Suspect nabbed 17 minutes after carjacking MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

A woman was violently carjacked by an aggressive man with a knife in the 5600 block of 200 Street on Saturday. At 7:25 p.m., Langley RCMP received a call from a concerned citizen who saw a woman being accosted by a man. He saw the woman drop her

car keys and her attacker picked them up, get in her car and flee the scene, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. A short time later, police were called by the victim of the carjacking. She told police a man, unknown to her, aggressively approached her with a pocket knife as she was getting into her car.

“He threatened her and demanded she hand over her keys, which she did,” said Marks. The victim provided police with a description of both the suspect and her vehicle, a blue 2008 Hyundai Accent. The suspect was last seen northbound on 200 Street. Five minutes later, a member of the Langley Core

Strong Langley presence in new cabinet Fassbender, Virk join veterans Coleman and Polak in Christy Clark government Four Liberal MLAs with strong connections to Langley heard their names called on Friday afternoon at a large event at the Vancouver Convention Centre, as Premier Christy Clark announced her new cabinet. It was part of a whirlwind of activity on the provincial scene. On Thursday, Clark announced she will run in a byelection in WestsideKelowna, as newly-elected MLA Ben Stewart is prepared to give up his seat. The four are part of a 20-member cabinet (including Clark) that was formally sworn in Monday at Government House in Victoria. Lieutenant-Governor Judith Guichon administered the oaths of office to the new ministers. Once again, Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman has been given plenty of responsibility within Clark’s government. Coleman, who chaired the BC Liberals’ election campaign, will continue to serve as deputy premier. He has also been appointed the province’s first-ever Minister of Natural Gas Development. He also holds onto his post as minister responsible for housing. However, Coleman has given up responsibility for gambling and liquor. He has overseen those two areas since his days as minister of public safety in the first Gordon Campbell adminis-

tration. Coleman has been an MLA since 1996. Finance Minister Mike de Jong will now be responsible for gaming, while Justice Minister Suzanne Anton will be responsible for liquor policy. Langley MLA Mary Polak, who has held numerous cabinet positions since first being elected in 2005, is B.C.’s new Minister of Environment. She take over from Terry Lake, who was named Minister of Health. Meanwhile, two prominent Langley figures who will leave their current jobs to serve their constituents in neighbouring Surrey, have also been appointed to cabinet. Surrey-Fleetwood MLA Peter Fassbender, who has announced he will step down as Langley City mayor in July, was named Minister of Education. Fassbender was a Langley school trustee in the 1970s. Surrey-Tynehead’s Amrik Virk, an inspector with the RCMP at the Langley detachment, becomes Minister of Advanced Education. Virk is a former board member of Kwantlen Polytechnic University. A third Surrey MLA, Stephanie Cadieux, who represents SurreyCloverdale, is contining in her role as Minister of Children and Family Development. Cadieux had formerly represented the Surrey-Panorama riding.

Dressed in plainclothes, sunglasses and a hat, Langley RCMP Cpl. Patrick Davies spent the better part of Friday relaying information about bad drivers, so awaiting police officers would be ready to pull them over and write them tickets. In all, Langley RCMP’s traffic section spent the shift handing out 102 tickets to high-risk drivers along Fraser Highway and Highway 10, and other locations. Tickets were mostly for cellphone use, however tickets were also issued for seatbelts, failing to display N or L signs, failing to produce drivers license, running yellow lights at intersection and improper turning, to name a few tickets. One driver was prohibited, one was given

a 90-day immediate roadside suspension for alcohol consumption, four sobriety tests were conducted, three failed and were given 24 hour suspensions and three cases where pot or other drugs were seized. This was a joint effort between Langley RCMP Traffic and Fraser Valley Integrated Road Safety Unit, with sponsorship from ICBC who launched their high-risk driving campaign last month. Driving is a complex task that requires your full attention. Tailgating, failing to yield or speeding may seem harmless, but they increase your risk of crashing, said Leanne Cassap, of ICBC roadside safety co-ordinator for Langley. “A driver’s action is a contributing factor in approximately 59 per cent of crashes that result in injuries in the Lower Mainland, on average,” she said.

Gun amnesty in Langley ‘Don’t come to us, we’ll come to you,’ say police Langley RCMP are hoping to help make the community a safer place by participating in a month long, province wide weapons amnesty. Throughout June, City and Township residents can voluntarily surrender unwanted or illegally owned firearms or ammunition. During the amnesty, weapons-related Criminal Code charges that might normally apply will not be recommended.

However, there is no amnesty for people who turn in weapons that have been used in the commission of a crime. People who own or have inherited a gun that may have potential historical significance and do not want to turn it in can visit the RCMP’s National website at www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf for information on: • Licensing and proper storage of such a weapon, and • The Canadian Firearms Program. Firearm owners planning to surrender weapons or ammunition must adhere to the following safety guidelines:

• Do not bring firearms or ammunition to Langley Detachment or any of the Community Police Stations. Instead, call 604-532-3200 to arrange for a police officer to come to your home. • Do not bring the firearms or ammunition to the door when the police officer arrives. Show the officer where the items are stored. Once they have been picked up, the weapons will be brought back to the detachment, properly accounted for, recorded and then destroyed. For more information on the BC Gun Amnesty and additional safety tips, visit www.bcgunamnesty.ca.

Federal boundaries likely to be tweaked

New federal riding boundaries, which caused controversy in Langley, are likely to be slightly changed. Langley MP Mark Warawa said Friday that the House of Commons Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs (PROC) adopted his proposal involving Langley’s electoral boundaries. The final word still goes to the Electoral Boundaries Commission, which will consider the committee’s recommendations within 30 days. The changes the committee agreed to on his recommendations are twofold. One involves the names of the two ridings which will be carved out of the existing Langley riding, which includes both the City and Township. The westernmost riding, which is attached to Cloverdale, Clayton and other parts of Surrey west as far as 144 Street, will be known as Cloverdale-West Langley. The commission had suggested that it be called Cloverdale-Langley. The other riding, which will consist of the rest of Langley and a portion of Abbotsford, will be called Langley-Aldergrove. The proposed name had been Fort Langley-Aldergrove, the same name as the provincial riding held by MLA Rich Coleman. Warawa’s other proposal is that the areas of Willoughby west of 208 Street, which had been suggested for inclusion in Cloverdale-West

Langley, remain in the LangleyAldergrove riding. The committee has agreed to this. “The riding will be a little larger than normal,” he said Monday. “This new proposal better reflects the interests of Langley and I hope that the Electoral Boundaries Commission will adopt it.” Warawa testified before the committee on March 5. The Langley-Aldergrove riding will include all of Langley Township, as well as a portion of Abbotsford from the Fraser River south along Bradner Road to Fraser Highway, and then east to Mount Lehman Road and south to the U.S. border. The Cloverdale-West Langley riding would add Langley City to the portion of Surrey it will contain. Warawa’s request was based on a redrawing of electoral boundaries that are closer to municipal boundaries. “Langley residents were very concerned when the Electoral Boundary Commission came out with their first proposal,” said Warawa. “I think that Langley will greatly benefit from these new changes. The new names and boundaries are logical and more consistent with the municipalities of Langley.” Warawa plans to run again in the Langley-Aldergrove riding. Former Surrey MLA Dave Hayer announced Monday that he plans to seek the Conservative nomination in Cloverdale-West Langley.

WE SAY

THEY SAY

Langley’s strong punch

MP leaves on principle

angley is punching well above its weight provincially, as the naming of four ministers with a strong connection to this community proves. All four have a great deal of skill and experience, and they will be put to the test almost immediately as the provincial government gets down to business. A legislative session is expected this summer. As predicted here last week, Rich Coleman will remain deputy premier and will be in charge of securing deals for LNG plants. The government is placing a great deal of stock in these plants, hoping that they will bring in enough revenue to pay down its debt. While that is a lofty goal, there is no doubt there is serious interest in at least some of these plants going ahead, and Coleman has already done a great deal of work on this front. Mary Polak moves from transportation to environment. This will be a critical ministry in the next few years, given the emphasis on LNG plants, the Site C dam and two oil pipeline projects that have caused a great deal of opposition. Polak takes over from Terry Lake, who has been a strong minister and has quite successfully straddled the gap between the need for economic development and the strong envoironmental concerns. Peter Fassbender becomes minister of education. He is the new MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood. Fassbender is being named to cabinet because he took a big gamble, running in a strong NDP seat, and has been one of the most vocal supporters of the premier. He is also well-known for getting things done. Long, long ago he was a school trustee, but his interests have been in other areas as a politician. He likely was given this job because he is a strong leader, and the premier is trying hard to usher in a period of labour peace in B.C. schools. It’s a tough assignment. Amrik Virk, who was an inspector with Langley RCMP, is another Surrey MLA with a Langley connection. He has been named minister of advanced education. He has served on the Kwantlen Polytechnic University board, so has experience in this area. During his campaign, he worked very closely with a large group of young people. He understands the importance of getting a good postsecondary education. The four cabinet ministers will be playing key roles in shaping B.C. for the next four years.

he news that Alberta MP Brent Rathgeber has decided to resign from the Conservative Party is the first bit of common sense emerging from the ivory towers of the Parliament Buildings in a long time. He isn’t the only MP to feel this way. Perhaps his exit might spur more elected officials to realize they are in Ottawa to speak on our behalf, not repeat written handouts by public relations types who are more interested in keeping their jobs than representing Canadians. His decision to sit as an independent proves he’s not out to make any grandstand move by symbolically walking across the floor and joining another political party. It’s nowhere near the audacity that David Emerson had when he left the Liberals for the Conservatives, less than two weeks after an election. That decision was based more on personal motives and advancing a political career than it was out of respect for Canadian voters. Rathgeber’s decision comes from listening to his constituents and the moral obligation he has, as an elected representative, to stand up for his riding first and foremost. When an MP, backbencher at that, stands up for what he believes and what he believes his party should be about, it’s bound to resonate. The fact that he didn’t accept the comfort of an opposing party says he’s also confident in the support his constituents have in his decision. Imagine that. A federal MP, in the ruling party, listening to the voters rather than the spin masters. The recent scandals surrounding our political system have driven our respect for it to an all-time low. Perhaps Rathgeber is the canary in the coal mine. Perhaps his standing up to the scripted response from the Prime Minister’s Office and the vetting of his comments is the start of something bigger. Will other elected officials dare to stand up to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his backroom buddies? —Trail Times The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Many opinions on dog’s difficulty HEADLINE MISLEADING

EMBARRASSED TO BE A CITY RESIDENT

Editor: The heading in the story (“Fined for having a service dog,” The Times, June 6) is misleading to readers. Sadly, the gentleman featured in the story does not have an official service dog. I have great sympathy for his predicament. A true service dog comes from organizations such as PADS, where they are raised from puppies and trained to be assistance dogs. I’m sure the dog concerned is good-natured and there won’t be a problem, but this is not always the case. Sometimes owners describe their dogs as service dogs, but these animals are not trained to be around crowds, children and strangers. Service dogs also wear coats or vests so that the general public know that these animals are helpers. I do think that the bylaw officer concerned could have used some common sense in this situation, and perhaps given a warning in this case. Please don’t confuse dogs who go through years of training with regular loyal household dogs. This could potentially be a problem if one were to bite a small child or snap at passersby. I wish the gentelman concerned well and hope that a solution can be found so that his dog can go out on a leash with him. L. A. Hogg, Langley

Editor: I have lived in the City of Langley for more than 40 years and this is the first time that I have been embarrassed to say that I live here. Times’ reporter Dan Ferguson’s report on the frankly stupid and heartless act of fining a resident for not leashing his service dog, and the subsequent statement by the City’s corporate officer that “she would have to see what the dog’s owner presented as proof that the dog is a service animal before she could accept it” is frankly beyond the pale. When exactly did common sense abandon city hall? When exactly did a sense of fairness abandon the highly-paid people we employ? When did this City become so heartless and detached from its community? This type of incident would not have happened in past years. The City has not grown a great deal, so what has changed? Why does a citizen of this community have to go to the media and the Human Rights Tribunal to seek redress for an incident that Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times should never have happened? Where is the Ed, a three-year-old Pomeranian apology that Kevin Steele so richly deserves who is a daily helper to Kevin Steele, from City staff and their elected employers. One can only hope that simple justice prewas the subject of a Langley City vails, that second thought still exists somebylaw ticket on May 13. where in the closets of city hall, and that this incident is only an isolated lapse of judgeACKING T ITY ALL ment. ter, when doing their required duties. This Let’s see if any of our elected officials pubdog is quiet and stays by his side. Loyalty licly step up to right this shameful situation. is a wonderful attribute. Try it some time. My guess is they won’t. I hope I am wrong. Bob and Lily Groulx, Don Woode, Langley City Langley City

COMPASSION IS SORELY L Editor: I am so disappointed at city hall’s attitude towards Kevin Steele and his dog Ed. What has happened to compassion? If you notice, many working dogs do not always have the lead with their mas-

A C

City needs to relax enforcement of dog leashing bylaw Editor: We have seen Kevin Steele and Ed several times. For a City bylaw officer to issue a ticket and threaten more to come is a sin to me and other City taxpayers. How many times have I seen two bylaw officers just strolling on City streets, enjoying the sun? I am positive this man’s dog Ed is important as a coping mechanism for him. This man should be exempt from tickets.

Outgoing Mayor Peter Fassbinder, as a last gift, can give him and his dog the relaxation of a foolish law, in this case. We take our dog daily to Langley Lodge. It helps to cheer up those old folks. They love him and it’s good for them. Our little friendly 20-pound dog offers no threat to anyone. Would anyone like to see Steele trip and fall? Has he not had enough grief in his life?

Relax the laws in this case, and I hope all City taxpayers will let city hall know some laws can be stretched. I would like to see this officer have a little compassion in this case. I use a scooter, and to tie an animal to a scooter is a danger, as it is possible to run into it. Tom Tonks Sr., Langley City

Let’s impose a host of new charges on seniors in care Editor: I see the Fraser Health Authority will be charging seniors in care homes for the use of a wheelchair. Well, it’s about time. These freeloaders have been living the good life at the expense of the rest of us taxpayers for too long. I hope the health authority rightly points out that it costs money for the upkeep of the wheelchairs. The

I hope this is just the first of many steps to make these seniors pay for their keep. Take bedsheets for example. They have to be washed. Surely there should be a fee for that as well. Blankets should be rented. Toilets need frequent maintenance. Make the toilets pay toilets. Toilet paper should be dispensed also on a pay-per-use basis. If individuals don’t wish to use their

hands to eat a meal, they should have to rent utensils. Visitors cause wear and tear on floors. Surely there should be a visiting fee to assist in upkeep. Staff time is valuable. Seniors should pay for interactions with staff. I have many other ideas as well. Barry Whaites, Langley

LEGAL GROW-OPS BIGGER PROBLEM Editor: While the grow-op operated by Jeromey James in Langley gained news coverage for its size and sophistication, it is the least of people’s concerns in Langley. Right now there are many legal grow-ops in Langley, in residential neighbourhoods. There is not much difference between legal grow-ops and illegal grow-ops. Legal grow-ops operate in the same clandestine manner as any other illegal grow-op, where growers exhaust the capacity of the electric supply in the neighbourhood creating a fire hazard, and aren’t following any building codes. They’re also susceptible to grow rips where organized crime breaks into the residence and take the plants by force. Legal pot growers are supposed to produce medicinal marijuana, but legal grow-ops differ from illegal grow-ops when the licensed grower exceeds his allowed quota and sells his surplus on the black market. But the biggest difference is that a legal grow-op has immunity to any warrant from law enforcement to search the property for any wrongdoing. The people of Langley understand the need for medicinal marijuana and they couldn’t care less if people use it recreationally, but the lack of oversight has us fearing for our safety, especially when organized crime gets the wrong address in a routine grow rip across the street from an elementary school.

Betty Gilbert Middle School in Aldergrove was locked down briefly at lunch time on Monday, after a young offender was seen entering the school grounds with a baseball bat. The lockdown was quickly

lifted after police found the young man. They were speaking with him, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks on Monday afternoon. Nobody was hurt in the incident.

In April, Betty Gilbert was locked down at the noon hour while the Abbotsford Police executed a drug search of a nearby home, where they believed weapons were present.

New wheelchair fees for care home seniors slammed

Fraser Health says new charge in line with provincial practice JEFF NAGEL Black Press

B.C.’s lone independent MLA says it’s “absolutely outrageous” that Fraser Health will charge seniors in residential care homes

a $25 monthly fee for the use of wheelchairs that until now have been provided for free. Vicki Huntington blew the whistle on the new charge Thursday shortly after one of her Delta

South constituents came into her office brandishing a notification letter from the health authority. “It’s just beyond the pale,” Huntington said, demanding health officials scrap the plan to begin charging the wheelchair rental fee Sept. 1 in publicly funded care homes.

“To make you pay for what is an essential component of your health care in your latter years is absolutely outrageous,” she said. “It’s like saying you have to rent your prosthetic leg from us on a monthly basis. It’s something that has to be reconsidered and reconsidered

immediately.” Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma called it a “nominal fee” for specialized custom wheelchairs that typically cost $1,000 to $3,500 and rent privately for $75 to $100. The fee will go to maintain the cushions and wheels,

and ensure the wheelchairs remain in good working order. Private care homes charge “much higher” amounts or require residents to purchase their own wheelchairs, Juma added. She said lowerincome care home residents who are exempted from MSP premiums or are on disability benefits are automatically exempt from the wheelchair fee and it can be waived in other cases where hardship is demonstrated. Similar fees are already charged at other B.C. health authorities and Vancouver Coastal confirmed a $25 fee will be charged at care homes in that health region as well. Fraser Health estimates 60 per cent of residential care home residents use wheelchairs provided by the facility. “The objective here is obviously not to cause residents any hardship, anxiety or stress,” Juma said. “It’s to bring Fraser Health into line with provincial policy.” The province’s Home and Community Care Policy Manual

was updated last October and indicates residents “may” be charged for wheelchairs and various other personal use items. Health ministry spokesman Ryan Jabs confirmed the fees are discretionary. “It was not really prescriptive but the understanding was that facilities would be charging a certain amount for wheelchairs,” he said. Huntington said it’s unacceptable, regardless of whether the province or Fraser Health is responsible. “If it’s a provincial policy the province ought to be absolutely ashamed of itself,” she said. “I hope Fraser Health reconsiders and I hope the province steps in.” Seniors in publicly funded care homes already pay 80 per cent of their net income to the facility, she said, and are left with a comfort fund of $200 a month for shampoo and other incidentals. “This $25 will come out of that,” Huntington said. “I just find the whole thing indicative of the way health is being managed at some of these facilities.”

You & The Law

PRESENTS When could a pay cut amount to job dismissal? in B.C., the relationship between you, as an employee, and your boss is basically one of contract, even though usually there’s no written employment contract. typically, you’re hired for a position to perform certain duties, and in return, you get a certain level of compensation and benefits. Often the intent is for the employment to be permanent, meaning it’s for an indefinite term. But what happens if, perhaps due to a bad economy or for other reasons, your employer decides to cut your compensation? must you live with that, or do you have other options? the question is often complicated by other factors. For example, there may also be a change in employment duties (which you might view as a demotion), or there may be bad blood between you and a new manager, etc. in such a case, the court will look at all the circumstances, sometimes called the “factual matrix,” and assess whether your employer has imposed (without reasonable notice to you) such a substantial change that it goes to the heart of the contractual relationship and amounts to a breach of a fundamental term of the contract. if so, and you don’t accept this fundamental breach of contract, you’re entitled to treat yourself as unjustly fired (or “constructively dismissed”) – and you’ll be entitled to financial compensation for your loss or damages. A 2009 case in the B.C. supreme Court dealt with this issue, shedding light on when a pay cut may amount to a constructive dismissal. ms. P sued a bank and its securities arm. she had 24 years experience in the financial services industry when she joined the bank at 43. Following a re-organization about a year later, she accepted a position at the bank’s securities arm as an investment adviser, where her compensation was partly commission-based (including trailer fees). But her employment relationship there deteriorated over time. ms. P

found herself in conflict with a new manager at the securities arm, and she complained of inadequate trailer fee payments and other issues. After going on disability, she ultimately refused to return to work when her demands for returning were not met, claiming she had been constructively dismissed. Her employer eventually paid her $2,000 in overdue trailer fees, but she calculated it should have been $6,000. the B.C. supreme Court decided on this point that any difference between her calculation of what she was owed and the bank’s calculation only came to about four per cent of her total compensation (her earnings had averaged about $100,000 annually). that alone wasn’t enough to make it a fundamental breach or constructive dismissal. neither did the other things ms. P claimed as reasons to justify her constructive dismissal claim. the court referred to other cases and observed that, in general, a pay cut of more than 20 per cent is ordinarily enough to allow an employee to treat himself or herself as fired and sue for constructive dismissal. But a pay cut of up to nine or 10 per cent isn’t usually enough on its own to be considered a fundamental breach. A pay cut of 14 to 17 per cent might or might not be, depending on the particular factual matrix. if your pay package is reduced, you should be mindful that, while a pay cut is an important factor, it’s only one of many factors a court will look at in assessing whether there’s been a fundamental breach amounting to constructive dismissal. seek legal advice if deciding how you should proceed.

Lawn sprinklers can only be run between 4 and 9 a.m. from June 1 to Sept. 30. Jackson asked at the May 24 Metro board meeting if the regulations also preclude running a sprinkler so kids can have backyard fun. She was told it does and violators could be fined $100.

Running back and forth through a water sprinkler on a hot summer afternoon is one of the great delights of childhood. But Delta Mayor Lois Jackson says Metro Vancouver appears to have inadvertently outlawed those merry moments of fun and frolic as part of the regional district’s ongoing drive to conserve water. Metro water sprinkling rules that took effect June 1 say lawns may only be watered between 4 and 9 a.m. on designated days, a measure planners say helps control peak water use and push back costly infrastructure upgrades. “When we were small we always had the sprinkler in the backyard,” Jackson said. “Neighbours would come over and play and shriek and laugh when it’s hot in the sprinkler. My kids did it.”

bylaw — local cities do — so local bylaw officers could show leniency. The Metro regulations allow early morning sprinkling for evennumbered homes on Mondays, Wednesdays or Saturdays and oddnumbered addresses on Tuesdays, Thursdays or Sundays. The restrictions don’t apply to watering flowers, vegetables, shrubs and trees. Metro recommends

lawns be watered no more than one hour a week. Jackson said she’s not sure it would be right for a municipality to order relaxed enforcement of the rules. Metro officials say morning-only sprinkling helps flatten spikes in water use during summer evenings, so lawn watering doesn’t also compete with uses like dishwashers, bathing and washing.

The Township of Langley is expanding the Water Wise conservation program that used to target specific neighbourhoods every summer. This year, every Township community will be visited as part of a door-to-door effort to discourage water waste. Over the next few months, Water Wise Team staff and volunteers will be leaving informational door hangers at single family homes and town home complexes. They can be identified by their program T-shirts and will carry identification at all times. Roughly half the water consumed by Langley Township residents comes from wells and the rest is piped in from the Coquitlam reservoir. “While we are fortunate to live in an area of water wealth, it has unfortunately caused our water source to be taken for granted,” said Water Wise’s Taryn Hesketh.

Kuhn named interim TWU president as Raymond steps aside

As Jonathan Raymond retires as president of Trinity Western University, an interim successor has been appointed. Bob Kuhn, a Trinity alumnus who graduated in 1972, has accepted the appointment of interim president, effective July 1. Raymond served as president for seven years. Students called him J-Ray: a nickname Raymond is proud of because it indicates a connection to campus life. Faculty and staff gathered at a luncheon to celebrate his dedicated service. Speakers described his devotion to the mission of the university, his outreach to the community and world at large, and his emphasis on infusing Christ-like values and reflection into the lives of students. During his tenure, Raymond put forth a strategic direction that sought to further strengthen TWU’s

educational vitality and emphasize the development of leaders of character and competence who would aspire to meet the world’s deepest needs through the pursuit of Christ’s truth, reconciliation, compassion and hope. Also during his leadership, the university established a faculty Senate and official student learning outcomes. Three new schools were launched including the School of Education; the School of Nursing, with its MSc in Nursing; and the School of Arts, Media, and Culture, with a BFA degree in Acting and BA in Corporate Communications. Innovative graduate courses were also launched including MBAs in Management of the Growing Enterprise, NonProfit & Charitable Organizations, and International Business; an MA in Leadership program in Beijing; a University Transitions program with the TWU

International College and an Executive MBA in Tianjin, China. And the university’s volleyball, basketball, and hockey teams moved into brand-new facilities at the Langley Events Centre. Raymond was intent on academic quality during his time as president. TWU achieved seven consecutive years of A+ grades for Quality of Teaching and Learning in The Globe and Mail Canadian Universities Report. As President Emeritus and Senior

Fellow of TWU, Raymond will continue to write on topics of Christian life and leadership and spiritual formation. He will also take on speaking engagements in North America and internationally under the banner of TWU. Kuhn is ready to take over. “I’m excited to play a bigger role in helping my alma mater at a time when higher education faces significant challenges. Trinity has played such a huge role in my life, I look forward

to giving something back” said Kuhn. “I’m honoured that the board of governors has entrusted me with the opportunity to speak into the life of the university, interacting with its faculty, staff, students, and alumni at this particularly important time.” A graduate of UBC School of Law and a practicing lawyer for 33 years, Kuhn is no stranger to leadership at Trinity Western. He served as student body president from 1971-72 and, in 2001, Kuhn led TWU’s legal

Fair Trade Coffee Day was held in partnership with Federated Co-op in about 65 of its co-op convenience stores and delis that have a Van Houtte Fair Trade coffee program in Alberta and British Columbia. The purpose of the day was to increase awareness of Fair Trade, and to raise extra funds to support a Fair Trade coffee growing co-operative project. For the Fair Trade Coffee Day, the coffee sold in those stores was donated by Van Houtte, and the participating Co-op locations contributed their profits.

Celebrating Over 90 Years in our Communities President’s Message:

Welcome to summer 2013, and the start of a new year for Otter Co-op. As I write this message, the sun is shining and that is something that hasn’t happened much in the past 2 weeks. Entering the main store, one can’t help but see the nice produce and flower display that says “You’re at home here”. It makes all of us proud to belong to such a great thriving community business. At our Annual General Meeting at the end of May, I Dorothy Anderson Board President was happy to announce that we surpassed last year’s total sales by over $12,000,000 with our year-end totaling just over $167,000,000. All it takes to become a member of Otter Co-op is a $10.00 purchase of a life-time membership. Last year we welcomed over 3600 new members. I would like to take this opportunity to thank retiring Director George Peles, for serving us so well on the Board for the last six years. George was our Finance Committee Chair and did a very fine job of keeping all of us up-todate on all financial issues. I would be remiss in not thanking our General Manager, Jack Nicholson; our Controller, Richard Bonneau; and our Board Secretary, Merilee McAuley, who all did such a great job at our Board meetings in keeping us up-to-date on Co-op happenings. At this time I would like to welcome two newly-elected Directors to the Board … Angie McDougall and Maria Pucek … and returning Director, John Watt. We have exciting times ahead. And to the staff, thank you for all that you do … the smiles, the customer service, and the just plain “You’re at home here” welcome, that comes across at each of our Co-op locations, whether it be the gas bar, hardware, feed store, or grocery store. Did you know that of our 273 employees, 83 have worked in the Co-op Retailing System for over 10 years? And to you, our members, (anyone can shop at the Co-op, whether a member or not), a huge thank you for making this past year a successful year. Also, to the Board of Directors who elected me as their President for the past year … a huge Thank You!! It was indeed an enjoyable year for me. To everyone, enjoy a safe and happy summer.

Not even the rain on Saturday put a damper on the 1st Annual Country Car Show held at Otter Co-op April 27 & 28. Otter Co-op was approached by Central Fraser Valley Chapter V.C.C.C. to put on a car show at Otter Co-op. What a great idea it turned out to be. There were approximately 127 collector cars in the Co-op parking lot over the two days. The event went over so well there will definitely be a 2nd Annual Car Show next year.

Also receiving a cheque for $500 was the Otter Staff Community Group.

With the recent announcement of the elimination of the penny, Otter Co-op staff member Derek Hammer thought it would be great to start a penny drive and donate all money received to the BC Children’s Hospital. Aproximately 400 pounds of pennies were gathered. The generosity of Otter Co-op customers, members and staff made this penny drive a great success, and Otter Co-op expresses a huge thank you to everyone that participated.

Thank You Otter Co-op!

So tastefully, and beautifully decorated by some who has knowledge of music, I suspect. And the size! Wow! Thanks. I was wondering if I needed to buy a backup cake, but yours was perfect. We only had a small amount left over. And the cake itself – It was moist and delicious. Everyone commented on it and asked where we got it. I was so happy to tell them it was from Langley’s own Otter Co-op. Thanks again for making our special event even more special. Phyllis Heppner, Past President, South Fraser RMTA

On behalf of our Europe 2014 group, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your willingness to support your community by allowing our school group to use your facilities on Sunday May 19, 2013 as a location to fundraise with car washes and hotdog sales. We’d have to say the event was a huge success which would not have been the case if it were not for the space, equipment and goods supplied by Otter Co-op and its staff. Your contributions resulted in the event running smoothly and effectively. We can’t thank you enough and look forward to additional fundraisers in the future. All our best to you and your staff, Glen Sallenbach, D.W. Poppy Europe 2014 Group Leader

Otter Co-op’s Operations

General Manager’s Message

Another fantastic fiscal year at Otter Co-op has come and gone, and we have also just held our 91st Annual General Meeting. At the meeting, members heard of the financial results achieved for our 2012 year, voted on four board member positions, and heard reports from board and management about the past year, as well as some plans for the future. And it was great to announce that members will share in 5% equity and cash back return on their purchases made at Otter last year! A huge thank you to everyone that was able to make it out to the meeting and show your support of the Co-op. For those Jack Nicholson that were unable to attend, here is a snapshot of my General Manager’s General Manager report: Otter Co-op partnered with dozens of groups, clubs, and most community efforts that were requested of us this past year. Last year Otter donated over $114,000; and that only accounts for the donations which we recorded. We are very proud of the support we are able to provide on behalf of our members back to the communities in which we operate. Today is an opportunity to celebrate a successful record breaking 2012 year end, in both sales and bottom line savings, and to look forward to the continued bright future of our co-operative. I’d like to thank you for your support, commitment and dedication to Otter over the past year. In today’s economic and social turbulence, we remained stable and growing. It is through the cooperation and dedication of our board, employee team, and members that has resulted in another record breaking year for our organization. Strong community support from our members grew Otter Co-op to record sales of $167,114,431; an increase of 7.9% over the previous year. And bottom line savings grew to $8,461,188; or 5.1% of sales. From that bottom line; the directors are recommending that $5.88 million of the savings be allocated back to you, our retail members. That is the value of our co-operation together, and is the result of the strength of Otter Co-op. Some division results include our food sales experiencing a 1.8% decrease from the previous year. Some of this decrease can be attributed to the lowering of our grocery pricing in a continued effort to remain competitive. Other factors include increased local competition with Walmart expanding their food offerings, and continued challenges with cross border shopping. Our pharmacy division experienced a nice increase in sales of 11.2% over the previous year. General merchandise, which includes our hardware and family fashions at the Retail Centre, as well as sales of Hardware at our Pitt Meadows location, realized a slight increase in overall sales of .7%. In feed, we ended the year with an increase in sales of 11.9%, and bulk petroleum sales increased 19.3%. As the price of fuel often drives the sales numbers, it is positive to note that our bulk petroleum division increased litres last year by 21.2%. And our gas bar division which includes our five gas bars located at Ladner, Surrey, 248th, Gloucester, and Ross Road; experienced a sales growth of 5.2% over the previous year, with overall litres increasing just over 3%. Our people worked hard to maximize the market opportunities presented. We made strides to improve efficiencies and processes throughout the organization, and our results were outstanding. A strong commitment to success and growth is evident from our board of directors, management team, and entire staff compliment, as the decisions and direction being planned and executed are not just for today, but to continue to take Otter Co-op well into the future. Being aware of the business challenges mandates us to make sure that our people and processes get BETTER, as the status quo is a sure recipe for falling behind. The marketplace in which we operate continues to change, and our retail needs to continue to adapt and respond accordingly, so we continue to build on our strong past. Otter will continue to move forward to improve our assets, grow sales and services, and return our earnings back to the communities in which we live, work and play. We as a team continue to grow our business, and improve our ability to give our members cash and equity, as well as set aside funds for the upgrading, replacement, and future development of Otter Co-op facilities and rolling stock. The membership continues to directly benefit from these results, as we continue to give back a portion of our earnings to members through equity and cash back, as well as through the more than $114,000 we gave in donations to our communities. In order to effectively compete in today’s rapidly changing marketplace, we must continue to plan for the future. Every year the expectations of our membership increases. We need to determine what is essential, affordable, and providing a return to our over 36,000 active members, and then set priorities for the prosperity of Otter Co-op. The reality is about continuing on a track record of fiscal responsibility balanced with sound marketing objectives, to ensure that we have continuous development and growth of our Co-op. Although we didn’t open any new sites in 2012, we continued with a plan to upgrade our 248th gas bar and cardlock location, continued with plans for a new gas bar and convenience store on Highway 11 between Abbotsford and Mission, and developed and finalized plans for the construction of a gas bar, convenience store, cardlock, bulk plant, oil warehouse and office in Chilliwack that we hope to begin construction of this summer. This project is expected to create additional sales for Otter Co-op in excess of $35 million per year. We also completed the purchase of a feed mill in Armstrong in March of this year, which will increase feed sales by an estimated $10 million per year, which fits in very well with Otter Co-op being a provincial feed supplier and wholesaler. Again, this was a record year for Otter Co-op, and I am extremely proud of the job accomplished by all involved. It is especially rewarding to know that our loyal team including board, management, staff and members remain the key in making Otter Co-op the growing, diverse, viable business it is today. We could not have done it without all of your dedication and loyalty. I sincerely thank you all for making the year such a success, and we continue to look forward to the challenges and opportunities for the future. For the entire report, you can view it online at www.ottercoop.com Thank you, and continue shopping Otter Co-op and reaping the rewards of membership!

Musical milestone Langley opera singer Katie Miller will represent B.C. in Waterloo this summer at the Kiwanis Music Festival BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

s Katie Miller prepares to step onto the national stage — 4,400 km away from Langley — the singer is hoping to carry with her a bit of hometown support. The 22-year-old UBC opera student will represent British Columbia this August, when the 2013 Kiwanis National Music Festival takes place in Waterloo, Ont. Following her victories at both the regional and provincial Kiwanis competitions, held in Langley and Chilliwack respectively, Miller — one of five musicians from B.C. who earned a spot in the competition — is looking toward a national title in classical voice. As a competitor in the classical voice category, Miller will be required to sing three selections — an aria, a song cycle (a series of short songs meant to be sung together) and a sacred work, taking on competitors from coast to coast. However, before that can happen, she hopes to raise $1,200 — the amount of money she expects she will need to cover her expenses. Accommodation and meals at the university dorm, where all competitors are required to stay, will cost $400 for the Aug. 6-11 visit. And Miller expects to spend another $800 on a return flight. She must also cover the cost of hiring a pianist to accompany her. Her plan is to approach local businesses looking for sponsorship. But preparations for this summer’s competition began long before Miller learned she would be performing in Waterloo. In fact, the singer’s musical journey began before she entered elementary school. Beginning with piano lessons at age four, she went on to learn the ukulele, eventually earning a spot in the Langley Ukulele Ensemble, where she played and sang for nine years. She was also a member of the Langley Children’s Chorus for a time. After graduating from Langley Secondary School in 2008, Miller began studying piano at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Langley campus. But she also took the opportunity to

develop her own instrument. “Because I had sung in choirs, I took a minor in voice studies,” she explained. By the time Miller had earned her diploma and applied to UBC in 2010, she had to make a choice between the piano keys and her voice. “I thought about how I would make a living. “As much as I love piano, I feel more confident singing,” she said. “I’m still young, so it was not so much business as a personal decision. What am I more inclined to do? “After one year at UBC I realized I had made a good decision.” Being part of the opera program has provided the young singer with some wonderful opportunities — including singing with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra at the Orpheum Theatre. “That was through (UBC opera director) Nancy Hermiston,” said Miller. Now that Miller has completed her bachelor of music in opera performance, she will begin studying for her master’s — again, at UBC — this September. Unlike fellow Langley opera singer and UBC alumnus, Rhoslyn Jones, who moved to the U.S., Miller will likely look to Europe once her schooling is complete. For one thing, she said, there is more opportunity on the other side of the Atlantic. “Opera and performing arts are more a part of their culture (than in North America),” said Miller. And the move will allow the singer to develop her foreign language skills. “I’ve always been interested in languages, and opera and language are linked,” she said, noting the vast majority of operas have been written in German, Italian or French. “I would like to be able to work in German, French and/or Spanish speaking countries and I have always had a personal fascination with those three languages. “I believe that the ability to speak multiple languages is a big employment enhancer, for any job, but especially for a career as an international opera singer.” Anyone who is interested in sponsoring Miller’s trip to the Ontario competition may contact her at 604-533-7798 or by email at katiemiller52@hotmail.com.

You’ll get answers to your questions and avoid potential problems even before you get started on your next project. “People on the West Coast are afraid to use tile outside,” said Hal Wilkinson, owner of Wilkinson Tile & Stone, who has helped countless customers from all over the Fraser Valley and beyond to make their outdoor dreams a reality. “As long as you understand the preparation and

Cutting art down to size Dalton Ghetti works on a far smaller scale than most sculptors BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

For most artists, pencils are simply a tool â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a means to an end. But American artist Dalton Ghetti has turned the writing implements into an end, in and of themselves. Ghetti will be in Fort Langley on Wednesday to talk about his unusual and rather painstaking approach to three-dimensional art. The sculptor, who carves intricate designs, using only the wood and graphite of standard yellow pencils, will be at the Pencil Studio in Bedford Landing from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. on June 12, discussing his work and answering any questions his audience might have. And his host expects there will be more than a few. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When people really look at his work, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a ton of questions,â&#x20AC;? said Pat Barker, who invited Ghetti to visit her Fort Langley studio-gallery. The Brazil-born artist who now lives in Bridgeport, Conn., creates his miniature masterpieces on the tips of pencils, generally using only a sewing needle, a razor blade, a sculpting knife and a carpenterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 2 pencil. He has been creating the miniature sculptures for more than 25 years, but because pencil carving is a hobby, it can take the artist months, or even years, to complete some of his pieces. A particular series of carvings, in which

Ghetti completed each letter of the alphabet using the tips of 26 pencils, took him more than two years to complete. The Fort Langley artist who has dedicated her entire gallery to the humble pencil, is thrilled to be coming face-to-face with the artist whose prints she carries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really looking forward to meeting him. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only spoken to him on the phone,â&#x20AC;? said Barker. The intricacy of Ghettiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially in light of the scale in which he works â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is astounding to the Langley pencil artist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty intriguing to see how small some pieces are and how long they take.â&#x20AC;? One piece in particular â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pictured above â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in which Ghetti appears to have linked two pencils with a tiny chain, is especially mind boggling to Barker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even wrap my brain around how he did that,â&#x20AC;? she said. To reserve a seat for Ghettiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation, email Barker at barkerpat@hotmail.com or call the studio at 604-888-0721.

After winning their first three games of the Western Lacrosse Association season, the Langley Thunder have hit a rough spot, dropping their last two contests. The most recent was a 9-8 loss to the Burnaby Lakers last week (June 5) at the Langley Events Centre. Burnaby led 3-0 after the first period and the Thunder could not

overcome that deficit. Alex Turner (four goals, two assists), Shayne Jackson (one goal, four assists) and Athan Iannucci (one goal, three assists) led the Langley offence. The Thunder host Nanaimo tomorrow (Wednesday) at the Langley Events Centre. Game time is 7 p.m.

Tyler O’Neill has long been a fan of the Seattle Mariners, and apparently the Maple Ridge slugger got their attention too. On Friday morning, the Major League Baseball club made O’Neill their thirdround pick in the 2013 draft, choosing him 85th overall. He was the second Canadian selected. “You’ve got to be excited,” said O’Neill. “I grew up with them being my number one team. My family would drive down a couple times per year to see the Mariners. “Now I want to be a player who makes other kids want to come to the ball park and fall in love with the game.” O’Neill is a Langley Blaze power hitter who has terrorized pitchers in the Premier Baseball League. He is currently a triple crown threat, hitting

.576 with six home runs, and has run away with the RBI lead with 47 in only 57 at-bats. That follows up a first season where he was the rookie of the year and the league’s offensive MVP. He has drawn comparisons to Toronto Blue Jays third-baseman Brett Lawrie. “The unique thing about the Canadian team is they play in Florida and Arizona and play against the Class A, [Class A Advanced] and sometimes Double-A prospects,” said Tom McNamara, the Mariners’ scouting director, on the team’s website. “You’re seeing 17and 18-year-old’s get up against stuff that they’re probably not going to see here in the spring against high school pitchers. So we saw him really handle some really good pitchers, older guys that didn’t care who he was — they went right

after him and it was really good to see.” According to the website, they are projecting to play him as a right-fielder. O’Neill’s agent called him at 7:30 a.m. on Friday morning, to talk with him about the Mariners, and their intention to take him in the third round. O’Neill said his agent liked the deal the

Cratty drives in four as Blaze pound Chiefs 12-5 Mason Cratty drove in four runs and scored twice as the Langley Blaze offence got back on track by potting a dozen runs. The U18 baseball team — which was held to a single run in their previous game — reverted back to form with a 12-5 win over the Whalley Chiefs last week ( June 6) at McLeod Park. The Blaze, who lead the B.C. Premier Baseball League with a 28-6 record , are averaging more than nine runs per game.

After the Chiefs scored one run in the top of the first inning, Langley responded with four in the bottom half to take a short-lived lead as Whalley came back with three more in the second. Langley would answer with two runs in their half of the second and never looked back, scoring two more in the fourth and four more in the sixth. The Chiefs managed just one more run in the fifth inning. Braeden Bouchey earned the win after tossing two and

one thirds innings, He allowed four runs — but only one earned — while striking out three. Mitchell Robinson drove in a pair of runs with a 4-for-4 effort at the plate, which included a pair of doubles. He also scored four times. Nick Rutckyj, Griffin Andreychuk, Mike Dagg, Mason Verge and Luke Horanski brought home one runner apiece. ••••• The Langley Junior Blaze

earned a doubleheader split on Saturday in Victoria. The U16 baseball team pounded the host Victoria Mariners 13-2 in the opener at Henderson Park before Victoria turned the tables and won the rematch 4-0. Langley leads the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League with a 20-3 record. The first game saw the Blaze score four runs in the first inning and then seal the deal with an eight-run seventh inning.

Ryan Lipsombe and Thomas Sloan drove in two runs apiece while five other players had one RBI each. Nick Evans improved to 7-0, coming within one out of a complete game. The second game saw the Blaze strand four base runners as they were shutout 4-0. It marked the first time Langley failed to score a run. The Blaze host the Coquitlam Redlegs tomorrow (Wednesday) at McLeod Park. Game time is 6:30 p.m.

Golden time for bantam Thunder in North Okanagan

Record amount for TWU tourney Annual event has raised $3.7 million in 19 years

The event raised $692,545 for student-athlete scholarships and scholarship endowments. It was the fourth consecutive year the tournament broke the half million dollar mark and topped last year’s $660,000 raised. “It has been an unbelievable team effort and a blessing to see this tournament grow over the last 19 years,” said Steve Scholz, TWU’s tournament advisor, thanking all of

It was a record-setting day as Trinity Western University held its 19th annual WirelessWave Golf Tournament. It was held on June 6 at Coquitlam’s Westwood Plateau and featured NFL legends Terrell Davis, Eric Dickerson and Marshall Faulk as the celebrity guests.

the tournament’s corporate sponsors and donors. “It is a real privilege to be a part of something that directly impacts students’ lives and helps develop our leaders of tomorrow.” The first time it was held, $30,000 was raised. And that total has risen to $3,720,000. CTV’s Brian Williams was the evening’s master of ceremonies while Vancouver Whitecaps FC coach Martin Rennie and Cactus Club Cafe’s Rob Feenie were also special guests.

A controversial call that could have easily sunk the Langley Thunder bantam B2 lacrosse team in the championship final on Sunday. But instead, it galvanized the Thunder players, who dominated the third period, scoring a 10-6 victory in the gold-medal game over the host North Okanagan bantam B1 team in the finals of the North Okanagan Rock the House Tournament. Goaltender Jaxon Hendrickson was ejected early in the second

period after his gloves were deemed to be illegal. Ryan Taylor, who had never played goal before, stepped in admirably and backstopped the team to victory. He earned game MVP honours for the Thunder. The team went a perfect 3-0 in the round robin — beating a pair of North Okanagan squads and another team from Kelowna — to advance straight to the finals. Jordan Daniel, Trevayne Hunter and Raachel Beaulieu earned game MVP awards.

Build a Better Burger There are literally countless ways to create a great burger and you don’t have to just stick with the traditional beef burger. Burgers can be made from of ground beef, pork, lamb, sausage, turkey, veggies or just about any combination of those ingredients. Sometimes they are stuffed with garlic, cheese, spices, peppers, or just anything small enough to fit inside. Ingredients can be mixed right into the ground meat to add additional flavor or to bind the ingredients together; eggs, bread crumbs, cream, onions, mushrooms etc. but regardless of what is put inside or on top, for me, the most important thing is the way it starts. And at my house we start with beef. Buying ground beef is another great example of when you want to know your butcher. I like to have my beef freshly ground for me and if yyou shopp at a reputable butcher shop, p p, they e will be very happy to customize just ey about o any blend you like. As, I am sure you out

have heard before FAT = FLAVOR. Well, it’s true! The leaner the burger mix, the higher the probability of creating a dry burger. But, cooking time & temperature plays into this as well. When I am able to have the beef ground fresh, I generally like a combination of chuck or sirloin, you can cook it as you would a steak to your personal liking, medium or even medium rare. Now I wouldn’t necessarily recommend cooking pre-packaged ground beef below medium well since you have no idea what the contents are and when it was ground. Like I said…make friends with your butcher! The best way to avoid a dry burger is to understand the fat content in your meat. I like to cook with about 20-25% fat in the mix, in my opinion that makes a super juice burger g and much of the fat will render off

Prescription Compounding

while it’s cooking adding a ton of extra flavor. When you buy pre-ground meat at the store, here is how it breaks down… Extra-lean: a maximum fat content Of 10% (this just screams DRY burgers – stay away!) Lean: a maximum fat content of 17% (can be done but be careful not to overcook it!) Medium: a maximum fat content of 23% (reasonable amount of fat to make a well cooked burger delicious) Regular: a maximum fat content of 30% (might be a bit on the greasy side?) When you get it ground fresh at your butchers, he can customize your blend and even grind some bacon into the mix for another layer of flavor. Yes, I said ground bacon. You’re welcome. Now go! Find a butcher and make friends.

Angie’s Basic Award Winning Burger

- 3 lbs. ground sirloin/ chuck with about 23% fat - ½ cup of BBQ Sauce (I like “4 Men & A Pig”) - 3 tbsp. BBQ Rub (I like Big Poppa’s Double Secret Steak Spice)
