The Orca Bay Suzuki dealership on Fraser Highway was the scene of a Tuesday evening fire.

Fire crews and the RCMP responded after 8 p.m. to the dealership at 201st Street on Fraser Highway.

Assistant fire chief Peter Methot told the Langley Advance damage was extensive in the service bay area, the southwest corner of the building, with some damage to the side and back of the building.

Crews had the fire out by the time dusk fell.

The fire brought out 27 firefighters and “all their equipment” which included three engines, a rescue truck, the tower truck, chiefs’ vehicles and utility vehicles, Methot said. That’s because it was a fire at a dealership with vehicles, gas, oil, and other serious combustibles inside a building.

Methot commended the fire More crews for their promptness in knocking down the fire.

Langley public school students will get a two-week spring break in 2012 and a four-day weekend around Remembrance Day 2011.

On Tuesday the Langley School Board voted to change the calendar, having students go to school six fewer days but staying in about 10 minutes longer each school day.

The move is expected to save

“It will hurt low income families and cause hardships on them,” he added.

Trustee Rod Ross noted that the district received a 90 page report detailing the feedback it’s received since suggesting the idea. More than 2,400 responses were received in an online survey with about 50 per cent in favour of the extra time off. One third of respondents opposed the calendar changes and the rest were neutral.

The calendar must be approved each year as required by the School Act.

There were some lively exchanges and plenty of policy chewed over at an all candidates meeting.

by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Crime, pensions, fighter jets, carbon trading, and hospital wait times were among the fodder for a two-hour meeting of Langley’s five federal candidates on Wednesday evening.

Rebecca Darnell (Liberal), Piotr Majkowski (NDP), Craig Nobbs (Pirate Party), Carey Poitras (Green), and incumbent Mark Warawa (Conservative) took a few shots at one another’s parties during the two-hour meeting. However, for most of the two hours, the candidates stuck to policies while answering audience questions at the Kwantlen Polytechnic University auditorium.

Majkowski said his party opposes giving more tax breaks to billionaires while ordinary people are being hit with the HST and hospitals are falling apart.

By profession a nurse, Majkowski said the NDP created health care and was the most trustworthy party when it comes to defending it from privatization. Strong public investment can create economic growth better than tax cuts, he said.

Warawa talked up the Conservatives’ record on the economy, including new jobs created in the past two years and an unemployment rate lower than that in the U.S. The Conservatives will work on job creation, support for seniors and families, eliminating the deficit by 2014, supporting the military, and being tough on crime, he said.

The federal candidates for Langley, from left to right, are Mark Warawa, Carey Poitras, Craig Nobbs, Piotr Majkowski, and Rebecca Darnell.

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

Warawa also returned several times to accusations that the opposition parties will form a “reckless coalition” and had caused an “unnecessary election,” terms that caused a few laughs and jeers from nonConservatives in the audience.

Poitras called on voters to switch to Greens, saying it was a positive option. She said she had spent too long “voting against something, instead of something I could believe in.”

She also criticized the parties in Parliament for acting like children on a playground.

Darnell criticized the Tories for causing the election by being found in contempt of Parliament.

“On numerous occasions, many occasions, they broke the rules,” she said.

She also characterized the tough-on-crime plans of the Conservatives as fearmongering, pointing to a declining crime rate.

Prevention and programs to help criminals re-integrate would do more than larger prisons to cut crime, she said.

Nobbs, who is running for the newly

formed Pirate Party’s platform of privacy rights, copyright and patent reform, and open government, urged voters to look up as much information as possible before casting a vote.

“Don’t believe what I tell you, find out for yourself,” he said.

The evening saw a few flashes of passion from the candidates.

When asked about a law that would have provided cheap medications for poor people in developing countries, Warawa used the question as an opportunity to take a shot at the oppos-

ition parties.

“It was about greed for power, a coalition that wanted to form a coalition government,” he said.

He went on to say that he had opposed the NDP-sponsored bill because of a lack of patent protection and quality guarantees.

“His interest in big companies is more important than people dying,” Majkowski shot back.

Darnell also attacked Warawa over Conservative spending, slamming the ruling party for the “fake lake” issue during the G20, and the proposed purchase of new fighter jets, without their engines.

“They’re just going to continue to spend and spend and spend,” Darnell said.

Warawa accused the Liberals of overtaxing Canadians during the 1990s.

“We believe in low taxes, they believe in high taxes,” he said.

Majkowski accused the Conservatives of not explaining how they will find $11 billion of savings to balance the budget.

In 2008, the NDP came in second in the popular vote in Langley for the first time in decades.

Piotr Majkowski, running for the New Democrats this time, said said he wants to do more than to just hold that spot.

“What we’re trying to do is win,” said the first-time federal candidate.

Majkowski estimates that by April 21 he has knocked on about 3,200 doors, meeting thousands of local residents.

“I have blisters all over my feet from all the campaiging I’ve done,” he said.

The 12-hour days are leaving him both tired and energized at the same time, he said Majkowski originally came to Canada at the age of seven, in 1991.

His father had left Poland in 1987 to make a new life for himself in Canada, and sponsored his family as soon as he was able.

Majkowski’s father, an engineer by training, ran a number of small businesses, including a construction contracting firm and a deli in downtown Langley City.

As a teenager Majkowski was interested in helping others, and in biology.

A stint as a medical cadet at Langley Memorial also helped propel him towards a career in nursing.

To put himself through school, Majkowski followed in his parents footsteps and started his own business, a small catering firm.

Since then, he’s worked in the

About 150 members of a rare amphibian species were marked and released into the wild last week by the Greater Vancouver Zoo. The Oregon spotted frog, declared endangered in 1999, has been bred by the zoo for more than a decade as part of a recovery program.

Last Thursday, a team of biologists marked the frogs for identification, and on Friday the subadult frogs were allowed to hop back into the wild.

The frogs exist in the wild in Canada in three scattered wetland locations.

One of those locations was discovered directly across the street from the zoo.

It turns out that the endangered animals were still breeding on the land owned by the Canadian Forces to the north of Aldergrove. The zoo was involved with the project even before the frogs on their doorstep came to light.

The spotted frogs are raised as tadpoles in large tanks, kept indoors in the winter and outdoors in the summer. They eat a diet of pureed lettuce and bloodworms until they sprout legs, then switch to

crickets raised by the keepers.

The frogs can be identified by black blotches with light centres on their heads and backs. They have a pair of parallel, light brown or orange ridges that run from just behind their eyes all the way down their backs.

Their mating call consists of a series of five to 50 clucks, which sounds like someone softly clicking their tongue on the roof of the mouth, or like a tapping on a log.

The zoo has been working on its breeding program with several local groups, including the Mountain View Conservation Centre. Frogs are often released in the Fraser Valley near Chilliwack.

LAPS

Students save pregnant dog A pair of dogs dropped off at the shelter have multiplied.

by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The Patti Dale Animal Shelter recently took in a couple of lost dogs from fairly far afield.

The Aldergove shelter, run by the Langley Animal Protection Society, took delivery of two Australian cattle dogs at the end of February, said shelter director Sean Baker.

The dogs had been

found in the snow by the side of the road near Cranbrook by a few Trinity Western University students. They turned the dogs over to a local vet’s office, which in turn passed them along to LAPS – but only after determining that the female was pregnant.

Amber and Willis, as the dogs were dubbed by shelter staff, settled in, and around March 2, Amber got ready to give birth.

Staff sat up for five nights in shifts until the pups were born on March 7. Expecting four pups, they were surprised with

five, four males and one female.

With the puppies six weeks old, the shelter is starting to think about new homes for their surprise family from Cranbrook.

To adopt one of the pups, people will have to go through a pre-screening interview by phone, a visit to the shelter to meet the pups, and a written application.

Once five applicants are chosen, they will need to complete some lessons with their puppies.

LAPS and the shelter can be reached at 604-8575055.

Traffic joins the election agenda It’s always fun to see an election issue emerge from out of nowhere during campaign season.

The latest issue is gridlock, one taken up by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and, this week, by Metro Vancouver. Not to mention questions about traffic and transportation lobbed at Langley’s candidates during the Tuesday night Chamber of Commerce meeting.

Despite the many jobs available in Langley, many residents must still commute.

Whether that’s a lengthy car commute to downtown Vancouver, a trip via bus and SkyTrain to SFU or UBC, or even a 20-minute bike ride, traffic affects everyone. For many commuters, it affects them by sucking hours from their day and cash from their wallet.

So asking the federal government to do something about our local roads is well worth the effort.

The primary need is funding. That means not just money for building new bridges or SkyTrain lines, but the ongoing, stable funding that can operate transit and fix potholes.

The feds – whoever forms the next government – needs to treat this demand seriously. For too long, Ottawa politicians have favoured funding for big-dollar projects, posing for pictures with shovels, and then vanishing to leave the operation of the system to the province and underfunded municipalities and TransLink.

While we are pushing for a better transportation system, it might also be a good time to put aside feuds between drivers and transit users, or drivers and cyclists.

Drivers, including truckers, should remember that every person who gives up commuting by car makes more room on the road for them. We need to integrate cycling, driving, buses, and light rail travel in the way that does the most for the least money.

It’s time for the feds to help with that.

Vandalism disheartens

to contact the RCMP. I would like to thank the ongoing efforts of my overworked sign team.

They have been diligent, working in the rain, hail, and cold to repair and replace these damaged signs to the best of their ability.

It is disheartening to see their work being destroyed. I too am disheartened at this flouting of democracy.

Rest assured, the lack of Mark Warawa Conservative signs in Langley is not complacency – it’s criminality.

Greed fuels gas price hike Dear Editor, Many of us have made comments about the cost of gasoline and no one seems to care.

The government doesn’t care, because it is making money on the taxes that are paid for gas.

The gasoline providers don’t care, because they are making money.

Both are hurting the consumer, and neither cares.

I watched the price of gasoline at the corner of Fraser Highway and 216th Street go from $1.33 to

$1.36 to $1.32 in a 24-hour period.

No one can tell me that the upward change was because they received a new tanker of gasoline.

No one can explain why it suddenly dropped.

This is nothing but outand-out greed.

And apparently, it’s legal.

Go figure that one.

And you know what? Not one of the soon-to-be new government representatives – municipal, provincial, or federal – could give a hoot.

This affects all of us.

Mary Greczmiel, Langley

I don’t have an expense account to defer the cost to taxpayers, as municipal, provincial, and federal government representatives do, and I certainly don’t have a salary increase to pay the difference in the expenses I have to pay in order to get to work.

Gee, golly, gosh, and shucks, I am certainly not receiving a $2,000 bonus from my employer for turning up at work, like ICBC. That would buy me gasoline for my vehicle for almost two years. How nice is that?

This will all lead to a huge cost to the government. Soon, enough people won’t be able to pay for the gasoline they need to get to work – and out in the hinterlands of the Fraser Valley, where there is little if no transit, and few people will be able to make it to work.

And then companies will start to suffer, because employees can’t make it to work, so there will be layoffs.

And then the banks will be dealing with defaults on mortgages, and people will be trying to save their money to buy groceries that will now be more expensive because of gas prices, so they will start buying less and less, and that will impact local grocers…

And the tale goes on.

This government is quite happy to hurt the consumer with high gas prices and allowing high credit card interest rates.

These are the two biggest issues. Both affect the other issues identified in the current political races: health care, senior care, housing, etc.

Put more money in our pockets, and the rest will take care of itself.

196th Street overpass

Citizen feels betrayed Dear Editor, The 196th Street overpass issue won’t be over for a long time.

Betrayal of the citizens of Langley by Langley City Council and affiliates will not be forgotten for a long time.

We had put our trust and well-being into the hands of the wrong people, and that has taught us a very valuable lesson.

Is it any wonder that people have no trust in politicians, after what they all have pulled on us, the most vulnerable of citizens, the elderly?

Shame on them, and especially those who regard themselves as Christians. How very underhanded can you get, and still regard yourselves as Christians?

Or, perhaps it is only one or two of them, and the rest, just plain, old, money-grabbing politicians.

The money must have come from somewhere to sell us out to Surrey.

The benefit to the City of Langley has yet to be justified to any of us. Council members will be remembered for a very long time, but not with fondness, and that will be realized by the majority before too long.

L. Lavigne, Langley City

Fuelish thinking?

With the price of fuel reaching over $1.25 a litre some thoughts about improving fuel economy are in order.

The best improvement in fuel economy will be gained by changing your driving habits and how you use your car. Combing trips and reducing short trips are the two single most important elements in this quest, as well as reducing racing from light to light and eliminating excessive idling. Anytime you know you will be idling for more than 30 seconds turning of your engine will save you money and reduce pollution.

The second side of the equation is proper maintenance. Maintaining your car not only will increase its lifespan, it will improve its fuel economy and reduce emissions, not to mention reducing unexpected breakdowns. While everyone would like to find a miraculous product they can add to their car to increase its fuel economy, extensive testing by the US Federal Trade Commission has found Synthetic oils to be one of the only simple things you can do to an engine to improve its fuel economy, most additives and gadgets are just plain junk.

Switching your engine oil to synthetic oil is easily performed at its next regular maintenance service, other oils like transmission and differential oils may be changed over as well. Other important maintenance checks and inspections can be performed to optimize your fuel economy and ensure its running at peak efficiency.

Last of all, anytime your vehicles Check Engine Light is on, chances are its fuel economy is suffering and your engine is polluting excessively. Running around with that light on is just poor environmental practice, let alone increasing the likelihood of you being stuck on the side of the road.

The staff of trained technicians at PRECISION AUTO SERVICE, would be happy to help you with all your vehicle needs. To schedule an appointment call 604.530.9394 or stop in to meet us at 22575 Fraser Highway, in Murrayville.

Township council

Tax increase passes council The final vote on the Township’s budget was not unanimous, with the mayor voting against it.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley Township’s mayor tried to avoid an argument on Monday night as councillors criticized him during the final vote on the annual budget.

By a vote of six to two, the council approved a 3.95 per cent tax increase as part of the budget, along with some increases in sewer, water, and garbage costs.

Mayor Rick Green and Councillor Kim Richter voted against the increase. Coun.

Mel Kositsky was absent.

Green began the debate by remarking it was more of a “staff budget” than a council budget, and said he was opposed.

Several other councillors jumped on his comments.

“Tell me a better process,” said Coun.

Steve Ferguson.

Coun. Jordan Bateman called Green “a passenger” during the budget process, which began in January, saying he hasn’t contributed significant ideas.

“What item in the budget do you cut if you don’t agree with it?” asked Coun.

Bob Long.

Green typically deflected the councillors’ questions, saying they simply had to “agree to disagree.”

The budget is going ahead with a tax increase, but will not have a series of small cuts that were proposed earlier in the year. Better than expected growth means just enough revenues to make cuts, to community gardens, hanging baskets, and museums, unnecessary.

A series of parks projects, including a new turf field and a new field house, are being funded in partnership with outside groups and by borrowing from municipal reserves.

Bateman said things would have been worse, had not Township staff identified $1.4 million in cuts and cost reductions during the budget process.

Forum held at the seniors centre Four of five of Langley’s federal election candidates took part in a forum Monday organized by the Council of Canadians at the Langley Seniors Resource Centre.

The lone no-show was incumbent Conservative candidate Mark Warawa.

Organizer Peter Thompson sug-

Warawa said, however, that he told organizers well in advance, as he had an appointment to meet voters at another location. He was campaiging that afternoon at the Magnolia Gardens seniors residence.

From left to right, the candidates are Rebecca Darnell, Piotr Majkowski, Craig Nobbs, Carey Poitras, and Mark Warawa.

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley’s five candidates for Parliament met Tuesday night for a low-key question-and-answer session organized by the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce.

Running for election are Mark Warawa, the Conservative incumbent, Carey Poitras of the Greens, Craig Nobbs of the Pirate Party, Piotr Majkowski of the NDP, and Rebecca Darnell of the Liberals.

The candidates spent most of their time talking policy, rather than trying to land jabs on their opponents, as they answered 10 questions about business issues posed by chamber president Milt Kruger.

The candidates were unanimous on a few issues. Keeping the Aldergrove border crossing open, and possibly expanding its hours, got the support of all candidates.

While they all wanted better transit funding, there were some differences. Darnell took aim at tolled bridges.

“If you build it and you toll it, they won’t come,” she said.

Majkowski talked up the NDP’s

Matthew Claxton Langley Advance

tax credits for small businesses.

“Let’s invest in Canada’s small businesses today,” he said.

Warawa went even further.

“You’re the heart, the economic engine of Canada,” he said.

While many of the questions focussed on local and businessrelated issues, such as dredging the Fraser River, issues like pension plans, health care costs, and minority governments came up.

Poitras called for a renewal of democracy, saying question period is a “showcase for behaviour we wouldn’t tolerate from our children.”

“The Liberal government has historically been able to play in the

sandbox with others,” Darnell said.

Warawa, however, blamed the other parties in the House of Commons for the current election and for blocking legislation.

“They will not work with us, and it’s very discouraging,” he said.

He also pointed out that the justfinished Parliament was the longest-serving minority government in Canadian history.

Nobbs, whose new Pirate Party is focussed on intellectual property, privacy, and internet issues, was greeted with a hearty “Ahoy!” from the crowd as he was introduced.

He responded with a restrained “Arrrrr…”

Education

Teachers’ union grieving calendar changes …continued from A1

Burton had proposed amending the motion to say the district would return to the standard provincial school calendar as soon as possible to make it clear the board’s

intent, even though he maintained that he would be voting against changing the calendar.

The savings come mostly from cuts to CUPE staff (special education assistants, aides, bus drivers,

clerical staff, etc).

“It’s unfortunate that the district’s in this position,” said Donna Mason, the CUPE Local 1260 president.

Her members don’t like the loss of work and pay

but are resigned in the current budget situation.

“The vote demonstrated to us that they’re listening,” she said.

The district had also looked at an option that would reduce the calendar

the same number of days but save almost $700,000 by not cutting CUPE staff time. Mason said the board did go with an option that inflicted less pain on local 1260 members.

“We still have to work on the plans as to what this is going to look like,” she said.

District Parent Advisory Council president Megan Dykeman-Porohowski said this choice seems to be the least impactful and that the district has put careful thought and debate into the cuts it’s having to make.

The Langley Teachers’ Association members won’t see their pay reduced but the union still filed a grievance saying changes to the school calendar must include negotiation with teachers.

The union, in its presentation to the board Tuesday evening, noted that by approving the calendar, the district is in violation of its collective agreement with teachers.

“This is not designed to enhance student achievement,” LTA president Susan Fonseca told the Langley Advance after the meeting.

She said this is not strictly about the Langley district’s deficit and fiscal problems but a bigger issue.

“The LTA feels that the move to an alternate calendar is yet one more cut forced as a result of ongoing chronic provincial government under funding,” Fonseca said.

While this decision was the middle ground, Mason is aware that there will be more cuts coming in the next few years on the heels of the deep cuts in recent years.

“There’s no light at the end of this tunnel,” Mason said.

Finances

More cuts necessary The school district has to find more savings.

Langley public school trustees will need to make $4.4 million in cuts for the coming school year, not $3.75 million as set out in the deficit elimination plan.

Langley School District had planned to cut $3.375 million for the next four years to resolve its $13.5 million deficit.

Treasurer Dave Green said the cuts for this year have to factor in higher costs and lower enrolment.

The district will look for another $100,000 in revenue, and cut $100,000 in clerical, $165,000 from Reading Recovery, and more.

The district must still find $80,000 in cuts.

AUDITIONING FOR BARD

Friday, April 22, 2011 • A15

Langley’s own Bard in the Valley is looking for actors to be part of this summer’s As You Like It.

More Photos Online Kobi Christian (left), the Langley Centennial Museum arts and heritage curator, accepted a piece from artist Phyllis Atkins that will now be part of the museum’s art collection.

The ship’s captain (played by Barry Buchanan) confronted prisoners Aman (left, played by Nigel Thompson) and Marcus (played by Bill Gerber) during a scene in Aldergrove Seventh-Day Adventist Church’s production of A.D. on stage this weekend.

Pastels arrives at museum

by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

T

he Langley Centennial Museum isn’t just about gathering up artifacts of bygone eras. It also acquires what are considered important works of art from the community.

On April 14, the museum received a piece titled Sockeye Returning.

Sto:lo and N’le7kepmxw First Nation artist and member of the Kwantlen First Nation Phyllis Atkins (Qwoy’tic’a) delivered the pastel she created in 2010. It’s based on a dream she had about the fish run.

“The sockeye has been completed in a distinctive and contemporary style, but features traditional Coast Salish motifs, such as crescents and ovoids,” said museum art and heritage curator Kobi Christian.

Atkins is daughter of the late Grand Chief Joe Gabriel and his wife Maureen Gabriel, and has long ties to the community.

For a time, she took soft pastel classes with Barbara Boldt at the Langley Centennial Museum.

“I believe purchasing contemporary Kwantlen art like this strengthens both our permanent collection and objectives, and our relationship with the local First Nation,” Christian said. “The tie to the sockeye run of 2010 also, in my mind, adds to the interest of the piece.”

Theatre

Church brings real Easter story to the stage Aldergrove’s Seventh-Day Adventist Church is presenting A.D., a biblical dramatic musical.

by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

U

pwards of 100 cast and crew have been working for the past three months to bring to life a Christian story of Easter for this weekend’s stage production of A.D. It’s not the story of a fictional Easter bunny, but rather a biblical adaptation that also reflects of the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, explained David Jamieson, senior pastor at Aldergrove Seventh-Day Adventists.

For the 10th year in a row, Jamieson has used the skills gained while acquiring his English major (including exposure to drama and Shakespeare) to direct dramatic musicals at the church.

This year’s Easter production, A.D., is taken from Acts 27 in the Bible and tells a story of the Apostle Paul on board an Alexandrian cargo ship on his way to stand trial in Rome, Jamieson explained.

Kelly Melnychenko plays a slave girl Verenia who stowed away on the ship.

“This compelling tale features not only Paul’s incredible conversion on the road to Damascus, but also includes stories of other characters like Julian, the Roman centurion, and Luke, Paul’s travelling companion.

Paul, originally known as Saul, persecuted the Christians until he was confronted with a vision of Jesus. Changed forever, Paul endured persecution, hardship, and imprisonment to tell the good news about Jesus throughout the Roman world.”

Thursday night was the debut performance, and every seat for Friday (tonight) is already booked.

This is a testament to the quality of the

Easter shows that the church has hosted over the years, Jamieson said. He noted that in past, the church has presented the show three nights, but this year expanded to four productions.

A.D. will be presented at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, April 2224. Admission is free, but tickets must be reserved in advance by calling 778-549-3896 or 778-808-6317.

A trailer of the production has also been created, and is available for viewing on the church website at www.aldergrovesda.org, click on the A.D. logo.

Noting that the church can hold about 375 to 400 people per show, he’s optimistic each of this year’s shows will be full, too.

“It’s a program for young and old alike, to come out and enjoy something unique in the community of Langley, and in particular Aldergrove,” Jamieson said.

“This is a great opportunity for churches of all denominations to share the heart of the real Easter story,” Jamieson said.

The church, which also hosts the annual Extreme Home Repair and the Single Mothers Oil Change, offers this free dramatic musical production as another way of reaching out to the community.

It’s Spring Cleaning Time: Don’t Know What to Do With Your Old Electronics? Recycle Them!

You may not be as organized as Martha Stewart (she has a three-page checklist), but if you’re like most of us, spring cleaning is a ritual not to be missed. It’s the one time a year we get really ruthless about cleaning up the dust and clearing out the clutter – except for our old electronics that is.

Our old TVs, computers, monitors, printers and fax machines tend to sit in our attics, basements and spare rooms year after year, either because we think we may need to use them again or because we don’t know where to get rid of them.

Well, if you haven’t used an electronic device in more than a year, you probably won’t use it again – ever. And if it’s still plugged in, it might even be costing you money just leaving it where it is.

Virtually all electronic devices – TVs, computers, printers, modems, DVD players, cell phone chargers and anything else with a clock, timer, adapter, memory or remote control – continue to draw power even when they’re not in use. “The extra TV you may have in your basement rec room for the kids, who never watch it, is actually costing you money every day,” says BC Hydro’s Kari Reid, Program Manager in Residential Marketing. “As long as that TV is plugged in, it’s using energy, whether it’s turned on or not. And that will add up on your electricity bills.”

So this spring, why not make it a clean sweep?

Get rid of all your old unused or broken electronics quickly and easily, but not in your local landfill.

“TVs, like computers and other electronics, have components that should be recycled,” says Kari. “The best thing is to take your unused

electronics to a Return-It™ Electronics recycling depot, where they will get broken down safely and properly.”

The Return-It™ Electronics recycling program is managed by Encorp Pacific (Canada) on behalf of the Electronics Stewardship Association of British Columbia. The ESABC established the program in 2007 (in addition to its Return-It™ Beverage and Milk Container recycling programs) to respond to the fast-growing issue of e-waste.

✔ Plug all your related electronics, like your computer, modem, monitor and printer, into a single power bar, then switch them all off at once when you’re not using them. ✔ Switch to a laptop. A typical laptop computer uses 53 kwh/year compared to a typical desktop and monitor that uses 215 kwh/yr. ✔ Unplug your cell phone and other chargers as soon as the battery is topped up. ✔ If you’re in the market for a new TV, look for one with the ENERGY STAR® label – it will use as much as 30 per cent less energy than a less-efficient model. Also remember that bigger is not always better: generally, the larger the TV, the more energy it uses. Make sure your new TV is the right size for your room by dividing the distance between where you’ll be sitting and the front of the screen by 2.5.

“New and better products keep coming on the market all the time,” says Kari, “and we’re snapping them up. Who doesn’t want a sleek new flat-screen TV? But some people are just throwing their out-dated electronics in the trash, or simply putting them in a drawer or a closet because they don’t know what else to do with them. Some people, too, are just moving them to another room where they stay plugged in but unused, which is just wasting energy. We want to see unused electronics unplugged, then disposed of properly.”

Once you’ve done that, says Kari, there are a number of other things you can do to reduce your energy use. For example:

“Remember, too, that it can take more electricity per year to keep your DVD player in standby mode than it actually uses playing DVDs,” says Kari. “Unplug it or turn it off at a power bar and you’ll save energy. And as I said before, get rid of your unused TV! If just one in 3 households in British Columbia recycled one unused television, it would save enough energy to provide all of Revelstoke with electricity for a year.”

Waste management

Fort shows off its ‘can’ do spirit Residents and visitors make use of on-street recycling bins.

I

t takes a community to keep a village clean and green, and businesses and residents in Fort Langley have joined forces with the Township of Langley to put litter in its place and keep recyclables out of the landfill.

A dozen black garbage cans were outfitted with special recycling trays that will collect used bottles and cans throughout Fort Langley, thanks to the success of a pilot project and a generous offer from a local businesswoman.

Mary Martini of Starline Windows initially approached the Township, offering to pay for on-street recycling trays in the village – a service that was previously lacking.

A little research was necessary, and the idea was presented to the Fort Langley BIA. “They loved the idea and got involved,” said Township Engineering Operations superintendent Phil Banton. The BIA agreed to assist with a pilot project and help with the data collection.

For 13 weeks, 13 temporary recycling containers were put out beside garbage cans. During that time, 7,480 refundable beverage containers were collected by community members and diverted away from the gar“This project works because bage dump, without it is a collaboration between any additional adminbusinesses and residents.” istration or operatPHIL BANTON ing costs from the Township.

Based on that success, permanent garbage bins have been fitted with custom-made beverage container recycling racks that were financed by Starline.

Three blue recycling bins have also been placed in high traffic areas and are clearly marked with internationally recognized recycling logos to distinguish them from the garbage cans.

The program is self-sufficient and assists the Township, as it does not require staff time or public resources to collect and recycle the containers, Banton said: “The pilot verified that the recyclables would not be a burden to the locals, as the recyclables are collected by people within the community.”

In the past, Fort Langley residents and merchants counted on long-time resident Dallas Evans to collect their recyclables. Evans passed away a couple of years ago, but other committed people have been routinely picking up the deposited containers, bringing them in to a recycling facility, and keeping them from overflowing and making a mess.

“We are supplying the opportunity to recycle and the program is running itself,” said Township environmental coordinator Ryan Schmidt. “Many people are committed to recycling, and want to be able to do so away from home.

“This program gives everybody the opportunity to reduce

waste and lower greenhouse gas emissions from landfills, and also instills a sense of community pride,’ he said.

“Fort Langley is a popular destination and with tourist season approaching, the timing of these new bins and racks is perfect,” Banton added. “This project works because it is collaboration between businesses and residents who saw a need and are making an effort to help the environment and keep their community clean.”

The Township is also installing recycling collection racks, donated by Starline, in local parks. They’re also looking at following the success of the Fort Langley on-street recycling project with similar options in other neighbourhoods.

Keeping waste in its place: Engineering foreman Greg Mayer and Township of Langley crews recently installed special recycling collection racks throughout Fort Langley.

Encorp Pacific (Canada) believes we can still do better Their School Recycling Program Environmental helps elementary and high schools raise money, while promoting environmental action. Now in its ninth year, the school program continues to grow. In the 2010 school year, Encorp beverage container bins were in 365 schools across BC. That means 151,000 students participated in the annual competition to collect the Encorp Pacific aims to improve most containers. The schools raised BC’s already high recovery rate over $291,000 in deposit refunds and for beverage containers. As one of the winning schools shared $13,500 BC’s largest Product Stewardship in prizes.

Corporation, Encorp’s mandate is to develop and manage a consumer friendly and cost effective system to recover end-of-life consumer products and packaging for recycling.

You probably know them best through the Return-It™ Depot system.

There are more than 175 independently owned and operated Return-It™ Depots and mobile collectors across BC. This system recovers and recycles approximately 80% of the beverage containers sold in the province.

That’s over one billion containers kept out of our landfills. But, there’s always room for improvement. To continuously increase the recovery of containers, Encorp develops specialty programs.

Bear-proof bins keep BC Parks clean Encorp has been busy keeping our parks free of littered containers. In the summer of 2009, they tested 57 bear-proof beverage recycling bins in three BC Parks: Rathtrevor Beach, Goldstream and Alice Lake. In 2010, Cultus Lake Park received bins as well.

The parks receive the deposit refunds and most are given to their favourite charities. So far 235,800 containers have been collected, refunding over $16,000 back to BC Parks.

Another way Encorp reaches kids is through its school tour and presentation. Last year, the Return-It Man team gave 33 presentations to nearly 6,000 elementary school students. The fun and entertaining presentations feature interactive sorting games, full audience participation and a “Recyclator” that shows kids what recycled containers turn into in their next life. Plus every kid gets to learn what it takes to become a recycling hero.

Easter a bad time for bunny advocates Rabbits should not be bought on impulse, say shelter volunteers.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Every year at Easter, bunnies are bought and handed over to children as pets.

It often happens on the spur of the moment, with the baby rabbits bought from sellers online or at swap meets.

It’s a bad idea, says Muriel Walsof, of the Small Animal Rescue Society of B.C. There are currently about 250 rabbits in foster care with Rescue Society members, and another 60 to 70 in their shelter in Aldergrove.

“They just keep coming,” Walsof said.

The busiest time for abandoned bunnies is the weeks and months after Easter.

Walsof said that rabbits can make good pets. But they are family pets, not appropriate gifts for small children. Anyone thinking of buying them should do their research first, and be

ALORA Alora is a female German Shepherd estimated at 6 years old and is just a blast to be around. She loves the water. Alora travels well in the car and is an amazing house guest who is completely house broke but also loves her crate very very much. She will even go into it just to hang out with the door open. When Alora came into the shelter she was very fearful of her new home but now that side of her doesn’t come around too often anymore. Alora could go to a home with another dog given it’s the right match and could also be placed in a home with a confident cat. Prefers a house without young children.

Muriel Walsof said rabbits can be good pets, but should not be bought on the spur of the moment. prepared to take care of an animal for 10 to 15 years.

One of the key problems is that rabbits grow up fast.

A cute baby bunny on Easter Sunday will be a “raging teenager” in four months, Walsof said. The male rabbits will begin spraying everything in sight, and the females will become territorial.

Rabbits are also not as

GARFIELD Garfield has lived a pampered life for his 8 years deeply loved by his owners. Sadly they have had to move into a smaller home with no stairs as mobility was becoming an issue for them. Much to their dismay they could not find a place that allowed Garfield to come. So Garfield is starting over here and is looking for a new home! Garfield has never lived with children, dogs or cats so its possible given the right match that he could live with either.

Garfield has a lot of love to give and is just waiting for the right family to come along. He is a Tabby orange mix medium sized adult male.

sturdy as cats or dogs, and not as equipped to deal with being handled – or dropped – by a child.

They can break a bone, and because they don’t whimper or yowl like dogs or cats, their injury may go unnoticed for some time.

“These poor little creatures suffer in silence,” Walsof said.

Within weeks or months

of being bought, many of the rabbits are being dropped off at the SPCA or animal shelters by families who can’t or won’t take care of them. Others are dumped in parks, or even in parking lots.

The shelter in Aldergrove has four rabbits that were left in a mall parking lot in Richmond at a very young age.

While pet rabbits should

INDIGO Indigo is about 13 years old and sadly her owner had to move to Australia and could not take Indy along.

She is a large senior domestic long hairblack mix.

JEROME Small, young, male Cairn Terrier...

Bedlington Terrier… you decide.

He’s a funny little mix breed just waiting to make someone his proud parent. Jerome needs someone who can gently expose him to the big bad world while providing him with lots of training and stimulation. Wow, when this boy gets comfortable he has endless energy! Zooming and zipping, up and down he goes.

Jerome is house trained and crate trained. He travels happily in the vehicle, safe in his crate. Jerome is not suitable for a home with children. He could live with another dog or a confident cat.

Dinner held for animals

be spayed or neutered, the process is a lot more costly than getting a dog or cat through the same process.

It can cost $150 to $200, Walsof said.

She’s also seen too many cases of someone buying two rabbits, believing them both to be male or female, and suddenly being surprised when they have a litter of new bunnies in a few months.

Other rabbits turn out larger than expected – the largest breeds look cute when young, but are the size of small dogs when fully grown.

If someone has done the research, knows what goes into raising a rabbit, and wants one, Walsof suggests they adopt.

Walsof can be reached at 604-530-3297, or more information about Small Animal Rescue and its adoption policies can be found online at smallanimalrescue.org.

The Township 7 Winery in South Langley is holding an Easter egg hunt on Sunday, with the proceeds supporting Small Animal Rescue. It’s a big help for an organization that is always in the red, Walsof said.

ORBIT Orbit is a 4 year old little fire cracker with a tough as nails attitude, he acts like he can take on the world but we know its all a show. Orbit loves to snuggle on your lap and watch over his surroundings like a true terrier. Orbit is looking to be the only male dog in his home but could be placed with a neutral female.

Orbit also could go to a home with a confident cat.

ocal plant sales can be the most joyful garden event of spring – they offer a huge variety of plants proven to thrive in your area, great prices and the thrill of unexpected and sometimes rare finds.

There’s also the learning opportunities from talking to long-time gardeners – besides useful growing advice, they can point out wonderful plants that up to then had been unknown to you.

That’s how I discovered astrantias – and what a blessing these were when my gardening began to include north-facing clay.

But it does help to be prepared.

Early arrival is best, not only for plant selection but also for finding parking.

Older gardeners need to know a large cardboard box is very heavy when filled and can hit other people as you pass by.

Rainwear helps, especially since this usually has pockets big enough to stash a few thin shopping bags for emergencies. It’s amazing how much you can stash into multiple bags on one arm while leaving the other hand free to select more.

Where your chosen varieties come in various sizes, it’s often best to choose the smaller ones. These are lighter to carry, lower in price – and smaller items are easier to plant. Also they usually establish faster.

The Langley Thunder of the Western Lacrosse Association has added a key cog to the team, with the signing of Athan Iannucci for the upcoming season.

In 84 WLA games, Iannucci has accumulated 154 goals and 167 assists.

After joining the Ontario Senior “A” Akwesasne in 2008, he suffered an injury

If it does not work for you we refund your money. On our website you will find over 50 testimonials with full names and towns from all over USA and Canada. Most of them have listed phone numbers and are happy to talk about the relief they had. No money was paid for testimonials.

Dr. C. Hammoud M.H., Ph.D. recommends this effective fish peptide blood pressure natural product. So does Dr. Julian Whitaker M.D. !I was on 3 blood pressure drugs that did not work well. After starting Bell #26 my readings are generally well below 120/80. Dona A. Anderson, 76, Sooke, BC ! My blood pressure was 157/90 and I had side effects from prescription drugs. I bought a monitor.

Cholesterol Control

Helps to activate naturally millions of stem cells from our own bone marrow. The increase in stem cells released from the bone marrow into the blood stream have the potential to become other types of tissue cells with specialized function. Stem cells will multiply and are able to become heart cells, liver cells or any other organ. Located everywhere in our body, stem cells are even under our skin layered between the epidermis and dermis. This is why an increase in stem cells under our skin may help to create a more youthful cell that would replenish elastin and collagen and thus may make us look younger. If our bone marrow does not produce enough stem cells this can result in many illnesses, especially a weak heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, in fact all healthy functions of our body are decreased. Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential of self-repair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues. It does not contain live human stem cells as these can only be transplanted by surgery and are subject to immunosuppressant drugs to avoid graft rejection.Naturopathic Doctor summarized his experience in writing after using this Stem Cell Activator: Used for all organ and tissue damage, heart attack damage, osteo-arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic brain injury, muscular #63 dystrophy, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, lupus, spinal injuries, and other diseases and tissue damage. The results have been very satisfactory to us and to the patients and the time varies with different patients depending on the extremity of the damage.

Acidic Stomach & Acid Reflux

By Dr. C. Hammoud, PhD - Must help or money refunded If your stomach is excessively acidic it means all your cells in your body are acidic. By correcting the excessively acidic stomach you should not need anti-acid pills to control reflux (heartburn). All acidic cells are deprived of oxygen and are the breeding ground for many illnesses including weight gain, diabetes, stress, vascular diseases and cancer. This fact was discovered by Dr. Otto Warburg years ago and he received two Nobel Prizes. You can change your acidic cells in your body by eating 80% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, fruit). Eat 20% acidic food (bread, noodles, rice, animal derived foods). Full details inside the box. If you don’t want to make major #39 changes in your diet, try Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39 guaranteed to bring your body to a pH alkaline balance. Free pH test kit inside the box. Dr. C. Everett Koop M.D. states that 68% of all illnesses and deaths are due to the wrong food and the quantity we eat. Unfortunately, virtually nothing about nutrition or natural health products is taught in medical school say many prominent medical doctors in print and on TV including the well known Dr. Andrew Weil M.D. Go on the internet and inform yourself.

that sidelined him for much of 2009 and 2010.

Iannucci rejoined the NLL’s Philadelphia Wings this season and continues at his two-goals-per-game pace.

“We are very happy that ‘Nooch’ has committed to a full season of Thunder lacrosse in 2011,” Thunder vice president of lacrosse operations Rob Buchan said. “His experience and veteran presence will be a welcome addition to our offence, and his natural goal scoring and playmaking abilities will no doubt provide excellent entertainment for WLA fans this summer.”

The Thunder make their 2011 home debut on Wednesday, May 25, when they host the Coquitlam Adanacs on their lacrosse turf in the arena bowl at the Langley Events Centre, 7888 200th St. Tickets can be had at www.thunderlax.com.

Langley opens its WLA season with games in Victoria May 20 and Maple Ridge May 22.

…continued from page A29 “Slowly we started taking control of the game again.

We’re fortunate to have a very deep bench and in the end I think that was the difference in the game,” Mason said. “We were able to sub a good player with another good player, but Coquitlam [was] forced to keep their best players on the field for the entire 120 minutes.”

The Mustangs will now meet Cliff Avenue United in the cup final next Saturday, April 30, at Minoru Park in Richmond.

Port Kells Boxing Club pugilists put forth golden efforts in Richmond last weekend.

The club entered four boxers in the novice division at the 2011 B.C. Golden Gloves, held April 16-17 at the Richmond Sports Centre.

In a clash of 178-pound boxers, Port Kells’ Julian Kim, faced Lee Milliken from Olsen’s Gym in Victoria.

when he suffered a bad cut in the second round due to an accidental elbow from Zheborovskyi. It was very unfortunate for Akali, who seemed to be on his way to a good win, according to the Port Kells’ coaches.

Akali was very disappointed as he felt very good in this bout and trained very hard towards winning this tournament.

Finally, Port Kells’ Jillian Sask, another bright prospect with the local club, was unfortunate that there was no opponent in her weight class.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Delays end. You can charge ahead on new fronts. You’ve already entered a brand new world – it is sleek, clear, alive, even nervous, and within this new world, friends, ideas, inventiveness and fun are more important than money.

You’re going to have fun Sunday to Tuesday – and for eight years! Your freedom is growing. The shy, quiet, dreamy and elusive friends of the past decade fall away, to be replaced by bright, sharp-minded types.

This week, this “peeling off” causes a relationship disappointment. For the month ahead, chase money, seek higher earnings, cultivate new clients.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness rise strongly! The delays of April have ended. Start new projects, see and be seen, tackle chores that previously intimidated you.

Despite this surge of energy, one part of you remains contemplative, and is tied in to private matters, quiet planning sessions, government liaisons, etc. Your real “break out” will come in June, when a year of huge luck will commence! Meanwhile, be ambitious Sunday/Monday – luck is with you. Watch legal, ethical factors all week. Change is needed here.

Happiness midweek! Retreat, rest Friday/Saturday.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Recent delays end, but indecision continues unless you make choices based on gentle love, foreign travel/contacts, culture and intellectual pursuits, which all draw you nicely Sunday to Tuesday. The weeks ahead emphasize rest, contemplation, solitude. Retreat, plan, prepare and fulfil obligations. Contact government agencies, institutions, charitable organizations. Your spiritual side grows – and might become, June onward, a significant relationship factor. If your hopes about a special person are disappointed, alter love goals. Be ambitious Wednesday. “Half happiness” late week.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your future looks bright!

Optimism, new hopes, friends, wishes, entertainment and light romance come waltzing in. You’ll enjoy the weeks ahead – even more so because your position in the world is on the rise, your ambitions meet luck.

Recent warnings about not starting anything new are now over. Sunday to Tuesday feature changes, big finances, commitments, sexual urges, lifestyle changes and health diagnosis, all productively. A partner or competitor isn’t thrilled with you, though, so proceed cautiously – all week. Gentle love might point to the right mate for you midweek!

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The emphasis for the next few weeks will be on ambition, prestige relationships, your status in the world. All looks fairly smooth here, no big highs nor deep lows. Meanwhile, your expansion (usually lucky) in love, legal, intellectual, international and cultural zones continues, especially Friday/Saturday – but work or health demands, or your caution, can interfere. Recent delays end, so charge ahead with new ideas, relationships and projects, especially Sunday to Tuesday, when exciting meetings and prospects arise!

Research, financial and sexual commitments are favoured midweek.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: A mellow, understanding vibe fills the weeks ahead. This promotes gentle love, far travel, intellectual pursuits, legal and cultural affairs, education and publishing. Recent delays dissolve; you no longer need to avoid new projects.

Tackle chores Sunday to Tuesday – everything runs smoothly. One caution: the first half of this week might cause a barrier in income zones, or a conflict between sexual desire and ethics. This continues more softly, “workably” the last half. You face different relationships now to 2025, in love, business, with the public – think “enchanted.”

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: A month of mystery, depths, investment, financial manoeuvres, intimacy, commitment, lifestyle changes, health diagnosis and detective work lies ahead. Your life might change.

You’re in a powerful and unpredictable relationship trend. So far (early 2011) this might have been more talk than action, but this week and May could cement you in the age-old way. Don’t expect smooth sailing for eight years – but do expect excitement! Whatever occurs this month could “return” in a hugely lucky way June 2011-June 2012. Romance, Sunday-Tuesday.

But you must change! “Security” sabotages.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: The weeks ahead emphasize relationships and opportunities. Be diplomatic, eager and willing. Don’t stubbornly cling to an outmoded position, especially at work or in health areas. Recent delays and indecisiveness end – charge ahead, especially on work and machinery fronts. A co-worker might oppose you, although the opposition’s subtle, might exist “between the lines” in a conversation or email, etc. You’ll win such a struggle, but might lose a friend: i.e., win the battle, lose the war. Be forgiving! Home, rest are both sweet Sunday to Tuesday. Romance, beauty call midweek.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: You’re in the midst of a lucky, pleasure-filled, scholastic, romantic, creative surge! (January to June.) But the four weeks ahead emphasize work, health, machinery, duties and dependents. Ah, well – it will run smoothly, anyway.

(Except, perhaps, for a wee struggle around midweek when life dictates that you must choose between love and money – with money exercising the most influence. This, of course, steers you back toward work.) Recent delays and indecision pass now. Travel, errands and paperwork fill SundayTuesday. Home, midweek. Romance late week – sober, then strong!

Apr. 24 - April 30 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Recent delays end.

Charge forward with new ventures, relationships and situations. The weeks ahead emphasize romance, speculation, risks, good luck, children, beauty, creativity, pleasure and sports – you’ll ride a winning streak! You face a choice now: on one side are your ambition, your natural personality; on the other lies love. If the love is in your home, you become protective, nurturing. If the love is “outside,” you might unconsciously press it, to end it. Chase money Sunday-Tuesday. Casual friends, talk, travel midweek.

Home, security Friday/Saturday – buy it!

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The weeks ahead accent security, domesticity, rest (hibernation) gardening, nutrition, soul, stomach, Mother Nature.

Look over your retirement fund/plans, protect your children and their future, repair the house, etc. And settle back every once in a while to observe what you’re doing – present interests and inclinations hold a clue to where the riches lie in a very lucky period on the horizon – June 2011 to June 2012. That time might bring a new, better home, the end of an oppressive situation, a child, good things! Your energy and charisma rise nicely Sunday to Tuesday.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Delays end – so do mistakes, and wrong-headed money decisions.

If needed, correct, alter course now. If you need a guide, look at your long-term future, envision it, where you want to be, and reconsider, alter money directions to suit that future. This works best midweek. The Thursday-Saturday period emphasizes a slightly different money trend: your earnings versus your net worth, debts, ability to “grow.” (E.g., do I work for wages or start a business?) You might start something that will grow big in money areas! Retreat early week. Your energy, charisma soar midweek. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
