Roadside rally a protest against Kinder Morgan OPPONENTS LINE ROUTE NEAR SITE OF LOCAL TEST DRILLING M ONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
About 80 people took part in a roadside rally last week against the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion on Glover Road near the intersection with Rawlison Crescent in Fort Langley. They carried signs that bore messages like “no Kinder Morgan surprises,” “clean energy now” and “save the salmon.” The protest was near a test drilling site on Rawlison, where Kinder Morgan was doing geotechnical testing the week before. One resident, who asked not to be named, told The Times that several large vehicles blocked off access to a community mailbox for five days. Kwantlen First Nation member Brandon Gabriel, a co-organizer of the protest, said there are unresolved land claims and environmental concerns that need to be addressed. He said the area where the testing was conducted is a “sensitive forest and watershed habitat.” Trans Mountain confirmed it was doing testing on two pri-
vate properties in Fort Langley, one near the Salmon River and the other on Rawlison Crescent. “We are conducting these studies to continue to develop detailed engineering on our proposed expansion corridor and further seismic assessments,” said Lisa Clement, media relations spokesperson for Trans Mountain expansion project. The drilling, which went 30 metres deep, was done 12 hours a day and completed in a week, she said. Kinder Morgan has its existing pipeline running through parts of North Langley, Fort Langley, Walnut Grove and then west into Port Kells. But it is looking to triple its capacity for oil which would be piped from Alberta through numerous B.C. communities to the Burnaby terminal. Some would be used at the existing Chevron refinery, but the vast majority would be shipped as crude oil via tanker to Asian customers. Continued Page 4

Crosswalk finally in place on 72 Avenue
D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r
A crosswalk with pedestrian-controlled flashing lights has been installed on a risky stretch of road shared by Surrey and Langley Township. The city of Surrey website said the crosswalk was installed at the intersection of 196 Street and 72 Avenue on Jan. 30 as a temporary measure while “full traffic signal and pedestrian indications are constructed” at the site. The intersection improvements will include a left-turn bay. Residents in both communities have been campaigning for safety improvements to 72 Avenue, which has been the scene of several serious accidents. In September, an 83-year-old pedestrian was struck and killed at 72 Avenue and 198B Street, on the Langley side. Before that, there were incidents where a young boy was hit while rollerblading and a 19-year-old woman was struck in a hit-and-run crash and left lying in a ditch. Late last year, Township council unanimously approved a set of traffic lights at the border intersection, approving $125,000 to install signals. That is half the cost of the traffic lights, with Surrey paying the rest. Surrey is also rebuilding the four blocks of 72 Avenue leading up to the Langley border, adding landscaped medians to separate eastbound and westbound traffic, as well as boulevards between the travel lanes and sidewalks, adding bicycle lanes, restricting left turns at some intersections, improving street lighting and other improvements. It should all be completed by August. Improvements to 72 Avenue on the Langley side are under consideration by Township council, which added $1.6 million in road upgrades between 196 and 200 Streets to a list of possible 2015 construction projects. If the improvements make the final cut following a review of all proposed projects, most of 72 Avenue between 196 and 200 Streets would be widened to four lanes, traffic lights would go in at the 198B intersection where the elderly pedestrian was killed last September, and an open ditch at the same location would be filled in.

As part of road improvements and installation of a traffic light at 72 Avenue and 196 Street, a crosswalk has been installed just west of 196 Street. It is the first crosswalk on the busy street between 192 and 200 Streets.
Warawa introduces vehicular homicide private member’s bill
MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r
Langley MP Mark Warawa wants the law to start calling impaired driving causing death “what it truly is: vehicular homicide.” Warawa introduced Kassandra’s Law, a Private Member’s Bill, which if passed would create a new criminal charge called vehicular homicide for impaired driving causing death. The bill, which Warawa introduced in the House of Commons last Monday (Feb. 2), was named after 22-year-old Kassandra Kaulius of Surrey, who was killed by a drunk driver in 2011. The goal is to eventually introduce a law asking for mandatory minimum sentencing for vehicular homicide, said Warawa. But at this time, only naming the crime would change. Families for Justice were
hoping to see impaired driving causing death carry a minimum sentence of five years in jail. Since Kassandra’s tragic death, her mother, Markita, has worked with other grieving families and created the group ‘Families for Justice.’ They have been lobbying for stiffer penalties for drunk drivers. In 2011, Natasha Warren was speeding, ran a red light and smashed her van into Kassandra’s car at 152 Street and 64 Avenue. The crash killed Kassandra. Warren then left her vehicle and hid in the bushes nearby. She admitted to consuming a bottle and a half of wine before getting behind the wheel. She was sentenced to three years in prison, served two and was released recently. “The bill, which was introduced into Parliament, is only the first step. We’ve been fighting for several changes to laws for the last three and a half years, and will contin-
ue to do so,” said Markita on ans have signed petitions callthe Families for Justice Faceing for changes to the Criminal book page. Code.

Opponents ‘not fringe groups’ From Page 1
“I would like to iterate that the people who come out to these events are not fringe groups operating on the margins of society and they are all people who live, work, go to school, teach, and who care about our environment, economy, and are proud to call this place home. I am one of those people,” said Gabriel of the Thursday rally. He also rallied on Burnaby Mountain when Kinder Morgan was doing testing there. He said being an opponent of the Kinder Morgan pipeline doesn’t make him anti-petroleum or anti-Canadian. The Township has taken a neutral position on the pipeline issue and that does not “sit well” with Gabriel. On the Township website, under ‘pipeline input’ the Township said it has concerns with Kinder Morgan’s intentions. “The Township of Langley remains concerned with Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans
Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project,” it states. If approved, the project would see the twinning of the existing pipeline by locating a portion of the new pipeline within the existing corridor as far west as 217A Street. Then a new pipeline corridor would be established for the remainder. In August 2014, Kinder Morgan revised its corridor alignment to run through or around Redwoods Golf Course and through the industrial part of North West Langley toward Port Kells. Most of that route would be along the CN rail line. “The Township remains concerned about various aspects about the project, including: the potential environmental and socio-economic effects; the costs to taxpayers related to the installation and long term operation of the pipeline; the accountability of Kinder Morgan to respond adequately in case of an incident,” the Township website states. Kinder Morgan has held sev-
eral information open houses in Walnut Grove. Langley Township has taken a neutral position as an intervenor with the National Energy Board, which is currently reviewing the entire project. Gabriel, an artist, took part in a 1,300 km canoe journey last summer along the coastline of B.C. to Alaska to bring awareness of the ecology of the area, and the culture of the First Nations who live along the coast. “My journey up the entire coast of B.C. this past summer really opened my eyes to a lot of things. “I was immersed in the worm’s eye view of the rugged beauty of our coastline and saw the importance that all life forms, both big and small, have in the production of a healthy ecosystem,” said Gabriel. “I also saw the heavy duty negative legacies left behind by other big industries such as logging, commercial fishing, and mining.” — with files from Dan Ferguson
Two struck on dark, rainy evening MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter
Dark, rainy conditions contributed to at least two people being hit by vehicles on Wednesday night. A pedestrian was struck in a crosswalk at 203 Street and 53 Avenue just before 8 p.m. The driver was southbound on 203 Street and made a left onto 53, when the pedestrian was struck. The victim was injured and taken to hospital. The pedestrian’s condition isn’t known but there were no broken bones, said police. The driver remained on the scene. This crash was followed by a hit and run. Around 8:30 p.m., a 45-year-old cyclist pulling a trailer was hit while riding northbound on 200 Street. According to witnesses, a white car hit the trailer, knocking the rider off his bike.
Cpl. Holly Marks said the rider wasn’t wearing a helmet, was wearing all dark clothing, and had no reflectors, but did have his headlamp on. The victim complained of back pains and was taken to hospital, she said. If you have any information about this crash and haven’t already spoken to police, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. Warm and wet weather continued through the weekend. Several pedestrians have been hit in recent days, with at least one death reported. There have been many pedestrian deaths in the Lower Mainland over the winter months, with almost all of them occurring in the dark hours. Police caution to wear high visibility clothing, have reflectors and lights, and be very wary of all your surroundings and vehicles around you, as a pedestrian or a cyclist.

Arborist admits errors, says tree-cutting acceptable D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
The company responsible for an arborist’s report that confused the types of trees in a proposed Aldergrove subdivision has admitted the mistakes, but insists the errors aren’t enough to justify saving more than a single tree. Sanderson Planning, a Vancouver company, made a written presentation to the council priorities committee meeting on Monday, Feb. 2 that defended the previous report as a “fair and accurate assessment of the conditions” on property near 28 Avenue and 276 Street. The firm was hired by the Township to help design a 61-lot neighbourhood on the proposed Bertrand Creek Trails Estate development. The 2012 assessment determined there were no trees worth preserving on the property. It called for cutting down the existing 165 trees and replacing them with 303 replacement trees, arranged to fit around the detached houses planned for the property. The report was condemned by opponents of the development, who want the Township-owned site preserved as an urban forest. They argued the decision by council to approve the sale was based on an error-riddled assessment that confused the types of trees. The critics included another arborist, Celeste Paley, who said that among other things the report confused cedar trees with maple trees and alders. Paley said the “discrepancies” and “misidentifi-
cations” were “worrisome.” In December, council put the project on hold to sort out the issue. At the Monday committee meeting, Sanderson filed an updated arborist’s report that aimed to correct the errors of the first. The new report said only “one tree in the stand of trees is thought to be a suitable candidate to be retained” and went to say that “correctly identifying tree species is not typically an issue” when assessing how trees deserve preservation. “This has never before occurred on numerous projects that we have been associated with the Township of Langley over the past 25 years,” the report said. It added the mistakes happened during “the transfer of data from field notes into the final report” and went on to say that “there was no intent to falsify information, there was simply a human error made during the drafting of our report.” However, Paley, the arborist who pointed out the errors in the first report, appeared before the Monday committee meeting to advise that the second report was still not error-free. Paley identified a smaller number of errors, but the fact there were any was termed “problematic” by Councillor Petrina Arnason. At the evening council meeting, Arnason said the delegation from Sanderson Planning at the council priorities committee had “failed to address to council’s satisfaction tree inventory discrepancies” and because of that, she will be ask-

Taxes in Langley City up by three per cent for most BR ENDA ANDER SON Tim es Reporter
City of Langley residents could see their tax bill rise or fall in 2015, depending on the type of structure they call home. On Monday evening, Darrin Leite, the City’s director of corporate services, gave council and the viewing public an overview of the municipality’s draft budget for the year, which includes a nearly three per cent property tax hike. The proposed increase of 2.95 per cent looks to fill a gap of $670,000 between total revenues and planned expenditures, in order to balance the budget. Including utility rate increases, an average multi-family home (assessed at $200,728) would see a decrease of 2.90 per cent or ($37) while an average single family home (assessed at $486,931), an increase of 2.30 per cent or $63. Businesses and light industrial properties would see an increase slightly below or above 3.5 per cent, respectively. The City spends about $233 per year on an average home, providing it with water and sewer, policing and fire service, recreation, waste collection, infrastructure, parks and other services, explained Leite. Along with government salaries and benefits, however, policing remains the City’s largest cost drivers. This year, the City anticipates its portion of the RCMP force it shares with the Township will cost taxpayers about $10.5 million. In 2014, that figure came in at $9.85 million — roughly $732,000 under what was budgeted. The City’s capital improvement plan for the year, meanwhile features almost $8 million in expenditures, including the purchase of a new pumper truck for the fire department at cost of $835,000 and a number of traffic signal upgrades. On the income side, Leite anticipates that the City’s casino revenue will drop again this year, as it has since 2007. He expects the municipality, which gets 10 per cent of the Cascades Casino’s annual net profit, will receive $5.6 million in 2015. Over the past few years, the City has realized an annual budget surplus, which has been in the range of half a million dollars. In 2014, that surplus came in at more than $650,000, much of which was the result of unspent operating funds, including lower than expected snow removal costs, staff vacancies and more building permit revenue than anticipated. Each year, the municipality places surplus funds into a general capital reserve. The problem with that reserve, said Councillor

Dave Hall, is that it can be accessed without accountability when a project goes over budget. “It accommodates overruns that should be absorbed in another manner.” Hall said the City would be better served by putting some of last year’s “record surplus” to immediate use, by applying it to current expenses and reducing the proposed 2015 tax increase. Hall pointed to the $35,000 task force on homelessness, now being convened by the City, as one option. He also suggested that an account be established specifically for future property acquisition, so that when a piece of land the City wants to purchase becomes available the money “is ready, available and targeted and can’t be eroded.” The surplus also gives the City the option of reducing its .75 per cent infrastructure levy which was introduced in 2013, to help replace the City’s aging water and sewer lines, he said. “That’s my position, which they’re not necessarily buying into, is that it’s ludicrous to raise taxes almost three per cent. “They point to the gap (between anticipated revenue and proposed expenditures) but every year the surplus is rising instead of falling,” said Hall. Each council member was given five minutes to speak after the plan was outlined, however only Hall used the full time, saying that a 2.95 per cent rise in taxation is “unacceptable.” Staff were directed to come to a settlement between two per cent and 2.5 per cent. “This is nowhere close to that,” Hall said. “We’re going in the wrong direction.” Hall’s motion to reduce the allocation of casino proceeds to the enterprise fund from $150,000 to $100,000 died after failing to find a seconder, as did a motion to redirect unused casino funds, which had been earmarked for the 2014 Grade 5 swim program, to the 2015 program. Hall advised council he plans to propose a number of amendments to the budget at third reading, which is scheduled to take place on Feb. 16. “It’s been suggested by staff that this may delay the budget by two weeks. But that’s a small price to pay for democracy,” said Hall. The 2015 financial plan passed first and second reading, with only Hall opposed. Beginning at 7 p.m. on Feb. 16, prior to third reading, there will be a committee of the whole, at which members of the public are invited to share their thoughts on the financial plan.

Help is available for young people at risk D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
For $50,000, the Township of Langley could provide young people at risk with one-on-one help. The proposal comes from Access Youth Outreach Services, the non-profit group that sends a “teen bus,� a donated TransLink vehicle, out at night in the Langleys and Tri-Cities areas to provide everything from food and blankets to drug education and crisis intervention for young at-risk people from 12 and 23 years. In the Tri-Cities, the service includes referrals to an after-hours Individual Case Worker (ICW) for one-to-one assessments and support, but not in Langley. It would cost about $50,000 a year to provide a full-time caseworker for Langley, Access executive director Jerome Bouvier told Langley Township council during a presentation late last year. “It’s a really valuable position,� said Bouvier. The Tri-City service has
helped more than 100 young people over two-and-a-half years, a written presentation to council by Access estimated. “They [the outreach workers] engage youth in developing a goal plan that meets their particular needs and accomplish specific goals,� the report stated. “The engagement worker connects and actively supports youth who are at risk, assesses needs, works with the youth to determine a plan, advocates for youth and becomes a link to/and collaborates with other community resources.� It is a seven-day-a-week job, most of it done after hours, Bouvier said. Township council and the other communities served by Access have been “very supportive� with capital grants that pay for things like bus maintenance and other supplies, Bouvier said, but a full-time youth outreach worker would require an operating grant. In 2013, the Access buses served 2,038 young people in Langley City and Township. The written presentation to
council gave examples of the kind of problems the buses encounter in the Langleys, including a 14-year-old female victim of sexual assault who was selling herself to support a crack cocaine habit, an extremely intoxicated 13-year-old in a park who needed her stomach pumped, a gang attack on a youth (which ended when the bus staff intervened), and an “arranged fight� at a local drop-in centre involving 30 to 40 young people, many armed, and most (70 per cent) on ecstasy. It ended peacefully after RCMP attended. In response to a council question, Bouvier said in the Langleys, about 60 per cent of kids in need are located in the Township, 40 per cent in the city. A breakdown provided by Access shows most are male (about two-thirds) and Caucasian (about nine in 10) with 13- to 14-year-olds making up the largest contingent (one in three). Access used to be known as PoCoMo Youth Services, but changed the name last year to better reflect its mandate.

Question langeytimes.com
On Thursday, a local protest drew attention to Kinder Morgan’s activities in Langley, as it continues to prepare for the possibility of twinning the Trans Mountain oil pipeline. There has been seismic testing on two Langley properties in recent weeks, as part of the company’s preparations. In addition, the company has now confirmed that it wishes to route the new pipeline across the Langley Township-owned Redwoods Golf Course, as it is diverted away from the original pipeline. Both of these developments have helped a few more Langley residents to focus on the proposed project, which has thus far captured minimal interest in this community. Langley Township has registered as an intervenor in the National Energy Board hearings, and has on several occasions asked for public comments as it prepares its questions. The protesters believe that the second pipeline should not be built. Among their concerns are increased oil use and the potential for global warming and climate change; the plan to ship crude oil by tanker across the north Pacific Ocean, and the potential for environmental disaster should a ship sink or be grounded along the coast; and lack of support for the project from local First Nations, who as a result of both the constitution and numerous court victories have far more say over this project than they did when the original pipeline was built in 1953. An additional factor that has yet to be addressed by Kinder Morgan is the falling price of oil. Is this type of project viable when oil prices are less than half what they were a year ago? It has already been made clear that many Alberta oilsands project are not viable if oil prices are below $50 a barrel. While this dip in prices may be temporary, no one knows for sure where the prices will be in one, three or five years. Given that building the pipeline is a very costly capital project, Kinder Morgan must at the very least be crunching numbers and keeping a sharp eye on prices. For the foreseeable future, there is a need to move oil to the B.C. coast — either as crude oil for refineries in B.C. and Washington state, or as refined product. There simply are not enough viable alternate energy sources at this time. But in the longer term, it seems quite likely that there will be a significant lessening of demand for oil within North America. People are already consuming less fuel per capita, and electric and hybrid cars are beginning to make an impact. Exports of crude are another quite separate issue. Langley residents would do well to give more thought to the proposed pipeline, and its varied costs and benefits.

The gradual signing by northern First Nations to a provincial program offering millions of dollars tied to the prospect of natural gas pipelines crossing through their traditional territories is a continuation of a broad policy which now stretches over several decades. And that is to slowly — and everything involving government action takes place very slowly — establish an economic base by which First Nations can prosper. With the exception in our area of the Nisga’a, who have chosen to develop their economy within the context of their ground-breaking 2000 land and government agreement with the provincial and federal governments, other First Nations are choosing to negotiate agreements separate from political or government to government arrangements. The first of these economic agreements concerned forestry as witnessed by ones involving the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum to the point that today, each has a standalone forestry operation. Specific to natural gas, the pipeline deals signed by the Kitselas First Nation several weeks ago broaden the objective of economic development. However First Nations seek to place themselves within the economy of northwestern B.C. the result is stability and the certainty that when businesses consider investment in the region, the pathway is clear. As First Nations prosper, so will everyone else. — Terrace Standard

BCTF working on many initiatives Editor: Contrary to Tom Fletcher’s assertion (BC Views, The Times, Feb. 5) that B.C. teachers and the B.C. Teachers Federation are not “adapting,” we are actually leading the way in protecting and enhancing education in our province. The BCTF is actively involved in B.C.’s task force on assessment, the graduation requirements review, and the curriculum redesign teams. Our two vice-presidents and I have been meeting with senior ministry of education staff on these initiatives as well. As a union of professionals, we work hard to enhance our practice in support of teaching and learning. The BCTF has 32 provincial specialist associations — ranging from science, social studies, and art to technology and trades education — that put on exceptional professional development conferences, write reports, and lead important teacher inquiry projects. Recently, the BCTF has partnered with UBC and the B.C. Su-
perintendents Association to create a province-wide mentoring program that will formalize an integrated system of support for developing and retaining teachers in B.C.. We also funded, created, and launched a new online platform called TeachBC that enables teachers from across B.C. to share their research and teaching resources. There are a lot of excellent things happening in B.C. schools and teachers are front and centre making it all happen. However, we cannot forget that any government strategy, initiative, direction, plan, etc., needs funding. Unfortunately, we’re still waiting for this government to fund the basics like improving class size and composition. A change in government attitude towards funding is the first adaptation B.C. students need. JIM IKER, BCTF PRESIDENT

City damages opportunities for small businesses Editor: As a small business owner, who has been conducting my business in the City of Langley for almost four years, I am utterly disappointed with the treatment of the small businesses in the area. The City of Langley handcuffs our hands, and has made doing business almost impossible here. I have noticed customers running out of a hair salon half way through their appointments, with towels wrapped around their heads, to quickly move a vehicle so as not to get a ticket. This makes zero sense, as we are to trying to provide the best service. How can we compete with this kind of nonsense? We should be able to validate a customer
so they are not afraid to leave a place of business half way through a visit, worried about the chance of a ticket. This makes working closely with our customers and providing them quality service nearly impossible. They wonder after going out and looking for a new parking spot is worth their time. On many occasions where a customer has left and moved their car so they will not be fined, they are still fined as the socalled chalk line did not disappear. This only frustrates the customer more, causing them to take it out on small business owners. They question why, if we saw them leave, we can’t get this ticket cancelled. Families have come to restaurants, sat
down, placed an order of appetizers, had a drink and even before a food order is placed had to run and find a new parking spot. This is unacceptable and ridiculous. How are we expected to work with these restraints? The City of Langley puts more emphasis on harassing good paying customers, rather then having the loiterers move on. It ignores those who hang around the buildings and scare off our paying customers. Then there is the harassment of small businesses over signs. I have had my signs placed on the front of my business the same way for well over four years. Now it has been forcefully removed without my permission, and taken
without notification. I first incurred a finacially cost when the building I am in had its awnings removed and upgraded without any approval or input. I lost space and went almost close to three months with no signage, costing me a fair amount of business in the summer months. When my awnings and signage were taken down, I had to replace it at a cost of $1,400. Now the signs that were placed on the building have been removed and taken without my consent and knowledge. I consider this to be theft. H.S. MOBILEWORLD AND ELECTRONICS SERVICE, LANGLEY CITY
Conservatives lose his vote Columbia treaty was complex Editor: As long as I can remember, I have been supporting the Reform/Alliance /Conservative Party of Canada. I’ve always voted for fine men such as Randy White and Mark Warawa. Although I see some value in socialism, the free enterprise system just makes more sense to me. Therefore I always vote rightof-centre. But that has now changed. I will not be voting Conservative in the next federal election. This government has continued to refuse to deal with the situation of an outstanding member of society, Jose Figueroa. He is still in sanctuary at the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church after one and one-half years. The Canada Border Services Agency has still not dropped the arrest warrant against Figueroa, but continues to perform surveillance of the church parking lot. The depor-
tation order has not been cancelled, despite a Federal Court ruling in his favour. This government, particularly the ministers responsible — Steven Blaney (Minister of Public Safety), and Chris Alexander (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) — have the power to override the decision and right the situation for the Figueroa family. They have been silent, ignoring the cries of the family and public. They have dawdled on this issue for far too long. It is un-Canadian for this to be happening. Ironically, Jose and his family are being repressed by the Canadian government, a nation known to be compassionate to those who have suffered in other countries. I can no longer vote for a party with repressive immigration policies. RON DEKROON, LANGLEY
Editor: Re: U.S. ripping us off on water (B.C. Views, The Times, Jan. 8). I am a scholar of Columbia River Treaty history and live in the region where all the losses occurred. My own upcoming book about the treaty, A River Captured, represents a decade of research and travel across the Columbia Basin on both sides of the boundary. This is a big, complex story that deserves lots of attention. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that the U.S. was not necessarily the Big Bad Wolf we would like to make them out to be. In fact, the U.S. formally asked Canada in the 1930s if this country had an interest in those salmon that would be blocked and it was Canada that said no. Had Canada’s response been different, we might have gotten that fish ladder and saved our unique Interior salmon runs. There was considerably controver-
sy over the treaty between its signing in 1961 and its ratification by Canada in 1964. During that time, the agreement was on the edge of being tossed out, with Prime Minister Lester Pearson actively promoting the negotiation of a new treaty during his 1963 election campaign. The U.S., as a result of their own shifting water policies, would have very likely co-operated with changing or scrapping that treaty. It was Canada’s federal bureaucrats who went into high gear to justify what had been signed and make sure it went through. There is no question in my mind that Canada and B.C.’s government agencies played a very significant role in making the mess we got in 1964. EILEEN DELEHANTY PEARKES, NELSON

Pay parking at hospitals is here to stay JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s
Fraser Health is defending its policy of charging for pay parking at most of the region’s hospitals to generate additional revenue. The policy — long denounced by hospital users as a heartless cash grab — came under fire again at a Jan. 29 meeting of Fraser’s board of directors in South Surrey. Langley Township resident Harold Nagy demanded to know why Delta and Mission don’t have “this B.S. about pay parking,” while patients and visitors must pay at other hospitals. Delta and Mission are the only two municipalities that have bylaws that prohibit pay parking at hospitals. “They should all be free,” Nagy said, adding the charges make some patients worry they’ll run out of time and be fined.
“It’s a place of necessity when you go there. It’s not like going out for supper.” About a third of the $8 million made from pay parking each year goes to maintain the lots, and the rest goes into the authority’s budget for patient care. “Personally, I wish it could be consistent,” Fraser Health board chair Karen Matty told Black Press. “But we do not write bylaws in the various communities.” The Canadian Medical Association Journal once likened pay parking to an unfair user fee that can add stress for patients and disrupt their care if they have to go out and feed a meter. Fraser provides free parking passes for renal dialysis patients and grants other financial hardship parking permits on a case-by-case basis. For everyone else, Matty predicts hospital pay parking is here to stay.
“Having to pay for parking is something that people need to get their head around,” she said. “I don’t want to pay for parking. But parking seems to be becoming a premium here in B.C., especially the Lower Mainland. And I think we are all getting used to that fact.” Part of the rationale for pay parking is it spurs stall rotation, so some spaces are available when patients and visitors need them and aren’t hogged all day by users from surrounding businesses. Parking costs $3.50 an hour at most hospitals in the Fraser region, although it starts at $4.25 at Burnaby, Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial hospitals. Hourly rates are lower in the eastern Fraser Valley — $2.50 in Abbotsford, $1.75 in Chilliwack and free in Hope. White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said he can’t recall his council ever being asked
#SOH2015
to outlaw pay parking at Peace Arch Hospital. But he suggested Delta Hospital is a special case because of its location with an abundance of other free parking nearby. “Different situations call for different tactics,” Baldwin said. “If (Delta) put in pay parking probably people would simply park along the roads up to it or around city hall. So it doesn’t make a lot of sense.” Baldwin also noted some pay parking lots at Peace Arch Hospital are actually owned and operated by the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation, with all proceeds going directly to local hospital improvements, not into Fraser’s budget. Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation also owns parking lot adjacent to Langley Memorial Hospital, with all profits going to specific equipment and campaigns at Langley Memorial Hospital.

Valley Express bus service will come to Carvolth ALE X B U TL E R Bl ack Pre s s
The Fraser Valley Express, a new bus service connecting Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Langley, will launch on April 6. On weekdays, there will be 17 round trips, with the first westbound trip starting at 5:15 a.m. and the last eastbound trip at 9:05 p.m. On Saturdays, there will be four round trips, with the first westbound trip at 9 a.m. and the last eastbound trip at 6:30 p.m. The Express will make stops in Chilliwack at the Lickman Park and Ride, Vedder Road and Luckakuck Way, and in downtown Chilliwack. In Abbotsford, the bus will
stop at the McCallum park and ride and Highstreet Shopping Centre, and in Langley at Carvolth Exchange. There passengers will be able to connect to the TransLink bus system. They will have to pay TransLink fares, in addition to the fare paid for the express bus. Barclay Pitkethly, director of regional programs at the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD), spoke to Abbotsford council about the plans for the new bus on Monday, Feb. 2. Originally they did not plan to have a stop at the Highstreet Shopping Centre “due to the fairly complex configuration of the road system there,� but there was a high demand from
those who were surveyed about the project, Pitkethly said. As the service continues, they will consider other stops, such as at Whatcom Road, he said. The rate will be set at $5 for a ticket and free for people eight years and under. A book of 10 tickets will cost $45, and an adult monthly pass will be $100 and a student/senior monthly pass will cost $85. Abbotsford and Chilliwack will each pay for part of the service, with Abbotsford’s projected cost at $411,897 and Chilliwack’s at $233,709. BC Transit will contribute $704,813. Langley will not be paying into the service.
Teen who stabbed another at bus loop gets jail time A Langley teen who stabbed a youth at the Langley City bus loop in June 2014 was sentenced to 84 days in jail, three years probation, a lifetime firearms prohibition and $200 victim surcharge. Back in November, Jordan Leclerc, 18, pleaded guilty to one
count of aggravated assault for stabbing a Langley boy in the neck and back. Leclerc was sentenced in Surrey Provincial Court on Wednesday. He has been in jail since his arrest the day of the stabbing. Last June, the teens got into a fight at the Logan Avenue bus
exchange in broad daylight. After the fight, Leclerc was arrested nearby. Both involved are known to each other and to police. The victim didn’t co-operate with police, said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks at the time. The victim has since made a full recovery.

for his injuries, past loss of earnings and bike – about $39,000 in total.
Injuries caused by man’s best friend happen more often than you might think. There are reportedly hundreds of thousands of claims each year under homeowner liability policies in Canada for injuries caused by dogs. And while dog bites are the most common injury, a dog can sometimes cause trouble in other ways.
One way Peter was able to win was to prove in court the legal doctrine of “scienter� by establishing that Sam was the owner of Rover, that Rover had a tendency or “propensity� to do the sort of thing that led to Peter’s injury, and that Sam knew of this tendency.
Take the recent case of Peter (all names changed). He was riding his bicycle along a country road in Chilliwack in front of Sam’s front yard, where Sam kept his dog, Rover, behind an invisible electronic perimeter fence. Suddenly, Peter noticed he was being chased aggressively by Rover, an 89-pound Doberman, who had escaped from Sam’s yard. Despite pedalling furiously, Peter couldn’t get away fast enough and Rover charged the bike. Rover struck its back wheel so hard that he knocked Peter off the bike and made him fly over the handle bars. Peter thudded heavily to the ground and broke his left clavicle and two ribs. Rover was always good-natured around Sam and his kids. But it turned out he had a habit of racing passing bicyclists all along Sam’s front yard. Normally, Rover was kept in the yard by the electronic fence, so he chased alongside it inside the yard, barking and getting as close to the passing cyclist as he could without getting an electric shock. But this time, the receiver in his collar wasn’t working, allowing him to escape from the yard and knock Peter over. The B.C. Supreme Court decided that, even though this was the first time Rover had actually knocked down and injured a cyclist, Sam was responsible. He (or his liability insurer) had to compensate Peter
Sam knew Rover liked to race passing cyclists – only the fear of the electronic fence kept him away from them. When the electronic restraint didn’t work, Rover acted just as could be expected of him, causing Peter’s injuries. The judge also decided Sam was negligent by not properly controlling Rover. Sam hadn’t tested the invisible electronic fence and dog collar recently, or as frequently as recommended. The electronic fence was only a deterrent, not a fool-proof restraint – and unlike a physical fence, it wasn’t possible to tell just by looking whether it was working. There was no physical fence or barrier to keep Rover inside the front yard, and he wasn’t chained or leashed. Dogs are domestic animals. It’s sometimes said that “every dog is entitled to one bite� before an owner becomes liable. But this case highlights that an actual bite isn’t necessary – a dog’s tendency to bite or do some other harm, which the owner knows about, is enough to make the owner responsible for his pet’s actions.

Do you have a New Year’s When it comes to New Year’s resolutions, a healthier diet and increased exercise probably comes to everyone’s mind. And while both are important to one’s well-being, there’s a piece of the vitality puzzle that’s often overlooked – oral health. “Oral health is not only important to your appearance, but also to your overall health,” said Dr Pierre Vigneault from 200th Street Dental in Langley. “We know now that dental health is linked to heart and stomach health” “The connection may not exactly be breaking news, however, many still put off regular trips to the dentist or shy away from cosmetic dentistry because of fear or unknown costs.” Vigneault, along with the rest of the friendly team at 200th St Dental encourage men and women of all ages to make dental health a priority for 2015. “Why keep putting it off? he asked. “You deserve to go to a dental practice that makes you feel empowered about the options available, including pain-free dentistry, plain talk that explains choices, a non embarrassing safe environment “ 200th Street Dental provides a one-of-a
kind dental experience for all ages — one that makes you feel at ease the second you walk through the front door and are greeted by the friendly reception. “Our doctors will go above and beyond to ensure the best possible experience for every patient , treating all patients as unique valued individuals, empowered with the information they need to make the right choices that can fit their aesthetic goals and financial objectives,” said Suejee Quon, Marketing Manager of 200th Street Dental. “ You would be surprised that there are many ways to get the perfect smile and choices that vary in costs. We conduct a thorough assessment of patient needs, and develop a treatment program that is customized to their needs and financial goals.” Some dental practices dissuade children from becoming patients, because it takes a special kind of training and personal temperament – not the case at 200th Street Dental, which prides itself on being a family practice. “We are all about family and community, and are delighted when generations of patients from the same family turn to us for their needs,” said Quon.

Thoroughly Modern times at Brookswood Secondary LANGLEY HIGH SCHOOL JAZZED TO PRESENT HIT BROADWAY SHOW BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
Same place, different time. Hard on the heels of last year’s song and dance production, In the Heights, Brookswood drama and music students invite you to join them as they return to the Big Apple. This time, they’re heading for the Jazz Age, when “modern” women were bobbing their hair, raising their hemlines, entering the workforce, and rewriting the rules of love. Thoroughly Modern Millie hits the stage at Brookswood Secondary from Feb. 11 to 21. Telling the story of Millie Dillmount a young woman from Kansas who decides to make a new life for herself in the big city during the Roaring ’20s, Thoroughly Modern Millie is “a great, fun, bright, jazzy show,” filled with “fun and hummable” music, said drama teacher Sheri Eyre, who took over the high school theatre department this year from longtime instructor Sharon Conrad. All the catchy tunes will be brought to life by a 14-piece student orchestra, led by music instructor and co-director Gordon Hamilton. Few of the students in the cast of 24 had even heard of the play before it was announced, said Eyre.
But they loved the music immediately and quickly embraced the opportunity to dress up in period costume and to get a sense of what life was like when telegrams were the equivalent of a smart phone. Choosing which show to mount as the school’s big musical of the year depends largely on the talent pool from which they can draw, explained Eyre. “Who do we have in our roster? What character do they fit?” Typically, she said, she looks for productions that feature good strong female roles, because it’s an unfortunate fact that far more girls than boys tend to gravitate toward the performing arts in high school. This year, the presence of two strong female performers, both in Grade 12, as well as a pair of young actors who were more than capable of taking on lead male roles, led them to Thoroughly Modern Millie. Of course, when it comes to putting on a play at a high school level, there’s more to consider than how to cast it. Part of the storyline of Thoroughly Modern Millie includes young women being sold from their hotel to a slavery ring in China. “We’ve tried downplaying the human traf-
ficking side of things,” laughed Eyre. One thing she does want audiences to focus on, however, is the young actress in the lead role. For Kaitlyn Santa Juana, who appeared last year as Nina in 2014’s In the Heights and now plays Millie Dillmount, life will somewhat imitate art as the Grade 12 student heads to New York this spring for a callback audition at NYU. The school has a strong theatre program and it’s among Santa Juana’s top picks for her post secondary education, said Eyre. Santa Juana first auditioned for a role in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee four years ago when she was in Grade 9. “She opens her mouth and this really lovely voice comes out,” recalled Eyre, who started as a student teacher that year under Conrad. “She’s going places, that girl.” Before she goes, Langley audiences will have several chances to see and hear Santa Juana and the rest of the cast and orchestra over the next two weeks. Thoroughly Modern Millie runs Feb. 11-14 and 18-21 at Brookswood Secondary 20902 37A Ave. Doors open at 6:30, curtain rises at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12 and may be purchased online at brownpapertickets.com.
Aladdin, the classic tale of a street urchin and a magic, genie-producing lamp, is flying onto the Langley stage, Feb. 27 to March 8. Imagine That! Production’s upcoming show tells the story of Aladdin (Ian Frayne), his monkey sidekick Alakazam (Ella de Bulnes) and the beautiful Princess Jasmine (Jessa Martens). Audiences are invited to meet the devious magician, Jammal, and his sister, Halima, who try to trick Aladdin in a malicious scheme to acquire a magical lamp containing a wish-granting genie. This is a fast-moving play with a large cast of colourful characters, including Aladdin’s poor mother and sister; the bickering, yet lovable, Sultan and Queen Sultana; Scheherazade, teller of stories; Zara and Sheba, tentative servants to the Princess; Chop-Chop, the merciless executioner; the whining “Bubba”; a Dragon who ‘kinda’ breaths fire and not one, not two, but three magical genies. Aladdin is produced and directed by Faith Toronchuk. Performance Dates: • Friday, Feb. 27 at 7:30 p.m. • Saturday, Feb. 28 at 2:30 p.m. • Sunday, March 1 at 2:30 p.m. • Friday, March 6 at 7:30 p.m. • Saturday, March 7 at 2:30 p.m. • Sunday, March 8 2:30 p.m. All shows take place at The Venue, 5708 Glover Rd., inside Friends Langley Vineyard Church facility. Parking in rear of building enter off Logan Avenue, next to Monte Carlo Pizza. Tickets are $15 and are available from cast and crew, online at imaginethatplace.com or at the box office one hour before showtime.

Health Matters
Do your Valentine’s plans include sweets for your sweetie? Make it dark chocolate and your treat could pack a health punch as well. A combined research team from Boston and Italy found that dark chocolate, 100 grams daily, was associated with lower blood pressure, lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and improved insulin sensitivity. A gift from the heart – for the heart! Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a condition where the blood flow to the extremities is limited, resulting in weakness and pain. A study out of Italy has found that the consumption of just 40 grams of dark chocolate (more than 85 per cent cacao) increased both how far and how long PAD sufferers could walk – within only two hours of being eaten. Milk chocolate did not provide these benefits, so go for the good stuff! In another example of the benefits of moderation, drinking red wine (anywhere from two glasses per month to two glasses per day) has been associated with up to a 50% reduction in the risk

Fretless Friday at LFAS CELTIC STRING QUARTET COMES TO CHIEF SEPASS Friday the 13th will bring plenty of luck for local fans of award-winning Canadian folk music. Celtic ensemble, The Fretless, are coming to Fort Langley on Feb. 13, as they play their way across the Pacific Northwest. And it’s all for a very good cause. With stops planned for Vancouver Island as well as Washington State and Oregon, the award-winning Canadian string quartet will wind up its West
Coast swing in Vancouver on Feb. 15. But this Friday night it will be the Chief Sepass Theatre at Langley Fine Arts School that’s alive with The Fretless’ intricate and high-energy arrangements of traditional folk melodies. The Fort Langley concert will also be a fundraiser for Mosqoy. The charitable organization founded by LFAS alumna Ashli Akins provides economic and educational opportunities to marginalized communities
in the Andes region of South America, while helping to nurture their threatened culture. The evening will also feature an exhibition of photography and textiles, presented by LFAS students during intermission. Show starts at 7 p.m. in Chief Sepass Theatre, located at 9096 Trattle St. in Fort Langley. Tickets are $10 student and $15 adult, plus service fees.

Poppy to get ‘Fame’ style academy MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
A Langley school will have its own dance academy- akin to the TV show Fame. At a recent board of education meeting, trustees unanimously endorsed the creation of a musical theatre academy at D.W. Poppy Middle School. Building on a very popular theatre program at the Aldergrove school, this will allow for students to get credit for their acting, dancing and musical interests. Drama teachers who spoke at the meeting said the academy would be all inclusive with those
accepted into the program having to be passionate. There would be no tryouts. Students would be required to take drama, choir, band and dance. “It may bring in motivated students from other districts,” said teacher Amber Blount. D.W. Poppy, like Aldergrove Secondary and Langley Secondary are always looking at ways to increase enrolment numbers. The dance theatre will have produce several large shows per year. There will be an application and interview.

Usually associated with dairy products, such as yogurt, Spanish researchers have found that wine can be a significant source as well. Unfortunately, the sulfating process for preserving wine kills these good bacteria, so the good stuff may have to be extracted before bottling. Moderation.

‘We saw something special in him’ RHYS DUCH ALL-TIME LEAD ING SCORER FOR STEALTH FRANC HISE GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
The goalies are so good now it is all about deception and not being predictable.
GA RY A HUJ A Langley Time s
A common sight at Vancouver Stealth games: Joel McCready (left) and Tyler Digby congratulate Rhys Duch (#10) after another goal. Earlier this season, Duch set the Stealth franchise record for all-time points. And since entering the National Lacrosse League in 2009, only one player has more points than Duch in that time. “He has the proven track record at junior and at Stony Brook, as a natural goal scorer,” Locker added. And Duch did not disappoint, winning the NLL rookie of the year award in 2009 and still holding the league record for rookie assists (54) and points (89). “Rhys really has been the heart and soul of the team from an offensive standpoint,” Locker said. “He is just one of those guys you can depend on to get 35 to 45 goals a year just because he is such a good shooter.” “Even a bad year for him is 80 points,” Locker added referring to last season, when he still lead the Stealth and finished in the top 10 in the NLL.
Known for his goal-scoring prowess, Duch said there is no secret to his shot. “The goalies are so good now it is all about deception and not being predictable,” he said. “It is about changing your shots up, whether it be in your release or where you place it.” The other key is to not get complacent. “It is about absorbing, never being satisfied,” he added. “You have to be constantly learning, goalies are getting better and you have to do the same.” While success may drive some to have an ego, that is not the case with the Stealth sniper. Locker said Duch isn’t cocky, but is confident in his skills.
“Usually when you see the ball in Duch’s stick, he has a knack for rising up in those key situations,” he said. “He is a guy who consistently rises in big situations, pressure situations. He loves having the ball in those situations.” For Duch, he is simply doing what he has always done: score goals. Offence has always been the key, ever since he was five years old. “I was always getting in trouble for not putting a full effort in defence,” he said with a chuckle. “I have always had an attraction to the excitement and — for lack of a better word — the glory that offensive guys get.”

Make it the Sweetest Day of the Year
DAN FER GUS ON L an gley Tim es
Langley Thunder’s Keith Manby is faced with a double team by the Coquitlam Adanacs during his team’s U14 Pacific Coast Field Lacrosse League game at Willoughby Community Park on Feb. 1.
Kodiaks clinch division title, Knights close in on second The Aldergrove Kodiaks have captured the Harold Brittain division title for the second year in a row. The junior B hockey club took care of clinching the title with three games to go in the regular season thanks to a 4-1 victory over the Abbotsford Pilots in PJHL action at the Aldergrove Arena on Feb. 4. Brandon Dolby scored twice while Noah Wiebe and Joshua Poitras had a goal apiece in the victory. Ben Giesbrecht stopped 20 of the 21 shots he faced with Lucian Serban the lone Pilot to beat him. The Kodiaks (22-12-2-6, 52 points) did see their five-game
win streak come to an end the next night as they fell 5-4 in overtime to the Langley Knights at the George Preston Recreation Centre. Colin Catchpole’s second of the game was the difference as he scored at 2:01 of the extra period. The Knights trailed 4-3 after two periods but Dylan McCann tied things up early in the third. Tristan Craighead and Joshua Smith had the other Langley goals while Brandon Dolby, Quinncy Leroux, Evan Cusmano and Eric Callegari replied for Aldergrove. Nickolas Trenciansky made 31 saves for the victory as the
Knights improved to 22-18-11 and sit second in the Harold Brittain Division with 46 points. Langley needs just a single point in their final two games to play to clinch home-ice for the first round of the post-season. The Knights close the regular season with a home game on Thursday (Feb. 12) against the Ridge Meadows Flames and a road contest the following night at the Abbotsford Pilots. The Kodiaks finish with a home game tomorrow (Wednesday) against the Delta Ice Hawks and a road game on Saturday versus the Mission City Outlaws.

Trio win Horse Council BC awards It has been quite the year for the Langley equestrian committee as locals have won a trio of Horse Council BC awards. The junior athlete of the year, the coach of the year and the horse of the year are all from Langley. Courtney Palleson was named the top junior athlete, Rochelle Kilberg won the coaching award and Hey’s Dance Class was the top horse. The junior athlete of the year award recognizes outstanding athletic performance by an athlete 17 years or younger representing B.C. at either the provincial, national and/or international level. Some of Palleson’s achievements in dressage included being the Touch of Class champion, the B.C. Heritage Reserve champion, winning four gold medals at the B.C. Summer Games, overall champion in dressage and hack classes at the Rising Stars youth dressage, three silver medals at the Canadian interprovincial equestrian championships and winning the Pacific Regional championship. She accomplished all of those feats — except the Canadian interprovincial equestrian championship — on her own horse, Beauty. Kilberg, of Hazelmere Equestrian Centre, won the coach of the year award. Kilberg served as the Zone 3 (Fraser Valley) head coach for the 2014 B.C. Summer Games as they won the team gold. She was also coach for Team
B.C. at the Canadian interprovincial equestrian championships, with Palleson winning silver at the event. To be considered for the award, a coach needed to be nominated by at least two other Horse Council BC members. And the horse of the year award went to Arabian mare Hey’s Dance Class, who was born and raised in Langley’s Herman Steunenberg and Sandra Arabsky’s horse breeding farm Sky’s The Limit Arabians. The HCBC Horse of the Year — competitive division award is awarded to a horse who was born and raised in BC and who, over the year, has achieved a high level of success in any provincial, national, or international sanctioned competition in a recognized discipline. Hey’s Dance Class, or Bug as she is known around the barn, is owned by Sandra Nickolls of Armstrong and trained by Aldergrove’s Brenda Driediger. She is trained by Steunenberg and Arabsky. In 2014, the mare was the highest scoring horse that competed in the Sport Horse in Hand Division at an Arabian Horse Show in Arizona. And in May, she took home a dozen firstplace finishes and championships with three second-place finishes and reserve championships at the AAHABC Concurrent Show at Thunderbird Show Park. These are just some of the horse’s 2014 accomplishments.
