Langley may have cat killer, SPCA fears Three dead felines found in Brookswood last month MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Jonathan Pichette, 17, tends to horse Rio at the end of a six-week therapeutic horse program at a Langley farm. The program is part of Surrey Memorial Hospital’s Adolescent Day Treatment Program for youth who are struggling with psychiatric difficulties.

or teens living with mental illness, their world can feel out of control at times. At other times it can be frustrating and isolating. But a new program that brings teens together with rescue horses gives youth with mental health issues a new sense of empowerment and a bond with some special “gentle giants.” On Monday, Rachelle Sall, 15, and Jonathan Pichette, 17, graduated from a six-week program at Langley’s Healing Heart Sanctuary where the two teens, who have mental health issues, learned to lead horses. “I’ve learned a lot about myself. “I really learned how to control my emotions,” said Pichette. “When I had to pick up a horse’s hoof I was really anxious about it, but I had to control my

fear. I told the horse that I was anxious but I will do this.” He explained that the “more you accept your emotions, the more willing the horse is to work with you.” Later, he showed how he calmed Rio, by putting his hand where the horse’s heart is and putting a hand on his own heart at the same time. Breathing deep breaths through the belly, a horse will synch up his breathing with the human and soon Rio’s head lowered, his eyelids drooped and his ears came forward. Pichette had relaxed the horse. The Surrey teen has found the program so rewarding that he has began volunteering at the Aldergrove horse ranch. Linda-Ann Bowling, Healing Heart Sanctuary owner and facilitator of the therapeutic horse program she calls ‘Youth with a Purpose … a New Kind of Horsepower,’ said horses are highly intuitive and react to the energy people

give off. “Horses are sensitive animals and respond to people’s emotions, moods, and non-verbal language,” said Bowling. “Through their work with the horses, youth learn healthy boundaries, responsibility, assertiveness and a variety of ways of interacting more positively with others.” The youth don’t actually ride the rescue horses, but form a leadership role with the large animals, bonding with them by grooming and taking them through obstacle courses. The youth participating in the horse power program come from the Adolescent Day Treatment Centre in Surrey, which supports teens, aged 13 to 18, who are experiencing severe psychiatric difficulties such as psychotic, mood and anxiety disorders. They are also struggling with their academic, family, and social functioning.

Maple Ridge isn’t the only community dealing with a potential cat killer. Three cats have been killed in the Brookswood area in May, said SPCA’s Lorie Chortyk. Langley RCMP are also investigating, but the SPCA is the lead agency in the case. These cats have died under “suspicious circumstances” and most likely at the hands of a human, not an animal, she said. This isn’t the first time Brookswood has had reports of a cat killer. In March, a cat was dismembered. The SPCA isn’t ruling out that a coyote could have caused a few of these deaths, because the attacks can look similar. But they do fear these felines died at the hands of a disturbed person. In Maple Ridge, more than 20 cats have been killed in a year, with nine mutilated in the past two weeks. The killer is placing cat heads on people’s porches, one in a plastic bag. continued, PAGE 7

Torch run passes through Langley MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Monique TAMMINGA/Langley Times

Many members of Langley RCMP joined Special Olympics athletes in the 22nd annual Special Olympics torch run on Tuesday.

The rain stayed away and the weather warmed up, just as Langley RCMP officers and several Special Olympic athletes ran the 22nd annual Law Enforcement Torch Run from the local detachment on Tuesday. Around 20 Langley Mounties and several Special Olympics athletes were escorted by a full fleet of Vancouver Police motorcycle officers for the Langley leg of the run to Douglas Park. At the park, a slo-pitch game was held with SO athletes, students and police officers participating. Prior to the run, a fundraising barbecue was held at the detachment where dozens of police officers donated money to the cause. Special Olympic spokesperson Megan Gritani-Livingston said Langley has been such a huge supporter of the athletes over the years and this year is extra important. The 2013 Special Olympics BC

Summer Games are being held in Langley. More than 1,100 athletes will take part in 11 sporting events here next summer, between July 11 to 14. In the 22 years the torch run has taken place, law enforcement personnel in this province have raised $3.4 million for Special Olympics. Langley Special Olympian Chris Lawrie was there to light the torch and hold it for the first bit of the run. An avid baseball player, he said his SO team just won a tournament on the weekend. Special Olympian Pat Johnson is running every leg of the run, which had just come from Chilliwack and through Abbotsford before touching down in Langley. The run was then off to Surrey and White Rock. Langley RCMP Const. Keith Rogers is participating in his first torch run. “They came to talk to us about it and it’s for a great cause, so I wanted to be involved,” he said.

Doug on cloud nine during ride The day starts in an empty parking lot. A cool breeze blows, and the clouds tease with hints of rain. A deep rumble begins, but rather than rain bringing thunder, it is the sound of riders beginning to arrive. Black leather, shining chrome. The smell of power. Closing his eyes, Cam Penner absorbs the sensations, and takes the hand of the boy who made it happen. Today is Doug’s day. These are his friends arriving. Doug is Cam’s nine-year-old son, and the motorcyclists and others, friends and strangers, are there for the annual Ride for Doug, which raises money for Muscular Dystrophy Canada. Doug has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a genetic disorder which leaves the body unable to manufacture dystrophin, a protein that shapes muscles and keeps them functioning properly. The following is Cam’s reflection of Sunday’s Ride for Doug, the sixth since 2007: Bike after bike arrives. Riders from all points of the compass, harking news of the weather. A drizzle here, a cool breeze there. Nothing that can stop these riders from coming. They are here for Ride For Doug.

Doug is on cloud nine. He wanders from rider to rider with a keen sense of purpose. He remembers who has come before, and welcomes those who have come for the first time. Bikes are admired, and many questions are asked and answered by patient bikers with soft hearts. And still they arrive. The black and chrome is punctuated by bright flashes of colour. It doesn’t matter what style of bike you ride today. Long sweeping cruisers intermingle with high strung sport bikes, a peppering of dual purpose bikes providing a dirty contrast to the gleam and shine. Once assembled, the ride is ready to move out. Eighty-eight bikes speak with but a single voice, forming a column of support stronger than any bridge girder, and stretching further than the eye can see. Doug rides up at the front with me. His sister Samantha, on a bike beside him. His mother Allison on a bike behind him. I can feel him taking it in, turning to watch the long snake of bikes travel up and down the undulating road. This is the point where I am usually moved to tears. This show of support strikes deep to the core. There is

nothing in the world that can match such an overwhelming experience. And it’s not just the riders. To get to this point has been hours and hours of work by a multitude of volunteers. Showing their support with the horsepower of their actions. They are with us on the road — perhaps not on two wheels, but definitely in spirit. We head through the roads of Langley, Abbotsford, and cross into Mission. The weather is holding, the leather staying dry. Our first stop approaches. At the BC Hydro Recreation Area by Ruskin Dam the riders are greeted by an enthusiastic team of volunteers. Pointing the way and cheering us on. I can feel Doug’s face beaming behind me. Nearly 100 bikes stream into the lot, and the riders dismount for a stretch. Stories are being shared with friends and strangers alike, and smiles abound. The volunteer team at the rest stop provides water — enthusiastically delivered to the riders by two boys around Doug’s age. This is not their first Ride For Doug either.These bearcontinued, PAGE 18

Royal Canadian Legion executive members Lillian Witt and Cy Tremblett lay their poppies at a wreath on the cenotaph outside of the Langley Legion building on Wednesday, during a ceremony to mark the 68th anniversay of the D-Day invasion.

‘Fighting battles on many different fronts’ Langley’s Legion Branch #21 has found itself at a crossroads and is working to build its next generation of members BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

The band is striking up in the corner and the steady hum of a dozen different conversations fills the room as people pull up chairs to visit over a few drinks and maybe enjoy a game of cards or throw some darts in the upstairs hall of the Langley Legion. It’s a typical Friday afternoon crowd — old friends catching up on the week’s news. Something you don’t see here, though, is a lot of young faces. “We have an old image,” says Walter Poustie, a 27-year member of the Royal Canadian Legion. When people think of the Legion, it’s as “a place where old soldiers went to drink and tell war stories,” adds Walter, who started out as a member of the pipe band and is a former member of the Legion executive. And, as an organization, it’s one that only comes to mind for many Canadians each Nov. 11, as they gather at community cenotaphs to remember the

nation’s fallen soldiers. The truth is, it’s much more than that, says Walter. It’s an organization with a rich history of not only honouring and aiding the nation’s war veterans, but of fostering the development of young Canadians as well, through academics, athletics and programs promoting cultural awareness. Since the 1950s, for example, young track and field athletes from across Canada have been supported by a Legion program which helps with their development, and hosts an annual meet. This year, the event will be held in Prince Edward Island, but in August, 2013 and again in the summer of 2014, Langley will host between 800 and 1,000 athletes from across Canada. While they are here, the athletes will train for a week and spend two days competing. “There’s a lot of money put into that,” says Walter. But the outcome speaks for itself, he adds. continued, PAGE 5

“Eighty seven per cent of athletes who participate in our track and field program go on to enter the Olympic program.” Among them is Langley heptathlete Georgia Ellenwood, who is aiming to compete in the 2016 Summer Games in Rio De Janeiro. Then there are youth ambassador programs and poster and essay contests tied into Remembrance Day. “Two years ago, a nine-year-old from Langley won Dominion (national competition) for poetry. It was done really well,” says Janice Poustie, Walter’s wife and president of the Langley Legion Branch #21 executive. Still, attracting younger people and dispelling that “old” image has remained a challenge. Between its aging membership, ongoing financial troubles and society’s changing interests and priorities, the Legion is “fighting battles on many different fronts,” says Walter. “We’re at a crossroads. Our old veterans are disappearing, we’re in competition with pubs and casinos.” “Over the last years our supporters and members are starting to decline. They don’t go out in the evenings like they used to,” says Janice It was another member who talked Walter into Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times joining the Legion nearly three decades ago — From left: Langley Legion branch #21 presibut it didn’t take much convincing, he admits. dent Janice Poustie, second vice presi“(It was) all of the activities and what the dent Barb Prystupa and first vice president Legion stood for — I have a real soft spot for Shirley Blair. veterans,” says Walter, who first joined the White Rock branch before coming to Langley.

Teens taking part come from Langley, Delta, Surrey and White Rock and attend the program four days a week for six months. As the expression goes, “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.” The teens may have been led to this program but they are lapping up the time with the “gentle giants,” said Sall. Out of the six horses she worked with in the program, she bonded with the only female horse, Genevieve. Sall, who is shy herself, bonded with the most confident and difficult horse in the group. “If you aren’t the clear leader, she won’t go with you,” said Bowling. “She is more than happy to give you horse hugs, but won’t move an inch if she sense any skepticism.” Sall said Genevieve has given her a confidence she didn’t have before. The huge, beautiful mare has forced her to be a leader and the reward is the trust the animal has placed in the Surrey teen. Sall has been able to walk Genevieve through an obstacle course and over a bridge, something many horses are reluctant to do. The centre’s youth care worker Kristine Bateman has already seen the benefits of the program. “It’s nice for them to step outside of themselves for a while. The skills they are learning here are in the moment decision making. They are problem solving on the spot and learning that it’s OK to ask for help,” said Bateman. “By the time these teens get to us (at the centre), they have been struggling for a while. “They’ve spent a lot of time avoiding things like school. This is giving them life lessons about perseverance.” Leading a horse is no easy task. As Bowling explained, horses are constantly testing your leadership. Giving up would be an easy out for anyone and a defense mechanism for these kids, said Bateman. But she’s heard the kids say: “‘If I can get a horse to move and walk over a bridge, then I can finish this math question,’ or whatever task they found difficult before.” Bowling has been inspired by the teens’ willingness to learn. “We think it has gone amazing,” she said. “What we saw was kids problem solving in the moment.” When the teens join the program, the horses don’t see them as youth, she explains. “We form a collective herd.

Just like humans, they have off days and they are “challenged by choice” not by force, just like the youth in this program. If they aren’t feeling up to it that day, they don’t have to participate. This is the first time time Fraser Health has partnered with Healing Heart Sanctuary. A total of $15,000 in funding from three donors to the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation has allowed the centre’s teens to take part in the Horse Power program. Thanks to this funding there will be a summer and fall session as well. And the demand is certainly there, because one in five children will experience a mental health challenge, according to Dr. Karen Tee, manager of Fraser Health’s youth and young adult mental health services.

Residents urged to keep cats indoors for safety from PAGE 1

“If possible, keep your cats inside or if they go outside watch them,” said Chortyk. “Every cat in Brookswood is a potential target.” In August 2010, a Brookswood resident found two dismembered cats. Police didn’t release the nature of how the two cats died, but they thought it was suspicious. Necropsies weren’t performed on those cats but the recent cat corpses have been sent away, said Chortyk. The SPCA is desperate to stop this person or persons from killing any more animals in Maple Ridge and Langley. “We want to stop the animal suffering, but also whomever is doing this really needs help.” She believes the way to crack this case is to get tips from the public.

They have also been disovered on school grounds and underneath missing cat posters, Chortyk said. Those acts are unlikely to be the work of a coyote or dog, she said. All the cats have been killed in the same manner, either cut in half with a saw or sharp knife, it appears. The remains of a cat were found by students at an elementary school while the leg of a calico cat was found blocks away. The SPCA has called in a renowned forensic crime scene veterinarian to help in the case. Dr. Melinda Merck will determine if they died by human hands or by an animal attack. The SPCA asks that all cat owners in Brookswood be careful with their animals.

THEY SAY

Keep eye on rates

Calm waters

he real estate industry can breathe a sigh of relief, as can many homeowners — interest rates aren’t going up any time soon. The Bank of Canada said Tuesday that interest rate increases aren’t likely any time soon, given the economic uncertainty in Europe and many challenging economic situations across the world. In that environment, an interest rate increase will just cause more trouble. Nonetheless, homeowners with large mortgages would be wise to try to lock in low rates for as long as possible and, at the same time, do all they can to reduce their total debt. Interest rates will not stay this low forever, just as they didn’t stay at 20 per cent in the early 1980s. Those high rates had a lot to do with the last significant housing price correction in the Metro Vancouver area. At that time, some people simply walked away from their homes, as the mortgages had very high interest rates and the homes were going down in value. It was a situation very similar to that in many U.S. cities in the past four years. In B.C.’s Lower Mainland, the housing market has been very stable since the late 1980s. Prices have gone up, and down a little bit in the 1990s, but for the most part they have been on a steady upward trajectory. In recent years, prices have jumped to levels where many people are having difficulty buying a home. This is particularly true of single-family homes. Only low interest rates have kept many people in the market. While there is still affordable housing available in Langley, for the most part it is in the form of apartments. These are not suitable for all buyers, particularly those with growing families. Interest rates also have other effects, on retired people on fixed incomes. Low interest rates cut deeply into their purchasing power, as they are dependent on investment income for at least part of their income. A long period of low interest rates, as we have seen, can wreak havoc on pension plans. The low rates are at least partially responsible for many companies abandoning defined benefit plans, and placing more of the burden on planning for retirement on their employees. It all makes for many challenging situations. Saving is of limited benefit, but so is borrowing too much. The best approach is to keep expenses under control and pay close attention to interest rates.

ueen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne immediately following the death of her father King George VI on Feb. 6, 1952. Sixty years on, she is marking her Diamond Jubilee. At 86, she is the oldest reigning British monarch in over 1,000 years of history, the second longest reigning monarch (after Queen Victoria) and reigns over 134 million people in 16 countries as Queen. She is also head of the Commonwealth of Nations, with its 54 member countries. For someone whose image has been so enduringly steadfast and seemingly unchanging, she has in reality been anything but. Six decades is a long time to perfect the top job and the world has constantly moved beneath her feet. She never expected to become queen. Her destiny fell suddenly into place when King Edward Vlll abdicated to marry divorcee Wallis Simpson, which forced her father to become King George VI. All too soon she was grasping the orb and the sceptre and navigating her way through a world with an end game that would see the demise of the British Empire, the emergence of the European Union, a burgeoning British middle class through an explosion of immigrants, and a shift in social structures. Then came the disastrous 1990s. In 1992, the 40th anniversary of her accession, the marriages of three of her four children collapsed in messy, public scandals, fire destroyed part of Windsor Castle, and the public was taking a second look at why they were paying for everything royal. The death of Diana in 1997 was the wake-up call. The royals’ initial outof-touch harsh response was a public relations disaster. The monarchy’s reputation had tanked, leaving room in the collective mindset to question their expensive relevancy. They needed to change, and they did. With this weekend’s Diamond Jubilee the popularity of the Queen is at an all-time high. Like those 1,000 boats on the River Thames, Queen Elizabeth II has steered the monarchy into calm waters. —Chilliwack Progress The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Metro bureaucracy hits Langley Editor: Metro Vancouver regional authority is considering legal action over Township council’s support of development on the Trinity Western University property, as it does not conform to the regional growth strategy. The property is located in the ALR and is designated rural reserve, according to the regional growth strategy. These lands were designated green zone before the GVRD was replaced by the Metro Vancouver regional authority. The green zone boundaries were pretty much the same as the current rural reserve boundaries and very similar, in that they gave an outside authority a say on how Langley is to grow in the future. Prior to designating these lands as being part of the green zone, I had a chance to address the mayor and council of the day at one of their council meetings. The lands that were being proposed for the green zone included both ALR and non-ALR lands. I voiced my concern that with almost 80 per cent of Langley within the ALR boundaries, why would council want to give another authority the power to influence how Langley grows, on lands that were outside of the ALR boundaries?

The mayor directed this question to the planner who was present at the time. The planner advised council that there would be a process in place that would allow these boundaries to be amended. Council ended up approving the proposed boundaries for the green zone dedication. Well here we are. It appears as though we have indeed added another layer of bureaucracy to the planning process. It does not want the plan amended, and is not afraid to flex its bureaucratic muscle. My family and I Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times find this especially A horse grazes in a field Trinity Western frustrating, as we University would like to develop. own property that

is not in the ALR and has now been designated rural reserve. We wish we knew this before we bought the property in 1995 and paid a price based on the fact it was not in the ALR, and was located within a stone’s throw of a public school. I guess we’ll just wave to the kids being bussed from the schools that were or will be closed in the communities which council has designated rural reserve. They have no possibility of developing affordable housing and bolstering their school’s population. Tod McGovern, Langley

Not the best place to install a roundabout Editor: On a recent car trip, we turned north onto 232 Street from Fraser Highway, and were very annoyed that we couldn’t turn left (west) onto 56 Avenue, because of construction of the new roundabout. Had the Township posted a ‘take alternate route’ sign closer to Fraser Highway, we would have continued on Fraser Highway. As it was, we had to circle around through Wagon Wheel Crescent to turn around and double back. When we saw that the Township was going ahead with the roundabout, we both

immediately said that we wouldn’t be using that route again — ever. This intersection was always a big bottleneck during peak times with the four-way stop signs, but at least everything kept moving and there was a defined order of how to proceed. With the roundabout, there will be many who just ignore the proper order of entry, making others wait, and wait, and wait. Of all the intersections for this type of traffic control, this is one of the worst. Your recent article (The Times, May 29)

mentioned that there have already been a few accidents here. There will be many, many more. Road rage will likely rear its ugly head as well, given the high level of frustration that is inevitable. It’s not terribly smart thinking on Langley’s part, and we wonder about the quality of the planning department. Common sense does not seem to play a part in decisions like this one. Marilyn and Alex McDonald, Aldergrove

Noisy group wants to eliminate jobs Editor: If I am not mistaken, it was the Nazis who said if you tell a lie often enough, it will be accepted as the truth. That brings me to the large, or at least noisy, group of people that have bought into the theory of man-made global warming. They believe we are causing it, and we can do anything about it. What about the many volcanoes that are active on the planet now , and the forest fires that have been with us since the beginning of time. Can anyone explain this? They produce many times more carbon The

emissions than humans do. Is Iceland going to be given carbon credits? David Suzuki and his group of greenextremists have made a religion out of their cause, and chose to shut down many websites on Monday. They said it was justified. What the Conservative government is trying to do is to curb endless debate which prevents anything from getting done, and choking off progress. If the oil sands get shut down, there goes many of our jobs and prosperity. What are these green tree huggers going to go then — go on welfare? We must develop our

resources responsibly of course, but not shut our country down in order to please a few extremists. Incidentally, it was Suzuki who said a short time ago that anyone that didn’t believe in his version of global warming should be thrown in jail. Now who is choking off debate? It is his side of this issue that has choked off the scientists who do not believe in his erroneous theories. David J. Standcumbe, Langley

VOLUNTEERS THANKED Editor: The Fort Langley Mayday Committee would like to thank all those people who supported and volunteered with this year’s May Day festivities.This committee is made up of representatives from the BIA, Centennial museum, farm museum, historical Fort, Fort Langley citizens and headed by the Fort Langley Lions. Despite the inclement weather, we were able to deliver a fantastic parade and community activities. Thanks to our corporate sponsors: IGA, Homelife and Freybe’s. In addition, it needs to be mentioned that May Day would not happen without the May Day grant from the Township of Langley. Next year’s parade and May Day activities will be our 91st. The committee would like to see it not only survive but grow to be one of the finest festivals in B.C. To do this, we will need the continued support of our volunteers and sponsors. If you would like to help us out next year, please call Wendy at 604888-4051. Fred Jackson, May Day committee, Fort Langley Lions

GO TO BROOKSWOOD Editor: Re the “We Say” editorial in the May 31 edition, it states “This means more pressure on schools, particularly in Willoughby, which is far from being built out.” Well Willoughby has been built out quite enough already, and doesn’t need any more development. I think it’s time that the developers now gave Brookswood/Fernridge the privilege of being clear cut and paved over. Brian Johnson, Willoughby

EXCELLENT CARE Editor: I would like to express to our community how grateful I am for the staff of the Langley Memorial Hospital. During my recent surgery and subsequent hospital stay, the nurses of the emergency ward and surgical ward 2 north were experiencing staff shortages. However, their compassion and sincerity went beyond what I had expected in my time of dire need. This lack of nurses that has Langley and other areas on alert. I admit I did not always have faith in our hospital but during the situation I experienced, all doctors and nurses took extra time to help resolve my condition. Perhaps my case is a rare one, but thankfully I have Langley Memorial Hospital. Melissa H. Clark, Langley

Daughter’s illness inspires family to give back Tribute to Lily Hall raises nearly $10,000 in first few months MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

Lily Hall was born early in the morning on Dec. 30, 2011 with many complications. She was born in a breech delivery and cut off her own airway in the process. Where most babies have airways that are 8 mm in diameter, Lily’s was only 0.5 mm, making it almost impossible for

her to breathe on her own. Doctors had to perform CPR on her as soon as she was born and feared she may have brain damage from being without oxygen. Her reflexes did not work and she was not able to swallow. Doctors did not know what her rare condition was. But her family was determined to bring her home. Her mother, Sheri Hall, learned to operate a feeding tube and was able to bring her baby girl home for two weeks. Then one night something went wrong. Because Lily’s body was growing, but not her airway, she was inadvertently choking herself. One night she stopped breathing and turned blue. Sheri performed CPR and took her to the hospital. Eight days later she died.

“It has been very hard for us,” Hall said. “I didn’t know what to do because she was only alive for two months but I just felt like I needed to do something. The hospital and the people there were just so amazing. They really care about their job and about the kids and they do everything that they can to help. “I just needed something to make me feel that her short life wasn’t all a waste. Something to have to inspire people hopefully to give.” In order to show their appreciation to the doctors and staff at BC Children’s Hospital, the Hall family has set up a tribute fund in memory of their daughter to raise money for the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation. Since starting the page in February, they have already raised

$9,300. Hall is hopeful they can soon reach $10,000 and continue to raise even more through events in years to come. “I want them to be able to do research and learn why this happened to my daughter so we can prevent this from happening again,” she said. “They don’t really know what happened because it is so rare and there hasn’t been any research done on it.” For Hall’s two sons, ages four and six, it has been difficult to explain where their little sister went. “The four-year-old is not so in tune but the six-year-old has been very affected. Since his little brother was born, he has asked for a little sister and every day continued, PAGE 13

who are 10 or 11. “Most kids, when we’re young, we want to grow up and be firemen,” said City firefighter Dave Skidmore. “They have a ball,” he said of the children who line up each June for the chance to gear up and drag a dummy, carry a coiled hose and knock down a target with a charged hose. Introduced in 2008, the Junior Firefighter Challenge is always popular attraction at Community Day celebrations — at least, now that the kids know what it is. “The first year, we had it all set up and all the kids were standing on the sidewalk with no idea (what was happening),” said Skidmore. “The first kid, we essentially dragged

off the sidewalk and dragged through the course. “Then there was a line up to try it.” Once they’ve completed the course, the children can collect a small prize and parents will get the chance to speak with City firefighters about fire safety in the home. “Community Day gives us an opportunity in the park to continue with our goal of providing education for kids and parents,” said Skidmore. This year, the grownups will get a chance to play, too, as staff from a trio of restaurants on the Langley Bypass — Milestones, Red Robin and Coza — take on teams made up of City Council members, fire department administrators and RCMP to compete for bragging rights.

Summer Maintenance of Rural Boulevards and Ditches The Township of Langley uses three full-time and one seasonal roadside grass mower for ditch mowing. This equipment has predetermined routes or an assigned area to follow. If the equipment is pulled away to do a specific request, it only lengthens the time it takes to fully complete all the rural boulevards and ditches. If you have a request for mowing or brushwhacking, we ask that you be patient as we try to fit the work schedule in as efficiently as possible. The Township, along with Provincial and Federal agencies, has classified open channel water systems into three categories:

Worm Composting Workshops Worm composting is a great way to compost your food scraps and is perfect for small spaces and classrooms.

Class C ditches are deemed to have no fish or fish habitat issues whatsoever and only require notification for work to take place.

Come out to one of our interesting and educational workshops to learn more about these amazing “recyclers”!

How or when a ditch is cleaned depends on its classiﬁcation. Thank you for your understanding as we operate under these requirements.

Time:

Engineering Division 604.532.7300

Tuesday, June 12 2 - 4pm Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre 26770 - 29 Avenue

This includes all food scraps, bones, paper towels, napkins, and soiled paper. Participating in the Green Can program will help reduce disposal costs and is better for the environment.

Biker army ready to take on muscular dystrophy from PAGE 3

ers of water have volunteered before, and have taken the spirit of The Ride throughout their year — bearing the flag of Muscular Dystrophy on behalf of Doug. Another highlight takes place here. Samantha and her grandmother have spent the weekend baking cookies. Riders who are RFD veterans make a beeline for her basket. The smiles grow. Three hundred cookies are consumed faster than the starting grid at a Grand Prix race. It seems Samantha has found her own way to support Doug, and Allison and I feel a swelling of pride as sibling rivalry takes a back seat — at least for today. Back onto the road we go. Twisting and turning through Mission and some of my favourite streets. The pavement here isn’t as smooth, and the corners are tight and blind. These roads remind me of the challenges that muscular dystrophy families face con-

this? What disease dares to stand a chance in the face of Doug and his biker army? The miles fall away, and almost too soon we arrive back, the sun greeting us as it pushes away the last of the clouds. But not just the sun. The parking holds another radiant sight. Friends, family, and a host of others greet the returning riders with standing applause. As the bikes roll in, one after another, their engine still singing their song, the riders are treated to a royal arrival. Because they are all heros. Doug’s Heroes. We move inside to a BBQ. A welcome sight to the hungry riders. Tables fill with more than 300 riders and non-riders alike, and stories are swapped. Bridges are built across cultures, and friendships are established in a common cause. The mosaic of people is as colourful as the bikes parked outside. We have riders, extended family, friends. Nurses and researchers from BC Children’s hospital. Doug’s classmates, teachers, and adminis-

tinually: A bumpy ride through life, never knowing what is around the next bend. Gripping the bars and doing our best to navigate through a never ending series of challenges. But then I hear it — the sound of exhaust echoing off the hills beside the road. The thunder that tells me that I’m not riding alone up here. My loved ones are close, and the community has gathered to ride behind me. We can do this together. An hour or so later, we pull into the second rest stop. Through a quirk of fate, some of the riders near the back took a shortcut and ended up here first. We arrive to the sight of 50-plus bikes lined up and waiting, their riders just dismounting. The volunteers are some of Doug’s SEAs from school — joining in the celebration, and showing that they too are on Doug’s team fighting muscular dystrophy. My heart is strengthened with each mile. How can we not beat it with support like

tration. Local government is represented. We have families in the midst of their own battles with muscular dystrophy, and those who have lost loved ones to the disease. We celebrate with food, and with door prizes. We recognize the generosity of our volunteers and our sponsors, many of whom actually ride with us. I have the opportunity to share a bit of what it is like for our family, as we are currently involved in a research project to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy. I think I managed to hold back the tears this year, mostly. The proceeds of the ride will be used to fund research for a cure to Muscular Dystrophy. And then, it is back to the parking lot where we started. Doug insists on seeing each bike off, thanking them for their support and for the courage to face another year. As the engines fade away, their cry can still be heard in the distance. “We must beat

news Macfarlane Insurance Agencies Ltd. deeply regrets to announce that owner Dick Enns succumbed to ALS on Saturday June 2, 2012.

ick passed peacefully with his family by his side. Dick vowed he would never retire and he never did, continuing to come into the ofﬁce to visit with clients until his very last days.

In his passing, the ofﬁce invites our friends and clients to his memorial service and reception, being held on Monday June 11th at 11:30 am at Northview Church located at 32040 Downes Road Abbotsford, BC. Macfarlane Insurance was not just Dick’s business; it was a very important part of his life. He considered every client important and treated them with care and compassion. He loved to socialize and interact with our many customers, talking about holidays, the weather, family and of course; cars. Macfarlane Insurance will continue to provide the high standard of service with

the same pride, diligence and expertise that Dick has instilled in his children and staff over the years. We will continue to offer the personalized service and professionalism our customers have come to expect The business will continue to be owned and managed by the Enns family and the ofﬁce will continue to be run by his daughter, Marcy Enns who has worked at Macfarlane Insurance since 1996 and has been involved in every aspect of the business since then.

Environmental heroes honoured Twenty-one businesses and individuals have been nominated this year for the 2012 Langley Environmental Hero Award, initiated by MP Mark Warawa. The awards will be presented on Saturday, June 9 at the National Historic Site in Fort Langley, at 11 a.m. There are three categories: Individual, Business and Organization, and Youth. As part of the fort’s effort to regenerate its orchard, the award ceremony will include the winners planting a heritage apple tree. The public is invited to attend. The Langley Environmental Hero Award began in 2006 as a way to

acknowledge Langley’s grassroots efforts — big and small — to protect the environment. Environmental stewardship in Langley is an issue which people are passionate about. Nominations have since expanded to honour environmental initiatives by individuals, businesses, organizations, and youth. Due to the huge response, a nominee selection committee was formed, comprised of sponsor representatives with an interest in the environment. The 2012 nominees are so exceptional that the committee decided to add a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Home damaged after smoke-out A Walnut Grove family has been left temporarily without a home after an attempt to smoke out raccoons went awry. Township fire department spokesman Bruce Ferguson said that at about 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 29, a homeowner in the 9000 block

of 207A Street lit a fire outside his home, hoping to smoke out raccoons that had taken up residence in a hollow pillar. The fire spread, travelled up the pillar into the attic where it caused significant damage to the roof which will now have to be replaced.

GVHBA’s 19th annual Parade of Renovated Homes

Getting some renovation ideas The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association will hold its 19th annual Parade of Renovated Homes on June 10, sponsored by FortisBC. Starting at 10 a.m., the public will be able to tour eight professionally renovated homes in Burnaby, North Vancouver, Surrey and Vancouver. “Professional RenoMark renovators, many of them award winners, will be on site to offer expert advice and discuss their craftsmanship,” says GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson. “Project values range from $135,000 to more than $800,000, offering homeowners an abundance of ideas they can incorporate into their own

renovations.” The renovated homes include a 1950s bungalow, a 1920s heritage home, a bathroom makeover, a basement suite conversion, a wide-ranging interior and exterior renovation and a whole-house transformation. Admission is $10 for adults, and free for children 17 and under. A passport allowing you entrance into every home will be available at the homes. The homes will be open until 4 p.m., and it is recommended to map out your route as the homes will not be available for showings before or after the event. To find the list of participating homes, visit www.gvhba.org.

the elegant large-format porcelain tile flooring continues on the tub/shower surround. A unique feature of Omega is the thicker concrete floor slab and tripleglazed windows that are an integral part of every home. The floors feature more insulation and a thicker cement platform between the floors, which combine to make for an improved building structure. The triple-glazed windows help to isolate exterior sound, so you won’t be bothered by the bustling city noise. Both of these things are demonstrated at the Concord sales centre in Richmond. Guests are invited to jump on the floor to feel

the difference between the standard concrete floors and the Omega floors, and check out the difference in sound that the triple-glazing offers, in comparison to a standard window. If it’s convenience you’re looking for, Omega is certainly the place for you. Located in the heart of Richmond, you are just minutes away from transit, shopping, restaurants, recreation and education. The Vancouver International Airport is about 10 minutes from home, and downtown Vancouver is less than 20 minutes away. All remaining homes are under $399,900. For more information, visit omegaliving.ca or call 604-233-7748.

‘The ultimate low-rise development’

Finding some inspiration at Concord Paciﬁc’s Omega by Kerry Vital

European-inspired architecture comes to Richmond with Concord Pacific’s newest development, Omega. “(In) the Greek alphabet ‘Omega’ is often used to symbolize greatness and the ultimate,” says Concord VicePresident of Marketing Grace Man. “Omega, with its superior construction and refined design details, will raise the bar of similar medium-density projects and become the ultimate low-rise development.” With 245 one- and two-bedroom suites in two buildings, Omega has something for everyone, though Man says the one-bedroom plus study suites are already sold out. The homes range from 546 to 1,042 square feet. The entire development has a European feel, with a lush central courtyard, water features, stone pathways and a children’s play area. “The Omega buildings (are) a modern interpretation of the romantic European architectural design,” says Man. “It emphasizes on a symmetrical form and (is) set in a 20,000 squarefoot lush, green garden. The lit pathways, water features and secluded courtyard seating provide a soothing and tranquil environment.” Inside, the condominums include nine-foot ceilings in most of the living areas and a central heating and cooling system. There is an open balcony or terrace with each suite, and wide-plank laminate flooring throughout the main living area and flex space (depending on the floorplan) is complemented by your choice of two colour schemes – Impression and Reflection. The kitchens have plenty of

thoughtful little touches, from the soft-close hardware on the doors to the waste recycling bin and sliding basket under the sink. The engineered quartz stone countertops and large-format porcelain tile backsplash combine to make for an elegant picture with the stainless-steel appliances, while the laminate cabinetry with open glass display shelving and under-cabinet lighting becomes the cherry on the top of this perfect kitchen sundae. Those little touches continue in the bathrooms, with their engineered quartz stone countertops and a custom medicine cabinet with a mirror, shelves and built-in lighting. The recessed pot lighting is universally flattering, while

“

The Omega buildings (are) a modern interpretation of the romantic European architectural design,” says Concord Vice-President of Marketing Grace Man.

The homes at Omega have several chic and modern touches, from the porcelain tile backsplash in the kitchen, above, to the generous bedrooms and ﬂex spaces in some ﬂoorplans, top and left.

Maple Leaf logo helps boost sales NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Make it, bake it, grow it, process it: Food and other grocery items that carry the Maple Leaf logo are far bigger sellers than those that are imported. On May 18, Langley MP Mark Warawa launched a government initiative to persuade shoppers to make their selections based on the made-in-Canada label. Canadian farmers produce the best and safest food in the world, and it’s important that Canadian shoppers can easily find these top-quality products on their store shelves, Warawa said. Making the announcement outside the Buy-Low Foods store in Walnut Grove, Warawa explained how agriculture is vital to the economic well-being of the country. In 2010, Agriculture and AgriFood Canada conducted an online shopping simulation to replicate a real shopping experience and to find out if consumers’ actions are as loud as their words. The study found that making

a prominent Canadian content statement and a maple leaf image on a label can significantly boost sales. Processed food products promoted as Canadian realized an overall sales increase of more than 26 per cent at grocery stores in Vancouver, and more than 22 per cent in Ottawa. “We’re helping Canadians find their food of choice when they shop for themselves and their families,” Warawa said. “It’s a great advantage for our farmers and retailers, and a project worth supporting,” he added. Twenty-three Buy-Low Foods/ Nesters Market stores have begun their launch of the Canada Brand initiative. Other stores about to follow include Choices Markets. A ‘Product of Canada’ label denotes that almost all (about 98 per cent) of the major ingredients, processing and labour used to make the product are Canadian. Warawa was joined by BuyLow store manager Dan Begg and about two dozen students from Alex Hope Elementary.

Those who are curious about construction in their community or want to know how certain projects are proceeding can now find out with a few clicks on the computer. Langley Township has introduced a new online application that allows the public to track building permit activity. It can be found on the

updated information. “Given the positive feedback that we have received for the development activity tool, we quickly identified building permits as the next logical step,” Scheepmaker said. “This is information you can get from the permit, licence and inspection services counter at the Township’s Civic Facility, but now you can access it when you want it, any time, any day.” “This is something we think will be a valuable tool for both Township residents and those working within the development community,”

Township plan put in place You’re invited! Strategy sets six goals to boost local business

A plan to enhance the economy and guide local businesses towards a successful and profitable future has been put in place for the Township of Langley. A new Economic Development Strategy was approved by Langley Township council in April, spelling good news for companies and business owners currently located in the community and those thinking of making Langley their home. The strategy includes six goals that are to be achieved by implementing 43 specific initiatives over the next seven or eight years. According to Township Economic Development manager Gary MacKinnon, they will work well for local businesses because they were created with help from local businesses and community members. “The most important aspect of the creation of the new strategy was the phenomenal public input we received,” MacKinnon said. “The new vision and mission statements that embody the

strategy represent the thoughts and ideas of residents, business owners, and land owners, combined with those of Council and staff.” An online community survey, focus group sessions, stakeholder interviews, and visioning workshops were held to help create the strategy, which is also based on economic research and studies of the Township’s current economic situation, its employment land use, and future trends. “Our goal is to help businesses succeed in our community,” said Mayor Jack Froese. “This new economic development strategy will ensure our commercial climate continues to develop in harmony with our rural and urban communities.” The new strategy was initiated by the volunteerrun Economic Development Advisory committee after goals and actions outlined in the 2002 strategy were completed. The 2012 strategy will focus on creating additional jobs, expanding and attracting new industries, facilitating infrastructure improvement, developing a town centre, encouraging learning, and enhancing quality of life. It also sets up a work plan for the Township’s economic

development department that encourages communication and the sharing of information: “In addition to the business retention, attraction, and expansion services we focus on every day, the strategy sees us making the public more aware of issues by distributing Township-related economic news and statistics,” MacKinnon said. “This will help businesses make effective, cost-efficient decisions that will, in turn, support investment and job growth and increase the income base in the Township of Langley.” To view the new strategy, visit tol.ca/edstrategy. The six goals from the Township’s new Economic Development Strategy are to: 1. Help create additional jobs so there are more jobs than working residents to maintain employment opportunities for local workers; 2. Maintain the diversity of the local economy by helping existing companies expand and by attracting new industries; 3. Facilitate infrastructure improvement that contributes to economic development; 4. Contribute to town centre development; 5. Help create a learning community, and 6. Enhance quality of life for Langley residents.

Bandits grab gold The Langley Bandits put together their best six-game stretch of the season to capture their second tournament title. The U16 girls fastball team was golden in Tsawwassen over the weekend, going a perfect 6-0. The Bandits bats started off slowly, but then went red hot to go along with stellar defence to enter the playoff round as the top seed thanks to a 4-0 mark, defeating PoCo Blue, South Delta Fusion, Vancouver Blue Thunder and Chilliwack, along the way. In the semifinals against New Westminster, Layne Minaker and Sarah Sandrel teamed up on the mound to throw a three-hit shutout. Langley faced some adversity in the final, trailing 3-1 against South Delta after three innings before the Bandits bats awoke and put the game out of reach, winning 12-4. Bailee Cuthbert, Meghan Griffiths, Minaker and Leslie Campbell earned game MVP awards during the round robin.

••••• The Fraser Valley Action are still unbeaten after playing to a 1-1 draw with the Surrey United SC. Kristen Santema had the lone goal for the Action who are 2-0-1 in Pacific Coast Soccer League women’s action last week (May 29) at Cloverdale Athletic Park. The Action play the Vancouver Thunderbirds on Sunday (June 10) at 2 p.m. at the Trinity Western University campus. ••••• Langley Athletic saw their twogame win streak come to an end with a 2-1 loss to the visiting Vancouver Thunderbirds. David Malamura had the lone goal for the home side in the defeat last week (May 30) at McLeod Athletic Park in Pacific Coast Soccer League action. Athletic was sporting a mini twogame win streak thanks to consecutive victories over the Victoria Highlanders. Langley (2-4-0) will aim to get back in the win column tonight (Thursday) against PoCo City FC (4-1-0) at MAP.

The Langley Jr. Thunder did not let a potentially devastating loss derail their turnaround. The Thunder lost 12-8 to the visiting Nanaimo Jr. Timbermen on Saturday at the Langley Events Centre, the first victory of the season for Nanaimo. But Langley did not let that loss snowball into a losing streak, as they quickly bounced back, doubling up the Burnaby Lakers 12-6 on Sunday at the Bill Copeland Arena. The results improve the Thunder to 5-5 in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League standings. They have also won five of six games since starting 0-5. In Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory, Brett Dobray continued his ascent up the scoring leaders, with another three goals and three assists. He now leads with 20 goals in nine games and is fourth in scoring with 36 points. Nick Stone also had a big game with a goal and four helpers. Spencer Evans had a hat trick while Matt Messenger, Zack Porter, Brandon Bull and William Vanden Hooven each scored once. Bull also had a pair of assists. Ryley Brown made 39 saves to pick up the victory. The night before against Nanaimo, the score was tied at six early in the third period, but the Timbermen closed things out with six of the final eight goals to win 12-8. Bull led the way for the Thunder with two goals and three assists, while Vanden Hooven and Spencer Evans scored twice apiece. James Rahe and Messenger each had a goal and an assist. Langley is back in action on June 7 when they host New Westminster (7-3). Game time is 8 p.m. at the LEC.

CAR CARE & REPAIR Cleanliness will help preserve value Keeping your car clean will significantly help preserve its overall value, according to the Car Care Council. Polishing your vehicle once every six months and washing it once a week prevents the buildup of damaging chemicals and dirt that may harm the vehicle's finish. In addition to regular care, it is important to look for any dents, dings, scratches or cracked glass. These problems, when left unattended, can lead to more expensive repairs down the line. Frequent washing and polishing is also the best way to protect your car's finish from the damaging effects of harsh ultraviolet rays and acid rain. It is imperative to clean your car only with products sold specifically for cars which are

specially formulated to ensure that the treatments your vehicle's manufacturer included on the paint ﬁnish remain intact. Using harsh detergents, like dish soap, that are not intended for use on vehicle exteriors can damage those protective layers, leaving your vehicle even more vulnerable to the elements than before you washed it.
