Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese, left, and Minister of Natural Gas Development and Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman lead a procession of local dignitaries and tractors from surrounding farms across the newly re-opened 248 Street Highway 1 overpass Saturday (March 22).
After an eight-month interval, farmers, residents and tourists can cross Highway 1 on a 248 Street overpass again. The former overpass, built when the highway was constructed in the early 1960s, was torn down as part of the widening of Highway 1 to three lanes from 232 to 264 Streets. While the widening project has been complete since October, final touches on a new overpass were just completed in recent weeks. An official opening ceremony took place Saturday morning, with Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman, Langley MLA
Mary Polak and Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese all taking part. One of the happiest people at the event was farmer Alf Krause, who has fields on both sides of the freeway. Instead of detouring with his tractors to 264 Street and along the edge of the Gloucester industrial area, he now has a short hop across the new widened overpass. He was the first to cross it after the ceremony with his Kubota tractor. He told The Times that the construction and closure of 248 Street as a through street affected his business, which is one of Langley’s agri-tourism draws, and includes a new winery. Continued Page 4

The victim contacted Langley RCMP in 2011 to report the abuse. Ralph taught him in Grade 5 at James Kennedy Elementary School. However, the sexual interference didn’t occur until she was no longer his teacher.

Ralph had opted for a jury trial before pleading guilty to sexual assault last month. Crown counsel David Simpkin had asked for three years in jail and the defense wanted an 18- to 24-month conditional sentence. Outside the courtroom, Simpkin said he is pleased with the judge’s decision.

Hazardous goods report to be kept secret NON-DISCLOSURE REQUIRED FOR EMERGENCY OFF ICIAL S T O SEE L IST D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
Some time in April, the Township of Langley fire department will get its first report about the different types of hazardous goods that railway companies are moving through the community. But the information may not be up-todate and the fire department will not be allowed to make the specifics public. “There is some concern about security,” fire chief Stephen Gamble told the March 3 meeting of Township council. A written report presented by Gamble spells out the limitations of the safety directive issued by Transport Canada after the July 2013 Lac-Mégantic derailment that killed more than 40 people when an unattended freight train full of crude oil rolled down a hill, crashed and exploded. The directive requires rail companies in Canada to “ … provide the designated Emergency Planning Official of each municipality through which dangerous goods are transported by railway vehicles with: yearly aggregate information on the nature and volume of dangerous goods … and any significant change to the information provided … as soon as practicable after the change occurs …” However, the information will only be released to emergency planners who sign a non-disclosure statement that promises the information will be kept confidential “and used only for the purpose of emergency planning or response.” Signing the statement gives access to an annual report “on the nature and aggregate volume of dangerous goods shipped through the municipality,” states an online information bulletin issued by Transport Canada and the Railway Association of Canada. The report is supposed to include a breakdown of the amounts shipped every three months “to allow local first responders to identify trends and seasonal variations” the bulletin goes on to say. Participating municipalities also have the right to contact railways operating in their community and request “preliminary information,” the bulletin adds. The first annual reports to Canadian municipalities will be issued in April. “It will be interesting to see what we get,” Gamble told council. “We’re optimistic it will have some value for us.” There are currently four rail companies operating in Langley; CNR, CPR, Southern Railway of BC and the BCR Port Subdivision.

The report notes that there have been “numerous small incidents and two moderate incidents” involving derailments in the community. The “moderate incidents” were a 1996 derailment in Glen Valley and a more recent crash on Glover Road. On Dec. 23, 2002, a truck travelling south on Glover Road turned right (west) onto Smith Crescent, and was struck by a westbound CN container train. Two of the train’s three engines derailed, and several of the container cars were scattered on the track and Glover Road. No one was hurt, but the crash snarled pre-Christmas traffic, and closed Glover Road for more than 24 hours. The derailment also caused power outages in the area, as power transmission lines along the track were knocked over by the impact. It took work crews three days to clear the track.

There have been considerable changes to the Criminal Code and how crimes against children are treated. Since 2005, a minimum jail sentence must occur. But Selwyn applied the law to when the crimes occurred, which was between 1998 and 2001. He also noted that Ralph isn’t a danger to the community. “She has no criminal record and there is no evidence whatsoever that she has engaged in any similar activity in the 14 years since the commission of
this offence,” said Selwyn on Thursday. “She received a favourable psychiatric assessment . . . she is at a very different point in her life after a great deal of introspection and emotional growth.” He also noted that the sexual contact didn’t include intercourse or violence. Selwyn also placed a lot of weight on Ralph’s chronic pain that she suffers from a 2008 car accident. “An accused’s infirmity is always a factor to be considered and may warrant a reduction in sentence.”

Customers from outside Langley have told him they were following their GPS devices to his farm, and then came upon the “road closed” signs. Coleman said the widened freeway ensures that traffic crossing the new Port Mann Bridge does not come upon a bottleneck as slow traffic climbs the hill east of 232 Street. Polak noted that the overpass closure was timed around the summer crop season, and said the new overpass is actually opening ahead of
schedule. The old one was closed last Aug. 15. Froese said the new overpass will be welcomed by residents in the area, who have had to endure lengthy detours by either the 232 or 264 Street overpasses to get from one side of the freeway to the other. The overpass opened to traffic following the ceremony, and the taking down of barriers by Jake’s Construction, the contractor for the overall project. The new overpass and highway widening project cost $24 million.

He also noted that Ralph has significant caregiving responsibilities for her elderly parents and for her grandchildren. “If sentenced to incarceration, she will be unable to fulfill these responsibilities,” he said. At the sentencing hearing, the victim read his impact statement saying Ralph stole his childhood, his innocence and caused him irreparable harm, causing him to start drinking and using drugs as early as 12-years-old. He also considered suicide on several occasions and suffers from depression.

Measles possible at Kwantlen campus MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r
On March 20, Fraser Health informed Kwantlen Polytechnic University that a student attending classes at the Langley campus has a possible case of measles. Students, faculty and staff who attended the Langley campus on March 17, 18 or 19 may have been exposed to measles. All KPU campuses and facilities will remain open. The university wrote on its website that the administration and Fra-
ser Health are taking this seriously. Since the measles outbreak was declared on March 8, in low immunized areas of the eastern Fraser Valley, Fraser Health has been working diligently with schools, community groups, church groups and medical officials in the region to investigate the outbreak and institute control measures, including setting up dedicated immunization clinics and urging people to get vaccinated. “We currently have 228 confirmed cases
of measles in the Fraser East region, and largely these cases are contained within the original community where the outbreak began,” said Dr. Paul Van Buynder. If you develop a fever, cough and rash, or other symptoms that may be measles, you should stay at home and keep away from others who may not be immune. Contact your physician, who will advise you as to whether you should seek care in-person, or phone HealthLinkBC by dialing 8-1-1.
15-year-old faces charges in stabbing A 15-year-old Langley boy was arrested and charged for a stabbing that took place in an Aldergrove church parking lot on Tuesday, March 18. The teen, who is well known to police, was charged with assault with a weapon and aggravated assault for stabbing a 19-year-old in the back. The stabbing
came after the 15-year-old is accused of breaking the victim’s car window with a crowbar. At the time, there were four friends inside the victim’s car. The victim got out of his vehicle and a confrontation resulted in the 19-year-old being stabbed, said police. Both parties have known each other for
years. A tit-for-tat relationship recently escalated into this confrontation, said police. An air ambulance landed in the nearby Parkside Elementary school grounds and took the victim to hospital. He has serious but non-life threatening injuries. The suspect fled in a vehicle but was later arrested.

Imminent changes to B.C. recycling rules could financially cripple local newspapers, says the president of the B.C. Yukon Community Newspaper Association. Front-end recycling fees will soon be applied to businesses that produce packaging and printed paper, a move that will cost newspapers $6 million across the province, said Hugh Nicholson, B.C. Yukon Community Newspaper Association director. “Newspapers are kind of the unique product in all this,” said Nicholson, a Nanaimo-based publisher with Glacier Media. “We’re not packaging, like Styrofoam or plastics … and we shouldn’t be lumped in with packaging companies.” On May 19, industrial stewardship group Multi Material B.C. will assume responsibility for curbside collection and processing of containers and printed paper. MMBC is requesting 20 cents per kilogram to recycle newsprint, while similar services in Ontario cost less than one cent per kilogram. MMBC managing director Allen Langdon said the fees fully finance the program and ensure service for multi-family apartments and rural depots, in con-

Bystanders helped an older man who was driving one of three pickups involved in a crash on Fraser Highway near 244 Street on Friday. The crash was triggered by a man who was driving himself to hospital, Langley RCMP say.
Woman praises brave bystanders MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
A woman who witnessed a three-vehicle pile-up on Fraser Highway is saying several bystanders leapt into action, putting their own lives at risk to save one elderly man’s truck from crashing down an embankment on Friday. According to Langley RCMP, a 77-year-old Langley man had suffered a medical event and was driving himself to hospital on Fraser Highway when he smashed his Dodge pickup into the back of a Chev pickup, which then in turn hit a GMC pickup, sending it partially down an embankment near 244 Street.
The 74-year-old Langley man in the GMC truck, whose white pickup was teetering and could have gone further down the shoulder, was unconscious and bleeding from his nose from the crash, said police. Laurie Ng said she heard the bang and ran to her driveway to see what had happened, when she saw the pickup truck with the bleeding elderly man inside. “I saw this one guy trying to prevent it from rolling and another guy at the bumper doing the same thing,” said Ng. “Then it was man after man throwing himself onto the tottering truck . . . Those brave men held tight until the wounded driver could
be helped from his truck.” That senior citizen did regain consciousness and Ng brought out her First Aid kit and a blanket and tended to the injured driver until paramedics arrived. That senior citizen did regain consciousness by the time police arrived. He was taken to hospital, as was the driver whose medical distress caused the three-way rear-ender, confirmed Langley RCMP. He didn’t have a valid driver’s license and was ticketed for that. Everyone is going to be OK from the crash which shut down Fraser Highway for a short time. All those who helped are heroes in Ng’s eyes.

The horrific landslide in Washington state Saturday morning is a good reminder of the challenges that exist when people live at the base of hills — including some in Langley. There is always a risk of landslides, particularly if there has been fill dumped on the hillside, or large numbers of trees have been cut. This year, with increased rain, the soil is very waterlogged. That seems to be the main reason for the slide in Oso, in Snohomish County. There have been landslides in Langley in recent years, notably on 264 Street near the base of the steep hill that rises above Glen Valley. There are many other places in Langley where there are similar risks. Langley Township and Langley City need to take a closer look at places where there is a substantial risk. The first step they can take is to flag properties which could be at high risk, and ensure no new buildings are built on them. Beyond that, plans for responses to any such slides need to be updated and double-checked. Hopefully, no such landslides will take place here, but it does not hurt to be prepared for the worst.

It gets the job done and, at an average cost of $35 per household each year, it gets the job done at a good price. So, if the system for recycling waste packaging is working so well, why is the province so keen to “fix it” and hand it over to the very multi-national corporations who shipped us all that packaging in the first place? Sounds remarkable, but that is exactly what the provincial government is doing. On May 19, the government’s new multi-material recycling regulation will formally end the days of local decision-making over our Blue Box programs and hand it to some of the largest producers of plastic and paper packaging the world has ever known. Critical decisions about the province’s recycling program will no longer be made by elected representatives who live in the communities those programs serve, but instead by a group made up almost entirely of Toronto-based executives of multi-national companies. They will decide who will pay how much for the privilege of collecting and processing your recyclables. What is going on here? The consequence will be a dramatic increase in costs for British Columbia’s businesses, particularly the province’s newspapers. In fact, we estimate that the newspaper industry is threatened with a bill that could come to $14 million. That is a dramatic increase when you consider that newspapers aren’t required to pay product stewardship fees today, directly. Newspapers, like all businesses, pay for these services the same way all British Columbians do: through their property taxes. That doesn’t mean newspapers haven’t been participating in recycling and the environment, far from it. In fact, newspapers are the original recycled product and publishers have taken steps, such as moving to vegetable-based inks, to minimize the environmental impact of our product. Diversion rates for newsprint are a remarkable 85 per cent, already well above the government’s own target. The government’s new recycling regulation wouldn’t do a thing to improve newspapers’ already impressive recycling record. What it will do, however, is dump a massive new cost onto the back of a fragile industry. The new recycling regime will not only cause a wave of damage and job losses across newsrooms everywhere, it will also have an impact on many other businesses, as well as thousands of municipal jobs that will be put at risk with the loss of local decision making for recycling programs. These costs will be passed on to consumers, who will now pay for the cost of recycling every time they have a box of pizza delivered, pick up a carton of milk, or buy a roll of toilet paper. — Peter Kvarnstrom, chair, Canadian Newspaper Association

We won’t be silenced Editor: As March 31 approaches, and council prepares to vote on the Brookswood/Fernridge community plan, we must remember that, regardless of the outcome we are faced with the responsibility of protecting the Brookswood/Fernridge area for generations to come. I am proud to belong to a community that will speak out against the state and corporate initiatives that threaten the environment and natural atmosphere of our Brookswood community. I want to remind all of the passionate citizens involved in this cause that our voices will not be silenced by the result of council’s vote. We will use direct action to have our voices heard. We must recognize the interrelationship of all levels of government and capital interests. The historical development of our society is based on the enclosure and privatization of public land in order for businesses to thrive. Why would we expect anything different in the case of Brookswood? I encourage everyone to show opposition of the development proposal by attending council’s vote on March 31. If the plan is passed, regardless of public disapproval, do not give up on our town. Although the democratic legislative process will have failed us, we can show our solidarity by attending development sites in powerful numbers to display our opposition and protect what is most important to us, a beautiful unified community. We need to acknowledge direct action as a legitimate resource for speaking out against corporate and political power holders. It is not a radical measure. In a country of democratic free speech, the voices of the majority are too often silenced by political and corporate agendas. Let this not be the case for our Brookswood. “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” — Margaret Mead JAMIE THOMAS, BROOKSWOOD
Who owns GNAC? Editor: I have a question. Many people in Brookswood/Fernridge are all up in arms about this new development plan. It has been privately funded by 10 property owners, who are shareholders of the Griffith Neighbourhood Advisory Corporation, to the tune of half a million dollars. My very simple question is, who are these 10 people? Is it not wrong for these people to lay hidden behind the anonymity of a company, while they as individuals have possibly even funded the campaigns of those in office? If they made campaign contributions to the council, what did they get in return? Were Brookswood and Fernridge sold before this bylaw was even proposed? Unveil yourselves GNAC. Stand up to the community. If you truly believe in this plan, then you should be proud of it and want your actual names on it. Why all the secrecy? ANN-MICHELLE DEREUS, LANGLEY
D A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s
Residents of Brookswood and Fernridge came out in large numbers to three days of public hearings earlier this month, to discuss the proposed community plan for the area.
Residents deserve an equal say
Editor: After attending the public hearing meetings, I wondered how things got to the point where members of the Brookswood community was literally begging and pleading to a handful of mostly out-of-town developers, masquerading as the Griffith Neighbourhood Advisory Corporation (GNAC). So I did a little research, and the deeper I would dig, the more worms I found. The spokesman for the GNAC is Cameron Gair, an active licensed realtor. I do not understand how council could not see this as a conflict of interest for Gair, his clients, and the community. How can he objectively look out for the best interest of the entire community, when by law he is required to provide undivided loyalty to his clients? According to my research, since 2010 he has sold several multi-million dollar properties in the area. Some of them were on 32 Avenue and 202 Street, where the densities in the original Brookswood plan were large single family lots with four units per acre, and now have been increased to up to 22 units per acre. I do not blame Gair or the GNAC, they are looking out for their own self interests. As a community we too, need to look out for our self interests and ask how the heck did this come about? In 2011, the GNAC approached council, asking it to begin development planning process in Brookswood, to which the council and Township responded that there was not enough funds to hire additional planning staff. So the GNAC said it would pay for it, in the amount of $500,000, split between 10 property owners. This $500,000 in reality is a loan, as it is stated when development occurs, this money will be paid back to those developers through levies and taxes. The Township can raise taxes for many nondescript issues, but not for one that has the potential to destroy a
community and the very people who have worked so hard to make it what it is. Maybe I should say what it was. Maybe the Township could have went gone back to the residents of 5,000 homes and asked them to pay an additional $100 each on their property tax, which would be eventually refunded down the road. That would have kept this process objective, neutral, and free from outside influence, the way every other community does its planning process. The Township did not do so, because the residents had no idea what was happening in 2011, when the Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Township and GNAC. It was done in relative secrecy as no public notices were mailed out or put in any newspapers. And frankly, the rest of the planning process has been atrocious. The final plan ended up with the most density, townhomes and apartments, when in the planning consultants own previous reports, the majority of the public either wanted less density or just single family lots. Personally, I am in favour of single family development that maintains the existing character of the neighbourhood. Others have differing opinions and I respect that their voices should be heard too. As many of the developers said at the public hearing, change is inevitable, and I suggest that we change this process. Hand back the developers their $500,000 and restart this process so it is neutral, objective and fair. Ask taxpayers if they would give this money to the Township under the same terms, to be paid back when development occurs. Under these terms the GNAC can still provide input, but as regular citizens and property owners, just like the rest of us. In a democracy, I still believe it is one vote per person.

Kristyl Clark, Times Reporter While Jen Hiltz could be the poster child for good health and confidence, that hasn't always been the case. During her childhood and teenage years, the now slim and confident 32-year-old Langley entrepreneur, was often teased for being on the 'chubbier' side. While she was by no means obese, the extra 10 to 15 pounds weighed heavily on her sense of self worth. Shortly after turning 19, Hiltz was faced with the sudden death of her mother; the traumatic loss left her with a huge void – one she filled with food. "I would eat an entire pizza to myself, a cheesecake, a tray of Nanaimo bars, chips, chocolate – the richer the better, because I thought it made me feel better," she said. Hiltz' overindulgence only made her feel worse. Within a year she packed on 30 pounds -- her skin broke out and she was diagnosed as having high blood sugar. " I was warned that if I didn't make changes, I'd become diabetic." Embarrassed to go out in public, Hiltz would avoid leaving the house. "I would be so ashamed of how I looked that I would choose to stay home and just check out movies and continue eating... it was a lot more comfortable," she recalled. In her mid-20's, Hiltz managed to lose about 20 pounds with the help of Weight Watchers. However, her success would prove temporary. "After awhile, I slowly stopped keeping track so the weight slowly started creeping up again," she said. Six years ago, Hiltz found a weight-loss book (Skinny Bitch) that would change her life physically, mentally and financially. "On the front it said no nonsense, tough love guide for savvy girls who want to stop eating crap and start looking fabulous," recalled Hiltz, who finished reading the best-selling self help book in just two days. "It had me convinced that it was time to make some permanent lifestyle changes." Within the first week, Hiltz eliminated meat, dairy, sugar, processed food and caffeine, as well as medications/pills into her body. She also taught herself how to cook and started eating more vegetables, beans, legumes and grains. "I dropped 15 pounds effortlessly in just one

month and felt amazing both inside and out," she said. "My confidence came back, my digestion was a lot better, I had increased energy, better sleep and was just happier in general." In 2009, Hiltz sailed even closer to optimum health – quite literally. "I began going annually on a holistic vegan cruise to gain some more knowledge on plant-based eating, like-minded friends and community," she said. Inspired by the people and healthy cuisine on her voyage at sea, Hiltz decided to start her own food truck and catering business called GYPSY TRUNK Gourmet Fare on dry land. "I am only one out of two vegan food carts in the Vancouver & Fraser Valley," said Hiltz of her booming little business on wheels that offers fresh, healthy and affordable vegan fare. When it comes to achieving a state of happiness and health, Hiltz believes it's a continuous journey – one that is going to be different for everyone. “From experimenting with my body I've just learned that this works best for me,” said Hiltz who has gone from 165 pounds to 135 and has managed to keep it off. For anyone who is unhappy with the way they look or feel, Hiltz' advice is to find a daily purpose. “Live your life; find something to focus your energy on besides food,” she said. “What are you passionate about? What makes you feel free? What is something you can do for hours and not get sick of?" Preparation and planning have also been hugely instrumental to Hiltz’ success, she says.“I like to plan my meals ahead of time – I’ll spend one day per week cooking, gathering recipes together.”

We’ve all heard the reports – child and teen rates of obesity have been growing since the 1970s and now type 2 diabetes, once reserved for the elderly, is joining the trend.

A major study in the US has been looking at teen health since the mid-90s. A report was released based on surveys looking at their sleep patterns and possible consequences. Twenty-three per cent of teens reported going to sleep after 11:30 pm and a further 22 per cent after 1:30 am! Eighty per cent of teens didn’t get the necessary nine hours of sleep. The consequences, while not necessarily deemed cause/effect, were lower grades and increased emotional distress. Better keep up the nagging! How do you know if your teen needs more sleep? Does s/he have trouble getting up in the morning? Have trouble staying awake in class? Feel an overwhelming need for a nap after school? Complain about feeling sleepy all the time? Adolescent bodies and minds are developing quickly and they need nine to 10 hours of sleep per night. Sufficient sleep is associated with improved memory, concentration and motivation and reduced depression. As with sleep, our teens need more exercise!

LANGLEY-SHOT TELEVISION SERIES, WHEN CALLS THE HEART, BEGINS AIRING IN CANADA NEXT MONTH BR EN D A A N D ER SON Tim es Rep o rt er
BRE ND A A ND E RSO N L an gl ey Ti m e s ph o to s
Above: Filming on the first season of the Hallmark Channel series When Calls the Heart, had almost wrapped up as crews shot a scene at Abigail’s Café on a cool and cloudy February day. The family-friendly television show about a Toronto socialite (played by Erin Krakow) who becomes a teacher in a frontier coal mining town in 1910, has been shooting at Jamestown in North Langley for several months. Among the actors who star in the television show are (below left) Lori Loughlin of Full House fame as Abigail Stanton, and Australian actor Daniel Lissing (below, right) as Mountie Jack Thornton. Lissing was most recently seen in the television series Last Resort.
A long stretch of winter rain has given way to a cold, but dry afternoon. Even so, visitors to the Langley set of the television series When Calls the Heart must watch their step, or risk finding themselves ankle-deep in a pool of muck. Muddy boots aside, the ruts and puddles on the packed dirt roads only add to the illusion of having stepped back in time, to the small mining town of Coal Valley on the Canadian frontier, circa 1910. Filming is wrapping up on the first season of the Hallmark Channel series — based on the novel of the same name by best-selling Alberta writer Janette Oke and directed by Michael Landon Jr. — but there is still plenty of action on the north Langley acreage, with two separate film crews working simultaneously in different areas of the set. When Calls the Heart tells the story of a Toronto socialite who has left the security of a comfortable home in the big city to teach in a small coal mining town at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, where one ruthless businessman owns pretty much everything there is to own. It’s a place where law and order is kept by a single Mountie and the young teacher finds herself holding classes inside the town’s saloon after the one-room schoolhouse burns to the ground. ••• Back in 2014, the place is called Jamestown. It’s a sprawling film set, tucked away in a corner of north Langley, which was purpose-built for the TV series. Rising up on both sides of the main dirt street are numerous unadorned wooden buildings. Far from just facades, inside each structure is a fully dressed set — whether it’s an office with a working fireplace, a hotel/saloon that doubles as a schoolhouse or the local mercantile, where plank shelves are crowded with everything that would have been needed to run a household 100 years ago. Set designers have been diligent in keeping the props consistent with the era, said production designer Brentan Harron. Among his crew’s challenges was finding grocery and dry good items that would have been available in 1910, but with labels in good enough shape to pass for brand new. They also changed out the headlights on a 1912 automobile to make it look historically accurate, going so far as to fly one bulb overnight from California. Across a field, east of town stands a trio of row houses — all three pretty much identical inside and out. In post-production, visual effects are used to make it look as though there are dozens upon dozens of houses lined up — accommodation for the miners and their families, Harron said. Inside, the minimal furnishings can be quickly switched out, depending on which character’s home it is supposed to be, the designer explained. Farther to the east is another small set where scenes that take place at the coal mine — on which the town’s existence depends — are shot. Here, a narrow set of rails run out of the woods and into a darkened mine shaft, passing through a surprisingly convincing exterior set, where finely ground rubber passes for coal dust and cleverly disguised foam blocks, make up the mine’s rock face. Even the larger timbers used to support the openings are faux. But you could never tell by looking. Set construction began last summer, but wasn’t completed by the time production began, and so the builders had to leap frog ahead of the film crews, Harron explained. As the series progresses, the town may grow, he added, with the construction of a new school house among the possible additions. Continued Page 19

Passport Canada allows you to apply for a passport for your child if you’re the custodial parent with sole custody and your ex doesn’t have custodial rights. But most separation agreements and divorce court orders these days give parents joint custody, and talk about the child’s primary residence and the different parenting responsibilities and time and contact with the kids after the separation. So if you share parenting with your ex, you’ll need your ex’s signature on your child’s passport application. (Without it, you’ll need a court order, which is costly and could take weeks to get.) You’ll also need to submit all agreements and court orders that deal with the custody or parenting of your child and any travel authorizations (or mobility restrictions) involving the children.

It’s preferable to have the consent letter officially notarized, to show it’s genuine. But that assumes your ex will agree. Ideally, your separation or divorce arrangements would also deal with consent letters for travelling with the kids out of the country. You might each give the other a general travel consent letter, so a separate letter isn’t needed each time one of you wants to travel with the kids. Or if individual consent letters are required for each trip, typically the agreement or order will say that you each will give a consent letter if the other’s request to travel with the kids is reasonable. Of course, it might also contain restrictions on the kids’ travel in appropriate cases. Travel abroad with children can be tricky, so don’t leave things to the last minute.

Langley buildings take the LEED in going green When lamenting about how we human beings are wasteful, what do you think of first? Do you think about the vehicle you drive or how much you drive it? Do you think about the food and drink you consume? The stuff you buy? Maybe too much stuff? The stuff you throw out or recycle or perhaps “re-purpose?” These are all important things to think about. But are you missing something major? You are probably in one as you read this — a building. How energy efficient is it? Does it passively collect energy because of its design, or perhaps reach deep into the Earth for some geothermal energy? What kinds of materials were used to build it? Recycled materials? Materials that insulate? Materials that will last a good long time? Does the building conserve water? Part of the problem is that buildings last a while. So unless you retrofit an existing one (which is possible), you aren’t going to change to a green building overnight.

The contestants have been auditioned and the top 26 selected, the judges named and many of the tickets sold. But there’s still a chance to grab a seat as the fourth annual Langley Has Talent competition gets set to begin this Saturday, March 29, with semifinal competition at Christian Life Assembly. All 26 acts, including singers, dancers, bands — even a unicyclist — will vie for thousands of dollars in cash and industry prizes, beginning this weekend. Following Saturday’s competition, the top acts, determined by a panel of three judges and audience votes, will go on to compete in the finals two weeks later, on Saturday, April 12. Returning to adjudicate the competition once again this year is Vancouver talent agent Jolene Moore. She will be joined at the judges’ table by four newcomers to the event, including singer Natasha Zimbaro, Leah Emmott — former drummer for the allgirl punk rock band LiveonRelease, who are best known for their single I’m Afraid of Britney Spears, event promoter John Donnelly — who received North America-wide recognition for his work on Fusion Jazz Fest, and Langley television and film actor Mike Roberds, who is best known for his role as Uncle Fester on The New Addams Family.

The school program has been well received, said LHT founder, Peter Luongo, noting that many families have taken advantage of the offer.

True family-friendly dramas are a rarity, says Loughlin From Page 17
When Calls the Heart is filmed almost exclusively on the Langley set, although crews have travelled to Coquitlam and Pitt Lake for scenic vista shots. ••• It’s a jam-packed “16-page day,” but four of the series’ main cast members have carved out a few minutes to chat about their characters and what life might have been like 100 years ago. Corsets, outhouses and the lack of an automatic washer and dryer might have been deal breakers for Erin Krakow, the actress laughs. Seated in front of a working fireplace inside one of the sets, Krakow, who plays Elizabeth Thatcher, remarks that her excellent posture is thanks to the constricting foundation garment, which she adds has helped her get into character as a school teacher in 1910. The series also stars Lori Loughlin (Full House) as widow Abigail Stanton and Daniel Lissing (Last Resort) as Mountie Jack Thornton. On the set this day as well is soap actor and Melrose Place alumnus, Jack Wagner, in a guest role as a forensic investigator who is looking into a mine explosion that killed a number of town’s men, including Abigail’s husband. Signs of a romance developing between the two characters may just be an indication that Wagner will be back in season 2.
Based on a novel that has sold millions of copies on both sides of the border, When Calls the Heart had a solid fan base before the first episode aired in the U.S. Both Krakow and Loughlin point out that the series is one of the few truly family friendly dramas out there at the moment. “Anyone can watch this show and love it,” said Krakow. “There’s also a message of self-reliance for women,” added Loughlin, whose character goes to work in the mine to support her family, after her husband is killed in an explosion. As the town’s only lawman, Jack has his hero moments, but a lot of the time, he’s just a young man trying to figure things out, said Lissing. The actor, who was born and raised in Australia, was well aware of the iconic image of the Canadian Mountie before he was cast in the role and admitted that he felt the weight of donning the Red Serge. “I feel responsible not to make it a caricature,” he said. Lissing agreed with his castmates that the show is definitely family friendly, but at the same time, he added, as a series that opens with the deaths of 43 miners, “it has some pretty heavy themes.” When Calls the Heart is already airing on the Hallmark Channel in the U.S. Canadian viewers will be able to check it out on Superchannel beginning April 16.

Under its new regulations, the BC Government has set up an association led by big corporations to take over the local Blue Box recycling program throughout BC. If you look closely, you’ll see that of seven board members, six are executives of Toronto-based multi-national corporations, with the seventh weighing in from Montreal. How do you like that, British Columbia? This means, unlike the current program run locally by BC municipalities, this new program will be managed not by people whose first responsibility is our local environment, but rather, their Bay St. profits. That can’t be a good thing for BC. The most perplexing thing is that we currently have a Blue Box program that works, is efficient, and costs BC homeowners just

$35 a year on average. The new proposed system does not guarantee to keep our local environment as its first priority, nor does it guarantee that there won’t be job losses here in BC. It doesn’t guarantee service levels, or say anything about how big business will pass along the costs to you when you go to pick up a pizza or buy groceries. Yikes! Perhaps this is why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to sign onto the new program, calling it a “scam.” Given that, maybe it’s time you called Premier Clark to keep BC’s environmental decisions right here in BC where they belong.

Bantam Eagles soar to provincial title GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts
Halfway through the season, the Langley Eagles were a middle of the pack team. But ever since the playoffs began, the team has been on fire, culminating with victory at the B.C. bantam tier 4 minor hockey championships in Windermere Valley last week (March 16 to 19). “The kids just came together so well,” said Eagles coach Kevin LaPointe. “The way they played together, they peaked at the right time.” The Eagles won five
straight playoff games to qualify for provincials, and then against the best teams of each region, they won five of six, with the lone blemish a tie during the round robin stage. In the championship final, Langley fell behind 1-0 just a couple of minutes in against Kamloops. But the team regrouped and tied the score at one in the second period. “It was a back-and-forth battle the whole way,” LaPointe said. “(But) we managed to pop two in the final four minutes to seal the deal.” He was referring to a
five-minute penalty Kamloops took with the score tied at one and four minutes to play. “We thought we had a heck of a chance to get to this point, to play in provincials,” LaPointe said. “This was our goal right from the outset.” In the team’s round robin games, they opened with a 7-3 win over Alberni Valley on March 16 and then edged Kelowna 4-3 the next day. Day three began by doubling up Kamloops 6-3 in the day’s first game and then playing Windermere Valley to a 3-3 tie. The Eagles wrapped up
their spot in the championship final with a 9-3 win over Fraser Lake on March 19 before playing Kamloops later that evening. LaPointe said the goaltending was spectacular all tournament, and that the team did not let early adversity affect them. “A couple of the games, we would let the other team get into the game with the early goal, but we always came back,” he said. “No one had any doubt that we could do it.” “It would just seem that once we got one goal, we would just roll along nice and smoothly.”

Rivermen’s season over at hands of Express COQUITLAM ELIMINATES LANGLEY IN SI X GAMES IN MAINLAND FINALS GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts
Three goals in the third period spelled the end of the season for the Langley Rivermen. The Rivermen were up 3-2 after 40 minutes against the Coquitlam Express on Friday night at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre in Coquitlam. But the Express scored three times in the third period for the 5-3 game six victory, wrapping up the BCHL Mainland Division final series four games to two. The Express led 2-1 after one period with Ryan Rosenthal and Brendan Lamont — a Langley Minor Hockey Association alum — scoring for the home team while Rivermen captain Mitch McLain responded for the visitors. Langley scored twice on the power play in the second period with Will Cook and Tanner Johnson both finding the back of the net. But 1:52 into the third, Jace Hennig tied the game and then with seven minutes to go, Canon Pieper put the Express ahead for good. Zach Hodder struck for the final goal with 2:29 to play. This was the second straight series upset for the Express, who are coached by former Langley Chiefs associate head coach Barry Wolff.

Langley won game five 5-2 but were eliminated with a 5-3 loss in game six in Coquitlam. The Express were the third seed in the BCHL and beat No. 2 Prince George in six games in the opening round. Coquitlam was 11 points back of Prince George in the regular season standings and 23 back of the Rivermen. Coquitlam, which finished the regular season with the second-worst goals against average of the 12 playoff teams, leads the post-season with a 2.58 goals against average in 12 games. The Rivermen had staved off
elimination with a 5-2 victory in game five the night before at the Langley Events Centre, but could not do so for a second consecutive game. Cook, Gage Torrel, Tyson Witala, Johnson and Jakob Reichert scored in the game five victory. Langley out-scored Coquitlam 19-18 over the six games. The Rivermen were the top team in the BCHL over the regular season, finishing with a record of 37-13-3-5 and 82 points,
becoming the first Langley junior A hockey team ever to win the Ron Boileau Memorial Trophy as the overall leader. The team also had individual accolades as head coach Bobby Henderson was named the BCHL coach of the year. Matt Ustaski led the Rivermen in post-season scoring with seven goals and 15 points in 12 games. Langley loses five players to graduation while another five
are scheduled to leave to play NCAA hockey. Coquitlam (Mainland Division winner), the Victoria Grizzlies (Island Division winner) and the Vernon Vipers (Interior Division winner) will now engage in a home-and-home round robin series beginning March 28. The top two teams from that advance to the BCHL championship best-of-seven series to determine the Fred Page Cup champions.

Vancouver Stealth’s Nick Weiss attempts to slow Calgary Roughnecks’ Shawn Evans during the Roughnecks’ 13-8 National Lacrosse League victory at the Langley Events Centre on Friday night. He said he used the time to regroup for the stretch drive. “I just tried to get back to shooting with confidence; I haven’t done that this year,” Ratcliff said. Hall said the team’s defence played well for the final three quarters and they were not helped by the offence, which both failed to score, and also cost them on the defensive end. “The offence — we talked about it — they have to be more accountable in the transition game,” the coach said. “(Dane) Dobbie got three uncontested goals off the short bench. We couldn’t get a defender on the floor because the offence wasn’t getting off (the floor).” And another two or three times, the coach lamented that an offensive player would be back
on defence, but not doing a well enough job of defending, resulting in Calgary scores. The Stealth find themselves trailing the 5-8 Colorado Mammoth for the final playoff position in the West Division with six games to play. Ratcliff said the team can’t talk about building on their success in the second half of the loss to Calgary. “You say build on it every week; we are 3-9, we just have to win,” he said. “It is time to shut up and stop saying the stupid things, and go and win a lacrosse game. If we don’t start winning now, we are going to miss the playoffs and we are too good of a team to do that.” The Stealth host Buffalo (8-3) on Saturday at the LEC.

Being down 8-0 midway through the second quarter is not a recipe for success. But that is exactly the position the Vancouver Stealth found themselves in on Friday night as they hosted the Calgary Roughnecks in National Lacrosse League action at the Langley Events Centre. The struggling Stealth lost 138, their seventh loss in the past eight games as they fell to 3-9. “You can’t bury yourself 8-0 and expect to win a game in this league,” said Stealth coach Chris Hall. “It is disappointing. “Calgary didn’t do anything that we didn’t talk about or plan for. “Our offence has been struggling again and they got a huge lead on us and we didn’t come to life until after that.” The Stealth trailed 8-2 at the half and had pulled to 11-8 with five minutes to go in the game. But a two-man advantage goal sapped any momentum as Calgary scored the final two goals. It was just the team’s second game in the past five weeks as they have had a huge break in the schedule. The Stealth had played just once since Feb. 15 and that was on March 8. Lewis Ratcliff said the team had a sluggish start and their timing was off with their lack of game action lately. “Calgary was hungry, we came out flat and they took advantage of it,” he said. “I don’t think we were as awful as 8-0 looks.” Ratcliff led the Stealth with three goals and six points. He returned to the line-up after being made a healthy scratch in the team’s last contest. “It has been 12 years without a healthy scratch so obviously it hurts the ego,” he admitted. “But I will deal with it.”

Getting up and active with PAL Spring is the perfect time to turn over a new leaf and start getting active. Introducing regular physical activity into your life is an important first step towards better health, a happier mindset, and more. The whole family will benefit from increased activity and getting on the road to a healthier lifestyle. There are so many known benefits to physical activity and an active lifestyle. Among them are a reduced risk of heart disease, premature death and stroke. Being active has also been proven to help improve self-esteem and confidence, help you sleep better, increase your energy and reduce depression, among many other things. Furthermore, it helps maintain functional independence, mobility, and bone health. For many of us, it can be quite daunting to take that first step towards an active lifestyle. And it can be more challenging to start something new without any help. The good news is residents of BC have access to a free physical activity counselling service called the Physical Activity Line (PAL). Through a phone call or online, qualified exercise professionals are available to provide exercise and physical activity advice and help you develop a customized physical activity plan for every member of the family, from children to older adults. When it comes to physical activity, more is better. To achieve the health benefits, it is important to try and progress towards the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines, which recommend at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day for children and youth and 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity activity each week for adults. Adults and older adults should also add muscle- and bone-
strengthening activities that work the major muscle groups at least twice a week to help with balance and prevent falls for those with mobility impairments. Physical activity doesn’t have to mean playing a sport or going to the gym. Playing a family game of tag, going for a swim or taking a walk outside with the family pet or to the store to get groceries count towards the physical activity recommendations. Try out something new; you may find your new favourite activity! In any case, you’re bound to have some fun and feel like a happier and healthier you. The Physical Activity Line is available Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m in the Lower Mainland, toll-free at 1-877-725-1149. For more information, visit www.physicalactivityline.com or email info@physicalactivity.com.
Other physical activity resources include ParticipACTION (www.participACTION.com) and Healthy Families BC (www.healthyfamiliesbc.ca).
