Court halts Coulter Berry construction HERITAGE ALTERATION PERMIT SET ASIDE ON FORT LANGLEY PROJECT F R A NK B UCHOLTZ A ND DA N F E R G US ON Time s Re po rte rs

DAN FER GUS ON L an gley Tim es

In August, Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese and other members of council, including Councillor Kim Richter (far right), joined community members at the sod turning ceremony for the Coulter Berry building in Fort Langley. A lawsuit against the Township over its decision to grant a heritage alteration permit and allow the building to go ahead was successful Friday, and construction has been halted for the present.

Work on the Coulter Berry building in Fort Langley has been halted, in light of a B.C. Supreme Court ruling Friday in Chilliwack. Several opponents of the building had banded together to seek a halt to work on the building, citing its variance from Langley Township’s Fort Langley heritage guidelines. After hearing arguments from the petitioners and the Township over two days, the court set aside the permit and said it will issue a written judgment in four months. The court set aside the heritage alteration permit issued by the Township, on the basis that it improperly varied the density of use. Justice Joel Groves did not clarify the

ruling any further. Work on the building began in late summer. The building has been controversial. It was the subject of a lengthy public hearing and, after council approved it, it has faced continued opposition from a group of Fort Langley residents and the Langley Heritage Society. In a statement on the Coulter Berry website, building owner Eric Woodward said “While we strongly disagree with the Supreme Court’s decision, we must now begin the process of demobilizing the construction crews currently onsite, and those that were geared up to commence. “We have no choice but to wait until the situation is resolved by the Township.

By the time, she reached the teacher, the girl had been missing for about five minutes. “The teacher called the students back from their run and the kids responded instantly and diligently,” he said. The students dispersed, looking through the forest, the back fields and

near the school. “Within three or four minutes they found the girl by our portables,” he said. The child was quickly reunited with her mom. “This is a really good news story and good representation of our students at Walnut Grove,” said Kozlovic.

Mail theft is rampant, Langley RCMP warn MONIQUE TAMMINGA AND DAN FERGUSON Times Reporters

Just a day after Langley RCMP warned residents that mail theft is rampant right now, police discovered a crashed truck full of stolen mail on Thursday morning. Langley RCMP are warning residents that over the last month, neighbourhoods throughout the Langleys have been victimized by mailbox break-ins. “This past Monday (Oct. 21) alone, 18 mailboxes were pried open and the mail items may have been stolen,” said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. The thefts are happening both in apartment mailboxes and residential community mailboxes, she said. Early Thursday morning, police were called to a crash where a red 1991 Ford Lariat truck collided with a power pole in the 3200 block of 200 Street. The driver fled the scene. However, police found a large quantity of stolen mail around the truck. Most of the stolen mail appears to be from Langley and Surrey, said police. After being analyzed by forensics, the mail will be returned to Canada Post and redelivered with letters letting customers know what happened. The truck was stolen in Abbotsford. In the meantime, police are now warning the public to be on the look out for identify theft, and to watch credit card amounts and bank statements. Mounties are also asking the public to be particularly vigilant and report suspicious people, vehicles or activity in their neighbourhood, especially in close proximity to mailboxes. Langley RCMP Street Enforcement Unit is working closely with Canada Post and neighbouring police agencies to address the issue and identify the person(s) responsible. “We recognize mail theft as being a significant problem throughout the Lower Mainland. Langley’s property crime unit is fully engaged in trying to apprehend the offenders,” said Supt. Derek Cooke. “I would strongly encourage Langley residents to ensure they retrieve their mail every afternoon and not allow it to accumulate for a lengthy period of time.” Langley Township council wants to see community mailboxes made more secure and is sending that message to Canada Post. Calling Canada Post community mailboxes “inferior” and “poorly designed” Councillor Steve Ferguson convinced a majority of Township council to back his campaign for improvements to the design of the grouped-together

boxes, which have been installed in new residential areas in lieu of house-to-house delivery since 1985. Ferguson said the mailboxes have become easy targets for break-ins. “Mail theft, tampering and vandalism became a problem the day after the [first] community boxes were installed,” Ferguson said. His written resolution, approved by a majority of council on Oct. 21, asks the post office to “put into place measures to make these community mailboxes secure from forced entry and theft” and to consider adopting Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles to make the mailboxes less vulnerable. CPTED, which is endorsed by the RCMP and other Canadian police forces, calls for a mix of “target hardening,” high-visibility environmental design, lighting and other measures to discourage criminals. Ferguson told council he has been told the post office is considering steps to make the community boxes more theft-proof. However, a call to the customer service department of Canada Post said they hadn’t heard of a new, more secure boxes being installed anywhere. Calls and emails made by The Times to Canada Post have not been returned. There are more than 20,000 community mailboxes in B.C. serving one in four households. Canada Post has said in the past that it holds no responsibility for its customers’ mail once it is delivered. In the meantime, Langley RCMP would like to offer some prevention tips to minimize the opportunities for mail theft. You should: - Retrieve your mail as soon as possible after delivery. Don’t leave mail unattended in your mailbox overnight; - If you’re planning a holiday, have someone retrieve your mail on a daily basis or for a small fee, Canada Post will hold your mail at the delivery office and deliver it upon your return; - If you receive mail that is not yours, do not leave it in an unprotected area. Write delivered to wrong address or not at this address on the front of the envelope. Deposit the letter into an outgoing mail slot of a Canada Post mailbox at your earliest convenience; - Check the physical security of your mailbox to ensure there are no gaps or damage; - Report any suspicious activity to police. The RCMP works closely with Canada Post postal inspectors to combat mail and identity theft; and - If you see a damaged or overturned mailbox, contact Canada Post at 1-800-267-1177

Grade 9 students at White Rock Christian Academy raised more than $1,000 for Miss Rose, whose shop was broken into in September and wigs made for cancer patients were taken. The students organized three fundraisers — non-uniform day, bake sale and pizza day — raising $1,090 for the House of Miss Rose. They presented Rose Adams with a cheque last week. “They were unbelievable, those kids,” said Adams. “I gave every one of them a hug. “They made me see there are more beautiful people in this world than bad.” She plans to use the money to replace the wigs that were stolen from cancer patients. Miss Rose has been thoughtfully outfitting cancer patients with wigs for more than 20 years. A cancer survivor herself, she makes it her mission to make sure every person that walks through her door walks away with a wig they can feel confident about wearing. On Sept. 17, thieves smashed three windows of her shop in

Resistance to Walnut Grove development NEIGHBOURS DECRY PROPOSAL TO SUBDIVIDE LOT DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

Opponents of a proposal to redevelop a large Walnut Grove lot into six smaller lots packed Langley Township council chambers on Monday, Oct. 21. There were more than 100 people in the audience and about 40 of them spoke at the evening public hearing, all but three against the idea of rezoning a one-acre parcel at 204 Street and 93A Avenue into six smaller lots to accommodate single family homes.

DAN FERGUSON Langley Times

Bill Holliday was one of more than 30 speakers against a proposal that would subdivide a Walnut Grove lot to build six single-family homes.

of the proposal, only a few signs that went up briefly and were taken down quickly. Despite that, Larouche said he was able to gather 73 names on a petition against the proposal from his neighbours. “Only three people refused to sign,” Larouche said, the same ones who spoke at the hearing. Another opponent of the plan, long-time resident Bill Holliday, said he wanted to preserve the current neighbourhood the way it is. “I don’t agree with all these crammed-in little houses,” Holliday said. Speaking for the develop-

They said the proposal would erode the character of their community, increase traffic and drive down property values, while a spokesman for the developer, Green Grove Homes Ltd., said the plan is within the community plan density guidelines set in 1979 for the area. While the development would increase traffic, it would not drive down property values, the developer said. Opponent Andre Larouche said residents weren’t given much advance warning

er, Robert Thompson said the houses that would be built on the smaller lots will be detached single-family houses, not “high-density” housing as defined by the Township. He promised high-quality materials and good-looking houses that would fit in with look of the other homes in the area. As for the traffic concerns expressed by some residents, Thompson said the only way to have no increase in traffic would be to do nothing at all with the property. A final decision on the proposal will be made at a future council meeting.

Boy’s condition worsens

M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

Friends of six-year-old cancer patient Keian Blundell are again asking Langley residents to rally in support of the boy, as things have taken a turn for the worst. Keian’s condition has greatly worsened since the community set a record with a one-day bottle drive to raise funds for his family in August. “Last week, Keian went into the BC Children’s Hospital clinic for routine bloodwork and it was discovered that the leukemia had returned all throughout his blood again,” said Megan Sedawie Creasy, a friend of the family. “This was devastating news for the family, as it meant that the last resort chemotherapy drug was not working. In a family meeting, doctors told Keian’s parents Chantal and Ryan that there was nothing more that could be done with Keian’s treatment.” Doctors don’t believe Keian will live much longer. His parents moved with Keian and their younger son Joren to Canucks Place last Friday. “This move, however, does not imply defeat; Keian and his family are still fighting daily for the miracle they desperately need and deserve,” she said. Sedawie Creasy said Langley has great meaning for the family and she is hoping the community can rally for the Blundells by sending cards and letter of support to Keian at Canucks Place. She is also selling Team Keian bracelets with all proceeds going to the family. Those bracelets can be bought at http://fundrazr.com/campaigns/4Ziqe. “I would love if Langley would rally together and put up white holiday lights around homes in honour of Keian and his fight.

OH LOVE PHOTOGR APHY

Call 604.803.5041

This photo of six-year-old Keian Blundell was taken during a family photo session on Oct. 12, just before they received word that his cancer has spread. The white lights would symbolize that we are supporting this family and uniting as a community to do so.” Keian was diagnosed with leukemia in July 2012. He has undergone radiation treatments, chemotherapy and received a bone marrow transplant from his younger brother Joren, but the cancer has come back twice. Keian began a third round of treatment at the end of July. The money raised by the bottle drive and other fundraisers will help Keian’s parents who have both taken time away from work to spend as much time as they can with their son. Ryan has exhausted his employment insurance benefits and the family has had to give up their rental home in Langley. They were temporarily living in an apartment provided by the hospital.

Compassionate care EI pays for 35 weeks but for parents in this type of battle with cancer, that just isn’t enough.They have struggled to pay car insurance, she said. But the $41,000 raised so far has been a huge help and they are incredibly grateful, said Sedawie Creasy. When asked what would Keian want people to know, Sedawie said this: “Keian is such a brave, fearless young boy. He would tell people to never give up on themselves or their dreams. He would tell people not to be afraid of the intimidating events in life, and to fight in order to conquer those obstacles. He is a very intelligent and thoughtful boy, and he makes sure that everyone he loves not only knows that he loves them but knows why. He would want everyone to share their feelings just like he does so everyone knows they’re loved.”

Damaging scandal we

Published Tuesday and Thursday at 20258 Fraser Highway, Langley, B.C., V3A 4E6 by Black Press Ltd. Sales agreement No. 3298280. Contents copyright of Black Press.

The ongoing Senate scandal has certainly done its share of damage — to the prime minister, the Conservative Party, the institution of the Senate and politicians in general. The damage may not spread past that group, but it is significant and it may be lasting. The Senate is certainly at its low point. It has never been popular with Canadians, being seen as a repository for bagmen, party hacks and failed politicians. While a few individual senators have done important and significant work, as a whole the institution does little of lasting importance. Now it has clearly been shown that many senators, and this goes far beyond Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau, have had their hands in the cookie jar. Even when they get caught, the Senate and indeed the prime minister do little or nothing to change the culture of entitlement, which is widespread through the federal government. It isn’t just politicians who feel they are entitled to benefits that most other Canadians don’t get. Public servants have clauses in their contracts relating to sick leave, indexed pensions, severance and extended health care that most others can only dream of. The prime minister first took office in 2006 on a pledge to reform the Senate. It is now clear he has no idea of how to do so. A court decision in Quebec has basically ruled all his reform ideas cannot be implemented, and the court decision implies that the Senate will never be abolished, unless most provinces agree. Even if, in the court of public opinion, Stephen Harper is cleared of direct knowledge of off-the-books payments to senators, the public won’t soon forget that he appointed these three senators, and that he campaigned vigorously on Senate reform. As for the Conservative Party, in the next election its fortunes are totally tied to Harper. If he falters, so does the party. It has no plan B.

Question langeytimes.com

of the week

Should three disgraced Canadian senators be suspended without pay?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

they

Our municipalities and province likely won’t be using internet voting to help determine election results anytime soon. That doesn’t mean we won’t eventually be using such a method to cast our ballots in future. An independent panel tasked by Elections B.C. to study internet voting recommended this week that any such system not be implemented in time for the upcoming municipal election, nor the next B.C. vote. But it did suggest that a technical committee be struck to look into the matter further and that the legislature should support jurisdictions that wish to pursue the option in future. The preliminary report released Wednesday offered less than lukewarm support for the idea. It confirmed that making voting easier for people in this way — those who are incapacitated, can’t work a trip to their local polling station into their schedule, or are too lazy to do so come to mind — has not been shown in other jurisdictions to significantly increase voter turnout. As for the large group of people who feel their vote doesn’t matter, or don’t care enough to vote in the first place, they present another challenge altogether, one likely not solvable with online voting. Increasing voter turnout at any level still comes down to individuals and parties doing the legwork and convincing non-voters of the importance of getting engaged in their communities, and potentially making a difference through casting their ballot. That said, the world is fast becoming an all-digital environment, where computers and cellphones can be used for virtually any transaction. While the report states the current system of voting is trusted by those who vote, that factor will become less meaningful as time goes on and generations that have grown up with technology become our communities’ core voters. We may not have the most efficient or system-improving internet voting experiences to draw from yet, but now is the best time to begin investigating this option, to be ready for when it is the best alternative. — Victoria News

Serious concerns about burning Editor: The World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed that air pollution is a carcinogen. Wood smoke contains carbon monoxide (CO), sulphur dioxide (SO2), dioxins, volatile organic compounds and fine particles, and it contributes to air pollution. Many of the substances found in tobacco smoke are also found in wood smoke. Wood smoke particles are so tiny they remain suspended in the air for long periods of time and can penetrate into buildings with incoming air. Even at low levels, wood smoke is harmful to respiratory immune responses and can cause life-threatening events (heart attack) as well as exposing individuals to lifelong issues by damaging lung tissue. The B.C. government document “A smoke management framework for British Columbia” contained the following statement: “there is a considerable and growing body of epidemiological and toxicological evidence that both acute and chronic exposure to wood smoke....are associated with adverse health impacts.” It also contains the following statement: “sources that emit in close proximity (e.g. your neighbours) have a higher intake fraction (are more damaging)” and “sources that emit from elevated stacks tend to have lower intake fractions versus sources at ground levels.” This applies to backyard burn piles. Langley Township issues burn permits, which usually allow burning for one month. While the permit provides some guidelines on how to build a “safe” burn pile, it provides no information on the need to eliminate or minimize smoke both during and after the burn, nor does it provide any information on health issues caused by burn-

ing permitted material, which includes all types of yard waste. There is only one air pollution monitoring station in Langley. It is located at D.W. Poppy Secondary School. The station at Lochiel School in South Langley went out of service over 10 years ago. This makes it possible for local and provincial bodies to claim that there is no data suggesting an issue with the burning of wood waste in residents’ backyards. My personal experience is that there are many issues, both health and enforcement related. I have seen two fires on one property (only one is permitted). I have found pieces of burned plastic on my property, blown there on those dreadful days when the wind direction blows the smoke towards my house, instead of over the house of the neighbour generating the smoke. Burning plastic material is prohibited. In the 16 years I have lived here, this year has been the worst for smoke in the air. I have had days when neighbours’ fires and smoke essentially surrounded my property. I have inhaled smoke from fires that have been smoking for anywhere between 12 and 24 hours, all within half a mile of my residence. It makes no sense to that anyone should be allowed to burn material in their backyard. The world is facing significant climate change issues as a result of global warming, which is caused by greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. Smoke from wood burning contributes to atmospheric GHGs. In September, the UN International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report confirming that climate change is real, that average temperatures will increase by between two and six degrees by 2050, and it is being caused by

human activity releasing GHGs into the atmosphere. A recent study shows that temperatures at the Arctic are the highest they have been for 44,000 years, as a direct result of global warming. It is probable that all the ice caps will disappear by mid-century. In Washington state, it is illegal to smoke out your neighbours. Anyone generating smoke which exceeds 20 percent opacity for six minutes or more is subject to a fine. BC’s Ministry of Water Land and Air Protection has provided B.C. municipalities with a guide on waste burning, which includes the suggestion that the practice be banned. It can be found at http://www.env.gov. bc.ca/epd/bcairquality/reports/pdfs/model-bylaw-backyard-burning.pdf. Where a municipality elects to continue the practice, the fees suggested are significantly higher than those charged by the Township, and a system of enforcement and fines is suggested. The Township, together with Metro, should be able to come up with a waste-burning strategy which eliminates the release of GHGs into the atmosphere and perhaps even generates something useful, such as adding power into the electrical grid. Instead of charging $15 for a one-month burn permit, Township could implement a charge which equals or exceeds the amount charged at waste stations. Alternatively, the Township could stop issuing burn permits at all, and set up a collection system, with a reasonable charge, and take the material to a waste or transfer station for disposal.

EFFORTS TO REDUCE FIREWORKS USE STEP IN RIGHT DIRECTION that can be done unless the culprits are in fact caught in the act, I am assured by both men that every effort is being taken to at least reduce the use of fireworks. There are still so many options available to the public to access fireworks, and it is difficult to monitor and enforce the bylaws. I was pleased that both people contacted

School, daycare doing a good job Editor: While the letters to the editor are often flooded with complaints about the education system and child care in B.C., I thought it was timely to share how much we love our neighbourhood school and daycare. This letter goes out to all the staff at Parkside Centennial Elementary and Precious Moments Daycare in Aldergrove, both of which my Grade 2 son has attended since Kindergarten. From the start, the administration, teachers and support staff at Parkside Elementary and Pre-

cious Moments Daycare continue to awe us with their caring, patience, and love for our son. When he is at school and daycare, he feels safe, cared for and special, which enables him to take risks and learn. The staff at both the school and the daycare work tirelessly to understand our son and better support him, so that he experiences academic, emotional and social success. As his parents, we are very involved in his school and daycare life which has helped to create a very open relationship with all of

Graffiti not welcome Editor: This photo shows one of several “tags,” as they like to call them. They were placed this weekend on BC Hydro boxes outside two local funeral home properties in Aldergrove. What sort of individual chooses to deface property in front of a funeral home? We looked around the neighbourhood and found other Hydro boxes not defaced, so it would appear that the funeral homes were targeted. One of the photo I took shows a BC Hydro box that was not defaced, only two doors from our funeral home. The others show Hydro boxes, deliberately defaced with “tags.” Apparently this is a message of sorts. Who knew? We have information that the tags are identifiable and the perpetrators will be caught and brought to justice. Not fame. That is what they seek, and we will not give it to them. If you are the one who did this, come back and clean it up, no questions asked.

Phone calls about concerns appreciated Editor: I recently wrote a letter to the editor about how fireworks traumatize pets at this time of year (The Times, Oct. 17). I must tell you that I did in fact receive a phone call from Bill Storie (of the Langley Township bylaw department) and also Mayor Jack Froese regarding the issue, which involves the use of fireworks. Although there appears to be very little

his teachers. Parkside Elementary is a school with a large population, serving students with diverse needs and ethnic, social and economic backgrounds. We are very grateful that our son experiences this diversity in such a positive and grounded environment. Thank you again to the entire staff of Parkside Centennial Elementary and Precious Moments Daycare. We are so grateful to have you in our son’s life. LORI OPPER, ALDERGROVE

No binges here Editor: While Aaron Purewall from England (The Times, Oct. 24) finds it strange that in B.C., liquor is only sold in liquor stores. Coming from England, Purewall knows very well why liquor sales are restricted in B.C. Just Google “binge drinking UK” and check out the mayhem caused by freely available alcohol, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Most local authorities in the U.K. have an army of cleaners that go out on graveyard shift,

cleaning up broken glass, windows etc. Extending retail sales of liquor will also put a drain on hospitals and the health system in general. No thanks, we are fine the way we are. I don’t mind driving 10 minutes to a BC Liquor store if I need to. We simply cannot afford the financial consequences of cheap beer on a 24x7 basis. J. BEAUMAN, LANGLEY

With Halloween just a couple of days away, it’s time to carve those pumpkins and stock up on candy for the pint-sized princesses, pirates and superheroes who will soon come a-knocking. For many Langley residents, deciding on the amount of candy to purchase for Oct. 31 can be a real guessing game. In some areas, kids come by the busload, while other neighbourhoods become a ghost town — well, one without little ghosts and goblins, that is. In recent years, many Langley parents have begun optioning for a well-lit, warm trick-ortreating experience that steers clear of screeching bottle rockets and provides refuge from the elements. For those looking for an alternative to outdoor trick-ortreating or an additional way to celebrate, there’s no shortage

of ‘spooktacular’ events and activities in Langley leading up to Halloween. From eerie indoor displays and parades to ghost tours and bowling parties, here are a handful of things to boo ... er, more like do.

Last year, more than 2,000 kids filled the mall to seek refuge from the downpour and fill their bags and buckets with goodies. While Megan Mccrea, the marketing director for the shopping centre said the mall’s not expecting as big a crowd this year, it’s still going to be busy. “It’s safe, warm and people appreciate a community event,” she said, noting that 100 per cent of the proceeds goes straight to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. To participate, parents are asked to register at one of the following entrances: Sport Chek, Swimco or The Pantry. When: Oct. 31 (5-6 p.m.) Where: 19705 Fraser Hwy. Cost: $2 per child up to age 12.

you wouldn’t pay a bill without making sure the charges are correct. Similarly our property managers do the same and any cost savings we receive, we pass along to our clients. We look after the buildings as if they were our own”, said Tong. Problems do arise but this company will go that extra mile to find a solution. For example a local low rise apartment building’s underground parking lot and elevator shaft was flooding every winter. After going through three management companies in seven years the Strata Council contacted REMI Realty company president Cau. He took the lead and he suspected that the storm sewers might be clogged. He consulted with City Hall and he was proved right. A contractor was hired and the blocked storm sewers were cleared. In the past three winters, the flooding has not reoccurred. “REMI has done an outstanding job, we are very glad we made the switch,” said a happy Strata Council president. Excellent customer service, superior technical knowledge and top notch communication skills have contributed to make REMI Realty the premier property management company in Langley. Call 604-530-9944 or visit their website at www.remirealty.ca to see for yourself why this is a strata management company with a difference. by Lilianne Fuller

embarking on various projects choosing the lowest quote offered isn’t always the best solution. “We help our clients move ahead and we ensure there are no surprises.” said Cau. Reviewing financial statements can be difficult and without an accompanying explanation proper decision making is almost impossible. “We understand that numbers can be confusing so that is why every month the client is given a comprehensive management report to go with the statements. “ said Tong. “These reports supplement the financials so that our clients can make an informed decision.” she continued. REMI employs a team of ten staff. Their property managers have at least ten years of experience. In fact, company president Wayne Cau has two decades of experience in this field. At REMI, providing excellent customer service is important and if there is an emergency after business hours the property managers are available 24/7. “They are simply a telephone call away.” added Cau. One of the differences that separates this company from the others is that REMI Realty specializes in real estate management and their property managers are not in the business of buying and selling property. “They focus strictly on property management and its inherent needs. Our company manages all classes of property from strata properties to commercial investments.” said Cau. Because of good relationships developed with trades people and direct distribution companies the property managers are able to minimize strata maintenance fees. Also, to further limit costs and save money the company will not pay invoices without first scrutinizing them. This is to ensure there are no inflated charges and that the strata is not paying for items that aren’t necessary. “In your household,

“Since the day REMI started working with us they have shown their commitment to our building’s concerns. We are very impressed with the way REMI has delivered on their promises… REMI is a proacƟve company and will suggest things that can save the strata money”

KPU Langley piano instructor Jane Hayes will perform on Sunday, Nov. 3 with the Fraser Valley Symphony.

An afternoon of classics The Fraser Valley Symphony begins its 30th anniversary season with a fall concert on Nov. 3, entitled “The Classics” featuring music by ever-popular Viennese composers W.A. Mozart and Franz Schubert. Guest soloist will be pianist Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Langley music instructor, Jane Hayes, performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor, K 491. Since her debut with the Toronto Symphony, Hayes’ concerts have taken her across Canada, the United States and Europe. In addition to being director of keyboard studies at KPU in Langley, Hayes maintains a busy performing and adjudicating schedule. Included in the program will be two works by Schubert, Overture in the Italian Style D 590 and Symphony No. 5 “The Little.” The overture captured the popularity of Italian music in Vienna in 1816, and the symphony, composed the same year, was strongly influenced by the music of Mozart, whom Schubert greatly admired. The concert will take place at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, 32315 South Fraser Way in Abbotsford, Sunday, Nov. 3 at 3 p.m. Doors open at 2:30 p.m. Admission: $16 adults; $13 seniors and students; $6 child 12 years and under.

Guests channeled their inner Picasso at a painting party hosted by the Fort Langley Studio recently. Langley artist Freda Lombard is taking lessons to her students, by having residents host parties where guests are wined and dined and given a canvas to decorate.

Painting parties make a splash HOT NE W TRE ND AL LOWS GUE STS TO EXPLORE ARTISTIC SIDE KRIST YL CLAR K Times Con tributor

Move over, Tupperware. Step aside, cosmetics and cleaning product parties. There’s a new soirée trend in Langley that’s catching on quick and turning its participants into budding Picassos. When Freda Lombard isn’t busy filing police reports for the Vancouver 9-1-1 Centre, the 39-year-old Langley resident can be found teaching men and women of all ages how to work wonders with a paint brush inside their homes. Around three years ago, the mother-oftwo from South Africa started her side business — Zealous Art & Painting Parties. It didn’t take long for her colourful idea to take flight. “It all started off with me painting at home,” said Lombard, who was given an easel and acrylic paints as a gift from her husband for Christmas back in 2009.

DISNEY DRESSUP!

Despite never having taken an art class, Lombard found painting came naturally to her. “I used to do a little fabric painting in South Africa years ago, but that’s about it. “Friends would come over for a coffee and say ‘how do you do that?” After teaching several friends how to create their own masterpieces on a blank canvas, step-by-step, Lombard realized she wanted to branch out and teach as a part-time gig. For the parties, Lombard brings all the materials, which includes a canvas, palettes, brushes, paints, aprons and a ghetto blaster. To date, she has led painting parties that range from birthday celebrations, baby and bridal showers to corporate events. They’re especially popular with women who want to have a girls’ night in. While many of the participants are shy

about picking up a paintbrush at first, it doesn’t take long for them to come out of their shell. Of course, a little liquid courage helps get the creative juices flowing. “I always say you don’t need to be an artist — you just need to have friends around you, be yourself, maybe drink some wine and be adventurous,” said Lombard, who is always amazed by the pieces that the so-called ‘unartistic’ types create. “I love seeing them realize they are doing it and start to fall in love with their own paintings. After just a few strokes they begin to relax. People leave and cannot believe what they’ve done.” Lombard’s favourite part of the shindigs comes at the end. That’s when a group photo of all the participants and their finished paintings is taken.

Go Beyond Fibre this weekend

S u b m i t ted p hoto

The Beyond Fibre exhibition and sale takes place this weekend.

Looking for gifts for Christmas or other occasions? If so, plan to pop by the Langley Weavers’ and Spinners’ Guild Artisans’ Sale Beyond Fibre this weekend in Fort Langley. The sale includes everything from designer clothing and accessories to items for the home. There will also be beautiful woven blankets and tea towels, pillows, hand-crafted Santas and baskets for the home. In addition, guest artisans will be on hand to offer a selection of items such as hand-crafted leather work, sheep skin slippers, stained glass and tasty cranberry products, just to mention a few. Also featured this year is the work of Master Weaver Laura Fry. She is a renowned author

and teacher who designs and produces beautiful items. Weaving and spinning will be demonstrated by guild members. To purchase fibre arts supplies and equipment, visit the wool room on the stage where there is a varied selection of materials available. This year’s silent auction will feature some of the shawls that were created at sheep-toshawl events this spring and summer. The artisans’ sale takes place on Saturday, Nov. 2 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday, Nov. 3, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Fort Langley Community Hall, 9167 Glover Rd. Admission is by donation. Check the website at www. lwsg.org to view pictures from previous years.

You bring wine, she’ll bring paint From Page 15

“In many cases, the finished product provides a little insight into the artist who created it, said Lombard. “Everyone’s painting is a reflection of themselves, whether it be bold, wild, etc.” Recently, Lombard has also begun teaching painting parties at the Fort Langley Studio on Glover Road — an event that is offered monthly. “We remove all the expensive paintings and do the party right

in the studio on a Friday night,” explained Lombard. “They’re a lot of fun.” For those who prefer a private setting, Lombard is happy to make house calls. “You pick a date and we’ll go over the type of painting you’d like to create. I have different scenes you can choose from. Or if you like, I can recreate something and make it a simple painting. All you have to do is provide the cocktails and snacks.” While life has been busy on

the home front with two children, aged 12 and 15, a full-time job and a new business to boot, Lombard says she has a great support system. “I have an awesome family. They jump in and always know where everything is, to make life easier. I’m very lucky.” For more information about Zealous Art & Painting Parties, visit www.zealousart.com.

Health Matters prescription medications have been shown to reduce the frequency of attacks – beta blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, calcium channel blockers and some BOB SANGHA seizure medications. Talk to Pharmacist, BSc your doctor – up to 80 per cent of migraines can be effectively managed. Migraine sufferers may start with a tension headache that morphs into a migraine. Manage the tension headache quickly to prevent the progression. A warm shower, temple massage, an ice pack on the head or laying down with a cold, damp towel over the forehead and eyes can help. Relax and take a nap or take a walk. Sometimes the fresh air is all you need to stop it in its tracks. Our pharmacists have knowledge of the variety of headache treatments – whether for migraine, tension or other headaches. Ask about what would be best for you.

The pain of migraine is real – although there are no specific tests for diagnosing them. For this reason, sufferers often experience some degree of stigma. This can take an emotional toll and increase the stress that can trigger some migraines. If you suffer from migraine, you owe it to yourself to get a proper diagnosis, identify your triggers and work with your doctor to find a treatment plan that works for you. Migraines affect about 1 billion people around the world. Identifying what triggers migraine is key to managing them. Keep a migraine diary and focus on looking for links between your migraines and some of the more common triggers; certain foods, hunger, alcohol, dehydration, sleep issues, stress, hormones and/or menstrual cycle, flickering lights (fluorescents), odours/fragrances and weather patterns. The best way to treat a migraine is to avoid it – that’s why understanding triggers is so important. Lifestyle changes can help – exercising, getting good sleep, eating right and staying hydrated.

You & The Law

PRESENTS Claiming treatment costs when injured Hurt in a car crash or other accident caused by someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fault? You could get money compensation. This typically includes money for â&#x20AC;&#x153;special damagesâ&#x20AC;? (in addition to compensation for wage loss, pain and suffering, etc.). In legal lingo, the mysterious â&#x20AC;&#x153;special damagesâ&#x20AC;? compensation category in this kind of case simply means your out-ofpocket costs before the trial. Some examples are the costs of medications, medical and some other treatments, taxi or mileage reimbursement to drive to doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appointments, and repair costs of damaged property (like getting a damaged car fixed). Of course, the expenses have to be as a result of the accident that caused your injuries. The particular cost item has to be an amount that can be exactly calculated. But it usually isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in dispute if documented (be sure to keep receipts). Still, there are limits on what expenses you can recover as special damages. In a recent 2013 case, the B.C. Supreme Court had to deal with a large claim for special damages by the victim of a car crash. Lucinda, a social worker, was rearended by another vehicle. She suffered soft tissue injuries (e.g., sore back and neck) and more than three years later, still experienced intermittent pain, stiffness and discomfort. She was also diagnosed with a chronic pain syndrome. By the time of the court hearing, Lucinda, 41, had received numerous treatments. They included over $46,500 worth of massage therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic treatments, physiotherapy, kinesiology, reflexology and naturopathic treatments. But she had gone for more treatment sessions than medically supported. She had also taken some treatments she felt would be beneficial, but which werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t based on medical recommendation.

The court explained that, in general, whether you can get reimbursement for your â&#x20AC;&#x153;special damagesâ&#x20AC;? depends on whether they were â&#x20AC;&#x153;reasonable.â&#x20AC;? One factor in assessing whether treatment expenses are reasonable is to look at whether they were medically justified. You may be entitled to a very high standard of care, i.e., reasonable care may equate with very high care. But youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not allowed carte blanche to undertake any and all therapies which you believe will make you feel good. Lucinda therefore could recover compensation for only some of her massage therapy, chiropractic and acupuncture sessions. She was also able to get reimbursed the cost of some other treatments like kinesiology, physiotherapy treatments and Pilates sessions, since they were in line with medical advice. But she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to recover the expenses for things like naturopathic treatments and reflexology, since they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t proven to be reasonable in this instance. Now, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hurt in a car crash in BC and are insured by ICBC, you can also get some limited â&#x20AC;&#x153;no-faultâ&#x20AC;? benefits (so-called Part 7 benefits) directly from ICBC. These are paid out over time; you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to wait until your lawsuit is resolved or goes to trial to receive these payments. Be sure to promptly seek good legal assistance if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hurt through someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fault or negligence. There may be a short, limited time period to take certain steps in your circumstances â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and special damages is just one small piece of the overall puzzle.

Langley actress takes on Tom Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just about time to whitewash that fence, all over again. Gallery 7 Theatre is set to present Mark Twainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comical tale, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, as the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening main stage production of the 2013-14 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Spice of Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; theatre season. Audiences are invited to rediscover the classic American tale about that lovable scalawag, Tom Sawyer, as he sets out for fun and adventure, breaking the rules as he goes. All the classic moments from the Mark Twain story are here: the discovery of how to get rid of warts using a dead cat, the murder of Doc Robinson, Tom and Huckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pirating adventure to Jackson Island, and, of course, the infamous white-washing incident. Through his exploits, Tom discovers the value of purpose, and the importance of family, love, and telling the truth. Fresh off the New York stage, this new adaptation by Laura Eason, promises to be an entertaining experience for theatre-goers of all ages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The play moves quickly and lightly along as it touches on all the key moments of Twainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story,â&#x20AC;? explains executive/artistic director, Ken Hildebrandt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It captures the charm and treachery of its various characters, and uses some simple and creative theatre devices to re-tell the story in a refreshed, engaging and modern way. â&#x20AC;? The cast, who will play multiple roles throughout the production, features both new and veteran Gallery 7 Theatre performers. Playing the title role of Tom Sawyer is Phil Dyck, who will be remembered for his energetic performance as the character in Gallery 7â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn back in 2008. Becky, Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love interest, is played by newcomer and Langley resident Brittany Suderman, and the infamous young ruffian, Huckleberry Finn, is played by Forest Eliot Shuster.Â The Adventures of Tom Sawyer will run Nov. 8 and 9; Nov. 14 to 16 and Nov. 21 to 23 at 7:30 p.m. with discount matinees Nov. 9, 16 and 23 at 2 p.m.

Viktor Dombrovskiy had yet to play at BCHL regular season game and hadn’t even started his Grade 11 year. Yet he had earned himself a scholarship offer to one of the most prestigious post-secondary schools: Yale. And while some junior A hockey players might have waited to see if any other schools were interested, Dombrovskiy jumped at the chance. “It was the school that I wanted and the offer came, so I took it,” explained Dombrovskiy, who is now in his final year of high school at Langley Secondary. The 17-year-old is also a defenceman for the Langley Rivermen. “The overall history of the school and the whole atmosphere there,” he explained about choosing the Ivy League school. “I felt I fit in there both academically and on the hockey team so it was just a good choice for me.” And Dombrovskiy isn’t just smart in the classroom either as Rivermen head coach Bobby Henderson raves about the blue-liners on-ice smarts as well. “He makes a good lead pass and knows when to pick his spots offensively,” the coach said. “And he is pretty good at finding seams and is just a heady player.” Last year, Dombrovskiy was one of the rare players who played in the BCHL at age 16, many times against opponents five years older. “For him to be a regular at 16, as an under-sized guy, speaks to his ability,” Henderson said. “I think back to his first 10 games and he was in and out of the lineup. “More than anything, it was just confidence and the consistency of playing a full 60-minute game.” Dombrovskiy admits that last season was all about adjusting to faster, bigger opponents. “I got used to the players and the calibre of hockey,” he said. And while he raised his own expectations heading into his sophomore BCHL season, Dombrovskiy said his game remains the same. In the 2012/13 campaign, he had three goals and 10 assists in 45 games. And through the first 16 games of this season, Dombrovskiy has put up four assists. While the numbers may not be eye-popping, his overall play did earn Dombrovskiy an invite to the training camp for the Canada West roster for the upcoming World Junior A Hockey Challenge. The event runs Nov. 4 to Nov. 10 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. The training camp began on Saturday in Calgary and runs until tomorrow (Oct. 30). The team then heads straight to Nova Scotia with the cuts returning to their respective junior A clubs. “Definitely excited and looking forward to the great experience,” Dombrovskiy said last week, adding that earning an invitation was one of his goals for the season. “It is a good opportunity to have

The Coquitlam native played in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League with the Vancouver NE Chiefs before joining Langley. But while some may have been tempted to try their luck in the WHL, Dombrovskiy was always focused on the BCHL. “I have always had college aspirations,” he said. “I wanted to take advantage and get my schooling paid for. “Education is a big thing — if hockey doesn’t work out, you have a college degree to back you up when you need it.” Dombrovskiy plans on studying business or economics when he enrols at Yale.

Rivermen rout Express, rally to beat Warriors In a battle of division leaders, it was the Langley Rivermen rallying for the victory over the West Kelowna Warriors. The Rivermen were down 2-0 early in the second period before rallying for the game’s final three goals to win 3-2 in overtime on Saturday (Oct. 26) in BCHL junior A hockey action at the Langley Events Centre. The Warriors (12-40-2) lead the Interior Division with 26 points while the Rivermen (11-5-1-1) are atop the Mainland Division with 24 points. The winning goal came on the power play as seven seconds after the Warriors took a high-sticking penalty, Will Cook blasted home the winner. The Warriors had jumped ahead 2-0 after taking advantage of some Rivermen penalty problems with two Langley players receiving five-minute blow to the head — and game misconducts — within a 21 second span late in the first period. Jordan Masters made it 1-0 at 1:01 of the second period and 2:16 later, Connor Buscis doubled the lead. But that would be all the offence West Kelowna could muster the rest of the game. Langley captain Mitch McLain got the comeback going with a goal at the 11:51 mark of the second and then tied the score with his second of the game at 4:08 of the third. Brock Crossthwaite made 24 saves for the victory. It was Langley’s second win of the week as on Oct. 24 they blasted the Coquitlam Express 12-2. In that game, defenceman Chris Forney had three goals and five points to lead the attack.

The championships were held on Oct. 23 at Abbotsford’s Clearbrook Park. Ellenwood finished the 5.5 km course in 16:44.02, a dozen seconds ahead of Heritage Woods’ Joshua Kozelj. Taking third place was Walnut Grove’s Joel Harrison with a time of 17:01.02. Mountain’s Jordan Schmidt was also golden at the Fraser Valleys, winning the Grade 8 boys’ 3.3 km race. Schmidt was the lone competitor in the division to crack the 10-minute mark, finishing in 9:59.89, which was nearly nine seconds ahead of Earl Marriott’s Jaxon Mackie. Brookswood’s Tavia Jasper also medalled at the Fraser Valleys, placing third in the Grade 8 girls division. Jasper finished the 3.3 km course in 10:57.80, seven seconds behind Abbotsford’s Sienna Lens. Semiahmoo’s Haley Riberio (10:54.21) was second.

Kovacs nets pair as TWU through to final four The Trinity Western Spartans are through to the Canada West final four for a 10th straight year and are just one victory away from qualifying for the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) national championships. The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team received a pair of first-half goals from Vanessa Kovacs in a 2-0 Canada West quarter-final victory over the Saskatchewan Huskies on Saturday (Oct. 26) at Rogers Field on the TWU campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a real tough game and credit to Saskatchewan because they played extremely well and extremely physical,â&#x20AC;? said Spartans coach Graham Roxburgh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought there was some intelligent play on our side but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give us as much room out there and it was a battle.â&#x20AC;? The Huskies had plenty of early-match possession and had the Spartans under pressure in the first few minutes, but were unable to garner much in the way of quality chances. And after the first 15 minutes, the Spartans turned the tide. In the 31st minute, Krista Gommeringer

â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â who was denied on a pair of great opportunities â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â sent a free kick into the box which found a streaking Kovacs who snuck in all alone in the back door and volleyed the ball home from five yards out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel I can time her kicks well because she has a sweet spot that comes in back post,â&#x20AC;? Kovacs said. Less than seven minutes later, the Spartans doubled the lead on a nearly identical play as Gommeringer curled a ball into the area which Kovacs found and slammed home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously those two free kicks were excellent,â&#x20AC;? Roxburgh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gommeringerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service was incredible and Kovacs is someone who is going to get on the end of those types of crosses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were well-taken goals and probably calmed our nerves.â&#x20AC;? With the two-goal advantage, the Spartans were able to put up a defensive wall, surrendering just one quality scoring chance in the 77th minute which grazed the post. Goaltender Rachel Bedek made three saves for the shutout. The win was the Spartansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eighth

straight while also stretching their unbeaten streak to 11 games. The last team to defeat Trinity Western was the Victoria Vikes and the two teams meet on Friday in Victoria in one of the Canada West semifinals. The other semifinal pits Alberta versus UBC. The two winners will play for the Canada West gold medal and both advance to the CIS national championships in Toronto.

Late goal sinks playoff hopes

Langley Thunderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Donovan Weiss fights off the check as he tracks down the loose ball during Pacific Coast Field Lacrosse League tier 2 action against the Coquitlam Adanacs at Willoughby Community Park on Oct. 20. Coquitlam won 11-2. The Trinity Western Spartans post-season dreams came to an end on Saturday in Calgary. Needing to win both of their remaining two Canada West games, the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team surrendered the tying goal in the 86th minute and finished in a 1-1 draw with the Calgary Dinos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m gutted for the boys, but I

thought we played well enough to win,â&#x20AC;? said coach Pat Rohla. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The unfortunate thing is that our season gets decided on a dubious penalty kick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But those are the cards we were dealt and I really believe we have brighter days ahead.â&#x20AC;? Jerome Lou had opened the scoring in the ninth minute but

late in the game, the Spartans were whistled for a hand ball in the box. Rohla said it appeared the ball had glanced off the chest of Taylor Johnson. And Izak made no mistake, burying his shot past Andrew Hicks. The Spartans final game on Sunday in Lethbridge was cancelled due to heavy snow.
