Warawa wants to get back to work Times Reporter
On the day the government was defeated, Langley Conservative MP Mark Warawa was preparing for a vote that would have seen Canada take action to fight the mutilation and murder of albinos in Africa. The proposal championed by Warawa would have seen the federal government condemn the trade in albino body parts by witch doctors who believe the heads, arms and legs of people born without skin pigmentation possess magical powers. Warawa called it a “horrific evil” in a speech to the House of Commons last September. He says the vote on the issue was just hours away when the minority Conservative government fell. “I was really saddened to see that,” Warawa says. Now fighting his fourth campaign in seven years, a frustrated Warawa says the election scuttled many other worthy initiatives. “There’s so many important things that need to be done,” he says.
Langley. “It’s a wonderful way to de-stress.” Asked to list his top three federal issues, Warawa nominates the economy his number one concern, saying taxes have to come down and so does government spending. Number two: tighter immigration laws designed to combat human smuggling. Number three: support for the military with money for modern gear. Among his top three local issues, in order, are more federal money to improve transit, improvements to the Aldergrove border crossing with a new customs building on the Canadian side that could accommodate 24/7 traffic and heavy trucks in the future. “It’s the only one [of the local customs crossings] that has no room to grow” Warawa says. Thirdly, he would like restrictions on medical marijuana growing. Warawa, alone among the five Langley candidates, does not support reduced penalties for marijuana possession, but he is willing to see it legally used as a medically regulated substance that is only obtained from a pharmacy with a prescription. Currently, Warawa says 80 per cent of medical marijuana is grown under licence in homes and garages directly by or for the user.
For Darnell, it’s all about community
Majkowski’s focus is on health care

FRANK BUCHOLTZ Times Reporter
Health care is Piotr Majkowski’s profession, and it is also a major reason he is seeking office as the NDP candidate in Langley. As a nurse at Langley Memorial Hospital and for Strathcona Mental Health team on the downtown east side of Vancouver, he sees the health care system from the inside out, and he does not like many of the things he sees. “In working as a nurse, I keep coming back to the same issues all the time. I felt I could either burn out or do something to make a difference.” The 26-year-old Majkowski came to Canada as a seven-year-old from Poland. continued, PAGE 5

As a nurse, NDP candidate Piotr Majkowski feels he can bring practical knowledge to fixing Canada’s troubled health care system.
Rebecca Darnell feels that her close connections to the community will help her at the polls on Monday. She is the highest-profile local candidate the Liberals have put forward since the 2004 election, when Township Councillor Kim Richter ran for the party. Darnell,a Langley lawyer,has owned and operated her own law firm here since being called to the bar in 1995. It started as a one-person firm with some occasional bookkeeping help, but she now has five lawyers on staff and seven other staff members. It wasn’t exactly an easy road, though. Darnell worked for 20 years in banking and as a paralegal. She worked at the provincial courthouse
in downtown Vancouver, which she calls “the belly of the beast.” Highprofile individuals and cases such as Clifford Olson, (former judge) Davie Fulton and the Squamish Five passed through there while she was there. At the age of 39, she decided to go back to law school and become a lawyer. She started in 1991 and graduated from UBC law school in 1994. She had prior family connections in Langley and decided to set up a practice here. “I came here not just to practice law, but to become part of the community and to make a contribution.” That’s what she did. She soon joined the Rotary Club. One of her early mentors was George Preston, of whom she says “he mentored about 90 per cent of Langley.”

Conservative Mark Warawa is seeking a fourth consecutive term as Langley MP.

DAN FERGUSON
“We need to get back to work.” At the time the government fell,Warawa was also pressing for changes to ensure convicted pedophiles serve their time in jail, not in the neighbourhood where they lived and preyed upon children. Warawa, a former Abbotsford city councillor, has won every election since the new electoral district of Langley was created in 2004, getting more votes every time he ran. His margin of victory has gone from a 48 per cent share of the vote in 2004, to 52 per cent in 2006 and 62 per cent in 2008. He has also outspent his rivals by more than a two-to-one margin every time. While he has been a relaxed and confident presence at the candidates’ forums in Langley, he is careful to say that he doesn’t believe a win is in the bag. “You never take it for granted,” he says. “Anyone who takes it for granted should not represent the people.” At 60, Warawa, a married father of five, likes to say he is a grandfather of “almost nine” with one on the way. The athletic MP remains the avid cyclist who once took a week-long police training course in order to go on a ride-along with a local RCMP bicycle patrol. He was 54 at the time, and says he was able to keep up with the younger officers on level streets. He still likes to go pedaling through

accountability commitment fairness
She was soon asked to join the Langley Community Services board, and served as its chair for more than six years. During that time, the board and staff had to deal with a very destructive arson fire which destroyed the main LCS facility, and embark on a fundraising campaign to help pay for its replacement. She also served on the board of Kwantlen Polytechnic University for six years. One of her biggest connections in recent years has been with the Langley Chiefs junior hockey team. While she was not much of a hockey fan, she was encouraged in 2008 to consider billeting a young man on the team at her home. She looked into the program and Mac Roy became her first billet. She was enthused by the fact that members of the Chiefs are working towards university scholarships. “Everything I learned about hockey I learned from Mac Roy,” she says. Darnell said she has always had an interest in politics, but was motivated to seek the Liberal nomination as she became more involved with the Chiefs and learned about the saga of the Langley Events Centre. Conservative MP Mark Warawa was lobbied for funds and it appeared at one time that the federal government would contribute towards the construction of the centre, but it never panned out. “I became very frustrated at what I perceived to be a complete dropping of the ball,” she said. “I don’t see we are getting the quality of representation Langley deserves in Ottawa. I felt it was time I stepped up to the plate and make a larger contribution to the community. I’m not looking for a job. I’m looking to expand my contribution.” Issues she sees as important ones in this election are a renewed commitment to health care funding and programs like student loan rebates and other incentives for doctors and nurses. She wants an expanded ability to make use of foreign-trained health care workers. Her top issue is the economy. She says the current government has “out of control” spending, with a record $56 billion deficit. She said the government’s stimulus program “was sprinkling salt in economic wounds.” She said the Liberals would bring in a budget which would lead to sustainable jobs and longterm stable employment.

Liberal candidate Rebecca Darnell says she is running for office for the opportunity to expand her contribution to Langley. She said jobs created through the stimulus program are “short-term jobs, for short periods of time” and many of those who get those jobs “end up back on the public purse.” She also believes that her firsthand experience with the criminal justice system will serve her well as an MP. She asks voters to consider her track record in the community. “I would like to see voters look at candidates on an individual basis first, and at the party second.”

He is fearful that there is a strong movement afoot to privatize portions of the health care system and make it difficult for some people to get timely health care. He sees this trend at Langley Memorial Hospital right now. Under a pilot program set up by the Fraser Health Authority, the hospital is now charging patients who are awaiting placement in long-term care $900 a month. These are patients who were admitted into hospital because of medical needs, but are not well enough to be released. However, as there are no long-term care options immediately available, they must stay in regular hospital beds. “The logic is that we’re running out of

What to do with Dog Poop? Compost it! by
Sarah Harvey
Harvey Pet Food & Supplies
Doggy Dooley is the original dog waste disposal system that uses an in-ground method for easy cleanup of dog waste. Your Doggy Dooley is simple to install and ends your dog waste problems. Having the new Doggie Dooley systems, you can forget doing the messy and irritating waste disposal activity that most pet owners don’t want to do. Simply use the no bending or stooping scooper to place the elimination in the in-ground Doggie Dooley. With the use of environment-friendly additives, the waste breaks down easily without releasing any foul odour. Doggie Dooley utilizes non-toxic enzymes and bacteria to liquefy the dog waste for ground consumption. It works like a home septic system by using pet waste digester to turn the waste into a ground absorbing liquid that is beneďŹ cial to most soils except heavy clay. How to select a site for the doggie Dooley? The Doggie Dooley can almost go anywhere in your backyard. It is important to keep away from tree roots, vegetable gardens and fruit trees. It is a good idea to use some sort of markers like a ower garden or place some mulch around the Dooley to help avoid confrontations with the lawn mower. If you are on well water make sure to check with the township as how far digesters should be placed from the well. It is a good idea to place the Dooley within reach of a hose because it is necessary to add water frequently. Try to locate an area of your yard normal drainage to maximum results. Once the tank is installed to start the Dooley system ďŹ rst ďŹ ll the tank with about 4 gallons of water mixed with 2 tbsp of the digester powder (six month supply of the digester powder is included with the unit). Clean the yard of waste and drop into the tank. It is important to clean the yard daily or as regular as possible. Do not overload the tank with several days of waste at a time. It is important to add 1 gallon of water every time waste is added, and to add the digester powder on a weekly basis. The tank can also be used for biodegradable cat litter (swheatscoop, world best litter, clump’n’ush, feline fresh to list a few) or biodegradable poop bags since it is prohibited to throw pet waste in the trash. Do not put any clay litter in the digester. The Doggie Dooley is made from durable material. It will not break or crack in the cold weather or with normal use. The digester will slow down in the winter so it is recommended to add warm water.

THEY SAY
Listening, at last
Voting and youth
T
W
ednesday’s HST town hall meetings were a good first step. The provincial government is finally making the effort to listen to citizens about the tax, as a vote on whether or not it will last looms. Many people are still willing to listen, as indicated by the 27, 000 Surrey residents who took 90 minutes out of their evening to listen to Finance Minister Kevin Falcon, ask questions and leave opinions about the tax. It’s too bad it took two years for the provincial government to do what it should logically have done first — listen carefully, gather opinions and suggestions and then make a reasoned decision on whether or not the HST was the right sales tax for B.C. The HST may yet pass muster with voters in the mail-in referendum. Ballots go out in June and must be returned in July. It is likely there will be significant participation, as the HST affects everybody and has been the dominant political issue in the province for the past two years. However, if it is to get majority support, the province has to show some flexibility — much more than it has thus far. It needs to look at improving the HST rebate system, so that more people on fixed or modest incomes get some tax relief. Falcon admitted on Wednesday that this is a tax shift, and it is hurting those who are just above the cut-off for HST rebates quite hard. The government also needs to look at the inequities caused by the tax. One questioner noted that, if you set up a business (even without any expectation of profit), you are able to buy large items like cars and computers and not pay tax. Meanwhile, people who are on salaries get no such tax breaks. It needs to consider how the HST, when combined with the property purchase tax, inhibits home ownership, and it needs to carefully consider whether a reduction in the HST rate, even when the province is still in deficit, would be a net benefit. There is no question that the HST is good for many businesses. Thus far however, there has been no appreciable decline in prices, and consumers have seen very little to convince them this tax is worth keeping.

hroughout this election, the youth vote has become a topic of discussion. Students across the country have participated in “vote mobs” — voting at special booths approved by Elections Canada at the universities. In Canada, an average of only 36 per cent of youth between 18 and 24 vote. I’m 19, and this will be my first election as a voter. I’m excited to vote. And apparently, I’m one of the few youth in Canada who is. Many people say the youth of Canada don’t vote because the issues in the election don’t touch them, that we’re apathetic, that we’re lazy. Perhaps, they suggest, if voting was online, youth would vote because it’s easy. It would just take the touch of a button. Recently, Williams Lake Secondary School hosted an allcandidates debate for Grade 11 and 12. Some students there professed a sure dislike of politics, others only attended because their teacher told them to, and there was the occasional student sleeping in the back. However, many students were actually engaged, asking questions. “What are the economic policies of each party?” One young man asked, “How does each party differ?” “How do you plan to improve the health care system?” asked another. Why aren’t all youth interested? I don’t know. Party platforms mostly ignore us, and we continue to be represented by people that only a third of us have voted for. Weren’t youth once the movers and the shakers of the world? The political activists? Those who created change? The youth are the future and if we don’t vote, what will we think of the world we inherit? —Tara Sprickerhoff, Williams Lake Tribune The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

G20 protest political wake-up call Editor: I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about how I’m going to make the right choice on voting day. Which one of those political organizations vying for the right to govern is going to listen to its citizens best, and lead this country in the direction they wish it to go? Until last summer, I was one of those who voted every election but never paid much attention to what was going on between elections. I was always too busy with other things. Everything changed for me last June 27. My girlfriend and I were watching a newscast that showed the roundup of protesters at the G20 conference in Toronto. We watched with a mix of incredulity and horror, as her daughter was taken down in the street by rubber bullets from the police for exercising her right to protest. Her daughter was walking backwards with her fingers raised in the peace sign, obeying the orders of the police, when she was fired on as she reached for her gas mask to protect herself from the danger facing her at the hands of those that were there to protect her. The police charged her with obstruction of justice (for obeying their orders), strip-searched her and locked her up for 36 hours without allowing her to phone anyone. A month later they dropped the charges — which, of course, they never intended to pursue in court in the first place. The charges were a ruse to get the protesters out of their way. Since that day, we have become politically aware and have begun getting involved in the process. We have learned a lot about the changes that have taken place in this country over the last 20 years or so, but in particular in the five years since the Conservatives have been in power. Something has changed about Canada. It’s not the warm friendly country it used to be.
In a democracy, the theory is that the government acts on behalf of its people to do things according to the will of its people. But this government isn’t doing anything that closely resembles my will or indeed the will of anyone I know. These are some of my concerns about its record. In the name of the citizens of this country, the Stephen Harper government: ❒ Turned over Afghan detainees to people they know will torture them. Then they shut down (prorogued) Parliament so they don’t have to answer tough questions about it. ❒ Spent more than a billion dollars on one weekend at the G20 Conference, in the most expensive photo-op in world history, and arrested and detained more than 1,100 citizens on trumped-up charges in a not-so-veiled attempt to show us all what happens when we protest. Last time I looked, the right to protest was a cornerstone of democracy. ❒ In the face of a 15-year statistical decline in crime, spent a lot of air time convincing us that we live in fear of rampant crime and tell us they’ll keep us all safe by spending billions of dollars on new prisons. They tell us there’s a lot of unreported crime whose perpetrators need to be locked up. Then they increase the penalties and institute minimum sentences for victimless acts like prostitution and drug-related offences (five years in prison for growing more than seven pot plants, for example). ❒ Just so we can’t come back on them later with those nasty statistics about the crime rates, and so they can spend money wherever it suits their agenda, tried to abolish the long form census — the only source of reliable information we have that tells us where the government needs to spend our taxes in order to do what’s
right with our money. ❒ Talks to us about their concern for the environment while telling delegates at a world economic conference, in front of the world, that there’s nothing that can be done about the use of fossil fuels without causing economic devastation. ❒ Muzzles their scientists, muzzles those pesky reporters from asking tough questions, muzzles and even fires anyone in their caucus who disagrees with them. ❒ Engages in secret negotiations with corporate interests who seek to privatize the nation’s water resources. Soon only those who have the ability to pay will be able to drink from the essence of life. Harper posts pictures of himself in the halls of Parliament, just like the dictators around the world whose pictures we see being defaced on the news when they fall to protesters. He instructs all the workers under him that the new name of the Canadian government is the Harper government, and they are to change their e-mail and letter correspondence to reflect that change. These actions demonstrate narcissistic traits that, quite frankly, scare me. He appears to be all about power, not about doing what’s right for this country. For 40 years I voted for the Liberals, but they vote with the Conservatives on key issues and look more and more conservative every day. This year I’m following the lead of our fellow citizens in Quebec and voting for Jack and the NDP. Maybe if they got in we could even put the sovereignty issue to bed, and for once we’d all be working in the same direction. I’m willing to chance it. Marshall Neuman, Langley
Answers to question readily available Editor: Re:Diana Sampson’s letter headlined “Question for Warawa,” (The Times, April 27). Reading this letter, I became frustrated by Sampson’s apparent lack of effort to gain the answers to her own question. If she really wants to know what he has done, she should spend a few minutes of research to find the answers. Reading her comments prompted me to do an Internet Google search, and in less than five minutes, I found video after video of Warawa standing up in Parliament, talking about Langley, talking about national issues and talking global issues. Whether you agree with Warawa’s views or the views of the Conservative Party, it does not negate the fact that he is doing his job representing Langley. Sticking your head in the sand claiming he isn’t doing anything (or anything you think is important) doesn’t mean he is not representing other residents of Langley. When I read her letter, without trying too hard I came up with two things that I have taken notice of, things that Warawa has done The
that proved his concern for Langley residents. I am not a member of any political party, nor had I met Warawa prior to a year ago. Last spring, my family and I opened a business here in Langley. Someone suggested that we invite Warawa to help us celebrate this momentive day in our lives. Why would someone who lives in Ottawa during the week and flies home to Langley on the weekends want to spend his time off coming to the grand opening of our little business? We called his office anyways and he accepted our invitation to cut the cake. I had not met him prior to that day, but was very impressed that our representative on the national stage took the time to do that. Does doing that appearance change Langley? No. Does it show how our local MP gets involved in the local affairs of his riding? Yes. At least twice, Warawa has stood up in Parliament and promoted the musical talents of two Langley schools. One I attended as a child, and one my children attend now. Is doing such a thing changing the Langley in
which we live? No. But does it show to me personally how my representative is paying attention to his riding? Yes. My decision to vote for one candidate over another is not based on what I don’t know. It is based on what I do know. And when I don’t the answers to questions I have, I research it. Today’s technology makes it easy to get the answers we want, but it can’t motivate us to make the effort. If you want answers, look for them. Am I voting for Warawa because I think he is a good politician? Partially. Am I voting for Warawa because he makes an effort to connect with his local residents? Partially. Am I voting for Warawa because he is a Conservative party member? Partially. Am I voting for Warawa because I have seen evidence of him representing Langley and representing some of my national and global concerns in the House of Commons? Absolutely. That is what I want him to do. Misty Van Popta, Fort Langley
WHY I’M NOT VOTING Editor: On May 2, I will become another 20-something who doesn’t vote. There are a lot of theories as to why young people don’t vote; the most common being that we don’t care. This is the theory thought up by middle-aged and senior voters. The majority wouldn’t try find out the real reason. Instead, they prefer to see the stats after the Stephen fact. While Harper some youth may not care, the majority of youth I know see flaws in a system the older generation has been conditioned to believe in. In the Grade 11 curriculum, Parliament is described as the place where MPs gather to represent their riding’s views on policy. The youth then head out to the real world, and see the paradox. No matter which party you vote for, you are voting for a party, not a representative. In the ideal world, candidates present ways they would try to bring their riding’s voice to government. In the real, special interest-driven world, groups of like-minded individuals form a business called a “party.” These parties then present their product, their policy views, to voters in an election, and force them to settle for “good-enough.” We’re supposed to elect MPs to represent our interests in Parliament. What we have is a system where MPs represent their party’s interests, and then defend said party from us. In Canada, our system of government actually works opposite to how it was designed, Youth don’t vote because we have a fresher memory of the way things should work, and we refuse to support a system that doesn’t work by participating in it.

He challenged Barrett’s insistence during the trial that he wasn’t directly involved in the violence, saying “[Barrett is] trying to give an impression of this guy who was just sort of there.� McPherson said the two men went to the house to extort money from the occupants, not to ask polite questions. He said the most accurate version of events was offered during the trial by the girlfriend, who said the two men forced their way into the house. “Her evidence has the ring of truth,� McPherson said. The girlfriend said Jackman was far more than just a little upset, describing him as the “angriest� person she’d ever seen, McPherson noted.

A Vote for Conservative is a vote for the Majority!
Clear priorities for Canadians The Conservative Party understands the priorities and shares the values of hard-working Canadians. Since coming to office in 2006, we have been focused on the priorities of Canadians. Our Conservative Government has kept taxes down, invested in training and education, lowered taxes on families and supported Canadian seniors, reduced the deficit while increasing support for health care, and stood up for victims and their families.
These priorities are: 1. Our low-tax plan for jobs and economic growth to complete the recovery and protect and create jobs now. 2. Our low-tax plan for families that focuses on supporting Canadian seniors by enhancing the Guaranteed Income Supplement and cracking down on elder abuse. 3. Our low-tax plan to eliminate the deficit while protecting Canada’s universal health-care system by maintaining 6 per cent annual increases in federal transfers to the provinces and territories. 4. To bundle and pass within Parliament’s first 100 days the key crime reduction bills that the Ignatieff-led Coalition has obstructed. Michael Ignatieff and his Coalition partners, the NDP and the Bloc Québécois, have a fundamentally different agenda. An Ignatieff-led Coalition would lead to higher spending, higher taxes and instability for the economy and the country. They would increase taxes on businesses, families, students and workers. The choice for Canadians is clear: Stephen Harper’s low-tax plan for jobs and growth to complete the economic recovery, create jobs now, and continue to lower taxes on families as we move forward.

UP 42 PER CENT
Strong advance poll turnout ASHLEIGH BEAUDOIN Times Reporter
Turnout at the four advance polling stations in Langley was high over the Easter long weekend, as people took advantage of an early opportunity to vote. The final total came to 5,215 votes cast over Friday, Saturday and Monday, according to Patrick Lucier, returning officer for Elections Canada in Langley. Along with the advanced votes, there were 915 special ballots cast at the Elections Canada office.
The numbers rose dramatically from the 2008 election. There was a 42 per cent increase in the turnout at the advance polls. Polling took place in Walnut Grove, Aldergrove, Brookswood and at Langley Secondary, with a steady stream of voters taking part. Turnout at advance polls was strong all across the country. The turnout was 34.5 per cent over the 2008 turnout, Elections Canada reported. Total turnout at advance polls across the country was
g n i n n Pla ? ? ? y t r A Pa
2,056,001. Elections Canada said the advance voting on Friday and Monday was the busiest ever, and that is attributed to Friday being a stat holiday and many people also having the day off on Monday. Official voting takes place on Monday. Polls are open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. For more information or to find out about voter registration, contact the Elections Canada office in Langley, 604-539-2980, or visit the office at 107-6375 202 Street.

‘Transport gas safely’ from PAGE 12
“They are not family friendly. Why would something like this not be discussed?” Richter said. “It’s a safety issue.” Saying that she has seen as many as six large cans of gas loaded into vehicles, Richter said she wanted support for the enforcement of regulations that require gas-filled plastic containers to be secured in vehicles, as well as proper labels on cans. Because fumes are volatile, it would take only one spark from static electricity to engulf a vehicle in flames, she said. “I’m not saying ‘don’t do it.’ I’m saying ‘do it safely,’ “ Richter said. She will now seek support from Premier Christy Clark, “clearly a family-friendly politician.”

Old barn target of sub-division Abandoned chicken barn no longer suitable for agricultural operation NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
An abandoned chicken barn is the subject of the latest subdivision application within the Agricultural Land Reserve. On behalf of owner Brian Harbidge, Norm Tapp of N and J Developments has applied to subdivide the 29.45 acre parcel at 6444-240 St. into 28 lots ranging in size from 0.92 acres to 2.11 acres. On April 11, council voted to support the application to the Agricultural Land Commission. The property is surrounded by rural-residential properties ranging in size from 0.40 acre to 9.13 acres. Not all are within the land reserve. The Harbidge parcel is in the Salmon River Uplands and above the Hopington Aquifer. In his application, Tapp said that while the property has historically been used for a chicken farm, the chicken quota was

transferred last year when the farmer retired after 35 years in the business. “The applicants believe that primary surrounding land use that has developed around the subject property makes this property less than ideal to restart an intensive agricultural operation on the land,”Tapp wrote to council. “Additionally, the farm would require significant upgrades to meet code for a new chicken operation and its location above the Hopington aquifer hinders its use for food production,” he added. The item came before council immediately after water resources manage Kevin Larsen had given a presentation on the aquifer for another issue. The aquifer is the main source of water for the 2,295 homes and 202 farms. Larsen told council that the aquifer has an A-1 B.C. Aquifer Classification, meaning it is heavily used and highly vulnerable
to contamination. Usage amounts to 308 litres per day per person, most of it for showers and flushing toilets. Rainfall is the primary source (96 per cent) to replenish the aquifer, while treated waste from households accounts for approximately four per cent. Critics of development above the Hopington warn that new construction will expand the area of impervious surfaces above the Hopington, which currently stands at 25 per cent. “Are they going to be drawing water from the aquifer?” asked Councillor Kim Richter. Administrator Mark Bakken confirmed this. In an earlier discussion involving the aquifer, she had remarked: “Let’s not use Hopington water to flush toilets.” “This is in the ALR. So why are we approving it?” she asked. Bakken replied that the application complies with the Official Community Plan. Richter and Councillor Mel Kositsky voted against the application which will now be forwarded to the ALC which has the final word.

Group starts horse hospice

I
f Sharon Wells-Ackermans, a director of the Horse Protection Society of BC has her way, no elderly, ill or unwanted horse will end its life with a terrifying trip to the slaughterhouse or alone in a field because its owner couldn’t face the prospect of euthanasia. The Langley-based non-profit group has launched what Sharon calls a “horse hospice” which, for a very modest fee, will make all the arrangements for a humane, dignified death for a horse, and disposal of the animal. Also included is a day and night’s stay in a private paddock, and generous amounts of love, attention and treats on the animal’s last days.
Choose the responsible way! Two shuttles run back and forth between Jimy Mac’s, Dublin Crossing, and your home! Choose ease of mind. Relax, have fun, and take your time. Get home safe and sound. Let us worry about the ride!

“We see horses put out to pasture who die a slow, miserable death because their owners can’t face the decision to put them down. We want to make it easier to do the right thing, to help make arrangements that can be overwhelming,” said Sharon. Sharon recalls the story of a woman who bought a 28-year old Arab mare with Cushing’s disease at a local auction, took her home, lavished care and attention on her, and arranged for a dignified, humane end to a faithful family pet who had fallen on hard times. “I don’t know who she was, but what an incredibly kind thing she did.” The Horse Protection Society will also offer grief counseling, and arrange cremation or transportation to the hospice if requested. Sharon has already had calls from people facing the same decision for different reasons.

review Superior quality 1 and 2 bedroom homes AND a 1.9% mortgage* We are very happy homeowners. Home ownership wasn’t something we’d considered until Cornerstone came along. One look at the showhome (nice) and a conversation with their mortgage-savvy sales team, and we were sold. We walked in on a whim, thinking, “There’s no way we can afford this”, and walked out on top of the world. Our folks agree — Cornerstone is a smart decision. Marcon has a great reputation; they’ve been around as long as we’ve been alive. And the best part is we can still afford to go on vacation, thanks to our low monthly payment.

Your Opportunity to Own a New Home in Langley’s Murrayville Neighbourhood
The open floor concept creates a wonderful kitchen, dining area that is great for entertaining or family time.
Room for a workspace. Your chance to buy new in a mature neighbourhood rich in history and community values is now, with Winchester by ParkLane Homes. Located in the heart of Murrayville, these 70 brand new 3 and 4 bedroom townhomes can be yours from the low $300,000’s. This is the perfect opportunity for ¿rst time home buyers, young families with children or those looking to downsize to own a brand new ParkLane home in one of Langley’s most sought-after communities. Located east of the Langley city centre, Murrayville has a long history as one of the ¿rst settled areas in Langley. In tribute, the naming of Winchester comes after William and Ann Winchester, who arrived in Murrayville in 1915, and were pioneers in developing the deep sense of community that exists today. Join the lifestyle of living in a safe, close-knit community, where amenities are just a walk away. You can leave the car at home. Historic places such as Porter’s Coffee and Tea House, locally owned boutiques and restaurants, and grocery stores are all within walking distance. With many highly ranked schools
Stainless steel appliance upgrades. nearby, this is the perfect community in which to settle. “Winchester’s location is in an already established, mature neighbourhood,” says Yosh Kasahara, Marketing Manager.” Our buyers recognize the value of living in a place like this.” With ParkLane you can be sure that every detail is accounted for. They look beyond just the building of homes, and consider how the site will integrate into the broader community. “Winchester enhances what Murrayville already has to offer with a new park on site, containing preserved mature trees, additional trails and a playground for children.” says Kasahara. ParkLane is one of the most experienced builders on the market today. Operating for over 30 years, they have won over 300 awards for building excellence. Recently named the Top Home Builder in Canada with the 2010 Grand SAM Award from the Canadian Home Builders’ Association, you can trust that your new home is built with quality and care. With showhome interiors designed by Sarah Brown & Company, there are many exciting features to see at Winchester. Ranging from 1,200 to 2,200 square

feet, each home follows an open Àoor concept to maximize space for easy living. Every aspect has been accounted for to ensure your new townhome is movein ready. All come with a standard kitchen appliance package including a range, refrigerator and dishwasher in the colour black with the option of upgrading to a premium stainless steel package. Laminate kitchen countertops have been incorporated, which can be upgraded to very resilient DIAMAstone®, a product far more hard-wearing and consistent than traditional natural stone. Durable laminate Àooring that can stand the wear and tear of kids and pets is laid throughout, and there are also upgrade options to include a stackable washer and dryer. With ParkLane, you can trust that all of your needs will be taken care of. Take advantage of their excellent customer service standards, which provides endless peace of mind. “You are buying from a builder with a long history and a great reputation,” said Kasahara. “This is the key difference between ParkLane and most other builders in the industry. Proof can be seen at similar projects
such as Time at Walnut Grove, which we recently completed at 204th street and 96th Avenue in Langley. It’s the details that really make the difference. Everything from the design of gates and fences, to the choice of drought resistant plants and mature landscaping ensure the properties are looking and performing their absolute best for move-in day. With the ¿rst homes at Winchester available in June, you have less wait time between making your purchase and moving into your new life. Join ParkLane at the of¿cial grand opening of Winchester on Saturday, April 30.

Times Reporter
Businesswomen, mothers and the Enterprising Moms Network are coming together in Langley to support women in business to create a new network in the community. The latest chapter of the Enterprising Moms Network will hold its launch party at the Barnes Harley Davidson Building in Langley from 7- 9 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3. The Enterprising Moms Network (EMN) is all about giving moms the tools, expertise and resources that they need to get started or keep going in the business world while reminding them that it is possible to be a good mom too. Kasia Rachfall, chapter director for the Langley chapter of the EMN is launching this chapter to help Langley mom entrepreneurs support each other with monthly chapter meetings. Rachfall is the owner of Fresh Perspective Family coaching and author of Keys for Moms: Enough is Enough.
Each month there will be a guest speaker who will touch on such topics as marketing and business management to raising children and family life. “It’s open to all women in Langley, you don’t have to be a mom,” Rachfall said. The EMN is a group of supportive women who are all active within the business community and during each meeting women are given the chance to meet with each other in a forum to brainstorm ideas, whether they are about business or family life. “It’s more than just a networking group, it’s like a sisterhood where you can come and get support for anything,” said Rachfall. In 2007, Kelley Scarsbrook started the EMN in White Rock. Now, four years later, there are 14 chapters in B.C., Ontario and Alberta. Keynote speaker for the meeting will be local businesswoman and founder of Triple Win Thinkers, Harmony Thiessen. After the speaker, there will be a small celebration, including a draw for door prizes with coffee, tea and a few treats. Attendance is free, so take an opportunity to meet some businesswomen in the community. For more information check their website at www.enterprisingmomsnetwork.com.

Q 25% of Canadians have no idea where the water that flows out of their taps comes from. Q Canadians use an average of 329 litres of water per day - twice the amount used by Europeans. However, the average Canadian thinks they use only 79 litres per day. Q Canadians admit to knowingly engaging in water wasting activities such as leaving the tap running while washing dishes (44%) and hosing down their driveways (19%). Q Canadians are more concerned with saving electricity than water: 29% of Canadians don’t know what they pay for their water, but only 10% don’t know what they pay for their electricity bill.

Many communities throughout B.C. are holding events to celebrate Drinking Water Week, including hosting tours of their local reservoirs and treatment plants, and we encourage you to take the time to visit them.

We need to value our drinking water When you turn on your tap and clean, safe water comes out,do you ever stop to think: how does it get there? Who brings it you? Where does it end up when you’re finished with it? BC Water & Waste Association and the Province of British Columbia have officially proclaimed Drinking Water Week May 1st to 7th, 2011. We invite you to celebrate this exciting week by “getting to know your H2O” – including where it comes from, where it goes, and how you can protect and conserve it. Here in B.C., where we have an abundance of natural resources, we often take our tap water for granted. However, there is no such thing as ‘new water’ – the water that we use continually cycles through the environment, and is reused again and again. British Columbians personally use an average of 490 litres of water per day compared to the Canadian average of 329 litres per day. That is about double what Europeans use! Although it may not be apparent to all of us, the costs and energy required to deliver water to our taps, treat it to be safe and clean, and safeguard the environment by managing wastewater, add up to billions of dollars every year in Canada. Daisy Foster, CEO of the 4,400-member BC Water & Waste Association notes, “Increases in our population, the growth of

While the rate of year-over-year price appreciation slowed slightly in the first quarter, home values continued an upward climb. Low interest rates and a recovering economy continued to fuel activity in Canada’s housing market over the past year, leading to a country-wide increase in average prices.

Theatre club hosts information meeting For the Murrayville Performers, the play’s the thing — and anyone with an interest in theatre is invited to join them in their endeavours. The Langley-based community theatre company will host a general meeting on Monday, May 2, at 7 p.m., and it is the perfect opportunity for anyone who is curious about the world of live theatre to come out and see what it’s all about. Formed two years ago, the MVPs have so far mounted three productions — A Simple Diagnosis in 2009, and Financial Deficit Disorder and Over the River and Through the Woods in 2010. Their next show will be Dirty Work at the Crossroads, directed by Lorne Seifred. The MVPs extend a welcome anyone interested in being a part of something different and, most often, lots of fun. There are folks who are looking for something out of their normal activities and the MVPs are there to provide that outlet for them. And it doesn’t all happen on stage — that is only the end result of a production. There is quite a life backstage — actors often help backstage, just to be part of the fun. Come on out and see if theatre is something you would like to try. The meeting will be held at the office of Langley Association for Community Living 22071 48 Ave. (this is a strip mall by the Murrayville Library) at the corner of 221 Street and 48 Avenue, entrance off 221 Street, next to the sushi restaurant. Meet and greet at 7 p.m. with the AGM to follow. For details or more information, call Barb 604-218-0197. Not sure about joining a theatre group? Well, ask yourself: Do you have a few spare evenings? Would you like to get
away from the TV and have some fun? Ever wonder what it would be like to be involved in live theatre?
Can you donate some of your talent for one night or a full run? Did you think live theatre means you have
to be an actor? Come and find out the answers to these and more as the Murrayville Performers
plan their next year and productions. Plan to join them and see if community theatre is something you would
like to do with some of your spare time. The MVPs are still looking for a lighting operator for their
upcoming show. Anyone who is interested is asked to call Kate Major at 604514-0942.

Cam Abney admits he has been to the mall a few times in the past couple of days, but has yet to treat himself to something special. The occasion is Abney’s signing of his first professional contract with the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers. The 6-foot-five, 205-pound power forward inked a threeyear entry level contract with the NHL club last week. Not bad for a 19-year-old — he turns 20 in May — who went undrafted in the Western Hockey League’s bantam draft. “It feels pretty good,” he admitted, a big smile crossing his face. “It feels awesome to sign a contract and have that weight Andy Devlin/Edmonton Oil Kings lifted off my shoulders.

It’s official, the Langley Rivermen will hit the ice next season. The B.C. Hockey League announced the sale of the junior A hockey Chiefs on Wednesday. The new owners are John and Roy Henderson, and they take over from the Chiefs ownership group, which included Moray Keith, Heinz Hasselmen, Harvey Smyl and Jim Bond. John Henderson, 65, is a chartered accountant, while Roy, 61, has a background in hockey scouting and is president of Global Sports Scouting Services Inc. Roy Henderson used to scout for the Philadelphia Flyers. “We have a hockey background and the reason we got involved is it’s another challenge in our lives,” he said. “We really believe in the mission of the BCHL to send players on to the college level.” As part of the sale agreement, the former ownership group retains the right to the Chiefs name. Speculation is that the BCHL will return to Chilliwack, as the town lost its Western Hockey League team to Victoria. The Chiefs played in Chilliwack from 1990 to 2006 before moving to Langley. Roy Henderson said they chose the name Rivermen because of the importance of the Fraser River to Langley. “It fits the demographic of Langley,” he said. “Without the Fraser River, there probably wouldn’t be Fort Langley and Langley. “We wanted something that Langley could call its own and it is part of the heritage.” The new ownership group is looking at a couple of logos. They officially take control of the franchise on June 1. In the meantime, the brothers are meeting with as many people associated with the team as possible, such as the billets, volunteers and sponsors.

Scottish sprinter joins Trinity Western One of Scotland’s best sprinters is joining the Trinity Western Spartans track and field team. Calum Innes, a 20-year-old from Glasgow, has committed to joining the Spartans next season. The signing is great news for the second-year program. “In our early days, we have already secured the kind of cornerstone athlete that every university needs,” said coach Laurier Primeau. “Not only does Calum have tremendous versatility on the field of play, but he also has the potential to add to the leadership of this team.” Innes specializes in sprinting and hurdles, but he could also represent Trinity Western in the long jump and relays. He has already represented Scotland on the international stage. UUUUU A hat trick and five points from Reegan Comeault was not enough as the Langley Jr. Thunder lost their season opener.

PASSING DOWN THE FAMILY COTTAGE Owning a lakeside cabin, mountain ski chalet or other recreational property is a dream that many Canadian families have been fortunate enough to realize over the past few decades. These properties are often indelibly linked to a family’s most cherished memories of time spent together. What is often overlooked – especially with waterfront properties or high-profile destinations (Whistler comes to mind) – is the substantial tax bill that must eventually be paid on any increase in value since the recreational property was acquired. Without advance planning, this can come as a nasty and expensive surprise to the next generation. It may even force an unwanted sale of the property if other funds are not available to cover the associated capital gains tax. There are several ways to address this tax burden. They include: • designating the recreational property as a principal residence for tax purposes, if it has increased in value more than the city house during the relevant time period; • taking advantage of the tax free rollover on death to a surviving spouse; • transferring the property to the next generation early, before it has gained too much in value, while reserving a life-time right of use for the parents; • taking out insurance on the lives of the parents, the premiums of which can be borne by the adult children, and then using the tax-free proceeds of such policies to pay the capital gains tax; and • transferring the property to a family trust in some cases. Aside from the tax burden, there are other problems to be considered. How will the next generation and their respective families share the benefits and burdens of the recreational property? Typical issues include:
• allocating use times fairly; • sharing of property costs, particularly where there is unequal use; • decision-making, both in respect of dayto-day matters and also major items like renovations, financing or selling; • mechanisms for resolving disputes; and • an exit strategy (e.g. the right to force a sale of the property, combined with a right of first refusal which allows each party the opportunity to match any third party offers, and an auction process to address multiple bids for the property). These sorts of issues are best addressed in a “co-ownership agreement” between the next-generation owners, ideally executed before the property is transferred to them. One way to force such an agreement is for the parents to provide in their wills that if a co-ownership agreement is not entered into within a certain time after their death, the property is to be sold and the proceeds split amongst the children. The parents can also use their will to address other disparities, such as making special provision for any children who are unlikely to make use of the recreational property. Careful estate planning, supported by experienced legal and tax advice, is critical to avoid the pitfalls associated with passing recreational properties down to the next generation. Taking these steps will ensure that these properties remain a source of golden family memories, and not a flashpoint for ugly family disputes.

Brad Journeyman Tech
Balancing Act The snow and ice of winter have left roads in bad shape, repeated freezing and thawing of moisture seeps through road surfaces and causes potholes. The impact of potholes on tires increases dramatically with speed and can cause hidden, internal damage that could lead to tire failure weeks, or even months, later. It is best to avoid potholes entirely, but if that's not possible, don't brake during potholes impact. Apply brakes before hitting a pothole and release them just prior to impact. Braking during the impact sets up the tire and wheel assembly for a "solid hit' against the edge of the hole. If you hit a severe pothole, have us check your vehicle's alignment and tire balance.
