Langley driver dies following collision that killed family Brain tumour may have contributed to crash TRACY HOLMES Black Press

A sixth person has died following the horrific crash that killed five members of one family in South Surrey last week. Daniel Gore, 46, of Langley, died Sunday shortly after 1 p.m., one week after the crash at 176 Street and 32 Avenue that claimed the lives of Surrey residents three-year-old Jessica Sachdeva, five-year-old brother Annish, aunt Neelam Dhingra, 47, grandmother Vidya Sachdeva, 68, and mother Pawandeep Arjot, 31. Richard Fowler, lawyer for Gore’s family, told Black Press Monday that Gore died after undergoing surgery for a “non-malignant brain tumour.” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said the condition was discovered in hospital, where Gore was initially listed in serious but stable condition following the April 28 crash. Police had previously said indications were that a westbound van driven by a lone occupant had sped through a red light into the Sachdeva family’s sedan, and that charges were likely. At the time of the collision, Gore was apparently en route to his job as a meat-cutter at a Thrifty Foods in South Surrey — a job he had started just a week prior. He was scheduled to start his shift “a short time after” the crash

occurred, Paquet said. Paquet told Black Press it is believed Gore’s condition was pre-existing but officials are attempting to confirm whether it was a contributing factor to the crash. He expects the investigation will take “at least several weeks,” but said it’s possible there will never be a definitive answer. “With the tragic twist of events yesterday, it is a possibility we have to face,” he said. “Our investigators never spoke with him. “We’re definitely dealing with a grey area right now that we hope our investigation will be able to answer.” Fowler said from what he can gather, the tumour did play a role. “His family is absolutely devastated by his passing and of course by the circumstances of the tragic accident, which by all accounts appears to have been the result of some underlying medical condition. “We may never know for certain but people who know him well describe him as a careful driver. By all accounts (he) wasn’t late for work, he had breakfast with his son before driving to work that day. “He had plenty of time to get to work. It would have been so out of the ordinary for him to be driving like that — speeding or going through a red light like that.” Fowler said Gore was a father who had lots of friends. “People described him as a very nice man, a careful driver and somebody who is going to be missed.” Paquet said he is hopeful the investigation can bring the two families some closure. – with files from Sarah Massah

BIG BOUNCE: It was a very large basketball, but Trianne Fraser managed to get it airborne Sunday in Douglas Park as participants gathered for the Langley Walk. The weather for the 51st annual walk was warm and sunny. See story, page 11.

Bodies of Langley teens recovered from Nicola Lake Pair missing since canoe overturned on April 21 The bodies of two Langley Secondary School students who went missing April 21 were found Monday in Nicola Lake. The families had hired Gene and Sandy Ralston of Idaho, who

specialize in water recoveries, after police ended their search for Austin Kingsborough and Brendan Wilson. The two longtime friends, both Grade 12 LSS students, had been at the Wilson family property at Nicola Lake, near Merritt. When they did not return home as expected for supper on Sunday, April 21, their families alerted police. The next morning, an overturned canoe was found on the lake.

The Ralstons began their search on Sunday, and searched all day. When the search resumed Monday morning, they found the bodies fairly quickly, in about 75 feet of water. The bodies were recovered from Nicola Bay, near where the canoe had been located. The families did not hold out much hope after the formal search ended, family friend Scott Lebus said last week.

They hired the Ralstons because of their expertise in recovering drowning victims. They have recovered 84 drowning victims using their unique equipment. The two teens, who were also well-known in Langley Minor Hockey circles, had many friends at LSS and the school community was deeply affected by the tragedy.

Rich Coleman is taking nothing for granted dan Ferguson Times Reporter

Fort-Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman settles into a seat at the Langley Events Centre Arena Bowl for a Times photo shoot. It was Coleman, the then-forests minister, who brokered a $15 million provincial government grant that led to construction of the 5,500 seat space as the largest part of the biggest sports and recreation project in Langley’s history. While the project was dogged with cost overruns and controversy, Coleman is firmly convinced it all turned out well. “I’m really proud of this place, actually,” he says. “I don’t think there’s a better multipurpose facility anywhere.” This election will be the fifth campaign for the political veteran who was recently called the “minister of votes” by the Tyee online news site for his habit of winning by large margins. The last time out, in 2009, Coleman won with 61.09 per cent of the vote, more than double the 30.23 per cent his nearest rival collected. Other commentators have called the Fort Langley-Alder-

grove riding “Coleman country” for the same reason. Even if the Liberal government goes down to defeat, as most polls suggest, Coleman is considered a good bet to hold his seat. He sees things differently. For one thing, he says he doesn’t think a Liberal government defeat is inevitable, pointing to polls that show the gap with the rival NDP has been narrowing. For another, he doesn’t think his win can be taken for granted. “I think you should always run like you’re running behind,” he says. And that means running on local issues. A conversation with Coleman about his campaign is peppered with references to Langley-area concerns, for instance noting his role in bringing two new schools to his riding. He says he intends to get “planning money’ as a first step toward expansion of the R.E. Mountain school to help keep pace with rapid population growth. “They’ll [the schools] be full and they’ll be under pressure.” He also wants to see some kind of recreation centre built in Aldergrove.

Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times

Rich Coleman counts the construction of the Langley Events Centre as a major accomplishment during his time in office. His website lists his many local connections, including past stints as governor of the BC Kinsmen, president of the Aldergrove Chamber of Commerce, Langley’s 1988 Volunteer of the Year, and a director on several volunteer boards. “As a member of the Aldergrove Kinsmen Club in the 1980s, Rich oversaw the volunteer fundraising and construction efforts that built the Aldergrove Kinsmen

Community Centre, a vital community facility which houses a preschool, library, workout area, and meeting space,” the site notes. Now deputy premier and minister of energy, mines and natural gas and minister responsible for housing, Coleman calls politics his fourth career. He has worked as an RCMP officer, run his own security company and sold real estate.

Coleman reminds his interviewer that he got started in politics as a “sign guy,” one of the volunteer who plants campaign placards. Back then, he recalls, the signs were plywood and made with paint stencils. Now they are lightweight weather-proof plastic, but the art of finding high-visibility locations has not changed. He still tends to pay particular attention to where his signs go up, and praises a just-retired “sign guy” who had a brilliantly organized system for distribution. For over 20 years, Coleman has regularly had breakfast at the same local cafe with the same group of friends who like to kid him by reminding him how much more money he would be making in the private sector. “They keep me real,” Coleman says. Now a grandfather of three, he says he was thinking about retiring from politics. But he decided to go one more time because the appeal of the job remains. It’s a way of making real change, Coleman says, change that can benefit the next generations.

Striking a balance between growth and the environment NDP’s Shane Dyson takes second run at Fort LangleyAldergrove seat Brenda anderson Times Reporter

The health of Langley’s environment and the protection of its waterways are top of mind for Shane Dyson. In fact, it’s a subject that hits close to home for the NDP candidate for Fort Langley-Aldergrove. Over the past 20 years, Dyson and his wife Leslie have lived and raised three sons on five acres in Aldergrove — a property that draws its drinking water from an aquifer and through which a section of the Salmon River runs.

The couple sees themselves as stewards of the fish-bearing stream, said Dyson. “The environment is big for us. “I’m worried about the expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline over aquifers and under nearby schools. If there’s ever a break — if the bitumen goes into the ground and water — it will take a long time for nature to flush it out.” Concern over the potential twinning of the pipeline, which carries bitumen from Alberta’s tar sands to port in Burnaby, is just one reason that Dyson has decided to seek a seat in Victoria. This is the second time he’s run provincially — the first time was in 2005. He is once again challenging Liberal incumbent Rich Coleman who has held the seat for 17 years. Dyson has also run unsuccessfully twice for Township council.

“The kids were entering high school and it was a time to pay back. I wanted to advance more good things. It was the right time,” said Dyson of his provincial run eight years ago. “I wish I’d had a few more votes.” Although he didn’t win, the campaign was a jumping off point to get involved in other projects including the Salmon River Enhancement Society’s efforts to protect the waterway as well as a number of other social advocacy issues. With his wife, Dyson owns Face to Face Communications, offering public relations services for education groups and private sector unions. Not surprisingly, respect for unions and the contracts they hold with the government play into Dyson’s stand on a number of issues. Asked whether the NDP would revisit

bridge tolling over the Fraser River, Dyson replied simply that the contracts are in place. “The NDP are cognizant of the value of contracts. We’re not going to break a contract and walk away,” he said. At the same time, he added, those who live south of the river are penalized by the fees. “There are no tolls on the Sea to Sky, no bridges in Vancouver are tolled.” And as far as transit — Sky Train and bus service — is concerned, he said, Langley (Aldergrove in particular) has arguably some of the worst service in the Lower Mainland. “If a kid (in Aldergrove) wants to see a movie tonight at Colossus, they had to catch the bus yesterday.” continued, PAGE 4

SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS WORKING TOGETHER FOR STUDENT SUCCESS

District seeks feedback on budget priorities

The Board of Education of the Langley School District is asking for public input into the preparation of the operating fund component of its 2013-2014 Annual Budget. The 2013-2014 annual budget will be developed following the principles of the Board of Education’s Strategic Plan 2012-2013: Year I of III and the goals of the District Achievement Contract 2011-2014 which includes the particular foci of our Aboriginal Education Programs. The Board is asking that your input take into consideration its four fundamental principles: 1. Having caring, safe and welcoming schools 2. Providing educational opportunities to improve student success 3. Engaging in proactive planning for maintaining healthy and sustainable schools 4. Being responsible stewards of district resources and, the three primary goals of the District Achievement Contract: 1. Improving transition results for our students 2. Improving literacy skills for all students 3. Improving numeracy skills for all students The Board of Education approved the District’s amended annual budget at its February 26th Regular Meeting. The amended budget projects that the $13.5 million operating funding deficit that existed at the end of June 2010 will be completely repaid by June 30, 2013, two years ahead of the Ministry of Education’s approved Deficit Elimination Plan. However, it will be difficult for the District to continue to experience the financial successes of the last three years in 2013-2014 due to significant cost pressures it will face next year, as illustrated below: Teacher pension increase Transition back to GST/PST system Retroactive 2.0% wage lift for CUPE (with benefits) 2013-2014 2.0% wage lift for all (with benefits) Richard Bullpit startup costs Middle school staffing Addition of trades staff Other benefit increases Utilities & waste diversion increases General inflation

Trustees Proudly Wear BCSTA “Me Too BC” Campaign Buttons during their recent Regular Meeting.

While the recent Ministry of Education Funding announcement for next year does provide additional funding of approximately $2.6 million over what the district received in 2010-2013, the District is still projected to have a shortfall in excess of $3.0 million in 2013-2014 based on a status quo expenditure budget. In submitting your feedback, please give consideration to budget reductions and budget additions both from an overall district perspective and from your personal perspective as it relates to a particular school or a particular area of the district.

Shane Dyson, NDP candidate for Fort Langley-Aldergrove has been making the rounds in his mobile campaign office.

Aldergrove ‘a community with a lot of needs’ – Dyson from PAGE 3

Aldergrove is a community with a lot of needs, said Dyson. “I applaud some of the work the Liberals have done with housing and homelessness on the Downtown Eastside, but we’ve got great long lineups at the food bank in Aldergrove,” said Dyson. One need that is not exclusive to that community, though, is a hospital that keeps pace with local growth, he said. “I applaud the expansion of Abbotsford and Surrey hospitals, but our residents can’t necessarily make it to either. “(LMH) needs to be upgraded, modernized and expanded to meet the needs of a growing population.” Although he had nothing but praise for doctors, nurses and support staff, Dyson said it’s difficult to provide the best service they can with limited resources. “Health care is very expensive. We need to talk to healthcare providers to see where the inefficiencies are. “We have to do more with less.” It is a similar story with education, said Dyson. Finding efficiencies and setting priorities are crucial, he said. “For example, the Liberals plan to do RESPs for kids — they won’t be spent for 12 years. We would take that money and put it in the system right now.” The “back-breaking” debt carried

by many post secondary students is another area that needs to be reexamined, he said. “In 2005 I wanted to run because I was disappointed in some of the changes the Liberals were making at the time,” Dyson said. “They reduced income tax 25 per cent. That blows a hole in the budget and leads to service cuts or layoffs.” Asked about the expansion of gaming as a funding source under the Liberal government, Dyson sighed. “I’m not a fan of gambling,” he said. “We allowed gambling when we were in government, but the Liberals expanded it 10-fold. It breaks my heart to walk into a casino … and see people sitting in front of slots. Twenty years ago, they may have (spent that time) volunteering at churches or schools. “On the other hand, we’ve become dependent on that revenue. It’s not an easy circle to square.” As far as how Dyson sees his chances in a riding that has been a Liberal stronghold for the better part of two decades, he said that will be up to the voters on May 14. “Just about everyone I’ve spoken to talks about a need to change for the better. “Twelve years is too long; it’s a tired government,” he said. “Rich Coleman is prominent, but (the Liberals’) brand has diminished.”

Air ambulance needed twice

miranda gathercole Times Reporter

Air ambulances were dispatched to Langley twice on Sunday afternoon after two separate vehicle collisions. The first crash occurred at 1:40 p.m. at 56 Avenue and 200 Street. It involved three vehicles. A Ford Escape traveling northbound on 200 Street was proceeding through a green light when it was struck by an eastbound Chrysler Sebring. The Sebring then also struck a 2011 Kia Sorento. The force of the collision caused the Escape to roll onto its roof, trapping the driver inside.

Langley City firefighters untangled the driver, a 41-yearold woman, from the foot pedals of the vehicle and she was transported to hospital via air ambulance. Her injuries were minor. Two others were also taken to hospital with minor injuries. No one in the Sorento was injured. The driver of the Sebring, a 67-year-old Surrey woman, was given a ticket for failing to stop at a red light. The second collision happened just over an hour later at 240 Street and 48 Avenue. A 2006 Toyota Sienna, traveling eastbound on 48 Avenue, was making a right turn onto 240 Street when it collided

with a southbound 1966 Chevrolet Caprice. The impact caused the Caprice to hit a 2005 Jeep Liberty that was parked in a driveway. Two people were airlifted to hospital — the driver of the Sienna, a 63-year-old Langley woman, who had non lifethreatening injuries and the driver of the Caprice, a 55-yearold Langley man, who had severe, but non life-threatening injuries. He is expected to make a full recovery. Police are seeking witnesses to the crash. Anyone with information on either collision that would assist investigators is asked to please call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Let’s hear from ‘Flip’

They know the riding

any members of the public are calling him “Flip” Wilson. And the term is quite fitting. Former BC Liberal leader Gordon Wilson, who was forced out of the leader’s office almost 20 years ago, has come back to his old party. This comes after he publicly demeaned the party for years, and most particularly Gordon Campbell, who took over the leadership from him. Wilson and his wife Judi Tyabji left the BC Liberals to form the Progressive Democratic Alliance. In 1996, Wilson was the only PDA candidate elected. Two years later, he dissolved his party and jumped to the NDP after being offered a cabinet position by then-premier Glen Clark. On a number of occasions as an NDP cabinet minister, he attacked Christy Clark, who was then an opposition Liberal MLA. Wilson said it was his decision to come out in favour of the BC Liberals. He decries the NDP’s Adrian Dix for flip-flopping on the Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal, and says his attitude towards economic development projects is troubling. Wilson says the NDP wants to spend a lot of extra money, but is biting the hand that feeds the government’s coffers — resource development. In the course of 20 years, Wilson has been a Liberal, a PDA, an NDP and now is backing the Liberals again. While he has every right to change his mind, as we all do, his statements needs to be looked at carefully by anyone who is considering following his lead. The question needs to be asked — what’s in it for Wilson? Has he been promised a patronage position if the BC Liberals are re-elected? That’s something voters need to consider. The questions Wilson raises about the NDP’s stance on resource development are good ones. Dix’s flip-flop on Kinder Morgan is very troubling, as it indicates that environmentalists can derail almost any major resource development project by shouting loudly and pushing the fear buttons. It also indicates to the rest of Canada that B.C. politicians are quite prepared to close our ports to export traffic, based on the whims of a certain proportion of the people who live here. Voters should carefully analyze the stances of Dix, Clark, John Cummins and Jane Sterk on these issues, and not simply rush to vote a certain way because of a voice from the past.

andidates committed to connecting with voters this election campaign are knocking on doors. Lots of them. And at the doorstep, it’s easy to sort out the candidates who are committed to their riding and those who are in the race just for a comfy chair in Victoria or helicopter rides to a cabinet table. Simply put, good candidates know their riding. Good candidates won’t tell you about the need to replace aging school infrastructure or that health care wait lists are unacceptable. They won’t talk about the need for more rapid transit or debate the future of the carbon tax. They also won’t speak of the need to boost our forestry and mining industries to ensure British Columbia continues to enjoy the confidence of investors. All are important issues, sure. But let the leaders sort that out. Voters who really care how many dollars will be invested in this program or that program are free to study platforms of the parties, most of which lay this out on websites and campaign literature. Besides, party leaders are trumpeting these facts throughout the campaign, which is dutifully followed by hordes of news media. Local candidates who deserve support are ones who talk about issues in local ridings. When asked about education on the doorstep, good candidates will talk about needed upgrades to local schools. When asked about health care, they’ll talk about the need to expand the local hospital. When asked about transit, they’ll talk about a lack of bus service here. Some candidates running for election May 14 know their stuff because they care about their community. Others aren’t nearly as familiar with their potential constituents and what they can do to help them.

None of the choices are very appealing Editor: I’m writing about the circle of politics. Just like life, it appears that the political scene must run its course. On the one side we have the pompous and arrogant Liberals, and on the other we have the big spenders (the NDP) who have no appreciation for how business operates. Once again, we see the cycle coming to fruition whereby the NDP must have their four years to help destroy B.C.’s economy in order to make the people of B.C. appreciate the fact that without business, we will pay. Adrian Dix continues to promise to spend money with no regard as to how all his promises will be paid for. We will spend millions on training skilled workers, he vows.

Little does he want to admit that, without the growth of business, he will only be training our people to move east after the taxpayer has paid for the training. There will be no jobs for these individuals to go to. He suggests taxing those who earn over $150,000, and adding a three per cent tax to the big banks. If you have to carry a $800,000 to $1 milion mortgage to live in the Vancouver area, $150,000 is not a huge sum of money to pay for the same. Does he think the banks will not pass the three per cent increase on to the consumer? I say to him, get your head out of the sand. The Liberals on the other hand will continue on their own spending spree, but at least they will also be working

towards expanding the economy. Mary Polak of the Liberals will give us an “ultimatum” in the form of a referendum on further funding for TransLink. It will give the people of the Lower Mainland the opportunity of deciding how they will pay for it. I am sure the referendum will not offer a choice of no further funding beyond what they have already. Then we have the Green Party. They are idealistic, but not in the real world of business. The Conservatives will go nowhere until they replace John Cummins with a younger, dynamic individual. One should learn that there is a time for retirement. B.C. drastically needs a change, but there is no choice again if B.C. is to

grow into the future. Maybe some day there will be a refreshing new political party that will meet the needs of B.C.? I have been through Dave Barrett’s run, and that of Glen Clark, where a “young” 35-year-old Dix made some mistakes? I’m sorry, but I cannot believe anything that Dix said then or now. Very reluctantly I know that I have no choice as to who I must vote for, but I will state quite clearly that it is with great reluctance. To the people of B.C., remember if you do not vote, you have no right to complain. T. McLeod, Langley

Rotary is fun and it makes a difference Editor: Re: “Rotary — 100 years in B.C.,” (The Times, May 3). As an enthused Rotarian and past president of the Rotary Club of Langley Central, I’d like to express my personal appreciation for the recent articles The Times ran celebrating Rotary’s 100 years in B.C. Even I, as someone with some insight into what we do, was really impressed reading about how much our area clubs get done to make a difference in the lives of many in our community and around the world. While we do work hard and donate time and money through our commitment to our motto “Service Above Self,”

there is another, perhaps even selfgratifying side to this story. In serving others, we as Rotarians end up being the better served. Let me touch on just a few of the many benefits of being a member of a Rotary Club. It’s a ton of fun; inspirational and frankly just plain makes us feel good. A comment we often hear from prospective members is “I’m too busy at work or building my business” to join Rotary. The one and a half hours a week we spend at a Rotary meeting can be, and often is, the most valuable business building time you spend. Rotary provides the opportunity to get to know,

become friends with and be trusted by well-connected community, business, professional and industry leaders. Interesting speakers (such as Wally Buono of the BC Lions, who will be speaking to our club on Wednesday, May 8), an inexpensive meal, some camaraderie and a good laugh might be exactly what Rotary provides to break up your week. Check out membership in a Rotary Club to see for yourself. No matter where you travel or move to in the world, fellow Rotarians provide instant friendship, support and assistance. Rotary is also fun, which is

embodied in our regular meetings as well as social events. All of this comes along with the pride and good feelings we get helping make our communities, and the world, better and more peaceful for everyone. We are ordinary people who get far more than we give from Rotary membership. For more information on Rotary Club membership, you can call me at 604-3131102 or Linda Mross at 604-328-4305 or any Rotarian you know. Check us out at langleyrotary.com.

Editor: I’m concerned that many British Columbians are more focused on “change” for the sake of change rather than electing the party most likely to foster job creation and financial stability. Our province’s resource endowment has always been a mainstay of both jobs and the generation of revenues needed to fund social programs. From what I have seen and heard, an NDP government would rev up spending while stymieing resource development through endless environmental reviews and or by just saying “no,” driving investment to other provinces and other countries. We need new mines and gas fields, pipelines, refineries, ports and processing plants to replace jobs lost by technological change and by events like the pine beetle catastrophe. Economic development and the protection of the environment are not mutu-

ally exclusive. Yes, we must be good stewards of our beautiful province, but we do have the technology to move the economy forward in an environmentally responsible manner. Saying no to new projects will mean job losses for currently employed people, and no opportunity for young people looking to join the work force. We also need to focus on balancing the provincial budget, rather than taking money away from social programs to fund rising interest costs. Forty years of experience in business has taught me that too much debt is crippling. It scares me that the NDP have rolled out billions of dollars in new spending during this campaign. Their “every dollar is accounted for” rhetoric just isn’t credible because their anti-development attitude will reduce revenue at the same time as spending rises.

There is truth to the adage, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” The NDP came to power in 1991 and governed the rest of that decade. Investment dried up and economic growth trailed the rest of Canada. A low point came when the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce thanked the B.C. government for driving growth and investment in Alberta. Glen Clark’s 1996-1999 tenure was arguably the most disastrous for B.C. and with Adrian Dix, Premier Clark’s former chief of staff leading the province, I’d be very worried about history repeating itself. It took many years for the Liberals to repair the damage. During their time in government, North America suffered through a major recession and yet we now have a triple-A credit rating, higher than the U.S. government, allowing B.C.

taxpayers the lowest possible interest rates. Have the Liberals done everything right? Certainly not. The introduction of the HST by the Gordon Campbell government was badly handled. There have been other gaffes and ill-thought out policies. And while there is a natural inclination for people to vote to change long-governing parties, it’s important not to let the NDP sleepwalk to victory without thinking about which party is likely to create jobs and not burden today’s young people with a mountain of debt. I’m not asking that you agree with me, only that you think through the full consequences of your choice carefully. And then get out and vote on May 14.

Man arrested for being drunk in public Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

A 47-year-old man, of no fixed address, ended up in the drunk tank after being found passed out on a scooter on 200 Street, waking up and trying to make an intoxicated getaway on Wednesday evening (May 1). Around 7 p.m., Langley RCMP were called out to 200 Street and 44 Avenue by B.C. Ambulance Services who were dealing with what they saw was a drunk man trying to drive away on a scooter. They had originally been called by passersby who saw a man slumped over a scooter. When police arrived, they arrested the man for being drunk in a public place and for his own safety, lodged him in cells overnight to sleep it off, said Const. Craig van Herk.

Fundraiser dinner for Figueroa family Langley man’s fight against deportation moves to court Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

Supporters of Langley resident José Figueroa have organized a fund-raising dinner to help pay for a legal appeal of a recent federal ruling that denied his request to remain in Canada on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.

The organizers of the “First Community Dinner for Family Unity” at the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church estimate the cost of the judicial review of that decision to be between $5,000 and $10,000. Figueroa was ordered deported from Canada for belonging to the left-wing Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN), a group linked to violent acts against the regime that ruled the country during the civil war from 1980 to 1992. Though the FMLN went on to become the government of El Salvador following

Madness For Mom don’t miss out!

a non-violent and democratic election, and even though the government of Canada has formally recognized the FMLN, the immigration laws still consider it a terrorist group. Figueroa and his wife are raising three children, all born in Canada. “Our family is being threatened to be split,” Figueroa told The Times. “Over three years of this struggle with immigration is way too much. “The only way we will be able to achieve justice is with the support and solidarity of the community.” The $20-a-plate dinner will feature

Latin American cuisine provided by Hugo’s Mexican Kitchen, live music, and an auction. It will be held Saturday, May 25 at 6 p.m. at the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church, 20530 88 Ave. To RSVP or volunteer, people are asked to send an email to_ communitydinner4familyunity@gmail. com by May 11.

A lawn mower could have been the source of a garage fire that caused $150,000 in damage on Saturday night. The owner at 1417 242 Street had just finished mowing the lawn before the garage and nearby lean-to went up in flames around 6 p.m., said Township fire chief Bruce

Ferguson. Firefighters from Aldergrove, Otter and Murrayville were dispatched to the scene. The contents of the garage included two vehicles, a motorcycle and tools. The owner and the owner’s son were taken to Langley Memorial Hospital with minor injuries, mostly from trying to retrieve items from the burning garage.

Moving away from wells in East Langley Water supply plan is biggest project ever undertaken by Township’s Engineering Department Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

Work on the $33.5 million East Langley Water Supply project officially began with a ground-breaking ceremony on May 1 to mark the first phase of work on a new pipeline to bring Metro Vancouver water to Aldergrove and Gloucester. It is the biggest project ever undertaken by the Township of Langley’s engineering department, with 14 kilometres of water main and a booster pump station. Phase 1 will run a onemetre diameter steel water main between Willoughby and Murrayville following 72 Avenue, 210 Street, Worrell Crescent, 216 Street, 56 Avenue, and 224 Street. Work will run Monday to Friday until December, 2013. East Langley’s water currently comes from seven groundwater wells. In the summer, when water usage peaks each

The Aldergrove Community Plan projects

increased demand for water, with the population in the area growing from 12,000 to 20,000 people within 20 to 30 years. Mayor Jack Froese said the project will ensure a sustainable supply of water. “Aldergrove and Gloucester’s current water supply comes from ground water aquifers and aging wells, and long-term monitoring has shown this is not sustainable,” Froese said. “It [the project] will significantly pay off in the long run.” Ramin Seifi, Langley Township’s General Manager of Engineering and Community Development said bringing in water from Metro Vancouver will reduce the rate at which local aquifers are being depleted and their ability to recharge will be enhanced.” Once the pipeline’s first phase is completed, additional connections will be constructed into the Salmon River Uplands, including the municipal Tall Timbers and Acadia water systems, to give other rural areas access to Metro water. The East Langley Water Supply Project will not be paid through property taxes. Instead, it will be funded through higher utility fees that went up a couple of years ago to pay for the project.

MOM IN LOVE WITH FOOD?

All the kids know it, and I love to flaunt it. Yep, I’m a Mom In Love with Food. That’s why they bought me a Well Seasoned gift certificate for Mother’s Day. Now I’ll really heat things up!

Method: Combine dried cranberries and cranberry juice in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High 1 minute or until hot. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line 1 large or 2 small baking sheets with parchment paper. Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper in large bowl. Using vegetable grater, grate butter into flour mixture. Stir with fork until butter is well coated. Add Cheddar; stir to coat. Stir in the bacon. Combine eggs and buttermilk in medium bowl. Stir in remaining plumped cranberries and all juices. Pour egg mixture over flour mixture. Stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Scoop 10 large mounds of batter 2 inches apart onto baking sheet.

Gift ideas for Mother’s Day! Mosts moms will appreciate chocolates or flowers. But for children who want to offer her something a little more special there are a number of different gift options to make Mom’s big day enjoyable.

Mother’s Day Gift $ .00 Set 89 Reg. $129

■ Make your mom a themed gift basket based on her hobbies. For example: Make a basket of gardening gear. Garden plants and supplies are perhaps the greenest gifts to give Mom. Plants are so plentiful and varied that there are bound to be ideal flowers or greenery for every mother’s tastes. Compile different gardening essentials, such as seeds or seedlings, organic soil mix, mulch, all-natural compost, and a few different planting containers. You can also include gardening gloves and ergonomic tools made of recycled materials. Finish the gift with the inclusion of a book that describes different garden designs and gives tips for beginners. Pamper mom with organic products. What mom doesn’t enjoy a little pampering from time to time? You can treat your mother to a spa experience at home by assembling a basket full of organic shampoo, conditioner, massage oils, bath salts, and any other organic spa items you can find. ■ Spend the day outdoors. Most moms cherish any gift from their children, whether lavish or simple. A nice, eco-friendly gift is to spend time together. Research local parks or hiking trails and plan a day where you both commune with nature. Or even head to the seaside for a relaxing day. Explore the landscape and be on the lookout for birds and washed up treasure from the sea. Plan to finish the day with a homemade, picnic lunch.

— PRESIDENT’S REPORT —

n March, the Board of Directors participated in a planning session to begin the process of identifying a long range plan for the Chamber looking to the future, and to prepare for succession of our staff. The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce is one we should all be extremely proud of – we are active in our advocacy efforts and member services, and we are responsive to our member’s requests and needs. Looking to the future, we envision increasing our advocacy efforts as the Voice of Business and enhancing our current services and programs by expanding our staffing levels and facilitates. This will be an ongoing project to develop a plan and direction for the next three years, and to identify specific goals to achieve the plan. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I extend our thanks to those members who responded to our survey

in regards to a Chamber Position Statement concerning Transportation Funding. We were very pleased by the amount of support (73% of respondents are in agreement) and encouraging comments received. We have forwarded the statement to the Ministry of Transportation, Mayors and TransLink, along with our request to have the opportunity to participate in stakeholder discussions to identify a fair and reasonable solution to this issue. We also received a number of questions and concerns as a result of the survey that I would like to respond to:

• We see the regional road tolls being electronic similar to the Port Mann, so no new infrastructure in the form of collection booths, etc. • We agree that regional road tolls should be scaled based on time periods – i.e. they will be higher to deter traffic in the busiest times and be lower at night. • We also sympathize with and understand the reluctance to pay more, but the concern is we have let infrastructure growth go too slow in the past and now have to catch up. Thank you once again to our members for your response and keen interest in this important issue.

opportunity to meet and ask questions of the candidates in the Langley and Fort Langley/Aldergrove Ridings. Employers are reminded that are required to provide 4 consecutive hours for employees to attend the polls to cast their vote on Election Day – Tuesday, May 14, 2013. We also encourage employers to meet with your employees to ensure they understand the importance of the election to your business and to encourage them to exercise their democratic rights! In closing, I would also express our gratitude to all of the candidates who have put their name forward to serve our community as our Provincial Representative in the Legislature, it is an incredibly important job and we are counting on you to be our voice in Victoria. Thank you.

As part of our ‘Your Voice – Your Vote’ campaign to increase voter turnout at the polls, we have now completed the Leadership Luncheon Series and three Angie Quaale separate All Candidates President Meetings to provide an

CITY AND TOWNSHIP OF LANGLEY AGM NOTICE:

By Sherri-Lee Pressman, Social Media Minder

Let’s

face it… Facebook is a power house and you know you need to be on it. Here are my 10 favourite tips to help you make the most of your Facebook fanpage to help you grow your business. 1 Make sure your page is properly optimized – Use the pieces that Facebook gives you to your advantage. They are there to help you not cripple you. So use the cover image space, change it up daily, weekly, monthly if you want, just make sure to follow Facebook rules around these parts. 2 Use your “about” section wisely – This is a prime bit of real estate… use it to drive people to your website, put a call to action in it, change it up as often as you’d like as well. Keep it fresh. 3 Ask current clients to like your page and share it with their friends – this allows you to engage your current clients and keep them up to date and it allows you to connect to new people through their introduction. 4 Set up a custom page with an opt in box to grow your newsletter – This really is the best way to build your list. Create a fa bulous offer that the people in your niche are dying for, offer it to them for free in exchange for their email address and boom your list grows! 5 Post engaging, interesting content daily – Don’t be all about you. Post content that resonates with your target audience, ask questions, post pictures, share inspirational quotes… and then occasionally slip a sales piece in the mix. 6 Use the search box to find other local to you businesses to connect with – Make sure you are using Facebook as your page, click in the search box and put in the name of your city (include your state and province), click search. Pages will come up that are within that area that you can like as your page to build relationships and connections. Try a bunch of different terms and see what comes up. 7 Check your pages newsfeed – Now that your page, likes other pages… check the newsfeed daily to see what they are saying and to see how you can contribute. Don’t make it all about you… don’t ask them to like your page or share your great offer, be interested in them, add value to their post and let the relationship build organically. 8 Add a Facebook like box to your website – This might take a bit of work so you might want to get your website person to do it. You can create a Facebook like box in the admin panel of your page. Code will be generated that you can then add to your website. It will show up on your website with the number of people liking it and people can then like your page from your website in one click without leaving your website. 9 Know who you are talking to and who your target market is – Be clear on who your message is for and then talk to that one person. Be friendly and engaging and really focus on your ideal client when you post. Speak in a way that connects with them. 10 Engage your connections – People love to be involved and will be happy to help. Ask them questions, use the question/poll option to get their opinions, include them in your business decisions (ask their opinion), seek feedback and ask them to like, comment and share your posts.

e’re too small. We don’t have anything cyber criminals would want. Security is too expensive. These all tend to be reasons small businesses use to justify ignoring information security. Unfortunately, this casual attitude doesn’t prevent a small business becoming a fraud target. Even the smallest businesses have an online presence. And the increasing interconnectedness with technical systems leaves small businesses at increased risk. The reality is every company, big or small, holds information such as social insurance numbers, password credentials to online banking, or customer information that is easily monetized by criminals. Happily, there are some simple steps any small business can take to improve

their security. Change default passwords and account names Installing hardware or software, a wireless router for example, out of the box without reconfiguring the default passwords is one of the most common security mistakes small businesses make, but one that is easily corrected. Leaving the default passwords is an open invitation for hackers to gain access since these original settings are publicly known and readily available. Update your computer operating systems and applications Manufacturers release security updates often and generally on a defined schedule. Configure your operating system to automatically update and install security

patches—it’s the equivalent of getting regular exercise for your systems. Common applications such as Adobe Reader and Java should be set to auto update as well. Install security software (antivirus/antimalware/ firewall) on all your computers You don’t have to break the bank with security suites as there are several free options available for small businesses online. Again make sure they are set with automatic updates. Keep personal and business systems separate Most people would think twice about letting their kids come to the office and play online games or browse Facebook as it can open you up to all kinds of security risks. Just because your office

may be the kitchen table to living room couch, doesn’t mean you should treat access to your computer systems or customer information differently. Wherever possible, try to keep business access and personal access separate. At the end of the day, it doesn’t require a big security budget or dedicated IT security team to keep you relatively secure. By following some simple steps you make it that much harder for cybercriminals. And remember, You don’t have to aim for perfect security, simply focus your security resources on not being an easy target.

Grimm tidings

“

The story you knew as a kid, but a bit naughtier.

Cameron Chase weaves and warps a trio of your favourite fairy tales from childhood into a burlesque show called Grimm Girls BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

submitted photo

Cinderella — played by Richmond’s Ranae Miller — is now a bitter divorcée with a shoe obsession in Grimm Girls, Cameron Chase’s burlesque adaptation of a trio of well-loved children’s tales.

he Brothers Grimm wouldn’t know quite what to make of this. But then, Cameron Chase isn’t really interested in rehashing yet another stale fairy tale. Grimm Girls, the third original burlesque show in four years from the Langley writer, hits the stage at the Performing Arts Lodge (PAL) theatre in Vancouver for three weekends in May. Geared once again to an adult audience, Grimm Girls weaves together a trio of well-known tales from childhood — Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella — and then gives them a saucy twist. “It’s the story you knew as a kid, but a bit naughtier,” explained the 24-year-old Walnut Grove Secondary graduate. “The whole thing revolves around the trial of the Evil Queen from the story of Snow White.” In this version, Red Riding Hood serves as Snow White’s lawyer, while the Big Bad Wolf represents the Queen. “So there’s some tension there. They’ve got some history,” Chase laughed. The case follows the basic storyline of the famous fairy tale, told in flashbacks through witness accounts from other characters. Even the Magic Mirror, gets to weigh in on the fairness of it all. Except — and here’s the fun part — the action is accompanied by song and dance, carried out in various states of undress. As Chase — who formerly wrote under the name Cameron Fatkin

— explained, it’s not so much that the stories have been turned on their heads, as turned on their sides and spanked. Cinderella, for example, is now a jaded divorcée who has an obsession with shoes. “Her ex-husband was really into shoes, if you know what I mean,” laughed Chase. Once again, the writer is shooting for an effect that brings humour to the subject in a manner that is more risqué than rude. “I don’t want people to feel like they’re watching something vulgar,” he said. “It’s not smutty. It’s about embracing sexuality, which is everywhere.” On the other hand... “If you’re not offending someone, you’re not doing it right,” he chuckled. Inspired by a trip to Sin City several years ago, Chase is attempting to once again blend Vegas-style burlesque with musical theatre. His first show, 2010’s Ruby Red, was based on the story of The Wizard of Oz. He followed that up with the Lost Girls of Neverland. Burlesque wasn’t something the Capilano University film grad had envisioned himself pursuing as a genre. “I’d done Ruby Red as a oneoff — I wanted to cross it off my bucket list,” he said. But people kept asking him when the next one was coming. With a cast of 18, and another dozen or so people working behind the scenes the load has lightened considerably since Chase’s first show. continued, PAGE 26

Happy’s sad story offers a chance to tell the ‘big truth’ Explaining death to a toddler is a tough conversation to have

appy died last week, leaving my husband, Jason, and me to contemplate whether our preschooler was ready for the big truth. What our dear three-anda-half year old daughter, Molly, doesn’t know is that her goldfish was actually Happy number two — the original kicked the bucket last summer and was flushed straight to fishy Heaven. “Distract Molly and I’ll run out to Petland and get another fish,” said Jason as we watched our baby’s lifeless pet go round and round the toilet bowl and disappear into the dark abyss. “Honey, I think it’s time to tell her,” I objected, already knowing his response. “Why upset her if we don’t have to? She’s too young to understand,” he said. Truth be told, I had another agenda. With my 91-year-old grandfather in the hospital — a man who both Molly and her two-and-a-half-year old sister, Zoe, have become quite fond of — I figured it was an opportunity to prepare her for one of life’s inevitable hard lessons.

Want to better tap in to your inherent creativity? ditch the electronics! and, get back to nature! a recent study looked at this effect by testing a group of young backpackers before heading out into the bush without their gadgets, then again, after four days of hiking. the test used was the remote associates test, used to assess creativity, and the participants did 50 per cent better on the second test. there are many causes of insomnia but some of the main ones are schedule issues (this can include jet lag), spending too much time in bed and over-stimulation. try to maintain a regular sleep/wake schedule – avoid late nights and sleeping in. if you don’t fall asleep within 30 minutes, get up and do something boring until you feel sleepy again and reduce technology in the hour before bed to "deactivate" and promote sleep. erectile dysfunction (ed) is not a popular topic of conversation, but its effect on wellbeing can be significant and its causes can be many.

Cast, crew pull Opera singer tops in talent contest double duty Miranda GaTHErCOLE Times Reporter

from PAGE 24

“Everyone’s pulling double duty. It’s so much easier having a team and feeling comfortable with them,” he said Chase wrote Grimm Girls and is producing the show, but this time he’s handed off directorial duties. They’re being shared by Michael Kovac (who is also acting in the show) and choreographer Dawn Euen. The cast, meanwhile, is made up of performers of all shapes and sizes — and none of them will be hiding their light under a bushel, so to speak. “Everyone is confident and comfortable in their own skin,” said Chase. As with his past productions, there’s plenty of skin being shown, and he’s hopeful people will take that into consideration when they decide to buy tickets. “I feel like it should be 18 and up,” he said. “People having a glass of wine or a beer while they watch in a laid-back environment. “It’s not for kids. It’s definitely not for kids. But it’s very funny and adults are going to like it.” PAL theatre is located on the eighth floor of the Performing Arts Lodge, at 581 Cardero St. in Vancouver. Grimm Girls will run May 10-12, 15-18 and 22-25. Shows start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20, available through brownpapertickets. com. There will also be a half-price “Shake What Your Mama Gave You” show on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 12.

But the mother of two blew away the judges at the 2013 Langley Has Talent finals on Saturday night from the moment she sang the first note of the opera piece O Mia Babbino Caro. The audience, too, was in a daze, with many giving her a standing ovation at the end of her piece. Culjat, 29, took home the winning title at the end of the night along with $2,500, a cover shoot with Impress magazine, four hours of recording time at Blue Frog Studios and a $1,000 Keepsake Photo promo package. “I feel honoured,” she said, while her family and coworkers from Milestones restaurant hugged her with congratulations. “I am truly touched, I don’t know how to describe it. It brings tears to my eyes.” Besides performing in musicals in high school, the only time Culjat ever sings is when her friends beg her to, she said. Growing up she was often discouraged from singing opera, even though it’s been

Kari Culjat blew the judges away with an opera piece to win the third annual Langley Has Talent competition. a passion of hers since she first saw the Phantom of the Opera when she was nineyears-old. “Younger people don’t appreciate it,” she said, “but now I can be myself.” Culjat is completely self taught with her voice and is influenced greatly by her mother, who also loves opera. “It comes naturally to me,” she said. “It just comes out that way. I don’t have to think about it, it just happens.” The judges of the evening — songwriter and producer Mitch Merrett, Miss

World Canada Tara Teng and Global News anchor Steve Darling — couldn’t believe the quality of her performance. “That was freaking amazing,” Teng exclaimed excitedly as soon as Culjat finished singing. “You need to be on a stage somewhere singing professionally,” Darling said. “I don’t think I ever stopped looking,” Merrett said, adding that he was sold throughout the whole performance by her vocals and the emotion portrayed in her eyes. In second place in the

competition came Aldergrove rock band Special Tease, who performed an original song Don’t Tell Me. They took home $1,500 and jewelry prizes. And the winner of third place, $1,000 and jewelry was singer Kaitlyn Santa Juana, who was back for a second try at the competition with her cover of Big White Room by Jessy J. In addition to the top three prizes, Kwantlen Polytechnic University gave out two $1,500 scholarships to performers Carla Marten, who sang an original Daddy’s Only Daughter, and Miranda Guimond, an instructor at Stage Coach Theatre company, who sang Who You Are/ 101 by Jessy J and Alicia Keys. Jolienne Moore from JL Model Talent Management also gave out an agency representation contract to nineyear-old dancer Dante Arias who “blew away” Moore with his energetic dance to Don’t Shoot (I’m a Man) by Devo. The Langley Has Talent competition was started as an initiative to raise funds and awareness to build a performing arts centre in Langley. For more information visit www.langleyhastalent.ca.

Blades, Cougars come calling for local pair Gary ahuja Times Sports

Most teachers probably frown upon distracted students sitting in their classroom with one eye on their smart phones. And that was exactly what Luke Gingras was doing Thursday morning. “I am pretty sure he did (know),” Gingras admitted about his teacher knowing the 15-year-old was sneaking peaks down at his phone during class, After all, Gingras attends Yale Secondary’s Hockey Academy in Abbotsford. And Thursday just happened to be the Western Hockey League’s annual bantam draft for players born in 1998. Gingras, who plays forward for the Langley AAA bantam Eagles, was chosen with the first pick of the fourth round, 100th overall, by the Saskatoon Blades. “It has always been a dream for me to play in the WHL (and this) is a stepping stone in my career and really an honour to get drafted,” he said. He is six-foot and 170 pounds. Going into the draft, Gingras was confident he would be selected, but wasn’t sure in which round.

Langley coach Scott Perry. “He is very physical and plays with a lot of intensity.” As for going to the Blades, he is happy since he knows a lot about the team from watching On the Edge: The Road to the Mastercard Memorial Cup, a Sportsnet TV program which followed the team over the course of the season. Saskatoon is hosting this year’s Memorial Cup. “That was really cool, so I saw most of them,” Gingras said. The roster also features Matt Revel, whom Gingras knows from the hockey academy. Gingras will spend the summer training and plans Dan KINVIG/Black Press on trying out for the B.C. Dennis Cholowski (left) and Luke Gingras were both selected in Major Midget Hockey the Western Hockey League’s annual bantam draft on Thursday. League next season.

“He is one of the most skilled defencemen in the draft,” said Todd Harkins, the Cougars’ B.C. Major Midget League scout, on the team’s website. “He’s got great vision, is a slick skater, and we are glad he was still around at this time.” Perry called Cholowski one of the best skaters he has ever coached, comparing his style to that of the Chicago Blackhawks’ Duncan Keith. “He controls the play (and) is a really smart defenceman. He doesn’t put himself in a lot of bad situations. He can jump up into the rush and give you everything; he really is an all-around defenceman.” Cholowski said he figured he would go around the 10th round and he knows his offensive prowess are what got him noticed. “I contribute in the offensive zone and have very elusive instincts,” he said. “And quick feet in the defensive zone and an active stick.” Cholowski also attends the Yale hockey academy and is aiming to land a spot in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League. He will spend the summer working on his skating and hitting the weight room in hopes of adding some muscle.

Cremation and a private family internment are planned at Kenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request. In lieu of flowers, donations to the BC Lung Association would be appreciated.

Passed away peacefully at Cedar Hills in Langley. Predeceased by her loving husband Stan in January of this year. Helen will be greatly missed by all her family and friends. Survived by her daughter Deborah (Duncan) and her three sons Max (Marla), Jay (Linda) and Kelly (Sheryl), 6 grandchildren Jacqui, Kevin, Fiona, Jordan, Stevie, Iain and 2 great-grandchildren Tyson and Chloe. Helen will be remembered by all for her loyalty to friends, her industriousness, love of horses and playing cards. She worked as a welder during WWII, raised calves on the farm, clerked at the Auto and Fraser Valley Auctions and at Fraser Downs Racetrack until she was 90. Helen was a big believer in giving back and supported multiple charities through donations and volunteering. Her favourite charities were the Variety Club and Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, a donation be made to one of those charities. It was Helenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request that no remembrance service be conducted and that her and Stanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ashes be spread near their old farm in Langley.
