STOMPING GROUNDS

Langley MP’s motion supported unanimously in House of Commons

Announcement made by premier Clark worth an estimated $50 million

Staff Writer

The campaign against the murder and mutilation of Tanzanian adults and children with albinism was unanimously supported by the Canadian House of Commons on Wednesday, Oct. 26. Members of Parliament supported a motion by Langley MP Mark Warawa that condemns the attacks on adults and children with albinism for their body parts, expresses the support of the Mark citizens of Canada Warawa for people with albinism in Tanzania who have been the victims of such attacks, urges the Government of Tanzania to prosecute perpetrators of these crimes “actively and aggressively” and calls on Tanzanian authorities “to take immediate action to prevent further violence against persons with albinism and to bring to swift justice those who engaged in such practices.” Warawa called the practice of hacking off body parts of people with albinism for sale to witch doctors who believe they possess magical powers an “unimaginable evil.” To date, there have been 76 documented attacks resulting in 62 murders and 14 survivors. Only five of these cases have resulted in convictions in Tanzanian courts. “Albinos are known as zeru zeru, meaning invisible, inhuman, a ghost,” Warawa said.

Paying homage to a famous episode of I Love Lucy, a team of women identified only as “Lucy One, Lucy Two and Lucy Three” took turns crushing grapes into juice with their bare feet at the second annual Monster Mash Grape Stomp competition. During the event held at Township 7 Winery on Sunday, Oct. 30, the team of Lucys filled six wine bottles with grape juice in just over 15 minutes. Proceeds went to Critter Care Wildlife Society.

Langley’s fast-growing Willoughby district will get two new schools, Premier Christy Clark announced Monday. The commitment to build a new elementary school, a new middle school and to buy land to build one of the schools on is worth an estimated $50 million. It was part of a $353-million capital plan for 19 projects that include new schools and expansion of some existing schools in communities with the fastestgrowing student populations. The premier announced it while standing in front of a group of children at Surrey’s Hazelgrove Elementary school. “There are school districts in our province that have experienced tremendous student enrolment growth in recent years, and are in need of funds to expand current schools or build new ones,” Clark said. “That’s why we are taking action today.” Langley district school trustees were on hand for the announcement. Board of Education Chair Stacey Cody said the Langley announcement was the result of five years of lobbying by the district. “It’s going to be more than what we had hoped for, more than what we ever could have imagined,” Cody told The Times. continued, PAGE 4

Move still on for Langley group home residents Provincial government agency relocates three residents to Abbotsford over family objections DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

The recent shakeup at the government-owned Community Living British Columbia agency (CLBC) will not change the fate of three Langley group home residents facing a forced relocation. CLBC CEO Rick Mowles was fired last month (October) amid reports of families being pressured to accept home-stay placements instead of group homes with 24-hour staff.

His replacement, Doug Woollard, acknowledged that there have been cases where CLBC did not consult adequately with the relatives of group home residents and promised the government agency would aim to reach agreements with families before changes are made. But that has made no difference to the Langley case, where the agency has chosen to transfer three middle-aged men with severe developmental disabilities from their Langley group home to less expensive

if the new home will have the same degree of security as the Langley residence, which locks down at night to keep the men from running away. The families of the three men, all over 40 years of age, warn they lack impulse control and can become violent outside a structured, stable environment. Mills said she has warned the new caregivers that her brother is a “runner” who will flee under stress. Mills has been told the new house will have security measures, including time locks, but she is still worried. The move was ordered after CLBC, the provincial Crown agency that funds services for adults with developmental disabilities,

accommodations, despite resistance from their families. “It’s all still the same,” said Diana Mills, sister of one of the three men. “The move is still happening.” The family has been told the three men will be moved to Abbotsford, likely by the end of November, once the renovations on their new home are completed. “At least they’re keeping the three guys together,” Mills said. Some of the support staff will be moving with the men, taking jobs with the new service provider, Mills has been told. The new group home, like the Langley location, will be in a quiet semi-rural area. But Mills said it isn’t clear

insisted the managers of the Langley group home reduce their rates by more than 20 per cent. CLBC issued a written statement which said the situation at the Langley group home was an “exceptional situation where our business arrangement with the service provider is changing and CLBC does not own the home.” “CLBC worked diligently for over a year to reach an agreement with this service provider [before deciding to move the men],” the statement added. The opposition critic for Community Living BC, Powell River-Sunshine Coast NDP MLA Nicholas Simons, called the Langley case a “blatant” example of cost-

cutting at the expense of quality care. Simons said CLBC’s own statements show the amount of funding for individual clients has dropped every year since 2006, from $51,183 to $45,320 and it will drop further because the agency is trying to cut $22 million from its budget. Under opposition questioning in the legislature, Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux announced a review of the way all provincial services go to developmentally disabled people. Cadieux rejected the NDP’s call for a moratorium on group home closures. — with files from Tom Fletcher/Black Press

Langley Superintendent of Schools Cheryle Beaumont called the announcement “a really, really important day for Langley. “We’ve worked hard for it.” It was not immediately clear if one of the new schools will be built on land acquired in the controversial land swap that called for a school site in Langley’s Routley neighbourhood to become a park, while adjacent parkland would become a townhouse development.This is in return for property in the Yorkson neighbourhood of Willoughby. Langley Teachers’ Association president Gail Chaddock-Costello was pleasantly surprised to hear the province would fund two new schools when rumour had it the district was in line for only one, a middle school. Chaddock-Costello called the decision “really progressive” and described the new schools as “absolutely essential.” Langley MLA Mary Polak said the two new schools are “desperately needed” and gave the Langley school district credit for working with the province to get the schools funded. Rich Coleman, MLA for Fort Langley – Aldergrove, called it “very welcome news.” The province estimates the projects will create an estimated 1,850 jobs. They include six new elementary schools, one new middle school, two new secondary schools, four school additions, and the purchase of six school sites.

Dispensary bought from illegal grow ops: Cooke DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

An RCMP claim that the Langley medical marijuana dispensary obtained product from illegal pot growing operations has drawn a strongly-worded denial from the owner. The charge was made in a written statement issued Tuesday (Oct. 26) by Superintendent Derek Cooke, the officer in charge of the Langley RCMP detachment. “There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the drugs being sold at the dispensary came from illegal marijuana grow operations, and anyone who has been impacted by such an operation knows what a blight they have been on our community,” Cooke said. The statement went on to refer to the “black market drug trade” without quoting Cooke directly. Dispensary operator Randy Caine denies any involvement with the big grow ops that supply drug traffickers. “That’s a bold-faced lie,” Caine said. “I find this really insulting.” The dispensary, Caine said, only bought from small “mom and pop” growers who signed exclusive contracts promising they would only grow for the dispensary. The superintendent is well aware of that, Caine said. “I spent an hour and 45 minutes with Derek Cooke a year ago last August and I showed him all the paperwork.” A copy of the contract provided

to The Times shows the dispensary was paying growers $1,800 a pound, an amount Caine says is well below black market rates. Last Tuesday, Caine, who is running for a seat on Langley City council, was charged with possession of a controlled substance in an amount exceeding three kilograms for the purpose of trafficking. The charge related to the RCMP raid on the Langley dispensary on July 19 when officers seized more than eight pounds of marijuana and what the RCMP release describes as “a large quantity of marijuana products, including cookies and candies.” Caine shut down the dispensary after the raid, then re-opened it. He shut it down a second time after he was charged last week, saying police warned him he could go to jail if he didn’t. His first court appearance is scheduled for Dec. 5, after the municipal election. The RCMP press release said investigators believe a number of the dispensary customers were not licenced by Health Canada to use the drug. “Marijuana is a very carefully regulated drug and the law does not allow for an individual to determine whom he or she believes should be able to buy it,” Cooke said. “People with a legitimate medical need [can] grow their own, or easily purchase the drug from the government’s licenced medical supplier and have it conveniently delivered to their door,” the RCMP superintendent added.

What to do with Jack If one-quarter of the households in Metro Vancouver carve a Halloween pumpkin this year, that’s about 200,000 jack ’o lanterns.At the end of the day, that equates to 1,000 metric tonnes of shrivelled and sad-looking gourds. Pumpkins tossed in the trash will end up rotting in the dump. There, they’ll generate methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that causes global warming. Two thirds of the methane in the Metro Vancouver region comes

from landfills. Keeping all those pumpkins out of the dump eliminates about 500 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, so it’s worth the effort. Metro Vancouver officials are urging residents to dispose of their pumpkins in compost bins where worms will get to work, providing nutrient-rich compost that that can be used to grow next year’s pumpkin. They also suggest digging a shallow trench in vegetable or flower

gardens and dropping in shredded pumpkin chunks. Fill in the trench. As the pumpkin rots, nutrients will nourish the ground and act as an excellent, natural fertilizer. Residents of Langley Township can add their pumpkins to their yard trimmings container for regular curbside pickup. This service is not available in Langley City.

WE SAY

THEY SAY

No need for inquiry

There are two sides to re-electing incumbents

angley Township council should dispatch the idea of a committee of inquiry to the round file, when a notice of motion by Councillor Grant Ward comes up for discussion at next Monday’s meeting. A committee of inquiry would add nothing to the facts already gathered through numerous expensive inquiries into Mayor Rick Green’s conduct involving a brown envelope, and would be a complete waste of time and public funds. There is more at stake than the wasting of tax dollars. All the motions, counter motions, lawyers’ investigations, RCMP investigations and special prosecutor decisions have involved an inordinate amount of council and staff time. That means they have not been devoting that time to the many pressing needs within Langley Township. This inattention to the Township’s business does not serve anyone well, and is a slap in the face to taxpayers, who have been asked to cough up more and more each year. The Township is a large and growing community, and demands for services far exceed the resources available. Another factor to be considered is how an inquiry would impact the ability to attract talented senior staff to work at the Township. Few capable people in municipal management ranks are willing to come to work in a community where members of council are openly feuding with one another, and trying to score cheap political points. They prefer to work in a community where the council and staff share a vision and a work ethic to make their community the best that it can be. The new Township council, which will be elected on Nov. 19, should be a council that wants to go forward, not resurrect the past. It needs to be made up of members who will be willing to work with whomever the voters select — even someone they campaigned against. Ultimately, it is Township voters who decide which candidates are the ones they want to oversee their business for the next three years. There are three capable candidates for mayor, and another 27 for the eight councillors’ positions. Voter participation needs to be as extensive as possible. The Times has posted videos at www.langleytimes. com to help voters make decisions, and will be publishing candidate responses and interviews with mayoral candidates in coming weeks. Check them out, and decide to vote.

Ward continually shows disrespect Editor: Snoozers or doers? Who gets your vote? Councillor Grant Ward was obviously not listening to the debate at Monday’s council meeting. He attempted to make his notice of motion to waste more tax dollars on lawyer fees, while the rest of council was discussing the future of grow-op houses. Mayor Rick Green irritated powerful people when he re-opened the Brownshak debate.

His comment that “he was surprised,” when he really wasn’t surprised, has caused him immense grief. He apologized, and that should have been the end of it. Ward’s notice of motion on Oct. 24 is just a continuation of his negative attitude. Ward voiced his decision not to co-operate with the mayor immediately after the last election and has been true to his word, disrespecting the voice of the electorate.

Mayor Green has been working on vast improvements for the residents of Langley Township and has accomplished most of his election promises. Just imagine what he could do if he had a council that wasn’t stabbing at his back, or snoozing. Sue Leyland, Langley

Critical decisions to be made in this election Editor: Appearing on the horizon is something none of us can ignore. Like something rising out of the morning autumn mists over Langley’s fields, the upcoming November election is just beginning to be noticed by people in our area. It’s easy to see how our busy lives push elections onto the back burner, as we carry on with our everyday patterns of work and rest. Reality, though, needs to take a big step forward from that back burner up to the front of our conscious minds. There are some very critical decisions to be made in this coming election. It is time to put ourselves on the alert. Frankly, I have been deeply troubled by some of the actions, and inaction, of the present council (with the exceptions of Grant Ward, Mel Kositsky, and Charlie Fox, each of whom I commend for their courage in challenging Mayor Rick Green

on some of his actions, and in calling for an inquiry into these actions). Like leaders in any situation, so much can be influenced by the tone and character of the individuals who head the pack. My feeling is, we need to change much of this council, and the mayor in particular. However, replacing the present council with a slate is not the way to go. The presentation by Mayor Green of a selected slate of candidates to support his directions and goals is not the direction we should be taking. Slates always seem to channel thinking into a narrower, less open-minded approach to governing. Discussion slides into compliance, and ideas get supported for the sake of the team, rather than council members thinking for themselves, standing for or against something based on careful reflections on concerns and ideas.

I urge Langley voters to do several important things. One: Make certain that you vote, no matter how busy you are. Second: Seriously consider the consequences of a collective slate, rather than a group of diverse individuals who will bring balance and discussion back to the council chambers. Third: Spend some time thinking about the Langley that we want to live in now, and in the future. What land will be protected? Are the concerns of your candidates supporting healthy choices for our community? Who has the experience and selfless attitude that will consider the ideas and feelings of all of us. Change is essential when we fully realize that something we hold precious is being affected in damaging ways. Linda Muttitt, Langley

Citizens want choices in BC Hydro meters Editor: The BC Liberals’ attempts to silence the growing Smart Meter controversy failed at the Union of BC Municipalities convention, with delegates voting for a province-wide moratorium. Could the heavy-handed, dictatorial edicts of Rich Coleman and the Liberals have actually prompted this clear vote for democracy, pushing back this denial of democratic process, denial of human rights, and denial of freedoms and liberties enshrined in our Canadian Charter? This is, of course, not the first time the Liberals have attempted to force an unacceptable political position onto B.C. residents without consent or due process. The dust has hardly even begun to settle from the HST fiasco. But it is obvious that the BC Liberals have long held total disregard for citizens, and pay little heed to our wishes and concerns except when they want our vote. The right to live freely and safely in Canada was hard-won by our forefathers in the last two Great Wars. And those rights were upheld and protected by UBCM delegates. But Coleman is not interested in concerns from local govern-

ment. He has stated that the BC Liberals and BC Hydro will ignore the municipalities’ vote for a moratorium, ignore the voice of the people. Our democratic rights and freedoms will still be severely damaged by the BC Liberals as they continue to force smart meters onto every home without consultation, choice, due process, oversight, attempting to use intimidation and bullying tactics to silence discussion and dissent. These issues have raised questions about legality and corruption and political connections which benefit only those in power at BC Hydro and within the government, as described in The Tyee and Watershed Sentinel articles: http://www.thetyee.ca/Opinion/2011/03/07/SmartMeterProfits/ http://www.watershedsentinel.ca/ But is it beyond the point of no return, as Coleman claims? Thousands of people have chosen to defend the right of choice on their own property. They have boxed in their meters to stop the changeout, while still leaving them accessible to meter readers. If enough people

do this while continuing to pay their Hydro bills, will BC Hydro throw them into the dark? Is this what we really have to worry about, or should we be more concerned that the BC Liberal action is throwing us into the Dark Ages? Doctors’ diagnoses of various medical conditions recommending avoidance of pulsed, manmade radiofrequency electromagnetic fields are being ignored. People with electrohypersensitivity, a condition characterized by severe reactions to wireless radiation, similar to a peanut allergy, are being ridiculed and attacked, even though the Canadian Human Rights Commission recognizes this as a legitimate medical condition. People who want the right of choice for their homes are signing the online petition at Citizens for Safe Technology Society as well as using the hard copy petition in their neighbourhoods. We thank John Horgan, NDP energy critic, who continues to present these petitions in the Legislature. Una St.Clair, Langley, executive director, Citizens for Safe Technology Society

ASK FOR REBATE Editor: Like many, I was also “out of service” last weekend. I pay over $100 per month for the (basic) bundled Shaw services. For one and one-half days, that comes to five bucks. The least Shaw could do is to give everybody affected a $5 break — and to establish a principle to do this in future. I spoke to a Shaw customer representative, who at first did not seem to know about this outage. But after some checking that I was not faking it, I was offered a “break” for a week, about $21. This is much appreciated. All together now, call 604-629-8888 — but remember, you may be put on hold for 15 minutes. Jacob de Raadt, Langley

ENOUGH PETTINESS Editor: To all Township residents, I think we’ve had enough pettiness in council. Let’s think before we vote this time. If we vote independent, then we all have a voice in council, because they need us behind them to stay there. If councillors only vote how they’re told to, they are like a puppet on a string. Think before you vote. Who do you want to run our wonderful Township, with no childish bickering this time. Come out and vote, and have your say. S. Douglas, Aldergrove

CANINE THANKS Editor: I recently had to spend some time at the Albatross Veterinary Clinic. I was very sick and I received the utmost care and attentiveness from Dr. Zwamborn and his staff. My humans are writing to thank them all very much for that. My stay was made as comfortable as possible, considering that it was a traumatic time for me and my family. Everyone was so kind, understanding and attentive. Dr. Zwamborn went the extra mile to tend to me and help my family. “Harrison” Angel Tailleur, Langley

Editor: I read Chris Olewinski’s letter regarding the trustee elections (The Times, Oct. 27), and would like to correct a few factual errors. The Langley Teachers’ Association has been gathering information on all trustee candidates, on behalf of Langley teachers. It is true that we have recently selected candidates — to endorse to LTA/BCTF members only. Our executive committee reviewed past voting records and responses to specific questions, to determine which candidates would be the strongest advocates for public education. We will provide advice to Langley teachers and BCTF members living in Langley, on that basis. This is not a public campaign, and we are not funding the trustees we have endorsed

— they are all self-funded. We do not pretend to control any candidates or trustees, nor, more importantly, would we want that to be the public or personal perception of any endorsed candidate. We do want to foster a good working relationship with all trustees, and ensure that the perspective and voice of teachers, the largest employee group affected by board decisions, is heard. All trustees should remain independent, prior to and following their successful elections, and capable of thinking for themselves. This includes critically engaging with all recommendations that come before them, regardless of the group presenting. It is a fact that the candidates we have endorsed have not formed a

slate. Our selection was independent and not based on any personal or private affiliations. All candidates in this election are supported and/or endorsed by various people and groups. It might be prudent to remember that even our local MLAs endorsed a group of supposedly independent trustee candidates three years ago and even placed their pictures in an ad in The Times on Nov. 12, 2008, advocating for this group of seven ‘Independents.’ Please vote on Nov. 19 for those candidates you feel will actually remain independent and take a strong, independent stand for a quality public education system. Gail Chaddock-Costello, president, Langley Teachers Association

Matteo and Jorgia Stadnik experienced a day in the life of a firefighter on Oct. 13 with staff at Hall 6 in Murrayville.

Thank you to firefighters Editor: We have never written a letter to the paper before but my family had such a wonderful experience on Oct. 13 we wanted to send a big thank you. Twins Matteo and Jorgia are in Kindergarten at RC Garnett School and filled out a safety questionnaire as part of Fire Prevention Week. Jorgia was selected by random draw to be “Fire Chief for a Day” and our family was invited to spend the day at Hall 6 in Murrayville and travel by fire truck to the firefighter training yard. It was a fantastic day and will be a great memory for years. Jorgia’s favourite part of the day was the ride in the fire truck and then putting out a

Safety stars nominated throughout the year also participated and after a busy morning we went back to the fire hall for a celebration lunch to honour them. Safety stars are a group of fire and safety smart people in the community who are celebrated during Fire Prevention Week and we were very pleased to join this group. Thank you to Chief Stephen Gamble for letting our kids run things and sit in your office.Thank you to the staff and firefighters for taking such great

care of us that day... too many to mention. What a wonderful, fun group. A very special thank you to Gary Proznick, captain of public education, and to Krista Barton, public fire and life safety educator, for organizing this day and making sure we were taken care of from start to finish. We were very impressed. We definitely appreciate what great men and women we have at the TLFD, even more so now after trying just a sample of the drills in full turnout gear, oxygen masks and tanks... heavy stuff. Thank you again. What a day to remember.

Development. He is interested in providing quality education and boosting graduation rates from Langley schools. He would also like to work towards a significant increase in the transition rate of high school graduates to post-secondary education, which he says is a key to being able to obtain good career opportunities. This includes training in trades and technical skills, and apprenticeships. He is a university executive who has a broad knowledge of the global economy, and is acutely aware of the needs of the B.C. labour market and B.C. businesses. “This global reality places a premium on secondary and postsecondary education,” he says. He also places a high value on quality standards for learning, civic engagement, sound fiscal management, open and transparent relationships and public accountability.

2 0 1 1 c iv i c e l e c t i o n The Times has asked two questions of the candidates running in the Nov. 19 local elections. Almost all of them have responded, and their answers provide more information to potential voters.This pull-out edition, which can be saved for future reference, features answers from candidates for Langley City council and Langley Board of Education. Responses from canddates for Langley Township council will be published on Tuesday, Nov. 8. Langley City council Peter Fassbender, candidate for mayor 1. I have been clear that Langley City Council has prepared a summary of numerous studies done across the country on the issue of Amalgamation of local governments. Based on that extensive review, which is posted on the City of Langley’s Website (www. city.langley.bc.ca), I would not support spending taxpayers money on another study that would look at the same issues. If a clear Peter and new business case can Fassbender be made for another study that warrants another new study I would be prepared to consider it. Currently the rationale proposed for a study is fundamentally based on the superficial issue of why are there two Langleys, not on any viable question. 2. The only way we can hold property tax increases to no more than two percent is work diligently with staff and Council to find economies within our existing departments/budgets and to attempt to negotiate collective agreements that reflect the economic realities of City and region. In the City we are fortunate that we are debt free and direct the majority of our casino revenue to our Capital Replacement Program, thereby avoiding having to borrow any money to provide the needed capital programs for all the citizens of the City. The only other way to hold the increase at two percent is reduce services if necessary. I have supported having staff prepare a two percent budget target. Ron Abgrall, candidate for mayor, did not provide answers to The Times

Paul Albrecht, candidate for council 1. As an elected representative, I will have a duty to receive any petition from residents.

unless there was a clear mandate from the citizens of the City of Langley. This directive would need to come from City residents. I enjoy the level of service we receive in the City, be it very direct access to services from permits, to Councillors even the Mayor or the simple fact that all of our roads are safely maintained through the worst winter weather. I also have witnessed a very poor track record of legal battles in the Township municipal structure over the last 10-11 years. Not only am I troubled at seeing those costs, but there are the hidden costs of lost staff time and ineffective governance and morale that are affected. Dave 2.The City needs to plan to offset rising costs of the ser- Humphries vices that are offered at the municipal level with a well planned budget involving not only the City and its employees but also the private sector that provides many of the services we receive. Use of RFP’s and similar documents for the contracts services that are supplied to the City brings discussion and creative ideas on how to supply the same or better service for less money. Contractors are one of our best resources, let’s use their knowledge to our benefit. Also the use of our City private and public land in the future will be a factor. As costs rise we need to plan for future tax base growth. To grow this tax base may mean creative changes to land use in certain areas, whether minimum lot sizes should be looked at again or the construction of duplexes on single family lots.All these need to involve the various communities within Langley City. We must ensure preservation of our green spaces for future generations. Teri James, candidate for council 1.The City of Langley has already prepared a comprehensive report on amalgamation, including studies from other amalgamated communities and what the financial impact would be if we were to combine the Township’s substantial debt with the City’s debt free status. At this point I see no reason to support, at a cost to our Langley City taxpayers, a study on amalgamation. 2. If the non-discretionary costs to the City were more than two per cent, then service levels would have to be reduced. To suggest the use of Casino revenues to mitigate taxes by putting them towards operating in any way, is in my opinion, irre- Teri James sponsible. If we ever lost our casino revenue then we would have to raise taxes even more so to fund those operating expenses. We’re fortunate that we have the casino revenue for capital projects, so we don’t have to use tax money to fund these projects as well. Darrell Krell, candidate for council 1. No, I would not support funding such a study with taxpayer dollars. continued, PAGE 12

Darrell Krell, continued 2. I believe a two percent increase is too high. My goal is to have no increase in property taxes. A balanced budget is obtainable with prioritized spending measures in place. In these challenging economic times, we must establish a clear and decisive plan of action to maximize the value from every one of our tax dol- Darrell Krell lars. Some of the motions I would put forward would include: ❒ The Mayor and Council to lead by example by deferring any wage or benefit increase. ❒ Initiate a staff hiring freeze; and ❒ Begin dialogue on the best use of surplus capital reserve to augment any gaps in order to balance the budget. Gayle Martin, candidate for council 1. No, I would not support an independent study on amalgamation. Studies have been done over the years and from what I have read there is no evidence to support it. Given the City is debt free, why would City taxpayers want to take on the $79-plus million dollar debt of the Township plus their infrastructure needs. 2. It is expected the tax increase will be about two per cent for 2012. Having Gayle Martin said that, there are several tax exemptions given to properties in the city, I believe a closer look should be taken at those exemptions, as all taxpayers are contributing.

HEARING TROUBLES?

Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times

Karla Barton (second from left) is presented the Paul Harris fellowship by Grace Robertson and Terry Smith of the Rotary Club of Langley Central (right) and Mayor Peter Fassbender.

Local business honoured MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

For local business owner Karla Barton, one small fundraising idea has paid off with a very large reward. Barton, the owner of McBurney Junction Furniture and Interiors, is the recent recipient of the Paul Harris fellowship− the highest award given by the Rotary Club of Langley Central. Through offering Pandora bracelet cleanings by donation, she has raised more than $1,000 for the club’s Liberian project. “Our philosophy was ... if you are buying something like Pandora it’s because you have enough,” Barton said. “So we thought we’d

take an opportunity where we usually offered something for free and made it available now by donation. It was something that people could feel really good about.” The Liberian project began when Langley rotarian Terry Smith visited Liberia to help his son adopt two children. He became determined to give back to the Liberian people who helped his family by starting a project to help their small village. His goals are to provide prosthetics and aid for victims of ruthless amputations by the Charles Taylor regime, and to turn their village into a selfsufficient community. But since his last visit, the village of 2,000 peo-

ple has had an influx of 5,000 refugees from the Ivory Coast. “We have a project and a goal in mind, but when you are inundated with all of these immediate needs, what do we do?” Smith said. ‘So that’s where Karla comes in.When I told Karla my problem, that these people are dying, that these people need medicine, Karla said,‘I can help.’” Barton is continuing to do bracelet cleanings by donation to raise more money for the cause. “This was a great opportunity, not only for our business, but for our customers and our friends to be a part of something bigger than themselves,” she said.

Sleep on the plane, try the view from one of the world’s tallest buildings and be sensible about drinking the water. Those were Langley MP Mark Warawa’s advice to some local students preparing for a trip to Taiwan. Warawa, who went to Taiwan as part of a Canadian government delegation in January of this year, met with Walnut Grove Secondary students Mackenzie Lee, Lauren Klassen, Carly Southern, Alexandra Taneda and teacher Julia Bryant-Taneda a few days before their scheduled departure. If they get a chance, the MP said, the students should visit the Taipei 101 building, the landmark skyscraper located in Xinyi District of Taipei, Taiwan. The building was the world’s tallest from 2004 until the opening of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai in 2010, and it uses a massive metal counterbalance mechanism built in Canada to keep it from swaying too much, Warawa said. Warawa, who has made the 10-hour flight from B.C. to Taiwan as part of a Canadian trade delegation, advised sleeping on the flight if possible to get in synch with the local

And while Taipei is an impressively clean and modern metropolis, Warawa said they should still exercise caution drinking the water. He gave them a flag that was given to him during his Taiwan visit which commemorates the 100th anniversary of the founding of the small island nation off the coast of mainland China. The students were going to Taiwan to attend an

international conference called “Youth Can Make a Difference: Volunteer Service” along with more than 2,000 other young people from the U.S., Kenya, Swaziland, Japan and Taiwan, running Oct. 22 - 30. The students will participate in a 100 km walk-a-thon to raise awareness and money in Taiwan for vulnerable children in Africa. They will also write an 1,000word essay describing their service and will present their essays at the conference.

After collecting 2,500 lbs of food, 25 cartons of diapers and 84 pairs of shoes, Danny Halmo and his e-bike finally made it home to Langley on Friday. For the past four months Halmo has been driving across Canada on an electric bike for his B.C. or Bust Food-Bank-a-thon, collecting food and non-perishable items for local food banks.

With a wardrobe of 18 different costumes ranging from Darth Vader to Elvis, Halmo attracted quite the attention. “I loved seeing people’s reactions to it,” he said. “I was just glad we never caused a car accident.” He travelled a total of 2,500 km on his tiny e-bike, and more

than 7,000 in his accompanying van. Solar panels were installed on top of the van to power a massive battery recharger for the e-bike, which can only travel 40 km before needing to be recharged. After seeing the great success of his pilot project, Halmo is now planning to do the same trip next summer. “Just knowing that I touched somebody’s life, that I got the message out there, it just feels good. I feel like I served some purpose in my life. It’s just rewarding for me,” he said. For more, visit Danny Halmo’s blog at www.foodbankathon. com.

What’s good for cities should be good for TransLink as well. That’s the argument being made by Metro Vancouver mayors, who want the province to put the region’s transportation authority under the scrutiny of a promised new Municipal Auditor General (MAG). “I think that would fit quite naturally with TransLink, which obviously uses a great deal of taxpayers’ money,” Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said. The Metro mayors council voted Thursday to pass Jackson’s motion asking TransLink be put under the eye of the MAG to “analyze and ensure value for public dollars.” TransLink’s $1-billion annual budget comes mainly from $430 million a year in transit fares, $325 million in gas taxes and nearly $300 million in property tax, with the average home paying $228 in property tax to TransLink. “So many tax dollars are raised from the property tax, I think that’s a natural move in terms of oversight,” Jackson said. “People are looking for transparency and I think that’s fair.” She said she’d like to see an audit probe

TransLink since 2002 — well before the entire authority was overhauled by the province in 2008. That restructuring purged elected politicians from the TransLink board and installed an appointed professional board, which decides TransLink’s priorities and spending behind closed doors. Mayors have been insisting the province restore more open and transparent decision-making at TransLink. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom met again with the mayors council Thursday to discuss potential governance changes and new long-range funding sources for TransLink. “There has been some frustration expressed with the governance model,” he said. “They don’t feel they have the input they should have.” Lekstrom said he’s committed to exploring changes and to hammering out new funding sources for TransLink within 12 months. Mayors voted Oct. 7 to raise gas taxes two cents for TransLink next April and are trusting that other new sources will arrive so a property tax increase isn’t also required. The money is needed to fund the $1.2-billion Evergreen Line to Coquitlam along with a wider package of regional transit upgrades. Lekstrom said construction should begin on the Evergreen Line by late next summer, but added the project will advance as quickly as possible.

Cele

how much bus service South of Fraser neighbourhoods get compared to what residents there pay into TransLink. A spokesman for the province said TransLink is already under the jurisdiction of the provincial Auditor General, adding the new Municipal Auditor General is strictly for local governments. But a spokesperson for the Office of the Auditor General of B.C. said it can only audit TransLink’s spending of money that came from the provincial government – a tiny fraction of the transportation authority’s budget. Audits of TransLink would be best done by the MAG, if one is created, the A-G spokesperson said. Mayors council chair Richard Walton, Mayor of North Vancouver District, said some mayors had also asked what agency audits TransLink and received “circular responses.” There is also a TransLink Commissioner, which advises the mayors on TransLink’s long-range plans and has the power to veto unreasonable fare increases but doesn’t play the same role as an auditor. The planned municipal auditor has been controversial among civic leaders, some of whom worry the office may interfere with cities’ policies or priorities. Walton said the mayors’ request shouldn’t be construed as support for the MAG — the resolution notes Victoria has said it will proceed with legislation to create the new office.

WHERE SERVICE COMES FIRST

The Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to applied research and innovation with external partners enhances the quality of its teaching, and contributes significantly to the economic development of the region. Kwantlen Polytechnic University has developed a range of innovative programs, which blend skill development, theoretical education and real-world experience for impressive employability results. Last year, a student survey revealed that â&#x20AC;&#x153;87 percent of Kwantlen students found work within four months of graduating.â&#x20AC;? Of those finding work in the first four months, 44 percent nailed down a job in less than a month. Some were even recruited before graduation. Part of this success comes from the real world applicability of Kwantlenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s courses and a rigorous commitment to teaching analytical and strategic thinking along with the practical day-today skills needed to execute projects. Added to this mix is an engaged co-op program designed to both help students sell themselves on paper and to connect them directly with employers looking to hire in the business world. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all part and parcel of a real-world education, which connects the industry leaders with grads who understand their needs and have the skills to get the job done. As a university that allows for multiple interpretations of excellence, students define and design the path to success thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right for them. Their key to success is a Kwantlen University experience that transforms students into graduates who lead in their communities, and who find jobs faster and earn more, than graduates of other British Columbia universities.

At the ‘sold out’ 2011 Celebration of Excellence we recognized 58 local businesses and business people who had been nominated in 10 business award categories. During the presentations we learned that we truly do have much to celebrate in Langley, and I extend our congratulations to all nominees and the 10 award recipients.

Langley to host up-and-comers at 2011 World Junior A Challenge The world will come to Langley, B.C., this fall when the Langley Events Centre hosts the 2011 World Junior A Challenge from November 7-13. Held annually, the World Junior A Challenge brings together the top players from Canada’s 10 Junior A leagues – players from the British Columbia Hockey League, Alberta Junior Hockey League, Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, Manitoba Junior Hockey League and Superior International Junior Hockey League comprise Canada West, while Canada East is made up of players from the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League, Ontario Junior Hockey League, Central Canada Junior Hockey League, Ligue de hockey junior AAA du Québec and Maritime Hockey League. This year, Canada West and Canada East will face off with the Czech Republic, Russia, Sweden and the three-time defending champions from the United States in the quest for gold. The Russians and Swedes will be sending national under-18 teams, while the Czech team is comprised mainly of under-18 players, with a handful of 18-year-olds under consideration for their national junior team. The American side is made up of players from the United States Hockey League, along with a pair of U.S.-born players currently playing in the BCHL. Every gold medal game at the World Junior A Challenge has featured at least one Canadian team. Canada West won gold at the Àrst two tournaments, in 2006 and 2007, before taking silver in 2008 and 2009. Canada East was silver medallist in 2006, 2007 and 2010 and claimed bronze in 2008.

Sponsored by:

In its sixth year, the World Junior A Challenge has produced more than 100 NHL draft picks, including 13 Àrst-round selections: • Beau Bennett (Pittsburgh, 2010) • Alexander Burmistrov (Atlanta, 2010) • Joe Colborne (Boston, 2008) • Nikita Filatov (Columbus, 2008) • Dmitri Kulikov (Florida, 2009) • Evgeny Kuznetsov (Washington, 2010) • John Moore (Columbus, 2009) • Vladislav Namestnikov (Tampa Bay, 2011) • Riley Nash (Edmonton, 2007) • Dylan Olsen (Chicago, 2009) • Jaden Schwartz (St. Louis, 2010) • Brendan Smith (Detroit, 2007) • Kyle Turris (Phoenix, 2007) The British Columbia Hockey League and BCHL teams have played a signiÀcant role in the history of the World Junior A Challenge – the 2011 tournament in Langley will mark the third time in six years the event will be held in BC, following Trail and Nelson in 2007 and Penticton in 2010.

The Penticton Vees are the secondbiggest contributor of talent to Canada West, placing 11 players on the roster in the tournament’s Àrst Àve years, while the Salmon Arm Silverbacks (seven), Prince George Spruce Kings (four) and Westside Warriors (four) have also made signiÀcant contributions. In total, 15 BCHL teams have been represented at least once on the Canada West roster since the inaugural event in 2006. As an added bonus, a pair of CJHL Prospects Games will be held at the Langley Events Centre during the week of the World Junior A Challenge, the Àrst time the CJHL’s two marquee events will be held under the same roof. The two-game total goal series between Team East and Team West will feature the top 40 NHL draft-eligible players from Canada’s 10 Junior A leagues not playing in the World Junior A Challenge, and will be a unique opportunity for CJHL prospects to have an unprecedented audience of scouts from across North America. Player selection is a joint initiative of the CJHL and NHL Central Scouting.

WELCOME TO LANGLEY & THE WORLD JUNIOR A HOCKEY CHALLENGE Watch Canada East & West, the USA, Sweden, Russia and The Czech Republic all competing to win gold! ENJOY YOUR STAY We want to make you feel at home in our unique Downtown.

WJAC alumnus Derek Grant prepares for ďŹ rst pro season Any Canadian athlete will tell you there is no greater feeling than putting on the Team Canada jersey and hearing the national anthem. Three years ago, Derek Grant experienced that thrill when he donned the Maple Leaf and represented Canada West at the 2008 World Junior A

Challenge in Camrose, Alta., winning a silver medal. The patriotic emotions for playing for your country and the thrill of competing against one of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief rivals led to an experience Grant wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The highlight was playing Russia,â&#x20AC;? Grant said of an emotionallycharged 5-2 win in the preliminary round, to which the Abbotsford, B.C., native contributed a pair of power play goals.

Best wishes to all the teams and volunteers

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was phenomenal. The place was really loud and everyone was in Canada jerseys. Some of them may not have even been hockey fans, but they are cheering for you because you are Canadian.â&#x20AC;? Like so many of the players who came before him, and so many who have played in the tournament since, the World Junior A Challenge was an opportunity for Grant to test himself against the best in the world in international competition, an opportunity very few players get. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is deĂ&#x20AC;nitely something special, something you will never experience until you put on that Canadian jersey,â&#x20AC;? he said of the feeling of representing his country. The lone Langley Chief to represent Canada West, Grant will be watching from a distance this year as his former Junior A home welcomes the world for the 2011 World Junior A Challenge. The 21-year-old is a long way from his junior hockey days as he readies for his Ă&#x20AC;rst full season in the pro game. A fourth-round pick of the Ottawa Senators in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft after posting 49 goals and

123 points in 92 games over two seasons with the Chiefs, Grant got his Ă&#x20AC;rst taste of professional hockey in the spring with the Senatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; AHL afĂ&#x20AC;liate in Binghamton after leaving Michigan State University following his sophomore season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a tall, skinny kid but he looked like he

Final against the Houston Aeros was set to open, but with the team on such a roll and relatively healthy, the coaching staff was loathe to make any changes and Grant found himself a spectator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is probably more nerve-wracking sitting in the crowd than being on the ice,â&#x20AC;? he admitted. Derek Grant was a Langley Chief when he was selected to the Canada West team in 2008. Grant remains the lone Langley player to suit up in the WJAC tournament.

had a lot of skill and a lot of good offensive ability and instincts,â&#x20AC;? Tim Murray, Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant general manager, said of the Senatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decision to draft Grant 119th overall. Injured in Game 7 of the Senatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ă&#x20AC;rst-round series with Manchester, Grant watched from the sidelines as Binghamton claimed the Calder Cup as AHL champions. He was Ă&#x20AC;t and ready to go when the Calder Cup

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was deĂ&#x20AC;nitely hard to watch when you want to be playing.â&#x20AC;? Murray says that the 6-3, 197-pound power forward has come into his Ă&#x20AC;rst training camp with the team well prepared, thanks in part to his 21game audition with the Baby Sens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gave him a quick peek into what it takes to be a pro,â&#x20AC;? Murray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He came in here with more conĂ&#x20AC;dence and

worked hard and I think it is based on his experience with Binghamton last year.â&#x20AC;? Grantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant coach the past two seasons at Michigan State â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where Grant led the team with 20 goals and 63 points in 76 games â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sees plenty of positives in the burgeoning power forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has a lot of upside in his development, in his hockey career,â&#x20AC;? said Tom Newton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His ability to handle the puck and to make plays are his strong points.â&#x20AC;? Grant is ready for the rigors of a full season of pro hockey, which is not always as glamorous as it may appear to outsiders, especially at the minor league level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can be pretty gruelling,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As much as I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call it a job, it is work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong), you are playing the game you love and you get paid to do it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of it as a job, but it is a lot of long hours, and lots of travelling.â&#x20AC;?

• Speaker: Andrew Gregson, Author, Pricing Strategies for Small Business The common thread among business owners is that most are absolutely convinced that price is the factor which drives customers to and away from their businesses. They believe that there is one compelling factor, and only one factor, that underwrites the conditions for a sale and that factor is price alone. Very steadily, they create a price trap from which they see no way out. Well, Andrew Gregson will up-end all of that thinking on pricing. And having destroyed the conventional wisdom, he will Andrew replace it with no gimmick, solid, tried and true methods Gregson stolen from Wal-Mart, DuPont, and a hundred other businesses that will work for you that afternoon. Whatever you think you understand about pricing will be completely demolished in this talk. And you will have those ideas replaced by better ideas taken from 20 years experience. • abc Country Restaurant (19219 56th Avenue, Surrey) • Registration: 6:45 am to 7:00 am • Introductions and Presentation: 7:00 am to 8:00 am • Networking to follow.

Langley Arts Council’s Art in Found Spaces offers opportunities for established and developing artists to show their work to the community

riginal art in a range of materials has found its way to Langley’s two civic buildings. An exhibit of work by 17 local artists will officially open on Nov. 4 and remain on display at Township Hall until Dec. 17 as

part of the Langley Arts Council’s Art in Found Spaces initiative. The group of artists, known collectively as Langley Open Studio, was formed in 2008 by Betty Spackman and is now coordinated by Claire Moore.

The group, which came together to provide a creative and nurturing environment for artists, offers technical assistance, critiques and moral support to help them continue exploring their ideas, methods and materials. Among the pieces that will be on exhibit are acrylic, oil and watercolour paintings as well as photographs, giclee prints and mixed media works. “It’s all new works and most of it is for sale,” said member Jeannie Shilton. An opening reception for the Langley Open Studio display will be held on Nov. 4, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Township Hall. Enter from the second-storey parkade.

Meanwhile, a display of photographs by Grade 4 and 5 students at Langley Fundamental Elementary Schools has been wowing visitors to Langley City Hall on Douglas Crescent. The young shutterbugs covered a wide range of subjects, from portraits to animals and still life. A number of the photos have already been snapped up by City staff, said Langley City Councillor and Langley Arts Council spokesperson Rosemary Wallace. “They’ve got a lot of good response from the public, too,” she said. The rest of the photos will be for sale until the exhibition closes at the end of November.

Creating Connections Stu Richardson is gone, but his spirit lives on in his artwork — his friends and fellow artists have made sure of that. The Artists of Bernie’s Barn — a collection of painters who meet each week in an old building at the back of Bernie Major’s south Langley property — will exhibit a collection of pieces which are a unique posthumous collaboration with their former colleague. The Fort Gallery show, titled Connections, runs from now until Nov. 13, and will also feature ceramic pieces by Langley artist Kathleen McGiveron. Curated by Bette Laughy, a member of both groups, the show aims to demonstrate how the spirit of an artist carries beyond his or her lifetime, expressing the works of Richardson as they are interpreted by a group of his contemporaries. Richardson was a Surrey artist who taught in the Kwantlen graphic and visual design program for 25 years, helping developing artists grow and develop their own talent and concepts. As a result, before his life was cut short at 70, he had time to develop only a relatively small body of finished work. Richardson was a founding member of the Bernie’s Barn group. He and Major, renovated the loft of a barn to create a studio where a small group of artists have enjoyed one another’s company, inspiration and critique every Thursday for the past 10 years. One year after Richardson’s passing, his wife, Sherry, gave

Connections is the culmination of a months-long project by the Artists of Bernie’s Barn to complete several works by Stu Richardson, a founding member of the group who passed away. It runs Until Nov. 13. graph of the partly finished work and other artifacts that enabled the artists to complete the piece. Each will also display one work by the artist who completed the piece. A brief statement will tell what the process meant for each artist, how each approached the work, and how each felt working in such an unusual collaboration. For Major, it was a bittersweet experience. “I knew him so well, we were almost like brothers. I made no attempt to copy his style, I was content just to add my touch of paint to his,” Major said. “The collaborations will best seen side by side, where they show the common thread with diverse interpre-

the barn group 25 of his unfinished paintings, in various stages from sketches to nearly finished. The artists each took a couple of paintings and finished them in a blend of Stu’s style and their own, respectful of Stu’s intent and appreciative of the foundation he continued to lay down as a teacher and cowlleague. The result is a series of about 15 unique paintings. Some are very close to Richardon’s style. Others are quite different while still containing his spirit and intent. The show will contain some of Richardson’s finished works on loan to the gallery. Eight exhibits will display one or two finished collaborations, together with a photo-

tation,” said Laughy. “They are all Stu, yet more. “This is a very personal journey for me,” she said. “Stu’s death hit me very hard. He was so full of life, humour and irrepressible spirit that I simply couldn’t believe my friend and colleague of 35 years could be gone. I fully expected him to be around in his 90s, still cracking his corny jokes and world famous for his exceptional talent. Working on his paintings was like having him here again, peering over my shoulder and teaching by example how to work with colour, shape, contrast, adding little touches to brighten and create interest.” McGiveron, meanwhile, feels quite comfortable showing her ceramic art pieces as part of Connections. “I’m interested in exploring the connection between the contemporary, popular icon and the traditional, homeresiding figurine,” she said. “The sculptures I create are reproductions of figurines, or have been built under the influence of the figurine.” Animals and birds are her instinctive subject material, but through the eye of the figurines that represent the traditional family home, with the comfort of the pieces our mothers and grandmothers collected. “My pieces run in series, focusing on an animal or bird, each one unique yet each connected.” Connections runs until Nov. 13. Fort Gallery, located at 9048 Glover Rd., is open Wednesday to Sunday, from noon to 5 p.m. There will be an opening reception Friday, Oct. 28, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Tickets: ........... 604-852-3701 gallery7theatre.com The first production of Gallery 7 Theatre’s 201112 theatre season will take audiences to a time and place where ducktails and muscle cars ruled and social order was maintained through swagger and, occasionally, savagery. The Outsiders, Christopher Sergel’s stage adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s tale about youth caught in a violent clash between social classes in the 1960s, hits the stage at MEI Theatre in Abbotsford, Nov. 4 to 19. Langley’s Corryn Ginter plays Cherry, the Soc who catches the eye of Ponyboy, a young Greaser, creating added friction between the already hostile groups. When Johnny kills a Soc during an unprovoked attack, tensions between the two rival gangs simmer to a boiling point and all out war seems inevitable. Seen through the eyes of Ponyboy, a young man haunted by the poetry of Robert Frost,

It also explores the people behind the tough exterior, revealing the pain, anxiety and more importantly, the hopes and dreams that reside in their soul.” The Outsiders runs Nov. 4 and 5, Nov. 10 to 12 and Nov. 17 to 19 at 7:30 p.m. with additional discounted matinees

Gord GOBLE/For the Langley Times

For the Langley Rams’ Brad Goodchild (#64), his football team is like family. The 19-year-old has overcome significant adversity in his life, but is thriving both on and off the field.

Football fills family void Struggles at home force teen to grow up quickly GARY AHUJA Times Sports

ost athletes will tell you how teammates are their family. Sure, there may be the occasional disagreement or difference of opinions, but more often than not, family members have each other’s back. For Brad Goodchild, football and his teammates helped fill that family void that was so sorely lacking in his life. This is what happens when your father was not a part of your life and you are forced to raise your little brother because your mother is a drug addict. While most 13-year-olds live a fairly carefree life, it was completely the opposite for Goodchild. He was the one who registered his brother for kindergarten and dropped him off and picked him up for school every day. Their mom would show up for a day or two and then be gone for weeks. “We were just getting by day to day,” Goodchild said.“Not necessarily having food or money or having a place to stay.” Eventually, they were kicked out of their Surrey rental home. It had been three weeks since

charitable foundation which awards scholarships to financiallychallenged students who have overcome a significant barrier or disadvantage in their life. “The foundation wants to invest in kids who wouldn’t have a chance to go to university themselves, but who have the values that are going to make a difference in society,” explained Bob Coventry, a trustee with the Cmolik Foundation. Coventry, now retired, is also a former assistant superintendent with the Surrey School District. He knew plenty about Goodchild from the students’ teachers and coaches. “He is a compassionate, confident, very humble young man,” Coventry said. “He has a quiet confidence.” The foundation asks for students to be nominated by teachers. “They all spoke highly on his behalf,” Coventry said. The scholarship provides tuition and books for five years. Goodchild chose Simon Fraser University, largely because of the school’s psychology program. With school and work — Goodchild works as a mover — taking up much of his time, he was ready to call it quits in football. But after being spotted by the Langley Rams last spring during the Star Bowl, an all-star game for the top midget community football players, he was persuaded to join the junior football program for 18-to-22-year-olds. After a few games adjusting to the junior level, Goodchild settled in

nicely as the Rams’ centre. “It is one thing to be good at something, but if you don’t work at it, you are never going to get better, so I am always striving to get a little bit better at everything,” Goodchild said. Now, he can’t imagine not being part of the game. “Honestly, I just realized how important football was to me because it makes up that whole family thing that I lacked,” he said. “It is a brotherhood, everybody just takes care of each other.” Rams coach Jeff Alamolhoda said the team only found out about Goodchild’s background, which included couch surfing at his friends’ places until he recently found his own place in Cloverdale with a roommate, when they were collecting players’ dues. Goodchild’s brother remains with the grandparents. “It was like he didn’t want anyone to give him special treatment, giving him a special position or allowing him to miss practice, based on his situation,” the coach said. “He didn’t say a word about it, he just worked and worked and worked.” The coach described Goodchild as very charismatic. “He always has a smile on his face and he is one of those guys you can’t not like,”Alamolhoda said. “You can tell he just loves playing the game. “He is there for the love of the game and being around the guys, always smiling, super happy all the time.”

Dream come true for golden girl Local weightlifter eyes 2012 Olympics after winning Pan Am gold GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Like a typical little sister, Christine Girard followed her older sister, Caroline, into weightlifting. She was 10 years old and knew little about the sport. “For the first few months, I was just lifting a stick,” she admits. “I was learning the technique.” Eventually, she added weights to the bar and in her first competition, she lifted 32 kilograms. Last week at the Pan American Games in Mexico, the 26-year-old Girard — who was competing in the 63-kg weight class — hoisted 238 kilograms to claim the gold medal. She edged Columbia’s Esther Palomeque by three kilograms. “I was so happy, I had tears in my eyes when I heard the national anthem,” Girard recounted on Friday afternoon at Hybrid-Athletics, a new gym in Langley where Girard trains and coaches.

The medal was the first gold won at a major international baseball event at the senior level by a Canadian team. “To be going at this for so long and finally accomplish our goal is something truly special,” said Canadian manager Ernie Whitt.

2 0 1 1 c iv i c e l e c t i o n The Times has asked two questions of the candidates running in the Nov. 19 local elections. Almost all of them have responded, and their answers provide more information to potential voters.This pull-out edition, which can be saved for future reference, features answers from candidates for Langley City council (pages 11 and 12) and Langley Board of Education. Responses from canddates for Langley Township council will be published on Tuesday, Nov. 8. Board of Education, Langley City seats (2 to be elected) Candy Ashdown, trustee candidate 1. No. Nine recommendations were made over a year ago by the Auditor-General in the areas of Governance, Internal Controls and Long-term Planning. A recent self-assessment by the Board of Education admits the majority of the recommendations had not been done. Only three of the nine recommendations had been “fully or substantially” adopted. In the area of Long-term Planning, the Board admitted these had not been dealt with at all. 2. We need to develop a strong rationale to the ProCandy vincial Government demonstrating a long-term plan for Ashdown students. The plan should demonstrate the educational and financial benefits of more educational spaces in the Willoughby area. I believe we also need to establish much better communication between the Township, City and the district to avoid this from happening again in the future. Stacey Cody, trustee candidate 1. I believe that we can always do better. The Board has worked very hard to fulfill all of the nine recommendations from the OAG. We have come a long way since the OAG came in and met with the Board. Having the rotating chair has afforded each trustee to show leadership, to forge a closer working relationship with the superintendent and forced each one of us to have a greater sense of responsibility and accountability to the board and to senior staff. It has been an eye-opener. I feel there have been Stacey Cody good strides made in the area of financial reform but this too, we can improve on. The Action Plan that the trustees have in place has helped us to keep on track and moving in the right direction. I am grateful for having had the OAG work with us. We are a work in progress — but then what organization isn’t? 2. We must continue to lobby government for another school on the Willoughby slope. Trustees, senior management, school administration and community have worked hard together to keep this issue current in the minds of government — it has been very respectful on all fronts but very direct. Also,

The Langley Times • Tuesday, November 1, 2011 • 33

ommendations that the board had only partially implemented and others that it would not be implementing. The most notable of the latter is longer range planning. As both financial accountability and planning are significant deficiencies in the district, it appears clear that the board has not done enough. 2. The situation in Willoughby is a significant symptom of the larger issue of planning failure. If proper facilities planning were in place, the now urgent needs of Willoughby would have been appropriately addressed in the context of the district as a whole. As it stands right now the district is living from one crisis to another. Proper planning with less reliance on incorrect information and more forethought is required, otherwise facilities decisions are just a shot in the dark.

trustees and Township council must meet more regularly to understand both the needs of the school district and the greater community. We must work diligently together to ensure that as growth continues, there is sufficient space for students. Information to the community The questions to Langley Board of Education canmust be accu- didates: rate and hon1.

How can the need for more educational spaces in Willoughby be better achieved?

SPECIAL PULLOUT SECTION

Rob McFarlane, trustee candidate 1. Following the last election, the district was found to be in a financial ‘nose dive’ due to inadequate financial and budget controls, a lack of attention to financial matters, and several consecutive years of expenses exceeding revenues. The risk of even more serious educational damage was significant. The financial priority was Rob to finally balance the budget, begin paying off the McFarlane debt, and correct specific issues (Auditor-General 2010 report etc.) in order to preserve our student’s education. To date the district has avoided the educational/financial ‘crash landing’, begun repayment of the debt, and is correcting the issues on timelines pre-agreed with the A-G. While the causes of the district’s problems are unforgivable, progress to date is satisfactory. 2. By developing a long-term plan linking improved student success with specific actions and resources to fund those actions, a sound educational and financial case can be made to the provincial government for additional space. Board of Education, Langley Township seats (5 to be elected) Pamala Combs, trustee candidate, did not provide answers to The Times Megan Dykeman, trustee candidate 1. The current board in a recent self report on the Auditor General’s Recommendations indicated that there were areas of the rec-

Megan Dykeman

Wendy Johnson, trustee candidate 1. The board of Education has made some progress but there is still a great deal of work to do. I believe that the Board’s decision to appoint a rotating chair has resulted in a lack of leadership which has impeded its progress. 2. Communication between the Township and the school district, including meetings between Wendy Township councillors and Johnson trustees, needs to be greatly improved so that the school district is apprised of development in the area on an ongoing basis. A well-informed board is then in a better position to make a strong case to the ministry of education in regard to more educational spaces. Brian Leonard, trustee candidate 1. In the update from the A-G, there has been some progess on governance and financial reform. Given the time frame there has been some good steps forward. However the lack of vision on long term facilities planning and a general five-year plan are still concerning. It is also crucial that questions continue to be asked of senior management and new trustees that will be elected know exactly what their roles are. This will continue the strides that have been made Brian in the past year. Leonard 2. This can be achieved

by better communication with all levels of government when it comes to planning and funding. Producing a needs assessment to the provincial government should lay out a solid business case, for more schools and fast tracking the process. For now, we will live with a process which does not and will not serve the Willoughby community. John McKendry, trustee candidate 1. There is a level of feeling in the community that the board is not doing enough to implement the Auditor-General’s recommendations. I have not been privy to board discussions and board thinking; however, having served in a senior position in government, I can say that such recommendations are to be taken seriously and intended to be enacted in an expeditious manner. If there is a problem with enactment then further consultation should be sought with the A-G or ministry or both. 2. Better mid- to long term planning would have gone a long way to avoid the situation in Willoughby. The planning system software has John been available to the Board McKendry for many years and is used widely in B.C. schools. One is left with the impression that this has not been done effectively in Langley. The projected growth in this area should come as no surprise. Now it is a matter of finding the ‘best fit’ solution for that area and such a “solution” may not be the most desirable solution for the community. From unexpected deficits, changes of school mandates (Stafford), to area planning, a series of substantial issues have emerged in recent times. These “issues” raise questions about the existence of deeper problems requiring serious attention. Alison McVeigh, trustee candidate 1. The board received the Auditor Generals report 12 months ago and significant progress has been made in implementing all recommendations. An Action Plan was developed. The board has taken several steps to effectively work together. A well-respected secretary-treasurer was hired and there have been many improvements made to strengthen the district’s internal controls. While there is more work to do, Auditor General John Doyle commented recently “I am encouraged by the positive progress of the board and senior management of Langley School District.” 2. Obtaining more educational space in Willoughby Alison is my priority. The board has McVeigh taken every opportunity possible to appeal to the ministry of education the need for more schools in this area. Through these efforts, the only new school construction in B.C. was awarded to Langley last spring. The board must continue to advocate the urgent need for more schools in Willoughby to the ministry of education. continued, PAGE 34

Kari Medos, trustee candidate 1. Positive steps have begun but the election will help towards that goal by electing new people to the board table who have a proven history of working cohesively with our district. A three-year plan makes sense for an interim solution but they do need to work as expediently as possible to get our deficit turned around, and begin long term planning as quickly as possible while taking care to do things right. It’s imperative that all internal con- Kari Medos trols are put into place immediately to ensure that we never face another deficit again. 2. Through continued lobbying of the government while providing them with long range plans, demographics and credible facts which substantiate Langley’s need for more educational space by a board that works together, with senior management and the township of Langley. We need one strong and united voice to reach Victoria. Cecelia Reekie, trustee candidate 1. No. The board has made progress on some of the recommendations, and some of the recommendations are ongoing, but there is much work that still needs to be done. I would like to see all of the recommendations implemented more quickly. Cecelia 2. Additional classReekie room spaces can only be provided by building new schools, expanding existing schools, or a combination of the two. The board needs to press the ministry of education to approve these needed capital expenditures. Rod Ross, trustee candidate 1. The Board is implementing changes on governance and financial reform. While not everything in education moves very fast I am pleased how the board moved forward together. The board worked to educate itself on the role of trustee and attends to relationship building. The rotation of the board chair position has worked well for us and while it may Rod Ross not be optimum it is working for us. Regarding financial reform, we have instituted the audit aommittee and, together with our new secretary-treasurer, we are daily strengthening our financial reform.

2.The only way one can better achieve more educational spaces for Willoughby is to advocate for more schools from the provincial government. During the last roll out of Capital building money we were the only district to receive a new school. (Read: Thanks to Rich Coleman and Mary Polak). I will continue to advocate for new schools on the slope.

At every election, the public is given opportunities to quiz candidates on issues that concern them. This year, there is a change to the format of two all-candidates meetings, and one traditionally hosted by an environmental group has been dropped. On account of the large number of candidates, the duration of the sole meeting for the 27 people running for the eight councillor seats and the three vying for mayor in the Township has been extended. The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce is also introducing an entirely new format, with candidates asked how they would vote on an issue, and four of them asked to explain their decisions, in one minute each. Each candidate will get at least two chances to respond to the hypothetical vote. The chamber has also invited the three mayoral candidates in the Township (Rick Green, Mel Kositsky and Jack Froese) and the two in the City (Peter Fassbender and Ron Abgrall) to a debate that will take place during the chamber’s regular business meeting in November. The all-candidates meetings and debate are on the following days: * Langley City: mayors and councillors, on Wednesday, Nov. 2 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the auditorium of Kwantlen Polytechnic University, 20901 Langley Bypass. Note: Free parking is available in the west parking lot off Glover Road. * Langley Township, mayors and councillors, on Wednesday, Nov. 9 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre, 7888 - 200 St. • Township and City mayoral candidates, on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at the Coast Hotel Convention Centre, 20393 Fraser Hwy. This event is part of the Chamber’s business meeting. Reservations are required, and the cost is $45 plus HST for nonmembers. Call 604 530-6656. • Langley school district candidates for trustee in both City and Township, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at Brookswood Secondary School auditorium, 20802 37A Ave. This is sponsored by the Langley Teachers Association and CUPE Local 1260. The Salmon River Enhancement Society will not hold its traditional environmentally-themed forum for candidates. SRES director Doug McFee said that the group was contemplating hosting a meeting with the Fort Langley Community Association and other community groups, but the large number of candidates “made it impossible to find a format that would be fair to all concerned.” There will be one other chance to meet Township council candidates. A group of Langley Township council candidates are organizing a “meet and greet” event, so that potential voters can meet as many candidates as possible. The event will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 16 at Langley Events Centre, from 7 p.m.to 9 p.m. Candidate Sonya Paterson and several others came up with the idea, after finding out about the format of the candidates meeting being organized by the chamber. At the Nov. 16 event, there will be an introduction speech by each participating candidate, followed by an informal meet and greet.

Gators grab three titles at Valleys Strong showing for Walnut Grove runners at cross-country championships The Walnut Grove Gators were tops at the Fraser Valley cross-country championships in both junior divisions. The race was held at Aldergrove Lake Park on Oct. 26.

The way scoring works is a teams’ top five runners score points based on their finish, and the lowest overall score wins. The Gator girls scored 84 to beat out Semiahmoo, who had 116.

In the junior boys’ race, Walnut Grove had 32 while Elgin Park scored 41. In the Grade 8 race, the Walnut Grove boys’ were first overall, with a 27, while Langley Christian took second with 40. And in the senior competition, both Walnut Grove teams placed second. The Gators girls were

runner-ups to W.J. Mouat, finishing with 100 points compared to Mouat’s 88. Walnut Grove’s Ashley Windsor was second overall. For more individual results, visit www. langleytimes.com. The provincial championships are Saturday (Nov. 5) in Kelowna.

Harry HUNT/Black Press

Walnut Grove’s Ashley Windsor trails W.J. Mouat’s Alex Seimens in the senior girls’ Fraser Valley cross-country championships. Siemens and Windsor finished one-two in the race.

Opposite directions for Kodiaks, Rivermen The Aldergrove Kodiaks stretched their winning streak to five games thanks to three victories in five days last week. The junior B hockey club edged the Grandview Steelers 4-3 on Sunday at the Burnaby Winter Club to improve to 8-4-0-0 and just two points back of first place in their division. Colton Precourt netted the winner on the power play with 5:04 remaining to snap a 3-3 tie. The Kodiaks will look to continue their red-hot finish of October into November as they host the Mission Icebreakers tomorrow (Wednesday) at the Aldergrove Arena. ••••• The month of October closed much like it started for the Langley Rivermen: with trouble finding the back of the net. The junior A Rivermen scored just two goals in three games as they dropped three games last week: 7-1 to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, 4-1 to the Nanaimo Clippers and 2-0 to the Victoria Grizzlies.
