Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times

Members of the White Spot Pipe Band lead a procession from the Fort Langley Community Hall to the Fort Langley National Historic Site in celebration of Douglas Day. The annual festival commemorates the proclomation of British Columbia as a crown colony on Nov. 19, 1858 in Fort Langley’s Big House, and B.C.’s first Governor, Caribbean-born James Douglas. The Fort Langley Legacy Foundation, Parks Canada and the Guyanese Cultural Association of BC gathered at the Fort to celebrate Douglas’ Guyanese roots with Caribbean cultural dancing, food and steel drum music.

A funeral service will be held today at LEC for Const. Adrian Oliver, a Surrey Mountie who died in a crash Nov. 13.

While much of the talk centres on how much the new rapid transit bus service will benefit commuters heading west, City of Langley Mayor Peter Fassbender predicts it will also be a boon for Langley. “It isn’t just about people leaving our region and going into Vancouver,” he said. “It is bringing a lot of people here too, so it works both ways.” “We are going to create job opportunities south of the Fraser.” Fassbender, who is also vice-chair of the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation, was on hand to celebrate the complePeter tion of the new CarFassbender volth Transit Exchange and Park and Ride on 86 Avenue in Langley, just off of 200 Street. He was joined by Langley MP Mark Warawa, MLA Mary Polak — the minister of transportation and infrastructure — Township Mayor Jack Froese and Surrey MLA Dave Hayer. The new exchange, which opens on Dec. 1, will have more than 670 parking stalls. The stalls will be free until the end of March. A new TransLink policy sets the minimum price for the parking at $2 per day. TransLink’s ExpressBus service, route 555, will begin when the new Port Mann Bridge opens on Dec. 1. The new Highway 1 Rapid Bus will provide service between the Carvolth Transit Exchange and the Braid Skytrain Station, in about 20 minutes.

United Steel Workers Union members protest outside MLA Rich Coleman’s office about Chinese mine workers being brought to B.C. to take jobs that could be had here. The union said the protest at Coleman’s office is the start of many.

Steelworkers gather in Langley to protest China mine workers Decision to bring in foreign workers flies in face of ‘Jobs for B.C.’ plan, they say Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

The United Steelworkers kicked off a series of protests at MLA Rich Coleman’s office at Langley Events Centre on Friday afternoon. It didn’t appear the minister of energy was at his constituency office, while about a dozen union members held signs outside his office. The union members were there to oppose the use of temporary foreign workers coming from China to work in B.C. mines. “The government and Christy Clark say we don’t have trained mine workers here in B.C. and that’s why we need to bring in workers from China. “A lot of these jobs will be labour jobs, not technical. You are telling me that we don’t have those kind of workers in Canada?” asked USW president Manjit Sidhu. He questions why Canadians weren’t

Feeling the Christmas spirit early, Brett Hill and his family decided to put up their Christmas decorations and lights up on Sunday. They even watched Deck the Halls before going to bed. “We put them up early because we just felt like it this year,” said Hill. But come Monday morning, the Brookswood family wasn’t feeling the Christmas spirit. Overnight, some Grinches made off with their eight-foot air blown snowman, 42- inch deer and 42- inch Santa Claus. They took all the ropes, tent pegs and extension cords, too. “They hadn’t even been up a day,” said Hill on Monday morning. The Hills live on a cul-de-sac in the 21100 block of 43A Avenue. He wants to let other Christmas-spirited Langley residents, especially Brookswood neighbours, to think twice about putting out decorations early. He told police he did see two suspicious characters earlier that day when he was putting his items out. The family won’t let the Grinches steal Christmas however, Hill said.

Barn fire burns licensed grow-op A barn fire Saturday took place at a facility with a licence to produce medicinal marijuana. Langley Township fire department was on the scene for three to four hours after getting the call at 3:14 p.m., said assistant chief Pat Walker. Three fire halls responded. Damage to the barn, located in the 2500 block of 208 Street, was extensive, but the building can be repaired, Walker said. The fire is believed to have started in an electrical panel and spread to the second floor. Langley RCMP and the B.C. Ambulance Service were also on hand, but there were no injuries.

Bomb threat at Langley RCMP detachment all too real Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

It turns out a bomb scare at the Langley RCMP detachment on Monday, Nov. 12 was an actual bomb, police are now confirming. “The suspicious package was a pipe bomb,” said Langley RCMP spokesperson Const.

Craig van Herk. A pipe bomb was discovered inside an SUV police had towed to the detachment in the early morning hours on Monday. A 29-year-old Abbotsford man was arrested in connection with the vehicle and the pipe bomb. Police are recommending

charges of possession without lawful excuse pertaining to explosives. The man is also facing a charge of being in possession of a small amount of drugs, said Van Herk. On Monday, police said they were called about suspicious activity. Officers went to see and ended up towing a vehicle

back to the station for further investigation. But when they looked inside the vehicle, they saw a suspicious package. To be safe, police cordoned off the detachment and surrounding streets and called in the Explosive Device Unit. Township fire department and B.C. Ambulance also stood by. “No police functions were

impacted that day,” said Van Herk. Police will only say that the pipe bomb was “rendered safe” by the EDU. It isn’t known whether the EDU exploded the bomb. Police aren’t saying what the suspicious activity was or where it took place, because that is still part of their active investigation, said Van Herk.

Langley MLA and Minister of Transportation, Mary Polak and Langley MP Mark Warawa step off a bus at Carvolth Transit Exchange. The new park and ride station at 86 Avenue and 202 Street opens on Dec. 1 and will allow commuters to take TransLink’s new Rapid Bus which will have them at the Braid SkyTrain Station in New Westminster in 20 minutes.

New rapid bus service offers 20-minute service to SkyTrain from PAGE 1

Buses will run every 10 minutes during peak commuting periods and every 30 minutes in off peak hours until 11 p.m. Fassbender anticipates 3,000 to 4,000 riders a day will use the new service, which equates to about a million people per year. “This is something we are happy to have in the Township of Langley and is long awaited,” Froese said. Those sentiments were echoed by Warawa, who said this was the first reliable transit option for commuters in the past 25 years. “It will make a big difference for those who live in Langley,” Warawa said, adding it will help meet a growing demand for better transportation options in the region.

“This is something we are happy to have in the Township of Langley and is long-awaited.” Jack Froese

Township mayor

Through the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund, the federal government contributed more than $15.1 million toward the project. The provincial government provided $49.7 million and TransLink contributed $2.75 million. Fees for new developments in the area will provide $2.9 million towards the $70.5 million project.

“As a result of these partnerships, we are here today,” Polak said. In addition to the parking capacity and the transit exchange, the project includes HOV/transit-only on and offramps to and from Highway 1 at 202 Street, improved connections and access to the transit exchange, and environmental enhancements. The ExpressBus service’s future has recently been in question. “The question was was there going to be funding to have buses run and that is what TransLink had to look at,” Fassbender said. “They were able to find the funding in the operating budget to make it work.”

Guinea relief trip now set for March Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

H.D. Stafford teacher Djiba Camara has had to put off his trip back to his home country of Guinea in November after he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raise enough funds to get the container shipped there. Around $50 was raised but $5,000 is needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too bad, but my new goal is to go in March, But I will at least ship some things there in February,â&#x20AC;? said Camara. Materials, school supplies and sports equipment has been flowing in to fill the container but it costs money to have it shipped to one of the poorest and corrupt countries in the world. He had organized it so that he was going to be metÂ by local police to help ensure his safety as he tries to get the supplies from the container to students who desperately need them. The popular Langley teacher and international soccer coach is still hoping Langley residents will help himÂ get these materials to students so they can have some of the chances that so many have here in Langley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have nothing,â&#x20AC;? said Camara, who returned to his home country of Guinea (sometimes known as GuineaConakry) in West Africa for the first time in 30 years last year.

He is speaking to Walnut Grove Secondary students about his cause in January and plans to also speak at Brookswood Secondary. A video that Camara made of his visit to the local schools can be found on YouTube. It shows boys playing soccer in a dust bowl they call a playground with a ball they made from rags found at the local dump. Camara, who once coached the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Whitecaps team and is a certified FIFA coach, has soccer to thank for helping him escape poverty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I played professional soccer in Europe and became a Hungarian citizen,â&#x20AC;? he said.

and school supplies could give these children the help they need to change their situation. Because so many are desperate, they have turned to crime and violence, making it a very dangerous country to go to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;NGOs canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work in Guinea because it is so dangerous,â&#x20AC;? he said. The container will be full of pens, binders, books, shoes, T-shirts, shorts, paper, chalk and more. While he was there he made a movie which he has posted on YouTube, showing the plight of these young people.

It will take no fewer than 18 turkeys (at 15 pounds apiece), 80 pounds of potatoes, 50 pounds of peas and 40 pounds of carrots to feed the up to 200 guests expected to attend the annual Community Christmas Dinner at St. Joseph’s parish hall next month. “And, of course, we’ll do the stuffing, too,” promised Catherine Ducharme, who has been helping to put together the free holiday meal for the past 17 years and now serves as co-ordinator. Ducharme has been volunteering at the event almost from the beginning. This December will mark the 20th year that the turkey dinner (with all the trimmings) has been served inside the hall at 20676 Fraser Hwy. on Christmas Day. And, of course, there is the all-important question — what’s for dessert? “In years past, there has been so much baking It has almost gone to waste,” said Ducharme. So this year, they decided to try something different. “It will be Christmas cake

with ice cream. “I don’t know if it will be too cold for ice cream,” she added with a laugh. Each guest will be given a gift basket with about 10 baked treats to take home, as well. For many, though, the annual dinner is as much about the social interaction as it is about the meal itself. Roughly one third of the people who come are seniors, another third are homeless people who likely wouldn’t otherwise get a nice Christmas dinner, and the final third are people who, for whatever reason, find themselves alone during the holidays and prefer to share a meal. “Lot’s of times, people do meet new friends,” said Ducharme. “You sit at a table with strangers and — with our games and activities — you get to know them. It’s a bonding experience.” For Ducharme and her fellow volunteers, the dinner offers a chance to give back to the community. “My children are grown and gone; it’s just my husband and myself,” she said. “It’s a place

for us to go and it’s part of our faith.” When Ducharme started helping out in the mid 1990s, around 200 meals were being served each year. Since then, the number has dropped off slightly, she said. Last Christmas, 160 people came for dinner. This year, she expects the numbers could range anywhere from 150 to 200. Many people will be lined up before the doors to the hall open at 4 p.m., she said. Dinner is served at 5 p.m. and the event usually goes until about 9 p.m. Ducharme said that as far as food and volunteer labour are concerned, they’re all set. But, as always, the challenge is finding volunteer drivers. “It’s hard to get people to pick up and drop off on Christmas Day.” Last year, about 15 people — mostly seniors — called to request a ride, she said. Anyone who is able to help out is asked to call the St. Joseph’s church office at 604534-3303. This is also the number to call if you would like to attend the dinner, but need a ride to and from the church hall.

City seeks input on master plan City of Langley residents are invited to weigh in on the future of the municipality’s public spaces and facilities. The City is updating its parks, recreation and culture master plan after having completed many of the recommendations from the 2005 plan. The study team will analyze and make recommendations on all aspects of parks, recreation and culture in the municipality. This includes parkland, trails, sports fields, community and recreation centres, pools, public fitness centres, recreation and sports programs, cultural programs and events, and many more activities and amenities. All City residents are encouraged to provide input so the plan will reflect community interests and preferences. There will be multiple opportunities for participation. The first is a statistically valid survey that is being sent to 2,000 randomly selected house-

holds. Households that receive a letter in the mail inviting participation are encouraged to respond. They will have the option of completing the survey on the Internet, through the mail, or on the telephone. Other opportunities for participation will take place in January, 2013. There will be workshops for the public and for specific interest groups. If you would like to participate in a community or focus group workshop, call the Recreation, Culture and Community Services department at 604-5142865 or masterplan@langleycity.ca. Consultants working on the contract include Catherine Berris Associates Inc., Points of View Research and Consulting Ltd., Gary Young and Associates, Cornerstone Planning Group and Lizette Parsons Bell & Associates. Information gathered during the study, which will be completed by the summer of 2013, will be made available at city.langley.bc.ca.

A new banner program in the Township could feature a poster with a French slogan. Township council recently referred a poster from French Immersion student Lauren Kim to the Youth Advisory Committee which may consider it for a possible banner program in the municipality. Lauren is a Grade 5 student at James Kennedy Elementary. In September, Grade 5/6 French Immersion teacher Marlee St. Pierre gave her class an assignment to design a French slogan and logo for Langley. “We discussed all the reasons why Langley

is a good community to live in,” St. Pierre wrote in a letter to council. “The students came up with many factors, from friendly people to great shopping to freedom, but the most often stated reason was because of the healthy environment and green spaces.” Lauren’s winning slogan and poster were chosen in a class vote.

Toll bridge upheavals

Treat vets with honour

he new Port Mann Bridge will be tolled, starting Saturday, Dec. 8. This should serve as a great incentive for those who have yet to register with TrEO, the arm of the provincial government overseeing the tolling program. Those who register by Nov. 30 will receive 20 free trips over the tolled bridge, and will pay halfprice tolls for the first year. This is a good reason to register, as it will take some of the sting out of the tolls. It is also fair, as the entire highway improvement project will not be complete when the tolls go into effect. One other benefit of registering with TrEO is that there will no longer be a need for those who are registered to have transponders to cross Golden Ears Bridge at the lowest rate. The two tolling systems will be integrated. It is also a very shrewd marketing strategy — something that was completely lacking when TransLink opened the Golden Ears Bridge, which remains mostly empty because of a lack of any incentive to use it. While some experts have predicted that it will become busier when tolls begin on the Port Mann, that seems far-fetched. Why would any driver wish to pay more to cross that particular bridge, in a direction that isn’t the most optimal for the overall trip? There are relatively few work destinations near the bridge on that side of the river for Langley and Surrey residents. While more people from Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows commute to this side of the river to work, the numbers aren’t vast. The tolls on both bridges remain very unfair to residents who must regularly cross the river. There are no tolls on any other portion of the new highway, which is being almost completely rebuilt. There are no tolls on bridges or river crossings anywhere else in the Lower Mainland, or on the Sea-To-Sky highway. Nor are there reasonable free alternatives to the two bridges. The Pattullo simply can’t handle much more traffic at peak times, and the Alex Fraser Bridge is also very crowded. Getting to it is a challenge during busy times. Highway 99 may be an alternative for a few South Langley and South Surrey residents, but only if their final destination is somewhere close to the west side of Vancouver. The net result of bridge tolls may well be that people move closer to their jobs and avoid optional trips across the Fraser. This could provide a welcome boost for local businesses.

n Nov. 11, many people and politicians gathered around cenotaphs and in city squares for solemn ceremonies paying tribute to Canada’s service men and women. But for some veterans — and for Jim Scott, advocate and chair of White Rock-based Equitas Disabled Soldiers Funding Society — some of the words uttered rang hollow. In 2006, Parliament passed the New Veterans Charter that changed the way injured soldiers are compensated. Instead of a lifetime pension, indexed to inflation, most veterans injured after that year, or who had their injury diagnosed since then, would get a lump sump settlement. Veterans Affairs champions the new system as “a more complete approach to helping our men and women injured in the line of duty,” offering them “real hope.” But injured veterans say otherwise. They say Canadian soldiers injured in Afghanistan, and those suffering the lingering mental and emotional effects of their tour, are getting substantially less support than they would have received with the former indexed pension. Equitas has filed a class-action lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court to improve compensation for disabled servicemen and women. Scott knows all about the situation for disabled veterans — his own son Dan, 26, was caught in a land mine explosion while serving in Afghanistan, and received a lump sum payment of just over $41,000 for injuries that included loss of his spleen, a kidney and a collapsed left lung. Support for the organization’s position can be found all across Canada. A Queen’s University study last year concluded most disabled soldiers will receive only two-thirds the compensation under the new charter than they would have from the old act. It’s one thing for Canada’s politicians to honour our veterans. It’s another to treat them with honour. — Peace Arch News (Black Press) The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

‘O Canada’ singing a memorable moment at Remembrance Day Editor: What a memorable Remembrance day. Members of the Sim family were at the Langley City cenotaph on Nov. 11, for a dedication playing of the bagpipes by my brother Jeff. We always have a ceremony with the family laying a wreath and my mom in attendance. Jeff always does an amazing job piping a couple of tunes in memory of our father John ( Jack) King Sim RO, 180 Squadron, RCAF, Wireless air gunner. Dad helped free Holland from the Germans in the Second World War, flying many sorties in a B-25 Mitchell over Holland. We were all gathered at the site when this adorable little girl asked us if we would sing “O Canada” with her. We agree that we would and away she sang.

Closing her eyes and holding her hand to her heart, she led us. At the same time she was doing the motions, as if she was signing as well. It was amazing how confident and passionate she was, as she had to have only been about six to seven years old. After she had finished, her father gave her a big hug and told her, eyes swelled in tears, how proud he was of her. It was a priceless moment on a day that means so much to everyone. This will always be in our hearts. This ceremony was the best celebration of our Dad, with the talents of both the little girl and Jeffrey, our favourite piper. Lest we forget. Wesley Sim, Langley

No animals in zoos Editor: Re: Wendy Minar’s letter (The Times, Nov. 13), headlined “Zoo employees care deeply for animals.” The writer only states her sympathy for zoo employees and says that, being an animal lover, she feels their pain. She alos comments on what a joy family outings to the zoo were. There was no mention of the pain and suffering of animals, pacing back and forth in a confined and unnatural environment. Animals should not be kept in zoos, period. Donna Kozak, Langley Wesley SIM/Special to The Times

Laura Sim joins a little girl who asked the Sim family to sing O Canada along with her. It was a memorable Remembrance Day moment.

Labour candidate’s approach questioned Editor: In your Nov. 1 story (“Langley woman seeks top labour job,”) the candidate for president of the B.C. Federation of Labour, Michelle Laurie, did not present any compelling reasons for her decision to run in the upcoming B.C. Federation of Labour election. Instead, she talks vaguely about a need for change, but some teachers have real concerns about her vision for change in the labour movement. Is Laurie suggesting that the federation’s decade-long fight to increase the minimum wage was the wrong thing to do? Is she advocating that the labour movement in B.C. not speak out with a strong voice when the provincial government cuts programs, closes schools, privatizes public assets or ignores the growing wait lists in

health care? Is she promoting a new plan that would see the B.C. Federation of Labour be less outspoken on the critical union issues in our province? For the last decade, it has been the hard work of the BC Fed, led by Jim Sinclair — the person that Laurie wants to replace — that has been holding the BC Liberals accountable for their regressive approach to governing. For Laurie to suggest that all that hard work was the wrong priority for the BC Fed is a source of great concern for many within the labour body. From my perspective, the labour movement is not about a narrow set of interests. It’s about improving conditions at every workplace, unionized or not. It’s also about

making our communities more equitable and more sustainable. It’s a view that Sinclair has worked hard to advance. Laurie, on the other hand, seems content to advance a less dynamic and socially just vision. The B.C. Federation of Labour is not a federation, as is suggested, that exists simply to protest. It is a federation that represents workers across B.C., workers that Jim Sinclair and Irene Lanzinger have supported during a time when conservative government policies across Canada have sought to curtail the role of unions. As a union member, I believe the federation’s vision should remain broad, inclusive and supportive of all workers in B. Richard Beaudry, Langley

Secondary suites have ruined our neighbourhood Editor: Thank you to Natasha Jones for writing the article (The Times, Nov. 1) about secondary suites and imposing fees on the landlords. We live in Yorkson village (208 Street and 84 Avenue), and I can tell you that secondary suites have ruined this neighbourhood. There is constant fighting over parking and yet none of the suites are legally registered with the Township, burdening our streets, schools and utilities. The mayor and council should, at the bare minimum, impose strict fines and bylaws forcing landlords to get their The

tenants to park on their own driveways instead of creating this constant chaos among neighbours and burdening residents who do not have secondary suites. If you drive through Yorkson, the majority of the homes here have secondary suites. It is clearly visible with the volume of vehicles saturating our roads, including daily parking infractions. Many of us have had to get the police involved, (yet another burden to taxpayers) regarding parking fights, and this matter continues to get worse.

The street directly in front of Lynn Fripps Elementary is another hazard, with bumper to bumper cars from tenant parking directly surrounding the crosswalk. I use this crosswalk daily and basically there is no visibility until you’re in middle of the street. I’d be happy to provide the mayor andcouncil with the names and addresses of all the homes with secondary suites that I am aware of, in hopes to recover our neighbourhood, improve safety and get landlords to pay hefty fees. Name withheld by request

Planning neeDeD Editor: Of course gas and energy costs are going to go up. Those who control those costs have already made the decision that the cost of gas and energy will go up. They are preconditioning us to accept the fact that it is inevitable so we won’t be surprised when it happens. Go figure. If they truly believe that the demand is going to be higher, then plan in advance to make sure that there is enough to meet that demand. What happened to planning? Debbie Atkinson, Langley

DisgusteD Editor: I was disgusted that the two minutes of silence at the Langley City Remembrance Day service took place at 10:45 a.m., instead of 11 a.m. I lived through the Second World War, and we were always taught that the time to be silent was the 11th day of the 11th month, at the 11th hour. It was not as Legion Branch 21 did it, at 10:45 a.m. This is the second year they have done the same thing. Perhaps someone should give them new watches and clocks, and maybe next year they can get it right. Ann Stammers, Langley

No simple answer to salmon farm issue B

efore the 1,200-page, $25 million Cohen Commission report on the Fraser River sockeye salmon fishery slips beneath the waves, allow me to dip my toe into the river of data that has flowed by in the past three years. If your information on this hugely complex subject consisted of skimming a few news stories or watching protesters on TV, you will likely conclude what urban people have been indoctrinated with for years. The whole issue is salmon farms and whether they are bad or catastrophic. “Freeze new salmon farms on sockeye migration route: Cohen” said the headline on a Black Press report. Those who read past the headline would learn that Justice Bruce Cohen recommended a freeze on further salmon farms around the Discovery Islands group near Campbell River until 2020. It’s up to the industry to show by that time that the risk is “minimal,” or farms there should be shut down. A B.C. Salmon Farming Association spokesman said only nine of 70 B.C. salmon farms are in that area. There are no current applications for more. Let’s say you decide to plunge in, and download the full report from www.cohencommission.ca.

The province signed an agreement Friday with a Tofino-area aboriginal community that both parties described as a key step towards a treaty settlement.

treaty settlements was pioneered in 2008, the Tla-o-quiaht built their first run-of-river power project, a 5.5 megawatt facility that began selling power to the BC Hydro in 2010. “It has given us the confidence to move forward to the next project,” Martin said.

Kurt Alberts receives diamond jubilee medal

Monday’s Douglas Day event, held to thank Langley’s pioneers for all they have done for the community, was also the setting for former Langley Township mayor Kurt Alberts to receive a special honour. More than 200 Langley Township and City pioneers and dozens of guests attended the Douglas Day celebration at the Langley Events Centre on Monday afternoon. They enjoyed lunch, entertainment, and a unique presentation. A Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal was awarded to Alberts at the event. He was the longtime Township planner, and served as mayor from 1999 to 2008. As mayor, he served as the emcee at many Douglas Day events. He also has a keen interest in Township’s history. The medal was created to mark the 60th annversary of Her Majesty’s accession to the throne, and is being presented to those who have demonstrated dedicated service to their peers, community, and to Canada. As a member of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Township was given a medal to present to a com-

munity builder. Township council chose Alberts as the recipient. “Whether guiding the evolution of our community as the Township’s director of community development or demonstrating Kurt Alberts leadership and vision as our mayor, Kurt Alberts has helped create an exceptional quality of life for residents by advocating for improvements throughout the community,” said Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese, who presented the medal to Alberts. After graduating from the University of Waterloo, Alberts started his career as a planner in Ontario before coming to B.C. In 1981, he and his wife Brenda moved to Fort Langley, where they operate the Birthplace of BC art gallery. Alberts served as Langley Township’s director of community development from

1981 to 1997, then took on a role as an elected official when he became mayor from 1999 to 2008. During that time, he was instrumental in developing the community of Walnut Grove and the Township’s Rural Plan and worked to get the Greater Vancouver Regional District to recognize Langley as a Regional Town Centre in the Livable Region Strategy adopted in 1996. With a passion for preserving green space, Alberts took on initiatives such as the Township’s Arbour Ribbon, the Fortto-Fort Trail, and the expansion of Derby Reach. He helped develop the Hope Redwoods natural area and worked to secure significant areas of wildlife habitat in the West Creek Wetlands. Alberts contributed to the Adopt-aStreet Program, helped create additional playing fields in Aldergrove, and worked to develop partnerships for the Langley Events Centre. He was also committed to the dredging of the Bedford Channel and waterfront development in Fort Langley, and to the creation of Langley’s Gateway of Hope. Alberts has been recognized for his dedication to heritage conservation and

for his volunteer service as a Rotarian. During the Douglas Day celebration, Langley residents who are at least 70 years of age and have lived in the Township or the City for more than 60 years also enjoyed musical entertainment by Mixed Company, shared stories and memories, and socialized. The event is held each year to pay tribute to pioneering families whose hard work, values, and traditions helped shape our community. It commemorates the founding of the Crown Colony of British Columbia in Fort Langley on November 19, 1858, and recognizes the appointment of Sir James Douglas as the first Governor of B.C. Douglas Day has been recognized in the Township of Langley since the 1920s and the banquet has been held annually for more than 60 years. In 1946, the celebration of Douglas Day was established by municipal bylaw. While many municipalities in the Lower Mainland celebrated Douglas Day in the past, Langley is one of the few to continue the tradition. A list of pioneers recognized during the 2012 Douglas Day celebration is on page 13.

Marvyn and Eileen Shore - a Langley Love Story

ny, the Vaudevillians did a one hour show that included performances by the groom as well.

ometimes when you aren’t looking for love, love finds you. Such was the case with Marvyn and Eileen Shore a local Langley couple.

In fairy tales, this would be the spot where the phrase ‘and they lived happily ever after’ would be. They are indeed happy but with all changes in life there is a transition involved. Marvyn admits that for him it was somewhat easier because he had been married before and he wanted to be married again. For Eileen it was somewhat harder. After they married she moved in with Marvyn but after living in a co-op house with a garden she confesses that apartment life is somewhat foreign to her and she does miss her cat. Her twelve year old pet just couldn’t make the transition and developed health issues and had to be put down. Eileen does admit that she still has a bit of trepidation but it’s coming along quite nicely.

Marvyn and Eileen Shore are part of a group called the Vaudevillians. The Vaudevillians are a theatrical troupe that have been performing in the Lower Mainland for many years. You must be 55+ to join. The performances are reminiscent of an old time music hall with various comedic skits and songs. The troupe perform at various functions over 30 times a year. It was Marvyn and Eileen’s involvement in this group that ultimately brought them together. Marvyn Shore is a retired lawyer. He’s an active volunteer at the Langley Seniors Centre and he performs regularly with the Vaudevillians. His specialty is a Burns and Allen routine. He was married for over 50 years and lost his wife to the complications of dementia eight years ago. They were very happily married and he visited her in the care home frequently. In order to have a fairly normal life he designed their apartment so she could be at home more often. But she succumbed to the complications of her disease in 2004. Eileen Kelly describes herself as a Catholic girl from Dublin, Ireland. She has pretty auburn hair and sparkling green eyes. There’s a lilt in her voice and a smile often graces her face. Never married, she came to Canada in 1980 with her dad. She was engaged once in 1986 but broke the engagement. She explains that she was waiting for the right man to come along and in 2008 he did. “I met all the wrong men,” she said “until I met Marvyn”. Who could have known that in her mid 70’s she would meet a man who is the

love of her life. They explained to me that it wasn’t love at first sight for them. Nothing like that at all, they said. After Eileen joined the Vaudevillians they performed with the group but it wasn’t until the spring of 2008 when they went on an Alaskan cruise with eight other people that they got to know each other. Perhaps it was a spark from the Northern Lights but from then on the friendship they shared had turned to something deeper.

you need, as long as it is under 2 1/ minutes!” She considered his very unexpected proposal and thirty seconds later she agreed to marry him. Their friends cried joyful tears for the happy couple

They agreed to marry right away and had a big wedding at St. Bernadette’s Catholic church in Surrey. The priest was well acquainted with Eileen and Marvyn and he cheekily instructed Marvyn that he would marry them but their first three children must be brought up in the CathIn the fall of that same year, they went olic Faith. Marvyn retorted that should on a trip to visit mutual friends in the the children be boys and the priest was Okanagan and on Thanksgiving Day willing to perform the circumcisions he Marvyn surprised Eileen with a marriage would agree to the terms. On December proposal. He said to her, “take all the time 19th, in addition to the marriage ceremo-

There were cultural differences to overcome as well. Marvyn and Eileen are of different faiths. Marvyn is Jewish and Eileen is Catholic. This could cause some discord but because of their deep and mutual respect for each other it isn’t an issue. There were some compromises to make and they have made them. Marvyn for example, when the time comes will join Eileen at Valleyview cemetery rather than be in the Shore family plot. Despite her many years in Canada, Eileen maintains a charming lilt in her voice which you can tell delights Marvyn. It may not have been love at first sight for this couple but you can tell they were made for each other. “Eileen is my love and my life” said Marvyn and Eileen smiled. You could tell she was thinking the very same thing. The story of Marvyn and Eileen Shore is a tale of true love and happiness. It is a true Langley love story.

to strengthen communities by connecting people with the help they need by providing quality information and referrals. The 211 service was started in the United States by the United Way in Atlanta in 1997. Since then, 211 services have launched in 47 states, with more than 80 per cent of Americans now living in areas served by 211. In Canada, 211 was launched in Toronto in 2002 and is now available in 11 municipalities- Toronto, Niagara Region, Simcoe County, Halton, Windsor-Essex, Thunder Bay, Peel, Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary and Quebec City. About 28 per cent of the population (more than nine million Canadians) lives in areas now served by 211. A 211 initiative began in British Columbia several years ago. Significant research and planning looked at the possibilities of providing 211 across the province. In funding a Lower Mainland 211 service, the United Way has taken the essential first steps toward realizing a fully provincial service. While there are excellent community programs available, many citizens have difficulty finding the services they need. Service providers also face challenges trying to locate appropriate community services for their clients. continued on next page

The Tricky World of Travel Health Insurance

Barb Pelley

If you’re over 60, you will probably have to fill out a medical questionnaire when applying for travel health insurance. If you are unsure about how to answer a question, consult your doctor and ask to see your medical records. This will help you to understand the conditions you have so you can answer the questions accurately.

There are certain questions on the questionnaire that ask how many medications you are taking, which can cause some confusion. Your pharmacist can provide you with a list of all the medications currently in your name. For example, if you have a standing prescription at the pharmacist for a medication, the insurance company could understand that to mean that you are taking it even though you’re not currently filing that prescription.

If there is a question about high blood pressure on the questionnaire, and you are taking medication for it as a preventative measure, the insurance company could take the position that you’ve been diagnosed with that condition and are being treated for it.

Don’t simply answer the questionnaire based on what you think is relevant. Even the smallest treatment or diagnosis, when not answered correctly, can make your insurance null and void. It’s better to over-report than under-report because you may have to pay a higher premium but then you can be assured that you have the coverage in the case of an emergency.

Make sure you understand the definitions of all the terms on the questionnaire. For example, according to some insurance companies, being tested for a condition means you’ve been treated for it.

Read your travel insurance policy carefully to understand all the terms and conditions. Pay particular attention to the ‘Limitations and Exclusions’ section to understand what’s covered and what’s not. For example, some policies will not cover you if your medical emergency is related to excessive alcohol and/or extreme sports.

If you experience a medical emergency while on your trip, contact your insurance provider right away. If you fail to get prior approval for any tests or procedures, your claim may not be fully covered.

If there is anything in your policy you don’t understand, call your insurer and ask for clarification.

If your claim is denied, appeal to the insurance company. If that doesn’t work, consider contacting the Ombud Service for Life and Health Insurance (OLHI). According to its website, OLHI is “…an independent service to help consumers with complaints that they are not able to resolve by dealing directly with their insurance company.”

Tax Strategies for Seniors ADVERTORIAL

Aside from market volatility, one of the biggest obstacles to investment growth is tax. Your investments are important, so it’s essential to find a vehicle that allows them to grow without being eroded by taxes. This is easy to achieve when you’re investing in a tax-advantaged plan such as an RRSP or TFSA. But what about those nonregistered dollars that are unable to benefit from the attractive tax advantages of their registered counterparts? We use a solution called Corporate Class.

tax on any capital gains realized as a result of the switch. Under a Corporate Class structure these transactions are tax-deferred as long as you switch between Corporate Class Funds.

There are 2 major advantages for your nonregistered money:

As an example assume you invested $100,000 in 2011 to supplement your retirement income in 20 years time. Over this period, the risk level of the investment has been adjusted to be more conservative as you move closer to retirement. With an average annual return of 7%, the corporate class portfolio accumulated approximately 28% more than the traditional mutual fund trust portfolio. That’s almost $90,000 more towards your retirement or other financial goals.

Mutual fund investments can be structured in one of two ways: a mutual fund trust or a mutual fund corporation. Corporate Class is the name given to mutual fund investments that reside in a mutual fund corporation. Under this structure, each mutual fund class is a part – or a share – of the overall corporation.

Tax deferred rebalancing:

Over time, we may recommend that you switch between mutual fund investments for a variety of reasons. For example, as markets shift, the asset allocation in your portfolio may change – and as a result, you may want to rebalance your portfolio to ensure that you remain on track to meet your long-term goals. Under the structure of a traditional mutual fund trust, when you rebalance between funds your investments are exposed to

Tax advantaged income:

Mutual funds generate and distribute income to investors depending on their underlying investments, and all of this income is subject to tax. Depending on the type of income you receive, tax can take a big bite out of the total dollar amount – leaving you with less in your pocket after taxes are paid. Corporate Class Funds are structured so that while they may occasionally pass on income to investors, it will only be in the form of an ordinary Canadian dividend or as a capital gain; two of the more tax-advantaged forms of income.

Picture This!

SAMC zooms in on family quirks and ordinary heroes

ine strangers, desperately trying to get home for Christmas, are trapped with nothing to do but exchange bizarre family stories and make up songs about them. It’s a brand new play called Picture This!, opening at Trinity Western University’s School of the Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC) today (Nov. 20). The show brings together twists of fate, original music, embarrassing childhood stories, beloved family traditions, and tales of ordinary heroes.

Promising fun, whether you love or hate the holidays, the script was written by an ensemble of theatre students under the leadership of director Angela Konrad. “We all wonder what other people’s families are like, especially around the holidays,” Konrad said. “This show gives us an opportunity to be a fly on the wall in others’ homes, and also to see the power that telling our stories can have in the lives of others, often in ways we don’t expect.” The show features two the-

atre students who are not only Langley natives but daughters of TWU professors. Jane Townsend’s father, Calvin, teaches political and religious studies, and Margaret Thorpe’s father, Allan, is chair of the music department. Telling tales of home can be tricky, especially when your parents — and those who know them — will see the show. Yet both Jane and Margaret wrote stories about father-daughter relationships. “My dad knows about my story and is really encouraging,

even though my scene is about how different he is as professor and as my dad,” Townsend said. “My dad understands me and he understands the creative process, so he’s really looking forward to seeing how it all comes together,” said Thorpe. Through vivid flashbacks and original music, Picture This! explores funny adventures and touching moments that come out of the performers’ own experiences. Parent/child dynamics, sibling rivalry, lessons from family history, embarrassing encounters — maybe this is

why our parents told us not to talk to strangers. “The students have cooked up a show for all generations; one that promises to surprise, inspire, and entertain,” said Konrad. So is it fact or fiction? “This show may contain true stories or absurd fabrications. Or both,” she said. Picture his! runs from Nov. 20 to Dec. 1 at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday, with 2 p.m. Saturday matinees. For tickets and information, visit www.twu.ca/ theatre or email theatre@twu.ca.

Phantom of the Panto will lurk at Surrey Arts Centre until Dec. 9 Never mind the opera. This year, it’s the Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s annual Christmas pantomime that has a phantom lurking in the wings. FVGSS presents Phantom of the Panto at the Surrey Arts Centre in Bear Creek Park. The holiday pantomime in Surrey is a tradition that now spans a quarter of a century, and for many theatre goers, it signals the beginning of the Christmas season. This year’s production continues the society’s tradition of delivering loads of family-friendly fun. Inspired by Phantom of the Opera, it pays tribute to the well-known classic but with a fun, panto-infused twist. An original script by FVGSS’s own Clive Ramroop, this hilarious take on the classic Phantom of the Opera story will take audiences behind the scenes at the Paris Opera House. Meet the new owners as they try to make a success out of a tired troupe, featuring a temperamental diva, her obsequious husband, a fickle audience and a company of smart alecks. It’s a tough job, even without adding the mysterious ghost whose demands and manipulations threaten everything the company has striven for as well as a young, beautiful ingenue upon whom they have pinned their hopes for the future. Beautiful sets and awesome costumes will paint a kaleidoscope of colour. Joining the cast once again is Lang-

Lightning fall in final Langley Christian second, Langley Fundamental third at senior boys’ AA Fraser Valley championships Gary ahuja Times Sports

Gary AHUJA/Langley Times

Langley Christian Lightning’s Mark Antoniuk sets the ball during his team’s gold medal game versus the MEI Eagles at the AA Fraser Valley championships last week at the Langley Events Centre. The Eagles won in four sets.

The Langley Christian Lightning can only hope for one more crack at the MEI Eagles, preferably in the provincial championship game. The two Fraser Valley rivals have played a backand-forth season series all year long and the most recent chapter in the rivalry went in favour of the Abbotsford school as MEI won 3-1 last week (Nov. 14). The two senior boys’ volleyball teams were playing for the gold medal in the AA Fraser Valley championship game at the Langley Events Centre. And after each team won a set — 25-21 MEI and 25-20 for Langley Christian — the Eagles took sets three and four 25-12 and 25-18. The Lightning had been the top seed for the Valley championships after taking first place in the division thanks to the teams’ most recent meeting, a 3-0 Langley Christian victory to wrap up the regular season. “It has been a good battle all season,” said Langley Christian coach Jesse Zuidhof. “We just didn’t put

together our best performance (in the Valley final). We had a mediocre performance, one that will motivate us to puck up that level going into provincials.” The Lightning, as well as the third-place Langley Fundamental Titans, will both join MEI at the AA provincial volleyball championships at Kelowna’s UBC Okanagan campus. The championships run Nov. 28 to Dec. 1. “That was a wake-up call for us that we have to raise our level to the potential we have,” Zuidhof said. The Lightning have been ranked in the top three provincially all season, along with MEI and Prince George’s Duchess Park. Zuidhof likes his team’s chances, if they play up to their capabilities. He described the team as prideful of their defence and ball control. “We are very well balanced and deep,” he said of his roster, which features six Grade 11s and six Grade 12s. “We have a lot of weapons; we don’t need to rely on one guy. Everyone on the court has the potential to finish points for us.”

Jeremy Hansma, Eli Tolkamp and Mike Gyrpma earned all-stars at the Fraser Valley tournament. ••••• A third-place finish at the Fraser Valley championships has advanced the Langley Fundamental Titans to provincials. The Titans defeated the Pacific Academy Breakers in the bronze-medal game at the senior boys’ AA Fraser Valley championships last week (Nov. 14) at the Langley Events Centre. “The bronze medal was not a disappointment,” said Titans coach Matt Lewis. “All this means is that my team will be the underdogs going forward into provincials.” Langley Fundamental had lost to MEI — who captured the gold against Langley Christian — in the semifinals. All three teams were ranked in the top five provincially as of last week, with Langley Christian first, MEI third and the Titans ffith. “I think the biggest difference was in the bronze medal game, we all knew we had to win to keep playing, so we had to dig deep to pull off the win,” Lewis said. The provincial tournament runs Nov. 29 to Dec. 1 at the UBC Okanagan campus in Kelowna. Lewis said the season has continued, PAGE 27

Kodiaks cruise to another Fraser Valley title Credo Christian senior boys win eighth straight Valley banner Winning the Fraser Valley championships was not a major surprise for the Credo Christian Kodiaks. After all, the senior boys’ volleyball team cruised through the regular season with a perfect 10-0 mark. And the Kodiaks capped it off with a Fraser Valley banner last week (Nov. 14) as they defeated the Agassiz Eagles in the Single A title game at the Langley Events Centre. This marked the eighth straight year

they have captured the Fraser Valley banner. Now comes the real test for the team: the provincial championships, which run Nov. 28 to Dec. 1 at the UBC Okanagan campus in Kelowna. The Kodiaks will be contending for their third straight provincial banner. Credo enters the tournament as the second seed, behind the Kelowna Christian The two teams did meet earlier this season with Kelowna Christian defeating Credo Christian in the bronze medal match at the Christian High School championships. The two teams have have been

ranked one-two in the Single A polls all season long, with Kelowna Christian beginning the year first, losing top spot for two weeks to Credo, and then regaining their number one perch for the past four weeks. Josh Vandelft and Zach Vanderploeg both earned all-star awards at the Fraser Valleys, while Ben Togeretz was named most valuable player. Togeretz also won the most valuable player award last December when Credo Christian captured the provincial title. ••••• The Credo Christian Kodiaks defeated Campbell River and Pemberton

yesterday (Monday) to secure a wildcard berth for the upcoming Single A senior girls’ volleyball championships. The Kodiaks finished third at the Fraser Valley championships last week, defeating Unity Christian in the bronze medal game. And as the Valley’s third seed, they faced a wildcard round against the second-place finisher in the Lower Mainland and the third-place team from Vancouver Island (Campbell River). Those three squads will battle for one of the three available wildcard berths for the B.C. championships. Langley Christian (see page 26), the team which beat Credo Christian in the Fraser Valley semifinals, has already qualified for provincials, which will be held at Selkirk College in Castlegar. Rebecca Vane, the Kodiaks’ setter, was named a Fraser Valley all-star.

While some teams may be disappointed with a second-place finish, that is not the case with the Langley Fundamental Titans. “At the beginning of the year, I never would have dreamed we would be playing in the Fraser Valley final,” said Titans coach Laura O’Reilly. “So we are not disappointed at all.” The Titans were up 2-1 but dropped the final two sets to the Surrey Christian Falcons in the gold medal game for the senior girls AA Fraser Valley championships. It was played Nov. 14 at the Langley Events Centre. The Falcons won the first set 25-23 but the Titans responded to win sets two and three 25-19 and 25-23. Surrey Christian stayed alive with a 25-20 win in the fourth set and then blew away the Titans 15-6 in the deciding set. “This was really an off day for us,” O’Reilly

For most of the season, the Langley Christian Lightning have been able to match the White Rock Christian Academy Warriors point-forpoint but — besides for a season-opening victory — that has not translated into victories. So when the Lightning won the opening set 31-29 at the Single A Fraser Valley senior girls’ volleyball match at the Langley Events Centre on Nov. 14 — the team stumbled in the following set, allowing the Warriors to win easily 25-10. “We hadn’t beat them in a long time, so I think it was a little bit of a shock,” said Langley Christian coach Marie Grim. “And then it took us a game to get going. “It was just a little blip to try and remember how to beat them again.” The Lightning were close in sets three and four, but ultimately lost 27-25 and 26-24 to fall in the match 3-1. “We always know it is going to be point

The result was not a major surprise to the coach. “I thought we would finish one or two,” she said. “I knew we had to play really great technical volleyball to beat them I was really happy we had

a good couple of games out there but a couple of times we fell through.” In the most recent Single A rankings, the Warriors were fifth and Langley Christian sixth. Both have qualified for the upcoming provincial championships,

which will be held Nov. 29 to Dec. 1 at Selkirk College in Castlegar. “We have had to work hard to get there (provincials),” Grim said. The coach said she was especially happy for the team after what happened last year. “We were told we were going and then 24 hours later, we were told there was an error,” Grim said. “So this is very exciting for these kids to be going.” Grim said the team has done a great job of working together. “In the last month, we are starting to see the capabilities of this team,” she said, “We haven’t peaked yet; we are rising and that is kind of exciting.” Langley Christian’s Sarah Kunst and Megan Hummelman both earned all-star awards. ••••• The Langley Christian junior boys’ team qualified for the provincial championships over the weekend thanks to a fourth-place finish at the Fraser Valley tournament. Tobias Meier earned an all-star award for Langley Christian. The Lightning compete at the B.C. championships Nov. 22-24 at Abbotsford’s MEI Secondary.

for the most part gone well, save for a few bumps along the way. “My team is a very emotional team,” he said. “They play very well when being pushed by a good opponent, but seems to play down to a lesser teams’ skill set.” The key for the team moving forward is all in their heads. “We have tons of talent on the team, we just need to stay focused,” Lewis explained. “Also, not get frustrated with the simple things: they can’t keep worrying about the missed points, they just need to focus on the points and games to come.” Michael Hsu was named an all-star. ••••• Langley Fundamental’s junior girls team has qualified for the provincial championships this weekend.

season while the Titans were third at 12-4. But in the Fraser Valley semifinals, Langley Fundamental knocked off Pacific Academy, who were also the top-ranked AA team in the province. Surrey Christian was third and the Titans fourth.

The fact the team is moving on to the B.C. championships (Nov. 29 to Dec. 1 at Invermere’s David Thompson Secondary) is quite the feat considering the Titans have a smaller roster than most of their opponents. “We have eight (players) on a good day,” O’Reilly said. “We played with five players for one league game.”
