Dragging on New Turf

Aldergrove soccer fields opened Aldergrove Star

It started with a plan to build a new soccer field in Aldergrove. But it culminated with the creation of two artificial turf fields, a parking lot, and a cash surplus that will help maintain synthetic playing surfaces throughout Langley for years to come. On August 30, members of Langley Township Council and Aldergrove soccer associations gathered for the official opening of the new soccer complex at Aldergrove Athletic Park. “All of this was accomplished thanks to dedicated partnerships, savvy financing, and good timing,” said Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese. “This is an example of what can be

achieved when people are committed and proper planning is in place. Sometimes everything just works. And in this case, local athletes and the entire community will benefit.” Funding for a new artificial turf field at the corner of 27 Avenue and 268 Street was initially approved by Township Council in the spring of 2011 after local soccer associations expressed the need for year-round playing surfaces. At that time, funding was also committed for a parking lot expansion. The project was endorsed by the Langley Outdoor Sports Advisory Group and a budget was set at just over $2 million, with Aldergrove United Soccer and Aldergrove Youth Soccer working togeth-

er to contribute $50,000. But the soccer clubs had a bigger and better idea — they wanted to see one of the adjacent gravel practice fields also converted into a synthetic turf field, and said they would help pay for it. The second field would be 80 per cent of the size of the main field and would allow soccer players to use the surface all year long. The soccer associations pledged just over $200,000 — half of the cost of the additional field’s construction — to the project, with $135,000 to be contributed in the first year and the rest to be paid off over five years. Inclusion of a second field was kept in mind and worked in as the project was designed and tendered. SEE: Page 3

Abbotsford Police are trying to determine whether there are any connections between a shooting that occurred early Tuesday morning and one that took place in 2011 in the same area. Both incidents happened in the 2500 block of Bradner Road. In the latest one, Abbotsford Police received a call at about 2:30 a.m. from a resident who reported hearing several gunshots and the sound of one or two vehicles leaving the area. Const. Ian MacDonald said police arrived on the scene to find that a 24-year-old man had suffered a gunshot wound to his arm. MacDonald said the victim had been in a Ford SUV with an unknown number of other people when the vehicle was shot at several times. He said it does not appear that the group had been at a home in the area, but had met up with other people on or near the roadway. “What our focus will be is where was the rest of the group and what was the purpose of the gathering at 2:30 in the morning on a rural street.” The victim was taken to hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. MacDonald said the man has “very limited previous interaction with police,” and the backgrounds of other people at the scene are still being looked into. Police cordoned off the road to traffic from just south of Fraser Highway to Simpson Road for several hours while they investigated the incident. MacDonald said police are considering any possible connections between this shooting and one that occurred in January 2011. At that time, eight to 12 shots were fired as a 25-year-old woman driving a pickup pulled into a driveway. One shot blew out the back window of the truck, narrowly missing the woman’s head, while another went through the living room window of the house. Police said two male residents of the home — ages 21 and 27 at the time — were well-known to police. The name of one of those men came up in court proceedings earlier this year for Jarrod Bacon, who was convicted of conspiracy to traffic cocaine and handed a 12-year prison term. The Crown alleged during the trial that the man, a longtime friend of Bacon’s, was whom Bacon was referring to, on wiretap evidence, when he said he had a funder who could supply up to $3 million to purchase cocaine from Mexico.

Community rallies behind turf field funding FROM FRONT: According to Township Parks Design and Development Manager Al Neufeld, those processes were completed quickly, which was good news for those financing the project. “It was perfect timing,” Neufeld said, as favourable market conditions meant the Township was able to secure contractors for the work at a great rate in early 2012. “We got really good pricing because we went to tender in early January. And since the second field was included throughout the tendering process we knew what we were getting into and how much money the soccer groups would have to raise.” The Aldergrove community also raised money for the complex and the Township received two grants totalling $58,000 from Tire Stewardship B.C. Jason Barnes, vice president of Aldergrove Soccer, and Bill Ede, president of Youth Soccer, presented the Township with cash installments on that day. Aldergrove Credit Union representatives Brian Thomasson and Angie McDougall also presented $5,000. Aldergrove referee and instructor Art Bandenieks brought along ten young refereeing graduates for the opening ceremony and the honour of being the first to play on the new fields. Artificial turf is infilled with sand and tiny pellets made from recycled

a Synthetic Turf Asset Replacement Fund. Artificial fields have a ten-year life span so the surplus has been put aside to replace other turf fields, starting with the field at McLeod Athletic Park in 2013. Students at Aldergrove Community Secondary School and Betty Gilbert Elementary will also benefit from the two all-season fields.

Part of the land used for the new soccer complex belongs to the Langley School District, and nearby students will be given priority use during school hours. BENEFITS OF SYNTHETIC TURF FIELDS: · More durable than natural turf · Polypropylene fiber can withstand more wear and tear

· Provide up to six times the amount of play · Better withstand the elements · Made of recycled materials · Are lit, allowing for night-time events and continued play through the entire year · Lead to less injuries than gravel fields · Do not need watering or trimming

Police seek information about deceased man By NATASHA JONES Black Press

A man known as the “Big Bear” whose remains were found in Aldergrove last year, has been identified. He is Barry Steven MaslankaEwing. He would have been 58 this year. Langley RCMP spokesman Cpl. Holly Marks said that even though there is no evidence of foul play in Maslanka-Ewing’s death, police want to know where he was living between 2002 and 2005. They would like to hear from anyone who knew him during those years. The cause of death could not be determined, Marks said. “I think it’s important to have some idea where he lived, partly for closure for the family and to ensure that there wasn’t anything untoward in his death,” Marks said. Maslanka-Ewing and his family had not kept in touch for many years, she added. Maslanka-Ewing’s remains were discovered by contractors working for B.C. Hydro, pruning

trees on Department of Defence property in the 26200 block of Robertson Crescent on Nov. 29, 2011. The contractors first stumbled upon a skull, and a search by RCMP officers uncovered other bones and personal effects. An investigation showed that the remains had been at the Robertson Crescent location for several years, Marks said. The investigation has also determined that Maslanka-Ewing lived the last part of his life with family friends in the Aldergrove area, Marks said. After approximately six weeks, he left and may have become homeless, she said. The area of the DoD property was once used as married quarters, and although most buildings were dismantled years ago, homeless people were known to set up shelters there in derelict buildings. Marks said that MaslankaEwing had never been on the RCMP’s radar, and police have no idea what he was doing the day he

Anyone with information that might help police with the final pieces of the mystery is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604 5323200.

Gallery artists banking on interest By BRENDA ANDERSON Black Press

Tucked away in what was once most likely a bank manager’s office, Langley artist Sheila Patzke is quietly dabbing paint on a colorful, if somewhat abstract, landscape. She’s working with Yupo — a synthetic, water-proof paper — and it’s a technique that has taken a bit of getting used to, the artist admits as she applies water colour to the non-absorbant surface with a fine brush. At the same time, the ability to push the paint around on top of the paper creates some rather interesting effects, she notes. As one of about 20 artists in residence at the temporary gallery, which has been set up inside the the former Coast Capital Savings building on the Fraser Highway one-way, Patzke is taking advantage of a bit of quiet time between visitors to focus on her work. But the building is open to the public and visitors are not only welcome, but encouraged to wander in and look over the dozens of paintings hung on every available bit of wall space, examine handmade jewelry or just stop and chat with the artists while they create. The former bank building is being leased by the Langley Arts Council until Sept. 28. They, in turn, are renting out individual spaces to the artists. There are so many corners to peek into and pieces to examine that a person can’t hope to see everything in one visit, but something that would be difficult — neigh, impossible — to miss are the half dozen life-sized fibreglass horses standing around the lobby. Part of the Horsing Around Langley project, some of the pure white moulds will be moved to the studios of the artists who will design and paint the animals following themes of their choosing. Others will likely be painted on site. Standing apart from the larger horses is one foal. Already, LAC president

Robin Bandenieks works on a portrait of Nobel Prize winner Alva Myrdal — part of a series — inside the Artist in Residence Gallery at the former Coast Capital Savings building on Fraser Highway. It will remain open until Sept. 28. Rosemary Wallace and fellow artist Lalita Hamill have set to work on a design which strives to encompass all of the arts. Included in the design, is a series of piano keys which will run along the foal’s arched neck. Its hooves will be adorned with ballet slippers, the women reveal. Once they’ve finished the piece, representing as many of the arts council’s member groups as possible, the women are planning to mount the colt on a small pull cart and take it to events as a means of advertising. Normally, the LAC is based out of Michaud House on 204 Street — and it still is, said Wallace — but since the Artist in Residence Gallery opened in early August it has temporarily shifted its centre of operations. It is open during the day, Monday to Friday, but Wallace is considering opening it on a Saturday to gauge response from people who aren’t able to come in during the work week. And it will definitely be open during the Langley Good Times Cruise In car show on Saturday, Sept. 8, she said. For the artists, it’s a chance to

share ideas and draw inspiration from one another. “The artists love being with other artists,” said Wallace. “Everybody feeds off everybody. There are no egos in this building.” By late afternoon, clay artist Gail Simpson has tidied up her workspace for the day, but in the next cubicle over, painter Robin Bandenieks, continues to work on a portrait of Alva Myrdal — one of only 15 women who have been awarded a Nobel prize since the first ones were handed out in 1905. The artist is depicting each of them in a collection of small oil paintings. Bandenieks and Simpson say they are enjoying the opportunity to be around other artists. Response has been good, they say, but the women agree that in this case, at least, more is better. Like Hamill and Wallace, they’d be thrilled to see more visitors coming through. “There’s also room for a few more artists,” said Wallace, adding the gallery offers the perfect opportunity to introduce the LAC to potential members. “We’ll make room.”

Langley Arts Council encouraging horseplay By BRENDA ANDERSON Black Press

On Thursday, Aug. 16, the Langley Arts Council held its grand opening and reception for the sponsors who purchased a life-sized horse sculpture as part of the “Horsing Around Langley” project. “The public art project is designed to foster community collaboration, bringing together the agricultural, art and cultural communities, as well as the corporate community and the public at large in a year-long venture that we anticipate will be exciting in each phase of the program,” said LAC president Rosemary Wallace. The grand opening provided an

opportunity to show off the brand new spaces available to local artist to create and display their artwork. Among those artists participating are Robin Bandenieks, Judy Vanderveen and Patricia Burnette. There are a few horses left in need of sponsorship. “We are looking for more sponsors but we also want to share this gallery with the community. Come in and have a look at the work of our artist in residence,” said Wallace. The Artist in Residence Gallery is located in the old Coast Capital building at 20550 Fraser Hwy. It is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. until Sept. 28.

VICTORIA – I was as surprised as anyone to hear about the plan by this newspaper’s owner, David Black, to begin regulatory work on an oil refinery for Kitimat. I’ll leave it to others to comment on the practicality of that plan, and whether it would make the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project more acceptable to B.C.’s government and population. Black Press news coverage, columns, letters to the editor and other reader comments are not affected by this project, and there has been a range of views expressed already. Whatever the merits of the refinery idea, it has advanced the debate over pipelines and the place of oil in our society. And that’s a good thing, because as someone with a basic knowledge of chemistry and some experience in oil refining, I have noticed a lot of ignorance about the subject. Today I’d like to address some of the main misconceptions, which have been exploited by some opponents. The first one is oil pollution in general and how it gets into the environment. A global study by the Smithsonian Institution in 1995 calculated the amount of oil making its way into oceans this way: Big tanker spills accounted for 37 million gallons a year, about five per cent of the total marine oil pollution identified.

Separating oil from manure

By far the largest source was oil runoff from land into drains, from oil changes, municipal and industrial wastes and other sources: 363 million gallons. Bilge cleaning and other routine ship maintenance added 137 million gallons, four times the tanker spill average. Air pollution from vehicles and industry deposited hydrocarbon particles equal to another 97 million gallons; natural seeps added 62 million gallons; offshore drilling discharges accounted for 15 million gallons. So that’s the first thing to understand. It’s not tankers and pipelines doing most of the polluting. It’s you and me. Then there is the propaganda about greenhouse gas emissions from the oil sands crude. Actor Robert Redford is one of the highest-profile pitchmen for the false notion that “tar sands” oil generates three times the greenhouse gases as conventional oil. The facts are clear. The most widely cited source is a graph prepared by Cambridge Energy Research Associates, which shows that 75 per cent of greenhouse gases from all types of crude occur when the gasoline, jet fuel and diesel are burned by the end user. Yes, there are variations in emissions on the remaining quarter. Emissions from mined oil sands crude are slightly higher than steam extraction, which is slightly

higher than conventionally drilled and pumped crude. The most greenhouse gasintensive crude used in North America is California heavy crude, which is conventionally drilled. Burning coal produces far more greenhouse gases than oil, as University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver has calculated. Two U.S. environmental groups, including the one fronted by Redford, have lately been promoting a study that suggests oil sands crude is more corrosive to pipelines. False, says the industry, showing analysis of pipes that have carried diluted bitumen for decades. The Trans-Mountain pipeline has been carrying crude from Alberta to Burnaby and Washington state for more than 60 years. It has periodically carried heavy crude for 40 years, and diluted bitumen for 25 years. Some of that crude is refined in Washington and the gasoline and diesel barged up to supply B.C. gas stations. And of course Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii and all other B.C. islands depend on marine fuel shipments. And let’s not forget the most common heavy oil used in B.C. It’s called asphalt. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

What do the loss of Delta farmland, the paving over of ancient aboriginal sites on the Fraser River and Enbridge’s planned Northern Gateway oil pipeline to Kitimat all have in common? All three are sacrifices B.C. is being asked to make so the rest of Canada can use B.C. ports to exploit rising trade with Asia. Agricultural land is being carved off in blocks big and small to convert into port-related development or highway improvements. The South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR) last year rolled over some of the province’s oldest First Nations archaeological sites near the Alex Fraser Bridge. That may have gone relatively unnoticed but most Lower Mainland motorists know their commutes are increasingly slowed by trucks clogging the roads and longer trains holding up traffic – more symptoms of the pressure to make Metro Vancouver Canada’s west coast super port. Now, after a rising tide of public opposition to the Northern Gateway pipeline, Premier Christy Clark has vowed to block it without world-leading environmental protection and a big share of benefits for B.C. She has her eye on the $81-billion tax bonanza governments stand to reap from the pipeline. Should Ottawa attempt to force it through, the province threatens to bog Enbridge down in permit approvals and even deny the project electricity from BC Hydro. Standing up to Alberta and Ottawa might make good politics in the dying year of a possibly doomed government. But such posturing likely rings hollow for local environmental groups like the Burns Bog Conservation Society that have spent years fighting the SFPR over the threat it poses to the bog and wildlife habitat along the Fraser. The perimeter road is all about quickly shunting trucks between Deltaport and Highway 1, which is also expanding to 10 lanes through much of Metro Vancouver. For years, the B.C. government has been an ardent partner of Ottawa in its Asia-Pacific Gateway strategy, expediting the port and road expansion. Victoria never lifted a finger to stop the resulting industrialization of farmland, and in fact pulled land out of the Agricultural Land Reserve to enable the port expansion envisioned in the Tsawwassen Treaty. Where, Metro Vancouver mayors might also ask, was Clark’s boldness to shake down Ottawa when they wanted to slap a tax on each container that moves through the port? Since container trucks beat up our roads and bridges, they suggested, why not charge a container toll that would go to TransLink and act as one new funding source that doesn’t come from the pockets of the region’s embattled taxpayers and motorists. But the container tax was shot down almost instantly by the BC Liberals. In fairness, this region has been on the receiving end of plenty of cash from Ottawa. The feds have pumped in hundreds of millions of dollars – not just for obvious port-related projects like the SFPR and Roberts Bank Rail Corridor overpasses, but also big contributions to the construction of the Pitt River Bridge, the Canada Line and now the Evergreen Line to extend SkyTrain to Coquitlam. Port expansion also promises thousands of additional jobs in the Lower Mainland, which can’t pin its economic future on retail service wages alone. That doesn’t take away from the fact there are downsides to being Canada’s West Coast industrial park. Whether it’s the new Enbridge pipeline, the expanded Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal or simply more expansion of port terminals, all of this boils down to the same thing: an expectation B.C. suck it up and accept inconvenience, risk and environmental or other losses to benefit the rest of Canada. If we are being asked, over and over, to take one for Team Canada, maybe it is time to consider seeking a new deal. -Black Press

signed to Scotland to take a signal course. It was expected he would re-join the Royal Norwegian Navy as a communications operator. He then spent about two months unsuccessfully shuffling back and forth between London, Devonport and Liverpool in search of a Norwegian ship in need of a signalman. “I said to an officer, ‘If you guys don’t send me aboard a boat now, you’ll have to send me back to Scotland (for training). I’m forgetting all the things you taught,’” he says. His superiors obliged and Jacobsen was assigned to a Bangor-class minesweeper. Stationed just outside Edinburgh, he served on a ship with a double set of officers – one Norwegian for every Brit – and a crew made up of 90 per cent his own countrymen. Despite literally navigating through minefields each day, Jacobsen says he didn’t think he faced any real danger. Some of this composure may be attributed to advice from the captain of his old Norwegian mine-laying vessel. “’He said, “You shouldn’t be (nervous), because in this trade you only do one mistake,’” Jacobson recalls with a laugh. But he remembers one precarious incident on the minesweeper when they raised the ship’s paravane – a device used to cut a mine’s mooring cables – only to find a live explosive hanging from it. The second-in-command carefully used a knife and bolt cutters to free the mine from the paravane. Right before the mine plunged back into the sea, the ship’s cap-

tain told the crew to bend their knees in case of an explosion. Jacobsen later told the commanding officer he didn’t think it mattered whether they stood with straight or bent legs. “(The captain) said, ‘I know that, but I had to say something.’” Jacobsen served two years on the minesweeper before making his way home to Norway in December 1945 a few months after the war ended. Back home he resumed work as a welder before getting married and immigrating to Canada in 1959 along with his wife and two daughters. Not long after his arrival in Vancouver, he walked into a downtown travel bureau to find a Norwegian newspaper. In it contained a list of Norwegian ships out to sea, one of which was docked just north of Main Street. He made his way onto the boat to find its captain reading a paper. “’Paul, is that you?’” Jacobsen remembers hearing. The captain had lifted his eyes above the broadsheet – it was the skipper from the Norwegian patrol boat. After nearly two decades and a permanent move to another hemisphere, Jacobsen still found himself on a ship with his captain. And even as the years since the war have gone by, his experiences have not been forgotten. Just last November Jacobsen travelled back to his motherland where King Harald V of Norway presented him with a certificate honouring his service in the navy. He pauses a bit when trying to summarize his experiences. “It has been a strange life,” he says simply.

Langley Township’s economic indicators are out for July and things aren’t looking pretty. The number of building permits issued by the Township is down 12.5 per cent for January to June 2012, compared to the same time last year. For industrial buildings, it’s down 46.6 per cent from last year. Housing starts aren’t any better, except for in the townhouse market where there has been a 48 per cent

increase. It all seems to all be happening in the Willoughby area. This year, 51 per cent fewer apartments were built compared to last year, and 23 per cent fewer single family homes. Real estate sales in Langley are steady, however. More single family homes and apartments were sold this year than last. With townhouses, 1.7 per cent fewer were sold this year, compared to last. Prices remain steady, despite a cooling market across Metro Vancouver.

On another note, residents actually make less now than in years earlier. According to the Township, the average Langley Township resident made $42,482 in 2009 based on income tax returns. That same resident made $43,019 in 2008. The average B.C. resident made 2.4 per cent less in 2009 than they did in 2008. Unemployment rates remain high at 6.5 per cent in Vancouver in June 2012. It peaked at 7.3 per cent last June.

Women in shelters focus so much on their safety and that of their children, that they don’t have the time to pamper themselves with a bit of femininity. They may very well believe they don’t deserve it. For many, second hand is as good as it gets. Determined to change that image, Feminine Form, a lingerie store in Brookswood, has organized a fundraiser which puts a personal touch on giving. Feminine Form is asking its customers to donate $10 or more so that the store can donate its end-ofseason stock of lingerie, sleepwear and loungewear to women at the Ishtar transition houses in Langley and Aldergrove. This means all every Ishtar residents “will be given the pieces they need,” said store manager Felicity Holmes. Feminine Form is at #195, 4061 — 200 St. Charmaine Rouleau, who manages the store with Holmes, came up with the idea only quite recently. “My grandmother died three months ago and Ishtar was always her favourite charity,” she said. “So I thought that with this store I have the opportunity to do some fundraising for them.” The event started at the beginning of August and continues until

This September, if someone you care about is living with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, show your support by taking part in a “Coffee Break” event in your community. Coffee Break is the largest annual nationwide fundraising campaign of the Alzheimer Society that raises money for local programs and services. Kicking off in B.C. on Sept. 21, this do-it-yourself fundraiser is fun and easy. It can be as simple as hosting a coffee party at home, in the office or at a public venue. Prospective Coffee Break Hosts will receive a host kit to help with their event. The target goal for this year’s fundraising campaign is $1.5 million dollars across the country. “Increased funding for services is essential to meet the needs of the growing numbers of Canadians living with dementia,” said Jean Blake, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. “Having access to services can make all the difference in the way families live with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.” Dementia affects over 500,000 Canadians today and will rise to 1.1 million by 2038. After 65, the risk for dementia doubles every five years, and according to Statistics Canada, as much as 38.5 per cent of B.C.’s population will be 65 and older by 2031.

For the Abbotsford BMX Club, it’s hard to fathom how massive the next month will be. Last weekend, the track at Exhibition Park played host to the Canadian BMX Championships, an event would mark the peak of the local season any other year. But it’s the UCI World Cup supercross two weeks later (Sept. 14-15) which represents the true highlight. That event is expected to feature male and female riders from more than 30 countries – many of whom will have competed at the London Summer Olympics.

“It’s kind of amazing to think that a national championship is almost anticlimactic,” Abbotsford BMX president Steve Baxter marveled with a chuckle. “We’re a little overwhelmed, I think, but we have a lot of good help and support. The city has been fantastic, the parks department has been amazing, and the support from Cycling BC is really driving things ahead and put us where we are as far as the facility goes.” For this weekend’s national championship, the field will feature roughly 250 athletes from across Canada. Registration and practice are

on Thursday, and the competition runs Friday through Sunday. For detailed schedule information, visit cyclingbc.net “Because it’s shouldering off of the World Cup, it’s going to be a great event,” Baxter noted. “We’ve already got trailers on-site for the World Cup, and we’ll have that available to make the Canadian championships that much better. “We already had the biggest practice of our season (on Monday). There was one kid from California practicing for the World Cup, and there were athletes from Quebec and Alberta here already for nationals.”

Hockey marathon hits Centre Ice By DAN KINVIG Black Press

Forty years after he scored the most famous goal in Canadian hockey history, Paul Henderson’s name still resonates. Consider that the No. 19 jersey he was wearing when he scored the game-winner in the 1972 Summit Series against the Soviet Union sold for $1.275 million at auction – the most expensive hockey jersey ever, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Henderson lends his name to an Abbotsford-based fundraiser known as the Hockey Marathon of Hope, and the seventh edition of the event runs on Sept. 8. While organizers Dave Currie and Geoff Lee aren’t under any illusions that they’ll generate the kind of funds Henderson’s jersey auction did, they believe the sport of hockey

offers a unique opportunity. “It feels like a natural fundraiser for Canadians,” Currie said. “You think about playing 10 hours straight, and it’s pretty fun for hockey nuts. And we’re excited about helping a lot of people in the process.” Henderson has attended three of the previous Hockey Marathons of Hope in person, though he won’t be able to do so this year due to his ongoing battle with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. “His cancer limits his schedule,” Currie noted. “He’s pretty positive about how he faces it. Every day is a day of grace, he says. “We’ll likely do an interview over the phone which we’ll record, and he’ll give a word to the guys via audio. He’s sent us books of his life story and DVDs of the ’72 series to give to the guys.” The event takes over the Centre

Ice twin rinks facility, and players are divided into four teams for the marathon. “Throughout the whole day, you’re treated like a professional athlete,” Lee said. “For guys who haven’t played much high-level hockey, it’s a fun atmosphere.” Each participant commits to raising at least $1,000, which goes to Doing Family Right, a Christian ministry to strengthen families, and the Imani Orphan Care Foundation, which runs two facilities in Kenya housing over 250 children. “I like to call it a balanced portfolio,” Currie said.“We’re helping at home, and we’re also helping overseas.” There is still room for more players.To register, contact Lee (778-5523489 or geoff@imaniorphancare. com) or Currie (604-309-6426 or drdave@doingfamilyright.com).

Please do your part to prevent human/wildlife conflict and keep bears from having to be destroyed. If you encounter a bear, do not run. Act big and loud, and back away slowly to a safe place.

Cougars: can have kittens throughout the year and family groups can be seen at any time. Cougars survive on natural food sources found in the wild, primarily deer. Cougar attacks on humans are highly unlikely. However, if you encounter a cougar, do not run. Pick children up immediately and talk to the cougar in a confident voice. Act big by waving sticks and branches, and back away slowly while still facing the cougar. If it attacks, fight back.

Coyotes: have the largest population of potentially dangerous wildlife in the area and can be seen year round, even in residential areas. Family groups have been regularly seen around Langley. Coyotes are bold and easily lose their natural fear of people. Never feed

Protect your investment by keeping fences secure and free of damage that predators can use for access. Coyotes burrow, so ensure surrounding netting goes deep into the ground. Use electric fencing to deter bears from blueberries and beehives, and pick berries and fruit as they ripen. Be vigilant with livestock and keep them secure. Farm animals are usually killed at night, so bring them inside in the evening. It is an offence to attract wildlife into a residential neighbourhood. Those who do not take steps to deter bears and other wild creatures can face a fine of up to $575.

to fatten up for hibernation. Bears have a keen sense of smell and garbage and other food sources could easily attract a bear to your neighbourhood. Once they get a taste of human food, bears may not want to go back to natural food sources and could lose their fear of people. A bear’s movement is mostly dictated by food availability, so if it is not available, the bear will move on.

ON ROADS Reduce the smell of food by keeping barbecues clean. Keep pet food inside. Garbage is the biggest attraction for bears so keep it secure and inaccessible to wildlife. Do not leave garbage cans out overnight: keep them in the house, a locked garage, or secured outbuilding that cannot be broken into by large, smart bears. Put them out only on the morning of collection. If you are worried about odour, keep garbage in the freezer until collection day. Do not use bird feeders, as they attract bears and the birds do not need seeds when other natural food sources are available.
