are alleging is linked to organized crime.” In some cases, individual transactions amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars, the spokesman said. Money laundering is the practice of making financial transactions specifically to conceal the source or destination of money derived by illegal means. The investigation began in 2007 after police received a tip that led them to the Langley exchanges. “These two currency exchanges were operated by two men who were allegedly laundering the proceeds of crime through these businesses,” the RCMP said in a statement released following the raid. Undercover RCMP officers laundered $21,300 in Canadian currency, and more than $550,000 in U.S. funds, the RCMP allege. Langley City Hall records show a “Robin Rathor” owned both businesses. — with files from Natasha Jones

Two men who were charged with gang-related money laundering at a Langley currency exchange plan to plead guilty to multiple criminal counts. Lawyers for Robinderpal Singh Rathor, 33, and Taranjit Singh Rathor, 24, have filed notice of their intention to plead guilty with the Surrey Provincial Court registry. Court records show the older man intends to plead guilty to five counts of laundering proceeds of crime and one count of conspiracy to commit an indictable offence. The younger man intends to plead guilty to three counts of laundering and one of conspiracy. Their next court appearance is set for September. The pair were charged following a dramatic takedown of two currency exchanges on May 26, 2008, one at Global Tourist Centre (GTC) at 20505 Fraser Highway, the other at Capital Forex, 5560 204 St. Several heavily armed and uniformed RCMP officers pushed their way into the Forex office opposite Langley City Hall, while another group stormed the rear entrance of GTC in a small mall fronting Fraser Highway. Over the next hour, four men were brought out, their faces covered with a jacket or blanket, and placed in the back of a marked police car.

For the second time in 18 months, a suspected drunk driver has destroyed the back fence of the same Langley house under nearly identical circumstances. In both cases, a truck lost control and slammed into the back fence of the house on 216 Street near the Fraser Highway, then sped away. No charges were ever laid in the first incident. The owners of the home repaired and upgraded their back yard with a $5,000 chain link fence, which was ripped apart shortly before midnight on Friday, July 15, when history repeated itself. The only difference was the truck ended up deeper inside the yard, taking out two trees and landing where the residents often do gardening work.

Police raid condemned by client DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times

Corey Reid has a prescription that allows him to use marijuana to cope with chronic pain. He and other clients of the Langley Medical Marijuana Dispensary were “blind-sided” by a police raid that has forced them to find other suppliers. See video at www.langleytimes.com.

Corey Reid assembles a marijuana joint on the front patio of his Langley townhouse. “I had to buy this from an illegal drug dealer because the [Langley] dispensary is no longer available to me,” Reid says as he lights up. “I had to support crime with this. Fantastic.” Reid, a 24-year-old single dad, has a doctor’s prescription for the marijuana he uses to manage severe chronic pain from Osgood–Schlatter disease, a condition that has caused him several knee dislocations. His right knee has a fresh seven-inch scar from the latest of five surgeries he’s endured since he was first diagnosed at 14. His left knee has had one surgery so far, with another expected. “I can tell when it’s going to rain, 12 hours before it does,” he says. Reid says marijuana, which he used to buy from the Langley Medical Marijuana Dispensary, helps him cope with the constant pain without suffering the side-effects of the powerful prescription painkillers he used to take. “I was on the blue narcotic [special prescription] pad,” he says. “I couldn’t function. I was a zombie.” Reid says the Langley RCMP

raid on the dispensary operated by marijuana activist Randy Caine has deprived roughly 200 people of access to good quality, reasonably priced medicinal marijuana. He acknowledges Caine was pushing the limits of the law which only allows a legally licensed pot dispensary like his to supply a small number of patients. “We all knew Randy was in a grey area.” But the police raid was still a surprise, Reid says, because it came after the dispensary had been openly operating for over a year and had just obtained an HST number. “I’ve been paying taxes on my cannabis since April 1 of this year,” Reid says. “No one saw this coming.” The Langley Medical Marijuana Dispensary was raided July 19. Officers removed all of the marijuana from the premises but made no arrests. In a written statement Langley RCMP said that the raid was the result of “numerous ongoing complaints from the community and area residents.” The Mounties said a decision to lay charges will be up to the Crown prosecutor’s office once it has received the police report. •••••• In an open letter to the community, the owner of the recentlyraided Langley Medical Marijuana Dispensary defends his business, accuses the police of “looting” the

dispensary and announces a town hall meeting. In the letter, marijuana activist Randy Caine reveals that he obtained a licence to supply medical marijuana for a friend in 2008. That grew into a dispensary that serves “over 200 members” Caine says. “We provide a safe and professional environment where our clients can discuss their needs with staff who are knowledgeable about the products they are dispensing,” Caine writes. “It is a requirement of our membership to have the written recommendation of a physician or specialist or at the very least a confirmation of a condition that is known to be alleviated by cannabis use.” Caine describes the July 19 raid by police that seized all of the marijuana as a “looting of the dispensary by the Langley RCMP.” He says the Langley RCMP and mayor and council of the City of Langley were told about his activities from the onset. “I have operated with the full and complete knowledge of these officials,” Caine states. There is a town hall meeting today (Tuesday) at the Douglas Recreation Centre at 20550 Douglas Crescent from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. “where the residents of Langley will have an opportunity to voice their concerns, questions and/or support for the use of medicinal marijuana by those with with a medical need.”

Councillor concern led to dispensary raid Mayor told condo owners to go to police DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

The police raid that closed the Langley Medical Marijuana Dispensary came after Langley City Councillor Rudy Storteboom complained to Mayor Peter Fassbender. Both men confirmed there was a discussion in which the councillor brought up the dispensary, which is located in a condo unit next to

a suite that Storteboom owns and leases to a hairdresser. “He [Storteboom] indicated there was some concern,” Fassbender said. “There was a break-in [at the dispensary] right after it opened,” Storteboom said. The mayor said he told the councillor that if the strata council that represents the owners believed illegal activities were being carried

out, they should go to the police. Storteboom told The Times that he relayed the mayor’s message to the strata council. Langley RCMP raided the dispensary on July 19, saying it was in response to “numerous ongoing complaints from the community and area residents.” The mayor also attended the annual general meeting of the building owners on Wednesday (July 27). Fassbender said he was invited by the building manager and strata

president (not Storteboom) to explain the city’s position. “Marijuana dispensaries or compassion clubs are not legal operations under any Canadian law,” Fassbender said. He advised the owners they could send a cease-and-desist order to dispensary owner Randy Caine. Caine also attended the meeting. “He [Fassbender] told them they could kick me out,” Caine said. “This is ludicrous. This is a matter that hasn’t been decided by

the Crown [the prosecutor’s office which decides whether to lay charges following a police raid].” Caine said he has no plans to resume selling marijuana from the condo. Both Fassbender and Storteboom said Ottawa needs to reform the current medical marijuana system by distributing medical pot through pharmacies like any other doctor-prescribed drug. “I don’t understand why this place [the dispensary] is operating at all,” Storteboom said.

CAPSULE COMMENTS with Pinder Mann

No sunscreen provides 100% protection from the damaging rays of the sun. However, using a sunscreen with an SPF rating of 15 will provide 93% protection if applied properly. This means applying after intense sweating or after swimming. Unprotected sun exposure can cause premature skin aging and raise the risk of skin cancer. Don’t forget lip and eye protection as well. While we are on the subject of summer activities, it’s a good time to remind everyone to be mindful of not charring meat on the barbecue. Ways to avoid this is to precook the meat a bit in the microwave ﬁrst, using smaller pieces of meat to start with and marinating the meat before grilling. These suggestions will lessen the time on the grill and minimize the chance of charring the meat.

More people are becoming “flexitarians”. This term is used to describe people who eat primarily plant foods but occasionally eat meat. The term “semi-vegetarian” is also used. Many have reduced their red meat consumption to twice weekly. In 2010, almost 57% of all prescriptions in Canada were filled with generic drugs. This an increase of 9.9% over 2009 figures. The use of brand name drugs fell by 1.9% during the same period. Generic drugs are very reliable in Canada.

Township council slams new TransLink gas tax NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Langley Township residents already pay an excessive amount of money for transportation services that do not fully benefit them, and should not have to be saddled with TransLink’s grab of another two cents per litre of gas, and a vehicle levy, council agreed on July 25. Residents pay for the region’s network of buses, trains and SeaBus through a number of taxes. They also pay a toll to TransLink to use the Golden Ears Bridge. Starting next year, they will pay a toll for the new Port Mann Bridge. Residents also pay for TransLink through property tax and a surcharge on their B.C. Hydro bills. TransLink says it needs the additional levies to pay for the new Evergreen Line which is proposed to connect the Lougheed SkyTrain station with Coquitlam Centre.TransLink is also eyeing a gondola to replace buses on the Simon Fraser University link.

Neither of these options benefits Langley residents or others who live south of the Fraser River and who will nevertheless be paying for them, councillors said. “People all over Langley are saying, ‘enough is enough,’” said Councillor Jordan Bateman. “There is not a sniff of an opportunity for transit” in Langley, he added. “We keep getting pushed down the line.” Taxes are particularly onerous for South Langley residents, said Councillor Charlie Fox. “This is a more expensive tax than the 3.95 per cent property tax increase I voted for,” he said. Mayor Rick Green said the motion to protest the tax “is not based on fact.” If the gas tax increase is not supported, there will be no bus service from the Walnut Grove Park and Ride currently under construction on 86 Avenue, Green said. Other improvements, such as bus service to Gloucester Estates, will be scrapped, he said. Green and Councillors Bob

Long and Grant Ward voted against sending a letter to TransLink to protest the tax. “I don’t know how unfair we have been treated,” Ward said. “I have to have more information before I vote on this.” Councillor Kim Richter said the Evergreen Line “was a bargaining chip in order to get the Olympic Line (between downtown Vancouver and Vancouver International Airport).” Municipalities on the north side of the Fraser “stood up and they got the Evergreen Line.” Council discussion veered to a criticism of Green for not revealing how he voted at the Mayors’ Council meeting, where the additional gas tax was approved. At the July 11 council meeting, Green had refused to divulge how he voted, and refused again when quizzed at the July 25 meeting. “Everybody at this table knows the principles of in-camera,” Green said, adding that he had been advised by Metro Vancouver lawyers not to reveal his vote.

Richter calculates TransLink take NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

For the taxes they pay to TransLink, all Township residents get are crumbs. “We should a least get a slice of bread,” said Councillor Kim Richter. Because of the grim prospect for better bus service and an extension of SkyTrain to Langley from the King George terminus, Township council has written a letter of protest to TransLink.

Richter’s research presents the case for no new taxes from a personal as well as a Townshipwide point of view. Filling the 64-litre tank of her minivan once a week, Richter uses 3,344 litres of gas a year. At that rate, she pays $501.60 a year to TransLink in gas taxes, which are currently 15 cents per litre. “An additional two cent per litre tax means I will pay an additional $67 of gas tax per year to Translink over the $500 I already pay to them,” she said, noting

INJURED

that the two cents tax equals a 13.3 per cent increase. There are 35,795 residential households in the Township and, with a conservative average of 1.5 cars per household, Translink receives an estimated $750 gas tax per year from each household in the Township, she said. This equals a total estimated TransLink gas tax contribution from the Township of $26.8 million. continued, PAGE 5

Township pays $40 million from PAGE 4

“In addition to the gas tax I pay to TransLink, I also pay them property taxes. In 2011, my GVTA (TransLink) property tax was $218.75. Ten years ago, I paid GVTA $59.71 in property tax. This represents a whopping 266 per cent increase in property tax for TransLink over 10 years, or roughly 27 per cent per year.” The Township’s 2011 total property tax remittance to TransLink was $12.9 million. Five years ago, the Township’s total remittance was $9.7 million and 10 years ago, $3.35 million. “So between property taxes ($12.9 million) and estimated gas taxes ($26.8 million), Township residents pay TransLink $40 million per year,” Richter said. Does Langley receive $40 million in TransLink services per year in return? According to the Township’s finance

department, the Township received $1.4 million from Translink last year for roads. “That still leaves $38.6 million and I definitely don’t think Langley Township gets $38.6 million worth of bus service,” Richter said. A two cents per litre gas tax increase will bring TransLink an estimated extra $3.6 million per year from the Township alone, and the proposed $23 per household increase in property taxes will bring TransLink an extra $823,285 annually from the Township. In 2011, Richter paid $721 of her disposable income ($502 gas tax plus $219 property tax) to TransLink. “Based onTranslink services received, I don’t think they’re worth another $90 of taxes per year out of my pocket ($67 more in gas taxes plus $23 more in property taxes). It’s just not fair for Langley Township residents.”

WE SAY

THEY SAY

A voice for children

Last chance to weigh in

t would be very unfortunate if the all-party committee discussing the appointment of the province’s representative for children and youth does not agree to keep Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond in the role. Turpel-Lafond, a First Nations woman from Saskatchewan who is a former judge, has done an excellent job in what is a very difficult and highly-stressful job. It is her job to let the light shine in cases of child neglect, child deaths and other truly disturbing incidents involving children. As an independent officer of the B.C. legislature, her role is to make the situations public and suggest solutions. It is not to kowtow to government policy or close her eyes to some truly challenging and difficult situations. Turpel-Lafond, as both an aboriginal woman and former judge, has unique skills which put her in a good position to speak up about this. Her background is a real help in this position. Far too many of the children who are in foster care in B.C. are First Nations children — a much higher proportion than the First Nations share of B.C.’s population. There are a wide variety of reasons for this, but it remains a fact. Someone who comes from a First Nations background, and has dealt with those situations both personally and professionally, is in a far better position to help make real change than a complete outsider. It is important to remember that the initial suggestion of an independent children’s commissioner came out of the inquiry presided over by Judge Thomas Gove. This was set up after the tragic death of Matthew Vaudreuil in 1992. The five-year-old spent his short life in government care. The NDP government followed through on the recommendation. The BC Liberals abolished the position in 2002, shortly after they first came to power, but created the independent representative’s office after Ted Hughes was asked to report on what was becoming a serious problem involving children in care. Turpel-Lafond took the new position in 2006. While she has made politicians squirm on many occasions, she is doing so because she is speaking on behalf of children, families and the general public. These children need an independent voice. They will never get that by relying solely on the existing child welfare system. Turpel-Lafond has demonstrated that she is truly independent.

f that yellow envelope still sits in your to-do pile, now is the time for action. If you have tossed the offering from the provincial government in the recycling bin, you might want to fish it out. The deadline to mail in your HST ballot quickly approaches. Friday, Aug. 5 is the last day Elections BC will receive envelopes. If you want to take part in this important decision, today is the day to mark your X. There is only word to truly describe the HST mess: unfortunate. It’s unfortunate the Liberals so badly bungled rolling it out. It’s unfortunate the NDP has spearheaded a tax revolt without real alternatives. It’s unfortunate the political landscape of this province has been dominated by this discussion, while more pressing issues get neglected. The Liberals are guilty of misleading voters on the HST. The manner in which the Liberals got us to this point will not be forgotten come general election time. If that’s the time voters decide to make a change, so be it. Just as alarming as the Liberals’ path to this referendum is the NDP strategy. The party has taken every opportunity to trace back almost all issues to the low-hanging fruit of tax revolt, all the while providing very little in the way of solutions. Firing up the masses over increased taxation is easy, sound policy is hard. The best weather vane of this referendum is the Green Party of BC — a party looking to be more pragmatic than political. Last month, party delegates debated the HST at their AGM. A distinct majority, including party leader Jane Sterk and prominent local Greens, voted in favour of keeping the HST. One main reason is that the HST is a true consumption tax. Those who make more money will spend more money and in turn pay more tax. If that yellow envelope still sits unopened, now is your chance to weigh in. Yes or no, your time will not be wasted. —Nelson Star (Black Press) The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Pros and cons of the HST — final plea for votes Editor’s note — Completed ballots in the HST referendum must be received by Elections BC this Friday, by 4:30 p.m. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon and NDP leader AdriAdrian Dix lay out the cases for Kevin Falcon retaining the HST (by voting no) or going back to the GST/PST system (by voting yes). This is an edited version of their comments — a complete version is available at www.langleytimes.com, under opinion/letters. Pro-HST I have said since day one that I intend to vote ‘no’ to higher taxes, and to keep the HST. It is important to understand what this means. If you are in favour of lower taxes and a 10 per cent HST, you should vote ‘no’ on your ballot.

Nine of the 10 fastest-growing economies in the world all use an HST-type consumption tax. So do 140 countries around the world. No jurisdiction anywhere has introduced a retail sales tax in decades. Voting ‘yes’ is a vote for a 12 per cent GST plus PST tax, with a bureaucratic and expensive dual-tax system. Also, if voters choose to keep the HST and vote ‘no’, the province will provide a $175 per-child HST transition payment for families and $175 for seniors with annual incomes of up to $40,000, to help with the transition until the rate drops — one per cent in 2012 and a further one per cent in 2014. These proposed changes are responsive and fair, and allow us to keep our commitment to balancing our budget. Importantly, the proposed changes to the HST, including transition payments, will only take effect should British Columbians vote ‘no’ to the referendum question and retain the HST. The anti-HST forces are trying to make this an emotional vote instead of focusing on the facts. I have acknowledged we did a poor job introducing the tax, but we

all need to move on and focus on what is right for the province. They are trying to convince you that the HST is a tax break for big business and hurts everyone else.They completely ignore the fact we are taking a balanced approach by lessening the burden on families and shifting some of the burden onto business. Kevin Falcon, minister of finance Anti-HST It is critically important that all British Columbians are fully informed about the new deadline to submit their HST referendum ballots. I wrote to B.C.’s Chief Electoral Officer to ask for a two-week extension to the July 22 deadline because of the mail delays caused by the Canada Post lockout, and Elections B.C. agreed that an extension was necessary. The new deadline to return HST ballots is Friday, Aug. 5 at 4:30 p.m.. However, this deadline is for ballots to arrive at Elections B.C., not to simply be postmarked by then, as one might expect. For this reason, I would encourage anyone who has not yet

exercised their right to participate in this important decision for the future of B.C. to do so right away. Dropping your ballot off (in Langley at Willowbrook Shopping Adrian Dix Centre) reduces the risk it will not be delivered in time or get lost in the mail. I have travelled around the province and met with countless people who think the HST is an unfair tax that was poorly implemented, and must be scrapped by voting ‘Yes.’ When we hear of the Liberals doling out hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to their friends and insiders to help them sell the tax in a $7 million effort to save their political hides, we know British Columbians deserve better. NDP leader Adrian Dix

There are two types of councillors

Visitor recommends Walnut Grove bistro

Editor: Here we go again. A new election is coming up. Whom do we vote for as councillors? Do we select the type that blindly accepts any proposal/new bylaw/rezoning/permit that is put in front of them by the planning department, engineering department, consultants and lawyers, without scrutinizing the issues? They keep themselves preoccupied with their own political careers, such as spending thousands of dollars trying to oust their own mayor. Do we select the type that gives themselves astronomical pay increases? Do we select the type that allows

Editor: I just wanted to let your readers know of a wonderful little bistro that I ran into while on holidays in Walnut Grove. I wanted a coffee and a bite to eat, saw The Watershed Arts and Cafe and thought I would try it. Not only was the coffee some of the best I have ever had, but you simply have to have one of their cinnamon buns. The ambience was homey, cozy, peaceful and very welcoming. I loved the various artwork on the walls. If you need a place to relax and/or visit with someone, this is the place to be. The service was friendly and efficient. It made my holiday.

Incidentally, residents pay directly or indirectly for all the expenses the Township incurs. This type acts accordingly, not because of what other people tell them to do or from personal or political desires. It’s sad to say only two councillors fit this category. Ole Sorensen, Langley

Greens lose credibility

www.scoop-n-save.com

he election of Elizabeth May as Canada’s firstever Green Party MP was supposed to be a breakthrough for environmental issues. Finally embraced by voters in the organic farming region of Saanich-Gulf Islands, May was given a mandate to change the political conversation about sustainable development, climate change and pollution. The breakthrough might even translate to the provincial level, where Jane Sterk is the latest of a line of B.C. Green leaders to toil in obscurity. It’s too bad they both threw away their scientific credibility last week, by chiming in with the tiny tinfoilhat movement and its trumped-up opposition to BC Hydro’s transition to wireless meters. May got the tinfoil ball rolling by decrying the use of wireless Internet. It might be contributing to bee colony collapse, she mused on Twitter, to much ridicule. Apparently she believes that using a computer connected by a wire keeps her free from the radio waves that surround us all. They are generated not only by computers, cell phones and smart meters but all sources of light, including the infrared light that accompanies body heat. May then cited the much-hyped revelation that the World Health Organization has listed radio-frequency waves as a possible carcinogen. Radio waves such as those generated by cell phones and wireless routers were moved to a classification called 2B, which also includes such volatile substances as pickled vegetables. What this actually means is that health effects can’t be ruled out. It’s impossible to prove that something’s impossible. But after many years of study, the evidence that cell phones and such devices cause illness remains at precisely zero. With May alongside, Sterk called a news conference last week to demand a halt to BC Hydro’s smart meter program. The first question from a

One day shipping within the Lower Mainland!

BC Views TOM FLETCHER reporter was, why are you reversing the BC Greens’ 2009 election platform, which called for installation of smart meters by 2012, followed by imposition of time-of-use electricity pricing to reduce consumption? Sterk expressed surprise, apparently having forgotten her own position from only two years ago. Political credibility takes years to build but only seconds to destroy. I attended the B.C. Green Party’s 2007 leadership convention at which Sterk was elected. It came after a long and divisive debate over whether cell phones could be used at the meeting. They were finally allowed, but this “issue” apparently took up more time than any policy discussion. Why is BC Hydro putting in smart meters? First, mechanical meters are obsolete and soon won’t be available. Second, B.C. is about twice as big as Germany. Finding, let alone fixing damaged power lines is a monumental task. continued, PAGE 11

Food Allergies 1. Do you have low energy? 2. Are you suffering from chronic sinus infections or respiratory illnesses? 3. Does someone in your family have eczema or a skin rash that never really disappears? 4. Do you feel bloated, gassy or even feel sleepy soon after eating a meal?

Like Family.

These may be symptoms of food allergies. The 5 most common allergenic foods are: Dairy (milk & cheese), Soy, Egg, Wheat, and Tomato. Upon ingestion of allergen, it causes inflammation in the gut which leads to “leaky gut syndrome”. Without the defense of a proper intestinal lining, we have no protection against food allergens. Free flowing allergens in the bloodstream weaken our immune system producing excessive mucous leading to chronic sinusitis. The compromised intestinal tract becomes less effective, producing symptoms of bloating, gas and fatigue; and the toxic buildup places a burden on our liver and skin leading to eczema. Our doctors at Revive Naturopathic Health Clinic use the most advanced laboratory test to screen your blood against 95+ different foods. We will place you on a health program to prevent and heal your symptoms of food allergies. Our naturopathic physicians are also experts in cardiovascular disease, detoxification, weight loss, hormonal issues and sleep disorders.

Wind power seems ideal

Smart grid can reroute power from PAGE 9

A smart grid (much more than just digital meters) is not only self-assessing, it can be made self-healing, rerouting power to blacked-out areas when weather, transformer failure or vehicle accidents cut power. Do smart meters continuously communicate with a “mother ship,” as some claim? Do they record when you get up at night to pee? No and no. These are the kinds of nonsense claims that surround the smart meter issue. BC Hydro says four to six transmissions from a smart meter to a local hub each day amount to about a minute in total. Radio wave exposure is equivalent to a half-hour cell phone call every 20 years. The British National Cancer Institute just published an extensive study of children with brain tumours and exposure to cell phones. Like previous studies, it found no correlation. Somebody should send a postcard to the Green Party and tell them about it. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Pets’ shedding is always a popular topic among pet lovers. We have become so accustomed to it, that it has become a part of our everyday wardrobe. Your cat/dog insists that you’re covered in it before you leave for work in the morning. There are some breeds that are less prone to shed because they have a specific type of coat. But these breeds may require more maintenance on their coat, otherwise they will tangle or mat. The reality is; individual hair has a lifespan, and when it dies it will shed itself. Therefore, that hair will either stay in the coat and create a mat, or it will fall out and end up on you. Although shedding is just a natural thing in your pet’s life, there are some simple solutions that will help make your couch and scarf less likely to end up with your favorite companion’s fur. The first solution would be to start brushing your dog on a regular basis. How often you groom will really depend on your pet’s coat. Naturally a pet with a longer coat will require more regular brushing because their loose hairs are more noticeable around the house. As well, their coats have a much greater chance of matting. A great grooming tool to help eliminate the excess shedding is the “Furminator”. The “Furminator” is a quick and easy way to conquer the hairiest dog in any shedding season. This shedding tool is so amazing it even has a 30day money back guarantee and was recommended on CTV’s “Olson on your Side” as the best shedding tool on the market. The tool’s uniquely designed stainless steel edge gently grabs loose undercoat hair and harmlessly removes it without cutting or damaging the topcoat, while restoring the pet’s natural oils, promoting healthier skin and a shinny topcoat. The “Furminator” works great on all shedding cats and dogs and can help reduce shedding up to 90%. Personally, I truly find the “Furminator” an amazing must have grooming tool for any household pet. You’re welcome to come down to Harvey’s and try it for yourself.

Editor: I was pleased to discover quite recently that B.C. now gets some of its electricity from wind farms. B.C. was the last province in the country to get wind farms, despite having some of the best locations for wind energy in the country. However, I was not nearly as pleased to find out how much electricity is flowing into our homes from coal-fired generators in the United States and Alberta. I do understand that buying cheap coal power from outside B.C. at night, when demand is low and the supply is high, helps to keep our B.C. electricity rates low (coal burning plants are apparently difficult to shut down once they are at operating temperature, so they keep them running all the time). But if we’re purchasing coal power just because it’s cheap and available, aren’t we just as guilty of polluting the air as those who burned the coal? Energy from the wind is clean and free, and it’s not going to leave a big environmental problem for our kids and grandkids to sort out. The same cannot be said for the energy from burning coal. That should make it obvious which energy path we should be pursuing. Wind energy seems like an ideal energy source for B.C. and we’re fortunate to have it as one of our clean energy options.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT

Corporate Show N’ Shine

Welcome to Summer 2011. Being ever the optimist, I appreciate that the weather this year has the forest fire hazard way down!

Tuesday, August 9, 2011

In response to the requests for more networking opportunities, I am pleased to announce the introduction of ‘Open Late for Business’ – a business-afterbusiness networking program. Our goal is to host one event each month from 4:30 to 6:30 at a member’s place of business. We hope you’ll plan to join us at SanderMAX Computer Systems on Tuesday September 27 for the first such event.

Shortly following the AGM in June, Tony Malyk advised that he would not be able to fulfill his commitment as a Director of the Board. The bylaws of the Chamber state that the Board may appoint a member to fill any vacancies until the next AGM. We are pleased to introduce our newest Director – Scott Johnston, Campbell Burton & McMullan LLP.

I would like to express our gratitude to the members who completed the annual survey. This document will form a base for the discussions at the Board Planning Session to be held September 9th. The survey results indicate the priorities for the majority of our members are networking opportunities, business information & resources, and advocacy. The survey also indicates that transportation, crime, economic development and taxation are the top issues affecting business success. We would appreciate hearing from you with regards to any other issues you would like the Board to address – please contact the Chamber Office or send a quick email. On July 20, the Board of Directors appreciated the opportunity to meet with the Honourable Blair Lekstrom, Minister of Transportation to present our case concerning numerous transportation issues. We hope to have Minister Lekstrom attend a future dinner meeting as a guest speaker.

On Sunday morning there were two sessions. “What every volunteer should know about their Chamber” with Keith Woods was presented for Volunteers, and I attended the Chamber Staff presentation “Tomorrow’s Membership Organization” with Kyle Sexton, Business Development Manager for the Salem Chamber of Commerce. Kyle’s presentation was very timely as he focused on Chamber communications (less is more, hire professionals to develop the optimum plan utilizing latest technology), ‘Tiered’ Membership Dues and Membership Promotions (“You don’t have to lift a finger or attend anything to get great value out of your Chamber of Commerce”). As we have often discussed, a lot of energy is spent on getting members out to attend events. The truth of the matter is we do not want all of our members to attend as we cannot accommodate them! It is critical that we keep members informed, seek their input and act on their recommendations or requests. The luncheon presentation “Leveraging Community Cultural Assets” talked about building community profiles and images that include local arts and culture. At the Annual General Meeting Past President Milt was elected to a two year term as Director of the British Columbia Chamber of Commerce. Congratulations Milt, and thank you for allowing us to put your name forward! The breakfast speaker on Monday morning was Hon. Perrin Beatty, President and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce who provided an overview of the efforts of the Canadian Chamber and the power of the Chamber network in Canada. Cameron Muir, Chief Economist of the BC Real Estate Association presented “Housing in BC”. His presentation included numerous graphs and charts that show the fluctuations in the real estate market in BC and demonstrated to me just how much higher the market in the lower mainland is than the rest of the Province. The Hon. Pat Bell, Minister of Jobs, Tourism & Innovation and the Hon. Kevin Falcon, Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance spoke about the upcoming HST referendum and challenges to government to communicate the benefits of it to British Columbians. Minister Bell is a fast food restaurant owner and spoke of the challenges facing the hospitality/tourism industry with the HST, and Minister Falcon addressed the findings of the independent report concerning additional cost

to average families, efforts of the government to mitigate the impact (rebate cheques) and plans to lower the tax to 10%. The luncheon program on Monday was the “Cutting Edge of the Ledge” with Keith Baldrey, Bill Good and Vaughn Palmer. This is a very popular and entertaining program where the panelists banter about covering the news in Victoria and share their opinion and predictions. The program at the Tuesday Breakfast was a very thought provoking presentation by Ezra Levant, author of ‘Ethical Oil’ which he wrote as a result of a less then successful presentation he made to a young environmental group to support oil exploration. His presentation demonstrated the human immorality of eastern oil producing countries and made a strong case to support Canadian oilsands. While his presentation included some very disturbing images he certainly provided food for thought! The balance of presentations on Tuesday included a Rio Tinto Alcan information session and a northern economic panel. The Policy Sessions saw 153 delegates debate and cast 451 votes on 37 proposed resolutions (2 were withdrawn, 3 were defeated, 32 approved). The policy “Need For A Business Vote In BC” required substantial amendments in the preamble however the recommendation ‘That the Provincial Government allow business a greater say in municipal elections through the introduction of a business vote that allocates one vote to every business with a business number paying business class municipal property tax to be exercised by a designated individual’ passed and will remain in the Resolutions Manual as a priority under Reform of Local Government. The resolution concerning the Property Transfer Tax was defeated due to the high cost to government which is not quantified. After lively debate the Prince George resolution ‘Organized Crime In BC’ which included legalization of marijuana was defeated. Our resolution concerning the Aldergrove Border passed easily and the resolution calling for an innovative approach to transportation also passed as a Transportation Priority (this recommends road pricing as a strategy for funding and requests the federal gas tax be available for operational and infrastructure finding). “Removing inter-provincial trade barriers for Canadian VQA wines” also passed The revised resolutions will be distributed and presented to the various government ministries. Details on the resolutions will be posted on the Chamber website in the near future.

Is your Business Prepared for an Emergency? Reprinted from http://www.smallbusinessbc.ca/ Original posted on 06/30/2011

Canadian-made Quality Furniture & Mattresses PROUD CHAMBER MEMBER SINCE 1993

20273 Fraser Highway

604-534-4611 s mclearys.com Newly Renovated and Refreshed in 2010 No-one likes to think about the worse that can happen but business continuity planning is an important part of any business planning process. Creating a plan of action will allow you to respond quickly to an emergency situation with the minimum amount of disruption to your business. Whether your business is hit by a natural disaster, an employee dispute or a utility disruption; the way you deal with these situations will not only affect your bottom line but your relationships with both your clients and your employees.

6 Steps to Creating a Business Continuity Plan 1. Identify your Risks Assess all of the risks which could affect your business. From potential environmental impacts, natural disasters and severe weather, to loss of services and facilities, to potential issues with staff including disputes, illness or shortages. Walk around your business, speak to employees, speak to suppliers and ensure that you have identified all potential problem areas. 2. Identify the Impacts Classify the essential services and functions of your business and list them in order of importance. What goods or services must be delivered first? Are there any legal requirements on providing these goods or services? Assess the needs of your business to provide the essential services identified. These can include employee availability, computer applications, transportation, equipment and service providers such as utilities and financial institutions. Identify your potential areas of revenue loss. If your business is unable to perform its services or provide its products how much revenue will you lose and for what length of time. If clients cannot use your services, how will you prevent them from using a competitor or attract them back from a competitor. Know your insurance options. Since few businesses can afford to pay the full cost of recovery, it is important to know what threats your insurance covers. 3. Develop your Strategy Identify proactive measure you can take to avoid a disaster or reduce its impact on your business. If your business uses hazardous materials, identify the possible accidents or issues, and train staff on how to avoid them or what to do if it happens. If you are in a flood prone region, ensure that you do not keep electronic equipment or important documents in lower flood risk areas of your premises and ensure that information is backed up regularly.

Ask yourself: what can I do to prevent this disaster from occurring? How can I reduce the frequency of this disaster? And, what solutions can I implement should it happen?

www.hiexpress.com/langleybc â&#x20AC;˘ Email: info@hielangley.com

4. Know Who you Need to Contact Communication is key in times of disaster. Whether communicating with staff, suppliers or clients; the way you respond to a situation will impact their reaction. Make sure clients understand what your plans are to resume your service and the timeframes they should expect. When signing contract with a new client, let them know your recovery plan. This will not only demonstrate forward planning but will mean that you will not have a stressed client if a disaster should occur. Ensure that your employees are clear about the procedures for your business and communicate these with their families. If there is one central person who will communicate information to the rest of the employees, make sure everyone knows who this is. If there is a plan to relocate services to another location in times of emergency, ensure everyone knows where this is. Have a list of suppliers that you will need to contact in case of emergency. Your gas supplier should there be a leaking pipe, your product suppliers should your building become unusable etc. 5. Identify your Major Tasks Knowing how to respond to emergency situation is crucial; but do you know who is responsible for what and what their priorities are? Define the major tasks, specific to your organization. You have already identified the potential risks to your business but what steps would you need to take to recover or minimize the damage? Tasks can include calling your insurance agent, informing your stakeholders, finding new premises, hiring contractors to fix any damage etc. Once you have identified these tasks, assign them to your employees and make sure they are aware of their role. 6. Continually Review your Plan Your plan should be a living document which constantly changes according to the needs of your business. Is the employee responsible for communications leaving your business? Have you changed suppliers since you first drafted the plan? Have you developed new services which need to be assessed for risk and included in the recovery plan?

Times Reporter

Self proclaimed master of the new flamenco guitar, Doug Towle, will be mesmerizing audiences at the Harmony Arts Festival in Vancouver this weekend. The Langley musician is no stranger to the festival, having performed there many times in the past. His performances are unique, given that the majoirty of his Latin guitar songs are all improvised. “For me it’s really just the immediacy of it all,” Towle said. “Nothing ever gets played the same way twice. It always works but sometimes it’s not always the way I had anticipated it to be.” Towle decided to permanently hang up his tool belt from his day job 11 years ago to become a full-time performer and guitar instructor. Prior to that, Latin guitar wasn’t part of his repertoire at all. “I kind of fell into it after I got done with the rock scene,” he said. “I hammered my way around the rock scene in Vancouver and B.C. for a number of years and then I decided to grow up, cut my hair, take up an acoustic guitar and this is what came out. “It’s something that was always kind of in there, but as I started working on it more I discovered it’s something I am very comfortable with and it just sort of all found a place.” Towle says his playing style is not a traditional form of flamenco music, and influences of rock and jazz are sometimes mixed in. “The music I play has more of a rhumba bass. It’s more of a gypsy flamenco,” he said.

Going to nationals, the captain admitted the team was a little bit on edge because they knew they were up against a former world champion, as well as some other high-powered teams from back east. “We were just told to do our best,” she said. “We were nervous and really didn’t know how we were going to do. “We knew we had a decent team heading out there, but we just didn’t have the experience that the teams back east have.” Not having any expectations when nationals began, Ferguson said the squad just dug deep when it had to. “I call these girls a team with a lot of heart,” she said. “Everything is on the blade when the horn goes; they give everything they have. “We just worked hard, consistently, and more importantly, we all believed in the plan that our coach laid out for us and stuck with it. “We believed in him and believed in each other.”
