Cops turn cleaners to help Erin OFF-DUTY OFFICERS VOLUNTEER FOR PRESSURE-WASHING FUNDRAISER DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

DAN FERGUSON Langley Times

Quinlan, 11, was fascinated by a radio-controlled miniature Jeep at Aldergrove Athletic Park at 26770 29 Ave. on Easter Monday. Shawn O’Brien and son Taylor, the Jeep’s owners, briefly paused the action to permit a closer look.

Some off-duty police officers will be spending their weekends off pressure washing Langley driveways, patios and sidewalks to raise money for Erin Kreiter, a Langley woman whose career in science was interrupted when she was paralyzed by a neuromuscular disorder.

The volunteers include members of the Langley, Surrey, Burnaby and White Rock RCMP detachments as well as officers from the Vancouver and Delta municipal police departments.

“They’re from all over,” says retired Langley RCMP officer John Gould, whose company, Dominion Power Washing, is supplying the commercial-grade heated-water pressure washers for the “friends4erin” initiative.

Coulter Berry construction to resume DESPITE POSSIBLE LAWSUIT, “NO CHOICE BUT TO PROCEED”, DEVELOPER SAYS DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

Work on the interrupted Coulter Berry building in Fort Langley was to resume on Wednesday.

“We begin again right where we left off: drilling the geothermal wells under the parkade, while completing the bulk excavation and shoring of the southern wall, all to prepare for the start of permanent

works for the foundation,” said an online message posted by developer Eric Woodward.

The excavated site became known as the “heritage hole” after a lawsuit by opponents of the three-storey building halted work last year.

A judge ruled the building was improperly approved by a variance allowing it to exceed size limits for the area, saying a re-

zoning was required.

After a public hearing that lasted three days, Woodward obtained rezoning approval for a modified, slightly smaller version of the building.

Despite a reported threat of a new lawsuit to block the project, “we have no choice but to proceed,” Woodward said, because the temporary shoring that holds up the sides of the excavation site “are only

designed to last for a short time while permanent foundation walls are constructed [and] will eventually collapse.”

He said the geothermal drilling is expected to take about five weeks .

“It really is time for the Coulter Berry saga to end, and to look to the future. So, I will try to end it, one way or the other, by trying to build it. Again. Starting tomorrow,” his message, posted on Tuesday, said.

Forging partnerships a benefit of fight against pipelines ALYSSA O’DELL Times Reporter

It’s been a long battle with no immediate end in sight for First Nations groups, environmentalists and concerned British Co-

lumbians fighting proposals to develop oil and gas infrastructure across the province.

But one journalist says the political turmoil has resulted in some surprisingly op-

timistic partnerships between First Nations groups and their non-Aboriginal counterparts in B.C..

“I think that’s actually one of the positive things that has come

out of this whole brouhaha,” said the Squamish-based Arno Kopecky, “that all of these pipeline wars we’re in today — whether it’s Kinder Morgan, whether it’s Keystone

XL, whether it’s Northern Gateway — have brought a number of overdue alliances together.”

The optimistic message was met with applause at a Pipe-

Up community forum on the Kinder Morgan pipeline project, held last month at Walnut Grove Secondary.

More than than 50 attendees from the Langley community, of various ethnic backgrounds, gathered at the event.

“These corporations, they don’t care what colour of skin you are, they don’t care what your ethnicity is,” Kopecky told the audience. “We’re all in this together.”

Kopecky recently released his second book, The Oil Man and the Sea, which chronicles his three-month sailing journey into the Great Bear Rainforest region and the proposed oil tanker routes for the recently approved Enbridge Northern Gateway project.

He said he was struck by the First People he met who fought for a say in the decision, even though they (correctly) expected their words to fall on deaf ears.

He said with the current Canadian climate of truth and reconciliation, alongside a growing environmental consciousness, it’s no surprise First Nations are becoming more empowered at the same time the oil and gas industry is facing increased scrutiny.

“In the last few years there’s been a lot of actually important victories and precedents being set with aboriginal law, and certainly in the case of Northern Gateway, the principal hope now is that First Nations will be able to stop this because of treaty rights,” Kopecky said.

“That’s not to say that we should just sit back and just let First Nations take care of this,” he added, cautioning that there is a long road ahead in the effort to strengthen empowerment among indigenous groups.

“Just looking around this room I see a lot of [different] people coming together and showing pride in the land.”

Community halls topic of forum Throughout the years, they have been mainstays of the community, hosting everything from dances and craft fairs, to meetings and marriages.

Halls are part of the fabric of the community, offering places to gather, learn, celebrate, mourn, worship, and keep fit. Next month, the Township of Langley’s heritage advisory committee is hosting a hall societies workshop that will help support the long-term survival of the community’s halls by collecting and documenting information on how local halls are run, funded, and maintained, how volunteers are engaged, and how resources are utilized.

The meeting will be held Tuesday, May 6, at Milner Church Hall, 6716 216 St., from 7 to 9 p.m.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

“Our halls exist at the heart of the distinct neighbourhoods that make up the Township of Langley,” said local historian Jane Watt, who will facilitate the meeting. “We know that halls are really good for our community. They offer inexpensive local places where people can gather and interact. But as the volunteers who run them age, many halls are struggling, not so much with bookings, but in keeping up with all the jobs that help them run well and stay maintained. We hope by collecting data and looking at succession planning we can help these valuable community assets thrive.”

Directors and users of Langley Township’s community halls understand the opportunities and challenges associated with maintaining these buildings and are encouraged to share their knowledge at the meeting. Participants are asked to bring stories and photos of their halls and the events they have hosted over the years to help create a sourcebook on the halls’ histories.

“Langley was built on co-operation, working together, looking out for each other,” Watt said.

“That’s what we want to capture and enhance in our halls workshop and in the halls sourcebook that we will create as a ‘go to’ document for hall volunteers.”

To participate in the hall societies workshop, RSVP to the Township’s community development division at 604-533-6154 by April 30.

New Katzie chief is from Langley MANY ISSUES TO DEAL WITH AS SUSAN MILLER TAKES FIRST FULL TERM OF OFFICE PH I L MEL N Y C H U K Bl ack Pre s s

Susan Miller knows she has her work cut out for her as new chief of the Katzie First Nation.

But with three decades of administrative experience in band offices in the Lower Mainland, (Katzie, Tsawwassen, Kwantlen, Kwikwetlem and the Sto:Lo Nation in Chilliwack), she knows what she’s getting into.

“I understand the dynamics it takes to run an administrative office.”

But now she’s back with her own band, helping the Katzie First Nation as it works its way through the treaty process and seeks a new future.

On April 1, Miller, 51, from the band’s reserve in Langley, began her first full twoyear term as chief.

The new chief and band council were sworn in during a ceremony in Pitt Meadows.

Miller was previously elected to a partial term of office on Oct. 25 of last year in a runoff vote to settle a tied election that was necessary, following the resignation of Ed Pierre as chief in August.

In an interview with Black Press, she talked openly about the discord within the community and how people were not talking to each other at the band’s headquarters on the Katzie’s Pitt Meadows reserve, sandwiched between Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.

“It was like a cemetery,” Miller said.

“I feel like I’m in a prison. This is a community. It needs to come back to being a community.”

She said she would run again for another two-year term, so she can help heal the reserve and the office that almost closed down.

“My goal is to start to change that, to start to heal that,” Miller said. “I believe that I know a lot of the things that need to be done.”

She wants council to become more focused on the community and the band, rather than on internal matters.

The Katzie First Nation is negotiating a treaty with the federal and provincial governments, which will give the nation the ability to run its own affairs.

Miller said that will require shifting mindsets from the paternalism of the Indian Act to operating as an autonomous entity, with a treaty in place.

“When you have the ability to begin to truly govern yourself when it comes to land use, law making, education, the whole world just opens up to you,” she said.

Miller was raised in Langley by her foster mom, Ilona Marshall, who says Miller has been a level-headed type ever since she came into her life.

B lack Pre s s pho to “What amazed me was the sense and character of this Susan Miller is the first chief of the Katzie First Nation elected from Langley.

Hookup costs cut dramatically P ETI TI O N O V E R E X CE SSI V E CO STS GET S T OWN SH IP’S AT T EN T ION DA N F ER GUSON Times Reporter

D A N F ERGUSON La ng ley Times

Hank Hildebrandt couldn’t believe it would cost him $42,000 to hook up to the new East Langley water line, so he did something about it. The Township has reduced the hookup cost, and he will now need to pay $25,000.

When Hank Hildebrandt saw the assessment, he couldn’t believe what the Township of Langley was going to charge him for a new municipal water line.

Hildebrandt, who operates a five-acre farm in the 5300 block of 238 Street, was assessed $42,000 for his share of a connection to the East Langley Water Supply Project, payable in installments over several years.

To actually tie into the water line would cost another $5,000 to $7,000 to install the necessary plumbing and decommission the well he uses.

The Township estimated it would cost around $1.3 million to connect about 30 properties, including the Hildebrandt farm, to the new system.

The property owners were being assessed more than $500 per metre of taxable frontage to cover the projected cost.

“They really tried to hose us,” Hildebrandt told The Times Tuesday, as he related how he and his neighbours fought and won a battle over the connection cost that dropped the price by a substantial margin.

Hildebrandt obtained several estimates, including a written quote from a Langley civil engineering company, that suggested the line could be built for a lot less money, about a quarter of the quoted price.

He also circulated a petition among residents that called the proposed assessments “grossly overestimated” and urged council to investigate a less expensive installation.”

Ken Kostiuk, one of 25 homeowners who signed the petition, said the cost was way out of line given the soil conditions.

“It’s nothing but sand [which is easy to dig up],” Kostiuk said.

Then the price came down.

An unsigned April 4 memo from the engineering division

to mayor and council said the initial estimate of $1.3 million was prepared “before having a design in place” and included “engineering, property costs and contingencies.”

After a competition between three companies, the winning bid to install the water line was $600,000, which engineering boosted by $200,000 to $800,000 to include “some contingency for unforeseen items.”

Based on that, the amount the residents were assessed was cut from $521 to $320 per metre of taxable frontage.

The note takes issue with the lower written bid Hildebrandt obtained, saying it wasn’t clear if the quote included valve fittings, fire hydrants and road work.

“Contract unit rates supplied through a competitive bid process are confidential, but staff can confirm that the unit rates submitted for supplying and installing just 200mm PVC watermain in all three bids are less than what

was provided by [the quote obtained by Hildebrandt], which was obtained without the benefit of a competitive bid process,” the memo says.

The cost to Hildebrandt was reduced from $42,000 to $25,000, and his neighbours have seen their assessed costs drop by similar amounts.

“They [the Township] should still back off a whole lot more as far as I’m concerned,” Hildebrandt said.

“I can live with it,” he added, “but I don’t like it. It still stinks.”

Kostiuk said he’s since learned that residents of another nearby neighbourhood who voted against connecting to the water line have reconsidered and may be willing to connect if they get the same deal.

The $33.5 million East Langley Water Supply project is the biggest ever undertaken by the Township of Langley’s engineering department, with 14 kilometres of water main and a booster pump station.

Celebrities, tapas and autism may sound like an unusual mix. However, it’s a recipe for a fun-tastic fundraising event — one that hits close to home for many families, including David Baskin’s clan.

The bar manager of the Langley Milestone’s is the catalyst for the restaurant’s third annual Milestones Autism Awareness Night.

“This all started as a way to raise awareness for autism by supporting one of our own,” explained Rick Hilliard, general manager of the dining establishment that is no stranger to philanthropy.

To date, the Langley Milestones, located at 20075 Langley Bypass, has raised more than $8,500 during their first two charity functions.

When it came to choosing their latest fundraiser, they chose one that hit close to home.

“David’s son is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and the more we learned, the more we knew that this cause was important,” noted Hilliard.

On April 29 at 4 p.m. everyone is invited to attend the red carpet fundraising event, which will include live acoustic sets and celebrity appearances — Mitch Berger, former NFL Superbowl champion, Craig MacEwen from Sportsnet and Kari Culjat, last year’s winner of Langley Has Talent — just to name a few.

and refreshments, including Cask beer by Howe Sound Brewing.

Tickets ($20) will be available for purchase online or directly at the door the day of the event.

All proceeds from the sales, including gratuities, will go to the BC Autism Society and Harmony House Centre for autism research and education.

While Baskin says his own son, Jack, 8, is fortunate to receive plenty of help, not all autistic children and their families are as lucky.

“Jack is the product of a lot of hard work by a lot of great people. Our goal is to get the same help we get for him for every family in Canada.

More than ever, these families who have children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder need support, advocacy and awareness — especially right here in our community.”

The Milestones Langley team is looking forward to seeing the community once again band together and rally behind a great cause for a third time.

“Come out and support a great cause — we don’t see a dime other than on the food purchases... it’s just a great event. Do something for a worthy cause —we’d love to have you.”

Firefighters were forced to wait at house fire FOUR-MAN CREWS NECESSARY WHEN ENTERING BURNING BUILDINGS DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

Langley Township firefighters had to delay entering a burning house in 2011 because of short-staffing, a report to council has disclosed.

The March 20 memo from fire chief Stephen Gamble, written in response to council questions, shows for 42 per cent of the time over three years (2011, 2012 and 2013) the first fire crews on the scene of residential structure fires in the Township have been three-person crews, below the minimum standard of four.

Most of them, however, were fires which did not require an “offensive attack” where firefighters may enter a burning building.

Only once over the three years were firefighters forced to delay entry until more crews could arrive to help, and then the wait time was “3.02” minutes, the Gamble report states.

The incident took place in September of 2011 when fire caused extensive damage to a heritage house on Old Yale Road near the 216 Street roundabout in historic Murrayville.

The blaze, reported in The Times, was considered suspicious.

It drew half a dozen emergency vehicles including pumper trucks, a fire department command vehicle and an ambulance.

No one was injured and the Gamble report notes there were “no occupants found” inside the burning building.

The heritage house has since been restored.

WorkSafe B.C. regulations require a mini-

mum of four firefighters before going into a burning structure, two to enter the building and two to remain outside.

A previous Jan. 15 report to Township council from Gamble estimated every one of the four halls with full-time firefighters in Langley will fail to meet the minimum four-person crew requirement at different times this year, but the Aldergrove hall at 26316 30A Avenue will be under the four-person crew most often.

From Aug. 4 until Aug. 19, every one of the four shifts in Aldergrove will be operating with three-person crews.

In July, one of the four shifts will run with three people for the entire month.

A follow-up report to council said that was because two of the firefighters in the Aldergrove hall are off on long-term disability, and there aren’t enough available firefighters to cover for them all the time.

Fundraiser planned for injured snowmobiler SH EI L A REYN O L D S Bla ck Pre s s

A fundraiser is planned in Langley this Friday for a Surrey father of two who was critically injured in a snowmobiling accident nearly two weeks ago.

Richard “Chuckie” Smith was riding his snowmobile near Whistler, in Brandywine Provincial Park, on April 13 when he went over a cliff. He was taken to hospital, where his remains in a coma in intensive care.

Almost immediately following the accident, friends and family of Smith pooled their efforts to help out.

A crowd funding page has been set up on FundRazr, which as of Wednesday morning had collected more than $7,900 in donations. It can be accessed at https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/ckA26?psid=11ae3be45c8e4dbf843521010b6330b5.

Smith is an active member of the Langley slo-pitch ball community.

On Friday, April 25 a pub night and silent auction is being held at the Thirsty Penguin Grillhouse at Langley Twin Rinks to further support Smith, his wife and two young children. Tickets are $25 and include food, beer and door prizes. The silent auction features hotel stays, golf packages and a signed Canucks jersey.

A post on a Facebook support page said Tuesday that Smith remained unresponsive and was still running a fever, and though his respiration was good “his

Question langeytimes.com

Just as a series of overpass projects in Langley and eastern Surrey are in the final stages of construction, along comes news that the overpasses may not be adequate to deal with all the rail traffic to and from the Roberts Bank port facilities.

There are plans to drastically expand container handling facilities at the port, which would mean far more trains, and longer ones to boot. This will have the effect of holding up Langley road traffic far more frequently than is the case today.

The flaw with the overpass projects being built under the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor program is that all the Langley projects are on secondary roads. The three busiest roads, Fraser Highway, 200 Street and Langley Bypass, all have at-grade crossings, which cause long traffic back-ups when trains pass.

There are no plans to build overpasses at any of these crossings. Contrast this with Surrey, where the two new overpass projects, on 152 Street and 192 Street, involve the two busiest roads crossing the rail line at grade. King George Highway and Highway 15 have had overpasses since the 1970s, long before containers were being handfed at Roberts Bank.

The brain trust behind the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor program, which is funded by all levels of government, the railways and the port, says that advanced warning signs along busy Langley roads will alert drivers that a train is coming, and this will enable them to divert to a road with an overpass.

While these signs were supposed to be up and running as overpasses open, there is no sign of them yet. And it is uncertain how effective they will be.

The two Langley governments need to push the federal and provincial governments. and the railways, for a Langley Bypass overpass. After all, this is a provincial highway and many of its users will have no idea which alternate routes will get them over the tracks.

This needs to be a high priority.

of the week

Should Langley Township bring in a tree-cutting bylaw?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

We need to change they

say

The angst at the pump these days is predictable.

Anytime somebody informs you the cost of living is going up by a few hundred dollars, or more, during the next year, the groans are in-

evitable.

Unfortunately, what also seems inevitable is the resignation.

Gas price hikes aren’t new, or unusual. It wasn’t that long ago that prices were under a dollar per litre, and at least half the people reading this are going to remember filling up when that rate was less than 30 cents a litre.

Every time those rates jumped, people greeted the jump with the same type of response we heard Thursday.

And every time, by and large, people continued to do what they’ve always done — filled up their cars and headed out to the highway.

The simple fact of the situation is all of us are slaves to the gas pump. Try as we might to avoid it, our society is built around the automobile and has been for at least 60 years.

Where we live, where we work, where we learn, where we eat and where we play are often impractical and sometimes impossible to link without the aid of a gas-powered vehicle.

Most of us don’t think we can do anything about it; it doesn’t occur to some of us why we should even try.

But we need to. We need to start directing our society away from its reliance on gas.

It’s easy for some to dismiss the climate change crowd as intellectual zealots, and the 100-mile diet people as trendy hipsters, but the fact remains: we can’t continue down the path.

Never mind the environmental issues, we simply will not be able to afford it financially.

The future is coming and our lives are going to be different.

Start embracing change before change buries us all.

Local politics a microcosm of national attitudes Editor: What we see at our local political level in Langley appears to be a microcosm of the political attitude towards the environment right across all levels of governance in Canada, from Stephen Harper to Christy Clark, and our local MLAs down to Mayor Jack Froese and his sympathetic councillors.

On all levels there is a blatant disregard for staggering evidence concerning global warming, and the need to recognize that it is nature that not only sustains us on a personal level but is vital to the continuation of life itself. Sound scientific evidence is seen as a roadblock to profits for shareholders, so it is either lightly dismissed, ignored or demonized and simply stricken from government data.

Canada’s horrendously poor environmental record is reflected at our local level. When even just the attempt at bringing in a tree bylaw is met with such a negative backlash, one has to wonder at just how educated council is on the issues of the environment and global warming.

On all levels, we need forward-thinking, governing bodies that have vision for new energy technology, for new ways of creating community, and for making our communities food-secure. ALR land needs to be used for growing food to counter distant and foreign food dependency, instead of being nothing other than a quaint holding pen for future developers.

Politicians, you might want to consider locally sourced food security for the Fraser Valley before you sell out to profiting shareholders who care nothing outside of lip service for the welfare of local residents. And, please, no thinly veiled excuses about the land not being farmable.

We need forward-thinking, innovative, environmentally intelligent leaders at all levels of government.

The prevalent dangerous attitude towards the environment has us all on a very nasty track with an unthinkable destiny.

Our current set of politicians and councillors has to go. Why? At the top of the list one might want to consider an apparently chronic and systemic disregard for a well-educated, scientific approach towards the environment, how we live within it, and how we affect the quality of our lives and that of future generations.

We have one home and one home only, this tiny blue dot in the galaxy.

We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.

EDITH SCHWARTZ, LANGLEY

Follow the money on U district Editor: I’m sure most people familiar with this dispute know what it is about.

The official story that is.

But like all things political and monetary, a closer look is necessary.

Who benefits, who might be harmed?

What makes it so important that Metro Vancouver must assert its dominion over Langley Township, after a decisive loss in the courts over the Trinity Western Univesity district?

It must be something so important that a further court loss, not to mention tens of thousands of dollars more of taxpayers’ money, would seem insignificant by comparison.

It can’t be political power or political gain, as those folks come and go quite regularly.

That leaves money. Money in the form of real estate.

Not the real estate around Langley’s university district.

That will take decades to appreciate.

I’m talking about the real estate around Vancouver’s UBC,

and to a lesser extent Burnaby’s SFU. Residents in these areas form a powerful if seemingly silent lobby.

They believe their proximity to their major downtown universities justifies and maintains their property values.

This is very true.

And the very real possibility of another university district scares them.

Vancouver real estate is some of the priciest (read: best investment) in the world.

These downtown universities and the investors who covet that land are a big part of that price.

They will lobby hard to prevent Langley’s university district from going ahead.

So while Metro scrambles through the courts with assertions about this and that, do yourself a favour and remember to “follow the money.”

BRIAN MAHON, LANGLEY

Trees won’t withstand development Editor: Re: any proposed tree preservation proposal in Fernridge. Fernridge is slated for development. Subdivisions and large trees with shallow root systems in sandy soil are a deadly mix.

I have witnessed many 40-year-old downed trees for this reason in this area, in the winter months. Come development time, individual developers will use arborist’s reports, as required by the Township, to confirm this fact and all the large trees on private property in Fernridge will be removed legally, just like they were in Willoughby and Walnut Grove before it.

You can’t have a death-defying 30-metre tree within 30 metres of a home, so each tree is going to need a city lot around it as a safety zone. This is clearly finacially impossible.

Council knows this, but I expect they welcome this controversial issue for, in Langley, at election time, even bad press is good press as most voters in Langley vote for a well-known name, rather than a new progressive council we so desperately need.

The headlines say it all to Canadians Editor: Here is a sample of recent headlines from a variety of media sources.

“Canada to send 6 CF-18s for NATO operation in Eastern Europe — About 20 Armed Forces personnel, to be based in Mons, will also help with security” - CBC News.

“Waitresses in Saskatchewan lose jobs to foreign workers — Long-term employees fired and heartbroken” - CBC News.

“Vancouver is the most ‘Asian’ city outside Asia — What are the ramifications?” - Vancouver Sun. “Peter MacKay wishes Canada’s Afghan troops had been better prepared — 158 Canadian soldiers died during the

war in Afghanistan” - CBC News.

“McDonald’s accused of favouring foreign workers — Ottawa cracks down over Canadian worker complaints of fewer jobs, less hours” - CBC News.

“10 myths about taxes that mislead Canadians — Misinformation, misunderstandings abound when it comes to our tax system” - CBC News.

The headlines say it all. Prime Minister Stephen Harper is an inept destructor and by default we’ll get another one in Justin Trudeau.

Bitumen exports are bad for environment, economy

My name is David Black. I am the majority owner of Black Press, the company that owns this newspaper. This is the first of two columns addressing what I see as the greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime. I am a reasonably sensible and conservative businessman, not an alarmist. All of the information in this column can be confirmed from public sources.

The oil industry wants to export Alberta bitumen to Asia via tankers. Under no circumstances should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea could destroy our coastline, together with the fish and wildlife that depend on it, for hundreds of years.

Bitumen, even if it is diluted, does not float in sea water if there is sediment present. This has been proven many times, most recently in a thorough Environment Canada study published on Nov. 30, 2013. Page 51 of the study provides graphic evidence of sunken bitumen. Given that there is an abundance of sediment along the B.C. coast, the bitumen will sink rapidly and there will be little chance of recovering any of it if there is a spill.

By Northern Gateway’s own admission, the likelihood of a bitumen spill at sea is over 10 per cent, over the next 50 years.

Others say that it is much higher. We are in agreement with the position taken by the Coastal First Nations that even the slightestrisk of a spill of bitumen at sea is unacceptable.

The grounding of the Exxon Valdez in Alaska in 1989 is often held up as an

example of how bad an oil spill at sea can be, however, a spill of bitumen at sea would be much worse. The Exxon Valdez carried light crude and lost 250,000 barrels, one-eighth of a tanker load. The light oil floated and could be removed from the beaches.

Even so, after four years of work with up to 11,000 workers and 1,400 boats involved, less than 10 per cent of it was recovered.

Roughly 200,000 birds and many kinds of other wildlife were killed. Approximately 1,300 miles of shoreline were affected and the fishery has yet to fully recover.

Bitumen is very different. It would harden up on shore and much of it would sink to the bottom, making it unrecoverable and killing virtually everything with which it came in contact. Some say that, with GPS-based navigation and double hulls, spills such as Exxon Valdez are not possible today. They are wrong. Double hulls do not prevent hull fracture if there is a collision at speed, only if there is a gentle scrape.

As for the GPS claim, most marine accidents are caused by human inattention, not by a lack of knowledge about position. All ships carried systems to indicate their location before GPS came along. The Exxon Valdez crew could have glanced at their instruments to determine their location but they didn’t.

Neither did the crew on the Queen of the North. Marine disasters regularly occur and a quick search of the Internet shows human error is most often the problem.

Undoubtedly there will be many more marine accidents in future. Our grand-

children will not thank us if we willingly risk the destruction of the B.C. coast on our watch.

Fortunately there is a solution that is beneficial for all concerned: all we have to do is build a refinery at Kitimat. The refinery will convert the bitumen to gasoline, diesel and jet fuel which float and evaporate if they are spilled. Often little or no spill remediation is required.

These refined fuels simply do not cause the habitat destruction of conventional or synthetic crude oil, or anywhere near the devastation caused by bitumen.

The second part of this op-ed will run next week, and discuss the enormous value-added benefits and environmental advantages of a modern green refinery. The pipeline from Alberta and the tanker fleet to export the refined fuels will also be considered.

Let me declare my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in B.C. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers.

I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern tanker fleet that carries only refined fuels that float and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers.

If you agree that we should not put bitumen in tankers please contact your local MP and say so. The Canadian government makes a decision on this next month.

David Black is the owner of Black Press and proponent of Kitimat Clean, a proposed oil refinery in Kitimat.

Earth Day 2014 will likely go down in B.C. history as less exciting than last year’s event.

That was the day when, in the heat of the election campaign, NDP leader Adrian Dix announced in Kamloops that he doesn’t support the expansion of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline to its Burnaby terminal, because Vancouver shouldn’t become a “major oil port.”

As of this Earth Day, it has been an oil port for exactly a century, since Imperial Oil began work on B.C.’s first refinery in 1914, in what is now Port Moody. There were no pipelines then, so crude was moved by rail or tanker.

For 60 years, Trans Mountain has supplied the Chevron refinery in Burnaby that is southern B.C.’s last source of fuel. Some of the Alberta crude is piped south to be refined into fuels and some of that product is barged back up to B.C. to keep our traffic moving.

Today, the proposals to expand and upgrade that pipeline, and to build new oil and natural gas pipelines across the north, dominate B.C.’s political scene.

In keeping with the educational aspect of Earth Day, here are some things you may not know about energy and the environment.

Angel auction to help Langley’s less fortunate MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Everybody can be a hero and Kim Snow of Kimz Angels has found a way to celebrate each person.

“There are so many heroes in Langley.

Average people are not appreciated like they should be so we thought, here is their chance,” she said.

Always trying to find new ways to help out Langley’s less fortunate, Snow has started an online auction on her Facebook page Kimz Angels where people can bid on items donated by local heroes.

All the funds raised, whether it be $5 or $50, will go to help those in need.

“I thought, let’s make it fun while still helping people,” she said.

Funds raised in the beginning will go help get a new wheelchair van for Langley’s Kim Ashdown.

The young woman in her 20s has cerebral palsy and is confined to a wheelchair.

Her family had bought an older wheelchair van to take her on outings but it broke down before Christmas.

Outside of her limited HandyDart outings, she is stuck at home. Kimz Angels is trying to change that.

The first person to offer up an auction item is local blues artist Tim Butler, who recently cut off his long locks and donated

them to the House of Miss Rose.

He has a baseball cap he put up for auction. Within a week, a client of Snow’s, Kurt Vachou bought the cap for $100.

Janet Wallick, a Langley mortgage specialist and volunteer with Kimz Angels, is auctioning off a signed hockey jersey and stick next.

The auction items will be ever-changing.

Snow is hoping that it will also be a platform for people to nominate local heroes to donate something, like a local firefighter, teacher, hockey player, coach.

Snow and her angels, especially Steve Stew who donated the Kimz Angel truck, have been busy bringing donated food and

She also brings diapers and baby needs to Basics for Babies every week, helping out struggling new moms, and has found homes for more than a dozen people, furnishing their new places as well, all from donations from Langley residents.

The need out there and the number of mentally ill people living on the street instead of getting help is “heartbreaking,” she adds.

Mosquito Control Hotline Metro Vancouver has created a Mosquito Control Hotline for Township residents. Culex Environmental, the regional mosquito control contractor, will log and respond to all mosquito-related calls and visit sites if requested by the public.

Calls can range from concerns about standing or stagnant water floodwaters, adult ”biting mosquitoes,” or “spraying or fogging.”

Also, remember the 4 Ds: Drain – your property of standing water Dusk/Dawn – take extra care Dress – cover up and wear long sleeves Defend – use repellents when appropriate

Don’t Spray – Make Salad Did you know dandelions that are not sprayed are edible? Try adding the leaves to a tossed salad. The leaves taste best before the dandelion flowers.

YOUR HEALTH President’s own story: 15 years ago I started to have arthritis, prostate, kidney, snoring and sleep apnea problems, which were all helped quickly with natural health products. I made it my life’s purpose to help others. Nick A. Jerch

ARTHRITIS

Source of calcium for the maintenance of good health.

Helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.

Truthful actual experiences from real people: For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON I suffered for years. I tried everything and finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. After this experience I realised I could help many of those 5 million Canadian that suffer every day and night and I started to sell this same type of shark cartilage and helped hundreds of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all.

Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle Products. Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can #1NPN 80042283 sleep at night” Arthritis Pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister…hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns.

Brookswood Secondary students sign a $5,000 donation for Langley Memorial Hospital’s residential care homes. Funds will go to new dishes and cutlery.

Brookswood students help seniors at LMH Five Brookswood Secondary School students will make a huge difference in the lives of 200 seniors living in residential care homes at Langley Memorial Hospital.

Their $5,000 donation will go towards the purchase of new cutlery and dishes, so those patients can spend more time — including holiday dinners — with their families.

Part of the money will also go towards buying special mats to place near seniors’ beds, so the risk of falling and hurting themselves when they get in and out of bed is significantly reduced.

The Grade 10 students involved — Marcus Loden, Sidney Lancaster, Cherise Roberge, Melissa Ulle and Julia Marshall — are also the winners of this year’s Brookswood Secondary ‘Youth in Philanthropy’ initiative.

The object of each group involved was to pick a charity and develop a presentation describing why theirs should win the prize money.

The students called Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation to ask if there was a group that could benefit from this drive.

Ulle says after chatting with do-

nor, event and community relations co-ordinator Melissa Pettit, they wanted to do what they could to help.

“Once we talked with everyone, we heard so many amazing things and we really wanted to do this charity work. It made us sad to know they can’t have proper dinners.”

Residential Services Director Laura Choroszewski says it’s a big gift for them because now families of those who live at the facilities can spend more quality time with them.

“One of the things we started last year was to make a meaningful Christmas dinner. Our goal was to include families in that. But one of our barriers is that we don’t have enough dishes to be able to have residents invite their families to enjoy Christmas dinner with them. So this money will allow us to purchase those dishes, and this year we’re hoping to have a big Christmas dinner and invite all of the families to join them.”

The five high school students, along with Brookswood Secondary School Principal Marcello Moino, presented the cheque for $5,000 to LMHF on April 17.

Residents along a portion of Zero Avenue aren’t thrilled about the nesting Canadian geese and babies in their neighborhood.

Drivers urged to watch for crossing geese WANDERING WATERFOUL PRESE NT A DANGER, ACCORDING TO RC MP MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

They may be called Canada geese by name, but by address they are very much American. Langley residents living along a portion of Zero Avenue wish these waterfowl would stay in the States.

The Canadian geese are already nesting and babies are hatching.

Then they will start crossing the road several times a day in the 23200 block of Zero Avenue, said resident Trudy Handel.

“It’s been a real frustration. Drivers are going way too fast, and many geese and babies are killed each year,” said Handel. Neighbours have just put up their own sandwich boards on the side of the road last week saying “watch for baby geese.”

The Township did put up another Watch for Wildlife sign but it hasn’t helped with many drivers looking for deer crossing, said Handel.

Apparently the grass is greener on the Canadian side, as this year’s batch of mother geese get ready to take their goslings from their swamp home on the American side of Zero Ave. across the road to the Canadian side to eat grass several times a day.

The Langley RCMP are aware of the problem and are warning drivers to watch for this “seasonal hazard” and slow down. Speed enforcement may be looked at for that area.

Handel said it’s not so much about the geese, but about the dangers of

Sandwich board signs haven’t been proving effective in geese fatalities. these feathered friends crossing the road.

“Someone is going to get hurt.”

She hears drivers honking at the geese and has seen near rear-enders and head-on collisions as drivers try to maneuver around the big birds.

Handel has spoken to wildlife experts and fencing doesn’t even deter these determined American geese from crossing the road.

Neighbours in the area are hoping for some speed enforcement and a dramatic sign warning drivers.

Newbery will focus on safety, jobs if elected in City Sharon Newbery, a local entrepreneur, is throwing her hat into the ring for Langley City Council.

Her platform will include safety in Langley City. She has seen firsthand the crime that plagues Douglas Park after dark.

“I have seen drugs and alcohol being consumed in the park at all hours. People are especially afraid of going into the park when dusk hits and they shouldn’t have to be.

“This is our park and everyone should be able to use it without fear. I want to help find a solution to the problem,” said Newbery.

Newbery will strive to help bring business and jobs back to the City of Langley.

“Far too many people have to commute to Vancouver to get the higher paying jobs and the IT jobs.

“It’s time to bring those jobs to Langley

City and let people enjoy working and playing in their own community,” she said.

She will fight to ensure that derelict buildings in Langley City are managed effectively or, in many cases, demolished.

She wants to see the reinstatement of yellow curbs in areas where parking is prohibited as well as blue curbs for parking for the disabled.

Newbery was born in Murrayville and has lived in Langley most of her life.

She obtained her accounting diploma at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and bought her first Coffee News franchise in 2005.

She grew the business until she owned six franchises; North and South Langley, Cloverdale, Fleetwood, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge. She sold the business in 2013.

In 2011 while still operating Coffee News, Newbery started a bookkeeping business under her corporation Rheanew Business Solutions Inc. She is an active member of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce S H A RO N and for many N EWBERY years served on the board of directors. During her term on the board she was the Community Director for South Langley, was the chair of the

Angie Quaale, Langley’s 2013 Business Person of the Year, has formally announced her intention to run for a seat on the Township of Langley Council.

Quaale has been a tireless community booster for many years and will run an optimistic campaign with the theme “Asking good questions that lead to positive results.”

“I love this community,” said Quaale in a kickoff message posted to her campaign’s Facebook page today.

“Our Township is an outstanding place to live, work and play, and I’m passionate about making it even better.

“As a new councillor, I think I can serve you best by asking good questions that lead to meaningful discussions and positive results. By that I mean questions that open our community up to new opportunities and ideas.”

ANGIE Quaale’s campaign QUAALE will focus on three key areas: agriculture, transportation and economic development. In her message she shared what she sees as the most important questions facing the Township: “How can we build on our strengths in food production and land use as the agricultural centre of the Lower Mainland?

What can we do to improve transportation within the Township so we can all get around more easily? How can we maintain the right balance between residential, agricultural, commercial and industrial development so we can grow in ways that preserve our great quality of life?”

Quaale promised voters that as a councillor she will “bring an open mind, ask thoughtful questions, and work on your behalf to find answers that lead to positive results. I believe there are so many ways to make the Township an even stronger, more successful community.

Together, we can build on our winning spirit, thriving culture and rich heritage to make our community the best place to live in the province.”

It’s a combination that will make for a really enjoyable afternoon.�

Last year, a group of students in the Langley Fine Arts School Green Team partnered with other volunteers, community groups, businesses, and the Township of Langley to create a new community garden in the park. The group built and now maintains 60 boxes, which give members of the public a chance to grow their own organic vegetables and flowers.

The garden will be officially opened during the Arbour Day celebration, and guests are invited to tour the facility and help by planting small fruit shrubs such as blueberries and huckleberries or annual flowering plants like lavender. Langley Fine Arts School students will also be on hand to meet visitors and assist with planting in the garden,

and the LFAS jazz band will greet people with music and perform a concert in the park’s band shelter after the opening ceremony.

Guests can take bucket rides, enjoy interactive displays and activities, and speak to master gardeners and arbourists, including Richard Hallman, who will offer advice on fruit trees. Composting techniques can be observed, face painting will be offered, and visitors can take away a free bag of compost.

A special presentation will be made to Green Team leader Devon Azevedo, who spearheaded the idea for the garden. As well, fruit trees will be planted by members of Langley Township council to commemorate members of the community who passed away the previous year, but left a lasting legacy.

This year, trees will be planted in honour of: - Alexander (Sandy) Wakeling, Director of Communications for Langley School District 35; - Allan Thain, the man who brought Shakespeare to Langley; - Sgt. Pierre Lemaitre, RCMP; - Ruth ErickTHAIN son, Township of Langley pioneer; -Beverly Gold, children’s entertainer Mr. Flowers; - Brad Reid, Township of Langley pioneer and farmer in certified organic chicken farming; - Willard Ball, Township of Langley businessman and resident; - Norman Sherritt, honourary Township of Langley pioneer; - Austin Kingsborough, Township of Langley student; - Brendan Wilson, Township of Langley student; - Mildie Berry, Township of Langley pioneer and farmer; - William (Bill) Bettles, former Township of Langley Parks and Recreation Commissioner; and - Jack Worrell, Township of Langley pioneer.

Funding that will be used to buy plants and conduct site preparation work for Arbour Day has been made available through a $4,000 grant provided by Tree Canada’s Edible Trees Program, and its sponsors Silk, Loblaw, and Telus.

Early Years Centre now open at Willoughby Elementary

Submitted photo

Members of Langley Legion Branch 21 gathered at the cenotaph in Langley City’s Douglas Park on April 9 to mark Vimy Ridge Day. The day commemorates the battle of Vimy Ridge and honours the Canadians who victoriously fought in the battle in northern France during the First World War. The Langley Legion is located at 20570 56 Ave. and always welcomes new members. Any man or woman aged 19 or older can become a general member and people need not have served in the military or be related to someone who has to join.

Call 604-534-3615 or visit facebook.com/LangleyLegionBranch 21 for information on ongoing programs and weekly events.

Seven excited moms with young children arrived by car and stroller at the new Early Years Centre at Willoughby Elementary on April 8.

They came for the Infant Development Play Group — a twohour session for children to develop motor skills and meet other children.

The service is delivered by the Langley Child Development Centre. Other services delivered at the site include a family resource program for parents/ caregivers and young children that fosters healthy child development and that builds toward readiness for school; a mothers and tots program for Spanish-speakers; and an IPALS program focused on early literacy development and school preparation for children in immigrant families.

IPALS stands for Immigrant Parents as Literacy Supporters.

“We’re thrilled to be able to establish a site in Willoughby”

said Lynne Pearson, executive director of Langley Child Development Centre.

“We know that Willoughby has the highest number of young children of any Langley neighbourhood and we hope from this centre we can more efficiently serve our families in Walnut Grove.”

“This is only the beginning of services,” said Bill Dartnell, executive director of Langley Community Services.

“This is a limited opening of one room at Willoughby Elementary on four days a week.

In the fall, however, one wing of the school will become the Early Years Centre, offering a much wider variety of early years services.”

Willoughby Early Years Centre is a partnership between the Langley Early Childhood Development Committee, School District 35, Langley Community Services, Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services,

and Langley Child Development Centre, with the support of the Township of Langley and many Langley service providers.

In September the centre will expand its services to include a preschool, children’s library story time, recreation services and educational opportunities on topics that will support children’s overall development.

Strong Start will continue to be provided as part of the centre.

“This has been a unique venture between a whole constellation of services for young children,” said Lynne Topham, Executive Director of Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services.

“It’s a testament to the power of collaboration when a community works together to provide local services.

“Now we’re looking forward to working with the families in Willoughby and North Langley to ensure this center successfully meets their needs.”

GVHBA to celebrate Ovation winners on April 26

By Kerry Vital

The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association will honour the winners of the Ovation Awards on April 26 at a gala ceremony in downtown Vancouver.

The annual awards, now in their fifth year, honour the best of the best in the residential construction industry in Metro Vancouver.

The awards include honours for new-home construction,

renovations and design. Among the projects named as finalists this year are beautiful custom homes, stunning townhome communities and incredible kitchen renovations, just to name a few. The Ovation Awards highlight some of the best projects GVHBA members have built, renovated, designed and marketed in the Lower Mainland.

“More than ever people are expecting to buy the best and they want to do it locally,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “That’s why GVHBA launched the Ovation Awards: so that

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

homeowners can know who the best of the best builders and renovators are in Metro Vancouver.”

Companies of all sizes have been named finalists, from largescale developers to single-person renovators. As local builders and developers, every finalist is committed to ensuring their clients receive the best service possible and are happy with the finished product. Plus, homeowners will have peace of mind in knowing that they are working with people who have been recognized as top-notch in their field. The local companies honoured at the Ovation Awards are committed to positively impacting how and where we live by building communities and renovating neighbourhoods.

“By working with an Ovation Award winner or finalist, homeowners know they’re working with the industry leaders in building, renovation and design,” says de Wit. This year’s ceremony will be emceed by comedian Damon Schritter, and will take place at the Marriott Pinnacle Downtown Hotel.

The Amazing Brentwood will start previewing its first residential tower on April 26. The 28-acre site will be the largest and most impressive new residential community in North America, and will include transit, shopping and dining right on-site.

Making Brentwood amazing with Shape Living

By Kerry Vital

Shape Living is transforming Burnaby’s Willingdon and Lougheed neighborhood into North America’s largest and most impressive new residential community.

Formerly known as Brentwood Town Centre, Shape is redefining the area as “The Amazing Brentwood.”

The project will include a commercial district with shopping, dining and entertainment, capped with some seriously impressive homes. Ten residential towers up to 70 storeys tall are planned and will be home to up to 4,200 residences. Two other towers will be set aside for offices. The existing Brentwood Town Centre mall is getting a complete facelift and will re-open before residents move in.

“The sheer size of the 28-acre Brentwood development makes it noteworthy, but what we are really passionate about is how Brentwood takes the art of great place making and the convenience of mixed-use transitoriented development to a whole new level,”

says Darren Kwiatkowski, Executive Vice President of Development for Shape Living.

“Brentwood will deliver a truly unique offering in the marketplace.”

Transit is a major part of the new Amazing Brentwood community, with SkyTrain arriving directly in the heart of the development at the public plaza, a one-acre space that will be full of shops and restaurants, with over 350 shops and services available once the project is complete. Two of the residential towers will surround the plaza, making shopping, dining and recreation just an elevator ride away. Homeowners at The Amazing Brentwood will also have access to a fully equipped fitness facility, music room and plenty of outdoor space to relax or visit with neighbours and friends, among other amenities.

The first tower is called Brentwood ONE, and will include 291 condominium homes.

Luxury homes will start on the 33rd floor and rise to the 63rd floor. Below that will be boutique rental properties.

The one-bedroom-and-flex condominiums will be available in a range of floorplans between 539 and 560 square feet, while the two-bedrooms will range between 728 and 903 square feet.

“They have paid incredible attention to detail at The Amazing Brentwood,” says Tracie McTavish, president at Rennie Marketing Systems. “They’ve thought things

through, and everything is high quality.”

Among the gorgeous features at Brentwood ONE will be amazing views from every home and gourmet Italian-imported kitchens with tons of storage, a gas cooktop and a convenient kitchen island.

“These kitchens are 40 per cent larger than the usual kitchens,” says McTavish.

Nine-foot ceilings are standard throughout, and every home includes a spacious balcony perfect for entertaining.

“Shape Living really looked at the livability of these homes,” says McTavish. “They call it ‘intelligent living.’”

Shape is providing some thoughtful details in every home as well, including a side-byside washer and dryer, USB and four-plug outlets and at least one parking stall and storage space.

The sales centre will open for previews on April 26.

“This is something you have to come in and experience,” says McTavish. “It’s that impressive. They’re really catering to consumer demand. If you are planning to buy a condo anywhere, you need to come here first.”

Homes at Brentwood ONE start at $299,900 for a one-bedroom and $382,900 for a two-bedroom home. For more information, visit www.theamazingbrentwood.com or stop by the presentation centre and three show homes at 4567 Lougheed Highway, Burnaby.

It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t every day that Jay Miller fills an order for his company to custom-paint one of their heavy duty concrete pump trucks pink.

However, it was a bright hue the Alliance Concrete Pumps logistics co-ordinator from Aldergrove and his coworkers were all pretty excited about â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially upon learning later on that the custom colour for the 37Z Boom was for a great cause and a very special lady. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The customer (Jarrad Garone) bought this specialized pump truck back in the fall and requested it be painted in pink because he wanted to surprise and support his wife who battled breast cancer,â&#x20AC;? explained Miller, whose own wife, Lorie, is a cervical cancer survivor.

As the truck came down the assembly line in all its pink, shiny glory, the team at Alliance Concrete Pumps werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware of the back story, other than the fact that it was one big pink truck, notes Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until the decals, art work and the breast cancer sign came on that everyone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; myself included â&#x20AC;&#x201D; knew what it was all about.â&#x20AC;?

The inspiration for the set of hot wheels, Tara Garone, is a mother of three girls in her mid-30s, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in March of 2012. Fortunately, her doctors caught the cancer quickly and performed surgery immediately. Today, she is cancer free â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the chance of it returning are less than one per cent.

In addition to bringing attention to an important cause, the truck serves as a symbol for the journey that Tara and the countless other women who have battled the devastating disease endure.

The order was to honour Jarrad Garoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Tara, a cancer survivor. The local company also presented a cheque for $10,000 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

To send the truck to its new home in style â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all the way across the continent, and the border, to New York State â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the driver, Calvin Bowles, decided to coordinate colours with his one-of-a-kind ride and collect donations along the way for the American Breast Cancer Society.

Jarrad Garoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business is located in Mechanicville, in upstate New York. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When our driver heard the details of this truck and why it has been painted pink, he decided to dress in pink for the entire trip,â&#x20AC;? said Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His wife and daughter also bought him a pink cowboy hat to wear.â&#x20AC;?

Langley’s new allday pre-Kindergarten CEFA-Willowbrook is getting ready to kick off a grand opening celebration on Saturday.

The fun-filled family event is open to the public and will feature school tours, prizes, face painting, refreshments, colouring contests a visit from Owly, CEFA’s mascot and a chance to save on enrolment fees.

“Everyone who comes will get a special savings that they wouldn’t get if they didn’t register through the grand opening event,” said Brenda Ip, the franchise owner of the new location at 20510 Langley Bypass, that officially opened for business on March 1.

Festivities run from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., complete with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended

by Langley City acting Mayor Ted Schaffer. A special unveiling ceremony of an expansive wall mural depicting the City of Langley

Su bmitte d Pho to

Langley’s newest all-day pre-Kindergarten is holding a grand opening celebration on Saturday. “through the eyes of a third-grader’’ will also take place, noted Ip. “Thirty pieces were submitted to us from Grade 3 students at Blacklock Elementary — we have voted on

one that Langley City Councillor and former Arts Council President Rosemary Wallace will paint as a mural on our wall.”

The mural will serve to celebrate both the

new school and the City, says Ip. “We wanted to paint a mural, but not just an ordinary mural — we wanted it to be a contribution to the City of Langley … what the City means through the eyes of children.”

There are currently 16 students enrolled at CEFA-Willowbrook — the school can accommodate 112 at full capacity.

The franchise, which includes 14 locations across the Lower Mainland, was established

by Natacha V. Beim in 1998. CEFA’s full-day early learning program is designed for infants and children up to five years old. It has a reputation of highly developing a child’s intellect and delivering the finest start in education, arts and the humanities. The program at CEFA is far beyond the typical child care programs found throughout Canada.

Brown aims for next challenge GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Jessie Brown’s morning routine will soon come to an end.

For the past 11 years — ever since she was in the second grade — Brown has accompanied her dad, Neil Brown, to Brookswood Secondary at 7 a.m.

And every morning, Brown would go into the gym, and work on her jump shot. During her elementary school years, Brown would then catch a ride from one of the other players’ moms to Alice Brown Elementary.

The work obviously paid off as Brown graduates in June as one of the top Grade 12 girls basketball players in the entire province.

Now comes the next phase in her basketball adventure: a university career with the Trinity Western Spartans.

She warmed up for her post-secondary career by playing in the B.C. girls high school all-star game on Sunday (April 20) at the Langley Events Centre.

“She doesn’t have a choice when she goes to school, but she gets to choose whether she shoots or not,” explained Neil Brown, a teacher and basketball coach at Brookswood.

Jessie Brown estimates she hoisted up 500 shots as part of her daily routine, even if some mornings she was the only one there.

“Shooting, I just don’t get bored with it,” she said.

And practice makes perfect.

This past season, Brown was a key cog in helping the Bobcats capture the B.C. girls 3A basketball title.

The five-foot-eight shooting guard averaged 20.2 points as well as 4.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. The bulk of the points came from beyond the arc with Brown connecting on nearly 42 per cent of her threepoint shots (182-for-436).

So what is the secret?

For one thing, you can’t dwell on a missed shot.

“That is probably the most important thing, when you miss, you have to move on to the next play and just remember when you shoot, you can’t

GARY AHUJA Langley Times

“You just have to remember that is what you are good at and that is what your team needs you for.”

It was in the fifth or sixth grade when Brown realized just how special a shooter his daughter was.

5, 6 and 7 that you don’t even see here in high school,” he said.

“She learned to survive out there.”

Another indication of Jessie Brown’s shooting prowess

is backed up by the 94Fifty, a Smart sensor basketball that provides instantaneous data such as the arc of the ball as the shooter releases their shot.

The optimal arc is 46 or 47 degrees.

“When most people use it, they are quite all over the map (but) Jessie’s shot is within one degree of perfect every time,” he explained.

“Her shot is a perfect angle, quick release. It comes from literally thousands of hours of shooting the basketball.”

Being known as the top out-

side shooter in the province is a nice title to have, but Brown knows she wouldn’t have the success she has had without help from her teammates.

“It means a lot, but I owe a lot of it to Ace (Aislinn Konig) and Tayla (Jackson),” she said.

Konig, the ’Cats Grade 10 point guard this past season was named MVP at provincials, while Jackson, a Grade 11 post player, was a first team all-star.

Brown was also a first team allstar.

The team went 40-1 over the season.

With Konig running the offence, it frees Brown up to concentrate on getting open looks at the basket, while Jackson commands attention in the post, creating even more opportunity for the shooting guard.

Brown says his daughter is a testament to hard work and perseverance. He described his daughter as a decent athlete who is not the quickest on the floor, but compensates in those areas with her work ethic.

“Her strong point of the game was practising and developing skills,” the coach explained.

“I always look at it as she represents the 99 per cent of kids who don’t have the genetic make-up to play on national teams and stuff. But she shows that you don’t have to be sixfoot-four and all those things to be a good player.”

Working hard in the weight room is a big plus.

“She has realized that strength can overcome size and getting a quick shot can overcome height,” he added.

At Brookswood, Brown has been a part of a top-four team in the province all five years.

In Grade 8, the ’Cats came second and in Grade 9, the junior team won the championship with Brown earning MVP honours.

She moved up to the senior team the following year and Brookswood finished fourth and last year, the team came second.

Now comes the next challenge: helping Trinity Western develop as a program.

Crusader joining Vikings squad G A RY AHUJA Times Sports

E VAN SE AL Bla ck P ress

Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Amy Sprangers (#11) helped the Holy Cross Crusaders win gold at provincials in 2013 and bronze in 2014. She joins the Victoria Vikes next season.

she said about her four years at the Surrey school.

For Amy Sprangers, playing in a high school basketball all-star game was a fitting way to say goodbye.

After all, most of the players in the game on Sunday (April 20) at the Langley Events Centre were opponents she has matched up with the past few years or teammates of hers from her time at both Holy Cross and the Team BC provincial program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be a chance to play together before we go off our separate ways,â&#x20AC;? said the 17-year-old Sprangers, last week, prior to the game.

In the fall, Sprangers â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â who graduates from Holy Cross in June â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â is off to the University of Victoria, where she will suit up for the Vikes basketball team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really great, the whole sense of basketball community has probably been one of the biggest factors about why I enjoyed playing for Holy Cross so much,â&#x20AC;?

DANI SINCLAIR

The Langley teen â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â she turns 18 in August â&#x20AC;&#x201D; had gone to Abbotsfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s St. Jean Brebeuf before switching schools.

And coming to the Crusaders program allowed her to play with the same group she had been with since Grade 6 at the club level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has been a delight to coach,â&#x20AC;? said Holy Crossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Steve Beauchamp, who has been her coach the past seven years, either at the club or high school level.

He enthused about Sprangersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work ethic and versatility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is very much the type

of person who will accept any role to help the team,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just a really good, all-around player.â&#x20AC;?

Sprangers, a six-foot-one forward, does a little bit of everything up front, whether it be rebounding, pushing the ball in transition, hustling for loose balls, or just providing some intensity.

The Vikes are happy to add Sprangers to their mix and anticipate her making an immediate impact. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amy will add good size and experience for us up front,â&#x20AC;? said Victoria coach Dani Sinclair, in the press release announcing Sprangersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; commitment to Victoria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is fundamentally very sound, has a great understanding of the game and is highly competitive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a great fit for her and for us and she has the potential to make an impact right away.â&#x20AC;?

Facing competition which is a few years older than she is will be a challenge, but noth-

ing new for Sprangers.

Two summers ago, she helped Team BC win gold at the U17 national championships. She did so as a 15-yearold playing at a higher age group.

Sprangers is also no stranger to winning at the high school level.

In her Grade 11 year, the Crusaders captured the B.C. 2A girls high school provincial title. This past season, the program decided to take a step up and play at the 3A level â&#x20AC;&#x201D; despite falling in the lower tier capacity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Holy Cross was ranked No. 1 in the province heading into the provincial championships. But a one-point loss in the semifinals derailed their championship dreams, although the team did rebound to win the bronze medal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was pretty tough, I have to admit,â&#x20AC;? Sprangers said about the semifinal defeat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Losing by one is not what you expect, but ending your (high school) career with a win is always nice.â&#x20AC;?

It also helped that one of her teammates from that squad, Kayla Gordon, and former Brookswood teammate Luca Schmidt, are both on the TWU roster.

Jean-Paul said she has seen very few players who can shoot the ball like Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She plays for a program what has one of the fastest paces and scoring abilities in the high school system and she shoots the ball with great accuracy, finds her teammates and makes great decisions in attacking the rim,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve witnessed first-hand her ability to be a threat at the next level.â&#x20AC;?

Stealth grounded in post-season quest

DAN FER GUSON L an gley Tim es

Stafford Skyhawks’ Jake Mouquin is forced to pass the ball as he is tackled by a member of the Abbotsford Huskies during Grade 8 rugby at H.D. Stafford Middle School last week (April 17). Stafford’s Andrew Schwartz and Meeka Gay scored a try apiece and Gay added a convert in the Skyhawks’ 18-0 victory.

Stafford improved to 3-1 in league play —and 7-1 overall —heading into their regular season finale today (Thursday) in Abbotsford against the Clayburn Wolves.

There will be no return trip to the Champion’s Cup, let alone the post-season.

That was made official prior to the Vancouver Stealth’s latest game, a 1511 defeat at the hands of the visiting Philadelphia Wings on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre.

The Stealth were officially eliminated from the National Lacrosse League’s playoff race after the Colorado Mammoth defeated the Minnesota Swarm 18-12.

The win improved Colorado to 7-10 while the Stealth fell to 4-12.

Despite not having a chance to stay alive in the playoff race, Stealth veteran Cliff Smith said the team had plenty to play for.

“We knew the outcome of the game but at the end of the day, that game is irrelevant,” he said.

“We have to play with pride every game no matter what.”

As has been the case for much of the year, goal-scoring did Vancouver in.

The Stealth scored six in the opening quarter and led 8-6 at the half. But the third quarter was a different story as the Wings outscored the hosts 6-1 to take the lead for good.

Brett Bucktooth (three goals, two assists), Jamie Lincoln (three goals, one assist) and Rhys Duch (five assists)

paced the Stealth attack.

The Stealth were in three of the past four Champion’s Cup finals — including last year — winning the NLL title in 2010.

The team finishes the season with two games this weekend: Friday in Edmonton against the league-leading Rush (15-2) and then Saturday at the Langley Events Centre against the Calgary Roughnecks (11-6).

“We’re better than we showed this year,” Smith said.

“When the season ends we will have to re-evaluate.

“We need to focus playing a full 60 minutes, not 58, but 60. That’s the biggest hurdle we need to overcome next year.”

••• The team is offering an incentive to anyone who purchases or renews 2015 season tickets prior to April 26.

Anyone who does will entered into a chance to win a trip for two to a Stealth road game in a Canadian city — Calgary, Edmonton or Toronto — next season. And for those who purchase or renew prior to May 26, they will also receive priority access for tickets to the 2014 Grey Cup game at B.C. Place.

Season tickets start at $99 for nine games.

Jr. Thunder ready to go for season GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts

Having a young team with a new coaching staff is not an excuse for losing.

“It is going to be a challenge, graduating as many kids as we did,” said Shaun Springett, who is coaching the Langley Junior Thunder lacrosse team.

“The good thing about us is that we hate to lose more than we like to win.”

He was referring to the philosophy of both his coaching staff and the management team of the Thunder.

This off-season, the Buchan family (Ken and Rob) — who own the senior A Langley Thunder — assumed control of both the junior A and intermediate Thunder squads, bringing all three levels of lacrosse under the direction of one group.

The intermediate Thunder — which is for players ages 16 and 17 — open their B.C. Intermediate A Lacrosse League season tonight (Thursday) while the junior team — ages 18 to 21 — gets the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League underway on Sunday (April 27) at the Langley Events Centre when they host the Victoria Jr. Shamrocks at 5 p.m.

The intermediate team plays

that day at 2 p.m. against New Westminster.

“I don’t know if we will be battling for the top spot but we just told the boys we will be the best team we can be and see where that will take us,” Springett said.

That being said, playoffs remain a reasonable goal with six of the eight teams in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League qualifying for the post-season.

“Once you get in the playoffs — and if by then our systems are in place and the kids have learned it and understand it — you never know who you can surprise,” he said.

Springett has won both the BCJALL coach of the year and the Western Lacrosse Association senior coach of the year awards.

And he brings a brand-new offensive and defensive system to Langley.

“It might take a little while to catch on to, but I used these systems my first year in Delta and with 14 rookies we made it to the finals against Coquitlam,” Springett said.

“If the players buy into it — and so far they have — we could fill in some of those gaps we are missing with an overall better team game.”

“The basics of our defence is a

five-man unit instead of isolated man-on-man all the time. It can be pretty successful if everyone buys in.”

The offence is a pretty intricate motion offence.

“Once they get it, they will see that it is phenomenal,” Springett said, adding that the team has shown flashes in the preseason, but he does not expect it to happen overnight.

Joining Springett behind the bench will be A.J. Smith (defensive coach) and Alex Turner (offensive coach).

The team lost 16 players to graduation and also traded away a couple of their top intermediate players who would have been first-year juniors.

But this year’s squad only has six third-year players, meaning the team is young and will be together for a few more seasons. “(Success) might not take place this year, but it will pay dividends further down the road,” Springett said.

“We are going to have our challenges without a doubt, but I think the biggest thing we have on our team is the commitment to learning and good organization in place.

“We are looking towards the future with the present in mind.”

No hits, no problem as Blaze edge Cards The Langley Blaze made the most of their chances, turning four walks, four stolen bases and two errors into a pair of runs as they edged the Abbotsford Cardinals 2-1.

The Blaze victory — the U18 Premier Baseball League team’s sixth

straight since losing to Abbotsford in the season opener on April 11 — came despite the fact Langley did not register a single hit.

Mitchell Robinson and Mason Verge scored the Langley runs.

Jordan Atkinson earned the win, allow-

ing one run over six and one-third innings of work. He struck out six, walked four and allowed five hits.

The Cardinals had runners on the corners in the top of the seventh inning with one out, but Tony Pharand was able to nail down the final

two outs for the save.

Langley is scheduled to play the White Rock Tritons (2-6) tonight (Thursday) at South Surrey Athletic Park. The Blaze also have a fourgame set in Kelowna this weekend against the Okanagan Athletics (4-2).

the S3. A smart shopper might want to wait for the R over the S. Verdict This new Golf family is set to take on some very established players in the compact segment.

With a hatchback design, this car has always been a more practical design than sedans like the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. With superb road manners, advanced engines and German engineering, the starting price looks like a winner. A big reason for this is the Golf is assembled in Mexico and these cars come into Canada without duty, (Thanks NAFTA) so VW added more content and kept the price low. The good news for diesel lovers is that the TDI engine will be available right out of the gate and now represents about 50 percent of Golf sales.

This engine too has been modified to make it as fuel efficient as possible. All told, the Golf is more polished car than much of the competition and offers a trim level and price for all types of buyers, from basic to flat-out performance. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 1.8L turbo with 170hp, 2.0L turbo with 210hp, 2.0L turbo with 300hp and 2.0L diesel.

Confessions of a Curber I surprised my family with a trip to Hawaii.

They didn’t have a clue how I paid for it. But they thought I was the best dad in the world.

While we were away, I bought a car on eBay. It had over 350,000 km on it. No one will want to buy this piece of junk, I thought.

Unless. I could just lower the mileage on it a little bit. And it won’t hurt anybody, right?

One problem – I had no idea how to change an odometer*. But as it turns out, it’s much easier than I’d expected.

With an odometer tool, I changed the reading to 164,500 km. Still a lot, but less than half the real clicks.

My ad: “Minivan – old but in great condition!

Only 164,500kms - it sat in my garage for the last 5 years. Must sell. If you’re looking for an older, but reliable and safe vehicle, call my cell and we’ll negotiate.”

Looking back, I realized I’d knocked almost 200,000 km off the vehicle. But I shined it up and put some newer used tires on it so they wouldn’t give away its true condition.

Will this get me in trouble? I wondered. I wasn’t doing anything wrong, really – this just gives me a chance to make some more money on the vehicle.

I got a phone call from a young single mom who could only afford an older vehicle. We decided to meet at her son’s school.

As I was showing her the car, I noticed the carpet, the door handles and the pedals kind of gave away its true condition.

Hopefully she’s too naïve to notice, I thought.

Forty minutes later, our exchange was complete. I probably made an extra $2,000 because of the odometer! If I’d only done this to all the other cars I sold!

Suddenly, my mind began processing the implications. That minivan was pretty much at the end of its life. That young mom is expecting the vehicle to last her for a few more years. At best, I see it lasting one more.

Parts will start failing, calling for expensive repairs. I’m certain she doesn’t have the money for that.

All I’m hoping is that it doesn’t break down on the highway. Maybe there was a reason I never did it before. Maybe, just maybe, I had a conscience up until now.

*Odometer: The law allows an odometer to be replaced when broken, but the repair must be recorded and the true mileage needs to be disclosed. CarProof and ICBC vehicle history reports can reveal more about how far a vehicle has really traveled. Even AirCare, where available, can help. And Walt is wrong; altering an odometer is a crime.

“I’d knocked off 200,000 km.

Hopefully, she’s too naïve to notice”

And boy, is it a looker despite the horrible orange colour of the show car! It too features a panoramic roof stretching almost from the windshield to the rear window. A production model version is expected later in the year, which suggests the L.A. show might benefit from that timetable.

Any new Toyota Camry is an instant hit, especially in North America where it’s been the best selling car for 12 years.

Despite that, the Japanese manufacturer launched an all-new 2015 model, just three years after introducing a redesign.

It incorporates design touches now appearing in sibling models, including a deeper grille that more resembles an upmarket Lexus. Interior materials are upgraded and a large central display matches the design trend of its competitors. Two trims are added; a sporty XSE with some luxury touches and a Hybrid SE. Toyota sticks with its 2.5-litre, four-cylinder, and 3.5-litre, six-cylinder engines plus its Hybrid Synergy Drive.

Hyundai would like to put a serious dent in the Toyota Camry success story with its own mid-size sedan – the redesigned Sonata. It’s likely the introduction of a sharp looking Sonata in 2011 helped prompt Toyota into taking a serious look at upping the ante in the Camry. Other competitors have also risen to the challenge. Now the seventh-generation, newly styled, sharper looking 2015 Sonata raises the bar again with improved ride and handling plus advanced driver assistance and safety equipment.

Unlike the Camry, the Sonata stays with purely four-cylinder engines. Standard is a 2.4-litre power plant and a turbocharged 2.0L four is an option.

The one domestic manufacturer that did show up with something more exciting than the rest was Jeep, which introduced the compact Renegade. It is the iconic brand’s first foray into the small SUV segment.

Its funky looks and fuel efficiency should make it an urban dweller hit but it also boasts best-in-class offroad capability, which may just bring in buyers from the growing outdoor adventure seekers.

Two engine choices: a 2.4-litre Tigershark engine with MultiAir2 paired to the segment’s first nine-speed automatic transmission, or a 1.4-litre MultiAir Turbo engine with six-speed manual transmission.

Prices for all of the above closer to launch when pencils have been sharpened and each figure out how they can undercut competitors! keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Drives-U-Crazy Mascara madness.

Stopped at the lights the other morning, I watched with amazement as the woman in the car next to me applied her mascara. She changed her rearview mirror position to offer a better view of her lashes then continued the operation as she pulled away on the green! Now that’s distracted driving not just for the subject driver but anybody witnessing it.
