Langley woman celebrates 110 years ANNA NIELSEN AMONG B.C.’S OLDEST RESIDENTS MONIQUE TA MMING A Time s Re po rte r
MONIQUE TAMMINGA L an gley Tim es
Anna Nielsen celebrated her 110th birthday on Thursday with her daughter Luna Hepperle at Langley Gardens Retirement Centre where she lives.
Anna Nielsen lived through two World Wars, the Great Depression, women getting the right to vote, the invention of planes and cars, and the Internet too. And on Thursday, Nielsen celebrated being one of the oldest people in Canada, at 110 years old. The oldest person in B.C. is believed to be 113. Nielsen’s birthday party was held at Langley Gardens Retirement Centre, where she lives. She was treated to a musician singing, cake and friends
and family visiting. She doesn’t speak very often these days, but staff and her daughter say she is still giving out lots of hugs and kisses. “She loves babies. She’s very loving. She’s constantly kissing me,” smiled her daughter Luna Hepperle. Born in 1904 in Denmark, Nielsen married and had one child there before moving to New Brunswick in 1920. She came out to B.C. in 1944. She has five daughters and one son, who has since died. Continued Page 4

Volunteers honoured for building community L AN GL EY TO W NS HIP HONOUR S PEOPLE WHO GIVE B A C K — A L O T On Thursday, April 3, outstanding Langley Township volunteers were recognized at Township council’s annual volunteer appreciation event. Hundreds of community members gathered at the Langley Events Centre as Langley’s dedicated volunteers were honoured with dinner, presentations, and entertainment. During the celebration, a hard-working individual, a high-achieving student, and a committed couple were presented with awards for their outstanding efforts. The Eric Flowerdew Volunteer Award is presented annually to recognize contributions that volunteers make to the community. It honours an individual’s outstanding dedication to the promotion of quality of life through creative, cultural, physical, or social pursuits, and to the enhancement of the Township of Langley’s community spirit. Eric Flowerdew was a school trustee, municipal councillor, and member of the Langley Hospital Board. As parks and recreation commissioner, he was instrumental in establishing the initial parks and recreation budget and in hiring Pete Swensson as the Township’s first recreation director. His commitment to volunteerism was unfailing, and in 1974 the Flowerdew family honoured his name with the award. The Pete Swensson Outstanding Community Youth Award is given to a Langley student in Grade 11 or 12, from one of the area’s secondary schools, in recognition of his or her athletic, scholastic, and community efforts. Personal qualities such as leadership, work ethic, and initiative play a major role in the evaluation process. Pete Swensson was an internationally recognized athlete and photographer, and an outstanding member of the Langley community. The Township of Langley’s first recreation director, he was the originator of the Langley Walk. Swensson was committed to the overall development of youth, and this award is named in his honour. The John and Muriel Arnason Award honours two people who are advocates of literacy, culture, and learning, and work together as a team to make the Township of Langley a better place.
The award was created in memory of Muriel Arnason, the first woman to be elected to Township council, and her husband, John. Muriel, who was made Freewoman of the Township in 2006, served on council for 26 years, and was fully supported by her husband in her political pursuits, as well as in her initiatives to foster the arts, education, and literacy. The 2013 Eric Flowerdew Volunteer Award was won by Karen Long. The Pete Swensson Award went to Hannah Beaton and the John and Muriel Arnason Award went to Glenn Howes and Colleen MacIntosh. Nominees for the 2013 Eric Flowerdew award were: Karen Long, Jim McGregor, Steve Trummler and Cheryl Young. Long, a long-time resident of Aldergrove, is quietly dedicated to making a big difference in her community. In fact, there are very few activities or events that happen in Aldergrove that she hasn’t contributed to in some way. For many years, she has served on the executive of the Aldergrove Festival Days Society and the Aldergrove Agricultural Association, organizing fairs and parades to educate and entertain the community. A member of the Rotary Club of Aldergrove, she exemplifies the motto “Service Above Self,” helping the group raise money for a women’s shelter, clean up and beautify downtown Aldergrove, raise funds for Langley Centennial Museum student programs, and partner with the Township of Langley Fire Department to install smoke detectors in the Aldergrove Mobile Home Park. An integral force behind the Aldergrove Christmas Parade, she can be found manning a kettle for the Salvation Army during the holidays. An advocate of Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services’ programs, she is also a huge part of the success of our local Walk for Memories, which has raised almost $100,000 for the Alzheimer Society. She is also a long-time member of the Aldergrove Legion who serves as chair of the branch’s internal auditing committee. She helps secure donations for community dinners for families at Thanksgiving, Easter, and Christmas, participates in an annual Terry Fox barbecue fundraiser, and works with Rotary to provide food and gifts for Aldergrove families who are struggling at Christmastime. Nominees for the 2014 Pete Swensson Outstanding Community Youth Award were: Georgie Antle of D.W. Poppy Secondary School; Hannah Beaton of Langley Fundamental Middle and Secondary School; Aidan Kits of Langley Christian School; Julianna Matson of Walnut Grove Secondary School; Brian Portner of R.E. Mountain Secondary School; Michael Pratt of Brookswood Secondary School; Devon Stam of Credo Christian High School and Amy Whitton of Aldergrove Community Secondary School. Beaton is an accomplished track and field athlete. She can usually be found in her La ng ley Tow nship p hoto running shoes – or supplying them to those in need. A Grade Karen Long, an active volunteer in numerous organizations 12 student at Langley Fundain Aldergrove, won the Eric Flowerdew Trophy for her many mental Middle and Secondary community activities.

Colleen MacIntosh and Glenn Howes were named winners of the John and Muriel Arnason Trophy on Thursday night, given annually to two people who work together as a team to make the Township of Langley a better place. In Someone Else’s Shoes” program three years ago to provide inner city schools with footwear. A member of student council and a youth leader, she also established family sports night to promote play and strengthen family ties. An athlete who shines in soccer, volleyball, and track and field, she holds a record with the Langley Mustangs for youth shot put, was named fifth in Canada for heptathlon and fourth for javelin, and holds several track and field records at her high school. A Leadership and Principal’s Award-winner for outstanding effort and work habits, she has earned an “A” honour roll award each term. For more on her achievements, see story page 25. Nominees for the 2013 John and Muriel Arnason Award were: Cheryl MacIntosh and Glenn Howes, Michael Jackstien and Jamey Paterson and Jordan and Shelly Welch. MacIntosh and Howes, a Glen Valley couple, have made many contributions to ensure that North Langley is a better and healthier place to live. For 12 years, the pair has been dedicated to the Fort Langley Canoe Club. MacIntosh began as a voyageur paddler then became a leader and coach, encouraging the group to try dragon boat paddling. Interest grew. She has chaired the board since 2009, and the club grew to more than 500 members. That meant more boats, docks, and storage space was needed. Howes became the key person for getting the docks upgraded, leading working groups through planning, design, and physical labour. The couple also lends their leadership
qualities to local environmental groups. Howes is the chair of the Glen Valley Watershed Society and MacIntosh was the treasurer. She has also been secretary, treasurer, and chair of the Derby Reach/Brae Island Parks Association. Howes is one of the association’s most diligent members and turns out in all kinds of weather to pull weeds and conduct tours as part of the association’s goal to promote conservation and education. Beyond running many meetings, the pair has opened up their home for work parties and lunches for events such as the annual Bird Count. They participate in Rivers Week, the Cranberry Festival, and the annual Brigade Days journey and arrival at the Fort Langley National Historic Site. They help protect the environment by doing everything from planting trees and sampling and analyzing stream water to talking to neighbours about issues, and keep many kilometres of Glen Valley roads clean and collect numerous bags of garbage through the Township’s Adopt-AStreet program. “We are really fortunate in this community to have so many people willing to volunteer their time to make life better for others,” said Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese. “This event is a wonderful opportunity to thank those who give so much to Langley. Our community wouldn’t be the same without them.” Froese presented the awards along with co-emcee Meghan Cheung, a Grade 12 honour student from Brookswood Senior Secondary who has been a member of Langley Township’s Youth Advisory Council since 2011.

You & The Law Neighbours rally to support
PRESENTS Buyer – if in doubt, get an inspection You’ve found a house that looks in reasonable shape, in a great location and on a sizable property. You’re thinking of getting a home inspection done, just to be safe. But your agent, who also listed the house for the sellers, talks you out of it. He tells you that an inspection was done fairly recently, and the only real problem was the under-sized furnace. So you save your money and buy the house without insisting on getting a satisfactory inspection report.
lems. The result was that, in his eagerness to close a sale, he told a half-truth, hiding critical information that might have led the Browns to make the house purchase conditional on a house inspection, as they were thinking of doing.
Then after you move in, you find that there are moisture, mildew and mould problems. You do some of the repairs yourself but you also have to get different inspection services to go through and report on the problems and estimated costs to fix them. But the more you look, the more such problems you find throughout the house. So you end up moving out altogether for health reasons – one of your daughters is beginning to have respiratory problems. To recoup some of the repair costs, you are forced to sue the agent and his firm, as well as the sellers. That was pretty much the situation faced by the Browns (all names changed) when they bought from the Smiths with the “help” of the realtor, Robert. In court, it turned out that Robert had been told by another realtor in his office that a previous offer had fallen through because of mould problems disclosed by a house inspection. After that, the sellers made the recommended repairs, so didn’t think there should be any further mildew problems.
In the end, the court decided that the Browns were entitled to compensation from Robert and his firm of some $47,000. $38,000 of this was to reflect what the house would have been worth had the hidden mould and mildew issues been known, based on their estimated repair costs. $10,000 was in compensation for the psychological and emotional problems suffered by the Browns, in particular the wife who became clinically depressed as a result of all the house problems. Had the Browns obtained an inspection, it likely would not have found all the mildew and mould problems that were later discovered by moving heavy appliances (washer and dryer) and cutting into various walls and floors in the house – they were “latent defects” that could not have been discovered by such an inspection. But the inspection might well have discovered signs or symptoms such as surface mildew that would have suggested a more thorough investigation. The opportunity to discover these problems was lost by the realtor talking the Browns out of getting an inspection performed.
than 24 hours after Richard’s estranged wife, her daughter and son escaped from their burning home, RCMP received a call of an erratic, and possibly impaired, driver near Fernie — 30 minutes from the Alberta border. The witness followed the suspect until the vehicle — a grey Saturn SUV — came to a stop. The driver exited the vehicle and ran into bushes at the side of the road, said police. A crisis negotiator was called to the scene and local police arrived. After some time, Richard was taken into custody without further incident. Continued Page 5
Wonderful mom gave great advice From Page 1
She has so many great-great, great and grandchildren, she can’t keep track. Her husband passed away in 1989, after the pair had been married for more than 60 years. While she spent many years
as a stay at home mother, she also worked cleaning many Vancouver buildings, like the Orpheum. Hepperle said she isn’t sure what her mom’s secret to a long life is. “She ate porridge every morning, she wasn’t a drinker.
“She was always busy. She is the only woman I know who washed the walls twice a month.” She is also known to have a kind heart. “She is a wonderful mom who always had great advice for us,” she said.

Family friend Lisa said the Wakefield neighbourhood is rallying together to find ways to support the family. They lost everything in the fire, including mementos, clothing, furniture and will struggle financially, she said. Meanwhile, Andre Harvey Richard, 44, made his first court appearance in Surrey Provincial Court on Monday, facing 13 criminal charges including three counts of attempted murder, as well as charges of arson and break and enter. In addition, he faces four counts of assault with a weapon — involving two victims, each allegedly assaulted with
two different weapons, and two counts each of assault causing bodily harm as well as breaching a no contact order with his ex-wife. “This was a tragic event which, thankfully, now has a successful conclusion,” said Langley RCMP Supt. Derek Cooke. “I would like to express my thanks for the role played by the media, the general public and in particular the individual who brought Richard to police attention.” Richard is accused of trying to kill his estranged wife and her two children by setting fire to the Wakefield Drive home in which they were sleeping on April 2.

The manhunt had begun early Wednesday morning, after it was determined that Richard wasn’t in the charred remains of the house. Police released a picture of Richard and issued an arrest warrant for him. The Langley man is accused of going to his wife’s home around 1 a.m. and setting fire to it, before entering her bedroom and assaulting her with a pair of weapons. When the 14-year-old daughter tried to intervene, police say she was also assaulted. The three victims, including the eight-year-old son, managed to escape the burning home and fled to a neighbour’s house, where 911 was called. Police and Township fire crews arrived to find flames shooting through the windows and roof. The house was destroyed in the blaze. The victims were all taken to hospital, where the mother remained in stable condition as of Friday. She is now out of hospital. They are now looking for somewhere to rent. “Any amount of donations would gladly be accepted to help pay for housing, furnishings, clothing and any other possessions lost in the fire,” writes McShane on the fundraising page.

Two overpasses are done DA N FERGU SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r
Two of the three “combo project” overpasses under construction in the Langleys and surrounding area are all but finished, while the third should be done by the end of July, according to a memo from the Township of Langley engineering division to council. “Both the 196 Street and 54 Avenue overpasses have been substantially completed,” the unsigned March 28 document states. But no date for an official opening to traffic has been set, the memo adds, noting the timing is up to the City of Surrey as the “project delivery agent” and the provincial ministry of transportation. “Factors being considered include the completion of the connecting road network with the City of Langley and City of Surrey, as well as the completion of the 192 Street Overpass [expected on] July 31,” the memo goes on to say. Work on the final stages of the 196 Street overpass project will mean evening shutdowns of Fraser Highway at Willowbrook Drive, Willowbrook Drive at 196 Street and 64 Avenue at 196 Street until the end of April. The three “combo” overpasses in Langley and Surrey involve crossing of the railway tracks

The 196 Street overpass crosses Langley Bypass as well as the railway tracks, and is substantially complete. at 192 Street, 54 Avenue and 196 Street. They are part of the $307 million Roberts Bank Rail Corridor project to reduce congestion and the potential for vehicle collisions by building overpasses and directing commuters away from level crossings. As well as the combo project, there is also the Glover Road/ Mufford Crescent project, which is still under construction, and the 232 Street crossing north of Highway 1, which opened to traffic last month.
The Roberts Bank Rail Corridor currently carries up to 18 trains a day, ranging from 6,000 to 9,500 feet in length. That is expected to become up to 38 trains daily by 2021 with some trains as long as 12,000 feet. The corridor has about 66 rail crossings, including 12 overpasses, 38 public level crossings, and 16 private level crossings. About 388,000 vehicles cross the tracks every day, a number expected to rise to 560,000 by 2021.

NDP navel-gazing
we
Published Tuesday and Thursday at 20258 Fraser Highway, Langley, B.C., V3A 4E6 by Black Press Ltd. Sales agreement No. 3298280. Contents copyright of Black Press.
Mike Harcourt was probably too nice a guy to become premier of B.C., especially as the first leader of the NDP to win power after the fondly-remembered (by NDPers, at least) Dave Barrett government of 1972-1975. The Barrett government was the first NDP government to ever take power in B.C., after being in opposition as the CCF and NDP for almost 40 years. Harcourt led the party back to power after 16 years in the wilderness. He had earlier served as mayor of Vancouver. He styled himself “Moderate Mike,” a fairly accurate label, as he tended to try and make as many people happy as possible, and not bash business quite as much as some of his colleagues were prone to do. However, he fell victim to the endless plotting that seems to be part of the NDP’s DNA. Barrett had taken over after Tom Berger failed to win power in 1969, in an election the NDP were sure they could win. Barrett was then knifed by labour allies in his last year in power. Harcourt was under pressure over the Nanaimo Commonwealth Holding Society, an NDP-controlled organiztion involved in many questionable financial moves. He had nothing to do with it, but the fact that it came out on his watch caused some of his cabinet, notably Moe Sihota, Joan Smallwood and Glen Clark, to go after him. Despite the shoddy way he was treated, he remained a member of the NDP and campaigned regularly for them. In January, he decided not to renew his membership, a fact made known earlier this week. It received a lot of media attention, not surprisingly, given the fact that he endorsed Adrian Dix’s campaign less than a year ago. Harcourt said the Kinder Morgan flip-flop, attack on Carole James’ leadership (do we detect a pattern here?) and NDP fight against the carbon tax in 2009 caused him to not bother paying his dues this year. Those are reasonable doubts, and his action will cause many within the NDP to ponder just where their party is headed, as it undergoes its second leadership campaign in three years.

Question langeytimes.com
of the week
Should fines and other penalties for distracted driving be increased substantially?
Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
Entitlement culture they
Most political fiascoes fade away. Proroguing parliament can hurry it along. Or, in the case of B.C. politics, simply announce you’re not sitting for, oh, most of the session seems to do the trick. But there’s a different kind of storm brewing, one that governments can’t seem to spin off the table and out of public scrutiny. It’s the Culture of Entitlement storm. It seems to go hand-in-hand with being one of the upper echelon these days. It has an impressive list of honourary (not honourable) members, and includes the likes of Linda Reid, Jenny Kwan, Alison Redford, Mac Harb, Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin, Patrick Brazeau, and Bev Oda (remember the orange juice?). And ... and ... and .... The list sure gets long. So, what is a politician to do? Especially when your own party members (and in all likelihood yourself) are ensnared in the Culture of Entitlement. If the voting public in B.C. is looking to the party of opposition for leadership by example, they won’t find it. One of their own got caught benefitting from the proceeds of the public purse. So Adrian Dix appears to be content with mumbling about Jenny Kwan’s “right decision” and ducking the issue. Probably in the hopes that this storm, too, will pass. This tactic-of-old may have once been a good one. Any politician worth her salt knows that elephants never forget, but voters sure as heck do. But this storm is one of epic proportions, and it’s being fed from multiple sources. Politicians. Crown corporations. Executive officers. Banks. Telecommunication companies. Multinationals. The list goes on. And because the reference base comes from almost anywhere amongst the membership of the one per cent club, and because there really is no singular supreme leader (that we know of), the spin is not really controllable. It is time for those in positions of power, in the name of democracy, to begin again. But this time, instead of focusing on entitlement, how about focusing on genuine integrity and honour? — Sooke News Mirror

Mortgage payoff was a pleasant surprise Editor: On behalf of the Langley Senior Resources Society, we would like to thank the City of Langley for their generous contribution to the Langley Senior Resources Society. For the past 20 years, we have been grateful for the City’s annual contribution to help with the ongoing costs associated with running the centre, and in particular, assistance in paying down our mortgage. We were pleased, but somewhat surprised, by the motion put forward at the December council meeting to pay off the existing mortgage early so that we will not have that cost to incur past 2014. Many people associate a mortgage being paid off with all of the debt, funding concerns and operational cost pressures disappearing. Unfortunately, this is not true in our case, because of the growing demographic of seniors in the Langley area, and an increasing membership looking to us to provide much-needed services that are not available from the City or Township of Langley. Financially, we continue to struggle on a monthly basis as the costs to run our services continues to increase. Al-
though we receive grants for specific programs such as Better at Home or our Adult Day Program, funding for operational issues such as heat, light, maintenance and repairs is much more difficult to acquire. Along with general operational concerns, we also have to plan for the fact that our 20-year-old building and its equipment is in need of repairs, updating and ultimately replacement. Hence, we will have an ongoing need to rely on our members and the community for sponsorship and donations to help us continue to provide vital programs and services for the seniors of Langley, and the operation of the Seniors Centre, as we go forward. Once again, we would like to say thank you to the City of Langley for the past support and commitment. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the City to ensure a mutually beneficial quality of life is assured for all the seniors in Langley. SHAUNA SAILER, CHAIR, BARB STACK, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, LANGLEY SENIOR RESOURCES SOCIETY
Township was held to account Editor: I created both the “Leave Brookswood Alone” Facebook page and blog in September 2012. I did so to alleviate frustration over the Township’s efforts to turn Brookswood into another Willoughby (with all due respect to the Willoughby residents). When I attended the original so-called “workshop” meeting the Township set up for Brookswood residents, the high-density agenda was immediately apparent when the Township’s AECOM (U.S.-based architecture, engineering, consulting, operations and maintenance) consultant declared in a convincing tone that density “was good for the aquifer” and then had the 400-plus residents form into groups to work on a set of prescribed questions, like we were still in elementary school. The subsequent workshops continued in the same vein and without being honest and direct. It was heartening when people responded and started to push back against this horrifying agenda, taking action to protect their commu-
nity. This brought about change. The concerned residents of Brookswood held the Township of Langley government to account and reminded the government that it is here to serve Langley residents, not developers or speculators, many (perhaps most)of whom don’t live here. Thank you to the Township council for doing the right thing in ultimately choosing not to proceed with a questionable, flawed high-density development plan for Brookswood. Finally, thank you to the passionate people of Brookswood/Fernridge and Langley, especially Anna, Ken, Leila, Scott, Jackie, Ann-Michelle, Heidi and many other organizers who came up with great ideas and suggestions and worked so tirelessly to ensure the success of “Leave Brookswood Alone.” Our now close-knit community (further thanks to the Township for this) remains determined to protect the area in which we live. DAVID CHAMBERS, LANGLEY
Two different communities Editor: Re: the failed Brookswood and Fernridge Community Plan amendment. Brookswood is a 40-year-old mature community of quarter-acre lots, and Fernridge is a clean slate, brought on by a moratorium on any subdividing 25 years ago. Having these two diverse communities in the same development plan is not good plan-
ning. As long there is only a single plan for both communities, Brookswood residents are always going to outvote the less-densely populated Fernridge, and then nothing will ever get approved. K. TAYLOR, LANGLEY
Residents along 80 Avenue do not want more street parking Editor: I am contacting you regarding an ongoing issue in my neighborhood. People pushing for more parking do not represent the majority of homeowners in the community of Yorkson South homes. My husband and I purchased our home in April 2012. Never once did the developer or their employees mislead us regarding the parking regulations along 80 Avenue. In fact, my husband and I purposely bought our home, which is on 80 Avenue, due to the fact that we were told there would not be street parking, but there would be bike lanes. For the 2013 holiday season, Langley Township council permitted parking along 80 Avenue, and it was infuriating to say the least. People visiting our neighbours were coming and going at all hours of the day and night and it was a nuisance. I do not regret my decision to file a complaint in January when the no parking signs along 80 Avenue failed to be uncovered by the stated date.
The actual issue is not the lack of visitor parking. It is due to a number of contributing factors, including homeowners with multiple tenants in illegal basement suites, unregistered personal businesses and homeowners not utilizing the parking allotted to them. Each home in Yorkson South, as I am sure you are aware, has been allotted three parking stalls. Each home has a double car garage and a single outdoor spot adjacent to the garage. If you were to do a survey, you will find there are some people who have upwards of six vehicles per household, which includes personal and work vehicles. You will also find out that many people living in Yorkson South do not use their two-car garage for its intended purpose. There are some people who operate personal businesses out of their homes, which may or may not be registered with the Township. One renter operates a business out of the garage.
The people with small businesses in a residential area are monopolizing the parking for their clients. To makes matters worse, more often than not these are the people who are also violating the no parking regulation in the alley behind 80 Avenue. Another major issue is the overpopulation within the Yorkson South homes. There are renters who are subletting out parts of the houses to other renters. There are some households with extended families living with them. The illegal suites within the homes are a major contributing factor to the limited visitor parking. These houses are a single family dwelling, with the possibility of one renter. Those pushing for more parking fail to take into consideration the bike lanes along 80 Avenue and the cyclists who depend on them for their personal safety. As the area continues to grow, so does the increase in traffic. We know cyclists who have been critically injured due to the lack
of bike lanes. My husband is a member of emergency services and has seen firsthand the life saving benefits of bike lanes. We will always support a council that maintains a green initiative and includes bike lanes when neighborhoods are being developed. Residents living along 80 Avenue will be negatively impacted by the removal of the no parking regulations. We are the ones who should be consulted. There are other important issues in the area. For example, there is a desperate need for a pedestrian-controlled crosswalk at the corner of 80 Avenue and 211 Street. If the underlying issues, including homeowners with multiple tenants in illegal basement suites, unregistered personal businesses and homeowners not utilizing the parking allotted to them, are addressed, the parking issues will resolve themselves.

Papa, a Eurasian lynx who was rescued by Greater Vancouver Zoo in 2000, has died. He was about 19 years of age.
Zoo’s oldest lynx Papa dies The staff of the Greater Vancouver Zoo and veterinarian Dr. Bruce Burton made the difficult decision to humanely euthanize their eldest Eurasian lynx, named Papa, on Thursday, April 3. “The decision to euthanize was based on Papa’s difficulty breathing and inability to swallow,” said zoo spokesperson Jody Henderson. “Biopsy results of a mass in the nasal cavity confirmed adenocarcinoma (cancer). Papa’s first sign of illness was nasal
discharge noticed on Feb. 4. He was treated with several different antibiotics, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatories with no positive results, and we felt his quality of life was not acceptable anymore.” The zoo has rescued numerous exotic animals over the years, including Papa, who was rescued from a private owner back in 2000 in poor bodily condition. After months of continual care Papa was nursed back to health as a healthy Eurasian lynx.
The Greater Vancouver Zoo does not encourage individuals to keep exotic animals such as a lynx for a pet. Lynx are typically skittish, very private and solitary animals, in addition to having specialized needs which the average person is not familiar with. Papa was approximately 19 years old. The median life expectancy for Eurasian lynx is 15 years. They are listed as “least concern” conservation status by the IUCN (International Union of Conservation of Nature) Red List.

Speed bumps planned for 50 Ave. near school The road that runs in front of the Langley Fundamental Elementary School will get three speed bumps and a raised crosswalk this summer. A report to Langley Township council from the municipal engineering division said that option was selected by more than half the people who attended a February open house on traffic calming for 50 Avenue near 217B Street where it runs in front of the school. Construction is scheduled to begin
this summer and will cost $34,500, the report said. Langley Fundamental has more than 500 K-to-5 students. In an online description, the school says it “is an alternate program that has operated for the last 35 years within the public school system” which emphasizes a “consistent, structured approach to instruction and learning … attainment of skills in a systematic, sequential manner [and the] establishment of a clearly defined standard of behaviour.”

There seems to be a link between the incidence of non-melanoma skin cancers and the development of other cancers. A study from Boston of more than 170,000 health professionals demonstrated that people with basal cell carcinoma have a 15 per cent risk of other cancers while those with squamous cell carcinoma had a 26 per cent increased risk. Both men and women were at risk for melanoma, but women were also at greater risk for breast and lung cancers. Use sunscreen! Routine PSA testing to screen for prostate cancer is controversial. This is because the test is not specific enough to detect only cancer – false positives can be caused by benign prostatic enlargement or infection. And, often any cancers detected are so slow-growing, they would never be a factor in the man’s life. As a result, many men are subjected to the significant side-effects of treatment unnecessarily. Experts say money would be better spent developing a better test. We’ve all heard of the benefits to baby of breastfeeding, but researchers have found it benefits mom too!

Cervical cancer is the third most common gynecological cancer and one-third of women who develop it die as a result. It is often the result of HPV infection, so HPV vaccinations should improve the cervical cancer rate. Scientists are studying two drugs generally used for other purposes (one is an antifungal, the other is a blood treatment) that show promise in treating cervical cancer – especially if it is caught early, and that means regular pap tests.

Creating Connections MAYA CORN CONNECTION IS HOSTING A NIGHT OF FASHION AND ENTERTAINMENT TO BENEFIT DESIGNERS AND SEAMSTRESSES IN EL SALVADOR AND GUATEMALA BR EN D A AND E R SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r
Canada and El Salvador are separated by just three countries — the United States, Mexico and Guatemala. But in many ways, they are worlds apart, say an Agassiz couple who are attempting to draw the two nations closer together, through a system of mutually beneficial commerce — not to mention a bit of fashion and fun. On Saturday, April 12, Keith and Maria McPherson will host a fashion show in Langley, which they hope will have a profound effect on people living in improverished Central American nations. The Mayan Cultural Fashion Evening, presented by the McPhersons’ organization, Maya Corn Connection, will include an exhibit of traditional clothing, designed and sewn in El Salvador and Guatemala, as well as a demonstration of traditional dance from the Mayan region of the Americas, wine and hors d’oeuvres. The purpose of the event is to help support rural artisans in those two countries — many of whom are single mothers, struggling to feed and clothe their own children, explained Maria. The couple mounted a similar show in Agassiz last year, filling a small 80-seat Anglican Church and raising funds to send back to Maria’s native El Salvador. “It was very well received. It’s what encouraged us to go to Langley,” said Keith, who is charge of marketing for Maya Corn Connection. The one bit of criticism the couple received following their Agassiz show was that they only promoted the work of artists who live in Central America — not local artists and artisans. It was feedback they took to heart. This time, they will incorporate the work of a local jewelry maker — Funky Cool Patina’s Patricia Burnett. Burnett’s work, which can be viewed at the Langley Arts Council gallery on Fraser Highway, is often inspired by music, with many items containing pieces of actual musical instruments or song sheets. “We loved her work. We thought, ‘Let’s go with Patricia and see where it takes us,’” said Keith. “It’s a beautiful thing because there is an exchange of culture and art,” said Maria. “All of the pieces have meaning for the designers and for tradition.” The Azul Nonualco line of clothing, which will be on display April 12, is created by a family-owned co-operative. It is recognizable by the indigo dye that

is used to colour the 100 per cent cotton fabric, imported from Brazil or Guatemala. The blue dye, from which the company takes part of its name, has natural antibacterial and deodorizing properties, and it has been used for 1,000 years, said Keith. “They make beautiful patterns in the dye,” he said. One of the company’s iconic designs is a butterfly, meant to signify transformation, beauty and freedom. A second line — Iquiti — is the product of a Mayan priestess who incorporates traditional design elements, such as the the sacred corn, into the earth- and skin-tone fabrics she favours. The fashion show will also feature “waist-woven” shawls and scarves. The weavers fix a loom around their waists and create woven patterns through the movement of their bodies, said Keith.
Maya Corn Connection buys the clothing directly from the seamstresses or their coop, at local (El Salvador) market prices and pays to have it shipped to Canada. Here, they sell it at Canadian prices, then subtract the costs of purchasing, shipping and taxes and send the women 40 per cent of the difference. For every $20 spent here on a piece of clothing, $11 goes to person who made it. The result is that the women earn two to three times what they would get for the clothing if they sold it at a local market, said Keith. In Canada, the amount of money involved is hardly worth considering, but in rural El Salvador and Guatemala, it makes all the difference, said Maria, Maya Corn Connection’s executive director. “We want to support these single moms. They’re responsible for their kids — for
food, for dressing them.” Through Maya Corn Connection, she said, the women of El Salvador and Guatemala are given a voice. “We give dignity to these women, because we value their work, we provide jobs for them and we help keep families together,” said Maria. Keeping families intact, in the rural communities where the women can raise their children in relative safety. In order to find a market for their clothes in Central America, the women would have to move into the cities, which can be a dangerous environment for children, said Maria. Instead, they’re able to stay in their rural communities and support the local economy. “We’re helping in a very practical way.” Maria speaks from experience. She was a single mother when she came to Canada with her son in 2008. Since she’s been here, Maria said, she has learned that women have rights equal to men and feels that she is no longer invisible. “There are only three countries between us, but (El Salvador) is a totally different life,” she said. “To be a woman there is not easy.” ••• Mayan Cultural Fashion Evening takes place at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church on Saturday, April 12, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tickets are $30. They may be purchased in advance only (not at the door) and are available from the church office, 20955 Old Yale Rd. Call 604-534-6514.

Unwanted items upcycled into original works of art
COLLISION & AUTOGLASS
the CLEAR CHOICE for
Glass Replacement & Autobody Repair
PUBLIC INVITED TO TURN TRASH INTO TREASURE AS THEY COMPETE FOR CASH Call it art for the environment; creativity with a conscience. For the second year in a row, the Township of Langley is teaming up with the Langley Arts Council (LAC) to encourage artists to turn found or recovered materials into masterpieces and inviting members of the public to come out and see what they’ve come up with. The Upcycling Design Challenge will culminate on Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22, when the inventive results will be on view from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in the LAC Gallery at 20550 Fraser Hwy. The event is free. “We were so pleased with the amazing pieces we saw last year,” said Township solid waste coordinator, Krista Daniszewski. “It is amazing how, with a little creativity, items that would otherwise end up in the landfill can become new beautiful works of art. Hopefully this year’s event will be bigger and better than before.” Upcycling means converting waste material into a more valuable or useful product and both the event’s organizers and the public were impressed by the thought, talent, and variety that went into last year’s challenge. “Each artist created something totally unique,” Daniszewski said. “We had everything from a coffee table made of hockey sticks and a mat weaved from plastic bags, to jewelry made out of leather jackets and even a life-sized ‘hiker’ man (pictured) made out of 16 different discarded metal items. I can’t wait to see what Langley artists will come up with this year.” Aspiring eco artists aged 14 and up are invited to participate by creating a new product using a minimum of 75 per cent found or recovered items. Pieces must be submitted to the Arts Council on April 11 or 12 and prizes will be awarded based on creative use of material, originality, the percent-

Langley Fundamental Grade 12 student Hannah Beaton was the 2014 recipient of the Pete Swensson Outstanding Community Youth Award. She was one of eight nominees from secondary schools in the Township. Beaton, who is off to Trinity Western University on a track and field scholarship in the fall, created the ‘Step In Someone Else’s Shoes’ program a few years ago. She collects old shoes, cleans them up and hands them out to kids in need.
Stepping up to help out others G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Spo r t s
Hannah Beaton knows the feeling of being helped by others, so the chance to reciprocate was an easy decision. “When I was growing up, my mom (Cindy Pervan) was a single mom and was taking care of me and my sisters,” Beaton said. “It was really hard for her because she was also going to school, taking care of us, taking us to school, taking care of all our needs as well as being a good mom and loving us.” Beaton, an 18-year-old Grade 12 student at Langley Fundamental, is the youngest of three with older sisters Amie, 24, and Ellie, 23. The family was helped by their local food bank and the Christmas Bureau and that aid left a lasting impression on the Langley teen. “There were a lot of people that helped support us,” Beaton said. Three years ago, Beaton’s mom came home one day from her job as a special education assistant in Surrey. She told her youngest daughter about a little boy who was walking to school every morning — in the snow — with a pair of shoes that had holes and were held together by tape. The family ended up buying the boy a pair of snow boots. It prompted Beaton to do something bigger by beginning Step in Someone Else’s Shoes, a program which collects and redistributes shoes for students in need. “I just thought there must be a lot more kids like him out there that need shoes,” she explained. Beaton — who was attending White Rock Christian Academy — asked her classmates for any old shoes they might be willing to donate and set up a donation box in the school’s foyer. The box was soon overflowing with do-
nations.

Kristin Renville, an outreach director for Langley’s Southgate Church, worked with Beaton on the Family Sports Night program, with Beaton now having taking over the program from Renville. “I meet many youth (and) Hannah is exceptional,” wrote Renville in a reference letter for the Swensson Award. “Many times finding help for outreach events is a task in an of itself, but in Hannah’s case, she showed the initiative, she tracked me down, volunteered and then proved herself more capable than many adults.” “Hannah came in and immediately showed initiative, leadership and compassion,” Renville wrote. “She came with ideas, led games and made positive connections with the families. “I was surprised to find out she was a high school student.” “She shows leadership beyond her years and will be impacting her community for years to come.” And Beaton does all of this while also performing as an elite level track and field athlete. She grew up playing several sports — soccer, softball and volleyball to name a few — but has settled on track and field, and specifically, heptathlon. Continued Page 26

The Pete Swensson Outstanding Community Youth award is given to a Langley secondary student in recognition of their athletic, scholastic and community efforts. Personal qualities such as leadership, work ethic and initiative play a major role in determining the winner. It is named after Pete Swensson, the Township’s first recreation director who was committed to the overall development of youth. The award was won by Langley Fundamental’s Hannah Beaton (page 25). Here is a look at the other seven nominees. Georgie Antle (D.W. Poppy) A Grade 12 student, Georgie Antle has excelled in sports throughout high school and started with the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club in Grade 7. She advanced to the high performance Gold Group and holds one of the Mustangs’ top ten awards for discus. A member of the Poppy track and field team, she has also played volleyball and basketball. Sports have given her the opportunity to travel, attend training camps, and receive numerous awards. Antle has passed her expertise on by coaching and score-keeping for others. As well, she volunteers at car shows, games, and tournaments. An honour roll student since Grade 8, she is also an outstanding musician and photographer, and has taken on leadership roles backstage in her school’s musical theatre productions. Antle represented
sport,” Beaton said. “So I still get to do my jumping, my throwing, my running, I get to do them all in one sport.” She credits her stepfather, Ward Pervan, for teaching her the nuances of some of the throwing events from his background in the sport. Beaton has competed both locally with the Langley Mustangs Track

D.W. Poppy at the Arts and Culture Week of Encounters Canada last year. ••• Aidan Kits (Langley Christian) An award-winning Grade 12 student at Langley Christian School, Aidan Kits is taking high level academic courses, focusing on math and science, and has maintained a consistent 95 per cent average. Equally strong on the field, he has played volleyball, basketball, and soccer at the gold and silver level. Aidan has also been involved in cross country and track and field, with both his school and with the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club. With the Mustangs, he practices five days a week as part of the gold performance group. A constant top-ten performer, he competed in the 2010 B.C. Summer Games and took third place in the 400m competition at the 2013 provincial high school track and field championships. A volunteer referee and scorekeeper who looks after children at his church, Kits is interning with his school’s athletic director to help organize schedules and tournaments. He also volunteered at the NORCECA Continental volleyball tournament. ••• Julianna Matson (Walnut Grove) When your physics teacher ranks you in the top five per cent of the students he has taught over the past 25 years, you know you are doing pretty well academically.
Julianna Matson is a Grade 12 Walnut Grove Secondary student who is consistently on the ‘A’ and ‘effort’ honour roll. A member of several school clubs — including Humanitarian and Me-to-We — she has also been recognized for her artistic and writing skills. A competitive swimmer and soccer player who completed a half marathon and sprint triathlon last year, Matson has qualified provincially in cross-country and track and field for the past two years. An enthusiastic community volunteer, Julianna has helped out with the Relay for Life, Yorkson Creekside Clean-Up, at Christmas in Williams Park, and with the Canadian Cancer Society.

Matson was presented with a Super Contribution Award by her school last year and will be representing Walnut Grove at the UBC Student Leadership Conference. ••• Brian Portner (R.E. Mountain) His school’s student council president, Brian Portner has been regarded as one of the school’s most committed and involved students since he arrived in Grade 8. Five years later, he achieves straight A’s and ranks second in the demanding International Baccalaureate program. A leader both on and off the field, he has been a member of Mountain’s cross-country and track and field teams
studying nursing. She called Trinity Western her dream school. “It is close to home, I love the environment — it is relaxed and faith-based — plus the track team is growing,” she said. Beaton plans to study nursing while she competes on the Spartans track and field team.

worthy candidates of award since Grade 9. Training twice a week for both sports, he keeps the teams on track by helping with practices, arranging rides, collecting forms, and motivating his fellow athletes. Since 2012, Matson has volunteered at Langley Memorial Hospital where he is a leader with the VolunTEEN program. A Sunday School teacher at his church, he also contributes to his school’s Restorative Action team, is a Township of Langley recreation volunteer, and has achieved the silver standard of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. ••• Michael Pratt (Brookswood) The recipient of a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal and the Rotary Club’s Paul Harris Fellow, a representative at Prime Minister Harper’s Round Table, and an honourary veteran, are some of the things 16-year-old Michael Pratt has already accomplished. A Grade 11 Student at Brookswood Secondary, Pratt has made headlines for co-founding the Langley Youth for the Fallen Walk to
Remember with his sister at the Derek Doubleday Arboretum to honour the Canadian soldiers who lost their lives in Afghanistan. At school, he is a provincial champion in French public speaking and has maintained at least a 90 per cent average since Grade 8. Named the male athlete of the year for the three years he has been at Brookswood, Pratt is a red belt in karate who participates in soccer, track, and cross country. His skill in basketball has seen him named team captain, chosen for all-star teams, and invited to participate with an elite basketball travel team and at the Basketball BC regional training centre. ••• Devon Stam (Credo Christian) A member of the student action leadership team that runs intramural and lunch hour events, Devon Stam is a Grade 12 student at Credo Christian who maintains a 90 per cent average and has been on the honour roll with distinction every term since Grade 8. He is just as actively in-
volved in the community, serving on the Township of Langley’s Youth Advisory Committee and on the Community and Transportation Safety Advisory Committee. Stam also serves dinner at Building 272 in Aldergrove and participates in Youth Group activities at his church. Stam excels in sports, from soccer, volleyball, and basketball to badminton, track and field, and hockey. In soccer, he was brought up to the starting lineup for the senior team when he was only in Grade 10. That team went on to place second in the Fraser Valley, and Stam was named player of the game at the provincial championships. He has also been named captain of both his soccer and basketball teams. ••• Amy Whitton (Aldergrove) Chances are if you were to look for Amy Whitton, you would find her in a pool.
A Grade 12 student at Aldergrove Community Secondary, Whitton has been involved in synchronized swimming for seven years, doing team, duet, and solo routines. This year she is on two teams and trains six days — a total of 27 hours — each week. The work has paid off as Whitton is recognized as one of the top athletes in the province and last year her team was second at the Canadian Open. She still manages to find the time to study, maintaining a high grade point average and honour roll status each year, and to contribute to her community. A member of Aldergrove’s grad committee, she also tutors students at Betty Gilbert Elementary, has helped feed the homeless on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, and run “Try It” programs to get others interested in synchronized swimming.
