ON THE HUNT

MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

A 58-year-old woman has died from head injuries she suffered in a horse riding accident in south Langley on Monday. It’s believed the victim, described as an experienced horsewoman, was thrown from the horse she was riding, said Langley RCMP. The accident took place around 4 p.m. at Keenebridge Farm at 375 232 Street. People on the farm found the woman and called 911. She was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital by air ambulance where she was pronounced dead, said police spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. Several horse racing websites have confirmed that the victim is Shauna Ferguson, a longtime Hastings Racetrack owner and trainer. On themanestreet.com forum, one person said “Shauna was an incredible horsewoman, having spent her lifetime working with Thoroughbred race horses . . . she was involved in a freak accident while ponying a young two year old thoroughbred off of her pony . . . Shanua gave it all to her craft.” Another person wrote that Hastings Park has lost another true horseman and friend. She wrote that Shauna had “patience, and a soft manner with her horses, brought out the best in her equine competitors.”

A social media campaign to catch the attention of Canadian pop star Justin Bieber has spread across the globe. On Wednesday, a pair of Australian women joined in the effort — called Taylor’s Beliebers — to have the world famous singer pay tribute to their cousin, Taylor Steyn, who was killed in a Surrey car crash on Good Friday. Jenna and Julianne Behr posted a YouTube video — which joins another posted earlier this week by Steyn’s friend Jake Vandermeer — asking the singer to dedicate a performance of My Girl by the Temptations to their cousin’s memory. Before she died, Julianne said, Steyn had planned to get a tattoo of lyrics from the song on her ribs. The line “I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day” perfectly captured her life, Julianne said, describing Steyn as having “an ever-optimistic bright smile and infectious laugh. “She was absolutely obsessed with Justin Bieber, a quirk which many of us didn’t understand.” “As funny as it sounds, she was a 21-year-old that had a bucket list that involved Justin Bieber,” said Jenna.

Money coming for school construction Education Minister confirms funds will be in place to begin construction of new schools by end of the year MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Funding for new schools was the topic du jour asked of B.C. Minister of Education George Abbott, who spent last Wednesday touring Langley schools. Abbott told The Times that the money promised in October 2011 by Premier Christy Clark will be in place for construction to begin by the end of 2012. Abbott confirmed that he now has the power to release new money and no longer has to go through the treasury board to give projects the OK.That should speed up the process, he said. Almost $60 million has been set aside for the building of a middle and elementary school,Abbott said. Both of those will be constructed at the same time with an estimated completion date of 2014, said school district secretary-treasurer David Green. At the same time Abbott was touring, Langley School District was confirming the location of the new elementary school will be at 209 Street and 77 Avenue.The middle school will built in the Yorkson area on 84 Avenue. That means three new schools will be built by that time, but none of those will be in the Willoughby slope area, which has faced a huge

population growth over the past seven years. RC Garnett has a student population more than double its capacity with future growth predicted, even with its change to a K-5. Asked if the ministry will ever change its policy about how it approves schools to be built, he replied that he likes what he sees with the board of education’s long term facilities planning. School district secretarytreasurer Green agrees. “The long term facilities plan will identify capital plan projects for the next five years.The results may be the expansion of R.C. Garnett or/ and Mountain Secondary,” said Green. Currently, funding for new schools in B.C. will not be approved until a school district can prove a neighbourhood has the population to accommodate it. The problem most municipalities have, as Langley has in the Willoughby area, is the schools are already way over capacity. Portables are put in to accommodate the overpopulation while the district waits for new schools or additions to be approved. It is up to the Ministry of Education to approve and fund construction of schools, not the school district. It’s a cart before horse policy that many school districts would like to see

Education Minister George Abbott visited James Hill Elementary School last week, one of several schools he toured during his tour of Langley. changed. “It is numbers that drive construction,”Abbott replied. Abbott’s first stop was at Walnut Grove Secondary where students gave a presentation of their antibullying program. He was then introduced to the outdoor EDGE program as well. “I was hugely impressed with the anti-bullying program,” said Abbott. He had lunch with Langley Board of Education where he answered questions about the promised capital funding, said

Preliminary work is already being done on both new school sites, said Langley School District secretarytreasurer David Green. The geotechnical assessments and environmental testing on the sites has been done.

The Board of Education has to pass a bylaw agreeing to begin construction on both sites and then “we’ll get to work,” said Green. While the $60 million capital funding from the Ministry of Education isn’t exactly cash in hand, it

school district spokesperson Sandy Wakeling, after the meeting. “The minister is looking at creative ways to tender projects,” said Wakeling. What that means is Langley School District will use the Lynn Fripps Elementary design as a template to build the new elementary school at 209 Street and 77 Avenue. That way, they aren’t paying anything more for new designs. Surrey has expressed interest in using the Lynn doesn’t stop the district from working on both schools, he said. In order for the Ministry to give Langley the money, the school district has to provide a “project definition report” that details how big the school will be, what will be in

Fripps design as their template as well, he said. Langley may look at a Surrey design for the middle school being built at 208 Street and 84 Avenue. Abbott visited James Hill Elementary, where he toured several classrooms and the special education room. There he was given a wishlist by teachers and then had a meeting with the Langley Teachers Association. That was followed by a meeting with staff and teachers. the school, costs and budgets. “The ministry has our report for the elementary school but the middle school report is just in its final stages,” said Green. The middle school is larger and will take longer to build, he said.

Langley RCMP’s serious crime section is investigating after a 55-year-old woman plunged from the second storey window of a Langley City apartment on Tuesday morning. Emergency responders were called to the apartment in the 20200 block of 56 Avenue around 3 a.m., said Langley RCMP spokesperson Const. Craig van Herk. The woman suffered serious injuries and was taken by Air Ambulance, which landed near the Army and Navy parking lot. “At this point we don’t know what happened and we are conducting interviews trying to determine if this was an accident, on purpose or if she was pushed,” said van Herk. Some witnesses were being unco-operative, said police. The victim is not in any condition yet to complete a full interview with police, he said.

Road trip tips: The serious side of fun vehicles. RVs. More to love, more to protect. The equipment and contents of your motor home are not included in the declared value of the vehicle. Collision, Comprehensive, and Specified Perils coverage takes care of physical damage to the vehicle as well as contents (up to a certain limit). Additional optional coverage should include emergency vacation coverage, additional contents coverage and insurance on permanent s t r u c t u r e s related to your INSURANCE r e c r e a t i o n a l OUTLOOK vehicle.

Garage and storage doors are rolling open across the province as the warming weather brings out our seasonal vehicles, or motorbikes and RVs. But before you hit the road, you need to make sure your paperwork is in order and your recreational vehicles, loved ones and belongings are protected. Here are some tips on making sure you have fun with complete peaceof-mind. Get coverage. R Vs and motorbikes are not insured like regular passenger AUTO vehicles. You’ll INSURANCE need to determine WITH the worth and LORI insure them TAYLOR accordingly. For seasonal vehicles, the declared value becomes the policy limit and the premium is based on this value. It's important to reconsider the value every year: Is the vehicle worth more because of modifications, or worth less due to depreciation and additional wear and tear? Discuss this with a BCAA Insurance Advisor when you purchase or renew your policy. Get it right the first time. The right coverage is critical. A basic ICBC policy does not provide coverage for physical damage or higher limits of liability. You may want to consider purchasing Collision, and Comprehensive coverage to ensure that your seasonal vehicles have physical damage coverage.

“Her wish was that he would follow her on Twitter, mention her in a tweet or reply to her 300 tweets on his birthday.” By Wednesday afternoon one of those wishes was granted when Bieber began following Steyn on Twitter. Quoting a letter written by Steyn’s brother, Miles, which is posted below their video, the girls said that Bieber’s music “meant everything to her, she meant everything to us. And so now, in a way, his music has become a part of our family.” Their immediate goal was to have as many people as possible tweet #taylorsbeliebers to Bieber at noon on Wednesday in an effort to have the singer acknowledge Steyn in some way. Having Bieber comment, follow her on Twitter or somehow make mention of her would mean the world to her family and friends, said the cousins. Earlier this week, Vandermeer posted a YouTube video titled “Help us find Justin Bieber” asking for help to contact the singer, in the hope of getting a video message or having a note posted to Steyn’s Twitter account or on her Facebook wall for her friends to see. “Really, anything at all that

Acknowledging that “it is clearly a long shot,” that the singer will respond, Vandermeer said that Steyn’s friends are holding out hope “for a chance so we

can honour Taylor in a special way, because she was special to all of us. “It would mean a great deal to her and all her friends if we could somehow get in contact with Justin Bieber,” he said. “We would appreciate any way you can acknowledge this amazing life that was taken from us so tragically.” Vandermeer issued a plea to anyone with a connection to the singer to help them get in touch with Bieber. “Anything we can do to get a step closer, please contact us Taylorsbeliebers@gmail.com.” He also asks viewers to repost, like, or share his video in any way they can to help get the word out. They have also set up a public Facebook page called Taylor’s Beliebers. This isn’t the first time Bieber has been called upon, via social media, to lend his name to a cause. Ottawa’s Helene Campbell, who recently underwent a successful double lung transplant, appealed to the Ontario singer in January to help raise awareness about the need for organ donors. He responded through his Twitter account, which has nearly 20 million followers.

Cover the map. While your RV or motorbike coverage is valid in Canada and the continental U.S., you need to arrange separate coverage if you’re driving it to Mexico. Be sure to plan in advance. Cover your options. It's also advantageous to buy a policy that spans the whole year, so that at the end of the season, you don't need to buy special storage insurance for your RV or motorbike. Purchase adequate insurance and roadside assistance for your seasonal vehicle before you set off on your road trip.

Deficit repayment ahead of schedule School District could have $13.5 million deficit off the books by next year MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Education was able to deliver some good news to Education Minister George Abbott when he toured Langley schools last Wednesday. At a lunch with Abbott, held at Walnut Grove Secondary, the board told him that the School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $13.5 million deficit could be paid off by next year.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the deficit could be paid down by June 2013,â&#x20AC;? said David Green, Langley School District secretary-treasurer, when presenting the annual budget to the board in late February. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two years ahead of schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could pay down $5 million of the deficit [this year].â&#x20AC;? The remaining deficit is $5 million and could be paid off in 2012/2013. But to continue to pay down

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we get there, we can reinvest into our classrooms,â&#x20AC;? said Green. Trustee Rod Ross warned that Langley, much like other school districts, relies too heavily on revenue from international students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are addicted to international student revenue,â&#x20AC;? Ross said. He wants Langley to do as Delta does and wait until the actual numbers of how many international students arrive instead of trying to predict how many enrol each year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are living in our overdraft. We spend it before the money actually comes in.â&#x20AC;?

surplus every year to pay down the $13.5 million deficit that was run up during several years of overspending. A new resource allocation model has worked well to find extra savings and there were more student enrolement than predicted. In a meeting with district staff last fall, the Ministry of Education made it clear that it would like to see the deficit paid down sooner than the given timeline, said Green. In his report, he indicated that paying down the deficit should be the priority over adding staff and services.

that much requires meeting with all the stakeholders at the same time to make sure everyone agrees on how to retire the deficit early, said Green. The board David approved the Green 2011-2012 budget in the amount of $160,265,421. The province requires the district to find at least $3.375 million

If you were caught speeding through the school zone at James Kennedy Elementary last Wednesday (April 4), you might have been given a ticket by a Grade 6 student. With hand-drawn signs asking drivers to slow down, several Grade 5 and 6 students worked with the police to hand out speeding tickets for the day. “We wanted to remind the public that we are still stepping up enforcement around school zones and with the children here, it reminds drivers why driving safe is so important,” said Langley RCMP Const. Steven Braid. “The children are our future.” Braid came up with the idea because he thought it was important to remind drivers who speeding and careless driving can impact.

Langley RCMP Const. Steven Braid let James Kennedy Elementary students hand out speeding tickets last week. Grade 6 students Matthew McDonald, Hannah Pirhonen and Jordan Selby with Grade 5 students Duncan Dedecker and Joshua Williams made ‘slow down’ signs. the police and learn lessons around speeding. The students were eager to hand out tickets, and they even got to sit in the patrol car and find out what goes into writing up a speeding

ticket. One of the first victims of the day was a young man in a sports car, with a radar detector on the dash. “We are out there all the time,” said Braid.

Promo video for City cost $25,000 A video promoting the City of Langley and the surrounding region, hosted by NFL Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw, cost the City and its partner, Tourism Langley, just under $25,000 to produce. The City of Langley paid two-thirds and Langley Tourism the remaining third of the $24,800 fee to shoot the nearly five minute promotional video. The City’s approximately $16,370 share was taken from the council enterprise fund. The fees were paid to cover production costs, not for air time, Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender said. “Council felt the value of the exposure, by the time we get all the airings — I don’t even know what the cost would be if we bought that time.” The video will be aired once each nation-wide in the U.S. and in Canada on an American travel channel and its Canadian affiliate. In addition, it will air 30 times throughout the coming year in markets chosen by the City — these include northern U.S. states and provinces in Western Canada. “The real value from a tourism point of view is to have it air closer to home,” Fassbender said. The City also gets unlimited rights to the video as well as to nearly two hours of raw footage that was taken during the one-day shoot, but did not make the final cut. When he presented the video at the March 20 Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce dinner meeting, Fassbender made no reference to the payment, but the omission was not deliberate, he said. “There was no attempt not to disclose the fact we paid for it. I didn’t feel it was germane to the context of the presentation,” said Fassbender. Since the video has gone online, Fassbender said, he has received calls from communities in the Maritimes, Manitoba and Northern B.C. asking about the process and whether he believes it is good value. The video was shown on CNN Headline News in the Seattle, Portland and Spokane markets last week and will air in other markets as well.

Try a little respect

ransLink’s annual report, released last week just before the Easter long weekend, makes for some fascinating reading. Gas tax revenue actually declined in 2011, falling $12 million from the $324 million collected in 2010. While there is no evidence that people are driving significantly less, it is obvious that many are doing their best to avoid the TransLink tax. That’s why some people travel to the U.S. to gas up, often with a number of jerry cans. Others head to Abbotsford or Mission, where gas prices are lower because there is no TransLink tax. TransLink just boosted the gas tax by two cents a litre, but the net effect may be to turn a trickle of tax evaders into a much larger stream. The mayors who backed the higher gas tax claim that another $40 million will be raised. It is quite likely that this target will not be met. While some drivers will continue to fill up in Metro Vancouver, many others will not. When the higher gas taxes are combined with the higher limits for bringing back U.S. goods duty-free, which go into effect on June 1, this tax boost may do little other than drive more shoppers across the border. This is hardly good for the local economy, and would seem to be a self-defeating measure. Transit ridership in 2011 was at record levels, with ridership up 8.6 per cent. This is likely due, at least in part, to widened use of U-Passes by university students. Another factor was the Vancouver Canucks’ extended playoff run. While transit fares collected totalled $444 million, one wonders how much more would be collected if all riders were made to pay fares, and if fines were actually collected. Golden Ears Bridge tolls collected totalled $33.7 million, almost 11 per cent less than TransLink had expected to collect. The bridge continues to be lightly-used, and TransLink’s brief experiment last year with lower tolls at certain times didn’t seem to attract much additional traffic. Overall Golden Ears traffic was up, which seems to indicate that more people are using it as a travel alternative. The higher traffic levels may also be related to more economic activity. It will be interesting to see how the bridge use changes when the new Port Mann Bridge opens. Tolls on the two will be similar, but the Golden Ears may get more use by people who have thus far avoided tolls by using the Port Mann.

nergy Minister Rich Coleman has labelled as “urban myth” reports of skyrocketing bills in some homes after BC Hydro installed smart meters. “This is nonsense,” Coleman said. “They give you a story, we check it out and find out there’s nothing wrong with the smart meter. We find out there’s something like a space heater operating through the winter.” Right. A space heater can make a bimonthly bill increase to $2,000 from its usual $200 for a 78-year-old senior in Powell River. And it must have been one heck of a space heater that caused the bimonthly hydro bill at a Kamloops home to jump to $4,800. The fact is, as has been shown by zany numbers on the bills, smart meters are not infallible and Coleman and the BC Liberals need to greet complaints with a little more respect and a lot less scorn. There are undoubtedly instances in which bills that are marginally higher can be attributed to the use of more heat during a cold winter. But to suggest anything other than malfunction in cases of hydro bills jumping 10 or 20 times in cost is an affront to the B.C. taxpayer, overburdened as they are by the vast array of fee hikes thrown at them this year — including a BC Hydro rate hike as of April 1. Sharelynn Moore, vice-president of corporate communications for Itron, the Washington-based company that supplied BC Hydro with smart meters, said the Kamloops meter is the first it knows of that has been malfunctioning in this way. Moore said less than 0.5 per cent of smart meters in use have malfunctioned. We have no reason to doubt her. But, as the cases in Kamloops and Powell River and elsewhere seem to show, far from being an “urban myth,” even a minuscule ratio of malfunctioning smart meters can make the statements of some politicians look rather dumb by comparison. —Kamloops This Week The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Langley City because of his lack of action.

Lack of police response frustrates residents Editor: This is a response to the article written by Monique Tamminga titled “Brazen thefts on rise in City,” (The Times, April 5). I find Mayor Peter Fassbender’s comments in this article interesting. He states that the crime rate in the City of Langley is going down, but doesn’t cite what study or survey is the source of his knowledge. It is also very interesting that Mayor Fassbender was very protective of the RCMP during their recent contract negotiations, but now when residents of Langley like myself question the way things are going in our city, he throws Supt. Derek Cooke “under the bus” by saying that if residents are not happy, they need to complain.

What good is complaining to RCMP management going to do if we, as residents, can’t get the RCMP officers to respond anyway? My apartment building was one of those that were broken into recently, and I personally had to call the dispatcher multiple times until they finally decided to do me a favour and send an officer to take a report. The officer arrived at 3 a.m. but was quick to leave to another break and entering call. Of course he didn’t come back, as he said he would. I had to call yet once again the following day to coerce the dispatcher to send someone to finish the report. I know the mayor was recently reelected, so he is not expected to be

When multiple break-ins happen with little or no police response within such a short amount of time, it is time for him to pick up the phone again. I say to him, the platitudes are getting old, because if you and your administration are investing your valuable time in rubber stamping all of these new condo complexes in this city, you might want to think about protecting these residents. I know the neighbourhood he lives in doesn’t have to worry about crime, but not all of his constituency is as fortunate. So don’t just let us eat cake. Bill Romswinckel, Langley City

news

Langley serial killer Davey Mato Butorac will go to trial for the 2006 slaying of Aldergroveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Margaret Redford sometime in the late fall or early spring of 2013. Jury selection for his trial is slated for Jan. 29 to Feb. 4, 2013 in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. He was last in court

on this matter on March 29. Butorac is already serving a life sentence for killing two sex trade workers in the spring and summer of 2007. DNA found on his shoe and in his car linked him to those murders, which took place in Langley City and Abbotsford. Redfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family made several

pleas for the killer to come forward after her case went cold. It was after Butorac was arrested for the sex trade workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; murders that he was first linked to Redfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. Redfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body was found floating in the Bertrand Creek, which is blocks from where Butorac lived with his father.

Mayor seeing fitness results

MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Almost half way through a 90-day fitness challenge, Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender is feeling and seeing results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting muscle tone, I am sleeping better and my blood-sugar levels are really good,â&#x20AC;? said Fassbender. Fassbender has been working out three times a week with a personal trainer with Innovative Fitness in Langley. He usually starts around 6 a.m. or 7 a.m., depending on his schedule. His workouts are pretty intense including doing a six kilometre walk/run recently, weights and lots of other cardio exercises. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also been eating smaller meals more often and staying away from starch. Despite all the exercise, he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost any weight though. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not worried about it because this often happens when you lose fat and gain muscle,â&#x20AC;? he said. What heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most proud of is sticking with the program.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m actually having a lot of fun with it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I might just see my abs yet.â&#x20AC;? Last month, four Lower Mainland Vancouver mayors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dianne Watts, Langley Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peter Fassbender, Coquitlamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Richard Stewart and Abbotsfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bruce Banman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; signed up for the Healthy Community Challenge, which aims to get Lower Mainland residents to lead healthier lives. The three-month long challenge â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is free for those who choose to participate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; began in early March. Those wishing to take part in the challenge may sign up online (www.healthycommunitychallenge. com.) For Fassbender, it was a visit to the doctor nine years ago that served as a wake-up call, when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and told he had gallstones and Type 2 diabetes. The news he was a diabetic didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come as a great shock. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d

seen the warning signs but chose to ignore them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t willing to accept that my lifestyle was causing that,â&#x20AC;? he said. While his (ultimately successful) cancer treatment and gall bladder surgery were in the hands of his physicians, Fassbender knew that controlling his diabetes would be his job. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one reason he took part in the 90-day Healthy Community Challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our health care costs are getting out of

control,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The mindset is, the system will look after us, that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not responsible for ourselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m responsible for my health.â&#x20AC;? Not everyone can afford a personal trainer or even a gym membership â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to, Fassbender said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting fit is not a huge leap,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be an expensive program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can cost as little as the price of an umbrella and a bit of shoe leather.â&#x20AC;?

Friends rally for Aldergrove family in crisis Fundraiser aims to help set Mark Stockbrocks on road to recovery KURT LANGMANN Black Press

Family members and friends are rallying around Aldergrove’s Stockbrocks family in their time of crisis. With the help of old friends at the Langley School District office, a volunteer committee has put together a fundraising event for Mark Stockbrocks on Sunday afternoon, April 22, in the old Sts. Joachim and Ann Catholic Church on 272 Street. Mark was a tall and very fit young man, aiming for a career as a firefighter, when he collapsed at the Grey Cup game in Vancouver last November. He was rushed to hospital, where it was discovered that he had suffered a cerebral haemorrage. Mark was in a coma for several weeks and when he finally awoke

he was paralyzed on his left side. He remains a patient at G.F. Strong and is confined to a wheelchair. He has a long road to recovery ahead of him. His mother, Pat, a retired school district employee, has rented an apartment in Vancouver to be at his side. She is looking forward to bringing him home to Aldergrove in the near future as he continues his rehabilitation, but for the foreseeable future he will be confined to a wheelchair. The fundraiser is aimed at helping make the Stockbrocks home wheelchair accessible, among other needs. The Stockbrocks are a close-knit family, as Pat’s husband passed away 15 years ago, leaving her to raise Mark and his siblings, Matthew and Alison, on her own. And they were doing great — Matthew became an air traffic controller at Victoria and Vancouver airports, Alison is a nurse at Delta hospital and Mark taught English in Japan for several years before coming back to Aldergrove to work for the school district and work toward a fire fighter career. Three weeks after Mark awoke from his coma, Matthew was diagnosed with acute leukemia. Matthew has since recovered, is in remission and is back at work. All of the family and their friends are hoping for a similar recovery for Mark, but it may take years of therapy. The April 22 event will feature entertainment by a Canadian jazz trumpet star who also grew up in this area, Brad Turner, and his wife, singer Tia (Wautier). Refreshments will be served, including a cash bar, and there will be door prizes, a 50-50 draw and silent auction. Tickets are $20 each and can be ordered by calling Joan Beck at 604-534-7891, ext. 353, or email to jbeck@ sd35.bc.ca.

With a bouquet clutched in one hand and a computer mouse in the other, Langley resident Cassandra Rush is determined to secure a $5,000 wedding dress. She and fiancé Joshua Beil are competing against couples from across Canada for online votes in an effort to make it on TV and win a dress from New York wedding boutique Kleinfeld Bridal. Rush and Beil were the only ones from Langley to make the cut as one of the Top 20 finalists from Canada for American cable series Say Yes to the Dress. “Every girl dreams of going to Kleinfeld,” Rush said. “Honestly, it’s the best, most prestigious wedding store, probably, in North America.” The pair managed to make it into the finals after Rush created a computer slideshow and wrote a story about how the pair came together. She recalls how a year into their relationship Beil followed her from Alberta to B.C. just two days after she moved away to attend Capilano University. Beil proposed last Valentine’s Day after they two had been dating a decade. The couple plan to marry early next year. “I don’t think love just happens right away. I think it grows,” Rush said. “(Love) has its ups and downs. We’ve definitely gone through all of those and we’re still here after 10 years.” In addition to a $5,000 dress, the couple that wins the contest will also get airfare, accommodation and $500 spending money to go along with their appearance on Say Yes to the Dress. Online voting ends 9 p.m. on May 14. People can go to theringbearer.ca/kleinfeld/ratings/76 to vote for Rush and Beil.

Premier takes swing at TransLink bonus pay

JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Executive bonuses at TransLink will fall under the scrutiny of an already-promised audit of the transportation authority, Premier Christy Clark said on April 3. TransLink paid 22 executives $325,000 in incentive pay last year, under a system that has been in place since 2006. This year’s bonuses are still to be determined and paid out in the coming weeks to nine eligible executives and TransLink says it is reviewing whether the program should continue in future years. “I don’t think they should be getting bonuses,” Clark said at a stop in Surrey to highlight progress on transportation initiatives. “I don’t think that these executives should be getting them at a time when property taxpayers are under huge pressure all across the province,” she said. “We all need to buckle down and that includes people in the public sector as well.” The provincial government has vowed to conduct an audit to help find savings within TransLink and potentially avoid the need for further property tax increases or new short-term revenue sources requested by area mayors to cover transit expansion commitments. Clark said bonuses will also be examined. But the province scrutinized TransLink’s structure, including its executive pay and bonuses, less than three years ago and concluded few changes were needed. A review conducted by B.C. Comptroller General Cheryl Wenezenki-Yolland in the fall of 2009, under the orders of then-Transportation Minister Shirley Bond, found executive compensation at TransLink ranged from “reasonable to high, but not excessive.” Under the bonus program, TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis can earn up to 20 per cent more each year on top of his $325,000 base salary, based on prior year performance, and other executives at TransLink can earn up to 15 per cent more. The 2009 review recommended keeping

the bonus pay system, but giving the Mayors Council final say on the payments. That was part of a series of legislative

changes the report urged to give more oversight powers to the mayors — none of which were implemented by the prov-

ince. TransLink did respond internally to one criticism in the report — that its 28 executives at that time

across all subsidiaries was too much — and has since made cuts in the senior ranks. Jarvis said TransLink has a “rigorous” process

to award incentive bonuses. “Each individual’s performance is tied to corporate goals, including budget manage-

ment, cost efficiency and customer satisfaction,” he said. “If these goals are not achieved, no incentive is paid.”

Float your boat for a cure

GARY AHUJA Times Reporter

Tradition was very important to Andrew Vaydo. Every summer, with all their family and friends, the Vaydos would take a summertime trip to Harrison. It was on one of those trips where Vaydo found a couple of plastic boats and quickly began polling everyone there to see which one they thought would float the furthest. “He was very traditional,” described his eldest sister, Leah Corvec. “Every year, we would have to do the same things and he loved riding the boat and getting out on the water.” It is fitting then that this Sunday (April 15), his family and friends will host the first annual Float Your Boat For A Cure at Derby Reach Regional Park. The event is a fundraiser in memory of Andrew, who passed away July 8, 2011 after a two-year battle with Lymphoma. Team Andrew Forever, made up of family and friends, is looking to raise $30,000 in the fight against

Lymphoma by raising funds and awareness for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. “Family and friends were important to him, he loved that sense of community,” Corvec said. “He was a great guy and is missed; we are just trying to do our bit and raise some money.” Sunday’s event runs from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For $5, people can purchase an environmentally-friendly biodegradable paper boat on which they can write their message of hope or remembrance for a cancer patient. The boats will float down the Fraser River. There will also be hot dogs, treats, face painting, a marshmallow roast, bouncy castle, children’s entertainment, music and more.

Family-friendly community gaining popularity

Tsawwassen a rising hot spot What is it about Tsawwassen that makes it so popular in the new home market right now? With the release of the second phase of Shato Holdings’ Tsawwassen Springs development late last year, the community formerly best known for the BC Ferry terminal is coming into its own. “Tsawwassen has always been a really nice area to raise a family,” says Ron Toigo, managing director of Shato Holdings. Toigo has been a long-time resident of Tsawwassen himself, and says he enjoys the proximity to Vancouver while still getting away from it all. “It’s half an hour from Vancouver, but

you could be 100 miles away,” he says. Tsawwassen Springs opened for sale earlier last year, and has been extremely popular with all types of homebuyers. Part of its appeal can be chalked up to the city, along with its stunning golf course and mountain views. “Tsawwassen is going to be one of the hot spots,” says George Wong, founder of Magnum Projects, which marketed Tsawwassen Springs’ second phase. “It’s an undiscovered jewel.” One thing that sets Tsawwassen apart is the construction of its developments, Wong says. “You don’t see high-rises and concrete towers. It’s a more pastoral community.”

Power Smart New Homes are a great investment by Kerry Vital

There’s a lot to think about when buying a new home, and energyefficiency isn’t necessarily tops on your list. However, BC Hydro has several reasons why it should be one of the first things you think about. Around since 2006, the BC Hydro Power Smart New Home program ensures that homes are more energyefficient, which will save you money in the long run. “These homes use 30 per cent less energy than an average home in today’s market,” says Kari Montrichard, Program Manager of Residential Marketing for BC Hydro. Homes in the program have an Energuide rating of 80 or higher, Montrichard says. “An Energuide rating is a performance-based building energy rating system developed and delivered by (Natural Resources Canada) and its licensed service organizations. The scale ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 is the least efficient and 100 is the most efficient,” she says, adding that a home’s performance is mainly based on thermal performance and how efficient the heating and cooling systems are. With energy costs expected to rise in the future, buying a Power Smart New Home is especially important because it will help homeowners save money. Montrichard cites three ways that a home in the program will benefit you in the long run. The first is saving on your mortgage insurance, as the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Mortgage Insurance will give you a 10 per cent refund if you buy a Power Smart New Home. The second is saving on your monthly bills, since your home will use less energy to accomplish the same tasks. The third is on the resale value of your home, especially when more and more buyers are concerned about the environment and looking for a green home. But is there anything you can do to your current home to make it more energy-efficient? Montrichard says yes. “There are low-cost improvements homeowners can make from draftproofing to replacing showerheads,” she says. “For deeper retrofits and improvements like replacing windows or adding insulation, we have partnered with the provincial government and

“

These homes use 30 per cent less energy than an average home in today’s market,” says Kari Montrichard, Program Manager of Residential Marketing for BC Hydro.

FortisBC to offer the Live Smart program. Homeowners can have a home energy audit to understand which retrofits will provide the best results, and they may qualify for incentives.” When you’re touring a potential home, there are a few things for you to look out for. Lighting accounts for about 16 per cent of the electricity consumption in a house, so the easiest way to increase your energy efficiency is to install compact fluorescent bulbs that include an Energy Star label. Home appliances are responsible for about 20 per cent of the energy used per day, so it’s a good idea to look for an ENERGY STAR label when purchasing new appliances as well. For example, BC Hydro states that refrigerators with that label are at least 20 per cent more energy-efficient than the minimum standard set by the federal government. This means they are better insulated, often more quiet and include more precise temperature settings and better defrost mechanisms. Meanwhile, a dishwasher with an ENERGY STAR label is at least 25 per cent more efficient and can save homeowners up to 20 per cent on water heating costs, BC Hydro says. Another big appliance in the home is a washing machine for clothing. An ENERGY STAR-labelled machine can reduce your overall energy consumption by up to 50 per cent, and uses 35 to 50 per cent less water than standard models. Up to one third of the heat inside the home can escape through windows, so BC Hydro recommends looking for ENERGY STAR-labelled windows that will keep the heat inside during the winter and the heat outside in the summer.

Buy a Power Smart home, save three ways Save now, and save later: not many homes can promise you that. But when you buy a home from a Power Smart New Home Builder youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll save money, including reduced mortgage insurance and lower monthly bills. An EnerGuide label is your assurance that the home is independently rated to be energy-efďŹ cient. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget, an energyefďŹ cient home is more comfortable too. Layout, amenities, and those much-promoted granite countertops. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to think about when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buying a new home. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one feature that can make a positive difference to your wallet when you purchase, and every month that you own your home. Choosing a Power Smart New Home gives home buyers an easy way to find a home that is designed and built to save energy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buying an energy-efficient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,â&#x20AC;? says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Power Smart New Home program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage. But many new homes are not built with energy efficiency in mind - so looking for the EnerGuide label is wise.â&#x20AC;? An EnerGuide rating is a standard measure of a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy performance, rated on a scale of 0 to 100. A rating of 0 represents a home with major air leakage, no insulation and extremely high energy consumption. A rating of 100 represents a house that is airtight, well insulated, sufficiently ventilated and requires no purchased energy. The first benefit youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find is on your mortgage insurance: Power Smart New Homes qualify for a 10 per cent refund on Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Mortgage

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Buying an energy-efďŹ cient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,â&#x20AC;? says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Power Smart New Home program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage.â&#x20AC;?

Insurance. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also save on your monthly bills. Homes that are rated EnerGuide 80 use at least 30 per cent less energy than an average new home. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money in your pocket every month â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially great when energy costs are only expected to rise. Buy a home with a rating higher than EnerGuide 80, and save even more. The third benefit is resale value; as energy costs rise and green building continues to gain popularity, a home that demonstrates its efficiency will likely hold its value as compared to one that is inefficient with high monthly operating costs. There are other benefits as well, Overholt says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Builders who are smart about energy efficiency are adopting improved building practices and making use of new technologies. Their homes are more comfortable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while using less energy overall. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to add energy efficiency later; you need to get it built in from the start.â&#x20AC;? The Power Smart New Home program gives you an easy way to find houses, townhomes, and condos that are designed to save energy. For more information and to find your energy efficient dream home, check out the full listing of Power Smart New Home Builders and featured developments at bchydro.com/pshomes.

NOT ALL NEW HOMES ARE BUILT WITH ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN MIND. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it pays to look for a Power Smart New Home Builder when shopping for your next home. Power Smart New Homes are independently rated EnerGuide 80 or higher, which means they use at least 30% less energy than an average new home. And since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re built the smart way, they stay cooler in the summer and cozier in the winterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all while saving you money for years to come.

Dealership shows off new digs 1 TO 2 BEDROOMS + DEN FROM 194,900 Tractors, hotdogs and balloons welcome guests to PrairieCoast Equipment grand opening The parking lot outside PrairieCoast Equipment was abuzz with chatter and smelling of barbecue as the John Deere dealer officially opened the doors to its new facility Tuesday. The store’s grand opening attracted corporate representatives from both PrairieCoast and John Deere as well as Township Councillor Grant Ward. Meanwhile, members of the Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Association were planted next to the store at 22661 Fraser Highway where they served hotdogs, pop and chips to customers in the parking lot. The charity will be there throughout the week, with all proceeds from the barbecue going to its own coffers. Although the store relocated last December, PrairieCoast

marketing manager Rick Zimmerman said the company wanted to ensure its employees could adjust to the new setting before hosting a grand opening celebration. “The biggest single challenge was just the logistics of keeping (the previous) store open and transitioning over to our new store,” he said. “It’s a big undertaking, but we’re really happy with the new facilities.” Zimmerman said there’s actually been an uptick in business over the last four months as a mix of established clients and new customers have come to check out the new location. PrairieCoast CEO Dennis Landis said finding the right building is always one of the company’s top concerns when opening a store. “Having the right

John Deere division sales manager Bob Jackson speaks at the official opening of PrairieCoast Equipment dealership’s new facility at 22661 Fraser Highway. staff is number one and having the right facility is such an important part of us being able to do business,” he said. Because land is more costly in Langley compared to rural locations, Landis said PrairieCoast decided to add a second floor dedicated to storage instead of buying more land to keep additional

merchandise. Furthermore, the new facility is wholly-owned by the company — not leased like the last store on the Langley Bypass was. Landis said the new store offers customers a nicer retail environment while maintaining strong and consistent service from staff.

Hot start to season for Blaze

Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times

Langley Blaze’s Nick Rutckyj connects with the pitch during the Blaze’s opening day doublheader sweep of the North Shore Twins at McLeod Park on Saturday. Rutckyj went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs in Langley’s 2-1 victory as the team is off to a 3-0 start to the season.

Ball season begins for Junior Blaze While their opponent may be familiar in the season opener, it will be a whole new team that takes the field this weekend for the start of the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League campaign. The Langley Junior (U16) Blaze went 41-7 in 2011 to win the regular season pennant

for the second straight year, but lost 3-1 in the provincial championship game to the North Delta Junior Blue Jays. And those two teams will kick off 2012 with a doubleheader on Saturday at McLeod Park. Games are at noon and 2:30 p.m. However, only two players

from last year’s Jr. Blaze are back as the core of the squad — five pitchers and seven positional players — have graduated to the Premier (U18) team. Mitchell Kennedy was dominant in 2011 as the righthanded pitcher was 14-1 with a 0.97 earned run average. He also struck out 61 batters in 94 innings. Offensively, the lone returnee is infielder Justin Lawrence, who hit .315 with 25 RBIs.

The Langley Blaze have had a red-hot start to the baseball season. The U18 Premier Baseball League club — which captured the 2011 provincial championship — is a perfect 3-0 to start to the season. Even more impressive, is the fact the team’s pitching staff and defence have allowed a combined one run over that span. The Blaze’s latest victory came on Tuesday night at McLeod Park as they blanked the White Tritons 4-0. Jon Bauer threw a no-hitter, scattering four walks and seven strikeouts over seven innings. Greg Rogers broke the scoreless tie with a two-run triple in the fifth inning, scoring Michael Dagg and Nick Rutckjy, The Blaze put the game away in the sixth when Preston Kokatailo’s triple scored Josh Wray. Kodatailo later scored on a wild pitch. Langley had opened the season with a doubleheader sweep on Saturday, 1-0 and 2-1 over the North Shore Twins.That was also at McLeod Park. In the first game, Bill Germaine scored the game’s only run on an RBI single from Wray. On the mound, Marc-Andrew Haber went the distance, scattering five hits over seven innings. Rutckyj took care of the offence in the second half of the doubleheader, finishing 3-for-4 with a solo home run in the third inning, and then a walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh, which brought home Dagg for the winning run. Justin Geerts allowed one unearned run on two hits in six and a third innings pitched, while Bauer came on for the final two outs. The Blaze hit the road for the first time this season as they head to Kelowna for a four-game series with the Okanagan Athletics (3-1).

CAR CARE & REPAIR Mazda2 defys vertical Wall of Death The Wall of Death is track like no other. It measures just 31-foot in diameter and is 85 years old. It’s made almost entirely of wood, and is redolent with the tang of oil, sweat and fear. Oh, and the track walls are completely vertical. The Mazda2 slowly edges up and away from the horizontal base of the Wall of Death and onto its upright walls. The right front and rear tires chirp, momentarily slip, and then grip as the driver’s side of Mazda2 rides up onto the edge. Behind the wheel, Dynomyte Dave guns the supermini’s punchy 102 hp 1.5-litre engine. With a burst of speed the Mazda2 ﬂies up onto the wall, all four wheels leaving the ﬂoor. Time to go vertical on the Demon Drome Wall of Death! The Demon Drome – the world’s oldest operating Wall of Death – was built in America in late 1927, at the height of popularity for these adrenalinfuelled vertical raceways, before being shipped over to Britain by Pat Collins Funfairs shortly after construction was completed. The bespoke wooden structure was then sold on and eventually ended up as an attraction in Skegness where it played to

audience until the early 1980s. It was revived by Cornwallbased Dynomyte Dave Seymour and his family who completely refurbished the historic wooden track. Dynomyte Dave, his son Duke and daughter Alabama look

completely at home circling the Demon Drome on their 1920s Indian Scout motorcycles. They make dealing with the 4g force that pools blood in their legs and gives them tunnel vision while hurtling around the wall look like an absolute doddle. They can ride their motorbikes onehanded, standing up, sidesaddle and even blindfolded. But a car is something entirely different. With Dynomyte Dave behind

the wheel – and his son Duke Seymour standing at the centre of the track to guide him – the Mazda2 begins a slow circle of the track, it’s right front and rear tires ﬂirting with the vertical wall. Dynomyte Dave feeds in more power and the Mazda2 begins to rocket around the base of the Demon Drome, two wheels on the vertical, two on the horizontal. The driver’s side of the car seems to cock its eye upwards and with another perfectly timed and aggressive burst of speed the Mazda2 suddenly launches itself up the vertical wall.
