District’s plan causes anger ‘Keep our community together’ plead concerned parents MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

Noah Vrionis is legally blind and has cerebral palsy. Faced with these and a number of other learning disabilities and psychological challenges, he represents everything that is wrong with the Langley Board of Education’s plan to bus the Grade 6 and 7 students of R.C. Garnett Elementary to another school, his mother, Tania Vrionis said. Vrionis, the executive director of the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation, said that Noah will be profoundly affected by the plan. “I am here to tell you tonight that my son is your worst case scenario,” an emotional Vrionis told the Langley board of education, senior school district staff and hundreds of parents at a public hearing at R.C Garnett Demonstration Elementary on Wednesday evening (Feb. 8). Vrionis is one of dozens of parents angered by the School District’s solution to end the ongoing issue of overcrowding at R.C. Garnett by busing the Grade 6 and 7 students to another school. “We chose to live in a neighbourhood where transportation was not an issue,” Vrionis said. “We’ve done the alternate transportation route before. We chose to live across the street from an elementary school that teaches to Grade 7. We did this for him. This was not supposed to happen.” She told trustees staff: “It’s time to consider the impact that your decisions make on children with special needs. Those children, no matter how few in number, are effected the most. Consider them first, not last.” According to the Langley School District, R.C. Garnett, which opened in 2006, has a top capacity of 350 students. There are currently 565 enrolled and many are housed in portable classrooms outside. The

taxpayers of this Township, for we are the ones that pay for this board,” said Clint Lee, father of a Grade 5 student. Lorraine Baldwin, co-president of the Parent Advisory Council at R. C. Garnett, says the issue has “shaken our community to its core.” “This is not a two-year plan that works for us. Another two-year plan would be to home school everybody, but that wouldn’t work either. “Keep our community together. Show our children that you value them just as much as the children you propose to move into the school. Listen to what our community says will work. We live and breathe it everyday. We know.”

Allied Windows in Aldergrove, a 65,000 square foot manufacturing facility with 175 employees, is being closed by Atis Group Inc., the Montreal-based window and door maker that bought it in 2007. The news was reported in a Montreal newspaper Wednesday (Feb. 8) and confirmed by an employee at the plant when The Times phoned later the same day. “We just got the news,” the woman said, adding all queries could only be answered by the head office. A spokesman for Atis in Quebec did not immediately return phone calls from The Times. The report that ran back east said Atis was closing the Allied plant “due to overcapacity.” At the same time, Atis said it plans to spend $3 million to increase capacity at its Solarcan plant in Longueuil, at its

Horse in ditch was ‘exhausted’ DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

The veterinarian who examined an emaciated former racehorse after it landed in a Langley ditch in December of 2008 said the chances of recovery were not good, even if “Buddy” had been taken to a veterinary hospital as he suggested. Dr. Antonio Cruz, a veterinary surgeon who specializes in treating horses, was testifying Monday at the Surrey Provincial Court trial of Mark Marohn, a former Langley veterinarian who was charged with causing an animal to be in distress and failing to provide “necessaries” for an animal after an RCMP officer said the underweight horse was being used by Marohn to tow his car out of a ditch. Called by the SPCA to assist with the extraction of a horse from a ditch, Cruz said he arrived at the scene to find a crowd of people, including police and fire officials. “Obviously there was something going on beyond a horse in a ditch,” he said. Buddy was lying on his right side in the ditch, a few metres north of a blue car that was “almost” off the road, Cruz said. The former racehorse was covered in a blanket. On removing the blanket, Cruz said he observed Buddy had lost a “significant” amount of weight. “The horse was in poor body condition,” Cruz said. Its ribs were showing, its neck was thin, the neck bones were prominent and muscles that should have been convex were concave, Cruz said. On a scale from one to nine, where one

$100,000 damage in barn fire A generator is being blamed for a barn fire that caused between $75,000 and $100,000 damage to a barn in the Yorkson neighbourhood of Willoughby at about 9 a.m. on Saturday. The blaze, at 20708 84 Ave., was reported to the Township fire department at 9 a.m. and was fought by firefighters from Willoughby and Walnut Grove halls. Fire department spokesman Bruce Ferguson said that the generator was being used to supply power to the barn. There was no sign of illegal activity, and no one was injured, Ferguson said.

Legion trashed NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

When the Langley Legion was locked up for the night on Dec. 30, there was still someone in the 56 Avenue building. Whoever it was had apparently hidden with one purpose in mind: to raid the till. However, when the hunt for cash proved unsuccessful, the culprit took out his — or her — anger and smashed the walls of a washroom for the handicapped, which is next to the office, and caused substantial damage to the door frame. “They made a terrible mess,” said Donna Watson, who chairs the poppy fund. The damage totaled $5,000, a burden for the cash-strapped Legion. The culprit used a stool that had been made especially for a diminutive member of the Legion, to help her reach things. Thankfully, nothing was stolen, said Barb Prystupa, second vice-president of the Legion. Seeing the damage was a shock for Legion members who came in the next day intent on putting the finishing touches for a New Year’s Eve dinner and dance that night. A handful of members worked throughout the day to clean up the debris, and in January the Langley Rotary Club offered to give the Legion $2,500 towards repairing the damage. “It came out of the blue,” Prystupa said. “We can’t thank them enough. It was a very nice gesture,” she said, adding that the Legion can always do with volunteer help — and it doesn’t need to be financial. “I think it’s pretty awesome that they came forward right away to help us out. It’s very much appreciated,” Watson said. One of the ways the Legion recovers costs is through the proceeds of its regular Sunday pancake breakfasts. It costs $5 per person, and people don’t have to be Legion members to enjoy Sunday breakfast from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Now that the land exchange involving the Routley school site has been agreed to by both Township council and the Board of Education, work will proceed quickly on establishing a middle school in Willoughby. A press release from the board states that “the Langley School District is eager to begin moving forward with plans to construct a new middle school to serve the growing Willoughby area.” Funding for the construction of the middle school was allocated last October, when Premier Christy Clark announced funds for two new schools to serve the Willoughby area, a middle school and an elementary school.The latter includes site acquisition funding. The school district wants to see both built in the next couple of years, in order to manage enrolment growth on the Willoughby slope and minimize additional operational costs that will be incurred if construction delays take place.

Company purchased in 2007

Its goal is to have the new elementary school open for September, 2013, and the middle school for September, 2014. Recent communication from ministry staff has also reinforced its desire that the district proceed in an expeditious manner. As the province’s funding announcement for the middle school did not include funds for site acquisition, the school district must utilize land which it already owns. It owns one five-acre parcel of land in the Jericho area, at 206 Street and 68 Avenue, and will acquire a second parcel in the Yorkson area near 208 Street and 84 Avenue, as a result of the Routley land exchange agreement. Though the Jericho site was the location pinpointed for the middle school in the district’s five-year capital plan, building at this site would present several challenges, the press release states. These include the fact that there is no municipal service

infrastructure on the site, and the district would be responsible for incurring the significant costs required to put it in place. Staff estimate that the engineering, planning and construction of the required infrastructure would add at least eight or nine months to the construction timetable for the school. In addition, Langley Township has no current plans to develop the area surrounding the site.The school would take up most of the site, leaving only a small portion for playfields. The Yorkson site on 84 Avenue already has municipal infrastructure in place, will be located next to the Township’s planned 70 to 75 acre Yorkson Community Park and would allow for a faster construction period. Using that site, it would be possible to have a middle school operating by September, 2014. This spring, the district will be holding community consultations on the long-term facilities plan for the Willoughby area.

It was purchased by Atis in 2007 and moved into its current facility in 2008. According to an online corporate profile that does not report exact financials, only a range of profits, Allied’s annual sales were somewhere between $10 and $25 million, with export sales somewhere between $1 and $5 million.

situation,” Guy said. “Our role as the school district is to take all of the information we know, gather all of the data, listen to our parents and make the best educational decision we can for our children. And the children and the educational soundness of the plan have to be at the forefront of our thinking. “One of the things that is important for you to understand is that the plan is a fluid plan and is evolved and it continues to evolve, and it is evolving because of the input we’ve have from the parent community. It is really important that we listen and that we hear your concerns, and of course to plan better we want to do that for you.” R.C. Garnett principal Ute Goetzke says she is pleased to see a great turnout at the meeting. “I think it shows the remarkable care, intellect and sense of community that people have and commitment to making something really work for their children. In the immediate this is what they know, and they trust it, and I think that was really obvious by the turnout of parents and of children.” In the coming weeks, the school district will continue to process through response sheets from parents, the Parent Advisory Council, senior management and school trustees to create a final plan by the end of February. A meeting for all Willoughby slope schools will be held in the spring, as well as additional meetings for R.C. Garnett families. No representatives from the Township of Langley were present at the meeting on Feb. 8.

He was killed instantly. The tragedy occurred near Glover Road and Mavis Avenue in the village. Along with the police, Canadian National Railway and the B.C. Coroners Office are investigating the death. The victim’s name has not been released.

WE SAY

THEY SAY

Dialogue is vital

A privileged class

he school district’s suggestion that a Willoughby Middle School should be built on the 84 Avenue property it obtains from a controversial land swap needs considerably more study. While the size of the site, servicing issues and proximity to a park make it a good location, the fact remains that it is far removed from many Willoughy homes. It is actually on the edge of Walnut Grove — only separated from that area by the freeway. It is understandable that the district wants to build the middle school as soon as possible. The needs are obvious. But why isn’t the Township assisting the school district in obtaining more school sites? Much of Willoughby has yet to be developed,and there are plenty of possible sites available. It is also curious that the province would give the district funds to build a school when no site has been clearly identified. The usual practice in capital programs has been to identify and buy a school site, and then ask for funds to build a school in it — not the other way around. Parents in the area of R.C. Garnett Elementary are quite rightly questioning a middle school that is so far from their homes. Most of them live south of 72 Avenue and west of 202 Street, which is a considerable distance from the 84 Avenue location. The school has yet to get funds for any additions, despite the fact that it is badly overcrowded and is home to many portable classrooms. Parents and students feel ignored by the school district, and other parents from the Routley area who have seen their school site traded away feel ther same way. The school district must drastically improve its communication with all parents in the Willoughby area — those in Routley, Garnett, central Willoughby and Yorkson. The district must also do a far better job of communicating with parents of young children who are not yet in the school system. Willoughby’s school needs are nowhere close to being properly addressed, yet development in the area continues at the same breathless pace. Six-storey apartments along 208 Street are under construction, and the new Carvolth plan calls for buildings as high as 18 storeys along 200 Street. Where are all the children from all these developments going to go to school? It remains an unanswered question.

ith almost half of working Canadians facing retirement without an organized pension plan, or a self-managed retirement savings plan of any significance, Canada is facing a two-tiered situation for retirees — those who have, and those who have not. This is becoming more obvious as more and more members of the baby boom generation move into retirement age. Slightly more than half of all Canadians who are members of a registered administered pension plan work in the public sector. Most of these — 85 per cent — have what is called defined benefit plans, which provide guaranteed monthly payments for the life of the retiree. Among the rest of those working Canadians in the private sector who have membership in a registered retirement plan, only about 25 per cent are in defined benefit plans. The rest are in what are called defined contribution plans, which set how much contribution they must make, but their benefits will vary all over the map depending on how successfully the plan administrators work their investments. After the recent world financial meltdown, you can appreciate how difficult that has been. So, when Prime Minister Stephen Harper says he is looking at changes to the Old Age Security portion of Canada’s retirement safety net — possibly advancing the age of eligibility to 67 — you have to appreciate he is just nibbling around the edges of the problem. He is trying to minimize the cost of the plan for future taxpayers, but he wouldn’t be doing anything to fix the problem of half the working population not being financially prepared for retirement. We have created a privileged class, and it’s mostly those in the public sector. The rest of the population can be forgiven if they grumble about having to continue paying taxes to support a privileged minority. — Cowichan News Leader

Wildlife kill continues in Willoughby Editor: Here is the latest occurrence that is just sickening. The latest victim of road kill is a raccoon I noticed on the southbound lane of 208 Street at 82 Avenue. This was at 8:15 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 10. When I returned less than half an hour later with my camera, someone had removed the victim and I couldn’t locate it at first. I circled around the block again going the opposite direction, and saw two raccoons side up side on the shoulder near the fire hydrant at the southwest corner of 208 Street and 82 Avenue. This scene is just appalling. It implies that road kill has occurred before and noone has had the courtesy of informing the Township. They are just piling the victims together, or the two raccoons were killed at the same time. Anyway you look at the situation, it is unacceptable. To the north of 82 Avenue on 208 Street, we have the massive Yorkson Creek condo project. To the south of 82 Avenue on 208 Street is a one block long mixed field habitat. Opposite this habitat on 208 Street is another mixed field habitat marked for development by Phoenix. Developers are blatantly ignoring wildlife existing on undeveloped land slated for development, and are just pushing existing wildlife out onto 208 Street.

Patricia TALLMAN/Special to The Times

Two raccoons were killed on 208 Street near 82 Avenue, likely on Friday morning. Patricia Tallman is calling for more wildlife protection in areas which are under development. The Township must do more and residents should be upset by this.

In my Road Kill Report to Township council, I recommended that if wildlife is

known to exist, there must be relief habitat for them to escape to, or an SPCA-approved contractor should trap and relocate these animals. In addition, I also developed an excavation protocol, which would provide maximum chances of survival for existing wildlife through a set of best practices to be implemented by developers during excavation. In particular, they should develop in a direction from the most busy street inwards to the least busy street. Moreover, the Township does not have an Environmental Assessment (EA) requirement. The District of North Vancouver and City of Abbotsford both require EAs for projects on or near undeveloped land. The City of Surrey requires the completion of the Surrey Sustainable Development Checklist for all applications, as well as possibly requiring an environment impact study for developments within the Environmentally Sensitive Areas, as identified in their Ecosystem Management Study. When will the Township act on preventing unnecessary road kill, particularly on 208 Street? They should be doing public and site crew awareness, as well as putting up wildlife crossing signs and improved lighting on 208 Street. Patricia Tallman Langley

Teachers work hard and deserve a pay raise Editor: After reading the article in the Jan. 26 Times about the teachers’ demonstration at the malls, I felt compelled to respond. I’m “just a mom.” I have two boys attending a small elementary school in Walnut Grove. They are in Grades 1 and 3. Because I don’t formally work at a full-time job, I am fortunate to be able to spend a lot of time at the school — mostly in the Grade 3 class. I have the opportunity to see firsthand what takes place on a daily basis in both the childrens’ educational lives as well as the teachers’ daily routines. I have been in awe since the start of the school year at the workload and schedules the teacher has to maintain. I volunteer my time in the class to do a small part in helping with any “extras” the teacher or class needs. Without knowing too much about the political side of the current strike, I am completely aware of what the teachers do on a day-to-day basis. In our Grade 3 class, there are 18 children, a number of whom have some form of obvious educational special needs. All of the classes in the school share a SEA (special education assistant) and the Grade 3 class receives a very minimal amount of time from the SEA. I don’t know how they do it every day — all the planThe

ning and preparation that must take place even before the school day begins. They are teaching the kids and trying to keep each child, regardless of any special needs, engaged in the lesson. This is followed by marking of tests and assignments, and then once again planning and preparing for the next day. These teachers have dedicated their lives to our children — children who will one day become athletes, architects, landscapers, politicians and maybe even teachers. To give you an example of the level of dedication, our Grade 3 teacher has been coming to school with a concussion after a serious car accident. She was forced to stay home for two and one-half days because of severe dizziness. When she asked for a replacement teacher for those days, we were given four different substitutes for that short length of time. The kids had no consistency, and as parents we all know that routine is an integral part of any child’s life — especially the kids with special needs. Her level of dedication was obvious. The kids needed her and they needed consistency. Any parent will tell you that we all only want the best for our children. A great education should be at the top of every-

one’s list. Teachers need to be treated fairly. Are any members of the B.C. Public Sector Employers Association not parents? Should “the best” not start with education? Studies have shown that people in the workplace who feel they are appreciated and being treated fairly and with respect for a “job well done” will excel more and be more productive employees. Paying our teachers would logically make more sense then a shiny new bike. The education of our children is the foundation of the future of our country. We, as parents, need to be a voice for our children. They deserve the best education possible by teachers who are respected and feel they are being treated fairly In my opinion, a 15 per cent pay increase over three years (which by the way, includes their benefit package) seems like a lot, but we all know how negotiations work. Ask for a lot, and receive much less. Athletes make millions of dollars and yet the people responsible for our kids and their future every day are still on strike. Having made that comparison, 15 per cent really does not seem like that much. I would be curious about the earnings of politicians and members of the BCPSEA, and how much daily influence and inter-

action they have with our children. How are they able to make informed decisions without truly knowing the consequences of their decisions? I have heard parents going on about the teachers having it “so good.” They enjoy a two-week March break, Christmas vacation and of course the whole summer off — without pay, I may add. My husband is not a teacher and he does not have a glamorous job. He works very hard at a factory. He has Christmas off due to plant shutdown, without pay, and he is also entitled to a six-week vacation during the summer. For those overly vocal parents who think teachers have it so good, I ask why didn’t any of you become teachers if there are so many “perks?” The answer is probably because it’s a very difficult job. For that, our teachers need fair compensation for all they do. In conclusion, can we all somehow end this strike? Pay the teachers what they deserve, reinstate their contract and let’s get some normalcy back into our children’s lives. Enough is enough. Do we as parents need to start burning poles, like in Trafalgar Square, in order to be heard? Elizabeth Woznica, Langley

Tourism Langley was formed in 2008 as a tool to draw visitors by promoting the community’s assets and attractions. One of its sources for funding is a two per cent room tax that is paid by guests of hotels, motels and B and Bs. In order for the hotel tax to be implemented, a minimum of 51 per cent of hotels representing 51 per cent of available rooms in the Township must support it. John Aldag, who chairs the Langley Tourism Association board of directors, said that Langley hoteliers’ support for the extra tax has grown since it was imposed a few years ago. In fact, of the 11 properties where rooms are available, only two owners

oppose it. One is Wally Martin who with his wife, Sharon, owns and operates the Princess and the Pea B and B in Murrayville. Martin said that he has not had a single referral from the association. The two per cent tax is added to the room tax, and the 12 per cent HST is added to that total. Aldag said that 82 per cent of Township properties representing 94 per cent of rooms approved the tax which is remitted to the provincial government, which in turn hands it over to the Langley Tourism Association. Support came from Best Western Plus and Super 8 Motel in Aldergrove, the Holiday Inn Express, two Sandman Hotels and Travelodge in Walnut Grove, and the Quality Inn in Willoughby.

There was support too, from Trinity Western University which makes its 800 rooms available during the summer months only. “Tourism Langley is critically important to the success and long-term renewal of Fort Langley,” Eric Woodward, chairman of the Fort Langley Business Improvement Association, told council on Feb. 6. The association is a great resource for members to draw on, Woodward added. Representatives from the Greater Vancouver Zoo, Krause Berry Farm and the National Historic Site in Fort Langley also appeared before council to reinforce Woodward’s position. With only Councillor David Davis opposed, council approved extending the tax for another five years.

Probation after fatal crash The driver who caused a fatal crash at 28 Avenue and 200 Street on July 31, 2009 has received a fine and probation. Nathan James Friesen, 22, had finished a graveyard shift at a warehouse and was driving home from work. At about 8:30 a.m., he ran through the stop sign at 28 Avenue. His Chevrolet Cavalier struck a truck driven by 29-year-old Gordon Thomas Lothian, which flipped onto its side and spun into the northbound lane of 200 Street. Lothian had recently started in business as a Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mowing franchisee, and was on his way to a job. Another woman driving a Toyota Tacoma, travelling north on 200 Street, was unable to stop in time and collided with the roof of Lothianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truck. She, her husband and

their two children were on their way to a funeral. Lothian was pronounced dead at the scene, and members of the family in the third vehicle were injured and taken to hospital. Friesen has received a $1,500 fine and two years of probation. He must also perform 100 hours of community service and cannot drive for two years. A joint submission to Surrey Provincial Court Judge Michael Hicks noted that Friesen has suffered from posttraumatic stress disorder as a result of the crash and has shown â&#x20AC;&#x153;extreme remorseâ&#x20AC;? over his actions. Members of Lothianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family provided victim impact statements to the court, telling the judge how the loss has affected them. The family are longtime Langley residents. Gordon Lothian was a Brookswood Secondary graduate.

Coaches key to success under the tutelage of some of Karate BC’s best coaches.” Another successful mentorship program developed by the BC Games Society, Coaches BC and Promotion Plus, supports the education of female coaches. For Laura Watson, technical director with Coaches BC and a ringette coach, this has been a terrific opportunity for both her and her apprentice coach. “As I started out in coaching I wished that I had had an opportunity to study from a seasoned coach. It would have provided me with the opportunity to see how an effective coach really operates,” she says.“The BC Games experience that we have for our apprentice coach is absolutely the

best experience that we could ever offer someone.” The dedication and commitment of coaches around the province strengthens the overall sport system and contributes to communities and social development. For many, coaching is a way of life. The BC Games is an important step in the life of a coach, just as it is for the life of an athlete. These Games are a major springboard for coaches looking to move on up to the Canada Games and what they learn in this multi-sport environment will prepare them for future opportunities. At this month’s BC Winter Games, which run Feb. 23-26 in Greater Vernon, 122 head coaches and 110 assistant coaches will lead 1,148 athletes.

Coaches can sometimes be the unsung heroes of athletic success.The images we see in the media are of gold-medal-winning athletes standing on podiums with their coach nowhere to be seen. But almost without fail, athletes will credit their coach for their success ahead of anyone else. Coaches lead and inspire athletes from community programs to the Olympic and Paralympic podiums.At the BC Games, coach education and training is a priority with all coaches at the Games requiring certification from the National Coaching Certification Program. Coaches BC is the provincial organization responsible for coaching education programs and the ongoing support and development of coaches. “A coach’s preparation for the BC Games, or any other competitive environment, is just as important as an athlete’s preparation,” says Coaches BC executive director Gord May. “Every successful athlete has been trained by someone who has taken the time to learn about the technical aspects of their sport and how to prepare their athletes both mentally and physically. Excellence will come about when you have the right tools and use them the right way.” The provincial sport organizations involved in the BC Winter and BC Summer Games have demonstrated that they are committed to coach development throughout the province. Many sports utilize the BC Games as a unique opportunity for coach mentorship and training. Karate BC developed a junior coach mentorship program as part of the BC Winter Games where youth coaches have the opportunity to work with a certified adult coach. Six coaches ranging in age from 15 to 18 years old will be part of the program at the 2012 BC Winter Games. “The BC Games is an ideal way of furthering (development of) our young athletes into future coaches,” says Fernando Correia, the Duncan-based Provincial Advisor for Karate BC. “I am excited about our new program and I know that our junior coaches are looking forward to attending the BC Winter Games and having the opportunity to develop new skills

Budget open houses planned NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inevitable that residents in Langley Township will pay higher property taxes this year, but they have an opportunity to influence the bottom line at two budget open houses. These will be held on Monday, Feb. 27 from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., and on Tuesday, Feb. 28 from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Both open houses will be held on the fourth floor of the Township Hall, in the foyer outside the council chambers. The proposed increase to a household property which has an assessed value of $483,000 is $39, an increase

of 1.70 per cent over last year. If council approves another 0.50 per cent for a capital works reserve, the increase will climb to $46. Council is also considering an additional 0.50 per cent increase to boost police and fire services, and an extra 0.5 per cent for road paving. The budget is contained in the five-year financial plan which had originally contemplated a property tax increase of 3.95 per cent. If all segments are approved, taxes will rise by 3.20 per cent. By comparison, the owner of a single family dwelling in Langley City will face a tax increase of 2.77 per cent.

City taxes go up in budget Capital projects account for $11 million GARY AHUJA Times Reporter

While not as high as the previous year, Langley City residents face another tax increase in 2012. The increase is necessary in order to offset a net expenditure increase of nearly $390,000. At the City council meeting last week (Feb. 6), the City presented its 2012 budget, which received first and second reading from council. If the budget passes as is, the average home owner will pay an additional $70 for a detached home, a 2.77 per cent tax increase, and $15 extra for an average strata dwelling (condo or townhouse), which amounts to a 1.2 per cent increase. By comparison, business property owners are facing a 3.75 per cent increase and light industrial property faces a hike of 3.96 per cent. Some of the cost increases are out of the City’s hands, since they are the result of higher rates from Metro Vancouver. The budget anticipates revenues at slightly below $39 million, with property taxes anticipated at just over $21 million. The main cost drivers in

the City budget are employee wages and benefits, while policing remains the largest department in the budget, finance director Darren Leite explained. The City’s capital projects for 2012 equal slightly more than $11 million, with the biggest expenditures consisting of engineering operations ($4.6 million), parks and recreation projects ($2.8 million) and utilities ($2.7 million) for sewer and water projects. The largest engineering project is $2.8 million for the series of overpasses at 192 Street, 54 Avenue and 196 Street, which are part of the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor program. As for the parks and recreation project, $2.3 million is needed to construct 77 underground parking stalls for the new Timms Community Centre. In regards to the expenditure for utilities, $908,000 of that budgeted money is earmarked for the Maple Ridge Barnston Island pump station, which provides City residents with their water. Leite also told council that the City anticipates receiving $5.75 million from the Cascades Casino in 2012, down by about $250,000 from the previous year. This reflects the continuing trend, as online gaming is cutting into money being spent at casinos, Leite explained.

Council also heard that there is an expected surplus of $560,000, or in that range, from the 2011 budget. The surplus resulted from an increase in the budgeted amount expected from building permit revenues, as well as various staff vacancies which went unfilled. Leite said a full report to council will be presented this spring, following an audit. During question period, Councillor Dave Hall said he would not be supporting the financial plan as it stands. He wondered why, if there was a surplus, that money could not be used to counterbalance any proposed tax increase. “We should as a City, try to counterbalance that by trying our very best not raise our own City rates,” he said. “And we have every opportunity to do that by taking some of that surplus and delivering it to the operating side.” Councillors Ted Schaffer, Gayle Martin and Teri James all commended the budget. “Staff went above and beyond the call of duty and came up with an absolutely phenomenal budget that I am extremely proud to stand behind,” James said. An open house for the public to discuss the financial plan was held last week. City council will hold a committee of the whole meeting to discuss the budget at the next council meeting on Monday (Feb. 20) at 7 p.m.

Kaylee Harwood as Guenevere (centre) with Monique Lund (left) and Mary Antonini in Camelot. Harwood will be performing in Jesus Christ Superstar on Broadway in March.

From Stratford to Broadway Langley actress Kaylee Harwood is taking her talent all the way to Broadway BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

he’s played all the great leading ladies, from My Fair Lady’s Eliza Doolittle, to Cosette in Les Miserables, Elizabeth Bennet, the heroine of Pride and Prejudice, and, of course, Gertrude McFuzz in Carousel Theatre’s production of Seussical. Now, after spending the summer of 2011 performing as Guenevere — the Arthurian queen torn between two lovers — in the Stratford Shakespeare Festival’s acclaimed production of Camelot, and singing in the chorus of Jesus Christ Superstar, Kaylee Harwood’s acting career is about to take another giant and rather unexpected leap forward — this one, onto the boards of the Great White Way. The Ontario theatre company’s production of Jesus Christ Superstar is headed for Broadway in an opened-ended run scheduled to begin next month, and the Langley actress and singer will be centre stage when it happens.

Before leaving for Stratford last year, Harwood said the opportunity to perform at the famous Shakespeare Festival was a goal she had set for herself early in her career. Looking back, 10 months later, the actress acknowleded the experience was everything that she could have hoped. Even after having performed on stages around the Greater Vancouver area and Edmonton’s Citadel Theatre, Stratford was a revelation, the 25-year-old admitted. Entering the thrust stage through the vomitory (yes, really) — a tunnel that begins beneath the audience and rises to stage level — Harwood would begin each performance of Camelot with her back to the audience of 1,800. “To turn and see this sea of people always took my breath away. It never ceased to make my heart stop,” she said. But with that “extraordinary” experience now under her belt, she is once again looking ahead toward her next adventure. After closing at Stratford, Jesus Christ Superstar enjoyed a five-week run at the La Jolla Playhouse near San Diego over Christmas and the New Year. Throughout the fall of 2011, speculation went into overdrive about what might come next for the show, she said. “There were so many rumours going around, we might as well have been going to Mars,” Harwood laughed.

Finally, in October, the official word came: Jesus Christ Superstar was moving to Broadway — the 1,450 seat Neil Simon Theater to be exact. Asked how the opportunity to perform on Broadway arose, Harwood laughed and replied: “I wish I knew.” Perhaps it was no coincidence that Andrew Lloyd Webber, who composed the music for the famous rock opera, and Tim Rice, who penned the lyrics, attended a performance of Jesus Christ Superstar at Stratford last summer, though the cast was unaware of their presence during the performance. “We only learned about it after the curtain call,” she said. However it came about, the move to Broadway is “kind of unprecedented,” said Harwood. “It’s a feat for an almost entirely Canadian cast that originally performed (a show) in Canada.” Des McAnuff — the man behind The Who’s Tommy and Jersey Boys — directed the Stratford production and his connections in the business were no doubt key, but Harwood is prepared to give much of the credit to the “incredible calibre” of the production itself. Using words like “grey and stark, electric and pulsing,” Harwood contrasted Jesus Christ Superstar to the production of Camelot, which she described as “very human, very compelling. Warm and delightful, full of

light and laughter.” Sarah — Harwood’s character, though her name is never mentioned — is a much smaller role than Guenevere, and though the performer works and dances her butt off, the fact she doesn’t have to carry the show will allow for a bit more balance in her life. She’ll use that time to take in all that the city that never sleeps has to offer. Harwood, who describes herself as an accomplished second hand shopper, has been working out a budget of her fixed expenses — rent, utilities and transportation. She’s also included a bit of extra so that she can really appreciate her time in New York and perhaps take in a few productions herself. “In Vancouver, there’s an industry rate on most shows,” she said. “I’m not sure if Broadway has that, but it would be a nice perk of the job,” she smiled. After finding a six month sublet for an apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, she will have a little more than a month to settle in and rehearse before the show opens on March 22 and runs until whenever. Beyond that, well, she hasn’t given it a lot of thought. “I haven’t set any new long term goals,” Harwood said. “There are places I’d like to travel and shows I’d like to be involved in, but I’ve been so lucky. “I like following the current.”

Exploring Métis culture The Langley Centennial Museum is presenting a unique series of workshops that aim to bring families together in an exploration of Métis culture. The sessions are intended for a parent and child, or a grandparent and grandchild, to work together and explore the culture of one of Canada’s Aboriginal peoples. Enjoy listening to stories and learning hands-on traditional arts and culture. The workshops will be hosted by Métis artisan Lisa Shepherd, and are open to all Metis and non-Metis people with a desire to learn and share. The Story of the Capote — Saturday, Feb. 18. When the Hudson Bay Company brought point blankets to Canada for trading, the Métis cut them apart and stitched them back together to make a uniquely stylized coat, called a Capote. This workshop will explore the history and

making of a Capote and the Métis sash that held it closed. Participants will get to see (and maybe even try on) a real Capote, listen to the story Fiddle Dancer by Anne Patton and Wilfred Burton and learn to make a blanket stitched CD pocket. Métis Jigging for Big and Small — Saturday, March 24. Get your jig on. In this workshop, participants will listen to the story Jenneli’s Dance by Elizabeth Denny and then learn basic jig steps to the Red River Jig, a dance once popular at Canadian kitchen parties. No dance experience is necessary. The steps are geared towards children and those over 40 years of age. If you can walk, you can jig. This workshop will teach some oral history around Métis cultural dance, a few new dance steps, and lots of giggles and jiggles. Storytime and Bannock — Saturday, April 14. Get ready to roll up your

sleeves and bake your own mini-loaf of Bannock with Lisa Shepherd’s family recipe. As the bannock bakes, sip a warm cup of nettle or muskeg tea and gather in a circle to hear the story Relatives with Roots, by Leah Marie Dorion. Cultural items, including a sash, spoons and drum will be explored. Please bring an apron, or wear clothing that you don’t mind flouring. Traditional Métis Beading — Saturday, April 21. In this class, Lisa Shepherd will share the story The Flower Beadwork People by Sherry Farrell Racette. Participants will learn about a baby’s mossbag and will even get to hold one to see the beadwork up close. Explore some real Métis beadworks before working on your own colouring and beading art project. Contact the Langley Centennial Museum for more, 604-532-3536 or information@ langleymuseum.org.

“I will be competing in the cutting and English riding events,” says Haley, who has been riding both English and western styles all her life, and currently enjoys showing cutters and hunter-jumpers. She has won many awards in both the hunter-jumper events and in the cutting ring, most recently the BCQHA 2011 Junior Youth Champion. Born in Chilliwack, Haley and her parents Mike and Diane, and their three older boys, came to their farm in Aldergrove 11 years ago. Their riding facilities, including an indoor arena, often host shows for the B.C. Ranch Cutting Horse Association.

Haley started getting serious about the sport when she was seven, training in hunterjumpers with renowned champion Laura Balisky. Haley hopes to make a career as a rider, and also intends to study veterinary medicine when she graduates from D.W. Poppy Secondary. Haley has other interests — she enjoys dance, volleyball and basketball at school — and she volunteers on a regular basis in a variety of capacities. It’s all part of a well-rounded approach to life, says her mother, Diane: “Haley is the one that is always there to lend a helping hand, to go the extra mile to help others out.”

A young girl who has been passionate about riding horses since she was two years old has been selected to saddle up and compete in the Youth World Cup this summer in Germany. Haley Stradling, 15, was handpicked by the Canadian Quarter Horse Association, along with four other riders, to represent Canada at this prestigious event. Kreuth, Germany, will host the 2012 event from July 21 to 29, and there will be teams from 16 countries vying for the top honours In addition to the five

riders, two alternates, three team leaders and a coach and manager will represent Canada at the biennial event. Families, including Haley’s parents, will also be accommodated at the site. Horses will be provided to all riders in order to keep costs of shipping and quarantines down for the competitors. “It’s a big facility and they will be supplying 130-140 horses for us,” said Haley. It’s Haley’s first trip abroad and she’s thrilled that two close friends from Kamloops, sisters Amanda and Megan Daley, were also selected. The rest of the team is from eastern and central Canada.

Langley FC pitches new field idea to City mentioned as potential locations by Mostat, Langley FC’s vicepresident of soccer operations. Stafford would not be a viable option since it is owned by the Langley Board of Education, he was told. Langley FC has close to 1,400 registered players — from as young as five all the way to adult for both male and females — in both recreational and competitive teams. They are currently about 90 teams. “We anticipate that by 2013 Langley FC could potentially have almost 2,000 players on almost 200 teams,” he told council. With soccer season, which runs September to April, the

Soccer club proposes artificial turf field in Langley City GARY AHUJA Times Sports

A local soccer organization pitched a new pitch to Langley City council. Regan Mostat appeared on behalf of Langley FC at last week’s (Feb.6) meeting where he proposed the soccer club would partner with the City to construct a new artificial turf field. City Park, H.D. Stafford School or Buckley Park, were

sport is up against field lacrosse and football, as well as the Langley United Youth Soccer Association for field allocation time. In addition to meet the growing demands of soccer, the other problem is the result of field closures because of poor weather. “Any frost closes grass fields, it is a tough, tough thing,” he said. “Grass fields can close, but not turf fields.” And once games are cancelled, they need to be rescheduled, adding to the problem. Turf fields also require less maintenance — cutting grass, lining fields, fertilizer and repairs — resulting in savings in labour and materials over time.

coming from higher levels of governments for these sorts of projects. Councillor Jack Arnold stated that an artificial turf field within City boundaries could also benefit the sports teams at Stafford. Councillor Rosemary Wallace was curious as to how many City residents played for the various Langley FC teams. While Mostat did not have those numbers at the meeting, he did track them down later, and said that 450 — nearly a third — are from within the City. Councillor Dave Hall also suggested the possibility of building the field at Penzer Park. The matter was referred to staff to take a look at.

Other sports groups could also use the field, as well as attracting sporting events from outside the community, thus serving as a revenue source. Mostat estimates the project’s total cost would be range between $1.2-$1.8 million, depending on parking, lighting, seating and other field attributes. Langley FC has capital funding set aside for the project, which they would obviously contribute. Mostat also asked if perhaps higher levels of government might be able to pitch in with the funding. But Mayor Peter Fassbender called it “an uphill battle” as there is not a lot of money

Trinity Western’s Tiffany Olsen lets go an off-balance shot against the defence of Fraser Valley’s Kayli Sartori during Canada West women’s basketball action at the Langley Events Centre. The Cascades won 74-65.

A losing streak to end the regular season proved costly for Trinity Western’s playoff hopes. Up by two points midway through the fourth quarter, the Spartans women’s basketball team surrendered the game’s final 11 points and fell 74-65 to the visiting Fraser Valley Cascades on Feb. 9 at the Langley Events Centre. The Spartans finished the Canada West season on a three-game losing streak and their 8-10 record was one game short of qualifying for the post-season.. “I think in terms of effort, we fought really hard,” said coach Cheryl Jean-Paul. “I just wanted to make sure our team showed the character they had been showing all season long and they did that today. “At the end, (Fraser Valley) hit some big threes and had some momentum scores that we just didn’t have enough time to respond to.” Holly Strom led the way with 20 points and five rebounds, including a fourthquarter run in which she scored a dozen straight for the Spartans. Sarah Cleveland had 15 points and three rebounds and Laurelle Weigl scored 13 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Trinity Western led by as many as a dozen points in the second quarter but could not put the Cascades (126) away. “There were a few turning points,” JeanPaul said. “In the first half, when we had a doubledigit lead, we kind of went into panic mode and allowed them to get back in the game. “Then in the second half ... I think there were a few sequences that could have gone either way and didn’t go our way and suddenly we’re down.”

Health Matters Thinking of giving some Valentine sweets to your sweetie? Make it a healthier version to reduce the guilt! Dark chocolate and milk chocolate both have their share of sugar and fat, but dark chocolate has the beneďŹ ts of ďŹ&#x201A;avenoids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; antioxidants that help to protect your body from the damaging free radicals produced by using oxygen. The darker the chocolate, the better. And, it tends to be more satisfying so a little goes a long way. Dark chocolate is not the only romantic source of ďŹ&#x201A;avenoids. Red wine is also earning a reputation for being a source of these healthy antioxidants which can help protect from cancer and tumour growth. Red wine also has resveratrol, which may have life-prolonging properties and can boost HDL (the â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodâ&#x20AC;? cholesterol), thus protecting the heart. The art is in the balance as over-consumption of alcohol is not without health drawbacks. Another way to make your heart healthy and happyâ&#x20AC;Ś walnuts. Packed with polyphenols, another form of antioxidant, walnuts are thought to lower cholesterol and vascular inďŹ&#x201A;ammation while improving circulation. Other nuts sharing these beneďŹ ts, in order of content, are brazil nuts, pistachios, pecans, peanuts, almonds, macadamia nuts, cashews and hazelnuts. So, next time you feel like a nut, indulge. Your heart will thank you for it. The Ostrich Phenomenon. That tendency of men to ignore health symptoms and avoid seeing a doctor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; often until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late. Friends Provident, a UK life insurance company, studied this phenomenon and found that 44% of men did not check for cancerous lumps or moles and 34% did not know how to check for testicular cancer. Only 25% even knew the signs of prostate cancer. Lucky the man with a caring lady in his life to encourage him to look after his health.

OT win for Eagles Playing a pair of likely playoff teams, the Langley Rivermen kept things close, but were ultimately only able to secure one out of a possible four points. The junior A hockey club could not hold onto a third-period lead, losing 3-2 on Thursday as the visiting Cowichan Valley Capitals scored twice in the final 11 minutes. And then on Saturday, at the South Surrey Arena, Langley forced overtime with a Mike Tebbutt power play goal with under five minutes remaining but lost 3-2 in double overtime to the Surrey Eagles. Jackson Playfair had the other Langley goal. Jim Kruger played a huge part in earning the team a point, stopping 39 of 42 shots. Against the Capitals, Peter McMullen and Darnell Dyck scored for the Rivermen. Langley hosts Cowichan Valley at the LEC on Friday (Feb. 17). â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ With a chance to create some separation

in their race for the top spot in the division, the Aldergrove Kodiaks failed to do so, instead losing to both the first place and the last place teams in the Pacific International Junior Hockey League. It began with a 3-2 home loss to the Mission Icebreakers, a team which picked up just its sixth win in 39 games, on Wednesday night at the Aldergrove Arena. And it was followed by a 6-2 loss to the Richmond Sockeyes, who have just six losses in 39 games. The end result is a slim two-point lead atop the Harold Brittain Conference with just six junior B hockey games remaining in the regular season. Aldergrove hosts the Ridge Meadows Flames on Wednesday (Feb. 15).
