It’s a Toss Up
SOME RESIDENTS COULD SEE THEIR WATER BILLS INCREASE TENFOLD
FIRST ONLINE POLL WAS CARRIED OUT DURING THE SUMMER WHEN MANY PEOPLE AREN’T HOME, ARGUES COUNCILLOR DA N F ERGUSO N Tim e s Re po r t e r
The Township of Langley will conduct a second survey of residents about plans to increase traffic along the already-busy 16 Avenue route. The move comes after the decision to carry out an online survey in July drew complaints that many residents were away and could not participate. Councillor Charlie Fox was one of the critics, calling the summer a “brutal time to have public consultation.” The new survey is tentatively scheduled for the last two weeks in October. The 168 people who responded to the summer survey listed safety
and traffic congestion concerns as their top issues and said widening of the 25-kilometre road should happen sooner than scheduled. They were commenting on the 16 Avenue Corridor Study, which was launched by TransLink in November, 2013 at the Township’s request, to look at short-term, medium-term and long-term plans for the route. The road, which is a designated truck route and part of the regional Major Road Network (MRN), has seen traffic increase roughly two per cent every year, going from 8,880 vehicles per day in 1992 to 12,400 vehicles in 2011.

A proposal to hook houses into the municipal water system along 244 Street and 56 Avenue has pitted neighbour against neighbour. On one side are the customers of a private water supplier who hope to avoid a tenfold increase in their monthly bills, while on the other are people with their own wells who don’t feel they should be forced into connecting. For about 42 years, 19 properties have been supplied by Nectar Waterworks Ltd., which pumps water from a well. Nectar currently charges each home $35 a month for the service. In July, the company obtained an order from the provincial deputy comptroller of water rights to raise the rate to $354 a month, phased in over three years. Continued Page 4

Junior B hockey game marred by brawl NINE PLAYERS, TWO COACHES SUSPENDED AFTER FIGHT THAT SENT AT LEAST FIVE TO HOSPITAL GARY AH U J A Ti me s Re po r t e r
Langley RCMP is investigating after an on-ice brawl between two junior B hockey teams escalated to the point that one coach allegedly assaulted the other. The fracas happened on Thursday night at the George Preston Recreation Centre between the Langley Knights and the Mission City Outlaws. Early in the third period — and with the visitors ahead 9-3 — a line brawl broke out after an alleged dirty hit by a Mission City player on a member of the Knights. As the players on the ice engaged in a fight, Knights coach John Craighead allegedly jumped onto the Mission City bench ‘and put his hands on the coach,’ said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Largy. It is also alleged he assaulted a member of the Mission team — not in uniform — who had come to the bench along with
another player to try to separate the coaches, Largy said. Police arrested Craighead. He was questioned and released without charges. Craighead emailed a statement to the media on Saturday night. “First and foremost, I would like to clarify that what transpired during the game was deeply upsetting to myself … our entire team, parents and our fans,” he wrote. “I treat the players on the team like they are my own kids. “Being part of the Langley Knights is like being part of a family. When unnecessary aggression is shown towards my players, I reacted as any parent would.” Craighead said the incident sent five of his players to hospital and some of them are facing injuries that will directly impact their hockey careers for the rest of their lives. Injuries included a broken leg, a seri-
ous concussion and lacerations requiring stitches. He also said that he takes full responsibility for his part, adding that he had gone to the opposition’s bench for an explanation about why the Outlaws’ older players were targeting one of the Knights’ youngest players. “At that time, I felt genuine fear for the safety and bodily health of my players,” Craighead said. Craighead added the team will respect the final decisions of the league and the RCMP. “Aside from being thoroughly disgusted and embarrassed over this incident, I will have no further comment until I complete my investigation,” said Pacific Junior Hockey League executive vice-president Ray Stonehouse on Monday morning. Five Langley players and four members of the Outlaws have been suspended,
while Mission City coach Brad Veitch was handed a 10-game ban. “Mr. Craighead is on indefinite suspension pending the outcome of my investigation,” Stonehouse said. “I am in no rush to judgment. I am going to have all the facts.” Stonehouse said the suspensions would have been equal, but Craighead’s actions warranted more serious discipline. Stonehouse said he is still in the process of gathering letters and statements from all those involved. He will also wait to see what the RCMP finds during their investigation. Police are now in the process of going over the ‘tons of footage’ from the brawl and still have many people to interview to determine if criminal charges will be recommended against Craighead, Largy said.

Burning ban lifted in Langley Township BUR N I N G PE RMITS C A N B E P U RC H A S ED F O R $25 Burning season is now open in the Township of Langley. The announcement was made by the Township Tuesday, Sept. 22 after Metro Vancouver announced water restrictions were being relaxed thanks to a spell of wet, cool weather. Under normal conditions, burning season runs Sept. 1 to Oct. 31, but this year it will be
— with files from Monique Tamminga
extended to Nov. 30, if the weather allows. “The threat of fire danger was previously too high to allow outdoor burning, but the change in weather has reduced the risk,” Township of Langley Assistant Fire Chief Pat Walker said. “Residents in areas that allow outdoor burning can now obtain permits and clean up the yard and garden debris, leaves, and branches that have accumulated over the summer and during the recent windstorm.” Those who want to burn must have property that is half an acre or larger and is surrounded by properties that are at least the same size. Burning is not allowed and permits are
not issued for the urban areas of Aldergrove, Brookswood/Fernridge, Fort Langley, Murrayville, Walnut Grove, and Willoughby/Willowbrook. Burning permits can be purchased for $25 from the Township’s Civic Facility, Fire Hall 6 in Murrayville, the Operations Centre, or at the Aldergrove Kinsmen, Walnut Grove, W.C. Blair, or Willoughby Community Recreation Centres. Land clearing permits are only available to properties that are 4.2 acres or larger and can only be issued at Fire Hall 6 in Murrayville, at 22170 50 Ave.
About 13 to 16 per cent of that is truck traffic, more than the average arterial road, which carries five to 10 per cent trucks. An Abbotsford proposal that would allow big rigs to access 16 Avenue from Hwy. 1 has raised concerns about increased congestion. “We’re going to see way more trucks (and) way longer trucks,” Councillor David Davis predicted. “We’re going to see South Langley get dissected a little bit.” A staff report suggests the Abbotsford plan would have the benefit of reducing truck traffic along Fraser Highway through Aldergrove. The corridor study proposes short-term improvements over the next five years that include more signage and lighting, speed enforcement, pull-out lanes for slow-moving farm vehicles, reducing the number of driveways and wildlife fencing. Medium-term improvements, six and 15 years down the line, include the Abbotsford proposal and would also add two-way left lanes and upgraded traffic signals. Long-term improvements, beyond 15 years, call for widening the corridor to four lanes.

Most of that, $301, is for a replacement reserve trust fund to cover the cost of replacing the aging pipes, which are nearing the end of their 50-year service life. The company notified its customers of the decision in a letter that suggested they petition the Township for a municipal connection because it would cost “substantially less” than Nectar’s planned hike. Nectar owner Gordon Dykstra said back when the company was formed and started pumping water, the plan was to have the municipality take over after 17 years. Dykstra told The Times there were “two or three” attempts to negotiate that, but it never happened. Now, the lines are getting worn out. “They are leaking and they are rusted out,” Dykstra said. If the municipality takes over, Dykstra said he will be able to cap the well Nectar pumps from and see if “we can do something” with the property. After meeting with Councillors Charlie Fox and Kim Richter and Ramin Seifi, the Township general manager of community development and engineering, a group of residents has launched a petition to have municipal waterlines installed. “(The company) left us between a rock and a hard place,” said one of the residents, Ian Wightman.

244 Street neighbours Jim Ward, Anna Ward, Ian Wightman and Steve Upton applied for a connection to the Township water system after the private water company that serves them got approval to raise their fees from $35 to $354 a month in order to modernize its 42-year-old system. The hookup would affect 35 residents, slightly more than half of them Nectar subscribers, while the others have their own wells. Under Township regulations, if more than half the property owners vote for the connection, all property owners will have to pay. Peter Walton said he is sympathetic to the situation of the Nectar subscribers, but believes their plan is unfair to the 16 properties like his, which have their own wells and don’t have to rely on either Nectar or the Township.
“I’m against it,” Walton told Wightman outside the open house. “I need to be convinced otherwise.” Walton estimates he would have to pay $20,000 (payable in installments over 20 years) plus the cost of connection and capping his well for a water system he doesn’t need. A Sept. 21 open house held by Township staff found enough support to justify a formal survey of affected property owners. Supporters of the plan have 60 days to canvass the neighbourhood for signatures.

Phil Ryan sits in the woodworking shop at the Harrison Landing seniors residence in Langley. The longtime volunteer instructor at Douglas Park Elementary school has retired after 18 years. The school’s Explorations program woodworking course will carry on, however, with a new teacher. A retired RCMP officer offered to take over the role in January after reading the school’s plea for a new volunteer in The Times.

PHIL RYAN SPENT 18 YEARS TEACHING DOUGLAS PARK STUDENTS THE FINER POINTS OF WOODWORKING MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
Phil Ryan helped budding young carpenters create works of art out of wood for more than 18 years at Douglas Park Community School. For nearly two decades, the now 87-year-old volunteered his time teaching Grade 3, 4 and 5 students woodworking skills, like making a treasure chest or a sailboat, through the school’s Explorations program. “He’s a real special guy,” said principal Esther Schmit. “He’s in a wheelchair and tried to retire from us once before but came back when no other volunteer stepped up.” But by the end of the last school year, however, Ryan felt he was getting on and couldn’t volunteer anymore. “There comes a time in a guy’s life when you have to slow down a bit,” said Ryan who recently moved to Harrison Landing with his wife. “But there wasn’t a day I didn’t enjoy teaching those kids. There wasn’t a sad day. They were all good kids,” Ryan said. Ryan said he kept the kids
busy learning about hand tools and then finding out what they wanted to make — like treasure chests. “He taught the kids how to swing a hammer, put in a nail. They would make boxes with a lid, bird houses and sailboats. He had all these projects with them,” said Schmit. While Ryan has retired from volunteering at Douglas Park school, his efforts continue at his new home. Living at a retirement home, he saw that many seniors were struggling to reach food that was across the table in the dining hall. “I talked to the chef and he agreed about the size and I made 16 lazy Susans for the table tops,” he said. In the meantime, Schmit asked, through an article in The Times, for a new woodworking volunteer to step up and continue the program. “A retired RCMP officer read about the request in your paper and will begin volunteering in January,” she said. She said the kids love woodworking. Most of the students
live in apartments and wouldn’t otherwise have access to the tools and materials. Douglas Park School lets out early on Wednesdays to allow Grades 3 - 5 students to join in the Explorations program. The school has added a few minutes to the other days of the week so that on most Wednesdays, students can explore activities like ice skating, photography, art, cooking, gardening, dancing, karate, beading and singing. Students can sign up for a variety of activities that aren’t usually covered in the regular school curriculum. “We have 65 kids signed up this year so it shows the interest,” said Schmit. “Kids are open to try new things.” There are still ample opportunity for people to share their talents with Douglas Park kids, she said. “If someone has a talent they want to share, give us a call,” said Schmit. Volunteers are required to undergo a criminal record check. Call the school at 604-533-4491 for more information.

COMPANY SAYS IT IS WORKING CLOSELY WITH POLICE TO RESOLVE ISSUES AT ITS EXISTING LANGLEY CITY STORE
Double your pleasure – Double your Mum!
Garden Mums
A meeting about a proposed new 7-Eleven gas station in the City of Langley — intended to focus on the form and character of the building — ended up sparking a discussion about the issues surrounding the City’s existing store instead. During a Sept. 14 committee of the whole meeting about the proposed new development at 200 Street and 56 Avenue, the conversation was quickly sidetracked by residents and councillors concerned about the state of 7-Eleven’s existing Langley City store, located at Douglas Crescent and 203 Street. Locals called it a “hub” for crime, drugs and prostitution, and the idea of another store opening less than a kilometre away was not well received. “I am dead against this development,” said resident Robert King. “We have spent years, and so have the RCMP, in cleaning up our area of all the drug dealers and everything else. We don’t need more trouble coming in and our vehicles being broken into, and our homes.” A new 7-Eleven is proposed for the empty lot where a Husky gas station operated for 28 years. Its design features a 24-hour convenience store and gas station with three pump islands. The company had a CPTED (crime prevention through environmental design) study completed and worked with consultants to create a design layout that maximizes visibility and safety for future employees who will work night shifts in the store. Although council approves of the physical design — they passed the development permit later in
the evening — the issue of safety was brought up a number of times during the discussion. For resident Ryan Doherty, whose backyard is directly adjacent to the lot, it’s the 24 hours of operation that makes him uneasy. He said he is worried for the safety of his children and the other 22 kids who live in his complex. “You know what happens at the 7-Eleven on the corner here,” he said. “It’s an episode of Cops.” Representatives from 7-Eleven said they have been working closely with RCMP to mitigate the crime problems at their current location. They also described the company’s “three-pronged approach” to crime deterrence, which includes employees wearing personal safety devices, and brought along a sample safety manual from their American stores. “We have had some good success this year,” said Mark Broda, asset protection manager for 7-Eleven Canada, who is also a Langley resident and sits on the board of directors for Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers. “We’ve had a decrease in the number of violent incidents. We’ve had no robberies this year. The Langley RCMP and our teams have been working together to deter the element that some of our speakers have pointed out. “Some of the prostitution and drug dealing has moved away from our area. We have seen much less of that. “We’re working with the RCMP, they’re in our parking lot more often. We have deterred that activity.” The development permit was passed with councillors Val van den Broek and Jack Arnold opposed.

Residents in the area of 200 Street and 56 Avenue in Langley City have made their feelings abundantly clear when it comes to plans for a new 24-hour 7-Eleven convenience store and gas bar in their neighbourhood. Their sentiment, simply put, is ‘no, thanks.’ Despite the fact the location in question was, until relatively recently, occupied by a Husky gas station, which was in business for 28 years, it’s tough to blame people who are raising families in the area for being a little worried about what the new development might bring. Their fear is that some or all of the problems that have plagued the existing 7-Eleven just down the road, may be duplicated in their backyards. While those concerns may well be justified, it’s not really fair to look at it as a problem with the brand itself. Any business that offers a combination of convenience (24-hour operation) and low-cost food and drink in a central location is going to draw a certain element in the middle of the night. Will the problems, which the company says it has been working with police to eliminate, simply migrate down the street? Who knows? Nobody, including the residents, the City or 7-Eleven itself, has a crystal ball. But to give the company the credit it is due, they’re taking what steps they can to prevent that by consulting with crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) experts and, as mentioned, working closely with the RCMP. Maybe residents’ concerns could also be met half way. Perhaps 24-hour operation isn’t strictly necessary? The proposal raises another, rather obvious, question — why open a business to compete with one you already operate a mere 600 metres away? Does this mean there are plans down the road to close the existing store at 203 Street and Douglas Crescent? Would a clean and well-kept new building mean a fresh start for 7-Eleven in Langley City? We don’t know what happens in or around the new 7-Eleven on 168 Street in Cloverdale after dark, but during daylight hours, it looks clean, well-run and fits in well to the developing community. Maybe with a bit of compromise and plenty of communication, the opportunity exists to create something all parties can live with.

Question
of the week
Do you support 7-Eleven’s proposal to open another store near its existing Langley City location?
Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
Put a ring around it they
say
The City of Port Alberni has been talking about a ring road around the city to divert truck traffic for well over a decade. In 2004, a Harbour Road pre-design study was conducted. In 2012, a report outlined three options
plus costs. Yet there is still no ring road. And trucks still lumber up Third Avenue, bisecting our city via residential routes. The issue has recently revived and returned to the council table. Only instead of a decision on the plan once and for all, we sense that another ‘study’ or ‘report’ is pending. At the same time, the provincial government is finally looking at the feasibility of a second route into the Alberni Valley (it’s only been 30-plus years). And the Huu-ay-aht First Nation and Steelhead LNG have been talking about improving the road to Bamfield, via a loop route from Bamfield to Duncan through Port Alberni on the east side and Anacla on the west. If we’re not careful, we will lose all funding opportunities for a ring road, plus any funding that the government may be eyeing for these other projects, simply because we cannot decide on what we want. A ring road would take traffic away from uptown and the areas of the waterfront people would like to see developed for tourists, such as Harbour Quay. At the same time it would provide those companies that operate industries on our waterfront to keep continued access to our deep-water port. A compromise must be found or a decision made. Enough is enough. — Alberni Valley News

NEWS & EVENTS | SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER 2015 LANGLEY CITY FIRE HALL OPEN HOUSE
Religion ‘a legitimate part of the public sphere’ Editor: Zak Graham’s rebuke (The Times, Sept. 25) holds considerable merit. Christianity does not compel belief or conversion. It recognizes and accepts secular government as legitimate. In fact, forcing Bibles on ‘impressionable” youth is a strategy that, at first blush, appears to be a rather uncharitable imposition and, given all the other media voices clamouring for our attention, it seems an ill-advised strategy from the outset. I know I was never particularly enamoured with things forced on me in my youth. At the same time, religion is a means of examining, discussing, clarifying and developing moral frameworks and positions. The secular mind has its moral ideas, too. Morality might be found in evolution, or take on a more utilitarian view, or lend itself to a pragmatism that fits
comfortably in todays culture. Sam Harris offers a foundation based on human flourishing. These secular positions all have their strengths and weaknesses. Religious contributions are a big part of the moral conversation. So, while Mr. Graham’s point is worth considering, it does not necessitate the more expansive position that ‘views on religion [be] best kept to self.” In fact, it is the editorial title that is somewhat misleading to the reader. Rather, religion is a legitimate part of the public sphere and moral conversation. There is big leap taken when an argument against forcing Bibles on our youth is transformed into a singular proposition that relegates all religious views to the personal thereby illegitimizing the religious voice in the public square. This course diminishes intel-
lectual debate and impairs the process of allowing ideas to, in a Darwinian sense, fight it out and let the best win. And, of course, it is in the public square where argument and discourse should take place so that ideas, whether secular or religious, are refined and forced to take on hard questions. Contrary to the editorial title, religion is not best hidden and kept silently to one’s self. Nor is it to be forced on those who do not wish it. But it should remain a legitimate part of the public conversation as it adds colour and contrast to the moral landscape that makes up Canadian culture. Last, it must also be mentioned that this paper plays an important role as a venue for just such public conversation and we are richer for it. RUBEN SORGE, LANGLEY
By voting, Writer’s ‘attack’ we choose on columnist the Canada was completely we want unwarranted Editor: I am voting because recent extreme weather events require bold and immediate action on climate change. Yes, critical action to protect against the ever increasing danger of floods and wild fires, which follow a seemingly never-ending drought is required. Also, I would like our federal scientists to be communicative with the public and the media and decision makers, giving their reasoned and scientific view of our world and the research they have been doing. My kids and grandkids need a Canada without an unwieldy economic, social or environmental deficit facing them. On Oct. 19, let’s get out in record numbers to vote for a Canada we believe in. I strongly believe that all Canadians have the right to live in a healthy environment with clean air, water and soil. Momentum is building in this federal election and the stakes are high. Together we can get out and vote in record numbers and choose the Canada we want. LATIFAH BRETT, LANGLEY
Editor: Regarding the letter from Zak Graham ‘Views on religion best kept to self’ (The Times, Sept. 25). How ridiculous and shallow Zak Graham’s arguments are in his vicious attack on Jim McGregor, completely unwarranted. He looks silly as he promotes his interpretations of how we should all think just like him, his left wing religion, far more than McGregor’s mention of Bibles. While not a particularly religious enthusiast or practicing Christian, I personally think religion is a good thing to anchor social and family values in raising young people (with the exception of extremist religions like Islamic Sharia law). Christianity is presently under attack worldwide and Graham appears to be band-wagon jumping. Had McGregor quoted the Koran, I doubt Graham would have the courage to
attack Islam the way he does Christianity. The Langley Times’ Fraser Valley circulation encompasses a high Christian demographic. In recent years, many youth and university academics are embracing environmentalism as their religion, choosing to worship the creation but not the creator. Zak Graham does not appear to acknowledge that most individual freedom is enjoyed in the Western World where laws rights and freedoms were founded and evolved on Christian principles. Our laws remain fixed to these principles. Been to any funerals lately? Who will Zak Graham thank for his life when it nears it’s end? Will his eulogy reference famous academic historians? Al Gore?

‘Strong leadership for a strong Canada’ 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 Dean Drysdale, Conservative Party candidate for the riding of Cloverdale-Langley City.
I
am grateful for the opportunity to address the issues that I hear about most often in my conversations with people in our community. First among these is the economy. People understand that economic growth, job creation, and the sustainability of our health system and other social programs depend on the sound management of our economy. In this regard, the government’s record speaks for itself. Despite a period of unprecedented global economic instability, Canada has done very well. Since the global financial crisis in 2008, Canada has posted the strongest economic growth, the strongest job creation numbers (1.2 million net new jobs) and the strongest income growth for the middle class among any of the major developed economies. We have kept spending under control and this year we have balanced the budget — the only country in the G7 to do so. Canada’s debt-to-GDP ratio is now the lowest among G7 countries, and both the IMF and the OECD expect Canada to have one of the fastest-growing economies in the G7 over the next few years. This record is particularly impressive considering it has been accomplished while the tax burden on Canadian families has been reduced to its lowest
point in over 50 years. Uncertainty in the global economy persists. I believe the best way to deal with it is to stick with a low-tax, prudent plan that is clearly working instead of gambling on the big spending, high-tax, high-debt approach which is failing everywhere else. Consider this: Justin Trudeau would dramatically hike payroll taxes on middle class Canadians. His tax hike would cost over $1,000 for someone earning $60,000 per year. He thinks budgets balance themselves. Thomas Mulcair, when asked, did not even know what the business tax rate is in Canada; he just knows he wants to raise it. Both Trudeau and Mulcair are offering the same high tax, high debt policies that created the type of chaos we see in Greece today. Trudeau and Mulcair think you can spend your way to prosperity, but people in Cloverdale – Langley City know it doesn’t work that way. The second issue that I hear about most often concerns the safety of our streets. And little wonder: for over 40
years, our criminal justice system was going in the wrong direction — focused more on the rights of criminals than on the rights of victims. The Harper Government committed to change things, and has delivered on that commitment. There are tougher laws to crack down on gun and gang crime; violent and repeat offenders; identity theft; violence against seniors; car theft, and street racing — to name a few areas. We have stopped routinely giving convicted criminals two-for-one credit for time served prior to trial. We have ended the practice of paying Old Age Security payments to prisoners. Also, the Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act allows victims of terrorism to sue perpetrators and supporters of terrorism in a Canadian court, including foreign states listed by the Government. This election will be an important one for Canada. Canadians will be asked whether they want to continue with the sound economic policies, and get-tough-on-crime agenda of Stephen Harper or whether they want to take a gamble on the risky economic and social experiments promised by Justin Trudeau or Thomas Mulcair. I would be grateful for the opportunity to represent our community in Parliament and to work on behalf of Cloverdale and Langley City residents to make our community and our country even safer and more prosperous than it is today.

Revamp Furniture Garage Revamp Furniture Garage is not your normal shop, but a brief insight into Deen’s artistic design ideas which give a moment of reflection. Revamp is a meeting place for customers and clients to refine their own home decor design direction using Deen as an insightful mentor. Revamp is not just a furniture shop — it’s a drop in workspace where everyone can learn how to paint, to do light upholstery, and weld. For many, Revamp Furniture Garage is a starting point; an amazing resource spot to find the right lighting, paint colour and furnishings. It is a source of information as to where and what to look for if you are seeking the needed essential piece or the flamboyant accent. Revamp is an ever-changing palette with new furniture and walls being used as an artistic medium — undergoing dramatic overhauls in an effort to keep pace with Deen’s designs, furnishings and new ideas. The walls change from barn board rustic to industrial roof metal to refined stone veneer — as once it’s been around for awhile a new idea has to appear. Deen is always amazed with the fact that she finishes designing a coffee table or a dining
set or puts up a new display and people immediately purchase the items to reproduce the look in their own home. Deen, whose background is in interior decorating and colour theory, started her furniture business as a ‘tag along’ in a steel shop, learning to weld after being introduced to a ornamental cast iron supplier. (She did take a course in welding to only show up at the end of the course with projects in hand. She passed). Deen took to welding and started building ‘one off’ bed frames, decorative and ornamental brackets, fences and gates. Drive around Fort Langley and you can instantly spot her work. Interior decorating, welding, furniture design — everything was a mere stepping stone for Deen who with an ever growing client list found the original furnishings people wanted especially if it wasn’t available or too costly. Items are built using old tables or sideboards, salvaged steel, recycled concrete for fireplaces and for Deen, it just keeps growing and nothing is impossible. Deen moved out of the side offices of the steel shop to a warehouse of her own and

Revamp furniture garage is always inspiring and original and you should always check in at the shop to see what classes are available or what is happening. Her paint classes and welding classes are constantly filling up. Another of Deen’s pride and joy is her twice yearly Vintage and Revamped Furniture Market held in Cloverdale coming up October 3rd and 4th at the Fairgrounds in the Agriplex
Barn. Everyone is welcome. Although it is a vintage market, to Deen it is the opportunity to help other home based businesses and other local artisans showcase their items under a large roof. It is so amazing to see so much local talent especially in the Fraser Valley. It was especially important to bring old, new and entrepreneurs as young as nine, and to help people start a stepping stone to establish a dream of starting their own businesses. Encouragement is so important and the vendors in the market showcase pieces you see in a design magazine. It’s not a small market and if you’re thinking of looking — forget it! You will end up buying the dining table of your dreams. So check out the market and come early.

Langley band takes music to the next level LITTLE INDIA IN THE RUNNING FOR $100,000 PRIZE MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter
Just minutes before Little India walked on stage for their very first performance, band members Conan Karpinski, Andrew Dixon and Dallyn Hunt were upstairs inhaling nasal spray to try to calm their nerves. “That was the most nervous we had ever been,” recalled Dixon, Little India bass player and vocalist. “All of our friends came out and they had no idea what to expect. We had no idea what to expect. We had never played on stage before.” It was January, 2013, and the band was opening at Joe’s Apartment nightclub (now Studio Records) in Vancouver for friends in another Langley band, Derrival. The group of 19-year-olds started playing together for fun after graduating from Walnut Grove Secondary and had even written a couple of songs. But never had they done anything very serious. “When we first started jamming together and practising, we always thought that playing downtown at Joe’s Apartment would be our goal,” Dixon said. “We thought that would be the coolest thing, to make it to Downtown Vancouver and play a show. And sure enough that was the first thing we ever did. We were just blown away at the experience and it was the most exhilarating thing ever.” Not only did the band receive an encore at their first show ever, they also were asked by management at the nightclub to headline another show one month later. “I was surprised the audience was actually into it,” said Karpinski, lead vocalist and guitar player. “(Our friends) knew that I was playing music, but I think they were more surprised when they saw what Andrew and Dallyn were playing and that they were actually playing well … I don’t think that anyone knew they could actually play instruments, to be honest. “I think that everyone thought it was kind of neat and just a funny joke. And then we actually impressed them.” From there, the band was approached to play at several nightclubs in
Vancouver. They began recording their first EP, Up All Night, in Karpinski’s “music room,” located above the garage at his home and self-organized a Western-Canada tour. They also added a fourth member to their band, guitar player Tim Morrison, and went on to win the The Shore 104.3’s Best of B.C. and CFOX’s Seeds competitions. This past May they did their first Canadawide tour with Irish band, Kodaline. Now, Little India is one of the final 12 bands in the 2015 PEAK Performance Project. Up for a grand prize of $102,700, the band performs in the competition’s showcase series at Fortune Sound Club on Oct. 8. Fans and supporters can vote for them online from Oct. 16-23. “We’ve come a long way from where we were in 2013,” Karpinski said with a laugh. “When we started, Dallyn couldn’t keep a drum beat.” Although none of the band members had professional music training growing up, they do have a great deal of musical talent. Playing a mix of alternative-punk rock and electronic pop, Karpinski describes their music as “pop songs, but it’s hidden. We layer it with electronic elements and funk and rock, so by the end of the day you wouldn’t think it is a pop song.” Collaborating together to create their songs, most of the writing begins with Karpinski. “Each song is different because it has to
come from someplace,” he said. “There’s no point in writing if it doesn’t mean anything at all. “It’s always drawn from something within. I also like that many of the lyrics are ambiguous. The great thing about music is that you can listen to a song and you can find something in there that you can relate to. And the song can become meaningful to you.” This ambiguity is also reflected in the band’s name. Little India comes from an inside joke the friends had back in high school. They played on the basketball team and did a Christmas gift exchange of used books from the library. Karpinski was given a book titled, Little India. “When we were trying to come up with a name, we wanted something that would relate to us,” Dixon explained. “But at the same time, have a name that would appeal to the music we wanted to play and also be ready to change with genres.” So far, their name has done them well. This past summer Little India played their largest show yet at the Squamish Valley Music Festival, sharing the stage with some very big music names. “We still feel like random dudes. Like why do we keep getting to do these things, play at awesome venues and share our music?” Dixon said. “This took it to a whole new level. We
were hanging out with k-os backstage. We were standing beside Marcus Mumford backstage. It was just crazy insane. “Definitely gave us even more of a taste of what it could be like if we keep going after it. It was inspiring for sure.” The band members all have day jobs for now, but eventually they hope to be doing music full time. “The hardest thing — I’m sure a lot of kids our age experience this — in music is where it doesn’t pay the bills,” Dixon said. “And it’s kind of scary to devote all of our time because its not concrete in what you’re going to be doing for the rest of your life and if its going to pay you. Especially this last year, trying to balance school with work and this. “You can’t have your toes dipped in too many large ponds, and that’s some really good advice we’ve had.” While the band works with the PEAK Performance Project in bootcamps, they are recording an acoustic charity EP to benefit Vancouver organization Mealshare. In their spare time, they are also working on a new full EP to be released in 2016. To check out Little India, visit their website www.littleindiaband.com.

Langley mom shares her journey through stillbirth at Oct. 2 seminar MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
When you are expecting a baby, you picture your child’s life; all the dreams and hopes you have for them and you look forward to both the fun and the challenges that raising a baby brings, said Langley resident Lora Boshoff. In January 2012, Boshoff was nine months pregnant with a girl she and her husband had already named Mia. She and her husband Sean had just purchased their first home in Langley, painted the baby’s room pink, hung up all the cute little clothes they’d purchased. They could not wait to meet her. “A few years prior, we’d had two miscarriages which was very sad, so once we got through the first few trimesters with Mia, we never thought we would hear the tragic words ‘I’m sorry, but we cannot find her heartbeat.’ “It’s those words that stop your world, wondering what went wrong, and if there was something that could have been done to prevent her death,” said Boshoff. Now, nearly three years later, Boshoff is a volunteer with Still Life Canada and is helping organize a one-day conference on stillbirth prevention and care on Friday, Oct. 2 in Vancouver at the SFU Segal Building from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. She will be speaking at the conference. She is encouraging bereaved families and health care professionals to attend. Shortly before she was given the devastating news in 2012, Boshoff remembers noticing she hadn’t felt her baby kicking much, and knew something was wrong. She went to her OBGYN who sent her to hospital, where the couple received the devastating news. “Our sweet baby was gone,” she said. “My due date was in one week, we had just had a baby shower, the gifts still with the tags on and the
excitement of her arrival. Now we were planning her funeral. “We were able to spend time with Mia in the hospital, dressing her and holding her and taking pictures. She was beautiful, looked just like her Daddy, with my heart-shaped lips and chubby cheeks.” The hardest part was leaving the hospital without her, Boshoff said. They had support from a social worker at the hospital. The community nurses called for a few weeks. “I would just cry and they would listen.” Thankfully, the couple had plenty of support from family and friends Boshoff was also sent to the Fraser Health Reproductive Mental Health clinic in Surrey, where Dr. Samantha Saffy, her psychiatrist, helped her work through the grief and pain. Boshoff organized a group session with other families going through stillbirth which was really helpful, she said. “My advice to any families going through the death of a baby is to talk about them as much as you can and to connect with others,” said Boshoff. In 2013, she was introduced to Still Life Canada, a grass-roots organization in Vancouver formed by bereaved parents dealing with stillbirth and neonatal loss. Now Boshoff is a volunteer and along with International Stillbirth Alliance, they are co-hosting the conference this Friday. Researchers, physicians, nurses, midwives, social workers and other health care professionals in attendance from all over the world will join families to raise awareness and issue a call to action toward stillbirth prevention. For more information and to register for the conference visit www.isa2015.ca and for information about local support for families experiencing stillbirth go to www.still-lifecanada.ca.

Schneider grows into role GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
From an early age Jordan Schneider knew pro hockey was the goal. His father, Matthieu Schneider, played in 1,289 NHL games with 10 different teams. So growing up, Jordan and his younger brother Christian saw the NHL life firsthand. “When I was a kid, I always hung out at the rink, going to practices and stuff like that,” Schneider said. “Just growing up around the atmosphere … you get to see the players that you idolize, you get to hang around them and see what it takes to be a pro and everything, that is definitely something that had a huge effect on me.” Schneider was also that stereotypical Canadian, on skates before he was even walking. But while his father had gone the major junior route, playing in the Ontario Hockey League with Cornwall, his son went to junior A, spending three years with the St. Michael’s Buzzers of the Ontario Junior Hockey League. But the stellar reputation of the B.C. Hockey League drew Schneider west last season, with him joining the Langley Rivermen. Schneider said he immediately noticed a difference between the two leagues. “I thought (the BCHL) was a lot faster, the pace of play, and the biggest thing I noticed was the depth on every team,” he explained. “A lot of teams have four good lines that can play every night whereas in the GA RY A HUJ A Langley Time s Ontario league it was more like the top two lines were good and it was kind of Langley Rivermen defenceman Jordan Schneider battles for position with a member of the Coquitlam Express during preseason action at watered down after that.” the Langley Events Centre last month.

Heading into this weekend’s regular season finale, the Raiders are 6-3 while Langley is 5-4. A win — or Kamloops Broncos loss — would send the Rams to Nanaimo for the playoff game. “That is the result of the game right there, the penalty infractions,” said Rams coach Jeff Alamolhoda. “When a game is called in a manner like that, it is impossible to gain momentum or get your players motivated to continue to compete because it seems every time we did something well or got some sort of momentum, we were brought back due to penalties. “It is just hard to maintain a game plan and effort when you are continuously being penalized.” The hardest part is not getting an explanation such as at one point during Saturday’s loss when pass
the turnover battle, two one, but Langley was a menace all game long, sacking quarterback Liam O’Brien eight times while his Rams counterpart Dylan Tucker was hurried and pressured, but never brought down behind the line of scrimmage. But Langley was flagged 21 times for 184 yards compared to just five Raiders penalties for 35 yards. The Raiders also won where it mattered most, on the scoreboard, prevailing 24-18 on Saturday night at McLeod Athletic Park. The game was a battle for second-place in the B.C. Football Conference as the Raiders secured home-field advantage for next month’s semifinal game.

interference was called on the Raiders by one referee, only to have the referees huddle and then say there was no penalty. “We made errors, yes absolutely, but I don’t believe we made 21 errors,” Alamolhoda said. He did say that he has spoken with the head of the referees and will be sending in film of Saturday’s game, as well as a follow-up email. For the season, Langley has been flagged 137 times in nine games for 1,311 yards. By comparison, the opponents have been penalized 95 times for 838 yards in those nine games. Their primary concern heading into the post-season is correcting their penalty problems. “We need to know if we are making errors, how to fix them. And if we are making that many errors, we need to go back to the drawing (board),” he said, adding it is not good for the league if fans are unhappy with the on-field product. “It is not good for our league, for our fans and for football in general, to have a game where it is so one-sided or manipulated by the referees. It no longer becomes entertaining or fun for people to watch.” As for Saturday’s game, despite the penalty issues, the Rams were still in position for a chance to win. The defence was solid, but not consistent. “They had a couple of lapses and those lapses came back to bite us in the butt,” he said. Continued Page 19

by Pospischil in the first quarter for the game’s opening points. The rest of the points were from a safety and three field goals from Brian Hope. The Raiders got one touchdown pass from O’Brien, and the quarterback also called his own number twice for the other two majors. The coaching staff will be preaching perfection as the
Rams get set for Saturday’s regular season finale. Langley needs either a win or a Kamloops Broncos loss to finish in third spot and get another crack at the Raiders. “Even if we are faced with adversity, we have to find a way to overcome it and the only way to overcome is by playing perfect and executing to perfection,” the coach said.

Hutchinson hat trick helps Spartans win again After failing to find the back of the net in the first five games of her Trinity Western career, Spartans rookie Rachel Hutchinson broke out in a big way. The first-year striker was unstoppable, scoring three times in a 17:28 span of the first half on Sunday in Edmonton, leading the Spartans to a 3-0 victory over the Alberta Pandas in Canada West women’s soccer action.
“I’m really pleased for Rachel; she’s doing really well and gives us lots of life and options,” said TWU coach Graham Roxburgh. Coupled with the team’s 3-0 victory on Friday in Prince George against the UNBC Timberwolves, the ninth-ranked Spartans improved to 4-1-1. TWU goaltender Ally Williamson made eight saves against Alberta to pick up her third straight clean sheet.
“Overall, we’re pleased to get two good road wins,” Roxburgh said. “Alberta pushed us pretty hard and I thought they created some problems early on. “I thought we started very sluggish, but our first goal really sparked us to life.” Hutchinson scored in the 22nd, 30th and 39th minutes. Seina Kashima set up the first of the goals and has a Cana-
da-West leading five assists. Kashima also set up a pair of goals from Alessandra Oliverio and Vanessa Kovacs in the first half. Jenaya Robertson added a second-half goal. The Spartans are back on the road this weekend with a pair of games. On Saturday they are in Calgary versus the Mount Royal Cougars and against the Grant MacEwan Griffins on Sunday in Edmonton.
••• The Trinity Western Spartans men’s team returns from their bye week with a pair of home games this weekend at Rogers Field. The Spartans (2-2-0) host the Thompson Rivers WolfPack on Friday night and then the UBC Okanagan Heat on Saturday night. Both matches begin at 7:15 p.m.

Knights fall again, lose 6-1 to Kodiaks The Langley Knights struggles continued with a 6-1 home-ice loss to the Aldergrove Kodiaks on Monday night. The game was played at the George Preston Recreation Centre with Langley falling to 1-5-0-1 in the Pacific Junior Hockey League. Jackson Waniek scored the lone Langley goal but it came midway through the third period with his team down 6-0. The Knights were coming off a 9-3 loss to the Mission City Outlaws on Sept. 24 — a game which was halted early in the third period after an on-ice brawl escalated into Langley coach John Craighead jumping onto the Mission City bench — as well as a 7-1 loss to the Ridge Meadows Flames on Friday night. Against Aldergrove, Waniek’s goal — the third straight game he has scored — broke the shutout bid of Naythan Lange. The Langley Minor Hockey product stopped 22 shots as the junior B rookie was looking for his first shutout. Another Langley product on the Kodiaks roster, Quinncy Leroux, led Aldergrove with a pair of goals. The Knights will look to snap their slump tomorrow (Thursday) night as they host the Abbotsford Pilots at 7:30 p.m.
