Murder victim was pastor’s son

Jackman appeals murder conviction

Tops In The Valley

Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

A 21-year-old Tsawwassen man has been identified as the victim of a murder which took place at a Fernridge home in Langley last week which also contained a marijuana grow operation. South Delta Baptist Church pastor Paul Johnson confirmed that his son, Taylor Daniel Johnson, is the murder victim. Johnson said investigators have told him that his son was house-sitting and was simply “in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Johnson said he doesn’t know the details of his son’s death and that police have not released the information to the family. He added that police have nevertheless been kind to his family during this time and that Delta Police Chief Jim Cessford visited Monday to offer comfort and support. Johnson moved with his wife Wendy and six children to Tsawwassen from Tucson, Arizona, about five and a half years ago.

A man serving life in prison for the murder of Langley’s Kyle Barber had an appeal heard last week. Albert Jacob Jackman, 26, is appealing his conviction of first degree murder of Barber. His case was heard in the Court of Appeal on Monday and Tuesday. No decision has been made. In June 2011, Jackman was convicted of first degree murder while Gregory Barrett, 32, was found guilty of manslaughter for being an accessory. In finding the two men guilty as charged, Justice Sunni StrombergStein rejected defence claims that Barrett and Jackman did not mean Kyle to kill anyone Barber when they paid Barber and his girlfriend a late night visit, concerning a robbery at a barn next door that Barrett leased. The pair said they were greeted politely at first, but then Barber suddenly ran to a bedroom and grabbed a pistol-grip shotgun from under his bed. They say the injuries that cost Barber his life were inflicted because Jackman was defending himself. Barber’s girlfriend testified that the pair forced their way in and Jackman repeatedly assaulted Barber while Barrett held her in a bear hug grip. She said Jackman beat Barber about the face with scissors before the final, fatal struggle where her boyfriend was repeatedly stabbed and died of massive blood loss. continued, PAGE 9

Do We Need to Worry About Radon Gas in B.C.? Radon Gas is a naturally occurring odorless, tasteless gas that forms from traces of uranium in soils and rocks. It is measured in bequerels per cubic metre (Bq/m3). It is carcinogenic and is thought to be responsible for about 16% of all lung cancers in Canada, according to Health Canada. The level of Radon inside a home typically ranges from 30 to 100 Bq/ m3. Health Canada’s guidelines recommend a limit of 200 Bq/m3 and 100 Bq/m3 for new homes. Radon gas enters the home from the soil because the air pressure inside your home is usually lower than in the soil surrounding the foundation. This difference in pressure draws air and other gases, including radon, from the soil into your home. It enters through cracks in foundation walls and floor slabs, gaps around pipes, support posts and window casements; and floor drains, sumps or cavities inside walls. The type of soil under a home affects radon levels because different soils have different concentrations of uranium and because radon gas flows more easily through some soils than others. In addition, the area of the home that is in contact with the soil will also affect the amount of radon that enters the home. Radon concentrations can vary substantially from one home to the next-door home. Radon tends to build up in the winter, when houses are closed up tighter, as opposed to summer when houses tend to be open more, allowing the radon to escape the home and reducing the build-up. There are four different types of testing kits available to test for radon, including charcoal detectors, Passive and Active Alpha-Track Detectors, and Electret Ion Chamber Detectors. These kits allow you to collect samples over varying periods of time and they are then sent out to a lab for analysis. I’m told that the entire testing process can be done for around $200 or less. There also are Continuous Monitors that are used by professional remediation companies that, although more expensive, are very useful in follow-up measurements and to monitor the success of completed radon reduction work. These kits can sometimes be found in health care, hardware, or home building stores and on-line. Radon risk increases with the duration of elevated radon exposure: If radon concentrations are above 600 Bq/m3 Health Canada recommends remedial work within one year; If radon concentrations are

between 200 Bq/m3 and 600 Bq/m3 they recommend remedial work within 2 years. If radon concentrations are only a little higher than they should be some lifestyle changes may be enough to reduce them to acceptable levels. Basements are the main focal point as they are the part of the home in direct contact with the soil source. Renovating existing basement floors, especially earth floors, sealing cracks and openings in basement walls and floors, around pipes and drains are a good start. Also exhaust fans, fireplaces and anything else that increases the pressure difference between the house and the soil can cause more radon to be drawn into the home. Using these less often can reduce radon concentrations. The main concentration for radon in Canada is on the Canadian Shield, and areas like the BC Interior, Winnipeg, and parts of Nova Scotia. This is probably because they have large underground uranium deposits and porous soil. The Canadian towns with the most experience for dealing with this issue are Port Hope and Port Granby in Ontario. Port Hope contains large amounts of low-level radioactive waste sites and contaminated soil. Port Hope’s Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Office (LLRW) established in 1982 has had substantial experience, working with local contractors, in radon remediation. Encouragingly, experience from Port Hope and other locations in the US shows that radon concentrations can be brought below 200 Bq/m3 in practically any dwelling using current techniques and that Radon is a manageable problem. So, we don’t need to worry about Radon Gas here in the Lower Mainland. However it may be an issue in other parts of BC. For more information you can visit Health Canada online. Locally, The Radon Environmental Management Corporation (http://www.radoncorp.com/), a Vancouver-based company offers competitively priced testers and, through the Landauer Corp., has access to lab analysis results. There is also additional information on this subject on the website for those who want to know more and, of course, there’s an App for that.

Secondary suite fees move closer KrisTyl ClarK Times contributor

A Langley RCMP cruiser was involved in a collision with another vehicle on Monday morning, after the officer driving it attempted a turn and clipped the front end of an eastbound vehicle at Glover Road and the Langley Bypass.

Police car crash Monday

Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

A Langley police officer and the driver of an SUV were both taken to hospital Monday morning with minor injuries, after a crash at the intersection of Glover Road and Langley Bypass. The preliminary investigation suggests the officer was driving westbound on the Langley Bypass when he observed a traffic violation. He

attempted to negotiate a turn and his vehicle clipped the front end of an eastbound vehicle, said Cpl. Holly Marks. Glover Road was closed to southbound traffic for much of the day. ICARS (Integrated Collision Analyst Reconstruction Team) is investigating. Anyone who witnessed the collision and has not yet spoken to police is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

The ongoing debate about secondary suites in Langley continued to heat up during an evening Township council meeting on Monday, Feb. 25. Council gave third reading to charge an annual fee to landlords operating a rental unit — a motion that Councillor Kim Richter argued should be amended to include consideration for a hardship appeal process, adding even more fuel to the fire. Richter expressed concern the fee — expected to range between $350 and $580, depending on sewer and water hookups — could be a disadvantage to many in the community, including lower income families, those living on rural properties who don’t have access to water, sewer or garbage pickup, as well as residents who have their elderly parents residing with them. “I think there is some considerations we need to put in place here and the first consideration is an amendment to the bylaw to include some sort of appeal process.” The motion was struck down by fellow councillors, including Councillor Bob Long, who said “this may not be the perfect time

in history to put this in. “I don’t know how much it’s going to mess up the budget if it doesn’t go through,” he said. Ramin Seifi, the director of community development, noted that there is an enshrined mechanism in place to finalize and clarify cases where a family member is occupying a secondary suite and is not generating revenue. “If it is deemed to not be incurring or imposing additional burden on the municipality, there would be no requirement for a licensing fee,” he said. Mayor Jack Froese expressed concern that having one home with an exemption to the fee would put them at an unfair advantage to their neighbour — a sentiment shared by Councillor Michelle Sparrow. “It’s $20 to $40 a month we are talking about,” said Sparrow matter-of-factly. “I don’t see how that is hardship enough that we need start giving exemptions — I think this fee does cover the extra costs that are incurred for these services as well as to make sure these suites are legal and safe for our community.” Councillor Charlie Fox argued that those citizens who have already registered their suites shouldn’t be dinged the fee. continued, PAGE 4

Prisoner gets nine-year sentence for killing A man who viciously attacked another inmate at a Maple Ridge prison will not get extra credit for time spent in segregation. Supreme Court Justice Robert Crawford ruled Friday there was no evidence to justify a credit of 1.5 days for each day Alexander Dinu Tanasescu has spent in custody. “I was driven to the conclusion that he lost his privileges because of his own circumstances,” said Justice Crawford, delivering a judgment in New Westminster Supreme Court. Charged with second-degree murder, Tanasescu, 30, pleaded guilty to manslaughter for the brutal attack that eventually killed Blair Thomas Cody, brother of

former Langley school trustee Stacey Cody. He was sentenced to nine years in prison but credited for the 922 days he has spent in custody, reducing the sentence to six years, five months and 21 days. Looking directly at Tanasescu, Justice Crawford urged him to change his life. “It’s a turning point for Mr. Tanasescu — 30 years — you’ve got a lot of life to live,” he said. Cody was attacked on May 19, 2010, a few hours after he arrived at the 256th Street provincial prison for breaching probation on a drug possession charge. The court heard the fight was sparked after Cody called Tanasescu a “goof.” It was also payback because Cody had attacked a friend of Tanasescu while incarcerated at the North Fraser Pre-Trial Centre.

just arrived at the prison for breaching probation on a drug possession charge. He had a long record of violence, including stabbings and assaults. Cody’s sister Stacey sobbed loudly as Justice Crawford detailed the vicious beating her brother received. She heaved a sigh of relief when Tanasescu was denied the extra credit. Quoting from her victim impact statement, Justice Crawford noted the loss of her youngest brother has been devastating. The sister travelled daily from Langley to visit her brother while he lay in a coma at Royal Columbian Hospital. She lost wages and eventually lost her job. She miscarried twice. “The pain will never leave her,” Justice Crawford noted.

Tanasescu was captured on video landing a punch that knocked Cody to the floor. He then “stomped, kicked and punched” his head. He was seen leaving twice only to return seconds later and continue the assault in front of prison guards, landing blows to Cody’s head 25 times. The attack left a boot print on Cody’s face. The 36-year-old never gained consciousness and remained in a vegetative state until he died 10 months later. Originally from Romania, Tanasescu’s parents fled their country in 1992 and arrived in Canada as refugees when he was 12. He grew up in Penticton and Prince George. His criminal record begins as a youth at age 13. Cody, the man he killed, was no angel either. When Cody was attacked, he had

SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS WORKING TOGETHER FOR STUDENT SUCCESS

604-534-7891 • www.sd35.bc.ca

Secondary Students from across the Langley School District gathered recently at Walnut Grove Secondary for the Together We Stand: Youth Empower Youth conference.

District Offers Thanks for Community Calendar Feedback

District Trades Training Opportunities The Langley School District is proud to host a variety of training opportunities for students throughout Langley. The District continues to work hard to generate awareness among students and families of apprenticeship opportunities and accredited training programs available.

The Langley School District would like to offer our thanks to all those who took the time to provide feedback on the school calendar dialogue these past few weeks. We are extremely pleased with the level of response we received from the community, which included hundreds of emails, tweets and twitter posts, nearly two hundred attendees to our District open houses, and thousands of submissions to our online survey.

Each year, dozens of grade seven and eight students take part in junior trades exploration programs offered in partnership with Kwantlen Polytechnic and the University of the Fraser Valley.

Superintendent Suzanne Hoffman is currently making use of all the information gained during this process in the drafting of the report that will be presented to the Board of Education in advance of their Regular Meeting of March 12, 2013. Both the Superintendent’s report and the results of the calendar survey will be made public at this Board meeting.

Dozens of secondary students also participate in trades exploration workshops. Once students decide that a trade may be of interest, the District offers two types of trade programs, Secondary School Apprenticeship (SSA) and ACE-IT. The SSA Program allows secondary students to obtain on the job training in any trade at any location. The District ACE-IT Programs meanwhile are built and taught by Langley teachers and provide the opportunity to earn both secondary school and technical training credit in trades including piping/ plumbing, hairdressing, carpentry, auto service technician, horticulture, electrical and roofing.

Discussions around potential change are never easy and the calendar dialogue process has been an incredible learning experience for the Langley School District. Though initially it was the District’s intent to foster a discussion around the educational opportunities that a calendar change might present, it became apparent quickly that a calendar change would deeply affect rooted cultural norms and family lifestyles within the community to an extent that had not been fully appreciated previously.

After eight years, man turns himself in

A man who has eluded police for almost eight years turned himself in last Tuesday. Jason Burkard, 38, appeared in court on Thursday, Feb. 28 after being arrested on a warrant that goes back to June 13, 2005. The warrant relates to an incident which took place on Nov. 25, 2004. Langley RCMP had received numerous calls of an erratic driver in the Aldergrove area. One of the police cars responding to the call was hit by this vehicle as it tried to evade capture. The officer was not successful in stopping the vehicle. Later on, it was spotted near the Greater Vancouver Zoo on 264 Street. Police received a report the Honda had collided with another vehicle. The vehicle entered the zoo parking lot and the driver fled. Witnesses at the scene directed police to Burkard’s location, and he was arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle, flight from police,

dangerous driving after fleeing from police and causing a pursuit. He was held in custody until March 1, 2005 when he was found guilty of possession of stolen property over $5,000, dangerous driving, and theft under $5,000. He was sentenced to an 18-month conditional sentence order (CSO), which meant he did not go to jail. On May 17, 2005, he attended Chilliwack Community Corrections as part of his CSO, and was directed to re-attend a week later. He failed to attend on that date ad the arrest warrant was issued on June 13, 2005. Fast forward seven years and eight months. In all that time, police found no evidence of any contact between Burkard and any government agencies. Continued efforts to execute the warrant led Langley’s Crime Reduction Unit officers to locate Burkard in Hope. He then turned himself in.

“I’d be accepting this bylaw as it stands right now.” A report on the proposed fee by Robert Cesaretti, manager of permit licence and inspection services, estimates the number of illegal suites has almost doubled in six years. According to the report, there are currently 10,000 to 12,000 illegal secondary suites in the township.

Mayor happy with new fees

“I think that if you’ve been up front and you’ve done the right thing you shouldn’t be paying when someone next door is doing the wrong thing,” he said. Mayor Jack Froese didn’t see a need to make any amendments to the bylaw.

How can SD35 best support our LGBTQ community?

Though the District has heard from many who have expressed an appreciation for the opportunity to have this discussion, there are those who have also made it clear that the District has more work to do in order to earn the trust of families. It is our sincere hope that the outcome of this process will be seen as a positive step in this regard.

In our ongoing work to promote safe and caring schools, the staff and the Board of Education of the Langley School District are currently examining ways to increase support for diversity in our system.

The District extends our further appreciation to all of our staff, families and community partners who continue to engage with the District on this and other issues, as we work together towards the development and success of well-rounded Langley students.

As part of a process of consultation, we would like to invite the Langley community to participate in a dialogue on how to best support LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning) youth, staff and families in our schools. Share your thoughts online at http://bit.ly/SD35LGBTQ

Victim was a ‘gentle, kind and considerate’ man from PAGE 1

Taylor Johnson was an avid sports enthusiast, playing rugby at South Delta Secondary when he attended there, and previously at Tucson High in Arizona. He also enjoyed snowboarding, ice hockey and baseball. “He was the kind of kid that was really well-liked by all of his friends,” said Johnson. “He was a very endearing, very soft-hearted kid.” Taylor was currently attending the Nimbus School of Recording Arts to pursue a career in music and was due to graduate this month. “He worked at the church part-time as a janitor, just being a typical 21-year-old trying to do odd jobs and so forth,” said Johnson. Police investigators have told Johnson that the people they have interviewed have all spoken highly of Taylor’s character. Rick Burdett, senior associate pastor of South Delta Baptist Church, said Taylor

was well-loved by a wide range of people. “Everybody who knew him liked him,” he said. “He was gentle, kind, he was very considerate.” Burdett said pastor Johnson will now take a leave from his regular church duties to grieve but will return for Easter services. “It’s been very traumatic for our church community, and the community at large,” he said. “I mean, it’s just a shocking thing.” Homicide investigators were called to a Fernridge home around 10 p.m. last Tuesday (Feb. 26) in the 2000 block of 200 Street to check on the well-being of a man who was staying at the residence. Police found a deceased man and a grow-op inside the rural home. A press release issued by IHIT on Monday (March 4) said Taylor does not possess a criminal record and that the investigation has revealed he was a “caretaker for the

vacant property” where he was murdered. An autopsy has been conducted but the cause of death is not being released. A neighbour of the home where Taylor was murdered who identified herself as Mandy said a “Troy” lived at the home, which also contains

a large barn in the back. She had no idea a grow-op was next door. However, she did note that the man living next door didn’t appear to work and was always home. “But there wasn’t cars coming and going from the

home,” Mandy said.“Troy is a very nice guy,” she said. “He would call me if my dogs got out.” She also noted the grounds of the home were kept very neat and the lawn had been freshly mowed. Her neighbour has a border collie and police weren’t

commenting on the whereabouts of a dog living at that home. Mandy said her neighbour appeared to be in his late 40s or early 50s. IHIT said it will not be identifying owners or tenants of the property. A funeral service for Taylor Johnson

will take place this Sunday, March 10, at 3 p.m. at South Delta Baptist Church (1988 56th St., Tsawwassen). If you have any information about this murder call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551IHIT (4448). — with files from Monique Tamminga, Langley Times

Birthstone for March

Aquamarine

Aquamarine is the birthstone for March and belongs to the beryl gem group, which comes in a range of colours from light blue to a bluish green. Brazil is one of the primary sources as well as Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania among others. Ideal for everyday wear, since the stone is quite durable. The ancients believed that the aquamarine was the symbol of youth and hope and brings the wearer love and affection. The name comes from Latin meaning “Water of the sea.” They were also considered a talisman for seafarers.

Good news on debt

Responsible coaching

angley School District appears to have paid down its accumulated debt, well ahead of schedule. This is good news for the students of the district, who should always be the primary focus of teachers, administrators and trustees. They need to have the best possible conditions in which to learn, and it is hard to offer that when a portion of the budget must be devoted to paying down a debt that never should have been accumulated. The $13.5 million debt came about because of inattention to details by the board, its outside auditors and senmilor management. Improper accounting procedures in a number of areas caused money to be spent that shouldn’t have been, and it took some time for the whole matter to come out. Inexplicably, the board of the day renewed the contract of the superintendent after the matter of shoddy accounting and an accumulated deficit came out. She was then let go by the next board, at the cost of a significant severance payment. Neither of these decisions was good use of taxpayers’ funds, and neither helped students. However, things have improved substantially. The auditor general helped the district set up a repayment plan over four years, and secretarytreasurer David Green has been on top of district financials. He has received unqualified support from the board and this has led to a disciplined approach to paying down the debt. The good news is that by September, the debt will likely not be hanging over the district’s head. Funds it receives from taxpayers can actually be used for educating students, without some being funded off to pay off the debt. Trustees and senior administrators need to stay focused on offering the best education to students at the lowest possible cost. They should not fall temptation to reckless spending, but stick to the discipline they have shown in tackling the deficit. Teachers and others who actually deliver services to students should be commended for making do with less and helping the district to get the debt paid off. Hopefully, they will now see the benefits of this fiscal discipline in their classrooms. Everyone pulled together to help turn the page on a sorry chapter in Langley School District history. Now, more than ever, it is time to focus on the students and make Langley schools the best they can possibly be.

ou may not recognize the name Martin Tremblay, but you probably remember his claim to fame. Tremblay is the Vancouver peewee hockey coach arrested last year for deliberately tripping a pre-teen opposing player in a handshake lineup, hurting the child’s wrist enough that he required a cast. Tremblay’s behaviour is hardly typical of the type of person coaching hockey and other sports in our community. But as the recent incident at Kerry Park demonstrated, coach rage is not something completely foreign to Cowichan’s rinks, courts and fields. And it should be. It must be. It starts with the people in charge: the volunteers running the league, the parents paying the bills and the umbrella associations overseeing sport at a provincial and national level. These are the people who must cultivate a culture of zero-tolerance for this kind of behaviour, a culture that insists coaches behave like role models or they have no place being on the sideline, or behind the bench. The price for stepping over that line should be dismissal. There are all kinds of reasons for being frustrated with missed calls. Few justify anger and certainly none justify verbal or physical abuse of players or officials — men, women and children who, by and large, are doing the best they can to make the game fair and fun. Judge Patrick Chen gave Tremblay 15 days in a correctional facility as “a signal to other parents heavily involved in the sporting activities of their children that they must be seen as models of good and acceptable behaviour.” He’s got it right. Coaches are given a trust. Their job is not to win games. Their job is to instill values like teamwork, effort, sportsmanship and fair play. Their value is not measured on any scoreboard, but in the number of solid adult citizens they help produce for the community. —Cowichan News Leader Pictorial

Wage restraint better than a freeze Editor: The editorial in The Times (“Yet more property tax increases, Feb. 26) targets negotiations with unionized staff. It fails to recognize that these individuals too face the inflationary pressures of health care (MSP), Hydro, ICBC, and the GST/PST fiasco. Wage restraint is a fairer expectation than the punitive “wage freeze” that you advocate. You also fail to recognize that much of this negotiation is determined at the regional (Metro) level, or in the case of policing, by federal mandate beyond the control of locallyelected councillors.

Opportunity does exist at the local level to restrain compensation for management and the mayor and council, but such attempts receive no support from the mayor and councillors of Langley City, and go unreported by your newspaper. Your editorial does raise questions about raising taxes to finance aging infrastructure. You suggest that this could be financed by casino revenues instead. This is an interesting question but inaccurately leaves the impression that Langley City should continue a capital dependency on a source that has

shown recent decline and may be jeopardized by future rival development. Certainly once Langley City paid off its debt (largely accumulated from infrastructure projects), there should have been a complete review of the casino revenues policy and the allocation of funds. However, a number of years later, there has been no visible support from the mayor or other members of council to conduct this discussion in the public realm. Councillor Dave Hall, Langley City

Valley commuters pay for new highway Editor: The situation on the Port Mann Bridge and Highway 1 feels like highway robbery to me. I live in Langley and work in Burnaby and travel the bridge twice a day, as do quite a few people I work with. Many are really not happy about paying the bridge toll — now more than ever. At this point I and many others are not getting to work any earlier on at least 95 per cent of our trips. The bottleneck has just moved from before the bridge to after it — starting at the Brunette off-ramp. So why are we paying at this point? Basically I feel we should be refunded the money we’ve already paid. All the construction work through the Burnaby stretch is not complete. If there isn’t a major improvement to the flow when that’s finished, then someone didn’t do their homework properly.

Also, try getting onto Lougheed Highway west via the Brunette off-ramp. It’s a joke — why no exit to the west straight after the bridge? You can only go east or to United. All this is apart from the fact that it’s Highway 1. As far as I’ve heard, it’s owned by the federal government and we should not be paying for it at all. If money is needed for such a large project, then every crossing should be tolled a small amount for any improvements. In regards to the toll fee, has anyone looked into if the cost of the toll is based only on the cost of the new bridge itself, or is it based on the overall cost of the whole project? There are improvements and offramps along the Coquitlam and Burnaby stretch. If people from here are paying for the whole thing with tolls,

it’s a double whammy to anyone living on the Fraser Valley side of the bridge. Everyone living in Coquitlam and Burnaby using all those new off-ramps and the widened highway are having us pay for it. They get the benefit for free. I emailed our MLA Mary Polak weeks ago and you’d think there would be some sort of reply. Even an auto reply would have been appreciated. I finally heard back after sending you this letter. Hopefully if enough people get up and say enough, then something will be done. Marc Botham, Langley Editor’s note — The federal government contributes to maintaining Highway 1, but does not own it. As for what the tolls pay for, the province says the tolls go towards the cost of the overall project.

Woman could use some extra help Editor: Beverly Miles, a Langley resident aged 47, has been diagnosed with dermatomyositis. It is a rare connectivetissue disease that affects mostly muscle ability and strength. She has also had cancer. It also causes skin discoloration. She is in the medical care of a skin specialist, dermatologist, radiologist, and oncologist. All are in the Vancouver/ Burnaby area. She is currently on Canada disability and struggles with everyday expenses. Now she also has Port Mann tolls to account for. Her car is in need of mechanical repair and has broken down while commuting to her doctors’ appointments. Since her diagnosis, she has been supplementing her income with The

Superstore Superbucks. She finds these vouchers in the garbage at the gas bar of our local store. It helps her purchase groceries at the store. While in remission for ovarion cancer, she also delivered The Times newspapers weekly for additional income. The government allows a disabled person to earn $800 above their annual disability income. Beverly cannot walk the paper route distances at this time, and with regret had to give up this employment recently. She is currently going through chemotherapy treatment and is looking for suitable employment within the community. Beverly worked in the horse industry before her illness. We, the members of her family, sup-

port and aid her as much as possible, but we are looking for help. Beverly’s mom also aids and helps emotionally support her other daughter, who has bipolar disorder. Beverly is very willing to work. She continues to keep a smile on her face and stays optimistic. Dermatomyositis can stay in remission. It affects less than four people in a million and was not known to many Langley Memorial Hospital workers. Her future supervision and care will remain mostly at Burnaby Hospital and in that area. Any help that will be available to her would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached at 604-818-5858. Chris Konyk, Langley

Dog bites ignored Editor: Recently. members of my family have been subjected to bites from their landlord’s dog. They rent the basement suite and, in accordance with their rental agreement, have use of the laundry facilities two days a week. However when they are doing their laundry, the landlord’s dog is not restricted from that area and has bitten them on four separate occasions. There is a gate to keep the dog away from that area on the days provided in their rental agreement, but the landlord doesn’t put it up. This makes this common area in question unsafe from their biting dog. According to LAPS, because this a private home, it is just fine for this dog to bite them because the dog belongs to the landlord. If this is how animal control works, I believe it needs a serious overhaul. According to the tenancy act, this is a part of their common area on those days and should not have restrictions. According to LAPS, it is private property of the landlord and is a civil matter, and they will not get involved in controlling this biting dog. I personally wonder what my taxes are paying them to do? Denise Peter, Langley

Kid’s view on year-round schooling

Editor: I do not think it’s fair to keep kids home for half of what should be summer vacation. It messes up family time with family from a different city. As well as messing up friendly visits, it also messes up children’s health. Without full days off mid-summer, kids aren’t getting enough vitamin D from the sun. They will also become unhealthy from lack of excercise. Kids will wake up early in the morning and go to school, then come home completely exhausted from schoolwork and be too tired to go outside. Please let us keep our summers. Thank you. Sidney, age 9, student at Langley Fine Arts School The Times welcomes letters to the editor. Send them to newsroom@ langleytimes.com

School district pays off its debt

Monique TaMMinga

They aren’t popping the champagne corks just yet, but the Langley School District has paid off its deficit, two years ahead of schedule. The announcement came at Tuesday’s Board of Education meeting, while secretary treasurer David Green outlined the district’s $182 million 2012/13 budget. “We will have retired the deficit and balanced the budget, but we have to wait until June 30th’s financials to make it official,” said Green. “That is hugely commendable,”said trustee Alison McVeigh. Board chair Wendy Johnson thanked students, staff and teachers for going through these challenging times. “It’s been tough on the sys-

tem, our schools have felt it,” said Johnson. “Thank you to our teachers, our support staff, our administration. The good news is we paid it off two years ahead of time.” Through accounting errors, the district was challenged with an unexpected $13.5 million deficit that forced the government to step in and the Auditor General set up a repayment plan that the district would have to abide by. The payments were to go until 2014. But all this good news should be met with caution, said Green to trustees. “There are significant cost pressures coming,” he said. An increase of $1.2 million for teachers’ pensions with bargaining for teachers to start next week on top of that. In the recently announced provincial budget, MSP pre-

miums were going up. There was also no new funding for education. “Utilities are also going up on April 1,” Green said. The impact on the provincially mandated co-operative gains program is yet to be determined, said Green. All school districts are required to pay for wage increases for teachers but with no help from the province and they aren’t allowed to cut any services. This could potentially mean $7 million chunk out of Langley’s budget without cutting services. The budget means the school system will have the same level of services it did last year, with no extras. Trustee Megan Dykeman was the only one to vote against the amended budget, saying it isn’t good enough to stay with the “status quo.”

A distraught student caused a lockdown at Langley Fundamental Middle School on Friday. But all ended well, with the

student being returned to see his family and everyone wanting to support him, said Langley School District spokesper-

son Sandy Wakeling. There was no risk to students, as the distraught student walked out of the school.

Joking about dead man led to violent beating from PAGE 1

The judge said she did not believe either man, and while the girlfriend’s testimony was “inconsistent” in some areas, she was a “credible and reliable witness” unlike the two attackers, whose testimony the judge derided as “bordering on far-fetched and ridiculous.” “Neither is being honest,” Stromberg-Stein said. “Both are evasive.” In July 2011, Jackman pleaded guilty for the 2009 sledgehammer attack that permanently disabled a Langley man. Jackman pleaded guilty on one count of aggravated assault and one count of unlawful confinement in the attack that sent 29-year-old Tyler Willock to hospital with multiple fractures. Defence counsel Brian Coleman told the hearing at the time that Jackman went after Willock because he was making jokes about the murder of Jackman’s friend, Kevin LeClair, a Surrey Red Scorpions associate gang member who was gunned down in a Langley strip mall in broad daylight in 2009. Jackman and LeClair were very close, almost like brothers, according to a written statement filed by LeClair’s father. Jackman, who has a tattoo of LeClair, was enraged to hear that Willock had laughed about the murder, saying it meant he wouldn’t have to pay back $40,000 he’d borrowed from the murdered man, testimony in the case heard. Jackman tied up Willock in the bedroom of his Langley home, applied duct tape to his eyes and mouth and hit him 20 times with a sledgehammer. The attack splattered the walls, ceiling and furniture of the bedroom with blood. Jackman, at that trial, said he will serve his time with his “head held high.” — with files from Dan Ferguson

City council taking steps toward accessibility Set of portable stairs for Al Anderson pool added to budget Brenda anderson Times Reporter

A pair of motions to improve safety and accessibility at City of Langley public facilities met with mixed results on Feb. 18. As council prepared to give its 2013 financial plan third reading, Councillor Dave Hall tabled two motions to have items added to this year’s budget. First on Hall’s shopping list was a portable set of stairs for Al Anderson Memorial swimming pool — similar to those used at W.C. Blair pool in Murrayville. The steps come at an estimated cost of $5,100, but Hall said the money would be well spent to ensure that more residents have unfettered access to the public pool. Not everyone at the table liked Hall’s timing. Councillor Gayle Martin made an unsuccessful bid to postpone the discussion, before saying that she would not support the motion. “We met for 10-plus hours on the budget and this was not brought up until Councillor Hall saw it at Blair pool and thought it was a good idea,” she said. “Every single council person at the table could see something they like . . . by the end of motions by seven people

… who knows how much (it could add up to), she said. Even if it’s a small amount, Martin said, “it’s not the time to do it.” “Waiting another year (until the next budget) means having another pool season without it,” argued Hall.

“Stairs may be more respectful. Others couldn’t use them and have to use the lift,” replied the City’s recreation director, Kim Hilton. The steps can be removed anytime people are swimming lengths, she added. “The lift stays in storage most of the time because it is awkward,” said Hall. “It’s so cumbersome, that often (staff) will pick the person up and put them in the pool,” he added. That, he said, Dave Hall presents a danger councillor for both the staff member and the client. “It certainly is an amenity Hall’s motion was carried, the pool needs, sooner rather with Martin opposed. than later.

Kitchen Renovations In Bloom For Spring

OUTLET STORE 5511 192 STREET SURREY 778-574-1300 Mon-Fri 10-5:30 Sat 10-5 Sun closed

Now that the hustle and bustle of the holiday season has finally settled, many homeowners are beginning to spruce up their homes for spring. And for those looking to make a big impact – an investment that won’t break the bank – the kitchen is the ideal place to start, according to Tracy Chu of Cowry Kitchens in Langley at 19638 Fraser Hwy. Aside from being the hub of the household, a simple kitchen renovation can add substantial resale value, she says. “The kitchen is the where we spend the majority of our time and do the most entertaining, which is why it’s always the ideal spot to start renovating. Also, a kitchen renovation for around $6,000 can up the price by around $30,000.”

With the recent dip in housing prices, many homeowners are choosing to create their dream home out of what they already have rather than put their house up for sale and lose money. “The market has really changed out there so we see a lot of customers who are putting of selling and creating the kitchen of their dreams,” said Chu, who has worked for the Langley Cowry Kitchens location for around a year. While a ‘new’ kitchen can seem like an overwhelming and costly project, it doesn’t have to be the

and Burnaby. The proposed expansion, if approved, would create a twinned pipeline and increase capacity from 300,000 barrels per day to 890,000 barrels. The company has said the new pipeline would follow the existing pipeline route wherever practical, but it may be redirected in urban areas. In Langley, the existing TransMountain pipeline comes from the east near 56 Avenue, adjacent to the Gloucester Industrial Park. It crosses north Langley, north of the freeway, diagonally in a northwest direction. It remains on the high ground for most of its route through Langley, and crosses 240 Street near 80 Avenue. It continues on the high ground, crossing the CN Rawlison rail line that connects the main CN line to the CP line to Deltaport near 232 Street. From the Rawlison rail line, the pipeline cuts to the northwest, and is adjacent to the well-known “castle” on Rawlison Crescent, once owned by the late Fritz Ziegler. Just west of there, the pipeline crosses the Salmon River and then cuts through Belmont Golf Course. From there it continues in a northwesterly direction to Walnut Grove, where it goes through a number of residential neighbourhoods. Much of the right-of-way in Walnut Grove is occupied by walking and cycling trails. West of 202 Street, the pipe-

Opponents of a proposal that would expand the TransMountain pipeline running through Langley have scheduled a town hall meeting on the $5.4 billion project for Wednesday, March 6 at the Kwantlen Polytechnic University Langley campus. Sven Biggs, campaign organizer with the ForestEthics Advocacy Association, described the meeting as a “warm-up act” for the debate that will begin when the pipeline company files detailed plans for the project later this year. “We’re going to push for a very robust environmental assessment,” Biggs told The Times Thursday (Feb. 21). The Langley event will be the ninth in a series of public awareness forums held by a coalition of environmental groups since last July, including meetings in Vancouver, Maple Ridge, Chilliwack, Burnaby, Abbotsford and West Vancouver. Biggs said the coalition has been concentrating its efforts on the communities that will be affected directly or indirectly by the planned pipeline expansion “It seems very unlikely that it will avoid the community of Langley,” Biggs said. TransMountain owner Kinder Morgan wants to expand its current 1,150-kilometre pipeline that runs between Strathcona County, near Edmonton,

line goes through commercial and industrial areas and enters Surrey near 94 Avenue in the Port Kells industrial area. In Surrey, it remains north of Highway 1 until about 108 Avenue. It crosses the freeway in an area that is now subject of heavy construction,as a result of the Port Mann Bridge project and freeway widening. It crosses the Fraser River just to the west of the new Port Mann bridge. The pipeline began operation in 1953. The company estimates the project will bring a nearly seven-fold increase in the number of tankers to about 34 a month or about 400 per year loading at its Burnaby terminal. Kinder Morgan expects to file its formal application to twin the pipeline with the National Energy Board by the end of the year. If approved, the expanded Trans Mountain pipeline could be operational late in 2017. The company says it has staged 37 public information sessions in 32 communities including Langley since the proposal was announced. More are planned. The Wednesday, March 6 town hall meeting at the Kwantlen Polytechnic University Langley campus will take place at 7 p.m. in the university auditorium at 20901 Langley Bypass (Glover Road entrance). — with files from Jeff Nagel and Frank Bucholtz

The male and female victims met the potential female buyer in the parking lot near Montana’s. The female buyer arrived in a light grey, older model pick up truck with an extended cab. She came with a male. The victim offered the chain for viewing, the suspect male grabbed the chain and pepper sprayed both victims. The suspects jumped into their vehicle and fled. The male suspect is described at approximately 23 years old, 5’8”, 170 lbs., with short light brown hair, a very short beard, and wearing black pants and hoody.

Community and Health Studies now a major part of KPU Langley

March Dinner Meeting Cascades Casino, Coast Hotel & Convention Centre 20393 Fraser Highway, Langley

N E W S L E T T E R •

he Langley campus of Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) houses facilities for students in a wide array of studies, from horticulture, to music, to community and health studies. With an abundance of resources available, students have access to a horticulture field lab; a 250-seat auditorium with exceptional acoustics for rehearsals and concert performances; and nursing labs that use sophisticated “sim” technology. These life-sized computercontrolled mannequins simulate the symptoms of various illnesses through changes in breath, pulse and eye movements. KPU Langley has, in fact, recently become the university’s centre for Community and Health Studies, where we now educate more than 600 healthcare professionals each year in a hands-on, applied learning environment that balances a strong foundation in theory with exceptional lab and clinical work. There is high demand for our graduates, with more than 96 per cent of degree-educated students finding work in a variety of health-care settings.

for KPU – a vision we will share with the public in June. This vision includes significant growth over the next 10 years in programs that support the social, cultural and economic needs of the South Fraser region. It will also include a renewed focus on ensuring that our campuses evolve and grow to meet local needs. We will be an active partner in building these communities of the future.

Recently, KPU Langley began offering a second Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program, the first of its kind in B.C. and available to graduates who want to pursue their second degree in nursing. This two-year program will combine online delivery with two practical residency components for eligible students across the province. In addition, KPU Langley is home to the Institute of Sustainable Horticulture (ISH), a bold initiative that focuses on sustainability and environmental responsibility in order to deal

with issues of food sovereignty here in B.C. Through partnership with industry, all levels of government and academia, it has become a national leader in this area since its founding in 2004. Each year more than 4,100 students attend the Langley campus and choose from a number of bachelor’s degrees, associate degrees, diplomas, certificates and citation programs. And as our communities grow, so will KPU. We are putting the finishing touches on a bold new vision

KPU already serves nearly 20,000 students a year at our four campuses. Over a quarter of a million students have been served by KPU in the last 31 years, and over 85 per cent of our graduates are employed within four months. Over 90 per cent of our graduates stay here in our region to live, to work and to raise their families. They live here, are educated here and will build the future here. KPU is committed to growing and evolving with the South Fraser Region and we look forward to working with our partners to collaborate with the governments at all levels to meet the challenges of today and the future.

Cancellation Deadline: 24 hours prior. Sorry, “No Shows” will be invoiced.

THE VOICE OF BUSINESS FOR THE — PRESIdENT’S REPORT —

o say the Chamber’s Board of Directors and staff have been “just a bit busy” this past month would be an understatement! We have taken on an enormous amount of work this year and I would like to say thank you to my fellow Board members who have dedicated significant time to attend numerous committee and task force meetings. I would like to highlight some of what your Board of Directors has been working on;

STAY INDULGENT.

A Task Force has begun meeting with area BIA’s and Merchant Associations to consider initiatives and programs to counter cross border and promote shopping local. Our Advocacy Committee is preparing a Chamber position concerning transportation funding and participating in a study to identify the economic impact of the Fraser

River. The U40 Group is meeting monthly – Golf Tournament and Celebration of Excellence plans are coming together – the Book Club is being extended – and the Board is working on a long range plan for the Chamber! Details on each of these initiatives will be coming out very soon. At the February Dinner Meeting we officially launched our initiative to increase voter turnout during the 2013 Provincial

Election. We don’t need to wait for the writ to drop to start our campaign.

CITY AND TOWNSHIP OF LANGLEY Why You Shouldn’t Do Your Own Business Marketing Article courtesy of: Chambers of Commerce Group Insurance Plan Small Business Tips Blog Raise your hand if you’re a good juggler. As a small business owner, you’re likely juggling a lot of different balls, often too many at once. From business development and financials to operations, HR, and marketing, you’re trying to balance everything without losing control. But, do you really need to be juggling all parts of your business? What if you could remove one ball? Let’s look at the marketing ball. There are several reasons why you shouldn’t do your own marketing. According to author Malcolm Gladwell, it takes at least 10,000 hours to become good at something. Hiring a professional would ensure that you are marketing the right message to the right audience at the right time. Planning and implementing a marketing plan requires innate knowledge of the industry and more resources and time than you are able to give if you are running your small business. Say you did have the know-how, would you have the time or focus? If you’re like most small businesses, you’re busy leading your business, running daily operations, and managing customer and client expectations. Too often, marketing gets pushed to the bottom of a business’s priority list, especially if that business is growing or steady. It takes time to execute marketing strategies on a consistent and ongoing basis. If you hand off your marketing it will be made actionable, sooner rather than later. We all know first impressions are important. Your marketing is a direct reflection of the value you put on your business. If your marketing looks cheap and is inconsistent, it sends the message that your product or service offering will also be low quality and unreliable. Getting the professionals to look after your marketing builds credibility, and an outside perspective helps to keep you targeting the audience you intended. If it looks like you did your marketing yourself (i.e., it’s amateurish, low-grade, or content riddled with errors), you risk losing potential customers. There are a few different options available when you choose not to do your own marketing: • Hire someone with marketing experience. (You’ll have a resource that’s in-house and focused on you.) • Outsource it to a marketing company. (This can be less expensive than hiring someone internally.) • Contract a freelance marketing professional. (They can also help source contacts in the industry.) • Build a relationship with a marketing consultant or advisor. (Offer lunch in exchange for advice.) Being a small business owner can, at times, be a wild juggling act, but if you learn to let go of certain responsibilities like marketing, you’ll feel more in control, and be a better juggler, in the long run.

Arts, culture & community combine LAC gallery re-opens on Fraser Highway one-way Brenda anderson Times Reporter

embers of the Langley Arts Council are back in their old new home. And if all goes as planned, they’ll be there for a while. LAC returned to the former Coast Capital building on Fraser Highway in January after vacating the property last October to make way for the Langley Christmas Bureau’s seasonal activities. The council spent last summer in the prominent downtown space — time they used to draw attention to local artists and their work. And then in January, they signed a one-year lease with an option to buy the 10,500 square foot building, explained Don Shilton, executive director of LAC. Their hope is to make the building their permanent home — something they say the community desperately needs. “There’s a crisis for arts and culture spaces throughout Langley,” said Shilton. “Research told us, ‘if you build it, they will come.’” But it’s about far more than just wall space, he added. “We consider out cultural space uses to be places for exchange of ideas, learning, socializing and community space for entertainment and fun.” Shilton estimated the gallery is getting about two dozen visitors each day. During what he refers to as the LAC’s 12-week pilot project last summer, Shilton said roughly 3,000 visitors came through to watch painters, sculptors, writers and jewelry makers at work and to visit with the artists. With “Home of Arts and Culture” painted on the window, the the gallery — which has expanded to take in the building’s second storey — now boasts 30 studios and three galleries as well as small performance space in the main room. Among the 20-plus artists who have already rented out studios are returning painters and jewelry makers. They’re joined by a few new artists — including clothing designers, and a music therapist.

Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times

Sabrina Storey, a radio broadcaster turned dressmaker, has transformed the old bank vault at the Langley Arts Council building into a showroom for Travelling Treasures Boutique Children’s Apparel. With help from a group of dedicated moms, Storey creates and sells unique hand-made children’s clothing. For more information, visit www. facebook.com/travellingtreasures. The tenants have been given free reign to design and decorate their small studios and, already, the result has been an eclectic mix of materials and themes. Sabrina Storey, owner of Travelling Treasures, has rented space inside the former bank vault to display handmade children’s apparel. Surrounded by concrete walls, Storey’s options were limited, so she covered one wall with a bold, black-and-white design and placed several mismatched pieces of furniture inside the confined space, where she displays brightly coloured children’s clothing, knitted hats and bags. Upstairs, the gallery’s resident music therapist has taken a cozy, homey approach, bringing in a comfy armchair and covering the walls with colourful paintings in her small room which is

filled with a range of handheld musical instruments. It’s exactly the type of ownership Arts Council president Rosemary Wallace hoped the artists would take — making each space a unique oasis for visitors and offering a glimpse into their personalities. “What I love about this space is the collectiveness, the inclusiveness. Our community can feel connected — coming in, taking in art and performances.” It’s a place to talk about art and watch it being created. Everyone is welcome to come in and appreciate their surroundings, regardless of whether they can afford to make a purchase, Wallace added. They’re noticing a lot of grandparents bringing in their grandchildren in

to stroll around and enjoy colourful artwork. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have a number of colourful, life-sized equine sculptures from the Horsing Around Langley project scattered throughout the main gallery to draw in younger visitors, noted Wallace. Plans are in the works to bring in guest speakers, art talks, lessons and workshops from high-profile artists. “We’re looking at community partnerships, trying to integrate health and wellness. We’re taking a holistic approach,” said Wallace. Her goal is to engage the community at large and create an appreciation for the visual and performing fine arts that rivals her own. Of course, that will be no small task. “I love this,” said Wallace, gesturing around the gallery. “This is my life.”

You & The Law Mountain’s Spring POPS marks 10 years of song

PRESENTS Incorporating a company not so simple Incorporating a private BC company is not as easy as it might seem. Many people think that once they receive their Certificate of Incorporation, their company is ready to operate. But choosing and reserving an appropriate company name, deciding on an authorized share structure, settling on an appropriate set of Articles (rules and regulations that govern the conduct of your company), completing the Incorporation Agreement, and filing the Incorporation Application (with attached Notice of Articles) through Corporate Online, are only the first steps. After you get your Certificate of Incorporation, you still have several things to do to complete the organization of your company. You can have an actual organizational meeting, but the business can just as easily be done through consent resolutions signed by all of the shareholders and directors. Shares have to be issued to the incorporators/ shareholders. When first issuing shares, it’s the proportion each shareholder receives that’s important, not the number. If there are two shareholders and they are to “own” the company equally, then they should each be issued the same number (it could be ten or 10,000 shares each). Then there’s the appointment of officers. While a company isn’t required to have any particular officers such as a president and a secretary (unless your Articles say otherwise), it’s traditional to appoint officers of the company to handle the day-to-day operations. The Business Corporations Act requires that minutes of all company meetings must be prepared and kept at the records office, along with various other company records. You therefore need a company records book, also called a minute book, which must contain minutes of your company meetings, including your first organizational meeting. If resolutions are passed by a written consent resolution rather than at an actual meeting, then those resolutions have to be signed and filed as well. You also need to prepare a directors’ register

showing the full names and “prescribed addresses” of the directors (for the delivery of notices and legal documents, and receiving mail) and other specified information. For the prescribed delivery address, directors can choose their home or the office they normally occupy during business hours. As well, a central securities register must be prepared. It shows the shares issued by the company, the full names and addresses of shareholders, the number of shares they own, the class and any series of those shares, and so on. Does your company need financing to begin its operations? The easiest way to raise money is by shareholder loan. It’s prudent to document this loan by way of a promissory note and a general security agreement charging all of the company’s personal property. The terms of the loan and the related security should be approved by an appropriate directors’ resolution. If there are two or more shareholders, you might also consider having a “buy-sell” agreement to address what happens if the shareholders wish to go their separate ways, or if one shareholder dies or becomes disabled. Ideally there should be a broader shareholders’ agreement to fully address the relationship between the parties in relation to the company. Once your company is organized, certain things must still be done to maintain your company in good standing, including filing annual reports with the Corporate Registry. Your lawyer can assist you with all of this. If you don’t want to bother with keeping your own corporate records, consider using the “records office” services of a law firm, typically offered at a modest annual cost.

The music department at R.E. Mountain Secondary School is tuning up for its 10th annual Spring POPS Concert. Under the musical direction of David Mills and Jen Williams, the annual fundraising concert will feature the school’s bands and choirs performing popular film and television music in a relaxed and informal setting. This year’s concert which begins at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 13 in the main gymnasium, will also feature performances by special guest, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra trombone player Andrew Porier, and Poppy’s very own award-winning pianist and Grade 11 student, Ben Su, who recently won the opportunity

to play at Carnegie Hall. Music selections will include The Planets, Raider’s March (Indiana Jones), famous music from Disney films, Les Miserables and more. Seating will be at candlelit tables, so guests can enjoy a beverage, gourmet appetizers, and dessert, along with the show (included with the price of admission). A limited number of dress circle tickets are available which will reserve a front row table and deluxe seats. With the help from many local businesses, there will be many items up for bids at the silent auction tables. There will also be a 50/50 draw. Due to the success of last

year’s concert, seating has been increased to accommodate nearly 350 guests. Tickets will be available at the door, but it is best to order them in advance at the school’s music room, or by phoning the school and placing a “will-call” order at 604-888-3033. Will-call tickets must be picked up by 6:50 p.m. on the day of the concert. Ticket prices are $20 each ($10 child/student), or $25 for dress circle (no “child” tickets for dress circle). All funds raised go directly to the Mountain Music Program to replace aging instruments, uniforms, and equipment. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Nylons return to Summit Theatre The Nylons will perform Saturday, March 16 at the Cascades Casino Summit Theatre 20393 Fraser Hwy. Tickets are $45, available from casino guest services or charge by phone at 604-530-2211 or online at www. ticketweb.ca, Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 8 p.m.

One person’s trash ... is a potential work of art Calling all creative people with an interest in enhancing the environment. An Upcycling design challenge has been issued by the Township of Langley and the Langley Arts Council, encouraging everyone to start turning trash into treasure. “Upcycling involves taking waste material that would otherwise end up in our landfills and making it into something more valuable or useful,” said Township solid waste co-ordinator and event organizer Krista Daniszewski. “Candy wrappers can be turned into a purse, old glass bottles may make a funky chandelier — the options are limited only by your own creativity.” Residents of both the Township and the City of Langley aged 14 and up are invited to take the Challenge by submitting an original creative piece made from at least 75 per cent found or recovered materials. Submissions must be received between April 8 and 13 and will be judged by the Langley Arts Council. Prizes will be awarded for the winning pieces. Upcycling design challenge pieces will be displayed in an exhibit at the Art Council’s Gallery at 20550 Fraser Highway on Thursday, April 18, 6:30 – 9:30 p.m., and the public is invited to attend. The challenge is being held in honour of Earth Day to highlight the importance of waste reduction and the value of re-using. “The amount of waste thrown away each day is staggering. We are overusing our resources and filling up our landfills at an incredible

As well, the exhibit will showcase budding artists in Langley and bring the community out for an enjoyable evening.” For full Upcycling eesign challenge rules and entry information visit tol.ca/upcycling.

Gators snap up the big victory Walnut Grove Gators win first Fraser Valley senior boys basketball championship in school history Gary ahuja

Fraser Valleys, beat the second-ranked Yale Lions 86-68 in the Fraser Valley semifinals the night before to advance to the gold medal game. White Rock Christian was ranked third. “First of all, there is no difference in the number one seed and the number two seed,” said Walnut Grove coach George Bergen. “It was evident in the game tonight and last night was a tough game with Yale too.” Bergen said as has been the case all season, his team’s depth showed. “I think we had a little bit more energy in the end,” he said, adding he expected it to be a close game. “We were expecting a tie game, we were expecting things to go down to the wire. “In a nutshell, I would put it on we have a team that has depth and they really want to do it as a team.” In addition to Cohee’s MVP award, Josh Mayorga and Shin were both first team all-stars. The Gators also won the team spirit award and Shin was player of the game in the final. He finished with 19 points — including four three-pointers — and a number of steals. Cohee dropped 39 points in the semifinal victory, continuing his strong play at the LEC. As a Grade 10 player last year, he was a first team all-star at the provincial championships when Walnut Grove finished second. “I love the big stage,” he said. “When there is a crowd, you get so fired up and

Times Sports

As the Walnut Grove Gators saw an 18-point third quarter lead vanish, the players didn’t panic. The Gators, the second seed, were playing the top-seed White Rock Christian Warriors in the Fraser Valley senior boys AAA championship final on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre. The Warriors fully erased the deficit with a basket early in the fourth quarter, tying the game at 53. But three-pointers from Sam Shin and Sheldon Derton were part of a 10-0 Gators run and the team never looked back, winning 73-64. The Fraser Valley title is the first at the senior boys level in school history. The Gators improved to 29-3 on the season, with two of the losses coming at the hands of the Warriors in tournament finals back in January: 86-80 in the finals of the Legal Beagle tournament and then 86-80 in the Emerald Classic. “When we played them at Emerald, they went in a run like that in the third quarter,” said Walnut Grove’s Jadon Cohee, who finished with 21 points and was named the tournament’s most valuable player. “We were up 10 at the half (in that game) but they ended up continuing with their energy and beating us. “We didn’t want to let that happen again.” “Basketball is a game of peaks and valleys,” he said. “We went through a valley. “We just came to the bench and the coaches calmed us down. We knew we could win this game, we just had to play our game, not their game, and we ended up playing our game in the fourth quarter and that is why we won.” The Gators never trailed in the game, racing out to a 6-0 lead and building that to a nine-point advantage after one quarter. By halftime, Walnut Grove was ahead 40-28 and they stretched the lead to 18 points at one point in the third before the Warriors ripped off 19 of the next 22 points to make it 53-51 Walnut Grove with 10 minutes to play. “We came out with the right mindset,” Cohee said. “We knew our game plan and we knew if we played our game, we would win.” Walnut Grove, which was ranked No. 1 in the provincial polls heading into

Buono donates $5,000 to Reichelt Memorial Fund The Dylan Reichelt Memorial Fund has gotten a $5,000 boost from a prominent member of the B.C. Lions. Wally Buono, the football club’s vice-president of operations and general manager, announced the donation on Feb. 27. That date is nearly one year since Buono stepped down as head coach of the Lions after winning his fifth Canadian Football League coach of the year award. The memorial fund was established by the Lions’ long-time therapist, Bill Reichelt, who lost

his son Dylan in a car accident in 2011. The fund works to make a difference in the lives of young people. “Dylan was a tremendous person who routinely put the happiness and well-being of others first and the fund strives to carry out what we believe was important to him,” said Bill Reichelt. “My wife Cathy and I very grateful for the support of Wally and the entire Lions family. “His generosity will go a long way to making a difference in

our community.” In addition to providing a $1,000 annual scholarship to a student-athlete at Dylan’s former high school Brookswood Secondary, the fund has also helped establish a new weight room at the school. Other efforts include the establishment of the Langley Minor Hockey Referee of the Year Award as well as an annual donation to the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour. With the support of all eight CFL clubs in conjunction with CFL Auctions, the Dylan Reichelt Memorial Fund Society

will make available eight fully autographed team helmets from the 2012 season.

After extinguishing the Ridge Meadows Flames in round one, the Aldergrove Kodiaks will look to ground the Abbotsford Pilots. The Kodiaks lost game one, 4-3 to the Flames in their best-ofseven opening round Pacific Junior Ice Hockey League series. The defeat came in double overtime with Aldergrove firing 63 pucks on goal. But the rest of the series, went the Kodiaks way. Aldergrove won 4-2, 2-1, 9-2 and then they clinched the series with a 4-1 victory in game five last Wednesday. Scott McHaffie led the team with three goals and a dozen points in five games, while twin brother Spencer had three goals and eight points. Ryan Veillet led the Kodiaks with five goals and also had eight points.

The double-threat of Aldergrove Kodiaks’ twins Scott and Spencer McHaffie helped lead the Kodiaks past the Ridge Meadows Flames four games to one in the opening round playoff series. The Kodiaks now face the Abbotsford Pilots in round two. Aldergrove coach and general manager Rick Harkins expects a tight, close series. “Probably seven games,” he said. “We expect a tight series.

Spartans bronzed at nationals Gary ahuja Times Sports

It wasn’t the colour of medal they had their hearts set on, but the Trinity Western Spartans recovered to capture their second bronze medal in the past three years at the national championships. Trinity Western defeated the Ottawa Gee-Gees 3-0 (25-18,25-20,25-13) to win bronze at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport championships in Sherbooke, Que. on Saturday. This came on the heels of a 3-1 loss to the UBC Thunderbirds on Friday night in the semifinals. Trinity Western won their quarter-final match 3-0 (25-13,25-18,25-19) over the Dalhousie Tigers on Thursday. The T-Birds would go on to win their sixth straight CIS national championship. UBC lost just one match all season, which came back in November against Trinity Western. “For sure, it was tough,” said Spartans coach Ryan Hofer. “But I am proud of the

girls, proud of the journey they made, proud that they finished strong.” Against Ottawa, the Spartans led from start to finish, and they never allowed their opponent to generate any momentum. They hit .407 for the match while Ottawa hit a paltry .088 and out-hit them 40-17. Amber Brown, Amy Ott and Nicole Bazin each had eight kills while Alicia Brown and Amy Ott had three blocks apiece. Brown and Kelci French had two aces apiece and Brown was the player of the match. “I’m really proud of the team to rise after a tough loss yesterday,” Hofer said. “Their hearts were broken: they wanted to be in that final, going for that gold. “I believe it takes a ton of character to come back after you’ve been blocked from reaching your goal and go back out there in search of something that’s not quite what you wanted. “But a bronze is a great achievement for the school and it’s something the (team) should be proud of.” “They know that they represented their school

with pride.” Trinity Western finished the regular season ranked second among CIS schools, behind only UBC. In fact, during the 14-week season, they were ranked first or second for 13 weeks, with one week at number four, and this was back in January. Inexplicably, however, they were seeded fourth for nationals which put them on a collision course with the Thunderbirds on the same side of the draw. Meanwhile, Alberta — the seventh seed and the team the Spartans beat the week before in the Canada West semifinals — advanced to the CIS finals, where they lost 3-0 to UBC. ••••• The Trinity Western Spartans were stunned in the quarter-finals at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championships in Quebec City over the weekend. The Spartans men’s volleyball team was up 2-0, but lost three straight sets to fall 3-2 (26-28,2325,31-29,27-25,15-9) to the Western Mustangs. Trinity Western was

seeded second for the eight-team tournament while Western was No. 7. “It was a battle of two balanced teams,” said Spartans coach Ben Josephson. “A five-setter is what this match deserved. We made a couple more plays in the first two sets, they made a couple more in the next two sets. “Fifth sets are all about who gets the run first (and) they made it first and then there was not enough time to make up for it.” Trinity Western was looking to become the first team since the Winnipeg Wesmen won three straight CIS titles in the 1970s. The Spartans did rebound to edge the University of New Brunswick Varsity Reds 3-2 (19-25,25-23,2520,20-25,15-12) before losing to the Alberta Golden Bears 3-1 (25-14,2521,22-25,25-18) to finish sixth. Trinity Western’s Nick Del Bianco was named a CIS first-team all-Canadian while Alicia Perrin and Kelci French were both named second-team allCanadians.
