CITY BYELECTION 2016
Langley votes
George Roman4. Should more RCMP offi-
cers be hired, even if it means a tax increase?
Yes, if safety experts conclude this is the only way to improve safety. However, I will only increase taxes as an absolute last resort if no other funding sources or cost savings
measures are available. I believe police must change the way they patrol our communities and deploy their forces. Police must manage their resources
more efficiently, implement effective crime prevention poli-cies, have greater street pres-ence by assigning officers foot and bike patrols duties, direct more resources to hot spots of crime and encourage block watch programs.
Nathan Pachal5. Should the City do more
to improve security around the downtown?
Yes, the City of Langley must make this a priority. Not only by repairing damage from vandalism, eliminating graf-fiti quickly, and ensuring all garbage is removed from our
streets and parks in a timely fashion, but by also working to
make Langley’s Downtown a desirable destin-ation.
I’ve always sup-ported Downtown Langley mer-chants who have
worked hard to make the core an inviting destination through innovative programs, special events, and festivals with lim-ited resources. With the help of the City of Langley, these pro-grams can be expanded to make our core an inviting destination.
That is why I support an
arts centre. This would help address security concerns as the positive activity that surrounds such a facility has been proven to reduce crime and create a stronger community.
Serena Oh10. Do you believe Langley
City and Township should be amalgamated into one muni-cipality?
No. I believe homelessness issues must work with Township together.

The City’s only all-candidates meeting was Monday.MATTHEW [email protected]
The nine candidates vying for a single Langley City council seat met Monday in their only public debate before this Saturday’s vote.
Held at the Langley Seniors’ Resource Centre, the debate was focused on a few areas – homelessness, crime, city infrastructure, and seniors issues.
The candidates gave brief introductory speeches and then fielded questions from the crowd, which included a number of their potential future colleagues on City council.
Rae Maj talked of her sen-ior parents and how some people don’t feel safe in the City’s downtown at night.
Sharon Newbery men-tioned the issue of access for seniors, particularly those with mobility issues.
“People should not have to navigate around poles in the middle of the sidewalk,” Newbery said.
“I’m not a good speaker, but I’m a good doer,” said
Serena Oh. The former Township mayoral candi-date said she wanted to end “rental abuse” against seniors.
Former Township coun-cillors Carol Gran and Mel Kositsky were asked if they still supported amalgamat-ing with the Township.
“I think that ship has sailed a long time ago,” Gran said.
Kositsky said that he never supported amalgama-tion, and that he has fought against forced civic amal-gamations, saying that in other parts of the country they have not worked well.
On casino funds, all the candidates said they should not be used for day-to-day City expenses.
It doesn’t make sense to get dependent on the money, in case it dries up, said Shelley Coburn.
Nathan Pachal noted that along with infrastructure projects, the money is used for vital community grants.
Newbery noted that if casino revenues dropped, it would mean a tax hike to deal with the shortfall.
A question on seniors and parks brought out a number of ideas.
George Roman noted that there are not enough seniors on Langley City’s volunteer committees.
Kiernan Hillan said that when he was a manager with the City of Richmond, he was on the Slips, Trips, and Falls committee. It’s the
little things that need to be improved in infrastructure, Hillan noted.
Kositsky talked about more benches in parks. Pachal had specific concerns about the size of park paths and lighting, and suggested interpretative programs to bring more people to parks.
A number of questions touched on homelessness. Gran said her experience as a Kelowna councillor showed government-man-aged housing could help get people off the streets.
“I wouldn’t be the least bit concerned to have one right next door to me,” Gran said. She said once residents have a place to stay and bathe, and help with food and medication, they come out looking like everyone else.
Coburn said it is a compli-cated issue.
“There’s a lot of people who are homeless because that’s what they want,” she said.
Oh proposed renting prop-erties for shelters until long term solutions are found.
Voting for the single seat, opened when the late Coun. Dave Hall stepped down last year, is Saturday, Feb. 27, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Douglas Recreation Centre.
POLITICS
Seniors host byelection forumMATTHEW [email protected]
The concession trail-er that helped Langley Lions raise thousands of dollars for charity every year was looted by thieves.
It was stolen Feb. 7 from a secured park-ing lot at the business of Lions past president Paul Keeris.
Surrey RCMP found it at 176th Street and 66th Avenue.
Among the items taken were a large barbecue, power gen-erator, griddles, tents, and a long list of uten-sils and supplies.
The thieves destroyed the side door, and smashed internal supports in the trailer. They also tore apart the small side door.
Keeris was shocked. “You’re desper-
ate, you don’t know what’s going on,” said the seven-year Lions member.
Fellow Lion Ray Tremblay checked out the damage Monday morning with Keeris.
“I put in so many hours in this thing, I’m just shocked,”
Tremblay said.The Lions pro-
vide hot break-fasts at Douglas Park Community Elementary, and are a fixture at num-erous celebrations, including the Langley Good Times Cruise-In and fundraisers for the B.C. Children’s Hospital.
Repairs will cost $10,000 to $15,000, Keeris estimates.
He’s hoping some-one from the com-munity will be able to help the Lions get the trailer equipped and fixed up by May.
Every dollar raised by the Lions goes towards their charities, so there’s not money for trailer repairs or replacement.
Anyone interested in helping can call Keeris at 604-888-7513.

OUR VIEW
Our pets deserve our kindness
The pets owned by British Columbians are usually well cared for. Whether they have pampered indoor animals or muddy-pawed working dogs
and barn cats, people generally take their health and well being seriously.
When there are incidents of animal abuse and neglect, the general population is shocked. The death of six dogs in a dog walker’s truck caused an uproar. More recently, an alleged puppy mill was busted in Langley’s Glen Valley, and a large num-ber of cats and more than a dozen dogs seized from a breeder and kennel operator on Colebrook Road just across the munici-pal boundary in Surrey.
This week, the B.C. government announced changes to the code of practi-ces for kennel operators and cat and dog breeders.
The new rules will provide for min-imum space for animals, a duty to pro-vide immediate veterinary care, and may include proactive monitoring and enforce-ment for breeders. That last sounds like a good idea – a few random inspections could go a long way to clean out the dark corners of the industry.
More than a third of Canadians own a cat or a dog, according to a survey last year by the Canadian Animal Health Institute.
We owe it to our pets to take good care of them, and to ensure that care is being taken of the industries that supply us with pets.
Animals come into our lives from rep-utable breeders, from friends with litters, and from animal shelters. They become parts of our families, providing compan-ionship. All they ask is food and shelter and care, and sometimes a tossed ball or a warm lap on which to sleep.
People sometime question why the public seems to get angrier about crimes against animals than about violent crimes involving adult humans. The simple reason is that, like children, animals didn’t make any choices to be where they are. They are entirely at the mercy of their owners. We owe it to them to ensure that their owners do not fail them.
– M.C.

L ambs, cyclists, and hot rodders have something in common.
They all like to cavort outdoors the moment a bit of sunshine sug-
gests the onset of spring weather.And they don’t let their brains get in
the way of expressing their feelings of un-wintered freedom.
In lambs, the effect is cute and charm-ing, as they bounce mindlessly across a barely green pasture. In fact, it’s down-right exhilarating to watch them express their boundless energy and exuberant joy at being alive, while their fluffy moms graze peacefully nearby, one eye focused on whatever tufts of spring grass that might be within reach, the other mindful of their youngsters’ safety.
Of course, those lambs are experien-cing their first spring ever. It makes their brainlessness in distant pastures the more charming.
It’s not quite so charming to watch cyclists darting in and out of traffic as they make their first foray into the post-winter world, mindless of the rules of the road, not bothering to signal their intent to weave from sidewalk to road-way and back to sidewalk, threatening drivers and pedestrians alike with their joyful disregard for life and limb.
Like their motorcycle-careening cous-ins, they know that, whatever the cir-cumstances that will lead to their inevit-able collision, whether with a mom and
stroller or a Mack truck, it’s always the other guy’s fault.
Unlike the happy-go-lucky lambs, young cyclists are often encouraged into their stray behaviour by blissfully careless parents who lead them through crosswalks without dismounting, barrel-ling along sidewalks to ter-rorize pedestrians, and bla-tantly disregarding the laws that regard cyclists as oper-ators of vehicles – placing their two-wheeled transport on the same lofty platform as motor vehicles.
Whatever happened to the classroom posters that kept us old fogeys on the straight and narrow when we weren’t yet old fogeys?
Those posters used to admonish those of us fortunate enough that our parents could afford to provide us with bicycle transportation to “Be Safe!” and ensure that we all knew – and used – our hand signals before turning left or right, or before stopping.
And of course there was the classic message “Bicycles are vehicles, they must obey the rules of the road!”
If a teacher spotted us disobeying those admonishments in any way – at any time at all, in or out of school – our parents would hear about it.
And we’d learn to walk anew.
At least until we learned that cycling safety is both etiquette and law, and that courteous cycling would pay dividends beyond saving us from injury and keeping us and others alive.
I have a theory: that the kids who never properly learned those lessons grew up to become the drivers who don’t understand the concept of a stop sign and appear to have difficulty dis-tinguishing between the but-
tons and knobs that control their car’s music system from those that operate their turn signals.
And come the first breath of spring, they are the ones roaring past our homes, rattling our windows and terrify-ing out children and pets.
If you’re one of those, here’s some-thing to ponder. The sentiments expressed in the thoughtful looks you get as you gun your motors and crank up the volume another notch aren’t, “Wow! What a car!”
They’re, “Wow! Just another jerk!”Ah, yes. Spring is in the air.And brains are left under the couch.

So Langley, tell us what things drivers do that really irk you. Readers weigh in:Tara Johnson Hawkins: people who rush up the left lane when the right lane is backed up waiting and then expect you to let them in.
Stephanie Turner: Yes gotta love driving with the flow of traffic and some jerk behind you is trying to intimidate you because you’re not going fast enough meanwhile the flow of traffic is already going 20 over the speed limit.
Megan Fristak: I live on a street off 208th in Willoughby where turning left onto 208th is a night-mare during peak times. Even if traffic is backed up, it’s hard to get someone to leave a gap to let you out. Common courtesy goes a long way. You’re not going anywhere anyways!!!
Bob Bell: Not yielding to ambulances. High speeds. No turn indicators used. Loud music. Tailgating turning from the wrong lane.
Danielle Christopher: Parents at school drop-offs and pick-ups are the scariest!! I’m often seeing kids almost getting hit because of unsafe parent drivers. I have been almost hit crossing marked cross-walks to get to school!

Dear Editor,On a recent cool Friday even-
ing, my wife and I were eating at Quiznos on 200th Street when we saw a younger homeless man.
He was pushing two over-flowing shopping carts by the nearby window. He soon aban-doned them temporarily and shortly thereafter returned.
I went outside and asked him whether he would like to come inside to warm up and have a free meal on me. He was slightly startled and then he told me that he wasn’t one to pass up a free meal. He told me that his name was “CJ.”
We learned that CJ had been sober for two years and that he never has done drugs because “they scared him.”
I congratulated CJ on his sobriety and conviction. He smiled. When asked about his
background, CJ informed us that he had been homeless in Langley for four years now and that he was previously from Saskatchewan.
CJ’s parents were apparently drug addicts and he had been left to basically try to raise a younger brother and sister by himself.
When gently pressed, CJ responded to me that he had tried to get a job but as soon as prospective employers found out that he was homeless he had been passed over in the past.
CJ usually gets about one and a half hours sleep at night because he is constantly told to move on by the police as he tries to sleep in bank lobbies and other places.
As a former teacher, banker, cop, and intelligence officer, I have credible experience in assessing people. CJ is a sin-
cere person who would likely respond well if he ever was given the elusive “break” that he so wants.
If you ever see CJ in Langley he will likely be pushing around two shopping carts, wearing a toque, and be sporting yellow sweat pants.
Take a minute or two to talk with this somewhat shy and credible person. You will like him and be impressed. More importantly, if you can assist him in finding a job such as stocking shelves during the cold nights, it just might make the world of difference for this gen-tle human being who is overdue to receive some help.
Langley is a great commun-ity that can reach out to CJ. Catching up with CJ might make a difference in your life as well as his.

Dear Editor,An Open Letter to
Langley Township Council,
The decisions of council on design and location of the proposed Aldergrove Recreation Centre have made many people in Aldergrove and the rest of Langley lack confi-dence in the council.
There are ways of correcting these errors without spending more money.
The pool must be made larger. I realize that the consulting group stated that a six-lane, 25-metre pool would be adequate for Aldergrove but really the consulting group just said what council wanted to hear.
If council wishes, the proposed pool could be expanded beside the main building, moving the grassy area and picnic area to where the wave pool is planned.
Eliminate the wave pool. It would only be open in the summer time. We need a lar-ger year-round pool in Aldergrove far more.
The pool should be at least 35 metres long and eight lanes with a deep area to accom-modate a regular sized diving board and rope swing area. Something for the older youth to do besides lengths. Eliminating the wave pool would free up monies for a larger pool and a roof. There is no intention on coun-
cil to enclose the pool because that would ruin the ice. It would cost a lot for the system to counteract the conden-sation caused by the ice and pool in the same building and to council the ice comes first.
In the summertime both the Aldergrove outdoor pool and Aldergrove Lake were very busy.
Aldergrove Lake was free to the public so even those with low income could attend every day in the heat of the summer with their families. I am wonder-ing how often lower income families could afford to spend the $10 a day or more to attend the new complex in the summertime.
Our mayor says we already have a large pool in Langley so we don’t need one in Aldergrove. Try telling parents who would need to spend hours after school taking their children to a swimming lesson, waiting for the lesson to be over and then driving home to cook supper for the family.
Council, think again. Enlarge the pool and make the air warm around the pool.
Give the pool summer in the winter time. It won’t cost more.
The money is already in the budget if you eliminate the wave pool.
Dianne Kask, Aldergrove

Supporters make community centre a debt-free reality.RONDA [email protected]
The brand new Timms Community Centre had its grand opening Wednesday and revealed what many in the City of Langley were likely hoping to see – a robust community centre filled with the latest in exercise equipment as well as other elements to enhance the use of the facility.
A total of $175,000 in dona-tions was received from 11 local donors which, along with other items, allowed for the purchase of TechnoGym fitness equipment in the weight room ultimately turning the equip-ment into a personal device during the workout.
City of Langley Mayor Ted Schaffer noted the four multi-purpose rooms and the spin room are sponsored.
“The gymnasium and even the walking track are spon-sored [too],” he said.
The contributions of the 11 families, business leaders, and businesses offset any impact to taxpayers for the construction of the facility which came in on time and on budget.
Donors are recognized on the new centre’s wall of sponsors. The Jeffery family has naming rights of the gymnasium and the Province of B.C. has nam-ing rights for the fitness track on the second level.
“I grew up with Langley. I guess I’m as close as you get to being a child of the city,” said Bryce Jeffery.
Jeffery’s father took part in creating the committee that petitioned Victoria for the cre-ation of Langley City.
“He was a very, very, very, very strong supporter of the City of Langley over the years,” Jeffery said.
The Degemann family, Redekop family, Madsen family, and Dams family are silver sponsors of multi-pur-pose rooms, the Wesik family is the silver sponsor of the spin room, and the Paolella family is the silver sponsor of the fit-ness room.
“Langley is still a great place to have our head office and do our business out of,” said Marco Paolella. “It’s where we started out very early and some of our first construction projects were within the city limits.”
Bronze sponsors include the OpenRoad Auto Group, IPEX Inc., and the Kerr family.
“We think the new centre will provide a hub of recrea-tion and culture for the current and new residents to come,” said Patrick Kerr.
“For us, it’s a legacy type of thing,” said Ron Madsen of his family’s sponsorship. “I’ve been in the Langleys for the better part of my life. We are community minded and are proud to be a part of [the Timms Community Centre].”

The new Timms centre offers some unique features.RONDA [email protected]
The new Timms Community Centre is more than three times the size of the original facility that was set up in the old library.
That building was demol-ished to make room for the new 35,000 square foot LEED silver facility.
Chief Administrative Officer Francis Cheung said it was the programming the City wanted to offer to residents that drove the need for the size as well as the different rooms.
“I heard over and over again from council members, ‘we’re a small community, $14.3 mil-lion dollars is a big budget for a community our size, there is only one chance at doing this and we want to do it right’,” said Cheung.
Through discussions with user groups and reviews of programming, the original plan for about 19,000 square feet was revealed to be too small for the community’s needs.
The new centre was built to appeal to many kinds of users.
A new gym features retract-able bleachers and a division curtain to allow for multiple programs, but perhaps one of
the most interesting features in the gymnasium is found above.
On the second floor is a three-lane, 121-metre walking track. Complete with glass rail-ings, the walking track offers views of the gym area below with a range of sights to the north and west of the facility through the expanse of win-dows.
It can be used for walking or running, and baby strollers are allowed on it.
Also on the second floor is a community kitchen and four multi-purpose rooms.
There is also a fitness room on the second level with a sprung wood floor.
Downstairs, users of the facility will find a games room filled with billiard tables and air hockey as well as tables and chairs to facilitate card games, puzzles, or other activ-ities. Next to the games room is the weight room equipped with TechnoGym equipment and free weights. Nearby is a room filled with spin bikes and the audio and video equip-ment.
There’s a large, open, and naturally lit atrium area that connects the community centre to the library and City hall. Entrances are off both Douglas Crescent and Fraser Highway. There is a cafe near the cen-trally located reception desk and a living wall of plants vis-ible from both floors.
“Every room in this building is really bright,” said Cheung. “It was important to us, and to the architect, to make use of natural light.”
The centre includes another attraction – the fenced outdoor gym area.
“It’s a 20-foot by 40-foot soft play area,” Cheung said.
Accessible from both the games room and the weight room, the outdoor gym has a rubberized surface set into the concrete slab. A number of activities will be offered outside in warm weather from yoga classes to ping pong.

Michael Kelly Gabriel, son of Kwantlen First Nation Marilyn Gabriel and her husband Kevin Kelly (standing behind him) spoke Saturday morning at Yorkson Creek Middle School.
TROY [email protected]
This past weekend revolved around healing and awareness at Yorkson Creek Middle School.
The Langley Journey to Reconciliation Committee hosted events at the school, centering around aboriginal residential schools and their impact on Canadian history. Roughly 150,000 First Nation, Inuit, and Métis children were separ-
ated from their families and made to attend residential schools.
The last residential school closed in 1996 and since then, former stu-dents have pressed for recognition and restitution, resulting in the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement in 2007 and a formal pub-lic apology by former prime minister Stephen Harper on June 11, 2008.
Michael Kelly Gabriel, son of Kwantlen First Nation Chief Marilyn
Gabriel and her husband Kevin Kelly, offered a younger person’s perspective about the history of aboriginal residen-tial schools.
“Today, we come together and work together as one,” Michael said, speak-ing inside the school gym Saturday morning. “This is a healing journey, and also a journey of understanding of what our survivors have gone through.”

let’s eatLANGLEY
Born from experiences in Europe, and particularly Paris, Fort Lang-ley’s Little White House is an escape from the everyday into a world of pretty things, tasty food and the ability to take time to enjoy.
As owner, Cheryl Krecsy explains, high-tea at The Little White House is quite different from a British style afternoon tea many people are familiar with.
“This is a European high-tea. There are savories as well as sweets on the tea tray,” she says.
Everything is made in-house, so guests can
partake as early as 10:30 a.m. Delicious items make up the menu: mini quiches, sausage rolls and rosemary parma short-bread are the savory items along with a mini croissant of egg salad, chicken salad or another seasonal favourite. This plate is rounded out with mini pickles and candied nuts.
The sweet side of the tea is complete with sweet scones served with Devonshire cream and raspberry preserves, petite souf� é cupcakes, lavender shortbread and perhaps another seasonal sweet.
Accompanying this list is the Little White House’s own macarons. The recipe was
developed in-house based on the Parisian style of creating the airy sandwich cookie. The pastry chef even hand paints a season-al design on each macaron.
“In addition to high-tea, there are other things to enjoy at the Little White House,” Cheryl says. “Brunch is served all day and while the menu is designed for the lighter, nibbling and sharing style of eating women love, there are also hearty items on the menu.”
Along with the delicious food items, the Little White House has its own line of teas including the popular Crème de la Earle Grey. It makes the experience of high-tea
even more unique.
With three separate seating areas, plus an outdoor secret garden for warmer seasonal dining, The Little White House is popular for children’s � rst teas, birthdays (especially century celebrations) and even joyful me-morials. Easter events, including an Easter egg hunt, are in the planning stages now.
People come to enjoy the food, but often � nd themselves lingering in the boutique over the carefully selected décor and clothing items. The Little White House is an opportunity for a relaxed escape.

A love of wine and a love of food come together in perfect harmony in South Langley at The Bacchus Bistro located at Chaberton Estate Winery. It’s the ideal location for a romantic dinner, lunch with friends or a quick bite while checking out the wineries in the Campbell Valley region.
Executive Chef, Ashley Chisham ensures every visit to The Bacchus Bistro is a positively memorable one through creations that focus on the inherent fl avours in food and the wines that can be enjoyed with them.
“Coming here, is an experience of not just a winery or a restaurant, but both together,” Chef Ashley says.
Guests are able to enjoy a full winery experience in the Fraser Valley’s largest and oldest winery. With a full range of food to go with a full range of wines, guests can take part in wine tastings, a tour of the winery and lunch or dinner in the bistro.
An authentic taste of wine country minutes from Downtown Langley and White Rock, The Bacchus Bistro offers an escape to the countryside combining comfortable, yet exquisite dining
with a diverse selection of wines everyone can embrace. The passion and detail is evident in the locally sourced ingredients used in every hand-crafted dish, just as it is with the Chaberton Wines made on site.
Chef Ashley considers himself extremely lucky to work at The Bacchus Bistro on the Chaberton Estate Winery grounds. He picks fresh herbs from the garden just outside the restaurant’s door, has an amazing view of a working vineyard and, of course, has access to some of the best wines in the Fraser Valley.
Enjoy the vineyard experience while dining on the patio. This beautiful covered area overlooks the vines and guests of The Bacchus Bistro can witness the process of winemaking in action. It’s a unique experience in the Lower Mainland to be enjoyed minutes from Downtown Langley.
“We hope our guests will enjoy an element of tranquility from their day-to-day life while they spend time here,” says Chef Ashley. “It’s an ideal way to get away and enjoy some of the fi ner things in life, but without the need to get dressed up. This is an atmosphere everyone will feel
welcome in.”
The menu at The Bacchus Bistro – whether for lunch or dinner – gives guests a range of lighter, or more fi lling, selections. From soup and salad or a prawn appetizer to the Lamb Shank “Aux Epices”, there are options to fi t every taste. There is also a Table d’hote menu for those looking for seasonal offerings in a three-course meal selection.
No matter what someone’s meal preferences, The Bacchus Bistro has options to fi t. There are vegetarian entrees like the Za’atar Roasted Hazelmere Organic Farm Banana Squash. This beautifully presented (and tasting) dish is served on a spiced garbanzo mash topped with Brussels sprouts and pickled cranberry salad drizzled with a tahini yogurt sauce.
“We use a middle-eastern style spice blend with this,” Chef Ashley notes. “And we pickle the cranberries ourselves on site .”
Not only does Chef Ashley make most of the accompaniments in the kitchen, he also prefers to obtain ingredients as close to the restaurant as possible. “I have a few local farms I work with and I’ve been buying a lot of cheese from Mount Lehman Cheese. I use as much local as possible.
And the wine comes from 50 feet away,” he jokes.
One of the most popular entrees is the Lamb Shank “Aux Epices” which is slowly braised over three to three-and-a-half hours.
“White wine with the lamb balances it out and adds a nice brightness to the dish,” he notes.
Another popular item is the Golden Beet Salad. Chef Ashley pairs deliciously marinated golden beets tossed with baby arugula in a preserved lemon vinaigrette and fi nishes the dish with chevre cheese.
While every effort is made to create beautiful, fl avourful dishes, Chef Ashley stresses this is not complicated food. These are items everyone can enjoy.
“We focus on bringing out the natural fl avours of the food. I don’t want to try to force food to be something it’s not. Much like the wine here. It’s about working with the ingredients and showcasing them in the best way possible to create a wonderful end result.”
Now, in its 25th year, it’s obvious Chaberton Estate Winery has been doing things right with The Bacchus Bistro. They deliver the best of what the Fraser Valley has to offer in food and wine.

Everyone knows about the health ben-efi ts of the Mediterranean diet, but sometimes fi nding the right ingredients – and knowing what to do with them – can be a challenge. The Greek Pantry makes things easy for you.
Set up like a comfortable Mediterranean grocery story, owners Yianni and Anna Pappas make your selections easy.
“We know our stuff,” Anna says. “It’s like a mini-seminar every time someone comes in. We will help them make the right selections and understand how to prepare delicious food.”
Perhaps what is most interesting is that there isn’t anything fancy at the Greek Pantry. The ingredients and products are simply great food from Greece, other Mediterranean countries and local suppliers.
“We fi nd the best products for our customers,” Yianni notes. “There’s nothing weird here, it’s all easy to use and enjoy.”
From oils (which you can try before you buy) and feta cheese to plenty of spices and vinegars, this couple knows their food – and their customers. You’ll also fi nd fi sh and meats, pasta and rice; as well as an array of Gluten Free products includ-ing fl our, pasta, spanakopita and baklava - to name a few. Of course there are olives too.
“We are also the only place that can make Turk-ish coffee the traditional way,” Yianni says.
And, if you’re not in the mood to prepare food, be sure to take advantage of the meals to go, along with freshly baked spanakopita and cheese pies.
In honour of the Greek Pantry’s fi rst anniversary, Yianni is giving out a raffl e ticket, to all custom-ers who spend over $20, for a chance to win a dinner for 4 at the Galini Greek Kouzina & Grill

Come in to JD Farms Specialty Turkey for the true taste of turkey! Quality turkey is standard here: none of these birds are ever given antibiotics, there are no an-imal bi-products in the feed and all turkey grown by, or for, JD Farms adheres to strict standards for animal care.
Janice McWilliams, Offi ce Manager for JD Farms explains that while the store has fresh turkeys for Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and summer barbeque season, and frozen, whole turkeys year round, there are other ways to enjoy turkey any day of the week.
“Everything is done here,” she explains. “We make the sausages, pepperoni, pre-made meals, soups and more right here in our kitchen.”
With close to 100 products listed, it makes one wonder how this team manages.
Janice laughs and explains, “We have multiple fl avours of pepperoni, like honey garlic and jalapeño cheese, and they are available in various sized packages or loose, so you can purchase just one or two pieces.”
For those craving turkey dinner without all the mess of dishes, check out the pre-pack-
aged frozen turkey dinners.
“It’s a very healthy to-go type of dinner,” she says. “It’s all made from scratch.”
Turkey pot-pies in both individual and family sizes are hot sellers as are the turkey lasagna, cannelloni, shepherd’s pie, meat-loaf, meatballs, cordon bleu and cranberry turkey roll. There is no shortage of dinner ideas to take home and bake.
The lunch options are as endless as dinner with a number of fresh salads, a wide range of turkey lunch meats, European wieners, smokies and farmer sausage. Plus, the bistro on site is available for those looking
for a tasty bite for a quick sit-down lunch or take-away.
Even breakfast favourites like turkey bacon are available.
“You can have turkey at every meal,” Janice notes and adds. “For those with food allergies or sensitivities, many of our products are gluten free and our staff can tell you exactly what goes into every item we make.”
If you’re craving turkey, head over to JD Farms Specialty Turkey for a wide range of options.

Real Canadian Superstore has become the shopping destination for natural, organic and special dietary options. With two completely stocked natural foods aisles, gluten-free bakery items and organic produce options, shopping is a true one-stop experience.
Assistant Store Manager, Fresh Foods, Ross Pickard notes, “Many people don’t realize the great selection we have in natural foods. Not just in standard branded items, but also in our PC (President’s Choice) product line which is very high quality.”
Quality and choice are great, but the price is right at Superstore as well. Most of the items are more affordable than they would be elsewhere.
“I hear that a lot,” Ross confi rms about pricing. “That and people shop the whole store, but they start in these two aisles.”
The natural food aisles offer more than food – there are vitamins and supplements from the
leading brands, body care items and even baby products. Food items include staples like pasta and sauces, but there are also natural cereals and beverages.
In the summer, when produce is plentiful, shop-pers enjoy sampling of various types of locally grown items from apples to tomatoes. Organics are all labelled to make the shopping experience easier.
“You may fi nd things in various spots,” Ross says. “No matter what the dietary requirement, we want you to fi nd what you need.”

Are the days of the hometown deli a thing of the past? How about the locally owned and operated steakhouse? It’s all alive and well at Bob’s Steakhouse Bar & Deli in Aldergrove – home of the best deli delights and amazing sit-down lunches and dinners.
Bob’s is an eclectic blend of community and great food. Here, you’ll fi nd special events like Blues Nights, Wine Wednesday, Jazz Saturdays, Friday and Saturday Prime Rib specials and so much more. Bob and Chef Sat, believe in making dining out an important event – whether it’s a specialty burger on a house-baked pretzel bun, or one of Sunday’s a la carte brunch items like the prime rib eggs benny.
“We’re open for lunch and dinner every day and breakfast on Sunday from 11 to one,” Bob says. “We’re one of the few independent steakhouses left.”
Lunch might include a take-out item from the
walk up deli (which has great prices on Black Forest Ham and bacon every day), or a sit-down meal of Bob’s famous seafood salad. For dinner, steaks are always a great choice, but there’s also prime rib and even schnitzel, which is something of a tradition for the building, which served the dish back in the 1960s.
The portions are big, the food is delicious and Bob’s is a wonderful choice for dining out in a comfortable atmosphere or grabbing a few deli items to go.

A family and cultural affair makes Sen Viet one of the best places in the Lower Mainland to enjoy the diverse tastes of Vietnamese food. Owners Chris Doan and his mom Christine have been in the restaurant business for several years, but with Sen Viet they have truly hit their food creation and customer satisfaction stride.
“We serve dishes that you won’t � nd anywhere else in Langley,” Chris says. “There are maybe two or three restaurants in the Lower Mainland that serve the kind of food we prepare.”
The food Chris is talking about is fresh, wholesome, authentic and made with care, under the direction of Christine. In addition to her interests in running the restaurant, she spends time creating the newest � avours to delight Sen Viet’s customers. It’s a labour of love.
“My mom, she’s the head chef,” notes Chris. “We’ve been in the restaurant business for 25 years, but that isn’t why she keeps learning more about Vietnamese cooking, it’s because she has a passion for food.”
That passion for food has led to some of the most commonly ordered menu items at Sen Viet. Christine has travelled Vietnam to take cooking classes and continue to immerse herself in
the culture and the food. With each visit, she learns something new and comes home ready to create new dishes for the restaurant. Once perfected, the in-house chef team recreates the new menu items. Every dish is made in-house. There are no packaged or pre-made foods served here.
One of those dishes is known as The Village Special. It’s a rice noodle bowl with lemon grass chicken, drizzled with coconut milk.
“You can only � nd this particular dish in one region of Vietnam called Long Xuyen,” says Chris. “That’s my home town, it’s where I was born, and that’s where you’ll � nd the origins of the Village Special. I haven’t found it in any other restaurant and yet, it’s one of our most popular items. Obviously my mom knows how to make this one in her sleep.”
Everything created at Sen Viet comes from whole, fresh ingredients. Because the restaurant is open seven days a week, food is delivered daily to ensure every lunch or dinner item is as fresh and delicious as possible.
“Another popular item is a lunch favourite, a lot of people call it the ‘Craig Special’, because a very healthy guy named Craig comes in and gets it regularly and he has told a lot of others
about it,” Chris says.
The Craig Special is actually a Green Papaya Salad with Lemongrass Chicken and Avocado. Chris explains that while this isn’t a traditional Vietnamese dish, all of the ingredients are typical of Vietnamese food.
“It’s a creation using all the ingredients my mom loves to work with,” he says.
Perhaps the biggest seller on the Sen Viet menu is the Lettuce and Rice Paper wraps. Styled something like the “make your own fajita” dishes at Mexican restaurants, the rice wraps allow customers to put prawns, chicken, vegetables, rice noodles and more into a tasty wrap. It all comes to your table, ready for you to assemble and enjoy.
Chris also points to the Vietnamese crepe as an option for “do-it-yourself” creations. Although the crepe comes assembled and ready to eat, guests are able to customize what they want in the crepe from chicken to prawns, bean sprouts to vegetables. The crepe itself its he key, he notes, saying it’s made
from rice � our, turmeric and coconut milk.
For a really traditional Vietnamese dish, try the Canhchua, an authentic hot and sour soup.
“Everything we do is to create the best possible experience for our customers,” Chris says. “We don’t want to be just like another restaurant, we want to deliver a memorable meal that you fully enjoy. It’s authentic Vietnamese food, but with our personal � air.”
Chris also believes the enjoyment of Vietnamese food should be available to everyone, regardless of food preferences or sensitivities. That’s why Sen Viet has an almost completely gluten-free menu. In fact, only two sauces in the entire restaurant are not gluten free.
Sen Viet brings an authentic, delicious taste of Vietnam to Langley.

Looking for great food in a relaxed, welcoming neighbourhood bar environment? Look no further than Bar One. Located in the same building as Denny’s Restaurant (right across from Willowbrook Shopping Centre) but strategically located just inside the main doors, Bar One is the place to go to watch the game and have a bite, relax after shopping or get together with friends in a comfortable atmosphere. The inviting décor, comfortable surroundings and welcoming staff make this an ideal dining choice.
The new menu is designed to appeal to a diverse range of appetites and offer a new spin on local favourites. “We’re very proud of the new menu,” says Megan Gardiner, Marketing Manager for Bar One. “We launched at the beginning of February, it’s a collection of classic dishes, each with it’s own inspired twist.”
With an enticing list of sharable appetizers, premium loaded burgers, and satisfying entrées, each Bar One dish is crafted to look great, and taste excellent. The Halibut Chipotle burger is a great new dish featuring a panko-crusted patty of pure halibut (no fi llers here) served with chipotle
mayo, tomato and Cheddar cheese. Try the new shrimp potstickers, drizzled with a unique golden sriracha sauce and is sure to please.
“The response to our new menu offerings has been overwhelmingly positive,” Megan adds. “Our fl avours are carefully crafted for an appealing taste, while remaining casual and fun. This is great food that delivers on both fl avour and visual appeal.”
The cocktail menu at Bar One is equally creative and tempting. A traditional Moscow Mule made with Fentiman’s Ginger Beer pairs beautifully with the
hand-cut, and slightly spicy Buffalo Panko Calamari. Or, try a Juan Collins with the Taco ‘Poyo’ – two crispy chicken tacos complete with Pico de gallo, grated carrot and shredded cabbage in a warm tortilla.
“It is our priority to ensure that every guest that walks in the door is comfortable and has a great time, with impeccable food and service,” says Megan. “The Bar One experience is guaranteed to suit just about anyone looking for quality food, fair prices and a comfortable, approachable atmosphere.”

Dining out can, and should be an experience – a great one if it’s at the historic Hilltop Diner Café. Owners Andrea Zaiser and Sandie Parley have turned this 70-year-old iconic location into something of a destination for those who love to eat.
Open for breakfast and lunch, Hilltop is known for a number of great items, but on the top of the list are the hamburgers, breakfasts and of course the pies.
“In 2001 there were only two kinds of pies,” Andrea says. “Now, between cream pies and fruit pies we have more than 20.”
Andrea’s sister Sandie plays a huge role in the business, but perhaps her biggest part is making all the cream pies from scratch.
“She loves to bake and I love to cook, so we thought, wouldn’t it be fun to own our own restaurant?” recalls Andrea.
Sandie creates the cream pies in the tiny kitchen while the fruit pies are all hand-crafted nearby at Krause Berry Farms using local and Okanagan-grown fruit.
The pies aren’t the only thing made from scratch. Hash browns, sauces, baked beans, sausage and hamburger patties and French fries are made every day as are the
soups and sandwich meat.
“There’s no deli meat here,” Andrea says. “We roast our own turkey, beef and ham and slice it ourselves. That’s the kind of food people want to eat.”
There are four kinds of Eggs Benedict served with those fresh-made hash browns, just like the classic breakfasts served whenever Hilltop is open.
With home-made patties, it’s no wonder the Pattie Melt and Hilltop Burger (complete with fried mushrooms and gooey cheese) are so popular, but the “challenge burgers” are delicious in their
own right as well.
“People tell us, they aren’t just challenge burgers, they also taste great,” notes Andrea. She’s talking about the Mountain Burger two fi ve ounce patties, bacon, sausage patty, ham, onion rings, barbecue sauce and more and the Everest Burger with three patties, bacon, onions, ham, mozza and more.
Of course that kind of quality takes time and Andrea and Sandie caution customers this is far from a fast food joint. The Hilltop Diner Cafe is the kind of place to sit down and enjoy a great meal.

Making things from scratch takes time and few restaurants make the effort. Local-ly-owned Choo Choo’s Food and Beverage Company in the heart of Downtown Langley is different – they make everything in-house from desserts and dressings to soups and breads. That means no matter what you order, your food is created by the cooking staff fresh each and every day.
“It’s something of a lost art,” says co-owner Helene Causton. Husband Terry agrees, “Most places just won’t take the time.”
The couple’s family has owned the restaurant for more than 20 years and has always focused on the best food possible. It’s real food for real people who want value and great taste.
The wide range of burgers run from classic tastes to fancy creations as does another popular item here – the schnitzel. Mountains of mushrooms or “Dirty Gringo”, schnitzel takes on great new
flavours at Choo Choo’s.
“Everything is prepared daily,” Terry says. “It’s more expensive this way, but you can’t match the flavor of hand-made, carefully prepared food with something you took out of a box or a bag.”
Save room after your meal for one of the numer-ous flavours of custom-made cheesecakes or cin-namon buns. And yes, even the cinnamon buns are crafted in the kitchen behind the scenes. Remember what real food tastes like with a visit to Choo Choo’s.

There’s a fresh, tasty way to get all the vitamins and minerals you need in Brookswood. It’s the juice bar, affectionately known as Roots Juice, inside Rustic Roots Health Food Store.
Owner Debbie Whitburn explains her youngest daughter runs the juice bar, but all of her daugh-ters are involved because they grew up knowing the value of whole, real juices.
“It’s my passion,” Debbie says. “I love juices and I think people need to learn more about them.”
Debbie points out that juices are made from organic fruits and vegetables that provide vita-mins, minerals and enzymes, whereas smoothies deliver vitamins, minerals, enzymes, � bre and protein by adding to the juice blend. It’s about what goes into each drink – like the Tsunami Smoothie her eldest daughter created: coconut water, cucumber, green apple, avocado, spinach, mint, turmeric, honey and banana.
The most popular juice is the Mean Green and like the majority of juices made at Roots Juice, it’s made with a Norwalk juicer, known for its ability to get every last bit of goodness out of the ingredients. Real, fresh juices and smoothies provide all the nutrients of fruits and vegeta-bles – unlike pre-made products bought at the grocery store.

Owner and Executive Chef Parinya Loptson has always had a passion for cooking, but for the longest time, she never imagined herself owning a Thai restaurant. She tried careers as a school teacher, child care atten-dant, computer programmer, and even nursing before moving to Langley and opening up her award winning restaurant, Ban Chok Dee Thai Cuisine.
“I tried so many things at first, before I opened the restaurant” Parinya says. “But I was always drawn back by how much I loved cooking. Even when I was going to school, I was working part time in a Thai restaurant and learning as much as I could.”
It was when Parinya was look-ing for work that her friends, after feasting on her food at a party, suggested she open her own restaurant. Once the idea got into her head, there was no stopping her, and Ban Chok Dee soon became a destination for amazing Thai cuisine in Langley.
“I really enjoy it,” she says of owning her own restaurant. “I love cooking… Not just the cooking, but all of it, the presen-tation, the creativity, the inter-action with the customers and my staff. I’ve been cooking Thai
food my whole life, ever since I was very young in Thailand.”
Parinya is very busy with her restaurant and young family, but she still finds time to visit Thailand. She recently finished a six week sabbatical where she attended several cooking schools in Bangkok where her focus was on learning new techniques for both ancient Thai food and mod-ern fusion food. She is particular-ly interested in developing new dishes using the ‘sous-vide’ cook-ing techniques that she learned from Iron Chef Ian Kittichai at the Issaya Cooking Studio.
Her recent experience in Thai-land has inspired her to create an exclusive dining experience, the Chef’s Table. This will be an 8 to 10 course meal consisting of entirely new dishes that aren’t on the regular menu. The food will be prepared and served person-ally by Executive Chef Parinya to give Thai food aficionados a rare opportunity to both experience the new creations before anyone else and to learn about them from Parinya herself.
One of the planned dishes for the upcoming Chef’s Table in June is Sang-wa Goong. It is a river prawn salad with crunchy fish and ginger with a special cit-
rus sauce that has to be import-ed directly from Thailand.
“I learned about this dish (Sang-wa) from the reigning Iron Chef Thailand, Chumpol Jangprai at the MSC Culinary School. It’s a traditional ancient dish and I modified it to my own tastes and what I know my customers love,” she says. “There is a lot of flavour from the ginger, lemon grass and herbs.”
Another dish for the June Chef’s Table is Gang Som Pla which is sablefish in a sour papaya curry puree.
“Sablefish has a unique taste, so I want a different kind of curry sauce to go with it,” Parinya notes. “This curry doesn’t have coconut milk in it, so I use papa-ya to smooth out the sauce and enhance the flavours.”
Ban Chok Dee is Parinya’s pas-sion and it shows. She’s always getting ideas for special events and creating unique dishes.
Another upcoming event is the annual Thai New Year celebra-tion on Saturday, April 16. Tick-ets are being sold for this special event, so seating is limited. The restaurant will have a selection of special menu items, with the theme being the history of Thai
food containing selections of ancient, traditional and modern Thai fusion dishes. There will be live cooking demonstrations of some of the ancient Thai food.
As a special treat, she will also have a selection of some of her award winning dishes from past Vancouver Foodster Restau-rant Challenges, including her Siam Sliders (burger challenge); Thai-nado Poutine (poutine chal-lenge); and Thai Fish and Chips (fish and chips challenge).
It’s all designed to let local residents experience what she learned on her recent cooking trip while also offering up some old and new favourites.
There will be an early and a late seating, and tickets for the Thai New Year dinner can be purchased online at www.BanChokDee.com.
Tickets for the Chef’s Table event in June will be posted in the near future, or you can contact the restaurant for more information.
Ban Chok Dee Thai Cuisine op-erates seven days a week, from 11 AM to 3 PM and from 4:30 PM to 9 PM.

The Home of Famous Pies – as the sign says – turned 70 in February 2016, and owners Andrea Zaiser and Sandie Parley continue the tradition as they celebrate Hilltop Diner Cafe’s anniver-sary.
Zaiser and Parley pur-chased the diner more than five years ago after Zaiser said, “Wouldn’t it be fun if we ran a diner?”
They had both waited tables in the past and Zaiser had managed a few eateries, so when the call came that the owner was ready to sell, the sisters dove in head-first. Parley was looking for a retirement activity and Zaiser needed a little something to call her own.
The pair has brought Hilltop back to a place the founder, Isabel Mary (Ralph) Gerrard likely would have been proud of.
While Gerrard was the original owner, the establish-ment changed hands quite a few times before the sisters took it on, but longevity was
built into the Hilltop Diner Cafe when it opened in 1946. Gerrard lived to age 97 and if the sisters have their way, the diner may just surpass that.
It wasn’t always easy for the diner on the hill on Fraser Highway between Aldergrove and Langley. Some owners had different visions for it. It even closed down for a few years, but throughout it all, it always remained family owned.
“It’s an experience when you come here,” Zaiser said. “This is not fast food. It’s real food. I’d say 85 to 95 per cent of what we do is
homemade. We make our own hash browns and french fries, roast our own turkey, beef, and ham, and my sis-ter bakes all the cream pies here.”
Back in 2001, there were just two kinds of pies on the menu. Now, there are more than 20, including the famous flapper pie. As Zaiser says, Parley loves to bake. Even the fruit pies are creat-ed locally, although off-site at Krause Berry Farms.
The diner is a sit-down occasion with history cover-ing the walls. Photos of past owners, era-specific images, and even signage of years
gone by make up part of the decor. Certainly the interior is worth seeing, but more than that, Zaiser wants everyone to know it’s about the food.
The food is so good, Hilltop was featured in the Food Networks You Gotta Eat Here! TV show.
“Not a lot of restaurants in the area do what we do,” she said. “You find good food in the oddest places.”Family and friends make
up a good portion of the team that keeps the diner hopping. Zaiser’s daughter is the head cook and she brought her best friends along to work with her. It’s a lively environment where regulars are usually greeted by name by Zaiser or Parley.
“I really like working with people,” Zaiser said. “To me, it’s like visiting. I’m just lucky enough to have staff who cook and clean up. We have such amazing staff. These girls are like family.”
Zaiser said the Hilltop con-tinues the tradition Gerrard started: good food and ser-vice with a smile; now for 70 years, and running.

Lynda Berry donned her blue formal dress, white gloves, white pumps and handbag. And on
the arm of her then beau, Carl Christensen, attended their graduation back in the 1960s.
Throughout the years, Lynda Christiansen (yup, she married Carl) also saw the dress on her granddaughter Tessa.
“I raided my grandmother’s closet as a kid,” said Tessa Bowick, a Grade 12 stu-dent at Langley Secondary. “I kept it all these years. I used to play dress up.”
The grandmother, now 70, will get see that blue dress on her all-grown-up granddaughter in the lead in the LSS production of The Pajama Game.
Lynda graduated from Brookswood Secondary but did attend LSS for a year and is part of the pioneer-ing Berry family connected with local general stores.
A previous incarnation of her blue dress was a bridesmaid dress for the marriage of Lynda’s sister. (Bowick also plans to wear the dress for her grandparents’ 50th anniversary celebrations in the near future.
In The Pajama Game which runs Feb. 26 and 27 and March 3, 4 and 5, Bowick plays the lead character, Babe Williams,
whom she describes as spunky and spirited.
Babe heads the union at the pajama factory and ends up falling in love with Sid, the new factory superintendent.
Bowick will wear the blue dress during the scenes where Babe and Sid are spending their first time alone as a couple. And her grandmother will be in the front row opening night.
Bowick cherishes the dress.“It’s still beautiful,” Bowick
said.There’s more family connec-
tions in the show.The live orchestra (22 com-
munity members and two stu-dents) includes the aunt of one
of the Grade 9 students in the show.
The husband of teacher Patti Thorpe, who works at Trinity Western University, is in the orchestra and brought along some students.
And Emma Garland, who graduated from LSS and is now studying choreography at SFU, returned to do dance duties with the show. Her father is also
playing bass in the orchestra.LSS resource teacher
Nicole Simon, who plays with the TWU orchestra, is among the musicians helping with the show.
Thorpe jokes that she pays the band in cookies but acknowleges how much their support is valued.
Thorpe and fellow teacher Brian Leonard are overseeing the production this year and Pajama Game was picked for demographics.
“It has a lot of girl parts, a lot of good strong wome,” Thorpe said. “The parts for guys are good also.”
But the truth about high school dramatics is that
more girls try out for roles.The show staged The Pajama
Game a few years ago during the summer camp program.
There’s 32 students on stage ranging from one Grade 7 stu-dent from H.D. Stafford Middle School to LSS students in all
grades.There are half a dozen stu-
dents doing the crew work to pull together this production.
The Pajama Game is not a popular play. It hit the stage in 1954 and was made into a 1957 film with Doris Day.
But its legacy is its music.“It’s an interesting show
because most of us have never heard of it,” she said. “But if you get some people of a certain age and sing ‘Hey there, you with the stars in their eyes’…”
Older people will recognize the songs, including Hey There, Steam Heat and Hernando’s Hideaway.

Sharon Newbery1. Should the City work to
increase population density in the downtown core?
Yes. We need more housing in the city and better transit but will not receive the improved transit without the higher density.
Rae Maj4. Should more RCMP
officers be hired, even if it means a tax increase?
No. Residents do not feel safer as more money is being allocated to a larger RCMP budget. We need to change the type of policing that is being implemented.
More on street presence, bike patrols through the city as well as security on the streets later into the evening.
Mel Kositsky8. Should Langley City
lobby to get a light rail or SkyTrain line extended to the downtown?
Langley City can be well served by public transit because of its geographic location, and any improve-ments to routes in Surrey and Langley Township would likely be linked to a City hub site. Because of the increasingly high price of land, especially in the Willowbrook area, it is dif-ficult to say if there is enough space available to build Skytrain stations and at-grade light rail might prove difficult, as well. We now have proven success of the #555 Express bus to Skytrain over the Port Mann bridge and an express to Aldergrove.
I would like to see more express buses along Fraser Highway (direct to Langley City) as a start while negotia-tions continue with the prov-incial and federal governments for more funding.
Kiernan Hillan5. Should the City do more
to improve security around the downtown?
Yes. It took many years for us to get where we are today and the situation will take many years to resolve. If anyone says they have simple solutions to this complex issue, they are grossly underestimat-ing the problem. It will take vision and resolve to improve our downtown.
We need to take actions designed to change the dynam-ic in the downtown core. This will involve the RCMP being more aggressive when dealing
with the criminal elements as well as involving all stakeholders in real discussions to ensure that our homeless population is dealt with effect-
ively and with care. I would like to see more foot
and bike patrols. If we have a physical presence in the down-town then the criminal ele-ment will feel uncomfortable. Constant vigilance will help bring petty crime down. Be hard on the street level crime at all times,
Take back our City centre and create an environment that ensures our residents feel safe and secure. We must work together as a community to make sure that everyone has a place in our City and create infrastructure to support that.
We need to increase rea-sons for our residents to want to be and live downtown. If we achieve this, we will go along way to reach the goal of improving security downtown.
Carol Gran2. Do you support the con-
struction of high rise develop-ments?
High rise development is often controver-sial but there is no quicker way to increase the population, broaden the tax base and to pro-vide amenities we currently cannot afford. In return for greater density developers can be convinced to contribute generously to items on our
wish list. High rise develop-ment is further in the future because the land in our City presents expensive challenges.
Shelley Coburn3. Should the City do more
to promote the construction of low income housing?
No to strictly “low income housing” but yes to affordable housing.
It really is not for the City to build “low income housing”, as this is gener-ally provincial jurisdiction, however, it is the responsib-ility of the City to try and work with developers who want to provide affordable and appro-priate housing. We might need to better manage the existing “low income housing.”
What I mean by this is that we need to have a look at what we have, who is living in it, and what kind of shape it is in. Basically, is it safe and is it liveable? If it isn’t, we need to work to apply pressure to the property owners to make sure that these places are habitable. We have vulnerable people living in our City and we have to make sure that they have a safe place to live no matter how much money they have. Just because a person is on a fixed income does not mean that they should not expect the same access to safe and comfortable housing that other people have.
I think that our focus should not solely be on “low income housing” but on responsible development, and in some cases this may mean having multiple price points in a building or designating a cer-tain percentage of units in a building “lower income.”

Business owners provided mentorship to students.MATTHEW [email protected]
Students gathered Wednesday at Walnut Grove Secondary to come up with the next great business idea.
The Millionaire Mindset meeting was organized for teacher Bruce Young’s Business 12 class, along with other interested students.
Members of the Walnut Grove Business Association stopped by the school library to talk with the kids and offer some advice.
The event shows students pos-sible careers they can pursue in business, Young said.
After hearing from some speakers from the local business commun-ity, the kids broke up into groups and brainstormed some ideas of
their own. This is the third year of the event, which previously went by the title BYOB – Be Your Own Boss.
Events for the business and entrepreneurial students this year will culminate in “Gator’s Den,” a Dragon’s Den-style competition that will see students pitch their ideas to local business owners in late May.

Walnut Grove Secondary is a B.C. basketball powerhouse.
Here’s proof: the Gators junior boys captured the
Fraser Valley championship title over the weekend, while the Gators junior girls took second in the Valley.
Walnut Grove’s junior boys won the Valley title with a 58-40 win over the Pitt Meadows Marauders in the final, played Saturday night at Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Secondary.
Gators head coach Chris Bertoia noted that strong team defence was the key for his team winning the Fraser Valleys, with the Gators holding foes to a paltry 41.2 points per game dur-ing the tournament.
“With our offence, we feel that if we hold teams below 45 that we can beat anyone,” Bertoia said. “Our team motto is ‘defence plus rebounding equals championships.’”
James Woods was the Gators’ leading scorer during the tournament (he poured in 19 points versus Pitt Meadows), and
earned the tournament MVP award. Luke Adams also had an excellent tour-nament, Bertoia said, and was named
to the tournament all-star team. “Luke held the big 6’6” kid
from Pitt to six points in the final,” Bertoia said.
“I was especially glad to face Pitt [Meadows] in the
final and beat them,” Bertoia added. “I have lived in Maple
Ridge my whole life and played ball at Garibaldi. Pitt beat us way too many times when I was a kid. It was great to take a championship game from
[Marauders’ veteran head coach] Rich Goulet!”
En route to the final, the Gators beat Johnston Heights 58-39 Feb. 15, downed cross-town rival R.E. Mountain 57-39 Feb. 17, edged North Delta 54-49 in their first game of the championship round at Terry Fox on Feb. 18, and defeated Yale 56-44 Friday, Feb. 19.
Meanwhile, at Maple Ridge Secondary, the Gators junior girls were clipped 56-54 by the
Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers in their Fraser Valley title match-up on Saturday night.

Eighty Years AgoFEBRUARY 20, 1936
ˠEpidemics of influenza, pneumonia, and measles added to the rigours of an unusually severe winter. ˠMice played at the feet of the police commission during a meeting at Murrayville Hall. One was reported to have run up Chief
Robert Macklin’s leg.
Seventy Years AgoFEBRUARY 21, 1946
ˠ Langley’s council and school board met for a joint meeting for the first time ever, to discuss the problem of a $40,000 increase in the school budget. ˠBurglars broke into McDougall Hardware, and stole goods and
cash valued at $100. ˠAn attempt to remove the safe at Fort Langley Hotel with a handcart stolen from Rogers Feed Mill was thwarted when the proprietor heard noises and decided to investigate.
Sixty Years AgoFEBRUARY 23, 1956
ˠCounsel for the City and Township summed up
before the arbitration board that was considering division of assets between the old Langley municipality and the new City of Langley. The City wanted $196,000. The Township offered $61,000.
Fifty Years AgoFEBRUARY 24, 1966
ˠ Local bids for
construction of vocational wings at Langley and Aldergrove Secondary Schools came in $87,000 above the school board’s estimates.
Forty Years AgoFEBRUARY 19, 1976
ˠPlans to divert Fraser Hwy. through the northeast of Langley City to form an inner
bypass route to the proposed extension of the No. 10 Bypass were revealed by Mayor Bob Duckworth.
Thirty Years AgoFEBRUARY 19, 1986
ˠA train derailment just east of Fort Langley caused spills of 65,000 gallons of ethylene dichloride and 13,000 gallons of caustic soda. Residents were put on evacuation alert. The wreck was the area’s second in a single year. ˠ Langley travel agent Wayne McCannan’s ordeal was finally over. He had had been held in Costa Rica for nine months, facing fraud charges in Guatemala after he stopped payment on an $8,067 cheque to a hotel. ˠ Lochiel Elementary parents protested proposed closure. ˠA 21-year-old woman was charged with criminal negligence causing bodily harm after a rock-throwing incident resulted in the loss of a local rock group manager’s eye. ˠ Langley RCMP officer Rob Young pulled a young mother and her baby from the Salmon River where their vehicle was submerged.
Twenty Years AgoFEBRUARY 21, 1996
ˠ Local restaurateurs got together to discuss their opposition to the proposed total ban on smoking in public places. They wanted their restaurants exempted from the ban, and Bedford House owner Herb Feischl suggested that the marketplace, rather than government, decide what their customers really want. ˠCity council asked B.C.’s attorney general with a request that cheap-drink nights be disallowed here. ˠBuilding a Community of Readers, a partnership between Langley School District, Willowbrook Shopping Centre, Fraser Valley Regional Library, and the Langley Advance, was awarded the Governor General’s Flight for Freedom Award for Literacy Innovation. ˠ Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA and Liberal house leader Gary Farrell-Collins revealed family members of BC Hydro heads and NDP insiders benefitted from the purchase of shares in a BC Hydro subsidiary. The scandal went right to the office of Premier Glen Clark, who had been the cabinet minister responsible for BC Hydro.

Do you have good hearing but poor comprehension?
Ginette van Wijngaarden, from Connect Hearing proudly displays the Audéo Venture hearing aid.
Do you sometimes feel that you can hear well, but not fully understand what’s being said? This can be most evident in social conversations and watching television. Fortunately, there may be a solution for some people dealing with this type of hearing loss ‑ the Audéo Venture hearing aid has been designed specifically to help improve speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear.Poor comprehension in conversation can possibly be caused by undetected hearing loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the high frequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear making it difficult to hear consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g.Speech comprehension is even more challenging when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not consider themselves to have a hearing problem. They can hear deep tones with no issue,
and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying. Phonak Audéo Venture Hearing AidsThis past year, Swiss audiologists have developed a hearing aid that can, in qualified candidates, improve speech comprehension for those with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can sign up for a free demonstration of the Audéo Venture hearing aids by calling now to do so. During your appointment, you will be given a hearing test and speech comprehen-sion analysis. If inner-ear damage is
present, a hearing care professional will determine the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then programmed into the hearing aids, which precisely take into account and balance the frequency range of the person being tested. The demonstration phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech com-prehension can be improved in various situations and what role the hearing aid technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The hearing aid recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this can significantly improve speech comprehension, espe-cially in conversation for some clients.Want to find out more about the Audéo Venture hearing aid?

The defending B.C. Triple A senior girls basketball champs – and the top-ranked team in the province – wouldn’t be denied in the Fraser Valley final.
The Brookswood Bobcats rolled to an 83-52 win over Cloverdale’s Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers in the Fraser Valley championship game,
played Saturday at Port Coquitlam’s Riverside Secondary.
The Bobcats had a huge 19-point lead at the half and cruised to vic-tory after the break.
“This was the third time we played Lord Tweedsmuir and was the first time we got out early and got a big lead,” said Bobcats head coach Neil Brown.
Leading Brookswood’s offence was Aislinn Konig with 32 points,
Louise Forsyth with 19, Brooklyn Golt with 14, and Julia Marshall with 13.
“This was also the first time that scoring was spread out over four players,” Brown said.
The Bobcats have fared well in the Fraser Valley zone, which Brown describes as “the tough-est league in B.C.”
The numbers back this claim up: over the past 16 years, 12 Fraser Valley Triple A senior girls squads have won the B.C. title.
Defence has been the key to the ’Cats’ success all season. “Our team defence was awesome,”
Brown said. “We only allowed 35.6 points per game against three teams that are ranked in the top 10 provincially. We call Julia Marshall, Mana Katori and Tavia Jasper the ‘Killer Ds.’”
Brown said Brookswood’s defensive stalwarts “ruined the weekend for some of the top players in the prov-ince.”
He also lauded the play of Grade 10 centre Brooklyn Golt.
“She is the most improved player in one year that I have ever coached,” Brown said. “We should nickname her ‘Windex’ because
she cleaned the boards all weekend long.”
Brown pointed out that Konig “was her usual self, dominating,” and won Fraser Valley tournament MVP, while Forsyth earned a first all star selection.
“Lou can score with the best,” Brown said.
Heading into the final, the Bobcats downed host Riverside 63-27, and defeated Abbotsford’s MEI Eagles 94-27.
“[I’m] very proud of this young team who have learned what goes into a winning program,” Brown said. “Their com-mitment level is unques-tionable.”

PENNY, Francis Born January 10, 1950 – Died February 13, 2016
Lovingly remembered by his wife Asante Penny (Rita Loftsgard), son Simon (Frances), siblings Philip (Liette), Michael (Dorothy), Catherine and Kevin (Kristin), and grandchildren Alyssa, Mark, Caelan and Neala.
Loyal to friends and fami-ly, Francis had a charm and charisma that made people smile. A natural sportsman, he enjoyed hockey, football and golf. Francis was a very creative and talented person. He quit math in high school to study theatre, and then traveled extensive-ly doing children’s theatre. Subsequently becoming a journalist, he published in the Washington Post, Toronto Star, Vancouver Sun, and other publications.
Francis loved animals. He was professionally involved with thoroughbreds in Ontario and standardbreds in BC, and became marketing director at Fraser Downs Race-track. Fueled by his love of nature a new dream appeared and he became a bee keeper. Fascinated by the artistry of web design, he leaves a legacy of beautiful websites.
A celebration of his life will be held in the spring when the ground dries up. Donations may be made to the Senior Animals In Need Today Society in Mission, BC.

Predeceased by her husband Robert in 1994, she leaves her children Barbara (Larry, deceased), David (Carole), Christine (Rick), Gordon (Kathleen), Fay (Dale) and Joyce (Gerry).

Alice lived a long and fulfilling life raising her family and enjoying her grand children. She enjoyed playing darts and cards, lawn-bowling, gardening, fishing, knitting and baking, and was still driving up to one year ago. Ever the ‘social butterfly’ Alice always enjoyed a good party, dancing and telling her life-experience stories.

Reception and light refreshments to follow.
Delores Rosa GrafstromSeptember 1, 1929 –February 13, 2016
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Mother and Grandmother Delores Rosa Grafstrom (nee Vinoly).
Delores is predeceased by her husband Carl, her son David and daughter Kristina (Dundas). She is survived by her children Carl (Connie) Grafstrom, Mark Grafstrom, Douglas (Tanya)
Grafstrom, Eric (Linda) Grafstrom and AnneMarie (Mark) Dill. She also has many grandchildren, great grand- children and a large extended family.
Delores was born in Vancouver and spent her younger years in Vancouver and Powell River. After finishing school Delores worked at Hudson’s Bay. Delores met the love of her life Carl in 1949 and they were married in 1950. They moved to Butte Dale where Carl worked at a cannery and they started their family. After a few years they moved back Richmond and then finally onto Langley where they could raise their children in the country. Delores was a devoted Mother and loved her children dearly. When the children were older Delores worked for many years at Fields and K-mart in Langley in the fabric departments. She also went back to school and received her certificate for Long Term Care, she worked at few different Hospitals and Care Facilities in the lower main land.
Delores enjoyed volunteering too; she was a Brownie and Girl Guide Leader, belonged to the Langley Hospital Auxiliary, Victim Services and helped out at the Abbotsford Library.
Delores and Carl later purchased a power cruiser and spent many enjoyable years touring the Gulf Islands. They are finally together again relaxing in their boat, sea air in their faces, smiling at each other.
We would like to thank the staff at Marrwood Manor for the care of Mom in her last years.
Please join us in a Celebration of Delores’s LifeFriday March 4- 1:00pm at Parish of St. George,
9160 Church Street, Fort Langley BC
