ARTS & LIFE The Show Must Go On

SPORTS Dream Come True

Once it is complete in December 2015, the new Timms Community Centre will drastically change the look of Langley City Hall. The design for the 35,000 square foot, $14.3 million facility calls for the centre to be connected to the existing building, via a long concourse. The new centre will feature a gymnasium and indoor track, as well as a host of other recreation facilities and amenities. s u bmitte d image

Design for new Timms Centre unveiled B REN D A AN D E R SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

It’s been a project several years in the making, but on Thursday, June 26, Langley City residents finally got their first look at plans for the new Timms Community Centre.

The design of the 35,000 square-foot, $14.3 million facility was unveiled in front of a full gallery in the City of Langley’s council chambers on Thursday afternoon. Created by Vancouver-based Hughes Condon Marler Archi-

tects, the plan calls for a range of dedicated recreation facilities, including a weight room, gymnasium and indoor walking/ running track, as well as change rooms, a games room, multipurpose rooms, a community kitchen, coffee shop and a secure

enclosed patio on the building’s west side. In addition to sports and recreation opportunities, the centre will offer a range of classes — from cooking to art — and child minding services as well as a number of youth-only activities.

Rather than use the former centre’s existing footprint, designers have integrated the new structure with the existing City Hall — joining the two buildings with a long concourse — featuring main entrances at both ends. Continued Page 4

Grow-op decision is bad news for Langley PROVINCE OVERRULES BAN ON U SING FARM LAN D TO GROW MEDICINAL MARIJUANA D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

A Langley Township bylaw that would restrict medicinal marijuana cultivation to industrial areas and ban it altogether on farmland has been rejected by the provincial government. The Township was informed of the decision in a June 24 letter from Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick. The letter said he would not approve the proposed Township regulation banning medical marijuana growing in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), which covers 75 per cent of the Township’s 316 square kilometres. The letter arrived several months after

Call us first!

the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC), the provincial agency that regulates farmland, issued an information bulletin on marijuana production that said the crop is “consistent with the definition of farm use … and as such is an allowed use.” Letnick said the ministry of agriculture supports the ALC position, and “the ministry’s policy position is that medical marijuana production in the ALR should not be prohibited by local governments.” Mayor Jack Froese called the decision “unfortunate.” “We recognize there is a need for medical marijuana, but these are intensive operations that our council feels are better

suited for industrial areas,” Froese said in a written statement. “We were looking forward to being able to control them in a location where they could be properly regulated.” Under the new federal marijuana growing regulations that took effect this year, small grow-ops in residential areas have been replaced with bigger commercial-style grow-ops. There are 19 proposed commercial grow ops in the Township, most of them to be located in the ALR. When the Township first proposed its ban, one of the growers came to council to complain the law was drafted without

consulting farmers. Koch Greenhouses owner Bruce Bakker said he has been operating his greenhouse in the 3300 block of 240 Street for 30 years, mostly producing “indoor ornamental plants” until this May, when he began producing four varieties of medicinal marijuana. The provincial government did have some good news for the Township, however, announcing medical grow-ops in the ALR will be excluded from farm classification for assessment and property tax purposes and will be taxed at the full industrial rate, rather than the substantially lower farm rates.

Langley Bypass deli hit by fire on Thursday BUSINESS REMAINS CLOSED WHILE INSURANCE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES F R A NK B UCHOLTZ Time s Re po rte r

DAN FER G US ON Langley Time s

Langley City fire and rescue crews fought a stubborn blaze at P&G Deli on Langley Bypass on Thursday afternoon. The fire was eventually extinguished, but the fire did significant damage to the long-established small business. The deli has not yet reopened, but plans to do so once an insurance investigation is completed.

A large, dark grey plume of smoke could be seen for miles on Thursday, after the P&G Deli, in the 20800 block of Langley Bypass, caught fire around noon. Large flames could be seen bursting out of a second-storey window when fire crews first arrived. Langley City fire rescue were on scene with three trucks and two ladders, and the fire was under control within an hour. As of Monday, the business had not reopened. Co-owner Debbie Ealey told The Times that she was not sure how long it would take to reopen, as insurance investigators will still determining the cause and extent of damage. Debbie and her husband Carl took over the longtime business in October, 2011. It has been in operation since 1979. Debbie Ealey said the fire was “quite a disaster” for the small business. She is not sure what the cause was, but suspects it may have been an electrical malfunction. The investigation will pinpoint the exact cause. “We have insurance and we will be rebuilding,” she said. P&G Deli has many longtime, loyal customers and the Ealeys are keeping them abreast of what is happening with the rebuilding and reopening via its Facebook page. She thanked customers for their patience and promised that the businss will reopen as soon as possible, to serve their needs. — with files from Monique Tamminga

Charges laid after June 17 stabbing at Langley bus loop MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

A Langley teen will make a full recovery after being stabbed in the neck and back on Tuesday, June 17, in a fight in broad daylight at the Langley City bus loop. His alleged attacker, an 18-year-old Langley man, was arrested nearby. Both involved are known to each other and to police. The victim isn’t co-operating, said Cpl. Holly Marks. Jordan Leclerc is charged with one count of aggravated assault and has been held in jail until his next court appear-

ance on July 10. The stabbing is one of three attacks in as many months on or around transit in Langley. The most notable incident was a woman who attacked a mother and her three very young children, including throwing a drink in a baby’s face, on a bus that was headed to Willowbrook Shopping Centre bus exchange. In that case, Leah MacKay, 44, is accused of threatening to kill the mother and her three children after the mother told MacKay to stop swearing.

MacKay is then accused of throwing a drink in the baby’s face. The mother went after the woman and a fight broke out, which was caught on video. Both the accused and the victims got off the bus, where it is alleged MacKay pulled out a knife and kicked a toddler, while pushing down the other child. MacKay has been held in custody until her next court appearance in August. A Langley teen was back in court on June 23, facing serious charges after a drunken rampage which included trying to assault several bus drivers and stab other peo-

Centre will be ‘vibrant, pulsating heart’ for the City, says architect From Page 1

It is designed to offer excellent sight lines and plenty of natural light, explained architect Stuart Rothnie. Large windows have been included in the gymnasium’s design as well, to encourage participation and support community involvement, while the indoor track will overlook the gym from the building’s second floor. Although the amount of daylight that enters the gym can be controlled, the space is intended to be open — “not simply a black, dark box,” said Rothnie. The centre will be connected by foot and bike paths to Fraser Highway and 204 Street. New parking will be provided both underneath the building and at ground level. “We feel very strongly this facility will provide the City with a vibrant, pulsating heart,” said Rothnie. As a cost-saving measure, space will be taken from City Hall’s existing library and converted into washrooms and offices, rather than make space for them in the new structure. When the library was built 10 years ago, it was the only one serving the area, explained City CAO Francis Cheung. Now, with the Murial Arnason library open

at the Township Civic Facility as well as libraries in Murrayville and Brookswood, the City’s facility is somewhat under-utilized. “The interconnected facility will serve as a community and a cultural hub,” said acting City of Langley mayor Ted Schaffer, as the artist’s rendering of the structure was unveiled. “I can’t express how happy I am.” Schaffer said that although plans for a new recreation centre have been underway for years, it was only last November that serious work began on the project. “(Council) came together and said, ‘Let’s fish or cut bait.’” Schaffer noted that the City is able to pay for the new Timms Centre with existing funds and, when the building is complete, the municipality will remain debt-free. Together with Hughes Condon Marler Architects, Surrey-based D.G.S. Construction won the design-build contract. They are expected to break ground in late August or early September and work is scheduled to be complete in December, 2015. The project manager representing the City is Turnbull Construction Services Ltd. Although opening day is still

18 months away, local user groups who are currently based out of the former Legion building on Eastleigh Crescent, are eagerly awaiting the new facility. In the crowd at Thursday’s announcement was Ken Fisher, chair of the Langley Better Breathers group. He was joined at the unveiling by several fellow members. The club members, the majority of whom live with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been active users of the Timms Centre for many years and were among several user groups brought in on the consultation process. “Not only do we do exercising three times a week, we’ve used the community room once a month for 20 years,” Fisher said. Prior to the unveiling, Fisher said the group was most anxious to see what the new building will look like. “I hope they have everything we need,” he said. “We were talking at one time about a walking track. We’ll take anything we can get our hands on. “They’ve been promising it to us for four years now,” he said. “We’re really looking forward to it.” For more details about the centre, visit city.langley.bc.ca.

Trustees urge agreement MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Here’s the deal... Clip this photo to return to teach summer school and are seeking an injunction to rule it an essential service. Meanwhile, BCTF president Jim Iker said teachers will picket summer school. Summer sessions are very popular in Langley, with around 3,000 children expected to take part. Among them are international students, who pay hefty fees to attend school in Langley. Some are unable to return home for the summer, as they have purchased plane tickets to be used when summer school was supposed to end. (See letters, page 7). This is the complete text of the Langley Board of Education letter: Dear Sirs, I am writing to you on behalf of the Langley Board of Education to express the board’s concern in relation to the current state of contract negotiations between the BC Teachers’ Federation and the BC Public School Employers’ Association. It appears clear to the board that the actions each of your or-

ganizations have taken to pressure the other to assume a more moderate bargaining position have not only failed, but have now reached a point where the well-being of the students of British Columbia and the success of our education system are both being adversely affected. The board urges both the BCTF and BCPSEA to return to previous commitments to the well-being of students and to a successful education system in our province. The board also urges all concerned to recognize the ineffectiveness of current actions as well as the harm being done to those who are not a party to the dispute. The Board is of the view that both the BCTF and BCPSEA should endeavor to set aside their current approaches and work to develop a better strategy for reaching a mutually acceptable collective agreement. We thank you for your consideration of our comments. Robert MacFarlane, vice-chair, Langley Board of Education

Figueroa in court again Wednesday MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

While many will gather in Fort Langley’s historic fort to become citizens of this country in a ceremony today (Canada Day), Langley’s Jose Figueroa will remain in sanctuary at his church. It still remains a dream of Figueroa’s to become a Canadian citizen, but for now, he is looking to his next judicial review on Wednesday, July 2, to clear his name off any terrorist list. On that day, Figueroa is expecting to get a certificate indicating that he is not on any

terrorist list because the group he was associated with, the FMLN, is not on any federal list. That has already been agreed upon verbally by both Immigration Canada and the courts, but the certificate would provide reassurance and help solidify any doubts, he said. “This certificate we are looking for will constitute proof that I don’t pose a security risk and also would help to clear up my name against the allegation of membership with a terrorist organization,” said Figueroa.

Figueroa’s lawyer Peter Edelmann argued that Karine Roy-Tremblay, Immigration Canada’s director of case determination, denied Figueora permission to stay in Canada but didn’t have access to his entire file, which included two previous officers’ recommendations that he stay in the country.

The Langley Board of Education has sent a letter to both the government and the B.C. Teachers Federation, urging them to reach a collective agreement now.

In it, the board said the tactics used by both sides have “not only failed, but have now reached a point where the well-being of the students of British Columbia and the success of our education system are both being adversely affected.” The board also said the current actions are not only ineffective but harmful to “those who are not a party to the dispute.” The board, like the B.C. Parent Advisory Council, is calling on both sides to come up with a better format for bargaining. The letter comes at a time in the strike when the two parties couldn’t be further apart.

Question langeytimes.com

Today is Canada’s 147th birthday. This country now has a lengthy history as an independent nation. For most of the past 147 years, Canada has been respectful of other countries and of its wide variety of people, who come from widely disparate backgrounds and traditions. There are some significant exceptions however, which must be stated up front. Canada has done a generally poor job in maintaining good relations with the aboriginal people who were here before any immigrants came from offshore. For the first 100 years of our independence, there were ongoing efforts to assimilate them, take away their land, unique cultures and heritage, and subjugate them. This was a holdover of the British approach to colonialism, and was actually quite similar to what the British did in other parts of the world. It is only in recent years that more Canadians have started to appreciate the unique perspective that First Nations people bring to this country. Here in B.C., where we have a wide variety of very different First Nations groups, most of whom have no treaties, First Nations issues are front and centre, as was demonstrated on Thursday with a Supreme Court of Canada decision on aboriginal title, brought forward by the Tsilhqot’in Nation. Thankfully, the relationship in Langley between the community at large and our two First Nations, the Kwantlen and Katzie, is generally positive and is one of mutual respect. The other blot on our history comes in the treatment of Asians, particularly the Japanese during the Second World War. While there have been apologies and financial settlements, that aspect of our history is a shameful one — as were the discriminatory tactics used to keep out prospective immigrants from China and India. What Canada does do well, however, is to learn from our past mistakes. This country has always been a grouping of very different people. In 1867, it was the aboriginal people, those of French background, and those of British background, including descendants of former Americans who disagreed with the American Revolution. Since that time, people came to help populate the wideopen spaces in the country, and they have come from all over the world. At first, most came from Europe and the United States. There were also early settlers of Chinese and Japanese backgrounds. In the past 50 years, the doors have been opened wider for people from all over — although it is still difficult to come here (even as a visitor) from a poorer country, something Canada needs to consider more deeply and thoughtfully. Together, these diverse peoples have forged a country respectful of religions, traditions and cultures; committed to fight injustices; economically strong and well-positioned — and one of the best places in the world to live. Happy Birthday, Canada.

A Stone-y stare they

The region’s mayors got a dressing down last week from Transportation Minister Todd Stone. It would seem that Attila the Hun is more of a pushover than Stone, who is not prepared to share Lower Mainland proceeds from the provincial carbon tax with TransLink for road and transit improvements because of concerns it would negate his government’s promise to make the tax revenue-neutral. But he’s game to let the mayors go to the voters on another, different, carbon tax, or hike property taxes further. Big surprise, he is pushing an unpopular decision on to a lower level of government. As for other ways of raising dough, such as mobility pricing (making people pay more for driving further), or getting more money from the feds, he was also lukewarm, suggesting the mayors’ reach either exceeded their grasp or that they needed to do more homework on their proposal. Thus, developing a suitable referendum question will likely be put off until the fall. They needn’t look for any help from the province, though. All they’re likely to get is a Stone-y stare. — Tri-City News

Ghostly mayor Editor: Re: Township mayor plans to run for re-election, (The Times, June 24). I read with mild amusement that Mayor Jack Froese plans to run for mayor of the Township of Langley again. His words: “I’m very pleased with the progress council and I have made during this term?” What progress? What are you talking about? You are as invisible as a ghost. Other than unionized Township workers at the hall, high-fiving in the hallways, most residents of Langley Township wouldn’t know you to see you. We truly have no idea what you do or better yet, what you are being paid to do. LANGLEY As for the Brookswood T O W N S H I P M AYtree-huggers, seriously? We O R J A C K F R O E S E need to pave paradise and put in infrastructure. After 28 years, we still don’t have a SkyTrain connection in Langley. Carbon tax? I believe 99 per cent of B.C. residents see this as a BS tax that ends up in the general coffers to pay for government officials’ exuberant expense reports. Most people who live in Langley do so because Vancouver and Burnaby are too expensive. We don’t live or move here because the council members of the Township of Langley are brilliant. Most people don’t care, and I know the mayor has no clue what the community has to say. I think the numbers at the municipal poll, with 80 per cent not voting, tell the real story. SANDRA STEFFAN, LANGLEY

Homeless harassed Editor: I would like to address the constant harassment of homeless people in Langley. For myself, this will be the fifth time bylaws has come along with the company they hire as an outside long arm to do the job of removing all the property of a homeless person. Although there was no trouble, the RCMP had to be involved too. I guess there was no other protecting of the people of Langley that arose, so they just figured they could do bylaws’ job as well. I realize now why taxes are so high and budgets are exceeded. They can have my brand-new tent and sleeping bag, and all my clothes and ID. I abided by the bylaw officer’s instructions and packed up my belongings in a cart, which I left with a neighbour while I went to use the washroom. They loaded up my cart anyway and took everything I own. I guess it’s back to the business owners’ front door with cardboard boxes and blankets. Maybe jail is the next best thing. What kind of crime should I commit? JOHN MACLELLAN, LANGLEY

International students weigh in Editor: I’m an international student from Korea. If summer school is cancelled, all international students in my graduate year will be set back. Our money will disappear too. On the day after summer school completion, I planned to return to my home country. Due to the strike, my plans are up in the air. I am in limbo because there are no airplane tickets available. The June to August season is summer vacation time. Therefore, international students go back to their country during this time. If the summer school is cancelled, we cannot move the date of the airplane ticket. The students who came to Canada late in the year might not graduate on their original graduation date. These students are set back a year because they cannot get their required courses on time. Many of them planned to take these required courses during summer school. If it is cancelled, they will be set back a year, waiting for the following year when the course is being offered. They don’t want to take just one class at a time. It is a waste of time. Time doesn’t wait for anyone. YEJIN KIM, GRADE 9 STUDENT, LANGLEY Editor: The first time I heard about the teacher strike, I had a positive feeling about it. I thought it would be a huge break. I also support the teachers for smaller class sizes, because it is a problem. For example, in my science class, there are approximately 30 students. According to my science teacher, the science lab can only hold a maximum of 15. Perhaps the government should hire more teachers to keep the class sizes smaller. I believe that the government should change the students’ working environment to help them concentrate on their work. Also, the government and the teachers should stop the strike to allow the students to thrive. The most inconvenient thing for the international stu-

dent is the summer school problem. The majority of international students, myself included, attend summer school. If the teacher strike continues longer, the only thing we can do is just wait. Most of us do really care about the grades, because we came to Canada to be educated, not just to wait for the end of the teacher strike and doing nothing. For me, I am just sitting on my couch reading my books. Also, I’m paying for this education ($80/day) but, because of the teacher strike, all international students have wasted perhaps $1,200 already ($80 over 15 days). I hope they stop the strike and also start the summer school, and not waste students’ important time. GAVIN OH, LANGLEY, Editor: First of all, thank you for publishing my previous letter in the June 24 Times, with my opinion of the teachers’ strike from an international student’s perspective. I would like to address another issue, besides just the $80/ day fee that we are losing. It’s wasted time. I don’t know whether summer school will happen or not because of the teachers strike. I need to take summer school because as an international student, I have to take more classes to graduate at the same level as other Canadian students. The strike needs to be resolved quickly for students like me, as we need to make alternate plans for the summer if classes are cancelled. I don’t want to just sit and wait for this decision to be made. Please tell us what we can do. If summer school is cancelled, my grade 12 graduation will probably be delayed as well. JINSEOK KIM, GRADE 10 STUDENT, LANGLEY FUNDAMENTAL SCHOOL

Price of progress may be too high Editor: Has Fort Langley sold out? I’m hiding in my house right now, drinking my morning coffee I would normally drink on my front porch in beautiful Bedford Landing. It’s too crazy out there. A movie production has turned my front space into what looks like a movie set from MASH. There are numerous trucks, people eating breakfast, one doing yoga, just a whole mess of stuff going on. It might be interesting if it were the first time. This scene has increasingly been played out over and over throughout Fort Langley — but I guess that’s progress. Our town is teeming with construction for the new frontier — progress. Quaint homes are being bulldozed and

beautiful big homes worth well over a million are taking their humble place. Illegal and legal suites are constructed to offset the costs — more progress. Has this story been told before in a land not too far away and untouchable by the vast majority — Vancouver? I love the town I have called home for over 20 years. I think we have reached nirvana. I just think its time to ask what the people living here want — not what big biz and politicians dictate. After all, we are paying taxes equivalent to Vancouver east properties. Progress is overrated. SUSAN MCCLAIN, FORT LANGLEY

Two items on page are not related Editor: Re: The fish scammer story, and the picture of a couple with their baby, next to it on page 1 of the June 24 Times. For less than a millisecond, I thought the same thing — that the stories were related. Anyone with half a brain would read the caption under the picture, and realize it

was two different articles, but some people just love to nitpick, and complain about every little thing. I guess that’s why The Times felt obliged to print an apology to them. DONNA MARTIN-TONKS, LANGLEY

They moved to the same property her father had lived on, and she still lives on that property today. She is a happy and vibrant mother and grandmother. In addition to her two daughters, she has six grandchildren. Her oldest daughter and her family also live on the property.

Butterfly release planned Saturday

The Langley Lodge and Langley Hospice Society are inviting the community to join them for their joint butterfly release on Saturday, July 5 at the popular Krause Berry Farms and Estate Winery, located at 6179 – 248 St. in Langley. The event will kick off at 1 p.m., and at 1:30 p.m., more than 200 Monarch butterflies will be released to take flight for the first time. This event is open to the public, and individuals can release their own butterfly, through a $20 donation, via the Langley Lodge, Langley Hospice Society, or onsite at Krause Farms. There are limited quantities available, so pre-ordering is recommended. “This poignant celebration has become an annual event for Langley Lodge,” said Terry Metcalfe, president of the Langley Care Foundation. “This year we have invited the Langley Hospice Society to join us, leading up to another exciting collaboration between our two organizations for a silver screen-themed gala this fall. The release is much anticipated by residents, family and friends of all ages, and we are so excited about the opportunity to invite the community to participate in this year’s event.” Krause Berry Farms and Estate Winery is the event sponsor and host, and other sponsors of the event are Re/Max Treeland Realty. Joy TV and Flutterbuys. Funds raised go to development of the

therapeutic recreation programming, in order to provide enhanced activities and therapies to Langley Lodge residents seven days a

week. Funds also go to Langley Hospice Society to expand the palliative care and grief support programs

they offer, to meet the growing needs of children, teens, adults and families they serve, free of charge within the community.

You & The Law

PRESENTS Into the breach (of contract) Suppose you hire a landscaping firm to put in a new garden. After discussing the details, the landscaper promises to complete the garden by a certain date. You promise to pay him a deposit up front and the rest when he’s finished. That constitutes a contract. A contract is a legally binding agreement between competent parties that a court will enforce. Contrary to popular belief, most contracts do not need to be in writing in order to be enforceable. So what is a “breach” of contract? That’s when one party fails to do what he promised – for example, the landscaping firm plants cedar trees instead of the magnolia trees you asked for.

What can you do if the other side breaches the contract? The usual remedy is to get an award of money (called “damages”) which will put you in the same position you would have been in had the promise been performed. If things are going really sideways, you may also be able to cancel the contract completely. But do you have to wait for a breach to occur if the other side makes it clear they have no intention of going through with their part of the bargain? Unless they have a valid legal excuse for such non-performance (for example, a pre-agreed condition hasn’t been met), you may be able to treat the contract as already breached once they announce their intentions. At this point, you would generally advise the other party that he is in breach and alert him as to how you intend to proceed. You must take reasonable steps to minimize your loss, since this will be a limiting factor in any award of damages. Sometimes this means giving the party in breach a limited opportunity to “cure” the breach, failing which you can hire someone else to fix the

problem (after taking reasonable steps to get the best price possible). In a few rare cases, where money wouldn’t adequately compensate for a breach, a court may order “specific performance,” forcing the other side to do what they promised. Your lawyer can advise you if “specific performance” is available in your particular case. Sometimes the agreement itself spells out the consequences of a breach. For example, it could say that the innocent party can cancel the contract in certain situations and keep a reasonable deposit put up by the other side. Timing can be a critical issue. The contract may say that a specific time for performance is essential (e.g., July 31 for completion of the garden). If you casually let the date pass without objection (“Oh well, everyone knows contractors are always late”), and don’t fix another date as critical, you may find you cannot later insist on damages for the delay. This might allow the other side to carry out the work later than promised without penalty (unless the contract calls for it). There are, in fact, many wrinkles and special rules that come into play when there’s an alleged breach of contract. If the agreement is important enough, you may want to talk to your lawyer up front for help in preparing it. Your lawyer can also help if you are facing a breach of contract situation. Be mindful there are time limits (called “limitation periods”) for enforcing a contract or seeking compensation – so don’t delay seeking help.

The show must go on. Turns out, that famous line is as true of the visual arts as it is in the theatre. So when the much anticipated year-end exhibition for students in D.W. Poppy’s fine art program was cancelled because of the teachers strike, rather than chalk it up to bad timing, a trio of Grade 12 students, knowing they wouldn’t get another chance in high school, took matters into their own hands. Brianna Anderson, Tia DenOs and Tess Collens decided to host a class exhibit at a nearby golf course, instead. Collecting pieces of their own work along with those of their classmates, the teens arranged an exhibition featuring 34 large easel pieces and about 50 small sketches. In order to set it up, they had to cross the picket line outside the high school to pick up easels and other equipment, but Anderson said the striking teachers didn’t seem to object. “They understand we’re not doing it to make a statement,” she said.

In fact, she said, many of them came to see the show on June 17. The exhibit was on display for just one evening but while the students were handing out flyers advertising the show, they met Pat Barker, owner of the Pencil Studio in Fort Langley’s Bedford Landing. As she looked at the pamphlet, said Anderson, a thoughtful look passed across Barker’s face. She told the young artists that she had an open week at her gallery, but they would have to pull together a show fairly quickly. Because the Pencil Studio is relatively small, the students’ show had to be pared down from its original size. That’s actually a good thing, said Anderson, because it means only the top pieces will make it in. “It will be a little bit scaled down but higher quality,” said Anderson. “We’re picking the best (work) of each artist.” Some of the students brought their portfolios to show Barker. Among the pieces were water colour, pencil crayon and graphite images and “very beautiful” close ups of eyes.

“I was really quite impressed,” she said. The work was wonderful Barker said, but the presentation — paper glued to black construction paper — left a little to be desired. So she decided to dig up some old frames and help the girls stage a more professional looking show. Like the students, the gallery owner isn’t trying to make a political statement about the teachers’ job action, she said. “While I understand the reasons why teacher’s strike, I empathized with these kids, because I know how important that end of the year art show would have been to them. “Most of the kids are going on to universities and worked very hard on their portfolios, but didn’t get to show them,” said Barker. “Most of them are graduating and then going away — which made it more important.” The exhibit will open at Barker’s studio-gallery at #10-23230 Billy Brown Rd. in Fort Langley on Friday, July 4, with a reception from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and will hang until July 10. The Pencil Studio is open Wednesday to Sunday, from noon to 5 p.m.

Karen Lee Batten is this year’s winner in the B.C. Country Music Association’s spotlight performance contest. The prestigious award was announced on June 26.

Health Matters

The scientists have been wading through the statistics of this last influenza season and the results are supporting previous studies: Flu vaccines not only serve the public good of reducing the spread of flu (which is potentially serious in at-risk people), but, on an individual basis, getting the flu vaccine reduces the severity of the flu if it is contracted. Ninety per cent of the hospital and ICU flu admissions studied were un-vaccinated – and most of those, were young – average age 28.5! Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is usually not a problem on its own, but can lead to pre-cancerous changes in the cervix and other tissues. Thus, vaccination is aimed at preventing future cancers. Now, several years into a vaccination program, researchers in Australia are starting to see the results; they have found up to a 46% reduction in cervical abnormalities in the real world. It is believed their results would correspond with North American outcomes. Other than the odd travel vaccine, most adults don’t think about vaccinations for themselves. The truth is, many childhood vaccinations “wear off” by adulthood and boosters are necessary to maintain protection. Diphtheria

and tetanus should be boosted every 10 years and pertussis once in adulthood. Older adults should also consider pneumococcus & shingles while younger adults look BOB SANGHA for HPV & meningococcus; Pharmacist, BSc measles/mumps if born after 1970. Adult vaccination rates persist in being below recommended goals and place many at risk of preventable illness. The best rates exist for tetanus at about 2/3 of adults vaccinated, however serious illnesses such as hepatitis A and hepatitis B remain low (at about 12% and 35% respectively). Pneumococcus can spread to serious illness to the heart and lungs in seniors, but 40% are still unvaccinated – and shingles rates are low too, with only 20% protected. Many of our pharmacists are trained and ready to provide vaccinations that can protect you from debilitating and deadly illnesses. Drop by to make arrangements to protect your future health.

Who will be the next … Aldergrove Idol? It could be anyone, but to find out whether they have what it takes, stout-hearted singers will have to step up to the microphone inside the Aldergrove Legion later this month and take part in a night of song and dance. All of it is in memory of a Langley man who died five years ago in a car crash. Aldergrove Idol, which organizer Kraig Wenman describes as “a straight out karaoke contest” will happen on Saturday, July 12. “There will be some drunken talent, of course,” he said, “but also some lead singers of bands. It will be a real competition.” There will be prizes for the best vocalist and for the best cos-

One of the key advantages to consolidation is that it helps you see exactly where you stand, financially. If your investments are among various institutions, it can be difficult to answer questions like, “What is my total rate of return?” and, “What is my allocation between stocks, bonds and cash?” Consolidation will make it easier to answer these questions and get a better sense of your financial “big picture”.

Leave No Stone Unturned With a better understanding of your financial situation you can complete a financial strategy. These could include a customized financial plan, wealth management strategies to reduce tax, enhance retirement and create a lasting legacy.

Because it is easier to keep track of your investments, you can make sure the structure is diversified by Asset Class, Geographic Area and by Industry Sector. Diversification is a good way to manage your risk.

tume, so Wenman is hoping people will come dressed as their favourite decade in music. And, of course, there will be dancing. Tickets are $20 each and all the proceeds from the night will go toward the Darren Macklin Memorial Spirit Award. The $500 scholarship is given each year to a D.W. Poppy student in memory of Macklin, who died in a car accident on 264 Street on the way home from work in 2009. Macklin, Wenman and another friend, Shawn Wasylkiewicz, all met the on the first day of Grade 8 at Poppy and the trio remained friends for 20 years until Macklin was killed. The event is going to sell out soon, said Wenman, who estimated last Thursday, that he had

only about 40 tickets left. The group’s last big fundraiser, a Mardi Gras night held two years ago, were gone two weeks before the event, he added. In addition to the singing competition, there will be a silent auction, and a 50/50 draw. Organizers have a number of great prizes already, Wenman said, including a two-night stay at a condo in Kelowna. They’ve also received donations from vineyards and pubs, but are still looking for more items. “Nothing is too small. Even a $10 gift certificate can be added to a bigger basket,” he said. For tickets, email aldergroveidol@gmail.com. Organizers are willing to deliver tickets within a reasonable distance, or they can be reserved and picked up. The Aldergrove Legion is located at 26607 Fraser Hwy. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

Draft selection a ‘dream come true’ BOSTON SELECTS DANTON HEINEN IN FOURTH ROUND OF NHL DRAFT

GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s

Up until Saturday morning, Danton Heinen was never much of a fan of the Boston Bruins. That all changed in an instant. The Bruins selected the Langley teen in the fourth round (116th overall) of the NHL Draft on Saturday morning at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Centre. “I am definitely a Bruins fan now,” Heinen said with a chuckle. “It is an unbelievable feeling; definitely an honour to be picked by the Bruins.” Heinen, who turns 19 on Saturday (July 5), was following the draft online from Denver. He is in the Mile High City taking summer classes ahead of his freshman season with the University of Denver Pioneers hockey team. He hadn’t refreshed the page in a few minutes so didn’t realize he had been drafted until his advisor called him with the news. Heinen wasn’t on the final NHL draft rankings list, but both he and his adviser had fielded some questions from a few teams. “I had an idea that I might (get drafted) but it wasn’t guaranteed,” he said. Shortly after Heinen spoke to his adviser, Boston assistant general manager Don Sweeney gave him a call to welcome Heinen to the organization. Heinen’s first call was to his parents Rick and Veronica back in Langley. “They were pretty excited (but) it was a bit tough,” Heinen admitted. “I would have liked to have been able to share the moment with my family and friends. “That would have been nice, (but) it is what it is.”

Danton Heinen (#89) was selected in the fourth round by the Boston Bruins at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft in Philadelphia. The Langley teen was in Denver, where he is preparing for his freshman season with the University of Denver hockey team. He did add that his phone “was blowing up” following his selection and that being drafted still took a little bit of time to sink in. Getting drafted caps off a whirlwind season for Heinen, an offensively gifted player. In his first year of the BCHL, he led the Surrey Eagles — and all league rookies — in

scoring with 29 goals and 62 points in 57 games. Despite being a first-year player, he wore the captain’s ‘C’ for the second half of the season. “(He’s an) offensive player, a real highskilled player,” said Keith Gretzky, Boston’s director of amateur scouting, on the Bruins’ website.

“He has to gain some strength — that’s his one concern right now. There’s a lot of kids that have to get stronger, and he has to get stronger.” Heinen is a six-foot, 160-pound forward. Heinen’s play earned him both the BCHL Bruce Allison Memorial Trophy (rookie of the year) and the Bob Fenton Trophy (most sportsmanlike player). He finished with just four minor penalties over the course of the season. Heinen, who graduated from Langley Christian in 2013, also earned a scholarship to Denver. He added that a lot of his success and development the past season could not have been accomplished without the influence of Surrey Eagles coach Peter Schaefer. “I learned so much from him this past year,” Heinen said. As for what comes next, Heinen is hoping to attend the Bruins development camp, which runs July 8 to 15. It would be Heinen’s first time in the city. Regardless of getting drafted, Heinen isn’t turning pro anytime soon. Rather, he will continue getting his education at Denver and playing for the Pioneers hockey team. But the goal remains readying himself to play pro hockey one day for Boston. “Since I was a young kid, it has always been my dream to get into the NHL,” he said, adding he will do whatever necessary to make that a reality. This is the second straight year a Langley Minor Hockey Association product has been selected in the NHL draft. Last year saw Kyle Burroughs taken in the seventh round (196th overall) by the New York Islanders. And Aldergrove Minor Hockey Association’s Shea Theodore was taken in the first round (26th overall) by the Anaheim Ducks. “It is a good feeling, we have had a couple of local kids go in the draft the past couple of years,” Heinen said.

Matt Ustaski’s decision to attend the NHL draft in Philadelphia paid off. “It turned out to be a pretty good idea,” he said on Monday morning, two days after the Winnipeg Jets selected the hulking forward in the seventh round (192nd overall) at the NHL Draft.

“It is a great feeling; this has been a dream since I was a little kid and this is the first step.” Ustaski is a six-foot-six 225-pound winger who played the past two seasons with the Langley Rivermen. The Illinois native is off to the University of Wisconsin in the fall. After talking to his adviser,

OBITUARIES

HUSEON, Paul May 4, 1942-June, 20, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our hero. He lost his courageous year-long battle with cancer but through it all never lost his humor. He was known as a jack of all trades who could find a way to fix anything. He was a gentle and kind man, who was always willing to help anyone at any time and was quick to forgive. He will be deeply missed by his wife Mary-Ellen, sister Joan, his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and many others. No service at this time. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Cancer Agency or SPCA.

Passed away peacefully at age 94, on June 23, 2014. Predeceased by her loving husband (Joseph) and eldest daughter Leanna; survived by daughters Debra (Wally), Joanne (Ian) and her son Grant (Peggy). Grandchildren Steve (Lori), Allison (Cam), Meghan, James, Ben, Will, Jenn, Sheena, TJ, Angela, Tamarra (Chuck). Great grandchildren are Jacksen, Madelyn and Owen. Muriel will be remembered for her independent spirit, a woman ahead of her time, and a very loving mom and friend to many. Her gift for writing, editing and publishing short stories for the Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Writers Guild (Voices of the Valley) was a passion that she pursued for a number of years and her stories were treasured by family and friends! Muriel was a true animal lover and she leaves behind her best friend Tiger who will be adopted within the family. Funeral service will be held at St Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parish at 11:30 am Friday, July 4th, 2014. A celebration for Murielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will follow in the parish hall. If friends are considering a donation, Muriel was an avid supporter for Wildlife Rescue, Dog Rescue and the Heart and Stroke Foundation. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online obituary at www.myalternatives.ca
