House arrest for Jepsen hacker Son of Langley Township councillor given four-month conditional sentence for cyber attack on pop star VIKKI HOPES Black Press

Christopher David Long received four months house arrest for a cyber attack on superstar Cary Rae Jepsen. Judge Jill Rounthwaite sentenced Long, 25, of Abbotsford to a four-month condi-

tional sentence (house arrest) and one year of probation for the two offences to which he pleaded guilty — mischief to data and possession of stolen property. Rounthwaite said it was challenging to come up with a sentence, because this was the first case of its kind in

Canada. But she said she believed a “term of imprisonment” was necessary to adequately address the principles of deterrence and denunciation. Long is the son of longtime Township Councillor Bob Long. Rounthwaite accepted Crown lawyer Rob Macgowan’s recommendation of four months’ house arrest. The court heard that Long began hacking into Jepsen’s email and social media accounts in March 2012, when she and then-boyfriend

Long changed passwords, posted vulgar messages, made veiled threats to Ashworth, and downloaded material that included Jepsen’s recording contract, tour schedule, videos, two song recordings and several photos, including two that were “sensitive and highly personal.” Long sent those two pictures to celebrity gossip website TMZ, suggesting possibly selling them. continued, PAGE 3

After a short standoff, the Emergency Response Team was able to arrest a man on Saturday morning in Langley City. He was one of two suspects in a home invasion and robbery of an elderly Langley couple. Acting on a tip from a member of the public, Langley RCMP went to an apartment building in the 5300 block of 206 Street, where Brody Muncey was believed to be living, on Saturday morning. On Friday, Langley RCMP put out a public notice announcing an arrest warrant had been issued for Muncey. He was the second suspect identified in a Sept. 9 home invasion and robbery of Brody an elderly Langley Muncey couple. Out of an abundance of caution, some residents of neighbouring units were temporarily moved outside. A short standoff ensued, but after a few minutes Muncey was arrested without further incident. Police allege that Muncey and his partner Shawne Isinger, 36, also of Langley, broke into the partially open sliding door of a second floor apartment occupied by a 78-year-old woman and 79-year-old man. They robbed the couple and fled. The victims called 911 and within minutes police and a police dog were there. The forensic unit identified the two suspects and Isinger was arrested a short time later by the RCMP street enforcement unit. Muncey was also found to be the subject of outstanding arrest warrants for robbery and use of an imitation firearm. Both suspects remain behind bars.

Deal announced to preserve 25 unsold acres of Glen Valley Trinity Western University uses donated funds to purchase property from Township DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

The fate of a 25-acre parcel of Langley Township forest land has been decided with the announcement Wednesday (Sept. 11) of a $2.5 million deal that sees Trinity Western University (TWU) buying the property from the Township using donated money from the Blaauw family. TWU has promised no housing will be built on the site. Money to purchase the Glen Valley Gray Pit Lands in the McLellan Park Forests on 257A Street was donated by Ann Blaauw and children John, Janet, and Jennifer, in memory of their late husband and father, Thomas Blaauw, a long-time resident of Langley who passed away in August of 2012. The agreement between the university and the Township includes a restrictive covenant which only allows buildings that “enhance the use of the conservation area on the property” in the words of a TWU press release. Under the terms of the covenant, the Township and general public are to have access to the site for environmental research, education, and recreational purposes. Located near 84 Avenue and 260 Street, the 25 acres were placed on the market by the Township in January of this year to help fund a new community centre, swimming pool and ice rink in Aldergrove. It was the Township’s second attempt at selling land in Glen Valley after a plan to market 21 acres of Township-owned forest on 84 Avenue between 252 and 254 Streets was cancelled in July

An aerial view of Glen Valley shows the Gray Pit lands — surrounded by McLellan Forest — which has been purchased from the Township of Langley by Trinity Western University for $2.5 million. TWU has promised no housing will be built on the site. of 2012 because of a campaign by Watchers of Langley Forests (WOLF), a residents’ group that has been campaigning to preserve the entire forest region. On Monday (Sept. 16), WOLF issued a press release praising the people behind the purchase. “It is incredibly uplifting that the Blaauw family would be so generous to enable this key part of Langley’s natural heritage to be preserved forever,” said Petrina Arnason, WOLF board member. Arnason said the family intervened after WOLF tried and failed to raise the money to purchase and preserve the property. “That’s when Mrs. Ann Blaauw from PAGE 1

came to the rescue,” said Arnason. “She called one of our members and expressed interest in purchasing the forest so it could be protected for future generations.” Township Mayor Jack Froese said the sale agreement will keep the land in its natural state for “generations to come.” “This is a wonderful outcome that will benefit the entire community and the environment,” Froese said in a written statement issued Wednesday. “People in our community made it very clear that they valued this land and felt it should be conserved,” he added.

ing photos and videos — related to her. Long is permitted to leave his home only for work, school, medical emergencies and reasons approved by his supervisor. Ashworth was in attendance at the ruling. Speaking outside the courthouse, he said he was happy with the sentence and relieved that the matter was over.

Councillor Michelle Sparrow expressed concern the deal could still allow the property to be developed in the future. Sparrow said because the restrictive covenant only applies to the deal and not to the land, if the university sells the land in the future, the new owners could build housing on the site. The Township does have the right of first refusal to buy the land back if TWU ever decides to sell, but if the municipal budget is too tight, the 25 acres could be sold to someone else who would have every legal right to build houses, Sparrow warned. “That to me is a large loophole,” Sparrow said.

“It was difficult. “It still is. There’s a lot of emotion involved in this, a lot of pain. It was scary to leave your house and wonder who’s out there,” he said. Ashworth said he felt like he was being bullied by Long, and he wants this case to provide a broader message than just the impacts of Internet hacking or celebrity stalking.

Sparrow said it wasn’t clear to her why the restrictive covenant was not applied to the land to ensure any future owners would have to preserve the property. “The question becomes, why not do that?” Sparrow said. The TWU announcement of the deal notes a fourth-year environmental university science student recently discovered two species-at-risk in the forest; the Red-Legged frog and the Pacific Side Band snail. A dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Blaauw lands has been set for Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 4 p.m. on 257A Street. It will be open to the public.

Pop star Carly Rae Jepsen was the victim of a cyber stalker. Christopher David Long has been sentenced to four months house arrest.

met piece can also be found on the cenotaph at the Fort Langley Cemetery. Both structures were put up in 1921. Over the years, plaques have been added to the cenotaphs to commemorate those who fell in other conflicts. Several years ago, the bronze ornament was stolen from the Fort Langley cenotaph and the piece in Murrayville was used as a model to create a replacement. Now, the Fort Langley bronze will have to be used to make a new piece for the Murrayville cenotaph, if it is not returned. “We’d like to find it, and ask

that anyone with information leading to it to call the Langley RCMP,” Bunnett said. The bronze piece needs to be returned or replaced by Nov. 11, as members of the community gather at the Murrayville cenotaph each year for an informal Remembrance Day ceremony. Originally established by Independent Order of Odd Fellows (Cloverdale Lodge No. 15), the cemetery was created in 1891 and was later known as Langley Prairie Cemetery before becoming the Murrayville Cemetery. It is the final resting place for close to 4,000 people.

In a brazen show of disrespect, a thief has stolen a 92-year-old bronze memorial made to honour Langley soldiers who lost their lives in the First World War. The bronze ornament adorned the cenotaph in the Murrayville Cemetery. It depicts two crossed rifles and a helmet and was created in 1921. Cemetery staff noticed the bronze piece missing on Wednesday, Sept. 4, but it’s unclear when it was stolen. Township of Langley Cemetery Supervisor Kevin Bunnett said he was showing the family of a veteran the cenotaph when he saw that the bronze ornament was gone. The discovery coincidentally came at the same time news reports surfaced about a number of bronze vases that were stolen from South Surrey’s Victory Memorial Park. Police were looking for a Langley woman after some of the vases were brought in to a metal recycler. “It is disrespectful, big time,” Bunnett said of the theft, adding that there have been very few problems with theft or vandalism at the Murrayville Cemetery. Located at 21405 44 Ave., the graveyard is surrounded by “good neighbours” who are conscientious about reporting problems to the Township or RCMP, he said. The cenotaph is located at the far end of the cemetery and the bronze adornment was attached to the north side of the structure, facing away from the rest of the graveyard, making it difficult to see. Staff don’t know how long the piece has been missing, but have reported the theft to the Langley RCMP. A twin of the rifle and hel-

Police in Langley have arrested and charged the man believed to be responsible for a Sept. 5 break-in of an elderly woman’s home at a seniors’ living and care facility. Liban Mohamud Shire, 22, of no fixed address, was arrested and is scheduled to appear in Surrey Provincial Court on Sept. 20. He is charged with break and enter and unlawful confinement.

Police allege a man entered a second storey unit as an 87-year-old woman was preparing for bed at her Magnolia Gardens home on Glover Road in Langley City. She found the man hiding in her residence and he knocked her to the ground. He told her he only wanted food. However, he led her to the bedroom where she was able to activate the emergency alarm. He fled through the balcony door. RCMP’s Forensic Identification Section was able to gather

evidence leading to the identification of a possible suspect. Shire is known to have links to other western provinces, including arrest warrants in Saskatchewan for possession of stolen property, unlawful confinement and robbery. “The safety and security of our senior citizens are a priority to both police and our community. This investigation has been a priority for Langley RCMP and we are extremely pleased with the progress to date,” said Langley RCMP Insp. Murray Power.

Hydro rate increases

Cross-border thoughts

eaked documents indicate that BC Hydro is planning a 26 per cent rate increase over the next two years. While the BC Liberal government says the rate hike will not be that high, this is at least the third time in the past year that there has been indications of a massive BC Hydro rate increase in the works. There are several concerns about this, whether the 26 per cent increase comes to fruition or not. It’s no secret that Hydro has to come up with billions of dollars to continue to upgrade the electrical utility system it operates. The infrastructure, some of which goes back to the 1960s or earlier, needs attention. Hydro also wants to build the Site C dam on the Peace River, which would cost billions in itself. At the same time, Hydro has been handicapped by the BC Liberal government in two very important areas. First, it has been required to make massive dividend payments to the province, its only shareholder. These have been used to keep the provincial budget from dipping deeper into the red. While there may be some justification for the province occasionally taking a dividend from Hydro, the size and regularity of its demands are unprecedented. When a corporation needs to raise billions for capital projects, it makes sense that dividends be cut back or even eliminated. If Hydro was a private sector corporation, that is likely what it would be doing, in order to have at least some of its own cash to spend on infrastructure. In addition, the dividends are highly political. They are used to keep the deficit down and allow politicians to boast about B.C.’s low income tax rate. This boast ignores everincreasing Hydro, ICBC and Medical Service Premium rates, all of which must be paid by most B.C. residents. The other handicap Hydro has is that it has been forced to buy run-ofriver power from small contractors at rates far in excess of what it costs to produce its own power. Thus Hydro ratepayers are subsidizing private power developers. There is nothing wrong with private power, but it should be developed when economical to do so — not because a higher than market rate is guaranteed. The provincial government needs to stop interfering in Hydro’s business, and let it run the electric utility in the efficient manner which has generally been the case since its formation in 1961.

Hundreds of thousands of vehicles cross the border in our region every year, with many of them heading south of the 49th parallel to seek out the best deals possible on everything from new TVs to cheese. From a purely personal economic viewpoint, it’s understandable. The price difference, especially with the Canadian dollar sitting near par, can be phenomenal. A recent study by the Business Council of B.C. found that the price difference on cheese, for example, is up to 60 per cent cheaper in the U.S. That same study found that in 2012, as much as $2.6 billion from the province was spent in cross-border shopping. People who cross-border shop will point out that you can’t argue the economics of it. For many, times could be considered tough at the moment. Some area storefronts are empty. Some people don’t have jobs, and yet the people who routinely take their money across the border don’t seem to be able to relate their actions to the local economy. Money that stays in your community tends to have a multiplier effect. You spend $5 at a local merchant, that merchant uses that $5 at another merchant and so on, generating much more value with each transaction. Taking your money out of the community does just that — it removes the money from the community. This is not to berate those who shop across the border occasionally. It is to thank those who have given the cross-border shopping situation some thought. Congratulations on being a thoughtful, community-minded driver of the local economy. —Kootenay News Advertiser The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Many made Cruise-In happen What misinformation? Editor: The Langley CruiseIn has come and gone, and a dedicated group of volunteers have a chance to sit and reflect on their accomplishments. That group is the collection of selfless individuals who band together to organize the Langley Cruise-In. They sit and analyze what was done, what they didn’t do, what they could have done better, and then they start planning for next year. The 2013 Cruise-In attracted 910 registered cars and about 75,000 people to the streets of Langley. It was quite something to see the hordes of cars lining up in the rain in the wee hours of Saturday morning when we worried about a rain-out. It was gratifying to see the rain stop and see the sun break through and make such a perfect day for the crowds who came for the show. This is our opportunity to express our appreciation and to say thank you. There are so many people to thank, from individuals to businesses to corporations and the City, that it takes a public forum such as this to accomplish it. In the coming weeks we will be able to report the actual amount of money raised by the show and all of that will be donated to charities in our immediate area. Stay tuned. To start, the board of directors of the Langley Cruise-In want to say thank you to the City of Langley. Without the unwavering support of the City, this could just never work. We also get incredible support from the media — especially from the local newspapers who report and help to promote the show, but also the radio and TV stations that remind people of the show. We cannot live without them. The general public learn from these businesses about the details and the benefits of the show. Thank you for understanding the need for this and for reporting it.

Editor: In reference to the rambling letter (The Times, Sept. 12) from Misty VanPopta concerning the Coulter Berry issue: She claims the petition was “riddled with misleading information,” but declines to offer details. What was the misinformation? As for her statement that the petition was “padded with hundreds of names of people who do not live in Fort Langley,” I’m sure that people other than residents of the Fort have an interest in what amounts to a sullying of the appearance of the place

known to all as the Birthplace of British Columbia. Surely that title gives Fort Langley the right, and indeed the responsibility, to maintain its heritage appearance. Many of those “outsider”petitioners I’m sure will be people who visit, and return, precisely because of the quality of the village’s heritage. I would add this. Shame on the Langley Township council vote that approved this venture in the face of so much well-reasoned local (and outside) opposition. Don Hunter, Fort Langley

Lack of interest in work Editor: I’m a bit mystified. I’m the owner of a well-established retail store in Langley. Over the past several years, the business has grown to the point that I’m ready to hire some extra help. I am offering a full-time sales job within the store. I am offering more than minimum wage with an incentive bonus structure. The ideal candidate would have a can-do attitude, great customer service skills, the desire to learn on the job and the ability to pitch in wherever needed. Too much to ask? I didn’t think so. I have placed ads in various different job-related internet venues, both government and private sector. In recent weeks I’ve been reviewing the resumés I received, and scheduled interviews with

nine of the most promising applicants. Of the nine candidates offered interviews, only one showed up for her appointment. Not a single word from the eight others. Why am I mystified? I thought there was a shortage of available jobs, and I thought I would be deluged with applications. It seemed like a great idea to offer full-time employment to those looking for work. Apparently I’m naive. So much for the lack of work in B.C. If anyone is interested in the above described position, they can give me a call at 604-7886010. Paul Baker, Poco Military Outdoor Supplies, Langley

Richter had concerns about farm bylaw Editor: Regarding your article on the blueberry cannon bylaw FOI request, (The Times, Sept. 5), I think it is important for Township residents to know that Councillor Kim Richter voted against the farm bylaw as proposed, because it did not go far enough to curb noise and resolve safety issues on neighbouring horse farms, not

because she approves the use of cannons. This type of support for longterm residents is going to be a critical requirement, come local elections next year. The remaining members of council could do well to follow Richter’s lead. J. Anderson, Langley

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth the adjudication from PAGE 8

The officer agreed that his photos show my car was parked in such a way to leave enough room for pedestrians to get by, but said he ticketed all vehicles parked there to be consistent. Another bylaw officer told the adjudicator it was the duty of Township residents to be familiar with all bylaws. This makes no sense â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no one knows every detail of all the bylaws, including members of council and bylaw officers. There are far too many bylaws for any-

one to be fully familiar with every detail in all of them. The adjudicator asked a number of questions about the absence of signs. He was told that the engineering department had been made aware of the residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns, but has not put up signs on 202A Street and has no plans to do so any time soon. He threw my ticket out. I appreciated the ability to point out the circumstances of the case, and I urge anyone else who gets a ticket to challenge it, if the circumstances sur-

Smart meter extortion

rounding it are as unclear and confusing as the ones I faced. If you challenge a ticket and lose at the adjudication hearing, you must pay another $25 towards the cost of the process. The Township informs you of this when you first challenge the ticket. In my case, I was quite prepared to pay that additional fee because I felt the ticket was unfair, and I wanted to have my say. Others may simply prefer to pay the ticket â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and given the few people who were at the adjudication session, it seems thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what most people do.

Editor: BC Hydro is extorting those opposed to having a smart meter on their property. It wants $35 per month to keep an analogue meter, or $20 per month plus a $100 set-up fee in order to install a radio-off meter. I find the whole premise of charging me for a service I am not receiving to be highway robbery. I am currently on the equal payment plan with a yearly reconciliation of actual cost once a year. This is just a concerted effort on their part to force everyone on to the smart meter program, so at some point they can start to introduce â&#x20AC;&#x153;time of useâ&#x20AC;? billing.

CURB APPEAL

With the holiday season just around the corner, many homeowners are looking to give their abode a fresh fall facelift. Interior renovations are popular this time of year, but why not add some curb appeal? After all, the exterior of your home is what makes or breaks the first impression. Fortunately, curb appeal is an area of improvement that can pack a big punch with minimal effort or cost. You also don’t have to be a handyman to get the job done. Check out these four simple, inexpensive improvements for your home-sweet-home. DOORS/ENTRANCE WAY The front entranceway forms guests’ first impression, which is why you’ll want to make it a lasting one. Amanda Ferraby, a head office associate of Windsor Plywood in Langley suggests a fresh coat of paint and new hardware (door handles, hinges, kick plates, door viewers, etc.) for an updated look that won’t break the bank. Keep in mind; they’ll only be appropriate if the door and frame are in good working order. “Door hardware manufacturers follow the trends so homeowners can update the hardware with today’s popular finishes and styles,” she said, also noting simple updates aren’t just about visual appeal. Today’s homeowners have a much wider range of door styles and types to choose from than back when their home was first built. Farraby notes that selection may be somewhat limited depending on the size of the original door. “If you aren’t replacing the frame, the new door will have to match the old one in size,” she said. “Our door shops can machine the replacement to ensure hinges and locks line up with the existing frame. Installation is usually very sim-

ple and requires minimal constructions skills.” As houses age they settle, which often results in warped door frames. While one can purchase custom-size doors, finding one to match and out-of-square door frame will prove impossible. “We don’t build crooked doors,” said Ferraby, who suggests replacing the entire unit if it’s warping. While replacing the frame may seem like a big expenditure, but it could save you money. “Replacing the complete door unit, including the frame, allows homeowners (space permitting) to add sidelights and transoms, upgrade to the latest in energy efficient technology, convert to single to double door or other configurations with no limitations on selection,” explained Ferraby. With ongoing building code changes, always check current code requirements and not rely on old information, she adds.

turn heads or make your neighbours green with envy. One of the most affordable and effective ways to add curb appeal for fall is through foliage and flowers. Plant expert Shelley Levis of Milner Village Garden Center says many homeowners are looking to make a big impact on their curb appeal are picking up their gardening gloves. “It really is the quickest and most inexpensive way if you’re trying to stage a special event, sell your home or welcome guests for the Thanksgiving is to add some colourful flowers and foliage.” A great place to begin is with mums, she adds, noting they are a popular filler flower that comes in a wide spectrum of hues. “They are extremely colourful this time of year and are a great replacement to the annuals or baskets from the summer – they’ll really add that instant pop of colour.” As for height, there are various grasses that could be mixed into your garden like millet. Millet is a rich dark plum colour that couples well with burnt orange mums “It really is a classic colour combo,” said Levis.

TREES/SHRUBS Lining your yard with lush shrubbery can make a big differ-

ence when it comes to curb appeal. In addition to making it look clean, polished and inviting, it can increase your property value, according to Russ Bruce, the owner of Cedar Rim Nursery in Langley. “Landscaping can add up to five percent in value of your property – it also shortens your length of sales time,” he noted. Also functional, a shrub could be planted to give you privacy from your neighbours. Two popular trees to consider planting this fall are the Sugar Maple and Dogwood. The Sugar Maple offers vibrant red, orange or yellow end-of-the-season leaves and grows up to 70 feet tall. Dogwood is great to have yearround, but can add gorgeous purple and red tones during the autumn months. A must-have shrub for this time of year is the Amur Maple, which can be small or large (depending on how you prune it). You’ll love the bright robust red leaves that appear in the fall. ~ Kristyl Clark, Times Reporter

Upcycling: turning trash into treasure Everyone has heard the adage “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” This has never been more true with the recent trend to “upcycle”, or turn something that may no longer be useful into something new. “Upcycling is the act of taking an unused item and literally turning it into an item you will use,” says Amber Bosma, marketing manager for UsedEverywhere.com. “Essentially you take something that’s no longer wanted or needed and turn it into something fabulous.” Almost anything can be upcycled, from old furniture to clothing to construction materials. “I think the most popular upcycle I’ve seen lately involves pallets,” says Bosma. “I’ve seen pallets turned into garden swings, into bed frames and into beautiful coffee tables!” Other creative projects include turning old clothing into pillows (or a dog bed for man or woman’s best friends perhaps?), making jars into lanterns or candleholders or updating an old mirror with a new frame or paint. “That bulky old television cabinet turns into a kid’s play kitchen,” suggests Bosma. “The inherited grandfather clock you don’t like but want to keep becomes a stylish shelf.” If craft projects fill your heart with dread or conjure up some bad memories of school projects, you don’t need to worry. Upcyling doesn’t need to be complicated and it doesn’t have to require unlimited creativity. “Use the Internet to follow upcycling blogs for inspiration,” Bosma says. “For example, the UsedEverywhere.com blog has an upcycling series that shows you items that can be found inexpensively or even for free on our websites and then offers several upcycling options for that item.” Pintrest and Facebook are also a great source for upcycling ideas. “Choose good quality items to upcycle,” says Bosma. “The item itself may be ugly, but what’s important is the quality of the material. An upcycle can be as simple as a lick of paint and new handles or as complicated as your imagination allows.” Upcycled items are more than just unique; they’re also much kinder to the environment. “Why throw it away when it can be reused and given a new lease on life?” says Bosma. “If you love unique pieces of furniture then upcycling is the way to go, plus you get to add your own flair if it’s a do-it-yourself project. And best of all, if you’re like me and you love to bag a bargain, upcycling your own items is much cheaper than buying new.” Suddenly spending weekends scouring garage sales sounds much more appealing! You never know what treasures you’ll find or what will inspire your next project. ~ By Kerry Vital, All photos from Lacey Sheardown

Kicking back in your cave When it comes to having a place to relax, a man cave might be the perfect option.

By Kerry Vital Everyone needs a place to escape from the vagaries of everyday life. For some itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a garden or a soothing hot bath. For others, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the â&#x20AC;&#x153;no girls allowedâ&#x20AC;? space called the man cave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A man cave is mainly for sitting, watching and eating,â&#x20AC;? says James Angus, Lower Mainland director of stores for The Brick Group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more seats, the better.â&#x20AC;?

Falling into Thanksgiving decor ideas By Kerry Vital

The new home now includes a garage built like a carriage house, a third storey with dormers and a new balcony and other heritage-style touches. It now perfectly fits in with the beauty of the stream-side location in North Vancouver. Shakespeare Homes photos

North Van home goes from rags to riches Shakespeare Homes took the house down to its broken foundation and rebuilt it into something spectacular. By Kerry Vital William Shakespeare was known for his literary masterpieces. Now a North Vancouver building company that bears his name brings that same attention to detail and zeal for perfection to every project. Mark Cooper, president of Shakespeare

Homes, cites a recent full-house renovation as the perfect example of the work the company does. As a North Vancouver resident himself, Cooper says he and his team love working in the community in which they live and are very familiar with the building restrictions that make North Vancouver and West Vancouver different. The original home was built in the early 1960s, and it looked it. It had two storeys, no space for a garage and just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for the family. However, it was located on a seriously beautiful piece of property, backing onto a creek and with tons of natural greenery surrounding it. It was time to make the house match its surroundings. One of the homeowners had grown up in a heritage

home and had dreamed of living in a similar place as an adult. So, he brought in Cooper and his team to make his dream a reality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a great opportunity for the homeowners and my people to express themselves,â&#x20AC;? Cooper says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just construct something that looks like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from the 1800s, we actually built the home like it would have been then, while meeting todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building codes and ensuring energy efficiency.â&#x20AC;? Working with Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team of professionals, including Susanne Doise of Sensitive Design,

Summer has ended and fall will soon be well-entrenched. With the change of season comes the holidays, new colours and new decor ideas that suit any budget or taste. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest trends for home decor in the fall are the colours and shades,â&#x20AC;? says Ikea Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alicia Zoffranieri. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most popular shades during the fall season and around Thanksgiving are earth tones, such as chocolate brown, grey, black or cream.â&#x20AC;? Pier 1 Imports in-house stylist Aimee Beatty agrees, noting, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about colour, specifically jewel tones in rich textures and distinctive silhouettes.â&#x20AC;? Among the luxurious colours will be deep purples, red and blues, along with nature themes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve brought the outdoors in with decor and accessories inspired by natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beauty and woodland creatures,â&#x20AC;? Beatty says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a lot of vibrant orange or green, and dark lilac or dark blue at Ikea,â&#x20AC;? Zoffranieri says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also trendy this year are patterns with elements of nature, such as trees or leaves.â&#x20AC;? Bouclair Home is also focusing on earth tones for Thanksgiving, including beige and orange. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also seeing gold,

Renovation from top to bottom by the Bard

The Langley Times • Tuesday, September 17, 2013 • 23

“ from page 21 Shakespeare Homes tore the original house down to the broken foundation and began the process of rebuilding it. Among the changes are a third storey and a detached garage for the “man toys” of the homeowner. The garage is built to look like a carriage house, and has its own heat, power and bathroom, making it a true man cave. It’s built with a vaulted cathedral-framed ceiling, making it an architectural masterpiece in itself. The homeowner is planning to install car and motorcycle lifts inside. The biggest challenge that Cooper found while planning and building the home were the strict rules governing the location and the height of the finished product, as well as the regulations around its streamside location. “We weren’t able to move the house within the lot because of the setback restrictions,” Cooper says. “So, we had to renovate and add within the existing perimeter.” When you walk onto the property, the first thing you’ll probably notice is the dormers on the third storey. The heritage influence is readily apparent, and continues with the double-exposure cedar shingles that cover much of the house, the wood double-hung windows and the exposed rafters and soffits. The outdoor space will soon include an outdoor fireplace and seating area, complementing the stone retaining walls that have been constructed to allow greenery to return to the property. Brand-new decks and patios afford the homeowners gorgeous views of the city, something that they didn’t have in the original house. Hand-cut granite is featured throughout the exterior, including a double-wide chimney and front entrance. Inside the house itself, the vaulted ceilings include hand-cut rafters to showcase that heritage charm. “There was a lot of architectural and homeowner design involved,” Cooper says. “There’s real craftsmanship here. Nobody frames like this anymore. It’s very rare.” Even the accessories inside the house are heritagestyle, including an authentic cast-iron claw-foot tub. The character kitchen is built in an open-plan layout with custom millwork and plenty of space to entertain. There is also a suite on the ground level that has its own private entrance. “All of the features and fixtures of the home have been selected to fit that period of time,” Cooper says. The entire renovation took about 14 months, including three months dealing with the variance process. “The house has been appraised well beyond normal market value,” Cooper says. Because Vancouver can be a generally rainy city, what to do with water runoff was an important part of the building process. The city had originally asked Shakespeare to pump the storm water up to the district system on the street. However, that wasn’t an easy thing to accomplish due to the slope of the property. Instead, Cooper designed a water treatment system for the home that collects, stores, filters and then releases the water back into the natural environment surrounding the house. In fact, the district of North Vancouver called the new house a “masterful example of stream-side protection.” Shakespeare prides itself on being a high-quality build-green company, and this is evident in the home. All of the shingles are made from B.C. wood, and much of the other building materials have been sourced locally as well. “It was built with environmental stewardship in mind,” Cooper says. In fact, the old cedar roof system was recycled into several structures, including the table in the meeting room at Shakespeare Homes’ office. The house is unrecognizable from what it started out as. Where it once was in danger of sliding down the steep slope into the stream, the house is now a masterpiece and perfect for the family who lives in it.

New countertops options suit every style and budget

Among the popular options for kitchen countertops right now are quartz and granite, both natural stone products that lend elegance and sophistication to the home. Kitchen Craft photo

By Kerry Vital Long gone are the days of one-size-fits-all kitchen countertops, with your only choice being the colour. Now you can find a wide range of countertop materials and colours to suit your style and budget. Perhaps the most well-known countertop product is laminate. It comes in a huge variety of colours and finishes, and it can be one of the more inexpensive materials, making it a

great choice for those on a tighter budget. Another popular countertop right now is quartz, which is one of the hardest minerals in the world. “Because of its durability, consistency and beauty, quartz has really become a popular choice for renovators,” says Shaun Krahn, general manager for Kitchen Craft Cabinetry. Granite is one of the most popular choices right now, as it can withstand heat and other abuse well. No piece is identical to another,

which lends texture and interest to your space. Marble, limestone and soapstone are other natural products. All three require a bit more care than granite as they are softer. Because of this, any stone countertop must be sealed. You don’t want to stain your countertop before you’ve really had the chance to enjoy it. A kitchen professional will easily be able to give you advice on sealing your countertops. An engineered stone countertop come in a

larger variety of colours than a natural stone material, and is also a bit more hardy. If your countertops might need to take some abuse, an engineered stone will stand up better than the natural options. If stone isn’t your style, a solid wood butcher block countertop is both practical and lends a heritage style to your home. It must be oiled frequently to seal the surface and prevent staining, but any scratches can be sanded out and wood is very easy to clean. Another recent innovation is concrete countertops, which look great in an industrial-chic environment. Concrete comes in a variety of finishes, so it’s easy to customize what you would like it to look like. However, concrete also has to be sealed as it can easily be stained or warped. The final popular style of countertop is solid surface, which is an acrylic product that is non-porous and easily customizable with inlays, seamless backsplashes and integral sinks. However, solid surface countertops cannot withstand high heat and can be scorched or burned. However, one of the biggest considerations when looking to do any renovation is your budget. Are you able to splash out on something high-end and gorgeous, or are you looking for something a bit more inexpensive? Setting a budget should be one of the first things you do before you start looking at materials. “There is certainly no universal rule” when it comes to budget, Krahn says. “However, one thing to keep in mind is that kitchen renovations bring back the highest return on investment out of any room in the household.” As with all renovations, it’s best to get the advice of a professional before making decisions about changing your countertop.

Renovating a heritage home is an evolution By Nicolle Hodges As 2014 quickly approaches, the vision of a home continues to transform and modernize. However as heritage home owners know, it is just as important to evolve as it is to hold on to a piece of the past. Generally a heritage home is considered to be over 60 years old with some historical association, whether embedded in its interior or overall structure. The unique process of renovating a heritage home embodies what it means to improve a home’s practicality, while maintaining a historical appeal. Harald Koehn and his team at Harald Koehn Construction Ltd. were finalists in last year’s Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Ovation Awards with their renovation of a 1918 heritage home in North Vancouver. The owner of the home was looking to preserve its authentic appeal while giving it a much-needed renewal; an inevitable upgrade for most heritage home owners. The process of renovating such a home is often long and requires finding a balance between maintaining the feeling of former times and incorporating the functionality of now. It is these kind of challenging projects that Koehn and his team know how to handle. “The challenge in renovating a heritage home is trying to retain its original character and style, and rebuilding it to current building bylaws and standards,” explains Koehn. “The duplication of features can also be very challenging and expensive.” When people are looking to renovate their heritage home, it is usually for

greater energy efficiency. Koehn suggests having a professional qualified renovator do a “very comprehensive assessment,” which includes structural and seismic appraisals. Also, if there is a heritage status of the existing home, he suggests having any drawings done prior to reconstruction. When it comes to recycling some of the original components of the home, Koehn says to “assemble a list of what you would like to have done,” and to remain realistic about what is possible. “Most heritage renovations are done with a sense of renewing and breathing new life into a special, older home that has seen its day,” says Koehn. “Preserving original features may not always make financial sense.” However, he encourages owners to simply ask themselves if the renovations are right for them, because often budget doesn’t even enter as the “main consideration.” For many, if the renovations make sense, it’s worth the price to preserve.

The old kitchen, above, was outdated and didn’t work for the family, so Harald Koehn and his team made it more contemporary, top. The staircase, left, was relocated and made to fit in with the modern new home. Harald Koehn Construction photos (www.haraldkoehn.com)

Interior design should suit your individual style, not trends By Nicolle Hodges When Tom Bakker’s clients ask him about what’s “new and upcoming,” he asks them how deep their wallet is, “because you will have to do what Paris tells you.” When it comes to Tom Bakker Design Ltd., he says he’s opposed to following trends. Instead, he advises to do what is timeless, because timeless is not trend-sensitive and is cost-efficient. “Quality, expertise and attention to detail surpass trends,” says Bakker, who doesn’t believe in following what “everyone else is doing.” Instead, Bakker stresses that “it’s about customizing the client’s needs, wants and desires,” and whether a client’s style is contemporary or traditional, or he is designing a house in the mountains or on the coast, it’s about the search for “quality and creativity.” When Bakker is designing the interior of a home, he finds its design direction by listening to his clients and creating a home that nurtures them; something he says is “often overlooked” in the industry. “The trend that everyone should be concerned about is not colours or tiles, it’s about the client and who they are, what they want, what their dream is,” says Bakker. “It’s not about seeing something on T.V and just hanging a new curtain up.” While interior designer Sarah Gallop of Sarah Gallop Design would tend to agree that trends “come and go,” she says it’s also about creating longevity with a classic neutral backdrop, and then incorporating accents and items that are easily changed out. Gallop foresees yellow as a popular accent colour for 2014, as well as glass and reflective materials, and spaces that embody warmth and comfort, while remaining elegant.

A new year brings new trends and new styles, whether it’s in interior design or clothing. However, designing with your own personal style in mind, whether it’s a retro look in your kitchen, right, or a cozy living area with space to entertain, below, will last longer than following every new trend. Sarah Gallop Design photos

As with all trends, they pass, and often quite quickly. In that case, Gallop suggests that people base their design decisions on how long they plan on living in that particular space. “With a short-term stay it’s important to consider resale and choosing materials and finishes that will appeal to a greater range of people,” explains Gallop. “If they plan to stay in the home for a long time it’s not a major concern to do something that is super customized to their own lifestyle or taste.”

Changing up what lies beneath your feet By Nicolle Hodges The newest trends in flooring are a direct reflection of those looking to the future, yet wanting to remain comfortable while doing so. Monarch Flooring owner Matt Robinson has noticed that there has been a shift towards more detailed and multi-dimensional flooring. When people are considering hardwood, there seems to be a move away from maple and walnut shades and more towards wide-plank white oak. Besides offering a unique look, the influx can also be credited to its long lengths and affordable pricing. Wire-brushed flooring offers a unique take on texture, while multi-level staining provides different colour effects. “It really gives some neat looks and a larger variety as opposed to monotone flooring,” says Robinson. Peter Pocrnic of Casa Madera Floors has seen something very similar when it comes to hardwood. “We’re seeing people going for the lighter shades of grey,” he says, as well as the lighter earth tones. “The brushed oak is very popular,” he says. “It goes with the lifestyle. People have kids and dogs, and these products cover scratches really well.” Robinson has noticed that when it comes to laminate, “in a lot of ways it is mirroring what is happening in hardwood,” he says. “The boards are no longer boring, and are beginning to look more detailed with hand-scraped rippled surfaces.” In addition, when it comes to baseboards, Robinson and his team are adding more square trim as opposed to rounded, furthering the overall structured feel. However, in the case of carpeting, the preferred look doesn’t follow the edgy trend. Instead, many are opting for a more plush carpeting with the cut-pile carpet, as it’s fairly thick and soft under your feet. Wool and synthetic blends are making an appearance, with an emphasis on grey and neutral tones. Vinyl has also seen a shift towards what is considered “luxury” with plank and tile. While durability is a great selling point, the product’s tile and plank format make for easier installation and repairs over the traditional 12-inch-wide sheets. When it comes to tile in particular, Fontile Kitchen and Bath Sales Specialist Sean Cloete says that with the use of technological advancements in the area of digital imaging, floor trends continue to replicate natural stone.

“All the great stones from Marmol Carrara to Calacata Gold to tiles that look like real wood, or even combining both wood and stone together is a new trend that has emerged,” says Cloete. “Combining the two is both beautiful and exciting to have.” Porcelanosa Grupo, a leader in ceramics for both floor and wall tiles, have been replicating real stone in board lengths (6 by 26 inches and 8 by 48 inches) on porcelain tile with texture for over 14 years. By using Digital Ink Imaging, they are able to replicate stone in a large format (24 by 48 inches and 18 by 38 inches) that reduces grout lines and creates a natural-looking replica. “Digital imaging allows the tile to be imagined no matter what the texture angle is, which is a step up from flat tiles,” says Cloete. Among the popular shades in flooring right now are lighter wood shades and grey. Earth tones are always in style, and can be found in all manner of materials and “Glazes have also matured to the point that glossy is no longer a standard, but now matte, budgets to suit your style and space. Monarch Flooring photos matte sheen, honed and textured matte are all natural glazes to further replicate real stone, and fooling even the most experienced in our industry.” Pocrnic advises homeowners considering replacing their flooring to set aside at least one to two weeks for the renovation depending on how large the room is, and always involve a professional. “A professional will be able to properly set up the sub-floor to ensure the installation is immaculate,” he says. He also notes that you need to look at purchasing quality products and ensuring high-quality workmanship. As the industry continues to cater to the future with metal detailing and digital imaging, there is still a focus on ensuring the interior of a home remains warm. As trends show, now is the time to embrace the best of both worlds, with comfortable and contemporary all under one roof. With files from Kerry Vital

Giving thanks for the fall trends “ from page 21

bronze and copper, as well as chevron patterns. All of these colours are ones they see continuing into the winter season as well. Gathering your own leaves to decorate the Thanksgiving table can be a great activity for kids and adults alike. Hitting your local park and choosing the perfect leaves to make a centrepiece (perhaps mixed with some feathers, chestnuts or acorns) can become a family tradition. Just make sure to give them a rinse first to remove any bugs or dirt. Another great idea for the kids is to unroll a length of butcher paper on the table, provide some coloured pencils or crayons, and let them go to town making a tablecloth or placemats. The grocery store can also be a good source for decorations, including fall flowers (your local market will be able to advise on what’s growing in your area), pumpkins and other gourds. “We’re also seeing unique one-of-a-kind decor as a hit this fall,” says Beatty. “Each piece tells its own story while being part of the bigger style story in the room.” If you’re looking for something a bit more time-consuming, consider taking some tissue paper in your favourite fall colours, wrapping clear glass vases or candleholders and securing the edges of the paper with clear tape to make an elegant addition to your tables or fireplace mantel. Whatever your style or budget, decorating for Thanksgiving doesn’t need to be complicated. A bit of creativity and some inspiration goes a long way towards making your home glow. Spending some time on sites such as Pintrest and Tumblr will garner tons of ideas. Perhaps you’ll become your neighbourhood Martha Stewart!

Among the popular fall colours this year will be earth tones such as browns and bronze, and rich jewel tones including deep purple and orange. Making your own Thanksgiving centrepiece can be as easy as gathering some leaves, or as complicated as your imagination allows.

A man cave is more than a TV room “ from page 21

with your chairs and couches. Angus notes that the two most popular furniture items he sees people purchasing are a recliner and a sectional. “Recliners are terrific these days; they’re so huge and comfortable,” he says. “If it’s just yourself then that’s fine, but you want to have buddies over, so you’ll need more seating.” Sectionals can fit several people on them at once without taking up a ton of space, so Angus says they’re perfect for man caves. However, when you think man cave, you probably think technology. You’d be right. Sean Peever, a member of Best Buy’s Geek Squad, has seen a lot of man caves in his day and he is passionate about the technology that most of them hold. Long gone are the days of a small television in the garage. “There has been a huge change in resolution lately,” Peever says. “4K TVs are really hot right now. It’s four times as much resolution as a 1080p set. That’s a drastic difference.” Many of the televisions installed in man caves these days are 46 inches or larger, Peever notes. However, a television isn’t your only option. “A projector and screen is a great way to go,” says John Penner of Audio Visual Unlimited Langley. “It’s a bigger screen and the picture is super clear. ... You can blow everything else away. It’s something you would want to write home about.” Penner recommends that a homeowner looking for a screen should look at one classified as a “daylight” screen, which will bounce more light back to your eyes and allow for a better viewing experience. “Most man caves are very bright due to ambient light,” he says. “It’s very important to have a bright screen.” When it comes to the projector, you will need to keep that ambient light in mind, so

Penner recommends looking for one with at least 2,000 to 3,000 lumens (a rating for the brightness of the light that is projected, similar to watts in a lightbulb). “3D projectors tend to have the best video processors,” he says. But the visual component isn’t the only important thing. “You’ll miss the entire experience without sound,” Best Buy’s Peever says. “It’s the biggest impact you can make.” He suggests starting with an amplifier and speakers. “I’m not talking about a sound bar or the TV speakers,” he says. “You want to feel like you’re in a theatre ... or in Rogers Arena, and if you don’t have good sound your experience won’t change.” Penner agrees, saying that he recommends homeowners purchase a 7.2 system, with three front speakers and four for the back of the room. The speakers are responsible for the first part of that number, with the remaining 0.2 being two subwoofers. “It depends on the size” of the room, he says, but “you can really play with how the listener receives sound. The more you have, the more you can play with distance.” He cites the example of a plane taking off. With a television speaker you’ll have a single source of sound, while a full surround-sound system will allow you to hear it from all around you. “You can really feel what the director was trying to achieve,” Penner says. The two subwoofers he recommends will pick up the lower register of the sound. “It’s important to have two (subwoofers) to pick up multiple ‘sweet spots’ in the room,” he says. “You don’t typically have just one seat in the room, so you want to reach everyone.

There is a lot more to the perfect man cave than the television. Whether you choose to make a full home theatre, left, or a place to relax with a gaming system and a great stereo, above, you have plenty of options for building your man space. Audio Visual Unlimited Langley photos

Your recliner might be your ‘man cave command centre’ but we can calculate sweet spots for a whole room of people.” However, with all that technology in the room, how are you planning to control it? “You can automatically control the electronics in your home with a home automation system,” Peever says. “You control it from your tablet or phone. Everything from light switches to plugs to the thermostat. It’s really the epic pinnacle of what a man cave should be.” No man cave is complete with some home automation, Penner declares. “It’s an absolute necessity in your cave,” he says. “You can actually run your entire house” off of a single remote. Lighting might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you’re constructing your man cave, but Penner says it is still important.

“It’s best to have three or four light circuits,” he notes. “I recommend having one circuit as sconces on the wall, and pot lights in the ceiling as the second. The third could be another set of pot lights, and the fourth a rope light at the front of the room.” If you’re looking to spend some time doing something other than watching the game, you might consider purchasing a gaming system. “The new gaming systems are going to be huge,” says Peever. “It’s an epic event to have the new PlayStation 4 and XBox One release around the same time.” Both will be released in November. However, neither of those can really be classified as purely a gaming system anymore. “They’re entertainment systems,” Peever says. “It’s a Blu-Ray player, gaming console, DVD player, movie rental service. It’s a great new world.”

Enjoy the great outdoors from the comfort of your home The dog days of summer may officially be over, but that’s no reason to get hasty and store away your patio furniture or barbecue. With various cover and enclosure options on the market today for your home, you can embrace some outdoor chilln’ and grilln’ well into the winter months. Aside from providing additional square footage of living space, a three-season room is often brighter than the rest of the house –this makes them a great place to relax and unwind in the grey and gloomy days of winter, says Steve Leyenhorst, the owner of Natural Light Patio Covers in Langley. “In our mild Lower Mainland climate, we don’t often need a full ‘four-season’ room. Simply blocking drafts and cool air movement, with maybe a patio heater for the coldest days, are enough to provide year-round comfort.” Glass makes a much better wall than roof, for both strength and maintenance reasons, according to Leyenhorst. “Our patio covers, made with Acrylite roofing panels, provide a unique combination of light transmission, temperature control, and low-maintenance. After the cover is installed, we have eight different wall options, from screen mesh with sliding vinyl window panels, to thermal glass (such as patio doors). Our neatest option is the Lumon sliding glass wall system – open or close your entire patio in seconds.” Depending on the materials used and how it’s built, a three-season room could potentially increase the value of your home. “Many of the most lowest-priced outdoor options are not designed or built to handle the Lower Mainland’s weather conditions – especially the really heavy snow we get every three to four years,” said Leyenhorst. “Home inspectors will put up warning flags about such structures. They also look bad after only a few years and lower resale value if potential buyers feel they will actually need to remove the structure before they can enjoy their new home.” A properly-constructed, engineer-approved structure with lifetime warranties will definitely increase a home’s value, usually much more than the actual cost of the structure, he adds. “Not only does it make the home bigger with additional square feet of living space, but provides peace of mind to both current and future owners for years of comfort!” For more information about three-season rooms, visit www.naturalightpatiocovers.com. ~ Kristyl Clark, Times Reporter

art ... in retrospect Fort Langley Artists Group members celebrate their 20th anniversary by revisiting past exhibit themes and welcoming back some former members

Brenda ANDERSON/Langley Times

Sculptor Gail Simpson plays one of her Udu drums at the Langley Centennial Museum gallery. She based the design of the jug-shaped instruments on African drums, but refers to her own as “West Coast versions.” Simpson is one of 23 artists participating in Fort Langley Artists Group’s 20th anniversary exhibit, running from Sept. 19 to Nov. 3 at the Fort Langley museum. Behind her, hangs Lion Around, by fellow FLAG artist Robin Bandenieks.

BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

ast and present will meet when Passages and Reflections: A Unifying Retrospective of FLAG — 1993 to 2013, opens at the Langley Centennial Museum this week. Fort Langley Artists Group’s 20th anniversary show begins on Thursday, Sept. 19 and continues until Nov. 3 at the museum on King Street in Fort Langley. Throughout each summer for the past two decades FLAG artists have mounted shows based on themes suggested and selected by members. Passages and Reflections offered the artists a chance to revisit any and all themes from the past 20 years. “We wanted to address the themes (in the retrospective) because that’s what draws us together — the democratic process of choosing a theme,” said FLAG artist Robin Bandenieks. At the beginning of each FLAG season, every artist arrives with an idea. They lobby, they debate and they vote.And once the choice is made, there is no getting out of it, regardless of how impossible it may seem. In fact, it becomes a case of ‘how creative can you get?’ said Bandenieks. Over the years, members have been challenged to represent both concrete themes — Doors, Dancers, Wood and Stone — and some that were slightly harder to pin down — Almost Functional, The Sound of Art, and Extraordinary Ordinary, among them. Often, said Bandenieks, it’s the sculptors who face the greatest challenge in adhering to a theme. “Rivers of the Valley — how are you (as a sculptor) going to do that?” she laughed. This time, however, each artist was encouraged to revisit a theme that truly inspired them, from Farms of the Valley to Bon Appetite, to The Shoe Show. All of FLAG’s 19 current members are participating in the 20th anniversary show, alongside four founding members — Barbara Boldt, Linda Muttitt, Doug Bluwer and Ron Bryson — who accepted the group’s invitation to rejoin them, if only for a couple of months. Collectively, participants have drawn on no fewer than 22 different themes. With several days to go until the large, multi-artist exhibit was scheduled to open, museum curator Kobi Christian, helped out by five of the artists, was busily paring down the large number of submissions — selecting enough to fill the gallery space without overwhelming it and doing their best to ensure that it flowed well from one artist’s space to the next. It’s still a large exhibit, noted Bandenieks, who has submitted paintings representing three past themes — Fur, Fins and Feathers from earlier this summer (a large portrait of a lion, which she wasn’t previously able to show), 2009’s Rivers of the Valley (an otter) and 2004’s ‘Time and Aging’ (a pair of ‘then’ and ‘now’ portraits of Queen Elizabeth II.) FLAG anniversary shows at the

museum are something of a tradition, said Bandenieks. Every five years, the artists — who display their work each summer at the modest CN heritage train station gallery just down the road — take over the substantially larger museum space in celebration. For Passages and Reflections, the gallery has been divided into segments, giving each artist a designated space to display. With the painters occupying the walls, sculptors — including Gail Simpson — have arranged their pieces on plexiglass blocks throughout the room. Simpson’s stands hold a series of Udu drums — which are shaped like clay jugs with a hole in the side for added percussive effect — and somewhat more traditional looking goblet drums. The latter are shaped, as the name would suggest, like a large chalice, with a skin pulled tightly over the top. “Udu drums are traditionally from Africa — this is the West Coast version,” explained the artist, who not only creates the drums, but plays them, too, and is happy to sit cross legged on the floor to offer a quick demonstration of proper Udu technique. One of the exceptions to the painter/ wall-sculptor/stand rule is Julie Bourne. The Langley sculptor rolls out her clay into slabs, which she then carves and moulds into three-dimensional wall art. Bourne who will display her trademark raku pieces has, not surprisingly, reserved two thirds of her display space for equine art. “I can’t seem to stop doing horses lately,” said the artist, who hand crafted a pair of facing “war horse” heads, inspired by the TV series Game of Thrones, from rolled clay. One is finished in a dark grey that does a convincing imitation of metal, while the other shimmers with a pale pearlescent finish. At the far end of the room, Margo Harrison, the group’s only current and founding member, has brought a pair of her well known ‘Comfort Cat’ sculptures for display. But she also hauled out her brushes for this exhibit and looked all the way back to 1994 for her inspiration. When Harrison heard that the show would be a retrospective of former themes, she was thrilled. “I thought, ‘Oh, goody, I’m going to revisit the Hands theme,’” she said. “I just had a wonderful time revisiting the themes. “I was stoked. It gives you energy,” Harrison said. This time, she approached it in acrylics instead of watercolours. Old and new paintings from 1994 and 2013 will hang, side by side, in her corner. One of her new pieces is titled ‘Old Hands.’ “Just to be confusing,” she laughed. The artists will host an opening reception on Sept. 19, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the museum. Entertainment will be provided by harpist Maria Moularas. The Langley Centennial Museum is located at 9135 King St. It is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. except on Sundays, when it is open from 1 p.m. to 4:45 p.m.

Coach among inductees to Hall Long-time football coach Shane Thompson was honoured along with the first team he ever coached, the Renfrew Trojans, with an induction into the B.C. Football Hall of Fame GARY AHUJA Times Sports

If Shane Thompson had his way, he would have quit football. But it was made abundantly clear that quitting was not an option. Up until that point, Thompson had played school and intramural sports, but nothing outside of those. His father Ernest â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a semiprofessional hockey player â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was insistent that his son play organized sport, so a family friend suggested the younger Thompson give football a shot. The 12-year-old obliged and after a less-than stellar introduction to the sport â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember getting demolished at practice and I was going to quit,â&#x20AC;? Thompson recalled â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but his father explained that quitting was not going to happen. And by sticking with it, Thompson has forged a lifelong passion for the gridiron game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Football is different, it is the ultimate team game and you are part of a group, part of a team and you are contributing with everybody else, whether you are scoring a touchdown or not,â&#x20AC;? Thompson explained. He stuck with the game, playing through the ranks of the Renfrew football organization and developed into an outstanding defensive tackle. Thompson graduated to the junior ranks, playing with the Renfrew Trojans and his then collegiately with the University of Montana Grizzlies. And when school didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pan out, he returned to Vancouver and finished his junior eligibility with the Trojans. Showing enough promise, Thompson found his way onto the B.C. Lions practice roster, but an off-field head injury

ended his playing days. But some 40 years after first strapping on the pads, the game still plays a central role in Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. On Sunday, at half-time of the B.C. Lions game against the Montreal Alouettes, Thompson and members of the 1982 Renfrew Trojans were honoured for their induction into the B.C. Football Hall of Fame. The induction took place earlier that day. That team was the first from British Columbia since the Vancouver Blue Bombers in 1947 to win the Canadian Junior Football League championship. The Trojans are considered by many as the last â&#x20AC;&#x153;genuineâ&#x20AC;? community-based team from B.C. to win the national junior championship with their Gary AHUJA/Langley Times entire roster â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including all Head coach Shane Thompson instructs a couple of the Langley midget Stampeders players durthe coaching staff â&#x20AC;&#x201D; being ing practice at McLeod Athletic Park last week.

Kodiaks ground Pilots Four goals in the second period helped the Aldergrove Kodiaks to a 9-4 rout of the Abbotsford Pilots. The junior B hockey clubs faced off at Abbotsford’s MSA Arena on Friday (Sept. 13) as Aldergrove evened their record at 1-1 in the Pacific Junior Hockey League. The Kodiaks had lost their season opener 5-2 to the North Vancouver Wolf Pack on Sept. 11 at the Aldergrove Arena. But it was a different story in Abbotsford as the Kodiaks used a deadly power play — it struck for four goals on four opportunities — to ground the Pilots. Aldergrove led 2-1 after 20 minutes before blowing the game open in the second for a 6-1 advantage. Each team scored three times in the third. Scott McHaffie paced the attack with two goals and an assist while Stephen Ryan and Elvis Jansons each had one goal and two helpers. Cole MacInnes stopped 22 of the 26 shots he faced. He also made 40 saves in the loss to the Wolf Pack. In that game, Jackson Wanick and Ryan had the Aldergrove goals. The Kodiaks host Ridge Meadows tomorrow (Wednesday) at Aldergrove Arena.

You & The Law Gallant golden with Team BC

PRESENTS Beware Facebook if suing for injuries

when deciding her compensation too. Courts do try to balance privacy rights (yours and other people’s) in Facebook postings, and the rights of the other side to see all relevant evidence. After looking at photos posted on Facebook, the court will sometimes comment they aren’t very helpful. But in some cases, the court will order you to disclose photos or videos that you shared only with “friends” and family and weren’t open to the public. So privacy settings on Facebook and general privacy rights may not protect you. Here’s an example. Ms. F, a first-year Victoria law student, was rear-ended in a car crash. She claimed she had ongoing neck and back pain and headaches, and said her injuries affected her recreation and social activities, employability and future prospects. But she travelled extensively after the accident and also went hiking, scuba-diving and wake-boarding (though with some restrictions and pain). Her private Facebook profile could only be viewed by 890 “friends,” not the public, and stored 759 photos and one video. She also had some 12,000 other photos. Before the trial, the court ordered her to disclose those that showed her participating in a certain “Law Games” social-and-sports tournament, plus those taken on vacations after the accident. But she was allowed to edit the photos to protect the privacy of other people in them. If hurt in an accident, consult your lawyer, be truthful about your injuries, and consider limiting your Facebook and social media activities.

It was a golden end to the summer break for Levi Gallant. Gallant, a 16-yearold goaltender from Langley helped backstop Team BC to the gold medal at the U16 field lacrosse national championships. The tournament was held over the Labour Day weekend in Longeuil, Que. In the finals, B.C. defeated one of their chief rivals, Team Ontario, 14-9. “It felt great to

What you post on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or other social media can come back to haunt you. This is especially true if you say the back injury you suffered in a car accident severely restricted your activities, but Facebook shows you skiing down black diamond runs. Of course, this is only a problem if what you say before or during trial can be contradicted by posts showing that the injuries and limitations you claim are exaggerated or don’t exist. For example, in a recent 2013 B.C. case, one of the victim’s claims in a rear-end car accident was that she developed a “driving phobia” as a result. But she lost that particular claim, partly because of what she posted on Facebook. A couple of years after the accident, she posted how she loved once again driving her car at 120 km per hour at night. Then there’s the 2010 case of Mr. M, 22, hurt in three separate accidents over five years. He first hurt his right wrist, then (second accident) his right knee and finally (third accident) his back. He claimed this affected his ability to work and enjoy recreational activities. But photos posted on Facebook showed him playing football, kneeling on a tube when towed behind a boat, and sitting curled up in a clothes dryer. This plus other evidence showed that some of his claims were exaggerated. The compensation he received for his “pain and suffering” took this into account. In another case, 22-year old Ms. S was injured in two car accidents, four years apart. She claimed ongoing headaches and neck, back and hip pain limited her ability to have fun and reduced her future earning capacity as a nurse. But her Facebook profile showed her rock climbing, white-water rafting, in a soccer uniform and at a golf driving range. The court considered all this

win,” Gallant said. “We just played so well.” Gallant shared the goaltending duties through the round robin and semifinal, but got the nod for the championship final. This is the second straight year he has helped B.C. win gold at nationals. Team BC was in a pool with Ontario, Alberta and the Iroquois Lacrosse Association. And it was that latter squad which gave B.C. its biggest scare, taking them into triple overtime before falling 14-13. Gallant has been playing the sport since he was six, but only took up goaltending about five years ago. “I like the pressure of being the last line of defence,” he said. Gallant, who began Grade 11 at Langley Secondary this month, was scheduled to be begin the field lacrosse season on Sunday (Sept. 15) with the Langley Thunder. The Thunder play in the Pacific Coast Field Lacrosse League. ••••• Four other Langley lacrosse players were also at nationals as part of Team BC’s U19 squad. Connor Abrams, Ryhs Burnell, Chase Fraser and James Rahe helped their team to the silver medal. That tournament was also in Longeuil, Que. over the Labour Day weekend.

Langley Seniors Centre Celebrates Twenty Years of Service and Support

want to help wherever and whoever we can but with limited resources and threats of reduced grants always looming how do we meet the needs of Langley’s growing senior community? We are fortunate that we have an excellent Board of Directors. They are pro-active and very supportive and they understand our needs and the challenges we face. Our staff are second to none and many have been here a long time but they are stretched to the limit and we draw heavily on their dedication to keep our existing programs running and try to introduce new programs with volunteer support as our membership grows. “

Jim McGregor

October the 4th., the Langley Senior Resources Society will be celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Langley Seniors Centre with an open house at the Langley Seniors Centre from 3PM to 6PM. The Langley Senior Resources Society has been providing, health, nutritional, recreational, advocacy and housing programs and facilities for the past 28 years. These programs support the health and well being of both active or frail and isolated seniors residing in Langley City or Township and the surrounding area. The Society was originally established in late 1978 when a group of health professionals and service club representatives formed the Society to look at issues which affected the lives of Langley’s seniors. In the beginning, they conducted studies that resulted in bringing handiDART service to Langley and in 1982 they partnered with the Ministry of Health to launch the Langley Adult Day Centre, the Society’s first direct Executive Director Barb Stack plans the upcoming Seniors Resource Centre Open house with Melissa Beedle, Janice McTaggart and Joanna Spady. Jim McGregor photo service program. Under the direction of Sharon Birnie the Day Centre opened in a rented church hall with a filing cabinet and a telephone and began serving their first 2 clients. Within six months, the Centre had ten clients and they hired a program worker and a cook with only some funding from Ministry of Health and a client fee of $3.00 a day. Barb Stack, the current Executive Director, has been with the Society for nineteen years. “There was a definite need for seniors that needed to be addressed. The people needed it and the community wanted it and Sharon Birnie and the Board did what had t be done. They sought out various forms of funding and began expanding their programs, sharing space with Meals on Wheels, Alzheimer Society and Langley Hospice. Not only were they providing more service, they were increasing the public profile and began to pursue the dream of building their own centre.” “We benefitted from all that early hard work,” shares Barb. “Today, we have over 1100 members, our staff has grown from 1 to 25, our volunteers have increased from 10 to 250 and our programs have increased to meet the current needs of the Senior community.” The current Langley Senior Recreation and Resource Centre was completed in 1993, realizing the dream of Sharon and the Board. The 18,000 square foot building is the focal point for many Langley Seniors and their families as well as throughout the community who use the Centre as a resource. The Centre delivers a full range of recreational programs that include physical activities to maintain body strength, educational program to challenge their

minds, nutritional food and opportunities for social interaction. “The Centre is a second home to many of our members,” explains Barb. “We have seen many of our members start out as volunteers or active participants in our programs and then, through any set of circumstances, they become recipients of one of our many care or outreach programs. Our volunteer base is instrumental to the operation of the facility and many of our dedicated people have been here for many years, not just volunteering but bringing new ideas and suggestions that they see will benefit the members. They become family and some days it is difficult to get things done if you start listening to the many interesting stories our members and volunteers have to share. There is a lot of history here and it is important for them to have a place that they can share. Isolation can be a major problem for seniors.” Operational funding for the Centre comes from Gaming funds, fundraising such as garage sales and book sales, grants and annual donations. The City of Langley provides an annual grant to the Langley Seniors Resource Society to assist in repayment of the mortgage and provides a property tax exemption. The Township of Langley provides no formal funding even though many of the clients that benefit from the programs are Township residents. The Society applies annually for Township grants and this year did receive financial support for the Ambassador program. The City also subsidises 100 memberships for City residents that qualify for financial assistance. “Funding is always a challenge,” Barb explains. “Where do we stop, we

“ A great example of dedication came from the response to the fire we had that necessitated the closure of the Centre for some time. We relocated to the vacant Apex School, Sharon United Church, and to portable offices. We never missed a beat and under some stressful conditions and with amazing community response to our needs we continued providing our in house and outreach programs. We have very resilient people working within our system.”

A browse through the Fall Program Book gives a quick overview of the many varied programs set and ready to go. From fitness to field trips, medical and nutritional programs, computer courses and advice seminars or legal consultation members are provided with a variety of opportunities to drop in or pre-register. The fees for persons 50 years or older are $50.00 for the calendar year and free for those members that reach 90 years of age. A valid membership is required to take part in most activities at the Centre. Where does the next twenty years take the Langley Seniors Resource Society? “ I think we are headed in a great direction,” says Barb. “we have a dedicated core group of people on staff and on our Board and we have learned that we have to be prepared to change , prepared to listen to the members and the community and be ready to move in the right direction. Funding will always be a challenge and we have to continue to be creative with our fundraising efforts and get the word out to the community. We have to continue working with our Community partners, Fraser Health, the City and expand our Healthy Community Partnership. We are involved in local forums and now have doctors on board that can provide insight and support. Transportation issues are being addressed and hopefully we can see a time when those in outlying areas can have easier access to the Centre.” The community is invited to the 20th Anniversary Open House to be held at the Langley Seniors Centre, 20605 -51B St. from 3-6Pm on Friday October 4th.

Centre Volunteers ‘Backbone and Foundation’ Jim McGregor

We see Travel in your Future…

9AM, Alice Kennedy waves and smiles as she walks across the parking lot of the Langley Seniors Centre. This morning she is here to play table tennis, but most mornings she is one of the 250 dynamic volunteers that put in over 20,000 volunteer hours a year, the backbone of the Langley Seniors Resource Society. “I retired from a teaching career in December of 2004,” says Alice, proudly. “In January 2005 I came to the Centre and applied to be a volunteer. I knew I was not the person who could sit around all day and have knowledge, energy and a passion for helping others. I also do it for myself. The activity keeps me healthy and I love to volunteer at events or locations I can walk to.” “I have many varied duties here at the Seniors Centre. I organize the front desk greeters and I work in the office one day a week. Once a month I work with the crew putting together the Healthy Living Bags. These are bags of fresh local vegetables that volunteers package and distribute to our members. I organize books sales, act as the library liaison and make myself available where needed. I enjoy working with the seniors and I am always fascinated by the stories I hear. My forty years of working with children has taught me patience and to be a good listener. I bring those skills with me and they work well here, although I admit I can’t threaten to send a note home to their parents if they are misbehaving. To become a volunteer you must be fifty or older and fill out an application at the Langley Seniors Centre. The application is reviewed by Outreach Director Janice McTaggart and, if accepted, you will be enrolled in a volunteer orientation course that runs twice a year. The course includes a lesson on the Centre, etiquette, ethics, and social interaction. You learn to be a greeter first. “ That is an important position,” says Alice. “Being on the greeter desk you never know what questions you are going to asked or what situations you will encounter. You soon learn who to contact and where to direct visitors or members. Eventually, volunteers find their comfort zone and determine where they fit. We welcome new volunteers with new ideas and new connections. That’s the only way we will continue to grow.” Volunteer Pauline Knight has spent many hours on the greeter desk. “ I’m ninety-seven and a half years old,” she says with conviction “I came the day this place opened over 20 years ago and for many years volunteered here seven days a week until they cut it back to six. I had worked and worked hard up until I was 75 then, soon after I had lost all 200 members of my family and I was alone and needed something to do. I work here on the greeter desk and organize the Tuk shop, our in- house thrift store. We average over $1000.00 income a month from the shop and last month it was close to $1700.00. I schedule the volunteers for the shop and make sure it keeps running. I had eleven different jobs in my life and was never without work , even in the hard times, so I’m not stopping now. I enjoy all the people and I love to talk and smile with each one that comes in.” “ I travelled a lot and bowled for sixty-five years with a 261 average so I can talk to people about anything and I enjoy training the new volunteers when them come in.” Margaret Halcrow has also volunteered at the centre for twenty years. “ I am usually on the cash register in the restaurant most days and some afternoons I play the piano here to cheer to things up. When I’m here it’s an inspiration and forget about any aches and pains I might have.” Some areas volunteers are needed include: • Drivers to take seniors to health care appointments • Telephone buddies to make regular friendship calls • Housing advice counselors to assist seniors explore their options • Special Event volunteers • General volunteers for the dining room, greeter desk, maintenance, gardening The volunteers include older members, their family members, new Canadians, and, on occasion, groups from the business community. It is well documented that social connections and challenge of worth, while being involved in volunteer work is vital to health of the older population. The Centre serves both those in need of support and those who can help give it. As one volunteer remarked, “I came here to be part of the Seniors Centre and soon it became part of me and now I can’t do without it.” For more information on becoming a volunteer, phone (604) 530-3020 or check the web site at www.lsrs.ca

Food Programs Provide Much Needed Funding Jim McGregor A big part of the Langley Seniors Centre is the food services. Well balanced, reasonably priced meals are available six days a week. In addition, the kitchen can prepare special dinners or catered functions which helps provide much needed revenue for the Society. For many elders, the noon meal they have at the Senior Centre is their main food source. The dining room is open to the public and many seniors who are not members eat there regularly because of the reasonably priced meals. Those who live alone have the opportunity to eat a well prepared meal in a social setting and those who have difficulty shopping and cooking can eat at the Centre or also take a meal home if needed. The nutritious take home meals are a way for seniors to continue to maintain their independence. The senior friendly dining room is has many social benefits for many living in the Langley community. The dining room is open Monday - Friday 9:00am â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1:30pm and Saturday 9:00am - 1:00pm. The dining room is only one aspect of the food programs offered by the Langley Senior Resources Society. Greg McGillivray is the Director of Food Services for the Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153; I am very pleased that in my position here, I can make a difference a day in someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and there are not many that can say that,â&#x20AC;? shares Greg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regularly I hear members say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My time at the centre keeps me going and keeps me alive.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; That is inspiring.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do some amazing things here. We have three full time staff, all of who have been here more than fifteen years, and fifteen to twenty regular volunteers who support us as cashiers, dishwashers and servers. We have a certified chef and one of biggest challenges is to get the word out to the community about what we are doing and what we can do,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;On a recent Saturday, we operated a busy day during the Cruise-in, we catered a wedding at the Fort in Fort Langley that night and we had a celebration of life here for 200 the next day. The funds we bring in from our catering provide a large part of the income to the Society

and also allow us to keep our dining room costs down.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the past year we have had a decline in the number of catered weddings as all facilities have, but we are doing more celebration of life services here. We can do them in a quiet respectful setting at a cost much less than other facilities. Also, here is an opportunity to promote people to support a local non- profit organization where all the funds are going back in to community programs.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We encourage people to come check out our facilities. Many times, guests will ask us â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Where do the old people sleep?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; They think they are coming to a rest home for the wedding reception. It is far from it. We provide a home cooked meal in a nice setting with quiet patios and nice landscaping. We can compete with any facility, we just ask for the chance.â&#x20AC;? In addition to catering, other food programs include providing food for Meals on Wheels, lunch programs, and the Adult Day Care. Once a month they prepare the Healthy Living bags. Local Pioneer Frank Braun scours the countryside and brings in vegetables and produce that volunteers pack and deliver to clients.. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are always looking for new ideas. Last year we offered a full turkey pick-up dinner for Christmas. We prepared sixty full Christmas dinners with all the fixins and people paid for them and picked them up on the 24th. We anticipate that this year we will prepare more than a hundred. The need is there and we can meet it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we look to the future we know we will have to work harder. Both in the Centre and outside to get the word out to get the people in. We want to encourage businesses meeting here and make people more aware. We need more room, a bigger venue, We need more parking, When we have an event here the members have to park at the local school or on the street. We have to determine who our competition is and we have to keep making a difference.â&#x20AC;?

LANGLEY COMMUNITY

Adult Day Care - a Respite for Family and Client Jim McGregor ver twenty-eight years ago, the first direct service program provided by the Langley Seniors Resource Society was the Langley Adult Day Centre. The program initially began with two clients and operated out of a rented church hall. Today, The Adult Day care Program operates from a facility designed for their needs at the Harrison Pointe Seniors facility on 50th. Ave. in Langley and provides services for 26 - 36 clients a day. The Adult Day Program is partially funded under a contract with Fraser Health and provides specialized support of both physically and mentally frail elders who are trying to remain in their own homes or the homes of their families. The program provides respite service to caregivers and support, supervision, and physical care to over 150 very frail elder clients. This includes a specialized community bathing program to approximately forty clients weekly, also partially funded by Fraser Health. Clients attending through Fraser Health require an assessment from a Fraser Health case manager. The Day Program will also service privately funded clients ,those who do not qualify for Fraser Health services, or those individuals who are funded through third party agencies such as ICBC, WCB or DVA. Fraser Health funds 26 spots per day but the client can come more often if they pay the daily rate of $80.00. Kelly Brown has been the Director of the Adult Day Care Program for seven years. “We currently operate with seven full time staff, myself, an RN, three program staff and a bathing staff person that does up to seven baths a day. We are supported by volunteers every day, sometimes only one volunteer and some days three or four but as we get more clients, we require more staff.” We handle clients anywhere from 48 to 102 years of age. Some are here privately funded by other agencies in some degree of recovery from accident or injury and many others suffer from dementia or Alzheimer’s and can’t get the help at home. Our programs provide

a change of scene and routine for the clients and a day of respite for the family or caregiver. Our clients are still living at home or with family and come to us at least once a week, depending on the funding. Some come more often having some funded days and some privately funded days.” “This facility we are in now was designed as an Adult Day Centre as part of the Harrison Pointe construction,” explains Kelly. “Prior to that we operated from the Senior Centre and ,after the fire, we ran our programs from the basement of Sharon United Church in Murrayville. We have education programs, fitness programs, we have a certified osteofit instructor and many craft classes such as ceramics. We bring in animals from time to time such as dogs, miniature ponies or pigs. It is always interesting to see a client with dementia or Alzheimer’s suddenly recognize a pig and ask what it’s doing here.” “Many of our clients are isolated , physically and mentally and we see them come out of their shell once they get into a group setting and become active. We have carpet bowling and bocce, and we bring in live entertainment from time to time. Of course, we provide plenty of talk, conversation and encouragement.” “We recognize there is a great need for adult day care out in the community. We have a six month waiting period for admission to our programs and we would like to do more. Not everyone has retirement funds and can afford assisted living or privately pay $80.00 per day to come here. We see the growing need and the threat of funding cuts as major future challenges. We are possibly facing cuts to our bathing programs. This program is so essential to many clients as it allows them some dignity in not having to be bathed by a spouse or family member. Our clients and their families rely on the limited time they get to spend with us. We are a home away from home.” For more information on the Adult Day Care program, check out the web site at www.lsrs.ca or phone the Langley Seniors Resources Society at (604) 530-3020

Jim McGregor Janice McTaggart has been with the Langley Seniors Resources Society for nineteen years and she is currently the Director of Outreach and Volunteers. When asked just what exactly â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;outreachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; entails, Janice doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We exist to empower individual Seniors in the City and Township of Langley to live as individually as desired. Our focus is to get the word out to the community and connect with individuals, groups, organizations or community partners to identify the needs of the senior community and support that need where we can.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the biggest reasons I have been here for almost 20 years is that my staff and I have been allowed to be creative. We have never been told that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;That is the way we do things.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rather, we have been encouraged to seek out unique funding sources and put programs in to place to support them.â&#x20AC;? An excellent example is the current transportation initiative and feasibility study. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to establish a bus co-op,â&#x20AC;? explains Janice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see a need for easier and more convenient forms of transportation that will allow seniors in Brookswood, Fort Langley, Walnut Grove or Aldergrove to access our programs . Our proposed model is to use existing buses that often sit idle at other facilities. We would borrow them when needed and establish a pool of drivers and dispatch them as required to provide shuttle services. Currently, Van City Has some funding available, but of course we will require more.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Too often we hear members say they would like to attend something here, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;but I have no way to get there.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We hear the concerns about lack of transportation from the Seniors Action Table and the Seniors Advisory Committees and we hope to see some resolve to this issue that affects a large portion of our community.â&#x20AC;?

The Outreach Programs provide many support services that allow seniors to remain at home. Information and referral services can connect Seniors with lawyers, accountants or help with wills and pension forms. Seniors Telephone Buddies are trained volunteers that make weekly phone connections with isolated individuals with regular friendly chats. Better At Home Services can provide many volunteers to assist clients with transportation, grocery shopping, light housekeeping or just a friendly visit. Many of these services are subsidized and subsequently there is little cost to the client. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We refer to ourselves as â&#x20AC;&#x153; the little engine that could,â&#x20AC;? smiles Janice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do an awful lot with just four full time staff. Fortunately, we are backed up by 130 amazing volunteers and they are constantly making suggestions on how we can do things better. â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If we are to survive, we have to grow. We need to expand as the community requests more from us. We want to attract younger seniors with new ideas. We can see that as the new crop of seniors arrive they are less disempowered. They are more informed and better educated. They are healthier and they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t experienced those hard life times of the depression era. We are seeing an increase in the integration of visible minorities both in clients and volunteers and they bring a new perspective. We have to listen.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see positive things coming from the Division of Family Practice and the promise of healthier seniors that may come from that. But as seniors stay healthier and live longer the need for Societies and programs such as ours will only increase.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need more funding and a bigger parking lot!â&#x20AC;?

KULLMAN, Avril Needham, RN 1918 - 2013 God called Mom home to Heaven on Sunday, August 25 where she was met with smiles and hugs by Dad. Avril was a Lieutenant/Nursing Sister with the Canadian Army during WWII and, after the war, returned to nursing in Regina and Wynyard, Sask. The family moved to Langley in 1957 when Dad opened Langley Men’s Shop and Mom served at Langley Memorial Hospital where she found her real niche as an Operating Room Nurse. Mom and Dad were both active participants in community life in Langley and as members of Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church. After Dad’s death in 1997, Mom remained active before health issues necessitated a move to Kamloops to be closer to her daughters. Quality time was spent at Berwick on the Park and later at Ridgeview Lodge where, for the past 3 years, Mom was gifted to be cared for and about by all their earthly angels of staff and volunteers. Avril is survived by daughters, Barrie (Bill) and Leigh (Ted), granddaughters Meegan (David) and Erin (Daryl), 4 great grandchildren, her brother Barry (Martha) and a loving circle of nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents, husband, Rudy, brother, Jack, sister, Marvel. A Celebration of Life tea will be held Sept. 21 from 2 - 4 pm at Parkway Estates, 5360-205 St. Langley.
