Ferry owner owes Township $100,000 Gerald Tapp has not paid a penny of 10-year-old debt MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
The Langley man whose ship graveyard in Mission has been making headlines will be on the hook for around $100,000, for the provincial government’s costs of securing seven derelict boats from washing away, including a rotting Queen of Sidney moored on the Fraser River in Mission. But the lawyer for Langley Township says Gerald Tapp also owes nearly that same amount for a similar situation in 2002. So far, he hasn’t paid a dime, said Township lawyer James Goulden of Bull, Housser & Tupper. The Township was awarded a judgment in 2002 to clean up a property he owns in the 24900 block of River Road. That property had “unlawful dwelling unit, the unlawful shed, the unlawful float homes and barges, the unlawful trailer, all unlawful construction, as well as rubbish, discarded items, pieces of wood, paint cans, tarps, hoses, wrecked motor vehicles and other miscellaneous chattels,” said the Supreme Court Judge Davies in his 2002 judgment. “The clean up cost was $75,000. That was 10 years ago, so plus interest, we are looking at around $100,000 he hasn’t paid,” said Goulden. “The money he owes has been put against the title of his property.” A piling company hired by the province worked to secure the former Queen of Sidney ferry and six other derelict ships moored at Tapp’s waterfront property in Mission on Friday. Bridges, power transmission lines and the downriver house boating community were at risk if the ships were pulled loose by floodwaters and swept downstream. B.C.’s environment minister issued an emergency declaration last week and experts came into to secure the ships so they could withstand the rigors of this year’s freshet. Inside the former BC Ferry are a collection of classic cars and other vehicles and furniture. On Wednesday, the Ministry of Environment said it will attempt to recover its costs from the Tapps under the provisions of the B.C. Environmental Management Act.

Flood evacuation alert lifted Staff writer
An evacuation alert issued by the Township of Langley two weeks ago has been rescinded. The alert was issued June 20 to residents in the unprotected areas of Glen Valley, Northwest Langley, Brae Island and McMillan Island, as the Fraser River continued to rise and threatened to overflow its banks. However, the water level is now receding and the fear of flooding in low-lying areas is over, the Township says. “The Township of Lang-

ley would like to thank everyone involved with and affected by this year’s freshet, especially those in the 147 homes and business who were put on evacuation alert. “We appreciate their patience and cooperation,” said Township Director of Public Works Roeland Zwaag. “We also want to thank members of the public for their understanding as rising waters caused roads, trails, and Fort Langley’s Marina Park to be shut down.” The alert was part of a

comprehensive flood plan that is followed by Langley Township each year during freshet season.
As the Fraser River rises, monitoring and levels of action also escalate to ensure public safety. “The well-being of everyone who lives and works here is our top priority and we have to be prepared for whatever happens,” Zwaag said. “Thankfully we didn’t experience the type of flooding that was seen in other parts of the province, but it is better to be safe than sorry.” The Marina Park boat launch and the portions of the Fortto-Fort Trail are still closed, and will remain that way until water levels recede further.

Woman hit by truck still critical A 42-year-old Langley woman who was hit by a pickup truck in a marked crosswalk on 200 Street last Wednesday is still in critical condition in hospital, said police. Her condition hadn’t improved as of Tuesday, said police spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. The investigation into the crash is still ongoing so it isn’t known at this time whether the driver who hit the woman will be charged or not. He remained on scene. The woman was struck while she was crossing the busy crosswalk of 200 Street and 53 Avenue, just before school was being let out at the neighbouring Nicomekl Elementary. She suffered head injuries and was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital. Online comments on the story on The Times’ website indicate that the marked crosswalk on 200 Street can be dangerous, with drivers not paying attention or driving carelessly and speeding.

Emergency crews prepare the victim of a mini-bike crash to be airlifted to hospital on Saturday. Police say the 35-year-old Langley man was not wearing a helmet when he slid the unlicenced bike into a parked car.
Mini bike crash driver wasn’t wearing helmet Alcohol may have been a factor in early morning collision with parked car MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
A 35-year-old Langley man is in critical condition in hospital, after crashing a mini-bike and sliding into a parked car on Saturday morning. Police are saying the man wasn’t wearing a helmet and alcohol may have played a role in this crash. Around 1:30 a.m., Langley RCMP were called out to the 21000 block of 84 Avenue to find the operator of what was actually a small motorcycle suffering from head injuries.
Witnesses said the man had been riding up and down the street and had lost control of the bike while trying to negotiate a corner. He fell off the bike and slid into a parked car. The 35-year-old was taken to hospital by air ambulance where he remains in critical condition, said police spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. The air ambulance landed at Yorkson Community Park. Police believe alcohol was a factor in the collision and are requesting a warrant to determine the man’s blood-alcohol content, she said.
The small motorcycle does not appear to be licensed and police will recommend appropriate charges once all the evidence has been collected. “Recent statistics indicate that one in five motorcycle crashes results in head or neck injuries. Wearing a helmet is one of the most important factors in preventing or reducing these injuries,” said Marks. “The law requires motorcycle operators and passengers to wear an approved motorcycle safety helmet. An operator not wearing a helmet combined with the consumption alcohol could prove deadly.”

Traffic stop nets criminals A traffic stop in White Rock put three accused thieves behind bars for home breakins in Langley, Sechelt and Vancouver. On June 20, just after 1 a.m., White Rock RCMP officers conducted a traffic stop in the 800 block of 160 Street. Information gathered during this stop sparked a multijurisdiction police investigation. Using a search warrant police recovered items stolen from home robberies in Sechelt, Vancouver and Langley. Two men, James Moore, 28, and Michael Boretsy, 28, of Surrey and a female, Afsenah Bayazidi, 18, of Vancouver have all been charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000. Moore has also been charged with two counts of break and enter, one for an incident which occurred in Vancouver in May and another in Langley in June. The White Rock RCMP are continuing the investigation with partnerships in Langley, Sechelt and Vancouver, and are hopeful that further charges will result.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t broke, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fix it,â&#x20AC;? was the sentiment of Langley Township council. It voted against an idea to eliminate recording who moves and seconds motions brought to the table. The motion to discontinue recording movers and seconders in the minutes was to â&#x20AC;&#x153;depersonalize and depoliticize the decision making process,â&#x20AC;? said the report to council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m newer, I am supporting this motion,â&#x20AC;? said Councillor Bev Dornan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I may second a motion just to create discussion, not necessarily because I support it. Maybe not having the secondBev Dornan erâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name recorded may foster more discussion.â&#x20AC;? Councillor Bob Long disagreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel we want to protect public records and be able to see who moved what and why,â&#x20AC;? said Long. Councillor Steve Ferguson said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a traditional guy who wants to stick to the Townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe I like going back to the 1987 records and seeing my name in print,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can be anonymous everywhere in the new world, from Twitter to other social media. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think this is where we should be anonymous,â&#x20AC;? Ferguson said. Councillor Kim Richter said the plan would sanitize the public records and leave council less accountable to the people who voted them in. Mayor Jack Froese said he brought the idea up, because it made sense to him to not bog the process down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have slates here. In the short time as mayor this council will leave a legacy of good governance,â&#x20AC;? said Froese, who was in favour of not recording who moves and who seconds motions.

Canada Day events attract 40,000 to McLeod MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter
Despite being rained out on Saturday, Canada Day celebrations at McLeod Athletic Park were a great success, said Travis Strain, president of the Langley Canada Day Society. Once the weather dried up on Sunday, the grounds were packed with families enjoying the entertainment and midway games set up. An estimated 40,000 people came out to the event over the two days, which is lower than the crowds of 50,000 that are normally seen. “The weather is one of the
biggest worries we have that we can’t control at an event like this,” Strain said. “But the entertainment was top notch, the midway was full and I think people had a really good time.” This is the only two-day Canada Day celebration in western Canada and is largely geared towards families, something that Strain says sets them apart from other nearby events. “We have a lot of family-orineted things and that’s the feedback that we keep getting,” he said. “People are really thankful that we are a family-oriented event.”
CounterAttacks are back
Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times
Logan Hawkes, 2, and Mackenzie Billon, 3, explore a fire truck at the Canada Day celebrations at McLeod Athletic Park. Wet weather Saturday dampened attendance, but the crowds on Sunday were good, said president Travis Strain.
Every year, around 36 people are killed in the Lower Mainland in impaired-related crashes. In Langley alone, on average, four people are killed in drunk driving related crashes each year. On June 29, the provincial government, police and ICBC launched this summer’s impaired driving CounterAttack campaign. Throughout the summer, police across the province will
be checking for impaired drivers at CounterAttack roadchecks. On June 15, B.C.’s tough administrative penalties for drinking and driving returned to the roadside, after a successful court challenge. There is a more rigorous roadside and appeal process. The penalties remain unchanged. Drivers can request a second breath test on a second screening device.

Glen Valley residents step up land sale protest 1,000-name petition, children’s drawings presented to Township heritage. It predates most of our buildings,” said Glen Valley resident Barbara Shelly. “Forests that are this old really give a reminder of our heritage and our continued history. How rarely we get to experience a forest like this,” she said. The land was put up for sale on the BC bid website in May and and was closed on June 29 at 2 p.m. Township staff will now present a report to council on July 23. It will then be up to council to decide whether to accept a bid, put the land back up for sale or take it off the market entirely. The BC Bid process is one of three vehicles the Township uses when selling land, said Scott Thompson, manager of property services for the Township. They may also use their own staff to try to sell property or engage the services of real estate agents. “Depending on what kind of property it is, where it’s located, we’ve been having some success to date with using BC bid,” Thompson said. “That is more typically the start of the process and then we’ll try to sell it on our own
Nearly 1,000 names have been collected so far on a petition to stop the sale of Township land at 252 Street and 84 Avenue in Glen Valley. The land, which nearby residents believe is a park, is full of mature conifers and is popular among local walkers and cyclists. It is part of eight parcels of Township land in Glen Valley that have been slated for sale to raise funds for purchasing Aldergrove Elementary School, which will be converted into a community centre. But neighbours to the Glen Valley property believe the land is a unique spot in Langley and should be left alone. The petition, along with many drawings from children depicting the forest, were hand delivered to the Township civic facility on Tuesday. They have signatures from as far away as the United Kingdom, Belize and South Africa. “We try to preserve our history in terms of wonderful heritage sites. (The forest) is living

after that and finally use the services of realtors.” Erin Perry, who moved to the area five years ago, says the first time she took her kids for a walk in the forest “it was like a fairy garden.” Her family walks and rides their bikes down there regularly — often on a weekly basis, depending on the season. “It’s become a special place for my kids as each year they’ve grown,” she said. It is also a place of “peace, serenity, and quiet,” said Ellen Klemm, a longtime resident of the area. She describes her relationship to the forest as “a love affair” and says its important to preserve it for our kids and grandchildren. “Kids are becoming out of touch with nature,” she said.“It is important that we save this site for them.” Petitions are still available at Wendel’s Cafe in Fort Langley, 9233 Glover Rd., or online at www.ipetitions.com.

THEY SAY
Speaking of the weather
Thinking long-term
“E
veryone talks about it, but no one does anything about it.” Those famous words about weather, likely from Charles Dudley Warner but usually attributed to Mark Twain, summarize the conversation in most homes, offices and gathering places these days. The Lower Mainland and much of the B.C. coast has been hit with an unending wave of cold fronts, wet weather and generally miserable conditions — particularly for the summer months. While wet weather isn’t unusual in June and early July, there usually isn’t quite so much of it. And the temperatures are often substantially higher than they’ve been. Afternoon temperatures often aren’t much different than they are in the mornings. The evidence of this isn’t hard to find. Look at people’s gardens and farmers’ fields. Crops simply aren’t flourishing the way they usually are at this time of year. We are told the weather is about to get better, and almost certainly most of us want to believe that. But the weather has been so miserable for so long, and a number of forecasts have missed the mark recently, so there are a lot of skeptics out there. One of the great things about the comment on the weather is that it is so deadly accurate. Weather is a topic that almost everyone has an opinion on. People are willing to discuss it with others, even complete strangers. There are very few other topics that elicit so much comment. That’s natural of course, because weather affects everyone. Even in this day and age where so many people make their living indoors, and weather is not vital to their economic security, it still affects their plans. Where will they go on vacation? What will they do this evening? Is it worth putting shorts on? So many of the decisions that each of us make each day are weatherrelated, even if we don’t really think so. It is built into our pattern of thinking. One thing that the B.C. coast is known for in the summer months is moderate temperatures, usually with a fair bit of sun. But there are also cloudy days, and there are rainy days. There aren’t too many thunderstorms, and the temperatures rarely hit 30 degrees. This year, there has been an unrelenting series of wet weather events with lower than usual temperatures, and that has everybody talking about the weather even more than usual.

e’ve all seen at least one of them — the bumper sticker on a trailer or RV that reads, “I’m spending my grandchildrens’ inheritance.” It’s supposed to be funny or clever or otherwise amusing, but it’s not. It’s true. We’re burning their oil, polluting their water, spending their money and generally wrecking their planet — and they won’t thank us for it. Back in 1992, the International Institute for Sustainable Development made a point of calling for governments to look down the road. “We cannot simply think of our survival; each new generation is responsible to ensure the survival of the seventh generation. The prophecy given to us, tells us that what we do today will affect the seventh generation and because of this we must bear in mind our responsibility to them today and always.” The idea of looking seven generations down the road is a key component we should all be thinking about particularly hard these days as the climate continues to change and our leaders and the power structures that support them seem not only unable but also entirely unwilling to do anything about it. In fact, the Canadian government is rolling back even the entirely insufficient measures that have been taken in a race to develop and export as much of Canada’s rich resource heritage as quickly as possible. There’s a good reason for that, of course. Our corporate culture demands the maximization of profit and it demands it now. Future generations don’t count. We should think about why that is and what we can do about it. We’re running out of time to make the changes they need. —Comox Valley Record The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Langley Times
Editor: I read in The Times (June 28) about the Township selling trees in order to raise enough money to buy the Aldergrove
elementary school and turn it into a new community centre. What is the deal with cutting down trees? Do these people
wrong with the one we have? We can’t get a pool here, but we are going to have two community centres.They are looking at potentially $2 million from the sale of the trees — more than the cost of the school. If the Township buys the school, it certainly won’t be used the way it is. It will probably be gutted in order to meet their idea of what we need, and more money will be thrown into it. If this goes ahead, what happens to the other community centre, and the library? Will the library want to move to Aldergrove elementary, or will the library have a choice? Does the Township plan to sell the current centre and somehow turn it into a pool? That would be the carrot they continually dangle for us to grasp at, so that we won’t disagree with what they are doing. Why spend more money to change what is already a functioning building into something it isn’t, and spend more to change another building into something we already have and is paid for? I don’t get it. Who is it that keeps making these decisions? Do they ever ask the community what it wants? Having another community cen-

Harry HUNT/Black Press
Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese stands in front of the former Aldergrove Elementary School. Froese holds plans for a proposed community centre and swimming pool for the site.
Proposed building too much for Fort Langley Editor: There are two development projects proposed in Fort Langley at present. McBride Station is a 4.5-acre residential development behind the fire hall. Lanstone Homes has gone to great effort in its proposal to blend into the neighbouring housing. It has taken detail features of homes from the past, incorporating them into the design and giving fantastic continuation of our history. I look forward to seeing further development plans. The second proposal is for a three-storey building that is of a size and design that has nothing in common with the existing street and pays respect to our heritage in name only. I am never quite sure why some people look The
at the village as if it needs all the economic components to make it whole. Fort Langley is only one part of the the Township of Langley. There is Gloucester Estates for industry, a large shopping centre on the Bypass corridor and office space a-plenty on the west side of Walnut Grove. What about Fort Langley? We are the cultural and recreational component. We offer a part of life that is missing in many communities. Having said that, the village is a one of a kind community in the Lower Mainland. Our design features should come from what little we have of our history, and not from other trendsetting developments. The Township did not arbi-
trarily bring in the height restriction. This was accomplished after years of studies, starting in the mid-1980s and culminating in 1992. The height restriction was enacted with thorough discussion. Sewer was coming to the commercial core and the concern by council, residents and commercial owners was the potential to overbuild with three storeys. It was excellent foresight by those with vision in keeping with our lifestyle. Yes, we do have two three-storey commercial buildings. They were built just before the height restriction came into effect. Do we want more three-storey buildings in the village commercial core, overshadowing our
tre, or replacing the one we have, would not be on top of their wish list. We want a indoor pool. Why is this request never followed through on, especially after all the studies that keep being done on it. The last time it was supposedly going to be done it was going to be attached to the current community centre, on ground owned by the Township. If this had gone ahead as planned, I would have been swimming in it for the past two to three years. But no, there is still no sign of an indoor pool. Councillor Charlie Fox stated that they were going to buy the Aldergrove elementary school and put the pool there, because it was more local. Two blocks away isn’t local? I don’t agree with selling trees to gain money. The purpose of the trees far outweighs what the sale of them will be used for. This is not using our resources for the good of the community. Councillors need to give their heads a shake. It seems whenever they decide what is good for Aldergrove, it is never what Aldergrove wants or needs. Sharon Lamb, Aldergrove
ON THE WAY OUT
community hall? I appreciate property owner Eric Woodward’s efforts to date with the mall and the west side of Glover Road. However, this new proposal does not match the existing landscape of Glover Road. The building has no relationship with our past and is not in keeping with the design guidelines laid out in the Official Community plan. This is an important location and I look forward to seeing a new building there. However, it would be a letdown to see it dwarf all the other existing businesses and not to look a bit deeper for a design that pulls from our past. Andy Schildhorn, Langley
Editor: It’s yet another present from our soon to be gone provincial government. The rip-off carbon tax on gas rose again on Sunday. The only consolation for me is the next provincial election is in May of 2013. That is when the BC Lie-berals will cease to exist. What will happen to them is exactly the same thing that happened to the BC Social Credit Party over 20 years ago — they will be made extinct by the electorate. I, for one, can hardly wait, Bye bye, Christy. Do not forget to turn off the lights and lock the door on your way out. Jack McEwen, Langley

More details given on how roundabouts work On Tuesday, The Times published a letter asking for more information on how roundabouts work. We printed the address of a ministry of transportation and highways website, which explains in more detail how roundabouts work and gives tips to drivers. It also includes some visual aids. For the benefit of those without access to the Internet, here are the main points from that website, which can be accessed at http://www. th.gov.bc.ca/roundabouts/. A roundabout is a circular intersection without stop signs or electronic signals.Traffic flows counter-clockwise around a central island. Roundabouts are growing in popularity across Canada and the U.S. The rules are simple. 1.Approach Reduce your speed and choose your lane Watch for road signs. Watch for pedestrians and cyclists and be ready to stop.
2. Yield Always yield to traffic in the roundabout. Wait for a safe gap in the traffic, remembering that those in the roundabout have the right of way. 3. Enter Enter the roundabout to your right. Continue counter-clockwise until you reach your exit. 4. Exit Use your right turn signal before exiting Watch for pedestrians and cyclists “Roundabouts improve safety by reducing serious crashes caused by t-bone collisions. They also help slow motorists down, improve traffic flow and reduce pollution caused by idling,” says Transportation and Highways Minister Blair Lekstrom. In Langley, the roundabout at 232 Street and 56 Avenue is almost complete, and a roundabout at the Five Corners in Murrayville has been functioning for several years.
Using signals important Editor: The website posted by The Times (July 2) regarding roundabout usage was very interesting. Of particular note was Rule #4, “use your right turn signal before exiting.” This is a very seldomused rule at all roundabouts in Langley. Because of this, it turns the roundabout into a two-way stop for every-
one else, waiting to guess where non-compliant drivers are going to exit. The Motor Vehicle Act, section 170, proffers a fine of $121 and two penalty points for not using turn signals in a roundabout. Let’s start using them, eh? J. Beauman, Langley

The proposition for them will boil down to this: You can pay more or you can have fewer sailings. And where the boat is a third full, you will have fewer sailings. This consultation period is an opportunity to ask some hard questions. For instance, does Saltspring Island really need three ferry terminals? Macatee’s term as commissioner started with a detailed review last year that pointed to some other ways to save serious money. But CEO Corrigan says there are no quick fixes. FortisBC has offered an $11 million incentive for conversion of marine vessels to natural gas, which would give the fleet significant relief from spiraling fuel costs. But a ferry conversion would take six months or more, and another vessel would be needed in the meantime. Another promising suggestion is overhauling the ferry reservation service, making reservations free and charging extra for those who just show up. Corrigan says a computer reservation overhaul is underway, but will take three years. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Defying and re-defining the aging process T
he horse world, like the fashion world, relies to a large extent on illusion, or the self-delusion of its participants. I am, and will always be, a size 8. The fact that the size listed on the label of the clothes I wear has two numbers side by side instead of one changes nothing. It’s a mistake, a cruel joke played by Chinese manufacturers on western women. I am also part of a growing group of senior riders and carriage drivers who are getting better at horse sports as we get older. We are defying and re-defining the aging process. The fact that our mounting blocks are getting higher, our horses are getting shorter, and we have more accidents than we used to means nothing. We spend a fortune on lessons and clinics and have the best equipment money can buy. Of course we are improving.
A clever driving coach suggested I team up with another senior driving student to make our practice sessions at home with our horses safer.“Driving is not a solitary sport, you know. You could help each other out,” she suggested. What she meant was that two broken down old ladies working together will last longer together than separately. Two arthritic 60 somethings together equal one fit 30-year-old, don’t they? Our delusions extend to our horses as well. My driving buddy’s horse I have nicknamed George the Dragon.

Grade 12 students headed to university a full year early MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
They may have only completed Grade 11, but 22 hand-picked Langley high school students are heading to university next September. On June 20, 12 Langley Secondary students and 10 from Brookswood Secondary spent the day being toured around the Kwantlen Polytechnic University campus where they will take one course per semester as part of the school district’s new program called Xcel. The pilot project allows Grade 12 students to attend one university course each semester, in the evening, but must still take a minimum of six high school courses at the same time. Courses included in the Xcel program cover a range of concentrations including criminology, international relations, marketing, business

The bonus is that the district is paying the students’ tuition fees and Kwantlen has waived the application and student fees. The only cost is textbooks. “This is great for students looking to get a degree because these are breadth courses they are taking so they will fit into every type of degree,” said Pat Rosen, a career education teacher who has become part of
organizing the Xcel program. The dual credit was developed over a year by the LSS and Brookswood principals. The students that have been chosen for next year’s program were picked by student counsellors who made a list of teens that could handle the course load and not “crash and burn,” said Rosen. Once the students expressed an interest, they needed to be on the honour roll, provide two references
from teachers, write an essay and then be approved by a committee. “We had amazing responses from the students who wrote essays showing that the sky’s the limit where they see themselves going in the future,” said Rosen. The Xcel program will be opened up to other schools after this group of students go through.

Mozzy population expected to be high Just when you think you might be able to come out from this cold summer and get some fresh air, the mosquitoes will be hatching into life. When flood waters recede and weather warms up, the mosquitoes
are predicted to be pretty bad this year. The Township is doing its part to keep them at bay. Larvicide treatments took place in Glen Valley from June 30 to July 1.
Through the month of July, periodic treatments, as required, will continue to be completed around Fort Langley on Brae and McMillan Islands by the Township’s nuisance mosquito control contractor, Culex Environment.

Maybe this jewel thief is getting married. Langley RCMP are hoping someone can identify this person of interest relative to a jewelry theft of a man and woman’s rings. On May 15, at approximately 5:30 p.m., a man entered Celini Jewelers in Willowbrook Shopping Centre and began a conversation with a salesperson. He asked to see a lady’s ring and once he had it in his hand, he walked to the men’s rings and asked to see another. The salesperson asked to have the lady’s ring back, however the man simply grabbed the men’s ring and fled the store through the mall. The man is described as Caucasian, approximately 20 years old, 5’9”, 165 lbs., light to medium build. He was wearing a white T-shirt and black cotton pants, carrying a black shoulder bag.

“I would have all the arts draw together, recover their ancient association, the painter painting what the poet has written, the musicians setting the poet’s words to simple airs, that the horse-man and engine-driver may sing at their work.”
– WB Yeats
Assembly of the arts
BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
Inspired by the poetry of William Butler Yeats, Fort Langley’s David James is preparing to offer his hometown “a weekend brush with the arts,” this summer, drawing together artists in a range of mediums, all within a few square blocks. From children’s entertainment to story telling, jazz, gospel and blues, from poetry readings to artists painting en plein air, the weekend of July 28 and 29 will have something to offer art lovers of all descriptions, said James. As chair of a committee comprised of a number of high profile Langley artists — including painters, musicians and playwrights — James is getting set to present the first annual Fort Langley Celebration of the Arts later this month at a trio of Fort Langley venues.
There will be children’s entertainment and crafts at the Chief Sepass Theatre, music at the historic hall and a poetry reading at the museum by Susan McCaslin (see interview below). The public can spend each day strolling the historic town and take in a range of acts and activities. After organizing a similar event — the Fort Langley Festival of the Performing Arts — back in the 1980s, James had been toying with the idea of starting another, similar festival. “The experience years ago gave me a positive image of what could be done,” he said. Then he opened a volume of poetry, and everything seemed to fall into place as he read the lines composed by the Irish poet and playwright. “I’m a fan of Yeats. continued, PAGE 18

Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann, known collectively as The Bergmann Piano Duo, are among the artists who will perform during the upcoming Fort Langley Celebration of the Arts. The two-day festival, scheduled for July 28 and 29, will bring together musicians, poets, painters, storytellers and children’s entertainers at a trio of venues in the historic village of Fort Langley.
Go Skydiving with Susan McCaslin Susan McCaslin is a Canadian poet and Faculty Emeritus of Douglas College in New Westminster, where she taught for 23 years. She is the author of 11 volumes of poetry, including her most recent, Demeter Goes Skydiving. She recently published a volume of essays, Arousing the Spirit: Provocative Writings. When not at her computer, McCaslin can be found being walked by her mini-Australian shepherd while composing odes on the dikes around Fort Langley. A retired English and creative writing professor, McCaslin finally gets to be a fulltime poet and author. She divides her time between Victoria and Fort Langley. www.susanmccaslin.ca. Langley Times: How/why did you decide to become a poet? Susan McCaslin: From childhood I had a fascination with the rhythms, sounds, and meanings of words, discovering when I was about seven my school teacher aunt’s amazing book collection stored in the recesses of my parents’ basement. She had left a musty anthology series called Journeys Through Bookland filled with nursery rhymes and poetry by the greats, everything from Homer through to Tennyson, Emily Dickinson, and the
moderns. I became an avid reader and wanted to emulate these poets in my own small way. In Grade 7 I showed some of my embryonic efforts to an encouraging English teacher who told me to keep on writing, and kindly assigned me the position of “literary editor” of the student newspaper. Then I lucked out and encountered a series of inspiring poetry mentors in university, including poet Robin Blaser at SFU. In my early 20s I started to feel I had a “vocation,” a calling to be a poet. Susan McCaslin will read from her LT: Normally, when we think of poets, the ones who come to mind lived in an earlier century. What are some of the challenges/rewards of being a 21st century poet? SM: It never bothered me that poetry isn’t the most popular form of literature at this time. Its heightened energy, musicality, imagery, and meaning is the language of the soul. I think people are unnecessarily afraid of poetry because it was presented to them at some point as esoteric and difficult. But actually, it’s the language of children, song lyricists, and rap artists. Poetry is alive and well among us if you look and listen. I’m most alive, most happy,
latest volume of poetry Demeter Goes Skydiving, at the Fort Langley Celebration of the Arts.
even ecstatic, when in the process of writing, which is a process of discovery. LT: What subjects/objects/ideas are most likely to inspire you to write? SM: I’m inspired by herons, the Fraser River, and giant Douglas firs. I’m inspired by the intersection of the natural world and the interior worlds of mind and feeling. For a long time, I’ve been fascinated with how the major spiritual and religious traditions of the world (at their deepest
levels) intersect, pointing to a common unity. Each tradition is a unique path to the divine. They are all different but can gain from mutual respect. Right now I’m writing a new series of “peace poems.” I’m an inveterate peace poet because I’m so drawn by how everything is interconnected. Poems often begin for me with an image or a sound pattern and then I work and work to find the rest of the words that belong with that initial inspiration. LT: What can the audience expect from your upcoming reading? SM: What is truly special about the upcoming Fort Langley celebration of the arts is that it brings together the various art forms and makes them accessible to the community, not just to other artists. I’m tremendously excited about working with the superb jazz pianist, Amanda Tosoff. We will be improvising together, twinning the two kinds of music, voice and instrumentation. Art isn’t for a small coterie of specialists but a universal form of play that speaks to our common humanity in the here and now. Bringing the arts together is “where it’s at.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I read those lines in a book, I thought â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;this is a signal.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Growing up in Wales, music was a big part of Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; early life. After coming to Canada, he kept that affinity for the arts alive, by regularly attending the theatre and concerts. The upcoming festival is an opportunity to share his passion for art and music with a wider audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 28-29 weekend of July 2012 will see our village transformed into a toe-tapping tapestry of tunes, as well as of other creative performances and varieties of artistic expression,â&#x20AC;? wrote James, describing the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision for the festival. Supported in their inaugural year by the Fort Langley Community Improvement Society
with $1,000 in seed money and use of the historic Community Hall at no charge, festival organizers will become eligible for a government grant next year, explained James. In the meantime, he said, the response from the community has exceeded his expectations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is an incredible amount of support and generosity within the community.

Bosa Properties brings parking innovation to Jameson House
Parking without the hassle Bosa Properties is bringing innovation to one of life’s little annoyances with its automated parking system at its Jameson House development in Coal Harbour. “The parking garage would have been 12 levels” if Bosa had gone with a conventional parking system, says Senior Vice-President Daryl Simpson. There are 250 parking spots in the development, and two transfer stations to move the cars. Simpson says the wait time to park and retrieve the car is about two minutes, but it depends on how many others are waiting. “It’s quicker than driving around and around,” he says, adding that this
system is the first of its kind in Canada, and the second-largest in North America. Homeowners pull into the garage and drive their car onto one of the stations. Then, you lock their car and type in your PIN. You can then go up to your home while the machines move the car into one of the spaces below. When you want to retrieve your car, you go back to the garage and type in your PIN. Your car will appear, and you’re on your way. The homes at Jameson House are now sold out, but with the popularity of the automated parking system, it’s only a matter of time until the technology is used elsewhere.
adjust the thermostat and view the inside of your home from a video camera in the centre of the home. The Lakefront homes include some upgrades as standard items, including hardwood floors on the main level and granite countertops in the kitchen, among several other things. The screened porches at the Cottages are referred to as summer rooms, and overlook the landscape. They are perfect for a mid-summer snooze, catching up with a good book or a quiet cup of coffee watching the sunrise. There is no shortage of ways to wile away your time in Osoyoos. The surrounding area itself is rich in things to do, from touring the amazing nearby wineries to floating around on Osoyoos Lake. Hiking and biking trails are
abundant, or you can book a round of golf at one of the golf courses. If you’re around in the winter, winter sports on Mount Baldy are only about 40 minutes away, or you can venture a bit farther afield to Penticton’s Apex Mountain. The price has been one of the biggest draws for people who have already purchased a cottage. “Where else could you get a 930-square-foot detached home, a three-minute barefoot walk from the lake for under $305,000, including all applicable taxes?” asks Van Maren. “Our prices are lower than many new apartment condos that aren’t even on the water.” Cottages start at $305,000. For more information, visit osoyooscottages.com or call 1-855-742-5555.
Spending the summer at the cottage
Waterfront living at The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake by Kerry Vital
Whether you’re looking for a vacation spot for the whole family or a place to retire after years of hard work, you need look no further than The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake, located right on the shores of the beautiful lake. “We found a spectacular waterfront property at a very affordable price, on Canada’s warmest lake,” says Eric Van Maren, Partner of Van Maren Construction Group. “Most people from B.C., and many from Alberta, are familiar with Osoyoos and have vacationed there in the past. A property like The Cottages just can’t be purchased in the Okanagan.” With over 1,500 feet of waterfront, 500 feet of beach, two swimming pools, a 7,000-square-foot clubhouse, 20 acres of lawn, boat slips and walking trails, the Cottages are the perfect spot for families of all sizes. There are three different styles of home available, Van Maren says, and thus truly something for everyone. “The Meadow homes are most appealing for second-home buyers,” he says. “They have lots of open space between the homes where younger children can play with newly made friends. You’re never more than a few minutes walk to the lake and clubhouse.” The Lakeside homes are made for people who want to live right on the water, while the Hillside homes appeal to those looking for somewhere to live year-round, and are larger. There are 14 different two- to four-bedroom floorplans to choose from, ranging from 1,281 square feet
“
We found a spectacular waterfront property at a very affordable price, on Canada’s warmest lake,” says Eric Van Maren.
including the screened porch and open deck to over 3,000 square feet. Expansive windows on every home and cottage let the natural light pour in and allow you a beautiful view of your surroundings, while the nine-foot ceilings contribute to a great sense of space, no matter the floorplan or how many visitors you have. You will never feel cramped in the homes at The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake. All of the homes offer wood-clad vaulted ceilings. Vinyl-plank flooring throughout the main living space (with hardwood as an optional upgrade) is ready to stand up to plenty of foot traffic, while the plush carpeting on the upper floors is soft and luxurious. Each home includes a Wireless Smart Home Automation/Security system, which allows you to remotely access your cottage from your smartphone, computer or tablet. It gives you the ability to lock or unlock your doors,

The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake feature wood-clad vaulted ceilings, above, and vinyl-plank flooring thoughout the main living areas, left. Outside, the expansive windows let the light pour in. Many homes are just a barefoot walk from the lake, top, making them the perfect vacation spot.

Creating a feeling of home Mother/daughter team up to open care facility GARY AHUJA Times Reporter
Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times
Graceland Gates founders Tammie Guy and her mother Terry Loeffler with patient Dean Peterson. At age 18, Peterson was in a severe motorcycle accident and doctors gave him just one year to live. Now 50 years old, Peterson is very healthy and happy and has been living at Graceland Gates since it opened.
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. That is the philosophy Tammie Guy and her mother apply to. Guy, 45, and her 66-year-old mother, Terry Loeffler, were laid off in a span of days. Both had been working as managers of mental health facilities, with Guy running a 26-bed facility and her mom operating a 66-bed facility. This was a couple of years ago. “We took a bad turn, a closed door, stewed on it for a couple of weeks and then decided to open up our own place,” Guy said. “It took a lot of determination.” And last week, that work

Recycling, fees come to more electric gear JEFF NAGEL Black Press
Hundreds of additional electrical products — from drills and other power tools to sports equipment such as treadmills — can now be returned to B.C. depots for recycling. The July 1 expansion of the ElectroRecycle program first launched last fall means consumers are also now paying an extra recycling fee when they buy new products that are covered. A laser level sold in B.C. now costs 75 cents more, while the fees are $2.75 for sewing machines and $4.25 for exercise machines. Those charges, which fund the industry stewardship program, are in addition to fees on many other small appliances that kicked in last October, adding $2.25 to the cost of new toasters and blenders, for example, or an extra $10 for a large microwave oven. “With these new product categories, ElectroRecycle will help divert even more electrical products from disposal to resource recovery,” Recycling Council of B.C. CEO Brock Macdonald said. “The expanded program will also

help municipalities spend less on managing waste.” Whether the fees charged are separately itemized on a bill or are included in a product’s price depends on the retailer. Formerly known as Unplugged, the expanded program now covers virtually all consumer electrical products with a power plug or battery that weren’t already being collected by depots through other programs. It’s the latest in a growing set of takeback programs in B.C. where manufacturers and retailers are required by the province to set up depots to collect and recycle old items, while consumers pay recycling fees to cover the costs. Electrical products dropped off at ElectroRecyle drop-off locations are sent to processors within Canada and separated into different materials for recycling. The non-profit program is run by the Canadian Electrical Stewardship Association in partnership with B.C.based Product Care Association on a long-term cost-recovery basis.

Dolfo’s Olympic dream comes true Visually-impaired track athlete achieves goal of qualifying for London Paralympic Games GARY AHUJA Times Sports
Braedon Dolfo admits he was on pins and needles. The 18-year-old — just weeks out of high school after graduating from Langley Secondary in June — was sitting at a Calgary restaurant on Saturday night, waiting to hear if he would be selected to represent Canada at this summer’s Paralympic Games in London. “I had an idea I might make it, but I wasn’t fully sure,” Dolfo admitted. “So I was a little nervous in that sense.” And then the call came in, telling Dolfo that he would in fact wear the Maple Leaf on the world’s biggest stage. Dolfo was selected to run for Canada in the T11-13 4x100 relay. “Truthfully, it feels exhilarating,” he said. Also chosen were Jonathan Dunkerley (Ottawa), Brandon King (Brampton) and Dustin Walsh (Coquitlam). All four have varying degrees of visual impairment. Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times Dolfo is classified as a T13 Braedon Dolfo will be running at this summer’s Paralympic Games in London.

A doubleheader sweep pushed the Langley Junior Blaze’s winning streak to a dozen games. The U16 baseball team defeated the visiting Nanaimo Junior Pirates 4-1 and 10-1 on Friday (June 29) at McLeod Park to improve to 25-6 in the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League. In the opener, the teams were tied at one through much of the game, but the Blaze scored three times in the bottom of the sixth and starting pitcher Mitchell Kennedy finished his complete game by nailing down the final three outs. Kennedy allowed just three hits while striking out three as well. And in the second game, Nanaimo scored once in the top of the first inning, but after that, it was all Langley. The Blaze struck twice in the second and then four times in both the fourth and fifth innings for the 10-1 win. Andre Pelletier belted a grand slam and finished 2-for-3 with six RBIs. Grahame Bailey threw a complete game three-hitter with three strikeouts. ••••• The Thurston County Senators scored two runs in the top of the first inning and then hung on for a 2-1 victory over the Langley Senior Blaze. The two teams were playing in the quarter-finals of a baseball tournament at Kelowna’s Elks Stadioum over the weekend. Jesse Peters threw

Lovett aims for podium in Mexico
GARY AHUJA Times Sports
Despite missing the indoor season and a couple months of training, Django Lovett has recovered to represent his country. The 20-year-old is in Guanajuato, Mexico where he is representing Canada at the 2012 North American, Central
America and Caribbean (NACAC) U23 world championships this weekend (July 6-8). Last week, Lovett was in Calgary for the Canadian Olympic Trials, finishing third in the high jump at 2.16m. Had he cleared 0.15m more (2.31m), he would have qualified for the London Olympic
Games. His personal best is 2.18m. It is a far cry from where Lovett found himself back in January. Lovett, who just finished his sophomore season at the University of New Mexico, was riding his bicycle to practice when he was struck by a vehicle. While the impact was minor, it was
enough to bump him off his bike and he landed awkwardly on his ankle. “It set me back a pretty good deal,” Lovett said. Perhaps the hardest thing was having to stand on the sidelines and watch his teammates, focusing on rehabbing instead of competing. “It is always hard
July 6-8

to not be there doing what you love to do,” Lovett said. “When you can’t do what you want to do, it hurts. But you have to stay mentally positive and get through it.” “The training staff did a great job of getting me back to where I was supposed to be,” he added. But through perseverance, he found himself back competing, and did well enough to earn a berth at
the NCAA outdoor championships. He finished 19th in the country, clearing 2.15m. “Coming off the injury, I didn’t know what to expect,” he said. “I went in there with a positive attitude and a great result came out of it.” While he would have loved to have qualified for this summer’s Olympics, Lovett knows that is a goal for further down the road.
He has represented Canada previously at the the world junior championships in 2010. Lovett also won the B.C. provincial high school high jump title three years running, from 2008 to 2010 for Brookswood Secondary. And he parlayed that success into a scholarship to the University of New Mexico. He also trains in the summers with Abbotsford’s Valley Royals.

CAR CARE & REPAIR GM engineers compare fuel efficiency With the summer now here, GM is reminding motorists to maintain their vehicles and drive smarter to help improve fuel efficiency and save money at the pump. To demonstrate 10 common mistakes drivers make that hurt their fuel efficiency, General Motors fuel economy engineers Ann Wenzlick and Beth Nunning drove identical Chevrolet Cruze LTs with a Natural Resources Canada rating of 7.8 L/100 km city and 5.2 L/100 km highway, on a typical workday commute. For the route, they drove both cars for 20 minutes, including city and highway driving as well as stopping for coffee. The results show that sweating the small stuff could save drivers as much as $100 a month in
fuel costs. Wenzlick averaged 6.4 L/100 km (37 miles
per US gallon) using efficient driving habits in a properly maintained
Cruze. Driving inefficiently and ignoring common maintenance, Nunning managed only 11.2 L/100 km (21 miles per US gallon). The difference means Nunning would get almost 400 fewer kilometres per tank of gas, while Wenzlick would save $100 a month – or $1,200 a year – assuming 20,000 kilometres and $1.29 per litre for gas.
