After losing their 15-year-old daughter and sister, Lidia, in a single-vehicle crash near Mission March 6, Langley’s Ramos family is now dealing with another sudden and tragic death. Lidia’s cousin, Shaun Sutton, 24, was killed last Thursday in a separate collision at the intersection of 16 Avenue and 197A Street, reportedly while on his way to visit his grieving aunt, Angela, who is Lidia’s mother. Police were called at 5:30 p.m. on March 10 for what appeared to be a rear-end collision between a Ford Mustang and a Dodge Ram SHAUN pickup truck. The eastSUTTON bound Mustang had – Faceb ook stopped at 197A Street to make a left hand turn and was rear-ended by a Dodge pickup truck, driven by a 21-year-old Surrey resident. There were three occupants in the Mustang, including Sutton, who was sitting in the back seat. He was killed on impact. “I don’t think he knew what happened because he alway had his headphones in his ears and his music. It made him happy,” Sutton’s mother, Leilani, told CTV News. “She (Sutton’s girlfriend) said she turned around and looked and he was gone.” “I don’t know what my family has done so wrong that we are being (picked) off one by one,” Sutton’s family member Tanya Fincaryk wrote on a Gofundme page that is raising money to cover his funeral costs.

DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

A fire in a second-floor unit of a multi-family residential building forced the evacuation of residents Monday afternoon. No serious injuries were reported in the fire at the Linwood Place complex on 55A Avenue near 200 Street. At least three fire vehicles, three police cars and one ambulance responded at around 3 p.m. Police said many of the suites were unoccupied because the building was undergoing asbestos removal. Officers had to order about a half dozen residents, who were ignoring the fire alarm and smoke smell, to leave the building. Firefighters could be seen using a pet oxygen mask on two cats removed from the building. Some ferrets were also treated. A fundraising campaign by Mountain View Veterinary Hospital equipped the Langley City and Township and Abbotsford fire departments with the pet oxygen mask kits last year. It is the first time the kits have been used by the fire department.

City hikes fees for film, TV productions Raise in rates comes as response to sharp increase in filming activity throughout the municipality D AN FERG U SO N Ti m e s Re por t e r

In response to a rising number of television and film permit applications, the City of Langley is raising the fees it charges production companies to shoot on location. Council gave preliminary approval to the new fee schedule on Monday. The vote was unanimous. Among other things, the cost of a film permit application fee in Langley City has risen from a flat $210 to a sliding scale that appears designed to discourage last-minute applications. If a production company applies more than 10 days before filming, the cost of a filming permit application fee is $300. If the application is made less than 10 days in advance, the price rises to $500. At the same time the new fee schedule would give student filmmakers a break, charging them $50. Langley is a popular venue for production companies because they can claim an additional regional area tax credit of 12.5 per cent on top of existing incentives. The tax break applies to productions east of 200 Street which makes Langley especially attractive because it is still relatively close to downtown production facilities. City stats show the number of film permits issued last year was nearly double the average at 28 and this year is on track to be even busier, with an average of two applications a week. Film and TV production has skyrocketed in B.C. thanks to the dropping Canadian dollar that has made the province that much cheaper for U.S.companies.

Township looks at increase in dumping fines MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Residents who practise illegal dumping on farmland could soon be facing stiffer penalties, as the Township of Langley starts a review of their current policies. A motion by Coun. Petrina Arnason passed unanimously at Township council on March 7 to have staff review the best practices used in other municipalities and jurisdictions for illegal dumping. In the motion, Arnason requested that staff report back with potential policy changes to consider a shorter time frame for enforcement, stiffer fines and escalating fines based on length of non-compliance. From a policy level, Arnason hopes to “send a clear message of deterrence” and to “undermine” the profitability for those who take illegal waste and other soil products onto their farmland.

Although illegal dumping is a problem across the region, Arnason said the Township has the unique situation of being surrounded by 75 per cent agricultural lands, creating a large geographic area to monitor. “I think this is really important to underline that we are not inadvertently attracting soil deposits from other jurisdictions if our penalties are too lax,” she said. “I think we need to seriously look at how we can contribute more of a penalty and disincentive so that this is not something that people are somewhat encouraged to do just because of the economics.” Arnason’s motion complements the new anti-dumping strategy passed by council in April, 2015 that allots $250,000 towards litter blitzes, tip lines, surveillance cameras and rewriting of existing regulations. This is mainly to target those who are dump-

ing garbage, construction waste and large items like sofas on the side of the road, Township director of public works Roeland Zwaag told The Times. “That is different than this illegal dumping (in Arnason’s motion) which has to do with soil deposits (and) construction waste that gets filled on ALR land. So the two are not the same,” Zwaag said. It is important to curb illegal dumpers to protect neighbouring properties and historical drainage patterns, Zwaag added. “Without this bylaw — we’ve seen it over the years — people fill in low lying areas, wet areas, water courses, to improve their own land. But by doing so, are creating consequences for the neighbours and the drainage area,” he said. Metro Vancouver is also working on a initiative to create a regional strategy to combat illegal dumping, Coun. Bob Long said.

“I appreciate the fact that we’re going to check with other municipalities and jurisdictions and I think that’s always really important when you’re looking at assessing fines and penalties and bylaws and so forth that affect a region,” Long said. “Because if you’re lower than everybody else, well then that could be why you’re attracting business. But then at the same time, you don’t want to be too much higher than others, too. So having some kind of a gauge with what the neighbours are doing and other jurisdictions are doing is important.” Coun. Charlie Fox said it is upsetting that people are illegally putting fill on properties and are either “claiming ignorance” or showing “lack of concern” with riparian areas, streams and “fundamental use of farmland.” “I think it is always good to visit this, and revisit it,” he said.

1981 ...

The question of whether there would be Sunday shopping in Langley residents’ future seemed to rest on whatever decision was made on the subject in Surrey. Until it didn’t. Aldermen in the Township agreed to discuss the possibility of a Sunday shopping referendum after one member of council mistakenly assumed that the subject would be voted on at the same time as a pool complex that was under consideration. Previously, council had decided that a referendum on Sunday shopping would only be held if Surrey moved to keep stores open seven days a week. When the proposal was shot down across the border, most of council considered the matter closed. Since Delta had recently approved Sunday shopping, however, some aldermen said they’d be willing to consider the matter further, suggesting a decision could be made within the next few weeks. In addition to a brawl at a pizza restaurant that resulted in the arrests of three women, one of the other big stories of the week in Langley was the anticipated influx of kittens to the local shelter. “Any time now there will be hundreds of litters,” an SPCA rep told the Times. “When the season starts, we’ll get 20 kittens a week for the rest of the spring and summer.” Adopting a kitten from the SPCA cost $3 in 1981. That was in addition to a $5 membership.

Police said officers removed an undisclosed quantity of chemicals in glass containers from a house in the area of 202A Street between 74 Avenue and 74B Avenue. The street was closed Thursday morning and again Thursday afternoon. The CLEAR Team (Clandestine Laboratory Enforcement and Response) and the Explosives Disposal Unit were called in along with the Langley Township fire department and the BC Ambulance service. The Township fire department reported it was called to the scene twice on Thursday and again on Friday morning to stand by in case officers needed decontamination.

So far, no charges have been laid. Police said the investigation is continuing. Anyone with information that might assist police is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. To remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or visit www.solvecrime.ca.

Oversize trucks a headache for City Municipality wants provincial government to enforce permit requirements D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Right now, there are rules on the books that require over-sized or overweight commercial trucks to get permits before they drive on local Langley City roads. The problem, according to a City staff review, is those requirements aren’t being enforced by the provincial ministry of transportation and because of that, many haulers don’t bother getting permits. As a result, the municipality doesn’t know exactly how many bigger-than-usual trucks are rumbling along City streets and how much wear and tear is being inflicted to municipally-owned roads. “It’s a cumulative effect,” said Coun.

The Integrated Collision Reconstruction Analyst Team was called to assist with the investigation. Langley RCMP said alcohol is not believed to be a factor. Police continue to investigate to see if charges will be recommended or not. Any witnesses who haven’t already spoken to police are asked to call Langley RCMP at 694-5323200.

The B.C. government is preparing to increase penalties for drivers who pass school buses while children are getting on or off. “We’ve had 14 children injured, thankfully none killed, in the last five years,” said Transportation Minister Todd Stone. “There are still far too many motorists who are not getting the message of just how important it is to slow down in school zones and certainly not pass a school bus when the lights are flashing.” Stone said school districts and local governments have been calling for increased penalties. Police in B.C. have issued 1,100 tickets for failing to stop for a school bus for the past five years, with 14 injuries during that time. The current B.C. penalty is $167 fine and three demerit points, the same as disobeying a school crossing guard. In Ontario, a first offence of passing a school bus results in a fine of $400 to $2,000 and six demerit points, and a second within five years can result in a fine of up to $4,000 and up to six months in jail. New Brunswick has a $1,000 fine and loss of driver’s licence for every school bus offence.

Rumours of the Western Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vancouver Giants moving to the Langley Events Centre continue to circulate. And a recent visit from Ron Toigo has done little to quell them. The Vancouver Giants owner was seen at the LEC on March 5 during the Vancouver Stealth National Lacrosse League game. The LEC was also hosting three provincial high school basketball championships that night, which could have allowed him to see how the facility operates when hosting multiple events. Toigo was not available for an interview when contacted by the Langley Times. But he did talk about the relocation rumours when he spoke on the radio on March 4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The LEC) is a beautiful building,â&#x20AC;? he said on TSN 1040â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Afternoon Show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The size is just the thing we are questioning, whether we can make it work at that size with the overhead we run.â&#x20AC;?

Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s James Malm suited up for the Vancouver Giants in a WHL pre-season game at the Langley Events Centre in September. The team is rumoured to be interested in playing at the LEC full-time. 2010 when the team was displaced during the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games. Vancouver also played a pre-season game here last September, and that game left an impression as more than 1,900 fans came out to watch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That kind of opened our eyes; that is pretty good support for an exhibition game,â&#x20AC;? Toigo said. By comparison, the Giants had 536 fans for one home pre-season game and 354 for their other at the Pacific Coliseum. With one home game remaining in the season, Vancouver is averaging 5,050 fans per home game. Last

year, that number was 5,815 per game. Toigo hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ruled anything out and admitted it would be difficult to leave the Coliseum,where the team has played since entering the WHL in 2001, including winning a Memorial Cup as the top Canadian junior hockey team in 2006. He did say that playing in Surrey â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â at a proposed 5,000-seat rink to be built by the Scott Road SkyTrain Station â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would be the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first choice. The proposal was shelved by Surrey city council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day, that would be the best scenario overall,â&#x20AC;?

Toigo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(But) that is not in the cards for now.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are still working with the Coliseum to try and see if we can make things work there, but we have a ways to go,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t carry on with the way things have been the last few years.â&#x20AC;? He acknowledged that a better on-ice product is crucial to the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day, people want to see a team win and they want to be entertained and we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done a lot of that lately.â&#x20AC;? The Giants did not qualify for the playoffs this season.

OPINION

Brenda Anderson | 604.514.6751 | newsroom@langleytimes.com

A bit of give and take The provincial government made itself a target for the flak it’s receiving for doing away with a $45/year bus pass for the disabled. For the first time in nine years, the province did boost disability benefits by $77 per month. But those who want to keep their bus pass will get to keep just a third of that hike, because they will now have to shell out $52 each month for transit. It’s understandable that advocates for the disabled are upset about the move, since those who want to keep their bus pass will reap just $25 each month — a sum that does little to help keep up with ever-escalating costs. The government says altering the bus pass program was done in the name of fairness for those who don’t use transit. But equality is rarely best served by taking away assistance for those who need a bit of extra help. Thousands of disabled people rely on transit to access programs, visit family and friends, and get to work. Ramping up the cost of a bus pass by more than 1,300 per cent annually will likely deter some from moving around town. That is good neither for the individuals concerned, nor for society at large, which benefits when all its members feel included and have opportunity to contribute. For the province, the costs of the pass are minimal, as the $20 million price tag for the BC Bus Pass program is minuscule in terms of a multi-billion-dollar budget. If the province is concerned about equity for those in rural areas who can’t take the bus, it might want to consider how it can help those men and women, rather than withdraw a benefit for others. The government’s efforts would be better spent ensuring disability benefits keep up with rising costs, rather than, as one advocate put it, giving with one hand and taking away with the other. – Abbotsford News

In addition to being recommended by four out of five podiatrists, the shoes had the added bonus of thick, grippy soles. Of course, even these offered no guarantee you wouldn’t occasionally fall on your denim-covered butt and watch helplessly as steamed baby potatoes rolled under tables — and between diners’ feet — from where you would then have to gracefully retrieve them (or, you know, so I assume). It’s no mystery why restaurants and pubs want female employees to dress in revealing clothing and high heels. It has everything to do with the bottom line — and a lot to do with money, too. None of this is to say women shouldn’t wear short skirts, low-cut tops or even push-up bras to work, if that’s what makes them happy. But it shouldn’t be a job requirement. I can’t imagine any woman saying to herself, “You know what would make this six-hour shift — all of which I spend on my feet — just that little bit more enjoyable?” Three-inch heels. Waiting tables is hard work, as anyone who has ever done it will tell you. So it’s not much to ask that employees be allowed to be comfortable — both physically and emotionally — in the process. And for some servers, that might not include being looked at like they’re the dessert.

Canada can do better in TB fight Editor: World Tuberculosis Day is March 24. Could we truly eradicate tuberculosis? I am hoping that the answer to this question lies within us and that with a fresh new federal government in power, we might be able to persuade the Canadian public to consider a world without this age old disease. It is tempting to think that this does not affect us in Canada, however, in the far north, it is still a huge problem. Given that one person with TB can infect 10 to 15 others within a year, it behooves us to do something about this. This year’s World Tuberculosis Day will be marked with the unfortunate distinction that we have now allowed this preventable, curable disease to become the world’s biggest communicable killer. On World TB Day, let us consider what each one of us might be able to do to push in the right direction. To quote lead singer Bono of U2: “Because we can, we must!” CONNIE LEBEAU, VICTORIA

Does Google offer skewed view?

MIR ANDA GATHER COLE Langley Time s

Grade 7 student Kolya Lozowchuk laughs at a gorilla in the jungle from within his Google Cardboard virtual reality set. This was just one of several virtual field trips students were able to take when the Google Expedition Pioneer Tour came to Simonds Elementary and Lochiel U-Connect on March 4. The visit was part of a series of pilot tests being done at schools around the world for the new education product. Writer Kelsey Oskam worries the devices will be costly and offer students an inaccurate depiction of the world, making it seem ‘picture perfect,’ when it is not.

Editor: I am writing in response to the article entitled ‘A whole new (virtual) world’ (The Times, March 11). I would like to voice some concerns I have with the new “Google Cardboard devices” that were recently tested out at Simonds Elementary and Lochiel U-Connect last week. I do see that these new devices are extraordinary, in that they are able to give students a 360 degree view of a given area that is physically out of reach, however, I believe that there are problems associated with this new device. Who will have access to these devices — private schools — public schools? A device that allows the viewer to physically interact with the virtual space by turning his/ her body or head cannot be cheap. If schools in the district have enough financial resources to be able to afford these devices then I believe that they should also have enough money to raise funds for schools in poverty stricken areas that are still struggling to fund breakfast programs for their students. Furthermore, I believe that the images provided in these Google cardboard devices will give kids a picture perfect view of a not so picture perfect world. The article makes clear that Google is willing to fill these devices with worldly images, such as breath taking views of the pyramids in Egypt, but I do not believe that the Google devices will ever show images of other, notso-pretty worldly spectacles, such as the images available of the Egyptian riots in 2011. I am worried that the images Google decides to install in these devices will give North American students a skewed idea of what is really going on in the world. These devices should open up our students’ eyes to worldly events, not fill them further with ideologically infused images. KELSEY ANN OSKAM, LANGLEY

Take your complaints about planning to the Township Editor: It seems to me that I see more and more criticism of the planning around the Township in your letters section. Please accept another one. I remember there were some major land development issues regarding the Township selling big parcels of land around Trinity Western University, and, more recently, the announcement that a new overpass will be built at 216 Street to service this area. Someone will be getting very rich when this is all done. Do the development charges

that the Township charges when housing is built take into account all the problems that will be apparent when this is in full swing? It sure did not in the planning around the Gloucester industrial park. Who will pay for public schools in this area? Who will pay for the necessary road improvements? Who will pay for extra police and fire protection? We have the most aggravating traffic problems here and a ri-

diculously inadequate overpass at 264 Street, which was built in 1962 and likely will crumble in an earthquake. Yet, by seeing all the survey work around TWU and the freeway, I believe a new overpass there is a done deal. It is also apparent to me that already choked traffic near 216 Street and Glover Road will get worse. Gloucester was built around five-acre parcels with no available family housing close by, one school that has since been closed

and, most importantly, no public transportation anywhere close, so workers cannot get to their jobs if they do not have a vehicle. It was interesting to note that a golf course and a park were part of the original plan, but neither was built. 56 Avenue is a very dangerous strip of roadway. The only way some of these big trucks (some may be close to half a city block long) can get onto this strip is just to pull out in front of cars. This is not good planning.

Sometimes I think high school students could do a better job of planning, and their expertise would come a heck of a lot cheaper. I encourage everyone to take their complaints about the planning process to Township hall, and encourage them to listen for once to the people, not to their developer pals and to the municipal council who is only concerned about collecting development fees.

Stolen Order of B.C. found Medal taken during robbery of Able Walker inventor’s home Norman Rolston’s Order of B.C. Medal was found last week and returned to the Langley senior. The medal was reportedly found in a women’s bathroom at Cascades Casino. A thief broke into Rolston’s Langley City apartment around noon on Wednesday, March 2. Rolston wasn’t home at the time. The robber took a metal box that contained several medals and watches that are precious to Rolston and would have little value to a thief. Rolston is the inventor of the Able Walker, the wheeled walker that helps seniors with mobility.

The Rotary Club of Aldergrove and the Lions Club of Aldergrove are receiving a combined $20,500 in support from the province’s community gaming grant program. • Lions Club of Aldergrove: $12,000 • Rotary Club of Aldergrove: $8,500 “The funds we receive through the gaming division of the provincial government allow us to help children improve their literacy skills in partnership with local schools,” said Rotary Club of Aldergrove Treasurer Gus Hartl. “The funds also allow us to participate in much-needed community enhancement projects, making our community a better place to live for all.” “The money received from the gaming branch will go to humanitarian needs and services in the Aldergrove community,” said Lions Club of Aldergrove treasurer Tom Latter. “Our assistance includes providing food hampers, eyeglasses and hearing aids to individuals facing challenges. Those families and individuals with challenges are given an opportunity to go to one of the sponsored Lions’ summer camps. We do our best to make pride, satisfaction and a smile our goal. We take seriously our motto: ‘We Serve.’ “I am very pleased Aldergrove’s Rotary Club and Lions Club have received this funding; these organizations add great value to our community through their service,” said Fort L a n g l ey - A l d e rg rove MLA Rich Coleman.

The video called the “Langley 66” on YouTube, has been viewed more than 5,500 times. Less than two weeks ago, 22 of the 66 were cleared for adoption. A Burmese mountain dog was the first to find its forever home on Thursday, said an SPCA representative. Since then five more of the Langley 66 have been adopted. Dozens of people have expressed interest in adopting the rescued dogs, but the

When the dogs were seized from the rural Langley home they were suffering from broken bones and infections, some are missing an eye or an ear. They had been living in tiny cages with no heat. The people alleged to have operated the puppy mill have yet to be named or charged. The SPCA is sending recommendations to Crown counsel for cruelty charges against the pair.

Looking for something fun to do with your family this Easter long weekend? Join the Langley Centennial Museum at 9135 King St. in Fort Langley for the second annual Bunnies & Baskets event. The egg-citing event runs on Saturday, March 26 from 10 a.m. to noon and again from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 pm. Cost of the event is $10 for a family of four. Activities include a scavenger egg hunt in the History Gallery, where participants can try to find all the eggs that Peter Rabbit has hidden. There will also be a variety of arts and crafts projects that families can build and create together, including Easter baskets, rabbit masks, and egg painting and dyeing. There will be live bunnies to pet, relay races, and word from the carrot patch is that the Easter Bunny will also make an appearance. “Last year was the very first year the museum hosted this event and it was a huge success,” said Township of Langley Arts and Culture Programmer Maggie Lukban. “We had six stations set up around the museum, so there were lots of creative opportunities for busy little hands. The petting zoo was a popular attraction and families enjoyed having various activities they could complete at their own pace. This event had a morning and afternoon session and both sold out. You will not want to miss the family friendly event, so register early.” To register or for more information about these programs or any other programs and events Langley Centennial Museum offers call 604-5323536 or visit museum. tol.ca.

FOR NOTHING. face of your skin so that when the water settles and you remain relaxed and still, you do not really feel the water anymore. The tank is light-proof, sound-proof and has a neutral smell. All forces of gravity on the musculoskeletal system and nervous system are eliminated from the extreme positive buoyancy; so imagine a space where you don’t feel, see or hear anything. The tank’s extremely unique environment is designed to allow for a minimal amount of sensory input to enter into your nervous system. This environment then has a plethora of benefits and applications for health, personal development, spirituality, and well-being. Having been a member of the Langley community for a number of years, the Float House Langley owner is excited to be able to improve and positively impact the lives of community members and to tcollaborate with the other Fort Langley businesses in promoting wellness within the community. Float House Langley is proud to offer a beautiful, serene environment for mem-

bers to embrace the benefits of floating and relax post-float in our lounge area. We provide everything our members need to have the best floating experience, including local and organic beauty products, towels and a vanity area where post-float, you can get ready for the rest of your day. To best serve our members, we offer multiple pricing options, making the benefits of floating accessible to anyone. We are pleased to be offering a pre-opening special. Education about the benefits of floating is an integral part of our philosophy; if you would like to learn more about floating, you may visit our website www. floathouse.ca, find us on Facebook and Instagram, or contact us by phone after opening day. Of course, once our doors are open, we always welcome you into the centre for a tour. We look forward to meeting you and guiding you through your float experience. Please visit us at our beautiful location in Fort Langley at #3-9124 Glover Road.

Q: Can I install Vinyl Planking over an existing floor. A: One of the evolutions of the do-it- yourself industry has been the creation of easy-to-use and easy-toinstall products, such as vinyl plank flooring. Similar to laminate plank flooring, it is a wood look- alike product that is much easier to install but still provides durability and flexibility. Unlike tile floors, which have a very specific series of underlayment requirements, vinyl plank floors can be installed over existing flooring so long as it is clean of debris, in good repair and completely flat.

Why were there no heroes in Residential Schools when abuses happened Why did silence prevail Other staff were present who surely had knowledge And not standing up — made them partakers too Did their conscience get seared as they more than once turned a blind eye. Their silence deadened the victim’s cries Did people soothe themselves by saying — they were just following orders and use this in their defense What happens to humans who let abuse carry on. Morals, ethics fade into oblivion Evil always triumphs when ‘good men’ do nothing Similar tragedies are worth remembering All must stand up, speak up for the many victims who often have no voice The world needs more heroes

Generational gap bridges childcare dilemma

Generational gap bridges childcare dilemma KRIST YL CLA RK

n increased employment rate among women and the corresponding dual-income earner families has had a significant impact on the need and type of childcare required. According to the 2015 BC Child Care survey, 63 per cent of families in the province have a care arrangement provided by family members or relatives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 34 per cent rely on a centre-based childcare facility. Finding the most appropriate childcare arrangement that balances the need between the overall quality, convenience and availability can, at times, be challenging â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not to mention, costly. In Langley, many grandparents, even great grandparents, are stepping in to help their children and grandchildren to alleviate mounting childcare costs and provide flexible care that can be difficult to find in a formal daycare centres. These men and women â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many of whom are 60 plus â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can often be spotted at the playground, keeping a watchful eye at a local Langley play centre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or in Marlene Metherelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, waiting for the school bell to ring and for the crowd of energetic youngsters to spill out into the schoolyard, including her grandchild. Every Thursday and Friday afternoon, the 67-year-old member of the Red Hat Society leaves her White Rock home and heads to Langley Fine Arts to pick up her six-year-old granddaughter, Melania. She also takes her for a full day every Saturday. With her daughter, Cindy, and son-in-law, Terrell, doing shiftwork, Metherel has been a regular

caregiver for her granddaughter since she was born. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They needed the help â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be doing it for this long, but it has worked out really good for all of us,â&#x20AC;? said Metherel, who estimates she spends a minimum of 15 hours a week with her granddaughter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way I look at it, I get the chance to be close to herâ&#x20AC;Ś I worked full time when my kids were young and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the chance to spend as much time with them.â&#x20AC;? School and extracurricular activities like karate occupies most of their time together during the week. On weekends, the pair head out to a local park, community event, or enjoy staying inside, snuggled up on the couch reading together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I watch for things that are going on like country fairsâ&#x20AC;Ś Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be taking her to a live production at the Bell Centre soon. We have a lot of fun together.â&#x20AC;? And while Metherel wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trade being a parent for anything in the world, she admits itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more fun to be a grandma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the full responsibility and they go back to the parents again at the end of the day,â&#x20AC;? she laughed When it comes to dishing out advice to fellow grandparents who are caring for school-aged children or considering lending a helping hand on a regular basis, Metherel keeps it simple and straightforward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are not the parents anymore, so you can relax and enjoy them. From the grandparents Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met along the way, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what they do.

Those early years go fast… take the time to love them. You’ll be creating special memories together.” Marge Smith (at her request, Marge’s last name has been changed to protect her privacy) shares Metherel’s sentiment about spending quality time with her grandchildren and has a similar care arrangement, multiplied by two. The 80-year-old Langley City watches her two granddaughters, Baylee, 4, and Jordan, 6, every Monday as well as on the occasional weekend for a sleepover. Smith says she’s happy to help minimize childcare costs, while getting to spend quality time with both granddaughters. “You know how much day care costs these days? It’s just too unaffordable for many families with more than one child.” Chasing after a preschooler, six-year-old, and sometimes – their family dog, is no easy feat – even for a young parent. To keep up with her two active granddaughters, Smith works out regularly at the gym. “I’ve been going to the gym for many years,” she noted. “I’m in fairy good shape. Nobody believes I’m 80. I don’t run with them, but we’ve gone on lots and lots of walks.” And while the retired accountant is happy to help out with childcare when needed, she is first and foremost a grandma. “I’m so lucky to have so much time with them… they’re sort of growing up with me. And they’re such great children too. They never give me any problems.” A post on the Langley Moms Facebook group asking participants to share their stories about their senior parents who help out with childcare on a consistent basis, resulted in a outpour of positive messages from grateful moms. “My mom and dad are amazing!!” posted Kaylie Stratfford. “They help out with the grandkids, don’t miss a soccer game or practice. They volunteer like crazy for the church and my mom is helping organize a women’s conference convention this summer. She has been planning it for over two years, and there are ladies coming from all over Canada.. My dad is a retired teacher and my mom is a retired infant/toddler educator for the Salvation Army. In addition to all their volunteer work and exponential grandparent duties, my mom takes care of my elderly grandmother who lives at Harrison Pointe and my dad is on the strata council at his Langley townhome.“ Another post was from a young mother of one, whose great grandmother is assisting her with her childcare situation. “My mom is 71 and watches my daughter Friday after school until Monday morning… My “mom” is actually MY grandmother -- she raised me since I was two months old. Now she’s helping with my daughter who is her great grand daughter.”

Kidney donation ‘the easiest thing I’ve ever done’ Sheila Fraser challenges 25,000 Langley residents to join organ donor registry by the end of the year MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

She says it was “the easiest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” and now, seven years after donating her kidney, Sheila Fraser is challenging others in Langley to step up and do the same. By the end of 2016, Fraser hopes 25,000 residents will join the organ donor registry — whether as living donors or deceased — to help save the lives of hundreds of patients needing new kidneys, lungs, hearts and other vital organs. According to BC Transplant, there are more than 500 British Columbians currently on the wait list for an organ transplant, and that need far outweighs the number of organs available. For kidneys alone, there are 448 people in B.C. on the wait list, including 12 people in Langley.

And with an average five-year wait period for a transplant, some may pass away before they can get the surgery they need. “That really hit home for me,” Fraser said. Her transplant journey began nearly 20 years ago when a serious car accident almost claimed her life. Had it not been for “the kindness of strangers,” Fraser believes she may not have survived. And although recovered now, a comment her mother made while she lay in a hospital bed made a permanent impact: “God kept you alive for a reason, pay if forward.” Fraser had the opportunity to do so a few years later. While working at the former Mikasa store in Langley, she learned that her co-worker’s husband desperately needed a kid-

ney transplant, but could not find a match. Although she did not know Cheryl Almeida’s husband, Joe, Fraser decided to take a blood test to see if they were compatible. She was shocked with the results. “We were a perfect match,” she said. “I found out on Christmas Eve and I called them and said, ‘Merry Christmas, we are a perfect match.’” In May, 2009 they had the surgery. Their kidneys matched so well, even today Joe’s anti-rejection drugs — which all transplant recipients must take — are the lowest dose available. “It was all meant to be,” Fraser said. “It was the best thing I could have ever done.” Not only was the surgery relatively painless — Fraser spent only two days in hospital and was back at work in just two weeks — she has also gained a new extended family in Cheryl, Joe, their daughter, and even Joe’s family members in Portugal, who sent

In addition to adding 25,000 more Langley residents to the donor registry — there are currently

23,651 Langley residents who have registered their decision — the Frasers are also hoping to raise $25,000. “It’s to get awareness out there for people to sign up to become an organ donor,” Fraser said. “Imagine if you died in a tragic car accident, but your eyes and heart can live on in someone else.” To find out more on organ registration, visit http:// www.transplant.bc.ca.

Homecoming for TWU choirs

Subm itted ph oto

TWU choirs recently played Carnegie Hall in New York City as part of a week-long tour on the east coast. Prior to New York, they spent two days in Ottawa singing at Parliament Hill, Southminster United Church and St. Peter and St. Paul’s Anglican Church. The choirs will also be performing at the upcoming Sacred Space concerts in Surrey and Abbotsford.

On the heels of a successful tour to Ottawa and New York City, the choirs of Trinity Western University are presenting Sacred Space, a pair of concerts in Surrey and Abbotsford on March 18 and 19. They will perform with the student and community orchestra of TWU’s School of the Arts, Media + Culture. With music ranging from the Renaissance to contemporary Canadian works, Sacred Space was conceived as a meditative and meaningful preparation for Easter. Distinguished soprano Alison Nystrom, a voice instructor at TWU, is the featured soloist in this award-winning oratorio by Toronto-based composer Allan Bevan.

Spring into the season at this annual family-fun event, featuring a performance of Vivaldi’s famous Spring from the Four Seasons. Audiences will also be treated to a faculty Jazz

duo, and select student performances, including a musical presentation from the FUNdamentals class. Attendees also get the opportunity to enjoy a handson experience and try out a variety of instruments.

The school has recently expanded its popular music programs to include a new vocal course for teens and adults, and a course for drum sets. As part of the festivities, there is also a spring-themed art exhibit by Blacklock Fine Arts Elementary students. The Rose Gellert Hall is located at 4899 207 St.

Turning trash into treasure Some people look at discarded items and thrown-out materials and see trash. Others are inspired by their shape, texture, and colour and — with a little resourcefulness — can transform them into something useful and attractive. “It’s not garbage: it just needs a new idea,” said Shirley Fralick, an artist from south Langley. “You just have to use your imagination and look at it out of context from what it really is. A box of nuts and bolts aren’t just nuts and bolts — they are circles and octagons that can be used to create art. That’s the fun part.” For the past two years, Fralick, who uses found items such as glass, stone, jewelry, and dishes to create mosaics, has been participating in the Upcycling Design Challenge. Launched by the Township of Langley and the Langley Arts Council in 2013, the event inspires residents to become eco-artists and use waste material destined for the landfill to make something new. The fourth annual Upcycling Design Challenge will be held this April at Willowbrook Shopping Center. In the very first challenge, Fralick submitted a window made out of tempered glass and chandelier crystals. In 2014, she won third prize for “Grandma’s Dishes,” fashioned from stained glass, crystal coasters, old crystal dishes, and vintage mason jar lids. Last year, she created an eye-catching red flower made from a ceiling fan and broken car taillights. Krista Daniszewski, Langley Township’s Sustainability Programs Specialist, encourages residents to follow Fralick’s lead and try their hands at creating something for this year’s challenge. “The amount of waste thrown away each day is staggering. We are overusing our resources and filling up our landfills at an incredible rate,” she said. “The Upcycling Design Challenge aims to remind people that, with a little creativity, what was old can be new again — perhaps even better than it once was.” The Challenge is open to anyone aged 10 and up, and entries must be made from at least 75 per cent found or recovered material. Deadline for submissions is Saturday, April 9, and entries will be displayed at Willowbrook Shopping Centre from Tuesday, April 19 to Sunday, May 1. Prize categories include Best in Show, Most Practical, Best Use of Material (clothing), and Best Youth. The public is invited to view the exhibit and vote for their favourite in the People’s Choice Award. Cash and prizes valued at $1,300 will be awarded and winners will be announced at a reception on Thursday, April 28, from 6 – 9 p.m. For more information, visit tol.ca/upcycling or call 604.532.7300.

The Credo Christian Kodiaks had no answer for the Cinderella story of the Ron Pettigrew Christian Lions. The Kodiaks hung tough in the first quarter of Saturday’s B.C. 1A senior boys provincial basketball championship final at the Langley Events Centre, but foul trouble and some poor shooting did in Credo Christian as they fell 69-58. The Lions were the tournament’s seventh seed and knocked off both the second-seed in the quarter-finals, the third-seed in the semifinals and the fourth-seed Kodiaks in the championship final to become the first boys basketball team at any level from Dawson Creek to win a provincial championship. The only top seed not on their list was the No. 1 ranked Kelowna Christian Knights, who fell in Friday’s semifinals to Credo Christian. In the championship final, the first quarter was close with the Lions taking a 15-10 lead after 10 minutes. But in the second quarter, the Lions seized control with a 23-9 burst for the 38-19 advantage. The Kodiaks chipped away, cutting the lead from 19 to 13 after three quarters, but Credo Christian could not get the lead down to single digits. Foul problems played a huge factor as Credo’s Levi Leyenhorst — a first team all-star — had to go to the bench in the second quarter with three fouls. Total fouls were 18 for Credo Christian compared to just four for

Credo Christian Kodiaks’ Levi Leyenhorst goes up for the shot as Ron Pettigrew Christian Lions’ Mej Fernandez ducks for cover during the B.C. senior boys 1A provincial championship gold medal game at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday afternoon. Leyenhorst was forced to sit for much of the first half with foul trouble and the Kodiaks could not recover, losing 69-58. The second-place finish marks an all-time best for the Credo Christian senior boys basketball program. Leyenhorst earned a provincial first team all-star award for his play. The Kodiaks senior girls also medaled at provincials, claiming bronze on the weekend at Duncan Christian (see page 27 for more).

the Lions. “(Foul trouble) hurt us a bit, but that is how the game goes,” said Kodiaks coach Justin Vanderploeg, who also picked up a technical foul late in the fourth quarter for asking the referees to call the game the same way for both teams. “Fouls weren’t in our favour, but that’s fine, you get some and you lose some, that happens, that’s basketball,” he said. Credo Christian advanced to the final after a huge second-half rally the day before, turning a 31-26 deficit into a 62-57 win over Kelowna Christian, the Knights first loss all season against a 1A school. That win assured the Kodiaks of a top-two finish, a best-ever for the senior boys basketball program. They had twice before placed fourth in the province, including last season. “It is a step in the right direction,” he said. “Until we win it, it is just another step. But it was nice to see the hard work pay off and get to the finals.” “And I think it means a lot for the school.” Vanderploeg admitted it is almost nicer to win the bronze medal game rather than lose the gold-medal championship final. “My guys are mature, they handled (the loss) well,” he said. “After tonight, they will start remembering the nice moments of the season, the hard work they put in.” In addition to Leyenhorst, Credo’s Dustin Flokstra was named a first team all-star.

Back-to-back titles for Lightning Langley Christian crowned champs once again GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

One year after winning the first provincial basketball banner in school history, the Langley Christian Lightning have done it again.

And while last year’s tournament title required a second-half rally, there was never any doubt this time around. The senior girls basketball team crushed the competition, winning their four games by an average score of 75-29 to capture their second consecutive B.C. 1A provincial basketball banner. The Lightning defeated

Agassiz 83-37 in Saturday’s championship final held at Duncan Christian School. “Our goal was definitely to bring (the title) home,” said Langley Christian coach Danielle Gardner. “We played hard every single game and they worked hard as a team. “And it was a team win: different people stepped up every game.” In the team’s four victo-

ries, a different player was the leading scorer in each contest. In the opener, a 78-4 destruction of St. Andrew’s, Katelyn Mallette had 19 points while Natasha Dickhof and Hannah Krepp each had 14. Game two saw Ali Wergeland score a dozen points in the 66-26 defeat of Pemberton. The semifinals saw the

Lightning ground their local Langley rivals, the Credo Christian Kodiaks, 7450 behind 20 points from Tabitha Meier. Credo would recover to win the bronze medal (see page 27). The final saw Krepp score 22 in the 83-37 win over Agassiz. Wergeland picked up most valuable player honours for a second straight

Gators rally for bronze

Walnut Grove Gators’ Santhosh Nandakumar fends off W.J. Mouat Hawks’ Jass Singh during the bronze medal game at the B.C. 4A senior boys provincial championships on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre. Nandakumar scored 31 points as the Gators rallied to win 96-94. He was named a provincial second team all-star while teammate Jake Cowley was a first team selection.

GARY AHUJA Tim es Reporter

Things did not look good for the Walnut Grove Gators. Trailing for much of the second half against the W.J. Mouat Hawks on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre, the Gators found themselves down 88-81 with just a few minutes to play in the bronze medal game at the B.C. 4A senior boys basketball championships. But it was a pair of graduating seniors who made their last

high school game count. Santhosh Nandakumar hit one three-pointer to make it 88-84 and after the Hawks scored to go back up by six, he spotted up for another three-point attempt. This time, his shot was blocked — which brought a huge roar from the Mouat supporters — but the ball went straight up in the air and landed right back in his hands. With his defender well out of position now — and with no hesitation

FRASER HWY & NO. 10 HWY, LANGLEY

— Nandakumar calmly drained his second attempt from beyond the arc to pull his team within three points. The Gators would tie the score at 90 with some free throws and after the Hawks went ahead 92-90, another Grade 12 player, Daniel Stead, hit his second three-pointer of the quarter to put Walnut Grove ahead for good, 93-92 with just over a minute to play. The teams traded free throws to close the game with Walnut Grove prevailing 96-94. “It was God’s grace that the ball fell back in my hands,” said Nandakumar. The three-pointer gave the shooting guard 31 points for the game and for the tournament, he finished with an average of 24.25 points per game. Included in that was 21 made three-pointers. For his efforts, he earned a provincial second team all-star award. “We worked really hard as a team and it feels great to finish with a medal with these guys,” he said. “They gave me confidence (all tournament), told me to keep shooting.” Walnut Grove was the fifth seed at provincials and beat West Vancouver 85-47 in their opener. In round two, they knocked off No. 4 Oak Bay 81-60. And that set up a semifinal showdown against the No. 1 Kelowna Owls. Walnut Grove was down 45-31 at the

half before a monster third-quarter saw them take the lead 5955 after three quarters. But the Owls — who did not lose to any Canadian competition all season — would recover to win 86-71 and go on to capture the provincial title with an 86-72 win over No. 2 Tamanawis. K e l o w n a ’ s fourth-quarter deficit against the Gators was the only time the entire tournament they were down after the first quarter. “It stings (but) these are very resilient kids,” said Walnut Grove coach George Bergen about the disappointment of losing in the semifinals. “It was hard to get up for (the bronze medal) game but they also wanted a ‘W’”. “It was hard, but as soon as we started playing, the juices started flowing,” said Josh Ajayi, who also played his final high school game. Jake Cowley, who was named a first team allstar, was hampered by four fouls against Mouat, and finished with nine points. He entered the game averaging 19 points and 14 rebounds. Ty Rowell scored 21 in the game and both those players will be back for their Grade 12 year. Stead finished with 15 points, nine of which came in the fourth quarter, while Wei Chung had 13. It was Stead and Chung’s final high school game.

Burger, beer night for rugby player A burger and beer night takes place on Saturday, March 19 in support of Liam Murray’s rugby exploits. Murray, an elite rugby player, has been chosen to represent Canada in Ireland as part of a threematch tour with Canada’s under-18 squad. They will play three games against Irish academy sides. “Three games in eight days will be challenging not only physically, but mentally and emotionally,” said head coach Dean Murten. “I know (the opposition) will be highly skilled and play at a very fast pace. We as a staff and a team are excited to take on that challenge.” Twenty-six players make up the Canadian side. “This is a massive part of the players’s development and for some of the athletes the first exposure to international rugby,” Murten said. “We can play and train as hard as we want in Canada but testing our skills, decision making and physicality against world class players is where we can learn the most.” The team departs for Ireland on March 22 and flies back to Canada on April 3.

Kodiaks’ season ends on winning note G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Re po r t e r

Disappointed not to be playing for gold, the Credo Christian Kodiaks made sure they returned from the provincial championships with the bronze medal. “Our team was disappointed that they were not in the finals,” said coach Sharon Allison. “Unfortunately, the draw dictated that. “(But) we knew that we would have to play the game of our lives to beat Mulgrave in the bronze medal.” And the Kodiaks delivered, wining 69-58 to place third at the B.C. senior girls 1A provincial basketball championships over the weekend at Duncan Christian School. The Kodiaks trailed 53-48 after three quarters but clamped down defensively in the fourth, allowing just five points while

scoring 21 for the 11-point win. Credo Christian had lost 7450 to the gold-medal winning Langley Christian Lightning in the semifinals. The Lighting beat Agassiz — a team the Kodiaks beat 62-48 last month at the Fraser Valley championships — in the gold medal game. The Kodiaks offence was playing well all tournament, as they averaged more than 70 points per game in their three victories. Credo opened with a 7653 win over Lake Districts and then won their quarter-final game 73-61 over Similkameen. “The team played awesome; they played every game like it was their last,” Allison said. The coach added that her players would need to display self-control and patience if they wanted success. “I told them that their intense preparation and years of training (would) pay off if they were

disciplined at all times on and off the court and it certainly did with the result being a bronze medal,” Allison said. At the start of the season, Allison knew a medal at provincials was realistic. “I had an experienced team that I have been coaching since Grade 8,” she explained. “A strong work ethic was demonstrated by each player every time they were on the court. This led to our success during the season and at provincials.” The Kodiaks have won the provincial title previously, but the third place finish is their top placing in recent years, Allison said. Jaylene Stam — who led the Kodiaks in scoring with 22.5 points per game — was named a first team all-star. Hannah Allison was a second team selection for the Kodiaks.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

In 1988 he married Hope Mavis Poole, and built Redwoods Golf Course which opened in 1994. Larry worked with the Township of Langley to ensure that the golf course property would never be developed and remain green space for the residents to enjoy in perpetuity. He loved to collect information and share stories. For the last 12 years he had been researching and writing the history of his Grandfather Hope, and it morphed into interesting side stories of the history of BC and Canada during those times. He was a voracious learner and this story is a legacy that will be enjoyed by generations to come. He was a strong supporter of communities and charities that he believed in. A private service will be held. A public Celebration of Life Open House will be on Monday, March 21st, 4:30-7pm at Redwoods Golf Course, 22011 88th Ave, Langley, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Peace Arch Hospital Foundation, White Rock, St. George’s Anglican Church, Fort Langley, or your local Salvation Army.

ERLANDSON James Edward (1926 - 2016) Son, brother, uncle and veteran, passed away peacefully in the Ridge Meadows Hospital on March 12th, 2016. “Uncle Jim” was born in Sweden on July 30th, 1926 when his parents lived there for a brief period in the mid-1920s. Arriving in Canada a few years later, Jim spent his formative years in West Vancouver and Burnaby and served briefly in the Canadian Army at the end of the Second World War. He was a long-time resident of Langley where, with his parents, he farmed for many years. He moved from the farm to Fort Langley in 2005. Jim was predeceased by his brother Eric in 1997. He is survived by his niece and nephews, Douglas, Ronald, Joanne and Jeffrey Erlandson. Uncle Jim played a significant and important role in our lives and he will be deeply missed. Jim will be interred at the Valley View Cemetery in Surrey during a private family service on Friday morning, March 18th, 2016. Friends are invited to join the family for a reception at the Garden Hill Funeral Home, 11765-224th Street in Maple Ridge at 1:00 PM that afternoon.
