Langley is as ready as it can be, with all full-time and oncall firefighters trained in case a major train derailment took place here carrying dangerous, flammable goods. “We do some training with a conglomerate of rail companies,” said Bruce Ferguson, Township assistant fire chief. “They bring in a tank car and show us what to watch out for, what to be aware of.” But the Township fire department has dealt with at least two derailments before so they have the experience, said Ferguson. The most recent derailment took place Dec. 23, 2002, when a freight train derailed along Glover Road in Milner, at Smith Crescent. A gravel truck tried to beat the train at the crossing, which did not have lights and crossing gates, and the train clipped it, sending one car towards Glover and others stacking onto each other. It also took down power lines. One engine was destroyed in the wreck. An explosive train derailment in downtown Lac-Megantic, Que., on Saturday, raises the question in places like Langley, where rail traffic passes through

busy intersections of town all day, including 200 Street, Fraser Highway and the Langley Bypass. In Quebec, the train was carrying 72 tank cars of crude oil. The derailment caused a massive explosion that, as of Monday afternoon, had killed 13. More than 50 others remain missing. It forced more than 2,000 out of their homes, and levelled at least 30 buildings in the downtown area. In Langley, crude oil isn’t being transported through Langley City or along Glover Road and Langley Bypass, on the Canadian Pacific tracks, but a small amount of it does pass through the Fort Langley CN line from time to time. On Feb. 15, 1986, a CN Rail freight train carrying liquid chemicals derailed just east of Fort Langley north of River Road, resulting in a 247,500 litre spill of ethylene dichloride and 60,000 litres of sodium hydroxide. Within a few hours, the spilled chemical had seeped into the ground. The spill is still being cleaned up today, and cleanup will continue for many years to come. “In that situation, the weather was in our favour,” said Ferguson. The derailment took place in winter. “The ignition point of those explosive fluids is 56 degrees Fahrenheit, and it was 46 degrees that day.”

Heritage minister gives boost to local history BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

There are only four provinces in Canada — and B.C. is not one of them — where students are required to complete a history course in order to graduate from high school. James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, shared that piece of information during a stop in Fort Langley on Friday morning. The bedrock of Canada is a shared knowledge of the nation’s history and heritage among its citizens, continued Moore as he announced more than $12 million in federal funding over the next two years for Young Canada Works — Heritage Programs. By topping up salaries paid to students — and recent graduates — between 15 and 30 years old, the program is expected to create 2,500 summer and short-term jobs, including 1,900 in small and medium-sized museums, including Langley Centennial Museum, where Moore made the announcement during what has been dubbed the first Canada History Week. While Moore spent the week — which is being modeled on November’s annual Veterans’ Week — visiting historic sites across the country, including Pier 21 (where Can-

ada’s national museum of immigration is located) and the Citadel National Historic Site in Halifax, he noted that it is smaller museums like Langley’s which tell unique, local stories. Moore followed the announcement with a tour of the nearby Fort Langley National Historic Site, with Langley MP Mark Warawa. In researching his own family history, Moore, who represents the riding of Port Moody-Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam, discovered that his great-grandfather is buried in Fort Langley. As the country approaches its 150th birthday in 2017, young Canadians need to know the story of John A. MacDonald’s national dream and the legacy of Terry Fox, as well as their own local and personal history, said Moore. The YWC money offers students, who are “largely not taught history in classrooms,” a chance at a hands-on education, he said. “We need to protect our history. It’s a great jewel.” Museums are the ideal place to do just Contributed photo that, said Peter Tulumello, the LCM’s cul- Langley MP Mark Warawa and Heritage Minister James Moore tour Fort Langley tural services manager, as he expressed National Historic Park Friday, after a funding announcement for local museums. thanks for the program funding. “Museums today are not just a storefunding has allowed LCM to develop new The museum’s Arts and Heritage Curahouse of dusty old relics,” he said. programs, mount exhibits and document tor, Kobi Christian, got her start through Over the years the Young Canada Works its own collection of historic local artifacts. the YCW program.

Gangsters plead guilty to conspiracy VIKKI HOPES Black Press

Five UN gangsters have pleaded guilty to conspiring to kill the Bacon brothers in 2008 and 2009. Barzan Tilli-Choli, Karwan Ahmet Saed, Ion Kroitoru, Yong Sung John Lee and Dilun Heng entered the pleas on Monday in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver. Sentencing will take place at a later date. The five had also been charged with the first-degree murder of Langley’s Jonathan Barber, who was gunned down in May 2008 in Burnaby, while driving Jamie Bacon’s vehicle to have some stereo equipment installed, and the attempted murder of Barber’s girlfriend Vicky King, who was following in a separate vehicle. Those charges are being stayed by the Crown. At the time of the conspiracy, the UN Gang and the Red Scorpions — to which the Bacons were aligned — were embroiled in a war for control of the Fraser Valley drug trade. The five were among eight people charged in January 2011 with conspiring

to kill the Bacon brothers — Jamie, Jarrod and Jonathan — in the period from Jan. 1, 2008 to Feb. 17, 2009. Co-accused Conor D’Monte and Cory Vallee have been at large since the charges were announced. Both are also wanted in connection with the Feb. 6, 2009 murder of Red Scorpion Kevin Leclair at a Walnut Grove shopping mall. Dan Russell had his case severed from the others and pleaded guilty in April of this year to the conspiracy charges and to manslaughter in Barber’s death. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison. Tilli-Choli is also facing charges in a drive-by shooting of Tyler Willock of Langley, which took place in February, 2009 in Surrey. Willock was injured, and later badly beaten by Albert Jackman, who is now in jail after being found guilty of that assault and the murder of Aldergrove resident Kyle Barber on March 28, 2009. During the period of the conspiracy charges, the Bacons were living in Abbotsford. In May 2008, the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) warned the public that anyone associating with the Bacon

brothers was putting their life at risk. In October of that year, the APD installed video surveillance cameras in the Bacons’ neighbourhood in east Abbotsford. On Jan. 20, 2009, Jamie Bacon was shot at numerous times in broad daylight at the busy intersection of South Fraser Way and Sumas Way. He fled in a black Mercedes SL55 and slammed into a stone stairway at the Keg restaurant on West Railway Street, but was not injured. Jamie is currently in prison, serving a seven-year term on weapons offences while awaiting trail in the Surrey Six murders. Jarrod is also in prison, serving a 12-year sentence on conspiracy to traffic cocaine. He has appealed that sentence, seeking a lighter term. The Crown has also appealed, saying the term should be longer. Jonathan was killed in a drive-by shooting in Kelowna in August 2011. Three people have been charged with this murder, but a trial date has not yet been set. — with files from Monique Tamminga

Aldergrove man killed in tubing mishap An Aldergrove man was killed in a tubing incident on the Puntledge River, near Cumberland on Vancouver Island, last Wednesday. The BC Coroners Service has identified the man who died as 42-year-old William Frank (Bill) Havill. Havill was tubing with friends when he became separated from his tube. His friends found him a few minutes later, and attempted CPR while awaiting rescue. The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate the death.

Vandals ruin Walnut Grove students’ mural MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

It only took minutes for vandals to ruin what took Walnut Grove Secondary art students months to create. A mural that stretches the length of the railing of West Mundy Creek was

only in place for six days, before vandals tore it off. “I was alerted about it from a friend who lives in a complex right behind the footbridge. She found a piece of it in their courtyard. It had been tossed there,” said Kathy Masse, of the Yorkson Watershed

Stewardship Committee. Her volunteer group partnered with WGSS art students and the Township’s Langley Environmental Partners Society to have the artistic wrap put on the bridge. The mural was unveiled on June 27. It is a tribute to the

ecosystem surrounding and beneath that bridge, with a heavy focus on the salmon. “You can see that someone ripped it down using an Exacto knife,” Masse said. The company that created the original digital plastic mural wrap, Artistic Design, got word of

the vandalism and has offered to reprint it for free, this time providing a more durable, high gloss finish. “We are very interested in getting it back on again,” said Lisa Dreves, Langley Environmental Partners Society’s stewardship co-ordinator.

FREE sunglasses!

“Hopefully, this time around, there will be a little more respect for it.” The Township parks and maintenance department is currently looking into having to paint over the galvanized surface first. A date when the mural will be replaced isn’t known yet. The project was actually the

idea of a popular WGSS teacher Susan Kovach, who died of brain cancer nearly nine years ago. The project was followed up on by other teachers, and with the help of the Township and Yorkson Watershed committee, it was completed. Kovach’s mother and sister were at the unveiling. See letter, page 9.

Dangerous chemicals move through region by railway from PAGE 1

Train loads of crude oil aren’t yet rolling through Metro Vancouver for export, but there’s growing speculation that could come, particularly if proposed new pipelines are rejected. Small amounts of crude have come by truck or train to Chevron’s Burnaby refinery at times when it was unable to get enough supply from the over-subscribed Trans Mountain pipeline. A significant amount of propane is moved by rail, and in Langley it moves along the CN line. Other chemicals that move on rail in this region include chlorine, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, which spilled from CN rail cars into the Cheakamus River in 2005, killing

half a million fish. Langley City fire chief Rory Thompson said dangerous and hazardous chemicals being transported on trains is on their radar and has been incorporated into both Langleys’ Emergency Planning Program, with a planned response. “Our firefighters have been trained in rail car safety and we are getting tank car safety training in September or October,” he said. While he calls the explosion from the train derailment in Quebec “unique and devastating,” he said, trains carry some chemicals of concern, mainly propane, which is heavier than air and dissipates slowly. — With files from Jeff Nagel, Black Press

Wally MARTIN/submitted photos

A train advertising fireworks passed through Langley in March, 2013. The safety of rail transport is top of mind for Canadians after an explosion in Quebec on Saturday killed at least 13 people and left as many as 50 others missing.

Every fire hall in the Township was called out to help extinguish a 15-acre hay field that went up in flames in Fort Langley on Saturday. A farmer on his Rawlison Crescent/Hudson Bay Street farm was baling hay on his field when it’s believed his baler malfunctioned and became overheated, catching the dry grass on fire around 11:30 a.m. Because of the dry conditions, the fire quickly spread, with white smoke filling the air around Fort Langley. “There is about 20 acres there and three-quar ters burned,” said Bruce Ferguson, assistant

But Ferguson said lookie-loos who decided to drive up onto the fields to get a closer look put themselves in danger. “They could have easily been caught up in it or their vehicles’ own catalytic converters could have set more hay on fire,” said Ferguson.

Time to get up close and personal Public invited to come out and meet B.C.’s rescued animals this weekend MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

They’re wild, woolly and down-right adorable — and for two days only each year, the public is invited to come get up close and personal with B.C.’s rescued baby animals. This year it happens on Saturday and Sunday, July 13 and 14. Critter Care Rehabilitation Centre, at 481 216 St., in Campbell Valley Park, will open its gate from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days, offering tours to meet baby raccoons, sea otter pups, Bambilike fawns, skunks and more. This year’s open houses, run completely by volunteers, will be done with heavy hearts. On June 27, Critter Care’s ambassador Hoover, the bobcat, who is a highlight to see on the tours, died of aggressive cancer. She was 12 years old, and was hand-raised by Critter

Angela FONTANA/Critter Care

Critter Care intern Elizabeth Clark has her hands full with what has been one of the largest influxes of orphaned or injured fawns the Langley wildlife centre has seen. Care founder Gail Martin, who took her in at eight weeks old, malnourished and dying. Unlike every other animal that comes to the five-acre property, she could not be rehabilitated to the wild. Martin is urging people to come and enjoy all the fun in what is turning out to be their busiest years of taking in injured or

orphaned wildlife. “We are way up in the number of animals we have taken in. We took in 301 animals just in the month of June alone,” said Martin. With so much land being developed there just is nowhere left for these animals to live, she said. They have 10 fawns to date. The cost to feed and provide formula

is going to be through the roof this year. “It’s a worry,”said Martin. “But my knees are already shot from begging. I had an MRI done on them yesterday, and I don’t think I can anymore,” she half-joked. The centre, which sees up to 1,000 native wild animals each year, is run on donations and some government grant money, but very little. Three weeks ago they released five bears back to the wild. Volunteers come from around the world, stay on-site to help care for these animals. The open house will also have plenty of entertainment, including the West Coast Thunder Drill Team, RCMP officers, fire truck from Hall 5, games for the kids including bouncy castle and dunk tank, crafters and barbecue when you get hungry. New this year, will be four wooden deck chairs hand-painted by local artists up for auction. There is plenty of parking and it’s $2 to get in, free for kids. Donations of toilet paper, paper towels and blankets are always appreciated. Note: register for a tour the minute you get there to make sure you get in.

Hazards around us

More information is needed

here are far more questions than answers about the horrific train derailment and subsequent explosions that destroyed part of the downtown of historic Lac Megantic, Quebec early Saturday morning. It is quite likely that the death toll will be close to 50 people, as 13 are officially dead and close to 40 are missing. They had little chance, with a 72-car unmanned train of tankers filled with crude oil piling up and quickly turning into a fireball, just metres from where they worked or slept. This tragedy is causing people all across Canada to think more closely about the trainloads of goods that pass by their homes and businesses every day. Here in Langley, there are two very busy rail lines. Both pass through heavily-populated areas, and transport a wide variety of goods, including hazardous chemicals, explosives, refined petroleum products, coal and yes, even crude oil. One line, owned by Canadian Pacific, goes through the heart of Langley City. It is home to at least 20 trains a day, mostly coal and container trains. The container trains carry a wide variety of goods, including container tanks that are used for a variety of hazardous goods. One recent container train had a prominent sign on it, proclaiming that the box (container) was filled with fireworks. The Canadian National main line, also featuring close to 20 daily trains, goes through the heart of Fort Langley, with the downtown on one side and the Bedford Landing development on the other. Crude oil is hauled through there, as are a huge variety of other hazardous goods — more than on the CP line. CN trains also traverse the edge of Walnut Grove and go through an industrial area, which includes several businesses which daily receive and unload tank cars filled with a variety of oil and chemical products. These products are an important part of our daily lives, and rail is generally a safe way to haul these goods. But the Lac Megantic tragedy reminds us to be fully aware of what surrounds us, to insist that rail companies follow good safety practices and to ensure that local governments, and particularly fire departments, are fully aware of the scale of a fire involving petroleum products and other hazardous goods — no matter how they are transported.

t’s obvious the federal government isn’t worried about communication. It was in June that Health Canada announced new policies regarding medicinal marijuana and said that plants would no longer be grown in residential settings. Instead, industrialization of the process will take place. However, local authorities such as the Regional District of North Okanagan still don’t know what implications the new policy will have on them and their responsibilities for land use and ensuring buildings meet code. “A lot of people are scratching their heads about this,” said Rob Smailes, RDNO’s general manager of planning and building. And during a conference call with other local and provincial jurisdictions Thursday, it was clear that RDNO isn’t the only one unsure of its role. The concerns are valid as these large-scale operations have the potential to be unlike anything local authorities have had to approve before. It’s anticipated they will be concrete or brick to ensure security and will follow different designs than a barn. For areas outside of the Agricultural Land Reserve, communities will have to determine if industrial zoning is in place. Many issues that have arisen with residential marijuana-grow sites will continue as well, including odour from chemicals and the potential fire risk such materials can create. With 2014 just around the corner and Ottawa bent on implementing its new rules, now is the time for the federal government to sit down with local authorities and discuss what its expectations are. After all, it will be local communities dealing with any fallout. —Vernon Morning Star (Black Press)

Vandals disrespect all of us Editor: In Walnut Grove near the secondary school, there is a bridge that crosses a ravine just off 208 Street. On this bridge, a series of pictures was put up by an art class along one side for us all to look at and enjoy. Unfortunately, about three-quarters of it has been ripped down. I can only assume this was due to vandals, and I have a message for them. I do not know why some out there feel a need to destroy the hard work of others, but it appears that there is no shortage of these individuals. Those who vandalize are in the lowest echelon of society and lack the most basic ethos that humans share. They probably lack the intelligence to understand the last sentence. We are all members of this community, we all share in it and we all contribute to it.

When you destroy a part of it, you don’t just show a disrespect for the one who created it, you show disrespect for all of us and for yourself. I know that if this gets published the vandals will more than certainly not bother reading the paper, so they will never see my words, but maybe there is a lesson for all of us here. We should all instil in our children a sense of community pride and show them that vandalism is wrong, a crime and a demonstration of total disregard for the community. We know what right and wrong are. Let’s make an extra effort to teach our youth and give them the character to be good members of our community. Mike Major, Langlety

Monique TAMMINGA/Langley Times

Jami Volpe, a Grade 12 Walnut Grove Secondary student, was one of many who contributed to murals on the West Mundy Creek footbridge. A few days after its installation, much of the art project was vandalized.

‘You’ve had your turn and you blew it’ Editor: I have had the pleasure on several occasions to meet and speak with Times editor Frank Bucholtz on matters political and community. He is infinitely intelligent, and will apprise you both on current events and history. And so when I read people like Councillor Charlie Fox (“Township council creating more farmland, The Times, July 2) spewing a few facts counter to a j4 opinion column, in order to justify the Township’s position, I believe it would behoove him and others to quit beaking off. Bucholtz’ column is relating what the people see and want — not what council members want. In fact, until government reps of all levels acquire some level of

accountability, their credibility is zero. Witness a $67,000 used scoreboard for McLeod Park, a downsized swimming pool for Aldergrove or an unbudgeted expansion of the Langley Events Centre. Then there is the financial sinkhole which is the interchange at 200 Street and Highway 1. The millions of dollars spent, the legal wrangling, delays and the manipulation of land swaps have spawned a new interchange that still causes traffic to back up, due to the traffic lights, as much as it did with the original interchange. Has no one heard of overpasses or underpasses? Then throw in some rail overpasses

which ignore the two busiest intersections in Langley, Highway 10 at 200 Street, and at Glover Road, or a rail overpass that starts from nowhere and ends up in the Target store parking lot, and it is all sheer lunacy. Does anybody understand why taxpayers protest tax increases – or any taxes at all? So to Fox, Bucholtz has the floor right now. You’ve had your turn and you blew it. Oh and by the way, see what you can do about dissolving the ALR. The lands have been designated and so any further council business involving the ALR is simply milking. I don’t want any more of my money going there either. Richard Keill, Langley

Letter is ‘far from the complete story’ Editor: In response to Langley Township Councillor Charlie Fox’s attack on the editor (The Times, July 2): Kudos to Councillor Fox for trying to defend the reputation of both himself and the majority of his colleagues on council. The fact remains — his retort completely glances over the the core issue which a majority of the politically active Langley Township residents are concerned about. Approving an expansion of a private university onto ALR land is one thing, but allowing the inclusion of the Wall The

property in the university district was absurd. Why can the majority of council not see this development for what it is? A private developer has piggybacked his property into this “university district” in order to create market housing on ALR land. This is in no way part of a “university district.” Students and faculty will not be given any sort of priority, or promise of affordability. This is spot zoning and market housing, plain and simple. In 30 years time, Class 4.5 farmland

(lower capability agricultural lands with limitations to producing perennial forage crops or other specially adapted crops) will be much easier to farm than asphalt. It is also interesting to note that all of the councillors who received campaign donations from the Wall family, in one form or another, voted for this proposal. Fox’s statement, in my opinion, was far from the complete story. Daniel Lewis, Langley

THE RIGHT WORD Editor: In response to Tom Tonks Sr.’s letter (The Times, June 18), he commented on the word “aggressive,” as it relates to Ed, the companion dog of Kevin Steele. I find the word to be well-chosen. If Ed had been a human, he would have been called a bully. I am not disputing that Ed is a companion to Steele, but I maintain that one should be able to walk in Douglas Park, Linwood Park or anywhere for that matter, without an unleashed dog coming charging at one’s own dog. It is my understanding that Steele is now keeping his dog on a lead, and I therefore have no problem with his dog. Sheila Webb, Langley City

SPEED BUMPS NEEDED Editor: I totally disagree with those who think we don’t need speed bumps on 212 Street (in front of James Kennedy Elementary) and Walnut Grove Drive. I drive there all the time and I am so frustrated with the people that try to pass me on the right hand side, or honk. Although school’s out, it’s still a place where kids play. Yes, I agree it’s not fun having the speed bumps out of school zone hours but people wreck it for themselves. Adults — there are consequences to your actions. Roxie Harder, Langley

IS ALR VALID? Editor:Times editor Frank Bucholtz, made a comment (The Times, June 25) that caught my attention. This is the comment: “so many Langley Township meetings feature discussions about which areas of the ALR need to be rezoned to allow for housing.” Therein lies the question. Why do our Langley Township mayor and council do that? Why do they discuss what lands in the ALR need to be removed? Does the Township have no ALR (Agriculture Land Reserve)? This is a very valid question. Do we or don’t we have an ALR in the Township? And if we do, why is council continually discussing removal? Gary Davis, Fort Langley

Teen brings campaign for backyard coops to council Neighbour argues against call to permit raising of chickens in urban areas of Langley DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

A Brookswood teen brought her campaign to allow Vancouver-style urban chicken coops in Langley Township backyards to council last month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here about the chickens,â&#x20AC;? 13-year-old Emma Giesbrecht told a Township staffer when she arrived before the start of the afternoon council meeting. Giesbrecht came prepared with a written speech, computer slideshow and freshlyprinted full-colour pamphlet. She has also set up a Facebook page, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chickens for Langley, B.C.â&#x20AC;? which calls for allowing backyard chicken coops in residential areas like the cities of Vancouver, Seattle and New York. Giesbrecht delivered her pitch at a brisk pace, arguing that allowing a maximum of

would allow 4-H members who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live on farms to raise chickens and rabbits at their homes. Council made no decision on the suggestion, but Giesbrecht won praise for what Mayor Jack Froese called â&#x20AC;&#x153;probably the best presentation weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had [in some time].â&#x20AC;? The proposal was opposed by Susanne and Scott Robb, who live near the Giesbrecht family. Susanne Robb said they were forced to file a complaint with Township bylaw enforcement officers after the number of chickens in the Giesbrechtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backyard attracted rats. She said their neighbours started with four chickens, but the number grew to as many as 22. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want to raise chickens â&#x20AC;Ś you should live on an acreage or a hobby farm,â&#x20AC;? Robb said. The City of Vancouver approved urban chicken coops in residential backyards in 2010. The bylaw limits the number of birds in a backyard to four hens, no roosters, four months or older. About 100 Vancouver households have obtained permits to raise chickens.

Now that the hustle and bustle of the school year has finally settled, many homeowners are beginning to spruce up their homes. And for those looking to make a big impact – an investment that won’t break the bank – the kitchen is the ideal place to start, according to Tracy Chu of Cowry Kitchen in Langley at 19638 Fraser Hwy. Aside from being the hub of the household, a simple kitchen renovation can add substantial resale value, she says. “The kitchen is the where we spend the majority of our time and do the most entertaining, which is why it’s always the ideal spot to start renovating. Also, a kitchen renovation for around $6,000 can up the price by around $30,000.”

With the recent dip in housing prices, many homeowners are choosing to create their dream home out of what they already have rather than put their house up for sale and lose money. “The market has really changed out there so we see a lot of customers who are putting off selling and instead are creating the kitchen of their dreams,” said Chu, who has worked for the Langley Cowry Kitchen location for over a year. While a ‘new’ kitchen can seem like an overwhelming and costly project, it doesn’t have to be the case, according to Chu.

2013 Special Olympics BC Summer Games Langley July 11 – 14

Fill the Stands

Be a Fan of Inspiration

The parade of Special Olympians Will open up the Games, How special would it be for them, If everybody came?

The 2013 Special Olympics BC Summer Games will be an exciting display of the inspiring spirit at the heart of Special Olympics, and a celebration of true sportsmanship, achievement, joy, acceptance, and fun.

For each and every one of them Has trained and qualified What a memory they would have If our town stood by their side.

More than 1,100 athletes are ready to give their all in Langley, competing in 11 different sports: 5-pin bowling, 10-pin bowling, aquatics, athletics, basketball, bocce, golf, powerlifting, rhythmic gymnastics, soccer, and softball. Qualifying to compete in a Provincial Games is a significant achievement for these athletes, and they are looking forward with great excitement to all the experiences in store for them in Langley – the chance to travel with and cheer on their teams, make and renew friendships with peers from around the province, and feel the confidence and pride that comes from achieving their goals and giving personal-best performances after working so hard to get here. They are also competing for the opportunity to advance to the 2014 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games set to be held in Vancouver, an especially exciting event as it will be the first National Games to be held in B.C. since 1990. The more than 300 volunteer coaches and mission staff on the

What if we lined the track each time A runner ran his pace, What if hundreds cheered and clapped To see that smile cross their face? Imagine pools and fields and courts Filled with an awesome roar As they join parents and the coaches Applauding louder than before. How many would it take to fill The venues every day? With only standing room available To watch these Special Athletes play? What a great logistic problem To have the parking overflow, As crowds arrived from far and wide To coax on athletes they don’t know. I know we can get the word out, A call to all our passionate fans; After all, this is Langley.. Let’s go fill the stands! ~ j. s. mcgregor Oct.2012

Regional teams will be moved and changed too by the experience of watching their athletes be at their best in these big moments and show all that they are capable of. Special Olympics BC – Burnaby track and field coach Shirley Sywak said her first Provincial Games experience in 2009 was an “ahha” moment as she watched her athletes all getting keenly into the competitive mindset, and every one of them notched personalbest performances. Seeing the athletes in this environment proved anew they have so much more to give than many people give them credit for, she said. The Provincial Games showed everyone the powerful message: “Don’t underestimate them.” The Langley community has offered so much support to help make the 2013 SOBC Summer Games a memorable and rewarding experience for the athletes and for everyone involved. From the generous support of sponsors and the more than 1,000 individuals CONTINUED ON PAGE 16

who have stepped forward to volunteer for the Games, to the leadership, vision, and dedicated efforts of the volunteer Games Organizing ComCom mittee, Langley has made sure this will be a Provincial Games to remember and celebrate. And in return, Langley is sure to be inspired by the true sportsmanship, determination, and love of sport on display. These Special Olympics BC athletes love their sports, love to compete, and love to cheer on fellow athletes with all of their hearts. Their performances will be remarkable to watch, and we hope Langley will fill the stands to cheer them on. After the Games conclude, Special Olympics BC – Langley will continue welcoming athletes and volunteers to share in the spirit of Special Olympics with their year-round sport programs and many opportunities. Visit sobclangley.org to find out more about this supportive and fun community. To kick off the Games, the Opening Ceremonies in the Langley Events Centre on Thursday, July 11, will be an energizing, moving, and fun celebration of the athletes and coaches who are coming together to share in the remarkable Games experience. The big idea behind this exciting show is to put the athletes in the spotlight, celebrating all the dedication and hard work they’ve done to get to Langley and be at their best in their competitions, and welcoming them to fully enjoy every part of the Provincial Games experience. The ceremony will get everyone excited about the amazing set of competitions to come in Langley! The evening program is set to include celebrities showing their support for Special Olympics athletes and top-flight local entertainment from a great mix of veteran and up-and-coming artists in the community, as well as the inspiring sight of the Law Enforcement Torch Run bearing the flame to honour the athletes and the Games spirit of competition and sportsmanship. After that inspiring opening, come out to cheer on the 11 sports on display throughout Friday, July 12, and Saturday, July 13. Details are in this section and online at sobcgameslangley.ca.

For the Jorgensens, Special Olympics is more than just sporting activity for the eldest of the three children in the family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My family is really busy.

For the past nine years, the Jorgensen family â&#x20AC;&#x201D;{ parents Ben and Ann and their three kids, Bryan (24), Travis (22) and Katelynn (20) â&#x20AC;&#x201D;{have been heavily involved in the Special Olympics program. They joined when the family moved from Port Alice to Campbell River. Growing up, Bryan was quite athletic and always loved playing sports, but as the other kids got older, he could no longer keep up because of his Down syndrome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As he got older, the gap widened and he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really able to compete (with the other kids),â&#x20AC;? Ben explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You started to see the separation coming; the kids were getting stronger and faster and he was just having a little bit of trouble competing.â&#x20AC;? Bryan has done a variety of sports, such as swimming, 5-pin bowling, floor hockey and softball. And while he loves competing, it is made extra special by the fact the whole family is involved.

Step into the Studio The owners of a new Fort Langley art gallery aim to offer visitors a fresh look at original art BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

urtis Zondag and Laura Murphy are new partners — both in life and in business. The couple, who met last New Year’s Eve, have opened a gallery together in Fort Langley, and they’re hoping to give visitors a fresh way to look at original art. The Fort Langley Studio, which opened on June 29, currently features work by 10 Lower Mainland artists. But come back in a month and you probably won’t recognize the place. The plan is to rotate artists and their work in and out of the gallery on a regular basis. Some pieces might be there for a week, others for a month, said Zondag, while offering a brief tour of the business at the corner of Glover Road and 96 Avenue. A few of the artists whose work is among the first to be featured in the new studiogallery are already well established, while others are just entering the scene. But the great thing about the The Fort Langley Studio’s concept, said Zondag, is that regardless of the number of years of experience or how well known the artists are, their work will hang together. Pieces by established local artists, including Fort Langley Artist Group member, Susan Galick, mingle with others by emerging new faces, fresh out of Emily Carr, on a custom designed display system, handbuilt from wind-fallen cedar trees on Gambier Island. Because an artist is unknown and might not be able to get into a more established gallery, that doesn’t mean their work isn’t worthy of display, said Zondag. “I like the idea of taking

Laura Murphy and Curtis Zondag have opened a new studio-gallery in the village of Fort Langley. The plan is to make the business a place where people can visit often and see new works by different artists each time. anything we think will sell.” Having a continually changing range of pieces on display presented its own set of challenges. Where, for example, were they going to find enough artists to keep the rotation going? The Internet, of course. “We threw an ad on Craigslist to test the waters,” said Zondag. “We knew we might get great things or we might get garbage. “We got great things.” The pieces on display now

range from florals to figures, still life, landscapes and contemporary abstracts. One corner holds a number of rather unconventional threedimensional pieces by Emilian Pop Kitz a Romanian-born artist who now lives in Port Coquitlam, He creates sculptures and wall hangings using everything from wood, nails, staples, chicken wire, paint and fabric. “There’s a story behind every piece,” said Zondag. “He just loves texture,” added

Murphy. “Colour and texture is what we told the artists we wanted.” Both Murphy, 28, and Zondag, 32, are themselves creatively inclined — she’s a visual artist, he’s a musician — and both possess an entrepreneurial spirit, so the idea of opening an art gallery together wasn’t so far-fetched. But the plan for this particular business venture came to them in a bit of a roundabout fashion. While they were busking

in Fort Langley in the spring, the couple got chatting with the building’s owner. With a chocolate shop established on the building’s south side, the landlord wanted an artsy tenant and suggested the couple might want to open a music store and offer lessons, said Zondag. But a bit of quick calculation into how much it would cost to build walls and soundproof the space quickly quashed that idea. Still, a seed was planted and when the pair got home that evening, it continued to germinate. “We went home and brainstormed,” said Murphy. “We both love art and selling and meeting people.” The business plan is relatively straight forward. The artists will rent wall space from the couple and pay them a commission on any sales. Keeping the price of the art manageable is key. It’s easer to walk out with a piece that’s under $400 than one that is $5,000, after all, said Zondag. “It’s a great space for artists to test the market.” One idea the couple has to keep the gallery viable during the slower winter months, when foot traffic dwindles, is to continue to use the front half of the space to display art, while blocking off the back for artists to use as studio space to either work themselves or offer lessons. Artists can also book events during which only their art will hang. “We wanted to stretch the business in as many ways as possible,” said Murphy. “To not just make it, but be successful.” The Fort Langley Studio will be open Tuesday to Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends. It is located at 101-9103 Glover Rd.

Just about everyone I know has a “family recipe” for potato salad, it’s one of those things that apparently needs to be done the same way over and over again. Not at my house, I am an equal opportunity potato salad cook. I think potatoes are the little black dress of cooking – you can dress it up or dress ‘em down, add a string of pearls or a jean jacket and it’s like a brand new outfit! There are as many variations on potato salad as there are cooks. Some are made with mashed potatoes,

red, yellow, blue or white potatoes, some with skin on or skin off. Most of them are full of hardboiled egg and are slathered in a mayo based dressing that is all too often way over dressed and under seasoned. Some are served warm, lots of them have the savory salty crunch of bacon and too many of them are loaded with green onion & celery. I’ve even had a sweet potato salad that I loved but for some reason others at the picnic snubbed like it was some long lost drunk uncle no one wanted to admit

they were related to! Regardless of your preference for this summertime delight, the key to a good potato salad is balance. All of the ingredients must work together to complement each other. Oh and ease up on the 1972 “garnish” of sweet paprika would ‘ya! Here is a recipe I love…. several variations of this leave my kitchen and get hauled off to outings all summer long. I am drying to hear from YOU with your go to potato salad recipe!

You & The Law

PRESENTS Deadlines for starting a lawsuit Don’t delay seeking legal help. In a true case, Mary (not her real name) was hurt quite badly in a car crash. She was probably entitled to get financial compensation. But she waited too long to see a lawyer. When she finally walked in to a lawyer’s office, it was two years less one day since the accident. Unfortunately, the lawyer was out of town. And the deadline for starting a lawsuit for personal injuries from an accident like this is two years. The lawyer’s legal assistant doubts if another lawyer was able to help Mary. A new law in B.C. also just came in on June 1, 2013 which shortens many deadlines. The new law puts in place a new “basic limitation period.” That new period is two years from the time you discovered – or should have discovered – that something happened for which you can sue and know who to go after in court. You must start your lawsuit against that person or party within these two years. If you don’t, you lose the right to ever bring that lawsuit – your claim will be “barred,” as though you were stopped dead in your tracks at a railway crossing by a bar dropping down in front of you. For example, say that Jane becomes tired of waiting to be repaid by Joe, who owes her money. If the debt became due on or after June 1, she’ll have only two years after the due date to go to court. That’s because she knew, or should have discovered, that the debt wasn’t repaid on the due date, that it was Joe who stiffed her (defaulted on the debt), and that she could go to court to recover the debt. The old deadline for suing for breach of contract was six years after the debt should have been repaid.

The new law also puts in place a 15-year “ultimate” limitation period to start a lawsuit for a civil wrong – even if that wrong isn’t discovered in those 15 years (the old limitation was 30 years). There are good reasons for the changes, which brings the B.C. law more in line with Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick, all of which recently updated their law on this. Oodles of exceptions and special rules under the new law take into account special situations, e.g., to protect minors or mentally incompetent people, who may need longer to see their rights protected. But here’s the key to all this. There are many other specific laws in B.C. with their own, often shorter time periods to start a claim or lose out forever. It takes time to sit down with your lawyer, explain the situation to them and have them digest your information, research the law (including what limitation period applies) and prepare and file the court documents necessary to start the lawsuit. And of course, they may be tied up on other lawsuits, have previous pressing commitments, or be away on business or holidays. So seek legal help as soon as you reasonably can if you have a legal situation that may require you to go to court to protect your rights – you don’t want the limitation period to defeat you, without ever setting a foot in the court room.

‘Hard work leads to success’ Kaitlyn Cameron may have been slowed by type 1 diabetes, but that hasn’t stopped the softball player from succeeding GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Healthy and athletic, Kaitlyn Cameron knew something was wrong. She had dropped about 25 pounds in less than a month and no one knew why. Cameron was a Grade 12 student at Walnut Grove Secondary and also an outstanding softball player. Prior to getting sick, she had verbally committed to accept a scholarship offer to join the Simon Fraser softball team. With no explanation for why she was losing so much weight, and so quickly, Cameron went to the doctor, who diagnosed her with type 1 diabetes. With type 1 diabetes, the body lacks insulin and leads to increased blood and urine glucose. Untreated, it can prove fatal. Now 20, she completed her sophomore year for the SFU Clan this past season. The 2011 Walnut Grove graduate is studying psychology at university. “It was definitely challenging,” said Cameron. “I ended up losing a lot of weight so I had to gain back some of the muscle and some of my weight.” She credits softball — as well as the support of her family and friends — as big reasons she was able to regain submitted photo her health. Kaitlyn Cameron, who just finished her sophomore season with the SFU Clan “I knew I had to get back on track softball team, is playing for Team BC at the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch quickly if I wanted to actually play International Championship at Softball City. The event runs July 12 to 22. my freshman year,” Cameron said. Cameron worked hard at regaining day. She also periodically has to test and cause long-term damage to her strength and adjusting to life as a her blood sugar levels to make sure organs. If the levels are too low, diabetic. everything is OK. it can lead to seizures or episodes In addition to eating a healthy diet If her levels are too high, it of unconsciousness, and require and getting proper exercise, Cameron can lead to increased fatigue emergency treatment. takes two or three insulin shots per

So far, she does not require an insulin pump, which distributes the insulin through a catheter placed under the skin. But she persevered, and after playing as a back-up her first year with SFU, Cameron blossomed in her sophomore season. She also carries a healthy attitude. “I realized there were a lot worse things that could have happened when I got sick,” she said. “This kid has overcome adversity,” said SFU coach Mike Renney. “(But) she hasn’t let that be an impediment to her development. “Kaitlyn epitomizes the adage of hard work leads to success and this kid is certainly a hard worker.” Renney said it is an adjustment period for any player as they transition from a part-time role to that of a full-time starter. “It is tough being thrown into the fire and she had some adjustment challenges (but) by the end of the year, she was full credit for all of the successes she had,” he said. She led the team with a .342 batting average, a .507 slugging percentage and 31 RBIs and was tied for second with five home runs. And in the field, she had a .982 fielding percentage. Cameron’s play has also caught the eye of Team BC and she survived the tryout process with the squad last month. She will suit up this week for the 2013 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship, which is held at Surrey’s Softball City. Cameron is playing on Team BC in the women’s elite division, where they are up in a division with the White Rock Renegades, the Northwest Lady Sharks and the Quebec Rebelles. She has played at the tournament a few times before, at the club level, with the Surrey Storm. And it is quite the experience. “It is always exciting when they’re lots of people around to watch,” Cameron said. “Growing up, there are usually not many people at your games, so when there is a bit of a crowd, it makes the game more interesting and a little more intense.”

Health Matters

A deficiency of vitamin B12 can lead to a serious condition called pernicious anemia. Pernicious anemia can lead to nerve damage and other symptoms of low B12 can include depression and memory loss. Some people, particularly the elderly, absorb B12 poorly from their diet and may require supplementation via injections. Up to 20% of people over the age of 50 have a vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin D is often recommended these days, but some factors may increase your need for supplements: 1) living further north – less UV rays, 2) air pollution – absorbs & reflects UV rays, 3) sunscreen use – blocks UV from skin, 4) having dark skin – melanin also blocks UV from skin, 5) being overweight or obese – body fat reduces the availability of vitamin D, and 6) advancing age – reduces the ability of the skin to make vitamin D. Should you be taking a multivitamin? Certain people with poor diets, specific medical conditions, vegans or pregnant women would likely benefit from multivitamins, however experts agree that getting

Many other components naturally occur in BOB SANGHA foods, such as anti-oxidants, Pharmacist, BSc so seek nutritious foods for maximum benefits. It is possible to get very technical about your diet – but enjoying a balanced and nutritious diet doesn't have to be that difficult. First, think variety – a variety of colours when it comes to fruits and vegetables, a variety of whole grains and a variety of protein sources (seafood, poultry, lean meats, bean/legumes and nuts). Second, limit sugars (especially from drinks) and refined or processed carbohydrates. Look for "whole" foods – minimize the items on the ingredient list. Pharmacists can advise on a lot more than medications – lifestyle and nutrition are powerful mediators in health and optimizing these factors can optimize your health.
