No school for Routley, parents told Province won’t allow it, says superintendent DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

Parents fighting to keep a school site in Langley Township’s Routley neighbour-

hood have been told the provincial education ministry will not approve construction of a new school in that area. The message was delivered by school superintendent Cheryle Beaumont during a brief Tuesday night meeting of parents with the Langley Board of Education and Township of Langley council at the district offices. “Under no circumstances would the min-

istry approve a school in that area,” Beaumont said. According to provincial education ministry standards, Beaumont said Routley would not qualify for a school of its own because it has a smaller number of school-age children than other neighborhoods and is considered close enough to existing schools. “This is well within the guidelines for a reasonable distance,” Beaumont said.

The parents oppose a proposed land swap that would see the Routley site traded for land in Yorkson. Under the terms of the deal, the school district would get another school site in Yorkson and the Routley site will become a townhouse project with a public park attached. continued, PAGE 3

School swept up in Cup frenzy GARY AHUJA Times Reporter

It begins with legendary broadcaster Jim Robson’s voice over the PA system, as he does the play-by-play of Greg Adams’ double overtime goal, which sent the Vancouver Canucks to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1994. On cue, students — Kindergarten all the way to the Grade 7s — at Dorothy Peacock Elementary filter out of their classrooms and into the foyer of the Walnut Grove school. The students are decked out either in Canucks’ gear, or in the team’s blue and green colours. Many carry signs or posters which pay homage to their hockey heroes, or wave flags. Normally, the hundreds of students would assemble outside for a group picture, which each student then gets a copy of. But on this particular Wednesday, with Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals just hours away, a sudden downpour has hit, forcing the students to assemble in the school’s gym. And while the weather may have taken a turn for the worse, it does little to dampen the spirits of the hundreds of students, who raucously chant, ‘Go Canucks Go.’ “This is not unique (for) Dorothy Peacock Elementary,” says teacher Terry Linden, who has organized these game day rallies since he first arrived at the school 13 years ago. “The popularity of what we do here is wonderful. “It is a way of getting the kids whipped up for the games.” Linden has seen a huge surge in excitement for the team from when he first started the rallies. “I remember the first ones, I would get a dozen kids. But now, we have had, I would say easily, a couple hundred.”

Fired up in cancer fight Firehall hosts fundraising BBQ Saturday

Gary AHUJA/Langley Times

David Camparmo, 12, a Grade 7 student at Dorothy Peacock Elementary student, created his own Stanley Cup three years ago. The Walnut Grove elementary school has been holding Canuck game day playoff rallies for the past 13 years. “It is different from year to year, but of course, this year is special because it is the first time we are celebrating the Stanley Cup Finals so we are really looking forward to it.” The Canucks are making their first appearance

in the finals since 1994 and only the third in their 40-year history. The team failed in its first two attempts to win the Cup, but lead the series 1-0 following a victory in game one.

A team of Langley Township firefighters has already raised more than $13,000 for the Ride to Conquer Cancer, and on Saturday they will hope to increase that at a barbecue. Andy Schildhorn, Dave Backie, Sean Lakeman, Brent Charters and Chris Lane are helping to celebrate their achievement by inviting the public to the Firehall 2 in Fort Langley on Saturday, June 4, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Schildhorn said the event is a kickoff for the riders who have all worked hard to raise the money for the B.C. Cancer Foundation. There will also be face painting and a hose-spraying contest.

District guilty of ‘bait and switch’ – parents from PAGE 1

At the one-hour meeting parents were told growth has shifted and Yorkson will need more classroom space, even though it already has a new school under construction. Township Mayor Rick Green said even if council does what some parents have suggested and refuses to approve the re-zoning required for the swap, the site will remain in the hands of the school board. “They could potentially sell that site,” Green said.

It is also not clear whether council could legally withhold approval at this point in the process. At the meeting, district staff continued to insist parents were advised about the change of plans years ago while the parents maintained that they were never told. It appears the district did tell some parents about the decision, but they were members of a Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) for residents who already had children in school. Most of the Routley parents say they did not get the news because they did not belong to a PAC at

the time. Their children were not yet school-age. They say they bought homes in Routley because they expected the school would be ready by the time their children were were old enough to attend. Parents spokesperson Pete Pretorius said it amounts to a “bait and switch,” because official Township and school district plans called for construction of a school once the neighborhood was fully developed. Pretorius said changing the plan to convert the site into a town-

house project was an “atrocity” and he promised the parents will continue to lobby the Township and local MLAs to at least keep the land available for school construction in the future rather than remove that possibility forever. “If you build town homes now, it’s done, it’s over”, Pretorius said. School board chair Wendy Johnson opened the meeting by advising the audience it was an information session only. “There will be no resolutions that come out of this meeting, “ Johnson said. After presentations by district

staff and the parents, there were about 15 minutes left for questions. On Tuesday, June 7, some Routley parents plan to stage an early morning walk with their children to the nearest school, which is located just over three kilometres and two busy road crossings away. It will start at 7 a.m. at 198 St. and 72 Avenue. The parents have issued an invitation to “walk in our children’s shoes” to provincial premier Christy Clark, education minister George Abbott, the board of education and Township council.

Are you a Woman over 35? Need more energy? Want to look and feel better? Brad King, M.S., MFS

If you’re a woman over 35, you are probably already starting trogen-dominance, a condition in which healthy estrogens are pushed out of the way by unhealthy estrogens. As we age, we notice a decline in the overall hormonal messages that used to give us abundant health and energy, and we fall victim to ever-increasing hormonal imbalances. The end result is diminished youth, energy, vitality, muscular size and strength, and an ever-increasing waistline. This is why although we may weigh the same as in our teenage years, things certainly don’t look or feel the same. As we lose our lean metabolically active tissues (muscle), our metabolism declines and we accumulate more and more body fat. IF YOU: t Are concerned about harmful estrogens t Have excess abdominal fat t Have a hard time losing weight t Experience low energy t t Experience PMS and/or heavy periods t t Are taking birth control pills t Are concerned about breast health t

Brookswood/Fernridge, one of Langley’s most established communities, has been approved as the next area to urbanize. The decision to develop and redevelop sections of the neighbourhoods, which lie in southwest Langley, was made by Township council on Monday. It means that staff have the authority to start the process of updating the Brookswood-Fernridge Community Plan and creating a Neighbourhood Plan. This will require hiring staff and consultants paid for by the developers directly involved. Councillor Mel Kositsky was not happy. “This is something I’ve never seen before,” said Kositsky, the longest-serving member of council, who has served uninterrupted since 1993. “My position is the Township has to be committed to the project and should be hiring its own staff to see the project to conclusion,” he said later. “We are used to dealing with developers’ consultants and then having our staff review the proposal. Once you get going on this, it must go to complete review of the Brookswood-Fernridge community plan,” he said.

The Township cannot rely on funding from unknown developers, he said. “There are questions to ask — where is the money coming from and how much? What is the total projected budget and how will it be paid?” Kositsky said that he expect answers to those questions to be contained in a report to council before any agreement goes ahead. Despite his misgivings, Kositsky says that the practice is an “unusual but creative” approach that does not require extra budgeting to hire more staff. The planning department already has a full work plan, he said. The practice in the form suggested for Brookswood/Fernridge is not entirely new, said administrator Mark Bakken. Variations of developer-funded neighbourhood plans have been used for about a decade, and in the case of the Jericho and South East Gordon neighbourhoods of Willoughby, developers have fronted up to 75 per cent of the cost. Surrey, Bakken noted, has adopted this practice. “It’s a common tactic in growth communities. But while the developers pay, we control,” Bakken said. “We are simply trying to increase the cost to developers and reduce it for taxpayers.” He told council: “This is more significant in that we are taking more from developers than we have in the past.” continued, PAGE 15

Fairness in Ottawa

Feds avoid HST wrath

ne of the most annoying inequities in federal politics, other than the Senate, may soon be corrected. The Conservative government, freshly-elected with a majority of seats, plans to bring in legislation to give B.C., Alberta and Ontario the actual number of Commons seats those fast-growing provinces deserve. It’s long overdue. While many people think that the House of Commons is a “rep by pop” institution, that is not the case. There are certain constitutional guarantees that keep some parts of Canada vastly over-represented. While each province or territory should have at least one seat, Prince Edward Island, for example, has four MPs for its 136,000 residents. Residents there have almost four times as many MPs as Langley, which has a population of about 125,000. In other words, votes of PEI residents are four times more powerful than those of Langley residents. Unfortunately, because of these guarantees, including one that says Quebec must have 75 seats, the only way to properly represent Canada’s growing population in the House of Commons is by adding seats. At present, there are 308 MPs. It could be argued that is perhaps 50 too many. However, it is better to have too many MPs than to have some fast-growing areas of the country, like B.C.’s Lower Mainland, severely underrepresented in Ottawa. Under-representation of B.C. and Alberta is perhaps the most glaring problem (the proposal would see B.C. get seven more seats and Alberta five), because both provinces rarely get the attention in Ottawa that Ontario does. Ontario, because of its large and fast-growing population, and its geographic location close to Ottawa, never has any trouble getting attention. The same cannot be said for Western Canada, even though a large proportion of economic and population growth in Canada now comes from the four western provinces. Fairness is fundamental to a healthy democracy. If this proposal comes to pass, Canada’s population will be more fairly represented in Parliament.

ince the summer of 2009, when the BC Liberals surprised everyone by bringing in the harmonized sales tax and forcing the public to pay more for many goods and services, the one entity actually responsible for the price increases has largely escaped the wrath of the electorate. That would be the federal Conservative government, then and now under Prime Minister Stephen Harper and then and now having Cathy McLeod as MP for Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo. McLeod voted in favour of the HST in the final vote in Parliament on Dec. 9, 2009. The measure passed, Ottawa agreed to give Ontario $4.3 billion and B.C. $1.6 billion and, in B.C., 20 per cent of goods and services increased in price for no discernible reason. That 20 per cent is the only reason anger in B.C. was and remains so potent. The BC Liberals have recited the line over and over and over again as they try to sell a policy lemon: That 80 per cent of the things we purchase are unchanged from the previous system of PST and GST, which totaled 12 per cent. That’s simply an admission the HST has hiked the price of 20 per cent of the things we purchase, despite being assured by the Gordon Campbell Liberals that the HST was a revenue-neutral tax. Why has the HST raised the price of so many goods and services? Because the Conservative government in Ottawa set the rules, and the rules dictate that the BC Liberals could implement exemptions for only five per cent of goods and services. The federal government has avoided much of that anger over the HST, despite being the body that has, in fact, decided to increase the cost of 20 per cent of goods and services in B.C. —Kamloops This Week The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Many HST questions unanswered Editor: So far, I get the impression they don’t want us to understand too much about the HST. Allowing the federal government to collect our B.C. sales tax with their GST is troublesome. Why are the feds so willing and anxious to bribe us with $1.6 billion of our federal tax dollars so they can collect our provincial sales taxes? Is it because it gives them more control over the provinces? What’s in it for the feds? Do you think Quebec would ever allow or trust the feds to take possession of their provincial sales taxes? Not a chance. How is this good for the Western provinces? Is it a sellout of our provincial autonomy and sovereignty, the little that remains? Could this minimize our clout to negotiate with Ottawa when we have already surrendered and signed over our complete income and sales tax collection authority? Have our BC Liberals considered the expression ‘A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,’ or ‘possession is 9/10ths of the law.’ To add insult to injury, now our rookie Premier Christy Clark and her cabinet are wasting another $5 million sell job on us, using our own hard-earned tax dollars on expensive ads, as seen during prime time TV hockey playoffs. Where is the big administrative efficiency and cost savings in it for B.C.? I understand it is good for businesses and easier to remit and collect one tax instead of two, and agree with the efficiency aspect of one tax. Now the Liberals have resorted to playing head games with us in the twisted psychobabble way they are phrasing the referendum question. The people are stupid and we can trick them to vote ‘No,’ which actually is a vote for the HST.

Yes means No and No means Yes. Is there no shame? On May 27, I had a phone call from Campaign Research.ca, a polling company in Ontario, asking how I will vote. Unprepared at the sudden convoluted question, I replied ‘no’ which actually meant ‘yes.’ Even the pollster’s employee was confused. Since the question is inside out and backwards, the results of the poll are worthless, indecipherable and another incompetent waste of our tax dollars. Then they play more Contributed photo manipulation games with Signs promoting a ‘yes’ vote in the HST referendum are availthe corporate and small business income taxes. able at Princess and Pea B and B in Murrayville.

3.2 km walk will illustrate student challenges Editor: On Tuesday, along with a select group of Routley area residents. I participated in a combined Langley School District/Township of Langley meeting, which dealt with the elimination of a promised school in the Routley area of Langley. The residents of Langley are fighting for a school for their children in our area. This school has been part of the Routley Community Plan since 2001. In 2008, the plan to build a school in the Routley area was taken out of the Langley School District capital plan for reasons that are still unknown to us. At no time was a safety audit done on our area, and now the Ministry of Education, Langley School District, and Township are asking our children to cross the the road at two of the top 10 of Langley’s crash sites (according to the RCMP), in order to get to school. Langley School District policy 3850 The

requires students in the elementary school system to walk 3.2 km before they are eligible for busing. I hope that the people we trust the welfare of our children to actually know children, but to me, making an early elementary student walk 3.19 km to school to start their day and 3.19 km home at the end of the day is ridiculous. It is even more so, because crossing the road at No. 4 and No. 5 of the most dangerous crash sites in Langley is part of that walk. For those “fortunate” enough to live beyond the 3.2 km boundary, they wlll qualify for busing that costs the area residents an additional (up to) $525 per year, on top of already very high property taxes. The Routley area needs a school and we want a school. Nothing less will do. I now invite and challenge Premier Christy Clark, Education Minister George Abbott and his ministry staff, the Langley board of education

trustees, the Township mayor and councillors, and all Routley-area residents to join me to walk in our children’s shoes to our local area school. We will be starting this walk at 198 Street and 72 Avenue at 7 a.m. on Tuesday, June 7. People taking part will have to be on time, as we are allowing just enough time to get our children to school on time. They should bring a packed lunch and wear comfortable shoes. On Tuesday evening, we sat through a presentation by the board of education that discussed “assets” and the fiscal impacts of school development. At no time was there any thought or reference to the safety of our children. This is fundamentally wrong for a governing body which is elected and engaged in the welfare of our children to not even consider this. Rena, Rod, Fergus (age 7) and Ronan (age 4) Terry, Langley

RCMP THANKED Editor: I would like to support and thank Supt. Derek Cooke for his letter (The Times, June 1) in regards to the parking ticket complaint in Fort Langley at this year’s May Day. I was the parade marshall for this event, and have been for many years. May Day doesn’t just happen, it evolves from the efforts of a community group that puts in many hours well ahead of this special event in Fort Langley. One of our biggest concerns is safety. We spent time posting “no parking” signs along the parade route. Despite this, a few people chose to ignore them. The visiting motorcycle team from Vancouver are a popular lead-off to our parade. They were unable to demonstrate their expertise along some parts of the route, due to a few parked cars. Maybe they should have also been towed, and the owner would have a lot more expense than a parking ticket. Fort Langley is a great community, as Supt. Cooke puts it. Next year will be the 90th year of this event. We will continue our efforts to keep it safe and sincerely thank Supt.Cooke and his members for their support of this event. Fred Jackson, parade marshall Fort Langley May Day

AMAZING PLAY Editor: I attended an amazing and insightful play “Invisible Out Loud,” written and directed by Grade 12 student Desiree Wallace, and involving Grade 11 and 12 Langley Secondary students as actors. Thank you to these young people for this play, which shows the way homeless people are treated by society. Well done. J. Goin, Langley

A personal travel plan quickly became a global adventure to raise awareness about world hunger and an opportunity to work with Sorbi and the THG. Along the way they will stop to volunteer at orphanages and offer aid where they can. “There are so many places that are affected by this (hunger) too, so it’s not that we’re just going to one place and then putting all of our energy into that, there are a lot of places that need this.” said Erin. The couple have leased their house, given their dogs good,safe homes and have attracted the interest of a few community sponsors, who have helped them get their bikes ready.

Sorbi is working with the pair to plan their route and determine their stops along the way. The trip will ultimately depend on money. “Right now we have the money to do North, Central and South America for sure, but I mean its definitely going to go and see the world (sic),” Coburn said. They estimate that the first leg of the trip will take about 15 months and cost about $27,250, with a daily budget of $25 per person, including food, fuel and everything. On the average day, the Blacks will travel as much as they can and as far as they would like. Their schedule is wide open and free, which is one of the things they look forward to most on the trip.

They will have everything with them — spare parts for their bikes, food, and clothes, split between the two of them.

Participants in Langley’s Relay For Life line up at the starting line last Friday night, May 27. The event raised more than $277,000 for cancer research and resources.

Relay For Life raises $277,000 Langley’s seventh Relay for Life was a celebration of life, a way to honour those who have died from cancer, and a convincing community effort to raise thousands of dollars to fight the disease. The relay, which took place over 12 hours at McLeod Athletic Park from Friday evening to Saturday morning (May 27 and 28), raised more than $277,000 for cancer research and resources. It was the 92 cancer survivors

who received a rousing cheer as they launched the relay in the Survivors Victory Lap. It was led by Diana Biglaw, a nine-year cancer survivor who remarked that the participants “don’t relay for cancer — we relay for life.” More than 80 teams and around 700 individuals took park. Among the highlights were The Cancer Sucks All Star Band, a group of local, professional musicians who volunteered their time and talent to fight back

against cancer and keep the crowd entertained as they made their way around the track. Another highlight came from Caitlin Berndt, a long time CCS volunteer, team captain, and caregiver who shared ‘Sarah’s story’ and the lighting of hundreds of luminaries around the track. The words HOPE and CURE were illuminated in the grandstand. continued, PAGE 13

Staying awake to conquer cancer from PAGE 12

Relay co-ordinator Shannon Todd Booth said that they were “a testament of why the hundreds of participants fundraise tirelessly leading up to the event and spend a night awake walking the track, symbolic of the fight against cancer, a disease that never sleeps. For one night, neither do we.” This is an abbreviated version of ‘Sarah’s Story.’ “I’ve been involved with the Canadian Cancer Society for over five years,” Berndt said. “We stand here tonight at this special time of the Relay for Life — the luminary ceremony. Before I came on stage I closed my eyes, held my breath and remembered why I was here . . . because Sarah is not. On Dec. 9, 2006, Sarah Conway Smith, my goddaughter, was diagnosed at the age of four with a rare malignant brain tumor, choroid plexus carcinoma. “This amazing little girl fought this journey with a smile on her face and music in every step, and died with dignity and her family by her side. “Sarah was rushed

from London Children’s Hospital to Sick Kids in Toronto. This beautiful girl had a tumour the size of an orange in her head and would be operated on immediately. She was given little odds for survival but she was a fighter. She was not a child with cancer. “I was home in London, Ontario, where Sarah lives, in late January of this year. Sarah and I slept side by side

on my final night there. “Sleep was always tough for her because she had so much to do in her life . . . dancing and singing and time with all of her friends. But there in the darkness of the night we lay face to face. I cherished every minute and felt the silent tears of joy for just being with her in that moment. “On March 1, Sarah took her last breath. “When I tried to

answer the question “Why did things have to be this way for Sarah?” the answer is: I believe that when God brings a child like Sarah into the world, the perfection that he seeks is in the way people react to her. “Each luminary that is lit tonight represents those we honour and those we’ve lost. I walk with all of you tonight at the Relay for Life.”

The move was wholeheartedly embraced by Councillor Jordan Bateman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every plan gets better and better,â&#x20AC;? Bateman said, adding that he hopes the neighbourhood plan for Brookswood/Fernridge â&#x20AC;&#x153;captures everything we love about Brookswood . . . letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work hard to do it right.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to think the bigger picture at the outset,â&#x20AC;?

He said that â&#x20AC;&#x153;although we are dealing with the plan in isolation we have to make sure we have connectivity.â&#x20AC;? Ramin Seifi, head of the planning and development, told council that it will take six months to hire consultants and planning staff, and two years after that to complete the community plan update.

Premier delivers a ‘bold fix’ of the HST E ven if all you care about is your own wallet, the harmonized sales tax just became an offer you shouldn’t refuse. Premier Christy Clark promised a “bold” fix for the HST, and she delivered. For months I have been arguing that the only way to overcome the wave of rejection caused by the panicked introduction of the HST is to offer a rate cut. I expected one per cent. Now if you vote to keep it, a second oneper-cent reduction will be largely financed by reversing some of the B.C. Liberals’ business tax cuts of recent years. It not only sweetens the deal for consumers, it’s great politics. First, let’s look at it from a selfish, shortterm perspective, the way some readers loudly remind me they view the world. If you vote next month to go back to the provincial sales tax, the 12 per cent PST-GST on goods that you probably didn’t notice before will continue.

Mayor and council collect from Metro NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Elected officials are paid $322 for every Metro Vancouver meeting that lasts up to four hours. If they are longer than that, the payment is automatically doubled to $644. Membership on several committees can quickly plump up an elected official’s bank balance, and for Rick

Green, that meant that in 2010 he earned $14,669 for Metro Vancouver business, on top of the $93,724 he earned as mayor of Langley Township. In 2009, Green earned $13,088 for sitting on Metro committees. Last September, after Green admitted he misled council, a majority of councillors punished him by stripping him of his regional directorship.

He still remains the Township’s representative on six committees. The current director is Councillor Charlie Fox, who earned $1,952 for attending Metro Van business on behalf of the Township. Councillor Mel Kositsky was the busiest, earning $5,321 for Metro meetings. Councillor Bob Long earned $3,914. Attending only one meeting

21st Century tax structure needed from PAGE 17

There are changes happening now in the B.C. economy that 1960s socialism and 1980s populism are not equipped to handle. The living standard of our children is going to be determined by how we deal with our aging, globalizing population, and this is one reason to understand a shift to consumption taxes.

Fourteen months ago, I wrote that more U.S. states are joining Washington, Hawaii and others with sales taxes on services as well as goods. Robert Kleine, treasurer for Michigan, explained it this way:“The basic thing is that we need to update our tax structure. We’ve got a 20th Century tax structure based on a different sort of economy.The tax base doesn’t grow as the economy grows.”

in 2010, Councillors Kim Richter, Bev Dornan, Steve Ferguson and Grant Ward each made $322. The eight councillors make between $36,130 and $38,275 a year, with the larger total earned when they take their turn as acting mayor. Although one-third of their salaries is regarded as a tax-free expense account, they also collect thousands of dollars each year for expenses. They are due to receive raises in December.

What if your mortgage helped fund what’s around the corner?

Natasha JONES/Langley Times

With their colourful costumes, the Taiwanese Dance Troupe, affiliated with Langley Community Services Society, performed at H.D. Stafford Middle School’s Multicultural Days on May 19 and 20.

Cable thieves caught in the act Two men from Surrey were arrested after some Langley residents spotted a wire theft in progress early Wednesday morning (June 1). The first call came when someone phoned police after spotting some apparently cut wire near 200 Street and 32 Avenue. While police were en route, another person called called to report seeing an older model pickup truck dragging cable down the road. Officers found the truck with two men inside and about 50 feet of cable lying next to the truck with rope attached to the end. More cable was coiled in the box of

the truck. The men, aged 37 and 47, are both from Surrey. They face charges of theft over $5000 and mischief over $5000. The younger man faces additional counts of breaching his curfew and possession of wire cutting tools. Langley RCMP issued a statement thanking the two witnesses for calling police. “We very much appreciate the role these people played in the apprehension of these individuals and it is only through the assistance of the community that we will have an impact on this type of crime” said Cpl. Holly Marks.

GVHBA holds Parade of Renovated Homes on June 12

Home renos come out in the open Homeowners in need of renovation inspiration, your wait is over. The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) is hosting its annual Parade of Renovated Homes on June 12, which will see homes across Metro Vancouver thrown wide open to show off their professional renovations. Homes in Burnaby, Coquitlam, New Westminster, Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver and Surrey will be open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., and admission is $10. That price includes admittance to each home in the parade. GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson says the projects will show off leading-edge design, advanced construction techniques, energy-efficient features, and innovative building products from top-

quality renovators. “For the homeowner to agree to have their home open for the day is a testament to how pleased they are with the jobs,” he says. With homeowners in the Metro Vancouver area set to spend $4.4 billion on renovations in 2011, Simpson says the Parade will offer them a chance to see potential results and learn about what B.C. renovators have to offer. “Professional renovators, many of them award winners, will be on site to offer expert advice and discuss their craftsmanship,” he says. “There is a wide range in project values, offering homeowners an abundance of ideas they can possibly incorporate into their own renovations.” Check out www.gvhba.org to see the full list of participating homes.

Red Maple Park emphasizes community spirit by Colin Oswin

Are you looking to move out of a subdivision and into a community? Red Maple Park may be just what you’re looking for. Red Maple, from developer Polygon, features 122 townhome units built around an 8,400-square-foot resortstyle clubhouse full of amenities. The townhomes range from 1,198 to 1,566 square feet, with two or three bedrooms. Every home includes a deck or patio, and a private fenced yard. The exteriors feature Arts & Crafts-style architecture, which takes traditional, European elements and adds modern touches to provide a sleek, yet homey feel. “I think it just provides a nice, welcoming streetscape,” says Goldie Alam, vice-president of marketing for Polygon. “People are attracted to it because it feels so welcoming.” Inside, the homes are built around an open-plan layout, with nine-foot ceilings on the main floor.

“If you’re in the kitchen you can still see people in the living room,” Alam says. “It provides a great, open feel.” Kitchens feature granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances and fullheight ceramic tile backsplashes. Living areas feature large bay windows that fill the home with natural light, and decorative window shelves add a touch of character. Ensuite bathrooms have big walk-in showers, his-and-hers porcelain sinks and dual-flush toilets, along with a full-length vanity mirror perfect for getting ready before that big night out.

Alam says the clubhouse – The Maples Club – will act as an anchor and a central meeting place for the people who move into the development. “It’s at the heart of the community, and all of the homes are built around it,” she says. Outside, the clubhouse features a terrace with a pool and whirlpool. Inside, residents will find a gym, kitchen and a big meeting room with a fireplace. A screening room offers a massive TV and stadium seating – perfect for birthdays, the Stanley Cup finals featuring our own Vancouver Canucks or Oscar parties. “If you want to have a big group, it’s a good place to do it,” Alam says. Residents with guests staying over can rent one of two clubhouse suites for the night. The suites are outfitted like hotel rooms, and a concierge will be on hand to look after your guests. The lower floor of the clubhouse features an indoor park for the kids, with climbing structures and a childsized soccer field, with goal posts painted on the walls.

Outside, children will be able to play in the Maples Park located right next to the clubhouse, with traditional playground equipment as well as a fun bouncy floor. “On rainy days they can be inside playing, and on sunny days they can be outside,” Alam says. Located on 80 Ave., just east of 208 St., Red Maple Park offers easy access to several nearby restaurants and recreation centres, as well as the Willowbrook Shopping Centre. Several big box stores are located minutes to the south on 200 St. Sales started on March 26 for the initial release – 34 homes in total – and Alam says 32 are already sold. She says these homes represent good value and a great location for young families, and the grand opening proved it: Maples Park was packed with kids playing on the playground equipment. Homes at Red Maple Park start at $299,900. For more information, check out www.polyhomes.com/community/redmaple-park or call 604-888-8699.

‘‘

People are attracted to it because it feels so welcoming,” says Goldie Alam, vice-president of marketing for Polygon.

It’s all in the green can Township promotes recycling of food scraps with its new program For most people, putting plastic, tin, and paper into blue boxes and recycling bags is second nature. Soon, placing food scraps in a special container instead of the garbage will also become instinctive. Through Green Can, residents who receive municipal garbage collection can put all of their food scraps and leftovers, including meat and bones, out for pick up in the same container as their yard trimmings. It is still the same yard trimmings program as before but we changed the name to Green Can to reflect that you can now add food. With approximately 20,000 households benefitting from Green Can service, thousands of pounds of compostable waste will be kept out of the garbage dump, cutting down on greenhouse gas production. Almost 40 per cent of all household garbage is compostable, and food scraps collected from Township residents are used by The Answer Garden Products to produce commercial and residential compost. Food scraps composting is also now the law. On May 16, council passed a bylaw that requires food scraps to be kept out of the garbage, and

the Green Can program is the easiest and most convenient way to comply. To take part in Green Can, residents who receive municipal curbside pick-up service need three things: a container for collecting food scraps right in the kitchen, an 80 litre can for curbside collection, and a decal identifying the can’s contents. Kitchen containers can be purchased at local hardware stores or made from an empty ice cream pail with a lid. Use it to collect food scraps and leftovers, then empty it into the 80 litre container, along with yard trimmings and food-soiled napkins and paper towels, and place it at the curb for the weekly neighbourhood collection date. Residents may want to line the kitchen container with newspaper or a kraft paper bag, both of which can go in the larger container for pick-up. Those who already have a proper 80 litre yard trimmings container can continue using that: simply add the food scraps in with the yard trimmings. Those who need a curbside container should purchase one that has a tight fitting lid, holds 77 or 80 litres, and weighs less than 20 kg (44 pounds) when filled. They should be made of

rigid plastic, have a removable lid and two durable handles for safe emptying, and be strong enough to hold up to collection activity. Kitchen containers used to collect food scraps should not be put out for collection. Collection containers must be identified by the new Green Can decals or the old yard trimmings decals, and placed on the curb before 7:30 a.m .on regular garbage and yard trimming pick-up days. Make sure the decal is facing the street. Green Can decals are available at the Civic Facility at 20338 – 65 Ave., the Operations Centre at 4700 – 224 St., and at all Township community recreation centres. There is no limit to the number of Green Can/yard trimming cans that can be put out for collection. Those households that do not receive municipal collection service are encouraged to use backyard composters. While backyard composters don’t accept the variety of items that Green Cans do, they significantly reduce the amount of waste clogging garbage dumps, improve gardens, and help the environment. For more information and tips, visit tol.ca/greencan.

Virginia Nikkel is one of 26 students from Carolyn Shandalla’s Grade 6/7 class. She participated in the Young Entrepreneur Show by selling homemade soaps. Her business plan was to have fun and pay back the loan she took from her parents. As classes changed and some students remained in the Wix-Brown gymnasium, the young entrepreneurs were encouraged to put on a show

and get in front of the crowd to announce short 30-second sales, marking down their products to encourage buyer volume. Each student was also the

employee of their business and they were learning how to handle a working environment. Each student was required to make a business plan and set out with a goal of how much they wanted to make, keeping in mind that they had to pay back the loan they had taken out to pay for start-up costs. Danielle Hardy, a personal account representative for Envision Financial, came to the school beforehand to talk to the students about borrowing money from the bank and the process of paying back a loan. “It was quite a success,” she said. “There is some good stuff here.” Virginia Nikkel, one of the students, borrowed $48.23 from her parents to make homemade soaps. By heating glycerin soaps in the microwave, adding colours and essential oils and placing them in various cupcake molds she was able to make an array of different shapes and colours. Ten per cent of her profit will go to the Wellspring Foundation for Education. Another student, Analiese Webb, made candles by borrowing $40 from her mother for supplies and heating wax to put wax into various colourful shapes and moulds. As a good business tactic, she negotiated a deal on the wax for her project as a new business. Other products like travel pillows, stuffed animals, and cake pops were sold for a fair price, for the target audience.

Welder off to ‘Olympics’ Tyler Kropinak will be testing himself against the top trades students from across Canada at the 17th annual Skills Canada national competition. Kropinak, who attends Kwantlen Polytechnic University, won the right after beating out seven other welding students in the regional and provincial qualifying rounds. “I’ve been looking forward to this competition ever since I was 14 years old,” Kropinak said. “I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to make it onto the podium and be recognized as one of the best young welders in the country.” The competition runs through this weekend in Quebec City and will feature 500 competitors in a variety of trade categories. Twenty thousand spectators are expected.

“This really is the ‘Olympics’ of trade competitions in Canada,” Kropinak said. “I’m feeling a lot of nervous excitement about the opportunity.” To prepare, he has been practising for two to three hours daily for the past few weeks, in addition to doing his work at Columbia Remtech, a local manufacturer of aluminum petroleum trailers and aluminum asphalt trailers. ❒❒❒❒❒ The Bay is getting a facelift.

New degree of black belts for Pacific Coast Taekwondo students

While the Langley Blaze play on the field this week for their annual baseball tournament, the Blaze family faces a bigger fight off it. The mother of a former player is battling cancer and in an effort to help the family, the Blaze will be donating all proceeds from this weekend’s admission and raffle sales at McLeod Park. Typically, there is no charge to attend the games, but the money collected will be donated to the family to help with the mounting costs the family faces. Tournament admission to the park will be $3 per game, or $10 for a weekend pass. There will also be gift baskets on display, which will be raffled off prior to Sunday’s championship game. The tournament features the Blaze’s usual Premier Baseball League rivals from Abbotsford, North Delta and Victoria, as well as teams from Edmonton and Bellingham. The championship game is Sunday at 12:30 p.m.

Seven members of the Pacific Coast Taekwondo School earned a new degree of black belt. The students were participating in the school’s 18th annual Black Belt test day last Saturday. The candidates were all required to break one inch pine boards or concrete blocks, display self defence and weapons demonstrations, participate in full contact sparring, show their forms/patterns and answer technical questions. Each candidate also submitted essays and book reports. Kirsty Davis earned her fourth Dan black belt and earned the master instructor rank, becoming one of the few woman outside Korea to earn this distinction. Emily Halliday, already an instructor, earned her third Dan black belt, and Julie Rand earned her second poom (junior) black belt and was promoted to instructor. Deena Charles, Ethan Avnick, Justin Schildhorn and Riley McCorrister-Fordyce all earned their first poom (junior) black belts.

BRONZE FOR OSERS

Jonathon Osers has returned from the Canadian national gymnastics championships with a bronze medal. The Langley athlete, who trains at Abbotsford’s Twisters Gymnastics Club, won bronze in the floor exercise in the national open category. Osers placed eighth all-around. In addition to his bronze, he was sixth on the rings and sixth on the parallel bars. The national championships were held in Charlottetown, PEI.

JAMES GOLDEN AGAIN

For the third straight year,Tracy James has helped Team Canada win gold. Competing at the world cheerleading championships at Orlando’s Walt Disney World Resort, James and her teammates were golden in the co-ed elite division. The 25-year-old Langley resident is a former gymnast at Langley Gymnastics Foundation.

FOUR OFF TO BRAZIL

Four members of the Trinity Western Spartans men’s volleyball program have been selected to Canada’s junior national team. Lucas Van Berkel, Brad Kufske, Derek Thiessen and Branden Schmidt earned the honour following a 47-player tryout camp at the men’s national training centre in Quebec. The four will compete at the world junior volleyball championships July 31 to August 10 in Rio de Janiero, Brazil.

Not only did the Langley Olympians collect some medals at their most recent swim meet, but four club members also pocketed some cash for their prowess in the pool. Competing at the Hyack Festival AAAA Youth Cup in New Westminster, the Olympians swim club sent 13 swimmers to take part in the 375-swimmer meet. The meet also offered cash incentives for racers’ aggregate point totals, and Martha Metcalfe, 14, collected a cool $175 for her performance in the freestyle and individual medley events. Metcalfe won both the 400 and 800 freestyle events, while placing second in the 200 and 400 IM races. She also set a new Olympians club record in the 400 free, and was third in the 200 IM and fourth in the 200 fly. Hillary Metcalfe, 13, won $150 for her efforts, which included gold in the 100 and 200 breast events, second in the 200 free, 50 free and 200 IM, and fourth in the 200 back. Michael MacDonald, 15, and 11-year-old Robyn Nakano, each won $50. They were both third in overall points for their respective age groups. MacDonald was fourth in the 400 and 1,500 free events, while Nakano was third in the 200 fly, fifth in the 100 fly and sixth in the 200 back. For more results, visit www.langleytimes.com.

LENDVOY, Frank Stanley Our beloved father, Frank Stanley Lendvoy, passed away on May 27th in his 89th year with his devoted wife, Jeanne, by his side. Dad was predeceased by two brothers and two sisters and his first wife, Elizabeth. He is mourned by his wife of 39 years, Jeanne; sons Harry (Carol), Len (Leslie), Kelly (Linda) and stepson Russell (Deb); grandsons Jeremy, Nic, Garrett, Hank and many nephews and nieces. Frank and Jeanne raised their sons in Vancouver where Frank worked in the maritime industry for 35 years. They found their retirement home on the Nicomekl River in Langley where they walked their dogs and gardened extensively for 25 years. They also enjoyed many trips in their RV from Arizona to Alaska. Their most cherished moments, though, were visiting their favourite spots in BC, especially Kettle Valley and his brother Andy’s ranch in the Chilcotin. Frank was an ideal father and husband: loving, supportive and a gentleman in every sense of the word. His family was the most important part of his life. He provided his sons with unconditional love and encouraged all their athletic and academic pursuits. He fixed 2 generation’s worth of bikes, sports equipment and tools. He groomed and exercised our dogs and horses (and sons) when we were too busy. Frank’s friends, neighbours, and relatives also loved and admired this wonderful man. Wherever he lived, Frank became the ‘go to guy’ when anyone had electrical, plumbing or construction problems. He always found time to help others. Frank touched many lives with his charm and open heartedness. He maintained his quiet dignity and playful sense of humour even in his last 5 years when Alzheimer’s slowly stole him from us. He will be deeply missed. No service by request. Thanks to the helpful, caring staff at Langley Lodge who took such good care of our father & appreciated this kind and gentle man. “ Rest in peace, Dad. “

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father Weir Muir. He is lovingly remembered by his two sons Gavin (Susan) and Cameron (Linda) along with grandchildren David and Jennifer as well as many relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his wife Kathleen (Kathie). Born in Nanaimo, B.C. he began his long career with the Royal Bank of Canada in 1938. In 1941, he enlisted in the RCAF and in 1942 he was posted overseas joining the #410 RCAF Night Fighter Squadron. After the war, he returned to the Royal Bank of Canada working in Nanaimo, Kemano, Youbou, Kerrisdale, New Westminster and Langley branches as the local manager. He retired from banking in 1981. He was active in many community activities in Langley including co-founding the Langley Chapter of SPEBSQSA(Langley’s First Capital Chorus) in 1969 along with singing lead with his own barbershop quartet The Fraser Highway Men. He spent 9 years on the Langley Memorial Hospital Board, 10 years as President of the Langley City Parks Foundation, and 4 years on the Fraser Valley Regional Library Board. He served a 2 1/2 year term as the President of the Langley Chamber of Commerce, not to mention his support of both Kiwanis and Rotary service clubs.
