Langley City may own the land the Langley Seniors Resources Centre (LSRC) stands on, but it doesn’t have a say over how the facility is operated. Chief Administrative Officer Francis Cheung confirmed to The Times that the City has been approached by some members of the LSRC to appear before council to ask for council intervention. Cheung said City staff explained that the lease agreement between the municipality and the seniors society doesn’t give the City a say over day-today operations. “The City of Langley is not on the board (of directors of the centre),” Cheung said. “We don’t have a role in terms of governing.” The lease agreement for the property at 20605 51B Ave. is for 50 years. In addition to donating the land, the city paid the centre $40,000 every year from 1998 to 2014 (plus a top-up $72,000 payment last year) to retire the mortgage on the building. Last month, Sharon Birnie, the co-founder of the LSRC, told The Times

FR ANCIS CHEUNG the internal dissension at the centre has reached the point where the City of Langley should take over running the facility. “It could be a parks and rec (department) run centre,” Birnie said. If the current battles continue, Birnie said she fears the result will be the “destruction of a fabulous support system for seniors.” Birnie sent an email message to the current president and board of directors of the centre society in April to ask that her name be removed from the centre’s main hall and that “any other signage and advertising that uses my name be discontinued.” Continued Page 3

DO YOU HAVE W O N ! CHRONIC PAIN? N E OP NEW TREATMENT AVAILABLE! Shockwave Pain Relief Treatment ShockWave Therapy in Orthopedics has been clinically researched and proven in journals such as Amercian Journal of Sports Medicine, Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, Foot & Ankle International, American Journal of Orthopedics and Related Research and more!

What are shockwaves? Shock waves are high-energy acoustic (sound) waves that are used to penetrate the skin to treat an injured area in the body. There is a high release of energy at the soft tissue/bone interface. The release of energy from the shock waves within the region of the affected tissues and the resultant compression and tension of cells creates a positive physiological effect. Mechano - transduction is the physiological effect thought to be responsible for stimulating normal and injured cells to produce healing factors.

How does it work? ShockWave Therapy involves using a hand-held probe to focus shock waves on the affected tissue and surrounding healthy tissue to induce physiological response that will initiate healing. It is important to accurately define the treatment area through appropriate diagnostics. We do that through taking in the patient’s concise pain history, palpation, x-rays, ultrasound, MRI etc. This ensures the most effective delivery of shock waves into the affected region. When applied to the skin, it allows an increased blood supply to the treated area by stimulation of neovascularization and growth Factors. Other benefits of ShockWave Therapy include: • Re-initiates stagnant healing processes in chronic • Facilitates resorption of calcifications in tendons and ligaments injuries • Stimulates migration (differentiation) of stem cells • Decreases inflammatory processes • Stimulates osteoclasts and fibroblasts to rebuild injured tissues

Evidence based success rates More than 80% of patients report improvement after the first treatment of the program. Most studies report a full healing rate of 65-85% after completion of the treatment program.

East Langley water line leaking, report says WORK DELAYED AS SECTION OF PIPE REPLACED D AN F ERGU SON Ti me s Re po rt e r

Leaks have been discovered in the $33.5 million East Langley Water Supply pipeline. A project update by the Township engineering division to council says the problem was uncovered during pressure testing of the line east of 248 Street. The unsigned July 2 memo says the pipeline manufacturer “has recently advised of quality control issues necessitating replacement of some sections [of pipe].” A “specialized sub-contractor” has been hired to fix the leaks by replacing sections of

pipe, the memo goes on to say. Similar issues have arisen in Surrey and Vancouver, the report says. The repair work will be done at the expense of the “contractor and/or pipe manufacturer” the report states, but the work will delay completion of the pipeline. The current completion date is now projected to be Aug. 23 and could be moved back based on weather and site conditions, the memo cautions. So far, over 13 kilometres of the 14-kilometre water pipeline has been installed between Willoughby and East Langley, and a

new pump station has been completed in Murrayville. Roughly 80 metres of pipe remain to be installed along the west bank of the Salmon River ravine by July 24, at which point testing will begin. The project will connect Aldergrove and Gloucester to Metro Vancouver’s water system. Township planners expect the East Langley Water Supply will bring an end to the severe watering restrictions that east Langley residents and businesses have faced during summer months to avoid depleting the aquifers. Work on the water pipeline got underway in May of 2013.

Society board chair Shauna Sailer has said the board was “saddened” by the request, and hoped she would change her mind. Birnie told The Times she doesn’t want her name associated with the centre any more because of the current dispute over spending cuts and policy changes that she believes has brought the centre to the point of collapse. Birnie said the centre managed to handle big deficits in the past without upsetting members and forcing out long-time staff, something she says the current administration has done. Several centre employees have either quit or gone on medical leave since the board appointed new management with a mandate to cut costs, including food expenses for the centre cafe and what was described as “excessive” overtime by employees. In May, by a three-to-one margin, the board of directors won a show-of-hands vote on a resolution that would have removed the entire board of directors. Several hundred people attended the meeting, overflowing the main hall into the foyer. Sailer said the people campaigning against the changes at the centre were a “select, small group … who appear to be on a mission to destroy the very foundation of this society.” She said the critics do not appear to understand the society has a deficit of $95,000 that must be addressed.

High levels of debt mean many B.C. households may be under serious financial pressure once a long-expected climb in interest rates finally begins. British Columbians had an average of $99,834 in household debt in 2014, according to a new survey by Pollara conducted for BMO’s annual debt report. That’s up more than 26 per cent from $79,089 in 2013. According to the report, 58 per cent of B.C. households carry credit card debt despite the high interest rates they charge. That’s well above the national average of 52 per cent. It found 44 per cent in B.C. have mortgages and 10 per cent have student loans. Seventy-one per cent of B.C. respondents with household debt said they would be stressed if interest rates rose two points — significantly more than the national average

of 64 per cent or 59 per cent of Albertans who said a two-point hike would be stressful. “The sizable number of indebted households that would feel very strained by a relatively moderate increase in interest rates is concerning,” BMO senior economist Sal Guatieri said. “This is a worrisome side effect of a prolonged period of low interest rates and needs to be closely monitored, especially if rates continue to fall.” Guatieri said the rising household debt levels may be partly explained in some areas by rapidly rising home prices that spur buyers to take on larger mortgages. Bank officials say an eventual rise in rates to normal levels is inevitable and families should stress-test their ability to withstand the increase and manage their finances in a higher rate environment. A typical Surrey house now selling for $689,000 requires

mortgage payments of $2,840 a month, assuming a 2.7 per cent rate, 10 per cent down payment and 25-year amortization. A two-point rise to 4.7 per cent would take that payment up to $3,500. Too many people in the Lower Mainland in particular are buying homes at prices that leave them barely able to cover the mortgage and associated household costs, said Gary Tymoschuk, vice-president of operations for the Credit Counselling Society. “Then you throw on an extra credit card or two and it makes it very tight in terms of managing all the debt,” he said. The society is already called on to help significant numbers of people in financial trouble but it expects the need to increase when rates climb. “A lot of British Columbians are living pretty close to that wire in terms of our overall indebtedness versus what we can afford to pay,” Tymoschuk said.

Tourism Langley benefits from increase in number of visitors staying overnight DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter

Tourism Langley benefited from a seven-percent increase in overnight hotel stays in 2014, collecting an additional $25,445 from the municipal hotel room tax. The two per cent tax, which applies to approximately 360 hotel rooms in the city and 1,600 rooms in the Township, generated 79 per cent of revenue for Tourism Langley in 2014. However funding sources for the agency remain a “complex and unstable” mix of private and public money, according to the Tourism Langley 2014 fiscal year report. The report, distributed to Township council members at the end of June, shows Tourism

Langley spent $527,135 promoting the City and Township to visitors through online and social media. It plans to spend $650,225 in 2015. An unsigned memo to council from Tourism Langley says there were more than 150,000 visits to the Tourism Langley website in 2014, a 57 per cent hike. “Further, Tourism Langley experienced a tripling of social media followers to some 8,600 Facebook followers and 5,300 Twitter followers,” the memo says. The report notes the agency closed its walk-in visitors centre at the Langley Events Centre because the number of people using the facility had dropped by 16.6 per cent from 2013 to 2014, this after a 44.5 per cent drop from 2012 to 2013.

MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

A third generation Langley resident has been named as the 51-year-old man killed in a basement suite fire in Surrey on July 4. Gerald Jorgenson died at the scene, after Surrey firefighters pulled him out of the burning

home just before 1 a.m. His landlords called 911 to report the fire, which may have been caused by a burning cigarette. His mother, Carol, said Gerald’s grandfather, Alfred Jorgenson owned 20 acres of land across from Trinity Western University. Gerald leaves behind three

daughters, all in their 20s. He was a ‘Langley boy’ attending Glenwood Elementary and then Brookswood Secondary, she said. “He was considered the nicest guy,” said his mom. His funeral was held Monday at Henderson’s Funeral in Langley.

B.C. appetite for pot reform riding high: poll TWO-THIRDS OF BRITISH COLUMBIANS SURVEYED ENDORSE MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s

B.C.’s has a strong appetite for marijuana reform with more than 70 per cent of respondents to a new poll urging either legalization or decriminalization. The Insights West survey found 67 per cent said they support outright legalization, 28 per cent opposed it and five per cent were undecided. Support was slightly stronger among women, the under-35 age group and Vancouver Island residents, but at least 65 per cent back legalization in every region and within each age group. “There’s a lot of support for this,” said Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco. He said the results are a further climb from about 55 per cent support in B.C. a decade ago, and follows legalization

moves in U.S. states and a growing number of B.C. public figures endorsing reform over the years. A separate question asked which pot reform option most closely fits their view. Legalization was on top with 38 per cent, while 24 per cent said it should be decriminalized, 27 per cent said it should only be available for medical purposes, and seven per cent want it to always be illegal. Asked about the pros and cons of legalization, 87 per cent said taxing pot would generate useful revenues and more than three-quarters said cannabis has legitimate medical and health benefits, existing dispensaries are a safer method of access than drug dealers, and that legalization would let police focus on other priorities. Sixty-seven per cent believed gang violence tied to the illegal drug trade would

decline. Presented with a list of arguments against legalization, the top concern cited by 58 per cent was that it would result in more drug-impaired driving. Relatively few (35 per cent or less) agreed with concerns expressed by federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose — that legalization would increase risks of mental illness such as schizophrenia in some users and lead to greater use among children and teens. More than two-thirds of those polled endorsed the City of Vancouver decision to regulate existing medical marijuana dispensaries that sell pot illegally there rather than shut them down as Ambrose urged. Canseco said the tough talk from Ambrose in recent weeks is likely aimed at

buffing the Tories tough-on-crime reputation to hang onto Conservative votes elsewhere in Canada leading up to this fall’s federal election. “I don’t think she was appealing to the B.C. voters,” he said. “I think she was appealing to the hard core Conservative base in other parts of the country that don’t want to see this legalized.” Health Canada last week announced it will now let approved commercial producers of medical marijuana make and sell cannabis oil — in addition to dried bud — but not other edible products such as pot brownies and cookies. That move followed a Supreme Court of Canada ruling in June that it is unconstitutional for the government to limit access to medical marijuana to just the dried form.

Slightly healthier and slightly heavier in Langley FRASER HEALTH SURVEY SHOWS LOCAL RESIDENTS LEADING ABOVE AVERAGE LIFESTYLE DA N FERGU SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

Residents of Langley Township have healthier-than-average habits compared to most Metro Vancouver residents, a new survey by the Fraser Health Authority shows. By small margins, they are less likely to smoke (eight per cent compared to 11 per cent for all of Metro), more likely to exercise (49 per cent compared to 44 per cent for Metro) and have more friends than their counterparts in other communities (48 per cent of Township respondents report having four or more people they can confide in, compared to 45 per cent for Metro). Perhaps because of that, the Township residents tended to rate their overall mental and physical health slightly higher, with 50 per cent reporting excellent or very good physical health compared to 49 per cent in Metro, while 63 per cent of Township resident rated their mental health excellent or very good compared to 57 per cent of Metro residents. However, Langley resident were also heavier than average, with 29 per cent reporting obesity compared to 22 per cent for all of Metro. And they were far less likely to walk or cycle for errands at seven per cent of respondents compared to 20 per cent for Metro. They were even less likely to take public transit, with just eight per cent of Township residents using the limited local bus service compared to 28 per cent of Metro residents.

Dr. Victoria Lee, Chief Medical Health Officer for Fraser Health, presented the results of a survey of Metro residents to Township council that appears to show people in Langley live slightly healthier-than-average lives. “We’re trying to get a neighbourhood-level analysis.” The survey also shows more Township residents reported having a family doctor — 87 per cent, compared to 83 per cent for Metro — a finding that was questioned by some on

It was a terrible sight that greeted visitors to Brydon Lagoon on the B.C. Day long weekend last year. Thousands of dead fish floated on the surface of the Langley City pond — the victims, it was later established, of a deadly combination of high water temperatures and depleted oxygen levels. This year, as the mercury rose through late June and continued to hit record breaking levels all over B.C. during the first days of July, the alarm began to sound once more among local environmentalists. What if it happens again? Thanks to the efforts of Langley Field Naturalists and the City of Langley, that scenario is somewhat less likely. Since last year’s disaster, the City has purchased and installed a bubbler system to aerate the water from below, and plans are in place to add even more tubing, expanding its reach across the bottom of the lagoon. This is a good first step. But it’s not a stretch to assume that the long periods of hot, dry weather we’ve been experiencing could become the norm in future summers. Add to that, the fact that over the years, sediment has been building up on the bottom of the pond. Some estimate that its overall depth has been reduced by half since it was first measured in the mid 1980s. Shallower water heats more quickly, and that’s bad news for all its inhabitants. Since the fish kill — and probably even before that — there have been calls to dredge the lagoon. It’s a solution that has been met with mixed response, with many suggesting the cost — in the millions — would be prohibitive. Brydon is described as a “jewel” of the City by many who stroll its banks and come to feed the resident waterfowl. From that perspective, there’s an argument to be made that it’s worth the money to preserve it in its best possible state. But rather than try to justify an immediate lump sum expenditure, perhaps it makes sense to start setting aside a bit of cash every year, with a plan to dredge once the funds are place. Of course, the longer it takes, the more work there will be to do and the more that work will cost.

Question

of the week

Should the City of Langley pay to dredge Brydon Lagoon?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Risk to water ignored they

It’s obvious the provincial government isn’t taking local water quality, the economy or ecosystems seriously. It was reported at a recent Okanagan Basin Water Board meeting that Victoria continues to provide insufficient money to keep invasive mussels from arriving in local lakes and bureaucrats have left a proposed protocol for blue green algae in limbo. When it comes to zebra and quagga mussels, funding three mobile stations searching boats at the Alberta border won’t cut it. “We are trying to put pressure on the provincial government to do more and have five (permanent) inspection stations,” said OBWB director Juliette Cunningham. “There is a cost if we don’t stop them (mussels) from arriving here.” They clog water intake pipes, pumps and boat motors. They also deplete food sources for fish and produce toxins that kill fish and birds and contaminate drinking water. In terms of blue green algae, the substance can impact beaches and water intakes. A protocol to handle the algae began being developed in 2013, and it was supposed to be released in the spring, but nothing has happened. “There’s a draft in place, sitting on the desk of the deputy minister of health,” said Anna Warwick Sears, OBWB executive director. With both the mussels and the algae, the lack of leadership from the provincial government means critical infrastructure is at risk as is public health and the economy. It’s time for the various government agencies involved to get with the program. – Vernon Morning Star

Spread the costs of No vote sent a clear transportation equitably among user groups message Editor: Congratulations to the 62 per cent who voted “No” on the transit plebiscite. Despite an un-level playing field, the electorate has sent a clear message to government. If Christy Clark has any urge to ignore the results and push an increase through anyway, she should remember that she could not even get elected in her own riding during the last provincial election. In fact, most of the mayors’ group should now be looking for other work. Never has there been a more blatant display of arrogance and disdain for the voters who elected them and who pay their salaries — promoting their own agenda and paying with taxpayer dollars. Being elected means working for the people’s agenda. That we can use an improved transit system is not in question, but changing how government operates is. Two main issues need to be resolved before a new transit program is created. First, the province has already tapped out the taxpayer — tax increases from numerous sources such as reduced income tax exemption, hydro rates after new meter installation, auto insurance, ferry rates, bridge tolls, medical premiums and more, are far above the inflation rate. In fact, these taxes are not included in the inflation rate and so increases to our costs of living are wildly distorted. And what are they doing with all the extra money, anyway? Second, traffic is not congested, it is saturated and it is as much engineered as it is

over-peopled. Consider the following: Creating bike lanes at the expense of vehicles (bike lanes should be elevated or out of the way instead of robbing road space), eliminating righthand turns and increasing intersection light intervals for many blocks to accommodate bikes, buses stopping in moving lanes instead of pull-outs, shutting down “fast” lanes during morning rush for centre median gardening or street sweeping (the rest of the world works on a 24-hour clock, so why not gardening?), permanent road closures, underused HOV lanes, over-installation of speed bumps and traffic circles, still building two-lane roads and bridges knowing that a million people are on the way and desynchronized traffic lights. And now they want to build road-level light rail and eliminate the Georgia Viaduct. As a former host of the 1986 Transportation Expo to showcase the world, maybe now is the time to bring back the rickshaw. Maybe transit and token fire dousing is not the real problem, because there is still a 38 per cent minority that wants to give government more and more control in spite of achieving results that would bankrupt any private organization. The term is called plutocracy (I wonder if that has anything to do with Pluto being way out there). Donald Trump has it right: “Why are we allowing government to do this?” RICHARD KEILL, LANGLEY

Editor: After watching the news recently, it is unfortunate that the region’s mayors and TransLink management still do not get the message. This was not a necessarily a vote against Lower Mainland citizens paying for regional transit, but it was a vote against giving TransLink more money and the misspending of that money. The mayors are more concerned about raising property taxes in their term of office rather than using this mechanism to fund current and long-term sustainable solutions to the region’s transportation issues. This self-interest —NIMTOO (Not In My Term of Office) — thinking over the past 30 or more years has created many of today’s problems with Lower Mainland regional transportation. TransLink should be abolished and its leadership removed and both replaced by a cost-effective organization that is accountable

Fill lagoon from Nicomekl Editor: Re: Brydon Lagoon fears resurface (The Times, July 10). The Nicomekl river being so close by, I do not see why it should be such a problem to supply the water necessary to top up the lagoon from it in times of need. I am sure that it can be done and it would not break the City’s bank. WOJCIECH OSTROWSKI LANGLEY

for its services and actions in providing those services. Regional transportation issues need to be addressed equitably and involve all who inhabit the region. Funding for schools, water, sewer are examples of regional costs shared at the property tax level. Whether we, as inhabitants of the region, use roads, rail, or sidewalks as we walk, cycle, ride buses, use SkyTrain and — yes — drive, the total cost of the infrastructure needs to be shared across the region by each one of us. An equitable sharing of these costs would be to have them identified as a bundle of total costs, as they exist now and what will be needed for the future. A “base” for this bundle of total costs would then assessed across the region against individual property taxes. Renters would pay the tax in the their rents. In addition, a user fee for each

service would be established so that users pay a fee for their direct use to maintain and sustain this infrastructure. For example, cyclists would pay an annual licensing fee to offset the cost of the building and maintaining bike lanes, transit users would pay for their use of the buses and SkyTrain, and drivers would pay for using road and bridge infrastructure by way of tolls. This would spread the cost and responsibility among all users and not benefit one group at the cost of another. Existing transit and like taxes and levies that are currently being collected at the pump and elsewhere would be reviewed and eliminated, as would similar taxes and levies collected in BC Hydro bills, the Carbon Tax, etc., and be replaced by this more direct, equitable and sustainable solution. GARY BRUSH LANGLEY TOWNSHIP

TWU’s Ontario court loss was appropriate Editor: It’s obvious people don’t want explanations in our attention deficient world. So, surrendering to this devolution in communication, I will try to keep this short and as near as possible to the 12-second attention span which studies show is about all people have anymore. Trinity Western University was in the news again recently for losing its court case in Ontario. And well it should have lost, because no religion — no beliefs system rooted in ancient folklore — should trump human rights and dignity.

It’s time religion stops getting the levels of deference that it does in any modern society. The best way to do that is to stop giving churches and other religious institutions tax free status. It is ridiculous and suicidal for any modern society to fund those very organizations which promote the repression of others, from gays to woman, and consign them to the role of second-class citizens.

Richard Bulpitt Park opens L O NG-TIM E E DU CATOR MA DE A LAS TING I MPRES SION O N LANGL EY EDUCATION SY STEM Richard Bulpitt Park was officially opened by Township of Langley Council and members of the Bulpitt family at 20965 – 77A Ave. on July 8. A teacher, principal, and administrator with the Langley School District for 35 years, Bulpitt made a lasting impression on Langley’s education system and in the community as a whole. “He didn’t just teach students arithmetic and how to read and write,” said Mayor Jack Froese. “He taught them the value and the importance of having an education.” Born in England in 1943, Bulpitt was a sports enthusiast who was active in soccer, basketball, and track, and went on to coach locally. Bulpitt was a principal at Langley Fine Arts School, Belmont, Fort Langley, and Noel Booth Elementary schools before serving as Langley’s Superintendent of Schools from 1996 to 2001. The father of five children and grandfather of 17, along with his wife Valerie served as missionaries, based in Hong Kong, where they supervised welfare projects throughout Asia.

Family and friends of longtime Langley educator Richard Bulpitt gathered with members of Township of Langley Council on July 8 to officially open a new Willoughby park in Bulpitt’s honour. Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese, Richard Bulpitt’s wife Valerie, and Richard Bulpitt Elementary School Student Aakaansh Kapoor cut the ribbon to officially open the park. It was during a trip to Hanoi, Vietnam in 2007, that Bulpitt suffered a fatal heart attack. Richard Bulpitt Park includes two sand turf soccer fields, a baseball backstop, a

trail for cyclists and pedestrians, and a children’s play area. It shares a parking lot and washroom with the adjacent Richard Bulpitt Elementary School, which opened in September, 2013.

“I know people of all ages will get a lot of enjoyment out of Richard Bulpitt Park for years to come, and that Richard’s name and memory will live on for generations,” Mayor Froese said.

Teen’s ride for Rwanda raises $18,000 to improve education D AN F ERGUSO N Lang l ey Ti m e s

route that began at Derby Reach park? As it turned out the answer was yes on all counts. “I’m very happy,” a pleased Rachel said as 57 riders prepared to begin the Saturday morning ride. On the day of the event, more than $18,000 in donations had come in, and more was expected. Her father Mark said the results “exceeded our wildest expectations.” “We are so proud of our girl,” Mark told The Times. “She did an amazing job right from the initial planning meet-

Rachel Fitz had a little trouble sleeping the night before her second fundraiser for Rwanda. The 13-year-old from Surrey had a lot to think about. Would the turnout for the ride in Langley be better than the first year when eight riders took part in the kids-only fundraiser for Wellspring Foundation’s efforts to improve education in the central-African nation. Would the event raise more than the $5,000 it brought in last year? Would there be enough volunteers to guide the riders on the

ings, to handwriting 24 thankyou cards to all the volunteers, to an unrehearsed speech thanking the riders, volunteers, donors and key organizers.” Rachel and her family lived in Rwanda for three years, doing missionary work. The poverty, especially among the children, made a lasting impression. And after she volunteered at Wellspring’s Lake2Lake ride in the Okanagan, she had an idea. “We should do a kids’ ride,” she said. Plans are already underway for next year’s ride. - with files from Black Press

Yes The B.C. legislature is back in session this week, a rare summer sitting to approve a 25-year project agreement for the first large-scale liquefied natural gas project in northern B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong released the lengthy legal agreement prior to the debate, saying this step should remove any doubt that an international investment group led by Petronas of Malaysia intends to go ahead. With billions invested in upstream resources and buyers waiting at home, the Pacific Northwest LNG group includes Chinese state corporation Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp., Japan Petroleum Exploration Corp. and Petroleum Brunei. The most contentious issue is the government’s intention to protect the investors from “discriminatory” tax and regulations for the life of the project. The government insists these sorts of long-term cost certainty agreements are commonplace, and don’t affect provincial and federal taxes or environmental regulations unless they single out LNG operations. Future governments can raise corporate tax rates, carbon tax or enter into a cap and trade system. Ottawa can scrap capital cost allowances that were recently extended to LNG producers, which is significant because Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has indicated he would get rid of what he calls subsidies to fossil fuels. Both the province and Ottawa allow capital cost write-offs

Air quality advisory lifted, for now JEF F N AGE L Bl ack Pre s s

An air quality advisory for Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley due to wildfire smoke blowing into the region has been lifted. Lower Mainland residents are breathing easier because of more favourable wind conditions from a change in the weather pattern. “We’ve seen wind coming from a cleaner direction,” said Julie Saxton, an air quality planner for Metro Vancouver. “That wind has been quite strong in places. That has brought us some cleaner air and helped move the smoke out of our area.” The advisory was first issued on July 4 for Metro Vancouver and unprecedented levels of fine particulate three to four times the region’s objective were measured at several test stations over the initial 24 hours.

“This has been a very unusual and difficult week for everybody here,” Saxton said. “The concentrations of fine particulate matter we saw, especially in the early part of the week on Sunday and Monday, were among the highest I’ve ever seen for this area.” Saxton said the arrival of cloud and cooler temperatures by Friday helped stop the generation of ground-level ozone, which is caused when nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (from vehicle emissions, solvents and vegetation) react in sunlight on hot days. It’s impossible to say whether the smoke will be back in the days ahead, Saxton said, noting wildfire activity and wind direction are both unpredictable. Residents can get real-time data on air quality and short-term forecasts online at bcairquality.ca or airmap.ca.

A record number of participants will take part in the fourth annual Prospera Valley GranFondo. “We are super close to selling out,” said event director Marc Campbell on Tuesday morning. The fourth annual mass cycling event begins and ends at the Fort Langley Historical Site on Sunday (July 19) with all of the riders departing at 7 a.m. The ride was soldout in 2014 with 1,200 riders and the maximum for this year’s event is 1,500. The GranFondo offers three distances: the 50-km PrestoFondo, the 88-km MedioFondo and the 160-km GranFondo. The latter route takes cyclists from Fort Langley south through Langley’s country roads, along Zero Avenue, along Sumas Prairie, up and over Sumas Mountain and back to Fort Langley along the Matsqui Flats and through Glen Valley along the

The event is operated by Canadian Velo Events Management Society, a non-profit society devoted to creating cycling events that are accessible within the Fraser Valley. The money raised will be split among the ride’s charitable partners, Cycling BCs iRide program, Devo and Bridge the Gap.

Farm market events to draw attention to growers’ plight ‘RAIN DANCE’, ACTIVITIES PLANNED TO HIGHLIGHT IMPORTANCE OF WATER CONSERVATION Farmers are looking to the sky — and to dancers — to lend a hand with their crops. Growers concerned by recent drought conditions are organizing a rain dance to highlight the important role of water in growing crops. The public is invited to join farmers at the Langley Community Farmers Market today (Wednesday, July 15) at 3 p.m., to take part in a rain dance and to participate in water conservation awareness activities. The market takes place on each Wednesday, from 2 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Langley campus at Glover Road and the Bypass. Farmers will lead a rendition of Singing in the Rain at 3 p.m. Throughout the afternoon the Langley Environmental Partners Society will be on hand with water conservation tips and activities. Children can make raindrops to take home or to give to farmers at the market. “We see the dry conditions impacting farmers across the province,” said Paige Dampier, co-chair of the Langley Community Farmers Market Society. “For farmers with limited water access, this creates stress as their crops are impacted. Other growers are challenged by the erratic timing of pests and harvesting, given the intense heat we have been experiencing.”

Water conservation is important across the region for farmers and city dwellers alike. Metro Vancouver reservoirs are low and indications are that 2015

will continue to be a hot, dry summer. While the market society wants to raise awareness around water and agriculture, the intention for the day is

to have fun. “Bring your umbrella to the market — whether for rain or as a parasol — and show your local farmers some support,” said Dampier.

Do you have a creative idea on how to increase the value of property you own? You may need to “rezone” to allow, say, a small apartment building in a part of town currently zoned only for single family dwellings. This means you’d have to apply to city hall to change the use you’re allowed to make of the land on which you plan to build.

In this case, a developer basically wanted to swap properties. It needed a development permit for a new affordable housing project on its own property. It would then swap that property for the city-owned property across the street, which it needed rezoned so it could build a new residential tower there.

ALDY L E AL D Y UNC

You & The Law

PRESENTS Want to rezone? Know the rules.

Long gone are the days when you could do pretty much whatever you want on your own land. Land use is tightly regulated by official community plans and zoning by-laws, and proposed developments are often opposed by affected neighbours. But our B.C. Court of Appeal recently made clear that, if you know and follow the rules, your rezoning proposal can succeed – despite the often vocal objections of “not in my back yard” (NIMBY) opponents.

www.AldergroveFair.ca

July 17 - 19,

A newly formed community association tried to set aside the rezoning and development permit. It argued the process the city followed was flawed – that the public hearing held by the city for the rezoning should have given more and clearer information, not only about the property to be rezoned, but also about the land swap and proposed new housing project (adding 75 more social housing units to the area), which the city got in exchange.

Some people were concerned property values would drop due to the increase in social housing and some wanted a nearby park expanded instead. The appeal court emphasized that the rules only call for a public hearing for a rezoning (and the property being rezoned). They don’t call for a public hearing on development permits, for which there are separate rules, nor for the how the city buys, sells or exchanges property as part of managing its business. Here, the city had put on its website all relevant information the council had in front of it for its rezoning decision – so the public could contribute well-informed and meaningful input on the rezoning. In fact, the city had done more than the rules required. It set out not only what it received from the developer in return, but also explained key aspects of the proposed new affordable housing project, which needed no public hearing or input. The court said that for some things the city does, the city has to act “quasijudicially” and is accountable to the courts, but said there was no fault with the public process here. For other functions like the land swap, there are good reasons why the rules are different and the city is only accountable to public opinion, at the ballot box come voting time. Planning to rezone or subdivide? It’s technical, so get good legal help early. Written by Janice and George Mucalov, LL.B.s with contribution by Milne Selkirk.

Township of Langley Officially Age-Friendly TOW NSHIP O F L A N G L E Y

magine a place where senior citizens can live life to the fullest, be active and healthy, feel safe and supported, and stay connected with their community. The Township of Langley is well on its way to becoming that place. On June 10, the Province of British Columbia formally recognized the Township as an Age-friendly Community, a designation the Township first sought in 2013 to show its commitment towards ensuring aging members of the community are able to thrive in the years to come. As well, the Age-friendly Strategy developed by the Township to make that commitment a reality will be presented with an Award for Planning Excellence Merit from the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP) on June 29. The award honours planning projects based on their excellence, innovation, impact on the profession, implementation potential, and overall presentation. “A lot of hard work and solid planning has gone into

our Age-friendly Strategy, and we are very grateful to our Seniors Advisory Committee and the Age-friendly Task Force for everything they contributed to develop this plan,” said Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese. The Strategy was created to ensure that proper housing and transportation options, services, and programs are in place to help seniors experience a great quality of life in the future, as people are living longer and doing more in their later years. The Seniors Advisory Committee set about holding workshops, gathering ideas, and suggesting policies and practices. The Age-friendly Strategy was developed with input from the members of the community, partner agencies, stakeholders, and the Township’s Youth Advisory Committee, which offered an intergenerational perspective. The Strategy outlines clear, simple actions and easy to follow ideas that were praised by the Canadian Institute of Planners, which noted that other communi-

ties could use the Township’s ideas to start becoming age-friendly as well. “Receiving official designation as an Age-friendly Community from the Province is a great step forward and people of all ages will benefit from the results,” said Froese. The Age-friendly BC Recognition Program is a partnership between the BC Healthy Communities Society and the Ministry of Health. To

achieve recognition, communities must establish an age-friendly advisory or steering committee, pass a Council resolution, conduct an age-friendly assessment, and develop and publish an action plan. The Township is currently working with its Seniors Advisory Committee to implement the suggestions outlined in the Strategy. “We have a great plan,” Fro-

What is an age-friendly community?

n an age-friendly community, the policies, services and structures related to the physical and social environment are designed to

help seniors “age actively.” In other words, the community is set up to help seniors live safely, enjoy good health and stay involved.

For example, in an age-friendly community: • sidewalks are well lit and kept in good shape. • buildings have automatic door openers and elevators. • seniors take part in all sorts of community activities, such as visiting museums or libraries, taking courses or volunteering for charities or civic duties.

We don’t have to take care of anything here. Except each other.

An age-friendly community: • recognizes that seniors have a wide range of skills and abilities. • understands and meets the age-related needs of seniors. • respects the decisions and lifestyle choices of seniors. • protects those seniors who are vulnerable. • recognizes that seniors have a lot to offer their community. • recognizes how important it is to include seniors in all areas of community life.

Sunridge Gardens is a community for seniors who want to stay active, live independently, and have fun with their friends and families every day.

You’ll like living here!

Happy days are here again M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Times Reporter

Remember the good ol’ days of drivein movies, sock hops, duck tails and poodle skirts? Going for a cherry Coke in a cool car? Langley’s Sandy Dunkley sure does, and she’s bringing back those ‘happy days’ for one memorable evening in September. And it’s all for a good cause. Baby Boomers and wannabe Baby Boomers are invited to the first annual Ron Dunkley Memorial Society’s Happy Days Are Here Again event on Sunday, Sept. 27 at the Twilight Drive-In movie theatre. Dunkley has rented out the drivein and is hoping to fill the place with classic cars and people dressed up in their best 1960s outfits, ready to dance and laugh. The night will begin with a sock hop and dance contest, while the young and young at heart jive, twist and stroll to the classic rock of Liquid Courage. Prizes will be given to the best jive, best stroll and more. Following the dance in the parking lot, two movies will be played: Back To the Beach, featuring Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello, followed by Rebel Without a Cause, featuring James Dean, Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo. A ’60s style concession will be open to serve burgers, fries, sodas and popcorn, all included in the ticket price. All proceeds will support the Ambulance Paramedics of B.C. with proceeds going to the Honour House,

a temporary home located in New Westminster for all emergency services and veterans and their families to use free of charge, while they travel to receive medical care. “Ronny was a huge ’50s/’60s music fan. He had the whole Beach Boy collection of music,” said Dunkley about her son who died in a Seattle hospital in January 2011, two months after being hit by a train. He was 34. Sandy has since created the Ron Dunkley Memorial Society, a charitable foundation raising funds for a number of causes, including the B.C. Professional Firefighters Burn Fund, Honour House, Muscular Dystrophy Foundation and Canadian Blood Services. A blood drive has been held in Ron’s name each year since 2011 at his Langley City fire hall. The motto: One life touches many. “Ronny would love this event. I just feel like he’ll be there, too. It’s just an all around fun thing to be a part of,” she said. “Ron also loved Happy Days, and doo wop music.” He was a big James Dean fan as well, so showing the movie Rebel Without a Cause is special for the Dunkleys. Up to 400 cars-full can attend the event. Considering this ’60s-style event is taking place one weekend after the Langley Good Times Cruise-In, Dunkley is hoping owners of classic cars will bring their shiny rides to her event. Cruise-In used to have a Friday night cruise to the drive-in. Dunkley has a ’59 Ford Fairlane, which she will have at the event. There

will be a prize for best car, too. Tickets will be available beginning Aug. 1. They will be $50 for a car and two people or $100 for car with four people. Single person at the gate is $25. The ticket includes theatre admission, movies, sock hop, concession gift certificate, door prizes and prizes for best dances, best classic car and best ’50s - ’60s costume.

Tickets will be sold at the Langley Good Times Cruise-In, which is taking place the weekend before. Tickets can also be purchased at ABC Freedom Arts, and at the Langley Times office. For more information go to the Ron Dunkley Memorial Society website: rdms.com or contact Sandy Dunkley at 604-866-2873.

Golfer set to tee off for Canada G A RY A HUJA Time s Spo rts

DAN FER GUSON L an gley Time s

Langley’s Lucas Ly is representing Canada at a pair of events in the United States this month. The seven-year-old has been golfing for less than a year and already has five wins —and a hole-in-one —on his resume.

Less than a year into his new sport and Lucas Ly is already going places. The seven-year-old Langley boy — who already has five first place trophies, two second place finishes, a bronze and a hole-in-one on his resume— is representing Canada at a pair of prestigious international golf events this month. He warmed up for the events by winning a tournament on Monday at Greenacres Golf Course in Richmond, finishing his round at even par. Ly, who plays in the Optimist Junior Linkster Tour, the CJGA Junior Linkster Tour and the Maple Leaf Junior Tour, leaves on Friday for the Veritas World Junior event in California. The event runs July 21 to 23 and Ly will then head to North Carolina for the U.S. Kids World Junior championship, which goes July 30 to Aug. 1 at Pinehurst Golf Course in North Carolina. But despite playing in a pair of high profile tournaments, Ly said he doesn’t really get nervous. “I am just excited to play for Canada,” he said. The soon-to-be Grade 2 student at Gordon Greenwood Elementary says his putting is the best part of his game and he enjoys golf as it gives him a chance to be outside. As for favourite golfer, Ly lists Rory McIlroy, a 26-year-old from Northern Ireland who has won four major golf championships and 18 events overall in his career. McIlroy is also currently ranked No. 1 in the world. “Because he wins a lot of tournaments,” Ly said.

Vollhoffer crowned national bodybuilding champ GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts

“It really is 14 grueling weeks of hard work for five minutes, so you better be on.” Those are the words of Gary Vollhoffer and he surely enjoyed the results of those five minutes. On Saturday night, the 55-year-old Langley man was crowned champion at the 2015 Canadian Bodybuilding Federation championships. Vollhoffer took top spot in the men’s grandmasters (55+) division. And his introduction to the sport of competitive bodybuilding happened by chance a few years ago. Vollhoffer had always been active, playing junior football for the Langley Rams — they were in Surrey back then — three decades ago and even representing Canada at the world ball hockey championships just four years ago. But the constant pounding of hockey was taking its toll on his knees. “I actually entered an online contest to win a trip to Hawaii,” he explained about the body transformation contest. “That’s how it started; I was fat and out of shape and looking at something on the internet and decided to give it a shot.” This is Vollhoffer’s second year in the sport and back in May, he won both the grandmaster category (50+) and the masters (40+) open division at the B.C. Bodybuilding championships. For the Canadian championships, Voll-

LEC bids on world lacrosse finals

The world championships could be coming to Langley. The Langley Events Centre is bidding on hosting the 2019 Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) world indoor lacrosse championships. After a nation-wide call for bids, the LEC won the right to be Canada’s host selection. “We are pleased to support the bid to host the WILC in Canada, especially in a hotbed of box lacrosse like Langley,” said Joey Harris, president of the Canadian Lacrosse Association. “We have every confidence in Langley and the LEC in their ability to put on a world-class event.”

Canada last hosted the event in 2007. “This event will feature the best lacrosse playing nations in a true showcase of the sport and will be a unique event to showcase in our community,” said Jared Harman, the director of business development for the LEC. The world championships are hosted every four years with this year’s tournament set for Sept. 18 to 26 in Syracuse, NY. Canada is the defending champion and 13 countries are taking part. A decision is scheduled to be made by the FIL’s selection committee in the fall.

Bantam Thunder fall short in bronze medal match The Langley Thunder bantam girls team was on the wrong end of a 5-4 score in the bronze medal game against the host Port Coquitlam squad at the B.C. provincial box lacrosse championships. The championships were held July 8 to 12. Langley’s Marah Baker picked up the War-

rior Fair Play Award for her team while Fiona Briner was named an all-star. Langley also had three teams competing at the peewee provincial championships in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows from July 8 to 12. The Thunder’s Aidan Roy (A1), Trevor Nyland

(B) and Andrew Brown (C) earned their team’s respective Warrior Fair Play Awards and coach Kris Potter of the Langley C team won the Fair Play coaching award. Lleyton Shearon (A1), Sean Wade (B) and Noah Pakter (C) were named tournament all-stars.
