Langley is Canada’s mail theft capital

Couple arrested for fraud

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

Langley continues to have the dubi-ous distinction of being the mail theft capital of Canada.

Recently, Canada Post revealed that Metro Vancouver has the highest oc-currence of mail theft, with Langley being the current and longstanding hotspot.

Figures for 2013 from the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) show that the number of reported identity fraud victims was up by nearly 14 per cent over the previous year.

The trend has continued this year, suggesting people need to be more vig-ilant when it comes to protecting their confi dential information.

According to the Langley RCMP crime analyst, in the week of Sept. 1 through 7, there were reports of fi ve mail thefts, in Walnut Grove, north Langley, Wil-lowbrook, Murrayville and 8 Avenue.

“That isn’t remarkably high com-pared to the days when there were up to 20 mail thefts in just one night,” said Cpl. Holly Marks. “Slowly Canada Post is replacing the community boxes in Langley and people are getting smart-er about picking up their mail every day.”

A Langley man and woman in their 30s were recently charged with iden-tity theft (see story below) after police dismantled a major fraud operation

based out of a rental house in north Langley.

In that case, a stolen Canada Post uniform was found along with 13,000 identities, identity making equipment and other fraud items.

The man arrested was already out on bail for doing the same thing in Burn-aby.

Though efforts to increase the pub-lic’s awareness continue with full force, the number of Canadians fall-ing prey to identity fraud is on the rise nearly 14 per cent over the previous year.

CAFC also estimates their statistics account for less than fi ve per cent of actual fraudulent activity.

That upward trend has continued into 2014, with CAFC’s mid-year num-bers suggesting that just as many peo-ple, if not more, will be defrauded this year. “Though the dollar value of loss-es is decreasing, what we really want to see is fewer people victimized,” said Lindzee Herring, assistant vice-presi-dent of corporate security at Envision Financial. “Dealing with the aftermath of identity fraud is unpleasant and stressful, so we really encourage our members to take every possible step to safeguard their identity.”

Personal documents are one of the most commonly-exploited means of identity theft.

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

A Langley man and woman have been arrested and a major fraud oper-ation dismantled out of a north Lang-ley home.

Included in the items seized by po-lice are a Canada Post uniform, 13,000 credit card numbers and more than $100,000 worth of construction, exca-vation and lawn equipment.

On July 17, the RCMP “E” Division Federal Serious and Organized Crime Section (FSOC) with the assistance

of Langley RCMP, the Emergency Re-sponse Team and the Integrated Fo-rensic Identifi cation Section, execut-ed a search warrant at a north Langley residence.

The search warrant was the result of an investigation into several large fraudulent transactions.

The investigation was initiated in June after a common suspect was identifi ed through Abbotsford Police, Victoria Police and Burnaby RCMP in-vestigations. Kwyn Bryson, 3, of Langley was having tons of fun in the straw pile at the Campbell Valley Country Cel-

ebration Saturday at Campbell Valley Park.

International students wait in limboMONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

With the school district’s annual budget relying heavily on international students, Langley administrators are hoping the strike doesn’t hurt enrolment next year.

Already a few students have withdrawn from the program in Langley because of the strike, the district confi rmed.

The nearly 700 international students who are in Langley have not been provided with any instruction this year despite pay-

ing hefty fees to be here. The strike, keep-ing schools closed, is in its third week.

“We held a few orientation events but there has been no instruction,” said Lang-ley School District spokesperson Ken Hoff. “We remain hopeful school will be back in session sometime soon but in the mean-time, our international students are just as frustrated as all our students.”

Principals and vice-principals in a few other school districts have been offering some programming and class instruction

to international students.In Langley, some international students

have withdrawn from the program be-cause of the strike, Hoff confi rmed.

The school district heavily relies on rev-enue from the international students in their annual budget and the strike could cost B.C. school boards millions if interna-tional students decided to go elsewhere.

“It’s always a concern that this will dam-age the reputation of the international program,” he said.

At one of the last school board meet-ings, members of the team that organize the international student program said it has exceeded expectations in the number of students coming to Langley from other countries for this school year, and the dis-trict had budgeted accordingly.

International students can ask for tuition refunds until Sept. 30, according to a letter to the editor (The Times, Sept. 2) from Ming Hu, who works with Langley international students.

Deputy premier and Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman unveils a sign with the new name for the B.C. Seniors Games on Saturday at the closing ceremonies. The games will now be known as the 55+ Games, to refl ect the age groups taking part in the annual event.


GARY AHUJATimes Reporter

One phone call sums up the essence of the B.C. Seniors Games.

A volunteer was at the Walnut Grove Aquatic Centre, watching as an athlete in her 90s kept touching the wall and completing her turn for another lap of the pool.

The volunteer remarked that she felt inspired just watching this athlete compete.

Shirley Stewart relayed the story to The Timeson Monday, two days after the 2014 B.C. Seniors Games came to a close in Langley.

Stewart served as the Games’ operations man-ager.

The four-day event brought more than 3,800 athletes from all around the province to the Township and the City. The Games also featured close to 1,200 volunteers.

“Everything went great,” Stewart said, echoing the sentiments of the volunteer who called her about how inspiring the athletes were.

The athletes ranged in age from 55 to 97 and three of those in attendance had competed at the fi rst B.C. Seniors Games back in 1987.

“That is just amazing, that they are still com-peting,” Stewart marveled.

As for the overall event, Stewart said there were no complaints.

“The weather was absolutely perfect,” she said.“We couldn’t ask for anything better.”At Saturday’s closing ceremonies, it was also

announced that the annual event will henceforth be known as the “55+ Games.”

The announcement was made by Fort Lang-ley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman, who unveiled the name and new logo.

Coleman said the name change “refl ects the spirit and vitality” of the competitors better.

The next games will be held in 2015 in North Vancouver.

At the closing ceremonies, Township Mayor Jack Froese praised the “army” of volunteers who helped keep the event running smoothly.

Seniors Games wrap up Saturday on a high note3,800 PARTICIPANTS TAKE PART IN LANGLEY GAMES


Langley RCMP are putting out a warning about fake U.S. mon-ey, after seeing an increase in counterfeit bills.

Over the last couple of months, Langley RCMP has seen an increase in U.S. currency be-ing used in the community.

In the three most recent in-stances, an unknown female on Aug. 6 used counterfeit U.S. money to make a purchase.

On Aug. 7 and 9, four youths paid for goods with counter-feit $100 U.S. notes. Police have seized the notes, identifi ed the youths and informed their par-

ents of their actions, said Cpl. Holly Marks.

Businesses should familiarize themselves with some of the security features of U.S. curren-cy. These features can be found at the following link: http://moneyfactory.com/anticoun-terfeiting/securityfeatures.html

If you suspect you have been offered a counterfeit note during a transaction:

• Politely refuse the note and explain that you suspect that it may be counterfeit.

• Ask for another note (and check it too).

• Advise the person to check the note with the local police.

• Inform local police of a pos-sible attempt to pass suspected counterfeit money.

It is important to be courte-ous, say police. The person in possession of the bill could be an innocent victim who does not realize that the note is sus-picious.

If you have any questions or would like a staff or per-sonal safety presentation, contact Langley RCMP’s Business Link Co-ordinator at 604-532-3210.

Police warn of counterfeit bills

A construction worker laying asphalt on 208 Street was run over by a two-tonne steam roll-er on Saturday evening.

The work accident took

place in the 8300 block of 208 Street, when the man’s leg was crushed by the asphalt roller.

When paramedics arrived, he was conscious and breath-

ing and rushed to hospital. The man only suffered a minor an-kle injury, said police. Langley RCMP and WorkSafe BC are in-vestigating.

“Paper is the easiest for criminals to exploit for identity fraud,” Herring says. “People make it too easy for criminals to obtain confi dential personal information.”

Mail theft and dumpster diving for personal documents like fi nancial statements or mailings are typical avenues that criminals use to obtain someone’s confi dential personal information.

“Paper account statements can be less secure than online statements because people are fail-ing to be vigilant in safeguarding their confi den-

tial documents,” said Herring. “Identity theft through the internet is always a

possibility, but it generally requires a higher de-gree of sophistication and expertise.”

Envision Financial has offered its members free, secure electronic account statements (e-state-ments), recommending the service as one mea-sure for reducing the risk of identity theft.

“Electronic statements, along with proper com-puter security and regular, secure document shredding are just a few of the layers of securi-ty consumers can use to increase the security of their personal information.”

Police also seized counter-feit government identity doc-uments in various stages of manufacturing and equipment required to manufacture coun-terfeit documents.

There was also the informa-tion of personal identity for many individuals who had no association to the residence.

“These items are believed to

have been acquired through fraud and many of the individ-uals identifi ed and contacted during this investigation pro-cess were previously unaware that they had been victimized,” says Staff Sgt. John Taylor of FSOC.

The man arrested on out-standing fraud charges and is being held in custody. Giovan-ni Michael Aiello, 32, and Nich-ole (Nikki) Maria McGregor,

36, both of Langley, are each facing several charges includ-ing fraud, identity theft, pos-session of property obtained by crime and possession of instruments for forging credit cards.

One of their charges is in re-lation to the recent PharmaNet data breach.

The pair face similar charges in Burnaby, Nanaimo and Ed-monton.

Ted Schaffer announced Fri-day that he wants to turn the title “acting mayor” into the real thing.

Schaffer, who has served for 21 years on Langley City council, was named acting mayor by council after former mayor Peter Fassbender was elected to the provincial legislature in May, 2013. Fassbender did not formally resign until January, in order to dispense with a byelection.

Schaffer believes he has the dedication and experience to work effectively for the citizens and the community, making the City of Langley “the place to be.”

“As a long-time Langley City Council member and resident, I believe in fostering growth and prosperity while preserving

our sense of community.“The most important is-

sues I see facing our City in the next four years are man-aging expectations. We need to balance the need to retain competitive taxation levels

with enhanced public safety, enhancing the quality of life in our community, and infrastructure renewal.”

His focus on keeping Langley City a thriv-ing, safe community includes encouraging business growth in the downtown core and working with the RCMP to allocate suffi cient resources to such programs as undercover operations and bike patrols.

Schaffer recognizes that crime issues are important. The City has hired two reserve RCMP offi cers, who have full police powers,

to patrol the downtown area, on varied shifts. City bylaw en-forcement staff also now work evenings and weekends, and just recently, the RCMP canine unit has begun training exer-cises in the city, both to sniff out drug caches and to add to the police presence.

The City also has security cameras up at McBurney Pla-za, Innes Corners and Doug-las Park. It is negotiating with TransLink about installing a security camera at the Logan Avenue bus stop.

He also wants to have a full range of community resources for youth and seniors, including commitment to

the Langley Seniors Resource Centre, the new Timms Com-munity Centre, and ensuring available, affordable sports and recreation opportunities.

He said he will work collab-oratively with other levels of government, social agencies and the community to deal with issues such as the trou-bled and the homeless, and ensuring the environment and green space receive the prop-er stewardship he feels they deserve. The Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation has an ambitious but practi-

cal transportation vision for the future for which he also plans to work on.

Gary Hee talks to Township Mayor Jack Froese Saturday morning at a residents’ petition drive for traffi c safety improvements on 72 Avenue and 198B Street, the scene of several serious crashes including a recent pedestrian fatality.


DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

Covering over the ditch on 72 Avenue near 198B Street with temporary steel plates would provide an immediate, low-cost interim safety solution, says Gary Hee, the organizer of a petition calling for traffi c calming mea-sures at the Langley intersection.

“This might cost $10,000,” Hee told The Times Saturday, as he collected signatures at the in-tersection.

Hee said Mayor Jack Froese was sympathetic, but made no commitments, when they spoke informally at the inter-section that morning.

Hee was to meet with Town-ship staff to discuss his propos-al on Monday.

There have been a number of serious accidents in the area of 72 Avenue and 198B Street, where the road coming from the east narrows to two lanes, and a ditch on one side leaves pedestrians about a metre of space to walk on next to on-

coming traffi c, without a side-walk or curb to separate them.

A recent collision claimed the life of an 83-year-old man on Thursday, Sept. 4. He was hit by a car.

Roger Bhullar, who lives next to the intersection, said crashes are all too common at that lo-cation.

“I see it every day,” said Bhul-lar, who was working with Hee to collect names Saturday.

“We understand that it’s a slow process [to install a traffi c light and sidewalk] but some-thing needs to be done now,” Bhullar added.

Hee launched a petition to improve traffi c safety along 72 Avenue last year after 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.

Hee said he was warned by Surrey city staff that he could face prosecution if he painted his own crosswalk on the road, while Township staff told him

to remove home-made warning signs, citing transport regula-tions.

Ramin Seifi , Township gen-eral manager, engineering and community development, has told council plans for the area include “full signalization” near the scene of the crash early in the new year.

A memo to council from the engineering division said the Township has the money to build a traffi c light at 196 Street and 72 Avenue, but can’t pro-ceed until a design consultant hired by the city of Surrey fi n-ishes work later this year.

The memo noted plans for widening of 72 Avenue between 196 Street and 200 Street to four lanes, including left turn lanes and bicycle lanes.

It added Township staff plan to conduct pedestrian and traf-fi c counts at the scene of the fatality, where two stop signs currently stand, “to determine if changes to the intersection traffi c control are warranted.”

Did you take part, as an athlete, volunteer or spectator, in the BC Seniors Games?

Should teachers go back to work immediately, whether or not there is a contract settlement??of the week

Questionwe asked you:Last Week

Students in B.C. public schools have now missed an entire month of classes, and there is just a glimmer of hope that the B.C. Teach-ers Federation strike may end soon.

It is easy to blame the provincial govern-ment, or the union. Both must accept much of the respon-sibility for the sorry impasse this labour situation has reached. The lack of meaningful bargaining for months, and willingness to leave the contract talks in limbo for al-most the entire summer, is a major reason there are no classes.

However, it is important to fully understand why things have got to this sorry state. There has been bad blood be-tween the BCTF and the provincial government for more than 40 years, going back to the days of the W.A.C. Bennett Social Credit government. There have been many work stop-pages, legislated settlements and threats from both sides.

However, the real architect of this unmitigated disaster for students and parents is former premier Gordon Camp-bell. Policies enacted during his government’s fi rst term, when he had a 75-seat majority in the provincial legisla-ture, led directly to this situation.

The BCTF likes to blame Premier Christy Clark, who for much of the Campbell government’s fi rst term was education minister. However, she was not the developer of education policy. Campbell, a former teacher, was. He was well-known to be a micro-manager, and he had pro-nounced views on what was wrong with the education system and how best to fi x it.

The BC Liberals’ “New Era” campaign document, which they brandished as they went into the 2001 election, states that they wanted “excellence in education.” It stated the following: “The NDP’s rigid ‘one size fi ts all’ approach to education has hurt students, forced schools to cut ser-vices and diverted program funding to government-im-posed labour contracts.”

The “government-imposed labour contracts” referred to is a contract the BCTF brokered with the province under the Glen Clark NDP government. That contract contained fi xed class sizes, and was imposed on school districts against their will.

Campbell decided that the contract had to be changed. So his government removed portions of it unilaterally, tak-ing out class size limits.

That is the contract that Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffi n twice ruled was illegally altered by the govern-ment. She said the province acted illegally in its unilateral actions, breaking a legal contract, and called on the gov-ernment to come up with solutions.

The government is appealing her latest decision, with that appeal to be heard soon in the B.C. Court of Appeal.

The BCTF isn’t the only union to have won a judgment against the Campbell government. The Hospital Employ-ees Union also won in court, after the government uni-laterally altered its contract and fi red 8,000 HEU workers.

In the HEU’s case, Campbell had specifi cally promised not to do so. He made no such promise to the BCTF.

Campbell did such things because he, in effect, had no opposition. Two NDP MLAs could not possibly stay on top of all the changes his government was bringing in. Within his own caucus, there were some protests (most notably from Blair Lekstrom, MLA for Peace River South), but they were overridden.

The unions got the last word. The HEU won its case in the Supreme Court of Canada in 2007. The BCTF case is winding its way there.

Given that the contract-breaking is unconstitutional, it is time to acknowledge that the Campbell government went too far in the early 2000s. The provincial government would be far better off to come to an agreement with the BCTF on class size and composition and drop its appeal of Griffi n’s decision.

The government is arguing in court that it needs to have fi nal say over how much is spent on education. That ar-gument is correct — all the better reason to come to an agreement. For now, the two sides need to agree to reopen schools, and then engage in meaningful, protracted and effective bargaining — with a specifi c time limit.

A negotiated agreement is a must, as the government has said. There must be a movement away from the nas-tiness between the two sides which has reached a zenith in this dispute.

Seniors Games werean unqualified successThe B.C. Seniors Games (now the 55+

Games), which ran from Wednesday through Saturday of last week, were an unqualifi ed success.

Almost 3,800 athletes from all parts of the province were on hand to compete in a wide variety of sports events. Three of them have taken part in every single Seniors Games, since they fi rst began 27 years ago.

Langley will likely go down as one of the best hosts for these games, and with good reason. The sporting facil-ities in this community are outstanding. Langley Events Centre was a tremendous locale for the opening ceremonies and for some of the events. It is busy every day of the year, and is a more complete facility than most communities have at their dis-posal.

McLeod Park is also an outstanding fa-cility, and there are dozens of others. It is possible to hold virtually any event in this community, from equestrian to rowing.

Then there’s the organizing committee. The list of directors is a who’s who of peo-ple who get things done in this community. They are successful individuals, but they are also community-minded individuals. Many have a track record in past events such as the 2010 Summer Games and last year’s highly-successful Special Olympics.

They also have the ability to enlist a large crop of volunteers. Langley is one of the vol-unteer capitals of this province, and punch-es far above its weight in this regard. Many people here genuinely like giving up their free time to put on successful community events, and they do so over and over.

The opening ceremony featured out-standing entertainment, including the

Langley Ukelele Ensemble, which is one of this commu-nity’s best-known musical am-bassadors. It was organized by Susan Magnusson, principal of the Langley Community Music School, which is another insti-tution with a sterling reputa-tion.

Representatives of all levels of government (except the Lang-ley Board of Education) were on hand. That is also typical of this

community. Federal, provincial and local governments (both of them called Lang-ley) work well together on many projects. Langley truly is one community, even though there are two municipalities.

It was a real pleasure to watch the open-ing ceremonies and follow the initial ath-letic activities. The weather was great. The competitors were enthusiastic. The volun-teers did a great job. And everybody was having fun.

One of the reasons there is a Seniors Games is to show that people past the age of 55 can take part in many activities and stay physically fi t, long into their retire-ment years. This is good for society. People feel better about themselves, and they are far less of a burden to the health care sys-tem.

Langley showed Seniors Games organiz-ers how to put on a great show. Congratu-lations to the athletes, the volunteers and the board of directors. Congratulations also to B.C. Sports Hall of Fame member David Esworthy, who helped light the Games torch, and to Langley Township Councillor Steve Ferguson, who competed in the Se-niors Games for the fi rst time.

Original design scupperedEditor: I read your column (The Times, Sept. 9) on the

opening of the Mufford Overpass with a great deal of interest. Permit me to mention a few pertinent details.

The well-guarded plans, concocted during Kurt Al-berts’ fi nal term as mayor, for the Mufford Overpass came to light in the fall of 2008, due to diligent efforts by the late Eric Bysouth. Since that time I have followed and documented the progress of the bypass in detail. I now have a fi le folder 1 7/16” thick on this project alone.

The development-driven design for the overpass and road network connected with it would have cut right through the old Hudson Bay Farm property. It would have destroyed 30 acres of farm land and rendered the rest of the property largely unfarmable.

There was another and far better design proposed, the so-called J-option, but it was rejected by council, as it evidently did not fi t into their plans. When I attended at the Agricultural Land Commission’s offi ce in Burna-by some time after Bysouth’s discovery, I showed them a copy of the original J-option drawings. As it turned out, the commission had never seen this document and it became apparent that the J-option drawings the Township for some reason had included with its appli-cation had been crudely altered, to the extent it bore only a vague resemblance to the original.

The commission would have had no choice but to turn down the altered version it had received. Quite a curious state of affairs.

Notwithstanding very strong opposition to Township council’s preferred design, when it came to a vote, the so-called sixpack of Councillors Fox, Ward, Bateman, Ferguson, Long and Dornan voted in favour. Mayor Green and Councillors Richter and Kositsky were op-posed, and for that they all deserve credit.

That however is not what put an end to this sorry

chapter.In order to level the playing fi eld, four private indi-

viduals, Jacob deRaadt, Roy Mufford, Lee Lockwood and Rick Green, decided it was necessary to make the Ag-ricultural Land Commission aware of some pertinent facts. The commission soon realized things pertaining to the Mufford Overpass were not quite as they had been presented to them by the Township.

The commission therefore decided to hold its own public hearing, which was attended by some 300 peo-ple. Less than fi ve speakers were in favour of the pro-posed design, with the rest of the many speakers were opposed. Some time after the public hearing, the com-mission rejected the design proposed by the Township.

Ultimately, were it not for the intervention of the four individuals, instead of recently celebrating the open-ing of the new Mufford Overpass, we might have had to endure the opening of an ill-conceived monstrosity. For that these gentlemen deserve a lot of credit.

The new overpass is a little better than what we had before, but the fact still remains, it is in the wrong place. It should have been built on the Langley Bypass, but that did not suit then-mayor Peter Fassbender of Lang-ley City. The irony is that there are already loud rum-blings about more overpasses being needed, including one on the Langley Bypass at Glover Road, where the real problem was to begin with, and at 200 Street.

Not if, but when these additional overpasses are built, it is worth noting that they are both in the City of Langley and the upheaval of the construction, and the costs, will only affect us (Township residents), to a lesser degree.

The J-option is looking better and better as time passes.

Please return father’s special bike An insightful columnEditor: I am writing this letter in hopes of having my

dad’s bicycle returned to him.His bicycle was stolen on Tuesday, Sept. 9 around 11

a.m. at Willoughby Town Centre in Langley. It is a sil-ver specialized bike with black lettering, and rounded handlebars with golf balls on the end. There was about $100 worth of groceries in the saddlebags.

This was no ordinary bicycle. My father, Franco Cana-le, has suffered from Parkinson’s disease for over 15 years. I will always remember him as an incredibly ac-tive man. He was a PE teacher, he ran marathons, and I have many wonderful memories of him taking me and my six siblings on camping trips, long bike rides, and hikes. While he will always be strong in my eyes, this disease has changed his life immeasurably.

As you may be aware, Parkinson’s disease is a degen-erative disorder that gradually affects one’s movement. He has gone from the active man I described to one who is often not able to walk, despite his medication.

The one thing that keeps him motivated is his bike.

He has spent many hours and a lot of money custom-izing it to suit his needs, and as he has not been able to drive for 10 years, it is his only means of transporta-tion. It enables him to keep active, strong and positive in the face of his illness, and I truly believe it is saving his life. He is devastated that it is gone.

As my dad is unable to work, my extremely hard-working mom is the sole provider for her family of seven children. This makes it diffi cult fi nancially for him to purchase another bike that will suit his special needs. If the person who took it could somehow return it to the police, no questions asked, our family would be extremely grateful.

Awareness around Parkinson’s is increasing, due in part to the activism of celebrities, such as Michael J. Fox. My father and the rest of my family were proud to recently volunteer at the Parkinson’s SuperWalk at Stanley Park.

Editor: Kudos, to you, for the historical, informative and in-sightful column (The Times, Sept. 9) regarding the impact that the Delta-port trains are having, and will con-tinue to have on Langley.

However, I had to smile when you described me as having a “combat-ive personality.” While in offi ce I did do battle, on behalf of the residents and taxpayers of this municipality, so perhaps you could describe me as combative.

It is not an aspect of my person-ality, however, but rather what I felt that I was elected to do on behalf of the voters of Langley Township.

RICK GREEN,LANGLEY

A CN container train passes beneath the Mufford Overpass. The complex history of the project wasn’t mentioned at the offi cial opening on Sept. 4, so reader T. Braaten has outlined just how the current overpass came to be in a letter to the editor.


RICK GREEN


Dave Stark is seeking elec-tion as a councillor on Langley Township council.

He has a varied background, working with municipal gov-ernment, running his own businesses, working with non-profi ts and with communi-ty schools.

The common theme has been building relationships and put-ting “people fi rst,” he said.

“The foundation of my belief system and platform is based upon people, relationships, and community. I believe that these are the necessary bricks that must support how the mayor and council deal with the vast majority of issues that impact all of our unique communities.

“Sadly, many of these bricks have crumbled, and the rela-tionship between our politi-cians and residents has be-come dysfunctional. Multi-term councillors are feeling more en-titled, and closer to developers, while residents are losing trust. This has been demonstrated by the push-back in communities like Brookswood, Willoughby,

and Fort Langley, as well as the number of lawsuits brought against the Town-ship by individuals and groups.”

Stark said issues before council re-quire engaging, respecting, and listening to peo-ple. He said he will make himself available to citi-zens seven days a week, if elected.

He cited his back-ground in community building and developing relationships between people, organiza-tions, business, and various levels of government. Locally, he founded the fi rst chamber model ever in B.C. for the large non-profi t sector here in Lang-ley.

Stark comes from a farming and fi shing background, and currently runs a small hobby farm in Glen Valley. He formerly served as food security co-or-dinator for Langley, and is cur-rently a director with the Lang-

ley Horse and Farm Federation.

Stark said that, if elected, he will vote against any motion to take land from the Agricultural Land Reserve. He also pledges not to take any campaign contributions from developers.

He also backs creation of a social planning agenda for the Township; greater discussion

with the school district on pop-ulation increases and schools and building the capacity of the parks, recreation and culture system.

Stark ran for Langley Town-ship council in 2011, and fi n-ished 13th in a fi eld of 27 candi-dates, garnering 4,220 votes.

He welcomes phone calls from people interested in learn-ing more, and can be reached at 604-807-0306.

More detail about his plat-form is available at www.dave-stark.ca.

Whatever cease-fi re emerges from the lat-est round in the war for control of B.C.’s public school system, the next court battle is ready to proceed.

Lawyers for the pro-vincial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Fed-eration have fi led their written submissions to the B.C. Court of Appeal. At issue is whether legislation removing union contract terms that dictated class size and teacher staff levels was a viola-tion of members’ constitutional rights to freedom of associa-tion.

When B.C. Supreme Court jus-tice Susan Griffi n found that it was, the government changed legislation again. The same judge ordered that struck down and the 2002 contract language reinstated retroactively for ev-ery contract since then, im-posed or negotiated.

The government says that would create chaos as well as billions in expenses, pushing out full-day kindergarten and other allocations of space and money that have proceeded since union control was re-moved.

Griffi n’s order is stayed pending this appeal. If you think the latest strike has been disruptive, you don’t want to see what this judge’s vision would look like.

Government lawyers argue that the BCTF’s constitutional right claim is “wrong in law” and amounts to a veto that blocks the province’s ability to legislate in response to chang-ing conditions.

“According to the BCTF, legis-lation may improve on collec-tive agreement entitlements but cannot remove them over

the objections of the union without vio-lating [the Charter of Rights and Freedoms],” the government’s sub-mission says. “On the BCTF’s theory, collec-tive agreement entitle-ments become consti-tutionally protected in perpetuity.”

What that would mean to voters is when

they throw out an NDP govern-ment that handed the keys to the treasury to public sector unions, the unions can veto that too. And when mandated minimum teacher-librarians sitting in rooms full of paper books become the equivalent of buggy whip weavers, they must remain as long as the union wants.

BCTF’s lawyers submit that the government is wrong in fact as well as law. Its arguments are technical, dwelling particularly on the fact that the government didn’t appeal Griffi n’s fi rst rul-ing.

For instance, there have actu-ally been two negotiated deals since 2002. The one in 2006 pro-vided fi ve years of raises and a bonus to get the government past the 2010 Olympics, and in 2012 there was a pre-election truce negotiated with the help

of mediator Charles Jago.The government argues that

re-imposing 2002 conditions would overturn other contracts that were agreed to by the BCTF. BCTF’s lawyers say, in effect, the deleted terms covering working conditions weren’t there to ne-gotiate.

The Coalition of B.C. Busi-nesses has entered the case as an intervener, arguing for the supremacy of elected govern-ments when providing public services.

Its submission notes that un-like private disputes, the right to strike is often curtailed in the public sector, and sometimes eliminated as in the case of po-lice and health care.

“When critical aspects of public policy are jeopardized by employee demands, those aspects could be legislated; where a fi scal downturn or in-fl ationary pressures required austerity measures, they could be implemented through legis-lation; where strikes jeopardize important public services, the

legislature could pass back-to-work legislation, and so on.”

It’s been obvious for many years that the BCTF doesn’t function like a normal union, and isn’t much interested in starting to do so.

Its leadership sees itself as an agent of “social justice,” a belief demonstrated by its promotion of fl awed pover-ty statistics and pronounce-ments on everything from U.S. labour law to confl ict in

the Middle East. Its decades-old instruction to

government is blunt: raise taxes and give us the money.

BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

One of Langley’s musical pioneers has died.Leonard Woods, co-founder of the Langley Com-

munity Music School, passed away on Sept. 6.He was 94.Mr. Woods’ love of the arts was instilled during a

childhood spent on a Manitoba farm.Despite the fact his family was not particularly

well off, said Mr. Woods, during an interview in 2001, his father insisted that he and his siblings at-tend each and every exhibition or production that made its way to Winnipeg.

Before moving west, Mr. Woods studied at the Winnipeg School of Art. During that time, he was a pupil of Lemoine Fitzgerald, the only prairie repre-sentative of Canada’s famed Group of Seven.

Later, he turned his hand to sculpture, studying under Emanuel Hahn in Ontario before moving to British Columbia to re-open the sculpture depart-ment at the Vancouver School of Art — a position which he held until 1954.

Mr. Woods also served as the institution’s art his-torian until 1969.

It was that same year that, working alongside Marilyn and Keith Lamont, Peter Ewart and Linda Bickerton-Ross, Mr. Woods helped to create LCMS — developing it as a place where teachers and stu-dents could work together to benefi t from an ex-change of ideas, experience and musical ability.

A true artist, he was a sculptor, musician, com-poser, teacher, poet and even an author — having published a book of essays refl ecting on the paint-ings of his good friend, Langley artist Carl Hessay, in 2005.

“He had a great mind,” said Mr. Woods’ good friend of 22 years, George Le Francois.

LCMS principal Susan Magnusson, who remem-bers Mr. Woods as “a good friend to the school,” agrees.

His eye for architectural beauty was well respect-ed. When the new LCMS opened in City Park in 2001, Magnusson was thrilled with his reaction to the building’s design — which was intended to unite the indoor space with the beauty of the sur-rounding park in which it sits.

“One of the kindest and most memorable things Leonard said to me when we opened the school (was) . . . ‘Oh, my. It just embraces you the minute you arrive,’” said Magnusson.

“I had many discussions with Leonard about the importance of community within the school,” she said.

“Rather than be a conservatory or an academy, it was very important to him to serve the communi-ty and (for the school) to be a community within itself.”

Just as he was encouraged during his own youth

to embrace the arts, Mr. Woods believed it was im-portant that the same opportunities be given to young people today.

Speaking to The Times shortly before the music school was set to open 13 years ago, he said: “I feel we should enrich our school with fi ne art so young people will be surrounded by beautiful things.

“There are hundreds of young people who’ve never seen an original piece of art,” he said at the time.

“They’re not to blame. There have been none around.”

In that spirit, Mr. Woods donated a number of the pieces of art which are on display in the building.

“He was unique,” said Magnusson.“He wanted to ensure (LCMS) was a place where

music was taught and art could be appreciated.”A memorial service for Mr. Woods will take place

Fall has offi cially arrived, which means it’s time to swap lazy days at the beach and sun-dresses for crisp autumn air and cozy sweat-ers.

While it can be tough to bid farewell to the dog days of summer, autumn represents new beginnings — whether it’s the start of a new school year or a fabulous new fall wardrobe.

Over at the Langley Fashion Addition 14 Plus, located at Langley Crossing, one will fi nd every-thing they need for a fashion-forward fall — high quality pieces designed with the cur-vaceous lady in mind.

Catering to sizes 14 and up, the go-to store for the stylish full-fi gured woman, features a wide range of high-fashion brands from designers, such as: UBU, Frank Lyman, Karen Kane, Eileen Fisher, Jones New York, Spanner, Sympli, Neon Buddha, Simon Chang, Louben, Lana Lee and Conrad C — many are even designed and manufactured here in Canada — a conscious de-cision for Fashion Addition owners Bill and Marilyn Booth.

It was 27 years ago when the Booths set out to fi ll a large void in the plus-sized fashion

industry.Today, the Langley couple and proud own-

ers have six thriving stores scattered acrossB.C. and Alberta, proving that a plus-size fashion evolution can in fact happened whenstrong ideas and determination are at thehelm.

“As far as Canadian product and manufac-turing, I am always a proud Canadian, loving

the idea that we support ourown garment industry andkeep our Canadian FashionDesigners creating amazing full-fi gured fashions,” saidMarilyn.

With competitive pricesand seasonal sales events,there’s always something new to discover — this sea-son is no exception.

And, let’s be honest, who isn’t looking forward to leather boots and soft cash-mere?

“This fall is all about lux-urious fabrics, faux leatherand fun, playful embellish-

ments,” noted Marilyn, who also notes thatleggings are as popular as ever.

“Also, this season is UBU’s collection ofruched legging made from soft bamboo. The

You’ll fi nd something

year-round for a range of

occasions, whether you’re looking for something

appropriate for business, pleasure, sport or a casual day out at the pumpkin patch.

There’s no limit to the available styles ei-ther — from blazers, jeans and winter jackets to blouses, casual T’s and more.

“You’ll fi nd something year-round for a range of occasions, whether you’re looking for something appropriate for business, plea-sure, sport or a casual day out at the pump-kin patch,” said Marilyn.

“Our range of outfi ts and accessories are ideal for women’s entire wardrobes.”

She notes that it’s amazing to see how many fashion designers have come onboard in re-cent years to offer a selection of attire for full-fi gured women .

“It was once an overlooked segment of the fashion industry,” said Marilyn.

“Thankfully, plus-sizes are now mainstream and celebrated. Unique events such as the Full-Figure Fashion Week in New York are tailored to the plus-size fashion community, reinforcing that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.”

Celebrating real women with “real curves” will always be a key component to Fashion Addition 14 Plus’s philosophy.

With a full range of styles and colour op-tions available, the sales team continue to strive to make the shopping experience a

positive one that celebrates the unique beau-ty of each woman who comes into the store.

“ Having curves and dressing them in styleis not only fun, but can offer an exhilarat-ing and rewarding result — nowadays, there are endless options and choices to fl atter allfi gures,” said Marilyn, noting that her teamare always happy to help clients look and feelfabulous.

“This is one of the most important focus areas for the Fashion Addition 14 Plus sales team: understanding current fashion trends, the range and fl exibility of different fabrics aswell as being able to assess a good fi t for ourclients. After all, it’s all about making surethe clients not only fi nds what she’s lookingfor, but has a great experience while doing it.”

For anyone who hasn’t been into the Lang-ley location, store manager Cindy and her team encourage them to swing by the store at 308 - 6339 200 St.

“We are equally excited to meet all thosenew clients— come in for a visit, let us showyou around, our door is always open.”

Fall is a time of transition. A new season begins, the fall colours start to arrive and it’s time to consider what you want your garden to look like next year.

“Fall is a great time to prune your shrubs and trees,” says Jeremy Miller, owner of Houston Landscapes. “You can rejuvenate your beds with manure, mulch and soil. It’s a good time for planting, potting and soil amendment.”

Soil amendment is something added to soil to improve an element of it, such as drainage or water retention. You want to ensure that your soil will keep your plants fertilized and healthy throughout the winter.

Fall is not usually the time for blooming flowers, but it is certainly the time for gorgeous foliage.

“Enjoy the fall leaves; they’ll be beautiful,” says Miller. “It’s also a time to look at what you want in your yard.

If you’re looking out the window now and you want to see those beautiful red leaves, now is the time to engage

with a landscape designer to discuss what you can do for next year.”

Fall is the perfect time to plant larger trees and shrubs, as the increased moisture in the soil will contribute to a better growing environment for them.

“There are a number of large trees that aren’t even available in the summer,” Miller says. “You can bulk up your garden in the fall.”

Those fallen leaves also make for great mulch for your garden.

“Rake up all of those leaves and put them on the garden beds,” Miller says.

Winter vegetables such as kale and cauliflower are great things to plant now in preparation for the colder months.

Herbs like sage and thyme are also good things to start planting in the fall. If you want to grow something from seeds, try carrots, lettuce or radishes.

Now is also the time to plant bulbs to flower next year. Your local nursery will have plenty of options, from easy-to-grow varieties that even the

worst gardener will be able to handle to flowers more suited to experienced green thumbs. Bulbs that you can plant right now include tulips, daffodils and hyacinths, among many others.

However, you don’t necessarily have to wait until spring to see some blooms.

Miller notes that winter pansies, for example, are able to withstand the colder weather, as their name states. Other potted plants that can create visual interest for fall include autumn crocuses and mums.

Fall is also the time to plan ahead for when spring and summer return.

If you spent the summer outside thinking about new paving stones or raised garden beds, start putting those plans into effect.

“Now is the time to plan out projects for next year,” Miller says.

“Don’t wait until next summer when contractors are... busy; plan your larger yard renovations now because reputable contractors will be planning their 2015 contracts now.”

Fall is a good time to do some pruning and maintenance of your trees and shrubs, in preparation for next year’s growing season. PHOTOS SUPPLIED BY HOUSTON LANDSCAPES

After a few months of blue skies and warm temperatures, summer revelers will soon bid adieu to the sultry days of this beloved season. Summer is often a season filled with vacations and recreation, but as the warm days dwindle and work and school commitments begin anew, there is additional work to be done in preparation for the months ahead.

Stock up on pool equipment. Homeowners who have pools can take advantage of end-of-season sales to purchase a few more gallons of pool chlorine or other pool equipment. Store them after you have winterized the pool, and you will be ahead of the game in terms of supplies for next year.

Clean patios and furniture. Scrub and hose down outdoor furniture, cushions and living areas. Clean and dry items before storing them for the winter, so everything is ready to go when the warm weather returns next year.

Check the heating system. Although turning on the heat may be the last thing you’re thinking about, it’s a good idea to test it and, if necessary, have the system serviced prior to the arrival of cold weather.

Tend to the deck and other repairs. Make repairs to outdoor structures now, and they’ll be more likely to survive the harsh weather that’s just over the horizon. Apply stain or sealant to further protect wood structures in advance of snow and ice.

Examine the roof and chimney. Winter is a poor time to learn you have missing roof shingles or a leak. Furthermore, ensure the chimney and venting to the outdoors is not obstructed by abandoned animal nests.

Check your closets. Go through clothing and remove any items that are damaged or no longer fit, donating them if possible. Clean out kids’ closets as well, as pants that fit perfectly in May will not necessarily fit come September.

Stock the shed. Once the weather has cooled down, move outdoor flower pots, hoses and lawn ornaments you no longer need into the shed or garage while ensuring items needed in fall and winter, such as rakes, snow shovels and snowblowers, are more accessible.

GVHBA to hold Fall Home Renovation Show next monthBy Kerry Vital

If renovations are on your to-do list, you can’t miss the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Fall Home Renovation Show on Saturday Oct. 4 and Sunday Oct. 5 at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver Th eatre in Coquitlam.

Presented in partnership with the Better Business Bureau, the free show will focus on professional renovation informa-tion and education. Th e collaboration between the GVHBA and BBB aims to bring homeowners the largest one-stop source of Vancouver’s top professional builders and renova-tors. Th e show is completely devoted to renovations, and the popular Ask a Pro booth will be onsite and providing compli-mentary 30-minute one-on-one consultations to homeowners

looking for assistance. Th e consultations are fi rst come, fi rst serve and signup will take place at the show.

Free 20-minute seminars are also scheduled throughout the show, covering topics such as Kitchen Design Trends, Reno-vating versus New Build, Heritage Renovations and Designing for Small Spaces, among many others. A full list of seminar topics and schedules will be posted online.

“Advanced planning and working with experienced profes-sionals will be your best protection,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Considering you are renovating one of your greatest investments, your home, it makes sense to only work with the pros.”

De Wit notes that Metro Vancouver homeowners will spend about $3.8 billion renovating their homes this year, making it extremely important to hire a professional RenoMark renova-

tor.“Th e RenoMark designation assures consumers that the

renovator they are dealing with has completed industry-leading education requirements and are part of a professional network apprised of the latest technologies and designs,” says de Wit. “As well, all RenoMark holders have committed themselves to a code of business ethics and off er warranties on the work they do, off ering peace of mind to home owners that RenoMark professionals stand behind the work they do.”

Th e event is free, but pre-registration is encouraged and at-tendees are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. For more information and to register, visit www.gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288. Th e show will take place between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Oct. 4, and 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Oct. 5.

Vancouver’s Shaughnessy neighbourhood is full of heritage-style homes nestled in lush greenery. Many of the homes take their inspiration from the history of the area, and one of Ter-agon Developments and Construction’s recent renovations is no exception. Th e home, which blends Tudor architecture with Art Deco, also off ers modern amenities that no one would have imagined when the original home was built in 1928.

“Th is was an intense renovation,” says Lars Van Linge, president of Teragon Developments, adding that it took place over two and a half years, and includes an entirely new foundation for the home to allow for an increase in ceiling height and usable space.

Th e original home was the same size as the fi nished product (approximately 10,000 square feet), but was old and out of date. Th e family of four brought in Van Linge and his team to build a home that can truly be considered a luxury estate. Now known as Th e Mayfair, the home is seriously stunning. Th e curb appeal is incredible, with leaded windows, wood beams, brickwork and a travertine and natural stone walkway. Tudor arches are featured throughout,

including on the ceilings, fi replaces, doors and room entrances.“Th e homeowner generally left it to the designers and us,” Van Linge says. Teragon worked

with architect Stefan Weidemann to design the four-level home, which also features a three-car garage, botanical garden, a pool-side cabana and a private putting green, among other ameni-ties. A wood-fi red pizza oven is just one feature of the outdoor kitchen.

Inside, the home is one of the most technologically advanced in North America. In fact, it won an award for Best Overall Integrated Home from the Custom Electronic Design & Instal-lation Association (CEDIA).

“Th is home has everything,” says Van Linge. “It can be controlled anywhere in the world.”Integrated audio and visual systems are throughout, including outdoors. Th e lighting for

inside and outside the house is so state-of-the-art that it required its own architect.“We installed very advanced lighting for the owner’s art collection,” Van Linge says. “His col-

lection is worth about $4 million; he has original works by Emily Carr, for example.”To protect the artwork, the home has a built-in humidifi cation system that will keep every-

thing at the optimal temperature, along with multi-zone climate control.You enter through the formal entry on the main level, with its formal living room, study,

formal dining room, kitchen and casual dining room and living room. Th ere you have access to the outdoor dining terrace and covered lounge.

West Coast luxury by Teragon DevelopmentsA two-and-a-half-year renovation updated the home from 1928 with technology and features that would have never been imaginable when the house was originally built.

The Mayfair, a luxury home renovated by Teragon Developments and Construction, is located in Vancouver’s historic Shaughnessy neighbourhood. The renovation took two and a half years from start to fi nish, and includes an entirely new foundation, state-of-the art technology and plenty of beautiful features.

Th e level above is a private haven with three bedrooms. Th e master bedroom has its own dressing room and luxurious ensuite.

Th e top level has another bedroom, as well as a sitting room, library, play room and laundry room.

Teragon also expanded the basement of the home, from half crawl space and half basement to a basement with 10-foot ceilings throughout. Th at basement now holds a games room, home theatre, wine cellar and gym, making the home an entertainer’s paradise.

Th e home has plenty of heritage-style touches, such as walnut panelling and fl ooring laid in a herringbone pattern. Th e bronzed railing on the sweeping staircase was inspired by an art noveau railing from Brussels, Belgium, and was hand-forged. Custom millwork, fi ve fi replaces, custom stained glass and natural stone elements are just a few of the other luxuri-ous aspects of Th e Mayfair.

Van Linge himself is a journeyman carpenter, noting that he enjoys bringing those old-fashioned elements to his work.

“Something that sets us apart is our eye for detail,” he says. “You can’t execute these kinds of ideas without being able to see the (small) details.”

Th e renovations were completed last year and the owner has since sold the home, but Van Linge and his team are still involved with the new owners, assisting them with the opera-tions of the house.

“We’re still working with them to maintain and service the exterior paint and the HVAC system, for example,” says Van Linge.

Make your renovation wish list affordable with rebates

It was Saturday morning, and my husband and I were ready to tackle various home renovation projects. We walked around our charming, 1903 Vancouver home and wrote down all of the areas that need-ed work. We decided on practical upgrades that would make the home healthier and more comfortable to live in including insu-lation in our attic and those upgrades that would create a more modern, aes-thetically pleasing, and user-friendly home such as a new fi replace.

Next, we fi nalized our list of home upgrades that we wanted to complete. Unfortunately, we encoun-tered a rather large hiccup – we had a tight budget of $X, and a wish list total of $X x 10.

Does this scenario sound familiar? Deciding on what upgrades are the priority is often one of the most diffi cult decisions to make when

starting home renovations, especial-ly when there is a budget to work within.

A recommended strategy was to fi rst focus on the areas that would make our home healthier and more comfortable to live in, such as draftproofi ng and ventilation. Th ese

upgrades could also make the home more energy effi cient, and save us a considerable amount of money year after year in home energy expenses. For example, heat-

ing accounts for approximately 50 per cent of an average household’s energy consumption. Th erefore, any upgrades to our home’s insulation and building envelope could reduce our heating bills. As well, an ENER-GY STAR® bathroom fan not only helps to maintain proper humidity and air quality, but also uses less than half the energy of a regular fan. Additionally, high and mid-effi ciency

gas furnaces use about 60 to 90 per cent less energy by turning down the heat when not needed. Overall, a home that has an EnerGuide rating of 80 or higher, which indicates that it is an energy effi cient Power Smart home, uses up to 30 per cent less energy than an average home on the market.

If you are thinking about moving forward on some home upgrades of your own and need an incentive to get started, here you go - complete your upgrades before March 31, 2015, and you can apply for rebates

that are available through the BC Hy-dro Power Smart and FortisBC Home Energy Rebate Off er. Some of the re-bates available include up to $3,250 insulation upgrades, up to $500 for draftproofi ng upgrades, and $800 for a ductless heat pump. Th ere are also rebates for EnerChoice fi replaces and gas hot water heaters. For more information on the Home Energy Rebate Off er, visit bchydro.com/homerebates or fortisbc.com/homerebates. Alternatively, you can email [email protected] or call 1 877 740 0055.

Many steps are involved in a successful home remodeling project. Consult with a homeowners’ insurance agent before beginning a major home overhaul. The right amount of coverage will protect your assets both during construction and afterward when your home is worth more.

Many insurance companies require you to insure your home for at least 80 percent of its replacement value. If you have added an extension or installed an in ground pool, you may

have raised the value of your property enough to necessitate an insurance policy change.

While many contractors have business and general liability insurance to protect themselves if a worker is injured, homeowners may need sufficient liability protection in the event a non-contractor gets hurt working on your home.

Keep all receipts and document the progress of the renovation. You may need this information to present to your insurance carrier after the renovation is complete.

This way you can request a new appraisal of the property and secure adequate insurance coverage.

Certain improvements may make you eligible for discounts. For example, a new heating system, energy efficient appliances or an alarm system may qualify you for rebates or lower premiums.

It is essential to consider insurance needs before you begin work and when the project has been completed and the value of the home has increased.

Among the more than 3,800 athletes taking part in the opening cer-emonies for the B.C. Seniors Games, there were three athletes who competed 27 years ago at the very fi rst Games.

“Talk about inspiring,” said Coralee Oakes, the minister of community, sport and cultural de-velopment.

She was speaking at the Langley Events Cen-tre last week (Sept. 10), site of the opening cere-monies for the 2014 B.C. Seniors Games, which are being hosted by Langley.

The fi rst Games drew 650 athletes, while a record-number of ath-letes will go for the gold in Langley.

“You are all champi-ons of health, fi tness and community en-gagement.”

The Games began ear-lier that day and ran un-til Saturday afternoon.

The torch was brought in by Langley Christian student Nicholas Colyn, an accomplished track and fi eld athlete.

Colyn handed the torch to Oakes and Langley’s David Eswor-thy, a member of the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame

and renowned fi gure in equestrian circles, not just locally, but interna-tionally.

The athletes were welcomed by Kwantlen First Nations’ Kevin Kel-ly, as well as his 17-year-old son Michael,

“Age is just a number and an active lifestyle knows no boundaries,” said Township Mayor Jack Froese.

“I can’t tell you how amazed I am at all the athletes,” said Ted Schaffer, the Acting Mayor for the CIty. “They put me to shame.”

The Games could not

be possible without the work of the nearly 1,400 volunteers.

“I did the math. These people have worked tens of thousands of hours to put these Games together,” said Milt Kruger, the presi-dent of the 2014 B.C. Se-niors Games.

“(Volunteers) get two things: a shirt, which is worth $6 and your ap-preciation, and that is priceless.”

“Each year I am to-tally impressed, proud and amazed at the vol-unteers that are part of producing the Games,”

added June Parsons, the president of the B.C. Se-niors Games society.

The entertainment for the opening ceremonies was organized by Susan Magnusson.

The evening fea-tured the music of the Bergmann Piano Duo — Marcel and Elizabeth Bergmann — and they were joined on stage by Dominik Heins.

The evening also fea-tured the Langley Uku-lele Ensemble and the Jitterbug Junkies, as well as some comedy.

Delay dementia—could hearing aids be the answer?Seniors who have untreated hearing loss may be at an increased risk for developing dementia, a loss of brain function that can affect memory, thinking,

of a study conducted by researchers from the Division of Otology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

The study included 639 people whose hearing and

cognitive abilities were tested over a period of time, starting in 1990 and concluding in 2008. Researchers found that study participants who had hearing loss at

likely to develop dementia by the end of the study. How might hearing loss and dementia be connected? Investigators aren’t sure, but they think a common pathology may underlie both conditions, or possibly

the strain of decoding sounds over the years may overwhelm the brains of people with hearing loss, leaving them more vulnerable to dementia.

The article concludes that, whatever the cause, these

as to whether interventions, even as simple as hearing aids, could delay or prevent dementia by improving patients’ hearing.

Are your Ears Ringing?Do you have music in your ears?

How about church bells ringing? Bee’s buzzing around in there?

If your answer is “Yes” then you may have Tinnitus and it is time to have your hearing assessed. Tin-nitus (pronounced tih-NITE-us) is a ringing, buzzing, roaring, ticking, hissing, clicking or any other variety of sound heard by the individual, but not cause by an outside source. Tin-nitus can occur after taking certain over the counter medications, being a loud concert or sitting through an exciting hockey game (Sorry hockey fans)!! According to the American Tinnitus Association there are over 50 million people that suffer from tinnitus.

How loud can tinnitus be you ask? Well that depends on several factors including stress, diet and noise ex-posure. Tinnitus, like chronic pain, is subjective. Similar characteristics may be reported yet individuals who suffer from tinnitus may be affected in a completely different manner. Many people who suffer from tinni-tus report having diffi culty sleeping, concentrating, hearing and many re-port various degrees of depression.

So what causes tinnitus? The American Tinnitus Association re-ports that the exact physiological cause or causes of tinnitus are not known. Well that’s not really helpful is it!! Although anyone can get tin-nitus, what we do know is that there are several sources that are known to trigger and possibly worsen tinnitus – one of the main culprits is age-re-lated hearing loss.

What do you do now? According to the Better Hearing Institute your fi rst step is getting your hearing thor-oughly evaluated to determine if a hearing loss is present. This will give us ideas in determining how to treat the tinnitus appropriately and what will be the most effective solution to your individual needs. Since tinnitus can be associated with a number of auditory conditions the hearing as-sessment can provide you with ex-tensive information.

The Aug. 11 suicide of comedian Robin Williams left fans across the world in a state of shock.

If someone as successful and be-loved as the legendary funny man found life too much to bear, where did that leave the rest of us?

But a Langley man is hoping that by fi lling a theatre with laughter, others will be able to fi nd the support they need.

The Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley at the Langley Fine Arts School presents a night of comedy in support of Suicide Prevention, Educa-tion and Counselling (SPEAC).

Created by the theatre’s manager, Kevin Statham, “LOL For Life” will feature some of Vancouver’s funniest comedians, including Patrick Maliha, Sunee Dhaliwal, John Beuhler, Jamie Hutchinson, Kwasi Thomas, and Ka-tie-Ellen Humphries.

“I just knew I needed to contribute in some way,” said Statham.

“When Robin Williams passed away a few weeks ago, I saw a lot of people voicing their sadness through social media. I did that as well, but I want-ed to do something more than post a photo on Facebook with a sad emot-icon.

“In that moment, I decided to create something that will hopefully have a positive effect on a local level.”

The Suicide Prevention Education and Counselling (SPEAC) program

is a program of Options Communi-ty Services — a large multi-service non-profi t organization based in Sur-rey, which serves Surrey, White Rock, and Langley children and youth.

The SPEAC program provides sui-cide risk assessment, urgent re-sponse, and short-term counselling for children and youth.

“We are very thankful to be involved in this event,” SPEAC’s senior program manager, Nancy Orlikow.

“It helps to promote and spread awareness of the signifi cant need for more resources for our children and youth in our communities who are affected by or are at risk for suicide.

“It is very important that people un-derstand the scope of the need, but also that prevention of suicide is en-tirely possible and that programs like ours do save lives.”

“LOL for Life takes place on Friday, Sept. 26 at 8 p.m.

Tickets are on sale for $20 at north-erntickets.com. They will also be available at the door. Proceeds will go to SPEAC.

Advance tickets are available on-line at northerntickets.com or at the venue the night of the performance. Chief Sepass Theatre is located at 9096 Trattle St.

“LOL For Life” will take place on Fri-day, Sept. 26 at 8 p.m. For more infor-mation on SPEAC, visit www.options.bc.ca.

The Langley Centennial Museum’s newest exhibit, Mementos & Memories: Langley & the Second World War tells the story of the War through the experiences of Langley people.

Through artifacts and fi rsthand accounts of service overseas and service on the home front, the exhibit tackles subjects such as fundraising efforts at home, enlistment, and internment.

The museum’s Mementos & Memories opened on Aug. 17 and runs until Remem-

brance Day, Nov. 11, at 9135 King St. in Fort Langley.

Using newspaper clippings and quotes from the museum’s oral history collection, the exhibit shows how Langley people were coping and adapting to the day-to-day struggles of wartime by salvaging, rationing, and fundraising.

Highlights of the exhibit include a soldier doll that was given to Elsie Gunter by her uncle Clarence Vaughan, a wedding dress worn by Gertrude Barton of Brookswood,

and the scrapbook of Fort Langley’s Fritz Ziegler, which includes mementos of his in-ternment.

Red Cross-issued knitting instructions that belonged to Margaret Sophia Johnson of Willoughby and Private Richard Straw’s great coat and medals are also on display.

Visitors to the exhibit are encouraged to bring a copy of a wartime photo of family members from to share on the Board of Re-membrance.

Because of the relevant subject matter,

this exhibit will be open on the afternoon of Nov. 11 so that the public can visit follow-ing Remembrance Day ceremonies at local cenotaphs.

The museum is hosting a special event in connection to this exhibit called “Until Everyone Comes Home: Variety Show & Vi-gnettes of the Second World War” on Sun-day, Nov. 1 from 2 p.m. 4 p.m. at the Chief Seapass Theatre. For tickets or info, contact the Langley Centennial Museum at 604-532-3536 or visit museum.tol.ca.

BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

It’s a pleasantly bucolic, but otherwise unremarkable, property comprised of a few single-storey buildings scattered about a small Willoughby acreage.

With two houses — as well as some offi ce and therapy space — surrounded by small fl ower gardens, lawns and trees, there is nothing to identify Connect as anything but a residential property to the casual passerby. Nothing to indicate that the site has, for the past two decades, been home to one of two brain injury rehabilitation centres of its kind in B.C.

And that, says its president and COO, Patti Flaherty, is entirely the point.

Connect Langley is actually comprised of fi ve houses. Two are located on the same Willoughby property as its administrative offi ces, another sits just a few blocks away and there are two more toward the south end of town, with a total of 29 bedrooms available for people recovering from trau-matic brain injuries and strokes.

A second location, which opened fi ve years ago at a single location in Lake Coun-try in the Okanagan, meanwhile, is made up of townhouse-style residences, with space for 42 people.

What both properties have in common is that they are designed to function as much like typical homes — and as little like a hospital — as possible for the people who reside in them during their recovery.

Built around community and relation-ships, Connect “is not the typical rehab en-vironment,” said Flaherty. But it is fi lling an important gap, she added.

“There is a lack of services and supports in B.C. to help (people with brain injury) be in the world, contribute to the community and have awesome lives.”

Connect’s team of ‘coaches’ helps resi-dents focus on their passions, strengths and abilities, and to design a new life around these attributes.

Acquired brain injury is the biggest dis-

abler of British Columbians under 45 years old, according to Connect. And with so many years often still ahead, it’s vital that as much quality of life is regained as pos-sible.

“People with brain injury and strokes often lose relationships — they’re lonely. We wanted to create a model that prevents that from happening,” Flaherty said.

And for that, she added, self-reliance is key, because the sur-roundings in which a person recovers will likely defi ne the rest of their life.

Neuroplasticity — in simple terms, the brain’s ability to rewire itself after an injury — can work for or against a person, depend-ing on their environment, said Flaherty.

For that reason, she explained, it’s im-portant to provide a place that is both stimulating and challenging.

“Living in long-term care works against you — you become institutionalized,” she said.

“(Connect is) about people owning their own stuff — not relying on the system to look after them.”

On Friday, Sept. 19, Connect will offi cially celebrate 20 years of helping people with acquired brain injury, as well as those who have suffered strokes, to re-design their lives as they recover, rather than try to re-create the life they once had.

“We do things that make sense for the individual versus what makes sense for the system.

“Everyone’s experience is different,” said Flaherty.

Physical coach, David Dalley has been with Connect since July. He’s had no trou-ble adjusting to the care model.

“I made the switch a long time ago,” he

said. “Maybe I didn’t fi t in so well in the other environment.

“Part of what I try to do as a coach is fi g-ure out what gives people meaning,” he said.

That includes entering any situation open to the idea he might be guided some-

where unexpected, and steering conversa-tions toward strengths versus defi ciencies.

“What are your in-terests? What are you good at? What would you like to continue doing?”

For Chilliwack’s John Kendrick, one answer to those questions is simply being outdoors. Prior to suffering a stroke 15 months ago,

he liked to swim and ride his bicycle. And, working with Dalley, it is these ac-

tivities that Kendrick hopes to one day re-sume.

Connect is the third rehabilitation cen-tre that Kendrick has been in. At each, he received treatment to help him regain both his speech and the lost mobility in his right side. But he said he has made the quickest and most notable progress since arriving at Connect.

He welcomes the opportunity for a more self-guided recovery.

“You get to do what you want,” he said.While the facilities where Kendrick be-

gan his rehabilitation were more like hospitals, he now lives in one of the Wil-loughby houses with a group of other men. Helped by an independence coach, the res-idents share a kitchen and other common living areas, but can seek privacy in their bedrooms, surrounded by their own pos-sessions.

Regular outings to restaurants, movies, a pub or even a walking track offer resi-dents the ability to continue taking part in

the everyday activities they enjoyed before their injury or stroke.

Since the ultimate goal of Connect is to prepare people to live in the community — either on their own or with some level of support — rather than end up being, for all intents and purposes, ‘warehoused’ in long-term care, it is a model that will save money in the long run, noted Flaherty.

A private company, Connect receives much of its funding through agencies such as Fraser Health Authority and WorkSafe B.C.

The Okanagan location of Connect re-cently signed a 20-year contract with the Interior Health Authority which has al-lowed to hire a full complement of coach-ing staff.

Flaherty would like to see a similar ar-rangement made with Fraser Health at the Langley location, which currently works, for the most part, on a case-by-case basis with FHA.

There is “defi nitely a need” to expand, she said.

According to information gathered by Connect, an estimated 22,000 British Co-lumbians acquire brain injuries each year and as many as 160,000 people live with the impact of brain injury at any time in the province.

On Sept. 19, Connect will celebrate 20 years in Langley — as well as its fi ve years in Lake Country — with a garden party and luncheon at each location.

The two parties will connect via Skype for short speeches and to exchange a greeting. The event will run from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Everyone is invited to come out and learn more about the Connect model of care.

“We feel ethically obligated to share it because we know it’s the right thing to do,” said Flaherty. “It allows families to be fam-ilies, and not just caregivers.”

Roughly 87 per cent of BC house-holds have at least one obsolete

electronic item sitting around.

A s days grow shorter and nights grow colder, we’ll all be spending more time indoors.

It’s the perfect time to clean out the clutter and get rid of old unused items that are just sitting and collecting dust, such as old electronics. Research shows that roughly 87 per cent of BC households have at least one obsolete electronic item sitting around. A good idea is to try and get these electronic items reused by people who are in need of them. And if that option is exhausted, recycling these electronics is the next best option. The Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA) will recycle all those old unwanted electronics through the Return-It Electronics™ program, and they accept virtually all of your unwanted end-of-life electronics. From televisions, desktop and portable computers, gaming systems, electronic musical instruments and electronic toys such as remote control vehicles and handheld gaming devices, the 171 Return-It™ collection sites throughout BC will take these unwanted electronics for responsible recycling. Drop-off is free as an Environmental Handling Fee (EHF), which covers the cost of recycling, is applied on the sale of new electronic products.

materials in the manufacturing of new products. In this era of rapidly advancing technologies, people are upgrading and replacing electronics at an accelerated rate, with personal computers being replaced on average every two years, and businesses replacing desktop and mobile computers every three to four years. Using and enjoying all of these electronics today means that it is very important to ensure your old electronics stay out of the landfi ll for a cleaner tomorrow. The EPRA is a national non-profi t organization dedicated to responsible recycling of end-of-life electronics. In 2013, more than 23,000 tonnes of electronic waste were collected in BC, and since EPRA’s program began in 2007, over 110,000 metric tonnes of unwanted electronics have been recycled in BC. And, according to EPR Canada, BC has consistently received top ranking in their annual Canadian Report Card on Extended Producer Responsibility, whereby producers take a leadership role in managing the waste generated from their products. We can be proud in BC of our strong history of electronics recycling. The more we recycle, the more we can help the environment by reducing the amount of waste collecting in landfi lls. So take this opportunity, and drop off your old and unwanted electronics at your nearest Return-It collection site for recycling.

Record number compete at GamesFour days of action

came to a close on Saturday afternoon as the 2014 Langley B.C. Seniors Games wrapped up.

More than 3,800 ath-letes — a record num-ber — took part in the annual competition, which sees athletes ages 55 and up com-pete in 25 sports.

The Games would also not have been possible without the support of volunteers as close to 1,200 peo-

ple helped out over the course of the competition.

And the local ath-letes from Langley, Fort Langley and Al-dergrove helped their zone, Zone 3 Fraser

Valley, run away with the medal count title.

Zone 3 athletes won 231 gold, 222 silver and 168 bronze.

And their combined 621 medals were well ahead of the sec-

ond-place finishers, the Lower Mainland zone, which won 447 total medals.

petition — go to page 25 in the Living 60+ section of today’s Langley Times.

One night after scor-ing seven goals in victo-ry, the Langley Knights mustered just a pair their next time out, falling 7-2 to the Ridge Meadows Flames.

The Knights had opened the Pacifi c Ju-nior Hockey League season with a 7-4 win over the Mission City Outlaws on Sept. 11 at the George Preston Rec-

reation Centre.But on the road the

next night at Ma-ple Ridge’s Planet Ice, Langley’s offence went dry over the fi nal 40 minutes while the Flames scored once in the second and four more times in the third.

A big difference was the power play as Ridge Meadows went 5-for-9 while the Knights were

1-for-6.Levi De Waal and

Dylan McCann had the Langley goals.

De Waal also had two goals and an assist the game before in the vic-tory.

Colin Catchpole also had two goals and an assist in the game against the Outlaws.

The Knights are back in action on Thursday

as they host the Ab-botsford Pilots.

Game time is at 7:30 p.m. at the Preston Centre.

•••The Aldergrove Ko-

diaks are still looking for their fi rst victory of the season.

The Kodiaks lost 3-2 in overtime to the Ab-botsford Pilots on Sept. 10 and then skated to a 6-6 draw with the Mis-sion City Outlaws on Sept. 13.

Aldergrove had bal-anced scoring against Mission City as six players each chipped in with one goal. Eric Callagari had a pair of assists.

The Kodiaks host the Ridge Meadows Flames tomorrow (Sept. 17) at the Aldergrove Arena. Game time is 7:15 p.m.

Knights corral Outlaws, burned by Flames

Spartans remain unbeaten The Trinity Western Spartans

remembered to pack their of-fence with them.

The women’s soccer team was in Kamloops and Kelowna, scor-ing a combined eight goals as they picked up another pair of victories in Canada West confer-ence play.

The Spartans scored fi ve times in the second half to rout the UBC Okanagan Heat 5-1 on Sat-urday. They beat the Thompson Rivers WolfPack 3-1 the previous day.

Seina Kashima and Jessica King scored twice apiece against the Heat while Leanne Verhoeff had the other.

King, who also scored the game before, has now notched the win-ner in all three Spartan victories as the team improved to 3-0-1.

TWU coach Graham Roxburgh was pleased his team put behind a lackluster scoreless fi rst half to play to their capabilities.

“In the second half, we chal-lenged them to start fresh and I thought our response was excel-

lent,” he said.“Overall, I am pleased we came

away from the weekend with two wins. Vanessa Kovacs con-tinued to lead us in the midfi eld and Jess King continues on a roll.

“But there were some good contributions from a number of players who haven’t played as many minutes, so that was en-couraging.”

The only goal to elude Chris-tina Oliverio came off the foot of Courtney Hemmerling in the 78th minute, with the Spartans up 3-0. Oliverio fi nished with six saves.

Against the WolfPack, Kashima and King scored in the fi rst half and after Marlie Rittinger made it 2-1 in the 68th minute, Jenna Di Nunzio added an insurance marker seven minutes later.

Oliverio made two saves.•••The TWU Spartans men’s team

was on the same road trip, but without the same results.

The team played Thompson Rivers to a scoreless draw on Fri-

day and then lost 2-1 to the UBC Okanagan Heat the next night.

The Spartans are 1-2-1 on the season.

“The goal drought continues and the guys will be utterly dis-appointed with that result,” said Spartans coach Pat Rohla. “We thought we had a very good fi rst half of play, but we have to fi nd a way to put teams away early in the game.

“The guys left everything out on the fi eld tonight. I’m proud of the effort, but we’re still missing critical moment plays to either wins games or keep balls out of our net. Now, we need to get back on the horse and ride as fast as we can to the fi nish line.”

Kalem Scott had put TWU ahead 1-0 with a goal in the 30th minute, but the Heat’s Cole King-zett tied it up in fi rst half injury time and Jordan Leib scored the winner in the 55th minute.

Evan Lowther made fi ve saves in the loss. He also stopped all six shots the game before against the WolfPack.
