Discussion about safety upgrades to 16 Avenue resurfaced at Township council on Monday night, after Coun. Charlie Fox’s motion to get road improvements “on the table” was referred to staff for more information.

Fox said the focus of his motion, which is similar to one that was defeated in 2008, is on crossing safety.

He is calling for funding in the 2017 and 2018 budgets to installs traffic signals at 208, 224, 232, 240, 256 and 272 Streets to allow for traffic activated north/south crossings.

He is also asking for more enforcement opportunities through the addition of four pull-outs — two east-bound and two west-bound — and the use of green wave technology, similar to what’s used on 200 Street, to synchronize lights for drivers travelling at the posted speeds.

It’s a very personal matter for Fox, who lives south of 16 Avenue and crosses the road on a regular basis.

“I’ve been under a lot of pressure being the one and only council member that lives down there to actual-

ly get something going on here,” Fox said, adding that it’s been two years since any work has been done on that roadway.

“The one thing that people constantly, constantly tell me — it doesn’t matter if I’m at the Otter Co-op or at Wix Brown or where I am — we need to make this a safer route going north/ south. Yes, commuters go east/west, there’s no question. But we are residents of Langley, we are taxpayers of Langley.

“Commuters don’t pay any taxes, they just want to get from A to B and they do so when they go through. We need to make it safe for our residents, the ones that pay taxes in our community.”

Fox said one of the most dangerous areas is at 208 Street, where pickup trucks towing large horse trailers from Campbell Valley Park are “putting their lives (at risk)” crossing 16 Avenue at the crest of a hill.

“People going eastbound, there’s a hill coming up.

And if someone is speeding up that hill, it puts them in jeopardy.

“So I really think we need to become a little more conscious of this,” he said.

Majority opt to wait for joint report on 16 Avenue From Page 1

MIR ANDA GATHER COLE L an gley Tim es

Township Coun. Charlie Fox believes the intersection of 208 Street and 16 Avenue is one of the most dangerous along the busy road, as vehicles travelling eastbound speed up the hill, making it difficult for drivers heading north/south to safely cross.

While other members of council agreed that safety improvements must be made, several said they want to wait until a joint study by TransLink, the Township, the City of Surrey, the City of Abbotsford, and the province is released this month.

“We need to have a thorough discussion on this tiny report that is here,” Coun. Bob Long said while holding up a draft of the TransLink report, which was provided to council for comments during closed meetings.

“There’s a lot of information that we need to put into context of what’s being suggested.

“We need to have the expert advice of our staff.”

Coun. Richter agreed with Fox that immediate action should be taken, calling the Township the “ham in the sandwich” in the situation.

“I think councillor Fox is 100 per cent right on this,” Richter said.

“We should just be pass-

ing this now, making it very clear that from Langley Township council’s perspective, our residents are number one.

“Not Surrey, not Abbotsford, not regional road networks that are going to cut our community in half and really jeopardize some of our important industries in agri-tourism in South Langley.”

Both councillors Michelle Sparrow and Angie Quaale countered that comment, saying the decision to refer Fox’s motion is putting the community first.

“I just want to say to councillor’s Richter’s points that were made, that it is putting our residents first by asking for a report back from staff to get an understanding of how much this is going to cost before we vote on this,” Sparrow said.

“How could we approve this right now?” Quaale added.

“Where’s this going to come from? How are we going to pay for it?”

The referral passed with councillors Fox and Richter opposed.

Police say alcohol Police warn owners of older Hondas to be vigilant after rash of thefts may have factored Twelve older model in ATV rollover Civics stolen in Langley MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re p o r t e r

Impairment may have been a factor when a Langley man rolled an all-terrain vehicle into a field on Saturday night.

Around 10:30 p.m., emergency crews were called to a field in the 25200 block of 80 Avenue where they found the man trapped underneath the ATV.

The 37-year-old was extracted from beneath the ATV and an air ambulance landed in the field to take him to Royal Columbian Hospital. Police say the man suffered broken bones and other non-life threatening injuries.

Langley RCMP said a strong odour of liquor was detected on the victim, so a blood sample was ordered.

over span of two nights Langley RCMP are warning owners of older model Honda Civics to be extra vigilant after 12 of the vehicles were stolen recently within the span of two nights.

Over the last month, Langley has seen a steep rise in the thefts of older Civics.

This is because they are an easy target, said Langley RCMP spokesperson, Cpl. Holly Largy.

NOW OPEN Healthway Medical Clinic

Older vehicles are easier to steal because they are less likely to have the most effective security features.

The Honda Civic remains the most popularly stolen vehicle according to ICBC, followed by the Honda Accord.

Many of the thefts have taken place in North Langley, however police advise all Honda owners to follow a few steps to help avoid becoming a victim.

• Park in a secure, well-lit area near pedestrian traffic.

A young refugee family from war-torn Syria has found a peaceful home in Aldergrove, thanks to a small church congregation.

The 50-member Aldergrove Vineyard Church sponsored the Syrian couple and their three small children under the federal resettlement program, with the assistance of the Mennonite Central Committee in Abbotsford.

About 20 church members greeted the family at Vancouver Airport two Fridays ago. The family, which had been living in Lebanon for the past four years, includes three boys aged four, six and eight.

“It was a very joyful event and the family is so happy to be here,” says Danise Randall Breederland, whose family is temporarily sharing their rural Aldergrove house with the refugee family while the finishing touches are put on a basement suite in Abbotsford.

“The family had applied to the UN two years ago and finally were accepted by Canada,” said Breederland.

“They don’t speak any English but we had an interpreter on hand to introduce us as they came through the gate. All they had was two bags between

them, nothing else.”

The family was among a group of about 30 refugees who flew directly from Amman, Jordan to Montreal, where their documents were processed before transferring to a Vancouver-bound flight. Most of the group were government-sponsored, which meant they had no private sponsors to greet them at the airport, and were transported to temporary lodgings such as the Sandman in Surrey.

Breederland said she was touched by the actions of a passerby couple who noted the family’s dress and asked the church members if the family were refugees.

“When we said yes, they called out ‘Welcome to Canada’ and pressed a hundred dollars into our hands and told us to buy them something nice.

That’s the heart of Canadians.”

Church pastors Joe and Charmaine Kelder believe that the commitment by the church to support and guide the family through their resettlement in Canada is a calling which must be heeded.

Under the “blended visa office refugees” program, the federal government provides $1,400 a month for six months for a family of five, and the sponsors provide the rest.

The sponsors provide housing, food, clothing and assistance in setting up bank accounts and medical coverage — altogether a $30,000 commitment from the small Aldergrove congregation.

“It’s what we’re called to do,” said Kelder. “From a faith-based perspective, God makes the resources available.”

The family has been settling in and have been helped to connect with resources such as Abbotsford Community Services, schools for the children, as well as ESL classes and job placement.

Breederland also took the family to the Middle Eastern Friendship Centre in Surrey on Thursday, just to have some social connections with others who speak Arabic.

“It’s a nice resource, with books, food, potluck dinners, and then after that we went grocery shopping and had dinner with the family,” said Breederland.

“I use a Google translation app to converse with them but I’m not sure it is always right; I wonder perhaps if perhaps they speak an Arabic dialect?”

“It’s a huge learning curve for us, quite an adventure,” said Kelder.

“We’re delighted and stretched, but it’s a huge privilege for us to do this.”

Richard Bulpitt Elementary is forecasted to more than double in student population over the next 10 years, making catchment changes necessary in elementary schools on the Willoughby slope.

Catchment changes planned for Willoughby elementary schools MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Changes are coming to Willoughby elementary school catchments in the next two years, as the Langley School District attempts to alleviate enrolment pressures.

In a report presented to the board of education on Feb. 23, staff are projecting “fairly stable enrolments” in all but one Willoughby slope school: Richard Bulpitt.

A rapid increase in students from 456 this year to (an anticipated) nearly 1,200 by 2026 makes catchment changes necessary.

Although the final recommendation on new boundaries will not be made until June, a draft plan was discussed last Tuesday night.

If approved, the new boundaries will take effect in September, 2017 and will keep the current grade configurations of K-5, 6-8 and 9-12.

The biggest change is in the catchment area for Richard Bulpitt, which reduces dramatically in size to encompass 208 Street on the west, 80 Avenue on the north, 216 Street on the east and 74B Avenue on the south.

Lynn Fripps and Willoughby Elementary will accommodate the areas previously in the Richard Bulpitt catchment. R.C. Garnett will also grow in size, and

Langley Meadows will decrease.

These changes will put enrolment numbers for Langley Meadows, Lynn Fripps and RC Garnett in the mid 400s for the next 10 years, while removing pressure in other areas. There is also a proposal to potentially use the six classrooms and portable space at James Anderson Learning Centre at 20381 66 Ave. as an annex for RC Garnett for three years.

Ultimately, the board is hoping for approval from the provincial government to purchase additional land for a new elementary school in north Willoughby.

Superintendent Suzanne Hoffman says creating the new boundaries has been a difficult and complicated process, but “the lines inevitably had to be drawn.”

Staff used a combination of projection programs, local knowledge — and even drove through the community — to come up with the new areas.

Beyond the elementary schools, there are also still major issues with Yorkson Creek Middle School and R.E. Mountain Secondary School.

Yorkson Creek will require three additional portables in 2017/18, but there is no space left on the school property for them. They may need to use Township land, or the school’s parking lot.

And R.E. Mountain — which already has 16 portables — will need two or three more in 2017/18. The school is currently using both gyms at the Langley Events Centre Field House every day, and could be seeking future classroom space there as well.

Trustee Megan Dykeman commented that staff should investigate other options, like modular schools, which are used in the United States and Alberta.

“The kids shouldn’t be caught in the middle of a pingpong game — it’s ridiculous,” she said.

Trustee Rod Ross asked if neighbourhood learning centres, which are flex spaces often used for after school care, could be removed to make more classroom space.

And Trustee David Tod noted that the James Anderson building, which has been vacant since 2014, may not be seismically safe.

The next step is for school district staff to plan consultation meetings with parents and teachers at the affected schools.

Preliminary feedback has shown that parents are eager for a grandfathering program that will keep students together with their siblings and friends.

Members of the public are invited to provide feedback to the district by emailing feedback@ sd35.bc.ca.

Protesters gathered at the B.C. legislature last week to call for an additional increase in provincial disability assistance payments, which are due to go up this year for the first

time since 2007.

The increase of $77 a month is to take effect Sept. 1, for disability assistance that now pays $906 a month for a single person.

But the program is to begin deducting $52 a month for tran-

sit passes available to people who are able to use them, and that has sparked protests.

Social Development Minister Michelle Stilwell faced an angry opposition in the legislature after the rally, and again refused to

reverse the decision to charge for bus passes.

Stilwell said 45,000 people on disability assistance could not use a bus pass, and the change makes the rate fair for everyone.

Faith Bodnar, executive director of the advocacy organization Inclusion BC, told the rally her online petition opposing the change grew quickly to 100,000 people. She argued that bus pass or not, disability assistance rates remain too low.

“Government, all you did was equalize the poverty for people with disabilities in B.C.” Bodnar said.

Stilwell said the rate increase will cost $170 million over the next three years, and adding the bus pass funding to that would cost another $20 million.

She and Finance Minister Mike de Jong have insisted they will not retain a system that helps some people more than others.

De Jong said the government is aware of some people taking the free bus passes available to disabled people and selling them on the street for whatever cash they can get.

Those people will have the option of taking the entire $77 a month increase instead.

A single employable person without a disability receives $610 a month in income assistance, and that amount is not increased in the B.C. budget presented in February.

Family searches for canine stem cell match to help save their ailing pet MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

A Coquitlam family is desperate to save their 10-year-old goldendoodle, Jasper.

The dog was recently diagnosed with canine T-cell lymphoma and has been given about six months to live, unless he gets a stem cell transplant from one of his siblings.

Jasper was born in Langley on July 9, 2006.

Angela Szaito, with the help of her son, took to social media, hoping to find one of Jasper’s 12 litter mates.

“We have been so fortunate and have located three of Jas-

per’s siblings,” said Szaito.

“All three owners are so kind-hearted and willing to provide a blood sample from their dog to have the genetic testing done. Moreover, all three have generously agreed to go forward with the stem cell donation if their dog is a genetic match.”

But the more siblings they can find, the better the chance Jasper can be saved.

The family bought Jasper from a Langley breeder by the name of Christine Filipczyk.

She no longer breeds dogs. To further complicate matters, she lost her records in a fire.

“In the end, all we want is to

help our dog live out his days doing what he enjoys — swimming, running and most of all just being with his family,” she said.

While stem cell transplants aren’t available in Canada, a veterinarian in Bellingham is leading the treatment, which is reported to be a painless procedure. They are also offering a $5,000 reward if there is a match.

Anyone who has one of Jasper’s siblings and can prove its lineage is asked to contact jasperscure@gmail.com or go to the Facebook page Stem Cell Donor for Jasper.

OPINION

Brenda Anderson | 604.514.6751 | newsroom@langleytimes.com

Light up 16 Avenue The 16 Avenue corridor through Langley has seen more than its fair share of carnage over the years.

Whether the result has been severe injuries or, in the worst cases, fatalities, many 16 Avenue crashes have come as a result of a driver trying to cross the busy and fast-moving corridor at an uncontrolled intersection.

South Langley residents who live near 16 Avenue — or cross the busy road on a regular basis — have been calling for improved safety measures for years.

To be fair, several have already been made.

In a letter written to the Times last August, a resident noted that a number of improvements have been added over the years, including the installation of left turn lanes.

While these have smoothed east-west flow, he noted, they’ve also had the unintended effect of creating “an increased level of risk to motorists attempting to cross 16 Avenue north and southbound, specifically at the major intersections that have no traffic control signals.”

Plans to link Highway 1 to 16 Avenue via a King Road connector in Abbotsford will only add to the problem if measures aren’t taken to slow vehicles and create breaks in the traffic.

The obvious answer would seem to be more traffic lights.

And it’s a measure Township council is pondering .

From a business perspective, of course it’s important to keep trucks moving, and many drivers choose the 16 Avenue route because it’s relatively unencumbered by stop signs and red lights.

Whether they are timed, or vehicle-activated, the signals will slow the flow of traffic along 16 Avenue, no question.

But when the trade-off is in potential lives saved, it’s not much of a contest.

That’s old school when the mechanic would pop the hood and stand by the car while you explained things, took you for a drive and found the problem.

That’s why you went back there.

News release doesn’t tell whole story of senior advocate’s report

A patient is given a CAT scan. Writer Joe Sawchuk says such medical procedures should be scheduled on the basis of how urgent the patient’s need is, not according to who booked it first. He recommends a three-box check system for doctors to use, based on how long a patient can reasonably be expected to wait for an appointment.

without a cane while the other is walking with two canes, the present system is allowing the person not using a cane to have their operation first.

There is no sense of urgency. The person still walking without a cane should have the box checked off as “can wait,” and the person using two canes should have the box checked off as “can’t wait.”

All we hear about the present medical system is that we need more employees and longer operating hours. That is complete hogwash.

Put the above three-box check off system into action and the system and wait times would no longer be a factor.

JOE SAWCHUK,

Editor: I have been keeping track of the senior advocate’s reports, which are an excellent example of extensive research that outlines all aspects of the care that our seniors are receiving in this province.

Then I read her news release, which gains much more attention than the actual report does.

She has highlighted the rising problem of “resident-on-resident aggression” in care facilities, and stated that she would be looking for “systemic issues” that contribute to this problem.

I am disappointed by this statement because the solution to this problem is contained within the information in her report, which she failed to mention in her news release.

And that information is, that licensing violations have increased by 21 per cent since 2014.

And that the largest majority of those violations, at 44 per cent, are in the category of “care and supervision,” and 19.8 per cent in the category of “staffing.” And in assisted living, the largest percentage of complaints are in the category of “resident abuse, neglect, and self abuse”.

Eureka! I have discovered the obvious solution to improving the quality of care for our seniors, that oddly enough, the entire Health Ministry has failed to notice or acknowledge. And those are: An increase in staff levels, mandatory evaluations for the “appropriate type” of employees, and more training for dealing with dementia-related issues. All of these solutions to be found in a report that 90 per cent of B.C. citizens will never read.

Do you think that our tax dollars will now be saved because “looking for the systemic issues” should no longer be necessary?

Medical scans should be triaged Editor: The present health care system we have in effect is failing us big time.

There is no sense of urgency in the system. The system is run on a firstcome, first-served basis.

The doctor fills out the form for a medical procedure, hands the request to a receptionist who then makes the appointment.

We only live once with our bodies. We are not a car, boat, or a refrigerator, where waiting until parts are found is OK, because these items can still be repaired regardless of the time factor.

The exact opposite is true when it comes to our bodies, which are like a time bomb.

Time is of the utmost importance in medical issues.

The forms doctors fill out should have three option boxes that the doctor must check off — “can’t wait,” “can wait,” and “exploratory.”

After operations for cancer, for example, further CAT scans, MRIs, etc. are required.

The waiting times are too long for these further tests and the results mean nothing as the cancer has advanced, but if the test was done using “can’t wait,” further procedures could have been done to stop the cancer from spreading further.

Trudeau is standing up for Canada as a nation of peace Editor: Gord Wietzel’s letter (The Times, Feb. 19) was right about one thing: Justin Trudeau has indeed done it, and done it very well, backing away from somebody else’s misguided war on terror, fought under the guise of a military mission.

I for one am not the least bit ashamed.

That is why I waited on the first day at the voting booth to get rid

of an archaic regime that would rather make war, not love, not unlike what is happening in Syria right now.

The first casualty of war is always the truth, but the truth is that Canada has never been a nation that others despise, and this is because we are a kind, gentle people.

Imagine being born and growing up in a place where someone

in military fatigues represents death and destruction with a red white and blue flag on their arm, regardless of their NATO alliances.

We are all a product of our environment, so I say don’t worry about a NATO snub.

The only hope some of these people have are from those with red and white symbols, like the Red Cross and maple leaf “war-

riors” that deliver them.

As a country with barely 37 million residents with a baby boomer medical crisis explosion looming on the horizon, a poverty rate that is growing larger every day, and Syrian refugees to support, I think he made a move toward the future of life on this planet.

We have too many battles to fight right here to waste any more on precision guided explosives.

So, yes, the fault is entirely ours, and I for one am proud to say I am a Canadian.

Especially if I ever get to travel abroad.

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, for standing up for what Canada can be. A nation of peace and love, the other first casualty of war.

Time to take MSP off life support Volunteers and Donors Made Incredible Things Happen!

United Way volunteers and donors raised $25.1 million dollars during the 2015 campaign. This means 340,000 people will receive vital programs and services.

Thanks to this generous support, more children have opportunities to grow up great, more families move from poverty to possibility and our communities, and the people living here, are stronger and more vibrant.

The Scotiabank & United Way Community Spirit Awards took place on February 25, 2016. Over 700 workplaces contributed to this amazing community achievement.

The following organizations, unions and individuals were recognized for their outstanding support.

The B.C. Liberal government made a big show of selectively easing Medical Services Plan fees in its budget for the coming election year.

In what is becoming a pattern for Premier Christy Clark, the biggest beneficiaries are single parents.

The new MSP is calculated for adults only, so a single parent with two children saves as much as $1,200 a year.

Premium assistance is expanded, with discounts for single people making up to $42,000, rather than $30,000. But for singles, couples and seniors who don’t qualify for discounts, the rate is going up another four per cent effective Jan. 1, 2017.

Indeed, with population growth, the finance ministry expects its take from MSP premiums to rise every year, reaching $2.5 billion in the coming years.

MSP revenue covers about 17 per cent of B.C.’s health budget, and Clark and Finance Minister Mike de Jong insist that Canada’s only direct health care charge is a vital signal to people that health care isn’t free.

This argument has failed.

One seldom-discussed fact is that for half of the people charged MSP, it’s paid by their employers.

In private sector terms it’s a hefty payroll tax, creating one more obstacle for businesses to hire full-time staff with benefits.

So most full-time employees don’t receive this supposed-

Children exempted from MSP premiums Medical Services Plan premiums are being charged only for adults starting in 2017, and the qualifying income for reduced premiums is going up from $30,000 to $42,000 for single people.

The new system creates a break for single parents, who will pay a single adult rate of $78 a month instead of the current rate of $150 charged for a family of three. A single senior or single parent with one child and an income of $45,000 may also be eligible for reduced premiums.

The changes will reduce rates for an additional 335,000 people, and 45,000 more people will be exempted from paying as long as they are reg-

Q: What is a dental implant?

A: If you are missing one or more

teeth, you may want to consider having them replaced with dental implants.

A dental implant is an artificial root that is inserted into the jaw bone. A replacement tooth is then attached to the dental implant, which simulates the look and feel of your natural tooth.

Dr. Cheung, DMD Multiple implants may be used to Dentist replace multiple missing teeth, and a combination of single crowns, fixed bridges, or even removable dentures may be anchored onto these implants.

Dental implants are a comfortable and long-lasting option for healthy, suitable candidates. Speak with your dentist to determine whether dental implants are the best option for you. Your dentist may have special training in placing implants, or may refer you to a specialist for the procedure. Keep in mind that the whole process will require multiple appointments, typically spanning over a period of 4-6 months before completion. Lastly, just like your natural teeth, dental implants need to be properly cleaned and cared for – that way, they will last a lifetime in your mouth. #104-6424 200th St., Langley 604-533-3000 wcdentalctr@shaw.ca NEW PATIENTS WELCOME!

istered and qualify. But rates overall continue to rise. With a four per cent increase in personal rate this year and growing population, the government expects to collect more MSP each year of its three-year budget plan than with the current system.

B.C. is the only province that charges premiums for health services, and the NDP opposition has called for them to be eliminated as a regressive tax. De Jong argues that MSP covers only 14 per cent of a growing health care budget, and eliminating it would amount to hiding the cost in the general tax system.

‘We bought a vineyard’ Langley couple living their dream after purchasing vineyard, winery on Vancouver Island GARY AHUJA Tim es Reporter

Subm itted ph oto

Robin and Mike Nierychlo left Langley a few years ago to chase their dream of owning and operating their own vineyard and winery. In 2014, the couple bought Emandare Vineyard. They will be in Vancouver next Friday, sharing their story, as well as some of their wines, at Marquis Wine Cellars.

A little less than three years after chasing their dream, the rewards of their efforts are continuing to grow.

It all began in 2013 for Mike and Robin Nierychlo.

The couple — who were born and raised in Langley and actually first met when they were two years old — had moved to Victoria the year prior.

The original move was for a lifestyle change but in the back of their mind, the ultimate goal was to purchase and run their own vineyard and winery.

The pair both have business and project management backgrounds and Mike spent years working in the wine industry in a media capacity.

They created multiple business plans over the years, but

never knew if their plan would come to fruition.

“We had a doubt in the back of our minds that we would never find something that would fit,” he admitted.

But that all changed when they found a property in north Cowichan, which they purchased in September 2013.

“It was a perfect opportunity for us to take a giant leap of faith and dive in face-first in to what became a crazy journey and adventure,” Mike said.

“We were very aware of the challenges we would face. It is an insane amount of work.”

The vineyard is named after their first name initials — Emandare Vineyard.

The 8.5 acre property had long been neglected and they spent months removing weeds which were anywhere between three and eight feet tall.

The vineyard had previously served as a grower for other wineries, but the Nierychlos wanted to make their own wine as well. They thought about selling that 2014 crop to build more capital.

They ultimately decided to hang on to the crop and make their own wine. They even finished construction on a 3,000

square foot winery on their property in time for the September harvest.

“One of the most mental things we have ever done but it was so worth it,” Mike said.

“We made some incredible wine in 2014 and our reputation is starting to precede us.”

While this is their dream, the couple still has their day jobs.

Mike, 32, runs his own custom counter top business, and hung on to some of his bigger contracts, which brings him back to Langley and the Lower Mainland for work every month. Robin, 31, still works in health care in Victoria.

The couple will be in Vancouver next week (March 11) at Marquis Wine Cellars where they will share their story ‘We Bought A Vineyard.

It is also a free wine tasting.

From 3 to 4 p.m. there will be a media and VIP guest tasting for all Marquis customers and new guests. The wine tasting will be from 4 to 6 p.m. with wine talk and a meet and greet with the winemaker.

The event is being held at Marquis Wine Cellars (1034 Davie St.).

Chamber looking to expand licence program Program was first launched in Langleys as pilot project back in 2012 MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti m e s Re po r t e r

TO B U DA Y Y!

The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce is looking to expand the Inter-Municipal Business Licence program to include the entire Lower Mainland, from Hope to West Vancouver.

The program, which first launched as a pilot in the Langleys in 2012, allows mobile businesses to operate in more than one mu-

nicipality under a single licence, rather than purchase a different licence for each municipality they do business in.

The current mobile businesses licence grants coverage in the City of Langley, the Township of Langley, Surrey, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Maple Ridge, Mission, Hope, Pitt Meadows, Kent/Agassiz and Delta.

An expansion would offer coverage all the way to the

North Shore. This would be in addition to the four different mobile business licence programs already operating in the Lower Mainland: Fraser Valley, Metro West, North/West Vancouver and Tri-Cities.

Across the province there are 11 similar programs, with 73 municipalities participating.

“The expansion of the program will provide an opportunity for Lower Mainland businesses to further reduce the burden and confusion of managing multiple business licences, and encourage in-

creased compliance with the entire region,” Scott Johnston, president of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce, told Township council Monday night.

“We, as the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce, are recommending including the full region — an additional program — to provide an opportunity for mobile businesses to select a program that mostly suits their needs.”

The program lends itself best to businesses in the construction industry, although the Chamber’s goal is to eventually make it

accessible for all business sectors.

“At the present time, the initiative is … basically (for) construction-related or businesses that would attend a construction site.

And the reason for that is that the bylaws are very similar throughout (participating cities),” said Lynn Whitehouse, executive director of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce.

“But when you start to expand to include other sectors, that’s where we get into a little bit of a problem. So at this point in time, we aren’t recom-

Township honoured for environmental efforts Langley one of just 33 Canadian communities to achieve fifth and final milestone of program

“Bold leadership” to take action against climate change has earned national accolades for the Township of Langley.

A special recognition

ceremony was held in Ottawa recently (Feb. 10) by the Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) to acknowledge Canadian municipalities that recently

achieved milestones in its program to enhance the environment by reducing the amount of harmful greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced.

The PCP program, a partnership between the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and ICLEI — Local Governments for Sustainability — outlines a milestone-based framework to guide municipalities’ efforts to reduce emissions associated with their corporate operations by encouraging initiatives and setting goals.

Only 33 municipalities throughout the country have achieved the fifth and final milestone in the program, including the Township, which was presented with a trophy to recognize the accomplishment. Township Councillors Kim Richter and Petrina Arnason, who were participating in the FCM’s Sustainable Communities Conference, accepted the award on behalf of the Township.

“We are really pleased to have been a part of this important initiative and proud to be recognized for our success with the program,” said Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese.

“We all need to do our part to protect the environment and being responsible environmental stewards is something the Township takes seriously.

Our municipality is committed to creating a great quality of life for those who live here now and for generations to come, and it is important that we lead by example.”

In 2001, Township Council approved participation in the FCM’s Partners for Climate Protection program and committed to measuring and reducing corporate and community GHGs. During the course of the program, the Township created a baseline GHG emissions inventory, adopted a Corporate Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Plan, and put the plan to action.

Led by the Township’s Strategic Initiative’s department, employees through-

out the corporation worked to implement GHG-reducing measures, such as installing a geothermal system at the Aldergrove Water Treatment Plant and earning an E3 Fleet Gold Rating for excellence in fleet management and green performance.

As part of Milestone 5, which was completed in January of this year, staff completed the requirements of the program framework by conducting an updated GHG emissions inventory, documenting results from notable projects, and describing how stakeholders have been involved throughout the milestone process.

Although the program’s milestones have now been achieved, the Township will continue to find and implement innovative ways to protect the environment.

“We have wrapped up the corporate PCP framework, but the Township is still committed to maintaining our momentum on energy and emission reductions,” said Josh Power, Energy Programs Specialist for the Township.

“We are currently developing a Strategic Energy Management Plan to embed improved energy practices across all departments of the municipality.”

“The Township of Langley has shown bold leadership in addressing these important issues,” said FCM President Raymond Louie.

“Your local government is now in a leadership position to help mentor and encourage other municipalities that are working toward better energy and GHG management.”

Louie noted that, since 2008, municipalities in the PCP program have reported on more than 800 projects to reduce GHG emissions, representing more than $2.3 billion in investments and over 1.8 million tonnes in annual GHG reductions.

“Nothing can prepare you for having a sick child, but knowing that fundraisers like National Pancake Day are providing funds for the urgent needs of the hospital that saved Maya’s life, demonstrates the huge network of support for families like ours.”

Women have made huge advances across the business spectrum. They have become entrepreneurs who love to start and run businesses in the retail and service sectors.

Many business owners are economists, architects, lawyers, financial managers, accountants and more.

This is a time to celebrate the success of women in business – whether it’s a small business, a medium size operation, a large corporation or a non-profit organization where management and finance skills are just as important as the for profit world.

Angela Evennett, P R E C ,

Tell us about your career path. How did you get your start?

I had been married for almost 10 years and had 3 young children, but knew that my marriage was sadly coming to an end. I was a stay at home mum and I was aware that I needed not just a job, but a career. Real Estate was a natural choice for me as I loved people, and helping them, and had many office-related skills that I knew would help keep me on track with paperwork and contracts. I was also becoming a skilled negotiator with 3 children!

What advice would you give to young women entrepreneurs?

Stay strong and stay the course. I started at the bottom and worked my way to the top in just a few short years - as a single mum with 3 kids in tow! Ignore the nay-sayers! Focus on the goal, give it your all and don’t give up!

What is your unique selling point - something that sets you apart?

How long have you been in the business?

I am now in my 9th year and pride myself on ongoing and continued education in the Industry, including my recent Seniors Real Estate Specialist designation. I am consistently in the Top 3% of the Fraser Valley and top 5% in Canada with my Company, HomeLife Benchmark Realty.

Not only am I a dedicated hard worker, but I pay special attention to details and client needs. My tagline is “With You Every Step of the Way!”. It’s my job to lead and guide my clients, thereby relieving them of much of the stress involved in buying and selling real estate.

What is your secret to keeping customers coming in?

Why Langley?

I am originally from England, and moved to Canada in 1993. When I got married in 1999, we moved from Abbotsford to Langley, and I’ve been here ever since. I have raised my children here; attended Church, volunteered, been involved in the Community, and simply love it here! There’s no better place to be and I wouldn’t want to live or work anywhere else.

Over 85% of my business is referral business. I provide excellent service, going above and beyond, and consistently exceeding my client’s expectations which leads to a large referral network. Connecting on a personal level with clients and bringing much life experience to the table enables me to relate to a wide range of people from firsttime Buyers, divorcing couples, new parents and seniors and of course everything in between!

Why are you successful?

Do you have a short testimonial you want to share?

My success comes from an ingrained desire to do my best and be my best. I’m focused and very driven, and won’t allow negativity to sway me. My clients are my #1 priority and I have their best interests at heart. I also have 3 very hungry boys to feed! Success to me is also defined in my relationships with my colleagues and having good working relationships with them always helps clients in getting the best service possible.

From a happy Realtor: “Thank you for being so organized and for your clear communications - I really appreciate your professionalism and the fact that you had everything prepared and gave everyone time to be able to do their due diligence and present offers in a fair manner.”

TESTIMONIAL: From a happy client: “We’ve never seen service like this before.

Your attention to detail is outstanding and your patience, professionalism and calm attitude helps ease our stress.”

Angie Quaale WELL SEASONED GOURMET FOOD STORE Why did you get into this specific business?

Living in the Fraser Valley before Well Seasoned opened was quite frustrating for foodies.

I used to have to drive into Vancouver on weekends to buy specialty food items so I could cook on the weekends. I knew I wasn’t the only person in the Valley that wanted access to gourmet food & kitchen equipment so I decided to open Well Seasoned in 2004. It was also really important to me to provide access to locally made food.

In 2004, big grocery stores were squeezing out the independent, small scale producers leaving them with nowhere left to sell their products. I want choices in my food buying and if all of the food on the grocery store shelves is controlled by a few large companies, those choices become fewer and fewer every year. I didn’t want to see that happen!

Why Langley?

Barbara Boldt STUDIO GALLERY Tell us about your career path. How did you get your start?

Art has always been in my life, although the opportunity to start painting did not present itself until 1975. My need to paint in a realistic manner is part of my nature. My technique depends on my ability and understanding of the medium. Events in my life, be they joyful or traumatic, influence my choice of subject matter and have formed my philosophy.

Why did you get into this specific business?

The book PLACES OF HER

To me, Art is more than painting, it’s a way of thinking, a way of life.

It is finding meaning, and searching for the essence in existence.

Susan & Jena | MOTHER AND DAUGHTER OWNERS

As an elected Township Councillor, I might be slightly biased but...I think Langley is THE best place in BC to live. And, it truly is the HEART of food in the Fraser Valley! When you think of all the amazing food producers, wineries, breweries we have within just a few minutes of us, Well Seasoned is the perfect place to get all of the ingredients, advice and expertise you need to round out your menu or grocery list. When you think about shopping for food locally, we hope Well Seasoned is on the top of your list, part of your weekly grocery routine where you can get great, affordable everyday food items and super special items when you entertain or want to try something new!

PA R LO U R S PA. S A LO N. B A R B E R S H O P

What brought you to becoming a business owner?

Susan – The Spa and Salon business was a calling for as long as I can remember. I have always loved the feeling that guests that visit my family business feel better physically, feel more relaxed and walk out the front door with a special pride in themselves that will last for a very long time.

talented Bumble and Bumble trained hair artists. We also have a separate Men’s Den Barber Shop on-site for guys to come in for a haircut and straight-razor shave from our skilled barber. There’s really something for everyone at a price that provides a great value and experience in a relaxed atmosphere for all our guests.

How long have you been in business?

What about your company makes you most proud?

Susan – With a small family loan, I started the first incarnation of what is now The Parlour Spa. Salon.Mens Den over 23 years ago in a small space in St. Andrew’s Plaza in downtown Langley.

Humble beginnings is an understatement, but amazingly enough, in that old small space we began to develop our loyal and ever-growing clientele that continues to support us today in our new luxurious cutting edge 5,000 square foot location in Brookswood Village.

Susan - I am most proud of our team here at the Parlour. We are a family business and the Parlour team is an extension of our family. Our Parlour family has grown both in size and talent over the years through constant coaching, training and professional development. I am so proud every day to share in the personal and professional growth of my Parlour family team.

What is your unique selling point (USP) that sets you apart?

What advice would you give to young women entrepreneurs?

Susan – One word: Value. Raising two girls as a single mother on a single income, you understand very well the value of a dollar. Every dollar spent needs to mean something. I will not offer a product or service within our business that I am not confident provides the best value and experience for the price. We are a mother and daughter owned business, not a large corporate Spa or Hair Salon chain with pure profit-driven motivations. I know the daily financial demands that life can have, but everyone needs to be able to take care of themselves and feel good about themselves while not breaking the family budget.

What is your secret to keeping customers coming in?

Jena - Our value, talent and atmosphere. We have a 3,000 square foot soothing Spa complete with steam rooms and lounge specializing in RMT, esthetics and body therapy treatments.

Further, The Parlour has a 1,400 square foot industry-leading hair salon, staffed by a team of

Jena – The challenges of managing a young family while fulfilling a 24/7 responsibility to a business can feel overwhelming at times, but this should not prevent you from following your passion and becoming successful. First, develop a committed routine for your family to follow that maximizes your family quality time. Block unnecessary business distractions off during this time so that you can focus on life’s moments with your family. Second, identify your support network; the family and friends that can help you with the family responsibilities if and when an urgent duty at the business calls. Don’t be afraid to ask them for help. Third, have a reasonable business plan that makes sense in both a best and worst case scenario. Take the time to have friends, family or other business contacts challenge and critique your plans. Take the feedback positively and as an opportunity to view and update the business plan through benefitting from other individual’s experience.

BOZENA B O C H E N E K - PA P PA S

RUSTIC ROOTS

K O S TA R E S TA U R A N T

What motivated you to start/continue this business?

My journey in healthy living began years ago with concerns about my family’s health issues and the influence of diet and wellness practices. In 2008 I took a career course in which we were required to make a business plan for a future business we were passionate about ...I chose a safe gluten free eatery since my Mom was diagnosed as a celiac in 1971. I was painfully aware of the limited options she had for foods she could eat that tasted good. In my quest, I spent a lot of time at Country Life Health talking to now retired Cliff McNally. One day he offered me a job and it soon morphed into managing store. Everything about health became my passion. When Cliff retired, he offered the business to me and I jumped at the chance to realize my dream. Since Cliff ’s staff ,Bonnie and Lee, shared my passion and my dream, I asked them to join me in my new venture.

What about your company makes you most proud?

We are proud of our relationships with our customers...we listen to our customers’ needs and are continously investigating upcoming new trends in food and health.

We make our gluten free options a priority and research them carefully. We also research options for other food intolerances.

Proud of the fact that we listen to our instincts and now have included Roots Juice - our new juice and smoothie bar which has been welcomed by the community with open arms.

Why are you successful?

Customer service ; being able to provide excellent customers service and making sure that our customers are satisfied each time. By doing this we have been able to maintain loyal customers and built great relationships.

We have also from day one provide our customers with superior product which is providing authentic Greek cuisine at its best and live entertainment.

Why Langley?

We choose Langley because it is up and growing city.

Langley also offers an diverse community with a mix of culture. We also like that Langley is a family oriented city.

What about your company makes you most proud?

Despite so much competition and constantly having new restaurants entering the market, we still have been able to maintain and run a successful business for the past 16 years.

What is your community involvement?

What advice would you give to young women entrepreneurs?

Follow your passion. When you do what you love, it’s never a job. Be open to new directions because businesses need to evolve to keep competitive. As you follow your dreams, unimagined doors will open up and you have to be ready to welcome change. Having your own business is always an adventure and extremely rewarding!

LED QUANTUM LIGHT THERAPY

Why did you choose this specific business?

Over the years I saw family members, friends and acquaintances aging and as they did they all seemed to gain more aches and pains. Sometimes it was due to old injuries, however, all too often the aches and pains were related to conditions associated with the aging process. I, like everyone, am aware that we all age and that that process can bring with it a set of conditions that affect quality of life. My thought was to bring forward something real that would improve quality of life during that process. As an L.E.D. Light Therapist, I not only believe I can make a difference, I know I make a difference.

What is your secret to keeping clients coming back?

Our clients get results. It is truly that simple. When a client comes in with, for example, hip pain due to arthritis we support the body to reduce inflammation and the pain from the arthritis. In some cases, the pain totally disappears. Once our clients experience relief like that they trust us and keep coming back.

Why Langley?

How do you envision your business in 10 years?

Langley is the gem stone of the Fraser Valley. We live here among family and friends, and this community has it all; civic pride, community spirit, and great shopping along with amenities and care facilities. Its central location for the Valley and its freeway accessibility for those who live in the city make Langley the place to live and work.

The brilliant Dr. Jacob Liberman wrote a book called “Light: Medicine of the Future”. In his book, Liberman explains the many advances and uses for light therapy today. He then explains that due to the effective, non-invasive and side-effect free nature of light therapy and the countless conditions it can be used for makes light therapy the next logical evolution in medicine. With that being said I see my clinic, the first of its type in Canada, thriving and being held as an example for others to follow.

Why are you successful?

Because our service is “Old School,” should you call during office hours a real person answers the phone and is there to answer queries, give directions, book appointments or connect you with one of our knowledgeable therapists. When you arrive at our state-ofthe-art L.E.D. Light Therapy Clinic you are greeted by polite courteous individuals who have your health, comfort and best interest at heart. Our clinic’s spa-like environment lends to a relaxing therapeutic visit where our main goal is to listen to our clients and serve them. On top of all that the therapy we offer really works. So, you are treated with respect in a comfortable inviting environment, we listen, we serve and get results. That is why we are successful.

What advice would you give to young women entrepreneurs?

Find your passion. You know that one thing that makes you want to get out of bed each morning with a smile on your face and the enthusiasm to carry you through no matter what that day brings. Develop that passion into a product or service people need. Believe in yourself no matter what. And know that every one of us, who have gone before you, have had our ups and downs, doubts and fears, financial concerns and questions. Those who have made it, started with a passion, made a plan, listened to success stories and at times simply putting one step in front of the other until it worked. Be flexible, change your game plan when needed and surround yourself with people who believe in you.

Why did you get into this specific business?

MERIT KITCHENS

Kitchens are my passion. I enjoy seeing a customer get excited about the planning and execution of a new space.

How long have you been in business?

I have been involved in design and kitchens for more than 21 years.

What about your company makes you most proud?

After an early retirement, I jumped into the world of food trucks. “Hot Grandma’s Kitchen” was almost a overnight success. The secret was “having something for everyone on the menu, from dad to kids and dessert as well!” I took the food truck on the road to several festivals, including the Chilliwack Food Truck festival and the first day, there was a lineup of hundreds outside of the truck. The food truck business only reinforced my belief that this was the road I should continue on, and even though it can be exhausting, it is worth it. When the previous owner of Prairie Cottage decided to sell, I took the opportunity to purchase the business.

MAGNOLIA GARDENS A BRIA COMMUNITY

Tell us about your career path... How did you get your start?

What about your company makes you most proud?

When I was 37 years old, and my three sons were independent teenagers, a friend asked me to manage his woodworking business. One opportunity led to another, and then another. Eventually, I reconnected with a former colleague who encouraged me to study and receive my Real Estate license, which led to a great opportunity with Century Group in 1998. I was later asked to market Magnolia Gardens, the retirement phase of a master planned community known as The Meadows, which was completed in 2001.

We’re a locally-owned seniors’ community, which means we can get things done with a simple phone call. All of our Bria staff know that they make a difference in people’s lives every day, and we all have a genuine sense of belonging to something larger than ourselves. The overwhelming thanks we get from family members, and the level of resident satisfaction, gives all of us a great sense of pride.

Why did you get into this specific business?

Marketing to seniors gave me real insight into the challenging decisions that older people face when downsizing from their homes. I was truly compelled by hearing their needs and thoughts, and when I could assist them in their decision I felt great satisfaction to know I was making a real impact in their lives. Having completed the marketing after a year or more, I came to the point where I had to make a choice to go back to real estate full time or stay on as manager of Magnolia Gardens. My heart had become so involved with all of the residents there, I found that I wanted to assist in providing them with the best possible experience. I found that I didn’t want to leave... I had found my place.

Who said retirement living couldn’t be fun?

What is your secret to keeping customers coming in?

Everybody who visits — whether it be family, friends or even suppliers — comments that Magnolia just ‘feels different’. We have lots of tours and lunches, and we hear over and over again that this place is warm, welcoming and feels like home. Part of this feeling is that we are all so focused on the quality of life we can bring to our residents, which shows in everything we do. All seniors deserve to be treated with respect. I still learn valuable lessons from my residents each day and I feel privileged to have so many people to guide me along the way.

What is your community involvement?

For one, we are one of the founding members of the Fraser Valley Transportation Co-operative, which provides a transportation option to seniors, alternative to bus ownership. I also have a personal involvement, along with our Director of Care, in the Langley Care Initiative, a task force of medical professionals and several other seniors’ communities to solve issues around elder care.

What advice would you give to young women entrepreneurs First, it doesn’t matter how old you are when you enter the workforce, everyone needs to start sometime. Second, be true to your personal values and convictions, find something you love doing and do it to the best of your ability. And finally, cultivate your transferrable skills and think outside the box... being flexible and agile will help lead you to opportunities you have not yet imagined.

MLA, LANGLEY

When did you start your journey to become a Notary Public?

How did you get your start?

In addition to the traditional services notaries are known to provide, Notaries in BC can process the transfer of property. This includes buying, selling, and refinancing property. BC Notaries can also prepare your Personal Planning documents which include Wills, Powers of Attorney, Representations Agreements, and Advance Directives (formerly known as a Living Will).

Several years ago, my best friend and mentor, Heather Stillwell convinced me to run for School Trustee in Surrey, I loved the work and seemed to have a talent for it and in the 2005 Provincial Election I decided to run for the MLA seat in Langley. I have been an MLA in Langley for almost 11 years and have I also served as the Minister Transportation and Infrastructure, Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, Minister of Children and Family Development and Minister Responsible for Child Care, Minister of Healthy Living and Sport, and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health for the Conversation on Health and most recently I was appointed Minister of Environment June 10, 2013.

Who should have a Will?

Why did you get into this specific business?

• Anyone who has assets; • Anyone who is married; • Anyone who has kids – minor, adults, and disabled kids; and • Anyone who has a blended family.

This is an exciting profession and one never knows what to expect from one day to the next. Representing Langley for almost 11 years now and I still feel passionate about the job. It gives me great satisfaction to know that I can play a part in the future of this province. There are a great many demands on my time and I have very little personal life but I have been given the opportunity to do this and for that I will always be grateful.

I started my journey to become a notary public seven years ago when I returned to school to finish my degree and then my Masters degree, which are the requirements to become a BC Notary Public.

What can a BC Notary Public do?

What happens if a person dies without a Will?

• Someone has to apply to court to get appointed as an Administrator; • Legislation sets out who will get your estate and how much they will get; • The government will decide who will take care of your minor/disabled children; and • YOU DO NOT HAVE CONTROL!

BUY-LOW FOODS (BROOKSWOOD)

Tell us about your career path. How did you get your start?

I have worked in the grocery industry for over 18 years. I started as a cashier and have worked in various other departments on my way to becoming a Store Manager.

I attended Kwantlen Polytechnic University for Business Management and graduated in 2007. I was very happy to join Buy-Low Foods in 2012 where I have continued to grow in this continually changing industry.

Why did you get into this specific business?

I chose the grocery industry because of the diversity of my day to day activities. There are constantly changes with the products that we carry based on our interactions with our customers. As their needs change so do ours. I also really enjoy working with my team. We have a diverse staff all in different points in their careers. Dealing with the needs and wants of my customers, my team, and our community make this business a challenging and rewarding industry to be a part of.

Why Langley?

Langley, in particular Brookswood, is a great community to be a part of. They are a community that supports each other. We are proud to be here and to be a part of this community.

BUY-LOW FOODS TURNS 50!

We want to do something very special for our customers for whom we have had the privilege of providing savings without sacrificing on quality, service or price these past 50 years.

Our goal was to show our people and customers a year of commemorating. A 50th anniversary is an unrepeatable moment in your company’s history and we want to share it with our people and customers. Along the way we wanted to remember and tell stories about our actions in the business, how the company operated in the beginning and how we have grown into the company we are today.

50 years is something to celebrate and we are doing it bigger and better than ever with the Buy-Low Foods 50th Anniversary Promotions.

LANGLEY LODGE SENIOR’S RESIDENCE

FA S H I O N A D D I T I O N 14+

Tell us about your career path. How did you get your start?

Tell us about your career path. How did you get started & how long in Business?

My career began in the 70’s after graduating from BCIT as a Registered Psychiatric Nurse. I worked in a variety of settings as a nurse and one of the most rewarding was and still is for me, working with the elderly.

Why did you get into this specific business?

I have been the CEO of Langley Care Society for 6 years and I look forward to going to “the Lodge” every day because it is a vibrant, dynamic place to work and to belong to. Everyone who works or volunteers with us, are genuinely caring people and devoted to our shared purpose of making every day meaningful for our residents. That’s why our tagline is “people caring for people”.

What makes Langley Lodge unique?

It is the spirit in Langley Lodge that really gets the most attention. Besides our exemplary care which we have a great reputation for, I also hear from many families, visitors, volunteers, staff, suppliers and students that Langley Lodge is “a place with a buzz”. There is always something going on, and lots of social gatherings, and events. The atmosphere is lively and fun; many visitors share time with our residents to ensure they have social time and companionship; our wonderful staff provide activities, music, beautiful gardens, and the necessary personal care with respect for the comfort and dignity of our residents.

What about your company makes you most proud?

I am proud to be a member of this organization, and to have the time and opportunity to lead such a dedicated team of care givers and volunteers. Langley Lodge is an organization that we can all take pride in, and that has raised the Langley brand provincially as a caring, giving community.

I have been with Fashion Addition for almost 22 years now. I started my Retail career with Saan Stores 30 years ago working here in Langley & North Delta. 22 years ago I thought I wanted a change a chance to work in a quiet little office but I found I needed to be surrounded by people and fashion once again so I started on my career path with Fashion Addition 14+ Managing the North Delta Store as the company grew Bill & Marilyn Booth (Owners) gave me the opportunity to move forward with the company working as their Company Supervisor.

What motivated you to continue this business?

Working for Fashion Addition I have been inspired and motivated by many amazing people, starting with the owners Bill & Marilyn, their passion for filling the void of designer fashions for the Curvy Fashionista is contagious. Every day I am inspired by new designers, new fabrics, new styles and new fashion trends. When I think about the amazing team of women I work with here at Fashion Addition I cannot help but smile, each manager & each sales associate brings something new to the table. I have enjoyed watching women join our Fashion Addition Family as part time sales associates wanting nothing more then to be able to play dress up with clients and build amazing wardrobes for themselves, and then they suddenly get the “Bug”, the “Passion” for retail and they want to learn everything there is to know about the business.

What about your company and position makes you most proud?

When asked me why I have I stayed with Fashion Addition for this long there is only one answer, I am proud to work for this company. We strive to provide the Curvy Fashionista with amazing Designer Fashions and a World-Class shopping experience. If you haven’t been into one of our stores, take the time to give us a visit and experience the wonderful world of designer fashions for the full figured women.

What is it that keeps your Clients returning to Fashion Addition?

We have built strong relationships with our clients and strive to provide the plus size women with amazing Designer Fashions and a World-Class shopping experience.

EARS HEARING CLINICS – LANGLEY

Why did you get into this specific business?

Have you ever felt that you were just meant to do something? I did not choose this path - it chose me. After high school I completed a two year program. While looking for my ‘real’ job I took an interim position as a receptionist at a hearing clinic. After a few months an opportunity was presented to me. My employers saw something in me that I did not recognize and offered to provide me the necessary schooling to become a Registered Hearing Instrument Practitioner. Fast forward 23 years, I look back on making that decision to abandon my original plan and I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity I was given. This career has become one of the most fulfilling jobs I could have ever hoped for.

What motivated you to start this business?

I had the pleasure of working for a small, successful, hearing clinic for nearly 20 years.

As I think of what a ‘Mom & Pop’ family owned business is – this is where I worked for most of my career. Working for a family business has a very different feel and vibe to the way business is done. Plain and simple, it’s looking out for the best interests of our clients and their specific needs. Once my employers entered into retirement I worked for another hearing company that was large, successful and opened me to opportunities that I never could have had working at a small clinic. But the client’s needs were not being met. It was about achieving a monthly budget. This wasn’t the direction I wanted for myself or my clients. In 2012 my husband and I decided to take a leap of faith and open up our own company and go back to the basics of providing great service and to never sacrifice a client’s needs. April 2013 Ears Hearing Clinics was open for business.

Why Langley?

I’ve lived in Langley my entire life. Although the once little town of Langley has turned into a much bigger city we still have that small town feel among us. The City of Langley

especially. My dad owned his own produce market for 30 years. He taught me the importance of supporting your local/community businesses. It’s what keeps our local economy going!

What is your secret to keeping customers coming in?

I’m hoping that when people are at the time in their lives to either be curious about hearing aids or know they could benefit from hearing aids realize that ‘service and follow-up care’ are absolutely crucial to the success of their hearing aids. Hearing aids are not an overnight success, they take a lot of time and patience to be successful. The secret that keeps our customers coming back is our staff. That is not something that you can get anywhere else. Kim and Stephanie treats anyone who walks through our doors like a member of the family. Our staff makes Ears Hearing Clinics different from any other clinic around because we are only interested in our client’s need.

What are some of your current promotions, do you have an event or milestone coming up that you want people to know about?

Ears Hearing Clinics – Langley is excited to present our “5th Annual 60+ Lifestyle Expo” is coming up on Thursday, May 26, 2016. We are very excited to be partnering this year with The Langley Times, The City of Langley and The Township of Langley. We have a great day lined up with some pretty wonderful speakers – Global TV Medical Expert, Dr. Art Hister, Licensed Naturopathic Physician of Fort Langley Integrated Health, Dr. Erin Rurak & CKNW Radio Host Maureen McGrath. Come and join us for this FREE event on Thursday, May 26, 2016 from 9:30-2:30 at our new venue: TIMMS COMMUNITY CENTER, 20399 Douglas Crescent, Langley.

DESIGNER EYEWEAR

Tell us about your career path. How did you get your start?

I started working in the Optical department at Sears in Burnaby, I was taking Nait courses at the same time. Optician - 2 years, Contact Len Fitter - 2 years. I learned as much as I could while working.

Why did you get into this specific business?

I like science and people, actually I looked in the yellow pages and wrote down all of the businesses that interested me, than went over them again to eliminate. Optician was the one I ended up with.

How long have you been in business?

What about your company makes you most proud?

We are proud to have our own brand name eyeglass frames, Debbie Mozelle Brand.

Do you have a testimonial you want to share?

For more than 25 years Debbie Mozelle Designer Optical has been proud to serve the community with a smile. The combination of hard working staff and friendly fun atmosphere coupled with fair pricing make Debbie Mozelle an obvious choice for glasses.

25 years, we are in our 25th year.

What motivated you to start/continue this business?

I knew that with my friendly attitude that I could make it, I love selling eyeglasses; it is my passion.

Why Langley?

I live in Langley and have lived here for 33 years.

What is your unique selling point, something that sets you apart?

We give away trips to Mazatlan Mexico every three months. We give away three trips a year, check our website. www.debbiemozelle.ca/aboutus.

What is your secret to keeping customers coming in?

We have exciting frame styles not available anywhere else. Our prices are reasonable.

We direct bill the insurance companies to reduce out of pocket expense for the customer.

What is your community involvement?

I volunteer at the Langley Lodge on the first Tuesday of every month. Free eyeglass adjustments and repairs for all residents.

Why are you successful?

I pay attention to my customers needs. I care about my customers. We do eyeglass maintenance everyday as part of our service.

How do you envision you business in 10 or 20 years?

I will still be around, why quit doing something that you have a passion about. I like people.

What advice would you give to young women entrepreneurs?

If you do not know what you want to do for a career, just make it simple. Look in the yellow pages, all of the businesses are listed there. Write down the ones that interest you and ??? them.

What are some of your current promotions, do you have an event or milestone coming up that you want people to know about?

Are glasses cheaper on the internet?

This year is our 25th year. Our next WIN A TRIP TO MAZATLAN is on March 26th.

No, by the time you receive them you are wondering what they will look like. In our store you can see what you buy before you pay.

My customers caught this Blue Marlin on November 28th 2015

Trio golden at BC’s Three gold, one bronze for Langley wrestlers at provincial championships GARY AHUJA Tim es Reporter

JOHN MOR R OW Black Press

Brookswood’s Trevor Weltzin has his opponent tied up his opponent during his semifinal match last week at the B.C. high school wrestling championships in Abbotsford. Weltzin won gold in his weight class.

After failing to land on the podium as last year’s provincial championships, Trevor Weltzin was determined not to let that happen again.

Weltzin finished fourth at last year’s championships, but another year older and stronger seemed to have done the trick as the Grade 12 Brookswood Secondary student won gold in the boys’ 70-kg division over the weekend.

“I don’t like losing,” he admitted when asked how much last year’ loss in the bronze medal match motivated him.

The provincial championships were held on Feb. 27 and 28 at Abbotsford’s Ag Rec Centre.

Weltzin went 5-0 at the meet and was also named the championships’ most outstanding wrestler. He did not concede a single point over those matches and Weltzin finished the season at 25-0.

His gold was one of three firstplace finishes for Langley high

school wrestlers as a pair of D.W. Poppy students also won their respective classes.

Pritpaul Johal, a Grade 10 student, won gold in the boys’ 51-kg division, defeating the defending provincial champion in the final match.

And Grade 8 Poppy student Parmjot Sidhu won the boys’ 41-kg competition. He did not concede a single point en route to the gold.

The three gold medals are the first time a Langley high school wrestler has finished atop the podium at provincials.

Langley Secondary’s Kamil Golowko — who won bronze at provincials in 2015 — moved up the podium this year to silver in the boys’ heavyweight (110-kg plus) division.

Poppy’s Manraj Johal (boys 74-kg) placed fourth.

As a team, the Redhawks finished fourth in the standings with 40 points, just two back of third place and nine back of top spot.

Tyler Tsoukalas (LSS) finished provincials in the top 10 with a 4-2 record. And a trio of female wrestlers also competed at provincials. Ella Hadalin (DWP, Ella Jimenez (DWP) and Caitlin Bartakovic (LSS), and did not place but did gain valuable experience.

Gators rally falls short GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The Walnut Grove Gators fought hard in the second half, clawing their way back from an eight-point deficit to cut the lead down to a single point in the latter stages of the fourth quarter.

But a huge three-pointer from Brentwood College School’s Olamide Ollatunbosun with the shot clock winding down proved to be too much to overcome for the Gators.

The two schools were playing in the gold-medal game of the B.C. junior boys provincial basketball championships on Tuesday night at the Langley Events Centre.

The game was played in front of close to 1,000 fans.

Ollatunbosun’s shot put Brentwood College up 46-42.

After the Gators cut the lead to 46-43, the Vancouver Island boarding school iced the victory with five free throws to prevail 51-43. “(Brentwood’s) defence was relentless,” said Walnut Grove coach Chris Bertoia. “We could not get within six feet of the rim. Their defence was absolutely amazing.”

“Usually our offence dictates the pace of the game (but) there defence dictated the game,” he added.

“There was nothing we could do.”

Brentwood College was the No. 4 seed and knocked off No. 1 Handsworth 58-51 in Monday night’s semifinal. In the other semifinal, the No. 2 Gators defeated No. 3 Kitsilano 62-55, avenging their only other loss of the season. For the year, Walnut Grove finished 33-2.

Bertoia said his players were devastated after the loss.

“The boys knew they played their hearts out, they knew they worked as hard as they could,” he said. “There are 300 teams (in the province) and we finished second.”

“It is pretty tough, all the work you put in over the entire year,” said Luke Adams, a Grade 10 player and captain on the team.

“At that moment, it felt worthless. But a second place finish in the province is nothing to hang your head about.”

James Woods — a first team all-star — led the Gators with 14 points while Luke Adams had 11 points and Dannon Stern had nine points as he hit a trio of threepoint shots in the fourth quarter to get Walnut Grove back in the game.

Azino Tyrell Urefe was named a second team all-star for Walnut Grove.

Kodiaks look to build on last year’s experience GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The Credo Christian Kodiaks set the tone early, not allowing a single basket in the opening 10 minutes.

Buoyed by that strong start on the defensive side of the ball, the Kodiaks senior boys basketball team cruised to a 68-42 victory over the Unity Christian Flames.

The two senior boys basketball teams were playing in the Fraser

Valley 1A championship game on Saturday night at Chilliwack’s Unity Christian.

“Winning Fraser Valleys was one of our goals form the start,” said Kodiaks coach Justin Vanderploeg. “At the beginning of the year it was very apparent we had the talent to do it.

We just had to put in a lot of work (and) the boys did just that and it was really nice to see the hard work pay off.”

Credo Christian was

the top seed at Fraser Valleys and they beat Agassiz 85-47 in the quarter-finals and Meadowridge 69-54 in the semifinals.

The Kodiaks went 6-2 in league play and 14-7 overall.

In the most recent high school rankings, the Kodiaks came in at seventh.

The team returns five players from last year’s squad which finished fourth at the B.C. provincial 1A champion-

ships, tying an all-time best for the program.

“Last year was our first year to provincials in a long time so we are hoping to build on that experience with a better finish this year,”

Vanderploeg said.

“Now we have a better idea going in the kind of hard work it will take to be successful there.”

At Fraser Valleys, Dustin Flokstra was

named an all-star while Levi Leyenhorst was the most valuable player. “(Levi) played a great tournament, especially in the finals,” Vanderploeg said. “He does a

great job running our offence from the point and scores the ball very well.”

The provincial championships run March 9 to 12 at the Langley Events Centre.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Brookswood Bobcats’ Ryan Ly looks to make his move during his team’s opening round game at the B.C. junior boys provincial basketball championships at the Langley Events Centre. The ’Cats went 2-3, closing their season with a 49-39 win over the Charles Hays Rainmakers on Tuesday.

Four earn PacWest all-stars Four former Langley volleyball stars have earned all-star accolades.

University of the Fraser Valley’s Isaiah Dahl and Joel Kleingeltink — who attended Langley Christian — and Douglas College’s Carson Heppell were honoured as PacWest Conference second team all-stars last week.

And Columbia Bible College’s Ryan Newman was named to the conference all-rookie team.

Newman and Heppell both attended Langley Fundamental.

Kleingeltink is a fourth-year outside hitter for the Cascades and he finished third in the league in both total offence (4.05 points per set) and kills (3.35/set).

Dahl, a second-year libero, led the conference in digs per set (3.69) and was tied for first in total digs (277) despite missing four matches.

Heppell, a second-year outside hitter for the Royals, had 2.67 kills per set and 3.48 points per set.

Newman had 3.41 points per set and 2.77 kills per set.

149 athletes from the Fraser Valley competed at the 2016 BC Winter Games bringing home 86 medals.

Thank you to the coaches, officials, volunteers, and families who support these growing champions.

“I feel strongly that by listening to people, we are making better project decisions.”

- Lexa Hobenshield, External Relations Manager, Kinder Morgan Canada

For more than four years, we’ve worked together with our neighbours and local communities to hear what they have to say about our proposed pipeline expansion.

By listening closely and having an open dialogue, we’ve been able to create a stronger, safer and more responsive project. We are working to meet all the requirements of the regulators, as well as consulting with communities, Indigenous people, government agencies and municipalities – and we’ll continue to work with them throughout development, construction and operations. We know how critical it is to get this right. Most importantly, we’re acting on what we hear with significant changes to the Project.

How feedback has resulted in a stronger, safer and better project: • • • • • • •

A $100 million investment in the West Coast Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) for marine safety enhancements.

A commitment to offset any greenhouse gas emissions resulting from construction.

An increase in safety valves along the pipeline from 94 to 126.

An increase in pipeline wall thickness in sensitive areas, such as urban locations and at river crossings.

Routing of the pipeline to avoid 22 crossings at fish-inhabited rivers including the Fraser, upper North Thompson, Albreda, Coldwater and Coquihalla.

Routing to avoid environmentally sensitive areas, such as Cheam Wetlands and three BC Class A parks.

Routing of the pipeline to minimize community impacts to the Westsyde neighbourhood in Kamloops and the Westridge neighbourhood in Burnaby.

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

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

Rena was amazing! She knew all the answers to the many questions… We ended up with the Pathfinder and because she was so thorough we didn’t have any questions at the end. Rena made us feel that our business really mattered to her. We didn’t feel like just another sale which is so nice. This is our 3rd Nissan and we know why! Lisae

We bought a Nissan Juke and had a wonderful buying experience at Jonkers. Our salesman Mr. Vonn Chan is not pushy and very knowledgeable. We shopped around and Vonn gave us the best deal! Aileen Mendozae

LEANEY

Kenneth Charles August 30, 1934 - January 31, 2016 The family is saddened to announce the passing of Ken at Royal Jubilee Hospital on January 31, 2016 of complications following heart surgery.

Leaving to mourn the loss of their best friend are his wife of 59 years, Marlene, son Douglas (Aga) and daughter Susan Hagan. He is also survived by his brother Doug (Helga) and his beloved granddaughters, Nan and Zosia, and Ebony and Ashley Rose, sisters-in-law Brenda (Ted) and Marj (Bob), brother-in-law Jim (Brenda) and many nieces and nephews.

Ken was born August 30, 1934 to Edward and Gladys Leaney in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The family moved to Calgary shortly after and lived there for several years before settling in Penticton where he finished his schooling. He met Marlene soon after he graduated and when the opportunity arose to join the jewellery business, he moved to Chilliwack to work for Don Lange Jewellers.

He and Marlene were married in 1956 and were moved to Langley to manage the store there. In 1966 he and Marlene purchased the store and for the next 27 years worked together.

Ken was always very active in the community. He belonged to the Kinsmen Club of Langley and in 1972 was made District Governor for B.C. He was also honored with a Life Membership.

In the sixties, Ken organized Langley Days, which became a popular community affair.

In December 1989 the couple sold the business and retired to Qualicum Beach. In 1993 Ken founded the Parksville Probus Club and was President for three years. He went on to become President of Probus Canada for two years.

Ken loved to laugh, loved people and most of all enjoyed coffee with his buddies every day at Bailey’s.

A Celebration of Life will be held March 19, 2016 at 2pm at St. Stephen’s United Church in Qualicum Beach.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the First Open Heart Society in Victoria, B.C.

MCKENZIE Terrel “Terry” 1948 - 2016

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Terry on Wednesday, February 24th, 2016.

Terry was born on November 11th, 1948 in Westlock, Alberta to Thomas and Norma McKenzie. He married Lorraine Carrington in 1972 and they had 2 wonderful children, David and Trisha.

Terry worked in construction all his life and it was one of his many passions. When not working, Terry could be found enjoying himself in the great outdoors or occupying his time with one of his many projects. He was an avid hunter, fisherman and a skilled craftsman.

He loved to go camping or hunting with family and friends or just for a quiet drive into the mountains.

Terry was predeceased by both of his parents. Terry is survived by his loving wife Lorraine, his son David (Leah), and his daughter Trisha (Jarl) and his amazing grandchildren Bailey, Tanner and Bo and his four legged friends Otis and Joey.

A memorial service for Terry will be held at First Memorial Funeral Services Fraser Heights Chapel in Surrey, BC 14835 - Fraser Highway in Surrey, BC on Saturday, March 5th, 2016 at 1:00 pm.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Tiene 30 DIAS DE CALENDARIO despues de que le entreguen citacion y papeles legales para presentar una respuesta por escrito en esta corte y hacer que se entregue una copia al demandante.

Puede encontrar estos formularios de la corte y mas informacion en el Centro de Ayuda de las Cortes de California (www.sucorte.ca.gov), en la biblioteca de leyes de su condado o en la corte que le quede mas cerca.
