Kinder Morgan Canada is seeking to twin its Trans-Mountain Pipeline between northern Alberta and Burnaby. This is the first of a three-part Black Press series looking at the logistics, risks and politics involved. Neil ENGLAND/photo

The Everest Spirit, an oil tanker the length of two and a half football fields, nudges slowly under the Second Narrows Bridge. In its bowels is enough crude oil to fill more than 30 Olympic swimming pools, loading it down so that it sits 13 metres deep in the water, close to the carefully prescribed maximum safe draft for the narrow, shallow channel. The ship is one of 32 tankers that last year loaded crude from Burnaby’s Westridge

terminal, the end of an 1,100-kilometre pipeline that runs from northern Alberta southwest across B.C. to the Pacific. But Kinder Morgan, which owns the Trans-Mountain pipeline, has big plans to turn the current trickle of oil through Vancouver’s harbour into a gusher. It is beginning the process this spring to twin the pipeline and increase its current 300,000-barrel-per-day capacity to as much as 850,000. Some would continue to flow to refineries in Burnaby and Washington State, and some is in the form of refined products. But export oil bound for tankers is

projected to soar from a current 80,000 barrels per day to 450,000 or more if the project proceeds. The number of tankers filling up in Burnaby could hit 288 in 2016, four times more than the record 69 crude tankers in 2010. That prospect has alarmed environmentalists who worry the risk of a catastrophic spill is increasing and say Metro Vancouverites never signed on to become Alberta’s oil port. “People are terrified about this,” said Georgia Strait Alliance executive director Christianne Wilhelmson.
“If an accident happens, we live here. We’re going to lose our orcas. We’re going to lose our salmon. We’re going to lose our businesses that rely on a pristine environment. “It’s simply not worth the risk.”
SPILL SAFEGUARDS The tankers move in the harbour with extensive safeguards. Tankers must be accompanied by three tugs from Westridge Terminal all the way to English Bay.

More, bigger ships coming Pipe to
expand through North Langley
from PAGE 1
There, tankers are unaccompanied southeast through the Strait of Georgia to Saturna Island, where they’re met again by Vancouver Island-based tugs that accompany them through Boundary Pass and Haro Strait until they pass Race Rocks and reach the wider waters of Juan de Fuca Strait between Victoria and Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. Agencies on both sides of the border watch for any deviation from the defined shipping lane, which largely follows the international boundary. And a U.S. rescue tug based out of Neah Bay can scramble if any ship loses power and drifts towards rocks or shoreline. The tankers must sail with two pilots — highly trained experts on local waters — in addition to the ship’s captain and navigation officer. The pilots command the vessel and don’t depend on the ship’s instruments — bringing their own laptops for GPS navigation and charting. One monitors instruments and calls out any deviations from the precision course through the Second Narrows, while the other actually steers and monitors other conditions, such as wind and current. If one of the tugs failed, the other two — or even just one larger tug — could control the tanker and tow it to safe anchorage, says Pacific Pilotage Authority president and CEO Kevin Obermeyer. “It really is overkill,� he said. “But it’s overkill for a good reason.� Other regulations also apply. Tankers only move in daylight with a minimum of one mile visibility, at a maximum of six knots, and only pass through the Second Narrows at slack tide. And loaded tankers have the channel to themselves — all other ships must wait — all but eliminating the risk of collision. “The tankers are probably the most protected species out

there,� Obermeyer said. Some of the rules stem from an incident in 1978 when the freighter Japan Erica hit the Second Narrows railway bridge in heavy fog. Pilots train for disaster using simulators, but the pilotage authority has also staged live harbour tests to verify that tugs can indeed control an errant tanker with an engine or rudder failure. Unlike the single-hulled Exxon Valdez, which spilled more than 230,000 barrels off Alaska in 1989, all tankers loading here must be double-hulled. That’s no panacea — doublehulled tankers have also breached and spilled — but it’s another improvement shipping defenders point to as evidence the times have changed. Indeed, through most of B.C.’s century-long history of safely
moving oil on water, tankers did not have the benefit of tugs, pilots or modern navigational aids like GPS. That trend is borne out in worldwide tanker accident statistics, which show spills in the 2000s released about a quarter as much oil as they did in the two previous decades and about one twelfth as much as the 1970s. “I would say it’s extremely safe,� Obermeyer said. “Can I say we would never have an accident? No, I can’t say that.�
BIGGER, DEEPER So far, the largest tankers loading at Westridge are Afraxmax class tankers like the Everest Spirit, which have a maximum capacity of 650,000 barrels. In practice, they have been loaded to no more than 80 per cent full due to the draft limit
— how deep they can sit in the water without coming too close to the seabed in the Second Narrows. Previously, tankers were allowed to load to 12.5 metres, but in 2010 the Pacific Pilotage Authority increased the draft limit to 13.5 metres. Ships haven’t yet loaded to that full depth — they’ve held back at around 13 metres to date — but they’re expected to start going all the way later this spring, allowing more oil to be carried. Still bigger ships may come if Kinder Morgan twins the pipeline. The company has indicated it may seek permission to use giant Suezmax tankers that carry up to one million barrels – half again as much as Aframax tankers. continued, PAGE 5

Last Thursday’s announcement that Kinder Morgan is planning to greatly expand the capacity of the Trans-Mountain oil pipeline will have a significant impact on Langley. The pipeline, which began operation in 1953, ships both crude oil and refined products from Edmonton to Burnaby. Some of its contents are shipped south of the border through a branch in Abbotsford that goes to the U.S. Its main line goes through north Langley, roughly in the area of Highway 1. The Times has been unable to obtain exact details of its route, with the Township saying it does not have that information. One location where it is known to pass through Langley is in Walnut Grove. A walkway has been built over the pipeline, west of 208 Street, just north of 90 Avenue. The pipeline curves through much of urban Walnut Grove. Most of the rest of its route in Langley meanders through rural properties. If the pipeline expansion is approved, there will be major construction all along the route. It is possible that additional pipeline capacity in the Walnut Grove area will be built along a different route, as Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson has said the pipeline expansion may have to follow new routes in urban areas.

In 1993, Langley Township adopted the Rural Plan. It was considered a breakthrough document because, compared to other land use plans, the Rural Plan was far more responsive to agricultural issues. It was considered extremely innovative because its goals and objectives were far more comprehensive than any other official planning document applied to the Agricultural Land Reserve up to that time. Its primary goal, the document noted “is to enhance agricultural viability through protection of agricultural land, preservation of larger lot sizes and creation of policies to encourage the agricultural industry.” Councillor Steve Ferguson was a member of council when the Rural Plan was adopted, and on Monday he called for its review. His comment centered on an application from Arnold and Joan Turner to divide 24.29 acres at 22483 96 Ave. into five lots ranging in size from 4.2 acres to 7.49 acres. “I was one of the architects of the Rural Plan,” Ferguson said, acknowledging that “it is not without its flaws.” He said he was concerned
about breaking up the land into five parcels, and wanted the issue and council’s policy, as laid out in the Rural Plan, referred to the municipality’s Agricultural Advisory Committee. Administrator Mark Bakken questioned the wisdom of a council referring to the committee an item of established council policy and bylaw, to which Ferguson responded by saying that “the time has come for us to review the Rural Plan.” The motion to send the application to the ALC died on a tie vote, with Ferguson and Councillors Michelle Sparrow, David Davis and Kim Richter opposed. Mayor Jack Froese and Councillors Charlie Fox, Bob Long and Bev Dornan supported it. Grant Ward, a generally prodevelopment councillor, was absent. The application requires Agricultural Land Commission approval. Based on the fact that the request complies with the minimum lot size requirements of the Small Farms/Country Estates designation in the Rural Plan and the Township Zoning Bylaw, staff recommended support for breaking up the land. Councillor Bob Long agreed that it was inappropriate to pass
the issue to the committee, but Richter said that by passing the application on to the ALC, it suggests that council supports it. Staff recommended that council back the application to the ALC on the grounds that it complied not only with ALR requirements, but also the Township’s Rural Plan and zoning bylaw. An earlier application was turned down, Councillor Bev Dornan noted, adding that “the ALC can make its own decision if it wants it subdivided or not.” The ALC denied the application in 2008 because it was inconsistent with its objective of preserving agricultural land. A supporting letter from Bell & Giuriato, engineers and planners, said that the Turners had searched for available agricultural use for their property since they bought it in 2004. “They ran a small equestrian operation for a while but it was found to be unfeasible due to the challenging topography, predominant wetlands and high cost/low return of the equestrian industry in general,” Glenn Bell wrote. The Turners investigated other possibilities, including a farmers’ market, greenhouses, fur farm and kennels, all of which did not comply with the ALR or the Rural Plan. For the past 40 years, Bell said, the farm has been used for grazing and as a hayfield.

The Second Narrows would have to be dredged deeper to accommodate them and shipping authorities say all the other tanker safety requirements would have to be reviewed and possibly strengthened. Dredging would be targeted at the edges of the channel —not actually increasing its maximum depth — and would be subject to an environmental review, according to Port Metro Vancouver harbour master Yoss Leclerc. “We’re not talking about huge dredging volumes,” he said.“We are used to dredging in the river.This is nothing comparable to that.” Nor is it a certainty Suezmax tankers will come if Kinder Morgan twins its pipe. “They could do it with the Aframax,” Leclerc said. “The twinning doesn’t necessarily mean bigger ships are coming here.” Switching to the bigger capacity of Suezmax would be more efficient, cutting a shipper’s cost by about $1.50 a barrel. They’re also preferable for voyages to Asia, rather than California, the destination of most of Vancouver’s exported oil so far. A former tanker captain himself, Leclerc says there are plenty of waterways in the world that are narrower but heavily used by tankers. Gibraltar sees more tankers each day than the Second Narrows does in a year, he said. “What we have here is really the leading edge in terms of safety and security,” Leclerc said.

Risks not limited to harbours
Crude oil tanker visits
BEYOND THE HARBOUR There are other potential danger points along the tanker route. A Pacific States/British Columbia Oil Spill Task Force report in 2011 said there are risks associated with anchorages in the Gulf Islands where tankers might hole up during a storm. It notes a bulk carrier in 2009 dragged anchor in high winds and was blown onto a rocky reef near Mayne Island. “No oil was spilled, but the risk was high,” the report said. Capital Regional District director Mike Hicks argues there’s a serious risk of a collision at the western entrance to Juan de Fuca Strait, where ships converge in a narrower lane and local pilots are not required. He says any spill there would be disastrous to Swiftsure Bank, an area rich in sea life. The task force report says much has been done to reduce oil spill risks by authorities on both sides of the border. But it says more is still required to improve international coordination of spill responses. B.C. Chamber of Commerce president John Winter said he’s seen nothing yet to justify opposing Kinder Morgan’s plan for expanded oil exports. “The track record is excellent,” he said. “Most of the people opposed to it never knew there was tanker traffic in the first place. “There’s risk in doing everything. If measures are put in place to minimize those risks to the extent possible I would think the review bodies will have no choice but to approve it.” Environmental groups are not convinced, arguing the much greater number of tankers — potentially much bigger ones running deeper in the water than ever before — exposes the B.C. coast to much more danger. “They’re increasing the risk dramatically,” said Wilhelmson of the Georgia Strait Alliance. Nor is there comfort that B.C.’s tanker shipments have been safe to date. “They’ve been lucky,” she said. “So far they haven’t had a spill. We’re overdue.”

However, he added,“by removing previously approved funding sources we are only creating instability in the entire system.” Froese confirmed that he has been talking to Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman about the possibility and feasibility of forging closer ties. “It’s something that doesn’t hurt looking at,” Froese said. “We have to do due diligence,” he said, adding that the Township needs to examine whether it should be linked with the Fraser Valley Regional District, or form a tie with Abbotsford. “It’s worth looking at,” he said.

The Township of Langley should seriously consider pulling out of Metro Vancouver Regional District and TransLink, and think about closer ties with Abbotsford, Mayor Jack Froese said on Wednesday. Froese’s comment came after TransLink announced it would postpone expansion plans south of the Fraser River, sounding, for now, the death knell of a rapid bus service from the new park and ride at 200 Street and 86 Avenue to the Lougheed SkyTrain station. (See separate story, page 19). When the news was announced, Froese said that it confirmed the Township’s worse fears. “I am extremely disappointed,” Froese said. “The Mayors’ Council has done an about-face from what they
voted for last year,” Froese said. “Langley Township and other communities on this side of the river support TransLink by paying for services that benefit all other areas of the Lower Mainland. But when it comes to our turn, we have the rug pulled out from under us.” Froese, a member of the newly-formed South of the Fraser Mayors’ Committee, which is working to obtain the transportation infrastructure needed by its member municipalities to focus attention on the area’s unique transportation needs, was one of three mayors from south of the Fraser River to oppose the vote. “My next move is to convince my colleagues on the Mayors’ Council that this infrastructure is badly needed south of the Fraser and that they reconsider,” he said. “We have serious needs that

Kelsey emphasized that TransLink is well-run, noting that Time magazine said after the 2010 Winter Olympics that the system was “scarily efficient.” Kelsey acknowledged that bus service in Langley isn’t up to the levels enjoyed in other parts of the region. “We all know the south of the Fraser region is not being served the way it should be,” he said in his opening remarks.

TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis wasn’t prepared to discuss whether Langley gives more to the regional transportation authority than it gets, when he took questions at Tuesday’s Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce meeting. Guest speaker was TransLink chief operating officer Doug Kelsey, but Jarvis also attended, in part because TransLink has been under intense scrutiny in recent weeks. He had also said earlier Tuesday that a planned rapid bus service from Langley to Lougheed station was being put on hold temporarily. The CEO was asked if Langley taxpayers received a level of service in proportion to the taxes they pay for TransLink. He replied that he didn’t want to get into that aspect of TransLink’s service. “That’s a bit of a rabbit hole you go down,”
he said. Jarvis emphasized that TransLink is a regional agency and needs to take a regional perspective in all its decisions.

WE SAY
THEY SAY
An exit strategy
A man of the community
O
n Tuesday, it was confirmed that there will be no rapid buses from Langley’s new park and ride to the Lougheed SkyTrain station — at least for now. TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis said the planned bus service expansion is on hold, as TransLink has been ordered to find cost savings, is undergoing a provincial audit, and the Mayors’ Council has rescinded earlier approval for a property tax increase to fund expansion of bus service south of the Fraser. This is the latest and perhaps most disheartening blow to South Fraser residents, who are already upset about tolls. Within a year, all who use the Port Mann Bridge will be paying tolls. The Golden Ears Bridge will be an alternative, but it too is tolled. Those who want to drive along the South Fraser Perimeter Road from 176 Street west and get a free crossing via the Pattullo Bridge are welcome to do so, but heavy congestion is almost a certainty. Now comes word that there may not be a transit alternative. This is a body blow to Langley and Surrey, in particular residents in the northern half of the two municipalities. Many people live there so they are within easy range of the Port Mann. Now they have been told to expect to pay $120 a month in tolls, and not to take transit, because there won’t be a service for them to use. All this comes as finishing work continues on the giant park and ride lot on 86 Avenue. This parking lot includes an underpass to allow buses to easily access both sides of the freeway. It has been built at substantial expense, with the provincial and federal governments providing much of the money. Langley’s MP, MLAs and mayors must rise to protest the complete snubbing of this community, and disregard for taxpayers’ dollars already spent to provide this park and ride lot — and a bus-only lane on the new bridge. The entire issue shows just how out of touch TransLink is with those south of the Fraser, who provide it with significant tax revenues. Jarvis said TransLink’s first priority is to keep existing services operating. This means it is more important to run mostly-empty buses in Burnaby at 11 p.m. than to run buses from Langley to the Lougheed SkyTrain station during rush hour. If this decision is not reversed quickly, South Fraser leaders must begin planning an exit from TransLink.

om Foord was a businessman like no other. He took a tiny shop in Vernon in 1953 and turned Kal Tire into Canada’s largest independent tire retailer. With 4,000 employees, the company has a presence across Canada, as well as in Africa, Britain, South America and Australia. Such a transformation in itself is impressive, but what made Foord stand out was his commitment to the community. The Saskatchewan native moved to Vernon in 1943 and it quickly became a source of pride. “Vernon has always had a special place in my heart,” he said in a 2007 interview. And that passion was demonstrated in many ways, including keeping Kal Tire’s head office here although it may have made more business sense to relocate as the company’s activities grew. Foord also made sure he gave back to the community that had supported his endeavours. He was a driving force behind development of the People Place and the North Okanagan Neurological Association’s child development centre. He was also a strong advocate for the United Way, Hospice House, Vernon Jubilee Hospital, the North Okanagan Community Life Society and many other charities. It should be pointed out that Foord’s philanthropy was a partnership. His wife Norah was also active in the community and was always there for those in need. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Foord family and everyone at Kal Tire as they mourn the passing of Tom, who died Thursday, and Norah, who died Feb. 25. But while they are gone, their passion for the community and the people who call it home is a legacy that will live on forever. —Vernon Morning Star (Black Press) The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Township should cut some slack Editor: I am most upset by the lack of courtesy from a parking enforcement employee from the Township of Langley, during a recent shopping trip in my home of Fort Langley. I am concerned by the opportunistic nature the Township is taking to write parking tickets during the closure of a main parking facility for many local businesses in Fort Langley.They have been harmed for well over a month by the upgrading of this parking lot. We have learned that the parking lot upgrade has caused a dramatic decrease in sales for these stores and has hampered their ability to stay open. I understand the landlord of the parking lot in question has also not offered any concessions to the tenants for the lengthy closure. As a resident of Fort Langley, and future business owner here, it is frustrating that the
Township is not being lenient or offering an alternative (such as temporarily allowing 10to 30-minute parking). I have been supporting these businesses during their hardship in the many weeks they have been suffering, and would hope that the Township could do the same. On Saturday, April 14 at approximately 3:45 p.m., I pulled up behind a parked Township of Langley pick-up truck on the opposite side of Church Street to make a stop into the liquor store in preparation for a gathering of friends and family at home. As I began to walk across the street, the officer in uniform, who appeared to be chitchatting idly, during a lengthy unscheduled break, called me over and rudely stated “Come here, or you could keep walking and I’ll just write you a ticket.” I was confused as to why he would have
said that. As I walked over and questioned what he was talking about, he was discourteous in telling me I could not park behind him and that there is no parking on that entire side of the street. He pointed to a sign that was obstructed by his work vehicle. Yet as I scanned the street, there were at least eight other vehicles parked on that side of the street. I wonder how many residents of Fort Langley who are also supporting their local businesses are receiving tickets and being treated rudely. In these tougher than usual economic times, it would seem to be common sense for the Township to have a bit of leeway and support the businesses that are paying taxes, while struggling to survive in a less-thanideal situation. Amanda Schaffner, Fort Langley
Start funding public education properly Editor: I am writing in response to your April 12 article on Education Minister George Abbott’s visit to Langley schools, in which he appears to be showering the district with money for new school construction. Once again, the media is being used as free advertising in the government’s attempt to prove to the public that it cares about the public education system and how it is funded. I find myself irritated with what plainly seems like a photo opportunity. In 2002, the Liberals removed $275 million from the education budget, and have done so every year
have to make continued deep cuts to valuable programs to make up this shortfall. Kids who need special services — think ESL, speech therapy, counseling, and help with math — will have an even harder time accessing these resources. They cannot be offered based on the needs of the child. Lack of funding means that we compete for these services with others who need them. This government needs to stop congratulating itself, and start properly funding public education. G. Myles, Langley
since in order to fund their corporate tax cuts. This amounts to more than $3.3 billion removed from public education (in today’s dollars) in the last decade. This year, things are even worse. When the new budget came out, the Liberals announced that the education budget is frozen for next year. Unfortunately, inflation is not frozen and the system requires more than $130 million just to keep up with inflation. The so-called Learning Improvement Fund offers $30 million. School boards are going to have to make tough decisions, and school districts will
MUNICIPAL ELECTION
LTA offered assistance to all candidates Editor: As president of the Langley Teachers’ Association, I continue to receive e-mails and questions regarding if, and how much, of our members’ union dues, were donated to individual candidates running for a position on the Langley Board of Education in November, 2011. No funds were given directly to any candidate. Services ‘in kind’ were voted on by LTA members and offered as a service to the community, as well as teachers and candidates. The LTA offered all candidates the opportunity to send in their picture, biography, answer questions focused on public education and have their information printed in our newspaper, the local.link. All candidates took advantage of this opportunity. Copies were provided to all LTA members The
as usual and, as we always do for a local election, copies were mailed to all other BCTF members living and voting in Langley, who are not teaching in Langley. For those seven candidates endorsed to our members, we did include their flyers, if provided. We did organize, advertise and publicize an all-candidates forum at Brookswood Secondary. All candidates, except Candy Ashdown (for family reasons), attended and it was a beneficial evening of exchanging information. In addition, the LTA initiated an automated, recorded call-out for all BCTF members voting in Langley Township or Langley City. In this call-out, members were encouraged to vote, and were reminded of the names of the LTA-endorsed candidates in each area. The mention of our endorsed candi-
dates in this call-out, was the only action that the LTA undertook that could be seen as benefitting only the LTA-endorsed candidates. The local.link, and the candidates forum were clearly beneficial to all candidates running for office and yet, the DPAC’s forum was not charged to candidates as an in-kind donation, in the same manner as the LTA’s was included. To set the record straight, we believe all candidates benefited from the actions, events and publications of the LTA. If these expenses needed to be claimed, they should have been claimed by all candidates. Gail Chaddock-Costello, president, Langley Teachers’ Association
METRO CLOSED LAKE Editor: I am writing to correct some inaccuracies in Heather Watt’s recent letter to the editor (The Times, April 5) concerning trails for Aldergrove and Campbell Valley parks. The Township of Langley council was asked to finance an engineering report in order to finish the South Langley Regional Trail that was approved many years ago. Currently this trail is in place from Campbell Valley Park to 256 Street. The section that needs to be completed is from 256 Street to Aldergrove Lake Park. Campbell Valley Park and Aldergrove Lake Park both fall under the jurisdiction of Metro Vancouver Parks and not under the budget of the Township. The trails in these parks are already in place, well used by pedestrians, dog-walkers, joggers, cyclists and equestrians. The closing of the swimming pool in Aldergrove Lake Park was a Metro Vancouver Parks decision and not related to the TOL budget process. The reason to connect these two parks through the Township of Langley on the South Langley Regional Trail is to provide these same walkers, joggers, cyclists and equestrians with a recreational network in our community that enhances an active and healthy outdoor lifestyle. I would also like to add that the local equestrian community will be working to defray some of the construction costs, both through funding and volunteer work. This same vibrant equestrian community, located in the Horse Capital of B.C., brings over $100 million of economic value to this community. Susan Chaworth-Musters, executive and past president, Vintage Riders Equestrian Club, Langley

Players and spectators will have more opportunity for “the beautiful game” now that Township council has voted to fully support completing a synthetic turf field at Aldergrove Athletic Park. Once it is complete, hundreds of players from organized teams as well as Aldergrove Community Secondary and Betty Gilbert Middle School will have yearround access to soccer fields in that community.
was advised, is typically required every 12 years. Bandenieks said that Aldergrove Soccer would like the turf field finished now, while contractors are on the site converting an all-weather gravel field. The proposed project is to expand this to a fullsize regulation synthetic turf field. When finished, soccer players won’t have to travel out of Aldergrove. Many currently play at Brown Road Park where the fields are unavailable during the winter, Bandenieks said. It also means a better
playing surface. Bandenieks told council that older boys play soccer on gravel surfaces, and “soccer and gravel don’t mix.” Furthermore, he said, Aldergrove currently has no synthetic fields and none that are lit. “All we are interested in is accommodating all our players’ needs now and in the future,” Bandenieks said. Mayor Jack Froese and Councillor Charlie Fox lauded the creative way that Aldergrove Soccer had come up with money for the pitch and its eventual replacement.

The organization has already raised $135,000 from donations, and council agreed to loan the balance which will be repaid over five years.

Invitations to compete have been distributed to fire fighters and police officers throughout the region, and the response has been good, McRoberts said. “The competitions are based on the essential tasks of fire fighting and policing and are timed obstacle courses which competitors race on to see who is the fastest,” she added. “FireFit will be donating our services to put on this regional competition of the FireFit and TopCop Championships.

ognized event in its 19th year in Canada, fourth year in the Middle East, with Africa and Brazil on the horizon.” All monies raised from the event will go towards the building of the second turf pitch in Aldergrove. “The significant cost savings of putting in this second turf pitch now is what is driving the soccer community here in Aldergrove to pull out all the stops to make it happen.” “We have almost 1,000 soccer players between youth and senior club ages playing soccer in Aldergrove plus the new artificial pitches will benefit both the middle and senior secondary schools.This is a win-win project for the community,” said McRoberts.

Tax increases enhance public safety NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
The unexpected cost of a pay increase for RCMP officers, contained in the new RCMP contract municipalities are signing, will mean a further burden of $35,000 to $40,000 on Township taxpayers. On top of that, ratepayers will foot the bill for the hiring of another police officer, and on Monday, as council approved the budget for this year, Mayor Jack Froese defended the expenses. “We are growing 2,000 people a year,” he said in support of the hiring. The cost has minimal impact on the budget “and I would hate to have it removed,” Froese said. The hit may not be as severe as it sounds. Councillor Charlie Fox
pointed out that when an officer leaves the detachment, the position is not always immediately filled, and therefore the salary is saved. The discussion came as council considered first, second and third reading of the five-year financial plan, which includes this year’s budget. The budget boosts taxes by 2.95 per cent and, Froese said, places heavy emphasis on enhancing public safety by allocating money for the extra officer and converting Murrayville Fire Hall to a facility that is staffed around the clock. “The public has made it clear that this is a matter that is very important to them,” he said. Of the 2.95 per cent, 1.75 is to cover additional expenses, 0.5 per cent for the additional officer, and 0.7 per cent to add eight full-time
firefighters. This latter element is to meet a WorkSafe BC requirement that no fewer than four firefighters can be deployed to a structure fire. The impact of the budget on the owners of a single family home with an averaged assessed value of $483,000 will be $105 more, to $2,543, and includes levies for water, sewer, garbage and recycling services. For the owners of a house with the same value but not receiving these services, taxes will rise by $43, bringing the total municipal tax bill to $1,490. Levies for other agencies, such as the Langley School District and TransLink, will push that total higher. The bylaw’s first three readings passed without opposition. Council will consider final reading on April 23.

Hoses defeat guns at hockey event MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Hoses beat out guns at a friendly hockey game between Langley RCMP and firefighters on Friday night, April 6 at the Langley Events Centre that raised money for Cops for Cancer. “We’re really not focusing on who won and who lost. The real winners are the kids,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Craig van Herk, whose Mounties were on the losing end. Van Herk has been involved, both as a rider and now as an organizer of the local Cops for Cancer Tour as chair of the regional committee and will be on the support team for the tour. Around $5,000 was raised from the evening that saw
face painting and other fun events going on at the same time as the game. Cops for Cancer raises money to help children with cancer. Van Herk has been involved for years, and he said it’s hard not to be. “Once you meet one of these kids with cancer and you meet so many families, and see how impacted they are, you want to be part of helping,” said van Herk. Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese came out and donated $50 for every goal scored in the game. “The score was nine to six, so he had to pay out $750 from his own pocket.That was very generous,” said van Herk. Hardest shot was recorded at 135 km/hr. There was also a shootout.

Robin: ‘learn about real farming and animals, not Farmville’

t’s hard to believe, I know, but there are kids in Langley who really think that eggs are hatched in Safeway and that milk comes from a plastic jug. Even more shocking, there are children growing up in the Horse Capital of B.C. who have never met a horse. A Langley kid who has never petted a pony is like a young Quebecker who hasn’t tasted poutine. The Langley Horse and Farm Federation is determined to make things right. On Saturday, April 28, the Langley Horse and Farm Federation and B.C. Farm Machinery and Agricultural Museum invite Langley families to a Horse and Agriculture Education Session between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Admission for this event is by donation to the Museum, located at 9131 King Street in Fort Langley . “We are aiming this event at the non-horse and non-agricultural

ANNE PATTERSON communities, especially children and families. It’s time for kids to stop watching tv and sitting in front of a computer screen and to get out there and learn about real farming and animals, not Farmville. Kids can come to the museum and connect with real horses, real goats, real farmers and some incredible agricultural artifacts,” said Carla Robin. There will be baby goats, and a horse shoeing demonstration. Kids will be able to cuddle miniature horses, or watch a team of massive Belgian draft horses, a giant breed that played an important role in developing farmland. There will also be lots of goodies they can take home and games to play. The LHAFF received a community grant from the Township
of Langley to organize the event to encourage the community as a whole to learn about and appreciate the importance of agriculture in Langley and the importance of Langley’s ag industry to the region. “In addition to plowing and field work, horses provided much needed transportation. Come and see the many different carriages, buggies, carts and wagons that we have on display – all pulled by horses,” said Syd Pickerell, president of the B.C. Farm Machinery and Agricultural Museum Association. The LHAFF last year launched the popular “Pony Comes to School” program in Langley elementary schools to rave reviews at home and recognition in international magazines. Carla also wants to change the elitist image of the horse community, and to showcase the many ways kids and adults

can enjoy horses. “People seem to think that everyone who has horses is rich and privileged, but that’s because they hear about the top 10 per cnt of the industry, which is mainly the hunters and show jumpers. The other 90 per cent of the horse community includes pleasure riders, trail riders, breeders, riding schools, Pony Clubs, therapeutic riding and other disciplines such as western, dressage, eventing, vaulting, driving and more.” Carla believes that horses are one component of a way of life that many Langley residents can enjoy, whether they live in subdivisions or on acreages. “The country roads, trails, and farmland in Langley provide a social benefit that has incredible value. As for the horses, well, what can I say, they are priceless.” Anne Patterson is a Langley writer and horse owner. Contact her at accidentalrider@ yahoo.com.

Now that the weather is improving and you have turned your attention outdoors, you may have noticed that while you were sleeping and ignoring your lawn this winter, moss was growing and mixing with precious blades of grass. Last year’s patch of perfect green is now spoiled by mosses that threaten to take over. You have probably invested a lot of time and a good deal of money growing a fine crop of unsullied grass, the object of much pride and pleasing comments from admiring neighbours. Now, all that is ruined by moss. It’s like discovering your prized dog, alumni of all the best puppy schools, eating your neighbour’s garbage in the early hours of collection day. In horror, you scramble outside in your housecoat and socks hoping to retrieve the puppy before he is recognized, just as your neighbour opens his door and rushes out with a broom. So, how do you deal with the moss? The answer is near at hand, it is inescapable. Every garden and home improvement centre and big box retail outlet has large signs instructing and
commanding you to “Kill Moss”. Even if these signs don’t immediately convince you to stop and pick up a couple gallons of liquid moss death or a bag of fertilizer fortified with moss killer, you’ll be back. On returning home, the first thing you’ll do is inspect your lawn. You will find moss. And not just any old moss. You will find unsightly moss, damaging moss, horrible moss that if left unchecked will cause something unspeakably horrific. No one tells you what, exactly. They don’t even tell you why moss is bad. It doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you need to fear it and kill it. Manufacturers and retailers won’t tell you that dumping a bunch of poison on it won’t do much good. Beware of the thrill of killing moss, of reaping revenge on that aggressive destroyer of a proper suburban aesthetic. It will be short-lived. To truly rid your lawn of this green scourge, you have to remove the conditions in which it thrives, primarily moisture and shade. This might involve pruning shrubs and trees to increase sunlight and air flow, aerating the lawn, applying sand to aid drainage, applying dolo-
mite lime to counter soil acidity, and over-seeding. The bad news is that you may have to engage that enemy of modern life, that almost buried and forgotten relict of a past age: patience. For those who don’t discard this paper at such a dreadful thought, I offer you an irresistible alternative: embrace moss. Give it a little space. Sure, encourage grass in those bright, open central areas, but let moss thrive in the shady fringes of your yard’s grassy bosom. Then call up your friends, offer them all refreshments and magnifying glasses and show them the intricate and beautiful world of the mosses. Remember to ply them with plenty of refreshments first or you will simply end up with fewer friends. Next, work on your neighbours. Soon, mosses will be accepted as diverse, exquisitely adapted plants that can be used to great effect in every garden, and every lawn, too.

avid Suzuki has resigned as a director of his namesake foundation so it won’t be the target of federal government “attacks.” This news is conveyed to me in a Globe and Mail report that is typically tilted in deference to “Canada’s most famous environmentalist.” The usual assumptions are woven in: Suzuki is a saint. His every utterance is treated as scientific fact, even when it’s a left-wing political rant. The Conservative government is a front for Big Oil that has “attacked” environmental groups by reminding them that political activities are not eligible for charitable tax exemptions. In recent years, the David Suzuki Foundation’s campaign focus has been noticeably in step with the large U.S. foundations that fund most of B.C.’s enviro-

scare industry: first salmon farming and now the Alberta “tar sands” in all its exaggerated horror. Suzuki’s personal activities aren’t easily distinguished from those of his foundation, as was illustrated with his recent CBC documentary that demonized the “tar sands.” Diseased fish were displayed, but natural contamination of the Athabasca River was glossed over. Aboriginal objections were highlighted, while local support and economic benefits were overlooked. This isn’t science or charity. It’s tabloid journalism. Sensationalize, ignore facts that weaken the drama, play to people’s emotions. And he expects to be subsidized by the CBC and charitable tax exemptions as well?

is locally sourced, but no points for using wood instead.That’s because the long campaign by major environmental groups has devolved to “logging is bad.” Here’s the latest example. Greenpeace, ForestEthics and the Sierra Club were bankrolled by U.S. foundations to negotiate with the B.C. government, aboriginal people and forest companies for the 2006 “Great Bear Rainforest” agreement on the B.C. coast. Economic opportunity was delicately balanced against preservation, and First Nations gained new control of forests. Now the big enviros have begun campaigning against their own deal. As much as 50 per cent could still be logged, they say. It seems this particular green peace is bad for their business.

Tattoo parlour bylaw prevents business from moving to Township TYLER ORTON Times Reporter
Tattoo artist James Walther says it‘s time for the Township of Langley to rethink some of its zoning rules. The owner of Pro Pain Ink wants to move his eight-year-old business from Surrey to Brookswood. However, tattoo shops do not fall under the commercial use provisions of Township’s bylaws. “If I wanted to open a massage parlour and sell drug paraphernalia, I wouldn’t have a problem,” Walther said. “They (Township) don’t have a problem with that, but they have a problem with a tattoo shop? It boggles my mind.” He’s been speaking to councillors about this issue the last few weeks and even addressed Township council April 2 in an effort to get the bylaw changed. “If the community is solidly behind this idea, I have no problem supporting it,” Councillor Kim Richter says, “but I really need to see significant community support for it.” She said depending on whether or not this is considered a policy bylaw or one that requires a public hearing,Walther is looking at anywhere between one month to a year before the zoning definition is changed to accommodate tattoo shops. Walther also needs to make a strong business case to show he can support a tattoo shop in Brookswood, according to Richter. Although she asked him during his address to council if he considered opening a shop in the City of Langley where tattoo parlours are permitted, Walther said he’s determined to move the business to Brookswood. This would allow him to walk six blocks to work, be closer to his kids while they’re at school and save $100 a month on gas. He says the owner of Riders Pub in Brookswood told him he could use an adjoining space at the bar to establish a new shop. Medical marijuana dispensaries, pawnbrokers and casino halls are also banned from commercial use under Township zoning bylaws. “In 1987 when they made (the bylaw), I understand that a little bit,”Walther says, adding many residents likely felt uncomfortable with the types of people who would go to a tattoo shop back then. But he said things have
changed a lot in the last 25 years. “Now it’s everybody. Dads, grandmas, doctors, lawyers, police officers — everybody has a tattoo pretty much.”
He points to the West Coast Tattoo and Culture Show held at the Langley Events Centre in 2010 as a perfect example of how the community has mostly come to accept
the practice. Walther said he will continue to reach out to the community for support — he managed to collect about 150 signatures for a petition he pre-
sented to council — and is also taking his cause to the Brookswood Village Merchants Association. “Plus all my regulars, they would go wherever I am,” he said “That’s the
other thing, too. It would bring in a lot of outside business into Brookswood.” Furthermore, Walther said there are a number of patrons at Riders Pub
who’ve told him they’re ready to get inked as soon as he sets up shop. Walther said anyone wishing to support him can sign a petition at Riders Pub.

Class size no longer capped MONIQUE TAMMINGA
9EEARS ARS OFF 3EERVING RVING THHE E #OOMMUNITY MMUNITY
Times Reporter
The B.C. Liberal government’s Bill 22 could save the Langley School District hundreds of thousands of dollars, with a change of policy regarding class sizes. District-wide class size averages are no longer required under the new education bill, said acting superintendent Suzanne Hoffman. At Tuesday’s Board of Education meeting, she provided an overview of Bill 22 (the Education Improvement Act), which includes class size and compensation. “Class size will be 30 and we will strive not to exceed that,” said Hoffman.
But for those classes that will have more than 30, the teacher will be compensated financially as well as with prep time, equipment and other options. Before this bill was adopted, school districts were required to maintain a class size average. “This was so hard to predict, with parts of Langley growing and others not. “We had to put in teachers into schools at the last minute. “The influx of a family of five coming into a school would affect the average and we would have to add a teacher,” said Hoffman. Last year, the district had to add seven or eight teachers to get to the district’s required classroom average, said David
Green, school district secretarytreasurer. “That was a cost of between $630,000 to $720,000,” Green said. Langley is expected to get $1.93 million from the government’s $30 million Learning Improvement Fund. Much consultation has to go on with principals, teachers and the Langley Teachers Association to find out each school’s needs, said Hoffman. Bill 22 has set aside money for classrooms with needs. “Needs could be for special needs or it can be for ESL,” said Hoffman. Consultation with schools will begin this spring and will take place again in the fall.

Dream it Do it
Buses across Port Mann ‘on hold’ JEFF NAGEL Black Press
TransLink has slammed the brakes on its transit expansion plan after Metro Vancouver mayors voted to withdraw their commitment to raise property taxes over the next two years in the absence of a new transportation funding source. The decision announced by TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis Tuesday freezes plans for Highway 1 express buses over the new Port Mann Bridge in dedicated lanes starting this December, linking Langley, Surrey and Lougheed Centre in Burnaby. Also on hold is a new King George Boulevard B-Line express bus route in Surrey, general bus service increases across the region and upgrades to some Expo Line SkyTrain stations. “We’re going to put those on hold until we have an understanding of how we are going to pay for those improvements,” Jarvis said, adding it is not sufficient to assume a provincial audit will turn up enough efficiencies to finance the upgrades. “To simply rely on the the prospect of potential cost savings in the future is not fiscally sound.” Two projects will still proceed. Construction of the Evergreen Line to Coquitlam will continue because TransLink’s share of that project is fully funded by the two cent per litre gas tax increase that took effect April 1.
And a new White Rock-Langley bus route will still be launched on schedule next week. The property tax increase, equivalent to an extra $23 per average home in 2013 and 2014, would have raised an extra $30 million in those years. Mayors last week voted to withdraw the tax hike after the provincial government refused to allow a vehicle levy for Translink, or any other new source cities prefer over property tax. Three South of Fraser mayors, Township Mayor Jack Froese, City Mayor Peter Fassbender and White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, opposed the motion because they didn’t want to lose the promised expansion in their area. Jarvis said planned upgrades at Metrotown, Surrey Central and Lonsdale Quay stations are on hold, but staff will try to deliver the most urgent station upgrade at Main Street. He also said fare gates will not be in place at the Metrotown and Main Street SkyTrain stations when the new system of turnstiles and Compass smart cards is launched next year. Those two stations will have card readers but installation of gates there will wait until later — which Jarvis said was always TransLink’s intention. For SeaBus, a plan for more frequent service every 15 minutes on evenings and weekends is also shelved for now. Design work toward a rebuild of the Pattullo Bridge is unaffected.

Jarvis said TransLink will fully support a provincial audit and is already acting on the efficiency recommendations of the independent TransLink commissioner, released last week. Managers noted TransLink has been reconfiguring bus routes for the past two years to reallocate service from less-used runs and times to ones where there’s heavier unmet demand. The commissioner last week rejected an extra fare increase for 2013, meaning TransLink must instead cut costs by $20 million a year. Combined with the lost property tax increase, TransLink finds itself short $50 million of expected revenue going into next year. Jarvis and senior staff warn there will be “tradeoffs” depending on how far TransLink must go to wring more cash out of its operations. The search for savings could end up at odds with TransLink’s aims to roll more buses into underserved areas. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom called TransLink’s decision to suspend the expansion projects appropriate, but added the province’s audit should be concluded by the end of summer and he will reopen talks with mayors over short-term funding options then, if necessary. He said he’s optimistic new services like the Highway 1 express buses will be in place when the new Port Mann Bridge opens.

Homebuyers looking for sustainable developments
Cressey aims to reduce eco footprint With the world celebrating Earth Day on April 22, now is a great time to be thinking about eco-friendly living. Hani Lammam, vice-president of development and acquisitions for Cressey Development Group, says the company always keeps it in mind. One of the best ways to ensure an eco-friendly design is to build projects that will stand the test of time, Lammam says. “We put up buildings that will be around for 100 years,” he says, adding that reducing your environmental footprint is one of the best things a homeowner can do. He says that a multi-family development is more
sustainable than a single-family home, as it allows resources to be shared. One of the biggest energy-suckers in a home is the heating and cooling system, so Cressey always devotes time to making it energy-efficient. “We avoid electrical baseboard heating,” Lammam says. “We use heat pumps instead, because they can be shared within the building.” They also try to foster urban agriculture with large outdoor spaces so homeowners can grow their own food. “The Cressey kitchen has become a standard in our industry,” Lammam says. “But it’s what’s used in the kitchen that is important.”
market,” says Castro. Woodbridge chose not to include amenities such as a fitness facility and a pool, instead preferring to keep maintenance fees low. They range from
$125.94 to $165.72 per month. Homes start at $279,900. For more information, check out www. liveatlarue.com or call 604-575-2263 or Castro at 778-885-5790.
‘A different style of home’
Finding a home at Woodbridge’s La Rue by Kerry Vital
Surrey’s Clayton Heights neighbourhood is welcoming Woodbridge Homes to the block with La Rue. Truly “the street you want to live on,” La Rue features a collection of 26 twobedroom and flex space, three- and four-bedroom townhomes in its first phase. “The neighbourhood is very familyoriented,” says sales manager Andrea Castro, adding that she herself lives in the area with her children.
“
This is a fantastic way to get into the market,” says sales manager Andrea Castro.
The homes are spacious and immediately inviting, with their French textured stucco details on the exterior and French Country-inspired landscaping. Architect Robert Cicozzi designed the homes with a Georgian influence in mind, and elegant wrought-iron fences surround the private yards that come standard with every home. Window boxes filled with colourful flowers just add to the beauty of the development. There is a private deck on every home, and the tandem garages or long driveways give you plenty of space to leave your vehicles behind while you take advantage of the
walkability of the neighbourhood. Inside, your home will be no less amazing. The kitchens are fantastic, with ceramic tile backsplashes, Victorian-profile cabinets with crown mouldings and oil-rubbed bronze hardware, and stone countertops. Chic stainless-steel appliances and an undermount sink are perfect for your every culinary need, while the pot lighting is an elegant touch. The lovely finishes extend into the ensuite bathrooms, which also feature stone countertops. An oversized shower with a semi-frameless glass door or a separate tub and shower combination are odes to luxury, while the decorative vanity lights and large mirrors will put everyone in the most flattering light. Most homes feature his-and-hers sinks, so you’ll no longer be fighting for counter space in the morning. Nine-foot ceilings on the main level demonstrate the easy sense of space that is inherent in each home, while the wood laminate flooring in the main living areas and trackless nylon carpet on the stairs and in the bedrooms and upper level hallways are touches that almost seem like the cherry on the top of the perfect home sundae. One of the best parts of the project is the neighbourhood, Castro says. Impossibly close to shopping, restaurants and entertainment, La Rue is also near both elementary and secondary schools, and will include a 1,600-square-foot playground and parks on almost every corner. “This is a fantastic way to get into the

Woodbridge Homes’ La Rue is already garnering buzz in Clayton Heights. With its Georgian-inspired architecture, above, the townhomes are a great addition to the neighbourhood. The bathrooms feature oversized showers, top, while the laminate flooring in the living areas are complemented by the Victorian-profile cabinets and oil-rubbed bronze hardware in the kitchens, above middle.

Credo’s Twist on musical theatre High school production of Oliver! runs at Abby Arts Centre from April 25 to 28 BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
An orphan boy in Victorian England runs away, falls in with the wrong crowd and ends up singing and dancing his way into the hearts of millions. It can only happen on Broadway. Or, in this case, in Credo Christian High School’s production of Oliver!, set to hit the stage at the Abbotsford Arts Centre from April 25 to 28. This is the first major musical production to be put on by the Langley high school in more than a decade, said Credo’s vice principal Ron de Haan, who is directing the show. And it’s not a challenge they’ve taken lightly. In fact, work on the project got underway more than a year ago. Casting took place in the spring, final touches were done on the script over the summer and production began in earnest when school resumed last September. This musical retelling of the classic Dickens tale, Oliver Twist, follows a young orphan who, after being mistreated in a workhouse, runs away to London and is welcomed by a gang of pickpockets led by an old crook named Fagin. When Oliver is caught stealing, the wealthy victim Mr. Brownlow decides to bring the boy home
and shelter him. But Fagin and the dangerous Bill Sikes have other plans for the hapless lad. With just two weeks to go before the curtain rises, costumes have been pulled together and the set — taking up most of a wall in the Credo gymnasium — is almost complete. Once it’s finished, it will be trucked to Abbotsford. As much as they’d love to stage their show in Langley, without an auditorium at the school, there are really no appropriate venues the community, lamented de Haan. Gathered in the school’s science lab to chat, the director and four of the more than 80 performers involved — including actors and chorus members — are anxious to hit the stage, regardless of which town it’s in. Sharing the title role in the production are Credo Elementary School Grade 6 students Michael Jacobi and Ethan Sikma, who will each perform twice. One of the later additions to the production was Abbotsford’s Justin Deddens, as the evil Sikes, a burglar who eventually turns to murder. The Grade 12 Credo student was already working on a production of The King and I in Lynden, Wash. when the opportunity came up to perform in front of a home town crowd. And, Deddens admitted, the role of Sikes tempted him with the chance to step into a character that is completely unlike himself. “Outside of acting, I’m not the most threatening guy out there,” he said with a smile. Playing Sikes’ long-suffering girlfriend, Nancy, is Chilliwack’s Tiffany Van Winkoop, continued, PAGE 38

It will be something of a homecoming for a local ballerina, when Langley’s Sophia Lee performs a starring role in Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s Vancouver’s premier of Svengali. Lee, who will dance the role of Svengali’s First, is one of the world famous ballet company’s fastest-rising young talents. Playing at The Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts from Friday April 20 to Sunday, April 22, the brand-new ballet is a decadent tale, about a mind-bender who is able to place women under his spell. Lee first studied at Langley’s Cameron Academy of Classical Dance until the age of 14, before being invited to join RWB’s professional school division. Unlike most dancers who typically become apprentices first, she was invited into the company as a corps member, immediately following her graduation from the school in 2010. As well as playing Svengali’s First, she has also danced the role of Clara in The Nutcracker alongside principal dancer Nurzhan Kulybaev. In addition, Lee is dancing a number of major roles on the tour — including La Goulue in Mouin Rouge. Svengali was created by Mark Godden, the same choreographer who created the company’s hugely successful Dracula a few years ago. The story is adapted from the novel Trilby by George du Maurier, about a young man who has the ability to put women under his hypnotic control. He uses his power to turn a young woman named Trilby into the most celebrated ballerina in Wiemar (the ballet is set in 1930s Germany), but a struggle for power ensues as Trilby’s star rises and she begins to resist his control. The Centre is located at 777 Homer St. Tickets are available through ticketmaster.

Stay-at-home mom to jewelry guru Local woman turns hobby into thriving business MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter
What started as a humble jewelry hobby in her Langley home is now becoming popular among local fashionistas and celebrities alike. Just four years ago Marjolein Poppema was being taught how to make handmade necklaces, and now her Sweetpiece Jewelry pieces have made their way into many local retail stores and all the way to the Oscars. Keeping up with the growing demand for her handmade bracelets, necklaces and earrings is a new, exciting avenue for the stay-at-home mom turned jewelry guru, and it is all thanks to some lessons from a friend in Holland. “It is interesting how it all happened because my mom came over to visit with a friend from Holland, and she was wearing a very interesting necklace. I just kept looking at it wondering ‘where did she get it? How is this made? Who made it?” explained Poppema, who immigrated to Langley from Holland just two weeks after she was married in 1983. “She told me it was someone in Holland who made it for her, and it turned out it was actually someone who I knew of when I lived there. I thought ‘oh cool I should connect with her so I can learn more about this.’ “So on my next trip over, which was a few months later, I set up an appointment with this girl and she showed me in an hour what she had done and where I can buy some beads in Holland and I never looked back.” Using sterling silver, Swarovski crystal, freshwater pearls and beads imported from Holland, Poppema has since created thousands of decorative jewelry items for her clients and her online store. But it was one of her most unique pieces, the Hope 1 bracelet, that caught the Hollywood buzz back in February. Designed for Fashion Hope, a

non-profit organization raising awareness of human trafficking, Poppema was asked to create 25 of the sophisticated bracelets for the Oscar swag bags. Made of freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystal and a silver charm stamped with the word ‘hope,’ Poppema found that creating the bracelets was “quite a process.” She had to teach herself how to stamp and solder into sterling silver for the design, and then do it perfectly 25 times over. “You should have seen my living room. There were parts here, they were there, they were over there,” she joked. “But I had to get it done and it didn’t matter if I had to get up at three in the morning. It was getting it done and it was getting done right. My biggest goal is that my customers are satisfied with their piece and love their piece.” Although she doesn’t know which Oscar celebrities her

jewelry was given to, Poppema says the entire process has been exciting. “With the swag bags you can have a celebrity wearing your bracelet two months from now because they finally got to your bag. You just don’t know,” she said. “It was just a really cool thing for me to be involved in and I’m just so grateful that I have chosen this cause (Fashion Hope) as part of raising awareness.” Poppema is now working on the Hope 2 bracelet for Fashion Hope. Similar to the Hope 1, its sequel has larger charms and is made of sterling silver rather than plated silver. Perhaps the most enjoyable part of making her jewelry is the creativity involved, Poppema said. “Being creative is really important to me. I use it even when putting a flowerpot outside or creating a nice dinner or making a new desert I haven’t

It’s just part of me — it makes me tick and it makes me happy.” “So making jewelry is awesome because I get to meet customers and brides and they even put me outside of my box. They help me create things that I haven’t thought of before. I love that part. I love people’s reactions. And people are starting now to recognize my stuff, too, which is really cool. That’s when you know you’re on the right track.” Poppema’s Sweetpiece Jewelry

Tips on how to weed out shady landscapers Spring is here and homeowners planning to hire landscaper should be careful to weed out shady contractors, advises the Better Business Bureau. “Homeowners should want a landscaper who has a track record,” says Lynda Pasacreta, BBB president and CEO. “If you are shopping around for a landscaper make sure you are dealing with a company that is transparent about its contract and providing you services that you need.” This past month, BBB received more than 1,600 lawn maintenance and landscaper inquiries. Last year, the BBB for Mainland B.C. received 59 complaints related to lawn maintenance and landscaping. Consumers reported having
difficulty cancelling service contracts and that there are reports that after yearly contracts end, the contracts are automatically-renewed without the homeowner’s consent. This year, consumers have reported harassing phone calls from businesses trying to renew lawn maintenance contracts. BBB offers 10 tips on how to hire a landscaper: 1. Decide what landscaping you are looking for. Are you seeking a complete yard remodelling, a maintenance contract, or remedy of a problem? 2. Obtain at least three detailed written estimates of the work you want. Some agreements break down costs, but for most residential work it
is common to indicate a lump sum, and then detail what’s included in the cost. Additionally, if you have specific instructions on items NOT to be done, (for example, your prize rose bush is to be left alone) these instructions should be noted on the estimate or work order. 3. Allow the landscaper to make suggestions and recommendations for your specific landscape needs. If you see an example of the way you want the job to look like on completion, show it to the landscaper, and question its feasibility for your yard. 4. Ensure that the landscaper checks for specific health hazards and care of all the items in question. 5. Always obtain any

expressed or implied warranty on the company’s workmanship in writing. 6. Ask for references, and follow up on them. Many companies carry a portfolio of pictures and letters from customers. Try to ensure that the majority of the work is to be done at the same time, so that the age and condition of the yard are similar. 7. Check out the company’s BBB Business Review at www.mbc.bbb.org and also check to see if they are listed with the BC Landscape & Nursery Association (BCLNA) at www.bclna.com. If the company displays either a BBB or BCLNA logo in its marketing or advertising, verify it with each organization independently.

8. Specifically request any refund or repair information. Ask questions about whether the company automatically renews the contract each year. 9. It is a good idea to be on site when the actual landscaping takes place. Oversee the job, and keep in mind that if you become concerned that the job is not what you had originally contracted for, you have the right to tell them to stop whatever it is that they are doing. 10.

Huge Selection of
Britco honoured with awards
Wide range for shade or sun. Fuschia mix and moss.
Langley company Britco has earned international accolades for its social housing facilities in Chilliwack and Surrey. They received the awards from the Modular Building Institute in Florida over the weekend. Britco was the official supplier of the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver and as part of the Olympic Legacy Affordable Housing project, the company designed and manufactured 300 temporary rooms that were used in the Whistler Athletes’Village during the Games. After the Games, the temporary rooms were disassembled and relocated to five communities across B.C. — including Chilliwack and Surrey — and were reconfigured into 156 permanent social housing rooms in facilities with community support services. “We are very proud that our partnership with both VANOC and B.C. Housing resulted in a sustainable social housing legacy that is having an impact far beyond 2010,” explained Britco president Mike Ridley, who
accepted the awards in Orlando. The Chilliwack project won a first place award and also a judge’s choice award for best modular building in North America. In Chilliwack, a four-storey permanent social housing facility is composed of 18 modules that were used in Whistler. The facility now includes office and meeting space, a games room and lounge, commercial kitchen and dining room and space for youth services. There are also 11 suites on each of the three floors with the second floor for youth and the top two for adults. The Surrey project also won a first place award and a best in show award. It is a three-storey building with 52 studio apartments that provide safe, supportive housing for seniors, people with disabilities and individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The judges highlighted the architectural excellence, technical innovation and energy efficiency of the social housing facility.
••••• Britco co-founder David Taft was presented with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal at a ceremony at Government House in Victoria on April 12. Taft was nominated by the Hon. Steven Point, B.C.s’ LieutenantGovernor, in recognition of Taft’s support of a new literacy program aimed at supporting literacy and community programs for both adults and children in remote communities. “When we invest in young people, we open the door to limitless possibilities and opportunities for our future,”Taft said. For the past year, Britco has worked to build First Nation library facilities in remote communities of the province. The buildings are being donated by Britco, while the Langley Central Rotary Club — of which Taft has been a member for 21 years — is raising money for the furnishings, shelves, books and computers.

‘A real handful’
GARY AHUJA Times Sports
Scott STEWART/TWU Athletics
Five years ago Daniela Gerig arrived at Trinity Western University from Walnut Grove Secondary. She leaves the university as one of the women’s soccer program’s most prolific goal scorers, amassing 25 goals while wearing the Spartans gold and blue.
On the Ball: Spartans star earns nomination
GARY AHUJA Times Sports
Ben Ball is hoping to add one more award to his ever-expanding trophy case. In March, the 22-year-old senior setter for the Trinity Western Spartans volleyball team capped off his university career by leading his team to a second consecutive CIS national championship title. Ball overcame sickness at the tournament — he was confined to his hotel room bed between the
Daniela Gerig could have very well gone to another school and been that team’s undisputed star. All throughout youth soccer, Gerig had shown a gift for scoring goals on the pitch. While confident in her abilities, she arrived on the campus at Trinity Western University with no promise of just how much playing time she would receive for one of the top women’s soccer programs in Canada. “I was excited, I thought I would get lots of playing time,” Gerig admitted about arriving at the school after graduating from Walnut Grove Secondary in 2007. She started seven of the team’s 16 games that first year and scored three times. And Gerig knew she would have to work for her playing time, so she just kept working hard in practice and listening to the coaches. “From those pointers and practising those things, I think I really grew into what the coaches wanted me to be up front,” she said. What she grew into was a dominating force up front, who graduates from the program with her name among the school record books. There was the game against Regina in 2008 when Gerig scored five times, setting a Spartans singlegame mark. She also tied the season record
quarter-finals and the semifinals — to win most valuable player honours. He was also the Canada West and the CIS player of the year. And on Wednesday morning, Ball was announced as a nominee for the BLG Awards, which recognize the top female and male athletes from CIS universities. “A huge appreciation to my school for getting me where I am,” Ball said during the conference call announcing the nominees. As for the nomination, another
with 14 goals that year. And Gerig finished her fiveyear Spartan career with 45 goals, which puts her second all-time. “She went from being a raw — certainly a talented player — but I think she became a very refined, dangerous player because of her work ethic, because of her ability to score timely goals, because of her strength as a forward,” said coach Graham Roxburgh. “She was a handful. “The greatest compliment you can receive is when other university coaches talk about you being the (player) their team has to key on.” Gerig’s success was a result of her hard work, her discipline and her commitment. “At other programs, Daniela would have been the type of player who never left the field because she was their go-to forward,” Roxburgh said. “She was one of our go-to forwards, but we bought into the team-first mentality, and that meant she wasn’t always in the limelight and wasn’t always getting the minutes she deserved. “She accepted her role and did it to the utmost.” Gerig also helped the Spartans win back-to-back CIS national championships in 2008 and 2009, winning most valuable player honours that first year. “That performance typified her characteristics as a player,” Roxburgh said.“She won it because she scored crucial goals (but) she played relentlessly, her accolade in his stellar career, Ball said “I always hoped for (a season like this) but I never really knew that it would actually happen,” he said. “This season has been a dream season for all of us.We have been the favourites all year, but that kind of put us in a weird pressure spot that I haven’t really felt in my other four years. “It was definitely a learning experience that finished well, obviously.” The Spartans lost just a single
work ethic was second to none and she just gave everything for her team to be successful.” Gerig earned one more honour earlier this month when she was named as one of the four winners of the prestigious Spartans Complete Champion Award. Other recipients were teammate Melissa Mobilio and men’s volleyball players Ben Ball and Marc Howatson. The award is presented to graduating student-athletes who exemplify strength and growth in the five key components of the Complete Champion Approach: academic, athletic, leadership, personal and spiritual development. “It was a real privilege to win; I am just thankful for that and what (the award) means,” Gerig said. “I feel like I have matured into the senior athlete I have wanted to become.” Gerig has mixed emotions with her time at university over. “There is a lot I will miss and I wish I could go back,” she said. “But at the same time, there is a lot to look forward to in the future.” She graduates this spring, having done her bachelor of arts in human kinetics with a minor in psychology. Gerig will likely play this summer for the Fraser Valley Action, a team which consists largely of former and current Spartan players. She is also contemplating taking up another sport as well, perhaps ball hockey or badminton, just for a change. match in league play and playoffs, compiling an overall record of 24-1 against their Canadian competition. As for what comes next for the graduating senior, Ball said he is not completely sure, but is planning on winding down his playing days and getting into coaching. The winners, one male and one female, will be announced on April 30 at the Jack Singer Concert Hall in Calgary. It will be broadcast on TSN on May 26. Both winners receive a $10,000 post-graduate scholarship.

High marks for Doornberg Ball player honoured for classroom achievements
Robert JORDAN/UM Communications
Langley’s Corrine Doornberg, a senior on the Ole Miss Rebels softball team, has earned high praise for her work in the classroom.
Thunder golden at nationals
Corrine Doornberg has received the University of Mississippi’s highest academic honour. Doornberg was one of 64 recipients of the Taylor Medal in the College of Liberal Arts last week at the university’s annual honours convocation. The Brookswood graduate is a fourthyear infielder on the Rebels’ women’s softball team. She was one of three from the team to earn the honour. The Taylor Medal recognizes outstanding academic performance and is given to no more than one per cent of the student body. To be considered,
A pair of Langley ringette players helped win the gold medal. Jennifer Wakefield had three assists and Kacy Hannesson had a goal to lead the Lower Mainland Ringette League Thunder to a 7-2 victory over the Montreal Mission in the finals of the Canadian national ringette championships.The gold medal game
a student must have a grade point average of at least 3.9. The 22-year-old Doornberg has a 3.93 average in civil engineering and is a member of the Honours College. She is a three-time member of the Southeast Conference (SEC) academic honour roll. On the field, Doornberg is batting .316 for the Rebels and is tied for second with 25 runs scored. Prior to heading south, Doornberg played club ball for the White Rock Renegades and was a member of the 2007 Canadian junior women’s national team.
was on Saturday at Burnaby’s Bill Copeland Arena. Wakefield finished tied for second in scoring at the tournament with eight goals and 14 assists in the seven games and then had six assists in the semifinals and finals. She was named a first team all-star. Hannesson had five assists during preliminary play.

BRAIN INJURIES AND THEIR EFFECTS “Mental Illness often a Byproduct of Concussions” declared an attentiongrabbing newspaper headline recently. The effort to draw attention to the often misunderstood subject of brain injuries (of which concussions are a common type) is justified. “Concussion” or even “mild concussion” sounds harmless and, too often, is incorrectly viewed lightly, like a sprain or minor fracture. It’s true that in most cases, a single, first incident of minor concussion – if promptly and properly treated and if given enough time to heal – will heal if there’s no repeat incident. The good news is that some 85% to 95% of people suffering from one uncomplicated mild concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), the medical term which describes more accurately what’s involved, recover within six months. But sadly, in a significant minority of cases, even the first, single incident of a mild concussion or MTBI can have severe and long-lasting or even permanent effects. For these 5% to 15% of victims, the positive statistics are irrelevant – though their physical brain injury was “mild,” its adverse consequences can be severe and disabling. Then there is also the cumulative effect of repeated concussions to consider, which substantially increases the risk of serious adverse consequences. Hockey players, football players and boxers all face the increased risks associated with repeat “hits” potentially causing concussions. It’s not sports players who are hurt the most, however. Car crashes are by far the single most common cause of brain injuries. They account for one half of brain injuries. The rest are caused by all other causes – work-related injuries, falls, illnesses, sports injuries, assaults or fire arms – combined. So what are some of the serious potential effects of mild concussion or MTBI? Depression, a form of mood disorder, often follows a brain injury and can be longlasting. It can lead to reduced motivation, anxiety, sleeping difficulties and avoidance problems. Because there’s a stigma
attached to any mental illness, victims are often reluctant to talk about these issues and their feelings. Concussions may also result in negative personality changes. Victims may become temperamental, irritable, impulsive and irrational, and may exhibit hurtful behaviour, making them difficult to live with. To friends and loved ones, they may seem like a different person. Concussion victims can also develop persistent cognitive difficulties, such as memory and learning problems, inability to function under stress, speech or written communication difficulties, and problems with executive functions like punctuality, organization, focussing their attention and planning. Other neurological conditions may develop too. After an incident of brain injury, the potential for later multiple injuries increases greatly. U.S. figures suggest the risk of a second injury is two to three times greater than average, and after that the potential for a third injury increases to eight times the normal average. The bottom line is that, in some cases, the cognitive, emotional, behavioural and social effects of a mild concussion or MTBI can severely disable and impact the victim’s life. Rehabilitation and treatment may be needed for many years and require many different specialists, and it can be expensive. It’s important for car crash victims suffering concussion to seek experienced medical and legal assistance. Your lawyer will assess the merits of your case, assemble the evidence, arrange for expert witnesses, prepare your case for trial (if necessary), and obtain appropriate compensation in court or by negotiation of a fair settlement.

FC downs Devils to capture Cup Two quick goals gave Langley FC a lead they would not relinquish as they captured the oldest Canadian soccer cup, the Pakenham Cup. Langley FC, the local Premier men’s soccer team, defeated the Fraser Valley Red Devils 3-1 in some wet and rainy conditions to capture the Cup, the oldest of the soccer cups competed for in Canada. The game was played March 31. “Today was a day where we wouldn’t be denied,� said coach Rob Keam. “I’m very proud of the commitment this team has shown all year in training and games week in and week out. “This team has exemplified what it takes to play and be a top team at the highest level in the province.� In the final, the Red Devils struck first.
After Langley FC goalkeeper Ian Poole denied three great scoring chances, he was finally beaten on the fourth try in the 20th minute. But minutes later, Langley was able to regroup, earning a corner kick, which Tyson Keam executed brilliantly, with Lee Ellis heading home the ball to tie the score. With the Red Devils stunned by the change in momentum, Langley quickly struck again as Keam played a nice through ball to Shaun Patterson, who went in all alone on the Fraser Valley keeper and slotted the ball home for a 2-1 halftime lead. The Red Devils came out hard in the second half, but Langley countered with a strong defence and eliminated every opportunity Fraser Valley tried to generate. Twenty minutes later, Keam set up the team’s third goal, sending a cross to a wide-open James Farenhorst, who made the score 3-1. The Pakenham Cup is the first for the Langley squad since 2006
and it is the sixth time a Langley team has won the fabled trophy since it was first awarded in 1909. Langley FC advanced to the Cup final after defeating Peace Arch United in penalty kicks and then upsetting PoCo FC 3-1 in the semifinals on goals from Devon Gilroy, Keam and Farenhorst and the outstanding goaltending of Colton Keam, who made several point-blank breakaway saves and stopped a penalty kick to preserve the victory. PoCo was the only unbeaten team in the Fraser Valley Soccer League. ••••• A local soccer team is one victory away from a berth in the Coastal Cup championship game. The Langley United Youth Soccer Association’s U14 boys team travels to Vancouver Island on Saturday for a showdown with the Prospect Lake Lakers. The winner moves on the Coastal Cup gold medal game in Richmond on May 5. The Langley squad
hosted Richmond over the weekend at Willoughby Community Park. Connor Roberts’ goal gave the home side the lead heading into the half, but Richmond came out strong in the second half to net the equalizer 10 minutes in. The teams took turns trading chances, but Langley keeper Ryan Sabiston turned aside every chance he faced. Riley Peters then notched the go-ahead goal off a scramble just inside the six-yard box. Zach Pilch added an insurance goal for the 3-1 final score. Playing close games is nothing new for the squad. In the finals of the District 5 Fraser Valley championships, the team scored twice in the late going to defeat Chilliwack 3-1. In the Coastal Cup’s opening round against the Port Coquitlam Whitecaps, Langley was down 2-0 at the half, but they scored twice to force overtime. And with penalty kicks looming, added another pair of goals for the 4-2 win.

SEPTEMBER 6, 1932 APRIL 14, 2012
BROWN, Beverley Joan (nee) Cairnduff Passed peacefully, surrounded by her loving family on April 11, 2012 at Langley Memorial Hospital. She is survived by her husband Gerry, sons, Mark (Ellen), Gerry jr (Karen), Douglas (Erika), Geoffrey, Grandchildren Jessica, Stacey, Mac, Katie, Trevor, Tanya, Christine, Matthew, Dustin, Erin, Great-grandchildren Connor and Dylan. Beverley Graduated from Magee High School in Vancouver and became a life long educator. She had a long career beginning in the Peace River region where she taught in the Doe river community, commuting to school by horse and buggy. Later she moved to the Langley area, continuing her teaching, where she met Gerry, marrying him in 1954. Son Mark was born in Hope, and the other 3 boys were born in Murrayville. Beverley also taught at Tynehead, Clayton, and East Clayton, making friendships and impacting many students, fellow teachers and administrators, with her work, before retiring in 1987. She had many life long friends outside of teaching, including the minor Hockey associations of North Surrey, Cloverdale, and mutual friends with Gerry from her early days when they first met. She loved her home on the farm in Port Kells and spending time at their cabin on Murphy Lake in the Cariboo. There will be a Family Funeral at Fort Langley Cemetery at 11:00 AM, followed by a Celebration of Life at the Living Waters Assembly at 9095 Glover Road, Fort Langley, starting at 12:00 PM on Saturday, April 21, 2012.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our wonderful mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She will be remembered for her tiny stature but huge delightful personality. Friendly to all she met on her life’s journey; it grieves us to say goodbye to someone so dear. Survived by sons Barry Dundas, Bruce (Kristina) Dundas, daughter Cindy (Dave) Horton and
son Richard Dow. Nine grandchildren and eleven greatgrandchildren, as well as nieces, nephews and members of the Koob family. A celebration of Blanche’s life will be held on April 26, 2012, 1 - 4 PM at the Clubhouse: 13650 84th Ave. Surrey, B.C. The family extends our heartfelt thanks to the staff of Langley Lions Evergreen Timbers for their loving care of Blanche for the past four years and in lieu of flowers we kindly ask that donations be sent to; Langley Lions Senior Citizens Housing Society c/o Jeanette Dagenais 5464 - 203 - Street Langley, B.C., V3A 0A4. PARKER, Violet Alice Jill aged 84 years passed away peacefully at Langley Memorial Hospital on 11 April, 2012. Lovingly remembered by her sister Mary, her sons Michael, Simon (Catherine), daughter Ann (Gerry), and grandchildren Sarah, Adam, and Gwen, as well as many relatives and friends. She is predeceased by her husband John. As requested, there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
