Community Charter to give municipalities more flexibility when dealing with vacant and deteriorating buildings, and discussions towards equalization of business taxation in the region. Our Advocacy Committee is preparing recommended changes to the Property Transfer Tax to boost the development and construction industries, and calling for introduction of an elimination plan in the near future. We are also continuing our efforts to protect existing services at the Aldergrove Border Crossing and striving to gain permanent commercial status. Our Chamber Committees are introducing numerous additional programs this Spring that may be of interest to our membership. These programs include; the spring Fraser Valley Showcase & Mixer, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Show Me The Moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; conference for non-profits, special Peter Legge Luncheon, expansion of the Business Resource Centre and the Annual Golf Tournament. More information on these events is available in the Newsletter and on the Chamber website at www.langleychamber.com. I look forward to meeting with our members at the upcoming events!

The return of the Hardware Show The electric atmosphere at the Fort Gallery was palpable, three years ago, when 18 contemporary artists, each with their own personality and artistic style, put on a show of extraordinary creativity. It began with a challenge. Each artist was tasked with making a piece of artwork with $40 or less of merchandise purchased at a hardware store. Proof of purchase was posted beside the work of art. A group with a majority of painters and a few working in three dimensions, it took each artist out of their comfort zone, resulting in some thought-provoking creations. “It was this show that gave me the idea to join the group,” said Kristin Krimmel. “I wanted to be part of that creative energy. I knew that I would have to live up to the expectations of this exceptional group of artists. “They were willing to explore and experiment, and that’s invaluable for a serious artist. We need to step outside of our norm to move forward and discover new ways of thinking.” Two years later, the Fort Gallery is revisiting the challenge. The players have changed. Some artists have moved on, and new members have come to fill in the complement that makes up their numbers. This means that the idea pool will bring completely new visions and the synergy will be different. Be prepared for cleverness, a great deal of humor, and interesting contemporary works that step outside of the box. Join the artists at the opening reception March 9, at 7 p.m. The Fort Gallery operates Wednesday to Sunday, from noon to 5 p.m. It is located at 9048 Glover Rd.

Mountain Secondary grad, Vincent Clement, forms the foundation of the Fiddler on the Roof band’s sound, playing acoustic bass, guitar and contra-alto clarinet.

It’s Tradition

Trinity Western University School of Arts, Media and Culture presents Fiddler on the Roof, in celebration of the university’s 50th anniversary

ickets are going fast for Trinity Western University’s production of Fiddler on the Roof, playing March 13 to 31 at TWU’s School of the Arts, Media and Culture. This festive co-production by the Music and Theatre departments will ring in the university’s 50th year with a cast of 22 performers, accompanied by SAMC’s popular Klezmer Ensemble. The timeless story takes place in pre-revolutionary Russia, where a small community of Jewish villagers cope with their uncertain future by clinging to the ideals of their past. “How do we keep our balance? Tradition!” sings Tevye, who expects his beautiful daughters to marry whomever the matchmaker chooses for them. But Tevye’s daughters belong to a new world. They’d rather marry for love than consult a matchmaker … or a father. In this story of faith and family, Tevye discovers which traditions are most precious; and which ones might just be changing for the better. “What’s important in the end is not so much tradition itself but the truths behind it,” says Mountain Secondary grad Vincent Clements, “like living a life devoted to God and loving your family and neighbours.” Donning his best Klezmer attire, Clements is proud to be the

foundation of the Fiddler on the Roof band’s sound, playing acoustic bass guitar and contra-alto clarinet (the “big brother of the clarinet family,” as he likes to say). “I think people would be surprised by what a seven-piece band can do,” he said. “Many of us can play several different instruments, so the variety is sure to keep the audience on their toes. We’ll also be mingling with the cast onstage for portions of the show. “I’m looking forward to those cool interactions with characters.” TWU students first performed the show for the school’s 25th anniversary in 1987. The musical returns this spring for the 50th, kicking off 35 days of arts events at the third annual Festival of the Arts, Media and Culture. The show is directed by Aaron Caleb with musical direction by Allan Thorpe, vocal coaching by Caroline Harder, and choreography by Andrea Loewen. Playing March 13 – 31 at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday with Saturday matinees only. Special pricing on the first Tuesday. For tickets and information, visit www. twu.ca/theatre or email theatre@twu. ca. Explore the Festival of the Arts, Media and Culture at www.twu.ca/ samc.

It’s Pharmacy Awareness Week. Pharmacists take their commitment to your care very seriously – and it seems you appreciate it. Once again, an annual Ipsos Reid poll has placed pharmacists at the top of the list of most trusted professionals. This is especially significant given the recent evolutions of health care: pharmacists are now adapting prescriptions, administering injections and conducting comprehensive medication reviews. Thank you for your confidence! Think teens aren’t listening? A Seattle study demonstrated a drop in marijuana use by teens who were regular users after only two 30-60 minute “talks.” The key seems to be a non-lecturing approach. The styles used were motivational interviewing and education on current research and health/psychological effects. A year later, marijuana use was down 11-15% (motivational interviewing fared best) - with no further interventions used. Got time for a chat? Keeping ahead of drug abuse is a science all its own. The prescription painkiller oxycodone, a potent narcotic, has had its share of bad press due to its abuse potential. Manufacturers Pfizer Inc. and Acura Pharmaceuticals have created a specialized oxycodone tablet (Oxecta) that has built-in safeguards. Mixed with liquid, it forms a gel which can’t be drawn into a syringe and, if crushed to “snort,” it causes severe irritation and pain to nasal passages. Old and expired medications can be toxic to children or pets that may get into them as well as harmful to the environment if discarded of improperly. In British Columbia, we have the Medications Returns program. Simply collect your old, expired and/or unneeded medications and take them to your local pharmacy for safe, environmentally friendly disposal. In 2010, consumers returned close to 30,000 kilograms of medications! More info: www.medicationsreturn.ca Pharmacists can do so much more than just fill your prescriptions. Talk to us soon to find out how we can help optimize your health outcomes.

Gallery 7 mounts Earnest satire

RETIREMENT. LIVING!

Oscar Wilde sends up love, marriage and mistaken identity Oscar Wilde’s best known social satire, The Importance of Being Earnest, a witty comedy about love, marriage and the most bizarre case of mistaken identity in theatrical history will hit the stage in Abbotsford from March 9-24. And among the performers taking centre stage will be Aldergrove’s Kirstie Hilverda. “This play contains all the best qualities of a classic comedy: romance, misunderstandings, and a surprise twist ending,” says Ken Hildebrandt, Gallery 7 Theatre’s Executive Artistic Director and the play’s director. “Nothing is held sacred in this show. You’ll delight in the witty dialogue, the wonderful costumes and the beautiful set. It’s a perfect way to celebrate the advent of spring.” Oscar Wilde’s most famous comedy is a masterfully written romp and a comic masterpiece, featuring an absurd case of mistaken identity, and it explores matters of love, marriage, and social status. Algernon and Jack are middleclass socialites, bored with their existence, and seek adventure by assuming different identities. Their charades can only go so far, however, and things really come to a head when they each decide to settle down and get married. It’s a hilarious and biting satire of Victorian morals and manners that encourages us to earnestly pursue the finer things of life. Gallery 7 Theatre’s production will feature a talented cast of both new and familiar performers. Playing the role of John Worthing is newcomer, Matt Veenbaas. His love interest, Gwendolen Fairfax, will be played by Sarah Hu, who last appeared in Around the World in 80 Days. The indelible Algernon Moncrieff is played by Michael McIntyre, and the young, bright Cecily Cardew is played by Aldergrove’s Hilverda. The stage manager is Langley’s Charlene

Spartans crowned champs GARY AHUJA Times Sports

It was 90 minutes before his team’s CIS national men’s volleyball semifinal game when Trinity Western Spartans starting setter Ben Ball finally emerged from his hotel room. Immediately following his team’s quarterfinal victory over Dalhousie the night before, Ball had rushed back to the Spartans’ hotel. He spent all night vomiting and all day in bed. To make matters worse, his back-up, Devyn Plett was also sick and sharing a hotel room with Ball. Ball, one of three graduating seniors on the team, was a “little bit worried” this was how he would spend his final days in a Spartan uniform. “I was getting tons of text messages and Facebook email from people praying for me,” Ball said on Monday, from the Ottawa airport where the team was awaiting its flight home. “It was really encouraging to hear all that support I had and all the people who were thinking and praying for me. “I really think God gave me the strength to play in that game because I didn’t really eat all day and I don’t think I could have done it (played) otherwise.” Ball emerged to take the court, both in Saturday’s victory over the host team from Queen’s, and then the next afternoon, against the Laval Rouge et Or, in the championship final. The Spartans won both games, 3-0 in the semifinal and 3-1 in the final, to capture the program’s second straight Tantramar Trophy, as the CIS men’s national champions.

Scott STEWART/Trinity Western University

Teammates swarm Marc Howatson after he delivered the game-winning ace which gave the Trinity Western Spartans a second straight CIS men’s volleyball national championship on Sunday in Kingston, Ont. Ball, who felt much better by Sunday, was named the tournament’s most valuable player. He was also named the CIS player of the year at Thursday’s awards banquet. “That (award) is a huge credit to my teammates,” Ball said. “Everyone was playing incredible, which made it a lot easier on me.” “It feels awesome (to win again); the season has been pretty incredible.” The Spartans went a combined 34-2 against CIS competition, including 24-1 in league play and playoffs.And after they dropped that lone league match, the team lost just four sets over the final 10 matches. “If we hadn’t lost to Manitoba in the middle

of the season, I don’t think we could have pushed through against Laval in the finals,” Ball said. “Laval came out flying and we had to turn to each other and learn from the one loss we had.” Laval won the opening set 25-19, but the Spartans rallied back 25-19, 25-17 and 30-28. “Ever since that loss, this group has been unbelievable, at a level I have never seen before,” said coach Ben Josephson. The coach also raved about the play of Ball, especially considering the circumstances. “We didn’t even know if he could stand up,” Josephson said. “We were pretty concerned but he battled

through it and then got better for the final.” With Ball quarterbacking the offence, the Spartans had a team hitting percentage of .400, an extraordinarily high number. By comparison, Laval’s attack percentage was .175. “I think the guys picked up their play to a level I haven’t seen,” Josephson said. “I think they rallied to protect Ben. As Marc (Howatson) said,‘(Ben) has made us look so good this year, let’s make sure he looks good.’” Dan Jansen Van Doorn was named player of the match in Sunday’s final. He was also a tournament all-star, as was Rudy Verhoeff. Verhoeff (community service), Josephson (coach of the year) and Jarrod Offereins (top libero) all won CIS awards.

Gators fall in Valley final GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Gary AHUJA/Langley Times

Walnut Grove Gators’s Jadon Cohee drives to the hoop against Pitt Meadows Marauders’ Ryan Hopson during the Fraser Valley AAA senior boys championship final at the Langley Events Centre.

For three quarters, the Walnut Grove Gators and the Pitt Meadows Marauders went blow-for-blow in the gold medal game of the Fraser Valley senior boys’ AAA basketball championships. But in the fourth quarter, the Marauders seized control, building a double digits lead they would not relinquish, winning 75-57. The game has been relatively close throughout, with Pitt Meadows leading by five after one quarter, the Gators up by two at the half, and the Marauders ahead by a basket after three quarters. “First of all, you have to give credit to Pitt Meadows,” said Gators coach George Bergen, following the loss on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre. “They defended us really well. We wanted to get out and run — that is the nature of our beast — and they wouldn’t allow us to run like we have been doing.”

A big difference in the game was the Marauders’ mastery of the boards. “First of all, you have to get a rebound to run and we didn’t rebound the ball well enough,” Bergen said. “That slows down the run. And they (Pitt Meadows) were good transition defending.” The Marauders and the Gators were the top two seeds in the 32-team Fraser Valley championships. Both were already guaranteed a spot at next week’s B.C. AAA provincial championships as the top seven from the Valley would be moving on. “At the start of the season, I thought we could be in the final four,” Bergen said. “So that was one goal, and making it to the final game would have been another.” Despite losing the final, Bergen said he is “thrilled the guys made it this far.” “I think it is a really good team

effort and it was our goal, and we achieved it,” he said. The players — while happy to be moving on to provincials — were still upset they came second — which matches the senior boys’ program’s best-ever finish. “We always want to go for first,” said Ethan McKean. “This is disappointing. Nobody is happy with the loss.” This was the second time the two teams met, and last time, Pitt Meadows won by six. McKean said the team has to get used to the big-game atmosphere. “This was good experience for us, and we will learn from it,” he said. “I am sure we will come out stronger at provincials.” The Gators’ Jadon Cohee and De’Sean Monsanto were named first team all-stars while Paul Getz was a second team all-star. Walnut Grove opens the provincial championships next week (March 13) at 8:30 a.m. against the winner of Mount Douglas and Caledonia.

Gators’ Grade 8s, juniors second at Valleys GARY AHUJA Times Sports

The Walnut Grove Gators are hoping for one more shot a the Tamanawis Wildcats. Back in January, the Wildcats “thumped up really good,” admitted Gators coach George Kozlovic, talking about a 20-point loss in Walnut Grove’s home gym. Fast forward to Monday night (Feb. 27) and the two Grade 8 boys’ basketball teams — who entered as the top two seeds — squared off at Westview Secondary in the Fraser Valley championship final. The Wildcats won by a bucket, 55-53. “It was a tough loss, but our team played fantastic,” said Kozlovich, who is co-head coach along with Terry Stead. “Despite the loss, we are very proud of the way we played. “We would have liked to have won, but Tamanawis has been the best team in the Valley all year.” The Gators cruised to the final eight after a pair of dominating wins in the first two rounds: 70-9 against the G.W. Graham Grizzlies and 53-25 versus the Eugene Reimer Ravens. In the quarter-finals, they edged the Holy Cross Crusaders 66-59 and then they won narrowly over the W.A. Fraser Falcons. Playing the Wildcats for the second time, Kozlovic said the team didn’t change their strategy from the first contest. “Our kids just played a real tough, tough game,” he said. “(Tamanawis) are way bigger than us and have more skill than us. “Our kids came to battle; they didn’t back down.” Kozlovic said that in the first game, the Gators may have “overmatched and intimidated.” “That wasn’t the case (in the final); we basically went toe-to-toe with them for the entire game,” he said. “It basically came down to one or two plays at the end, that was the difference.” The Gators stormed out of the gates in the final, leading 17-7 at one point, which forced Tamanawis to switch from man-to-man and into a zone defence.

The move worked as the Wildcats turned an eight-point deficit after one quarter into a sixpoint lead at the half. The Gators cut the lead to four points heading into the fourth and were within two points for most of the fourth quarter. “It was a great team effort from top to bottom,” Kozlovic said. Wei Chung and Sam McNicholl earned allstar awards. The Gators also advanced to the provincial championships, which are being hosted by Pitt Meadows. The tournament runs March 8-10. Three other Langley teams were competing at the Fraser Valley championships. The Brookswood Bobcats won their opener, 38-37 over L.A. Matheson, but lost in the second round to Southridge, 51-46. The Langley Fundamental Titans lost 42-29 to Thomas Haney while the H.D. Stafford Skyhawks dropped a 39-24 decision to North Delta. ••••• After hitting a buzzerbeating three-pointer to force overtime and then taking the lead in overtime, the Walnut Grove Gators could not close things out. Instead, the Gleneagle Talons rallied for a 44-40 victory in the Fraser Valley junior boys basketball championship final on Feb. 26.The game was played at Fleetwood Park. With his team down by three in regulation, Trevor Whiton gave the Gators new life. “He turned, chucked up a prayer and banked in a three with just 0.1 seconds left, to force overtime,” said Gators coach Jon Fast. And Walnut Grove carried that momentum into the extra period, quickly going ahead by four points. But a costly make turned the game in Gleneagle’s favour as Walnut Grove fouled a Talons player. “That stopped the clock and they got two quick points,” Fast said. “After that, they just took over and we didn’t make a shot.” “(But) the boys played really, really well,” he added. The Gators were also hurt by the fact two

of their top players — Varun Sentilkumar and Lucas Hodgson – had fouled out before overtime. The Talons also did a good job in containing Sentilkumar, who is usually one of Walnut Grove’s go-to-scorers. “They played Varun really tough and didn’t give him very much space at all,” Fast said. “He was a non-factor most of the game.” “My Grade 9s had to step up to the plate and they kept fighting and

kept battling,” he said. “But (Gleneagle) just had one big guy who just kept rebounding.” Fast was referring to a Gleneagle player who was six-foot-six and dominated the boards. In the final minute, with Walnut Grove employed a fouling strategy to try and get the ball back. And it nearly worked, as the Talons missed seven of their eight free throws. The only problem was Gleneagle kept getting the rebound.

This was Walnut Grove’s fourth meeting against Gleneagle and they fell to 1-3 against them. The Gators won the first game of the season, by 30 points, but since then, the Talons have won by six, 11 and now four points. Sentilkumar and Bryce Derton were named to the Fraser Valley all-star team. Gleneagle entered the 32-team tournament as the top seed while Walnut Grove,

the Langley district champions, were ranked sixth. Walnut Grove won their opener, 59-20 over Chilliwack, and then edged Johnston Heights 40-35 in round two. The Gators edged Pitt Meadows 52-50 in the quarter-finals and then defeated Panorama Ridge 51-40 for a spot in the championship game. Both Gleneagle and Walnut Grove advance to the B.C. provincial championships,

which run Mar. 8-10 at Vancouver College.The Gators are making their first appearance at the championships since 2006. Three other Langley teams were competing at the Fraser Valley championships, but all lost in the opening round. Brookswood fell 47-39 to Sardis, Credo Christian lost 56-32 to W.J. Mouat and Langley Fundamental dropped a 77-30 decision to Tamanawis.
