Sex offender rearrested for parole violation

STREET 1,200 STRONG

became aware he was going to be released from Fraser Regional Correction Centre and he had announced his intention to live in Langley.

Officers in Langley’s Street Enforcement Unit who are trained in surveillance attended Fraser Regional Correctional Centre on Graham March 17, Lackey as Lackey was released from jail. Officers observed him boarding a bus bound for the Langley bus loop.

He arrived in Langley at 1:51 p.m., was greeted by an acquaintance and the two immediately went to a nearby pub where Lackey ordered and consumed a beer at 2:15 p.m., said Langley RCMP Const. Holly Marks.

Lackey was arrested as he exited the pub and has been found guilty of breaching his probation. He had been sentenced to an additional five months in jail, but was let out last week.

“This individual is a repeat offender with a history of sex offences, non-compliance with community supervision and potentially at a high risk to re-offend,” said Langley RCMP Const. Holly Marks at the time.

He is bound by the probation order until November 2013.

A high-risk repeat sex offender who violated his parole in Langley only minutes after getting out of jail in March was arrested again in Hope on Friday.

Residents in the ChilliwackHope area were warned by authorities about Graham Lackey’s release from prison last week.

Then shortly after 10:20 p.m. on Friday, Lackey was arrested in Memorial Park in Hope for breaching one of 13 court-ordered conditions, which includes not being in parks.

The 46-year-old man has a significant criminal history with 37 convictions, including 17 which are sex-related. A further 12 are where he failed to comply with conditions for offences dating back to 1989.

Lackey was subject to close monitoring by authorities and was under 13 court-ordered conditions including not possessing, owning or carrying any weapons; not consuming or possessing alcohol or any controlled substances; not having contact, direct or indirect, with anyone under the age of 16; not attending a public park, public swimming area, daycare centre, school ground or playground where anyone under the age of 16 is present or can reasonably be expected to frequent; and not owning, possessing or accessing any personal computers or electronic devices capable of accessing the Internet.

Park residents less anxious after meeting with council DAN FERGUSON

MONIQUE TAMMINGA

Times Reporter

Residents of a Langley manufactured home park are less anxious about their future following a meeting with Township council representatives on Wednesday night.

However, they remain wary about the possible impact of a new official community plan (OCP) which will change the designation of the Walnut Grove site, a spokesman said.

More than 100 residents of the 160home Forest Green Estates park at 9080 198 St. attended the meeting with Mayor Jack Froese and Councillors David Davis, Kim Richter, Grant Ward, Charlie Fox and Bev Dornan, along with Ramin Seifi, Township general manager of engineering and community development, and strategic planner Jason Chu. The meeting was arranged after Forest Green residents picketed the Township hall and packed a public hearing in council chambers on July 8 to express their concerns about the proposed new OCP that would switch the park from an “industrial” designation to “urban.”

That, they said, would make it easier for the owner of the property to have the land rezoned for high-rise condominiums and evict them.

No such application has been made, but that did not reassure the protesters, who carried placards reading “save our little piece of paradise,” “seniors before progress” and “where will we go?”

At the Wednesday night meeting, Seifi told residents the change to an urban designation will mean any rezoning application would have to have input from the residents, something that would not be required for an industrial property.

The council delegation also pointed out the Township passed regulations in 2008 that protect mobile home park residents in the event of a rezoning.

Under the Mobile Home Park Development Policy, a developer must arrange and pay for disposal of existing homes at or above the assessed value of the homes; must offer opportunities for right-of-first-refusal to purchase the new housing units at discounts and must provide low-cost housing options.

A developer applying to rezone a mobile home park is also required to provide tenants with advice on options for relocating to market housing, nonmarket housing and other mobile home

Hells Angel injured after Langley event Times Reporter

A member of the Hells Angel motorcycle club from Saskatoon suffered serious head injuries after crashing his bike into a rock wall just east of Hope, after a weekend-long celebration at the organization’s Langley clubhouse.

Police were out in force this weekend to ensure public safety by monitoring the annual Hells Angels Canada Run held at the White Rock chapter’s clubhouse on 61 Avenue in Milner. The celebration attracted a high number of motorcycle club members, including many from outside the province.

Aside from the biker being injured in the crash, police said the bikers didn’t cause any problems.

“These events happen yearly and for the most part they are uneventful,” says Sgt. Lindsey Houghton, spokesperson for the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit.

But police stress that members of the Hells Angels are involved in drugs, weapons, and violence-related offences and have been identified as being part of an organized crime group, he said.

“It will be the police’s job this weekend to pre-empt any potential for conflict,” he said before the party.

The annual Hells Angels Canada Run took place, but it also marked the White Rock chapter’s 30th anniversary. That chapter is based out of the Langley clubhouse.

Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times

Bill MacDonald speaks for a group of Forest Green Estates mobile home park residents concerned a proposed change to the park designation will make it easier to redevelop. parks in the area.

Following the meeting, which ran just over an hour, Mayor Froese said he thought the Forest Green residents gained a better understanding of the practical effects of the new OCP. “It’s a complicated process [overhauling the OCP],” Froese told The Times.

Froese said he thought the feedback from the meeting was valuable for the Township delegation, too.

“It really helps council to make decisions,” Froese said.

Bill MacDonald, a spokesman for the

residents, said they are somewhat reassured by the meeting with council, but concerns remain about the change to urban.

“You can’t build a high-rise on industrial,” MacDonald noted.

But there is less fear that residents will be forced out, he added.

“We feel now that we do have a chance, if it goes to rezoning, to A; defeat it or B; be fairly compensated,” MacDonald said.

The residents planned to send a smaller delegation when the public hearing on the OCP resumed Monday.

Crash near Events Centre Residents living near the Langley Events Centre were jolted out of bed from the sounds of a single vehicle crash at 6 a.m. on Sunday.

Langley RCMP confirm a Jeep YJ being driven along 80 Avenue crossed into the sidewalk, into a median and landed on a light standard at the LEC parking lot.

Police said the 68-year-old driver had a seizure, causing him to lose control of the vehicle. He was taken to hospital to be treated for minor injuries.

$150K for maternity ward Toyotatown, Trotman Auto Group add to growing LMHF fund MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

Another $150,000 in donations has been added to the “It All Starts Here” campaign for the new Vandekerkhove Family Maternity Centre at Langley Memorial Hospital, thanks to the generosity of the Trotman Auto Group and Toyotatown Langley.

Trotman Auto Group has contributed $100,000 and Toyotatown $50,000. They join more than 20 other local businesses and individuals who have donated $50,000 or more to the cause, including the Vandekerkhove family, who have contributed $1 million. “(We are) proud to give back to the community where we live and work,” said Scott Kemp, owner and general manager of Toyotatown Langley. “Many of our customers and staff have used Langley Memorial Hospital and its maternity unit at some point. We decided this would be a perfect time to give back to a facility that has supported our community for many years.”

The expansion comes at a time when population growth in Langley has far exceeded the capacity of the LMH maternity ward.

Turning away women in labour is something no staff member at Langley Memorial Hospital wants to do, but it has become a very frequent occurrence.

When the hospital first opened in 1948, 11 beds for the 85 babies born there each year was very sufficient. But today, the number of births has increased by more than 2,000 per cent to 1,800 per year. The number of beds has increased by just two. There are now 13.

The new reality is, there just isn’t enough room at LMH to accommodate the growing community. The number of yearly births is expected to continue to rise to 2,300 over the next seven years.

In response, Fraser Health has committed $6.31 million towards an $11.66 million expansion to the maternity unit at LMH. That has left the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation with the job of raising $5.35 million to fill the gap.

With construction already underway and only eight months left to fundraise, the foundation is still in need of $2 million to finish the project.

So far, support from the community has been amazing, said Kate Ludlam, senior donor rela-

“It really has struck me in Langley that people have such pride in this community and such a strong feeling of giving back and supporting the community,” Ludlam said. “It’s really astonishing and makes me feel really good about the work that we’re doing at the Foundation — it’s really making a difference.”

The expansion will allow for seven new beds to open, which can accommodate up to 600 more births, and will see the relocation of the maternity clinic from the other end of the hospital to the new maternity ward, a new postanesthetic recovery unit, an expanded nursery and additional on-call rooms.

“It’s been quite an exciting time for us,” Ludlam said. “It has allowed individuals and companies that have given to the Hospital Foundation in smaller ways over the years to make a significant gift, and we really are grateful for that.”

Now, the Foundation is turning to the community for help to raise the final $2 million needed.

The Aldergrove Soccer Society will receive $31,500 and the Buffalo Celtic Music Society is receiving $10,000, it was announced on Friday.

Forty-two recipients will share $1,363,010 in the latest rounds of grants.

“Local non-profits have a tremendous impact in our communities, and bring people together through sports tournaments, music recitals and all the other events they host every year,” said Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman.

“These grants will allow them to continue to develop the programs that Langley residents enjoy.”

After more than 24 years of political involvement, John Cummins wants some time to catch up with his dayto-day chores.

He spoke to The Times on Thursday morning, John while installing water and electrical lines to the barn on his South Langley property.

It’s a project he’s been meaning to do for two years — but politics got in the way.

“It’s time to stop running extension cords and carrying buckets of water to the barn,” he said.

On Thursday night, he delivered a letter of resignation as party leader to the BC Conservative Party executive, and stepped away from a position he has held for just over two years.

Cummins first served on the Reform Party’s executive in 1989. In 1993, he was elected Reform MP for Delta, as the party swept the Progressive Conservatives and NDP out of many B.C. seats, and the country turned to the Liberals under Jean Chretien.

He remained Delta MP until the last federal election in 2011, and served as a reform, Canadian Alliance and then Conservative MP. For the past two years, he was busy rebuilding the BC Conservatives who, for a period last year, were registering at about 20 per cent in opinion polls.

However, by the time election day rolled around, the party ended up with just under five per cent of the vote total.

Cummins came third in the Langley riding, won by Liberal MLA Mary Polak.

“The last two years have been pretty intense,” he said.

“There has been a lot of travel, and everything else came second (to politics).

“I enjoyed the challenge, and it was something that was worth doing. I still think there is a place for the BC Conservatives, despite the election result.

revelation, and as time goes by there will be a lot of unhappiness with them.

“The NDP took a beating and lost a lot of their own supporters. They walked away from the working guy.”

Cummins would like to see the Conservatives follow the role model laid down by longtime premier W.A.C. Bennett, whose vision was to build the province’s economy without kowtowing to big business or labour interests.

Cummins plans to remain living in Langley and hopes to get more involved in the community, and also spend more time with his family and friends. And he plans to catch up on his projects — he’s also planning to do some fencing this summer.

The future of public transit in Langley lies just to the west of the Willowbrook Shopping Centre, in the parking lot near the new Target store.

That is where a new bus loop is proposed, and eventually where a rapid transit line from Surrey is expected to go.

By then, the shopping centre will not resemble the current mix of big-box outlet stores and small boutique shops.

It will be redeveloped as a mix of residential and retail, with underground parking and a web of new streets.

The “100-year-plus” vision was unveiled at the Monday, July 8 meeting of Township council during a joint presentation by municipal planners and the TransLink authority.

It calls for replacing the

Paul Brar announces Conservative candidacy Surrey banquet hall manager hopes to represent party in run for Cloverdale-Langley seat FRANK BUCHOLTZ Times Reporter

Paul Brar announced Wednesday that he will seek the Conservative nomination in the new riding of Cloverdale-West Langley.

He is the second candidate to announce his interest in winning the nomination. Brar made the announcement before a crowd of about 40 people at the Cloverdale Library.

The riding includes Cloverdale, Langley City and a portion of Surrey extending as far west as 144 Street. Voters there will elect their first MP in the next federal election, which will likely be held in October, 2015.

Most of the Surrey portion of the new riding is now part of the South Surrey-White RockCloverdale riding held by Conservative MP Russ Hiebert.

He is expected to run again in the readjusted South Surrey-White Rock riding.

Some party members at the event said they had heard there may be as many of five candidates for the nomination.

Brar came to Canada and to Surrey from India in 1990. He is manager of a Newton banquet hall, which is owned by his brother.

He has also been a life insurance salesman.

He is the current vice-president of the NewtonNorth Delta Conservative constituency association, and has been a Conservative member since 2006.

“We need people like Paul Brar to come forward and work in the political arena,” said Mohan Gill, president of the constituency association. “He is a good businessman, with a good family background. I’m glad he is contesting this.”

“I strongly believe in a deep sense of personal responsibility,” Brar said.

“We need to keep the streets safe, lower taxes, protect newcomers and strengthen the economy. I need your help to elect me as the candidate in Cloverdale-West Langley.”

He quoted an Albert Pine saying that ends “whatever we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.”

Dave Hayer, former Surrey-Tynehead Liberal MLA, is the other announced candidate for the nomination.

Unfiltered Harper

Reasons for cynicism

P

rime Minister Stephen Harper and other political party leaders will be hitting the barbecue circuit across Canada, trying to keep their ground troops motivated with a federal election two years away.

Harper may come to this area again — he has often attended former senator Gerry St. Germain’s barbecue at his South Surrey ranch. The public likely won’t know if he does come, as members of the media are usually barred from attending. Interestingly, this is one reason why the barbecues are more important than ever for Harper this summer.

For the first time since he has become Conservative party leader, he has an opponent with a formidable brand name — Justin Trudeau of the federal Liberals. While Trudeau is very much an untested commodity, thus far attack ads mounted by the Conservatives have had almost no effect.

The Conservative brand itself has been badly tainted by the Senate expense scandal, and particularly

by Senator Mike Duffy, a former member of the media who is facing numerous investigations. While he now sits as an independent, some of the investigations centre around his billing taxpayers while at the same time doing Conservative political work.

Because the prime minister has so little time for local media, most of whom have no interest in the battles between the Ottawa press gallery and the government, he foregoes the chance to get his message out via local television stations, community newspapers and radio stations. He has let himself become defined as an angry man, barricaded at 24 Sussex Drive, ranting at a long enemies list.

Only a few Conservative Party members get to see something different.

While his office avidly uses Twitter, even using it to announce changes to his cabinet last week, he isn’t reaching many potential Conservative voters that way. The biggest users of Twitter are from the same generation which rarely votes.

While Trudeau is untested, and the Trudeau brand has glaring weaknesses in Western Canada, Harper may have finally met his match after demolishing three earlier Liberal leaders. He could have had trouble with the NDP under Jack Layton, but thus far Thomas Mulcair hasn’t done too much damage to him.

Harper needs to reach the public without the Ottawa filter — and the barbecue circuit is one of the few ways he does so.

e read something somewhere recently that suggested journalists are the most cynical breed of professional. Not necessarily saying we agree with that assessment, here are some reasons it could be true.

• Journalists observe a court system that reschedules a court date to set a new date to schedule a hearing to see if there is enough evidence to set a date to set another court date to determine the best date for a trial. Which will then be rescheduled.

• They get front-row seats to developers pitching the finest in green, eco-friendly, affordable, lowimpact housing that, upon closer examination, looks eerily similar to the same $300,000 cookie-cutter vinyl village they plowed down a grove of trees for three years ago, except this time painted in earth tones.

• They get to watch angry citizens accuse government of lack of public consultation, only to learn those citizens have never opened a newspaper, attended a public meeting, or cast a vote.

• They listen as politicians say they are all about listening to the public, then dismiss that same public as “not knowing all the facts,” “politically motivated,” or just plain “wrong.”

• They absorb the scorn of deeply partisan people across the political spectrum who read a news report that puts their party in a bad light, and react by accusing the journalist of bias.

• They watch committees pay consultants good money to investigate a matter of community concern, pat themselves on the back when it is done, then leave the results on a shelf until another committee “updates” the process a few years later.

• They watch good ideas get sucked into the political machinery, neutered and spit back out as bloated, inefficient, over-budget monuments to bureaucracy.

SOARING HYDRO RATES

Stop electric car incentives Editor: Re: Get ready for Hydro rate hikes (B.C. Views, The Times, July 11).

Tom Fletcher’s article reiterates what we have been told for some time. A large part of the future BC Hydro rate increase is caused by the fact that expansion of generating facilities delivers new power at a rate higher than today’s rates.

However, the government is bribing people to switch to electric cars, contributing to consumption increases which will cause rate increases for us all.

Provincial consumption is also high because, although the E-Plus contracts with residential customers expired decades ago, the government is choosing to grandfather the “half-price electric heat” offer for political reasons. It is worth noting that some large government buildings are still being heated this way.

At the same time, the minister is telling us that we are producing more natural gas than we need, so we should be consuming large amounts of energy to compress it

and ship it overseas.

Should the first step not be to switch to natural gas-powered cars, natural gas heating for almost all homes where possible, and for all large government buildings?

The grant money for electric car purchases should be diverted to incentives for this move. Right now, electric cars are causing the burning of fuels at distant power plants anyway, because that is where our “last watt” comes from.

The Detroit Electric was the latest in technology in 1912, but where will power for the latest electric cars come from?

‘Enemy lists’ are not a legacy of conservative politics Editor: From whence did creating “enemy lists” for federal cabinet ministers come?

The claim is made that Stephen Harper’s Conservative Party of Canada is “Canada’s Founding Party,” a “part of the national political movement that has

been building a stronger, safer, and better Canada for over 145 years.” The party claims credit for such things as the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, women’s suffrage and even Confederation itself.

This claim the Harper government is part of a legacy of Canadian conserva-

tive parties is invalid, for never in the past were new ministers in Conservative governments given “enemy lists.”

Those believing that Harper’s government is profoundly conservative must answer this question.

How can this party be part of the

Canadian conservative lineage. What is the conservative reason for creating “enemy lists” for new ministers?

Joe Hueglin, Niagara Falls, Ont. Editor’s note — The letter writer is a former Progressive Conservative MP.

Writer’s problem is a poorly-maintained building Editor: Monica wrote a letter to the editor (The Times, July 16), complaining of the secondhand smoke she must endure because the people downstairs from her smoke cannabis in their suite.

I would say she does not have a marijuana smoke problem, she has a poorlymaintained building problem. If the people downstairs were smoking ciga-

rettes in their suite, that smoke would be coming up into her room, instead of or in addition to the smoke from their joints.

Cigarette smoke is much more toxic than cannabis smoke, so that would be even worse.

She must also smell their cooking odours and probably hears them

No Telus service, no listed phone number Editor: As a Langley resident, I had the latest phone book delivered to my front door. I admired the colt and mare depicted on the cover and then looked to see if our number was listed. It was not.

I then phoned the people who had published what they proclaim to be the ‘Langley Telephone Directory,’ only to be told we were not listed because we hadn’t had a Telus phone installed.

I asked how they could claim

to be the Langley phone directory when all Shaw numbers had been ignored. The reply I got was the curt reply that Shaw should publish a directory listing their phone numbers.

Save paper? Extra expense. And what right has Telus to claim their book listing only their clients is a Langley telephone directory, because it is not.

quite clearly. This must be due to holes between the suites which allows the smoke, odours and noise to move freely.

Those same holes will allow that building to go up like a Roman candle if a fire starts. She must move, as soon as possible. Her child’s life could well depend on that.

In the meantime, perhaps a com-

plaint to the health authorities, the rental board, the building inspectors and so on would light a fire under the building’s owner and get him to fix the problem.

She might also thank the tokers downstairs for drawing her attention to this deficiency in the building.

Taxpayers just keep paying Editor: Re “Metro Vancouver taking Township to court,” (The Times, July 18).

Please, allow me to summarize Jeff Nagel’s excellent article: Township taxpayers pay for a legal opinon on the Wall ALR spot rezoning, Township taxpayers then pay toward Metro Vancouver’s legal bill to try and overturn that opinion, and now Township taxpayers have to pay the legal bill to stop that

challenge in court.

If Mayor Jack Froese and council would have listened to public opinion in the first place, instead of a legal opinion, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

After all, the money could be better spent elsewhere.

J. Beauman, Langley

Trustees are more accountable Editor: As a Langley resident for 18 years, I have seen many things, good and bad, happen.

One thing I am happy about is the present board of education has done more and helped more people than ever before, in my time. Trustees are out in the community and very open to all they come in contact with.

When you call them, they are there to help and serve. They said they would do so, dur-

ing the election, and they have fulfilled what they said they would do.

Chair Wendy Johnson and her team have gone beyond the call of duty. They have cleaned up the mess they were left with.

There is more work to do, and it will get done. The board is putting anti-bullying measures in place, and more will come forth in time. The best is yet to come.

Metro compromises on new recycling policy JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Metro Vancouver has reluctantly agreed to let new mechanized garbage-sorting plants open and extract more recyclables from the waste stream that are now landfilled or incinerated.

The regional district had been poised to ban private firms from opening new mixed-waste material recovery facilities (MRFs) that can take incoming garbage and use various technologies to sort out at least some usable material.

Metro staff originally feared the advent of mixed-waste MRFs would lead to singlebin pickup at businesses and apartment buildings — years of persuading residents to sourceseparate materials would fall by the wayside and the sorting of recyclables from garbage would be left to machinery.

Several green industries also opposed the mechanized solution, predicting it will be inferior and leave them with fewer recyclables and organics to process and more contamination.

But persistent lobbying by Northwest Waste Solutions — which is building a mixedwaste MRF in south Vancouver — has prompted the regional district to make some room for that option.

Metro intends to tightly regulate such plants to ensure they work as billed.

It wants businesses and apartment dwellers to keep separating recyclables from the garbage.

And MRF operators could be fined or lose their licence if

Health Matters multi-dwelling buildings were checked for smoke and it was found that many non-smoking families are continuing to be exposed to tobacco smoke from smokers BOB SANGHA living in the building. Watch Pharmacist, BSc for this to become an issue in the future.

A major reason often cited for not quitting smoking is the potential for weight gain. A study published in the British Medical Journal in July 2012 has found that this is, indeed, the case. However, the amount of weight gained is relatively small – only about 10 lb., and, in fact, 16 per cent of smokers actually lost weight when they quit smoking! Any weight gained is a manageable number stacked against the risks of smoking, so quit first and deal with the weight after.

Pharmacists are an excellent resource when it comes to information and advice – both for quitting smoking and for losing weight. Include them in your strategy for a better chance of success!

The risks of smoking have long been known, but how about a few facts? A study in the United Kingdom has demonstrated that women who quit by middle age drop their excess risk of dying by about 90 per cent over a 12-year period! This translated to an average of an extra 10 years of life. This correlates well with previous studies that noted the same trend in men. So, the message persists: Quit Smoking!

An analysis from Toronto’s St. Michael’s Hospital focused attention on the importance of addressing young people who smoke, as they have the most to gain. In addition to data that say quitting by middle age can add at least 10 years to your life, quitting by age 30 can mean living as long as people who have never smoked! While anyone, at any age, can benefit from quitting, convincing young people to quit reaps the greatest rewards.

As a non-smoker, you may think that recent changes in smoking laws have greatly reduced your exposure to second-hand smoke. However, there remains one area that hasn’t been addressed – your home! Recently,

Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman’s mother Rosa passed away peacefully on Wednesday.

She was 93.

A longtime resident of Penticton, she had recently moved to Langley Gardens as she required more care. Son Rich was proud that he could take her to vote in the recent provincial election, and that she was able to vote for him for the first time.

Mrs. Coleman was a long-time English

teacher, first in Nelson and later in Penticton. She had lived in the same home in Penticton since 1957, and the six Coleman children, five sons and a daughter, grew up there. She also has 21 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

She was predeceased by her husband 32 years ago.

Mrs. Coleman was born in Arrowwood, a village in southern Alberta. She was raised by her father,

You & The Law

PRESENTS Agreement important for business partners

If you are seriously thinking about starting up a business in partnership with someone else, it’s very important to have a proper partnership agreement prepared before too much time, money or energy is spent on the project. Otherwise, the new business could easily develop into a legal quagmire.

Settling the terms of a partnership agreement is a great way to hammer out the key terms of your understanding about what’s expected from each party. If you’re miles apart in your expectations, it’s far better for this to come out early in the game rather than after a problem has already arisen. Untangling troubled partnerships, where there is no written agreement, is almost always very time consuming and expensive.

But, you say, “I’ve known my intended partner since we were kids. I’m sure we can work any problems out.” There are three answers to this. First, until you’ve been in business with someone, you don’t really know how they’ll behave as a business partner.

Second, people often change – particularly if they’re exposed to serious physical, emotional or financial challenges that cannot always be foreseen. Third, partners occasionally die or suffer serious disabilities, leaving their affairs in the hands of a personal representative who you may not get along with at all.

Here are some of the questions a good partnership agreement will address: How much capital is each partner expected to contribute to the business, both at the outset and in response to any future working capital shortfall? What happens if a partner fails to contribute his share?

How will the business be managed? Which decisions can be made by one partner acting alone, and which decisions require unanimity?

What happens if they can’t agree on any decision required to be made unanimously?

What will be the responsibilities of each

partner? How much time is each partner expected to devote to the business?

Will the partners be paid a salary, and if so, how much?

How will profits and losses be split? Will this be affected by the amount of capital invested by each partner, or by the amount of time spent by him or her? (Be mindful that in a true partnership, creditors can sue any partner for all of the partnership’s debts notwithstanding any contrary agreement between the partners.)

What happens if one of the partners dies, or becomes permanently disabled?

What happens if one of the partners wants out of the business and the other doesn’t?

What happens if one partner breaches the partnership agreement and doesn’t remedy the breach within a reasonable time?

If one partner leaves the business, what limits will there be on his or her ability to compete with the remaining partner?

If you don’t have a written partnership agreement, some of the above blanks will be filled in by the provincial Partnership Act. However, these implied terms may not be consistent with your intentions or expectations and may create significant unfairness.

Your lawyer can advise you about the issues noted above and suggest ways of addressing them. He can also explain the pros and cons of using various other business structures, such as a company or limited partnership. He can then develop a properly drafted agreement for you, which addresses the important issues and creates a roadmap to help you avoid any future misunderstandings and controversy.

When it comes to hearing aids, there is no one-size-fits-all, Galick explains.

"All hearing aids are based on a prescription – very similar to eye glasses – so when a hearing aid is recommended, we take several things into consideration such as lifestyle, dexterity requirements and budget.

And for anyone who has difficulty getting to appointments, Ears Hearing Langley is more than happy to arrange transportation to their clinic.

"It's very difficult for some of our clients to make it into the office," noted Galick. "Should someone fall into this category then we'll either arrange a 'Home Visit' appointment or we can provide transportation to come and pick up the client for their appointment and then drive them back home."

Suspect in Langley case faces new charges in Surrey DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

A suspect in a Langley break and enter case is facing new weapons-related charges following a Tuesday, July 16 stop by police in Surrey.

Keith Lewis Moro, described as a 42-year-old man of no fixed address, was arrested by officers with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia (CFSEU-BC) after they spotted a vehicle driving erratically in the Newton area.

A CFSEU-BC statement says a search found a bag in the car

containing a loaded .45 calibre handgun, bear spray, zap straps, and gloves.

Moro has been charged with multiple offences including careless use of a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm with ammunition and possession of a firearm knowing the serial number had been altered, defaced, or removed.

Moro is currently charged by the Langley RCMP with break and enter, two counts of possession of stolen property, and possession of break-in tools.

The CFSEU-BC statement says Moro has a lengthy criminal record dating back to 1991 but is not believed to have any links to gangs.

He is prohibited from possessing any firearms for life stemming from a previous Sudbury, Ontario firearms and drug-related conviction.

He is wanted in Lambton, Ontario for obstructing a peace officer, possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, failing to stop for police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, failing to attend court, and on a number of Ontario Highway Traffic Act warrants. He’s also wanted by the Ontario Provincial Police for failing to comply with an undertaking.

Change for life A downtown Langley coin drive aims to raise enough money to provide 100 Ethiopians with clean water BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

It’s only small change, but when enough of it is gathered, it can add up to big changes for people who need it the most.

Transforming the lives of families in Africa who lack even the most basic necessities, is the aim of a coin campaign centered in downtown Langley City this month.

It was started at the beginning of July by Desiree Wallace on behalf of Hope International Development Agency.

Wallace, a student in Capilano University’s Global Stewardship program, is working with the New Westminster-based organization for the summer. She has been approaching downtown Langley businesses to ask them to participate in a coin drive, with proceeds helping to fund clean water projects in Ethiopia.

In the Bonke region of the east African nation, villagers draw their water from ponds, rivers, and unprotected springs, most traveling up to an hour to access water, which is often contaminated. This leads to disease, diarrhea, dehydration and trachoma (a contagious bacterial infection of the eye) — problems which are made worse by drought conditions, according to the Hope International website.

It costs just $35 to provide one person in the region with clean water for life, explained Wallace.

“It can help transform a life, which is pretty amazing.”

Wallace’s goal is to help 100 people by raising $3,500 during the month-long campaign, which invites shoppers to empty their pockets of all those cumbersome coins.

The campaign actually began as a penny drive. With the one cent coins being removed from circulation in Canada, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to

Langley’s Desiree Wallace, shown here during a 2012 trip to Peru with Hope International, is hoping to raise $3,500 in July through a coin drive at downtown Langley City businesses. The money will be used by the aid organization to provide clean, safe water for villagers in the Bonke region of Ethopia. ask people to donate them to charity.

Pennies were quickly joined by nickels, dimes and quarters as businesses along the Fraser Highway one-way, and beyond, joined Wallace’s fundraiser.

The coin drive is a Hope International initiative, which Wallace has applied locally, she notes. But it’s what happens with that money once it’s collected that matters.

“Hope is all about self-sufficiency,” said Wallace.

The agency works with grassroots organizations overseas, and all the projects in which it becomes involved are piloted locally, she said.

to Africa, Wallace has firsthand experience with overseas humanitarian work through Hope International.

Last year, the Langley Secondary graduate helped raise $10,000 and spent a month with a group in Peru, where the money they brought helped build floating garden rafts.

For much of each year, when the Amazon basin is flooded, agricultural land is left under water, leading to huge food security issues, Wallace explained.

Using the money collected in B.C., villagers built floating gardens which rise and fall with the flood waters, keeping crops high and (relatively) dry.

In the case of the Ethiopian wells, locals will also be in charge of the projects which will bring clean, safe water directly to their communities, saving lives and hours of walking.

On Aug. 1, Wallace plans to host a gathering at the Langley Arts Council’s Artists in Residence gallery for the Langley City businesses that have participated in the month-long campaign.

The event will include live music, refreshments and a screening of the documentary ‘A Thirst for Africa.’

“It’s a very inspiring film. It helps you to understand how transformative the (availability)

of water in villages can be,” she said.

Part of the reason for the gathering, she said was to bring the businesses together and thank them for their commitment to the campaign.

“We (also) want to give them an idea where their efforts are going, and use the event as a catalyst for more change,” said Wallace.

For the young Langley woman, that catalyst was her parents, who she describes as unfailingly generous people.

Growing up as the youngest of seven siblings in Langley, Wallace, 20, developed a social conscience early in life.

When she was five, her mother, Rosemary, brought her to help out at Joe’s soup kitchen at St. Joseph’s catholic church.

“I became aware of poverty and how extending compassion and help to people in need can bring about change,” she said.

In high school, she got involved with Free the Children, which takes aim at childhood poverty and exploitation around the world.

She also co-ordinated LSS’s social justice club.

But it was later, as Wallace traveled in South America, that she noticed something extraordinary about the people she met in the remote Peruvian villages.

“They have next to nothing, but you go into their homes and their arms are wide open and welcoming,” she said.

“I thought, ‘why are these people so content with so little?’

At home, we have so much and people aren’t happy.”

“I think our consumerist culture dilutes our humanity,” said Wallace.

“I began thinking locally — how can we (create) a paradigm shift?” continued, PAGE 19

Valley Biennale draws pair of Langley artists The Fraser Valley Biennale returns this month, drawing artists from both sides of the river to Kariton Gallery in Abbotsford.

And the upcoming show has a distinctive local connection.

A pair of Langley visual artists Alex Stewart (painting/reproduction) and Aldergrove’s Susan Gorris (ceramics) are among the 15 participants who will display their work, during the exhibit, which opens this weekend at the gallery in Abbotsford’s Mill Lake Park.

The Fraser Valley Regional Biennale is a collective art exhibition that celebrates and explores local and regional visual art-making. The project was created in 2011 through a partnership between The Reach Gallery Museum, Abbotsford Arts Council, Mission Arts Council, Maple Ridge Art Gallery and the Langley Arts Council to present a wide range of artwork created by both emerging and professional artists throughout the Fraser Valley.

Adding to the festive atmosphere will be Langley’s Robyn and Ryleigh, who will perform as part of the Envision Concert in the Park series on the show’s opening weekend.

The country pop duo will be on stage from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, July 27.

Concert goers are also invited to take part in Envision Financial’s Full Cupboard program by bringing non-perishable food or cash donations to Mill Lake Park.

Since its launch, more than 2,600 pounds of food and $25,500 has been collected, region-wide, through The Full Cupboard campaign. All food and cash donations will remain in the communities where they are collected.

The Fraser Valley Biennale will run from Friday, July 26 to Tuesday, Aug. 20 at the Kariton Art Gallery, located in Mill Lake Park at 2387 Ware Street in Abbotsford. The gallery’s hours are Tuesday to Friday from noon to 5 p.m., and Saturday to Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The artists will be present at an opening reception on Sunday, July 28, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. For additional information, contact the Abbotsford Arts Council by phone at 604-852-9358, by

Cyclists hit the street for sold-out GranFondo GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Under a bright, beautiful sky, 1,200 cyclists hit the road for the second annual Prospera Valley GranFondo.

“It was spectacular; we couldn’t have ordered better weather, it was beautiful,” said Nerida Bullock, the event’s community

and media relations spokesperson.

The cyclists departed from Fort Langley bright and early on Sunday morning, made their way through the Fraser Valley to Chilliwack and then back again.

The 1,200 cyclists made for a sold-out event and were about 100 more than the inaugural Prospera

Valley GranFondo.

“A little bit of a jump from last year and we anticipate every year it will grow a little bit more,” said Bullock.

“We got a lot of excellent feedback (from last year) and listened to what they told us and made some changes — like getting rid of the hill at 272 Street at the

end of the ride. Really listening to the riders and making changes to reflect their needs.”

Bullock said the event could not have been the success it was without the volunteers, the sponsors and the riders.

“It was a matter of so many pieces of the puzzle coming together at the last minute,” she added.

“We had an amazing group of sponsors this year, an amazing group of volunteers and, of course, the riders putting in their

training and showing up and supporting the event.”

There were approximately 250 volunteers.

“It was great to see how the entire community came together (and) so many people

complimented the area, how beautiful it is and all the gorgeous little shops around the area,” Bullock said.

“It is about the people of Langley — and also the people of Abbotsford and Chilliwack — pulling together and showcasing the Fraser Valley to a lot of outof-town riders.

“It is showcasing the beautiful territory that we have, that we take for granted every day.”

Bullock said it is still too early to tabulate the final number for how much was raised for the GranFondo’s charitable partner, Special Olympics BC. The 2012 event raised $20,000 for SOBC. She also said that the 2014 date for the GranFondo will be announced in the fall.

What a difference a year makes.

Last year at this time, the Langley 2001 Xtreme were at the provincial softball championships but failed to win a single game.

Fast forward to earlier this month (July 12 to 14) in Sicamous and the Xtreme capped off their season with the gold medal.

And the groundwork for the championship was laid at the 2012 tournament.

“We were in the provincials last year but as a first-year team, did not win a single round robin game,” said coach Robert French.

“But it was a great experience … and I learned that to really take a run (at provincials) you need to rest your core, not play them into the dirt.”

And that is exactly what the Xtreme did.

“Having a very strong team top to bottom, I played everyone, took rests as evenly as possible, and balanced the

pitching so that when it came to the finals, my pitching staff had lots of gas left.

“Many teams will play one pitcher game in and game out, then run out of gas in the last game or two.”

In the gold medal game, Langley faced the Surrey Storm 01 squad. The Storm were the top team in the Xtreme’s league during the regular season.

And in the gold medal game — which was a mandatory seven-inning game — the teams were tied at five before Langley scored one run in the bottom of the sixth to pull ahead 6-5. The Xtreme defence then shut the door in the top of the seventh to win the provincial title.

“My goal at the start of the year was to place top three in the province,” French said, adding he and assistant coaches Bill Cox and Dave Wood knew the team had what it would take. “(We) spent the last two years developing the whole team, so that if there was an injury or fatigue, there would be another player able to step

Four members of the Valley Ball Hockey Association will represent B.C. at the junior national championships.

The championships will be held in Oakville, Ont. over the August long weekend.

Playing on the U19 West Coast Express will be Chris Ceraldi while Brad Wightman has been chosen

in at any position, without weakening our chances.

“Plus, we have a deep pitching group and I was able to flip them in an out of innings without any worries.”

Much like the rest of the season, the Xtreme were dominant at provincials, going 7-0 and winning all the games except for two — both of which were against the Storm — by more than four runs.

The other game against Surrey required an epic comeback as Langley was down 7-0 going into the fourth inning but rallied to prevail 9-8.

The Xtreme also beat the Langford Lightning 7-3, the Nanaimo Diamondbacks 16-1 and the Surrey Storm 02 team 12-0.

In the quarter-finals, Langley advanced thanks to a 7-0 win over the South Delta Invaders.

And they doubled up the North Shore Stars 16-8 in the semifinals.

Langley finished the season with just six losses in 60 regular season games, including winning the Lower Mainland Cup in Vancouver earlier this month.

Prospects camp a learning experience GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Colton Beck attended the New York Islanders prospects camp earlier this month. The 23-year-old is entering his senior season with the University of Alaska Nanooks but hopes to play pro following graduation.

Kim wins MJT tour stop Langley golfers figured prominently at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest stop.

James Kim, 15, won the juvenile boys division (ages 15 and 16) by one stroke, finishing with a 1-over par 217 to edge out Winnipegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Scott Lemon.

They were competing at the MJT Odlum Brown Classic PGA of B.C. Junior Championship, which was held at Northview Golf and Country Club in Cloverdale last week ( July 15 to 17).

The victory was the first at an MJT event for Kim, who had to battle through a bad knee which required a brace.

The victory qualifies Kim for both the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) Performance Stars and the FCG San Diego Junior Amateur.

Another Langley golfer, 16-year-old Cole Briggs, was fifth while Cody Shim was 14th.

In the bantam boys division (14 and under), Jae Wook Lee, 14, was second, finishing three strokes behind North Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roy Kang.

Lee shot 70-71-70â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â 211.

Two other Langley golfers cracked the top 10.

Thirteen-year-old Andy Kim was third and 14-year-old Willis Lee was ninth.

And in the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; division, Ye Li Kim, 15, was eighth.

Colton Beck hopes that an on-ice â&#x20AC;&#x153;job interviewâ&#x20AC;? will lead to big things at this time next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a pleasant surprise,â&#x20AC;? he said last week (July 16), the day after returning to Langley from the New York Islanders prospects camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had watched me during the season and gave me an invite to get a better look firsthand and get introduced to their organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a lot of fun, a good week.â&#x20AC;?

The camp was held July 8 to 14 at the Islandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home rink in Long Island, NY. Beck, a 23-year-old, was invited to the Islanders camp alongside the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest draft choices, a list that includes a fellow Langley Minor Hockey Association alum in defenceman Kyle Burroughs.

The 18-year-old Burroughs, who plays in the Western Hockey League with the Regina Pats, was a seventh round pick of New York in last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NHL Draft.

Beck, who enters his senior â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and final â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â season with the University of Alaska Nanooks hockey team has his eyes on playing professionally following graduation.

He said the prospects camp gave him a glimpse into the pro game.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned what it takes to be a pro every day and the compete level you have to bring in all aspects, not just on the ice but in the weight room, too,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How intense you have to be through everything.â&#x20AC;?

But before he thinks any further about turning pro, Beck has his focus set on his final season with the Nanooks.

Last year, the 5-foot-10 185pound winger was the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-leading scorer with 11 goals and 21 points in 35 games. He was also an alternate captain.

His offensive numbers may be down from his final two seasons of junior A hockey with the Langley Chiefs â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â he scored 75 goals and 149 points in 120 games â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â but Beck is loving life in Alaska. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can say it has been the best three years of my life; it has been a lot of fun,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Beck did admit the first year was an adjustment, mainly with the school work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once I got the hang of (school), it was all good,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the hockey has been really good. I have been given a great opportunity of playing big minutes every year I have been there.â&#x20AC;?

Beckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game has developed since his freshman season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His game is evolving in all 200 feet of the rink, which is something we have talked

with him since the first day he stepped onto campus,â&#x20AC;? said coach Dallas Ferguson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He plays in all situations for us, (has) been a key part to our power play and has earned his way onto our penalty kill.â&#x20AC;?

Going into the 2013/14 season, Beck is one of just three seniors on the Nanooks roster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be good, being one of the older guys, a role model to the young guys coming in,â&#x20AC;?

Beck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming into my last season, it is exciting to see what can happen in a yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time and see where I end up after it,â&#x20AC;? he added.

Beck is working towards his degree, majoring in business administration with a minor in accounting.

But hockey remains the goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not going to be giving up hockey anytime soon, if I could play until I was 50, I would love to do that,â&#x20AC;? he said with a laugh.

His coach also sees a future in the game for Beck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has a love for the game, great skill set and mixed with a commitment to be successful, these attributes are why he will get an opportunity to be a professional hockey player,â&#x20AC;?

Ferguson said.

Beck, who will leave for Fairbanks in the third week of August, is training with the Langley-based Impact Hockey Development.

8 PM GRAND PRIZE DRAWING:

quarter-final series against the Vancouver Cannons at McLeod Park, Langley came out on the short end of a 4-1 score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a game plan and stuck to it,â&#x20AC;? said Blaze coach Jamie Bodaly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cash in when we needed to.â&#x20AC;?

The Blaze stranded a dozen runners â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â including twice with the bases loaded â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â while Connor Noble went the distance for the Cannons.

Noble, a member of the Canadian junior national team, threw 133 pitches and struck out 11.

Bodaly said he had no doubt in his mind that if they could have gotten to the Vancouver bullpen, they would have prevailed.

But the Cannons had been a formidable foe all season for the top-seed Blaze who won the regular season pennant with a 39-9 record. Combined with the playoffs, the team was 40-11 and four of those losses came to Vancouver.

Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times

Shoma Sasaki and the top-seed Langley Blaze were upset by the No. 8 Vancouver Cannons over the weekend in the B.C. Premier Baseball League quarter-finals. The Blaze were the top seed with a 39-9 record, but lost 2-1 in the best-of-three series at McLeod Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just matched up well with us,â&#x20AC;?

Bodaly said.

The team was also hurt by a long layoff, coming out rusty in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game one 5-1 loss. The Blaze had not played a league game since late June and had not played a competitive game since returning from a

week-long trip to Los Angeles.

In that game, Mitchell Robinson had the lone RBI. The second game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a must-win for Langley â&#x20AC;&#x201D; saw the Cannons ahead 4-2 heading into the fifth. But the Blaze scored once in the fifth, three times in the sixth and then sealed the

win with a big seventh inning, winning 13-5.

Kyle Ross pitched a complete game for the win.

The offence was led

by Justin Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two RBIs while Shoma Sasaki, Mason Cratty, Michael Dagg and Luke Horanski each had one.

here are many stories of people who need help that are never brought to the forefront of daily life for the rest of us. There are kids who are born into physical or mental difficulties. There are elders who fall into hard times due to medical issues and insufficient family to support them. There are people who need assistance to get through difficult medical issues, and there are people who are just in difficult financial times who could use a hand up or assistance for their children to allow them to have a better life.

There are also many support mechanisms that are offered by good hearted people who want to give back to their community and to be supportive of people in need. Some of these mechanisms are well funded through government subsidies and national campaigns and such while some of them are done on a shoe string budget with only what they can scrape together to help. Some have vast armies of volunteers and some are run by one or two dedicated individuals. All of these groups need help!

Many of us have a difficulty finding time to help in some of those ways as our lives are full just bringing up family, paying the mortgage and making ends meet. Sometimes

we just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time to help like that.

What the Langley Cruise-In does is raise money in the community to assist in funding some of these lesser funded charities. This is your opportunity to join in and help within your community. You can go online to www.langleycruise-in.com and make a contribution. You can make a single contribution or you can make an ongoing contribution.

Either way, this money goes directly to local charities. The Cruise-In committee does not retain any money, it does not pay any salaries, and it does not waste money on extravagances with monies raised. If you would like to make a more direct and personal contribution, you can also come to the Cruise-In on September 7th and make a donation to one of our donation points with cash.

Come down to the show and help us make Langley a better place.
