A deliberately set fire ignited a gas main which sent flames shooting into the night sky at the Iron Chef sushi restaurant in Fort Langley. The fire, which broke out at around 2:40 a.m. on Sunday, caused approximately $150,000 damage. The restaurant can be repaired, investigators say.
Fort sushi restaurant torched Langley RCMP looking into blaze that was started in an outside shed Sunday morning NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
A Fort Langley sushi restaurant sustained approximately $150,000 damage in a fire which investigators believe was deliberately set. Iron Chef Sushi Ichi, at 9145 Glover Road, has been temporarily closed following the blaze, which was reported to Township firefighters at 2:44 a.m. on Sunday. Mark Forsythe and his wife, who live in an apartment opposite the
restaurant, were awakened by the flames. Forsythe dialed 911 and recalled the “rush and roar” when a propane tank erupted. Then a gas main broke and burst into flames. “There was a giant blow torch up the back of the building,” said Forsythe who hosts the CBC radio program Almanac. Fire department spokesman Bruce Ferguson said that the outside of a shed behind the restaurant was set on fire. The blaze
destroyed the shed and spread to the back of the restaurant, inflicting enough damage to keep the restaurant closed for now. “It is definitely repairable,” Ferguson said of the building, which is a wooden structure several decades old. The restaurant lies several metres south of the Fort Langley Community Hall, which was not threatened by the blaze, and a breezeway prevented the blaze from igniting another wood-frame

restaurant and store immediately south of the Iron Chef. “It looked pretty intense when crews arrived,” Ferguson said. When the call came in as a commercial fire, extra manpower was deployed, bringing firefighters from Walnut Grove, Willoughby and Murrayville to assist Fort Langley personnel. “The crew did a fantastic job,” Ferguson said. “Another couple of minutes later and it could have been a different story.”
The Langley Board of Education has selected acting superintendent Suzanne Hoffman to fill the vacant position of Superintendent of Schools and CEO. The board made the announcement on Monday, explaining that Hoffman has impressed everybody since taking on the role of acting superintendent five months ago, when Cheryle Beaumont was fired by the board. Fifteen quality candidates expressed an interest in the position. The competition closed on April 20. This group Suzanne was narrowed Hoffman to a final list of five candidates who faced interviews with a panel made up of staff and community stakeholders, followed by interviews with the board. The hiring process was overseen by secretary-treasurer David Green and assistant superintendent Jennifer Canas, with the assistance of Make a Future, which was contracted to facilitate the vetting of candidates and the conducting of interviews. “The board of education has been very impressed with Hoffman’s performance in the role of acting superintendent these past months and is very excited to have her take on the role of superintendent,” said board chair Wendy Johnson. The former superintendent made $198,000 per year, plus benefits. continued, PAGE 4

Speed and alcohol are believed to be factors in a crash at the new 232 Street roundabout that sent a 35-year-old Surrey woman to hospital in serious condition on Thursday. Langley RCMP were granted a warrant to seize blood from the driver at the time of the crash. It was around 11 p.m. when her Infiniti sedan struck a concrete median and became airborne before coming to rest in a field at the northwest side of the new roundabout at 232 Street and 56 Avenue. Langley RCMP said that the driver was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries. Her condition is still serious but upgraded to stable, said Langley RCMP on Monday.

Langley Traffic Services Collision Analyst and ICARS (Integrated Collision Analysis Reconstruction Services) collected evidence at the scene, including measurements and photographs. The crash closed the intersection until approximately 4:20 a.m. on Friday. The Infiniti was seized and will undergo a mechanical inspection. Police have learned from witnesses at the scene that an unidentified motorist may have witnessed the collision but left before police arrival. Police want that witness to contact them at 604 532-3200. The roundabout is still under construction but has been operational for a few weeks, confirms
Township engineer Paul Cordeiro. There have been a few accidents at the new roundabout since it opened. But there is plenty of signage warning people about the new traffic pattern change, said Cordeiro. “There is an approach message board, a traffic sign showing how to use a roundabout and the yield sign at the roundabout plus construction signs,” he said. Curbs and a truck apron are being poured this week and there is still a lot of work to be done around the roundabout, he said. The Township is hoping to have the roundabout complete by the beginning of August.

Community rallies behind White family from PAGE 3
She has started a fundraiser for the White family to help ease the sudden financial burden they are facing. The Melissa White Legacy raffle and burger and beer event, being held at the Fort Pub on June 24, has the potential to raise $20,000 in raffle ticket sales alone. With more than $7,000 in silent auction prizes, numerous corporate donations, a personal tragedy account set up at the Royal Bank and online auctions through their Facebook page, McCarthy is confident the community can make a huge difference in the lives of the family. “I just turned 30 and we have kids of similar ages, so I can’t even imagine what they are going through,” McCarthy said, adding that she lost her brother in 2003 and remembers how difficult it was to move on. “I really wanted to actually do something to help the family, just because I have experienced a loss and it feels horrible.Your life feels suspended and you have all of this grief when it seems everyone else’s lives go on.” The burger and beer night is already sold out, but should the Fort Pub finish their patio renovations prior to the event date, more tickets will be available.Tickets for the raffle are still on sale for $10 each at many locations, including the Future Shop on the Langley Bypass, the Petro Canada gas station on 72 Avenue and 200 Street, Colour me Mine at 6339 200 St., Nestle Tollhouse Cafe at Guildford Town Centre, and online by emailing whitefamilytrustfund@gmail. com. Only 2,000 tickets are being sold, making the odds of winning very high, McCarthy said. Grand prize for the raffle is two round trip tickets anywhere WestJet flies. Second prize is a two-night stay at Black Rock Oceanfront Resort in Ucluelet and
two round trip flights with Orca Airways (worth more than $1,600). Third prize is a $1,000 gift card basket from local businesses. Fourth prize is a Canon Eos Rebel T2i 18-55 mm lens, 430x speedlight and bag package ($899 retail). Local Chartered Accountant Eric Nyvall has also donated several sevennight vacations in locations such as Aruba, Orlando and Kauai, with all proceeds going directly to the White family.These are currently being auctioned off on Facebook. Plus,‘Fin’tastic’s Cuts For Kids hair salon, 101—15905 Fraser Hwy., Surrey, is having a business blitz week, from May 26 to June 2, where a portion from all haircuts will be donated to the cause. “It’s inspiring to see how others are connecting with the family, even though they have never met them before,” McCarthy said. “It doesn’t matter if you are best friends with the person, if I was in that life situation, I would want someone to do likewise.” Jeremy says he is overwhelmed with the support the community has shown to his family. “Anita has been a really big help because she just took it upon herself to do all that. She’s never done a fundraiser before and she’s had all these corporations donate things. It’s been really good to know that there’s a lot of people out there, whether I know them or not, who really care and want to be able to help out and support us,” he said. Those wishing to donate directly to the White family can do so through the ‘In Trust for the White family’ account at the Willowbrook Royal Bank branch, 19888 Willowbrook Dr. For more information on the fundraisers, visit whitefamilytrustfund. weebly.com, the ‘Melissa White Legacy Event & Raffle’ Facebook page or email Anita McCarthy at whitefamilytrustfund@gmail.com.

Water supply secured
A FRASER VALLEY HEARING EXCLUSIVE
NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
CONFIDENT C
When it formally adopted its 2012 budget in April, Langley Township sanctioned an investment in infrastructure that will ensure the community has safe, clean, and sustainable water for decades to come. One of the big ticket items is the construction of the East Langley Water Supply Project, a new pipeline that will connect to the Greater Vancouver Water District (GVWD) water system. It will bring water to Aldergrove and Gloucester Estates, where water currently comes from wells, which, long-term monitoring has shown, are not sustainable. “Bringing new, reliable, and long-term water from Metro Vancouver will pro-

tect the existing aquifers,� said Township Mayor Jack Froese. “We are investing in our future and it will pay off significantly in the long run. “We pride ourselves on the excellent quality of life our residents enjoy, and ensuring they have reliable, sustainable water is an essential part of meeting those expectations.� All of Langley will also benefit from water projects that will ensure a dependable water supply for decades to come. The Township’s share of the Barnston/ Maple Ridge Pump Station, which will also enhance Aldergrove wells and aquifers, was approved in the 2012 Budget, as are upgrades to the Labonte Crescent Watermain near Trinity Western University, which will improve water supplies in that community.
Off-duty officer facing charges A Burnaby RCMP officer has been charged with assault in connection with an off-duty incident at the parking lot of a Langley shopping mall on Dec. 31. Const. Harinder Paul Singh Pabla, an officer with 16 years of service with the RCMP, faces
one count of assault and is currently suspended from duty. The RCMP are also conducting a parallel Code of Conduct investigation which is ongoing. “RCMP members are accountable for their actions both on and off duty,� said Supt. Derren Lench, operations officer
and assistant officer-incharge for the Burnaby RCMP detachment. “Like anyone else that has been charged with an offence, he will have the opportunity to respond to the charge in court.� Pabla has been served a summons to appear in court in Surrey on July 3.

Council urged to allow beekeeping With their numbers decimated by disease, the proliferation of chemicals and other causes, bees are in a dangerous decline. But, two delegations told Township council on May 7, allowing local residents to keep bees would go a long way to helping restore their numbers. Tricia Carpenter told council that she has been a beekeeper for three years, and keeps her four hives on an organic farm in Abbotsford, 25 minutes away from her WindSong Cohousing home in Walnut Grove. The drive to and from the hives is environmentally counterproductive, she said. She wants the Township to amend the Zoning Bylaw to allow people in residential areas to keep bees. She would need permission from WindSong owners, she acknowledged. “Bees are in decline from many causes, and the situation has become critical and blueberry farmers are anxious to get hives on their properties,” she said. Stressing the importance of bees to agriculture and residents’ flower gardens, vegetable beds and fruit trees, Carpenter noted that several municipalities, including Pitt Meadows, Burnaby, Richmond and West Vancouver, have all amended their zoning bylaws to allow beekeeping. Renting hives to farmers is the biggest part of The Honeybee Centre’s business, said John Gibeau. The majority go to blueberry farmers, he said, adding that he has kept bees at his New Westminster home for 30 years. He places dozens of
colonies on properties in Surrey and Langley over the winter months. Gibeau allayed fears about stings, noting that people are stung mostly by wasps, not bees. The number of people who suffer life threatening
stings is very small, he said. Gibeau also calmed fears about swarming: “There are people who are afraid when they swarm but that is when they are their most calm.” If council considers
changes to the zoning bylaw, a public hearing would be required as land use designations would be affected, administrator Mark Bakken advised council. Council referred the issue to staff for a report.

It’s time AirCare died
Ease the download
A
irCare will die a natural death in December, 2014. It is long overdue. The provincial program, which is operated by a private operator under TransLink oversight, was actually instituted in the dying days of the Social Credit government. The Socreds were desperate to be seen as ‘doing something’about air pollution from vehicles. By the time the program was up and running in early 1992, the Socreds had been voted out and the NDP were in power. Thus some members of the NDP are claiming that the program came in under their government, which is technically true. However, it was not their policy initiative. AirCare has been unpopular from the beginning, but at first it did serve a purpose. There were a lot of polluting vehicles on the road, some with pollution control equipment that had been disabled. Others belched oil smoke because of engine wear, and there was nothing to stop such vehicles from being driven indefinitely. AirCare either forced these vehicles off the road, or into a shop for needed repairs. But the testing was erratic at first, with vehicles failing at one test station and passing at another. The program was updated several times, with newer vehicles only requiring two-year inspections, and the newest vehicles not needing them at all. This is because vehicle emission standards are much higher than they were in the early 1990s. As a result, AirCare hasn’t been necessary for some time. There simply aren’t enough older vehicles on the road to make such an expensive and bureaucratic program necessary. The province’s idea is to perhaps shift the emphasis to testing of larger vehicles, which has always been AirCare’s Achilles heel. Large trucks and buses have not been held to the same anti-pollution standards, even though they are a key source of vehicle emissions. It doesn’t make sense to set up AirCare-type stations for large vehicles. What would be more logical would be to give police and commercial vehicle inspectors enough power to take a badlypolluting vehicle off the road, or order one in for testing if they suspect pollution control devices have been tampered with. This should apply to all vehicles. Random enforcement to reduce air pollution is best, in an era where emission controls standards are much higher than they used to be.

It was probably nice that you, the Prince George taxpayer, sent Mayor Shari Green to Penticton for the inaugural B.C. Mayors Caucus. Given that the February holiday won’t arrive until next year, it’s nice that you, the taxpayer, funded this trip. The mayors didn’t really reveal anything new … federal and provincial downloading is having a detrimental effect on municipalities. This has been going on for decades and it’s getting worse. There is no doubt about that. From that perspective, the mayors’ cause is a good one. It’s an issue that needs to be addressed. It’s not surprising that both the federal and provincial governments resoundingly dismissed the mayors’ concerns. They, after all, are the ones who are offloading costs onto the municipal taxpayers. Municipalities do have several avenues to pressure upper levels of government. The most obvious one is the Union of British Columbia Municipalities and its federal counterpart, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. The upside to the UBCM and the FCM is that when they meet, which is annually, the conventions are liberally populated with MLAs from all sides, cabinet ministers and even a premier or prime minister. It is a prime opportunity to chat with MLAs and cabinet ministers. The mayors’ caucus, however, was just the mayors. And while it’s good to present a united voice, do we really need to pay for 86 mayors to have a weekend at a resort in Pentiction? Upper levels of government need to ease up on the downloading. From police costs to infrastructure, municipalities are shouldering a much greater share of the load, without the subsequent lessening of higher level tax burdens. It’s a legitimate complaint that the federal and provincial governments take more and more of our tax dollars while providing fewer and fewer services … all the while demanding that municipalities pick up the slack. —Prince George Free Press The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Don’t mess with the land reserve Editor: I am pleased to take this opportunity to express my support for preserving farmland in general in B.C., the Agricultural Land Reserve and Agricultural Land Commission in particular, and spcifically the now-contentious green lands in Langley Township. While one can understand how local officials might think it wouldn’t hurt to make some ALR removals in just a little bit in just a little place in a special circumstance, but they fail to appreciate the dangers of setting such precedents.
If we the people allow an exception in one place, it makes it much more difficult to oppose exemptions in other places and then pretty soon there would be no more ALR and then no more farmland. There are many good reasons for preserving farm lands, but one of the more important and less obvious ones is that in future decades world problems probably will worsen to the point that international and overseas trade will cease. At that point, the four million people of B.C. would become wholly dependent on what we
would be able to grow for food in our own territory — and the land in the Fraser Valley is clearly the best location for that. In this province, the Fraser Valley is one of the few places for agriculture, that because B.C. is so dominated by rocky terrain and cold winters. In short, we will soon need all of the farmland we have for producing our own food. If that land is converted to non-farming uses it could be lost forever. John Twigg, West Vancouver
HandyDart bus driver berated for rudeness Editor: On Tuesday, May 22, my spouse and I decided to go shopping at the local Price Smart in Langley to buy ingredients for a spaghetti dinner. We pulled into the parking lot, parked and proceeded to walk to the front entrance. Parked in front of the exit door was a yellow TransLink HandyDart bus. As we were walking past the bus, we observed a senior lady with a shopping cart with one plastic bag in the upper pullout part of the cart. The driver, who later identified himself as Luke, walked down the two steps out of the bus and with a very authoritative voice spoke to the five foot, one inch, 80ish senior citizen — “I guess you expect me to carry your bag of groceries onto the bus?” At first, we thought he was just kidding around, but he continued: “You know it’s not my job to carry your things onto the bus, that’s your responsibility. It’s against the rules.” We spun around, in utter disbelief of what we just overheard. We were shocked. Here is a taxpayer-paid employee, about 6”2, 200 pounds or so, around 55 years old, who is verbally intimidating a senior citizen about the rules and regulations of the TransLink HandyDart bus service. The audacity and total lack of respect for the
woman’s right to use a service provided by the province and paid for by the taxpayers was, in a small word, unacceptable. I turned my gaze onto the bus driver, and said “Are you joking? That was disgusting, how dare you speak to her like that.” He, with a smug sarcastic look on his face, stared me down and said “You got a problem with that?” I said “Yes, I do. How dare you treat this lady with that disgusting attitude. My tax dollars pay your wages.” He replied: “Oh yeah, what did you hear? Repeat it back to me.” I was speechless. The next thing that came out of my mouth was “Hey buddy, what is your name?” He replied: “The name is Luke.” The woman was visibly shaken up by the whole debacle. With her head down, she walked onto the bus and sat down. The driver gave me a smile and a wink and drove away. Infuriated, I walked into the store and asked to speak to the manager. A very nice man came to talk to me. He listened to the story that took place, wrote down my name and number and said he would try to find out who the driver was and he would call me with a follow-up.
He called me around 20 minutes later, stating he was going to leave a message for the TransLink company and that he too would inquire about the driver’s identity. I thanked him and said “I know it’s not your fault about the driver’s disrespect, but it was one of your customers that was poorly treated in front of your store.” He agreed and had empathy for the lady. It was unfortunate that I did not get the woman’s name. I hope she will get some justice with publication of this letter from a concerned citizen. Both my spouse and I were appalled and shocked at the way this worker degraded this elderly lady with his “out of line” comment. Is he not in the customer service industry? Does his job not cater to the needs of the elderly and handicapped? Where are the days of helping a person in need, and just how much effort did it really take to help out this lady by bringing her five-pound bag onto the bus? Perhaps TransLink should have a more stringent enforcement policy regarding acceptable service and action from its employees, especially when it comes to those who offer senior citizens and handicapped people specialized services.

Bike thief steals from responsible teen Editor: Last night (May 22), someone stole my son’s bike from the patio right in front of my house in Langley City. Yes, it was locked up, and they took the lock too. Please keep your eyes peeled for it and if you find it please call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. It’s a 1996 Ventana, silver with a black and red seat, and a black and red handle on the rear brake side. It has full suspension (front and rear), and is a mountain bike with a 26-inch frame. If it happened to be you who took my son’s bike, I have a few things to say to you: For starters, shame on you for thinking it is OK to steal from anyone. Shame on you for causing hardship to a fellow human being, and likely a neighbour. Shame on you for taking away my son’s ability to train and be independent.
I hope your Mom reads this, realizes it was you and teaches you a lesson about how to be a decent human being. This was the worst possible day for this to happen for my son. On the following day, he was playing in the most important game of his entire rugby season, the championship final, Stafford Middle School versus Fraser Middle School in Abbotsford. It was not a day that he needed to be so very angry, he needed to be focused. I am guessing that you have absolutely no idea who you stole from. I am a single parent and full-time university student. I work hard to raise my children to be upstanding citizens who have respect for others and as far as teenagers go, my son is a good kid. He is kind to the elderly, has respect for his elders and those who have less than
us (which isn’t many), and is a natural leader involved in many sports within his school and community. He does not drink or do drugs, he is an athlete. He uses his bike to get to and from school, to train and keep fit. It is not a fancy bike, because I can’t afford to provide the best, but it was good enough to use for his purposes. I hope the thief is real proud of himself or herself. To that person, I say this: You stole from someone who is smarter, kinder and a far more respectable person than you. Shame on you. Lastly, I highly recommend the thief return it, because if we find you on it, I don’t know that my son will be able to be as responsible for his actions as he is on the rugby field. Rae-Lynne Dicks, Langley
Fletcher challenged Editor: This letter is in response to the Tom Fletcher column (The Times, May 22). It appears to me that Fletcher not only is included in “the group of people that know nothing about chemicals,” but also that he doesn’t do his homework thoroughly. A bit of time on the Internet can be extremely enlightening. Look especially for the effects of glyphosates on fish and frogs. We are farmers ourselves, and have not used herbicides or pesticides since we have owned our plant nursery (1985). Yet Roundup would have been a big time saver for us. Fletcher’s article. which bluntly states that the use of glyphosates (like Roundup) is safe, could do a lot of harm indeed and is highly irresponsible. I ask him to answer me, when I ask why the use of glyphosates or any other synthetic herbicide is not permitted under organic certification standards? Or why some countries have banned the use of it? Marjanne Vrijmoed, Free Spirit Nursery
Coleman stands up Editor: I am proud of local MLA Rich Coleman for doffing the B.C. Energy Minister hat he wears, and donning the hat of local MLA (“Coleman: Metro board too big for its boots,” The Times, May 22). He does indeed possess two hats, and it’s gratifying that he knows the appropriate occasions on which to wear them. Rian Martin, Langley The Times welcomes letters to the editor.

BAN CALLED FOR
Langley should follow Richmond’s lead on genetic engineering Editor: The City of Richmond has passed a ban on genetically engineered crops. Kudos for Richmond. It has joined the ranks with such places as Rossland, Kaslo, Nelson, Powell River and Salt Spring Island, which have also passed motions opposing genetically modified organisms with their boundaries. Research shows that the Langleys have 23,600 hectares in the Agricultural Land The
Reserve. This accounts for almost 77 per cent of the land area of Langley, and approximately 43 per cent of the ALR in the Greater Vancouver Regional District. The time has come for the two Langleys to stand up and be counted. Our freedom to choose local organic produce is being taken from us with the introduction of Monsanto’s genetically modified crops.
One group opposed to these frankencrops states that genetically engineered crops give rise to novel proteins that are not recognizable to human and animal digestive systems, and that engineered genetic material may have unknown consequences when it is released in to the environment. If you don’t know who Monsanto is, check out this web site: http://bestmeal.
info/monsanto/company-history.shtml This is a wake-up call for the citizens of the Langleys to speak up, and join the thousands who have won the freedom to consume non-genetically engineered products. Let’s say yes to a ban on genetically modified shrubs, plants and food crops within our boundaries. Maureen Miller, Langley

community members lined the track and erupted in cheers as an estimated 100 cancer survivors, adorned in special yellow shirts, walked the commemorative first lap. “Relay is about heart share and getting pissed off at cancer and wanting to fight back. Many can’t say their lives haven’t been affected by cancer,” said Shannon Todd Booth, community giving co-ordinator for the Fraser Valley region of the Canadian Cancer Society. With more than $280,000 in donations collected so far, and more still pouring in, the Langley relay has become the third largest in B.C., next to Prince George and Coquitlam. This year saw an increase from 81 teams last year to 86 teams this year, with 29 brand new. More than 60 per cent of the teams return to relay year after year, helping to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars. “It was the smoothest

But it’s because of our amazing volunteer workforce that give their time and talent every year that makes all the difference,” Booth said. “Langley is a community like no other.There is an amazing amount of heart and we are blessed by it.” Beyond its reputation for size, the Langley relay is also becoming known for its youth participation. More than 20 per cent of the registrations come from youth, many of whom
join their school teams for the event. This year Langley Fine Arts had six teams, Walnut Grove had two teams plus nearly 20 set up and clean up volunteers, Brookswood Secondary had six teams, Langley Christian had two teams, Credo Christian had one team, Noel Booth Elementary had one team and Glenwood Elementary had three teams. “We take pride in youth participation, they have really made it their own,” Booth said.“From the get-go it has been an event that draws all facets of the community together in terms of participation.”

‘No’ to bylaw suggestions
NATASHA JONES
No Flight Required!
Times Reporter
Imagine a bylaw that requires elected officials to publicly disclose receipts that show item for item every penny they spend on their political duties. “It’s completely transparent,” Jordan Bateman told Township politicians on May 14. Municipal council members are required by law to disclose their expenses, but in Langley’s case, these are off-limits to the public. It should be enshrined in a Property Tax Bylaw which the Canadian Taxpayers Federation would like all local authorities to adopt, said Bateman, a former Township councillor. Council said no, defeating a motion that urges staff to explore its merits. Bateman is the B.C. director of the CTF which also advocates pay cuts of 15 per cent if politicians raise property taxes above the Consumer Price Index. He is also a former Township councillor. The CTF is a non-partisan advocacy organization that is funded by more than 18,000 donors across the country. It has more than 70,000 supporters.

The Property Tax Bylaw sets out the core principles that guide interactions between municipalities and taxpayers. Within it is a Bill of Rights that can be tailored to a community’s specific needs and expectations, Bateman said. The bill would spell out simple rules to guide budget preparation, spending increases, tax hikes and bylaw enforcement. The Property Tax Bylaw would prevent a municipality from accepting “voluntary downloading,” that is, not funding or taking on services that are the proper jurisdiction of another government. It supports the premise that taxpayers’ personal property rights are respected and upheld, and includes more use of referenda and citizen initiatives. The bylaw also includes a component for the recall of politicians. Bateman asked council to refer his presentation and the bylaw to staff who would make recommendations on what should or could be included. Council voted 5-4 against the idea, with only Councillors Kim Richter, Charlie Fox, Steve Ferguson and Bev Dornan in support.

In what is certain to be a huge blow to the hundreds of seniors living in the vicinity, the IGA in Langley Mall is to close. Store owner Robert Lee confirmed on Friday, May 25 that he will not renew his lease and will close the store on Aug. 31. “Although our customers have been very supportive, we cannot continue to operate a viable business within this particular market area,” he said. Lee promised that it will be “business as usual” at his Langley Mall store, and all coupons and promo-

tions will be honoured until Aug. 31. The IGA opened at the Langley Mall location, which had previously been occupied by Super Valu, on March 5, 1996. For a while the store made home deliveries, but the service was abandoned when it became not viable financially. Lee said that his staff were advised of the plans in a meeting, and in a personal letter from him on May 18. He said he can give no guarantees that they will be able to find work at the company’s other stores: in Murrayville, Fernridge, Fort Langley and Walnut Grove. continued, PAGE 13

Mayor expects new store
from PAGE 12
The closure of the Langley Mall IGA is the second blow to both the owners and customers: The Fort Langley IGA was destroyed by fire on Jan. 4, 2011.A new store is expected to be finished by the autumn. The Langley Mall store is convenient for seniors in nearby apartmemnts to reach on foot or on their scooters, but for many the closest grocery, stores, Price Smart on Fraser Highway at 201A Street, and Safeway at Fraser Highway and 208 Street, will be too far to reach. The IGA had also become a gathering place for seniors but that social
activity in Langley Mall suffered when the mall owners decided several years ago to build an open air shopping centre. The mall concourse east of Army and Navy, and the main entrance, have no roof, deterring socializing when the weather is cold and wet. Mayor Peter Fassbender indicated on Monday that the wait for an IGA replacement may not be long. “It’s sad for all the people in the area who have used the IGA for so many years,” he said, “but I’m confident that there will be something to replace. It as my understanding from the landlord is that they are in final negotiations for a food store.”

Girl Friday Errands Life’s Busy. We can help. Finding the time to do small chores becomes difficult when life gets busy. Be it welcoming a new baby, helping sick or aging family members, or just being overwhelmed with all there is to do. Little things like vacuuming the house, doing the laundry or picking up the dry-cleaning suddenly get delayed or left behind. But finding an affordable and reliable cleaning service or errand company can be just as hard. Sisters Lisa and Christina Goeller know this from personal experience. They lost both of their parents to terminal cancer within the last
three years, and personally cared for their mother while she was in her last stages of the disease. Finding extra help that offered premier service without a premier price was impossible. They knew there had to be a better alternative. Using what they had learned throughout their experience, the sisters started Girl Friday Errands, a company to provide the help that they weren’t able to find – errand, household and driving services, in one easy location and at a fair price from people who understand and truly desire to help others. “The idea came about as we were helping our mother battle through terminal colon cancer,” said president and co-founder, Lisa. “Your life changes as your focus becomes the sole care of that person – but this

BUSINESS PROFILE doesn’t mean that life doesn’t still go on around you. You’re working to pay the bills, and still need to do the grocery shopping, take the dog for a walk, and at some point the house does need to get vacuumed. Add that on top of the doctor’s appointments, prescription pick-ups and additional responsibilities when caring for a sick loved one and it can all get a little overwhelming.” Unlike many other cleaning companies, support workers, and errand businesses, Girl Friday Errands will try not to say no to many of the services you need. “The goal of the company is to provide an all-in-one solution,” Lisa said. “We don’t want to be a company that has a long list of “no we don'ts.” We will do anything that needs to be done. We’ll change light bulbs, we’ll hang paintings, we’ll do laundry, we’ll pot plants. You name it, I’ve probably done it for my clients. Even if they don’t ask me to, if I notice something that needs to be done I’ll do it for them.” Girl Friday Errands gives you supreme service without the butler and concierge feel. Everything is completed to the best of their ability and as efficiently as possible, guaranteed. “We go that extra mile, which means we get into the nooks and crannies and do a proper

Health Edition
Mayors Lead by Example.
Staying healthy isn’t necessarily about spending a fortune on diet plans and fitness classes. There are many ways to live an active lifestyle without spending a cent. Just ask the Langley Township and City mayors. Both use free services provided by the municipalities to help maintain their health. Township Mayor Jack Froese says one of his favourite healthy pastimes is to bike along the Fort to Fort trail in Fort Langley. “It’s hard to get a routine with so many things going on all the time. In this job it is very difficult, a lot of chicken dinners. I try to stay away from all the breads,” he said with a laugh. “We have fantastic trails and green belts. The recreation centres are priced affordably. It’s all about fitness, lifestyle and healthy eating.” For Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, being part of the Healthy Community Challenge 2012, has forced him to stay on track. He works out at the gym three times a week,
has a treadmill at home, and tries to take the stairs rather than an elevator or escalator whenever possible. “Once I’m through the challenge, my challenge will be to keep up with the routine, with my walking, running, and also some of the core exercises I have been doing,” Fassbender said. The big shock for him came 11 years ago when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, gallstones and Type 2 diabetes. Staying healthy is now more than just a choice, its a requirement. “Do something,” he said. “Walk, ride a bike, get on a treadmill, participate in some of our activities, get kids outside and off computers. They are not complicated things. We need to change our lifestyle from dealing with disease when it comes along to preventing it from happening in the first place.” With summer just around the corner, now is
the perfect time to explore the parks, trails, greenbelts and many recreational activities the Langley’s have to offer. The Township’s Summer Kick off Party is coming up on June 23 at W.C. Blair Recreation Centre, Walnut Grove Community Centre and Willoughby Community Centre where kids ages 3-12 can play games with Township’s summer day camp staff and sample some of the activities coming up this summer. Loonie and Toonie swims are also being held throughout the summer on Saturdays at W.C. Blair from 2-5 p.m. and on Sundays at Walnut Grove Community Centre from 9:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m. Langley City has both walking and running
clubs that meet on a weekly basis. Or for $2 per year you can purchase a PRAC CARD and have access to tennis rackets, basketball rentals and more at the Douglas Recreation Centre. Plus coming up this summer, the City is hosting Dancing in the Park at Douglas Park with lessons in ballroom, Latin and swing.

A bunch of good news for your health An extensive survey, financed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, has shown the numerous benefits of plants, flowers and gardening in general on the environment and on peoples’ physical and mental health. It has been observed, for example, that plants possess anti-stress characteristics. Sure enough, having plants inside the home can lower blood pressure by one to four units. Another study done in the United States shows that gardening is a hobby which can increase our level of satisfaction with life and improves our general state of health. This research has established that gardeners have a better appetite for life and show
Community Gardens
more determination faced with day-to-day problems. Gardeners have better temperaments, are more optimistic and happier. In short, they seem to be much more positive about life than those who do not garden. Besides which, researchers have found that plants have a calming effect, no doubt because they remind a lot of us of our roots in the countryside. They also help people to renew their bond with nature. Finally, gardening contributes to our physical health as it requires us to walk, change position constantly and expend lots of energy. Keeping physically active by working in the garden has, therefore, a beneficial effect on our general state of health.
Learn to grow your own food, get close with nature and get your hands dirty through one of many community gardens Langley has to offer. A community garden is a place where residents can purchase individual plots within one large collective garden to cultivate. Instead of using paid staff, the gardens are shaped by the individual members who care for them, making each site unique from the other. Many of the community gardens in Langley are managed through the Langley Environmental Partner’s Society, with other operated by private groups. The gardens managed by the Langley Environmental Partner’s Society include:

Let’s Get Growing Gardening is a popular pastime for people of all ages and abilities and a great way to stay healthy and active. People with limited abilities can make some changes to make gardening easier for themselves. Raised garden beds or container gardening eliminates the stooping and bending associated with traditional gardening. With containers choose lightweight pots ex. fiberglass or plastic, place the containers on a counter or table and do all the work at a comfortable height. Choosing low-maintenance plants is another option. Plants that don’t require as much pruning or repotting. Look for tools with larger grips and handles to make gardening easier.

Having a well stocked pantry makes preparing easy, healthy meals at home a cinch. A well stocked pantry is the backbone of any successful home cook. On a busy weekday or weekend shop we tend to focus on the fresh food and neglect our pantries. We buy meat, milk, cheese and eggs but a really great cook is only as good as what they can take out the pantry and work their magic on. Organized pantries have the ability to inspire creativity. At a glance couscous, nuts and dried fruit can be made into an amazing salad, no shopping required. You can find a dozen meals lurking in a tin of tuna. A jar of marmalade or preserves can easily be turned into syrup for pancakes or transformed into a dressing for salad. A truly well stocked pantry goes well beyond pasta, bread crumbs and canned tomatoes. Good quality chocolate, mustard, vanilla, capers, sun dried tomatoes, quinoa, canned beans, honey etc. are all key elements required to take something simple to the next level. You can easily spend a fortune on take out and rotisserie chickens because when you get home from work at 6:45 and you would like to eat dinner before breakfast it can be discouraging when you don’t have a plan. Coming home
at 6:45 to a well stocked pantry can mean dinner is no more than 15 or 20 minutes away. Cooking dinner from the pantry is a great way to get your creative juices flowing and take you mind off the stresses of the day. Have a glass of wine and tuck into the pantry. Make a salad from the canned beans, create a delicious glaze on the fly for a piece of grilled chicken, boil some pasta and make a sauce from sun dried tomatoes and some fixings from the fridge. I know it sounds a bit radical to think you can make dinner without a plan but it’s true and if your pantry is well stocked you sort of do have a plan – you just need to put it all together. Keep a list in your pantry – I use a note pad that is sitting on the top shelf, as I think of things I need or run out of I add it to the list. I take the list with me when I am shopping and try to add a new item or two every couple of weeks just to keep life interesting. Stock up your pantry and have some fun, life is short so you might as well enjoy dinner. Angie Quaale Well Seasoned Gourmet Food Store

Quinoa Salad Quinoa is now probably one of the more ubiquitous of the ancient grains. You’ll see it being used a lot more on menus these days. With a relatively quick cooking time, nutritious value and absence of gluten, it’s an excellent choice for health conscious gourmets. Be sure to try Red Quinoa if you can find it. Ingredients: 2 cups Quinoa 4 cups water, boiled 1 tomato, small dice 2 carrots, brunoise ½ cup Sultana raisins 1 cup chopped parsley, thyme and chives
¼ cup toasted pumpkin seeds 1 shallot 1 lemon, juiced 100 ml soy sauce or Bragg’s 250 ml canola, grapeseed or olive oil to taste salt & pepper
Method: 1. Add the boiled water to the Quinoa in a small pot or glass pan, cook in a 3500 oven for 16-20 minutes until all the moisture has been absorbed. Remove from the pan, spread on a tray or plate to cool. 2. For the vinaigrette: in a blender, combine the lemon juice, soy sauce, 1 tbsp of raisins and shallot and puree. Slowly drizzle the oil while blending the mixture until the dressing is emulsified. Check the seasoning; adjust with salt or more lemon juice if needed. 3. In a bowl, mix together the cooled Quinoa, tomato, carrots, raisins, pumpkin seeds, fresh herbs and the vinagrette. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chef ’s Tip: This salad will keep well for a few days in the refrigerator. If you’re planning to prepare this recipe in advance, simply reserve the fresh herbs to be chopped and added right before serving.

To prevent all of these unpleasant symptoms, lots of fluids should be consumed two to three hours before participating in any physical activity. Eating a balanced meal containing carbohydrates, such has grain products, fruits and vegetables as well as a small amount of meat, will give you a maximum amount of energy, will prevent you feeling hungry and will increase the body’s fluid levels.

What is Fibromyalgia?
Health Matters
High blood pressure is normally thought of as a major risk factor for heart attacks and strokes, but have you considered how it also affects other organs in the body? Your brain, for example, can be damaged by uncontrolled blood pressure, leading to a condition known as vascular dementia and possibly contributing to the development of Alzheimer’s. Be sure to manage your blood pressure and keep it in the optimal range. A variety of factors can temporarily increase your blood pressure readings. Consuming caffeine and/or smoking in the hour before testing can produce elevated results, as can having a full bladder. Be sure to sit and rest for 5 minutes before taking a reading. Some people can experience anxiety over having a blood pressure check (termed “white coat syndrome”) and doing home readings may be the solution to getting accurate results. Up to 20% of people can suffer from white coat hypertension and may end up being treated for high blood pressure unnecessarily. Conversely, a

number of people can have masked hypertension which may not be recognized during routine office checkups and carries the same risks BOB SANGHA as untreated high blood Pharmacist, BSc pressure. Wearing a special 24-hour blood pressure monitor can help identify these patients, as well as regular home blood pressure checks. Home monitoring is an effective means of tracking your blood pressure when done correctly. Sit quietly for 5 minutes with your back and feet supported. Use the cuff on your bare arm, with your elbow resting on a surface at heart level. Take 3 readings to get an average (the first is usually the most inaccurate) and record the results and date/time to share with your physician. Weekly readings are generally all that’s required. Choosing the right home blood pressure monitor is key to getting accurate results. Talk to our pharmacists to ensure your needs are met.

"Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes chronic muscle and soft tissue pain and tenderness on both sides of the body, above and below the waist. Fibromyalgia does not damage the body, destroy the joints, or cause any internal organ problems, but the pain may be severe enough to interfere with work and other activities... People often have trouble sleeping because of the pain. There may also be stiffness, weakness, and fatigue." (Definition taken from the B.C. Health Guide)

LeafSource stops customers pain within days! “It works! I’ll take another two bottles please!”
This coming from a customer who had tried every other natural remedy under the sun in the past few years to take away her pain. Ian, the owner of the health food store couldn’t believe his ears. He had finally found the perfect product to stop his customer’s miseries. This is what every owner of a health food store dreams about, a natural product that receives so many outstanding testimonials on such a wide variety of health issues. “I had recommended a new product called LeafSource, which we recently started carrying. We have had tremendous success with this product, and almost everyone we have recommended it to over the last few months has were so bad just one week earlier, come back and thanked us over that the pain was unbearable but now has completely subsided.” and over again” said Ian. Before trying LeafSource, the By now you are probably wonderwoman had complained about her ing what is LeafSource and why ongoing joint pain and was at her is it so effective?

people get their mobility and zest for life back. Millions of people seek treatment for their joint and inflammation problems by resorting to expensive, toxic prescription drugs (i.e. NSAIDs) with multiple side effects. These range from nausea and vomiting to serious intestinal disorders (bleeding, gas, pain) and even kidney and liver failure. Isn’t that too large a price to pay for a little pain relief!? LeafSource is a safe alternative to these destructive antiinfl ammatory drugs that cause more problems than they solve. There are absolutely no side effects and it doesn’t interfere with any other medications. Controlled experiments and observations have revealed that LeafSource is a potent antiinflammatory that has been shown to bring a reduction to inflammation and pain within a few days. People notice great results in terms of more energy and less pain by taking anywhere from 2 to 6 capsules/ day. Typical maintenance is usually 1 capsule twice daily. This product gets results! LeafSource is scientifically validated through more than 10 years of research at 4 universities, including the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mercer University. Aside from its incredible anti-infl ammatory and pain reducing ability, it has also been shown to improve the performance of your daily nutrition and vitamin programs. It helps increase the absorption of vital nutrients, which in turn

helps these nutrients work better. Better absorption = better results! It’s almost as if they have become supercharged! LeafSource has also been shown to help enhance energy levels, improve intestinal health, strengthen hair, skin and nails and improve immune function. To see someone go from intense pain to a new lease on life within a week is truly incredible. Imagine being able to move freely without pain. Who wouldn’t want to get out of bed in the morning with more energy? It’s amazing how much of this stuff we take for granted, until it’s gone! Ian adds, “I often recommend that Leaf- Source be taken with other natural joint products in order to help them work better and provide even faster relief. One of the things I hear most often from people who have tried LeafSource is they just plain feel better, have more energy and less pain. We’re so confi dent, we guarantee LeafSource 100%! That alone should be enough to try this incredible product.”

angley’s Charlene Crawford is climbing into the director’s chair for Gallery 7’s upcoming production of The Fantasticks — a timeless story of young love, innocence, and self-discovery. The Abbotsford theatre company concludes its 2011-12 theatre season with a musical sensation by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, considered the longest running musical in theatre history. “I’m so thrilled to see that such an incredibly talented group of theatre artists, both on and off the stage, has been assembled to bring this production to life,” said the theatre’s executive artistic director, Ken Hildebrandt. “I think audiences will really delight in the charming music, the amazing singing and the humorous — if not slightly bizarre — storyline. There’s a reason this play has been running offBroadway for over 50 years — it’s a perfect presummer treat.” Set on a simple platform suggesting a timeless period and nameless location, a story of love plays out as young sweethearts enjoy innocent

The ensemble will be in New York June 4 to June 11 and will be the headline performers at the festival from June 8 to 10. In the ensemble’s 31-year history, they have travelled to Japan, annually to Hawaii, as well as throughout theU.S. and across Canada, but this is the group’s first visit to the Big Apple. Seventeen students aged 13 to 22 will be under the direction of musical director Peter Luongo. Ensemble members are looking forward to sharing their ukulele playing style with theparticipants of this well- established festival. The tour won’t be all work and no play for the students, though, as they are also looking forward to touring the city and taking in some of New York’s famous museums. They will also see a Broadway musical and participate in an acting workshop hosted by Broadway actors. Set your PVRs or tune into ABC’s Good Morning America on Thursday, June 7, and you may well see the ukulele students entertaining.

Kwantlen First Nations art in spotlight at the museum KURT LANGMANN Black Press
The talents of Kwantlen First Nation artists were in the spotlight when the Langley Centennial Museum opened its newest exhibit, “Here and Now: Contemporary Kwantlen First Nations Art� earlier this month. Featuring the work of Brandon Gabriel and Phyllis Atkins, the exhibit highlights the connection between Kwantlen First Nation’s past and present. Works in the exhibit explore the diverse methods and inspirations of both artists, and many pieces have particular significance for the entire Kwantlen First Nation. One of the most substantial pieces is a 25-foot canoe. Over the years, the canoe has travelled down many exciting and challenging waterways. It has recently undergone refurbishments, including a new frame, seating, and gunnel made entirely from Stanley Park cedar that fell during the great winter storm of 2006.
The canoe was painted by Gabriel and was given a proper name at the exhibit’s opening reception: “hiyakw e te stahluxw� which is hun’cem’enum (Salish language) for “Chief of the River.� Atkins’ oil paintings also depict the community of the Kwantlen. Many of her paintings express the Kwantlen’s journey of life and the sacredness of precious resources. Her “Salmon� painting represents the importance of the salmon industry to Kwantlen peoples. This work also is inspired by her husband’s carvings, which are on display at the corner of River Road and Mavis Street in Fort Langley. The full house at the opening enjoyed a salmon dinner, a blanketing ceremony, and a traditional canoe blessing with drums and songs, which was the first of its kind for the Kwantlen First Nation in 100 years. The exhibit continues until August 29.

Kids triathlon race coming to Walnut Grove GARY AHUJA Times Sports
Organizers of a new triathlon race coming to Langley this summer are focusing on ‘completing’ rather than ‘competing.’ “We celebrate participation; focusing on the achievement of each young individual, our goal it to inspire self-confidence and motivate children to stay
active through sport,” said Tara Melville, who along with her husband Brad run the SunRype TriKids Triathlon Series. The series began in Ontario in 2009 and came outside of the province for the first time last year, with a race in Kelowna. This July, the series expands to the Township, with a race at the Walnut Grove Community Centre. It has also added races
in Alberta. Since it started, more than 8,000 kids of all levels of ability have participated, Melville said. “The races emphasize having fun while combining three healthy lifestyle sports: swimming, biking and running,” she said. “We create memorable events where the kids are the focus and their accomplishment is celebrated by their family and
friends.” The race is for youth ages three to 15. The Langley race will be held on July 29, beginning at 8:30 a.m. with staggered start times for the various age groups. The race begins in the pool at the Walnut Grove Aquatic Centre, switches to a bike course loop on a closed road and in the parking lot of Walnut Grove Secondary, and then
concludes with the run portion, which will take place on nearby trails and grass with the finish line on the school’s track. The swim length varies from 20m to 300m, the bike course is from 500m to 10-km and the run is from 100m to 3-km. Partial proceeds from the race go towards B.C. Children’s Hospital and the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario. To date, $53,000 has been raised.

SkyHawks fall in Valley final GARY AHUJA Times Sports
In a battle of the birds, it was the Fraser Falcons soaring at the expense of the Stafford SkyHawks. The two Grade 8 rugby teams squared off at Abbotsford’s Yale Secondary on May 23 in the Fraser Valley championship final, with the Falcons prevailing 41-5. “We had a couple of key injuries, and that hurt,” said Stafford coach Kyle Anderson. “But overall, they (Fraser)

Stafford finished 5-1 in league play — and won the Langley Shield as the top Grade 8 team in the district — and then 2-1 in the Fraser Valley playoffs.

The teams had met three times previously this season, including twice in rugby sevens. Stafford won both of those matches, but lost the other. Despite the defeat, it was a great season for the SkyHawks, which boasts a relatively young rugby program which is in just
The Brookswood Bobcats are left to wonder what might have been. The Grade 8/9 girls soccer team had an early 1-0 lead in the Fraser Valley championship game, but conceded the equalizer late in the first half, and then the winning goal a dozen minutes into the second half as the top-seed Earl Marriott Mariners won 2-1. The game was played at South Surrey Athletic Park on May 24.
“We had some unfortunate injuries in key positions,” said Dave Da Costa, who coaches alongside his daughter, Brianna. One of those injuries happened in the Fraser Valley final, with the Bobcats player sent to hospital with a head injury which required overnight hospitalization, the coach said, adding she was released the following morning. Brookswood was the second seed at the eightteam championships. “Earl Marriott was a very strong team,” he said.

At the start of the season, Da Costa said he was not sure what the season held for the team. “We started with a mixed bag, with players all coming from different coaches,” he said. “It is amazing how they managed to pull together and become so strong.” “I am just really proud of the girls,” added Brianna Da Costa. “Everyone put their heart into it, and that is all you can ask.”
“And our team played exceptionally well.” Nicole Gracie opened the scoring about 20 minutes into the game, but that was not enough against a strong Mariners team which outscored its foes 22-2 during five regular season games.

Lakers silence Thunder in OT The Langley Thunder are still searching for their first win after dropping a 6-4 overtime decision to the Burnaby Lakers. The senior A Thunder hosted the Lakers on May 23 at the Langley Events Centre. Langley rallied back from an early deficit to force overtime, but could not complete the comeback, surrendering the only two goals of the 10-minute overtime period. The Thunder dropped to 0-2 on the season. The Lakers jumped ahead 2-0 early in first and took a 3-2 lead into intermission. Joel McCready tied the score at four early in the third and the Thunder had a great chance for their first lead, as they had a two-man advantage for two minutes, but failed to net the go-ahead goal. The Thunder host the Nanaimo Timbermen at the LEC tomorrow (Wednesday) at 7 p.m. ••••• An eight-goal third period helped the Langley Jr. Thunder win backto-back games for the first time this season.

We stand together humbled as we hand her over to the Lord, who in turn will hold her warm, give her peace and protect her always. Sally is survived by her husband Thomas Frederick, daughters Tammy (Dennis), Penny (Rick), grandchildren Michelle (Brad), Melissa, and Tyler. Great grandchildren Lauryn, Kinley and Ava.

E. David White 73, of Langley B.C., passed away May 24, 2012 after a courageous battle with cancer. David is survived by his loving wife Muriel, daughter Heather (Kennedy), granddaughters Megan, Emmerson and Parker (Kennedy), brother Ron and three nephews and one niece. David was born on July 16, 1938 in Charlottetown, P.E.I. He is predeceased by his parents Edwin and Violet and a beloved son Mark. He spent the majority of his early and adult life in Edmonton and his career led him from finance in the Credit Union organization to his retirement in 2003 as Planned Giving Director at the University of Alberta Hospital Foundation. He was active in Scouting, and had a life long love of singing and the theatre. He was a past President of the Edmonton Burns Club and since he and Muriel retired to Langley in 2007 he was active in the Langley Community Chorus, the Handle Singers and the Probus Club of Langley.
