Premier Christy Clark spoke to an enthusiastic crowd at the third in a series of leadership luncheons organized by Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce on Monday afternoon, at Newlands Golf Club.

Premier focuses on the future Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

It was sunshine and standing ovations for B.C. Premier Christy Clark who spoke to a large crowd at the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce’s Your Voice, Your Vote leadership series on Monday. Clark told the crowd of more than 160 that now is the time for B.C. to grow the economy to “something we’ve never seen before when we grow our exports and technology sectors.” She is focused on the potential of Liquefied Natural Gas and increasing exports to China. “There hasn’t been a chance like this since W.A.C. Bennett’s time,” said Clark, referring to when B.C.’s longest-standing

premier gambled on creating BC. Hydro, building hydro dams and using water power when little was known about whether it would be a success or not. The premier was the last of the three party leaders to speak in the series that also brought NDP leader Adrian Dix and Conservative leader John Cummins out to speak. The Chamber’s hope is to increase voter turnout in Langley by five per cent. Among the many who came out to Newland’s Golf and Country Club were several MLAs, including Aldergrove-Fort Langley MLA Rich Coleman, Langley MLA Mary Polak and Surrey-Panorama MLA Stephanie Cadieux. Liberal hopefuls Peter Fassbender and Amrik Virk were also there, as well as numerous Langley

municipal councillors. Clark’s message was to build an economy strong enough for future generations to enjoy a debt-free province. My son Hamish is 11 years old now. If we do things right, we can be debt free by the time he is 26,” said Clark. “Let’s aspire for our children.” She wants to see windfall revenues from gas exports going into a prosperity fund. Clark detailed the Liberal successes of creating “47,000 net new jobs” with the B.C. Jobs Plan. She credits the Liberals for digging the province out of a $4 billion deficit it was “saddled with” when they took office in 2001. She said B.C. was one of two provinces to table a balanced budget this year.

But she reminded the crowd that voting Liberal means there are tough times ahead, where they are going to have to say no to a lot of things to keep B.C. strong. “I was raised in a middle class family in Burnaby. My mom started the first nonprofit daycare out of our church and my dad was a school counsellor. “There were six of us in a three- bedroom house . . . what was most important to my parents is that we were better off than they were and that meant saying no to a lot of things us kids wanted. It was hard at times but when my dad passed away he left the house mortgage free, he pre-paid his funeral expenses and left us debt-free. continued, PAGE 4

Elderly man missing in North Langley Official search called off Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times

BC Hydro crews are called out after an errant bird caused a short-circuit that cut power to a roughly one-block area of Langley City Monday morning (March 25). Service was interrupted to an area bounded by 56 Avenue, 201A Street, Fraser Highway and 203 Street for about two hours.

A four-day search of Langley and surrounding area has failed to find an elderly Asian man. Shengyun Song, 80, was reported missing at 7 p.m. on Thursday March 21 by his son, who says his father left his residence in the 8600 block of 206B Street in North Langley to go for a walk alone and did not return home. The missing man is a resident of China and does not speak any English. Song is described as an elderly Asian male, with balding white hair, 5’7”, 147 lbs. He was wearing a blue puffy jacket, pants, and brown shoes with a white stripe (as seen in the photograph released by RCMP). Central Fraser Valley Search and Rescue established a command post at the Carvolth Park and Ride in North Langley and both police and volunteers searched both urban and park

areas. RCMP helicopter Air One and Search and Rescue aircraft carried out an aerial search. Ridge Meadows RCMP, both police and volunteers, as well as Maple Ridge Search and Rescue also assisted with the search. A command post was set up on the north side of the river as well. Langley Township employees have been made aware of the missing man and the Langley Emergency Program has deployed their people to assist with the search of the North Langley area. On Monday, Langley RCMP issued a statement saying the “physical search … has now been concluded” but the investigation remained active. Police said several Fraser Valley private citizens have offered to search the area in planes and helicopters. They planned to fly over North Langley, Port Kells, Fort Langley, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Shengyun Song is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Shengyun Song, 80, was reported missing from a North Langley home on March 21. He is a resident of China and speaks no English.

Changes proposed for new federal riding Frank Bucholtz Times Reporter

Langley MP Mark Warawa has made his pitch to a House of Commons committee for a change to proposed new federal ridings which would carve up Langley.

He spoke to the House Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs two weeks ago. He told the committee that the first preference would be to keep the Langley riding as is, which encompasses both the City and Township. The second preference was to have

one riding that included the entire Township, with Langley City included in a riding with Cloverdale. He also asked that the names of the proposed ridings be changed to LangleyAldergrove from Fort Langley-Aldergrove and West Langley-Cloverdale from Cloverdale-Langley.

Warawa said the committee will consider his submission, and those of other MPs about changes in their ridings, and make recommendations to the commission established to draw up new electoral boundaries in B.C. The commission will have the final word.

Dealing with debt is vital, says Clark

from PAGE 1

“If it’s not OK to leave our children with mounds of debt, why would it be OK for government to leave children with mounds of debt?” she asks. She said she doesn’t want to grow government, only the economy. “I believe in low taxes, building the private sector, more

trade, smaller government, supporting small business and cutting red tape,” Clark said. Several written questions were taken from the audience, including on the “crisis” in transportation and transit funding and whether universal tolling is part of the answer. “I don’t support universal tolling and road pricing. I don’t think it works,” said Clark.

“Bringing in taxes without consulting the public doesn’t work well so improvements have to be affordable,” she said. She doesn’t believe there is a “crisis,” but said she is confident issues with TransLink funding will get solved within a year. Health care was also a topic of concern.

PUBLIC SAFETY A TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS The crime drop in British Columbia over the last decade has been spectacular. In fact, whether you are looking at crime drops in Australia, New Zealand, any state in the US, or any province in Canada, none of these jurisdictions have been as successful at reducing crime as we have here in BC.

- Dr. Darryl Plecas Ph.d

COMMITMENT TO SERVICE Rich Coleman was British Columbia’s Solicitor General from 2001 to 2005. During this time he laid the foundation for BC’s impressive record. He established the Crime Secretariat, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), and put real time information management (PRIME) in every police car across the province. No other jurisdiction in North America does this. Rich and the BC Liberal team will continue to work to make our communities safer. Authorized by Ted Redekop, Financial Agent 604-856-5154

The woman was conscious as she was taken by ambulance to Alice Brown Elementary on 200 Street and 44 Avenue where a B.C. Air Ambulance airlifted her to hospital. Eyewitnesses told The Times that the Ford hit the Honda as the smaller vehicle was turning left onto Fraser Highway. The Honda demolished a portion of the railing surrounding the sidewalk

Times Reporter

No criminal charges will be laid in connection with a Jan. 10, 2012 crash in Langley City that left a 19-year-old woman in critical condition. That’s because there is a lack of evidence that clearly shows who was at fault, according to the final report by Langley RCMP on the late afternoon collision between a white Honda Accord and a red Ford 350 pickup truck at the intersection of Fraser Highway and 203 Street. The female driver of the Honda had

The woman survived her injuries, but she has been unable or unwilling to be interviewed by police, the RCMP report states. As for the driver of the truck, the report states investigators were unable to determine whether he was speeding at the time of the crash. The police file was closed on Jan. 18 of this year, with a note that a civil court case has been filed.

“Motion 408 to Protect Girls is definitely in order,” says Langley MP Mark Warawa. He has been working on this motion, which asks the House of Commons to condemn discrimination against females occurring through sex-selective pregnancy termination, for much of the past year and has met with numerous groups to explain it. It was shelved on Thursday morning by the Subcommittee on Private Members’ Business, whose three members (one each from the Conservative, Liberal and NDP parties) decided that the motion was “not-voteable.” Warawa announced his intention to appeal this decision “as far as necessary,” which could include an unprecedented secret ballot in the House of Commons. While Warawa’s bill has been criticized as being an attempt to reopen the abortion debate, he says that is not his intention at all. He was inspired to look into the matter by a CBC documentary and his motion followed up on statements made in the House of Commons last June 13, when representatives of all parties condemned the practice of aborting female fetuses due to gender. He wants the House of Commons to make its feelings known, through a formal motion, about sex selection. There is substantial evidence that many people choose to abort female fetuses simply because of the gender, both in

TransLink’s future

Calm heads prevail on WiFi motions

he Metro Vancouver Mayors’ Council has released an independent review of TransLink governance, and to no one’s surprise, it suggests that local politicians should take much more control of TransLink. While mayors are correct that there is a lack of accountability for TransLink decisions with the current mixture of a mayors’ council, non-elected board and commissioner, a return to the old system of local government representatives making far-reaching decisions on regional transportation priorities would be a disaster. The current system came about as a result of a series of questionable decisions by the TransLink board, none of whom were elected by voters to make transportation decisions. The board members were a mixture of mayors and councillors from all across the region. They on a number of occasions rejected the Canada Line project, an integral part of the 2010 Winter Olympics infrastructure, which was funded to a significant degree by the federal government. This was rejected for political or selfish motives. Former transportation minister Kevin Falcon had had enough, and changed the legislation to give local politicians fewer decision-making powers, but final word on taxation. This was a sop to those who pointed out that the non-elected board was not accountable, yet was making taxation decisions. The “professional” board has had its own set of problems, notably meetings behind closed doors and directors’ fees that are far beyond reasonable. It has provided a more thoughtful approach to transportation issues, though. The fundamental problem with TransLink is it does not have access to enough tax dollars to build significant new projects or increase transit service. Thus every step forward becomes controversial, because it involves nickel and diming taxpayers. A directly-elected regional board which does nothing but plan future transportation improvements and run the existing service would be far better than any relinking of TransLink with mayors or Metro Vancouver. In fact, the report hints at this, saying Stockholm and London have good governance models. Both cities directly elect transportation officials. A new board must also have enough taxing power to start making real improvements that people don’t mind paying for.

alm heads prevailed at the B.C. Teachers’ Federation annual general meeting last week, with the abandonment of motions calling on boards of education to stop installing wireless networks in schools. The majority of educators at the AGM — and in Twitter discussion forums — appear to agree that the benefits of wireless technology in school for online learning far outweigh the risks. And while some may disagree with Health Canada’s assertion that there is no evidence linking low-level exposure to radio frequency energy from WiFi equipment to cancer, they are free to take their concerns directly to school boards. Indeed, some have suggested districts provide a wireless free school for parents who wish to make that choice for their children. But they should do so with the knowledge that WiFi signals are similar to emissions from cell phones, digital TVs and other digital wireless technologies, including baby monitors, and thus difficult to control. A more obvious risk to children’s health is obesity, which has been directly related to diabetes and other health risks, and could be an offshoot of children spending more time on games and other entertainment connected through WiFi. —Tri-City News (Black Press)

Manipulative Motion

Cannon use must be restricted

Editor: Re: “Langley MP’s motion on sex selection rejected,” (www.langleytimes.com). This reminds me of something the Republicans south of the border have been trying. In an attempt to stop what they call “widespread voter fraud,” many states have passed election reforms requiring photo ID for all people intending to vote. The problem is that there is no widespread voter fraud. By creating a problem and selling it to the public, they were able to carry out their real goal: To prevent low-income voters, who tend to vote Democrat, from voting because they cannot afford the ID required. MP Mark Warawa is doing a version of the same thing with this motion. In order for it to stand up to scrutiny by the Supreme Court, the female fetuses would have to be declared a person under the law. In doing so, all fetuses would have to be declared as people under the law, making it murder to perform an abortion. This is a blatant, dishonest, manipulative attempt to circumvent the will of the Canadian people, its government and the Supreme Court of Canada. Scott Imbeau, Langley

Editor: I am a South Langley resident who has been extremely affected by the blasting of blueberry cannons. It has become such an unbearable situation that I have taken the time to attend all of the meetings being held by the task force appointed by the AAC (Agricultural Advisory Committee) to look into this issue over the past several months. When I started attending, it was with high hopes and admiration for the volunteer task force members who donated their time to research and holding public hearings. Their last meeting on March 1 however made it clear that no one is comfortable taking a firm stand. After months of research and many binders full of paper, they only concluded that “some changes be made.” What? We started off knowing that

some changes needed to be made — that is why the task force was created in the first place. I had hoped for a spirited discussion, with everyone being free to voice their opinions, resulting in a hammered-out, detailed description that would be passed on to Township council, stating exactly the who, what, where, when and how. The residents of Langley Township need specifics and they need them before this berry season arrives. The public forum held in January made it very clear that the current guidelines are unreasonable to most residents. Blasting at deafening levels, from dawn to dusk, seven days a week for several months a year makes it impossible for humans or animals to comfortably live nearby. It is also a

severe safety issue for neighbours who ride horses, which many residents of the “Horse Capital of B.C.” do. Alternative methods for protecting crops from birds exist and are successfully used by some of the largest local berry growers, proving that the cannons are not a necessary farming tool. Many people believe that they should be banned completely in high density areas like the Lower Mainland, but at the very least their usage needs to be severely restricted. We need to all be agriculturally socially responsible. I like to believe that enough people with the same goal can cause change, so hopefully Langley residents do not give up on this issue. K. Madill, Langley

delay of sale requested

Glen Valley lands need assessment Editor: We, the members of the Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society, would like to express our opposition to the sale of the eight properties in Glen Valley (north of 84 Avenue, bounded by 252 and 264 Streets) by the Township of Langley. We are community members of Aldergrove. We do not believe the lands have been adequately assessed for their ecological significance nor their social value in respect to the community or Langley at large. We would like to encourage the

mayor and council to stall the sale of these lands until they can be properly valued and the possibility of setting all or most of them aside as park space is considered. As members of the Aldergrove community, we understand the sale of these lands is intended to help fund the community centre we have been promised for the past 20 years. Funds for our community centre should have been collecting for more than 20 years, as well as DCC’s collected from the recent

developments in Aldergrove. Losing precious park space in one area of the community to fund concrete buildings in another is a shame that should be worn by past councils for failing to be responsible with public moneys, and will be worn by this council if it supports this sale. We request that council reconsider the sale of these ecologically significant lands. Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society

Toilet price differential is on the extreme side Editor: I thought I might take advantage of the $80 rebate on “high efficiency” toilets which is available until March 28, so I started looking into toilets. Consider this particular model: Glacier Bay two-piece high efficiency dual flush complete elongated toilet in white;

model #N2316. The Langley Home Depot price for this model is $174.99. The price at the Bellingham Home Depot is $98. In short, including taxes, it is about $10 cheaper in Bellingham, even after the $80 rebate. It will be

about $90 cheaper after the rebate expires. Is it any wonder that people are flocking to shop in the U.S. when there is a rip-off like that? Paul M. Bowman, Langley

Rich Coleman gets backing from his brother Editor: Re: “It’s time to replace Rich Coleman as MLA,” (letters, The Times, March 21). I’m sorry for being a bit protective. But, Rich is about the whole province, and doing what he can do for his riding. From what I have seen in my short The

visits, he is doing a lot for his riding. I am non-partisan, but family is family and I know how hard he works. I respect the differences of opinion, but I know he has alway been an excellent MLA. Vote — that is what is important. Rex Murphy from CBC once said “if

you live in Canada, you have already won the lottery.” You have an excellent community and the freedom to vote. I vote for Rich — he is an amazing brother. Ed Coleman, Quesnel

Stop eaSter violence Editor: Easter and spring conjure up images of hope, renewal, rebirth, and growth. How about translating these images into life-giving practices by doing something new for Easter? Try foregoing carcasses which were once living animal beings who wanted to live, but after a miserable existence, were killed so that humans could eat their flesh in the celebratory practice of placing a dead animal on the Easter dinner table. What kind of conscience or critical thinking do we as humans possess, when we blindly and unconsciously follow habits or traditions that impose violence by killing animals for unnecessary purposes? Instead, consider starting a new and positive life-giving tradition of your own by going pig-free, turkey-free, and animal-free for Easter and beyond. Try Tofurky roast or any plant-based nutritious food for the body. Would this not be more congruent with religious teachings of compassion? This would be true renewal, rebirth, and growth, and would also give hope to animals with whom we share the earth equally but which we often conveniently forget, neglect, and exploit.

H E R I TA G E M E AT S It’s more than just quality meats, it’s a passion. Say goodbye to preservative-packed deli meats at box grocery stores and say hello to wholesome, organic products from Heritage Meats. At this butchery you will find non-medicated fresh meats, homemade salads and more. This is real food made fresh daily with real ingredients. Not pre-bought and pre-packaged supplements you see on box store shelves. Owners Eugene Vandenberg and Eleanor Cox have combined their passion for cooking and small business to bring you the best selection of healthy organic meats in the area. With 25 years experience in the butchery and culinary industry, they have the knowhow and means to bring you superior products. All of their meats are locally sourced and prepared by hand on-site. With a touch of love here, and a dash of spice there it’s just like home cooking. And with no nitrates, preservatives, or msg you are getting the freshest products in their healthiest forms. Let Eleanor and Eugene share their passion in the kitchen with your family at home. All of the beef at Heritage Meats is dry aged, giving it that melt-in-you-mouth quality. What a difference in taste! And

with no nitrates or pre-medication, it will satisfy your body as well. “I can’t stomach those foods with all those preservatives in them,” said Eleanor. “And everything that I make for my customers, I eat myself.” Their homemade salads only have a shelf life of three days, versus large supermarkets where their ordered in, pre-packaged salads will last 30 days. Eleanor says its because of all of the preservatives packed into them- extra ingredients, that just aren’t healthy. Now you really can have your cake and eat it too! Where else will you find healthy products with such a great taste? Come in and browse their selection of cheeses from around the world, fresh made dips, chicken penne, and lasagna. How about ribs cooked right on-site, or pepperoni hand made by Eugene? Or how about trying what real bacon tastes like? You will never want to go back! “In our eyes it’s worth all the time you put into this for the quality that you get,” said Eugene. “You just can’t beat it.” It’s more than just quality meats, it’s a passion.

Langley MP Mark Warawa says there are several elements of the federal budget, released Thursday, that will benefit Langley and its citizens. The $70 billion infrastructure program will help local governments to rebuild infrastructure and plan on a long-term basis. Unlike earlier programs, it does not require a specific project to be shovel-ready. “This will help us prepare for continued prosperity,” he said. Both Langley City and Langley Township have identified the need to replace older infrastructure in their 2103 budgets. The federal government will also more than double the amount made available to pay for veterans’ funeral expenses, from $3,600 to $7,376. Warawa said the process will also be simplified. A total of $3 million is being made available for palliative care training across Canada. The government is also making more expenses relating to the adoption of children tax-deductible, including adoption courses and home studies done on the homes of prospective parents. Warawa said the federal government is also boosting there lifetime capital gains exemption for income tax purposes to $800,000 from $750,000. This will be now be indexed to inflation. He said the federal government’s focus is on jobs, growth and economic prosperity.

After years of renovations and redesigns, it is back to business as usual at Preston GM. “The things we are working on now are pretty easy compared to the things we were working on prior to this,” said Peter Heppner, Preston’s co-owner and general manager. “It is a big undertaking to get through it and try and keep your business running efficiently while you do it.” The dealership remained open throughout the extensive renovations, which altogether took about six years to complete. On Saturday night, the longtime Langley dealership held a grand re-opening private function party to celebrate the completion of some massive renovations.

Kids, vegetables and their Favourite Meals FIONA JANSEN

It seems

to be commonly accepted that children don’t like vegetables. When starting babies on solids experts recommend introducing vegetables before fruits in the hopes of making them more agreeable to baby’s palate. What is it about veggies that kids don’t like? Or is it even true that they won’t eat them? When I was still a young mom my two-year-old son would come to the counter while I was preparing dinner. It was that five o’clock hour when hungry tummies make for cranky kids. Being determined to raise healthy eaters I refused to give cookies at that time of day. Instead he was handed bits of whatever I was chopping: carrots, cucumbers, red peppers. He kept coming back for more. Even when it was onions on the cutting board! Turned out all my kids were like that. Was it because I had such amazing kids? Or was it my fantastic parenting? I’d like to think it was a bit of both, but it was probably neither. Let’s give credit where credit is due: it was the vegetables themselves! I spoke with some kids to get their take on vegetables. I’ll be honest, these were kids I figured would fall nicely into my theory of “if you have to eat them, you’ll learn to love them.” These girls could all answer the question, “What’s your favourite vegetable?” Answer: carrots and corn. But when pressed to choose another vegetable they liked they couldn’t come up with a single one. It’s not looking good for the veggies. If you analyze their favourites and include those enjoyed by my own children you will notice a trend: they tend to be the sweeter vegetables. A handful of red peppers or carrots is almost as sweet as candies. And a bowl of grape tomatoes, well, that’s like eating dessert before dinner! Once they got stuck trying to figure out which other vegetable they liked, I tried a different approach in my interview with the girls. “What would your favourite meal look like?” They wrinkled their noses and

said in unison, “Does it have to include vegetables?” It didn’t have to include them, but I sure hoped it would! “Chicken nuggets and fries with tomato soup, that’s a vegetable!” was one triumphant answer. “Pizza with cheese and pepperoni.”“Corn, potatoes and chicken cordon bleu.” Phew! At least one of them threw a legitimate vegetable in there! While they might not choose vegetables in their dream meal, the girls said they have to eat them “basically every day.” So how is mom getting those greens into them each day? What are the rules at dinner time? Seven-year-old Genoa rolled her eyes and said with a sigh, “Oh, those rules!” It was obvious some of them were hard for her. 1. No getting up unless you ask permission. 2. No crawling under the table. 3. No seconds until you’ve finished your vegetables. (That’s the one I was looking for!) 4. We only have dessert if it’s a one pot meal or if there’s visitors. Rule #3 is the clincher. The rule in some households would be “no dessert if you don’t finish your dinner.” In our house dessert is as exciting as a bowl of applesauce or some cut up fruit. That was generally incentive enough for the kids to eat their greens (except asparagus: only Dad and Mom got dessert that night!) Whatever the method, we can all agree it’s important to get those vegetables inside our kids. Even Genoa knows, “you’d get very sick if you ate sweets all the time.”

CAROL KERSHAW

ant to lose weight? If you are exercising like crazy and still cannot lose weight look at eliminating wheat. I pick on wheat because it is the dominant source of gluten protein in our diet, Unlike other grains wheat has unique traits that make it particularly harmful to our health. Did you know that whole wheat bread increased blood sugar more that table sugar? Studies show that removing grain form overweight patients for 3 months they lost up to forty pounds, and diabetics became non-diabetic! Other beneficial effects from the wheat free diet included increase in energy, disappearance of acid reflux and indigestion, less brain fog, arthritis much improved and psoriasis started to heal. Genetic changes have been made to wheat to increase yield per acre, wheat has been crossbred to make it more resistant to environmental conditions. Modern wheat is not the same grain our grandparents used. Go gluten free for a month and the results will speak for themselves - what have you got to lose?

Estrogen Dominance What do period problems, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, breast lumps, abnormal PAPs and hormonal acne have to do with breast cancer risk?

LORNA R. VANDERHAEGHE, MS

terine fibroids, heavy periods, acne, breast lumps are all conditions associated with too much estrogen in the body called estrogen dominance. We are being bombarded by man-made estrogens in our environment that are increasing our risk of estrogen related cancers. And we are under so much stress our body is making far too much estrogen.

Recipes made healthier

Give your favourite dishes a nutritious makeover with these tips

healthy diet plays a significant role in a person’s overall health. Without a healthy diet, men and women are more susceptible to disease and other potentially harmful ailments. But when many people think of a healthy diet, a lack of flavour is often one of the first things to come to mind. That’s a common misconception, as a diet that’s healthy and full of nutrients can simultaneously be flavourful. Oftentimes, a few minor alterations to a recipe is all it takes to turn the dish from high-risk to healthy. • Trim the fat. No one wants to eat fat, but fat isn’t entirely bad for you. Fat can help your body absorb vitamins A, D, E and K, and replacing fat with something like carbohydrates decreases how much these valuable vitamins are absorbed. But overconsumption of dietary fat can be dangerous, and many people simply need to trim some fat from their diets. One way to do that is to reduce how much butter, shortening or oil you use when cooking. For some recipes, you may be able to cut suggested portions of such ingredients by half without replacing them; however, for others, especially those for baked goods, these items may have to be replaced. In the case of the latter, find a suggested alternative to high-fat

items, and only use half of the highfat item listed in the original recipe. Chances are you won’t taste the difference, but your body will be better for it. • Substitute healthier fare. Substituting items is another way to turn a favourite dish into a healthier dish without altering the flavour dramatically, if at all. For example, instead of cooking with enriched pasta, purchase whole-wheat or whole-grain pastas, which are higher in fibre and lower in calories. If a recipe calls for using milk, choose fat-free milk instead of whole milk. Recipes can even be made healthier by simply cutting back on the main dish and adding more vegetables. • Change your methods. Certain cooking techniques are healthier than others. Frying foods or cooking with fat, oil or salt is not the healthiest way to prepare a meal. Some of your favourite dishes that call for frying or cooking in oil can be just as flavourful if you opt for healthier methods like braising, broiling, grilling, or steaming. When recipes call for basting foods in oil or drippings, forgo these unhealthy options and baste foods in vegetable juice or fat-free broth instead.

Indoor Herb Gardens: FIONA JANSEN

Fresh herbs

frequently appear in recipes. If you made your dinner choice at the spur of the moment you might be disappointed to have to use dried instead. To prevent such culinary sadness the alternative would be to have some fresh herbs growing right in your kitchen window sill. This is not only a matter of convenience, but will also add a wonderful fresh and homey scent to your kitchen even when you’re not cooking. As adorable as it may look to plant all the herbs in one container this is not necessarily the best way. This can inhibit growth and also allow for more aggressive herbs to take over. You should pick up several coordinating pots (6” in diameter) and line them up on your window sill. Make sure your containers have adequate drainage or else be very careful not to overwater. Spring is an excellent time to start your indoor herb garden as young plants are ready for their annual growth spurt. Longer days, increased sunlight and the correct choice of plants will increase your odds of success. The herbs you choose will depend on personal preference, but what follows is a listing of the most popular varieties.

noteworthy flavonoid anti-oxidants, plant fiber, minerals, and vitamins that have proven health benefits. super easy to grow and don’t require much light. • PARSLEY is high in vitamin A, beta-carotene and vitamin C. As a wholesome organic-food it is also a good choice for bone health with vitamin K (536 mg in an average serving). It’s very easy to grow, is låow maintenance and doesn’t require tons of light. It is tougher to start from seed so I recommend buying an established plant in a 4” pot. • OREGANO is rich source of dietary fiber, which helps to control blood cholesterol levels. It is also easy to grow. But does require 6-8 hours of sunlight, so make sure it is in a well lit window (southwestern exposure is best).

• CHIVES are very low in calories; 100 g of fresh leaves provide just 30 calories. Nonetheless, they contain many

a feast for all the senses • THYME: also requires 6-8 hours of sunlight. • ROSEMARY herb parts, whether fresh or dried, are rich source of minerals like potassium, calcium, iron, manganese, copper, and magnesium. This herb prefers to be kept on the dry side so don’t overwater. Some varieties like Tuscan Blue or Blue Spire are more compact which makes them preferable for indoor growing. • BASIL: this is the most popular herb and sells out fast. It can be tricky to grow though. 100 g of fresh BASIL leaves contain astoundingly 5275 mg or 175% of daily required doses of vitamin A. Vitamin A is known to have antioxidant properties and is essential for vision. When transplanting your greenhouse grown starter plants use organic vegetable or all purpose soil, not dirt dug up from your yard. These prepared soils will have vermiculite or perlite to proved better drainage and will be free from pests and organisms that may be thriving outside in your yard. Fertilize your herbs with something promoting leaf growth, not flowers since herbs are grown for their foliage. When you do fertilize, go easy on it, herbs do not require much. When you water do so at the base of the plant, not making the leaves all wet. Allow the water to go through the soil and drain out the bottom. Never leave the plant sitting in a puddle of water. You will notice herbs don’t require as much water as your other houseplants. Keep an eye on them and water when the soil is slightly dry. Yellowing leaves are a sign of

overwatering. Should you be so unfortunate as to get bugs in your herb garden spray the leaves with a solution of Safer Soap. Be sure to drench the leaves, top and bottom, to make sure you get the live bugs and their eggs. When you harvest your herbs keep in mind that the ratio of fresh to dried is about 3:1. You’ll need 3X as much fresh herbs as the recipe dictates in dried. You should also wait until an equal amount or more has grown back before harvesting again. In the cases of your favourite herbs, this might mean having two plants on the go at once. Finally, don’t pick off only

the largest leaves. While they might look tempting, they are also the oldest and most efficient at capturing the sun. Pick off both large and small and leave some of those big ones to continue the important job of photosynthesis. And never pick your herbs completely bare! Your indoor herb garden will tantalize all your senses. The touch of the soil when you plant, the pretty greens growing , the fresh scent in your kitchen, the delicious taste only homegrown can give, and the sounds of delight as dinner guests devour the feast you prepare.

It’s the perfect place to buy fresh, locally grown produce. But the Langley Community Farmers Market is so much more than that, says Angie Quaale. It’s an opportunity to educate children about the origins of their food and to support local farmers. Speaking before Langley City council on March 18, Quaale, the market’s co-chair, offered thanks for a $5,000 community grant received from the City and said the money will be used to purchase equipment such as carts and to upgrade market infrastructure. As the weekly farmers’ market prepares to begin its fifth season on Wednesday, May 22, organizers have signed another

site side of the campus, adjacent to the Langley Bypass. Last year, it was relocated again to the centre court of the university campus — a move that has proved a bit problematic, said Quaale. “We’ve had some challenges with visibility and signage,” she told council. However vendors now have more access to electricity, which is a plus, she added. Like most things, the market requires money to operate and so on Monday, LCFM hosted a long table dinner at Fat Cow and Oyster Bar. The goal of the sold-out, four-course meal, which will feature locally grown and produced food, is to raise between $8,000 and $10,000 for the market. “We’re working hard to be sustainable — to be a market that has a little money in the bank, not scraping by,” said Quaale. So far, she said, the effort appears to be paying off. “The Langley Farmers Market is healthy and well supported by the community.” In 2012 the LCFM tallied 612 vendor/ booth days with an average of 31 vendors participating each week. It welcomed 18,000 visitors throughout the season, an increase of 20 per cent over the previous year, working out to an average of about 900 people per week. “There’s a lot of community participation in the market,” Quaale said. Having producers and consumers come face-to-face, “puts a face to your food,” agreed Quaale. For more information, go to langleyfarmersmarket.com.

They’ve got moves like Jagger Stroke survivors chair dance to today’s Top 40 Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

Whether they are 25 or 85, stroke survivors in Langley have got the moves like Jagger. Marilyn Pittico, stroke support facilitator, said her group of stroke survivors which meets at Walnut Grove Community Centre are seeing amazing physical progress because they love grooving to the sounds of top 10 songs like Maroon 5’s Moves Like Jagger and Gotye’s Somebody That I Used to Know. It all started because Pittico couldn’t find the right exercise DVD to use with her group. “It’s good to exercise, but there was either terrible music or outdated exercise tapes, or the music was too fast,” said Pittico. “Then one day I thought I would let them listen to the music I like that I had on my iPad. I put on “Moves like Jagger” and they came to life.” One of the stroke survivors who has been attending Pittico’s Wednesday sessions for years is just now able to lift his legs up to put his shoes on. His wife credits his enjoyment of the music used in their exercises. “We have choreographed moves. It truly is a chair dance,” she said. “We are doing something that nobody else is doing.” She also plays Katy Perry’s Firework. “They just love the music. We play some of the older stuff, too, like Sugar Sugar, but the new music is a hit,” she said. Pittico will soon mark 18 years of running the Langley Stroke Recovery Group, which includes all ages, and a group she created for young stroke survivors after she found that more and more young adults were having strokes. Now she’s ready to take the

next step, under a new umbrella called Langley Community Support Groups Society. “This makes it so decisions can be made here in Langley and it allows me the growth to take on some extra responsibilities,” she said. “We can be creative and think outside the box, like with the chair dancing.” Pittico wants to open up the groups to others who would otherwise not connect to community due to physical disability or chronic illness. “It’s a really supportive, loving environment for so many people who feel isolated or don’t fit in anywhere else,” she said.

I don’t know how she does it,” said Liz. This September, Pittico is opening up an additional speech-only group, available to any adult who has speech or communication difficulties. Although she already offers speech therapy, she can now provide it to others who need it, like those who have MS and Parkinson’s. “We have no speech therapy in Langley for adults. So right now, after someone is discharged from hospital they have to hire a speech therapist at $150 per hour,” she said. But in the meantime, she does bring in a speech therapist once a month and employs a speech app on the iPads they use. continued, PAGE 24

Old and new at TWU Early April brings a pair of concerts as part of Langley university’s Festival of the Arts, Media and Culture

From Palestrina to Dire straits

A number of talented small ensembles from the School of the Arts, Media and Culture (SAMC) at Trinity Western University present an evening of chamber music, with works by the 16th century composer Palestrina to the 1980s British rock band Dire Straits. TWU’s Renaissance Singers, Piano Quartet, Wind Quintet, Saxophone Quintet, and Guitar Quartet will perform April 3 at 7:30 p.m. The evening will showcase a wide range of styles ranging from the acoustic a cappella vocal harmonies of Palestrina’s Missa Brevis to the “plugged-in” electric guitars of Dire Straits’ Sultans of Swing. Movements from Danzi’s Grand Quintette for wind quintet and Schumann’s Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 47 (comprised of violin, viola, cello and piano) serve to bridge the historic gap. For an eclectic mix of music spanning almost 500 years of musical history, plan to attend this evening of music performed by SAMC Music’s chamber ensembles. The concert will take place in the Instrumental Music Hall, TWU Music Building. Admission is by donation ($5 suggested).

Arts Media and Culture. This work was written especially for fourth-year Music student Esther Cannon, winner of a TWU concerto competition. Cannon, a resident of Langley, is “thrilled to have this unique opportunity. “Playing with an orchestra is so good for a musician’s development, because you learn to work as a team; this is especially true of a concerto because as a soloist, you function like a leader,” she said. The orchestra is excited to be involved in the unveiling of this new work. Music by Copland, Vaughan Williams and Fauré will round out the first part of the program. The concert band’s portion of the concert will feature familiar tunes aplenty. The “Colonel Bogey” March is sure to set toes tapping to start the second half. The infectious

Newfoundland folk song “I’se the B’y” figures prominently in Vincent Gassi’s Canadian Folk Song Trilogy, while the music from the movie Superman and the opera Porgy and Bess will be familiar to many. The evening will culminate with the fireworks of Tchaikovsky’s famous 1812 Overture. Presented as part of the university’s fourth Annual Festival of the Arts, Media and Culture, which runs until April 15. For information on this and upcoming events, visit www.twu.ca/samc. Fireworks and Fauré will be performed on Friday, April 5 at 7:30 p.m. at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church, Langley and on Saturday, April 6 at 7:30 p.m. at Peace Lutheran Church in Abbotsford. Admission to both concerts is by donation ($10 suggested).

You & The Law

PRESENTS Firing a disabled employee Can you replace an employee who becomes disabled and can’t return to work? Firing a disabled employee is a difficult issue. In general, any employee can be let go without cause if given reasonable notice of the termination or severance pay instead. But if the employee can no longer work because of a disability which appears to be permanent, then the employment contract may be said to be “frustrated,” and you may be able to dismiss the employee without giving notice or severance. Consider the case of Janice D. She had worked for 19 years at a desk job when she injured her right elbow in an unrelated fall. Off work for 20 months on disability, she was expected to be off for another seven months. Her boss decided to let her go and offered 12 months’ severance pay, topping up what she would have received in disability payments. Her long-term disability coverage ended two years after kicking in, and she sued her employer for wrongful dismissal, claiming 16 to 18 months’ pay in compensation. The BC Supreme Court decided that the 20-month absence put her disability into the “permanent” category (at the trial, five years after she was let go, no evidence was presented that she could work). Her absence was “one of sufficient duration… to make the further performance of the employee’s obligations under the contract of employment either impossible or radically different from those contemplated by the agreed terms of employment.” However, it’s rare for an employer to win a dismissal case on the basis of “frustration” due to an employee’s illness. Several cases suggest that if a disability benefits plan is offered at work, then the employment contract can’t be frustrated, because you’ve contemplated the potential disability of the employee. You must be reasonable when determining

if an employee on medical leave is likely to return to work. A lumber mill had to pay 12 months’ pay in lieu of notice after hiring someone to replace the plaintiff, who took 16 months off work to recover from a car accident. While the plaintiff’s disability was of a considerable duration, other employees had returned to work after a year off sick, and the employer should have asked the plaintiff if he planned to return to work before replacing him. You must also be careful that a termination doesn’t affect the employee’s entitlement to long-term disability benefits. Most disability plans won’t cover an employee who isn’t actively employed at the time of the claim for disability. Firing the employee before they start receiving long-term disability could make you liable for all the benefits the employee loses. Consider too BC’s Human Rights Code. Even if you give reasonable notice or pay in lieu, this won’t help if you’ve discriminated against the employee on the basis of a disability. You have a duty to “accommodate” a disabled employee, e.g., by allowing the employee time off for physiotherapy. But you can be excused if the level of accommodation needed would result in “undue hardship” to you or endanger the safety of others. The Supreme Court of Canada has said that work is a fundamental aspect of a person’s life, providing not only financial support but a sense of self-worth too. Employers should consult their lawyer if considering dismissing a disabled employee. And any employee who feels they have been wrongfully fired should see their lawyer too.

UFV students step up to volunteer with stroke recovery from PAGE 21

Pittico is especially proud of the recruitment of University of Fraser Valley kinesiology and occupational therapy students who have dedicated time to volunteer to work with her groups. “The huge part of the success of our groups is the mentoring and one-on-one interaction with UFV students. These students are so keen and the value of what they are learning here will help them be better when they go out to work in OT or in phsyio,” she said. “Often students go into the field only dealing with acute care. Here they get to see they can offer hope and recovery to stroke survivors,” she said. UFVC student-volunteer Nav Sohi spent two years volunteering with the stroke recovery groups. He now works with Pittico to recruit new student volunteers. “I got to understand and admire the mindset of a stroke survivor,” said Sohi. “They have been through so much, however they develop the mindset of persistence and acceptance to never stop trying to reach their goal.” Sohi said Pittico is a key to their successes. “She is a passionate leader who provides such a great community atmosphere.” The winner of a Women of Excellence award gave up a career in real estate to dedicate her life to helping stroke survivors after caring for her own father who suffered a stroke. After 18 years, she is just as passionate about bringing hope and recovery than ever before. “I just couldn’t retire and leave the group,” she said. “One of the members said to me ‘You lifted me up when I felt I didn’t fit in anywhere else.’ That gives me even more energy to carry on.” But to make all her dreams for the program a reality, she needs reliable donors. Langley Cruise-In has been a steady supporter. And the group recently received a donation from realtors from the Langley Homelife Benchmark Realty. She challenges other businesses to do the same. She needs $10,000 to make all her dreams a reality, she said. For more information call Pittico at 604-8824672.

Cooke a quick study for Huskies A stellar first season for goalie Sienna Cooke Gary ahuja

Sports Reporter

n the future, Sienna Cooke plans on following in her father’s footsteps and stopping criminals, but for the time being, she is content on stopping hockey pucks. And judging by her freshman season for the Saint Mary’s Huskies women’s ice hockey team, she has done a fine job of that so far. Not too bad considering when she send out a highlight DVD for prospective coaches, the Huskies’ coaching staff, initially tossed hers aside. “We initially were waiting on another goalie, but then I decided to take a look,” admitted coach St. Mary’s coach Chris Larade. After being sold on what he saw, a scholarship offer was extended and Cooke made the move from Surrey to Halifax. “We didn’t really know what to expect as far as how she would adjust to our level,” Larade said. And Cooke came in and put together a spectacular freshman season. “She came in and singlehandedly won four or five games for us and kept us in all the games,” Larade said. “Her mental toughness and poise in the nets was contagious for our group, which made it easier for them to play in front of her.” Cooke, an 18-year-old who graduated from Langley Secondary last June, was named the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) rookie of the year, a first team all-star and to the conference all-rookie team. She was also named to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) all-rookie team.

Nick PEARCE/SMU Huskies

Sienna Cooke had an oustanding first season with the Saint Mary’s Huskies, earning the Atlantic University Sport conference rookie of the year award. The 18-year-old spent the previous three years as part of the Langley Secondary hockey academy. Not bad for someone who didn’t hit the ice until age 11 and didn’t play rep hockey until her last year of midget. “Just getting to this point is such an achievement, how far I have gotten,” she said. When Cooke began the sport, playing at the house level, she played out at first. But an injury to the goaltender and then a subsequent call-up for the goalie to the rep level, opened up an opportunity for someone to don the pads and control the crease. Cooke jumped at the chance. “I had my heart set on playing goalie because my mom, Lori, she was a goaltender back in her day, as well as my grandfather (Robert Smith),” she explained. And it was a steep learning curve for Cooke’s new

SWAN-E-SET BAY RESORT & COUNTRY CLUB

position. “I was awful; I was basically Bambi on ice,” she said with a laugh. “I just stuck to it and after a lot of practice, got a little bit better. “Lots of practice and dedication.” She also switched schools, transferring from North Surrey Secondary in her Grade 10 year so she could attend the LSS hockey academy. “I definitely have to give Langley Secondary for helping me achieve my goals,” Cooke said. It meant waking at 5 a.m. so she could make it to 7:45 a.m. practice before school. After classes, she would rush home, do her homework, have dinner and then attend practice with her hockey team. That was

followed by more homework before bed. Add in attending goalie schools, and there were weeks where she was on the ice seven or eight times. But in the end, it has paid off, especially with the help of her coaches. “I don’t think I would have made it to where I am without them,” she added, referring to Jamie Fiset, who runs the hockey academy. “He taught me so many things on and off the ice and so many life lessons that I don’t think I could have learned anywhere else.” She also said that Jordan Sigalet, a goaltender coach with the American Hockey League’s Abbotsford Heat, has had a significant impact on her development through goalie

camps and clinics Cooke attended. And all that hard work and dedication paid off. “I had no idea what the year had in store for me,” she said about moving across the country. She was joining a hockey team which won a single game in 2011/12 (1-22-1) so Cooke knew the chance was there for some playing time. She didn’t expect to play all but three games as the team went 10-120. Cooke had a 1.86 goals against average and a .934 save percentage. Those numbers ranked her sixth and third, respectively, in the conference, and she also played the most minutes of any goaltender. Most importantly, she helped the Huskies advance to the AUS championship game, where they lost 4-1 to the St. FX X-Women. Larade sees Cooke as a big future of the Huskies program. “I can see her being a solid goalie for us for the next three years,” he said. “Her love for the game and willingness to work to get better are great assets for our team. “She has stepped in and performed like a veteran both on and off the ice.” Cooke is studying psychology and plans on joining the RCMP — her father Derek Cooke is the superintendent of the Langley detachment and her stepmother is also an RCMP officer — upon completion of her schooling. That doesn’t mean she is ready to hang up the skates just quite yet. “I guess Team Canada would be the end goal,” she said. “I think every hockey player either wants to get there or the NHL, but the NHL is definitely an unrealistic goal for me. “(But) I will keep playing until I have to quit.”

Attendance up at tourney More than 4,400 fans watched boys final while 1,718 saw girls title game Gary ahuja Times Sports

More than 6,000 fans took in the respective B.C. AAA boys and girls provincial basketball championship finals at the Langley Events Centre earlier this month. During the boys final on March 16, 4,443 fans watched the Walnut Grove Gators capture their first title in school — and Langley — history with a 59-53 victory over the White Rock Christian Warriors. And the week prior, on March 9, a total of 1,718 fans were in attendance to see the South Kamloops Titans defeat the Brookswood Bobcats 59-49. It was the Titans second straight provincial title. “Generally speaking, we were very happy (with the numbers),” said Jared Harman, the LEC director of business development. The boys tournament

Attendance was once again on the rise at the B.C. boys AAA basketball championships earlier this month with 4,443 fans taking in the championship final at the Langley Events Centre. drew a total of 15,648 fans over the course of the five days. There were also another 25,635 fans who watched portions of the tournament online, including 4,584 on the final day. All of the numbers represented an increase over the first two years of the championships, which just completed their third year in the LEC’s arena bowl. “For us, with the boys tournament, our goal is to increase the attendance every year,

which we were able to accomplish,” Harman said. The girls tournament, which is contested in the gymnasium, came to the LEC for the first time in 2013. A total of 4,688 fans watched the action live over the four days while an additional 8,024 viewed the event online via webcast. The LEC also hosted the B.C. junior girls provincial tournament with 2,510 fans in attendance and another 5,897 who accessed

the action online. In the championship final, it was W.J. Mouat defeating St. Thomas More. Next year, all three tournaments will once again be contested at the LEC, as will a fourth event, the B.C. junior boys provincial championships. Harman said they have received great feedback, especially from the athletes. “Our primary goal is to make sure the athletes have a wonderful experience,” he said.

Curlers representing three countries will be in Langley and Cloverdale this week for the annual international U18 curling championships. These young, highly competitive curlers representing clubs from Canada, the United States and Japan will compete over a five-day tournament in an event dedicated for athletes under the age of 18. It provides an opportunity for young athletes to mature and enhance their curling skills in an international junior competition. “In curling, a child does not need to be bigger, faster or stronger to grow from playground to podium,” said Al Kersey, event chair. In addition to the tournament, competitors will also have the opportunity to participate in a high performance development camp to focus on honing their skills. With the guidance

of four international curling coaches, the curlers will work on team building skills and mental and physical prep before games. The U18 championships attract some of the best young curlers in the world, and many go on to compete at professional levels. Alumni Rachel Homan of Ontario won the 2013 Scotties Canadian women’s curling championship in February and competed for Team Canada at the world women’s curling championships in Riga, Latvia from March 16 to 24. Another past competitor, Team Brown, from the Kamloops Curling Club just won the 2013 Tim Horton’s junior women’s B.C. championship and competed for Team Canada at the 2013 junior world championships in Sochi, Russia. “With the increased television exposure this

winter, curling has become the ‘hot’ sport due to the reduced hockey season,” said Mel Kositsky, host chair. “This event has a history of producing a number of today’s champions and hopefully the communities of Surrey and Langley will come out and watch these future rock stars.” ••••• The opening ceremonies will be held on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the Cloverdale Curling Club while the Langley Curling Club hosts the closing ceremonies on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. The finals will be held on Sunday at 1:30 in Cloverdale and 2 p.m. in Langley. The 2013 International U-18 Curling Championships will be held at the Langley Curling Club, 20699 42 Ave. and at the Cloverdale Curling Club, 6150 176 St. For more information visit www.U18curling.ca.

Experience The Excitement

Kodiaks on the brink The Aldergrove Kodiaks are on the brink of elimination. The junior B hockey club dropped a 4-2 decision to the Richmond Sockeyes on Sunday to fall behind three games to none in the best-of-seven PJHL championship series. The game was played at Richmond Arena. The Kodiaks will look to stave off elimination tonight (Tuesday) when they host game four at the Aldergrove Arena. Richmond, the top team during the regular season, won game one 8-2 and then took game two 5-0. In Sunday’s contest, the Sockeyes raced out to a 2-0 lead after the first eight minutes, getting goals from Dean Allison and Daniell Lange, the latter coming on the power play. They then iced the game with goals 27 seconds apart from Trevor Lima and Austin Adamson in the second period. The Kodiaks made it 4-1 with a goal from Spencer McHaffie late in the second and then cut the lead to two with an Adam Callegari goal 63 seconds into the third. But they would get no closer, falling 4-2. Cole MacInnes made 28 saves in the defeat as Richmond out-shot Aldergrove 32-25.

Easter Savings Event! Brookswood alum give back

Former rugby players step up to help current Grade 8 team

Some former Brookswood students have not forgotten their roots, stepping up to help their alma matter purchase some much-needed rugby jerseys. Alumni from as far as northern Saskatchewan and Alberta came to Langley’s Andreas Restaurant on March 11 to give back to a

for the Vaydo family, who was able to honour their son Andrew, who passed away in 2011. “As a family, we are glad that we are able to help out Brookswood rugby and keep our son’s memory alive at the same time,” said Randy Vaydo, Andrew’s father. Giving back to the program was a common theme for many grads. “Alumni were happy and ecstatic to give back to a program that meant so much to them,” said Dino Camparo, a teacher and rugby co-ordinator at Brookswood. “It was wonderful to touch base with the alumni and see what they are doing today. “Each player has their cherished memories of tours, fundraising events, practices, games — both the ones they won and lost — and the glory days of high school.”

“The alumni hope the new generation of players can experience what they did from the game,” he said. “The game is more than just scoring tries and tackling, it’s about teamwork, building community and being the best person you can be,” added Brad Maw, a Brookswood alum. The current players were extremely appreciative of their new jerseys. “It’s an honour to have past players step forward and give back to their school,” said Spencer Mitchell. “We are looking forward to wearing these jerseys and paying tribute to former Brookswood grads and coaches.” ••••• There are still eight jerseys which require sponsorship.
