Legal opinion sought on preventing subdivision over Hopington aquifer NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
Langley Township council imposed a moratorium on subdividing land above the Hopington in 1995, stipulating that it should remain “until a means of resolving any identified health and environmental concerns is determined.” Since it was imposed, two attempts to quash the moratorium have failed, and not only have health and environmental concerns accelerated, the level of water in the
Major outage in Willoughby
underground reservoir continues to fall at an alarming rate. Subdivision does occur above the aquifer when an application meets zoning and subdivision control requirements. At the last council meeting before the summer break, a majority of council backed Councillor Kim Richter’s motion calling for a legal opinion to see whether the moratorium can be converted to a bylaw, thus ending all subdivisions until the environmental concerns raised in 1995, and issues of the quality and quan-
tity of aquifer water, have been resolved. In her motion, Richter noted that zoning over the aquifer has been in place for more than 40 years. Attempts in 1998 and 2005 to rezone at lower densities failed. The highly-used Hopington aquifer is considered the most vulnerable to contamination in the province. Recognizing that, the government made it a groundwater protection area, which means that a groundwater management plan must be approved before development can continue.
One man was taken to hospital with a broken leg after he was hit by a car in Langley. It happened around 12:40 a.m. Tuesday morning (Aug. 30) in the 7600 block of 200 Street. Langley RCMP said two male pedestrians were walking southbound on the east side of 200 Street when one of them crossed the road and was hit by a southbound 2007 Hyundai Accent traveling in the curb lane. The 18-year-old man hit the hood and side mirror of the car and landed in a ditch on the west side of the street. Both the injured man and the 23-yearold male driver of the Hyundai were Surrey residents. Police said no alcohol was involved on the part of the driver and no charges were expected.

The demise of the harmonized sales tax may mean a seven-percent break for motorists who use Metro Vancouver pay parking lots — depending on what the province decides in the months ahead. TransLink tripled its tax on pay parking to 21 per cent in January 2010 and the switch to the HST that summer charged 12 per cent on top. The compounding effect means motorists currently pay an extra 35.5 per cent in tax at paid lots. But the end of the HST may mean only the five per cent GST will apply on top of TransLink’s 21 per cent come the spring of 2013. “There’s no doubt in my mind,” said Charles Gauthier, executive director of the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association. “If we’re going back to the old system, I would imagine the PST

doesn’t exist for pay parking.” He said the government made it clear with the change to the HST that the province was handing its taxing authority over parking to TransLink, meaning there should be no scope for a reintroduction of a provincial tax. If so, the province would lose the seven per cent provincial component of the HST it now receives — worth close to $20 million a year. That’s actually money the province never got to keep prior to the HST, because the PST was previously remitted to TransLink. TransLink officials say they’ve asked the province what’s planned but received no answers yet. A finance ministry spokesman said the issue isn’t decided, adding it’s one of numerous decisions the government faces in the months ahead as it prepares to dismantle the HST. TransLink collected $58.4 million last year from its 21 per cent parking tax.

A small group of medical marijuana consumers staged a protest outside Langley City hall shortly after the dispensary was raided in July.
Pro-pot petition to go door-to-door DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
Organizers of a petition to resurrect the Langley Medical Marijuana Dispensary plan to go doorto-door to collect signatures. The campaign is being coordinated by Surrey resident Dan Mackle, one of the clients of the dispensary that was closed down by a police raid July 19. “I was the very first one,” Mackle told The Times. “Randy Caine [the pro-marijuana activist who founded the dispensary] was my designated grower.” The 57-year-old Mackle said without the dispensary he will have to find other, possibly criminal suppliers for the marijuana he uses to treat a chronic pain condition. “I no longer have safe sources,” Mackle said. The petition hopes to convince the City of Langley to allow the dispensary to operate as a pilot project, on the same basis as the Vancouver safe injection site for heroin addicts. After the first afternoon of soliciting signatures in Langley’s McBurney Square, Mackle says about 50 people signed. He says the petitioners plan to be out every Sunday in the square from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. He said they hope to begin knocking on doors later this month. Updates on the campaign to revive the dispensary are being posted on the medical dispensary website at http://www.medicalmjdispensary.com.

Langley Field Naturalists are tallying everything that grows or moves in a wilderness area
A
s he sorts though the moths caught in his trap, Bob Puls delicately flicks the rejects away, sending them fluttering, alive and unharmed, back into the bushes. The home-made device uses a light to lure the moths into a conical trap they can’t fly out of until Puls removes the top. “This one I’ve got and that one I’ve got,” he says. “That one I don’t need.” One with bright orange on its back is a keeper. Puls gently slides it into a small container for a later close-up photo.
He averages one new species of moth a week. Puls, a long-time member of the Langley Field Naturalists, says that in his teenage years growing up in the United Kingdom, he was the kind of outdoorsman who would wander around with a gun. Now he wanders with camera, binoculars and notepad, maneuvering confidently through the sometimes steep trails with a walking stick that can double as as camera monopod. The retired teacher is one of several volunteers engaged in a quest to list everything that moves or grows in a 150-acre wilderness area in the Fort
Langley area near 240 Street and 80 Avenue. The publicly-owned Crown land is a former sawmill site that was abandoned after the mill and the millworkers’ housing burned to the ground in 1917. “It really hasn’t been disturbed.” Tall second-growth trees tower overhead, and the only faint evidence of former human habitation is the overgrown rise of land that marks a former logging road. When the nearby Mountain View Conservation Society leased the 150 acres under an agreement that calls for preservation of the property, no one really knew what was there.
“How do we know what we’ve got?” is the way Mountain View director of program development Malcolm Weatherstone puts it. “Really, we should see what we have.” That led to an agreement with the volunteers of the Field Naturalists, who have been patiently adding to an evergrowing list of flora and fauna within the 150 acres over the last four years. “It’s been a wonderful partnership,” says Weatherstone. “This work is going to allow us to lay our plans. It’s going to allow us to plan ahead.” continued, PAGE 8
From moths to fungus, Bob Puls and his fellow Langley Field Naturalists have taken on the daunting task of counting everything that lives in a 150-acre parcel of land near Fort Langley. The property was once the site of a sawmill, but has remained relatively untouched for nearly a century.

hortly after the Stanley Cup riot on June 15, a number of Vancouver-based commentators were blaming much of the damage on residents of suburban cities like Surrey and Langley. They were suggesting that, had these people stayed home in their own communities, the riot and associated damage wouldn’t have happened. While such commentary is xenophobic, and the specific residence of each rioter is virtually impossible to verify, their comments have at least the ring of truth. There is no question that many young people from outside Vancouver flocked to the city centre on the night of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals, to take part in a unique group event. In fact, they were encouraged to do so by Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson and others. Similar large crowds had come to downtown Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Olympics, and there were virtually no problems. However, as a report into the riot released on Thursday points out, there were many more safeguards at the Olympics. There were far more police and security personnel. When crowds gathered to watch a hockey game, they did so inside a securely-fenced area. As Olympics CEO John Furlong suggested in the report, it appears that Vancouver officials forgot just how important crowd control is when staging large events. There needs to be visible, adequate and ongoing security. There needs to be perimeter fencing or some other way to contain people and keep attendees separated from the hangers-on. People who come to watch a specific event need to be looked over carefully, and their bags searched — as happens at any Canucks, Lions or Whitecaps game. The report does not try to blame suburban municipalities or their inhabitants for the riots. In fact. Langley Township and Surrey, to cite two examples, set up locations where people could come and watch the games. The Township’s site, at the Events Centre, did use some of the safeguards mentioned in the report. Interestingly enough, there were no problems at either the Langley or Surrey locations. Nor were there problems at Scott Road and 72 Avenue in Surrey, where impromptu gatherings of fans took place after each game. Perhaps Vancouver commentators need to look more within their own borders.

he first day of school just may be the only shred of common sense there is in provincial education these days. British Columbia has a long history of teachers and politicians acting like petulant bullies in the school yard. Both say they’re only doing what’s best for the children. Hogwash. Like all of us, teachers want more money and a lighter workload for the job they perform nine months every year. The politicians want to appear to be appeasing taxpayers by holding the line on salaries and heaping more work on the teachers. The public sector already receive salaries and benefits most private sector workers drool over, screams the BC Liberals. We’re not going to give any increases to anybody in the public sector, they huff, and that includes the teachers because there’s not enough money in the kitty. Well, it’s their own fault, retorts the teachers federation, because back in 2001 the Libs wanted to be seen as the good guys and reduced taxes. Return to those levels of taxation and it’s possible to increase education funding. So does that mean teachers want taxes hiked so they get paid more? The games both sides are playing as they begin negotiating is getting sickening. Finding solutions to such immense problems is not going to be easy. The odds of making it happen, though, would be improved immensely if they got rid of the petty backbiting that consumes both sides at such a nauseating level. They are certainly not setting good examples for the children. There are some amazing kids coming out of our public education system and moving on to post-secondary institutions or real world success. The terrific thing about school sports teams, music programs and clubs is that the outstanding individuals who run them teach students how to work together and problem solve for a common goal. It’s time the teachers and politicians learned the same lesson. —Burnaby News Leader The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

TransLink gives value on roads Editor: Re: editorial — “A service we don’t use,”(The Times, Aug. 30). Value for money, especially when it comes to the taxes we pay, is and should be important. In that regard, we’d like to speak to the question your editorial raises about the value residents of Langley City and Township receive from taxes paid to TransLink. Transit services in the South of Fraser, although still far behind where they need to be, have been improved substantially since TransLink took over the system in 1999. But TransLink is more than transit. The funding we provide for major arterial roads have resulted in significant improvements for all road Langley Times file photo users — motorists, truckers and bus riders alike. This TransLink’s contribution to road improvements is one of the ways that Langley residents get value for their tax dollars. raises one additional factor
to look at in the ‘value for money’ equation. Well over 50 per cent of Langley commuters leave their home municipality on their daily trips to work or school. Be it by bus or car, they are relying on roads along their route that TransLink funds and improves. Considering the amount of the regional network residents use, an independent study Langley commissioned about 10 years ago concluded that residents were getting their money’s worth from TransLink. Although more is needed, there has been a great deal of effort and investment since then to deliver value to everyone south of the Fraser. Ken Hardie, director of communications, TransLink
Straight talk on tax burden is needed Editor: Even though we now have a decision from the voters of B.C. to scrap the HST, I wonder when or if we will ever hear any straight talk from our government about the tax burden on individual citizens. It seems there were two main reasons that the HST was defeated — first, because the electorate was extremely angry at the duplicitous methods used to bring it in, in the first place, and second, because we saw the shift of so much more of the tax burden on to the individual and less on the corporate entities. When the government was trying to sell the HST last year, they promised prices would drop on goods, offsetting the tax increases. Talk about pricing reductions was noticeably
absent during the government’s recent ridiculously-biased campaign around the referendum — because of course those reductions never happened in the year we have been paying the additional taxes. So now I expect the provincial government is going to blame all of its financial woes on the loss of the HST, and use that as an excuse to attack public sector workers, to cut services to citizens, and to defend their ever-increasing deficits. It is long past time for an honest discussion in our province about the cost of the social services we so value, and an equitable means of paying for them. Adding consumption taxes to everything the govern-
ment can tie into creates an imbalance that means the average income earner is paying a much greater share, relative to income, of the overall burden than high earners and corporations. It doesn’t make sense in our economy, and is not what the electorate has asked for. We have seen a decade of cuts to services in the midst of a good economy and yet an everincreasing deficit. I thought these guys told us they could manage the economy — or is it just that they can manage the economy to benefit their friends, at the expense of the average taxpayer? Michelle Laurie, Langley
Ferguson attempts to rewrite history Editor: Councillor Steve Ferguson (The Times, Sept. 1) attempts to revise recent Township tax history. He lauds recently-departed councillor Jordan Bateman for his commitment to the bugetary process and their collective “diligent “ work as members of the finance task force. Councillor Charlie Fox, in his recent announcement indicating his intention to stand for re-election as councillor, stated his commitment to hold tax increases to the rate of inflation. If I may, I would point out that these three charter members of the infamous Gang of Six (now five), and their colleagues, The
were responsible for tax increases in the last two budgets of over twice the rate of inflation. They fought the concept of a finance task force and staunchly rejected all of its recommendations. Ferguson stated at the time that staff budget requests were reasonable and justified, because “they wouldn’t ask for the money if they didn’t need it.” All of these councillors pursued the very costly, too early, too fast replacement of paid on-call firefighters. We now have a very expensive, well-equipped efficient full-time fire fighting system, over a large area with no
fire hydrants. This was a very costly cart before the horse issue, at taxpayers’ expense. All of these councillors fiercely ignored the loud support for reasonable and low tax increases. They legislated tax rates double the rate of inflation, ignoring the concerns of constituents. The remaining Gang of Five can’t be allowed to revise history, as they cower in the glare of their record as we approach their replacement in the impending election. Robert Moats, Langley
FAMILY TREE HELP ASKED Editor: I am currently compiling my family tree and my research shows that I may have relatives in B.C. I am trying to trace a woman called Ethel Diel (nee Handsaker) who, I understand, lives or has lived in Langley. She is a descendant of James Howard Handsaker, who was born in England in approximately 1831, and died in Australia in 1921. James was my great-greatgrandfather and his daughter Sarah was my greatgrandmother. Sarah had a sister Elizabeth, and I believe Ethel Diel is a descendant of Elizabeth, although I am unsure in what context. I also know that Ethel wrote a book about the Handsaker family, and I would really like to obtain a copy. Sarah had another sister, Maria Handsaker (also known as Mary Maria), who left England and settled in Victoria, B.C., where she died around 1944. If anyone has information about Ethel Diel or Maria Handsaker, I would love to hear from you. Similarly, if anyone can advise me how I can obtain a copy of Ethel’s book, I would be grateful. I would love to hear from anyone who may be related through James in any way, with a view to keeping in touch. My address is 72 Cumberland Road, Stapenhill, Burton Upon Trent, Staffordshire, England, DE1S 9JS. Karen Coates
NOT WATER WISE Editor: Our neighbourhood was visited by one of the municipal representatives about water usage for our lawn and gardens.

And it establishes a benchmark that shows such an extremely detailed assessment of wildlife is possible, Weatherstone adds. “Our hope is that we could encourage inventories elsewhere in the Fraser Valley and B.C.” Among other things, the inventory has found evidence the mountain beaver used to live in the area. Reviving the mountain beaver (which is not really a beaver, but a rodent considered a living fossil by some researchers) is a perfect fit with the mission of Mountain View, a B.C. non-profit society which is out to save B.C. and Canadian wildlife from extinction by operating ‘breeding and return’ programs.

World record narrowly missed BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
With more than two laps to go around McLeod Athletic Park’s quarter mile track last Wednesday evening, Wes Barker already had an inkling that his attempt at breaking a Guinness World Record was on shaky ground. The balance of his load — his longtime friend Kevin Kokoska — was off just enough to prevent Barker from getting his name in the famous book for the fastest one-mile fireman carry. “At two and a half laps, I was so off balance, I almost put him down,” said Barker. With a crowd cheering him on, he persisted, but as the finish line approached, it all became too much for him to handle. “I carried him almost 14 minutes; I just couldn’t hold him any longer.” With just 200 metres to go, Barker set the 6’5” Kokoska on the ground and reluctantly admitted defeat. “There were a lot of people there and it was a lot louder than we thought it would be,” he said, explaining that he’d had difficulty hearing the shouts from the timer marking his progress. But Barker’s not blaming the noise of the crowd for tripping him up. “I think having that many people wasn’t really an issue — I think I might have got myself

And in practice I can take as many tries as I want.” Speaking the following morning about his narrowly failed attempt, Barker acknowledged he was a little afraid to watch the video of his effort. “It was just this slow crumble,” said the 25-year-old professional magician and D.W.

years as a forestry firefighter, Barker had to drop from 220 to 195 pounds to match Kokoska’s weight. Guinness Record rules state that the person being carried must weigh at least as much as the person who is attempting the record. So he upped his cardio training, hit the weight room and practised carrying his buddy until he felt ready to make an official attempt. Barker estimated that about 200 people were at the track next to Langley Secondary

Make-A-Wish BC and a Langley bicycle company have provided new wheels to an Abbotsford teen battling cancer. While Andrew Carson, 17, initially requested a car, he was ecstatic to settle for the customized mountain bike and body armour he received in August. Carson’s new Intense Slopestyle 2 mountain bike was unveiled during a presentation at Velocity Cycles in Fort Langley. Carson, who is entering Grade 12 at Robert Bateman Secondary, was diagnosed with leukemia this spring after experiencing sudden flu-like symptoms. He has been undergoing treatment ever since, and now receives chemotherapy every 10 days. His family was approached by Make-A-Wish BC and told that he was eligible to have a wish granted. The teen considered his options. “Most kids generally do trips, but all you get back from them is a memory. I thought I’d rather have something more permanent,” he said. Carson’s initial request for a car was beyond the permitted budget, but his love for mountain

Fighting leukemia, Andrew Carson received a new bike through Make-A-Wish BC and other supporters. biking made it easy to come up with a second choice. Carson has been taking on local trails and those at Whistler Mountain Bike Park since he was 14. He loves the exhilaration of heading over rough terrain on steep slopes, and said he’s
fortunate that he’s never had a serious spill. When Carson was told his wish would be granted, he then scoured websites to put together a list of parts and features that would comprise his dream bike. The bike was built at Velocity Cycle. It started with the basic frame, and manager Travis Peterson said each component was then fully customized “to allow for greater control when travelling over varied terrain.” “It’s the Lamborghini of mountain bikes,” he said. Carson is now looking forward to trying out the bike on an upcoming family camping trip. Although his condition and treatment sometimes leaves him weak and tired, he still has his good days, too. Funds for the bike were raised by the graduating class of Terry Fox Secondary in Port Coquitlam which collected $5,000 throughout the school year as their grad legacy project. The money was matched by the Kids Helping Kids Foundation. The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.

Entrepreneur Byron Knelson passes away Well-known Langley business person Byron Knelson died on Aug. 29, after a short battle and complications related to cancer. He was 80 years old. Mr. Knelson’s company, known simply as Knelson, is based in Langley. He was well-known internationally for his invention and commercial development of the Knelson Concentrator, a centrifugal mineral separator that has revolutionized gold recovery. This machine has been a critical factor in development of many gold mines, at a time when gold prices have been on the rise. According to the website mining.com, “the Knelson Concentrator has become a fixture in the world’s most prominent gold mines and the Knelson name is synonymous with gravity separation.” Mr. Knelson is also well-known for his charismatic approach to life, business and customer service, and his sense of humour. A celebration of his life will be held on Sept. 25, with the location to be announced at a later date. Donations in his memory can be made to Mining For Miracles, the B.C. mining industry’s fundraising organization for B.C. Children’s Hospital. Knelson has been involved in raising funds for the hospital since 1995. He is survived by his wife Bea, son Brett and daughter Sandra, and five grandchildren.

CAPSULE COMMENTS with Pinder Mann
The time it takes for food to pass from the mouth to the colon is quite interesting. From chewing to swallowing to the stomach takes about 2 minutes. The stomach keeps it four about 4 hours (longer if you’ve eaten fatty foods). The small intestine processes the food for about 6 hours and ďŹ nally the large intestine (colon) will hold on to it for about 14 hours, extracting salts and water from the contents then pushes it to the rectum for elimination. Head lice usually make their appearance around this time of year. Head lice like both dirty and clean hair so you or your child may have the best personal hygiene in the world and still get the little critters in your hair. There are some very good products on the market to treat the problem. Our pharmacists can help.

B
ill Vander Zalm’s most fantastic claim after the defeat of the harmonized sales tax was that B.C. could go back to the old provincial sales tax in six weeks if the government wanted to. Remember, this is the guy who once figured he could run an election campaign out of his car. He also promised to cut the price of beer, and then once elected, brought in a property purchase tax instead, without consultation. But I digress. Vander Zalm’s typically simplistic analysis soon gave rise to another conspiracy theory. That’s the one that holds that the B.C. Liberals are dragging their feet on reinstating the old provincial sales tax so they can rake in added revenue for another 18 months. That would help repay the federal government $1.6 billion for the transition fund that helped B.C. institute the HST. The finance ministry provided some details to get a better sense of the task ahead. First, there are 70,000 businesses in B.C. that switched their accounting and point-of-sale systems to the HST. It’s not likely that they kept notes, hardware and software on hand in anticipation of having to switch back. Then there are the roughly 1,000 businesses that start up each month in B.C. Assuming most of that continues, by the time the federal and provincial governments undo the HST in March 2013, there will be thousands of businesses that

‘Just some goofball trying to break a world record’ from PAGE 11
LTA president Gail Chaddock-Costello
LSS Grad cruise delayed School blames teacher job action, teachers call it over-reaction DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
A work-to-rule campaign by teachers is being blamed for a six-month postponement of a cruise for graduating students at Langley Secondary School. LSS delayed the cruise from Oct. 14 to April 4 after the B.C. Teachers Federation announced it will refuse any work not directly related to teaching in a classroom. That includes all administrative tasks such as preparing report cards; attending staff meetings; arranging student assemblies and any supervision of students before and after school, at lunch hour and during recess. Langley School District spokesperson Craig Spence said the delay will give LSS time to make sure the cruise can be safely run. “It’s an event that requires a lot of organization and a lot of work and particularly a lot of supervision ... and the availability of teachers for supervision is not clear.” Langley Teachers Association president Gail ChaddockCostello sees no need to postpone the grad event. “Surely one boat cruise could be organized,” ChaddockCostello said. “There should be no difficulty rustling up six administrators [to provide supervision]. I’m really surprised.” It was not immediately clear if other school grads were being postponed.
School on Wednesday evening to cheer him on as he went after the existing record of 15 minutes and 11 seconds. Some were folks he knew, who’d learned about the attempt from his announcement on Facebook, others just happened to be at the park. “People were coming up to me that I’d never met, and saying how cool it was,” he said. “It wasn’t even for a cause — just some goofball trying to break a world record.” Barker checked out a few of the
existing Guinness records before deciding on the fireman carry. “There are a lot of strange ones, like the most cucumbers snapped in half in a minute,” he said with a chuckle. (That’s 75, by the way). But he wanted to try something a bit “stunt-y and physical.” Wes Wednesday’s attempt was Barker’s first, but by no means his last shot at the record. “I put in six months of effort. I
have to try again,” he said, adding he’ll take at at least another month to recover and prepare. “It’s the most pain I’ve ever been in,” he said. Barker also gives a lot of credit to Kokoska who, three days earlier, had completed a gruelling 12-and-a-half hour Iron Man triathlon. Barker To then allow someone to carry him, slung over their shoulder, for 14 minutes is no small thing, Barker said.
“You should see the bruises he gets.” Still, Kokoska is game to give it another try. “He said, ‘I don’t want you to, but I’ll let you.’” There are a few things Barker plans to do differently on his second attempt. For example, he’d like to have the time put up on the score clock so he can monitor his progress; he’ll make sure he’s more focused and, in the meantime, he’ll continue to work on building his strength and endurance. “Next time, he said, “there will be nothing stopping me.” Video online at langleytimes.com.

Allow yourself lots of browsing time because this store is a huge – 8,000 square feet. The furniture and accessories are set up in cozy rooms to demonstrate how they will look in your home. To showcase the large selection of outdoor furnishings, the store added a 900 square foot patio to help you appreciate how the furniture will look on your patio or deck. In addition to furniture, this store offers some very out-of-the-ordinary home furnishings. You will find an eclectic mix of rustic looks and modern ideas. On display throughout the store are pieces of California style stretched canvas art. These beautiful works of art come in various sizes. Some are big enough to totally fill a wall and are very dramatic! If interior decorating is not your thing and you need some help and advice the store offers an interior design service

Martin takes care of the sourcing and marketing and Colleen, who also has a great eye for accessories mainly looks after the administrative and banking duties. Their two sons and the long term staff who work there make the company seem like a large extended family. Bringing in container loads of furniture and accessories has made it possible for Valley Direct Furniture to open a factory outlet store.

Why Be A TWU Spartan? EDUCATION As reported in The Globe and Mail 2011 Canadian University Report – surveying the opinions of more than 35,000 current undergraduates – students gave Trinity Western University an A+ in principal categories: Quality of Education, StudentFaculty Interaction, Class Size and overall Atmosphere. This is the fifth consecutive A+ Trinity Western has received for quality of education, something no other Canadian university has achieved.
REPRESENTING CANADA During TWU’s history in the CIS many Spartans student-athletes have represented Canada on the world stage. This past season TWU had seven student-athletes wearing red and white at the FISU games, three at a world junior championship and one at a world senior championship. Over the past five years TWU has had members of men’s and women’s soccer, basketball and volleyball all representing Canada.
ATHLETIC OPPORTUNITY As official members of Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS), TWU competes in the Canada West division of the CIS in six team sports – women’s and men’s soccer, volleyball and basketball – and six individual sports -- women’s and men’s cross-country, track and field and swimming. Trinity Western’s men’s hockey team plays in the BCIHL. ATHLETICS EXCELLENCE During the 2010-11 season, five of TWU’s six original sports were, at some point in the year, ranked in the top four in Canada: women’s soccer No. 1 (Sept. 21), women’s volleyball No. 1 ( Jan. 25), men’s soccer No. 3 (Sept. 7), men’s volleyball No. 3 ( Jan 18) and men’s basketball No.4 (March 1). Since TWU entered the CIS in 1999, Spartan student-athletes have accumulated a number of significant awards including a CIS Athlete of the Year (BLG) award, four CIS Player of the Year awards, a CIS Elite Eight Academic All-Canadian award, three CIS Rookie of the Year awards, a CIS Libero of the Year award, three CIS community service awards and numerous CIS All-Canadian and Canada West All-Star awards. The Spartans have won five national titles (women’s soccer in 2004, 2008, 2009 and men’s volleyball in 2006 and 2010), 15 CIS championship team medals, an individual CIS championship in track and seven CW championships.
TOURING THE WORLD Part of the Spartans culture is to impact the world and to do this TWU studentathletes have gone on numerous missions and humanitarian trips around the globe including, in the last three years, travelling to countries such as Russia, Benin, South Africa, China, Paraguay and Italy. WHOLE PERSON PERSPECTIVE The Complete Champion Approach™ helps Spartan Student-Athletes become champions in all areas of their lives. This program seeks to address the whole person (spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional, and social). The Complete Champion Approach™ is designed to help student athletes use their God-given talents and intellect to live a life of significance, experience true personal success and to powerfully influence their families and their community. EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY Trinity Western University, in Langley, B.C., is an independent Christian liberal arts and sciences university enrolling approximately 4000 students. TWU offers 41 undergraduate majors and 17 graduate degree programs. For more information, visit TWU’s Official Athletics site at: www.gospartans.ca.

Still new to the Wonderful World of Social Media? 5 Tips for Being Authentic in Social Media
Protecting you and your future
Re-printed from Small Business BC When jumping into the world of social media, most business owners have one intention in mind: sell, sell, sell…and for a good reason! The world of social media is a great place to reach out, to increase your market, and to develop relationships with new and existing customers. However, this is not the place for direct sales; to succeed in social media you must be authentic and provide value to the online community. Sometimes though, this is easier said than done; so here are five tips to help you succeed in social media. 1. Show off your expertise There are two main reasons why people will pay attention to you on social media: · They care about your company/service/product/industry; or · They want to know more about your company/service/product/ industry. This is a great opportunity to indulge your potential clients’ interests by showing off your expertise about your product or service and the industry as a whole. Social media is about knowledge sharing and by doing just that you will help build trust in your company while showing others the value in your business. You will also be creating brand awareness. 2. Be the face of the business You’ve started a business and built it up to what it is today; every aspect of the business is a reflection of you and your online profile is no different. People want to get to know the person responsible for the business, so having someone else tweeting and responding to Facebook posts on your behalf will only hurt your reputation. Your customers can tell if you’re not being authentic and representing your own beliefs and ideas. 3. Give and take Most experts will suggest spending time observing social media before jumping right in; this will help you get to know the lay of the
land so you understand what’s effective and what’s not before you start posting updates. But once you do start participating, it’s important to not just fire messages out there, but to manage a fine balance of give and take. You can do so by continually searching for conversations about your company and commenting on what they have to say, especially if it’s negative. Always respond as quickly as possible to questions or comments that are directed at you and your business. Be sure to search out loyal customers online and thank them for their patronage. And you can also reward your followers by offering discounts, or first access to a new product or service to those who follow your social media accounts. 4. Build a community There is nothing that brings people together like a common goal, interest or cause, and social media is a fantastic way build that community. If you’re a photographer, start a LinkedIn Group to talk about specialized photography techniques and a Flickr account to share photos. If you own an event planning company, start a blog and post video clips while encouraging others to also share their event planning tips and videos of their successful parties. By using social media to bring together a group of people with common area of interest, you and your business will receive recognition while establishing yourself as a trusted source for information. 5. Once you start, don’t stop Before jumping online and setting up a Twitter account or a Facebook page for your business, think very strategically about what you want to do with social media, if managing it is realistic, and whether the benefits will outweigh the time it will take up. Getting on social media is like a marriage, and you need to think about whether this is something you want to get into a relationship with long term. Customers can lose trust in your business if, down the road, you decide to close you account or if you get busy and just stop making updates so make sure you are ready to commit.

Have you considered providing products or services to the Government of Canada? Chances are you if you have thought about it, you have dismissed it thinking that your business is not relevant to the government, however most of the time this assumption is wrong. Types of Goods and Services Due to the wide and varied nature of work which government employees perform – from RCMP officers to armed forces, from street cleaners to administration staff – the Government of Canada purchases a wide variety of goods and services every year. With the help of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), the government’s common service provider and main purchaser, the federal government spends approximately $15 billion a year on goods and services ranging from airplanes to paperclips, as well as a wide variety of services. How to Start Working with the Government Now that you know that you can work with the government, where should you start? Buyandsell.com is the government’s new user friendly procurement website which pulls together opportunities from Contracts Canada andPWGSC. The site’s content is based on a five-step process with detailed guides and video to help you understand the steps for doing business with the government. The site is the main location to find information about doing business with the Government of Canada. Once you have registered to become a government supplier via the Buy and Sell website, it is essential that you proactively promote your business as a supplier. Let them know what goods and services you have and why you should be their supplier. Learn about how to promote your business and find government contacts using Buy and Sell’s Promote Yourself page. Need Some Help? The Office of Small and Medium Enterprise’s (OSME) is dedicated to helping small businesses successfully compete for government business by working to reduce barriers and simplify requirements. For help understanding the government’s procurement process including identifying opportunities and how to bid for government business opportunities contact your local OSME office: Email: osme-bpme-pac@pwgsc-tpsgc.gc.ca Tel: 1-866-602-0403 (toll free) You are invited to attend the Fraser Valley’s most inclusive networking event of the year!

Located at 5511 - 192nd Street in Surrey, this store contains stock overruns, unfinished furniture and many one of a kind tems. With a space of over 8,000 square feet there is lots to look at.
Preserving the environment is an important value at Valley Direct Furniture. Martin and his staff shop locally and around he world for reclaimed wood furniture. You will find a large assortment of furniture from the rish Coast Collection®. County Cork and Donegal carpenters who couldn’t afford to buy building materials, so began to salvage imber from the bogs to make grand pieces of furniture destined to become family heirlooms.
As well as reclaimed wood Valley Direct
carries furniture that is made from other varieties of wood such as mango. Previously, non-producing Mango trees were cut down and burned. Today manufacturers have discovered that mango wood will produce unique pieces of furniture. The wood is no longer wasted. Some suppliers sponsor the distribution of mango plantings to ensure that mango trees remain abundant. Mango wood is eco-friendly and 100 per cent natural.

Home art is where the
A number of Langley artists are opening their home studios to visitors for two weekends this autumn BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
‘I
f it’s in you, it’s in you.” That’s how Langley painter Vivian Harder sums up the impulse that drives an artist to
create. For her part, Harder — now an established equestrian artist and co-organizer of the third annual Langley Artists Studio Tour — was bitten early by the bug.
She sold her first painting at 14 years old, although at the time her knowledge of art terminology was still in its infancy. “I was doing photo realism and I didn’t know it,” laughs Harder, seated in the garden of bead artist Stephanie Dieleman’s bucolic Otter area home. Dieleman’s property will be among the more than 20 stops on a route mapped out by the tour’s co-organizers Harder and Deborah Strong. Winding through the Langley countryside, the tour will feature 18 private studios and several “stops of interest,” — including wineries, farm gate stores and an art gallery — where over two weekends this autumn, 43 artists will make themselves available to talk to visitors about their inspiration and process. Taking part for the second time, will be oil painter Tas Antonopoulos, whose participation last year resulted in the artist’s very first sale. “The recognition he got through the

is
tour is exactly what we wanted,” said Harder. Whether he’s making money from his art or not, it an all-consuming passion for Antonopoulos, who takes a painterly approach to his favourite subjects — local landscapes, bird life and marine scenes. The sight of every new landscape conjures up the same question: “How would I paint that?” “If you stop, you get depressed. You’re always looking at things and thinking about painting them,” he said. “You lay up at night thinking about it,” agreed Danielle Mlinartisch, who will participate for the first time in this year’s tour. Mlinartisch, who took up a brush during maternity leave from her job as a nurse, saw the call for artists and thought, ‘Why not?’ “I’m kind of out there. I like to take risks,” she said. “It’s (the tour) something I’ve always
wanted to do, and I thought the worst they can say is ‘no, thank you.’” While they did have to jury out a couple of people who applied, both Harder and Strong are happy with the response they got, including an application from Dieleman to demonstrate bead making. “I first heard about the tour at an art show at Thunderbird, and then saw it in the paper,” Dieleman said. “It’s in my hometown and I want to be part of things that are local.” Unlike Dieleman, not every artist whose work meets the standards the two organizers have set, has a suitable studio for the tour, noted Strong. That means many will be doubling and tripling up at private studios, while the Windsong co-housing development in Walnut Grove and Fields & Flowers farm gate store in south Langley, will each host six artists. continued, PAGE 27

Devilish fun at Troubadour When the lead singer of Devil’s Tower starts throwing blood from the stage in Langley on Saturday night, it won’t be a tribute to the dark one, he insists. Despite what the band’s growing fan base in Europe seems to believe, the Fraser Valley-based metal band is not about Satan worship, laughs James Buhs. In actual fact, they’re named after the Devil’s Tower national monument in Wyoming — the same one Steven Spielberg used as an alien landing pad in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Buhs describes the group — made up of himself, drummer Scott Aquino, lead guitarist P.J. and bassist Kenny — as a progressive metal band, which means the music is more intricate, more melodic than straight up metal, he says. But don’t confuse it with elevator music. “It’s about aggressive music — stage presence, an assault on the senses,� he says, throwing out terms like “speed, precision and crunchy riffs.� And the band’s singer-songwriter-promoter who, like his drummer, hails from Langley, freely admits he loves the theatrics of the metal genre — the leather and make up, the
Progressive metal band Devil’s Tower will perform at The Troubadour Club on Sept. 10, but earlier in the day, they’ll have a booth at Cruise-In. fake blood that he’s not above tossing on the crowd. And if he doesn’t feel like they’re paying close enough attention, well, there are always a couple of pitchers of ice water on the stage as well. This weekend brings another chance to get drenched in fake blood and cold water, when Devil’s Tower’s is in concert — along with Surrey bands Entropia and Iron Kingdom — during a metal night at The Troubadour Club on 203 Street and
Industrial Avenue. They’ll be shooting a video the same night. The band formed in Maple Ridge about 10 years ago. After releasing their first CD in 2002, they took a long hiatus. After getting back together, they quickly climbed 201 to 16 on Reverbnation for most listened to metal band in Vancouver. Devil’s Tower also came first in a Vancouver battle of the bands, beating out 68 other acts, then went on to

take second place out of 650 acts between B.C. and Alberta — the first metal band to reach that level, said Buhs. But with song titles like Blood Addiction, Rapehound and Dead Friends, the singer admits his style of music isn’t for everyone. “The idea of metal kind of leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths,� he said. So it’s important, he said, to maintain a good relationship with the community. With that in mind, the band will have a booth at CruiseIn, earlier on the day of their concert. They’ll sell the usual swag — T-shirts and bootie shorts, stickers and CDs — but they’ll also collect non-perishable food items for the food bank and sell hotdogs and water by donation. Part proceeds from food and water sales will go to the Vision Quest Recovery Society, which has a house for recovering addicts in Langley. The rest will help pay for the band to record their next album. Buhs is hoping the massive crowds that will be in town for the annual Cruise-In will translate into a sellout that night at the club.

The Langley Players will hold auditions next week for their winter production Victoria’s House. It’s not a whodunnit, but there is murder and there is mystery in this drama written by Fred Carmichael. Set on the British coastline in the early 1900s, Victoria’s House tells the story of Neil Bannister, who kills his young wife and thinks he has committed the perfect crime, but is soon haunted
by supernatural phenomena that are beyond his understanding. Auditions will be held Sunday, Sept. 11, at 2 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 15, at 7 p.m. at the Langley Playhouse, 4307 200 St. Directed by Angela Bell, rehearsals begin in September and the play will run from Jan. 19 to Feb. 18, 2012, with a possible holdover from Feb. 23-25. It is an open call, and auditioners will be seen in the order of arrival.

Autumn the ideal time to showcase the Valley, says Strong from PAGE 23
It started out as a Langley-only event two years ago, but the tour has since expanded to include a number of out of town guests from Surrey and other Lower Mainland communities. “It’s nice to have artists from out of the area. It adds variety,” said Strong. In addition to painters and bead makers, the tour will feature
potters, sculptors, photographers, glassblowers, printmakers and fibre artists among its participants. And though it doesn’t exactly fit the tour’s parameters, members of the Fort Gallery, an artist-run co-operative in Fort Langley, were eager to take part, too, so Harder and Strong penciled them. For some visitors it will be enough to watch and listen, but for those who want to dig in
and test the limits of their own creativity, several artists will once again be offering mini workshops. The 30-minute sessions were such a hit last year there was no question they’d be back, said Strong, who will once again offer lessons in painting on small silk squares. What’s great about her medium, said the artist (who also
specializes in animal portraits) is that regardless of a person’s skill level, they will get a result that is pleasing to the eye. The first Langley Artist Studio Tour was held in November, 2009, with the idea that it would be an ideal pre-Christmas event. The following year, however, organizers decided to move it to September in the hope
of getting better weather. “September is a beautiful time in the valley, and it ties in perfectly with the federal Culture Days,” said Strong. The tour will take place on Sept. 24-25 and Oct. 1-2, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Maps are now available for downloading from the website at www.langleyartstudiotour.ca. Profiles of participating artists can also be viewed on the website.

Home sweet home Thunder pair look to win Mann Cup in their hometown GARY AHUJA Times Sports
Shortly after they first began playing box lacrosse, Kyle Belton and Sean Messenger learned quickly about the Mann Cup. “That is what everyone talks about,” Messenger said. “It is the goal to get to in Canada.” “I idolized guys like John Grant Jr.” added Belton, about the four-time Mann Cup winner who also plays professionally in the National Lacrosse League and the Major Lacrosse League. “They were getting rings,” Belton said. “I heard about the Mann Cup and what it was all about.” Since 1910, the Mann Cup has been presented to the top senior A men’s lacrosse team in Canada. It pits the winner of the Western Lacrosse Association (B.C.) against the Ontario champions (Major Series Lacrosse). Belton and Messenger began playing at an early age. Belton, 24, recalled picking up his first lacrosse stick at age four and his family having to pry the stick out of his hands. He was introduced to the sport by his dad, Cal, a former player who also coached him. Messenger, 23, followed his older brother into the game. Both Belton and Messenger graduated through the ranks of the Langley Minor Lacrosse Association, playing on the
same team every two years because of their one-year age difference. In 2004, they were teammates on a Langley squad which won the midget provincial championship. But now, seven years later, the pair have their sights set on winning a Mann Cup as members of their hometown team, the Langley Thunder. What makes it even more special is the fact the best-ofseven series will be played at the Langley Events Centre. (It alternates yearly between B.C. and Ontario). “It is really exciting to play the Mann Cup at home,” Messenger said. “It is great, all our friends and family are going to come out and fill the stadium. “We feed off the bigger crowds.” “Playing in front of your home crowd, you can’t beat it,” Belton added. “Tons of family and friends will be coming out, so it will be a neat experience.” The Thunder have proved outstanding on their home floor. They went 7-2 at the Langley Events Centre during the regular season and are a perfect 5-0 at home in the post-season. Once they were done their respective minor lacrosse eligibility, both players graduated to junior. Messenger played for the Langley Jr. Thunder and the Delta Jr. Islanders. Belton, who also played rep hockey through minor, chose lacrosse — he was more passionate about the sport — and joined the New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies and helped the storied organization advance to the

Kyle Belton (above) and Sean Messenger (below, right) played together through the ranks of the Langley Minor Lacrosse Association. The homegrown talent are now trying to help the senior A Langley Thunder win their first-ever Mann Cup. Minto Cup, the Canadian junior A championship. Unfortunately, his team lost in the semifinals. He does not want to experience that feeling again. “You can ask any kid who plays lacrosse, the Minto Cup and the Mann Cup are a dream,” Belton said. “I was honoured enough to play for a Minto back in the day and ... now I have the opportunity to get the Mann Cup and it is a privilege” “Being where we are is a pretty incredible feeling,” he added. Following the Mann Cup, Belton will head back to New York’s Stony Brook University, where he is a senior and on a field lacrosse scholarship. Messenger will begin training for Langley Rugby Club’s season.
While the Brampton Excelsiors celebrate their centennial season in 2012, the Langley Thunder have only been in existence since 1994. The Thunder, who play in the seven-team Western Lacrosse Association, came into the league as the North Shore Indians. The team moved to the Okanagan for 2000 and 2001 as the Thunder, before going back to the North Shore in 2002 but keeping the Thunder name. They moved to Langley in 2004. The Excelsiors were formed in 1912 and in their 99-year history — although they did not compete for 13 years spread out in that span — they have captured 23 league titles and 10 Mann Cups. They most recently won back-to-back Mann Cup championships in 2008 and 2009. Brampton plays in the six-team Major Series Lacrosse in Ontario. The series alternates between B.C. and Ontario. The 2011 Mann Cup will be played at the Langley Events Centre. Games one and two are Wednesday (Sept. 7) and Thursday (Sept.8) with games three and four on Saturday and Sunday (Sept. 10 and 11). If necessary, games five, six and seven will be Sept. 12, 14 and 15. All start at 7:45 p.m. For daily recaps, visit www.langleytimes.com.

Saran tops at MJT tour stop It was a Langley sweep of the podium at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) stop at Hazelmere Golf Club last week (Aug. 29-30). Ryan Saran, Callum Robinson and Dylan Reichelt finished one-two-three at the two-day event at their home golf club in the boys’ 17-19 division. Saran, 19, won by two strokes with a 36-hole score 5-over-par 149. Robinson, 17, and the 18-year-old Reichelt were two and four strokes, back, respectively. Jesse Reichelt, 18, and Tyler Roope, 17, were eighth and 11th, respectively. Both also golf out of Hazelmere. In the boys’ 13 and under division, Redwoods Golf Course’s Jae Wook Lee, 12, won by a single stroke with a 1-over-par 145. Another Redwoods golfer, Jackson Trozzo, 12, was ninth. In the boys’ 14-16 division, 14-year-old Cole Briggs (Redwoods) was tied for seventh, and in the girls’ division, 14-year-old Kathy HyunchaeLim (Redwoods) was sixth.

They did a fantastic job.” “It has been a roller coaster ride,” he added. “We had our ups and downs and the team has managed to get through our downs and grow as a team. “That kind of sums it up: this team was solid and never gave up.” The losses — Langley lost games along the way at districts, provincials and nationals before bouncing back — tested the team’s response to adversity. “The negative downswings of some of those losses and adversity made this team stronger and to the point they came fifth in the world and beat Chinese Taipei,” Andrew said. “Without that adversity, I don’t think they would have done that (but) they learned from their mistakes.” Team manager Dean Cantelon was amazed at the team’s maturity and effort all summer. “You couldn’t imagine the tension and pressure that was put on these boys once we put on the Team Canada jersey,” he said. “I couldn’t be more proud of the boys as to how they handled themselves during the event. “It truly has been an honour to be a part of this team and there are memories and experiences that I will never forget.” Cantelon also made sure to thank the players’ parents and siblings. “They made a lot of sacrifices to support the boys all the way to the World Series,” he said. “To the parents, thanks for lending us your kids and giving us your summer.” See video at www. langleytimes.com.
