ELECTRONICS GIANT JOINS TARGET ON LIST OF MAJOR RETAILERS LEAVING LANGLEY MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The future for big box retail in Langley and across Canada isn’t looking so bright this week, with Langley’s Future Shop closing its doors abruptly on Saturday and Target to soon follow. Future Shop, an electronic retail store, papered up the doors and closed for good at the Langley Power Centre on 200 Street and the Langley Bypass, joining 130 stores across the country. Employees were given no notice of the plan to close the stores, according to some media reports. The signs on the door say the store is permanently closed. However, the voice mail message for the Langley location says it will re-open as Best Buy on Saturday, April 4. Best Buy already has a store in Langley at 20202 66 Avenue. Best Buy, which bought all the Future Shops in 2001, made the sudden announcement that is was shutting down 66 stores and turning another 65 into Best Buys across Canada. There are an estimated 1,500 job losses to go along with the closures. But Best Buy is honouring all Future Shop returns, warranties, gift certificates and services, the company said on its website page. It also plans to fully pay all existing lease payments on stores that will not reopen. In the same mall, the Mexx clothing store is papered up. That retail company shut down all its Canadian stores a few weeks ago. Just a short distance away at Willowbrook Shopping Centre, Target shoppers have a week left before that retail store closes for good. Target is closing all 133 stores it opened across Canada less than two years ago. Most Targets in Metro Vancouver are anchor tenants and are connected to large malls, as is the case in Langley. Here, Target took over an existing Zellers store and did extensive interior and exterior renovations before opening in the spring of 2013. Target has already closed some B.C. stores, in Chilliwack, Cranbrook and Maple Ridge. There is no word on what might replace the Target store at Willowbrook.

Langley RCMP are asking for the public’s help to locate six suspects in connection with three separate robberies that took place during the past month. In each case, police are looking for a man and a woman. The first incident took place on Feb. 25, when a wallet was stolen from a vehicle outside a business in the 26500 block of Gloucester Way. One of the victim’s credit cards was used at a gas station down the street. The couple is believed to have been driving a red 1999 Pontiac Transport passenger van. They have also been linked to a sage green 2004 Ford Freestar passenger van. The next incident took place a month later, on March 26, when a couple entered the Langley City 7-Eleven store. Police allege they stole several phone chargers valued at approximately $120. That same day (March 26) police were called to an apartment complex in the 5400 block of 203 Street where a break-and-enter had occurred overnight. Continued Page 8

Court decision on funding due within a few weeks PIPELINE ROUTE STILL UNCLEAR DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter

DAN FER GUS ON L an gley Tim es

Byron Smith of Fort Langley, who has been seeking more clarity on the Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal, was at a roadside rally against the pipeline on Feb. 8 in Langley.

A Federal Court judge in Vancouver has reserved decision on an application by some Langley residents to overturn a National Energy Board (NEB) decision. The NEB denied them funding to take part in hearings on the Kinder Morgan pipeline application to twin its oil pipeline. The three-hour hearing took place Monday, March 23 before Justice John O’Keefe. The applicants describe themselves as residents of the Fort Langley flood plain area, near the Salmon River. At issue is the NEB decision last year to deny the group participant funding, which is money to help cover the costs of participating in the review of the pipeline proposal, including legal fees, funding of independent studies, travel and other expenses. The residents say that while Kinder Morgan has announced it now plans to run the new pipeline through the hillside above the Salmon River flood plain and through the Redwoods Golf Course, it has not removed the Salmon River flood plain area from its route maps. Participant funding would allow the residents to carry out their own study of the impact the pipeline would have on the area, they say. Prior to the court hearing, Byron Smith, one of the residents, said the NEB refused to explain its decision to deny them fund-

ing when he travelled to Calgary to meet with the NEB representative who is overseeing the application. “We are feeling frustrated and neglected,” Smith said. He says he expects the judge will rule on the application in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, Redwoods Golf Course has received little information on what the pipeline company plans to do on its property. Doug Hawley, general manager of the course, which is owned by the Township of Langley but leased to Redwoods, said last week “there has been no conversation on route alignment” with Kinder Morgan. “I have not seen a map of the proposed route,” he said. He has been told that nothing will happen on the property in 2015 or 2016, which has allowed him to take bookings “two years out.” However, he does need to have plenty of advance notice because of the many special events which are booked at the course, including weddings and receptions, corporate events and golf tournaments. He has been told by Kinder Morgan representatives that testing will likely begin near the southwest corner of the course, in the vicinity of 217A Street, but he does not know exactly what that will entail. “I really want to know more, because it affects me (the business) every day,” he told The Times. — with files from Frank Bucholtz

Another pipeline protest planned for April 11 in Fort Langley PROT ESTERS WANT TO STOP KINDER MORGAN PLANS TO TWIN PIPELINE MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

Another rally is planned to protest Kinder Morgan’s proposed pipeline expansion. It will take place on Saturday, April 11 in Fort Langley. This time protesters are going to march from McMillan Island to the Fort Langley Community Hall, said Kwantlen First Nation member Brandon Gabriel, who is once again one of the organizers. He helped organize a protest on the side of the road on 232 Street on Feb. 5, which attracted a crowd of about 80. “Join in respect of the unceded Kwan-

tlen and neighbouring First Nation Territories, for a march and rally to celebrate our home and protect it from destructive oil bitumen projects like the Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal; proposed to see 890,000 barrels of oil travel daily through sacred lands and waters,” said Gabriel, in a poster that has been circulated about the march. This march will begin around 12:30 p.m. at the Kwantlen First Nations sports park on McMillan Island. The group will march across the Jacob Haldi Bridge, then proceed south on Glover Road to gather at the Fort hall, where speeches are planned.

At the last rally, around 80 people arrived to protest across from a private property on Rawlison Crescent where Kinder Morgan was doing test drilling for the proposed pipeline. Kinder Morgan operates its existing Trans Mountain pipeline, and it runs through parts of North Langley, Fort Langley, Walnut Grove and then heads west into Port Kells. It plans to twin the existing pipeline, which began operating in 1953, through most of Langley. However, a new route will be sought west of Glover Road, to avoid taking the second pipeline through a de-

veloped urban area in Walnut Grove. The pipeline is planned to divert from the existing route near Redwoods Golf Course, and go through the course to link up with the CN tracks near 216 Street and 96 Avenue. At that point, it will parallel the railway line. Kinder Morgan is looking to triple its capacity for oil which would be piped from Alberta through numerous B.C. communities to the Burnaby marine terminal. Some would be used at the existing Chevron refinery, but the vast majority would be shipped as crude oil via tanker to Asian customers.

Rude welcome to the neighbourhood won’t deter new daycare operator, after business broken into MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

It’s not the welcome to the neighbourhood anyone would want, but Jason Bains is trying to be optimistic. Bains has spent the last year pouring $400,000 in renovations into a Langley City building at 20279 56 Ave. to open a infant and toddler licensed daycare. Among the renovations is creating four care rooms in the inside, and creating a landscaped outside play area with raised

garden beds and turf. He went to Vancouver Island on Friday and forgot to put the alarm on. When he came back to Educare Early Learning daycare, the back door was wide open and items were missing. “I’m still in shock that anyone would decide to steal from a child care centre,” said Bains. The items taken from the centre include a Samsung monitor, Mac mini computer, blue Bose Soundlink stereo, a

Moneris payment terminal, coffee maker, microwave, toaster oven, two Ryobi power drills, Ryobi drillbit set, and Canon PowerShot camera. “I just wanted to let the community know what happened, just in case anyone saw anything or heard anything,” he said. The theft has set the daycare back. Instead of opening on April 1, he has postponed opening until May 1. He has notified parents about the delay and he said they

have been very understanding. The new daycare can hold 48 infants and toddlers, from ages 12 months to 36 months. There are 12 ECE certified teachers and three teachers to every classroom. Introductory rate is $988 per month. If you would like to learn more about Educare Early Learning and see pictures of the brand-new centre, go to www.ecel.ca. If you have any information about the theft, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Publication dates for The Times are changing Next week, The Times will return to publishing on Wednesday and Friday. The shift from the Tuesday and Thursday schedule, in effect since 2011, will take effect the week of April 5. In a related move, the Langley Advance is switching from publishing twice a week to a single edition on Thursday. The Advance is one of a number of newspaper titles, related publications and digital proper-

ties which Black Press, the owner of The Times, acquired from Glacier Media. The sale, first announced in December, was completed last Tuesday. The Aldergrove Star, also published by Black Press, will continue to publish a weekly edition on Thursday. In the Lower Mainland, Black Press also purchased the Surrey Now and Maple Ridge Times community papers.

Unique items taken in break-in

Other papers sold by Glacier to Black were The Nanaimo Daily News, The Harbour City Star, the Alberni Valley Times, the Cowichan Citizen, Parksville Oceanside Star, Tofino/ Ucluelet Westerly News, the Comox Valley Echo, and Campbell River Courier. In a separate transaction, Black Press sold the Tri-City News, Burnaby New Westminster News Leader and the Richmond Review to Glacier Media.

A Langley City resident who had $10,000 worth of property stolen, including heirloom necklaces, a rosary and an engraved watch, is hoping someone has seen some of the unique items. On Feb. 17, someone broke into the residence in Langley City. Over $10,000 in property was stolen, including jewelry, electronics, car keys, a camera, an external hard drive and a palm massager. There are a number of distinctive items the public may be able to assist police to locate including two custom Corrine Hunt silver men’s

ring engraved with a Coast Salish design, custom Wolfgang Krantz gold and silver men’s watch with W. Krantz signature and “Merry Christmas Denton” engraved on the back. Also taken were two heirloom pearl necklaces, an heirloom rosary, wallet with First Nation skulls on it and Tippman TPS paintball pistol. If you have seen any of these items or know anything about this break-in, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200, or if you wish to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Only Langley housing to be affordable by 2030 REPORT LOOKS AT SOARING HOME PRICES JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s

Home prices will increasingly soar beyond what is affordable to most families — not just in Vancouver itself, but in other Lower Mainland cities as well. That’s the outlook in a new report from Vancity Savings Credit Union, which projects the average home price in Vancouver will exceed $2.1 million by 2030 and require more than 100 per cent of average household income to pay the mortgage. In 15 years time, Langley City will be only community in Metro Vancouver with affordable real estate, according to the report, titled Downsizing the Canadian Dream: Homeownership Realities for Millennials and Beyond. Besides Langley City, only Maple Ridge, New Westminster, Pitt Meadows and Port Coquitlam can currently be called affordable, the report says, with the mortgage payments for the average home consuming just under 32 per cent of household income — CMHC’s recommended limit. “However, if current trends continue, even this will not last,” the report said. “Unaffordability will steadily radiate outwards.” Burnaby, Richmond and White Rock had house debt service ratios of around 30 per cent in the early 2000s, it says, but that hit 46 per cent in 2014 and is projected to rise to between 60 and 70 per cent in 2030.

A report issued by Vancity Credit Union last week is deeply disturbing. The report says that, if there is no significant downturn in the Lower Mainland housing market, Langley will be the only community on Metro Vancouver which will be affordable for most home buyers 15 years from now. The report states that the average price for housing in Vancouver at that time will be more than $2 million. This is completely unaffordable for most people. Prices in surrounding communities will also rise accordingly, and even today, Vancity says housing remains affordable in only five communities — Langley City, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam and New Westminster. Do we want this area to be a place where people can only afford to rent? Given that rents are rising as well, even that may not be an option for some people. There is no question that housing prices have continued to rise due to steady demand. The demand has continued in large part due to record-low interest rates. While it is likely they will stay low for at least as long as the Canadian economy faces challenges, sooner or later they will rise. Housing prices in Vancouver, the North Shore and Richmond have also been heavily influenced by foreign buyers, who pay high prices in desirable areas, often for homes they will never live in. While there is nothing wrong with foreign investment, the continued blind eye to this activity by all levels of government is very disturbing. At the very least, non-resident buyers should be paying much higher property purchase tax rates, and should also pay higher property taxes — as is the case in some American jurisdictions. This would give the provincial and municipal governments more revenue and perhaps serve as a slight deterrent. Ads from the ‘yes’ side in the transit plebiscite say one million more people are coming here. Where will they live, and how will they afford it? Keeping housing affordable should be a major goal of all levels of government.

Question

of the week

Are more taxes needed to reduce foreign investment in Metro Vancouver real estate?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Adapting to change they

Despite some public efforts to stop the change, Mission is scheduled to lose its doorto-door mail delivery beginning this summer. Mission council’s request to meet with representatives from Canada Post is merely an opportunity to get clarification on how the new community mailbox system will be implemented and what the public can expect from the new service. Canada Post has already begun its five-year plan to phase out door-to-door delivery. If some members of the public think the proposed meeting will change anything, then they haven’t been paying attention to what has already gone on in the rest of the country. Communities across Canada have been voicing concerns and objections to the new community mailbox program, to no avail. In Calgary, one woman had a community mailbox placed on her lawn, just by her kitchen window. She says that no one from Canada Post or the city consulted with her about the location, despite promises from Canada Post to do just that. She merely got a notice in the mail that it was being installed. Mission council needs to prevent that kind of situation from happening here. District staff is being consulted on where to place the new community mailboxes, but the locations have not been selected. Staff need to ensure that the locations chosen don’t negatively impact homeowners. Other questions need answers as well. What mail service will be provided for seniors or other people with limited mobility? What happens if the new mailbox is vandalized or robbed? Can mail be picked up at alternate locations? The district can’t stop the change from happening, but it should do everything it can to manage how the change occurs. The meeting is a good first step. — Mission City Record

Many safeguards in proposed euthanasia bill Editor: I am writing in response to the letter by Benjamin Budlong (The Times, Dec. 24) regarding Bill S-225 on euthanasia. Euthanasia is an issue that concerns the power of life and death and should not be taken lightly in any circumstances. That being said, it is important to accept that patients who are suffering due to terminal or untreatable illnesses deserve the right to a physician-assisted death. In 2009, Bill C-384 concerning the “right to die with dignity” was rejected. While Bill C-384 and the new Bill S-225 are fundamentally the same, S-225 clarifies in detail the conditions and assessments required for a patient seeking euthanasia. Bill S-225 offers a number of safeguards to protect the patient. To summarize them, if an adult patient with a terminal or untreatable illness or disability meets the conditions outlined in S-225 and seeks eu-

thanasia, they may make a request with an assisting physician and a consulting physician. The patient’s consent must be voluntary and in writing in front of two witnesses and both physicians. As for the witnesses, they cannot be related to the patient, an employee or physician where the patient receives treatment, or entitled to a part of the patient’s estate. This helps in eliminating any vested interest. After that, there is a minimum of a twoweek waiting period before the procedure can take place. Upon requesting euthanasia, the patient must fully understand the procedure and be informed of all alternatives for pain control and care. If at any time the patient objects, the procedure will be stopped. All of these safeguards are to ensure the patient has fully and voluntarily consented to a physician-assisted death.

Nowhere does Bill S-225 include “physiological suffering.” But psychological suffering is included. Like physical illnesses, there are some mental illnesses that are permanent and terminal and cause severe psychological suffering. Examples include Alzheimer’s or dementia. Budlong argues that euthanasia could be used to end short-term emotional suffering, but Bill S-225 clearly states that all illnesses must be untreatable and with no chance of improvement. Short-term psychological suffering does not fit into this category. If decriminalized, Budlong argues that euthanasia would be used unwillingly on elderly or disabled patients. On the contrary, there is no evidence to show that this slippery slope would ever become reality. The requirement of patient consent is clearly stated in Bill S-225 as “acting vol-

untarily, free from coercion or undue influence.” And with the safeguards in place, the patients have the right to revoke their decision at any time. It would be very difficult, if not nearly impossible, for a patient to be euthanized against their will. Therefore, there is no evidence to support that those who are elderly or disabled would be encouraged to seek euthanasia or be discouraged from living. Bill S-225 does not promote or encourage euthanasia. Bill S-225 simply provides patients with a right over their own life and death. Those who support the right to euthanasia do not believe that life is pointless or a burden. These people just believe that those who suffer from untreatable or terminal illnesses should have the right to end their suffering if they seek it. SHELBY DEGLAN, LANGLEY

Higher minimum wage leads Letter writer applauded to more unemployment Editor: Increasing minimum wage creates more unemployment. Minimum wage is meant for small business. The B.C. Federation of Labour and NDP opposition know nothing about the operation of a small business. Raising the minimum wage comes with baggage, like in a second marriage. The baggage is called benefits. Here is an example. A small business has five fulltime employees, two at $8 per hour and three at $10 per hour, and a fully-paid group insurance plan by the employer (life insurance, accidental death insurance, weekly indemnity, extended medical, dental, and vision care). If the minimum wage went to

$10 per hour, the three employees at $10 per hour would have to be paid $12 per hour. An employer must adjust the pay rates of all the employees if the minimum wage went up. Also the employer’s share of benefits now increases. If the minimum wage went to $10 per hour, this sample small business has two choices to make. Those two choices would be to lay off the two employees at $8 per hour, or to increase the selling price of all products sold. All payroll costs have to be passed on to the consumer. JOE SAWCHUK, DUNCAN

Rude treatment of customer Editor: On March 16, my good friend’s elderly mother was feeling unwell, and just happened to pass by a Langley coffee house they both frequent regularly. She politely asked if she could use the washroom, but because they didn’t purchase anything on this particular day, the owner rudely pointed to the “washroom for patrons only” sign and dismissed her like she was a vagrant. My friend’s mother was embarrassed, and in obvious distress by this time, but the

owner simply waved her away so she could attend to her next customer. I believe the owner should have recognized her long-time customer and made an exception to her rule. Secondly, what kind of person treats an elderly woman like that at all? This kind of needless, uncaring treatment is, to me, intolerable. CAROLE VICKERS, LANGLEY

Editor: I would like to thank B. Taylor of Aldergrove for his well-written opinion on the transit referendum. I was leaning toward the “Yes” side (knowing full well that TransLink was being badly mismanaged). However, after reading the letter (The Times, March 24), I have reconsidered. Taylor’s letter was both informative and entertaining. As a mother and grandmother, I can certainly relate to the hand in the cook-

ie jar reference. While better transit is needed, let TransLink and the provincial government do what families do when they need more money — budget better and reallocate. In other words, make do. If and when TransLink gets its act together and shows fiscal responsibility, maybe then the voters would consider adding to the pot. V. CALLAGHAN, LANGLEY

Let’s not think ahead Editor: Re: Letter from B. Taylor (March 24). Gee, Mr. Taylor — let’s not think ahead for future generations. Let’s think of as many excuses as we can to vote ‘no.’ And perhaps if enough of us selfish self-centred “no more of my money” boomers vote ‘no’ to the tiny 0.5 per cent sales tax, we can leave the following generations even more of a mess to clean up after us. That will be on top of the $614 billion national debt, and estimated many many billions in toxic messes like the Giant gold mine fiasco, as well as the catastrophic costs of climate change issues

coming at them. These include more frequent and drastic weather-related fire, flood, and drought damage, as well as the resultant ever more expensive food. On top of all this, the boomer-echo generation has been warned to prepare to pay for an exponential increase in health care costs to warehouse a “tsunami” of Alzheimered boomers. I wonder if they’ll eventually find a far less expensive final solution to relieve that problem, to help them pay for all the other inherited challenges we’re leaving them? R.L. READ, LANGLEY

Willoughy Doctors of Optometry Have you noticed a change in your vision? Perhaps your son’s teacher has recommended he get an eye exam? Maybe your mom has complained to you that her laptop screen isn’t as ‘clear’ as it used to be? If this sounds familiar, then it’s time for a visit to the doctors at the Willoughby Doctors of Optometry Clinic. Did you know many eye diseases do not have any symptoms and do not change your vision in the early stages. You may not even know you have an eye disease. Your vision is important and whether you are 3 or 93, it’s important to have your eyes examined on a regular basis. Dr. Raj Mann and Dr. Maye Doldolea at Willoughby Doctors of Optometry are passionate about eye care and will make sure that your trip to the clinic is a pleasant experience. The doctors recommend a comprehensive eye exam every year for seniors and children but for healthy adults, every two years is adequate. This is unless you are experiencing a change in your vision and in that case you should book an appointment right away. Both doctors agree that it’s important to test a child’s vision and eye health starting at age of six to 12 months. In addition they offer a special program for children up to the age of 16. The ‘I AM GROWING’ Program is designed for your child’s specific needs and

active lifestyle. A perk of this program is that if your child loses their glasses they can get the replacement lenses for free and you pay for the frame only. Also if within 16 months, their vision changes, their new lenses will be provided free of charge. The clinic offers a complete range of lenses including impact resistant glasses that have full UV protection. Ask them about their specialty lenses to relieve strain for computer and tablet users. It’s true that eye exams for children and youth up to 19 are covered by their BC Medical. Additionally both doctors recommend that your child’s eyes should also be tested using a digital retinal imaging device called an Optomap®. There is a small additional fee for this scan but getting a baseline retinal image of the health of your children’s eyes, it’s well worth it. The Optomap® technology is included in all adult eye exams. The Optomap® ultra-wide digital retinal image allows 80% of the retina to be examined in a single view. This is contrary to traditional methods which reveal only 10 - 15% of the retina at one time. It is completely painless and can be performed without dilation. The Willoughby Doctors of Optometry Clinic is only one of two in Langley that offers this technology. If there is a concern for retinal

New England College of Optometry. She is fluent in Punjabi and practiced at Complete Eye Care in Abbotsford before opening the Willoughby Doctors of Optometry Clinic with Dr. Doldolea. Dr. Mann is passionate about eye care and says that one of the most satisfying aspects of her practice is seeing the impact that good vision has on her patient’s lives. “A loss of vision changes your life both emotionally and physically. When I can help someone see, it is very rewarding,” she said. Dr. Mann is married with two children. Dr. Maye Doldolea graduated from Simon Fraser University and went on to the Illinois College of Optometry to receive her degree as a doctor of Optometry. She enjoys the challenge of working with complicated contact lens fittings and takes great pleasure in educating her patients on Computer Vision Syndrome. She enjoys seeing patients of all ages. Dr. Doldolea lives in Surrey and is married with two children. She enjoys a healthy lifestyle with her family which includes golf, snowboarding, camping and cycling or scootering around Vancouver The clinic is fully wheelchair accessible and conveniently located in Willoughby at the new Willoughby Town Centre just off 208 Street.

Examination of the eyes can reveal other conditions as well such as Glaucoma, Agerelated Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Diabetic Retinopathy or Keratoconus. To correct Keratoconus, a disease of the cornea, a special lens has been developed. A Scleral Lens will alleviate the effects of this condition and both doctors are very skilled at fitting their patients comfortably. Willoughby Optometry Clinic is a full spectrum eye clinic and has an in store dispensary. The clinic can fit you for contact lenses and for some prescriptions an instore lab ensures that you can get your new glasses in an hour. Unique to this clinic are exclusive designer frames such as Tiffany & Co., Tory Burch and Michael Kors. There is a large selection of contact lens and despite the misconception that contact lenses are less expensive online, here, some prescriptions are available for less than what you see online. Prior to your visit, check out the clinic’s website.

Wide range of talents on show at semifinal LHT FINALS HIT STAGE AT CLA ON APRIL 18 BR ENDA ANDER SON Tim es Reporter

D AN FER GUS ON L an gley Tim es ph otos

Top: Vocal trio Trinity’s performance of Candyman by Christina Aguilera earned them a spot in the LHT finals, through the audience vote; right Juannis Tsigonias sang a Michael Jackson mash-up that impressed the judges enough to send him through to the April 18 show; above: judges Leah Emmott, Michael Roberds and Jolienne Moore had their work cut out in selecting the top 12 acts.

With acts ranging from hip hop to lyrical dance, a rapper, a pair of heart-stopping aerial acts, more than a dozen musical performances and even a slam poet, the fifth and final Langley Has Talent competition, held at Christian Life Assembly on Saturday, was a variety show in the truest form of the word. Judged by talent agent Jolienne Moore, TV and film actor Michael Roberds and musician Leah Emmott, the field of 23 semifinalists was narrowed to 12 acts that will return to the stage at CLA on April 18 to compete for a top prize of $2,500 in cash as well as a range of industry prizes. “The judges deliberated for an hour after the show, trying to narrow down the field and, in the end, got a lineup that will certainly provide a highly entertaining show that will highlight Langley’s talent level,” said master of ceremonies and Langley Rotarian, Peter Luongo. Among those heading through to the finals will be trapeze artist Caitlyn Mckenzie and silk aerialist Amanda Wormald, both of whom wove their magic high above the stage, without benefit of a harness or a net. Returning for the third time, rapper Josh G. kicked it old school with a mash-up that included the theme from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, while newcomer, spoken word artist Rachel Sault, personified a cork speaking to a wine bottle in a poem that featured plenty of clever turns of phrase. Among the vocalists advancing, Haley

Cinergy Film Festival premieres student talent ANNUAL STUDENT FILM FE STIVAL FEATURES SOMETHING FOR EVERY FILM LOVER Love film? Why not plan to be among the first to see new work from up-and-coming filmmakers on April 13 at Cinergy, the 10th annual student film festival, from Trinity Western University’s School of the Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC). Film students from SAMC’s Media + Communication program have fused their artistry and education to create the short films screening on campus in the Northwest Auditorium. An assortment of genres — from comedy and drama to documentary and experimental — are represented in the festival’s lineup, with something for every film lover. Romantic comedy fans will enjoy Emet, the story of a person living with obsessive com-

pulsive disorder who needs to learn to let go and love. Breakage, an experimental film, reveals the beauty of entropy and things falling apart. Igloo is a coming-of-age story about an immigrant girl’s first day of school. The ubiquitous selfie is featured in a film comprised of submitted footage from around the world. The group of students behind the Jidori Motion Selfie Challenge (Jidori means “to take a photo of yourself” in Japanese) aims to highlight the beauty and diversity found in people and places. “The Cinergy student film festival is the result of a pressure cooker, real-world model of filmmaking where students have to produce, write, shoot, direct, edit, and market their

films within a tight budget and a ‘drop dead’ time limit,” said Kevin Schut, chair of the SAMC Media + Communication department. “That they can pull off quality films within these limits is a testament to their talent and work ethic.” Festival-goers will vote for the Audience Favourite Award, with other awards adjudicated by professionals from Vancouver’s film and TV industry. Cinergy is presented as part of SAMC’s Festival of the Arts, Media + Culture with support from Flying Horse Design Studio. It takes place on Monday, April 13 at 7:30 p.m. at Northwest Auditorium (TWU). Admission by donation ($2 suggested).

Bouey, returning for her third year, performed a rendition of Patsy Cline’s Crazy, which the judges called “perfection.” The Horvat Family, a three-piece ensemble that is becoming well known for performing at charitable events around Langley, gave a rousing rendition of the Johnny Cash hit, Jackson. “Even the ‘fan favourite’ was a neckand-neck race, with fewer than 10 votes making a difference in the audience’s choice,” Luongo said. In the end, the crowd selected Trinity, a trio of female vocalists who sang Christina Aguilera’s 1940s-style swing tune, Candyman, to go through to the final competition. “This was the best audience to date,” said Luongo. “There was clearly a great atmosphere in the building and the performers very much fed off of the energy.” In addition to the 13 finalists, the April 18 show will feature guest performances from last year’s winners, “A Guy and a Girl” — Jesse and Kathleen, as well as instructors from Langley’s Cirque school, where two of this year’s finalists were trained. Presented by Langley’s four Rotary clubs, the annual contest, which began in the spring of 2011, is intended to draw attention to the need for a dedicated performing arts facility in the Langleys. Tickets are on sale for the LHT finals on Saturday, April 18 at Christian Life Assembly. They are $20 each, available online at langleyhastalent.com or at the Langley Times office, 20258 Fraser Hwy.

TWU choirs, orchestra celebrate Easter and Italy CONCERTS OFFER RANGE OF WORKS AS PART OF FESTIVAL OF ARTS, MEDIA + CULTURE

Langley is invited to ring in the spring with a series of performances by the musicians of Trinity Western University’s School of the Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC). On April 4, the choirs of TWU present Journey to the Cross. SAMC’s concert choir, chamber choir, chamber singers, and masterworks chorus present a reflective and poignant collection of works to suit the mood of Holy Saturday. One hundred singers perform pieces from the Renaissance to present day, including 10 Canadian works, two of which are arrangements by director of choral activities, Joel Tranquilla, and one original composition, The Peace of God, by SAMC dean David Squires. Other highlights include a world premiere of Nyne otpushchayeshi (a setting of the Song of Simeon, Luke 2, in Church Slavonic) by Ontario composer Jeff

Enns, and Frank Martin’s Mass for Double Choir. “The Mass for Double Choir is an exquisitely beautiful work that has become a modern masterwork of the choral repertoire, and one of the most important mass settings of the 20th century,” Tranquilla said. ••• On April 10 and 11, get a taste of Italy at Italy Amore, featuring the SAMC orchestra and a guest performance by the award-winning SAMC piano trio. Coached by Heilwig von Koenigsloew, the trio of violin, cello, and

piano will perform Johannes Brahms’ romantic Piano Trio No. 3 in C minor followed by Paul Schoenfield’s CaféMusic, a complex and lively blend of classical and jazz. The SAMC Orchestra performs an Italian opera favourite, Overture to The Barber of Seville by Gioachino Rossini, conducted by a fourth-year music major, Abbotsford’s Rob Workman. The concerts are presented as part of TWU’s Festival of the Arts, Media + Culture with support from Flying Horse Design Studio. Journey to the Cross begins at 7:30 p.m. on

Trinity Western University’s choirs and orchestra will present a series of concerts in April, celebrating the meaning of Easter and the music of Italy. Performances will take place in Langley and Abbotsford.

An artistic endeavour LINES OF ENDEAVOUR, AN EXHIBIT BY OPEN STUDIO ARTISTS, WILL BE ON DISPLAY AT FORT GALLERY FROM APRIL 1 TO 19 Lines of Endeavour, a group show at the Fort Gallery by members of the Open Studio, will be on display at the artists’ co-operative gallery in Fort Langley from Wednesday, April 1 to Sunday, April 19 Lines of Endeavour is a collection of work by 10 local artists from the Open Studio community art education program. The aim of Open Studio is to provide moral support, technical help and honest critique to amateur artists so that they can continue to develop and explore their own ideas, methods and materials. The lines of endeavour within this Open Studio group are many. Each artist’s life and exploration of it through their art are ostensibly linear journeys. However, the exchange that Open Studio provides means that these lines bend, interact overlap and divide, providing a supportive network. Open Studio sessions have a refrain: ‘This is so hard!’ (just as any honest endeavour should be). There is no final arrival or product and each new endeavour poses new problems and challenges. “It would seem that making art is about as goalless as housework. However, for most members the process itself is the reward — constant space to improve, be enlightened, discover new ways of doing and seeing,” reads a statement released by Open Studio. The exhibit’s opening reception is Saturday, April 4, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Gallery hours are Wednesday to Sunday, from noon to 5 p.m. For more information, visit the web site at www.fortgallery.ca.

Blazers crowned midget Cup champs GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

When it came to tournament play, the Langley Blazers always seemed to excel. And the Langley Cup was no different. Seeded ninth out of the nine teams in the field, the Blazers lost their first game, but then ran the table, reeling off five straight wins to capture the Langley Cup midget division championship. The team was also able to avenge their lone loss off the double-elimination house hockey tournament, defeating Langley LY1 7-3 in the championship final on March 15 at the George Preston Recreation Centre. “They were missing a couple of their better players and didn’t seem to have the usual jump in their game,” said Blazers coach Frank Sever. “Our team was firing on all cylinders however, and came out playing hard.” The Blazers scored early and were up 2-0 after one period and 5-0 after 40 minutes. Sever said the roster, from top to bottom, came through during the Cup run. “They should all be proud of their performance — I know I am — and

completely deserved the win.” The win caps off a season that got off to a slow start. “The first eight games saw us struggle as the team got to know each other,” Sever said, adding that a tournament in Cloverdale seemed to be a turning point for the squad. “That brought the crew together and we started to play as a team. We placed second in that tournament, losing in overtime,” he said. “(But) from there on, the team was solid and played well throughout the rest of the year.” The team did well against teams from outside Langley during league play, but struggled against their fellow LMHA squads, hence being seeded ninth out of the nine teams for the Langley Cup competition. “The Langley Cup is sort of the Stanley Cup of house hockey,” Sever said. “The players are all proud and excited to be named the Cup champions. It gives them bragging rights until next year and then the competition begins all over again. “According to my son, other tournament wins pale in comparison.” The Blazers played in three tournaments during the season, recording only four losses in 17 games.

Walker’s late goal sends Eagles to Cup victory GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

Colby Walker played hero as his late goal broke a 1-1 tie and helped the Langley Eagles capture the Langley Cup. Walker’s late goal sent the Eagles to a 2-1 victory over Langley LY5 in the bantam Cup final on March 15 at the George Preston Recreation Centre. “It was a great game to be a part of and was evidenced by the quality of hockey that is played at a house level

in Langley,” said Eagles coach Greg Fuchs. “Both goalies (Josh Diebert and Kevin Craig) played great and there were several chances, including a few goal posts.” It was a clean game as well, the coach said, as each team was whistled for just one infraction. “Our season went well, being very competitive all year with close finishes in both the league play and playoffs,” the coach added.

And to cap it off with a Cup victory is special. “I feel that the Langley Cup may be more important to the kids than any other tournament,” Fuchs said. “Teams change players every year and so many kids know each other that the competitive nature comes out in most of them. “They see each other at school, soccer, baseball, ball hockey, etc. and get to remind their friends that this was their year for the Langley Cup.”

Spitfires’ Andreone pots winner GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Xander Andreone netted the winning goal with less than three minutes to play, sending the Langley Spitfires to a 3-2 come-from-behind victory in the Langley atom Cup championship game. The game against the Langley Snipers was tied at two in the late stages of the third period on March

15 at the George Preston Recreation Centre. The two teams were meeting in the finals of the Langley Minor Hockey Association’s house division playoffs. Andreone had also opened the scoring and after the Spitfires fell behind 2-1, Sycher Kooner tied the game at two. This is the second straight year

coach Darcy Frederick — as well as some of the players — won the atom division championship. “The Langley Cup was a great win for the team as we had a somewhat disappointing playoffs in league play,” Frederick said. The team went 2-2-1 in the playoffs to finish third after winning the regular season league banner at 7-2-1. Overall, the season has been suc-

cessful. In addition to the Langley Cup and regular season title, the Spitfires won a tournament in Squamish and lost in a shootout in the finals of another tournament in Seattle. “Our goal at the beginning of the year was to facilitate the growth of the players as a team and individual skill level while enjoying the great game,” Frederick said.

Brawdy hat trick paces Wolves to Cup win GARY AHUJA Times Sports

After a close call in the semifinals, the Langley Wolves were determined not to let the opportunity to win the Langley Cup slip away. “We faced a very stout effort in our semifinal that reminded us how hard we need to work to achieve our goals,” said Wolves coach Chris Brawdy. “Simple lessons like these can really galvanize a team

and we were not going to get out-hustled in the final.” The Wolves defeated the Langley Fury 6-3 in the championship final of the peewee division of the Langley Cup on March 15 at the George Preston Recreation Centre. This was the second straight year Brawdy coached his team to the Cup championship. After falling behind 1-0, the Wolves scored three straight goals and never

looked back. Luca Guiotto opened the scoring with an absolute laser of a shot over the goaltender’s shoulder and the Wolves were well on their way. Guiotto scored twice while Henry Brawdy had a hat trick. Eric Lim had the team’s other goal. The Fury did cut the lead to 3-2 after one period, but they could never get the equalizer. Shaine Hoy, Curtis Goode

and Gavin Drake scored for the Fury. “We knew as a team that if we were able to approach the Langley Cup in solidarity with our leaders committed to staying disciplined and our younger players committed to challenging themselves to make great hockey plays, we would win,” Brawdy said. The coach said goaltender Jordyn Verbeek, as well as players Henry Brawdy and Karan Athwal stood out in

the championship game. The Cup championship wraps up a successful season for the hockey team. They won one tournament in Chase and lost in the shootout in the finals of another in Seattle. Overall, the team sported a record of 34-5-7-1. “We were blessed to have a good group of kids who enjoyed playing hockey, improving their skills and encouraging each other,” the coach said.

Quartet going for gold with Team BC ringette Four local ringette players are on the roster for Team BC at the 2015 Tim Horton’s Canadian ringette national championships. Sarah MacDonald, Rachel Gauthier, Sydney Schwartz and Tiana Ollive are on the provincial U19 squad for the championships, which run this week (March 30 to April 4). The tournament is being held in Wood Buffalo, Alta. MacDonald is a goaltender while Gauthier plays forward. Schwartz and Ollive play defence. Mitch Schwartz is an assistant coach on the squad.
