CONSULTANT REVIEW OF BROOKSWOOD, COULTER BERRY CONTROVERSIES SAYS STAFF AND COUNCIL ACTED PROPERLY, BUT FAILED TO WIN PUBLIC TRUST D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r
A report by an outside consultant concludes Langley Township politicians and staff lost the trust of residents even though they acted properly during the Brookswood/ Fernridge Coulter Berry building battles. A memo to council from Peter Whitelaw, titled “Review of Brookswood/Fernridge and Coulter Berry processes: what happened” says resistance arose because of confusion over the nature of the proposals and a failure to consult widely. The report was drafted for the mayor’s standing committee on public engagement, set up to overhaul communication with residents in the wake of last year’s bitter battle over increased housing density in the semi-rural Brookswood/Fernridge neighbourhood. After several public hearings, dominated by opponents of the plan, Township council voted it down at an April meeting, overriding the mayor and the only councillor who backed the proposal, Grant Ward (who lost his seat in the November election). The Whitelaw memo suggests the redevelopment of Willoughby into a high-density residential region cast a long shadow over the Brookswood/Fernridge planning process. The attempted overhaul of the 1987 community plan for Brookswood/Fernridge was the first since Willoughby, “where the experience has been decidedly mixed to date,” Whitelaw writes. Continued Page 5

Alisha Xue, 7, releases a Monarch butterfly at Krause Berry Farms in Langley on Saturday. More than 300 butterflies were purchased for $20 each and then released as part of a fundraiser for the Langley Lodge and Langley Hospice Society.
More than 300 Monarch butterflies fluttered into the air at Krause Berry Farms in Langley, Saturday afternoon. It was a fundraiser for Langley Hospice and Langley Lodge. Participants paid $20 each for a butterfly, bred locally by Langley resident Kim Sutton. Sutton was worried the heat wave could hurt the butterflies, if they were left to wait in their small carrying cases while they were being hand-held for simultaneous release. “You think it’s perfect weather, but in some ways, it’s worrying when it’s too hot,” she said. To ensure a safe release, people were allowed to set their butterflies free immediately upon receipt, sending them off in a flower garden at the entrance to the farm. Sutton began breeding Monarch butterflies in her basement as a hobby eight years ago. It’s blossomed into a business that provides the pretty fliers to “weddings, funerals and everything in between,” Sutton said. Funds raised from the butterfly release will allow the Langley Lodge to continue development of their therapeutic recreation programming in order to provide enhanced activities and therapies to residents and assist the Langley Hospice Society to expand the palliative care and grief support programs they offer free of charge.
Province must find funding for transit, Township mayor says DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter
JACK FRO ES E
The provincial government must find another source of funding for transit improvements now that voters have rejected a proposed sales tax increase, Township mayor Jack Froese told council during Mon-
day night’s regular meeting. “I’m as committed as ever to being a partner in building new transit and securing service improvement across the region and in Langley, but we will need the B.C. government to start coming to the table with new funding sources to meet that
need and prevent major service cuts,” Froese said during his regular mayor’s report. Afterwards, Froese told The Times that improvements to transit must be made. “It’ll happen in time,” Froese predicted. Continued Page 3

Canoe journey about spiritual, cultural connections
Twenty-five big canoes and more than 500 paddlers from across Canada arrived on the shores of the Bedford Channel in Fort Langley on Sunday, July 5. The Pulling Together Canoe Journey arrived at the Kwantlen First
Nation boat launch in the Bedford Channel with supporters and members of the public there to cheer their arrival. The Pulling Together Journey began on July 2 and continues until July 10, through Chilliwack, Ab-
botsford, Vancouver and beyond. The Pulling Together Journey is a co-operative event between B.C. First Nations and various government agencies, including police. Kwantlen First Nation’s canoe is called “Kwantlen Shxweli” (Kwan-
tlen Spirit) and the paddlers are the “Kwantlen Tireless Runners.” This is their maiden voyage as a canoe family. They are joined by youth from Kwikwetlem and Katzie Nations. “This is not just a summer camp,
it’s an assertion of who we are as a people, and is intended to show our spiritual, cultural, historical, and contemporary connections to our un-ceded territories,” said Kwantlen First Nation’s Brandon Gabriel.
With 184 active fires, B.C. on Six-month deadline set pace for worst-ever season TOM FLETC H E R Bl ack Pre s s
The B.C. government has spent more than $80 million so far this year battling forest fires, on pace for one of the worst fire seasons on record. Meanwhile, Langley and the rest of southwestern B.C. remained under an air quality advisory Tuesday, as haze from fires burning across the lower half of the province engulfed the Valley. There were 27 new fire starts reported in B.C. on Sunday alone, with 184 active fires being fought across the province and nine evacuation alerts and orders in effect as of Monday affecting 800 homes. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the unusual early dry spell has provincial costs running ahead of 2003, where devastating fires at Barriere near Kamloops and in the Okanagan destroyed or damaged 238 homes and burned 12 wooden trestles in the Myra Canyon stretch of the historic Kettle Valley Railway.
The 2009 fire season is the most expensive on record, with $382 million spent, compared to $375 million in 2003. Those years also saw prolonged drought, but it set in later in the summer. A tree-faller was killed Sunday while working on a fire on the Sunshine Coast, the latest reminder of the danger of firefighting. In 2010, two air tanker pilots were killed, and a helicopter pilot died fighting a fire in 2009. There is no budget limit for forest fire expenditures. While the costs have to be accounted for after the season, de Jong said he is more concerned with the continued carelessness of people despite the financial and human costs. “I was driving down the highway yesterday and I saw someone throw a cigarette out of their car,” de Jong said. “Give your head a shake. I don’t know what is wrong with people who wantonly put other people’s lives and property at risk.”

“But it will cost us more.” Langley City mayor Ted Schaffer said he and Froese will be meeting Surrey mayor Linda Hepner today (Wednesday) to discuss their options “south of the Fraser.” “We have to go back and discuss [funding] with the province to see where they’re at,” Schaffer said. Schaffer told The Times it appears some federal funding might be available for transit. The Mayor’s Council on Regional Transportation has given the provincial government six months to find another source of funding and fix the way TransLink operates. If there is no progress “on TransLink account-

ability and [the] funding gap by the end of 2015, the Mayor’s Council will be forced to reconsider its role within the TransLink governance structure,” states the resolution passed by the council on July 2, the same day the results of the transit plebiscite on the proposed 0.5 per cent sales tax hike were disclosed. The resolution also warns a property tax increase is not an acceptable alternative. The proposed tax that would have funded $7.5 billion in upgrades over 10 years was rejected by 61.7 per cent of all voters in the region. The margin against was higher in Langley Township where 74.49 per cent voted no, and in Langley City, where residents vot-
ed 72.29 per cent against. The mayors never wanted the referendum and repeatedly said something as crucial to the region as transit expansion should not go to a public vote. They had previously extracted a promise from former Premier Gordon Campbell to allow a new transit revenue source. But Premier Christy Clark reneged and promised in the 2013 provincial election any new tax source for TransLink would have to be approved by local voters. Left with only that path to new funding, mayors agreed last year to the plebiscite and chose a hike in the provincial sales tax from 7.0 to 7.5 per cent within Metro. – with files from Jeff Nagel

On one of the hottest days of the year so far, boaters took to Bedford channel in Fort Langley on Sunday in an effort to beat the heat.
Township fire department has been slammed with calls for service, with 722 calls coming in since June 1. “We’ve been extremely busy,” said Township assistant fire chief Pat Walker. Since June 1, firefighters have

gone out to nine house fires and put out 93 bush and grass fires. A number of those fires were caused by discarded cigarettes. When the smoke from B.C. forest fires was at its thickest, the fire hall phone lit up with calls, with many thinking Langley was on fire, he said.
Firefighters have also been going out to lots of medical calls for people with breathing issues. Wildfires are burning throughout the province, but so far Langley firefighters haven’t been called to help, as they did during the 2003 Kelowna fires, said Walker.

Media partly responsible Power bar blamed for house fire for confusion - Whitelaw MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
“No area of Willoughby has completely built out, schools have lagged behind population growth and transit service has not kept up,” the memo says. As well, Whitelaw says the details of the 1987 plan, which called for a “significant” increase in population, were not well-known by residents. He also blames media coverage of the process, including reporting by The Times, for confusing residents. The Times, he says, did not use the correct name for the planning process, an apparent reference to stories that identified it as the “Brookswood” plan instead of “Brookswood/Fernridge.” Whitelaw also says media coverage confused the update of the Griffiths Neighbourhood plan with the Brookswood/Fernridge Community Plan. But he also says the decision to begin working on the Griffiths plan before the Brookswood/Fernridge Community Plan was finished, created confusion because it “could be interpreted to mean that the Township considered the Community Plan to be a fait accompli [thus] engendering mistrust of the Township’s authenticity in engaging the community in the planning process.” It didn’t help that the projected population increase jumped from a maximum of less than 36,000 to 42,000 without any explanation to residents for the 16 per cent hike,
Whitelaw says. That some critics complained about the fact developers were funding the planning was also an issue. And there were also “no meetings with community groups, formal or informal … by the planning team,” Whitelaw notes. The report calls for several changes to avoid future controversies, mostly aimed at conveying to residents exactly what is happening, including underlining the independence of the planning process even when it is funded by builders, and ending the practice of jumping the gun by launching a local planning process before a regional plan has been finished. The assessment of the Coulter Berry battle suggests council shouldn’t have been surprised by the negative reaction to a building that “proposed to push the limits” of existing design guidelines in Fort Langley. It observes that while council’s decision to approve a heritage alteration permit to allow the bigger building may have been legal, it amounted to “a repudiation of the history of heritage protection in the area.” To avoid more conflict and controversy in Fort Langley, the report calls for a “broader community dialogue” on heritage issues. It says the report is “not aware that such a dialogue has taken place and [encourages] the Township to carefully undertake one in the near future.”
An overloaded power bar is being blamed for a house fire in a home on 200 Street on Sunday evening, June 28. At around 6 p.m., Township fire crews were called to the older bungalow-style
The residents of the home were able to get out without injury. The house has no smoke detectors, so it could have been a much more dangerous electrical fire if it had taken place in the middle of the night, he noted.

Water restrictions tightened LAWN SPRINKLING NOW PERMITTED ONCE A WEEK Record high temperatures and extremely dry weather conditions mean Langley residents, along with residents in other communities across the region, are being asked to conserve water. Stage 2 watering restrictions were enacted by the Greater Vancouver Water District on Friday, July 3, so that diminishing water supplies can be maintained for drinking and emergency use. The restrictions apply in all areas of the Township that use the municipal water system, whether that comes from Metro Vancouver water reservoirs, groundwater, or a mix. Private well owners are also encouraged to cut back on their water usage. “We had lower than normal amounts of snowfall and precipitation this fall and winter, meaning there was less water available in reserve, and summer arrived in full force early this year,” said Township environmental co-ordinator, Meaghan Norton Daniel. “The high water demand that comes with extremely hot conditions means that Metro Vancouver’s reserves are being depleted much sooner, and at
a faster rate than normal,” she said, noting that Langley Township’s water system is also being strained. The hope is that, by declaring Stage 2 restrictions and cutting back now, the water system will be better able to recover from peak demands, and the amount of water extracted from GVWD and Township groundwater supply sources will be reduced. “It is hoped that by taking action and conserving now, we can avoid further restrictions,” Norton Daniel said. Under Stage 2 restrictions, lawn sprinkling will be allowed only one morning a week. For residences, that means even-numbered homes can water lawns on Mondays from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m., with odd-numbered addresses allowed to sprinkle on Thursdays, from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. Businesses and other non-residential uses with even addresses can water their lawns on Wednesdays from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. only, and odd-numbered addresses can sprinkle Tuesdays from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. Washing driveways and sidewalks and the use of pressure washers for aesthetic purposes

has been banned; they can only be done for health and safety reasons. Fountains and water features are to be shut down and water play parks can only operate with child-activated buttons. The watering of school yards, sports fields, park lawns, cemeteries, boulevards, and golf course fairways are now cut to minimal levels to keep them in usable condition. In most cases, that is once a week. Under the current Stage 2 restrictions, flowers, vegetable gardens, and decorative planters, trees, and shrubs can still be watered. Pools, spas and ponds can be refilled, and cars and boats can be washed outside using a hose equipped with a spring-loaded shut off. Commercial car washes are still operating and new lawn permits are still being issued. The restrictions will remain in effect until Sept. 30, and all areas of the Township will be subject to the next stages of restrictions if deemed necessary by Metro Vancouver or the Township’s general manager of engineering.

Complex care made personal At Magnolia Gardens, the Care Centre team has an encouraging smile and a warm expression for each and every resident. Whether it takes a gentle, guiding hand, or a wealth of knowledge, staff at Magnolia Gardens Care Centre has a particular ability to provide residents with the assurances and choices they need about complex care. Sue Wilson, Director of Care, explains, “It’s personal for us, like family. We consider it our responsibility to relate directly to our residents, to stop and hold a hand when we need to, or to be a walking companion in the gardens.” Sue has worked in residential care for 20 years and says she has never seen this level of compassion at any other residence. “You feel welcomed, there is a warmth and it’s genuine.” Knowing you’ll have access to the right kind of care when you need it, with activities and support adapted to meet particular abilities, is vital when considering complex care. Sue is adept at walking people through the decision process, educating them about their
options and helping them transition through a move-in. “I give people information so they can better understand what their choices are, which means they can make the right decision for their needs – whether that’s with our Care Centre, or somewhere else.” When considering Complex Care, Sue asks individuals and families to consider: 1. What are the physical or mental limitations? 2. What care model makes the most sense for you? Private care or public care? 3. How urgent is the need? 4. What are the financial limitations? How will you apply for a funded bed if you need it? 5. Who is making the final care choices? The individual, the partner or is it a family decision?
Residents who already live independently at Magnolia Gardens are in the perfect setting to make an easy transition to more complex care. With gentle guidance and physical and psychological assessments, staff can recommend appropriate next steps, always with the utmost in tactfulness and consideration. There is never a lack of activity in the Care Centre. Staff encourages residents – regardless of physical challenges – to participate frequently, as all activities are adapted to meet different abilities. With everything from social hour to fitness class, Tai Chi to crafts, gardening, music programs and Brain Games, there’s always an activity to suit someone. Personal suites are private and spacious, each with a large,

bright viewing window. But it’s all about the feeling that pervades the centre. “This place may not be the fanciest,” Sue says. “But it has a great big heart and plenty of passion. Come to think of it, it’s the kind of place that feels like home.” If you’re curious to find out more for yourself or a loved one, or simply need to know about choices for complex care, please contact Sue Wilson at the Magnolia Gardens Care Centre at 604 514-1210.
Magnolia Gardens is just blocks away from the downtown centre, public library, shops and services. With Independent Living and Care Centre in the same residence, we can accommodate your varying and changing needs.
You’ll like living here! Magnolia Gardens is a community for seniors who want to stay active, live independently, and have fun with their friends and families every day. SPECIAL ADVERTISING FEATURE

we
Put down the wand and step away from the power washer. Stage 2 water restrictions are now in effect across Metro Vancouver, and they include an outright ban on the use of pressure washers and other hosing off of outdoor surfaces. The only exceptions to the new rules include instances where people’s health and safety are at risk, or if you’re preparing a driveway for painting or sealing. In our opinion, these rules are long overdue and should be included in stage 1 restrictions. It’s never been too clear to us why people feel the need to waste water washing their driveways as a matter of habit, anyway. Is it vanity? Trust us, nobody’s envious of your super clean asphalt. Perhaps the surface doubles as a basketball court and scattered rocks create a safety hazard. In that case, a good old-fashioned push broom will provide the perfect pregame warm up. Level 2 restrictions also mean that lawn watering is now limited to once a week in Metro Vancouver, unlike Mission (see below) where the district, along with the City of Abbotsford, is calling for a complete ban. But we’re looking forward to seeing many more golden lawns in the Langleys over the next couple months. As long as the rain holds off, that will be the clearest sign that residents are taking the water restrictions to heart and understand that just because you’re still allowed to water your grass, it’s not actually required. We’ve come to a point where boasting a verdant lawn throughout the dry summer months isn’t a point of pride, it’s more like a scarlet letter — only, you know, green. Among other restrictions now in place, decorative fountains must be turned off and only child-activated spray parks are running. Hand watering plants is still OK. Looking at a long-term forecast that calls for nothing but more sun and hot temperatures, it’s a fair guess that things are going to get far worse before they get better. And while, as far as we know, nobody will be along to time our showers or to ensure that we turn off the tap between rinses when we’re brushing our teeth, it’s up to all of us to use a little common sense and acknowledge that, when it comes to our dwindling water supply, we all have a part to play in saving for a rainy day.

Question
of the week
Are you taking any measures beyond what is required by Metro restrictions to curb your water use?
Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
More ways to save they
There are going to be a lot of brown lawns in Mission in the coming months. As of last week, the district, along with the City of Abbotsford, has called for a complete ban on lawn watering. An unseasonably hot and dry June has already caused a large increase in water use in Mission – a full 25 per cent more than the norm. So the time to conserve is now. With the normally hot July and August still to come, we can be assured that water will be in more and more in demand. If that means we have to sacrifice our green lawns for brown, then so be it. What water we manage to conserve now will help to avoid shortages in the months ahead. However, while stage three restrictions have been implemented, the sprinkling ban seems a bit limited, considering what residents are still permitted to do. Washing your vehicle is still allowed if you uses a spray nozzle that automatically shuts off. Filling a wading pool is still allowed. Running the sprinkler for kids to play in is still OK. Unlike in Metro Vancouver, pressure washing your driveway or home is still allowed. It seems there are more ways to save water that are also worth exploring. – Mission City Record

Off-leash dog park would suit majority Editor: In response to Margo Donovan’s letter, Unleashed dogs ruin park experience (The Times, July 1), perhaps Passive Park should just be turned into an off-leash dog park. I say, majority rules. It has become somewhat of an unspoken off-leash area, with a lake and fun trails for our four-legged friends to explore. For people with dogs, the park is so much more fun than walking around in a dusty circle with little to no shade, as we are forced to do at the appointed off-leash area at 44 Avenue and 206 Street. Maybe a sign saying “We welcome all family members” should be installed, so that parents can be prepared for the “horrifically frightening” sight of a happy dog being near their child. There are countless specifically made children’s parks in Langley. What’s wrong with sharing this area that is perfect for everyone? SHANA WILLIAMSON, LANGLEY

Couple grateful for TIME program Editor: We would like to express our profound thanks to the Township of Langley’s Parks and Recreation department for their offering of the TIME (Together in Movement & Exercise) program. This program was designed by physical therapists for persons suffering from strokes, acquired brain injuries, multiple sclerosis and other mobility concerns. My husband suffered two major strokes in February, 2013 and was left unable to
walk. After months of rehabilitation, he regained a lot of his strength and mobility. However, he must continue to exercise or he will lose the gains that he has achieved. He exercises daily, but twice a week he goes to the Walnut Grove recreation centre for one hour. There, he is able to perform recommended exercises in a small group of people under the supervision of a trainer,
who has had specific training from Fraser Health. This has enabled him to enjoy his independence. I know that there are so many demands on all our tax dollars and we are just very thankful that Langley Township has seen the wisdom of offering this program as part of his stroke recovery. RON AND MARY MARQUETTE, LANGLEY
‘Yes’ vote would have hurt lowest paid Editor: I’m glad that the plebiscite failed. It would have hurt the lowest paid members of our society, like the homeless, pensioners, disabled, and basically anyone that does not make over $100,000 dollars per year, like I read in the Langley Times (Township sal-
aries released, July 1). The mayors can sit down again and think of new way to create more homeless people by raising fees, levies and home owner’s taxes, but I think that I have a better solution to the lack of funds. First, get rid of the mayors council and run this province
by the government that was elected to do that in Victoria. Second, raise personal provincial income taxes like the rest of the provinces do and quit bragging about our province having the lowest personal provincial taxes in the country. This way, people who make a lot of money and
use most of our infrastructure pay for it instead of Joe Q. Citizen, who makes, as you have reported, and average of $46,900 per year (or less). Third, I think it is time for a change in our provincial leaders. HANK KUIPERS, LANGLEY
Remembering Sir William Stephenson at Canada Day Editor: Langley municipality has the best Canada Day Celebrations, with no less than two events — one at Fort Langley and one at the Langley Events Centre. This year, the Langley airport-based Canadian Museum of Flight brought their replica First World War-era Sopwith Camel biplane to Fort Langley. Here is where I started a series of conversations about the topic of Canadian innovators. One of the museum’s experts
explained how new air force pilots typically only had five hours of flight training in the Camel before being sent on missions into enemy territory in the First World War — this being due to the escalation of the war. The death toll was horrible, with many pilots not lasting past their first mission. But amazingly, there were the new pilots who lasted the entire war. These pilots gathered information quickly on their own, outside of their training.
And they often broke the rules when they felt it would result in their survival. They often went out on their own, unauthorized, missions and flew the Camels up to 15,000 feet before dive attacking the enemy planes at up to 160mph. This was far higher than the 5,000-foot ceiling and faster than the 100-mph rating of the Camel. This brought us to the second topic, that of the Winnipeg-born
Canadian, Sir William Stephenson. He also had flown the Sopwith Camel in the First World War and had scored 12 victories before being shot down and captured. Years later he became an innovator and successful businessman and became worried about the Nazi govern ment after many business trips to Germany. He more than likely remembered the horrible death toll of the war and decided it was time
to innovate. His new method of winning the war was to gather intelligence and use individual operatives, which would be more efficient than the army. He is the real man behind the James Bond fiction stories and became the head of British Intelligence. It is quite likely that the Allies won the Second World War largely due to the more efficient and less bureaucratic methods devised by Stephenson. BEN WIENS, LANGLEY

Meet Cleopatra! Cleo was surrendered to us after her cat siblings were ganging up on her. She is 4 years old and is lovely with dogs. She enjoys other cats as long as they enjoy her! She has a bit of cattitude, so she would not be suitable for a home with small kids. She is a very special black beauty and is just waiting for that purrfect person to come along and sweep her off her paws. If you feel like you could be that person, please call us for more information at LAPS at 604 857-5055.

Daylily open house will mark 25 years of growth Erikson’s Daylily Garden will celebrate its 25th anniversary at the annual open house event on July 11 and 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.  As usual, this will be an admission-by-donation event, with monies collected going to BC Children’s Hospital and other local charities.  The Aldergrove Daylily Society will be on hand to hold a raffle, with gifts donated by local merchants such as Chaberton Estate Winery, Krause Berry Farms, JD Turkey Farms, Otter Co-op, Big Bear Tools, VanDusen Botanical Garden Association, Well Seasoned Gourmet and more. Other selected exhibitors will also be on site, as well as the VanDusen Master Gardeners and light harp music provided by Judy Henry.

These are private gardens, so they are not wheelchair, stroller or walker accessible. Children must be kept with you at all times; no pets or smoking permitted. The gardens are at 24642 51 Ave. For full information, visit www.eriksonsdaylilygardens.com, or their Facebook page or call 604-856-5758.

n Has Arrived to Andy. “We’ve been here in the community for a while and many of the customers are the children/grandchildren of those who came here for servicing back when we first opened. It’s really nice to see that kind of loyalty.” For Andy, the customer interaction and being able to help his customers save time and money is what he enjoys most about his job. “I’ve gotten to know so many great people working here – people who have become like family. And I’m kind of like their family doctor, except I treat their vehicle.” While the customer service is undeniably part of Budget Brake & Muffler Auto Centres’ winning formula, it’s the affordability and reliability that has put this auto shop on the map and in the heart of its customers. “We provide great service, but we are also very honest and reliable,” noted Andy. “At the end of the day we will tell our
customer what their vehicle needs and never pressure them – We are very straight forward with what needs to be done and what can be held off.” Nowadays, Andy has noticed many of the younger generation will purchase a brand new car every five years – an exuberant cost he says is unnecessary and hard on the environment. “Just because your warranty is over and it has a few miles on it, doesn’t mean your car is useless and should be discarded,” said Andy, also noting that Budget Brake & Muffler offers an excellent warranty and that they’re warranty approved when it comes to new vehicles purchased. “By taking care of your car and bringing it in for regular servicing, you can extend the life of your car for years to come.” Stop putting off repairs and make your appointment today!

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
New President will put Langley First
I
wish to thank the Membership for the opportunity to represent the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce as President of the Board for the next two year term. Congratulations to the new Board of Directors that was elected at the 84th Annual General Meeting, and thank you to those who have completed their terms. Your commitment of volunteer time, energy, resources, and expertise has been greatly appreciated. My first official duty was to recognize i and d express our gratitude to Kristine Simpson who has tirelessly carried out the duties of President during the past two years. Under her leadership we have managed to address numerous concerns relating to business in our community, the Province and in Canada. We have also continued to work towards and are on target with our long term strategic and succession plans. Under her guidance and leadership we were able to maintain the Chamber’s membership and explore options to improve services to our members. We have examined our operations through a very close lens and through this prism we have made tough decisions to ensure the Chamber remains both vibrant and relevant. I look forward to the year ahead and give you my commitment to carry on the good work that has been done by Presidents and Boards for the past 84 years! Working with the Board of Directors and staff, I will continue to seek input from our members to make
positive change in our organization and to address challenges facing our business community. A couple of personal goals I will pursue are encouraging our members and the public to consider Langley first and to grow our business community by shopping locally, improved communications to our members on our advocacy efforts as the Voice of Business in Langley, and examination of our events and programs to ensure we continue to meet the needs of all of our existing members and to encourage increased participation from our growing business community. On June 26th, the Board of Directors participated in a day long Strategic Planning Session to identify issues affecting the health, prosperity and well-being of Langley businesses, and develop a strategy to make recommendations for change at all levels of government. As municipal boundaries disappear with regional growth and development, we will continue to work with Chambers throughout our region to strengthen the Voice of Business and provide more networking and promotional opportunities for our members. We also look forward to working in partnership with our Member of Parliament, MLAs, and Mayors and Councils to promote Langley as a great place to live, play, give birth to babies, and conduct business. In closing, I would once again like to express our thank you to the previous Board Members and Committee Volunteers for your dedication of time and expertise. I look forward to working with the 2015/2016 Board of Directors, our membership, and our staff to continue to grow the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce, and strengthen the Voice of Business for our two Langleys.. Scott Johnston, President

THE VOICE OF BUSINESS GLCC ADVOCACY UPDATE
Collection of Duty and Taxes at Canada/US Border The Mission of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce is to foster a positive business environment by providing members with leadership, advocacy and services of value. Executive Director, Lynn Whitehouse, and select Board members recently submitted four resolutions at the BC Chamber Annual General Meeting in Prince George and all were successful at receiving support of the majority. Over the next few issues of The Chamber Voice newsletter, we will be sharing these resolutions so you can learn more about how the GLCC supports our community, and advocates on behalf of our members. If you have any questions about the Chamber’s advocacy efforts, please feel free to call Lynn at 604-3713770. Cross-border shopping by Canadians in the United States was an estimated $4.7 billion in 2006. Since then, annual increases have taken the total to $8.0 billion in 2012, 72% higher than 2006[1]. The impact on B.C. retailers, particularly in border towns, is costing the economy billions of dollars which could be minimized if duties were enforced at the border. Approximately three-quarters of Canadians live within 160 kilometres of the Canada-US border. Therefore, many consumers use their relatively easy access to the United States as a shopping option. This is especially true in the lower mainland/Metro Vancouver area of British Columbia for those living along the border. A study conducted by the Business Council of BC indicated sameday trips to the U.S. increased by more than 143 percent in BC between 2009 and 2012. Under the laws, there are no personal exemptions permitted for same day cross border shoppers. Assuming 95% of day-trippers return with a full tank of gas, at an average of $70, and $80 worth of goods, there is a significant impact on B.C.’s economy due to lost profits and tax collections (GST, PST, gas taxes, etc.). The federal government has clearly acknowledged that day trips should not be exempted from taxes, as stated by Jim Flaherty “Our government has no plans to create an exemption for day trips under 24 hours as it would disadvantage retailers in border communities and elsewhere in Canada,” but Border Services Officers continue to routinely waive taxes and duties on goods bought by travellers in the U.S. According to a briefing note for the Prime Minister prepared in June 2014, the border agency waives taxes when the value is below a certain threshold. The threshold was established by considering the cost for CBSA to process a traveller through the collection process, but the threshold is not publicly available. Collections may also be waived where the volume in collections results in unacceptable border processing delays, as determined by local management.[2] As these amounts are not tracked, there is likely a significant impact to the local economy, which is not being tracked or managed to ensure it makes economic sense. The Chamber is sympathetic to the concern regarding unacceptable border processing delays and has no interest in increasing collection processes which cause impediments to the efficient flow of commercial traffic and processing. A key barrier to consistent collection of duties and taxes are the conflicting responsibilities of the border personnel.
The border personnel are managing revenue collection, service to the public (wait times), interdiction of inadmissible persons and goods, and the facilitation of legitimate trade and travel. Local management have the authority to adjust priorities and have several options available to them in order to meet these objectives, including opening more lanes, planning shift schedules, scheduling overtime, etc., but many of these options require increased resources and costs. The priorities of personnel include the security and safety of our nation, therefore collection of duties and taxes are by default a lower priority. A consistent pattern of non-collection of taxes and duties at the Canada/US Border creates a further incentive for residents to choose cross border shopping. This puts Canadian retailers at an unfair disadvantage and results in a significant economic loss to border communities. RECOMMENDATION The Chamber recommends that the Federal Government: 1. Examine current policies and protocols to identify and implement efficiencies to enable consistent collection of prescribed duties and taxes while maintaining the free flow of commercial traffic. 2. Research implementation of a self-reporting model (similar to Nexus) whereby the reporting onus will be placed on the individual, and Border Personnel will continue to be responsible for performing random checks. 3. Increase penalties and restrictions whereby noncompliant residents will incur penalties that are sufficiently onerous to deter abuse of the process and offset costs of enforcement, and abusers of a selfreporting model would become ineligible. ~ Submitted by the Greater Langley, Abbotsford and Penticton & Wine Country Chambers of Commerce

ADHD kids rock
JEFF RASMUSSEN, 15, IS GI VING KIDS WITH ADHD A VOICE AND A COMMUNITY THROUGH HIS POPULAR BLOG MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
“My life sometimes has been a living hell because I have ADHD — mostly because people don’t understand me. They think I’m bad, but I’m not. They think I’m stupid, but I’m not. They think I’m going to be a failure and I’m going to prove them wrong.” These are the winning words that earned Brookswood Secondary student Jeff Rasmussen a $12,000 “Scholarship For Real Life.” The money had to be used for a project that could reach out and help others facing adversity, and Jeff, 15, knew exactly what he wanted to do. He created a blog called ADHD Kids Rock, offering tips and life lessons and encouragement to other kids with ADHD. It can be lonely, Jeff said. “Now kids with ADHD can know they aren’t alone. They have a voice.” On his blog is a cartoon of him with his shoe above his head and it reads: “Where kids with ADHD are heard, understood and supported.” The scholarship money Jeff won had to be spent on growing his online project — trying to reach kids, teachers and parents across the world. To help him, the scholarship founders put Jeff in touch with mentor Ryan McRae, a gifted public speaker who lives in Chicago. Together they built Jeff’s site, which officially launched in October, 2014. Jeff’s blog piece about ADHD medication reached thousands of people, and generated more than 100 comments. His Facebook page is liked by more than 5,700 people across the world, mostly in North America. A poignant poem he wrote about living with ADHD got 75,000 views and has even been translated into other languages. It is that poem, which he wrote for an English assignment, that gets to the heart of what it is like to be a child living with ADHD. In it he writes about being excited to enter kindergarten and meeting friends, but finding himself put out in the hall, more and more. “My circle of friends got smaller and smaller,” he wrote. In the poem he also talks about changing
schools and trying again, how his Grade 4 teacher yelled at him every day, making him write lines over and over because his writing was so poor. Home was his haven, the classroom his jail, said Jeff. “Many people don’t realize that kids with ADHD — their brain doesn’t talk to our hands like it should, so my writing looks like a fifth grader,” said Jeff. He describes being bullied a lot by peers and teachers. “I want to teach kids how to advocate for themselves at school and everywhere.” Jeff’s mom, Beverlee, who helps manage the blog, said she didn’t really believe or understand anything about ADHD before Jeff came along. He is the youngest of her three boys. “Jeff was super smart and creative and a bit quirky just like me, so I couldn’t understand why he was always getting in trouble at school,” she said. “He was put out in the hall in kindergarten. One year his teacher called him out in front of class because he had forgotten his pencil every single day and refused to write in his planner.” Around 10 per cent of children
have ADHD or ADD and yet, there are few resources available for parents and teachers. Some teachers understand and adapt, others don’t believe in ADHD, said Beverlee. “It can’t be cured with good nutrition or by taking out sugar. ADHD is absolutely real.” It wasn’t until Jeff was in Grade 7 that the Rasmussens decided to forgo the wait list in B.C. and pay for Jeff to be tested in the U.S. It was then they were given his diagnosis of ADHD. Jeff lacks impulse control, self regulation and, as with many kids with ADHD, he gets bored easily. So much so, he said that he gets tired and can fall asleep in the strangest places. He gets frustrated and acts out, and doesn’t always follow instruction or stay on task. “ADHD is sad because it makes people mad at you all the time,” he said. But Jeff has a message for everyone wondering about him and the hundreds of other young people in Langley just like him. “We aren’t crazy. We aren’t bad. We aren’t trying on purpose to get in trouble. We can’t help it,” he said. The key is finding a plan that works for each kid and finding the right medication and dosage. It’s a complicated process, mother and son agreed. “The first medication I was on worked really well but left me with migraines. Another

Jeff Ramsmusen won a $12,000 scholarship last year to create a project that would help others. His blog ADHD Kids Rock is turning heads, changing lives and giving kids with ADHD a community. LEFT: This is the Avatar of Jeff which he had created for his blog. The 15-year-old is proving kids with ADHD can do great things. one, if I took too much I would get angry and anxious,” Jeff said. Now he is on a lower dose and feels it helps a lot. He wouldn’t want to be off it. Last year, after some trying times at school, Jeff and his mom met with the principal who, with Jeff’s input, designed a behaviour plan to help him in the classroom. He also did some online courses during summer break through Langley Education Centre. Because he wasn’t stuck in a classroom, he excelled, covering 13 courses, including math 10 and social studies. “I could break any time. When I needed a break, I could play video games,” said Jeff. “I could wear my pajamas. These are all things I can’t do in the classroom.” Like many with ADHD, Jeff is drawn to gaming and has made friends online. While the struggle in the classroom continues, Jeff is busy on his blog trying to reach more kids and spread understanding. He asked kids to post videos of themselves about living with ADHD. He’s had some great response including some Continued Page 22

One mom wrote: “your site has helped so much because even though this has been hard on us as a family, it’s also made me realize it’s been hard on him, too.� So far, Jeff has been interviewed on the radio and an article about his blog was published in CHADD magazine. He will also speak in Portland this month in front of hundreds of people at the conference where he won the scholarship last year. He
will be updating the audience on his progress with the blog. He also has other big plans in the works, too. Jeff is working with Fort Langley author Terry Stafford (who wrote Matt & Jenn in Old Vancouver. She is helping him write a book for young readers. It’s about a boy living with ADHD and will follow in the lines of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Jeff said he was inspired to write a book because all the books he has read about living with ADHD have been ‘lame.’ He just lauched a kickstarter campaign to help continue all his goals under ADHDkidsrock.

Langley’s Megan Champoux is running for Canada in the 400m hurdles in Colombia at the world youth track and field championships. The meet runs July 15 to 19 and she is one of two members of the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club attending the prestigious meet, alongside Dean Ellenwood.
Hard work, talent, hard combo to beat
GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts
Dean Ellenwood doesn’t have to look far for role models or motivation. Older brother Stuart runs cross-country and track for the SFU Clan while middle sister Georgia is one of the top heptathlon athletes in Canada as well as a member of the University of Wisconsin track and field teams. She is in South Korea, representing Canada at the FISU World University Games in South Korea. “They have both been very big influences, especially my sister, seeing all the teams she is mak-
ing,” said Dean Ellenwood, the youngest of the three. And while Georgia may be the most recognizable of the three and cast a big shadow over her brothers, that is no problem. “It is also very motivating to see how much fun she has and how hard she works to make these teams,” Dean Ellenwood said. “And I want to do the same and follow in the same path.” And that is exactly what he is doing. The 17-year-old is set to represent Canada at the world youth Games in Cali, Colombia in the 800m event.
He is one of two Langley athletes — the other is 15-yearold Megan Champoux (see story above) — who made the Canadian roster. The youth championships are for athletes 17 and younger. The Canadian team leaves for Colombia on July 9 and the Games run July 15 to 19. “It was my main goal this year,” Ellenwood said. “Ever since I started track, it has been a dream for me and this is just the first step for bigger things as well.” To qualify for the Games, an athlete must be ranked first or
second across the country in their respective event. Ellenwood qualified after completing the 800m in 1:51.78 at the Harry Jerome Classic in Burnaby on June 8. This came just a few days after he won silver in the event at the B.C. high school track and field championships in a time of 1:55.73. Ellenwood also won bronze in the 400m at the championships. At the Harry Jerome Classic, Ellenwood shaved .30 seconds off his previous personal best. “I judge my race how the first lap is and when we came around after the first lap, I saw it was a
fast time and I was going from there,” he said. But even after posting that time, there was still the waiting game to see if someone else across the country was able to better the time. Finally, on June 22, the final Canadian roster was announced. “The focus and commitment Dean has shown over the last couple of years has been phenomenal,” said Dwayne Lotnick, Ellenwood’s coach with the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club.

“He listens to everything you say and works extremely hard. “Hard work plus talent, it is hard to beat that combination.” Ellenwood has run track since he was nine, but put the sport on the back burner to focus on soccer. He was a midfielder playing for Coastal FC in the EA Sports B.C. Soccer Premier League until he quit soccer two years ago. “I am more excited than nervous because I have been training for this,” Ellenwood said about representing his country. “I am not too nervous right now but probably will be when I step onto the track and see all the people.” Ellenwood’s only goal is to run his best in Colombia. “Mostly, I am just looking for a PB,” he said. “I am going to take it one step at a time. The ultimate goal is (to make the finals); that would be amazing.” Ellenwood enters Grade 12 at Langley

Willmott, McMahon land spots Carly Willmott won’t have to go far to continue her soccer career as the Walnut Grove graduate will suit up for the Trinity Western Spartans women’s soccer team in the fall. The five-foot-six defender will help anchor the Spartans backline at the centre-back position. “I like her character, her coachability and her willingness to work hard to grow as as a player,” said Trinity Western coach Graham Roxburgh. “We like the depth and desire that she will bring to the squad.
She is dedicated to the game and showed a desire to be at TWU.” Willmott played her club soccer with both New Westminster Barcelona and the Fraser Valley Action. With NW Barcelona, she earned the league title in the Metro Women’s Soccer League U21 A Division and helped the team finish second at the U21 provincial championships. The Spartans open the season at home against UBC Sept. 11. ••• Stephen McMahon is set to
continue his soccer career with the Fraser Valley Cascades. McMahon, a Brookswood Secondary graduate, is one of seven incoming recruits for the Abbotsford university from the EA Sports B.C. Soccer Premier League. McMahon played this past season for Surrey United and prior to that, spent a pair of seasons with the Abbotsford Mariners. “Stephen is a very intelligent player who reads the game fantastically,” said UFV interim head coach Tom Lowndes.

Xtreme down Storm in championship final, win sixth title The Langley Xtreme continue their domination of the local competition. For the sixth time in as many tries, the girls U14B softball team has captured a tournament title, improving to an
impressive 55-5 overall on the season. The team’s most recent victory came June 28 to 30 in Richmond at the Lower Mainland Cup. And the Xtreme managed a measure of re-
venge in the championship final, knocking off the Surrey Storm 7-2. The Storm had defeated Langley 9-3 during the round robin part of the tournament. Langley struck quickly in the finals, scoring five
times in the first three innings while the team played error-free defensively, including Jayna Hagen gunning down a runner at home plate from centre-field to save a run. For the tournament,
the Xtreme outscored their foes 46-19, including allowing just a single run in their first three games combined. In the team’s other games, they blanked the Maple Ridge Rage 01 7-0, beat the Coquitlam Clas-
sics 01/02 5-0 in game two and then tamed the Cloverdale Fury 8-1 in the third game. The only blemish in the round robin was a 9-3 setback to the Storm. The quarter-finals saw Piper French smack a
