Demolition of the 248 Street overpass spanning Highway 1 has finished. It wrapped up at the end of August and construction of the replacement crossing is now underway. Traffic is being detoured to other overpasses while the work is underway, with average delays of 10 minutes. The new crossing will be completed by April of next year. It’s all part of a $24 million project that will also add truck lanes to Highway 1 by the end of next month.

Grass fire underscores need for burning season delay FRANK BUCHOLTZ Times Reporter

Langley Township firefighters fought a stubborn grass fire adjacent to Aldergrove Athletic Park on Monday evening. The fire department was called to the site near 26A Avenue and 268 Street at 5:37 p.m. Assistant chief Pat Walker said the grass on the property was burning, and eventually about one and one-half acres was consumed. Firefighters were fortunate that the

wind was not strong, and they had access to a hydrant near the Kinsmen Community Centre. Nonetheless, it was a difficult fire to fight. Hall 3 full-time firefighters were the first responders, and they were backed up by paid call firefighters from halls 3 and 7. Walker said the firefighters encountered some steep terrain and formed a ring around the fire to prevent it from spreading to neighbouring properties. The cause is not known, he said.

Walker said the grass fire could have been much worse, and illustrates why the Township is delaying the start of the burning season, which normally funds from Sept. 15 to Oct. 31. He said burning will remain closed until further notice, and added there needs to be more moisture in the ground for it to be safe to do outdoor burning. He said the burning season can be extended into November to make up for the lost time in September.

One of two career criminals involved in a police standoff at the then Super 8 Motel on Glover Road in March 2012 has pleaded guilty and been sentenced to two years in jail. On Friday, Ivan Logan Johnson, 33, of New Westminster pleaded guilty to 68 criminal offences related to the recovery of a large amount of stolen property from a hotel room, a vehicle and storage locker. His co-accused, Dave Joseph Yaroslawsky, 31, of Surrey entered a guilty plea earlier this year and is due to be sentenced Nov. 1. Johnson and Yaroslawsky were arrested after a two-hour standoff with police on March 2, 2012 at the Super 8 Motel. The standoff brought in the Emergency Response Team, Police Dog Services, the Uniformed Gang Task Force and Air 2. Finally, the two men exited the hotel and were arrested without incident. Both have remained in custody since that day. Searches of the hotel room, their vehicle and a storage locker recovered in excess of 250 stolen items. The property seized was associated with upwards of 18 break-ins. The items had been stolen mainly from homes in Abbotsford, Surrey, Langley, Hope and Chilliwack. Of particular note was the recovery of three loaded handguns from the hotel room. There were so many stolen items, Langley RCMP held a day at the detachment to show all the goods. During Yaroslawsky’s sentencing hearing on July 31, the court heard that he had accumulated so many stolen items that he had rented a storage locker in Aldergrove to stash them. Johnson will be bound by two years probation upon his release. He was given credit for one year already served.

Members of Langley Heritage Society bring cutout campaign Township council meeting DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

About 30 people staged a mostly silent protest against the Coulter Berry building project in Langley Township council chambers on Monday night. Other than a few muttered groans when Mayor Jack Froese talked about attending the sod-turning for the controversial Fort Langley building, the demonstrators sat quietly in the audience. Many wore a bright yellow outline drawing of an outstretched hand with the message “Protect your Village … Respect Heritage Guidelines.” The protest was organized by the Langley Heritage Society, which is conducting a petition campaign that asks opponents of Coulter Berry to trace the outline of their hand. The society has been collecting the hands on weekends at the heritage CN train station it operates on the corner of Mavis Street and Glover Road in Fort Langley. “The response has been great,” said Ted Lightfoot, a society director, who

Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times

About 30 people staged a silent protest against the Coulter Berry project Monday night at the regular Langley Township council meeting. They wore yellow hand-shaped protest buttons. estimated about 600 hands have been collected over the past month. “We needed something that would be more than a signature on a page,” Lightfoot told The Times. “When you’re tracing your hand, you’re making more of a commitment.” Down the road, the society is thinking about creating a mural or walkway of

some kind to display all of the collected hands, Lightfoot said. He said the society decided to stage a polite protest in council chambers to “show them that our presence was there and also we have a tremendous response from the community.” Lightfoot said the society is not involved in a B.C. Supreme Court

lawsuit filed by a different group, the Fort Langley Residents for Sustainable Development, that seeks to overturn the council decision approving the building (see story below). “I don’t think we would be wanting to give an opinion [on the court case] at this point” Lightfoot said. Township council approved a heritage alteration permit for the project by a 7-1 vote in November of last year, allowing it to exceed development guidelines for the area. At 43.5 feet tall and three storeys high, the Coulter Berry building is 14.5 feet over the height limit of 29 feet and two storeys set by the Fort Langley Building Facade Guidelines. The building also has a lot coverage of 67 per cent, when only 60 per cent is usually the limit. Lightfoot said the society is only objecting to the size of the building design, which he said has a number of positive features. “It’s just way too big,” Lightfoot said. “Knock off a floor [and scale back the lot coverage] and it would be within the guidelines.” Lightfoot said if one builder is allowed to exceed the size restrictions, others will want the same and the result will be the erosion of Fort Langley’s unique character. “We want to keep this unique and charming and to scale” Lightfoot said. The society is also conducting an online campaign at www. handsonheritage.ca.

Coulter Berry construction carries on in midst of legal action Suit launched by Fort Langley building’s opponents expected to be heard by Chilliwack court in January, 2014 MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Construction on the Coulter Berry development in Fort Langley is well underway, while a court challenge to stop that building from going up presses on. The lawyers for the Township and the lawyer for The Society of Fort Langley Residents for Sustainable Development who are suing the Township, were in Chilliwack Supreme Court briefly on Monday to discuss a

hearing date. Three days are being set aside to hear the case, which may not be heard until the New Year. The hope is that the case will be heard earlier but so far, the case is set for January 2014, confirmed Township lawyer Dan Bennett. The Township filed a motion to have the case thrown out because the newly-formed society, created on May 23, has no assets or resources to pay court costs should a judgment go against them.

The lawyer for the society responded by filing a motion to add three electors as petitioners, one of them being Diane Morrison, the owner of Wendel’s café and bookstore, a business located across the street from Coulter Berry. “In the circumstances we have agreed to consent to the addition of the petitioners and not proceed with the standing challenge,” said Bennett. In the petition to the court, the society maintains that the Coutler Berry building violates

the Township heritage protection regulations because it is too big. At 43.5 feet tall and three storeys high, the building is 14.5 feet over the height limit of 29 feet and two storeys. The property is located within the Heritage Conservation Area of the Fort Langley Community Plan. A heritage alteration permit was approved by council for the increased size of the development. In a written response, filed Aug. 2, the Township lawyer

says the Langley Township council has a “broad discretion” to approve variances from heritage guidelines. Coulter Berry developer Eric Woodward, a Fort Langley resident himself, told The Times earlier that he believes the lawsuit, headed by the Wendel’s cafe owner, is to prevent additional competition in Fort Langley. The We Support Coulter Berry has 640 likes on Facebook. The page shows that excavation of the site is well underway.

Prepping their careers for take off Aircraft Maintenance students volunteer at Langley’s Museum of Flight solely for the experience BRONWYN SCOTT Times Reporter

For aviation fanatics, visiting the Canadian Museum of Flight is time well spent and volunteers from BCIT’s Aircraft Maintenance Engineering program (AME) are boosting their career prospects while they take in the history. Every Tuesday volunteers flock to the museum, and Jay Park and Julius Hettig are just two of six BCIT students and new graduates who come for hands-on learning and the chance to set themselves apart from their peers. “When I come here I can touch the aircraft, I can have experience with the aircraft,” said Park, an international student who finished his program in June. He was one of five volunteers who showed up on Tuesday, Aug. 20, to repaint the Handley Page Hampden, an aircraft that served bomber command in the early days of the Second World War. It is the third time the plane will have been repainted, according to volunteer Alfie Frost, a regular at the facility. There are more than 25 aircraft at the non-profit museum and, of those, six are still flying. Volunteers work to restore, preserve and showcase Canada’s flight history and in 2002, 22 years of restoration efforts paid off when the 1937

A field trip to the museum last month prompted Hettig to start volunteering.

BBQ on the Bypass Sunday MONIQUE TAMMINGA

There’s only one thing better than the smell of a good barbecue — it’s getting to eat barbecue. You can do just that, for free, all day, at the eighth annual BBQ on the Bypass on Sunday, Sept. 15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. But founder and B.C. BBQ queen Angie Quaale offers this one important piece of advice. “Pace yourself,” she said. “There is quite a lot of food. Many people get excited and fill up too fast. By the time the ribs are ready, they are full and I think ‘you are crazy to miss out on ribs’.” Barbecue teams will be slow cooking to perfection beef brisket, ribs, chicken, pork butt and a mystery meat in the Black Box — Iron Chef category.

award winning pitmaster Quaale, owner of Well Seasoned Gourmet Store and cooking classes, the BBQ on the Bypass has become one of the premier events in Langley. Quaale was introduced to competitive barbequing in 2004 when she met BBQ evangelist and Canadian BBQ Champion Rockin’ Ronnie Shewchuk. She figured the best way to join the quest for the ultimate BBQ was to host a competition. In 2005 she invited teams to Langley, from all over the Pacific Northwest and, as a result, the BBQ on the Bypass was born. “We have some new teams joining this year who were caught by the barbecue bug by tasting at the BBQ on the Bypass,” she said. Southern style barbecuing competitions have taken Quaale all over North America to compete. She has been in Washington, Montana, Tennessee and Saskatchewan. “It’s taken over my

masters and their teams from around the Pacific Northwest set up camp in Langley to compete for thousands of dollars in prizes, trophies and a chance to compete at the Jack Daniels’ World BBQ Championships in Tennessee. Each type of meat, slowly cooked, usually overnight, is offered in samples to the public and to the certified expert judges for judging. C-Lovers will be back with their food truck offering up fish and chips with proceeds going to the Langley Community Farmers Market. The BBQ on the Bypass is also the site of the Great BC Bake Off, an annual amateur pie baking and butter tart making competition, open to the public. In years past, it is a member of the public who has won this, said Quaale. Langley cover band OS5 will perform and there will be activities going on all day. “It’s crazy fun here,” said Quaale.

Prolific offender arrested

Another one of Langley’s prolific property offenders has been arrested thanks to the targeted efforts of Langley RCMP’s Street Enforcement Unit (SEU). Cody John Ball, 24, of Aldergrove, is now in custody and scheduled to appear in court again on Tuesday. On Sept. 4, police allegedly observed Ball driving a white Chevrolet Cavalier in the Aldergrove area. The SEU officers knew Ball was prohibited from driving

and queries of the license plate showed they should be attached to a brown Oldsmobile Intrigue. The officers attempted to get Ball to pull over when they allege he appeared to intentionally back his vehicle into an unmarked police car. Ball fled at a high rate of speed and the officers, giving regard to public safety, did not initiate a pursuit, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. However, charges were immediately forwarded to

Crown Counsel for approval. The following evening, Ball was again observed driving and again, no attempts were made to initiate a police chase to ensure public safety. A short time later, he was taken into custody without incident when he returned to his home. Ball remanded in custody and has been charged with two counts of driving while disqualified, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and flight from police.

Picking on ‘the ethnics’

A ripple effect

f you are a minority government with a goal of removing your province from the country, and you want to avoid talking about your bad economic record — well, it must be time to pick on “the ethnics.” It’s hard to come to any other conclusion about the motivation behind the xenophobic Charter of Quebec Values, unveiled on Tuesday by the minority Parti Quebecois government in Quebec. The term “the ethnics” was used by former PQ premier Jacques Parizeau, when the province came very close to approving separation. A 50.6 per cent margin approved staying in Canada. Parzeau blamed “money and the ethnic vote” for the narrow loss. His successors haven’t forgotten. The Quebec charter is a thinlydisguised attack on non-Caucasian, non-“pure laine” Quebecois. These include those not from a Catholic background, those with a different skin colour, those who practise a religion other than Christianity (with a special aim at Jews and Muslims) and those who somehow look different, such as wearing a head covering or a symbol of their religion. Ever since news of such a charter was leaked, likely by the PQ, there has been a lot of reaction. Much of it has come from outside Quebec, which suits the PQ agenda perfectly, as it can then claim that Quebec is “different” from the rest of Canada. However, it is heartening to see strong reaction from the federal government and the two federal party leaders who represent Quebec seats — Thomas Mulcair of the NDP and Justin Trudeau of the Liberals. Mulcair, in particular, has something to lose as his large Quebec caucus includes some soft PQ supporters, and his party gained much of the “nationalist” vote in the 2011 federal election, when it won 59 Quebec seats. The Quebec Liberals and the second provincial opposition party, the CAQ, also oppose the charter, as it was detailed on Tuesday. Unfortunately, the CAQ seems likely to support some elements of it, likely trying to appeal to some of the voters the PQ is targeting. Quebeckers should think back to when longtime premier Maurice Duplessis targeted Jehovah’s Witnesses 70 years ago. This attempt to ban religious symbols is a similar paranoid attempt to exploit differences for political gain. Most Quebeckers are fair-minded people. Hopefully they will see political trickery for what it is, and reject an attack on their neighbours.

ew can argue against the statement that mental illness touches everyone. There are, of course, those with diagnoses. Then there are their children, siblings, parents, friends and co-workers. Even complete strangers are often hit with the ripples, as society is forced to bear the burden of missed work days, medical visits, inadequate treatment options, etc. Perhaps if it felt easier to talk openly about mental illness, things would be different. But it’s a subject rarely broached in the public realm. There are people in this community who worked hard to change that. Helen Connolly was one. Prior to her death in 2008, Connolly was tireless in advocating for people with mental illness — a journey of more than two decades that was inspired by her own son’s struggles. Jim Booth was another devoted advocate. Along with his wife, Ilze, Booth (who died in 2010) hosted an annual international soiree aimed at opening eyes, minds and hearts to mental illness — how pervasive it is, how much more needs to be done for diagnosis and treatment. If they were still alive today, both would, no doubt, be disappointed to learn of Fraser Health’s recent decision to phase out evening hours at several of its mental-health clinics. Health authorities say it will only affect one per cent of those who currently access its mental-health services. But it’s unlikely that statistic factors in those who support the one per cent. The decision does more harm than good. It may take a little while to notice, but the decision will have ripples — at home, in the workplace and beyond. It will impact forward strides that have been made in the realm of mental illness and mood disorders; strides that include leading society to better accept mental illness as a disease. For those who could only access the evening clinics, the decision literally closes doors to a healthier future. —Peace Arch News The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

‘The people’ back Coulter Berry Editor: Who are “the people?” “The people” seem to be saying a lot in Langley lately, yet they are such an elusive bunch. I see it in letter to the editor after letter, news report after news report — “The people” have not been heard in Fort Langley. Council has acted against “the people’s” wishes. The fact is, “the people” who are in an uproar in Fort Langley are a very vocal minority. As the the squeaky wheel gets the grease (and media attention), the diligent worker bees put their heads down and try to build a community centrepiece worthy of attention, for all the right reasons. The Coulter Berry issue has moved from a few people upset with what they view as injustice (and then getting nowhere with their message) to escalating the spread of misinformation. Now the same few people are wasting taxpayers’ money suing the Township of Langley over a decision that was perfectly within council’s right to make. We have moved from the ridiculous to the downright absurd. But it gets more intriguing in Langley, as a few members of this minority are now a part of a new political slate. This is another platform from

which to shout the same message again. They have made it clear that they are not “anti-development”, nor is this a personal vendetta against one developer in particular. But if that were true, this same vocal few would have protested all requested variances of the Fort Langley Heritage Facade guidelines, and not just cherry pick the Coulter Berry project. In life, it is always the brave souls and visionaries on the path of change who have their head put on the chopping block. It is not until the dust settles that the bigger picture is seen and appreciated. The fact that another beautiful Fort Langley project which was approved after Coulter Berry (and also has a few variances of the same facade guidelines), received not one breath of protest from this group, speaks volumes as to their motives. Keep out the competition, prohibit meaningful change. Because that is what this is about — change. Change is inevitable and a fact of life. As our population grows, so we will need to be creative with how we use our land. We can’t fight both urban sprawl on our farmland and yet also

fight building up. The few members of the new political slate fighting over a 14-foot height variance is also vocal about preserving our ALR. It just doesn’t make sense to fight these opposing concepts, unless of course there is another motive to do so. Be wary folks of the message being spread. This is not a movement, it is a farce. The petition often used as a gauge of “the people” who are against Coulter Berry was authored by a few of these people. It was riddled with misleading information to its signers and padded with hundreds of names of people who do not live in Fort Langley. But as in all areas of life, a negative campaign spreads faster than the truth. So let this be a little bit of truth for you. There is in fact a movement brewing in Fort Langley. And that movement is for this madness to stop. And the movement involves the huge number of supporters of smart and meaningful growth in Fort Langley, who will start sticking our necks out to say thank you for hearing us. Misty VanPopta, Langley

Gun owners face many restrictions Editor: Re: “America is welcome to keep its gun culture,” (letters, The Times, Sept. 5). I find it ironic that Al French can get our gun culture and America so backwards. We in Canada have huge useless restrictions placed upon restricted firearms owners, for fear of gun violence. The last time I checked, you don’t need a permit to own and use a handgun in Colorado, but up here in Canada we need to take two courses, apply for our licences, have an active range membership, get another permit to transport our handguns, double lock

our handguns, and then we can go only to the range or gunsmith. This is all in the name of safety. Except if you are a criminal, then the laws don’t apply. I would also like to point out that the letter writer uses the terms tactical weapons, large magazines, and bayonets. First, our magazines are capped out at five rounds. This is far less than the average hunting rifle, which can hold 10-plus cartridges. Tactical weapons use the same scopes and sights as your hunting rifle. Bayonets aren’t even sharp and

haven’t been used in a crime in 50 years. Citizens should have more fear of kitchen knives, which are used daily to commit crimes. The gun paranoia we Canadians suffer from up here is getting out of hand. It is especially galling when a fellow firearms owner throws some of us under the bus for our hobby, and an ad in the newspaper brings out irrational fears. So much for freedom of speech. Chris Humphrey, Langley

Support from community encourages authors Editor: First, we would like to thank Brenda Anderson for her first-class article (The Times, June 25), which expressed so well how our book Surfacing came to be. Her first class article and photo were instrumental to the success of our book launch. Thanks, too, to Coles book store in Willowbrook Shopping Centre, the IGA in Murrayville, Otter Co-op, and Wendel’s in Fort Langley for carrying our book and hosting meet-the-author events to promote it. We should also mention that SurfacThe

ing is available on Amazon in paperback form and for downloading from Kindle and Kobo. We also had great fun and a most successful day at Arts Alive. This Sunday, Sept. 15, we will be at Porter’s Bistro at Five Corners in Murrayville, and look forward to meeting everyone from 12 to 3 p.m. We are also enjoying tremendous response from local retirement homes — Langley Seniors Village, Langley Gardens, Harrison Pointe, Harrison Landing, Sunridge and Magnolia Gardens.

We loved being put on the hot seat by the residents who peppered us with questions about how two people could write one book. They were intrigued to learn that we composed Surfacing in an exchange of emails, taking about eight months to complete our first draft. Thank you Langley, for helping to make Surfacing such a success and thanks to The Times for continuing to promote Langley’s authors and artists. Jim McGregor and Natasha Jones, Langley

TransLink never satisfied Editor: TransLink is asking for a .5 per cent sales tax increase to cover region’s transit funding problems. I wish I could believe that a .5 per cent sales tax increase could fix TransLink’s money woes. Perhaps if TransLink had a genie-in-a-bottle in their executive boardroom for every little greedy money grab they wanted to impose on the public, our continued and exhausted backlash to TransLink would quietly go away. We taxpayers want TransLink to find the money within the existing trough. But once again, TransLink says if it could grab $250 million from our tired and over-taxed wallets, their problems would be solved for today. Next week, they will come forth once again asking for another umpteen million dollars for another A-B-C line to accommodate the already over-compensated Burnaby and Vancouver transit system. There may be a small pittance to Surrey for light rail. Perhaps TransLink executives need to rethink their compensation packages. And will someone please tell me why any TransLink employee would get a bonus? Then there is the marketing that TransLink does to promote their tolled bridges. You can’t tell me that the marketing costs are cheap. Marketing is expensive, and if I can help TransLink save a couple of bucks, please take me off your mailing list. I don’t need you to send me brochures, pamphlets or postcards telling me I will save time by paying through the nose to take one of your tolled bridges. I think that decision is mine and mine alone. Save my tax money and put it toward some unworthy government endeavour like another fast ferry project. Sandra Steffan, Langley

It’s time to get tough with owners of uninhabitable houses who let them become magnets for squatters, vandals and illegal activity, Langley Township Councillor Charlie Fox said Monday. Fox is proposing new rules that would fine property owners $500 a day starting 30 days after a house has been declared uninhabitable by police, fire or Township inspectors. If a property owner fails to act, Fox said the Township should exercise its existing legal authority to designate a derelict property a nuisance and have it demolished at the expense of the owner. Fox introduced the proposed new regulations at the evening council meeting, saying they

are aimed at developers who buy up properties to build new projects and leave the existing houses to fall apart. There is one example not far from his own home, Fox said. “Over a year ago, there was a fire in a house and the house is still standing [unrepaired],” Fox said. Other councillors were reluctant to go as far as Fox wanted. “I just find this a little heavyduty,” Councillor Bob Long said, suggesting Township staff should see what other municipalities are doing. Councillor Kim Richter agreed, saying she would like to know if the policy was legally feasible. Councillor Bev Dornan wondered whether the 30-day time limit would be too short to be enforceable. Long and Richter convinced

a majority of council to delay a decision on the Fox proposal until staff could investigate further. Fox and Councillor Grant Ward voted against the delay. Councillor Steve Ferguson was not present in council chambers for the vote. Neighbouring Surrey mounted a campaign against derelict houses six years ago, giving owners the choice of repairing them or having them demolished. During one three-month period in the summer 2007, the city applied to tear down 40 such homes. A Surrey city staff report pointed the finger at some developers, saying the number of derelict houses in the city had “risen significantly with the increased development of properties.”

ocal politicians from across B.C. are in Vancouver Sept. 16 to 20 to take part in the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. There will be trivia reported as news, such as the cost of hotels. Suggestions to license mobility scooters or lower speed limits to 40 km/h, dreamed up in Vancouver Island retirement locales, will be rejected by delegates from the rest of the province. Serious discussion will revolve around a report by a UBCM executive committee to reshape the financial relationship between the province and local governments. If this proposal gets the support it deserves, Premier Christy Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government will be asked to undo a couple of decades of political meddling in that relationship. One problem for local governments is that they depend on property tax, a stable source of revenue but one that has no relationship to the property ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to pay. It tends to load costs

Cancer ride hits the road Cross-Canada journey rolled through Langley last Thursday

Bloom

Gardens In Contest

MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

After dipping their wheels into the ocean at White Rock, 26 cyclists with the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride stopped at the Langley Sears for a quick breakfast and some cheers of support on Thursday, Sept. 5. As quickly as they arrived, the cyclists were off again, beginning their marathon 17-day ride across Canada to raise money and awareness for the fight against childhood cancers. Moving the crowd to tears, Patrick Sullivan, of Team Finn, shared the story of his toddlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancer battle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ride for Finn, who embraced the life he was given,â&#x20AC;? said Sullivan. His son Finn died of cancer in 2008. He was only three. He held up the courage beads his son was given at B.C. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, each bead given for another surgery or therapy Finn had to brave his way through. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ask you not to say someone lost their battle with cancer. Finn died but he never lost a battle.â&#x20AC;? Through his tears, Sullivan talked about some of Finnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s battles, like having surgeons cut through the boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abdomen and pancreas to remove a tumour the size of a baseball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids go through hell,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Stolen bucket truck recovered MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

A bucket truck used in several crimes in Langley over the past few weeks has been recovered. Langley RCMP confirm that they recovered the truck from behind a property in the 19800 block of 56 Avenue on Aug. 30. Police believe the bucket truck was taken from a business in the 19800 block of Fraser Highway in mid-August. “Forensics is taking fingerprints and looking for DNA now,” said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl.

Holly Marks. Marks said on top of it being used to steal wires from telephone poles, the truck was also used to break in to secured business compounds more recently. A wire thief apparently used a stolen bucket truck to tear down $500 worth of cable wire from telephone poles along Glover Road near 216 Street on Aug. 15. Langley RCMP said an unidentified male was seen using a truck with a “cherry picker” bucket to pull the wires off the poles.

The man removed nearly 100 feet of wire worth about $500. Investigators believe the truck was a 1999 Ford F450, likely the same truck that was stolen earlier in the week from a business in the 19800 block of Fraser Highway. Police are asking the public to report suspicious activity around telephone poles. If someone is seen climbing a telephone pole (working on the wire) or lingering around a hydro substation and doesn’t appear legitimate, call

Sympathetic ear hoped for from PAGE 12

Saanich is home to the University of Victoria, a community of 25,000 people that needs water and sewer service, as well as police and fire protection. Saanich gets an annual grant in lieu of property taxes of $120,000 for UVic, enough to cover wages and benefits for one cop and maybe some gas money. Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond, co-chair of the UBCM committee, is concerned about new water and flood protection legislation the province is preparing to impose. His district and others like it have thousands of kilometres of riverfront, with relatively few property owners. Interior communities also want BC

Hydro to pay something for power lines, as is now being done with some aboriginal territories. Local politicians will be expecting a sympathetic ear from the new version of the BC Liberal government. Former Quesnel councillor Coralee Oakes is the new community, sport and cultural development minister, with direct responsibility for local government issues. And one of the original members of this UBCM committee was former Langley City mayor Peter Fassbender, who is now minister of education.

Mentoring program pays off ‘big time’ for youth

KRISTYL CLARK Times Contributor

Having a ‘Big Brother’ or ‘Big Sister’ isn’t just about going to the movies or a trip to the zoo. A mentor is an investment of time — one that will have a significant financial impact on a child’s future, according to a recent study, Over a fiveyear span, the Boston Consulting Group tracked the experience of 1,000 children and teenagers registered with Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies across Canada. The research compared the life outcomes of 500 former ‘Little Brothers’ and ‘Little Sisters,’ with a control group of individuals from similar family and economic

backgrounds who did not have a ‘Big Brother’ or ‘Big Sister’ to mentor them as children. The study found that, over their working lives, the former ‘Littles’ will earn on average $315,000 more than those in the control group. Mary Reeves, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley, says while the findings of the study confirm what she’s known all along, they’ve also surpassed her expectations. “I knew the impact was powerful, but did not expect it to be this pronounced,” she said, of the results comprised of four categories of differential life outcomes: employment, philanthropy, life

skills and general well-being. Participants in Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programs were also significantly more likely to give generously to charitable causes and volunteer their time to community work. They also achieved more positive life outcomes in the categories of life skills and personal well-being. “We always knew what we did had a huge impact, but it’s been difficult to prove or quantify up until now, “ said Reeves. “For us, this study is huge — it gives us reassurance that what we do matters. It also shows that prevention is a lot cheaper in the long run.” Serving as role models, volunteer mentors teach

by example the importance of giving back, staying in school and having respect for family, peers and community. “A lot of these kids tell us they look forward to that visit with their ‘Big’ all week long. In some cases, it’s what keeps them going through the week,” said Reeves. “It’s really amazing what it does for them. They really blossom.” In the past, it was largely lone-parent families who took part in the program — a demographic that is changing, notes Reeves. “You now see more of the working poor and also more grandparents, aunts, uncles and extended family looking after a child.” Recently, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley placed in the top 10 per cent out of 125 agencies across the country for its long-term match retention — the right match makes a world of difference, according to Reeves. “It’s not just about having someone to spend time with — it’s about spending time with someone with similar interests and values.” Big Sister Kellie Dale and her ‘Little’ Robin Dejonge are an example of a ‘perfect’ match. When Dale first considered becoming a Big Sister, she worried she wouldn’t have enough time to spare. Ten years later, the Langley resident couldn’t imagine her life without Robin — the inseparable duo currently work together in Dale’s

Big Brother Scott and Little Brother Daylen volunteered at an outdoor movie night presented by Prospera Credit Union in support of the Langley children’s charity. insurance office. They’re also headed to Russia in January to volunteer for the Olympics. “I’d say we’re the best of friends now,” laughed Dale, who joined Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Langley as a volunteer mentor back in 2004. In addition to providing mentorship over the years to Robin, who comes from a single-parent household, Dale has also benefited from the match. “Just having that relationship with a young mind, helping to develop what they’re learning — also you learn and get to do things you normally wouldn’t do.

perspective.” Dale encourages other men and women with a few hours a week to spare, to consider becoming a ‘Big Brother’ or ‘Big Sister.’ “It’s really not a lot of time once you get started in it,” she noted. “It’s just a few hours to connect.” While Dale isn’t certain whether it was her involvement that has helped shape Robin’s character, which she calls “determined and ambitious,” she isn’t surprised by the results of the Boston study. “Sometimes things don’t happen for young children ... people just need

someone to put out a hand and they can take it from there,” she said. “Robin is a phenomenal young girl, a real hard worker. I don’t know if I would have made a difference — I think she was made that way because she’s such a joy.” Despite Dale’s modesty, Dejonge says that having a ‘Big Sister’ has had a role in shaping her into the young woman of 19 that she is today. “A lot of her good traits have definitely rubbed off on me,” she said.

Wheelchair fee blocked in Vancouver but rolls into Fraser Health authority defends decision to proceed with charge JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Fraser Health has gone ahead and imposed a controversial $25 a month wheelchair rental fee at its 16 longterm care homes even though the neighbouring Vancouver Coastal Health Authority has decided to hold off. Seniors have until now had free use of wheelchairs in publicly run residential care homes. Fraser Health was the first B.C. health authority to notify residents in June that if they needed a wheelchair and didn’t own one or rent one from another vendor, they would have to pay starting Sept. 1, unless they applied for and received a hardship waiver.

Back Country Horsemen, Township team up on trail Horse enthusiasts who enjoy riding through Langley’s beautiful scenery are giving back to the community by extending the trails they love — and they are inviting others to join them. Members of the Back Country Horsemen of BC (BCHBC) Aldergrove Chapter have spent several months moving dirt, cutting brush, and clearing a pathway to extend the South Langley Regional Trail. Under the supervision of the Township of Langley’s Parks Design and Development Department, dozens of Back Country Horsemen secured funding, volunteered their time and effort, and used their own tools and equipment for the project. The hundreds of hours of labour have paid off, as close to 280 metres of new trail is now complete. “Our mandate is to give back to the community and keep trails open for everyone’s enjoyment,” said Peter Thiessen, vice chairman of BCHBC’s Aldergrove Chapter. “This is not just about horses. This is for the benefit of all users — joggers, walkers, people with dogs, and cyclists.” The South Langley Regional Trail starts at Campbell Valley Regional Park at 216 Street and 4 Avenue. The shared use pathway continues east along 8 Avenue for about 11 kilometres before ending at 256 Street. In 2011, the BCHBC’s Aldergrove Chapter approached Township Council and asked for the money to complete the project and connect the trail through to Aldergrove Regional Park at 272 Street. The Horsemen assured Council they had more than 50 offers of volunteer labour and machinery that would help reduce the costs. “It really makes sense to connect Campbell Valley and Aldergrove Regional Parks,” Thiessen said, “so we formed a committee to see if we were able to complete it.” Funds to continue the trail were committed by the Township last year, and the BCHBC went to work. A new section

Members of the Back Country Horsemen of BC brought their horses, dogs and bicycles to the partially-completed new leg of the South Langley Trail. The trail is expected to be open to the public next summer. of trail at the east end of 8 Avenue has now been completed and built to municipal standards. The Aldergrove Chapter, one of 17 in BC, has more than 100 members who contributed in a number of ways. During the course of construction, BCHBC members contributed 332.5 volunteer hours through meetings, general trail labour, tractor work, mini-excavator activity, and chainsaw work. One member, Jack Breaks, supplied more than 160 machine hours on his own, Thiessen said, and the organization also contributed financially to the project and secured a grant from the Horse Council of BC. Through the BCHBC and Horse Council money, the volunteers supplied most of the material for the completed portion of the trail, along with culverts, fabric, and some gravel supplied by the Township. Valley Gravel donated a truck and transfer as well as additional material provided at a reduced rate, as a way of giving back to the community. Between the volunteered labour and machine usage, fuel and commuting, and the donations and grants secured,

the Horsemen’s efforts have resulted in a contribution valued at more than $23,530. The Horsemen and Langley Township are now ready to continue on with another section of trail near 8 Avenue and 261 Street. The volunteers formed a successful partnership with an adjacent property owner who is providing access for construction of the new portion. Trail users of all kinds who would like to help are encouraged to get involved and continue working on the trails until the two pathways join up. “This really is an excellent example of what can be accomplished through partnerships with dedicated user groups, and the result can be enjoyed by the entire community,” said Township Manager of Parks Design and Development Al Neufeld. “We are so pleased with what the Back Country Horsemen have accomplished and look forward to seeing the progression of this project.” To volunteer with the South Langley Regional Trail, contact Neufeld at aneufeld@tol.ca or the Back Country Horsemen’s Aldergrove Chapter at bchorsemen.org.

Waterside living in Yaletown with Paciﬁc Point By Kerry Vital

Yaletown is one of Vancouver’s most popular and vibrant neighbourhoods, with some of the best shopping, dining and recreation in the city. Now Bosa Development is staking its claim in the area with Pacific Point, a former rental building that Nat Bosa purchased and turned into luxury condominiums. Every suite has been completely renovated, with new appliances, new decor and new plumbing.

“It’s rare that Nat Bosa puts his name to something,” says George Wong of Magnum Projects. “This is one of those rare opportunities. This is the first thing that has caught his eye in a long time ... he fell in love with the location.” There are 214 condos in the building, ranging from 450 to 1,680 square feet. “Response has been overwhelming for Pacific Point,” says Bosa Sales and Marketing Manager Lisa Murrell. “There simply isn’t anything like it in Vancouver.”

Homeowners will enjoy the amazing views of False Creek, George Wainborn Park, David Lam Park, English Bay and downtown Vancouver, as well as the easy access to everything Yaletown has to offer. Restaurants, nightlife and shopping are right on the doorstep, as well as the seawall and transit. Homes are move-in ready and start at $344,900. For more information, visit www.pacificpointcondos.com, call 604-6850855 or visit the sales centre at 1323 Homer Street any day except Fridays, from noon to 5 p.m.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

There is no shortage of things to do in Vancouver, from shopping on Robson Street, above, or Main Street, bottom right, cycling on the Stanley Park SeaWall, top right, or going for a swim in the pool at Kitsilano Beach, middle right.

Vancouver tops for living and playing By Kerry Vital

Vancouver was recently voted as one of the top three most livable cities in the world, and it’s not hard to see why. With tons of amazing restaurants, gorgeous scenery, plenty of opportunities for shopping and beautiful homes, Vancouver truly has everything you can possibly imagine. One of Vancouver’s most well-known landmarks is Stanley Park, the 400-hectare park that recently celebrated its 125th birthday and has been designated a national historic site. With it’s nearly nine kilometres

of SeaWall, several beaches and acres upon acres of green space, Stanley Park is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. It also holds several dining spots, the Vancouver Aquarium, Malkin Bowl, a pitch-and-putt golf course, a pool and a water spray park, among other attractions. If indoor pursuits are more your forte, you’ll find plenty to love in Vancouver with its array of arts and cultural opportunities. From the Queen Elizabeth Theatre to the Vancouver Art Gallery to the University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology, you’ll find plenty of options for whatever you’re in the mood for. Sports fans aren’t left out either with the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena or the B.C. Lions or Vancouver Whitecaps at B.C. Place. Perhaps some fine dining is on the menu; a wish that Vancouver has no problem fulfilling. Picking a great restaurant can be as easy as choosing a neighbourhood and taking a walk around. You may find your new favourite dining spot completely by accident.

Speaking of neighbourhoods, each one has its own style. Kitsilano, with its trendy shops, dining and the famous Kits Beach, is a haven for healthy living. Among the homes here is Kits360, a condominium development that gives residents access to every amenity that Kits has to offer along with gorgeous homes. If sophisticated living is what you crave, you’ll find the perfect home at Bosa Development’s Pacific Point in Yaletown. Pacific Point has gorgeous views of False Creek and downtown Vancouver, making it a spectacular place to live if you want to take advantage of the vibrant lifestyle in the neighbourhood. When you need a bit of retail therapy, you’ll find plenty of places to exercise your credit card. From Granville Island with its eclectic mix of independent shops and the Public Market to the trendy South Granville area to Robson Street and its mix of high-end and budget shops, including the brand-new Canadian flagship Victoria’s Secret store, there are a variety of options for any taste.

Wine stories bottled and ready to pour Passport program offers chance to explore Langley’s wineries at your own pace

MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

From a chardonnay good enough to serve to the Queen to a sumptuous fortified wine made from green walnuts plucked from trees more than 100-years-old — the stories from Langley wineries have been bottled and are ready for you to pour, sip and explore. Not enough people know that Langley is home to seven wineries, making it the largest grape growing region this side of the

Okanagan. “The firm I own, Jelly Marketing, did some targeted surveying on Facebook to Langley and Vancouver residents and found that the average person thought there were less than two wineries in Langley,” said Jelly Marketing’s Darian Kovacs. So with full support from Langley’s wineries, the Langley Passport Wine Route program was launched on Sunday. The Langley Passport program allows wine enthusiasts to explore

the seven wineries at their own pace, collecting a stamp on their passport at each one. The seven wineries are Domaine de Chaberton, Langley’s oldest and largest winery, Township 7, Vista D’oro, Backyard Vineyards, Blackwood Lane Winery, Fort Wine Co. and the new Krause Berry Farms Winery. Once all seven stamps are on a passport, drop it off at the Holiday Inn Express or Best Western in Langley

Wine enthusiasts walk through the vines at Vista D’oro, one of seven Langley wineries taking part in the launch of the Langley Passport Wine Route program on Sunday. and you are entered to win amazing prize packages, including wine, helicopter rides and travel packages. You can pick up a copy of the passport at any of the seven Langley wineries, the Tourism Langley office, or the Langley hotels. You can also print it off at home by going to www.langleypassport. com. “We talked with the wineries and built the website and passport and organized the media launch. We’re thrilled to see the hotels supporting this venture and the wineries embracing this program,” said Kovacs. A total of 54 media

guests, bloggers and those in the food and wine industry, from both Vancouver and Langley, were taken by bus on Sunday to sip and explore the seven wineries. Many of the Vancouver guests said they were shocked at the quality and quantity of wineries here. Langley’s wine history all began with pioneer winemaker Claude Violet who discovered south Langley’s micro climate (which gets 30 per cent less rain) and built Domaine de Chaberton in 1981. Now home to the popular Bachus Bistro, the beautiful winery is the biggest of the bunch. Down

Blackwood Lane Winery is a winding driveway that opens up to a hillside vista that serves up delicious reds, including one Bordeaux blend that fetches for around $100. Vista D’oro is dedicated to providing the ultimate agritourism experience with a bounty of artisan preserves and delicious reds including the new to be released “F Bomb.” Backyard Vineyards

is tabling its Nosey Neighbour series to wine enthusiasts, and spreading its wings selling to Alberta. The price point is under $20, the wine easy sipping and they are hoping to grow their presence. Fort Wine Co. is an established fruit winery in Fort Langley, using its own cranberries to bottle some popular wines. Krause Berry Winery is also a fruit winery, new to the group, offering a unique tasting experience as you saddle up to the bar and taste the fruits of their bounty in cowboy boot shot glasses.

Gym measures child’s development Little Gym of Langley studies kids’ physical, emotional and social development KRISTYL CLARK Times Contributor

Erin Cebula, Global BC

When it comes to milestone achievements, parents often worry whether their child measures up on the playground. The Little Gym of Langley — a physical-based child development centre, located at 6233 200 St. — will soon be providing caregivers with documentation of their youngster’s physical, emotional and social development through its new Victory Skill Growth Tracker. Aside from being able to obtain document proof of their growth, the ‘report card’ helps families celebrate and acknowledge the stepping stones that lead to their child’s accomplishments, both big and small, says the Little Gym of Langley’s owner Amarie Guild. “While we know that parents will appreciate hearing about their children’s achievements, we also believe that meaningful learning is about the journey and not the destination,” said Guild, who is a mother herself. Designed for children ages four months through 12 years, the Little Gym of Langley encompasses a wide range of programs, including: parent/child classes, gymnastics, karate, dance and sports skills development, plus extras like camps, Parents’ Survival Nights and birthday parties. Fun is a big part of the program, however, learning units, designed to take children through a natural progress of physical, emotional and life skills are the core curriculum. The tracker is an extension of the centre’s approach to skill development, notes Guild. “The Victory Skill Growth Tracker allows our instructors to more easily track a child’s skill growth throughout the season and then talk with or send an email to the parent with document proof of their child’s improvement.” Also a Grade two teacher in the Langley School District, Guild sees alltoo-many children who enter the school system ill prepared. “I think the change in full-day Kindergarten has been a challenge,” she said. “It’s important to get children into pre-

Olivia, 8, and Madelynn, 11, show their back bridges at the Little Gym of Langley. The new gym is a physical-based child development centre which documents a child’s physical, emotional and social development. The gym is located at 6233 200 St. Kindergarten programs like ours so they do learn how to wait their turn, listen, line up and just be left alone... all of this stuff really encourages good behaviour for school and sets them up for success.” Recognizing that every child is unique and “intelligent in their own way,’’ the intent of the tracker isn’t to cause a competitive learning environment or raise alarm. “The reason I was attracted to the program is that it’s all about positive reinforcement,” said Guild. “We want to celebrate each child’s success through three -dimensional learning – 1. Get Moving (physical

development), 2. Brain Boost (emotional development) and 3. Citizen Kid (social development. While one kid may be excellent in balancing and co-ordination, another kid may have just had significant improvement in waiting their turn.” Since taking ownership of the centre three years ago, Guild has seen a wide range of children leave the program more confident in their abilities. “We have students here that aren’t necessarily people who would be included in a regular gymnastic program or soccer program because they have other issues, whether it be motor-

skill development delays or a learning disability,” she noted. Even Guild’s two daughters Olivia, 8, and Madelynn, 11, have benefited firsthand from the unique curriculum. “They love it,” she said matter-of-factly. “They’ve been coming to the gym since my eldest was five. They’re both now planning higher-level sports and still want to come to gymnastics class once a week.” Classes at the Little Gym Langley cost around $85 a month and run from September until June.

No holding Rams’ Gilbert-Knorren back Jahlani Gilbert-Knorren doesn’t care what people say, he will chase his dream of playing quarterback in the CFL GARY AHUJA Times Sports

From the start, Jahlani Gilbert-Knorren has had a knack for the end zone. “The first play I ever did in minor football, I got the ball on a toss left and I scored,” he said. “And after that, I just knew that football was what I wanted to do.” Gilbert-Knorren was seven years old. And while his position on the field may be different from when he first started, one thing hasn’t changed: he is still adept at finding the end zone. The first year Langley Rams quarterback, now 21 years old, leads the B.C. Junior Football Conference in touchdowns. Gilbert-Knorren, a dual/ threat equally accomplished in throwing for a score or running on his own, had 14 touchdown passes and then another 10 along the ground he has scored himself. It is a big reason the Rams find themselves in first place at 5-1 with four weeks to go in the regular season. “If you could handcraft a quarterback and put him on your team, that is pretty much what Jahlani is,” raved Rams coach Ted Kirby. “He brings so many things to the team: he brings an energy, leadership, and confidence. “And I mean confidence, not cockiness,” the coach stressed. “There is not a cocky bone in that kid’s body, despite how amazingly gifted he is.”

The fact that GilbertKnorren, who is from Edmonton, is in Langley is for one simple reason: he wants to be a quarterback. Prior to his arrival with the Rams, Gilbert-Knorren spent the past three seasons with the University of Saskatchewan football team. With the Huskies, he was a running back, then a quarterback, and then finally a receiver. But quarterback is his calling. “I am in control all the time and I feel like I can be more of a leader and I can help my team more from there than any other spot on the field,” Gilbert-Knorren said. He also wants to work on his craft to get to the next level. “I want to be a quarterback in the CFL, which I know is impossible, but it is my dream,” Gilbert-Knorren said. “I am willing to work as hard as it takes, give up whatever it takes, do whatever sacrifice is needed, to become a quarterback in the CFL.” While he has the athleticism and the talent to play in the league, people have told him that his best best to be a pro is either as a safety or receiver. “I’m looking for what makes me happy and I don’t get the same feeling playing another position on the field,” GilbertKnorren said. The last Canadian to start a game in the league at quarterback was Giulio Caravatta, with the B.C. Lions back in 1996. Langley was the fourth and

final BCFC camp GilbertKnorren visited. “I saw the program they had and sat down with the coaches; it was the perfect fit,” he described. It also helped that he was joining a team which made it all the way to the Canadian Bowl championship game. Since arriving in Langley, Gilbert-Knorren has tried to focus more on improving as a pocket passer. “I have been working on being a pass-first guy and seeing how strong our offensive line is, I definitely get to work on that because I have so much time in the pocket that I don’t really have to run,” he said. “I feel more comfortable in the pocket (so) hopefully this is going to give me a chance to develop as a passer.” It also helps that GilbertKnorren is playing on the league’s top offensive team. The Rams average 48.5 points per game. They also lead the league in rushing and passing. Through six games, GilbertKnorren has completed 53 per cent of his passes (76-for142) for 1,307 yards. He has thrown 14 touchdowns and seven interceptions. And on the ground, he has rushed for 349 yards on 46 carries, a 7.6 average, and scored a leaguebest 10 touchdowns. Prior to coming to Langley this summer, Gilbert-Knorren did have the opportunity to practise with the Edmonton Eskimos as part of their practice roster. He called it an amazing experience getting direction from the Edmonton coaching staff and getting pointers from the Eskimos quarterbacking tandem of Mike Reilly and Matt Nichols.

Stamps defence pitches shutout Two games into the season and the Langley Stampeders defence is proving tough to beat. The midget football team has posted a pair of convincing wins — 20-4 over the North Surrey Bears and 37-0 over the White Rock South Surrey Titans — to open B.C. Midget Football League play. The win over the Titans was Sunday at McLeod Athletic Park. The Stampeders were up 14-0 at the half as quarterback Cory McMurchy hooked up with receiver Brad Atkinson for a pair of scores. The first was on a 71-yard pass-and-run play in which Atkinson broke two tackles on his way to the end zone. The second score came on a 34-yard touchdown reception.

The rest of the half saw Langley struggle, especially with penalties, as they had two scores wiped out by infractions. And while the second half was better, head coach Shane Thompson was still concerned. “We have to figure out what it takes to be a good team,” he said. “There are plenty of very good players on this team, but taking penalties at the rate we are taking them brings a good team down to mediocrity pretty quick. “These are all great kids who want to play and do the right thing; the second half was a huge step for them in becoming a good football team.” The Stampeders opened the second half with a 79-yard drive which was capped by

a 21-yard run from Reagan Doucette. And then after the defence forced a punt, Langley went on another long drive, this time 83 yards, with McMurchy scoring from four yards. Devon DaCosta rounded out the scoring with another rushing touchdown while the defence forced the Titans to concede a safety. The defence proved too much for the Titans. Wonjae Boo led the team with two sacks and six tackles, while Evan York, Austin Buss, Chris Schwartz and Conner Griffith limited the Titans to 64 yards rushing. The defensive backfield of Steven Smith, David Fredo and Justin Brown combined to allow just three completions.

Be Wild Animal Aware Langley Township is full of wildlife WARNING Langley has a large habitat and people share the area with deer population animals including bears, cougars, and USE CAUTION ON ROADS coyotes. Residents throughout Langley need not be continually on alert, but action can be taken to deter wild animals if they are spotted in your area. Parents should teach children what to do if they encounter these animals, especially if they play by themselves in areas that wildlife frequent or have been seen in the past. To help people coexist with creatures that are simply trying to survive but can be dangerous if provoked, the following information is offered:

Bears: are very active this time of year as they search for food to fatten up for hibernation. Bears have a keen sense of smell and garbage and other food sources could easily attract a bear to your neighbourhood. Once they get a taste of human food, bears may not want to go back to natural food sources and could lose their fear of people. A bear’s movement is mostly dictated by food availability, so if it is not available, the bear will move on. Langley has had bear sightings this year. Please do your part to prevent human/wildlife conflict and keep bears from having to be destroyed. If you encounter a bear, do not run. Act big and loud, and back away slowly to a safe place.

Cougars: can have kittens throughout the year and family groups can

be seen at any time. Cougars survive on natural food sources found in the wild, primarily deer.

Cougar attacks on humans are highly unlikely. However, if you encounter a cougar, do not run. Pick children up immediately and talk to the cougar in a confident voice. Act big by waving sticks and branches, and back away slowly while still facing the cougar. If it attacks, fight back.

Coyotes: have the largest population of potentially dangerous

wildlife in the area and can be seen year round, even in residential areas. Family groups have been regularly seen around Langley. Coyotes are bold and easily lose their natural fear of people. Never feed a coyote. If you encounter a coyote, scare it off by making loud noise or throwing something at it to make it afraid. Never ignore a coyote. If it continues to approach, do not run. Maintain eye contact, pick up small pets or children, and slowly move to an area of increased activity.

In Residential Areas: Reduce the smell of food by keeping barbecues clean. Keep pet food inside. Garbage is the biggest attraction for bears so keep it secure and inaccessible to wildlife. Do not leave garbage cans out overnight: keep them in the house, a locked garage, or secured outbuilding that cannot be broken into by large, smart bears. Put them out only on the morning of collection. If you are worried about odour, keep garbage in the freezer until collection day. Do not use bird feeders, as they attract bears and the birds do not need seeds when other natural food sources are available.

In Agricultural Areas: Protect your investment by keeping fences secure and free of damage that predators can use for access. Coyotes burrow, so ensure surrounding netting goes deep into the ground. Use electric fencing to deter bears from blueberries and beehives, and pick berries and fruit as they ripen. Be vigilant with livestock and keep them secure. Farm animals are usually killed at night, so bring them inside in the evening. It is an offence to attract wildlife into a residential neighbourhood. Those who do not take steps to deter bears and other wild creatures can face a fine of up to $575.

Spartans start soccer season with split Trinity Western defeats Fraser Valley 2-1 but falls 4-0 to Victoria After opening the season with a 2-1 victory over the UFV (Fraser Valley) Cascades, the Trinity Western Spartans fell flat in game two, losing 4-0 to the host Victoria Vikes. “It was a disappointing loss; we were a step late today and didn’t really wake up throughout the entire match,” said Spartans men’s soccer coach Pat Rohla. The Spartans were on the road for both games to open the Canada West season. On Friday, in Chilliwack, Dominic Reinold opened the scoring in the 18th minute and Carlos Del Aguila doubled the lead in the 33rd minute. The Cascades’ Jordan Tipton cut the lead in half in the 64th minute, converting a penalty kick off a hand ball call. It was the only shot which eluded Spartans keeper Evan Lowther, who finished with a pair of saves.

“We gave them hope by not winning second balls,” Rohla said. “We know UFV will work hard, and they did, and they put us under pressure in the second half. “We have to have the resolve to finish our chances when we get them.” But overall, the coach was happy with the first game, noting some solid performances. Against Victoria on Sunday, the Vikes’ Cam Hundal scored in the 33rd minute. Kurt Macauley made it 2-0 in the 70th minute and the Vikes blew the game open with goals from Hundal — on a penalty kick — and Cameron Stokes in penalty time. The Spartans were under siege much of the game as Victoria fired 20 shots at the TWU net, including a dozen that were on target. Lowther made eight saves. Trinity Western faces a tough home-and-home series with the UBC Thunderbirds. The teams play in Vancouver on Friday and then back at Rogers Field on the TWU campus on Saturday. Both games are at 7 p.m.

Langley Rugby Club’s Kolby Brezden looks to shake a would-be Richmond tackler during First Division action at the LRC’s home field on Saturday.

Under a bright and beautiful sky, the Langley Rugby Club kicked off play for their 44th season on Saturday afternoon. The club hosted Richmond in both First and Second Division action, with the visitors taking both matches. In the first contest, Richmond led 5-0 at the half and the game remained close at 12-10. But a couple of defensive lapses in their structure allowed Richmond to capitalize with the game’s final 10 points and a 22-10 victory. “When we were doing the basics well, we kept possession and moved forward consistently,” said Langley coach Rob Hayes, adding, however that fitness was an issue. He also added that the team will need some time to become familiar with one another because of all the new faces. Fly half Stan Garcia and scrum half Ryan Yeomans had the tries for the home side. Yeomans and Trevor Steamo were named men of the match for Langley. Brian Anderson had a strong game in a defensive effort.

The First Division side did not fare much better as they dropped a 25-14 decision. “It was a winnable game,” Hayes said. “We have a lot of talent, but we need to simplify our tactics and we’ll see success.” Langley struggled with some early-season errors, but controlled much of the first half with fly half Stu Morrison giving the team good field position with his kicking. But while Richmond scored a pair of tries, Langley was only able to counter with a pair of penalty kicks from Sean Messenger, making it 10-6 at the half. And the trend continued in the second half, with Richmond scoring a converted try and a penalty, while Langley countered with another Messenger three points off his boot to make it 20-9. Langley finally crossed the goal-line when prop Dustin Dickson bulled his way in for the try after a huge run from Richard Pearce. Richmond scored one final try for the 25-14 win. Pearce also earned player of the game honours.

Junior bantam Bears beat Mission, peewee team suffer shutout loss The North Langley Bears rolled to a convincing 32-6 victory over the Mission 9ers at McLeod Athletic Park on Saturday in junior bantam football action, Jacob Stebbings connected with receiver Alex Henderson for two touchdowns and Pablo Wigwigan ran for three more scores. Wigwigan had a total 183 yards on 10 carries while Caleb Neilsen carried the ball six times for 66

more. On defence Liam Jeffrey was a standout, spending most of the game in the Mission backfield in pursuit of the quarterback. North Langley’s Trevor Paulenz and Connor Hurley each picked off a Mission pass as the Bears evened their record at one win and one loss on the season. ••••• The North Langley peewee Bears were in tough in their season opener, falling 25-0 to the Mission 9ers at

McLeod Athletic Park on Saturday. Despite a significant size disadvantage, the Bears played the powerhouse Mission team tough. Jaxon Stebbing and Zachary Heathfield led the way with some impressive runs on offense and some solid tackles on defense. Despite the great size difference, Josh Patrick and Ronil Chand made a lot of nice blocks on the line and some great tackles in the backfield.

On Aug. 22 the Greater Vancouver Zoo launched their new “Zoo Experience”. In partnership with Abbotsford-based Jelly Marketing, the Aldergrove facility hosted a large group of families at the launch of the zoo’s brand new Zoo 3.0 website and e-learning experience. The invited families included “parenting bloggers” such as Langley’s Kristyl Clark of She’s a Valley Mom (www.shesavalleymom. com) and Ricky Shetty of Daddy Blogger (www. daddyblogger.ca). Both Clark, who also writes Pink Laundry, a parenting column, for the Langley Times and Shetty said they were impressed by the family-friendly Zoo 3.0 interactive features. The partnership has brought an updated look and feel to the zoo’s website (www.gvzoo.com), completely re-designed and re-organized. Visitors will experience larger, more colourful photos throughout and get the

information they are looking for faster. The new website features Zoo 3.0, an allaccess e-learning portal complete with rare footage and facts about the zoo’s featured animals, such as the macaw, grizzly bear, hippopotamus, Siberian tiger, Oregon spotted frog and muskox. “We designed the website with kids in mind,” says Jelly Marketing’s lead strategist, Darian Kovacs. “We are so excited to take the zoo experience to the next level.” New interactive elements include the public’s ability to post Instagram photos and Tweets about their experiences at the zoo to the zoo’s website. Zoo staff will also be posting their own blogs on the website. “We’re so excited to be able to provide an additional educational element to our zoo and ensure we engage with our guests young and old,” said general manager Jody Henderson. “Thanks to technology we’re able to do that.”

CAR CARE & REPAIR

Simple Ways to Extend the life of your vehicle The average new car now costs $30,500. That's a considerable expense, especially at a time when fuel costs remain high and cost of living continues to rise. Because new cars have become so expensive, more and more vehicle owners are looking for ways to extend the life of their vehicles. The longer a car can stay on the road, the better an investment that vehicle becomes. Fortunately, there are several life extending steps vehicle owners can take. • Scale back on short trips. The toll cold starts take on a vehicle can add up over time. When a car is started, condensation builds up in the vehicle's exhaust system. On longer trips, that condensation will gradually evaporate. However, on short trips, that condensation often does not have enough time to evaporate, and over time too many short trips will lead to an accumulation of water in the muffler that can lead to rust and rust holes on the muffler. Short trips also can negatively affect gas mileage. When possible, leave your car at home on trips into town when you can just as easily walk or ride a bicycle. Over time, reducing the amount of short trips you take in your car will greatly reduce wear and tear on your vehicle and improve your fuel efficiency as well. • Stick to the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule.

The Honda

MODEL

CLEAROUT

Adhering to your vehicle's maintenance schedule serves many purposes, including improving the its durability and protecting various components, including its cooling system and drivetrain. While many manufacturers used to recommend changing a vehicle's oil every 3,000 miles, many of today's newer automobiles need their oil changed less frequently. Check your owner's manual for manufacturer recommendations regarding oil changes, and don't forget to replace the oil filter when changing your vehicle's oil. • Pay attention to brake pads. Brake pads that are allowed to wear down can cause damage to the brakes' rotors and calipers. That damage can prove costly and make things harder on your vehicle. Keep an eye on your vehicle's brake pads, which are far less expensive to replace than rotors and calipers, and do not allow them to wear down to metal. • Keep your tires properly inflated. Tires that are under-inflated will negatively impact your vehicle's fuel efficiency. In addition, the tires' life expectancy is reduced considerably when tires are not properly inflated. Routinely check your tire pressure, especially if you drive a lot, and keep tires inflated at the pressure recommended in your vehicle's owner's manual. • Be mindful when filling up your tank. Many people do not pay much

attention to their surroundings when pulling into the filling station. But when you fill up can impact your car's life expectancy. Perhaps the worst time to fill your tank is when the fuel tanker is in the gas station refilling the underground tanks. That's because the process of filling the underground tanks can stir up sediment that had settled at the bottom of those tanks. If that sediment finds its way into your vehicle's gas tank, it can clog filters and fuel injectors and negatively affect the vehicle's performance. So unless your car is running on empty, avoid refilling its gas tank when the tanker is still in the station. • Take care of your vehicle's interior, too. Caring for a car is not just about being good to what's under the hood. Caring for the car's interior will not necessarily impact its performance, but a well-kept interior will improve how you look at your vehicle and how much you enjoy driving it. The longer you enjoy driving your vehicle, the longer you are likely to keep it. Preserve the vehicle's door and window seals; clean the dashboard, including the gauges, vacuum the floor mats; and wipe down the vehicle's interior, whether it's cloth or leather. Keeping up the appearance of the car's interior will make the vehicle more enjoyable to drive and increase its value at resale.
