World Food Day event Canada’s largest EVENT PRESENTED BY FOOD FOR FAMINE SOCIETY DREW SEVERAL HUNDRED PARTICIPANTS D A N FE RG U SO N Ti mes Reporter

DAN FERGUSON L angley Tim es

Members of the African Children’s Choir perform for World Food Day at the Langley Events Centre on Thursday, Oct. 16.

Organizers estimate several hundred people attended the largest World Food Day event in Canada at the Langley Events Centre on Thursday, Oct 16.

The 2014 event aimed to “encourage thoughtful and meaningful engagement about world hunger and poverty” with presentations by activists like Dave Toycen, President and CEO of World Vision Canada and performances by the African Children’s Choir, founded

by Langley resident Ray Barnett.

The free public event was hosted by Food For Famine Society, a Langley-based humanitarian organization that distributes a fortified peanut paste known as Readyto-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) to poor countries, a product that contains necessary vitamins and nutrients to help malnourished children.

“World Food Day is al-

ways about engaging, empowering and inspiring everyone in the world to make a difference,” said society founder Maria Martini.

World Food Day, which is celebrated every Oct. 16, is the creation of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

The 2014 World Food Day theme was family farming, “Feeding the world, caring for the Earth.”

The FAO said it wants to raise the profile of family farming and small farms to focus world attention “on the significant role of family farming in eradicating hunger and poverty, providing food security and nutrition, improving livelihoods, managing natural resources, protecting the environment, and achieving sustainable development, in particular in rural areas.”

The UN General Assembly has designated 2014 “International Year of Family Farming.”

‘Falconridge rapist’ deemed long-term offender ANDREW AURIE JEFFERSON GIVEN FOUR YEARS FOR VIOLENT LANGLEY CARJACKING S H EILA RE YNOLDS Bl ack Press

A convicted rapist living in Surrey has been designated a long-term

offender by a B.C. Provincial Court judge, meaning he will be strictly monitored for a decade following his jail term.

Andrew Aurie Jefferson, 29, was in court Friday morning to face sentencing for a June 2013 violent carjacking in Langley.

But due to his criminal history, Crown prosecutors also wanted Jefferson deemed a long-term offender — status sought when a felon is likely to re-offend and puts the com-

munity at risk.

Judge Michael Hicks sentenced Jefferson to four years in jail for the Langley carjacking, for which Jefferson pled guilty to robbery in January.

In that incident, a woman was in a parking lot heading for her car when Jefferson, high on cocaine, approached her from behind and said, “You are being stabbed. I am taking your car.”

He pointed a small, dull-bladed knife into her stomach, the court

Hicks said the victim suffers long-term impacts from the attack, including anxiety, loss of sleep, heightened fear and suspiciousness of others.

Four arrested in Langley City home invasion MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

La ngley RCMP h an dout

Langley RCMP credit overwhelming public response with helping them find and arrest four peope suspected in a September home invasion of a Langley City apartment.

Police have arrested and charged three men and a woman who are believed to be responsible for a violent home invasion that took place on Sept. 8 in a man’s Langley City apartment.

At that time, clear video surveillance of the suspects entering the victim’s apartment building were distributed to the media to solicit the public’s assistance with their identification.

“The response from the public in this case was outstanding. With the collective efforts of the RCMP and the public, we can and will have positive advancements in these types of investigations,” said Insp.

Murray Power, officer in charge of the Langley RCMP. “To have charges approved

ER waits beat the average The wait to see an ER doctor at Langley Memorial Hospital (LMH) is better than the B.C. average, according to new statistics from the Fraser Health Authority (FHA).

The figures, covering a 10-month period from November of 2013 to August of 2014, were released by the FHA in response to a Times request.

Over that period, the average wait time before seeing a doctor in the LMH ER was 2.4 hours, which is below the B.C. average wait time of 2.5 hours and the Canadian average wait of 3.2 hours.

Only once, in January, did the LMH ER exceed the B.C. average, and not by much, posting a 2.7 hour average wait to see an ER doctor.

The LMH numbers are better than the busy Surrey Memorial Hospital ER, which reports an average wait of 3.4 hours, but

not as good as Vancouver General Hospital, which reports an average wait to see an ER doctor of 2.2 hours.

Seriously ill and injured people can expect to wait less than the reported average wait times to see an ER doctor, while less-urgent cases can expect longer-than-average waits.

The Times made a request for LMH ER wait times because they were not included in a compare-the-hospitals website set up in September by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), a non-profit agency created by the federal, provincial and territorial governments.

Based on hospital-provided statistics, the figures showed LMH matched or exceeded Canadian averages in other categories, such as wait times for hip surgery, prevention of infection, and number of readmissions, where patients

return to hospital following a procedure.

They also show the hospital runs at maximum capacity, with a 99.4 per cent occupancy rate.

More than half the patients at LMH, 56.9 per cent, arrive through the ER. The average length of a hospital stay at LMH is 6.9 days.

The CIHI page can be viewed by going to yourhealthsystem.cihi.ca and clicking on the “Your Health System” link.

Month-by-month average wait times to see doctor at LMH ER: Nov. 2013 2.5 hours Dec. 2013 2.5 hours Jan. 2014 2.7 hours Feb. 2014 2.4 hours Mar. 2014 2.5 hours Apr. 2014 2.5 hours May. 2014 2.4 hours Jun. 2014 2.3 hours Jul. 2014 2.5 hours Aug. 2014 2.1 hours

his apartment. A number of items were taken, including a Blackberry Playbook, two laptops, the victim’s wallet, several wristwatches and two Masonic rings.

Police believe the suspects were driving a GMC Jimmy or Chevy Blazer type vehicle.

Charged with break and enter and assault with a weapon are Georgia Krenus, 18, of Langley, Andreas Bronk, 24, of Chilliwack, Dustyn Wald, a 22-yearold from Surrey and Mauricio Avila, 22, of Langley.

Krenus has been released on bail while Bronk and Wald remain in custody.

Avila is also charged with taking a vehicle without an owner’s consent. He has been held in custody and will next appear in court on Oct. 30.

The other three will appear in court on Wednesday.

The Times posted the story on its Facebook page and there was tremendous interest in it.

It was shared 202 times, with 23,824 people viewing it.

It was around 3:15 a.m., on Sept. 8, when the victim responded to a knock at his door and opened it to a young woman. When the door opened, three men forced themselves into the apartment.

The victim was ordered to be quiet and instructed to sit in a chair, said police. One of the suspects struck the victim several times, leaving a mark and swelling on his face.

Pregnant women often need additional iron, particularly if the mother-to-be is anemic, but taking iron supplements can be nauseating – especially if morning sickness is an issue.

Now, a study of twice-weekly iron supplements has found that this performs just as well as daily doses but with much better tolerability. Added bonus? There was a suggestion that the babies of these bi-weekly treatments had better cognitive development too!

Researchers at UC-San Francisco have taken a look at the relationship between epidural use during labour and the length of labour and have concluded epidurals increase labour time more substantially than previously thought. Current standards allow for an extra hour but their data suggests it’s likely more than two hours.

At issue is whether interventions to advance labour and delivery might be attempted too early, potentially introducing more risks.

The standard for delivering babies by caesarian is to wait until 39 weeks gestational age to maximize infant development, but a study from Houston is proposing earlier caesarian deliveries in women who

have undergone previous caesarians to reduce complications for both mother and baby. hey’ve determined that 38 weeks is better if there have been two previous BOB SANGHA c-sections and 37 weeks if Pharmacist, BSc there were 3 or more.

Pregnancy is often seen as a time when “eating for two” becomes a free ticket for excessive weight gain.

And, the busy job of being a new mom can limit efforts to lose the weight. But, now there’s new incentive to get cracking... not losing that pregnancy weight within a year of birth can lead to cardiovascular and metabolic (think diabetes) changes and their attendant adverse effects on health. Make sure mom is on the priority list too!

the answer, growing a strong economy is.

Later in the debate, he noted that a performing arts centre in the downtown would help provide a bustling area day and night.

“A way to clean up crime is putting in legitimate, vibrant buildings,” said Pachal.

Business in the downtown core was also a question asked, particularly regarding the 12 pharmacies that have opened in the city’s core recently which are dispensing methadone.

“I don’t think we have that many heroin users in the town that we need 12 methadone clinics in four-square miles,” said Rudy Storteboom, who is seeking a return to city council.

“Changes to provincial legislation made methadone a profitable venture and there are some pharmacies bringing in heroin addicts from other communities. Some of these heroin addicts end up staying here.”

He sat on council when the City limited cheque cashing businesses and he would like to see the same done for pharmacies. He would also like to see provincial legislation changed so methadone isn’t so profitable to dispense.

“There are businesses opening up in the core that people aren’t happy about. Nobody is reviewing business licenses in the City right now,” she said.

Acting mayor Ted Schaffer said the City “isn’t crime ridden.

My glass is half full.”

Mayoral candidate Ray Lewis ran for council because crime has gotten so bad. Mayoral candidate Randy Caine hoped to bring the community closer and bring back town hall meetings.

Council candidate Sharon Newberry lives in the core and said she doesn’t feel safe walking in Douglas Park at night.

She wants to see a Block Watch program, more visible police presence and to work with the BIA on a revitalization incentive program.

Councillor Jack Arnold was also asked why he should be elected again after 25 years on council.

“I’m proud of our work on the Timms Centre. My priority for the future is to keep on keeping on,” replied Arnold.

When asked if they would support a study looking into amalgamation, the majority of candidates said no.

Candidate Carla Robin said she doesn’t support amalgamation but would support a study.

Paul Albrecht was also in attendance at the meeting.

So much more than a homeless shelter

Insight. Guidance. Growth. www.facetadvisors.com

It was a smaller crowd at the Langley City all-candidates meeting on Thursday night, but plenty of topics were covered including crime, transportation, amalgamation and building a performing arts centre.

All three mayoral candidates attended, along with 11 councillor hopefuls at the Cascades Casino and Conference Centre debate organized by the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce.

Ron Abgrall was absent.

“We have to stop pushing our heads in the sand. I’m sick and tired of hearing there isn’t a crime problem in the City,” said council hopeful Valerie van den Broek. “I am an auxiliary constable and worked as the co-ordinator for the City Community Police office for eight years. We have a problem and we need to deal with it.”

Council hopefuls Christine MacIntosh and Miriam Marshall pointed out that the City has social issues, people with mental health problems and a lack of addiction services.

“I don’t feel there is a champion for the disadvantaged on this council. I want to be that person in the City,” said Marshall.

Councillor Dave Hall, who is seeking a third term on council, remarked that crime and social issues never come up at the council table, “just at election time.”

He would like to see the city explore using ticket revenue to hire more police, like North Vancouver has.

But several candidates pointed out that while Langley City has one of the highest rates of crime in Canada, it also has the highest police per citizen ratio, with one officer for every 500 people.

Asking to return to City council for her ninth term, Gayle Martin said she does care about the homeless and disadvantage, but said the province is in charge of financing this issue.

“If we take over, it is downloaded on to us,” Martin said.

Jefferson poses ‘substantial risk’ to re-offend, says judge From Page 1

With credit for the 497 days Jefferson has been in custody for that crime, about two years, seven months remain of the four-year sentence.

The judge then addressed Jefferson’s lengthy and violent criminal past to assess his future risk.

While he had numerous weapons and theft offences as a youth, it was in 2006, when he was 22, that he committed his most heinous crimes.

It was then that he terrorized a Calgary neighbourhood called Falconridge, violently raping two women and attempting to rape a third.

Jefferson was dubbed the “Falconridge rapist.”

He served six-and-ahalf years in jail before being released on probation in 2011 to live in Surrey, with a public warning that he was an

“untreated sex offender.”

In 2012, he was charged with sexually assaulting a teen in Surrey, but found not guilty earlier this year.

In court in August, Jefferson apologized for his crimes and vowed he was turning his life around, having steered clear of drugs of late and completed a violence prevention program.

But on Friday, Judge Hicks said Jefferson still has a long way to go.

“There is a substantial risk that Mr. Jefferson will re-offend,” he said, saying he “must” be designated a longterm offender.

The purpose of the sentence was not intended to penalize Jefferson, said the judge, but to provide adequate support so he may eventually be rehabilitated.

Long-term offender status differs from dangerous offender status in that a long-term of-

fender faces strict community supervision for a maximum of 10 years, while a dangerous offender may be sentenced to an indefinite prison term.

The extra designations can be applied for by prosecutors during sentencing. Such an application was not made in the case of convicted rapist Raymond Caissie, who served his time and was living in Surrey when he was charged with murdering 17-year-old Serena Vermeersch last month.

Brookswood grad arrested in US TRACY HOLMES Black Press

A former Langley woman who once tried to model for Playboy is now making headlines around the world as she faces drug charges in the U.S., following an arrest in California this month.

Krista Boseley, who grew up in Brookswood, and a man identified as B.C. native Gilles LaPointe, 60, were arrested at an airport in Orange County, Calif. on Oct. 9.

According to U.S. District Court online documents, the pair arrived by private plane, reportedly with a cache of MDMA powder and pills, as well as a large amount of U.S. currency.

POLICE WARN ABOUT SHOWING LARGE SUMS A man is out $700 after a sleight-of-hand theft while the victim was in line buying a coffee on Sept. 20.

The victim had just completed a transaction at a currency exchange, and he was in possession of $1,500 in cash.

He held the cash in his hand while waiting in line to buy a coffee.

A man standing behind him in line struck up a conversation,

indicating he was visiting from another country and eventually took the cash in his hand to look and feel the difference.

He handed the money back and the victim continued ordering his beverage.

The suspect left the store without ordering and the victim had an uneasy feeling about the interaction, said police. He took his money out of his wallet, counted it, and then found $700

Police seek information after shots fired in Aldergrove MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

Shots were fired in a quiet Aldergrove neighbourhood early Sunday morning.

Langley RCMP were called to the 26800 block of 26 Avenue around 5 a.m. after shots were fired.

Question langeytimes.com

While it is encouraging that Provincial Court Judge Michael Hicks recognized that Andrew Aurie Jefferson is a “substantial risk” to re-offend, it is very discouraging that this man will be out on the streets of Langley, Surrey and other Lower Mainland cities in the next two years or so.

Jefferson, 29, carjacked a woman in Langley City in June, 2013. He was caught by police almost immediately, and has been in custody ever since.

If this is all that he had done, he wouldn’t merit any mention on this page. Unfortunately, this young man is a ticking time bomb, as his record over the past 10 years makes crystal clear.

In 2006, when he was 22, he committed his most heinous crimes. He terrorized a Calgary neighbourhood called Falconridge, violently raping two women and attempting to rape a third. Jefferson was dubbed the “Falconridge rapist.”

He served six and one-half years in jail before being released on probation in 2011 to live in Surrey, with a public warning that he was an “untreated sex offender.”

In 2012, he was charged with sexually assaulting a teen in Surrey, but was found not guilty earlier this year.

In court in August, Jefferson apologized for his crimes and vowed he was turning his life around, having steered clear of drugs of late and completed a violence prevention program.

It would be nice to believe him. It isn’t certain that the judge did. He designated Jefferson a long-term offender, which means he will be under strict supervision for 10 years after he leaves jail.

Unfortunately, as became obvious with the case of Raymond Caissie, there is no assurance that such offenders who are released to live in the community actually receive strict supervision. Caissie’s case is remarkably similar to Jefferson’s in some ways. He served his full sentence and officials stated he was a high risk to re-offend when he was released.

He went on to be arrested for the murder of Serena Vermeersch last month. While he remains innocent until proven guilty, it is more than obvious that he was not being properly supervised after his release.

Will this be “deja vu all over again?”

of the week

Do the city and RCMP have a good handle on crime issues in Langley City?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Don’t let fear prevail they

A Burnaby company is playing a small role in the battle against the newest health scourge that is tearing through Africa and threatens to spread elsewhere.

Tekmira Pharmaceuticals has linked up with an international consortium that includes representatives of the World Health Organization (WHO), U.S. Centre for Disease Control and Medecins Sans Frontieres to advance its development of a vaccine for Ebola.

Other companies are also working on vaccines. Some, including Tekmira’s, have reportedly already been used to treat patients, foreshortening the often long and arduous trials and regulatory approvals process.

The need to stem the epidemic is that urgent.

If the epidemic isn’t stopped, it could soon become endemic, a disease that will be forever entrenched in a region, ready to spread in a moment’s inattention.

WHO estimates there could be 1.4 million cases of Ebola in West Africa by the end of January. Meantime, there has been only a trickle of volunteers among the medical community of the western world.

The fear and stigma hearkens back to the early days of AIDS. “We talk about stigma and ignorance in Liberia, but let’s be frank, there’s plenty of stigma and ignorance in our own countries, and irrational fear of being on the ground.

We have an obligation to counter that fear,” said Sheldon Yett, the UNICEF country representative in Liberia.

Hopefully, more will have the courage to volunteer.

When proper precautions are taken, there is very low risk among those working at Ebola treatment centres.

Ebola is not an awful, frequently fatal disease.

But we must act quickly and decisively, and not let fear prevent us tackling what could soon become the AIDS of our era.

— Burnaby News Leader

Naysayers seek votes by ignoring bylaws Editor: Re: The letter (The Times, Oct. 14), from Councillor Kim Richter, headlined “More than 4,400 housing units get approval in Willoughby.”

It’s disingenuous for councillors who vote “no” on almost everything, such as Richter and David Davis, to claim any kind of high ground.

Seeking her sixth term, Richter trashes Willoughby and tries to distance herself from the rest of council to make political points.

Richter’s election platform mantra claims her priorities have always been “sustainable growth.” That means higher density.

The planning department is serving up the very “sustainable development” and “smart growth” that the Township Charter, (“Focus on compact urban form”), OCP and other bylaws require.

She actually appears to be identifying, complaining of and criticizing her own inaction and failings. What has she done about it after five terms?

Richter knows how the process works, and the only reason she and Davis can abdicate and vote “no” all the time is because they know the majority of others won’t.

Once a developer’s application substantially complies with the bylaws, the municipality has an obligation to issue the permits in a reasonable time period.

Developers have lawyers and if they start getting jacked around, they will and do sue.

Imagine having a council majority of Richters and Davises. These contrarians vote against almost everything, but have no problem voting to trample our property rights by confiscating our private acreage trees, turning them into government trees.

ROLAND SEGUIN, FERNRIDGE

Column appreciated, photo not welcome Editor: Your column in the Tuesday, Oct. 14 edition of The Times on Ebola was excellent and well put. We appreciated the thoughts expressed.

What we do not appreciate is picking up the paper to find an ugly, ugly picture on the front page of a participant of the Fort Langley Zombie walk. To “celebrate” blood and death at this sick time of year surely does not need to be promoted by your newspaper as news?

We can’t imagine how parents take their children to this event and consider it all in good fun. It is tasteless and horrible and surely if the paper must cover this, a better photo could be used.

We are disappointed.

City council prefers status quo Editor: It is really sad that the most predictable question at the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce mayoralty debate (The Times, Oct. 16) was on reunification. It is equally sad that the question comes up each election cycle, and yet the people who could put an end to the unrelenting question do nothing.

Acting City mayor Ted Schaffer and the current council members are entrenched in the status quo. They have no vision, see no future for the City — a parochial council.

Kudos to the other two candidates for mayor of the City of Langley for their declarations. Randy Caine is correct — 3,176 residents asked the City to join the Township of Langley in a comprehensive independent study of the merits of reunification on Jan. 12, 2012. It was ignored.

The Township of Langley mayor and council were pre-

sented with a petition by 3,547 residents of their community, they exhibited courage and vision, and agreed to participate in a study.

Ray Lewis said he supports amalgamation, but it is not an easy issue. What would be easy is an inexpensive study done to determine if reunification is a viable option for Greater Langley.

Amalgamation will only happen if a study determines that there is merit in reunification. Every candidate for mayor or councillor in both Langley communities, Greater Langley, needs to declare for or against a study, and needs to be asked at every opportunity.

RIAN MARTIN, PRESIDENT LANGLEY REUNIFICATION ASSOCIATION

Support for Hall and Schaffer Editor: Over the 40-plus years we have lived in the City of Langley, I have been fairly outspoken when it came to the actions of our elected officials.

There have been many missteps — like the overrun on the 208 Street rebuild, the virtually unused Olympic legacy stage in Douglas Park (complete with its overrun), the over-expenditure on McBurney Lane, the vacant parking lot opposite St. Joseph’s church, the bungled dirt bike park on 200 Street, the stick signage expenditure and the “transportation hub vision,” just to name a few.

Two candidates however deserve support.

Dave Hall has the courage to speak his mind and to stand up for what he believes to be the best path that this tiny city of ours should take. He often takes a stand that is

not popular with his fellow council members. For the most part, I agree with his ideas.

Ted Schaffer will make an excellent mayor. He has no other political ambition except to become mayor. He is accessible, empathetic, has council experience, is very well thought of in the community, gets things done in a quiet and effective manner and is an all-round good guy. His term as acting mayor has prepared him well for the position.

Readers may not agree with me, but we have an abysmal record of voter turnout in our city, so please at least make your choices by taking the time to vote.

DON WOODE, LANGLEY CITY

Willoughby needs new schools Editor: A few months ago, we received the devastating news that Langley would not receive funding for new schools in the upcoming year. Our Willoughby high school (R.E. Mountain) is 400 students over capacity with 16 portables. Within six years, it’s expected to be 700 or more students over capacity, with no possibility of supporting this many students.

Our brand new middle school opened this September.

It’s a beautiful school. One to be proud of, for sure. The sad news is we’re almost at capacity in the first year and we’ll be using portables by next September.

We received provincial funding for two new elementary schools a few years ago. These schools were celebrated by our community, but next year it is predicted all five elementary schools in Willoughby will be over capacity. We will not have one school in our neighbourhood at or under capacity.

We have always been told funding for new schools would come when the students were here. They’ve been here for a while and our neighbourhood is growing daily. Take a short drive through Willoughby and you’ll be shocked by the number of new developments popping up everywhere.

From one week to the next, I am surprised by land being cleared for more housing.

Despite the growing population of students, the provin-

cial government’s promise of funding to support existing students has not materialized, and we are now left with severely overcrowded schools. We’ll soon be in a position of having to bus our children across Langley so they can go to school. It wouldn’t be the first time.

We live in a highly-developed neighbourhood with a large population of children. Why should families have to bus their children 20-30 minutes to a rural neighbourhood with no city transit, so they can attend school? That’s not acceptable.

I am tired of hearing my child’s education is at the bottom of the funding list. The Liberal government is cutting funding for education at all levels. How can we build an educated population that is competitive on the world stage, when education is not considered a priority?

How can we continue to welcome new people to B.C. and build communities when our government is not willing to spend money on the infrastructure required to support these people? It’s time to invest in our children and our communities. We need funding for new schools now. The health of our community and the success of our children depend on it.

She was involved in the public hearing, council meetings, and other rallies to bring the community of Brookswood/Fernridge out in great numbers to speak against the now-defeated OCP.

Grant Ward seeking re-election Grant Ward is seeking re-election to Langley Township council. He says he has been “honoured and proud to serve Langley Township as a dedicated public servant for the past 12 years” and he wants to continue that service.

“What better way than to serve the Township as a councillor, striving to keep it vibrant, healthy and the respected municipality that it presently is?

“I have exercised strong leadership and made informed decisions based on due diligence, best practices, and common sense, and by listening to our citizens, the taxpayers, expert advice of our staff, and consultants. This includes approving budgets and priorities where a prudent, frugal, and responsible team approach was important and necessary,” Ward says.

“As public servants, we need to fiscally manage our tax dollars, ensuring that smart and sustainable development along with transportation and economic development takes place, while recognizing the protective service levels (fire and police) are in concert with

DYNAMIC IS THE SOURCE FOR ALL YOUR LIGHTING AND EFFECTS IN THE FRASER VALLEY

Halloween is just around the corner, and as families get ready to celebrate this fun and spooky time of year, there is one thing they may want to do without: candles.

“Decorations are the first thing to ignite in hundreds of home fires each year,” said Township of Langley Public Fire and Life Safety Educator Krista Barton. “Statistics show that two of every five of those were started by a candle.”

To keep Halloween safe, the Township Fire Department strongly advises residents to forgo open flames. Instead, use flashlights or battery-operated candles in jacko-lanterns and for decorating, and opt for torch lights when illuminating walkways and yards.

“They are much safer for trick-or-treaters, whose costumes may brush against the lighting,” said Barton.

If you do chose to go with candles, use extreme caution and keep them away from children and anything that can burn. Light candles inside jack-o-lanterns with long utility lighters or fireplace-style matches and place lit pumpkins out of the way of trick-ortreaters coming into yards, walkways, and doorsteps.

Those who are dressing up should avoid billowing or long trailing fabric that may come into contact with flames, and children should be taught to “stop, drop, and roll,” should their clothing catch fire. “Have them practice stopping immediately, dropping to the ground, covering their face with their hands, and rolling over and over to put the flames out,” Barton said.

Children – and anyone out and about on Halloween night – should carry flashlights or

glow sticks to enhance their visibility. When wearing a mask, ensure the eye holes are large enough to properly see out of.

When decorating, keep items well away from open flames and heat sources, including light bulbs and heaters. “Dried flowers, cornstalks, and crepe paper are highly flammable,” Barton said, and reminded residents to keep all exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks potential fire escape routes.

Fireworks are a fun Halloween tradition, but something the Fire Department says should be left to professionals.

“The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend a public display,” said Barton.

Children should never pick up leftover fireworks after a display as they might still be active, she warned, noting that the risk of suffering from a firework-related injury is highest for children aged 5 to 14. Even sparklers have the potential to do great damage.

The tip of a sparkler burns at more than 648 degrees Celsius, hot enough to cause third degree burns.

Those who want to buy, own, move, or ignite fireworks in the Township of Langley must be aged 18 or older, be certified by the Explosive Regulatory Division of Natural Resources Canada as a Fireworks Supervisor, and apply for a Public Fireworks Event Permit from the Township Fire Department.

Those seeking permits must have a minimum clear area of 30 metres by 30 metres (100 by 100 feet), which means most suburban residential lots are not large enough to meet the required safety clearances. A $5,000,000 comprehensive general liability insurance policy must also be secured.

You & The Law

PRESENTS Act fast to claim past child support If you have custody of your child or children, can you claim past child support from the other parent? How far back can your claim go, and how much money can be claimed?

gent” or poor status).

These questions often trouble the courts.

Factors to be weighed include hardship on the part of the payor to pay such back-reaching support, delay in making the claim, the child’s needs, any increases in the payor’s earnings, the child’s right to share in such increase, and non-disclosure by the payor of earning increases in the past.

A recent case decided by the BC Court of Appeal sheds some light on the issues involved.

Ms. and Mr. H met when they were 16 and 18 years old, respectively. They moved in together after a year and married six years later in 1990. A month later, their child was born. They separated once in 1992 and again in 1996. During the second separation, Ms. H got a child support order of $181 month, which Mr. H paid. They reconciled for a time, then separated for the last time in 2000. They got divorced in 2006.

In 2001, Ms. H demanded an updated financial disclosure statement from Mr. H. He gave this, but underestimated his income and omitted an asset (a halfinterest in a house in Vernon). In 2002 and 2003, Ms. H again demanded an updated disclosure statement, which Mr. H didn’t give. In 2005, Mr. H increased the monthly support payments. Finally in 2006, Ms. H claimed, among other things, “retroactive” or past child support, as her ex’s income had shot up significantly over the previous years. She had a lawyer at trial, but represented herself before the Court of Appeal (she was granted “indi-

The Court of Appeal upheld her claim for past child support for 2003, 2004 and 2005. Based on four previous Supreme Court of Canada decisions, the Court of Appeal noted that retroactive payments should normally only go back the three previous years, unless there is “blameworthy conduct” by the payor. The earliest starting date for retroactive support should be the date when notice of the claim was effectively given (in this case, 2001, when Ms. H first demanded an updated financial disclosure statement).

Here, Mr. H’s conduct was blameworthy because he ignored his ex-wife’s repeated demands for updated financial documents and didn’t boost his support payments as his income went up. But the support he paid in 2001 and 2002 was about the same as what he should have paid. The court therefore only had to order past support for the three previous years of 2003 to 2005, when Mr. H should have paid monthly support of $323, $397 and $507, respectively.

If a change in your ex’s circumstances (like an increase in income) would allow a bump in child support, don’t delay your claim for past child support. You’re expected to be vigilant and prompt. The courts note that it’s hard for the paying parent to pay a retroactive lump sum judgment. Also, you cannot claim retroactive child support once your child becomes an adult. Consult your family lawyer for specific advice.

The homeowner purchased the home with the intention of renovating it, and called in Novell Design Build to realize his dreams. Among the renovations was removing the roof and adding head room, along with two bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry room and storage on the top floor.

Kitsilano home gets a facelift from Novell Design Build A home from 1928 is renovated from top to bottom to fit the needs of a homeowner with plans to have a family and bring the old home up to date.

By Kerry Vital Old World style and thoughtful details combine in a seriously gorgeous home in Kitsilano, completely renovated by Novell Design Build.

“We are so excited about this house,” says Laurel James, director and principal designer at Novell Design Build. “It truly was crafted; there’s something in every room and it really suits the homeowner. Everywhere you look there’s a surprise.”

The owner purchased the home, originally built in 1928, with the intention to renovate it.

“Multiple renovations over the years compromised the original character of the home,” James says. “The entire house has been re-planned and the roof lifted to accommodate a growing family.”

Lifting the roof changed the top floor attic from a space with no head room to a full upper level with room for sleeping and relaxing.

“We had a strict limit to the amount of square footage we could add to the house, yet we desperately wanted to create a usable upper level,” James says. “We exceeded the code

requirements for thermal ratings on the exterior walls in the lower level, earning a space credit that we dispersed upstairs, along with lifting our mechanical room up into the attic crawl space where it was excluded from our square footage, and maximizing space exemptions for storage and head room clearance on the stairs. All of this allowed us to scrape together enough room for two bedrooms, one with a seating area and desk, a bathroom, laundry and storage upstairs.”

Other highlights include 12-foot ceilings in the kitchen, designer lighting pieces and a custom cast fireplace in the den.

“The powder room is articulated with a dramatic display of calacutta (marble) hex tiles, offset with an antique vanity, restored lighting fixtures and un-lacquered brass fittings throughout,” says James. “It’s really dramatic.”

The renovations incorporate the homeowner’s art and antique collection, which was an important feature for him.

“An Old World feel, eclectic mix of classic styles and thoughtful detailing bring character and lift back to this early century home,” James says.

Another stunning feature of the home is the capability for indoor and outdoor living.

“A massive folding operable wall as wide as the kitchen facilitates a true connection to the outdoors,” James says. This allows the homeowner to live and dine inside or outside.

One of the little surprises that James is so excited about is the drawers beneath the stairs that

Crafting and sculpting an old home into something fit for a growing family “ from page. allow for more storage and add some interest.

“The closets in the bedroom were really inspired,” James says. “We were able to turn his thoughts into reality with unique closets with French doors on the front. It’s really the right feel for the home, and creates visual interest with Hampton-esque closet built-ins.”

As with the square footage considerations, renovating this older home was not without its challenges.

“Bringing the structure and energy performance of a 1928 house up to, and beyond, current codes was a challenge,” says James. “We managed to do it with thoughtful restructuring strategies that both allowed us to keep the original foundations and facilitate an open floor plan – along with using new technologies in spray foam insulation and air tightness. To do this, we had to carefully manage the budget together with the owner to allow for these upgrades to the infrastructure; what you don’t see behind the walls.”

The renovations took just under a year, but the homeowner is extremely happy with the finished product.

“He is so thrilled with the home and how it turned out,” James says. “Any renovation of this scope is a big risk; you have to trust the people you work with. He’s thankful he took those risks.”

The renovated home includes beautiful new features including a custom closet, stunning new kichen with 12foot ceilings and plenty of space for indoor and outdoor living.

Controlling the chaos of home technology Organizing all your media technology prevents clutter and ensures everything works as it’s supposed to.

By Kerry Vital No one likes a cluttered home. That’s particularly true when it comes to technology.

“It’s no longer necessary to have a stack of components beside your TV,” says Lee Rente of Encore Security and Automation, citing examples of components as DVD players, gaming systems, media servers such as an AppleTV, or a digital cable box. “A racking system will allow you to keep everything organized in one space and allow you to access multiple sources from each TV in your home.”

In order to facilitate this, it is recommended to include some degree of home automation, as it will streamline the process and ensure everything works as it should.

“A home automation system will be able to tell when something is doing what it’s supposed to do, while a plain remote that you get with your TV won’t have that functionality,” Rente says.

“With the advent of streaming media, most people will never have to access their components.”

However, he recommends using a racking system that will give you access to the back of said system if necessary, to ease in troubleshooting. Most racking systems are modular and include shelving to place your DVD players and other assorted components, as well as built-in wire management to keep

every cord neat and secure. Many racks will also have built-in fans to keep the components cool, which will ensure a longer lifespan for your technology, and surge protectors to prevent damage from power surges.

“You can also get accessories such as glass doors to make it fit in better with your existing decor, instead of only purely functional,” says Rente.

Media racks can be placed nearly anywhere.

“Don’t be afraid to relocate your systems to nearby closets to achieve that clean look of just having a TV on the wall,” Rente says. Another option is in a media room itself through built-in cabinetry.

One advantage of centralizing your technology is that a single rack can be used for multiple rooms and multiple televisions.

“You can purchase a device that will split a single DVD player or media server across a number of televisions,” says Rente. “This will allow you to access multiple sources from each television, and the ability to access the same source from multiple TVs. So, you can watch the same television show on two different TVs, for example.”

This type of system works well for man caves or recreation rooms that have multiple televisions, as they allow you to play the big game across all of the TVs, or have different sports playing at the same time on multiple screens.

FREE

Keeping all of your media components in one place is not only convenient, but also better aesthetically as you will no longer have to pile your DVD player, media server and cable box underneath your television.

Hitting the floor with cool and sleek tiles

By Kerry Vital Flooring is an integral part of any renovation. It’s often one of the first things people consider when looking to renovate, and it can tie the entire room together into one cohesive space.

“The most important thing to consider when installing a new floor is that you don’t want it to look renovated,” says Sanj Aggarwal of Mainland Tile. “Sometimes it can look a little out of place. For example, an ultra-modern style in a traditional home. You want there to be a nice flow between rooms.”

West Coast is a popular style in many aspects of home decor, and this translates to flooring as well.

“The West Coast is a lot different than other areas,” Aggarwal says. “What works somewhere else won’t always work here. Earth tones with grey walls seems to work well in Vancouver.”

He cites a recent example of a home in South Surrey that includes marble tile on the main floor in a modern design.

“There are a lot of clean lines and crisp colours,” he says.

Another example that works well on the West Coast is a return to nature and more subdued shades. Ornate traditional

styles are more popular outside of the Lower Mainland. Larger format tiles such as 12’ by 24’ and even larger are a popular choice, while smaller sizes are going out of style.

Other out-of-fashion styles include tiles inlaid with a design and glass mosaics.

Popular flooring differs depending on the room it’s being installed in. For example, clean lines and neutral colours are most popular in the master ensuite, to give the homeowner a spa-like feeling.

“You want to enjoy the setting,” Aggarwal says. “You’re going for a clean design; this is not the place you want to feel cozy. Whiteon-white-on-white works well in a modern design.”

In the kitchen, natural stones are still in.

“Marble, travertine and porcelain are still very much in style,” says Aggarwal. “For example, you could put marble on the floor with very modern cabinets.”

Jennifer Scott: A Good Chick To Know

By Kerry Vital For style expert Jennifer Scott of A Good Chick To Know, style is about more than homes or clothing. In fact, it’s a combination of both for the designer who started off working purely in fashion.

“I kind of organically ended up doing this,” Scott says. “I have a Bachelor of Design (degree) from Ryerson University in Toronto, and worked in fashion as a stylist. I found that many of the principles of design transfer over to interiors, and started doing a lot more of that kind of design work.”

In 2011, her design won second place in the BC’s Best Young Designer competition.

Scott started A Good Chick To Know four years ago, and continues to assist clients with many aspects of their lives. She offers interior design services as well as wardrobe styling, and notes that the principle of “something old, something new” works well for both facets of the design industry.

As for where the name came from, Scott Jennifer Scott of A Good Chick To Know is enjoying the return laughs and says that she has always had the to neutral whites and off-whites in her own home, and urges name in the back of her head. people to consider different textiles and textures.

Decorating for small spaces

By Kerry Vital Living in the Lower Mainland means living in the one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It also means living in one with plenty of options for housing types, from large single-family residences to small condominiums. Decorating a large space has its challenges, but decorating a small space can sometimes be even more complicated.

Designing for smaller spaces starts with some multi-tasking.

“Good design enhances how the occupants really live,” says Laura Anderson of Resource Furniture. “Multi-functional pieces that transform can make one space do the work of two, or three, or four.”

Among the options are tables, beds, storage solutions and desks, just to name a few.

One of the biggest challenges involved in living in a small space is keeping on top of clutter.

“Editing possessions is a critical first step,” says Anderson. “Dedicating enough closed storage for the items you can’t do without is next.”

While it might be tempting to go for an inexpensive option, Anderson warns against that.

“Look for quality,” Anderson says. “There is nothing environmentally friendly about purchasing an item that must be thrown away and replaced.”

Moving beyond furniture, there are simple decor tricks that can make your home feel larger. Everyone has heard of the adage that black makes something look smaller while white makes something look larger. While this is often true, it’s not a hard-and-fast rule.

In fact, dark colours can make your home feel cozy and inviting, which can be more important than making a room feel larger.

Allowing plenty of natural light into your space will be beneficial when making your

Murphy beds, also known as wall beds, below, are another great option for saving space.

home feel larger. Matching your draperies to the walls will avoid contrast, which will keep the walls looking seamless.

Above all, it is important to make your home feel like your own, and that will start with keeping it as clutterfree as possible. Stacks of possessions will just make your home look smaller, whether you’re living in a penthouse or a studio.

“Less is more, no matter what size the home!”

Anderson says.

Douglas Day Banquet Salutes Our Pioneer Mechanics

14 Years Bonded & Insured

J i m Mc G re g o r, Ti m e s R e p o r t er

This year’s Douglas Day Banquet will be held at noon on Wednesday, November 19th at the Langley Events Centre and this year the Committee will be recognizing our pioneer mechanics.

Throughout Langley Prairie and the surrounding municipality there were many small garages, strategically located to provide a service to the area by maintaining the family car, repairing the farm equipment and maybe offering a gas pump or two.

Each area of the community had someone to rely on to not just sale gasoline but to keep the vehicles in tune and the farm equipment running. It may have been George Pihan in Murrayville, Don Reid or Roy Seney in Fort Langley or a visit to Ross Motors in Aldergrove, but there was always someone close by that could be relied upon.

The garage owner would interrupt an engine rebuild to put a patch on a bicycle tube or run a weld that would hold a community together.

In Langley Prairie, now Langley City, the Barron family provided reliable service to many satisfied customers for almost fifty years.

Wm. F. Barron moved to Langley in 1938 and opened his garage on Fraser Highway, just west of the Langley Hotel. With the help of his sons, he operated as a Standard Oil and Chevron dealer. Eventually in 1955, his son Bill Jr. purchased the gas station across the street and the family now had two locations in the same block.

In 1957, Walt and Del Barron bought out their father and operated the garage until 1997 and became the longest operating Chevron dealer in the Province at that time.

In Langley Prairie, now Langley City, the Barron family provided reliable service to many satisfied customers for almost fifty years.

Del Barron recalls his decision to join the family business. “I worked for a few years for the railroad as a ‘rail hooker’ and then after that I worked with K.J. Moore Electric in Fort Langley and my brother had worked for Dad at the garage for years. In 1957, we were offered the business so we formed a partnership with Walt looking after the front end and the gas sales and I looked after the shop.

I was a workaholic and the long hours didn’t bother me.”

Keeping the customers on the road was of-

that all the Pioneers look forward to the event. “We listened to the feedback from last year and the majority like the noon event.

This way we will provide a full hot meal for lunch and hopefully, because it is a daytime event, many of our pioneers that don’t come out in the evening will be able to attend.”

The formal celebration of Douglas Day began in Langley in 1946 (there were some banquets held as early as the 1920’s with the Native Sons and Native Daughters acting as hosts). But since 1946, each year there has been a dinner to honour our pioneers.

The first couple of decades the event was held at the Fort Langley Community Hall. It was a celebration that included pioneers from Surrey and Delta. Pioneer Balls were also hosted prior to the dinner in preparation of this annual celebration. The early days hosted roughly 30 pioneers but this has since grown to over 200 Pioneers. The banquet outgrew the hall in Fort Langley and moved to the Civic Centre in 1973. Now with close to 400 in attendance, the event is held at the Langley Events Center at 200th.

St. and 80th. Ave. This has become a long standing tradition within the community to honour the pioneers of the Township and City of Langley. For many years the Provincial Cabinet would attend the Douglas Day Festivities and hold a cabinet meeting at the Fort. The last time the cabinet attended was on B.C’s 150th birthday.

Alice explains how you get to be classed as a pioneer. “A Langley pioneer is someone who is at least 70 years of age; currently lives in Langley; and has lived at least 60 of those years in Langley.

Who said retirement living couldn’t be fun?

Snowbird Insurance correction Lilianne Fulle r, Time s Re porter

Thanks to one of our readers, there’s a twist to the story that appeared in Living 60+’s magazine October edition (Snowbird Lifestyle; do you have the right insurance?). I must admit I do have egg on my face because it turns out that because Topher is a retired Federal employee and we are short term snowbirds we didn’t need to purchase extra travel insurance from a third party. We should have reviewed the medical benefit package that covers both retired and active federal employees. Included in that package is a $500,000. travel insurance policy that is available for every trip regardless of the duration or location. It was an exercise that proved the necessity to completely examine any travel in-

surance policy because after the fact I learned that our primary insurer uses a company in which Amerimed Hospital has a partnership agreement and my care would have been completely covered. By purchasing additional coverage from a third party carrier, it circumvented our original policy and we had to pay upfront.

We have since cancelled our third party policy but for non federal retirees, purchasing extra coverage could still be a viable option.

Culturally-sensitive extended care In a meeting at Progressive Intercultural Community Services (PICS) Society Senior’s Housing Facility in July. PICS announced a culturally-sensitive extended care facility. PICS has purchased 3.5 acres of land in Cloverdale.

Hon. Jason Kenney, Minister of Employment and Social Development and Minister for Multiculturalism dropped by and brought greetings from the Prime Minister of Canada stating, “The government of Canada congratulates PICS for doing such a wonderful project. It’s not only for multicultural seniors, but it is a humanitarian service for the whole of Canada. The government of Canada supports such a wonderful initiative”. Hon. Kenney had a wonderful discussion to address community issues presented by PICS Society Board of Directors. He appreciated PICS’ service to the community for the past 28 years and added “We will certainly support the culturally-sensitive project started by PICS”.

PICS’ CEO, Mr. Charan Gill thanked Hon. Kenney for his personal and official support and for listening seriously to the issues presented by the Board. This project will save money to the tax payers and will be a great facility for the Lower Mainland and B.C. seniors. We are pleased to inform everyone that the federal, provincial and local municipal support is there. We believe the project will materialize soon and will be a great success. This project will ease pressure from Surrey Memorial Hospital and other hospitals around the Lower Mainland by providing this cultural appropriate service - a first of its kind in B.C. Mr. Gill urged the community to come behind this project regardless of their political or religious affiliations as this project will provide services to all who need this type of facility.

SMALL BUSINESS WEEK OCT 19-25

Energy efficiency.

Good for smaller footprints.

And your bottom line.

Don’t let your operating costs leave you in the cold this winter.

As a small business, you probably want to focus on making money.

FortisBC can help reduce your operating costs with no-cost and low-cost energy saving tips to help lower your monthly natural gas bill and reduce your environmental footprint.

If you’re in the position to upgrade space and water heating systems or commercial cooking equipment, FortisBC also offers rebates on highefficiency models.

Small actions can add up to savings Think about cutting costs where you won’t notice it. If your business uses natural gas for heating or cooking, here are some easy tips from FortisBC to help you save energy and money.

Save hot water ■ Fix leaky taps and install watersaving aerators on kitchen and bathroom faucets.

■ If running a commercial kitchen consider installing a low-flow spray valve to pre-rinse dishes. These devices use approximately 50 per cent less water than standard types.

■ If you can access your hot water pipes, wrap them with foam or rubber pipe insulation to prevent heat loss.

Save heat ■ Install a programmable thermostat and program it to 20 °C when at work and no more than 17 °C when no one is there.

■ Your space could stay warm for up to an hour before the heating system needs to kick in again, so why not program your thermostat to turn down the heat an hour before you close shop.

■ If you operate a street front business, don’t leave the door open on cold days as it’ll push all your heated air out the door.

Upgrading can save you two ways When it’s time to upgrade, check out FortisBC’s rebates for highefficiency boilers, water heaters and cooking equipment. In addition to the rebate, you’ll experience ongoing savings on your natural gas bill with more efficient appliances installed. If you’re not sure what upgrade is right for your business, consider a free consultation from a business energy advisor. It’s all part of how FortisBC is helping businesses save energy and money.

Learn more For energy saving tips, rebate information and more, visit fortisbc.com/smallerfootprints.

Free small business seminar, October 23 Join Colton Aston from FortisBC’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation department for a free seminar hosted by Small Business BC on improving the energy efficiency of your business.

“The more detail, the better—within reason of course,” says Deol. “It really helps your financial advisor understand your vision for your business and makes it easier for them

to say yes when you need additional funds to grow your business.”

He points out that in the Google age, information and tools for business plan writing abound on the web—and from sources like local chambers of commerce.

“Although it may seem like a lot of work to create a business plan, there are a lot of helpful resources out there,” says Deol. “In the end, the final result is worth the effort. I find that the more planning goes in at the beginning, the more successful the business will be in the long-term.”

Deol notes that many small business owners have some form of plan—but it’s tucked away in their head.

“You’ve got to put that business plan on paper,” he notes. “It then becomes a point of reference as you go forward. It’s like personal goals—people who have better success are often in the habit of writing their goals down. There’s something to be said about committing things to paper.”

To make a business plan a solid guide for operating a business, Deol recommends that the plan contain three key focus areas: a financial plan, an operational plan and a marketing plan. More specifically, he suggests business owners include the following information:

Come for a drink, stay for the social anxiety LANGLEY PLAYERS PRESENT CANADIAN COMEDY, COCKTAILS AT PAM’S UNTIL NOV. 15 BR EN D A AN D E R SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

Social intercourse can be a complex and intimidating prospect at the best of times.

Throw in a few doubts about proper party etiquette and the potential for an embarrassing misstep increases exponentially — with hilarious results.

That’s the premise of Langley Players fall production, Cocktails at Pam’s — a quirky comedy written by Edmonton playwright, Stewart Lemoine.

The play, which opens on Oct. 16 at the Langley Playhouse and continues until Nov. 15, takes a humorous look at that 1960s society staple — the ‘cocktail party’.

Attending a house party held during the dinner hour, at which only canapés are served, can leave guests wondering whether they should eat dinner before or after the party, while pompous guests have meaningless conversations with people they only tolerate.

Combine those elements with an anxious hostess who wants everything to be perfect and guests who just won’t co-operate, and Cocktails at Pam’s is an evening headed for disaster.

Langley Players’ first offering of the 2014-15 season is directed by club president Dave Williams and produced by longtime member and past-president, Mary Renvall.

The production marks Williams’ first time in the director’s chair. But he’s been involved with the drama group since 2007,

DAN FER GUSON Langley Time s

From left: Emily Gingera (Langley), Pat McDermott (Abbotsford), Philip Hale (Langley), Elyse Raible (Surrey) and Andy Wood (Cloverdale) rehearse a scene from . when Renvall, a hairdresser, was directing a production of Maggie’s Getting Married and needed an actor with a particular look to play one of the male characters.

Williams, one of Renvall’s clients, fit the physical description.

“He was sitting in my chair and I asked

him, ‘Have you ever acted?’”

Williams replied that, no, he’d never been on stage, but Renvall sent him home with a script anyway.

“He had no aspirations to act, and now he’s directing a cast of 11,” she chuckled.

For an amateur theatre company, land-

Museum and TWU keep the homefires burning It has been 75 years since the onset of the Second World War, and even though it was a terrible chapter in history, some memories of those years are less somber.

“Although war was raging in Europe and most thoughts were focused there, some of the best music, comedy, and entertainment came out of that 1940s period,” said Peter Tulumello, cultural services manager with the Township of Langley.

“Many actors, musicians, comedians and singers came to the forefront to help boost morale among troops and keep those on the home front hopeful of victory and of the safe return of family members and friends.”

To celebrate that time, the Langley Centennial Museum and Trinity Western University’s School of the Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC) will present Until Everyone Comes Home, a variety show with historical vignettes from the Second World War period.

The Salvation Army Gateway of Hope

Aldergrove Thrift Store

The show will be held at the Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 1.

Created to commemorate an era of entertainment and the people who created the moments that made everyone smile, a cast of gifted performers has been lined up by the museum, SAMC, and local talent agent Sandy Dunkley.

“I am so proud of the local singers who have agreed to perform at this event,” Dunkley said.

“Ahnika Barber is a young girl with an amazing voice who will sing Judy Garland songs. She even resembles Garland from the A Star is Born movie poster.”

The show will also feature performances by emcee/musician Douglas Fraser, soprano Eva Tavares, Langley Has Talent/KPU scholarship award winner Hayley Bouey, and singer and actress Elizabeth MacPherson.

ing Williams was something of a coup, said Renvall.

The retired principal is a talented visual artist who is also an accomplished carpenter and is good with people, she said.

“He’s very patient and he’s had a lot of support (in his directorial debut),” Renvall said.

“He’s a likable guy.”

“When I first saw Cocktails at Pam’s I thought it would be a delightful play to present to our Langley Playhouse audiences,” said Williams.

“The mid-century décor, designed by our award-winning team, fits a time period that many of our patrons can relate to – 1965, a time of change.

“The play is an ensemble piece with 11 characters, which gives 11 actors the chance to explore and define their uniquely quirky personalities,” he added.

Cocktails at Pam’s runs Thursdays to Sundays until Nov. 15 at the Langley Playhouse, 4307 200 St. in Brookswood. Show times are 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.

Because it’s a one-act play, with no intermission, the club is offering signature cocktails before the show.

Canadian, British, US acts honoured From Page 34

sub mitted ima g e

Until Everyone Comes Home, a Second World War-era variety show takes place Nov. 1 at Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley.

Participating Trinity Western University students, professors, and alumni include crooner Alex McCune, comedy duo Nash & Gage, singer and actress Charlotte Elgersma, and the TWU Jazz Quintet.

Headlining the show will be the Lady Larks, a group of girls portraying the popular Andrews Sisters, a chart-topping swing and jazz singing trio and favourite of American soldiers at USO Shows.

Until Everyone Comes Home is named for the original motto of the USO canteen shows.

However, the Nov. 1 performance is not focused on USO performers, nor will it follow the format of a USO show.

“In putting the show together, the event planning team looked at British, Canadian, and American entertainers who were popular on stage, in movie theatres, on records, and on radio programs of the era,” said Allan Thorpe, chair of TWU’s music department and the show’s music director.

“We will be highlighting the work of

Canadian and British artists before the intermission, and completing the afternoon with works associated with American entertainers of the 1940s.”

The Canadian/British component will include music by British song bird Vera Lynn and Canadian-born Hollywood actress Deanna Durbin, comedic and musical skits from CBC Radio’s The Army Show, and the Royal Canadian Navy’s Meet the Navy touring stage production.

Some interesting cross-connections were discovered while researching material for the show, said Tulumello.

“Did you know that the song that launched Frank Sinatra’s career in 1940, I’ll Never Smile Again, was written by Canadian songwriter Ruth Lowe?

“And that in 1942 she wrote a second song for Sinatra, Put Your Dreams Away, that immediately became his signature closing song for many years?”

He added that the museum and TWU “are grateful to the families of the late Wayne and Shuster who granted us permission to use a routine from The Army Show, which was co-written and performed by those two giants of comedy.

Deglan ready for Australian adventure GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports

ROBE RT GURGANUS Four Seam Im ages

Kellin Deglan split this past season between Hickory and Myrtle Beach as part of the Texas Rangers organization. The 22-year-old from Langley is off to Australia where he will spend the next three months playing winter ball with the Melbourne Aces, before returning for the 2015 baseball season.

High five for streaking Knights

Two more victories pushed the Langley Knights winning streak to five games and has helped the junior B hockey squad open up a six-point lead atop the standings as the season hits the quarter mark.

The Knights sit at 8-3-0-0 after doubling the Grandview Steelers 6-3 on Thursday night at the George Preston

Like many 20-somethings, Kellin Deglan is off to Australia on an adventure.

But while others his age are there to explore the Land Down Under and backpack their way through the popular travel destination, Deglan is there with one goal in mind: developing his baseball game to help further his career advance to the next level.

The 22-year-old is off to Australia, where he will play for the Melbourne Aces in the Australian Baseball League.

The ABL is a six-team league with a 13-game regular season schedule that goes from the end of this month until late January.

He chatted with The Times earlier this month while home visiting his family in Langley, before heading off to Arizona — where he is based in the off-season — and then to Australia.

It was Deglan’s idea to play through the winter, and was fully supported by the Texas Rangers, the Major League Baseball organization which drafted him four years ago.

The Rangers selected Deglan in the first round (22nd overall) out of the Langley Blaze Premier Baseball program and after he graduated from R.E. Mountain Secondary that June, he signed to play professionally in the Rangers organization.

Chasing his dream of playing in the big leagues has been a slow process for the six-foottwo, 195-pounder.

“When I first signed, yeah, I thought I would be up there at 22, 23 years old,” he admitted.

“I have had my ups and downs so far in my young career, but it has been a good ride and I am enjoying it and getting better every season.”

The average age of a Major

Recreation Centre and then posting a 4-2 victory over the Mission City Outlaws on Saturday night at the Mission Leisure Centre.

Against the Steelers, Jacob Fricks broke a 3-3 tie early in the third and Dylan McCann scored twice in the final three minutes.

Carson Rose, Alex Kalau

League Baseball player is 27, and according to Baseball Prospectus, players making their major league debut as catchers — Deglan’s position — tend to be just a shade under 25 years old.

The hardest thing about the life of a pro ball player has been maintaining consistency over a 140-game season, Deglan said.

“Every day is a new challenge, you only get one, maybe two off-days a month.

“You have to bring it every day.”

Altogether, he has played 403 games over five seasons of minor league ball.

This past season was spent primarily with the Single-A Hickory Crawdads (North Carolina) of the South Atlantic League, with some time at Single-A Advanced level with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans (South Carolina) of the Carolina League.

Combined in the 101 games he played in 2014, Deglan hit .247 with a .314 on-base percentage and a .450 slugging percentage. While his on-base percentage was bang on for his career average, the other two represented career highs.

And with increased production, it should come as little surprise that Deglan said this past season has been his most fun.

“I played the most I have played in my career, I was getting consistent at-bats,” he said.

It also proved that the work he did last off-season on improving his swing mechanics, paid off.

“I have to give a lot of credit to my hitting coach (Bobby Rose), he helped me a lot,” Deglan said.

“I was just consistent and had a lot of big hits, a lot of RBIs.” One game back in June with Hickory really stands out.

and Levi De Waal had the other goals while Cole Forbes stopped 32 shots in the victory.

In Mission, two nights later, Langley won their second straight road game — after losing their first three — thanks to a pair of goals from Tristan Craighead.

The Outlaws had led 2-0 late

In that contest, Deglan went 3-for-5 with two home runs — including a grand slam — and seven RBIs. He finished the season with 16 home runs, 68 RBIs and nearly 46 per cent of his hits (42 of 92) went for extra-bases.

All of those numbers were career-bests.

Defensively — playing one of the most demanding positions — Deglan has excelled, with a career .988 fielding percentage.

He has also thrown out 29 per cent of would-be base stealers (113 out of 389 stolen base attempts).

“Catching takes a toll on the body,” he admitted. “You have to do a lot of stretching and all that to take care of yourself or else you will be in pain all year.”

And Deglan knows defence is likely his ticket to the big leagues.

“They (Texas) like me behind the plate, they like my defence,” he said.

“They told me they wanted to see more consistency this year and I was.

“My defence is pretty solid right now; I just have to keep working on my offence.”

As for any lingering doubts about his career progression, Deglan said he just has to continue working hard.

“We have had a lot of changes in our organization — I am on my third farm director since I signed — everybody’s plan is different,” he said.

“My path has been slowed a little bit but I feel good with how my game has progressed year by year. I am feeling more and more confident about my game. I am just going to try and not worry about putting a time line in place and just keep going out and playing.”

“Guys are getting opportunities and a lot of my friends are moving up,” he added. “I just have to keep plugging away.”

in the first before the Knights scored the final four goals of the game.

Craighead’s first made it 2-1 after 20 minutes and Jackson Surbey scored on the power play to even things up at two after two periods.

Mitchell Biermann potted the winner early in the third and Craighead’s second — on

the power play — added some insurance.

Nickolas Trenciansky stopped 27 of the 29 shots.

The Knights host the Aldergrove Kodiaks on Thursday (Oct. 23) at the Preston Centre.

Aldergrove is on a six-game losing streak after falling 6-2 to North Vancouver and 8-5 to Port Moody.
