Brookswood residents marched from Noel Booth Park to Brookswood Park, at 200 Street and 40 Avenue, on Sunday to voice opposition to plans to develop and densify that area of the Township.

Brookswood rallies against densification A LY S S A O ’ DE L L Tim e s Re po r t e r

Hundreds of Brookswood residents and their supporters turned out in the rain on Sunday, to rally against the densification of their community in the wake of Langley Township’s proposed Brookswood/ Fernridge Official Community Plan. “What we’re seeing here, I think from everybody that is here, [is] a lack of con-

fidence and trust in the council to represent the desires of the people,” said one Brookswood resident who spoke at the event and only identified herself as Anna R. The march of 250 to 300 demonstrators, carrying colourful signs decrying densification and compromise of Brookswood’s rivers, forests and liveability, started at Noel Booth Park at 12 p.m., and ended

Barn fire sends out plumes of smoke MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Black smoke could be seen as far away as Burnaby after a huge barn fire on the Surrey side of Port Kells Monday morning. It is Surrey RCMP’s understanding that the former mushroom barn was housing a large medicinal marijuana grow operation when it went up in smoke around 9 a.m. The fire took place at 18646 88 Ave. Police and Surrey fire investigators have spoken to the owner who was renting out the building. The fire burned the building down to ashes and there was little firefighters could do to stop it. Surrey RCMP said Monday afternoon that the fire is still too hot for investigators to look into what sparked the blaze. While there are

some “allegations” made by the owner that the fire is suspicious, Cpl. Bert Paquet said police aren’t willing to say that at this time. Today (Tuesday) marks the end of licenses for home grown legal medicinal marijuana grow operations. As of April 1, medical marijuana will only be allowed to be grown in commercial buildings, not in individual homes. The new federal legislation has been challenged by growers and users, and an injunction issued by the Federal Court is allowing growers to continue to grow medicinal marijuana, pending the appeal of the legislation. Results of a recent Freedom of Information request, passed on to The Times, shows that there were 482 medicinal marijuana licences issued to individuals in Langley, as of March 14.

Auto thefts down 78 per cent JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Fire tears through a former mushroom barn on 88 Avenue in Port Kells on Monday morning. Police and fire officials are still looking for the cause.

Mail theft on rise again Over the last month, Aldergrove and other communities throughout Langley have been victimized by break-ins of mailboxes. On March 24, 18 mailboxes were pried open

and the mail items may have been stolen in Aldergrove. RCMP is asking the public to be particularly vigilant and report suspicious people and vehicles.

Car thefts in the Lower Mainland have fallen 78 per cent in the past decade and police are crediting the bait car program for much of that drop. The latest statistics show an eight per cent drop from 5,200 vehicles stolen in the region in 2012 to 4,700 last year. In contrast, more than 21,000 cars were stolen in 2003, a year before the first use in B.C. of vehicles implanted with cameras and technology to safely disable them as officers converge to catch thieves red-handed. ICBC road safety director John Dickinson said the payoff in reduced auto insurance claims has been dramatic. ICBC handled $98 million in stolen auto claims in 2003, when an average of 70 cars were stolen every day in B.C. By 2013 that had dropped to

$27 million in claims, or 17 stolen vehicles per day. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the number of vehicles not stolen last year — compared to 2003 — was equivalent to filling B.C.’s largest ferry with vehicles 40 times over. The single biggest 10-year decreases in car theft have been recorded in Coquitlam (down 88 per cent from 2003), White Rock (down 87 per cent) and Burnaby and New Westminster (both down 86 per cent.) The bait car program, run by the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT) has since expanded to include boats, ATVs, snowmobiles, trailers and other “bait property.” Thefts from vehicles have also declined about 68 per cent in B.C. over the last decade. Insp. Peter Jadis, the head of IMPACT, said the team’s officers

are now targeting larger scale auto rings that are running chop shops and in some cases simply stealing cars for the value of the metal. That’s a shift from past years where thieves were often out to joy ride or commit break-andenters using stolen vehicles. “A car can be reduced to $200 to $300 worth of recycled metal,” Jadis said. “That’s something fairly new we’re seeing.” Police say the items most often stolen from vehicles are: smartphones; other personal electronics like tablets, laptops and GPS units; work tools; credit cards and identification; stereo equipment; cash and change; car parts and accessories; garage door openers; sunglasses; and keys.

A 23-year-old Surrey man died on impact after his bright yellow Nissan Xterra crossed the centre line and crashed into a parked flatbed semi trailer on Sunday morning. The crash took place at 1:30

a.m. in the 26900 block of Gloucester Way. The 23-year-old was the vehicle’s sole occupant. Langley RCMP believe speed played a role in the crash. Police are still hoping to speak to an Indo-Canadian man who was driving a white semi truck.

He left before officers had a chance to speak with him. The road was closed for most of Sunday while police worked at the scene. A mechanical inspection of the vehicle will take place this week. This is the third fatal crash in Langley this year.

Willoughby a prime example of what is not wanted, say Brookswood residents From Page 1

One speaker at the event, a Willoughby resident who shared her family’s experiences of the densification and development that has taken place in that community, said it serves as a warning for Brookswood. “Out of 120 speakers over three nights [at the Brookswood public hearings], I believe that I personally heard 40 people use Willoughby as a synonym and an adjective for poor planning,” said Keri Ross. “We’ve got our own words in Langley for poor planning — it’s Willoughby.” She told the crowd, who cheered loudly at her

comments on the Township’s unwillingness to admit to problems in Willoughby, that lack of sidewalks, the disappearance of back yards, parking availability and access to infrastructure like transit resulted in a 2013 home assessment for her family that was reduced by $32,000. “They need to look at what our aquifer can sustain … and they have to come up with the maximum population that is sustainable based on what we have here,” said Anna. Langley Township council was to vote on a third reading of the bylaw authorizing the controversial plan during its regular meeting Monday night. The meeting was to take place at Christian Life Assembly, as a large crowd was expected.

Langley Times honoured with multiple industry awards FRANK BUCHOLTZ Times Reporter

The Times has been triply honoured by the newspaper industry, winning awards in three separate competitions sponsored by newspaper industry associations. It won second place in the North America-wide Local Media Association Newspaper of the Year competition, for newspapers with circulations from 22,501 to 37,500, coming second to the Sarasota Observer, in Sarasota, Fla. Judges said the following about The Times: “(There is a ) strong mix of news, public service and features. Well‐written and strongly edited. Amazing amount of “refrigerator news” for readers to clip.” In the area of typography, “classic use of typefaces that are easy to read. Strong hierarchy of fonts. Teases, indexes and sells are well‐executed. (In advertising), colour palette for locally produced advertising without being garish. Borders to editorial are consistent. The “block” of ads

make for smooth editorial layout. Ad directories are smart‐looking.” Overall, the judges said “There is much to read and savour here. Everything about this publication is well‐ thought out.” The Times also received word Thursday that it placed third in the Canadian Community Newspaper Association’s general excellence category, for newspapers with a circulation of 25,000 and higher. Two editions, one from January, 2013 and one from August, 2013. were submitted for judging. The Times was judged to have the best front page and third-best editorial page, finishing third overall. Kamloops This Week placed first overall, with What’s Up Muskoka, from Muskoka, Ontario, coming second. Reporter and arts writer Brenda Anderson won first place in the best historical writing category, for newspapers with a circulation of 12,500 or more. Her feature story on Bob Crerar, a Langley resident who took part in the battle at Pearl

Harbor, which brought the United States into the Second World War, was published on Nov. 12, 2013. Police and court reporter Monique Tamminga placed second in the best news story category, for newspapers with a circulation of 12,500 or more. Her story headlined “Murderer continues to victimize from jail,” published on Feb. 21,

2013, told how double murderer William McCotter continues to play the justice system to his advantage, and victimize members of the families of his two victims. He murdered a man and a woman on the street in Langley City, outside their apartment building, on Dec. 2, 2001. In the B.C. and Yukon Community Newspaper Association awards,

which will be presented in Richmond in April, production manager Millie McKinnon is one of the three finalists in the ad campaign category, for her design work on the advertising for Langley Has Talent. The final of this year’s event, part of an ongoing arts and entertainment event to highlight hometown talent, takes place on April 12 at Christian Life Assem-

bly. Organizers are raising funds and awareness so that Langley can one day have its own arts centre. The Times is also among the top three finalists in the community service category. The award was given for the series of stories, ads and other material prepared each year to promote Langley Good Times Cruise-In, the largest one-day event

in the community and one that raises thousands of dollars for local charities each year. The Times also produces a special section highlighting various events at the Cruise-In car show, which is published each year just before the event. This year’s Cruise-In, which is organized by the Cruise-In board headed by president Eric Taylor, is scheduled for Sept. 6.

On the surface, the changes to the goverance of TransLink seem good. Mayors will be given significantly more power over the direction TransLink is going, not just a vote on a spending plan they have no say over. At the same time, voters will be able to exercise some say over TransLink as well, for the first time ever. There will be a referendum on TransLink spending and tax priorities by next June, and this November, mayors can be held accountable for the decisions they have made about TransLink up that that point. However, there are two key challenges which remain unresolved. One is the ability of mayors to access other sources of taxation, other than the gas tax, Hydro bill levy, and property taxes which are now used, and the vehicle levy that many politicians don’t want to touch with a ten-foot pole. Mayors have often said they want to use the provincial carbon tax to help pay for transit expansion, which seems to be a logical suggestion. However, the tax is revenue-neutral, with all revenue offset by other tax reductions. Unless that shifts, any carbon tax revenue TransLink gets would simply be an additional drain on the provincial treasury to fund TransLink — something that is not popular in other regions of B.C. where there is less transit service. The other major challenge comes down to the ability of mayors to think regionally. They are elected by voters in their respective cities, and quite naturally their main desire is to keep those voters onside. Thus mayors of Vancouver, Burnaby and New Westminster have zero interest in extending rapid transit lines south of the Fraser, particularly if it would mean a reduction of local service in their communities. The same is true for mayors on this side of the Fraser River — they have no interest in a rapid transit extension towards UBC, fearing that all capital funds will go to that cause, leaving none for transit expansion south of the Fraser. While some mayors do think regionally, they are in a minority. And their voices of reason are often shouted down by other loudmouthed parochial mayors. These changes mean nothing if there is not a swift move towards better transit in all parts of the region.

Assume the worst The Auditor General says British Columbia they isn’t prepared to cope with a major earth-

say

quake. Then again, is anybody? Geologists say a mega-thrust earthquake, like the one that killed 131 people in Alaska 50 years ago, occurs about every 600 years along the West Coast. Other scientists say we have a 12 per cent chance of getting hit by a big quake in the next 50 years. Such a quake, if it’s accompanied by a tsunami, could cause $75 billion in damage, says the Insurance Bureau of Canada. That would devastate the province’s economy, says the Auditor General. While the government responded by promising to take immediate action to address the Auditor General’s concerns, it’s hard to imagine we’ll ever reach a state of preparedness that will allow scientists to exhale and challenge Mother Nature to bring it on. No country is better prepared for the “big one” than Japan. After all, it’s been hit by a fifth of the world’s biggest earthquakes. But when a magnitude-9 earthquake, followed by a huge tidal wave, hit northeast Japan in March, 2011, the country was still caught off guard. Almost 16,000 people died. Damage topped $300 billion. A nuclear power plant was damaged. The lesson to be learned from the Auditor General’s report, and Japan’s experience, is that we can’t rely on government to keep us safe. We have to assume the worst will happen and do what we can to ensure our own survival and of our loved ones. When it comes to natural disaster, we can only mitigate the risk. Not eliminate it. — Burnaby News Leader

Start planning process over Editor: As the third reading of the Brookswood/Fernridge Community Plan quickly approaches (it was scheduled for Monday night), it’s time to start asking some hard questions. The first question has to be — How is it that a group of 10 people can form a corporation and then decide the fate of an entire community? The Griffiths Neighbourhood Advisory Corporation (GNAC) fronted $500,000 to the Township of Langley in order to have a new community plan drawn up. It is also appears that it is common practice for our Township to accept money from a group of anonymous persons. The fact that the persons involved with this corporation are able to safely hide behind its name is appalling. The fact that the Township has no issue with listening to the needs of a very small group of people, who likely stand to make millions, over the needs of the thousands who live in the area, is even more appalling. One would think that with any corporation dealing with the Township, which purports to be working in the “best interests” of its residents, transparency would be key. Right from the start this process of creating a community plan has been about as opaque as they come. While smiling and “listening” to the input of the citizens they are supposed to be working for, it appears that the mayor, the council and the planning department have simply been doing their own thing, with the guid-

ance of GNAC. Does it not matter that record numbers of concerned residents turned out to the public hearing to express themselves? Does it not matter that over 70 per cent were strongly opposed to this plan and the way in which it was created? Does it not matter that a good portion of the remaining 30 per cent had some reservations about the plan, even if they agreed with parts of it? Does it not matter that there are no environmental impact ALY S S A O’DELL L an gley Tim es studies produced to say that the sensitive aquifer, the salm- Erin Pasternik, daughter Charlotte Pasternik, on-bearing creeks Makena Schmidt and dad Mike Schmidt join and the natural hab- Atticus the not-so-small pup at the Brookitat of Brookswood/ swood anti-densification march, which started Fernridge will, in at Noel Booth Park Sunday. fact, be able sustain rather millions of dollars).

Tax exemptions suggested Editor: There has to be a way. Surely, as a community, we can channel some of the discord surrounding the Coulter Berry building into a creative solution that would be acceptable to both sides of the issue. We agree that the design, façade, and amenities of the building are not the problem, just its height and mass. We agree that we need and want more parking and we agree that the excavation as it sits now is neither safe nor sightly. If cost is truly the issue, then instead of the Township using our tax dollars to fight the ALR and its own constituents in court, why not figure out a way to offer permissive tax exemptions and waive some development cost fees so that Eric Woodward can complete the underground parking and build a compliant two-storey

building? A two-storey building will require a smaller number of the parking spaces, freeing up more for public use. The cost to the Township would benefit us all. If more residences are deemed to be the biggest need at the moment, then the upper floor could accommodate these and office space could be planned for the second storey of future development which is inevitable across the street. If shops and businesses were lined up waiting to move into the village, we would never see a vacant storefront and this is not the case. Let’s take egos off the table, recognize that mistakes were made and get on with putting this great community back together. L. LIGHTFOOT, LANGLEY

Plan got the fast track Editor: Back in December, 2010, the council priorities committee referred to a future afternoon council meeting, to review provisions of the existing Brookswood/Fernridge Community Plan including infill development potential, based on current zoning.

In an afternoon meeting in May, 2011, council authorized staff to proceed with a process to update the Brookswood/Fernridge Community Plan. Councillor Steve Ferguson made the motion. It got fast tracked somehow. DAVID CHAMBERS, LANGLEY

Aquifer ignored Editor: Wikipedia defines “aquifer” as “an underground layer of water bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials — (gravel, sand or silt) from which groundwater can be extracted. In 2004, Langley Township retained independent consultants to undertake the largest and most complex groundwater model developed by any municipality in the province. Consultants and the Township worked with Ministry of Water, Air and Land Protection, the Greater Vancouver Regional District and the City of Surrey, in an analysis of 18 aquifers in the Township, some of which straddle the borders with the adjacent municipalities of Surrey and Abbotsford. The area covered in the analysis is 24 km long by 22 km wide. On March 26, 2006, The Times reported “Township geologist Antigone Dixon-Warren made a presentation to council updating councillors on the development and implementation schedules of the Water Management Plan. “ Our vision . . is to ensure that we have a healthy and sustainable groundwater (supply) for the Township,” she said.” In 2007, the Langley Advance reported that Dixon-Warren said “We are working with the province to develop legislation customized to our area and its specific needs, to put in place plans to preserve this valuable resource for generations to come. We take for granted the fact that our water sources are secure and will last forever and this is simply not the case.”

Three members of council, Councillors Charlie Fox, Kim Richter and Steve Ferguson, had been appointed by council to help develop the plan. At a Langley Township council meeting on March 3, 2008, there was discussion about a proposed fill site, known as “Brookswood Pond.” After many protests from Brookswood residents against filling the groundwater lake behind Firehall 5, the final recommendation by then-mayor Kurt Alberts was to not fill the aquifer lake behind Firehall 5, in order to protect the aquifer. Now fast forward to 2014, and the Brookswood/Griffith Neighbourhood Plan. It is a proposal to build, right on top of the Brookswood aquifer, high-density housing. This means removing (to build foundations) and selling for big bucks, the very gravel that constitutes an aquifer. This is ludicrous, simply ludicrous. Just ask any of the geologists, hydrologists, hydro technical engineers or experts from any country in the world, for that matter. This is not only a bad plan, this is a destructive plan. My vote is against it. Like it or not, Joni Mitchell was and still is “dead on” when she she wrote and sang her hit song, Big Yellow Taxi — “You don’t know what you have ’til it’s gone.”! MARJANNE VAN LIESHOUT, LANGLEY

Reduce firefighter numbers Editor: It is time for Langley City to cut back. I am writing to voice my opinion with regards to manning of the Langley City fire department. Currently, they run five guys on a shift, most of the time it is four, as there is often someone on vacation or sick. The majority of calls they go to are medical assists. There are very few fires and the stats will show that. I agree that this is a very important part of our City services. We have some very well-trained professional fire fighters (full-time), backed up by volunteer fire fighters, but the expense

is out of this world. Why doesn’t the City cut back to four on each shift or even three? The City have the volunteers to pull from, and mutual aid is available from Surrey and the Township of Langley. I am wondering if the International Asociation of Fire Fighters is pushing the City around or what. Now I am expecting the union to reply to this, but don’t let its explanations fool you. It’s a no-brainer, cut back to three or four per shift. It will work just fine and save the taxpayers lots of money. J. JORDAN, LANGLEY CITY

Regional role is necessary Editor: It is interesting that an editorial from the Maple Ridge News, published in the March 27 Times, contradicts the editorial in The Times (March 18) which advocated local government control, as opposed to regional planning. The Maple Ridge News has it right. This is especially true when you look at Langley, where certain developers can get projects approved, regardless of appropriate planning principles.

More often than not these developers, with senior administration in the Town ship greasing the skids, claim that what they are doing is smart growth. When you look at the Wall proposal and even at the destruction in Willoughby (with, unfortunately, Brookswood next on deck), the only appropriate phrase is “dumb growth.” DOUG MCFEE, LANGLEY

Langley car thefts down MONIQUE TAMMING A Tim es Reporter

Thanks to bait cars in Langley, there were 74 per cent fewer vehicle thefts and 68 per cent fewer breakins in 2013 compared to 2003, when auto crime incidents in B.C. reached an all-time high. Langley City gained the dubious title of Car Theft Capital of Canada in 2003, when 1,200 vehicles were stolen in the two Langleys. In both Langleys, there were 1,600 reported thefts from vehicles. Last year, there were only 530. However, break-ins to vehicles is

on the upswing in places like Walnut Grove right now, warn Langley RCMP. Police say the items most often stolen from vehicles are: smartphones; other personal electronics like tablets, laptops and GPS units; work tools; credit cards and identification; stereo equipment; cash and change; car parts and accessories; garage door openers; sunglasses; and keys. Thieves who snatch garage door openers from a vehicle and get the home address from the vehicle registration continues to be a concern.

Older Hondas targeted From Page 3

and get the home address from the vehicle registration continues to be a concern. Keys stolen from clothing in gyms and rec centres are also a way thieves can get into cars and bypass immobilizers. The most frequently stolen vehicles in Metro Vancouver last year were older model Honda Civics

or Accords and Dodge/Plymouth/ Chrysler Caravan/Voyageurs. Ford F-series pickup trucks (2005-2006) were among the most targeted vehicles in the Fraser Valley, behind 1998-2000 Honda Civics. Police also issued a new annual list of top 10 most wanted car thieves in B.C. Friday. There is a slideshow of the suspects on The Times’ website, langleytimes.com.

Open house on pipeline project The public is invited to provide input on the twinning of the Trans Mountain pipeline at an open house on Wednesday in Walnut Grove. The existing pipeline runs through North Langley, including the urban area of Walnut Grove. Plans call for the new pipeline route to veer away from the existing route somewhere in the Fort Langley/Walnut Grove area. One possibility has the new line running through Redwoods Golf Course to connect to a possible pipeline corridor along the CN rail line. Landowners in the Fort Langley area have expressed concern about the new route going through farmland, and close to

the Salmon River. Kinder Morgan, owner of Trans Mountain, filed its application to twin the pipeline with the National Energy Board on Dec. 16, 2013. The application seeks approval to build and operate the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (TMEP). The TMEP proposes to twin the existing Trans Mountain Pipeline, increasing its capacity from 300,000 barrels per day to 890,000 barrels per day between Strathcona County, Alberta and Trans Mountain’s oil terminal in Burnaby. The company is continuing with engineering and environment studies, and engagement and communications with landowners, Aboriginal com-

munities and stakeholders. “We value the feedback, questions, concerns and comments from communities through which our pipeline study corridor runs. It has, and will be, used in our planning as we continue to optimize our study corridor and then ultimately our pipeline route,” the company says in a press release. The Langley open house is on Wednesday, April 2, and people can drop in between 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. It takes place at the Holiday Inn, 8750 204 St. in Walnut Grove. Another open house is set for Coquitlam on Thursday, April 3, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Executive Plaza, 405 North Road in Coquitlam.

Blazing the Trail to Your Retirement Dreams Baby boomers are redefining retirement. Even when they turn 65, they may not necessarily pack up their desk and enjoy a quiet retirement lifestyle like their parents did. Chances are they are going to enjoy retirement differently. If you’re part of this influential group that is redefining retirement, you’ll also need to redefine how you plan for this exciting new chapter of your life.

To Longevity and Good Health

Different Retirement Lifestyles

Creating a New Family Tradition

Characteristically, boomers have enjoyed higher standards of living than their parents. In addition, healthier lifestyles and medical advances are leading to longer life expectancies. All these factors indicate that this generation will enjoy higher standards of retirement as well. Achieving this requires careful planning so your savings is adequate to enjoy the rest of your life on your terms.

Instead of focusing solely on their own needs, boomers place a great deal of emphasis on leaving a legacy and helping family members reach their goals. Through efficient tax and estate strategies, boomers are able fulfill the own retirement objectives while leaving a legacy to care for their families.

Times Have Changed– So has the Retirement Age Unlike their parents, boomers may not necessarily be working towards the goal of retirement. Some have found fulfilling careers they want to continue past the age of 65 or even planning a second career after “retirement.”

Living longer ultimately means very little without your health. With longer life expectancies and medical advances that allow people to recover from illness, you may also need to think about building health care costs, such as in-home care or specialized treatments, into your retirement plans.

Charitable Giving For a lot of boomers, writing a cheque to save taxes just isn’t enough. Many have special causes that they are passionate about. If charitable giving through time or funds is in your retirement plans, you and your advisor can evaluate how you can balance both your retirement lifestyle and charitable giving at the same time. With sophisticated tax strategies, you may even be able to make more significant contributions to your cause.

Recycling organization is full of holes K ELV I N MC C U L L O C H Bla ck Pre s s c o n t r i b u t o r

A few months back, I received a notification which advised me that I had to declare whether Buckerfields was a “producer” of printed paper or packaging material. If so, we would have to implement an “approved stewardship plan” to deal with the material. Otherwise we would have to join another “stewardship plan” and pay fees to that plan holder. I thought it was a scam. But I looked into it further and determined that there was indeed regulatory provisions in effect which stated this very thing and according to the regulations, Buckerfields is now a “producer” of printed paper and packaging material, with the best example being our Buckerfields feed bags. I then discussed the alternatives with a Ministry of Environment official and came to realize that we had no choice but to join the only approved stewardship plan in the province, Multi Material BC (MMBC). We signed the MMBC contract. But we also read it. And it stated that MMBC had to file audited financial statements on its website. I recently went to the website and there are no audited financial statements. Now, several months later, I have discovered the following: • MMBC is a corporation under the Societies Act comprised of three directors, two of whom live in Ontario. None of the directors have public sector credentials. All of the directors represent large corporate interests. • MMBC is not accountable to any government agency, appointed official, elected official or any other government body, other than the Registrar of Companies under the Societies Act. • MMBC is not governed by the province’s Financial Administration Act, which sets out the rules for the administration of all public monies. • None of the monies collected by MMBC, including the fees Buckerfields is supposed to pay, go to the public accounts of the province or any other government organization. • MMBC is not subject to oversight by the Auditor General of B.C.

• Under MMBC’s “stewardship plan,” as approved by the provincial government, MMBC has the authority to charge companies like Buckerfields unlimited fees based on whatever MMBC spends, regardless of what the actual costs are to recycle our feed bags and regardless of the fact that we already pay municipal taxes in all eight of our locations. • MMBC has the authority to come into any municipality in the province and offer financial incentives to the locally elected government to do what MMBC wants in the area of waste collection and recycling. If the locally-elected government refuses, MMBC has the authority to do what it wants anyway. • The municipal governments of the province do not know the background of MMBC and don’t yet realize the fees that MMBC is charging to Buckerfields and all the other companies amounts to double taxation. • The municipal governments are going to have to give up that tax base they have for waste collection and recycling because the shift to producers paying directly for waste collection and recycling eliminates the need and justification for taxpayers to pay for these services through the municipalities. • The provincial government did not consult with the municipal governments or the public, but companies like Buckerfields are pointing it out because until it is resolved, we are being taxed twice for the same service. Residential taxpayers (including me) are being taxed for something that someone else is actually paying for. • Taxpayers and municipal governments were not consulted as to whether they really want to shift the financing and control of municipal waste and recycling services out of the municipal jurisdiction, which is the jurisdiction of democratically-elected municipal officials, into the hands of a corporation under the Societies Act that is accountable to no one and is outside the jurisdiction of the provincial Auditor General. • Taxpayers and voters are unaware that

Curbside recycling in municipalities like Langley Township, where this photo was taken, is working just fine. Contributor Kelvin McCulloch has researched Multi Material B.C. and finds that it is accountable to no one, yet will cause job losses and disruption in the existing recycling system. the fees being charged by MMBC are so onerous that they will cause newspaper closures and job losses of 300 to 500 in the newspaper industry in B.C., even though recycled newsprint is actually very valuable. In finding all this out, I lament the fact that none of this was introduced into the legislature for proper debate

because it means that instead of spending my days managing the sale of chicks and garden supplies at Buckerfields, I have to spend my time trying to revive democratic processes in British Columbia, retroactively. I find it appalling. My position as of the time of this writing is we aren’t paying a dime to MMBC, and

neither should anyone else, until: • The provincial government reconciles what it is doing with municipal governments and municipal taxpayers, so taxpayers don’t have to pay twice. • The provincial government takes back legislation which calls us producers and “blames us” for the choices made by manufacturers

and indeed consumers that are completely outside of our control. • Any monies charged under the auspices of the recycling regulation are included in the public accounts of the province and subject to the provisions of the Financial Administration Act and the Auditor General Act. • Whatever is going to be done is introduced into the Legislative Assembly in the form of a bill, so that the proper public debate can occur. • Insofar as MMBC has not filed its audited financial statements since inception, and the period of time not reported spans more than two years, and insofar as MMBC is actually a taxing and funding agency, there be an independent public inquiry into the financial operations, sources and uses of funds, contractual procedures and expenditures of MMBC. No, Buckerfields is not paying a dime until this cash and power grab is unraveled and revealed for what it is. One final word — 96

per cent of all printed paper and packaging material is already being picked up or deposited into municipally-financed facilities. Despite what MMBC is saying, at least 53 per cent of that is already being recycled and it is very likely that that number was seriously understated to give the government a reason for the MMBC cash and power grab. In reality, there is no basis for setting up a recycling dictatorship and charging punitive fees to companies like Buckerfields at all. Recycling is a booming business with rapidly increasing prices of marketable commodities. Could that be why the board of MMBC is all big business and outside the jurisdiction of the Auditor General? We don’t have to change a thing to see recycling take off in B.C., in the hands of our elected municipal officials. We need to send the MMBC regime to the recycle bin. Kelvin McCulloch is CEO of Buckerfields, a farm and garden supply business in B.C.

ple Chevrolet pickup and a red Oldsmobile Cutlass. The warehouse is located in the 5700 block of Production Way. Police believe the thieves got in through an access door, where a lock was broken. Once inside, the three vehicles were broken into and parts, wheels

and gasoline were taken. If you have information that might assist police with this investigation, please call Langley RCMP at 604-5323200. Should you need to remain anonymous, please call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222TIPS.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT

GLCC Working Hard for Businesses

t our March Meeting the Board of Directors was informed that Past President Angie Quaale and Community Director Sharon Newbery have decided to put their names forward as candidates in the 2014 Municipal elections, and would therefore be stepping down from the Board. We thank them both for their dedication and contributions to the Board and wish them both success in their campaigns. During the past month we have been very busy: • We held a very successful Marketing Workshop, • Submitted resolutions for approval at the BC Chamber AGM in May - Return to 3 Year Funding - Reinstatement of the Business Vote - Airport-To-Airport Connector • Continue to work on the Succession Plan • Held four “Open House” events in Langley City, North Langley, South Langley and Aldergrove. The Open House events were very well attended by existing and potential members. We are focused on continuing to grow the membership and represent the voice of business. To be successful, we need to ensure our members are aware of the benefit programs available to them and the advocacy work being done by the Board on their behalf. We appreciate the opportunity to visit all four communities and thank our hosts in each community. The feedback from attendees indicates that they are better informed about the numerous activities at the municipal, regional, provincial and federal levels to eliminate red tape, promote the local economy and support the social welfare in Langley. The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce

is pleased with the amendments announced by the provincial government concerning recycling regulations. As a result of the BC Chambers working in partnership with government and Multi Media BC, the regulation has been re-tooled to achieve the environmental goals while protecting the vast majority of smaller businesses from significant new costs and red tape. There is more work to be done on this file to mitigate the impact on specific industry sectors. We will keep you informed on any progress we are able to achieve through the BC Chamber. We are also pleased to advise that Federal Minister of Public Safety’s office has confirmed that the Aldergrove Port Of Entry is being designed and built to have the capacity to be a full commercial processing facility when completed in 2016, and current plans include two commercial primary inspection lanes. Over 9 years ago there was a decision to close this port to commercial processing and there have been efforts since to reverse that decision. We wish to recognize the support and work done by our past board members and our Member of Parliament Mark Warawa. During the coming month the Board will be: • Making a call for nominations to form the 20142015 Board of Directors, • Introducing recommendations to change the bylaws to improve efficiencies We will be drafting our 2014/2015 budget and considering the impacts from our long term succession plans around additional staffing and potential new facility options. All of the changes will focus on being prepared to grow with the community and providing expanded services to improve business success. It is a very exciting time for the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce – we are very fortunate to have a Board of Directors who is very interested and willing to dedicate the time and effort required to work through the various stages of change.

• CASL applies to everyone—individuals, incorporated and unincorporated businesses, notfor-proÀt organizations, etc.—who sends electronic messages for commercial purposes. • Under CASL, electronic messages can include emails, SMS text messages, instant messages and messages sent through social networks. • CASL deÀnes a CEM as a message that encourages participation in a commercial activity. This includes advertisements and information about promotions, offers, business opportunities, events, etc. • Under CASL, consent is required before sending a CEM. Yet, an electronic message that is sent to obtain consent to send a message for commercial purposes is also considered a CEM. • Consent can either be express or implied. - Express consent means someone actively gave

you permission to send him/her a CEM. - Implied consent means it would be reasonable to conclude you have someone’s permission to send him/her a CEM based on prior relationships. Implied consent could also apply to someone who has conspicuously published his/her email address, say on a website. • To obtain express consent, you must: - Clearly describe the purposes for requesting consent; - Provide the name of the person seeking consent and identify on whose behalf consent is sought, if different; - Provide contact information (mailing address and either a phone number or an email address) of those parties seeking consent; and, - Indicate the recipient can unsubscribe. • Under CASL, you must be able to prove you have consent. • You must include the following in every CEM: - The name of the person sending the message, and identify on whose behalf the message is sent, if different; -Contact information (mailing addressing and either a phone number or an email address) of the senders; and, _ A mechanism that allows the recipient to easily unsubscribe at no cost. Courtesy of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce

Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) establishes rules for the sending of commercial electronic messages (CEMs) and the installation of computer programs. CASL also prohibits the unauthorized alteration of transmission data. The rules that apply to CEMs come into force on July 1, 2014 while the rules governing computer programs take effect Jan. 15, 2015, followed by the private right of action on July 1, 2017.

Fostering Strategic Thinking for the Leaders in Your Business Good leaders have many common characteristics. They are good communicators, strong motivators, have excellent interpersonal skills and inÁuence others to perform well. Another common trait is strategic thinking. Strategic thinking involves a broad, long-range approach to problem-solving and decisionmaking. Strategic thinkers are people who use objective analysis and plan ahead. They “think in multiple time frames,” not only envisioning the future with a “system-wide lens,” but also establishing systematic steps in order to successfully realize those long-term goals and the impact on all levels of an organization. Current research on the signiÀcance of strategic thinking in successful leadership is eye-opening. According to Robert Kabacoff, Ph.D, Vice President of Research at Management Research Group, “a strategic approach to leadership was, on average, 10 times more important to the perception of effectiveness than other behaviors studied. It was twice as important as communication (the second most important behavior) and almost 50 times more important than hands-on tactical behaviors.” If you were to foster more strategic thinking in your organization, how would you do it? Is it possible to strategically implement strategic thinking? Kabacoff is quick to point out that strategic thinking is not just a set of techniques or skills; it is a mindset. He offers several useful tips on how to incorporate a more strategic mindset into your everyday business practice in “Develop Strategic Thinkers Throughout Your Organization”: 1. Make it a regular occurrence. Don’t just have one or two major strategic planning sessions per year, make time for it regularly, alone and with others, so that planning becomes a consistent process. 2. Broaden discussion of business beyond the scope of day-to-day by including information about “the market, the industry, customers, competitors, and new technologies.” ‘Out-of-the-box’ and ‘big-picture’ thinking requires an intimate understanding of the underlying and overarching details that impact and inÁuence business.

3. Keep an ear to the ground. Know what’s happening throughout the organization and ensure that information is freely shared among different departments; “cross-functional teams can work on strategic organizational issues, and the results of their thinking and efforts should be published and shared throughout the organization.” 4. Encourage manager mentorship. A mentor is an incredible resource to help model the types of behavior and skills that you want to build in your team. Look for a mentor who embodies a strategic mindset and can offer advice on how to approach issues with objective analysis and systematic planning. 5. Have clear values and/or a mission statement for your organization. It is easier to focus your efforts in a strategic manner if guided by an overall organizational plan or vision. It also helps provide a broader context that helps inform planning and decision-making. 6. Reward an analytical approach that involves “anticipating opportunities and avoiding problems” rather than reactionary responses or crisis management. This will go a long way to fostering a change in mindset by emphasizing the value of thinking broadly and identifying solutions that take into consideration “the greatest long-term beneÀt for the organization.” 7. Train your team to ask “why” and “when” questions. Asking your team to think critically of a particular course of action will hold managers/leaders accountable for ensuring a strategic process underlies the decision made. “When a manager suggests course of action, their boss can ask them to consider what underlying strategic goal this action serves, and what the impact will be on internal and external stakeholders.” Leaders who epitomize strategic thinkers do so because they can take a long-term goal or intangible vision and make it a reality. It’s no easy task, but these tips will certainly help foster an environment in which strategic thinking can thrive. Carmen Morgan Writing on the Wall

Making (up) history R.E. MOUNTAIN SECONDARY’S IMPROV TEAM WILL BE TH E FIRST TO REPRESENT THE LANGLEY SCHOOL AT A NATIONAL COMPETITION IN OTTAWA THIS MONTH BR EN D A AND E R SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

The ability to think on your feet is crucial, of course. But add to that a willingness to make a complete fool of yourself, and you might just spin comedy gold. That’s exactly the mix it takes to succeed in the fast-paced world of improv theatre. Just ask the eight R.E. Mountain Secondary students in Gura Sidhu’s improvisation class, who will represent their school later this month in Ottawa at the Canadian Improv Games. Along with Vancouver’s Lord Byng Secondary, the Mountain improv team will fly the flag for British Columbia, as high school students from across Canada gather to compete for a national title. This is the first time in the Langley high school’s history that its improv team has advanced past provincial competition — punching their ticket to Ontario with a second place finish during a competition held last month at the Waterfront Theatre on Granville Island. Not that their predecessors hadn’t come close in the past — they had. Very close. A few times. The school’s third-place finish in 2003 was a particularly bitter pill to swallow for Sidhu. That group was exceptional, and deserved to win, he said. At the same time, the teacher acknowledged that judging art is a subjective practise. And this year’s top-2 finish was something of a redemption for that loss, he said. Once the results were in, Sidhu called all the members of the ’03 team to tell them the news.

“I told them, a little part of you is going to Ottawa with us.” Twenty teams, including Mountain, will face off in the nation’s capital from April 14 to 19, with the Langley students competing on the first night against schools from Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Manitoba and Alberta. The competition includes five categories: style (such as film noir or science fiction), a life scene, theme, story and character. Each team must perform four of the five events — life and theme are mandatory. In the event of a tie breaker they would be required to do the one they dropped. There are five keys to success in improv, explained Sidhu: Say yes as much as possible; use suggestions; try not to ask questions; don’t tell — show; and make offers. Finding the right combination of performers to play off each other is another crucial element. Continued Page 20

Mix of personality types key to success From Page 19

Mountain’s eight-member team is made up of four girls and four boys, all in either Grade 11 or Grade 12. Only one of them was a part of last year’s team; the rest are all brand new to improv. Among them is a wide range of personalities — from organizers to clowns. But the mix has worked. “There has been a good blend of players,” said Sidhu. “Everyone has a role — some are more prominent than others.” Common sense, intelligence, phenomenal listening skills are among the qualities that make a good improv player, he added. Another critical attribute is a willingness to take risks — “if I fall on my face, so what?” — said Sidhu. “I need one of you to jump out of that plane,” he tells his students, “and, hopefully, the parachute opens.” Among the theatrical skydivers who will play for Mountain this year in Ottawa is Sam Maj. For the Grade 12 student who’s been involved in drama since Grade 6 — the opportunity to spend more time on stage a large part of improv’s appeal. Last school year he wasn’t on the team, but he knew a few people who were. They were “cool, fun and outgoing,” he said. “They seemed to be up for anything and I wanted to be like that.” Still, getting to nationals for the first time in the school’s history is a big deal and it’s a fact that isn’t lost on Maj — even though it took a while for the news to sink in. It wasn’t until he was sitting in McDonald’s, eating ice cream that the magnitude of their success suddenly hit him.

This isn’t the first time Maj, 17, has made it to the national level of a competition. He’s also done it in sport. While waterskiing might not have much in common with improv, it has taught him how to deal with pressure. And the pressure is intense, he said. “With improv, you have to be perfect. Everything you say counts.” At the same time, said Maj, experience has also taught him to just relax and enjoy the moment. For Emma Horn, also in Grade 12, going to a national competition is brand new territory. But the 17-year-old, who took her first drama class as “the shyest” Grade 8 student, is looking forward to the camaraderie that comes with team competition. “I’m so excited to have all my best friends to go with to something like this.” Things weren’t quite so harmonious at the beginning, Horn notes. “It was a rough start to the year. “There’s a big mix of personalities,” she said. That led to a few disagreements and arguments before the team members sat down and hashed it out. “Most people on the team are on the side of relaxed and goofy. Others are more serious and keep us working. “The dynamics are opposites, but it works.” Once they knew they were on their way to Ottawa, the team went online to check out their competition “A few of us are kind of nervous about (the Newfoundlanders),” said Horn. “Everyone says they’re so funny.”

IT’S SHOWTIME! KAT GR AB OWS KI Trin ity Western U n iversity

SAMC students will perform two mid-week concerts, April 2 and April 9.

SAMC presents a pair of midweek musical escapes What is a classic? A Beethoven piano trio, a Kansas rock anthem, or a Duke Ellington toe-tapper? Decide for yourself at a pair of spring concerts at Trinity Western University. Music lovers of all ages will appreciate the wide variety of affordable entertainment on two consecutive Wednesdays: Chamber Music Night and Jazz Night, presented by TWU’s School of the Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC). On April 2, Chamber Music Night combines classical with cutting-edge. Beginning with Beethoven’s Piano Trio in E-flat, the program slides into the 20th century with popular music by SAMC’s three-piece acoustic guitar en-

semble, and lands in the 21st with the TWU New Music Project. The tenderness of Beethoven complements the mellow melodies of John Mayer and Jason Mraz, while the third ensemble brings the best of both worlds with contemporary classical music. The TWU New Music Project, an ensemble of strings, winds, and percussion, plays a fusion of groovy, colourful fare, including three new works by local student composers Rob Workman (Abbotsford) and Langley’s Vincent Clements. On April 9, Jazz Night hits all the right notes with vocal jazz and a pair of instrumental jazz combos. The vocalists scat their way

through Ira Gershwin and Louis Prima, crossing over to Billy Joel and even Earth, Wind, and Fire. Next, acoustic and electric jazz combos heat up the room with swing music from Ellington and his contemporaries, Herbie Hancock’s funky fusion beats, and the modern stylings of artists like Pat Metheny and Freddie Hubbard. Chamber Music Night and Jazz Night are presented as part of SAMC’s fifth annual Festival of the Arts, Media + Culture. Both concerts are held in the Instrumental Music Hall on campus at 7:30 p.m. with admission by donation ($5 suggested). For more info, visit www.twu. ca/samc or phone 604-5132173.

Among the performers advancing from the March 29 semifinal competition are Jet Tangerine and Hugh Barbour, a bouncy and colourful musical duo who kicked off the night with an uptempo performance of Train’s Hey Soul Sister. Aerial acrobat Alexandra Susheski wowed the crowd with a routine that found her swinging on, in around and through a ring suspended above the stage at Christian Life Assembly.

Also selected to move on: Kathleen and Jesse — singers Joshua Goodman — rapper Kaitlin Hartwig — dancer Michaela Mulder — singer Paige McLachlan — dancer Quinn and Tonic — rock band Rachel Dunn and Colson Kinna — singing/guitar Sisters Jazmine and Amanda Langset, who won over the crowd with the foot-stompin’ country tune, Better Dig Two by The Band Perry, advanced through the audience vote.

Hound of the Baskervilles sure to tickle the funny bone LANGLEY’S ELLIE KING SPOOFS A SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE CLASSIC Langley’s Ellie King has been busy teaching an old dog a few hilarious new tricks. King, in conjunction with Bad Dog Productions is remounting a Western Canadian exclusive production of The Hound of the Baskervilles at Vancouver’s Studio 1398 on Granville Island, from Tuesday, April 22 until Saturday, May 3. Directed by King, the spoof of the classic Sherlock Holmes story is billed as a challenging piece of theatre filled with lightning fast changes of character, scenery, and costume. “The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of the most famous detective stories ever told,” said King. The noble Baskerville family is threatened by a curse: “a great, black beast larger than any hound that ever mortal eye has rested upon” terrorizes and kills any family member who comes to live at the Baskerville estate. Into this atmosphere of lonely moors, ancient secrets, deadly threats, and ghostly apparitions comes the supremely rational Sherlock Holmes — a man described by his friend Watson as “the most perfect reasoning and observing

machine the world has ever seen.” Piece by piece, Holmes and Watson solve the mystery and find the culprit. “This version of ‘The Hound’ while being immensely entertaining and very funny, nonetheless stays very close to the original plot,” said King. “Expect thrills, chills and side-splitting comedy.” Tickets for The Hound of the Baskervilles are available online at sherlockholmes.bpt.me, by phone at 1-800-838-3996, or in person (one hour prior to curtain only) at Studio 1398, which is located on Granville Island at 1398 Cartwright St. Ticket prices and performance times are as follows: April 22-24 at 8 p.m. Preview performances: $15 Student Rush tickets: $10 (with a valid student ID) April 25, 26, 30 and May 1 to 3 at 8 p.m. April 26 and May 3 at 3 p.m. Adult admission: $25 Over 60 and under 14: $20 School matinees are April 30 and May 1 at 1 p.m. School/group booking: $10 (one complimentary ticket per 10 purchased).

Kids help kids through the art of musical theatre Children and youth performers from Langley Stagecoach Theatre Arts School recently lit up the stage of Vancouver's prestigious Queen Elizabeth Theatre, all for an important cause – Kidsafe. More than 450 Stagecoach students aged six to 19 years took to the stage at the QE for an afternoon of Musical

Student performers arrived from 12 StageCoach schools from across the Lower Mainland to perform together in their first Charity Showcase benefiting KidSafe. KidSafe provides support, safety, programming and nutritious meals for vulnerable youth, as well

as positive activity alternatives. StageCoach Langley Principal Kim Stordy said, “Support came from across the Lower Mainland community, making this a memorable experience for all. Students gave a spectacular show – exceeding all expectations – bringing forth success and paying it forward to our community. The positive feedback has been heart warming and we’re ready to do it again next year.”

Also featured is Steve Maddock as Daddy Warbucks and Julia MacLean as Annie — plus lots of orphans and dogs. Also among the cast are two Langley actresses, Jackie Block and Kaitie Allinger. They each play members of the Boylan Sisters — singers on a NYC radio show, who hope to become famous someday.

What better way for a theatre to celebrate a landmark anniversary than with a big, bold musical worthy of Broadway? Royal City Musical Theatre celebrates its 25th anniversary with a production of the hit musical Annie at the Massey Theatre this month. The tale of a spunky redheaded orphan who goes looking for her parents — whom she believes are still alive — and instead finds big adventures in New York City, begins with previews on April 10 and 11, and opens on Saturday, April 12. In true RCMT tradition, Annie will be a “big Broadway show” — meaning it will have a full orchestra in the pit, dynamic costumes and sets, great choreography, and a big talented cast who bring the show to life under

Stealth slow Bandits, snap losing skid VAN COUVER GETS MUCH-NEEDED WIN TO STAY ALIVE IN RACE FOR FINAL PLAYOFF SPOT IN NLL WEST DIVISION G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Spo r ts

Like most sports, for sustained success, a team needs its big guns to deliver. For the first time in his 12-year professional career, Lewis Ratcliff was a healthy scratch a few games ago for the Vancouver Stealth. But Ratcliff returned to the Stealth lineup on March 21 and responded with a sixpoint night in a 13-8 loss to the Calgary Roughnecks in National Lacrosse League action. And then this past Saturday at the Langley Events Centre, Ratcliff had another monster game with two goals and six assists as the Stealth beat the Buffalo Bandits 12-8. It was just Vancouver’s second win in the past 10 games as they improved to 4-9, and a half-game behind the 5-9 Colorado Mammoth for the final playoff spot in the NLL’s West Division. The Stealth have five games to play while Colorado had four to go. “That was what we needed out of Lewis,” said Stealth coach Chris Hall, on Monday. Ratcliff had been averaging three points per game over the season’s first 10 games and the coach said top players in the league need to be in the five to six points per game range. And while Ratcliff was trying whatever he could to break out offensively with his team mired in a losing stretch, nothing seemed to be working. “Sometimes no matter what you try, it just doesn’t work and ultimately, just sitting down and watching can trigger and motivate you a little bit more,” Hall explained. And with Ratcliff returning to form, that opened things up for the team’s leading scorer, Rhys Duch, who responded with four goals and nine points in the win over the Bandits. “Superstars have got to play like superstars and we got another great game out of Rhys,” Hall said. “Having them perform at the level they are capable of performing has obviously been a huge help for us.”

Vancouver Stealth’s Ilja Gajic (right) defends against Buffalo Bandits’ Jamie Rooney during the Stealth’s 12-8 victory in National Lacrosse League action at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday night.

Against Buffalo, the Stealth did something they have not been capable over the past little while — get off to a fast start as Duch struck 19 seconds in. “Too often this season we haven’t been aggressive enough early on,” Hall said. “We talked about getting some good shots early and being aggressive and we were successful with that.” The game was tied at three after one quarter, but Vancouver was ahead 9-5 at the half and Buffalo never got within three goals in the second half. The Stealth fired a whopping 21 shots on Bandits goalie Anthony Cosmo in the opening quarter alone and finished with a 61-43 advantage. Hall said there were several factors in the team’s improved performance. One was having a settled line-up, anoth-

er was an effective power play — it went 5-for-11 — and then there was great goaltending from Tyler Richards, who stopped 35 of 43 shots, an .814 save percentage, which is well above his save percentage heading into the game (.765). Hall feels they will build on this game as the regular season hits the final month. “I think there was a psychological barrier,” he said about the team’s losing skid. The Stealth were 2-2 back in January and leading the unbeaten Edmonton Rush 7-1 at home. But the Rush rallied to win that game 9-8. “I think that was a bit of a defining moment in our season psychologically,” he said. “That was a tough loss and after that, we struggled for a long time for a long time.” The Bandits fell to 8-5 with the loss to

Vancouver and sit one game behind Rochester for top spot in the East Division. The Stealth host the Toronto Rock — who boast the league’s leading scorer in Langley’s Garrett Billings — on Saturday night (April 5) at the LEC. Game time is 7 p.m. ••••• In addition to Duch’s nine points and Ratcliff’s eight points, Tyler Digby had four assists while Brett Bucktooth had two goals and two assists. Cliff Smith also chipped in with a pair of goals and Nick Weiss and Jamie Lincoln scored once apiece. The Bandits were led by one goal and two assists apiece from Mark Steenhuis, Steve Priola and Shawn Williams. Lacrosse legend John Tavares had one goal and one assist for the Buffalo visitors.

More than $13,000 raised in fight against cancer Vancouver Stealth owner Denise Watkins, has been a long time promoter of the fight against cancer, after having dealt with the disease in her family for many years, “My mom is a 30 year breast cancer survivor and my sister is an eight year breast cancer survivor so obviously for the women’s health side of things it makes it a very big thing for our family personally. And it puts me in a very high risk category,” said Watkins. “So that brings it a little closer

to home, as you may imagine.” At the team’s home game on Saturday night, a 12-8 victory over the visiting Buffalo Bandits at the Langley Events Centre, the Stealth organization raised $13,365 as part of their Lacrosse Fights Cancer Night. The Stealth wore limited edition pink and grey jerseys that fans had the opportunity to bid on. The proceeds are being donated to the Canadian Cancer Society. “My husband and father are

also prostate cancer survivors, so for me the importance is in early detection,” said Watkins. “Cancer can be treatable and is survivable. A number of people don’t get their checkups, don’t get their PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) tests, or their mammograms, and by the time they’ve found it, it’s already significantly farther along and harder to treat.” “Every aspect of fighting this disease is important. From promoting screenings, improving the tests we have, finding better

treatments, all of those things can help make cancer more survivable.” Watkins admits there are numerous other diseases and that no one disease is more important than the other, but when something like cancer affects your family the way it affected her own family, it’s not surprising to hear her speak so strongly about it, “There’s just something about cancer, like when people get diagnosed with cancer, it’s the big ‘C’.

It’s harder to deal with for some reason than other diseases,” said Watkins. “Because there are so many forms of cancer that are really so easily treatable I think that’s why the focus needs to be on awareness. People have to better understand the disease and the benefits of screening. “They’re not painful, there not difficult, and not overly expensive. If you get them done you significantly improve your chances of surviving.”

Cyclists embark on a training race on March 22 from the Thunderbird Equestrian Show Park. The race, 30 to 130 kilometres depending on skill level, is part of the Escape Velocity Spring Series of training races, which serve as a grass roots launching pad for Lower Mainland road cyclists looking to enter into international competition. For more information, visit www.escapevelocity.bc.ca.

All three levels of lacrosse in Langley — intermediate, junior A and senior A — have consolidated under one management group, the Thunder Lacrosse Club. The Thunder Lacrosse Club, a notfor-profit society run by president Ken Buchan and vice-president Rob Buchan, received league approval on March 4 from the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League’s board of governors. The move was made to try and create a strong synergy through the different levels of lacrosse as well as the Langley Events Centre. “It is easier to get sponsorship when you have 30 home dates instead of 10,” said Ken Buchan, adding that it was a mutual agreement for the three levels to come under the one umbrella. The two lower levels will adopt the senior Thunder logo as part of the change. The Buchan family has owned the senior A Thunder since 1999 and are well entrenched in the sport both locally and through the Lower Mainland.

Four helping B.C. go for gold

The intermediate level is for players ages 16 and 17 while junior is for those 18 to 21. Senior is for 22 and above. The Thunder also announced who will oversee the operations of the two teams. Ken Buchan will serve as president and governor of both the junior and intermediate teams while Rob Buchan will be general manager. Ryan Williams will be the assistant general manager and director of scouting for both and Nauja Winkler is the assistant general manager for both and the team manager for the junior team. The junior team’s coaching staff will be Shaun Springett as head coach and A.J. Smith as defensive coach and Alex Turner as offensive coach. Gary Porter will be equipment manager, Kevin Mykle will be a director and work on special projects and Jannelle Smithson is the head trainer. Curtis Guliford will be head coach for the intermediate team and Sean Messenger and Dylan Quinn will serve as his assistants.

Four Langley ringette players are helping Team B.C. go for the gold. Goaltender Sarah MacDonald, defenceman Tiana Ollive, and forwards Rebecca Young and Shaylyn Campbell are on the 17-player U16 Team B.C. roster. They will be representing their province at the 2014 Canadian ringette championships, which get underway on Sunday (April 6) in Regina. The tournament runs until April 12.

Alexander Donald (Scotty)

MacAskill

Was born August 7, 1927 in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, he passed away Sunday March 23, 2014 at Langley Memorial Hospital. Son of Margaret Aird and Daniel MacAskill, both of whom emigrated from Scotland around the turn of the century. He is survived by sons Don, Doug, Dan (Jeannie) and Garrett and grand-daughter Katie. Scotty grew up in Glaslyn, Saskatchewan and later went to Luther College in Regina, Saskatchewan making a host of friends. His father managed and later owned a lumber yard business that Scotty helped out at during his teen years. He trained for the Canadian military as a young cadet when the Second World War was drawing to a close. As a young man he enjoyed many outdoor past times such as skating, hunting, fishing and hiking as well as indoor boxing. Scotty had a creative side too playing piano and later on wrote many short stories although he never published. One of his loves was learning the history of British Columbia and the southwestern United States; as a collector he was keenly interested in the personal stories revealed in the gold rush times as well as First Nations history. In 1958 he married Shirley Ann McIntyre and they raised four sons in Trail, BC and later the Lower Mainland. He completed a Bachelor of Chemistry prior to studying medicine at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg; he also was accepted to Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia as a senior resident physician. Scotty was one of six students permitted to intern at Vancouver General Hospital and also served at Shaughnessy Hospital. He practiced medicine as a doctor of opthalmology throughout British Columbia and treated thousands of patients over his 45 year career retiring in 2003. Scotty practised medicine in traditional fashion, taking the time to get to know his patients on a personal basis. His career spanned many BC towns and cities: Trail, Chilliwack, Westbank and Nanaimo. In 1980 he moved his practice to Langley and met many hundreds of local residents over his last 33 years as a doctor, treating three generations of some families. Scotty was an avid downhill skiier in British Columbia as well as Colorado, Maine and California. He enjoyed the thrill of helicopter skiing in fresh powder snow in the Bugaboo Mountains and elsewhere. He set many personal challenges for himself such as fire-walking in his 60s; he stayed fit and went to the gym well into retirement years. He was known to close friends as "Scotty" or just "The Doc". Scotty made a lasting mark on the world around him and lived life as fully and actively as he could. For decades he sponsored children through World Vision and contributed to the Leprosy Misson Canada. He will be missed by many. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. The family invites all who knew Scotty to attend a memorial service to be held on April 5th at 2pm at Sharon United Church 21562 Old Yale Road, Langley in the chapel.
