A provincial move to protect groundwater is good in principle, but the details need sorting out to keep Langley residential well owners from facing the same restrictions and paying the same kind of fees commercial operators will. That is the position the Township of Langley is taking on the new Water Sustainability Act being drafted in Victoria, which is expected to come up for a vote in the legislature this spring. A letter outlining the Township well water worries has been sent to the Minister of Environment, Langley MLA Mary Polak. “The Township of Langley is pleased the provincial government is enacting policies to protect groundwater throughout British Columbia, but we want to ensure those measures do not come at the public’s cost,” Mayor Jack Froese said in a written release issued by the Township on Wednesday. “We would love to see legislation created to protect this vital resource in all areas, but we do have some concerns about the proposed act, especially regarding fees for use.” The big issues for the Township are proposed rules for groundwater extraction and use, and plans to make local governments and users pay water fees.

Gamers’ dispute leads to online bomb, kidnapping threats M ONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

An argument between a Langley online gamer and a male living in Vancouver spilled over, with police being called out after a bomb and kidnapping threat were made on Tuesday night, Jan. 14. Around 11:30 p.m., Langley RCMP were called by Peel Regional Police in Ontario about a call they received from a “spoof online phone” about a

possible kidnapping threat of a boy in Aldergrove. “We aren’t sure how the call went to Ontario police, but they directed it to us and we located an address which turned out not to exist,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. However, police did manage to locate the home where the gamer resided, two blocks away, she said. Langley officers spoke with

the gamer’s mom and dad and the investigation determined that the Langley gamer had a dispute with a Vancouver gamer by the name of “Yolandas.” Both had been playing Call of Duty. “There was some pretend money involved and one was unhappy about it,” said Marks. The gamer going by “Yolandas” is then accused of calling in the threat to police

using a non-traceable phone line. Police have since discovered this isn’t the first time “Yolandas” had done this. Vancouver Police tracked down an address. However, the family had moved. Police continue to investigate and hope to speak with “Yolandas,” who may be facing public mischief charges. “This ties up resources that could have been used for real emergencies,” said Marks.

Concerns raised over Griffith plan L I T T L E E N TH USIASM FOR IN C RE A SED D ENSIT Y D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Early on, there were concerns the Township staff running the open house on the Griffith Neighborhood Plan at the Fernridge Hall in Brookswood might be forced to close the doors to avoid violating the fire department limit of 110 occupants. A warning was issued to attendees, but while the crowds were considerable, enough people were leaving as newcomers arrived to stay within the maximum allowable number on Wednesday night (Jan. 15). Close to 300 people attended. As far as anyone knows, it was the first time such a warning has ever had to be issued at a Township open house. Most who attended the two-hour open house expressed concern about the proposal to increase housing density to accommodate more than twice as many people in the area. “We don’t want another Surrey,” said Balbir Bolla, who told The Times if multi-family housing is built, it must have enough parking. Paul Clymo said while he understands the reasoning for allowing more homes on smaller lots, he is concerned the Township is going too far. “You can’t have a bunch of people living in a tight space,” Clymo said, pointing to North Langley as an example of what not to do. “It’s a nightmare [there],” Clymo said. Another man, who declined to give his name, said that was exactly what the Township planners appear to be doing. “It’s kind of like taking Willoughby and flipping it to the south,” he said. The written comments posted on pro-

vided placards show few fans of the plan attended the open house. “I don’t like this,” one of the unsigned notes read. “I’m afraid that money is more important to the few who have planned this than the good of the residents,” said another. “Tooooo [sic] condensed” a third writer said. More than one written comment said residents do not want the development in the Brookswood area to follow the North Langley model. “Don’t do what you did to North Langley,” one note read, adding “we moved to South Langley for the space and quiet.” Several posted notes used identical wording: “No multi-family. Single only.” One writer went on to warn that “multi-family [housing] will change our neighbourhood in a negative way.” “Parking in all plans must be increased,” said one note, which complained that the “Township dropped the ball when they planned 72 Avenue, 200th to 204th.” The Griffith Neighbourhood Plan is named after Robert Griffith who, in 1901, owned 160 acres north of 36 Avenue and west of 200 Street; a stretch of 200 Street was once named for him.

City to pay off seniors’ centre mortgage ALYSSA O’DELL Times R ep or ter

C OU NCILLOR DAVE HA LL

Langley City council has approved the contribution of “significant funds” towards the retirement of the mortgage for the Langley Senior Resources Centre. The payments, which were approved during the Dec. 16 regular council meeting, include $74,000 from the City’s 2013 enterprise fund,

with the balance to be paid from the 2014 budget. This remaining $40,000 instalment cannot be paid out until the spring budget deliberations are finished, prompting one councillor to warn that a lack of quick action will cause an increased cost to the City. “It was my impression that it was our intention to deliver the 2014

funds in a timely manner,” said Councillor Dave Hall at council’s Jan. 11 meeting. “Every day or week or month that clicks by, it means that interest is still accruing on the remaining funds.” According to Councillor Gayle Martin, the mortgage retirement will end a more than decade-long relationship between Langley City and the Seniors Resources Society,

which saw yearly $40,000 contributions from the City towards the centre’s mortgage. Members of council also directed City staff to look into what the society’s needs will be once the mortgage has been eliminated. “More important to me is how are we going to carry on this relationship with the seniors’ centre,” said Martin.

H1N1 death count is likely higher â&#x20AC;&#x201D; officials FIVE DEATHS CONFIRMED BY LAB TESTS THUS FAR, SAY PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS J EF F N AGEL Bla ck Pre s s

Public health officials say more B.C. residents have likely died of H1N1 flu this month than the official count of five lab-confirmed deaths so far. Four of the confirmed H1N1 deaths were on Vancouver Island,

while the fifth was in the Interior and there are none officially listed in the Lower Mainland. According to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, there are 49 patients hospitalized in intensive care units with severe influenza, as of Jan. 17.

Sixteen of them are in the Fraser Health region and 10 are on Vancouver Island. But officials say the number of deaths understate the true scope of H1N1 flu fatalities because patients hospitalized with flu-like symptoms â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even those who die â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are

not generally lab tested for a final confirmation of influenza or type. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most deaths from influenza will probably not have influenza identified,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Reka Gustafson, a medical health officer with the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority.

As a result, she said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;not a meaningful exerciseâ&#x20AC;? to focus on the number of deaths or hospitalizations, as that can give a false impression that influenza is less severe. Based on national averages, the BCCDC estimates there are up to 520 influenza-related

hospital deaths in B.C. in a normal flu season each year. H1N1 makes up more than 80 per cent of flu cases in B.C. so far this year. Many pharmacies have run out of vaccine after a late scramble to get immunized. The province says nearly 1.4 million British Columbians have been vaccinated so far and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;unprecedented demandâ&#x20AC;? has led to temporary gaps in supply. More vaccine is on order and will be dis-

tributed across the province â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 5,000 more doses are expected to arrive this week, another 3,000 are expected next week and the province has requested a further 13,000 doses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting near the end of the influenza immunization campaign, so we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have vaccine in every location,â&#x20AC;? Gustafson said. She said flu season can continue through March, so late season vaccinations can still help ward off serious illness.

Local pharmacy has flu vaccine MONIQUE TA MMING A Time s Re po rte r

If you really want to have a flu shot, one local pharmacy says they still have plenty of stock. Surlang Pharmacy pharmacist Bob Sangha confirmed he has â&#x20AC;&#x153;a few weeksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worthâ&#x20AC;? of the vaccine available. Â Surlang Pharmacy recently expanded their flu vaccine service from every Friday to daily. Customers can drop by for their flu shot from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. any day. Walk-ins are welcome, no appointment is needed. Shots are administered by a licensed pharmacist. Most pharmacies, clinics and doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offices in Langley are reporting they do not have any flu shots available. The province ordered 1.4 million doses this season and have said those doses are all but used now. The province was expected to order another 20,000 doses to handle the demand. The last report indicated that the H1N1 virus has killed five people in B.C. this flu season. Surlang Pharmacy is located at 105-19475 Fraser Highway.

Suspect turns himself in LANGLEY’S HARPAL DHALIWAL ACCUSED OF SHOOTING MAN AT MAC’S CONVENIENCE STORE

K EV I N D I AK I W Bla ck Pre s s

Mounties are now in custody of the man they believe shot someone at a convenience store on Jan. 7. Harpal Dhaliwal arrived with his lawyer at a police detachment on Jan. 10. He is the suspect in one of Surrey’s latest shootings. On Tuesday, Jan. 7, at 11:30 p.m., two men walked into a Mac’s Convenience store at 152 Street and 100 Avenue and

went to the back of the store. That was when one of them drew a gun, and shot the other in the back, with the bullet also causing damage to his groin. Police believe Dhaliwal was the person who shot the victim. Mounties have not been able to ascertain whether the shooting was intentional or not.

The Langley resident is now wanted for criminal negligence causing bodily harm, carrying a concealed weapon, careless use of a firearm, unauthorized used of a firearm and possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm with ammunition. He has already made an initial court appearance.

The fees should not apply to the municipality for providing water to residents and public use, or to private residential well users, the Langley statement said. “Municipalities like the Township, who rely heavily on groundwater to supply local residents with drinking water supplies, would be at a disadvantage if required to pay fees for groundwater extraction, causing an increased burden for taxpayers,” Froese wrote in his letter to the minister. The proposed act does not say exactly how the fee system

of residents rely on the municipal water supply. Half of that comes from local groundwater, with the other half from the Greater Vancouver Water District. The other 20 per cent of residents rely on groundwater from at least 5,000 private wells.

Health Matters

By now, most of us have heard that it’s not a good idea to skip breakfast, but do you know why? Men who regularly skip breakfast have a 27 per cent higher chance of heart attack. Women who skip are 20 per cent more likely to develop diabetes. (And, on each of these points, the vice-versa is probably true too!) Lack of brekky can affect mood and memory – and can increase your waistline, blood pressure & risk of metabolic syndrome. So “get cracking!” It seems so many things we like are bad for us, but here’s a treat: chocolate! And it’s good for you! A little bit of chocolate every day may help keep your brain sharp and your waistline whittled. And, there is some evidence that it can reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in some high-risk patients. But be choosy – the darker, the better. Make your own hot chocolate from pure cocoa, minimizing the added sugar. Enjoy! Feeling nutty? That’s good, ’cause they’re good for you too – especially walnuts. Those who eat three or more servings per week are at a lower risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Plus, they tended to have a

smaller waistline, were less likely to smoke, more likely to exercise and ate a better diet, overall. And walnuts did all these things better than other nuts. One caveat? Remember BOB SANGHA portion control – nut servings Pharmacist, BSc are small! We’re supposed to eat more veggies and fruit, but sometimes it’s a struggle to get all those servings. Here are some tips… hide veggies in your main courses by adding chopped/shredded onions, mushrooms, peppers, zucchini and carrots to your pasta sauce, chili, casseroles, etc. Poach your veggies for five to seven minutes in broth or white wine (don’t overcook) or roast at 375o for 20-25 minutes. Try to have a salad every day and choose fruit for dessert. Health is influenced quite dramatically by choices we make every day in our lifestyle – diet and activity. But changes can be difficult to make. Talk to our pharmacists for advice on making small changes, one at a time, to achieve your optimal health.

One in 10 Langley Township blueberry farms has applied to register audible bird scare devices. There has been lots of concern about the use of propane cannons to scare birds away.

Small number of farms register bird scare devices DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter

So far, just one in 10 Langley blueberry farms have applied to register audible bird scare devices under new Township regulations that restrict the use of the controversial propane cannons. The municipal Agricultural Advisory Committee filed its annual report on Jan. 7 saying that 13 applications to register devices have been received since the new regulations took effect in June of last year. That is slightly more than 10 per cent of the estimated 125 blueberry farms operating in the Township. The Langley bylaw requires blueberry farmers to get a $125-a-year licence to register their bird scare devices with the

Township of Langley, as well as post a notice before they use one. Some blueberry farmers have balked at the registration fee and notice requirements, telling Langley Township the bylaw that aims to limit the use of propane cannons unfairly singled them out. That’s according to a provincial government briefing note released under freedom of information (FOI) regulations. “They [the farmers] have expressed concern that the registration requirement singles out their industry with an additional burden not carried by other agricultural industries under the Farm Practices Protection Act,” the note says. “They are also concerned with the precedent of being required

to post a sign at their driveway when using propane cannons.” The new Township bylaws restrict how often the cannons can be fired, allowing one firing every five minutes for a single cannon. They also require a 100-metre setback from horse trails. The bylaw sets escalating fines for violating the rules, $150 for a first offence, $350 for a second and $500 for a third and any subsequent offence. The regulations were drafted by the Propane Cannon Task Force, which was created by the municipal Agricultural Advisory Committee. Township began enforcement of the new rules in July, following their final approval on June 24 by Langley Township council by a 7-1 vote.

Police ask for help in finding thieves Langley RCMP is seeking the public’s assistance to locate an excavator that was stolen from the 100 block of 198 Street sometime over the weekend of Jan. 10. On Monday, Jan. 13, the owner returned to the construction site in South Langley, where he had left the excavator over the weekend, and found it was no longer there. The excavator is a Kubota KX91-03, orange in colour. If you know anything about this theft, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Opposition to Township development plans F ORMER A LD E RGROVE S E WA G E P L A N T S I T E SU BDIVIS IO N P LA N N ED

KU RT LAN G M A N N A l de rgro ve S t a r

An application to develop 19 acres of land into 61 residential lots in Aldergrove is facing some stiff opposition. The property is part of the former septic sewage treatment facility, and is owned by Langley Township. The sewage treatment plant was decommissioned in the late 1990s and the land has remained vacant and undeveloped for

many years. Portions of it at the southern side are forested and this is the cause for opposition to development among some neighbours. Two residents, Angela Wonitowy and Jessica Horst, have collected 300 names on a petition that calls for a down-sizing of the development. “The notice of this development was posted over the New Year and the public

hearing is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 20, so we haven’t had much time but we still collected 300 names, and more are coming in,” Wonitowy told Black Press on Friday. Wonitowy says the Township should develop the northern portion and leave the southern half, on the other side of Bertrand Creek, as it is. The northern half consists of scrub brush, but the other side has

a mature forest, two swamps, and Bertrand Creek winds through it. The application notes that access to the development would be via two new roads off 28 Avenue near 276 Street. A road network would serve the 41 lots on the north side, and a road and bridge would cross a tributary of Bertrand Creek to access the 20 lots on the south side. The proposed land

use notes that 40 per cent of the total property, 7.7 acres, will be left as “environmental-natural open space” to provide setbacks from the creeks and wetland areas, and a trail network would be built along Bertrand Creek and the perimeter of the property. Properties to the south are in the ALR and a buffer would also

be established there. Biologist Mike Pearson has been researching Bertrand Creek for many years and notes that a 25 to 30 metre setback would be required. “It is identified as critical habitat for the Salish sucker (fish variety),” said Pearson. “I trapped and released several hundred Salish sucker there this summer, along with

salmon, and there is beaver and deer there too.” Among the conditions subject to development is also provision of a “tree management plan” that would allow retention of some trees and replacement of other trees. The application was to go to public hearing last night (Monday) at Langley Township hall.

Be an intervenor

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.

Langley Township council should have no hesitation in registering as an intervenor in the National Energy Board hearings on the expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline. Some members of council may think this indicates that the Township is opposed to a new pipeline. Nothing could be further from the truth. Registering as an intervenor means that the Township will have a say in the project before it is built. The Township is crucial to the new pipeline. The new pipeline will divert from the existing route to a new one within Langley, and there is a strong possibility that the new pipeline could be built through the Township-owned Redwoods Golf Course. Langley Township council is elected to make decisions and show leadership on land use and community building. While the Township has no power over rezoning land for a pipeline, a new pipeline will have a tremendous effect on property owners whose properties it will cross. If there are any problems with oil spills, there will be even more effects — on streams and the underground aquifers that many rural residents (and the Township itself) depend on for water. Oil from Alberta will make its way to market somehow, and it seems likely that the Kinder Morgan-owned Trans Mountain line will be approved and built. It makes far more sense for the Township to take an active part in the discussion about this pipeline while it is under consideration than to react later, if there are any problems.

Question langeytimes.com

of the week

Should Langley Township take part in hearings on Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Value of education they

The cost of buying a house in Canada is one reason many young adults are focused on jobs that pay good wages. Today, it takes a significant wage for most to own a home if they are just starting out. Although prices have dropped recently in Kelowna, over the past 20 years the cost of buying a home has risen. In 1994, you could purchase — on average, and depending on the age of the house and location — a home for about $170,000. Today, that same house would probably sit at anywhere between $350,000 and $400,000. The problem is that wages have not kept up with inflation, especially in the housing market. To afford a $400,000 home you need about a $20,000 down payment. You can expect to pay at least $1,500 a month, if not more, for your monthly mortgage payment. To qualify to buy this home (taking in account a number of factors such as taxes and other costs associated with home ownership), you would need to earn a minimum of $105,000 annually. Right now the median pre-tax household income in Kelowna is around $50,000. For families with two adults and at least one child, this pre-tax income rises to around $82,000. Both are significantly less than the $105,000 required to buy a house in Kelowna. If salary is to be the driver, the best options for students interested in only the money are engineering, health care and trades. A recent report indicated that young men between 17 and 24 years of age who opted out of college and university and decided to work in the oil patch have seen a significant increase in their wages. These wages have led to decreases in enrolment by men in post-secondary education in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland. A plan to go straight from high school to employment is short-sighted. There are many certificate, diploma and degree programs in colleges and universities across Canada that can get you into well-paying jobs either working in the oil patch or working in an industry associated with it. With post-secondary credentials, chances are you will be one of the last to be laid off during any downturn and the one most likely to find employment elsewhere. If salary is driving your decision about what to take at college or university, it’s wise to invest energy in career planning that will help you secure long-term employment with a relatively good wage. — Kelowna Capital News

Alzheimer’s disease touches many people Editor: This is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, and on Sunday (Jan. 26), our community will gather at the Aldergrove Athletic Park to raise awareness and funds for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. This affliction is so widespread that most people know someone, whether related or acquainted, who suffers from Alzheimer’s or some other form of dementia. There are currently more than 70,000 British Columbians who have been diagnosed with this disease, and of this number, 10,000 are under 65 years. This is a growing concern for the actively aging. The shadow of dementia is cast across many more connected lives, therefore the 2014 Walk for Memories is dedicated to caregivers. These lives are also dramatically changed when a family member or close friend is diagnosed with any form of dementia. For every person suffering from declining mental faculties, there is at least one other person on whom increasing demands are placed. We are the honoured “poster faces” for this walk, representing those hundreds of caregivers who may or may not be aware of the many resources the Alzheimer Society offers through enrichment programs, advocacy and research. We currently volunteer with the Alzheimer Society to advocate for improved health care, education and support of dementia for our loved ones, now and in the future. Randy’s mother, Helen Bysouth, a longtime Langley resident and active commu-

nity volunteer, suffers from Lewy body dementia and currently resides at Zion Park Manor in Cloverdale. Our family has definitely benefited from the Alzheimer Society of B.C. programs. Over the past four years, our caregiver group sessions, hosted by area co-ordinator Rose Puszka, has increased knowledge, understanding and communication, enabling us to walk this emotional journey together with family and friends. Though each family’s needs are different, our commitment to those whose lives touch ours, and to our community, is to offer support for others who travel this same difficult journey. The Walk for Memories starts at 12 p.m. Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese will open the walk and the honourees will perform a ribbon-cutting ceremony. There will be family-oriented entertainment, refreshments and music. Dogs on leashes are welcome. Please invite all your readers to participate in this Walk for Memories, either by attending in person or by donation. Teams are encouraged (it’s fun to be part of a group) and all donations above $15 are issued tax receipts. The walk website is walkformemories. com. Supporters may register and/or donate by scrolling down to the Langley, Aldergrove and Abbotsford link. C o ntribu te d pho to

Randy Bysouth and Diana Frances are the “poster faces” for Sunday’s Alzheimer’s walk.

Brookswood is unique Editor: I attended the town meeting at the Fernridge Hall on Wednesday, and I am very disappointed. I saw a lot of parks and school trails, but if you didn’t pay attention you would miss that they are trying to sell high density, which will be the death of this truly unique area. There is not another area like Brookswood anywhere in the Lower Mainland. The plan reminds me of Willoughby, as stated in The Times editorial (Jan. 16). As you can see when you’re in Willoughby, all that remains in that area is parking problems, traffic problems and the destruction of the small town feel it used to have. If the Township does not keep lots at their present size, there will be no more Brookswood. It will be sold off to developers looking to make as much as they can. I’m sure our mayor Jack Froese would like to see high density, due to the increase in tax revenue. All of this is packaged to the people who live in this area as a diverse, multi-use community plan. The plans I saw at the hall had some good ideas and services that would benefit the area, but the cost for these services will be way too high. I shop at Buy-Low Foods, Cedarbrook Bakery and many other local businesses, not because they are cheaper but because I like to go

somewhere where, when you walk in the door, they know who you are and you are greeted in a way that is hard to find in other areas of Langley. I would like to say to my fellow Brookswood and South Langley residents — let’s do something about this. Write to the mayor and to The Times. We do have a voice and should be heard. I want to drive through this area in 20 years and still feel the same pride and love for this truly beautiful area.There is a sign in Brookswood that reads “Brookswood, not Brooks was.” This sign sums up the future of Brookswood. If we leave it in the hands of the Township and developers, who clear-cut and develop every area in the Lower Mainland, you know what will happen. It is OK to add some homes, but stay with good-sized lots. Add services as this is great for the area. Just because you put houses so close you can pass your neighbour some sugar, doesn’t mean you have designed a close, family-oriented community. Have a look at Willoughby and Clayton Heights. The writing is on the wall. AARON NELSON, BROOKSWOOD

Pipeline is through sensitive area Editor: I am opposed to the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline path. As a longtime resident, I feel fair representation is being compromised if the Township is not represented. The proposed

path is through a flood plain, with a sensitive ecological system. This should not be overlooked. ROBERT R. ADAM, WALNUT GROVE

RANDY BYSOUTH AND DIANA FRANCES, SURREY

Township needs to be part of NEB process Editor: I have sent the following letter to members of Langley Township council: I am requesting that Township council participate in the National Energy Board process to advocate for Township of Langley residents and taxpayers. The NEB is holding hearings on the proposed Kinder Morgan bitumen pipeline, which will run through the Salmon River and cross Yorkson Creek north of 98 Avenue. The Township needs to hear from more members of the community and community groups on this matter, and participate in the NEB process. Kinder Morgan has done an impressive public relations campaign, but as a resident with local environmental concerns, the Kinder Morgan PR campaign is overwhelming from my individual perspective. As one example, having time and capability to review a 15,000-page Kinder Morgan document and how this document will relate to my immediate surrounding community, is more than an undertaking. I tried. The Township should participate on our behalf, by hiring or appointing qualified staff to participate in the NEB process. I would strongly

recommend that the Township send Kinder Morgan the invoice for this cost, and not burden the taxpayers since Kinder Morgan are the ones that introduced this project, and not the people of Langley. This should be the first request to the NEB. This is perhaps one of the largest capital resource-based projects and undertakings to directly impact Langley in recent years, aside from the Highway 1 works and the Golden Ears Bridge, and the Township should be involved 100 per cent — from the onset to its completion. When I attended a Kinder Morgan conference back in early June, 2013, there were Township staff present at that meeting. There was considerable dialogue back and forth on several issues ranging from water quality, to road crossings, to safety along railway corridors, to creating bicycle paths and walking trails along the pipeline route, and more. Kinder Morgan gave the impression there would be consideration or concessions made in this regard, and it is up to the Township pursue these benefits for residents. NATAL CICUTO, LANGLEY

Bringing you warmth in Winter Look for us in your community on January 22nd!

Passing on knowledge classes, the students are offered reading, sewing, improv and choir and outside mentors play a large part in the success of these in- school programs. Phil is one of the many seniors who provide mentoring skills to the students at Douglas Park Community School. Along with Gordon Bens, Bob Purcell and Chris Celli they prepare a series of wood working projects for the students to work on over the eight week program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program started many years back when the Principal of the school at that time, Wendy Johnson, came to the Langley Senior Center and asked if anyone would be interested in helping to establish a wood working program at the school. I have always enjoyed wood working as a hobby and the classes were very basic so I took it on.â&#x20AC;?

In the beginning, the school included up to grade seven and the classes included working with power tools. â&#x20AC;&#x153; We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the power tools anymore,â&#x20AC;? explains Phil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The school now is Kindergarten to grade five so our kids are younger and it was determined that we should eliminate the power tools from our classroom. We do a lot of precutting and drilling now but the students still do the sanding, nailing, gluing and learn the basics of working with wood. One of our first tasks is teaching them how to set a nail and hammer it into a piece of wood. We all had someone to teach us how to do that at some time.â&#x20AC;?

They develop friendships with students, staff, and other volunteers; they feel useful and socially validated; they feel challenged; they experience increased self-esteem and personal growth; they feel a sense of pride in making a contribution to schools and education; and they feel as though their years of living are worth something. Young people don’t need more celebrities and media hype. They don’t need more contact with immature peers. They need contact with caring, involved adults – parents, grandparents, teachers, mentors – who can give them practical guidance and information about real life. To be an effective mentor, to make a real difference in a young person’s life, you don’t have to be a hero. You just have to be someone who cares and who is patient.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I recently heard a story about a young lady who now has her Masters and is headed to Australia. She met one of our former instructors she had at the school many years ago and talked about how much she learned. Douglas Park is the only elementary school in the province that offers a woodworking program and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d really like to see someone step up and offer to carry the program forward.â&#x20AC;?

Douglas Park Community School Principal Esther Schmit says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The seniors who participate in the Explorations and the Read to Me program are providing an invaluable service. Not only are they here sharing their knowledge and expertise and assisting the children in that respect but by being here and taking an active role in a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, they are telling that child that they matter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our busy world, children donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always hear that message loudly and frequently enough from their parents. The children look forward to the seniors coming in. A kindergarten child recently told me that he was looking forward to his â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;reading Grammaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coming in. This week, that same child read to his â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Grammaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the first time. Many of the volunteers have told me that coming in to the school and working with a child is the highlight of their week. It really is a win-win.â&#x20AC;? All the studies on effective mentoring develop the same basic conclusion. Mentoring is work of the heart. It offers personal rewards, but it is also about building community, inspiring hope, sharing success, enriching life. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need special skills to be an effective mentor. Patience, empathy, and a generous spirit are the greatest gifts a mentor can offer a child.

CHANGES TO VOLUNTEER AWARDS

Local charities will also benefit from Township honours D an Fe rgu s o n

Annual volunteer awards issued by the Township of Langley have been overhauled. The changes, according to a Township press release, will “fully recognize the exemplary work that Township of Langley volunteers do and give a financial boost to local charities and societies that make the community a better place.” Every April, the Eric Flowerdew Volunteer of the Year Award is presented to an individual, the Pete Swensson Outstanding Community Youth Award is given to a student, and the John and Muriel Arnason Award is a presented to a couple. The changes were proposed last year by the Langley Awards Task Force appointed by the Recreation, Culture, and Parks Advisory Committee. One of the biggest changes was to alter the scope of the Eric Flowerdew Volunteer Award by changing its

Kari Medos, Recreation, Culture, and Parks Awards Task Force Committee Member. The policy was also adjusted to make sure nominees are Township of Langley residents and that they have worked in an unpaid capacity. As well, starting this year, a $750 award will be given to a recognized charity or society chosen by the recipients of the Eric Flowerdew Volunteer Award and the John and Muriel Arnason Award. The John and Muriel Arnason Award recognizes a duo who volunteer together to foster partnerships and cooperative efforts and make The Township of Langley has made some changes to its Eric Flowerdew, Pete Langley a better place by advocating Swensson, and John and Muriel Arnason Awards, which are given to an outstanding individual, student, and duo in the community.

Rising star lands leading role LANGLEY’S SOPHIA LEE PLAYS JULIET IN THE ROYAL WINNIPEG BALLET’S ROMEO AND JULIET A young Langley ballerina will soon dance her way across the Vancouver stage in the role of a lifetime. Sophia Lee, a rising star with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet — who lived and trained in Langley (at the Cameron Academy of Classical Dance) — will dance the role of Juliet, as the famed Canadian dance company brings an enduring tale of love, longing and loss to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, with choreographer Rudi van Dantzig’s exquisite classical ballet Romeo and Juliet, running from Jan. 30 to Feb. 1. The grand romantic work sets Shakespeare’s beloved star-crossed romance to a gorgeous Prokofiev score and highlights the impeccable classical artistry of the RWB dancers. Recognized alongside Giselle, Swan Lake, and Sleeping Beauty as one of great classical ballets, Romeo + Juliet’s world-premiere was presented by the Kirov Ballet in 1938. Its timeless narrative stays faithful to Shakespeare’s version, beginning with a feuding clash between the Capulets and Montagues, progressing to the young lovers meeting at a grand ball, and the sealing of their fate in the unforgettable balcony scene. Their love becomes their undoing, as events and fate conspire toward a tragic, yet breathtakingly romantic end. Dantzig’s production will transport audiences to 16th century Verona with its opulent costumes and beautifully crafted set pieces, reminiscent of urbane Renaissance Italy. The visually spectacular production has become one of the crown jewels of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s repertoire and an audience favourite in the company’s hometown. In particular, the opportunity to dance the role of Juliet has become a rite of passage for female members of the company, having been previously performed by such luminaries as Evelyn Hart, Tara Birtwhistle, and Vanessa Lawson. In Vancouver, the role will be danced by rising star and first cast Amanda Green, who was made Principal last

year. Her Romeo will be performed by Liang Xing, guest artist from the National Ballet of China. However at the 2 p.m. performance on Feb. 1 the coveted role will be taken over by Lee, who quickly made the ascent from corps member to soloist this season and has been compared to a young Karen Kain. She will dance alongside her Romeo, Artjom Makasakov, who hails from Ukraine, studied ballet in Estonia and has previously danced with the Het National Ballet and Boston Ballet before joining the RWB this season. Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet presents ROMEO + JULIET Date: Jan. 30, 31 & Feb. 1 at 8 p.m.; Feb. 1 at 2 p.m. Ticket prices: $29 to $89 (plus service fees) Address: The Queen Elizabeth Theatre 600 Block Hamilton St. Vancouver, BC V6B 2P1 Box Office: Online at Ticketmaster.ca By Phone at 1-855-985ARTS (2787) Website: www.rwb.org Sophia Lee trained at Langley’s Cameron Academy of Classical Dance and now dances with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. She will play Juliet and the RWB’s Romeo and Juliet coming to Queen Elizabeth Theatre Jan. 30 to Feb. 1.

Where art and municipal government collide LANGLEY ARTIST SHEILA PATZKE LIVENS UP T HE THE WALLS OF TOWNSHIP HALL WITH HER PAINTINGS M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

Most people visit the Langley Township hall to pay their taxes or to attend a council meeting, look into permits or license their dog. But for whatever reason you go, you might, in passing glance, catch the glimpse of some original artwork adorning the walls of both the second and fourth floor. Those watercolour and acrylic paintings of bold, bright flowers, a woman in a red dress, bears, the rainforest and a plethora of others scenes and people all were created by Langley artist Sheila Patzke. Drawn to the beauty of many things, Patzke said

‘Sky is the limit’ for Kodiaks’ Ryan NOT KNOWN FOR HIS OFFE NCE, STEPHEN RYAN IS LIGHTING UP THE PACIFIC J UNIOR HOCKEY LEAGUE GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts

It is hard to argue with the numbers. Through the season’s first 37 games, Stephen Ryan is producing at a nearly two-points-per game clip as he leads the Pacific Junior Hockey League with 35 goals and 72 points. By comparison, the respective leaders in those two categories last season were Richmond Sockeyes’ Daniell Lange, who had 34 goals and Delta Ice Hawks’ Mak Barden, who had 72 points to lead all junior B players in the league. Ryan, a third-year forward with the Aldergrove Kodiaks, still has seven games to go in the regular season try and surpass those numbers in what he hopes will be his final season of junior B hockey. He is pace to finish with 41 goals and 85 points. No player has cracked the 80-point barrier since Richmond’s Bill Smith did so in the 2008/09 season, finishing with 94 points. And the last 40-goal scorer was Mission’s Eric Friesen, who had 47 goals in the 2006/07 season campaign. Both players also had a handful of extra games as the regular season was 48 games, instead of the current 44. Ryan posted modest numbers in his rookie and sophomore campaigns for the Kodiaks with 10 goals and 17 points that first year and then 19 goals and 51 points last season. Those numbers were hardly a surprise given that the winger has filled a penalty killing and checking role ever since he has played rep hockey as a kid going

through the ranks of the Langley Minor Hockey Association. “That has pretty much been my role until the end of last year when I started putting up numbers,” Ryan said. “Before that, I was always just a third-line type player. “Just more confidence in my game, I guess.” Ryan played in the PJHL all-star game last week (Jan. 13). Brad Rihela, who is in his first season behind the bench of the Kodiaks, is not surprised by the success. “I had heard he was a talented player and had some experience,” the coach said. “And right from our first practice, I was impressed with his work ethic and I think that is a big part of where his numbers come from. He combines his skill with a great work ethic in practice and in games.” “He is definitely a big part of what we have going on here,” Rihela added. “And if something needs to be said, he will step up and say it.” Ryan is quick to share the credit for his outstanding offensive numbers with his line-mates and the team in general. The Kodiaks, thanks to an epic 21-game point streak (18-0-1-2) — which was one game short of being exactly half a season — sit firmly in control for top spot in the PJHL’s Harold Brittain Conference with a record of 28-6-1-2 and 59 points. They have a 13-point lead over second-place Abbotsford with seven games to go. Aldergrove has scored the

most goals of the 10 teams in the league — averaging nearly five goals per game — and they are third in goals against. “Just how deep and skilled our team is overall,” Ryan shared about the team’s remarkable run. “And playing with those guys, they make it really easy out there,” he added about his linemates Kenny Prato and Adam Callegari. “Playing with those two guys really helps.” The trio — all Langley Minor Hockey Association products — have combined for 73 goals and 180 points. Callegari and Prato are third and fourth in league scoring with 56 and 52 points, respectively. Regardless of the role — whether he is scoring a goal or preventing one at the other end — Ryan is just focused on finishing up strong in what he hopes is his last season of junior B. The 19-year-old has one season of junior eligibility remaining. The 2012 Brookswood Secondary graduate is currently upgrading some courses and hopes to land permanently with a junior A squad next season and try and earn a post-secondary scholarship opportunity. Over the past four seasons, Ryan has played a combined 68 games in the B.C. Hockey League, scoring twice and adding 11 assists. He has suited up for one game with the Langley Rivermen earlier this season. “He has got two points a game,” Rihela said. “The sky is the limit.”

Vancouver Stealth’s Cliff Smith breaks in on Colorado Mammoth goaltender Dillon Ward during National Lacrosse League action on Friday at the Langley Events Centre. Smith tied the game late and Lewis Ratcliff scored the overtime winner in a 14-13 Stealth victory.

Stealth stop Mammoth in OT, but fall to Roughnecks G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Spo r t s

With the National Lacrosse League season nearing the quarter mark, Vancouver Stealth head coach Chris Hall is OK with a 2-2 start. “We are hurting a bit on the back end with the losses of (Kyle) Sorenson and (Jeff) Moleski, so if you look at 2-2 … it’s acceptable,” the coach said on Monday morning. “We have suffered a couple of injuries that are hurting us in the back end; we are still finding our way in terms of personnel.” Hall was referring to the loss of captain Kyle Sorenson — who was placed on the 21day injured reserve late last week — and then Jeff Moleski, who was lost at halftime of Saturday’s 15-12 defeat to the Calgary Roughnecks at Calgary’s Scotiabank Saddledome. The Stealth also played the night before, coming from behind to win 14-13 over the Colorado Mammoth at the Langley Events Centre. Cliff Smith forced overtime with less than a minute to play and Lewis Ratcliff buried the winner 2:18 into sudden-death overtime. “I would probably say we escaped on Friday night with a win in a hard-fought game,” Hall said. “We got behind the eightball early in the game and had to sort of scratch and claw all night long to keep ourselves in

the game.” “It was a long tough game that was both emotionally draining and physically draining on us,” Hall added. The Stealth travelled to Calgary on the Saturday morning and jumped out to a 2-0 lead three minutes in. The teams were tied at two after one quarter and Calgary led 5-4 at the half and 10-9 after three quarters. The Stealth did tie the game 31 seconds into the fourth quarter but the Roughnecks scored six of the final eight goals to win 15-12. A big difference in the game was the power play as Calgary scored on six of their nine chances while the Stealth netted just a pair on seven chances. “We kept fighting back, but every time we did, we ended up in the penalty box which was unfortunate,” Hall said. “(Dane) Dobbie kind of ran wild on us in the fourth quarter and he also drew a lot of penalties.” Dobbie scored three times in the fourth and finished with five goals and one assist. Hall said there were a couple of goals the team felt should not have counted. “We got a couple of goals (against) where we felt he was out the gate way too soon and we didn’t the call,” he said. “Those are the things that sometimes go your way and other times, they don’t.

“Those are the big breaks of the game and we didn’t get a break. But I thought we played well.” The Stealth were led by Rhys Duch’s three goals and two assists in the losing effort. In Friday’s victory, Duch also led the team with two goals and six assists. Ratcliff added a pair of goals and six helpers. On his overtime winner — which came shortly after Colorado had a goal waved off because of a crease violation — Ratcliff scooped up a loose ball, and with the shot clock winding down, whipped a shot off the far post and just in. The goal also required a review as it came out of the net very quickly. It was Vancouver’s first lead of the night and came after they trailed 3-0 five minutes in. “Ninety per cent of the games in this league are one-goal games so you know it’s going to be a tight one regardless if you are down three in the beginning,” Ratcliff said following the victory. “We just had to try and battle back and take the chances when you get them.” Ratcliff also surpassed the 900-point plateau in his 11-year NLL career in that game. The Stealth will look to return to the win column on Saturday (7 p.m.) as they host the 3-0 Edmonton Rush at the Langley Events Centre. The Stealth are 2-0 on their home floor.

Thunder thumps Extreme After opening round robin Cup play with a victory, the Langley FC Extreme are in must-win mode this weekend. The women’s Division 3 soccer team saw its round-robin record fall to 1-1 after a 5-0 loss at the hands of the Coquitlam Thunder on Sunday at Willoughby Community Park. The Cup featured the Lower Mainland’s 40 Division 3 teams playing three games apiece with the top eight moving on to the next round. The Extreme had opened with a resounding 13-1 victory over the Vancouver Reign last month. Langley travels to play at Mission United this Sunday in their final game. Coquitlam leads the group at 2-0 while Langley and Mission are both 1-1 and Vancouver is winless at 0-2.

It was a familiar story for the Trinity Western Spartans as for the seventh weekend in row, the men’s basketball team earned a split. And it was a dominant second half which helped the Spartans on Saturday as they outscored the UBC Okanagan Heat 52-30 after halftime to post the 9270 victory in Kelowna. The Heat had won 75-73 the night before. “It was a typical weekend for us,” said Spartans coach Scott Allen. “We had our backs against the wall and our guys responded with a big win.” The split leaves TWU with a 7-7 record and tied for third in the Pacific Division. The Spartans hit six three-pointers in the second half and shot 47.3 per cent from the field for the game. Denny McDonald had 22 points and hit 11 of his 13 shots. He also grabbed 11 rebounds. Justin Bakuteka added 20 points and Anthony Ottley and Kelvin Smith contributed 11 points apiece. Mark Perrin dished out six assists. McDonald scored 14 points and eight rebounds in the loss while Robert Rodriguez managed 13 points, seven rebounds and three assists despite battling foul troubles all game. The Spartans women’s team improved to 2-2 in the new year — and 3-11 on the season — after earning their own split against the Heat in Kelowna. UBC Okanagan won the opener 67-62 before the Spartans took the rematch 59-50. Head coach Cheryl Jean-Paul said her team was disappointed to have lost the night before. ‘We really focused on playing the full 40 minutes that we needed to in order to get a win,” she said. Janelle Traber led the team with 18 points while Kayla Gordon and Kristen Ford each chipped in dozen. Even more impressive was the fact the team won without leading scorer Holly Strom. Strom led the team with 16 points in the defeat. ••••• Both Spartan teams host the Thompson Rivers WolfPack on Friday and Saturday at the Langley Events Centre.
