Police are investigating the stabbing death of a man outside Baselines Pub in Langley City on Monday evening. A suspect was arrested a short time after the incident in the parking lot behind the Langley Times office.

Dairy cow killed in cougar attack YEAR-OLD HEIFER ATTACKED ON FARM NEAR CAMPBELL VALLEY PARK MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

Dairy farmers Ralph and Sonja Anderlini are warning the public about a cougar in south Langley after one of their young cows was killed early Sunday morning. The 800-pound heifer was found dead in a pasture on 18 Avenue off of 216 Street, near Campbell Valley Park. “We could tell it was a cougar because of how the cow was killed and the conservation officer confirmed it,” said Sonja.

A cougar goes after the jugular in the neck of an animal.

In 13 years of farming in the area, the Anderlinis have never lost any of their livestock to wild animals. “The heifer was killed 150 feet from the house and pool deck,” she said. “We really just want to make south Langley residents aware this happened and that there is a cougar in the area.” The Conservation Office Service confirmed that it is a cougar and they have set up live traps in the area.

One man is dead and another is in custody following a stabbing near the Baselines Pub at Fraser Highway and 203 Street on Monday evening. Around 7 p.m., Langley RCMP started getting calls from citizens witnessing the suspect actively stabbing the victim. Officers arrived and chased the suspect. He was apprehended a few blocks away, behind the Langley Times office and Me N Ed’s pizza parlour. A large amount of blood was visible on the sidewalk outside the Langley Hotel and Baselines Pub, in the 20300 block of Fraser Highway. Continued Page 5

If YOU ENCOUNTER A COUGAR: • Stay calm and keep the cougar in view. Pick up children immediately — children frighten easily, the noise and movements they make could provoke an attack. Back away slowly, ensuring that the animal has a clear avenue of escape. Make yourself look as large as possible. Keep the cougar in front of you at all times. • Never run or turn your back on a cougar. Sudden movement may provoke an attack. • If a cougar shows interest or follows you, respond aggressively. Maintain eye contact with the cougar, show your teeth and make loud noises. Continued Page 5

The money raised from this year’s gala will go to help feed the 3,000 Langley students who come to school hungry every day, said Cairns. “It’s hard to believe but it’s true,” she said. “Principals were calling me asking me to raise funds for our kids who are hungry. I started looking into it and an estimated 3,000 students come to school without breakfast and have no packed lunch.” The program is called Food for Thought with the focus on providing breakfast, lunch and snack for these students in need. The cost will be around $300,000 per year, said Cairns. “We are getting there towards our goal. But there is no way a kid can learn on an empty stomach.”

An unprecedented $70,000 was raised at the 10th annual Langley School District Foundation’s Grand Prix gala held on Sunday. Under beautiful blue skies, hundreds of supporters, many donned in their best big hats, took in a world-class horse jumping competition, sipped on the best wines from 11 different wineries and nibbled on delicious food offered all day at Thunderbird Show Park. “It was an amazing day. We had a full house, with 250 guests,” said Foundation executive director Susan Cairns. The show jumping saw the best of the best from around North America compete in the qualifying round, said Cairns.

City tells Port ‘step up and be a good corporate citizen’ COUNCIL WANTS TO KNOW STATUS OF PROMISED OVERPASS ELECTRONIC SIGNS B REN D A AN D E R SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The City of Langley would like more than lip service in return for its contribution to Port Metro Vancouver’s overpass combo project — an undertaking which saw three railway overpasses built along its borders, but nothing within the municipality itself. The City contributed $8.3 million to the project, which was completed last fall with the opening of the Mufford overpass. It’s a figure that works out to about $307 per resident. By comparison, they say, neighbouring Langley Township and Surrey each contributed about $55 per capita. Now it’s time for Port Metro to step up and be a good corporate citizen, City of Langley Mayor Ted Schaffer told Rhona Hunter, director of infrastructure sustain-

ability for Port Metro Vancouver. At council’s May 25 meeting, Hunter provided an update about the corporation’s Deltaport 2 project, noting that, despite the lack of a port facility in Langley City, the expansion will create jobs for local residents. Twenty per cent of goods entering Canada, do so through Port Metro Vancouver, Hunter said. It is the largest port in Canada and the fourth largest on the continent. But it was local infrastructure that Langley City council members wanted to discuss. Following Hunter’s presentation, councillors peppered her with questions about the corporation’s plans for future contributions to the City. When the overpass project was first presented to council,

the City was promised three electronic signs, to be placed in key locations where drivers approaching the railway tracks would be warned of an approaching train and could re-route accordingly. To date, those signs have not materialized, noted Councillor Dave Hall. The City has already sent a letter to the manager of the project, demanding that they be installed. Councillor Rudy Storteboom commented that the irony is not lost on him when he sees a sign asking him to turn off his engine to help the environment as trainloads of coal rattle past, bound for factories in China and, many suggest, spilling coal dust along the way. With more and longer trains expected to pass through the community in the coming decade, Storteboom wondered whether Port Metro would be willing to

contribute an air monitoring station. However the mayor is thinking much bigger. “You’re creating jobs, sure. But what are you doing for this community?” he asked Hunter. Schaffer pointed out that a car dealership which recently opened in the City provided $10,000 to plant trees in the City. “I don’t see Port Metro knocking on our door, saying they want to help with the new Timms Centre.” In fact, Schaffer told The Times, he’d like to see Port Metro contribute a share of funds toward the construction of a bridge over at least one of the City’s three major railway crossings — 200 Street, Fraser Highway or the Bypass. “I feel we’re being pushed around,” said Schaffer. “With large corporations, small cities always get pushed around.” Hunter noted there are a num-

ber of programs to which the City can apply for funding. “Do we have to chase you down?” Schaffer asked. Hunter replied that Port Metro has been discussing options for reinvestment and “community legacy.” “I’m confident we will be able to acquire funds and deliver (services),” said Hunter. “I somewhat disagree,” replied Schaffer. Hunter told council she would look into the status of the warning signs and get back to the City. Schaffer said during a later conversation that he didn’t think Hunter was in a position to be able to answer many of the questions put to her. Council had expected to hear from Cliff Stewart, vice president of infrastructure, but he was giving a similar presentation to Township council that evening. “I look forward to Mr. Stewart having a conversation with our CAO,” said Schaffer on May 25.

Coleman speaks against proposed boundary changes FRAN K B U CH O LT Z Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The proposed change in Langley provincial electoral boundaries has prompted a response from Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA

and deputy premier Rich Coleman, as well as from the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce. Few other Langley residents bothered to comment on the

proposed boundaries, which would split Colemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing riding into two, and add large areas of Abbotsford to each of the two ridings. They would be divided by Highway 1,

according to the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original proposal. The proposed shifts are due to population growth, as the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandate is to create ridings that

STORE CLOSING Lease Ending

Everything Must Be Sold!

are roughly equal in population, except for several large, far-flung northern ridings. According to the Electoral Boundaries Commission website, there were only four other comments from Langley. That contrasts with hundreds of comments from Hope residents, who are concerned that their area will be split away from an existing riding in Chilliwack and attached to a riding including Merritt and several other interior communities. Coleman proposed to the commission on May 26 that Abbotsford not be included in any Langley ridings. Instead, he is suggesting that the area east of 264 Street, which includes urban Aldergrove, be attached to two Abbotsford ridings. The portion north of Highway 1 should be added to Abbotsford West, while south of Highway 1, he suggests inclusion in Abbotsford South. He also recommends that two portions of his existing riding go

to the new Langley riding â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an area of Willoughby north of 72 Avenue and south of Highway 1, as far east as 208 Street; and the area east of 216 Street and west of 232 Street, south of 56 Avenue. This would include all of Murrayville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do know that people in Aldergrove do have a common community with people in Abbotsford,â&#x20AC;? he said in the submission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, 264 Street is probably the best line to use to move population from Langley into Abbotsford, with the least disruption to Langley overall.â&#x20AC;? He had told The Times in April that he was concerned about the lack of common concerns between people in South Langley near the Surrey border and those in Abbotsford. He also noted that the proposed ridings divide both Langley and Abbotsford. In addition to his comments about the Langley ridings, Coleman also proposed that the ridings further

east in the Fraser Valley respect municipal boundaries as much as possible, and that Hope be included in a Chilliwack-Hope riding. The Langley chamber also spoke against the proposed new boundaries. President Kristine Simpson said in a letter to the commission that â&#x20AC;&#x153;proposed east-west divisions impose significant challenges on elected officials representing multiple municipalities.â&#x20AC;? She noted that the two Langleys are members of Metro Vancouver, while Abbotsford is part of the Fraser Valley Regional District. The two Langleys are part of TransLink as well â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Abbotsford is not. The chamber recommends electoral boundaries with more focus on a north/south alignment. Public input on the proposed boundary changes took place in April and May. The commission is now preparing a final report, which will go to the B.C. Legislature.

An officer walks near the scene of a stabbing death in Langley City on Tuesday morning. Much of the area around 56 Avenue and 203 Street was taped off.

Suspect in stabbing is known to police Stabbing, from Page 1

CPR was initiated on the victim, and he was transported to hospital in grave condition. He later died. “One person has died as a result of this incident,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Largy on Monday night. Blood was also visible on the suspect’s clothing as he was arrested. Integrated Homicide Investigation Team Sgt. Stephanie Ashton said the suspect is known to police.

Yellow police tape remained up until Tuesday in the area where the stabbing occurred, as well as an area to the west of the hotel, while IHIT investigated. The dead man is believed to have been in his 20s. His name won’t be released until next of kin have been notified, said Ashton. The two men were in an altercation of some sort before the suspect started stabbing the victim, said Ashton.

Cougar not a threat to public safety, says COS Cougar attack, from Page 1

From Page 1

Conservation officers don’t believe the cougar poses a risk to public safety and say this is the only killing of livestock that the COS knows of in Langley. The Anderlinis think there may have been a cougar passing through their area a while back when their mares started screaming in the middle of the night. They don’t think they have coyotes nearby. Despite the death of the yearling, Sonja doesn’t want people to fear going to Campbell Valley Park or anywhere else in south Langley. “Be aware of your surroundings and know what to do if you do see a cougar, but don’t let this stop you from living life,” she said. Cougars rarely go after horses, but it is advised to keep smaller livestock like goats, llamas and sheep inside at night. To report a conflict with wildlife that threatens public safety call 1-877-952-7277.

IF YOU SEE A COUGAR • Arm yourself with rocks or sticks as weapons. Crouch down as little as possible when bending down to pick up things off of the ground. • If a cougar attacks, fight back. Convince the cougar you are a threat and not prey. Use anything you can find as a weapon. Focus your attack on the cougar’s face and eyes. – Source: Conservation Officer Service

PRESENTS Buying a house? Protect yourself. A recent case discusses the frailties of house inspections and the complex body of rules relating to hidden defects in residential dwellings. Peter and Anne (names changed) were looking for a house for their young family. Peter and his dad found one they liked in Chilliwack, not far from where Peter’s dad lived. An offer of $1 million was accepted by the owners, the Millers. The offer was subject to the buyer getting and approving an inspection report against, in effect, any costly or significant defects. The buyer’s inspector identified some deficiencies (nothing major) and the inspection condition was removed. Some days afterwards, Peter’s dad heard through the grapevine that mould and rot had been found in the building a few years earlier during an insurance claim investigation. The Millers rebuffed attempts for a more extensive examination and said the insurance claim problem had been fixed. They also refused to set aside money from the sale proceeds to deal with any problems and threatened to pocket the deposit if the sale didn’t go through. So the purchase was completed, with Peter and Anne telling the Millers they’d do a detailed inspection and give the Millers an estimate of the repair costs. The house was discovered to have widespread rot and mould in the outside walls due to two ongoing water problem areas. The repair costs to replace the cladding and some framing was over $140,000. The court reviewed the significant obstacles that a disappointed buyer must overcome to recover damages for defects in a finished house (where there’s no misrepresentation by the seller). If a reasonable inspection by a qualified person would have brought the

defect to light, “buyer beware” generally applies and the buyer has no recourse. Even if the defect was not reasonably detectable upon inspection (i.e. was “latent” not “patent”), the buyer cannot get damages unless he can show (a) the seller was aware of it, or was reckless as to its existence, and (b) the defect makes the house dangerous or unfit for human habitation. Here, the court decided the Millers were responsible for the buyer’s repair costs and part of their legal costs. The defects couldn’t be revealed by a normal inspection because inspectors cannot conduct invasive measures like drilling test holes or removing foam insulation. The Millers, however, were aware of the water and mould problems and had previously been told a proper repair would cost over $50,000. Yet they made only superficial repairs and were reckless as to whether the underlying problem had been fixed. The court also decided the defects made the building dangerous and unfit for human habitation. The court noted that, in their property disclosure statement, the Millers answered “no” to the question of whether they were aware of any moisture and/or water problems in the wall. In light of their awareness of past moisture issues and without any reasonable basis for believing such issues had been fixed, this statement amounted to a fraudulent misrepresentation. Although an inspection won’t necessarily reveal every defect, it’s worth doing since you won’t recover the costs of fixing any problems that an inspection would have revealed.

Traffic on 208 Street is increasingly congested as Langley grows. The Township is looking into accelerating widening of the busy route from two into four lanes.

Cost of widening 208 St. looked at MAYOR’S CAMPAIGN PROMISE RECALLED DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter

The cost of widening busy 208 street ahead of schedule is currently being calculated by Langley Township staff, who expect to have a detailed estimate for council by the summer. In a May 21 email, Paul Cordeiro, the Township manager of transportation engineering, said staff “are currently undertaking a conceptual design of the corridor to evaluate the cost and budget implications of widening the corridor to the ultimate width [of four lanes].” Cordeiro was responding to a letter to the Township from a resident of 208 Street, Bruce Jones, asking about an election promise by Mayor Jack Froese to possibly speed up expanding 208 from two into four lanes. Currently, the work is being done piecemeal by developers building along the route, but in a press conference shortly before winning re-election, Froese said it might be time to speed things up and look at widening 208 Street without waiting for developers to fund the improvements.

In Jones’ letter, which appeared in The Times’ May 20 edition, he praised the Froese proposal, calling it a great idea that would ease stress for commuters and residents. “Having the Township head up the project would definitely speed up the process; instead of waiting for five to seven years [to complete the transition to four lanes], its benefits could be realized in two,” Jones wrote. In his email to Jones, Cordeiro said the conceptual plan to widen the road will cover 208 Street between 64 and 80 Avenues, and will include the estimated cost of buying land, building roads and greenways, along with installing street lighting and traffic signals. The section between 80 and 84 Avenues will be handled by developers, Cordeiro said. Froese also promised to widen the 208 Street freeway overpass to four lanes within his next term of office. Cordeiro said the Township has invited builders to submit proposals for the design and widening of the freeway overpass.

A ‘Snap-On’ tool chest, the only one of its kind sold in B.C., was stolen during a break-in of a vacant home on Morrison Crescent on May 14. The tool chest is worth around $10,000. An 18-inch long, double-sided dagger was stolen from a home in the 20200 block of Michaud Crescent. The dagger was kept in a brown leather sheath. A photo of the dagger is on The Times’ website. If you have information about either of these thefts. call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Legal grow-op goes up in smoke A licensed marijuana grow-op went up in smoke inside a rural home in south Langley on Saturday, May 23. Around 1 a.m., Township firefighters were called to the fire in the 2100 block of 216 Street. Heavy smoke was showing through the roof of the large older home. Three fire halls were brought in, including

water tankers, because there are no hydrants in that area, said assistant fire chief Bruce Ferguson. Two people and their dog, who were believed to be living in the home, were not injured in the blaze. The fire doesn’t appear suspicious. The blaze was fairly easy to contain.

The concert, held at Topham Elementary, raised around $2,000 for those impacted by the devastating 2011 tsunami. The taiko drumming group was formed from the Japanese immersion program at Topham Elementary. It is an after school program for Grades 5 to 7, allowing them to explore the traditional Japanese drumming.

Fire dept. issues reminder that burning season ended in April The Langley Township fire department wants to remind people that burning season is long over. They have received and attended numerous burning complaints over the past few weeks and don’t want to fine anyone. Burning season ended April 30. The next burning season is Sept. 1 to Oct. 31. It’s been a very dry May and a predicted hot summer so the Township fire department is urging people to be careful.

Langley Township has proposed a long-term capital program focused on adding bike routes throughout the municipality. The wisdom of adding specified bike routes which are separated from traffic was reinforced on Sunday, when two members of a Whistler bike club were struck and killed along a rural section of Highway 99 near Mount Currie. A vehicle drove right into them and another club member, who survived. One of the two occupants of the vehicle was also killed. Here in Langley, the volume of traffic on busy roads can be a significant challenge for cyclists, even when there are wide shoulders or bike lanes. Several years ago, a cyclist was killed on 200 Street near 83 Avenue when a driver crashed his car into him. There have been other serious injuries over the years. The deaths came at the conclusion of Bike to Work Week, a time each year when people are encouraged to take up cycling. There are many good reasons to do so. Cycling promotes better health, has minimal impact on the environment and can be a relaxed way to travel. Many cyclists take the sport very seriously and do training rides almost every day. Many of them use Langley streets for that purpose, and they often travel in large groups. Cyclists need to be wary of vehicle traffic. High-visibility gear, mirrors and a lack of distractions are all important tools for the cyclist. Vehicle drivers need to exercise patience when encountering cyclists, who sometimes have no choice but to ride on the roadways. Motorists also need to put away distractions and pay attention to what’s going on in front of them. The roads in Langley are numerous enough to accommodate cars, trucks and cyclists. At the same time, there are more separated bike and pedesytrian paths built each year, and these are the safest alternatives for cyclists to use. Let’s hope there is no repeat of this terrible tragedy in other communities.

Question

of the week

Should killer Allan Schoenborn be allowed escorted absences from the psychiatric hospital he’s confined to?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Bikes were common they

Oh, how things have changed. Fifty years ago the bicycles were lined up thick outside a Chilliwack elementary school. A photograph that ran on the front page of a 1964 edition of the Chilliwack Progress shows nearly a hundred bikes neatly stacked in bike racks. Today, we sponsor a special week to encourage people to bike to work or school. Bike to Work Week had its beginnings in Victoria in 2005 as a way to encourage people to leave their automobiles at home and opt for a two-wheeled commute. The program has enjoyed success. Last year more than 25,000 people from 44 communities took part. Collectively, they saved an estimated $61,000 in gas, burned 28.6 million calories and prevented more that 207,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. This year, organizers hoped to expand the program to include schools. “Riding to school builds physical activity into kids’ daily routine, supports in-class concentration, and provides a foundation for healthy lifestyles and a lifelong love of cycling,” they argue. “More students cycling to school reduces traffic congestion and makes your school a safer place. Plus, it’s fun and also helps the environment.” In 1964, Chilliwack students didn’t need to be told that. All they knew was that cycling was an exhilarating and liberating way to get to and from school. It was quick, convenient, and a graduating step to maturity. Today, nary a bike can be seen on most school grounds. Those students brave enough to bring one have them locked inside steel containers on site to prevent theft. Instead of bikes, cars and trucks are the vehicles that choke the approaches to school. They line up early, vying for position as dismissal time approaches. There are, of course, many reasons for this shift. But it’s not until we take a look back that we see just how far we’ve come — and how much we’ve lost. — Chilliwack Progress

Camp helps teens Editor: In Vancouver on June 18, a fundraiser is being held for a summer leadership camp called The Yes. The Yes is a charitable society that operates in Vancouver, and one that has changed the lives of many teenagers, myself included. The interesting thing about The Yes is that it operates on principles of cooperation, leadership, and respect. Too often it seems these principles are void or corrupt in today’s world, particularly in the youngest generation. I have seen firsthand how The Yes changes this status quo. At The Yes, teenagers are free from the emotional and social boundaries they are placed in at home and at school. In a community of love and respect, these people are invited to take charge of their lives, make the best friends they’ve ever had, and become confident, compassionate members of society. The Yes is also sponsored by several co-ops in the Lower Mainland such as VanCcity, and most teens who go to The Yes are fully sponsored, with no extracurricular or grade standards for application, by institutions such as these. The fundraiser is looking for silent auction and cash donations. Profits from these proceeds will go towards sending more kids to camp as well as other camp-related costs. To donate or for more information, contact camp director Chelsea Lake at director@theyes.ca. SAMANTHA PETERS, LANGLEY

A toll on seniors Editor: I have sent the following letter to Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman. I am an 11-year resident of Fort Langley. My husband and I are seniors. We are retired from our “day jobs” and are on fixed incomes. I have just had a look at my recent TREO bill and find it is over $56 already, and it is not even the end of May. Maybe it is small change for many, but to us it is a big dent in our disposable income. We regularly travel to Vancouver, Port Coquitlam and Maple Ridge to visit family, and for medical services. We find these tolls increasingly onerous. With the recent announcement of the closing of the Pattullo Bridge to most traffic for a year and a half, the future looks even more bleak. Not only are alternative routes to avoid tolls being shut off, but also the traffic volume will be unpleasant. And we have to pay it — both ways. We’re just regular folks — senior folks — but if we are finding it difficult to make ends meet, we know we are not the only ones feeling the pinch. Actually, I think the pinch has broken the skin. These are difficult times and if there is some way you can ease the expense of bridge travel, it would be appreciated. I suggest now would be a time when you could reduce the tolls by half. You’ll get an increase in the volume of traffic anyway, and you can look like a hero. Thanks for all you do for B.C. citizens. MYRNA PFEIFER, FORT LANGLEY

D A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s

Joyce King speaks at a special meeting of members of Langley Seniors Resource Centre, held last Tuesday. A motion to remove the board of directors was rejected by a three to one margin.

Meeting tone disappointing Editor: I was very disappointed at the tone of the special general meeting, held on Tuesday, May 26 at the Langley Seniors Centre. I am one of the group of concerned members who questioned their actions that appeared to be noncompliant with the bylaws and constitution of the Langley Senior Resource Society. According to the board, our concern for the centre put us into the category of being bullies for the rest of the meeting. We want the membership to know that our petition “asked for a meeting to review the actions of the current

board of directors, where set actions did not follow the bylaws as listed in the Senior Resource Society Constitution, dated Oct. 17, 1995, as well as review of staffing changes and iniquities during the last six months.” However, the board called the meeting and set the agenda. We were very shocked that it proposed a resolution for the removal of the board. We did not ask for, nor did we want such a drastic step as they took. JAN SCHEUERMAN, LANGLEY

Ride 2 Survive riders visit Langley Editor: The Ride 2 Survive riders made 41A Avenue in Langley their training destination on Saturday, May 30. This entirely volunteer fund-raising team donates every penny they raise to cancer research. There are no administration costs involved. This year’s efforts are dedicated to brain tumour research. One of the riders, Steve Parsons, lost his son (my grandson) to brain cancer. Had the diagnosis been delivered to-

day, the treatment available may have saved his life. I have survived metastatic colon cancer for eight years, thanks to people like the riders who came here on Saturday. The courage, time and help these volunteers freely give is appreciated more than we survivors can express. JOYCE THOMPSON, LANGLEY

They raised $6,895 for the fight for a cure, with the total raised from the day breaking records at $175,000. The Kikkerts have raised $30,000 towards prostate cancer research in five years. More than 100 riders took to the roads around Vancouver and the Fraser Valley and followed that up at a show and shine that attracted 150 vehicles and bikes. Bro Jake emceed the day.

The Kikkerts got involved in fundraising because Tim’s dad is a 12-year survivor and he has also had two uncles impacted. “Amy has always been a passenger but has now bought a motorcycle and I’m currently training her with the hope that she’ll be by my side this year,” said Tim a month before the ride.

am happy to report that the improvements and furnishings are very near complete and our staff are now working in the new premises at 8047 199th Street. New owners have now taken possession of our former location and we wish them much success. Please watch your email and our social media for announcement of a grand opening that we plan to host in the very near future. We also greatly appreciate the efforts of Dennis Martini of Martini Construction, and all of his tradespeople, to complete the construction in a very short period of time! The Board and staff look forward to welcoming you to view the larger and more suitable facilities, and we are all proud of the asset for the Chamber well into the future. In preparation for the Annual General Meeting to be held next month, the Board has passed a preliminary budget for the coming year. I wish to advise that we will not, at this time, be requesting a dues increase. While the acquisition of the new property was possible without the need for mortgage financing it did diminish a considerable portion of our reserve funds and all of the proceeds of the sale of the Glover Road property. We will be unable to determine the actual increase in operating costs immediately and are very confident we have sufficient resources to continue into the next fiscal year at the current membership rate levels. Also on the agenda for the AGM is the election of Officers and Directors to form the 2015-2016 Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee is seeking nominations for individuals to fill the following positions: Vice-President, Community Director for South Langley and 4 DirectorsAt-Large. Nomination Forms are available by calling Lynn at the Chamber Office and they must be received no later than 5:00 pm Monday June 8. Basic criteria for eligible candidates are: • To be prepared to commit 10 to 15 hours per month for Chamber work including attendance at Board Meetings and other Chamber events • To represent and have the ability to speak on behalf of a member-in-good-standing • Free of heavy commitments in other organizations which could involve a conflict of interest, and • Be self-motivated and have the ability to lead other people in challenging work projects

Ten Steps to a Successful Tech Investment Courtesy of Business Development Bank of Canada Before making a technology purchase, entrepreneurs should do their homework. Many major IT implementations such as introducing a new ERP system can go off the rails because the product isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a good fit with a companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. The risks are also increased by the large number of products competing for your dollars. Follow these 10 steps to help ensure your tech purchase turns into a profitable investmentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not a money pit. If you lack the required expertise, hire an experienced independent consultant to advise you.

ONE DELICATE DECISION:

To Lease or Buy Your Space Courtesy of Business Development Bank of Canada ~ www.bdc.ca One of the trickier decisions many entrepreneurs face is choosing between buying and leasing their place of business. There are advantages and disadvantages to both options and, like much else in business, the decision requires lots of analysis and planning. BDC area manager Jean-Philippe Ménard says a well-financed property purchase can free up working capital that can then be used to build the business. “It’s about balancing growth with cash flow,” says Ménard, who is based in BDC’s office in Longueuil, just south of Montreal. “At BDC, we often finance those kinds of purchases because we want to make sure our clients will have enough working capital to grow.” Because of low interest rates, many entrepreneurs have decided to buy in recent years and have seen considerable market appreciation. Besides making a good investment, they benefit from the freedom of not having to deal with a landlord when it comes to rent increases or leasehold improvements. However, Ménard cautions that “there’s a wake-up call coming” for some entrepreneurs, in the form of rising interest rates. He notes that many younger businesspeople have never experienced the costs that come with higher rates. And the possibility of higher rates isn’t the only reason to think twice before buying. Real estate owner and manager Guy Lever recalls lending money to a client to buy a property that the entrepreneur thought was a great deal. Unfortunately, he ran into a variety of cost overruns while trying to renovate the space to suit his purposes. “In the end, the company was almost on the verge of bankruptcy,” says Lever, who has 30 years of real estate investment experience. Lever, whose real estate holdings include an office building in the Montreal area for which BDC provided the first mortgage, offered

several examples of circumstances when it can make sense to buy. Among them are the following. • You are generating ample cash flow and have a stable business. • You need to make a lot of leasehold improvements. “If a manufacturer, for example, needs to invest $1 million in leasehold improvements in a building they can buy for less, it makes sense to buy the property.” • You have real estate experience or are willing to hire someone to manage your property. “Real estate is a business in itself,” Lever says. “There’s a learning curve that you just can’t acquire overnight.” • You’re in an industry with specific technology or security needs. On the other hand, Ménard offered examples of situations where it can make sense for entrepreneurs to lease. Among them are the following. • You’re running a start-up. “Startups are often unable to commit a lot of capital to a building, so they will most likely go for a lease.” • Your business does not have precise space needs and can thus use almost any leased premises. • Your business is growing and you can’t forecast short-term space needs. “If they buy a building that has already maximized its full potential, they will not be able to grow.” • You can move to new premises without much difficulty, if necessary. Ménard points out that some entrepreneurs don’t want to make a long-term commitment to a location. But he cautions that flexibility can work both ways: A landlord can refuse to renew a lease once it expires. That forces businesses to relocate, with all the costs associated with doing so. • You don’t have enough working capital to both grow your business and buy a property.

An act of Brotherly love

LANGLEY HAS TALENT CHAMPIONS WILL PERFORM JUNE 12 AT CHIEF SEPASS THEATRE WHAT: Her Brothers: “She” WHERE: Chief Sepass Theatre 9096 Trattle St. Fort Langley WHEN: Friday, June 12 DOORS: 7 p.m.; show: 7:30 p.m. TICKETS: Langley Fine Arts School theatre box office; Wendel’s Café in Fort Langley (cash only) and online at northerntickets.com ADMISSION: $10 in advance; $13 at the door

They took first place at the fifth and final Langley Has Talent competition earlier this spring. But anyone who missed their prize-winning performance will get another chance to see Her Brothers play live, when they take to the stage at Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley on Friday, June 12. The band, comprised of three Aldergrove brothers — Gabe, 23, Josh, 21 and Levi, 15 — performed Locked Out of Heaven, Uptown Funk and Happy for the crowds at Christian Life Assembly. During the two nights of competition, they wanted to play upbeat and engaging songs that would be immediately recognizable to the audience. This time around, however, the brothers will play original music from their debut CD, She, which was released last January. It’s music, they hope, that, in addition to captivating their audience, will get people talking about an important issue that is near and dear to their hearts — women’s rights. “We want to create an experience that leaves people having a different conversation than when they came in,” said Jonathan Penner, the siblings’ father. That conversation usually begins with a discussion about the band’s name. “It’s an unusual enough name that people will ask. I love that question,” said Gabe, lead singer of Her Brothers.

Su bmitte d pho to

Her Brothers, from left, Levi, Gabe and Josh Penner, will perform a concert featuring original music from their album, She, at Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley on Friday, June 12.

In its simplest form, the answer has to do with their youngest sibling, 12-year-old Tiana. For Gabe, Josh and Levi, being Tiana’s older brothers comes with the responsibility of ensuring their little sister is given the right message about how she deserves to be treated by all the men in her life, now and in the future. “As her brothers, we create her social norms,” said Gabe. The band hopes to inspire men to stand up for, encourage, and become positive male influences in the lives of women who either don’t have a voice or simply can’t speak for themselves. From that perspective, they say, the name Her Brothers just made sense. The three are just normal guys, they say. And all of them have had their heads turned a time or

two by a pretty girl. But during a visit to southeast Asia, Gabe saw an extreme version of what many women are forced to endure at the hands of men. The treatment of women and girls that he witnessed — specifically sex trafficking — gave him pause. What if that were his own sister, he thought. As musicians, the brothers knew they had the perfect vehicle for getting their message out. “Women have been standing up for years for their own rights, when men stand up for that equality, something unique happens,” said Gabe. “I think it transcends equality,” said Jonathan. “It’s about uplifting and actually celebrating women.” “She” carries that message through, with song titles like

Beautiful, Love Over Hate and Family Tree. Gabe wrote or co-wrote every song on the disc. He also plays guitar, bass, drums and keyboards, sings, writes and produces. In fact, all the Penner siblings are self-taught, multi-instrument musicians. Josh plays guitar and bass, Levi plays drums and keyboards. He also sings, writes and does graphic design. Tiana sings and is learning the piano. This collective passion for music was passed down to the siblings’ by mom, Teresa, who sings and plays guitar and by Jonathan, who sat in with his sons on keyboard when they competed in Langley Has Talent. Although they are all accom-

plished musicians in their own right, it is probably Levi who has left both his older brothers most in awe of his innate musical ability. Several years ago, Gabe and Josh were jamming with a friend. Gabe was on lead guitar, Josh on bass. They were playing a Ramones song, recalled Gabe, but their friend, who was on drums, couldn’t quite get what the brothers were looking for. When the drummer got up to take a break, Levi who had been sitting and listening, decided to have a go. He sat down at the kit and nailed it in one take. He was six. Another day, Gabe wandered downstairs to find his youngest brother playing All By Myself on the piano. “I said, ‘Where did you hear that?’” Levi shrugged and replied that he had no idea. The teenager counts his parents as his greatest musical influence — in large part because they’ve always asked him to examine his choices. “Whenever I create something (their question is) what’s the purpose?” said Levi. “They’re always pushing me forward — it’s always ‘why,’ not ‘what.’” “Not pushing, like one of the Honey Boo Boo parents,” Tiana interjects. “But encouraging,” she adds, once the laughter has died down. “When I’m listening to a song, dad asks, ‘What is the meaning of that? Why are you listening to it?” And why enter Langley Has Talent? Although Her Brothers entered LHT to compete, the event also presented an opportunity for the band to meet other artists and potentially arrange collaborations. The band was looking into the possibility of welcoming another Langley Has Talent act to the stage at Chief Sepass on June 12. Details were still being worked out at The Times press deadline.

OperaTion Youth debuts June 5 at LCMS

OPERAS WERE CREATED OVER TWO YEARS BY YOUNG WRITERS, COMPOSERS AND MUSICIANS It’s an ambitious and audacious operatic production, the likes of which Langley has not seen. Written, composed and performed entirely by children aged 12 to 19 years old, OperaTion Youth is an initiative by the Langley Community Music School, which sought talented young people from the community at large and provided professional mentorship in all aspects of an operatic stage production. Participants received instruction in every aspect of the process, from story writing and music composition to set design, stage management, and orchestral and vocal performances. After nearly two years, and hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of development, mentorship, interdisciplinary outreach, collaboration, and practice, two original one-act operas, entitled Two Cities and Seconds, Years, Forever, are ready to take the stage, in three performances, June 5 and 6, in LCMS’ Rose Gellert Hall. “This OperaTion Youth project has been an exceedingly valuable and precious experience for these young participants,” said LCMS principal Susan Magnusson. “Rarely do young people of this age group get to be involved in this degree of complexity and engagement in a theatrical work, from initial story creation stage and music composition all the way to the performance. “I hope that the public will come to the performances to encourage our young artists.” The two operas are written, composed and performed entirely by local youth, some from the community at large and

some current or former LCMS students. Two Cities is a “Once-Upon-a-Time” tale about a lonely giant, an endless ocean, a statue that grows people, and the bickering citizens of Elegance and Poverty who decide that only war can settle their differences. The story was written by 12-year-old librettist Jasmin Jeong, and set to music by sisters Samantha Lee (age 15) and Jasmine Lee (age 13), and features lead vocal roles sung by Stephen Duncan, Samantha Lee, Jasmine Lee, Emmalene Van Meel, and Stephen Loney. The second opera will be Seconds, Years, Forever. It explores friendship and asks the question, can there be an equal amount of love among three people? In this moving story of trust, betrayal and reconciliation, three lives are changed forever when long-kept secrets are finally revealed. This original work was written by librettist Lauren Trotzuk (age 19), with the musical score by young composers Howard Chen (age 14) and Nathan Zemp (age 15). Vocalists Daniel Loney, Gillian Hagberg, and Sofija Ivanovic will perform the work. These young people were selected through a competitive process, which was open to all youth in the community. The stories were required to be developed on a socially relevant theme suitable for a family audience. The writers were mentored by professional playwright/librettist/director Kico Gonzales-Risso. The composers were mentored by professional composer/pianist Marcel Bergmann, and the vocalists and the LCMS Orchestra were mentored under the direc-

this unique project has been a very stimulating and interesting experience,” said Bergmann, OperaTion Youth’s musical and artistic director. “Although they had to face many challenges as they ventured into some new musical terrain — such as writing for singers and scoring for a chamber size orchestra — the final results have exceeded everybody’s expectations. I am sure that this invaluable and enriching creative endeavour will have a lasting musical impact on all of them.” “Doing OperaTion Youth and watching our operas grow and come to fruition has really been an amazing experience for me, especially with the outstanding co-operation of our team,” said Jasmine Lee. “OperaTion Youth helped me explore the extent of my skills in composition and performance,” added her sister, Samantha. “I worked with a wonderful team, and together we learned many things and had a great time.” ••• Performances are Friday June 5 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, June 6, at both 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for LCMS students. This project has been supported in Su bmitte d image part with funding through the BC Arts OperaTion Youth, featuring two original operatic Council and Metro Vancouver’s Culturworks, will be performed during three shows at al Grants, and is sponsored by Tom Lee Rose Gellert Hall on June 5 and 6.

Violinist Dan Huget will be the guest artist at the Fort Gallery’s First Thursday event on June 4.

Get Drawn In at Fort Gallery The Fort Gallery’s next show, Drawn In, will run June 3 to 21. ‘Drawn In’ is a group exhibit by members of the Fort Gallery Artist Collective showing diverse ways of using line drawing to push the limits of their individual practices. Drawing is a technical underpinning for many artists’ work. Drawings can be direct and visceral or quietly meditative, from opera to lullaby. They can represent the beginning of a process or be the work itself. The opening reception for this show will be June

4, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., in conjunction with the June ‘First Thursday’ free community arts event. On the first Thursday of each month the Fort Gallery hosts visual artists, writers and poets, and musicians from the local community who share their gifts and creations. On June 4, they welcome local electric violinist Dan Huget. Gallery hours are Wednesday to Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. The Fort Gallery is located at 9048 Glover Rd. Call 604-888-7411. Find them online at www. fortgallery.ca; on Twitter @ FortGallery and on Facebook.

Authors Mark Forsythe and Greg Dickson have won first prize in the British Columbia Historical Federation’s Historical Writing Awards for their collaborative book, From the West Coast to the Western Front: British Columbians and the Great War. Both men received the B.C. Lieutenant-Governor’s Medal for Historical Writing at an awards ceremony in Quesnel on May 23, as well as a $2,500 prize. From the West Coast to the Western Front was published to mark the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War. In this compelling book, Forsythe, a Fort Langley resident and the former host of CBC Radio’s mid-day show BC Almanac, teamed up with Dickson to compile stories, artifacts and photos sent in by BC Almanac listeners from across the province. The result is a sweeping portrayal of that crucial chapter of B.C. history that reveals much about the spirit and resilience of a people who survived one of history’s greatest disasters to build the province we have today. Robert Budd took home the second prize (worth $1,500) for his book, Echoes of British Columbia: Voices From the Frontier. Both books were released by Harbour Publishing and are available for purchase on their website at harbourpublishing.com.

Travel Benefits For Seniors

Some ways to secure deals on travel and other services. • Read the fine print. Understand the details of senior discounts and compare them to other promotions offered to anyone, regardless of age. You may be able to get a better deal or combine offers if you’re not locked into a senior plan. Also, check the dates when deals are valid to ensure you can travel when you want to. • Always carry proof of age. You do not want to miss out on a discount. Though being mistaken as younger could be a boost to your ego, it will not benefit your bottom line. • Explore airline perks. Men and women 55 and older may be eligible for “golden-agers” discounts at major airlines. You may need to speak with an airline representative to secure the discount. Seniors also can request special services, such as baggage assistance, priority seating and a ride to the gate, at the airport. • Try negotiating with vendors. Local hotels or businesses may prove more flexible than national chains. It never hurts to ask for a senior discount. • Embrace flexibility in scheduling. Travel during off-peak times when crowds will be small and rates may be lower.

Lightning’s Colyn aims to strike again GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts

Four years ago, running was a secondary sport, a way to stay in shape for Nick Colyn. Back then, soccer was the focus and Colyn was a defender playing for Abbotsford Magnuson Ford in the B.C. High Performance League, the highest level of youth soccer in the province. Colyn — then a Grade 8 student at Langley Christian — ran cross-country and it was at a Langley district race where he caught the eye of Dave Hetherington, a teacher/coach at D.W. Poppy, as well as a long-time coach with the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club. “I just saw an excellent athlete,” explained Hetherington. “And a desire to win, there is no doubt about that.” Hetherington saw the potential in Colyn as a middle distance runner and convinced the teenager to come out and give the track club a try. So Colyn joined the Mustangs in his Grade 9 year and never looked back, eventually quitting soccer to focus on his track pursuits. “I knew that I liked distance running,” he said. “And within one year of doing track, we just went with the flow and I made the B.C. team and I just took it from there.” And it has proved to be a wise decision. Colyn has put together an impressive resume in his short time in the sport. Last year, he was named the B.C. youth male athlete of the year after winning gold in both the 3000m and 2000m steeplechase events at the B.C. club championships. He also won silver at the Canadian Legion youth track and field championships in the 2000m steeplechase, to go along with the bronze he won at the same event in 2013. And Colyn, now a Grade 12 student at Langley Christian, enters this week’s B.C. high school track and field championships as the defending provincial champion in the senior boys 2000m steeplechase event. The championships begin tomorrow (Thursday) and run through Saturday at McLeod Athletic Park. The steeplechase is one of three events Colyn is running in this week as he is also entered in the senior boys 1500m and 3000m races. He warmed up for provincials by capturing medals in two of the three events last month at the Fraser Valley championships, winning gold in the steeplechase with a time of 6:02.59 and bronze in the 1500m (4:05.24). Going in as the defending champion is a role Colyn relishes. “I look forward to it because there are always new competitors,” he said. “You never know (what the race) will be like.” Hetherington calls Colyn the best athlete he has ever coached and said his pu-

Langley Christian’s Nick Colyn led from start to finish in last year’s senior boys’ steeplechase race at the B.C. provincial high school track and field championships. He is looking to defend his title this week as the championships return to McLeod Athletic Park beginning tomorrow (Thursday) and running through Saturday. The graduating senior is set to run with the Trinity Western Spartans cross-country and track and field teams next year. pil’s times have been getting better as he battles back from an injury. “He puts in 110 per cent, sometimes I have to pull him back,” the coach said.

Senior Blaze hit field

Are Proud To Present

Rivermen Hockey Academy Volunteer ollunteer ttoday! oday!

tournament organizers had only raised half of the $100,000 in sponsorship money they were looking to raise by the end of the month. The event has been rescheduled for 2016. Petersen said the Blaze were selected to represent Canada. In past years, the Canadian team has consisted of an all-star line-up. They would have faced teams from Cuba, the Bahamas, Japan, Chinese-Taipei and a U.S. squad made up of all-stars from Washington state and Oregon.

So much more than a homeless shelter

With no national championships to prepare for this summer, the Langley Senior Blaze are intent on making sure they qualify for the 2016 tournament. The Blaze had attended the past three national championships — including winning the title last summer — but failed to qualify for this year’s event after losing to Kamloops in the 2014 provincial finals. “That left a sour taste in our mouths,” said Steve Petersen, the team’s assistant coach. “The biggest challenge to winning the provincial championship will be to stay level-headed and to make sure we get through the Lower Mainland (Pacific Metro Baseball League) league and qualify again. “That being said, both (head coach) Dave Diachuk and myself believe we are a stronger, younger, more fit and deeper team than we were a year ago. “We ran out of gas playing four games in one day at provincials last year and this team is now built to play those games if that scenario was to ever happen again.” Petersen did add that having to play four games in one day — usually because of tiebreaker scenarios — is an extremely rare case. “But we are built for it just in case,” he said. The Blaze are made up of primarily Low-

er Mainland college and university players home for the summer. Another change for this season is that instead of playing in two leagues, the Blaze have taken a hiatus from the Pacific International League. While they may return to the PIL in the future — the league has teams from both B.C. and Washington state — the Blaze chose not to for 2015 in order to play more exhibition games against teams they otherwise would not have been able to fit into the schedule. This includes a twogame series this week against the San Francisco Seals — last night at Abbotsford’s Delair Park and tonight (Wednesday) at McLeod Park — as well as three games for the Victoria Harbourcats and a doubleheader against Kamloops. The Blaze return a dozen players — including ace pitcher Shane Kraemer — and have 19 new faces. Included on the team are a handful of Langley players — Bob Foerster, Ryan Eiswerth, Keenan Takatch and Michael Dagg — as well as several others who played in the PBL with the Langley Blaze. The senior Blaze were supposed to represent Canada at the World Baseball Challenge this August in Prince George, but organizers had to cancel the event earlier this week. According to the Prince George Citizen,

It was an all-Langley battle for ninth place at the B.C. senior boys 2A provincial rugby championships. The Poppy Redhawks and the Mountain Eagles squared off on Saturday at Abbotsford’s Exhibition Park on the final day of the provincial championships with the Redhawks prevailing 13-10. The Redhawks entered the 16-team tournament seeded ninth and the team won their final three games after an opening round loss to No. 8 Brentwood College. Poppy rebounded from that defeat to win a trio of narrow games, 17-15 over Smithers, 13-7 over LV Rogers and then the win over Mountain. And while the Redhawks maintained their pre-tournament ranking, the Eagles went up a handful of spots, starting 14th but finishing 10th. After losing 51-3 to No. 3 Collingwood, Mountain responded with a 25-14 win over Frances Kelsey and a 17-10 victory over G.W. Graham. Both were higher seeds. Poppy’s Logan Belansky and Mountain’s Brian Trieu were named to the Commissioners XV.

He worked for BC Tel/Telus for 34 years, he loved his job and co-workers and would say so often.

He would also play for the Fraser Valley reps in his prime and was a coach and mentor to many players that followed him. His loud voice was a well known staple on the Langley sidelines and will be missed by all.
