Senior games coming to Langley Athletes 55-plus prepare to go for gold here in September, 2014 GARY AHUJA Times Reporter

When the B.C. Seniors Games were first held in 1987, 650 athletes over the age of 55 competed. But as the Games get set to celebrate their 25th anniversary in 2012, nearly 4,000 athletes will go for the gold medals in their respective sport. And those thousands of athletes will be on their way to Langley, as MLA Mary Polak announced the B.C. Senior Games will be held Sept. 9-13, 2014. Burnaby is hosting in 2012, while Kamloops has the 2013 Games. The announcement was made on Tuesday morning at the George Preston Recreation Centre. “No longer are people who are aging or in the seniors’ realm going to sit on the couch and wait for family to come by and visit them,” Polak said. “They are out there, they are doing things, they are athletic, they are fit and they are making aging an entirely different experience for their generation.” Hosting the Games can been an economic boon, with an estimated $2 million in economic activity by the participating seniors, said Joanne Francis, the communica-

The incident at a Langley mushroom farm in September, 2008 that killed three workers and left two permanently brain dead could have been prevented, according to a WorkSafeBC report released Monday. Workers at the A-1 Mushroom farm on 16 Avenue were exposed to a lethal level of hydrogen sulphide gas while trying to unclog a pipe inside an enclosed pump shed. The owners of the farm and companies A-1 Mushroom Substratum Ltd. and H.V.

Truong were fined $350,000 by a provincial court judge on Friday. “The investigation identified there were systemic issues in the design and construction of the facility. “When the facility was operational, employers didn’t have the proper health safety programs in place. Specific to the pump shed, which was determined to be a confined space, it wasn’t in compliance with the regulation and the laws as is required,” said WorkSafeBC investigator Jeff Dolan. Had proper regulations been followed, the fatal incident could have been avoided. The incident occurred when a butterfly

valve became plugged with chicken manure, straw and gypsum in the pump house that managed the flow of fresh and used water. The owners had a shed built around the pumps to prevent them from freezing in the winter. It had no proper exits or ventilation and is determined by the report to be a confined space. On Sept. 5, 2008 a plumber tried to unclog the pipe and asked the owners to hire a sewer pump-out service, but instead employees were sent to unclog it themselves. continued, PAGE 5

said, pointing out that local competitors have won five of the past six gold medals over the past three years. Thorne also talked about everything the Games offer. “Although the events themselves are the main competition, there is a whole lot more that goes along than the Games itself,” he said, pointing out it is a chance

for seniors to meet like-minded people, enjoy some good camaraderie and engage in a little bit of seniors’ trash talk. Langley City and the Township decided on a joint bid for the 2014 Games. In 2010, the Township alone hosted the B.C. Summer Games while in 2000, the City hosted the B.C. Disability Games. “It was the right time for the communities to bid together,” said Kim Hilton, director of recreation, culture and community services for the City. The success of the 2008 B.C. Summer Games helped convince the Township to bid again. “The Summer Games were probably the impetus for putting them on,” said Jim Marvel, the Township’s manager of recreation facilities and services. “It was a great opportunity and a great thing for the community. “The Seniors Games are another opportunity like that. “We are always looking for sport tourism opportunities and a way to increase our volunteer base and to promote Langley as a sport tourism destination.” Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender commended Hilton, Marvel, Langley Seniors Resource Society’s Barb Stack and Tourism Langley’s Deborah Kulchiski for their work in putting the project together. “Without their concerted effort and their collaboration it would not have happened,” Fassbender said. “It is an exciting event and and we are going to have a great time.”

Toxic build up ‘should never have happened’ from PAGE 3

Ut Tran was the first victim. While attempting to get at the blockage, he said he smelt something strange, took one step and fell face down into 16 inches of water. It is unknown if he had died instantly or was in an unconscious state at first, the report says. His supervisor Thinh Huu Doan went to get help, while Thang Tchen stayed in the shed with him. In the next few minutes, three other men would enter the shed and be overcome by the fumes, resulting in the deaths of Tran, Jimmy Chan and Han Pham, and permanent brain damage to Michael Phan and Tchen. An air sample inside the clogged pipe was taken on Jan. 29, 2009 and found a reading of more than 500 parts per million of hydrogen sulphide. Breathing in this gas as this high of concentration results in “immediate loss of consciousness. Death is rapid, sometimes immediate,” the report says. To begin with, A-1 Mushroom did not have a health and safety program for any of their operations. The workers were not educated on possible dangers nor were they provided with proper safety equipment. According to the report: “The workers had no knowledge of the hazards presented by the byproducts of the composting process. Some complained of eye and throat irritation while working in the composting barns, and were provided with dust masks and goggles.”

The build up of straw and chicken manure that clogged the pipe in the first place should never have happened. There were no screens used to help prevent these materials from entering the system and no action plan to deal with them when they did enter the water recycling system. The plumber called in to fix the pipe had told the workers many times on prior visits to keep straw clear of the area, the report says, but his instructions were neglected. The report concludes that “poor housekeeping, lack of preventive maintenance, failing to correct anaerobic conditions in the process water tank, and lack of compliance with regulatory requirements for the facility” were all factors that led to the incident. The enclosed space of the pump shed was also a significant safety issue. The toxic gases released from the pipe were unable to dissipate in the space. “When an employer constructs something like a shed that meets the definition of a confined space, they have a responsibility to ensure the facility or the shed complies with the regulations, and they didn’t do that,” Dolan said. Since the occurrence of the event, WorkSafeBC has met with employers in similar operations across the province to conduct inspections and ensure that safety regulations are met and exposure control plans are in place, Dolan said.

Is reading small print becoming more of a challenge? Don’t panic. It could be a common age associated eye condition called Presbyopia. Presbyopia is the gradual loss of your eyes’ ability to focus actively on nearby objects. It’s a natural, often annoying part of aging that usually becomes noticeable in your early to mid-40s and continues to worsen until around age 65. You may become aware of presbyopia when you start holding books and newspapers at arm’s length to be able to read them. If you’re nearsighted, you might temporarily manage presbyopia by reading without your glasses. If this sounds like what you are experiencing give us a call.

You & The Law

PRESENTS

BOATING ACCIDENTS AND MARINE INJURIES When pleasure boats take to the water, that unfortunately means a few boating accidents. Marine law is complicated – determining responsibility may involve both federal and provincial legislation, as well as the common law and international conventions. For example, when a BC ferry hit a 33-foot boat owned by the K family, the BC Court of Appeal relied on the 1972 Convention of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea to determine who was at fault. Mr. K’s wife and two sons died in that accident. The ferry was overtaking the K boat, which was cruising parallel to the ferry before Mr. K turned left to port. His boat had a blind spot so he couldn’t see the ferry overtaking him. The ferry captain was two-thirds at fault because he didn’t appreciate that the two vessels were on a collision course and the ferry, as the overtaking vessel, had a duty to keep clear of the pleasure boat. Mr. K was onethird at fault because he didn’t keep a proper lookout. In another case, the court relied on BC’s Occupiers Liability Act and Negligence Act, then in effect, to find a boat company two-thirds at fault when Louise P. fell through an open hatch. She broke her ankle in the fall. She and her husband were visiting their friend’s boat moored at Granville Island in Vancouver after having dinner with wine. The boat was under construction, and Ms. P fell as she reached for a light. The boat owners were at fault for inviting Ms. P and her husband aboard, knowing that hatches were open and much of the boat was in darkness. Ms. P was partially at fault because she knew the boat was being built and shouldn’t have moved into a darkened area. Then there’s the issue of limitation of liability. Since the mid-1700’s, ship

owners have generally been able to limit their liability for damage, injury or death caused to others – the reason being to encourage and maintain shipping. The federal Marine Liability Act says that a boat owner may not have to fully compensate anyone injured as a result of an accident. How much the owner’s liability is limited depends on the size of the boat and the number of passengers it holds. This privilege applies to pleasure craft on lakes and rivers as well as “seagoing” ships. So when 19-year-old Elaine W struck Nikki C, 9, who was swimming in Okanagan Lake, Ms. W was able to limit her liability. Nikki suffered broken ribs, a collapsed lung and serious cuts from the boat’s propeller. Without limited liability, Ms. W would have been responsible for paying considerably more compensation for Nikki’s injuries. Other laws might also come into play, such as the Canada Marine Act, which deals with port safety. The owners of a tugboat and barge relied on this statute to claim that the Vancouver Port Authority was ultimately responsible for an accident involving the “Sunboy.” Mr. S and others were on the “Sunboy” to watch the summer fireworks in Vancouver. They hit the tugboat’s towline and, as a result, four passengers were killed. The tugboat and barge owners were, however, unsuccessful in passing on blame to the Vancouver Port Authority, because they couldn’t prove the authority hadn’t warned boaters of the event or was negligent. If you’re involved in a boating accident, consult your lawyer.

ribbage is a card game that’s been around for hundreds of years. Also known as crib, the card-playing pastime was reportedly created by English poet Sir John Suckling in the early 17th century and remains, virtually unchanged, one of the most popular games in the Englishspeaking world. Crib is a staple at the lakeside cottage or on any family trip. Players can be any age, as long as they are old enough to understand the rules, and it’s a fun and safe way to pass the time while travelling or waiting and always, a great rainy-day game. That popularity and love of the game holds true for the Langley Crib League, which has been operating for nearly 90 years since its establishment in 1922. The men’s league is comprised

of six 12-man teams (six pairs in each team) from throughout the area: Murrayville, Fort Langley, Willoughby, Langley, Milner and Harmsworth. Players range in age from 30 to 90-plus. At the Langley Legion on a Thursday night, it’s Langley’s turn to host the crib play and Murrayville is in first place in the league standings. “We’re going to lock ’em down tonight,” says Langley captain Robert Corrins, earning a rumbling response from the other crib players in the Legion’s upstairs playing room, where tables are being set up with cards and crib boards for tonight’s games. “It’s very competitive but fun, too.You get to socialize and talk to the people you know, and meet new people, too,” he says. Players meet once a week at different locations throughout Langley and are a mix of new and old, from newcomer Todd Paquette (who points out that women have ladies’ nights out, so he enjoys a guys’ night out with the crib league without guilt) to Bob Millar, who has played with Murrayville for 26 years. “I really enjoy it,” Millar says, under the glow of neon logo lights reflected in the room’s mir-

rors. He is surrounded by players who occasionally say their scores in low voices as they peg their way around the wooden cribbage boards.There is also a good deal of chatting, joking and even goodnatured trash talk between teams. “There’s the camaraderie and the competition ... and it sure keeps your math active.” After one team of two is finished playing their counterparts, the players easily switch to their new opponents at the next table, ready for more. Crib involves playing and grouping cards in combinations that will gain points.There is a crib — a separate hand counting for the dealer — as well as a cribbage board used for scorekeeping. Points are scored for card combinations that add up to 15, for pairs, triples, quadruples, runs and flushes. Crib player James Goddard, who is a proud 94 (and a half) years old, has been playing in the league for three years and hopes to continue as long as he can. “We won four last week,” he says of himself and his teammate. “It’s a guys’ night out. We all enjoy it.” But, Goddard notes, the league is always looking for fresh blood

Quick expansion included teams from Aldergrove, Murrayville and Sperling but when the Second World War interfered, crib league play was suspended in the spring of 1940. It resumed in 1946, with two new teams from the Langley Legion and BrownOtter. The teams from Aldergrove, Sperling and Brown-Otter folded,

but new teams from Fort Langley, Harmsworth and Willoughby replaced those to create the current six teams. Crib league player Roger Eberle says he likes the fact that each game is different. “You never know what cards you’ll be dealt. I enjoy the challenge . . . getting different hands, deciding the best hand to keep and the best to throw away and all the endless permutations,” he said. Tim Land, who has been good friends with Corrins for years,

agrees. Corrins first introduced him to the crib league a few years ago, and he’s enjoyed playing ever since. He notes that new cribbage players are always welcome and says they can be “as old or as young as they want to be.” “It’s a social event . . . just a nice way to gather and make new friends and enjoy the competition.” To find out more about the Langley Crib League, or to join in the fun, call Corrins at 604-5339363.

THEY SAY

Taxing by stealth

Backwards thinking

T

he provincial government is busy dropping financial bombshells, and the net effect will mean it is reaching deeper into most British Columbians’ pockets. The most obvious attempt is the announcement Tuesday that ICBC plans to seek a rate increase. It says claims are going up, and its financial cushion has been lessened as the province has taken $700 million in dividends from ICBC in the past two years. This situation is eerily familiar to that of BC Hydro. Its rates are going up by about 25 per cent, and while the need for increased capital projects is cited as the reason, the province has also been helping itself to Hydro’s surplus in recent years. The province has every right to raid the piggy banks of these Crown corporations— it is the sole shareholder. However, what it also needs to do is admit that Hydro and ICBC customers are paying higher taxes, because they pay more to those two corporations than necessary. The provincial government frequently brags about B.C.’s low income tax rates. This is commendable, as low income taxes do attract residents and jobs. But if income taxes are lower than they should be, and Hydro and ICBC customers have to make up the difference, there needs to be some honesty on that frront. The province also has boosted medical service plan premiums in recent years. It is worth pointing out that most other Canadian provinces charge no such fees to their residents, so again lower income tax rates mask the fact that B.C. residents pay additional fees. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said Monday that B.C. faces a bigger revenue shortfall, and then in effect blamed residents for voting against the HST. He said the HST was a better tax system and the province was losing out by abandoning it. It seems that he has a problem with democracy. The HGT was defeated in a referendum almost solely because of the government’s arrogance and unwillingness to properly sell the tax to residents. That ham-handed approach continues, as Falcon’s comments prove. The provincial government is hypocritical when it says that it wants to put all its policies through a “families first “lens. If that was the case, it wouldn’t be raiding Hydro and ICBC surpluses, and would assess income tax at a realistic rate.

ehicle levies, road pricing, distance-based car insurance ... sound familiar? The notion of dinging drivers with added fees to help fund transit improvements has reared its fearsome head again, this time in the form of a report commissioned by the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association. The report, titled Leveling the Playing Field, argues road expansion capital costs tend to be underscrutinized compared to transit spending, and driving in general enjoys “perverse subsidies.” The report offers ideas for easing traffic gridlock in Surrey, including creating a network of HOV lanes for buses and ride-sharers; utilizing existing rail lines to connect town centres; improved cycling routes; and this herculean task that is staggering in its apparent simplicity: “Make public transit faster than driving.” The report’s means for all this? Two words: User fees. That means transportation levies to the tune of $65 to $165 per vehicle and paying more to travel long distances. This taxpayer pile-on is patently unfair — and backwards. If the intent of motorist user fees is to encourage increased transit use, shouldn’t the transit alternative actually exist before wielding the big stick? If you’re one of the people who chose Surrey for its lower housing costs and business-friendly climate, but still work in a neighbouring community and find yourself with no choice but to drive because there is no realistic alternative, tough luck. Fork over more dough and sit tight waiting for the improvements. We’ve been patient enough. Surrey residents contribute $160 million a year to TransLink through gas tax, property tax and transit fares, but TransLink only spends $135 to $146 million on transit service here. Punishing South-of-Fraser residents for lack of transit participation when there is little transit in which to participate is discriminatory and wrong. — Surrey Leader The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Election time a joyful shambles Editor: The election was a cacaphony. I relish election time, especially the local elections where we as voters have the most clout. I love the discourse and the mudslinging. I love to see the candidates putting themselves on the line, exposing themselves to all we can pelt at them. Most of all, I think I like the signs the best. Every street corner gets absolutely jammed up with colourful plastic text and images, each jostling for our attention. In Canada, we tend to be very staid, polite and tidy. Then election time comes around, and all heck breaks out. I think we should have more elections. I think we Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times should be able to elect the After the Nov. 19 municipal election, signs of Langley Township candidates were board members of Fraser collected and stored behind the Brookswood fire hall. There were a lot of signs Health,TransLink and Metro throughout the Township this year, with a total of 41 candidates running. Vancouver. We need a new

election every few months. The press would love it, and many more of us would be able to dress up and put ourselves on display. Our politics is a shambles. So be it. Let life be less contrived and predictable. When we abandon ourselves to politics, we embrace our differences. Politics after all, is about our differences and how we choose to deal with them. Our political system needs our input badly. It suffers from the lack of it, for by ignoring it we starve our society of a vast reservoir of wisdom. So go ahead, get on your soap box, make your views known, risk everything, and remember — prudence is folly. Timothy Jones, Fort Langley

Little evidence to back extremism charges Editor: David J. Standcumbe’s letter to the editor, headlined “Climate Extremism” (The Times, Nov. 24) claims that climate change cannot be stopped.This is untrue. First, who does he refer to as these “climate change extremists?” Are these professional scientists who study climate change? Without proper knowledge of whom he talks about, it is unfair to decide against them. Standcumbe says that “they” say climate change would not cease even if fossil fuel emissions stopped. Who are “they?” Without knowing the area of expertise of the people he is referring too, it is impossible to embrace his argument. What is Standcumbe’s reasoning and evi-

forest fires may burn trees and release CO2 into the atmosphere, but forest fires allow for new growth, which results in quicker utilization of CO2. He claims that carbon taxes and carbon trading would make some individuals feel better about their pollution, but that is all. It is unclear why this method would not work. They both encourage citizens to save money by reducing their carbon dioxide emissions. Why is it an ineffective idea? Standcumbe cannot claim “there is nothing we can do about climate change,” because he presents too little valuable evidence. Liam Henderson, Fort Langley

Editor: Early in the morning of Oct. 29, I was taken by ambulance to Langley Memorial Hospital in what turned out to be a somewhat critical condition. On Nov. 3, I was discharged — thankful for the treatment that I received. From the moment I was picked up, through the admittance process, subsequent procedures and consequential care and attendance, I experienced nothing but incredible kindness, a level of professional integrity second to none, an efficiency of outstanding quality and a genuine and absolute concern for my personal wellbeing. The system worked for me and I believe saved me from potentially a very dangerous situation. Although the first 24 hours of hospitalization was a blur of agony and the attending nurses, doctors and surgeons, far, far too numerous to remember, I should like to personally thank a special few: Mark and Brendon, the two very big and burly ambulance attendants who belied their size by their greatness; Eveleen, the night nurse from Kenya, who in the face of insurmountable pain, comforted me; nurse Jocelyn, a fortress; implacable Larry, whose job it is to cart around the unfortunates; and Dr. G., who let me go, among other things. Martin A. Allen, Langley

The

dence behind his statement? If fossil fuels stopped being burned, there would be less CO2 in the atmosphere, which would result in a lower greenhouse effect, and a cooler climate. Standcumbe talks about the contribution of CO2 from volcanoes. Volcanoes produce enough CO2 to create an appropriate greenhouse effect to keep the earth warm enough to be habitable. A more appropriate way to look at volcanoes is that they create the perfect greenhouse effect, and that we as people are burning fossil fuels which are resulting in a substantially larger then wanted greenhouse effect. He claims forest fires also contribute to climate change. This is a complicated issue since

Two workers pruning trees that were hindering B.C. Hydro power lines have stumbled across a human skull on Department of National Defence land. The discovery, confirmed by police on Wednesday, was made at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday in the 26200 block of Robertson Crescent. Police have confirmed that the skull is that of a human.

Salvation Army accepting debit MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

For the first time, Langley’s Salvation Army’s Kettle campaign will accept donations by credit or debit card. Major James Hagglund, executive director of the Salvation Army’s Gateway of Hope shelter, hopes this will make it easier for people to donate. The hand-held machines have been used in the U.S. for a number of years but Hagglund says he doesn’t think they have been used in British Columbia before. “We’re doing this because of our experience is where many people say they would love to donate but they don’t have any cash in their pockets,” he said. “This gives them another option to donate at our stations.” The machines will be used at their Walmart and Costco locations. Envision Financial will also accept Interac and credit card donations at the B.C. Signature Liquor Store, 6435 201 St., from Dec. 19-23. Last year the Langley division raised roughly $180,000 for local programs and this year they hope to surpass the $200,000 mark. The donations go directly to Christmas hampers, kids summer camps, school supplies and family service programs, including community meals. In Langley alone 45,000

meals are given out annually, feeding 100 to 150 people every day. The Christmas Kettle Campaign moves into full force this weekend and volunteers are still needed to man the stations. There are 2,500 shifts that need filling,

Donations are being collected online at www.fillthekettle. com and at many community locations including Save on Foods, PriceSmart, Walmart, Otter Co-Op, The Murrayville IGA, Canadian Tire and Willowbrook Mall.

Parent to learn his fate on Jan. 6 NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

flashed its high beams at him. Parent’s lawyer, Vincent Michaels, had earlier argued that the fatal collision occurred when Parent returned to the scene of the collision in the 25800 block of 16 Avenue in Aldergrove when it was an “unusually dark night with no ambient lighting” and that when the enraged young men from the truck that had landed in the ditch charged at Parent, he drove away without realizing he’d hit one of them. Parent said that he had no idea his vehicle had struck anyone.

Bureau to benefit Children decorating Christmas cookies, while the grownups sit nearby sipping wine at Township 7. It sounds like the perfect respite from the bustle of the season, and when you bundle it with a benefit for the Langley Christmas Bureau, everyone wins. On Sunday, Dec. 4, Township 7 Winery. 21152 16 Ave., will present another opportunity for the public to enjoy wine while supporting charity. Visitors can chat with assistant winemaker Dan DeGryp and winery owner Mike Raffan while nibbling on goodies, sipping B.C. wine, and enjoying a crackling fire. The activities for children are by donation to the Christmas Bureau. Those who bring an unwrapped new toy or make a cash donation to the Langley Christmas Bureau will receive a complimentary wine tasting. The winery is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., with the fundraising activities running from noon to 4 p.m.

Brent Parent will learn his fate on Jan. 6, 2012. The 42-year-old Langley man’s trial in the death of Silas O’Brien, 21, of Abbotsford, wrapped up on Tuesday in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. Parent pleaded not guilty to criminal negligence causing death, dangerous driving causing death, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and failure to stop at an accident with a vehicle.

The Crown dropped a charge of failing to remain at the scene of an accident because, as prosecutor Donna Ballyk told the court on Nov. 4, the Crown could not prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt. On March 13, 2008, O’Brien and two friends were travelling along 16 Avenue on their way to a border crossing that would take them to a U.S. airport for a flight to Hawaii. The prosecution argued that Parent became enraged when he thought that the truck O’Brien was riding in had deliberately

ost of us choose a first husband and a first horse in a state of blissful ignorance. Not surprisingly, many of these relationships do not stand the test of time. Husbands are a lot easier to rehome than horses.The secondary market for spouses is brisk — getting dumped is not the end of the world. When a human-horse relationship ends badly, however, the four-legged partner frequently faces a grim future. The dedicated volunteers at the Langley-based Horse Protection Society of B.C. have decided that the best way to prevent the growing number of equine abuse and neglect cases is to educate prospective horse owners, before they choose their first equine partner. Or before a parent says yes to a Christmas pony. “We are seeing people buying horses like they would a puppy. And then when they realize the enormity of owning a horse they often either abandon them, send them to auction, simply don’t care for them, or they call a rescue to take them on. We want to offer people a course that can help them understand the huge responsibility it is to own a horse,” said Sharon Wells-

Lights cameras catching action Red light cameras operating at four of Langley’s most crash-prone intersections Four of the province’s 140 traffic cameras are now operating at Langley intersections. The provincial government, police and ICBC announced last week that B.C.’s upgraded and expanded Intersection Safety Camera (ISC) program is now fully installed at all 140 sites. The cameras are now functioning at Highway 10 at Fraser Highway, Highway 10 at Glover Road, 88 Avenue at 208 Street, and 200 Street and 64 Avenue. The cameras were installed in an effort to reduce the number of crashes at intersections, which tend to be more serious because they involve high speed and right angle or side impact crashes. “A large percentage of crashes happen at major Mary intersections, and these Polak locations are all high traffic thoroughfares,” said Langley MLA Mary Polak. “This program will help us save lives and hold dangerous drivers accountable for their actions.” Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman added that the expansion of the intersection traffic cameras will go a long way in increasing driver and pedestrian safety in the community. Fiona Temple, ICBC’s director of road safety, said that the goal of the program is to prevent intersection crashes and injuries, and to save lives by deterring red light runners. She added that failing to yield the right of way, speeding and inattention are other major factors in intersection crashes. “Whether you’re a driver, pedestrian or cyclist, do your part — slow down and use extra caution at intersections,” Temple urged.

Sleeping with the fishes James Kennedy Grade 5 students win overnight adventure at the Vancouver Aquarium Staff writer

A group of young Langley students who have artistically demonstrated their environmental savvy recently had an overnight, underwater adventure of a lifetime. Grade 5 James Kennedy Elementary School students from Marlee St. Pierre and Martine Lavoie’s Division 8 class spent the night at the Vancouver Aquarium on Nov. 17 as part of the Ecosystem Expedition sleepover program. The visit was the students’ prize for winning this year’s Global Warming Poster Contest, which was part of WaterWeeks 2011.

WaterWeeks was presented this fall by the Township and the Langley Environmental Partners Society (LEPS), with financial support from Vancity, BC Hydro, and Fortis BC, to raise awareness about the ecosystem and natural resources in a way that was fun and educational. The poster contest, which has been running since 2003, encourages all Grade 4 and 5 classes in the Langley School District to artistically illustrate what they are doing to combat climate change as individuals, as a class, or as a family. The James Kennedy class was picked for its entry Help Stop Global Warming because of its message and creativity. The students’ straightforward message is this: If it’s less than two kilometres you should walk. “These kids have come up with an idea that could have a tremendous positive impact on our community,” said Township environmental co-ordinator Ryan Schmidt, who noted that nearly half of the energy consumed in our community

is used to move vehicles. “The latest data shows that over half a million trips of less than one kilometre are made each year in personal vehicles in the Township,” Schmidt said. “Furthermore, over four million trips are made in personal vehicles to and from our grade schools each year,” Schmidt said, adding that by reducing the number of vehicle trips under two kilometres would help our community reduce its emissions and become healthier, more resilient, and ultimately more sustainable. On Oct. 25, the James Kennedy class was surprised by Schmidt, Olivia Carnrite and Nichole Marples of LEPS, and Brenna Wheatley,Anita Klassen, and Daniela Savio of Vancity, who visited the class to tell the excited students that they had won. Judging was based on content, innovation, and presentation creativity. James Kennedy’s Help Stop Global Warming will be on display at the school to share the students’ important message with others.

GVHBA renovation seminar attracts more than 300 people

Tips for getting you through the renovation Do you want to renovate your house, but find the whole idea a little intimidating? The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is on the case. Last week the GVHBA held a seminar meant to demystify the whole process. The seminar attracted over 300 attendees, and GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson says they went home ready to go on their projects. He says homeowners need to focus on four key words: get it in writing. Getting everything in writing means you’ll have proof in the event of a dispute. Spell it out on paper and the contractor will have a record of exactly what’s expected, and you will know exactly how much you’re going to pay. Another tip from the seminar is to avoid the underground economy. Homeowners who

take this route are placing themselves at risk by avoiding the safeguards that come with hiring a reputable contractor. You might save yourself some cash, but if something goes wrong you are completely unprotected. Are you going to live in the house during the reno? You’ll have to create a set of rules for the contractor – and your family – to live by. Can the workers use your bathrooms? How about playing music in the house? “All of these rules ... have to be determined up front in the contract,” Simpson says. He also recommends looking for Renomark-branded contractors, who have agreed to the GVHBA code of ethics as well as the RenoMark code of conduct, which mandates minimum standards for warranties, liability, insurance and safety.

Striking a chord with homebuyers

Heritage style chic at Mosaic’s Foster by Kerry Vital

Entering Mosaic Homes’ newest development, Foster in West Coquitlam, feels like you’re walking into a chic heritage enclave, one that perhaps reminds you of days gone by when a classic red-brick exterior and Georgian architecture was the height of style. Seeing the high-end features and expansive floorplans, you might expect this beauty to come with an equally high-end price tag, perhaps one that keeps it out of reach for the typical first-time home buyer. You’d be wrong. “People are pleasantly surprised they can afford a home that looks this good,” says Mosaic’s Geoff Duyker. “I have never worked on a project that had so many (first-time home buyers) ... It’s really struck a chord with buyers.” Ranging between 607 and 994 square feet, the one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes feel spacious as soon as you walk in. Overheight 9’ ceilings and open floorplans combine for a fantastic sense of space. The two-bedroom floorplans are

proving particularly popular. “These are the most effective twobedroom plans available,” says Duyker. “They give you the maximum possible benefit of space.” With three four-storey buildings in the development, Foster is another example of the classic architecture that Mosaic has pioneered in the Lower Mainland. The style is one that took the company about 10 years to develop, and Duyker says this is the first time it has hit the market. “The architecture is fantastic,” he says, adding that the exteriors are one of the main reasons Foster has been so popular with homebuyers already. After developing a rendering, Mosaic sent the image to a database of people who had expressed interest in purchasing a Mosaic home. Within 24 hours, over 1,000 people had

responded asking to be included in a priority registration launch. There is no shortage of beautiful features at Foster, including engineered laminate wood flooring throughout the living, dining and kitchen areas, and luxurious loop pile carpeting in the bedrooms and dens. Speaking of those kitchens? Polished

composite stone countertops and a glass-tile backsplash are complemented by under-cabinet puck lighting and sophisticated Greenlam and lacquer cabinetry with polished chrome pulls. Stainless-steel appliances are standard, while the integral exposed shelving continued on page 2

People are pleasantly surprised they can afford a home that looks this good,” says Mosaic’s Geoff Duyker.

…off the front: “The neighbourhood is setting up well to appreciate.” Geoff Duyker. continued from page 1

system (designed by Mosaic) is a serious work of genius. The bathrooms are a spa-like piece of paradise, with deep soaker tubs (also designed by Mosaic) and porcelain tiles on the floors and tub and shower surround. In a charming little touch, the shower includes a recessed pot light that complements the pendant light fixture in polished chrome and white glass. However, the location has also become a big draw for buyers at Foster. Just a block away from the future Evergreen Line, owners will be surrounded by everything they could possibly need. Schools, recreation facilities, shopping and other amenities are all within easy reach at Foster. The development is the first of several new projects slated to

start selling in West Coquitlam, which is also contributing to Foster’s popularity. “The neighbourhood is setting up well to appreciate,” Duyker says. This means that current buyers in the area are able to get in before prices increase. Mosaic held its grand opening of Foster in early November, and within a week, over 100 of the 161 homes were sold. “It’s been quite remarkable,” says Duyker, adding that Mosaic’s reputation for building better homes has contributed to Foster’s popularity. Foster is now selling its third phase, and there is still a good selection of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes available, Duyker says. Homes start at $250,000. For more information visit www. mosaichomes.com/foster or call 604-936-9300.

WOODCROFT

Carefree Living MARCON’S ATTENTION TO DETAIL MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE

M

arcon Development is now offering a rare opportunity to own one of 13 brand new, luxurious homes, right in Walnut Grove. This is an exclusive community of 13 detached rancher-style homes, unique to the area. With open concept, main-floor living, these homes are perfect for those looking to downsize without moving to a townhouse or condo. Choose from a selection of 1509 sq.ft. three bedroom, two bathroom homes or 2838 sq. ft. three bedroom, three bathroom homes with a walk out basement. The quality and detail put into a Woodcroft home is unparalleled to many new developments. A modern yet classic design creates the perfect ingredients for a large, spacious kitchen. Contemporary streamlined European-style cabinetry paired with wide-plank engineered hardwood flooring, gorgeous 3/4 inch polished stone countertops, and stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, gives the beauty and function needed for any modern gourmet kitchen. Elegant spa-inspired bathrooms feature an ensuite tub with armrests, soaker tubs in the second and third bathrooms, pressure balanced single lever showers, imported hand porcelain tile floors, low consumption toilets by American Standard, and polished chrome bath accessories as the finishing touches. A completely fenced back yard and professionally designed, easily maintained landscaping truly make for carefree living. “The architecture is classic and timeless. It is inspired by gracious homes on leafy streets that lead to parks with horse paths and verdant golf courses. The flowing and expansive interior spaces provide every opportunity to enjoy a good life, to relax and entertain, to enjoy family time,” said architect Bryce Rositch. Marcon’s attention to detail makes all the difference.

Their Woodcroft homes come complete with dramatic nine ft. ceilings in the entrance way, air conditioning, sophisticated French doors opening to an outdoor patio, a luxurious Montigo gas fireplace, designer crown moulding in the living room and master bedroom, smooth finish two-panel doors with modern and sleek chrome hardware, unobtrusive faux wood window blinds, and an extra large capacity LG dryer and washer built with specialized quiet operation technology. Woodcroft is also built to the highest safety standards with state-of-the-art fire protection systems including sprinklers and smoke detectors installed in every home along with provisions for hard wired insuite security system.

Their new home warranty guarantees two years for materials, five years for building envelope, and 10 years for structural defects, bringing peace of mind. Located at 88 Avenue and 217 Street, the community backs onto the beautiful grounds of Redwoods golf course and is near shopping and community amenities. Within minutes are five golf courses, grocery stores, a community centre, restaurants, a national park and trail system and more. Plus transportation links are located right at your door step. “We’ve paid attention to every detail to ensure Woodcroft will be one of the premier communities in the Lower Mainland,” said Marcon owner Marco Paolella. With only 13 homes available, this unique opportunity is disappearing fast. Woodcroft is now selling with viewing by appointment only. Contact Cliff Armstrong of Sutton GroupExpress Realty for a personalized buying experience. Call 604-534-6000 or visit www.woodcrofthomes.ca.

Marcon is one of the most trusted names in development in the Lower Mainland. Having built over 8,000 homes since 1985, the Langley-based company has created an exceptional reputation for building quality homes. Their roots in the construction industry ensure the highest standards of completion on both the construction and developer sides of the project. “Marcon is so meticulous in their approach. We build the right way the first time around,” Roxanne Reid Director of Marketing and Sales for Marcon

Demand leads to huge open house British Columbia’s largest ever open house was held on Saturday, Nov. 26. The open house at Montage,Waterstone Properties’ newest development, allowed potential buyers the opportunity to view all 40 luxury new condominiums. Montage is at 64 Avenue and 194 Street, just across the border in Surrey. According to Waterstone’s sales manager Sammy Wong, the event was the largest

single day open house ever held in B.C. “So much of the market today is presale, but we’re offering something different. Why buy off a floor plan when you can see exactly how each one of these homes is finished?” he said. “We’ve taken the guesswork out of the buying process,” he added. The event followed the BCREA announcement that B.C. home sales rose three per cent in October.

And while consumer demand in Vancouver edged lower last month on a year-over-year basis, strong increases were recorded in the Fraser Valley. According to Scott Brown at Colliers International Residential Marketing,Waterstone is a testament to this report. In fact, the overwhelming demand to view completed homes at Waterstone was the rationale behind the large open house. The open house

Bonus helping families

Christmas tree farm owner Doug McFee says that his farm is more than just about choosing your tree. It’s an occasion for a family outing. “If you are in a hurry and just want to choose one of our Douglas, Fraser or Noble firs we will help you cut it down and put it on your

vehicle. But if you have the time you can use one of our saws to cut down your own tree and then join us around the campfire for free hot chocolate, marshmallows, hot dogs and S’mores.” There are also candy canes for the children,” added McFee, whose farm provides free boughs for

decoration and a baler to package trees for transport home. An added attraction to the farm is the Salmon River, one of B.C.’s most productive coho streams, which runs through the back of the property. “A gentle walk down to the river may allow you to

see spawning coho as we had the pleasure of seeing one weekend in December last year,” he said. McFee, who is a long-time director of the Salmon River Enhancement Society, said that it was the river that was the most compelling reason for him to buy the property. “Working the tree farm

and enjoying Christmas with people happy to find their perfect tree has been an added bonus.” McFee’s Trees is just off 248 Street at 24458 50 Ave. The farm is open on Friday afternoons and on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to dusk.

Curlers ready for Cup showdown GARY AHUJA Times Sports

The biggest curling competition in the Lower Mainland — save for the 2010 Olympic Games — is just six weeks away and will be contested at the Langley Events Centre. “Prior to the Olympics, the last big event like this was 1997,” explained Neil Houston, the event manager for the 2012 World Financial Group Continental Cup. He was referring to the 1997 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women’s national championships, which was played in Vancouver. The Continental Cup will take place Jan. 12 to 15 at the LEC. It features the world’s top curlers in a Ryder Cup-style format. Six teams from North America — four Canadian and two American — will play against six from the rest of the world. The two sides play a variety of disciplines — regular team matches, mixed doubles, singles, mixed skins and skins games — for points with the first side to reach 200 points declared the winner. The Langley competition will be the eighth in the Continental Cup’s history, with North America holding a 4-3 advantage. Houston worked for VANOC for the 2010 Games and then returned to his previous job with the Canadian Curling Association. He has been working on the competition since November 2010, when Langley was announced as the host. “Right now it is just getting down to the details, making sure everything is in place,” Houston said. Houston recently secured the bands who will play at the Patch, which is housed adjacent to the arena in the Langley Events Centre.The Patch has capacity of 1,100 and promises to feature the most colourful and passionate curling fans. March Hare will play Jan. 11, the Time Benders take the stage on Jan. 12 and The Chevelles will rock the Patch on Jan. 13 and 14. “They are all great dance bands; people always enjoy them,” said Houston, noting he had previously used them in Regina for the men’s

world championships. “People may have forgotten there is an entertainment element in addition to the curling,” he said. Two hundred and seventy-five volunteers will help the tournament in its day-to-day operations. Tickets are still available for the competition. ••••• The field has been set for the Continental Cup. Competing for Team North America are Team Holland,Team Stoughton, Team Fenson,Team Howard,Team Lawton and Team Lank. That group includes the 2011 Scotties champions as the top women’s team in Canada (Regina’s Team Holland led by skip Amber Holland) and the 2011 world men’s champions, Winnipeg’s Team Stoughton, skipped by Jeff Stoughton. Team Fenson, skipped by Pete Fenson, are the U.S. men’s champions and won bronze at the 2006 Olympics. And the Lank rink is skipped by Patti Lank, one of the most successful competitors in U.S. curling history. She will be making her third appeareance at the Continental Cup. Team World is made up of two Scottish and two Swedish teams and one each from Norway and China. Sweden’s Team Norberg is skipped by Anette Norberg, the twotime defending Olympic women’s champion, having captured gold at both the 2006 Games in Turin and 2010 in Vancouver. The other Swedish entry,Team Edin, skipped by Niklas Edin, is making their second straight appearance at the Continental Cup.They also won bronze at the 2011 world men’s championship after having beaten their soon-to-be teammates, Norway’s Team Ulsrud, skipped by Thomas Ulsrud. Scotland’s Team Muirhead is led by Eve Muirhead, who has the distinction of being the first skip to represent her country in both the senior and junior world championships in the same year. She also won silver at the 2010 women’s curling championships and is a four-time world junior champion. The other rinks are China’s Team Wang and Norway’s Team Brewster.

Locals dominate

Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times

Tommy Booth (left) and Bob Fisher were among the competitors at the Langley Curling Club’s men’s bonspiel last week. The event featured 36 teams from around the Lower Mainland.

It was nearly a Langley sweep last week as the Langley Curling Club hosted a men’s bonspiel. Thirty-six teams from across the Lower Mainland took part in the bonspiel, with local rinks winning three of the four events, while another rink was runner-up. The A event was an all-Langley affair and was won by the Mark Gilchrist rink — for the second straight year — as they beat the Dean Geiger rink. The B event saw the Marc Desrosiers (Langley) rink beat Coquitlam’s Pierre Gallant rink. In the C event, Cloverdale’s Mel Steffin rink defeated Delta’s Mike Weir rink. And in the consolation final, Langley’s Kent Bird rink beat Chilliwack’s Dale Hockley rink.

Attendance increases at WJAC GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Combined attendance at the World Junior A Hockey Challenge last month was nearly 22,000 people while sponsorship amounts from local businesses exceeded $65,000. In total, 21,743 people attended the seven-day hockey tournament at the Langley Events Centre from Nov. 7-13, according to numbers released on Monday. Those numbers are higher than in 2010 when Penticton hosted the same event, attracting slightly more than 16,000 fans. In planning the tournament, sponsorship was targeted to

be at around $40,000, so that amount was exceeded. Six local hotels also a major boon because of the championships, with more than 1,200 rooms occupied. “The tournament went really well,” said Riley Wiwchar, Hockey Canada’s manager of marketing services and events. He pointed out the great volunteer and community support the tournament received “We know the Langley Events Centre is a fantastic venue and was well showcased for people from all around the Lower Mainland and people that came from out of town,” Wiwchar added. Hockey Canada does a full review of every tournament

they host, listing all the pros and cons. It usually comes out two months after the event. As for future events coming to the LEC, Wiwchar said that could be a good possibility. “They would definitely be considered again for future events should they bid,” he said. “They showed they could put on a great event for the fans.” “From our standpoint, we want to attract the biggest and the best in terms of events, so we would definitely be interested in hosting any event that can bring together the community,” said Jared Harman, the director of business development for the Langley Events Centre.

The H.D. Stafford Skyhawks fell short in their quest for a second consecutive tier II provincial football championship. The Grade 8 team lost 6-0 in a hardfought defensive battle to the Holy Cross Crusaders on Saturday at UBC’s Thunderbird Stadium. The Crusaders scored the only touchdown of the game on a short run in the first half. The second half saw the rainy weather force both teams to abandon the passing attack and try to churn out yardage along the ground. The wet weather made for slippery conditions as both teams had problems holding on to the ball. Stafford’s last chance to tie the game came late but the team came up short on a fourth and short situation.

Spartans maintain top spot in Canada A pair of straight sets victories improved Trinity Western’s men’s volleyball team to 8-0 and keeps them atop the CIS national rankings. The Spartans made quick work of the visiting UBC Okanagan Heat over the weekend at the Langley Events Centre with the Heat only cracking 21 points in two of the six sets. Trinity Western won 3-0 (2516,25-11,25-21) and 3-0 (2513,25-21,25-19). Steven Marshall had nine kills while Rudy Verhoeff had eight to lead the team the first night, while Marc Howatson had eight

and Lucas Van Berkel had seven on the Saturday night. Ben Ball had a combined 53 set assists and Jarrod Offereins came up with 30 digs over the two matches. ••••• The Trinity Western Spartans women’s volleyball team also won a pair of straight-sets matches over the UBC Okanagan Heat, improving to 6-2 in league play and rising to ninth in the national rankings. The Spartans won 3-0 (2519,25-18,25-12) and 3-0 (2517,25-16, 25-15). Royal Richardson had a gamehigh 12 kills while Alicia Perrin

had nine kills and five blocks. Kelci French had 12 digs and six assists. The trio built on their strong games from the night before as French had five kills, four aces and eight digs, Richardson had nine kills and nine digs and Perrin had eight kills and five blocks. ••••• The Trinity Western Spartans women’s basketball team continues to impress, knocking off the fifth-ranked Alberta Pandas before falling short in their upset attempt against the sixth-ranked Saskatchewan Huskies over the weekend on the road.

On Friday night in Edmonton, the Spartans won their first game against Alberta in 20 tries, hanging on for a 66-65 victory. Holly Strom had 18 points and six rebounds while Laurelle Weigl had 14 points and four boards. A slow start in the first quarter — after a six-hour overnight road trip to Saskatoon — was too much for the Spartans as they trailed by 10 after one and lost 62-49 to the Saskatchewan Huskies. Weigl led the Spartans with 16 points and seven rebounds while Sarah Cleveland chipped in with 10 points and four

rebounds. The Spartans dropped to 3-5 in conference play. ••••• The Trinity Western Spartans men’s basketball team fell to 2-6 after a pair of road losses, 87-77 to the Alberta Golden Bears and 98-73 to the Saskatchewan Huskies. Kyle Coston led the team with 25 points and nine rebounds against Alberta, while Sean Peter had 18 and six and Kurtis Osborne came off the bench to chip in with 15 points. Peter had 24 points in the second game while Tristan Smith had 11.

Latrell Charleson scored both the tying goal and the winner in the final 3:24 as the Valley West Hawks rallied for a 5-4 win over the Kootenay Ice in B.C. Major Midget Hockey League action. Both Charleson’s goals came on the power play. The Hawks had led 3-0 after 20 minutes, with goals from Nick Coltura, Ram Brar and Danton Heinen, before the Ice struck back with three goals in the second and one more in the third. That game was at the Walnut Grove Sportsplex on Saturday and the Hawks made it two in a row with a 6-1 win on Sunday at Fleetwood Arena. Daniell Lange scored twice, while Heinen, Jordan Klimek, Rhett Willcox and Jerret Smith had the others. The Hawks (10-80) hit the road this weekend for a pair of games against the North Island Silvertips (6-10-2).

Spartans crack top 10 at nationals and soul out there,� said Spartans coach Dwayne Lowdermilk. “To only give up six goals given our scenario, I’d have to

say our guys battled hard.� In the team’s game against Eastern Washington, they trailed 3-0 after 40

minutes, but roared back with three goals to earn the single point. The Spartans fell to 3-7-2.

The Trinity Western cross country teams were wellrepresented at the Canadian national championships Saturday at Jericho Beach Park. Fiona Benson finished seventh and Blair Johnston finished eighth in their respective junior (under 20) divisions while Alison Jackson finished 31st in the senior women’s race and endurance coach Mark Bomba was crowned champion in the masters (over 40) division. Benson was the top junior runner in B.C. Also in attendance were runners from the Walnut Grove Gators cross-country team. Meg Harradine and Andrea Robinson were third and fourth, respectively, in the girls’ (13-19) 5 km race, while Sam Gillis was eighth, Danica Matson was 10th and Julie Matson was 11th. Megan Notting came 13th. In the boys’ (13-19) division, Walnut Grove’s Max Proske was sixth and Brandon Drake was seventh. Sean Burnett and Will Tsai were 11th and 13th, respectively. Another Walnut Grove runner, 17-yearold Ashley Windsor, competed up an age level, running in the junior women’s (18/19) division. Windsor placed 24th in the 5 km race. And in the boys’ 11-year-old 2 km race, Langley Mustangs’ Vaughn Taylor was second. ••••• The Trinity Western Spartans managed just a single point over the weekend in B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League action. The Spartans tied Eastern Washington 3-3 on Friday and then dropped a 6-1 decision to the Thompson Rivers WolfPack on Saturday. Both games were at the Langley Events Centre. The second result was not surprising as the team was down to 13 skaters because of a combination of injuries and suspensions. The team went with emergency call-up 16-year-old Nathan Wolfe in goal. “Our players gave their heart
