What’s the secret to lasting

love?

‘Take it from an expert’

B OA Z J OS E P H B lack Pre s s

Second World War veteran Gerry Gaudet, 93, kept a promise to his fiancée Irene: He’d come home when the war ended and marry her. Langley’s Jennifer Thompson took an interest in the couple’s love story. She has recorded and shared his stories, and penned a tribute to Gaudet and his late wife, based on the letters they exchanged during the war.

In love and war, Gerry Gaudet made good on a promise to his fiancée Irene: He came home B O AZ JO S E P H Bl ack Pre s s

The night after his wedding day, Gerry Gaudet was behind bars.

It was the end of January 1946.

After getting married in Medicine Hat, Alta., the soldier who had spent two-and-half years in Europe and had just taken a seven-day train ride across the country to finally see his longtime fiancée Irene, reported to his depot in Calgary only to find himself accused of being AWOL. “The MPs came and got me out of the hotel and yanked me by the scruff of the neck and put me in the hoosegow,” says Gaudet, now 93 and widowed.

It took some begging the next day, but he was released and had his discharge from the army

back-dated.

He was a civilian again and free to continue a romance with a woman that was to last decades.

Gaudet, who now lives in Guildford, first met Irene when he was on duty in Medicine Hat in late 1942.

At the time, Gaudet was a member of a Royal Canadian Engineers unit building a prisoner-of-war camp. He and a buddy, both in uniform, met Irene and a girlfriend of hers on the street walking into a restaurant.

Gaudet and Irene were smitten, and a romance blossomed before Gaudet was called away to war.

But not before he promised to keep writing while away and to marry her as soon as he got back home.

He kept both promises.

The roughly 300 letters, now in his possession, caught the attention of Langley’s Jennifer Thompson about a year ago.

At the time, Gaudet and Thompson’s late father John Thompson received the Légion d’Honneur — France’s highest military award — in Cloverdale from the Consul General of France in Canada.

Thompson took some mental notes, then got to know Gaudet better after her father passed away last summer.

“Irene was just as much a part of the war as Gerry was,” says Thompson, having sifted through letters that Gaudet wrote to his love “Plum” during the war.

He wrote every two or three days, and she wrote back from

home, but he wasn’t allowed to keep her letters after reading them. Only his letters to her remain.

And because of the two- or three-month delay in the delivery of letters and packages, both Gaudet and Irene knew little of their opposite’s immediate dayto-day situations.

Gaudet wasn’t wounded in battle during the war, but he did crash his motorcycle in England in early 1944. He spent two months in hospital.

After mending, he was temporarily transferred to a unit other than his own, the 20th Field Company, engineers attached to the First Canadian Army.

He found himself on a barge bound for Juno Beach on D-Day,

June 6, 1944.

Gaudet did what he could to stay alive for the next month until his 23rd Field Company caught up with him. He spent the rest of the war as a motorcycle dispatch rider, doing reconnaissance, clearing mines, moving and repairing army vehicles, including boats, and building and repairing bridges.

“Whatever they threw at you,” he says. “There was no specialized job.”

His unit supported the boat rescue of a trapped Allied Forces army at Arnhem, Holland, in September 1944.

“We brought 3,500 of them back.”

ERT called to Langley City condo complex Weapons warning results in response by heavily-armed officers D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Heavily-armed police officers raided a Langley City residence on Fraser Highway near 201 Street Tuesday afternoon.

Members of the Emergency Response Team arrived around 4 p.m. in an armoured truck.

They blocked off the street and used a loudspeaker to tell occupants of a first-floor suite that the ERT was there to serve a search warrant, that the people inside were under arrest and for them to exit the premises.

After about 20 minutes it was determined that no one was in the residence and the ERT stood down.

Members of the Langley RCMP remained at the scene.

One person was later arrested without incident on a breach of recognizance charge.

Police said the ERT became involved because there was a tip that there could be weapons inside the suite.

However, none were found.

One (non-police) source told The Times that the address appeared to be the same location that was raided previously by RCMP as part of a mail theft investigation.

Emergency Response Team (ERT) members arrive at a Langley City address on Fraser Highway near 201 Street Tuesday afternoon to execute a search warrant and arrest the occupants of a ground-level suite in a new townhouse complex.

Ambulance reforms pledged to shrink wait times in B.C.

Fire in Langley pool house claims life

Two of eight new emergency vehicles pledged for Langley deployment JEFF NAGEL Black Press

B.C. is adding eight ambulances and 34 paramedics in the Lower Mainland — including two in Langley — as a first step as the government promises major reforms to improve substandard emergency response times.

The new action plan unveiled recently by B.C. Emergency Health Services calls for big changes to how minor emergency calls are handled — more on-the-spot treatment by paramedics or even medical advice by phone is likely rather than the standard practice of an ambulance ride to hospital.

“There are still too many pa-

tients waiting too long for an ambulance who need one and there are too many patients receiving an ambulance and a transport to an ED (emergency department) that don’t require it,” BCEHS executive vice-president Linda Lupini said.

Accompanying the plan is an independent review that found it takes an average of 10 minutes and 24 seconds for ambulances to reach life-threatening calls in the Lower Mainland and Greater Victoria.

A new target of under nine minutes for 75 per cent of those critical calls is being adopted, in line with international standards. And the review warns

population growth and aging will drive up call volumes six per cent a year and push ambulance response times up to more than 15 minutes by 2020 if no improvements are made.

The eight extra ambulance that are being deployed include three in Surrey, two in Langley, two in Abbotsford and one on the North Shore. Extra paramedics have also been added in the Tri Cities.

But Lupini said that is just an immediate stop gap to relieve pressure, with further improvement required through a combination of more resources and innovation.

One man is dead after a fire destroyed a pool house at a single family residence on 76B Crescent near 227 Crescent Wednesday night.

Township fire crews were called out at 9:45 p.m. on Feb. 10, and arrived to find a detached pool house completely engulfed in flames.

About 30 to 45 minutes later, they were told there may be someone inside. Once the fire was brought under control, a search team was sent in and a victim was found.

The fire was contained before it caused any major damage to an adjacent home, also on the

“There was a bit of an exposure fire from the pool house ... onto the home, but crews managed to contain it to the exterior and to the roof sector,” said Township assistant fire chief Pat Walker.

About 25 firefighters were on scene from three separate stations with six apparatus.

Details on the cause of the fire have yet to be determined.

An engine is still on scene, and crews are working with the Langley RCMP and BC Coroners Service.

“At this point we are just starting to do our investigation, so it’s under investigation as we speak,” Walker said.

As he survived the battles of the Second World War, with the support of his beloved “Plum,” also known as Irene from his letters, there was a combination of things that kept love alive.

The couple’s story is about a journey — two people who dared to be real and openly honest. A couple who shaped a relationship that was years in the making and recorded in numerous letters Gerry sent home.

“Plum you can never imagine how much I love you! Darling if I can only have you, so I could call you mine, I would be the happiest boy in the world. Remember Plum, I will always love you.

Remind me Plum, how you felt the first time we kissed. Could you dear remind me in your next letter?”

Gerry didn’t reveal his hands were still shaking as he wrote this, not mentioning the human guile of war that he has just witnessed.

What makes love last?

A combination of commitment, understanding and friendship.

A solid relationship followed by a marriage contract.

Two people who share a promise and dare to be honest and raw.

Living on a dream for the future.

Enduring the temptations of loneliness.

During the Second World War, for more than three long years, Gerry waited to return to “The Hat,” the small town where he and his Plum first kissed and made their promise to each other.

For Gerry, was it love at first sight? Probably.

Irene was the only woman he completely loved.

He met her as a boy and returned as a man.

Would she still want him?

Plum was tired and done paying ransom to the wicked war. Now, after three long years, she needed his word. His commitment.

For 58 years following Gerry’s return, they would celebrate, as Gerry says, the simple things in life.

Every day. Each other’s smile. Holding hands.

Gaudet covered the route of the Canadian Army in Western Europe: France, Belgium, Holland and Germany.

Following the medal ceremony a year ago, Thompson recorded Gaudet’s story through interviews, photos and letters, as well as other veterans,

including her father. She’s shared the stories with families of the veterans she’s met.

Top priority to reduce paramedic wait times in emergency rooms From Page 3

Without changes in procedure, she estimated, up to 30 more ambulances would be required by 2020 and at least 10 single responder vehicles.

While more money is being requested, much of the planned reforms focus on other methods to speed up ambulance response times to critical calls and to cancel or redirect ambulance transport for less urgent calls that can be handled differently.

Lupini said many of those calls “could be dealt with by physicians over the phone or a paramedic seeing and treating a patient without bringing a patient to an emergency room, because that’s what really ties up resources.”

The top reform priority is to reduce how long paramedics wait in hospital emergency departments to hand over incoming patients so they can get back on the road. Fraser Health hospitals are expected to be at the forefront of making the necessary ER reforms.

Faster dispatch and deployment times to get ambulances in service is another strategy.

The latest reform plan comes in the wake of ongoing complaints from municipalities and their fire departments of unacceptably long waits for ambulances to arrive and transport non-critical patients.

A wedding blooper featuring a Langley resident’s five-year-old son is getting international attention.

Eight additional ambulances will be added in southwestern B.C., including two in Langley, to address response time concerns.

That was the result of a controversial restructuring of the B.C. Ambulance Service priority system that aimed to speed ambulances to life-threatening calls but often slowed it to others.

Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis said he’s optimistic about the changes.

“It should make it more of an efficient system,” he said.

Ambulance Paramedics of B.C. president Bronwyn Barter said the review confirms the service is “extremely understaffed” and argued more immediate staff increases are required.

But she said there are “a lot of

positives” in the report, including the acknowledgment of the need for more resources and the move to reduce delays at hospitals, which consume 17,000 paramedic hours a year in urban areas.

NDP heath critic Judy Darcy said the government should have acted sooner in light of years of public outcry.

She predicted the plan will leave many people “still falling through the cracks” — and they may include those less acute cases where a decision is made they don’t need an ambulance response.

A gift from the heart Aldergrove woman hopes to recruit 129 blood donors Valentine’s Day weekend to help her ‘repay’ gift of life she was given in 2009

Aldergrove’s Amie MacNeil is on a mission to recruit 129 blood donors for upcoming clinics in Aldergrove, Langley and Abbotsford.

The mother of two received around129 units of blood during emergency surgery at Royal Columbian Hospital in December 2009, following the C-section birth of her son Jacob.

KURT LANGMANN Black Press

Amie MacNeil is working on a big gift from her heart to the Canadian Blood Service this Valentine’s Day weekend.

She is on a drive to “pay it forward” by recruiting 129 blood donors, as a way of giving thanks for the 129 units of blood she received during emergency surgery at Royal Columbian Hospital on Dec. 7, 2009.

MacNeil, a young wife and mother of two boys, who lives in Aldergrove, survived a near-death experience while delivering her son Jacob

cedures and transfusions but her condition kept worsening, resulting in three cardiac arrests on the operating table.

An emergency hysterectomy finally stopped the bleeding and physicians were able to stabilize her. She was put into an induced coma and spent the next 12 days unconscious in the intensive care unit.

After she awoke she spent another 12 days in the hospital in recovery and came home on Dec. 30.

“I had to learn to walk again,” she said. “But I am so lucky to be alive.”

During those critical five hours in the operating room MacNeil received 129 units of blood, an amount that still surprises her to this day.

“I thought maybe 40 units, but the hospital told me it was 129 units, give or take a couple of units.”

This is the inspiration for her personal pledge to the Canadian Blood Service to recruit 129 blood donors.

She has started a Facebook page called “Amie MacNeil’s Blood Drive — 129 reasons to give” which currently stands at 320 members The Facebook page has generated a lot of interest and commitments from at least 26 people to donate a unit

of blood each at this Saturday’s blood donor clinic in Aldergrove.

“The Aldergrove clinic is almost filled with appointments, but I’m also campaigning for clinics in Langley and Abbotsford this month and have pledges for those too,” said MacNeil.

“And I’ve noticed that a lot of the donors are first time donors; I consider it a real victory that I’m raising awareness of the importance of donating blood.”

MacNeil is practicing what she preaches, too. She, along with her husband Todd and mother Darlene, kickstarted the drive in December by donating a unit of blood each.

MacNeil will also be at this Saturday’s clinic, set for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Feb. 13 at Aldergrove Secondary school, where she will donate another unit of blood and will stay to be on hand to greet her recruits during the day.

The clinic visits Aldergrove every two months, with the next one set for April 9, but opportunities to donate are more frequent in Langley and Abbotsford.

Donors who wish to support her campaign should contact Amie via Facebook (or email to 129reasonstogive@ gmail.com) and she will help register their appointments at the clinic of their choice.

“It’s such a big number, 129 people, it’s daunting,” said MacNeil.

“But if I can convince people how easy it is — it takes under an hour — and how important it is in helping to save lives, it’s worth it.”

Shelley Coburn seeks seat on Langley City council Would stay on as school trustee if elected to council DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

Long-time Langley City resident Shelley Coburn says she will continue to serve as a trustee at the Langley Board of Education if she wins the council byelection.

“There is synergy between the two roles for the benefit of all of the taxpayers,” Coburn said.

“People may wonder why I may want to fulfill two positions, and this is a fair question.

“It is because it is my passion. My time on the board has helped me realize that I am prepared to dedicate myself full time to serving my community.”

In her press release announcing her candidacy, Coburn said many people on City council and the school board have full-time jobs and that she herself has no other career.

“I can totally dedicate myself to these two positions.”

She does not believe she is in a potential conflict.

“No, absolutely not.

There are safeguards in place to deal with any potential situations should they ever arise.”

She said her vision is for a “vibrant Langley City, a healthy community where everyone feels safe, included, and supported. A place where development, business, and the arts are flourishing and the local economy is thriving.”

She promised to work hard to make sure seniors are heard and cared for, the

“I want a City where we can buy local, eat local, shop local, play local and live local.”

She believes that when it comes to anything — homelessness, seniors, transit, development, infrastructure — “we are all the same taxpayer and the issues do not belong to just one level of government.”

“They are our issues because we deal with them and we are the ones paying,” Coburn said.

“What are we going to do to make it better?

Do we lobby? Do we consult? How do we act because we have got to

do something.”

Coburn was born in Langley and has spent most of her life here.

“My family roots run deep. This is where I choose to raise my two teenaged sons. I am deeply invested in this City.”

She wants her kids to be able to stay in Langley if they choose to, and in order for them to do this “they need options, they need jobs.”

“I know many people have contributed to bringing us from the place where we started in 1955 to the place we are today and now I want to contribute to the future, to the next generation. I want to play my part in making Langley City the place to be.”

OPINION

Brenda Anderson | 604.514.6751 | newsroom@langleytimes.com

A long, hard road ahead for rescued dogs In the video, the dog is shaking with fear.

It has just been rescued from an alleged puppy mill.

People at the SPCA have trimmed off the filthy, matted fur and bathed it.

The dog is safe, but it doesn’t know it.

And it starts to back away from the camera lens, terrified.

It was one of the 66 dogs seized from a Langley location earlier this month by the SPCA. The animal protection agency took away 32 adult dogs and 34 puppies on Feb. 4, including Old English sheepdogs, Bernese mountain dogs, soft-coated Wheaten terriers, poodles and Portuguese water dogs.

The starving dogs were living in small, stacked crates and cages, in dark, unheated buildings.

They had serious medical and psychological issues including broken bones, missing ears and eyes, infections and abscesses, dental disease, severe matting and overgrown nails.

None will be available for adoption right away, the SPCA has warned.

And when the rescued dogs do find homes, we can expect that they will need especially skilled and understanding owners.

Because while the physical scars can heal, the psychological damage will take a lot longer.

Long after they have been rescued and removed to new, loving homes, abused dogs can still suffer extreme anxiety, terrified at strangers or cringing at a raised voice or hand.

People who work with emotionally wounded dogs will tell you that helping them recover from their ordeal takes a very long time and lots of love and patience.

And that it is very much worth the effort.

tion of love they had just witnessed.

••• The firefighter’s heart rate came slowly back to normal after he realized how close the explosion had come to causing serious injury or death. As the blaze was being brought under control, he walked to the back of the pumper and as he set his helmet on the tailboard he noticed his lady across the closed street standing in the crowd between the parked cars.

He walked toward her and she ducked under the yellow tape and came to meet him.

They embraced but never said a word. She held tight oblivious to the soot and grime from his coat smudging her sweater.

“I have to go back to work. I love you.”

“I know,” she replied. “I love you, too.”

That embrace would hang there, frozen in time, never to be forgotten.

Love is not just candies, cards and flowers. It’s moments and memories and boldness and not caring who is watching or listening when it’s time to dance or kiss or cry or simply say, “I love you.”

Don’t miss that magic moment. It will last forever. At least that’s what McGregor says.

LETTERS

Brenda Anderson | 604.514.6751 | newsroom@langleytimes.com

Thanks to all helping family through tragic loss Editor: On Feb. 6 a parent’s worst nightmare happened. Our family’s two-and-a-half-year-old girl went missing.

Of course, the first thing we did was to search the property, but soon it was clear that we needed more help.

It was then that we called 911.

While talking with the operator, we heard sirens. “Are those sirens coming for us?” we asked.

We were shocked, we couldn’t believe how fast the police arrived. Of course, all of us were eager to jump in and help in any way we could.

The police told us to show them the property, and then we left it up to them.

Neighbours, people walking by, church family, and people that stopped while driving, all helped to look along the road, in the ditches and on neighbouring properties.

They told us it would be best to just stay in the house, so they could do their thing. Soon search and rescue was here, then three fire trucks arrived. On top of that, were maybe eight to 10 police cruisers.

It was absolutely incredible, the teamwork and promptness of their arrival and methods. A victim services officer came quickly, she was like a counsellor for us. Already we had four of our church family at our house, com-

forting us, and cooking for the kids. She really didn’t have much to do with the others there, but her presence and professional, yet caring attitude was greatly appreciated.

Then two officers came in and took statements from everyone.

They were so patient, and kind, and were so good with interviewing the younger kids, asking them in ways that their answers would actually be of help. Sadly, at around 8 p.m. the emergency crew found her little body at the bottom of our pond.

We know her spirit is in heaven with Jesus, and only her body is left here on Earth. We look forward to seeing her again.

The purpose of this letter, is to thank the following people: The emergency responders who showed up so quickly for doing such a hard job, working in the dark, and for finding her body.

If we never had any answers, it would haunt us for the rest of our lives.

The neighbours, and drivers who took time out of their lives to search for our little girl, calling her name and looking in the ditches, neighbours’ properties, and the streets.

The counsellor, for coming to help us, talk to us, cry with us, and give the kids little toys.

The church family, for praying so hard, and helping out in driv-

ing, cooking, and babysitting.

The two detectives for coming to the hospital. It was so nice to see familiar faces there.

Our pastor for his continued support, and practical gifts.

The community, for all the food, letters, emails, messages, and prayers.

All the support has been amazing. Thank you all so much, and we won’t forget your kindness to us.

May we as a community, come together when others are hurting, to aid in the comfort, as you have done for us. God bless and thank you.

Township ‘out Couple urges voters to support Hillan of touch’ with taxpayers Editor: Re: Township tax increase set at nearly four per cent (The Times, Feb. 3).

Is this council out of their collective mind?

The Canadian and B.C. economies are still in shambles and these elected officials are so out of touch with reality that they have the unmitigated gall to raise our property taxes by well over three times the cost of living increase we got on our provincial and federal pensions (1.2 per cent).

Maybe they missed the BC Assessment average increase for Langley Township of around eight per cent?

Or maybe they are so out of touch with their constituents that they think we won’t object?

It’s time to let these elitists know, enough is enough.

I’ve been a Township resident 40 years, and I’m sick and fed up.

TD’s departure ‘a kick in the chops’

Editor: All citizens will greatly benefit by electing Kiernan Hillan in the Langley City byelection on Saturday, Feb. 27.

Kiernan — an energetic, longtime resident of Langley — has municipal service experience, can make sound decisions, and inspire a spirit of community service.

His leadership skills will improve community safety, transportation, and infrastructure renewal.

On City Council he will create teamwork and a positive relationship with all citizens of Langley.

We, along with Marlene Grinnell, a former respected Mayor of Langley City and Jim McGregor, a retired, respected Langley City fire chief, enthusiastically support Kiernan.

He will make Langley City a beautiful place, a place we can be proud to live and work in.

A vote for Kiernan Hillan is a vote to improve our City.

Housing starts dropped 39 per cent in Ontario and 41 per cent in Alberta, where the oil price slump has hit the economy hard.

Tourism Langley is calling 2015 a “banner year” that saw the number of visitors rise 14 per cent from 2014.

“This is our strongest year yet,” Tourism Langley executive director Deborah Kulchiski told the Times.

The agency was expecting an improvement, but not that big.

“We certainly were very pleasantly surprised.”

Kulchiski said while it will be another month before the final 2015 figures are in, the preliminary numbers show last year was the best Tourism Langley has seen since it began operating.

The available stats suggest the Langleys outperformed other communities in B.C. (which have been reporting increases ranging from two to 12 per cent).

Kulchiski said the local rise was the result of a combination of factors, starting with the decline of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. currency. The fall of our dollar is encouraging Americans to travel north and Canadians to stay in their own country, with British Colum-

The Langleys have also benefited by providing accommodation to people attending Vancouver events who can’t find reasonably-priced places to stay in the pricey downtown

core. As well, both Langleys have been adding attractions and events that are drawing more people, Kulchiski said.

For example, the Fort Langley historical site reported a 14 per cent increase in visits in 2015.

Alistair Veen, 37, co-owner of Tap Restaurant in South Surrey, gained the prestigious accolade — recognition of his expertise in serving wines and teaming them with different menus — in a grueling service exam last week before an expert panel at the Captain’s Dining Room at Rogers Arena.

But Veen, who was born and raised in Langley, noted laughingly he’s still not sure how many people outside the wine and restaurant business know what a sommelier is.

“You could say I’m a wine-nerd, or a wineguru,” he said with typical self-deprecating humour.

He is proud, however, that, as he puts it, “the hardware is coming out to South Surrey” — even though he’s not sure yet whether ‘the hardware’ will end up being a trophy or a plaque to display at his premises, at 15350 34 Ave. He admits he was con-

sidered the dark horse going into the annual competition, presented by the BC chapter of the Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers and sponsored by the Vancouver International Wine Festival.

In the 15 years since the contest was established, he said, the title has never gone outside Vancouver.

Indeed, Vancouver media reporting the event were seemingly astonished that anyone from South of the Fraser had the expertise and the flair to ace the competition — quite apart from keeping his cool and his sense of humour through the tense proceedings, which involved a written theory exam and a practical service test, including decanting both white and red wines.

“I was determined to treat it as a learning experience,” Veen said of his entry into the field of 10 competitors, noting the irony is that his fellow contestants — including two that accompanied him into the final round, Sean Nelson of Vij’s Restaurant and Shane Taylor of CinCin Ristorante — are far from

strangers.

“They’re all close friends of mine. We all get together regularly to discuss wines, we study together. We all know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and any single one of us could have taken the title. In fact, I really thought I was not the one who was going to be having this conversation.”

Veen was once part of the Vancouver restaurant scene, himself, in a career that first began with an unglamourous position as part-time dishwasher at a Murrayville pub when he was 15.

The family man (he and his wife, Aron, events director for Tap, have a year-old son, Alex) joined Tap as chef four months after it opened 10 years ago.

With current partner Les Pereira, Veen — who bought out majority partner Curtis Moyen in 2010 — has continued to grow the business as a “premier dining room” blending modern and classic cuisine.

Veen believes that being a chef gave him a distinct

“I have the edge from the sheer amount of wine and food pairings I’ve done around the world — when asked to do that in front of an audience it was like pulling on my socks,” he said. “I’m a chef first and foremost, but once I started really appreciating what was involved in running a restaurant, I realized it was a huge area

“It’s a long way to come, through a tunnel and across two bridges.” he said.

“What I’m hoping is that it will make people really interested in staying put in South Surrey, rather than feeling they have to travel through the tunnel and over the bridges to Vancouver — to have the feeling that, holy smoke, we’ve got the top sommelier in B.C. right here in our own backyard.”

(to explore). When I turned 27, I decided I was going to focus on wine education.”

While he has appreciated the expressions of support that have flooded in since his win, Veen said he hasn’t “fully absorbed what the ramifications of the award will be” for Tap. It’s certainly focused Vancouver attention on the venue, he acknowledged, though he’s not expecting a heavy influx of trade from the city.

‘Accept Me’ off to Grammys

K URT LANGMANN Black Press

A philanthropic fashion line that takes aim at bullying is becoming a sensation.

The “Accept Me� logo, which adorns clothing and accessories, started as a kernel in Kim Radons’s mind last summer on her Aldergrove farm.

It has since grown to take the Grammy Awards stage in Los Angeles. “I started this brand because I firmly believe we should all be accepted for ‘who I am, how I look, whom I love, and what I believe,’� said founder Kim Radons. “Individually, we desire acceptance, yet we are falling short in the reciprocation department.�

She had been dealing with some “profoundly painful� issues around her work as a children’s advocate, “and then at the end of June, it hit me, we need one platform — acceptance — and it takes care of all of that bullying, racism, and negativity in the world.�

The ‘Accept Me’ logo which adorns clothing and accessories started as a kernel in Kim Radons’s mind last summer on her Aldergrove farm and has since grown to take the Grammy Awards stage in Los Angeles.

Radons had the idea for a logo and called on an artist friend in Quebec, Colleen Reich, to come up with the final logo design.

It depicts a person breaking through the barriers of marginalization. “There’s a bit of nostalgia with a peace sign in the design, along with breaking through the barriers.�

The T-shirts, sterling

silver necklaces and other jewelry items are currently only available online, although Radons is working on getting them into stores as well.

To that end, she got a big break when the upcoming 58th annual Grammy Awards accepted her bid to have the Accept Me products included in their swag bags. “I thought it was a

long shot but I wrote the smallest pitch to the Grammy Awards and got the quickest response. Within 15 minutes they called me and said they loved the message.�

Support of Accept Me branded merchandise enables the organization to provide funds to select charities that share their primary goal of empowering positive growth in the lives of at risk youth. Accept Me supports the work of two organizations, Bullying Ends Here and Boys Club Network. “I found Bullying Ends Here when I was looking for help groups. Its founder, Tad, is a police officer who lectures at high schools and I listened to him talk to Grades 9-10 at a West Vancouver school. We were all spellbound,� said Radons.

Radons and husband, Roy, have been involved with Boys Club Network for the past four years, and every summer the couple hosts 75 youths from BCN at their farm for activities and a wiener roast. “For those of us who grew up on farms it may not seem anything special, but for these kids it’s their very first exposure to what a farm is.�

The websites are bullyingendshere.ca and boysclubnetwork.com. “Acceptance is not just something that happens; it is a lifelong choice that requires one to be consistent and constant in their practice of compassion and empathy. Together we can share this simple yet powerful message.

It’s a movement, a small adjustment, and it starts with you,� said Radons. “Visit our ‘Friends’ page to learn more about the charities we love.�

Yorkson students get their feet wet Ninety Grade 6 students from Yorkson Creek Middle School got their feet wet in Yorkson Creek on Monday, Jan. 25 as an introduction to a project which will address water quality in Langley.

The General Motors Global Rivers Environmental Education Network (GM GREEN), encourages a communitywide approach to help youth better understand their impact on local watersheds.

Employees from General Motors Langley Parts Distribution Centre, Langley Environmental Partners Society (LEPS) and Earth Force help young people conduct water quality testing in local streams and develop a sustainable action plan addressing water quality issues in Langley.

“It’s critical that today’s youth are connected to their local watersheds

and the environment,” said Sarah Atherton, Education Program Coordinator at LEPS. “We work closely with School District 35 students to build that connection and help young people see the role they can play in protecting and adapting the environment for the next generation.”

This year the program expands from Yorkson Creek Middle School to HD Stafford Middle School.

“Access to clean water is essential to all communities, and this program encourages students to be leaders in advancing water quality and conservation,” said Adria MacKenzie, of GM corporate communications.

The government of B.C. is contributing $23,773 toward the Langley Environmental Partners Society so two people can receive

Langley gyms join virtual club In a fitness market dominated by large chains, 11 Lower Mainland independent gyms have joined together to offer a new fitness initiative to the public.

Virtual Gym Club, featuring Fitness Challenge (19889 96 Ave.) and Revolution MMA (20460 Langley Bypass) in Langley, is a flexible gym membership to make exercising possible for the busiest of individuals.

“With the rise of gym chains in the area, competition was only growing for the independent gyms,” said Riley Abreo, founder of Virtual Gym Club.

“By working together, independent gyms can take back some of the market while provid-

is Th th’s on M

ing a new alternative for the public to get healthy.”

The online membership gives access to any independent gym in the network, and gym time can be booked with just a few clicks on a smart phone.

There are also no hidden fees, or long term contracts, Abreo said.

“Too many times, these big corporations and businesses use pushy sales techniques and long term contracts to lock members in,” said Abreo.

“Gym access should be convenient and affordable for any willing participant.”

“This is a terrific job creation partnership that is giving two people valuable work experience in environmental stewardship in their community, while developing programs for middle school students,” said Mary Polak, B.C.’s environment minister and MLA for Langley.

“This project will also benefit the community.”

HOME BUYING OPTIONS “One of the simplest reasons for a subject to sale is that it gives the family or individual the chance to move out of their old house and into their new one without the need to rent elsewhere.”

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Low inventory and a low Canadian dollar making a sellers’ market

Renting or renting back may be a buying option

By Nicolle Hodges It’s a common question that can feel like a housing market merry-goround: do you sell your home before you buy, or do you buy your new home before you sell?

January was the hottest month on record – at least for the real estate market. According to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, sales were up a whopping 57 percent over January 2015, and while it can be a lucrative opportunity as a seller, it leaves many buyers scrambling to find a suitable home.

Louise McKnight, Associate Broker/ Partner at Bay Realty Ltd further explains how low inventory and a low Canadian dollar are contributing to a sellers’ market. The low dollar, she says, is motivating the Chinese investor to purchase real estate, while multiple offers has become commonplace.

In a balanced market or a “buyers’ market” a subject to sale agreement is fairly common practise. This clause allows buyers to purchase their new home, subject to their current home selling by a certain date.

However, in a “sellers’ market,” which the market is currently considered, it would be rare to have a subject to sale accepted.

That’s because, as McKnight explains, many sellers are presented with multiple offers on their home and will opt for the sure sale rather than a subject sale.

“[The market] is very, very, active, subject to sale is that it gives the almost to the overheated category,” family or individual the chance to says Michael Trites, Managing Bromove out of their old house and into ker/Sales Associate at Royal LePage their new one without the need to Northstar Realty. “Selling over the rent elsewhere. listed price is more the norm rather If buyers find themselves without the than the exception, and at prices that subject to sale option, the question are sometimes difficult to remains: do you rent back rationalize.” from the new owners of Matt Morrow, Realtor at your home until you find RE/MAX 2000 Realty, something? agrees.

“That is happening quite “I've been a realtor for 10 regularly [and] it seems years and although I've to be a win-win if done been through some crazy properly,” says Trites. “It markets, I haven't experican be a term of the Contract of Purchase and Sale, enced anything quite like or a separate rental agreethis,” he says. “The market Louise McKnight ment can be prepared.” is being fuelled by an all Associate Broker/Partner at As for what to do with all time low level of inventoBay Realty Ltd. of your “stuff,” while you ry, low interest rates, and make the move? McKlots of buyers.

If a significant “decluttering” cases you won't stand a chance havis needed, consider renting a storage ing any conditions in your offer. That unit or a storage pod that can be goes for financing and/or inspections delivered to your home, self packed, too. and taken away.

“If there's 10 offers on a home, more “Try not to store items that you will than half will be free of all condinot use at your new home,” she says. tions these days, and deposits are “This may be the perfect time for a being handed over at the time of the garage sale!” offer,” says Morrow. “An awkward As for final advice for people in the spot to be in as a buyer, but plenty of situation of renting while they look buyers are willing to offer way over to buy, Trites recommends reviewing asking price with no conditions and, the rental agreement before signing of course as a seller, you want the to be sure it’s a month-to-month best offer.”

One of the simplest reasons for a agreement and not a lease.

“Leases most likely will contain penalties for early termination, whereas month-to-month tenancies require one rental period’s notice to terminate,” he says, It’s a very tough market to be a buyer in, which is why Morrow’s final piece

of advice is to consider lightening your “needs list” and just get back into the market. “[Maintain] constant communication with your Realtor,” he says, “and be ready to jump both feet in.”

Poole, who has been coaching with his brother Ian for about seven years, was confident going

into the championships.

“I felt that it’s a very competitive league, but the way we had played all season, I knew that we had just as good an opportunity to take home a gold medal as any of the other teams” Poole said.

“Our guys just had to be ready.”

Goalie Levi Gallant was instrumental in the win, Poole said.

“Our goalie had has a good run his whole career. We’re just very fortunate to have someone like that.”

The Thunder won or tied every game they played en route to the win, beginning Friday against Coquitlam, winning 12-8. Ryan Martel was named MVP. The players posted two wins on Saturday, beating New West 7-4 (Quinn McKitrick was named MVP) and Ridge Meadows 9-2 (Caleb Pearson named MVP).

Langley Rivermen forward Ryan Barrow and Chilliwack Chiefs defenceman Dennis Cholowski fight for position in front of Chiefs goalie Aidan Pelino on Feb. 8 at the Langley Events Centre. Chilliwack won 5-2.

A frustrating Family Day game for Langley Rivermen Chilliwack Chiefs open up early scoring lead in Monday hockey game The Langley Rivermen were unable to overcome an early scoring lead by the Chilliwack Chiefs Monday (Feb. 8).

The Rivermen hosted the Chiefs at a special Family Day game at the Langley Events Centre.

Coming into the contest, the Chiefs led the season series 4-2.

Bo Didur started in net for the Rivermen, while Aiden Pelino countered for the Chiefs.

The Chiefs opened up the scoring early on at the 1:28 mark with a goal from Darien Craighead.

During four-on-four play, Chilliwack doubled their lead

thanks to Jordan Kawaguchi at 12:50.

Kawaguchi then scored a power play goal with 34 seconds remaining to make it 3-0.

The Chiefs took their three-goal lead into the second period and led the shot count 9-3.

In the second Kawaguchi capped off the hat trick, scoring the only goal of the period on a Chiefs power play to extend the lead to 4-0 after 40 minutes.

With under eight minutes to play, Zac Masson would break Pelino’s shutout as he put away his own rebound on a breakaway.

For Masson, it was an

unassisted goal and his eighth of the season.

At 18:06, Masson scored his second of the period on the power play to cut the Chiefs’ lead to a pair of goals.

Matthew Graham and Ryan Barrow had the assists.

However, Kawaguchi sealed the game, scoring into the empty net for his fourth of the afternoon to make it a 5-2 final.

Jordan Kawaguchi was the difference maker in the game, scoring four out of Chilliwack’s five on the day.

The Rivermen remain in third place in the Mainland Division.

Catch them in action at their next home game on Feb. 21 at 3 p.m., against the Victoria Grizzlies.

It was a brief retirement.

Less than a year after he left the game, goaltender Tyler Richards has returned to sign a one-year contract with the Vancouver Stealth.

“I am so thankful for this opportunity from ownership and the coaching staff to allow me to come back to the team out of retirement,” Richards said.

“I am really excited and can’t wait to run out on the floor with my teammates again.”

Richards returns to the franchise after retiring from lacrosse last May and will be entering his eighth season in the National Lacrosse League (NLL), all of which have been with the Stealth.

He appeared in 14 games with Vancouver during the 2015 season and had a 4-9 record along with a 14.57 goals

against average and a .739 save percentage.

The Coquitlam native was drafted in the fourth round (46th overall) by the Stealth in 2007.

His 33 regular season wins places him second in franchise history and in 2014 he surpassed Rob Blasdell for most saves (2,576).

He’s also the franchise leader in playoff wins with eight.

In 2015, Richards became just the 13th goaltender in league history to record 3,000 career regular season saves.

On Feb. 28, 2015 he also scored his first career NLL goal, marking the first time since 2009 that a goaltender scored in the NLL. “My body feels great and hopefully it doesn’t take too long for me to shake some of the rust off,” Richards said.

Langley Time s file pho to

Less than a year after retirement, goaltender Tyler Richards has returned to the Vancouver Stealth.

Stealth Head Coach Dan Perreault is looking forward to having a familiar face back in the dressing room.

“I have known Tyler for a long time and he is a guy that is going to help this team in many areas, on and off the floor. He has had some great years in this organization and

seems very motivated to come back and compete hard with his teammates,” said Perreault.

With the addition of Richards, the Stealth have released goaltender Chris Levis.

The team’s next home game is Feb. 20 against the Calgary Roughnecks at 7 p.m.

Finding new roads with the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS Eventually, we pulled into John’s City Diner in Birmingham for a late dinner of some deep-fried goodness. Over dinner, we debated the next step: we could stay in Birmingham or push forward to Jackson, Mississippi. Staying in Alabama would make for a longer journey the next day.

We pushed on and when I shut her down at that chosen destination I had clocked 1,291 kilometres (807 miles).

Surprisingly, after over 12 hours behind the wheel, my back wasn’t aching as much as I had expected. The sport seats proved to be firm yet flexible enough to still be comfortable and keep me in place.

Even with the chassis 28 percent stiffer, the ride isn’t bone-jarring, not for me at least. Though, don’t expect it to take road imperfections gingerly. It is a performance vehicle after all so running a tight ship is mandatory. Besides, there aren’t 455 horses under the hood without reason. My voice had tired from singing at the top of my lungs and talking on the phone – I was driving alone, after all.

The desire to venture along this section of the program that spanned over the 48 contiguous states was purely personal. I’d never driven in this part of the United States – with the exception of Florida – and wanted to experience what it had to offer. The scenery wasn’t quite as epic as the sultry waves of Florida’s coastline, and all in all, it was quite barren, but there was still joy in the journey.

For Valentine’s Day: the 10 most romantic movie cars For those of us who also love automobiles, the best romantic films are those that feature an interesting car or two.

Pretty Woman – 1989 Lotus Esprit SE Richard Gere’s high-flying businessman Edward was bound to own an exotic “foreign” classic, but when both Ferrari and Porsche declined to be associated with a film linked to prostitution, Lotus stepped in. The gamble paid off and sales of the Esprit (actually a modified 1990 model SE).

Notting Hill – 1967 Park Royal AEC Routemaster Bus OK, so it’s not exactly a star in the film, but we love the old Routemaster, brought into service in 1967 by London Transport, and now available for weddings and special events!

When Harry Met Sally – 1976 Toyota Corona Station Wagon

Patrick Swayze’s character Johnny Castle drove one of the most iconic American cars of all time in Dirty Dancing – the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-door hardtop.

I want to take the time to thank you for the fantastic new Rogue I now drive and LOVE! I like most people dread the thought of coming to a car dealership and being cornered into a something I’m not interested in. However that was far from the case when working with Rena at Jonker Nissan. From the follow-up email to my initial inquiry she was professional and listened to what was interested in. She provided me with several different options with various different price points being sure to point out the different benefits of each option.

She was delightful to work with; I didn’t expect to purchase a new vehicle that day but Rena instilled confidence in your organization and the vehicle I wanted so I was very comfortable making that decision immediately and I have not suffered buyer’s remorse on that decision, quite the opposite...I love the new Rogue!

We were looking to buy a sedan, we called several dealers including Jonker Nissan.

The salesman on the phone was very friendly and polite. We live in Abbotsford but because of how nice Vonn was on the phone we decided to go see him the next day. We were more impressed with his professionalism and how he took care of us, so we bought a brand new Sentra from him.

Thank you so much Vonn. Mr. & Mrs. Gill

2015 NISSAN SENTRA

Over the last year, as we prepared to transition to retirement, we visited most automotive dealers in the Surrey/Langley/White Rock area in search of the right combination of vehicles that would best serve us. In the spring, we had the good fortune to meet with Les Flewelling from Jonker Nissan. Les presented us with a knowledgeable, straight forward and honest approach. Les quickly gained our trust. In May we took possession of our 2015 Nissan Murano and in September a 2015 Nissan Micra. Between our two purchases, Les also sold one of our children a previously owned Nissan. In retrospect, there is absolutely no doubt that Les and the Jonker Nissan team that supports him was the right choice for us and our family. We have great confidence in recommending Jonker Nissan to others. John

(Estate) Meg Ryan’s character Sally drove the least-exciting car on our list. The RT119 Toyota Corona had the 2.2-litre 20R engine, that generated a modest 96 hp.

The Graduate – 1966 Alfa Romeo Duetto Spider When a young Dustin Hoffman was cast as Benjamin Braddock, his uncle offered to supply the character’s car. The uncle was the legendary U.S. car importer Max Hoffman, and the car was the newly released Alfa Romeo Duetto Spider. continued on page 31

Dirty Dancing – 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Patrick Swayze’s character Johnny Castle drove one of the most iconic American cars of all time in Dirty Dancing – the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-door hardtop.

Love Actually – 1992 Saab 900 XS Colin Firth’s character Jamie famously learned Portuguese in order to woo his housekeeper, but we all know it was his Saab 900 that really attracted Aurelia, played

by Lucia Moniz.

The Love Bug – 1963 Volkswagen Beetle With his big personality and amazing speed, Herbie cemented the VW Beetle as an iconic car. Ironically, Volkswagen did not support Disney’s use of the car, and as a result, all VW badges and logos were removed.

The Notebook – 1946 Hudson Commodore Through the tears, you may be able to spot the 1946 Hudson Commodore Eight Club Coupe driven by Rachel McAdams’ character.

Bridget Jones’s Diary – 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SE Convertible Hugh Grant’s smoothtalking Daniel Cleaver had the coolest car. His 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SE Convertible in blue has the 2778cc inline-6 M130 engine and is an earlier “high grille” car.

True Romance – 1988 Porsche 911 Flachbau Cabriolet.

The white Porsche 911 Flachbau (Flat Nose) cabriolet was perfectly cast – it was ostentatious, noisy and flashy, matching Elliott Blitzer’s character as a movie executive and aspiring actor.

OBITUARIES

HORNE, Carrol Ann [nee Nundal]

February 14 1945 - February 7 2016 We have lost a very precious member of our family a fantastic wife, Mother and Grandmother. Carrol is survived by her husband Terry, daughter Laurie [Rick Vnuk] sons Gary [Shannon], Randy [Celine], Grandchildren Brittany, Carter, Tamara, Everett, Rebecca, Chloe, London & Riley. Sister Sharon, Brothers Don, Larry and Michael. No flowers please. We would like to say a special thank-you to the Management, Nursing staff, Care aids and guests at Simpson Manor Fort Langley for the loving care she received during her ten month stay. Remembrance service and reception was held at Henderson’s Funeral Home 20786 Fraser Hwy Langley on February 11, 2016.

McRAE James William Jim passed away peacefully on January 11, 2016 in Langley, BC. He was born in Ft. McLeod, AB on May 22, 1928. The family migrated to the Lower Mainland shortly after, where Jim resided for the remainder of his life. He is predeceased by his parents, James Ewen and Erna Angela McRae, sister, Alix McRae Robinson and niece, Shelley Corinne Walker.

He is survived by nieces, Carol Leigh Robinson and Teresa Gail Robinson and nephew, Stephen Glen Robinson. Jim developed a love for both airplanes and fast cars early in his life. He was a long standing member of the Sports Car Club of BC going back to the late 1950’s. He was well known at both Westwood “Mile High” Motorsports Park and then later at the Mission “Rivers Edge” Raceway. Jim was also a founding member of the Motorsport Emergency Turnworkers Assoc which has promoted safety in BC Motorsports for over 40 years.

Jim finally realized his dream of owning an airplane when he purchased his Aeronca Champ in the 1970’s and when he was not out chasing race cars he would be seen flying the skies far and wide even to Oshkosh, WI. In 2010 Jim was inducted into the Greater Vancouver Motorsport Pioneer Society in recognition of his many years of volunteer work. He will be sorrowfully missed.

A memorial service to honour Jim will be held at the Langley Airport on February 20th, 2016 at the Cdn Museum of Flight at 5333 216 Street, Langley, BC from 2 PM to 4 PM. In lieu of flowers please donate to the BC Cancer Foundation.

OBITUARIES

Lena Horrill

On Thursday, January 14, 2016, at 91 years of age, Lena Horrill passed away peacefully to be forever with her Lord with her loving family by her side. Lena was born in the village of Norton-Le-Clay in Yorkshire, England on July 6th, 1924. As a girl she enjoyed sports and excelled at track & field. Lena loved to tag along with her Dad who was a noted hedge trimmer in the area and remembers accompanying her Dad when he was called upon to trim the hedges at Highclere Castle which is where the Downton Abbey TV series was filmed. Lena’s parents owned the 3 Horseshoes Pub and when the war broke out, her mother offered the airmen in the area a laundry service. Lena much preferred helping out in the pub to spending time in the kitchen and this is where she met her future husband Morris Horrill.

In 1946, they married and were blessed with a daughter, Caroline. Lena and baby Caroline made their way to Canada on the Queen Mary.

Morris and Lena first lived in Fort Frances where their son, Brent, was born and then moved on to Selkirk, Manitoba.

In 1967, Morris and Lena moved to New Westminster, BC where Lena found work at Shoppers Drug Mart. Lena enjoyed 21 years at Shoppers before retiring in 1989.

Retirement took Morris and Lena to Walnut Grove in Langley where they enjoyed many happy years and made wonderful friendships at the Southwinds Estates.

Morris and Lena loved to travel; enjoying extended winter vacations in Palm Springs, Arizona, trips to England and countless trips back to Manitoba visiting and spending time with family and friends.

Family was very important to Lena and she treasured her time spent with each one of us. Lena loved to spoil us with her delicious roast beef dinner, yorkshire pudding and angel food cake desserts.

Lena was predeceased by Morris, her loving husband of almost 65 years in 2010, her parents Henry and Emily Wilson, brothers Ken and Henry Wilson and sister-in-law Bella Wilson, parents-in-law Ernie and Tina Horrill, sistersin-law Helen Horrill, Dorothy Horrill and Phyllis Bollin, brothers-in-law Ray Horrill and Cecil Bollin.

Left to cherish her memory are, son Brent (Lynn) of Winnipeg, daughter Carol (Terry) Boyd of Nanaimo, BC, sisters-in-law Rita Wilson and Fern Horrill, brother-in-law Lyle (Irene) Horrill, grandchildren Grant (Heather) Boyd, Scott Boyd, Paul (Amanda) Boyd, Chad (Tara) Horrill and Jaimie (Brian) McCormick, great grandchildren Colin, Wesley, Megan, Matthew, Nathan, Callie and Mason, numerous nieces and nephews and many dear friends.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, February 20 at 1:00pm at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 28th Ave., Surrey, BC with Rev Bill Ashbee officiating.

Cremation has taken place. Flowers are gratefully declined. Donations may be made in Lena’s memory to a charity of your choice. Condolences may be offered at: www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca
