‘Fish scammer’ resurfaces, with baby in tow MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

A smooth talking door-to-door con artist dubbed the ‘fish scammer’ in 2006 in Langley has been arrested again, this time he has a woman and a baby with him.

Last week Mission Mounties arrested a couple who were using a baby to help them steal from elderly victims across the Fraser Valley, including in Langley.

The 47-year-old man and 21-yearold woman, both of Abbotsford, are suspects in a series of distraction thefts targeting elderly victims over the last year, said RCMP. The pair are well known to police.

Donald Quinnell has since been charged with theft under $5,000.

In 2006, he became well known in Langley as the fish scammer, who went door-to-door pre-selling fish, gaining entry to people’s homes and stealing wallets and purses. He was sentenced to 11 months in jail for the scams across Metro Vancouver.

At his sentencing, it was learned

that he was a realtor for seven years before his life of crime began.

In the most recent scam, at least eight Langley residents were victims of distraction theft, confirm Langley RCMP. Locally, the suspects targeted elderly women out grocery shopping.

The suspects follow the potential victim home and then approach the victim, carrying their baby and either asking for water for an overheated car or for water to heat a baby bottle, said Langley RCMP. While the victim goes to get the water, the suspects make off with whatever they can grab at the door, usually wallets or purses.

Police say the pair preyed on people’s good nature.

On Wednesday, June 11, Mission RCMP received a call from a resident who said his 72-year-old mother had been approached at their home by a man and woman with a baby.

The couple stated they needed water for their vehicle which had broken down.

Dogs’ names will live on, gathering told MO NIQUE TA MMING A Tim e s Re po rte r

DAN FER GUSON L an gley Tim es

Representatives of the families whose six dogs died of heat stroke while in the care of a dog walker set balloons free at a Sunday afternoon event at Douglas Park in Langley City. About 200 people and many dogs attended the “Day to Heel” event to remember the dogs who died and raise awareness about leaving dogs in hot vehicles. The SPCA has recommended that charges of animal cruelty be laid against dog walker Emma Paulsen. Although Paulsen claimed that the dogs had gone missing from the Brookswood dog park, leading to an intensive search, in fact they were never in Langley. She had them with her at a Richmond farm and then allegedly dumped their bodies in an Abbotsford ditch.

Around 200 people and numerous four-legged friends came out to Douglas Park on Sunday for the Day to Heel event, to honour the six dogs who died of heat exhaustion when stuck in the back of a dog walker’s truck on a hot day in May. At the ceremony, it was announced that newly-born B.C. Guide Dogs puppies will carry the names of the six dogs that died. The B.C. Guide Dog association is waiting for one more puppy, a lab/border collie cross, to be born so it can be named Salty.

Salty, a border collie that also died that day, was the dog walker’s ex-husband’s canine. It’s believed the dog was their son’s dog and was in the woman’s care at the time.

The accused’s ex-husband was at the ceremony and received a puppy ultrasound of the to-be-born guide puppy, confirmed Kevin Woronchak, owner of Until We Meet Again pet memorials and organizer of Sunday’s ceremony. Alternatives Funeral also put on the event.

Woronchak and his wife had pet blankets made with each of the dogs silk screened on

them and given to each of the owners.

“The families were so touched by the day,” said Woronchak.

The owners of Pet Finders, the pet detective couple who originally helped look for the dogs, were also at the ceremony. The pair were brought in to search when dog walker Emma Paulsen reported the dogs to be stolen from Brookswood off-leash park. The couple are credited for getting Paulsen to allegedly confess that the dogs died and she dumped them in a ditch. They also encouraged her to go to police.

Last week, B.C. SPCA confirmed that they recommended charges of six counts of animal cruelty to Crown counsel.

Bumper stickers with the words “heat exhaustion kills” and the dogs’ pictures on it were handed out as well.

“The three big reasons we did this was to honour the dogs, thank the community of Langley for their help and create awareness about keeping our pets safe,” Woronchak said. “I am also a firefighter as well and I have noticed more calls over the radio for dealing with dogs left in hot cars. We need awareness about this.”

Township administrators in ‘one per cent’ group D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

The best-paid administrators at Langley Township were at or close to the top one per cent of Canadian wage earners, according to a just-released financial information report.

The Township report, as required by law, lists all employees who made more than $75,000 a year in 2013.

There were 205. That’s up from 185 in 2012, which was up from 165 the year before.

Three of the top 10 earners employed by the Township are in the top one per cent of wage earners, defined by Statistics Canada figures as any individual making more

than $191,100 a year.

Mark Bakken, municipal administrator, was paid the most at $288,715 and claimed $12,250 in expenses.

Jason Winslade, general manager, Municipal Administration and Community Services, was number two, paid $227,361 along with $5,295 in expenses.

Ramin Seifi, general manager, Engineering and Community Development, rounded out the top three at $226,604. He claimed $12,034 in expenses.

Christine Blair, director, Corporate Administration, made $188,999 and claimed $4,584 in expenses.

Shannon Harvey-Renner, director, Human Resources, made $188,849 plus $1,473

in expenses.

David Leavers, director, Recreation, Culture and Parks, made $188,999 plus $3,130 in expenses.

Hilary Tsikayi, director, Finance, made $188,849 plus $2,437 expenses.

Fire Chief Stephen Gamble was paid $173,863 plus $2,558 expenses.

Roeland Zwaag, director, Public Works was paid $173,429 and collected $854 in expenses.

Stephen Richardson, director, Development Services, made $173,020 and claimed $2,487.

The financial report also covers council.

It shows Mayor Jack Froese made the most income and incurred the highest ex-

penses of any member of Township council, with $106,552 salary plus $9,287 in expenses.

All councillors made around $45,000 to $47,000, with Councillor Grant Ward claiming the highest amount of expenses at $8,919.

Ward told The Times the higher expenses reflected his attendance at a number of out-of-town events on behalf of the Township last year, in particular a Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference in Windsor, Ontario.

Councillor David Davis claimed the least in expenses, just $226.

Salary figures for the City of Langley were released earlier this month.

Sewer Pipe Construction in Langley Carvolth Trunk Sewer No. 2 Project Open House

June 26, 2014 6:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

Parking lot of Langley United Church 5673 200 Street, Langley

Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese has announced that he plans to run for a second term in the upcoming municipal election, to be held in November.

Metro Vancouver is undertaking an infrastructure upgrade project called Carvolth Trunk Sewer No. 2. This project involves construction of a new sewer and possible rehabilitation of an existing sewer. The construction area will cover from Fraser Highway east of 200 Street at the north end to 53rd Avenue near 198A Street at the south end.

In order to reduce disruption to the community, the City of Langley may coordinate planned upgrades to municipal utilities along 200 Street, between 57A Avenue and Michaud Crescent.

Construction is expected to begin in late summer 2014 with an anticipated completion date of summer 2015.

I look forward to working with council as we complete the last few months of this term and, if successful in the upcoming election, am excited to work with the newly-elected council.”

Froese said one of the major items council will have to deal with is neighbourhood and community plans. Council turned down a proposal to change the Brookswood/Fernridge Official Community Plan, in light of fierce opposition, and he says much more consultation with the community is required. The same applies to the Griffiths and Latimer neighourhood plans.

“We need to do a better job of consultation,” he said.

terms of municipal officials) will be transportation. The Mayors’ Council has come up with a 30-year vision and a 10-year working plan, and there will be a referendum on funding options within the next year. Froese supports the vision of the plan, noting it calls for major improvements to transit in Langley, but he wants to see what the referendum question will be.

“It’s a good proposal — but how do we pay for it?”

He has concerns about the call for a regional carbon tax, and if that is part of the referendum question, may not be able to support it. Froese points out that there are other options for funding other than gas tax, and he is supportive of road pricing, which the mayors have endorsed in the longer term.

Froese said he also wants to continue working on getting a

recreation centre in Aldergrove., Council is working towards providing a new centre on the former Aldergrove Elementary site, but needs to raise funds to pay for it, with some of that coming through land sales.

He said the school district and Township are working together well through a liaison committee, and will continue to speak about the need for additional schools in the Willoughby area.

Froese said council has shown it listens when people have concerns, citing the Glen Valley land sale which initially caused a furore, but ended with a portion of municipal land being declared a park, and another portion sold to Trinity Western University, and set aside as a conservation area.

He would like to continue to chair a council that is open to what the community has to say.

Warawa’s ‘Safe at Home’ bill now law of the land Langley MP Mark Warawa’s Private Member’s Bill C-489, called “The Safe at Home Bill” has received royal assent in Ottawa — making the bill law.

The bill, which came about after a Langley sex offender was able to serve out his sentence while living right across the street from his victim, was passed at all stages in the House of Commons and Senate, and with royal assent the bill is now law and will come into effect in three months.

“On behalf of myself, victims and their families in my riding, and the thousands of young victims of sexual assault in Canada, thank

you for acting to strengthen the tools to protect the safety and security of victims and their families so that they will be safe at home,” said Warawa.

This legislation amends the Criminal Code and the Corrections and Conditional Release Act so that child sexual offenders will be prohibited from being within two kilometres of a victim’s dwelling, or an appropriate distance specified by the court.

The bill also requires that the courts consider that criminal offenders subject to parole be under strict conditions not to contact their victims.

The Safe at Home Bill was created after the Langley girl was forced to have the man who sexually assaulted her serve out his sentence living right across from her Murrayville home.

The victim felt imprisoned, too afraid to go out and possibly see him.

“The victim and their family lived with unimaginable turmoil when the sex offender was permitted to serve the sentence right across the street,” said Warawa.

“Victims have been forgotten and their safety and wellbeing has not being considered in the sentencing of offenders. The Safe at

Sadly, the circumstances in Langley are not isolated events, said Warawa. According to a Statistics Canada’s recent report on police-reported crime, there were nearly 4,000 cases of sexual assault against children in Canada in 2012.

Furthermore, Statistics also found that 88 per cent of sexual assaults against children and youth are committed by someone known to the victim prior to the offence.

Density is too high, neighbours tell council RESIDENTS OF EARLIER PHASE OF PROJECT OBJECT TO DEVELOPER’S PROPOSAL DA N F ERGUSO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

People who bought homes in the initial phase of a major housing project in Langley Township are objecting to a proposal that would increase the density of the next phase.

Dozens of them filled seats in council chambers for a public hearing Monday night, June 16, on the application by developer Vesta Properties to build 125 townhouses near 72 Avenue and 208 Street, phase four of the Milner Estates project in Willoughby.

That is more than the current zoning allows, so the company has applied to increase the allowable density from 21 units per hectare to 23.

A report by Township staff recommends approval, saying the project is “consistent with the overall objectives of the Northeast Gordon Estates Neighbourhood Plan and Willoughby Community Plan and the applicant is providing community amenities

to support the increase in density.”

Those amenities include building 14 housing units with wider doors and hallways and other features that can be adapted for elderly and disabled people; a “natural play area” and playground for children; and more than doubling the amount of space for a “child friendly amenity area” from the minimum of 1,000 square metres to 2,300.

More than 20 people spoke against the plan at the Monday night hearing, most of them owners who bought in the previous phases of the Vesta project.

They predicted approving the higher-density plan will increase traffic through their neighbourhood, causing congestion and possible safety hazards, especially for children.

The increased density will also add more students to already overloaded local schools, they warned.

Edward Burgess called the plan “an attempt to maximize

profits at the expense of neighbourhood attractiveness.

Jay Easton said vehicles were already racing through the area and the project would only increase the potential hazard.

“Nobody wants to read in the newspaper that another kid got injured,” Easton said.

Clint Lee of the Live Langley civic party called the project another example of excessive density, saying “congestion does not add to the livability of an area.”

A delegation from Vesta said the traffic from multi-family housing would actually be lower than that from single family homes.

Vesta president Kent Sillars said his company could have asked for a bigger increase in density, but chose not to.

“We are doing less density than we could,” Sillars said, adding “we are not asking for something that is outrageous.”

Asked about the suggestion by some speakers that some

Vesta Properties is proposing a 125-unit townhouse development in Willoughby, as phase four of its Milner Heights project. Neighbours, some of whom live in earlier phases of the development, expressed concerns about the density of the project at a public hearing on Monday, June 16.

Vesta sales people led buyers to believe the site in question would

be used for single family homes, Sillars said “they may have,” add-

ing “that is worrisome to me.”

The proposed proj-

ect will come back to council for a decision at a future date.

Interchanges have many crashes MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

Two Highway 1 interchanges in Langley cracked ICBC’s top 10 worst crash sites in the Lower Mainland.

In fifth spot in the top 10 is the 264 Street on-ramp and 56 Avenue on-ramp, at 264 Street.

ICBC recorded 220 crashes there last year.

In seventh spot is the 232

Street interchange, which recorded 190 crashes in 2013.

The number one crash site in Metro Vancouver was the Willingdon exit and turning lane off of Highway 1, with 350 crashes last year. That is almost one crash for every day of the year.

According to ICBC, the number of fatal crashes at intersections increased in 2012 from

John Aldag seeks Liberal nod John Aldag of Langley has been granted “qualified candidate” status, and is thus the first and only candidate for the Liberal Party nomination in the new Cloverdale– Langley City riding, for the 2015 federal election.

The nomination meeting will take place on Thursday, July 3.

“A strong economy is the key to a Liberal government’s support of individuals, communities and our nation,” Aldag said. “I look forward to championing the Liberal promise to deliver change through hard work and hope — based in reality.

“As part of Justin Trudeau’s team, I will work to ensure ongoing, stable investments in our nation’s infrastructure, to guarantee we are poised to grow and prosper. Canadians have seen years of stagnant household income and increasing personal debt. To secure the prosperity of Canadians and Canada, a federal Liberal government will invest strategically, tax wisely, spend appropriately, and maintain a balanced budget as we have in the past.”

He noted that 10 years of work by governments led by Jean Chretien and then Paul Martin eliminated the deficit, returned to bal-

John Aldag is the sole “qualified candidate” thus far in the nomination race in the new Cloverdale-Langley City riding. He is shown with Liberal leader Justin Trudeau. anced budgets and left a surplus for successive governments.

Aldag, his wife Elaine and their three schoolaged children have lived in Langley for the past nine years. He worked at Fort Langley National Historic Site and is now on an unpaid leave to vigorously pursue the nomination.

He has been on the Tourism Langley board, Fort Langley Child Care Society board, and is current chair of Flip City Gymnastics.

He is also promoting the Liberal Party’s Smart on Crime approach.

“We need to work with, not against, our legal system. Legisla-

tion needs to protect the rights and safety of our citizens, without a doubt. But we also need to rethink some of our historic approaches to crime.

The Liberal Party’s approach to being smart on crime, and marijuana is one such example of rethinking entrenched approaches to law enforcement.”

Aldag and the Liberal Party of Canada are encouraging discussions on seniors’ issues, the military, the nation’s place on the global stage, sustainable health care, affordable post-secondary education, a cleaner environment, the energy sector including pipe-

lines, democratic reform, and other issues that are important to residents of Surrey and Langley.

He is the son of a Gull Lake, Saskatchewan pioneer cattle-raising family. He has held a series of challenging federal government positions throughout Canada that offer him insight into workings of governments and the politicians that lead them.

His wife, Dr. Elaine St. John, is a local physician who currently practices primarily at Langley Memorial Hospital.

Question langeytimes.com

The provincial government is failing in its responsibilities to the residents of Willoughby, and Langley Township council is compounding that failure by continuing to approve development applications in the area.

To top it off, it is now obvious that the Langley Board of Education decision in 2009 to turn H.D. Stafford into a middle school and concentrate Grades 9-12 high school students at Langley Secondary was a colossal mistake.

The province has the responsibility to build new schools, or add on to schools, when there are sufficient children there to use those facilities. There are clearly far more children in Willoughby now than school space available.

The new middle school which will open in September will not make any difference. Portables will be in use at the school on the day it opens.

The province is facing a financial squeeze, as it makes obvious every time Education Minister Peter Fassbender comments on the teacher negotiations, where both sides are hopelessly divided on money issues.

However, new schools are not built out of current cash flow. They are built with borrowed money. While the province obviously wants to keep its borrowings under control, borrowing money at a time when interest rates are at a record low isn’t a bad idea — particularly to build schools in areas where there are plenty of students to fill them.

New schools are needed now in Willoughby.

The Township needs to closely monitor the province’s response to the classroom shortage in Willoughby. If there is no concrete action, perhaps council should stop agreeing to any development proposal which will add more children to area schools. If the Township actually stuck firm to such a position, it is amazing how quick the response from Victoria would be.

In terms of Langley Secondary, information presented at the last board meeting makes it obvious that the school needs to be replaced. That’s what many parents said during the protracted debate over middle schools in general, and H.D. Stafford in particular. It’s too bad that knowledge didn’t sink in at a much earlier time.

Langley’s classroom issues are complex, but with some effort by trustees and managers, and some help from Victoria, they can be solved.

of the week

Is the province doing enough to fund construction of new schools in Willoughby?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

They can’t agree they

When two sides in a labour dispute cannot even agree on when and for how long they met, how can anybody expect a resolution to more weighty matters?

That teachers began their full-scale strike was no surprise, given the acrimony between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government (through the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association).

Not only were words exchanged over when and how long the two sides met on the weekend of June 14 and 15, the groups still cannot agree on what each others’ proposal will cost.

When a 7.5 per cent pay hike may actually be a seven per cent increase and when a 9.25 per cent lift might really be 14.5 per cent, it is time to call timeout.

As one wag put it — the union and government are either inhabited by liars or by people with extremely poor math skills. It has become past ridiculous.

By the time the lockout and strike arrived, the school year was all but over. What happens next depends on the resolve of teachers.

As was found out when visiting picket lines, the reduced pay is affecting some teachers. But, as many said, they feel what they are doing is worth it.

Government has the hammer in this dispute. At any moment, the B.C. Liberals can simply legislate a contract.

However, wielding the power does not necessarily come with a white hat.

It is past time this dispute was sent to binding arbitration. If the union believes in its fight; if the Christy Clark administration believes likewise, both sides need to be confident enough to have a third party lend credence to their argument.

A day in the life of a teacher on strike Editor: A day in the life of a teacher on strike: Monday, June 16.

I wake up feeling like I have not slept well. I haven’t. I had got to sleep at 1 a.m. and woke up at 7 a.m. I’ve got the morning off, and I can sleep in, but for some reason I don’t.

Having the time, I drive my older children to the SkyTrain station at Lougheed.

My son works at Metrotown, and my daughter goes to college in Vancouver.

My oldest daughter works in San Francisco as a medical biology entrepreneur. All three of my children have been through the British Columbia public education system over a period of 28 years. I have been teaching in British Columbia since 1978, with a few gaps to go back to school at UBC. I head back to my home in Coquitlam to get ready to attend the study session happening today for teachers on strike in Langley. On the way to Langley, I go to Costco to pick up a few items. In the lineup at the cashier, the clerk that is pack-

ing my items in the cart begins a discussion with the cashier: Packer: “So the teachers are out on strike now, and it looks like the students that are supposed to graduate won’t finish and are going to have trouble getting into college.”

Cashier: “Oh. The teachers are striking.

Do they get paid? I think the teachers’ union pays them. Are they out for the next six months?”

Packer: “Yeah. I think they get paid.”

I can’t let this go.

I say, with a friendly smile: “Classes are ended right now, and exams are going to be supervised for Grade 12 students by school administrators. Also, colleges and universities are not penalizing students affected by the strike. They are allowing interim marks to be submitted, until final grades are established.”

“Oh,” they say.

I add: “Also, teachers get $50 per day from the BCTF for the first three days of striking, and then they get no pay for any

Plain and simple: the Langley planners seem to have their heads up their a$&@$ — they put lights and overpasses in the most asinine places, there is construction absolutely everywhere with absolutely no regard for rush hour and daytime traffic (which there always is), there seems to be zero planning for enough parking for all these clusterfunk townhouses and condos they’re building on top of each other, our water levels are dropping rapidly — this city’s infrastructure cannot support it. I’ve just about had it with this place.

TARYN VAN VUUREN

relationships enhance teaching.

6. I cannot know all the difficulties a government official has in his or her job.

7. I have a much better understanding of a teacher’s difficulties.

8. I have a pretty good knowledge of a student’s difficulties.

All right, the vision could look like this: Each learner is supported in his or her educational journey by teachers and government officials working together.

It’s not rocket science. As adults, I guess we need to work on that last bit. Otherwise, everyone loses.

Thinking about government and teachers working together, I am reminded of relationships I have been personally challenged by. What worked best at those times was this — patience, perseverance, and not taking things personally.

VALERIE J. ROBINSON, ENGLISH TEACHER, R.E. MOUNTAIN SECONDARY

Student paying for nothing

‘Worst road’ strikes a chord Editor’s note — The Times’ Facebook page has seen a lot of reaction to a story published on Thursday, June 19 about 208 Street being named the “Worst Road in Langley.” Here is some of the reaction from our readers.

Editor: The city “planning” gets a D- for this one. Should have built the overpass on 216 and made that the alternate for 200 instead of disrupting a burgeoning residential neighbourhood for years.

AARON SIFO-DYAS

further strike days.”

I am moved forward with Costco efficiency and politeness, leaving behind a wake of stirred-up energy. I am not sure if it is surprise or confusion. Maybe it is appreciation for information not known.

At the study session in Langley, I find that the weekend negotiation that held such hope for attending members has been a no-go. The BCTF had submitted an amended deal (numbers given) to the government negotiators on Friday night, and got back the worst deal ever (numbers given) from government negotiators on Sunday night. This is weekend negotiation? I feel a backlash of adrenalin.

I decide to write a letter. I move out of blame and resentment toward a vision of education. First, I write notes: 1. Children are important.

2. They are our future.

3. It takes a culture to raise a child.

4. Supportive teacher-and-student relationships enhance student learning.

5. Supportive teacher-and-government

The planning in Willoughby and Yorkson seems to have been done by a drunken chimp. It is a nightmare.

LORRAINE BALDWIN It’s all ridiculous. Can’t be in a rush anywhere in Langley. And yes, with the middle school opening it’s gonna be more of a joke in the area. But let’s build hundreds more townhomes and houses.

Cause that will just make so much sense, not.

ALANNA JESKE It’s okay. I’m sure all the kids walking to school along there will be just fine.

Until one child is not fine that is — I’m so worried.

JOAN COWLEY HURLEY How about the 400 square foot condos on 66 Avenue by Home Depot? Didn’t realize that we live in Mexico with their population.

JEANNIE WATSON BABOTH All good points people. Remember them in November and vote. Langley needs a new mayor and councillors.

NADINE REID

Editor: In regards to the teachers strike, here is my opinion.

I am an international student in Canada.

International students like me spend $80 per day to go to school. I think that is not cheap.

Lately, I feel I have wasted my money because of the teachers strike. Why do I

have to waste my money due to their situation? The strike still happens. I don’t want to waste my money any more because of something like this. Please stop the strike.

JINSEOK KIM, GRADE 9 INTERNATIONAL STUDENT, LANGLEY FUNDAMENTAL SCHOOL

Old Yale Road should not be used as a bypass for traffic Editor: How selfish are some people around here? Does Randall Bowcott (The Times, June 19) have that little time on his hands, that he can’t just use Fraser Highway, which was repaved to relieve traffic from Old Yale Road?

My idea would be to get rid of the traffic light at Old Yale and Fraser and block access from one side, so only the locals can use the road. This was after all the original plan, but some people were hot under the collar, as they wouldn’t be allowed to use

their shortcut anymore, so the light went in.

It’s also of note that people who use Old Yale excessively wore out Old Yale. Old Yale is not meant to be a bypass and should be closed as one, but if it shaves 10 seconds off your travel time, then by all means repave it. You may as well speed through school zones as well, since you know it’s more convenient for you.

Benefits Of Bamboo Flooring!

Bamboo is an eco-friendly, highly renewable source of material which grows much faster than traditional hardwoods. Moso Bamboo is the primary species used for the manufacturing of flooring and it can grow up to 4’ per day and 75’ in 45 days. It takes about 3-5 years for Bamboo to reach maturity. Traditional hardwoods take 20-120 years to mature. Bamboo can be harvested without replanting and in a sustainably harvested forest only 20% of the forest is harvested annually allowing for 100% harvest in a 5 year period. Bamboo naturally needs no irrigation, no fertilizers and no pesticides as it has very few pests. Trillium Bamboo Flooring is certified to meet the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council for environmental and social responsibility.

Media coverage credited with helping to foil theft From Page 1

However, the elderly resident had read about the scam in the local newspaper.

The resident watched the couple closely and did not give them an opportunity to steal any items, said Mission RCMP Sgt. Shaun Wright.

The resident called Mission RCMP and said the couple left in a newer model silver Dodge Caravan with no licence plates.

“The coverage of this series of thefts by the local media and the alertness of these residents were instrumental in assisting police in apprehending these suspects,” said Wright.

About an hour later the Mounties received another call from a 73-yearold Deroche resident, saying that a couple with a baby in a grey van had come to his home and asked for water, as their vehicle was overheating. When the resident returned after retrieving the requested water, it was found that his 83-year-old wife’s

purse had been stolen.

Less than 10 minutes later, Mission police observed a vehicle matching the suspect description provided by the both victims.

Police stopped the vehicle and arrested the pair.

A one-year-old child was also in the vehicle. The Ministry of Children and Families was contacted regarding care of the child.

The driver was identified as Quinnell. His passenger was identified as Krisztina Krakoski, who is also known to police.

Police recovered several items of stolen property from within the van, including identification stolen from the victim in Deroche.

The van was traced back to a local auto dealer, said Wright.

The suspects had gone to the auto dealer and pretended to be interested in buying the vehicle, and used it to commit the thefts.

Both were charged with theft under $5,000 and released with several bail conditions.

IN-OFFICE TRIAL

For those who have been exposed to life outside school for a while, it’s fairly simple.

The job market out here in the real world is tough. And here’s how the real world evaluates a teaching job.

Start with 189 working days, each nine hours long as per the accepted definition, and the top-heavy seniority list that places the average teacher salary at around $72,000 a year. That works out to $42.32 an hour, plus a suite of benefits that most private sector employees can only dream about, starting with three months of prime-time vacation.

I am occasionally lectured by teachers that the job goes far beyond five hours in the classroom and an additional four hours a day preparing and marking. They throw out different estimates, variously defined. Alas, it’s a salaried job, and we salaried employees in the real world don’t waste a lot of time counting hours. Here’s the work, here’s the deadline, here’s the pay. Take it or leave it.

Consider another union demand that seems to be just another thinly disguised raise. The BCTF wants a large increase in preparation time for elementary school. There are no duties being added here. For this one item, government negotiators calculate the cost to taxpayers at $86.2 million every year by the fifth year of the BCTF proposal. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Aside from the convenience of being close to home, Morrison also loves her new neighbourhood.

“Langley feels like a real close-knit community and I love the family orientated friendly atmosphere here,” she said.

Offering an enticing menu of 16 rotating flavours of locally made ice cream from Birchwood Dairy, 24 flavours of soft serve ice cream that is lactose- and dairy-free, as well as fresh pies from Krause Berry Farms, freshly brewed coffee, Naked Teas galore, floats, smoothies, slush puppies and twisters, there’s something for both the young and the young at heart, Cool J’s.

Unique to Cool J’s is the selection of skateboards, scooters and gear – a sound

business decision, considering the store’s close proximity to a popular skate park that’s just a hop, skip or a skate away.

“We thought it would be a great idea since the Murrayville skate park is located directly across the street from us,” she said.

“We quickly got on board with Havoc Pro Scooters and other local skating retailers like Etnies brand of skate shoes for men, women and children.”

With the store now open for business, Morrison looks forward to meeting some new friendly faces of all ages.

“If you’re looking for a tasty treat to help you keep cool, come on down to Cool J’s – we’d be delighted to serve you and help keep you cool this summer!”

for â&#x20AC;&#x201D; its cultural diversity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; said Langley School District Trustee Megan Dykeman.

Sarwan Randhawa, librarian with Fraser Valley Regional Library and International Festival Society member for the past 10 years, told the crowd he expects the collaborative event will be the â&#x20AC;&#x153;biggest ever in the history of Langley.â&#x20AC;?

It is also the only event that is actively promoted and supported by library staff, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The world identifies Canada as as a multicultural society and a model of tolerance and acceptance for other countries to follow,â&#x20AC;? said MLA Rich Coleman, in a written statement, which was read out at the launch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s International Festival and Canada Day celebrations are an important way for our community to celebrate Canada through sports, our various cultures and our common heritage as Canadians,â&#x20AC;? read a statement from Langley MP Mark Warawa.

The first two days of the four-day event will be a sports festival, featuring competition in everything from masters lacrosse to beach volleyball, soccer, bocce and ten-

nis. As many as 600 athletes are expected to participate, said Tourism Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mun Bagri.

Once the nets and rackets and balls have been put away, the traditional celebration will begin. On June 30 and July 1, the festival will offer live entertainment, a marketplace, food vendors serving a range of traditional ethnic fare, international pavilions, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainers, a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talent show, rides, a car show, fireworks and more.

On July 1, there will be a parade of nations, with participants representing more than 70 countries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People will be selling things from all the countries in the world,â&#x20AC;? said Bob Barrett, president of the Langley International Festival Society.

Barrett acknowledged the vast scope of the task the committee has before it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a huge project,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting that organizers expect to welcome more than 50,000 visitors over the course of the celebration, which will be free and will offer visitors parking at no charge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to feed them, entertain them and keep their children happy.â&#x20AC;?

Canada Day Is Coming Together

by Kristyl Clark For Shar Dubas, founder of the Langley International Festival, the union of both events in one funfilled weekend is a dream come true. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so proud --It gives me goose bumps just thinking about it,â&#x20AC;? said Dubas, who started the Langley International Festival 14 years ago and was also a volunteer with the Langley Canada Day event back when she first moved to Langley 21 years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the two events to marry... well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly where this event should be. We are a multicultural Canada. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing to see this community pull together.â&#x20AC;?

Without all generous sponsors, an event of this magnitude wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be possible, says Dubas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We simply could not continue this community/family event with-

out their help. It takes people and business working together to build a

â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a big wow factor celebrating Canada and multiculturalism --the first of its kind in the Fraser Valley.

community.â&#x20AC;?

Additionally, Shar is thankful for all the hours the dedicated volunteers have given over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without them we could not manage this event -- for anyone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to get involved, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still looking for volunteers.â&#x20AC;?

At any large-scale event, parking

is always a big concern. However, to minimize the congestion of traffic in the area, Dubas and her team of volunteers are encouraging attendees to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;go green.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to encourage people to walk, bike or get dropped off -thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even a bus stop in front of the Langley Events Centre,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she said, also noting a free shuttle service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be shuttle services at various pickup points throughout the community. Check out our website www.langleycanadaday.ca to find a location nearest you.â&#x20AC;?

Bike racks are also located at RE Mountain School and Langley Events Centre.

In the past, entrance was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bydonation.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This year, the festivities are free, said Dubas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t asking for donations,

there is absolutely zero cost to enter because with the Celebrate Canada grant we received from the Federal government - we want everyone to have access to this Canada day!â&#x20AC;?

With the entertainment, food, costumes and music -- Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canada Day celebrations will satisfy all the senses.

Dubas encourages everyone to come and be part of the special event -- one that offers fun for the whole family with prizes and surprises. Closing the event will be the fireworks at 10pm on July 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a big wow factor celebrating Canada and multiculturalism --the first of its kind in the Fraser Valley. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss this!â&#x20AC;?

SAMBA FUSION Samba Fusion International Dance Group was formed

by Andrea Monteiro and Naija K in 2009 because of their common dance background in “Samba”. As the ideas flowed in the initial stages of Samba Fusion’s development, more dancers joined the group and each dancer brought their own experience in different styles of dance.

SANGRE MORENA Romance, passion and lively rhythms.

Sangre Morena performs music from Mexico, Latin America and Spain. We bring the most beloved Spanish-language songs to life with beautiful, passionate singing and the fiery sounds of the Flamenco Guitar.

The birthplace of British Columbia is the place to be for one of the most unique annual Canada Day events being held in Metro Vancouver this year. Park your car, grab your passport and go! All day on July 1st, the Village of Fort Langley will be the place where arts, culture and heritage will blend absolutely in celebration of being Canadian.

In Fort Langley you will be plunged into a festival that is the brainchild of ten community cultural organization that have combined resources to create a cultural experience that entertains people of all ages, with music, song, words, dance, displays, tastes, games and more. You will see and hear First Nations cultural presenters, local authors, storytellers, Shakespearean actors, hot rod enthusiasts, children’s performers, musical acts, historical re-enactors, visual artists, multicultural dancers -- all on a single day.

With three museums, one National Historic Site, one art gallery, three performing arts groups, an author’s collective, a national book design prize exhibit, two heritage groups, and a First Nations cultural cafe participating, the combination provides “a something for everyone” opportunity. Families looking to party on Canada’s 147th birthday won’t need to travel far in search of free, handson entertainment.

Township of Langley’s Cultural

Services manager Peter Tulumello remarked that “Canada Day in Fort Langley has always been a great event, but with so many organizations joining the celebration this year it really will be a special and uniquely Canadian birthday party.”

Traditionally the organization of Canada Day in Fort Langley has been done by a longstanding alliance of the Fort Langley National Historic Site, the BC Farm Museum and the Langley Centennial Museum. In the past few years this family event has attracted 6,000 to 8,000 people to a street party on Mavis Avenue and King Street. But I wouldn’t be surprised if we break attendance records for 2014,” says Grace Muller, the Farm Museum’s volunteer Canada Day event co-ordinator. “We are anticipating larger Canada Day attendance at the Museum as our new partners will attract new audiences to Fort Langley benefitting all.”

This year’s event extends throughout the village and venues will be linked by passport. Participants who get their passport fully stamped can put their name into a prize draw. People can move from the “museum district” to the Community Hall -- where the Fort Langley Festival of the Book and Bard in the Valley will be running programs -all the way to the river where lelem arts

Fort Langley - the birthplace of bc arts & cultural café will be hosting cultural presenters and a “Taste of Canada” celebration. In between, passport venues include the Fort Langley CN Railway Station Museum and the Fort Langley Artists Group in the CN Station.

Muller comments that “the addition of all these groups at different venues expands the footprint of our celebration in the village.” Because of that the Farm Museum has added a horse and wagon ride to and from a few of the event locations. Jane Watt, a local author and organizer of the Fort Langley Festival of the Book said “We are thrilled that the Farm Museum has connected our venue at the Fort Langley Community Hall to the two Museums on King Street and that the celebration extends all the way to lelem in Bedford Landing.” Diane Gendron organizer of the Bard in the Valley’s presentation of Julius Caesar stated “Although the Community Hall isn’t the Roman Forum, we are really excited with the atmosphere being created by each and every partner making arts and heritage primary to the celebration.”

Tulumello claims, “The Township of Langley is becoming one of Metro Vancouver’s most attractive and desirable communities -- and community partnerships like the Canada Day Celebrations and the many other festivals and events held throughout the year all con-

multicultural performers.

The Centennial Museum is featuring Hanyang, a traditional Chinese Dance troupe from Surrey BC to their stages on King Street. In past years, both organizations have played host to a wide range of multicultural talents including Korean drummers, Bhangra dancers, Scottish pipers and more.

Children’s entertainment is a mainstay as well, with the Farm Museum bringing Vancouverite – Balloon Guy extraordinaire Matthew Johnston to town to twist and turn the imaginations of kids of all ages. The Festival of the Book will be featuring art activities and readings by children’s authors.

The Centennial Museum will have Erin Parr on stage engaging children in sing alongs. Parr is an Venue map by Tracy Letourneau experienced musician and Music tribute to that cultural / creative community appeal.

Dobray off to New West The Langley Thunder have traded Brett Dobray to the New Westminster Junior Salmonbellies.

The move, which was done on Saturday, completes a trade from last season, as Langley owed New West future considerations as part of an earlier transaction.

Dobray, a product of the Langley Minor Lacrosse Association, played his entire junior A career with the Thunder and finished with 109 goals and 203 points in 56 games.

••• The Langley Junior Thunder were also in action over the weekend, splitting a pair of matches.

The junior A lacrosse team beat the Port Coquitlam Saints 11-6 on Friday before losing 16-12 to the Victoria Junior Shamrocks on Saturday.

The results leave Langley with

a 5-12-1 recored and tied for fifth place in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League.

Both games were played on the road, Friday at Poco Arena and the next day at the Q Centre.

In the first, Bryce Brochu led the way with two goals and six points while James Rahe had a hat trick and one assist.

Riley Glemnitz and Brendan Mykle-Winkler had a goal and two assists each.

The second game saw a big effort from Rahe go for naught as the Langley captain had eight goals and 11 points.

He sits second in league scoring with 37 goals and 74 points in 16 games.

Duston Doudlet (two goals, one assist) and Bryce Brochu (one goal, two assists) and Glemnitz (one goal, one assist) also found the scoresheet.

Facing nine different pitchers — who each worked an inning — kept the Langley Senior Blaze out of their rhythm and the result was a 5-0 loss to the Victoria Harbourcats on Saturday in the provincial capital.

But the Blaze had their revenge, doubling the ’Cats 10-5 in the rematch on Sunday in Duncan.

The Langley bats came alive on Sunday with both Scott Webster and Joe Germaine hitting solo home runs in the 10-5 victory.

Jacob Yousif also came up with a pair of RBIs. The Blaze are in Grand Forks this weekend for the Grand Forks Invitational. The tournament runs June 26 to June 30.

WIL SON WONG U BC Ath letics

Langley’s Winnie Hyun capped off a stellar first season with the UBC women’s golf team, helping the Thunderbirds win the Canadian university title.

Hyun helps T-Birds soar to university title GARY AH U JA Ti me s Spo r t s

Heading into her freshman season, Winnie Hyun wasn’t sure what to expect as she teed off for the UBC women’s golf team.

Needless to say, there was not much of a learning curve for the Langley golfer, after she helped UBC win the Canadian University title earlier this month.

Hyun, a 19-year-old who graduated from Walnut Grove Secondary in 2013, helped the Thunderbirds with a 6-over-par 312 at Southwood Golf and Country Club in Winnipeg.

The four-day championship was held June 3 to June 6 and Hyun’s score was second on the T-Birds and fourth overall.

No golfer finished below par.

As a team, UBC was 17-over-par, finishing 14 shots ahead of the second-place Universite de Montreal Carabins.

“This season has been great,”

Hyun said. “I didn’t expect it go so well because everything was so new.

“But it turned out better than I expected.”

UBC finished seventh at the NAIA women’s championships, which were held May 20 to May 23 at Wilderness Ridge in Lincoln, Neb. Hyun was the team’s top golfer, shooting +17 over the four rounds to finish tied for 13th overall.

Hyun was also named an NAIA first team all-American, the lone UBC golfer to pick up that honour.

Hyun said the final two championships — the NAIA and the Canadian university championships— were much easier to focus on since classes were done and she could concentrate solely on golf.

It also gave her time to work with her father, Richard, a golf pro at the Valley Golf Centre in Abbotsford.

“Working with him and on my swing, really helped me,” she said.

The Langley Junior Blaze continue to cruise, doubling up the Fraser Valley Junior Chiefs 8-4.

The win, which came on Saturday at McLeod Athletic Park,improved Langley to 23-2 in the B.C. Junior U16 Premier Baseball League.

It was Langley’s sixthstraight victory.

Aiden Mordecai paced the offence with three RBIs, while Cole Cantelon, Matthew Poirier and Quintin Nakamura drove in one apiece.

Jake Polancic picked up the win, allowing three runs over 5.2 innings, striking out six along the way.

Langley visits the White Rock Junior Tritons tomorrow (Wednesday) at South Surrey Athletic Park.

••• The Langley U18 Blaze won their first game of the weekend, but dropped the next three in Seattle Premier Baseball League action.

The Blaze beat Bulldog Baseball 3-1 before failing to hold an early lead in game two and losing 5-4. Both games were played at McLeod Athletic Park.

And on Sunday, the team travelled to Rainer High School and lost 9-0 and 6-3 to Baden Baseball. Langley is 3-7 in the SPL. The Blaze will look to improve on their B.C. Premier Baseball League-leading 27-7 record as they visit the Whalley Chiefs (15-21) on Thursday at Whalley Park.

Sharks at prospects camp

GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports

Jakob Reichert has earned an invitation to the San Jose Sharks prospects next month.

The six-foot-five, 220-pound forward was a member of the Langley Rivermen junior A hockey club the past two seasons. He joins Bowling Green State University on scholarship in the fall.

The Langley Minor Hockey Association product scored 20 goals and 24 assists in 57 games for his hometown hockey club in 2013/14.

He really blossomed in the second of the season, scoring 10 goals and 25 points in his final 25 games and then five goals and 14 points in a dozen playoff games.

“I’m really excited and looking forward to heading to the Sharks camp,” Reichert said. “(And) I can’t thank the coaching staff here enough.

“Bobby (Henderson) really helped me the last two years I was here and especially my teammates, playing with some good guys this year like (Matt) Ustaski and (Mitch) McLain really helped.”

Henderson, who is Langley’s coach and general manager, acquired Reichert from Merritt prior to the 2012/13 season.

And Henderson has previously stated that Reichert has the tools— namely size, speed and skill — and to play the pro game.

“He has that, plus toughness, so the sky is the limit for Jake,” Henderson told The Times back in January.

Reichert is one of two members of the Rivermen from last season that earned invites to

Langley’s Jakob Reichert had an outstanding final season of junior hockey with the Langley Rivermen. In addition to earning a scholarship to Bowling Green University, Reichert has earned an invitation to the San Jose Sharks prospects camp next month. an NHL prospects camp, as Matt Ustaski will attend the Washington Capitals camp.

Ustaski is off to the University of Wisconsin in the fall.

Ustaski is a six-foot-six, 225-pound forward.

Henderson said the coaching staff was “extremely excited” both players earned camp invites.

“Both made lofty goals at the end of the 2012/13 year and trained religiously through

the off-season, taking major strides this past year,” he said.

“Both Jake and Matt became go-to-guys for us and contributed in big ways to our success.”

Ustaski led the team in goals with 29 in 54 games and was second in points with 49.

Reichert, who turns 21 in September, was done his junior eligibility, while Ustaski, 20, could have returned for one more season.

Stingy D, great goaltending leads to split A pair of stellar defensive efforts yielded just one victory for the Langley Thunder in senior A Western Lacrosse Action.

The Thunder continued their trend of the past two weeks, losing at home and winning on the road.

In the first game, Langley blew a 4-0 second-period lead at the Langley Events Centre, surrendering five unanswered power-play goals to lose 5-4 to the Burnaby Lakers.

The team got back into the win column on Saturday, defeating the Coquitlam Adanacs 5-3 at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex.

Langley sits at 5-5 in the WLA. Tom Johnson (one goal, two assists), Athan Iannucci (one goal, one assist) and Tyler Melnyk (one goal, one assist) and Alex Turner (two assists) had multi-point games in the win while Quinn Smith and Brett Baron had a goal apiece.

Brodie MacDonald stopped 31 of 34 shots for the win. He also made 43 saves in the loss to the Lakers as Langley was out-shot 48-28.

Melnyk (two goals), Smith (one goal, one assist) and Turner (one goal) had the Thunder scores.

The Thunder host the New Westminster Salmonbellies (2-6) at the Langley Events Centre tomorrow (Wednesday).

Members of the Flip City Cheer demonstration team performed at the Walnut Grove’s open house on May 31.

All Blacks dethrone Kings

Down 1-0 at halftime of the Valley Ball Hockey Association major (U16) division finals, the All Blacks coaching staff had a good feeling.

“We were a great second half team all year long and we kind of thought the boys

would come up with a great second half, which they did,” said coach Chad Boelema.

The All Blacks would score three unanswered goals to defeat the Kings 3-1 in the final, which was played on June 14 at George Preston Recre-

ation Centre.

“We were outplayed by a very determined Kings team in the first half, but our goalie made some great saves to keep us in it.”

The game featured fast-paced and intense action with great goaltending on

both ends of the floor.

The All Blacks also advance to the provincial ball hockey championships, which will be contested June 27 to June 29 and hosted by the Ridge Meadows Minor Ball Hockey Association.

The hazards of

Helicopter Parenting D A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s

Some children entering Kindergarten aren’t meeting benchmarks in social and behavioural development. Research is finding parents who hover over their children, jumping in to solve conflicts for their kids, instead of letting them explore, fall and fail is hurting their brain development. The amount of time spent indoors in front of a screen also isn’t helping outcomes.

CHILDREN NEED TO EXPERIENCE UNSUPERVISED PLAY FOR BEST BRAIN DEVELOPMENT This is a second in a series looking at the challenges of parenting in a ever-changing, busy world MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

This graphic, originally from an Australian child development research group, shows the importance of outdoor play to the well being of children.

Remember being a kid and making forts with friends and knowing to go home when the street lights came on?

You may have fond memories of exploring the outdoors, but children of today don’t.

Gone are the days of unsupervised outdoor play and that may actually behindering brain development.

Helicopter and bubblewrap parenting could be hurting children’s best outcomes, according to research into early learning.

A recently-released study measuring children’s vulnerability rates show that 33 per cent of kids in Langley aren’t meeting benchmark social and behavioural developments when they start Kindergarten.

Members of Langley’s Early Childhood Development Committee (ECD) are saying some of those concerning results can be attributed to bubble wrapped children — defined

as children whose parents protect them from conflict and disappointment, never letting them solve problems themselves.

“What Kindergarten teachers are seeing is children who fall apart, who can’t handle frustration or disappointment,” said Karen Abrahamson, who sits on Langley’s ECD Committee as well as University of B.C. Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP), which has policy papers and research available online about changes in society and their effects on children outcomes.

Helicopter parenting also leads to problems with children lacking self-confidence or independence because their parents hover over their every move, saving them from any possible falls and jumping in before letting them problem solve on their own.

Schools are now dealing with an increased number of complex diagnoses, said Abrahamson. Anxiety levels among young children is concerning, said the ECD committee that includes members from LangContinued Page 42

Bard in the Valley season kicks off on Canada Day

JULIUS CAESAR WILL PLAY IN THREE LOCATIONS OVER THE CO URSE OF THE SUMMER Come to bury Caesar or come to praise him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just make sure to come to a performance of Bard in the Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest summer production, Julius Caesar.

This summer, Bard in the Valley is celebrating its fifth season of outdoor theatre in Langley by stepping away from the Bardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comedic offerings and staging one of his great tragedies.

The production opens on Canada Day in Fort Langley and closes on Aug. 3 on the Spirit Square Stage in Douglas Park.

In Between, it will make a stop at Township 7 winery.

Caesar returns to Rome after victory over Pompey the Great, but not all Rome is willing to heap honours on the Great General. Instead, Caesar is assassinated by a group of conspirators and the republic is plunged into civil war. Produced by Diane Gendron and directed by Darcy J. Knopp, the same duo who staged last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful production of The Comedy of Errors, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort takes a gritty look at honour, patriotism, friendship and an empire on the road to ruin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recognize there is an element of risk as we descend to a darker side, but we expect our audiences were ready for a change as well.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The play, written by William Shakespeare more than 400 years ago is about a political event that took place 1,600 years before that, and yet everything about it is still relevant around the world today,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A regime is toppled, a realm thrown into chaos and life for the people does not improve.

Sounds all too familiar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our production is edgy, action-packed and filled with intrigue and betrayal.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The once proud Coliseum is now a collection of broken arches and missing stones,â&#x20AC;? added Knopp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waves of fear and anger from Romeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desperate citizens has cost its empire dearly and darker days are on the horizon.â&#x20AC;?

In this play, audiences will recognize some of the most famous lines in the English language, from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Et, tu, Brute?â&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;it was Greek to meâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your earsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all told in the fashion of a modern graphic novel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;2014 is Bard in the Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth anniversary, a milestone, so when (Knopp) gave us the choice of producing another comedy or Julius Caesar, the Bard in the Valley board saw this as an opportunity to try something different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew with Knopp directing, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be seeing the same play many people remember studying laboriously in high school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His interpretation is exciting, edgy and filled with spectacle,â&#x20AC;?

Su bmitte d pho to

Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kirstin Stewart plays Calpurnia, while Joseph Balint of Vancouver performs the role of the title character in Bard in the Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer production of Julius Caesar. The production opens Canada Day in front of the historic community hall in Fort Langley. There will also be performances at Township 7 Winery and Douglas Park.

(Knoppâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) interpretation is exciting, edgy and filled with spectacle.

DIANE GENDRON

said Gendron, who is also BIV president.

Audiences are invited to come early and bring a blanket, lawn chairs and a picnic. Theatre snacks will be sold onsite. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bard in the Valley is able to continue to bring this exciting summer theatre to Langley because of the wonderful support from the community and the 60 talented and dedicated cast, crew and production team who volunteer their time and energy for the season, because we want to give something worthwhile back to the community,â&#x20AC;? Â said Gendron. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are delighted to be involved with Fort Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canada Day Celebrations. Julius Caesar is just one of the many activities people can enjoy that day, including the Festival of the Book, fun at the Centennial Museum and Farm Museum

and, of course, the Fort National Historic Site.â&#x20AC;?

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production is dedicated to Bard in the Valley founder, Allan Thain, who passed away last December.

Performance dates: â&#x20AC;˘ Tuesday, July 1, at 3 p.m. on the lawn in front of Fort Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic community hall during Canada Day Celebrations. Admission is free. â&#x20AC;˘ July 11, 12, 18, 19 & 20 at the Township 7 Winery in Langley.

Helicopter parenting fueled by fear, reinforced by media From Page 39

ley Child Development Centre and Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services.

The biggest indication of helicopter parenting is children are no longer able to go outside by themselves and explore, said Abrahamson.

The ECD are pushing for awareness of “Bring back play.”

“Playing outside, having contact with nature is a wonderful thing,” she said.

“Studies are finding that children who never experience risk play (unsupervised outdoor play) is actually resulting in dysfunction in brain development.”

Helicopter parenting is fear-based par-

enting.

Media plays a role, making parents feel that the world is a much more dangerous place than it was 20 years ago, with more predators out there.

In fact, stranger danger has remained static.

“Yet, we have many parents who won’t even let their kids play in the front yard.”

“Remember when we were kids we used to go explore the forest, make forts, go play at the river, climb a tree?” said Abrahmson.

The benefits of unsupervised play are crucial for brain development, says recently released research.

A chart made up by Australian early learning researchers shows unsupervised

play leads to resiliency, confidence, independence, social skills and ability to problem solve. Without it, says this research, it can lead to anxiety, depression, obesity and concentration problems.

Even the type of equipment in playgrounds has been modified to meet the new world’s safety expectations.

“When do you ever see a merry-go-round anymore?” asks Abrahmson.

Couple all of this with the amount of time children are spending in front of a screen, inside the house, not moving, and children’s futures are in trouble, said the committee.

“Nobody is blaming families. It’s a case of society moving in this direction,” she said.

With single-family homes unaffordable, new families are living in townhouses, suites and rowhomes, with postage stampsize yards. So if children want to play outside, their parents have to take them to the park.

With a busy schedule and both parents working, time to do this is limited, she points out.

“We can’t stress it enough — let’s bring back play,” said the Langley committee.

The result is too many kids are arriving to Kindergarten emotionally not ready, says findings from the Early Development Indicators (EDI) index.

Do you have CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE LUNG DISEASE?

First birthday bash at Fort 48 per cent of Aldergrove Langley Studio June 29 children are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;vulnerableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; From Page 42

The Fort Langley Studio is celebrating its first anniversary in style this weekend.

On Sunday, June 29, gallery owners Curtis Zondag and Laura Murphy will host a party from noon to 4 p.m. at the studio, located at the corner of Glover Road and 96 Avenue.

There will be free family entertainment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including live music by Jet Tangerine, Jonathan Muller and Abramâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Epilogue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; throughout the day. The folks from Aldor Acres will drop by to sell homemade sausage dogs and popcorn, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bring along a few baby animals from the farm to say hello.

Visitors can watch artists face off in timed â&#x20AC;&#x153;battlesâ&#x20AC;? where they will be given a word to work with and 20 minutes to complete a piece of art.

The 2013 EDI data was released recently, finding that the amount of vulnerable children in some parts of Langley (48 per cent in Aldergrove) was considerably higher than the B.C. average.

The data was provided to the Langley school board.

The information about Langley children is gathered

by Kindergarten teachers who

volunteer to answer around 100 questions about their studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cognitive, social, physical well being and behaviour.

Conducted every few years in school districts across Canada, the results give some idea of how children are doing and where their vulnerabilities are.

The results help to decide where to increase support and services.

We need your help for a study All subjects will receive several free manual therapy sessions.

There is no financial cost to participate.

Study duration is 20 weeks.

If you are interested in participating in the study, contact the principal investigator.

Doug will be lovingly remembered by Marcy, his wife of 44 years; his mother Joan; twin sister Gail (Bob); sister Lesley (Raymond); sister Janice (Nick), nieces, nephews, God-children, all of Marcy’s family, and friends.

Doug was born in Kamloops in 1946, to Joan and the late Terrence Sinclair Court. The family moved to Kemano in 1952, to Vancouver in 1954, and to Surrey in 1959. When Doug and Marcy married they moved to Langley.
