City happy, but residents still have questions

Sliding Her day away

Some citizens unhappy with changes to composting and garbage pickup Brenda anderson Times Reporter

Stabbing victim clinging to life Still no suspect in brutal Aldergrove stabbing Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

A 55-year-old Aldergrove man who was brutally stabbed and found bleeding in the 27000 block of Fraser Highway on Sunday is clinging to life. Langley RCMP are working diligently to identify a suspect or

suspects involved in the attack and are asking the public for help. The victim was known to move about the Aldergrove area on a white mountain bike, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Const. Craig van Herk. If you have seen anyone riding a white bike in the Aldergrove area last weekend or have information about anyone he was seen with or about the crime contact police, said van Herk. “It’s a pretty distinctive bike so we are hoping someone saw him,” said

van Herk. Langley’s serious crime unit and general duty officers are working hard and walking downtown Aldergrove trying to find suspects. “This is not gang-related. It doesn’t appear to be tied to any sort of gang activity. It’s a fairly complex investigation and it is hard to know at this time what the motive was,” he said. If you have any information call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or if you wish to remain anonymous call Crimstoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Just over two weeks have passed since the City of Langley made its transition to organic green waste recycling and bi-weekly garbage pickup, and so far, staff are happy with the process. However, the changeover, which began on Jan. 2, has left some residents questioning the municipality’s procedures. Through calls to City Hall and letters to the editor, a few residents have expressed displeasure over the reduction in their trash pick-up schedule from once a week to every second week — calling it a drop in service without an accompanying drop in taxes. They’ve also pointed to the City’s failure to provide extra large garbage containers as some other municipalities — including Surrey — have done to compensate for the reduced pick-up. The City of Surrey has in fact supplied residents with large garbage totes — 300,000 were purchased at a cost of $15 million, City engineer Gary Vlieg told council on Monday, as he addressed the most frequently asked questions staff have handled. The cost of the totes is being passed along to Surrey residents at a rate of $5 per household per year, he added. The difference, Vlieg said, is that Surrey has automated pick-up, whereas in Langley garbage is still hoisted into trucks by hand. “As I understand it, it’s a safety issue,” said Mayor Peter Fassbender, adding that WorkSafe B.C. limits the size of can that a worker is permitted to lift. And full automation is not an option for Langley City in the near future, because the municipality recently signed another two-year contract with its current garbage/recycling collector, Emterra. Councillor Dave Hall asked whether, when the City renegotiates its garbage contract, it would be possible to go to a system where residents can select smaller or larger garbage cans and pay accordingly. “All options will be examined,” said Vlieg. continued, PAGE 6

Residents eager for plan input Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

More than 300 people attended the first of two public open houses on the Brookswood/Fernridge Community Plan Tuesday night, more than 50 per cent higher than the 200 expected by Township of Langley organizers. At one point, the meeting ran out of questionnaires, but Township staffers were able to print out more. The questionnaires asked residents to choose one of three approaches to housing in the area; a standard subdivision, a neighbourhood with “enhanced centres” and a third option that concentrates growth around the centres and major roads, and includes a new commercial centre at 32 Avenue. Residents were also asked if they support “the addition of light industrial or other employment use in southwest Brookswood/Fernridge to generate local employment.” The three proposals were generated from well-attended public consultation workshops that were held in October. Even more people are expected to attend the second meeting in the small gym at Brookswood Secondary on Saturday, Jan. 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The open houses are also seeking feed-

Stormwater Management Plan.

Davis said the allowance amounts to another pay hike, less than a year after the mayor’s annual salary went up by 12.6 per cent and councillor pay rates rose by 19 per cent following several years of no raises. “You can call it what you want,” Davis said. “A car allowance, a travel allowance, it’s a raise.” Richter and Davis also called on council to hire an outside tax expert to review the decision to implement a travel allowance when council members already get a third of their income tax-free to help cover expenses. “My concern is, are we seen to be doubledipping if we do both?” Richter said. The proposal to have the allowance reviewed by an outside expert failed on a tie vote, with Richter, Davis, Sparrow and Fox in favour, while Mayor Froese and Councillors Dornan, Ferguson, and Ward were opposed. Councillor Bob Long was absent. The vote on eliminating the allowance wasn’t as close, with Mayor Froese and Councillors Dornan, Ferguson, Fox, Sparrow and Ward voting no, while only Richter and Davis were in favour. Ward said the allowance was recommended by an independent task force set up to find a fair way of compensating Township councillors. “If they say that we should (have a travel allowance), then I’m going to take their

advice and carry on,” Ward said. Ward complained that Richter was trying to “throw council under the bus” by resurrecting the compensation debate. Councillor Ferguson said Township residents shouldn’t think their council is excessively well-paid compared to other municipal councils. “We aren’t the highest paid folks,” Ferguson said. “We are about in the middle of the pack.” The issue will be raised again at the next meeting of council. Richter served notice she will call on council to agree that members should receive either the travel allowance or the tax-free expense allowance, but not both. A Revenue Canada interpretation bulletin issued in 1976 (IT-292) states elected municipal officials can avoid paying taxes on up to a third of their annual salary by declaring it to be an “expense allowance” which includes “mileage or other traveling allowance.” The $340 a month travel allowance adds $4,080 to a councilor’s annual salary of $42,936, an increase of 9.5 per cent. The mayor’s proposed travel allowance would have added $10,200 on top of his salary of $105,456, an increase of 9.7 per cent. A staff memo to council notes the travel allowance is a taxable benefit that will be reported on a councillor’s T4.

Travel allowance remains hot topic

Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

The battle over a controversial travel allowance for Langley Township councillors was reopened Monday when Councillors Kim Richter and David Davis tried to convince the rest of council to cancel it, or at least have the whole idea reviewed by a tax expert. Most members of council have opted out, with Mayor Jack Froese declining his $850 a month allowance and Richter, Davis, Charlie Fox, Bob Long and Michelle Sparrow turning down their $340 a month allowance. Sparrow did not disclose her decision until Monday night, when she was asked by The Times. “I choose at this time not to accept the the travel allowance,” Sparrow said. “It’s unfortunate that it’s become a chance to gain political points.” Councillors Bev Dornan, Steve Ferguson and Grant Ward have accepted the allowance, and Ferguson has said he will donate the money to charity. Richter, with support from Davis, called on council to do away with the allowance altogether. “If a majority of council isn’t taking it, why do we even have it?” Richter asked. “It doesn’t make sense.”

WOLF deal is now dead The fate of the 25 acres of Township-owned land in Glen Valley will likely be decided on Jan. 21. Whatever the council decision is, it will almost certainly not involve a deal to sell McLellan forest to the newly-formed Watchers of Langley Forests (WOLF), a group of residents trying to prevent a purchase by developers. According to a written record of a Dec. 10 closed-door meeting, council “… acknowledged that the contract with WOLF for the purchase of Glen Valley lots has lapsed …” That was the same day a delegation from WOLF came to council to plead for more time to find $3 million to buy the land from the Township. Mayor Jack Froese said while there is nothing to prevent the residents from making another approach to council, they did not meet a number of precondition for the deal to proceed. “It’s dead,” Froese said. The debate on what to do next has been delayed until Councillor Bob Long returns from holidays so a full council can make the call, Froese said. “At this point no decision has been made.” The money from the sale of the land located near 84 Avenue and 260 Street is earmarked for a new community centre, swimming pool and ice rink at the Aldergrove Elementary School site.

Idle No More plans local rally It appears the Idle No More movement is coming to Langley this Saturday ( Jan. 19) at Willowbrook Shopping Centre. A “peaceful protest” is scheduled for 1 p.m. in support of Chief Theresa Spence’s hunger strike and calling for the repeal of Bill C-45, says a poster found on Facebook. The poster asks participants to wear their regalia, bring drums and be respectful. For the past couple of weeks, Idle No More protests have brought out hundreds to various locations in Vancouver.

Dorscie Paterson will celebrate a century of life on Jan. 25 Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

“I just got out the Old English polish and I’m going to be dusting, so knock loud so I don’t miss you,” said 99-yearold Dorscie Paterson last Wednesday. Nailing down a day to interview this busy senior is a challenge. The Langley Hospice volunteer always has something on the go. On the upcoming Robbie Burns Day ( Jan. 25), Paterson will turn 100 years old. Haggis is not likely on the menu, she laughed. The retired teacher still gets ID’d, but at this time in her life it’s from people doubting that this spry senior is really nearly 100. As for becoming a centenarian, she dismisses the hoopla. “It’s just a number,” she said with a wave of the hand. “I went for my physical for my driver’s licence last week and my doctor said the Motor Vehicle Branch is probably going to think you bribed me,” she said with a hearty laugh. “I feel good.” It was just a few years ago, at 97, that she went horseback riding with her granddaughter and great-granddaughter in the Interior. A framed picture of the outing hangs in her hallway. So how do you celebrate 100 years on this Earth? “I haven’t planned a thing,” said Paterson. “I’ll leave that to my family.” She did buy herself a new

riding mower in October and, yes, she plans to mow her huge lawn herself. “Of course. Why wouldn’t I?” she said. Perhaps the secret to a long, healthy life is her “can-do” attitude. She thinks a key ingredient is “keeping busy.” “Not busy doing housework but busy being productive. Each day learn something. Do different things, help your fellow man,” she said. Judging from all the awards of appreciation and certificates of thanks for her volunteering, it’s obvious helping others and giving of her time is a key component to who Paterson is. Every week for the past 31 years, she can be found volunteering at the Langley Hospice, offering support and care for dying patients and their families. She is one of the founding members of hospice in Langley and fought hard to get the society where it is today. She is active on both Langley Hospice boards. When you ask people about Dorscie Paterson, they respond that she is “a doer.” She is a firecracker, with a positive attitude and a passion for people. She has more awards and medals than she has wall space for, in her quaint acreage home which is located near the new development in Willoughby. When she turns 100, she will be adding another certificate from the Queen to her

wall. Last March, she received the Women of Excellence award from the International Women’s Day committee, for all the volunteering she does. She has also received the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award in Victoria in recognition of all her charity work. There’s also several awards from the Lions Club and the Hospice Society. Always up on the latest news, Paterson is a bit of an activist, too — a raging granny if you will. In 2000, she gained the attention of several highprofile politicians and media outlets from around the country, when she turned off the heat in her home for a month during a particular cold snap, to protest the rising costs of [then] Terasen Gas. She said she was fighting for seniors across B.C. who couldn’t afford to heat their homes. She started a letter writing campaign and gathered thousands of signatures and sent them to the B.C. government. In the last provincial election, she volunteered with MLA Mary Polak’s campaign, and she may get involved this year with MLA Rich Coleman. A long-time member of the Salvation Army church, Paterson said she recently wrote her great-grandchildren a letter and told them to keep it and look at it from time to time. continued, PAGE 5

Council wants to talk compost Township wants meeting with Glenval Organics Ltd. and Metro Vancouver Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

Langley Township council has unanimously backed a call by Councillor Charlie Fox to have the people behind a proposed composting plant explain themselves. The Glenval Organics Ltd. application to locate the plant on a 12.32 hectare property at 25330 88 Ave. has drawn complaints from area residents who say the plant will stink, increase traffic and drive down property values. Fox said there hasn’t been enough public consultation, adding he wrote Metro Vancouver about the proposal on Dec. 20 and has yet to hear back from them. “It demonstrates a certain disregard for the Township of Langley,” Fox said.

member” of Glenval Organics to come to council to make a presentation about the details of the proposed plant and for the Metro Vancouver manager of solid waste and recycling to also come to council to make a presentation about “the process to monitor and enforce compliance with Metro Vancouver regulations.” Fox said that a one-on-one meeting staged by Glenval is the best way for council to get the information it needs about the impact of the project on traffic and air quality. “We need to have some clear, actual interaction,” Fox said. “We’re not going to get that in a highly charged public meeting.” Glenval promises the facility will not smell bad because it will only use yard waste, but Councillor Kim Richter wondered how Glenval can guarantee only green waste will be used when current

garbage collection practice is to mix it in with other waste like meat scraps, which does smell. “It’s sad that Metro Vancouver doesn’t think we’re good enough for a university district, but we’re good enough to take their garbage,” Richter said. “This whole composting facility has come from left field.” She said there are other sites that would be better choices for a composting plant, like near an existing waste transfer facility. Glenval Organics has described the 88 Avenue site as a “former fill and gravel pit” that is properly zoned for composting. The company issued a press release last month saying it intends to become the first yard waste compost facility in the Metro Vancouver region to receive an air quality permit and promised the plant will “meet or exceed all environmental regulations that apply to the composting industry.”

“We’ll see what level of stratification council would like to see.” The City has also been criticized for not providing smaller bins for collection of organic kitchen scraps. Instead, they are advising residents to purchase kraft paper bags, which are available at a variety of outlets and can be dropped right into the green cans with less mess than dumping containers. Compostable plastic (cornstarch) bags are not acceptable, because they interfere with the composting process, the mayor stressed, adding he’s

already made that mistake himself. It takes from six to eight weeks from delivery of the organics until they have broken down into usable compost, and the so-called plastic bags don’t break down fast enough, he explained. As far as garbage rates go, Vlieg said, until the City can measure residents’ participation in the new recycling program, it is using 2012 figures as its base for 2013. Tipping fees for organic green waste are roughly half those of garbage, because the composted product can be resold at a

profit, but if people continue to dispose of organic kitchen waste in their trash, the City — and by extension taxpayers — will not realize any savings. However, it is unlikely that will happen. “If we assume a 15 per cent diversion from garbage to green can, we’re looking at a 150,000-kg diversion,” said Vlieg. At that level, he said, the City and taxpayers would break even. “Above 15 per cent, we would see an overall reduction in costs.” “So there is a potential dollar savings if people do divert more,” said Hall. “If residents embrace the

program, we would expect savings.” While residents of multi-family dwellings (townhouses and condos) make up more than 50 per cent of the City’s 25,000 residents, they are not included in the organic waste program. The City has received a number of calls asking if and when that will change, Vlieg said. By 2015 fullspectrum recycling will be required at all residences, commercial and industrial properties, he noted. However, the City’s advice to condo and townhouse dwellers for now, is to talk to their strata about implementing a kitchen organics program through their recycling company. Currently, single family households may put out two cans of garbage for collection every second week. Additional cans can be put out as long as each bears a sticker, which can be purchased from the City for $2.20. There is no limit on the number of containers of organic waste, which are collected weekly. The City’s composted material will be hauled to a composting facility in Abbotsford.

Second Jubilee medal for City of Langley mayor

Composting answers

Standing up for change

he composting controversy in Langley City may be quelled somewhat by answers to the basic questions residents are asking. These were publicized at Monday’s council meeting. However, there are other questions about composting, both in the City and beyond, which also require answers. Why did the City go into composting the way it did? The City decided to extend its garbage contract with Emterra and initiate composting, even though the contractor does not have the ability to pick up larger bins as is now the case in Surrey. Thus conventional cans are needed for both garbage and compost. This means residents who compost a lot of material may end up putting out a large number of garbage cans. The City could have gone with Emterra or another contractor and brought in large bins for automated pickup at the same time, but that’s an expense it didn’t want to consider. The City has expended a great deal of energy on changing the system for single-family homes, but why has it done so little to initiate any change for residents of multi-family units? This is particularly surprising in a City which has a stated goal of higher densities. If there is a drive to drastically reduce the amount of material going to garbage dumps, why not put at least as much energy into bringing in recycling and composting at apartment buildings and townhouse complexes? It appears to be a lack of imagination. The City isn’t responsible for picking up that garbage, so has all but ignored the issue. Another question which needs an answer is this. How many more compost facilities, such as one proposed on River Road in Glen Valley, will be proposed in Langley in coming years? If there is a drive to do more composting, where will it all end up? The operator of the Glen Valley complex says it will only handle yard waste. How is that possible when all these municipal composting programs ask people to throw out vegetables, food waste, meat scraps, bones and other items — and put it all in one container for pickup? The trend towards more composting is a good one. It makes sense to send less material which can be turned into something useful to a garbage dump, or landfill (as cities euphemistically name it.) However, there needs to be clear answers about all aspects of composting. So far, these have been sorely lacking.

e applaud the family of Kimberly Proctor for standing up for change, knowing that doing so would thrust the tragic and painful case of their daughter’s murder back into the spotlight. We are reminded of the efforts of Grant De Patie’s parents. Their lobbying for new regulations to protect late-night service station workers, prompted by their son’s death in 2005 as he tried to stop a gasoline thief in Maple Ridge, led to Grant’s Law, which ultimately mandated pre-payment for gas transactions. Kimberly’s Law calls for a cluster of proposals, including changes to the federal Young Offender’s Act and a national strategy to single out youth with possible violent tendencies and steer them toward support. Some of the lawyer-reviewed proposals have merit, such as the creation of specific protocols that would allow schools to more quickly identify individuals who show potential for threatening or dangerous behaviour. Others seem unenforceable, such as making parents financially responsible for the human damages caused by their children, in cases of murders committed by youth. Civil court already provides a venue to dispute instances of personal loss. Not only that, the creation of a blanket law for financial liability — even in murder cases — ignores the legal tenet that says every case must be heard on its merits. While another proposal, the bumping up of youth to adult court for both murder trials and sentencing, makes sense, it would not jive with the financial liability request. How can we make parents responsible for the actions of their “adult” children? Kimberly’s Law involves many jurisdictions and authorities. Therefore, the chances of it proceeding as written are very slim indeed. But as with any piece of legislation, it takes time to hammer out the best workable solution, one that will have a lasting effect. —Goldstream News Gazette The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Good work at border Editor: Re: Letter written by Melissa McLean (The Times, Jan. 10). First off, I offer her my condolences for her broken phone, but to suggest she is disgusted to be Canadian due to being asked some simple questions, and being delayed for a total of 10 minutes at the border, is shameful. There are millions of people in this world who would love to live in our beautiful country, own a fancy phone and drink vitamin water, let alone clean water. I suggest she give her

head a shake. As far as the border service goes, I cross the border on a weekly basis, and have always been treated with respect. Considering these men and women keep our borders safe, with very little thanks, I would like to acknowledge the work they do. I also suggest to her that she download the photos from her phone more often. To have no backup for 1,100 photos is a problem. H. Douglas, Langley

New registry needed Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times

Transportation Minister and Langley MLA Mary Polak announced a new provincial aviation strategy at the Langley Airport on Dec. 21, a move applauded by the B.C. Aviation Council.

Aviation strategy praised Editor: I have sent the following letter to Transportation Minister Mary Polak: On behalf of the B.C. Aviation Council, I would like to commend you and your government on the Aviation Strategy for B.C. you announced on Dec. 21, and your commitment to the aviation and aerospace sector in this province. While we do not have comprehensive economic impact numbers for the sector as a whole,we know that aviation is vital to the health of the province. For example,every year B.C.’s airports serve 22 million passengers and support 31,000 direct jobs — with thousands more indirect jobs generated in multiple other sectors. Vancouver International Airport alone generates $5.3 billion in total revenue annually, and people employed at YVR receive $1 billion in annual wages. With a network of 290 land-based airports and aerodromes, heliports and water aerodromes, it is clear that the aviation and aerospace industry has an enormous role to play in the economy and

growth of British Columbia. We know British Columbians like to fly: 42 per cent of B.C. households report buying airline tickets every year, compared to 29 per cent nationally. The industry also fuels tourism and innovation and allows the province to connect to the world for business and leisure. Aviation education, maintenance and technology are also important aspects of our industry. BCIT operates the largest aerospace technology school in Canada,providing British Columbia with the opportunity to be a worldwide centre of excellence for aviation. For 75 years, the BC Aviation Council has represented and advocated for the industry, and we look forward to working with you and your ministry in building a future based on our proud aviation heritage.

Editor: I am flabbergasted that Chief Theresa Spence would be given so much space in the media. She obviously has no credibility. First she wanted a meeting with Stephen Harper. When she finally got that, it wasn’t enough — she wanted the Governor General.

When the press started to question her about financial accountability, she would not let them in. She does not deserve any more air time, as she makes no sense at all. David J. Standcumbe, Langley

I encourage everyone to write their MP and demand, at the minimum, a large RCMP bureaucracy for coast-to-coast registry of these weapons. In addition, there ought to be a law which limits the capacity of the handles to a maximum of two disposable blades, and another law mandating that the blades be stored separately from the handle, all under lock and key. Alex Lornie, Langley

One last holiday decoration Editor: The Holiday Decoration in January There’s one last decoration hanging still, Hiding, drooping, looking ill, In protest and stubborn will. There’s one last decoration hanging still. There’s one last decoration hanging still. I spy it near the window sill, Its hour is past with holiday thrill, There’s one last decoration hanging still.

Mark Duncan, chair, BC Aviation Council

Spence not a credible spokesman The

Editor: It was with great sadness that I listened to media reports of the Richmond murder trial of Jean Ann James, who was convicted of killing her best friend with a boxcutter in 1992. We saw the horror that boxcutters caused in the wrong hands on Sept. 11, 2001. All of the knife owners reading this should be ashamed. How many more lives must be wasted before our government takes action?

There’s one last decoration hanging still. It seems to be a bitter pill, A forgotten and only frill. There’s one last decoration hanging still.

There’s one last decoration hanging still. It shall remain there until . . . Surrounding it is nothing, nil. There’s one last decoration hanging still.

Wendy Welk, Langley

Shark Club discrimination complaint will go ahead Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has rejected an application by the Langley Shark Club to dismiss a discrimination complaint against the business. On Jan. 10, tribunal member Marlene Tyshynski concluded that the case “lends itself to a mediated resolution.” “The circumstances of this case remain ambiguous, given the strong differences between parties respecting the incident.” She recommends a tribunal settlement meeting in hopes it will “improve the relationship” between them in the future. Manjinder Gill and his wife, Manjit Gill, filed a complaint of being discriminated against because of their race and colour of their skin after being denied entry into the club. Another member of their party, Suringerjit Rai who was refused entry into the club on Dec. 9, 2011 also filed an

identical complaint. The tribunal has joined all three complaints for one settlement meeting. Rai and the Gills allege that they were 15 minutes late for a reservation for a graduation party already happening inside. The bouncer refused to let them in, claiming they were late. At the same time,

they observed Caucasian patrons getting into the club, even without reservations and not following the club’s dress code. The Shark Club filed a response, saying that Rai was denied entry because he lacked ID and that Manjinder Gill was denied entry because he became “belligerent” after Rai wasn’t allowed in.

Alex Hope Elementary PAC president Karen Moore and her sons Tanner, 12, Michael, 9, and Ryan, 7, stand where the school’s playground once was. Thanks to the generosity of several community businesses and a service club, a new playground is on the way.

Donation brings tears to Alex Hope parents’ eyes Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

How long do you think it would take you to raise $100,000? Less than five months? That’s the time it took for the Alex Hope Elementary Parent Advisory Committee to raise nearly $100,000 to purchase a playground for the populated Walnut Grove school. It all started in September when the PAC asked maintenance to fix a lifted board on the swing bridge portion of the playground. That inspection led to the 20-year-old structure being condemned. The 500-plus students were left with a set of swings, monkey bars and a small playground to the side of the school (it, too, needs replacing.) The kids adapted by playing hide-and-go-seek and tag, but behind the scenes, parents got to work, holding raffles, bake and craft sales and giveaways while also going to bat for their school at Township council meetings. The structure is actually on Township land, inside the grounds of “Alex Hope Park.” Langley Township originally offered $5,000 towards its replacement. (School districts do not pay for playgrounds. It is up to each PAC to pay for playgrounds). Playgrounds cost around $80,000 to buy and thousands more dollars to install. Super Save Group has donated $10,000 and and the Great Canadian Dollar Store donated $1,300. But then, a Christmas gift came their way from Langley family-owned Online Collision. The local business donated $30,000. At the same time, Township came through with a $25,000 one-time grant. The Fort Langley Lions are also helping out. “Online Collision, (owned by the Kruger

family) decided to start this Playground Initiative, and decided to start with us. It came in just the Friday before Christmas, and we got to announce it to the kids that afternoon. You could hear the kids cheering from their classrooms,” said Alex Hope PAC president Karen Moore. “For those of us that have been working so hard on it this year, hearing the cheers from the classrooms brought tears to our eyes,” said Moore. “It is a reality now that we will have that playground by this spring.” But they are a few thousand dollars off their mark. They are hosting another fundraiser, a poker night for adults, on Jan. 26 at West Langley Hall. The Lions will be providing the food at the tournament. Tickets can be purchased through the school at 604-888-7901.

Players aim to make you laugh and think It’s morning in the city. Shorty rolls cigarettes on a bench while Jim looks for change in phone boxes. Big Tom is already drunk. The men trade stories about doughnuts and smokes, sisters and girlfriends, shelters and welfare. Acts of kindness follow acts of selfishness, and humour keeps pace with despair. But it’s early yet. It’s election day, and an aboriginal is running for office. Anything can happen. Filled with abundant humour and sharp insight, Jim and Shorty, the upcoming comedydrama from Langley Players, gives a human face to life on the street, as three lonely men fumble to make a connection. But injecting comedy into such a sad and often sensitive subject requires a deft hand, both on the part of a playwright and anyone who chooses to mount the production. Surrey’s Marko Hohlbien was certainly mindful of the balancing act he faced when he decided he wanted to direct the play, written by Canadian actor/ writer Alex Poch-Goldin. It was a story he wanted to tell so badly, though, that he pitched it twice at different theatres before convincing Langley Players’ selection committee to find a space for it in their limited season. “By infusing what is essentially

a very sad story with humour, the playwright has taken an interesting approach to the subject,” said Hohlbien. Generally speaking, the director pointed out, when people are living on the streets, there are issues of substance abuse or mental illness at play — often both. That’s certainly the case in Jim and Shorty, where characters “have a habit of repeating themselves and saying what we think are pretty outrageous things,” said Hohlbien. This is where much of the play’s humour arises, he added. But while audiences are laughing, they’re also feeling a certain level of discomfort about it. “At least, that’s what I’m hoping.” Hohlbien — who is fresh from last year’s award-winning production of Mending Fences at Surrey Little Theatre — chose the play in part, he explained, because it was written by a Canadian. “Then there is the subject matter. As I dove into it I began to notice that I knew nothing about (the plight of) homeless people.” “The writer has done a marvelous job,” he said. “It’s gentle — it’s not taking a hammer and beating you on the head with it,” said Hohlbien. “There’s no (foul) language,

You can see the inside of that world without fear. “You (come to) understand the life of someone you wouldn’t normally communicate with in day-to-day life.” The three-member cast includes Langley resident Mitch Kapustinsky, making his Langley Players acting debut as Big Tom, an aboriginal Canadian. “Mitch is playing the part of a native. He’s not a native, but he did his homework on the sub-

ject,” Hohlbien said. “His type of energy and commitment is what I wanted.” Previously Kapustinsky has worked behind the scenes, doing sound and lighting. He has done a bit of improv in the past, as well, so this isn’t his first time on stage, but compared to his cast mates, he is a relative newcomer. Surrey’s Dann Wilhelm plays Jim, a man who is constantly after something. Local theater goers will recognize Wilhelm from past productions for the

Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society including roles in The Pirates of Penzance and The Gondoliers. This is his first production for Langley Players and his first non-musical play in seven years. Also new to the Langley Players is Reginald Pillay as Shorty, who can always be found on this bench. Pillay has appeared in the Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society’s productions of Iolanthe and H.M.S. Pinafore. His nonmusical roles include A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Beach House Theatre) and A Talent for Murder (Stage 43). Currently, Pillay can be seen on TV or at the movies in the Encorp Return-It commercial, playing opposite a juice cartonshaped puppet. This is Hohlbein’s first time directing for Langley Players, but regular patrons will recognize him as Oliver Pemberton in I Remember You. Jim and Shorty runs Thursdays to Sundays from Jan. 17 to Feb. 16 at the Langley Playhouse, 4307 200 St. in Brookswood. Show times are 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. All tickets are $15. For reservations, please call 604-534-7469, or email reservations@langleyplayers.com.

Many new immigrants choose to come to Canada for its abundant career opportunities; yet far too many of these new immigrants are struggling to find stable full time jobs as Canadian employees fail to recognize even their top-end foreign accreditations. The temporary solution becomes seeking ‘survival jobs’ as security guards or store clerks while awaiting other job opportunities to come along. There is a better solution than working long hours in survival jobs. Brighton College recognizes the challenges new immigrants face and the cost of returning to school for long periods of time. It’s highly specialized programs help numerous people get rid of their survival jobs and dive back into their professional industries. For example, foreign architects are able to complete short programs updating their technical skills and knowledge on Canadian building codes, and foreign accountants are able to do the same by updating their accounting backgrounds to include Canadian taxation foundations. With such highly focused and targeted programs, students can get Canadian-recognized certification in less time and increase their chances of obtaining employment shortly after graduation. A huge advantage Brighton College has is its hands-on work experience opportunities included in its curriculum that gives students real Canadian work experience.

Incentive for a new lifestyle Green Fighters’ Challenge launched Sheila ReynoldS and evan Seal Black Press

It’s a new year, and now it’s time for a new lifestyle. Black Press has partnered with Kin’s Farm Market to launch the Green Fighters Challenge in 13 communities in the Lower Mainland, including Langley. The challenge will follow participants over several months as they change their life and get healthy. One person will be chosen from each participating community to make a change and win prizes. The grand prize will be a cruise for two from Cruise Experts. It will be awarded at the end of the 13-week contest. However, one Green Fighter will win a prize each week during weekly challenges. But it’s not just the participants who will be able to win. Canadian Tire will provide prizes for readers as well as the challengers as part of their commitment to healthy living. Readers are encouraged to check out the Green Fighters website to follow the participants’ progress and share thoughts about how they are eating better and getting fit yourself for 2013. The Canadian Cancer Society has noted that changing just one thing about your life, whether it’s eating more vegetables or quitting smoking, can reduce your cancer risk. Local produce retailer Kin’s Farm Market is pleased to be able to provide fruits and vegetables to the participants in the Green Fighters Challenge, as well as produce to its customer that helps put them on the road for achieving a New Year’s resolution and a healthier lifestyle in general. The Green Fighters site will regularly include recipes, special offers and tips for making a change, whether it’s to your diet or fitness level. The year 2013 is shaping up to be a year of change for UBC student Ben Duenas. After spending most of his days during the last few years in a classroom, the chemical engineering student is looking to make some changes in his life. “While going to school full

time, I didn’t have time to exercise,” said Duenas. “I’ve made it my New Year’s resolution to get out there and try new things.” The 23-yearold, who was cooling down after a short workout at Bear Creek Park in Surrey, also wants to rev up his social life. “I’ve been sitting in class Evan SEAL/Black Press far too long, so Ben Duenas has made it a New Year’s resoI just signed up lution to get more regular exercise. for jiu-jitsu (a Japanese martimetable) or having a regular tial art) and ballroom dancing,” Duenas schedule or fitness program said. “I hope to meet new created for them.

Get ripped, not ripped off Better Business Bureau offers tips to consider before joining fitness club Each year, thousands of consumers across B.C. follow through with their New Year’s resolution to get fit by joining a fitness or health club. Most people who join health clubs are pleased with their choices, but others are not. They have problems with high-pressure sales tactics, misrepresentations of facilities and services, broken cancellation and refund clauses and lost membership fees as a result of spas or clubs going out of business. In 2012, the Better Business Bureau serving Mainland B.C. received more than 15,700 inquiries about health clubs fitness centres and exercise and fitness programs and 235 complaints over a 12-month period. The Better Business Bureau advises consumers to consider the following tips before joining a fitness club: Shop around. Compare clubs to find one that matches your interests and your budget. Check the company’s reliability report with the BBB before making a long-term commitment by visiting www.mbc.bbb.

org or calling 604-682-2711. Take your time. Give yourself time to make your final decision, and don’t cave in to high-pressure sales. A hasty commitment to take advantage of a limited time offer may cost you more in the long run. Ask about free trials, and see if you can sample the services and equipment before you buy. Make sure the hours and location are convenient, and that you’re satisfied that the staff is qualified and helpful. Find out what sorts of programs and fitness classes are offered to match your lifestyle, and if those programs are included in your membership fees or cost extra. Know yourself and plan a routine. Assess how often you’re going to use the club and compare the costs of long- and short-term memberships with drop-in visits. Carefully consider the contract. Take a copy home to read thoroughly before signing. Be sure to find out about your cancellation rights. Be cautious of clubs that pressure you to sign on the spot. Ask yourself the following questions • Does the contract list all services and facilities? • What is total cost and payment schedule, including enrollment fees and finance charges? Do some services cost extra?

• How long is a membership term? A short-term membership may be more suitable for you. Does the contract allow for a trial period? A gym membership is considered a continuing service contract in B.C. By law, you have 10 days, from date of signing, to cancel the contract in writing. Many gym contracts are for two years. Consumers should also know that gym contracts can automatically roll over after two years. However, after two years, the contract must be month to month and the consumer has the right to cancel at that time. Cancellation must be made in writing and given 30 days notice. A good tip is for a consumer to note when the two year contract expires and if they wish to cancel the contract, they should advice the gym 30 days before the contract ends. Consumer Protection B.C. regulates these types of contracts and consumers have cancellation rights and responsibilities. To find out more, visit www. consumerprotectionbc.ca or call toll free 1-888-564-9963. BBB suggests paying by credit card in case the club suddenly closes, but don’t part with any funds before signing a contract. Finally, never sign up with a club that hasn’t yet opened.

• The Langley Times • Thursday, January 17, 2013

The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is welcoming the new year with a slate of big events. The first will take place on Feb. 6 at the Delta Burnaby Hotel and Conference Centre. The Legends of Housing event will include a panel of residential construction industry leaders including David Podmore of Concert Properties, Peeter Wesick of Wesgroup and Ward McAllister of Ledingham McAllister discussing where they think the housing industry is going and their experiences in the industry, followed by a question and answer session. The session will be moderated by urban design specialist Bob Ransford of Counterpoint Communications. The GVHBA will also announce the finalists for the 2013 Ovation Awards at the event, which is also the first dinner meeting of the year. Tickets can be purchased on the GVHBA website until Feb. 4. The next big event in the GVHBA calendar is the BC Home and Garden Show on Feb. 20 to 24. The association hosts the GVHBA Pro Renovation + Design Centre every year, showcasing before and after photos of professional renovations by member companies. You are also able to book a free consultation with a renovation or design professional. The event will take place at BC Place, with tickets available on the day or at www.bchomeandgardenshow.com. While you’re there, you can see photos of the finalists for the Ovation

Awards, and cast your vote for the People’s Choice Award, which will be handed out for the first time this year. The ceremony will take place in April. The show features more than 425 local experts in all aspects of home ownership, from renovation to organization, appearances by HGTV celebrities like Sarah Daniels of Urban Suburban and tons of tips for outdoor living and gardening. The third big event of the next few months is the annual First-Time Home Buyer Seminar on March 19 at the Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey. The seminar is the largest of its kind in North America and is always popular. Admission is free, though preregistration is required on the GVHBA website and attendees are asked to bring an item for the Surrey Food Bank. “Our experts will help first-time buyers consider all available options and important issues before they take that critical first step onto the property ladder,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Real estate continues to be a hot topic in this region, so seminar attendance is expected to be as many or greater than the 750 young people who attended last year’s event.” The seminar will cover a wide range of topics, including

finding the best home for you, how to choose a location, what’s involved when buying a home before it’s built and wading through the legal considerations that come with purchasing a home for the first time. Doors will open at 6 p.m. to allow participants to talk to the experts one-on-one, and the seminar will take place between 7 and 9 p.m. For more information about any of these events and to see a list of others, visit www.gvhba.org.

Stafford’s Jaydon Courchesne (above) goes up for the shot against the Wolves on Friday during opening round play in Stafford’s Grade 8 basketball tournament. Stafford finished second at the five-team tournament.

Foul trouble caught up to the H.D. Stafford Skyhawks. Playing in the championship final of the first Skyhawk Invitational Grade 8 boys’ basketball tournament on Saturday afternoon, Stafford hung tough for much of the game against the Eugene Reimer Ravens, but the Abbotsford visitors pulled away in the end to win by a dozen points, 37-25. Other teams at the tournament included Panorama Ridge, Archhbishop Carney and Chief Dan George. The Skyhawks beat Panorama Ridge twice and also defeated Chief Dan George.

were looking at the number of personal bests achieved, the number of school records broken or the number of people who have already automatically qualified for nationals, the performances by our group were remarkable. “Our first-year athletes performed exceptionally well. Our veterans performed like veterans and overall it was just a great success for our athletes.”

While five athletes earned automatic national championship times, the Spartans also had a bevy of performances that shattered the Spartans record book. Nathan George, in the 60m hurdles, Blair Johnston, in the 3000m, and Ross (60m hurdles) set new school records in track events while Jesse Phillips and Marchant both set new marks in the pole vault.

Win streak comes to end for Rivermen

Gary ahuja Times Sports

A pair of first-place foes spelled the end of the Langley Rivermen’s winning streak. The Rivermen had won four straight games to climb into the fourth and final playoff spot in the BCHL’s Mainland Division, but that streak came to a crashing thud with a pair of home-ice losses at the Langley Events Centre. The Rivermen fell 5-1 to the Interior Division-leading Penticton Vees on Saturday night and then suffered a 10-2 drubbing at the hands of their Mainland Division-rivals, the Surrey Eagles on Sunday afternoon. “Two good teams happened to us,” said Langley coach and general manager Bobby Henderson, when asked about the modest win streak coming to an end. “Both games we got a good start (but) those are two good hockey teams, give them credit.” Derek Sutliffe had the lone Langley goal against Penticton, but it came in the third period with his team already down 5-0. And in Sunday’s contest with the Eagles, Langley recovered from a 2-0 first-period deficit thanks to goals from Mario Puskarich and Austin Azurdia in the first 4:20 of the sec-

Gators second at Legal Beagle

ond period. But Surrey scored three more times before intermission and then tacked on another five goals in the third to win going away. “The Surrey game, we let get away from us,” Henderson said. “And our guys didn’t do a very good job responding.” Leading the way was trade deadline pick-up Adam Tambellini who had a hand in half his team’s goals with a hat trick and five points. Puskarich and Tambellini are tied for the league lead in goals with 27 apiece, although Puskarich does lead the BCHL in points, with 54. Former Langley Minor Hockey Association player Kevan Kilistoff finished with the Gordie Howe hat trick, thanks to a goal, an assist and a fight. “We use these games as a measuring stick,” Henderson said, adding that he did see some positives from the weekend despite an aggregate score of 15-3 for their foes. The Rivermen will look to return to the win column as they travel to Coquitlam’s Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre for a showdown with the Express on Friday (Jan. 18). Langley holds a one-point lead over Coquitlam — although the Rivermen have a pair of games in hand — for the fourth and final playoff spot in the Mainland Division. Boaz JOSEPH/Black Press

Surrey Eagles’ Kevan Kilistoff fires a puck on goal while Langley Rivermen’s Austin Bietenbeck dives in an attempt to break up the play. Both Kilistoff and Bietenbeck are Langley Minor Hockey Association alum. Kilistoff scored once and set up another goal as the Eagles cruised to the 10-2 victory.

In a battle of two of the top 5 ranked teams in the province, it was the White Rock Christian Warriors out-lasting the Walnut Grove Gators 86-80 in double overtime. The two senior boys AAA basketball rivals were playing in the championship final of the Terry Fox Legal Beagle basketball tournament in Port Coquitlam on Saturday night. The Gators’ Sam Shin was named both the defensive player of the tournament and a second team all-star. Joining him on the all-star squad were Jadon Cohee and Paul Getz, who were both first team selections, and Josh Mayorga, who was on the second team. The Gators had defeated the host Terry Fox Ravens 74-41 in the semifinals after opening with a victory over the Vancouver College Fighting Irish.

Spartan ranked second Two more victories improved the Trinity Western Spartans women’s volleyball team to 12-2 and bumped them up to second spot in the CIS national rankings. The Spartans won twice against the Brandon Bobcats last week. The men’s volleyball team split with the Bobcats, seeing their record fall to 11-3. The loss also dropped them in the CIS standings from second to third. And the unranked Spartan basketball teams were also in action for a pair of matches. The men’s team (4-8) upset the fifth-ranked Alberta Golden Bears 90-85 before losing 92-85 to the Saskatchewan Huskies. The women’s team (2-10) lost 73-53 to Alberta and 66-51 to Saskatchewan.

BC’s Largest Agriculture Event of the year!

Nathan Tardi releases the rock while Jordan Tardi (left) and Rhett Hildebrandt wait to sweep during the juvenile men’s zone 3 playdowns on Saturday at the Langley Curling Club.

Langley curlers fall short in final A 5-1 victory for Team Habkirk has the Coquitlam rink off to Prince George for the provincial curling championships. The Coquitlam Curling Club foursome defeated the Langley Curling Club’s Team Tardi 5-1 to capture the zone 3 juvenile men’s curling championship on Sunday. The three-day event was held at the Langley Curling Club. The Habkirk rink scored two in the fourth end for the first points of the match and after Team Tardi scored one in the fifth end, the Coquitlam side scored two more in the sixth and one more in the seventh. Team Tardi — made up of Tyler Tardi, Jordan Tardi, Nathan Tanner and Rhett Hildebrandt and coached by Paul Tardi — had won their first four matches, including a 6-5 win over the Habkirk rink. But they stayed alive with a 7-6 win over the Tardi rink to force one more match and then won that one as well. The Langley Curling Club had one other rink, Team Kryski at the event. The group — made up of Scottie Kryski, Adam Beggs, Brandon Southern and Andrew Flitton and coached by Paul Tardi and Scott Kryski — went 1-2 in the round robin and then was eliminated by Team Habkirk 8-5. Team Habkirk consisted of Kyle Habkirk, Nicholas Umbach, Ryan Harbrink and Kento Sato. They are coached by Debbie Carroll.

The juvenile women’s curling championships were also held

at the Langley Curling Club with Team Hawes (Chilliwack Curling

Club) defeating Team Hanni (Mission Curling Club) 4-1.

CAR CARE & REPAIR Simple Steps to a Clean Interior Much like curb appeal improving the chances of a sale on your home, having a car that is presented well inside and out may boost its resale value. Even owners who don't anticipate selling in the near future should maintain the vehicles to ensure they are safe. After home and work, a car is where many people spend most of their time. As a result, a vehicle can become soiled, scratched or overrun with clutter. Here's how to start. Remove Clutter The first step is to remove the excess items in the car. They may be toys, books, clothing, discarded food wrappers or beverage containers. People who commute also may accumulate a number of items in their cars, including business materials. These items should be sorted and put where they belong. Vacuum Much of the dirt and debris can easily be removed with a vacuum. A shop vac will have enough power to thoroughly clean upholstery and mats. Remove the floor mats and set them on a flat surface. Thoroughly vacuum the mats to clear them of debris. Vacuum the floor of the car as well as any upholstery that may be a catch-all for crumbs. Using a soft-bristled vacuum attachment, you also can remove dust from the vents, speakers and the center console of your vehicle. Spot cleaning Spills and stains occur in vehicles, just as they do elsewhere. Cleaning may require a little elbow grease and upholstery cleaner designed for car interiors or a mixture of laundry detergent and water applied with a damp rag or sponge. The same

process can be used on carpeting. Use a brush to clean heavily soiled areas. Leather upholstery can be more delicate than cloth upholstery. Use only products designed specifically for leather to avoid damage. Console and dashboard detailing A barely moist cloth can be used to clean the plastic components of the dashboard and consoles of the vehicle. Wipe away any dust and any minor stains or sticky areas without saturating important electrical components. It is always better to spray polish or cleaning agents on your cloth than directly on the dashboard. In hard-to-reach-areas, consider using a soft-bristled paintbrush or cotton swabs to clean in crevices. Wipe down everything with a dry cloth or towel. Windows Clean windows are essential to driving safely. Cleaning windows is relatively simple

to do with a glass cleaner spray and a lintfree cloth. Use caution when cleaning the rear window if it has a defogger/defroster grid on it. These wires can be damaged easily. Clean with the direction of the defroster grid lines. Freshen the car Place an air freshener or spray a product on the air intake vent to eradicate musty smells. Replace the cabin air filter periodically, otherwise you could be breathing in dust and dander that is trapped in the filter. These are the basic steps. Other work can be done depending on your preferences and the make of the car. Routine maintenance helps others see that you have pride in your vehicle and can ensure a better return on your investment down the line if you choose to sell.
