Masonry fined for wall collapse Langley firm found responsible for destroying bakery and damaging two neighbouring businesses Frank BUCHOLTZ/Langley Times

From left: Langley City mayoral candidate Ron Abgrall, Township Councillor and mayoral candidate Mel Kositsky, Township mayor Rick Green, City mayor Peter Fassbender and Township mayoral candidate Jack Froese, spoke at a debate hosted by the Langley Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday evening.

Centre, which includes commercial space in both City and Township, is the secondlargest in the region, but Langley lacks a major arts facility. Incumbent Township Mayor Rick Green said he’d like to see transit problems dealt with, including light rail in the Fraser Valley and co-operation between the Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley Regional Districts. “It is the most significant issue all of us face,” he said. Township candidate Jack Froese said he wants to establish yearly strategic planning sessions, involving Township and City elected officials, MLAs, the MP and the board of education. continued, PAGE 4

Five candidates shared views on transportation, taxation and leadership styles Times Reporter

Tuesday’s mayors’ debate barely lived up to the billing. Coming near the end of what has been at times a heated Township municipal election campaign, the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce-sponsored debate between the three Township candidates and two City candidates was civil and respectful. The closing statements were perhaps most symbolic. The candidates were told they could interrupt each others’ closing statements, but instead they thanked the organizers, fellow candidates, community volunteers and the business community. Issues raised included transportation,

the business vote, taxation, vision, style of leadership and areas where the two Langleys could co-operate more. One of the more interesting questions was “what one accomplishment would you like to achieve in your three-year term?” Incumbent City Mayor Peter Fassbender said he wants to continue the vision he has for the City, to boost density and provide more transit. Challenger Ron Abgrall echoed a theme mentioned earlier by Township candidate Mel Kositsky, who said he wants to see an arts centre built in Langley. Kositsky said he doesn’t care if it’s in the City or Township, but he wants to see such a facility so performers like Langley Ukulele Ensemble can perform in their home town. He noted that the Willowbrook Town

WorkSafe B.C. has fined a Langley masonry company $8,276.55 over the collapse of a brick wall in November, 2010 that put a wellknown local bakery out of business. The Accent on Pastries business on Douglas Crescent was destroyed when the top portion of a firewall being built as part of an adjacent residential development collapsed onto its roof. WorkSafe found Pro-Built Masonry Ltd. of Langley at fault. “The collapse, which resulted in significant damage, had the potential to cause serious injury,” a WorkSafe statement said. “This employer failed to support the wall as required during its construction.” Pro-Built Ltd. did not respond to a Times request for comment. The force of the impact crushed the bakery’s roof and shattered its windows. It could not be repaired and was demolished. Mike Peglar, who owned the bakery at 20450 Douglas Cres. for 23 years, called it devastating. “It’s basically closed me down,” he said at the time. He was not optimistic the business would re-open.

All about the money Financial issues dominate school board all-candidates meeting DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

The Langley school district’s money problems cast a long shadow over the first all-candidates meeting Tuesday night, before an audience of about 120 people at Brookswood Secondary School. The issue dominated the twohour meeting, with the incumbent trustees and the people who want to replace them both saying they were shocked to learn the district was millions of dollars in debt. Where they disagreed was over the best way to handle the fiscal crisis, with the incumbent trustees insisting they’ve done everything that could be done by agreeing to provincial government demands for quick repayment, while their would-be replacements said the board should have fought harder to preserve important programs. The event was organized by the unions that represent local teachers and school support staff, who arranged to have the trustees file on stage to the music of “Pomp and Circumstance” playing on the speakers. The theme of the evening was established early on, when a tape recorded message was played from absent candidate Candy Ashdown, whose father is in hospital. Ashdown berated the provincial government for “underfunding” Langley schools. “It’s time to build our district back to what it was, a leader in the province,” Ashdown said. While Ashdown and the other candidates seeking a first term tended to talk about doing more to protect quality of education,

incumbents seeking re-election tended to talk about the financial hit the district has taken and how its options are limited. “Our schools have been hit harder than most,” said incumbent Wendy Johnson. “It isn’t looking very good for the next three years, to be honest,” Johnson added. Pamela Rose Combs suggested the board should press for more money from Victoria. “The government needs to realize that we’re underfunded,” Combs said. But she agreed many of the cuts could not be avoided. “Everything comes to down to funding ... you have to be prepared to make those tough decisions,” Combs said. Douglas Smuland, who works as a teacher in a different school district, said he isn’t confident that the provincial government which created the financial woes of the Langley district is the best agency to solve them. Incumbent Rod Ross said the board had few options because the province controls the money. “We have numbers we have to live with,” Ross said. “We have done the best to manage our situation,” Ross added. Incumbent Cecelia Reekie said she hopes some of the spending cuts can be restored, such as the elimination of an aboriginal Kindergarten program. Candidate Kari Medos said the district should campaign harder to reverse cuts to important resources like school counsellors. “The voice that goes to Victoria has to be very loud,” Medos said. Megan Dykeman said cutting counselling is short-sighted. “I think it will cost our district more money [in the long run]” Dykeman said. Incumbent trustee Alison McVeigh said the cuts could not be

She promised she would work to “get it back” if re-elected. John McKendry, who currently runs Kwantlen Polytechnic University, hinted the incumbents should have seen the debt crisis coming, saying he’s “had to close programs and campuses,” but always with plenty of advance warning. Kirsten Schaffer-Charlesworth said creative solutions can be found to mitigate cuts. “Think outside the box.” SchafferCharlesworth said. When the issue of resources for special needs students came up, trustee Stacy Cody said the district

simply isn’t getting enough funding. “The money that has come across our table from government has never been enough,” Cody said. Incumbent Rob McFarlane said trustees had to make hard decisions. “This is where the rubber hits the road and the students are paying the price,” McFarlane said. “We can’t use underfunding by the province as an excuse,” he added. Candidate Brian Leonard called for a “needs assessment” to convince the province to improve funding. A second meeting for the trustee candidates will be held tonight (Thursday) at Christian Life Assembly (21277 56 Ave.) from 7 to 10 p.m.

The number of people voting in Langley advance polls is up from last year. It’s up by a lot in the Township, not so much in the City. In both cases, the indications from the early bird vote suggest turnout on election day will be higher than the previous municipal contest, but not a record for either community. Figures provided to The Times Tuesday show advance turnout was up about 20 per cent in the Township, with about 700 votes cast so far. It’s believed that some of that increase is because this was the first election the township has ever mailed out voter registration cards to residents, something that often nudges people into voting. The Township total turnout is expected to reach 18,000 people, less than the record of 20,000 set in 1999. In Langley City, there is no official forecast, but the total is expected to be less than the record of 4,000 votes cast, which was set in 1996. So far, 384 city residents have cast ballots in advance polls, up eight per cent from the previous election.

He wants to see them all work together for the good of the two Langleys, and he’d like to see it continue past his term in office. On leadership style, Froese said “I believe in inclusiveness and listening to people. A leader allows other people to become leaders.” Kositsky said his passion is “to help others achieve their goals. That’s what I’ve been doing most of my life.” Green said he worked for 35 years in the food business, owned his own supermarket, and “never had a difficulty with leadership skills.” Referring to the conflict on council, he said “there’s two sides to every coin.” Fassbender said he’s a consensus builder and “believes in diversity of opinion. I’m not afraid to make a decision, knowing not everybody will be happy with every decision.” “I don’t have a leadership style,” Abgrall said.

be two toll bridges, and a third if the Pattullo is replaced. He said a toll on all river crossings would be fairer. Kositsky said the Port Mann bridge tolls are a provincial decision, and he said the gas tax is a fair way to collect funds for transportation. He said the province took the hospital tax off Lower Mainland property owners in exchange for gas tax. Froese said the taxes paid by Langley residents need to be even and fair, and he asked what Langley gets for its TransLink tax dollars. Fassbender defended the additional two-cent gas tax, saying it will lead to increased bus service south of the Fraser. He said buses will soon run over the Port Mann Bridge for the first time in 25 years. Abgrall said the new Port Mann Bridge “is a troll bridge, not a toll bridge.” All candidates said the ratio of business tax to residential tax is about right in both Langleys.

Asked for areas where the two Langleys could co-operate, Green cited transportation, community planning, regional growth and tourism marketing. Froese said the 200 Street corridor needs to be addressed jointly, and referred to his plan for an annual strategic planning session. “There is only one Langley,” said Kositsky. “We are always working together.” Fassbender said there needs to be a more joint approach to the fire and rescue service, including co-operation with other neighbouring municipalities. He also said transportation planning is important, but must also include Surrey and Abbotsford. “There is too much feuding,” Abgrall said. Perhaps the most passionate comments were on transportation. Green said he voted against the two-cent TransLink gas tax increase, because there is transit inequity south of the Fraser. He also noted that there will soon

Township mayor candidates Mel Kositsky, Rick Green and Jack Froese answered questions at a mayors’ forum on Thursday, Nov. 10.

Community involvement a theme at Nov. 10 forum Times Reporter

A theme of community involvement, along with personal attacks, were part of the night at the mayors’ debate on Thursday, Nov. 10. Hosted at Brookswood Secondary by Salmon River Enhancement Society, Fort Langley Community Association and Yorkson Community Association, the three Township mayor candidates Jack Froese, Mel Kositsky and Rick Green were questioned by the hosting panel and members of the public on local issues. The evening opened with platform speeches from each candidate, followed by questions from the sponsoring groups and local residents. On many of the issues at hand, responses from the candidates reflected a desire for the public to become more involved in Township council decisions. In his opening remarks, Froese said he admires the community input given for the rebuilding of the IGA in Fort Langley, which burned down in January, and wants to develop a similar community involvement process in the Township government. “As your mayor, I will immediately put together a community planning task force to explore how the Township of Langley is working with the development industry, the community and the government to involve all parties in the planning process and create a new model that everyone can be happy with,” he said. Green proposed something of a similar nature in his opening speech. He wants to create community planning committees in each of the Township’s six communities plus one for the rural areas, with an additional separate community advisory planning committee. “We want to see local community planning committees set up consisting of residents, business owners, school trustees and local organizations,” he said. “The Township of Langley has practiced top down planning for far too long. It’s long past time that we put community back into community planning. It’s long past due that we go to a process of bottom up planning.” On the other hand, in response to a question on soil deposition permits, Kositsky pointed to a new public involvement process recently put in place by council — some-

thing he says he wants to continue in the next term. “The new process that has been adopted by council... gives lots of public opportunity for the people most affected in the area to come forward to council and state their concerns,” he said. This community sentiment continued throughout the night, along with subjects of environmental protection, development and taxes. Some personal attacks on the candidates were also heard. Hank Der, president of the Yorkson Community Association, claims that candidate Mel Kositsky has been absent from “key votes” by council, particularly the final reading of a “key vote” in the Athenry development. “Mr. Kositsky, can you please comment on your political record as pertains to community development in you term, that also includes your explanation for your noticeable absence at certain key votes. Do you feel that this is sustainable and thoughtful?” Der asked. The night Der was referring to was the same night Kositsky’s landlady, Mae Barichello, died. “She was at her last dying breath and I didn’t think I should come to the meeting that night on an important issue... I was holding her hand at her bedside while she was passing away, and she died within 24 hours,” Kositsky responded. Bob Duncan, a resident in Langley for 17 years whose house is located behind the Athenry development, asked Froese if having John Cameron as his campaign manager is showing “respect” for the taxpayers. Cameron was a consultant for Athenry early in its development stages. “John Cameron is too directly involved with developers and I think with that you have shown very little respect to me and to other taxpayers in the Township of Langley in your choice of campaign manager. So Jack, please can you help me understand where exactly is the respect that you speak of?” Duncan asked. Froese says what Cameron does for a living is completely separate from his campaign as mayor. “What he does as his living is his business and I respect that. I really don’t know how that has a bearing on my character about respect,” Froese responded.

THEY SAY

Making a difference

Civic votes powerful

unicipal elections may be the “red-headed stepchild of democracy,” as Black Press columnist Tom Fletcher says (page 16). However, they are the elections that really make a difference in our day-to-day world — in the community we live in, pay taxes in, send our kids to school in and work in. Here in Langley, there are actually three separate elections going on. One is for the Township council — by far the hardest-fought and most contentious. Township council is charged with providing public services such as police and fire protection. It is responsible for roads, sewer and water. The latter two services are not available to most rural residents, except at their own expense. The Township also plans the urban, commercial and industrial areas. It provides recreation and cultural services, and of course, parks. All of these are services that are used every day by many Township residents, and the community would be far different without them. Choosing the people who will oversee the provision of these services is an important task, and will shape the future. The same can be said of Langley City council, which provides services in a dense (and becoming denser) area. It has to deal with redevelopment much more than the Township does, and urban services like transit and how it is provided are important issues to many City residents. The Langley Board of Education, which has received little attention in this campaign, provides a vital service to the young people of this community. It is doing so with an accumulated deficit of $13.5 million, which can be linked to the distraction and inattention of administrators, auditors and trustees in the past. Little has been said about how this deficit, which has to be repaid, is affecting students’ education. The new board also has to deal with providing new schools to fast-growing Willoughby, and one controversial decision to dispose of a school site west of 200 Street needs to be revisited, given that the area is far from built out. In addition, the new board must work much more closely with Township council so that both know how development affects education. There are plenty of reasons to vote on Saturday. Do yourself and your community a favour and participate.

he acts of government are transitory while relations between people are lasting. — Sumner Welles We have just observed Remembrance Day. Those who died in war fought for our democratic freedom. Freedom gained on the bodies of those who died should mean something to all of us. It means we retained the right to exercise our democratic process and vote for those we want to see in office, whether on a local, regional or national level. It is a privilege to vote and so many people have fought long and hard to ensure we could. It is imperative that we make the effort to go to the polls on Saturday, Nov. 19 and cast our ballot. We have the opportunity to select those we want to run our district. We can toss aside those who have overstayed their welcome or we can keep those who have done their jobs as members of council, or we can elect a whole new council if we so desire. This is where you get your say. It wasn’t that long ago that women and First Nations people couldn’t vote. In many countries citizens would love to have as much power as we do with our ballots. We don’t have to deal with crooked elections and skullduggery. Civic elections are powerful because we can have direct influence on who is running and administering our town, if we vote. Each of the candidates represents a group of people who believe in them but they alone are ultimately responsible to the whole community, not just their supporters. Let’s ensure we get the best sitting behind the council table. Vote for the council you want in charge for the next three years.

Langley City taxpayers wrung dry Editor: It’s City election time again and the citizens of Langley City have a chance to review the record of our present mayor, Peter Fassbender, and his council of Gayle Martin, Rosemary Wallace, Rudy Storteboom, Jack Arnold, Dave Hall and Teri James. I have read and listened to the usual rhetoric of the mayor and his council that want to be elected again. To hear them talk, they have done everything in their power to keep our taxes low and give us what we want. Our taxes have been going up every year. Langley City is only four square miles and we have a bureaucracy in City hall that increases every year. The mayor and councillors have received a substantial wage increase, while seniors and families in Langley City are struggling to make ends meet. This spring, our mayor and council, behind closed doors, voted to give the City of Surrey $8.5 million to build two overpasses over the railway tracks.Those overpasses do nothing for Langley City. We still have level crossings at Fraser Highway, 200 Street and the Langley Bypass. We are getting lights to warn us that the

train is coming and to take another route. I feel sorry for all the businesses on 200 Street, Fraser Highway and the Bypass. We will be avoiding these businesses for fear we will be delayed by the train. The overpasses to be built will start in Surrey and end in Surrey. All council members voted to give Surrey this money except two. I suggest the people of Langley vote only for those two. We need independent people on our council who think for themselves and think of the people of Langley City. Our mayor recently voted to allow TransLink to raise tax on fuel by two cents a litre to fund an extension to rapid transit to the Tri-Cities. Also, he voted to allow TransLink to tax our property for more money. TransLink should have been told, until they trim the bureaucracy and do something about the fare evaders, there will be no extensions to rapid transit. Instead, our mayor told us he had to vote for the increase — there was nothing he could do. He neglected to tell you that there is also a two cent a litre increase in

the carbon tax to take effect at the same time. Not long ago, Mayor Fassbender was quoted in the news saying he hated the politicians who were always cutting ribbons and turning sod to get publicity. Isn’t it amazing the number of times our mayor is in front of TV cameras telling us they had no choice but to tax us more, or give our money away, or how wonderful things are in Langley City. We have a choice for mayor this year, and I hope the people of Langley City send a message to Mayor Fassbender that we are tax weary. It is time to tighten the belt. The taxpayers of Langley City are wrung dry. The money pit is no more. As for the four council members that vote for whatever our mayor wants, it is time they were out. Remember, you do not have to vote for six council members. You can vote for one, two, three, four, five or six. Pick carefully, we have to put up with them for another term. Myrt Lemky, Langley City

Taxpayers deserve full explanation on LEC Editor: The letter from Councillor Charlie Fox published Nov. 4 under the heading “Langley Events Centre: A good deal for taxpayers,” intrigues me. On Township council’s inauguration night just under three years ago, I sat beside the general manager of the Langley Events Centre. After a short conversation regarding the Langley Events Centre, I got the impression things were not going as planned. It appeared to me that not everyone was committing to the project as expected. So with that said and a new mayor asking questions, the gold at the end of the rain-

bow appeared to be over. After this upcoming election, I would like someone to present a notice of motion that will give us a chain of events on the Langley Events Centre. I specifically want to know whose decision it was to move forward without proper contracts and why. Not only did this “bailout” cost taxpayers over $8 million, we are also on the hook for yearly costs that would have been borne by those who opted out. As for the appraised value being $100 million, that seems a bit of a stretch. The B.C. Assessment figure doesn’t even come close to $100 million. In my opinion, this

has our provincial government and its campaign contributors written all over it. Just follow the names involved and their contributions over the years. If Fox is re-elected, maybe he could make the notice of motion I’m looking for. If I’m wrong, I will gladly eat crow and he will come out smelling like a rose — or maybe not. And if Fox believes the voting public wants projects of this magnitude done without proper contracts — think again. Dennis Townsend, Langley

One firefighter makes what Hall 7 cost to build Editor: In 1977, a group of volunteer firemen, including myself, agreed to act as our own contractor and together with the volunteers’ labour and a few sub trades, we built the zone 7 fire hall on 248 Street. The total cost to the Township of Langley, including a paved parking lot, was approximately $100,000. Today, according to recently-released Township payroll figures, some of the individual full-time firefighters are themselves earning in excess of $100,000 per year. While not denying the need for wellThe

equipped full-time firefighters in some Langley locations, one must realize we also require other forms of expensive maintenance and infrastructure upgrades, including sewer and water lines (with fire hydrants) and roads. Most of the rural area of the Township has no municipal water service at all. As a Township taxpayer, I find it alarming that a public sector union as well-compensated as are the firefighters of local 4550 of the International Association of Fire Fighters has the spare time and resources to erect large expensive signs and support a

full slate of candidates for council. The majority of their slate are or have been career public sector employees, including incumbents Charlie Fox, Grant Ward, Kim Richter and Steve Ferguson and newcomer Dan Sheel, a fellow IAFF member. As a voter and taxpayer, I have to ask the question. In the next round of contract negotiations, just whose interests will be addressed if the Mel Kositskky/Local 4550 slate is elected? R. Mufford, Langley

SIGN OVERKILL Editor: Does anybody actually think that a person’s decision on who to vote for is decided by a sign along the road? Langley Township should be the first municipality to ban candidates’ signs. Or, if that is too much of a shock — how about 20 signs each? Candidates would then have to take a minute and think about where the best location might be, instead of blanketing each and every corner with multiple copies of their signs. What a relief that would be for all concerned. It’s too late for this election, but how about the next one? A candidate who promises to ban or at least limit the unsightly littering of our landscape would certainly get my vote. Liz Kowalczyk, Langley

AN HONEST APPROACH Editor: Jack Froese has got my vote Nov. 19. Why? He is a trusted and respected businessman with the leadership skills needed to lead council and Langley Township. How do I know? I’ve known him personally for over five years. I know those who work with him and they echo the same feeling I have. I respect his honest, fair approach to everything he does and I know the man in the mayoral seat will be the same man I know today. He loves Langley and I’m convinced he is a mayor we can all be proud of. I ask my fellow voters to visit jackfroese.com, read his platform and contact him to answer any questions you may have. Then come out and vote for him on Nov. 19. Sarah Harvey, Langley

WELL RUNS DRY Editor: The idea behind the Occupy protests seems to be that a very few at the top are not “sharing” their riches with the great unwashed. Maybe we could apply this in the municipal election this Saturday, and elect a mayor and council which might let us keep some of our hard-earned dollars, instead of ordering us every year to fork over ever-increasing property taxes, as the incumbents have done. We the taxpayers should send a very clear message in this election — enough is enough. The well has run dry. Win Bromley, Langley

Many of us had hoped for change Editor: I could never vote for someone who blatantly states “when something is wrong, you have to look at the leader.” Mayor Rick Green has never been allowed to lead. He replaced the current council’s leader (Kurt Alberts), after we the people voted him out of office. Why? Because enough of us were sick to death of him and his team of councillors and their way of running Langley Township. Jack Froese now ingratiates himself with these current incumbents (council) and thinks he is ready to replace Mayor Green. No thanks. Anyone who only sees one side of a very visible problem isn’t ready to lead. Froese’s letter headlined “Blame for discord placed on mayor’s shoulders” (The Times, Apr. 20) has put him on many Langley Township voters’ “no vote” list. Please make the effort to get out and vote. It doesn’t hurt a bit and is over very quickly. Thanks to all the special folks who volunteer their time to help make this happen. D.J. Cummings, Langley

Is incinerator so much flim-flam? Editor: I would like to know why the mayor of Surrey, Dianne Watts, never brought up the issue of a garbage incinerator at 192 Street and 32 Avenue, just a short distance from Brookswood. Did Peter Fassbdender know, or Rick Green? What about the Langley Township councillors? As I understand it, there was an option on the site to develop it as an incinerator. I hope this thing is dead now, and is not just being used as a flim-flam election statement by another honest politician. It’s just like not raising gas taxes. Can you say Fassbender/Watts? Honest. A better location for this incinerator would be in Bridgeview in Surrey, on the banks of the Fraser River, so garbage could arrive by barge and the waste removed the same way. That takes trucks off the roads. Then perhaps Mayor Watts will be able to view and inhale the effects of it from her new city hall. I have another suggestion. If the councillors of the Township are looking for ways to save money, why don’t they reduce the size of council back to six as it was before? Surely they are not overworked. Next remove all the plants and trees from road medians, thereby not paying large labour costs to maintain them. There is also disruption of traffic, with a couple of flag people and workers weeding every couple of weeks all spring and summer. Let’s not forget the labour costs to water them as well. I believe that both the Township and City should be made to run their budgets with no tax increases, and no deficit. What a novel concept. J. Klaboe, Langley

208 St. deer warning suggested A resident who recently delivered a report to Township council about the heavy death toll of wildlife on Willoughby roads is asking the municipality to issue a warning alerting the driving public about deer “How about relocating the deer?” Patricia Tallman has asked in an e-mail to staff. She told them that “208 Street is particularly troublesome as it has no street lights. This is a very big safety issue.” Tallman said that a reception-

ist at the Township Operations Centre advised her that the municipality regularly receives calls about deer that have been struck by vehicles in rural areas. Tallman said that is a concern which needs to be addressed. “My concern is that this is a live deer that is in trouble, seen in a particularly dense area of Langley, not rural with space to roam, and that it is in danger of being hit every time it tries to cross a road,” she wrote planner Paul Crawford.

“The last time I informed TOL staff of imminent danger of potential animal crossing, it resulted in that animal being hit and killed. Perhaps this time, we could do more to prevent this big animal from being hit,” Tallman wrote. She has suggested an alert which could include road signs with blinking lights. Crawford said that the Township is “reviewing and consulting with others to determine what approach may be appropriate.”

This Saturday be SURE and VOTE ...

Sonya Paterson believes... The future of Langley is based on what we do today!

As a citizen of Langley for 28 years I have been committed to helping my community. I previously was elected to Langley’s School Board and served two terms. I was a founding Director of Valley Transpiration Advisory Committee and served three years as President. In 2008 I ran for Council and narrowly missed a seat placing 9th. I have remained fully engaged in Township matters over the last three years by regularly attending Council meetings, public hearings, public forums and speaking out on numerous issues. I have worked hard to stay connected with citizens and become familiar with their issues throughout all of Langley.

Given the opportunity to represent Langley I commit to the following: • To work with Mayor and Council to improve the consultation process to be more inclusive of citizens and to ﬁnd solutions as to how we can do a better job of engaging the public in our long term community planning.

• Seek more designated off leash opportunities for dogs and their owners. • To work towards keeping Langley a healthy safe community for you and your family.

• Budget within our means.

• To be a respectful representative on Langley Township Council and encourage a positive working environment for Langley Township staff and employees.

• I will not waiver from insisting Langley receives it’s fare share of efﬁcient, affordable and sustainable transit and transportation.

• My campaign contributions come from myself, family, friends and business associates. I do not seek donations from developers.

• Support those who provide valued community safety services, protection of life, property and the environment.

• To be available to you, listen to your concerns and do my very best to become informed on all matters affecting Langley.

• Keep taxes in line with the cost of living.

• Protect our farmland and our aquifers.

Passengers travelling on a Greyhound bus through Langley on Oct. 11 may have been exposed to a passenger with an infectious case of tuberculosis (TB). The British Columbia Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) issued a public health alert notice when they were notified that a passenger travelling on Greyhound bus #5098 was identified as being a positive carrier of TB. The Greyhound bus left Van-

couver at 7:45 a.m. and travelled through Coquitlam, Langley, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Hope, Merritt, Westbank and arrived at the Kelowna depot at 11:55 p.m. The ill passenger was on board the bus for the entire journey and is currently receiving treatment in Kelowna. TB is a bacterial infection of the lungs and is primarily spread from person to person by breathing in infected air during close contact. TB can remain in an inactive or dormant state for years without causing symptoms or

Douglas himself is the link to the Caribbean, where he was born in Demerara, British Guiana, (which is now the independent nation of Guyana) in 1803. Douglas’ father was a Scottish merchant who had trade interests in South America, and his mother was a Creole. Douglas was educated in Scotland, and at age 16 he landed in Quebec, working for the North West Company at various trading posts in

eastern and central Canada. In 1821, the NWC merged with the Hudson’s Bay Company, and four years later Douglas was transferred to Fort St. James to complete his apprenticeship. In 1848, he was moved to Fort Victoria to head the company’s operation on the Pacific Coast and, three years later, Richard Blanchard, the governor of Victoria, appointed Douglas as governor of Vancouver Islands. In 1858, as thousands

of miners began arriving in Victoria at the beginning of the gold rush, it fell to Douglas to maintain law and order, and build roads, hospitals and schools as the population boomed. On Nov. 19, 1858 in Fort Langley, he was sworn in as the first governor as the new crown colony of British Columbia was proclaimed. Douglas, who was knighted in 1863, died in 1877 and is buried in Victoria’s Ross Bay Cemetery.

Township employees give to United Way Over the past 20 years, Township of Langley employees who are committed to making a difference in the community they work in have been giving to the United Way, and their donations have almost reached the halfmillion dollar mark. They have given more than $450,000 to the United Way over the past two decades, their efforts helping to provide support to children, the elderly, and others who are in need. The United Way works to change lives for the better by raising money for programs and services that improve local social conditions. “The Township has a tradition of supporting the United Way and it’s wonderful to see our staff giving what they can to help,” said Hilary Tsikayi, who co-chairs the committee of volunteers. “It is heartening to know our employees care about people in our community and are always so willing to give their time and donations to assist those who are struggling.” Every year, a volunteer committee is formed to plan fundraising events that can be enjoyed

United Way resource development co-ordinator Lani Ng said that the organization is proud not only of the investments it makes with partner agencies to provide critical services, but also of the deep partnerships it has formed with communities such as the Township. “The commitment demonstrated by the Township of Langley and its employees is helping us to change the future,” she said. Last year, Township employees raised more than $35,000 from donations and fundraising events, contributing to the total of $285,964 that was collected for the United Way by organizations, businesses, and individuals throughout Langley Township and City. In 2010, the United Way invested $868,899 in programs and services for Langley, with a net gain of $582,925 in dollars raised versus invested. The Township’s 2011 United Way Campaign was recently concluded and staff are looking forward to making another contribution to the organization when the total is tallied.

he red-headed stepchild of democracy is shivering on the doorstep again. Most won’t open the door. Local government elections are always overshadowed by louder events, and this year is no different. The “occupy” nonsense, the teachers’ strike, the precarious economy and the media’s fixation on them are part of the problem. But let’s face it. Public indifference to local government has left it mainly to self-serving politicians and special interest groups. Community newspapers soldier on through the three years between elections to highlight issues and choices, but few people join the debate when it’s time to vote. The recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention demonstrated this. Local politicians love to tell senior governments what to do. They’d much rather debate smart meters

faster than private sector rates. Not enough people care. The Canadian Union of Public Employees is campaigning against contracted private development of water utilities. They prefer their high-cost monopoly. And outside their special interest support, not enough people care. School board elections have become even more of an insider activity. To take one example, a school trustee candidate forum in Abbotsford last week started with a protest march by 18 teachers. They carried their message inside, demanding smaller classes, more special needs support, the familiar list of demands in their dysfunctional relationship with the province-wide bargaining agent. Of course school trustees have no actual authority over these huge and costly issues. The province took away school board taxing authority long ago, because the teacher and support staff unions have the money and voting numbers to control low-turnout local elections for their own benefit. Now the unions have to settle for vetting candidates according to their willingness to lobby the B.C. government on behalf of unions. (If anyone has attended a trustee forum that wasn’t taken over by teachers, please e-mail me. I haven’t heard of one for years.) There are still things you can do to compare candidates, and it doesn’t take long to sort through a dozen or two hopefuls. Please, check this paper’s website for recent surveys and stories on the local candidates, and take some time on Saturday to back the people who you think have the best experience, independence and understanding of the community’s needs.

Council hired team builders - but they said:

Mel Kositsky for Mayor It’s TIME!

‘Green’s attitude at fault - he rejects leadership principles’

Langley Township is my home and has been since the mid70s when I returned to the West Coast from my first newspaper job in Medicine Hat following university. As a trained journalist I decided community news was the way for me and I settled in Langley to work for the local newspapers. I also settled in Langley to become involved in the horse industry and have been honored by the Horse Council of BC for promoting the equine industry through my horse columns and cable television shows called “Along for the Ride”. Langley is truly ‘the horse capital of BC.’ In 1993, after serving two terms on the board of the Langley Chamber of Commerce, I became interested in Local Government and ran for council. I have since won six straight elections and have been your councillor for 18 years.

“On Saturday, November 19th I ask for your support to become the next Mayor of Langley Township.” Leading a local government requires many skills - not the least is listening to a variety of opinions and bringing council and residents together to make collective and informed decisions. That is the way that municipal councils work best. They are not a “one man show” as we have witnessed during the past three years.

“Rick Green has broken the trust with council, staff and the community ...and it can never be repaired.” Good government requires co-operation and compromise in order to get things done. The community provides direction on priorities and the council as a whole decides how best to spend limited financial resources to build a healthy and safe community for residents of all ages. My leadership skills have been proven by being elected to serve on many boards, committees and task forces by my local government peers. I am well prepared to represent Langley Township with other orders of government. Langley Township has a bright future ahead and as your next Mayor I will lead a council that will focus on what is best for our comunity and restore TRUST in the Mayor’s office.

More 'non-truths'

Council 'misled' again

The Lidstone report revealed facts about Green’s mishandling of private information; but to date he has not apologized to those mentioned in the documents that he claims were stolen from his office. But there are other episodes that are suspicious according to two members of council. Clr. Ferguson says “the mayor was not truthful about the resignation of the mayor’s finance committee.” According to Ferguson, the

day before a scheduled meeting the Mayor announced he had just received a letter of resignation from three members of the public that he had appointed to the committee. But Clr. Fox says a copy of the letter was left on the photocopier by the mayor’s office several days prior. “Why did Green not tell the truth? Perhaps he was embarrassed about the committee’s failure to cut the taxes and come up with the 0-0-0 he promised,” said Fox.

In the first year of the term, Langley Township Council agreed to bring in help to assist with setting goals and team building. “We tried to work with the new mayor,” said Clr. Mel Kositsky. “The intent was to engage a consultant/facilitator to help bring the Council together.” Council hired Gerald Berry the long-time CAO of Nanaimo, and Allison Habkirk a former mayor of Central Saanich. They were instructed to: • Review the duties and responsibilities of the mayor and council and review the communication between the mayor, the council, staff, and the public in a workshop. In general terms, the scope of work of the consultants was to focus on providing services to the Township which would facilitate the building of a positive working relationship amongst the elected council members and between the council and the senior management team. But after interviewing the mayor Rick Green, the firm issued this statement in a January 2011 special report to council:

“Given the Mayor’s open rejection of the fundamental principles of shared and collective decision-making, it is our conclusion that holding a working session to address the issues at this stage in this council’s term is unlikely to produce a satisfactory outcome.” Council members were disturbed and concerned that the term could get worse instead of better. When

asked to comment on the consultant’s recommendations, Clr. Richter said she was surprised at the report’s blunt language. “It’s kind of refreshing, though, to hear

Report says Green rejects fundamental principles of collective decision making.

a consultant say, ‘Don’t waste your money,” she said. Other councilors had hoped that the term would have had a more positive start. Clr. Long said the workshop should have taken place as soon as the new council was elected. “I wished the Mayor had approached the term with more positive ideas, rather than just doing his own thing,” Long said. Things did get far worse when the Lidstone Report clearly showed that Green had broken the trust of Council in the mysterious letter scandal. Lidstone’s report concluded that Green misled several times, misrepresented the facts, and that his actions were dishonest.

Green’s slate platform

View of democratic process 'distorted'

Veteran Township of Langley councillor and mayoral candidate Mel Kositsky is concerned about Rick Green’s view of democracy. “According to Green’s website, Green is convinced that he was ‘voted in’ last term to change the minds of the council. I disagree,” says Kositsky. Councillors are elected on their own merit - by every citizen who votes. How can Green justify such a concept?” Kositsky said. Green’s website boldly states “...I was elected on a promise of change ....but they (council) steadfastly refused to change” Frustrated with the council’s fierce independence, Green now

has a slate of running mates, seeking to control council. “It is impossible for a council to function for the benefit of the citizens, if the mayor has a distorted view of democracy,” says Kositsky.” We (council) tried to bring in professionals to explain how the democratic process can work, but Green refused to listen or to adopt a leadership style of collective decision making.” “He seems to believe that his way is the only way. That is why I’m running for mayor - to see respect for democracy returned to the council table, and to provide positive leadership to the council that the people elect,” says Kositsky.

Finance Committee failed at 0 - 0 - 0

Mayor refused to cut budget

Green’s 2009 finance committee included two members of council and three members of the public chosen only by Green. Other councillors were not allowed to attend the finance meetings for reasons not yet explained by Green. The two appointed councillors, Ferguson and Richter objected to the closed meetings and Ferguson accused Green of arranging other secret meetings without them. But by the time the full budget meetings began, the committee could not produce a zero tax increase - instead they proposed to borrow from utilities and dip into reserves. “Council was quite concerned of the legality of using utility funds in such a manner,” said

Clr. Ward. “So the plan was thrown out.” At the time of passing the budget, Green was asked by one council member if he would suggest cuts rather than vote against the budget as mayor. But Green refused to offer any suggestions. Green has voted against every budget in his term, but according

to Clr. Ferguson, he still likes to take credit for the popular projects in the Township. “The fact is he voted against parks, artificial turf in Aldergrove, the LEC, Aldergrove core planning, expansion of police and fire services, water and sewer.” Green has voted against bringing business and growth to the community,” said Ferguson.

Ambassadors tour Langley, Visit arranged by Christian Embassy of Canada FRANK BUCHOLTZ Times Reporter

Two European ambassadors visited Langley on Thursday. Ambassador Ginte Damusis of Lithuania and ambassador Biljana Gutic-Bjelica of Bosnia and Herzegovina came in a visit arranged by the Christian Embassy of Canada, an Ottawabased organization that is part of Power To Change, which has its Canadian office in Langley. Christian Embassy of Canada serves as a focal point for ambassadors who come to Ottawa, particularly from smaller countries. It helps them to meet people they need to meet and expand their networks of contacts. It also arranges business tours for them, with the help of leaders in various parts of the country. The visit to Langley was one of those.

Frank BUCHOLTZ/Langley Times

Lithuanian ambassador Ginte Damusis (centre) and Biljana GuticBjelica (left), the ambassador for Bosnia and Herzegovina, were at the Fort Lanlgey Historis Site last week through a visit arranged by the Christian Embassy of Canada. MP Mark Warawa set up the Langley events, which included a tour of Fort Langley National Historic Park and a lunch, where they had discussions with a number of community leaders. Among those taking part were Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce president Denni Bonetti, Tourism Langley board chair John Aldag, Langley

City Mayor Peter Fassbender and Times publisher Dwayne Weidendorf. The two countries are similar in size, with Lithuania having 3.2 million people and Bosnia and Herzegovina about 3.8 million, down about 600,000 from before the destructive 1992-95 civil war. The ambassadors learned about Langley’s pivotal role in B.C. history

during the tour of Fort Langley and how the Hudson’s Bay Company and the gold rush shaped B.C. as a colony and later a province. They discussed the role of small business in their countries, the current economic situation in Europe and their hope for expanding trade relations with Canada. Gutic-Bjelica represents a country that was torn apart in

THE DANGERS OF GROW-OP HOMES “So what if someone once grew a few pot plants here?” That house or condo you’re eyeing (though somewhat rundown) may be very attractively priced, and the agent says it’s a steal. But there’s a lot more to consider than you may realize. Buyers, owners, landlords, tenants and lenders are all at significant risk from homes, apartments and commercial buildings used as marijuana growing operations or illegal drug labs. For example, a landlord whose rental property has been used as a grow-op risks having it seized by the government under B.C.’s Civil Forfeiture Act (in effect since 2006). The grow-op problem is particularly wide-spread in B.C., famous for its “B.C. Bud.” It’s estimated there are up to 20,000 cannabis grow-op dwellings in the province, some two-thirds in the Lower Mainland alone. For buyers, a former grow-op house or condo poses serious health and other risks. There may be residual toxic mould from the indoor farming operation. Herbicide and pesticides may have been used in producing the plants, and there may be high concentrations of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, endangering children and adults breathing the air. Safety hazards include a 40 times higher risk of fire than in a typical residence. Even after the home is no longer a grow-op, the fire risk is still greater due to faulty re-wiring or connections, short-circuits or potentially explosive gas leaks. Water and structural damage are other common problems. Critical supports may have been removed to expand the indoor growing space and make it more profitable, rendering the dwelling structurally unsound. Water and humidity may have damaged floor coverings and appliances. The repair and restoration costs (including investigation costs and permit

fees) to remediate a former grow-op can soar into the tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Even after the home has been repaired, it will always have the stigma of being a former grow-op, negatively impacting its resale value. Property Disclosure Statements require sellers to indicate if they’re aware that the dwelling has been used as a grow-op or for making illegal drugs. How can you protect yourself from these risks when making a property purchase? Be wary if the seller refuses to sign a Property Disclosure Statement (sellers don’t legally have to). And pay close attention to what’s in the statement if the seller does sign. It may only hint at problems in an effort to minimize their seriousness. Also make the statement explicitly a part of your purchase contract. Look for any signs that the property might once have been a grow-op. Check for the obvious (e.g., a dented front door, possibly from a police boot, or rings left by plant pots) as well as unusual odours and humidity, odd electrical wiring and the like. Ask to see copies of B.C. Hydro bills to ensure they’re not unusually high (although this is not determinative since power meters are often bypassed). And make it a condition of the deal that the building passes a professional property inspection; an experienced home inspector may notice signs of a grow-op that a nonprofessional would miss. Also make sure the property qualifies for financing. Getting a mortgage for a former grow-op can be difficult, if not impossible. If you suspect or encounter any grow-op issues, consult your lawyer immediately. Written by Janice Mucalov with contribution by Milne Selkirk.

Sip and Slurp event a boost for fish stocks While throwing a party may seem an odd way to turn the tide on overfished or depleted seafood and fish stocks, that is what one local store is doing. 1 Fish 2 Fish Seafood Market is celebrating Ocean Wise month with their second annual Sip and Slurp event on Nov. 17. Protecting and sustaining seafood and fish stocks has always been a top priority for Heather Jenkins and her staff at 1 Fish 2 Fish Seafood Market and the party is a way to raise awareness about the Ocean Wise conservation program. And she feels the best way

is to lead by example and show customers and guests how delicious and accessible sustainable seafood is in the Lower Mainland. "In British Columbia, we are fortunate to live along a coast line that provides us with a fish and seafood bounty unlike many," Jenkins said. "With more than 400 known species of marine fish living in the ocean waters off our coast, enjoying the bounty can sometimes come with negative impacts like pollution and an altered ecosystem." To Jenkins, it is about sharing with the public that 1 Fish 2 Fish value where their

Cold weather warning from RCMP As temperatures fall and drivers get more likely to warm up their cars before hitting the road, a reminder from the Langley RCMP: Don’t leave your vehicle running unattended, ever. “Sadly, thieves are aware of this practice and are watching for you to make this exact mistake,” Cpl. Holly Marks said. Last winter in the North Langley area a mother was dropping her children off at daycare and left two children in the vehicle with the engine running. She was standing not ten feet from her vehicle when someone drove away with her two children still belted in to the rear seats. The thief quickly realized she had unwanted cargo, put the vehicle in park and fled on foot. Should you feel it necessary to warm your vehicle prior to driving, you may want to consider researching and / or installing Command Start or Secure-Idle after market devices, Marks said. “Keep your vehicle secured at all times when unattended,” Marks said. “Children and animals, unlike belongings, cannot simply be replaced.”

Talent show Friday The Kids Can Help team will host their BC Children’s Hospital talent show and silent auction fundraiser on Friday, Nov. 18 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., at the Murrayville Hall on 48 Avenue at 216 Street. There will be more than 15 performers including musicians, dancers, a comedian, karate demo, and even a yo yo trickster. “Local business have donated great items for the silent auction,” said one of the organizers, Sean Thomas. “You can bid on so many things like gift cards, tools, art, electronics, and even Vancouver Canuck hockey tickets.” Subway in Murrayville is donating snacks and drinks and their time to help with the show, he said. Tickets are $5. “Support will mean so much to us,” Thomas said, adding that 100 per cent of the proceeds from the talent show and silent auction will be donated to the BC Children’s Hospital. This year the Kids Can Help Team wants to raise $10 000 for the hospital. Sean heads a team of 13 boys and girls, a few of whom have had a brush with health concerns that brought them to Children’s Hospital. Earlier this year they raised $1,350 at a garage sale at the Princess and the Pea bed and breakfast in Murrayville. Sean and his helpers are aged eight to 15. Online donations to the Kids Can Help team can be made at: http://www.bcchf.net/ise/main. cfm?ISE=KidsCanHelp.

Draw for Justice The Community Justice Initiatives Association is hosting its first “Draw for Justice” raffle to raise money for conflict resolution programs. The Langley-based nonprofit society offers programs that create peaceful and balanced solutions to conflicts for many groups including schools, the criminal justice system, businesses, and community organizations. It is currently working with Langley schools to keep them safe from bullying, conflict and violence through “Educating for Peacebuilding,” a restorative action project. By training conflict resolution specialists within the schools system and creating a “restorative” atmosphere, CJI says Langley schools can be healthy, productive places where students can learn and grow without fear, and become mature, responsible adults with strong values. Since October 2000, the program has been running in two Langley schools, with initiatives started in a number of others. The project is a collaborative effort between Fraser Region Community Justice Initiatives Association and the Langley School District with funding from the Vancouver Foundation and the National Crime Prevention Centre. Raffle tickets to help support this initiative are $15 for one, $40 for three and $65 for five. The grand prize in the draw is one return trip for two people to any scheduled WestJet destination. Tickets can be ordered online at www.cjibc.org, by phone at 604-534-5515, in person or by mail at 101-20678 Eastleigh Cres. Langley, B.C. V3A 4C4.

Township salaries for mayor and council set Dec. 15 Times Reporter

How did Mayor Rick Green’s salary take such a huge jump after he was elected? The answer lies in a resolution passed by a previous council many years ago. It uses a formula comparing the salaries of mayors and councillors in municipalities of similar size. That formula raised Green’s salary to $93,962 in 2009, the first full year of his term. His salary was almost $30,000 higher than the last full year in former mayor Kurt Albert’s term. Albert’s predecessor, John Scholtens, grossed approximately $50,000 in his last full year as mayor. The formula for pay increases for mayor and council is reviewed every January where increases would be automatic unless a majority of council rules otherwise. The calculations are made every three years, and the one for January, 2012 will be published on Dec. 15, 10 days after the new council is sworn in to office. There is no formula, however, to determine just how much expenses mayors and councillors can rack up in the Township. Figures show that Green’s expenses in 2009, his first full year, totaled more than $1,000 per month. At $12,620, his expenses were significantly higher than those of his mayoral predecessor: Alberts’ expenses for the whole of 2006, 2007 and 2008 totaled $9,174. Last year, when council stripped him of his Metro Vancouver committee appointments to punish him for misleading them, Green’s expenses dipped to just under $9,000.

Drug dealer finds religion Langley man sentenced after pleading guilty DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

LE S SAMENT

Y NA A D E OR

F F 2 TRE O ly! L %Sun On AL at & S 33 s i Th

A Langley drug dealer underwent a religious conversion after his most recent arrest, a B.C. Supreme Court sentencing has been told. When RCMP raided the Langley home of Jason William Brown on Nov. 12, 2009, they found a safe bolted to the floor of the walk-in closet of the master bedroom that contained cocaine, crystal meth and a 9 mm. Steyr Mannlicher semiautomatic handgun, along with $7,700 in cash. The drugs were worth more than $200,000. The 36-year-old Brown has a Red Scorpions tattoo, but during his trial, the prosecution conceded that was not formal proof of a gang affiliation. Brown pleaded guilty in April to one count of illegal drug possession and one count of possessing an unloaded restricted firearm.

By then, Brown had undergone a religious conversion while in prison awaiting trial. A transcript of the October sentencing, published online Tuesday (Nov. 15) recounts the imprisoned Brown’s involvement in “several Christian-based courses” that produced a dramatic change. “...Mr. Brown has shown a very positive attitude, a willingness to contribute and leadership in the sense of helping other inmates and guiding them to a more constructive path,” said New Westminster B.C. Supreme Court Justice Murray B. Blok. Brown, the judge said, has committed to doing mission work when he gets out of jail. It will be another 34 months before Brown gets the chance, however. Judge Blok said while Brown appears sincere about his conversion, the fact of his lengthy previous record (including convic-

Blok imposed a six-and-a-half year sentence, then reduced it to reflect the amount of time Brown has already spent in jail, giving him credit of two months for every one month served.

Morningstar has another single-family hit on its hands

Amberleigh off and running in Coquitlam Morningstar is off to a strong start already with its newest development, Amberleigh in Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain area. Sales were set to begin on Nov. 12, but Morningstar Vice-President of Sales and Marketing Deborah Calahan says that there was already a lineup on Nov. 11. Several people camped out overnight to ensure that they got the first pick of the homes when they opened for sale at 8 a.m. “We are so pleased with the response to our fifth and newest community on Burke Mountain,” Calahan says. “I think it is a combination of value, brand – a name you know and can trust – and our previous success at Avondale.” Avondale was Morningstar’s last singlefamily project at Burke Mountain, which was

released earlier this year to great fanfare. Morningstar started with a first release of 10 homes, which sold out quickly. They made the decision to release four more homes to keep up with the demand, and by noon, those were sold as well. Calahan says that they plan to release another set of homes this weekend, so buyers are encouraged to check out www. mstarhomes.com or call 604-464-4440 for more details on the next release and for more information on Amberleigh. The homes range from 3,096 to 3,238 square feet, with three different floorplans to choose from. Starting at $649,900, they will showcase some of the most amazing features on the market, including detached rear garages and the option of a finished basement.

‘The best-designed urban village in the market’

Larco hits a peak with Summit House by Kerry Vital

If you’re looking for a perfect mix of style, convenience, comfort and beauty, you need look no further than The Summit House at Morgan Crossing, by Larco Investments Ltd. The mostly two-bedroom apartment units, some with a separate loft area and a few with three bedrooms, range from 856 to 1,261 square feet, and every single one is packed full of amazing features like elegant tile or ceramic backsplashes and quartz countertops. But it’s the location that is one of the most impressive features.

“

For single people looking to meet people, it is perfect,” says Cam Good, president of The Key Marketing. “(Morgan Crossing) is arguably the best-designed urban village in the market,” says Cam Good, president of The Key Marketing. With tons of shopping and services literally on your doorstep, homeowners at The Summit House will never be far from the action. “We have had a huge number of restarts,” says Good, meaning people who are looking for a change in their lives, often after the end of a relationship. “They don’t want to be alone ... for single people looking to meet people, it is perfect.” Of the 101 homes, about a quarter have been sold since the development opened for sale in September, Good says. One of the biggest draws so far has been the high ceilings. Ceiling heights are between nine and 11 feet, lending an incredible sense of space to every room. Richly stained hardwood laminate flooring is featured throughout the entry, kitchen, living and dining rooms, and every bedroom includes thick plush carpeting. A special feature of every home is an electric fireplace. Other thoughtful details include the soft-close drawers in the kitchen and the roomy white bathtub with a hand-set tile surround and polished chrome accessories by Kohler. Every floorplan has been designed to maximize natural light, so you’ll never feel crowded. If you’re looking to catch a bit of sun or do some gardening, Summit House

features a private rooftop garden that spans over an acre. It includes a fire pit, community garden, barbecue area and a deck for sunning. “This space isn’t available to the general public because it’s on the top of the building,” says Good. “It’s the biggest outdoor deck that I know of.” If you’re looking for a bit more privacy, most homes include a large outdoor patio or balcony. If entertaining is on your to-do list, Summit House is perfect for that too. With the shops downstairs ranging from Thrifty Foods to Everything Wine and Mink A Chocolate, everything is available for putting together that perfect dinner party. Homes at Summit House are movein ready and start at $269,900 for a limited time. For more information visit www.thesummithouse.ca or call 604-541-4705.

The Summit House at Morgan Crossing features a large shared outdoor space, above, perfect for doing some gardening or holding a barbecue. The spacious floorplans are great for entertaining groups of all sizes, top, especially with the beautiful natural light featured throughout.

Time to go all in With a trip to Uganda fast approaching, the Langley Baseball Association is holding a Texas Hold’em Pub Night Fundraiser with proceeds going towards the Pearl of Africa Series. The event will be Saturday, Nov. 26 at the Murrayville Hall (21667 48 Ave.) The team of 11, 12 and 13-year-olds has been invited to play the Ugandan baseball team they were supposed to face in August at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. The Ugandan team was denied visas by the U.S. State Department. Through Ruth Hoffman, a Vancouver woman, documentary filmmaker Jay Shapiro, and Right To Play, the Langley baseball team is scheduled to go to Uganda in January. In addition to the baseball, money is being raised for a series of legacy projects for the Ugandans. The projects will go towards education and transportation costs to play games regionally and internationally, and a better practice field closer to where the Ugandan players live. The Langley baseball team is aiming to raise $25,000 to $35,000 to help assist with travel costs for the parents as well as contribute $10,000 to support the Ugandan baseball projects. In addition to the poker, there will be prizes, raffles and a 50/50 draw.The winning poker player will claim 20 per cent of the pot. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $50 for poker and $5 for the pub. For tickets, or to donate, contact Pamela at 604314-1618 or Coastal7@shaw.ca.

Students at Trinity Western University now have even more research capacity thanks to the opening of the newly-expanded Neufeld Science Centre. “This significantly increases our capacity for advanced research and it is paving the way for our students to come alongside faculty to get involved in the research enterprise,” said TWU president Dr. Jonathan Raymond. The 7,778 square foot expansion provides administrative space for the school of nursing and research laboratories for the development of graduate programs in biology and chemistry. It also houses the new Dr. Jack Van Dyke Chemistry Research Laboratory that supports current chemistry faculty research projects in areas such as ‘green chemistry’, plant chemical ecology, and polymer blends with the potential to be used in the clean up of toxic spills. The project received a Government of Canada investment of $1.953 million through the Knowledge Infrastructure Program, under Canada’s Economic Action Plan. The total project cost $3.9 million. “Our government is investing in research and training facilities at campuses across the country to create jobs, help our economy recover quickly and improve the quality of life of Canadians,” said Langley MP Mark Warawa. “This investment created local jobs and has helped improve Trinity’s research infrastructure, providing benefits now and for years to come.” ••••• An old store with a new name is holding its grand opening at its new location.

SNORING?

SLEEP APNEA?

Most snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (Government website). Millions suffer needlessly and most can stop their nightly ordeals first night. NPN #80027595.

To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH � Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS � For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since #23 taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS �It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. � Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing. Suzie Weigel, 60, Chattanooga, TN No need to make claims. Bell is using 100% truthful user testimonials and gives a refund guarantee.

ARTHRITIS

Pain free in 2 weeks!

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products, physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the American food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let activists confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100’s of testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples:� Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and #1 lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON �My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA�I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON�Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK.�For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC�Others write: Can walk again for hours…Climb stairs without hanging on to railing…First time in 15 years can sleep at night…Rheumatoid pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister.

Buying scarves can help relieve famine Ten Thousand Villages is giving Langley residents the chance to help relieve famine in Kenya and to support Habitat for Humanity’s work in Canada by buying handcrafted Fair Trade products. One of the most beautiful ways they can do this is through the purchase of the ‘Away with Hunger’ scarf, which is priced at $30. Five dollars from the price of the cotton scarves, which are woven by hand, will be dedicated to famine relief in the areas of Kenya hardest hit by the drought. In August,Ten Thousand Villages received a letter from Craft Link Kenya stating:“Many of our women producers and their families have been affected seriously by the hunger. Some women are being forced to feed their children with wild berries to ease the hunger.To try to help in this situation, we at Craft

‘Gentle Giant’ Way GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Brian Way has competed in Strongman competitions for the past five years. On Saturday, he will be competing close to home at the Vancouver Men’s Show, which is being held at Abbotsford’s Tradex.

Brian Way’s introduction to the sport came by chance. Working at a bar at the time, a colleague — who happened to compete in Strongman competitions — needed a training partner. Way, who had a football and rugby background and loved working out, decided to help him out. The pair would go through the grueling training exercises, both in the gym and in the specific individual competitions. “And in the process, I realized ‘I can do this,” Way said. “Maybe not as many reps and not as fast (as him), but I can lift the stuff.” This was in 2005 and Way pledged he would devote himself to the sport and begin competing the following year. He fulfilled that promise and has been competing ever since. “I love doing it, it is such a blast,” he said. Standing six-foot-two and weighing 305 pounds with a thick, muscular build, Way can move a 12,000-pound semi-truck and lift a 300-pound atlas ball to eye level.

While some of the weight amounts may not be an eye-popping number, Way says it can be awkward lifting some of the objects. The 36-year-old from Langley grew up playing football and rugby. His skills along the defensive line earned him a football scholarship to Nova Scotia’s St. Francis Xavier University. He did play a year of semi-pro football with the now-defunct B.C. Spartans, who played out of McLeod Park. But Strongman has filled that void. Way loves the fact he can stay competitive, while staying in a fairly good-natured environment. “As much as it is an individual competition as opposed to the team stuff I was used to, everybody is in it for the same reason,” he said, calling the camaraderie in the sport as very supporting and encouraging. “It is a pretty good network of guys,” he said. Way typically trains every day, either in the gym with the weights or in one of the Strongman events. Some days he works out at Langley’s Fitness Unlimited, while on other days he takes advantage of the gym at his workplace in North Vancouver. Way works for ICBC in their

account services department, working on claim recovery and debt collection. While some may visualize a debt collector as a heavy-handed enforcer out to get the money, the reality is that Way is helping people work out payment plans. “Finance geek stuff,” is how he describes it. Way is also studying to earn his certified insurance professional designation. And while he may look the part of a tough guy, looks can be deceiving. “Anyone who really knows me, knows I am just a gentle giant,” he says. This Saturday (Nov. 19), Way will be competing at the first annual B.C. Strongman Competition at the Vancouver Men’s Show at Abbotsford’s Tradex. The competition features events such as the 650-pound monster truck tire flip, a 50-foot carry with 240 pounds of steel in each hand, a 500-pound yoke walk (where competitors carry a crossbar with two weighted uprights), and a medieval hammer hold. Way typically does a minimum of four competitions per year, but this will be his sixth of 2011. The competitions are run through B.C. Extreme Athletics.

Imagine a job interview where potential employers sit in the stands with clipboards in hands, scribbling away and jotting notes with your every move. That is what it must have felt like to Austin Plevy and Braxton Bilous. The pair, who came up through the ranks of the Langley Minor Hockey Association together, were once again teammates this past weekend. Both were selected to participate in a pair of prospects’ games at the Langley Events Centre as part of the World Junior A Hockey Challenge. They were among the 40 draft-eligible junior A players from across Canada who were split into two squads: East and West, who battled it out while representatives from NHL teams and U.S. universities and

colleges watched. Both Plevy and Bilous have already committed to attend Merrimack College. They both hit the scoresheet in the first game on Saturday, with Bilous getting a goal and an assist while Plevy had three assists, including a helper on Bilous’ goal. “It was a lot of fun” Plevy said. “And it was a great opportunity to play, especially in my home town.” Prior to the first game, the coaching staff told the team that there was 150 or so scouts who had registered to watch the game. “If you think about that, then you are going to make mistakes,” Plevy said. “So you just have to tune it out and play your game.” “It was definitely a lot of pressure,” he added. “Every time you look up, you see guys with clipboards and stuff. “You just have to remember, it is hockey, the same game you have played your entire life.

“You just have to go out and do what you always do.” Both Bilous and Plevy are in their second year of the BCHL: Bilous a defenceman with the Victoria Grizzlies and Plevy, a forward with the Langley Rivermen. Bilous said the games were an awesome experience and a lot of fun to be a part of. “A game like this does have a little bit more pressure but you just have to go out there and do what you always do,” he said. “I was honoured; it is always nice to be recognized for how you are playing,” he added. He was among the initial roster players named last week. Plevy was a late addition after a roster spot opened up. The games are initially for players who are eligible for this June’s NHL Draft. Both Bilous and Plevy are 17, but Bilous’ birthday was in March, while Plevy just turned on Monday (Nov. 14) so he can’t be selected until the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.

Spartans hoop teams both 2-2 The return of Kyle Coston paid big dividends for the Trinity Western men’s basketball team. Coston missed Friday’s 78-77 victory over the Winnipeg Wesmen, but returned to play the next night against the Manitoba Bisons. And with him in the line-up, the Spartans were a different team, using a 30-10 second quarter to cruise to a 95-68 victory. Both games were at the Langley Events Centre and Trinity Western improved to 2-2. “It’s the first chance we’ve, as coaches, seen a lot of success,” said Spartans coach Scott Allen. “It’s a payoff for the all individual work [coach] Bill [Ruby] has been doing with the guys. I think we are slowly becoming who we are capable of being. It’s a long road but I think we’re taking little steps to get there. “I thought we shared the ball really well and I thought our defensive intensity in the first half

was great.We looked after the ball better.We got into our sets better. And the addition of Kyle [Coston] back in the lineup calmed our nerves a bit too.” Coston finished with a gamehigh 25 points while Calvin Westbrook had 18. Another difference was the Spartans cutting their turnovers nearly in half, committing just 17 on Saturday compared to 36 the night before. In that game,Trinity Western led by 14 in the third quarter before Winnipeg came back and had a chance for the win but their shot at the buzzer missed. Tristan Smith led the Spartans with 22 points and eight assists. ••••• The visiting Manitoba Bisons used a late surge to edge the Trinity Western Spartans. The Bisons trailed for much of the game, but outscored the Spartans 9-3 over the final three minutes to win 59-56 at

the Langley Events Centre on Saturday in Canada West women’s basketball. “I think we did the right things at the right times for parts of the game but we just didn’t finish well,” said Spartans coach Cheryl Jean-Paul.“I think some things came back to haunt us.We missed some responsibilities.We missed some definite rebounds that we needed.We missed some easy shots we needed. Holly Strom led the team with 13 points and eight rebounds while Tiffany Olson had eight points and three rebounds. The loss halted Trinity Western’s two-game winning streak and evened their record to 2-2. On Friday night, the Spartans beat the Winnipeg Wesmen 71-60. Strom led the way with 14 points while Olsen had 11 points and eight rebounds. Sarah Cleveland and Chelsey Olsen came off the bench to score 13 and 10 points, respectively.

Redhawks hope to soar Poppy qualifies for B.C. championships after finishing third at Fraser Valleys GARY AHUJA Times Sports

The D.W. Poppy Redhawks are hoping the experience they gained last season can help them improve on last year’s fifthplace finish at the provincial championships. The senior boys’ soccer team returns to the AA championships next week in Burnaby after placing third in the Fraser Valley tournament. The Redhawks won last year’s Fraser Valley banner, the first time in school history they had captured the senior boys’ title. The team cruised through the regular season, winning the East Division with a 6-0-0 mark, scoring 27 goals and only conceding three. Seeded second at the Fraser Valleys, Poppy beat Burnsview 3-0 in the quarter-finals but were upset 2-1 in the semifinals by Archbishop Carney.

Facing elimination, they bounced back with a 3-2 win over Delview and then edged Samuel Robertson Technical 2-1 in penalty kicks to secure third spot. The top four qualified for provincials. “Of course you want to win (the title) but the talent in the Fraser Valley is extremely tough and to finish top four is a great accomplishment,” said Carl Hunter, who coaches the team along with Kyle Barry. “But ultimately, the AA provincial championship is the goal,” Hunter said. With a solid returning core from last year’s group, the coaches knew qualifying for provincials was a realistic goal. “They have always had their eye on the prize and were committed from the start of the season to put their best game on the field,” Hunter said. Nine members of last year’s

team are back. “To be successful at provincials, (they) need to take what they have learned from last year’s experience and the lessons they have learned this season to put it all together,” Hunter said. “Going into provincials, you need to be relaxed but stick to your game plan and continue to do the little things that have made you successful all season.” Hunter cited the work of captains Tyson Hunter and Dan Goodey, who lead the team by displaying a solid work ethic on the field. The team’s strengths include depth and familiarity. “Our bench players help support and push the starting 11 and a good portion of our starters have all played together at some point in their lives,” Hunter said. “One thing that this group has shown me is that when they have faced adversity this year, they have always stuck together and have become a stronger team because of that,” he added. The provincial championships run Nov. 21-23 at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex.

Bantam Bears bounce Redmen, earn playoff date The North Langley Bears are bound for the post-season. The bantam football team pounded the Nanaimo Redmen 37-0 to improve their record to 5-5 and qualify for the Valley Community Football League. The game was on Saturday in Nanaimo. Cameron Sparkes

got the Bears on the board when he tackled a Nanaimo ball carrier in the end zone for a safety. From there, the offence took over. Brandon Sang rushed for a pair of touchdowns while David Nathan added another along the ground.

Nathan’s score came from short yardage after Michael Chan ran back an interception the one-yard line. The Bears also scored two touchdowns through the air. On the first, quarterback Braeden Pritchard connected with Adrian Clements

on a 30-yard pass, with Clements then running another 40 to the end zone. The second came on a trick play with David Fredo taking

the hand-off and then connecting with Pritchard for the score. Sparkes also got some action at quarterback, setting up a touchdown after

a nice completion to Kenzie Oram. The defence made sure the Bears got the shutout with Eric Boomars, Damon Vassos and Jason

Sharp all dropping the Nanaimo quarterback. ••••• The North Langley atom squad lost their playoff game 38-6 to Meadow Ridge Gold.

Two more victories improved the Trinity Western Spartans to 4-0 and helped them maintain the top spot in the CIS men’s volleyball rankings. The Spartans where in Brandon were they defeated the Bobcats 3-0 (25-22,25-22,2520) and 3-1 (2521,24-26,25-23,25-17) over the weekend in rematch of last season’s national championship game which was won by Trinity Western. “It is hard to get a weekend sweep in Brandon, so we’re excited to get out of here with two wins and get back home for our home opener next weekend,” commented TWU head coach Ben Josephson Rudy Verhoeff had a team-high 15 kills, while Steven Marshall had 14 kills and Nicholas Del Bianco contributed 11 kills for the Spartans. Trinity Western also had a solid blocking game, putting up 24 total blocks while the Bobcats had just eight. Trinity Western was efficient as a team, converting on 35.6 percent of total attacks, while Brandon hit at 17.8 percent. The Spartans also beat the Bobcats in the team blocks category 13-2. ••••• The Trinity Western Spartans fell to 2-2 after dropping both matches to the host Brandon Bobcats on the weekend. The women’s volleyball team lost 3-0 (25-22,31-29,2516) and 3-1 (24-26,2523,25-23,25-21). “It was a much better effort tonight by the group,” said Spartans coach Ryan Hofer. “We’re still learning some important lessons about how to play

in crunch time. Last night we served too easy and tonight we missed too many serves so we’re trying to find a fine balance between that ratio. Alicia Perrin had a match-high 16 kills for the Spartans, while Kelci French added 11 kills and Royal Richardson had 10 kills. Perrin also led the way the first night with 13 kills. ••••• The Trinity Western Spartans completed a weekend sweep of the

Selkirk Saints. The men’s hockey team won 5-3 on Saturday and 4-3 on Sunday, both in Castlegar, to improve to 3-6-1 in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League. Brad Bakken and Kyle Benjaminsen each had a goal and an assist, while Trevor Beaupre and Dylan Mooney had one goal each in the second game. “The boys had a lot of heart and we have really built a lot of character

over this weekend,” said Spartans coach Dwayne Lowdermilk. “We battled right to the end and got a much-needed win.” In the first game, Trinity Western scored three times in the third to rally for the 5-3 win. Benjaminsen scored short-handed to tie the game and Brandon Long notched the winner with 6:33 to go. He later added an insurance goal. Benjaminsen and Matt Chaput had the other goals.

Born and raised in Langley, Dylan had a passion for golf, hockey, Iron Maiden, Manchester City FC, working out, refereeing, fishing, boating, video games, wakeboarding, wake surfing, steak, and Caesar salad. He attended Murrayville Elementary, graduated from Brookswood Secondary in June 2011 and was in his first year of a business degree at Kwantlen University. Dylan enjoyed all forms of athletics, playing baseball, golf, soccer, ice hockey, street hockey with the boys, tennis in the park and he was always game to go to the gym. He enjoyed being a referee for Langley Minor Hockey and ‘Gatorade’ boy for the BC Lions Home Games. He was ranked #1 in points with the Maple leaf golf tour in BC and had been invited to the MJT National Tour Championships in Orlando, Florida, along with his best friend and brother, Jesse. Dylan was charismatic, genuine, optimistic and never shy or awkward. He enjoyed life and excelled at anything he set his hand to. He was quick with a grin and a smart remark and was loved by everyone he met. A celebration of Dylan’s life will be held on Monday, November 21, 2011 at 11:00 am at the Christian Life Assembly, 21277 56th Avenue, Langley. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to RBC, account #00608-003-5018650 in support of the Dylan Reichelt Memorial Fund.
