Rural dwellers to benefit from fire department accreditation

Female teacher goes to Human Resources Tribunal over email by district staffer

NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

An employee of the Langley School District has been accused of using racist language in an e-mail to a female teacher. A formal complaint by the B.C. Teachers Federation (BCTF) was filed with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal on behalf of the teacher in late November. At the same time, the Langley Teachers’ Federation (LTA) has taken the matter to a unionmanagement Gail arbitration hearing Chaddockthat will be held Costello separately from the tribunal. The incident allegedly occurred this spring when the employee, described by the LTA as a member of “management/ administration” at the district, sent the message to a female teacher described as a member of a visible minority. Details of the message were not immediately disclosed. LTA president Gail Chaddock-Costello said two separate complaints have been filed, one on behalf of the individual teacher and one on behalf of all teachers in the Langley school district.

Fort Langley resident Jack David plays with a barrel in the Cooperage at the Fort Langley National Historic Site while waiting for a reading of Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol” to begin. The one-year-old participated in many children’s activities held at the Fort on Saturday, Dec. 10 during the “Old-Fashioned Musical Christmas” celebrations.

In rural areas of Langley, the lack of fire hydrants poses a significant challenge for firefighters. It also means higher insurance costs for residences and businesses. Now, following a rigorous documentation and training process, the Township fire department has earned a Superior Tanker Shuttle Service Accreditation from the Fire Underwriters Survey (FUS). This accreditation proved that fire crews can not only quickly transport water to a remote rural area, but also maintain an effective supply as they fight fires in areas that do not have hydrants or are not close to a municipal water network. Residents within the recognized area can expect to save 30 to 40 per cent in the fire protection portion of their home insurance. The good news was to be delivered to Township council at its meeting last night (Monday). Pat Walker, the Township’s fire chief prevention officer in charge of fire prevention, told council that over the past two years, firefighters and other officials from the department have worked hard to achieve

Windsong says ‘no’ to Hydro Residents have turned away smart meter installers, and vow to continue to fight use of the devices in their development NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

A standoff that was looming between residents of WindSong Co-housing and B.C. Hydro has been averted — for now. Installers who arrived on Monday and Wednesday were politely turned away by residents of WindSong, a community of 34 townhomes nestled in six acres of forested land and gardens in Walnut Grove. The concern of the 100 WindSong residents is that smart meters emit electromagnetic radiation which will impact on their health.The health repercussions, they say, have been well documented, and homeowners in B.C. have not consented to smart meters being installed on their property. B.C. has hired Corix Utilities to replace old meters with the smart meters, and on Dec. 5, a Corix installer was redirected to another location when WindSong residents protested his presence there. After a phone call from Hydro, WindSong residents learned that interference with Hydro staff and the installation process could lead to their service being disconnected. “WindSong residents want Corix Utilities and BC Hydro to understand that no means no,” said WindSong resident Susan McFee. She said that WindSong strata council has sent letters to Hydro and Corix and posted refusal signs. “And we will tell them again in person that the community will not allow them to replace their analog meters with something that people are rejecting all over the province in growing numbers and all over the world,” McFee said. “If necessary, WindSong will give BC Hydro and Corix Utilities the name and address of the law-

yer working with Citizens For Safe Technology, who will talk to them if they want to pursue this matter further.” WindSong residents want to keep their analog meters until a future metering option is proven to be safe for families, and safe for their homes and pocketbooks too. Una St. Clair of the Langleybased Citizens for Safe Technology said that WindSong residents have every right to protect their democratic and human rights by refusing the wireless smart meters. “Reasonable people who take the time to review this massive Liberal boondoggle will find out very quickly that the Langley Township vote for a moratorium on July 25 is well founded for reasons of health, privacy, costs, security and safety,” St. Clair said. “Langley Township led the movement around the province to say ‘No’ to wireless smart meters,” she said, adding that to date 26 others have followed suit. She noted that at its September convention, the Union of BC Municipalities called for a moratorium on the meters. Premier Christy Clark and Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman, who is responsible for BC Hydro, told the UBCM mayors and council members that they would “ignore” their vote, a vote which represents the people of British Columbia, St. Clair said. A petition with more than 15,000 signatures was presented in the Legislature on Nov. 24. Thousands of residents across the province want the installation program halted. They also want the oversight for the $1 billion expenditure to go through the B.C. Utilities Commission review and public hearings. An Initiative Petition has been started, following the lines of the successful anti-HST petition. St. Clair said that the meters

Hydro’s plan to install smart meters in the complex and have posted signage throughout the building indicating they want no part of the project. are not CSA or UL approved, and are being installed by unlicensed people who are not electricians, which could void insurance if fires resulted from faulty installation. She said that fires and meter explosions have occurred, damaging houses and appliances. St. Clair added that despite the statements by Hydro that it is old wiring that is causing fires and explosions once the smart meters are installed, “qualified electricians are clearly explaining that fires are actually started by faulty installation of the meters themselves. But the people end up holding

the bag of problems, damaged homes without power, plus fried appliances and useless electrical equipment.” People across the country have seen their bills double and triple once the meters are installed, without any recourse. They are being told that their appliances must be using more power, or their old meter was faulty. St. Clair said that California is now removing smart meters and replacing them with analogues for people who have experienced health problems since installation, most commonly headaches, insomnia, dizziness, ringing in the ears, and heart problems.

Firefighter’s legacy lives on through Christmas Stocking The first-ever Ron Dunkley Christmas Stocking has been launched and sets out to share a bit of warmth and cheer with the less fortunate in our community this year. Food and other essentials donated to the Christmas Stocking fund will be distributed to the homeless in Langley and Aldergrove on Christmas Eve, said Carey Poitras, one of the organizers. “We are doing something different this year,” Poitras said, “making it our mission this Christmas season to bring some cheer and hope to those Ron that have little of Dunkley both.” Dunkley, a Langley City firefighter, died on Jan. 4 from injuries he suffered when he was dragged by a train in Seattle in November, 2010. He was a valued member of our Langley community and his daily life was devoted to help the people in the community, Poitras said. “As this project was created to assist those in need on Christmas Eve we have chosen this name. It’s a privilege to honour the life of Ron who is so greatly missed by family, friends and the community of Langley,” she said. Anyone who would like to give to the Ron Dunkley Christmas Stocking can drop off donations at Pastime Sports and Games, 20364 Fraser Hwy.

Small school, big hearts French school students raise 10 pounds each for the food bank DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

The lure of a homework- and testfree week helped motivate the 98 students at the small École des Voyageurs French language school in Langley’s Walnut Grove community to raising a record amount for the food bank this month. They collected 957 items weighing 914 lbs. during the annual school donation drive. “We may be tiny, but our school spirit is mighty,” administrator Marie Fraser said. “It just goes to prove that you don’t have to be a big major corporation to be able to help others at Christmas time — anyone can do it,

Lower Mainland Mounties say they will not reduce the number of roadside screenings this holiday season, despite a recent B.C. Supreme Court ruling which said the province’s most severe drinking and driving penalties infringe on people’s right to a fair trial.

‘We still don’t want people to drink and drive’ TRICIA LESLIE Black Press

Police are not going to reduce roadside CounterAttack checks, despite a recent court ruling. After a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled last week that the most severe of B.C.’s new impaired driving penalties infringe on people’s constitutional rights to a fair trial, Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond announced that police in the province won’t impose the toughest of the new roadside penalties until drivers are given a way to appeal the results of a failed breath test. But E Division RCMP Supt. Norm Gaumont said last week that little will change. “We will absolutely not be reducing CounterAttack roadside checks,” Gaumont said.“Nothing’s changed here. We still don’t want people to drink and drive. Let’s keep up the good work.” Gaumont said evidence shows that roadside prohibition is effective, noting police have seen a 50 per cent drop in alcohol-related deaths in the Lower Mainland, and are on par to finish 2011 with fewer than 100 alcohol-related fatalities — something he can’t

remember seeing in a long time, if ever. In 2005, there were 180 such deaths in Metro Vancouver alone, so seeing a major drop can only be good news, he said. “Now, we’re just back to where we were before the new laws came in. I don’t think (the drop in alcohol-related deaths) will change,” Gaumont said. In his ruling, Justice Jon Sigurdson said the increased penalties for blowing in the “warn” range of 0.05 to 0.08 per cent, are permissible. But drivers who blow in the “fail” range above 0.08 should have a chance to challenge the decision if their vehicles are impounded for 30 days and they face thousands of dollars in administrative penalties, Sigurdson said. Gaumont said the government has indicated it will be looking to amend the year-old impaired driving law and that the RCMP is looking forward to working with them as they review the judge’s decision and amend the new rules. In the meantime, police will revert to the old roadside impairment rules,which means impaired drivers can still face a 90-day

administrative driving prohibition and can still be charged criminally if they are driving while under the influence of alcohol. The newer penalties — which Sigurdson did not immediately strike down while he awaits submissions from the province and the driver challenging the new rules — are more strict, allowing police to give drivers with a blood alcohol reading in the “warn” range a three-day driving ban, a $200 administrative penalty and another $250 fee to have a driver’s licence reinstated. Cars can be impounded for three days, with owners billed for towing and storage. For roadside readings of 0.08 per cent or higher, police have been imposing a 90-day driving ban, a $500 fine and impounding the vehicle for 30 days. That suspension can cost a driver $3,750 for such things as towing, storage and a mandatory “responsible driver” course. Gaumont said he doesn’t want to see anyone killed by impaired drivers, whether the new rules stay in effect or not. “Make sure you have a safe way home and don’t drink and drive,” he said. – with files from Tom Fletcher

the required flow of 900 litres per minute within five minutes of the first fire truck arriving at the scene of a blaze and maintain that flow uninterrupted for two hours. On Nov. 22, the Township fire department undertook the first round of accreditation testing in south Langley. This involved 25 firefighters and 10 fire trucks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While our fire department had the capacity to effectively fight most fires even before achieving accreditation, the certification officially recognizes our competence and will result

in lower insurance premiums for many homeowners in our rural area,â&#x20AC;? Walker said. The Township has seven fire halls that serve six urban communities and a large rural area over 316 square kilometres. Walker said that to be accredited, the Township must be able to provide a â&#x20AC;&#x153;superior tanker shuttle serviceâ&#x20AC;? which is the equivalent to having the protection of a hydrant, and regularly practise delivering the service. Walker noted that residents pay more for fire protection insurance because insurers see it as a liability for those who do not live near fire hydrants or municipal water systems.

He added that it costs between $450,000 and $500,000 per kilometre to extend water services. Walker said that proving that the Township has the firefighters, resources, and training to handle fires in all areas of the community â&#x20AC;&#x153;became a real teambuilding experience for our crews.â&#x20AC;? He said that south Langley residents who are renewing their homeownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; insurance should ask their agents to verify if they live within the accredited area and are eligible for the reduced rate. Other rural areas will be tested for accreditation in the future, Walker said.

Aldergrove farmer issues cougar warning KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

Kurt LANGMANN/Black Press

Aldergrove hobby farmer Erik Jensen and some of his remaining chickens look over the tracks of what appears to be a cougar. Inset photo shows Jensen’s hand next to the track, which shows the characteristic “leading toe” and heel pad, and lack of visible claws due to the ability to retract their claws when walking.

A south Aldergrove hobby farmer wants rural residents to know that a cougar has been prowling here recently. Erik Jensen came home from work last Thursday to find his chicken coop had been raided, with only about 10 of his 40 Rhode Island reds left alive. The other 30 birds had either been mauled or had died of shock and terror. Jensen initially suspected that a roaming dog was the culprit but after researching the tracks left behind in the mud and sand he determined that they were those of an adult cougar. The tracks show all the characteristics of a cougar’s tracks, including the four toes with a “leading toe” and a

heel pad, and lack of visible claws due to their unique ability to retract their claws when walking. Jensen found the tracks all around the chicken pen, which showed that the large cat had paced the entire pen before it found a weak spot where it was able to push its way under the heavy chain-link fencing. The cat had tried to dig its way under the fence but was stopped by a concrete pad that lines the pen. He also found the cat’s tracks in a sand pile used by his grandchildren, as well as in the sand underneath a playhouse he had built for the kids on his property. Jensen was disturbed by that aspect: “I can understand why it would go for the chickens but why did it browse around where my grandchildren play when they visit?”

Cougars are a relatively rare visitor to this part of the Fraser Valley and are territorial predators. The solitary, reclusive cougar infrequently attacks humans but there have been cases of such attacks. Wildlife ecology professor Paul Beier’s research shows that children are at greatest risk of attack, and least likely to survive an encounter. Detailed research into attacks prior to 1991 showed that 64 per cent of all victims – and almost all fatalities – were children. The same study showed the highest proportion of attacks to have occurred in British Columbia, particularly on Vancouver Island where cougar populations are especially dense. For this reason Jensen wants locals to be aware that this cougar may still be in the area.

NDP on a roll

Hockey contributions recognized

he BC NDP is on a roll. The party is comfortably ahead of the BC Liberals in the polls, and it was in a celebratory mood as it marked its 50th anniversary over the weekend. Unlike many parties where a former leader has quit as a result of backroom squabbles, the decision a year ago of former leader Carole James to quit opened the door to revitalization of the party. James has remained part of the provincial NDP team and plans to run in the next election. Her positive response to a difficult situation showed that the party has matured a great deal, and this has been a boon to the party at a time when the Liberals have major challenges. New party leader Adrian Dix has been firmly in command of the party since taking over in April, and as much as is possible within any caucus, the party appears to be united and focused on winning the next election, which is a very real possibility. The NDP have had help, of course. The emergence of the BC Conservatives under a seasoned political pro, John Cummins, has drained support from the Liberals and made it quite likely that the NDP will benefit in the next election. People who won’t vote NDP but are fed up with the Liberals now have an alternative. With the very real possibility of an NDP government, the party will have to start answering some questions. While a detailed party platform won’t be released any time soon, it needs to come out long before the next election campaign, which will begin in April, 2013. B.C. residents need to know where the party stands on a wide variety of issues, from job creation to taxes. One of the most important issues that the NDP must take a stance on is public sector union contracts. The party is deeply connected to organized labour, which is increasingly dominated by public sector unions. These unions and their members have it pretty good. Most enjoy wages above the private sector level. They have indexed, taxpayer-supported defined benefit pensions, and the likelihood of layoff due to economic conditions is low. They need to accept their privileged position and not ask for wage or benefit increases until the economy improves. Many taxpayers are hurting and are unable to absorb higher costs. The NDP must signal its ability to be a government free of union domination.

t’s nice to see the B.C. Hockey League recognize the success and spotlight the Vernon Vipers have brought to the league. The BCHL has wholly endorsed the City of Vernon’s bid to host the 2014 Royal Bank Cup Canadian championship tournament in May of that year at the Wesbild Centre. And, really, this was a no-brainer for the BCHL, which last played host to the national finals in 2009, hosted that year by the Victoria Grizzlies and won by the Vipers, the first of what would be back-to-back national championships. The Vipers won it again in 2010 in Dauphin, Man., their fourth RBC championship and sixth Canadian Junior A championship, the most of any such franchise in the country. A third straight, fifth overall RBC cup and seventh national title nearly came to fruition this spring in Camrose, Alta., when the Vipers lost the gold medal game, 2-0, to the Pembroke (Ont.) Lumber Kings. So, take those three straight appearances in the national tournament’s final game, two wins, six titles overall and a great facility in the Wesbild Centre, along with a terrific fan base, and it only makes sense that the BCHL would endorse Vernon’s bid to put on the event again. It’s been a long 21 years since Vernon played host to the Canadian finals tournament. It was known as the Centennial Cup back then, and the local hockey squad was known as the Lakers. Vernon beat the New Westminster Royals 6-5 in overtime in the final before an overflowing crowd at the Civic Arena, the first of the six national titles. The city is long overdue to host Junior A hockey in May. —Vernon Morning Star (Black Press)

Stories from the kettle Editor: The newspaper story said the Salvation Army kettle fund was short of 300 people. This old body of mine is still capable of standing a couple of hours for a few days, so I volunteered. The experience has shown me the kindness of many people. So far, I’ve spent a few hours at the B.C. government liquor store location and a couple of hours in the mall. If my short time is a fair indication, the booze buyers win hands down, as far as generosity is concerned. Few passed without a smile, a word of encouragement and, more importantly, a generous stuffing of bills or coins into the kettle’s slot. Another act of kindness happened on Friday. A little old lady locked her keys in her car. A couple buying their Christmas cheer immediately volunteered their services, as did one of the liquor store employees, who produced a wire coat hanger for use in the operation to retrieve her keys. The sunshine was also a bonus, as were the kind people who gave in support of the Sally Ann. More volunteers are needed for kettle duty, by the way. There was nobody to relieve me when I finished my shift at noon. The kettle organizer’s phone number is (604) 514-7375 Mike Harvey, Langley

Open up donor pool Editor: The fact that women can give life by giving birth, and the medical community can save lives through various kinds of operations, are considered gifts of life but I’m looking at the gift of life from another angle. When was the last time you donated blood? Blood is most definitely a gift of life. Hospitals, doctors, and other medical practices would be lost without it. More than one million people each year are diagnosed with cancer, and most will need a blood transfusion. About one in seven people entering hospitals are needing that precious ingredient. It is important that every ethnic group participate in giving blood, and one does not need to be afraid. It’s safe, after all you get treats afterwards, and anyone over the age of 16 can do it. Did you know that around 3.6 per cent of Canadians donate blood each year and around

43,000 pints of blood are collected in the U.S. and Canada? According to Statistics Canada, in 2005-06, 232,800 adults were incarcerated in Canada. I understand that there would be a degree of tainted blood because of in-house habits, but there are many prisoners who are clean and healthy. For whatever reason, these people are denied probably one of the most important and gratifying gifts anyone could give. The gift of life is what we call blood. By giving it, you give life. It is our privilege to give (those of us on the outside), why not open it up to those on the inside? Consider writing our MPs to consider a change in policy, to allow healthy prisoners to donate blood. Ken Hinton, Langley

‘I don’t feel excitement’

Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times

Kelsey Eliason, project co-ordinator for the Salvation Army kettle campaign, demonstrates that donations can be made using by debit cards, as well as cash.

Editor: Re: Jim McGregor’s column, “Stop to remember the excitement,” (The Times, Dec. 1). I don’t feel any excitement about Christmas, because in my home country, we don’t really celebrate Christmas. But we did put on the lights and that was six years ago. It actually depends on what kind of family you are in, some families don’t even care about it. I knew there was no Santa when I was small. I heard the story of Santa, but he did not exist and that’s what my friends told me.

When I came to Canada three years ago, streets were colourful and beautiful. Snow fell down from the sky; it melted when it touched my skin.“I love Christmas” was all I could say. The sadness is when I got back to school, and my teacher asked me “How did you celebrate your Christmas?” I said nothing, because we didn’t really celebrate it. Now, I am a teenager, and I don’t feel any excitement. I don’t need gifts, but I do feel excited for the Christmas break. Tiffany Chen, Surrey

No one was willing to take up the cause of internees from PAGE 8

My grandfather was an air raid warden in White Rock at that time. He and others patrolled the streets to ensure that there was no light showing anywhere, and no potential target for any enemies. The Japanese-Canadians were rounded up, with many taken to the PNE grounds and kept in livestock barns. They were moved to internment camps in the B.C. interior and as far away as Ontario. Those who owned land, cars, stocks and bonds, The

boats and farm equipment saw them sold for a fraction of their true value. They had almost no say in any of this. No one took up their cause, including the CCF, which up to the time of Pearl Harbour had been quite sympathetic to Japanese-Canadians. Parents of a friend of mine in Ontario were among those who were forcibly moved from the coast. They moved to Ontario and never returned. A few did come back after the war, but in almost every case, all they had worked for in the 1920s and 1930s was gone.

For those wishing to find out more about how Canada treated its own citizens of Japanese ancestry, there is no better place to get a firsthand look at what they endured than the Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre, located in New Denver in the West Kootenay. It is the only internment camp still standing. It brings to life that sad chapter in Canadian history, and it is well worth a visit. Anyone who visits it will not come out of the experience unchanged. See www.pc.gc. ca/culture/ppa-ahp/itm1-/page03_e.asp for more details.

More than 40 years after the fact, Canada finally apologized for the atrocious treatment it had bestowed on its own citizens. It was too late to do any good for many, but it was both necessary and appropriate. Some people will say that such a thing would never happen again, as we now have a Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Perhaps. But never underestimate the depth of hatred and ill-will which can be fanned during a time of crisis, and do not underestimate the willingness of many politicians to capitalize on it.

Cycling event expected to draw 1,500 riders MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

This July, the back roads of Langley will be jammed with traffic but not the vehicle kind. Thousands of cyclists will take to the pavement in a new premier cycling event that will wind through Langley and Abbotsford. The Prospera Valley GranFondo is the first mass cycling event of its kind in the Fraser

Valley. Fort Langley will play host to the event on July 22 providing food and entertainment throughout the day. Organized by notfor-profit association Canadian Velo Event Management Society and Prospera Credit Union, half of the proceeds will be donated to Special Olympics B.C. to provide sports programs for those with disabilities. “The goal, first and

NATIONAL LACROSSE LEAGUE RETURN TO METRO VANCOUVER A HIT The National Lacrosse League (NLL) ¿nally made its return to the province of British Columbia Saturday night as the Toronto Rock and Washington Stealth went toe-to-toe in a pre-season game that had midseason Àair at the Langley Events Centre. In front of 4,791 fans (largest ever at the Langley Events Centre) the last two NLL championship teams went back and forth with highlight reel goals and end to end action. Washington jumped out to an early 3-1 lead to start the game however the Rock, with consecutive goals from Blaine Manning and Stephan Leblanc, went to the quarter break up 4-3. The second quarter started much like the ¿rst with the Stealth striking early to knot things up. That is when the real fun started as lacrosse legend, and Rock forward, Colin Doyle scored a highlight reel goal from his knees. Not long after, the Rock added another, this time from Kasey Beirnes who capitalized on a smooth 70 foot bounce pass from Langley native Garrett Billings that brought the crowd to their feet. Just when fans thought as

Lacrosse Legend Colin Doyle works the corner of the LEC Turf in front of a sold out arena. The Stealth would go on to defeat the Rock 14-13 in overtime. Dan Brodie Photography

though Toronto had pulled it out, the Stealth roared back with three straight goals to tie things up at 13 - 13 off the stick of Rhys Duch forcing overtime with just a few seconds left in the game. It did not take long from there as 31 seconds in, Lewis Ratcliff of the Stealth spun and ripped a shot that beat Rock goalie Matt Roik giving Washington a 14-13 victory in front of an excited LEC crowd of lacrosse faithful. The game marked a homecoming of sorts for Billings who was playing for the ¿rst time in the Langley Events Centre since his last season with the Langley Thunder

of the Western Lacrosse Association in 2010. “It was unbelievable to come home and see the LEC sold out,” Billings has worked hard to grow the game in Langley, working with Langley Minor Lacrosse in recent years, “the facility was a great host and I think the number of fans shows just how much people love lacrosse and support the game in this community.” Also in attendance was National Lacrosse League Commissioner, George Daniel who noted that having a team in Vancouver in the near future is a priority for the league, “There are not many places I

have seen that could sell out a preseason game,” Daniel was asked about the viability of a possible team at the LEC in the future during a halftime interview with TEAM Radio host Teddy Jenner. The weekend also had strong support from the BC Lacrosse Association which helped spread the word of the game and whose players and coaches took part in two clinics. Friday night, coaches from around British Columbia were invited to the facility for a Coaches Chalk Talk featuring presentations from the NLL coaches themselves. Saturday, there were two player clinics for kids ages 6 - 16 hosted by players from all four rosters. The facility was also host to the Calgary Roughnecks and Colorado Mammoth over the weekend. The two teams took advantage of the turf that was in place for the game and hosted a portion of their respective training camps throughout Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That included a scrimmage which was open to the public Sunday morning which was won by Calgary, 12 -10.

RIVERMEN TEDDY BEAR TOSS The Langley Rivermen are set to wrap up their pre-Christmas schedule with two of the most exciting events of the year. On Friday night the Rivermen host the Powell River Kings at the Langley Events Centre, game time is 7pm. Although the game has great meaning on the standings as the local team continues their climb towards the playoffs, the big picture has the team collecting food for a great cause and during a time of great need. The Rivermen are asking fans to bring non-perishable food items to the facility to be collected and donated to the Langley Food Bank. This is a great chance to bring your family out and start giving in the spirit of the holiday season to help those who are less fortunate. The following night, the club will continue with that giving spirit with their

First Annual Teddy Bear Toss. The teddy bear toss has become a junior hockey tradition and Langley has always been extremely supportive, donating thousands of bears over the past ¿ve years to charities such as the Salvation Army, Langley Memorial Hospital and those who are unable to get out during the holiday season. Fans are asked to bring soft toys, stuffed animals and the like to throw onto the ice when the Rivermen score their ¿rst goal. The items will be collected and the Rivermen will donate those items to Langley Memorial Hospital to sick children and adults who are looking for some Christmas cheer during a dif¿cult time. Tickets for both games are still available, please contact the Rivermen at 604455-8832 for more information or to purchase online visit www.ticketmaster.ca

The inaugural Prospera Valley GranFondo taking place in Fort Langley on July 22 will have three different routes for riders of all abilities. a focus on celebrating the sport and enjoying the scenery of the Fraser Valley. “What makes it unique is the fact that it has a little bit of something for everyone,” Lacny said. “We have a FamilyFondo for children. There is a 160 km GranFondo which will appeal to the more hardcore road cyclists, and there’s a MedioFondo, which at 80 km is an attainable goal for those who are just entering the world of road cycling. It gives them a target and something to look forward to and to build towards.” The majority of the ride follows quiet country roads winding through flat prairie areas, up Sumas Mountain and along the Fraser River valley. The event route is meant to capture the experience of a traditional European GranFondo. The 160 km GranFondo route starts in Fort Langley and heads out along southern country roads to 0 Avenue, where it continues through Arnold, along the Sumas Prairie, and over Sumas Mountain in Abbotsford. Riders then head back to Fort Langley through the Matsqui flats and Glen Valley. This route is for cyclists 19 and older. The 80 km MedioFondo is designed for novice riders, and goes from Fort Langley, south to 0 Avenue, through Bradner and Glen Valley back to Fort Langley. This route is for cyclists age 16 and older looking for a GranFondo introductory run.

The 3 km FamilyFondo is a scenic route for kids and parents to ride. Winding throughout Fort Langley, the route is entirely on flat ground and does not mix with traffic. There will be an aid station set up at the 1.5 km point with refreshments and a rest station. This route is for kids ages 8-12 and their guardians. “The Fraser Valley is probably one of the worst kept secrets as being one of the best cycling areas in B.C., if not Canada,” Lacny said. “You will actually see cyclists from Vancouver who drive out to the Fraser Valley on the weekends in order to ride on the incredible road systems that we have out here.” Beginning at the 7 a.m. kickoff of event, entertainment and festivities will take place throughout the day at the Fort Langley National Historic Site. Cyclists will also receive a special First Nations feast after they complete their route. Organizers say the event will draw participants from the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, BC Interior, and even Alberta and Washington State. Registration for all three legs of the event are now open at www. valleygranfondo.com. Only 1,500 spots are available, and Lacny anticipates the event will sell out quickly. Volunteer opportunities are also available at the website. For more, visit the “2012 Prospera Valley GranFondo, MedioFondo, and FamilyFondo” Facebook page or follow them on Twitter @ ValleyGranFondo.

The father of a Langley man shot and killed by an RCMP officer says the case should be investigated by the newly-created Independent Investigations Office (IIO) police oversight agency. Al Wright, whose 22-year-old son Alvin Wright died from a police-inflicted gunshot in August of 2010, issued an open letter to the just-appointed head of the IIO, Richard Rosenthal, saying the agency should rethink

its refusal to investigate so-called “historical” incidents that occur before the agency begins operating. “This is unacceptable,” Wright said. “In other words, you are saying that we will have to wait for another person to be killed or sexually assaulted by the police before you will begin work.” Wright began speaking out after a review by the Vancouver Police Department decided there was no grounds for criminal charges in the Lang-

In keeping with its long-established tradition, St. Joseph’s Church will offer a full Christmas dinner on Dec. 25 for anyone who is in need, and for seniors and others who would otherwise spend the day alone. The meal is free and will be served in the church hall, 20676 Fraser Hwy. Doors open at 4 p.m. for drinks and socializing, and dinner will be served an hour later. To arrange free transportation, call (604) 5343303.

Dairy Queen provides free dinner Dec. 21 The French family, owners of the Langley City Dairy Queen, located at 20300 Fraser Highway, will be serving something a little different than burgers and ice cream treats on Wednesday, Dec. 21. Gordon and Cindy French plan to serve another full course Christmas dinner this year. They will be serving up a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings. There will be a Christmas tree and gifts for all the kids, young and old. In 2010, the family decided to do something special for the people who are alone, homeless and under privileged. And with the help of family and staff members who volunteered their time, the restaurant welcomed over 150 people. “Christmas is supposed to be the most joyous season of the year, but often it is the saddest for a lot of people. We wanted to change that. Everyone is welcome and no one is judged,” said Cindy French. The food is provided by community donors and is cooked off the premise by friends, family and volunteers, who prepare it the day before. The dinner takes place from 5 to 9 p.m. If you would like to help or attend the dinner, call the Langley Dairy Queen at 604-534-2321.

Otter Co-op Celebrates

GRAND OPENING AT GLEN MOUNTAIN

BELINDA SHARPE RETIRES AFTER THIRTY-THREE YEARS Belinda Sharpe recently retired after over thirty-three years in the Administration Office. Belinda has witnessed, as well as been a part of many changes during her time with Otter Co-op. When she started at what we refer to as “the old store” it was known as Otter District Farmers Institute. In June of 1979 we officially became a Co-op. One of Belinda’s first jobs was printing, folding and addressing the flyers. This was all done on the second floor of the Feedmill. Belinda remembers the raw fingers by the end of each mailing as the bundles were tied with binder twine. Things only improved from there. After learning

Belinda Sharpe

many numerous jobs Belinda eventually earned the position of Ofﬁce Manager, where she worked until her retirement at the end of September. Belinda was very popular at Otter not just because she made sure everyone got their pay

every two weeks, but also because after thirty-three plus years, her warm, welcoming personality and fun loving attitude has deﬁnitely been a part of what keeps the sense of family at Otter Co-op alive. Belinda and her husband Dave have chosen Lumby, B.C. as the place to start their retirement. As much as Belinda will be missed at Otter Co-op, you can’t help but be excited for them when you see how happy they are in their new home. From everyone at Otter Co-op we wish Belinda and her husband Dave, a long and happy retirement!

We are very excited to have been able to celebrate not one but two Grand Openings in Abbotsford. On Friday, November 4 and Saturday, November 5, Otter Co-op celebrated the Grand Openings of a Pharmacy and a Produce/ Convenience store both in the McMillan area of Abbotsford. We are so happy to have been able to expand our business into Abbotsford in an effort to better serve our customers in the surrounding areas. Thank you to everyone that stopped by to visit

our new locations during our celebrations. There were lots of prizes, great specials, Cooper our store mascot (who even did a little break dancing with some Yale Secondary students) and a hotdog sale by donation.

Come and check out these two new locations at 2596 McMillan Road (Pharmacy) and 2618 McMillan Road (Produce/C-Store) in Abbotsford. We hope to see you soon!

NEWS Brittany Bergevin 2011-2012 Director

VOICE OF director It is hard to believe that only a short four and a half years have passed since I handed my reins off as the Junior Director and ventured into the life of a university student. I am happy to say that I have completed a Bachelor’s degree of Criminology at Simon Fraser University and I am again faced with entering a world that I am unfamiliar with, a world that my friends and family call the ‘real world’. While this real world is calling my name

it is hard not to look back over my career as a student, and it was a full time position, and reminisce about this part of my life that has come to a close. Eleven semesters, thirty ﬁve classes and one hundred and twenty two credits later I have ended an era in my life that was overﬂowing with learning, growing, and an appreciation for knowledge. I was fortunate enough to experience the Junior Director program at the Otter Co-op which is a learning experience for youth like no other. When I look back now at past Junior Directors whom I have come to know as my role from Junior Director shifted into a role as a Board Member, one element remains constant — a Junior Director at the Otter Co-op is someone who retains a desire to learn long past their term with the Co-op and far into university degrees across the lower mainland, Canada, and North America. I can say proudly that the Co-op has helped develop me into the person I am today and I am sure that it can be attributed to some of the success we have seen in past Junior Directors who

are now well on their way in reaching the ‘real world’. During my last semester of university I participated in a class that allowed students to gain valuable work experience in their field of study while gaining credits toward a degree. While this program gives some students the upper hand in that they receive essential experience in a field that is difficult to enter without experience, I find the Junior Director program with Otter Co-op very similar. I was told by my work supervisor that my resume stood out amongst the lot because I had something unique. My experience with the Co-op is something that no one my age should have. It is this experience the Otter Co-op provides for youth. The uniqueness of what is garnered through the Junior Director is unquestionable and I am proud and grateful for the start I feel this program gave me. While I again enter a world of unknowns I do know that wherever this new world takes me, the Co-op will remain a constant in my life.

generation barriers and solutions which I can apply to increase my impact on the board, as well as spread the word of the Otter Co-op to the different generations, a job I take seriously with the title I hold.

Tanner Graham 2011-2012 Junior Director

VOICE OF Otter’s student representative My second d quarter as the h O Otter C Co-op’s ’ Junior Director has grown immensely in excitement. The pace in which I serve has picked up much more than I had expected it to, while my interest has grown in parallel. The goals of the Co-op I have come to accept as my own and the standards of the organization have become a source of pride over the past months. The highlight of this term is most definitely the Board trip to Calgary. As we waited groggy eyed and coffee deprived at the airport, my eagerness to attend the Federated Co-operatives Limited Fall Conference was anything but evident. But deep beneath my bedlonging body my mind was itching for what would be my first ever business trip. Soon enough we were into the first day of the conference. First on the agenda was taking a class titled “The MultiGenerational Dynamic”. Soon, questions were being thrown toward me from my group, as well as the instructor whenever it came time to discuss Generation Y, as I was the only one that held that generation title. This seminar proved to be very useful for me. I gained crucial understanding of

The rest of the day brought some flexibility to the agenda. I was granted time to spend some informal socialization with the other Otter directors. This gave me the chance to catch up on some key points about Federated Co-operatives Limited as a whole and the role in which each individual co-operative holds in the greater organization, not to mention some time to get to know and grow closer to my set of mentors. The evening banquet of the conference expanded in formality and size in comparison to the previous activities of the day. Soon after my dress shirt had come on, I was surrounded by many different directors. From the base which had been laid out for me previously, my perception of the organization grew with each face I talked to. Once again I was bombarded with questions of my position which I gladly responded to. Each director shared a distinct passion toward the Co-op, providing new inspiration and pride in every sentence they spoke. The second and last day of the Conference brought the meeting portion. I was blown away by the level of democracy portrayed and the organized manner in which it went on. Furthermore, the passion that each speaker displayed on various topics assured me of a perfect balance of a strong democratic grasp while everyone who had a voice was heard. As the conference drew to a close, I was left with a swarming mind, eager to take back all that I had learned. We piled onto the bus as the snow whipped across our faces; that was all the confirmation I needed that it was time to fly back to Langley.

What we do We provide around-the-clock, nursing care in NEW and beautiful residential surroundings.

Barbering is a very old industry. It even predates ‘hair dressers’ by a few hundred years. Beginning with the ancient civilizations of Greece, Rome, and Egypt, barber shops have historically been a place where men visited for not only a shave and a haircut, but to gather for some friendly talk. The barber chair on display in the centre of Rocco Hair Design indicates that this hair salon could be primarily a barber.

However this isn’t entirely the case explains owner Marcella Krall. “We are a unisex salon and are open to all clients regardless of gender. The barber chair is there for our clients who come in for a straight razor facial shave. The barber chair reclines and the stylist chairs don’t, it’s as simple as that,” she said. Rocco Hair Design is located next to Zellers at Willowbrook Shopping Centre and is a really friendly hair salon. Although its clientele is predominantly male the salon offers full services to women as well. Each of the six outgoing staff members are trained to do a wide range of hair cuts and styles for both men and women. Owner Marcella Krall’s background is in barbering and with over 30 years experience. she does all the in-store training. Each of her stylists are trained to do some form of barbering techniques. For example each of her staff have been trained to do a “fade.” A fade is a men’s haircut that is very short on the bottom and progressively gets longer towards the top of the head.

Langley Times

Read local This holiday season, consider putting a book by a Langley author under the tree

angley’s authors have been hard at once again this year, turning out works of fact and fiction in a range of genres and styles that makes it easy to find something for every reader on your list.

THE VIOLET FLASH

For the junior bookworm, a terrific choice is The Violet Flash, by Mike Mason. Released last summer, the second installment in Mason’s fantasy series about the adventures a group of children who live in the town of Five Corners, picks up where The Blue Umbrella left off. The Violet Flash follows Ches Cholmondeley, whose sister Chelsea disappears — literally in a flash — just as strange things begin happening all around the globe. Mason, who makes his home in Murrayville, uses some of the familiar heritage buildings at Five Corners as locations in his novels. Both The Violet Flash and The Blue Umbrella are available for purchase at chapters.indigo.ca and amazon.com.

RANDOM ACTS OF VANDALISM

If you know a slightly older reader who prefers a bit more edge, consider Random Acts of Vandalism by Patrick Blennerhassett. A one-time Langley resident who now calls Kamloops home, Blennerhassett’s gritty style is not for delicate sensibilities. He offers an unvarnished look at what life in Canada can be like for a modern 20-something male. A follow-up to his first novel, Monument,

released in 2008, Random Acts of Vandalism tells four stories — those of a novelist, a journalist, an academic and an addict — gradually weaving them together to a final twist. Here’s how the book jacket sums it up: “A rookie novelist faces infamy and fortune when a young boy mimics the suicidal protagonist in his book. After close to five years covering trials, a court reporter suddenly finds his life entangled with the outcome of a manslaughter case. A fourth-year English major and rugby star wrestles with a growing disdain for academia as his mother succumbs to cancer. And rocked by the death of his best friend, a high school student stumbles into apathy and addiction while trying to make his way in the real world. Four stories. Four lives. One path. One end.” Released by Now or Never Publishing, Random Acts of Vandalism is available at chapters.indigo.ca, AbeBooks.com, amazon. ca and at Barnes & Noble.

CAMPIE

The true life experiences of a woman who’s lost nearly everything and heads north to find work at an oil-rig camp form the basis of Barbara Stewart’s memoir, Campie. For $100 a day in 2003, Stewart mopped floors, cleaned bathrooms, did laundry, picked up after rig workers and hauled garbage to the camp’s incinerator, where she would spend a few precious moments of solitude under the stars. Having found herself bankrupt and homeless, Stewart does her best to keep her head down and just earn her paycheque, despite the uneasy and sometimes indeterminate relationships

among the employees at the small camp in the middle of nowhere. Campie is available at amazon.ca and at Chapters stores. For a full interview with Stewart, see next Tuesday’s Langley Times.

the Second World War, when a German prisoner of war camp is established nearby. Cooper and the Queen is available in e-book or paper back from Amazon and Chapters.

COOPER AND THE QUEEN

MONKS WITHOUT A CHURCH

For those who like to find their thrills between the covers of a book, Fort Langley author Don Hunter offers Cooper and the Queen. Set in 1983, the novel focuses on Matt Cooper, a Canadian cop who has been slightly off his game since the death of his wife. When the Queen and Prince Phillip visit Vancouver as part of their world tour, Cooper is pegged to head up city’s emergency response team. But when the ‘Troubles’ in Ireland spill over to Canada and the her majesty becomes a sitting target, Cooper is reassigned to protect the head of the monarchy at all costs. It wasn’t like he expected to fall in love in the process. The cover art, a queen of hearts playing card and a handgun pointed directly at the reader, James Bond style, says it all. Hunter most recently published a book titled Incident at Willow Creek, about what happens to a small Prairie town during

Aldergrove author Stephen L. Garrett offers two non-fiction volumes for “regular guys” in search of personal and spiritual growth. The first is tited Men, Read This: A Spiritual Guide for the Regular Guy. The second is called Monks Without a Church: Life Beyond Religion. They are available for $24.95 each at www.warriorsage.com.

Langley writers have produced works in a range of genres this year, from junior fiction, to something for the more mature reader. There are memoirs, thrillers and self help books in the mix as well.

Food memories shared over lunch from PAGE 22

Appropriately, the idea for the book began over a meal, explained Meals on Wheels executive assistant Cheryl Wheaton. A group of seniors taking part in the Walnut Grove Food and Friends program, which is one of six operated by Langley Meals on Wheels, found they spent much of their time sharing memories of meals long past as they sat and enjoyed a monthly lunch of soup and a sandwich. About a year ago, they cooked up the idea of recording those memories and binding them in a book. Armed with grants from New Horizons for Seniors and Langley Literacy now, 12 volunteers were sent out to interview local seniors and returned with recorded tales that were transcribed, edited and put into print. The smell of fresh baked bread wafting through the house and memories of Sunday dinners of roast beef and chicken were what some best recalled,

said Wheaton. For another person, she said, the book project brought back memories of spartan meals of potato soup when times were tight. Others recalled being taught proper table manners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a wide variety, but most reminisced about childhood experiences with food,â&#x20AC;? Wheaton said. The research had an another, less intentional, benefit, she noted. Some of the seniors interviewed were housebound, and welcomed the opportunity to just sit and visit for a while with the volunteers. With a foreword by Langley historian and author Warren Sommer, the books will be available for $20 each on Dec. 19. In order to have them under the tree in time for Christmas, people are encouraged to pre-order them through Meals on Wheels. Proceeds from sales will go to support Meals on Wheels programs. Call 604-533-1679 to pre-order a copy of the book.

Langley Times, the province of British Columbia has now unveiled a rebate program for purchasers of electric cars, ranging from $2,500 to $5,000. Of course, such vehicles retail for much higher prices than gas-only alternatives and the infrastructure to support electric car charging is quite skeletal at the moment. Still, if the mass production economics promoted by Henry Ford come into play, who knows? Certainly it will be interesting to see if the emerging powerhouse Chinese economy takes the wheel on this one. If that happens, I’m sure we’ll all feel the acceleration.

Walter’s feeling the Heat GARY AHUJA Times Sports

hen an NHL player stands behind the bench as your minor hockey coach, people may assume the coach’s son would feel pressure to live up any expectations others may place on them. For Ben Walter, that was never the case. “I didn’t pay attention to that, I was just having fun playing hockey,” Walter admits. “In minor and junior hockey, I know guys would say (to him) ‘how come you are not as good as your dad?’” said former NHLer Ryan Walter. “There were all those negative things. I am sure it bothered him but it didn’t seem to dissuade him at all.” “Part of the maturation process of a professional hockey player is the mental toughness side,” he added. “It was probably a disadvantage when he was in minor hockey — you don’t want your kids to go through that — (but) on the other hand, when they go through that, they learn a lot.” And even if there were drawbacks to having your father — Ryan Walter played more than a 1,000 NHL games with Washington, Montreal and Vancouver, winning a Stanley Cup with the Canadiens — as your minor hockey coach, it was well worth any hassle it may have caused. “I think the pros definitely outweigh the cons, anyways,” the younger Walter said. From an early age, Walter was hooked on hockey. “As long as I can remember, I have always had a passion for hockey,” he explained. “So to be able to do it for my job, it is a lot of fun. “I can’t imagine doing anything else.” It was at the junior A level when Walter got his first inkling that hockey could be a career. “During those years, it kind of dawned on my that maybe this was something I might be able to do,” he explained. “It was always a dream and I could always picture myself playing pro hockey.” After a solid rookie season in the BCHL with the Langley Hornets — he had 30 points in 50 games as a 16-year-old — Walter had a sensational sophomore season, leading the team in assists (47) and points (76) while scoring 29 goals in 52 games. His play landed him a scholarship to UMass Lowell where he amassed 49 goals and 90 points in 107 games over

teammates — strives to play in the NHL, he bides his time, waiting for another shot. “People always say the hardest part is sticking (in the NHL),” he said. “You just have to stick with it and stay hungry and work to get back there.” Having the right outlook is essential. “At the end of the day, you still get to play hockey for a living, which is great, but you still have to have that drive to try and get better,” Walter said. Last season, Walter captained Lake Erie for the second half of the year, a new experience for him. “I enjoyed it, it was certainly something new, especially at the pro level,” he said. While some leaders are the type who may deliver a fiery locker room tirade to rally the

team, that is not his nature. “I am not the kind of guy who is going to stand up and make speeches all the time; I am the kind of guy who is going to lead by example and say something once in awhile and hope that it means something.” Walter marvels at his father’s public speaking skills — the elder Walter is renowned motivational speaker and author — something he admits he lacks. “I have always been kind of nervous when I have to speak in front of people,” Walter said. Instead, Walter lets his actions on the ice do the talking. “I have always tried to keep an even keel on the ice,” he said. “That is my personality off the ice as well, so I think it just transfers over. “The biggest thing is just leading by example; you don’t want to say too much or try to be an ‘in-your-face’ guy.” Heat head coach Troy Ward called Walter “a quiet guy who leads with his stick.” “He is a calming influence who has great poise with the puck and makes the players around him better,” he said. “A great demeanor: never too high and never too low.” And while some players may develop a negative attitude for what they may perceive as not getting their shot, Walter remains the consummate pro. “He understands the business,” Ward said. “He just keeps plugging away. He knows if he keeps working, he is going to get his chance.” Mental toughness is essential. “Part of the process of the maturation process of a professional hockey player is the mental toughness side,” Ryan Walter said. While no parent wants to see unnecessary pressure on their child, he feels what Ben went through in minor and junior hockey taught his son a lot. Even though they are competing to catch the attention of the Flames and earn a call-up, as one of the Heat’s elder statesmen — Walter is 27, the fifth eldest on the team — he takes pride in showing the younger guys how to be a pro. “You have to look at it like you are the example, you have to show them the way to be a pro, how to conduct yourself on and off the ice,” Walter said. “I looked up to the older guys (when I came into the league) trying to see what they were doing. “Off the ice is the biggest challenge for any young pro hockey player; you learn along the way and try to pass that on as you get older.”

Pughe pots hat trick in victory Pair play Jordan Pughe’s goal early in the third period stood up as the winner as the Aldergrove Kodiaks doubled the North Vancouver Wolf Pack 4-2 in junior B Pacific International Junior Hockey League play on Wednesday at the Aldergrove Arena. Pughe scored 31 seconds into the final period to give the Kodiaks a 3-1 lead. And that goal turned out to be huge as 36 seconds later, the Wolf Pack’s Jason Hawkins pulled the visitors to within a goal. But that would be the only puck to elude Ross Baadsvik over the final 20 minutes as North Vancouver fired 19 shots at the Kodiaks goaltender in the period. The Wolf Pack outshot Aldergrove 46-36 overall. Pughe added an

Trinity Western menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey forward Kye Benjaminsen was named the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League rookie of the month for November, after scoring six goals and three assists in five games for the Spartans hockey team. The former junior B Delta Ice Hawks sniper had a point in all five games last month and is second on the Spartans in scoring with seven goals and seven assists in 14 games. Benjaminsen had three multi-point games in November, though none were more impressive than his three-point effort on Nov. 25 when he led the Spartans to a 3-3 tie after trailing Eastern Washington 3-0 going into the third period. Benjaminsen has

now registered a point in all but three of the Spartans 13 games this season. The Spartans are 3-8-2 on the season and are currently fifth in the league. They return to the ice Jan. 20. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘
