Two Big ThumBs up! Leyo Voneuw could barely contain his excitement on Tuesday morning as he toured the Langley City Fire Hall. The Grade 4 Uplands Elementary student was the lucky winner of the City of Langley’s firefighter for a day contest, held as part of fire prevention week. Leyo received a personal ride to and from school in Engine 1, accompanied fire crews in the truck on real code calls, had specialty training from staff and ate lunch with the firefighters and City Mayor Peter Fassbender.

Township mayor and council endorse formula for pay hike Calculation is based on average of judge, MLA and principal salaries Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

Langley Township council has approved a new formula that will calculate pay raises based on the salaries of senior police, provincial judges, federal and provincial politicians and Langley school principals, an approach that would raise

their pay 3.3 per cent and pay them a travel allowance for the first time. However, it has yet to decide when the new system will take effect. Council voted to implement the revised formula during the Monday afternoon meeting. It is based on a report by a five-member council remuneration task force set up to conduct an independent review, in the wake of the controversy over the last pay hike in December. That increase, which took place when the new council took office, boosted Mayor Jack Froese’s annual salary by 12.6 per cent and councillor pay rates by 19

percent. Froese called on council to adopt the recommendations from task force members Deanna Horn, Darcy Rezac, Barbara Sharp, Andrea Soberg and Bob Wilson. “This is not an easy task,” Froese said. “Nobody likes to vote on their own pay increase.” The new formula was adopted over the objection of Councillor Kim Richter, who called the suggested increase “outrageous” at a time when most taxpayers aren’t getting pay raises. “This just adds insult to their injury,” Richter said. “(A council hike of) 3.3 per cent on top

of a 19 per cent increase is just not going to be palatable to taxpayers,” Richter said. Richter said if the new $850 a month travel allowance for the mayor and the new $340 a month travel allowance for councillors is included in the calculations, the compensation increase is considerably bigger than 3.3 per cent. She said it works out to a 14.4 per cent pay hike for the mayor, while councillors get a 12.4 per cent boost. Councillors Charlie Fox and Bob Long joined Richter in voting against the proposal. continued, PAGE 4

Apartment complex gets third reading Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

There were a few muttered complaints and at least one audible obscenity from the audience Monday night when the Township of Langley approved the first phase of a housing development that will build seven apartments at the bottom of the Willoughby slope. “What a f*** joke,” someone grumbled, moments after the council vote on the Forewest Construction development plan for the 10-acre site north of 68 Avenue, between 200 and 201 Streets. There were a few groans from the audience during the debate leading up to the decision that saw the project pass with Councillors Kim Richter and David Davis opposed (Councillor Michelle Sparrow was not present for the vote). The vote gave third reading to the necessary changes to the property zoning to permit construction. The next and last step in the process, a vote on final approval, is expected before the end of the year. The property has been been a source of controversy for several years, ever since the developer first proposed what it has described as an alternative to the horizontal suburban growth currently seen in some parts of Willoughby. In October, 2010, council defeated a Forewest proposal to construct 607 apartments in eight buildings and 14 townhouses following a public hearing that heard residents complain the development was too dense, would put pressure on local schools and congest local streets.

The same arguments were revived when the developer sought approval for the revised project that includes seven apartment buildings with 475 units, 26 townhouses, four duplexes and two single family homes. A petition against the new project design generated 252 signatures. In response, Forewest filed a traffic study that estimated the new development will add no more than one to two vehicles a minute on 201 Street during peak hours of 7-9 a.m. and 3-6 p.m. during the week, and 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturdays. Additional traffic calming on 201 Street between 68 and 69 Avenues would also help to slow down traffic. The school district estimates the development will bring in no more than 82 children — 43 in elementary school and 39 in high Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times school.

Family concerned about missing Langley man Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

Dan Rikkinen

Family and friends of Langley’s Dan Rikkinen are worried sick, since the 59-year-old disappeared after visiting his wife at Langley Memorial on Thursday, Nov. 22. “He’s never gone missing. He’s always been a

steady and solid guy,” said his niece, Denise Powell, on Wednesday. “It’s completely out of character for him.” Rikkinen’s wife is in poor health and had been admitted to hospital on Nov. 18. He had visited her daily. But after his disappearance on Nov. 22, a large withdrawal was made from his bank account the

following day. But that actually isn’t too out of character, said Powell. Rikkinen usually dealt in cash. Rikkinen drives a maroon-coloured GMC Cheyenne pickup truck with a canopy, licence plate EH2194. If you know of his whereabouts, contact Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Long wanted more time to consider the recommendations while Fox wanted implementation of the new formula postponed until after the next municipal election, something the task force opposed. “If you delay three years, it’s going to be a big increase,” Rezac told council, urging them to implement the pay hikes this January. “Our view is very strongly that you implement this immediately.” As the evening council meeting was wrapping up, Fox tried once again to get council to delay implementing the pay raises until after the next election. Instead, council decided to do what Long wanted, and defer the whole matter until the next meeting on Dec. 3, when the absent Councillor Michelle Sparrow would be present to vote. Councillor Grant Ward served notice that he is against a delay that would mean a bigger catch-up pay hike postelection. “There’s going to be a lot of howls (if we do that),” Ward predicted.

Man eaten by bear was already dead: coroner

Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

A B.C. coroner’s report indicates that a convicted killer whose body was partially eaten by a bear outside of Kamloops last May had committed suicide by overdosing on cocaine. The coroner’s report says 53-year-old Rory Nelson Wagner

died of a drug overdose via an injection of cocaine. Wagner’s body was found partially eaten and buried by a black bear in a remote area of Kamloops. Wagner was out on day parole when he disappeared. The report lists Chilliwack as Wagner’s place of residence. Investigators believe Wagner sat dead in his 1986 Volkswagen Jetta,

parked on the rural roadside for days before the bear found him. The bear pulled his body from the vehicle through an open window and buried it under a pile of dirt and undergrowth, said investigators. Hunters found the body and alerted conservation officers. Conservation officers tracked down the bear a short time after Wagner’s body was found and it

was put down. Wagner pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder of Langley man Andy Kohlman in 1994. Wagner, along with his brother, who has also since died, and another man, Gerald Beaugrand, served time in jail for killing Kohlman, who was accused of sexually assaulting two young relatives of the Wagner brothers.

On Oct. 21, 1993, Rory Wagner and two accomplices kidnapped Andy Kohlman and took him to a remote wooded area somewhere in the Fraser Valley. They beat him to death and left the body. It was never found. Shortly before Kohlman disappeared, he was acquitted on sexual assault charges involving two of Wagner’s nieces.

Study on 16 Ave. gets tentative nod Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

Langley Township council gave tentative approval to a $250,000 study of traffic on busy 16 Avenue Monday afternoon, adding it to a list of possible projects to be funded by the 2013 budget. A report by Township transportation engineering manager Paul Cordeiro called for a comprehensive study involving Abbotsford, Surrey, and other stakeholders including the RCMP, ICBC, Canadian Border Councillor Services Agency Bob Long and the provincial government to set out short, medium and long-term options. The Cordeiro report said with further modifications, the two-lane route will be able to handle projected increases in traffic for the next 15 to 20 years but eventually it will have to be widened to four lanes, something that will cost around $200 million for the Langley section of the route alone. Councillor David Davis said the study should also examine Zero

Avenue as an alternative east/west link. “Rural south Langley will change (if 16 Avenue is widened),” Davis said. “It’s going to be a freeway.” Councillor Grant Ward said the study will hurry up work on widening the road, a notion Councillor Bob Long questioned. “I’ve never seen a study hurry anything up,” Long said. Long was the only member present at the Monday meeting to vote against the study (Councillor Michelle Sparrow was absent). The Cordeiro report said 16 Avenue currently meets safety standards and “it is difficult to determine what improvements could be implemented that would influence driver behavior and reduce the number of collisions.” The Township has spent $2.8 million on 16 Avenue improvements since 2000, mostly on adding left-turn bays and traffic signals. More work is planned. Surrey and the provincial Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure recently approved preliminary design work on an interchange at the 16 Avenue-Highway 99 overpass that would allow border traffic to head east toward a Surrey industrial park and the Abbotsford International Airport.

Enrolment holds steady

Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

Student enrolment in Langley has stayed the same, at around 18,696 pupils, since 2008. The number of students in Langley is up slightly, by 199, this year over last, but that is mostly coming from children wanting to attend choice schools and from the housing boom in Willoughby, said secretary-treasurer David Green. While the district did see an increase in enrolment this year, Green said his predicted head count before the numbers were official was off by around 280 students. The biggest variance was in the primary level at community schools, which saw a shortfall of 155 students, which translates to just over a $1 million provincial funding loss. Staff were aware of this vari-

ance in September and managed to mitigate the loss of funding by removing seven elementary school teaching positions, said Green. Also, a teaching position at one of the alternate schools was not filled, Green said. At an October Langley board of education meeting, Trustee Megan Dykeman asked him if that was going to impact classrooms. “We had numbers that didn’t materialize with classes that would have been on the edge of maybe needing another teacher or not,” explained assistant superintendent Claire Guy. Green’s report didn’t indicate why fewer students enrolled this year than predicted. The strange variance was felt across B.C., with Surrey seeing fewer new students than expected, and falling enrolment numbers

in Vancouver. While there were some initial indications it may be that parents are taking kids out of the public school system and into private or home schooling, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Most districts are calling the variance “a blip.” Langley saw 36 fewer international students this year. The district relies on funding from international students. The district saw an increase of around 120 more special needs students. Year after year, there has been a steady increase in special needs students, pointed out Trustee Alison McVeigh. She said she believes that is from more children being diagnosed earlier. In Langley schools, there are double the number of male students with special needs, compared to females.

Concerns raised about liquor store

Miranda gaThercole Times Reporter

A property located beside an elementary school and across the street from a church is no place for a liquor store, residents told Township council at a public hearing on Nov. 19. The Willoughby Town Centre, currently under construction by QC Holdings at 208 Street and 80 Avenue, is a

mixed-use development that will include retail stores, office space and residential units. The public hearing was for an amendment to add a licensee retail store, group children’s day care and seniors’ housing to the project. Pete Pretorious believes it would be a “fatal flaw” for the licensee store to be put in. With Willoughby Elementary located right next door, a

liquor store or pub would be inappropriate, he said. James VanderZwaan, speaking on behalf of the trustees of the Free Reformed Church at 20757 80 Ave., asked council to adhere to current regulations and ensure that a pub or liquor store would not be allowed within 400 metres of the church. The additions to the development were approved by council on Monday.

Increase is outrageous

Just what is the job?

angley Township council will likely get another raise in January — 13 months after enraged citizens protested a 12 per cent raise given to the mayor and 19 per cent for councillors, which took effect last December. The latest boost is the result of a report by a council-appointed task force, empowered to look into how council should set its wage rates. Outrage over raises that bore little resemblance to what most people receive has been replaced by justification as to why council members need even more. The one good thing which the task force did point out in its report was that the old system, where council wages here were set by comparing them to those paid to other councils, was inappropriate. As the report states: “This type of comparison resulted in inappropriate benchmarking of remuneration, as like-sized jurisdictions were all using the same and each other as comparators.” Precisely. It was a vicious circle. One council would grant itself a raise, and then others would follow suit, claiming “they had to keep up.” The task force did a good job of pinpointing the problem, but it had great difficulty coming up with a sensible solution. It agreed unanimously that council members are not overpaid, and then decided that the salaries of the mayor and council need to be based on the salaries of federal MPs, MLAs, provincial cabinet ministers, judges, high school principals and the head of the Langley RCMP detachment. Why were these positions chosen? There is no comparison between the work done by a judge, principal or police chief, and that of a councillor. The only similarity is that all are paid for by taxpayers. At a time when council should be showing restraint, to show respect for taxpayers and set an example for unionized staff who are in the midst of negotiating a new contract, the majority of Langley Township council seems poised to vote themselves a total compensation increase of from 12 to 14 per cent in January (including a new travel allowance). This is outrageous, and if it passes, shows a deeply-ingrained sense of entitlement.

And as soon as the words MP James Lunney-trip-Israel-MiddleEast-unrest appear in the same news story, our e-mail inbox fills rapidly. Like anything else in life, perhaps it’s all about balance. We believe Cantelon and Lunney are duty bound to greet people, award people, mix with them and add some pomp and circumstance to any event. There are many people who still respect the offices of mayor, MLA or MP and welcome them to their events and grand openings. Both Cantelon and Lunney do not carry heavy ministerial loads, so they should be available for these kinds of things in their ridings. The problem for Cantelon in particular is many people are angry the legislature is not sitting right now. This leads some voters to go bonkers when they see a photograph of a Liberal MLA cutting a ribbon at a craft fair. We are rarely shy in this space when it comes to criticizing politicians, but we are sympathetic with them when it comes to how they fill their calendars. Clearly, they cannot win. If they are in Victoria or Ottawa too much, they are accused of being out of touch with their constituents. Cut a few ribbons in Parksville or Qualicum Beach and they should be in Ottawa or Victoria fixing health care.

Landowners benefit from ‘U District’ Editor: I continue to follow the “University District” saga with interest. It has more twists and turns than Peyton Place, and makes even less sense. What else can one say about a proposal that is brought forward, withdrawn, brought forward again greatly expanded, rejected by the Agricultural Land Commission, then downsized and brought forward yet again. Yes it is back, with another public hearing probable on Dec. 3. And this new version still includes property that the ALC says will not be allowed out of the Agricultural Land Reserve. Can they not read? The bigger issue, however, is the Wall property. The Township’s attempt to graft the Wall property onto the University Dis-

trict is notably lacking in credibility. The property is isolated from Trinity Western University by a large wetland and the Salmon River. The proposed 25-acre development on the property would be the worst sort of spot zoning with expensive housing (much too expensive for professors, much less students), right in the middle of the ALR. Yes, one councillor did lecture us (once a teacher always a teacher) that the Wall family is going to give 50 acres to the Township, with a walkway to TWU. But careful research would have shown that a walkway over this huge wetland is not practical. And the 50 acres are, for the most part, already protected as a wetland and riparian zone along the Salmon River. So the

Build More

50 acres is not so much a gift as a Trojan horse that ties the Township to the Wall property, to the benefit of only the Wall family. One has to question the actions of senior staff, when so much is being done for the Wall family, while the public has been ignored. Requests to participate in planning and provide input into the new OCP have met with the proverbial stone wall. Meanwhile, the cost of this fiasco in legal fees and the cost to Langley’s reputation are substantial. Agree or disagree with the University District — it is clear that the Wall property does not belong. Doug McFee, Langley

It’s time to end tobacco sales in pharmacies Editor: On May 31, 2013, British Columbia will have the infamous distinction of being the only Canadian province that still allows tobacco to be sold in pharmacies and stores that contain a pharmacy. Pharmacies are places where people go for health care, not to purchase a deadly product that, when used as directed, is still the number one cause of preventable death and disease in the province. The argument is often made that forcing pharmacies to stop selling tobacco will economically hurt small business — “the little guy” — the independently owned and operated neighbourhood pharmacy. This argument is a fallacy, as the vast majority

of those independently owned and operated pharmacies in B.C. have already made the voluntary and health-promoting decision not to sell tobacco. The over 400 pharmacies and stores that contain a pharmacy that still continue to sell tobacco in B.C. are primarily large chain stores, whose corporate head offices are placing their own business interests above the health interests of their customers and communities. We, along with our fellow health-related organizations, the College of Pharmacists of B.C., the B.C. Medical Association and the Canadian Cancer Society, B.C. and Yukon, believe it’s time that the provincial govern-

Not listeNed to

ment did the right thing. It needs to make drug stores truly places of health care, and legislate the removal of cigarettes and other tobacco products from B.C. pharmacies and stores that contain a pharmacy. It is time that B.C. joined the confederation of all the other provinces who have already taken leadership in this important area of tobacco control. In this instance, being late is better than never. Diego Marchese CEO, BC & Yukon Heart and Stroke Foundation Scott McDonald President & CEO BC Lung Association

Picking up stones to throw at others Editor: Someone is angry and lashes out They pick up a stone to cast Of their purpose, there is little doubt They hope that the hurt will last. If we suffer that hit and say nought They pick more stones from the ground

So happy with the response they sought They throw many, hit and pound. If we decide to do “tit for tat” And repay them for what they’ve done We will be hurling many stones back Till someone thinks they have won.

We may need to assertively stand And to make our viewpoints clear Hopefully, we will once again band And value all that is dear. Cora Goodyear, Langley

Green spaces should be within regional plan Editor: I have read with great concern about the plan the Township of Langley has to sell the 25 acre forest known as McLellan Park Forest East. This very name has probably led most residents of the community to believe that this really is a park. Not so. Residents of Langley Township should wake up and smell the coffee. Make sure The

that all your publicly-owned green spaces are zoned as parks and that they are designated in the Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy as Conservation/Recreation. A change in usage of such lands cannot be made without a two-thirds assenting vote of Metro’s board of directors, following a regional public hearing which all residents of

Editor: Roundabouts in Langley have been very successful in reducing accidents. The intersection of Robertson Crescent and 256 Street is a perfect location for a roundabout. The construction price tag is very low in comparison to the possibility of fatalities or injuries. One thing that the Township should do is post a speed sign at each roundabout entrance, such as is done in Abbotsford. This would provide motorists with a clear understanding of the expected speed in the roundabout. Wally Martin, Langley

the whole Metro region (22 municipalities) can attend and speak to the matter. You cannot change what is done to devastate the forests of the Amazon, but you can protect our own forests that are in public ownership. Helen Brown, Langley

Editor: On Monday night, Langley Township council voted on the Forewest Construction development proposal. It’s a frustrating time for our community, as we feel helpless in this decision. Two years ago, we didn’t feel helpless as our community rallied together and made our desires for our community known. I thought this was the process. We do our research come election time. We vote. As community decisions arise, we expect our councillors to do what they feel is best for the community. We cross our fingers that they make the right decisions. But in absence of this confidence, we voice our opinions. We let them know clearly what our community wants. Then they vote. We hope they listen. Two years ago this happened, and now for some reason we are back here again with a very similar development and an identical community feel. Almost 50 speakers were opposed, and 250 opposed it in a signed petition. And yet it is proceeding. Something needs to change. So come election time, do your research. And then vote. It’s not just the community of Willoughby either. Brookswood, you might be next. Jennifer Veerman, Langley

The popularity of low-priced Cariboo beer helped push Pacific Western Brewery’s production to a tax threshold.

Beer policy changed

Tom FleTcher Black Press

The B.C. government has changed its policy for taxing smaller breweries, to stave off a possible pre-Christmas shutdown at a Prince George brewery and promote growth in the craft brewing business. Smaller breweries are taxed at a lower rate than big commercial operations, until this week paying a flat tax of $1.75 per litre of bottled or canned beer and $1.20 per litre of draft. That rate applied until annual production reached 16 million litres, at which point the higher commercial brewery rate applied to the entire production run. Reaching that threshold would trigger a tax increase in the millions of dollars, and Pacific Western Brewing of Prince George was the only B.C. producer getting close, partly from increased sales of their low-priced line of Cariboo beers. The company notified its employees last week that it was facing a shutdown for December if the tax policy didn’t change. Deputy premier Rich Coleman said Monday the new system creates a sliding scale of tax rates for smaller brewers that takes them up to the commercial tax rate of big breweries when they reach 30 million litres of annual production. Retroactive taxation no longer applies to amounts up to the limit for qualifying breweries. Coleman said he supports the general policy of giving tax relief to smaller brewers, brought in by the Social Credit government in 1988. But the production ceiling and retroactive tax have created problems for brewers since then, and he hopes the new policy will allow them to plan their business and grow. An earlier version of the policy was withdrawn last week, amid reports that the president of Pacific Western Brewing had recently donated an auction prize of accommodation in the Caribbean to a Nov. 8 fundraiser in Coleman’s Fort Langley-Aldergrove constituency. Coleman said he has returned that donation, and he should have checked to see that party donations were not solicited from people who have current business with his ministry. Both smaller brewers and large multinationals donate to the B.C. Liberals. He said the policy includes a chart that shows what brewers pay at each production level, to reduce confusion about how it applies to each business. The preferential rates apply to seven breweries currently operating in B.C.

Poverty is a problem, but solutions elude B

.C.’s ritual day of shame over child poverty has come and gone once again, with politicians trading blame and time-worn talking points. The occasion was an annual gathering staged at the B.C. Teachers’ Federation office in downtown Vancouver. It is organized by First Call, an umbrella group sponsored by the BCTF, the B.C. Government Employees’ Union and a collection of likeminded “anti-poverty activists,” as they describe themselves in their latest report. The familiar script unfolded. The report misinterprets federal income statistics from two years ago and calls for a long list of uncosted, but hugely expensive measures that they assert will make B.C. the first jurisdiction in human history to eradicate poverty. A sampling: provide raises for employees and contractors at all levels of government until they are making an unspecified “living wage,” because we all know how public sector workers uniquely suffer from pay and pension inequality. Raise the minimum wage again and index it to inflation. Establish universal public dental care, prescription drug and eye care programs, and daycare. (Dismiss targeted programs that already provide this.) Raise welfare rates and expand eligibility for employment insurance. Cut tuition and provide more student grants. Eliminate homelessness. And so it continues toward a socialist Utopia and certain bankruptcy for provincial and federal governments already deeply in the red. I wrote about these numbers when Statistics Canada released them back in June. They showed a modest improvement nationally and provincially in what they measure, which is not poverty, but the relative relationship between income groups. First Call dismisses that improvement as “a dismal record.” My point is not to

Poor people are increasingly crowded into the most expensive places. If I’m on welfare or working in a lowwage job and receiving a provincial rent subsidy (one of those things LICO doesn’t measure), should I live in downtown Victoria or Vancouver? Shouldn’t I relocate to a smaller community where housing is cheaper? There are lots of complications to this, but some kind of incentive to relocate could help big and small communities.

Kurt Langmann Black Press

For the first time an all-star Canadian cast of figure skaters are bringing a Christmas production to the Langley Events Centre. The Holiday Festival on Ice comes to the 4,000-seat arena this Saturday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. Spokesman Jared Harman says public interest has been great and tickets have been selling well. With a line-up headlined by champions Kurt Browning, Joannie Rochette and Elvis Stojko, as well as Jeffrey Buttle, Shawn Sawyer, and Sinead and John Kerr, figure skating fans will get a variety of programs that highlight their individual styles and characters. One of the stars, Elvis Stojko called on Monday from his home in Mexico, to talk about the upcoming show. Stojko and his wife, Mexican figure skater Gladys Orozco, have made their home there in a gated community near Guadalajara. “There’s an arena nearby to rehearse in, in the main city, that my wife and I can go and train on, get prepared for shows,” said Stojko. “We did rehearsals in Newfoundland a few weeks ago — we did a show there for CBC,

Athleticism and artistry combine from PAGE 15

Stojko is renowned for his athletic prowess, with much of it due to his interest in martial arts that dates back to his childhood. He has often brought that aspect into his skating programs. At the 1991 World Championships, Stojko became the first person to land a quadruple-double jump combination. “I have that (athletic reputation), it’s kind of what I’ve been labeled as, even though when I did the Northern Lights program people were amazed because, ‘wow, it’s so fluid and you’re so artistic,’ and I’m like, ‘yeah, it’s been there the whole time, it’s just a matter of people being able to see it.’ “Sometimes in our sport it’s like people talk and paint a picture for other people and they end up following that typical stereotype, what has been said in the past, they keep repeating the same thing, and you kind of fall into a category. “I haven’t done any (martial arts) in a while although I do train and keep myself in shape off-ice. I was competing back in the mid-2000s when I took a break from skating, and went to the nationals and won that

and then the kung fu world championships and got a silver there. Played around with that a bit, which was a lot of fun.” Stojko, who was given his first name because his parents were Elvis Presley fans, has also indulged in a singing career. However, he downplays that aspect: “I did that as a hobby on the side. A few years ago I did a tour through Ontario and I sang ‘live’ and my wife skated, a song for her. We got married in 2010 and in 2011 we did the show. It was a lot of fun, really enjoyable, but I won’t be doing that on this tour, I’ll just be focused on the skating aspect. After retiring from competition in 2002 Stojko says he “did a lot of professional shows and touring” as well as guest commentary at competitions. “It varies, skating’s changed quite a bit since that time. Back in the day I used to do anywhere between 80 to 140 shows a year. That’s dropped down to anywhere from 10 to 25. Usually, from September all the way to April, it’s really busy.” Then, in the summer, Stojko gets to play with race cars. “I’m busy racing go-karts in

Canada and in Mexico. It’s the next venture I’m going to be going into. It’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid and now I get a chance to do it. We have a really good track here for go-karting and the shifter karts we use are basically what the F1 guys train on, on the off-season; they’re fast and you learn a lot. “The drivers are really good here. I’m the only Canadian in the group but they took me in and I’ve learned a lot. I’ve been doing races down here and the Rotax series in Canada, which I went to nationals with last year. “I couldn’t finish the final, my seat broke, but I was only four- or five-tenths off the guy that won. I’m in the hunt and hopefully next summer I’ll be raring to go and be on top of things.” However, now aged 40, Stojko says he’s careful with his body and tries to stay injuryfree. “I don’t even think about those things, I just go out and enjoy myself and stay balanced — don’t go out when I’m tired, only when I have energy and am feeling good.” Tickets are still available at Ticketmaster.ca

You & The Law Marijuana tax estimates based on doubling price

PRESENTS Must you accept a re-hire offer if fired? Suppose you’re summarily fired for no reason, except that your company is downsizing. Or suppose you are “constructively dismissed,” for example, your company demotes you and slashes your pay, so you quit rather than accepting this breach of contract. In both cases, you’re probably entitled to an amount of damages equal to a period of reasonable notice of employment termination that you should have been given. So, for example, you’ll get damages equal to six months’ pay if you should have been given six months’ notice. This amount is intended as compensation for your boss’ breach of contract (not as punishment). You, in turn, have an obligation to reduce or “mitigate” your financial loss by looking for alternate employment. So if you find other work before the 6 months are up, this amount of income is deducted from what your boss is obligated to pay you in damages. But what if, after a wrongful dismissal, your employer offers to hire you back for the period of reasonable notice. Must you accept? Do you have to go back to work for the same boss who previously fired you? In a 2008 case, the Supreme Court of Canada decided that if there is no embarrassment, humiliation or indignity involved, and if there is no hostility in the return workplace or other good reason not to return, you must go back. If you refuse to return to a comparable temporary job, you risk losing out on the damages owed to you for the initial wrongful dismissal because of your failure to mitigate. In this case, following a change in the union’s executive, the union’s business agent was wrongfully let go by the union employer after 23 years of service. He

sued for 24 months of reasonable notice, offering to work for 12 months and accept another 12 months’ compensation in place of notice. His employer rejected that proposal, and offered to re-hire him in a comparable job for the balance of the remaining 24 months notice period. He refused, and the Court ultimately decided that, because he didn’t accept this offer and mitigate the loss, he wasn’t entitled to any compensation. However, you don’t always have to go back, as several later cases in BC have illustrated. There are situations where you can legitimately refuse, for example, if you would be forced to accept a significant demotion and pay cut, or if you had been treated badly or were embarrassed in front of co-workers when let go, or if you would be returning to an acrimonious, unwelcoming work environment. The option of being re-hired can therefore be a tricky one if you feel you were treated badly when fired or you’d be apprehensive about returning – you may or may not be legally obligated to return to work, and if you make the wrong choice, you risk losing your compensation for the wrongful dismissal. And what if your employer’s offer to return isn’t very clear about what exactly is being offered, whether in terms of the type of job, compensation or time period? Each case is very dependent on its own particular facts and circumstances. You should seek professional legal advice if faced with this particular mine field.

Chasing too much revenue may keep black market alive Jeff Nagel Black Press

Taxing B.C. bud could generate hundreds of millions of dollars in provincial government revenue each year, but likely not billions, a new study suggests. The study, prepared by UBC and SFU researchers and published in the International Journal of Drug Policy, estimates B.C. marijuana users spend roughly $500 million a year on pot. The Stop The Violence campaign to legalize marijuana has used that figure to infer B.C. could reap $2.5 billion in revenue over five years by heavily taxing the drug. That would mean at least doubling the current price of weed to generate the

same amount in tax if it were sold legally in the province — a scenario some observers have warned could keep the gang-controlled black market alive and well. Washington State, with a similar sized pot-smoking population, has come up with its own estimate of nearly $2 billion in government revenue over five years from taxing marijuana. Voters there approved legalization in a referendum earlier this month. Its planned 25-percent tax would be levied not just once but on each wholesale and retail sale, and other state and local taxes and licensing fees would also apply. Kevin Hollett, a spokesman for

Stop The Violence, defended the idea of tax levels that sharply drive up the price, noting taxes make up 81 per cent of the retail price of tobacco. But SFU criminology professor Neil Boyd said governments hungry to plunder the pot market should be careful how much money they try to extract. “The current price on the black market of marijuana is $200 to 300 an ounce,” he said. “If people who are going to tax and regulate it were going to sell it for $600, you’re still going to have a black market.” Another criminologist, Daryl Plecas, has also argued high taxes just keep the door open for organized crime. He said the main market for gangs

would go up in smoke if pot was made legal for anyone to grow and possess and government made no attempt to tax or regulate it, but added that only works if consistent laws are applied across North America. Boyd said he believes governments could tap a major flow of revenue under legalization without driving too much trade underground. Alcohol is heavily taxed, he noted, but there’s no significant black market. He agreed illegal trade will remain a factor as long as there’s a big export market. A North Americawide scheme would be best, he said, but predicts there’d be “a really significant change” if even half the U.S. states taxed and regulated pot. The new study’s estimates were based on an average price paid in B.C. of $7.50 per gram, although it cautioned most pot smokers may pay more than that. Washington’s estimates assumed a $12-per-gram retail price, four times the estimated $3-pergram cost of licensed marijuana producers. Past studies suggest B.C. grown marijuana is worth $7 billion a year, with at least 85 per cent going to export. The number of pot grow-ops in B.C. is thought to have nearly doubled between 2003 and 2010.

Operation Red Nose hits Langley roads this weekend Brenda anderson Times Reporter

It will be easier than ever to find a safe ride home this holiday season. Operation Red Nose volunteers are busy hitching up their sleighs in almost every city in the Lower Mainland, with service due to begin in LangleySurrey this weekend (Nov. 30 and Dec. 1). This year, Burnaby and New Westminster have joined the program which offers clients a safe ride home (or wherever they want to go) in their own vehicles. The process is simple, clients call for a ride and the first available vehicle comes to them. A designated driver chauffeurs the client in the client’s vehicle

while two more volunteers in an escort vehicle follow them to their destination. It’s all done at no charge, but ORN volunteers do accept donations on behalf of the charity that is running the show. In Langley-Surrey, that’s the Langley Gymnastics Foundation. Since it began, ORN Langley has covered the LangleySurrey-White Rock area. Over the years, more communities have introduced their own programs and with the addition of Burnaby and New Westminster, “You can pretty much go anywhere in the Lower Mainland,” said Garry Geisler, who has volunteered with the Langley group since its first season 14 years ago and served as coordinator for most of that time.

“You can party in Richmond and get all the way back to Chilliwack,” he said. Though you’ll probably meet a few new people along the way. When clients want passage from one community to another, a driver will take them as far as the municipal boundary where they’ll be met by a team from the next city, and so on, until they reach their destination — whether that’s in Abbotsford or Lions Bay. Vancouver is the last holdout, Geisler said, though he is confident they will come on board eventually. In its early years, a big part of the challenge for ORN volunteers was getting the word continued, PAGE 21

Celebrating 13 Years in Business! We Invite You to Our

Plan early for a safe ride home, advises longtime ORN volunteer CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY

An ICBC poster urgers holiday revelers to ‘Let Rudy take the wheel’ this December. out about the service, which was still unfamiliar to a lot of people, said Geisler. These days, it’s pretty well known, but volunteers still spend the early part of each evening spreading the word and reminding people to plan ahead for a safe ride home. Joined by their mascot, a fuzzy yellow reindeer named Rudy, they spend the early part of each Friday and Saturday

evening making the rounds of banquet halls and bars, saying hello and dropping off business cards. Now that most people know who they are, the key is to plant the idea before they’ve had a few drinks, Geisler said. If a plan is already in place to use the service, people are more likely to stick to it than if it is suggested to them once they’ve over-imbibed, he

explained. Something else that has changed over the years is the demographic that Operation Red Nose serves. “In the beginning, it was a lot of middle aged couples out at company Christmas parties. Now it’s a lot of young people who are out partying. It’s not considered nerdy or a bad thing to use (the service).” Although they already have a number of volunteer drivers, escorts and navigators ready to go, there is always room for more — especially on the weekend before Christmas, said Geisler. Anyone who would like to help out is asked to download a form from the Red Nose website at rednose.bc.ca. Volunteers are also required to undergo a background check with the RCMP. For those considering using the service, it will be offered every Friday and Saturday night in December and on New Year’s Eve. Calls will be taken from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. each night and rides will be given until every caller has been safely delivered. Call 604-532-0888 to arrange a ride.

Intracorp brings riverfront luxury to Richmond

Oval Village welcomes River Park Place Intracorp is introducing “New Luxury” to the Richmond Oval Village with its newest development, River Park Place. This riverfront master-planned and pedestrian-friendly community will be developed in three phases. These contemporary condominiums will redefine urban living, complement the existing Oval Village and add a significant architectural landmark to the neighbourhood. The first phase, a 15-storey tower, will mark the entrance to the Oval Village shopping district. The interiors will showcase quality finishes and sophisticated and efficient

design. Residents will have access to a private banquet room for entertaining. Other amenities include music rooms, a basketball court, a secured children’s play area, and much more. River Park Place will be a few blocks away from the new T&T Supermarket. There is also shopping, dining and the state-of-the-art Richmond Oval fitness centre located right in the neighbourhood.

Among the amenities offered is an outdoor swimming pool, hot tub, putting green, community garden, fully equipped fitness facility and a lounge and bar with a multi-media room, party room and kitchen, among other things. “Nobody else can offer these amenities,” says Greenfield. “We have 1.5 acres of outdoor space.” When you venture off the property, you will find shopping and dining just steps away at Coquitlam Centre. There are several leisure activities in the 2,200 acres of parks and trails nearby, as

well as education at Douglas College and several elementary and secondary schools. “Our location is optimal,” Greenfield says. “We made sure that we made life as comfortable as possible.” Intergulf is proud to offer 100 homes under $300,000, which gives first-time buyers a chance to buy a home in a great transit-oriented community. “This is a great investment,” Greenfield says. “It’s the optimal time to buy.” Homes at Grand Central Three start at $229,900.

‘It’s the optimal time to buy’

Living the grand life at Intergulf’s Grand Central By Kerry Vital

Life is grand at Intergulf Development Group’s Grand Central Three, in the heart of Coquitlam’s centre and right on the soon-to-bebuilt Evergreen Line. With great layouts, beautiful features and amazing amenities, finding the perfect home at Grand Central will not be hard. “We’ve been very careful to efficiently design the homes,” says Rennie project manager Macartney Greenfield. “Our layouts are pretty fantastic.” Ranging from 545 to over 1,400 square feet, the 249 homes are available in a range of one- and two-bedroom plans, some with a den as well. The 37-storey building has huge windows and spacious balconies or patios, so the outdoors is never far away no matter what the weather is like. Inside, the 8’8-ceilings and laminate wood flooring throughout the living and dining rooms combine for a truly great first impression. Buyers are able to choose between two colour schemes, Chelsea and Manhattan, giving you options for making your home yours. Stainless-steel appliances, contemporary wood veneer cabinetry and quartz countertops are all included in the elegant kitchen, and the marble backsplash is a highlight. “It really sticks out as a design

Large soaker tubs and porcelain tile flooring are complemented by contemporary faucets and fixtures by Moen. In the two-bedroom homes, the ensuite includes a bath/shower with ceramic or glass tile. A full-size washer and dryer is included with every suite, one of many convenient touches that Intergulf is offering its buyers. This is the third phase of Grand Central, so buyers will be able to

Majority have shopped across border: poll

KPMG Enterprise™

Your Private Company Adviser

Jeff NAGeL Black Press

Two-thirds of B.C. residents have crossed the U.S. border to shop in the past year and 45 per cent have done so within the past three months, according to a new poll. Ipsos Reid conducted the online survey of nearly 2,500 B.C. residents in October. Ninety per cent of respondents knew duty-free limits on purchases Canadians bring back were increased June 1 for overnight visits to the U.S. But only nine per cent said that led them to shop more over the line. Retail price differences between U.S. and Canadian merchants was the top reason for cross-border shopping — listed by two-thirds of respondents. The availability of deals in the U.S., better selection at retailers there and the currency exchange rate were Dave Pierzchala also facipsos reid senior vice-president tors cited by about half of those polled. The costs of heading across the border — gas, food or a hotel room — were less likely to drive decision making. “It will be interesting to see how these numbers are impacted by the influx of American retailers to Canada,” Ipsos Reid senior vice-president Dave Pierzchala said. “These figures suggest that Canadians will still be heading to the U.S. unless the U.S. retailers operating in Canada offer pricing in Canadian locations that is in line with their U.S. pricing.” Nearly a quarter of respondents said they sometimes feel guilty about cross-border shopping instead of buying in Canada. Asked if they had ever lied to a customs agent about how much they spent in the U.S., 15 per cent said yes and 83 per cent said no.

“It will be interesting to see how these numbers are impacted by the influx of American retailers to Canada.”

Feds kick in money for McLeod upgrade McLeod Athletic Park is getting an upgrade thanks to some funding from the federal government. Funding of $250,000 will go towards installing a new synthetic turf field, leveling one of the park’s existing fields and upgrading the drainage. The money comes from the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF). “This investment will help create jobs and growth and will support the prosperity of Langley,” said Langley MP Mark Warawa. “McLeod Park is an incredible facility for the people of Langley and enables us, as a community, to host more sporting events, and promote the sports tourism

industry in Langley for years to come.” Warawa was in Langley earlier this month (Nov. 17) for the announcement, which was held at McLeod Park. The money will also help create jobs and economic growth in the community. “McLeod Athletic Park is one of the exceptional athletic facilities that have helped Langley Township gain a reputation for being an outstanding sport tourism destination,” said Township Mayor Jack Froese. “We truly appreciate this Community Infrastructure Improvement support, which will further enhance this park for use by community groups

Stamps stun Knights, off to finals The Langley Stampeders are relishing their role as underdogs. For the third straight playoff game, the midget Stamps upset a higher seed and their reward is a spot in the provincial championship final. After beating the top-seed White Rock Titans in the quarterfinals, the Stampeders eliminated the second seed Ridge Meadows Knights 32-17 on Saturday at Maple Ridge’s Samuel Roberts Technical in the semifinals. “This is the first time all year we have a full, healthy roster,” said Langley coach Shane Thompson. “These guys have played shorthanded all year and for them to get healthy and go on this roll is a testament to the character on this team.” The Stampeders struggled in the regular season, posting a 4-6 record. But the playoffs have been a different story as Langley has won their three games by a combined score of 74-31.

In Saturday’s semifinal game, the Knights took a 3-0 and it took until late in the first half for Langley to respond. Quarterback Cory McMurchy scored from two yards out on a bootleg, capping off a 71-yard drive which featured three times the Stamps having to overcome first-and-20 situations because of holding penalties. But while the first half was a defensive struggle, the second half was all Stamps as they erupted for 25 points. The defence got the ball rolling with a fumble recovery, which McMurchy turned into a 37-yard touchdown strike to Ryan Porteous. McMurchy then booted a 21-yard field goal to make it 17-3 and after the Knights cut the lead to 17-10, Langley killed any momentum their opponent may have generated by delivering a clock-eating 73-yard drive which was capped off by Reagan Doucette running the ball in

from 10 yards out. And on the team’s next possession, Sameer Nasiri scampered to the end zone on a 61-yard run. The Knights then added a late touchdown with 32 seconds remaining. A big key to the victory was the play of the defensive line as Jon Miao, Sukh Toor, Shaiheem Charles-Brown and Brayden Norcliffe completely shut down the Meadow Ridge running game. For the offence, Daniel Adimora came up with a couple of key catches, while Kalen McMurchy and Bryan Desmarais contributed to the running game. ••••• The Stampeders will face the Coquitlam Falcons on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. in the provincial final at McLeod Park. There will be three other provincial finals at McLeod preceding that game. The atom final is at 9:30 a.m., the junior bantam game is at 11:30 a.m. and the bantam final is at 2 p.m.

Eagles soar to gold in Abby The Langley Eagles were nearly perfect in capturing top spot at the Dallas Saunders Bantam AAA hockey tournament over the weekend in Abbotsford. The Eagles squad went 5-0-1 in their six games to take top spot. In the championship final, Langley blanked Kelowna 3-0 to win the gold. That was the team’s third shutout of the tournament and they also had two other games where they allowed just one goal apiece. Other scores included: 7-1 over Chilliwack, 3-3 against Vancouver, 4-0 over Kelowna, 10-0 over Richmond and 4-1 over Coquitlam. ••••• The Langley FC Thunder bested the Langley United Storm in the finals of a Semiahmoo youth soccer tournament earlier this month. The U9 girls’ team edged their Langley rivals 3-2 in the gold medal game. The Thunder had advanced to the final thanks to a 2-0-1 record in pool play, which included a pair of shutouts.

••••• Aldergrove Totems’ Gurmaan Jhaj was selected to the Commissioners XVI at the senior boys’ AA soccer provincial championships last week in Burnaby. The Commissioners XVI recognizes an outstanding player from each of the competing teams. Aldergrove went 0-2-1 in pool play — which included a loss by a single goal to eventual provincial champion Okanagan Mission — to finish fourth in their pool. In their placement game, the Totems hammered D.P. Todd 4-0 to finish in 15th place. ••••• Two local lacrosse players have committed to NCAA schools for next season. Reece Callies will attend High Point University while Johnny Pearson will go to Ohio State University where they will join their school’s respective field lacrosse programs. Both Callies and Pearson are products of the Langley Lacrosse Association.

Helps to activate naturally millions of stem cells from our own bone marrow. The increase in stem cells released from the bone marrow into the blood stream have the potential to become other types of tissue cells with specialized function. Stem cells will multiply and are able to become heart cells, liver cells or any other organ. Located everywhere in our body, stem cells are even under our skin layered between the epidermis and dermis. This is why an increase in stem cells under our skin may help to create a more youthful cell that would replenish elastin and collagen and thus may make us look younger. If our bone marrow does not produce enough stem cells this can result in many illnesses, especially a weak heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, in fact all healthy functions of our body are decreased. Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential of self-repair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues. It does not contain live human stem cells as these can only be transplanted by surgery and are subject to immuno-suppressant drugs to avoid graft rejection. Naturopathic Doctor summarized his experience in writing after using this Stem Cell Activator: Used for all organ and tissue damage, heart attack damage, osteo-arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic brain injury, muscular dystrophy, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, lupus, spinal injuries, and other diseases and tissue damage.

Mind your business.

Eagles soar in Langley The start was great, but the final two periods, not so much for the Langley Rivermen. Langley’s Mario Puskarich opened the scoring 22 seconds into Tuesday’s junior A hockey tilt with the Surrey Eagles at the Langley Events Centre. And even after the Eagles tied the score at one, the home side went into the locker room with a 2-1 lead thanks to Mitch McLain’s goal which came 35 seconds before intermission. But the Eagles scored four times in the second period on their way to a 7-3 victory. Evan Campbell had the Rivermen’s third goal, which came in the third period, cutting the lead to 5-3 before Surrey scored twice in the late going. Brady Shaw paced the visitors with a five-point night, including three goals.

Spartans break into win column with victory over Bisons The Trinity Western Spartans led from start to finish in earning their first victory of the season. The Spartans women’s basketball team

defeated the Manitoba Bisons 63-54 on Saturday at the Langley Events Centre. They also hosted the Winnipeg Wesmen on Friday, losing 68-44 and the

team is now 1-7. Against Manitoba, the Spartans led by just four points at the half, but started the second quarter with an 11-1 run to put the game out of

reach. “I thought we played a lot better in terms of basic team-play for the first three quarters,” said Spartans coach Cheryl Jean-Paul. “I still think we have a lot of things to fix in terms of how we approach the fourth quarter but we were able to fight through and get the win. I hope this was a good character-building experience for us. It wasn’t pretty but it was effective. “I’m proud of the girls for fighting hard and they wanted this. I think Emily (Knauff) came in a hit some critical shots in the fourth quarter and we were able to maintain our composure just long enough to win the game.” Holly Strom led the team with 23 points and four rebounds while Knauff had 18 points, five boards and three steals. Chelsey Olsen

chipped in with a gamehigh 13 rebounds to go along with eight points. ••••• In a tightly-fought battle from tip-off to the final buzzer, the Manitoba Bisons edged the Trinity Western men’s basketball team late, pulling out an 81-80 victory at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday night. Coupled with a 78-56 loss the night before to the Winnipeg Wesmen, the Spartans fell to 2-6 on the season. The Spartans led 79-76 but the Bisons closed the game on a 5-1 run to end the game. “It’s unfortunate because the guys worked hard,” said Spartans coach Scott Allen. “We gave the ball away a bunch of times and we didn’t execute down the stretch. “I thought it was a better effort: they’re trying to learn how to

fight, but just at the end, it didn’t come together for us.” Denny McDonald and Mark Perrin led the home team with 21 points apiece while Kurtis Osborne had 14. Perrin also had a gamehigh nine rebounds and four steals while McDonald added six rebounds. ••••• The Trinity Western Spartans head into the semester break on a high note after posting their first win of the season. The Spartans offence erupted for five secondperiod goals to defeat the Eastern Washington Eagles 6-2 on Friday at the Langley Events Centre. The victory improved the Trinity Western men’s hockey team to 1-9-0-1. “Everything we practiced this week and everything we’ve been finally practicing came to fruition,” said Spar-

tans coach Dwayne Lowdermilk. “The guys never let up and we attacked. “We calmed it down in the second period and we executed and that turned out to be the difference.” The Spartans trailed 2-1 after 20 minutes before taking control with a dominant middle period. Trevor Beaupre tied the score at two and 51 seconds later, Sam Gemmell put the hosts up 3-2. Matt Chaput, Jamey Kreller and Nathan Wiebe then tacked on goals to give Trinity Western a four-goal bulge heading into the final 20 minutes. Josh Stephenson had scored in the first on a power play. The Eagles tried desperately to get back in the game, firing 23 shots on goal, but Harry Fredeman stopped them all. He finished with 37 saves on 39 shots. ••••• Trinity Western’s Fiona Benson put herself into a position to be named to Canada’s senior national cross country team after she finished sixth amongst Canadians and eighth overall at the Canadian cross country championships on Saturday (Nov. 24) at Jericho Beach. With her top six finish and a time of 24:07.34 over seven kilometres, it’s anticipated Benson will be amongst the seven Canadians who will be named to this year’s national squad. If she is selected to Team Canada, it’s likely Benson will compete at the 2013 NACAC (North America, Central America and Caribbean Athletic Association) Championships Jan. 25 in Jamaica and possibly at the 2013 world championships March 24 in Bydgoszcz, Poland. Benson, who was coming off a Canada West championship and fifth place finish nationally at the CIS championships two weeks ago, was the top university and collegiate runner Saturday in a race that saw her beat the 2011 CIS cross country champion from Guelph, Genevieve Lalonde. This year’s university champion, Guelph’s Andrea Seccafien, did not race. “Fiona was very successful in a deep field, which is great for her and great for us,” said Spartans coach Laurier Primeau.

SHOPLAND, Harold Joseph July 5, 1925 - Nov, 16, 2012

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our brother, step-father, stepgrandfather, uncle & great-uncle Alex. He leaves to mourn his loss, sisters Linda Bruns & Phyllis Christensen, step-children Paul & Jodi and numerous grandchildren, nieces & nephews. Predeceasing Alex was his brother Bill, father Manley & mother Constance Hall. In his youth, Alex was an avid football, rugby player and sports fan. He was a gentle man with a big heart. We miss you dearly -until we meet again Al.

Born July 5, 1925 in Edmonton, AB. Died peacefully November 16, 2012 in Langley, BC. Predeceased by his loving wife of 60 years, Mary, and survived by their 5 children, Barb (Tony), Alan (Diane), Pat (Dave), Nancy (Larry), Jim (Laurie), 11 Grandchildren and 11 Great Grandchildren. Harold graduated from the University of British Columbia as a Civil Engineer in 1950 and after a 13-year career with Dominion Construction, started Shopland Construction Co. For the next 25 years, Shopland Construction and later Clearspan Shopland helped build the province of BC. Harold’s genuine love & interest in people kept him close to family and friends & he always made those that knew him smile. The family would like to thank The Renaissance Retirement Residences for their love, compassion & care for Harold over the past 5 years. A Celebration of Life will be held on December 14, 2012 at 1pm at Crescent United Church 2756 - 127th Street, Surrey, BC with a reception to follow.

Entry-level earnings start at $30.79/hour to $40.42/hour. Train Locally – The only program of its kind in BC, students can learn within their local communities via distance education, local and/or regional clinical placements, and some regional classroom delivery. This 23 month program is accredited by the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of BC (CRPNBC). Government student loans, Employment & Labour Market Services (ELMS), band funding & other ﬁnancing options available to qualiﬁed applicants.
