SPCA seizes 66 dogs from Langley property Breeder is expected to face criminal charges D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
In what the BC SPCA is calling one of the largest puppy mill cases it has ever investigated, 66 sick and neglected dogs have been seized from a Langley breeder. At a Tuesday morning (Feb. 9) press conference in Vancouver, the agency confirmed it removed the 32 adult dogs and 34 puppies on Feb. 4, including Old English sheepdogs, Bernese mountain dogs, soft-coated Wheaten terriers, poodles and Portuguese water dogs. An SPCA statement said the dogs had serious “medical and psychological issues” including broken bones, missing ears and eyes, infections and abscesses, dental disease, severe matting and overgrown nails. The starving dogs were living in small, stacked crates and cages, in dark, unheated buildings. “It is inconceivable to think that anyone allowed these innocent animals to suffer like this,” said Marcie Moriarty, chief
prevention and enforcement officer for the BC SPCA. “We have to make it clear to unscrupulous breeders who sacrifice animals on the altar of profit that this type of neglect and cruelty is not acceptable to British Columbians.” Moriarty said the SPCA will be recommending criminal charges. The dogs and puppies are being held at the SPCA shelter in Vancouver and undergoing veterinary care towels and dog beds to help keep the dogs and puppies warm and comfortable. Items can be dropped off at the Vancouver SPCA shelter at 1205 East 7 Ave. Moriarty said that the raid on the breeder was the result of a tip from a member of the public. She urged people to call the BC SPCA animal cruelty hotline at 1-855-622-7722 to report “any suspicious situations where animals may be in distress.” The non-profit BC SPCA investigates more than 10,000 complaints of animal cruelty across B.C. each year.

Salmon River advocates voice pipeline fears to energy board MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti m e s Re po r t e r
Langley’s Salmon River Enhancement Society made its case regarding the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion during a 40-minute presentation to the National Energy Board on Jan. 23. The local environmental group was one of several intervenors to speak at the hearings, held in Burnaby Jan. 19-29. “I think we got our points across,” SRES director Annabel Young told the Times, following their delegation. “We just really want the National Energy Board to put some real value into the environmental impacts and what’s going to happen. They need to really pay attention to that, especially because climate around the world is becoming more and more important and people are more aware of it.” Young and biologist Dr. Marvin Rosenau spoke to the NEB about the environmental impacts of twinning Kinder Morgan’s 1,150 km Trans Mountain oil pipeline from Edmonton to Burnaby. In Langley, the pipeline will affect the Salmon River, West Creek, Nathan Creek and Yorkson Creek. Many of these areas still have not fully recovered from construction of the first pipeline in 1953, said Rosenau, who was hired by SRES to conduct scientific research using a $12,000 grant from the NEB. “The edge habitats of the streams, all the brush and trees and salmon berry bushes and ferns, they’re all missing,” Rosenau said. “Those are critical parts of fish habitat along stream edges. It’s missing in virtually all of the (pipe) crossings.” Part of this problem could be mitigated by installing pipe with “trenchless technology,” such as directional drilling. By pushing the pipe below the stream, “you don’t mess up all the vegetation, you don’t mess up the banks, you don’t mess up the gravel and cobbles and all of the good stuff that fish use,” Rosenau said. With other methods, such as

Crews work on a project to twin the existing TransMountain Pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby. On Jan. 23, members of the Salmon River Enhancement Society spoke during National Energy Board hearings, to voice their concerns about the effect construction could have on fish-bearing streams and second-growth forests. trench crossings, fish habitats are “basically destroyed” by workers cutting a gouge across the stream and using riprap — or large, sharp blasted rock — to control stream erosion, he added. According to the Trans Mountain website, construction will incorporate the use of trenchless technologies in “select locations to minimize potential disruption or environmental impact.” Rosenau also says Trans Mountain has not provided a compensation plan for the loss of second growth trees — some nearing 100 years old — in the 45-metre section that will be stripped to make way for construction equipment. “The way the design is, we think this is going to be basically obliterated,” Rosenau said. “Those features, those habitat attributes, really are going to be lost. And they’re not going to grow back in five years, they’re not going to grow back in 10 years or even 50
years. “So in order to basically provide some sort of response, some sort of compensation, some sort of offset, what we suggest is that the proponent buys up land and puts it into a protective status.” In some areas of Florida, for example, for every acre of wetland destroyed, the proponent must purchase another 40 acres to be preserved in a protected zone, Rosenau added. But perhaps the most frustrating part about presenting the SRES scientific reports to the NEB, is the fact they have to conduct their own reports in the first place, Young said. They believe the proponent’s scientific reports take an activist approach and are not objective. “It’s in the interest of Trans Mountain to have provided good science reports so that the Energy Board can make decisions with their reports, and the reports of in-
tervenors,” Young said. “So what’s happened is it’s really been the intervenors’ expense, personal expense, and time and money — even though there was some funding — (to) put together mostly very, very good, very rigorous reports.” SRES was not allowed to cross examine the Trans Mountain scientists, and could only access information through formal requests. “I think the frustrating thing was the refusal of the National Energy Board to force the proponent, to force Trans Mountain, to answer the questions,” she said. “We couldn’t really rigorously ask questions to Trans Mountain.” In a letter to the Times, Kinder Morgan Canada (KMC) president Ian Anderson said KMC has completed “years of planning, scientific studies and meaningful consultation.” Continued Page 4
Doctors were unable to revive a missing two-year-old girl who was found in a pond on her family’s fiveacre property Saturday. Langley RCMP, fire and search and rescue were called to the Robertson Crescent location around 3 p.m. that day after the child was reported missing. RCMP Sgt. Garth Huziak said the child was located after a three-foot-deep pond on the property was pumped out. She was rushed to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver where efforts to resuscitate her were unsuccessful. The coroner’s service has taken over the investigation. Sgt. Huziak said there was nothing to suggest foul play or anything criminal was involved in the death of the child, instead calling it a tragic accident.

Feds add pipeline consultations, delay Kinder Morgan decision JEFF NAGEL Black Press
The federal government is ordering extra consultations with First Nations and other communities separate from the work of the National Energy Board as part of its prescription to rebuild public confidence in the pipeline approval process. It doesn't halt the NEB hearings underway on Kinder Morgan's proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline twinning, nor does it delay the NEB's deadline to deliver a recommendation to cabinet by May. But the federal government has given itself a four-month extension of its legislated deadline to make a final decision on Trans Mountain — that must now happen by December instead of August. The government had previously said it wouldn't force proponents like Kinder Morgan to restart the approval process. A separate ministerial representative will be appointed to directly consult communities, including First Nations, during the extension period and report back to Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr. Funding will be provided for First Nations to participate. Direct and upstream greenhouse gas emissions linked to the projects will now be

Late last month the federal government ordered extra consultations into the project. assessed, but not the downstream emissions when fossil fuels are burned in destination countries. The climate change analysis for each project, to be conducted by the federal environment department, will be made public. The changes effectively add an extra layer of review to plug what the government says were major gaps in the flawed NEB review process left by the Harper Conservatives. "Without the confidence of Canadians, none of these projects will move forward,"
Carr said. He said final project decisions by cabinet will be based on science, traditional knowledge of indigenous people and other relevant evidence. Carr wouldn't say how much weight would be given factors such as climate change impacts or aboriginal concerns, but he cited past court rulings on the Crown's duty to consult First Nations as one reason for the change. The NEB heard final arguments of intervenors in the Trans Mountain review last month and aboriginal leaders have repeatedly criticized
what they say has been a lack of meaningful consultation on the project. The new rules, billed as a transition step ahead of new legislation to reform the NEB, will apply not just to new pipelines but to all federally reviewed projects. Carr said the process won't satisfy polarized critics who believe projects should be built either immediately or never, but will improve cabinet's ability to render a decision. "There are all kinds of Canadians who want to be satisfied that the process that led to a decision was a good one, a fair one and they had their say." The Wilderness Committee criticized the government's failure to include downstream carbon emissions that make up the bulk of the climate impacts of new pipelines. "A true climate test would leave regulators with no choice but to reject these projects,” said campaigner Peter McCartney. “Tacking on some window dressing doesn’t make these projects any less of a climate catastrophe.” Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson said he's concerned pipeline construction may be delayed, but agreed public confidence in the process is crucial.
‘Measures in place to protect ecosystems’ From Page 3
“The input and feedback we’ve gathered has created a stronger, safer and more responsive project. Safety is the cornerstone of everything we do, and our team has carefully developed mea-
sures to protect the health of our workers, communities and ecosystems,” Anderson wrote. “And, 89 per cent of the proposed pipeline expansion parallels existing pipeline or utility infrastructure, minimizing community impacts.”
Anderson said Langley residents will see “significant benefits” should the expansion be approved, with the municipality collecting an additional $575,000 in taxes. Phase two of the NEB hearings continued in Calgary last week.

Police taped off a section of 256 Street near 24 Avenue Tuesday after some plastic containers with potentially hazardous chemicals were discovered in a ditch. Haz-Mat specialists were called in to dispose of the containers. It was not immediately clear if the chemicals were related to a clandestine drug lab. become a favourite spot for criminals dumping the toxic remains of meth labs. But in this case, said Jenkins, it’s not likely to be that. If the metal drums are leaking, a different set of protocols is followed to make sure the contaminants are cleaned up, he said. Illegal dumping in Langley Township has been a growing problem over the past few
years as landfill fees increase. In April 2015, Township council approved spending $250,000 on an anti-dumping campaign that included adding one staff for a year to co-ordinate litter blitzes, to catch offenders, to review surveillance camera footage and to educate residents about dumping fees. Last year, it is estimated illegal dumping cost Township taxpayers around $400,000.

Someone dumped metal drums filled with an unknown substance at locations throughout Langley last week. On Wednesday, the Township fire department called a dangerous goods handling company to haul away several sealed drums that had been dumped at 256 Street and 24 Avenue. On Thursday, the Township fire department was called to retrieve two sealed 45-gallon drums at 232 Street, near 64 Avenue, near the Salmon River. A couple more drums were found down the street on the same day. They have been sent for testing. “We believe someone has been dumping these barrels around town; they are related,” said Township deputy fire chief Russ Jenkins. “But all the drums we have found are sealed and not leaking.” There is an organic matter inside mixed with soil and sand, but Jenkins couldn’t say if it is remnants of a meth lab. Because the barrels are sealed, they won’t know until test results are released. That could take a week. Over the years, ditches along Langley’s rural roads have

Is there a definitive link between hearing loss and Alzheimer’s?
$500 OFF
Poor hearing not only affects your everyday life, it can affect your long-term brain health!
your purchase of a pair of hearing aids
Many studies have shown a significant link between hearing loss and dementia, which may lead to Alzheimer’s. Processing auditory information uses a significant portion of the brain. Sound travels through your ear to nerves that send signals to the brain. The sounds are processed in the brain putting the information from your ears into speech. But, if the brain cannot hear that information due to hearing loss, then brain activity lessens. This causes a reduction in gray matter of the brain over time. In other words, your brain shrinks! Patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s can receive appropriate hearing loss treatment, and in turn, reduce their cognitive decline. Therefore, it is imperative that those being diagnosed with dementia have hearing testing to determine if hearing loss is contributing to the patient’s dementia. The symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer’s can mimic hearing loss.
The Facts: • 83% of patients diagnosed with dementia also have hearing loss. • A mild hearing loss doubles the risk of dementia and a moderate hearing loss increases the risk of dementia fivefold.
• Mild hearing loss is linked to brain atrophy. Those with hearing loss have less gray matter and decreased brain activity in their auditory cortex. • Early treatment is essential in restoring cognitive function for speech perception.
WHEN TREATED WITH HEARING AIDS: • 33% of patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s were reclassified to a less severe category. • Improvement in memory of patients with dementia increased, hearing aids can boost cognitive function 50% within a year.

George Roman promises he will promote improved public safety, a revitalized downtown, better transportation options for citizens and fewer train traffic delays. He said he will also seek tax exemptions for the Langley Food Bank and other non-profit organizations, charities and churches as well as creating a business friendly environment that includes more green policies. “My vision is to see Langley a safer city with thriving businesses and a place to put down roots and raise a family,” Roman said. The city has to address the safety concerns of citizens and business owners and develop strategies to reduce the suffering of homeless individuals, Roman said. “Police must have a greater street presence, increase bike patrols, implement effective crime prevention policies, direct more resources to hot spots of crime and encourage block watch programs.” He supports having a multi-agency team engage the homeless population in Langley. “This blended outreach team will play an active role in working with people who experience homelessness to help them recover from mental health and/or addictions issues and gain access to available services.” Roman is an investment advisor and former Senior Auditor at PricewaterhouseCoopers with over 15 years of experience. His educational background includes a Bachelor of Commerce with Honours, a Diploma in German, and successfully passing the rigorous US Certified Public Accountant exam. “I have the experience and skills to hit the road running and get the job done,” Roman said. “Having lived and worked on three different continents has given me outstanding skills in communicating and working with people from different backgrounds and cultures.” Roman is a current member of the Langley Advisory Planning Commission as well as the Canadian Pacific Railway Advisory Panel and a former member of the Public Safety Advisory Committee, the Recreation, Culture and Public Art Advisory Committee and the Youth Council. He also volunteers for many community events such as the Christmas Parade, Community Day, and BC Youth Week. “All of this has given me firsthand experience with the challenges facing us, and I have been encouraged by endorsements of prominent community figures, such as Sandy Dunkley for my candidacy for City Council.” He suggests the City should “redesign the langley’s finest fresh seafood market wild • sustainable • chemical free

OPINION
Brenda Anderson | 604.514.6751 | newsroom@langleytimes.com
Ditch dumping costly practice Illegal dumping cost Township of Langley taxpayers an estimated $400,000 last year. That’s just south of half a million dollars the municipality shelled out to pick up someone else’s trash — garbage the dumper was either too lazy, too dishonest or too cheap to dispose of properly. Tipping fees continue to rise (as they did again at the beginning of last month) and it looks as though people have found a way to save themselves a bit of cash by cutting out the middle man and creating their own personal garbage dumps. That they’re doing so at the expense of both the environment and their neighbours doesn’t appear to enter the equation. Instead of paying to drop off large items at transfer stations, it’s clearly far less hassle to find a stretch of deserted road and toss everything from bags of household trash to mattresses in the ditch. There were three incidents last week alone where Township crews were called out to retrieve discarded barrels. Two had been left on the banks of the Salmon River, according to a resident who called The Times. It was unclear whether the metal drums contained remnants of a clandestine drug lab, though it’s certainly not outside the realm of possibility. In the case of the barrels, tipping fees may not have weighed into the decision to dump because drums in excess of 205 litres are banned from landfills, whether they’re full or empty. Counteracting the practice is proving difficult. Last April, Township council approved a $250,000 anti-dumping campaign that included adding one staff member for a year to co-ordinate litter blitzes, catch offenders, review surveillance camera footage and educate residents about dumping fees. Assuming that most dumping is done in the wee hours, under the cover of darkness, it seems unlikely that too many offenders will be caught in the act. That’s too bad, because in the absence of some pretty damning evidence discovered within the garbage itself, it seems like that might be the only way to definitively identify a culprit and force them to clean up their act.

colour your outlook on life. It might also explain why Quebeckers, who famously embrace winter — throwing a giant festival in its honour each year — topped the list of happiest Canadians with a “very happy” rating of 22 per cent. B.C., where half of all residents could conceivably go an entire winter without glimpsing a snowflake, came second at 20 per cent. Atlantic Canada and Alberta were at the bottom of the “very happy” pile, with nine and 12 per cent, respectively. It’s not surprising, as one colleague noted: “They don’t have jobs.” No question the economy is going to play into our overall happiness. Poor health, finances and relationships are major sources of stress and unhappiness for many of us. So the question is, what do we do about it? Do we carry on fretting or make a serious effort to change the things about our lives that we don’t like? Perhaps we follow the lead of the Golden Oldies and focus on the aspects that give us the most satisfaction. But is mind over matter enough? Can we simply will ourselves to be happier? Then again, it may be best to come back and ask us that in the spring.

Langley has many worthy nominees
Responding to an article in the Jan. 29 issue of the Langley Times, which revealed that skyrocketing hay prices are causing financial troubles for many horse owners, writer Frances Steinfeld places the blame squarely on Township council. She says allowing large houses to be built in the middle of fields has drastically reduced those fields’ capacity to produce food crops for both animals and humans. Lang l ey Ti m e s file photo
Poorly planned land development is directly to blame for high cost of hay Editor: The front page article in the Langley Times on Jan. 29 concerning animals that are starving due to the shortage of hay discusses a very bad situation, which is directly attributable to the planning of the municipal council. So many fertile hay fields have one house built in the middle. Older houses and barns were built in the corner of the acreage to allow for maximum
production from the remaining land. With huge mansions covering the best soil, you wonder why there is a shortage of feed? The large hay fields that for many years produced excellent quality grass to feed dairy cattle along 56 Avenue near Fraser Valley Auction, now have enormous houses destroying any productivity. When food for the people is scarce, will
ex-farmer Mayor Froese and council wonder why that is? Does anyone care that fewer trees will mean more carbon dioxide in the air? So now everyone will find it hard to breathe when trees are hacked down in Brookswood and Fernridge for development. This is progress? FRANCES STEINFELD,
Editor: I was very pleased to see the letter in your paper (The Times, Jan. 29) seeking nominations for this year’s Flowerdew and Arnason Awards. As a previous nominee, I know what an honor it is to be nominated for such a prestigious award. As an active volunteer in our community, I also know first hand the number of volunteers required to make any event successful and in Langley, our volunteer base is incredible and I’ve had the privilege of working with many of them. I also know, there are a lot of people whose names could be brought forward to be recognized for their volunteerism in the Township of Langley. I sincerely encourage everyone to take some time out of their busy schedules to put together a nomination package to recognize the dedicated volunteer or volunteer duo they know for one of these two awards. The deadline is Feb. 12 and the nomination application is on line on the TOL website. MICHAEL JACKSTIEN, LANGLEY
ALDERGROVE
Fight for what you want, but try to be civil about it Editor: I’m a proud resident of Langley. This is a great place to live, but sometimes my neighbours make me shake my head. It seems like every pocket of Langley has its controversial issue, which rallies loud haters. I’m all for fighting for what you believe in; a pool for your community, a new community plan for your neighbourhood, protesting the rapid expansion of a
particular area with the lack of amenities to support it. Or how about a new building in a historically significant village? But why are people so terrible to each other when expressing themselves? I’ve seen better behaviour at my grandkid’s hockey game. There is a new building being proposed in Fort Langley. My understanding is that (even before people knew what
it might look like) some had their knickers in a knot. I find it weird because there are already two other proposals in town with questionable density and height issues but nobody has said anything about them. A local restaurant is wanting to build an addition to its building but nobody says nothing about that 100-plus seat restaurant having only nine parking spaces.
It seems clear that because some people didn’t like the Coulter Berry building that they are automatically hating anything else that the same builder builds. In fact, there are over 700 people that follow a Facebook page dedicated to allowing the opposition to say dreadful things about him. What has this world turned to when people cannot even keep
an open mind on a project that nobody has seen before they start slinging mud at each other? And why do 700 people think that it’s OK to be associated with that? It makes me sick that such a beautiful place like Langley has such unkind neighbours. SUSAN T. MORRIS, LANGLEY

You & The Law
PRESENTS Can you keep your family law judgment private? When a marriage breaks up and you end up battling in court, it can get ugly. Lots of private, highly personal details about your family situation may come out and, however untrue, nasty and embarrassing allegations often fly both ways.
The father argued all this dirty family laundry was highly personal. He said keeping the reasons for judgment from the public would be in the best interests of the children.
But the B.C. court said it’s more important that courts be open. Courts are not private forums, and this also applies to family law cases. It’s not enough that there may be unwanted publicity or that the trial may result in embarrassment. A high threshold of harm has to be The parents had split after more than proved to qualify for an exception to the 20 years of marriage. They were fighting overriding “open court” principle. The over guardianship and parenting arrangements for their four children (ages situation here didn’t justify keeping the reasons for judgment from the public. 18 to 11 at trial). Recently, a father involved in a highconflict family law dispute asked our B.C. Supreme Court to “seal” its reasons for judgment to keep the contents from the public.
The trial showed that over time, this family situation had become seriously dysfunctional, not only as between the parents, but also as between the children and (mostly) their mother, who had largely been responsible for looking after them before the break-up. Lots of unflattering information came out. The father, who was highly successful financially, had long ago pleaded guilty to a serious charge (for which he said he got an unconditional discharge). He said his ex was badmouthing him about the criminal matter in their community after they broke up, though he’d told her about it before they got married. While married, he’d also had an affair lasting many years. The mother alleged sexual misbehaviour by the father with the children (accusations the court categorically rejected). And the troubled, broken relationship between the mother and her older children – involving screaming, nasty swear words, disrespect and physical confrontations – was fully aired.
The court took some steps to protect the children’s anonymity in its published reasons by identifying the children only as C1 to C4 (and also identified the parents’ names by initials only). But the judge observed that it’s difficult to insulate children from the effects of a published judgment. One of the drawbacks of sorting out family disputes by going to court is that it’s very hard to keep things confidential. There are rules of court that limit access to matrimonial court files, but once you’re in open court, the hearing is public and you take your chances. This is just one more reason to consider using other options like mediation and/ or arbitration – ask your lawyer about alternatives to going to court to sort out your family law dispute.

Alex Hope students form H.A.L.O. to help Critter Care
MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter
When four Alex Hope Elementary Grade 4 students read about the many orphaned black bear cubs arriving at Langley’s Critter Care rehabilitation centre this summer, they knew they wanted to help. The students — Jordis Klyne, Danica Bateman, Ryan Burns and Raymond Shi — who take part in the Destination Imagination program, worked together to make Critter Care their project of the year. According to Nadean Vonk, an intermediate resource teacher at Alex Hope, the students contacted Critter Care themselves to find out what they could do. Critter Care responded with an invitation to tour the south Langley rehabilitation centre and learn about what they do. “We got to go to Critter Care and see lots of the animals, especially the raccoons, there were a lot of them,” said Ryan. “We could smell the skunks,” said Jordis, holding her nose. But the kids didn’t get to see any of the 32 bear cubs that are now residing at the centre. The public is never allowed to see the bears. Having as little human interaction as possible helps with the animals’ successful release into the wild. The kids did get to watch all the volun-

Returning from Critter Care with a list of needed items, the students moved into action. They call their group H.A.L.O. — Helping Animals Live On. They decided to do a schoolwide paper/household goods drive, collecting items to help all the animals, including receiving blankets, baby rattles for the raccoons, toiletries, dog food, Canadian Tire money, cleaning products and more. They put out boxes with signs and were allowed to make announcements over the school’s PA system, and speak to their classes about what they wanted to do. “We had so many

kids bring stuff we had to get more boxes,” said Danica. “We also decided to make the drive for all of January so everyone had a chance to bring something.” The students admitted to raiding their own bathrooms of toilet paper. Now they have more than five large boxes overflowing with items that they plan to deliver to Critter Care. The items will be put to good use. “We have twice as many bears than we normally do,” said Maureen Binnie, director at Critter Care. “Most of the bears have gone into hibernation, except for our littlest ones — they are up and about.” Come spring, when the bears wake up, it’s going to be busy at Critter Care, said Binnie. “They will have to be fed, and the biggest ones will be the first to be re-released back to the wild,” she said. Binnie said they had to put six small cubs, including Tiny Tim, who came to Critter Care as the smallest cub (weighing just 12 pounds) in the bobcat Hoover’s former enclosure.
Hoover died a few years ago. But bears like to climb the chainlink and play around, pushing against the fencing. “We are needing to repair a lot of our fencing,” she said. It’s drives like the one the Alex Hope students did that really make them smile, said Binnie. “It’s children like that who are going to keep these animals taken care of for generations to come,” she said. “We have children choosing to donate to us instead of getting birthday presents. It’s just wonderful.” With the drought shortening the berry season last summer, more bears came down the mountains and into communities, resulting in starving cubs and an influx coming to Critter Care. “We really want to thank everyone who stepped up to help us and to donate,” said Binnie. The Alex Hope students will present their HALO project at the Destination Imagination Fraser Valley competition on Feb. 27. If they win, they will present their project for judging at provincials.

Many refugees also start their lives in Canada with government loans to pay for their transportation here. Only those from Syria have had their loans waived by the federal government. “Let’s not forget that a lot is lost when we just talk about sponsorships and ... remember that they are people, and people who need refuge,” Shigali said.

“They are people like us — like me and you — and in the end they are looking for community, for belonging. They’re looking for ... a place to call home, and when we step back and think about those things it becomes a bit easier to engage in sponsorship.” LCSS plans to host monthly meetings with its volunteers to continue the education and planning processes.

The Douglas Recreation Centre was once again packed on Jan. 28 as volunteers gathered for Langley Community Services Society’s second meeting to discuss the Syrian refugee crisis. Although Langley has still not been named as an official refugee destination, LCSS has already welcomed its first Syrian family, and anticipates at least four more families will arrive soon. The focus of the meeting was to explain who the refugees are and how sponsorship works in Canada, followed by a hands-on community asset mapping session. Canada is the only country with a formal private sponsorship program to help refugees from around the world. People who seek refuge in Canada include Syrians, Iraqis, Iranians, Eritreans, Ethiopians, Congolese, Burundians, South Sudanese, Somalis, Burmese, Co-
lombians and LGBQT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, questioning, transgendered) people, said Edward Shigali of Mennonite Central Committee (MCC). Currently, MCC is working on bringing at least 24 refugees to Langley from several different countries. “The Syrian situation has brought a lot of awareness to the plight of people around the world, (but) we need to help all of the people who need help,” said Shigali, who came to Canada from Kenya in 1997. Private sponsorship is a large commitment, he explained. Sponsoring groups are obligated to help the refugees for a full 12 months at a cost of about $12,600 per person, and $27,000 for a family of four. They must also provide social and emotional support, helping the refugees to fully integrate into their new communities. Government-sponsored refugees by contrast are fully funded by the government.

BSS takes on theatrical toilet tale In a future plagued by drought, Urinetown The Musical explores the comedic consequences of extreme water conservation M IRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Tim e s Re po r t e r
Their cardboard signs say it all. “Pee Shall Overcome.” “My Pee Is Free.” Yes, Brookswood Secondary School’s latest musical production is exactly what you think it’s about. Urinetown The Musical, beginning tonight at the high school theatre, takes audiences on a musical journey to a dystopian future, where 20 years of drought have led to extreme water consumption controls, and a ban on private toilets. Forced to pay corporate conglomerate Urine Good Company a fee every time someone wishes to use the public washrooms, a civil revolt brews. “The common question that we get asked is — of course — Urinetown? As in pee?” said BSS drama teacher Gordon Hamilton. “Why would you do a show about pee? Well, because it’s funny.” The stage is painted dark, with an industrial feel, as student actors dressed in tattered costumes hobble across. The play opens with Public Amenity #9 — the poorest, filthiest urinal in town. The hero, Bobby Strong, works at this urinal owned by the corrupt Caldwell B. Cladwell, and can’t help but think that there must be something better in life. “It has a message to it,” said Sheri Eyre, co-drama teacher at BSS. “The idea of overconsumption, the idea of what
it means to live in a world with other people, the idea of greed and capitalism and that running amok. “The guys that wrote the musical wanted to do an epic theatre with a message, but they also had an incredible sense of humour. So the show has this message but underneath a lot of really, really funny songs and great moments.” Since the original production opened on Broadway in New York in 2001, Urinetown — although not popularly toured in other theatres — is considered one of the top 100 Broadway plays of all time, and one of the best productions of the last 20 years. It is also widely remembered for its unique role in history — opening at the same time the 9/11 terror attacks took place. “A lot of Broadway shows actually closed but these guys kept going and they said it was an amazing experience because people were so hungry to feel normal again and to feel like New York was going to be OK that they kept running the show,” Eyre said. With influences from other Broadway shows including Les Misérables, West Side Story and Fiddler on the Roof, many of the musical numbers have a Bob Fosse feel, contradicting the harsh environment of the set, Eyre said. “It is something that a small theatre like ours can do, and has that sort of more intimate feel than say something that is a

Using the talents of 54 students from Grade 8 to 12, the BSS production has been in the works since the school year began in September. Everything is student run, from the stage production and set building, to the live 12-piece orchestra. This is also the first time BSS has offered a musical theatre program, meaning the students can now get credits towards graduation for their participation in the play. “We always put a high caliber out,” Hamilton said.
“We try to run it as professional as we can, and our expectations are quite high for what we put on stage. “We want the students to feel that this is something that they have put their very best into,” Eyre added. “They are now seeing what that is as it all comes to fruition.” Part of this come from choosing a musical with the right type of roles for the group of students signed up for the program. “The music is challenging, the character work is challenging so that’s what also gives us more reason

for choosing something like Urinetown, because we want it to be a challenge,” Hamilton said. The students are also encouraged to bring their own quirkiness and improvisations to their characters. “Whether they have hundreds of lines, or if they just two, they can bring their own stuff to the roles, so that it creates that lovely feeling,” Eyre said. “And they do, once they’re given that ability and that freedom and they see how fun it is. “Every night we’re surprised by something.”

Montreal musician Cécile Doo-Kingué is returning to the Water Shed Arts Cafe in Walnut Grove for a small, intimate concert on Feb. 11. Considered one of Canada’s “most electrifying and versatile guitarists,” her performance in Langley last year was “outstanding,” said Water Shed manager Naomi Lippett. “In the end we had to move the tables back so
that people could dance,” she said in an email to The Times. “We’re super excited about having her back.” Originally from New York City, Doo-Kingué is first generation from Cameroon, and plays a mix of blues, afro-folk and 1960s and ’70s soul. In February, 2015 she released her third solo album, Anybody Listening Pt. 1: Monologues, and has shared the stage with Blind Boys of Alabama, Bernard Purdie, Tricia Foster, Scarlett Hane and many more. Doors for the Feb. 11 concert open at 7 p.m., cost is $15. Contact Water Shed Cafe for more information. Email info@watershedartscafe.com or call 604-882-0651.

I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future.

Do you remember what Sunday dinner used to smell like? The aroma of roast chicken or beef wafting through the house? The rich flavors and succulent gravies that they made? Returning the family to the table doesn’t have to be a daunting task. In fact, it can be just as delicious as it used to be. Eugene tells us customers say “this is how roast beef used to taste!” Eugene Vandenberg and Eleanor Cox have been bringing in some of the most exciting local and international products that make healthy eating simple, fun and delicious. Eugene began his career in the retail/wholesale meat processing plant, then ran a sausage kitchen for some time. Eleanor has proven retail history as she used to own her own clothing store, however following her love of cooking, she became a head cook at northern work camps, cooking for over 100 people daily. She honed her skills as a pastier chef for Delta Hotels, and she is extremely passionate about cooking using the finest real ingredients available. Together, they combined their passion for delicious, well produced food — sourcing out the finest meats, deli items, cheeses and condiments. Then, they listened to their customers about what was important to them regarding meat quality and choices, and spent some time educating themselves about the choices avail-
able in the marketplace (regarding organic vs naturally raised) After that, they added a huge selection of gluten free products, dry goods and condiments from around the world to spice up the table with international flavors. Today, they’ve created one of the most exciting butcher and gourmet food product stores available in the Lower Mainland. A loyal customer tells us, “One of my favorite things to do is to “go in blind” (without a specific menu planned) I walk in the door and let my imagination “run wild” I’ve tried their variety of unusual, and non-medicated specialty exotic meat such as kangaroo, wild boar and duck. The wild boar and cheese quesadilla I made last week was a hit at my dinner party. And their helpful staff will always be there to lend some great advice, alternatives, or let you know when your favorite sausage is being made. I love their Andouille sausage, a Louisiana treat rarely found in Vancouver.” Another says, “This is where I can feel confident that I’m serving my family the best. I can also find the cuts of meat that I can’t easily find elsewhere.” What continues to make Heritage Meats stand out in the Lower Mainland is the quality of their meat products and choices. There’s a full selection of natural aged beef, chicken,

Get inspired with an amazing selection of healthy traditional and international meats to made in house sausages & bacon
...healthy can be so delicious pork, ham, lamb, turkey. They try to locally source their meats as much as possible — JD Farms supplies the turkey products, Gelderman Farms and all of the chicken is from Abbotsford. The hand-crafted sausage and bacon are made in-house. And they’re happy to custom cut to your needs. The beef at Heritage Meats is 30 day dryaged, giving it that melt-in-your-mouth quality. All their non-medicated meat comes from animals that have been naturally farmed. Naturally raised livestock receive no antibiotics or growth hormones and are fed an entirely vegetarian diet with no animal byproducts. It’s important to Eugene and Eleanor to take the extra steps necessary to ensure that the animals raised with this process come with documentation with every delivery. It’s another reason why you can feel confident that the meat you buy from Heritage Meats is the finest quality available. Complete your meal with Eleanor’s fresh selection of salads and deli items. With their ready-made dinner items (such as soup stocks, chicken penne, or baked meat pies, home made dips), produced at Heritage’s commercial kitchen, you’ll be confident that not only will it taste delicious, but it is healthy. With a touch of love here, and a dash of spice there it’s just like home cooking. And with no nitrates, preservatives, or

MSG, you are getting the freshest products in their healthiest forms. She’s also aware that many people are gluten sensitive, so she creates as many gluten-free and dairy options as possible. “I can’t stomach those foods with all those preservatives in them,” said Eleanor. “And everything that I make for my customers, I eat myself.” While there, you can be tempted by the large selection of cheeses from around the world. How about ribs cooked right on-site, or pepperoni hand-made by Eugene? Real bacon, cured and smoked is so delicious, and made locally without nitrates. “In our eyes, it’s worth all the time you put into this for the quality that you get,” said Eugene. “You just can’t beat it.” It’s more than just quality meats, it’s a passion. You don’t have to be afraid to host a meal this season for people with dietary challenges such as gluten free, lactose or chemical-free diets. Just choose from their huge selection gluten and dairy-free products from local suppliers. Let the wonderful people at Heritage Meats get you passionate for cooking once again! Get inspired, and embrace what Heritage Meats has known for over 26 years — real ingredients raised and produced with love and attention will satisfy everyone and make your family and you really happy, and healthy.

TIPS FROM YOUR TILING EXPERTS Porcelain has a no-slip grip and incredible strength making it a common flooring choice. It is a extremely durable and water-resistant material that can even be used outside. Ceramic tile is a good fit in bathrooms or other moisture-rich environments. It’s easy to clean and install, it’s waterproof, sturdy, and is a great value for the price. Designers also like ceramic tile because its surface is ideal for paint or decal ornamentation. Natural Stone When it comes to durability, natural stone is the crème de la crème. It has a completely natural beauty, and since no two stones are exactly alike, a natural pattern will emerge on tiled floors or walls. Pay attention to maintenance requirements when choosing stone. Some stones need to be sealed, otherwise they’ll stay porous and can become stained or even crumble. A smooth stone works well for kitchen clean-ups, but a textured stone floor will help prevent slips on a bathroom floor.

I want to take the time to thank you for the fantastic new Rogue I now drive and LOVE! I like most people dread the thought of coming to a car dealership and being cornered into a something I’m not interested in. However that was far from the case when working with Rena at Jonker Nissan. From the follow-up email to my initial inquiry she was professional and listened to what was interested in. She provided me with several different options with various different price points being sure to point out the different benefits of each option. She was delightful to work with; I didn’t expect to purchase a new vehicle that day but Rena instilled confidence in your organization and the vehicle I wanted so I was very comfortable making that decision immediately and I have not suffered buyer’s remorse on that decision, quite the opposite...I love the new Rogue!

We live in Abbotsford but because of how nice Vonn was on the phone we decided to go see him the next day.

2015 NISSAN SENTRA
Over the last year, as we prepared to transition to retirement, we visited most automotive dealers in the Surrey/Langley/White Rock area in search of the right combination of vehicles that would best serve us. In the spring, we had the good fortune to meet with Les Flewelling from Jonker Nissan. Les presented us with a knowledgeable, straight forward and honest approach. Les quickly gained our trust. In May we took possession of our 2015 Nissan Murano and in September a 2015 Nissan Micra. Between our two purchases, Les also sold one of our children a previously owned Nissan. In retrospect, there is absolutely no doubt that Les and the Jonker Nissan team that supports him was the right choice for us and our family. We have great confidence in recommending Jonker Nissan to others. John

It was the thrill of a lifetime for Langley’s Nevan Coburn. The six-year-old attended the 2016 NHL All-Star game in Nashville, where he got the chance to meet players such as Vancouver Canucks’ Daniel Sedin (far left) and former Canuck Roberto Luongo. Coburn was at the game as part of the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada. Coburn was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2011 but is now cancer-free. He attended the game with his parents and little brother. Su bmitte d pho to s
Experience ‘absolutely amazing’ Nevan Coburn got the thrill of a lifetime at the NHL All-Star game in Nashville GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
Nevan Coburn walked into the dressing room and was speechless. As an aspiring hockey player, the six-year-old is sure to see his fair share of dressing rooms in the years to come. But this was something different and the usually talkative boy didn’t have much to say right away. “When we got into the dressing room and looked around, Nevan just kind of froze,” said his dad Derek Coburn. “Usually, he has something to say about everything. “He just went ‘wow, look dad.’” Coburn directed his awestruck son to the corner of the room, where former Vancouver Canucks goaltender Cory Schneider stood. “Schneids,” Nevan said as his
face broke into an ear-to-ear grin. That seemed to break the ice for the Langley boy, as he walked over and began chatting up the New Jersey Devils all-star goaltender. Nevan was in Nashville with his family over the weekend for the 2016 National Hockey League AllStar Game. He was there as a guest of The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada. According to the foundation’s website, 23,000 wishes have been granted since 1984. Doctors nominate children under the age of 18, who face or have overcome life-threatening illness, to have a wish granted. In 2011, at 20-months-old, Nevan was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, germ cell teratoma. The young Langley boy underwent four rounds of chemotherapy sessions in a six-month span. That was followed by a surgery and then one more round of chemotherapy. Next came two months of intense follow-up appointments. The appointments used to be every month, and then every
six months. Now he goes for his check-ups once a year and is cancer-free. Each wish must be used before the nominee turns 18 and the Coburns felt the time was right to cash it in. Back in September Nevan’s parents asked him what he wanted to do for his special wish, and not surprisingly, his answer was hockey-related. “We wanted Nevan to have a fantastic experience and we asked him a few times what he wanted and he said ‘hockey, hockey, hockey,” his dad said. Nevan said he wanted to learn about the sport by meeting the world’s best hockey players. In September, the family wrote a letter to the NHL and by November, the plan was in place. Nevan — who plays left wing and centre with the Langley Minor Hockey Association as well as soccer with the Langley United Soccer Club — prepared for the big weekend by ordering some hockey cards of himself, which he autographed and handed out to the players. Among his favourite memories are meeting the Canucks’ Daniel
Sedin, former Canuck Roberto Luongo, and helping Edmonton Oilers star Taylor Hall tape his hockey stick. “It was all lots of fun,” Nevan said by phone from the family’s hotel room in Nashville. Nevan’s 18-month-old brother, and his parents, Derek and Debbie, joined him on the trip. The parents raved about the whole experience. “It was all absolutely amazing,” Derek said. “The Children’s Wish (Foundation), the way they put it together with the NHL, they are phenomenal. “Everyone went over the top to make it a fantastic experience.” The NHL players were also great with all the kids, asking questions of the children, posing for pictures and signing autographs. “For them to take the time to bond with them, to answer questions and just chat with them, they were all absolutely amazing,” Derek said. “Everyone was just so nice.” The family even got a chance to meet the all-star game’s referees. This happened after they bumped into one of the officials, Vaughan Rody, while boarding

the plane to Nashville in Seattle. The referee noticed Nevan’s Make-A-Wish shirt and the families began chatting about what they were doing. The official kept in touch and introduced Nevan to the other NHL officials selected to work the game. The family returned to Langley on Feb. 4 and the next morning, he took his autographed NHL AllStar jersey to his Grade 1 class at Lynn Fripps Elementary to proudly show his classmates. Nevan’s focus is now back to playing hockey. And with LMHA’s 16th annual Jordan Owens Memorial Hockey Tournament just over a month away, Nevan is asking people to donate money to the tournament. The tournament raises money in support of various charities — B.C. Children’s Hospital, MakeA-Wish Foundation and Balding for Dollars have been past recipients— in memory of Jordan Owens, a hockey-loving Langley boy who passed away from cancer in 1999 at the age of eight. Since it began in 2000, more than $150,000 has been raised. This year’s tournament runs March 18-22.

Plenty to cheer Stealth fans GARY AHUJA Times Sports
For the first time this season, the Langley Events Centre really was ‘their house.’ After a pair of disastrous home games, the Vancouver Stealth finally gave their fans reason to cheer with a convincing 15-7 victory over the Colorado Mammoth on Saturday night. The win improved Vancouver to 2-3 while Colorado fell to 4-2. In their previous two home contests, the Stealth managed a combined 12 goals. But Saturday night saw the team strike for a season-high number of goals. Rookie Ryan Wagner — making his National Lacrosse League debut and on the first shift of his pro career — found himself on a breakaway 1:21 into the game and opened the scoring. “It was surreal. I can’t even believe it went in,” he said following the game, a big smile on
his face. “I guess I had a good three metres behind me, but I didn’t know that at the time so I just kept running. Got the stick out wide and buried it.” The game was 4-3 for Vancouver after one quarter and 6-3 at the half. The Mammoth would cut the lead to two early in the third quarter but the Stealth struck for six consecutive goals to put the game out of reach. The Stealth offence was firing on all cylinders. Logan Schuss had three goals and nine points while Corey Small (two goals, five assists), Garrett Billings (one goal, five assists), Jordan Durston (two goals, two assists), Joel McCready (one goal, four assists) and Rhys Duch (three goals) paced the offence. “It is finally nice to see the production go up for us. We are a bunch of goal scorers out there. It is nice to see it spread it … ev-
eryone is doing their part,” said Schuss, the game’s first star. The result was a big turnaround from the team’s lost home game, a 14-5 to the same Mammoth squad. “Guys showed up and we came up with some big plays, whereas last time we were a little flat,” said Stealth coach Dan Perreault. “We competed for 60 minutes. Defensively, we had a lot of guys getting in the way of shots, getting their bodies, sticks in the way. Giving Eric (Penney) some help.” Penney finished with 41 saves and he credited his defence. “We did a great job of getting in the shooting lanes,” he said. “That is the difference … if we are getting in those shooting lanes and allow me to see the ball, then I think we are going to be successful.” The Stealth are on the road this weekend in Rochester.
Rolfe feeling Blue; PB for Ellenwood Hannah Rolfe is off to the University of Toronto, signing on to compete on the Varsity Blues track and field team next season. Rolfe, a high jumper with the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club, said she is excited about competing for the Blues. Rolfe cited “Stellar academics, impeccable coaching and the atmosphere of the team and campus,” as her reasons for choosing the university. Rolfe is a Grade 12 student at Walnut
Grove Secondary. She is no stranger to success, having won gold in the event at some high profile meets, including at the Canadian Legion youth track and field championships in 2013 and the Western Canada Summer Games in 2015. She also won silver at the B.C. high school track and field championships last year. “Hannah is an outstanding athlete and has worked hard for so many years,” said Dwayne Lotnick, the head coach of the Mus-
tangs. “She’s an amazing talent that is going to excel at the next level.” ••• Georgia Ellenwood is off to a fast start. In her first pentathlon of the year, the Langley sophomore on the University of Wisconsin track and field team set a new personal best with 4,295 points at the Jack Jennett Invitational in Cedar Falls, Iowa. She just missed setting a new school record by four points. Ellenwood set indoor personal bests in four
of the five pentathlon events and her score was the fourth-best score in the NCAA this season. The meet was held on Jan. 29 and resulted in Ellenwood being named the Big Ten Athlete of the Week last week. Ellenwood is a highly-decorated track and field athlete from Langley Secondary who competed with the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club. She has also represented Canada at various international meets.

Spartans sign Star while former Gator Tilley joins Clan The Trinity Western Spartans have added an offensive Star. The university hockey team has added Langley’s Kyle Star. The 20-year-old Star — who currently plays in the BCHL with the Trail Smoke Eaters — has signed to join the Spartans for next season. “I’m thrilled to be coming to TWU. For me, it’s a chance to further my education and my faith while also contributing to the Spartans hockey team,” Star said. “We are really excited to be adding Kyle to the mix for next season,” said Spartans coach Barret Kropf. “He is a top end offensive talent that will also continue to build on our strong culture in the locker room. He is a tremendous individual and will bring leadership on and off the ice to our program.” The five-foot-11, 175-pound forward has 14 goals and 14 assists in 39 games. He spent the previous two seasons in the Alberta Junior Hockey League where he amassed 29 goals and 43 assists in 108 games. And prior to playing junior A, Star spent two seasons in Abbotsford with the junior B Pilots, helping the team win the Keystone Cup as Western Canadian junior B champions in 2011/12. His older sister Katelyn Star was a member of the Spartans women’s basketball team from 2011 to 2013. ••• Dallas Tilley is bringing her ‘reckless abandon’ to the SFU Clan line-up. The outfielder/utility infielder is set to join the Clan women’s softball team for the 2016/17 season. She is in her second season with the Douglas College Royals, where she hit .547 in conference games during the 2015 season and .430 overall as the team won the 2015 NWAC North Region Conference championship. Tilley was selected a second team all-star. “Dallas will bring us some immediate experience as a college transfer,” said Clan head coach Mike Renney. “She is known for her reckless abandon in her outfield play, always willing, ready and able to dive for the ball when needed.”
Tilly helped her club team, the Surrey Storm, to a second place finish at the 2012 Canadian national
championships. And last summer, she was among the final 28 players selected from regional camps
held across Canada to try out for Canada’s junior national team. Prior to joining Douglas College, Tilley was
a multi-sport star for Walnut Grove Secondary, where she played soccer, basketball, volleyball and track and
field. “I loved each of the sports I played in different ways but I realized that softball was
the one sport that I would miss the most, which is why I chose to play it in post-secondary.”
