Residents at Langley City’s Paddington Station condo complex were rocked by an explosion Sunday night that left a man and woman badly burned and a toddler lucky to be unharmed.

Langley RCMP believe the explosion was likely caused by a mishap while using drugs.

“We found some drug paraphernalia inside the unit.

The drugs were for private use, it wasn’t a meth lab,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Largy.

PETE Langley City M ETHOT Fire Rescue was called to the condo complex at 5650 201A Ave. at around 10:30 p.m. When fire trucks arrived, many people in the large complex had already evacuated, after hearing the explosion.

“We were also met by two adults and a small child.

“The male was badly burned on his whole upper body and the female had inhalation burns around her mouth and nose,” said Langley City deputy fire chief Pete Methot.

The child was in another room at the time of the explosion and was unharmed.

While the couple was rushed to hospital, the child was left with relatives, said Methot.

“The male was in a lot of pain.

He has second degree burns to most of his upper body.

“He was taken to the burn unit at Vancouver General Hospital,” Methot said.

Police were called to the scene because they thought they were attending a fight that had been called in, with people screaming, he said.

“That was actually the two involved in the fire who were screaming, so there wasn’t any fight going on,” he noted.

The explosion came from the stove, Methot said. The blast came with such force it blew the oven door right off. It blew other items from the kitchen into the living room.

There was a flash fire that saw flames climb the stove and catch onto the microwave and cupboards above. The sprinklers were activated, which extinguished the fire.

“Seeing that there was no risk of fire at that point, we worked to quickly shut off the sprinkler system to minimize water damage to the units below.

“We were also mindful of the cold, so we got people back inside the building quickly,” Methot said.

Langley RCMP continue to investigate.

‘I’m going to try and keep going’ Owner of a Walnut Grove collectibles store says he is losing staff and money following rash of smash-and-grab robberies MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

An established Langley collectibles store is still open for business, but the owner is feeling defeated after a recent rash of break-ins nearly shut him down.

“I’m going to try and keep going, but I’m losing staff and losing money. To be honest it makes me feel sick when I think about what has all happened,” said Chris Wiser of Wiser’s Wide World of Collectibles.

On Jan. 5, a vehicle smashed into the boarded-up bay door of the store, at 201 Street and 96 Avenue, hitting the sprinkler system and causing a flood. It was the third break-in in 40 days.

According to Langley RCMP, someone tried to gain access on Dec. 15. On Dec. 18, police responded to an alarm at 4 a.m. and found a pickup truck with its engine running and lights on at the scene. They blocked in the truck but nobody was inside it. In that case, the truck was used to smash into the building. The thieves made off with around $3,500 in hockey cards. Police dogs were called but were unable to track the suspects. Police seized the vehicle.

On Dec. 30, someone tried to drill through the plywood installed following the Dec. 18 break-in, said police.

“This time [on Jan. 5, the smash of the plywood] hit the sprinkler destroying a lot of the store. After 28 years I may have to walk away as my heart is broken,” Wiser wrote on the Wiser’s Collectibles Facebook page.

D A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s

Chris Wiser of Wiser’s Wide World of Collectibles is still in business despite repeated robberies of his Walnut Grove store.

The flood damaged a lot of the inventory. Police said video surveillance has been obtained and the investigation continues.

During an attempted robbery in late November, a staff member was pepper sprayed in the face.

It’s been a terrible run for a family business that has been the go-to place for Langley families on the hunt for everything from Beanie Babies to comic books

and Pokemon.

Wiser believes he is being targeted by a particular group of people.

“They are going after the same stuff, and it is the same amount of people involved in the break-ins,” he said. Wiser would like to see police do more to patrol the area. He is now having to pay to have security on site.

“We’ve been around a long time and tons of Langley residents come see us regular-

ly. It would be a shame if we weren’t here anymore.”

Despite the challenges Wiser faces, he is still putting on a pre-release event for Oath of Gate Watch this weekend. Events are taking place all weekend and registration is required.

If you know anything about any of these break-ins, call Langley RCMP at 604-5323200 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Township focused on rural development in south Langley Brookswood-Fernridge neighbourhoods formally separated as council takes ‘baby step’ toward creating new community plan MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

The controversial Brookswood-Fernridge community plan is back on the table, as Township council took its first “baby step” toward redevelopment during Monday afternoon’s meeting.

Council has voted to separate Brookswood from Fernridge, focusing only on the rural areas for redevelopment.

They have directed staff to look at the cost of updating the 1987 community plan for Fernridge and to create a map highlighting the exact areas for consideration.

Part of the confusion, it seems, is that there is no definitive line dividing the Brookswood area from Fernridge, Mayor

Jack Froese told The Times.

“There’s an area of Brookswood that is already developed, and it’s been developed for years, and there’s the area thats undeveloped acreages that have been looking for development for years,” he said.

“It’s not going to be changing existing subdivisions and existing homes.”

Council’s vote comes after several delegations by Fernridge residents expressed frustration that “nothing has happened” since a draft update to the Brookswood/ Fernridge community plan was turned down by council in 2014. When new options were presented in March of last year, council voted to postpone a decision until the standing committee had presented its

embrace LED

report for a Township-wide public engagement strategy.

Resident Sam Rockson said in the 35 years he’s lived at 200 Street just south of 32 Avenue, “absolutely nothing has ever happened in the area.” He is concerned the lack of attention has led to an increase in illegal grow-ops and derelict houses.

Ron Goble has lived in Fernridge for 42 years, and sees potential issues with the rapid development in Surrey just a few blocks away.

“We’re concerned about the lack of planning in Brookswood-Fernridge to be prepared for the huge changes happening in the near future,” he said.

Other concerns brought up at the meet-

ing were a lack of streetlights and sidewalks along roads, and higher than average taxes on properties labelled as having development potential.

Township engineer director Ramin Sefi said the new map detailing the proposed area could be brought to council as soon as the next meeting on Jan. 25.

“This, as it has been referred to already, is a baby step of commitment,” said Coun.

Blair Whitmarsh.

“It’s a commitment from council to move forward with the public engagement process. This is not a speeding up process. This is not rushing to try to make a decision.

This is actually 50 years in the making. So this is a long time coming.”

Mechanical failure is the likely cause of a hard landing that closed down the runway at Langley Regional Airport for three hours on Saturday night.

Airport general manager Guy Miller told The Times it appears the nose wheel on a privately-owned twin-engined Piper Aztec collapsed when the plane set down around 7 p.m.

Miller said it doesn’t appear that the below-freezing temperatures and slight frost at the time had any effect on the landing.

“The pavement (on the runway) was dry and braking conditions were good,” Miller said.

The aircraft, which flies out of Langley, was returning from a trip to Calgary with four people on board.

No one was hurt, but the runway was closed to air traffic until about 10 p.m. when the Transportation Safety Board approved moving the plane.

“It was just a matter of getting it off the runway,” Miller said.

Police, fire and ambulance crews responded to the call.

Robbery victim attacked with knife MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

One man was taken to hospital with cuts to his hands, torso and face following a robbery of his apartment in the 20100 block of 56 Avenue Saturday, at around 7 p.m.

The 32-year-old man was taken to hospital with non-life

threatening injuries.

Langley RCMP said the victim and suspects are known to each other.

The suspects were let into the man’s home where they started looking for something.

When that couldn’t be found, they stole several items. An altercation ensued and one of the

suspects cut the victim with a knife.

The two suspects fled on foot. Since the robbery, Langley RCMP serious crime unit has identified the suspects and are recommending charges and seeking warrants for their arrests, said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Largy.

Fibromyalgia foundation is latest Langley charity to be hit by thieves MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

SURLANG

What kind of person steals from a charity?

That is the question Fibromyalgia Well Spring Foundation Thrift Shoppe volunteers were asking after they arrived at the store on Jan. 7 to find the front door smashed and money missing.

Using a piece of concrete left behind at the scene, the thief broke the glass of the front door around 5 a.m., and headed straight to the back where the till is kept. The charity store keeps only a small amount of cash on the premises, so the thief didn’t get away with much money, but the deductible to replace the door is costly.

“It’s really bad timing as we are on the heels of fundraising for our big walk from our store in Langley to Banff on May 24,” said Well Spring media relations co-ordinator Leia Kett.

Several of the foundation’s board members, including founder Cheryl Young, arrived shortly after police did and spent the morning cleaning up the glass.

“A lot of people rely on our store, so we worked hard to clean up the mess and get open,” said Kett.

Fibromyalgia Well Spring Foundation board member and full-time volunteer Sally Kotselenis stands in front of the boarded-up door after the popular thrift store was broken into on Jan. 7.

There are several full-time volunteers who run the store and around 15 others who are there part-time, many of whom have special needs.

Fibromyalgia Well Spring Foundation opened its thrift store in Heritage Square, in the 20600 block of Fraser Highway, five years ago.

Since opening, the store has been busy, but around it numerous tenants of the mall have left, including anchor tenant Envision Credit Union and, more recently, a pizza shop.

A former Vietnamese restaurant has sat empty for some time,

with homeless people periodically setting up camp under the building’s overhang.

In fact, the thrift store has been helping the homeless for some time, said Kett.

At Christmas, volunteers created care bags and handed them out around the City. One of the regular homeless people came around on the day of the break-in and they supplied a coat to her because she looked cold, she said.

The Foundation offers support groups for people with invisible illness and their families, as well as helping out the homeless with

An often-missed risk for cognitive decline or dementia is the use of some fairly common medications.

A group of drugs, called anti-cholinergics (which includes antihistamines, tricyclic antidepressants and some medications used for overactive bladder) has been strongly implicated in increasing the likelihood of dementia (23 per cent of patients). Eighty per cent of those patients went on to develop Alzheimer’s. These risks occurred with sporadic or chronic use – even at low doses.

Resveratrol, a polyphenol found in many foods – but most popularly in red wine and dark chocolate – appears to have some protective properties when it comes to the brain changes that typically precede the development of Alzheimer’s Disease. An American study, published in September’s Neurology, was preliminary and did not show improved results for mental state tests (nor was it designed to do so), but it offers an interesting area for further investigations.

People often diet for weight management, diabetes or cardiovascular health – but what about a diet for your brain? Researchers examined the MIND diet, a hybrid of the Mediterranean and DASH diets (both leading diets for health), and found it slowed brain aging. In fact, over the 4.7 years of the study, it led to the equivalent of being 7.5 years younger! The MIND diet: good for your heart and your head!

As counter-balance to reports that activities which stimulate the brain improve cognition comes a report that loneliness and excessive television promote cognitive decline. Presented at the Alzheimer’s

You & The Law

PRESENTS Wrongfully fired – Must you accept your old job back?

Say you’re let go from your long-standing job even though you did nothing wrong.

You didn’t get reasonable advance notice.

What are your rights?

Normally you can get significant compensation, equivalent to the income you lost by too-short or no notice. But you have to try and minimize your loss (mitigate, in legal lingo) by looking for replacement work.

Now, say your boss changes his tune and offers you your old job back. Do you lose your right to compensation for the wrongful dismissal if you don’t go back?

Not necessarily, as a recent B.C. appeal court decision explains.

Brenda (names changed) had worked as a lab technician for over eight years in a dental lab that made crowns. She took a medical stress leave in April, 2011 due to her husband’s illness and son’s serious accident. When she returned to work midJuly, she was told she was being laid off for lack of work. She was given her record of employment and a letter of reference.

But Brenda believed she’d been wrongly fired.

She looked for other work. She sent out more than a hundred applications for various jobs without success. She retrained and finally found work as a bookkeeper in August the following year. In the meantime, she went to court over her wrongful dismissal.

In court, her employer admitted in the end that Brenda had been wrongfully let go.

But the company argued she’d long since been offered her old job back – with the same income – so she should only be compensated to the point in time when that offer kicked in.

But it turned out Brenda wasn’t being unreasonable by not returning to her old workplace.

When the lab company first offered Brenda her job back in late September, 2011, they didn’t offer her back pay for the three months since she’d been let go. (They claimed she wasn’t entitled to this.) Later return-to-work offers also never made Brenda whole for being wrongly let go.

She’d be at loggerheads with her employer about significant back pay if she’d returned to work.

As well, Brenda had lost confidence in her boss, who owned the lab company and worked with her. He had taped a couple of his conversations with her, without her knowledge. And he’d discussed her situation with another employee – saying he agreed Brenda would be too embarrassed to come back to work.

The appeal court pointed out that while an employee has to try and reduce the losses a wrongful dismissal brings about, she doesn’t have to go back into a hostile, embarrassing or humiliating workplace.

An employment relationship is based on mutual trust and confidence. Employers too have to act in good faith. When Brenda’s boss secretly taped conversations with her, and breached confidentiality by discussing her with another employee, he broke that fundamental bond of trust.

The appeal court decided Brenda was entitled to full compensation for her wrongful dismissal.

Studio puts women in charge at no charge MIR ANDA GATHER COLE Tim es Reporter

A few simple self-defence tricks can go a long way for women in dangerous situations, and Revolution Martial Arts and Fitness wants everyone to have the opportunity to learn them.

The martial arts studio is offering Women in Charge — a free four-week self-defence program for women. The first session started on Jan. 6.

Using Brazilian juijitsu techniques, women of all strength levels and sizes will be able to complete the manoeuvres, said Stacey Duffy, program director. “They will learn simple, easy, very non-taxing things that can get them out of very uncomfortable and dangerous situations,� she said. “The way that it works is, it’s

very close and very uncomfortable and very tight. Women (will learn) simple collar chokes where they use the power of the collar and the other person’s weight on themselves — and they’ll be able to get out that way. It’s very simple stuff that anyone can do at any size and any strength level and be successful at it.�

The sessions are 45 minutes each and are taught by professional instructors at the studio.

So far, 140 people have signed up for January, and registration is now open for the next round in April. “The whole thing about this is that women are empowered and they are able to protect themselves even if they weigh 90 or 100 pounds,� Duffy said. “They don’t have to be super

The studio’s goal — and the reason they are offering the lessons for free — is to have as many women as possible learn self-defence techniques. Duffy encourages those who cannot make their Wednesday night sessions to enrol in classes elsewhere. “It’s important for every woman to know that as intimidating as it may seem or look from the outside, going into some sort of self-defence program, even outside of this, is beneficial,� she said. “We want everyone to be able to do this for themselves.�

Construction along 200 Street between 53 Avenue and Fraser Highway is expected to continue until summer. Although much of the roadway looks finished, a top layer of asphalt is still needed in some sections.

Work along 200 Street could continue until summer – City MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The construction saga along 200 Street in the City of Langley is expected to continue into the summer, as utility upgrade work runs over schedule.

Drivers and nearby residents may recall the portion of road between 53 Avenue and Fraser Highway was first torn up in January, 2015 by Metro Vancouver to construct a new sewer main along a right of way. The City of Langley then used the opportunity to add capacity and performance upgrades to the water, sanitary and storm water utilities that run beneath 200 Street from Fraser Highway, south to 50 Avenue.

Originally, the work was to be completed by October 2015, but unexpected obstacles beneath the asphalt, bad weather and additional curb work have all led to project delays, said Rick Bomhof, City director of engineering.

“There’s a number of factors,” he said.

“Underground you never know what you’re going to find, so there’s various things that occurred that just caused delays. You’re kind of fighting against winter and once you get into the colder weather you can’t complete all the work.”

Although the road appears smooth right now, in most areas this is not the final product. The Metro Vancouver portions only have the heavier base course of asphalt completed, and that still needs to be ground out to make way for a smoother top lift, Bomhof said.

“One positive part about the delays is if there is any additional settlement along the road that will be dealt with before the top lift has been done,” he added.

The City hopes the work can be completed by March or April, but admits it could carry on until the summer.

SURREY LANGLEY

da president Ian Anderson has called “the most highly scrutinized pipeline project by the NEB in history.”

The NEB is expected to hear intervenor arguments starting Jan. 19 in Burnaby, including affected municipalities. Vancouver is also opposed, arguing that a seven-fold increase in crude oil tanker traffic on Burrard Inlet represents an unacceptable risk.

The Trans Mountain pipeline has been operating one line for 60 years, running from northern Alberta through the B.C. Interior at Kamloops to its marine terminal in Burnaby, passing through north Langley.

A branch line runs south to supply oil refineries on the coast of Washington state, and the pipeline has already been twinned on the Alberta side.

Kinder Morgan is hoping for an NEB decision to recommend proceeding by May. Final approval is up to the federal cabinet.

*

The B.C. government is close to releasing its plan to provide “world-leading” prevention and response to land-based oil spills, but that progress isn’t enough to change its opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

Environment Minister Mary Polak announced Monday the province’s final submission to the federal review of the project confirms it still has not met B.C.’s five conditions for approval of heavy oil pipelines.

Polak said she is preparing to present legislation this spring to establish new standards for land protection, after discussions with Trans Mountain operator Kinder Morgan Canada and other companies.

B.C.’s final submission to the National Energy Board continues to recommend the pipeline twinning not be approved, but Polak said that is not the final word.

“We have been encouraged by the number of government and industry leaders who have also taken up the challenge and accepted the need to proceed along our five conditions, but we have not at this time seen evidence in the NEB hearing process that those conditions can yet be met,” Polak said.

B.C.’s five conditions, presented in 2012, include NEB approval, “world-leading” land and marine spill prevention and response, meeting legal obligations to aboriginal communities and an unspecified “fair share” of provincial benefits from any new heavy oil pipeline project.

Kinder Morgan issued a statement Monday saying it continues to work with B.C., but requirements for aboriginal consultation, spill prevention and revenue sharing can’t be met by the company alone.

The project already faces 150 draft conditions from the NEB, in what Kinder Morgan Cana-

OPINION

Brenda Anderson | 604.514.6751 | newsroom@langleytimes.com

Social media has a conscience Social media gets a bad rap a lot of the time.

Often it deserves it.

Critics don’t have to look far for evidence of its — and our — failings.

Sites offer a grand showcase of narcissism and misinformation, not to mention a whole host of other negative attributes, including greed, envy, paranoia and racism.

But it may be that we are too willing to blame the mirror for what it is reflecting — just as many are ready to shoot the messenger whenever more traditional media report something we don’t like or don’t agree with.

Social media is an easy mark and an easy scapegoat — but really it’s only as good or bad as the people who post things on it.

And many of those individuals are good, basically decent people. Their greatest crime is using social media to share the occasional laugh, a thought-provoking article or two, a chunk of positive philosophy, a cute critter or some other thing of beauty — whether shaped by nature, or the hand and eye of an artist.

Sometimes it’s even a vehicle for empathy and public spirit — evidence that people haven’t lost their basic, human connection, for all our obsession with technology.

Take the case of a father and daughter from Saskatoon en route to Victoria who lost almost all their belongings when someone stole their rented U-Haul truck and trailer in South Surrey just before New Year’s Eve. When their plight was posted on social media, many responded positively by sharing the post. They felt for the family in its predicament — identified with how it would feel to lose everything in the middle of a momentous, and no doubt stressful, household move.

Mainstream media took notice, circulating the appeal for information on the missing truck and trailer both in print and on the airwaves.

And good came of all the attention. An Abbotsford resident noticed a U-Haul truck apparently abandoned in a parking lot and called police. It turned out to be the missing truck, and while most of the family’s possessions were gone, some irreplaceable photos and other mementos were recovered.

It’s worth remembering that some good can come of our current fascination with social media — particularly the next time we’re tempted to decry it for emphasizing our lack of connection and empathy.

vacant lot has been left sitting empty on 48 Avenue, next to the former Township civic facility since it relocated to Willoughby several years ago.

Perhaps there is something in the works for that space. It seems like an obvious site for a condominium project.

Willoughby and (to an even greater degree) Clayton just across the Surrey border are examples of what can happen when development goes into overdrive, leading to narrow, busy roads, with nowhere to park and few places for kids to play. Forget street hockey or a game of kick-the-can.

More people are coming to Langley every day and they will, of course, need someplace to live. The less physical space they take up, the better for the environment. Eventually, we’re told, transit will catch up, leading to fewer vehicles on the roads.

But there is still a balance to be struck, and a neighbourhood’s liveability must be given due consideration. That word means something different to everyone. So while developers ensure council hears their position each time they come forward with a new project, residents must follow Brookswood’s example and make sure their voices are heard as well.

LETTERS

Brenda Anderson | 604.514.6751 | newsroom@langleytimes.com

Responses missed the point of guns letter Editor: The three letters in response to my previous letter need a response.

Unfortunately, the writers seemed to have skipped over the second and third paragraphs, which said: “Whether on the evening TV news or local radio talk shows, it seems that all are ready to condemn the Americans for their Second Amendment and their failure to get control of guns.”

The Canadian gun laws are so much superior, they opine.

The letter had nothing to do with the homicide rate or population. It had to do with supposed effectiveness of Canada’s highly restrictive gun laws compared to the far less restrictive American gun laws.

The main argument — reiterated again just this week by President Obama — is

that gun control advocates want more restrictive gun laws to keep guns out of the hands of those who would use them in a homicide.

Well, Canada already has those far more restrictive gun laws that Obama lusts for, yet the few Canadians who are deemed eligible to own guns use their guns in over six times the rate of homicides as do the Americans.

Or, could it be something else? Maybe it is that the restricted Canadian guns are used six times more often in homicides because millions of Canadians have no equivalent way to protect themselves?

I would postulate that an American gun is far less likely to be used in a homicide because the bad guys never know which

“good guy” Americans are also carrying a gun and can respond in kind.

Mr. Nielsen had the most thoughtful response: “It isn’t the guns that are the problem; it is the attitude of the people. . .

But then, if we Canadians are so benevolent about guns, thinking only of sport and hunting, of what use are the heavy restrictions on Canadians having guns?

After all, Switzerland, where virtually every home is expected to have a firearm has a homicide rate only 41 per cent the rate of Canada’s homicide rate.

That would make the Swiss almost infinitely more benevolent than Canadians, where few homes are allowed to have a firearm — something I find hard to believe.

Once again, the question isn’t homicide

to population rates, but the question is just how effective restrictive gun laws are.

If we are as benevolent as Mr. Nielsen suggests, why do we need them? If they are supposed to prevent homicides, why are Canadian guns used in homicides six times more frequently than Americans’ guns?

An analysis of five years worth of statistics collected by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Justice Statistics National Crime Victimization Survey puts the number where the presence of a gun stops a serious crime — either violent or against property — from happening at about 67,740 times a year.

PAUL M. BOWMAN ALDERGROVE

Warawa has had little Don’t impose cost of impact during his tenure water service on those Editor: I totally agree with Eric O’Dell’s statement that conservative MP Warawa had little to do with the release of José Figueroa from the Langley church sanctuary.

Unlike him though, I never made the mistake of voting for him.

MP Warawa has had little to do with anything

during his tenure here in the Langleys — nothing but a mouthpiece for failed conservative policies.

We can get all that garbage from the media. We don’t need a highly paid government hack to tell us what their policies were.

And I emphasize “were” as we all know they no

longer are in power.

It’s truly unfortunate that the Conservative enclave of well-funded fundamentalist believers here in Langley keep getting him elected.

A very poor return on their dollar, I’d say JEFF LAURIE, LANGLEY

Council should name Timms Centre room after Dave Hall Editor: I must admit when I lived in the Township of Langley, I was not a great fan of Dave Hall.

But when I moved to Langley City, my opinion changed.

I found out that Coun. Hall was someone who really cared about his community and the people who lived there.

I got to know him a bit better when he showed up, year after year, as a community volunteer with the Terry Fox Run. He arrived without fanfare and never asked for acknowledgment or recognition.

Though I do not live in Langley City any longer and my opinion may be moot, I think it would be a nice gesture on behalf of the current mayor and council to consider naming one of the meeting rooms in the brand new Timms Community Centre in honour of Coun. Hall.

He fought long and hard for this beautiful recreation centre that will serve the citizens of both Langley City and Langley Township.

LILIANNE FULLER, LANGLEY

who don’t want it Editor: Last fall, ballots were sent out to over 160 property owners on 232 Street, 48 Avenue and Fraser Highway, to see if they were in favour of receiving GVRD water from the new East Langley water supply line.

Each property received a cost estimate for the “benefit” of having it placed on their street, and some of the extra costs if they wanted to connect to it.

The petition was rejected by the voters, but no notification of the results were sent out to the property owner concerned, “because it costs money to send out such information”.

The real reason for this lack of information seems to be that staff is working on an agenda to ask council for another petition vote, this time excluding some of the areas that mostly voted no.

Whatever happened to open and transparent governance, with public consultation?

I realize that there are those who would like to receive this water, but that is no reason to impose these exorbitant costs on the majority of us who don’t need or want it.

With global warming, dropping water levels in the reservoirs and ever-increasing water restrictions, water has to be treated

as a precious resource and saved for areas that need it most. This is not one of those areas.

If council approves the plan to ignore the first vote and proceed with a second one, then maybe all of the voters who voted no should be taken off the voting list, leaving those who want it to vote on a project with the costs recalculated and divided amongst them.

Anyone wanting to connect at a later date would then be subject to late-comer fees.

Those who think that receiving GVRD water will be a benefit should consider the wonderful taste of chlorinated water, with increasingly restricted use during the summer months.

Given council’s proven inability to keep tax and utility fee increases even close to the rate of inflation, a rapidly increasing annual cost for this product can be expected.

Maybe, in a show of concern for the taxpayers’ dollar, council will consider the unnecessary cost of another vote and just respect the wishes of the majority who voted no the first time.

Maybe.

SPONSOR OF THE MONTH

P.L.A.Y. (Professional Live Arts for Youth) helps kids grow, play and have fun P.L.A.Y. (Professional Live Arts for Youth) is a non-profit company that was created to ensure that every family had accessible and affordable options in the arts. There are too many families that choose not to enroll their kids in the arts because it’s not affordable and this is unacceptable.

The arts are pivotal in expanding the imaginations of youth and technology is consuming their attention.

The arts (drama, dance, song, musical theatre, art and writing) are slowly becoming the last class children are choosing to enroll in and we fear that imagination and creativity will be lost soon; our goal is help kids grow, play and have fun through these classes.

P.L.A.Y.’s mandate is to connect with communities and together find arts programming that local families will enjoy. We research each city and assess the programming they each currently offer and hopefully we can work together to provide arts classes in one way or another. Some communities prefer after school programming, while others enjoy evening and camp style classes. The goal is to ensure every child has access to arts programming regardless of their financial situation.

We do this through scholarships and subsidy that require no proof of income at all. Parents are not required to provide any documentation that states they are in need. We feel there is no need for families to prove themselves, asking for help can be hard enough. The only requirement for scholarship of subsidy is that they contact us and either ask or have a friend ask for them, that’s it. We are able to do this because of funding.

The Barbara Howard Student Arts Program is our main funder. Barbara Howard was the first person

of colour to compete for Canada on an International stage and was the first minority hired as a teacher by the Vancouver School Board. She currently lives in Burnaby and loves the arts; this fund is held in her name.

Currently we provide classes in Langley, Maple Ridge, Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, Burnaby and North Vancouver and we have plans to continue to expand.

P.L.A.Y. will continue to provide drama, dance, movement, comic book and musical theatre classes as long as there are children who want to take them.

New year will see Chamber continue objectives set at July’s planning session Happy Hogmanay! I hope that everyone enjoyed the Holiday Season. It is astonishing that the first half of this term is complete!

The Board of Directors has been working diligently on the strategic objectives identified at the Planning Session last July with a focus on support for local business, transportation, business attraction and retention, succession planning, and member engagement.

First of all, we began this term with the purchase and relocation of the Chamber operations to our new facilities. This was accomplished through the indefatigable commitment of time and expertise of the Office Facilities Task Force.

On the Member Engagement front, we made some upgrades and improvements to the Sponsor of the Month Program. I am happy to report the changes instituted were very well received by the membership and we have sponsors confirmed up to June, 2016. We express our gratitude to our past, present, and future sponsors for your support and allowing us to keep the costs of our programs as affordable as possible!

The “Open Late For Business” networking sessions have also been well received and host businesses are confirmed through to October, 2016. For these events, member

businesses open their doors to invite Chamber Members to participate in a complimentary networking session. Our host businesses provide refreshments, door prizes, and have a unique opportunity to showcase their enterprises. If you have not attended an Open Late For Business in the past, I strongly encourage you to make a point of attending to meet your fellow members, make valuable connections, and shop Langley first!

Our U-40 Committee is working on expansion of the program to introduce components to help develop young entrepreneurs and promising executives to be the leaders of tomorrow. Their goal is to introduce the new program package before this term is completed.

The recently announced “Meet The Member Selfie Campaign” is intended to encourage member engagement and to highlight and support local businesses. We hope you will join us in participating in this innovative program. I also recognize the efforts of the Ambassadors Team to help welcome new members and introduce them to others at the monthly meetings.

Our Transportation Task Force has had a number of meetings with municipal and provincial representatives to discuss the

business would need to survive until it could replace the key person and get the business back on track. In addition,

lifestyle factors such as age, gender, preexisting health conditions and smoker status are also considered.

“The type of insurance required also

influences cost,” says Kapenda.

Generally speaking, there are two types of life insurance in Canada: term and permanent. Term insurance is for a specific time period and permanent is exactly that—coverage for life. The premiums on term life insurance are more cost effective because the term might run out before the insurance company has to pay the policy out.

“If the plan is to maintain the coverage until the key person retires or exits the business, then term life insurance is adequate. If the plan is to offer the insurance to the key person when they exit the business – perhaps as part of the benefit package – then permanent life insurance could be an option to consider,” says Kapenda.

METHOD:

Why a cleaner workplace leads to higher productivity Courtesy of Business Development Bank of Canada When Jean-Pierre Goulet visits clients for the first time, he can often tell at a glance if they have opportunities to improve their productivity.

Goulet, a BDC Business Consultant and engineer, finds the evidence in a disorganized and untidy workplace.

“When I see supplies, equipment and papers that are not put away properly and an unclean work environment where scrap or old inventory is lying around, it’s almost always a sign of deeper productivity issues,” Goulet says.

“Telling a new client to clean up work areas is not easy.

But often it is one of the first things that needs to be done.”

To do efficient, high-quality work you need to be in a clean, safe environment, with easily accessible tools, Goulet says. This enables workers to concentrate on the task at hand rather than getting sidetracked on organizational issues, whether it be in a factory, office or a store.

One of Goulet’s favourite tools to help clients create lean, functional work environments is the renowned Japanese management philosophy known as 5S. As the name implies, 5S consists of five practices; Sort, Straighten, Shine, Systemize and Sustain. (The Japanese equivalents are Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu and Shitsuke).

Sort: According to Goulet, companies that don’t properly classify their materials and tools suffer enormous productivity losses. Goulet advises companies to sort the things they use daily, monthly and yearly, and to keep handy only what is immediately needed. The rest should be labeled and relocated.

Straighten: Objects should be stored in a functional way even if this means investing in new organizers, shelving or cabinets. Visual aids such as labels, or painted outlines, should also be used to show staff where

particular items should be placed.

Shine: A clean work environment is an effective one. Dirt, waste and scrap should be systematically eliminated, using daily, weekly, monthly and annual cleaning schedules.

easy,” says Goulet. “However some of the biggest gains we have helped achieve were in already-profitable clients, who managed to boost productivity even further.”

Systemize: Teams should get together periodically to establish rules and define work standards ranging from the type and description of materials and tools used, to how information is communicated among group members.

Sustain: Once key 5S elements have been introduced, an internal audit system should be implemented to ensure that work processes function properly and are continued. Inspections should be conducted regularly and feedback regarding suggested process improvements should be passed along to the appropriate parties.

One major challenge that companies face is that not all messes are visible; particularly those related to information and communications technology systems. In today’s highly automated workflows, an office can easily have a surface “spic and span” look, yet mask major system disorder. If staff members can’t find their data files, computer tools aren’t managed and kept up to date and online functionality is sub-standard, then productivity will suffer.

Client reaction to Goulet’s 5S suggestions is almost unanimously positive. However he admits that he sometimes gets initial scepticism from highly successful companies. “Many managers assume that just because their factories are clean and their productivity numbers are good that they can rest

It’s no coincidence that while

many councillors have eased up on questioning detailed expenditures by city governments in the past 20 years, the costs of running cities has magnified far beyond the rate of inflation and population growth.

The move to four-year council terms, and political slates in many cities, has allowed this trend to become even more pronounced. Voters in Langley City appreciated Hall’s willingness to look under the rocks and question even small expenditures, and he topped the polls in the November, 2014 election, which he promised would be his last. Sadly, that pledge was prophetic.

Hall seemed to get along better with Fassbender’s successor, Mayor Ted Schaffer, with whom he served while both were councillors. Schaffer is also much more willing to let council members discuss issues at the open council meetings, as it should be. I was fortunate to get to know Hall better as both of us participated in the Cycling 4 Diversity ride in Langley each year, an excellent initiative spearheaded by my friend Ken Herar of Mission.

Hall was a passionate and committed cyclist and exercise buff. He was looking forward to the opening of the new Timms Centre and hopefully council will remember his contributions in some significant way at the new centre.

No plans for a memorial service have been announced yet, but I’m sure many members of the public will want to attend to honour his memory and help support his family. — Frank Bucholtz is a retired editor of the Langley Times his Frankly speaking blog can be found at frankbucholtz.blogspot.ca.

I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future.

I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value.

Total makeover time Shape Your World Society expands Total Makeover Challenge to Langley, giving 30 women the chance to completely transform their lives from the inside out MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti m e s Re po r t e r

In what seems like the crazy plot from the next big reality TV show, Shape Your World Society is giving 30 women in Langley the opportunity to improve their health, fitness and self-confidence in a dramatic way.

The society’s Total Makeover Challenge, which kicks off Jan. 19, is a four-month development journey where women will receive free fitness training, weight-loss coaching, financial makeovers, organization seminars, businesses seminars, personal-growth classes and much more.

Open to all women ages 19 and up, “it’s supporting the inner as well as the outer,” said Anita Voth, Langley City co-ordinator and board member.

“It’s not a beauty pageant.

Sometimes it can kind of look like that, because you get free hair (styling) and free makeup and you get to lose weight. And honestly, a lot of the women enter because they want to lose weight, and they’re not thinking about the inner stuff.

“But once they get in and start working on themselves and working with other women all going towards the same goal, that’s when the inner stuff becomes more important to them than the outer.”

For some women, the challenge has been instrumental in transforming their lives. Since it began in

Abbotsford eight years ago, many participants have gone on to change careers, run marathons and volunteer with charities, Voth said.

“It’s really fun when we watch the transformation of these women,” she said.

“One woman, who will be speaking at this year’s event, won second place and she went on to volunteer with BC Games. She said she would never have had the confidence to do something like that before the program.”

The Total Makeover Challenge is divided into three segments, with many seminars and challenges in between, to help the women in many different aspects of their lives.

The first, titled The Biggest Loser, is focused on creating workout routines, receiving nutritional advice and changing eating habits. After six weeks, each participant’s results will be evaluated and 15 will be chosen to go on to the next round.

In the second segment — The Apprentice — the women are divided into groups of five to organize a fundraising event. They must pick a team leader, write a business plan and learn to work with each other to pull the event off in just a three-week period.

Many of the women also have full time jobs and have to care for their families while doing this.

“The focus in The Apprentice is three teams doing these fundraising events,

but they are still working out, they’re still getting nutritional talks along the way,” Voth said.

“It’s adding more. They get really busy in the second segment.”

After this challenge, the top five are announced at a cocktail dinner, and one participant already sent home will be brought back into competition as a wild card.

In the last segment — Top Model — the final six s ladies receive Toastmasters lessons, learn how to walk confidently and how to dress for their body types, and also receive hair and makeup tips along with a photoshoot.

All of this leads up to the final event, a fashion show, where the winner will be announced.

“They have their new body’s now, but it’s more about their new confidence and all the things they’ve learned making them into a stronger woman,” Voth said.

“Most of them would never in a million years get up and do a fashion show at the beginning of the program, and now they’re doing it.”

The winner receives a getaway for two, a gym membership and a professional photoshoot, and all on top of nearly $30,000 in donated prizes that all of the contestants receive along the way.

“It’s hard because some weeks they’re exhausted, and they have families and they’re adding this to

already busy schedules,” Voth said.

“After they do it, then they go ‘oh okay, that’s what it did in me. That’s why it pushed those buttons.’ And the funds they raise go to next year’s challenge, so all of the stuff they get is because the girls last year did all of the fundraising for them.

“That’s the pay it forward part.”

This is also the first year the Total Makeover Challenge has expanded to Langley, and Voth says the support from both the business community and past contestants has been “amazing.”

“Women love to be with other women in supporting each other, so we can all try to lose weight on our own, or take a personal development course on our

“I think honestly everyone needs a total makeover —everyone would love it.

“It just gives you a whole new network of friends and a network of community because of all the businesses that are supporting it. And when you feel that community, you give back to that community. That’s why a lot of the women move on to

volunteers with different things.”

Applications to participate in this year’s Total Makeover Challenge are being accepted until Jan. 15 and are available online at http://langley.totalmakeoverchallenge.com/.

“You have to be ready for this,” Voth warned.

“Not every woman who wants to lose weight is ready for something like this. They have to be ready to put themselves out there and be real and to go through a transformation.”

Langley singer and songwriter Lance King is hoping to bring a “brand new sunny day” to people living with a disability.

Every time his song Brand New Sunny Day is played on the radio, King is donating $5 to Options of the Heart, a public awareness campaign on adoption for special needs children.

The campaign comes close to his own heart as King’s daughter, Tiffany, is a young adult with Down Syndrome.

“It’s been an amazing experience having her as part of our family,” King said.

“It’s nice having somebody that really requires your attention and that requires you to really be there to support them and protect them and provide a quality lifestyle for them.”

King’s song, which was featured in the Langley Pos-Abilities documentary Try On a Disability, was written to help people understand what it is like to live with a major disability.

“We want Brand New Sunny Day to be a real inspiration for people and to help people — who aren’t aware of what life is like for those who are disabled — become better educated, and become a little more understanding to those that are living life with a disability,” he said.

For King, whose father is Canadian Country Gospel Hall of Famer Ed King, music has always been a big part of life. But it’s Tiffany that has inspired him to use his songs for activism.

“Tiffany has been working (at Milestones Restaurant) for eight years,” he said.

“You can’t even begin to imagine how important it is for her to take HandyDart each Saturday and Sunday morning and travel to Milestones and do her shift, pre-packaging the food for the cooks, and then returning home on the HandyDart.

“That is such an amazing experience for her. She comes home beaming.”

King and his wife have committed to giving Tiffany a full life, often

Langley songwriter Lance King is using his music to help people understand what it is like to live with a disability. taking her to community events and paying to have her attend school, but they realize that not everyone can afford to do so.

“We know that there is an awful lot of young people who are disabled who don’t get the attention that they need or who aren’t getting the additional things,” he said.

“These are things that a lot of people aren’t able to do, and we’ve made it a priority with Tiffany. So the whole idea behind the music for me has always been to try to provide some opportunities for some other people to be able to do this stuff as well.”

He sees the Options of the Heart campaign as one of these opportunities.

Every time a radio station plays Brand New Sunny Day, King requests listeners to notify him on his Facebook page, https://www.facebook. com/lanceking.musicman/videos/747959712001397/?pnref=story.

He will then call the station to verify, and will personally donate up to $500.

Wolves feast on Stealth in opener Vancouver’s 2016 NLL season starts with a thud as team drops 17-7 decision to New England GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

A stagnant offence combined with some less than average goaltending resulted in a season-opening loss for the Vancouver Stealth.

The Stealth — looking for their first post-season berth since moving to Langley for the 2014 National Lacrosse League season — had an inconspicuous start to the 2016 season, dropping a 17-7 decision to the visiting New England Black Wolves.

The game was played Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre in front of 4,230 fans.

“Their shots dropped and ours didn’t, that was the difference,” said a dejected Garrett Billings after the game.

“Their goalie played amazing.”

Billings, a Langley native, was the team’s prized off-season acquisition, and he opened the scoring, giving Vancouver an early 1-0 lead.

The teams were tied at three after one period but New England scored six times in the second quarter and led 9-6 at the half.

The Stealth cut the lead to 9-7 in the third quarter, but that would be the last time they beat goalie Evan Kirk, who finished with 47 saves.

“We seemed slow out there to-

night, we weren’t moving our feet,” said Vancouver coach Dan Perreault. “A lot of our shots were flatfooted and were hitting defenders.

“We were having a hard time offensively (and) we weren’t moving our feet well.”

Another problem was a lack of movement on offence as the players seemed to be stationary.

Billings (one goal, four assists) and Rhys Duch (two goals, two assists) led the team offensively.

Joel McCready, Corey Small, Travis Cornwall and Tyler Garrison had a goal apiece.

The Black Wolves were led by a familiar face to Langley lacrosse fans as Pat Saunders — who plays in the summers in the Western Lacrosse Association at the LEC with the Thunder — set a new career high with nine points. He scored four goals and was one of five New England players with at least four points.

“We don’t have just one guy,” Saunders said. “We don’t care who is scoring; we just move the ball and play as team.”

Eric Penney allowed a dozen goals on 33 shots before giving way to Chris Levis in the second half. Levis allowed five goals on 22 shots.

Perreault said the goaltenders were left to fend on their own too

Vancouver Stealth’s Travis Cornwall broke in on New England Black Wolves’ goalie Evan Kirk during Saturday night’s National Lacrosse League opener at the Langley Events Centre. Cornwall scored on this play but the Stealth were on the wrong end of a 17-7 score. many times in transition.

Things don’t get any easier for the Stealth as they hit the road on Friday night for game against the defending NLL champion Saskatoon Rush (1-0).

“We have to learn from this (loss), we have to have a short

memory,” Perreault said.

“We have a short week (to prepare) and a tough opponent waiting for us.

“We are going to have to be a the top of our game.”

The Stealth’s next home game is Jan. 23 when the Colorado

Mammoth (2-0) visit the LEC. And Billings said the home crowd’s support during the loss was appreciated.

“That was the only thing that was positive (tonight),” he said.

“Hopefully they will come back and we can redeem ourselves.”

Spartans, Pandas split heavyweight showdown In a battle of the country’s top two teams — neither of which had yet to lose – it was a draw between the Trinity Western Spartans and the Alberta Pandas.

The Spartans — ranked second — struck first winning 3-1 (25-23,25-23,2125,25-18) on Friday night at the Langley Events Centre. And TWU had the topranked Pandas on the ropes in the rematch the next night, up two sets to none before Alberta reeled off

three straight to take the match 3-2 (22-25,22-25,2520,25-23,15-13).

Both teams are 13-1 in Canada West conference play.

The Spartans were up in the third set on the Saturday night before a rotation error turned the set, and ultimately, the match in favour of the Pandas.

“I’m not too sure if we were out of rotation or not, but regardless of that, there was definitely a mo-

mentum shift after that,” said Spartans coach Ryan Hofer. “We had a lot of things going in our favour and things changed in that moment, but we have to be mentally tough in order to deal with stuff that doesn’t go our way.”

The loss was the team’s first defeat in 25 CIS matches, which included a victory over Alberta in the CIS championship final last year.

Sophie Carpentier led

the Spartans with 19 kills while Elly Wendel had 14 and Rowyn Neufeld had 10.

Wendel also came up with 22 digs while Mariel Garcia and Nikki Cornwall each had 21 digs. Cornwall also had 42 assists as the Spartans hit .118 as a team.

Carpentier (18 kills) and Wendel (14 kills) led the attack in Friday’s victory as the team hit .246 for the match.

“This team fights. We’re not going to give up and

we’re not going to back down,” Hofer said.

“When you play a team like Alberta, they’re going to test you and expose things that you need to work on and we’re going to be better for it.”

••• The Trinity Western Spartans extended the second-ranked Alberta Golden Bears to four sets both nights, but the end result was a pair of losses in Canada West men’s volleyball

action at the LEC. The loss dropped the 10th-ranked Spartans to 8-6 while Alberta improved to 14-0. The Golden Bears have been pushed to a fourth set just five times.

“They went to a different gear at the end and we weren’t ready to go with them,” said TWU coach Ben Josephson.

“It’s like a distance runner has a kick at the end of the race.

Eagles soar to another gold The Langley bantam C3 Eagles were rewarded for their team efforts with a second gold medal of the season.

“I feel very fortunate to have such unselfish players (who) buy into the team concept of achieving success,” said Eagles coach Clark Kemp. “This team never gives up and seems to play their best against the top skilled teams.”

The Eagles were competing over the weekend at the Paul Brenner Memorial Bantam

Tournament in Chilliwack.

And in Sunday’s championship final, Langley got two goals and an assist from Nicholas Cormack to defeat the Chilliwack C3 Seahawks 5-2 in a battle of unbeaten squads. Trevor Young scored the game-winner.

The team finished a perfect 6-0.

In the opener, they blasted the Chilliwack C2 Bruins 10-1. Josh Laird earned game MVP honours while Lex Rohweder scored

twice and Brady Lumsden chipped in with a goal.

The second game saw goaltender Matthew Reeves make some great saves early to keep Langley in the game until they got their bearings and then Colton Kenney took over with four goals in a 6-2 win over the Chilliwack C5 Spartans.

Carson Yee picked up game MVP honours.

Owen Kredba was game MVP in his team’s 10-5 win over Kamloops as the defenceman had a strong

game keeping the larger Kamloops forwards at bay. Eric Nordal finished with three assists. The offence kept rolling in the next game, a 9-2 win over the Chilliwack C1 Knights with Greg Song tallying twice. Defence-

man Owen Kemp was game MVP. And in Langley’s final game to win their pool, Joseph Deley and Matt Bardell-Polley scored once each in a 7-2 win over the Aldergrove C1 Bruins. Game MVP was Josh Moreau.
