Ambassadors are back The Downtown Langley Ambassadors program kicks off its seventh season today (Wednesday.) The ambassadors will gather at 2 p.m. in McBurney Lane to listen to music by The Lounge Brothers and celebrate the beginning of their season. They will be joined by representatives from all levels of government to bring greetings to the ambassadors. The Downtown Langley Ambassador program started in 2004 under the leadership of Teri James, and Lilianne Fuller came on as the co-ordinator in 2005.The program, which has 26 members this year, is the only all-volunteer program in the province and won a Best in the West award in 2007. The Ambassadors’ primary responsibility is to show hospitality in downtown Langley. But they also undertake some crime prevention activities. In association with ICBC, the volunteers participate in the Lock Out Auto Crime Program. While the volunteers are on their walks, they report graffiti and take down unauthorized signage. This ensures that the city always looks clean and inviting to both tourists and local people alike. The Ambassador program runs from April to September. For more information about the program or to be an ambassador, call 604-539-0133.

Future students at Lynn Fripps Elementary in Willoughby couldn’t wait for speeches — Avery Zazula, Kaitlyn and Chase O’Grady got right to work at a sod-turning for the new school on Tuesday morning. Helping are (left to right) board of education chair Steve Burton, Township Mayor Rick Green, Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman, Simon van der Goes (Fripps’ widower) and Education Minister George Abbott.
Anxious future students help get school construction underway GARY AHUJA Times Reporter
With the help of some overly-anxious future students, ground was officially broken for the Lynn Fripps Elementary School in Willoughby. Local and provincial politicians, as well as neighbourhood parents and their young children, were on hand for the ceremony on Tuesday morning. Simon van der Goes, whose late wife the school is named after, was also at the event. The Kindergarten to Grade 7 school, which is expected to cost $15 million, is slated to open in September 2012. It is on 203 Avenue, east of 208 Street, “It is always delightful when we can launch construction of a new school,” said Education Minister George Abbott. “This is an investment in our future.” “They are clearly intent on getting started,” Abbott added, about the three young children — Avery Zazula, 5, and Kaitlyn, 5, and Chase O’Grady, 4 — who
had their kid-sized shovels and were hard at work digging a hole. “Breaking ground on this new school brings us closer to be able to provide more than 500 additional student spaces for families in this community,” Abbott said. “We’re adding extra classrooms to meet the needs of a growing community.” The school will have three all-day Kindergarten classes and spots for 60 students, and 18 classrooms for Grades 1-7, with space for 450 students. There will also be a neighbourhood learning centre. School board chair Steve Burton thanked the local MLAs — Rich Coleman and Mary Polak — for their efforts in helping the school get built. “We know that the school and its neighbourhood learning centre will become a hub where people gather to learn, access services, share ideas and get to know each other,” he said. “We’ve worked hard to make sure government understands the needs of our growing
LIBERAL OPEN HOUSE
community,” Polak said in a press release. She was not present at the ceremony. “Now our kids can look forward to a new school in their neighbourhood.” This is the fourth elementary school in the Willoughby area and it is expected to be at capacity when it opens. After pushing for and getting this school built, through partnering with the school district, the Township and the ministry of education, Coleman said the next step of the plan is to get a middle school built in Willoughby. “We know we will fill up another school,” he said. “Now we can concentrate on the middle school, which is next for this area.” “The ministry in conjunction with its partners, is looking at the overall needs of Langley and Surrey,” Abbott said. “They are rapidly growing school districts, so we are looking at their needs.” “We know the growth in this area is not likely to decline,” Abbott added. “We need to be thinking about it in terms of growth and demand.”
The Liberal campaign to elect Rebecca Darnell as Langley’s next MP is holding an open house for members of the community on Monday, April 18. The open house takes place at her campaign office, 6351 197 Street, and starts at 6 p.m. All are welcome to attend.

CAPSULE COMMENTS PSA tests are done on men to check the health of their prostate gland. When you are getting your PSA checked, it’s a good idea to refrain from sex for at least two days prior to the test. The ejaculation process may result in a higher PSA reading.

Autism is a serious neurological disorder in which the outcomes can be improved if it is diagnosed early. A doctor in Tennessee has developed a method of analyzing the sounds and vocalizing patterns of very young children to determine if autism may be present. Evidently, the number and types of sounds made can help make an autism diagnosis earlier. You’ve probably heard people saying that they seem to have lost some height as they get older. It’s true this can happen. Those little pads (disks) between vertebrae in the spine become drier and thinner with age and people actually will become shorter. Evidently, regular exercise can help slow this process. Young people seem to be getting the message of the dangers of unprotected sex. However, for people over the age of 50, the message doesn’t seem to be getting through as well. It is especially important when multiple partners are involved no matter what your age. Pharmacists are a good source of contraception information. If you have any questions about this matter, just ask. We can talk to you in private and give you all the information you need.

“We don’t need fancy hospitals. We need nurses and doctors.”
“I get upset when health authorities spend money not on health. “We don’t need fancy hospitals. We need nurses and doctors.” He called the recent treatment of patients in a Tim Hortons at Royal Columbian Hospital “an embarrassment” and added that longer waits for care mean patients often have to be treated for worse conditions. Government’s priorities are wrong, Majkowski said, when millions are being spent on fighter jets, while seniors live in poverty. “When we fund people out of poverty, health care will be cheaper.” “Throwing more money at (health care), as the last two governments have done, has not done much to reduce wait times,” said Green party candidate Carey Poitras. While there is a need for more doctors and medical equipment in Canada, she said focusing on preventative care and providing more long-term care beds in proper facilities will be key to reducing the cost of health care. Taking several opportunities to point out that this is an unnecessary $300 million election spurred on by an opposition coalition, Conservative MP Mark Warawa agreed there is a need for better

Seniors listen to Conservative MP Mark Warawa at Langley Seniors Village on Tuesday afternoon. Representatives from the Liberal, NDP, Green and the Pirate Party also presented their views. The federal election date is May 2. health care in Canada. He pointed to a $30 billion (33 per cent) increase in federal funding for health care provided by the current government, but added that Ottawa counts on the provinces to set health care priorities and deliver service. “Some questions are more appropriate for an MLA or provincial minister.� However, he pointed to
two instances where the Conservatives were able to take a direct role in health care in B.C. Warawa alluded to items in the current federal budget that are aimed at improving health care — including improvements to palliative care. “But we need to pass the budget,� he said, in a reference to the non-
confidence vote that led to the coming election. The government fell over the contempt issue, not over a failed budget, Darnell shot back. Also in the budget, which remains in limbo, are measures to help seniors, such as changes to the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS), said Warawa, in response to the
seniors’ question on pensions. “It’s part of the package, it’s part of our budget, to ensure it’s increased. “We need to honour seniors and ensure they have increased pensions.� “The Harper government has neglected seniors and neglected pensions,� said Darnell. A Liberal government under Michael Ignatieff would enhance and increase what’s available under the Canada Pension Plan as well as the GIS, she said. Poitras echoed the need to increase the Guaranteed Income Supplement, while Majkowski reiterated his party’s mandate “to take every senior in Canada out of poverty.� Craig Nobbs, a candidate for the Pirate party, spoke last, focusing on the main plank in his party’s platform — copyright and patent issues. The Pirate party is committed to a free and open government, he said, that would allow people access to information without having to put forward a Freedom of Information request. Nobbs added his party would ensure Canadians’ medical records “won’t be shared with agencies that don’t need them.� He warned that there is a bill in the works that would see vitamins and other nonprescription medications become available by prescription only — leading to filling fees not entirely covered by MSP.

Rivers Day, demo garden off the chopping block from PAGE 1
Councillor Kim Richter had questioned Langley’s “huge surplus,” arguing that it suggests too much had been put away in previous years. But surplus funds, finance director Hilary Tsikayi explained, are used to finance one-time capital projects, thus reducing the need to raise taxes or borrow money. The extra money also means that council will not have to cut services, reduce costs or increase user fees. Axing the hugely popular Rivers Day, held every September in Williams Park, closing the demonstration garden in Murrayville, and extending the annual maintenance closure of the Blair Recreation Centre from two weeks to three, have been avoided. The $200,000 bonanza means that the property tax increase will be kept at 3.95 per cent. At a special budget session that preceded Monday’s regular schedule of public meetings, Mayor Rick Green and

Known as the “do-some” twosome, they have helped the Langley RCMP for years, participating in programs such as Block Watch, performing foot patrols around Willowbrook Shopping Centre, and helping at bike rodeos and other community events. The couple has been honoured by ICBC and were recognized by the provincial government for their years of crime prevention service. They have been Block Watch co-ordinators in their mobile home park and taken part in Local Government Awareness Day, and Joe was responsible for repairing, painting, and hauling the Bobby Block Watch house trailer.

WE SAY
THEY SAY
Coleman on the job
Hockey is tough
F
ort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman has become known as the “go to” guy in the provincial cabinet. His latest assignment — as the new energy minister, he is to get to the bottom of what’s behind BC Hydro’s proposal for a 50 per cent rate increase over the next five years. As usual, Coleman isn’t wasting any time. He has had discussions with the top management at Hydro, and has now appointed a three-member panel to review its spending plans. He has made it clear that the provincial government, which is Hydro’s sole shareholder, wants to see an approach that doesn’t lean quite so heavily on Hydro ratepayers — those of us who use electricity on a daily basis. Coleman’s tough questions on our behalf are welcome, and are the most tangible symbol that government under new Premier Christy Clark will be different from government under her predecessor Gordon Campbell. Clark has pledged to look at fee boosts, rate hikes and taxes from a “families first” perspective, and clearly it is not in the best interests of families to pay 50 per cent more for electricity within five years. There are a number of other areas within the provincial government’s purview that need such intensive scrutiny. Among them are ferry fares; MSP premiums; the HST rate (assuming that the tax survives the upcoming referendum) and property taxes, paid to both municipalities and TransLink. Taxpayers are feeling pressured on all sides — from MSP premium boosts to four to five per cent property tax increases. Most of them have not seen wage raises for some time, and many are on fixed incomes. The province has to do more to look out for their interests than it has. At the same time, the province must foster a good economic climate and that means Hydro, as just one example, must have an up-to-date power system in place. That requires major capital expenditures. Perhaps the province could look at how W.A.C. Bennett financed some of Hydro’s early growth — through parity bonds which allowed Hydro to borrow from B.C. residents, rather than saddle all ratepayers with higher power bills, to pay for capital improvements. Voters elect MLAs to look out for their interests. It’s good to see Coleman doing just that in his new position, and to see the focus of the BC Liberal government change to become more interested in the economic welfare of all B.C. residents.

nd so ends Chilliwack’s first flirtation with a Western Hockey League franchise – not with the celebration of a championship win, or even the hopeful expectation of a next season, but with the odour of a relationship gone sour. The WHL has finally confirmed what few people doubted: that the Chilliwack Bruins are in the process of being sold. Formally, the deal is not yet done. But practically, it looks certain. The business of hockey clearly is a tough one. The arrival of the AHL’s Abbotsford Heat just down the road certainly didn’t help the Bruins’ cause. In 2008-09, the season prior to the Heat’s debut, the Bruins averaged 4,073 fans per game. They suffered a precipitous drop to 3,260 in 2009/10. The WHL’s confirmation of the Bruins’ sale leaves Chilliwack hockey fans waiting for the other skate to drop. Indications are that Chilliwack will have a team of some kind. Certainly Bruins minority owner Moray Keith would want that. His Chiefs Development Group holds the 20-year lease on the Prospera Centre. And not only does it make good business sense to have a tenant, it’s part of the lease agreement with the City of Chilliwack. The Prince George Cougars are struggling with their own attendance woes and was one of the WHL teams rumoured to be heading to Chilliwack, but the team’s vice-president says they are staying put. The Kootenay Ice was another team rumoured as a possibility. If a WHL team finds its way to Chilliwack this fall, it truly will be “a building year” – not only for the team, but also for the relationships bruised by this awkward and ungainly divorce. Fans would welcome another season of major junior hockey, but that support will be tempered. Sports franchises rely on two things: fan support (preferably through season tickets) and corporate support. Both commodities have been challenged. —Chilliwack Progress The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Tolling should not be expanded Editor: I am quite concerned about the tolls being put on these new bridges, and perhaps some of the older ones, as a means to pay for the new bridges. People who must cross those bridges for work on a daily basis will be squeezed to the breaking point financially, not to mention those on low and fixed incomes. This may well spark many unions to demand pay increases to assist employees who use those bridges on a daily basis. It is very evident that this Liberal government and TransLink decided to tear down the existing Port Mann bridge, which is a good bridge, to force people to pay tolls both ways on the new bridge. An economist at UBC said that all bridges and tunnels should be tolled. That is ridiculous. Perhaps it may not affect him, or else he has lots of money to pay those tolls. No doubt, TransLink and the Liberal govern-
ment have considered tolling the Massey tunnel and all the bridge crossings over the Fraser River, and those coming from the North Shore as well. This means they are getting desperate. These new bridges and the road construction are part of the infrastructure of B.C. and are there for everyone in B.C., and visitors as well. The Sea to Sky highway had a billion dollar improvement on it, and is free for all to use, with no tolls. Could that be considered preferential treatment for the wealthy who like to ski? Various new roads and bridges, and ferries in the Interior and the rest of B.C., operate without tolls. A small increase in the income tax for all B.C. residents would eliminate tolls on the infrastructure here as well. The bean counters should be able to crunch the numbers, do the math and determine what small percentage increase would be required
for all B.C. residents who file income taxes, to pay for these bridges and road construction over a designated time frame. This is a good way for this government to eliminate all tolls and pay that debt off very quickly. It would also eliminate another ongoing cost, that of collecting tolls. The less time it takes to pay the creditors off, the less money will be wasted in interest costs. This proposal is a winwin situation for everyone. W.A.C. Bennett, B.C.’s best premier, eliminated tolls in B.C. on all bridges when he was in office. He set a good example to follow. If the Liberal government snapped onto this idea, they would probably increase their popularity manyfold. If it doesn’t, the NDP may improve its standing by adopting it. Ernie Mason, Langley
Lack of off-leash areas is puzzling Editor: I am writing to ask you a few questions. My number one question is why does Langley have no off-leash dog walking areas? I have lived in many areas over the years and they have all had excellent walking areas. Here in Langley, we have one very dirty unkempt area at Derby Reach. It is not a walking area. It is simply an off-leash area that has been let go. I have talked to many people during my walks with my golden retrievers. I have encountered a lot of angry people who want to know why we have not been provided with an off-leash walk area. Most of them are out walking and their dogs are off-leash. They are very tired of being
harassed by the bylaw officers. I want to know why? I have tried to have a conversation, and ask these questions to Mr. Bean. All he does is quote company policy. He never answers the actual questions. By the end of our e-mail discussion, I was feeling angry, tired and very discouraged. I decided to take a few weeks off and let it rest. I decided once again to try. This was sparked by the fact that we are so uncomfortable walking in the Metro Vancouver park areas in Langley. My husband chose to drive to North Vancouver to enjoy their beautiful dog walking park. This is by far my favourite place in the
world. Unfortunately, I could not join him as I had office work to do. I knew, what with the drive and the walk, it would be at least a three-hour adventure. It turned out to be more like four and one-half hours. To me this is so sad, and it’s environmentally unfriendly. To drive a car to North Vancouver is one extra car on the road at a time when we are building bike lanes and gas is so expensive. The Metro Vancouver parks in Langley have miles of walking trails, yet not one is dedicated to off-leash walking. Laurel Pickles, Langley
Most gun owners are responsible people Editor: Re: A revealing conversatioon with an ex-soldier, (letters, The Times, April 8.) Two sentences in this letter read “Politicians should have outlawed [guns]” and “Guns could teach children to become criminals.” Guns are a part of our Canadian cultural heritage — means for livelihood, sporting goods, and tools of a trade. To outlaw guns would deprive people of their heirlooms, a portion of their sustenance, a sport, and an income. Guns are tools, just as dangerous as a kitchen knife or a car in the wrong hands. Should we ban all tools, because they have potential for
harm? There are training courses available. These are easily accessible and affordable, and teach correct usage of these tools. Many people each year pass these training courses, undergo a lengthy background check, and follow all the strict rules and regulations to own firearms. If you reach out to your local range, there are welcoming people interested in introducing newcomers to their sport. You may discover that the people you encounter are polite, well-mannered and safe — far from being criminals. As for our soldiers being in foreign countries:
to be a part of NATO, we are required to maintain a military force that can be sent to aid on peacekeeping missions. Not a single politician is promising to pull us out of NATO and relieve us of our obligations, so I’d be voting for a politician that can get our military safely home. Empty promises on reneging on our agreements, and sending our boys and girls overseas — ill-equipped and using outdated technology — to fulfill our political obligations isn’t something I can stand behind. Amy Bickley, Langley
Every baby is wanted by someone, somewhere Editor: Every baby is a blessing. But judging by what some people say, they don’t think babies are a blessing. And every baby is wanted, by someone. If the baby is not wanted by the birth The
parents, then they can give it up for adoption. I was adopted, and only two per cent of babies are adopted today. I feel very fortunate to be alive.
I am very thankful every day for being alive. Every baby feels that way. Dean Clark, Langley
BROOKSWOOD FANS Editor: Cameron Gair (The Times, March 30) rightly states that some people do not want to live in Willoughby. We do not. We chose Brookswood for the larger lots, many trees and ravines and the freedom away from close quartered ghettos. I suspect many people feel the same way and those who are unhappy with the area should move out. Maybe the physical upkeep of their property is getting to be too much and the glint of easy money from the sale of their large lots is enticing. The small local shops, medical offices, library, parks, schools and other amenities serve us well. Yes, even the septic fields work well. To bring thousands of more people into the area, will destroy Brookswood/ Fernridge and create an entirely new community, and our distinctive neighborhood will be lost forever. Langley prides itself on the motto ‘Town and Country Together.’ If this destruction continues, we might as well drop the ‘country.’ Norma Johnson, Langley

If Debbie Atkinson wishes to meet and listen to the candidates for Langley MP, she is welcome to come to the City of Langley Library on Monday, Apr. 18, between 10 a.m. and noon.

Critter Care Wildlife Society’s 12th annual dinner and auction is quickly approaching, with the purpose of raising much-needed funds for their habitat rehabilitation programs. Gail Martin, executive director and founder of the society, says the money from this event will go directly to purchasing baby formula for the busy spring and summer seasons. This alone costs the society $25,000 a year to supply. “Last year, formula, medicines like vaccines, medical supplies and what I call specific foods — like fish for the otters — was $62,000. That doesn’t even include the building of cages or anything like that,” she said. Critter Care Wildlife Society is the only organization in southern B.C. that specializes in the rehabilitation of native mammal species.

They normally have around eight. “Animals come and go, but we’ve had so many injuries this (past) summer,” Martin said, explaining the high number of animals currently in the facility. Fundraising events such as the upcoming dinner and auction are vital for the wildlife centre’s existence. “We’re just trying to get our name out there so more people recognize what we are trying to do, the importance of supporting what we do and to generate the funding that we need to keep on working,” said Darlene McKay, organizer of the event. “We don’t receive any government funding at all so these sorts of events are what we depend on, and corporate sponsorship. Without that we couldn’t carry on. So this is
really, really imperative for us.” A number of items donated for the auction should prove popular with bidders. They include: a private plane trip for two to Tofino, complete with an air tour and brunch at the Wickaninnish Inn; an afternoon of cocktails on a yacht; a limited edition Bev Doolittle print; and tickets for tourist activities such as the Capilano Suspension Bridge and the Paddlewheeler River Boat Cruise up the Fraser River.

Hoofbeats help healing MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter
A new program for cancer survivors uses relationships with horses to help ease struggles that may come with transitioning back into normalized life. Linda-Ann Bowling, master coach of Unbridling Your Brilliance in Aldergrove, says the strength of horses can be used to heal people in ways that conventional medicine cannot. Her latest program, "Hoof Beats Back to Power — let the healing continue," is designed specifically for cancer survivors, and uses the growing art of equine guided training to overcome emotional barriers within an individual. Bowling describes the method as a partnership using horses for "self discovery and self learning," by utilizing the natural behavioral traits of a horse, rather than physical riding abilities. "One of the most predominant things
that we have found in our relationships with horses is they can always get to the root of some of those emotions that are often buried or confused," said Bowling. Through what she calls emotional congruency, coaches monitor a horse's body language to reflect how honest a person is with their own emotions inside. As Bowling explains: "a horse will only feel comfortable with a human if a human recognizes that they're stressed or fearful or anxious. Where a horse doesn't feel comfortable with a human is when a human pretends that they're feeling fine. So it can be very healing for a human to be with a horse who is much more accepting that there may be more going on than they may be aware of themselves." All of the work in the program is done on the ground beside the horse. It is not equestrian based, so there are no riding skills
needed. Instead, methods such as meditation, breath work, yoga, and heart connection are used to engage the horses. Bowling says that this new workshop places an emphasis on learning to take back control of your own life, and to move forward into a new beginning. "Really the metaphor is that cancer has taken over your life so now, are you going to lead it, or is it going to lead you?" she said. Bowling describes the process as "quite an emotional experience," and says it's best for "people who are searching for something that's non-conventional — they've tried all the rest and they want to be part of a community." "Hoof Beats Back to Power let the healing continue" will be held on Friday, April 15 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Healing Heart Sanctuary- 25027 Robertson Crescent in Aldergrove. Pre-registration is required.

Spring session coming T he B.C. legislature is getting set for a spring session from the last week of April through May. Premier Christy Clark has kept her options open and held her cards close since winning the B.C. Liberal leadership in February. She is expected to announce shortly
start of that she is running in the spring session. a May byeAnd there lection, to BC Views are two fill the seat vacated by TOM FLETCHER legislative Gordon tasks that Campbell. won’t wait: passing a But a byelection $40 billion budget for would have had to be the fiscal year that has called by now to put already started, and Clark back on the front changing the format bench in time for the and date of the harmo-
nized sales tax referendum that has been announced for June. A spring session must begin with the new premier coaching from the sidelines, but assuming Clark wins in Vancouver-Point Grey, it sets up her triumphant return to square off with the new NDP leader in question period before the session ends in early June. A mail-in ballot for the HST referendum will allow several weeks for responses to be sent in. The government now says it will be August before the result is known. Clark has indicated she wants the HST question decided before a general election is called. Thus a September vote becomes the most likely scenario. The launch of TV ads by both B.C. parties is another sign of election preparations. Any new leader wants to take advantage of a honeymoon period that might be brief, and Clark’s upbeat ads with the tagline “this is just the start” set the tone. NDP leadership candidate John Horgan talks about looking forward to a campaign where he hands out brochures with his picture, not Campbell’s. But the policychallenged opposition has offered up another attack ad featuring, you guessed it, a picture of Campbell on a cereal box. For the B.C. Liberals, the policy hits keep coming. First it was increasing the minimum wage, and now Clark’s “families first” machine is moving on BC Hydro. Rich Coleman has a well-earned reputation for getting things done and he has wasted no time since Clark assigned him to the energy file. BC Hydro will continue with its application to raise rates nearly 10 per cent this year, but Coleman has begun a review aimed at paring back that and future increases expected to total 50 per cent by 2016. Coleman quickly determined that delaying the imminent launch of BC Hydro’s smart grid project would be a false economy. He is focused on two hugely expensive seismic upgrades. continued, PAGE 17

Recycling boosted through Fort Langley project It takes a community to keep a village clean and green, and businesses and residents in Fort Langley have joined forces with the Township of Langley to keep recyclables out of the landfill. A dozen black garbage cans, outfitted with special recycling trays to hold used bottles and cans, have been placed throughout the village, thanks to the success of a pilot project and the offer of a local businesswoman. Mary Martini of Starline Windows had approached the Township offering to pay for on-street recycling trays in the village. The idea was presented to the Fort Langley BIA, which agreed to support a pilot project. For 13 weeks, 13 temporary recycling containers were put
out beside garbage cans. During that time, 7,480 refundable beverage containers were collected by community members and diverted from the garbage dump, without any additional administration or operating costs to the Township. Based on that success, permanent garbage bins have been fitted with custom-made beverage container recycling racks paid for by Starline. Three new blue recycling bins have also been placed in high traffic areas and are clearly marked with internationally recognized recycling logos to distinguish them from the garbage cans. Township engineering operations superintendent Phil Banton said that the program is self-suffi-

They are for the Ruskin Dam in the Fraser Valley and the John Hart Dam on the Campbell River. Together these are budgeted at more than $2 billion and are the type of project that can encounter costly surprises when digging into the dirt. Coleman has directed BC Hydro to look at decommissioning the old dams instead.

cient, as it does not require staff time or public resources to collect and recycle the containers. The recyclables are collected by people within the community, he added. In the past, Fort Langley residents and merchants counted on long-time resident Dallas Evans to collect their recyclables. Evans died in 2008, but others have been collecting the containers, bringing them to a recycling facility. The Township is also installing recycling collection racks donated by Starline in local parks, and is looking at following the success of the Fort Langley on-street recycling project with similar options in other communities.

Here’s what Coleman told me. “It’s still Hydro’s decision at the end of the day I suppose, but certainly they’re going to have to report in to me on it, because I told them they have to.� Coleman has also appointed three senior bureaucrats to find options for savings in BC Hydro’s plan, and to report back to him by the end of June.

Housing the focus of new non-profit partnership NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
Ten Thousand Villages Canada and Habitat for Humanity Canada have joined forces for a year-long partnership to raise funds and awareness. Through a series of in-store events and
on-line promotions, the two non-profit organizations will work to raise support for the human right to decent, affordable housing and for fair trade relationships around the world. “The partnership is a perfect fit,” said Olga Nickel, who manages the Ten Thousand Villages store at 20523 Fraser Hwy.
Closely aligned by their missions and strong volunteer bases, the two charities are both volunteer driven and dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty, Nickel said. “By combining forces, lives in Canada and around the wold will be transformed,” she said. Homes built by Habitat for Humanity
provide security and so do purchases at Ten Thousand Villages, Nickel said. Her charity supports fair trade farmers and workers. “Artisans can plan for the future, secure in the knowledge of reliable income paid in advance, as well as the assurcontinued, PAGE 19

BUSINESS | PROFILE BUSINESS | PROFILE SElf-propelled fun...guaranteed A company ser vicing Langley since 1932 is a company you can trust.
Caps Bicycles is a family owned bicycle company, now entering its third generattion of owners in the Hobbis family. With 8000 sq ft of showroom available in their W Langley location, they offer a selection unparallel L to other stores. They Th have over 1300 bikes to fit the needs of everyone in your family from ages two to 100. There’s ery bound to be one perfect for you. bo “We are family oriented and family “W rrun,” said Grant Hobbis, current oowner. A unique part of Langley’s history, Caps Bicycles was started by Grant Hobbis’ father in 1932. This was during the Depression years and many could not afford a car, so they turned to bicycles for transportation instead. This trend is once again beginning to increase as many people opt out of o cars for more environmentally friendly transportation. f “Everything we sell is self propelled. “ You Y can’t get any greener,” said Hobbis. b Caps Ca offers complete full service, from
purchasing a bike to repairing a bike, and have all of the accessories to match. “It doesn’t matter where you buy your bike from, we have mechanics to fix it,” said Hobbis. “We fix all makes and models.” Everything from outdoor riding apparel to over 1000 different helmets, you can be sure to find all of the equipment needed to make your ride more comfortable. “We’re able to service the entire bicycle spectrum,” he said. All of their staff members are very knowledgeable and avid cyclists themselves, and spend much of their spare time hitting up trails across the Lower Mainland. “There’s probably nothing we haven’t come across,” said Hobbis. “When you add up all of the staff here, we have close to 100 years of experience from them,” he said. Their upcoming Bicycle Madness Sale on April 16 and 17 is the perfect time to find a new ride for the summer weather to come. Suppliers are clearing out all of last year’s models and prices are being slashed. “If you’re looking for a deal on a bicycle, this is the time,” he said. “It’s great deals and great service.” Caps Bicycles is located at 20306 Logan Ave in Langley.

Reconstruction zone Antiquity Reconstructed is at the Fort Gallery until April 17 MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter
Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times
Bette Laughy and Olga Khodyreva have collaborated on Antiquity Reconstructed, an art exhibit on display at the Fort Gallery until Sunday, April 17.
The Fort Gallery’s latest exhibit, “Antiquity Reconstructed,” pairs up two very different artists who are discovering they have striking similarities in their work. Artists Bette Laughy and Olga Khodyreva had never met each other prior to preparing for the show, which opened at the Fort Langley art gallery on March 30. But, as Khodyreva says:“Some of the pieces look like we have been communicating for a while to create something similar.” Although Laughy has created landscapes highlighting the rock and sky of Arizona and Khodyreva offers surrealist images of timeworn statues, both capture the essence of ancient items, whether natural or man-made, and portray the emotions they see within them. “We are approaching our styles very differently, but its amazing our colours are so similar,” said Laughy. “The whole thing works together really well.” Together, the two came up with the art exhibit’s name, which they say describes the measure of time in both of their work.
For Laughy, the inspiration for Laughy has been with the Fort her 12 acrylic and oil paintings Gallery for four years now, and comes from a series of trips to says the group’s openness to artisArizona and the Four Corners of tic style and expression has made the United States (where Colorado, her experience there very enjoyArizona, Utah and New Mexico able. meet). “It lets me be me,” she said.

Other Big Band in Fat City Friday
Budding artist doing his bit Nine-year-old Langley boy’s artwork is on the block for Japan relief efforts BRENDA ANDERSON
Performance is one of last few events for Langley swing club
Times Reporter
As Fat City Swing winds down after nine years of operation, organizers are taking a look back by hosting some of the favourite bands that have performed at the all-ages dance club over the years. Among them is the 15-piece The Other Big Band. They will come to West Langley Hall on Friday, April 15, at the West Langley Hall (9400 208 St.). The Other Big Band first performed at Fat City seven years ago and has continued to delight audiences every year with its classic swing tunes. Bandleader, Doug Makela and his band have played all over B.C. and in the US, performing at such prestigious festivals as the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival. The Other Big Band promises to leave audiences spellbound with a mix of classic swing tunes from the ’30s and ’40s. Most musicians in The Other Big Band reside in Langley and have been active in the music scene for a number of years. Only two more Fat City Swing nights follow this April’s event before the doors close for good. They will be on May 15 and June 3. Tickets will be available at the door for $15 general admission and $13 for students with valid ID. Doors open at 7:30pm, an introductory East Coast Swing dance lesson at 8 p.m. with the band sweeping the stage from 9 p.m. until 11:30 p.m.
John GORDON/Langley Times
Armand Lombard, 9, poses with his painting ‘Twinkle Eye’ which he has donated to a Facebook auction site raising funds for Japan earthquake and tsunami relief, through the Canadian Red Cross.
Armand Lombard can’t exactly sit down and write a big check to help the people of Japan as they struggle to recover from last month’s devastating earthquake and tsunami. But that doesn’t mean the nine-year-old Langley boy is going to just sit quietly and let the grownups handle it. Instead, Armand picked up his paint brush and went to work. The budding young artist — whose family moved to Canada from South Africa two years ago — has created a painting which is now being auctioned off as part of Artists for Japan, a Facebook campaign to support the efforts of the Canadian Red Cross in the devastated island nation. Armand based his painting on one his mother Freda, also an artist, had created, but made the colours his own. He selected a range of bright jewel-tone colours, from vibrant green to purple, blue and yellow, all of which he mixed from primary colours. But the focus of the piece is the ‘Twinkle Eye’ for which

it is named. The woman’s red iris is set in the middle of the white of the eye to represent the flag of Japan. It is lined in silver glitter to give it its ‘twinkle.’ “He painted it on his first easel, said Freda, explaining that her younger son (older brother Reynard is 12) has always liked to draw but only took up painting last October, working alongside his mom in her downstairs studio. “We try to paint together every day,” she said. Since he posted the painting on the site with a reserve bid of $8, it has begun to climb, with a top bid of $25 on Monday. Freda stumbled across the Facebook site and had decided to create a piece of her own to donate when her son expressed an interest in joining her. “He was ecstatic that his painting would go to help Japan,” said Freda.

Nathan also conducted research to illustrate how the energy from coffee grounds could be recycled, adopting techniques utilized at a number of laboratories to show that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not hard to convert coffee grounds to biofuel. A University of Nevada study estimated that the 16 billion pounds of coffee grounds produced each year could be converted into 340 million U.S. gallons of biodiesel.

Something to crow about at SLT A Murder Of Crows is descending upon Surrey Little this spring Directed by Lynne Karey-McKenna, A Murder of Crows runs until May 7 at Surrey Little Theatre, just across the Langley-Surrey boundary. This is Surrey Little Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fraser Valley Zone entry into the Theatre BC festival. Ed Graczykâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story takes place in small town Wallace, Ohio, once a thriving farming community, now a chemically polluted soon-to-be ghost town. The playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s central characters, Harley and Jenny Woodson, are being relocated to a trailer home in the city by their long estranged son and daughterin-law. This whimsical tale of an environmental night-
mare intertwines touching emotional drama with a generous dose of comedy. A compassionate old fashioned play about life and death in middle America touching on themes of aging, love, loyalty and displacement, A Murder of Crows softens the hard facts of life and death with infectious warmth and a great sense of humour. Showtimes are Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. with additional Sunday matinees on April 17 and May 1 at 2 p.m. Tickets can be reserved at (604) 576-8451 or reservations@surreylittletheatre.com.

Premier Baseball League schedule. In the opener, with Robson allowing four hits in five-plus innings before Garrett Smith closed things out, Justin Atkinson paced the offence with three hits, while Tyler Barlow scored twice.
