The setting sun played a role in an elderly pedestrian being killed in Langley on Thursday. Langley RCMP are confirming that the glare from the setting sun caused visibility issues for the female driver who hit two elderly Langley residents, killing one of them around 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 4. Investigators do not believe alcohol or speed were factors in the collision. An 83-year-old man died after being rushed to hospital and his 81-year-old wife remains in hospital after the crash on 72 Avenue. It happened in front of numerous witnesses at the intersection of 198B Street and 72 Avenue. There is no crosswalk or traffic light in the area. RCMP said a westbound sedan collided with the elderly man and woman, while they were crossing 72 Avenue from the north side of the road to the south side. Both victims were airlifted to hospital where the man died.

The woman sustained non-life threatening injuries and remains in hospital for treatment, RCMP said. She is expected to be released in a few days. The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and was co-operating with RCMP. The 72 Avenue road has become a busy arterial for residents in the area as development has been unprecedented in the East Clayton and Willoughby slope area. Despite such an increase in population, the municipalities of Surrey and the Township have done very little to accommodate the growth. There are no crosswalks or traffic lights in the area, and there are several open ditches. In April 2013, a 19-yearold woman suffered serious injuries when she was struck in a hit-and-run crash in the 19700 block of 72 Avenue. The driver left her lying in a ditch. Her boyfriend was walking home and heard her cries for help, saw that it was his girlfriend and called 911. That case remains unsolved. Continued Page 4

The weather was everything organizers of this year’s Langley Good Times Cruise-In could have hoped for. The warm, sunny Saturday drew thousands to the annual non-profit Langley City event that was expected to raise more than $80,000 for local charities. An exact tally will not be available until the all-volunteer event has finished adding up expenses and donations. Unofficial estimates suggest over 100,000 visitors attended the event, and there is some speculation that this year may have set an all-time record. On Monday, Cruise-In president Eric Taylor said the numbers were “huge” but was unable to confirm if a record had been set. Taylor said it was a trouble-free Cruise-In, with no serious incidents to spoil the fun. “I would like to give kudos to everyone,” Taylor said, praising the RCMP, City of Langley, volunteers and sponsors for contributing to the success of the event. “It ran so smoothly, so well.” This year, more than 700 cars and other classic vehicles were entered, up from just over 600 the previous year. One of the big draws was InN-Out burger. The California-based chain, known for the quality of its locally-sourced burgers and wellpaid staff, has no outlets in Canada, but every year it sends one of its “Cookout Trailers” to help the Cruise-In registered charity raise money. A newcomer to the Cruise-In couldn’t believe the lineup for In-N-Out burgers in the Cascades Casino parking lot. Continued Page 4

Nine years for Fernridge killing MONIQUE TAMMING A Tim es Report e r

L an gley Town sh ip fire departm en t

A chicken barn in the 4700 block of 236 Street went up in flames early Friday morning. Neighbours reported hearing a series of explosions about 5 a.m. The barn was empty at the time of the fire, and was completely destroyed.

Spectacular fire destroys barn B REN D A AND E R SO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

An early morning blaze in rural Langley on Friday reduced a large chicken barn to a smouldering pile of melted metal and burnt wood — but it didn’t harm any people or birds in the process. Neighbours of the commercial poultry facility reported hearing a series of explosions just before 5 a.m. Friday, before seeing flames light up the sky around the property in the 4700 block of 236 Street. Langley Township firefighters were called at 5:07 a.m. and arrived to find the barn’s east side fully engulfed in flames and the fire working its way west along the building. Tankers were brought in from every hall in the Township to haul water to fight the three-alarm blaze, which is believed to have started in a machine repair shop at the east end of the building. The 1960s-era barn which normally houses a large number of chickens, but was empty when

the fire broke out, because a large shipment of the birds had recently been taken away, said Langley Township assistant fire chief Pat Walker. Built between 1966 and 1967, the barn’s attic was insulated with sawdust — which was standard practice at the time, said Walker. That excess fuel, combined with the building’s wood-frame construction and galvanized steel cladding, made the fire extremely difficult to fight, he added. The steel covering would have caused the barn to heat rapidly and, following the building’s collapse, hindered firefighters’ progress in dousing the flames, he explained. More than five hours after the blaze broke out, crews were still putting out scattered small fires in piles of sawdust. Although water had to be hauled nearly a mile, the tanker support system worked well, and Walker was pleased with the crews’ response. The barn was not equipped with sprinklers or a fire alarm.

The man who killed a pastor’s son in an attempted grow-rip in Langley’s Fernridge area last year was sentenced to nearly nine years in jail on Wednesday. Jesse River Jordan Hill, 24, of Surrey was handed down 107 months, given into account time served already, and a lifetime firearm ban in Surrey Provincial Court on Wednesday morning. In June, he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter using a firearm. Hill originally faced a second degree murder charge in the death of 21-year-old Delta resident Taylor Johnson. Hill was also charged with break and enter with intent, disguise

with intent and discharge of a firearm with intent. He has been behind bars since his arrest in October. Johnson, 21, was found shot to death on Feb. 26, 2013 in a 200 Street home, which contained a grow-op. Johnson was the caretaker of the grow-op. He was the son of a pastor in Delta and had no prior record. During a press conference, his dad, Paul, said his son had made some new friends of questionable nature. His dad Paul said his son was very trusting. Taylor Johnson also leaves behind his stepmother and five siblings. Manslaughter with a firearm carries a minimum sentence of four years.

Resident Gary Hee started a petition for better traffic safety measures in the area, calling the 196 Street intersection a “suicidal corner of town.” It’s where a young boy was hit while rollerblading last year. Hee started a petition asking for better traffic calming in the area. He pressed both municipalities to put in a traffic light at 196 Street and 72 Avenue. In January, the Township had approved a traffic light to go in at 196 Street but nothing has been installed yet. A call for a marked crosswalk at the intersection of 198B

Street and 72 Avenue has come in the wake of Thursday’s fatal crash. Langley Township council was expected to hear a delegation Monday night, after The Times’ press deadline. The written submission by area resident Teresa Blades noted 72 Avenue has no marked crossings between 192 Street in Surrey and 200 Street in Langley. “The area in which the accident occurred is often used by children to cross the street to get to their school bus stops as well as average citizens who walk to neighbouring businesses,” Blades said.

“There are no sidewalks and the width of roadway between what cars drive on, and the ditch, is only a couple to a few feet,” Blades added. Blades said westbound traffic in the area reduces from two lanes to one at 198B street, creating a “funneling effect that also increases danger to the pedestrians on the north side” while on the south side, a property under development forces pedestrians to “walk within the eastbound lanes.” Anyone who witnessed the collision and has not spoken to police is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. — with files from Dan Ferguson

Mufford official opening marks end of overpass projects MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The $51 million Mufford overpass project had its official opening Thursday, with dignitaries from all levels of government, Port Metro Vancouver and TransLink there to mark the occasion. The overpass opened to traffic on Aug. 18, but construction is still underway to widen Glover Road to four lanes, north to 64 Avenue. That is expected to be complete in the next couple of weeks, said Township transportation engineer Paul Cordeiro. Several people were there for the opening including former mayor Kurt Alberts, farming pioneer Hugh Davis and two members of the Mufford family, which the overpass is named after. Fleetwood-Port Kells MP Nina Grewal, and Abbotsford MLA Darryl Plecas spoke. Langley MLA Mary Polak, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and Delta Mayor Lois Jackson were expected to make it,

but did not attend. The Mufford project is part of a $307 million plan to build eight overpasses and one railway siding along the 70-km stretch that connects Roberts Bank, with Canada’s largest container port (Deltaport) and coal terminal (Westshore), to the North American railway network. With the official unveiling of the Mufford Overpass, it marked the completion of all nine rail corridor projects, all done “on time and on budget,” said Grewal. Currently, rail tracks carry up to 18 trains per day, many of them more than two kilometres long, Rail traffic is expected to increase to 28 to 38 trains a day by 2021, as the port’s capacity expands. The new four‐lane overpass runs northeast of the existing Mufford Crescent crossing (which has now been closed), carrying vehicles above the railroad and Glover Road. About half of the money for Mufford, $24 million, came from TransLink.

The rest came from the province ( $12.5 million), the Township of Langley ($9.3 million), the federal government ($3.1 million) and Port Metro Vancouver ($2.1 million). TransLink will eventually be installing high-tech rail crossing electronic billboards to alert drivers to avoid level crossings and re-route to the overpass when a train is passing through. But first it wants to monitor traffic patterns for the next couple months to determine where the best places are to put the signs, said Cordeiro. “Feedback about the new overpass has been fairly positive. But the full benefit of the overpass hasn’t been achieved yet because Glover Road is still under construction,” he said. Cliff Stewart, vice-president of infrastructure delivery at Port Metro Vancouver, said business is booming at the Delta Port with “no signs of slowing down.” TransLink’s Bob Paddon remarked how

critical projects like this are with Metro Vancouver’s projected population to rise to 3.4 million by 2041. “That is 1.2 million more people with most people choosing to live right here in Langley and in Surrey. We at TransLink are here to protect our mobility and livability,” said Paddon. The location of the Mufford Overpass was not popular, with many members of the public wanting to see the overpass address traffic that uses Highway 10. The Township’s original proposal for the Mufford Overpass was rejected by the Agricultural Land commission, because it intruded too much on farmland. The new overpass has less of a footprint on farmland, and also has a direct connection to Glover Road, which was not part of the original proposal. A Highway 10 overpass was not pursued, at least in part because there was little surplus land in that location.

Corridor costs a life we

A pedestrian fatality on 72 Avenue on Thursday should prompt Langley Township to take a very careful look at the levels of traffic on that street, and the difficulty faced by pedestrians in crossing the street. Any such study should be done in conjunction with Surrey. Both Langley Township and Surrey have allowed development to run rampant on “the slope,” (known as East Clayton in Surrey), in the past 10 years. Yet 72 Avenue has remained almost unchanged. There are no crosswalks between 192 and 200 Streets, yet people attempt to cross the road regularly. There are open ditches along the road in both cities. In Surrey, cars park in front of homes on the street, and regularly back onto the busy street. There are no traffic lights between 192 and 200 Streets, even though 196 Street has become a major arterial and is connected directly to the new 196 Street overpass. There have been several pedestrian-involved crashes along the corridor in recent years. Thursday’s fatality took place at 198B Street and 72 Avenue. Langley Township has widened the road to two lanes westbound from 200 to 198B streets, with the right lane supposedly only for vehicles turning onto 198B. In fact, drivers use it as a way to pass slower traffic all the time, and it was a westbound vehicle which struck and killed the 83-year-old man Thursday night. The street needs one or more traffic lights. One has been approved, but not yet built, at 196 Street. It also needs more crosswalks, and much more speed and dangerous driving enforcement by police in both Langley and Surrey. Surrey also needs to get rid of all parking in front of homes on its stretch of 72 Avenue. It is not right to add many more homes and encourage many people to move into an area, and not upgrade the road infrastructure. This is negligence, plain and simple. Now it has cost a life.

News on the amalgamation front has been coming fast and furious. Council in two more municipalities, most notably Langford, but also Central Saanich, voted to put a form of question relating to the further study of amalgamation on the ballot for the 2014 civic election. Representatives from Amalgamation Yes can be excused for rubbing their hands together with a degree of satisfaction, having seen their many months of effort rewarded with buy-in from two of the three largest jurisdictions in the Capital Region. Last week, Langford officially changed its mind about waiting to see whether 75 per cent of all area municipalities were going to put a question on their ballots. In our minds, Langford has never been a “follower” type of municipality, rather a leader in getting things done progressively. We’d like to think that conversations with residents helped turn the tide. Not to mention reminders from staff that any question placed on the ballot, simply to take the public’s temperature on a further investigation of some form of amalgamation, need not be binding and wouldn’t legally require them to take steps toward such a move. Which is not to say municipalities can be flippant about this exercise in democracy, trying it on for size like a pair of shoes. It still requires serious thought about what areas of integration might benefit residents, which comes with costs for staff time on top of added printing expenses. A big part of the equation is the wording of the question. It can be as open and general, or specific and detailed as desired, depending on what municipalities hope to achieve with this initial inquiry. In essence, there’s really not a lot to lose by putting a question on the ballot, outside of slightly distracting voters from their primary task of electing their councils. Whether other West Shore municipalities will follow Langford’s lead is anyone’s guess. But if up-and-comer Colwood says yes to a ballot question, we believe others around the region will look seriously at changing their minds, like Langford did and simply ask, why not? — Goldstream News Gazette

Good for the Earth; good for Business HERE’S HOW

Editor: My 20-year-old daughter Shelby has posted this on her Facebook page. It is a heartfelt plea for the government to do the right thing, and I wanted to share it with your readers. “I just want to take the time to express my anger, frustration, and sadness towards the ongoing labour dispute between the BCTF and the government. This dispute has now lasted from the end of the school year in June, and is still happening now, causing distress with not only the parents and teachers, but with the kids as well. The bottom line is, the kids are being affected here — and it has always been about the kids. I am tired of hearing people talk down against the teachers for striking because they are the ones fighting for the kids education, to make their education

better in the long run. The teachers of B.C. have gone through enough since 2002, and that is why they are not backing down. They have worked hard to keep the government out of influence in the classroom, and they will continue to challenge them, in order to sustain a better environment for the kids. As a daughter of two very talented, very devoted, and selfless people, who love their jobs as teachers, I have seen firsthand how this labour dispute has affected the lives of thousands of teachers province wide. And it isn’t just the wage cutbacks to worry about — it’s the fact that they need to be in those classrooms, they need to teach, because they love doing it, and it is who they are. Without being in the classroom, my parents just are not

themselves, but I commend them on their optimistic attitude, even throughout this ordeal. They are sacrificing who they are in order to stand up to the government, and if that isn’t courage then I don’t know what is. People need to know how much the teachers care. My mom and dad put in countless extra hours outside of the classroom, because they care, not because they have to. It breaks my heart to know that some of the hardest working people in this province are the ones who are now suffering for their efforts to fight for what’s right and what needs to happen.” SCOTT SMITHSON, TEACHER, YORKSON CREEK MIDDLE SCHOOL AND COACH, WALNUT GROVE SENIOR GIRLS BASKETBALL

Special needs kids are special Editor: They are referred to as “special needs kids,” because that’s what they need — special care, attention and time. Every child has potential, no matter what level of disability they may have. That potential can be drawn out by special teachers who can educate and spend time finding it.

Also, giving them encouragement and confidence in something they can do, can make a huge difference in their future. Even the severely mentally challenged kids are special too, they deserve the very best care we can give them. Placing these “special needs” kids in a classroom, where they

fall behind and are left more vulnerable, is just wrong. Our government has a responsibility to all kids, not just the gifted. After all, they are all society’s children. I’m with the teachers in this part of the dispute. Shouldn’t you be? LENORA NICHOLSON, LANGLEY CITY

Union asked not to cave in Editor: I have a very strong message to the B.C. Teachers Federation — don’t cave. It is the government which is ignoring a B.C. Supreme Court ruling. It is the government which will not negotiate in good

faith, and as for Peter Fassbender, what an embarrassment he has become. Have you noticed how a certain premier has totally kept her distance during this? This is the same person who, in my

opinion, was the absolute worst minister of education this province has ever had. Teachers — stay strong. The majority of the public is with you. JACK MCEWEN, LANGLEY

Brydon Lagoon solution needed Editor: I’ve been reading the letters in The Times regarding Brydon Lagoon, and I am dismayed with the lack of appreciation for the lagoon. New development and redevelopments coming into the city are bringing more people, and the lagoon offers a nice quiet place to walk and sit and enjoy the wildlife

around them. I’ve seen runners and walkers use the lagoon to exercise and seniors and children out feeding the ducks. It is a beautiful setting in the city for all to enjoy, as well as a tranquil place for birds and other wildlife. We need to look at the prob-

lems with the fountains. Are they the correct fountains? Are they being maintained properly? Let’s invest in finding and working towards a solution so that the lagoon can be saved and enjoyed by both people and wildlife for years to come. SHARON NEWBERY, LANGLEY

Health Matters

Neck pain can impair day-to-day functionality, and while the causes can include arthritis, spinal problems, poor posture, muscle issues, stress or lack of sleep, you can make changes to reduce its impact. Improve the ergonomics of your environment (eg. computer screen at eye level), don’t use too many pillows, move around frequently, don’t overtax neck muscles, keep your eyeglass prescription up-to-date, and get enough rest. The most effective treatment for fibromyalgia may be exercise. A leading expert has pointed out that, of the available management strategies, aerobic exercise, followed by cognitive behavioural therapy, has the most benefit. Interestingly, drug therapies don’t even make the top 10 – probably due to their side-effect profiles. That said, treatment should be individualized and consider tolerability, safety, cost, and patient willingness. Exercise may also be the secret weapon in managing joint pain, commonly called arthritis. Although moving seems to aggravate the pain, inactivity can actually make the problem worse by weakening

support muscles, allowing joint problems to escalate, and affecting posture, sparking other aches and pains. Look for low-impact exercises, such as swimming BOB SANGHA or cycling, and those that Pharmacist, BSc involves a broad range of motion. A recent study looked at the consumption of dairy products and the progression of osteoarthritis. It found that milk consumption (10+ glasses per week for women, 7+ glasses per week for men) is associated with an improvement in the progression of osteoarthritis. However, cheese consumption worsened the osteoarthritis – thought to be due to the presence of fatty acids. So, drink your moo! September is Arthritis Month. Arthritis represents approximately 100 different conditions, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid, but also conditions such as gout and lupus, and it affects an estimated one in six Canadians.

Editor: Valerie White (The Times, Sept. 2) sent a letter, attempting to show her support for the Township RV parking bylaw. Instead, she gave possibly one of the best arguments that should be used to get rid of it — and fast. By making several self-centred statements, she has bravely announced that she is one of “those people” by writing: “I do not want to see RVs parked throughout the year in my neighbours’ driveways” and that by eliminating RVs from her neighbourhood, she claims that it “enables me to see what is going on in my neighbourhood and helps me see if there are people or vehicles that don’t belong here.” I ask her to realize the following facts: 1 — It is not your neighbourhood, it is everyone’s. Although you and others like you may have an opinion as to what a “perfect neighbourhood” has and doesn’t have, it is none of your business what any neighbour around you puts in his or her driveway. If you want to change this, then buy the land titles of the properties as far as your eyes can see. Then and only then will it be your neighbourhood. You can even paint the houses that you now own to meet your tastes. 2 — You are not the neighbourhood police, let the police take care of you and your neighbours. If your desire is to eliminate RVs from driveways so that you can get a clear view while you spy on everyone, then realize this is not your business. Shall we cut down all trees while we are at it, so as to give you a clearer view of any “people or vehicles that don’t belong.” 3 — Everyone “belongs” in your neighbourhood. Deal with it. Do you actually call 911 if my third cousin shows up in my driveway with a vehicle that you do not think “belongs?” 4 — Everyone is different. Some people like an empty driveway, some like boating, some like camping, some like tinkering on cars, some people dress in a way that may not be to your liking, and even using colour combinations that you find offensive. The most important comment she made was that she admitted that all of this utopia of a neighbourhood was just a vision and was simply “in her opinion.” Thank goodness she is aware that these personal goals and desires are merely her opinion. Do not dictate to me what I can store on my land, unless you are prepared to buy it from me. DOUG NICKASON, LANGLEY

Speed, alcohol likely in fatal crash Friday Speed and alcohol are likely factors in a single-vehicle crash that killed a 27-year-old Langley man in South Langley. Shortly after midnight on Friday, Sept. 5, police were called to the 1800 block of 208 Street where a man who was driving a Honda Accord southbound along 208 Street appeared to have veered onto the shoulder of the road and struck a pair of recycling bins. The vehicle then crossed the road, crashed through a fence and rolled over, coming to rest on its roof. The driver was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene from his injuries, said police.

RCMP have not named the victim, however his family has been notified of his death. Police believe both speed and alcohol were factors in the crash. The driver does not appear to have been wearing his seatbelt. The vehicle will undergo a mechanical inspection and a toxicology test of the victim has been ordered. The road remained closed until approximately 6 a.m. Friday as the investigators collected evidence. There were no witnesses to the collision, however police were notified by residents in the area who heard the crash.

Motorcycle crash victim named The identity of a Langley motorcyclist who was killed in a three-vehicle crash on Labour Day has been confirmed by the B.C. Coroners Service. Gregory Michael Yuzik, aged 27, of Langley was killed when he was operating his motorcycle westbound on the Lougheed Highway in Agas-

siz on the afternoon of Sept. 1. On the steep portion of the highway on Mount Woodside, his motorcycle struck a car travelling in the same direction, and then a second motorcycle. He died at the scene. The B.C. Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate this incident.

District Achievement Contract “The District Achievement Contract now reflects responsibility for all students together,” said Superintendent Suzanne Hoffman.

The District Achievement Contract (DAC) outlines the Board of Education’s commitment to improving student achievement. The achievement contract for Langley Schools reflects specific characteristics, priorities and needs of the Langley learning community. Highlights in the current DAC include the incorporation of the Aboriginal focus document into the main document – the Aboriginal focus document used to be completely separate, then it was added to the achievement contract but as a separate section, until now when it has been fully included.

Completion rates were addressed as usual in the contract and this year the district has stretched the targets even higher from 88% to 93% for all students (including Evergreen), to 80% for Aboriginal students and to a potential 80% for special needs students. You can view the entire DAC document on the District website under the ‘Key Documents’ section at www.sd35.bc.ca.

New School District Logo Unveiled A new Langley Schools logo has been unveiled as the District works to incorporate its new vision, mission and core values into its new identity. The logo will be introduced over time and replaced on letterhead and signage as those items are updated and replenished. Within the choice are the following: • An 'L' and 'S' for 'Langley Schools' • Green fields • Blue and green for the agricultural heritage

• A river, path or highway • A grad cap The colours of the District will shift from the current pink and blue to green and blue as well as add a highlight orange.

Farm workshop on Sept. 20

The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency is inviting the public to comment on the draft terms of reference to establish an independent review panel for the environmental assessment of the proposed Roberts Bank Terminal 2 project at the Deltaport terminal. The project would add three new shipping berths at the terminal and be able to process 2.4 million TEUs (20-foot equivalent) containers per year. This would increase the number of container trains running to and from the port. All container trains from the port pass through Langley. The agency has developed the draft terms of reference, which will establish the mandate of the review panel, its composition, as well as the process and timelines for the environmental assessment. The public is invited to submit written comments on the draft terms of reference by Sept. 22. To submit comments, contact: Debra Myles, Panel Manager, Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, 160 Elgin Street, 22nd Floor, Ottawa, ON K1A 0H3. The telephone numbers are 613-9570626 or 1-866-582-1884.

NEWS & VIEWS PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE It is an honour to have been selected by your Board of Directors as their president for this year. I take this honour very seriously. In the last couple of years your board and management have initiated an ambitious plan of expansion. With the recent purchase of our “Blue Jay” gas bar in Abbotsford and the upcoming opening of the Mount Lehman gas bar and the Chilliwack bulk plant we are beginning to see the results of this plan. Your board of directors, along with our management team, is being ever mindful of the economic health of our co-op. It is a difficult time in the world’s economy but also a time to take advantage of expansion opportunities. Remember that our growth as an organization will add to our profits and therefore an increase in Equity Days distributions to our members. I urge members to continue to support our co-op both with your purchases and by encouraging your friends to also become members. Where else can you get a $2.99 breakfast and save five to six cents a litre on gasoline?

There are plenty of factors when building a champion

World Equestrian Games NORMANDY FRANCE

I had the epiphany that 4-H is one large gamble you make every year. You spend an outrageous price on a calf with the hope that you will have the chance to have the champion calf. What many know is that it doesn’t just stop at the purchase of your calf. Many factors come into play to be at the top. The work put into your calf, the skill you have to make the steer look exceptional for show, and an obvious one: feed. The hours that are put into a calf by a competitive 4-H’er are endless. The early mornings spent in the barn rinsing, rope burn from exercising, and that nice exercise your arms get from blow drying. All that is put into your calf in those mornings and evenings is all working towards the show. And along with each morning and evening comes feeding. I am amazed at the quality of feed from Otter Co-op. I love the aroma of the fresh feed when I open a bag of 14%. My steer absolutely loved the feed and because I got the grain at a place I trusted, it was one less thing I had to worry about. I am simply blessed for how things have turned out with the steer I had this year and everyone who has helped me along the way. It isn’t very often when everything falls into place for such an amazing outcome, and I am so grateful that it did.

Otter Co-op was a sponsor of this world class event, and our attendees were so impressed with the entire event. From the opening ceremonies, to events such as dressage and reigning, to the evening concerts hosted by Alltech, it was a fantastic event and wonderful opportunity for Otter to be a partner of. Congratulations again to the Maybin’s, they were great guests at the event, and huge supporters of Otter Co-op.

GENERAL MANAGER’S MESSAGE Otter Co-op is just about halfway through our fiscal year, and I am pleased to announce that we are ahead of budget bottom line! Sales are currently at $87.4 million, which is growth of almost $4.8 million over last year at this same time. And our local savings is currently at $286,000; which is 91,000 ahead of budget. We truly have a great team here at Otter that makes this all possible, along with the great continued support from our over 36,000 active members. Thank you! Our team has been busy with expansion the past few months; from growing sales at our Feed Mill purchased in Armstrong last year, to purchasing a new gas bar on Blue Jay in Abbotsford complete with 2 touchless carwashes and a Tim Hortons, and the soon to be acquired gas bar on Blue Ridge, complete with a pizza to go option. Construction is also moving along well at our new location in Chilliwack, complete with bulk plant, gas bar, cardlock, and convenience store, and we look forward to opening this new facility in November. And of course we have much to celebrate this month, with our annual Equity Days, where our members get to come and enjoy the rewards of Co-op membership by sharing in our profits! Otter is giving back over $5.68 million in cash and equity this month, definitely something to celebrate! We hope to see you at the Retail Centre on September 18-20 to pick up your share of the profits. And don’t worry if you aren’t able to make it, the remaining cheques will go out in the mail on the following Monday. Enjoy the fall season, and we look forward to seeing you at the Co-op!

We hope for a good turnout on the Equity Days and the Friday evening chicken BBQ. See you all there.

You & The Law

PRESENTS When is it unfair to split family assets equally? After your marriage ends, do you and your spouse each get half of what you own? Not necessarily. The Family Law Act came into play in B.C. on March 18, 2013. It empowers the court to order an unequal division of family assets (and debts) if splitting them 50-50 would be “significantly unfair.” A recent case illustrates this. Jack and Jenny (names changed) married in 1997 and had four children. They separated in 2009. In early 2013, Jenny got an order for sole custody of the kids, and Jack was ordered to pay child support of $754 a month. Jenny applied to the court in July, 2013 to deal with the division of the money from the sale of their house. (Jenny was also granted a divorce.) The court looks at several things to decide if an equal split of family property would be significantly unfair, including: • the length of your relationship • any agreements you’ve made with each other • contributions made by you to the other’s career As well, the court can look at “any other factor … that may lead to significant unfairness.” That’s what the court did here.

MAY 21–OCT 8, WEDNESDAYS, 2–6:30PM Kwantlen Langley Campus Courtyard 20901 Langley Bypass *30 minutes FREE parking*

Early in 2010, Jack and Jenny agreed between themselves that Jack would keep about $100,000 worth of business equipment and vehicles, and Jenny would get the house instead of child support. Jenny afterwards paid the mortgage on the house with help from her family, but despite the “agreement” (and a later one where Jack “gifted” the house to her if she paid off their family loans to buy the house), the house was never transferred to her. So in August, 2013, Jenny got a court order

to sell the house. The sale resulted in net proceeds of about $70,000. Explaining why splitting the house sale proceeds in half would be significantly unfair here, the court said: “… there are elements to this case that clearly militate against dividing up the proceeds of sale equally between the parties. …[Jack] intended [Jenny] to have the equity from the matrimonial home in lieu of child support. While that might have made sense to the parties at the time, it reflects a view that all of the [other] matrimonial property, including the equipment and vehicles worth approximately $100,000, belonged to [Jack] to dispose of as he saw fit without regard to [Jenny’s] interests... If the proceeds from the sale of the matrimonial home were divided equally…, [Jack] would be receiving a double benefit – giving [Jenny] the home in lieu of child support and then effectively clawing half of it back, while still retaining … the equipment and vehicles.” The court decided Jenny should get all the house sale money. This would take care of Jack’s outstanding child support obligations from the time of their separation to March 1, 2014 (over $35,000). He could keep the roughly $100,000 worth of business equipment and vehicles that he got in 2010. In addition to an unequal asset split in some cases, certain assets – like those acquired by one spouse before the relationship – may be excluded altogether from the division of family property. If you and your spouse have separated, seek legal help. A family lawyer can help guide you through the maze. Written by Janice Mucalov with contribution by Milne Selkirk.

BACK TO SCHOOL More than 3000 children in Langley come to school hungry every day – they have not had breakfast and they do not have a packed lunch

The Langley School District Foundation has embarked on a partnership with the Food For Famine Society on a mission to help feed all hungry kids in the Langley School District. It may surprise you to learn that hundreds of Langley students arrive to school hungry, having had no breakfast and without a lunch. Hungry kids cannot learn. It doesn’t matter how good the teacher is or how smart the student is. If the child is hungry, they might as well be asleep. They will never learn on an empty stomach.

JUST $100 WILL FEED A HUNGRY STUDENT A HEALTHY AND NUTRITIOUS MEAL EVERY DAY FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR.

Industries have made signiÀcant donations to the program and the Langley Township FireÀghters’ Charities have pledged to take on two schools this year with plans to expand the program as far as they can. As well Wilway Lumber and Poppy Estates Golf Course have also set up programs to help. It has become a community effort and with that comes awareness, hope and solutions. With your help we will ensure that EVERY child can enjoy a healthy and nutritious breakfast and lunch. Students will be happier and healthier. Marks and attendance will improve.

BR EN D A AND E R SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

From glass blowing to pottery throwing, wood turning to bead making, painting and drawing demonstrations, there will be plenty of activity for visitors at the annual Langley Art Studio Tour to take in over the course of two weekends later this month. Now in its sixth year, the popular self-guided tour of Langley artists’ studios, includes 25 stops between the Fraser River and the U.S.-Canada boundary, with one or two just across Langley-Surrey border. As in years past, anyone planning to take the tour is advised to carve out at least a couple of days. With so many stops spread over such a distance, a single day won’t be sufficient to see everything, organizers say. Once again, participating artists and the studios where they will set up are listed on

the Langley Art Studio Tour website, with a corresponding map, to help visitors plot their preferred routes. Among the artists participating this year are a number of well known local painters, sculptors and artisans. They’ll be joined by a number of less familiar names, giving tour regulars a chance to see plenty of fresh new faces and styles. This year, the Langley Art Studio Tour will focus more on working studios. Visitors on the tour will be able to see the artists’ working spaces and the various creative processes, as well as talk and interact with the participants. All studios are indoors so that weather will not be a factor Working alone or gathered in pairs or small groups, many of the participating artists will once again be offering demonstrations in a range of artistic mediums, in-

cluding glass blowing sessions at the Loafing Shed, as well as pottery throwing, trimming and shaping at the same studio, by guest artist Laurel Vlieg. Ed Pretty will offer daily artistic wood turning demonstrations while Stephanie Dieleman will show visitors how she crafts beads. There will also be a number of studios where visitors can observe the artists drawing and painting. As it has in previous years, the tour takes place over four days, Sept. 20-21 and Sept. 27-28, with studios open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Printable maps and legends, containing stop locations, artists’ names and mediums and a full schedule of demonstration times and dates, are available online at langleyartstudiotour.ca.

Trinity Western University’s School of the Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC) presents a sublime season of supernatural stories, woven together with the magic of live theatre. Mainstage productions include a Broadway musical, a Christmas comedy, a magical action-adventure story, and the premiere of a brand new play, commissioned especially for SAMC. The Illusion is the fantastical season opener, running Oct. 21 to Nov. 1. In this tale of magic and treachery, a mysterious illusionist reconnects a grieving father with his prodigal son. But where is the line between dream and reality? Can one vision change the course of a man’s life? Kate Muchmore directs Tony Kushner’s acclaimed adaptation of the popular 17th century comedy, combining elegant poetry with witty, contemporary surprises. SAMC Theatre’s new Artist-in-Residence, Paul Muir, visits from Alberta’s Rosebud Theatre to direct a very un-traditional Christmas story from Nov. 18 to 29. William Gibson’s heart-warming holiday hit is called The Butterfingers Angel, Mary & Joseph, Herod the Nut, & the Slaughter of 12 Hit Carols in a Pear Tree.

Third annual Celebration of the Arts all in the hall

BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

The Fort Langley Celebration of the Arts is moving — and yet, at the same time, staying in one place. The third annual festival celebrating the performing arts isn’t leaving the village, where it made its debut in July, 2012. Instead, it is making its move on the calendar — to the third weekend in September, to be exact. Festival organizer and chair, David James, hopes the switch to an early autumn date will help draw larger audiences and greater participation by Fort Langley residents to the three-day event which features both musical and spoken-word presentations. But unlike previous celebrations, where performances were scattered throughout the village, this year’s shows will all take place at a single venue — the Fort Langley Community Hall. This year marks the 90th anniversary of the Fort Langley Community Improvement Society which, by offering the use of its historic hall at no charge, has been instrumental in the presentation of the annual festival and the assurance of its long-term growth, said James. The society has also provided the celebration with insurance and made a financial contribution. “So they’ve really taken this on as something they want to support,” said James. The community hall’s stage, sound and lighting equipment — even the curtains — have been upgraded, he said, adding the improvements can only make the experience better for performers and audiences alike. The celebration begins on Friday evening, Sept. 19, with a performance by Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann — The Bergmann Piano Duo — at 7 p.m. Festivities will resume at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20, with a free children’s event at the hall. Members of the Kwantlen First Nation will lead young participants in a range of traditional arts and crafts, including beading, weaving, drum playing and story tell-

ing, said James. “It’s a very very rich experience for the kids. They love it.” At 2:30 p.m. Lindi Nolte will act as both emcee and artist during Slam! An Afternoon of Poetry. That evening, beginning at 8 p.m., blues pianist Willie McCalder and his band present Everything Leads to Dancing, On Sunday, Sept. 21, the celebration resumes with a 2:30 p.m. performance by 1659 Baroque Ensemble — Mad Songs and Englishmen. At 6 p.m. audiences will be treated to Jazz Time, with a performance by Juno-nominated bassist and composer Jodi Proznick The celebration wraps up at 7:15 p.m. with a salmon barbecue. Tickets are now on sale for the 2014 Fort Langley Celebration of the Arts. Cost for most events is $20. Admission to the slam poetry reading is by donation and the

Knights set to shine in Langley JUNIOR HOCKEY RETURNS TO GEORGE PRESTON RECREATION CENTRE AS LANGLEY KNIGHTS SET UP SHOP GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

Junior hockey is back at the George Preston Recreation Centre and as a long-time resident of the area, John Craighead is excited. “The buzz has been great, this team belongs to the community of Brookswood,” said Craighead, the head coach and general manager of the Langley Knights. “I grew up in this area, I am excited to be here and bring hockey back to the area.” Craighead, a former pro hockey player, lives a block away from the rink. The junior B Knights relocated this off-season as they were previously the North Delta Devils. The Knights play in the Pacific Junior Hockey League and are in a division with the Aldergrove Kodiaks (see story below), Abbotsford Pilots, Mission City Outlaws and Ridge Meadows Flames. The Devils missed the post-season last year, but Craighead has a bigger picture in mind. Last year’s squad was young with 11 rookies in the lineup. “At the end of the day, we didn’t make the playoffs, but we dressed the most rookies in the lineup and we had the most kids called up to the next level,” Craighead said. “I would like to put a winning team on the ice for the community but that is not our end-all be-all.” Craighead hopes to offer players a chance to stay in the community to continue their hockey development. “We want to bridge that gap between Langley Minor Hockey and junior hockey. We are losing a lot of good young players from Langley Minor to private clubs and academies,” he said. As for the product on the ice for the first edition of the Knights, Craighead said fans can expect an entertaining brand of hockey. “We have a lot of skill players and we are going to be a team that does not give up. Absolutely relentless, persistent.”

Craighead, known as an enforcer in his days, said the team will be a clean team, one that is disciplined and rolls four lines. “We want to have a very good skating team that is well conditioned,” he said. “(At) the nucleus of our team, we have four or five returning players and we surrounded that nucleus with a lot of young talent that is very skilled and great skating.” The Knights return their top four scorers from last season as Levi De Waal, Jackson Surbey, Colin Catchpole and Tristan Craighead each scored 10 goals or more. Craighead led the team with 14 goals. In goal, Nick Trenciansky returns for a second season and will split time with Cole Forbes, who played in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League with the Valley West Hawks. Forbes is one of nine rookies in the league. Langley also has four American imports on their roster. The season gets underway on Thursday night at the Preston Centre when the Knights host the Mission City Outlaws. Puck drop is at 7:30 p.m. with a special ceremonial puck drop prior to the game’s start, featuring a surprise special guest, Craighead said. The team will play all of their home games on Thursday nights. ••• As part of getting ready for junior B, the Preston Centre underwent some work. A new sound system was put in, as was a fresh paint job in the team’s quarters, with the shade of green matching the Knights uniforms. Room was also made in the building for the Knights to set up their own fully-equipped training centre. Craighead said the team has been made to feel right at home in Langley. “We have been welcomed with open arms,” he said about the relationship with the Township of Langley and Recreation Excellence. Recreation Excellence manages the facility.

Junior hockey returns to the George Preston Recreation Centre with the Langley Knights. Former pro hockey player John Craighead is the team’s general manager and head coach. The junior B Knights play in the Pacific Junior Hockey League and they will look to knock off the defending champion Aldergrove Kodiaks.

New team, same goal for Aldergrove Kodiaks GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s

The Aldergrove Kodiaks were a veteran-laden team last season, riding that experience all the way to the Pacific Junior Hockey League championship banner. The Kodiaks had a phenomenal year last year, finishing second overall in the regular season with a record of 34-6-2-2. They scored a league-high 217 goals and were tops with a goal differential of +99. They then lost just four games en route to winning the league title. Just seven players return from

that squad, but head coach Brad Rihela is confident the returning core will help guide the Kodiaks rookies, who make up over half the junior B hockey club. “I think it (championship experience) is going to be a valuable tool for us moving forward,” Rihela said. “It was just an unbelievable experience for everybody involved and I think that is just going to rub off on the younger players. “All of our veteran players, I expect them to build off what we did last year and lead these young guys.”

Aldergrove’s top returning scorer is Elvis Jansons and the forward was at nearly a pointper-game production with 18 goals and 33 points in 37 games. Quinncy Leroux should also see a bigger role on offence after 20 points in 25 games. Leading the rookies are Eric Callegari — who suited up in a few games with the team last year as an affiliate — and Will Mann, an American import who comes to Aldergrove from the famed hockey prep school Shattuck-St. Mary’s in Minnesota. “(Eric) is going to step in and be a big contributor,” Rihela said, while adding that Mann is

expected to “be a real valuable asset for us.” In goal, the Kodiaks have Griffin Baillie signed to play, but the second spot is still in flux while the team sees what develops with Tate Sproxton at the junior A level. Last season, Sproxton was 9-1-1 with a 2.53 goals against average and a .918 save percentage in the back-up role. And just because the team might have a lot of new faces, that is not to say the coaching staff has low expectations. “We are going to be a young team (but) we are definitely looking to be as competitive as

possible,” Rihela said. “I am definitely impressed with our young guys and how quick they have picked things up already.” The coach said the team will use speed and play an uptempo style, just like last season. “There are going to be mistakes made along the way, but I am excited,” he added. “I am pretty confident we are going to be just fine.” The Kodiaks kick off the season tomorrow night (Wednesday) when they host the Abbotsford Pilots. Game time is 7:15 p.m. at the Aldergrove Arena.

Hall humbled by HOF induction Now that he is in the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame, Chris Hall called it a very humbling experience. “It’s an incredibly special moment for me,” Hall said about his induction into the league’s Hall of Fame on Sept. 3. “You don’t start out a career expecting it’ll last a long time. You just put your head down and start working and hope you have some success along the way. And then you seem to find some longevity, which is probably the hardest thing to to.” The induction ceremony was

held at the Langley Events Centre, home of the Vancouver Stealth. Hall coached the Stealth franchise for the past six years, helping the organization win the 2010 Champion’s Cup. “It comes at a time for me where my career is probably coming to an end,” said Hall. “With my health, age and stress, it’s time to let someone else have a shot at it. “It’s a fitting way to bring some closure to a very exciting career.” Coyle and Hall are the 22nd

and 23rd members to be inducted into the NLL Hall of Fame, which was established in 2008. “Two well deserving individuals in Pat and Chris,” said NLL Commissioner George Daniel. “I thought it was great speeches, great ceremonies, probably one of the best we’ve had in the nine years we’ve been doing this. “Just a great night overall.”

Back-to-back clutch goals for King Jessica King provided some late-game heroics in back-to-back games as the Trinity Western Spartans earned four out of a possible six points to open the Canada West women’s soccer season. King scored in the dying seconds on Friday night at Rogers Field on the TWU campus to send the 700plus fans into a frenzy as the Spartans defeated the UFV Cascades 2-1. Jenna Di Nunzio broke free down the left wing and sent a perfectly-placed cross to the foot of King, and the striker made no mistake, slotting it home through a pair of defenders and past Cascades keeper

Kayla Kim. “I was just trying to get into the box and I knew we only had a couple of minutes left,” King said. “I saw Jenna get it and heard Graham say ‘go at them’, so I just waited for her to cross it and I managed to get a touch on it.” And the next night, Kings goal in the 82nd minute helped TWU earn a 1-1 draw with the UVic Vikes in Victoria. King’s heroics would not have been possible without goalkeeper Christine Oliverio against the Vikes, finishing with three saves. “She bailed the rest of the team out so instead of us trailing 3-0 at the half, we

were only down 1-0,” said Spartans coach Graham Roxburgh. “And we were unlucky not for it to have been 1-1 after shot(s) off both posts. “We had moments in the first half where we were just holding on for dear life, partly because UVic played more intelligently and were the more aggressive team while we struggled to get going and we struggled to find any type of competitive spirit.” That changed in the second half after the Spartans began to show better ball movement. Roxburgh said Nat Arnett came off the bench to give the team some life and

Seina Kashima returned to the game and was a difference maker, who had the Vikes back line under pressure. UVic went ahead in the fifth minute when Cassie Dennis’ long-range blast got past Oliverio. The Vikes dominated the half, but only led by a goal. The Spartans notched the equalizer in the 82nd minute as Krista Gommeringer faked that she was taking the pass from Danae Derksen, instead letting the low cross continue through to King, whose low shot beat Vikes keeper Meaghan Storie. Against the Cascades, TWU fell behind 1-0 in the

28th minute as Karalyn Delwo opened the scoring. And it looked like that goal may stand as the winner before Alessandra Oliverio equalized from the penalty spot in the 84th minute, setting up the frenetic final 10 minutes capped by King’s winner. Christine Oliverio made four saves for the Spartans while Klim stopped eight of the 10 TWU shots on goal. “We were probably a little fortunate to get away with a point,” Roxburgh said following the Victoria game. “So we have some work to do, but four points off of our first weekend after subpar performances — we will take it.”
