Murrayville hall moves to reduce noise

Sparring Partners

DA N F E R G US ON Time s Re po rte r

DAN FER GUSON L an gley Time s

Nathan Dykstra and Mattias Huberts did some friendly sumo-style sparring Sunday afternoon at the Langley Fundamental School Family Fun Day.

The historic Murrayville Community Hall has installed an electronic noise warning device and imposed an earlier closing time in response to complaints about loud voices and music.

An Oct. 17 letter to mayor and council from hall manager Wally Martin says the user rental agreement has been changed to move up closing times by half an hour, so the bar has to close at 10:30 p.m. instead of 11 p.m., functions must now end at 11:30 p.m. instead of midnight and cleanup has to be completed by 12:30 a.m. instead of 1 a.m.

Martin says the hall, located at the Five Corner intersection of 216 Street and 48 Avenue, has purchased an $800 noise-activated warning sign that lights up when sound levels go above allowable limits.

“The unit has been installed in such a way that it is tamper proof,” Martin’s letter states.

Renters are warned they could lose their deposit if they ignore the warning to reduce volume.

The hall has also bought a “music playing device” to demonstrate acceptable sound levels to users and has posted signs reminding users to keep doors closed when music is playing.

The steps were taken in response to a letter from the Township last year that advised there had been “several complaints regarding noise” at the hall.

Tethering limit ‘nearly impossible’ to enforce Memo to Township council says officer would have to stake out a suspected violation to prove case D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

More staff would have to be hired to enforce a time limit on tethering dogs outdoors in Langley Township, a report to council says.

The Oct. 20 unsigned memo to mayor and council by the community development division warns an officer would have to stake out a suspected violation longer than the maximum allowed time in order

to prove the limit was violated.

“In order to effectively investigate complaints and be able to prove an offence, an animal control officer would be required to be on scene and observe the tethered dog for the duration of the allowed period to prove that a violation has taken place,” the report said.

That makes time-based anti-tether regulations “nearly impossible to enforce, due to staff resources required and the prac-

ticality of evidence collection” the memo concluded.

The memo said a survey of municipalities with no-tether regulations found enforcement action is rarely taken, with one unnamed municipality recording 54 complaints in 2014 without issuing a single ticket.

As reported by the BC SPCA, only 19 out of 152 municipalities and two out of 27 regional districts set limits on tethering, but those limits vary considerably, from a maximum tethered time of 23 hours a day in Whistler to one hour a day in Burnaby.

don’t set a maximum time, but forbid leaving a tethered dog unattended.

“The purpose of (that approach to) regulation was to reduce the risk of tethered dogs harming themselves by getting caught up in the tether for extended period of times.”

The issue was raised by an Aldergrove resident in June.

Callie McHardy told council she was “surprised” to learn there was no anti-tether bylaw in Langley when she tried to get help for a dog near her home.

DO YOU HAVE CHRONIC SHOULDER, KNEE, OR ELBOW PAIN? Shockwave Pain Relief Treatment

What are

ShockWave Therapy in Orthopedics has been clinically researched and p proven in journals such as American Journal of Sports Medicine, Journal of S Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, Foot & Ankle International, American Journal of Orthopedics and Related Research and more! shockwaves?

Shock waves are high-energy acoustic (sound) waves that are used to penetrate the skin to treat an injured area in the body. There is a high release of energy at the soft tissue/bone interface. The release of energy from the shock waves within the region of the affected tissues and the resultant compression and tension of cells creates a positive physiological effect. Mechano - transduction is the physiological effect thought to be responsible for stimulating normal and injured cells to produce healing factors.

How does it work?

ShockWave Therapy involves using a hand-held probe to focus shock waves on the affected tissue and surrounding healthy tissue to induce physiological response that will initiate healing. It is important to accurately define the treatment area through appropriate diagnostics. We do that through taking in the patient’s concise pain history, palpation, x-rays, ultrasound, MRI etc. This ensures the most effective delivery of shock waves into the affected region.

When applied to the skin, it allows an increased blood supply to the treated area by stimulation of neovascularization and growth Factors. Other benefits of ShockWave Therapy include:

• Re-initiates stagnant healing processes in chronic • Facilitates resorption of calcifications in tendons and ligaments injuries • Stimulates migration (differentiation) of • Decreases inflammatory processes stem cells • Stimulates osteoclasts and fibroblasts to rebuild injured tissues

Evidence based success rates More than 80% of patients report improvement after the first treatment of the program.

Most studies report a full healing rate of 65-85% after completion of the treatment program.

Special needs cart introduced Langley Elks and Save-On-Foods partner to bring “Caroline’s Cart” to local shoppers

D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

Going shopping with mom is more of a challenge for nine-year-old Brynn Chappell of Langley than it is for most other kids.

Brynn has cerebral palsy, and while she can get around using a walker, it takes a lot of physical effort.

During an excursion to the grocery store, Brynn can get tired and a little crabby, dad Jay says.

Mom Lore will sometimes put a booster seat in a shopping cart, but it’s really a bit too small for a child Brynn’s age.

Trying to co-ordinate a wheelchair for Brynn, together with a shopping cart and Brynn’s younger brother Ryder, seven, is just not practical.

On Saturday morning, the Chappells were introduced to a better solution, a purpose-built shopping cart for older kids and adults with special needs and their caregivers.

“Caroline’s Cart” comes with a roomy seat and fivepoint safety harness, along with front and back brakes.

The Langley Elks #259 and Save-On-Foods have partnered to introduce the cart to the Langley City Save-On near 201 Street on Fraser Highway.

With a small crowd looking on, Brynn was at first reluctant to try the cart, but once she was settled in, she gave a shy nod when she was asked if it was comfortable.

“Let’s go shopping,” she told her mom.

The cart was designed by the mother of Caroline Long, a special needs child with Rett’s Syndrome from Alabama.

In an YouTube video, Drew Long explained she reached the end of her tether one day while trying to co-ordinate a grocery shopping trip with two of her children, one in a wheelchair.

“I remember so desperately struggling with a wheelchair, a two-year-old and a shopping cart,” Long said.

“I literally sat down and I jotted out on paper and pencil a design of a shopping cart that would not only benefit Caroline but many (other) children as well.”

The design won the interest of grocery cart manufacturer Technibilt in North Carolina, which is part of the Cari-All Group that constitutes North America’s largest shopping cart manufacturer.

The first carts started shipping to retailers in September, 2013. Save-On-Foods has introduced the carts at more than a dozen locations so far.

City drew same conclusion on dog tethering Tethering, from Page 1

DAN FER UGSON L an gley Time s

Nine-year-old Brynn Chappell of Langley, with mom Lore, demonstrates a new shopping cart at the Langley City Save On Foods on Fraser Highway on Saturday.

“Just down the street, there’s a dog that’s always chained up,” McHardy told Township council.

Some Langley dogs are left on a tether, unattended, for 24 hours a day, McHardy said.

“They just live their lives on the end of chains.”

Langley City reviewed the same issue last year and found tethering restrictions would be “extremely difficult to enforce” and “almost impossible to monitor,” said the report by Carolyn Mushata, manager of legislative services.

Mushata said the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) receives one or two complaints a month about tethered or chained dogs in both the City and Township.

Limiting the time a dog can be tethered would be “very difficult” to enforce unless it was banned entirely or only allowed when the owner is in attendance, LAPS predicted.

The Mushata report warned restricting outdoor tethering “may lead to even worse confinement conditions within the interior of the home, making the situation almost impossible to address.”

“Regulating confinement and tethering of dogs would be extremely difficult to enforce and is not recommended,” the report concluded.

The City animal control law was left unchanged.

It requires tethering of dogs, aggressive or not, “in such a manner to prevent the dog from leaving the property.”

It does not set any restrictions on the time or method of tethering or size of the confinement area.

But it does ban the use of choke chains around the neck and confinement of a dog in an enclosed space, including a vehicle, without “adequate ventilation.”

The report to City council said provincial and federal laws forbid “unnecessary suffering” by animals, but “the legal test for these offences is high, so it is difficult to bring charges under the current legislation.”

‘Significant reduction in noise,’ since device installed Noise, from Page 1

Council had voted to request steps be taken to address the problem at a special closed meeting held on Oct. 20, 2014.

In his letter, Martin says the countermeasures appear to have

been effective.

“I have received reports from neighbours of the hall that they noticed a significant reduction in noise coming from the hall,” Martin said.

The historic hall was built in 1928 by volunteers to replace

embrace LED

the original community hall that burned down in 1924.

The historicplaces.ca website says the two-storey building is valued for its architectural details, “such as its unusual roof form (not quite a gabled hip), narrow lapped wooden siding, and scalloped

shingles above the main entry.”

It adds the building “represents the shift of the economic, political and social centre of the region from Fort Langley to Murrayville following the Edwardian building boom of the 1910s.”

The hall is associated with the

pioneer Porter family, first through George Porter, who opened a blacksmith shop in 1894.

His son, Philip Young Porter (known as PY), sold the hall property to the Murrayville Community Hall Association for the sum of $1 in 1944.

7:30 a.m., the outside of a home in Aldergrove was set ablaze.

Fire crews were called to the residence, located at 26595 29 Ave. Flames were burning through the roof by the time they arrived.

The fire had been set on the outside of the house, flames climbed up the wall and into the attic, said Walker.

There was extensive damage and the home is a complete loss.

Nobody was living in the house at the time of the fire, but it contained some furniture, left behind by the last tenant.

Happy ending following book contest mix-up Douglas Park Elementary will receive $10,000 to purchase new books after first being disqualified for breaking rules that ‘were a bit unclear’ MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

It was a fairytale ending after all for Douglas Park Community School.

After being disqualified from a contest for $10,000 in much-needed books for their library — a contest which they thought they’d won — the school learned they will still get the money.

The inner city school, which is desperate for new books for its library, entered the Indigo Adopt-A-School contest and spread the word that the school needed votes to win.

The community rallied and by the contest deadline, the Langley City school was ranked first in B.C. for votes, but close behind them is was another elementary school from Kelowna.

When voting closed on Oct. 10, Douglas Park appeared to have won.

“Indigo phoned me on Monday and I thought it was to congratulate us on winning the $10,000 in books,” said Douglas Park principal Esther Schmit.

“Imagine my surprise when she told me that we would still be getting the 445 books, but had been disqualified from winning the prize money because we had people vote from multiple email accounts.”

On Oct. 26, Schmit

wrote on the online Indigo/Chapters contest forum that she was shocked that the school had been disqualified.

Schmit said the rules were a bit unclear, noting other schools were disqualified as well.

“I believe that no one intentionally played contrary to the rules and that everyone worked hard to support a group of inner city kids,” Schmit wrote.

“We can hold our heads high with what we were able to accomplish together. . . we have terrific kids at this school and we need terrific people like yourself to continue to support them.

Thank you.”

There was an outcry from the community and from those who voted for Douglas Park, she said. They made their feelings known to Indigo.

In the meantime, Black Bond Books phoned and offered to donate 1,000 books to

ES TH ER S C H MIT them, said Schmit. The school’s main photographer Life Touch Photography donated $625.

“We’ve had an amazing level of support and the community just didn’t give up,” she said.

By Wednesday, Indigo/Chapters Love of Reading Foundation (which organized the B.C.-wide contest) had a change of heart.

Now the foundation is providing Douglas Park with a separate donation of $10,000 for new books.

“Like other schools that participated, Douglas Park showed an outstanding enthusiasm and commitment to children’s literacy,” said a release from Indigo’s Love of Reading Foundation.

“I want to give credit to Indigo for fulfilling our dreams,” said Schmit.

“Our teachers are really excited to get the students involved in picking the books they want to read and see in our library.’

Schmit said the entire experience is a good lesson for the kids.

“We always tell our kids if they make a mistake, admit it and try to fix it.

“But this time, they are shown that adults who make mistakes can admit them and fix them as Indigo did,” she said.

The school is also trying to pay it forward.

It will be sending a collection of its used books to students in Rwanda.

A 25-year-old Langley man was stabbed multiple times during an altercation on Halloween night in Langley City.

Around 1 a.m. Sunday, during a party at Douglas Crescent and 203 Street, a fight broke out between two men who know each other, said Langley RCMP Sgt. Ravi Pawar.

One of the men pulled out a knife and stabbed the other. Police rushed to the scene and the accused, a 23-year-old Langley man, was quickly arrested at that location, said Pawar.

B.C. Ambulance rushed the victim to Royal Columbian. His injuries have been upgraded from serious to non-life threatening and he is expected to re cover, said police. The pair are known to police.

The accused was held in jail over the weekend.

He is likely facing charges of assault with a weapon.

With Halloween falling on a Saturday this year, emergency responders were kept hopping in Langley answering calls about fires, fireworks and a stabbing along with car fires and crashes.

Langley RCMP attended 170 calls on Halloween, more than double the average for a Saturday night, said Sgt. Ravi Pawar.

A majority of the calls were related to fireworks and public intoxication.

Township fire was also kept busy. They went out to around 30 calls, mainly to crashes and medical calls, said assistant fire chief Pat Walker.

Crews were als o called to a car fire at 8 p.m. in the 33000 block of 270 Street and alerted that wires were down at 240 Street and 38 Avenue.

Langley City fire and rescue, by contrast, said it didn’t have many calls related to Halloween.

Prominent developer opposes proposed high-density project Avenue.

That would require Township council to approve raising the maximum allowed housing density for the lots from 12 units per acre to 29.6.

“This is the kind of application that gives developers a bad name” said Woodward.

“I would like it sent back for something more reasonable.”

Woodward, who said he was “speaking for myself,” was one of two people who spoke against the project at the Sept. 28 afternoon meeting of council.

Local resident Richard Bent said the proposed density increase was not consistent with the character in the surrounding area, and would mean increased

A proposed Fort Langley residential building is the kind of project that give developers a bad name, Eric Woodward told Township council.

Woodward, builder of several Fort Langley projects, was commenting on an application to build a townhouse project in the village that would be more than double the maximum allowed residential density.

pressures on parking and a potential drop in property values.

The application is in the early stages and has yet to come before council.

That is not expected until November.

Woodward told The Times his well-known Coulter Berry project was well below the maximum allowed residential density.

He said under the existing regulations, the three-storey building could have had 16.65 residential units, but he built nine, 54 per cent of the allowable maximum.

At press time, Shingle Ridge Homes had not responded to a Times request for comment.

School district looks into holiday alignment Langley School District is asking for community feedback on whether to change its calendar to better align holiday breaks with those in other school districts.

In years past, parents have complained that Langley’s spring break didn’t match others in the area, so now they are trying to change that.

Superintendent Suzanne Hoffman told the board of education on Tuesday that she doesn’t

expect a lot of concern from parents on this.

And she made it clear that this isn’t an attempt to revisit a year-round school calendar.

“We heard, loud and clear, ‘no’ to year-round schooling. Thousands of students take our summer sessions. That is our way to provide a balanced calendar.”

Plan To Grow Your Farmers Success

Here, Doug owned the house when Debbie moved in, and also some company shares.

Between the time Debbie moved in and the time she and Doug split up, the house equity went up by some $157,000, and the shares by some $86,000. It was only this increase in value that counted as family property.

And then there’s often the thorny question The baseline rule now is that you are entitled to a one-half share of all family of how you should split your property. property (and debts).

The perpetual public sector pay debate Once again, the salaries of the Township’s top managers are the subject of comment, much of it critical.

Usually, it’s the legally required once-a-year report on municipal salaries that generates a response.

But this time, the trigger was a Times story about an email defending the amount paid the most senior employees.

Township Human Resources director Shannon Harvey-Renner wrote a resident to say the salary paid to the top manager, CAO Mark Bakken, reflects “the extensive training, skill, expertise and experience that is required to run an organization the size and scope of Langley Township, which is essentially a $1.5 billion corporation.”

Seen in that light, $300,000 (including expenses) to run an operation of that size is, if anything, a bargain given the responsibilities the CAO has.

But some taxpayers would beg to differ, judging by the letters that have landed in The Times’ inbox since the story appeared.

Some object to the comparison with the private sector, saying the difference between the hundreds of thousands a senior public manager makes and the millions their private sector counterpart can bank is that the money for the public sector staffer comes directly out of their pocket in the form of taxes.

But what would happen if some budget-minded council decided to pay top managers a lot less?

Chances are, there would almost certainly be a migration of managers to the private sector.

Hiring replacements with the same degree of education and experience would be a challenge.

And keeping them would be tricky, too.

Bottom line: there is nothing to force people who work in the public sector to remain there against their will.

Whether they want to or not, Langley taxpayers are competing with private companies for able managerial talent.

No one at the Township or this newspaper is suggesting senior municipal managers should have parity with their private sector counterparts, who make as much as 30 times more.

But when people are charged with administering $1.5 billion in public money, it is hardly unreasonable to expect them to make more than the average, especially given the level of education and experience required.

You get what you pay for.

trying to kill me.

You’d suppose I’d have learned my lesson after the same thing happened a few years earlier with an alarm system that I’d never used — and therefore had never bothered to learn to deactivate.

Its back-up battery died, setting it off (you guessed it) in the middle of the night. After frantically pushing all the buttons on the keypad a dozen times or so, to no avail, I was eventually forced to pull the siren itself out of the wall — Incredible Hulk-style — bringing with it several inches of drywall.

It’s amazing the strength you can conjure at 4 a.m. when you’re convinced your upstairs neighbour will be down to murder you at any moment.

But this time, there had been no warning chirps or blinking lights to indicate anything was amiss.

Why it couldn’t just tell me it needed a fresh battery instead of faking a gas leak, I’ll never know, but consider it a lesson learned.

From now on, when it comes to smoke and gas detectors, I’ll endeavour to be that one neighbour who remembers to regularly change the batteries, and the one who (pride be damned) makes the right phone call the first time.

Compare Whole point of public art is to draw Warawa remark attention, not to serve as camouflage to Trudeau’s own conduct Editor: Wow, lots of ink on the letters page (The Times, Oct. 28) complaining of a pretty mild comment by our re-elected Conservative Member of Parliament Mark Warawa, who happens to be a Christian.

Not surprising that some letters come from the same anti-Harper partisan crowd that espouse the ‘inclusive’ buzzword but cant resist put down comments of Christians.

All people in power get nicknames — some less tasteful than others.

There are many pseudonyms in the media and on the web besides “Justin Hairdo,” like “Just-In,” “Shiny Pony,” “Hair Apparent,” etc. which goes with the territory as writers and cartoonists try to colour their stories.

Note that one offended letter writer Shawneen Hartmann had no shame in tagging our longstanding MP with “Mark Waa-waa” by excusing herself with “at the risk of lowering herself to his infantile level”.

Now compare this with Justin Trudeau’s vile burst of profanity in the House of Commons where he called his opponent, “You piece of s***.”

But the double standard media thinks this is OK, because he’s their guy.

Trudeau was elected by the Liberal media providing free campaign publicity especially the CBC and CTV openly hyping everything Trudeau, while continuously bashing the Conservatives as the evil Harper Derangement Syndrome.

Now I hear the same media having symptoms of buyer’s remorse, saying things like, “I hope he isn’t an international disaster and embarrasses us.”

The fact is, we are taking a big chance with Trudeau as he is very young at 43, inexperienced, a radical ideologue and has no qualifications to run a country. His learning curve is straight up.

His work experience is part-time drama teacher and speaking engagements for which he charged plenty, while playing hooky from his MP job in parliament.

The world economies are in very precarious times, and Trudeau has vowed to increase our debt. If our mortgage gets too expensive we could become Greece with a rapid decline of our freedom, prosperity and culture.

ROLAND SEGUIN, LANGLEY

Editor: I am truly disappointed after reading about the resistance of the public art proposal in Fort Langley (The Times, Oct. 23) and felt compelled to write.

There are many examples of certain cities that have done just the same of what is being proposed in Langley, such as Vancouver and Richmond.

The Fort Langley Business Improvement Association (BIA) needs to provide a measure of “common sense” to this issue and be inclusionary instead

of exclusionary.

The whole point of this public art proposal” is to draw attention to them instead of have them blend in; it’s art not camouflage.

I will give you an example where public art has worked in favour of the community, celebrating their historic culture —the town of Kimberley.

Kimberley has its fire hydrants painted as a form of public art to celebrate the European influence within the area, which has been a smashing success in

Accountability for wages lies with past and present councils Editor: I read with interest and amazement the article by Dan Ferguson (The Times, Oct. 30) in which Shannon Harvey-Renner attempts to justify the wages of Mr. Bakken et al.

Let me first state the Township of Langley is not a private corporation, so comparing six Township personnel to the vastly overpaid non-public sector is a non-starter.

Corporate CEOs must answer to shareholders and must satisfy them or be removed, by vote, at any time.

Unfortunately, constituents, if unable to prove malfeasance, do not enjoy the same privilege.

So as shareholders can control their monetary drain the constituents have little voice in controlling the wages of Township staff. Yes, we can vote every four years and elect a new council, but does anyone believe the wages of staff or council will be reduced by the new council?

Now, let’s get to the extensive training, skill, expertise and experience.

Anyone in any skilled blue collar position has these attributes as requirements; and in most cases all of the aforementioned are acquired by formal education, on-the-job experience, supplementary courses and seminars. In the case of Mr. Bakken et al, I would hazard a guess that all but formal education is at tax payers’ expense.

That is a double whammy.

My consternation is not with Mr. Bakken and the staff; I am sure they believe they are worthy of every penny they receive.

My consternation is with past and present councils who do not have the foresight to realize if the present trend of ever increasing taxes at near past and present levels continue, only an ever-decreasing few will afford to have residence in the fabulous site we call Langley; a similar predicament to present day Vancouver and coming soon to Burnaby, New Westminster, and Surrey.

W.J. FARRALL,

generating world wide recognition of such.

Fort Langley is a small community that has heritage status because of its history and the arts and entertainment industry is one of the top contributors to the GDP within Canada.

To celebrate and promote its acceptance within the community is something that we should all be proud of.

TIM CHEUNG, LANGLEY

Hospital has undergone three major expansions Editor: Re: Master plan developed for Langley Memorial Hospital (The Times Oct. 16) I was dismayed when I read Monique Tamminga’s story on Fraser Health’s plans for Langley Memorial Hospital.

The story states that Langley’s hospital has not seen a major expansion since its opening in 1965.

It goes on to say, “The only addition to the structure took place recently with a second-storey added to the hospital’s maternity ward.”

This statement is not correct. There have, in fact, been three major expansions to the 1965 building (South Tower) in the last 40 years.

In 1975 a new wing doubled the size of the laboratory, and created new emergency and radiology departments as well as adding office space, new medical records and physiotherapy departments.

• Another wing, opened in 1988 added forty beds, and provided a service base designed to eventually handle 500 beds. Two levels of that addition house such departments as admitting, a laboratory, spacious medical imaging, a five theatre surgical suite, surgical daycare and a critical care unit.

• A $10 million expansion in 1996 added a third floor to the 1988 wing for a new obstetrical ward.

A large cafeteria and more spacious quarters for the information systems department as well as biomedical and engineering services, were added at that time.

This information can be found in the book, The Hospital on the Hill, a history of Langley Memorial Hospital 1948-1998, in Chapter 10 (Growing & Growing/ the Hospital Expansion Programs).

On behalf of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce, I extend our congratulations to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Team on winning a majority government. We look forward to working with them to ensure Canada remains competitive and Canadian businesses continue to thrive.

I also extend our appreciation to all candidates who put their names forward to serve in our local ridings, and congratulate MP Mark Warawa in the Langley-Aldergrove Riding and MP John Aldag in the new Cloverdale-Langley City Riding on their successful campaigns. We are confident that the Langleys will be well represented in Ottawa and the Chamber looks forward to working with both of them on issues of a Federal concern.

In mid-October, Vice-President Jack Nicholson, Executive Director Lynn Whitehouse, and I attended the Canadian Chamber of Commerce AGM in Ottawa. At that assembly we – along with more than 300 delegates from communities across Canada – debated and adopted 49 resolutions that will form the Canadian Chamber’s advocacy strategy.

These resolutions cover a wide variety of topics with a focus on competitiveness. I am pleased to advise that our sponsored resolution

calling for improved efficiencies and consistency concerning the collection of duties and taxes at the border was supported by the delegates and it will form part of the national Chamber’s lobby.

On behalf of Jack, Lynn, and myself, I thank the Chamber for the opportunity to represent Langley in Ottawa. Information on the AGM and a copy of our resolution is posted on the Chamber’s website.

Locally, the Board of Directors is seeking meetings with Mayor Schaffer and Mayor Froese to discuss how to move forward with regards to our regional transportation infrastructure and sustainability, and to ensure that business is at the table. Working with the BC Chamber of Commerce we will make every effort to encourage all levels of government - Federal, Provincial, Regional, and Municipal to work in cooperation with citizens and business to identify sustainable funding and develop a plan to meet our region’s transportation needs now and into the future.

The U40 Committee is working on a plan to develop business elements to expand the current program to increase the ROI for young professionals. Another consideration for this group is the potential formation of a mentorship program to further strengthen

I extend our sincere gratitude to the member businesses that sponsored the event. I also extend our gratitude to Karen Daniels and Clay St. Thomas of JRFM radio for acting as the Masters of Ceremony for the evening. Congratulations to all of the nominees and award recipients for your outstanding business practices and commitment to our community.

Scott Johnston, President

THE VOICE OF BUSINESS From the desk of Executive Director, Lynn Whitehouse …

Shop local and enjoy the holidays at home The Spirit of Christmas for me begins when the City crews put the giant snowflake on the poles in Downtown Langley. Every day the number of lights decorating the City multiplies as area businesses catch the spirit and decorate their windows.

Langley City becomes alive with an amazing display of colourful lights and ornaments, the Village of Fort Langley

is adorned in classic style, Walnut Grove, Aldergrove and Brookswood ‘dress up’ for neighbourhood friends and families, and the malls showcase the season beyond compare!

While I am not much of a ‘shopper’, when I do venture out I always support our local businesses. During the holidays I actually enjoy my shopping sprees to find the perfect gift, and I certainly appreciate

the warm smiles, friendly service and holiday greetings I get.

Many of our merchants are also friends or neighbours, or someone you have seen in the restaurant, at the arena or at the movies.

Local shops are owned by local people.

They know how important each and every one of us is to their business, and they go out of their way to take great care of us.

They remember our families and even ask about the family pet.

Before you go online to shop or decide to brave the long lineups at the border, I urge you to check out what our local shops have to offer. I take great comfort in knowing that.

When I shop locally I can return or exchange an item with ease – no shipping and packaging required. You may not be able to find absolutely everything locally, but our local shops are great for finding things – different things!

Trans Mountain Pipeline twinning Q&A Q: A:

What business interruptions would occur as part of the twinning process in our local community (Langley)? (from Trans Mountain) The short answer is that it’s still a bit early in the game for us to fully define exactly what business interruptions will look like, but the goal is to work with local businesses to minimize impact.

Subject to receiving approval for the proposed expansion project, and prior to construction, we will create a communications and notification program to ensure local businesses are aware of potential construction impacts. We have made this commitment in our NEB Application.

We have been asking businesses how they would like to stay informed about the project and how best to share construction planning information in the months ahead. TMEP is committed to ongoing engagement, it will continue to engage with residents and businesses regarding constructions plans, anticipate impacts and effects of construction and mitigation measures; in order to reduce the negative impacts of construction on the area.

We have engaged with the Township of Langley since the project was announced in the spring of 2012, and we know that they have specific interests related to the project – we are continuing to work collaboratively with them to address concerns as they arise. As we continue with communications and notifications, we would definitely be working with the Township.

Communication and notification around business interruptions would include advertisements, public general notices, area specific information handouts, and local signage. Traffic Control Plans will be developed and implemented on public roadways affected by the project, which is obviously a significant consideration for business impacts.

In keeping with the regulatory obligation to minimize impacts to the extent practicable, Trans Mountain intends to work with any directly impacted businesses to establish access plans, schedule, and pipeline alignments that minimize impacts to the businesses. Should businesses experience lost revenue as a direct result of the construction of the TMEP, Trans Mountain would intend to employ “actual loss” compensation for any reductions in revenue caused by the construction and operation of the pipeline.”

A taste of the

Islands

MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

Amid the quaint fields and barns of the Antonsen family’s third generation dairy farm in Aldergrove, sounds of the Hawaiian Islands emerge.

The steady drum of an Ipu Heke flows out of the basement of the farmhouse, followed by a patter of bare feet dancing along.

Seated on the hardwood floor, Carol Antonsen plays the traditional Hawaiian double-gourd instrument while calling out “five, six, seven, eight,” to her young dancing students.

This is the 17th year Antonsen has taught Polynesian dancing from her home studio, Hälau Hula O Ka Poli Mehana `O Lehua.

Translating to “the warmth of the lehua (a Hawaiian flower) of the heart,” her students learn the dancing and culture behind traditional Hawaiian, Tahitian and New Zealand music.

“It’s about honouring their cultures,” Antonsen said.

“If we were to have somebody watch us, we would want them to go ‘wow, they’re doing an amaz-

ing job, they’re really keeping our culture alive.’”

With a focus on making things authentic, the students — who range in age from three to mid60s — learn more than dance moves. They are taught the languages, the meanings of the songs, the geography and even local flowers and shells.

Everything from the lyrics sung to the colours of the costumes worn help to tell the stories behind the songs.

“You want to connect to your song,” Antonsen explained.

“There’s lots of beautiful Hulas that are written, and on the surface they are very poetic and they sound very nice, but actually there’s a hidden meaning.”

As part of the tradition, Antonsen researches the songs to find their original meanings — and sometimes — gets to ask the composers themselves.

“There was a really pretty song that I really loved and I didn’t know for a long time that it was actually an engagement present that this guy wrote for his wife,” she recalled.

“So when I found that out, it meant a lot more to me. I actu-

It’s a culture of respect that Antonsen has been immersed in since she began Hula at the age of eight.

“You always respect your elders, and that’s instilled in all of our dancers — to always ask for things and always give thanks for things and always ask permission,” she said.

“A big part of Hula is asking for things.”

This came into play when Antonsen opened her own dance studio. Before teaching any classes, she went back to her own instructor for permission, which is Hawaiian protocol, she said.

Beginning with a small group of students, her studio quickly grew, leading to an invite to compete in

Hawaii — something Antonsen did not feel prepared for.

“When you do a competition in Hawaii, it’s huge,” she said.

“They expect so much of you, and you have to have fresh flowers and live music, and we didn’t have musicians or anything.”

Antonsen turned to an instructor from Hawaii for help. Partnering with the Lauakea Foundation, the group not only got to compete in Hawaii, they also were invited to join the organization.

Antonsen’s studio is now one of nearly 20 in the organization that are learning authentic, traditional dancing.

“It’s a wonderful thing because we have so much amazing support,” she said.

“We are able to connect with locals. They can take us to the places where these dances come from, and they connect us with

musicians and composers so we can understand more about the dances.

“It’s really a very unique partnership. It’s brought our group totally to a new level in what we do.”

Today, Antonsen’s focus has moved away from competing, and more towards inclusion and self-awareness.

“People say, ‘what is it about Hula that is just so special?’ It’s very healing, it’s something you do for yourself that makes you feel so good inside.

“Anybody of any size or race can dance. Even if you have a bad leg, there’s Hulas you can do sitting in a chair. It’s so inclusive, it’s meant to be shared and given.”

There’s also a special connection between Langley and Hawaii that dates back nearly 200 years.

Many of the workers at the Hudson’s Bay Company’s Fort Langley post in the 1800’s were from Hawaii, and several of these workers are buried in the pioneer cemetery beside St. George’s Anglican Church.

“It is pretty unique to have a group that has that kind of connection to the Islands, yet being so far away,” Antonsen said.

“It’s really special.”

This Saturday, Nov. 7, the studio is bringing a bit of the Islands back to the Fort with a special recital.

Taking place at the Chief Seapass Theatre at 2 p.m., the students are performing 29 routines to Hawaiian Hula, Tahitian Aparima (the kiss of the hands) and Otea (a drum dance), and New Zealand Poi. Tickets are available at the door or at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1362398.

Three banners for Langley schools Walnut Grove Grade 8 girls, junior girls, Mountain junior boys win Valley banners GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports

E VA N SEAL Black Press

Brookswood Bobcats’ Trevor Weltzin (#1068) and Curtis Coombs (#1065) competed in the senior boys division of the Fraser Valley cross country championships last week (Oct. 28) at South Surrey’s Crescent Park.

The Walnut Grove Gators ran the perfect race.

The Grade 8 girls cross country team captured the Fraser Valley banner on Wednesday (Oct. 28) at Crescent Park in South Surrey with a score of 10, the lowest possible score.

“This was the first time we had a perfect score,” said Gators coach Don Sparks.

“This has never happened to our team before.”

A team is awarded points based on when they cross the finish line, with the lowest total winning.

And the Gators’ quartet of Kelsey Stelnick, Emma Rolfson, Holley Harrison and Cassidy Cardle finished second, fourth, fifth and ninth, respectively. But among those in the team competition, they were the top four and were thus awarded one, two, three and four points for a total of 10. The team had an average time of 11:33.75.

By comparison, second-place Semiahmoo had 35 points and average time of 12:57.48.

“We didn’t know how strong the other teams were so we had no clue how well we were going to do,” Sparks said.

But Sparks knew his team was strong.

Throughout the season, Har-

rison had been their top runner, but when she had a tough race at Fraser Valleys — albeit still finishing top five — Stelnick and Rolfson rose up.

“She has been our strongest runner all season but she didn’t have the strongest race that day and the other girls stepped up,” he said.

And this was one of two banners Walnut Grove teams won as the junior girls also came out on top.

The Gators quartet of Grace Chalk (ninth overall), Samantha Matthewman (16th), Sarah Buckingham (21st) and Katie MacEwen (24th overall) combined to score 48 points, eight better than second-place Sullivan Heights, who had 56.

Walnut Grove’s average time was 19:39.73, which was actually slower than Sullivan Heights’ 19:37.99.

The junior race was won by Langley Christian’s Brooke Mussche, who crossed the finish line in 17:52.64, nearly eight seconds ahead of her nearest competitor.

Walnut Grove’s senior teams also found the podium at Fraser Valley with the boys finishing second and the girls third.

Ford McMahon, Paul Buckingham, Will Riley and Jake Robertson combined for 37 points, just five back of first place Sardis.

“The boys were crushed,” Sparks said. “They were gunning for first.”

Sardis runners scored three, four, 12 and 13 points while Walnut Grove clocked in at seven, nine, 10 and 11.

The Gator senior girls — Isabella Boccia, Chelsea Borrowdale, Emma Deardon and Breanne DeJong — were third with 61 points, behind Semiahmoo’s 41 points and Earl Marriott’s 56.

••• The R.E. Mountain Eagles junior boys team also won the Fraser Valley cross-country banner.

In the team competition, Mountain had the top three finishers in Zach Wyatt, Tate Wyatt and Jordan Schmidt, with Danny Lee scoring 35 points for a score of 41, which was three better than Holy Cross. The Mountain runners had an average time of 17:05.13.

“That was the goal, to win the banner,” said Mountain coach Debbi McKinnon.

“The boys have been training really hard since the summer.

“They felt that they could do it and they went after it.”

And the Yorkson Creek Wolves Grade 8 squad was third with 39 points.

Felix Allen was third overall (and second among team runners) with Jacob Park, Luke Chung and Lance Pablo rounding out the team.

The runners will compete at the provincial championships Nov. 7 at Vancouver’s Jericho Beach Park.

Clutch save helps Spartans advance

GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

With the ball looking like it was destined for the low left corner, Ally Williamson made a diving stop in the 90th minute to preserve a 1-0 victory and send the Trinity Western Spartans through to the Canada West Final 6 championships.

“The last bit of the game was pretty hectic in our end,” Williamson said. “Our de-

fence showed a lot of heart blocking shots left and right.”

As for the crucial save, Williamson said she knew it was late in the game, but it was all reactionary.

The victory helped the Trinity Western women’s soccer team defeat the visiting Alberta Pandas 1-0 on Friday night at TWU’s Rogers Field.

Rachel Hutchinson gave the Spartans all the offence

they would need, as the rookie midfielder struck in the eighth minute.

Seina Kashima raced down the wing and made a nifty move to get past her defender before sending a perfect cross into the box to the foot of Hutchinson.

“I thought our early goal settled us down. Maybe in some ways we thought it was going to be comfortable,” said Spartans women’s soc-

cer coach Graham Roxburgh.

“I thought we just got a little nervy in the second part of the first half and gave the ball away needlessly.”

“In the second half, I thought our back four held really well and at times kept possession of the ball differently than the first half,” he added. “But we knew Alberta was going to have a push and I though Ally Williamson showed why I think she’s the

best keeper in Canada.”

Williamson finished with five saves for the clean sheet and the Spartans stretched their streak of not allowing a goal to 542 minutes. They have also allowed just two goals over the past dozen games.

The Spartans travel to Saskatchewan this weekend for the Final 6 championships and they draw the MacEwen Griffins in the quarter-finals

tomorrow (Thursday).

••• The Trinity Western Spartans men’s soccer team got a goal in the third minute from first-year striker Leighton Johnson to score the upset victory over the host Calgary Dinos on Saturday night.

Johnson sends Spartans through to semifinals From Page 28

“Everything, from the weather to their home field, favoured Calgary, but the boys came out and stole the milk off the porch,” said Spartans coach Pat Rohla.

“You have to give credit to how we defended the front of our net. We were difficult to break down. We got the early goal and had to defend the rest of the way. To

everybody’s credit, (Calgary) could have got one, but we could have got two. It was really back and forth.”

Andrew Hicks stopped all eight Calgary shots for the victory as the Dinos lost at home for the first time all season.

Rohla also singled out Brayden Gant for his play in the midfield.

“I thought everyone put in a good effort in

a difficult place to play against a well-coached team,” the coach added.

The win sets up a match on Friday against the Victoria Vikes, a team which has beaten the Spartans twice already.

“Maybe the third time’s the charm,” Rohla said. “It’ll be a difficult opponent for sure.

“We’re ecstatic and pleased with this win, but we’re not finished.”

Spin to Win

In game one of the soccer season, the Credo Christian Kodiaks tamed the Southridge Storm 5-0.

But in the two senior boys’ soccer teams’ most recent meeting, it was a whole other story.

The Storm jumped out to a 3-0 lead and then held off a Credo second-half lead to capture the Single A Fraser Valley championship with a 3-1 victory to capture the banner on Credo Christian’s home field on Oct. 27.

One of the biggest differences between the two games was the Storm having a different goalkeeper between the pipes this time.

“He was fantastic,” said Credo coach Tom VanderHorst.

“We are disappointed to lose (but)Southridge played a great game and they deserved to win.”

Part of the problem in the Fraser Valley finals was that the Kodiaks were not accustomed to facing adversity.

During the season, Credo Christian won their games by multiple goals.

And when the Storm took a 2-0 lead on a questionable goal shortly before the half — it appeared the ball did not cross the line — the Kodiaks were in an unfamiliar position.

“When the ref made the call for that second goal, it got us off our game and it took us too long to adjust and deal with that,” VanderHorst said.

“It was our own fault for not moving on and when a team dwells on a call for too long, they usually get off their game.

“That’s exactly what happened with us and we have to learn from that.”

It was the team’s first loss in 15 games this season, which also includes winning a tournament in Campbell River and the Christian Schools’ Tournament.

Credo will get a chance to bounce back from the disappointment of losing the Fraser Valley final as they have qualified for the Single A provincial championships, which run Nov. 5 to 7 in Kamloops.

The held a team meeting on Friday and the coach said the players are using this loss as motivation.

“I have a really determined bunch and they have learned that you have to earn everything,” VanderHorst said.

The Kodiaks have nine players back from last year’s squad, which placed third at the provincial championships.

“The guys are using this (loss) as motivation for provincials.”

OBITUARIES

February 1, 1947 - October 22, 2015 Kirby passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 22, 2015 after many months of cancerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shattering intrusions into his life.

Predeceased by parents George and Grace Bunnell, he leaves behind his loving wife Pat, daughter Angie (Crystal), son Kyle (Janet), and grandchildren Keenan, Kamylle, Elwynn, Sammi, and Gratian; brother Fred (Anthea), in-laws Maisie, Gordon, and Barbara Carncross; nephews and niece Corey Bunnell, Scott and Caroline Carncross.

Kirby never forgot his East Vancouver roots where he lived until moving to New Westminster at age 11. He maintained a lifelong passion for history, which he studied at UBC; his prodigious appetite for knowledge made him our â&#x20AC;&#x153;Googleâ&#x20AC;? before it existed.

Combining this with his love of nature and of travel, he gave his family wonderful memories of long summer trips, and inspired many Cubs, Scouts, and leaders with his knowledge, skills and humour.

Eccentric and unique describe him, plus his â&#x20AC;&#x153;well-developedâ&#x20AC;? sense of humour. He sought to give back to his community, contributing his talents to any group he was associated with, notably of late the Fellowship of AA. The family is very appreciative of the medical support he received, especially by Palliative Care teams and Dr. Len Delair.

A Celebration of Kirbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, November 21, 2015 at SouthRidge Fellowship Baptist, 22756 48th Ave, Langley.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a gift to BC Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital at bcchf.ca

TRITES Lorraine It is with great sadness that the family of Lorraine â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lollyâ&#x20AC;? Trites announces her passing on October 24, 2015. She was born in Vancouver and moved to Langley 45 years ago. Lorraine and Jim spent many happy years as hobby farmers in Langley. They enjoyed spending summers at their trailer in Pender Harbor with their many friends; fishing, sharing meals, playing card games and swapping stories.

Lorraine never turned down an opportunity to be with her family or her friends. They were everything to her. Lolly is survived by her daughter, Kellie White (Walter) of Langley, son Jim McClurg (Danielle) of Kamloops, son Dannie Trites (Angie) of Mission, son Doug McClurg (Karen) of Langley, and brother Andy Dean of Comox. Lorraine enjoyed 12 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren, all of whom brought immense joy, love and happiness to her life. Lolly is predeceased by her husband of 40 years: Jim Trites, daughter: Charlene Beaulieu, son: Barrie McClurg, and grandson: Douglas McClurg, Jr. We are celebrating momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life at her last home, The Avalon Gardens, on Sunday, November 8th from 2:00 - 4:00 pm. Friends are welcome to come. Lorraine lived a life full of fun, laughter and love. Online condolences to the family may be made to:
