Princeton double murder suspect lived in Langley

Compost plant approved for Fort Langley

This Ain’T no Poodle skirT

Glenval facility will be limited to yard waste, wood chips, Metro Vancouver says

Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

The man charged in connection with a triple shooting in Princeton March 30 had lived in Langley for many years. John Ike Koopmans, 49, who now lives in Princeton, is charged with two counts of second degree murder and one count of attempted murder after the bodies of a 44-yearold man and 32-year-old woman were found on a rural property in east Princeton. A 48-year-old man suffering from several gun shot wounds was also rushed to hospital from the scene. He is now in stable condition. RCMP said Koopmans was arrested the next day after a lengthy search for him. Police also said the suspect and all three victims were well known to each other. But police said the motive of the alleged killer will come out in the court proceedings. Koopmans has a criminal past in Langley as well. In January 2005, Koopmans was charged with assault, uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm and fear of injury/damage by another person in Langley. He was convicted for the fear of injury and fined $500. He also had minor traffic infractions here. In February 2010, he was charged with drunk driving in Princeton. He took the horticulture program at one time at Kwantlen Polytechnic University at the Langley campus. He also went to high school locally. He makes his next court appearance April 24. — With files from Kamloops This Week

'Highest Prices Paid for Gold & Silver'

Metro Vancouver has approved a controversial composting facility at 25330 88 Ave. The regional authority issued a solid waste licence to Glenval Organics on April 9. The licence is limited to yard waste and wood chips and does not include smellier food waste. Glenval Organics CEO Gary Nickel was pleased by the decision. “It’s going to be great for the region,” Nickel said Monday. The proposal generated a storm of criticism, with opponents dominating a public hearings. Langley Township council unanimously voted against the Glenval Organics project in February. Glenval was asking Township council to refer its application to the provincial Agricultural Land Commission for permission to operate the compost plant under non-farm-use regulations. Glenval can operate the compost plant on the property under the agricultural act, but that limits it to selling half of the compost it makes while keeping the rest on the site. Under those rules, the company projects the plant would run out of room to store the compost in five to seven years and would have to close.

A scene of ‘complete carnage’ Fort Langley man describes chaotic scene as bombs explode during Boston Marathon, killing two and injuring dozens more Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

“Complete carnage and bedlam,” is how Langley’s Al Mcbeth described the scene at the Boston Marathon finish line. Two explosive devices went off at the finish line on Monday, killing at least two people and injuring dozens more. With sirens blazing in the background, Mcbeth spoke to Shelby Thom of CHNL Radio in Kamloops from his cellphone, shortly after the blasts occurred. Along with his 22-year-old daughter Taylor McBeth, they were on the sidelines to support his wife Cathy Gutkowski who was expected, along with fellow Langley runner Paula Hillier, to come through the finish line just as the first blast went off. “We were 1,000 feet form the finish line. It was 2:45 p.m. EST when there was a very loud explosion. The first thing I thought it was a cannon saluting Patriot’s Day,” said Mcbeth. “Then I saw glass, smoke and bodies flying all over the place. Taylor and I stood in the middle of the marathon lane and 30 seconds later the other explosion

happened on the other side of us,” he said. “There was people lying all over the road and sidewalk. I have a very graphic image of a police officer running down the street with a three-year-old boy in his arms saying to the boy ‘hang on, hang on.’ It was complete carnage and bedlam all over the place. Police, fire, every EMS device is in full use.” It appears seven runners from Langley participated in the Boston Marathon: Jason Falkner, Angus Maclean, Mike Palichuk, Char Roberts and Athol Symonds, as well as Gutkowski and Hillier. Three runners from Langley Peninsula Runners clinics who participated in the marathon have confirmed they weren’t hurt in the blasts, said Peninsula Runners Langley manager and clinics leader Kathie Schellenberg. “They are shaken up but are OK,” said Schellenberg, who has ran in the Boston Marathon three times. Because of Patriot’s Day, everyone has the day off locally, leaving many to line the race as fans. “The race is lined from start to

The noise is amazing,” she said. The Boston Marathon is the most sought after, prestigious race and only

marathon that requires runners to qualify. “Our prayers and thoughts go out to those who were hurt in

this tragedy,” wrote a Facebook post by Langley Peninsula Runners. The 2013 Boston Marathon database notes 241 of the nearly 27,000 race competitors hail from B.C. South Surrey lawyer Alan Benson, 60, had finished the race and was about six blocks away when the bombs went off. “All of a sudden we heard this massive explosion. I could see this huge ball of smoke where the finish line is,” Benson told Peace Arch News from his hotel about an hour later. “I was worried about Dee (Makepeace, who started about 20 minutes behind Benson). I knew she was coming in after me, and I was worried about my wife and daughter because they were down not far from the finish line.” As The Times went to press, there was no indication of anyone taking responsibility for the explosions. It had been reported that cellphone service was shut down in the afternoon because the signal can be used to trigger a bomb. However, that report was later said to be false. The JFK Presidential Library also had afire, which may have been linked to the other explosions. — With files from reporter Shelby Thom from CHNL Radio and Peace Arch News

Eighteen months for vicious attack outside pub Monique TaMMinga Times reporter

A man “very well known” to Langley police and court houses across B.C. has been sentenced to 18 months jail time for the vicious bat attack of a 19-year-old Langley man outside the Artful Dodger in September 2011. Wade Corey Bryant, 33, entered a surprise guilty plea April 3 in Provincial Court in Surrey. Along with jail time, he was given three

years probation after his release and a 20 year firearm ban. He already has a lifetime firearm ban from a previous conviction of robbery in 2005 in Langley. In fact, Bryant’s record is a mile long, with convictions of uttering threats in 2010 and 2004, as well as convictions of robbery, possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a prohibited weapon along with dozens of breaches, including in this case as well. All these crimes took place in Langley. On Sept. 11, 2011, around 1 a.m. the

Langley RCMP were called to the Artful Dodger Pub, said Cpl. Holly Marks at the time. Investigation revealed that a 19-yearold victim was in a truck with two friends, getting ready to leave, when Bryant began hitting the truck with a bat. The victim got out of the truck and was hit in the head with the bat. The man with the bat fled in another vehicle. When police arrived, the victim was awake, but incoherent, Marks said. He was taken to hospital in critical condition.

Police arrested Bryant three days after the attack charging him with assault with a weapon, aggravated assault, and mischief over $5,000. The victim and his friends didn’t know Bryant, said police. They were at the pub to shoot pool. The victim was hit in the head with a bat which caused a brain injury. When he was rushed to hospital he was put in a drug induced coma. The victim had to learn how to talk, eat and walk again.

The community has come together to offer what they can to help an amazing 10-year-old Langley girl who was diagnosed last year with a lifethreatening disease. A total of $26,000 was raised and all 350 tickets sold for “A Night For Selena” fundraiser held on Saturday night at Cascades Casino Summit Theatre. Selena Yorke, a Langley Meadows Grade 5 student, has been diagnosed with a rare disease called Friedreich’s Ataxia, a neuromuscular disorder that affects every cell in her body including her heart. There is no cure. Already, Selena is losing the ability to walk and uses a wheelchair part time. “There is still a lot to do to help and numerous large expenses they will face in the future but at least it can help some,” said one of the night’s organizers Amber Medeiros, who is friends with the Yorkes. The Yorkes are facing numerous expenses, including a stairlift for their home that will cost around $11,000 and a vehicle with a wheelchair lift which can costs upwards of $60,000. They also needed to renovate the bathroom at a cost of around $30,000.

Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times

Parents Cari and Brad Yorke with son Noah and daughter Selena, 10, who was diagnosed with a life threatening disease a year ago called Friedreich’s Ataxia. The Yorkes were the recipients of a brand new walk-in bathtub and shower from Canadian Safe Step Tubs to help Selena as her disease progresses. But on Saturday morning, the Yorkes were surprised with the arrival of a walk-in tub and walk-in shower donated by Canadian Safe Step Walk-In Tub Co. Canadian production manager Kevin Balmer read Selena’s story in The Times and was so touched he asked his company to put her on top of their Safe Step Cares program.

As well, Langley Fine Arts School will donate all the proceeds from its upcoming play The Importance of Being Ernest running April 18 to 26. Admission is $10. Further details at langleytimes.com.

Wally Martin runs for Greens Frank Bucholtz Times Reporter

One of the “greenest guys in Langley” will be running for the B.C. Green Party in the Langley riding. Wally Martin, with his wife Sharon, is the co-owner of the Princess and the Pea Bed and Breakfast in Murrayville, an historic building that he rebuilt board by board, after securing a 99-year lease from the Township to restore and operate it. It was originally built in 1887 as the Travellers Hotel. He has lived in Langley since 1968. He is also a former Environmentalist of the Year in Langley. This is an award that was initiated by MP Mark Warawa when he was parliamentary secretary to the minister of the environment. It is awarded annually to individuals, organizations and young people who work for improvement of the environment. Martin is a former federal Liberal, but has now embraced

the Green cause for the upcoming provincial election. He is a former realtor and builder, and in 1980 built the first Double E (Energy Efficient) house in B.C., setting a new standard for house building in the province. The B.C. Building Code subsequently reflected his approach to EE construction, using R25 insulation and triple glaze windows. He has initiated many energy efficient and organic practices at his bed and breakfast, including the installation of solar panels and reduction of electrical energy use by 80 per cent. He is now an Independent Power Producer and sells energy back to BC Hydro. Martin is also active in the campaign to stop the spread of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), and his establishment is GMO-free. He sees GMOs as having an effect on the B.C. salmon fishery, as well as agriculture. In the past, he has actively campaigned against Tourism

Langley, which levies a tax on hotels, including his. He has stated that it does not bring any tourist business to his establishment. He is also there volunteer booking agent for the historic Murrayville Hall, located across the street from his business. “I really like the fact the Greens look forward seven generations,” he said about his decision to run for the BC Green Party. “I’m running to make the world a better place for our kids and grandkids. I wholly embrace the Green Party policies based on economic and environmental sustainability.” As an MLA, he pledges to work toward equality for everyone across the social spectrum. “I won’t be representing just the few,” he says. “I will work hard to support those who are unable to achieve their best successes on their own.” The Greens have yet to name a candidate in the Fort Langley-Aldergrove riding.

being penalized for being honest, while owners of illegal suites get away scotfree. Council has also allowed for enforcement officers to incur overtime to proactively look for illegal suites through MLS listings and possible neighbourhood canvassing. “It’s good [councillor] Kim Richter got us to take a second look at this,” said Councillor Bob Long about phasing the new tax in.

Having a secondary suite in the Township of Langley will now cost money, but council is trying to soften the blow by giving home owners a break for the first few years. At the April 8 afternoon meeting, council unanimously passed a bylaw that will see existing owners of registered secondary suites have the license fee of $350 cut in half for a period of three years, unless

that property changes hands. As long as a home owner registers his or her suite by Dec. 13, the Township will wave the 30 per cent utility and water increase until July 2, 2014. Those with family members living in suites would be exempt from utility fees, and only pay an annual fee of $175. This phase-in of the new costs is a result of frustration expressed by registered suite owners, who feel they are

Sport-induced injuries get the most press. But car accidents are by far the most common source of concussions – which, in some cases, have life-long effects. A 2010 decision of the Supreme Court of BC dealt with such a case. “Helen” (not her real name), 17, was a passenger in a truck that drove off the road and hit a tree. Although she was wearing her seatbelt, her forehead struck the windshield so hard that it starred the windshield. She suffered a mild concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) – terms the court said were interchangeable. She also suffered neck and back injuries and soft tissue injuries. The case was prudently brought to trial seven years after the accident, at which time Helen was still suffering from after-effects. This allowed the court to evaluate the longer term consequences that can follow from such brain injuries. Before the mishap, Helen was a delight to her family and friends. She had a fun-loving, outgoing personality, did reasonably well in school and put most of her energy into her first love, sports. The supervisor at her first part-time job (when she was 15) described her as “fun loving, chatty, crazy, a joy to have around.” Her plan was to become a police officer, and she likely would have been able to achieve that career goal or succeed at an alternative career. After the accident, and well after the immediate effects of the impact had passed, a different picture emerged. While she worked hard to regain her former self, Helen was no longer organized, punctual or reliable. On college and university team projects, she was disorganized and always late, and her written communications were poor. Unlike before, she needed study aids like cue cards as well as frequent note reviews. She could only handle a reduced course load and took longer to earn her college diploma and

university degree. She lost her first job after university because of performance difficulties. Her emotional and social profile changed as well. She suffered from serious depression for months after the accident. Long term, her personality became volatile. Her temperament could change quickly and she could become mean. She would sometimes say hurtful things, without realizing the effects of her words. She became moody and a sometimes difficult person to be around. Helen’s career prospects, as well as her ability to enjoy life and carry out ordinary tasks without assistance, were much reduced. In short, her life changed permanently for the worse. The court in this case pointed out that “mild” concussion or MTBI refers to the physical damage to the brain not the potential consequences, which in exceptional cases can be long-lasting and severe. There is no single objective test to establish MTBI, which may exist even if, as here, it wasn’t detected by an MRI scan. The court assessed Helen’s lost career opportunities and reduced earning capacity at $1 million. It also awarded her compensation for the costs of future care and other losses. This case shows how important it can be to have a thoroughly prepared and well-presented case in order to bring out the sometimes subtle consequences of a concussion – before-and-after differences in cognitive abilities plus changes in social skills, behaviour, mood and personality – all brought about by a “mild” concussion.

compensation.

Township homeowners will have to pay as much as $580 a year under the new secondary suite bylaw if they don’t register their Councillor suite Bob Long by the December deadline. The critics said the 1,000 homeowners who have properly registered their suites will be the first to pay, not the estimated 10,000 to 12,000 owners of illegal secondary suites in the Township. Township staff estimate the suite fee could bring in over $200,000 (after expenses) this year, rising to nearly $700,000 by 2015.

Is terrorism back?

Pocketbook flying

wo explosions near the finish line of the famed Boston Marathon seem to indicate that terrorism attacks continue, with large, highprofile events in the United States the favoured targets. As of the time of writing, there was no proof that terrorists had planted the two explosions. At least one other explosive device was found near the scene and was detonated by authorities. There were at least two fatalities and very serious injuries, and the exact toll won’t be known right away. There were also reports of people losing limbs near the site of the explosions. It is almost certain that these attacks were well-planned, and this was no accident. Anyone who pays attention to American culture knows that the Boston Marathon is among the most prestigious races of its type, and attracts major media attention. This is tailor-made for terrorists, who crave publicity. Their purpose is to scare large numbers of people, bring attention to themselves and show the United States and other major countries that, no matter how hard they try, they can’t completely stop these types of attacks. Terrorists seek, more than anything else, to disrupt the way of life that most people in North America and Europe and a few other parts of the world enjoy. They want to disrupt democracy and bring chaos, confusion and death to others — often claiming that they are simply paying back western countries for past misdeeds. The Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, of course, were the worst terrorist attacks in living memory — but there have been others, in Bali, London and Mumbai. The culprits are a varied lot. While many attacks have been attributed to Al-Qaeda, the Oklahoma City bombings on April 19, 1995 were the work of a group of Americans angry at their own government. Canada, while it has escaped serious terrorist attacks, has had a number of near-misses. Several years ago, a large group of young people were arrested outside Toronoto, and they had definite plans to set off explosions and conduct high-profile kidnappings. Just recently, it has been learned that two of the extremists who attacked an Algerian gas plant in January were from London, Ontario. Two other young men from that city have also been linked to extremism. Terrorism is a sad fact of life in our modern age.

lancing at CTV British Columbia News on the web, there was a poll question that has huge implications for air travel. Bellingham International Airport saw 61,402 people fly out in March, surpassing the old record of 55,407 set in July 2012. CTV’s web poll asks: Would you consider driving to Bellingham to save money on a flight? Many people, including some locals, do so. When it comes to air travel, especially within Canada, those in charge of the carriers need to give their heads a shake. For my wife and I to fly from Comox to Edmonton return, it was going to cost us approximately $900. By cashing in some Alaska Airlines points, it cost the two of us $125 to fly from Bellingham (change planes in Seattle) to Edmonton return. So even when you add in $160 return for B.C. Ferries, a night in a hotel in Bellingham and $38 to park our car for a week, we’re still nearly $500 in the black compared to flying out of Comox. It caused a little confusion at the border when the guard asked us our purpose for entering the U.S. We were so pleased to be saving $500 we couldn’t wait to give him the good news and at the same time slam the Canadian system. “I guess I would do the same thing,” he said. “Have a good trip.” We had a similar experience in Edmonton with a Canadian Border Services officer, and she also agreed it sounded like smart way to travel. Canadian travellers from the Lower Mainland and the Fraser Valley are nothing new to the folks in Bellingham. The hop over the border for a cheap flight would be nothing to them. But when it’s worth the while of Vancouver Islanders to eat the cost of the ferry ride and a hotel, that’s got to cause a little concern for the airline folks who fly from here. Like many people, I’ll fly the skies that are friendliest to my pocketbook. —Chris Hamlyn, Nanaimo News Bulletin The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Speedway has no place in a park Editor: I was unimpressed with your front page coverage of the proposal to establish a race track in Campbell Valley (The Times, April 11), given that there were no comments from anyone other than Langley Speedway supporters. There are plenty of people who oppose the ridiculous suggestion that car races should be revived in this nature and equestrian park, and your paper couldn’t find one person to interview? As a member of the Campbell Valley Park Association, as a resident who lives beside this nature and equestrian park, and as a concerned community member, I see nothing positive about such a proposal. The former speedway in Campbell Valley Park is nothing but a track surrounded by thick vegetation and equestrian and walking trails. Imagine the impact on the park, to build a modern-day race track. With respect to its agricultural and

speedway past, Campbell Valley Park was created as a nature and equestrian park. It also functions to protect the quality of the aquifer in Langley. A speedway retrofit in this park would not only be inconsistent with its current use patterns, it would be extremely noisy, produce greenhouse gases, require equestrian and hiking trails to be diverted, and require huge amounts of parking space. This in itself would impact on the quantity and quality of habitat in the park, and create massive traffic issues on 16 Avenue, which is already considered an overused and very dangerous road. More traffic would inevitably cause more wildlife road kill. The race noise would spook horses and degrade the park experience for family picnics, dogwalkers, and hikers and naturalists. The sanctity and green space of this park becomes all the more important as plans to develop Brookswood and

move thousands of people into this area proceed. The Campbell Valley Park Association has consistently opposed any proposition to re-establish the speedway. The Langley Speedway Historical Society is very much aware of this, and its members have stated on numerous occasions that they did not intend to rebuild the speedway. Yet last week, they advertised their proposal to rebuild the speedway on radio and newspapers and made a proposal to the Metro Vancouver parks committee. This doesn’t sound like a group that can be trusted to work with the community or have the benefit of the park in mind. What really should be done is that the site be restored to a natural forest, so that it is consistent with the current status of this park. Christine Bishop, Langley

Reopening speedway is a contradiction Editor: Re: “Fans want Metro to reopen Langley track,” (The Times, April 11). Do these racing cars use a form of fuel which does not pollute the environment?

The contradiction with the carbon tax and what it is trying to achieve. and the speedway reopening request is blatantly obvious. How can Metro Vancouver support such an action?

If this speedway gets the green light to operate, then the carbon tax should be given the red light to stop immediately. Diana-Lynne Rodgers, Langley

A major contrast in fundraising dinners Editor: I was watching the TV news one morning last week, and heard about the BC Liberal gala, $400 per person fundraiser, with approximately 1,800 people in attendance. Wow, that’s quite a score. It kinds of put into perspective the fundraiser we hosted for the BC Con-

servative candidate, Rick Manuel, who is running in Fort Langley-Aldergrove. We had an awesome turnout (at least 80 people) who paid $20 each at a barbecue. We also had a silent auction which was very well supported. I am sure you can figure out we

didn’t make the big bucks the Liberals did, but we had a wonderful bunch of people looking for a change. Thank you to all who came out to support Rick. He will work hard for us. Yea David, boo Goliath. Roberta Lee, Langley

Cutting corporate, union donations makes sense Editor: It’s important to know what electoral finance reform would allow and not allow (“Financing provincial elections,” editorial, The Times, April 11). It would stop some of Alberta’s wealthiest individuals from donating to B.C.’s political parties, as some do today even though they can’t vote in B.C. It would stop corporations and unions from writing cheques to their favourite political party, leaving the impression — if not the reality — of undue influence. Corporations and unions also can’t vote. The

But it won’t stop them from participating in the political process. It’ll just be in their voice, not someone else’s. And their spending will be limited in a campaign, as it is today. Third-party spending limits have been deemed constitutional by the Supreme Court of Canada. As the court noted in 2004: “If a few groups are able to flood the electoral discourse with their message, it is possible, indeed likely, that the voices of some will be drowned out.” And that’s why it’s time to take what’s left of big money out of B.C. politics.

Since 2005, corporations and unions have donated $60 million to the B.C. Liberals and NDP. In the same period — as a result of federal legislation introduced by Jean Chretien and further strengthened by Stephen Harper — not a single cent has flowed from corporations and unions to Canada’s federal political parties. Yet, Canada still has a “robust political tradition,” as will B.C. when similar rules are adopted here. Dermod Travis, IntegrityBC

For now, it looks like Vancouverites will have to head to the Fraser Valley to sink their teeth into this savoury new appetizer. "The hosts have tried encouraging a downtown pub to add bacon-wrapped chicken wings to their menu but they were told they were too labour intensive," said Deanna, who urges Times readers to come in today to try it for themselves. "Until April 19, have your wings wrapped in bacon for no extra charge." The Fox and Fiddle has also introduced

INSTORE SPECIAL ONLY – SALE EXCLUDES SPECIAL ORDERS

Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

Later this week, Township residents will get their chance to comment on a proposed $2.7 million, 20-year plan to boost agricultural activity and reduce conflict between urban neighbourhoods and nearby farms. An open house on the Agricultural Viability Strategy (AVS) will be held on Thursday, April 18, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Township civic facility at 20338 65 Ave. The 101-page AVS was developed by a 10-member task force. It proposes a four-part plan to provide a “welcoming business environment for farming,” services to encour-

age “agri-industrial hubs” that would process locally grown food within Langley, measures to create a secure agricultural land base, and rules to ensure “best farm management practices” are used by local farmers. Among the suggested 34 initiatives, 86 policies and 85 actions are the creation of a farmers’ institute to represent agricultural interests, regulations requiring notifying home buyers when “the use of their properties may be impacted by normal farm practices” and incentives to encourage food processors to build plants in Langley to process locally-grown food. Agriculture occupies more than three-quarters of the Township’s 316 square kilometres and Langley has onehalf of all the farms operating in Metro

Vancouver A staff report to council calls the $2.7 million cost of the AVS a “relatively small investment” for an industry that generates more than $277 million annually. A Township survey of more than 1,400 Langley residents conducted for the AVS shows that farming is “very” or “somewhat” important to 95 per cent of urban and 96 per cent of rural respondents. The written announcement of the open house by the Township notes that the event is not intended to deal with propane cannon use, an issue another task force has been discussing. Following the open house, the plan will come back to council for a vote on approval and implementation.

2013 SPRING

t’s spring! As the stores put out the

floral print denim and the coloured flats the fashion trends don’t stop there. Your garden is set for some great new styles too. Pantone, the colour experts, have declared Emerald Green to be The Colour for 2013. Anyone who’s anyone will be wearing Emerald jewelry, accessorizing with emerald purses or making a statement in an emerald green sundress. In your garden this translates into emerald cushions on the patio furniture, green pots on the deck, wind chimes with emerald green beads, antiqued emerald candle sticks. If you’re not ready to ditch last year’s cushions in Tangerine Tango, simply combine them with some green accents for a vibrant and striking contrast. You’ll be the most current and stylish neighbour at the block party. In plant colours the trend is moving away from pinks and purples towards more yellow, orange and red. Yellow is a good pick any time and should show up in every garden. When you plant a few yellow and white flowers the other colours will stand out more. The housing market continues to thrive here in Langley with so many homes going up on small lots. The landscaping is perfected with little room for the personal touch of the home owner. The quickest and easiest way to add charm to your home is with hanging baskets and container gardens. These continue to be hot

GardeningTRENDS for 2013

sellers in any garden centre. The consumer’s increasingly sophisticated tastes have forced growers to evolve as well. They have moved away from the basic growers’ mix baskets to stylish designer mixes. You’ll see Confetti Garden Baskets hanging from the most chic homes. Instead of an assortment of nine different plants that tend to grow rather wild, Confetti Garden Baskets are carefully coordinated for colour and growth habit. Each 12” basket has a repeat of three different plants (9 plugs all together) that will grow in a consistently round shape as the basket fills in. If you’re looking to fill your flower gardens and prefer the more traditional there are some great new varieties of petunias out there. Petunias are perfect for heat and water restrictions. New colours available include Mini Rose Blast and Raspberry Ripple. You’ll love how they look in hanging baskets and pots and how they fill out your flower beds. Also regaining popularity are scented flowers. Ignore those allergies and plant some fragrance in your yard. Kahori Dianthus was awarded the 2011 American Garden Award and is now readily available locally. The sweet scent comes from the flowers that will bloom all season long. This dianthus is drought tolerant, deer resistant and attracts butterflies. The bright pink flowers are a wonderful addition to your garden. If edibles are more your thing look for the new variety of hot peppers

Pallet Garden DIY

called Hot Cayennetta. This variety bears tons of fruit and does not require staking. This makes it perfect for container gardening and hanging baskets. Even apartment dwellers can grow their own hot peppers. With the increasing popularity of container gardens it makes sense that there is more variety available in pots as well. Today’s gardener is no longer limited to simple terracotta or heavy concrete and stone pots. New pots are made of lightweight materials that can be moved easily and many can be recycled when you are tired of them. Fiber clay is a combination of fiberglass and clay. It is much lighter than stone but makes it possible to get the look of natural stone. Without spending the big bucks you get a high end look. This material is not meant to last though, and after a few years you will want to replace it. That works out just fine since that’s the way we like to do things: change our look every few seasons. For those who want something that lasts a little longer there’s Bio Clay. It is as environmentally friendly as it sounds. These are pots that are manufactured with molds like plastic pots are, but contain very little resin. They are made mostly of a mix of clay, wood and stone powder. Like Fiber Clay you get a natural stone look without the weight and cost. They can be finished in different ways like marble or ancient stone. Innovations in plastic containers have produced beautiful finishes

that are a far cry from the green azalea pots of old. These high density poly pots offer more staying power, gorgeous colours and the possibility of special finishes. You can find this type of pot with a sandy finish (among others) suggesting rough concrete, but weighing only a few pounds. Other finishes give the look of ceramic without the chipability. Best of all, these pots can be recycled at your local garden center when you are ready for a new look! Every year new innovations in gardening products and new genetics in the plant varieties make the industry an exciting one to watch. The best part about it is that there is no need to be a silent by-stander. The products are there to make gardening easy, enjoyable and successful. All you need to do is get down to your favourite garden centre and find your flowers. So get out there and get gardening! By Fiona Jansen This gorgeous emerald green stool is a stunning way to add the colour of the year to your outdoor oasis.

Building a home that will work for a lifetime is about more than looking at trip hazards.

When you think about safety in your home, you probably think of aging in place. While some of those principles are good things to keep in mind, having a safer home goes far beyond installing a stair-lift or removing trip hazards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can have a safe home without taking away from the beauty of a home,â&#x20AC;? says David

The five-bedroom home was in dire need of updating. It had previously gone through several renovations, but the configuration wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working for the family of four plus a nanny who now live in the home. With the help of Vision Built Homes, the Vancouver home is now modernized and perfect for the owners. Submitted photo

Rebuilding a family home for the long-term By Maggie Calloway There is a trend, especially in the Vancouver real estate market, of families making the decision to do a full-house renovation rather than selling and buying another home. That is certainly the case with this family and for the same reasons as many other families: they are settled in the neighbourhood, they like the schools and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close to work. But the house, which had been renovated by previous owners, was stuck in the 1980s. The configuration of the rooms didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for the family and there was a lot of wasted space because some rooms were isolated and consequently were not used. It was time for a fresh start and a reconfiguration of the whole house so the family could utilize the space properly. The contractor chosen for the job was Tobias Puga of Vision Built Homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This house is a five-bedroom suburban home, about 50

years old, which the family has lived in for seven years. It had gone through several renovations but was very dated and need a complete renovation to work for the family of four plus a nanny,â&#x20AC;? Puga says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we started taking the stucco down we could see where doors and windows had been patched and made to fit during a previous renovation. We took the roof off and extended the second floor to the front of the house, which added two bedrooms. We installed a 24-foot-long steel beam above the living room and made the ceiling flat and that was mirrored on the basement floor as well.â&#x20AC;? Fifty per cent of the basement was dug down, lowered and underpinned to increase the ceiling height to just over eight feet then pushed back 10 feet to increase the size of the laundry room and media room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now in the basement they have a small wine room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a media room,â&#x20AC;? Puga says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Upstairs we switched around the kitchen from the west side to

the east side of the house ... and got rid of the French doors and opened that wall up to a 14-foot by 7-foot glass double sliders which flooded the space with light. The old kitchen space became the family room entertainment space.â&#x20AC;? Jenny Martin of Jenny Martin Design was very much involved in designing both the new space as well as pulling together the interior design. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project was gutted down to the bone and the clients were fantastic, they gave us full control and just said make it work and look fabulous, so it was a great experience,â&#x20AC;? Martin says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are still giving us feedback, saying every time they wake up they feel like they are in a W Hotel. The home has an edge and real character which they just love, so we are all so pleased they are so happy.â&#x20AC;? The success of this remodeled home is in the way each member of the family is happy and comfortable in the space and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the bottom line of what a family home should be.

Safety at no extra cost to the homeowners â&#x20AC;&#x153; from page.1 Shepherd, manager of finance and administration for MLK Properties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be a stereotypical â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;accessibleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home.â&#x20AC;? The SAFERhome Standards Society, sponsored by the Homeowner Protection Office, BC Housing, the Vancouver Resource Society and the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of British Columbia, lays out a 19-point list for homebuilders and buyers to ensure that their home is built to conform to certain principles, called universal home design. Such principles will allow developers and builders to construct homes that will stand the test of time and ensure continued safety for residents of all ages, from toddlers to senior citizens. Among the standards are wider hallways, flush exterior thresholds and outlets that are set higher than usual. Outlets that are placed higher on the wall mean that those with back problems will find it easier to plug in their appliances as they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to bend as far to reach them. Similarly, light switches should be placed six inches lower than usual to lessen the difference between tall and short members of the family, and prevent people having to reach for the switch. According to the SAFERhome Standards, the original height of 48 inches was to accommodate wainscoting, which is no longer a favoured design detail. Making the light switch lower also gives you the ability to switch it on or off with your elbow (depend-

ing on your height) if your hands are full; something that would be incredibly convenient when you come in with the groceries! Wider hallways are built to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers, should the homeowner require them in the future. A shower without a lip to step over is another requirement, to prevent people from falling when they step into the shower. Regulations over where the shower controls are located (closer to the edge instead of in the centre) is one of the 19 standards that a builder must comply with. It is also recommended that a homeowner install more than one showerhead to cater to people of differing heights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want these homes to be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;foreverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes,â&#x20AC;? Shepherd says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone should be able to live there long-term.â&#x20AC;? MLK Properties is currently selling a home in Richmond that has been built to conform with SAFERhome Standards. It is the first such home in the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The changes are so subtle that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re almost invisible,â&#x20AC;? Shepherd says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unless you know about it, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice that the hallways are wider or the outlets are higher. But they make a huge difference.â&#x20AC;? Shepherd notes that if a home is built to include these standards, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add any cost to the homeowner because outlets, light switches and other things must still be installed.

Great design on a budget By Kerry Vital

GS today! N I V G SA RIOR

IN EXTE R P S our

Great interior design doesn’t have to break the bank. Whether it’s a small change to the colour of your walls or a new piece of trendy decor, there are many ways to keep your budget intact while still having an amazing home. “Paint is possibly the cheapest investment you can make and has the potential to be the most dramatic,” says Sheryn Calvert of Calvert Design Studio. “It is also easy to change; pick a bold, trending colour that you love – and then change it when it’s ‘out’ or you get tired of it in a few years.” She suggests that people who are looking to stick to their budget look in a secondhand shop, or reupholster or repurpose an item that they already have. “Think outside of the box to create unique pieces for your home,” Calvert says. “You can also customize low-cost items. Plain white bookcase? Add some wallpaper for colour and texture.” Being creative and doing it yourself will benefit you in non-budgetary ways. It can also make for a great conversation piece when you tell people that you made something yourself. Calvert notes that buying a blank canvas and painting it yourself can make for a wonderful piece of art for your wall. “Almost anything can be a piece of art or accessory if you put your mind to it,” she says. Her final tip is to be patient. “Stores will have huge blowout and clearance sales every once in awhile, and it is definitely worth it to wait for those amazing finds,” Calvert says. “Sign up for email newsletters to know when a sale is happening. You can also go to a showroom and look for ‘as-is’ or floor models.” Calvert points out that there are a few things that you shouldn’t try, no matter how inexpensive they are. “In a bag. If these words are included in the title of your purchase, walk away,” she says. “Design has moved forward from ‘matchy matchy’ to an eclectic, more personal style.” She also warns about the trend towards open storage in the kitchen. “Can anyone always keep their cupboards 100 per cent organized? I know that I can’t. Closed storage with touch-latch hardware looks a lot better than the typical pots and pans cupboard.” Another trend that Calvert says is on the way out is dark wood. Instead, she notes that clients are leaning more towards medium or light tones instead. “Lighter finishes make your room have a lighter, more open feel to it,” she says. “Grey- Beautiful interior decor doesn’t have to be expensive. Adding a pop of toned flooring is extremely hot right now!” colour or finding a cool wall decal can spice up a room.

Keeping yourself organized much less room in the entryway; most of the time there is a reach-in closet so I came up with a design a number of years ago to maximize that limited space. If you want to stay organized it is imperative there are designated places for things; if not they just get dumped.” The garage is another place of entry to the home and here again systems are needed to stop outdoor clothes and toys from cluttering the home. The garage is also in danger of becoming the place to pile things with no designated home. “If you are entering and exiting your home through the garage, people don’t generally hang their coats there. Hooks to hang wet coats is a good idea, but they will take their shoes off so we will put a shelving system in there to hold all the shoes otherwise they end up piled on the landing or on the steps,” Bell says. “The other great organizing system people like next to the ... door in the garage are bins for recycling which gets them out of the kitchen.”

By Maggie Calloway So you bit the bullet and tackled the house room by room: piles to the charity shop, piles to the trash and your “keepers” also in a pile ready to be put back in closets, drawers and cupboards but you are loath to cram everything back into closets with one hanging bar with everything else once again piled on the floor or back into drawers almost never to be seen again. So what can you do? Troy Bell, of Unique Storage & Organizers has some advice. “This is exactly the time to put in systems which not only get you organized now but keep you organized going forward,” he says. “We do everything from bedroom reach-in closets to walk-in closets, and everywhere else in the house which needs an organizing system tailored to how the family lives.” The entryway or if the family is lucky enough to have a designated mudroom is the first line of defense to keep the outdoor clothes, sports equipment and Fido’s paraphernalia contained. “If there is room we like to install a locker for each member of the family so they have their own little cubby if you will,” Bell says. “They can put their coats on a hook, hang their backpack, and put their helmets and skateboards in there, shoes and boots. But if you live in a condo or a townhouse there is

Keeping yourself organized starts with getting rid of clutter. Installing a great storage solution for what you keep will go a long way towards fixing the problem. Submitted photos

Integrating the home office into your space and layout of the room and how it’s going to be used. Where is the desk going to be placed, is the television going to be used as a monitor? You can have a small monitor on your desk but you can also connect your laptop or your PC to the television for watching movies or hold a meeting where everyone needs to be able to see what’s on the screen.” If you are doing a renovation and the room has been stripped back to the studs, this is the time to call in the experts to install the correct wiring to handle all the electronics. It is a good idea to wire-up two or three different locations, instead of the usual one, so there is built-in flexibility. The way technology is moving at breakneck speed, it makes sense to pre-wire instead of trying to make an inadequate

Customizing the perfect piece of furniture By Maggie Calloway You have searched and searched for the perfect piece of furniture to complete a room and although you have seen many great pieces they are just not right. So what can you do? Consider having something designed and custom-made for you. Metro Vancouver’s Harris & Blake Fine Cabinetry Inc. can design and make the furniture piece of your dreams so fine that it will become a family heirloom passed down and treasured through the generations. Partner Robert Blakemore graduated from The Rycotewood Furniture Centre in Oxford, which has an international reputation as a centre of excellence in innovative furniture design and making, with distinction in furniture crafts and associated design. After graduating he worked under master crafts-

man Phillip Koomen. Partner Andrew Harrison has an equally impressive resume. Harrison attended the British Columbia Institute of Technology, graduating from the Benchwork and Joinery Program, then apprenticed at a high-end custom furniture shop under the expertise of master craftsmen. Eventually Harrison created his own company, Architectural Millwork and Design, which was very successful. The opportunity to partner with Blakemore presented itself and the new company was born. “We have a great melding of talents and experience at our company. Andrew is an exceptional finisher and looks after that segment of the workshop and manufacturing and I look after the design,” Blakemore says. “We invested quite heavily five years ago in machinery from Italy which allows us to take our designs from a computer design program directly onto this machine; it produces shapes and parts for us. For a small shop it was a huge investment but very worthwhile. It has enabled us to go to the next level.” Harris & Blake doesn’t sell to retail outlets. They work directly with designers, architects and individual clients to meet their needs. “Typically a client will have an idea of something they want, be it a dining table, coffee table, an entertainment unit or other need. We meet with them and listen to their need and what they envision; I spend a lot of time listening which is key,” Blakemore says. If you can’t find the perfect piece in a store, you should consider having it custom-made for you to fit your style, your space and your budget. Submitted photo

“Then I have the opportunity to expose them to different woods and different ways of approaching the design. It is a collaborative effort; we go through the process tweaking as we go until the client is happy. Sometimes I make a model and then the wood, stains and finishes are chosen based on the requirement of that particular piece. We have the capability of making exceptional pieces of furniture in our workshop and we utilize the best materials. We only use North American materials but what we are also able to do is meet budgets while at the same time bringing our talents and expertise to every project big or small.” This high level of work is apparent. “If a person enjoys quality and wants something very specific, that is very possible,” Blakemore says. “The level of work we do and the care we put into a piece doesn’t change. We find out what clients need and design a piece that is within a budget and are very happy to do so.”

Robert Blakemore at Harris & Blake Fine Cabinetry says he enjoys introducing customers to new styles, different woods and a new way of approaching the design of the piece. Submitted photos

Home&Garden 2013 SPRING

Can I DIMy? The DIY world is full of people of all types attempting to do it on their own. Pinterest is a fabulous bulletin board full of great ideas for people to do or simply dream of doing. Sometimes a project seems so creative, too amazing and too difficult for the ordinary citizen to attempt. If hanging up a picture is about the extent of your hammering expertise and paint by number is as creative as you get, then here is the perfect starter project. Low budget is good, especially if you’re a beginner. It’s intimidating to invest big money into a project only to see it flop. Look on Craigslist or at your neighbourhood antique store or maybe even a thrift store for an old door with a great look. I found this 103 year old door on CL from a Kitsilano reno. I bet this baby has some stories to tell! The indignities someone of this age must have endured! Fortunately the foam stickers were easy to remove. This pretty baby was dirty and needed a bath before I was going to take the sander to it. I scrubbed it up with Safe Prep, a great solution for cleaning items before sanding and painting them. Works as well as other de-greasers but without the harmful side effects. Once the door was dry I used an electric sander. I won’t lie, it wasn’t as easy as I would have liked, although it probably could have been a lot worse! It took about an hour to sand the door and reveal the blue-grey colour underneath. I was excited: I liked where this was going! I didn’t need to do anything to the other side since the plan is to hang this up on the wall. But out of curiosity I tried a bit. Not nearly as rewarding as the first side, the second side simply had more white paint. This blue-grey was a lucky find! When I used the air compressor to blow off the dust (my husband let me use the shop so I had all the tools I needed!) a few chips of paint blew off too. My initial reaction was dismay. But really the look we are going for is not that of perfection, so a few chips fit right in. My original plan was to add some more colour, in particular the fabulous turquoise that is so popular these days. I had some paint left form a previous project so I put a bit in a margarine container and added some water. I thought I’d dry brush it on the door to achieve a fun look. After rubbing it with a t-shirt I wasn’t thrilled with the result. I tried adding some brown to improve the look. It didn’t work. This is why experts recommend testing the effect on scrap wood first. So how do I solve this problem? I pull out my trusty eraser, a.k.a. electric sander and re-sand the spots where I put the paint. Plan B: skip the colour. Now for the fun part. The two long panels are painted with magnetic paint and covered with chalkboard paint. How great is that? Did you even know there was such a thing as magnetic paint? While waiting for the paint to dry I worked on the string. I pressed in 10 adorable thumbtacks (found at Dollarama) to wrap the string around. I looped the string twice around itself at the centre crossover points. Make sure it’s tight so it won’t sag when photos are attached. Then I pressed the tacks farther in so they wouldn’t come undone. Finally attach hanging hardware at the back. It will need to be heavy duty because the door is solid and heavy. And voila! A super cool memo board worthy of a pin on Pinterest! By Fiona Jansen

In Perfect Harmony – The Cypress Creek Duo

Jim McGregor

hen you tune in to the first track of the Cypress Creek Duo’s CD, you hear the unmistakable intro to Folsom Prison Blues followed by the golden tones of Allan Cusworth. But it sure sounds like Johnny Cash. As the mellow music comes from each track, Allan’s wife Natalia adds her melodies and harmonies and before you know it, you are singing along and tapping your feet.

audience out there for that sound.”

Allan and Natalia have been in harmony for close to fifty years.

Allan grew up in Ontario after his family came from Sheffield England. He sold dew worms to fishermen until he saved up $18.00 to buy his first guitar. “I practiced for hours and I used to go down to the community hall and hang on the edge of the stage for hours and listen to groups like the Rice Lake Islanders play for the crowd at the week-end dances.”

Allan and Natalia have been in harmony for close to fifty years. Allan laughs, “We got married on July 1st. 1967, Canada’s 100th birthday and we hope to have an even bigger party for our 100th anniversary.”

Natalia grew up in Portugal and recalls her love of singing. “I used to sing out in the back yard . I sang all the time just for the joy of singing. When I came to Canada I didn’t speak any English at all. But I learned Allan and Natalia are well a lot from the music. I sang known throughout the Lower in school plays and glee club.

Natalia taught line dancing for four years or so, after they came to B.C. ‘’Then we started square dancing and playing for square dances with three other musicians and we needed a name for the group. One day we took a side trip up to Cypress Bowl and I turned to Natalia and said, “What about Cypress Creek for a band name? When the square dance caller retired, the band finished but we wanted to keep playing music. We changed the name to Cypress Creek Duo and that’s the name folks know us by now.” “In 2006 we went back to a cousin’s wedding in Brampton Ontario and met Nelson Camara who has continued on next page

Do you need help with personal care or daily living activities? Do you like your independence? Getting excellent nursing care in a home-like setting may be the right choice for you.

Allan adds, “Over the next few months, back and forth on Skype or the phone or e-mail, he coached us on using the new equipment and it opened up a lot of new doors for us. We went back to Nelson’s recording studio in 2012 and recorded our CD which was a remarkable experience and a dream we had always had. Another dream come true will be to hear one of our songs on the radio.” continued on next page

When asked why they perform, the answers came easy. “We’re going to sing and play as long as we can,” says Natalia. “We do at least two or three shows a month and sometimes more. We don’t make a lot of money, we usually cover expenses and make enough to stop for dinner on the way home.”

not communicating with anyone. I started playing the Fats Domino song Blueberry Hill and a smile crossed her faced and she started moving her lips. Her happiness just made my day. I have this passion for the guitar and we have a God given talent and we enjoy every chance we have to give that back.”

“But I’ll tell why we do this,” says Allan as he leans in. “One day we were playing at Zion Manor and they wheeled in a little lady, hunched over in her wheel chair,

Natalia took up oil painting a few years ago and her beautiful landscapes are proudly displayed on their walls along with photos of their two children and grand children. Natalia sums it up, “The wood turning is Allan, the painting is me and the music is us.” The Cypress Creek Dou makes pretty sweet music together.

3Dear Brookswood, How could I ever forget. Every time I see my lovely smile, I am reminded of your great work! In fact, we were on a cruise this past spring, and one dear gentleman told me I had ‘the nicest smile on the boat.” I couldn't help but agree. You do great smiles! With thanks, Francis B. 3I would like to take this moment to say thank you so much for the new look you have given me. I feel so much better about myself and to think I do look ten years younger! I am so glad I found your ad and came to you for help. I am still in awe with what all took place. Never have I had that kind of attention to detail in dentures. Thank you again, take care, Bonnie 3I just wanted to send you a note of thanks for all your thoughtfulness and caring in the past ten months. It was just awful to lose all of my teeth, but because of all of you, you have made it a lot easier to deal with everything. I love my new teeth. Darren, you did a great job. Thanks again to a great group of caring people. Wendy M. 3Thank you so very, very much for going above and beyond ... and for listening. I truly appreciate it! Fondly, Leslie

Gods and monsters Langley Players present God of Carnage, April 18 to May 18 at the Langley Playhouse

Brenda ANDERSON/Langley Times

From left: Brian Johnston as Alan Raleigh, Patricia Braun as Annette Raleigh, Langley’s Ken Boyd as Michael Novak and Alaina Holland as Veronica Novak in Langley Players’ production of God of Carnage, directed by Helen Embury.

What could possibly go wrong when two sets of well-heeled parents get together to calmly discuss an altercation between their children? Well, if it’s the Langley Players’ upcoming production of God of Carnage, chances are it’s the kids who’ll come out looking like the sensible ones when the dust has settled. Langley Players’ latest offering, directed by Helen Embury, is a lively play that takes place during a disastrous meeting between two couples whose sons have been involved in a schoolyard brawl. In the beginning, the couples are civilized but the encounter quickly disintegrates into a messy, and hilarious, fourway blowout. All of the etiquette barriers are discarded in this wickedly funny comedy of ill manners and pseudo sophistication in a series of profanity spouting skirmishes and assaults. Just getting the opportunity to mount the Tony award-winning play here was a coup, said Embury.

Bard auditions April 21 and 22 Auditions will be held this weekend for Bard in the Valley’s fourth summer production,The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare. This year’s production is directed by Langley native, Darcy Knopp, who performed lead roles in BIV’s first two productions. Auditions will be held Sunday, April 21 and Monday, April 22. No appointment is required. Actors wishing to audition are asked to arrive at the Douglas Park Recreation Centre on Sunday, April 21 at 1 p.m. or on Monday April 22 at 7:30 p.m. to hear an outline of the production, performance expectations, rehearsal com-

Long-time Langley soccer fixture steps down Shaun Mason has relinquished his role as Langley FC technical director, but will continue in a coaching capacity Gary ahuja Times Sports

Shaun Mason had little intention of getting involved with his daughter’s youth soccer team, but circumstances left him no choice. It was 18 years ago, and Mason’s daughter Devon had signed up with the old Bobby Lenarduzzi soccer camps through the Langley Girls Soccer Association. “I thought they would have all these wonderful Shaun professional coaches,” he admitted. “I received a call from the club president at the time who informed me there was no coach for my daughter’s team. “Even though I didn’t really want to coach — because I had two businesses I was running — he told me if I didn’t coach, she might not be able to play, so I really had no choice.” And Mason has been going strong on the Langley soccer scene ever since. He continued with the soccer association — which is now called Langley FC (LFC) — as a co-ordinator, then on the executive, as a head coach, and finally as the club’s technical director, a position he held until stepping down last month. But the fact he has been involved in the game for so long should come as little surprise, considering his bloodlines. The 51-year-old Mason was born in England and his father played professionally for both Crystal Palace and Queen’s Park Rangers.

“I had no choice (but to play),” he said with a laugh. The family emigrated to Canada in 1967, when Mason was six, living in Montreal for a few years, before heading west to B.C. and settling in Ladner. And Mason soon took to the sport, excelling on the pitch, and helping his youth club, the Dunbar Strongs win six provincial titles and a pair of national titles to boot. “Fast and skilled,” was how Mason described his game, adding Mason that he very langley fc slight as a kid and never really put on size until he was in his mid-20s. Mason played on some provincial selects teams in his teenage years but for his senior year, he spent six months in England with Welwyn Garden City Football Club, Stevenage Borough and trials with East London club Leyton Orient, in hopes of making it in the pro game. But it wasn’t meant to be. “I was told I went there too late,” he said. “I should have gone two years earlier.” Returning to B.C., Mason had an opportunity to join the Vancouver Whitecaps reserves, but declined. He also turned down an offer to play for UBC, instead joining Delta United in the Fraser Valley Premier League and then some over-30s when he moved to Langley. Mason had done a bit of work at soccer schools in the summers, but never thought much more of it.

“I’ve ... worked with some great people, coached some fantastic players and made lifetime friendships.”

during their youth careers and beyond, leading to university and professional opportunities. It was challenging, but rewarding. “In its heyday, Langley FC had about 1,300 kids in its program,” he said. “It’s like having 2,000 employees, when you include the parents that are involved. “To keep that many people happy is a challenge,” he admitted. “You never really hear from all the people that are happy, but you instantly hear from anyone who is unhappy.” But it has been a worthwhile experience. “Over the years, I’ve served under 10 or so presidents, I’ve had a lot of fun, worked with some great people, coached some fantastic players and made some lifetime friendships during my time in charge,” he said. Mason decided to step down in order to focus on his business, Visual Systems, a sign company based out of Burnaby. “I am really just too busy to do a job that requires more attention,” he said. “The needs of soccer clubs have changed and many clubs require full-time people in charge. “Running Langley FC is a fulltime job and it needs to be run by a full-time guy.” And despite his children — 22-year-old Devon and Dylan, 19, — being graduated from the youth ranks — Mason will stay involved in some sort of coaching capacity. ••••• Langley FC also announced Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times Shaun Mason has been involved with soccer from a young some changes to their board of age, and while he has stepped down as the Langley FC techni- directors.

McLeod lands track and field provincials Langley set to host B.C. high school championships in both 2013 and 2014 Gary ahuja Times Sports

Add another high profile event which will be coming to Langley. The B.C. high school track and field championships, which have traditionally been held at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium, will instead be contested at Langley’s McLeod Athletic Park in both 2013 and 2014. They were held at Swangard from 1975 to 1993, in Coquitlam from 1994 to 1999, and then back at Swangard from 2000 to 2012. The two-day meet, which features thousands of competitors, will be held May 31 and June 1. It is just one of many significant track and field events slated for MAP: the Special Olympics B.C. Summer Games run July 11 to 14, the Canadian Legion youth track and field championships are from Aug. 7 to 13, The Legion championships will also be held at McLeod Park in 2014, as will the B.C. Seniors Games. “Having invested over $1 million infrastructure improvements in the past five years to support track and field, the Township is pleased to add this significant event to our sport hosting calendar for 2013 and 2014,” said David Leavers, the director of the Township’s recreation, culture and parks division. “There has been some discussion in recent years about moving the championships,” said Andrew Lenton, the track and field commissioner for B.C. School Sports. Swangard Stadium has been the long-standing traditional location for the provincial championships, although they have been held in other locales as well. A major reason for the switch is the condition of the two facilities, with Lenton

admitting the track at Swangard was in poor condition. By comparison, McLeod Park replaced the artificial track surface prior to the 2008 B.C. Summer Games and work is currently underway to replace the synthetic turf field. It will be completed sometime next month. While both facilities are roughly the same size, the schedule of events will be easier to navigate at McLeod Park. “There is more flexibility in scheduling because of a slightly different layout of the

track as well,” Lenton said. “(At McLeod), the javelin is outside the stadium, which allows us to run it concurrently with many track events,” he explained. “Whereas in Swangard, the javelin runway cuts directly across the track and the infield is used as a throws area, so we can only run 100 or 200m sprints or hurdles while we run that (event).” Lenton added that there is discussion about moving the championships around the province for future events.
