Quick arrest in Langley carjacking Abbotsford man faces trial in Feb. 9 incident in the 6300 block of 204 Street D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

A suspect in a Langley carjacking didn’t get very far. Langley RCMP arrested the man on Feb. 9, a few minutes after he used an imitation firearm to force a Maple Ridge woman from her car. She was sitting in the passenger seat of the vehicle waiting for her husband in the 6300 block of 204 Street at around 9:40 p.m. When the woman heard the driver’s door open, she thought it was her husband joining her. Instead, she heard an unfamiliar voice telling her to get out of the vehicle. When she looked up she saw the man had a firearm pointed at her. The woman pushed the gun away and got out. The suspect took off in the vehicle. About eight minutes after officers arrived at the scene, a report came in of a collision a few blocks away. The stolen car had crashed into a hydro pole in the 6200 block of 238A Street and the driver had fled on foot. A police dog found him hiding in a nearby garden shed. A search of the car found what police described as “a very real looking replica” gun. Dustin Joseph Murphy, 31, has been charged with robbery, possession of stolen property over $5,000, theft of a motor vehicle, use of an imitation firearm while committing an offence, driving while prohibited and failing to comply with a probation order. He is currently in custody and will next appear in Surrey Provincial Court on Feb. 22. “We are extremely pleased with the outcome of this investigation where quickly evolving circumstances allowed for a speedy arrest,” said Supt. Murray Power, officer in charge of the Langley RCMP detachment. “It shouldn’t be lost on any of us that the victim’s experience for that period of time would have been nothing short of terrifying,” he added.

A GIFT FOR A FRIEND: Leanne Tocol (left) made her very first blood donation Saturday in Aldergrove to show support for Amie MacNeil (right). The two have been friends since elementary school. Tocol said she always intended to become a blood donor, but decided now was the time after learning that MacNeil had required substantial amounts of blood during emergency surgery.

Project will shift traffic to 16 Ave. Fraser Highway traffic to be reduced by linking Marshall and King roads near airport T YLER OLSEN Bla ck P ress

Abbotsford city council has approved a $9.1 million road realignment that will increase traffic on the 16 Avenue corridor through Langley Township while reducing it on Fraser Highway. The Jan. 17 decision to link Marshall and King roads near Abbotsford International Airport is expected to shift 3,000 to 5,000 vehicles a day from the Fraser Highway. A staff report to Abbotsford council said the “link is also part of a larger transportation strategy, which will complete the planned 16 Avenue corridor, crossing the City of Surrey, Township of Langley, and

the City of Abbotsford, for approximately 25 kilometers.” Staff said the proposal would cost $5 million less than another plan that would have seen two existing stretches of King Road connected. That proposal had been part of the city’s long-term traffic strategy, but depended on the removal of gravel that was not expected to be completed for another 20 to 25 years. Residents of the Marshall Road Extension opposed the proposal because it would make what had been a dead-end route a through road with significantly more traffic.

Mayor Henry Braun said he understood residents’ opposition to the proposal. “If I lived on that street, I would have the same concerns,” he said. But for the city as a whole, the proposal makes more sense, he argued. “We don’t have a lot of options for eastwest traffic and that is where our congestion is.” He noted that of the two options before council, the Marshall Road proposal would cost less and take cars off Fraser Highway much quicker. The new proposal will keep the road to two lanes with a 50 km/h speed limit. Continued Page 5

On the road to reconciliation

Weekend series of lectures and events aims to promote understanding and facilitate healing, says organizer Cecelia Reekie MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Imagine a police officer and government official arriving at your door, unannounced, and taking away your children. Imagine they took every child in the neighbourhood — an entire community of children removed to residential schools. There, these children, some as young as four, are separated from their siblings and stripped of their clothing, heads often shaved, and they are scrubbed down with wire brushes. They’re told not to speak their native language and are given a new English name or more commonly just a number. It seems shocking, but it’s the ugly truth of Canada’s history. An estimated 150,000 Aboriginal children were taken from their families and forced to live at one of the 130 residential schools across the country. More than 5,000 children never made it home, often being buried in unmarked graves. The schools were conceived by the Canadian government and run by several religious organizations, including the Catholic, United and Anglican churches. Sexual and physical abuse, torture and mistreatment were widespread. The goal of the Canadian government was to ‘take the Indian out of the child.’ “Many non-Aboriginal Canadians say, ‘it happened so long ago, why can’t they just get over it?” said former Langley school trustee Cecelia Reekie. “The last residential school closed in 1996, not that long ago.” “There were up to seven generations of children who attended these residential schools. It will take a long time to heal,” said Reekie, an inter-generational survivor, who has been on her own journey recently as a cultural presenter, sharing the truths about residential schools told through her dad’s life. He is a survivor of a residential school. “This is my passion. This is what I’m meant to do, and I have the support of my dad,” said Reekie who has spoken to thousands of students and educators across Metro Vancouver in the past few months. Reekie is hopeful about what she is seeing in Canada around Aboriginal culture and is doing her part to continue building on that momentum by creating a weekend-long event in Langley called “Working Toward Reconciliation.” It will take place from Feb. 19 to 21. Reekie was adopted as a baby into a non-Aboriginal home, her mom was a teacher and her dad a minister in the

Cecelia Reekie speaks at Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley during the recent TEDxLangleyED presentations. Reekie, a former Langley school trustee is now working as a cultural presenter, sharing the stories of residential school survivors, a group which includes her own father. This weekend Reekie and a committee of helpers will present Working Toward Reconciliation, a series of talks and events which will take place at Yorkson Creek Middle School and the United Church in Murrayville. The event is open to the whole community and features a Feb. 19 presentation by Wab Kinew. United Church. It wasn’t until she held her first child in her arms that she had a biological connection to another human being. It triggered a desire to know her birth parents. She started searching and found her dad, a residential school survivor who had suffered abuse. In 2013 her father attended the National Gathering in Vancouver where he testified at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, having his story recorded into Canadian history. “His parents had no warning he would be taken away. Imagine not being able to go home for four years?” Reekie said. “He was given the strap in front of everyone for being caught speaking his language, the only one he knew.”

Reekie left politics to begin sharing the sad history of residential schools from her perspective. In the past few months, she has spoken at dozens of Langley, Surrey and Delta schools, sharing her father’s experience. Now Reekie has decided to take her outreach one step further, to the community at large, and hopes the residents of Langley will get a chance to engage with each other as “we all begin a journey toward reconciliation,” she said. Next weekend seemed the perfect fit. Given that Langley school district is on a Pro-D Day on Feb. 19 for educators to talk about reconciliation and gain a better understanding of Aboriginal history, Reekie wanted to create an event with the same theme.

“It doesn’t make sense to just have educators and students learn about it. We need the whole community to learn,” said Reekie. She got a committee together and they decided to ‘dream big,’ said Dawne Edwards, a Langley teacher. “Cecelia is throwing the rock, and causing that ripple. I’m excited to be part of it and committing to leaving this world a better place for our grandchildren,” said Edwards. Working Toward Reconciliation begins Friday night with a reading from Wab Kinew, author of The Reason You Walk: A Memoir. In 2012, Kinew hosted the acclaimed CBC documentary series 8th Fire.

Health Matters

Saunas, very popular in the ’60s and ’70s, having been enjoying a bit of a renaissance… and that may prove to be good for your heart! A large Finnish (of course!) study has found that the “dry warmth” of saunas reduces the risk of cardiovascular events. Better still, increased use of saunas was associated with increased benefits – this included greater frequency and time spent in the sauna – leading to researchers to deem it a preventative measure! Reinforcing the idea that a little bit of alcohol can be a good thing, the ARIC study has found that modest alcohol consumption (seven drinks per week) in early middleage is associated with up to a 20 per cent lower risk of developing heart failure than for abstainers and those who drank more. The study has followed over 14,000 subjects over a 24-year period. Seven drinks weekly showed the best results while 21 or more drinks/week actually showed an increased risk for heart failure. A major cause of cardiac death, heart attack, stroke and angina is atherosclerotic plaques in arteries. These plaques can grow to block the arteries themselves or can break off and travel to other locations, causing other

blockages. A class of drugs, called the statins, is one of the best weapons we have to reduce the formation of these plaques. Early research on statins used standardized male BOB SANGHA subjects but a new study has Pharmacist, BSc confirmed they are equally effective in women. Many have heard that taking a low dose of ASA (Aspirin) daily can help to prevent a heart attack – but that’s not quite the whole story. ASA has its own associated risks (for example, increased risk of stomach/ intestinal bleeding) so it should only be used in specific instances: patients who have already had a heart attack (to help prevent a second one) and patients with a sufficiently high calculated risk of having their first heart attack. It is possible to have too much of a good thing – and, sometimes, a good thing isn’t good for everyone. When it comes to drugs, our pharmacists are there to help you sort through the pros and cons of their use.

He has a Masters degree in Indigenous governance and is also an Honourary Witness for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. He is now running for the NDP in Manitoba, his home province. Already, more than 250 tickets have been sold for Friday night’s reading at Yorkson Creek Middle School, 20686 84 Ave. Kinew returns on Saturday, Feb. 20 as the keynote speaker at ‘A Community Day of Reconciliation,’ held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Yorkson Creek Middle School. This free event will be a day of sharing, listening, learning, understanding and celebrating, said Reekie. Doors open at 10 a.m. and a welcoming will begin at 10:30 a.m. Kinew will provide the keynote at 11 a.m., followed by a panel presentation. Reekie has also brought the large pillar exhibit ‘100 Years of Loss’ to the gym at Yorkson. The exhibit is comprised of pillars bearing historic photos, survivors stories and more. There will also be drumming, arts and crafts and exhibits for people to take part in, including offering a message to survivors and creating a tile as part of the Project of Heart. The 2016 orange shirts with the new design will be available for purchase. Parking is extremely limited at the event site so people are asked to park at Mountain Secondary School (7755 202A St. ) where shuttle buses will transport attendees to both events. Reekie points out that students are going to be coming home talking about the history of residential schools and this is a perfect opportunity for parents and families to come and learn about this history. On Sunday, Feb. 21, there will be an inter-faith ceremony of healing and reconciliation at the United Churches of Langley (21562 Old Yale Rd.) at 6:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome. The United and Anglican Churches have apologized for their role and are taking an active approach to reconciliation. It’s an important component, given the part they played in residential schools, said Reekie. “Starting in Grade 5, the history of residential schools is part of the curriculum so this is a safe

This is the first step,” she said. For Edwards, “there can’t be change until there is understanding and empathy and figuring out what all our roles are in this.” There is still a sentiment of ‘us and them’ in Canada, said Reekie. That needs to change. Reekie doesn’t like to come from a place of anger or blame. That isn’t going to work, she said.

Unidentified noise sends school into temporary lock down MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Loud sounds resembling gunfire in Fort Langley caused a Code Yellow lockdown at Langley Fine Arts Elementary on Thursday morning. The school was locked down at around 10:15 a.m. after sounds of what appeared to be

gun shots outside the school, said Langley School District spokesperson Ken Hoff. Police were called to investigate. “The RCMP were able to attribute the gunfire to a film crew nearby,” said Hoff. But upon further investigation it was learned that the sound

had come from a large truck being unloaded. Film crews in Fort Langley confirmed that they weren’t doing any scenes that involved gunfire on Thursday. The lockdown was lifted quickly. A letter was to be sent home with students explaining what had taken place, said Hoff.

Woman rescued after falling under bus MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti m e s Re po r t e r

An intoxicated woman was rescued from beneath a bus at Carvolth Exchange Thursday night, after she stumbled and fell while it was pulling away. Langley RCMP say she was attempting to sit down when she lost her balance and leaned

against the bus for recovery. The movement of the bus caused her to fall further, and her arm became caught under the rear wheels. Fire crews and paramedics were called. They used wedges and a hydraulic jack to lift the bus to free her. The women suffered a broken arm. No other injuries were reported.

Fraser Hwy. widening ‘remains a priority’ From Page 1

Braun and several councillors stressed that the widening of Fraser Highway remains a priority, although provincial funds are needed before that can take place. Coun. Les Barkman cast the lone vote in opposition to the proposal. Traffic on 16 Avenue, which is a designated truck route and part of the regional Major Road

Network (MRN), has increased roughly two per cent every year, from 8,880 vehicles per day in 1992 to 12,400 vehicles in 2011. 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. The Greater Langley and Abbotsford Chambers of Commerce have both called for improvements to 16 Avenue, in a joint statement that said the “inefficiency of the current

transportation network causes a major barrier to business and investment” and calls on the province to designate 16 Avenue a provincial highway. “This connector would relieve the bottle neck of traffic between Langley and Abbotsford (and) facilitate increased efficiency in the movement of people, goods and services” the chambers’ statement said.

Gather a team and walk to support the hurting, hungry and homeless in the Langley community. This fundraiser and awareness campaign supports The Salvation Army Gateway of Hope who works to help those needing shelter, food, safety and a supportive environment.

My family says I don’t hear well. What if I just don’t want to wear hearing aids?

$500 OFF* your purchase of a pair of hearing aids * See in-store for details. Some restrictions apply.

The consequences of hiding hearing loss are greater than wearing hearing aids.

What price are you paying for vanity? Untreated hearing loss is far more noticeable than hearing aids. If you miss a punch line to a joke, or respond inappropriately in conversation, people may have concerns about your mental acuity, your attention span or your ability to communicate effectively. The personal consequences of vanity can be life altering. On a simplistic level, untreated hearing loss means giving up some of the pleasant sounds you used to enjoy. At a deeper level, vanity could severely reduce the quality of your life. If you are a lawyer, teacher or a group psychotherapist, where very refined hearing is necessary to discern the nuances of human communication, then even a mild hearing loss can be intolerable. If you seldom socialize, then perhaps you are some-

one who is tolerant of even moderate hearing loss. The prevalent view is that hearing loss is “only” a quality of life issue. If, quality of life is defined as “greater enjoyment of music,” then one might agree. But studies clearly demonstrate that hearing loss is associated with physical, emotional, mental, and social wellbeing. Depression, anxiety, emotional instability, phobias, withdrawal, isolation, lessened health status, lower self-esteem, and so forth, are not “just quality of life issues.” For some people, uncorrected hearing loss is a “life and death issue.” If you are one of those people with a mild, moderate or severe hearing loss, who is sitting on the fence, consider all the benefits of hearing aids described above. Hearing aids hold such great potential to positively change so many lives. The myth that untreated hearing loss is a harmless condition is wrong. You won’t know what you are missing until you . . . just try.

Police looking for information on December pepper spray attack DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

Anyone who saw a Dec. 28 pepper spray attack in Langley is being urged to contact the RCMP. Police said the incident happened around 6:45 p.m. on that day, a Monday, in the 26400 block of Fraser Highway. One person was driving westbound on Fraser Highway in his 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt when a black Jeep Cherokee following the Chevy began flashing its high beams. The driver pulled over just east of 259A Street and the Jeep stopped behind him. The man in the Chevy and a man in the Jeep

both got out of their vehicles. That was when the Jeep driver sprayed the victim with the pepper spray without saying a word, got back in his vehicle and continued westbound along Fraser Highway. The man in the Jeep is described as Caucasian, in his 40s with long brown hair. Anyone who witnessed the attack or who has information that might assist police to identify the driver of the Jeep is asked to call Langley RCMP.

OPINION

Brenda Anderson | 604.514.6751 | newsroom@langleytimes.com

Looking back on 35 years They say you can’t know where you’re going until you know where you’ve been. This edition of the Times is a special one, as we take a look back at our own footprints over the past three and a half decades. In the process, we’ve gained a renewed sense of just how far we’ve come. This edition marks 35 years (less a day) since the first copies of our paper landed on Langley doorsteps. On Feb. 18, 1981, weekly distribution of the paper began each Wednesday to 15,000 households and businesses before expanding into Fort Langley. From the outset, the Langley Times’ focus was hyper local, covering the issues that most closely affected Langley residents. Through the process, we discovered that while attitudes may have changed in many respects, the issues that shape us as a community are often all too familiar. We’ve had a lot of fun flipping through the yellowing pages of our first issues. Several of the photos that accompanied early stories have been reprinted here in our commemorative section. And the Langley Centennial Museum graciously allowed us to access their archives when we needed to fill in the blanks. Of course, there were countless more stories worthy of revisiting than we had space to print, so for the remainder of the year, we will take a look back each week to see what was happening 35 years earlier. For those of you who were living in Langley in 1981, we expect you’ll feel a small twinge of nostalgia as you flip through the pages. For those who weren’t around in those days, whether you hadn’t yet been born or perhaps lived someplace else, we’re pleased to have this opportunity to help you get to know your hometown just a little better.

pearing in any “public dance, show, exhibition, stampede or pageant wearing traditional regalia” and voting. But while those laws may have been repealed, it seems the racist sentiments behind them are still with us. Some of us, anyway. The CBC was recently forced to shut down all online commenting on stories about First Nations matters because of the sheer ugliness of some comments. It was also one of the reasons cited by the Times Colonist newspaper when the Victoria daily shut down all of its online commenting. So if anyone out there thinks that racism and residential schools are issues that don’t require further discussion, they might want to consider George Santayana’s famous remark that “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” That is why the proposed truth and reconciliation task force for the Township is a good idea. So we never forget. And it never happens again.

Thanks to retiring librarian Editor: After 17 years as director of the Langley City Library, Pat Dawson is retiring from paid active service. As a person with a disability (PWD) I have seen the amazing job she has done there for the people of this community. She has created an outstanding atmosphere for all people to enjoy the fundamentals of the written word regardless of culture, class, colour, creed or carat weight. She has assembled a great staff of knowledgeable friendly people who do their jobs very well. I am there daily to work on the internet and my writing, and this has enriched my life immensely. She has been instrumental in implementing so many programs in a wonderful, clean, safe, creative environment here

— from ESL training for immigrants, and a place for other PWDs to enjoy, to the spinning and writers clubs — and the entire place runs like a Swiss watch. The computers and printer are almost always in perfect working order, and I have yet to see even one book out of place. Even though funding has often been a challenge, they have done a great job making resources available to all. Although she has usually been the invisible face behind the scenes, her work has always been obvious to us all, and I for one can only hope that her replacement will be able to live up to those standards. As a person with such otherwise limited resources, I can’t adequately express how nice it is to come here to enjoy the ambi-

ance and ingest the wide variety of brain food available here. With so much other artificial virtual junk contaminating our minds every day, it is great to be able to stop in and take home something actual, like a hard copy in the form of a DVD, because we can’t afford cable, or an actual book that you don’t need to click a rodent to read. It’s something more people should try. I’ve never heard the phrase “curl up with a good screen.” If I am ever rich, I know where I will leave some money to. Libraries are the bank where the favourite currency is knowledge. Because a mind really is a terrible thing to waste. Thank you Pat. DANNY A. “HURRICANE” HALMO, LANGLEY CITY

Pat Dawson, who will soon retire from her position as head librarian for the City of Langley, will be missed, says library regular Danny Halmo.

Close aging Pattullo Bridge to truck traffic permanently, urges writer Editor: Commercial truck traffic on the Pattullo Bridge has got to be stopped — forever. This is a small, aging infrastructure built in 1937 that will not last with the small fixes they currently do for upkeep. These large vehicles tear apart the bridge with their length and heavy weight. Several times a day, 70-foot long semis travel over this bridge causing further damage and being

nothing more than a clog in the wheel by taking up two lanes and creating a nuisance for New Westminster residential traffic. Worst yet, these semis break down, due to a lack of upkeep on the trucks, blocking a lane for hours. Now that this bridge is going to be reduced to one-lane traffic during repairs this spring, commercial trucks need to be banned from using this bridge altogether — not only during

repairs, but afterwards also. The mayors of both New Westminster and Surrey, need to ensure this ban is permanent. The Pattullo Bridge should be designated for small vehicle traffic only like the Lions Gate Bridge which, too, was built in 1937 and is a non-truck route. EDWARD DEGENSTIEN AND SANDRA STEFFAN,

May family find solace Editor: While a nation celebrated Family Day, a family in Langley, was not so lucky as they come to terms with the tragic loss of a two-year-old girl, who apparently died in a pond close to the residence. It is a reminder that we are creatures of time and condolences go to the relatives and a community. May the heavens welcome a new addition. Life is short and precious and like a candle in the wind; our light flickers only for a short time. Prayers to go the parents in this time of loss and the hope it will galvanize Langley to come together with prayers and thoughts. May they find solace in time. KERWIN MAUDE, PITT MEADOWS

WILLOUGHBY

Fire halls offer ideal solution to homeless problem Editor: The following is an open letter to mayors and councils of Langley Township and Langley City: After we heard about the removal of homeless camps around McLeod Athletic Park we wondered who, what, when, where and why the solution to homelessness lies. Here it is, very simple. A solution to the homeless problem is not that far away. It takes a little will and co-operation from all levels.

Since we have a number of fire halls in both the City and the Township, and since we are continually assured these are staffed by qualified staff, and since each fire hall has gym facilities, bathroom facilities and often even kitchen facilities, and since each fire hall has a large parking lot, why not give just a small part of the fire hall parking lot to the homeless? I have yet to see a fire hall parking lot more than one third full. Not the kitchen, not the gym, not the exercise room, not the cafeteria — just the

parking lots. Many things make this a great solution: 1) There is lots of room; 2) There are bathroom facilities available; 3) Should there be an emergency the well-trained firefighters are at hand; 4) Less wear and tear on the equipment, since it is all right at hand; 5) Employment for the firefighters; 6) Safety for our fellow citizens. It is a simple and effective solution. In fact, this is such a simple solution that I

wonder why it has not been thought of before. So, back to the five Ws: Who? Councils and firefighters; What? Being part of the solution to homelessness in Langley; When? Immediately; Where? At all the fire halls in the City and Township; Why? Because Langley is a great place to live for all. GERARD KLAAS (SCHOLTENS), LANGLEY

New standards in works for B.C. breeders Council to City: let’s dance The B.C. government was working on new standards for commercial animal breeders before 66 neglected dogs were seized from a local puppy mill. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick said ministry staff began consultations with the B.C. SPCA, veterinarians and commercial breeders in Janu-

ary, and that will continue this month. North Vancouver-Seymour MLA Jane Thornthwaite has proposed legislation that would set a maximum of three litters in three years for each mother animal, a lifetime maximum of six litters and a requirement to wean puppies or kittens onto

solid food by seven weeks of age before they can be sold. Letnick said he was shocked as were many others at the conditions of the Langley kennel, where 32 adult dogs and 34 puppies were seized on Feb. 4. Some had broken bones, missing ears or eyes infections and many other health issues.

Tongue-in-cheek “Moment of activity” challenge issued in video posted to City of Langley website DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter

The meeting does not get off to a good start. The YouTube video shows a quorum of Langley City councillors trudging through an especially boring discussion about an “electronic communications policy.” The clip shows councillors nodding off, or typing madly on their smart phone After more than five minutes of this (according to a clock on the wall), mayor Ted Schaffer breaks the fourth wall, looks at the camera and says, “What this meeting needs is a moment of activity,” and points to the left. “Hit it, Rudy.” Cut to councillor Rudy Storteboom, who happens to have a boom box, with a “Zumba” beat soundtrack that starts playing. The next shot shows that everyone present has changed into exercise gear and are all dancing. After a few seconds, the video cuts back to the mayor, who issues a challenge to Langley City Fire and Rescue, Langley City Senior Staff, and Langley Division of Family Practice

A YouTube image shows City Councillor Rudy Storteboom with a boom box. The scene was part of a video encouraging residents to be more active. to do their own videos. It is the launch of the city’s “Moments of Activity” campaign leading up to the opening of the new Timms Community Centre. “Building on the 5-21-0 principle of healthy living, we are trying to show people how easy it can be to get one hour of activity each day,” Schaffer said. “All it takes are moments where you mindfully say ‘I’m going to get up and get active’ — it could not be easier.” The challenged are encouraged to record and upload their Moments of Activity to YouTube and then share them via social media with the hashtag #ActiveMoments.

They’re to challenge three friends to show their Moments of Activity as well. Entrants have a shot at winning six months free membership to the Timms Community Centre. For more information about contest rules, visit timmscommunity.ca. So far, the senior staff, led by CAO Francis Cheung have responded, performing a stair climbing demonstration in the city hall foyer. The new Timms Community will open Wednesday, Feb. 24 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, live music and giveaways, and a chance to try out the Centre’s many exciting new features.

a recipe for a great night out deliciousness, from a locally inspired toasted pumpkin seed bannock to a crispy risotto, served with gruyere cheese and a smoky roma tomato sauce that’s right out of Northern Italy. You have to try the Chef’s feature fire grilled pizza with short ribs, cambozola cheese, onion marmalade and fragrant white truffle oil. What a start to an amazing journey through the night, as we carried on with locally sourced steamed mussels — beyond a doubt the juiciest, fattest morsels I’ve had, with a choice of three savory sauces. Every selection is sized perfectly for tasting, as a traditional tapas sharing style format, so it’s a wonderful opportunity to create a customized tasting menu for 2 or more and pairing them with your favorite cocktail, beer or wine. Having been a bartender myself (back in the insane disco days) I am usually frustrated by the lack of finesse in the average bar, which might offer the latest frou frou fruity fake martini, but not know how to properly make a Manhattan or a whiskey sour. The whiskey sour is a study in simplicity: whiskey, sugar and citrus, with a bit of egg white to make it light and frothy. There’s a right way, and a wrong way. The wrong way

is throwing bottom shelf whiskey into a warm glass with ice and mixing some bottled “sour” concoction in it. There’s a world of difference between right and wrong, and Eighteen 27 does it very right. I spent some time watching beautiful concoctions (many of them exclusive to the restaurant) pass by our table and my dining partners enjoyed their choices. It’s obvious in the attention to detail, from service to mains to dessert, that Eighteen 27 will not disappoint. The live music only adds to the ambiance. Whether you pop in for lunch, have a weekday dinner escape, or some fun on the weekend with entertainer Kurt Thys, who is terrific on the piano, and takes requests and sets the background vibe that makes it all add up to — the perfect evening out.

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.

Your Langley Honda Dealer

Serving Langley for over 20 years! Walking into a car dealership can be intimidating and

My wife and I just bought a new Civic and the experience

nerve wracking. Being as this was my first time making a huge purchase, I was four hundred times more nervous. Everyone was friendly and made the experience extremely positive! Alan was friendly, funny, and and helpful! He went above and beyond our expectations and I couldn’t have been happier! All in all, I would recommend Alan and Jonker Honda to everyone, especially my friends who are at the same stage as I am and ready to make a commitment to buying their first car. ~ CWebs

was very positive. Our salesman Eric was polite , knowledgeable, and very helpful without the feeling of being pressured into finalizing a purchase. Eric’s orientation to the vehicle was terrific as he went through all the details. Since our purchase, Eric has followed up with a telephone call and was more than welcoming to meet with us a second time to help us better understand some of newer options we are not familiar with. Overall, Eric and the support staff made our purchase easy and done in a very professional manner. ~ Jack and Judy

We were looking for a new 2015 Honda CR-V Touring, tried two other dealerships, they did not have any in stock. We found one in the Jonker Honda dealership, where we were dealing with sales consultant Alan Cheung. Because of Alan’s professional attitude which has impressed us we decided to purchase this particular vehicle. The car was ready in a few days since we have ordered extras, and this took some time to get and deliver to the dealership. The buying process was quite convenient and friendly, we would recommend Alan to our friends. ~ A.V.

I was looking for a car that would be nice, small, and convenient for school. I didn’t know what type of car I wanted at first. I came upon the Honda Civic Coupe at Jonker Honda and fell in love with the car instantly. My sales consultant Sarav and Jonker Honda dealership was patient and friendly. They were able to give me a very good deal on the car which I could not have at any other dealerships. I would definitely recommend Jonker Honda to my friends in the future. Thanks! ~ Sarah

PDI & FRT INCLUDED BASE 5 SPEED

Our recent new car purchase at Surrey/Langley Jonker Honda was due to the sales consultant’s knowledge of the product, high level of professionalism with a courteous and honest manner. After much research on our part in seeking the perfect car, Erick and Byron had great instincts in helping us make the right choice. This dealership’s business office staff are to be commended as well. All of the staff that we have been in recent contact with are a credit to this car dealership. Also, by purchasing at a local/nearby and reputable car dealership seemed to us a practical after sales option. We expect that there will be continued quality assurance gained by our car purchase at Langley Jonker Honda. ~ S.S.

I called to ask questions about a used car on the lot and Frank was amazing. Very informative and never any pressure. When I came down to the dealership from Vancouver, Frank made the entire experience comfortable. I had other options at dealerships and private sales and I felt so looked after that I didn’t want to buy from anywhere else. I highly recommend coming to Jonker Honda for your next new or used vehicle. Ask for Frank! ~ K.S.

The wrst issue of the Langley Times hit local doorsteps 35 years ago tomorrow (Feb 18).

had recently received the Maclay Cup, a prestigious industry award, at Madison Square Garden in New York.

It was 20 pages and from the very wrst edition, embodied the true spirit of a community paper, with a strong focus on local people, local events and local politics. In addition to the news, the weekly paper, which published each Wednesday, featured columns, recipes, puzzles and even a regular photo feature called Girl of the Times. To say the photo series met with mixed reviews would be an understatement. Placed prominently on the inaugural editorial page is a letter of congratulation from premier Bill Bennett. Local MLA R.H. McLelland, also welcomed the paper to the community with a letter to the publisher. Featured on the front page of the Feb. 18 Langley Times was a prowle of a then 16-year-old Laura Tidball. The young Langley equestrienne

The Times caught up with Tidball — now Laura Balisky — 35 years later and discovered her passion for horses has not cooled over the past three and a half decades. At the bottom of the same front page was a story about the amalgamation debate — an issue which, according to the unidentiwed writer, had already been stirring for some time. That’s just one example we discovered, illustrating how “the more things change ...” At the same time, it’s been fascinating to see just how much the process of putting together a newspaper has evolved since the days of cutand-paste layout, when the identity of the writers and photographers was an afterthought. Thumbing through the black and white pages of The Times’ earliest issues over the past several weeks has been both an entertaining and an educational experience. We’ve taken a look back at the live theatre

We’ve lifted a few photos, revisited some subjects and taken a look back at some of the trends and topics that struck us as interesting or unusual. We hope you have as much fun as we did on this little trip down memory lane.

A sign of things to come GARY AHUJA Tim es Reporter

Gracing the front page of the inaugural edition of the Langley Times newspaper was just the beginning for Laura Tidball. Tidball was 16 years old and an elite junior show jumper who had recently won the Maclay Horseman Award at Madison Square Garden in New York. Her picture and story were splashed across page one of the Feb. 18, 1981 edition of the Langley Times, a new weekly community newspaper.

The Maclay Award is considered the most prestigious award in junior riding and it was the sign of big things in Tidball’s future. The week before her story appeared in the newspaper, Tidball had been named the B.C. junior athlete of the year. The story talked about her dreams and ambitions, all of which would come true over the next decade. “That was a pretty big deal; it is the biggest award you can win as a junior,” she said by phone from California last month. These days, Tidball is Laura Balisky. And while her last name may

They outgrew the wrst location — a 26-acre facility — and relocated to an 85-acre facility on 72 Avenue.

In the 1981 article, Balisky talked about her dreams and ambitions, which included one day representing her country on the international stage.

The parents were inducted into the Jump Canada Hall of Fame in the builder category.

She did just that, making the 1984 Olympic team as an alternate and competing at the 1988 Olympic Summer Games. She also helped Canada win team gold at the 1987 Pan Am Games.

“My dad and mom were just awesome supporters, enthusiastic,” she said. “They were the kind of people where you got a good pat on the back if you did great, but they didn’t kill you when you didn’t. They didn’t bring you down, they just uplifted us.”

“Did I expect to get to the Olympic Games? No, because with horses, you can never expect too much,” she said. “But it was in my set of goals, for sure.” Horses had long been a passion, not just for Balisky, but the entire Tidball family. The family moved to Fort Langley from West Vancouver when Balisky — the youngest

And Balisky says it was her parents’ support which helped her get as far as she did.

And while Balisky’s son didn’t follow his parents into the sport — Matthew is a wrstyear engineering student at UBC who played rugby and football growing up — the family does have another high-level jumper: Balisky’s niece Laura-Jane Tidball, who trains under her aunt and uncle.

The evolution of the silver screen in Langley

It’s been almost 17 years since Famous Players’ Colossus spaceship touched down on the corner of 200 Street and 91A Avenue in Walnut Grove.

The mega movie theatre — boasting 18 theatres and the area’s wrst 3D IMAX screen — was so large, Times reporter John Ireland wrote “you’ll be able to see (it) while sitting in Brookswood, at the south end of the 200 Street bottleneck.”

Prior to Langley’s lavish movie lounge (which now operates under Cineplex Entertainment), residents had the Willowbrook 6 Cinemas, located beside Willowbrook Lanes at 64 Avenue and Willowbrook Drive.

Photo and caption from the May 2, 1999 edition of the Times as Colossus Langley neared completion — May 2, 1999.

Colossus was built in Walnut Grove. It was closed and demolished in the early 2000s. Through the 1970s, there was the Langley Twin Movies at Sundel Square, owned and operated by Anthony Hargrave.

In the early days the little theatre on Fraser Highway at 204 Street played silent wlms accompanied by piano, before a theatre organ was installed in 1924.

Hargrave was a City Alderman from 1983 to 1985.

Drive-In Theatre and Clova Cinemas in neighbouring communities, and older generations will remember the Langley Theatre, built by Arthur Timms, that ran from 1917 to 1958.

The stage was also often used for theatre productions, and even all-candidate meetings. At one point in the early 1930s it was turned into a hardware store, before being converted back into a movie theatre in 1937.

His movie theatre was almost shut down by wre marshals in its wrst days of operation for not having the correct permits, recalls retired City wre chief Jim McGregor. Hargrave claimed that the $50 daily wne was cheaper than the permit itself. And at one point, he attempted to keep the theatre ayoat by playing X-rated adult movies.

In 1949 there was a proposal to demolish the theatre and adjoining Texas Hotel to make way for a larger 60-room hotel and 600-seat theatre, but that never came to fruition. It was demolished in 1958.

There were also the Hillcrest

Langley City Hall then, Langley City Hall now

A look through the Langley Centennial Museum collection of almost 7,000 archival photographs shows just how much the Langleys have changed since the Times began publishing. An April 15, 1986 photo shows the Buckerweld’s feed store coming down next to the then-courthouse on Fraser Highway. The feed store was relocating to a newer building. The museum website notes that Buckerweld’s remained at their downtown Langley location until 1986, when they moved to a building on the east side of 200 Street, south of the Langley Bypass, north of the train tracks.

Township Council Chambers then, Township Council Chambers now BC Telephone Co then, BC Telephone Co now

Jump forward 30 years and a picture taken from the same angle shows the site is now occupied by the Cascades casino, hotel and convention centre and while the former courthouse building is still there, the view is blocked by the casino sign and the heritage statues located in the public park. Other comparisons of then and now images show less dramatic changes. A 1982 photo of Pepper’s Nite Spot on the corner of Fraser Highway and Thornton (as it was then called) reveals the night club underwent a change of colour scheme, from powder blue to brown, and a change of name to Gabby’s Country Cabaret, as seen in a photo taken from the same angle more than 30 years later. The museum notes for a 1985 photo of Langley City’s 30th anniversary celebration in front of City Hall states the two-storey structure on Topping Road (as it was then known) was built on the site of the Timms house after it was torn down in 1956.

Peppers then, Peppers (Gabby’s) now

The hall opened for business on April 13, 1957 and held its wnal meeting on April 12, 1999. It was rebuilt on the same site with a new branch of the Fraser Valley Regional Library included and ofwcially opened on Aug. 25, 2000. A present-day photo shows the work on a new state-of-theart Timms Community Centre. The current Township council chambers, as pictured in 2014, are much grander than the relatively modest low-ceilinged space shown in a 1992 photo of the Langley Municipal Council.

BuckerƂeld’s then, and BuckerƂeld’s now

The museum lists the council members from left to right as: J. Campbell, M. Arnason, A. Searle, J.H. Beales, J. Scholtens, T. Campen, and S. Ferguson. A 1992 picture shows the old Aldergrove BC Tel building in need of some TLC before it was moved to its current location at 3190 271 St, where it was renovated and now serves as the Aldergrove Heritage Society museum. What about you? Do you have any photos from 1981on that show how the community has changed? Please send them to us by emailing dferguson@langleytimes.com. They could be posted online and some may appear in the paper as well.

Female politicians breaking into the old boys’ club in the early ‘80s were no strangers to sexism. But that didn’t mean they had to take it without comment. A story published in the Langley Times on April 29, titled “A woman at Township hall,” prowled Muriel Arnason, noting she was the wrst female alderman in the district’s then 110-year history, having been elected in 1979.

“I know I’m a maverick on council. Whether it’s because I’m a woman or because of my politics, I don’t know.” In a subsequent story, she is quoted asking the mayor to refer to her as “Alderman, not Mrs.” Arnason died in 2007 after serving 11 straight terms on council. Today, a library has been named in her honour and she is succeeded by her daughter Petrina, who sits among a group of eight Township councillors, half of whom are women.

A sign of the times You might call it a sign of the times. Published on Feb. 18, 1981, Issue #1 of the Langley Times introduced the Girl of the Times. Issue #2 included the wrst letter of complaint about the Girl of the Times. Far from bikini shots, these could better be described as “cheesecake light.” Each was comprised of a

photo of a pretty, smiling young woman dressed in everyday clothes and a caption which included such information as her hobbies, ambitions and, often, her astrological sign. One early prowle stood out to us here in 2016. It concerned Kelly, who according to the caption under her photo, “May only be 5’4” tall, but that doesn’t stop her from horseback riding whenever she gets a chance.” During the paper’s wrst year, the weekly photo drew several letters of

complaint, often accompanied by a copy of the most recent offending image — included for clarity’s sake, no doubt. One writer labeled it “an offensive, sexist piece of junk,” while another suggested that if there was to be a Girl of the Times then, for the sake of equality, there ought to be a “Boy of the Times,” too. On Nov. 25, the writer got her wish. In what appears to have been a bit of an inside joke, a local business sponsored a “Boy of the Times” photo. “Bob,” an LSS stu-

dent, was pictured with his bass guitar. His hobbies were listed as mechanics and swimming. Undeterred by the blowback to the weekly photo, the paper in its wnal issue of the year invited readers to call the Times ofwce and place a vote for their favourite ‘Girl of the Year’ from a weld of 12 wnalists, narrowed from the original 46 models.

LANGLEY 1981 t 35 YEARS t 201 6

The more things change... We’d all like to think that our struggles are unique. But a look back at some of the earliest editions of the Langley Times disproves that notion many times over during the course of a single year. From development, to transportation and the costs of policing or buying a home, many of the issues that keep Langley residents awake at night in 2016 were also top of mind back in 1981. Skyrocketing housing prices were the focus of a story that appeared in the very wrst issue of the Times. It was titled ‘The housing crunch’ and noted that the price of an average Langley bungalow which had cost $50,000 in 1979 had nearly doubled two years later. By July, the “crazy market” had leveled off, according to a follow-up article. That story was

followed several months later by another about the crashing housing market, with the blame placed squarely on a huge jump in mortgage rates. Ads in the wrst issues of the Times, urged residents to shop locally and help keep small, independent businesses thriving. A story from the SPCA warned in early ‘81 that it was kitten season and that meant a lot of young cats were in need of good homes. On the water, restrictions on commercial wshing between New Westminster and Mission closed the Fraser River to salmon wshing for the entire 1981 season. The measure was aimed at reversing the trend of declining chinook stocks. One article published in 1981 discussed the possibility that a commuter rail system could run through Langley by the end of the decade. There were accounts of so-

called freeway fatigue, with drivers complaining of long and tiring commutes to work in Vancouver, as well as concern over expansion of the Roberts Bank Superport and the anticipated increase in the number of coal trains through Langley each day. At the time, residents were forced to deal with the noise of three or four trains per day making round trips, and some feared that number could double or quadruple. Among the solutions suggested were berm construction and a possible anti-whistling bylaw. The current expansion to the port that led to the construction of a series of rail overpasses, could result in as many as 60 trains per day running through Langley, according to 2013 estimates.

Rubik’s Cube — “the toughest puzzle of the century” — was all the rage in 1981. It was so popular in fact that Willowbrook Mall hosted a contest to find out who could solve it fastest. That honour went to 14-year-old Peter Huang, who cracked it in just 57 seconds. At the height of the toy’s popularity in 1981, Good Stuff Games store in Willowbrook mall sold about 150 cubes each week.

These are the kind of wgures that put the 1981 headline — Rail trafwc only distant rumble of what’s ahead — into sharp perspective.

A little theatre among the trees M ira nda Gath ercole T IM ES R EPORTER

I was an “off day” It ffor Langley Players ccast members as they worked their way w tthrough one of the wnal o rrehearsals for T Time to Kill.

An ad for Time To Kill by Langley Players ran adjacent to the Times’ very first theatre feature, “Play shapes up as debut nears” in the Feb. 18, 1981 issue.

Brookswood H Hall was “more than sslightly chaotic” w with an entire secttion of seats pushed tto one side, props sstrewn along the yoor and sets not yet complete. Actor Paul Kloegman had locked his keys in his car at work. He had to hitchhike home, break into his house to get what he needed for rehearsal, then hitch-

hike back to the Brookswood Hall, making him late. And leading actress Beda Martin had twisted her back on a mechanical bucking bronc just a few days before, so another actor had to stand in her place while the team practiced. Even with all of that, director

Dale Kelly still felt conwdent he had a “wrst-rate show on his hands.” This was the wrst appearance of Time to Kill in B.C., and perhaps even in Canada, and it was a miracle they were able to get the

scripts on time for such a new play. At least, according to the Times article on Feb. 18, 1981. “Play shapes up as debut nears,” was one of the wrst pieces ever written in the then brand-new Langley Times newspaper. There is no byline to the article, or photographer credit for the accompanying photo, but the mystery author captured the heart of what the Langley Players Drama Club continues to be today. “They were one of the most welcoming clubs I’ve ever known, they were much like family at that time,” recalled Kelly, who was 25 years old at the time of the article. “I think that continued through the years, that sense of family in Langley.” Continued on page 28

Since starting with the Langley Players in 1975 doing lighting for Gigi, Kelly went on to act in and direct dozens of community theatre productions. He is currently working on his 87th show, The Last Lifeboat, at Surrey Little Theatre. “In many ways I could honestly say if I didn’t have such a good experience in Langley all those years ago, I probably wouldn’t have stayed in community theatre,” he said. Kelly is not the only one with those sentiments. Since Langley Players was founded in 1969, it has long been admired as one of the top community theatre clubs in the area, said president Mary Renvall. The club’s focus on education and mentorship in all aspects of theatre — including acting, set design, costume design and lighting — has attracted many great talents over the years, she said. Renvall has been with the theatre group since 1993, and although much has changed in the industry during her tenure, “our little theatre, among the trees in Brookswood, still feels comfy and cozy,” she said. Some of the biggest impacts in

the last few years have been social media and advancement in electronic technology, which have allowed for greater control over ticket sales and advertising. Even the hall itself — which was originally built in 1939 — has gone through a massive restoration. Actors who once applied their makeover in a little mirror above a kitchen stove and sink, now have a proper dressing room, and many improvements have been made to the interior theatre space, seating, carpets, stage, lobby and parking lot. As Kelly said in the article back in 1981, “Langley offers the best audience response of any theatre group in the Lower Mainland. Theatre here is literally growing along with the town.” Renvall couldn’t agree more. “That’s very true. Today, our shows are sold out,” she said. “It’s got something special, it’s got a very welcome atmosphere. “It still has that kind of Mayberry feel to it that people come here and they stay here. People that come they just love it.”

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!

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

Tragic ending clear in hindsight

Langley Community Music School

The benewt of hindsight makes a particular series of stories that appeared in the Langley Times in 1981 especially disturbing.

Today we know they were all victims of notorious serial killer Clifford Robert Olson, who murdered 11 children and young adults.

It began in mid-August with a story that included a warning from police to young people not to hitchhike, following the deaths of three teens and the disappearance of wve others, including 16-year-old Sandra Lynn Wolfsteiner of Langley.

In a follow-up article on Aug. 26, which mentioned Olson’s arrest, police were still unable to link Wolfsteiner’s disappearance to the killer, noting that it was entirely possible she was still alive.

At the time, she had been missing since May but police were not g the incidents. linking

However, Wolfsteiner had been murdered by Olson on May 19. Her body was eventually found near Chilliwack Lake Road.

Langley athletes in Hall of Fame A number of Langley athletes have been recognized for their outstanding contributions to their respective sport with enshrinment into the BC Sports Hall of Fame:

Peter Luongo joined the Langley Ukulele Ensemble as assistant director in 1980. This article from April, 1981 shows his passion for the instrument during a time when Langley was one of only two districts in B.C. to have a comprehensive musical program based on the ukulele.

Leah Pells — track and weld (athlete category) inducted in 2015. Pells is one of Canada’s most decorated middle distance runners. She got her start in the sport with the Langley Sports Club and went on to represent Canada at four Olympic Games (1992, 1996, 2000 and 2004). Her fourth-place wnish at the 1996 Games in Atlanta in the 1500m event, which to this day is the best result all-time by a North American woman in the event. Pells still holds the Canadian record in the one-mile, which she set in 1996. Debbie Brill — (athlete category) inducted in 1989.

Peter Luongo’s son, Paul, has now taken over as director of the Langley Ukulele Ensemble.

Brill is a Canadian high jump athlete who was the wrst North

American woman to clear six-feet, which she did at the age of 16. She got her start with the Langley Sports Club and Brill has held the Canadian high jump record since 1969 and most recently set the bar for other Canadian women jumpers by clearing 1.98m back in 1984. She made the Canadian Olympic team in 1976. David Esworthy — equestrian (builder category) inducted in 2012. Described as a consummate horseman, Esworthy served in virtually every role possible in his sport: as a rider, judge, steward, horse show organizer, horse show chair and industry advisor. Eden Donatelli-Green — speed skating (athlete category) inducted in 2000. The short track speed skater won a gold medal in the 500m and at the Olympic Games in 1988, won silver and bronze medals as short track speed skating was

Hockey History in Langley

From Lords to Rivermen Seven different hockey clubs have called Langley home in the 43year history of junior A hockey in this area. It began with the Langley Lords, who skated at what was then known as the Civic Centre rink. The hockey club had moved east from Vancouver, where they were the Vancouver Villas. The Lords lasted until 1978 when they became the Langley Thunder. But that was short-lived as fol-

lowing the 1979 season, the Thunder left town. The absence of junior A hockey was brief, however, as the Langley Eagles played from 1981 to 1987. The Eagles had been the Chilliwack Colts and following the 1987 season, the team yew the nest in Langley and went back to Chilliwack. It would be another seven seasons until hockey returned to Langley, with the Langley Thunder coming to town. The Thunder played from 1994 to 1998 before changing names to the Langley Hornets (1998 to 2006).

The Hornets left town for the Interior, becoming the West Kelowna Warriors but there was no lapse in hockey as the Chilliwack Chiefs wlled the void, becoming the Langley Chiefs (2006-2011). The Chiefs played the wrst few seasons at what was now called the George Preston Recreation Centre before playing out of the new Langley Events Centre beginning in 2009. The Chiefs lasted until 2011 when the team changed ownership once again and became the Langley Rivermen.

Congratulations

Former Langley Hornets forward Taylor Kitsch went from playing junior hockey in Langley to a career as a movie star. The Hornets are one of seven different hockey clubs in the 43-year history of junior hockey in Langley.

Jorda Maisey. “This beautiful installation will provide comfort and a sense of ‘home’ to the residents here, commodities that are in constant demand when living with dementia or Alzheimer’s.” Debra Hauptman, the CEO of the Langley Lodge points out that the second project was centered on the elevator. “The elevator was often a gathering place for residents who can become quite anxious at times and they look for a way out. We maintain a secure floor for the safety of the residents and we like to present an image that is calming and pleasing to the eye. We use images for men that may include golfing or fishing or maybe someone knitting that will be a pleasant visual for the women.” “By redirecting the residents away from the elevators it reduces the activity in these areas and assists our staff by reducing their concerns of people trying to leave the floor. When referring to her new art piece, the artist, Maella Ginn, was quoted saying, “People with dementia and Alzheimer’s recognize elevators as an exit. The mural changes their perception of what they see. If

they see books in the mural for example, they do not recognize this as leading to anywhere or as a way out.” Maella has done over twenty of these projects in facilities from the Lower Mainland to Squamish. “The reaction from the staff has been totally positive,” Maella explains. “I have been called back to do additional art at some of these places as they are finding that the images are very helpful in re-directing the residents away from exits to more secure areas.” Maella has learned a lot about the disease and she incorporates this knowledge into her art.” I try to achieve a homey feeling without over stimulating them. It’s all about combining esthetics and getting into their memories. I research the residents first. Are they immigrants or local people? Are there more men than women? This way I can choose what images I will go with. Maybe local history or themes from their country of origin. For the books on the bookshelf, I chose classic titles that may invoke some memories.” “For me, it is a passion and a chance to give back and I hear some amazing stories. One lady sat and talked

A toast to

years

Toastmasters International celebrates 35 years of public speaking and leadership education in Langley MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

Wendy Leroux remembers watching in fear as her boss was forced to give their entire 45-minute business presentation to a large garden club with PowerPoint slides that suddenly stopped working. Although presentations were not foreign to the staff of Botanus, a mailorder flower company in Langley, remembering everything without the computer slides to read off of was. After the panic and sweating began, Leroux was shocked to see her boss nail the entire proposal, without a single colourful slide. “I thought, ‘I want to do that.’ I want to be able to get up, and regardless of what’s going on around me, be able to get what’s in my heart and in my head out of my mouth,” Leroux recalled. That was the defining moment that led her to join Toastmasters, an international organization of 35,000 clubs that teaches public speaking and leadership. Since starting at the Langley 2743 club nine years ago, Leroux has moved on to become a mentor and president. “If you’ve ever had to

speak in public, and frozen. Or every second word is ‘um.’ Or if you’ve ever had to listen to that — that is why we’re here,” she said. The organization began in California in the 1930s, and has been active in Langley for 35 years. In that time, thousands of residents have been helped by their selfguided programs — from university students and business professionals, to those making presentations at work, or speeches at a wedding. “Even though it sounds like all we are doing is drinking and toasting, that’s not at all what we are doing,” Leroux said laughing. “It is completely learning how to speak in public and how to lead. “If people have information they need to impart, but there’s no excitement around it, (then) it’s just information. So if you can get that together with the passion you feel, then you can do it in a way that people are moved by it. It just changes everything.” Leroux says the first time she had to give a two-minute on-thespot presentation at a Toastmasters meeting, she felt like she completely blew it.

“I stood up I think for 20 seconds when it was supposed to be a twominute speech, and I pretty much just fell into my chair and thought, ‘Oh that was bad,’” she said. “And instead of being disappointed by it, I said ‘No that is not going to define me, I’m going to do it again and do it again until I get it right.’” As Leroux continued to work on those skills, she says her life began to change. “Your life is like driving a car, and you’re in the driver’s seat, but as it turns out, everyone else — your husband, your partner, your kids, your job — (are) determining what you do, because you don’t have a voice,” Leroux said. “And the minute you get a voice … you’re able to get people to do things with you (and) for you without anyone getting hurt. And suddenly you feel that you are a little more in control of your own life, because you can speak about the things that you need to speak about.” The skills go beyond just speaking to large groups, Leroux added. Learning to communicate concisely can help in job interviews, asking for a raise or even dealing with hospitals, lawyers or government

M IR A ND A GAT HE R C OLE Langley Time s

Wendy Leroux, president of Langley Toastmasters Club 2743, says she’s grown in “all aspects” of her life from taking public speaking and leadership programs. officials. “I’ve had more growth, since I started with Toastmasters, in all aspects of my life, she said. “I think the most surprising was that I had something to say, that what I had to say was important, and that when I stand up … it actually affects other people.”

Leroux says she’s witnessed many people transform their lives, including one soft-spoken member — Stephen — who was able to land his dream job as an RCMP officer after improving his public speaking skills. “Nowadays, with social media and so many communication platforms,

you have to have a good presence and a good speaking voice if you want to get ahead,” she said. The Langley 2743 club meets every Tuesday evening, and sessions are open to the public to attend. For more information, or to become a member, visit http://langley. toastmastersclubs.org/.

Fashionable fundraiser for grads MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Parents of students at R.E. Mountain Secondary are taking a fashionable approach in promoting safe graduation celebrations. On Feb. 18 they are hosting a student fashion show to raise money for this year’s dry grad in June at Castle Fun Park in Abbotsford. The students will wear donated clothing from Moores, Black & Lee, David’s Bridal, Angelic Visions, Sakura, Premium Label Outlets, Old Navy and Value Village, and strut their stuff on the runway in a fun evening with their peers. “The grads look forward to it. It’s something really fun that pulls them together and pulls

the community together for such a good purpose,” said Julie Ens, parent organizer of the fashion show. Although the main purpose of the event is to raise money, ultimately it’s promoting the message of dry grad that is most important, Ens said. “We really want to keep (the students) off alcohol for as long as possible,” she said. “We want to show them that dry grad is a fun event where you do not need to have alcohol, and everyone comes so there’s no pressure on them. “We usually don’t have trouble with kids sneaking alcohol in, because the pressure is off. They don’t have the peer pressure that way, so it’s positive.” The event also includes

a Time Era and Bollywood segment, and a silent and live auction. Some of the auction prizes include a two-night Whistler get away, a two-night Summerland Cottage get away, four rounds at Redwoods Golf, signed Canucks jerseys, a retro RV Rental, camping items, Valley Driving courses, modelling lessons, a bar fridge, $500 of Centura Flooring and a photo Shoot. The fashion show is on from 7-9:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 and are available at the school on the night of, 7755 202A St. Ens would also like to thank sponsors Cedar Rim Nursery, Marc Anthony Salon, Convex Hair Studio, Automotive Training Centers and Pizzazz Modelling Agency.

A Valentine recital TWU’s School of the Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC) is presenting the spring installation of the Faculty + Friends Recital Series, A Valentine Recital, featuring romantic gems for violin and piano.

I remember a time when I spotted a moth. It was an underwing moth with beautiful colourful hindwings resting on the window of my elementary school. I was so excited that I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I couldn’t think about anything else after school that day. My mother understood all too well. She knew my heart would not rest unless I tried to catch that moth. So she obliged and drove me back to the school.

Joining the Langley Field Naturalists (LFN) has allowed me to once again wander the woods with “birds of a feather.” Maybe you are a nature nut who has not yet found your cluster? If so, I highly recommend the LFN or whatever naturalist group is local to you. The LFN field trips take you all over the B.C. Lower Mainland and beyond, and are a great way to learn your local flora and fauna and local nature nuts. The LFN also features an indoor program that meets monthly on the evening of the third Thursday each month at the Langley Music School. Incidentally, the Feb. 18 meeting features some nature nut (me) speaking about killer weeds and climate change. See http://www.langleyfieldnaturalists.org/ for details.

KDocs documentary film festival returns KDocs is back with its second annual film festival, and a reel of provocative, timely and critically acclaimed documentaries. Hosted by Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) in partnership with the Vancouver International Film Centre, KDocs will bring guests two days of education, engagement and entertainment with six thrilling films, director Q&As and panel discussions. “The six films we’ll be showcasing highlight six incredibly timely topics,” said KDocs festival director Janice Morris, who is also an English instructor at KPU. “Our hope is that each will springboard into discussions and action around these issues — whether environmental, economic or social. We really are a global society, and this year’s festival will not only showcase that, but will hopefully show how issues that directly affect others truly affect all of us as global citizens.” The KDocs lineup includes: Drone, The Mask You Live In, Peace Officer, Food Chain$, Ivory Tower and Fractured Land. This year’s event will be hosted at the Vancouver International Film Centre and Vancity Theatre, and is open to the general public. For a nominal fee, guests will have access to the six films and all festival activities, including meals and snacks.

‘Amazing feeling to wear your country’s colours’ After overcoming injury, Langley rugby player named to national roster GARY AHUJA Times Sports

The fact Alex Mascott is set to suit up for his country later this month isn’t much of a surprise given the talent and determination he displays on the rugby pitch. What is a surprise is just how far the 22-year-old from Langley has come in the past seven months to get back to this point. It was last June, and like he has done “millions of times” in the past, Mascott was on his dirt bike, zipping in between the logging roads near his family’s AL EX cabin just north M ASC OTT of Kamloops. He approached the central logging road and was perpendicular to a logging truck on the very narrow road. With a collision unavoidable, Mascott jammed his breaks, dropped the bike and slid under the truck with the truck’s giant tires rolling over his ankles and feet. Surprisingly, Mascott was relatively OK considering the potential of just how bad the damage may have been. “I tried to shrug it off and tell the driver that I was fine and I was sorry about that,” he recalled. His parents rushed him to the hospital and the X-rays revealed that Mascott was lucky, nothing was broken. Mascott did have to make a difficult phone call to his coach as he was set to play for Team BC less than a week later. “I really tried take it at face value and that I was lucky to be OK from it,” he said. “It could have been a whole lot worse. I learned to appreciate the moments and continue on.” After a few months of recovery,

R ICHAR D LA M Spe c ial to The Time s

Alex Mascott is a fifth-year student at UBC who is set to graduate this year with a bachelor of arts in commerce. He is also the head of the UBC varsity athletes union and is president of the Thunderbird Athletic Council. Mascott has been named to Rugby Canada’s 28-player roster for the Americas Rugby Championship.

Mascott has returned to form and has been named to Rugby Canada’s 28-player roster for the Americas Rugby Championship (ARC), a five-game international series featuring Canada, Uruguay, the United States, Brazil, Argentina and Chile. Twenty-three of the 28 players will suit up for each game. Canada is currently 1-1 at the competition, beating Uruguay in the first match 33-17 on Feb. 6, and losing to the United States 30-22 on Feb. 13. The third game is against Brazil on Feb. 20 at Langford Stadium on Vancouver Island. Mascott — a five-foot-11, 215-pound hooker — is set to join the team for the final three games of the series.

It is a very unique feeling, one that brings me pride (even) many years after I have done it.” ALEX MASCOTT

The fourth and fifth games are Feb. 26 and March 5 in South America against Argentina and Chile, respectively. This is Mascott’s second time representing Canada as

he played with the U20 junior national team a few years back which finished second at its competition. “It is an amazing feeling to wear your country’s colours and represent the best of Canada’s athletes in rugby,” he said. “It is a very unique feeing, one that brings me pride (even) many years after I have done it.” Rugby has long been in Mascott’s future. His father — a Brit — played the game for 40 years so Mascott was familiar with the sport from an early age. And when Mascott was in Grade 4, he began commuting every day from Langley to attend St. George’s, a Vancouver private school with a strong rugby

tradition. Commuting for school was a bit of a shock to the system at first, but eventually he adjusted. “The St. Georges program was great in terms of developing a love for the game and an assessment of skills and what you will need to go forward,” he said. Mascott attribute a lot of his success to St. George’s as well as the Vancouver Rowing Club, where he played club rugby. He also plays at the university level with the UBC Thunderbirds. “I was really, really happy when Alex got the recognition and the call to be involved with the ARC Canada team,” said UBC coach Rameses Langston, who also coached Mascott with the B.C. provincial U18 rep team years ago. “I know this is something he had on his rugby goals for quite some time and it is nice to see his hard work being noticed.” Langston said Mascott is getting closer and closer to where he was prior to the accident. “Any player that has that type of traumatic injury that affects his ability to move around, is definitely going to show over a time a need to get back to where he is,” the coach said. Mascott is a leader on the team, both with his actions and his words. “Alex has the right sense of when he needs to verbally communicate with the guys and get them going and then he also sets a fantastic tone on the field in terms of his play,” he said. Langston also predicts a bright future in the game for his player. “I am really hoping he is able to use that skill and that talent to find a place on a World Cup squad one day,” he said. Mascott is a fifth-year student at UBC who is set to graduate this year with a bachelor of arts in commerce, who is also the head of the UBC varsity athletes union as well as president of the Thunderbird Athletic Council. And rugby very much remains in his future as he is considering moving to the United Kingdom for either business or rugby, depending on whichever opportunity presents itself.

‘We’ve got to cut out the stupid mistakes’ Stealth finish on wrong end of 16-15 overtime score in Rochester Offensively, the Vancouver Stealth continued their fine play of late as for the third straight game, they scored 13 goals or more. Unfortunately, the team came up one goal short on Saturday night, falling 16-15 in overtime to the Rochester Knighthawks in National Lacrosse League action. The game was played at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester and the loss dropped the Stealth to 2-4 on the National Lacrosse League season. Rochester improved to 3-2. “We made some good plays out there, we just made some mistakes that cost us,” Stealth coach Dan Perreault said to NLL.com. “They battled hard. It was a close game. Rochester is a good team, they played us hard and they came on hard. It was good that we battled back, but it came down to one shot at the end of the game and they hit it. We had a lead during the game and just made a few mistakes.” The Stealth squandered a 8-3 second quarter lead and needed a Rhys Duch goal with 20 seconds to play

just to force overtime. But Rochester’s Cody Jamieson had the only goal of the overtime period to nab the two points for the home team. “There’s positives and negatives to take away,” said Vancouver’s Garrett Billings. “This team is really coming together as a group … but we’ve got to cut out the stupid mistakes. “I had a couple myself. On that one five-on-four, I stayed on the floor and I shouldn’t have. We’ve just got to clean those things up.” Logan Schuss continued his hot run of late, finished with two goals and 10 points for Vancouver. Billings and Duch each had three goals and eight points for the Stealth while Corey Small had three goals and three assists. Eric Penney made 38 saves in the loss. Schuss and Billings both hit double figures in loose balls as well, scooping up 12 and 10 respectively, while defender Jeff Moleski was also active with nine. As a team, the Stealth picked up 83 loose balls compared to the Knighthawks’ 66. The Stealth will look to get back on track when they host the Calgary Roughnecks (3-4) on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre. Game time is 7 p.m.

Road trip nets Rivermen four out of six points The Langley Rivermen won two out of three games as they gear up for the final week of the BCHL regular season. The Rivermen doubled the Surrey Eagles 4-2 on Feb. 11 and blanked the Vernon Vipers 2-0 the following night. Langley finished their threegame road trip with a 3-2 loss on Saturday night to the West Kelowna Warriors. The results leave Langley with a 29-21-3-0 record and their 62 points means the team will â&#x20AC;&#x201D; barring something completely unforeseen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; finish the regular season in third place in the Mainland Division.

The second-place Wenatchee Wild have 69 points and two games in hand. Langley has four games to go in the regular season. Against the Eagles, Justin Szeto and Zac Masson staked the Rivermen to a 2-0 lead after 40 minutes. But Surrey struck twice in the first 6:24 to tie things up. However, John Schuldt and Zachary Bleuler tallied in the final 3:17 to give Langley the two points. Bo Didur made 29 saves in the next game for the shutout while Jason Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill and Max Kaufman struck for the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only offence.

NOTARY PUBLIC

Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quest for three wins in three nights was quashed by West Kelowna. Matty Saharchuk and Trevor Ayre had the Rivermen goals. Langley finishes the regular season with four games in the next six days. They are in Prince George tomorrow (Thursday) to face the Spruce Kings and then in Coquitlam on Saturday against the Express. The Rivermen host Victoria on Sunday at the Langley Events Centre (3 p.m.) before one more road game on Feb. 23 in Wenatchee. The BCHL regular season wraps up on Feb. 28.
