Society working to house 20 displaced by fire

Langley man driving in fatal Surrey crash A 46-year-old Langley man is the only survivor of a horrific collision at the corner of 32 Avenue and 176 Street in Surrey on Sunday morning. Five members of one Surrey family were killed in the collision, which occurred about 11 a.m. A 2012 Dodge Caravan travelling west on 32 Avenue, driven by the Langley man, collided with the 1994 Toyota Corolla containing the five family members. The car was travelling north on 176 Street. Surrey RCMP say the Caravan driver allegedly went through a red light. The force of the collision cut the Corolla in two. The driver was a 31-year-old woman. Also killed were her mother-in-law, aged 68, sister-in-law, aged 47, and her two children, a five-year-old boy and three-year-old girl. The Langley man is in serious but stable condition in hospital. Surrey RCMP and the Lower Mainland Integrated Collision Analyst/Reconstruction Services (ICARS) team continue to investigate the crash. Both roads were closed for much of Sunday to allow the investigation to proceed. Surrey RCMP say it is likely charges will be laid.

The Langley Lions Seniors’ Housing Society has been busy converting private lounges into housing units to make sure those who would have been homeless following the April 3 deadly fire have a roof over their heads for now. At the moment, 20 out of the 100 people displaced by the fire at the Elm building had nowhere to go when provincial emergency funding ran out on Monday. But the society that runs the large low-cost housing complex in Langley City has been busy converting lounges into housing units to help. “We have committed to look after this smaller group with no place to go,” said administrator Jeannette Dagenais. “Some will have to share a unit but most will get their own, she said. “We’ve also converted Timbers dining room to feed them meals.” Half of the 100 residents displaced by the fire returned home on Friday. The man who was rescued from the fire, and was first listed in critical condition, has now recovered and the Lions have set him up in a first floor unit in one of the buildings, she said. Both the Lions and fire department refuse to say who the man was who died in the fire that erupted in a second floor unit on April 3. “He was a senior and from what we hear he was a hero,” said Dagenais. At the time, Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender told the media that the man in his 80s was knocking on doors to get everyone out when he succumbed to the black smoke that had enveloped the hallways. One hundred people were displaced, including numerous residents with mental health issues.

NDP candidate taking campaign door-to-door Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

In the riding of Langley, newcomer NDP candidate Andrew Mercier is making it a race to watch. He has knocked on more than 6,000 doors and met with 10 per cent of the riding’s population. While incumbent MLA Mary Polak has won her seat handily in the past two elections, the NDP are favoured in the polls in B.C., with many looking for change. “When I saw this province being taken in the wrong direction, I decided I wanted to run,” said Mercier. At the age of 27, Mercier has a passion for people. Unlike most of his generation, he prefers speaking to people face to face about the issues, rather than through social media, even daring to call Twitter “white noise.” He is no stranger to politics, serving as campaign manager for Langley federal

NDP candidate Piotr Majkowski in 2011. He recruited a team of volunteers, many of them young people, and helped lead the NDP to becoming the official opposition for the first time. In 2011, the NDP gained the most votes ever in a federal election in Langley.

ON TRANSPORTATION

At the doorstep, Mercier, who has lived his whole life in Langley, is hearing two resounding things: Langley’s transportation needs, mainly transit, are underserved for how much residents pay; and Langley people aren’t going to vote, he said. If the NDP get into power, the party promises to dedicate a portion of carbon tax to transit. “Langley’s population is growing faster than the national average, by almost double. A lot of families are coming here from Vancouver and city areas and are shocked by the lack of transit options.” continued, PAGE 4

Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times

Langley NDP candidate Andrew Mercier goes door knocking for at least four hours every day as part of his campaign for a seat in the B.C. legislature.

Transportation top of mind in Valley, says Polak Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times

Mary Polak said she would like to introduce a public referendum on transportation spending if she is re-elected.

Just before her interview with The Times, Langley MLA Mary Polak was returning to Langley from Vancouver after using the new rapid bus over the Port Mann Bridge. As Minister of Transportation, she is proud of those two projects, which her government made happen. “The number one issue in Langley is transportation and it will continue to be the number one issue. We just don’t have the infrastructure Vancouver does. “The express bus was packed, with half a dozen standing and the park and ride lot was full. We are tracking car travel since the Port Mann opened and we are seeing increased transit ridership.” For those who drive, the expanded bridge and Highway One has changed their lives in commuting time, she has been told. The entire Highway One project will be complete by the end of December, she said.

“I’m hearing from a lot of people who want to see the HOV lanes extended further east than they are. But this all costs money,” said Polak. This brings her to her proposal of bringing a referendum to the public asking them where and how they would like to spend on transportation improvements. “I see the referendum having three of four different options on the ballot,” she said. She refutes claims from some mayors that a referendum would take too long to achieve anything. “The referendum would be ready in the fall 2014. That is a pretty fast time line.” Before that, she would like to see the options proposed go out to the public in numerous open houses as was done with the Port Mann Bridge expansion, with story boards and public input. “People loathe giving more money. Mayors already used property tax, parking tax and a hydro levy. The mayors feel that’s all tapped out. “Part of it is perception on

how well TransLink is spending their money. We need to do better to explain that.”

that. Our Grade 4s are scoring well and are world leaders in reading and writing outcomes.”

ON EDUCATION

ON THE BUDGET

Polak lives in Willoughby and is all too aware of the school overcrowding issue and says the area will need more schools, beyond the two currently under construction. There are only three school districts that are growing and Langley is one of them. “But there are pockets of heavy growth and areas of decline and it’s difficult to manage by adjusting boundaries and projecting enrolment.” As a Surrey school trustee from 1996 to 2005, she said it was under the NDP that the biggest cuts took place. What has happened under the Liberals is there are simply less students enrolling and less need for teachers, librarians and special needs educators. “The main thing is our student outcomes are phenomenal. Very rarely do I hear the Langley Teachers Association talk about

“The books are there, there are no secrets,” said Polak to the NDP’s claim the Liberals aren’t being truthful about balancing the budget. “Our credit rating has maintained in good standing even with the 2008 downturn in the economy. We always meet our targets.” She holds the party line that the Liberal party is the only one that will be fiscally responsible and keep the economy going.

ON THE PACIFIC CARBON TRUST “It’s a different world now where the economy recognizes there is a price on carbon. Carbon offsets became a commodity. It’s a new field we are in, but overall I support it,” she said. She said it has led several school districts to save more than they spend in paying carbon credits.

Low, Fair Taxes.

With the Minister of Transportation Mary Polak serving the Langley area, he is surprised there hasn’t been more efforts concentrated here for transit. He says 82 per cent of demand is for people commuting to surrounding areas like Surrey and Delta, not Vancouver. “Only 18 per cent link up to Vancouver yet we have very little transit to get people quickly to Surrey, Abbotsford, etc.”

If elected, the NDP would make sure mayors have much more decision-making ability than they do now, restoring the power the mayors’ council had before it was taken from them by the Liberals, he said. Polak’s idea of offering the people a referendum on options for how to pay for transportation improvements was met with criticism from Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and other mayors. “The Liberals didn’t even consult with the mayors before announcing this referendum,” Mercier said. That lack of consultation is consistent with how the Liberals operate for the past 12 years and is being reflected in the attitude people have about voting, Mercier stressed.

ON POST SECONDARY FUNDING

Before he ran for the NDP in the Langley riding, Mercier was a delivery truck driver paying off a $35,000 university debt. He shares his debt plight with many in his generation. He is a strong supporter of the NDP’s platform to help make post secondary more accessible to all British Columbians by offering nonrefundable grants to those students in need. “I was working two to three jobs when I was going to university here and that is no way to

concentrate on getting an education,” he said. He had started his education at the University of the Fraser Valley but finished in New Brunswick because it ended up being cheaper, despite the cost of living there and travelling back and forth. Having graduated with first class honours with a political science degree, Mercier has a strong interest in public policy. He is trilingual. “I speak French, (his dad is French Canadian) and Italian.” He learned Italian while living and studying in Italy. His dad is a RCMP officer and his mom is a nurse.

ON HEALTH CARE

“We are a society that is better off because of public health care. But under the Liberals we are too hospital-centric,” said Mercier. “We need to look at preventative health care. I was raised by a nurse. We know there are never enough nurses and doctors. But under the Liberals we will just see more cutting. I think there are some administrative efficiencies that can take place but this is a service we need.”

ON LOW VOTER TURNOUT

“People say to me ‘politicians aren’t accountable or they are corrupt.’ We need to work really hard to change this apathy which has reached systemic proportions. We think by banning corporate and union donations it will make it a more honest playing field,” he said. He is passionate about reaching out to young people and getting them interested in the democratic process. The NDP plan on bringing down the registration age to 16 and then later have a conversation about lowering the voters’ age. Mercier has begun his efforts by gathering a campaign team of young people, he said. The average age of his team is 25. “This is an important election and every vote will matter in this riding. Get involved. It’s too important not to.”

Langley vet charged with sex crimes Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

A Langley veterinarian has been charged with sex crimes. Dr. Wayne Etherington, who worked at Clayton Animal Hospital, has been charged with two counts of sexual assault and one count of indecent exposure, confirm Langley RCMP. He makes his next court appearance on May 3. Prior to these recent criminal charges against him, the College of Veterinarians of B.C. had obtained a court order to stop the Langley vet from practicing, after he allegedly defied their initial order that he could continue to practice under the supervision of a chaperone. The CVBC suspended Etherington’s license to practice on Feb. 16 for the safety of the public “due to the number and seriousness of formal complaints received by this office alleging sexual misconduct involving women.” According to a CBC report earlier this year, Etherington denied the accusations. One of the accusations heard by the CVBC investigation committee was that Etherington looked at a client’s breasts instead of her eyes, when speaking to her about her dog, said the CBC.

Still too early to assess what help Elm residents will need Magnolia Gardens is housing four residents. Many have been staying with family. People living in one suite below the fire and two above lost everything in the fire, and a good portion of those on the second floor lost most possessions to smoke damage, she said. None of the residents had contents insurance. “It’s too early to know what people need,” she said of replacing lost furniture and housing items. Many people have called The Times asking what they can donate. Once people start moving back in, the society will have a better idea of the need, said Dagenais. The City fire department has yet to release any information on the cause of the fire.

from PAGE 1

“The Salvation Army and Stepping Stone have been a huge help,” said Dagenais. At the time, the province extended the emergency social services for those impacted by the fire at the Elm building from the usual 72 hours to three weeks. Most were housed at a local hotel. A number of them have been using the meal service offered at the neighbouring Gateway of Hope. There are seven who will not be able to move in for six months, she said. They have been put up in a house and have the first option to move back if they want, she said.

Teens’ families appreciate support Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

Many Langley residents are still in a state of shock as fundraisers continue to grow to support the families of missing Langley boys Brendan Wilson and Austin Kingsborough. It’s been “very taxing” for the families as they watched the RCMP dive team on Nicola Lake, near Merritt, search for the two friends whose capsized canoe was found early Monday, April 22, said family friend Scott Lebus, who is speaking to the media on behalf of the families. “The families have accepted they have drowned. Now they just want to bring the boys home and begin the healing,” said Lebus. “Both boys’ parents are really appreciative of all the

love and support they have received.” After five days of dedicated searching, the RCMP called off their search on Friday. “That was a particular low point for the families,” he said. But through a friend of a friend, they decided to get in touch with Gene and Sandy Ralston from Idaho, who specialize in water recoveries. They have recovered 84 drowning victims using their unique equipment. The families are flying them out to begin their search of the lake, using specialized sonar equipment. Brendan and Austin have been friends for a long time, and played both ball and ice hockey together. They were captain and co-captains of various teams and wore the numbers #17 and #18 respectively,

he said. “They were really well known and liked. They had a lot of friends and many people know the families through Langley Minor Hockey,” he said. The two life-long friends had planned the trip up to the Wilson family cabin on Nicola Lake to celebrate Brendan’s 18th birthday. “Brendan has been on that lake since he was a toddler. He is very familiar with the lake,” said Lebus. Their parents expected the boys back in Langley for supper on Sunday, April 21. When they didn’t come home, Brendan’s mom called a neighbour to check on the boys and “found his truck still there,” he said. continued, PAGE 11

A step for democracy

Attendance is the key

angley MP Mark Warawa has helped institute a small but significant reversal, making the House of Commons a slightly more democratic institution. He has also ensured that MPs are able to represent their constituents, even when party managers go out of their way to try and prevent that. Last week, House of Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer ruled that he will recognize MPs who try to catch his attention, in order to make members’ statements. He no longer will solely rely on lists of members allowed to speak — lists given to him by party whips. Warawa had earlier been prevented from making a statement in the House of Commons on the controversy surrounding his attempt to bring forward a motion on sex selection. Party whip Gordon O’Connor refused to put his name on the list. This effectively muzzled him — and could have been the last step in making MPs nothing but vote machines, acting on orders of the party leaders. If that was the case, we’d be better off with robots in the House of Commons, or dispensing with the institution altogether. For far too long, the prime minister’s office and other party leaders have taken more and more power unto themselves. MPs have been disciplined, muzzled and kicked out of caucus, often for simply speaking up on issues that matter to their constituents. John Nunziata was kicked out of the Liberal caucus by then-prime minister Jean Chretien for saying that the party ought to do what it campaigned on — get rid of the GST. Bev Desjarlais was stripped of all responsibility and lost the NDP nomination, after defying Jack Layton’s orders and voting against same-sex marriage. It was a free vote in the House of Commons — but NDP members were whipped. With Scheer’s ruling, Warawa stood up in the House of Commons and caught the speaker’s attention on Wednesday. Many reporters in the press gallery paid attention. Was Warawa going to rip the Conservative party, or take on the prime minister? He fooled them all. He made a statement about Langley‘s Got Talent, the popular talent show which is heading for the final round. But he had the right to make such a statement, without bowing to the PMO, the Conservative Party machine or the party whip. That’s a major victory for democracy.

fter grinding out the goods for the past several months, the rumour mill can finally power down and send its hard-working staff home. The Vancouver Canucks AHL farm team is not coming to Abbotsford. The Calgary Flames-affiliated Heat are staying — at least, for the 2013-14 season. Were it up to mere wishful thinking, and there was plenty of that by plenty of people, it would have unfolded as dreamed. Whispers that the Flames were looking at moving the Heat to Utica, New York became increasingly persistent, only to be officially doused. But suddenly, the planets started to line up. The hot gossip that the Canucks were buying the Peoria Rivermen from the St. Louis Blues actually became fact. The Blues would partner with the existing Canucks affiliate, the Chicago Wolves. And voila, the stage was set. From a marketing perspective, it was a no-brainer. For the City of Abbotsford, it held the hope of salvation from a money pit, costing taxpayers nearly $3.6 million over three years, as part of a 10-year sweetheart guaranteed revenue deal to get the Heat here. The Calgary Flames and the Heat’s local management group were onside with a move. In fact, the AHL granted extensions so the Flames and the Canucks and the city could do a deal. But it didn’t happen. And we’re not about to know exactly why. Would a Canucks farm team in this city be as much of a bonanza as many people believe? Sure, the arena was far more crowded when the Wolves were here, but it didn’t sell out every night, and that was when it was a novelty. We could hardly do worse with the Canucks farm team here. And there’s the rub. Just about the worst thing local fans (read taxpayers) could do would be to boycott the Heat next year in a fit of pique. It’s all about attendance. —Abbotsford News The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Many deserve our thanks Editor: I realize that the fire at the Elm Building of Rainbow Lodge Seniors’ Housing happened almost a month ago, but up until now, I wasn’t really capable of writing any sort of letter. I wish to humbly thank all the people and organizations who helped us so quickly and so kindly. This enabled us to cope with the early and later days of this traumatic experience. So I’d like to thank:

— the management and staff of Rainbow Lodge, who despite the immense burden of work that was suddenly thrust upon them, were still very kind and caring. — Emergency Social Services (ESS) for making sure none of us were homeless. — B.C. Social Services. — Ministry of Public Safety and the Solicitor General. — The Salvation Army Gateway

of Hope. — Tzu Chi Foundation of Canada (the velvet-like blanket was so very comforting). — Rainbow Lodge Victim’s Services. If I have missed anyone, or missed a generosity given to us all, forgive me. Please know that you are thanked as well. Dianne Gamache, Langley

Say goodbye to Brookswood as we know it Editor: Re: “40th Ave. ill-equipped for four lanes,” (The Times, April 25). I, along with countless other Brookswood residents, share in the trepidation of the planned four-laning of 40 Avenue. However, this is just one small component of the much larger and more sinister master plan to destroy Brookswood and Fernridge. The draft land use plan conveniently understates, or in some cases camouflages, the true development intent. The

Due to the colour shadings used, at first glance it appears that there is provision for some new quarter-acre and larger lots. As I recall, Goal 1 listed at the planning workshops was to “preserve existing character.” The reality is that the largest new lots included in this plan are 7,000 square feet. These will likely be few and far between. So, say goodbye to Brookswood as we know and cherish it. Say goodbye to the large lots, and the large stands

of trees. There is an opportunity to develop something different and unique here, something apart from the same, old, tired densification. It could be different from the type of development that has wreaked havoc on other areas of Langley. I suspect, however, we will see yet another “clear cut” disaster. B. Cameron, Langley

PeoPle Will Be Fine Editor: I am really getting quite tired of reading letters that keep saying how the “average” person is going to suffer under an NDP government. What utter nonsense. All the NDP wants is for the billion-dollar corporations and those who make $350,000 or more a year, to finally start to pay their own way. I say great to that. The average person will get on just fine, thank you. We are on the brink of saying goodbye to what, in my opinion, is the worst and most dishonest government in B.C.’s history. I have only five words for Christy Clark and her crew: See you later. Good riddance. Jack McEwen, Langley

Political correctness Editor: I am appalled that candidate Ian Tootill has been jettisoned by the BC Conservatives over his “Hitler” remark. This is “unacceptable and shameful?” If a few more people had spoken up against Hitler, the world might have been spared the unspeakable horrors of a world war. We live in an age when good people are bullied and cowed into silence by a society and political leadership which will not hear of a second opinion, never mind uncomfortable truth, in the name of political correctness. As George Orwell observed, “Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.” We live in those times. I have been a card-carrying member of the BC Conservative Party in the past and was begrudgingly considering voting for John Cummins, who is my local candidate. I’m not so much considering that option any more. The choices are getting pretty slim. Ross McQuarrie, Langley

Watering DoWn chances Editor: I am not dedicated or a member of any party. I tend to vote where I think I can steer the vote for the good of the province or country. I like the Greens for their ideals. I like the Conservatives because I like their leader, not the party. I like the NDP because I see them as the only party that has a chance of winning the election. For the good of the province I want to get the Liberal government out. My fear is that a vote for a party you like or belong to, which has no chance of winning, could water down the chances for a party that can. Yes, the Liberals could be here for another term if the opposing vote against them is fragmented. So, decide what you want, what we need, and how to get it. John Winter, Langley

Witnesses to 248 St. crash sought by Langley RCMP A 32-year-old woman with her young son in the back seat, travelling behind the Mazda in a Dodge Neon, was unable to avoid the head-on collision. She was transported to hospital by Air Ambulance, and suffered a severe cut to her ankle. Her son was unharmed. When emergency crews arrived on the scene, the woman was being helped by civilians, said police. The white flat deck truck was partially in the ditch with the driver lying nearby on the ground. He was also being tended to. The teen driver whose vehicle rolled down an embankment sustained minor injuries.

Support for families greatly appreciated

The RCMP had two Zodiacs out, using sonar and many people were searching the shore. “The RCMP worked very hard,” said Lebus. The waves damaged their equipment on Friday. The Upper Nicola First Nations fed the families every day, as well as assisted in the search, he said. “I can’t say enough

You & The Law

PRESENTS Seller wins, house buyer loses deposit Buyers of real estate must usually put up a significant deposit. The purpose is partly to show the buyer’s commitment to the deal and also to create a pool of readily available funds for the seller to look to if the buyer walks away. This is especially important where the buyer is a non-resident, or where the buyer’s credit worthiness is unknown. From the buyer’s perspective, he wants to ensure that any deposit he pays is refundable if the conditions inserted for his benefit (like getting a house inspection, obtaining financing or having his lawyer review the title) aren’t satisfied. He also wants to keep the deposit as small as possible to minimize his loss if he can’t complete the purchase. Usually the focus of any discussion about the deposit is the timing and amount. But you should also pay attention to the precise wording of the deposit clause, since the addition of a few words can make the difference between the deposit being lost to the seller and the purchaser being able to get it back. The deposit in a recent case heard by the B.C. Court of Appeal was $100,000. The seller sued to have this sum released to him after the buyer refused to complete the purchase. The buyer defended on the basis that the seller should only be able to keep the deposit if he resold the property at a loss. The deposit clause in the contract stated: “… unless the balance of the cash payment is paid … on or before the Completion Date, the Seller may, at the Seller’s option, terminate this Contract, and, in such event, the amount paid by the Buyer will be absolutely forfeited to the Seller … on account of damages, without prejudice to the Seller’s other remedies.” On the face of this clause, the seller

was entitled to keep the deposit. This view is supported by a previous B.C. Court of Appeal decision which considered similar wording, albeit with the added language that the deposit was “non-refundable.” Numerous subsequent cases have also reached the same result even where the word “non-refundable” was not used. The buyer, however, focused on the words “on account of damages.” He said that if there were no damages (because the seller was able to resell at a higher price), then the deposit had to be refunded. The buyer referred to a different B.C. Court of Appeal decision supporting this view. The buyer won at trial and the deposit was ordered returned to him. The trial judge placed heavy emphasis on the absence of the word “non-refundable” in the deposit clause in question. (No explanation was given as to why “absolutely forfeited” wasn’t sufficient to convey the same result.) The court also noted that the matter was bound to be further appealed. The B.C. Court of Appeal overturned that decision. In the just-released judgment, it decided that the seller could keep the deposit without having to prove loss. This decision is consistent with what buyers and sellers normally think a deposit is for. To minimize their potential loss when buying real estate, buyers should limit the size of their deposit as much as possible and not waive their conditions until they are confident of being able to complete.

Langley RCMP are looking for witnesses to a serious three-car collision that may have been caused by a drunk driver on the night of Wednesday, April 24. Around 8:30 p.m., the driver of a white Ford flat deck was travelling south on 248 Street near Saddlehorn Crescent. Witnesses told police the flat deck, driven by a 35-year-old Langley man, swerved into the oncoming lane where a 19-year-old driver of a northbound Mazda attempted to move out of harm’s way, said police. The Mazda still clipped the flat deck truck, causing that Mazda to roll into a deep embankment.

Sedate debate at Langley all-candidates Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

A two-hour forum for the candidates contesting the Langley riding was a wellattended, but subdued, event with more than 200 people showing up to watch a generally polite exchange of views by incumbent Liberal MLA Mary Polak, Conservative Party leader John Cummins, NDP challenger Andrew Mercier and Green Party hopeful Wally Martin. The Thursday night event at the Kwantlen Polytechnic University auditorium on Glover Road was sponsored by the university, the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce and Fraser Valley realtors. The restrained tone was set early on when the moderator cautioned the audience against taking up too much time by applauding after Martin drew laughs by saying the Green party is not a collection of “pot-smoking tree huggers.” “I’ve actually never hugged a tree,” Martin said. “And unlike Bill Clinton, I did inhale once.” The rest of the debate was more sedate, with the candidates staking out positions that appeared to closely follow party lines. Polak, the incumbent, talked about taxes and the risk of them going up if the NDP get into power. She said the Liberals have been able to make their budget goals every year except one, when the international recession hit. “Nobody did that year,” she said. The NDP’s Mercier had a different perspective, accusing the Liberals of mismanaging government finances. “Do we want more of the same or do we

Conservative leader Cummins took swipes at both the Liberal government and New Democrat opposition, saying his party is the only one that represents real change. “For far too long, there have been two choices in this province,” Cummins said. “They’re both singing from the same song book.” The debate covered a wide range of issues, everything from the need to control medicinal marijuana grow-ops to legislating smoke-free parks and beaches and

the need to fight apathy among young voters. And in those particular cases, all of the candidates agreed something should be done. One clear split emerged over the prospect of increased oil and gas tanker traffic along the B.C. coast, with the NDP and Green candidates against the notion while the Conservative and Liberal observed there is considerable traffic already, carried out under regulations that protect the environment. A question about banning cosmetic pes-

ticides produced the briefest exchange of the debate, with one-word responses by Cummins (“no”) and Martin (“yes”) while their rivals gave more nuanced support to the idea, both leaning toward yes. It was a question about reducing child poverty that created one of the biggest ranges of responses, with Cummins saying the real problem was “parent poverty” and the fix was creating an economy with more high-paying jobs. Martin said the problem would require a long-term focus on creating a “sustainable economy” of renewable industries, which moved Mercier to say that something needed to be done right now, not in the distant future, then go on to say the plight of needy children was “one of the real legacies of this government.” Polak responded by citing statistics showing the degree of child poverty has “gone down dramatically in the last five years.” All the speakers agreed that TransLink has not been keeping up with public transit needs in the Langley area. The NDP would make TransLink more accountable by restoring the Lower Mainland mayors’ council that used to oversee the service, Mercier said. Cummins talked about bringing light rail to Langley by moving the freight lines that run through the city to industrial areas, leaving the tracks free for transit. “I 100-per-cent agree with John,” Martin said. Polak said the provincial government was committed to overhauling TransLink governance and make it more responsive to the need for improved “inter-suburban travel.”

they wouldn’t support a garbage incinerator in Langley. But their feelings on the Right To Farm Act differed. “The right to farm shouldn’t trump the right to live,” said Mitchell, citing examples of propane cannons and manure from farms going into aquifers. “The Agricultural Land Reserve is not on the table. There has been less land taken out with the Liberals in power than any other time in history. But the reality is we have no reason to look at land in the ALC in Langley when we have areas like Willoughby and Brookswood that are not in the ALC,”said Coleman. Dyson said there is too much farm land sitting idle with speculators buying it up and letting it go. Kevin “Land in the Valley is so Mitchell darn expensive. We need to look at ways for young farmers to lease that farm land and encourage use of it. Food security will be an issue in our future,” said Dyson. If elected, the NDP would ban all use of pesticides. Dyson’s home is on a well and he said pesticides running off into the drinking water is a real concern for him and all his neighbours. Dyson also promised a serious look into light rail for Langley if elected. “Light rail is long overdue,” said Dyson. “Coquitlam and Richmond have it. It moves people out of their cars. We don’t need a Cadillac version.” Manuel pointed out that if UBC gets financial help with rapid transit before the Fraser Valley does, there are going to be a lot of angry people. “There is 17 cents of gas tax for TransLink and we don’t get anything for it,” said Manuel. But Coleman dug in his heels, saying studies they have done show there isn’t enough population out here to make Rick light rail possible. Manuel “Until you have the ridership you can’t put it in. My response to this is we can get you to SkyTrain in 18 minutes now,” Coleman said. All the candidates were in favour of looking at legalizing marijuana except for Coleman, who called pot a “gateway drug.” He says in talking with law enforcement officials who attend rehab centre discussions, all addicts say they started with alcohol and pot. “Alcohol today cost us more than all drugs combined,” Coleman said. ••••• Two more candidate meetings are scheduled for tonight (Tuesday) and tomorrow (Wednesday). The Langley Teachers Association will host the first meeting for candidates in both ridings from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Langley Seniors Resource Center, 20605 51B Ave. It will also be sponsored by PIPE UP Network, Kwantlen Student Association and Coalition of Child Care Advocates of B.C. And tomorrow (Wednesday), CARP and South Fraser OnTrax are co-hosting a meeting at Langley Township hall, for candidates in both Langley ridings. There will be a chance to meet candidates beginning at 6 p.m., with a media power panel asking question of candidates from 7 to 9 p.m.

Langley’s Rotary clubs work together in perfect four part harmony. Each club is self-directed with a different focus and flavor. Independently the clubs make a big difference in our community but when they work together they are a force to be reckoned with. In 2008 Rotarians rallied to organize a Gala to raise funds to help build The Salvation Army’s Gateway of Hope. The Gala was a huge success and raised $250,000. The Gateway of Hope was built in 2009 and stands as a testament as to what the four Rotary clubs can achieve when they work together. In days gone by the Langley Rotary clubs have teamed up but this project was the first interclub partnership in Rotary’s recent history. The success of the Gala inspired Rotary members. They saw the impact they could make and they wanted to reach out internationally. An interclub committee was formed and International Health Langley was born. The interclub committee is made up of Rotarians from each of the four clubs. Every year a major international health related project is selected by a club that takes the lead to bring the project to fruition. Leadership of the projects rotate among the four clubs. One of the first beneficiaries of International Health Langley was the Karanda Mission Hospital in Zimbabwe. Dr. Paul Thistle made a presentation to members of the Langley Central Rotary Club. They recognized right away that this was a perfect fit for an interclub project. With the leadership of the Langley Central Club and aided by matching grants from the Rotary Foundation $57,000 was raised for equipment and supplies for this hospital This year the Interclub committee will be working on bringing more water wells to Zimbabwe. The late Eric Bysouth had a dream. A member of the Rotary Club of Langley he wanted to bring about a major talent show similar to Canadian Idol. His club embraced the project but found it was too large of an endeavor for them to do it alone. The project was put forth and selected as an interclub project and Langley Has Talent is now in its third year. “The main idea behind the talent show was to provide a venue for local performers.” said David Truman the Assistant Governor for District 5050, Area C. “It’s an encouragement for local performers and aspiring artists to have a platform to display their talent.” he said. Rotarians in Langley see the need for a theatre and the Langley Arts Council agrees. This year the LAC was invited to sit on the Langley Has Talent committee. “Money and awareness for this performing arts theatre must be raised and Langley Has Talent does both.” he said. Tip ‘n Taste is a fundraiser that all four clubs support. Similar to the Wine Festival, this event brings together a large assortment of beers to taste and pairs them with great food. It’s a fun evening with a live band, 50/50 draws and other activities. A few years ago wine and coolers were added to the tasting menu. In its eleventh year, the popular event has raised over $150,000. Tip ‘n Taste started as a club partnership between the Rotary clubs of Langley Sunrise and Langley Central but now all four clubs are involved .This year Tip ‘n Taste takes place on July 5th and the proceeds will go to Big Brothers and Sisters of Langley. Every day in our community Rotarians demonstrate Rotary International’s motto of Service Above Self. Langley’s four Rotary clubs make Langley one of the best places to live in British Columbia and their efforts enrich our world too. With their perfect four part harmony, Langley not only has talent, it has wealth too. Happy 100 years of Rotary in Canada.

Rotary opens doors for youth The future of Rotary rests with today’s youth, which is why clubs around the world are always looking for ways to engage young people and empower them to carry the organization’s peace-building efforts into the future. To ensure a lasting legacy, The Langley Rotary Clubs have sponsored many teens and young adults over the years to attend a variety of Rotary youth programs and events, including Interact (a service club for young people ages 12 to 18) and Rotaract (a service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30). “We’re trying to develop a new generation of Rotarians with these types of programs,” said Midori Turner, the new generation’s director for the Sunrise Rotary Club. While both Interact and Rotaract are sponsored by individual Rotary Clubs, which provide support and guidance to members, they are self-governing and selfsupporting – membership varies greatly. Clubs can be single gender or mixed, large or small. Each year, Interact clubs complete at least two community service projects, one of which furthers international understanding and goodwill. All Rotaract efforts being at the local, grassroots level, with members addressing their communities’ physical and social needs while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service. Rotary also provides two exciting retreats for youth, equipping participants with valuable skills for self development as well as an awareness of how Rotary Clubs operate. The Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is for young adults, between 18 and 30. The four-day leadership camp provides an opportunity for young adults to grow as a person and develop as a leader. Similar to RYLA, Youth Adventures in Leadership

(YAIL) – open to participant’s ages 15 to 17– providing participants with insight into some of the basics of what it means, and takes, to be a leader. “We’ve had really great positive feedback from youth about these Rotary-sponsored camps,’’ said Turner. “Many haven’t had any exposure to Rotary until going to one of these camps... they are life-changing, oneof-a-kind experiences!” Abran Johnson admits that when she attended her first youth rotary camp (RYLA) that she wasn’t sure what to expect.

For more than 75 years, students and host families have broadened their horizons through Rotary Youth Exchange. More than 80 countries and more than 8,000 students each year participate in the program, which is administered at the regional level by Rotary districts and at the local level by Rotary clubs. For more information about local and international opportunities for youth to get involved in Rotary, visit www. rotary.org.

While both of the 21-year-old Langley woman’s parents have been actively involved in Rotary, she didn’t fully understand what the organization was about until she attended the retreat. “I had always known that the Rotary does great things, but wasn’t really sure what they did,” she said. In addition to leaving the camp with a better understanding of Rotary, Johnson gained strong leadership skills she said will come in handy in both her personal and professional life. “It’s not the typical leadership training you expect,” said the university student. “The camps give you a new perspective on being a leader... on getting to know yourself and improving yourself with the help of others. If you develop yourself you can help others develop.” Johnston also made plenty of friends – young men and women who she still keeps in touch with today. “We’ve all stayed in contact and get together – we even have a Facebook group and everything.” And for youth wanting to broaden their horizons on an international level, Rotary Youth Exchange is an opportunity to learn a new way of living, be an ambassador for one’s country and make some good friends in the process.

Locally the club has supported the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation for many years and this year $40,000 from the Wine Festival was presented for the Maternity Wing. The club supports Douglas Park School with money for its breakfast program and at Christmas time club members organize a breakfast with Santa. The Boys & Girls Club of Langley has also benefited from the support of this club. Langley Central Rotarians raised $80,000 for a new facility. Langley’s own, Brett Lawrie, third base player for the Toronto Blue Jays, was so impressed by the club’s commitment he encouraged the Blue Jay’s Foundation to help and they did; to the tune of $250,000. Internationally the club focuses many of its efforts on projects in Africa. Drilling wells and establishing water collection systems are supported and the club supplies equipment for schools in Kenya. In 2012, Langley Central participated in the Liberia Project. In cooperation with the Rotary Vehicle Club of Cumberland they supplied medical and farm equipment along with a four wheel drive for the people in the village of Kparble. This truck has helped the villagers get their products to market and become more selfsufficient. Langley Central’s projects are far reaching and they make an impact not only in Langley but throughout the province. Following a presentation about a literacy program to bring libraries to B.C.’s First Nations, Rotarian and Founding member of Britco Structures David Taft offered the commentator modules used during the 2010 Olympic games to be converted and used as mini libraries. Partnerships were formed with B. C. Ferries, Seaspan, Britco, the R.C.M.P. and B.C.’s Government House and to date the club has supported three Mini Libraries. Club members look forward to supporting many more. Visit The Write To Read Project website for more information. In 1989 Rotary International opened its membership to women and in 2012, the Rotary Club of Langley Central added a project focused specifically on women. In celebration of International Women’s Day the club organizes a luncheon to honor local women for their community service. This has been very successful and will become an annual event. Three years ago a new membership program was introduced. The Langley Central Rotary Club was the only one of 200 clubs selected worldwide to participate in the Associate Membership Program. This allows a potential member to join the club on a six month trial basis for $50.

Do you want to make a difference? Do you want to change the world or make your neighbourhood a better place to live? If you do, then check out the Rotary Club of Aldergrove. Members of this Club are making a difference in Aldergrove, in Langley and in communities around the world. The club was chartered in 1991 and has 30 members. Aldergrove Rotarians are proud of their community and it shows. That’s why many of their activities are local. Club members ensure that the street banners along the CHARLIE FOX main street of Aldergrove are well maintained President Rotary Club and changed according to the season. The of Aldergrove club was instrumental in partnering with the Township of Langley to complete the community picnic shelter and Rotary Field House at Aldergrove Athletic Park. They are part of the AdoptA-Street Program and every Christmas members put up the festive lights to get Aldergrove ready for the holiday season. This active service club believes in empowering families and in particular it focuses on the communities’ youth. For the past 13 years the club has dedicated over $75,000 to support youth literacy. The club has helped sustain a number of programs directed at elementary school students in need of a hand up. This year, for example three students are being sponsored to attend a literacy camp at Betty Gilbert Elementary School. To support youth leadership and education the club provides major scholarships to students graduating from Aldergrove Community Senior Secondary and D.W. Poppy Secondary School. The club also sends students to Ottawa every year to attend the Adventures in Citizenship Program. To help youth at risk, the club has partnered with the Aldergrove Neighborhood Services Society to establish the 272 Youth Homelessness Initiative. Building 272 is a place for young people to hang out in a safe and supportive environment. In addition, club members know that hunger impacts a child’s ability to learn, so they have assisted financially with the breakfast program at Shortreed Elementary School.

Aldergrove Financial Group has been a continued and proud sponsor of Rotary International.

This year, Rotary International’s theme is Peace Through Service. To embody this theme the club is focusing on a wide variety of service projects in the community and around the world. “As local Rotarians we work through the world-wide Rotary movement to change lives and we make the world a better place through our volunteer service and efforts.” said Charlie Fox, the club’s president. Internationally, for the past 12 years the club has been instrumental in bringing water well systems, latrines and smokeless stoves to remote areas of Nepal. Every year the proceeds from the annual golf tournament go directly to this cause and this spring two club members will visit Nepal to see firsthand the work made possible because of the club’s support. The Rotary Club of Aldergrove regularly partners with the other three Rotary clubs in Langley to help improve health care in Zimbabwe and club member Katy Lowen and her family went to Zimbabwe to visit the people whose lives were made better by this project.

Congratulations Rotary International in continued outstanding success in community service over the past 100 years!

Mischief, magic & misadventure Langley’s Kaela Willey dances in Coastal City Ballet’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream

oastal City Ballet, a pre-professional ballet company established in 2011, presents a newly commissioned choreographic vision of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Performances will take place on May 5 at 7:30 p.m. at The ACT in Maple Ridge and on May 7 at 7:30 p.m. at The Centennial Theatre in North Vancouver. The production features students from throughout the Lower Mainland, including Langley dancer Kaela Willey, who is in her first year with Coastal City Ballet. “Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is among his most beloved plays,” said CCB artistic director, Li Yaming. “His beautiful words dance on the page with their depictions of impassioned lovers, graceful fairies, and harrowing forest chases. With this production, we aim to translate the elegance of his language into the joyous, expressive form that is dance.” Perfect for families and children of all ages, Coastal City Ballet’s full-length version of the adventurous tale features lavish sets, spritely costumes, and Felix Mendelssohn’s utterly enchanting score. A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Our Pastime, by photographer Detlaf Klahm, attempts to capture what it means to be Canadian. The image is one of dozens submitted to the Langley Camera Club’s annual invitational exhibit and contest. The event, which is open to the public, happens on Saturday, May 11 at Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley.

National treasures Langley Camera Club challenges phtographers to capture the true spirit of Canada Brenda anderson Times Reporter

It’s all about ‘our home and native land’, but there may not be many photographs of maple leaves, Mounties or moose on display when the Langley Camera Club hosts its annual Fraser Valley Invitational competition at Chief Sepass Theatre on Saturday, May 11. Following last year’s “Street” themed contest, the club presents: Culture — The Canadian Edition, with amateur photographers from West Vancouver to Chilliwack entering shots that speak to national identity. It’s actually a pretty difficult theme, said Langley club member, Dennis Ducklow. The goal isn’t to shoot an iconic image, such as a flag or a maple tree, but to capture people doing distinctly Canadian things, he explained. “It’s people doing what people do, that is uniquely Canadian — which is where the challenge lies.” Last year’s theme presented a bit of a test for participants, too, Ducklow said. “Of all the various aspects of

photography, street photography might be the most poorly understood.” Street photographers either walk up to strangers and say, ‘can I take your picture?’ or they hold their camera out of sight as they shoot their unknowing subjects — which leads to ethical concerns, Ducklow said. “Because of that, most people are uncomfortable with it. “The response to the challenge of street photos could have been better. But it was a great event — a thoroughly entertaining night.” This year’s competition will once again be adjudicated by area photographers who are highly respected leaders in their field, Ducklow said. There will also be another 100 prints on display and guests will be invited to vote for their favourites. “There are so many darn prizes — all photography related. It’s a real party atmosphere,” said Ducklow. Each year the Fraser Valley Invitational (FVI) exhibits the work of top amateur photographers from across the Lower Mainland. continued, PAGE 24

Local bowlers ready to roll at nationals Miranda Gathercole Times Reporter

For 14 years Casey Robitaille has been perfecting his bowling techniques at Willowbrook Lanes. Practising three to four times a week, the 20-year-old bowls in three different leagues and won gold with Willowbrook Lanes’ senior boys team at the Youth Bowling Canada (YBC) 4 Steps to Stardom tournament in March. Now Robitaille, and his teammates Braydyn Ingebrigtsen, Ryan Edwards and Brandon Kirk, will be representing Langley at the 49th annual YBC National Championships, being co-hosted by Willowbrook Lanes from May 4-6. Also joining them will be Langley senior boys singles gold medalist Michael Dicks. For them, competing in nationals is one of the top goals they have all been striving for. “Bowling kind of started out as something my parents got me into, and I liked it, so my goal was to get to nationals ever since I really started to get competitive ,” Robitaille said. “It just drove me to get to the top.” One of the most challenging parts of competition is staying focused on the game, Robitaille said. Only 10 per cent of the game comes down to your skills, the other 90 per cent is all mental. “It’s kind of like a roller coaster,” he said. “If you have a bad game and you lose you’ve got to be able to get back up from that. Let’s say you bowl the highest game you’ve ever bowled, and you lose, and you can get down on yourself. You just have to throw that out the door and go back and be able to win the next

Though the numbers of bowling leagues has been declining in recent

years, events like the YBC national Championships proves that there is still a great demand for high level competitions, said Bob Randall, owner of Willowbrook Lanes. He and his wife purchased the bowling alley in 1986, and have

witnessed participation in the sport decline by 60 per cent in the Lower Mainland in the last 20 years. “It’s the same thing we see happening with church groups, curling or anything that requires people to say every Saturday at 10 o’clock I will be there,” Randall said. “Plus competition from video games or movie theatres — there’s other things to do. Transportation is so easy now, kids can go to a hockey game one week and play a soccer game the next week and go to MetroTown the following week.” While the sport is relatively inexpensive for kids to participate in — only $250 a year with no equipment to purchase — the upkeep of bowling facilities is very expensive. The first 25,000 games that are bowled at Willowbrook Lanes every year cover just the property taxes. “Langley is a tough place to have a bowling centre because there’s a lot of space between the foul line and the pins and we have to pay $60,000 a year in taxes to have that piece of property,” Randall said. “It becomes almost prohibitory expensive. There will not be another new bowling centre opening up in Langley, you cannot support it. “It’s not about the money, but at some point you have to say it is, because you need that money to survive. I’m doing this because I want to be doing this, because I love the sport.” For Randall, one of the most satisfying parts of running his business is seeing kids like Robitaille and Dicks work hard to become successful in the sport. “For me the best part would be seeing a young family come in here looking continued, PAGE 28

Jr. Blaze continue winning ways The Langley Junior Blaze are still perfect on the season after winning three more games to improve to 6-0. The U16 B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League team doubled up the White Rock Junior Tritons 8-4 at McLeod Park on April 24 and then swept both ends of a doubleheader on Saturday in Victoria, defeating the Junior Eagles 7-5 and 4-0. Blaze 8 Tritons 4 After White Rock rallied for three runs in the top of the fifth inning to tie the score at four, the Blaze responded with four runs — two of which were unearned — in the sixth to win 8-4. Josh Geerts picked up the win, allowing four runs —

none of which were earned — on three hits and one walk. He struck out five. Danny Hollins, Devon Bird, Brendan Holstrom and Dakota Curry each drove in a run for Langley. Blaze 7 Eagles 5 Langley put up five runs in the second inning en route to the 7-5 victory. It was again a balanced attack as four players — Tony Pharand, Dayton Wilson, Nick Laflamme and Ryan Lipscomb —each drove in a run. Nick Evans got the win, allowing four runs — none earned — over three innings. He struck out three. Blaze 4 Eagles 0 After loading the bases in the bottom of the first inning

on a single and a pair of walks, Parker Logan pitched his way out of the jam. And that would be the only hit he surrendered, finishing with a complete game shut-out in Langley’s 4-0 victory. Logan finished with 10 strikeouts and five walks over the seven innings. The offence took advantage of three Victoria errors to score two unearned runs. Hollins and Kevin Sanghera had the Blaze RBIs. Langley visits the Whalley Junior Chiefs on May 1 before returning to McLeod Park for a pair of doubleheaders on May 4 and 5 against the Nanaimo Junior Pirates and Fraser Valley Junior Chiefs, respectively.

Bowling a sport for whole family from PAGE 27

for something to do, maybe a birthday party or what have you, and have the kids get involved in the program, have the parents get involved in the program. Have their grandfather or grandmother come

down and play as a senior. “We have kids here that are five whose mom and dad bowl in a league, who’s grandparents bowl in a seniors’ league, and they have something in common. And to see those kids grow, learn to enjoy

the game and want to be here. No one ever made it a living playing 5-pin bowling, but certainly to be part of the bowling community and go to zone, provincial and national finals is really a highlight for me. Just to watch the growth.”

Boutique Nutrition Store at the Heart of Good Health Since opening 12 years ago, men and women from all over the Fraser Valley and beyond have made Well Beings Health & Nutrition Centre their hub for optimal health and wellness. Owner, Lloyd Baker and his friendly team are committed to offering customers exceptional service for the innovative products and services they offer at the boutiquestyle nutrition store in Murrayville. For them, it’s not just a job – it’s a way of life.

“We all look forward to working with our customers to help them empower themselves to better understand and take control of their own health,” said Baker, who along with his staff have tried many of the store’s products. “It’s a personal lifestyle – a proactive approach to health and wellness for all of us here.” The product selection and one-on-one service offered at the Langley store are second to none. “From premium- quality

vitamins and herbal & homeopathic remedies to natural skin care, etc., we carry it all,” said Baker, also noting the store’s one-on-one nutritional counselling – a complimentary service that staff are always happy to provide. “It’s not like going to a naturopath clinic where you spend a small fortune, combined we have more than 45 years of education and experience in natural health and nutrition. We are always happy also provide lots of free information,

We believe the dogs prefer to be out playing rather than locked in a kennel, so adjustments were made to the shop so that could happen.

love to graze on grass. Especially those long blades of grass along the fence line, around the stop sign or even under your favourite park bench. The interest in vegetation can varies in cats. Some do not seem to care for it, while others like to graze often. Cats on the other hand, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always have the variety of greens to satisfy their craving. Therefore in many cases they resort to pruning the house plants. Because your lawn and landscaping plants, or those of your neighbours, can sometimes be treated with pesticides, insecticides, and fertilizers, they should always be considered poisonous and off limits to your cat, this also includes a wide variety of house plants. A healthy and safe alternative for your pet to satisfy its craving is to try Petgrow oat grass

aka cat grass available fresh every week in store. Petgrow oat grass is the Ă&#x20AC;nest oat grass in town. Petgrow oat grass is 100% chemical and pesticide free and their greenhouses are eTuipped with a built in water Ă&#x20AC;ltration system, therefore all their plants are grown with Ă&#x20AC;ltered water to ma[imums the health beneĂ&#x20AC;ts of the grass, therefore a much safer alternative to potentially harm of the outdoor grass. Besides the fact that pets like to graze on the greens, oat grass provides many health beneĂ&#x20AC;ts for your pet. :hen the oat seed is planted it produces beautiful, healthy green blades rich in chlorophyll (a natural breath freshener , anti-o[idants (helps Ă&#x20AC;ghts cancer), vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Oat grass aids in a healthy digestion, and help move hairballs along. Instead of coughing up the hairball, the hairball is more likely to be

passed through your catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s digestive system. The grass also provides a great source of Ă&#x20AC;bre (roughage) in your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diet. Normally, the amount of grass consumed by a cat or dog is small; however some will over-eat grass, regardless of the type or where it is grown. If this occurs infrequently, it is not likely to be a problem. But in some cases it may indicate indigestion and if the behaviour persists, it could be an indicator of a physical problem that requires attention. If you observe frequent binge eating of grass, we recommend consulting with your veterinarian. Other pets that enjoy grazing on oat grass include rabbits and guinea pigs that require added roughage and greens in their diet in addition to their pellets to maintain a healthy digestion system. Some birds also enjoy picking at oat grass.
