Capsule offers a peek into 2012 Langley MIRANDA GATHERCOLE

reminder to residents in the future about the great community that Fort Langley is today. “I think it’s a real sign of how much the community misses their grocery store, in particular the Lee family who have run that store since 1975,” said Kurt Alberts, long time Fort Langley resident and organizer of the event. “There’s a lot of eager anticipation hoping the store is up and running soon.” Dozens of residents and local business owners braved the pouring rain to attend the time capsule burial ceremony and sign their names and well wishes on papers that were also placed inside the capsule. “It was amazing, there were people rushing around at the last minute to leave their mark, their signature, and make a comment,” Alberts said, adding that is was also interesting to see comments from young people, who wrote about their iPhones and high tech devices that will be archaic 100 years from now. A plaque will be placed on top of the burial site inside the store once it is finished.

Some day in the far future, the new IGA building in Fort Langley will eventually be demolished. And when that day finally comes, the developers at that time will find a little present left behind by the residents of today. A time capsule containing a copy of the Fort Langley Villager Magazine, printouts and newspaper clips documenting the IGA’s history, a badge from the fire department, a business card from Mayor Jack Froese and many other items were all placed in a green metal box and buried in the earth beneath the entrance of the new IGA building on June 16. Concrete for the floor was poured two days later, securely locking the time capsule away for possibly 100 years or more. The idea came from owner Robert Lee, who woke up in the middle of the night early last week with a sudden thought that a time capsule should be burred before the concrete is poured. One day it will serve as a

The Lee family, owners of the IGA in Fort Langley, hold up a time capsule containing items such as newspaper clippings documenting the rebuilding process of their store, which burned in January, 2011, a badge from the fire department and signatures of residents and supporters. The capsule was buried where the entrance for the new building will be, and a plaque will be placed over top of it. Concrete for the floor was poured on Monday. The capsule will not be dug up again until the building is demolished.

Glen Valley residents put on flood alert As Fraser River rises, occupants of 150 homes in North Langley advised to be ready to go at a moment’s notice NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

The rising level of the Fraser River has prompted the Township of Langley to put approximately 150 Glen Valley households on evacuation alert. An evacuation alert was jointly issued by the Township and the City of Abbotsford yesterday (Wednesday) to those living in the flood plain area of Glen Valley which is not protected by dykes. Residents in unprotected areas of Northwest Langley, Brae Island, and McMillan Island were also put on alert.

“This is not an evacuation order,” said the Township’s public works director Roeland Zwaag. “The alert is being issued so that people in at-risk areas have time to make preparations, should conditions change and they need to leave their homes on short notice,” Zwaag said. Preparations should include finding alternative accommodation, ensuring homes are found for pets, and finding higher ground for livestock. The alerts were delivered by members of the RCMP on Wednesday morning. Recent heavy rainfall over the Fraser

Privatized booze will cost more, says union ‘If there’s no savings to consumers, there will be no deal,’ Rich Coleman vows MIRANDA GATHERCOLE AND FRANK BUCHOLTZ Times Reporters

Privatizing the Liquor Distribution Branch would not only cause the province to lose millions of dollars in revenue, it would also drive up liquor prices for consumers, according to the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union. Nearly 40 union members armed with petitions circled the Cascades Casino parking lot on Tuesday evening, collecting signatures to “stop the Liquor Distribution Branch sell-off.” They were also hoping to catch the eye of Rich Coleman, minister responsible for the LDB, who was at the casino on Tuesday to speak to the annual meeting of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce. “(The LDB) is a public asset that has served the public for decades,” said Evan Stewart, communications officer for the BCGEU. “Last year alone it produced in the region of $890 million of profit, and that’s provincial revenue that goes into building schools, hospitals and highways and looking after seniors.” Since the privatization plan was announced in the budget speech in February, there has been no public consultation nor a business case presented to justify the sale, Stewart said. He also believes this will cause prices to increase for consumers. “I think British Columbians need to be aware that the system has worked for decades (and) has provided consistent pricing province wide. If you go into a liquor store in East Vancouver, right by the warehouse, or if you go to a liquor store in Fort St. John, the prices are the same,” he said. “There’s certainly no assurance that if the warehouse and distribution service is privatized we’re going to have consistent, province-wide pricing. And I think there is a very real possibility that this privatization is going to drive up costs for consumers.” Matt Phillips of Victoria’s Phillips Brewing Company, also a member the Craft Beer Association of B.C., has predicted that privatization could add between 75 cents to $1 on the cost of a six-pack of beer,

From left: Union members Sonya Johnson, Local 503, Marie Pretchuk, Local 503, and Annette Taylor, Local 703, joined an estimated 40 petitioners outside Cascades Casino on Tuesday to take a stand against the privatization of the liquor distribution branch. Stewart said. “A lot of the smaller brewers are happy with the service that LDB provides, and they are concerned that privatizing is going to drive up their costs,” he said. Inside the building, Coleman did not address any liquor-related issues in his speech. However, he was asked a question about the privatization by a chamber member. Asked why no business case had been prepared in advance of the Request for Proposals (RFP) that calls for responses from the private sector by June 30, Coleman said that the government instead did an analysis. “What we have here is an old warehouse that is not very efficient. We could either go build a new warehouse or see if

someone in the private sector wanted to come in with a proposal. “We need to look to efficiencies, and the best way is to go to the private sector,” he said. He also emphasized that part of the RFP requires that existing employees do not lose their jobs and remain as members of the union. Coleman said the final decision on the privatization RFP will be made by a panel of civil servants and not by politicians, “and if there is no savings to consumers, we won’t do the deal.” When he said that “we (government) do not usually run businesses very well,” the questioner responded. “It’s odd that government would say it’s not doing a great job.”

Police look to put squeeze on juice store robberies

Police are investigating the possibility that one man may be responsible for a series of recent holdups at Booster Juice stores in South Surrey and Langley this month. On June 3, the Booster Juice outlet at 15161 and Highway 10 in South Surrey was robbed at 7:30 p.m. by a man with a knife. On June 7, another South Surrey Booster Juice store, the one at 15355 24 Ave., was robbed around 2:30 p.m. And on June 11, the Langley Booster Juice outlet at 20159 88 Avenue was robbed around 5:15 p.m. In each case, the robber fled on foot with a few hundred dollars. The description of the suspect in each incident is similar — a male Caucasian in his 20s, wearing a hoodie and a glove on one hand, who threatens the store staff with what appears to be a knife. Security video footage of the suspect in the Langley store holdup shows him wearing sunglasses and a baseball hat with “Police” embroidered on the front. He had keys hanging on his hips and he was wearing blues jeans and a dark, patterned hoodie. The man was in the store less than a minute. No one has been reportedly hurt in the holdups, but the incidents have “traumatized” staff, said Lisa Swift, who owns the South Surrey store that was robbed on June 3 and the Langley store that was robbed on June 11. “The problem is that he is making his rounds, and must be driving to his robberies” Swift said. Swift released video of the Langley holdup in the hopes someone will recognize the robber. “I need him off the streets,” Swift said. RCMP confirmed Tuesday that they are investigating the possibility that the same man is responsible for more than one of the juice store holdups and a number of other robberies as well, but no determination has been made yet. Anyone with information about any of the robberies is asked to contact their local RCMP detachment or CrimeStoppers online or by phoning 1-800-222-8477.

While B.C.’s medical system has its faults, imagine trying to get health care in rural Zimbabwe, where the death rate of mothers in pregnancy or delivery is 790 per 100,000 deliveries, compared to six per 100,000 in Canada per year. Canadian Dr. Paul Thistle, who has lived and worked as a bush doctor for 16 years at the Salvation Army’s Howard Hospital in Zimbabwe, is coming to Langley next Wednesday (June 27) to advocate for his patients and their growing needs there. The Rotary Clubs of Aldergrove and Langley are hosting a reception for him at the Gateway of Hope on Wednesday, June 27 at 7 p.m. The public is welcome to come hear his stories and see pictures from one Aldergrove Rotarian’s recent trip to Zimbabwe and the Howard Hospital. “Dr. Thistle has this incredible calm among the busyness of that hospital,” said Katy Loewen, an Aldergrove Rotarian who made her latest trip to Zimbabwe with her husband and two teenagers in March. “You and I would be overwhelmed if we saw how many people are needing medical attention every day, but he maintains his cool and just plugs away at it.” She said he only takes one week off a year to come home to Canada and visit his family. Often Thistle is the only doctor to serve the more than 270,000 people who live in and around the area. Some of the sick walk 14 miles to seek medical

They are desperate need of medical supplies,” said Loewen. “Even pharmaceuticals would be a huge help.” That’s where Langley comes in, said Rotarian Brendan Martin who has been working hard to fundraise to help the Howard Hospital and Dr. Thistle. “I’m happy to report that we, the four Rotary Clubs of Aldergrove/Langley, are now 55 per cent of the way towards reaching our goal of $105,000 for medical equipment for Salvation continued, PAGE 5

Hospital a lifeline for 270,000

Two million kids orphaned by HIV from PAGE 4

Howard Mission Hospital has been administered by the Salvation Army since 1923, serving the medical, social and spiritual needs of the Chiweshe villages and surrounding farm areas. Howard Hospital serves more than 270,000 people, predominantly comprised of economically vulnerable subsistence farmers. To fulfill its mission, the hospital offers a full range of medical and surgical services, including in-patient care with 144 beds, outpatients, and maternity services with 2,700 deliveries per year. The hospital also operates nursing and midwifery schools. Howard Hospital was one of the first hospitals in Zimbabwe chosen to implement HIV/AIDS treatment.

Army Howard Hospital in Zimbabwe,” said Martin, founder of International Health Langley, which is a fundraising arm of the Rotary Clubs that help hospitals in poor nations. “The maternal mortality rate relating to pregnancy/childbirth is 100 times that of ours in Canada,” said Martin. “This fact is enough to stop us in our tracks at least for a little while, to think of mothers so unfairly visited by death while giving life to another.” One of the purchases that money in Langley will buy is an X-ray machine that will help mothers through their pregnancies from detecting breeches to other problems. Most women in Zimbabwe have around four children each, said Loewen. But many of those women are infected with HIV, which brings many complications to pregnancy and postbirth. Prostitution is rampant there, said Loewen, with woman selling their

bodies to feed their babies. HIV and Tuberculosis are epidemic. “The HIV rates among women is staggering which leads to the two million orphans that live in Zimbabwe,” she said. When Loewen first visited Zimbabwe in 2009 to help in an orphanage, she brought many of her family, including her sister-in-law from Manitoba who is a registered nurse. They held a mini-clinic to clean up wounds, help with skin infections, treat worms and even hand out Aspirin she had brought. “Even for that clinic, people walked miles to get to us and wait in line to seek help. Doing that gave them hope,” she said. But for all the struggles, “there is this incredible sense of joy among people there,” she said. She said Africa “gets into your blood” and her family has taken two trips, but those won’t be their last. Everyone is welcome to come hear Loewen and Thistle speak on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

After a slight hiccup, Canada Day celebrations will once again take place over two days in Langley. Concerns with funding forced the Langley Canada Day Society to consider downsizing their celebration to only one day, but a recent surge in sponsors has allowed them to once again host events on both June 30 and July 1, making Langley the only two-day Canada Day celebration in all of Western Canada. “These things happen, but the board of directors worked really hard, some sponsors came forward, we made a few little readjustments and we’re ready for two days. We couldn’t let it go. We had to keep the tradition going,” said Lilianne Fuller, Langley Canada Day Society media director. With more than 50,000 people expected to come to the event, organizers are now looking for extra volunteers. An orientation will be held at the McLeod Athletic Park picnic area on June 23 at 2 p.m. for those interested. “Without the generously of

our volunteers, we would not be able to have this event for our Community,” said Cheryl Tallman, Canada Day Society vice-president.“We really have a great time meeting and working with our volunteers, and look forward to meeting all our new volunteers this year and seeing those who joined us last year return for another fun filled weekend.” This year the Canada Day Society has outdone themselves, hosting a number of exciting family events. In addition to non-stop field entertainment and midway rides, both days will feature special shows and demonstrations. The Dogwood Pacesetters Canine Sports team will be presenting their dog show “come and watch the antics of your four-legged best friends,” and the B.C. Lions will be stopping for a visit on July 1 from 2 to 3 p.m. The Laughing Stock Ranch will be hosting pony rides for kids, and Lutini the magician will wonder the grounds performing magic tricks.

Froese to meet with Fraser Valley mayors Friday NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

The mayors of Langley Township, Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack are meeting tomorrow (Friday) to hash out difficulties involving relationships with their regional districts. Mayor Jack Froese told a radio station last week that the Township “will have an open mind” when he heads into the meeting. He said that on a scale of one to 10,Township council “is about a five” in favour of leaving Metro Vancouver. Mission, Chilliwack and Abbotsford belong to the Fraser Valley Regional District. Among the options Froese will discuss is forming a new regional district, abandoning Metro Vancouver, and jumping to the FVRD. Froese said that “there is nothing wrong”

with taking a look at the relationship the four municipalities have with their regional districts “to see if we can do a better job. And if we can’t, then just leave things well alone.” Last month, Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman said he would welcome a chance to discuss a partnership with Langley. However, Abbotsford has been told by the province that it cannot leave the Fraser Valley Regional District, as it has asked. Instead, the city was given the option to stay with the FVRD or find other communities willing to join them to create a new regional district. Some members of Township council are upset that taxpayers are not getting value for money with Metro Vancouver, nor TransLink, the regional transportation authority. The tipping point came when TransLink

Township needs seniors committee, council told NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

When Bob Richter had hip replacement surgery at Langley Memorial Hospital, he was fortunate enough that his wife, Township Councillor Kim Richter, could drive him home. Many other middle aged and older patients weren’t as lucky, she noticed. “Transportation for seniors is a major concern for seniors in this community,” she remarked at the June 11 council meeting. Seniors admitted to hospital for surgery and who don’t have family or friends to drive them home cannot rely on public transport, she said. A new committee for seniors would provide a strong voice and advocacy role, she said in proposing the formation of a Seniors Advisory Committee. Council referred her suggestion to the September council priorities meeting where it Councillor Kim Richter will be discussed in context with a letter from Carla Robin, co-ordinator of the Langley Seniors Community Action Table. In a letter to council, Robin said that while a number of “active and knowledgeable” committees exist in Langley “a very significant committee in the affairs of our municipality is missing.” Observing that seniors represent a “large and significant portion of our population” and have much to offer in experience and expertise, Robin said that they have different needs and expectations. “Seniors need a strong voice in the affairs of our community, particularly in the areas where they are most affected,” she said. Robin urged council to take prompt action to form an official Seniors Advisory Committee which would act in concert with existing advisory committees. She suggested that positions on the committee be filled by people who are knowledgeable in aspects of housing, transportation, access, and finances. At least two members should be 65 or over, Robin added.

Building Community Together the United Way

announced it would postpone expansion plans south of the Fraser River, sounding for now the death knell of a rapid bus service from the new park and ride at 200 Street and 86 Avenue to the Lougheed SkyTrain station. “Langley Township and other communities on this side of the river support TransLink by paying for services that benefit all other areas of the Lower Mainland. But when it comes to our turn, we have the rug pulled out from under us,” he said. Froese is a member of the newly-formed South of the Fraser Mayors’ Committee, which is working to obtain the transportation infrastructure needed by its member municipalities to focus attention on the area’s unique transportation needs. He was one of three mayors from south of the Fraser River to oppose the vote to postpone expansion plans.

Banman feels it is his job to examine all the options available to Abbotsford. But joining Metro Vancouver “is not going to happen while I’m sitting in the chair.” Another option, according to Banman, could be to make the FVRD bigger by adding Langley. He wants to have a discussion, confirm the data and then hold a public forum to see what the communities want. “I’m sure that the residents of Langley would be thrilled to reduce their gas tax by 17 cents a litre,” said Banman. On Monday,Township council will debate a motion from Councillor Kim Richter that calls for staff to update a 2001 report on the costs and benefits of membership in Metro Vancouver.

Crosswalk needed

Sentences puzzling

ldergrove residents are bemoaning the lack of action on 29 Avenue pedestrian safety measures, following a serious incident earlier this year, where a 10-year-old boy on his way home from school was struck down by a motorist and seriously injured. Specifically, they can’t understand why there has been no action on establishing a crosswalk between 264 and 272 Streets, where there is a secondary schools, a park and a recreation centre. An elementary and middle school are just to the south, and students from both cross the road daily. A report to Township council suggests that traffic calming measures on the street “are not a priority.” This seems incomprehensible to those who regularly use the street, but suggestions by some that the Township deliberately ignores Aldergrove are a bit unfair. It is certainly true that Aldergrove isn’t front and centre in most Township decisions, but that is because it is one of many communities within the Township. It could be argued that the Township is paying a lot of attention to Aldergrove right now — it is starting a major water line extension to the area which is one of the single largest projects ever undertaken by the Township. It has also advanced significant funds for playing fields in Aldergrove just this year. Aldergrove does have the disadvantage of being split between two municipalities. Most newer homes in the area are actually located in West Abbotsford, and thus far the City of Abbotsford has done almost nothing in the way of improvements to benefit those residents. Recreation facilities and neighbourhood shopping is provided in the Langley Township portion of what people generally know as Aldergrove, although a major shopping centre is under construction near Mount Lehman Road and Highway 1. This will undoubtedly shift some shopping patterns, and may be a significant challenge for some Aldergrove businesses. In the meantime, the residents who have campaigned to make 29 Avenue safer make some excellent points. At the very least, the Township should install a crosswalk over the summer months, so that it is in place by the time school resumes in September. More enforcement of traffic laws along the street would also make good sense.

ords of a rioter sentenced to one month in jail have plenty of meaning. “This is crazy,” Emmanuel Alviar reportedly said after a judge delivered a sentence to the Surrey man for his role in the Stanley Cup riot one year ago. While we applaud the sentence, the judge’s decision illustrates the disparities in our justice system. Alviar called his sentence “crazy,” presumably because he had no prior criminal record, turned himself in and pleaded guilty. The 20-year-old also got 16 months of probation and 150 hours of community service. Alviar is the second rioter to be sentenced. There’s lots more to come. Remembering the devastation rioters inflicted on the Olympic city — in front of the eyes of the world — perhaps Alviar actually got off easy. Punks of the world need to know this sort of anti-social behaviour is not only unacceptable, but there are consequences to such negative actions. But looking at some other recent sentences for completely unrelated cases, it leads us to question how sentences are handed out. Hardened criminals are set free with a slap on the wrist; killers get off with little more than a stern lecture. Take the case of Del Louie, for instance. Louie sucker-punched a Coast Mountain bus driver in Burnaby last year, leaving the driver unable to work. For that, he got an 18-month conditional sentence — to be served in the community — and two years’ probation. Then there’s the case of Donald Bakker, a convicted sex offender who is now living in Penticton. He has been categorized as a “high risk to re-offend,” but he’s out in the Penticton community. Bakker was given a 10-year prison sentence in 2005 after pleading guilty to sexually abusing seven Cambodian girls between the ages of seven and 14. For the many more rioters awaiting trials, one can only hope they’ll have surprising sentences like Emmanuel Alviar. Victims — and the public — deserve it. —Richmond Review The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Fort Langley to benefit from building Editor: I’m a relative newcomer to Fort Langley, having been here for only about 15 years or so. My wife and I have our office in Fort Langley and we live in Walnut Grove. In the past 12 years, we’ve had three big development pushes — the Starline Windows proposal, the Bedford development and Eric Woodward’s developments. In the Starline Widnows proposal, the Martini family (longtime Langley residents and employers in Port Kells) proposed to use the old mill site along the river in Fort Langley (a heavy industrial use that had provided many good-paying jobs for many years) for a light industrial use, building windows. This proposal was almost universally condemned by the Fort Langley community on the basis that it would be one or more huge buildings on the waterfront. It would be noisy and lit up well into the night and it wouldn’t fit into the peaceful community we had since the mill closed. Fair enough.Things change. I just wonder if, looking back, we will all be a little disappointed that we don’t have more local employment in Fort Langley, like we used to. But we made our decision, there’s no going back now — and the Township listened. The Bedford development came next. Many people said many things, and ParkLane and the Township appeared to listen. The original plan was attractive to some

with specific interests. The promised seniors’ home — we didn’t get; the hotel — we didn’t get; the big community plaza on the water — we didn’t get; the Fort to Fort trail connection — we got, more or less. Many in Fort Langley were disenchanted — claiming the Township allowed a baitand-switch by a developer who,unlike local residents the Martinis and Woodward, wanted to make the most amount of money and then leave. There is still a lot of resentment among some in Fort Langley about having spent so much time trying to be heard by the Township, only to be ultimately ignored. Things change. Many fine people live in Bedford Landing now. On the downtown side of the tracks in Fort Langley, we have a community plan which was put together about 25 years ago. It has a height restriction of two storeys. Yet we already have three-storey buildings in Fort Langley. Somehow, these got passed. I understand that our community hall would not meet the current Fort Langley Community Plan guidelines. I also understand that the height restriction of two storeys was imposed by the Township, and no Fort Langley residents had actually proposed this. Woodward has been buying commercial properties in Fort Langley. He started by fixing up the buildings between the

community hall and Wendel’s — and now he’s radically improved Heritage Mall (the liquor store mall) with lots more parking, wider sidewalks and completely redone facades. He has now proposed a building in front of IGA which is large, three storeys high and with little or no parking visible on the street, because it’s mostly underground. I like the proposal because it puts the parking out of sight — underground. It uses the Wendel’s technique of breaking up the facades of the building into smaller chunks, making a large building appear smaller. Allowing a third storey in exchange for underground parking is a good trade. I don’t like hearing or reading people’s snide remarks about Woodward because he’s got more money than me — or them. As far as I’m concerned, he’s doing an excellent job trying to balance the needs of Fort Langley (to maintain its heritage character and village feel), while ensuring that each building (like the proposed new one) is economically viable. He has a strong connection to our community and I appreciate what he’s doing in Fort Langley. I know he’s willing to discuss any constructive suggestions, and I encourage everyone interested to contact him. Peter Kravchuke, Langley

Council function ‘on sphere of their own’ Editor: Is Langley Township council becoming like the TransLink board — a head in the clouds, high-handed lot? The council members seem to function on a sphere of their own. If this is the case, voters elected a pig in a poke. Mayor Jack Froese is for moving matters forward, but that appears to be hampered somewhat by the meeting format that you commented on (The Times, June 12). The lack of common sense exercised by what we voters thought were responsible people is appalling. It’s like Township council is on auto pilot in demanding waters. So many things seem to be linked — the

push to run more trains on the CP rail line through Langley; the South Fraser perimeter road; Roberts Bank super port; industrialization of Barnston Island. It all appears to be the work of one huge consortium to achieve a plan to serve some common interests — ideological or otherwise. Of course the ports are important for commerce. But constituents should not be treated as a fire hydrant for a male dog’s convenience. That is quasi-democracy. The Township has signed off on its sovereignty to Metro Vanouver. We now need Metro Vancouver’s urbanite warlord to grant permission, due to the Regional Growth Strategy.

But then large consortiums tell everyone to go to hell. So why is there a double standard? Our two Langleys allowed this to happen with their eyes wide open. As letter writer Dennis Townsend points out (The Times, June 12), lobby groups are in control. This is what we have at Township council. People in authority need to know that many of their constituents are at a point of severe cynicism, which could eventually lead to some sort of reaction nationwide, as well as here at ground zero in Langley. It’s goodbye to genuine democracy. Harvey D. Schultz, Langley

A privilege to be named senior of the year Editor: I would like to convey my sincerest appreciation and thanks to everyone involved for the special honour bestowed on me and David Esworthy, in representing the Langleys as seniors of the year in 2012. Words cannot describe the loving and friendly welcome given at the recent presentations at the Langley Seniors Centre.Thanks to the organizers, nominating committee, staff and volunteers, City and Township mayors The

and councillors, MLAs Mary Polak and Rich Coleman, Jim McGregor, our chauffeur Rene, City firefighters and the RCMP. Thanks also to local newspaper reporters and editors who have kept the public informed. To be able to help in the many worthwhile volunteer positions in both Langleys and neighbouring municipalities is an excellent opportunity to “pay it forward” and give

back. Together we are proving that Langley is indeed “the place to be” for people of every age, race, religion and ethnic culture. As senior of the year, I will do my very best to represent our communities, which have been very dear to my heart since moving here in 1953. Thank you again for this honoured and momentous privilege. Toots Tucker, Langley

TWO OPPOSING VIEWS Editor: Isn’t it ironic? As a society, we are very concerned with the trend of increased suicide among our teenagers. We send teams of counsellors to aboriginal communities where the suicide rate is very high. While those suicides are ones we cannot accept, and struggle to reduce, the move for assisted suicide is being pushed. How do these two opposing views fit together? Why is the suicide death of a teenager so upsetting, and the taking of one’s own life in aboriginal communities so disturbing? Yet the same value is not put on the life of our elderly, our disabled, or those who have terminal illnesses. Assisted suicide is held out to them as a dignified and honourable solution to life’s problems and challenges. One suicide is to be fought against, the other is to be desired? It makes no sense. Assisted suicide is wrong. Ginny VanderHorst, Langley

LET’S REMEMBER Editor: I write on behalf of The War Amps Operation Legacy, in which members of the association’s Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program help preserve and commemorate Canada’s military heritage. Of the more than 45,000 Canadians and Newfoundlanders who gave their lives in the Second World War, 10,000 were in Bomber Command — one of the most dangerous occupations of the war. On June 28, the Queen will be unveiling the Royal Air Force Bomber Command Memorial in central London. To mark the unveiling, The War Amps is releasing a memoir in its Canadian Military Heritage Series called Grandpa’s War in Bomber Command, a personal account of the experiences of the late Jack W. Singer. Members of Operation Legacy will donate copies of the memoir to local libraries. Singer wrote this memoir for his grandchildren in 1998, and, following his wishes, it is now being made available to a wider audience. Grandpa’s War in Bomber Command can be purchased at a costrecovery price of $15 by calling 1-800-250-3030 or visiting waramps. ca. Saadia Ibrahim, Operation Legacy Member, Surrey

Limit lawn watering, City urges Eventually, there’s bound to come a time when it stops raining. If and when that day arrives, and residents are ready to start watering their lawns, the City of Langley is hoping they will do so sparingly.

“Water is a precious resource and we’d like to make sure we treat it properly,” said City engineer Gary Vlieg. Vlieg set out a few guidelines for responsible watering at Monday’s City Council meeting, noting that lawns require only

about one inch (or two and a half centimetres) of water per week. To determine how much sprinkler time that entails, he suggests putting out an empty tuna or salmon can to see how long it takes to fill.

She joined the BCRCHA at age 39, although she could barely ride and was the proud owner of a completely unbroken young horse she bought on Craigslist for $1,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told a friend of mine, who competed in cutting, that I had bought a two-year old Appaloosa. Her first words were â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What? Are you crazy?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But there was something about the horse that made my heart melt. That was three years ago. With a lot of hard work and help from the wonderful people in the cutting world, my Appaloosa and I placed first in the novice class at the BCRCHA show held in Aldergrove recently,â&#x20AC;? said Carrie. Like Haley, she finds the sport easy on the wallet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own an expensive cutting saddle, and I ride with what tack I can afford. Entry fees for shows are kept at a reasonable level so anyone can enjoy the sport,â&#x20AC;? she added. For more information on the BCRCHA, visit the club website at www.bcrcha.com.

High waters on the Fraser River have caused at least one Fort Langley campground to temporarily shut down and a portion of the Fort-to-Fort Trail has been closed due to flooding. Metro Vancouver is also sending a warning to dog owners about keeping their pets from playing in the fast flowing waterway. Metro Vancouver Parks Edgewater Bar campground is closed temporar-

ily due to the high water level of the Fraser River. According to Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, the campground will reopen once the floodwater has receded and clean-up is complete. Access to Derby Reach Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog off-leash area from the river trail is also closed due to high waters. The off-leash area can be accessed via Allard Crescent but dog owners are advised to keep their pets out of the fast flowing river at this time because the animals can easily be swept away. Brae Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trails are closed but

Commercial waste haulers are increasingly trucking the garbage they collect to private landfills outside Metro Vancouver to avoid high tipping fees and disposal bans that are enforced by the regional district. The developing trend has alarmed Metro Vancouver staff and politicians because every load of garbage that leaves the region means less money is collected in tipping fees to support the fixed costs of the waste management and recycling system, forcing those fees to climb higher for everyone else. So far itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated 50,000 tonnes of waste per year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; five per cent of the waste stream â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has shifted to private outof-region facilities, resulting in a loss of $5 million per year in tipping fee revenue for Metro. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mainly coming from businesses, industry and multi-family residential buildings served by private haulers. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, who chairs Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zero Waste Committee, said the fear is the outward migration of garbage will accelerate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reduction could grow exponentially and then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a real issue,â&#x20AC;? he said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The trend could be a very difficult one if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t address the situation. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking waste out of the waste stream that means the cost for those who remain is going to increase.â&#x20AC;? Brodie said a big chunk of the 50,000 tonnes of outbound garbage is believed to go to a private transfer station in Abbotsford, where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shipped by rail to a U.S. landfill run by Rabanco near the Washington-Oregon border. Allen Lynch, manager of the North Shore Recycling Society, said the option of routing trash through Abbotsford costs customers much less than Metro Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $107 per tonne tipping fee, which was raised 10 per cent in the past year alone because falling garbage volumes shifted more of the cost to remaining users. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very tough situation for Metro right now,â&#x20AC;? Lynch added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more they put the tipping fee up, the more theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll lose.â&#x20AC;? Besides the cost differential, private firms can offer the convenience of not having to divert recyclables that are banned from disposal by Metro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A hauler could approach a customer in Burnaby or the North Shore and say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about sorting that stuff out, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take care of it and we can give you a cheaper rate,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Lynch said. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no guarantee loads will ultimately be recycled in the U.S. or some other out-of-region destination at the level required within Metro, Lynch said. The hauler is also no longer subject to occasional Metro surcharges for loads that break the rules because someone has thrown banned material in a bin, Lynch noted. Rival waste firms that keep using Metro facilities, meanwhile, face a difficult decision: lose business to competitors who have started hauling east to the Fraser Valley or else join them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It creates an uneven playing field,â&#x20AC;? said Metro solid waste department manager Paul Henderson. Tipping fees have steadily climbed more than 60 per cent since 2006, when they were just $65 per tonne. Henderson said the fee for 2013 is being recalculated now, but he could not say what it will be. Private-only waste facilities have lower costs in part because they deal exclusively with big bulk customers, not individual families that drive up with tiny loads, require more assistance and expect to pay in cash.

School district seeks feedback on communications Langley School District wants to hear from parents, students and staff on how well it is communicating. As School District 35 works to improve the way it communicates with parents, students and staff, it has created a survey for Grade 6-12 students, District staff, and interested members of the community to

participate in. Information gained will help the Board of Education increase understanding of Langley school communities’ information needs, as trustees work to develop the most effective ways of communicating with and hearing from parents, students and staff. “The diverse ways in which the district

communicates are constantly evolving as we strive to meet people’s varied needs and expectations,” said the district’s communications manager Sandy Wakeling. “Effective communication is a two-way street. We need to ensure our processes evolve in a way that not only improves the efficiency with which we can deliver infor-

mation, but also creates an environment of positive engagement that fosters opportunities for dialogue and feedback.” The survey may be completed online at www.sd35.bc.ca/survey, or picked up at schools and the board office. The deadline for survey completion is Wednesday, June 27.

Metro worries over loss of revenue from PAGE 14

Henderson said haulers who go out of region and don’t pay a Metro tipping fee are not contributing to the full suite of recycling services here, as well as Metro’s inspectors who enforce the disposal bans at transfer stations. Nor does any money flow to Metro’s planning efforts, such as figuring out how to implement the region’s complex solid waste plan and introduce new bans on organic waste and wood. A staff report warns the outward flow could hinder Metro in achieving its aggressive goals of recycling 70 per cent of all waste by 2015 and 80 per cent by 2020. The simplest solution is a bylaw that outlaws the hauling of Metro Vancouver garbage outside Metro Vancouver, according to the report. But a series of different fee or regulatory systems are also on the table. Henderson said staff are getting legal advice before bringing back a recommendation in a couple of months. In recent months Metro downsized its plan to build a new waste-to-energy incinerator because of decreasing garbage volumes. Most of the decrease — from 1.3 million tonnes of garbage region-wide in 2006 to 1 million now — is not linked to the shift to out-of-region disposal. It’s mainly attributed to better recycling of construction and demolition waste by private operators within the region, which Metro supports. Waste diversion efforts and the economic downturn are also factors.

Residents sound off on blueberry cannon blasts OIL CHANGE PACKAGE NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Propane-fired cannons are among the arsenal of devices farmers can legally use to scare predator birds from their crops. But even though right-to-farm legislation permits them, there is little in the law that governs the intensity of sound, nor how far it travels. Kevin Mitchell made those points when he appeared before Township council on June 11. Mitchell said that the proliferation of blueberry fields in the past 10 years has brought with it a marked increase in the use of propane cannons. Decibel levels at neighbouring homes can exceed levels that are deemed safe by WorkSafe B.C., he said, adding that there is no mention of “allowable noise level.” He asked council why the

Township’s bylaw enforcement department refers complaints about propane cannons to the B.C. Blueberry Council. That is one of the issues which the Agricultural Advisory Committee will attempt to answer, after council turned the matter over to them for a report. Mitchell submitted to council information describing the nature of complaints, including the fact that when people can actually see the cannons, or other sources of farm noise, the number of noise complaints increases. These include the loudness, pitch or frequency of noise. The information, from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, reveals that random noise, or noise that varies in volume or frequency, is more annoying than noise which is predictable or unchanging. This is the second time coun-

cil has heard complaints about noise associated with blueberry crops. In March, south Aldergrove resident Terry Sheldon told council that unless something is done to stop the annoyance of the cannons, and screechers which are used by mink farmers to keep rats at bay, “we are going to have a war (between residents and farmers). Sheldon offered a solution: falcons. The mere presence of the raptors can be enough to frighten birds which devour blueberry and other crops, he said. Sheldon, who recently returned from Cuba where the birds of prey are used to keep smaller birds away from hotels, said that cannons are proving costly not only to the peace of residents, but to businesses. The cannons also be devastating to horses, he said.

Hunger Games approved for school reading MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

The hugely popular book The Hunger Games will become part of Langley schools’ reading material. At the June 12 board of education meeting, trustees approved the famed trilogy as appropriate reading for Gr. 8s through to 12s. “I contacted the president of libraries and she felt it was appropriate,” said new superintendent Suzanne Hoffman. “It is about violence but the positive reviews outweigh the negative. I’ve read it and I thought it was fabulous.” Trustee Rob McFarlane said he was a little surprised such a violent book would end up as potential curriculum for youth. Trustee Megan Dykeman said this isn’t

lent themes have made it into English class curriculum including The Outsiders, S.E. Hinton’s gritty novel about the violent culture clash between Greasers and Soc’s, and Lord of the Flies, by William Golding. The Hunger Games trilogy has been a huge hit with teens, followed by the movie. Since the outbreak of Harry Potter hysteria, reading books has come back in style for many youth. Still, improving literacy, especially among boys, is a major focus of the Langley School District. Tthe district’s achievement contract showed that more than one-quarter of Grade 10 students are not reading at their appropriate level and that there is a difference between the sexes. Reading achievement favours females over males by 20 per cent.

the first darker-themed book to reach students’ desks, pointing to The Lottery, which The Hunger Games “morphed” from, she said. Hunger Games is based in the future, when the U.S. as we know it is gone and replaced by a wealthy city called the Capital that rules over 12 poor districts. To maintain order and fear, the Capital holds an annual lottery in which one boy and one girl from each district is chosen to compete in a fight-to-the-death survival type game that is televised for all to see. The book does describe violent teenon-teen attacks and murders but beyond that has some valuable messages about courage and integrity as well. There was no opposition from the board to approve the title. Many other books with darker or vio-

McBurney Lane plans revealed MIRANDA GATHERCOLE

SATURDAY

WEDNESDAYS

Times Reporter

By this time next year, McBurney Lane in downtown Langley City will have a cleaner and greener look. New public seating, green space and a wooden deck will be added during a massive renovation of the area. Design plans for the McBurney Lane Beautification Plan were unveiled at a public open house at City Hall on June 13, based on feedback from an open house held last summer. The idea is to transform the lane into a pedestrian area and a central spot in the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown core, said Joseph Fry of Hapa Collaborative, the company remodeling the lane. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This space is really critical,â&#x20AC;? he told about two dozen members of the public and council who attended the open house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(We want to) give it a sense of comfort that encourages the kinds of activities you want to see here, not the activities you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see here, and a sense of ownership that these shop owners would hold.â&#x20AC;? With a budget of $760,000, a number of design options for the lane were presented. The base option, featuring a wooden deck that existing trees will grow through (similar to one on Granville Island), steps built in an arching form following the natural slope of the lane that will serve as seating, and a water feature or signature piece on the north side to anchor the corner and draw pedestrians in, will cost approximately $336,000. A series of alternate add-ons have also been proposed, including installing pavers across the access lane to encourage a sense of safety among pedestrians (an extra $16,000), creating a living wall of plants and trees along the southeast side by Venetis Restaurant (an extra $7,000), or continuing the row of honey locust trees on the southwest side of the south lane to create a green canopy (an extra $17,500). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The primary thing we are trying to respond to as part of our designs is giving McBurney Lane a friendly pedestrian feeling to it,â&#x20AC;? Fry said,

The lane will also serve as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;living room or foyerâ&#x20AC;? to events occurring in Douglas Park, drawing crowds in through an open design and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;canopy of green and plant elementsâ&#x20AC;? extending from the park to the lane, he added. A narrative honouring the life of Dr. Albert McBurney, whom the lane is named after, will be incorporated as well. Currently, the lane is being underused by customers and business owners and has become a hub for vandals. Karla Barton, owner of McBurney Junction Furniture & Interiors

located on the corner of the lane, said that when she first took over the furniture store 12 years ago, it was the lane that attracted her to that location. But now the area has fallen by the wayside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a well defined space. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underutilized and not attractive,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overdue for a facelift.â&#x20AC;? One of the major concerns voiced by many present at the meeting is the challenge of parking in the area. Presently, there are four stalls in the north lane and 18 angle stalls in the south lane. During the original presentation last July,

Hapa Collaborative proposed removing all 22 of these spots in favour of trees, green space, a walking path and other aesthetic improvements. After large public backlash, the base plan now is to remove the four stalls in the north lane, and keep the 18 stalls to the south. A separate project to replace the 56 parallel parking stalls on Douglas Crescent with 82 angle stalls has also been proposed. Should this happen, the current 78 stalls will increase to 100. Final design decisions will not be made until a report is presented to council in July.

The program will be intellectually rigorous and have a practical curriculum with a strong skills focus. Students will have required practical experiences, giving them hands-on experiences with law firms, NGOs and government offices. TWU established a strong advisory council, comprised of lawyers and judges, to assist with the development of the proposal. It has consulted broadly with the legal community, including lawyers, judges, academics and professional organizations. Establishing a law school has been on the strategic plan for the university for many years and fits well with the university’s mission to develop godly leaders for the marketplaces of life, stated a press release from TWU.

Krause Berry Farms Opens!

Simonds gets $50K for playground MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Langley MLA Mary Polak joined Simonds Elementary principal Tanya Rogers to announce $50,000 to replace a playground at the Langley City school. The funds will replace the aging wood structure that is currently there. It is only recently that the provincial government started funding the replacement of old playground equipment. Prior to this year, it was up to Parent Advisory Councils to fundraise to buy new playgrounds. Last Friday (June 13), R.C. Garnett Elementary held a ceremony for the new $13,000 playground their PAC paid for, with help from the Township. Parents there put in the playground themselves to save the $4,000 it would cost to have it professionally installed. The reason R.C. Garnett didn’t receive any provincial funding was because the school is new and it wasn’t replacing aging equipment, it was putting in new equipment, according to the Ministry of

Education. Simonds PAC president Dennis Goldstone was on hand for the announcement and was thrilled that the kids will have “safe” play equipment. “This equipment is very important because the kids spend a lot of time out here,” he said. Goldstone said that his PAC had already raised a fair amount of

funds to replace the playground. Now it can use those funds to improve the “swamp” the kids love to play in. “They spend 90 per cent of their time running around in the swamp,” Goldstone said. “Now we can put in some new bridges over the stream and make some site improve-

Vancouver’s Chinatown bustles with history

Bringing a small town feel to the big city Vancouver’s Chinatown is full of culture, history and community spirit. It’s a great place to live, but as one of the most historical areas of Vancouver, Chinatown comes with several guidelines for developers. “How do you build in a part of the city with so much history?” says Brian Low, director of Panther Constructors. Panther is currently building The Flats on Georgia, a nine-storey, 28-unit condominium building in Chinatown. Some of the guidelines they ran into were height restrictions and the number of windows allowed on the building, Low says. They also had to ensure that the architecture of the project would fit

in with the surrounding buildings. After much consultation with the city, they were able to accomplish this feat. But it was the friendly atmosphere that most attracted Panther to the area. “It’s a small town inside a big city,” Low says. As a National Historic Site, Chinatown is always bustling with visitors and residents. It’s the second largest Chinatown in North America. The market holds vendors of all stripes, selling everything from local vegetables to fine seafood. A movie theatre and several banks have also set up shop, so Low’s idea of a small town in a big city is certainly not far off.

luxurious, with custom-designed vanities and porcelain tile floors. The quartz countertops are modern and cool, while the oversized shower stalls with semi-frameless glass doors (in most of the two-bedroom homes) are an elegant addition to the bathroom. The deep soaker tub is perfect for relaxing after a long day. The neighbourhood itself is a great selling feature for Verve. “Central City is all new with lots more to come,” says Chaput. With a campus of Simon Fraser University, the Central City mall, the City Centre

Library, Surrey City Hall (currently under construction), a performing arts centre and the Civic Plaza, Surrey’s City Centre is rapidly becoming a major urban gathering place. Verve is just minutes from SkyTrain, so you will be easily connected to everywhere in the Lower Mainland. There are several schools in the area as well, so Verve is great for families of all ages. The amenities in the building include a yoga studio, furnished guest suite and a gym. There will also be a children’s play area, a large meeting room, a fireside lounge with a flatscreen TV, games rooms with a pool table, games area and kitchen/bar that opens onto a private patio, and a party room with a full kitchen, bar and private patio as well. Porte will hold a grand opening on June 23, and Chaput is already anticipating a great response. “With mortgage payments around $750 per month, you can own for less than renting,” she says, adding that the homes are “super affordable. ... This is a great opportunity to get in the market.” Homes at Verve start at $154,900. Sales begin on June 23 at noon, so get there early. The presentation centre and display homes are located at 10119 Whalley Boulevard, between 100 and 102 Avenue. They are open daily from 12 to 5 p.m. except for Fridays. For more information, visit www.porte.ca/ verve or call 604-588-3783.

‘Great opportunity to get into the market’

Getting more for your money at Porte’s Verve by Kerry Vital

City style comes to Surrey with the opening of Porte Development’s Verve. Located on Fraser Highway at 139th Avenue, the location is ideal. It’s a sixminute walk to the SkyTrain station, yet set in a quiet corner of Surrey. With a great location, beautiful homes and a fantastic price point, Verve is truly a project for design lovers. “You get more for your money,” says Jeanette Chaput, director of sales and marketing for Porte. “More square footage and a really quality product.” The homes range from 541-squarefoot junior one-bedrooms to 986-square-foot two-bedroom and den condos. In addition, there is a small collection of three-bedroom townhomes that are almost 1,400 square feet. Verve will have three buildings, each with only 66 homes. This will make it a more intimate neighbourhood.

“

With mortgage payments around $750 per month, you can own for less than renting,” says Jeanette Chaput, director of sales and marketing for Porte Development.

Outside the architecture is contemporary and dynamic. Each building has a complementary but unique colour palette to give it its own style. A paved stone driveway leads onto the tree-lined interior streets between the buildings, and a pedestrian walkway makes its way to trails and parks. Each home comes with a spacious garden patio or balcony, and there is plenty of space for parking. In fact, all homes come with a parking stall and most two-bedroom homes come with a tandem stall for two cars. The nine-foot ceilings (11 feet on the top floor) lend an incredible sense of space to your home, and the two colour schemes (designed by award-winning designers BYU Interior Design) are both so beautiful that it is hard to choose between them. The kitchens at Verve have a special detail in each one. These touches range from pantries to built-in workstations and wine racks. The chic cabinetry feature high-gloss

upper cupboards and warm wood lowers, complemented by polished quartz countertops and ENERGY STAR stainless-steel appliances. Undercabinet valance lighting illuminates all of your tasks, while the laminate flooring throughout the main living areas continues into your kitchen. The bathrooms are deluxe and

The homes at Verve feature nine-foot ceilings and plenty of living space (top). With polished quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances (above), the kitchens are perfect for fulﬁlling your every culinary desire. Homes start at $154,900.

Rick Dubord, President of HomeLife Realty Services, presented a cheque for $42,000 to Margaret McNeil, CEO of Canuck Place at the 11th Annual HomeLife Charity Golf Classic at Northview Golf Course May 25, 2012. Dubord said “It was a tremendous team effort of volunteers, sponsors, Canuck Alumni plus a sold out ﬁeld of golfers that contributed to this win for the families that Canuck Place serves”. The HomeLife Charity Tournament became involved with Canuck Place to support the Fraser Valley Extensionhttp://extendingourreach.ca/ and as Dubord said “It’s not just the money that’s important, it’s the awareness of the need for the services provided by Canuck Place”. To meet those growing needs, Canuck Place is building a 10-bed, 5 family suite, 30,000 square foot hospice in Abbotsford at

32766 Marshall Road, right next to Abbotsford Regional Hospital.This facility will essentially double the capacity of Canuck Place, providing services for Fraser Valley and Interior families. Canuck Alumni Co-ordinator and Ride 4 Hope (www.ride4hope.ca) founder, Jeff Bandura, was also on hand to thank the many Canuck Alumni who attended the tournament, including Dennis Ververgaert, Garry Monahan and Dean Malkoc, and promote the July 11, 2012 Ride 4 Hope, from South Surrey to Hope, which also supports Canuck Place. Since the inception of its annual charity golf tournament (www.homelifegolfclassic.com) , HomeLife Realty Services is very pleased to have raised over $340,000 for children charities in B.C.

Industrial park proposal ignites concern NEIL CORBETT Black Press

Abbotsford council will soon be asked to support either the developer of a proposed Bradner industrial park which will bring thousands of jobs and billions in economic activity, or opponents who will lobby to keep close to 300 acres of farmland in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). Ron Emerson of the Emerson Real Estate Group told Black Press that his plan would create $4.7 billion in economic activity, and close to 5,000 jobs, according to the draft economic impact study. The developer, who also created the 2,000,000 square foot Kingswood Industrial Park in Richmond and others in the Lower Mainland, said he needs the approval of Abbotsford council to approach the Agricultural Land Commission with an application to have the property taken out of the ALR. He expects to have a plan before council in six to eight weeks. The property lies near the Langley-Abbotsford border, next to the 700 acre Gloucester

Industrial Estates. In the conceptual stage, it would be bordered on the south by Highway 1 and to the north by 56 Avenue, while the western boundary would be approximately Baynes Street, and Lefeuvre Road in the east. Emerson said it could be as large as 300 acres, depending on some property owners who are still considering whether they would sell. Emerson said with the dearth of industrial property in the Lower Mainland, there is no question about filling his development with tenants. It would be accessible by highway and rail. An added selling point is the ready labour force in nearby Abbotsford. Emerson said the West’s increased trade with Asia, a national and provincial priority, means that more goods are coming into the Asia Pacific Gateway in large quantities, creating demand for warehouse space. An industrial space of 100,000 square feet was considered big only 10 years ago. Now there is demand for spaces as large as 400,000 square feet, he explained.

Meanwhile, industrial areas are coming into conflict with growing communities, and being redeveloped for residential and commercial use, such as Yaletown and False Creek. “We’re very, very confident on the demand,” said Emerson. “There’s an acute shortage of serviced industrial land in Vancouver.” Emerson is also dealing with two clients which are large manufacturing companies that recently made acquisitions, and are looking for space to merge operations under one roof. Concern, if not outright opposition, is mounting in Bradner. “I don’t think it should go ahead. I’m philosophically opposed to taking land out of the ALR,” said Bradner resident Yvonne Holden. She added that ALR land should only be removed if necessary, for projects like fire halls or hospitals. “It’s the wrong thing, at the wrong place, at the wrong time. We bought in the ALR knowing it couldn’t be developed, and we value the rural lifestyle,” said Holden. Cherry Groves agreed, saying,

A conceptual map shows the property which an industrial park could occupy in Bradner, near the Langley border north of Highway 1, and near Lefeuvre Road to the east. “This is a rural area, and we don’t want an industrial park in it — it should stay rural.” “We (city staff) have a responsibility to provide an impartial review of the application,” said Teichroeb. And he said there would be an extensive process, including public input, before council

could support the application to remove the land from the ALR. Emerson knows it will be a challenge to make his case to the Agricultural Land Commission. “Their primary concern is what happens with agriculture,” he said. “We feel there is a legitimate need, and we’re hopeful the city will support us.”

Boat, RV storage yard for Aldergrove Times Reporter

A proposal for a boat storage facility that will cover almost five acres sailed unopposed through a development hearing at Township council on June 11. The application, filed by Prime One Property Corporation/582867 B.C. Ltd., of Abbotsford, is for 4.96 acres at 3350 260 St., in Aldergrove, at the northeast corner of 260 Street and Fraser Highway. The location is immediately adjacent

to the Twilight Drive-In. The facility is for recreational vehicles as well as boats. A prefabricated office building incorporating a caretaker’s suite will occupy only 1.3 per cent of the property. The surface on which the boats and RVs will be stored will not be paved, as the storage yard will have a dust-free gravel surface. The facility will have a sani-dump for customers. Apart from the Twilight Drive-in

Some start-up tips

With continued uncertainty in global markets, and unemployment rates only recently beginning to drop, more and more people are making the choice to start their own businesses and carve their own path towards financial security and success. This decision brings with it many unforeseen challenges that can derail an entrepreneur’s success long before sales even begin to roll in, says William Rajalingham, commercial account manager for Envision Financial. With over 30 per cent of all business start-ups not making it past the second year, the keys to success lie in the preparation. Rajalingham shares the following tips to give small business owners the best possible chance for success. ❒ Create a business plan; ❒ Understand capital requirements; and ❒ Take a detailed look at banking options. These tips are outlined in more detail in the web version of this story on The Times’ website, at www.langleytimes.com, under the business tab. Envision Financial is part of First West Credit Union, B.C.’s third-largest credit union, and is headquartered in Langley.

East Langley Water Supply Loan Authorization Bylaw 2012 No. 4919 Section 179 of the Community Charter, S.B.C., c.26 states that Council may adopt a loan authorization bylaw to incur a liability by borrowing for any purpose of a capital nature, provided that the bylaw sets out the total amount proposed to be borrowed, the purpose for which the debt is to be incurred, the amount allocated by the bylaw to each purpose, and the maximum term for which the debentures may be issued. Sections 84, 85, and 180 of the Community Charter state that a loan authorization bylaw may only be adopted with the approval of the electors, and that approval of the electors may be obtained by an alternative approval process.

To inspect the Bylaw and related documents, and to receive an elector response form, which must be in the form established by the Township of Langley Council, contact:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Township of Langley Council intends to consider adoption of the “East Langley Water Supply Loan Authorization Bylaw 2012 No. 4919” (the “Bylaw”), to authorize the borrowing of $33,535,000 to complete the East Langley water supply connection with the Greater Vancouver Water District water system.

Persons entitled to sign the elector response forms must be qualiﬁed, registered electors of the Township of Langley who meet the qualiﬁcations referred pursuant to sections 50 or 51 of the Local Government Act, RCBC 1996, c.323. When signing the elector response form you must include your full name and residential address, and if applicable, the address of the property in relation to which the person is entitled to register as a non-residential property elector.

In accordance with the Community Charter, Council may proceed to adopt the Bylaw unless 10% of the electors of the Township of Langley sign elector response forms and submit the originally signed forms to the Deputy Township Clerk by the deadline of 4:30pm, Monday, July 23, 2012. If 10% of the electors sign and submit elector response forms by the deadline, Council must obtain the assent of the electors before proceeding.

public notice Cell Towers: Regulation and Processes The federal government, through Industry Canada, is responsible for regulating radiocommunication. This includes approving each site on which radio apparatus, including antenna systems such as cell phone towers, may be located, based on Industry Canada’s general and speciﬁc technical requirements. In exercising its mandate, Industry Canada believes that it is important that antenna systems be deployed in a manner that considers local surroundings. In this regard, Industry Canada requires proponents of cell towers to follow local government policies with respect to public notiﬁcation. In the Township of Langley, local requirements are contained in the Telecommunications Tower Master Plan Policy, which requires proponents to

hold a community consultation meeting as part of the public consultation process. Residents with questions or comments about the proposed tower can make their views known through this public consultation process. Public input obtained by the proponents at the meeting is passed on to Township staff, for presentation to Township Council. Council does not have the authority to approve or reject cell tower applications. Council’s ability is limited to either objecting or not objecting to such installations in its referrals to Industry Canada. Council does not have legislated authority to do anything else. Should Council have no objection to the proposed installation, the proponent will be permitted by Industry Canada to proceed, subject to compliance with their requirements. In the event that Council expresses objections that are considered by Industry Canada to be relevant and the proponent still wishes to proceed

with an installation, Industry Canada will make a final decision as to whether to: • approve the application; or • reject the application; or • require amendments to the application, including re-submission; or • refer the matter to an alternate dispute resolution process in order to come to a final decision. Industry Canada requires that local government decisions be limited in scope to the impact that will be had on particular amenities or important characteristics of the area surrounding the proposed site. Specific items identified by Industry Canada can be viewed on their website, at ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf08777.html. Community Development 604.533.6034

Roger Gilbert joked that he wished the McHale family had more children. The local family has three boys — Josh, Mathew and Michael — who play for the Langley United Youth Soccer Association. And that prompted parents Terry and Helen to contribute $30,000 to the local soccer association to help fund the construction of the Willoughby Community Park South Fieldhouse. Terry McHale also coaches for the club. “We’re challenging other businesses and community leaders in Langley to step up and contribute cash or goods and services to help make this home for Langley soccer a clubhouse that will serve soccer well for decades to come,” McHale said. “With more than 3,000 boys and girls playing every year, soccer is helping build Langley’s strong sense of community and our family and business is happy to support the

cause.” The two-storey, 4,000-square foot facility will provide washrooms, change rooms, a concession, community meeting room and muchneeded storage space for local user groups. It will also serve as Langley United’s main headquarters. The project will cost $994,000 and is construction should be completed in the fall. It is located behind R.E. Mountain Secondary, between two of the Willoughby Community Park artificial turf fields. “It has been a dream of Langley United soccer to have our own clubhouse,” said Gilbert, second vicepresident with the association. He was speaking on Friday afternoon at a sod-turning ceremony at the future site of the facility. While the idea had been circulating for a few years on building a clubhouse, a LUYSA trip to Sweden for the Gothia Cup really confirmed the idea. “We saw in Europe how the clubhouse is a source of pride for

‘Wearing the jersey just so special’ GARY AHUJA Time Sports

photo courtesy of Kevin BAIN/University of Missippi

Corrine Doornberg turns a double play for the Ole Miss Rebels this past season. Doornberg, now graduated from the Mississippi university, is currently trying out for the Canadian senior women’s national team.

It is easy to see how much playing for Canada means to Corrine Doornberg. Her love for her country is there for all to see thanks to a small Maple Leaf tattoo behind her ear. And the 21-year-old from Langley is hoping to once again wear the red and white for Canada this summer. Should she make the team, it will mark the third time she has represented her country, previously playing at the world junior championships in 2007 and then again with the Canadian senior women’s team in 2010. “I love Canada, so why not?” she said about the decision to get the tattoo, which matches one a fellow ball player and friend also got. Doornberg is currently in Oklahoma City, attending tryouts for the past week with the other potential senior national team players. The final roster will be announced tomorrow (June 22) and Doornberg is vying for a spot either as a second baseman or right-fielder. She has previously played for Canada at the junior level — in 2007 in The Netherlands — and the senior level — two years ago in Venezuela. “It is an awesome experience and definitely makes you proud to play to play for your country,” she said. “Wearing the jersey is just so special. “It is for your family and friends and all your coaches. Without them, you wouldn’t be where you are.” This past season — her senior year with the Ole Miss Rebels softball team — made Doornberg realize just how much she loved the game. On scholarship at the University of Mississippi after graduating from Brookswood Secondary in 2008, she had great freshman and sophomore seasons for the Rebels, hitting .315 and .356, respectively. But her junior year was cut short after 25 games because of shoulder surgery. “We didn’t have that successful a season so it was tough to sit there and watch,” she admitted. “I was so excited to be back and playing again.”

Doornberg had a solid senior year, finishing second on the team in hits with 42 and third in runs with 27. She was also fourth with a .273 batting average in 53 games. “When she got on base, she usually scored,” said Rebels coach Windy Thees, who was in her first year as Ole Miss coach. At five foot, three inches and 115 pounds, Doornberg may be diminutive, but she has speed. “Her speed is obviously her best asset; she is very quick out of the box and a very tough out,”Thees said. But Doornberg also brings an infectious energy to the team. “What a great personality and a great person to have on your team,” the coach said.“She has so much energy, it flows out of her. “Her excitement ... really energized our team because sometimes (the game) can get monotonous but she always had a smile on her face.” Thees anticipates success for Doornberg wherever she ends up. “She is going to be successful in life whether it is on the field or whether it is in the office setting,” she said. “(Corrine) has a understanding of how to do things and is one of the smartest players I have coached.” Doornberg’s smarts extend to the classroom. She graduated with a degree in civil engineering and a minor in business. She was also one of 64 recipients of the school’s highest academic honour, the Taylor Medal. It recognizes the top one per cent of the student body and to be considered, students must have a grade point average of at least 3.9. Doornberg is in the process interviewing for jobs in the Lower Mainland, but she is hoping to put off work until August. ••••• The Canadian national team will play in three major events: the U.S. World Cup of Softball in Oklahoma City (June 28-July 2); the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch Women’s International Championship at Surrey’s Softball City (July 4-9); and the ISF women’s world championships in Whitehorse (July 13-17).

Four on roster for Team BC, hope to land Olympic spot A handful of local track and field athletes are among the competitors named to Team BC for the 2012 Canadian Olympic Trials. The competition, which will decide who will represent Canada at the London Summer Olympics, takes place June 27-30 in Calgary. Jarid Vaughan will be racing in the 100m men’s event. The sprinter, who trains with the Coquitlam Cheetahs, is an R.E. Mountain graduate who

attended the University of Texas at Arlington. Tiffany Perkins, a women’s javelin thrower from Abbotsford, trains with the Langley Mustangs. And two members of the Trinity Western Spartans track and field team are also among the competitors. Liza Whitehead will run in the women’s 100m event and Fiona Benson will run in the women’s 1500m.

Trinity Western’s Katelynn Ramage will represent Team BC at the Canadian junior race walk championships, which will also be held in Calgary during the Olympic trials. ••••• Christian Meier finished third at the Tour de Beauce cycling event held in St. Georges, Que. The Langley rider was behind only race winner Rory Sutherland and runner-up Hugo Houle.

Sutherland won the sixstage race, which covered 757 kilometres, in 19:07.19. Houle finished 19 seconds back of Sutherland while Meier was 43 behind top spot. The six-stage race, which covered 757 kilometres, wrapped up on Sunday in St. Georges, Que. Another Langley rider, Svein Tuft, had won the fourth stage last Friday, winning the 21-kilometre time trial in 27:09. He finished in

fourth place overall, 1:06 behind Sutherland. Aldergrove’s Marsh Cooper was 15th overall and finished second in the final stage of the race on Sunday. His overall time was 19:10.40. Both Langley riders will compete this week at the national road championships as they look to earn a spot representing Canada at the London Olympics this summer.

Langley Athletic struck for a season-high five goals as they downed Victoria United 5-3 on Saturday.And the U21 Premier men’s soccer team followed that up with a 1-1 draw against the Vancouver Thunderbirds. The results improve Langley Athletic to 3-5-2 in the Pacific Coast Soccer League. In the first game, played at Victoria’s Royal Athletic Park, Nate Turner scored twice while Andy Phillips, Tyson Keam and Joseph Martin had a goal apiece. The draw with Vancouver, played at Thunderbird Stadium, Carlos Del Aguila scored the lone Langley goal. ••••• It was a weekend of mixed results for the Fraser Valley Action. On Saturday, the Premier women’s soccer team pumped in five goals in a 5-2 victory over Peninsula Co-op. But the next night, on the road at Ambleside Park, the Action lost 2-1 to West Vancouver FC. Daniela Hampton had the lone goal in the loss. In the victory, which was played at Trinity Western University’s Rogers Park, Hampton scored twice and Kristen Santona, Jennifer Castillo ad Jenna Dinunzio had the other goals. Fraser Valley is 4-1-2 in the Pacific Coast Soccer League. ••••• It was a great first impression for pitcher Devon Stewart. Making his Langley Senior Blaze season debut, Stewart pitched five innings of shutout ball, allowing just two hits in a 3-0 victory over visiting Burnaby Collegiate on Monday at McLeod Park. The win improved the Langley baseball squad to 7-1 in the Pacific International League standings. Aaron Dick and Dillon Reynolds both pitched one inning in relief. Scott Webster had a two-run double and Ricky Alvarez had an RBI.

CAR CARE & REPAIR Drive Smart And Save Gas Money With no end in sight to rising gas prices, consumers who modify their driving habits and properly maintain their vehicles will get more kilometres per litre. Be Car Care Aware Canada recommends the following ways to drive smart and save gas money: • Observe speed limits. Fuel efficiency decreases rapidly above 100 km/h. • Avoid idling. Idling gets zero kilometres per litre. Warming up the vehicle for one or two minutes is sufficient. • Avoid quick starts and stops, they can lower fuel efficiency by 33 per cent on the highway and five per cent in the city. • Consolidate trips. Several short trips can use twice as much gas as one longer multi-purpose trip. • Don't haul unneeded items. An extra 45 kilograms in the trunk reduces fuel efficiency by 1 to 2%. • Check the gas cap. Damaged, loose or missing gas caps allow gas to vaporize into the air.

• Replace dirty or clogged air filters to improve fuel efficiency by as much as 14 per cent. • Replace dirty spark plugs, which can decrease fuel efficiency by .85 kilometres per litre. • Change oil regularly to gain an additional .5 kilometres per litre. • Keep properly tuned to improve fuel consumption an average of 4 per cent. • Keep tires properly inflated and improve fuel consumption by 3 per cent.

Though it’s been eleven years, Since you were called away, The memories are still strong, And we wish you were here today, There is a place in our hearts, Which is yours alone, A place in our lives, No one can else can ever own. We hold back tears when, We speak your name, But the ache in our hearts, Remains the same, Deep in our hearts You’ll always stay. Loved and remembered every day. From your loving wife Katie and family.

PHOENIX, Elizabeth “Betty” W C (nee Keith)

He is lovingly remembered by his parents; Lori (Steve), brother Hayden and sister Lily as well as papa Dale, grandpa Larry, grandpa and grandma Boivin, grandpa and nana Davies, Auntie Lisa, Uncle Dan, Uncle Ron, Uncle Mike and cousins Jasmine and Jordan. He is predeceased by his umma Judie Johnson. A Celebration of Life will be held at Christian Life Assembly 21277 56 Avenue, Langley on Tuesday June 26, 2012 at 2:00pm. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to a charity of your choice.

Passed away on 5 June, at her home in Langley, BC, at the age of 71. Predeceased by her father, Macdonald A Keith 1943, in Voi, Kenya and her mother, Elizabeth “Betty” C W Keith / Johnston 2009, in Langley, BC. Betty was born in Kirkcaldy, Scotland. As a young girl she immigrated with her mother to Canada in 1953. She later returned to Scotland to further her education in nursing and it was there that she met the love of her life, Derek (on a blind date). They married, started a family and in 1969 immigrated with their two eldest children to Canada where they settled in the Lower Mainland. They welcomed two more children soon after. Betty’s career began at Surrey Memorial Hospital in 1976, where she worked in the Hematology Lab, later moving into the role of Supervisor. Betty retired in 2001 and spent her retirement years enjoying time with her family and many friends. Betty was always there to lend an ear, extend a hug and provide encouragement to others. Betty also found time to pursue some of her passions including: gardening, photography and cooking. Betty will be deeply missed by her loving husband Derek of 46 years, four children Greg (Keri), Steve (Tanya), Sean (Charlene) and Tracy (Keith), ten grandchildren Amanda, Kamryn, Ashley, Derek, Lauren, Halle, Colin, Lizzie, Maddie and Hayden, one great-grandchild Dakoda, sister-in-law Hazel (Robin) along with many dear friends and family in Canada, Scotland and England. The family would like to thank the ALS team at GF Strong, Langley Palliative Care Services, the ALS Society of BC for their support, and the caregivers from Cornerstone and Bayshore for the compassionate care she received at home. A celebration of Betty’s life will be held Tues 26 June from 2-4 pm at Newlands Golf & Country Club, 21025-48 Ave, Langley. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to the ALS Society of BC.

Darren had an endless sense of adventure, his gold panning and warm weather treks took him far & wide; and he made friends wherever he went. Darren was truly happy outdoors; he felt at home living in the mountains with his dogs for weeks at a time or trekking through jungles with friends. Darren was a creative soul and he was excellent at working with his hands whether building furniture or carving soap stones or making jewellery & clocks with the gold he panned. Darren had a mischievous smile, a twinkle in his eye and he lived life with a big heart and open mind. He never judged people, anyone was welcome at his table. He was his own man and lived his life the way he wanted to live it. Predeceased by his dad Walter, survived and so very loved by his mom Clara, sister Shelley and Lizanne and by his brother-in-law and friend Randy & brother-in-law Mike, nephew Steven and niece, Katie, his special Auntie Diane as well as uncles, cousins & friends. Gone too soon, Darren had lots of living left he wanted to do. We also wish he could have got to do it and come home and share his stories and pictures with us the way he always has. Darren you are forever loved and you will be missed more than you could ever know, you will always be with us. To remember Darren, please join us at the Langley Golf & Banquet Centre, 21550 - 44th Ave. Wed. June 27th 5 p.m.
