Terry Fox Run participants begin the 35th annual fundraiser for cancer research in Langley City on Sunday morning. Despite the wet and windy weather, attendance and donations were up. There were 203 participants registered and $9,000 was raised.

A 40-year-old Langley man is accused of orchestrating targeted attacks against staff and students at the Justice Institute of B.C. After a complicated fouryear investigation, Vincent Eric Gia-Hwa Cheung was arrested on Friday, Sept. 18. A rural property on 267 Street in Aldergrove was also being combed over by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFESU) that same day. Between April 2011 and January 2012, 15 people were targeted in a series of offences, which occurred in multiple jurisdictions, including Surrey, Rich-

mond and West Vancouver. Their homes, vehicles, and property were the subject of shootings and arsons. In July 2011, the Justice Institute, which trains law enforcement and other officers, received a threatening email. The message referenced nine staff and students at the institute, located in New Westminster. All but one of those individuals had their homes or vehicles targeted. The motive was unknown at the time and police weren’t divulging motive at a press conference on Monday. However, Cheung is alleged to have possible gang ties. Continued Page 7

Wider 208 mixes public-private funding OVERPASS, FARMLAND-ADJACENT STRETCHES OF ROAD F OC US OF T OW NSH IP PL AN D AN FERGU SO N Lan g l ey Ti m e s

A plan that would speed up the widening of congested 208 street in Langley will see the Township directly fund work on two sections where the road runs next to protected farmland and where it crosses the freeway. Private developers have been funding the widening work on 208 a piece at a time as they build new housing along the congested Willoughby route, but that strategy

can’t be applied to the construction of a second two-lane overpass across Highway 1, or to the Willowbrook connector between 64 Avenue and 68 Avenue that runs next to the Agricultural Land Reserve. With approval of the new plan by council, work on those two sections could begin within three years. The new overpass, currently being designed by engineering staff, will be considered for funding in the 2016 and 2017 budgets.

The Willowbrook connector will be considered for the 2017 budget. The current approach of using private builders to widen the rest of 208 will be reviewed in three years. By then, the widening of 208 Street from 76 Avenue to Highway 1 should be completed. Widening 208 between 72 and 76 Avenues is expected to take five or more years. The road will become four lanes from Willowbrook to Highway 1, going to six

lanes where traffic is expected to be especially heavy. The road currently handles 15,000 to 22,000 vehicles a day, close to the limit of 25,000 for a two-lane road. The Sept. 14 vote to endorse the plan was unanimous (with councillor David Davis absent). Editor’s note: a previous Times report incorrectly suggested the entire 208 Streeet plan would be fast-tracked, using direct funding through DCCs.

Volunteer project takes flight MIRAN D A GAT H E R C O L E Ti me s Re po r te r

There was a rumble of excitement at the Canadian Museum of Flight Friday morning as four volunteers were sent off to Airdrome Aeroplanes in Holdren, Missouri. Sam Beljanski, Ray Sessenden, Al MacDonald and Steve Chamberlain will have two weeks in the U.S. to learn everything there is to know about assembling a replica Sopwith Pup biplane. The team, along with 25 other Museum of Flight volunteers, will build two replicas of the First World War fighter planes to be used in a flyover ceremony in France during the 100th anniversary celebrations of the Battle of Vimy Ridge in April, 2017. The project, Wings of Courage, is the second installment of the education program, A Nation Soars — Commemorating Canada’s Great War Flyers. After flying through French skies, the pilots will return home for a Canadian tour, where they will stop at schools and events throughout the country to teach Canadian aviation history in the First World War. Part of this includes celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday in Ottawa on July 1, 2017. The final resting place for the planes will be back at the Canadian Museum of Flight in Langley. “It’s exciting,” said Dave Arnold, vice president of the Canadian Museum of Flight. “I’m a pilot, I love the museum and having these two aircraft will be a feather in our cap.” During the flyover, the two Sopwith Pup biplanes will be joined by a trio of Nieuport 11s, smaller fighter planes from the same era.

Walnut Grove plant exceeds Langley noise limits: report TOWNSHIP STAFF REPORT SAYS INITIAL TESTS SHOW LHOIST PLANT ROUGHLY DOUBLE THE PERMITTED MAXIMUM AT FOUR LOCATIONS DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

mineral processing plant was over the maximum allowed noise levels. The tests were carried out in response to complaints by several residents living in the area of the Lhoist plant near 203 Street and 102B Avenue, who filed a petition with the Township. The residents told the Township the noise from the plant was a nuisance. “The noise emanating from the kiln fan and other equipment can be heard day and night,” the petition stated. An unsigned memo to Township council by the community development division said noise measurements were carried out at eight locations near the plant on the evening of Aug. 24. The tests showed levels were roughly double the maximum allowed limit of 60 decibels (between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.) at four sites, which measured between 67 and 70 decibels. According to an online comparison chart posted by Purdue university, 70 decibels is

twice as loud as 60 decibels. At 60 decibels, the chart rates noise as “fairly quiet.” That is defined as the level of a conversation in a restaurant, background music or an air conditioning unit at a distance of 100 feet. At 70 decibels, noise is considered equal to radio and television audio or a vacuum cleaner. Two sites about a block away from the Lhoist plant measured less than 40 decibels. The Purdue chart calls that level the “lowest limit of urban ambient sound,” describing it as the equivalent of a library or bird call. The Aug. 27 memo to council suggested it was the type of noise, not the volume that is the problem, pointing to the “harmonic sound” produced by the kiln. Staff “suspect any works done to bring the noise levels to 60 DB after 10 p.m. will not change the sound being complained about …” the memo said. More tests may be

needed and the company may have to hire a sound consultant to get the noise levels below the nighttime limit, the memo added. The website for the Lhoist Group, describes the owner of the Walnut Grove plant as a “global leader in lime, dolime and minerals” headquartered in Belgium, with 6,000 employees in 25 countries with more than 90 facilities. A query to Lhoist headquarters from The Times had not produced a response by press time. A statement on the company website says the Lhoist Group “attaches great importance to respecting both the people and the environment surrounding the sites where we mine and process minerals. Our objective is to always behave like good citizens. “We understand that we must embrace our responsibility to respect the environment and the communities in the vicinities of our operations.”

Non-resident fees for rec centre debated at council PROPOSAL WOULD HAVE RESIDENTS FROM OUTSIDE TOWNSHIP PAY EXTRA TO USE ALDERGROVE FACILITY D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

A proposal that would see the Township of Langley charge non-residents extra to use the new Aldergrove pool got a cautious reception from council Monday afternoon. The idea was presented by councillor Angie Quaale, who said non-residents currently pay the same fees to use Langley recreational facilities as Township residents, but don’t contribute to their operation by paying property taxes. Quaale wanted to have Township staff investigate a twotiered fee structure for the under-construction Aldergrove L an gley Tim es file ph oto facility and report back to council.

Last year the Langley winery collected two tonnes of grapes. This year, there were five tonnes, all without fungus. Lots of B.C. winemakers are predicting this could be one of the best years for this province’s wine.

Whether it will be the vintage of the century remains to be tasted, but this long and hot summer made for some happy wine grapes, said Backyard Vineyards winemaker James Cambridge. At Backyard Vineyards in Langley, harvest came three to four weeks early, with pickers rushing to pluck all the grapes off the vines last Wednesday and Thursday. “The grapes ripened faster this year,” said Cambridge, who comes to Langley from the Okanagan where he worked at several respected wineries,

Sixteen rescued horses to be put up for adoption

M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

Hold your horses — and llamas and ducks, too. The B.C. SPCA will host a farm animal adoptathon from noon to 4 p.m. on Sept. 26 at its Surrey location. All of the animals on auction, including 16 horses, are looking for safe homes after being seized by the SPCA as part of an animal cruelty investigation. On Aug. 11, SPCA officers seized 57 animals from a Surrey property. Among them were a number of starving and neglected horses. The woman who owned the farm is facing possible animal cruelty charges. The horses have received intensive care during the past month as they recovered from malnutri-

tion and other medical issues. They are ready to be adopted. “These animals were in serious distress when we took them into our care and we would love to see them adopted by wonderful new guardians who will ensure that they live the rest of their lives free from suffering and pain,” said BC SPCA Const. Eileen Drever. In addition to the horses available for adoption, the BC SPCA farm is housing llamas, ducks, chickens, geese, a donkey and a goat, which are also looking for new homes. The horses will be available for viewing at the adopt-a-thon and applications will be accepted, along with a sealed bid. The adopt-a-thon will takes place from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 26 at the BC SPCA’s Surrey location at 16748 50 Ave.

Lacey, a two-year-old cremello Pinto filly rescued by the SPCA in an animal cruelty investigation in August, is among 16 horses that will be up for adoption on Sept. 26. She is described as a gentle animal with strict dietary restrictions.

The investigation established that an ICBC employee had queried the 15 victims’ licence plates which provided their personal details, including home addresses. When ICBC discovered the privacy breach in 2011, they said they fired the female employee. In January 2012, the investigation advanced after three suspects connected to an arson in Surrey were identified. Interviews with the suspects enabled police to identify the alleged contractor of that arson.

Investigators reconnected with all the victims to ensure adequate safety plans were in place. “We know there are still people who have additional information about these offences and this investigation is continuing, with further arrests and charges anticipated,” said the CFSEU-BC’s Chief Officer Kevin Hackett. “The investigation was complicated and made even more challenging by the efforts of the accused to disguise their intent through cunning and calculated misdirection. “These past four and a half years have been difficult for the victims and their families and their co-operation and support has been appreciated.” Cheung is charged with 19 counts of intentionally or recklessly causing damage by fire or explosion to homes and vehicles. Four counts of intentionally discharging a firearm into or at a place or vehicle knowing that, or being reckless as to whether, another person is present in that dwelling.

So it’s been raining buckets lately and it looks as though the water conservation restrictions currently in effect in the Lower Mainland might be loosened. Even if they aren’t, it likely means at least a temporary end to brown lawns, brittle trees and out-ofcontrol forest fires. But does it mean a return to unattended sprinklers soaking already-damp lawns, 90-minute showers and power-washing marathons? Probably not, because next spring and summer could be even worse. Long-range forecasts suggest we will have an unusually warm and dry winter, followed by another unusually hot summer. That means another drought, this time with even less water on the mountains and less rain in the sky to supply a thirsty Metro Vancouver. It also means less water soaking into the ground to replenish the groundwater that feeds the many wells in Langley. People who use well water are exempt from the mandatory water restrictions imposed on people who get their H20 from municipal pipelines, but when the municipality announced limits on consumption, it noted the municipality draws on well water as well as the Metro system and included a plea to “all property owners to be good environmental stewards and follow the water use restrictions.” They really should. Consider the cautionary tale of the Gulf Islands during this year’s epic drought. After two-and-a-half months of extreme heat and low rainfall, some island wells bottomed out, forcing people to bring water in from Vancouver Island by truck, paying hundreds of dollars for each tanker load. Some have installed storage tanks holding thousands of litres. While Langley is far less likely to exhaust its groundwater supply, the amount of water in the ground is not infinite, either. We don’t know exactly how much hot, dry weather it would take before wells begin to dry up, and rather than find out, we suggest it would be easier to simply follow the same restrictions everyone else does.

Question

of the week

Do you think the recent increase in B.C.’s minimum wage from $10.25 to $10.45/hour goes far enough?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Crashing the party they

News earlier this month that Green Party of Canada leader Elizabeth May would use Twitter to participate, in real time, in the recent federal leaders debate on the economy — an event she wasn’t invited to attend — got us thinking about how technology has drastically changed the way people communicate. Using various forms of social media for political reasons is only one way people have used these and other tools to reach the masses. We’ve seen charitable organizations undertake fundraising campaigns to tap into the multitudes of people online at any given time. In a similar vein, individuals raising money for all manner of ventures, both business and personal, have achieved success through crowdfunding. Both of those examples illustrate a broadening of the conversation around whatever cause for which the funds are being raised. From a news perspective, social media has given us a larger window on the world, as people post alternative-sourced stories rather than solely relying on our traditional outlets. On a more personal level, students overseas are easily able to take university level courses, thus participating in a global learning environment. We were struck this week at how China-based alumni from Royal Roads University, many of whom had never been to the Colwood campus, enjoyed face-to-face discussions with local grads during the school’s Global Alumni Weekend. May’s example is the latest to show how technology has allowed us all to “crash the party” without even being there. — Goldstream Gazette

Close section of 56 to heavy trucks Editor: I asked City Hall over a month ago to close 56 Avenue west of 200 Street to heavy trucks — no reply yet. People living along 56 Ave east of 200 Street do not have that problem, so I guess people living west of 200 Street should have the same right to live in peace. The only exception should be made to heavy trucks entering and leaving Burnco Landscape, located at 56 Avenue and 198 Street. All the other businesses can be accessed from Production Way or the industrial section of 198 Street (north of 56 Avenue). The section of 56 Avenue between 200 and 196 Streets became very residential recently. It is very annoying and simply insulting to watch and hear truck driving schools operating there seven days a week. JERZY RUDOWSKI, LANGLEY

A case of Canada’s ‘loss of democracy’ Editor: My mom was born in Russia into a Mennonite culture. During the civil war period from about 1918-1929 many of the pacifist Mennonites formed a self-defense militia against government forces to avoid getting slaughtered. Mom’s family left Russia in 1929 for fear of reprisals. José Figueroa is still living in the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church because of a deportation warrant issued in October 2013, by the Canada Border Services Agency for being a terrorist. On July 10, 2014 a federal court judge declared José was not a terrorist and demanded that Citizenship and Immigration Canada restart his permanent resident application. A call to a friend who works at CIC confirmed that invariably they comply with the federal court orders. A call to CBSA confirmed that in all cases they cancel a deportation order with such a federal court order. But neither was done. If José is a terrorist, then so were many Mennonites. A meeting with Mark Warawa, my local Conservative member of Parliament, himself of Mennonite heritage, proved disappointing. Officially, Mark is on record as supporting José, but said that it’s a private matter and his meetings with others in government on the case are secret. Actually, it’s everybody’s business if the process of government is not just or democratic. There actually is an official terrorist list passed by Parliament. The intent is that CBSA use

Letter writer Ben Weins has been making inquiries on Figueroa’s behalf, but has been frustrated by the government’s lack of transparency. it, but they don’t. José’s name is not related to this list in any way. Individual agents pass judgment as they please with Gestapo-like powers. I’m inherently non-partisan. Political labels mean nothing. It’s the current thinking of leadership that counts. Justin Trudeau (Liberal), Tom Mulcair (NDP), Elizabeth May (Green) all warned about this loss of democracy

and lack of oversight with present Conservative policies on security. My own fear is that most Conservative policies are tilted in favour of the wealthy, powerful, and concentrated government leadership. This is flavouring government departments with the resulting loss of democracy. BEN WEINS, LANGLEY

Syrian crisis: Doing nothing is not an option From Page 8

Services to help all those people will be overwhelmed. And when all hope is stripped away, it can be replaced quickly by anger and hatred. Imagine millions of disenchanted refugees turning their frustration against governments and citizens. Widespread turmoil in Europe will fracture

global markets, including commerce here. Our NIMBYism won’t mean a thing. This clearly is a global issue, requiring the humanitarian, political and military efforts of all major countries, including Russia and China. Taking in refugees is only half the task. The other is to stabilize Syria. That means a global military ground force to eradicate ISIS, and

disassemble the battlefield. The only way the stream of refugees will be stemmed, and even reversed, is to make Syria livable again. And that’s going to take a tremendous amount of political willpower and, undoubtedly, some lives. Sitting back as detached observers is absolutely not an option. – Andrew Holota is editor of the Abbotsford News

A ‘mild rebuttal’ offered Editor: While I support Mr. Kydd’s right to his opinions ( Taking Credit? Take responsibility’ The Times, Sept. 16), I feel I have to offer a mild rebuttal. About six years ago I sent letters to Mr. Warawa and Mr. Coleman regarding some federal infrastructure funding allocated for the expansion of the Aldergrove border crossing. My letters asked the question where did the money get spent as it was not for its intended purpose. Mr. Warawa responded immediately with a phone call and a follow up email, the gist of which indicated he was in contact with the appropriate federal officials for an answer. Nothing from Mr. Coleman, in spite of a follow up letter and two visits to his office in Aldergrove. Recently Mr. Warawa has been vocal regarding the upgrades at Aldergrove, Mr. Coleman, silent. Now it may be a bit of a stretch of Mr. Warawa to claim responsibility for the expansion taking into consideration the plans for the current design used to be on the Border Service web page dated 1991, but I am sure he was or is the only local politician that took the time to become involved, ergo his justification for his statements? TERRY BRENAN, ALDERGROVE

An attempt at satire? Editor: I am assuming that Larry Kydd’s letter headlined ‘Taking Credit? Take responsibility’ (The Times, Sept. 16) is a tongue-incheek attempt at satirical humour. I quote: “Mark’s policies have put us $113 billion further in the hole,” etc. etc. This makes me wonder if Mr. Kydd is, in fact, a Harper supporter. Is he protecting the prime minister by making Mark Warawa the fall guy for all the political rhetoric being slung at the Conservative Party? PAMELA G. OMELANIEC, LANGLEY

Transit, homelessness, crime top issues The Langley Times invited candidates in both the Langley-Aldergrove and Cloverdale-Langley City ridings to identify what they consider to be the top issues facing voters in the Langleys and to explain what they would do to address those concerns. Until Friday, Oct. 16, we will be publishing their answers — alternating ridings — each Wednesday and Friday. The order in which they will appear was selected in a random draw. In this issue, we hear from Scott Anderson, Green Party candidate for the riding of Cloverdale-Langley City.

‘O

ne area of politics that most voters can agree on is that Stephen Harper’s tyranny must end, so that Canada can return to some semblance of democratic rule. The only question is, “how?” As voters decide which non-Harper candidate to support, they should know that a Green Party MP places the interests of constituents ahead of party interests and is prepared to work with other parties for the betterment of Canada. For the people of Cloverdale–Langley City, three local issues will command my attention. TRANSIT One chronic problem that needs to be addressed is the lack of adequate public transit. For too long, Langley has been terra incognita as far as TransLink is concerned. We were supposed to have had a SkyTrain line years ago, but instead the politically expedient Millennium and Canada lines were built. The million or so people in the Fraser Valley have just as much right to decent commuter service as those living further west. As the MP for Cloverdale-Langley City I will work to secure federal funding for a light-rail line between Chilliwack and Surrey. A diesel train service every 20 to 30 minutes along the existing Interurban right of way would cost a mere

$500 million, including stations and cars. This compares to $2.4 billion for the Canada Line and $1.4 billion for the Evergreen Line. The tragedy for Cloverdale– Langley City residents is that the benefits of light rail are old news. In 2008, the Gordon Campbell government promised to release a major light-rail study, but that never happened. The Green Party will help put transit policy back on the rails. HOMELESSNESS Perhaps the saddest aspect of life in Canada is that not everyone has a place to live. As long as I can remember, downtown Langley City has had an acute homeless problem, and there is no sign of it getting better any time soon. Here, as in other cases of public welfare, much of the responsibility for this problem rests with the federal government, which has abandoned both financial and moral responsibility for those in need. Local agencies like churches have had to pick up the slack by default, but these can only do so much. If govern-

ments are elected by people, people should not expect governments to ignore them. Even the free-market economist Adam Smith recognized that a government has a moral obligation to care for people’s basic needs. As a first step, I would work with the provincial government to fund homeless shelters, both to provide safe housing and to take the load off churches. But any long-term solution must address the causes of homelessness, which include drug addiction and unemployment. Ideally, the shelters will provide temporary housing for people until they can support themselves. CRIME As I campaign, many people in Langley City express concerns about crime, such as prostitution, drug dealing and vandalism. Not only are these matters of criminality, but they also ruin public spaces for families and the general public. Because of the connection between crime and drug trafficking, increased police enforcement should be part of any comprehensive plan to reclaim our public spaces and improve community livability. Toward that end, I will work with mayor and council to strengthen policing and develop effective treatment programs. I became involved in politics to help my community. As the MP for Cloverdale-Langley City, I’ll do just that.

There’s nothing to satisfy all of the people over here on this side. We need more promotion to drive people to come out here. There’s not enough of that. Even our mall is pretty sad. People are always taking their business somewhere else. “Those would be the main concerns I have for running a business. This is a very small-based home business that I have, so for me the farmer’s market is fine. But I would like bigger events to drive people out here. Give them a reason to come out here and check out Langley. Spend their money on this side a little bit.”

Kids walk to school and there’s ditches right next to them and no sidewalks. “We need somebody that focuses their attention on family and kids. People who move out this way are families with kids because that’s what they can afford. “They have to come out all this way if they want a house with a decent sized backyard.

Balanced budgets– do they really matter? The federal election campaign has produced a jumble of conflicting claims about whether or not Canada has a balanced budget or a deficit, how it was determined, and

whether it even matters. The definitive word on this came out last week, with the release of the Government of Canada Annual Financial Report, signed off

by Auditor General Michael Ferguson. “The government posted a budgetary surplus of $1.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, compared to a budgetary

deficit of $5.2 billion in 2013-14,” the report says. “Revenues increased by $10.7 billion, or 3.9 per cent, from 2013-14, reflecting increases across all major reve-

nue streams. Program expenses increased by $5.2 billion, reflecting increases in major transfers to persons and other levels of government, offset in part by a decrease in

Help for the Loss of hearing is a completely debilitating experience that can adversely affect a person’s career, studies, and life in general. According to Dr. John Lin at Johns Hopskins University, early treatment is crucial in treating hearing loss. “There is still a perception among the public and many medical professionals that hearing loss is an inconsequential part of the aging process and you can’t do anything about it,” he said. “Understanding hearing loss treatment is important, as evidence is beginning to surface that hearing loss is associated with poorer cognitive functioning and the risk of dementia.” Finding the right hearing professional and hearing aids are instrumental in one’s healthy hearing journey, but getting started is often the hard part -- fortunately, that doesn’t have to be the case. Kim Galick, a licensed registered hearing instrument practitioner and owner of Ears Hearing Clinic in Langley has helped hundreds of people come to terms with their hearing loss and to choose the best solution in correcting their impairment - for their lifestyle Even family members who are affected by their

loved one’s hearing loss can benefit from this small clinic with a big heart. “Stephanie (our client care co-coordinator) and I take great pride with the service that we provide to our patients hearing health care needs and to their family members,” said Galick, who has been a registered hearing instrument specialist with the College of Speech and Hearing Professionals of B.C. for the past 20 years. “That’s what sets us apart from any other hearing clinic around!” Galick opened her family-run business – a fullservice audiology clinic providing free hearing tests and also provides hearing aids and hearing protection – on the corner of Langley’s historic Salt Lane and 56 Ave. three years ago. This past year, the clinic was voted ‘Favourite Hearing Clinic’ in the Langley Times. Prior to becoming an entrepreneur, the motherof-two worked at the same hearing clinic for 20 years. Any adult who is concerned about their hearing should be tested, according to Galick, who notes that tests are always complimentary at her clinic. “Depending on the outcome of the results – if person’s hearing is normal or possibly borderline

normal, we recommend bi-annual re-testing. If the test results show that there is hearing loss of some degree, we will discuss the concerns the client has about their hearing, and if a hearing aid is suitable, we will discuss all options available.” Hearing aids are not a commodity to be given to the clients and then sent out the door, adds Galick, who notes that it takes time for each person to get used to hearing aids and the hearing aids need adjustments as the clients slowly get used to wearing them. “This is generally done weekly and/or bi-weekly for the first few months and then once the client is comfortable with the hearing aids quarterly check-up appointments are schedule,” she said. “Customers will need continuous service for the life that they own their hearing aids.” And for anyone who has difficulty getting to appointments, Ears Hearing Langley is more than

happy to arrange transportation to their clinic. “It’s very difficult for some of our clients to make it into the office,” noted Galick. “Should someone fall into this category then we’ll either arrange a ‘Home Visit’ appointment or we can provide transportation to come and pick up the client for their appointment and then drive them back home.” While many avoid having a hearing exam or refrain from purchasing a hearing aid because of the expense, there are ways of receiving assistance. “There are many people out there who feel as though they cannot afford a hearing aid, but I encourage everyone with hearing concerns to come in and have their hearing evaluated, “said Galick.

You & The Law

PRESENTS Can you undo a child abduction by your spouse? Few things are more heart-wrenching for a parent than to have their child wrongfully taken by their spouse – sometimes even moved to a different country. There’s almost always a nasty fight afterwards. Can you get your child returned? Take heart. There’s help. A recent case decided by B.C.’s appeal court shows that the abduction can be undone and your child can be returned to his or her country of residence. That country’s courts can then deal with custody and access issues – like which parent your child is better off living with.

argued that Josh would be at serious risk of harm if returned to Montana. Pete disputed this. Carla also argued that a few days’ stay in Billings wasn’t enough to justify having to take her 3-year old son back to Montana. Ultimately, our appeal court said Carla had to return Josh to Montana within two weeks – a court there would sort out the custody and access issues afterwards. The law dealing with these situations is a treaty (international agreement) on international child abductions, called the Hague Convention. It’s signed by many countries, including Canada and the United States. One overriding objective of this treaty in child abduction cases is to help promptly return a wrongfully abducted child detained in another country.

Here, Carla (all names changed), a Canadian, married Pete, an American, in Alberta in 2010. The next year they had a child, Josh, in Alaska, then moved to live in Washington where Pete found work. In 2013, the family moved to Billings, Montana, when Pete was transferred there What mattered more here than Carla’s (and Josh’s) very short stay in Montana by his employer. was that both Pete and Carla had They intended to make Billings their intended for Billings to become their permanent residence. But the house they permanent residence when the family planned to move into wasn’t fit to live in. moved there – Josh of course was too So after a few days’ stay, Carla told Pete young to decide this for himself. she wanted to take little Josh and live at her parents’ place in Elko, B.C., while Pete Legally, Josh’s habitual place of residence was the United States, not Canada. So, got the house fixed. Pete was ok with in line with the treaty’s objectives, Josh that. Carla only took along a few clothes needed to be returned to Montana for and toys for Josh, consistent with a short a court there to deal with the domestic stay away. issues. But a few months later, things changed. Your family lawyer can help if your child is The marriage broke down.

Rivers Day celebration rolls into new location

From a bike valet and bug displays, to climbing walls and birdhouse building, there will be more to see, do, and explore when Rivers Day is held in a brand new location. The BC Rivers Day Community Festival, an annual celebration of water and nature, will take on a whole new look in a whole new place this year. The free, family-oriented event, which enhances understanding of the environment and spotlights our water resources, will be held Sunday, Sept. 27, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Derek Doubleday Arboretum. “For more than 25 years, the Township of Langley has been hosting the Rivers Day Festival so that people of all ages can learn how to keep our community green and healthy,” said Meaghan Norton Daniel, environmental co-ordinator with the Township. “This year, the festival will leave its traditional location at Williams Park for a new site at the Arboretum.

Guests are encouraged to bring their own reusable water containers for drinks, and a concession will be available for those who would like to purchase refreshments. The popular Upcycle Boat Build returns again this year, with participants invited to make creative and floatable boats and bring them to Rivers Day for a chance to win a $100 term deposit from Vancity. Contestants should use materials destined for their Blue Box — such as milk jugs, yogurt containers, meat trays, and pop bottles — to make their boats. Continued Page 17

“This is an amazing spot that is home to the Nicomekl River, lush natural habitat, trees and trails, and the Langley Demonstration Garden. It is the ideal location for this unique celebration.” The Derek Doubleday Arboretum is located in the 21200 block of Fraser Highway, and Norton Daniel is hoping the central location will make it easy for residents to stop in and explore. The area is flat and full of sturdy trails that offer access to those in wheelchairs or with strollers. Guests can park on site or at the nearby overflow lot at Langley Secondary School. A free community shuttle will transport visitors to the Rivers Day site every 15 minutes. As well, a bicycle valet will be offered to encourage residents to get to the festival using a mode of transportation that is good for their health and the environment.

From there we provide a fixed price. If we need to alter products or finishes to reach the desired fixed price then we do it all before construction starts.

They are unique in that they also have a custom millwork shop in house. This allows them to service the design, manufacturing and build phase of all projects. Having a custom millwork shop enables them to control the quality, delivery times and custom finishing of all renovations / new build construction.

Protect your home from possible water damage over the fall and winter Getting your home ready for the winter can be a bit time consuming unless you’re prepared to pay someone to do the work, but the beneÀts are deÀnitely worth the hassle. A house that is properly prepared for winter is one that will keep you warm and dry through the cold, wet months, and one that won’t generate expensive repair bills at the worst possible time… which is pretty much any time. Ed Cardenas of Wash Me Property Services specializes in helping people “winterize” their home with cleaning services for siding, gutters, windows and more, and he has some useful suggestions on how to make sure your home is winter ready this year. The starting point, says Cardenas, is to remember that water is your home’s enemy, and your job is to protect it from the wet stuff. If you do nothing else to get your home ready for the fall and winter rains, he offers, make sure your gutters are clean and in good repair. Start on the roof and work your way down, he suggests. Make sure moss and other debris is swept away. Do a chemical treatment on the moss if you prefer, but get the big clumps off the roof so they won’t roll into the gutters in the middle of a storm and plug the downspouts.

www.langleytimes.com The Langley Times Oh, and while you’re up there, check to see whether any of your roof’s shingles are missing or damaged. Now work your way down to the gutters and clean them. Free-running gutters should be your number one priority because clogged gutters mean water has the potential to cause damage. Just a note: when your gutters have reached the waterfall stage, it’s too late and damage is occurring. Cardenas says gutters should be cleaned at least once per year (twice if your property is surrounded by a lot of trees), preferably as soon as the last leaves have fallen. However, if you take a look at an easily accessible gutter now and see that there’s a lot of debris build-up, then they should be cleaned now before the heavy rains start. He adds gutter cleaning and repair is all about preventative maintenance, and doing the work can prevent rotting fascia or water wicking up under the shingles to seep into the house and so cause rot. “Water is a house’s worst enemy, and you need to ensure the systems installed to take it away are working properly.” Always thinking ahead when it comes to water, Cardenas suggests a good idea to get ready for next summer’s potential drought is to install rain barrels to catch some of that water so it can be put to use when restrictions are next imposed. It’s important to take care of the little things to ensure bigger headaches don’t crop up later. Hose bibs that aren’t going to be used should be shut off from inside of the house, and it doesn’t hurt to insulate them to prevent freezing. Also, any water pumps for fountains, ponds, etc. should be winterized. Now, while water damage caused by over owing gutters can be a big problem for

The green slime can be damaging and dangerous if left to do it’s thing on wood and concrete, so Cardenas suggests now is a good time to remove any algae accumulation by having the house washed, and concrete walks and driveways pressure washed. Any wood should be cleaned at least once every three years, to prevent paint deterioration or rot. Using proper soaps and algaecides should control the problem. After the gutters and siding, another fall cleaning task that a lot of people tackle is window cleaning. Cleaner windows, besides looking better, actually let in a lot more light during the winter months, which really brightens things up. Some other things Cardenas suggests you consider: 0DNH VXUH \RXU VWRUP drainage is clear 6WRUH WKH VXPPHU IXQ VWXff, like patio furniture, barbecues and tents, to prevent grime and mildew build-up 5DNH XS OHDYHV WR SUHYHQW ODZQ GDPDJH 3UXQH DQ\ YHJHWDWLRQ WKDW’s either rubbing up against the side of your house or overhanging the roof.

Fort Langley’s

ghostly past GRAVE TALES EXPOSES SUPERNATURAL SI DE OF THE BIRTHPLACE OF B.C. MI RAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti m e s R e p o r t e r

ver the years, the Fort Langley National Historic Site has received an abundance of feedback on the little boy in the Big House. Some praise the Fort for their creativity in having a young boy dressed in period clothing to greet guests at the building. Others have written scathing emails scolding them for allowing an unsupervised child to play with the visiting children. It’s an issue staff continue to struggle with. Mostly, because this little boy doesn’t exist — the Fort has never hired a costumed interpretor that young. Is he a ghost? Aman Johal, a costumed interpreter at the Fort, seems to think so. Johal calls himself the “biggest skeptic” when it comes to ghost stories. Yet, he still can’t explain who the little boy was that he saw cowering in the corner of the Big House one morning when he was unlocking it for the day. Or, how the boy vanished from the room as soon as he looked away.

Johal’s personal encounter is just one of many ghost stories he tells during Grave Tales, a walking tour throughout Fort Langley that highlights some of the town’s supernatural secrets. Held in October, the event sells out every year and leaves thrill seekers asking for more. This year, the Fort created an extra adults-only walk to help fill the demand. When they started the tour nine years ago, organizers weren’t sure how the community would respond. Johal said they canvased the town looking for ghost stories, hoping to get two or three that could be turned into a Halloween walk. They ended up with over 2,000. Fort Langley, it seems, is very haunted. Overwhelmed with stories, the walk was built using the tales submitted at least four times or more. The tour takes people through the Fort Langley Cemetery to visit centuryold graves, over to some of the town’s oldest buildings, and into the 1850s Fort itself. The costumed interpreter guides provide a ghostly education and a

There have been several accounts of a man dressed in period clothing wandering through the Fort Langley Cemetery looking for a Native woman. Many have thought him to be a costumed interpreter from the Fort Langley Historic Site — others, think him a ghost. The man is said to be William Henry Emptage, a Hudson’s Bay Company employee who did farm work behind the Fort. This, and several other ghost stories are revealed by Aman Johal at Grave Tales, a special Halloween event put on each year by the Fort Langley National Historic Site. detailed history of Fort Langley, once a prominent trading post for the Hudson’s Bay Company.

Mystery behind St. George’s cross Those with Th ith d detailed t il d eyes may wonder d why h St St. G George’s ’ Anglican A li Ch Church h (pictured ( i t d left) l ft) iin F Fort Langley has a Catholic cross suspended above the front door. Made of steel, this cross long predates the church, said Aman Johal of the Fort Langley National Historic Site. It belongs to Peoh-Peoh, a Hawaiian worker at the Hudson’s Bay Company in the early 1800s, and was found years after his death by one of pioneer Alexander Mavis’ hogs. As it turns out, the courtyard of the Anglican Church is an old cemetery, used by the Fort between 1843 and 1886. To this day, experts are still unsure which gravesite the hog dug up the cross from. It’s estimated there are at least 30 people buried here. The marker remains hanging on the church until Peoh-Peoh’s original resting place is found. The large cross is visible to all who wander past the church at 9160 Church St. More details on its history are unveiled on the Grave Tales ghost story walk. MIR ANDA GATHER COLE L an gley Tim es

‘Happy Days’ return to Langley GREAT

A RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT CAN BE EVEN

1960S-STYLE EVENT HAPPENING SEPT. 27 MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The Good Times Cruise-In has come and gone for another year, but Sandy Dunkley plans to keep the good times rolling by building on the massive car show’s success. To do that, the Langley woman has organized a 1960s-style evening of dancing, classic cars and old movies. It all happens at the Twilight Drive-In on Sunday, Sept. 27. The event will be the first annual Ron Dunkley Memorial Society’s ‘Happy Days Are Here Again’ fundraiser, in memory of her late son. Dunkley has rented the Aldergrove drive-in in hopes of bringing back those ‘happy days’ for one memorable evening. Proceeds will support the Ambulance Paramedics of B.C., with proceeds going to the Honour House,

a home away from home, located in New Westminster, for all emergency services personnel, veterans and their families to use — free of charge — while they travel to receive medical care. 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. Jim McGregor will emcee the evening. Dunkley has rented two huge tents in case the weather doesn’t co-operate. Prizes will be awarded for best look-a-likes of Fonzie, James Dean and Elvis as well as for best car. Dunkley will bring her own ’59 Ford Fairlane to the event. 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,

Connecting art and science An event that connects art and science is coming to Trinity Western Univeristy (TWU) next month. The 10th annual Verge Conference, hosted by TWU’s School of the Arts, Media + Culture, is taking place Oct. 1 and 2. The conference brings together visual artists, performing artists, poets and scientists who are passionate about a wide range of environmental issues. Topics include how the arts and environmental science methodologies are complementary or compatible, how science-based research and artsbased research strengthen each other and how environmental scientists and artists share ethical responsibilities. Keynote speakers are Liz Ingram, professor from the University of Alberta department of art and design, and Tim Lilburn, professor and Governor General’s Award winner from the University of Victoria. In conjuction with the event, the university is also hosting the Sea Change Colloquium on Oct. 3, featuring presentations and conversations amongst artists, scholars and scientists concerned with ocean change. The Colloquium will examine how and why global oceans are changing, and how it is connected to global climate change. It also brings together ocean scientists and artists to talk and to collaborate in researchcreation projects. Both events take place in the music building at TWU, 7600 Glover Rd.

Fort Langley art tours this weekend The annual Langley Studio Art Tour is on hiatus this year, but the Langley Centennial Museum is bridging the gap with a Fort Langley Art Studio Walking Tour and Art Studio Bus Tour this weekend. The events are being held in conjunction with Culture Days in Canada. A Bus Tour to the studios of four artists will be held Saturday, Sept. 26, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The trip will stop in at the studios of glass blower Robert Gary Parkes and potter Laurel Vlieg in the morning, then lunch will be provided at Porters Bistro Coffee and Tea Shop in Murrayville.

Rivermen blank Kings, fall to Wild LANGLEY WINS HOME DEBUT 5-0 BEFORE LOSING 5-3 TO WENATCHEE GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

In an early-season first-place showdown, it was the visiting Wenatchee Wild landing the first blow, defeating the Langley Rivermen 5-3. The two junior A hockey clubs squared off on Sunday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre, both sporting 2-0-0-0 records and a share of top spot in the BCHL’s Mainland Division. Despite the defeat, Rivermen coach Bobby Henderson liked his team’s bounce back after a tough start. Less than two minutes into the game, they lost starting goaltender Bo Didur to injury and the Wild then jumped out to a 3-1 lead after one period. JUS TI N Langley batF RE G O N A tled back with a pair of goals to tie the game before Wenatchee scored the eventual winner late in the second period. Langley’s Justin Fregona scored all three goals in the defeat and he leads the team with four goals in three games. “We didn’t get it done at the end

The Rivermen were also in action the next afternoon, hosting the Wenatchee Wild, with the visitors winning 5-3 to leave Langley with a 2-1-0-0 mark on the season. of the day, but all in all, I thought there were some good things and some areas we need to work on,” Henderson said. The Rivermen were coming off a shutout victory the night before in their home opener, as they blanked the Prince George Spruce

Kings 5-0. Justin Szeto, Dominic Franco, Cameron Ginnetti, Zac Masson and Fregona each registering a goal in the victory while Didur was called upon to make just 10 saves. “We did a good job of taking

away time and space and our defence played really solid the entire game,” Henderson said. “It (10 shots) was pretty indicative of the game. “We made the most of our opportunities and didn’t give up a whole lot.”

Langley is in action this weekend at Chilliwack’s Propsera Centre as part of the BCHL Bauer Showcase. The team plays the Salmon Arm Silverbacks (3-0-1-0) on Thursday afternoon and the West Kelowna Warriors (2-2-0-0) on Sunday night.

Rams set for Raiders showdown LANGLEY HOSTS VANCOUVER ISLAN D WITH WINNER GETTING INSIDE TR ACK ON SECOND PLACE, HOME PLAYOF F DAT E G A RY AHUJA Times Sports

Langley Rams’ Brock Gowanlock (#99) leaps to try and block the pass attempt of Valley Huskers’ quarterback Noah Falconer on Saturday night in Chilliwack. The Rams won 56-7.

The Langley Rams are riding high off a sparkling defensive effort as they get set for a huge showdown which should determine second place — and a home playoff date — this weekend with the Vancouver Island Raiders. The Rams improved to 5-3 in B.C. Football Conference action after a 56-7 win over the Valley Huskers on Saturday night at Chilliwack’s Exhibition Stadium. The game was halted in the third quarter after a Huskers player suffered a serious arm injury. But up until that point, the Rams defensive delivered a stout effort, allowing 58 yards of net offence. The Huskers

lone score came off a kick-off return for a touchdown. And the win was all the more impressive considering the Rams had a less than ideal week to prepare, said head coach Jeff Alamolhoda. The team was missing coaches throughout the week and on game day, including Alamolhoda, who missed the week with strep throat and then a double root canal. He also was pressed into calling the defensive plays on Saturday night with the team’s co-ordinator away for the game. “Football players are creatures of habit and this week we weren’t able to prepare the way we prepare each and every week, which could

have affected our outcome,” he said. “The biggest thing was our guys were able to overcome a lot of adversity throughout the week. We had some challenges and we were able to overcome a lot of that adversity and come out, stick together, trust each other and really start believing in each other, allowing us to focus on our own jobs and not have to freelance for other people. I really saw that.” Quarterback Dylan Tucker tossed three touchdown passes — one apiece to Khalik Johnson, Devoun Hallums and Seye Akinsanmi — while also rushing for one score as the offence racked up 601 yards of offence in less than

three quarters of work. Jacob Patko and Ryan MacDonald also found the end zone along the ground and the rushing attack finished with 325 yards on 24 carries. Brian Hope was also good on all three of his field goal attempts. Denis Olivera and Nathan Carrol both came up with interceptions while Kyle Sagmoen had a quarterback sack. And that sets up a showdown on Saturday at McLeod Athletic Park (4 p.m.) against the Raiders in a battle of 5-3 football teams. The Raiders beat the Rams in week one. “Their defence is very stout, just like ours, and their quarterback likes to throw the ball. They have a lot of offensive production and we need to come up and rise to that challenge, and I believe we are ready,” Alamolhoda said.

T-Birds, Blazers split

A four-point game from defenceman Matthew Dyck helped the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds rally for victory. Dyck tied the score early in the second period as the Thunderbirds scored five straight goals to defeat the Thompson Blazers 6-2 on Sunday in B.C. Major Midget Hockey League action at the Sandman Centre in Kamloops. Another Langley product, Jonathan Stein, scored the eventual game-winning goal while Jonathan Rees finished with a goal and two helpers.

The Blazers had won game one by a 3-2 score on Saturday with Aldergrove’s Baxter Anderson scoring once. The Thunderbirds are made up of players from Langley, Aldergrove, Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack. Prior to this season, Langley hockey players had been in the catchment area of the Valley West Hawks, which now is just Surrey Cloverdale and White Rock. The Thunderbirds face the Okanagan Rockets in a pair of games this weekend.

••• The Trinity Western Spartans men’s soccer team dropped a pair of tough decisions against two of the country’s top 10 teams. The Spartans lost 1-0 to the No. 8 UVic Vikes on Friday night and 2-0 to the UBC Thunderbirds on Saturday night at TWU’s Rogers Field. With the losses, the team fell to 2-2-0 on the Canada West season. “We lost six points this weekend because we got counter-attacked three times,” summed up Spartans coach Pat Rohla. “Were we good between the boxes? I think we’re as good as any team in the league. “But where the game is really won and lost is in the 18-yard boxes. “We’re disappointed we didn’t finish (our chances) this weekend, but there were some good pieces that we take out of this in terms of how we play. “Guys are trying to do the right thing, but it’s those critical moments in the boxes that let us down.” Titouan Chopin and Luke Griffin scored for the T-Birds, with a goal in each half. Against Victoria, the game was scoreless until Dominic Colantonio struck in the 74th minute. Andrew Hicks was in goal for TWU for both games, making five saves versus Victoria and two more against UBC. The Spartans are on a bye this weekend, returning to league action on Oct. 2 and 3 when they host Thompson Rivers and UBC Okanagan at Rogers Field.

I TAST CAR

After a disappointing draw the night before, the fourth-ranked Trinity Western Spartans bounced back for a convincing 3-0 victory over the Thompson Rivers WolfPack. The Spartans also tied the UBC Okanagan Heat 1-1 the day before, with both games at TWU’s Rogers Field, and sit at 2-1-1 on the Canada West season. The Spartans women’s soccer team broke a scoreless game during the first half stoppage time with Ali Oliverio and when the second half resumed, picked up where they left off, with goals from Isabella Di Trocchio and Jenaya Robertson in the 50th and 64th minutes, respectively. “I thought we gave a lot of effort and were committed to the task,” said Spartans defender Quinn Hardstaff. “We kept possession when we needed to and once we got the lead, we stayed composed and didn’t let them back in the game.” The Spartans fired 13 shots on the WolfPack net with Taylor Shantz stopping 10. Ally Williamson made two saves for the Spartan clean sheet. TWU coach Graham Roxburgh was happy his team came away with three points, although he conceded they still have work to do. “I thought we were a bit sluggish in the first half, we generated some good half-chances and their keeper made two or three really good saves,” he said. Against the Heat the night before, the visitors led 1-0 until Oliverio converted a penalty kick in the 52nd minute. The team hits the road for the first time this season as they visit the UNBC Timberwolves in Prince George on Friday and then the Alberta Pandas in Edmonton on Sunday.

Giants edge Rockets at LEC LANGLEY PAIR BOTH HOPING TO MAKE FINAL WHL ROS TERS The Vancouver Giants got a goal and an assist from James Malm as they defeated the Kelowna Rockets 5-4 in preseason Western Hockey League action at the Langley Events Centre on Friday night. Malm and Kelowna’s Conner Bruggen-Cate are both trying to land spots with their respective WHL teams for the 2015/16 hockey season. Both left-wingers are 16 years old and from Langley and were teammates with the rep peewee team which won silver at the provincial championships in 2012. That team was also the first from B.C. to win gold at the prestigious Regina Peewee Classic hockey tournament.

GARY AHUJA L an gley Time s

Vancouver Giants captain Jackson Houck tries to get past the interference of Kelowna Rockets’ Dillon Dube off a first period face-off during the Western Hockey League teams’ preseason game at the Langley Events Centre on Friday night. The Giants won 5-4 with Langley’s James Malm opening the scoring and later adding an assist in the victory. Malm, a second round pick of the Giants in the 2014 WHL bantam draft, finished the preseason with two

goals and an assist. Bruggen-Cate had one assist in the exhibition season as he tries to stick with the

defending WHL champion Rockets. He was also taken in the 2014 bantam draft, going in the sixth round.

WHL teams must be down to 25 players for the start of the season, which gets underway Friday.

Knights salvage one point with overtime loss The Langley Knights are still in search for their first victory on home ice. The junior B hockey club fell to 0-2 at the George Preston Recreation Centre after dropping a 5-3 decision to the Grandview Steelers last week (Sept. 17). The Knights did pick up a point on Saturday night, falling 5-4 in overtime to the North Vancouver Wolf Pack at the Harry Jerome Rec Centre. Against the Steelers, Langley was up 2-0 after one period and 3-2 in the third period before Grandview scored the game’s final three goals. The Steelers power play did the bulk of the damage, going three-for-five. Nicolas Bizzuto, Brandon Galbraith and Dylan McCann had the Knight goals. Langley battled back against the Wolf Pack to score three third-period goals — two of them with the man advantage — to force overtime and earn the single point. North Vancouver’s Jackson Tadey struck for the winner 2:55 into the extra period to give the home team the extra point. Brendan Campbell scored twice for the Knights while Connor Bowey and Cole Williams had the other goals. Langley (1-2-0-1) has three games in the coming days, including home dates against Mission City tomorrow (Thursday) and Aldergrove (Sept. 28) as well as a road contest versus Ridge Meadows on Friday.
