Langley family offers $10,000 for the safe return of missing teen M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re por t e r
The family of Nicholas Hannon is desperate for answers and hope after there has been no sign of the missing Langley teen for one week. “He was happy, he has never been missing from home before,” his dad Craig said from his Walnut Grove residence, where Nicholas lived in the basement suite. Craig is offering a $10,000 reward “leading to the safe return of my son.” Langley RCMP have completed their search for Nicholas Hannon, who was last seen on the morning of Feb. 26 by his younger brother. The 19-year-old was reported missing on Thursday, Feb. 27 after police found his vehicle abandoned at the dead end of McKinnon Crescent in the 10400 block area. RCMP said the car had been there since at least 7:30 that morning. Craig believes someone had dumped the vehicle there. “I remember I got home around midnight (Feb. 26) and didn’t see Nic’s car parked there and I thought it was out of character. But he is 19, he can do what he wants,” said Craig on Monday. “Then the following day I got up and the car still wasn’t there and that wasn’t like him.” The family said Nicholas is best friends with his younger brother and he too had no indication there was anything wrong with Nicholas. He is a person who likes to stay home, his dad said. “We don’t have any inkling as to what has happened to him,” he said. His cellphone has not been used, said Craig. “Right now it’s a puzzle,” said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. Foul play can’t be ruled out but it isn’t something they are immediately looking to, she said. However, serious crimes has now taken over the case. The police are hoping to talk to anyone who spoke with the 19-year-old in the days prior to his disappearance, whom they haven’t spoken to already. A search and rescue team from Central

Nicholas Hannon, 19, has been missing from his Walnut Grove home since Feb. 26. A reward is being offered for any information that leads to his safe return. Fraser Valley Search and Rescue braved the snow and icy rain on Sunday, searching Derby Reach Park for any sign of him. The Hannon family, including his brother, sister and dad, put up posters all over the area with the words “My son is missing.” They also searched all day, going into the various forests and calling his name. The Hannon family has suffered tragedy before. Nicholas’ sister Heather is the widow of Alvin Wright who was shot and killed by a Langley police officer in August 2010. Heather and Alvin had a baby girl at the time of his death. Nicholas is described as Caucasian, 5’9”, slim build, with very short dark brown hair. He was wearing a hoodie at the time and sneakers. Police would like to speak to anyone who has information that would help in locating Nicholas. Call them at 604-532-3200.

DAN FER GUSON L an gley Tim es
Snow appeared for the second Sunday in a row on March 2, but it wasn’t as heavy in most parts of Langley as it had been the previous week, when crews were called out to trim trees which came down on utility lines.
Langley School District is expecting to hear from the Ministry of Education this month on whether there will be new funding for schools needed in Willoughby. The district submitted the plan which includes requests for a new high school, acquisition of property to build two more elementary schools in Willoughby, while also renovating perenially-full R.C. Garnett Elementary by putting on a second floor. The district will also be looking at expressions of interest from developers who would like to be involved in the relocation of Willoughby Elementary, according to the Joint School District Liaison committee report from Octo-
Residential pot ban approved DA N FERGU SO N Times Re po r te r
A planned ban on medical marijuana growing in residential neighbourhoods has been approved by Township council. But the fate of another proposed ban, on using Langley farmland for the same purpose, remains up in the air. The vote on the residential ban at the Feb. 24 evening meeting of council took less than a minute. It was unanimous. The regulation is aimed at the many small medical marijuana grow-ops that are currently licensed by the federal government to provide product. After March 31, all of the small-scale growing licenses issued by the federal government are set to expire under new medicinal marijuana regulations that take effect April 1. That’s when growing will switch from the current system of small operations with one or two clients to larger commercial-style bulk growing. The just-approved changes to the prop-
erty safety bylaw would impose a fine of at least $500 and as much as $10,000 a day on anyone who currently has a medical marijuana production licence if they continue cultivating pot plants after the law changes. The Township also wants to ban marijuana production on the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) that makes up 75 per cent of the Township, but has yet to get a response from the provincial government to the proposed regulation that would restrict growing to industrial areas. Langley, Abbotsford, Delta and Kelowna are required by law to get provincial approval for any regulations that might affect farming within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) inside their borders. On Feb. 18, Township Mayor Jack Froese and Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman met with provincial Agriculture Minister Pat Pimm in Victoria to press for a decision before the law changes. Froese said the provincial minister was noncommittal.
ber 2013. At last Tuesday’s board of education meeting, chair Wendy Johnson said they are still advocating hard for new ministry funding for the Willoughby area. “We met with MLA Rich Coleman and [Langley MLA] Mary Polak on Friday to advocate the needs in the Willoughby area,” said Johnson. Township Mayor Jack Froese and acting City mayor Ted Schaffer were also there to provide support of this need, she said. Residents on the Willoughby slope have been calling for a new high school to be built as growth continues in the area. The new middle school is set to open in September. Many believe it will be at or over capacity when it opens.
Site fees on way up
“They’re not commenting one way or the other,” Froese said. The Langley mayor said he and his Abbotsford counterpart told the minister that a decision needs to come before April 1. “There are people waiting for an answer,” Froese said. “I expect it will come soon.” The Agricultural Land Commission (ALC), the agency that administers the ALR, recently declared that medical marijuana growing on agricultural land is protected under farming regulations that override the the Township of Langley’s authority. At least eight businesses, seven of them located on agricultural land, have expressed interest in growing medicinal marijuana in Langley Township. One of them, Koch Greenhouses owner Bruce Bakker, said the attempt to restrict medicinal marijuana cultivation to industrial areas was “troubling” because it was drafted without consulting farmers.

If you are looking to buy a home in Langley, earlier rather than later will save you money. Last Thursday, the Ministry of Education approved Langley School District’s proposal to more than double the school site acquisition fees charged to developers for each home or condo built. Once implemented, the charges for single family homes will rise from $354 to $737, while fees for townhouses and condos would jump to $590 per unit, from the current $283. At Tuesday night’s board of education meeting, the new fees received unanimous third reading approval. The school district came up with the new figures last year, after it hired Urban Systems Limited to look into how much Langley charges the development community, and learned it has been charging significantly less than neighbouring municipalities.

Do you love Fort Langley? Most people get a special feeling when strolling down the streets of Fort Langley. Small town, quaint, nostalgic, unique and historic are words we hear a lot when people describe Fort Langley. Our community has worked hard to protect our downtown core’s historic atmosphere by creating and adhering to rules regarding development within our Heritage Conservation Area. We need your help to convince our elected Township Council it is important Fort Langley retains its historic culture and small scale village atmosphere by not changing the Fort Langley Community Plan and heritage conservation area rules for one development. This is spot zoning and a change In our community plan without a Township hosted open house to gather community input. It is up to our council to vote for or against a three storey, 46’ 10” tall, 41,858 square foot building and at the same time alter our community plan This development will be the largest in all of Fort Langley and overwhelm and dominate our streetscape and the change in the community plan will end the height limits currently in place. Please think about why you love Fort Langley and how allowing a building of this size will forever change what is so special about our small town. This is not about saying no to development or a fight against one building, this is about standing up and protecting what so many have worked so hard to preserve for our future generations. Please help us protect the rules which will develop Fort Langley in the scale and heritage theme it was intended to be and agreed upon by our community.
The Langley School District has estimated that it would have to hire 228 full-time teachers to meet the 2002 teacher contract requirements. Assuming an average annual compensation of $92,000 (including benefits) this amounts to $20.98 million for new hires. These details were given to the Ministry of Education upon its request last week. Of those 228 new teachers, 32.6 would be teacher-librarians and ELL teachers. Superintendent Suzanne Hoffman cites that the district may have some recruitment issues, particularly with respect to teacher-librarians. The district may have to add 17 portables, assuming that space can be located for portables. The alternative option includes moving students to other schools or turning other purpose rooms, like computer labs, into classroom space. The district says it would have “little choice” but to terminate current rental contracts with six preschools and daycares so it can reclaim those classrooms. returning to the 2002 contract, as ordered by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin, might also mean closing some Strong Start programs. To pay for the $23 million in new cost pressures, the district would have to cut programs and lay off non-teaching staff. “The class re-organization that would be required would impact all or most students at 24 of our 31 elementary schools,” said Hoffman in her signed affidavit. “The impact could consist of a new teacher, a new class, or a reconfiguration of an existing class.” In the two middle schools, all classrooms would be impacted. She wrote that she worried that mid-term classroom configuration would be stressful for students at any grade level. That is unlikely to happen though, as B.C. Court of Appeal has stayed requirements that the 2002 contract be implemented immediately, as the government has now appealed Griffin’s ruling.

But Langley City council has vehemently opposed the new fees, stating to the district that it unfairly targets condo developers in the City. No new schools are proposed and very few new students are coming into the district from the City. Plus, the cost of these new fees is just going to be passed onto the buyer, said council. The existing fees were implemented by School District 35 in 2001. The City of Langley has collected $451,014.07 on behalf of the district, as of May 29, 2013. The ministry wrote to the district last week, indicating it will not accept Langley City’s argument and will proceed with the new charges. The City has not forwarded a response to the ministry’s approval. “The Township is eager to get this moving because they are losing money every day and charges haven’t changed since 2001,” said board chair Wendy Johnson.

Nine-month-old is in fight of her life M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r
Langley’s Chloe Simon may only be nine months old, but already she is in the fight of her life. On Thursday, Chloe started her first of four rounds of chemotherapy at B.C. Children’s Hospital. On Feb. 3, she had an eight-hour surgery to remove a golf ball-sized tumor on her infant-sized liver. Doctors worked tirelessly and managed to remove all the tumor and save 25 per cent of her liver. “She’s such a trooper. She has been all smiles today,� said her mother Nykia Simon, who slipped out of the hospital room for a minute to speak with The Times on Thursday. In early January, when Nykia was giv-
ing her little baby a bath, she noticed a golf ball-sized bump on her side. “I asked my boyfriend Mike (father of Chloe) to come and look at it and we both knew it was something that needed looking at by a doctor,� she said. That was the start of a roller coaster ride nobody would want to take. They went from family doctor to pediatrician to an ultrasound for baby Chloe. “During the ultrasound, I saw a black mass on the screen and I knew it was something bad,� she said. From there Nykia met with an oncologist who said those horrible, terrifying words to her. “‘Chloe could have cancer,’ the doctor said. I called my boy-
friend — hysterical. She is just a baby,� Nykia said. The oncologist ordered a CT scan for the next day at Children’s Hospital. Her boyfriend Mike Dietrich and Nykia were given the devastating news that Chloe had Hipatoblastoma — a cancer of the liver. “She may have had from before she was
born, we don’t know. What we do know is that we have to be strong for her and for her big brother Cassius,� said Nykia. But it’s been so hard to see their baby sick. “Sometimes, I just want to take her in my arms and go home,� she said. After the surgery, there were complica-
tions, including infection, and Chloe needed plasma. The two have tried not to leave their daughter’s side since all this began. Dietrich, who works at Canada Bread in Langley, has been mainly off work for the past month, either by Chloe’s side or home with Nykia’s three-
year-old son Cassius. “Cassius is very smart and in touch with people’s feelings so it’s been difficult for him and that’s why we have been trying to keep him home to give him a break,� she said. While they try to just focus on Chloe, the bills still come in. The rounds of chemo will take up to four months
and it may require Chloe to stay in hospital or for them to get her there for treatment once a week. They don’t have a car to get to Vancouver. Rent still needs to be paid.There will be specialized supplements and alternative treatments that are not covered by insurance. Continued Page 6

Cat in labour sent in taxi, births two on the way KITTENS’ UNUSUAL ARRIVAL MARKS A FIRST FOR THE PATTI DALE ANIMAL SHELTER MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
At the Patti Dale animal shelter in Langley, staff are used to surprises, usually coming in the form of meowing kittens left in a box at the front door or in the parking lot. But last week, a mom and kittens arrived in the most unusual way. A cat in labour was sent to the shelter via taxi from the Langley City area. A woman phoned the shelter ahead of time saying she was sending the pregnant cat in a cab. “We get a lot of strange calls, so at first we didn’t really believe it,” said shelter manager Sean Baker. But just as the woman said, the cat, named Gumball, arrived. The only thing was, she had already delivered two kittens in the cab.
“The umbilical cord was still attached with both kittens,” Baker said. The new mother appeared terrified and desperate and hadn’t cleaned the babies. So staff had to do some work, including tying off the cord with some string found in the office.
To the staff’s surprise, a third kitten came later. Now mom and kittens (named Hubba Bubba, Juicy Fruit and Chiclet) are living with a volunteer foster mom and will be ready for adoption sometime in early May. “It certainly is the most unusual way we have had a cat surrendered before,” said Baker. This strange event was on Tuesday, one day after the day the shelter held its Cupcake Day fundraiser, and also the day of the big snowfall. “Despite the weather, people managed to raise more than $7,000 for the shelter,” he said. While the focus should have been on cupcakes that day, two other abandoned cats and their kittens were surrendered to the shelter. “We will have a lot of kittens up for adoption in May,” said Baker.

The figures compiled by Langley School District about the cost of implementing a court ruling by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin are staggering. The district figures it would cost an additional $23 million to restore class size and composition to the 2002 level, as per a contract between the provincial government and B.C. Teachers Federation which was arbitrarily suspended by the province at that time. The contract had been imposed, against their will, on school districts in 1999 by the NDP government headed by Premier Glen Clark. Since the 2002 decision to take the class size and composition limits out of the contract, the BCTF has fought vigorously to get them back. The union launched lawsuits, went on an illegal strike (and gained significant public support) and, thus far, has won two lawsuits in Justice Griffin’s courtroom. In the first case, she ordered the BCTF and government to bargain and address the class size and composition issues. She gave the government a year to implement her ruling. Bargaining did take place, albeit at a glacial pace, and there was no resolution within the year. The union went back to the judge, and she ordered the former contract reinstated. The government says that would cost at least $500 million annually. The province has now appealed that ruling to the B.C. Court of Appeal, which said last week that there is no immediate need to go back to the 2002 conditions, until the appeal is heard. While that gives school districts some breathing room, it is obvious this issue needs to be resolved once and for all. Parents and students deserve some certainty. The BCTF is flexing its muscles, and is taking a strike vote this week — and it will be very surprising if there is not some job action, either at the end of this school year or at the beginning of the next one. While the government has certainly provoked the union on a number of occasions, the union’s blithe ignorance of the province’s fiscal state is also grating. An additional $500 million per year comes from just one source — taxpayers. Teachers are already well-paid, and while their jobs certainly come with a great number of challenges, they aren’t the only ones. The B.C. economy is far from robust, and many people are struggling to get by. High housing prices, rising user fees paid to agencies like the Medical Services Plan, TransLink, ICBC, TrEO and BC Hydro and the challenges of finding good-paying jobs all combine to make it tough for many. Teachers deserve to be treated fairly and in a responsible way, and breaking contracts is no way to sort out disagreements. However, they also need to engage in meaningful bargaining with the provincial government, and not create even more uncertainty within the education system. If B.C.’s economy is to return to its robust state, it requires a well-educated population. Teachers are a critical and essential part of that solution. They deserve a fair contract, and they also need to remember who is paying their wages and benefits — taxpayers. More focus on students, by both the BCTF and the province, and less political rhetoric, is badly needed.

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
Four-year terms they
say
The case for: Three-year terms are funny beasts. You spend the first year learning the ropes and the players, the second trying to implement changes and the third putting things on hold because there is an election taking
place. Four-year terms would allow for much greater consistency, much more actual governing to take place. And isn’t good governance what we elect them for? The case against: Four years may make sense to those glass-half-full folks. The rest of us have a bigger concern: what happens if we elect a bunch of duds? How do we protect ourselves from the amount of damage they can wreak during a longer term in office? No four-year term should be acceptable without a mechanism in place that allows for recall. — Cowichan News Leader Pictorial

‘Death claims’ are a stretch Editor: As one of the coffee purveyors mentioned in the letter by Brenda Alberts (The Times, Feb. 25), I too find the Wendel’s claim that the Coulter Berry building will destroy tourism to Supreme Court Justice Joel Groves puzzling. While it’s nice for us in the coffee business to have visitors come to Fort Langley, we should not lose sight of the fact that the village is a place where people actually live and work. In that regard, the Coulter Berry proposal will fit in perfectly by including both places to live and work, as well as shops for residents and visitors alike. Claiming the death of Fort Langley as a tourist destination because of another building with a third floor seems a really big stretch. This is especially true when the building has the most appealing heritage design and attention to detail ever proposed for our village. In his ruling that the Township should have used the rezoning process to approve the
Coulter Berry building, the Supreme Court justice also adds to the intrigue of the case. In addition to Wendel’s, the justice refers to the other two individual petitioners on Mackie Street “whose properties are located in the Fort Langley Heritage Conservation area.” This is clearly an error as Mackie Street is well outside of the heritage conservation area. Affidavits from the Mackie Street property owners claimed they were worried their property values would go down if the Coulter Berry building was built. My goodness. Somebody better tell those folks snapping up the McBride Station townhomes at record prices. Don’t they realize they will be a mere stone’s throw from the alleged tourism killer of a building? There is plenty of material for coffee shop talk. HIRO TSUJIMOTO, REPUBLICA COFFEE ROASTERS, FORT LANGLEY
Letter connects the dots Editor: With reference to the letter “Connect the beans — plenty of coffee outlets in Fort Langley” (The Times, Feb. 25), it certainly connected the dots in the Wendel’s-related court action against Langley Township over the Coulter Berry building. The writer is correct that the claim connecting building mass to viability of the coffee business is suspect. The wonderful new coffee shop in the Township’s waterfront commercial space is already a big hit. The pending expansion of another “bean”
shop into the Coulter Berry building sounds exciting, too. But if I were selling lattes, I’d be more concerned about the number of competitors, than claiming the height of a building will reduce coffee demand. This claim is clearly about economics and not architecture. It begs the question, really, would a one-storey building with Starbucks be more welcome? DOUG MACLAREN, FORT LANGLEY
Langley Time s file illu s tratio n
These drawings show two views of the revised Coulter Berry building proposal. The project goes to public hearing at Langley Township council on March 10.
‘Gaping hole’ is a tragedy Editor: After reading Rob Koenig’s letter “Let’s fill the hole,” (The Times, Feb. 27), I began wondering if Koenig had not written his letter “tongue in cheek.” Was he pointing how preposterous the anti-Coulter Berry debate has become, with his suggestion that pro-heritage hole citizens of Fort Langley simply trespass and fill the hole, wheelbarrow by wheelbarrow, and see what springs from the dirt — a kind of magic bean experiment? It is all becoming quite silly, (two storeys instead of three, have the citizens of Langley Township own the underground parking, let’s fill the hole wheelbarrow by wheelbarrow) if it wasn’t so tragic for Fort Langley. There will be a gaping hole in the anchor location in the town for years to come, if the anti-Coulter Berry people have their way. GAYLE HALLGREN, FORT LANGLEY
Minister defends switch to four-year municipal terms Editor: Moving to four-year terms for local elections will enhance democracy in British Columbia — not diminish it, as your Feb. 27 editorial suggests. The decision to change from three-year to four-terms is rooted in democracy. The Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM), representing British Columbia’s democratically-elected local governments, supports four-year terms. The BC School Trustees Association, representing British Columbia’s democratically-elected school board trustees, supports four-year terms.
In 2010, the joint B.C.-UBCM Local Government Elections Task Force recommended changes to modernize local government elections, including adoption of a four-year term of office. The task force consulted local governments, local government election stakeholders and the public before making its recommendations. Four-year terms make sense in today’s complex world,
C O RA LEE O A K ES
where B.C. governments cope with economic, legal, environmental and social challenges. Four-year terms will give elected local officials more time to consult, plan and achieve community goals. Four-year terms will help manage election costs and save taxpayers money. Also, it’s interesting to note that all other Canadian provinces hold local government elections every four years.
British Columbians are fortunate to live in a strong democracy where citizens can participate in local elections freely and fairly. To keep our democracy strong, we need to keep the rules governing local elections up-to-date — and make changes supported by consultation and stakeholders. I’m confident that four-year terms of office will enhance democracy in British Columbia. CORALEE OAKES, MINISTER OF COMMUNITY, SPORT AND CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

Search Engine Optimization Died in 2013

earch Engine Optimization is dead. At least that’s what some experts were claiming
in 2013.
Sure the process of optimizing your website to do better on search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing has changed (for the better) but it’s by far from dead. On the 19th of February 2014, Matt Cutts (@mattcutts), Google’s head of search was asked this simple question. “Does Google have a test version of the search engine that totally excludes any backlink relevance?”
As a full service marketing agency you’re effectively hiring a web designer, marketing consultant, social media consultant, Pay-per-click consultant and graphic designer for less than hiring one part-time person to work at your establishment. Or as Tim Ball from the Great Canadian Oil Change puts it, “In the past we’ve worked with a range of consultants from design to internet marketing. Working
To which Matt replied “We have run experiments internally and the search results look much, much worse. It turns out that back links for the most part are really big win in terms of quality for search results. We have no intention of turning the (SEO) element off in the future.” The process of optimizing your website for search engines (SEO) is a very important part of your overall marketing plan. If you want to rank higher for terms your potential customer is searching for, then you’ll need to beat the competition in your sector. A recent study showed that out of four main online marketing channels, Social Media, Organic Search Traffic (SEO), Pay-per-Click and Online PR, organic search traffic had a 45% higher conversion rate. Not only does organic traffic offer better conversion of visitors, it’s free if set up correctly! In the last few years SEO has become harder, with more competition and over 75 Google algorithms a year weeding out poor quality websites. The days when you could simply buy 1,000’s of back links for $30 are over, this kind of SEO will get you banned from Google.

Tips to take the bias out of strategy decisions Personal bias often gets in the way of an objective evaluation of a situation, and can derail smart strategy decisions in both personal and business environments. Bias-free strategy decisions depend on having an established plan in place for evaluating processes and outcomes. Freek Vermeulen, Associate Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at the London Business School, and author of the book Business Exposed: The Naked Truth about What Really Goes on in the World of Business (2010), believes strategic decisions informed by personal bias limit the effectiveness of many strategic proposals. When Vermeulen’s friend had to make a decision about where to go for a surgical procedure, his friend visited several specialists in France and Germany before deciding on who should perform the procedure. To Vermeulen’s surprise, his friend chose to have the operation in his hometown hospital in Spain, where no specialist was staffed. The operation did not go according to plan, and his friend was forced to undergo a second operation. Vermeulen, who describes his friend as “a rational guy,” believes his friend allowed personal bias to interfere with what should have been a straightforward decision. According to Vermeulen, the beneÀts of his friend being near his family during the recovery process shouldn’t have outweighed the value of having a specialist perform the operation. “I have no doubt that, if he had been making this decision for me,” says Vermeulen, “he would immediately recommend me to go to one of the real specialists, wherever they were in the world.” Vermeulen believes emotional decision-making is common in personal and business
decision-making. He offers some tips to eliminate personal bias: Make decision rules beforehand. Have an established decision-making process before any decision needs to be made. Business decisions that may be emotionally difÀcult become strategically simple when there are rules in place. According to Vermeulen, Intel long ago made the difÀcult decision to abandon memory chips for microprocessors not because it was an easy decision to make, but because they had a process in place that clearly identiÀed doing so as the viable business decision. Tap into the wisdom of your crowd. Don’t leave critical decisions in the hands of just one individual or a limited, select group. Involve members throughout your organization in the decision-making process. Doing so can reduce and minimize bias in your business’s strategic decisions by allowing for a broader scope of perspectives. Take the revolving door approach. In this approach, you adopt an outside perspective when viewing your business problem. Research has shown that by viewing the issue from the perspective of, say, new management or a consulting Àrm, you can greatly improve the objectivity with which you view the problem. Vermeulen notes, for example, that “people are very bad at estimating the time it will take them to complete a project, but they are good at estimating it for someone else.” Applying any of these simple concepts to your business can minimize bias in your decisionmaking and is another step towards improving your business’s efÀciency.

Vandalized horse has tale to tell BOOK WILL USE SCULPTURE’S DESTRUCTION TO SPREAD ANTI-BULLYING MESSAGE
B REN D A AND E R SO N Ti me s Re po r t e r
What began last summer as a disturbing and senseless act of destruction is looking more and more like a tale with a happy ending. The beheading and dismemberment of a fibreglass horse sculpture last July outraged many in the community, when someone took a saw to the work of public art shortly after it was placed in a Brookswood park. The $10,000 sculpture — part of the Horsing Around Langley initiative — had been painted in swirls of silver, blue, black and green and dubbed “Tattoo.” But no sooner had Tattoo been fixed in place at the park at 200 Street and 40 Avenue than someone destroyed the fiberglass sculpture, cutting it off at the hooves and removing its head. The artist, South Surrey’s Marilyn Dyer, said at the time that her disappointment was for the community at large, and not for herself, because she had taken great joy in the creative process, but park users — children in particular — had been cheated out of their enjoyment of the public artwork. After being told about the damage, Dyer, 81, and her grandchildren visited the park and searched the area for anything that had been missed when the larger pieces were collected and taken to a fibreglass specialist at an autobody shop. “We put it all back together,” said Dyer. With its legs bound and head reattached, the life-sized sculpture is back in its place in the park — albeit a little worse for wear. “It’s got its scars and bumps,” said the artist. “But that’s Tattoo’s journey. That’s his chapter in life — like all of us. “It’s a really wonderful thing to be part of.” Now the sculpture’s story is the subject of a children’s book. Titled Tattoo, the Painted Horse, the volume, aimed at children aged five to 11, is expected to be released during Brookswood Days in June. It was written by a Summerland author named Ruthie Charles, and looks at the incident from the sculpture’s viewpoint, ex-

South Surrey artist Marilyn Dyer works on an illustration for a children’s book titled, Tattoo, the Painted Horse. Written by Summerland author, Ruthie Charles, the book tells the story of how a fibreglass horse sculpture designed by Dyer was vandalized shortly after it was installed in a Brookswood Park. The sculpture has since been repaired and is once again on display, still bearing the scars of its ordeal. plained Dyer. “It tells his story — he is resurrected at the end.” Charles was in Langley visiting family when she heard about the act of vandalism, explained Dyer. The story touched her and she decided it needed to be committed to print. Dyer, meanwhile, is working on the drawings that will accompany the text. Among the vibrant images, which are drawn in coloured pencil, is one that depicts the sculp-

LCMS faculty Marcel Bergmann, piano, and Reilley West, viola, are joined by cellist and former LCMS faculty member Ben Goheen and LCMS alumnus Paul Hung, flute, to perform works by Beethoven, Villa Lobos, Bergmann and Brahms. The concert will also premiere a work by Marcel Bergmann titled “Intango” for flute, cello, and piano. “This unique program is a potpourri of music and I am especially pleased that Marcel Berg-
mann’s new work Intango will be premiered at this concert,” said Elizabeth Bergmann. When asked to share thoughts on his new piece, Bergmann said, “Intango has a rather free formal scheme and explores various possibilities of musical communication and interaction between the three instruments: leading/initiating, dialogue, synchronicity … as well as duo and solo-sections. “Stylistically, I employed various aspects and elements of the Tango and Spanish idiom, intertwined with minimalist and post-romantic influences. “As in some of my other piec-
es, the principal idea — tango, in this case — sneaks in somewhat gradually at first and becomes fully apparent only during the second half of the piece,” said Bergmann. “At the very end of the last section, the slow fading and reduction of textures points back to the scarce, minimalist beginning.” Coffee and commentary are hosted before the concert with the school’s artistic director of concerts, Elizabeth Bergmann, at 3 p.m., followed by the performance at 4 p.m. LCMS’s Rose Gellert Hall is located at 4899 207 St.

Hardware III exhibit opens tomorrow in Fort Langley Four years ago, 18 contemporary artists, each with their own personality and artistic style, put on a show of extraordinary creativity at the Fort Gallery. It began with a challenge. Each artist was tasked with making a piece of art with $40 or less worth of merchandise purchased at a hardware store. Proof of purchase was posted beside the completed work of art. The assignment took each artist out of their comfort zone and the creations that resulted were amazing. “It was this show that gave me the idea to join the group. I wanted to be part of that creative energy,” said artist Kristin Krimmel. “We need to step outside of our norm to move forward and discover new ways of thinking.” Two years later, the Fort Gallery revisited the challenge, and the process was so much fun and the results were so extraordinary that they have decided to do it again. It’s becoming a tradition as the gallery artists prepare for Hardware III. The players have changed. Some artists have moved on, and new members have come to make up their number.

The public is invited to join the artists at the opening reception on Friday, March 7, from 7 to 9 p.m. The Fort Gallery is open each Wednesday to Sunday, from noon to 5 p.m. at 9048 Glover Rd. in Fort Langley.
New 232nd Street Overpass to Open to Traffic Beginning in early March, drivers will be able to use the new 232nd Street Overpass in Langley. Drivers are advised to follow directional signs to guide them through the new traffic pattern change. The new overpass replaces the current street-level crossing at the Canadian Pacific Rail tracks, eliminating rail-related delays for the travelling public, and improving rail efficiency and safety for everyone. Construction work will continue until the end of April 2014. Drivers should continue to be mindful of construction crews working in the area and obey posted signs. About the Project The 232nd Overpass Project is part of the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor Program, a comprehensive package of road and rail improvements to enhance quality of life in communities through which rail traffic travels to and from Port Metro Vancouver terminals. The project is funded by 12 partners representing local, regional, provincial and federal governments, and private industry. For more information on the project, visit www.robertsbankrailcorridor.ca For general inquiries, contact: Denis Labelle Project Superintendent

For more information please visit your neighbourhood catchment school.
Amended Calendar Consultation In last spring’s calendar consultation process the District approved a three year calendar. What has now come to the District’s attention is that the 2015-2016 calendar Spring Break is out of line with other Metro Districts. An important piece of feedback received through the comprehensive calendar consultation was that parents and staff wanted alignment with other districts. As a result, the proposed amendment to the 2015-2016 calendar would bring alignment by changing the date of Spring Break from March 21-April 1, 2016 to March 14-28, 2016. To view the currently approved 2015-2016 calendar and the proposed amended 20152016 calendar please visit sd35.bc.ca/district/ communications/. In order to change an approved calendar the District is required by legislation to undertake a consultation process for 30 days. This process will begin on Wednesday, February 26 and continue until March 27. To participate in the consultation process District families may complete an online survey at sd35.bc.ca/ district/communications or send an email to feedback@sd35.bc.ca.

It’s Shakespeare, and all that jazz on stage at TWU Fast-talking dames, smoothtalking gangsters, slapstick, sass and a battle of the sexes. Is it Shakespeare or screwball comedy? Trinity Western University’s production of Much Ado About Nothing is both. TWU’s Angela Konrad directs a stylish, imaginative adaptation that brings back the magic of old Hollywood. While a distinguished design team turns up the vintage glamour, the show swings to an underscore of 1930s jazz in the style of Cole Porter. And it’s packed with singing and dancing, thanks to TWU alumni Kaylee Harwood — who graduated in 2009 and has taken on the role of choreographer —and composer Julie Casselman, who graduated last year. One of Shakespeare’s most beloved couples, Beatrice and Benedick know how to crank up the chemistry with their witty wordplay. They’re perfect for each other, and everyone knows it—everyone except them. While they try to prove they hate each other, their friends cook up a deliciously elaborate deception to make them fall in love. All is fair — and funny — in love and matchmaking. “The audience will have a blast watching these characters fall in love, hate each other, want to kill each other, and still run into each other’s arms,” said Cody Friesen, the fourthyear BFA acting student and Abbotsford resident who plays Benedick. In his turn as a romantic lead, Friesen runs the gamut from debonair dancing to goofy physical comedy.

TWU’s Much Ado About Nothing features song, dance and romance. From left: “Doo-wop girls” Rachel Lynne Bell, Charlotte Elgersma, Audrey Herold. “Love can surprise you, make you sentimental, or drive you mad with jealousy, whether you’re in Shakespeare’s time, or 2014.” Amid all the song, dance, and romance, Shakespeare’s likable (and dislikable) characters mix high society with slapstick buffoonery. “It’s a comedy, so there’s a lot going on and plenty of room for surprise,” Friesen said. “And for those who don’t see a lot of Shakespeare, the music and visual antics keep it fun, fast, and easy to follow.” There’s much ado in this flirty Shakespearean comedy, and when all is said and done the boy just might get the girl…if she doesn’t get him first. Much Ado About Nothing features an impressive cast of actors, including Brandon Bate, Rachel Lynne Bell, Tiffany Choi,

Up by seven points in the fourth quarter, the Walnut Grove Gators went dry and lost 4943 in the semifinals to Panorama Ridge at the junior boys basketball provincial championships. It didn’t help that the Gators were without their top player of the tournament, Daniel Stead. “You hate to say this, but a couple of questionable calls from the referee took (him) out,” said Walnut Grove coach Jon Fast. “We were playing not to lose instead of playing to win and we just couldn’t score down the stretch.” The tournament finished on Saturday at the Langley Events Centre with West Vancouver beating Panorama Ridge 53-50 for the gold medal. Fast said the team failed to score over the final five minutes as Panorama Ridge beat the Gators for the second time in less than two weeks, having also beaten them by three points in the Fraser Valleys the weekend before. In the bronze medal game, Fast altered his game plan and got as many players in as he could, but Walnut Grove lost 58-50 to the Tamawanis Wildcats. He used more players than he had in the past

Walnut Grove Gators’ Daniel Stead goes up for the shot during his team’s opening round victory over Duchess Park at the B.C. junior boys basketball provincial championships at the Langley Events Centre last week. with this being the season’s final game. The Gators, who were seeded third at the 20team tournament, had opened with a 62-39 win over Duchess Park and then beat Fleetwood Park 54-46 in the quarter-finals. Two Walnut Grove players did earn accolades for their play as Stead was named a first team all-star while Joel
Harrison picked up the defensive player of the tournament award. “He has the ability to disturb the ball handler and found a way to come up with steals at the right time for us,” said Fast about Harrison, a Grade 9 guard. “He had a chance to step up and play and really proved himself.” As for Stead, Fast said the Grade 10 forward
has shown glimpses all season of his potential. “He has had the potential all year, it has just been a lack of aggression,” Fast said, adding that Stead’s play has really picked up over the stretch drive of the season. “He has shown he is ready to play up to his potential and that is definitely something to build on.”

The Langley Rivermen made history, capturing the B.C. Hockey League’s Ron Boileau Memorial Trophy as the regular season champions. It marks the first time in the 32-year history of junior A hockey in Langley — spanning the Lords of the 1970s, the Eagles of the 1980s, the Thunder of the 1990s, the Hornets of the late 90s and early 2000s, and then the Chiefs from 2006 to 2011 and finally the Rivermen the past three years — that a Langley team has won the trophy. “It is a heck of an honour,” said Bobby Henderson, the team’s head coach and general manager. “It is not our main goal, but it was one of our goals. “To put yourself in that position after 58 games says a lot about your character.” “It is something that the guys can carry with them for the rest of their hockey careers and the rest of their lives.” The Rivermen clinched the honour on Friday night with a 2-1 victory over the Prince George Spruce Kings at the Prince George Coliseum. Langley also beat the Spruce Kings 5-3 the night before to sweep the twogame road trip and finish the regular season with a record of 37-13-3-5 and 82 points. It was 12 more than second-place Prince George for the Mainland Division title and two more than the Island-Division winning Victoria Grizzlies, who finished second overall in the BCHL. But while the division title and regular season are both nice achievements, the next step in the ultimate goal — a national championship — begins as the Rivermen begin the BCHL playoffs and the road to the Fred Page Cup. Langley will face the fourth-place Surrey Eagles in the best-of-seven series with games one and two at the Langley Events Centre tonight (Tuesday) and tomorrow (March 5). Games three and four are at the South Surrey Arena on Friday and Saturday. “I think we match up well,” Henderson said. “(But) I think we match up well against anybody.”
During the regular season, the two local rivals squared off eight times with the Rivermen winning six. The two losses both came in overtime, one in the team’s first head-to-head game and then in their last meeting. Langley out-scored Surrey 32-19 in the eight games, with 10 of the Eagles’ goals coming in their two victories. Despite the lack of success, Surrey coach Peter Schaefer is OK with drawing the Rivermen in round one. “They’re a very good team, but we are very comfortable with that matchup,” he told Black Press a few weeks ago before it was determined the two teams would face off. The Eagles finished with 53 points, 29 behind Langley. And while Surrey had the slightly better offence — 3.47 goals per game compared to Langley’s 3.45 — the big difference is in goals against. Langley was second stingiest in the league with 2.67 goals against per game while Surrey allowed an even four goals per game, which is last among the 12 playoffs teams and 14th out of the 16 BCHL teams. And Henderson said his team’s success starts from their goaltending and play in their own zone. “If we have good structure defensively, then we will have success,” he said. “If we get loose and sloppy, Surrey is an opportunistic team that can get goals and will capitalize. “It is just a matter of eliminating our mistakes.” The Rivermen had six players pass the 40-point plateau, led by captain Mitch McLain’s 60 points in 57 games. They also had nine players get at least 10 goals and Matt Ustaski had a team-leading 29. Brock Crossthwaite carried the bulk of the load in goal, finishing with a record of 24-9-1 with three shutouts (tied for second), a 2.42 GAA (fourth in the league) and a .913 save percentage (eighth). Surrey was led offensively by Danton Heinen. The Langley Minor Hockey Association product led all rookies in scoring with 29 goals and 62 points to finish 10th in league scoring. Heinen, an 18-year-old from Langley, also committed to Denver University last week.

Kodiaks aiming SPRING BREAK2014 to ground Pilots Spring Break Camp! ALDERGROVE WON FOUR OF SIX REGULAR SEASON MATC HU PS
GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts
In the end, the depth of the Aldergrove Kodiaks was too much for the over-matched Mission City Outlaws. “We had a couple of lapses there and they put pressure on us, but for the most part, we dominated,” said Kodiaks coach Brad Rihela. “Mission had their chances and battled hard, but Jordan Liem was great for us in goal.” The junior B Kodiaks completed their first round sweep in the PJHL’s best-of-seven series on Wednesday (Feb. 26) at the Aldergrove Arena with a 6-2 victory in game four. The Kodiaks also won by scores of 5-2, 5-1 and 6-3. In the final game, the Outlaws led 1-0 after one period — it was the first time Aldergrove trailed the entire series — but three goals in the second and then three more to open the third put the game out of reach. The Kodiaks scored four times on the power play. Aldergrove, which won the Harold Brittain Conference with 72 points, used their superior depth to fashion the sweep. Stephen Ryan, the leading scorer in the PJHL during the regular season with 41 goals and 88 points in 44 games, didn’t score until game four when he popped in a pair. “Everybody was solid and our depth came through,” Rihela said. Out of the 18 players who suited up in any of the four games, 17 had at least one point and 10 had goals.

Quinncy Leroux led the team in total goals during the series with four while Elvis Jansons finished with eight assists and Spencer McHaffie had three goals and three assists. The Kodiaks next battle the Abbotsford Pilots in round two with a berth in the league finals on the line. The Pilots finished second, 13 points behind Aldergrove, and won their first round series in five games over the Ridge Meadows Flames. “It is going to be a tough test for us, two really good hockey clubs,” Rihela said. “We have been looking forward to this all year. We are excited and we are ready.” The teams played six times during the regular season, but after the Pilots won the first two, Aldergrove won the final four. One of the victories was in overtime. And while Abbotsford would love nothing more than to knock off their division rivals, the Pilots are guaranteed a spot at the provincial championships as the host team in April. “They have a lot of talent over there and it’s a healthy rivalry,” Rihala said. “The key is going to be to execute.” ••••• The second round series with Abbotsford gets underway with games one and two at the Aldergrove Arena on March 4 and 5. The series shifts to Abbotsford’s MSA Arena for games three and four on March 7 and 8.

One step at a time for Kodiaks GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s
All season long, the Credo Christian Kodiaks have not gotten too far ahead of themselves. “Our goal has always been to get to provincials,” said Kayla VanderHorst, the coach of the Kodiaks senior girls basketball team. “But I am also a firm believer in taking things one step at a time. “So our first goal was to gel as a team, then get to the top two in the Fraser Valleys, and eventually to get to provincials.” And the Kodiaks have done that. The team placed second at the Fraser Valley championships, and then won a one-game wild-card qualifier last week (Feb. 24), downing Richmond Christian 54-45 to advance to the B.C. Single-A provincial championships in Lumby. The tournament runs March 5 to 8.
“Clinching that spot in provincials has been so amazing,” VanderHorst said. “There was quite a bit of screaming and cheering after our wild-card win.” At the Fraser Valley championships — which were held Feb. 20 to 22 at Chilliwack’s Unity Christian School — the Kodiaks fell 64-51 to the host team. Credo had edged their local rivals, the Langley Christian Lightning, 4644 in the semifinals. The Lightning rebounded from that loss to defeat Agassiz 58-41 in the third-place game. It also earned Langley Christian a wild-card qualifier game of its own and they took care of business, defeating Osoyoos 53-43 on Feb. 25. Sarah Kunst, who earned a Fraser Valley all-star award, led the Lightning with 18 points and eight steals. Credo Christian’s
Sarah Eenkhoorn also received all-star accolades. The Kodiaks also qualified for provincials last year, but an opening round loss relegated them to the bottom half of the tournament and they wound up placing 11th. “Now we are setting a new goal of a first round victory to get us in the top half of the tournament,” VanderHorst said. “We’re hoping to improve on that rank (11th) this year.” VanderHorst and her sister-in-law Ardis VanderHorst have coached this core group of players for three years, and this is their first time at the senior level. “We had a bit of a rocky start to the season, but once it picked up, things went great,” VanderHorst said. “We went into Fraser Valleys really strong and (we will) look to continue that upward trend in
the provincials. “One of the biggest strengths of this team is that we don’t have one player that’s a superstar, but a team of girls (who) all work really hard and work together well. “We have quite a tall team, but we’re also quick, which is a huge advantage,” she added.
