Board and Township Council Tour Slope

Recently, the Board of Education and Members of the District Leadership Team joined members of Langley Township council and Township staff on a tour of the growing Willoughby region. The tour provided an opportunity for the Board and Township to review areas of current and planned growth, asks questions of staff, and continue ongoing discussions on plans to work together to meet the community’s growing needs.

Board and Council visit Richard Bulpitt Elementary site.

What belongs in your Neighbourhood Learning Centre?

School District No. 35 seeks input on possible community uses and services.

The Willoughby slope area will be home to two new Neighbourhood Learning Centre (NLC) spaces, with more to come as additional schools are built. NLCs are intended to serve the entire local community and not just the families who attend the schools that house them. The goal is for schools and community

organizations to partner together to create inviting places where people of all ages can access education, community services, recreation and culture every day throughout the year.

Within each of the new South East Yorkson area school and Lynn Fripps Elementary, there are two types of NLC spaces; shared rooms that are available for rent based on availability (i.e. gym, multipurpose

room, etc.) and leasable space that is available for a long term service provider.

We invite you to share your thoughts on the types of services and uses you would like to see within our new Neighbourhood Learning Centres by visiting: http://bit.ly/NLCFeedback Additional thoughts or questions may also be sent via SEYorksonfeedback@ sd35.bc.ca

Students help make change It took more than a week for three Langley Secondary School students to count the hundreds of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters collected in their fall semester for the Langley Food Bank.

In total, $426 was raised by Grade 10 students Shannon Walker, Alanna Bennett and Darien MacKay for the World Food Day inspired fundraiser.

Twice a week the students, who are school ambassadors for the Food For Famine Society, would walk from classroom to classroom with a large water cooler bottle to collect spare change from their fellow students.

The idea is to raise awareness of hunger and poverty on both a local and a global scale.

The penny drive started out as a fundraiser to coincide with the World Food Day event held by the Food For Famine Society at the Langley Events Centre in October, but the students decided to continue it until their Christmas break.

‘To have the generosity of Langley start them off is pretty special’ Miranda Gathercole Times Reporter

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of the community, 809 Langley families enjoyed charitable gifts from the Langley Christmas Bureau this season.

In total, 444 parents registered from the Township and 365 from the City this year, and 483 families were sponsored by 295 individuals, families, churches and schools throughout Langley.

Those registrants who were not sponsored received grocery store gift cards, toys and stocking stuffers purchased through cash donations to the bureau.

“This year our sponsors were generous as per usual so we were able to increase the amount of gift cards and give tons and tons of toys,” said Jim McGregor, co-director of the Langley Christmas Bureau.

More than 100 volunteers have

been working since July to organize the effort, meaning that “99 cents out of every dollar goes back to the families,” he said.

A variety of gifts were purchased for families with kids as young as two weeks old to those with teenagers. One pregnant lady who came in was going to be induced the next morning, so the volunteers “ran around like hens” to put together a baby basket for her, McGregor recalled.

There were 127 new registrants this year, many who are recent immigrants to Langley. One such family was a group of refugees from Syria, who just arrived in Canada for the first time.

“In a lot of cases Christmas itself is new to them,” McGregor said. “To have the generosity of Langley start them off is pretty special.”

Compost controversy: neighbours ‘outraged’ Metro Vancouver promises public information meeting on proposal to build Langley compost facility Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

A proposal to build a composting facility east of Fort Langley is drawing fire from residents and at least one member of Langley Township council, who complain there hasn’t been enough public consultation about the Glenval Organics Ltd. application to locate the plant at 25330 88 Ave. In response, the Metro Vancouver official who will decide whether the plant gets an air quality permit has announced tentative plans for a public information meeting early in the new year.

Ray Robb, the Metro air quality district director, said a definite date for the meeting has yet to be selected, but it will be towards the end of January.

“Some time after the 15th,” Robb told The Times on Thursday.

Robb, who has the authority to issue an air quality permit, said Metro Vancouver staff would be attending the meeting.

He stressed that the meeting was not a formal public hearing, only an information session.

A written statement issued Dec. 24 by Glenval Organics promised the facility will not smell bad because it will only use yard waste.

“The company does not intend to compost food waste which is the typical culprit in unpleasant odours,” the statement said.

That doesn’t reassure resident Katherine Kinman, who is

described the site as a “former fill and gravel pit” that is properly zoned for composting.

Temreck said the proposed compost operation will be a clean, odour-free “small-scale” facility that will only process residential yard waste.

“We want to compost green waste using the latest proven methods that eliminate odours and produce high-quality organic soil,” Temreck said in a written statement.

The yard waste will be used to create “high-quality organic soil to be used by landscapers, gardeners, residents and the Township of Langley,” he said.

Temreck said the company intends to become the first yard waste compost facility in the Metro Vancouver region to receive an air quality permit and promised the plant will “meet or exceed all environmental regulations that apply to the composting industry.”

All odours generated through the natural composting process Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times will be collected and diverted A proposal to build a composting facility on this 12.32 hectare property at 25330 88 Ave. is gen- through an industrial bio-filter, he said. erating controversy.

The Iron Chef Sushi Ichi restaurant in Fort Langley was damaged by fire on May 27. The fire broke out at the back of the building, which is next to the community hall, and caused about $150,000 in damage. It is believed the fire was deliberately set.

2012 — the year in review

With the New Year upon us, it is time once again to take a look back at the year that was.

Below is a selection of the top stories reported in The Times in 2012.

May The streets and pathways of Langley were trod by thousands of walkers as residents celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Langley Walk on May 6. Organizers surpassed their goal of 2,012 walkers with more than 2,100 making either a five or seven km trek from McLeod Athletic Park, through the Derek Doubleday Arboretum and Nicomekl Park, and back to McLeod Park. The walk was created 50 years ago

by Pete Swensson, the parks and recreation director of the Township at the time. He wanted to host a walk to promote healthy living and family fun. It was the first of its kind in North America, and remains one of the only free walks not attached to a fundraiser. *** Dancer Lauren Tokiwa won the second annual Langley Has Talent competition. Tokiwa, who also took part in last year’s competition, earned the honour, along with a cheque for $2,500 and first choice from a series of prize packages for her jazz dance routine to Drive All Night by Need to Breathe. Second place (and $1,500) went to singer Jillian Mandy while Cassandra Cavalli took third place and a cash prize of $1,000. Proceeds from the competition will be used to help build a legacy fund toward the construction of a performing arts centre. *** An agreement was signed for a new $13.8 million school on the northeast corner of 77A Avenue and 209 Street.

The new school will accommodate up to 510 students from Kindergarten to Grade 7. It is scheduled to open in September, 2013. In December,

the Board of Education named the school after former teacher and superintendent Richard Bulpitt. *** Dozens of protesters gathered on 200 Street outside the Langley Events Centre on May 11 in a boisterous two-hour protest of B.C. Hydro’s smart meter program. The protesters waved placards and banners and were shown support from hundreds of drivers who honked their horns and gave them thumbs up. The protestors believe the smart meters are hazardous to health and pollute homes. *** It’s up to the provincial government and WorkSafe BC on whether it will implement some or all 15 recommendations a coroner’s jury made to help prevent future deaths of mushroom farm workers. The inquest examined a workplace accident in September 2008, when three mushroom composting farm workers were killed and two permanently injured while trying to unclog a pipe in a confined space.

Recommendations included requiring each farm worker to receive two days of health and safety training, posting signage about safety in the language of the workers and for the government to strengthen penalties to deter employers from putting workers at risk. *** The Metro Vancouver board of directors wanted to quash a bylaw that rezoned land for Trinity Western University’s university district. They claim the bylaw didn’t conform to the Regional Growth Strategy and the bylaw does not comply with Langley’s own regional context statement.

The bylaw, adopted in April, amends the Rural Plan by adding provisions for a ‘univeristy district’ at 7645 and 7679 Glover Rd., and 22423 Labonte Cres. ***

A Fort Langley sushi restaurant sustained $150,000 in damages from a fire which investigators believe was deliberately set. Iron Chef Sushi Ichi, at 9145 Glover Road, was temporarily closed following the blaze on May 27. *** The Langley Board of Education selected acting superintendent Suzanne Hoffman to fill the vacant position of superintendent of schools and CEO. The board made the announcement on May 28, explaining that Hoffman Suzanne impressed Hoffman everybody since taking on the role of acting superintendent five months earlier, when Cheryle Beaumont was fired by the board.

June Langley’s “Scooter Man,” 93-year-old Cliff Steele passed away on June 8. For the past five years the spry senior had been quietly buying used scooters and electric wheelchairs and fixing them up to give to people in need, for free, with no strings attached. *** Langley’s ‘Dean of Art’ Al Colton passed away in his sleep on June 7 at Langley Memorial Hospital. The 90-year-old painter, whose images have hung everywhere from the Langley Centennial Museum to the National Gallery in Ottawa, found much of his inspiration in the history and natural beauty of the region, often painting local heritage buildings and landscapes in his distinctively colourful impressionist style. continued, PAGE 5

Toots Tucker and David Esworthy were chosen as Langley’s Seniors of the Year in June. Tucker was chosen for her many contributions to the community, including service to the Langley Heritage Society, Fort Langley Museum, Langley Garden Club, blood donor clinic, the Cancer Society, Operation Red Nose, Langley Field Naturalists, Salvation Army, Emergency Social Services, and Sharon United Church.

Esworthy, who was later inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame in September as a builder of equestrian sport, has also made many contributions to the community. He holds or has held positions with the Vancouver Board of Trade, World Trade Committee, B.C. Fire Chiefs Association, B.C. Transplant Society, Vancouver Hospital and Health Sciences Centre, and the Justice Institute of B.C. Foundation. He is a former president of Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce and chaired the Langley Spirit of B.C. committee. *** The Edmonton man accused of killing three armoured vehicle guards and critically injuring another was held in custody at the Langley RCMP detachment after being

arrested at the Aldergrove border crossing on June 16.

Travis Baumgartner, 21, was accused of shooting four of his co-workers who were putting cash into an ATM machine at the University of Alberta.

He apparently had $330,000 cash with him when he was arrested. *** A time capsule was buried in the earth beneath the entrance of the new Lee’s Market IGA building in Fort Langley on June 16. A copy of the Fort Langley Villager Magazine, printouts and newspaper clips documenting the IGA’s history, a badge from the fire department, a business card from Mayor Jack Froese and many other items were placed in the time capsule. Concrete for the floor was poured two days later, securely locking the time capsule away for possibly 100 years or more. *** Two people were killed in a shooting at a rural home on Glover Road on June 23.

Gordon Spencer, 27, was found dead at the scene and Bruce Mayo, 25, died in hospital the next day. Five people were arrested at the scene, all between the ages of 17 to 22.

Around 2:30 a.m. on June 23, Langley RCMP were called

to a domestic dispute at the Milner home. When they arrived, five people were standing outside and the inside of the house was heavily doused with bear spray. The home later burned down in July. *** The Township of Langley put 147 residences, farms and businesses in Glen Valley, Northwest Langley, Brae Island and McMillan Island on evacuation alert as high water levels in the Fraser River caused it to flood.

No evacuation orders were issued, but many low-lying roads, Fort Langley’s Marina Park and the boat launch were all closed. *** Glen Valley residents rallied to save 21 acres of forested property near 252 Street and 84 Avenue from being sold by the Township. The Township, which acquired the land in the 1930s, was selling the land to help pay for the Aldergrove Elementary School site on Fraser Highway for a future community centre. Residents argued that the land’s 80 to 100-year-old conifer trees was too precious to give up and should be reserved for future generations to enjoy. continued, PAGE 6

Health Matters

You may have heard reports that insufficient sleep can contribute to weight gain, but it may be even more sinister than that. Volunteers in the sleep lab at Brigham and Women’s Hospital were subjected to an average of 5.6 hours of sleep per night, meant to mimic shift work.

After only three weeks, researchers noted significantly reduced insulin levels and some volunteers were already pre-diabetic! Aim for at least seven hours for health.

Exercise improves your sleep and your heart – and it’s a great prescription for diabetes. Aim for two kinds of exercise: Aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic exercise (walking, biking, swimming) for 30 minutes five days per week strengthens the heart and lungs and improves blood sugar & blood pressure. Anaerobic exercise (strengthening with weights, therabands) just three days per week reduces insulin resistance. Exercise: A miracle drug?

met and alcohol may have played a role in the crash. * * * A 22-year-old Aldergrove man faced extradition to Australia to face sentencing for his alleged part in smuggling thousands of ecstasy pills inside a Playstation console in 2008. According to Provincial Court documents, Tyson Saviro Santolla allegedly flew home to Canada a week before he was supposed to be sentenced in Brisbane, Australia. * * * Nearly 1,200 riders took part in the first Prospera Valley GranFondo mass cycling event on July 22. The event, which featured three different rides ranging from 3 km to 160 km, took participants through Fort Langley and the country roads of Langley and Abbotsford. The successful event will be held again on July 28, 2013. * * * Langley Olympic equestrian rider Hawley Bennett-Awad was recovering in a London hospital after being thrown from her horse, Gin & Juice, at the Olympic cross country event on July 30. The Murrayville native was taken to Royal London Hospital, where she was being treated for a concussion and a stable sacral fracture. Her horse wasn’t injured in the fall. Because of this, she was eliminated from the competition, ending her Olympic dreams in London. * * * Thieves stole more than 5,200 bottles of hand-crafted wine from Blackwood Lane Vineyeards in south Langley on July 19, amounting to a $200,000 loss for the owners. * * * An estimated 8,000 pounds of honey was stolen along with approxiately 500,000 bees from a bee farm on 0 Avenue on July 26. Almost 100 hive

frames had been removed along with the bees and honey, costing the farm $100,000. * * * An equipment/storage shed containing sacks of dry fertilizer and pesticide went up in flames on July 31, lighting the night sky with flames that were visible for miles around. The storage shed, located at Coast Cranberries, opposite the entrance to Derby Reach Regional Park, was destroyed. The Canadian Transport Emergency Centre, which is part of the Transport of Dangerous Goods Directorate of Transport Canada, was called in to assist.

August A large box with the words “Do Not Touch Highly Explosive” written on it shut down 204 Street, beside the IGA, on Aug. 3. The area was re-opened an hour later and no explosives were found.

Police were considering calling in the bomb squad, but once they saw that the box, which once held a Colorado XT pontoon boat, was empty, they worked on the idea that the writing was a hoax. * * * A neighbourhood dispute was the stated reason 20-year-old Slade Berggren shot at his neighbour and caused a police standoff in south Aldergrove on the night of Aug. 13. Dozens of police and the Emergency Response Team were called to the 1900 block of 269A Street after shots were fired.

The man wasn’t injured but Berggren barricaded himself inside a home around midnight and refused to come out.

ERT was able to get him out and arrest him without incident around 6 a.m. on Aug. 14. continued, PAGE 7

August — Police stymie planned mega-party from PAGE 6

Berggren was charged with careless use of a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, unlawfully discharging a firearm and uttering threats. * * * A 45-year-old Langley man was arrested for the 1999 murder of a member of the Lytton First Nation band. William Robert Smith was arrested without incident in Langley on Aug. 15. He had been charged with manslaughter in the death of Sandy Charlie and interference with a dead body. * * * A Langley City neighbourhood was evacuated for more than an hour on Aug. 17 as police hunted for a man at

20679 Eastleigh Cres. Police blocked off the area as they searched for the man, who allegedly threatened his roommate and had a gun. The man eventually surrendered without incident. * * * Langley resident Braedon Dolfo represented Canada at the 2012 Paralympic Games in London, which ran from Aug. 29 to Sept. 12. Suffering from glaucoma, he is unable to see what is on either side of him. Another local runner, Dylan Williamson, also went to London as the guide runner for Dustin Walsh, who is completely blind. Also at the games were Lauren Barwick, Ashley Gowanlock and Eleonore Elstone who all competed in para-dressage. * * *

Nearly $30,000 raised by Langley residents to help a hospital in Zimbabwe had to be redirected into other projects after the main doctor, Paul Thistle, was abruptly fired and told to leave the country by the leadership of the Salvation Army there. Rotary was originally planning to raise more than $100,000 to buy new equipment for the hospital. * * * Langley RCMP brought in auxiliaries, had extra patrols and set up roadblocks to prevent a mega-party in a Walnut Grove cul-de-sac that had been promoted on Facebook. The party, dubbed Project X, had been expected to attract about 2,000 people.

A happy new year

These guys no ordinary Joes

H

appy new year.

The phrase is on many peoples’ lips as the year turns, and it is a genuine sentiment. Most of us wish for our friends, neighbours, family members, work colleagues and even casual acquaintances to have a happy and successful new year.

There is much to be happy about in Langley, B.C. and Canada. Almost everyone here has a home, and even those who do not have places they can go if they wish to. Almost everyone can easily get enough to eat, and can get enough clothing to wear.

Children, except in a very few extreme situations, have their needs taken care of — if not by their families, then by others through adoption, foster homes and the support of caring people.

Langley is a community with a great deal of heart. This is not always duplicated, particularly in the Lower Mainland, where constant population change and a huge influx of newcomers sometimes impedes community spirit.

The weather here isn’t always bright and sunny. But the climate is mild and even in mid-winter, snow is a rarity. It’s easy to get around and, if you’re bundled up against the cold and wet, it’s a pretty good place to be outdoors.

The issues which stir up Langley residents, and The Times reports on many of them over the course of each year, are often of minor significance when compared to some of the truly heartbreaking issues in other parts of the world. There is no civil war underway here with thousands of civilians being killed, nor has a school been invaded by a gunman who killed 26 people, 20 of them young children.

The fact that Langley issues are primarily differences of opinion on local services, taxes or council salaries is something to celebrate. It means that our community is more like a big family where there are inevitable disagreements over small matters, rather than a group of people who are constantly warring with one another.

Issues on the provincial and national scene are, in some ways, more significant, but they are also more distant from most people. Most of us are happy when the various levels of government just leave us alone.

There is much to appreciate as Langley enters 2013, and a happy new year will be one in which the peaceful way of life we often take for granted can continue.

ot everybody is gifted with the ability to be brave in an emergency.

It’s one of the reasons people request to have their seats switched when sitting beside the emergency exit on an aircraft and one of the reasons emergency teams like firefighters are hailed heroes when saving the lives of others in the face of danger.

And while in the above two examples the need to respond under stressful or dangerous circumstances is foreseeably possible, encountering an event that begs stoic action isn’t so predictable for the everyday Joe. But it happens. When timing miraculously aligns with circumstance, sometimes life asks regular Joes to act quickly and bravely. And through no fault or planning of their own, these Joes become heroes too.

John Tyler, Jake Tyler and Dale Hession are shining local examples.

The men saved the life of Kitimat resident Bobby Weir by pulling him from a crashed, burning vehicle seconds before it was too late. Weir’s passenger Kevin Dawson is a hero too, surmounting injuries and shock to find help and add to rescue efforts.

And then there are youths Patrick and Nickolas Hamer along with Dayne and Parker Wright, who sprung into action to put out a fire that burned two men — Jess Hansen and Murray Hamer — on a Thornhill farm, saving their lives.

These everyday Joes, both young and old, became unexpected heroes.

And blessed are many that they responded, bravely, in an emergency.

Langley Times

Langley is a World Without End Editor: Langley politics and planning is similar to Ken Follett’s World Without End. The novel vividly highlights how the kings and lords scheme and manipulate, with the help of their local parish masters. Meanwhile, the peasants struggle through their daily lives.

Langley`s lords are the landowners and developers frowning at us from their perches in West Vancouver or Coal Harbour.

These lords can sit on land for years, while we peons battle over such mundane things as schools for our children.

The lords use fun and crafty means to influence our parish masters, the so-called governments of Langley City and Langley Township. The whole thing is a multi-million dollar game that the peasants (aka: voting citizens) can barely follow, because the lords can change rules and players at will.

The year 2012 was a busy one for the lords of Langley, and the peasants are surely befuddled. First, there was the election, and in comes a slate of obviously pro-development parish masters.

Within weeks, a parcel of land that most Langley peasants never even knew they owned was put up for sale in a place called Glen Valley. What is now a peaceful forest will soon become horse barns for the lords.

The parish masters carefully crafted this scheme under the distraction of a swimming pool in a place called Aldergrove. This pool is the same one promised many times over the years to the Aldergrove peasants, so they are understandably excited.

What is humourous (unless you are an owl or a deer) is that the parish masters will get a few million for land to finance a pool that will cost 10 times more that that. This is a frivolous matter for the lords. They just want those trees developed before those pesky WOLF people get too “busy.”

Peasant citizens think that Agricultural Land Reserve means “preserve for the

future,” however the lords think reserve their schemes the next time you are waitmeans “develop now for maximum profit.” ing at one of the six traffic lights at the 200 I refer to the Wall farm/Trinity Western Street interchange.

University project, which pulls out 150 acres of great pasture and farmland to build another development with another strip mall in another area with no schools and limited transit. All this so the Wall lords and the Trinity lords can make their world better.

done wrong, but wish and plan to do wrong no longer, from publicly speaking out on wrong behaviour, society would be even far more screwed up than it already is.

If the virtues that Christ taught, like subsisting on that which one truly necessitates to live comfortably enough (e.g. no Mercedes or Cadillacs, backyard swimming pools or gratuitous earnings of nine to 12-figure incomes), were truly followed in the exact manner that He’d meant, there’d be far less coveting a neighbour’s possessions.

As one obviously wealthy Christian letter writer put it or, as the fiscally ultra-conservative libertarians like to refer to it, it is the politics of envy.

Editor: I am a senior living in Aldergrove. This past year, I suffered a stroke and have lost a lot of my independence.

I can walk, but I require oxygen and therefore cannot drive. I have to depend a lot on others for tasks that I took for granted before my stroke.

During this transition in my life, I have come to realize how many kind and considerate people there are in our world, and especially right here in our community.

I especially want to thank all the staff at the Aldergrove Shoppers Drug Mart, Save-On Foods. TD Bank and the library.

Also thanks to the kind people at the biomedical clinic who are so gentle with those nasty needles.

The staff at these locations go beyond their duties to extend their compassion.

They deserve to be greatly thanked, and I want them to realize how much their kindness means to others.

I am sure there are other establishments in Aldergrove which provide the same kind of considerate services to their customers. They all should be recommended for their efforts. We do live in a great world.

Sharon Morris, Aldergrove

Good Letter

Some Christians don’t follow Christ’s teachings Editor: Over this Christmas holiday season, it’s been mind-bending to read missives and carte blanche opinion-makers defend the blatant double-speak of Christians who claim to want Christ in their lives, without giving up their caches of gratuitous loot and other forms of needless materialism.

‘Well, how much have you given to the poor and needy, Mr. Sterle?’ is the potentially effective, knee-jerk reaction I’ll typically receive. Indeed, the hypocrisy label is a red herring often conveniently utilized by the big-wealth-is-Christ’s-blessing Christians.

It is used as a diversionary tactic to attempt to shut up the likes of me.

The fact is, if hypocrisy was morally sufficient to prevent people who do or have

Many make life easier

Indeed, it’s bitterly ironic that one can often find more Christ-like charity from atheist secular humanists than from the likes of very many fundamentalist evangelical Christians.

To be clear, I’m not intending to needlessly critique or bash Christianity and Christians. Rather, I wish to point out that, Biblically speaking, one cannot serve two masters.

People cannot preach Christianity, while simultaneously dismissing and denouncing global leaders’ attempts to find and implement at least some semblance of fiscal sanity, in a just society sense, for the vast majority, the have-nots.

Frank G. Sterle, Jr., White Rock

Editor: I wish to congratulate you on publishing “Peace begins on our plates” (letters, Dec. 20). Amidst all the Christmas frenzy and well-wishing, this article shone out like the star over Bethlehem, quietly asking us to examine the roots of our violence.

As Patricia Tallman says, how can we expect peace on Earth when we inflict such holocaust on 64 billion land animals and between one and two billion sea animals a year, when we consume meat and dairy?

By Kristyl Clark Since opening its doors in the Langley Events Centre three years ago, the Langley Sports Medicine Clinic has helped countless athletes of all ages and levels to get back into the game.

The state-of-the-art facility – a multidisciplinary practice offering advanced rehabilitative techniques under one roof – is the brainchild of Jamie Rempel, a former Athletic Therapist with the B.C. Lions and the Vancouver Women’s Whitecaps.

Even with Langley Sports Medicine Clinic’s top-ofthe-line equipment and modern ‘airy’ atmosphere, the facility maintains a mom ‘n’pop feel that is noticeable as soon as you step inside.

“We’re all pretty friendly and easy going around here,” said Rempel, the clinic’s owner/director, whose passion for physical sports rehabilitation is evident in the way he

relates to each patient that walks through the front door.

“We’re not just about treating an injury; we’re about giving athletes the extra tools and the knowledge to understand their injury… to understand their pain and how to maximize the healing process.”

While Langley Sports Medicine Clinic is the official sports clinic for the Langley Rams and the Langley Rivermen, it takes the same dynamic approach to benefit everyone, from the elite athlete to the Sunday morning golfer who is determined to get back onto the green.

“It doesn’t matter what team they play for or what level they are at,” said Rempel. “It is those who are willing to accept the limitations, the pain and the discomfort… the ones who are willing to trust our knowledge who are the success stories. And we have many of those here!”

The benefit of any multi-disciplined clinic is the access to a supply network of different healthcare professionals under one roof. Langley Sports Medicine Clinic is an expanding team of specialists that’s currently comprised of four physiotherapists, one chiropractor and four massage therapists.

“Our staff is here to help at providing a healing environment,” said Rempel, who notes that past and present clients have continued to seek the extra attention and knowledge that Langley Sports Medicine Clinic provides.

“They have high expectations and know that we exceed them because of the returning clients and their referrals of friends and family.”

Langley Sports Medicine Clinic is also the only private clinic in the Fraser Valley with a fulltime practicing Certified Athletic Therapist.

“Our Athletic Therapist will assess the injury and educate you as to the anatomy involved, provide a descrip-

By Kristyl Clark Since opening its doors in the Langley Events Centre three years ago, the Langley Sports Medicine Clinic has helped countless athletes of all ages and levels to get back into the game.

The state-of-the-art facility – a multidisciplinary practice offering advanced rehabilitative techniques under one roof – is the brainchild of Jamie Rempel, a former Athletic Therapist with the B.C. Lions and the Vancouver Women’s Whitecaps.

Even with Langley Sports Medicine Clinic’s top-ofthe-line equipment and modern ‘airy’ atmosphere, the facility maintains a mom ‘n’pop feel that is noticeable as soon as you step inside.

“We’re all pretty friendly and easy going around here,” said Rempel, the clinic’s owner/director, whose passion for physical sports rehabilitation is evident in the way he

relates to each patient that walks through the front door.

“We’re not just about treating an injury; we’re about giving athletes the extra tools and the knowledge to understand their injury… to understand their pain and how to maximize the healing process.”

While Langley Sports Medicine Clinic is the official sports clinic for the Langley Rams and the Langley Rivermen, it takes the same dynamic approach to benefit everyone, from the elite athlete to the Sunday morning golfer who is determined to get back onto the green.

“It doesn’t matter what team they play for or what level they are at,” said Rempel. “It is those who are willing to accept the limitations, the pain and the discomfort… the ones who are willing to trust our knowledge who are the success stories. And we have many of those here!”

The benefit of any multi-disciplined clinic is the access to a supply network of different healthcare professionals under one roof. Langley Sports Medicine Clinic is an expanding team of specialists that’s currently comprised of four physiotherapists, one chiropractor and four massage therapists.

“Our staff is here to help at providing a healing environment,” said Rempel, who notes that past and present clients have continued to seek the extra attention and knowledge that Langley Sports Medicine Clinic provides.

“They have high expectations and know that we exceed them because of the returning clients and their referrals of friends and family.”

Langley Sports Medicine Clinic is also the only private clinic in the Fraser Valley with a fulltime practicing Certified Athletic Therapist.

“Our Athletic Therapist will assess the injury and educate you as to the anatomy involved, provide a descrip-

Fort Langley artist Pat Barker is set to open Inspired and Irregular from Jan. 2 to Jan. 20 at the Fort Gallery.

Barker displaying her passion for paint Brenda anderson Times Reporter

P

at Barker isn’t one to paint herself into a corner — never mind a pigeon hole.

An avid Dragon boater who has written a book on the subject, she worked as a firefighter for 10 years before retiring and even has a couple of documentary films to her credit.

But it’s acrylic paints and broken glass that have really captured the Fort Langley woman’s imagination in recent months.

And now she’s getting ready to share her new passion for paint with the community for the first time.

Barker and fellow Fort Gallery artist Kathleen McGiveron — who works in ceramics — will share gallery space for three weeks in the New Year as they mount a show titled Inspired and Irregular, from Jan. 2 to 20 at the Fort Langley artist-run gallery.

What viewers will be seeing from Barker represents a fairly new development in her artistic pursuits.

It is only recently that she began painting in acrylics, having spent most of her time working in pencil since graduating from Emily Carr in 1993.

And, up until now, Barker’s drawings have been faithful recreations of her subjects, from images of turnout gear hanging alongside fire engines — commissioned as gifts for retiring firefighters — to close-ups of bamboo and the distinctive criss-cross pattern of a palm tree trunk to a clutter of old wine corks.

At the other end of the artistic spectrum

are her more recent pieces — the ones she plans to hang. There will be between 10 and 20 of them in the exhibit, she said, examples of her most recent style, including abstracts which combine paint, both brushed and splattered onto the canvas, with shards of glass intermixed.

Those she gets by breaking mirrors — lots and lots of mirrors.

“I’m going to have more than seven years of bad luck,” Barker laughed.

But it’s definitely not as simple as letting them slip from her hands and hit the floor.

“I take them out by the old Albion Ferry (dock), because breaking glass draws a lot of attention,” she said. “It’s really loud.”

Double bagging them to prevent dangerous shards of glass from flying, she takes a hammer to the mirrors, breaking them into jagged pieces which she then fixes to her canvases.

In some cases, the patterns are abstract, in others, the pieces are carefully arranged to form the snowy peaks of mountains she has painted.

From her fourth floor condominium in Fort Langley’s Bedford Landing, Barker has a spectacular view of the Fraser River and, beyond, Golden Ears — an image that provides her with inspiration for many of her paintings.

Not that there have been too many, just yet.

Pretty much every canvas Barker has so far painted is either hanging on or leaning against a wall in her home. Once the exhibit goes up, those walls will look a little bare, she knows.

But that’s OK with the artist.

“It’s a win-win,” said Barker.

“If I sell work, great; if I don’t, I get to

keep it.”

Assuming most or all of her paintings find new homes, Barker is more than happy to begin decorating anew.

“I want to keep doing this,” she said.

And, as luck would have it, she’ll soon have even more wall space to cover. This spring, Barker and her husband will move into a new, much larger, live-work studio just down the street.

Living in commercially zoned space will give her the opportunity to start her own small studio/gallery.

On the ceiling of her studio, Barker plans to re-create arguably the most famous image from the Sistine Chapel — but with a bit of a twist. In her version, God will be handing Adam a pencil.

She has already named the space The Pencil Studio in celebration of her roots as an artist.

“I started off (working with) regular pencil, then pencil crayons and water colour pencil,” she explained.

She enjoyed the control she got working with the implements, but even they presented challenges that needed creative solutions.

Before she discovered fixative sprays, Barker taught herself to work from the top down, to avoid smudging the parts she’d already completed.

In addition to displaying and selling her own artwork, Barker plans to stock other artists’ pieces at her studio as well — particularly those that fit in with her theme.

One, a Surrey artist, creates rests for calligraphy pens. The pieces are carved into dragon’s tails, and Barker appreciates the connection to her other passion —

dragon boats.

“I’m leaning toward anything having to to with writing or the pencil,” she said of her plans for stocking her new shop.

As for when she will be prepared to welcome her first customers, Barker has not set a firm date just yet.

“It will open when it’s ready.”

McGiveron, another Langley artist, who will display her work alongside Parker’s in the Inspired and Irregular exhibit, creates ceramic sculptures inspired by the figurine. Her sculptures may appear traditional, but upon second glance, it becomes clear that these scaled-up figurines have had their decals or possessions stripped and replaced with unconventional, popular logo patterning, through method of decal, or with handbuilt pop icons.

The artist is interested in the way pop icons and imagery can replace traditional images used as surface decoration on ceramic ware.

Historically, culture has been preserved on the surface of ceramics, said McGiveron, who aims to document as well as create a dialogue about contemporary culture on the surfaces of my sculptures.

“In a way, my works are almost an antimonument: the viewer is able to relate to the piece and recognize that what is occurring in my sculptures is connected to what is happening today,” she said.

“They are about what people are interested in.”

Inspired and Irregular will officially open on Jan. 4, with an artists’ reception from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Fort Gallery, 9048 Glover Rd. Go to fortgallery.ca or call 604-888-7411 for more information.

RYALL, Doreen (Thomas) Nov. 20 1938 - Nov. 29 2012 Passed away peacefully on Thursday November 29th 2012. She will be sadly missed by her loving husband of 55 years Jim, as well as her 3 sons Randy, Terry, Bruce (Jaimin) and 3 grandsons, Justin, Kurtis, and Erik.

Doreen made many life long friends from her years working at the hospitals, and running the BC Team Roping Assoc.

She always had a kind word and a smile to be given to everyone she met. She will be missed by many.

A small gathering will be announced at a later date.

HARTL, Rudolf Edward After the recent loss of his beloved wife, Beatrice, with whom he shared 61 years of marriage, and a short struggle with Lung Cancer, Rudolf Edward Hartl, known as “Gus” Hartl, passed away peacefully at McKenney Creek Hospice Residence in Maple Ridge, on December 21st, 2012. Gus was born on a farm in Saskatchewan on October 10th, 1929. After a 25 year RCMP career, during which he also maintained a small grain farm in Saskatchewan, he retired at the age of 46, to a 10 acre hobby farm in Aldergrove. Utilizing his RCMP experience, Gus then worked with the Probation Services and helped establish a community work program in the Fraser Valley for young offenders, to perform community services, rather than being incarcerated or on probation. Following that project, Gus initiated and completed residential real estate developments in Aldergrove, Abbotsford and Mission. He spent the winter months each year at his Arizona home for the past 25 years, and made many friends there from across Canada and the USA. Gus was the most sociable person you’d ever meet, and relationships with family and friends were always the most important priorities in his life. He is lovingly remembered by sons Philip (Linda), Doug (Poona), Bob (Pat), Dennis, and Gus (Brenda); grandchildren Trevor Hartl (Amanda), Jennifer Bajic (Ante), Douglas Hartl (Christina), Navada Taylor (Stephen), Janelle Hartl (Andrew), Jared Hartl, Serena Hartl (James), Whitney Pollock (Justin), Jessica German (Brad), and Meagan Hartl; great grandchildren Luka, Spencer, Ben, Cate, Taylin, Olivia, Hudson, and Quinn; sisters Elsie Smith, Edna Hornett (Jim), Bertha Kenny (Al); as well as many loving nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

He is predeceased by his parents Philip and Maria, his loving wife Beatrice, his son David, and his brother Albert.

A Funeral Mass will be held at Sts. Joachim and Ann Catholic Church at 2827 - 273rd Street, Aldergrove, BC, at 1:00 PM on Friday, January 4th, 2012.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in his memory to the BC Cancer Foundation or the charity of your choice.
