A Langley elementary teacher accused of sexually assaulting one of her students will go to trial on Feb. 19. Deborah Ralph, 58, is accused of molesting a male student between December 1998 and June 2001. The alleged victim contacted Langley RCMP on Nov. 8, 2011 to report he had been sexually assaulted by Ralph while studying at the James Kennedy Elementary School. He once was her student, but alleges he was assaulted when she was no longer his teacher. Ralph taught at the school from September 1987 to June 2010. Ralph was suspended with pay. Ralph is charged with one count of sexual assault and one of sexual interference of a person under the age of 14. Her trial is in B.C. Provincial Court in Surrey. The teacher is being defended by Janet Winteringham, a high-profile Vancouver lawyer who was on the prosecution team which obtained guilty pleas from two BC Liberal government aides charged with corruption in connection with the $1-billion sale of B.C. Rail.
Cops thank citizens for assisting arrest Extensive foot chase ends as passersby help officer to subdue and cuff 16-year-old suspect in downtown Langley Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter
A Langley RCMP officer wants to offer a “heartfelt thank you” to several Good Samaritans who helped him detain an unco-operative teenager fighting off an arrest on Saturday. “The officer really wanted to offer a sincere thank you to these citizens, but they were gone before he could,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. A 16-year-old Surrey boy was arrested after a foot chase through downtown
Langley and a scuffle on the sidewalk where the two community-minded citizens helped the officer complete the arrest, said Marks. The young suspect was first spotted near the Greyhound bus depot at around 3 p.m. The officer knew the suspect had an outstanding warrant for his arrest and when he turned around to approach the suspect, the chase was on. The young man ran through the Logan bus loop and even temporarily took refuge in a bus waiting to leave. Another officer recognized him on the

bus, forcing the young man to resume his flight across the Value Village parking lot, through Salt Lane and onto Fraser Highway. At this point the officer tackled the runner and a fight ensued, with the suspect trying to break free. Several civilians came to the aide of the officer. At least two of them helped to control the suspect’s hands so the officer was able to get the handcuffs secured. Back-up arrived and took custody of the suspect. “Throughout my 25 years of policing, I
find the public is always willing to come to the assistance of the police when asked and in this case, even when not asked,” said Langley RCMP Insp. Amrik Virk. “On behalf of Langley Detachment, myself and the arresting officer, I would like to publicly thank them for their help in dealing with this aggressive, fighting suspect. “We are very happy to have him off the street.” Police are considering charges against the young man.

We do all the work, so you can just go home.
ARE WE THERE YET REALTOR®? When a homeowner decides to sell their home they usually hire a Realtor® and the Realtor® gets to work having the home prepared for sale, getting the home, with all the relevant information, listed on the real estate board’s MLS system, and starting to notify the real estate industry and the public that the property is for sale and inviting interested buyers to come and view the home. In that order. Sometimes, within a week or two, the seller receives an offer from an interested buyer. This sudden offer is quite unexpected so soon and, human nature being what it is, the seller often feels that they should wait until more buyers view the home with the hope that the offers will only get better and they may ultimately end up selling the home for more money than the first offer contained. It’s a pretty normal reaction and, at first glance, it seems logical. In the thirty-two years that I have been involved in selling homes, both as a Realtor® and as a manager, I have learned that the opposite is often the case. After the initial flurry of interest, things die down, there are fewer buyers looking and the offers are less than that initial offer. What’s gone wrong? How can this be? It doesn’t seem to make any sense. Well, if you consider the local real estate market in a macro sense you can begin to see the logic behind this phenomenon. Every day, including today, I would guess that out of the almost 500 licensed Realtors® in the Langley area at least 25 of them have appointments today to show their buyer clients some homes that their buyer might be interested in buying. Many of these buyers have been looking for some time now and have seen many homes. Some of those homes have sold since the buyer saw them and their Realtor® has dutifully kept them informed of the final selling prices. They may have even made a low offer on one or two homes that they just loved and had their offer rejected and subsequently seen the house sell for a higher price than they had offered. They have been searching for some time, they have become acutely aware of market values for the homes, and they are tired of the search and just want to buy a home. They have seen everything that might be
suitable and desirable for them and they, and their Realtor®, are now reduced to watching for each new home coming into the marketplace. If they see one, and it looks like it meets their needs, and is properly priced in the market (and they are now very knowledgeable about market values) they want to see it right away and, if it meets their needs and desires, they will have their Realtor® write an offer at market value right away. But they do know market value and if the property isn’t priced correctly they will just pass it by without even looking. So the seller gets a quick offer at market value and wonders if they shouldn’t wait until more buyers show up in the hopes of getting a higher price. However, after a couple of weeks, all of those knowledgeable and motivated buyers have considered the home and have made their market value offer or have discounted the home and moved on. Activity on the home has dropped and the buyers who are now looking at the home don’t seem very interested in the home. What happened? Well, here’s what happened. The seller’s Realtor went through the currently available supply of buyers and now has to generate new potential buyers through their advertising. These new buyers haven’t yet seen sufficient homes to be able to make market based decisions. They are still “ just looking”. If they see your home and like your home they may make an offer but, because they are not yet knowledgeable on market prices they will make a low offer in the hope of getting the home at a below market price. Now you’re negotiating hard just to try and get the price up to the level of that initial offer that you decided not to accept in the hope of getting something better and, instead, you’ve ended up getting something worse. So, if you get an offer soon after you have put your home up for sale don’t be too quick to reject it. It may turn out to be the one offer that you should have accepted. We might be already there.

City assessments fall slightly Dan Ferguson Times Reporter
Assessed property values in the City of Langley have fallen slightly compared to the previous year while Langley Township values were up or unchanged. The just-issued 2013 BC assessment notices show the average value of a single family home in the City is now $461,000, an .86 per cent drop from $465,000 in 2012. In the Township, an average single family home is now worth $519,000, a .78 per cent increase from the $515,000 average of the previous year. Condominiums lost value in the City, with the average strata apartments going from $206,000 to $197,000, a 4.3 per cent drop. The average Langley City townhouse fell from $206,000 to $198,000, a drop of 3.8 per cent. It was a different story in Langley Township, where the average strata apartment’s assessed value was unchanged from the previous year at 191,000. The average Langley Township townhouse rose from $217,000 to $220,000, an increase of 1.3 per cent. There were ups and down in other regions of the province, too. Drops of as much as five per cent and gains of up to 10 per cent for single detached houses were experienced in Surrey, Burnaby and the TriCities. Drops as big as 10 per cent were recorded in White Rock and significant decreases were seen in Whistler, Pemberton, the Sunshine Coast and Bowen Island. “For the first time in many years a significant number of properties in the region are actually decreasing in value,” assessor Jason Gratl said of Vancouver Sea-to-Sky region changes. Many homes on Vancou-
ver’s west side and in Richmond are also down slightly, after gains of as much as 30 per cent a year earlier. Strata condos and townhomes in Metro Vancouver were susceptible to wider swings, with drops of as much as 10 per cent and gains of 10 per cent typical. But most Fraser Valley home owners are seeing minimal changes, according to assessors. The numbers vary considerably depending on neighbourhoods, property type, age and other localized factors. Assessments are considered a snapshot of the property value as of July 1, 2012, which pre-dates some of the recent decline in Lower Mainland real estate markets. The property assessments are being mailed out this week. But owners can also check their assessments online at bcassessment.ca (click on e-ValueBC) and compare with others in their neighbourhood to decide if they want to file an appeal by Jan. 31. Appeal requests go to independent property assessment review panels that convene in February. Changes in the property tax payable depends on the actual tax rates to be set by each local municipality, so a home that’s assessed five per cent higher might not pay any more in tax if the average assessment in the city rose 10 per cent and the local council sets its rate to generate a smaller tax revenue increase. The total assessed value of real estate in B.C. rose 2.3 per cent from a year ago. Most cities are seeing gains of around 1.5 per cent in their assessment rolls from new construction, expanding their tax base. — with files from Jeff Nagel, Black Press

John Cummins has confirmed that he will run in the Langley riding in the May 14 provincial election. Cummins is the leader of the BC Conservative Party, which has gained new energy in recent years. Opinion polls have given the party support from the low teens to low 20s over the past year. The Conservatives last elected an MLA to the B.C. legislature in 1977. Cummins, MP for Delta from 1993 to 2011, became leader of the provincial party in May, 2011. He told The Times in September that he was strongly considering running in Langley, as he has lived in the community for the past two years. He decided to publicly confirm that after the Victoria Times-Colonist ran a story last week, saying he would not be running in the 2013 general election. Cummins plans to continue living in Langley for some time, and also lived here years ago, teaching school. He worked on some Langley-related issues during his time in Ottawa, notably the Roberts Bank rail corridor issue. The federal government has committed a substantial sum to build overpasses and do
other improvements along the rail line, to allow for speedy passage for trains to and from the Roberts Bank port and fewer traffic tie-ups in busy areas along the rail line in S u r r e y, Delta and Langley. “I have m o r e than a passing f a m i l i a rity with the issues here,” he said Mon- John Cummins day. “It seemed to me the best fit, to run in Langley.” Cummins will be competing for votes with BC Liberal MLA Mary Polak, who is seeking re-election. Polak is also minister of transportation. She has represented Langley in Victoria since 2005. He will also run against Andrew Mercier of the NDP, who has been conducting a grassroots door-knocking campaign since being nominated in September, 2011. Cummins said the main local issues he wants to concentrate on are tranportation and health care. He faults the BC Liberals for building highway improvements but making residents south of the Fraser pay an
undue share of the costs. “We’ve got to look at the bigger picture,” he said. “The government built a highway to Whistler for the Olympics, but puts a toll on a bridge used by commuters.” Cummins also wants to campaign on hospital improvements in Langley, so that Langley Memorial Hospital can deal with the influx of residents to the community. Cummins will be doing much of his campaigning through his campaign team volunteers, as he will be out of the riding a great deal, particularly during the election period. This week, he will be spending four days on Vancouver Island, as the party nominates candidates in several ridings there. He expects to be on the road for much of the actual election period, as the party contests seats across the province. In the 2009 election, Polak received 13,295 votes, while Kathleen Stephany of the NDP received 8,400 votes. The BC Conservatives did not run a candidate in Langley in 2009. Green Party candidate Ron Abgrall received 1,788 votes. The Langley riding includes all of Langley City, as well as the portion of the Township east of the Surrey boundary, south of 72 Avenue and Crush Crescent to 216 Street, and south of 56 Avenue to 232 Street.

Town hall meeting planned on blueberry cannons Township propane cannon task force meets with farmers and horse owners Dan Ferguson Times Reporter
A Langley Township task force has been meeting with different groups involved in the debate over blueberry cannons to prepare for a January public meeting on the issue. The propane-fired cannons are used by blueberry farmers to scare off birds that might otherwise munch their crops. The cannons can be fired from 7 a.m. to noon, and from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. during the summer. The noise has drawn complaints from homeowners who say the loud bangs are annoying, and from horse owners who say the sound spooks their animals. A town-hall style meeting has been set for Thursday, Jan. 17 at 7 p.m. in the main council chambers on the fourth floor of Langley Township city hall. A second “overflow” day has been booked for Jan. 24 in case more than one day is needed to get through the speakers’ list. The propane cannon task force was created in September after council put off a decision on changes to Township noise bylaws and the creation of a farming bylaw to
forbid the cannons as “excessive, intrusive, and inhumane” to use the words chosen by the councillor who proposed the ban, Kim Richter. While the municipality does not have the power to directly regulate the cannons under existing right-to-farm regulations, Richter said it could lobby the Provincial Ministry of Agriculture to impose a ban. On Sept. 10, council sent the matter to the municipal Agricultural Advisory Committee to investigate and report back. The committee established the task force during its Sept. 19 meeting and assigned it to meet with the berry farmers who use the propane cannons and the people who complain about them, as well as government agencies and experts. A written record of the Agricultural Committee meeting shows the task force was assigned to “explore ways to address the use of propane cannons in the Township” by researching the current situation, then make recommendations. “It’s challenging,” task force chairperson Megan Dykeman said. Dykeman told The
Times the task force has heard from a number of individuals and last month met with a representative from Horse Council British Columbia. The B.C. Sport Horse and Sport Pony Breeders Group also filed a written statement, she said.
It also plans to hear from an expert on starlings, the berry-munching birds the cannons are aimed at. Anyone interested in speaking at the town hall meeting on Jan. 17 should register at 604-5336154.
“We’ve received a lot of submissions from the horse community about the noise.” Megan Dykeman

A 21-year-old man walking home from his shift at a restaurant in Walnut Grove was jumped and beaten by two strangers on Saturday morning. According to Langley RCMP, the two suspects were also seen throwing a brick through the window of Walnut Grove Secondary. Around 2:50 a.m., the victim was walking near WGSS when two males jumped out of a silver four-door sedan and punched him in the head causing major bruising and swelling on his forehead and black eyes. The suspects went back into the vehicle and fled. The victim didn’t get a description of his attackers. Langley police say the file is still under investigation, and if anyone witnessed either of these incidents or has information about these suspects, they’re asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or, if they wish to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
“We’ve received a lot of submissions from the horse community about the noise,” Dykeman said. On Jan. 11, the task force will meet with a representative of the British Columbia Blueberry Council, which represents over 800 growers.

The man charged in a New Year’s Eve murder in Langley was no stranger to the criminal justice system. He was on probation for assaulting his mother with a knife at the time of his arrest, and currently faces charges in relation to a car crash that permanently injured two people. Jason Brewer, 24, is charged with the seconddegree murder of a man police are calling “his friend,” Cole Manning, 40. He was shot to death in a Willoughby basement suite in the early morning hours of Dec. 31, 2012. Brewer led police on a short pursuit and it took several police cars ramming his vehicle to affect his arrest. Brewer was taken down on 264 Street, near the Greater Vancouver Zoo. His next court appearance for the murder charge is Jan. 16. The following day he will be back in court for a pre-trial conference in connection with a 2009 multi-vehicle crash on Highway 10 that left two victims with life-long, serious injuries. In that incident, he is charged with two counts of criminal negligence causing bodily harm and two counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm, with the Crown alleging he deliberately drove his vehicle into oncoming traffic with the intention of killing himself. Originally, Brewer pleaded guilty to those charges. But soon after, he applied to change that plea to not guilty and take the charges to trial. In June 2012, Provincial Court Judge P.D. Gulbransen ruled in Brewer’s favour, allowing him to withdraw his guilty plea. The crash he is accused of causing occurred on Nov. 15, 2009, at about 3:20 p.m. Brewer was driving a pickup truck eastbound on Highway 10 near 192 Street. His vehicle swerved into the westbound lanes of Highway 10, Gulbransen recounted in his court ruling. Brewer’s vehicle hit an oncoming car on its front passenger side, then collided head-on with a second vehicle, a GMC Jimmy, occupied by two people. The pickup then “barrel-

The occupants in the Jimmy both suffered “devastating, permanent, life-long injuries,” noted Gulbransen. Brewer was also trapped in the truck, suffering a broken jaw and minor injuries. Charges weren’t sworn until March 2011. By then, Brewer had been on bail for charges of robbing a Mac’s store in Langley in 2009. His mom posted his $2,500 bail. Brewer’s mother took back her bail money after her son assaulted her with a knife. Brewer was found guilty of attacking his mom and was sentenced to one day in jail and 18 months probation. For the two counts of robbery in connection to the Mac’s store theft, Brewer was found guilty in July 2012, and given one day in jail, 18 months probation and a lifetime firearms ban. In reference to rescinding Brewer’s guilty plea, Gulbransen wrote: “I have struggled with this decision because of the horrific nature of the injuries to the two victims, but it is important that the court not let sympathy for the victims of a potentially callous and wanton act by Brewer to overshadow the need for justice to be done.”

Sultan shares his personal story with local seniors West Vancouver MLA paid a visit to Langley Senior Resources Centre last month Dan Ferguson Times Reporter
At 79, Ralph Sultan is still living in the North Shore home he used to share with his late wife Shirley, who passed away suddenly in 1999. A woman comes in once a month to help with the cleaning, but Sultan says he knows there will come a time when he will have to downsize and leave more than 40 years of memories behind. “At some time I’ve got to face up to leaving,” Sultan, the recently-appointed Minister of State for Seniors, told an audience of about 30 people at the Langley Seniors Centre last month. The former Harvard professor, father of four and grandfather of four, was making a point about his own understanding of seniors’ issues. He went on to describe how his increasingly frail sister Doris recently had to be transferred from her four-bedroom home with its sunken living room to a less physically challenging special care facility. And he joked about his own occasional abse n t -m in d e d n e s s as he nears his 80th birthday. “I couldn’t find my keys the other day,” Sultan said. “How did that happen?” Sultan, the Liberal MLA for West Vancouver-Capilano, appeared at the centre with Langley MLA
Mary Polak, the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, to speak about Liberal government initiatives designed to help improve the lives of seniors in British Columbia. He talked about the “better at home” policy that provides at-home support for seniors. “The government strategy is to keep them at home as long as possible,” Sultan said. While some seniors like himself are able to consider downsizing to something like a townhouse at some point, that option isn’t available to all, Sultan noted. “Housing of that sort is in very short supply and often very expensive,” Sultan said. He defended the Liberal record on seniors’ issues, saying the government has created six times as many beds for seniors who require institutional care than the previous government. The minister of state referred to plans to create a B.C. seniors’ advocate without giving many details other than saying the office would be created early in the new years.

M
any eyes will be on Langley in this May’s provincial election, with confirmation from BC Conservative Party leader John Cummins that he plans to run in the riding now held by BC Liberal MLA Mary Polak. Cummins told The Times last September that he would likely run in the riding, and confirmed it last week. He lives in the riding and also lived and taught school in Langley years ago. He has worked on several Langley-related issues while he was the MP for Delta, notably those dealing with rail traffic to Roberts Bank through Langley, and the need to provide good transportation alternatives so that drivers don’t get stuck waiting for trains to cross busy roads. Last September, the BC Conservatives were in a stronger position, as far as public opinion polls went. There is no doubt that some of those who were polled were parking their votes with the Conservatives, and when a number of controversies arose, they decamped. However, the BC Conservatives cannot be ruled out. While the party will have trouble electing a significant number (or perhaps any) MLAs, it will most definitely be a spoiler. That’s why Cummins’ entry into the race for the Langley seat is so interesting. If he manages to take enough votes away from Polak, the NDP’s Andrew Mercier will have a decent shot at winning the seat. The NDP have gained strength in Langley in every provincial and federal election over the past 10 years, and the demographics of the Langley riding are much more favourable to them than the demographics of Fort Langley-Aldergrove, the other provincial seat here. Polak has been a strong minister and capable MLA. In her current role as minister of transportation, she is responsible for issues that directly affect Langley residents. Cummins aims to base his local campaign on transportation issues, as he feels the BC Liberals have not done enough to keep South Fraser residents from paying more than their share for needed transportation improvements. His disadvantage is that he will not be able to campaign a great deal in the riding, as he must spend much of his time touring the province — particularly during the campaign. He will need a strong local campaign team to ensure that his message gets out to voters in Langley.

ll year long they came to the rescue. Lost dogs, wayward snowboarders, hurt hikers and mountain bikers or ill-prepared backcountry enthusiasts — you name it. North Shore Rescue responded to a steady torrent of calls for help in 2012. And the specially trained crews did so 24/7, 365. There are no days off for this crew. Sometimes they must forsake birthdays, anniversary dinners and elementary school Christmas plays because they’ve been called out to save others. They don’t do it for the accolades. Or the paycheque. This is a volunteer outfit that gives up countless hours on training exercises and rescue missions. It’s just what they do. And now, we have an opportunity to thank them for their selfless, risky and heroic work. The rescue team is moving into new digs this January — a $1.4-million facility funded by the three North Shore municipalities, the Charros Foundation and NSR — but they still need a few things. The list includes an Indoor Rescue Catwalk to use for training, some administrative stuff like computers and tables and an industrial washer to maintain their equipment. Total cost is around $70,000 and they’re offering tax receipts for donations over $20. In its long history, NSR has never charged for a rescue because they feel if people are concerned about possible charges, they may put themselves in even greater danger. So community donations can go a long way towards funding the team’s rescue efforts. So if you can help, go to their website (northshorerescue.com) to find out how to donate. At the very least, make a New Year’s resolution to stay in bounds and to be well prepared when you venture off into the mountains (for tips, go to the NSR website). —North Shore Outlook The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Langley Times
Editor: Regarding the green bin program in the City of Langley and Rae-Lynne Dicks’ (The Times, Jan. 3) letter to the editor. I have been a backyard composter for 32 years and for decades have used bi-weekly garbage pick up. I was anticipating a green waste program which included the delivery of a wheeled green bin, a kitchen catcher with compostable liners and a choice of garbage can sizes that would allow me to reduce the garbage fee on my property taxes. For example, the City of Victoria gave their single-family residential property taxpayers options on the size of their garbage cans, $168 for 80 litres, $183 for 120 litres and $204 for 180 litres. Many municipalities paid for the bins with reserve funds, and decreased tipping fees due to bi-weekly garbage collection. North Vancouver provides a backyard composting program which includes (www.northshorerecycles.ca) information on composter sales, composting 101, worm composting, sheet mulching and composting coaching, meaning a staffer comes to your residence and assists you with your composting needs.
We have great staff working for the City of Langley and all of these programs could have been implemented, but the City of Langley has a contract with a garbage company who has refused to upgrade their vehicles to accommodate wheeled bins. Instead the costs (new bins) have been passed onto the homeowners, with no corresponding decrease to our property taxes or comprehensive backyard composting program. Further research, including speaking to Metro Vancouver waste management, revealed that a U.S. company called Harvest Power owns and operates the Fraser Richmond soil and fibre plant, which is where the green waste is composted. The composting generates gas which in turn generates electricity that is sold to B.C. Hydro. The composted material is sold to a company called The Answer Garden Products in Abbotsford. This is where homeowners can buy back their green waste for $30/cubic metre. My concern is that other municipalities have been able to offer rewards to their
property owners, thereby helping to ensure a level of compliance. But there are no rewards for single family homeowners and property taxpayers in the City of Langley. There are no free bins, no reduced property taxes, no B.C. Hydro rebate, no backyard composting program, no how to make a newspaper liner for the kitchen catcher, not even a free bag of lawn compost. In closing, the City of Langley has won awards for its Master Plans and beautiful gardens. We can do better and the City can do better. It begins by cancelling the contract with a garbage company which has failed to meet the standards for green waste in 2013. Their failure to upgrade has decreased the impact the homeowners of Langley could have had on the City of Langley’s carbon and environmental footprints. One final sidebar. To every resident who has had their garbage can lids go missing, your lids and at least four of mine have gone to the landfill, where they will never bother a garbage collector again. Marie Phillips, Langley
Editor: The NHL has sunk to gutter lows with its incurable contagious greed which is indefensibly shameful and despicable. Fighting like rabid pigs in a trough, the league and players battle over billions and pensions instead of showing sportsmanship, class, heart, charity and professionalism. Let’s be frank — no athlete, musician, artist, actor, director, etc. is worth the sinful wages they get while holding us hostage so they can live like kings. Turn back the clock to the days of the true legends of NHL. Eddie Giacomin, Jacques Plante, Phil Esposito, Bobby Clarke, Terry Sawchuk, Stan Mikita, Dave Keon and others were heroic role models with class. They would never think of striking to spit on the fans and collateral businesses. Since the days of Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier and others, there is the sickness of selfish overpaid clowns in the last 27 years. Many strikers are whiners, show unsportmanship conduct, are greedy and unionized. This amplifies the sins of sports and the bad image they give fans and aspiring athletes.
Fans are brainlessly forgiving instead of teaching these parasites a lesson by boycotting games to watch them at home. That would bring these leeches off Cloud 9. The salaries should have been capped decades ago, as nobody is worth $2 million a year, whether they play well or flop. The top player should make $700,000 — and that is excessive. If we culled their greed, you could trim down ticket prices and other costs. If they had a moral compass, they would give $1 billion to charities and still have lots. Maybe U.S. President Barack Obama and other leaders need to hammer them more with taxes, as with banks, auto giants and others. When is enough, enough? To unionize sports is the same as to unionize tradespeople, who make far more than they are worth, only to enable them to overcharge the public. You can see the insane money trades make locally and in the oil sectors. Like the NHL, we need to cap wages in all sectors — including public servants. Professional athletes should not be unionized nor have pensions, etc. If they cannot
manage their assets to pay their own medical, dental and retirement years, they are doing something wrong. If you ever watch shows like MTV Cribs, you’ll see rich fools flaunting their wealth. Don’t tell me they cannot afford to pay for their own dental work, prescriptions and save for their retirement, and live like kings? Maybe they need lessons in manners, social grace and modesty from classic legends like Tony Esposito, Cesare Maniago, Bobby Orr or Serge Savard and others. Too many zeroes now play in pro sports, and many idolize them instead of seeing them as they are — pathetic greedy whiners who know no limits. There are too many fat cats, it’s time to make them leaner. Hopefully the fan base will dwindle, but we are a bleeding heart society and will soon forget their wicked deeds. How many businesses suffered from the collateral damage? None of these overpaid fools have a conscience or dignity. Lasik Trumann, Langley
NHL players and owners are far too greedy
RCMP officers were professional, courteous Editor: There is a lot of bad press about the RCMP these days, and I thought it important to take the time to give feedback on the role the RCMP played in the recent Langley homicide incident on Dec. 31. The Langley team was extremely impressive in the way that they handled this incident with dignity and respect. On an evening when, I am sure, they would rather be attending New Year’s celebrations, they The
kept a lonely vigil over the premises and the remains of the individual involved. They were sentinels in the dark hours of the night, ensuring the site or individual would not be compromised in any way. Their communication with everyone in the neighbourhood was professional and respectful, and their presence made us feel safe in the midst of such a tragedy. There is a small measure of comfort in
knowing, that one’s final remains are respectfully treated and handled with dignity, because we all have lived once, and that matters to someone. I commend all members of this team in the care and handling of this situation, and would like to recognize the excellence of their service to the community.

Fans Ignored Editor: So you have to ask yourself “do I really care if the NHL comes back this season?” I have felt like a kid stuck in a divorce battle between Mom and Dad. Each one was claiming that the other was wrong and has been cheated. One day Dad said something to me, the next Mom came and whispered in my ear. I’ve been pulled in two different directions. Who is right, who is wrong? Who really does love me more? The owners and the NHLPA were losing money. Last week, each side realized that the other side was not going to give in. A condensed shinny season is planned. It seems more like they need to make a few bucks. “Let’s play 40 games of crappy hockey and get fans to pay to watch it,” is the attitude. No, I don’t think so. I’m not buying into this. The fans have been let down yet again. Each year we as fans pay too much for tickets, too much for parking and way too much for a beer. God help us if our kid wants a player’s team jersey to wear. Yet, like sheep to the slaughter, thousands of fans will give in. Let’s tell the owners and the PA we spoke to our lawyer, and our counsel has advised us not to sign back up for this season. Let’s stick it right back to them and ask the owners and the PA what do we get out of this? Will there be free beer at every one of these games? Will they be handing out free jerseys to our kids? Probably not, so I say “have a nice day.” Let them know what you think — http:// www.nhl.com/ice/feedback.htm. Rob Gaw, Langley

Among the species of birds spotted in Langley during the annual bird count were, clockwise from top: golden crowned kinglet, northern saw whet owl and barred owl.
New Year’s bird count encounters 68 species More than 6,500 feathered friends spotted on annual outing
B
irders were out in full force on New Year’s Eve in Langley, counting 68 species of birds, (up from 62 last year) and 6,557 birds in total. At the end of the day, Langley’s results were combined with the whole of the Surrey, White-Rock, Langley area for a total of 128 species counted at this year’s Christmas bird count. The Audubon Christmas
Bird Count has taken place each year since 1900 to provide information about ongoing changes in bird populations. Today, more than 60,000 birders take part in 2,000 counts across North America. In Langley, the Langley Field Naturalists had five teams ranging in age from two enthusiastic teenagers to experienced seniors, said LFN Kathy Masse.
The Langley teams enjoyed a fabulous day of counting all over the area — with teams reporting lots of dark-eyed juncos as well as soaring noisy waves of Pine Siskin’s and Canada geese flocking overhead. One team found three owls; another recorded an Anna’s hummingbird (which are moving into the area) plus many raptors gliding over farmers’ fields, said Masse.

wire in one area and sell it in a city where it either wasn’t regulated or local rules were poorly enforced. In the past, some dealers have paid cash without getting any ID from “salvagers” – even ones bringing in everything from street drain covers and traffic lights to metal grave markers and whole phone booths. “There’s more to be done, but the legislation is certainly doing its part,” Hall said. “It makes it difficult for those bad apples in the scrap industry to continue knowingly buying stolen material.” Hall also credits police for taking metal theft seriously, but added he’s hopeful the problem doesn’t escalate again after some recently jailed chronic offenders are released. Telus lost $16 million to metal theft last year and Hall noted service outages also leave residents without 911 emergency calling and cost small businesses sales when they can’t process credit and debit cards. BC Hydro has also reported a more than 50 per cent drop in copper wire theft since July. So far 64 of the 76 identified metal dealers or recyclers have registered — as

required under the new law — and the rest must do so by Jan. 26. Provincial inspectors have met with all operators and performed the first periodic spot checks of most of them to ensure they comply with the new rules. A Richmond metal dealer became the first in the province to be issued a $575 ticket under the new law for buying stolen metal – storm drain covers pilfered from Vancouver streets. If offending dealers don’t shape up after inspectors hit them with violation tickets, authorities can also seek charges under the act – the maximum penalties are fines of up to $100,000 for a business and six months in jail for an individual. “It’s important that this industry is regulated and our inspectors will continue to inspect metal dealers and monitor the industry to ensure compliance,” Justice Minister Shirley Bond said. Critics in the recycling industry say there should be more emphasis on police pursuing thieves rather than adding to their paperwork. They also say some police forces are not yet fully prepared to receive daily electronic logs of buyers.

Canadian Oil Sands – Canada’s Energy Advantage With special guest presenter:
Don Thompson
Executive Advisor, Sustainability and Oil Sands Outreach Canada has the third largest oil reserves in the world behind Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. Of these reserves, 97 per cent are found in the oil sands. As we move forward developing this resource, we must continue to work to achieve the balance between economic contribution, environmental sustainability and energy security. Since Don Thompson started his career in the oil sands 33 years ago, there have been many advancements in technology which have moved the oil sands from a curiosity to a cornerstone of energy security and the economy. According to the Canadian Energy Research Institute, 905,000 jobs will come to be linked to the oil sands by 2035 as a result of its ongoing development. The oil sands will make this significant contribution by creating supply chain and employment opportunities across the continent in addition to direct employment within the industry. The oil sands industry has also focused on continuous improvement in the areas of emissions and water management, land reclamation and environmental monitoring towards reducing its environmental footprint. The International Energy Agency forecasts global energy demand to increase by 47 per cent by 2035 and the oil sands will play a critical role in meeting that demand and contributing to Canada’s and North America’s energy security. ■ Networking: 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm (Dinner)

irst of all I have some very good news about our resolution concerning navigation and maintenance of the Fraser River. We have been advised that the recommendations we presented to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce prior to the AGM in Hamilton earlier this year, were passed unanimously by the Board and they will now form part of the Canadian Chamber’s presentation to the Federal Government. In an email, the Honorable Perrin Beatty said “This is an excellent example of how hard-working local chambers can bring important regional issues onto the national agenda”. This is great news for our region and another big win for BC - we will keep you advised of the progress.
campaign and the events will be distributed within the next few weeks.
Our Advocacy Committee is working on positions concerning Reinstatement of the Business Vote and Taxation. We have recently sent out a very brief survey to our members to try to better understand the various levels of taxes business must pay, and to determine which have the most negative impact on business. The results of the survey will assist us to prepare submissions to the various levels of government with regards to business taxation and regulations.
of the importance of the election process and to assist our members to engage in discussions with employees to encourage them to exercise their vote. We need to take part in the election process by educating our staff and colleagues about the importance of the vote and what government means to your business, their jobs and the health of our province. The business community cannot participate in the apathy, we have got to do everything we can to be part of the solution and by doing nothing, not talking about the real election issues, and we are part of the problem. Regardless of your politics, I am looking forward to launching this campaign and increasing educated voter turnout in May, it’s so vitally important to all of us.
Voter apathy is a huge concern for this Chamber and at all levels of government. In preparation for the 2013 Provincial Election the Chamber will be creating a campaign to raise the awareness
And, in anticipation of the election, we are also planning meetings and forums to provide opportunities for our members and citizens to meet with the candidate. Details about this
During December, representatives of the Board and our membership along with other business representatives from throughout the Fraser Valley participated in a Prosperity Summit hosted jointly by the BC Chamber and Business Council of BC. The purpose for the discussions was to begin a new dialogue on the importance of economic growth for communities and individuals. Seven such summits were hosted throughout the Province and the feedback received during the sessions will feed into a significant event being held in Vancouver in early 2013, and will form the basis of direction to elected officials. As a local retailer, I am confident that I speak on behalf of other area businesses when I express my gratitude to chamber colleagues and Langley residents who support us and shop locally. For many, a robust holiday shopping season is what keeps the doors open and our staff employed during the leaner months that follow. Thank you for thinking about where you shop, it really means a lot to our community & the people in it.Angie Quaale, President

Secretary of State for Small Business Hon. Naomi Yamamoto says 100,000 businesses will need to register, and that many will be collecting the tax for the first time. The PST taxation rate will be seven per cent on most goods and services bought and sold in BC, but alcohol, accommodation, and the sale of some vehicles, boats and planes will be taxed at higher rates. The GST taxation rate will be five
per cent, where it applies. BC businesses need to ensure that they are informed and prepared to return to the PST as a recent poll by the BC Chamber has indicated that 63% of BC businesses are not prepared for the transition, and 62% are not aware of the changes that have been made to the PST. The provincial government has set up www. pstinbc.ca to provide information to businesses. There are many resources available such as webinars and free consultations. Additionally, the BC Chamber has a short overview and resource page available online at www.bcchamber.org

Is Your Business Normal? Resist being normal and be remarkable this year! by Owen Greaves ~ owengreaves.com
I
attended a seminar recently that got me to thinking, nothing earth shattering, but it might be to you. If you’re an entrepreneur or business owner, we tend to make one big mistake, and it’s a simple thought to keep in mind: We only accomplish what we aim for.
If that’s true, there needs to be more don’t you think? We accomplish one goal but don’t set a goal beyond the first one, a sure fired way to fade off into obscurity. Another area I was contemplating on was sales, leads, or seeds. I’ve learned the more seeds you throw or plant, the bigger the harvest. Are you throwing lots of seeds? Not selling, sharing or suggesting solutions … it’s word of mouth marketing.

Keeping things simple is best, because simple is hard enough. Two questions I like to ask business owners/entrepreneurs are: 1.) What business are you in? 2.) How’s business? Not very complicated is it, but let’s be honest, there
are many businesses that don’t really know what business they are in. If you can’t articulate this in a short easy to memorize sentence, you have some work to do. Knowing what business you’re in should be addressed immediately, before trying to measure the second question. Because if you don’t know #1, #2 doesn’t matter, the answer will most likely already be known. It’s really a vision and mission statement thing: the vision says where you’re going and the mission tells how you’re going to do it. If you’re doing business as usual and normal, you’re probably finding no one follows normal anymore. So, ask yourself if your business is normal, if you answer yes, then make it your mission to be business as unusual. Because if you don’t, you most likely will be ignored, maybe even considered obsolete. Being normal means you’re not interesting, you’re not making an impact or not shipping regularly. Consider a 3rd question: if your business closed its doors today, would anyone miss it? Resist being normal and be remarkable. Be the type of business that a business person will talk about in a positive way, in a way that keeps them coming back or asking your advice.

Major
a undertaking Artist Bernie Major’s 42-piece solo show runs to Feb. 28 Brenda anderson Times Reporter
L
angley painter Bernard Major is inviting audiences on a journey around the world — and one the perks of his tour is that can be done on a post-Christmas budget, without leaving Langley. Major’s upcoming exhibit, titled Home and Abroad — presented by the Langley Arts Council — will hang inside Township of Langley Civic Building from Jan. 11 to Feb. 28. Major, a relatively new member of the LAC, admitted he was a little taken aback by the sheer amount of wall space he would be required to cover over two floors inside Township Hall, but a search through his studio turned up 42 paintings which he will hang on both the second and fourth floors of the building. The vast majority are works done in oil and all but one were completed before he was awarded the show. “It’s a lot of work, but I’m enjoying it,” said the artist who works out of a converted barn on his South Langley property. He regularly has several other local painters (known collectively as the Artists of Bernie’s Barn) over to work in the studio, but for this show, he is going solo — for just the fourth time in his career. Although the show is titled Home and Abroad, there is a heavy emphasis on the latter, he explained, with the vast majority of the paintings depicting his travels to Egypt, Venice, the Caribbean and England. “Those four themes make up the bulk of the work. There’s also a large abstract in there, which I don’t do often,” he said. The two new paintings — one of a Merritt, B.C. ranch scene and a Christmasy watercolour of his studio/ barn — comprise the “home” portion of the exhibit. One of his Caribbean pieces, titled Where is My Purse? has been sold to a
woman from Illinois who saw her own grandmother in Major’s subject, but it will be a part of the exhibit, nonetheless. “She agreed to leave it here until after the show, which was nice of her because I’d already done the brochure (which features the painting),” Major laughed. The artist recently returned from a trip to China, where he was struck by the dichotomy of the country — a place where past and future co-exist in rather jarring fashion. The large cities, like Shanghai, are incredibly modern and progressive, he said, while in the countryside farmers are still using oxen to pull plows. Major plans to recreate scenes from his latest travels, but for that project he will step away from his traditional oils. “I just got the urge to do a series of watercolours and see how it works out,” he said. “With watercolours you can get a really strong contrast, but at the same time, it’s delicate. The light bounces through the paper and comes back at you.” Those pieces won’t be done in time for the Township Hall exhibit, but Major is encouraging people to come out and view the works that will be on display for nearly seven weeks. The venue is surprisingly good, considering its not technically a gallery, he noted. “I don’t know who thought of it, but it’s a really fantastic place for an art show. It’s easy to hang paintings and get them positioned nicely. And the lighting’s not bad either. Still, the fact his show is being held in the civic facility underscores the need for a dedicated public display space, said Major. It’s good the space exists, he said, “because otherwise where do you go to see original art? This (LAC initiative) might be something that leads to an exhibit space.” The Township of Langley Municipal Building is located at 20338 65 Ave. An opening reception will be held on Friday, Jan. 11 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Willowbrook Shopping Centre. The exhibit features eight life-sized horse sculptures that have been transformed from plain white structures into colourful works of art. It is all part of a year-long public art initiative to raise awareness and funds for the arts in Langley. “What’s neat about all of them is that every single one of them is unique,” said LAC president Rosemary Wallace, who co-painted a colt with Lalita Hamill for the project. “When we first got them they were just white horses, but now that they’re painted, they are pretty cool,” said Wallace. By blending the agricultural, arts and cultural communities of Langley, the project is meant to reflect Langley’s heritage and its role as the Horse Capital of B.C. Each horse requires a sponsorship of $10,000 to complete, and the Langley Arts Council is still seeking sponsors, Wallace added. A few of the horses have only been partly funded so far.
Left: ‘Colour Me Beautiful’ by artist Louise Swan.
“For the other artists it was a challenge for them because it wasn’t painting on a canvas, so the curves of the horse had to lend itself to the painting,” Wallace said. “I think they were frustrated at the beginning, but they were excited with the end result.” While the exhibit is at Willowbrook, there are also several equine activities shoppers can participate in. As part of the Horsing Around contest, shoppers can enter to win a $1,000 Horsing Around Langley activity package which includes horse riding lessons, dining, entertainment and shopping. On Jan. 19, the mall is hosting a Horsing Around Kid’s Party from 1 to 4 p.m. for kids ages 3 to 13. It is a free party with horse games, crafts, activities and entertainment. Attendance is limited, so advanced registration is recommended by calling 604-530-4492 or visiting Willowbrook’s Customer Service. Then on Jan. 26 and Feb. 2 from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. the public is invited to meet the Horsing Around Langley artists Marilyn Dryer Siedel, Vivian Harder, Felicity Holmes, Glenda Mantle, Jeanie Shilton, Louise Swan, Becky Wallace, and Rosemary Wallace.

KPU, LCMS present concert of ‘New and Improved’ music Brenda anderson Times Reporter
Kwantlen Polytechnic University and Langley Community Music School faculty are once again getting set to welcome the New Year by joining forces to conduct afternoon masterclasses for students, before capping off the day with a free public concert in the evening. KPU and LCMS will present New and Improved: Stolen Works for Flute, Strings and Piano, featuring Paolo Bortolussi (flute), Nikita Pogrebnoy (viola), Joel Stobbe (cello), and Jane Hayes (piano) on Saturday, Jan. 12 at the music school in City Park. The concert program features masterworks by Faure, Saint-Saens, Dvorak, and Martinu. And with the addition of the Russian-born Pogrebnoy to Kwantlen’s music faculty, this is the first time, the group is able to include a viola in the quartet, which will play Gabriel Faure’s piano Quartet #1, Op. 15 (performed for the first time with flute). Completing the program is Bohuslav Martinu’s charming Trio for Flute, Cello and Piano. In keeping with last January’s program, Bortolussi and Hayes continue the theme of burgled romantic violin repertoire, with
Paolo Bortolussi Camille Saint-Saens’ famous violin showpiece Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso. Bortolussi first heard the piece as a music student, and was immediately struck by it. “I thought it was an amazing piece. I bought a recording and I’ve been listening to it ever since, he said. “I’ve had a long-term infatuation with the piece. This is a chance to see if it works with flute.” Prior to last year’s con-
cert, Bortolussi explained that during the 19th century, “there was a big hole in flute repertoire. “It was a fashionable parlour instrument but it didn’t make it into the major works, because none of the big composers were writing for flute at the time,” he said. With a dearth of romanticera repertoire composed for the flute, the musician has taken to “stealing” pieces written for the violin and reconfiguring them. The process is not a complex one, so much as a continuing one, he explained. Because the two instruments have a similar range, the notes themselves are fairly transcribable, he said. But because a violin has four strings and a flute only one tube, Bortolussi cannot play multiple notes at once and must choose. Some, he can pass along to the cello, others can be dropped or picked up by other instruments, he explained. Another challenge he faces is “pizzicato” — the plucking of strings. On flute, the closest he can come is play short, quick notes to create a similar effect. All four musicians are educators as well as performers, and have given masterclasses and clinics at universities and music schools across Canada and abroad. As part of its residency
at the Langley Community Music School, the ensemble will be leading student performance masterclasses from 2 p.m. 4 p.m. on Jan 12, these classes are also free and are open to the public. While the Kwantlen instructors — Bortolussi, Pogrebnoy and Hayes — conduct the LCMS master classes, Stobbe, who teaches at the community music school, will offer a lecture to Kwantlen music students. Part of the reason for the day’s instruction and the evening performance is to let students know that there is a practical, and financially viable local route to a postsecondary music education, said Bortolussi. “We’re showing students they can stay in Langley.” With the introduction of a bachelor of music degree, not to mention the presence of a Borealis String Quartet member (Pogrebnoy) now on faculty at Kwantlen, the Langley campus of the university offers an environment where young musicians can thrive, he said. For more information about the Jan. 12 event, contact the Langley Community Music School at 604-5342848. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. and admission is free.

Kodiaks keep winning The change in the calendar has done little to slow the Aldergrove Kodiaks. After the junior B hockey club won their final seven games of 2012, they have continued their white-hot play, winning the first two contests of 2013 to stretch their winning streak to nine games. The most recent victories came last week in a pair of one-goal decisions: 2-1 over the North Vancouver Wolf Pack on Jan. 2 at the Aldergrove Arena and then on Jan. 4, Mark Menicucci made 25 saves while Scott McHaffie had the lone goal in a 1-0 victory over the host
board Meeting
Abbotsford Pilots. That game was at MSA Arena. The Kodiaks (19-11-1-0, 39 points) are seven points back of the first place Pilots. Aldergrove does have one game in hand. Against the Wolf Pack, Menicucci had another solid game, stopping 34 of the 35 shots he faced. Roshen Jaswal and Ryan Simpson scored for Aldergrove, while Taylor Tanti had the lone North Vancouver goal. Aldergrove will look to extend their winning streak to double digits when they host the Grandview Steelers on Jan. 9. Puck drop is 7:15 p.m.

Langley A4 Eagles’ Colton Wellburn fights for the puck along the boards against the Victoria Grizzlies at the George Preston Recreation Centre on Dec. 28. The Eagles finished third out of six teams at the Langley Minor Hockey Association Peewee Winter Classic tournament.
