Check your ticket – BCLC LOTTERY CORPORATION SAYS WINNING 50 MILLION TICKET STILL UNCLAIMED DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
JAMES INGLIS Langley Times
Aerial hoop acrobat Alexandra Susheski, a Grade 10 student and part-time gymnastics coach, performs her act during the fourth annual Langley Has Talent competition finals, held Saturday at Christian Life Assembly. The annual contest is hosted by Langley’s four Rotary clubs and is intended to draw attention to the need for a dedicated performing arts centre in Langley. Full story and more photos on page 30.
A $50 million lottery ticket sold in Langley was still unclaimed as of Monday, April 14, exactly one month after it was drawn. The lottery corporation marked the date by issuing a public appeal for players to check their tickets. Winners have one year from the draw date printed on the ticket to claim their prize but “with each passing day the winner has been losing potential [bank] interest” on their winnings, the written statement said. “Our conservative estimate shows the winner could be accruing $2,500 per day [in interest] had they already come forward to claim their prize, said Kevin Gass, vice-president of lottery gaming at the B.C. Lottery Corporation. The winning ticket
holder for the March 14 draw has not contacted BCLC nor validated the ticket at a lottery retailer, Gass said. The March 14, 2014 LOTTO MAX jackpot win ties the largest prize ever won in B.C. There are a couple of other major prizes that remain unclaimed in B.C. A winning ticket for $333,333.40 sold in Port Alberni on the same March 14 draw and a $1 million prize on a ticket sold in Aldergrove on the Dec. 13 LOTTO MAX draw also remain unclaimed. No top lottery prize won in B.C. has ever gone unclaimed, the corporation said. The largest single prize ever won in Canada was a $54 million Lotto 6/49 jackpot in Alberta in October 2005. Winning numbers can be found online at bclc. com.
Tree-cutting ban to take effect Tuesday TOWNSHIP COUNCIL TO HOLD SPECIAL MEETING TO PASS PROHIBITION FOR BROOKSWOOD DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
A temporary ban on clear-cutting trees in Brookswood could be in place as soon as Tuesday (today). The “Interim Tree Preservation Bylaw” sets fines of $500 to $10,000 for cutting down more than three trees per acre per year. COME PLAY
The bylaw was expected to get preliminary approval at the regular Monday Langley Township council meeting, with a special 6 p.m. Tuesday meeting scheduled for the “sole purpose of providing final reading,” the council agenda states. It is a 75-day ban, to allow time to develop a more comprehensive tree protection bylaw.

The move to bring in the interim prohibition comes one week after Brookswood residents crowded into council chambers to complain that wholesale tree-cutting has denuded many acres of the semi-rural neighbourhood. Some suggested the tree-cutting was being carried out by developers who expected council would approve a re-
vised community plan that would allow multi-family housing in Brookswood, a neighbourhood that is 99.7 per cent single-family homes. Even though the controversial plan was voted down, the cutting is continuing, residents said. One assessment found 82 per cent of the Continued Page 5

Driver airlifted after trucktrain crash
DAN FERGUSON Langley Times
Langley Township firefighters and various police officials take a man who was removed from his truck cab to a waiting air ambulance on Thursday morning. The man was driving a dump truck that was struck by a CN freight train east of Fort Langley about 10 a.m. The truck was crossing a private rail crossing just off River Road. The driver has life-threatening injuries, police say.
A man was airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries after his dump truck collided with a CN freight train Thursday morning, east of Fort Langley. The driver of the truck was trapped in the cab of the vehicle, which was pushed for some distance down the tracks. Rescue crews were eventually able to free him, and he was transported to hospital by air ambulance. Langley RCMP say he has life-threatening injuries. It’s believed the driver panicked and froze, before the train hit the truck he was in, said police. He may have been unfamiliar with the area and the rail crossing, said Cpl. Holly Marks. The crash took place on a private crossing off River Road. Remnants of the truck ended up near River and Armstrong Roads. It occurred about 10 a.m. Langley RCMP say there were no dangerous goods aboard the train. Robin Miller heard the crash and rushed to the scene. “I could hear the train trying to decelerate and then I heard bang, bang, bang,” he said. The driver was trapped inside his cab for more than an hour, said Miller. A resident of the area, Miller said trains 100 cars long rumble through the area frequently. “We have lots of dump trucks in the area using that crossing,” Miller said.
Aldergrove port of entry to be expanded FARMERS RAISE CONCERNS ABOUT ACCESS TO FIELDS ON EACH SIDE OF HIGHWAY KURT LANGMANN Black Press
The federal government will invest $17.7 million in a complete overhaul of the buildings and road access to the Aldergrove port of entry. The announcement was made Monday at the Aldergrove-Lynden border by Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Steven Blaney and Langley MP Mark Warawa. Warawa said the decision was the result of “seven to eight years of work to make the Aldergrove crossing, a strategic location, work to its full potential.” Warawa credited the support of part-
BEFORE
ners such as local governments and chambers of commerce on both sides of the border, as well as the B.C. Trucking Association, in making this project a federal priority. Blaney said the existing and aging Canadian Border Services Agency infrastructure at Aldergrove “would be gone in 18 months,” replaced by new structures that would serve “two new commercial lanes and five travel lanes, with the potential for up to eight in the future.” The project also includes a new commercial examination warehouse, all scheduled to open by 2016. Blaney also announced a new, third
Nexus lane at the Pacific Highway border crossing in Surrey, open 7 a.m.-12 midnight, seven days a week. The Aldergrove border crossing project entails a major re-design of the local roads by the provincial transportation ministry. Highway 13 would be four lanes and access from Zero Avenue would be eliminated. The latter plan is an issue for south Aldergrove farmers, as Zero Avenue currently provides farm machinery access to working farms on both sides of the highway. Lance and Diane Conway own 90 acres of berry farms next to the highway, with 50 acres on the west side of the highway
YOUR NEW SMILE
and another 40 acres on the other side. The highways ministry intends to purchase a right-of-way through Conway’s acreage to create a new road access to the farms on the west side, but those plans would also cut off access for farms on the east side. “I’m not talking to them about this rightof-way until we resolve the access issue for the farmers here, and it’s not just me, there are other farmers who have the same problem with the proposed plans,” said Lance Conway. “I am meeting with highways again on Wednesday and we are hoping for a resolution.”

Saturday robberies similar RCMP from both Ridge Meadows and Langley detachments are investigating robberies that appear to be the work of the same set of thieves. The two robberies took place early Saturday morning. At 12:15 a.m., a lone male gained entry to the Chevron gas station store in the 20500 block of the Lougheed Highway. After threatening the clerk with a weapon, the suspect stole an undisclosed amount of money and lottery tickets. He then left the gas station in a silver-grey car, possibly a Pontiac Sunfire, which was driven by a female accomplice. A short time later, at approximately 12:30 a.m. a similarly-described male suspect entered a North Langley Chevron station by shattering the
locked glass door. He then smashed the front counter glass case with a hammer and took over $400 in lottery tickets, He ordered the attendant to open the cash register, and took the coin drawer as well. The vehicle observed in this robbery was a dark red car,, possibly a Honda. The suspect is described as a white male in his late 20s or early 30s, approximately 5’8�, with a medium build, no facial hair and dark-coloured eyes. He was wearing a black, or dark blue hooded sweatshirt which had the word “shady� written on the front, blue jeans and tan coloured boots. The female accomplice was observed to have long dark hair. The two detachments have mounted a joint investigation.
Wanted couple arrested Apr. 3 DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter
A Langley couple wanted for robbery were arrested with a fugitive from Calgary. Langley RCMP have revealed the arrests of James and Nicole Gunn were made when police captured Michael Anthony Ghostkeeper, who was wanted by the Calgary Police Service on 18 charges. When Ghostkeeper was arrested on April 3 by the Surrey RCMP’s High Risk Target Team and Emergency Response Team (ERT), the Gunns were with him, police said. James Donald Gunn and his wife, Nicole Jean Gunn, both 31, were being sought by Langley RCMP for a variety of robbery-related offences.

Petition against clear-cutting has more than 1,000 names From Page 1
“adult demographic” trees on certain sites had been chopped down over a one-year period. The cutting was carried out despite a provincial law that is supposed to restrict the “destruction or disturbance of bird habitat” between March and August. As of Monday, April 14, an online petition for a clear-cutting prohibition had gathered over 1,000 signatures. The temporary ban was proposed last week by Councillor Kim Richter, who said it would
allow time to overhaul tree protection regulations while preventing property owners from “savagely ripping apart” Brookswood. The last time the Township considered a tree protection bylaw for Brookswood was in 2007, when a proposed set of regulations drafted by a municipal task force was unanimously rejected by the council of the day. The defeated bylaw would only have applied to quarter-acre lots in Brookswood and would have require neighbours to approve tree-cutting
or pruning. If neighbours didn’t object, a free permit would be issued. But if there were objections, an arborist’s report and a $500 permit fee would be required before any cutting could be carried out. An April 27, 2007 Times report on the decision shows 54 of 55 respondents complained it would interfere with property owners’ rights and should be scrapped. A number of critics questioned why just one area of the Township was picked for such a bylaw.

Law Society of B.C. directors voted 20-6 on Friday to recognize Trinity Western University’s planned faith-based law school. Opponents argued the Langley university’s community covenant prohibiting “sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman” discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation against gay and lesbian law students and faculty. “In my opinion, Trinity Western University’s community covenant is an anachronism and a throwback that wouldn’t be out of place in the 1960s,” said lawyer Cameron Ward, one of the society’s directors who voted for a motion to deny accreditation to TWU. The law school already has approval from the provincial
government to open but the law society controls who can practise as a lawyer in B.C. Several law society directors, known as benchers, said they could not justify rejecting TWU’s grads, citing a 2001 Supreme Court of Canada ruling in favour of Trinity on religious freedom. Miriam Kresivo, one of the society’s benchers, said she doesn’t believe the society can bar TWU “even though the covenant may be abhorrent to me.” Others said the law society cannot presume in advance that TWU grads would act contrary to the standards of the legal profession. “The Law Society of B.C is not a belief regulator, we are a conduct regulator,” Kamloops lawyer Ken Walker said. “We must not trample on the rights of one group of society to satisfy the rights of another,”

added bencher Claude Richmond, who also voted against the motion to deny TWU accreditation. Some benchers who voted with the majority noted the law society could review and revoke TWU accreditation in future if it had grounds to do so. Victoria lawyer Pinder Cheema was one of the benchers who urged TWU to revise its covenant, predicting its “offensive reputation” will otherwise follow the law school’s grads into practice. TWU president Bob Kuhn said the decision clears the way for the new law school, which is on track to open in the fall of 2016. “This is also an important decision for all Canadians,” Kuhn said. “It says that there is room in a democratic country like Canada for a law school at a Christian university.”

Tooth fairy letter goes viral MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
James Hill Principal Chris Wejr’s letter to the tooth fairy to help one of his students who lost her tooth has gone viral. “It’s been overwhelming all the people who are enjoying this story,” said Wejr. “I want parents to see the positive things that are happening at our school.” It was on April 9 when a student fell at school, losing a loose tooth in the process. A Special Education Assistant working with the student patched her up and cleaned up the tooth and put it in a special tooth pouch necklace. “She was proudly heading outside with her tooth in her necklace when she tripped and fell,” said Wejr. “She hurt her hand but in the process the tooth popped out of the necklace. She was really upset about the tooth and was crying.” Wejr saw her and asked if he could help. The pair looked for her tooth for sometime, but couldn’t find it in the gravel, he said. “I told her, ‘I have an idea. What do you think about you and me writing a letter to the tooth fairy. I’ve written to the tooth fairy before and it’s worked,’” he told the student. The pair went into Wejr’s office and penned a letter to the tooth fairy using official James Hill letterhead. Wejr wrote: “Dear Tooth Fairy, [a student] lost her tooth at our school. She placed it in her tooth necklace but went outside and tripped on the steps and lost the tooth...She is very upset so I told her that I had written a letter to

James Hill Elementary principal Chris Wejr penned this letter to the tooth fairy on behalf of a student who misplaced a lost tooth. you before and accepted this in place of the tooth. Wejr goes onto ask the tooth fairy to accept this letter under her pillow in place of the tooth. “I asked her what she would like to say to the tooth fairy and she asked me to write ‘Happy flying!’ so that is the last words on the letter.” Wejr snapped a picture of the letter and posted it on the school’s Facebook page. Next thing he knew JRFM radio posted the letter on their Facebook page and now it has more than 3,000 likes, 700 shares and has gone viral across social media sites. “Great things like this happen
all the time at school but parents don’t often hear about it. We have some incredibly caring teachers here,” he said. “It’s a nice little way to share what goes on.” The letter worked, by the way. The student’s mom came to Wejr the next day thanking him for the letter which was promptly put under the student’s pillow. “Yes, she got some money from the tooth fairy,” he said. He has since been asked if he has any connections with the Easter Bunny and for the adults, the Canada Revenue Agency. “I’m not sure I can help with that one.”

Question langeytimes.com
of the week
Do you agree with the decision to expand the Aldergrove border crossing and add a Nexus lane?
Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
News that the Aldergrove border port of entry will get a new building and Nexus lane, starting in 2016, and that there will be an expanded commercial port of entry there, is excellent news for Langley and the surrounding
area. With border crossings becoming increasingly congested, due largely to population growth and proximity to major events and shopping on both sides of the line, it makes sense for the Aldergrove crossing to offer a Nexus lane for those with passes. It will help alleviate some lengthy border lineups on occasion, but most importantly, it will offer much improved service to a large population area. The news about the commercial port of entry is particularly important to Langley. Growth of the Gloucester industrial area and proximity to Highway 1 makes it a natural for businesses to ship goods via Highway 13 and the Guide Meridian in Washington state. Having to take commercial goods a further distance to the Pacific Highway or Huntingdon ports of entry costs importers and exporters time and money. Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce has been making this point for years, and MP Mark Warawa has taken their case to Ottawa time and time again. Both deserve a lot of praise for sticking with this issue. In the long run, this will be good for Langley businesses and will boost employment in this area. The two Langleys already have a population of 135,000. The population is growing, and surrounding communities like Abbotsford, Surrey and Maple Ridge bring the area population to well over 750,000. It makes sense to have border traffic be as seamless as possible, particularly in an age where border security is a much more important issue than it used to be. It is also time for Canada Border Services Agency to again consider 24 hour service. The opening hours of 8 a.m. to 12 a.m. (midnight) at the Aldergrove crossing are a quaint anachronism, dating back to when Langley was wholly rural. Having the border open 24 hours a day would offer even more service to travellers.
‘Housing first’ works A report by the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) shows that a “housing first” approach to sheltering the homeless is effective in ending homelessness among people with mental illness. It also has the added benefit of saving money. The task force on homelessness recently created by Abbotsford city hall should be paying close attention. And so should the “homeless society” that’s received funding from the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association. It is suggesting a “dignity village” as a primary focus. The report studied more than 2,000 homeless Canadians with mental illness, from a variety of backgrounds, who have found housing over a two-year period through a federally funded initiative. Housing first is a concept based on the belief that having a roof over someone’s head is the first step before addressing issues of substance abuse or mental health. The report found that for every $10 invested into housing first projects, $22 were saved. On April 1, the federal government’s $600 million Homelessness Partnering Strategy shifted to a housing first approach. Abbotsford recently passed up $17 million in provincial funding for a housing first project in downtown Abbotsford. Now, a task force is discussing solutions to homelessness. The “dignity village” approach — essentially a sanctioned homeless camp — is a temporary solution with no next transitional step if the city doesn’t have a housing first facility. And that does little to address the core causes of homelessness, such as mental illness and substance abuse, and their related public costs in terms of health care and social services. Let’s get back to dealing with this issue. — Abbotsford News

Challenging the law Editor: There is an elegance to the rule of law and this elegance lies in its simplicity. The rule of law means that no one is above the law: no individual, no bureaucrat, no government at any level. If asked, most of us would describe ourselves as law-abiding citizens. We were raised as such and have raised, or are raising, our children within the same moral framework that had served our parents before us. What has been missed, by some, with respect to the Fort Langley issue, is that the rule of law has been challenged. This should be of importance to each and every person living in our Township, but this has not been the case. In fact, in Fort Langley, those who drew attention to this fact, in court, have been challenged, castigated and abused by those who would rather shoot the messenger than recognize and accept the message. There is a disconnect here. The guardian of the rule of law is the court and the judiciary, which stands in defence of the law. Why was the Township of Langley taken to court? To protect the rule of law. The Township lost in court. Why? Because the Township broke the law. “Governmental decisions must be made only by applying known legal and moral principles,” states Black’s Law Dictionary, fifth edition. Laws can be changed, but cannot be ignored. Each of us should question any venue where an existing law is ignored and then, when challenged, is changed after the fact. That is equivalent to raising the speed limit after the rich man has sped through. Are we continuing to abuse the rule of law here in the Township? How would one explain this issue to one’s children? How do we, as adults, imbue our young people with moral values, and the importance of abiding by the law, when those elected to public office fail to set a worthy example? Our attention must focus, with clarity and without emotion, upon this very basic issue. Our society is governed by laws which serve to strengthen the framework of our social structure. Laws exist and we do not get to pick and to choose which of these laws we will acknowledge and obey. Our elected municipal officials are held, or should be held, to a higher standard. This high standard also applies to the municipal bureaucrats and employees who draw their paycheques from the public purse. The standard exists and so do the public expectations. All of the above begs a final question: because of decisions made by Township council and Township bureaucrats, how many other Langley taxpayers are being, have been, or will be forced to seek redress through the court when comparable, existing laws are disregarded? How many of our hard-earned tax dollars are being, have been or will be spent on well-paid municipal lawyers fighting against municipal taxpayers? There is a question to be asked and to be answered before the next election. I. MCKAIG, LANGLEY

Phrase is libelling the dead Editor: I’ve noticed a rather disturbing trend with professional media outlets the past decade or so. There is cheap, tabloid-like reporting which seemingly gets worse and worse as the years go by. Whenever a person dies an unnatural or suspicious death, or when our saintly police forces are involved in the slightest degree, the media diligently report to the slavering public that the deceased person was . . . “known to police.” Why? What is the point of this? It’s tragic enough that the person has lost their life, but now it must be publicized with a not-so-veiled implication that “they deserved it” because they were “known to police?” Truly? There are plenty of good-hearted and good-natured people who unfortunately have criminal records. These people give their time and monies to charity, help old ladies across the street, take in and nurture injured animals, and give comforting words and deeds to those who are hurt and suffering. But all those nuances that define the term “human being” mean nothing to certain uncouth news-
paper editors and media managers whose only apparent care in the world is ratings and profit margin via sensationalism. God forbid an editor ever runs afoul of the law. One can only hope their successor follows due diligence and reduces their life’s good work to a mere label once they give up the ghost — a label touted by those who don’t exactly have a sterling record for crimes as a corporate whole, either, it must be stated. “The greatness of a nation can be judged by how it treats its weakest member” — that saying can be suitably translated in this context, for there is none more unable to defend themselves than those who have lost their lives. Ridiculing the dead is hardly becoming of a great nation, or of a decent human being, and it’s painfully disrespectful to family members in mourning. It’s tantamount to desecrating their grave with libelous graffiti. FARREN MCDONALD, PORT COQUITLAM
Lawyers on both sides of policy Editor: The controversy about Trinity Western University’s proposed law school is now over. Young people in Langley and beyond can look forward to attending law school in Langley. Now that the directors of the Law Society of B.C. have decided, in a 20 to 6 vote, to accept TWU graduates, three key points should be made. First, since the Federation of Law Societies of Canada, after an 18-month study, approved the TWU proposal, the B.C. body had no reason to be opposed. Second, at present many universities in the U.S. and elsewhere have similar faith and conduct requirements. They have produced fine attorneys. Third, the argument that TWU graduates could not be good lawyers because they have agreed to a university policy upholding traditional marriage is deeply flawed. The
TWU policy deals with behaviour while the students are at TWU, not with a life-long commitment. Also, about 50 per cent of Canadians support this view. Further, as every lawyer knows, concerning any social policy, whether rooted in the constitution, the Charter, or legislation, numerous lawyers are in opposition. On major policies dealing with capital punishment, euthanasia, compulsory vaccination, decriminalizing marijuana, same-sex marriage, etc. the country is rife with lawyers on both sides of the issue. The TWU law school won’t cause or affect that reality. Read history, lawyers. Freedom prescribes diversity and social progress has come through dissenting minorities, not by imposition of views by majorities. JOHN H. REDEKOP, ABBOTSFORD
Square dance festival comes here Editor: For the third time in over 60 years, the Pacific Northwest Teen Square Dance Festival is being held in Langley. This festival is an annual event that is hosted either in Washington state or British Columbia. I first heard about this festival when I was a teen square dancer, back in the 1960s. Nothing was more exciting than getting prepped for the competition. Months and months of practising finally came to fruition, when we stepped onto the floor to demonstrate what we knew. New matching dresses, crinolines, shoes, shirts and ties were sewn for us. The first year, our team from Surrey did not place. We realized that months of practicing was not enough. It took years to become a flawless dancer. We entered later and this time we did place. Well, that excitement is building for more than 100 dancers, who
will compete against other teams in the competition being held at Langley Secondary School. There are competitions for various age levels, dancing levels, and caller, cueing levels. Spectators are invited to attend the all-day Saturday competition. The Friday night is a pre-dance for all the visitors and competitors. Our local caller Steve Edlund and his wife, Lynnette, who are members of the Brookswood Senior Citizens Centre, and call for our local club at the centre, are leading up this festival. See you on the dance floor at LSS on Saturday, May 3, from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m. BONNIE HARTUP, LANGLEY

Two arrested after air chase MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
Two well-known criminals were arrested after a dramatic car chase through Langley in the early morning hours on Friday. Around 3 a.m., a Langley RCMP officer doing routine patrol spotted a Honda Civic stopped with its doors open in the middle of a quiet Walnut Grove street. The officer saw one man standing beside the car and a second ducked down inside a parked car, looking like he was attempting to steal it, said RCMP regional duty officer
Insp. Tim Shields. When the two men saw the police they jumped into the Honda Civic and took off at a high rate of speed towards Fort Langley. RCMP helicopter Air One, which is based out of Langley Regional Airport, was dispatched and quickly arrived to track the Honda from the air. The tactical flight officer video taped the incident using the camera’s thermal imaging to track the men, said Shields. The Honda travelled at a high rate of speed along Glover Road where it passed another vehicle on a

double solid line and narrowly missed striking a second car head on. The Honda then turned into a driveway on a rural street and the two suspects got out and began walking without apparently knowing they were being tracked by air. Their body heat was glowing brightly against the cold ground. When they realized they were being followed, they ran into a large farm property to escape capture but Air One was able to direct police ground units to the farm’s location. Both were arrested.

2014 SPRING
Home&Garden
Make the neighbours
TAKE NOTICE this spring A
s the weather warms and the days lengthen, many people turn away from their televisions, open their patio doors and step outside. The popular concept of the outdoor room has a firm grip on today’s consumer. In general the population has learned to hold on tighter to their dollars. “Since the recession people are less likely to drop $10,000 on a vacation. They would rather spend the money at home creating an outdoor space that they can enjoy 11 months of the year,” says Brian Huttema of Mijodelu Landscaping. Specializing in hardscaping Brian has noticed a trend towards homeownerfriendly installations. These are installations like outdoor kitchens that the homeowner could possibly do himself. Companies like Barkman, provide kits complete with pre-cut bricks, gloves and instructional DVD. With the help of some strong-armed buddies these kitchens could be assembled over a few weekends or a professional could put it together for you in a couple of days. These kits offer a custom-built look at an IKEA price. Another concept quickly becoming more popular in patios is concrete flagstone made to look like natural stone. The bricks are uniform in shape making it easy to lay down, but the veins running through them vary. This makes it almost impossible to tell where one brick ends and the next one begins. The consumer will be unable to see repetition in the bricks and the neighbours will be impressed with what looks like a difficult layout. This is what lies at the heart of today’s trends: people want to be seen and admired. The popularity of home improvement shows spurs people on to make their home the show stopper in the neighbourhood. Upgrading their home attracts potential buyers, inspires the neighbours and of course increases the value of the home.
“The appearance of the front of the house is the ribbon on the present,” says Brian. “The present may be wrapped, but it’s the ribbon that attracts the buyer.” Another trend aimed at impressing visitors is what Shelley Levis of Milner Village Garden Centre calls “drinking your garden.” How cool will you be when you serve juice squeezed from blueberries you grew yourself? Or sneak in some veggies when making smoothies for the kids. Tasty combinations include apple with cucumber and mint; cucumber, tomato and basil; or carrot, orange and coriander. They are delicious and kids will drink them! Growing your own beverages ties in with another important trend. Concern for the decreasing bee population has spurred many people on to creating a welcoming space for them. Planting fruits like blueberries, cranberries, raspberries and pumpkins as well as other bee-friendly plants invites bees to the garden and increases its yield. As awareness increases so does the popularity of all things bee. Still going strong is the vertical gardening concept. There are so many new homes going up each year, many of them on postage stamp-sized lots. For those who want to impress their neighbours with their stylish patios as well as their beautiful garden, the only way to grow is up. Whether it is creating one out of repurposed pallets or pvc pipe, or purchasing a sleek, professionally installed living wall even a small townhome can have a lush oasis out the back door. Whether your goal is to update your exterior in order to sell your home, or simply to get more pleasure out of it yourself, you do well to stay up to date with the current trends. Implement even just one of the ideas above and you will see others slowing down or even stopping to take note! By Fiona Jansen

Paint is one of the easiest ways to freshen up your space, and can make for some endlessly creative possibilities. A new coat of paint will go a long way towards transforming your home. “The spectrum of colours for the coming year continues to reflect people’s desire to disconnect from today’s complex world and return to the beauty of nature and art,” says Mylene Gevry, brand director for Sico paint. Continuing that natural trend, yellow is expected to be this year’s hottest colour. This year’s “stand out colour can best be described as a butter cream yellow, a warm pastel shade that has a fullness to it, but is still light enough to act as a neutral,” says Alison Goldman, brand manager for CIL paint. CIL has released a new colour called Creamy this year, which takes all of those descriptors into account. “It’s a soft buttery colour that emits a feeling of calm, tranquility and renewal,” says Goldman. CIL recommends pairing it with citrus colours for a pop of spring in the home. “Overall, the 2014 colour palette demonstrates our growing desire for life balance,” says Gevry. “As a result, we will see increased use of rich colour combinations, innovative patterns and distinct lines throughout the year.” “People are starting to let out their collective breath and are ready for new beginnings, which is translating into a
movement towards fresh and creative colours,” says Martin Tustin-Fuchs, brand manager for Dulux paint. “As a result, we’ll see novel shades and unexpected combinations of colours in the year ahead in all areas of home decor.” He sees vibrant colours and new energy arriving in home decor. “Reds are more tangy, oranges are more expressive, greens are more jewelled and blues are more tropical,” says Tustin-Fuchs. Popular reds are expected to include vibrant reds with orange undertones, while oranges are moving towards terra-cotta and spice hues, according to Dulux. Blue itself will tend towards the ocean colours, and green will build off emerald and teal. Purple will move in two directions; the first will trend towards red-hued purples, and the other towards blue-purple tones. Paint takes its cue from fashion, and this will be especially evident this year. “Our 2014 colour palette creates a contemporary and edited view of modern society, and on the other, it embraces an artisan past, infl uenced by the historical patterns of brocades, damasks and toile, and our continued appreciation for anything hand-craft ed,” says Gevry.

Add a Gazebo
Backyard living can be easy with a gazebo that fits your style and space. Not only will it provide shelter, it can also add a touch of style to your yard. “A gazebo really does add to your life,” says Donna Lillejord of Alfresco Backyard Lifestyles. “You can use your yard all year round.” A gazebo can be called by many names, including pergola or pavilion, but it’s generally recognized as being a structure with a roof that is open on all sides used to give you protection from the elements. While Lillejord says that there’s always a solution for any type of situation when it comes to installing a gazebo, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. “How much space do you have?” she asks. “You don’t want to canopy your entire backyard.” She also tells homeowners to look at what the ground below the gazebo is made of. “You want to make sure the structure is solid,” she says. “If it’s concrete, for example, you can drill down into it like a fence and anchor it there. You want it bolted to something secure.” Lillejord also recommends thinking about what your personal style is. “From a beauty point of view, you want to make sure it matches your house and complements your yard,” she says. As in many home renovations, you get what you pay for when it comes to gazebos. “Hollow aluminum tends to crack or dent,” says Lillejord. “The more solid it is, the better it will look later. You want it to have longevity; it’s a more permanent structure.”
Another thing to keep in mind is the wind velocity in your backyard, says Lillejord. While it may not be one of the first things you think of when building a gazebo, it can make a big diff erence when it comes to how secure a structure is. To enhance your backyard living experience and continue spending time outdoors in the cooler months, Lillejord suggests installing a fi re pit in the gazebo. “It’s like adding another room to your house,” she says. “You basically extend your house on a lower budget basis. It dramatically adds to the amount of time you can spend outdoors.” Gazebos are available in a range of styles, from Caribbean-style tiki huts to dramatic Whistler-style timber-frames. If you’re not adept at construction, prepackaged kits can oft en be purchased that will have everything you need. By Kerry Vital

Design for a nursery or child’s room has come a long way since blue for boys and pink for girls.
Decor for the younger set By Kerry Vital If you’re interior designinclined, one of the fun parts of raising a child can be decorating their room, whether it’s designing their nursery or re-decorating a room to suit an older kid who has outgrown their babyish tastes. However, if trendy home decor isn’t high on your priority list, it can be hard to know where to start. “You want timeless pieces that can grow with the child,”

Reviving the 70s with the help of Best Builders Best Builders worked with Sarah Gallop Design Inc. to create a modernized home while still keeping the 70s style the owner wanted. By Kerry Vital Old is new again with Best Builders’ 70s-style project that has more than a touch of retro flair. In partnership with Sarah Gallop Design Inc., Best Builders was able to give the homeowners exactly what they were looking for while sticking to budget and bringing everything in on time. “The homeowner had a specific style in mind,” says Best
Builders owner Todd Best. “It really turned out amazing.” Best notes that the original home was very closed off, with individual rooms instead of open space. He and his team opened up the entire main floor to make it more useable for the entire family. “Now, there’s nowhere in the house that you can’t hear ‘time for dinner!’” Best says. “It’s a complete transformation.” The outdoor space is one of the most spectacular things about the new home, and Best is very proud of it. “The outdoor turf soccer field is built to the same specifications as the (Vancouver) Whitecaps field,” he says. That field can also be turned into a volleyball court by folding away the nets. There is also an outdoor fire pit and new tiered sun deck, among other features. “You never have to leave the house,” says Best, adding that
the homeowner’s children come home with their friends every day and spend hours playing outside. Of course, that’s only when their parents aren’t using it themselves. There is now 2,100 square feet of outdoor living space for the family to enjoy. “We were constantly working with the homeowners,” says Best. “Our guys would be talking to them and giving them new ideas all the time.” Other outdoor additions included new fencing, a new gate and a trellis. The homeowners wanted to keep the 1970s look of the exterior, so Best and his team removed the old cladding, planed it and re-installed it. The aim was to respect the existing

New millwork was
added, including shoe storage in an entry pony wall for extra convenience and flat crown cabinetry that utilizes contrasting white and dark finishes. The master bedroom was moved downstairs and a spa-like ensuite was added, and the kitchen was moved from the centre of the home to the rear wall to create a great room-kitchen combination. A live edge wood bar top is included on the kitchen island for an extra touch of vintage style. The redesigned family room is now the favoured place for the whole family to spend time together, whether it’s doing homework or watching a movie by the fire. “Family comes first to the homeowner,” says Best. “It’s been a very well-received project.” The home has been named a finalist in three categories at the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Ovation Awards, for Best Kitchen and Greatroom Renovation, Best Renovation: $300,000 to $499,999 and Best Outdoor Living Space: New or Renovated. The winners will be named on April 26. “We have a very strong team,” says Best. “We guarantee quality and take great pride in our finishing.”
The soccer pitch was built to the same specifications as the Vancouver Whitecaps field, above, while the exterior, far left, was rebuilt to fit in with the surrounding neighbourhood. Cedar panelling, left, was retained as another 70s-style feature. Ema Peter photos

Light up Your Living Space! Proper lighting can do so much more than simply illuminate a room or outdoor space. In addition to highlight a home’s assets and helping disguise any shortcomings, it can increase function and set a mood, according to Heidi Visser of Design Lighting in Surrey. “We see lighting as jewelry for the home, helping you accessorize your space to your taste,� she said. For 2014, lighting trends have made a blast to the past with a bit of a modern twist. “The Grand Bank linear chandelier from Kichler (see picture) emulates an Old World wrought iron chandelier, but updates it with its unique oval shape and wooden accents,� she said, also noting that orb chandeliers are all the rage right now. “We have many of these on display in our showroom, ranging from a modest 12� in diameter to a grand 40� diameter piece (see photo). Consumers are also investing more in LED light fixtures, she notes. “As the technology advances, customers are starting to see the true value in investing in an LED piece.� As with most industries, high quality tends to come with a higher price tag – lighting is no exception. “You can expect to pay more for a piece that is hand-crafted in
North America or is adorned with real Swarovski crystals,� explained Visser. “However, there are still many fixtures that will fit in even the most modest budget.� In recent years, Visser has seen a huge rise in popularity of exterior decorative lighting fixtures – there are many chandeliers and pendants that are now being made for exterior spaces. “Pendants over an outdoor kitchen space not only provide the task lighting needed to create the perfect culinary masterpiece, they also bring the look and feel of the indoors outside,� she said, noting that larger exterior fixtures are also being used to add drama to the front of the house. “Your front door is usually the first impression one has of your home, so why not dress it up with great light fixtures? A hanging lantern over the front door, wall lanterns on either side, and path lights illuminating your walkway not only add drama, but also provide an excellent source of security.� For those wanting to switch up the look of their living space, Visser provides her top five lighting tips. 1. Size does matter. One of the biggest lighting mistakes is using a fixture that is too small for the room. A rule of thumb when choosing the
correct size fixture is to measure the length and width of your room in feet and add those figures together. The sum, converted to inches will equal the correct sized fixture. So for example, a 10’ x 12’ room would require a 22� fixture. That being said, rules are meant to be broken. There are many other factors that need to be taken into account, so when you come shopping for fixtures, come armed with as many measurements of your room as you can so your lighting consultant can help you pick the right fixture. 2. Consider the use of your room. A dim chandelier over your dining table may be perfect for a dinner party, but if your child uses that same table for doing homework, you want to make sure that there is enough light to complete that task. Therefore, we always recommend that you put your fixtures on a dimmer. Not only will it allow you to control the light and set a mood, it also will help you save on your energy bill. 3. A properly lit room has layers of light. Multiple light sources help balance a room by minimizing glare and shadows, while adding depth and dimension. Ambient, or general lighting provides overall illumination. Task lighting adds brightness to areas where daily activities like studying, cooking or applying makeup are performed.
Accent lighting is used to highlight certain objects or architectural features. 4. Don’t be afraid to mix finishes or styles when it comes to light fixtures. Mixing finishes and styles allows for your personality to shine through and adds visual interest to your space. Also, your light fixtures do not have to match your door knobs or faucets. 5. Mix it up. In the bathroom, consider using sconces or pendants on either side of your mirror instead of a fixture directly above the vanity. This allows light to be evenly distributed across your face, eliminating shadows. For more information on lighting up your living space, visit www.DesignLighting.

FLCC FORTified Will Paddle For Gold In September
When you watch the dragon boats skimming across the water, the paddles silently sweeping to the rhythm of the drum, it all looks smooth and effortless. But when you talk to the people doing the paddling, you get the real story. Fort Langley Canoe Club’s FORTified is training to defend their gold medal title at the Langley 2014 Senior Games to be held in Langley City and Township this fall from September 9th.to 13th. Team Captain Terry Linden, Coach Sandy Ferguson and team members Bhree Young and Reva Berman took time away from their training to talk about the team’s success. “Dragon boating is a great sport to watch,” says Captain Terry,” but a lot of work goes in to making it look effortless. “ This year there will be three Langley dragon boat teams competing in the Seniors Games. Team FORTified is a mixed team, men and women, and the club will also be sending two women’s teams as well. Bhree recalls ten years ago when the dream of building a dragon boat team first surfaced in Langley. “In 2003 -2004 there were just a handful of us and we didn’t even own a boat. But today, we have over 400 members of all ages and six dragon boats. We are even looking to expand our dock and we need more parking.”
F ORTifie d Ph o to s
FLCC FORTified Dragon Boat team adorned with their gold Medals from the 2013 Seniors Games in Kamloops will be defending their title in Fort Langley in September at the 2014 Senior Games.
FORTified was the first seniors team in Langley. “Ben Lee was the first coach to pull it all together,” explains Terry. “In 2008 he had a vision to put together a team of 55+ dragon boaters to compete in the 2009 Seniors Games in Richmond. It was such a positive experience for everyone we started training twice a week and eventually we won gold medals in 2010 in Comox, 2011 in Nelson, and 2013 in Kamloops.” Sandy took over the coaching duties from Ben in 2013. “I was ready to accept the challenge and it is great to be the coach of the defending champs.

We have a great time off the water as well and we are so fortunate in this province that we have so many beautiful places to compete whether it is on the ocean, a river or a lake.

up of 20 paddlers, a drummer and a steersperson. Sandy explains the team logistics. “We take a team of 24 and it is part of the coach’s duties to set the roster and make the team assignments for each heat. We have to use only the 24 members on the roster but we can use different paddlers in each heat. In a mixed team we can only have a maximum of 12 males per boat and we usually have less.” Terry points out that the Captain’s job is to look after any ‘on board issues’, get the team set and structured, and be the important liaison between the team and the coach. “To make it look easy, we all have to work in unison. The paddlers the drummer and the steersperson all have their jobs to do and that’s where the practice comes in. We may do three heats a day over the two days of the games.” Coach Sandy points out the valuable part the steersperson plays on the team. “He’s not just standing on the stern along for the ride. He has to guide us to our starting spot on the course, stabilize the boat until the start, then keep us on a straight line during the race by leaning on a 12 foot steering paddle. It is an important position.” The team hones its’ skills throughout the year by attending other regattas across the province. “Cities like Victoria or continued on next page

Nanaimo can attract over a hundred teams,” explains Terry. “ The Alcan event in False Creek is one of the largest in the world and teams arrive from all over to compete.” “Having the games here in Langley does give us some advantages. We won’t have to travel and we know the local course even though the venue hasn’t been decided yet. It will either be Bedford Channel or by Derby Reach depending on the water levels and the number of teams. Usually we have 4 lanes and the course is 500 metres. We have a protected area here and may have the current behind us which is different from the ocean or on an open lake. Our team consistently completes the 500 metres in just over 2 minutes.” When asked who makes up the team they all smile. Bhree says, “60 is the new 40, we have people from all walks of life here.” The current team 2014 FORTified members are: Bob Anderson, Allen Black, Lois Chatham, Lorna and Jose Costa, Chris Dunne, Jean Homfeld, Judy and Rod Johnson, Karen and Jerry Langley, Linda Li, Kathy Linden, Charles Littledale, John Lyth, Debb and Terry McMullen, Mike Paine, Edna and Peter Pawluk, John Spencer, and Sheila Thomson.
Reva smiles, “I was never a jock. I was too busy raising a family or working . I decided to try this sport out when I was 69 and I have been competing for 11 years, so you do the math. You don’t have to be an athlete to be on a dragon boat team.” Sandy encourages people to come and try out the boats. “We practice at the marina in Fort Langley on Tuesday and Thursday nights from April to September and once a week during the winter. We encourage people 15 years old and up to come for a ride or just sit in the boat and get a feel. It’s easy to get hooked on dragon boating.” Captain Terry agrees. “It is a great workout in the fresh air and we have so much fun. We all remember beating a youth team at False Creek and watching their faces when all the seniors climbed off the boat that had crossed the finish line ahead of them.” The team encourages anyone interested to check out their website at : fortlangleycanoeclub.ca.

Silver Secrets Brookswood Senior Centre Li l i an n e F u l l e r
Langley is lucky to have not one but two senior’s centres. Well known, the Langley Senior’s Resource Centre has many programs and serves a large portion of Langley’s Senior, but there is another centre as well. The Brookswood Senior’s Centre, established in October 1974 by Alice Hood also provides lots of fun, food and special activities for seniors. Hood had a vision for a place where senior’s could get together and enjoy social times and companionship. She started a group that began meeting at the Langley Civic Centre now known as the George Preston Centre. After a year their numbers grew and there was a need for a larger place to meet. “With a little gentle persuasion the Langley municipality agreed to purchase the Mennonite church located on 36 avenue and lease it to the seniors.” said Sheila Stach in her short story: Brookswood Senior’s Centre - A Brief History. By 1982 the membership had grown so much that the existing building needed to be enlarged so fundraising efforts went into high gear. Thanks to the help of individual donors, service clubs and the Langley Legion, $150,000. was raised and the annex was added. The centre is very busy with something happening every day. Activities include Bridge, Pool, Cribbage, Crafts and games. For only a dollar you can drop
...to
WIN
in and enjoy lots of activities and socialization. A year’s membership cost $30.00 and it allows you to take part in all the classes and activities throughout the year. The centre offers classes in Zumba Gold, Fencing, Line Dancing, Crafts and more. Brookswood Senior Centre also welcomes the Food & Friends Program on the first and third Thursday of each month. For just $5.00 you can have a soup and sandwich, dessert and a beverage. In addition each month there is an entertaining speaker. Call Lydia at 604-590-3888 or Bonnie at 604-534-8184 to reserve your seat. The Brookswood Senior’s Centre is part of the BCOAPO (British Columbia Old Age Pensioners Organizations) a group that advocates for the interest of all seniors. Your membership fee gives you a membership with that organization. The centre provides space for many community groups. One group called Paws 2 Dance pairs people with their canines in a form of doggy dressage. Another group is called the Sew & Sews and they hold quiltathons. The Surrey Square Wheelers, a square dancing club also makes the centre their home. In June the Brookswood Senior Centre will be celebrating its 40th anniversary. Various activities will take place over the year. Brookswood Senior Centre located at 19899 - 36th Avenue is one of Langley’s silver secrets. Visit it today. Go to our website & click on Contests

MUSICAL DUO TAKES TOP SPOT IN FOURTH ANNUAL LANGLEY HAS TALENT COMPETITION ROCK BAND AND DANCER ROUND OUT TOP 3 BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
“I guess it was all in the bow tie.” Jesse LeBlanc cracks a joke when asked whether he and his musical partner Kathleen Dunn — collectively, A Guy and A Girl — knew they had a shot at winning the fourth annual Langley Has Talent competition, but the young musicians were left speechless on Saturday night, as they were named the top act and presented with a cheque for $2,500 on stage at Christian Life Assembly. “When our names were first announced, it felt like time stopped as we looked at each other in disbelief,” said LeBlanc. “Between the interviews and congratulations from the audience and our friends, we kept exchanging glances with each other, wide eyed, trying to take it all in,” added Dunn. LeBlanc’s joking reference about his sartorial key to success came after an audience member approached him, following the semifinal competition on March 29, and said he and Dunn were going to win, because he was wearing a bow tie. So, obviously, he made sure he was wearing one again on Saturday night, when the couple performed an uptempo rendition of The Civil Wars’ From This Valley. While they’ve only been playing together for the past 14 months — performing at local coffee houses and churches as well as at TWU, where they both go to school — the couple’s musical ability and their sheer joy in performing were not lost on the judges. Talent agent Jolienne Moore said she could see them still making music together 50 years from now, while musician and clothing designer Leah Emmott commented, “to me, that was perfection.” “We had such a fun time performing and to hear the judges say such positive things was a huge compliment,” said LeBlanc. “I was nervous about the judges’ comments, as we had heard them be pretty tough on the other acts before us,” added Dunn. “But when they reacted with such encouraging comments, we certainly felt both shocked and relieved.” The win offers the couple a perfect jumping off point to one day playing music professionally
and maybe going out on tour this summer. “To start, we are hoping to book some gigs locally, at coffee shops and pubs,” said Dunn. “As Catholics, our main goal is to bring glory to God and bring people His joy through music,” she added. In addition to their $2,500 prize, which the couple will likely put toward the purchase of new instruments, LeBlanc and Dunn also received two hours of recording time at Blue Frog studio and a jewelry package as acknowledgement of their first-place finish. Rock band Quinn and Tonic, meanwhile, put to rest any notion that there is a disadvantage in being the first act to perform in a long competition, taking second place in the contest with an original song titled Howl to the Moon. The judges praised the band’s lead singer for her rich vocal quality, which Emmott described as sultry, while Moore appreciated the group dynamic and its energy, urging them not to hold back in the future. Judge Mike Roberds suggested the band was strong enough that they could have been playing in an arena, rather than the sanctuary of CLA. Second place earned the band a cash prize of $1,500, while Paige McLachlan, a 12-year-old dancer, earned $1,000 prize for her third place finish. She impressed all three judges with the level of emotion she was able to convey through movement. Two $1,500 scholarships to Kwantlen Polytechnic University were also awarded. They went to rapper Josh G. who performed an Eminem mashup of Lose Yourself and Not Afraid, and Hailey Bouey, who gave audiences a soulful reprise of the song she sang during semifinals — Change is Gonna Come. An audience of 600 attended the LHT finals, down slightly from the 700 who filled seats in the Langley church two weeks earlier when 25 acts were narrowed to Saturday’s 13 finalists. Since the four Rotary Clubs of Langley joined forces to begin presenting the annual Langley Has Talent competition in the spring of 2011, the goal has been to shine a spotlight on talented local performers and, in doing so, make a case for the construction of a dedicated performing arts centre in the community.

Langley Players are ready to show their Sensitive side The third and final production of the Langley Players’ 201314 season opens on Thursday, April 17. Light Sensitive, written by Jim Geoghan and directed by Angela Bell, is a bittersweet comedy in which love conquers all, as two lost souls meet in Hell’s Kitchen. Tom is a blind, embittered ex-cabbie who has become reclusive and Edna is a disabled woman who has also isolated herself from the rest of the world. They are brought together when Lou, Tom’s only friend, enlists Edna to take care of Tom. The epic battle of wills and wits that ensues proves, once and for all, that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. “The first time I read this play, I thought it was amazing,”
said Bell. “I laughed through so much of it, and I was genuinely touched as well. “Out of the darkness of what brings them together, come three characters who show us there is light at the end of every tunnel. “I think there’s something inherently uplifting about that,” she said. “This story has something for everyone; good old macho bravado, a battle of the sexes, moments of truth and tenderness, and a healthy helping of humour to accompany us along the journey these characters take. It’s about real life, and real people. “I hope people who come to see this show not only truly enjoy it, but I hope they leave happy, their hearts a little lighter,” added Bell.
Light Sensitive, which will be Langley Players’ entry into the Fraser Valley Zone Festival in May, runs Thursdays to Sundays from April 17 to May 17 at the Langley Playhouse, 4307 200 St. Show times are 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. For reservations call 604-534-7469; email reservations@langleyplayers.com; or buy tickets online at brownpapertickets.com.

Life is on display at the Fort Gallery Lifescapes: Two Perspectives, an exhibit of work by artists Deborah Colvin and Olga Khodyreva, opens on April 16 to May 4 at the Fort Gallery. Colvin is a Coquitlam-based artist whose pen/ink and soft pastel pieces explore Aristotle’s philosophy that “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” In her work, “the fragmentation and repetition of the human form and its parts, serve to draw the viewer into a world of movement, contemplation and a myriad of emotions.” Khodyreva’s pieces, meanwhile,
reflect the artist’s day to day experiences, without belonging to any particular artistic style. This freedom allows the Port Coquitlam artist to express her creativity in the most unadulterated fashion. A meet and greet with the artists will be held on Friday, April 25, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and again on Sunday, April 27, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Fort Gallery, 9048 Glover Rd. The gallery is open each Wednesday to Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Call 604-888-7411 for more information.

BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
It’s 2 p.m. on a Friday, and Becky Lelik has just finished her shift at Starbucks in the Langley Chapters bookstore. Over the past two hours, she has swept floors, emptied garbages and cleaned tables — along with anything else that needed a wipe down. Now, as she sits down clutching a steaming cup of tea, the smile of satisfaction in a job well done is written all over the young Surrey woman’s face. Becky is 22 years old, and this is her first job. She was hired with help from Veronica Cowan, job developer with Milieu Family Services. Based out of North Delta, Milieu provides services to adults with developmental disabilities. For Cowan, that means helping to connect them with potential employers and supporting them by acting as a job coach throughout their first several weeks of work. Since Becky’s first day on the job, nine weeks earlier, Cowan has driven the young woman to and from the store and stayed within easy distance throughout Becky’s shifts. During that time, Cowan has also been slowly removing herself from the picture, while remaining close enough to step in and help if she is needed. The enjoyment Becky gets from making sure her surroundings are spotless and that everything is in its place, makes the Starbucks job an ideal situation for her. “I like to clean,” she said, matter of factly, when asked what she enjoys most about her job. “I learned how to sweep and how to change the garbage can. “And how to tie my apron,” she added, after a small prompt from Cowan. “(Becky) is very friendly and outgoing,” offered Cowan. “She works well with the public. That’s what I want the employer to see. “She doesn’t need to be in the back room, folding cardboard.” Ideally, Becky will gain experience and confidence and eventually be taken on as a regular Starbucks employee. And if all goes as planned, during that time she will become increasingly independent, until Cowan can step out of the picture completely.

Guest musicians Gary Mussatto (drums) and Steve Johnston (bass guitar) will join the chorus for these concerts. Admission: Adults $15; students $10; 12 and under admitted free.

After finishing her shift at the Langley Chapters Starbucks, Becky Lelik (left) sits down for a cup of tea with Milieu Family Services job developer Veronica Cowan. Cowan is hoping other employers will consider hiring a person with a developmental disability. For Cowan, it’s not simply a matter of finding paid employment for people with developmental disabilities — it’s about finding the right fit. “Some clients love to work in a kitchen, so I’m not going to put them in a grocery store,” she said. “I’m going to target employers who offer the opportunity to peel vegetables or to wash and prepare food. “I target employers who meet the needs of the individual.” But finding employers to take part in the program at all, can be a challenge, Cowan admitted. That’s why she spends a portion of her work day visiting area businesses to talk to owners and managers about taking on an employee with special needs. Asked whether she had ever considered hiring someone with a developmental disability before meeting Becky, store manager Michelle Pytlik said she knew it was an option, but had never been approached. It’s a decision she’s happy to have made. “We’re really excited to have
(Becky). She’s so lovely. “She comes in every day with product knowledge and company history that she learns on her own time. “She studies, so that when a customer asks a question, she knows the answer. “Becky has brought such warmth to our store family,” said Pytlik. “We’re really lucky to have her.” It’s not just large corporations like Starbucks that Cowan has her eye on. She’d also like to see mom and pop stores, which may only need help for a few hours a week, consider hiring one of her people. What Cowan is looking for from potential employers is a commitment to a six-week trial period, ideally, with a minimum of two hours of work per week. Enough time, she said, “to prove we can do the job just as well, if not better than others.” Employers who are interested in learning more about Milieu Family Services’ employment program are invited to contact Cowan at 778-438-3045 or to visit the website at milieu.ca.

Figure skater ‘flying’ up the ranks GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s
It is easy to understand why there is such excitement in the stands or on TV when a figure skater lands a beautifully-executed jump on the ice. Just asking the question to a figure skater shows why. The question was posed to Emily Bator, and immediately her eyes got bigger, a smile crossed her lips and she leaned forward in her seat to respond. “It is nothing like I have felt before,” she described. “It is like I am flying, it is unbelievable. “It is the most amazing feeling.” Bator, who turns 18 later this month (April 27), has been on the ice since she was three years old. Her grandmother would take Bator and her younger sister Evelyn (16) to an outdoor rink near their house where they grew up in Grande Prairie, Alta. Bator loved being on the ice, and while she did a bit of ballet growing up, figure skating was her passion. The family moved to B.C. four years ago to Maple Ridge, where Bator met coach Regan Taylor. Figure skating has two streams: recreational and competitive. And since Bator had competed in smaller towns with smaller clubs, she began in the recreational stream. Slowly, Bator began shifting from the recreational stream to the competitive stream, doing both for awhile until completely switching last year. The decision was an easy one to make as she had passed the highest level test at the recreational level and won back-to-back provincial championships. “Plus, I have always been a competitive person and I love working towards something,” Bator said. “Going to competitive was just the next step for me.” Taylor said it is rare for a skater to go from recreational to competitive at this stage of their skating career, and more often it is the other way, a skater shifting from competitive to recreational. “I pointed out that it would be more training and she would get her butt kicked especially at the start because the other skaters had been competitive since they were about 11 and she was 16 at the time so they had much more competitive experience and were much better,” Taylor explained. “But she really stepped up to the plate and took the challenge.” The coach said her pupil’s work ethic, intelligence and the fact she is very coachable are her best traits. “She is a dream to coach because you can challenge her and she rises to the challenge,” Taylor said. And once Bator achieves a goal, she is quick to see what she can do next, never ready to rest on her laurels. When Taylor switched clubs to the Langley Figure Skating Club, Bator followed the coach across the Golden Ears Bridge. Bator calls Taylor one of her biggest influences. “She has her own family but she manages to put so much time and energy into coaching, she is unbelievable,” Bator said. “She has given so much time above and beyond what she is paid for. Her passion is definitely an inspiration.” Bator and the rest of her Langley Figure Skating Club members began the competitive season this past weekend in Parks-
GARY AHUJA L a ngley Time s
Emily Bator of the Langley Figure Skating Club was selected to skate in the Holiday Festival on Ice at the Langley Events Centre in December. The 17-year-old is aiming to one day skate at the international level. ville for the Super Series Vancouver Island Skate International competition. Bator skated to a pair of silver medals. This is the skaters’ first competition as they work towards the provincial championships in November. Bator competes in the junior (under 19) ladies category and placed eighth in 2013. “The goal is to have — by provincials — three or four triples in my program,” she said. “And hopefully a top four finish at provincials.” But just because the season is starting now, doesn’t mean the skaters haven’t been hard at work the past few months. Since January, Bator has been working on the upcoming season, whether it be learning new technical elements, designing the costumes she wears, or even the music she will skate to. This is all done in conjunction with coaches and choreographers. At the junior ladies level, each skater strives to have two or three different kinds of triples in their repertoire. Bator is working on triple salchow, triple toe loop, triple loop and a triple flip and was excited to land her first triple salchow in competition over the weekend. A skater will plot their two programs — the short routine is 2:40 and the long routine is 3:30 plus or minus 10 seconds for each — and each program is built to include one or two jumps that have risk elements that could result in a fall.
“The reason that is done is because if you land everything, a program is not hard enough,” she explained. And falling doesn’t hurt as much as it looks since the skaters ate trained to protect themselves. That doesn’t mean there isn’t potential to get hurt. Twice within a month four years ago, Bator dislocated her knee. And even when she was ready to return physically, there was still the mental hurdle to overcome. “It took me over a year to feel like myself again,” she said. While she has always loved skating, Bator has had her doubts along the way. “Just whether it was worth all the effort because I didn’t think I was getting anywhere,” she explained. “But I ended up pushing through it and right now, I love it more than ever.” Bator, who graduates this June from Maple Ridge Secondary, is off to SFU in the fall, having earned a partial academic scholarship. While she studies, she will continue to skate as she works towards her ultimate dream: skating internationally either for Canada or perhaps Poland. Her parents emigrated to Canada about 10 years before she was born so Bator is eligible to apply to skate for Poland at their national championships.
••• Other results for Langley Figure Skating Club members over the weekend in Parksville included: Mackenna Kerr and Kianna Atash finished one-two in the Star 4 under 10 group 1. Kate Boyes won gold in the Introductory Interpretive and was fifth in Star 4 under 10 group 2. And Evelyn Bator was sixth in senior silver ladies, Katherine Mantel was ninth in Star 5 ladies 13 and over and Diana Hong was 11th in pre-novice short and 15th in the long program.

Kodiaks season comes to end in Cyclone Cup finals GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
A dozen minutes from victory and a gold medal at the Cyclone Taylor Cup provincial junior B hockey championships, the Aldergrove Kodiaks saw their dreams dashed as the Beaver Valley Nitehawks scored four unanswered goals to win 5-2. The two hockey clubs were playing in the finals on Sunday afternoon at the Nelson and District Community Complex. With the victory, the Nitehawks advance to the Western Canadian championships, which run April 17 to 20 at Abbotsford’s MSA Arena. “It was pretty disappointing,” said Kodiaks coach Brad Rihela. “But I couldn’t be more proud of the boys. They gave it everything they had.” Jonathan Philley had put Aldergrove ahead 2-1 2:15 into the third period with a power-play goal but Beaver Valley responded with a man-advantage goal of their own six minutes later. Dallas Calvin would scored twice in a 2:03 span with less than six minutes to play to put the Nitehawks ahead for
good. Mitch Foyle added an empty-net goal to complete the scoring. Rihela said Beaver Valley took over momentum once they tied the score and came at the Kodiaks in waves. And once the Nitehawks took the lead, Aldergrove had their chances, but just could not capitalize. This was the second time Beaver Valley beat Aldergrove at the tournament as the two teams played in the opener on Thursday, a 4-1 Nitehawks victory. Beaver Valley was the Kootenay Junior Hockey League champ while Aldergrove was representing the Pacific Junior Hockey League. In the Kodiaks other games, they beat the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League champion Victoria Cougars 4-1 and then edged the host team, the Nelson Leafs 2-1. The win against the Leafs allowed Aldergrove to edge Nelson for second place in the round robin standings and advance to the gold medal final. Kodiaks captain Kenny Prato and rookie Spencer Unger were tied for the team lead with three points in four games.

Podium placing for Welzin G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Spo r t s
Trevor Welzin did not return home from first trip to the national championships empty-handed. The 15-year-old captured the silver medal in the 69-kg weight class at the cadet/juvenile Canadian championships, which were held earlier this month (April 4-6) in Guelph, Ont. It also helped Welzin fulfill his goal of finding the podium at the event. “That was my goal, to come home with a medal,” he said. Welzin, a Grade 10 student at Brookswood Secondary, wrestles for the Langley United Wrestling Club. The club encompasses students from Brookswood, Langley Secondary, D.W. Poppy and H.D. Stafford. And the silver is the first time a Langley United wrestler has medalled at nationals. There were 32 wrestlers in his weight class and Welzin won his first five matches before falling in the gold medal showdown to Ty Bridgwater of the Matmen (Cambridge, Ont.) This is Weltzin’s third year in the sport and earlier this season, he placed sixth in his class at the B.C. high school wrestling championships. At that event, all the wrestlers are clumped together, regardless of Grade. At nationals, they are split into Grades 9/10 and Grades 11/12. This is his third year in the sport and with his jiu jitsu background — he trains with Steve Hartwig at the Jundokan Langley Karate Dojo — Weltzin thought he would give it a try. “It is fun, good exercise and challenging,” he said, adding that his goal is to find the podium both at provincials and nationals in 2015.

Stealth playoff hopes in trouble after another loss The Vancouver Stealth’s margin for error is almost down to nothing in their bid to make the National Lacrosse League playoffs. The Stealth went on the road and dropped a 10-7 decision to the host Rochester Knighthawks on Saturday at Rochester’s Blue Cross Arena. The result leaves Vancouver at 4-11 on the season and a gameand-a-half behind the Colorado Mammoth (6-10) for the NLL’s third and final playoff spot in the West Division. The Stealth have three games left while Colorado has a pair. Against Rochester, Vancouver had a great start to the game as they jumped ahead 2-0 on goals from Kyle Sorenson and Cliff Smith. But the lead did not last long as the Knighthawks scored three unanswered. The Stealth did recover to lead 4-3 at the half but they failed to score in the third quarter and the Knight-

hawks took the lead for good, going ahead 5-4. Vancouver did briefly tie the score at six midway through the fourth quarter before Rochester closed things out with four of the final five goals. S m i t h and Lewis Ratcliff had two goals and an assist each for the Stealth while Tyler Digby had a goal and two helpers. Brett Bucktooth had a goal and an assist. Matt Roik made 24 saves in the loss while Matt Vinc, the game’s first star, had 40 saves on 47 shots for Rochester. The Stealth host the Philadelphia Wings (5-11) on April 19 at the Langley Events Centre (7 p.m.). They close out the regular season with games against the top two teams in the division, in Edmonton (15-1) on April 25 and at home to Calgary (10-6) on April 26. By comparison, Colorado’s remaining two opponents are a combined 9-23 on the season.
