Cranberry craze Thousands attend annual Fort Langley festival DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

DAN FER GUS ON L an gley Tim es

Volunteers measure out berries for sale at the annual Cranberry festival on Saturday in Fort Langley.

The 20th annual Cranberry festival drew large crowds Saturday.

The fact that a severe rain storm for the region failed to materialize may have contributed to a larger-than-usual turnout, going by the size of the crowds in downtown Fort Langley and the length of the hike many people had to get there from available parking spots.

Organizers did not have exact numbers, but noted the number of vendors was up 30 per cent from previous years.

The number of visitors who attended previous Cranberry Festivals has been estimated at approximately 60,000 people.

The event is held each year on the Saturday of the Thanksgiving weekend to celebrate the harvest and history of the cranberry in Fort Langley.

Capacity crowd for final all-candidates forum More than 200 people turned out for a Chamber-sponsored debate inside the Fraser River Presentation Theatre M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

From legalizing marijuana and the controversial Senate, to Bill C-51 and pipelines, federal candidates in the Langley-Aldergrove riding engaged in a rousing debate on a range of topics Thursday night at Township hall.

The Fraser River Presentation Theatre was above its capacity of 200 people, with dozens standing to hear what the candidates — Conservative Mark Warawa, Libertarian Lauren Southern, NDP Margo Sangster, Liberal Leon Jensen and Green Party Simmi Dhillon — had to say ahead of the

Oct. 19 federal election.

Written questions from the audience came in by the dozen, with many not able to be addressed in the allotted two hours.

While the economy has been a dominant election issue, it didn’t come up directly in Thursday’s debates. Among the topics that were addressed: • Cross Border Shopping Moderator Scott Johnson, president of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce — organizers of the all-candidate meeting — asked if any candidates would agree to implement same-day duty at the border to discourage Canadians from

shopping across the border.

None of the candidates thought sameday duty would be a good idea.

“But a recent trip to the Aldergrove border showed that staffing there is low, so we would like to increase staffing there,” said Sangster.

Jensen remarked that same-day duty would create even worse lineups than already exist.

Warawa, whose government has paid for improving the Aldergrove crossing, said the reduction of tariffs to come through the new 12-country Trans-Pacific Partnership will reduce prices for Canadians, keeping them shopping at home.

Dhillon disagreed.

“With the TPP in play, Langley’s poultry, berry and dairy farmers are losing out. We

need to do more to protect them,” she said.

• Kinder Morgan Pipeline Sangster noted several ways she believes the pipeline process has been flawed so far: “The environment assessment process has been gutted. The National Energy Board hasn’t allowed cross-examination and there has been no meaningful First Nations input into the pipeline,” she said.

Jensen said the NEB “needs more teeth.”

Dhillon said the Green Party feels citizens haven’t been consulted, the NEB isn’t going to listen and one of the biggest protests against the pipeline was held in Langley, organized by Kwantlen First Nation, who are going to be deeply impacted and yet haven’t been consulted.

Seniors issues front and centre at debate

Putting Her Foot Down

KURT LANGMANN Black Press

More than 130 people filled the Aldergrove Legion Hall on Oct. 5, to hear the Langley-Aldergrove federal election candidates speak.

Candidates from the NDP, Greens and Liberals were questioned primarily on senior citizen issues, although the Libertarian and Conservative candidates were absent from the event.

The meeting was co-hosted by a number of local seniors’ organizations, and moderated by retired Langley Times editor Frank Bucholtz.

Incumbent Conservative candidate Mark Warawa was unable to attend due to other commitments, according to Bucholtz, but there was no explanation for Libertarian Lauren Southern’s absence.

Liberal hopeful Leon Jensen opened the proceedings by stating that, “The present government has not been honest and Canada’s international reputation is not what it used to be.”

Noting that he had recently retired after 40 years service with the military, Jensen said, “Justin Trudeau is just what we need.”

“Langley is where I chose to raise a family nine years ago,” said Green hopeful Simmi Dhillon.

And while she had seen many changes in that time here she hoped to see the community grow in a positive fashion.

NDP hopeful Margot Sangster described herself as an “advocate for seniors to stay in their

homes as long as possible” and for providing long-term care services when that time of life comes.

All three candidates pledged to reinstate 65 as the age of retirement for full pension benefits and to expand the Canada Pension Plan to help the more than 11,700 seniors in Langley, who on average live on $24,000 a year in pensions.

Housing and health care were among the most important issues cited by those who stepped up to the microphone to question the candidates.

Dhillon said the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation “needs to do more, provide access to grants, and the local community, builders need to contribute more to infrastructure and adaptable housing.”

Noting that too many people are priced out of home ownership, Jensen said a Liberal government would provide $125 million in tax incentives to finance construction of new housing.

“Canada needs a bill asserting housing as a right,” asserted Sangster, promising that an NDP government would provide $2 billion for housing co-ops by 2020.

All three agreed that Canada needs a new health care strategy to replace the Romanow Commission’s Health Accord, which expired in 2014.

CPP, medical marijuana on voters’ minds

From Page 1

“It is inappropriate to prejudge a project. We want to give a two-year time limit for an assessment, otherwise these assessments drag on for years and people make jobs out of keeping the [assessments] going without decision,” said Warawa.

He pointed to Fish Lake, which got approval but was turned down by the government.

Southern said property owners would have full rights of everything below and above their land.

• Legalizing marijuana: “We are spending billions and losing the battle,” said Jensen.

“Let’s figure out how to take the

profits away from the criminals.

Let’s study what is working in Colorado and Washington and use best practices and legalize it.”

Under a Conservative government, pot will never be legalized or even decriminalized, said Warawa.

Medical pot can be prescribed by a doctor, he said.

But Warawa acknowledged that the medical pot growing industry has become criminalized to a degree, which has created problems.

Sangster, who has a background

in public health and addictions, has some reservations about legalizing pot.

“I’ve seen the negative effects marijuana can have on young people,” she said.

Southern said gang violence is the result of prohibition.

Dhillon said the Greens would legalize it and that she would like to see hemp grown in the floodplains in Aldergrove.

• Toeing the Party Line Discussions got heated when candidates were asked if they would ever vote against their

party to follow his or her constituents’ wishes?

Warawa was greeted with laughter and boos when he responded, “The Conservative party is the only party who encourage free votes.”

Dhillon pointed to the muzzling of ministers and scientists by the PM. “There is a mass exodus of prominent ministers to running again. The Conservative party is the biggest micro-manager,” said Dhillon.

“Justin [Trudeau] will reduce the power of the PM,” said Jensen.

• Canada Pension Plan Only the Conservative Party

would keep CPP eligibility at 67.

“CPP started in 1965 . . . we live longer and are healthier, so the age was raised because we live longer,” said Warawa. The next review is scheduled to take place in 2016.

The Green Party would return CPP eligibility to 65, but also create a national seniors strategy, said Dhillon.

“Restore it to 65 and enhance it,” said Jensen.

The NDP would restore it to 65 with additional funding for home care, funding beds for seniors, said Sangster.

First Nations, school district sign Aboriginal education agreement MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

In front of community leaders, First Nation chiefs and elders as well as Langley school district staff and trustees, the Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement was signed last Thursday inside the new Kwantlen Cultural Centre.

Langley School District’s agreement was the 111th to be signed in B.C. According to Kwantlen First Nation members Donna Robins, who is also a Langley teacher, and Cheryl Gabriel, the new agreement is “awesome,” but also one “not to be taken lightly.”

The sisters were part of an Aboriginal advisory board, which spent more than a year working to create an agreement — a call to action designed to meet the educational needs of Aboriginal students.

The pair spoke to the Langley board of education at the Sept.

29 meeting inviting them to attend the historic signing.

In Langley, there are 1,850 Aboriginal students.

Michael Morgan, District Principal of Aboriginal Education, credits the dedication of the Aboriginal community and the advisory board for putting together an agreement the whole community can be proud of.

“We have received a tremen-

Next we must turn those beautiful words into meaningful actions for our students.”

An EA is a working agreement between a school district, all

local Aboriginal communities, and the Ministry of Education, designed to enhance the educational achievement of Aboriginal students. The previous five-year agreement had expired in Langley.

This is the first year that Aboriginal culture and history will be part of the curriculum across the province.

Pipeline company disputes municipalities’ costs claim

DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

The company that wants to expand the Trans Mountain pipeline through Metro Vancouver is disputing a report that says the project will mean more than $93 million in extra costs for taxpayers in Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam, Abbotsford and Burnaby.

A Sept. 17 letter from Kinder Morgan Land Lead Carey Johannesson to Langley Township mayor and council says the added costs will be more than outweighed by property tax revenue.

Johannesson was responding to a study by Associated Engineering, funded by the five municipalities, that put the added cost of building municipal infrastructure around the new pipeline at more than $93 million over 50 years.

That includes installing new and replacement “buried utilities,” such as water pipes, sanitary and storm sewers as well as roads, ditches and creeks in areas where the pipeline runs.

The study says Coquitlam would have the biggest bill — $28.5 million — followed by Burnaby with $17.6 million, Surrey with $17.1 million, Abbotsford at $17 million and the Township of Langley at $12.8 million.

The Kinder Morgan letter says tax revenues from the existing pipeline through the communities will “more than double” once the expansion project is completed, totaling $950 million over the same period.

Johannesson also challenged the

$93 million estimate, saying Associated Engineering “incorporated contingencies of 40 per cent above costs, and ignored mitigation measures.

“However, conservatively assuming the likely overstated $93 million costs were appropriate, the municipalities would have a net financial benefit from the project of more than $850 million, based on property tax alone.”

But Coquitlam will likely end up in the red, Johannesson conceded. “ … projected taxes may not fully cover projected direct municipal increased costs as a result of the proposed project (in Coquitlam).”

The Johannesson letter appears to rule out financial compensation for Coquitlam, saying that often, “because of municipal boundaries, a utility project will produce property tax greater than direct costs and sometimes it will produce property tax less than incremental costs.”

“The principals (sic) of fairness suggest Trans Mountain should not be treated differently than other utilities and linear infrastructure within the municipality.”

The letter states the company is willing to work with Coquitlam and other municipalities and take other steps to reduce the impact of the line.

If a municipality still believes “it is in a situation of net loss” after all that, the company “would be pleased to meet and discuss outstanding concerns or costs” Johannesson said.

Health Matters

There has been controversy in recent years about the benefit of mammography in catching breast cancer and reducing its mortality rate.

However, an update from the International Agency for Research on Cancer has recently concluded that regular screening mammography for women 50-69 reduces mortality from breast cancer by 40 per cent.

These results did not extend to younger age groups, a factor that possibly confounded previous data analysis.

The more tools we have for detecting cancers, the better. A new test being developed, called the Polygenic Risk Score (PRS), is improving the accurate prediction of breast cancer, when considered alongside family history and breast density information. PRS looks at genetic information, based on 76 nucleotides which account for up to 14% of breast cancers, and could improve prevention measures and assist in targeting chemotherapy.

There appears to be some difference in breast cancer survival rate based on ethnicity – that cannot be explained by socio-economic circumstances such as access to care. A database was examined which

In the Driver’s Seat

revealed Japanese women had the highest survival rate, followed by Caucasian, South Asian, and then black women.

Recognizing this variation might help to focus on intrinsic BOB SANGHA biologic differences – allowing Pharmacist, BSc for tailored treatment choices in the future.

Even more evidence that lifestyle choices can benefit health has been confirmed by two American studies, recently published. One found that increasing plantbased foods, reducing alcohol and maintaining a healthy weight improved cancer risk by up to 71%, depending on cancer type. The second also noted that healthy body weight maintenance, in conjunction with exercise, reduced some cancers by up to 65%. The research is quite compelling.

Research is leading to cancer prevention strategies, improving cancer detection and better targeting treatments. As a result, many are living cancer-free and beating the old odds. “Cancer can be beaten!”

Pay parking at hospitals is here to stay, says FHA chair MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Pay parking at hospitals is here to stay, according to the Fraser Health board.

Board chair Karen Matty was quick to dismiss any hopes that parking at hospitals could one day be free.

“We would love to provide free parking but to be clear we will never have free parking,” said Matty at the last public Fraser Health board meeting held

in Langley on Sept. 24.

She was responding to a senior’s complaint that pay parking at hospitals penalizes those who are already vulnerable, often seniors or those arriving in medical distress.

“The fees we collect for parking go towards maintaining the lots, for snow removal and lighting, etc.,” said Matty.

“We encourage people to carpool to hospitals or arrange drop-off,” she said.

Anyone who has driven on B.C. roads for any length of time has been there — a vehicle races past you at speeds well above the posted limit and then immediately cuts you off with a dangerous lane change.

Then there are the drivers who’ll race through a stale yellow light, rather than wait two minutes for the next green, or the ones who jump the green to get in a left turn before oncoming traffic has a chance to move.

There is no shortage of aggressive drivers on our roads.

As much as we all know it’s illegal and incredibly dangerous, it’s behaviour we’ve all come to expect and, to some degree, accept.

We might sigh, and ease our foot off the accelerator a little bit, just to give the aggressor a chance to move a bit farther along and minimize our own risk of getting caught up in any carnage they might generate.

But it’s so common, it barely raises an eyebrow.

What is still a little surprising, though, (at least it should be) is the percentage of vehicles that go blasting by with a green ’N’ affixed to the back window or bumper.

The ’N’ stands, of course, for new (the sticker’s colour is symbolic in its own right). That’s new as in, inexperienced, unpractised, unskilled, amateur.

Despite that lack of experience, there’s a blind confidence and sense of indestructibility that seems to come with being young. Granted, not every new driver is a young driver, but it’s a fair assumption that the vast majority aren’t too far removed from their 16th birthday.

Regardless, on roads as busy as the ones Lower Mainlanders drive every day — roads that handle everything from cyclists to semis — there is a whole lot going on for even the most experienced driver to take in.

It’s too soon to know what led to the fatal Oct. 7 crash in Surrey that killed a young man as he sat waiting for a bus.

We do know the vehicle left the road, jumped the curb and pinned the 22-year-old to the bus bench.

And we know the vehicle had a green ’N’ in its back window. Its driver, just 17.

Regardless of whether the cause was speed, distraction, road conditions, vehicle malfunction or some combination, we also know that it was entirely avoidable.

Whether it’s slowing down, paying closer attention or ensuring a vehicle is properly maintained, we all have a responsibility to ensure that our actions don’t put others in harm’s way — either deliberately or with callous disregard.

Almost immediately after the Surrey crash, the victim’s family spoke publicly, urging all drivers — not just new ones — to slow down just a little and to pay closer attention to everything that is going on around them.

Under the circumstances, it’s not a lot to ask.

Building consensus they

Consensus building in B.C. is a difficult proposition. Not quite an exercise in futility, but close.

The diversity of this province—geography and people—is never more evident than at the annual UBCM conference. To a city councillor from Williams Lake, Vancouver politicians must sound like they are speaking an unfamiliar language when they talk about homelessness. While this kind of diversity makes us a unique and enviable province, it also presents problems for those we send to Victoria as MLAs. It poses problems for political parties, too. The NDP, for example, has a long history of support from trade unions.

But the NDP all has a strong green element who do not support mega-projects.

The BC Liberals have different challenges, but with a similar theme of geographical/philosophical diversity.

What is an MLA to do? The easy answer is to keep tabs on what is being said in your constituency and vote accordingly. But that’s not easy given our party system. There is no simple answer. Perhaps it is just a matter of holding on for a bumpy ride.

But we should never lose sight of the fact that this diversity makes us a great place more than it drives us apart.

Decide what matters and vote, but spare us the hate Editor: I have very diversified friends and acquaintances in my life — Christians, atheists, Muslims, Conservatives, NDP, Liberal, western Canadians, eastern Canadians, Americans, pro-choice, pro-life, marijuana users, clean living, gay, straight, single, married.

And I love them all despite our differences.

In these past two months of federal campaigning, I’ve noticed a very interesting trend. It is only the anti-Conservatives who talk or post anything political, and 8/10 times it uses hateful language, is demonizing and borderlines on extremism.

I understand that it comes from a place of wanting change, but really, I think it comes more from

mob hysteria than anything else.

It’s no secret that I am a politically active person.

I’m a proud federal Conservative, provincial Liberal and supporter of most members of our current Township of Langley council.

I dislike the politics of Trudeau and Mulcair, as do most Conservatives.

However, just because I dislike their politics it does not mean I hate the person, nor do I need to spew hate to prove my inclination of being opposed to their views.

It also does not mean I like every piece of politic that Harper believes, just because I am Conservative.

As an educated voter, I’ve

weighed the policies of the key issues that affect my daily life.

As a single mother who independently financially supports her family, has a mortgage, kids in activities and in an independent school, I live pretty lean.

Finances are a daily fine balancing act, and one hiccup can upset my apple cart.

Economy and stability are my key daily issues. In fact, my decision to vote is based on that issue alone.

Immigration issues, marijuana legalization and other issues, although important, do not affect my life as much as the economy does.

Healthcare, social program funding and other issues, although important, do not affect

my life as much as the economy does. But that does not mean I do not care about those issues, nor does it mean I necessarily agree with the Conservative policies on those issues.

But what it does mean, by voting for a party that does not necessarily fully align with my view in all matters, is that I have made the best of a democratic process and voted anyways.

Stop your “Woe are the Canadians, with the messed up political system” mentality.

Go to a Third World country and say that to the people who have death as the consequence for political protest.

Drop your Utopian wish that you want someone who encompasses all your same views on ev-

ery single issue.

You would need to clone yourself if that is what you seek, because no two people are the same.

And just remember, regardless of who gets in to run this great place we call Canada, two thirds of the country probably didn’t vote for them.

That doesn’t mean it’s a corrupt system and that doesn’t mean it’s not democratic.

But that is our hand dealt and our lot in life, so just do your best to live within it.

But please stop with the hate, anger and bitterness.

There is too much of it in this world already.

MISTY VANPOPTA, FORT LANGLEY

Council members’ decision shows Rezoning would misunderstanding of role, says Hall put Brookswood

Editor: Recently The Times published an article that raised awareness of public concerns raised about discarded sharps (Langley City grapples with problem of discarded needles, Oct. 2).

Sadly, this article distorts both the issues and the stance taken by council.

If one looks at the proposed motion this was not a call for needle exchanges but direction to staff

to share with both council and the public what they are doing and what others are perhaps doing better.

The suggestion of needle depositories (at street level) was not “welcomed by council” as suggested by the writer, as the majority chose to buy the line that staff and council need not learn more.

Sadly ensuing comments, available to all on the City’s website, suggest that there is a misunderstanding of

the role of council to direct action and to lead a social imperative to ensure public safety and “harm reduce” for the most vulnerable.

DAVE HALL,

aquifer at risk

LANGLEY CITY COUNCILLOR

Editor: Langley residents should be concerned about an application to Surrey council to rezone 77 acres near 16 Avenue and 192 Street from agricultural land into a trucker’s oasis.

The facility would turn what many of us knew as the llama farm into heavy truck parking, warehouses, truck washing facilities, repair centres and offices.

This property is highly valuable in recharging the Brookswood aquifer.

It drains into the Little Campbell River, a sensitive fish spawning area.

Although Surrey has many programs to protect

Editor’s note: the story in question states that, “Hall made a motion to have staff investigate the pros, cons and best practice harm reduction strategies of needle depositories and exchanges.”

OCD Awareness Week runs Oct. 11 to 17 Editor: In an average elementary school, there are likely five children suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).

In a medium to large high school, there are typically 20 students battling OCD. And in a workplace of 500, there would be about five employees who have OCD, most likely hiding their symptoms from their colleagues.

OCD is in our community and residents of Langley should not feel ashamed or embarrassed.

In most cases, OCD is a treatable disorder. However, studies show that people suffer unnecessarily for years because of lack of information and a shortage of thera-

pists trained to properly diagnose and treat OCD. This is an opportunity for your readers to educate themselves about OCD and its treatment during the International OCD Foundation’s OCD Awareness Week, Oct. 11 to 17.

The IOCDF helps people find treatment that will curtail suffering and allow them to lead more productive lives.

It also funds research and provides support for OCD sufferers and the families and caregivers of OCD patients.

A variety of IOCDF resources can be found online at www.iocdf.org LEA BIANCHIN, VOLUNTEER: OCD BRITISH COLUMBIA

the environment, they are fast tracking this application and Langley residents will be heavily impacted if this project proceeds.

What can we do to let Surrey know of our concerns?

If we tell our friends and relatives in Surrey about the problems they can influence their councillors.

If we tell Langley councillors, they may speak on our behalf to Surrey council.

If we do nothing, our aquifer and salmon in the Little Campbell River will be in danger.

‘Canadians deserve better’ The Langley Times invited candidates in both the Langley-Aldergrove and Cloverdale-Langley City ridings to identify what they consider to be the top issues facing voters in the Langleys and to explain what they would do to address those concerns.

Until Friday, Oct. 16, we will be publishing their answers — alternating ridings — each Wednesday and Friday. In this issue, we hear from Rebecca Smith, NDP candidate for the riding of Cloverdale-Langley City.

I

was born and raised in our beautiful province. I grew up in Langley, where my family has lived for over 30 years.

I chose to make my home in Cloverdale because I love this community and have dedicated my life to serving it. I want to continue to do so as a strong voice for Cloverdale-Langley City in Ottawa.

I started my career in financial consulting, helping people achieve their dreams and goals — buying a home, preparing to start a family, and saving for a well-deserved and comfortable retirement. After the 10 years of Stephen Harper’s Conservatives, it is becoming harder and harder for families. They are working harder than ever yet falling further behind. Every day, on the doorstep and around the community, I hear from families who are struggling just to make ends meet. I hear stories like that of my neighbours: they have two kids, both parents are working hard to provide the best life and future for their children. But they can’t find affordable child care, they are concerned about their rising debt-levels and they spend far too much time stuck in traffic.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Tom Mulcair and the NDP have a concrete plan to help middle class families.

Plans like $15 a day quality child care will not only help families, but also help grow the economy. The NDP will be a reliable partner for municipalities in infrastructure, transit and community development. By lowering taxes for small business, and investing in innovation and clean technologies, we will create good-paying middle class jobs.

Through my work with non-profit organizations over the last 10 years, I have fought to defend our rights and access to healthcare, mental health services, and safe workplaces. As a cancer survivor, I have first-hand intimate knowledge of the healthcare system from both the provider and patient perspective. I know how important it is to ensure that our healthcare system is improved and protected.

I have worked hard to bring attention to the need for proper care for our seniors so they can live with dignity. Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have left too many seniors facing a broken system of supports, forced to spend their final years in poverty, insecurity and isolation.

Canadians deserve better. An NDP government will provide long-term stable funding to provinces and territories to deliver quality health care and seniors’ care, including building 5,000 more nursing home beds and home care for 41,000 more seniors. The challenges in health and seniors’ care started with the Liberals and were made worse by 10 years of a Stephen Harper government. Tom Mulcair and the NDP understand these challenges and will work to repair the damage Harper has done. It was the NDP that brought publicly funded healthcare to Canada — you can trust that an NDP government is committed to protecting and strengthening Medicare.

I believe in the Canada that I grew up in, one that is highly respected internationally for our quality of life, strong values, social justice, unparalleled natural beauty and rich resources. Every day more and more Canadians are putting their trust in Tom Mulcair and the NDP to defeat Stephen Harper and bring change to Ottawa. With your help, we can repair the damage the Conservatives have done and make Canada strong again.

I believe our reputation as a world leader in environmental protection, peace keeping and international relations can be restored. That is why I am proud to stand as part of Tom Mulcair’s NDP team here in Cloverdale-Langley City.

“My first letter from me to my mother began, ‘Dear mother, we have landed in paradise.’

Meet SANGRIA, an adorable young pitbull. At 1 year old, this cheeky girl loves to bounce around in the grass and show off her favourite toys. She is super snuggly and will greet new people with a really cute “hi-five.” Gria is hoping for a great home that loves the breed. Being a bully type dog, Sangria may rub some strangers the wrong way without even meeting her. She is a very kind doggy citizen, but pitbull’s do have a negative stigma about them. Sangria is a great breed ambassador and is looking for that very special human or humans to call her own. Sangria is good with cats and could also live with a dog. She does get quite excited, so no small kids for this one. She is the favourite at LAPS and if she doesn’t get adopted soon, she may just end up getting scooped up by a staff member! If you think that you are perfect for Sangria, the party girl, please ask to speak with her Trainer. For more www.lapsbc.ca information contact LAPS 604-857-5055 at 604 857-5055.

City councillors honoured for 25 years of service

M IRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Tim e s Re po r t e r

In 1990 Gayle Martin and Jack Arnold first sat in council chambers as elected officials and now, 25 years later, both councillors admit they never thought they would represent the City of Langley for so long.

“What comes to mind is who would have thunk?” Martin said as she and Arnold were honoured with long service awards during council’s meeting on Sept. 28.

“Even after 25 years,

plished by the councils over the years — and there is still a lot to accomplish.

“Someone wrote on my Facebook page, here’s to the next 25. I’m happy to be here and I love what I do.”

Arnold exG AY L E JACK pressed the same M A RT I N ARNOLD sentiments.

“Actually, the I would say I am prob- people in Langley are ably enjoying it more the ones who should now than I did 25 years be getting the certifago,” she said. icate for putting up “And maybe that’s with me for 25 years,” because of the experi- Arnold joked. ence or maybe that’s “One of the things because of things that I’ve always told people have been accom-

about being on council, and probably one of the reasons I stuck around for so long … this has always been a situation where we might go at it hot and heavy at the council

table, but afterwards we’ll all go out and have a coffee together.

“And that makes it easy to work with people. It makes it a lot more fun.

“I retired from my

full time job in 2007, and the plan was buy a motorhome, stop coaching football, and not run for council again. “Well, all of that worked except for the not running for coun-

cil again, and I guess that’s why I’m still here. We’ve got another three and a half years to go, so we’ll see how it goes. Again, thanks to everyone I’ve worked along with.”

“We continue to maintain this position by providing an outstanding level of customer service and excellence,” said Andy Nagra, who took ownership of 5923 200 St location just over four and a half years ago.

Andy and his friendly/knowledgeable team are committed to upholding a pledge of honesty, reliability and affordability for every job, big or small.

“We reflect the honesty and trust your remember from the old-fashioned neighbourhood auto repair shop,” he said matter-of-factly.

For Andy, the customer interaction and being able to help his customers save time and money is what he enjoys most about his job. “I’ve gotten to know so many great people working here — people who have become like family. And I’m kind of like their family doctor, except I treat their vehicle.

While the customer service is undeniably part of Budget Brake & Muffler Auto Centre’s winning formula, it’s the affordability and reliability that has put this auto shop on the map and in the heart of its customers. “We provide great service, but we are also very honest and reliable,� noted Andy. “At the end of the day we will tell our customer what their vehicle needs and never pressure them. We are very straightforward with what needs to be done, and what can be held off.�

Nowadays, Andy has noticed many

of the younger generation will purchase a brand new car every five years — an exuberant cost he says is unnecessary and hard on the environment. “Just because your warranty is over and it has a few miles on it, doesn’t mean your car is useless, and should be discarded, “ said Andy, also noting that Budget Brake & Muffler offers an excellent warranty and they’re warranty approved when it comes to new vehicles purchased. “By taking care of your car and bringing it in for regular servicing, you can extend the life of your car for years to come.�

Her vases in particular have their own unique persona.

M IR A ND A GAT HE R C OLE Langley Time s

MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

Pottery with personality

There’s more to Elaine BrewerWhite’s vases than molded clay.

Hillary and Benita — two of the ceramic sculptor’s latest abstract pieces — take on entire personas themselves.

Though faceless, the bright colours and rugged textures of the vases have the same characteristics as the exuberant figurines she has become well known for over the past 30 years.

“It’s all about colour and form for me,” Brewer-White said.

“The goal for me is that no two will ever be the same at all. It’s abstract, they’re supposed to be different every way you look.

“When I show them sometimes I put big flowers in them because they are meant to hold floral

arrangements, but they are also meant to be intriguing on their own.”

The vases, all of which have names, are part of BrewerWhite’s latest venture into pottery.

The “usable artwork” began while Brewer-White was caring for her mother, who has dementia.

“I had to take a couple years off work to look after my mom,” she explained.

“And the only time I could get into the studio was for very short bursts, so I discovered pottery.

Something small, something that wouldn’t take long that was still satisfying that creative urge. And I found that I really liked it. It opened my work up to another market.”

It also was a way for BrewerWhite to pay homage to her mother, without even realizing it.

She was an abstract quilter and painter, and Brewer-White’s vases resemble the fabric artwork that she grew up with.

“It’s funny, because I only discovered it half-way through the process,” Brewer-White said. “(The vases) they’re like pieces of fabric, the texture and colour.

And that’s really what got me going because when I was caring for (my mother), and she wasn’t able to do her quilting anymore, it still really was there with me.

She definitely was an inspiration.

And it was very deep, I didn’t even realize it at first.”

In addition to vases, BrewerWhite has also created a collection of eclectic mugs,

which she is selling at the West Coast Women’s Show in Abbotsford this weekend.

But don’t plan on buying a matching set. Like the vases, no two mugs are alike. A veteran of improvised theatre performing, Brewer-White brings this same approach to her art and pottery.

“It’s a thought process that you never let go of, so even though I’m not performing anymore, it’s still with me,” she said.

“I approach my artwork with, ‘I’ll try something new and if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter.’

Mistakes are part of the process, that’s still how I work.

“Sometimes I’ll try to make a different colour format or a different glaze and it doesn’t work. I don’t do tests, and sometimes I really pay for it,

but that’s how I was trained.

With that thought process, with an improviser’s mind, I think I have a much greater field of inspiration and imagination, because anything goes.”

••• The West Coast Women’s Show is on Oct. 16 to 18 at the TRADEX in Abbotsford, 1190 Cornell St. Now in its 15th year, the show is the largest of its kind in Western Canada and features more than 400 vendors, including a new Artisans Marketplace where Brewer-White will have her pottery on display.

The illustrators/ best friends were part of the Downtown Langley Art Crawl, which took place Oct. 3 and 4. It was the first event of its kind in the downtown core to promote local artists and businesses.

Hontiveros, a comic book artist, spent the weekend working on pieces for the international event, Inktober.

During the month of October, artists around the world are challenged to

CLA RESOURCE CENTRE

produce one ink drawing per day for 31 days, then post them on social media with the hashtag #inktober.

Hontiveros has already posted several on her Instagram account “thesunnygo.”

She is also working on the new project, Bones of the Coast, a comic book series on horror stories in B.C. Featuring B.C. artists and stories, the anthology will be published in the spring by non-profit comics company Cloudscape.

Miguel recently finished her grad portfolio at Emily Carr University, and had several pieces on display at the Art Crawl.

HEARING CLINIC HAS

BIG HEART

Help for the hearing impaired Loss of hearing is a completely debilitating experience that can adversely affect a person’s career, studies, and life in general.

According to Dr. John Lin at Johns Hopskins University, early treatment is crucial in treating hearing loss.

“There is still a perception among the public and many medical professionals that hearing loss is an inconsequential part of the aging process and you can’t do anything about it,” he said.

“Understanding hearing loss treatment is important, as evidence is beginning to surface that hearing loss is associated with poorer cognitive functioning and the risk of dementia.”

Finding the right hearing professional and hearing aids are instrumental in one’s healthy hearing journey, but getting started is often the hard part -- fortunately, that doesn’t have to be the case.

Kim Galick, a licensed registered hearing instrument practitioner and owner of Ears Hearing Clinic in Langley has helped hundreds of people come to terms with their hearing loss and to choose the best solution in correcting

their impairment - for their lifestyle Even family members who are affected by their loved one’s hearing loss can benefit from this small clinic with a big heart.

“Stephanie (our client care co-coordinator) and I take great pride with the service that we provide to our patients hearing health care needs and to their family members,” said Galick, who has been a registered hearing instrument specialist with the College of Speech and Hearing Professionals of B.C. for the past 20 years.

“That’s what sets us apart from any other hearing clinic around!”

Galick opened her familyrun business – a full-service audiology clinic providing free hearing tests and also provides hearing aids and hearing protection – on the corner of Langley’s historic Salt Lane and 56 Ave. three years ago.

This past year, the clinic was voted ‘Favourite Hearing Clinic’ in the Langley Times.

Prior to becoming an entrepreneur, the mother-of-two worked at the same hearing clinic for 20 years.

Any adult who is concerned about their hearing should be tested, according to Galick,

Voted ‘Favourite Hearing Clinic’ in the Langley Times

who notes that tests are always complimentary at her clinic.

“Depending on the outcome of the results – if person’s hearing is normal or possibly borderline normal, we recommend bi-annual re-testing. If the test results show that there is hearing loss of some degree, we will discuss the concerns the client has about their hearing, and if a hearing aid is suitable, we will discuss all options available.”

Hearing aids are not a commodity to be given to the clients and then sent out the door, adds Galick, who notes that it takes time for each person to get used to hearing aids and the hearing aids need adjustments as the clients slowly get used to wearing them.

“This is generally done weekly and/or biweekly for the first few months and then once the client is comfortable with the hearing aids quarterly check-up appointments are schedule,” she said.

“Customers will need continuous service for the life that they own their hearing aids.”

20568 56th Avenue (located next door to Langley Legion) Walk-ins welcome. No appointment necessary.

CALL TODAY 604.427.2828 Veterans TAPS cards accepted.

Ears Hearing Clinic Langley is an independent & locally owned family business.

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

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

While many avoid having a hearing exam or refrain from purchasing a hearing aid because of the expense, there are ways of receiving assistance.

“There are many people out there who feel as though they cannot afford a hearing aid, but I encourage everyone with hearing concerns to come in and have their hearing evaluated, “said Galick.

GA RY AHUJ A @LangleyTSpo rts 604.514.6754 • s p orts @l angl ey ti m es .com

‘Ladder’ player lands with Langley David Laurin brings a little bit of everything on the ice and beginning next year, the 16-year-old will get the chance to do so with his hometown hockey club, the Langley Rivermen G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Spo r t s

Power forward, agitator, defensively responsible, playmaker, energy player, sniper — those are all common terms used to describe hockey players.

How about a ‘ladder’ player?

That is how Brad Bowen, the head coach of the Yale Hockey Academy’s U18 midget squad, describes David Laurin.

“He’s a ‘ladder’ player — he can play on our third line or fourth line or he can play on our top line if he has to,” the coach explained.

“He can play a bunch of different roles, depending on what we need.”

“David is not a goal scorer, but he can score goals; he is not a banger and crasher, but he is physical and can hit,” Bowen explained.

“He just fits in real well. We play him as a centre when we need a centre (and) he plays wing when we need wingers. He just does a lot of things well.”

“David is a key part of our team,” the coach added.

“He is not flashy, but he does a lot of little things right.”

And starting next year — and perhaps later this hockey season — Laurin will suit up for his hometown Langley Rivermen. “(David) had a great camp with us and did really well through the exhibition games,” said Rivermen head coach and general manager Bobby Henderson.

“He was pretty close to making our team for this year. We just decided he was better off playing with Yale and being a go-to-guy there and getting some key minutes instead of potentially not getting as much development time being in and out of the line-up this year.”

For the 16-year-old Laurin, landing with Langley accomplishes the first goal on his list.

“It is definitely nice to be able to stay at home to play hockey,” he said.

“Having the chance to stay in Langley and play in front of family and friends on a nightly basis is going to be really fun.”

Laurin was selected by the Kelowna Rockets in the Western Hockey League bantam draft in 2014.

But playing in the B.C. Hockey League and earning a college scholarship for his education was always goal one.

In Laurin’s final season of bantam rep hockey two seasons ago with the Langley Eagles, he scored 48 goals and 89 points in 66 games. He also had 62 penalty minutes.

He joined the Yale Hockey Academy last year and playing for the Lions’ U15 squad in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League, Laurin had 11 goals and 19 points in 28 goals. He also had 32 penalty minutes.

And through the hockey season’s first nine games this year, Laurin is a point-per-game player with three goals and nine points in nine games for Yale.

Laurin, who is now six-footone and 183 pounds, has been on the Rivermen radar since that monster bantam season.

“He’s a big kid who uses his body real well, and he is strong on pucks,” Bowen said.

The coach did say that while Laurin’s skating is just average — should improve as he gets stronger — he always manages to get where he is going.

Laurin is hoping to get stronger this season and possibly even earn a scholarship prior to

Su bmitte d Pho to

Langley’s David Laurin played for the Yale Hockey Academy’s U15 squad last year. He will play for the Abbotsford hockey program’s U18 midget team this year before joining the Langley Rivermen full-time in 2016/17.

David had a great camp with us and did really well through the preseason. He was pretty close to making our team this year.

DAVID LA U RIN joining Langley full-time.

“He is a versatile player,” Henderson said.

BOBBY HENDERSON

“(David’s role) is all going to depend on how he develops physically.

“But at the end of the day, we

see him as being a power forward type of guy that can play at both ends of the rink.

“He has a really good offensive mind but is also responsible defensively.”

Laurin is looking forward to playing for the Rivermen, whether it is later this season or full-time in 2016/17.

“It is just a faster paced game and the atmosphere is great,” he said about what he learned in the preseason.

“I am a player that will be physical and go hard to the net with the puck,” he said.

“I will do anything it takes to help the team win and I hope to contribute any way I can.”

Rivermen win streak ends at four Twenty minutes away from a fifth straight victory, the Langley Rivermen could not secure their third-period lead, falling 4-2.

The Rivermen were hosting the Chilliwack Chiefs on Sunday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre with the visitors scoring all four goals — including the final one into the empty net — to hand Langley its first loss in the month of October.

Langley still leads the BCHL’s Mainland Division with a record of 7-3-0-0 and 14 points, one ahead of both Chilliwack and the Wenatchee Wild.

The Rivermen blanked the Wild 3-0 on Friday night, also at the LEC.

Luke Voltin and Ryan Barrow scored first-period goals against the Wild with Matty Saharchuk adding an insurance marker in the third period.

Nick Trenciansky stopped all 37 shots as Langley was outs-hot 3718.

And the goaltender was perfect through the first two periods against Chilliwack before the Chiefs scored early in the third, ending his shutout streak at 111:28.

Trevor Ayre and Adam Sinclair had the Rivermen goals.

Langley hits the road this weekend for games in Trail and Penticton on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Knights snap losing skid Three-point games from both Nicolas Bizzuto and Daniel Watson helped the Langley Knights finally get back into the win column.

The junior B hockey club defeated the Port Moody Panthers 5-2 on Saturday night at the Port Moody Arena, snapping an eightgame losing streak.

The Knights had lost 4-2 to the Ridge Mead-

ows Flames at the George Preston Recreation Centre on Oct. 8 with Jacob De Waal and Oliver Alcock getting the goals.

Against the Panthers, Langley scored twice in a 22-second span late in the first period to lead 3-0 after one. And after the Panthers got on the board in the second, the Knights struck for a pair of goals and a 5-1

lead after 40 minutes.

Jackson Waniek, De Waal and Brandon Galbraith had the other Langley goals while Stephen Newbury made 30 saves for the win.

Langley played the Delta Ice Hawks last night (Tuesday) after The Times’ press deadline. They also host the Panthers at the Preston Centre on Thursday (Oct. 15).

Fantastic finish to vaulting season for Triple M club It was a fantastic finish to the season for a handful of Langley athletes.

Competing at the provincial equestrian vaulting championships — a combina-

tion of acrobatics and dance performed on a moving horse — the club capped off the season with two individual gold medals, a silver, a bronze and one team gold medal.

They were competing at Thunderbird Show Park Sept. 25 to 27.

Each competitor does a compulsory round followed by a freestyle round set to music.

OBITUARIES

WELLS, Betty April 12, 1922 - October 6, 2015 Of Langley, died after a short illness. Born in England, came to Canada in 1957. Worked for newspapers, civil service, volunteer.

Smart as a whip to the end. Predeceased by husband John Wells.

Survived by daughter Karin Wells and granddaughter Jennifer Wells Schenkman.

DOERKSEN, Henry

It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce the passing of my Beloved Husband, and Best Friend, Henry Doerksen. He leaves behind me, Chrisanna, sons David, and Jonathan, daughter Stephanie, and granddaughter Nico.

Henry was predeceased by his parents Mary and Herman Doerksen, sister Irene (Schmor) and brother John.

Henry possessed a joie de vivre and had many passions in life.

He was a member of the Tabor College Orchestra in his college days playing the violin. In 1970 he entered the Education Dept. at UBC and graduated with a Teaching Degree. He became a Teacher in the Langley School District in 1972. In 2003 he graduated with a Masters Degree of Education from SFU. One of his highlights during his teaching career was a grant from the Mitchell Odyssey Foundation. He received $25,000 to supply his classroom with new computers and software. After 38 years of teaching Henry retired in 2010.

Henry loved friends and family, especially his Frisbee Golf group of life long friends, and all his tennis buddies from the Langley Tennis group. He loved sports cars and his friends at the Fiero club.

Watching sports was a major past time for Henry, especially watching his sons play soccer and hockey, as well as horseback riding with his daughter.

Henry battled a brave fight with cancer right up to the end. He lived life to the fullest.

In Lieu of flowers, you are welcome to donate to the BC Cancer Agency. Celebration of Life will be held at Newlands Golf and Country Club in Langley October 16th, at 4pm.
