Cougar sighted in Otter Co-op area

Reaching New Heights

MONIQUE TAMMING A Tim es Reporter

The Otter Co-op on 248 Street and Fraser Highway was urging caution this weekend after a cougar was sighted Thursday and Friday night. “We urge all our customers and friends to stay cautious while in the Langley/Aldergrove area” says an online warning posted Saturday. The notice said the big cat was seen near the store the “past couple nights” and advised that “ ... if you are in the area and if you spot it, pick children off the ground and calmly back away. When you are a safe distance, report the sighting to the Ministry of Environment at 1-877-952-7277.” The cougar is confirmed to have killed a young cow on May 31 on a dairy farm on 18 Avenue and 216 Street. A conservation officer came out to confirm that the kill was from a cougar by the nature of the attack

to the neck. But Conservation Officer Sgt. Steve Jacobi said the heifer is the only confirmed cougar kill thus far. While it was believed the cougar killed a llama and a sheep last week, Jacobi said coyotes were actually to blame. Live traps are still in place but there has been no action there, said Jacobi. Jacobi said a cougar hasn’t been in this area of Langley in a long time, so it is prime feeding grounds. The cougar may stick around because of the amount of food sources available. “If we get a good sighting we may have to bring in blood hounds to track this cougar down,” said Jacobi. This heat wave makes the cougar’s scent disappear faster, making it harder to track. Conservation is asking that people report to them if any animals have been killed.

Metro cities target illegal fill dumping on farmland DUMPING OFTEN DONE UNDER COVER OF DARKNESS OR ON WEEKENDS JEFF NAGEL Black Press

DAN FER GUSON L an gley Tim es

It took three attempts, but a determined Kyle Kopic, 10, managed to conquer the climbing wall at Family Fun Day at the Willowbrook Shopping Centre. The wall was operated by The Edge climbing centre of North Vancouver.

Metro Vancouver cities are vowing to take co-ordinated action to stop the dumping of illegal fill on farmland, which degrades it and may contaminate it with demolition debris or invasive species like fire ants. Some cities in the region have controls on soil excavated and deposited within their boundaries, but there’s no good system to track movements of fill which cross civic boundaries. Compacted soil excavated from urban construction sites gets trucked — sometimes surreptitiously — out to agricultural areas where farmland owners are paid handsomely to accept fill loads. Politicians fear that, if left un-

checked, the practice will render vast swaths of farmland unproductive because of the temptation of short-term gain. Degraded farmland may become truck parking lots and poor soil can ultimately be an argument to allow development. “We need a unified stand,” Richmond Councillor Harold Steves told the Metro Vancouver board May 15. “Lots of land owners are quite happy to take [money] from truckers who want to get rid of the soil and do it in the dark of night or weekends.” Land owners get paid $100 to $200 per truckload, which can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars — much more than the maximum fines if caught, according to a Metro report.

Luxury condo development approved B REN D A AN D E R SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Plans for a new luxury condominium project next to Douglas Park received nearly unanimous praise from Langley City council on May 25, with only one member finding herself unable to support the project. Councillor Val van den Broek cast the lone dissenting vote as council issued a development permit for a five-storey condominium complex at 20458 Park Ave., on the western edge of Douglas Park, to JMC Properties, Ltd. Van den Broek’s single objection to the project was the plan to remove existing mature trees from the property and replace them with smaller “street” trees. Other members of council complimented the design, which includes brickwork, stained wood accents, black metal railings and glass-panelled decks, saying the building will change the overall tone of the area and pave the way for more, similarly highend, projects. Before the development permit was issued, the public was given the opportunity to speak about the project and ask ques-

tions of the developer. Once again, parking issues were top of mind for people who live in the area, with residents of James Court asking where workers will park during construction, and whether their complex will lose any of its existing visitor parking to the new building. Of the eight spaces in front of James Court, residents will ultimately lose the four farthest from the building, they heard. However, workers will not park in James Court during construction — a rule which will be “strictly adhered to,” they were assured. Bryce Jeffery, whose grandfather purchased the land after the Second World War and passed it down to his son, John, said the development is very much in keeping with the vision the men had for the land. “I see myself as the trustee of a dream,” he told council, following the presentation by Wes Friesen of Points West Architecture. When it formed in the late 1940s, he said, the dream was to see single family homes constructed on the eight-acre property.

After his grandfather’s death in 1977, the dream changed to incorporate the City’s vision for multi-family development, said Jeffery. The Langley Township resident said his father’s vision was so spectacular as to be almost self-defeating. For a long time, he admitted, it didn’t look very promising, with developer after developer, coming forth with designs that fell short of what Jeffery hoped for. There seemed to be a feeling among developers, he said, that high-end developments don’t fit within Langley. This project proves that idea to be false, he said. “I am satisfied as trustee, that we are producing the best building we can produce,” said Jeffery. “This project represents every bit of the blood of the best we could get out of the property. “Thank you for considering it.” “It’s a gorgeous development,” said Councillor Gayle Martin, adding that it is hard for her to believe that other developers have not seen the potential for upscale projects in the area. “It’s unfortunate all those trees have to

come down, but that’s development,” she said. Councillor Dave Hall asked Friesen whether the City should look at its parking regulations and adjust them so that more visitor parking is required. Friesen replied that, in his experience, the current bylaw is appropriate. Councillor Rudy Storteboom commented that he would not have liked to move ahead without the hearing from the Jeffery family. “I would like to see the name (of the building) reflect that legacy.” Councillor Paul Albrecht called it a great addition to the downtown core, while encouraging the developer to use local goods and services during construction. The building’s 37 units will range in size from 1,000 to 1,600 square feet, with the largest ‘penthouse’ suites located on the fifth floor. The proposed development will contribute nearly $335,000 to the City in development cost charges and another $37,000 in community amenity charges. The developer anticipates the project will be complete in about 18 months.

Langley home raided KEV I N D I AK I W Bl ack Pre s s

Two men have been arrested in an ongoing investigation surrounding escalating violence in Surrey and Delta. On Thursday, more than 50 police from Delta, Surrey and Combined Forces Special Enforcement executed four warrants at homes in Surrey and Langley. Large amounts of drugs and cash were seized. Two men were arrested and drug-related charges will be recommended to Crown counsel. The arrests come as the three law enforcement groups try to suppress drug-related violence playing out on Surrey and Delta streets. There have been more than 30 shootings in Surrey and Delta since March 9. The shootings appear to be related to a turf war between rival groups of low-level drug dealers, police have said.

Times editor is retiring Frank Bucholtz, editor of The Times for the past 17 years, has announced he plans to retire from the newspaper at the end of June. Bucholtz has worked in the community newspaper business for the past 37 years, working with newspapers all over the Lower Mainland. He has been associated with The Times since 1993, when he began doing fill-in and freelance work for the newspaper. He plans to spend more time with his family, and remain involved in the Langley community. “Langley is a wonderful community and I am privileged to have worked here, and to have met so many great people,” he said.

Weather opens window of opportunity for criminals

POLICE ADVISE KEEPING WINDOWS CLOSED OR ‘PINNED’ WHILE SLEEPING OR AWAY FROM HOME Langley RCMP are asking people to close the window of opportunity during this heat wave. Recent hot weather has many people opening their windows to try and cool down. But police warn that thieves are waiting for this opportunity. Unfortunately, an open window can be an invitation for intruders, said Langley RCMP. If you plan to leave an accessible window open overnight or when you’re not at home, po-

lice ask that you consider pinning your window for security. One option is to drill a hole through both frames and insert a double-headed nail. Drilling a series of holes allows the window to be fixed in a number of open positions. It is important not to make the opening so large that a criminal could squeeze through or reach in and remove the nail. Another concern is the safety of young children. Each year, the public hears

stories of toddlers falling out of a second or third storey windows to the ground below. These falls can have devastating consequences. Police remind people not to trust that the screen will act as a safety gate when young children have access to low window ledges in a home. If a window is pinned so it will only open wide enough for air flow, then it will not be wide enough for a child to climb through.

For truckers, $200 a load is a lot cheaper than $3,240 in tipping fees at the Vancouver Landfill for a 30-tonne truck. And the report says there are no measures in place to control the quality of fill being dumped. The six Metro cities with 95 per cent of the region’s farmland —Langley Township, Delta, Surrey, Richmond, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge — require soil deposition permits for placing fill on farmland and have stepped up enforcement, but it’s difficult for them to police against excessive dumping or undeclared loads coming from elsewhere in the region. Meanwhile, most other municipalities either have no regulations on what developers can do with soil from demolition or excavation sites, or else only regulate fill dumped locally. They’re expected to add new provisions forcing developers to declare where soil is coming from and where it’s going as part of construction and demolition permitting. Metro Vancouver is to launch a web-based registry as a two-year trial to pull together the information across civic boundaries and help track where the fill goes from specified construction sites. Metro expects the problem of illegal fill dumping to worsen as the region’s population grows and more older homes are demolished to make way for new developments. The estimated cost of the Metro pilot project is $80,000. Some mayors, including Burnaby’s Derek Corrigan and North Vancouver City’s Darrell Mussatto, say the province should address the problem because it has underfunded the Agricultural Land Commission.

The agency theoretically charged with preventing illegal dumping on ALR farmland has just three enforcement officers for the entire province. Mussatto and Corrigan say it amounts to cost downloading if cities or the region shoulder more costs of farmland protection. “I don’t think we should kid ourselves in thinking the province is going to step in and do the job for us,” Steves responded. Langley Township Councillor Charlie Fox said municipalities need to avoid downloading, but agreed the ALC is incapable of policing the problem. “I live right in the middle of fill central down in south Langley,” Fox said. “On weekends and late at night the dump trucks run through 16th Avenue 24 hours a day.” Fox said Metro should invite the Fraser Valley Regional District and member cities such as Abbotsford and Chilliwack to participate in any new regulatory system that takes shape. “This is a huge issue that actually goes right through and permeates the whole south and north of the Fraser Valley in that direction.” Other ideas suggested at Metro to fight illegal fill dumping include providing affordable fill dumping sites, spot checking trucks, aerial surveys and whistleblowing by residents through Soil Watch surveillance programs. Not all soil being trucked away is necessarily being dumped on land. Corrigan said his city investigated a massive soil excavation at a Brentwood Town Centre and discovered most of the soil was being barged out and dumped in the ocean off Point Grey. “It seem to me counterintuitive that that’s good for the environment to dump all that dirt off west Point Grey but apparently the Ministry of Environment says it is.”

Doug Penner and his dad Cam prepare for the ninth annual ride in his name through Langley to raise money for research into Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Annual ride for Doug raises more than $37K FUNDRAISER FOR LANGLEY BOY WITH DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Every year, about this time, Doug Penner starts getting ready for the annual motorcycle ride and barbecue to raise money for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, the progressive condition the Langley boy was diagnosed with at the age of three. “It’s time to eat meat and pose for pictures,” he will tell his dad, Cam Penner. On Sunday, as he and his dad prepared to depart on the ninth annual “Ride for Doug,” he was a good sport about the countless cameras and cell phones recording him walking next to rows of bikes waiting in the parking lot of the South Langley Church at 20098 22nd Ave. In all, 77 motorcyclists took part in the ride through the Fraser Valley, raising more than $37,000 for Muscular Dystrophy Canada. That would bring the total amount raised since the ride started to nearly $170,000. A delighted Cam Penner posted an enthusiastic thanks on Facebook “to everyone who came out and rode with us, kept us hydrated, fed us, cheered us on, or did any of the other million things it takes to hold a ride.” Muscular Dystrophy (MD) is a genetic disorder that causes muscles in the body to gradually decline and weaken. Over time, people with MD may lose the ability to walk, speak and ultimately breathe.

Doug suits up for the annual ride in his name. “It’s time to eat meat and pose for pictures,” Doug says. There is presently no known cure. In an interview with The Times before the ride, Cam said his son, a Grade 7 Langley Christian student, is doing well and ‘enjoying life.’ “He is getting weaker, but he is still walking, able to go up and down stairs, and ride with me on my motorcycle,” Penner said. “He is in the transition years

of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. These are the years where most of his peers are using wheelchairs.” Muscular Dystrophy Canada uses some of the money raised to provide support and equipment assistance to families living with MD. Other funds are used for research. — with files from Monique Tamminga

Vancouver pushes for higher tax on luxury home sales JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson wants the province to add another step to the Property Transfer Tax to hit luxury homes harder when they change hands. That request and other potential proposals to discourage home-flipping and absentee ownership are contained in a May 22 letter to Premier Christy Clark released recently. The Property Transfer Tax now charges one per cent on the first $200,000 in property value when a home sells and two per cent after that. It currently adds up to $19,000 on the sale of a $1-million house, and generates more than $900 million a year for the provincial government, flowing into general revenue. Robertson wants a higher transfer tax “on the most expensive properties” — he didn’t specify how much higher or at what threshold it should kick in — with the proceeds of the high-end increment instead

earmarked for affordable housing investment. He said housing should not be treated “solely as an investment commodity” for the world’s wealthiest citizens, who park their money in Vancouver houses and may leave them empty. He said rapidly rising prices “are creating despair” among middle-income people with good jobs who struggle to find quality rentals and “who are not even within shouting distance of being able to buy.” Besides Property Transfer Tax reform, Robertson proposes undefined tax measures to discourage quick resales by flippers to reduce speculation. He also proposes the province give cities the power to “track property ownership and ensure timely occupancy of vacant units.” “These measures would help moderate the excesses of the Vancouver housing market, without unfairly punishing those who have built up home equity through hard work and

personal savings,” Robertson said. He said the policies would slow surging prices that threaten Vancouver’s ability to keep and attract “the best and brightest” and would “send a signal that our housing is for living in, not for investor speculation.” Finance Minister Mike de Jong has pledged to study options to address home affordability but with care to avoid reducing the equity existing residents have in their homes. Clark as recently as February was talking about eventually phasing out the Property Transfer Tax, not increasing it. Realtor associations have previously urged the province to lift the two per cent PTT threshold to $525,000 so homes worth less than that are charged only one per cent. The Property Transfer Tax has been unchanged since it was first introduced as a wealth tax 29 years ago, and many more transactions have become subject to the two per cent increment as prices rose.

SLOWING FOREIGN BUYING WOULD DEAL ECONOMIC BLOW: PROVINCE JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Premier Christy Clark has issued a warning that demands for new taxes to rein in rising real estate prices could have serious undesired effects and are largely rooted in mistaken perceptions. She was responding to a call from Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson for the province to charge a higher Property Transfer Tax on the most expensive properties, among other initiatives. “It’s important that we consider any actions carefully to make sure we are helping first-time homebuyers get into the market while protecting the equity of existing homeowners — not just simply raising more taxes for government,” Clark said in a letter to Robertson. Driving down home prices 10 per cent would mean an $800,000 home losing $80,000 in equity and Clark said that could put some residents with large mortgages underwater. Clark noted local buyers, not foreigners, are responsible for most real estate activity in the region. “For many individuals and small businesses, this is a source of investment income.” The premier said the province is actively looking at what it can do. But she suggested the City of Vancouver can do more itself to address affordability by reducing civic fees and levies that add up to more than $76,000 of the price of a new $450,000 condo. “Beyond any new taxes to curb demand, there is also the option of increasing supply through better landuse planning,” Clark added. The B.C. Real Estate Association estimates foreigners account for no more than five per cent of home ownership and real estate activity in the region. A finance ministry analysis of the issue said Metro Vancouver detached house prices are being driven up largely because of rising demand and shrinking supply, as older houses are knocked down to build townhouses or condos, which have seen much slower appreciation. B.C. could follow other jurisdictions like Singapore, London and Australia that charge foreigners stiffer property transfer taxes or other taxes. Foreigners also need approval to buy houses in Australia and Singapore, where prices have

stabilized but still aren’t considered affordable. If foreign home buying was sharply pared from the estimated five per cent of Metro home sales now to one per cent, it said, the improvement in first-time buyer affordability would not be significant because of the concentration of offshore buying in high-end homes. But it estimates such policies would wipe out $1 billion a year in residential real estate sales, causing a 1,400-unit plunge in home building and the loss of 3,800 jobs in the construction and real estate sectors. “Roughly $350 million in nominal GDP would be lost. This translates into about 0.2 per cent of B.C.’s economy.” In addition to more densification, the finance ministry said the federal government could do more to discourage property speculators by taxing their profits as income instead of capital gains in some cases, ensuring capital gains are correctly reported and that flipped investment homes aren’t falsely claimed as primary residences. The real estate association recommended against any curb on foreign investment in housing but suggested government monitor it by requiring a residency declaration on land transfer forms. B.C. doesn’t track foreign ownership and critics say a lack of data hinders debate on reform. Jorda Maisey, president of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, said raising the PTT to punish Vancouver speculators could have severe unintended impacts on residents further afield, such as Fraser Valley farmers and other owners of larger acreages counting on tapping their property’s value to fund retirement. “Our farmers are already having problems with the cost of farming and this could penalize them further,” Maisey said. “Our concern is just bringing in another tax isn’t going to solve the problem [of speculators.] These people will just look at it as another cost of doing business.” She said Vancouver-area property pressures don’t exist to nearly the same degree in the Fraser Valley. In the Fraser Valley, the benchmark house prices were up 6.5 per cent from a year ago to $603,100. Apartments there were actually down 2.8 per cent from May 2014 to $192,500 last month.

The road to healing for First Nations people all across Canada got underway some time ago, although there have been many bumps along the way. One of the most important acts, which was entirely symbolic but nonetheless critical, was the public apology by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2008. This was issued to all the survivors of the residential school system, and it served to set into motion the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Over a six-year period, the commission has gathered plenty of evidence to show that, beyond a doubt, this painful part of Canada’s past has affected present-day relationships between aboriginal people and other Canadians. The residential school legacy has also deeply affected aboriginal communities and families. The commission’s report made a host of recommendations. As mentioned in the guest editorial below, these need to be taken seriously and a plan looking at implementation needs to be drawn up. However, it is important to point out that leaving action on these recommendations to various levels of governments — particularly the federal government — would likely lead to more problems. The feds have responsibility for aboriginal relations but have handled the file poorly, throughout Canada’s entire existence. Governments have some very bad habits. One is to make solutions so complex, and involve so many layers of bureaucracy, that concrete action leading to genuine change is difficult. Often, it is impossible. By contrast, First Nations across B.C. and in many other parts of Canada have taken important steps in recent years which will lead to real and meaningful change. They have done so by getting actively involved in the economy, education and other important areas. While it required court action to make provinces and Ottawa see the necessity of this, it is happening in many areas of the country. Here in Langley, the Kwantlen First Nation has set up a successful business corporation which is creating jobs, leading to economic activity, emphasizing sustainability and, most importantly, leading to a new sense of purpose. Similar things are happening in many other First Nations. Young, energetic leaders are taking action on many fronts to improve the lives of their people.

Question

of the week

Are public safety and wildlife authorities taking sufficient action to deal with the cougar prowling South Langley?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Let the healing begin they

The long and emotionally painful process of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission has finally concluded and some harsh truths have come out of the report. They are nothing that hasn’t already been said before, but seeing it all in one place has, we hope, had an impact. We must never forget this part of our country’s past — indeed, we agree future generations should learn about the cultural genocide that occurred so close to home, just as they learn of the Holocaust that happened half a world away. Now it is time to move on in a nurturing, empowering manner. It is time to move forward from these residential school horror stories to live new stories of healing and progress. We must honour those who we have lost through the process, celebrate those who have survived and ensure this never happens again. We hope our country may draw strength from the Truth and Reconciliation process itself; that our aboriginal neighbours may find healing in the telling of their oral history, however painful it was; and that they may find strength in the acknowledgement that what happened was wrong. The commission has made 94 recommendations that officials feel will go a long way toward healing our country. Tseshaht First Nation Chief Councillor Hugh Braker said the recommendations “are measured, wide ranging, constructive and, ultimately, aimed at healing and reconciliation. The government should immediately put in place a plan to implement the recommendations.” We agree. Canada’s leaders and citizens must take these recommendations seriously, and most importantly deal with them in a timely manner. Only then can the healing begin. — Alberni Valley News

Tributes to Wells pour in Editor: Dear Wells, I’m so, so sorry. We let you down big time. You didn’t deserve what happened to you — no one does. I knew you as “Trenchcoat Man” and even though our paths crossed many times, I never took the time to get to know you or to see if I could help you. I will regret this for the rest of my life. You always seemed so quiet, sad and “far away.” You kept to yourself. You never antagonized anyone or sought trouble. You were humble and unassuming; you were an absolute fixture in our community. My heart breaks for you and for your family. I hope for two things: that you are happy, warm, comfortable and at peace now, and that all of us will pay way more attention to people like you who need our help and compassion. I promise I will never forget you Wells. You’ve got my word on that. Rest in peace. MARIE FRASER, LANGLEY

City must act on dispensaries IT’S NOT UP TO CHURCHES AND BUSINESSES Editor: The recent article in The Times (June 5) regarding the number of methadone dispensing pharmacies is a concern — particularly the lack of action by City council. I recognize council has formed a committee and referred a bylaw back to staff, but this could result in many more months of inaction. We are dealing with a legalized narcotic, the use of which is to aid addicted individuals to rebuild their lives. But it is a narcotic and where there is supply, there will be demand, so it is not likely any of these pharmacies will close due to attrition. A tour of the downtown area shows that businesses are moving out. Why is this? And why is the City not doing more to encourage and support local business?

Envision moved due to a problem with homeless individuals setting up in the area. The City asked Envision to clean up, and also asked St. Joseph’s Church to do so. This is not a business problem or a church problem — it is a City problem and the City needs to take leadership and proactive action. Our downtown core is sadly reminiscent of Whalley in previous years. I suggest council and staff review City of Surrey By-law 15039, which regulates the dispensing of methadone. It may not be a cure, but at least it would be a start. Council needs to take a more assertive role in protecting the City. And it needs to do so quickly. KORY SWAELE, LANGLEY

Help from unseen stranger appreciated Editor: On Saturday, May 30, I was on my balcony at my Langley City home. It is located within a townhouse development. I fell while on my deck and I could not get up. I had fallen in such a position that no one could see me. This took place early in the evening. I called out for help, and my call was responded to by someone who was below the deck, which is on an upper floor. This person could not see me, but assured me that he or she would call the authorities. Before I knew it, Langley RCMP were on the scene, fol-

lowed shortly by an ambulance. I was taken to Langley Memorial Hospital, and later released. While I am very stiff and sore, there were no serious injuries, for which I am very grateful. I want to thank the person who called 911 on my behalf. It was truly a wonderful act of kindness. I also want to thank the members of the RCMP and the ambulance crew who responded and took such good care of me. ELAINE STEVENS, LANGLEY

A giant red rhododendron plant, one of two planted over 70 years ago by Frank Jackson, was recently dug up for replanting from the Whitelaw property on 77A Avenue in Willoughby. The property is being developed and Jackson’s descendants wanted to preserve the landmark bush.

History is retained LANDMARK PLANTS DUG UP Editor: The beautiful red rhododendrons on 77A Avenue have been saved . The plants have stood tall for 70 years in the Whitelaw family. They were planted by my grandfather, Frank Jackson, 70 years ago. With the surrounding old English rock work, they have been saved and will bloom for many more years. People will be able to see and enjoy it. Great-grandson Court Whitelaw of Tall Timbers Tree Service loaded everything very carefully with care. The plant will be going to a holding yard in Delta while a new location is sought. Court did a great job saving the plants. BRENT WHITELAW, LANGLEY

speaking at a Township event to mark the wrap-up of a five-year program that saw the Township assist the Vietnamese city in developing an economic development strategy. It was part of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) “Municipal Partners for Economic Development Program” that paired Canadian communities with those in developing countries. Ha Tinh is the capital city of one of Vietnam’s poorest provinces, a community of 91,000 people located in the northern part of central Vietnam, about 340 kilometres south of Hanoi. MacKinnon said the Canadian and Vietnamese cities were very similar in size and composition. Representatives from FCM presented Langley Township and Chilliwack with plaques recognizing their participation in the program last Wednesday. Chilliwack partnered with a Cambodian city, helping it develop a tourism website among other things.

He trained under a sports medicine doctor who ran the 400m hurdles in the 1988 Olympics and owned three running stores. The love of sports puts him in good stead for understanding the specific needs of the “uber-athlete”. One of his current patients is benefitting from a conservative treatment of an Achilles condition. He’s an avid CrossFit athlete in his late ‘40s. He has expressed his appreciation that the doctor understands athletes and the importance of restoring function without restricting activity as much as possible. Dr. Stanford, and his receptionist Carol welcome everyone to their new practice, open for two months now. You can book an appointment without a doctor’s referral, and in most cases, meet the doctor within a day or two.

GENERAL MANAGER’S MESSAGE

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE We are well into the 93rd year of Otter Co-op existence and it is looking like another great year. Sales are up, the weather has been good and our team is set to enjoy another record year. Thanks to all our members who made last year our ﬁfth record year in a row. Without the support of our members and the hard work of our staff this would not be possible. I would like to thank all those members and guests who attended the recent Annual General Meeting of the Co-op. Hopefully it was informative and enjoyable for all. As usual we would like to have a much larger attendance at the AGM but those that attend do participate and their presence is appreciated. This year we had two of our Board members re-elected for a further three years. Susan Dodd and Larry Jantzen and a new face on the Board, Brian Thomasson, were elected to a three year term. We also had ﬁve other excellent candidates that were running for spots on the Board. Thank you to all the candidates for offering their service. A special thanks to Frank Hauzer who has served six years on the Otter Board and previously had served eight years on the Board of the Pitt Meadows Co-op, before the amalgamation with Otter. He has made many contributions and will be missed on the Board. Again this year Otter Co-op awarded ten scholarships to deserving recipients. Eight went to this year’s grade twelve graduates and two were for mature applications. This is just one of many great community services that are made possible by your continued and increased support of our many divisions. This past year Otter Co-op contributed over $145,000 to community groups. We can all be proud to belong to, and support, an organization that takes its responsibility to its community that seriously.

Third Annual Country Car Show at Otter Co-op This year’s car show was a one day event (Sunday, April 26) and was a huge success. The Central Fraser Valley Chapter V.C.C.C. who sponsors the show was extremely pleased with well over 200 entries. We hope to see everyone again in 2016!

FAREWELL TO BARB, EVELYNE & DONNA!

H.R. Manager Barb Ruscheinski leaves us to start a new adventure on her Fifteenth Anniversary at Otter Co-op. The Staff and Management would like to thank Barb for the past ﬁfteen years and wish her all the best as she begins a new chapter in her life. Good Luck Barb!

1st Annual Kids’ Club /Mother’s Day Craft Day The kids had a great time making Mom a picture frame while she got to spend some time shopping. We took the child’s photo, had it developed in the store and then put it in their frame. The kids then decorated a gift bag to put their specially designed photo and frame in to take home to Mom for Mothers’ Day. It was a great day. Like all Kids’ Club Events it was free.

Today is an opportunity to celebrate record breaking sales for our 2014 year end. This is our 5th year in a row of record sales, and I look forward to the continued bright future of our co-operative. I’d like to thank you for your support, commitment and dedication to Otter over the past year. In today’s economic and social turbulence, we remained stable and growing. It is through the co-operation and dedication of our board, employee team, and members that has resulted in another successful year for our organization. Strong community support from our members grew Otter Co-op to record sales of $183,866,549; an increase of 6.9% over the previous year. Bottom line savings ended the year at $5,778,717, with several extraordinary items that account for the negative variance from our previous year. Some of these include increased depreciation expense for the 3 new sites that were opened in 2014, a special payment of $500,000 towards the under-funded Otter Co-op Defined Pension, and the significant losses we experienced at the end of our fiscal year with the rapidly falling petroleum pricing and the margin losses we experienced on fuel we owned throughout that period. From our bottom line of $5.7 million, the board of directors has approved to allocate $4.4 million of the savings back to you, our members. That is the value of our co-operation together, and a major point of differentiation in our business model, returning our profits back to you, our owners. Some division results include our food sales experiencing a 2.6% increase from the previous year. Our pharmacy division experienced an increase in sales of 3.2%. General merchandise, which includes our hardware and family fashions at the Retail Centre, as well as sales of Hardware at our Pitt Meadows location, experienced an increase of 3.4% over the previous year. In feed, we ended the year with record bottom line results, despite our sales in this division decreasing by $1.6 million. Our bulk petroleum sales increased by $1.6 million, and our gas bar division experienced a sales increase of $11.1 million over the previous year, some of which is due to the addition of 3 new locations in mid to late 2014. Our team worked hard to maximize the market opportunities presented. A strong commitment to success and growth is evident from our Board of Directors, as the decisions and direction being planned and executed are not just for today, but to continue to take Otter Co-op well into the future. Some of these decisions include major upgrades at our feed mill here in Aldergrove, as well as a significant upgrade to the retail centre also planned for this year. The marketplace in which we operate continues to change, and our retail needs to continue to adapt and respond accordingly, so we continue to build on our strong past. Otter will continue to move forward to improve our assets, grow sales and services, and return earnings back to the communities in which we live, work and play. We as a team continue to grow our business, and improve our ability to give our members cash and equity, as well as set aside funds for the upgrading, replacement, and future development of Otter Co-op. The membership continues to directly benefit from these results, as we continue to give back a significant portion of our earnings through equity and cash back, as well as through the more than $145,000 we gave in donations to our communities. In order to effectively compete in today’s rapidly changing marketplace, we must continue to plan for the future. Every year the expectations of our membership increases. We need to determine what is essential, affordable, and providing a return to our over 50,000 members, and then set priorities for the prosperity of Otter Co-op. It is about continuing on a track record of fiscal responsibility balanced with sound marketing objectives, to ensure that we have continuous development and growth of our Co-op. We are just into 12 weeks of our 2015 fiscal year here at Otter, and so far results have been fantastic. We are 10.8% ahead of last year sales at this same time, and 5.6% ahead of our budgeted projections. Well done and hats off to our entire team here at the Co-op! It is especially rewarding to know that our loyal team including our board and members, remain the key in making Otter Co-op the growing, diverse, viable business it is today. We cannot do it without all of your dedication and loyalty. I sincerely thank you all for making the past year such a success, and we continue to look forward to the challenges and opportunities that the future holds for Otter Co-op!

‘Sunshine Blooms’ by South Surrey quilter Barb Baker, right, will be among the more than 300 quilts on display during the Fraser Valley Quilters Guild’s biennale show at George Preston Recreation Centre on June 12 and 13. Fellow guild member, Gwen Arnold, left, will also show her work.

Colour, creativity collide at FVQG biennial exhibit QUILTERS GUILD PRESENTS WRAPPED IN COLOUR JUNE 12 AND 13 B REN D A A N D E R SO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

Fraser Valley Quilters are ready to show their true colours. The guild, which has been in existence for 35 years and draws its more than 200 members from communities all across the Lower Mainland, will present Wrapped in Colour, a biennial show of all things related to quilting, on June 12 and 13 at the George Preston Recreation Centre in Langley. More than 300 traditional and modern quilts will be on display during the two-day event. Among them will be work by this year’s featured quilt artists — South Surrey’s Barb Baker and Nancy Chen of North Vancouver. Chen took up sewing in 1968 and joined the FVQG in 1992. With her first meeting, she knew that she’d found “her people.” Being a part of the FVQG has given Chen the opportunity to travel to quilt shows, workshops and retreats, as well as try out new techniques and build a “library” of fabric, books and notions. “But I think my most valuable asset is the friends I have met through quilting,” she said. Baker is no newcomer to the quilting scene, either. She first picked up a needle and thread

in the late 1970s and began teaching herself the finer points of the craft. In 2001, recognizing that her technique would benefit from some expert instruction, she joined the FVQG. Over the years, Baker has discovered that not all aspects of the craft are equally appealing. She loves appliqué, but despises the fussiness of piecing together squares. One of her favourite parts is when the design comes together in her mind — long before needle and thread meet fabric. “What attracts me is not just the colour, it’s the pattern,” said Baker. “The thing I enjoy most is going to the store and picking out fabrics. I can spend hours. To me, that’s the most exciting part.” And, at the other end of the process, she will happily spend hours quilting every stitch by hand, to create a one-of-a-kind finished product. This hand-quilting technique is a large part of what makes Baker’s work stand out, said Gwen Arnold, fellow guild member and publicist for this year’s show. Arnold, a retired home economics teacher, began quilting five or six years ago after she got tired of making clothes. With her background, the sewing part came easy, as did the ability to select colour combinations and

compose eye-pleasing designs. The rest she learned from mentors within the guild. While Baker tends to work in the traditional style, Arnold was quickly drawn to the modern-style of the form, which incorporates plain fabrics and places a greater emphasis on negative space. There will be plenty of examples of both styles at this year’s show. One of the highlights of the exhibit will be the quilting challenge, said Arnold, with about 60 people participating. Weeks ago, each competitor pulled two pieces of fabric from a bag to form their colour scheme. Using a pre-determined traditional block, they then had to be as creative as they were able within those parameters. Members of the public will be asked to vote for their favourite when they are unveiled during Wrapped in Colour. Visitors will also be given ballots to select a single viewers’ choice quilt from the hundreds on display. The showcase will also feature a quilt raffle, merchant mall, tea room and a members’ boutique. There will be $2 grab bags of fabric and patterns available for purchase, along with quilting books and other related items. Continued Page 20

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Fort Langley train station. The public is invited to join in the celebration on Saturday, June 20, beginning at noon, with RazzMaJazz Traditional Jazz Band. Opening remarks and a cake cutting will follow at 1 p.m. on the train station grounds, at the corner of Mavis Avenue and Glover Road. “Bring the family and show them that history does not have to be something you learn in school, but exists in this fun community,” says a release from the Langley Heritage Society, the group hosting the event. The celebration will include a display of railway photos by the Langley Camera Club. The exhibit will be open from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 20 and Sunday June 21. The iconic heritage station was built in 1915 by the Canadian National Railway, two blocks west of its current location. The design was one of the CNR “third class” plans. In 1918 the Canadian Northern Railway became part of Canadian National and the station was expanded. The arrival of the train was not just a daily occurrence, but a lifeline to the town. The building remained open until the 1980s. After it closed, the Langley Heritage Society relocated and restored the station. In 1984, it was declared a heritage site. The beautiful gardens are maintained as a memorial to the station agent and his wife who took loving care of this important piece of Langley history.

Seuss, Singularity on stage at Sepass Stagecoach Theatre and Arts School presents Seuss the Musical and Singularity in two shows on Sunday, June 14. The morning show begins at 10:30 a.m. with a performance of Seuss featuring students aged four to 15. It will be followed by the school’s 14-18-year-old actors in Singularity. In the afternoon, the younger students will return to the stage once more for a second performance of Seuss the Musical. That show begins at 3 p.m. All performances will take place at Chief Sepass Theatre, 9096 Trattle St. Fort Langley. Seating is general admission. Tickets are $10 each, available by calling 778-240-5915

Actors Jimmy Berkenpas and Kirsten Durand try out the magical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang created by drag-race car builder John Tebak for presentation at Theatre in the Country every weekend in June.

Theatre in the Country offers dinner and a magic flying car CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG ON STAGE ALL JUNE It will be magic when a “spectaculous” flying car takes to the stage as Theatre in the Country presents Chitty Chitty Bang Bang every weekend in June. Featuring five actors from Langley — including Maddie and Paul Beckett, Nicole Bencze, Brittany Grant, and Anna Towle — the rollicking musical tells the story of children who fall in love with a junkyard car and beg their father to restore it rather than have it fall into the hands of a selfish villain. Theatre in the Country is believed to be the only ongoing dinner theatre group in the Lower Mainland. It has taken over the former Whonnock ele-

mentary school on 272 Street and 100 Avenue, half way between downtown Mission and downtown Maple Ridge. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was written by spy-novel master Ian Fleming while he was convalescing from a heart attack. A three-book series was published two months after he died, in 1964. In 2002 was adapted for the stage. Shows are on weekends throughout June. Times vary by date. To partake in the roast beef buffet, see a magical show with dozens of live special effects and enjoy live theatre in a country setting, call 604259-9737 or go to theatreinthecountry.com.

Guild supports range of charities From Page 19

Proceeds from the raffle of a queen-sized quilt will be donated to this year’s selected charity, “The Princess Project,” which helps provide stylish graduation dresses, at no cost, to young women who otherwise would not be able to afford one. In addition to their shows, the FVQG has donated around 300 preemie quilts to the special care nursery of the B.C. Children’s and Women’s Health Care Centre in Vancouver. Through their work, they also

support White Rock/South Surrey Hospice and Cops for Cancer. “That’s a very emotional experience,” said Arnold of the police officers who cycle around B.C. and present quilts to sick children. When the hospice asked the guild to provide a shroud quilt, members contributed blocks in shades of blue and mauve, and a dove was incorporated at the centre of the blanket. “They loved it so much, they hung it on the wall and we had to make another one, said Ar-

nold. Fraser Valley Quilters Guild is always looking for new members for both its afternoon and evening groups. “One of the great things about quilting is that you can do it at all ages and stages of life,” said Arnold. Wrapped in Colour takes place on Friday, June 12, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturday, June 13, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. George Preston Recreation Centre is located at 20699 42 Ave. For more information about the guild, visit fvqg.org.

Megan Champoux clears a hurdle during the senior girls 100m hurdles heat on Friday morning at McLeod Park at the B.C. high school track and field championships. Champoux won bronze in the finals later that day and then took gold in the 400m hurdles on Saturday. The Grade 10 student was competing at a higher age level.

Athletes team up for 30 medals

G A RY A HUJ A Times S p or ts

Langley high school athletes combined to win eight gold, 14 silver and eight bronze medals at the B.C. high school track and field championships. The three-day meet ran June 4 to 6 at McLeod Athletic Park. Among Langley schools, Walnut Grove was tops, finishing with three gold and

Competing up an age group was no problem for Megan Champoux. The 15-year-old Grade 10 student could have run at the junior level. But with an eye on qualifying to represent Canada this summer at the World Youth Games in Colombia, Champoux ran at the senior girls level over the weekend at the B.C. high school track and field championships at McLeod Athletic Park. And Champoux did not look out of place, snagging a pair of personal bests en route to a gold and bronze medal in the senior girls 400m hurdles and 100m hurdles races, respectively. “I was running as a senior, so it was a little nerve-wracking,” she admitted. “But really, I was just looking forward to (trying for) personal bests and improving my time in the 400m hurdles going towards worlds. “I was just looking forward to doing my best.” The junior girls division only offers a 300m distance at the hurdles, but Champoux wanted as many opportunities as

seven silver medals. Langley Christian’s Brooke Mussche was one of seven local athletes to win a pair of medals, but was the only one who won gold in both events. “I wanted to win,” she said about her pre-race goals. “And to get personal bests.” Mussche, who also trains with the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club, was tops in the both the Grade 8 girls

she can get to try and improve her time in the 400m hurdles in hopes of qualifying to represent Canada. Champoux, who is cross-enrolled at Langley Fundamental — she spends part of the school year home-schooled — won the 400m hurdle title with a time of 1:00.56, edging Cowichan’s Chicago Bains for the gold medal. This was on Saturday and it was payback for Champoux as the day before, it was Bains winning gold in the 100m hurdles with a time of 14.41. Champoux was third at 15.20. Champoux also placed fifth in the 400m. The pair are friends and Champoux said she knew she was in tough. “I know she is a tough competitor (and) we were close in times,” she said. “It was a tight race, pretty back and forth.” Last year at the junior level, Champoux won bronze in the 300m hurdles. Champoux will look to improve on her 400m hurdle time this weekend as she competes at a meet in Coquitlam with the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club. 800m and 1500m races, winning with times of 2:21.61 and 5:03.57, respectively. Both times were personal bests and her time in the 800m also set a new Grade 8 girls provincial record. Mussche said she was told after she crossed the finish line that she had set a new provincial record. “I had no idea,” she said. Continued Page 24

GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

Fully healthy after a broken ankle hampered him last season, Alex Savage showed just what he is capable of. The 17-year-old Grade 11 student at Walnut Grove captured the senior boys long jump title on Saturday at McLeod Park at the B.C. high school track and field championships. Savage won the gold medal with a jump of 6.54m. Savage edged out St. George’s Kenneth Ng (6.51m) and Vancouver College’s Jasper Schiedel (6.50m) for the gold medal. “It was a great feeling to win,” Savage said. “I can’t really describe it. “I have waited all year for this.” Savage won bronze last month at the Fraser Valley championships, with a leap of 6.19m. At the very beginning of last season, Savage broke his ankle. He rehabbed and worked his way back, qualifying for provincials despite not being able to fully prepare. But he still wound up sixth. “The goal was to try and get back to where I was before I hurt myself,” he said. He also competed in the high jump at provincials, finishing 11th. Savage is used to success, especially on the big stage. In 2013, he captured the gold medal in the midget (16 and under) division at the Legion youth track and field championships. He leapt 6.66m to take top spot. That meet was also held at McLeod Park, where Savage usually trains about four days a week. He is not affiliated with any track and field clubs. He know shifts his focus to training in hopes of qualifying for the Legion national youth track and field championships this August. They will be held in Quebec.
