The steel beams that will bring the new overpass across the Langley Bypass were installed overnight on Tuesday. Video online at www.langleytimes.com.

Overpass crosses Langley Bypass Multi-million dollar 196 Street overpass and ‘combo’ project are scheduled for completion in January, 2014 Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

Two heavy lift construction cranes moved steel beams into place across the Langley Bypass Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, bringing the biggest municipal project of its kind one step closer to completion. Ken Zondervan, design and construction manager for the City of Surrey, was on hand as the first span of the 196 Street overpass was bolted into place with the assistance of a third, smaller truckmounted crane. “Today is a bit of a milestone,” Zondervan told The Times.

“This is probably the single largest project that the City of Surrey has undertaken in terms of an engineering project.” Langley Bypass was closed overnight to allow the work to proceed. The 196 Street span is one of three three separate railway overpasses known as the the “combo” project, constructed on 192 Street, 54 Avenue and 196 Street. It includes the opening of what was formerly a right of way into a two-lane connecting road along 196 Street, south of 56 Avenue. The overpasses are being built as part of a larger campaign to reduce traffic delays along the Roberts Bank rail corridor that handles container and coal trains

a train is approaching a level crossing to give them an opportunity to divert to an overpass. Overall, the combo project is “on or slightly ahead of schedule” said Zondervan. “We’ve had a few delays in the relocation of third party utilities but overall things are progressing well.” The work is being funded by the federal and provincial governments, Port Metro Vancouver, the railways, the City of Surrey, Langley City and Langley Township. The “combo” overpasses are scheduled to open in January of 2014. Video online at www.langleytimes.com.

City’s last surviving founder passes away Freeman of the City John Jeffery remembered as ‘a fighter to the end’ Brenda anderson Times Reporter

John Jeffery, a freeman of the City of Langley and one of its founding fathers, has died. Jeffery passed away on Saturday, Jan. 19 at the age of 91 from organ failure, complicated by pneumonia and c. difficile. “He was too sick . . . it was too much,” said Jeffery’s son Bryce of the combination of illnesses his father faced during the three weeks he spent in Langley Memorial Hospital. “But he was a fighter to the end,” he said, relating how Jeffery had opened his eyes on Saturday morning, cried and hugged his daughter-in-law, Marianne, before slipping back into a semi-coma and passing away peacefully that night, with family members holding his hands. “He was pure guts,” said Bryce. In fact, throughout his years in Langley, Jeffery was “viewed as a bit of a gunslinger,” said Bryce. People would see him coming and cross the street, he laughed. But once they met him, Bryce added, they’d discover he was a big softie. “My dad was a lovely, lovely, lovely man.” A realtor, notary public and insurance agent who once wrote for the Vancouver Sun, Jeffery came to Canada from England with his father James, a butcher, and mother, Beatrice. The family lived in Saskatoon before moving to Langley in 1932 and purchasing a large piece of land in the area that is

During the Second World War Jeffery served with the RCAF and later became president of the Royal Canadian Legion Bryce Branch 21. He was also president of the Langley Junior Chamber of Commerce, president of Langley Red Cross, vice president of the Langley Board of Trade and president

of Langley Amateur Athletic Association (through which he helped the municipality develop Douglas Park). Although he’d been an alderman, and loved to talk politics with his son, Jeffery was not a conventional Jeffery son of John Jeffery politico, said Bryce. “One thing dad lacked as a politician was that he wouldn’t change his position on issues. He was a man of principle.” Although he was a prominent

member of the federal Liberal party, “the reason he couldn’t go anywhere (in politics) is that he would live or die with an outcome,” said Bryce. “That’s why people see him as a black-and-white character.” Jeffery was perhaps best known, however, for being a driving force behind the incorporation of the City of Langley in 1955 and sitting on its first council. In 2005 he spoke at a dinner celebrating the municipality’s 50th anniversary. He explained then that the City was not formed over a dispute about streetlights, as is widely believed, but because, among other reasons, sewage was flowing freely in its ditches.

Nearly 60 years after its formation, Jeffery remained a strong supporter of the City and its independence, said Bryce. In the face of a recent campaign to amalgamate the City and Township, Jeffery remained staunchly opposed to the idea. He believed that many of the same issues that led to the formation of the City, still exist, while acknowledging that a complete change of name at the time might have created less kick-back, said Bryce. For the last number of years, Jeffery lived in James Court (named for his father) at the edge of Douglas Park. But rather than sit quietly by in his senior years, Jeffery once again made news in 2008, when he and Bryce mounted a petition to stop the City of Langley from building the Spirit Square stage in Douglas Park at a cost of more than $1 million. “I saw it as a fait accompli — not that I liked it — but dad said we can stand by and let it happen, or give it our best shot,” said Bryce. “I think he was comfortable that we had given it a real shot, even though we were unsuccessful. “We walked the walk, and I feel good about that. “He was the illustration of a determined man who loved and cared for his family and his city,” said Bryce. At Monday night’s City Council meeting, Mayor Peter Fassbender announced Jeffery’s passing, acknowledging the freeman’s contribution to the City of Langley and adding that he will be missed. Jeffery is survived by his wife Charmaine, who remains in care at Langley Memorial Hospital, as well as his son Bryce, daughterin-law Marianne, and grandchildren Coralie, 25, Tiffany, 23, and Thomas, 20.

Richter had filed a notice of motion to have councillors choose between the travel allowance or having one-third of their income declared tax-free. But there was no debate, because Mayor Jack Froese ruled Richter’s proposal out of order. Then came the debate over the proposal to set a limit on the number of motions. Richter said she has

It’s illegal” Councillor David Davis called it “a matter of freedom of speech.” “We can’t go around muzzling councillors,” Davis said. Ward said a limit is needed because “the decorum of this council meeting has deteriorated.” Councillor Steve Ferguson wasn’t sure about setting a ceiling on notices of motion, but he also expressed some concern about the increasing use of the procedural move by councillors. “I don’t believe it’s prudent to run a community by notices of motion,” Ferguson said. “Can’t we just sit down [and work this out]?”” Councillor Charlie Fox said he was willing to consider some kind of limit but “only if the motion is not deemed to violate the Charter of Rights.” Fox convinced a majority of council to have the issue referred for legal advice, then sent to council’s Priorities Committee for discussion.

There were 25 speakers at a Thursday night public meeting about blueberry cannons in Langley, all of them critical. They said the noisemakers used to scare away berrymunching birds are disturbing to people, horses and pets and most demanded an outright ban. “They are depriving me of my right to farm,” said John Reid, one of many horse facility owners to speak. The constant noise during the blueberry growing season is driving down property values, Reid said. “I can’t sell my place,” Reid said. “Not for what it should be used.” Alicia Harper, vice president of membership and marketing for the Horse Council of BC, said the cannons are especially damaging in Langley, often called the “horse capital of B.C.” The devices are “equally effective at scaring horses as birds,” Harper said, going on to call horses a “prey species” whose natural tendency when startled or frightened is to flee. Carol Hauta, who lives near three blueberry farms that use propane cannons, said friends and family won’t come out for barbecues at her place during the summer because of the noise. Sometimes, she said, it feels like she is living in a “war zone.” “In the middle of the growing season when we have our door and windows open to enjoy the summer weather, all we can hear is the boom of propane cannons and the screech of noise scare devices,” Hauta said. She said people living in rural areas should be entitled to same right to peace and quiet as their urban counterparts. “If your neighbours were having a large and very noisy party, so loud it was disruptive to the entire neighbourhood, you have the right to call the police,

who in turn have the responsibility to make sure your neighbours are following the noise bylaws,” Hauta told the hearing. Rob Jandric told the hearing he was a veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces who suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and finds the noise of the cannons especially stressful. “I’ve hit the deck a number of times,” Jandric said. His wife has found him in a “fetal position” a number of times, he added, his voice shaking. “We try to go on holidays, but I don’t have enough [vacation time available] to go away for the whole blueberry season.” Robin Price, who said he once worked at a blueberry farm, said the cannons don’t work. “The birds get used to them,” Price said. He said a more effective approach would be a recording of a bird in distress, something that birds will not get used to and will be less jarring for human beings. “The scream of a bird is not like a cannon going off,” Price said. Another speaker, Sue Leyland, suggested using falcons. The town hallstyle hearing in council chambers was organized by the Langley Township task force on the issue. Chairperson Megan Dykeman said they expect to report back to the township agricultural committee by the end of March. The Propane Cannon Task Force was created in September after council postponed 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 used by the councillor who proposed the ban, Kim Richter. 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. 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.

Police seek man who damaged car Langley RCMP are looking for a man accused of damaging a woman’s vehicle in a fit of anger at the Walmart parking lot on Jan. 14. Suspect Around 10 a.m. a motorist backing out of a parking stall at Walmart noticed a man standing beside her vehicle on the driver’s side. He was very angry and began swearing at her, police allege. He then allegedly kicked

her vehicle several times, both on the passenger side and at the rear. He walked into Walmart after the incident. At this time, the driver noticed there was damage to the passenger side of her vehicle, said police. His image was caught on video surveillance. The male is described as Caucasian, in his 40s, approximately 5’11”, medium build, white hair, scruffy looking with stubble, wearing dark pants and possibly denim and a plaid shirt. If you have any information that would assist police with this investigation, call Langley RCMP at 604532-3200.

Langley RCMP traffic section is looking at a possible medical issue as to why a 21-year-old drove into oncoming traffic, crashing into another vehicle and closing down a portion of Fraser Highway during the dinner rush hour on Monday evening. Around 5:15 p.m., a Nissan Murano, driven by a 21-year-old Langley man was travelling west in the 25200 block of Fraser Highway, when his vehicle crossed into the

oncoming lanes. His vehicle crashed into a Kia Forte being driven by a 58-year-old Langley man. One of the vehicles spun three times from the impact, said police. Both drivers sustained non-life threatening injuries. The air ambulance was unable to land because of the thick fog, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. Police continue to investigate this crash.

The B.C. Lottery Corporation has partnered with the City of Langley to launch the community’s first-ever Responsible Gambling Awareness Week. Offering resource kiosks and interactive games at several high profile locations as well as gambling experts are set to speak in Langley throughout the week. “Langley residents have been strong advocates for services to support those who struggle with problem gaming,” said Langley MLA Mary Polak. The City’s Social Planning Committee helped organize and deliver this week’s events and the province’s gaming policy and enforcement branch helped train local volunteers who will man the “gambling myth-busting” kiosks.

A City builder

Toss case out of court

ohn Jeffery died on Saturday, at the age of 91. He was the last living link to the incorporation of Langley City in 1955 and, throughout his life, proclaimed that the separation of Langley City from Langley Township was in everybody’s best interests. Incorporation had been discussed on many occasions in the 1940s and early 1950s, as the growing importance of what was then called Langley Prairie as a business centre seemed to be rarely acknowledged by the Township councils of the day. While council’s lack of willingness to fund streetlights in what is now the City is often cited as the straw that broke the camel’s back, in fact it was a whole host of issues which led Mr. Jeffery and others on an incorporation committee to look carefully into the merits of incorporating the City of Langley. After the Second World War, the urban population of the area surrounding the Langley Prairie business district grew steadily. Some subdivisions were laid out on former farms, with lots sold and modest homes built. These homes did not have much in the way of urban services. There were no zoning bylaws, no sewers, few paved roads and the water supply was limited. Homeowners used septic systems for sewage disposal, and this didn’t always work well in the wet months. Water came from a variety of sources. In one subdivision, the water came from a farmer’s well, and the supply was limited, to say the least. The election of the Social Credit government in 1952 was also a factor, as MLA Tom Irwin had been active in the movement to have White Rock leave Surrey (which occurred in 1957) and lent a sympathetic ear to similar concerns in Langley. He introduced a private member’s bill in the Legislature calling for incorporation. John Jeffery was a member of the first provisional council and, although he did not serve on council again, has been an unstinting advocate for the City in many ways for the past 58 years. In recognition, he was named a freeman of the City. Langley City and Langley Townshjip have gone their separate ways since 1955, but the two together make up one vibrant community. The City remains the urban heart of the community, although urban development has spread to many areas of the Township as well. Builders like John Jeffery made this community a better place.

nless it is extolling the cuteness of kittens, or the beauty of an August sunrise over the the Gulf Islands, chances are pretty good a lot of people are going to disagree with an editorial, and often times disagree strongly. But we’re willing to bet this one is closer to sunshine and kittens than most. A lawsuit by problem gamblers about a pair of denied casino jackpots should be tossed out of court before the ink on the writ is dry. Two gamblers, including Duncan’s Michael Lee, are suing the B.C. Lottery Corporation for being denied a combined $77,000 in winnings — in Lee’s case, $42,000 from a slot machine in Duncan. The reason for the denial was simple: each man was banned from BCLC casinos at their own request. Lee and Hamidreza Haghdust were both enrolled in the BCLC’s voluntary self-exclusion program, designed to bar gambling addicts from casinos, essentially for their own good. Each snuck in, won jackpots and were rejected when they tried to cash in, and the company realized who they were. They argue the BCLC was at fault for not keeping them out of the casinos. What’s next? Escaped convicts arguing they aren’t guilty of any crimes committed while on the lam because it was the community’s fault for letting them escape jail? Corrupt politicians washing their hands of graft because it was the voters’ fault they were in office in the first place? It would be funny if our court system wasn’t so clogged that real criminals are walking free because judges are unable to hear their cases in a fair amount of time. Can the public sue the plaintiffs for wasting our court system’s precious time? —Cowichan News Leader Pictorial (Black Press)

Propane cannons ‘incredibly loud’ Editor: I attended the town mall meeting on Jan. 17, and I applaud Langley Township council for addressing the issue of propane cannon noise. I was extremely impressed by the number of speakers who so passionately explained the impact that blueberry cannons are having on our lives. For every cannon user, there has to be a dozen or more surrounding families affected by the extreme noise, and these people showed up in force. Where were the nameless and faceless people who are causing all of this distress? I wanted to make two additional points that were not clearly stated by the speakers at the town hall meeting. One is how incredibly loud propane cannons are. Many spoke about the volume, but no one provided specific details, so here they are. The most common propane cannon used

in the Fraser Valley is the Purivox triple shot cannon. The specifications for this device state that the volume of that cannon is 146 decibels at the source. As a general rule, noise decreases by six decibels for every doubling of the distance. At one-half kilometre distance, the noise level is still 92 decibels. Another way to say this is that everyone within a half-kilometre in all directions is severely affected by the noise from a single propane cannon. Worksafe BC states that workers should wear hearing protection in the workplace when noise levels exceed 85 decibels. Propane cannons are incredible loud, way too loud to be permitted in populated areas. Second, only one person in the audience clearly explained the sheer number of blasts that many of us are enduring. This

speaker said that she hears over 300 blasts per day at her home. Many of us have to tolerate way more than 300 blasts per day. Cannons are permitted to fire three blasts every five minutes, for 10.5 hours in the day. That equates to approximately 350 blasts per day from one cannon. At my home, there are three cannons in nearby fields. I have to endure more than 1,000 blasts per day. Some residents have to listen to the noise from even more than three cannons. Something has to be done, and I sincerely hope that Langley Township can ban the use of propane cannons. Hopefully, my municipality of Abbotsford will do the same. Don Gibbs, Abbotsford

NDP have a spotty record across Canada Editor: The B.C. NDP aren’t in for a very good year. The NDP is a united party throughout Canada. An NDP membership is a dual membership, which makes you a member of both the provincial and federal parties. Both Manitoba and Nova Scotia have NDP provincial governments. The voters in Manitoba returned the NDP to government on Oct. 4, 2011, with the party winning the popular vote with 46 per cent to 43 per cent for the opposition Progressive Conservative party. In its budget, the government gave Manitoba taxpayers the largest tax increases in 25 years. It has given up hope of balancing the budget. Polls show that, if an election was held today, the opposition Progressive Conservative would win government with 43 per cent of the popular vote, to 39 per cent for the NDP government. It’s a very sad state of affairs for a government that only won re-election in October of 2011. Manitoba is a have-not province. The taxpayers in Nova Scotia voted in an NDP government on June 9, 2009, for the

first time ever. It may also be the last. The NDP won government with 45 per cent of the popular vote, compared to 27 per cent for the opposition Liberals. The NDP ran a election platform promising no tax increases. What happened? There was an increase in taxes, and funding cuts to health and education. Polls show that, if an election was held today, the opposition Liberals would form government with 41 per cent of the popular vote, with the NDP getting 29 per cen of the popular vote. The Nova Scotia NDP have given up hope in balancing the budget. Nova Scotia is a have-not province. As taxpayers in Nova Scotia are so fed up with the NDP, the NDP government is holding off calling an election and has stated that it might even go the full fiveyear term before having to, by law, to call an election. The NDP is known for one-term governments, just like that of Dave Barrett in B.C. and Bob Rae in Ontario. I don’t believe that the B.C. NDP are happy about the upcoming B.C. election, because of what is happening under NDP

rule in Manitoba and Nova Scotia. If you review the results of the B.C. 2009 provincial election and gave the NDP 48 per cent of the popular vote, they would still be the official opposition party. The Alberta legislature has only four NDP MLAs. Saskatchewan had a provincial election in November, 2011, and the NDP was the official opposition party going into the election battle with 20 seats at the time of the election call. After the election, they were down to only nine seats. Their leader also lost his own seat. The NDP in Ontario has 17 MLAs and is the third party in the province. Quebec, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island do not have one elected NDP MLA. Newfoundland has only five NDP MLAs. Saskatchewan, once home to Tommy Douglas, does not have one elected federal NDP MP. Federally, some polls have them in third place, with the federal Liberals taking second place behine the Conservative government. Joe Sawchuk, Duncan

Langley could learn something from Saanich Editor: The issue of cannons in agricultural areas has always disturbed me. Because I am now living in an agricultural area of California, mainly vineyards, I know our more environmentally-friendly population of the San Francisco Bay area would be appalled to see their use. What I have seen in lieu of cannons is mylar strings waving in the wind. They are tied to stakes throughout vineyards. There are also some vineyards which use shorter wind turbines, thus creating an updraft and deterring landings. The

My problem with Langley Township is that it rarely researches other areas as to what they have done. We are constantly reinventing the proverbial wheel instead of learning from other areas’ mistakes. Even in the area of tree retention in agricultural areas, saving trees prevents soil erosion. Instead, we clear-cut even perimeter trees. Saanich on Vancouver Island created a bylaw years ago saying that tree removal on agricultural land had to be done for agricultural purposes only. Each landowner had to sign an affidavit in order to

clear. In Langley, we see 10 acres cleared, and then filled with concrete, cedar chips, clay soil and anything else contained in a parade of dump trucks. This disregards both neighbours or adjacent waterways. Saanich found a way of making the community retain a sense of natural heritage and allow nature to do what it does better than we do. We must encourage agriculture in the most progressive ways we can. Cathleen Chance Vecchiato, Sonoma, California

WOLF Backed By Many Editor: I support what the WOLF environmental protection group is trying to do. I find it strange that elected officials would challenge this citizen group, whose members presumably vote, to raise funds to buy the property. I saw TV news with WOLF people saying the obvious: “These woods are rare and can never ever be duplicated.” People from all over the world come to B.C. to walk in the rain forest. They stay at B&Bs and hotels, eat, drink and purchase other goods and services. We are at cultural threshold. We simply must create park reserves, for the species which have inhabited them since before time, and for our younger generations, as well as peoples of the world. The Germans and Japanese have chopped down their forests, so they come here to see ours. The tourist industry — for Canadians and other world citizens — is a lucreative one. Langley elected officials (who are here today, perhaps gone tomorrow) stated on TV that they want the “rent,” which they perceive can come only with development. We need ourselves as well as our elected officials to have the long-range view beyond our limited time here, before we bequeath the environment to the next generation. We need more environmentalists and fewer shortsighted, short-stay folks who get into positions of control for a limited time, and then make changes which have serious repurcussions for other species who have lived and/or migrated to these areas since before time. We applaud the WOLF’seye view which is shared by many. Let’s realize our increasingly limited natural resources and preserve them like the treasures they truly are. Let’s also renovate our existing buildings and re-use what we’ve already used. Valerie Lindholm, Victoria

Masks ordered at care homes for anyone without a flu shot Jeff Nagel Black Press

This year’s severe flu season is killing or hospitalizing far more elderly care home residents than usual, prompting Fraser Health to declare a health hazard and invoke special powers to protect the vulnerable. Anyone going to a residential care or assisted living facility who hasn’t had the flu shot this year must now wear a mask and practise stringent hand hygiene while there, chief medical health officer Dr. Paul van Buynder ordered on Jan. 15. The infection-prevention directive issued under the Public Health Act applies to all staff, volunteers and visitors. “We’re in the midst of an outbreak, there’s a public health risk and these are frail elderly that need to be protected,” van Buynder said. There have been flu outbreaks at more than 20 longterm residential care homes in Fraser Health so far this year — more than twice as many as in each of the previous two years.

“The rate of people who are dying is much higher than in previous years,” van Buynder said, adding flu fatalities so far are triple the number at care homes for the last three years combined. “Well over 500 people have been ill.” There have been more than four times the number of flurelated hospitalizations from long-term care facilities than in a typical flu season, he said. “It doesn’t seem to be as severe in the other health authorities at this stage. It’s a response that’s happening in Fraser because we’ve got much more activity than the others.” Although long-term care residents are generally vaccinated against flu, van Buynder said they’re still greatly at risk because of their weak immune systems. People who refuse to comply with the order to wear masks and wash with alcohol hand sanitizer will be turned away. “I believe people will do the right thing,” van Buynder said. Health-sector unions last year resisted the provincial government’s infection control policy that required workers to wear masks throughout the

flu season if they refused the flu shot. Enforcement of that initiative was put on hold for a year but Fraser Health officials say the region’s order now takes precedence. Unvaccinated care home employees who refuse to wear a mask are to be sent home without pay. The risks of flu aren’t limited to the elderly. Van Buynder noted those with chronic disease, pregnant women and the very young are also vulnerable — an 18-month-old baby died recently in Ontario. Flu-related visits to hospital emergency departments are also at the highest level the region has seen in years. The health authority is also urging anyone planning to visit care homes not to go if they feel unwell. Although Fraser Health’s flu vaccination rate improved this year, van Buynder and other public health officials continue to face opposition to their immunization programs. Some online commenters denounced the announcement as a scare tactic to benefit pharmaceutical firms.

Jacob de Raadt may be gone, but he is not forgotten. Six weeks after the Langley City resident was banned from attending Langley Township council meetings, the matter resurfaced at the Jan. 14 council meeting with one councillor, Kim Richter, arguing for a formal process that allows banned people to appeal the decision. Richter said at a minimum, people should be put on notice before they are actually banned. “We don’t have a due process,” Richter

said. “We really need to put the rules of the game up front so people know what the consequences are.” In June, de Raadt was involved in a brouhaha between members of council and the audience during a discussion about the sale of Township-owned land in Glen Valley. De Raadt was forbidden from attending future meeting without the “prior written permission of mayor and Council” and told all future communication with the Township must be directed through Vancouver law firm Bull Housser and Tupper.

He was also warned in writing to “cease publishing or delivering any defamatory or racist communications in respect of the Township, current or past staff or elected officials.” A letter from Bull Housser lawyer James H. Goulden said de Raadt made a number of “inappropriate” remarks in communications to the Township, including a reference to a unnamed person’s Irish surname. “These communications are likely racist and defamatory and should not, in our view, be tolerated by the Township,” Goulden wrote. The comments were made in relation to the Athenry Development project to build condos and a cultural centre in Willoughby, the lawyer said. When a majority of council voted to ban de Raadt, they also voted to have

Bull Housser and Tupper send a letter to nine other people who oppose the Athenry Development project, advising them to direct all future correspondence to the Township’s law firm. Richter thought that was excessive. “There has never been a council in the history of this Township that has banned 10 people,” Richter said. “If you look cross-eyed at us, you can’t be in council chambers any more. It’s ridiculous.” Richter was backed by Councillor David Davis. “This is a public building and taxpayers have a right to express themselves,” Davis said. “This job comes with criticism. You have to have a tough skin to sit here.” continued, PAGE 14 BEST BUY – Correction Notice

Davis and Richter called for a policy that would require a written warning before a ban, with time allowed for the alleged offender to apologize, and an opportunity to speak to council behind closed doors. The policy would allow a banned person to appeal to an “independent third party” whose decision would be final. Mayor Jack Froese said that would be too restrictive. “I don’t feel a policy is necessary,” Froese said. “That’s going to handcuff us and restrict us.” The mayor added the other nine people were told to go through their lawyers because they had sued the Township Jack and even though they Froese had abandoned the lawsuit, there was still the possibility it could be revived Councillor Grant Ward said citizens expect “proper decorum” in council “which excludes racist remarks.” Councillor Charlie Fox said much the same, arguing “reasonable discretion has to be used” by people dealing with council. So did Councillor Bev Dornan, who commented “as adults we are responsible for our actions.” The proposal to adopt the Richter-Davis policy was voted down. Council eventually went with a compromise proposal from Councillor Steve Ferguson, that will have staff look into the cost of researching such a policy, including the cost of finding out how other municipalities handle bans. That was passed with the mayor and Councillors Dornan and Ward opposed. Councillor Bob Long was not present.

The most prominent is Dr. Magda Havas, an associate professor at Trent University who has “developed a career denouncing the safety of low-frequency electromagnetic radiation.” She gives speeches, promotes her book and has worked with one David Stetzer to promote an “EMF filter” to sell to those who insist they feel what science shows they don’t. Havas has appeared on TV “news” shows with “activistentrepreneur” Kevin Byrne. His website appears to be a hub of cell tower and smart meter scare reports, but it’s interspersed with product pitches for EMF Solutions Canada, of which Byrne is coincidentally president. Then there’s “entrepreneuractivist” Rob Metzinger, president of something called Safe Living Technologies Inc. He doesn’t run a lurid scare website, but he’s appeared on CBC and CTV as some sort of authority. (The main hazard emanating from TVs these days is bad information.) As the election approaches, a fight is gearing up between the NDP and the B.C. Green Party for the ignorant, superstitious and angry vote. The Greens in particular have damaged their credibility in a desperate bid to quiet their own tinfoil-chapeau wing. There are bozo eruptions ahead. I’ll have more on that in a future column.

One to one tutoring offered A popular and affordable tutoring program is coming to Langley next month. For parents of children aged six to 14 who struggle with acquiring reading, comprehension, spelling and writing skills, finding affordable after-school tutoring is a challenge. The Learning Disabilities Association – Fraser South Chapter (LDAFS) has offered one to one tutoring in Surrey since 1999. The program is offered in Surrey at Janice Churchill School, 8226 – 146 Street and in Langley at Douglas Park Community School, 5409 – 206 Street. The program is also offered during the summer and fall. The spring program runs from Feb. 4 to May 23. Students attend for one hour sessions, twice a week after school. After a free reading assessment, the child will be matched with a specially-trained

tutor who works under the direction of an experienced certified teacher, using strategies developed to help the child with learning disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder or any child who is behind in reading or writing. A child does not have to be diagnosed as having a learning disability to attend the tutoring program. It is recommended to parents that they register early for the best availability of times, and to book the reading assessment. At least 10 to 15 per cent of the population has learning disabilities. Some partial subsidies are available courtesy of the CKNW Orphans Fund and through a City of Langley grant for families in financial need. For more information, see www.ldafs.org or call 604-591-5156.

Saving time and money at Morgan Crossing By Kerry Vital

Morgan Crossing is ringing in the New Year with a great price on all remaining Focus homes until Jan. 31. The Focus homes are two- and threebedroom condominiums in the heart of the popular village, and Director of Sales Bryan Woolley says they’ve proven to be very popular. “The homes are really well-designed,” he says, adding, “Now is the time to buy ... these homes are priced to sell.” With spacious floorplans ranging from 922 to 1,270 square feet and plenty of amazing features such as engineered wood flooring, gorgeous countertops and an open-plan layout, buyers will easily find things to love about their new home. The biggest draw of the homes at Morgan Crossing is the amazing village lifestyle that you get when you purchase here. The village has shopping, dining, community events and amenities right outside your front door. The homes at Focus are located directly above Thrifty Foods, so going grocery shopping is incredibly easy. “You don’t have to stock up on groceries if you don’t want to,” says Woolley. “It’s just two minutes from your home into the store. You can do it during a commercial break!” If you’re craving a dinner out, Morgan Crossing offers you a range of choices from White Spot to Pita Pit. When it’s time for dessert, Mink A Chocolate Cafe or Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt is right around the corner. Shopping is simple at the variety of stores at Morgan Crossing, from Jacob to Town Shoes to Winners. Even a workout is right outside, with the Steve Nash Sports Club in the village. “People fall in love with the village,” Woolley says. “It sets Morgan Crossing apart.” The community feel is especially important. “The social possibilities really attract people,” says Woolley. In fact, he notes that the events at Morgan Crossing continue to bring residents out in droves. Past events have included car shows, fashion shows and movie nights. A wide range of people have purchased homes at Morgan Crossing, from downsizers to young firsttime buyers. This makes for a good mix of people around and plenty of opportunities to chat with new people, Woolley says. Cost-savings are a big thing at

“

People fall in love with the village,” says Director of Sales Bryan Wooley. “It sets Morgan Crossing apart.” Morgan Crossing as well, as you won’t need a car to complete all of your errands, and you may find yourself entertaining at home a lot more often instead of heading out on the town because everything is right at your fingertips. This also saves you a lot of time, meaning you can spend more of it doing the things you really want to do rather than rushing around trying to get everything done before finally being able to head home after a long day. For more information, visit the real estate presentation centre at 103157755 Croyden Dr., South Surrey, next to Thrifty Foods in the village, open daily (except Fridays) from noon until 5 p.m. Condos start at just $269,900 during the promotion.

Kwantlen First Nation and Langley sign development deal Seyem’ Qwantlen Development Ltd. to open café and cultural centre at Bedford Landing Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times

Kwantlen members Chris and Michelle Thomas performed a traditional song at a Monday Township of Langley meeting that unveiled a new business partnership between the municipality and First Nation band.

To the sound of drumming and a traditional First Nations song, the Township of Langley and Kwantlen First Nation closed a deal Monday afternoon in council chambers that will see a wholly-owned Kwantlen partnership operate a cafe along with an arts and cultural centre in Fort Langley. The agreement between the Township and Seyem’ Qwantlen Development Ltd. will see the facility built in the new Bedford Landing Amenity Space at 23255 Billy Brown Rd. The 2,000 square foot plaza space was built by ParkLane Homes as part of its Bedford Landing Phase 4 residential development and was recently turned over to the Township for public use. It provides a public access gateway to Bedford Landing that can be used for events, festivals, water sport regattas, or market places.

VANCOUVER 1020 W. Broadway 604-267-7860

The Kwantlen company was the winner when the Township made a call for proposals last summer to find a tenant/ leaseholder for the space. “It wasn’t something given out,” Councillor Steve Ferguson commented Monday. Seyem’ Qwantlen aims to have the facility open by June. The company plans to call the café and cultural centre Lelem’ (pronounced “laylam”), which means home or house, a place to gather, eat, and share. Under the terms of the lease agreement, the Township will receive a monthly lease payment over the term of up to 10 years. The Township will get up to 1,000 hours of free access each year.

in addition to renting it for private and commercials uses. “Our concept is a space that brings uniqueness, diversity, and added richness to the community of Fort Langley, which we feel will complement the neighbouring businesses as well as bring in new customers to the region,” said Tumia Knott, a Kwantlen First Nation councillor and president of the Seyem’ Qwantlen Business Group. “This will be a place for community programming, art exhibits and classes, and providing coffee and refreshments for those wishing to relax or take on their journey through the nearby river trail or stroll through the village,” Knott said. “Our goal was to make the amenity space an animated place that will bring year-round life and vitality to the Fort Langley waterfront,” said David Leavers, the Township’s Director of Recreation, Culture, and Parks. “This is a facility that will attract residents and visitors to Fort Langley and will complement the activities of local rowing and paddling groups and Fort-to-Fort Trail users.”

Envision Financial accepting scholarship applications $33,000 will be distributed to local students; deadline to apply is February 28 Envision Financial is continuing its commitment to providing $33,000 in education awards to local students. For the 17th consecutive year, Envision is offering the award money to secondary and postsecondary students in B.C. “At Envision, we believe that it’s important to

recognize those who are committed to academic excellence and community leadership,” said Susan Byrom, manager of community investment for Envision Financial. “That’s why for nearly 20 years Envision has proudly provided education awards to exemplary secondary and post-

secondary students. “These awards are just one way we can recognize the positive impact that they have made — and will continue to make — in our local communities.” Recipients say the awards help relieve the financial burden of attending postsecondary school. “Receiving an education award from Envision helped remove the financial burden of university and

I felt that I was rewarded for my academic feats and my community involvement,” said Kathryn Lalonde, a previous award recipient. “This award enabled me to experience UBC to the fullest, by not having to worry about how I would pay my tuition.” Fourteen education awards of $2,000 each will be presented to qualifying

secondary and postsecondary students who demonstrate outstanding school and community involvement. The competition is open to students who are members of Envision Financial, or the dependent of an Envision Financial member, in good standing prior to July 1, 2012. New this year is the addition of two $2,500 education awards to secondary and post-secondary

students who actively volunteer with their local food bank. The competition is open to students who have outstanding community volunteerism with their local food bank in communities where Envision operates. Applicants do not need to be a member of Envision Financial to qualify. Applications and full qualifying

criteria can be picked up at any Envision branch or on the Envision website at www. envisionfinancial.ca/ education. All scholarship submissions are due by 5 p.m. on Feb. 28. Since 1996, Envision Financial has disbursed nearly a half million dollars in funding for high school and postsecondary students across British Columbia.

Since beginning in 2005, Warehouse One has donated more than 71,000 pairs of jeans to local shelters. The Langley Warehouse One is located at #150 20202 66 Ave.

Youth group to decide grant awards in our communities,” said David Dryden, Chair of the new Fraser Valley Council. “Coast Capital Savings is entrusting us with a huge responsibility by giving us a say in what programs and services to fund in order to do the most good for the most people.” The Young Leaders Community Council will meet quarterly. Emerging young leaders in the local community and at Coast Capital competed with their peers to be selected for a prestigious term on the Council. “Coast Capital’s Community Leadership Strategy is aimed at building a richer future for youth in our communities,” said Maureen Young, Coast Capital’s manager for community partnerships and investments. “Who better to decide what young people need than community-minded young leaders? Ultimately, this initiative is about giving back to our communities, but it’s also about realizing the leadership potential of our youth.” Young said Coast Capital is also launching a similar council for the Metro Vancouver region.

Youth Community Council members all 30 and younger A group of youth will now have huge input into where Coast Capital grants are given. Coast Capital is creating Young Community Council, all 30 years and younger, who will review grant applications and make funding recommendations on youth issues that need the most support in their communities. The council consists of four representatives from the local community and four Coast Capital employees. The Fraser Valley Young Leaders Community Council follows a successful pilot Council launched in Victoria in early December 2011. To date, the Vancouver Island Council has approved $220,000 in grants to 18 Island organizations — much of it aimed at supporting youth-focused programs and services. “We were all selected because we care about what’s happening

Spartans earn spot in post-season dance It remains home sweet home for the Trinity Western Spartans women’s volleyball team as they improved to 9-0 at the Langley Events Centre. The Spartans won twice over the visiting Manitoba Bisons, improving the team to 14-2 in Canada West conference play and allowing them to maintain second spot in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport national rankings. They also clinched a post-season berth. Trinity Western won 3-0 (25-18,25-17,2522) and 3-1 (25-22,26-28,25-22,25-16). on Friday and Saturday at the LEC. Leading the way on Saturday was Alicia Perrin, who had a career-high 19 kills. This came 24 hours after she struggled with just two kills. “Last night was kind of a struggle but

I feel we (setter Kelci French) got our connection back, which is good,” Perrin said. “She started setting me a lot higher, which is what I needed. I felt like I was hitting really low and I wasn’t making good choices. “Kelci and I talked about it and changed a few things and it worked much better.” Amy Ott had 10 kills, nine digs and four blocks while Nicole Bazin had five kills and a match-high nine blocks. Amber Brown had eight kills to go along with a matchhigh three aces and a team-high 14 digs. French finished with a career-high 45 assists and five digs. “I think we did a really good job of managing the ball off of their serve,” said Trinity Western coach Ryan Hofer.

“It was one of our better passing nights and we needed that because they’re a really good blocking team.” Royal Richardson and Amber Brown combined for 28 kills in Friday’s straightsets victory. Richardson had 15 kills and a .591 hitting percentage while Brown also had a match-high 12 digs and three aces. ••••• The Trinity Western Spartans basketball teams both picked up wins in Lethbridge, before losing the next night in Calgary. The women’s team used a strong third quarter to defeat the Lethbridge Pronghorns 76-63 behind the impressive stat line from Holly Strom, who finished with 18 points, 11 rebounds, five steals, three assists and a pair of blocked shots. Emily Knauff (16 points) and Sarah

Cleveland (15 points) also had solid games. “We played a strong team game tonight with everyone contributing to positive defensive plays and smart offensive looks. I was really proud of the focus the team showed in two major areas: the first being coming back from two nearly double digit deficits in the first half, and the second being maintaining our lead and winning the game with confidence rather than just feeling as though we survived,” said coach Cheryl Jean-Paul. “I thought the starters made a statement with their scoring looks, but we had so many little plays by everyone else right when we needed them which is why this win is a great one.” continued, PAGE 37

The men’s team used a strong start and dominating finish to beat the Pronghorns 96-72. “Everything that we did today we did really strong. Our strength is our whole team and the guys really distributed the ball well,” said coach Scott Allen. Mark Perrin led the way with 33 points, including seven threepointers. He also had 11 rebounds. The next night in Calgary saw the Spartans furious fourthquarter comeback come up one point short, as they lost 93-92 to the Dinos. Tonner Jackson led the way with 36 points for the Spartans, who fell to 5-9 in conference play. The Trinity Western women’s team also lost in Calgary, 78-56, to see their record drop to 3-11. Chelsey Olsen had a career-high 22 points in the losing effort. Both Spartan basketball teams host the Mount Royal Cougars at the Langley Events Centre on Friday and Saturday. ••••• The Trinity Western Spartans had all facets of their game going and the result was an upset victory over the topranked and previously unbeaten Selkirk Saints. The Spartans men’s hockey team edged the Saints 2-1 at the Castlegar Recreation Centre on Jan. 18 The loss was the first in 14 B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League games for the Saints. Cody Stephenson and Trevor Beaupre scored while Tim Zwiers made 48 saves. The team wrapped up the road trip with a 6-2 loss to Eastern Washington. Stephenson and Jake Harcoff had the Spartan goals. The team takes on SFU at the LEC tomorrow (Friday).

Coquitlam Express forward Travis Stephens bears down on Langley Rivermen goaltender James Barr on a breakaway during BCHL action at the Poirier Sports Complex. Barr made this save, one of 28 on the night, as the Rivermen rallied for a 4-2 victory.

Rivermen derail Express Gary ahuja Times Sports

Jakob Reichert’s highlight reel goal snapped a 2-2 tie and send the Langley Rivermen to victory. During a third-period power play — and with less than seven minutes remaining — Reichert gathered the puck at the Langley blue-line, split a pair of Coquitlam Express defenders with a pretty deke and roofed the puck over the shoulder of goalie Cole Huggins. And that would stand as the winner in a 4-2 victory after Mario Puskarich scored into the empty net. The victory was on Friday night at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre in Coquitlam and it puts the Rivermen three

points clear of the Express for the fourth and final playoff spot in the BCHL’s Mainland Division. Langley also has four games in hand on Coquitlam. James Barr finished with 28 saves, including a clutch stop late in regulation with Langley hanging on to the onegoal lead. Adam Rossignol and Ben Israel had the home side up 2-0 after 20 minutes, but that all changed in a 35-second span in the middle stanza. On the first goal, Trevor Cope fed Matt Ustaski from behind the net to get the Rivermen on the board. And then Puskarich set up Evan Campbell at the side of the net and Campbell made a power move to the backhand and rifled

home the equalizer on a power play. “Our guys kept focused and they did what they needed to do,” said Langley coach and general manager Bobby Henderson. “They clawed back in and it was a solid win all-around.” The fact the team had multiple players playing well also impressed Henderson. “A couple of different guys stepped up,” he said. The win was the fifth in the past seven games for Langley and the third straight away from home. Prior to that, the Rivermen had just two wins in 16 games away from the confines of home.
