Driver escapes car-train collision with relatively minor injuries WOMAN PANICKED AND FROZE ON TRACKS AFTER SEEING TRAIN MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
A 49-year-old Vancouver woman got away mostly unscathed after a train hit her vehicle on the railway tracks at Glover Road and Smith Crescent during the busy afternoon rush hour on Thursday. The woman was airlifted to hospital but has no broken bones or major injuries and is expected to make a full recovery, said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks.

According to the train engineer, it appears the woman drove onto the tracks, saw the oncoming train, panicked and froze. It was raining heavily at the time. The driver was the lone occupant of the vehicle. Witnesses to the collision, which happened just after 5 p.m., said the eastbound vehicle did not stop at the stop sign at the uncontrolled railway crossing, and was struck by the northbound train. The car was sent into the ditch and

didn’t appear to have a lot of damage. Glover Road was closed at Smith Crescent for about an hour, while the stopped train blocked several crossings in the Milner area, disrupting traffic in the area. This is the second train-vehicle collision in Langley in less than a month. On the morning of April 10, a dump truck collided with a CN freight train east of Fort Langley. The driver of the truck survived his injures.
A Langley farmer is trying to avoid paying a $138,000 fine for the fatal workplace accident that killed three men and left two others permanently brain-damaged. Ha Qua Truong was turned down when he went before a Surrey Provincial Court judge last month and applied to have the fine set aside on the grounds that his company, H.V. Truong Ltd. is out of business following the sale of the mushroom farm, and is unable to pay. The judge told Troung cancelling the fine was beyond his jurisdiction. It is not know if Troung intends to appeal to a higher court. In 2008, when a pipe burst in a shed used to mix gypsum, chicken manure and water, it released toxic levels of hydrogen sulphide gas that killed farmworkers Ut Tran, Han Pham and Jimmy Chan. Two men, Tchen Phan and Michael Phan survived, but suffered severe brain damage. As part of a plea bargain, a Surrey judge imposed fines of $350,000 against Van Thi Truong, Ha Qua Truong, Thinh Huu Doan and the companies they operated — A-1 Mushroom Substratum Ltd. and H.V. Truong Ltd. A-1 Mushroom Substratum Ltd. went bankrupt without paying its share of $230,000. Of the three smaller personal fines, two have been paid in full, one in part. Earlier this year, it was revealed that some of the evidence uncovered about the deaths could not be used because WorkSafe BC investigators had violated the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Langley ceremonies mark national Day of Honour T WO LA NG L EY SO L D I E RS PAID ULT I M AT E PR I C E G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Re po r t e r
A short ceremony, complete with the laying of a wreath at the Douglas Park cenotaph, was held on Friday afternoon as part of the National Day of Honour. The Canadian government set aside the day to mark the contributions and sacrifices of the 40,000 Canadian troops who were deployed in Afghanistan, following the Sept. 11, 2001 Al-Qaeda attack on the United States. The Taliban government of Afghanistan had sheltered Al-Qaeda. Two Langley soldiers, Master Cpl. Colin Bason and Pvt. Garrett Chidley, were among the 158 Canadians killed in action in the country, during the deployment of the Canadian military there from 2001 until 2014. The final Canadian troops pulled out of Afghanistan earlier this year. The event was held by the City of Langley and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 21, with Langley MP Mark Warawa, the Langley City Fire Department, and members of both the armed forces and the public also in attendance. “We couldn’t have done it over there, internationally, if we didn’t have the support back home,” said Lieut.-Col. Doug Poitras, the commanding officer of the Royal Westminster Regiment. He spoke at the event and was accompanied by Warrant Officer Trevor Avey, of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. They represented the two regiments whose Langley members made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan. Master Cpl. Bason was a member of reserves with the Royal Westminster Regiment. He was killed on July 4, 2007. when his vehicle hit a roadside bomb. Pte. Chidley died along with four others, including journalist Michelle Lang of the Calgary Herald, on Dec. 31, 2009. The armoured vehicle they were riding in struck an improvised explosive device (IED) in the Kandahar district, where most of the Canadians died. Pte. Chidley, who graduated from Langley Secondary in 2006, was a member of the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry.
On Friday evening, another Day of Honour ceremony took place at the Walk to Remember plantation in the Derek Doubleday Arboretum, adjacent to Langley Airport. Langley Township Councillor Steve Ferguson was master of ceremonies, and Langley Township firefighters served as a guard of honour around the memorial, which contains the names of all 158 soldiers killed in Afghanistan. Trees to commemorate each one have been planted, as part of a project which got underway thanks to FR A NK B UC HOLT Z Langley Time s the initiative of Langley teens Elizabeth and A flag that flew over the Peace Tower in Ottawa now flies at the Walk to Remember memorial to those killed in the Canadian mission to Afghanistan, at the conclusion of Friday’s National Day of Honour ceremony there. The Walk to Remember is Michael Pratt. The teens’ father located at the Derek Doubleday Arboretum, next to Langley Airport. spoke at the event, as Elizabeth is now living in Calgary and Michael was sick and unable to attend. The guard of honour, MP Warawa, and other attendees marched to the site from a parking lot off Fraser Highway, led by piper Joe McDonald. At the Walk to Remember, four trees have also been planted in commemoration of the four civilians (including Ms. Lang) who were killed as part of the Canadian mission in Afghanistan. Warawa noted in his remarks that Canada is very proud of all who took part in the Afghan mission, and despite many setbacks, Afghanistan has improved as a result of Canadians being there for so long. In particular, he cited how girls are now able to get an education in most parts of the country. Under the Taliban rule, girls were not allowed to attend school. He said the Afghan mission, the longest military engagement in Canadian history, will long be remembered in all GA RY A HUJ A Langley Time s parts of the country Led by Langley City Councillor Rosemary Wallace, a moment of silence was held as part of the National — with files from Frank Day of Honour ceremony held on Friday afternoon at the Douglas Park cenotaph.

Thief was a no-show for Erin MAN WHO STOLE POWER WASHING GEAR FAILED TO TURN OUT FOR COURTORDERED CHARITY WORK MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Under monsoon-like conditions, Langley’s Erin Kreiter met the off-duty police officers who have been volunteering their weekends to help her. The officers from Burnaby, Delta and Langley braved the pouring rain on Sunday, May 4, to powerwash a private school in Surrey, with the proceeds going to Kreiter — a 28-year-old woman whose career in science was interrupted when she was paralyzed by a rare neuromuscular disorder. “There’s even more officers jumping on board because they want to help too,” said retired Langley RCMP officer John Gould, whose company, Dominion Power Washing, is supplying the commercial-grade pressure washers for the “Friends 4 Erin” initiative. He came up with the idea to help the Kreiters after running into Erin and her father, a former colleague at the Langley detachment. But Erin had hoped to meet another person at the volunteer event. In an unexpected turn of events, a man who stole $11,000 worth of Gould’s power washing equipment a few years ago while

tencing the 38-year-old, of no fixed address, to release him on the condition he would do powerwashing for Erin, rather than go to jail. The judge agreed and it was expected that he was to show up or go to jail. He is now facing immediate arrest, as he did not show up. With a lengthy criminal history, Gould was hoping this might be the change the guy needed. “We had hoped, but it just isn’t going to happen for him,� said Gould. Now Gould is back focused on helping Erin, and his weekends are filling up with work. For $150, Langley residents (and only Langley residents) can arrange to have the off-duty officers powerwash outside commercial building sidewalks or parking lots — weekends only. One hundred per cent raised will go to help Erin and her family, Gould said. Since The Times featured this story a couple weeks ago, Gould said he has been “buried in work.� “We will be doing this all summer — there is no end date,� he said. More than $1,000 was raised in one weekend of work, recently, he said. Even after the record-breaking rainfall, a Burnaby RCMP officer emailed his colleagues saying what a great experience it was to meet Erin and to help out, giving so little time of himself for so much return, said Gould. Just over a year ago, after a sudden illness, the 28-year-old Kreiter was forced to give up working on cancer research at the University of Alberta. She was diagnosed with Myasthenia gravis, which left her a quadriplegic confined to a wheelchair, unable to breathe unassisted and requiring 24 hour care. Gould is a friend of Kreiter’s father, Sgt. Tim Kreiter, who is currently on leave from his job with the serious crime section to look after his daughter. The main floor of the Kreiter family home in Langley has been renovated to add a wheelchair-accessible bedroom and special bathroom, as well as wider hallways, doors and ramps, a bed lift and specialized bed. Gould was given three years to live after he was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer. Thanks to a bone marrow transplant from a 20-year-old donor from Germany, a grateful Gould is now in complete remission. “I just want to pay it forward,� he said.

Accused arsonist in court, remains in custody MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter
The Langley man accused of trying to kill his estranged wife and two children by setting fire to their Willoughby-area home last month made an appearance in Surrey Provincial Court on Monday. Andre Harvey Richard faces three counts of attempted murder, as well as charges of arson, break and enter and breaching a restraining order. 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. He has remained behind bars since his arrest. He makes his next court appearance on May 27.

Richard is accused of going to his wife’s home around 1 a.m. on April 2 and setting fire to it, before entering her bedroom and assaulting her with a pair of weapons. When the couple’s 14-year-old daughter tried to intervene, police say she was also assaulted. The three victims managed to escape the burning home and fled to a neighbour’s house, where 911 was called. A manhunt began. Richard was arrested in Fernie, B.C., near the Alberta border, more than 24 hours later. At the time, police said they had been to the home several times for domestic violence. Since this tragic situation, the community has come together to support the Cella family and gift cards and cash have
The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) has sent a report to Crown Counsel in connection to an unmarked RCMP cruiser hitting a vehicle, seriously injuring one person. IIO Chief Civilian Director Richard Rosenthal made the decision to forward the report to Crown to decide if charges should be laid in the crash that saw four people injured. According to the RCMP, on June 23, 2013, at approximately 2:01 a.m., officers in Langley were responding to a complaint and were travelling southbound
on 200 Street. The unmarked police vehicle collided with a civilian vehicle that reportedly pulled out of Brydon Crescent, just north of 53 Avenue in Langley City. The driver of the civilian vehicle suffered serious injuries and was transported to hospital. Two passengers as well as an RCMP officer were also taken to hospital with injuries. The IIO was notified at 2:53 a.m. and four IIO investigators were called in. The 35-year-old driver remained in hospital with serious injuries. But his 33-year-old
passenger was released from hospital a short time after the crash. The officer involved was also treated in hospital and released. The Chief Civilian Director does not make a recommendation on whether charges should be approved or what charges Crown Counsel should consider. In approving charges, the Criminal Justice Branch must be satisfied not only that an offence may have been committed, but that the commission of an offence can be proven in court beyond a reasonable doubt.

Legal action over TWU law school DA N FERGU SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r
Trinity Western University has announced it will take legal action against opponents of its new law school. The Langley-based private Christian university issued a statement last Tuesday that it will be going to court in B.C. Ontario, and Nova Scotia. TWU said it will be seeking court orders overturning decisions by the Law Society of Upper Canada (LSUC) and the Nova Scotia Barristers Society (NSBS) that would prevent Trinity law school graduates from practicing law in Ontario and Nova Scotia. The university said it will also apply to present arguments in the B.C. court application by Toronto lawyer Clayton Ruby to overturn the December 2013 approval of the law school by the B.C. government. At issue is a clause forbidding “sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman,” in the community covenant that all staff and students at the university are expected to abide by. Critics say the clause is anti-gay and conflicts with a lawyer’s responsibility to uphold the rights and freedoms of all persons. The TWU press release said the issue is one of religious freedom. “The decisions in Ontario and Nova Scotia impact all people of faith across Canada,” said TWU President Bob Kuhn. “Their conclusions must be challenged.” Kuhn, an Abbotsford lawyer, guided TWU in a court battle over the same issue with the B.C. College of Teachers in 2001. The case involved the College of Teachers’ refusal to allow the university to assume full responsibility for its teacher training. In an 8-1 ruling, the Supreme Court of Canada declared that that TWU “is a private institution that is exempted, in part, from the B.C. human rights legislation and to which the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not apply.” “TWU is now being forced to re-litigate an issue that was decided in its favour,” Kuhn said last Tuesday. TWU said it plans to open the new school of law in September of 2016.

Question langeytimes.com
Justin Trudeau promised, after being selected federal Liberal leader in 2013, that there would be open and democratic contests for Liberal nominations all across Canada. This was in contrast to previous Liberal leaders, notably Jean Chretien, who decided to appoint candidates in numerous ridings, rather than let local Liberal members actually selecet the candidate they wished to represent them. It all sounded good. But when the rubber met the road, and candidates were actually being selected, the true facts about how candidates were chosen started to emerge. In one Toronto riding, where a byelection has just been called, Trudeau barred the wife of the former MP in that riding from running — in that riding, and in any other. No reasons, other than the fact that Trudeau had a “star” candidate in mind, seemed apparent. Last week, Trudeau announced that no one who opposed abortion would be allowed to seek a Liberal nomination across the country. This despite the fact that several current Liberal MPs are pro-life (they were grandfathered), and several former pro-life members had considered seeking nominations. Trudeau declared that the matter of abortion is “settled,” despite the fact that there has been no abortion law since 1988 and an attempt to pass a new law, based on a Supreme Court decision, died on a tie vote in the Senate in 1990. It’s “settled,” in that politicians won’t consider a new law. But the public aren’t quite as one-sided on the issue. The Liberal Party supports abortion, and has endorsed it at a recent policy convention. However, personal beliefs about abortion are often based on religious faith, and Trudeau in effect has said that people with that faith position are incomplete, and inadequate as candidates. It is another troubling attack on freedom — and it’s coming from the son of the prime minister who brought in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which explicitly guarantees Canadians freedom of religion. Trudeau the Younger has shown that freedom is only selectively guaranteed by his party.

Province listens they
Apathy in the political process has reached an all-time high in recent years, with the perception that elected representatives are not really listening to public concerns. But there was evidence last week that the provincial government is heeding public feedback, on two currently contentious issues at least. An all-party committee of MLAs has unanimously supported a proposal from Finance Minister Mike de Jong that henceforth all B.C. politicians will publish their expense receipts — including food, travel and accommodation — online. The proposal, clearly a response to the flap over legislature Speaker Linda Reid’s expenses — including nearly $5,500 in business-class air travel for her spouse, since repaid — elicited a few grumbles from NDP MLAs over the work involved in backing all expenses with receipts. But it seems MLAs overall agreed with de Jong’s assessment that steps need to be taken to restore public trust, after recent “unreasonable” expense abuses in B.C. and beyond. Meanwhile Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has apparently taken note of written feedback from B.C. residents in amending the proposed Bill 24, which would make changes to the province’s Agricultural Land Reserve. The contentious two-zone provision remains, dividing ALR land into one area (Metro Vancouver, Vancouver Island and the Okanagan) where farmland would be protected from non-agricultural development and another (essentially the rest of B.C.) where farmers might have options to invite in ‘value-added’ industries that could include oil and gas development. But there are indications that the impassioned words of many regarding both the need for food security in the province and a long-term commitment to preserving agricultural land have been noted and reflected in amendments. — Campbell River Mirror

Time for a health assessment on coal trains Editor: With respect to The Times article (April 22) “New rail overpasses not enough, Township report warns,” it is incumbent on all of us to be aware of several aspects of this issue. 1 - The general cost of overpasses is approximately $10 million, if no exits are involved. They are closer to $40 million with exits. 2 - Langley already has, as everyone knows, a lot of trains. (Editor’s note— About 14 to 16 per day). 3 - The proposal by Port Metro Vancouver re the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 project may double the number of trains, according to the article. 4 - Additionally, the trains already coming through Langley include a considerable number of coal trains, coming from the interior, carrying metallurgical (steel-making) coal. 5 - A proposal to bring U.S. thermal coal into our region to Fraser Surrey Docks is being considered by Port Metro Vancouver, which refuses to hold full public hearings or to conduct a full health impact assessment (HIA), supported by our regional health officers (Dr. Paul Van Buynder and Dr. Patricia Daly, and Dr. Perry Kendall). 6 - The most recent study on the same coal and trains which would come to Fraser Surrey Docks, over the health risks of thermal coal, was done in the U.S. (Professor Dan Jaffee, University of Washington) and it suggests that air quality and health implications of diesel and coal dust are potentially substantial, with no level considered acceptable, according to our medical health officers at Fraser and Vancouver health. See http://www.king5.com/news/environment/coal-trains-air-quality-study--230491511.html 7 - The issue is not about the importance of coal to our economy, even though actual jobs created from container or coal trains are quite small in number. Don’t we owe it to the communities and the health of their school children to at least have a proper HIA, before we approve more coal or container trains coming through the region? Currently Fraser Surrey Docks is awaiting a decision by Port Metro Vancouver which will likely say yes. The docks want to ship U.S. thermal coal (for electricity in Asia, not
the same as Canadian metallurgical coal for steel). While jobs at the docks are good ones, the proposal would result in about 15 jobs. U.S. laws require a full two- to three-year environmental review process for such proposals. We have no such laws here in Canada. The current federal government gutted them. Three U.S. coal export proposals along the U.S. Pacific Coast are currently awaiting this review. The closest just south of Blaine would see shipment of 49 million tons of coal per year, making it the largest in North America. Langley Township council, several months ago, showed leadership in joining eight other local municipalities and six school boards, in supporting a call for the full HIA. Port Metro Vancouver and Fraser Surrey docks have been reluctant to engage, fearing the results. They conducted an environmental review in November which was roundly criticized by our health officers for failing to properly assess health implications. It strikes me that, for health let alone future environmental concerns, we at least should support such a full and independent assessment, which by law would have to be paid by the proponent before the coal shipment proposal goes ahead. I know there will be many crying NIMBY and saying why do we need to support such an assessment, when we have not had one before? Plus, why should what happens in Fraser Surrey docks be of concern to us here? Well, that is the same sort of argument which the tobacco industry used in the 1960s. There are 100 Surrey, Delta, Burnaby, Richmond and New Westminster schools within the five to seven-kilometre range of the coal dust and diesel particulates. And there are approximately 30 schools within this range of the tracks in Langley. As a parent, would it not be at least helpful to have an idea of what an assessment, albeit re Fraser Surrey Docks, suggests about health implications of coal trains? Our Langley council certainly thinks so. How about MP Mark Warawa and our school board,
D A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s
Coal trains go through Langley daily, and there has been no health impact assessment on their effect. Reader Steven Faraher-Amidon believes such an assessment would be warranted. which, so far, thinks the effect of coal dust and diesel particulates to not be of significant consequence for the health of school children to support the call for a full HIA? As a parent, I know I have lots of questions and, so far, not very many answers — which is why I support a full HIA before this decision is made. We have many coal trains coming through here, would we not benefit from knowing what an HIA says about health impacts (within 5-7 kms) of coal trains? The sooner the better. All of us, kids and adults alike, deserve a proper health assessment before they go ahead with this, and our medical health professionals agree. STEVEN FARAHER-AMIDON, CLOVERDALE
Trees need our protection
Vigorous debate over tree-cutting
Editor: I understand that the newspaper needs to print both sides of any issue, but the recent letter “Focus on property rights,” (The Times, April 22), frankly frightened me. Clearly there are many strictly enforced bylaws in place already, which restrict what an owner is allowed to do on their private property. These include the building codes, illegal activities, the amount of people, livestock and pets allowed, junk and chemical storage, garbage dumping and burning. It is certainly not a free-for-all simply because you hold the mortgage. Trees are essential to the life of the planet and desperately need our protection. They are not a crop which grows back yearly and is harvested and sold for consumption. As for the fire threat, it is ridiculous to compare Kelowna to Langley. The environment and type of trees are completely different. I beg council to do what’s right and implement a tree law with large fines and strict enforcement for all lot sizes, including acreage. In a perfect world no healthy, mature tree would ever face destruction. Can we not learn from past mistakes and leave a liveable environment for generations to come? Trees provide health benefits, shade, shelter, privacy, bird habitats (many, like owls, woodpeckers and other raptors need large trees) and of course, beauty.
Editor: Lately I’m reminded of the old Joni Mitchell song, Big Yellow Taxi: “Don’t it always seem to go, that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone? They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.” As a candidate for Langley Township council in this fall’s municipal election, I find myself in the middle of a vigorous debate about tree cutting. On one side is a vocal and active group whose members are outraged at what they see as the rampant destruction of local trees by residential developers and other landowners. On the other side of the argument are a growing number of equally upset homeowners who see proposed restrictions on tree cutting as a threat to their fundamental rights. Of course, there’s one thing we can all agree on, and that’s a shared, passionate interest in preserving the natural beauty of this great community. Luckily, past political leaders have respected that interest. Back in 1979, Township council adopted the Langley Official Community Plan, which has evolved since then to include detailed development guidelines and provisions for protecting wildlife habitat. For example, all new development proposals must include “tree protection plans that consist of tree retention, protection and replacement details acceptable to the Township.” On private lands, protection of wildlife habitat “shall be encouraged through land stew-

ardship, education, incentives or other means.” That’s as far as the policy goes, and where the current controversy begins. As our community continues to grow, we have finally reached a point where we need to consider “other means” to protect the natural beauty we all value. It’s time for a new Township bylaw that lays out rules related to cutting trees. I am not in favour of “pocket” bylaws, especially any that are created on the fly. They are too important and affect every resident. The Township of Langley is a large community and our council needs to create bylaws that are thoughtful, practical and concise, and are equally applied to everyone in the community, not just one neighbourhood. I sympathize with residents who fear that large-scale tree removal threatens the unique character of their neighbourhoods and impacts their quality of life. I also agree with homeowners who want to extend a deck, build a shed or cut down a tree in their own yard without having to take out a permit or hire an arbourist before getting approval to do so. Most of our surrounding cities and municipalities have tree bylaws, some more stringent than others. Our council needs to look to them as examples and seek advice and input before creating the right bylaw for our community. We also have to make sure we have a sound, affordable process to enforce the bylaw in a way that’s consistent and fair. No one wants to pave paradise. And no one needs poorly thought-out rules and senseless bureaucracy. The question is, how can we protect the unique character of our neighbourhoods without placing an excessive burden on the people who live there? For me, the answer is clear. We need to involve and engage our community in an informed, inclusive, thorough discussion that leads to an appropriate tree bylaw for the Township of Langley. That bylaw, if it’s done right, will be a set of common-sense rules that everyone can understand and abide by. I look forward to playing an active role in that process, and I encourage everyone who has a stake in the outcome to do the same. ANGIE QUAALE, LANGLEY

Editor: While I feel for the Willougby parents whose children do not have access to a school in their community and face a commute across town, I also think it’s time that the Langley school trustees begin to look at better utilization of Langley schools and not just ask for more money for new schools. Without question we need more seats for Langley students. It’s high time to revisit some of the “designated” or “choice” schools like the Langley Fine Arts School, which has a significant student population from out of Langley School District. It could accommodate local high school students. We feel for Willoughby as a growing number of resident Fort Langley children are on a “wait list” to attend the school right here in town. In the interim, they are bussed, at their parents’ expense, 40 minutes away to D.W. Poppy. Designated schools in Langley School District are a luxury that our public school funds can no longer sustain, particularly when Langley students are denied first access. A good start must involve focusing on Langley schools for Langley students. CAROLYN MACLAREN, FORT LANGLEY

FA S H I O N H I S T O RY E X H I B I T AT L A N G L E Y C E N T E N N I A L M U S E U M E X A M I N E S T R E N D S A N D INFLUENCES ON WOMEN’S CLOTHING STYLES IN THE 1920S AND ’30S. BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
An article of clothing says as much about the time it was worn as it does about the woman who wore it. In the early decades of the 20th century, for example, contemporary architectural design and current events worked their way into the fabric and cuts of clothing worn by the most fashionable women on Canada’s west coast. From classic evening gowns to day wear, coats, quirky purses and shoes, visitors to the Langley Centennial Museum are invited to step into a sartorial time machine until Aug. 4, as Vancouver fashion historians Ivan Sayers and Claus Jahnke exhibit some of their most iconic pieces, in Art Deco Chic: Women’s Fashion of the 1920s & 1930s. The exhibit, which opened on May 10 in the museum’s gallery at 9135 King St. in Fort Langley, includes 35 principal garments, pooled from the men’s respective collections, along with a number of accessories which were popular during the Roaring ’20s and Dirty ’30s. On June 1, Sayers will augment the exhibit with a pair of Art Deco Fashion Shows, presented at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the Fort Langley Community Hall. During the shows, Sayers will offer not only examples of period clothing, but plenty of humorous insight into what was happening in society at the time that dictated what women chose to wear. In fashion as in architecture, the Art Deco movement reduced the body to its simplest geometric form — a column, or when represented in two dimensions, a flat rectangle. Figures that had been exaggerated with corsets and padding at the turn of the century were now hidden under loose-fitting, sack-like garments in the chemise style in the 1920s. Among the examples from the era included in the museum exhibit is a lemon yellow, knee-length sleeveless dress, with a fringed skirt. The fabric of the skirt’s layers is cut into dozens of rectanglar strips, with each piece meticulously covered in glass beads. In order to display the dress, support tape was sewn in to hold the weight of the beading in the skirt. Without the straps, the shoulder seams would eventually give way, explained Sayers. While no doubt cumbersome to wear, the heavily weighted skirts were designed for maximum swing, as young flappers danced their way across the floor to the Charleston and the Lindy Hop. Within the beadwork of many of the fanciest dresses in the show is an unmistakable homage to the architecture of the time, with patterns
that are reminiscent of Vancouver’s Marine Building and New York’s famed Empire State building. Through the 1920s, dresses gradually became closer fitting and hemlines rose. Although the figure was still virtually invisible, the exposure of the legs added a provocative element to clothing that was otherwise asexual. In the 1930s the natural figure re-emerged, but in fashions that echoed the repeated geometry of the Art Deco style. Among the pieces on display from the early ‘30s, is an orange suit worn by an American woman who was studying astronomy in Vienna. She kept it because it was what she was wearing the day she met Albert Einstein. Another of the stars of the show is a black knee-length 1928 Chanel that was featured in both British and German Vogue. It was even used as the image on greeting cards. When it comes to Chanel, there are knockoffs — and knockoffs of knockoffs — out there, said Jahnke. But the one on display is the real thing. It goes without saying, it won’t be in the fashion show. “We’d never show this on a human. It’s too valuable and too fragile,” said Jahnke. While most of the pieces were found in the collections of Vancouver and Victoria women, one of the articles in the exhibit has a local connection. A burgundy wool coat with black fur trim, from the 1930s, belonged to an Aldergrove woman whose father repaired watches for Birks. It’s unusual to find a daytime coat in coloured material worn during the Depression, he said, because neutral shades which could be worn anywhere and with anything were favoured. When it comes to the garments, though many of them are striking to look at, it’s the stories that are often the most interesting part, said Jahnke. “For most people who collect, it is ‘how do I look in this and how does it fit?’ “For us, it’s the history that brings it to life.” ••• Art Deco Vintage Fashion Shows at the Fort Langley Community Hall on June 1 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Admission is $20 per person, and tickets, which must be purchased in advance, are available from the museum. Call 604-532-3536. Learn more at museum.tol.ca. Art Deco Chic: Women’s Fashions of the 1920s & 1930s, runs until Aug. 4 at the Langley Centennial Museum, 9135 King St. in Fort Langley.

It’s free, painless, and the smallest amount can make a world of difference. It’s kindness — and Pat Weibelzahl of You’ve Gotta Have Friends, is hoping that Langley residents will give generously this month. YGHF will host a ‘Kindness Connects’ week, from May 2630, but the organization’s goal is that the sentiment will continue throughout the rest of the year. “(Kindness) feels good for everyone and it’s the first step toward friendship,” said Weibelzahl, co-coordinator of the non-profit community-based organization that looks for opportunities to promote connections and inclusion within the Langleys. “This year, our focus is on heightening the awareness of how kindness connects people and encourages a stronger sense of inclusion and belonging in our community.” Along with her colleague, Janice McTaggart, Weibelzahl joined YGHF eight years ago. In that time, she’s met numerous people who are isolated and without connections in the community. It might be that they are new in town, recently divorced, aging or perhaps they’ve had an accident. “Their supports fall away and it’s difficult to connect,” she said. A lot of the people who come to YGHF events have developmental disabilities, noted Weibelzahl.
“That’s a whole other ball game. They may have a caregiver and family, but no friends.” Working under the auspices of the Langley Association for Community Living, YGHF is funded through the United Way, community grants and private donations. Each Wednesday and Friday, YGHF opens its doors in McBurney Lane from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. People are invited to stop by for a visit and maybe meet some potential new friends. “It gets loud and rowdy in here,” chuckled Weibelzahl. “We like to have fun. It’s part of our actual mandate.” YGHF also offers a full calendar of events each month. Community members are invited to take part in a supper club, a book club, group breakfasts, youth gatherings and a men’s group, to name just a few opportunities. The agency also organizes social outings. A visit to a quilt show and the bloom market are among the events scheduled for May. Weibelzahl wants to see You’ve Gotta Have Friends’ spirit of inclusivity, coupled with genuine good will, spread throughout the wider community. During Kindness Connects
week, they will be at local businesses, giving away stickers and raising awareness. “We hope to have up to 20 organizations/businesses on board where we will spend an hour or two greeting people and handing out stickers,” Weibelzahl said. “We’ll approach business and ask them to allow us to be there and spread awareness. “It’s pretty simple actually,” she said. “We want to get people to be mindful. It doesn’t cost anything to be kind.” The week’s events will wrap up with a dance in McBurney Plaza, featuring live music from The Timewalkers, on Friday evening, May 30, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. During Kindness Connects week, YGHF and the Langley Times are inviting members of the public to share their own true stories about acts of kindness by writing a letter. Letters can be dropped off at the You’ve Gotta Have Friends office, located at 20510 Fraser Hwy. in McBurney Lane, or emailed to yghf@telus.net. Please tag the letters “Kindness Connects.” They will be published in the Langley Times print edition and posted on the newspaper’s website and Facebook page during Kindness Connects week.

COLUMNIST’S HOPE FOR HER DAUGHTERS IS TH AT THEY WILL EMBRACE THE ATTRIBUTES THAT SET THEM APART FROM THEIR PEERS For Molly’s first ballet class I was a little ill prepared — a fact I didn’t really realize until I took a seat next to the other moms and dads. While all of the other little girls sported beautiful perky tutus, brand new tights and adorable silk slippers, my little munchkin stuck out like a sore thumb. Chunky pink boots, loose-fitting purple leggings, tutu from too-too long ago and a rock t-shirt weren’t exactly prima ballerina attire. In my defense, both Molly and her sister were sick leading up until the start of her class — wild horses couldn’t drag my butt to the store with two cranky kids. Luckily, Molls couldn’t care less about not being in the proper garb, nor did her new gal pals. She rocked her outfit loud and proud as she pirouetted, pointed her wee toes and pranced around the room. I had never felt more proud to watch my tiny dancer be so uninhibited, so free. At that moment I wished for her to always be so content with being different. Had I learned to do so at her age, I’m sure it would have saved a lot of heartache over the years.

Cool jazz at Porter’s Bistro DAWN AITKEN AND FRIENDS PERFORM MAY 16 BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
Dawn Aitken would like to take you on a musical journey. The Langley singer will present an evening of eclectic, smooth jazz on Friday, May 16 at Porter’s Bistro and Coffee House in Murrayville. Aitken, who moved to Langley two years ago, will be joined by Bill Sample on piano, Rene Worst on bass and Buff Allen on drums. Like the selections on her independent jazz CD, Be Cool, Aitken’s Murrayville performance will offer a mix of styles, said the singer. “I’m a horse of a different colour. I don’t really fit in to any particular category.” From The Nearness of You to Love Potion #9 and Somewhere over the Rainbow, Be Cool contains a dozen tunes, all performed in Aitken’s sultry and unhurried style. Discussing the disc’s first track, “The Nearness Of You” Jazz Review’s John Gilbert described the piece as

“languid in form and hot in substance. “Aitken wrings the bottom out of the notes on this ballad. She spins the lyrics beautifully and the melody is artfully adhered to with a few twists and turns that only add to the sensitivity of this sweet tune, wrote Gilbert. Be Cool was produced in B.C. in the early 2000s, with some of the top players in the Vancouver area and was touted as a strong first effort for an indepen-
dent artist, said Aitken, who will sell copies of the disc at her Porter’s performance. The concert marks a return to the stage after a long hiatus. “The demands of raising a child alone made continuing with my career here in B.C. very difficult and I had to step away for a few years,” said Aiken, now happily remarried and a grandmother of two. “But it is my sincere hope that I will have the opportunity to pick up where I left off.”
After putting out a few feelers in the area and finding little success, Aitken finally managed to convince the bistro owner to take a chance on her. “It took me a while to get in there,” she said. “I wandered in and hassled him for about a year. But the singer is excited at the prospect of performing for the Langley audience. “It’s the first step on the road to getting back to music,” she said. “I love to sing and I’m pretty good at it. “It’s going to be a good night and I’d like to invite Langley to come out and enjoy it.” ••• Dawn Aitken and Friends will perform as part of Porter’s Live Music & Dinner Weekend on Friday May 16, at 6:30 p.m. To reserve, call 604530-5297.

Poppy playing for Valley title G A RY A HUJA Time s Spo rts

D.W. Poppy Redhawks’ Casey Wade knifes through the Southridge Storm defence during the Fraser Valley tier 1 AA senior boys rugby semifinals on May 8 at Poppy Secondary. The Redhawks won 24-0 to advance to the Fraser Valley title game tomorrow (Wednesday) in Abbotsford against the G.W. Graham Grizzlies.
The D.W. Poppy Redhawks are not just content on making an appearance in their second goround at the provincial high school Double-AA championships later this month. The senior boys squad made the tournament and placed 16th in 2013. The result is not surprising, considering that when the group first got together in Grade 9, only two players had played the game before. “We were literally years behind many of the schools we were competing against,” said Mike Munsie, who coaches the team alongside Kyle Barry. “The hard work, dedication and love of the game that they have shown has allowed them to become a successful team despite that barrier.” The Redhawks booked a return ticket to provincials — the opening round is May 24 at various locations before switching to Abbotsford’s Exhibition Park May 29-31 — after a 24-0 semifinal victory over the Southridge Storm last week (May 8) in the Fraser Valley semifinals. Matt Theodore — who was named to the Commissioner’s XV at provincials last year — scored a pair of tries in the victory, while Gino Paolella and Nick Vandergoes had one each. Continued Page 23
Hawks’ Spencer named top coach GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts
Tom Spencer never envisioned he would one day wind up behind the bench. But with his playing days done and wanting to stay involved in the game, Spencer found himself behind the bench. Spencer had moved west to B.C. from Ontario after graduating from Brock University and figured coaching was also a good way for him to network and meet new people. “I loved the game and wanted to give back so I thought I would give coaching a try,” he said. “I got into it and didn’t realize the intensity and the gratification you get with teaching and watching the kids develop and succeed and fail, and the resiliency in them,” he said. “It became quite addicting.” Spencer got his start coaching at the minor hockey midget level as an assistant first with Burnaby, and then the Burnaby Winter Club. He landed his first head coaching gig with the Langley Minor Hockey Association and turned that into running the Valley West Hawks of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League. He was also an assistant coach in the league with the Fraser Valley
Bruins before that. And he has proven quite adept at it, being named the BCMML coach of the year on May 7. “As a coach you definitely don’t set out to win individual awards,” Spencer admitted. “I got caught off-guard; I had no idea.” The 35-year-old has been behind the bench of the Valley West Hawks — which is comprised of 15 to 17-year-olds from Langley, Cloverdale, White Rock and Surrey — for the past three seasons. This past season, the Hawks were third in the 11-team league with a record of 27-11-2. A project manager for a commercial flooring company for his day job, Spencer has his eyes on moving up the coaching ranks. With that in mind, he is on the move, leaving the Hawks after landing another coaching gig as an assistant with the BCHL’s Surrey Eagles for the 2014/15 season. He will assist Eagles coach/ general manager Peter Schaefer behind the bench. Spencer said he is a big fan of the sports psychology side of the game. “Players now are so well versed and well trained, there is not a lot of difference between the top players, the top teams,” he ex-
plained. “It is how you mentally develop and mentally coach players to overcome adversity.” The coach said he has changed his demeanor over the years, but not his philosophy. “Over the years, I have become a lot more calm on the bench,” Spencer said. “In my early 20s, I was definitely a lot more fiery behind the bench but I realized that isn’t going to get you very far. “I am not hell-bent by my ways, I will change and adapt as the game is being played” One thing that hasn’t changed is his coaching philosophy as Spencer likes an uptempo attacking style — much like how he played. “We may give up a lot of goals, but we have always been in the top three in goals scored,” Spencer said. ••• A zone boundary change means Langley Minor Hockey Association players heading to the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League will soar with the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds instead of the Valley West Hawks. The move was announced on May 8 for the 2014/15 season. “These changes were made to

Previously, LMHA players were in the same zone as those from Surrey, White Rock and Cloverdale. But now, they will join play-
ers from Abbotsford, Mission, Aldergrove and Chilliwack. The MML is broken into 11 geographical zones from across the province with teams playing a 40-game regular season schedule. The midget level is for players between the ages of 15 and 17.

Sadler (Langley), Anna Seiler (Surrey), Madyson Stickley (Surrey), Alanna Stobbe (Abbotsford), Amy Whitton (Aldergrove) and Erin Williams (Surrey). Earlier this week, Olivia Zawadiuk of Coquitlam won bronze in the senior technical solo event and fifth place in senior free solo. The Aquasonics junior team also had a Top 10 finish, placing ninth in the junior free event.

13TH ANNUAL
Poppy deeper team than last year From Page 21
Paolella also picked up his team’s Golden Hammer award for the biggest tackle. Poppy, which is ranked seventh in the province, plays the fifth-ranked G.W. Graham Grizzlies of Chilliwack in the Fraser Valley final tomorrow (Wednesday). “Last year’s provincials was a learning experience for both the players and coaches,” said Barry. “The players had a chance to see and play against the elite teams in the province and learned where they needed to get to if they wanted to challenge for top spot.” The goal this year is at least a top eight finish. Last year taught the program that depth was essential to compete, especially with injuries. “It takes more than just the 15 starting players on the field,” Munsie said. “Last year we did not have a very deep team
and really struggled to compete when we had some key injuries (so) our goal this year was to develop
all 26 players on the roster and give them all meaningful game time throughout the season.
“Our depth this year has allowed us to rest players at key positions and stay healthy all season long.”

Couple bats ‘home run’ wedding BASEBALL DIAMOND SERVES AS UNIQUE WEDDING VENUE FOR ALDERGROVE COUPLE K U RT L AN G M A N N Bla ck Pre s s
Pastor Wes Dahl reckons he’s performed marriage ceremonies for 50 couples in his career but on Monday evening last week (May 5) he pitched his first-ever connubial bliss home run. More than a hundred guests, many of them wearing baseball uniforms, sat in the bleachers on an Aldergrove baseball diamond infield for the baseball-themed exchange of vows of Barb Andrews and Bruce Taylor. Prior to the ceremony the couple had posed for official wedding pictures while wielding bats in the ball diamond. The dugout had been decorated with curtains and bows, the home base had a heart placed atop it and the table for signing the marriage documents was made of baseball bat legs. To top it off, the groom had cut a baseball in half, placed the wedding bands inside it and taped it up so that the wedding party could throw the ball around the field before the couple opened it up and placed the rings on each others’ hands. The couple, who first met seven years ago at a Cinco de Mayo “Boogie for Books” fundraising dance for Aldergrove’s Betty Gilbert school, are obviously baseball fanatics. It is the second marriage for both of them and they had both brought their four, now-grown children up with a love

Flip City cheers to gold GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports

The Flip City Cheer team capped off their season with the gold medal at the Okanagan cheerleading competition in Kelowna on May 3.
There was no rookie learning curve for a group of Langley cheerleaders. The Flip City Cheer team capped off a great season with a first-place finish in their division at the Okanagan cheerleading championships in Kelowna on May 3. And not only did the team win their age division, but they were the grand champion in their overall level and had the highest score of any age group. “A very successful season,” said Lauren Atkinson, the Flip
City cheer program co-ordinator. “For a lot of them, it was their first year doing cheerleading so for them to place as well as they did, you can’t really ask for more as a coach.” The youth level 1 (U11) team entered six competitions over the course of the season and finished with three gold medals and a pair of silvers to show for their efforts. The team of 17 girls ranges in age from 8 to 11. They are coached by Nikole Davie and Kelsey Eriksen. Flip City will be hosting a cheer open house on Saturday
