The Second Battle of Ypres HISTORIAN WARREN SOMMER RECOUNTS HOW CANADIAN TROOPS SAVED THE ALLIES FROM A MAJOR DEFEAT DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR BATTLE, 100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK WARREN SOMMER Times Contributor
A century has passed since Canadians took up arms during the First World War. Save for Confederation itself, the conflict was perhaps the most significant event in the country’s history.
Yet, as a recent nation-wide survey revealed, today’s Canadians know very little about it. While most have heard of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, fewer than half can name the war of which it formed a part. Although Vimy has played an important

role in developing a sense of Canadian identity, its significance to the war itself can easily be overstated. Other engagements, such as the Second Battle of Ypres, and “The One Hundred Days” that saw the bloody conflict finally come to an end, were arguably far more
crucial to the war’s final outcome. When war was declared against Germany in August 1914, thousands of Canadians volunteered for active service. After its initial training at Valcartier, Continued Page 10

A 27-year-old Langley man was sentenced to 10 months in jail followed by three years probation for distributing and importing child pornography. Sean David McIntyre was also given six months in jail and three years probation for accessing child pornography in Surrey Provincial Court on Friday. He was also sentenced to 10 months for distributing child porn that same day. The charges stem back to January 2012. He was also given a 10 year ban under Criminal Code Section 161, that prohibits him from going to parks, playgrounds, schools and community centres. It

also bans him from trying to gain employment involving children for 10 years. It also bans him from using the Internet. McIntyre was back in court on April 21 for new charges of making child pornography on Feb. 12 of this year. He is also charged with importing and possessing child porn (laid on Sept. 26, 2014.) He is facing breaching his conditions and accessing child porn on Christmas Day, 2014. It was in March when an investigation by the BC Integrated Child Exploitation unit and the Integrated Sexual Predator Observation Team, with assistance by the Langley RCMP, led to the most recent arrest of McIntyre.

Murray Power, Officer in Charge of the Langley detachment. “One at a time, we will endeavour to chip away at those who choose to engage in this type of criminal activity and create an associated negative effect on our communities.”

Butorac guilty of murdering Sheryl Korroll ALDERGROVE MAN WILL NOW GO TO TRIAL IN THE KILLINGS OF TWO MORE WOMEN MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
A B.C. Supreme Court jury has found Davey Butorac guilty of murdering Langley City sex trade worker Sheryl Korroll. The jury began deliberating Monday and returned with its verdict in court in New Westminster on Wednesday. Butorac, 36, will be back before a judge to fix a date for his sentencing for second degree murder on May 21. This is the second time Butorac has been convicted of Korroll’s murder. In 2010, a jury found Butorac guilty of the second-degree mur-
der of 46-year-old Gwendolyn Jo Lawton in March of 2007 in Abbotsford. He was also convicted at the same trial of second-degree murder in Korroll’s death. A judge sentenced him to life in prison with a no chance of parole for 23 years. Butorac appealed the convictions, and won new and separate trials for the murders of Korroll and Lawton. No trial date has been set for the trial on the Lawton murder. Butorac will also be going to trial, charged with the 2006 murder of Aldergrove’s Margaret Redford. The 47-year-old’s body was found

in Bertrand Creek, blocks from where Butorac lived with his father. Both those cases are linked to Butorac through DNA as well. No trial date has been set for the Redford case. No motive has ever been made public at the two trials Butorac has already been through. His parents have written letters to the courts, saying he is a loving son. He has no criminal background. He has never had any real employment. Korroll’s body was found dumped at a concrete plant in Langley City on July 7, 2007. The 50-year-old small-framed woman
showed the suspect vehicle to be a light-coloured Cavalier with a sunroof, roof rack and tire treads showing it had BF Goodrich tires. Homicide investigators narrowed the possibility of that kind of make, model, year of car with those requirements of roof rack and sunroof down to seven in B.C. All seven were examined. Butorac’s was the last Cavalier to be examined. The jury heard about DNA found in his car, in his trunk and on his shoes that matched that of Korroll. Five blows to the head killed Korroll, according to evidence presented tat he two trials.
SHERYL KOR R OLL lived with her elderly parents at the time of her death. The court learned she had been addicted to heroin and crack cocaine for 20 years. Surveillance footage at the concrete plant was seized by police. It

Parked Smart car smashed in hit-and-run A Langley resident woke to find his Smart car smashed and no longer parked where he left it the night before in Murrayville. Now police are looking for more information on the hit-and-run. On March 23, the Smart car owner awoke to find his vehicle had been hit sometime overnight while parked on the street in the 4500 block of 221A Street. The car had been parallel parked, facing north and was found in a driveway, facing south. The back driver side of the vehicle had been smashed and the rear window was shattered. The car owner’s wife heard a loud bang around 2 a.m., but didn’t check out the cause of the noise at that time. Debris found on the street suggests the offending vehicle may have been a Ford Explorer or a Ford Ranger pickup. It is possible the vehicle either had a lift kit or a bush bumper. It may be the vehicle may have been used for off-roading, as there was a significant amount of mud found on the street amidst the debris, said Langley RCMP. If you have information call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

The federal budget, brought down by Finance Minister Joe Oliver on Tuesday, is more of a political document than an economic one. This isn’t surprising, with a federal election planned for this October. The governing Conservatives have made a clear statement of their political philosophy in the document. It contrasts sharply with the campaign platform offered up by the NDP, the Official Opposition. Meanwhile, the Liberals have yet to release their election platform, and were left on Tuesday mouthing platitudes about how the budget “caters to the rich.” Liberal leader Justin Trudeau made it clear that he won’t support the budget, so he obviously disagrees with its contents. The Conservative philosophy, as stated in the budget, calls for a multitude of tax breaks, particularly for families with children and seniors. It continues the emphasis on tax reduction and credits that has been part of virtually every Conservative budget since the party was first elected in 2006. It also continued the trend of making multiyear promises, but not funding some of them for years to come. It is very much in line with the approach taken by the late Jim Flaherty, finance minister from 2006-2014. The Conservatives claim the budget is balanced, but it is only balanced because of a raid on the reserve fund and the sale of General Motors stock. Nonetheless, the party does believe in keeping revenue and spending roughly in balance, and it is clearly not a “big government” party. The NDP, by contrast, have also been clear that their philosophy calls for much more government activity — particularly in the area of child care. Leader Thomas Mulcair has promised that an NDP government would institute $15 per day daycare across Canada, at a cost of about $5 billion. It also would reverse the Conservative plan which would allow spouses to split income for tax purposes. The NDP decries this as a “break for the rich,” and on Tuesday was also critical of an increase to $10,000 in allowable contributions to Tax Free Savings Accounts each year. As voters prepare for plenty of political spin and manipulation over the next few months, (to say nothing of intensive advertising campaigns), a focus on the basic philosophies of each party will be helpful in clearing up the confusion.

Question
of the week
Should the Langley Has Talent contest continue next year, even though organizers are not planning a repeat?
Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
Keep Earth clean they
Wednesday was Earth Day, and as there aren’t really any mainstream traditions that comprise the celebrations, we were free to decide how to mark the occasion. We might get a few million years on this planet, if we’re careful, and each of us gets to live here for 81.25 of those years. It doesn’t seem too much to ask, for us to keep it clean and tidy while we’re here, and wouldn’t it be a good and worthy thing to do to leave it better off than when we arrived? It does seem a daunting task some days, the sort of days when we make messes like this month’s English Bay oil spill, have to scrub ducks with dish soap and recognize that there was a failing somewhere along the way. Are future generations going to see the Strait of Georgia the way we imagine it to be, pristine, wild, beautiful? Or will it be another polluted waterway, like too many around the world, that have become outfalls of human waste and selfishness, where we wouldn’t dream of even dipping our toes. Every day we do see instances of people doing their part to make their environment a better place. For instance, Ontario and Quebec are announcing a new carbon-credit partnership. Carbon credits aren’t a perfect solution, but they have merit, and maybe we can think along those lines as individuals. If we’re not going to stop making single-occupancy commutes in our SUVs, then maybe we can earn a credit some other way, by cleaning a stream or planting a tree or improving our recycling efforts. It is our choice to save the world or not, but there is some responsibility, we think, to leave it in good enough condition so that future generations will have that choice, too. — Nanaimo News Bulletin

Stay calm, slow down Editor: On Saturday, April 18 at 11 a.m. on 48 Avenue at 217A Street, I am signalling to turn left. An older red pickup truck is speeding directly behind me, at about 80 km/h. The 20-something male drove up onto the south sidewalk and new bike lane. He takes out three white pylons and passes me on the right. As I honk as a warning, he looks at me like a deer in the headlights. What’s the hurry? Need to get down to the roundabout straight away? Only to jump on your brakes? Two days before, there was
a three-car pileup in the same area. A few years back, a lovely well-known elderly lady was killed walking east up the north sidewalk on 48 Avenue. There was the same bad attitude and judgment from that driver. Your life is too short. Stay calm and drive with common sense and responsibility. The Township also needs to put bright yellow speed bumps on 48 Avenue. As this area is never monitored by the RCMP, it’s time for safety improvements. KIM STORDY, LANGLEY
Response appreciated Editor: Last Friday, I called Tim Ebata, a B.C. government employee in charge of the gypsy moth spray program.

Helicopters are quite noisy, but this was even worse due to the spray equipment attachments. I didn’t expect much to happen
since it was the weekend, but at 7:45 p.m. he called back. He stated that he had spoken to the pilots, and they were going to see what they could do. On Saturday morning, they were flying higher and quieter. Who says calling Victoria doesn’t always work? It might if you try. And kudos to the helicopter pilots who were willing to try to help.

Road in poor condition Editor: I would like to have someone from the Township go out and examine the road surface remediation done on 86 Avenue, between 204 and 205 Streets. The developer has connected the services for the lots and now has laid a topping of asphalt into the cuts made in the pavement. The new asphalt follows the contour of the cuts in the old road surface, making it very bumpy. This is not how the road was, and I would like it returned to the shape it was in. My taxes from days gone by have paid for this road to be in a condition that it was in — smooth and free from major bumps. When I look around at 84 Avenue in front of the new Yorkson Middle School, Ellis-Don did the
construction work. The road there is still a mess. The 208 Street corridor from 83 Avenue almost to 72 Avenue is also in need of the developers making good on their commitment of returning the road surfaces to what they were, in conjunction with the Township. Bonds should not be redeemed until these concerns have been properly addressed and fixed. We expect to have our roads returned to the conditions that they were in prior to developers coming in and tearing things up. Tax dollars and taxpayers are not happy with the current conditions that we have been left with the past number of years. ROB GAW, LANGLEY

The significant interest in the anti-pipeline rally held on Saturday, April 11 in Fort Langley was noted by organizers, who extend their thanks to individuals and organizations which supported the event. It began with a march from the Kwantlen First Nation lands to Fort Langley Community Hall, where a variety of speakers talked about a series of issues, including land claims and climate change.
Community support for rally is appreciated Editor: We wish to thank the community of Fort Langley for supporting the “This Is Our Home” rally on April 11. As Earth Day this week reminds us, environmental concerns cross all political, cultural, and demographic boundaries. We are united in our need for healthy environmental systems. The hundreds of people of all ages and backgrounds who participated in the march in Fort Langley two weeks ago demonstrated the type of unity we need if we are to stop bitumen pipelines, act on climate, and develop more sustainable communities. Our thanks go to the number of businesses and groups that supported the event including
the Kwantlen Nation, Seyem’ Qwantlen Business Group, PIPE UP Network, Kwantlen Student Association, Kwantlen Public Interest Research Group, Langley RCMP, Fort Langley Community Improvement Society, lelem’ Arts and Cultural Café, Otter Co-op, East Van Graphics, Solidarity Notes Choir, and Veggie Bob’s Growcery Café. There are many more bridges to cross together as a community, before we will see a sustainable future for all of us. We hope that the bridge we crossed on April 11 will be the first of many. ANDHRA AZEVEDO, ‘THIS IS OUR HOME’ RALLY COMMITTEE, FORT LANGLEY

A series of German gas attacks assailed Canadian troops near Ypres in April 1915.
Canadian troops ‘turned adversity into triumph’ FEDERAL MINISTERS ACKNOWLEDGE SACRIFICES MADE DURING THE GREAT WAR “The Second Battle of Ypres marks a pivotal moment in Canadian military history. The bravery and sacrifice shown at Ypres forged the reputation of courageous and capable Canadian soldiers that continues to the present day. “Ypres was a battle of ‘firsts’ for Canadians: it marked the Canadian Expeditionary Force’s first significant engagement of the First World War. Canadians also faced the horror of the first chlorine gas attacks, but they also
turned adversity into triumph at Kitcheners’ Wood which marked Canada’s first victory on European soil. “More than 2,000 Canadians gave their lives and 4,000 were wounded during the first four days of a battle that came to symbolize the shocking loss of life—the terrible cost—of the Great War on a young nation. “Treating the wounded and dying at Ypres inspired Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae to pen the poem In
Flanders Fields which, to this day, urges us to remember this sacrifice and hold the torch of remembrance high. “Today, and every day, we honour those brave Canadians who fought—and died—during the Second Battle of Ypres. “We hold high that torch of remembrance for all who have sacrificed in the struggle for enduring peace and freedom throughout the world.” – Erin O’Toole, Minister of Veterans Affairs, and Jason Kenney, Minister of National Defence.

Will a new Pattullo Bridge and Surrey LRT come despite a No vote? Replacing the Pattullo Bridge is an urgent TransLink priority because the 77-year-old span could be knocked out at any time by an earthquake, river erosion or a ship collision. Pulling it offline before a new bridge opens — eight years away at the earliest — would trigger traffic chaos in the region and force toll-averse drivers to go even further out of their way if they won’t pay to cross the river. The $980-million replacement of the Pattullo with a new four-lane toll bridge, expandable to six lanes, is by far the biggest road-related project in the mayors’ plan. But No forces say it shouldn’t be on the ballot at all – that it’s merely bait to lure drivers to vote Yes in the referendum for an otherwise transit-heavy plan. So will a new Patttullo come even if voters defeat the proposed 0.5 per cent sales tax increase to fund transportation upgrades? TransLink officials said as recently as October they’d aim to rebuild the Pattullo Bridge even if the referendum fails. Other observers also say that’s likely. “The Pattullo bridge probably would go ahead anyway,” said Robin Lindsey, a transportation and logistics professor at UBC’s Sauder School of Business. “The LRT plan in Surrey is less likely, but still far from a dead prospect.” Tolls alone would cover most of the long-term financing cost of the new bridge. But an expected shortfall in toll revenue in the early years means there’s a funding gap to
be plugged — $90 million over the first 10 years or $130 million over 15 years — that the mayors say would be covered through the sales tax hike. It’s unclear where that will be found if there’s a No vote. “I’m not saying it won’t be replaced,” Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said. “But I’m not sure where you get that $90 million of new revenue from because the provincial government’s been very clear that any new revenue has to go through a referendum. “Does the province or the federal government come up with that extra subsidy? Potentially. But there is no local money to do it.” The province has pledged to cost-share a third of the Pattullo construction and rapid transit projects under the plan. The mayors assume that money isn’t certain even under a Yes vote but that it will pay the bridge off faster if it does arrive. TransLink has delayed major maintenance on the existing bridge as much as possible but a No vote will force that work to proceed — $200 million will be spent on band-aid repairs of a bridge that should soon be torn down. A Yes result means those savings instead help fund the replacement. While a new Pattullo is to be user-pay, mayors intend to have a road pricing system in place by the time it opens, so it might not be tolled in the
same way as the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges, but as part of a broader system that Moore says would be more fair. Surrey-area voters also wonder if they’ll get a $2.1-billion light rail network regardless of the referendum outcome because of Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner’s election promise to find a Plan B for LRT, if necessary. Residents are wrong if they think they’ll pay less by voting No, she said. “Plan B does not come free,” Hepner said. “We will be paying for it, make no mistake, one way or another.” The difference, Hepner said, is Surrey alone may have to pay for LRT, without the costs being spread over the rest of the region, without one-third cost-sharing from senior governments and without the new sales tax capturing money from tourists and visitors from outside Metro. “It’s equitable funding from right across the region and from those who are visiting our region,” Hepner said. “A No vote means it will likely come at a very specific cost to Surrey alone.” Private partners might front the project costs but the city would still have to pay them. Hepner won’t say how money would be raised for a light rail Plan B. But Surrey’s new mayor and council so far haven’t hesitated to raise local taxes to keep promises — they immediately imposed a $100-a-home “recreation” levy so the city could hire more police officers.
REFERENDUM BALLOT COUNT AT 21.8 PER CENT Langley Township now has the highest return rate in the Metro Vancouver transit tax referendum, followed by Vancouver and Maple Ridge. Elections BC reported Wednesday 21.8 per cent of eligible ballots — more than 340,000 — have now been received and screened. That return rate stands at 28.4 per cent in Langley Township, 25.1 per cent in Vancouver and 24.8 per cent in Maple Ridge. Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam, North Vancouver District and West Vancouver all had return rates of 20 to 24 per cent. The count as of April 22 consists of ballots that have been through the initial verification process at Elections BC, but doesn’t include about 155,000 others that have been received but not yet opened to check for a signature and birthdate. “It is important to remind voters who have not

yet voted to include both their signature and birthdate in the specified area on their certification envelope,” Chief Electoral Officer Keith Archer said. “Completing this simple step is important to ensure that all plebiscite ballots are counted.” Votes won’t be counted until after the May 29 deadline for them to be returned to Elections BC. Metro voters are being asked to approve or reject an increase in the provincial sales tax in the region from 7.0 to 7.5 per cent. The Congestion Improvement Tax would fund the regional share of transit and transportation upgrades, including a Broadway subway, light rail in Surrey, a new Pattullo Bridge, new B-line express bus routes across the region and a 25 per cent general bus service lift. Anyone who has not yet received a voting package can call Elections BC at 1-800-661-8683 or go to elections.bc.ca/ovr. May 15 is the deadline to request one.

In this workshop, the two will walk through the steps required to downsize and get a home ready for sale. Topics will include: How to save on moving costs by getting rid of excess possessions; How to turn clutter into cash; Resources for donating the stuff you don’t want; How to edit your belongings to show your home for resale to its best advantage; Simple, low-cost techniques to enhance the appearance of your home; How to create great curb appeal; and Utilize what you already have to stage your property for resale.

THE FASTEST GROWING AUTOMOTIVE BRAND IN CANADA
Based on full-line brands, on 12 month, year over year rolling unit sales
The BC Liberal government’s sale of Crown properties to help balance its election budget was the dominant story in the legislature last week, as the NDP revealed evidence of a “fire sale” that may have left millions on the table. They started with Burke Mountain, the biggest single deal involving 14 view properties in Coquitlam. The buyer was a prominent developer whose array of companies happened to donate nearly $1 million to the BC Liberal Party since 2000. The $85 million price tag was similar to the B.C. Assessment Authority value on these forested properties, but an outside appraisal concluded they could have fetched an additional $43 million if they had spent more time on the hot Lower Mainland real estate market. (This sale made headlines last fall for the province’s $8 million buyout of the local First Nation’s undefined territorial claim, when it was revealed the chief of the tiny Kwikwitlem First Nation pocketed an $800,000 commission.) The government’s defence of the sale went from wobbly to weak. Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk was caught flat-footed and tried to get by on platitudes rather than retreat and find some answers. Premier Christy Clark weighed in, arguing that the budget would have balanced without the property sale, and that some sales closed too late to help the election-year budget.

Community Hall Societies Gathering and Book Launch In May 2014, the Township of Langley Heritage Advisory Committee hosted a Hall Societies Workshop for societies operating community halls in the Township. Those who attended discussed their concerns and shared information that would assist with the preparation of a source book to guide future hall volunteers. A desire was expressed by those in attendance to come together again to discuss topics of common interest. The Community Halls Sourcebook is now complete. Its launch is being combined with a talk on insurance from Andrew Janzen, who will provide participants with an overview of things to know and respond to any questions. Those who are members of societies operating community halls in the Township are invited to attend this evening of information sharing, refreshments, and networking, and bring their fellow volunteers. Complimentary copies of the Community Halls Sourcebook will be available to those who attend the event.

A film she shot with people she knows AMY BELLING FOLLOWS UP A PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER WITH A QUIRKY COMEDY B REN D A AN D E R SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
The latest offering from Langley cinematographer and producer Amy Belling was a hit when it was screened in front of a packed house at the Rio last September, during Vancouver International Film Festival. And now, Songs She Wrote About People She Knows is set to return to the West Coast for its theatrical release, with four screenings scheduled at Vancity Theatre from April 25 to 30. Following up on her last project — the psychological thriller, Stress Position — Belling, 34, was more than happy to turn her attention to a quirky comedy like Songs She Wrote. The film, written and directed by Kris Elgstrand, stars Arabella Bushnell as Carol, a repressed woman who finds an outlet for her frustrations when she begins leaving musical messages on people’s voicemail, telling them — through song — what she really thinks of them. After she sings a few bars of A**hole Dave, on her boss’s answering machine, Carol is surprised to learn that the musical outburst has had the unexpected effect of inspiring Dave (Brad Dryborough) to once again pursue his abandoned dream of becoming a rock star. Her newfound honesty, in turn, prompts Carol to begin confronting her own fear of intimacy and to examine her strained relationship with her mother. Elgstrand’s attachment to the project is one of the main reasons that Belling — a graduate of Brookswood Secondary, who earned her masters degree in cinematography at the American

Langley producer and cinematographer, Amy Belling, is promoting her latest feature film, Songs She Wrote About People She Knows. The Brookswood Secondary graduate said the quirky comedy was the perfect follow up to her previous film, the psychologically intense, Stress Position. Songs She Wrote will screen at Vancity Theatre from April 25 to 30. Film Institute — was excited to sign on. “I just think he is totally original in his writing,” she said. The two filmmakers had been friends for a number of years and were keeping an eye out for an opportunity to work together. “I was available and back in Vancouver, looking for my next project,” explained Belling. The arrival of the script in March, 2014, satisfied both her
desire to work with Elgstrand and to produce a comedy. “I read it and laughed out loud.” Working on Stress Position had been both mentally and emotionally taxing, Belling said, so it was a great feeling to have the cast and crew laughing at the end of rehearsal or the end of a take. Filming took place mainly in Vancouver, but crews also ducked across the border to shoot in California for a day and a half.

The movie’s heavily saturated colour gives the images a decades-old vibe, but the real secret to the vintage look, said Belling, is that the filmmakers turned to old technology. “It was shot on film — super 16. The grainy texture and the quality of the image is a result of that,” she said. When it came to his music, Dave’s character was an analogue guy, through and through.
Thematically, it just made sense to follow the character’s lead and shoot on film, said the cinematographer. That was easier said than done. The ’70s-set motion picture, American Hustle, had apparently exhausted Fuji’s super 16-mm stock, said Belling, so they had Kodak film shipped out from Toronto instead. Once the scenes had been shot, getting the film processed was another headache. Because they were shooting a small piece of the feature in California, the production team decided to send the film to a lab in Los Angeles. The canisters had to be driven across the border every few days and mailed from Washington state, because they couldn’t risk having the film put through an X-ray machine. One result of that onerous process was that Belling didn’t get to see any of her footage until day 10 of an 11-day shoot. “We had days of shooting, with everyone trusting me, because they didn’t know what the frame looked like.” As the deadline for submissions to TIFF approached, the processed film had not all been returned from the lab, so the movie was pitched to Toronto with four days of shooting still missing from the package and notes about what it would look like once it was complete. Happily, the risk paid off. “Generally speaking, looking back it’s a choice we would still have made,” Belling said of the decision to go with film over digital.

screenings in Dallas, Nashville and another coming up in Lima, Peru. “I was so excited to be at TIFF with a feature, as opposed to a short film,” said Belling. “(The Toronto festival) is so highly regarded, so well-organized. It’s a great launching pad for your film.” The success of Songs She Wrote on the film festival circuit is just one more reason for Belling to be proud of the project. “At the end of the day, it’s an entertaining film,” she said. And, she’s learning, it has had a definite impact on its audiences. “People like Carol, who are afraid of self expression are inspired to be more expressive.” And the character Dave serves as an inspiration for others to follow their dreams and not get stuck behind a desk, she said. “It’s funny — sarcastic and witty. It’s nice to be part of a film that gets laughs.” ••• All four showings Songs She Wrote About People She Knows will be at Vancity Theatre, 1181 Seymour St. Each screening will feature a special event. • Saturday, April 25, 8:15 p.m., followed by a cabaret and open mic • Monday, April 27 at 8 p.m. with a musical performance, • Wednesday, April 29 at 1 p.m. with a Women in Film panel • Thursday, April 30 at 6:30 p.m. followed by a Q&A.

Balancing budget took precedence for BC Liberals From Page 13
Finance Minister Mike de Jong stressed that all these asset sales were detailed in three successive budgets. They downplayed the notion of land sales being rushed. Then the NDP produced a string BC of emails sent between senior officials responsible for selling two big properties across the street Tom Fletcher from the legislature. “To be part of the sale and development of over eight acres of Victoria’s beautiful inner harbour area is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. An opportunity that normally would warrant years of planning and preparation,” wrote one citizens’ services bureaucrat. “Unfortunately we don’t have unlimited time – our goal is to have For Sale signs up by Oct. 31 with sales proceeds in the bank by March 31, 2013.” Then came a disclosure about a property in Surrey that had been bought as a potential hospital site. Once the existing hospital was expanded, that property was declared surplus. Indeed, de Jong featured this property to promote the government’s plan to stimulate local economies with private sector investment on unused land. The Surrey deal closed for $20.5 million on March 21, 2014, just days before the end of the fiscal year. NDP leader John Horgan pointed to an outside appraisal of $23.5 million, and an assessment for tax purposes of $27.2 million. The appraiser also recommended that the “highest and best use” for the Surrey land was to hold it until had been rezoned for commercial, retail or office development. De Jong cited another big health property in Vancouver that sold for more than its appraised and assessed value. It’s only the actual market that determines worth, he insisted. But it’s now clear that these and perhaps other sales were done with arbitrary deadlines that had everything to do with the BC Liberals’ need to balance the books. When elections are a battle of sound bites, perception matters more than reality. It’s also worth recalling that the budget deficits prior to the 2013 election were largely a result of the B.C. government’s costly undoing of the harmonized sales tax, rather than the harsh forces of international finance. Surplus asset sales have a long tradition in B.C., where the government owns more than 90 per cent of all land. But after this round, full disclosure will be demanded.

Fort couple invent hot new product PAIR ARE THE CREATORS OF THE HOGA MAT SYSTEM, PERFECT FOR HOT YOGA MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r
Very few of us get that ‘eureka’ moment, where we come up with an idea for a product that hasn’t been invented yet. Fewer of us act on that idea and actually make the product we believed in. But for Fort Langley couple Lou Fasullo and Nicole St. Jacques, the pair have become inventors and now business partners and manufacturers of the Hoga mat system. The Hoga mat is a eco-friendly yoga mat and soft microfibre towel which is fastened together with nickel-plated, rust-free snaps and ideal for use in hot yoga. “We are both runners and my favourite run is through McMillan Island. But when the tide (was) out I got stuck in the mud and tore my meniscus and had to have surgery,” said Fasullo. After surgery, his doctor suggested he try yoga. St. Jacques suggested that he try hot yoga at Oxygen Yoga in Walnut Grove. “So I did what everybody does, and I went and bought a cheap yoga mat. Within five minutes I was sweating and sliding all over the place,” he said. “I brought a beach towel so I put that down, but it started bunching. I was holding a pose and had no grip. “I thought I was going to re-injure myself.” Then came his epiphany. “There had got to be a better way,” Fasullo said to himself. Along with his wife, Fasullo started to research whether there were non-slip yoga mats with towels attached. “There was nothing out there from what we could see that combined a towel with a yoga mat,” said St. Jacques. So they quickly moved into action.
They searched and searched, finding the best rubber yoga mat that doesn’t allow bacteria. Then they found the microfibre towels that can hold lots of moisture without feeling damp. They can hold a litre of sweat. They are machine washable and stay super soft, allowing for chins, hands, knees and elbows to hold poses on a soft surface. Then came the rust-free snaps, which had to be shipped from the U.S. in boxes of 100,000. They decided to make the mats themselves, buying a 600 pound re-furbished fabric machine from former fabric factories since closed in Quebec. They invented their own yoga mat press and how to insert the snaps and voila — they have their own Hoga mat factory in their detached garage. “We really wanted to keep everything as local as possible,” said Fasullo. They launched their product earlier this year and have never looked back. “The support and response has been amazing,” said Fasullo. Reaching out through social media was a huge learning curve for them, but well worth it. “A yoga blogger in Chicago asked if she could try our product. She gave it a great review and that has given us amazing reach,” said St. Jacques. They’ve had sales from as far as Texas and California to as far as New Zealand. “It’s been so exciting. We love helping people achieve their fitness goals by eliminating that distraction of slipping or fixing your towel,” said St. Jacques. “You can lose 20 per cent of your class fixing your towel.” The feedback from people who have purchased their product has kept them going. “That makes all of this so satis-

Fort Langley’s Lou Fasullo and Nicole St. Jacques have created the Hoga mat system, an eco-friendly yoga mat and soft microfibre towel, which is fastened together and perfect to use in hot yoga. The microfibre towels (below right) can hold a litre of sweat — unlike other towels — so people are not slipping on sweaty surfaces during yoga. The mats are manufactured out of their home’s garage. fying,” they said. Local yoga instructors have been trying the Hoga mat out too, and have provided great support for it. “Many people have been asking them ‘where can I get your mat?’ So a lot has been through word of mouth too,” said St. Jacques. “Sometimes I will be in a class and I will see someone struggling with their towel and I feel like telling them, you should try our Hoga mat.” They have a patent pending in both the U.S. and Canada and have incorporated their company. The Hoga mat system comes with the mat and towel, with various colours to choose from. The cost is $162. The price may sound high to

It may not have the cache of other causes out there, but it hits close to home for the staff and management at Langley Milestones. “I think autism is one of those causes out there that with so many different places to put your support, it is not one of the ones that I guess is considered one of the big causes,” said general manager Rick Hilliard. “That is all the more reason we rally behind it — it affects so many people out there.” The restaurant will host their fourth annual Milestones Autism Awareness Night on Tuesday (April 28) with the servers donating their tips and the restaurant donating 10 per cent of their sales. The restaurant is at 20075 Langley Bypass. There will also be a silent auction and live entertainment, featuring an acoustic band and one of the Milestones staff members, Kari Culjat — the 2013 Langley Has Talent winner — performing. Central City Brewing — which brews a special Autism IPA for the month of April — has donated a cask of the beer and all proceeds from that will also go to the cause. And the restaurant’s chef has created some tasty canapés for guests to sample. In the first three years, more than $16,000 has been raised for the B.C. Autism Society. “Four years ago, the manage-

QUARTERLY REPORT
Dominion Lending Centres Chief Economist Says US Style Housing Crash Unlikely in Canada Responding to recent news reports about the IMF warning of an overheated Canadian housing market, the Chief Economist for Dominion Lending Centres, Sherry Cooper, says the prospect of a soft landing is good news for homeowners, “there is no doubt that letting some steam out of the boiling markets is a good thing because were prices to rise rapidly for too long, a nasty correction would be likely.”
Bank of Canada Remains On Hold With Hopes of Economic Rebound the January MPR); however, the second quarter is expected to see a rebound to 1.8 percent growth, revised up from earlier expectation. The Bank continues to assert that, “Underneath the effects of the oil price shock, the natural sequence of stronger nonenergy exports, increasing investment, and improving labour markets is progressing.” This will be aided by an improvement in the U.S. economy and the easing in financial Dr. Sherry Cooper conditions.
As was widely expected, on Wednesday April 15, 2015 The Bank of Canada announced that it is maintaining its target for the overnight rate at 3/4 per cent. The Bank Rate is correspondingly 1 per cent and the deposit rate is 1/2 per cent. Core inflation, at 2 percent, is a reflection of the dampening effects of a slowing economy offset by the pass through effects of the lower dollar.
The Bank is hopeful that global growth will strengthen in coming months to 3-1/2 percent— Chief Economist for Dominion Lending Centres There remains consistent with their a good deal of forecast in January’s uncertainty in this sequence: Monetary Policy Report (MPR)— While March employment in as a direct result of central bank Canada improved substantially, rate cuts and quantitative easing business investment remains in Europe. Lower commodity disappointing, manufacturing prices will boost growth in some is weak—especially in the auto countries. The Bank also believes sector—and the improvement that strong growth will resume in trade has been less than in the United States after a weak expected. first quarter, which, of course, has yet to be confirmed. Real GDP growth is projected to rebound in the second quarter First quarter growth in Canada and subsequently strengthen to has been revised downward to average about 2 1/2 per cent on 0.0 percent in the April MPR a quarterly basis until the middle (from 1.5 percent growth in
of 2016. The Bank expects real GDP growth of 1.9 per cent in 2015, 2.5 per cent in 2016, and 2.0 per cent in 2017. The Bank also believes the risks to the outlook are balanced, an upgrade since the last policy meeting in March. As a result of this view, they judge that the current degree of monetary stimulus is appropriate and have left rates unchanged. I am cautiously optimistic that the Bank has got it right, but I continue to believe that the risks are on the downside for the economy and inflation. My forecast for Canadian growth this year is 1.5 percent--below the Bank’s 1.9 percent forecast. Much hinges on the U.S. economy. The April MPR revised down its U.S. growth forecast for this year from 3.2 percent to 2.7 percent.

Cooper, one of North America’s most respected economic experts, points out that existing home sales were down 2 percent year-over-year in January, but were still up moderately outside of Alberta. Later data suggests that in February, sales rose month-over-month as gains in Toronto and Vancouver offset faltering markets in other parts of the country. More recently, Sales of existing homes in Canada rose in March from February, led by gains in the big Toronto and Vancouver markets. Sales were even up in Calgary where sales had slowed in recent months in the wake of the oil price decline. “With home ownership at a record high of 70 percent of households and interest rates at record lows, national sales growth will stabilize at a modest pace,” says Cooper. “However, steady demand from immigrants and non-resident purchasers in Toronto and Vancouver should continue to support housing markets. In addition, Millennials are in their first-time home-buying years. While many might be priced out of the singlefamily home market, many will take the plunge into condos.” On the supply side, housing starts and completions are down and are now trending slightly above household formation rates. Taking replacement demand into consideration, the current pace of overall home construction is at appropriate levels to meet long-run demand. We have also seen evidence of a recent increase in dedicated rental housing construction as institutional investors are providing increased funding in this long-overlooked area of the housing market. Condos have effectively replaced traditional apartment units and are an affordable alternative for those who are priced out of Toronto’s detached housing market. Rental vacancy rates remain at extreme lows in Vancouver and Toronto. Cooper says the bottom line is that there is little evidence of an upcoming U.S.-style housing crash anywhere in Canada, even in the hardest hit energy-centered markets.

Tyszka ready to soar with Seattle Thunderbirds GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts
Seattle is the next stop for Langley’s Jarret Tyszka. The 16-year-old inked a Western Hockey League standard player agreement last week. “I can’t wait to get started,” he said. “I watched a few regular season games and I came down for the playoff practices. It was a very high level of play with good speed on the ice.” Tyszka was a first round pick (16th overall) of the T-Birds in last May’s WHL bantam draft. He had thought about going the junior A and college route but decided the WHL offered the best chance to develop. “Jarret has the potential to be a top player in our league and, with
his skills and skating, can contribute offensively and has the size to play solid defence,” said Seattle general manager Russ Farewell, on the team’s website. “He had a good season and has added both size and strength over the year. “He will be a fun player to watch develop as a Thunderbird.” Tyszka played through the ranks of Langley Minor Hockey Association and joined the Yale Hockey Academy in Abbotsford this past year. “He is a defensive defenceman but has offensive upside,” said Yale coach Brad Bowen. “He gets up the ice real well.” Tyszka is six-foot-one and 175 pounds and Bowen says while the d-man is not overly physical right

now, he anticipates that becoming part of his game, adding that Tyszka does have a mean streak on the ice. Tyszka also likes the fact that Seattle is just a few hours from home and offers a good chance to crack the line-up with the graduation of one defenceman, and another — Aldergrove’s Shea Theodore — likely to play pro in the Anaheim Ducks organization. Tyszka will spend the summer training locally with Impact Hockey. “Work on getting stronger and getting ready for the speed and trying to make the team,” he said. If he doesn’t stick with Seattle next season, he will try to land a spot in the BCHL or else return to Yale.

MINI is bringing a completely new meaning to driving glasses.

This prototype with its customised, interactive functions succeeds in fusing augmented reality with the brand’s trademark sense of lifestyle.” Using see-through technology, the eyewear projects information in the driver’s direct field of view without concealing
other traffic. “We are proud to have helped develop a breakthrough augmented reality interface between eyewear by Keith Morgan and the automobile,” said Jay Wright, Vice President, Qualcomm Connected Experiences, Inc. “MINI Augmented Vision offers a compelling example of what’s possible today, and what we can expect in the future.” The technology will enable drivers to enter destination details outside of the car then transfer the information to the onboard navigation. The navigation will then display from the current location to the vehicle or from the vehicle to the final destination. Direction instructions in the shape of coloured arrows will appear projected on the road ahead at the turns. Current speed and posted speed limits will be projected into the driver’s field of view above the steering wheel, without obscuring the road ahead. A small icon shows in the eyewear when a message is received and the SMS/message can then be read out by the “car”. Now this is an amazing feature: A virtual view through parts of the vehicle (such as A-pillars and doors) makes visible external areas or objects concealed by the car’s body parts! keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Xtra large Fiat 500 has style
by Alexandra Straub
Beverly Hills, Ca – Winding down an exceptionally sinuous road near Malibu in Southern California, I can’t help but think to myself, “Wow, FIAT was pretty brazen in putting their new, small crossover on such technical roads.” Switchback after switchback, the turns just keep coming at me. The road was narrow; barely accommodating another motorist, who decided to ascend such a route, so you need to be at the top of your game. So does the vehicle. But as I weave the all-new 500X through these bends and twists that move faster than a slithering snake ready to pounce on its prey, I also think this vehicle is doing really well. Steering is weighted to give the driver good feedback. There’s also a Sport mode that can be accessed through the Dynamic Selector system (depending on the trim opted for), to give you a little more oomph in those kinds of conditions. For situations where you want more traction, there’s a Traction + mode, too. Talking of trim selection, there are five to choose from. The entry-level Pop has an MSRP of $21,495. Then there’s the Sport, which jumps to $25,995, the Trekking at $26,995, the Lounge for $29,990 and the Trekking Plus for $30,490. Then you can choose between two engines. The first is a 1.4L, turbocharged, MultiAir that has
160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. The optional of the two engines is the 2.4L, Tigershark (love that name) MultiAir with 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. The 6-speed manual transmission only comes with the 1.4L engine and the front-wheel drive configuration. Meaning, if you opt for the bigger 2.4L, than you’re going to get a 9-speed automatic. However, you can get the 2.4L engine either with front or all-wheel drive. Another set of choices for you. Fun fact, it’s the first FIAT to be designed globally and the first FIAT to have AWD. Here are even more numbers for you! – There are eight wheel choices, 12 exterior hues, and five interior colours. I had the opportunity to try both engines in the 500X. The 2.4L definitely feels better suited to the size of vehicle. The X accommodates up to five passengers and offers 524L of cargo room behind the second row seats. Legroom in the back is decent, especially for its small crossover designation. The 1.4L with the manual isn’t bad, but you can feel the engine working overtime to get up steeper inclines. Though I still love it because it’s a manual! The drawback, some might encounter, with the 9-speed auto is that there are many gears it has to choose from, so it likes to shift. To placate that characteristic, simply put it in Sport mode. It makes a big difference. The exterior styling – whether you’re a fan or not – gives this vehicle character. Its interior is also another strong
point. Furthermore, you have the ability to hook the X up with the brand’s Uconnect system and a 165mm (6.5-inch) screen. A pet peeve of mine on previous FIAT’s was the volume button. A knob has now replaced that. Thank goodness! It wasn’t necessarily a deal breaker for me, but more of a nuisance. The ride remained comfortable throughout the various environments we drove through, whether on the twisty roads or cruising along at highway speeds. Additionally, the cabin remains quiet from outside noises, so carrying on a conversation even while accelerating up a hill wasn’t bothersome.
Those in the market that are looking for a small crossover that has style and swagger now have the 2016 FIAT 500X to look at. alexandra.straub@ drivewaybc.ca

He leaves behind his daughter Marny Zischka and her husband Pete; sister Doris Morton; nephews and their families and friends from all over this world; his partner Susanna Hobbs and his beloved horse, mule and dogs. He was Hank, the Horse shoer but first and foremost he was a horseman. Horses were his passion. His lifestyle and career choices all reflected this. He lent a hand to anyone who needed help and wanted to learn. He was a master farrier and taught the farrier program at the College of Polytechnic Universities in California the Kwantlen University in Langley and shod horses for 65 years. An honoured member of the Canadian and American Farriers Associations and inducted into the International Horse Shoeing Hall of Fame in 2003. Recently he retired but was still very active.
