‘We don’t see a need’ Langley City responds to request for joint study on amalgamation with Township BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
Natasha JONES/Langley Times
A Cessna 172 piloted by a SkyQuest Aviation student tipped over on its roof after it hit a field on the southeast corner of 216 Street and 56 Avenue. The pilot, who was alone, crawled out of the craft after the mishap, which occurred at about 1:10 p.m. on Monday. Langley Regional Airport manager George Miller said that the pilot, who had flown solo before, was taken to hospital even though he appeared to have suffered no apparent physical injuries. Transport Canada is probing the cause.
Flood fears force camp closure Campers ordered to leave Derby Reach; Brae Island not affected DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
The campground at Derby Reach park in Fort Langley remained closed Monday because of concern the rain-swollen Fraser River might flood low-lying areas. Derby Reach was shut down to overnight camping on Wednesday (July 13) and a pedestrian bridge to an off-leash dog area in the park was also closed after water started edging over the river banks. Day visitors were still allowed. Elsewhere, Brae Island Fort Camping, which is located on higher ground, was
not affected by the rising river levels and remained open. The BC River Forecast Centre issued a “high streamflow advisory” for the lower Fraser River last week, blaming the rising levels on heavy rain and melting snow from bigger than usual accumulations in the mountains upstream. Flooding was reported in some areas upriver and homes in one Prince George neighbourhood were briefly evacuated. River levels peaked Thursday, then began to subside. The streamflow advisory was lifted Friday. The forecast centre issued a written advisory that said the risk of flooding has declined, but the high water levels continue to pose a hazard for low-lying areas that are not protected by dikes. Channel and bank erosion is also a concern, the centre said. It described the high water levels as
unusual for this time of year. “Typically the Fraser River reaches peak levels in the middle of June, so peak flows at this time of year are a month later than normal,” the centre said. The Fraser River has been running at above average levels nearly continuously for the last six weeks. More unsettled wet weather is expected and river levels were forecast to rise again later this week, but not as high as they were last week. In response to the rising water, Langley Township municipal crews increased the frequency of dike inspections from weekly to daily at three locations.When levels dropped, the crews went back to weekly checks. Current streamflow information is available from the River Forecast Centre at http://bcrfc.env.gov.bc.ca/. See video at www.langleytimes.com.
Thanks, but no, thanks. That is the City of Langley’s response to a request for a joint study between it and Township into the feasibility of amalgamation. The Langley Reunification Association is currently circulating a petition to have a comprehensive study done on the costs and benefits of reunifying the two Langleys, which split in 1955. However, the City officially turned down the request at its Monday meeting, saying there have already been plenty of studies done across Canada, all pointing to the same thing — when it comes to amalgamation, most often the bad outweighs the good. It’s been 56 years since the Langleys parted ways, but the issue of amalgamation has lingered, said City Mayor Peter Fassbender, noting it seems to rear its head every three years. There are a few reasons for that, he added — one being something as simple as a name adding emotional fuel to the fire. Had one Langley or the other changed its name in 1955, he believes it wouldn’t be as big an issue. Neither history nor geography — the City is surrounded on three sides by the Township — have any bearing on City council’s decision. Nor does the current political climate in the Township affect its stance, Fassbender said. “I’ve said we don’t see the need (for a Langleyspecific report), because a number of studies have already been done.” The mayor pointed to case studies of the Abbotsford-Matsqui merger, as well as those of Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. He said it makes no financial sense to commission yet another study — which he estimates would cost at least $30,000 to $40,000. Only the presentation of a business case showing that reunification would benefit City taxpayers would convince council to reconsider, he said. And based on what they’ve seen, he said, that doesn’t appear likely. “Cost reductions are a myth — they have not been realized (in other amalgamated communities).” The suggestion that the City’s council and managers want to protect their jobs is “hogwash,” said continued, PAGE 3

motion a bit “pre-emptive and presumptuous,” said spokesperson Rian Martin. “We’re surprised and amused the City of Langley is formally declining a suggestion that has not been made to them.” “They’re running scared here. We certainly feel it is an overreaction,” Martin added, saying the petition question is not a request for amalgamation. The petition being presented to City residents reads as follows: “We the undersigned, residents of the City of Langley, respectfully request the council of the City of Langley to engage with the council of the Township of Langley in an independent study of the feasibility of reunification.” This is simply a citizens’ initiative, said Martin, adding the petition is “going gangbusters.” Martin said the response so far has been better than the group had anticipated but declined to give the number of signatures they’ve collected so far. Regardless of the City’s motion, he said, the group will carry on with plans to present its petition to both councils when the time comes. The City of Langley has posted its report online at www.city.langley.bc.ca. More on the Langley Reunification Association can be found at onelangley.ca.

Township keeping 200 Street, 0 Avenue closed to traffic NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
With the vague possibility of another look, Township council has endorsed keeping 200 Street at 0 Avenue blocked off to vehicular traffic. The action comes months after 48 property
owners, most of them from the High Point development, signed a petition calling for the junction to remain closed. Only pedestrians, cyclists, riders and emergency vehicles will have access at this location. In a motion passed on
July 11, council agreed to delay future discussions “if any” on making 200 Street a through-road until High Point is 90 percent complete, and surveys of traffic speed and volume on surrounding roads have been completed. High Point, council was told, is approximately 50
per cent complete. As a designated disaster route, 200 Street would be activated to move emergency services and supplies in response to a major disaster. Why Township council would consider blocking it off before it reaches 0 Avenue was one of the concerns
raised at a public hearing in May. There has been no access because the isolated area used to be a gravel pit, However, the intersection existed in development plans for High Point, and the Township only kept it closed during the building of the estate to deter
construction vehicles from entering the development site from 0 Avenue. Council also asked staff to examine safety aspects of a horse crossing on 200 Street, after residents and Mayor Rick Green pointed to its poor location on a blind spot at the bottom of a hill.

A rally against Langley Township Mayor Rick Green fizzled on Friday. Organizers Joe Zaccaria and Sukhi Dhami were joined by Bert Chen, Al Peterson and Patricia Revill outside the entrance to Township hall. One of their supporters, who would not give his name, and a man in a wheelchair who left after about 10 minutes, were joined by two reporters and one cameraman. Councillor Grant Ward, who has been vocal in his opposition to the mayor since the day after Green ousted incumbent mayor Kurt Alberts in November, 2008, watched from a distance. Zaccaria said he was not disappointed with the outcome. “We had two people on Monday (when he and Dhami spoke at council calling on Green to step down while a special prosecutor reviews an RCMP probe into the mayor’s conduct).Today there were six or seven, next week will be 20, next month 200 and by the election, 2,000.” Zaccaria said he and Dhami received “a lot of calls from people who told us that they support us but would not attend because they were intimidated because they felt there would be retaliation from the few vocal supporters out there who think that Rick Green can do no wrong.” Both Dhami and Chen have declared their candidacy for Township council. Zaccaria said that since he and Dhami appeared before council on July 11 asking Green to step aside “we have received an outpouring of grassroots support for our efforts.” He accused Green of violating basic principles of governance, a fact which Zaccaria

The consultants said in January that the relationship between Green and the rest of council had deteriorated so far that a workshop to help them address issues of contention was pointless. Dhami called the response to the call for Green to stand down “overwhelming.” He added: “We are also saddened by the many people who said they greatly support us, but feel intimidated by coming out and making their names and faces public. They are concerned that Mayor Green and a handful of his supporters will expose them to public ridicule.” Chen, a newcomer to local politics, took a softer approach but came to the

same conclusion: that Green should “heed the concerns of citizens here today.” Chen said that since 2008, Green “has delivered results to our community (and) has never forgotten his role as mayor, and leader of our municipality.” He said he wanted to be clear that he attended the rally “not to pass judgement and convict anyone. I am here to represent our democracy. I believe this is the cornerstone of our society, and we must all value and adhere to this.” Saying he would never challenge the supremacy of democratic ideals, including that of innocence until guilt is proven, Chen implored Green “to reaffirm your commitment as our democratically elected mayor and heed the concerns of citizens here today.” Green issued a statement through his office that he would not step down and was looking forward to the next election.

Car levy should vary by transit level: Mayors Black Press
A proposed vehicle levy to finance transit upgrades should charge motorists more if they live in frequently served Vancouver and less in transit-poor areas with no real alternative to driving, some mayors say. The regional mayors council voted last week to pay for the Evergreen Line and a package of broader transit upgrades through a two-cent hike in the gas tax, coupled with at least one other to-be-determined source. A vehicle levy – possibly ranging from $10 to $40 per vehicle – is being proposed by TransLink to serve as that second source but it’s unclear how it would be applied. TransLink last fall proposed a vehicle levy that would vary based on the car’s carbon footprint – it would be low for an efficient hatchback or hybrid and steep for a gas-guzzling SUV. That’s again an option this time, but officials say it’s not set in stone. Delta Mayor and Metro board chair Lois Jackson argues the levy, dubbed a Transportation Improvement Fee, should instead vary based on the level of local transit service. “It should be more expensive in Vancouver, Burnaby – places where you do have 15-minute service,” she said. “People in outlying areas with no service should pay a lesser fee for the vehicle levy, because they’re having to pay already with tax on gasoline. That’s their contribution because they have to have a vehicle or two vehicles in their family.” Many residents with next-to-no bus service also pay $200 or more on their property taxes towards TransLink, Jackson said. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts also backs a graduated vehicle levy. She said it should apply only when local transit service is well developed – areas such as Burnaby, Vancouver and Richmond. It wouldn’t apply in faster-growing areas like Surrey, she suggested, but those areas would instead raise money for TransLink through new development cost charges when new subdivisions are developed. “It’s about being equitable and fair,” she said. It’s not good enough to simply complain about the various funding mechanisms under consideration, Watts said. A million more people are coming to the Lower Mainland over the next couple of decades, 70 per cent of them to the South of Fraser or northeast sector, she noted. “You have to make a choice,”Watts said.“Do you want another half a
million cars on the road with more congestion? Or do you want to put a better transportation system in place so we won’t have those problems?” Watts was among the majority of mayors who last week supported the proposed funding strategy, while Jackson was one of eight who voted against it, fearing the vehicle levy or other secondary source might not be ultimately supported by the province, forcing an increase in TransLink’s property tax to make up the difference. “For the longer term there has to be a conversation around tolling,” Watts added.“South of the Fraser is disproportionately penalized through the tolling policy in place.” Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender said the region needs to look hard at tolling existing bridges using more modest tolls. He said a graduated vehicle levy that is much reduced in underserved suburbs is worth considering. “We’ve been subsidizing Vancouver and Burnaby transit service for many years South of the Fraser and it’s time other people shared the load.” But Fassbender said it’s not clear to him how such a system would work. “What happens as transit expands? Does the levy go up in those areas to be a disincentive to drive? People are looking for simplistic solutions. But we need to do a lot more homework on how those pieces fit together.” BC Conservative Party leader John Cummins last week denounced the two-cent gas tax hike, which he said will be “rubbing salt in the wounds” of commuters who already pay high gas taxes, the carbon tax and soon face the tolling of the Port Mann Bridge. “To penalize people who have to get to work by car because there’s no transit available is simply not the way to solve the problem,” he said. Cummins would not say what new funding source for TransLink he would support, instead suggesting that money for transit could somehow be found elsewhere in the provincial budget. He said corporate sponsorship of rapid transit stations may be one partial solution. It’s no surprise area mayors are supporting the gas tax increase, he said. “The province wears it, not the mayor who’s going to face re-election.” The B.C. Chamber of Commerce backed the funding plan, saying the transit upgrades will be a boom for investment. Chamber president John Winter said it’s critical, however, that road pricing (a much broader system of tolling not limited to bridges) be made a longterm revenue source for TransLink.

fire alert propane tanks were almost empty, the damage was relatively limited, but the tanks on the neighbour’s trailer were full. There, the blaze gutted the trailer and fried a pickup truck next to it. Heat from the burning trailer also melted the vinyl siding off the upper floor of the house. The neighbours later learned that another trailer at another location not far away had also been damaged by a suspicious fire. No one was injured, something Ritchot says is entirely because of Eddie Dagg, who she calls a “hero among us” for running past burning and potentially explosive propane tanks to warn his neighbours. Dagg could not be reached for comment before The Times press deadline.

Dawn Ritchot and her oldest son Curtis survey the damage to a neighbour’s camping trailer, one of three suspicious trailer fires Sunday morning. Ritchot’s trailer was also a target, but escaped with relatively minor damage.

When skin cancers are diagnosed early, treatment success can be very high. Carefully inspecting all your skin, looking for spots that are new or have changed colour, size or shape, is important. See your doctor if you notice anything unusual. Infertility can be a stressful problem for couples trying to have children. The problem rests 40% of the time with the male and 40% of the time with the woman. One male in 25 has a low sperm count and one in 35 is sterile. Fertility problems strike one in three females over 35. For good information about infertility in Canada, log on to www. iaac.ca This fall, there will be a new flu vaccine specially for seniors. Called, Fluad, it contains an extra substance to increase its ability boost the immune response and better protect against the flu. Sometimes, splitting tablets can save money (like splitting a 100mg tablet to get a 50mg dose) but there are some drugs that should not be split. Blood thinners (like warfarin) should not be split because the dose must be very accurate. Drugs with special coatings and timed-release tablets should also not be split. Knowledgeable, approachable, dependable....our pharmacists are all this and more. We’d be happy to fill your next prescription. ADVERTORIAL

ummer weather is in short supply, and that may be a factor in the grumpiness that a few people are exhibiting. The political discourse in Langley, and in B.C. in general, is at a very negative level. While some of the unhappiness is understandable, given that a referendum on the HST is now underway, some people simply don’t seem to want to listen to what those with differing views have to say. The anger over the HST is still palpable, and given the way it was hoisted on citizens, that anger is understandable. However, people now have the chance to have their say. Listening to those with a different view is not the same as agreeing with them. It is part of civil discourse, which is essential if a democracy is to function properly. The Times has particularly noticed this grumpiness on our website. Comments on some news stories or letters to the editor have, on occasion, gone far beyond what is reasonable. It seems that a few commenters delight in hiding behind anonymity so that they can say nasty things about others. In recent weeks, our website managers have been forced to disable comments on several stories, and if the trend doesn’t improve, there may be many more such stories which will not allow comments in the future. This would be unfortunate, as there may be a provincial election this fall, and there will definitely be a municipal election. There are also several tax increases under discussion, and amalgamation has again been raised. People who wish to comment on all those topics, or others, are taking part in democracy. In a democratic society, hearing from a wide range of opinions is a key part of how decisions are made. However, what a few commenters seem to forget is that opinions are just that — opinions. They aren’t facts. Those who hold them aren’t demons. And those who are willing to express them should have the ability to do so. In the United States, political opinions are deeply divided on just about everything. This is acceptable, but the manipulation of opinions by political talk show hosts, TV networks, website commenters and party operatives has made many people deeply cynical about the entire political process. We haven’t got that far in Canada yet, and let’s hope that we don’t. Democracy has its flaws, but as Winston Churchill said, it sure beats all the alternatives.

ount drinking and driving as another element of the 20th century’s car culture that’s been left behind in the 21st century. Earlier this week the province made the obvious decision to keep tough rules introduced 10 months ago that have worked to curb the carnage caused by intoxicated drivers. Across B.C., there have been 30 deaths in a seven-month period that averaged 61 fatalities in each of the previous five years. This is more than enough evidence to keep the laws as they are — there had been talk of easing the rules after bars and restaurants complained the laws were too harsh and hurt business. However, while this has been somewhat true, there has also been an evolution in how people think about their drink. Whether switching from boozy beverages to mocktails or planning an alternative way to get home, the general public appears to have adapted to the new reality. Part of this can be attributed to fear of getting caught, but hopefully it also signals a sea change in society. Younger generations have grown up being told about the dangers of drunk driving and their education has rubbed off on older citizens. The glory days of gas guzzlers are long gone and city planners are more and more looking at ways to keep people out of their vehicles. Driving and drinking, once far too common, is also a relic of an past era. Taxis, bus service and even courtesy rides from good Samaritan organizations are now readily available for people who want to go out for a drink and get home without driving. The message is clear: There are options to avoid hitting the road hammered. The law works and it’s time for all B.C. drivers to work with it. —Campbell River Mirror (Black Press)

Italian sign Canada backed a killer said it all Editor: I read your article regarding those parking illegally in spaces designated handicapped (The Times, July 12). I just returned from a trip to Italy where the handicapped parking spaces have the following signs posted: “ If you’ve taken my parking spot please take my disability, too.” I thought it was quite clever. It does make one think twice. Shirley Gordon Williams Lake
Editor: Last year I killed many overseas nationals. I did so quietly. They didn’t see me or hear me, but they died all the same. I poisoned their breath. It was surprisingly easy from my vantage point. I expect these kinds of things often are. My method of killing is to expose unsuspecting men to asbestos. I’m not an agent hired by any government body. Instead I have hired a whole government. I’m not powerful enough to do this all by myself. You helped. Together we exported this deadly asbestos to countries whose citizens we
know are unable to take the necessary sophisticated worksafe precautions. Death by asbestos is inevitable when its effects progress to cancer. There is no cure for this particular type. There was not a government in the world last month willing to hide this danger from potential victims of asbestos. Except the government that you and I hired. We did so at the Rotterdam Convention. We scotched a worldwide treaty which would greatly decrease death by asbestos. Our government is not worse than most others. It’s not too difficult to believe other governments knowingly
kill innocent people. We aren’t often willing to face this fact about our own. Or about ourselves. Our MPs do a great deal of good. But we have to object loudly and clearly when they make a mistake on our behalf. Visit the office of Mark Warawa MP and leave a note asking him to speak for us in Ottawa regarding this. I trust Mark will do so. In every matter there may be a point at which a voice needs to be raised in the cause of justice. Genocides occurred for lack of this. Brendan Martin Langley
Help sought after heartbreaking loss Tax debate seems like ‘a great big scam’
Editor: I’m having a hard time believing I am typing these words right now. On Thursday (July 7) I was fortunate enough to appear on the front page of the Langley Times with Missy, the brilliant, spirited three-year-old Yorkshire/ Jack Russell Terrier mix (who, much to the delight of my family, looked incredibly suspicious of me in the accompanying photo). Today, as if having woken in a sick alternate reality, I am writing this with the most broken of broken hearts: Missy died yesterday. A combination of unusual and stressful circumstances left me stranded in Richmond for most of the day and well into the afternoon yesterday. Not used to leaving Missy alone for more than a few hours at a time, I called friends to visit our house and check on her. I still don’t understand exactly what transpired here, but at some point she ended up in traffic in front of our house, on Fraser Highway. You need to understand that, in the months that Missy lived with us, she never once got close to any roads without a leash. She was petrified by traffic. I was told later that, amidst the thick afternoon traffic, several people stopped their vehicles, and at least two got out of their cars to try and help wrangle the six pound fireball. At the intersection of Fraser Highway and 240 Street, Missy was struck and killed instantly by a westbound truck. It was 4:43 p.m. on Friday, July 8. The driver did not stop. The truck was described as a black, raised pickup driven by a male and headed toward Langley City on Fraser The

Shortly after Rozlyn Kromhoff-Francis and Missy were featured in a Langley Times story, the little dog was struck and killed by a truck. Kromhoff-Francis is hopeful that somebody has information about who was driving the pickup, so that she and her family can find closure over the loss. Highway. Given the stopped vehicles and people in the road, only a most oblivious driver would not be aware of what they did. I know there were many witnesses to this tragedy, and if you are one of them, I am begging you for your help. I welcome any information that might help us find some kind of closure over this loss of what was, essentially, our child. You can do so through a web page we have set up at www.wix.com/ rozkromhoff/missy I would also like help finding out the
identity of the two people my friend called, “the nicest couple in the world” — the ones who helped calm him down and got him and Missy’s body safely back to our house. To everyone who helped that day, to anyone who stopped their cars that day or got out to help, I can’t thank you enough. Even if you don’t believe in God, God bless you. I am not much of a believer myself, but I do believe in Heaven and I take some comfort in knowing that Missy and grandpa are there, together again. Rozlyn Kromhoff-Francis Langley
Editor: I have been reading all of the information on the HST, both pro and con, and I find that the more I read and hear, the more I am convinced that the entire debate is a great big scam, initiated by the BC Liberal party and responded to by the anti-HST side, some times intelligently, other times in a knee jerk fashion. And by big business and quasi-intellectuals, all of them repeating time and again that the HST is good for B.C. and for the people. If the HST is so good for us, why do I keep on seeing ads by big box stores, big business and others for ‘no HST sales?’ One would think if the HST is so good for us that these businesses would be telling everyone to spend, spend, spend and pay the HST because the HST is so good for them, don’t you think? From the information provided by Tourism B.C. it would appear that overnight customs entries to B.C. and Canada are way down from 2009 in 2010 and 2011 to date. How come we are not seeing this advertised by the government? R.E. Nyirfa Walnut Grove

Langley was selected by Hockey Canada to host the 2011 World Junior A Hockey Challenge. The week-long event runs Nov. 7-13. The tournament features six hockey teams — two from Canada (Canada West and Canada East), and one apiece from the United States, Sweden, Russia and the Czech Republic. This is just the latest in a string of major competitions and sporting events the LEC has drawn to the Fraser Valley. The B.C. provincial gymnastics championships, which christened the LEC as its first event, have been held here multiple times now and next year, the Western Canadian gymnastics championships come to town. At the high school level, the Single A boys’ high school basketball championships have been hosted at the LEC and in March, the junior girls’ championships will be decided in Langley. And then last year, perhaps the crown jewel of high school sports, the B.C. senior boys’ AAA basketball championships left their long-time home at the PNE Agrodome to set up shop in Langley for the next few years. There is also talk they may bid on the senior girls’ AAA championships, as that tournament’s contract with North Vancouver’s Capilano University is set to expire following the 2012 event. The LEC has also hosted the Canadian Interuniversity Sport men’s volleyball championships. And now come the international events. In addition to the hockey championships, January 2012 brings the Continental Cup of Curling, which features the world’s best curlers. Add it all up, and the Langley Events Centre has not only brought major events for sporting fans, but they have also generated business for the local community, especially restaurants and hotels.

The Air 1 police helicopter was called in to look for the joyriders, who abandoned the loader and fled on foot.
There were, witnesses said, five to seven young men riding the 20-ton John Deere front end loader down 24 Avenue early in the morning of Sunday, July 10. The stereo in the cab of the 20-ton rig was blasting music over the sound of the 232 horsepower engine. The big tractor was stolen from a locked compound at Stokes Pit near the Langley-Surrey border around 1 a.m. As it was making its way eastward down the 19900 block of 24 Avenue, the loader flipped over a Ford F350 pickup truck, leaving the smaller vehicle on its side. Shortly after that the youths abandoned the loader and fled
on foot. According to one unofficial account, the John Deere was brought to a halt by a local resident who jumped into the cab to stop it from hitting a gas station and pub. The Air 1 police helicopter was called in, but either it nor a police dog could locate the joyriders. The loader was recovered undamaged and returned to the owner. Police are asking anyone with information that might assist in identifying the suspects to call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or if you prefer to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

“What better and more beautiful place than on the edge of farmland.”
“We are growing three per cent per year.Where are we going to put these people? We have to put them where they can walk to nearby amenities. I don’t know why we don’t want Murrayville to build out to its full potential.” Among Fagan’s arguments were that amenities such as the Murrayville Library are not within walking distance for most seniors, that sidewalks are inadequate, and that the proposed density is greater than in parts of Willoughby. The distance from 228 Street and 48 Avenue to the library is 1.5 km — almost one mile. In some areas along 48 Avenue, sidewalks are narrower than the standard, and in some places are nonexistent. Fagan also raised the issue of particulates from the concrete manufacturer polluting the air, noting that they would be detrimental to the health of seniors. But Councillor Jordan Bateman said that no one has expressed concern for the health of students in the nearby Langley Christian Middle High School. Speaking to the density, Bateman said, “We have the opportunity to add density in an area that is perfectly suited to it.” The concrete plant is under orders to correct non-compliance with air quality regulations.

Jack Froese launched his bid for the Township’s mayoralty last week in the company of two dozen prominent farmers and
on the site of the largest organic produce farm in the area. Following a career as a policeman and farmer, Froese says he’s setting his sights on a political life “from a deep-seated desire to see the quality
of life and rural flavour of Langley protected for our children while providing the economic stability we all need for the future.” Froese has passed on his farm operations at JD Turkey Farms to

his children and key employees to carry on, and says he will be using every method possible, from social media and advertising to old-fashioned doorknocking, to get his message out to voters. Speaking at the Myers family’s 60-acre produce farm, Froese said that Langley is home to 40 per cent of the farming activity in the Fraser Valley but is “feeling the pressures of growth. We must be vigilant to ensure that livable communities are built... “We must balance our children’s need for affordable housing while protecting our most valuable resource — the land we farm on.” Froese said he has no desire to get involved in the highly-partisan fights that are currently going on between Township council and Mayor Rick Green. “I want to stay above that,” he said. However, he added, “our Township council needs a person with real business experience to focus on the job of good government and bring respect back to Township hall.”

Then the Australian carbon tax is supposed to convert to an emissions trading system designed to push industry into a cleaner future.

Highly-praised ‘Speed Dating’ on Thursday Due to the success of an innovative and practical approach to networking within the voluntary/ non-profit sector in Langley in April, the Langley Chamber of Community Services is hosting another session, with a twist for summer: Speed Dating in the Park. The event will be held on Thursday, July 21 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., with networking
and refreshments starting at 4 p.m. The event will be at Williams Park, 68 Avenue and 238 St. Registration is required by e-mailing your name and organization to langleyccs@hotmail.ca. For more Information, call Dave Stark at 604-807-0306 or e-mail dave_stark@ shaw.ca or douglas@ sterlingcampaign.com. Due to limited space,
only one person per voluntary organization may sign up to attend. After April’s event, many people offered high praise: “The best networking event I have been to in 30 years,” said Shefali Raja of the Fraser Health Authority. “There was an emerging camaraderie among the nonprofits that attended,” commented Allan Thain, artistic director
of Bard in the Valley. “Great to meet people in organizations that I knew little about,” said Dorothy McKim, of the Ishtar Transition Housing Society. “Almost everyone I connected with will be beneficial to network with for the Action Table,” added Carla Robin, the co-ordinator for the Langley Seniors Community Association Table.

when Klaboe and her partner, Mike, left for work. When they returned, they found their Brookswood home ransacked. Two laptops, an iPod and other electronics were gone. A toiletry case, containing mostly allergy medicines and painkillers, was missing, too. But the biggest loss was the rings, and now Klaboe is appealing to the thieves — or the person now wearing the bands — to do the right thing and return them. The jewelry has little monetary worth, but is of huge sentimental value to Klaboe, especially a silver and turquoise ring. Klaboe was three

so too is a link Klaboe has to her mother, who died five years ago at the age of 58. “This is a precious link to her,” she said of the ring. “I hope someone has the heart to return it.” The ring is quite thin and features a native Indian design. It is about one inch long and half an inch wide, and has turquoise inlay on sterling silver. It may be worth only $40 or $50, she says, “but to me it’s everything.” The other rings were a simple silver band engraved with ‘Sisters’ on the outside, and ‘past, present and future’ on the inside, and another with a square garnet, a gift from Mike on their first anniversary.

Dardan Elbasani is considered a threat to public safety, as has a history of violent attacks against women. There are outstanding warrants against him in Langley. Contributed photo
Attacker sought Police investigating a June 16 sex assault in South Surrey are warning the public their prime suspect has a history of violent attacks against women — and they don’t know where he is. The assault occurred in Southmere Village Park, when a woman out for a walk was assaulted by a man who emerged from the bushes. The assailant fled after the woman screamed continually. Investigation has led to charges of sexual assault causing bodily harm against a 23-year-old man. Police say Dardan Elbasani — who is also wanted on outstanding warrants in Surrey, White Rock and Langley — is considered a risk to public safety. He is described as a clean-shaven Caucasian with short, sandyblond hair. He is 5’9”, with a lean build and partially finished tattoo on his right arm. Anyone with information as to Elbasani’s whereabouts is asked to contact police at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

Jim McGregor Langley Times When the Kitson family assumed ownership of the Valley Evergreen Pharmacy in 1970, they were one of only four pharmacies in Langley and one of their first customers rode up on a horse and tied it to a sign post out front. Today, their customers are challenged to find a parking spot at their busy location at 206th.St and Douglas Crescent in Langley City, and the Langley area has over thirty-five pharmacies. Hazel and Gerry Kitson bought the business forty-one years ago from Jock McKinnon and Murray Brandow. Murray’s father, Harold Brandow had operated a drug store on the main street for many years and Murray and Jock McKinnon had moved the business to the office building on Douglas Crescent. When they purchased the business in 1970 Gerry was the pharmacist and Hazel was the book keeper. “We had someone come in one day a week to assist us but there were many times we took no salary and struggled through the tough times.” Gerry recalls.

products they purchase. “We used to be one of the only places to purchase many of these products,” explains Steve. “But now the hospitals provide a lot of the aids as well as the Red Cross programs and there are other clinics in the area now. Our location in downtown Langley is convenient for the large senior’s population we have in close proximity to our location so we still have a good clientele.” When asked about the increase in the number of pharmacies in the past few years, Gerry concedes they have taken some business. “We understand the population is very spread out and people don’t just shop on Friday night and Saturday anymore. It’s all about convenience and if you only have to go a short a distance or can combine your shopping, it’s easier for most people.” “Many of the big stores and grocery outlets have in store pharmacies.

When asked about expired medications or prescriptions that have not been fully used and linger in the medicine cabinets, Gerry advises that this is also a concern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All prescriptions should be used fully as directed.

There is no reason to have out of date medications around.â&#x20AC;? Another concern in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market is the sale of unregulated medications over the internet or mail order drugs ordered from other countries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have concerns that there is no medical consulting before people order these medications and because they are not government regulated there is no guarantee that they are safe, maybe less potent or too strong, which cause death or severe illness.

We are in a more competitive market but we are more involved medically. Pharmacists can now do med reviews on patients but there has been funding cutbacks in other areas. We now have a staff of ten in our store and we stay busy. I recognize that the pharmacists today are better educated and pharmacists
are now doing consults in the emergency rooms which is a plus to patient care.” In addition to managing Valley Evergreen Pharmacy, the Kitson family is active in the community, supporting many local charities and giving back to many local organizations. “When we bought the business from Jock McKinnon he was the President of the Chamber of Commerce.

— The Langley Times Monthly Young-At-Heart Section | June 2011 — time. By late summer, the fruit trees in the orchard sagged with apples, pears and plums that turned darker and sweeter depending on how hot the summer was, a luscious bounty for pies and jams, or eaten fresh. Some of those trees still exist, their ancient limbs covered in sleeves of tangled moss, their blossoms still as fragrant, but the fruit not as abundant. Towering above them stands a magnificent oak planted in 1939 by the little girl’s father to commemorate the visit of the King and Queen of England. She remembers running by the big tree to play indoors where she liked to clomp around the house in her mother’s shoes, and play store with her father. She would wear mother’s apron because it had deep pockets in which to keep her money. She had real coins, mostly pennies and nickels, and bills cut out of pieces of paper. Today, the little girl is a grown woman named Alice Johnson whose memories remain crisp. Time has not erased the appreciation of that bygone era which remains as strong today as it was in those halycon days. A staunch defender of Langley’s treasures, particularly those housed in Willoughby where she has lived most of her 75 years, Alice’s affection for her community is as strong as ever, grounded on the spot where her father, Eskil, and her mother, Sophia, built the house in which Alice and her brother, Brian, still live. But the 20 acres have been whittled down, sold off here and there over the years, so that now Alice and Brian are down to 2.59 acres. The house lies nestled between the road and the oak and the fruit trees and a gorgeous flowering chestnut. Stand outside, and the evidence of how the landscape of Willoughby has changed is unmistakable, the brash intrusion of urbanization relegating the sights and sounds of pastoral living to memory. The remnants of the 20 acres are still in farmland, fields, small woods and a few houses. Beyond the road, looking south across 80 Avenue, is the Langley Township Events Centre, a $55 million facility with a blank, grey concrete facade. That’s progress. To the northeast lies the Mormon temple, built appropriately on the highest ground in the municipality. Inside the old homestead, the outside world and all its changes and nuisances are blocked out, but step outside and the continuous drone of 200 Street traffic drowns out the expectations of rural living: grunting pigs, clucking chickens and mooing cows. Alice’s mother was born in Durham, England, in 1899, and died in 1981. Her father, born in Ek, Sweden in 1894, died in 1965. The couple married in First United Church, Vancouver, and quickly fell in love with their 20 acres in Willoughby, lured by its rolling meadows and forests of fir, cascara and alders. They built the house in 1927; additions have been tastefully done so that the original look is preserved. It’s no wonder their children couldn’t part with it, either. “My parents used to remark that they could not get rid of the kids,” Alice said, walking with a visitor through the buttercups to the remains of the orchard, in which a King pear and cherry tree survive, along with Gravenstein, transparent, and Wealthy apple trees. Alice grew up, went to secretarial college and worked for employers in Langley, Vancouver and Abbotsford. At her parents’ urging, she rented an apartment in Vancouver for 20 years, but there was something about Willoughby that constantly called her home. It proved fortuitous. continued on next page

What to ask your Doctor about your prescription Seniors who are seeing multiple doctors are at increased risk of medication problems. Try to ensure that older adults have one doctor overseeing all of their medications. Also, look for an independent pharmacy or a specialist in geriatrics, geriatric pharmacotherapy and the unique medication-related needs of the geriatric population. Home Instead Senior Care® has put together the following list of questions that seniors and family caregivers should ask a doctor about their prescription(s). - What is the name of this medication and why do I need it? - What is this medication supposed to do? - What is the correct dosage? - How does this drug interact with other medications I am taking? - How do I take it - with or without food?
- When do I take it - a.m. or p.m.? - What are the benefits and risks of the medication? - What are the side effects of the medicine, and what do I do if they occur? - What food, drinks, other medicines or activities should I avoid while taking the medicine? - How often must the doctor check the medicine’s effects? For example, checking your blood pressure if you are taking a medicine to lower it, or having a laboratory test done to make sure the levels of medicine in your blood are not too high or too low. - Do I need a refill and how do I get one? - Is there written information I can take home about the medication? (Most pharmacies have information sheets on your prescription medicines.) Home Instead Senior Care

Alice Johnson continued As her mother lay ill in the final weeks of her life, she told Alice how comforted she was that her daughter was home to look after her. Friends and family, but particularly good parents, were always good reasons to come home. “I had a good relationship with my parents and could share things with them which I don’t think a lot of children can now,” she said. At some point, she moved from Vancouver and came home to stay. The countryside is in her blood, and while its diminishing scope fails to dilute her passion for Willoughby it is stirring fears that unrestrained development will scar not only the landscape, but the people housed on it. The first school she attended was further east on 80 Avenue, just off 208 Street. Now a preschool on the grounds of Willoughby Elementary, it looks out on a very different 208 Street, one that is clogged with traffic carrying people and goods from south Langley all the way to 96 Avenue. Trees are falling like dominos as one new house nestles tightly against another. “It’s far too fast and I think that is going to be one big bone of contention when the election comes up,” Alice predicts. With such rapid urbanization, she fears that people simply will not mix into the community, not the way they used to when she was a little girl. Then, even though homes were scattered, its people attended community events, drawn by the shared passion of preserving ties. This ideal, born of an era when life was less fast-paced, have made Alice the keeper of Willoughby’s heritage. It probably explains why she can’t leave. The land she shares with Brian is worth a small fortune. They could live in more luxurious surroundings, but for someone like Alice, trading a treasured old homestead for a luxury condo when you’re so firmly anchored by your roots, is unthinkable.

“We were staying in a hotel and the only TV station that worked was CNN, and this was during the Simpson trial,” he said. “And there was nothing else on.

The Metro Vancouver club has operated exchanges with France, England, Japan, the United States, Vietnam and Australia, since its beginning in 2005.

LANGLEY SENIOR RESOURCES SOCIETY
THANK YOU EVERYONE!
Young people in Langley will now have a chance to sing, dance and act with one of the world’s largest theatre arts programs. StageCoach Theatre Arts School is opening a new location in Langley at the Langley Evangelical Free Church, joining some 700 schools operating all over the world. Langley Principal Kim Stordy says the new location will give children in the Fraser Valley access to excellent fine arts training. “It’s a lot of fun for the kids and a great education for them in the development of life skills and communication skills,” she said. “It helps their confidence and self-esteem. Kids who are shy really come out of their shells.” First started in England in 1988, StageCoach made its Canadian debut three years ago in Vancouver and has since expanded to Richmond, Coquitlam and Surrey. A new location in North Langley is also being considered for the winter of 2012. There are no auditions to join and small class sizes, giving each and every student the attention they need to hone their skills. StageCoach operates on three terms a year, following the public school calendar. Classes run for three hours Saturday mornings and afternoons, and are divided into one-hour increments for singing, dancing and drama. Younger students are in half hour blocks instead of the full hour. Professional instructors guide the students through a broad set of skills, mainly musical theatre oriented, including voice structure and breathing exercises, roll playing, ballet, jazz and hip-hop. They incorporate the use of many props but try to stay away from flashy costumes to help keep the cost down for parents. In the end of first term, the students put on a presentation to families and friends that combines all three disciplines into one show. At the end

of the second term, they put on an individual presentation with a more personal touch. In the UK, advanced students create actual productions, something which Stordy hopes the Canadian locations can evolve into as well. Stordy first discovered StageCoach in Vancouver when searching for fine arts classes for her granddaughter. She watched her granddaughter thrive in the classes and became very involved with the school, leading her to open her own studio in Langley. “My granddaughter just loves it. She’s our little dancing queen and drama diva,” she said. With only 15 students per class, and classes for next year already half full, those interested should register quickly. “It’s really high demand,” said Stordy. “Parents say the school is excellent because it is all three disciplines.” An open house will be held Sept. 17 for parents and students in the newly renovated space at the Langley Evangelical Free Church, 20719 48 Ave. StageCoach will also be at the Arts Alive festival in downtown Langley City on Aug. 20. To register, go online to www. stagecoachschools.ca/langley or call Kim Stordy directly at 778-240-5915.

Zdenek Skoumal, chair of Kwantlenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music department, says the new undergraduate music degree will allow students to continue their studies in the Valley, without having to switch to a different post-secondary school.
Kwantlenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music program expands Beginning this September, Kwantlen Polytechnic University will offer an undergraduate degree in music. The Bachelor of Music in Musical Arts degree program (BMMA) will offer traditional music courses, such as music theory, ensembles, and private lessons, but it will also include practical courses, such as the business of music, music pedagogy, and the psychophysiology of music performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One feature of the Kwantlen music degree is a career-focused curriculum that supports a high percentage of self-employed
individuals in the cultural marketplace,â&#x20AC;? said Zdenek Skoumal, chair of Kwantlenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music department. The BMMA will teach flexible skill sets and lasting strategies for economically rewarding careers in arts and culture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, students would be eligible for entrance into a professional development program after graduation,â&#x20AC;? Skoumal said. The BMMA degree will develop abilities needed to succeed in a variety of musical careers by providing diverse vocational, educational, and life experiences, including ensemble
concerts, festival appearances, practicums and forums. The programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to creativity, innovation, personal, intellectual, and performance development will foster lifelong learning. The broad-based program will mentor students through professional activities and engagement in the vibrant musical life of the Kwantlen communities. Practicum opportunities will also be available to students in several streams of the program. For more information, contact the KPU music department at 604-599-3314.

Work ethic drives McLean
GARY AHUJA Times Reporter
While he certainly is athletic, Jeremy McLean is not one of those naturally-gifted athletes who can coast on athletic ability alone. McLean is definitely athletic, but talk to his coaches and one thing is very clear: work ethic is a key cog in what makes him successful on the football field. When Cliff Freeman first coached McLean a few seasons ago, McLean was about the middle of the pack when it came to the speed tests. But soon, McLean was among the fastest players on Freeman’s team. And that describes McLean perfectly: a hard worker who wills his way to success. “He has worked his way up to where he is,” Freeman said. “Good work ethic, good kid. “He is one of those guys, whatever he does, he will probably be successful just because he has such a hard work ethic.” Freeman has coached McLean the past three years Joe Butorac Photographic Design with the Langley Minor Langley Mustangs’ Jeremy McLean goes airborne during a game against the Victoria Football Association.

‘Huge honour’ to carry flag GARY AHUJA Times Sports
A local athlete has been granted a special honour. When the Team B.C. athletes march into the opening ceremonies of the upcoming Western Canada Summer Games, local beach volleyball standout Nick Del Bianco will carry the province’s flag. “It is a true honour to be selected as the flag bearer,” Del Bianco said. “In my mind, it represents leading all of B.C.’s athletes into the Games and into the competition. “I know that each and every one of us have all worked so hard and sacrificed so much to be representing our province.” The 19-year-old Del Bianco was appointed the flag bearer last week by Ida Chong, the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. The Western Canada Summer Games run Aug. 5-14 in Kamloops and the full list of B.C. athletes will be released on July 29. Approximately 2,300 athletes will compete in 19 sports. The competition features athletes from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nunavut, Northwest Territories and the Yukon Territory. Del Bianco is competing in beach volleyball. He also plays indoor volleyball and last season, his first with Trinity Western, the Fleetwood Park graduate helped the Spartans win the Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championship. He has competed in several big competitions before — in 2009, he won gold at a youth beach volleyball tournament in Switzerland and he was fourth at the U19 world beach volleyball championships in Portugal last year. But this will be his first time competing in a multi-sport competition. And he is excited for the opportunity. Del Bianco has been busy since the university season ended. Training with his partner, Ben Chow, the pair have competed in several tournaments and two weeks ago, they attended a tryout in Toronto to represent Canada at the U21 world championships in Halifax. The competition is in late August and they should find out soon whether or not they will represent their country. And in addition to competing and training, Del Bianco keeps busy coaching. He is part of a beach volleyball club, Sideout Beach, and he conducts camps in Langley and White Rock. Del Bianco also coaches a group of high performance girls from all over the Lower Mainland.

Langley Rebels players Courtney Johnson and Samantha McQuade try to make a catch against the Richmond Islanders last week. The teams were playing at South Surrey Athletic Park. The Rebels finished 1-3 in the Showcase Select Division at the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch Championships.
Road trip yields good results
Three out of four points, all of which came on the road, helped the Langley Thunder move closer to a post-season berth. The senior A lacrosse team tied the Victoria Shamrocks 14-14 on Friday night and then followed that up with a 12-7 victory the next night against the Nanaimo Timbermen. Pat Saunders (four goals, one assist), Dan Williams (two goals, four assists) and Athan Iannucci (two goals, three assists) did the bulk of
The Langley Blaze premier baseball program has been docked a dozen wins, dropping them from first place to sixth place in the B.C. Premier Baseball League standings. The sanctions are the result of a protest filed against the Blaze by the Coquitlam Reds in late June. The Reds protested that the Blaze had used ineligible players in the form of junior (U16) players who played in excess of 10 games at the Premier level. The players in question were Mason Cratty and Greg Rogers. PBL rules state that junior players may play a maximum of
the damage against Victoria. Against the Timbermen, Saunders had a hat trick, while Andrew Potter had two goals and one assist and Brett Mydske had two goals and a helper. Brodie MacDonald was in goal for both victories. The points were huge as it opened up a slim cushion in the Western Lacrosse Association standings. The Thunder (7-6-2) have 16 points, two back of second-place
nine games at the premier (U18) level and any games after that, require them to have a permanent roster spot on the team’s PBL roster. “The intent is to bring (junior) players up for one or two or three games, to give them exposure,” explained Ted Hotzak, the league president. Rogers played just two games for the Jr. Blaze while Cratty suited up in four. But at the PBL level, they have played in 28 and 31 games. “If a junior player plays more than 10 games, he is a senior player, you have just hidden them (on the junior roster),” Hotzak said. “Some of the rules might seem picky and trivial, but at some point in time,
someone stretched it.” Premier teams have an allotment of 22 roster spots and since Cratty and Rogers exceeded the nine game limit, that pushed the Blaze to 24 players. As a result, the Blaze’s record was amended for that 17-game span, in which they went 12-5. This affected games between May 22 and June 23. The Blaze and Reds played four times this season, with Langley winning all four. But three of those victories came in that time frame and have since been overturned. The decision to vacate the wins was made by Hotzak, Clyde Inouye and Troy Carmont, who make up the league’s executive

management committee. Their role is to enforce the league’s rules, which are passed by the 13 general managers. For any rule to pass, it needs at least 70 per cent approval, which equals nine votes. Langley, which was in California for a tournament at that time and could not respond immediately, filed an appeal on Sunday (July 10), citing lack of clarification in the league’s roster rules regarding violations and subsequent penalties, as well as the way the format was submitted. But the league ruled on July 11 that they had upheld the Coquitlam protest and subsequently docked the Blaze the dozen

wins. The appeal was upheld by a threeperson independent panel, not associated with the league. Langley coach Jamie Bodaly said the team was disappointed in the league’s ruling. Since the club routinely loses multiple players to the Canadian junior national team program for weeks at a time, and then loses more players when they are drafted in June, only carrying 22 players is not feasible, especially considering their overall schedule — with league, exhibition and tournament play — can reach 140 games. There are only 48 league games. Bodaly said it would have been easier to accept the
pushed for a higher roster limit since they routinely play a much bigger exhibition and tournament schedule than their counterparts. “They violated the league roster rules,” said Reds head coach Kyle Williams. “They league has a precedent going back to last year when a team was found to be using ineligible players and they’ve obviously stood by that ruling.”
The two organizations have had a frosty relationship in the past but Williams was hoping they can both move on. “I hope we can get past this at some point,” he said. “We need, as coaches, to be able to get along and get on with just coaching. “The near term might be difficult ... maybe the off-season is the best time (to discuss it).”
“But we have to be role models for the kids on the field and do what’s best for them, first and foremost.” With two games remaining in the PBL season, Langley sits at 23-23 — instead of 35-11 — and in a fight to qualify for the postseason. The Blaze close the regular season this afternoon (Tuesday) with a doubleheader in Victoria against the Eagles.
Langley sits in sixth spot,but can finish anywhere from fourth to tied for eighth spot. The top eight make the post-season, which begins this weekend, and the top four advance to the BCPBL championships July 29-31 at Nat Bailey Stadium. The Blaze have won the past three PBL regular season championships. — with files from Larry Pruner/ Black Press

Whitecaps rally to draw Force
HOLDING
YOUR
Nearly 1,500 soccer fans were on hand at McLeod Park on Friday night as the Vancouver Whitecaps and Colorado Force battled to a 3-3 draw. The Whitecaps women’s soccer team spotted the Force a 3-0 advantage in the game’s first 21 minutes. “The first 45, we obviously came out very flat and made mental errors,” explained ’Caps coach Hubert Busby Jr.“And for the first time, I think we played with a little bit of fear, which is something we haven’t done all season.” The second half was a different story, as Vancouver picked up the pace and mounted their comeback, scoring three times in a dozen minutes. Carrie Patterson had the first, while Leroux scored the other two. Busby said the support of the great crowd was a factor, saying, “they were very supportive; even when we were down, they tried to rally us a bit and I’m sure that played a big part in our comeback.”

Quality Since 1904!
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?
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.
