They filled every seat inside the Fort Langley Community Hall on Glover Road and stood wherever there was room, some lining up along the stairs to hear the service for Harold Hamon, the 57-year-old owner of Hamon’s Towing & Recovery.

The overflow crowd outside couldn’t hear anything, but they stayed anyway.

Before the Sunday memorial, more than 50 tow trucks drove through Langley City, assembling at Hamon’s favorite breakfast spot in the morning before forming a procession.

Some came from as far away as Vernon.

Organizers of the memorial tried and failed to get a parade permit, so they went ahead without one.

As a result, they said, one trucker in the procession got ticketed by the RCMP for blocking traffic when he got stuck in an intersection on a red light.

Hamon’s customized 800-horsepower 1964 Ranchero and bright blue 1980 Chevy short-box pickup were transported to the memorial by two of the tow trucks.

There were about a dozen

classic cars in the parade as well.“It was a great turnout,” said

Hamon’s brother Ron.Two songs were played before

and after the pastor spoke. The first was Kenny Chesney’s Shiftwork with its refrain of “Work seven to three/Three to eleven/Eleven to seven” in honor of the hard-working Hamon’s tendency to work long hours.

Then the pastor told stories about the big-hearted tow company owner who would

give someone in need a tow even if they were broke, telling them to pay him when they could.

“It wasn’t a sad funeral at all,” Ron Hamon said.

“It was a celebration of Harold’s life.”

Then they finished by playing Vince Gill singing “Go rest high on that mountain/‘Cause, Son, your work on earth is done.”

Hamon’s towing company will keep going despite his passing, run by two of his brothers.

The genial Hamon died after he was injured in a two-vehicle crash on the Langley Bypass on Friday March 11.

His blue Ford F350 pickup was hit by a white Chevrolet panel van on the Langley Bypass east of the 200 Street intersection.

According to police, the van was making an illegal left-hand turn onto the bypass when the collision occurred.

The force of the crash sent the Ford into a ditch, injuring Hamon and his passenger.

Hamon died in hospital while he was waiting for surgery to repair his shattered hip.

Both vehicles were seized for mechanical inspections.

Langley RCMP said charges were being considered.

Budget system

‘needs to change’

NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Three of the major cost drivers that will send property taxes up by 3.95 per cent this year “should be significantly lower next year,” finance director Hilary Tsikayi told Township council at a budget meeting on Monday.

However, she warned against fluctuating tax increases, arguing that “regular small property

tax increases raise more money than large sporadic increases.”

This prompted Councillor Kim Richter to remark that several years of five percent and four percent increases cannot continue.

“For some people, five per cent is very high and their wages have not gone up five per cent,” she said.

But the costs won’t go away, Tsikayi advised.

The three major cost drivers are wages and

benefits, which add $2.3 million to the budget, the police contract for $1.4 million more, and $705,000 to convert Murrayville fire hall to a full-time facility.

Combined, these are the equivalent of four to five per cent of the total budget.

Richter questioned Langley’s “huge surplus,” arguing that it suggests too much had been put away in previous years.

Tsikayi advised that surplus funds are used to

finance one-time capital projects, reducing the need to raise taxes or borrow money.

The Township no longer includes in its regular budget cycle specific amounts for the Capital Works Reserve which traditionally has funded capital projects, thus a surplus is the last available funding source.

Richter said that the budgeting system used by the Township is not sustainable, suggesting

instead zero budgeting which requires every department to justify its expenditures.

Staff had earlier advised that the only realistic way to reduce the tax burden was to eliminate or reduce programs or services.

At their next meeting on April 11, council will consider three major parks and recreation projects for inclusion in the budget, and

A Langley man who was the target of a drive-by shooting at his heavily-fortified rural home in 2008 will serve five years in a U.S. prison for his part in a cross-border smuggling scheme that trafficked in money, marijuana and cocaine.

Jody York, 36, and six other B.C. residents involved in the ring were all sentenced Friday (March 25) by U.S. district court Chief Judge Robert S. Lasnik in Seattle, who ordered 59 months of jail time followed by three years of parole.

York and the others had earlier pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and marijuana and conspiracy to engage in money laundering.

The charges were the result of a three-year investigation that led to the seizure of more than 1,700 pounds of cocaine, 7,000 pounds of “B.C. Bud” and around $3.5 million in cash.

York was co-founder of a Langley-based trucking company used in the smuggling ring.

Drugs were hidden inside hollowed-out logs on trucks, within the false walls of cargo containers and vehicles, within loads of

commercial lumber and beauty bark, inside large PVC pipes, and within the interior of a propane tanker. Some loads were carried on foot across the international border between the United States and Canada.

In December of

2008, York’s partner in the trucking company, Robert J. Shannon of Maple Ridge, pleaded guilty to smuggling charges and was given 20 years.

A month earlier, York’s home at 23988 36A Avenue was shot at

and a garage door and camper were riddled with bullets. No one was injured.

The $1 million residence featured a number of advanced security measures including video cameras, police said.

Fewer residents of Langley Township and Langley City turned off their lights during Earth Hour on Saturday night, according to figures released by B.C. Hydro.

In the Township, power consumption dropped 1.34 per cent during the annual turn-out-the-lights event, less than the 2.1 per cent reduction recorded during the previous year.

The figure for Langley City was lower.In fact, it was the worst in Metro Vancouver at

.99 per cent, down substantially from the previ-ous year’s reduction of 2.6 per cent.

The numbers for the Langleys are also worse than they were in 2009, when the Township posted a 2.1 per cent drop to outperform the city’s 1.8 per cent reduction.

Township environmental co-ordinator Ryan Schmidt said even a small percentage can make a big difference financially.

“In a typical year, our citizens spend over $61 million on electricity” Schmidt observed. “Sav-ing 1.34% of this would result in keeping over $820,000 in our community available for other things ... it would also decrease our community’s dependence on, and financial exposure to, a commodity that is expected to increase in price by over 30 per cent over the next three years.”

Province-wide, conservation actually improved, with B.C. residents collectively reducing their demand for electricity by 1.8 per cent, up from 1.04 per cent the year before. Pitt Meadows topped the province with a 5.7 per cent reduc-tion. West Kelowna and Williams Lake were the worst, with savings of 0.11 per cent. From 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. British Columbians saved 117 megawatt hours of electricity, equivalent to turn-ing off 7.8 million 15-watt compact fluorescent bulbs.

Richter warns of

gas danger

NATASHA JONESTimes Reporter

The strong Canadian dollar and the increasing price of gasoline is luring more and more residents to buy their fuel in the U.S.

But placing large jerry cans of gas inside the passenger compartments of vehicles poses a danger, Township Coun-cillor Kim Richter said on Monday.

She has asked council to consider her motion which urges the provincial and federal governments to investigate, regu-

late, and possibly ban the transportation of gas in cans. Richter said after the meeting that she is concerned when several large containers are filled with gas and placed inside vehicles where children might be present. The danger comes from fumes, and the possibility of an explosion in the event of a collision.

“I just want public safety for our chil-dren and our roads,” she said.

“The transport of these gas-filled plas-tic containers in the back of private vehicles constitutes a significant public safety hazard on Township and other

Lower Mainland roads, for both vehicle owners and vehicle passengers, espe-cially children,” she said.

Richter said that she and her hus-band often travel to Bellingham to meet friends for a meal and are noticing “an increasingly alarming and dangerous trend” of vehicles with B.C. licence plates filling several plastic containers with gas for their return to Canada.

She said that “visions of rear-end col-lisions, and concern over fireballs, are especially concerning to me, as most are loaded with kids in the minivans.”

She said she has seen up to six large cans of gas loaded into vehicles.

“The Canadian border crossing staff admitted to me that this is very prob-lematic and that they are equally con-cerned because of safety, but they can do nothing about it.”

She added that according to border staff, duty on the extra gas is rarely charged. Her motion will be on the agenda for council’s April 11 meeting. An ICBC spokesman said that transport-ing gasoline cans in vehicles does not invalidate insurance.

NATASHA JONESTimes Reporter

A South Langley resident, unhappy with Township coun-cil’s “extreme solution” to block traffic entering High Point estates from 0 Avenue, offered a few sug-gestions on Monday.

Shawneen Hartmann said that modifications which might include speed humps, would not only reduce the speed of vehi-cles but spread traffic out over the South Langley area around 200 Street.

Earlier this month, council supported a staff recommenda-tion to eliminate an intersection at 0 Avenue and 200 Street. It had been in the plans, but was not built in order to deter construc-tion vehicles from entering High Point from 0 Avenue.

The staff recommendation came after 48 people signed a petition objecting to the inter-section.

That troubled Hartmann and other residents who said that blocking 200 Street access at 0 Avenue filters more traffic on a small number of streets, creating more conflict between pedestri-ans, equestrians and vehicles.

Last week, Dave Belliveau, who lives in the 20400 block of 4 Avenue, questioned the useful-ness of the petition when some owners may not necessarily live at High Point, and many lots remain vacant.

Hartmann, who lives at 317 - 208 St., said many residents were “choked” by council’s ruling.

High Point is an equestrian-themed estate with multi-million dollar homes, but not all proper-ties are large enough for horses.

Hartmann noted that almost all the estate’s roads are cul de sacs or dead-end roads.

Mayor Rick Green said he was concerned about horse trails that dissect the road through High Point, and people using

the twisting road through it “as a slalom course.”

“I’m concerned that we will end up with a real serious accident, and not just one,” Green said.

After Green commented on the Township being inundated with traffic calming requests, Hartmann replied: “Enforcement. Do what you have to do.”

She added: “The reality is that we are going to have to find a way to co-exist. Closing the road is not co-existing. We have to find a compromise that does not eliminate traffic (from 0 Avenue and 200 Street).”

Asked by Councillor Kim Rich-ter what she thought about more public consultation on the issue, Hartmann replied, “Perfect.”

She said that residents were not aware of the pending closure until they read about it in the paper.

Richter’s proposal for an open house will be discussed by coun-cil at its April 11 meeting.

John GORDON/Langley TimesResidents of South Langley want more consultation about whether the 200 Street and 0 Avenue intersection should be opened.

The Canadian Federa-tion of students (CFS) acted illegally when it blocked a Kwantlen Polytechnic University student from becom-ing a member of the CFS provincial execu-tive committee, the B.C. Court of Appeal has ruled.

The decision ends a legal battle that began in 2008 when the national student group refused to let Kwantlen student Derek Robert-son join the CFS B.C. components execu-tive committee as a representative of the Kwantlen Student Asso-ciation (KSA).

Robertson was among a group of stu-dents who wanted Kwantlen to pull out of the 500,000-mem-ber CFS, arguing the national lobby group was not delivering enough to justify the dues it collected from the 18,000-member KSA.

Before the matter came to a vote, Robert-son was appointed as

the Kwantlen rep to the B.C. component, but he was withdrawn during the lead-up to the bal-lot.

After a slim majority of students, 56 per cent, voted in 2008 to stay in the CFS, the KSA coun-cil re-appointed Robert-son as representative to the organization he’d fought against.

The leaders of that organization were not pleased, and refused to ratify his appointment on three separate occa-sions.

Since the Kwantlen students refused to appoint anyone else the result was a 22-month standoff where there was no Kwantlen rep on the Canadian federa-tion’s B.C. component.

In court, the Kwantlen students argued the fed-eration is only entitled to decide whether a repre-sentative was properly elected and could not refuse an appointment for any other reason.

The federation argued it does have the right to pick and choose reps from those nominated by the 80 university stu-dent groups that belong

to the CFS, and ordering them to accept Robert-son would be interfer-ing in their internal affairs.

Through several court hearings, the CFS has been unable to con-vince any judges.

The latest to weigh in were three members of a B.C. Court of Appeal tribunal who upheld a lower court ruling that the Canadian fed-eration was compelled to appoint whoever the Kwantlen students selected, so long as the process was proper.

“The executive com-mittee was entitled to satisfy itself that Mr. Robertson had been duly elected and des-ignated, that he was a member in good stand-ing of both the KSA and CFS-BC and that he had agreed to, by oath or affirmation, to assume the duties of a direc-tor. It was not entitle to go further determine whether it considered him to be worthy mem-ber of the Executive Committee,” the judges said in a written deci-sion published online March 18.

Kwantlen students win legal fight


About three weeks ago, letters started landing at the Envision Credit Union head office in Langley.

They’d been marked “return to sender” by suspicious recipients, all of them U.S. residents who were quite right to doubt their veracity.

For one thing, the address of the Envision Financial Regional Office had the wrong postal code — V2Y 2X2.

For another, the credit union has nothing to do with any American lottery.

“Congratulations” the letter read.It claimed the target had won last

year’s surplus of the Michigan Elec-tronic Millionaire Raffle.

Some mailings even came with a cheque.

The letter instructed the recipient to call a “claims agent” before cashing the cheque.

However, the number provided was that of a fraudster who will collect a fee and claim the cheque is legitimate when it isn’t.

The credit union has posted a warning on its website for any Ameri-cans who Google Envision because of the letters.

“If you receive one of these mail-ings, do not cash the cheque and contact your local law enforcement agency immediately,” it reads.

“We’ve never had anything like this” said Envision spokesperson Sarah Pederson.

Envision has also posted a page of anti-fraud tips at: https://www.envisionfinancial.ca/Personal/Plan-ningAndAdvice/FraudPrevention/ChequeFraud/

paid for with surplus funds. These are an artificial turf field for Aldergrove, a field house for Willoughby Community Park, and a park for the Yorkson neighbourhood.

Council will also have to decide on cutting services to reduce costs, or increasing user fees.

These options include reducing hours of operation at recreation facilities, extending the maintenance closure of the Blair Recreation Centre from two weeks to three, closing the demonstration garden and cancelling Rivers Day.

However, a majority of council refused to scrap hanging baskets for Aldergrove.

At council’s most recent budget discussion, Councillor Charlie Fox had asked staff to provide the salaries and

expenses of all the council members. This was done on Monday, but not discussed.

The information shows that, with expenses, the nine council members together make almost $450,000 in wages and expenses.

At $93,962, Mayor Rick Green Green’s salary (using 2009 figures) is the highest. The eight councillors made between $36,129 and $38,273.

Their expenses show a huge disparity. Green’s totaled $12,620. Among councillors, Fox had the least amount at $187, and Councillor Mel Kositsky the most, at $7,688.

Councillor Bev Dornan, in her first full year on council, had $6,888 in expenses.

Staff also provided council with information about staffing levels. From 2003, (pop. 91,600), to 2011, (pop. 105,000), 158 people were added to the

payroll, more than half of them for the fire and police departments

The Township has “quite successfully” reduced staff in other areas through attrition, Tsikayi said.

Key positions are not being immediately filled, and high-ranking bureaucrats are doing double duty.

For example, the Township’s top civil servant, Mark Bakken, has been acting as municipal clerk since the departure of Eric Britton several years ago.

Ramin Seifi, who heads the planning department, has assumed the responsibilities of the engineering department since the retirement of Colin Wright in February.

The Township currently has 24 positions which are being kept vacant while staff determines if they can be eliminated.

Staff reduced through attritionfrom PAGE 1

ADVERTORIAL

It seems there is a pill for every ill but every ill doesn’t necessarily require a pill. Instead of a sleeping pill, check your sleeping environment. Don’t eat big meals late in the evening; avoid alcohol before bed; cut your caffeine consumption down to nothing after 4PM; don’t smoke; try deep breathing exercises to help to relax before bed. Television just before bed can act as a stimulant. All that bad news can’t be good for relaxation.

Related to this sleep comment, the question of afternoon naps comes up. Actually, a 30 to 60 minute nap can be benefi cial. It helps us get through the rest of the day and there is even some evidence that it helps our ability to learn.

Infants and children handle drugs differently than adults. Their changing physiology and anatomy mean that doses have to be smaller because they metabolize drugs more slowly. Doses for children are based on body weight. Read labels carefully and use a calibrated spoon to measure out liquid medicines. Our pharmacists can help you with this.

There was a rumour going around that women who took birth control pills for a few years would have trouble getting pregnant when they went off the pill. This is not true. In fact, many women fi nd it easier to get pregnant.

Answering your questions about drugs is one of the most important parts of our service to you. Please ask whenever you have a query about your medications.

Langley resident and departing Delta-Richmond East Conservative MP John Cummins ended his short retirement from politics Tuesday, by announcing he plans to seek the leadership of the B.C. Conservative party.

Cummins told The Times he and his family moved to a new home on 4 Avenue last summer to accommo-date a daughter’s love of horses.

He hasn’t decided whether he will run against either Liberal incumbent in Langley if he wins the Conservative leadership.

“We’re open to that,” Cummins said.

“[But] we haven’t made a deter-mination yet. We’ll just wait and see.”

Cummins opened his campaign for the provincial Tory leadership with a Van-couver speech that described choosing between the ruling Liberals and rival New Democrats as a choice between “airline food and hospital food.”

He attacked the Liberals for “catering to lobbyists and corporate donors” and the NDP for being “at the beck and call of the big union bosses that run the public service.”

A Conservative government with him at the helm would ban political contribu-tions from big business and unions, Cum-mins said.

“If a party cannot raise money from the voters, it has no business representing them in the legislature.”

Cummins called new premier Christy Clark “just a carbon copy of Gordon Campbell. Same arrogance, same disdain for the people.”

As for the NDP: “They haven’t had a new idea since Dave Barrett was premier,” Cummins said.

Cummins said he has spoken with Delta South independent MLA Vicki Hun-tington, a personal friend, about joining the provincial Conservatives if he wins the leadership.

He said he told Huntington that she was elected an independent and should remain one until an election is called. Then, “if you like what you see” he said, he would love to have her join the party.

“The choice is all hers,” Cummins told The Times.

He dismissed suggestions by some observers that a resurgent provincial Con-servative party would divide the free-

enterprise vote in B.C. and help the NDP.“Liberals have been holding our votes

hostage for too long,” Cummins said.The fact that 48 per cent of the B.C.

electorate didn’t bother voting in the last campaign shows there is an opening for an alternative, he added.

Earlier this month, Cummins announced he was giving up federal politics after 18 years as the Member of Parliament for Delta and Richmond.

During those years, the 69-year-old mar-ried father of four became known for his blunt criticism of so-called “race-based” fishing policies that he said unfairly favored First Nations over other fisher-men.

Before entering politics, Cummins worked in the pulp and paper industry in Ontario, the oil fields of Alberta, and on the construction of the Bennett hydro-electric dam in northern B.C.

He was a teacher for 15 years and a commercial fisherman for over 20.

He was one of a wave of Reform MPs elected in 1993, in the pivotal election that decimated the federal Progressive Conservatives, who had governed under Brian Mulroney and Kim Campbell, and brought Jean Chretien to power.

Cummins was one of the few original Reform MPs remaining in Ottawa.

The BC Conservative party will hold its leadership vote on May 28 in Surrey. So far, Cummins is the only reported candidate.

WE SAY

Shake off the apathy

While 2011 is shaping up as the year of perennial votes for B.C. residents, few wanted

to elect a new federal Parliament this year.

However, the continual conflicts and tensions caused by seven years of minority governments in Ottawa mean that an election is always a possibility. This latest one was precipated by what appears to most non-politicians to be relatively minor policy differences.

Interest in the election in Langley will likely be low. Incumbent Conservative MP Mark Warawa won with 62 per cent of the vote in 2008. As Warawa is running again, and the Conservatives are doing well in national polls, he will likely win by a very comfortable margin again.

He has solid challengers. Liberal Rebecca Darnell is a well-known lawyer in Langley and has been the nominated candidate for more than 18 months. She has had time to prepare for this election and will be doing her best to improve the Liberal showing here.

Piotr Majkowski, the NDP candidate, was through the election routine here recently, working on Kathleen Stephany’s provincial campaign. As a young candidate, he has the potential to appeal to young people — if his campaign can persuade them to vote. Voter apathy among young people is a serious problem and has led to a significant drop in voter participation in recent elections.

In the 2009 provincial campaign, just over 50 per cent voted. Provincial and federal elections are going the way of municipal elections, where few participate and most simply ignore them altogether.

It is highly unlikely that any federal leader will visit Langley, although Jack Layton has already been to neighbouring Surrey, and Stephen Harper and Michael Ignatieff will likely be there as well. The leaders show up where there is a close contest and their party has a shot. Otherwise, they stay away.

From now until May 2, it will be up to the political parties and local candidates to try and stimulate enough interest so that people show up at the polls. Whether they approve of an election or not, those who are eligible should take the time to vote. Voting may seem dull, but democracy is a precious thing. Voting in a free and fair election is somehing that people in many parts of the world would love to have a chance to do.

THEY SAY

Not-so subtle hints

Who says things don’t change? Our fair province now has a young woman with a

sparkling personality in its highest elected office — except she wasn’t elected to the office, at least not by you and me. Only BC Liberal Party members were allowed to elect her.

But that’s how the system works. It’s only temporary as our governing party transitions from one leader to the next. Christy Clark will run for a seat in a byelection — soon. There is no need to worry about democracy.

Besides a bubbly personality, our new leader also advocates a cheerful, family-first philosophy which, coming from a right-wing party, you know is just window dressing.

How long do you think it will be before that priority is abandoned in favour of the Liberal Party’s usual financial backers?

And when is the BC Liberal Party going to change their name to reflect its true political stripes?

But they’ve got a woman at their helm for the second time. Clark is no Rita Johnston, presiding over a party in shambles, discredited and unpopular. Well, she is in charge of a party in shambles, discredited and unpopular but, luckily, she’s facing an opposition in shambles, discredited and unpopular.

Oh, what a province we live in. Why can’t we be in Alberta where we have a choice between the Conservatives and nothing else. Here we can choose between Mrs. Christy’s family-baked policy cookies and the Backstabbers.

The Et Tu Brute? Party has transitioned from its previous leader, a nice woman who seemed to have all the electable attributes you’d want: an admirable personal journey, well-spoken and professional. But that’s not good enough for a pack of dissidents.

If the NDP dissidents wanted somebody more dynamic than Carole James, it doesn’t look like they’re going to get it. Although frontrunner Mike Farnworth wants B.C. to get tough with Ottawa. Fightin’ Farnworth. How can you refuse that?

—Campbell River Mirror

The many travesties of justiceAnother sign of how systems can’t cope with growth

The backlog of cases in B.C.’s courts, and particularly in Sur-rey Provincial Court, is a trav-

esty. (See story, page 14) However, it is just one of many travesties of justice that people in Canada seem, for the most part, oblivious to.

Surrey Provincial Court is where all Langley cases are heard, except those of the most serious nature. When the provincial government of the day decided to close the Langley courthouse in the 1990s, the idea was to save money. However, the net effect was to add even more cases to an already-overloaded courthouse in the fastest-growing community in the province.

Thus the delays that were already routine just grew worse. Anyone involved in a court case in Surrey can expect to wait for years for a final resolution.

While reopening a courthouse in Langley could slightly ease some of the problems, there are so many other built-in delays in the justice system that relief would likely be quite minimal. Many criminal cases already take months and years to investigate before any charges are laid. This is due to a backlog of police work and the very exact rules of evidence that must be fol-lowed at every level.

By the time a person is charged and makes a first appearance in such a case, it is often very difficult for witnesses to have a clear recollec-tion of facts. A first appearance in court is a long way away from a trial. After a series of hearings to set future court dates, the first step in most criminal trials is a preliminary hearing, where many of the facts are gone over to determine if there is enough evidence for a trial.

To simply schedule a preliminary hearing

takes a great deal of agility. There needs to be a judge available (which is a significant problem in Surrey), there needs to be avail-ability on the part of Crown and defence counsel and many other things must come together.

While a preliminary hearing has some impor-tance, as there is no point in a trial getting underway if there isn’t enough evidence, there must be a better way to determine the strength of the case. To keep adding this lengthy and burdensome step to an already-clogged system seems foolish.

However, many lawyers are quite happy to have all these steps in the system. It makes for higher fees, and it also keeps more of them employed. To many non-lawyers, it appears that the entire system of justice is set up primarily for the benefit of the legal profession — which includes judges, Crown counsel and defence lawyers.

It is very important that anyone accused of a crime gets a fair trial, and it is also important that they get a trial as soon as possible. Having a charge hang over your head for years is a burden which many people find extremely stressful and challenging.

For victims of crime, who are always the forgotten ones, having a trial date drag on inter-minably is horrific. We have had many Langley cases where this has gone on. One of the most notorious was that of William McCotter, who was eventually found guilty of murdering two people outside their Langley City apartment in 2001. It took five years years for justice to finally be done.

This is simply unacceptable, but it won’t change unless public clamour for change grows.

Langley City lets down residents

Automated home systems could reduce power use

Election promises of 2008 have not materializedEditor: Your March 23 column, “Contro-

versial mayors are nothing new,” does a fine job of capturing the essence of the current dilemma facing the Township of Langley. It is most clear in your statement that “[Rick] Green has adopted some of the tactics of [Joe] Lopushinsky, appearing to have no inter-est in what other members of council think.”

Three years ago, Township residents bought in to candidate Green’s message, “Time for a Change.” Many of the promises made in 2008 have not materialized. We find today that those numerous promises were not well-researched, and could not be implemented due to inaccuracy, statutory, or legal prohibi-tions.

Some, like jacking up airport lease rates to industrial levels, he has outright broken. Yet the mayor and some of his followers strongly maintain that it is council that cannot work with the mayor to enact these promises.

Experts in organizational behaviour have

concluded that “toxic leaders” sometimes rise to power. A toxic leader is someone who abuses the leader-follower relationship by leaving the group or organization in a worse-off condition than what he first found them in.

Toxic leaders engage in destructive behav-iours that cause serious and long lasting harm to their organizations. Toxic leaders play to their followers’ base fears and stifle construc-tive criticism. Toxic leaders feed their follow-ers illusions that enhance the leader’s power by convincing followers that the leader is the only one who can save the organization while impairing the followers’ capacity to act.

This phenomenon is studied in the work of Professor Jean Lipman-Blumen, whose book “The Allure of Toxic Leaders: Why We Follow Destructive Bosses and Corrupt Politicians — And How We Can Survive Them,” was pub-lished by the Oxford University Press in 2005.

Many residents in the Township now real-

ize we have a problem, despite the efforts of a handful of dedicated letter writers who have been fed “illusions that enhance the leader’s power.”

I have carefully reviewed the mayor’s campaign website (that was removed the day after the last election, but I archived), attended council meetings and read the majority of reports to mayor and council, and I can clearly see evidence of toxic leadership in the office of the mayor. I urge Township residents to keep an open mind and watch closely the budget process, and then cam-paign statements of this mayor, leading up to our municipal election in November of this year.

Toxic leaders like Mayor Green do not change their spots. It’s up to the voters to change them by defeating them, as I suspect will happen this November.

Editor: Re: Going Gaga over smart meters (B.C. Views, The Times, March 16).

What’s the point of having a smart meter without having an automated system that knows which appliances and systems can be safely turned on and off automatically to ensure that the power consumption of a home is kept to an optimal level, depending on time-of-use rates?

In countries that have long used these rates you pay more at the very time when all aver-age homeowners prepare meals, take show-ers, watch TV, use the Internet etc.

With an automated system one could still prepare meal at the most convenient times. However, the system would automatically lower the heating temporarily (not a problem if one has a super-insulated home) and shut off the washer, dryer, dishwasher and other appliances.

Automated home systems aren’t science fic-tion. They have been used for years in many European homes. Some are quite simple and only monitor and operate appliances and the heating system, while others are more complex: automatically opening and closing

shutters depending on the time of the day or climatic conditions, and turning lights on and off according to pre-planned scripts based on the user’s lifestyle.

EDF, the French hydro provider, has various rate plans. One of them divides the year in blue, white and red days, each with its own peak and off-peak rates. Only an automated system can keep track of all that.

Obviously BC Hydro is putting the cart before the proverbial horse.

Editor: I was amazed to read in The Times that Langley City council went behind closed doors to do their vote to finalize our partici-pation in the 196 Street overpass. They voted to support Roberts Bank Terminal, TransLink, the City of Surrey, the Township of Langley, the City of Delta, Transport Canada and B.C.’s ministry of transportation, against the people of Langley City.

Then councillors had the nerve to chastise Councillors Dave Hall and Jack Arnold for vot-ing against it. We, the people of Langley City, thank them both for their strength to stand up for their beliefs.

To the rest of council, we will remember you in November, when you seek to be re-elected. It is obvious council learned nothing from Gordon Campbell and the HST. The people will speak in November elections.

At the last open house, I told Mayor Peter Fassbender that Langley City will become what the Whalley area of Surrey was — drugs, homeless people and transients. Business will move to areas where they do not have to con-tend with this environment and train traffic.

Langley City engineer Gary Vlieg advised there will be warning signals to warn us of a train coming well in advance, so we can take another route. The route they have provided is the route to Surrey.

With no overpasses on Fraser Highway, the Langley Bypass and 200 Street, you can bet your last dollar that business in Langley City are going to suffer. Thanks to our mayor and council, we will have another Whalley District in the middle of Langley City.

The mayor of Surrey is revitalizing the Whalley district and moving city hall to Whal-ley. She does not want the homeless in her back yard. Wasn’t it neighbourly of our mayor and council to offer Langley City as their new home?

I have lived in both Langleys for the last 50 years. I have raised my kids here and they were educated in our Langley schools. I never in all the 50 years that I have lived here felt that I would like to move to another town or city until now.

I have always felt previous mayors and councils listened to the people and they were

our voice against outside influences. I have been to every open house and council meet-ing over this, and I felt that it was a waste of my time and the people’s money, because they had made up their minds behind closed doors with outside influences.

The only reason they had the open houses was oops — the people found out. They have the nerve to tell us that the public was consulted. Not one of our residents was con-tacted and we are affected the most.

I live in Huntsfield Green and 196 Street will come alongside our complex. We have approximately 35 residents who live along that corridor and will be directly affected.

They promise us it will not be a truck route. Who is going to police it? They can promise us the moon. Once they have their road, who is going to care about us? We have 117 units in our complex, and we all feel that our mayor and council have sold us out. We will do our best to make sure there is a change in November.

Editor: I am writing in response to Wally Martin’s letter (“It’s like Bullying, The Times, March 4).

Although I do not think it is appropriate for the federal Conservative Party to exercise the use of “attack ads” on oppos-ing parties or leaders such as Michael Ignatieff, I find the com-parison of these ads to bullying to be somewhat heavy-handed. There is a similarity when the intention of attacking a person is to discredit them, but it is hard to believe that the impact from this bullying of Ignatieff would be parallel to youth.

There is a large difference between trying to discredit someone and actual bullying, and it is well known that some cases of bullying have tragic endings.

Even if these ads may not have been the best choice for Canadian television, I don’t think that the Conservative Party was unintelligent to utilize “attack ads.” From a political standpoint, it may have worked for them in some cases. I think they have a good idea of what they are broadcasting and what they wish to extract from it as well.

The letter states that we should be “role models for our youth,” and as much as I am an advocate for positive role mod-els, it begs the question just how many youth look to political ads for behaviour worth imitating?

Katie Clark,Langley

IT’S NOT BULLYING

ENERGY QUESTIONSEditor: I’m not someone who

spends a lot of time thinking about where my electricity comes from. But watching the events in Japan has really got me thinking: What kind of environmental future are we building for our children?

I know we don’t have to face the nuclear energy question in B.C. because we’ve got so many natural green energy options. But what about the rest of the world? They don’t seem to be quite so lucky. That worries me.

Energy use is the single most important environmental factor that could make or break our children’s future.There is only one environment, and if we can’t solve our energy problems then I fear for the future we may be handing to our children.

After Planit Industries and Research Ltd. of Langley was fined by WorkSafe B.C. for violating a stop work order last year, company owner Rolf Pfoertner closed the manufacturer of high-tech plastic products, laying off eight full- and part-time employees.

He told The Times he still works out of the company premises in the 19600 block of 56 Avenue, but he is by himself.

He is looking to licence his processes to other firms.

“I hold some patents,” Pfoertner explained.

His company was ordered to pay $10,000 by WorkSafe in February of 2010, according to a just-released summary of investigations published by the provincial

workplace safety regulator.

A WorkSafe report said the company had violated a stop work order that was issued because Planit was allowing hazardous chemicals “to be handled and mixed as part of the manufacturing process.”

There were multiple safety violations listed, including an absence of written safe work procedures, a lack of adequate skin and hand protection, improper clean-up of chemical spills, a lack of required labels on containers of hazardous chemicals, improper containers of same and an ineffective air exhaust system that had been “partially dismantled.”

Pfoertner disputes the findings and complains he was “harassed” by WorkSafe when he disagreed with their assessment to the point where he could not stay in business.

He said he lost a potentially lucrative contract worth $350,000 when a Russian buyer backed away because of the safety dispute.

Planit was one of two companies cited by WorkSafe BC for safety regulations in 2010.

The other was Truong’s Enterprises Ltd. on 264 Street near Zero Avenue in Aldergrove, a mushroom grower. It was fined $18,641.22 in April after a worker suffered a skull fracture when he fell two metres from a mobile work platform.

The company was fined for failing to install proper guardrails.

The owner did not respond to a Times request for comment.

Truong’s Enterprises Ltd. is not connected to H.V. Truong Ltd. one of two companies facing charges in the 2008 death of three workers at another mushroom farm in Langley.

Last year, WorkSafe referred it’s 2008 investigation of the Langley fatalities to Crown prosecutors who laid criminal charges against two companies and four individuals.

In all, during 2010, WorkSafe imposed 256 penalties and levied $3,163,898 in penalties

against 232 employers for violations of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation and the Workers Compensation Act. There were 12 incidents involving a fatality.

“WorkSafe penalizes employers who have not been motivated by other means to comply with their responsibility to ensure their workplaces are healthy and safe,” said Donna Wilson, vice president of the Industry Services & Sustainability Division of WorkSafe BC.

“A penalty is not imposed if an employer is found to have taken all reasonable steps to prevent circumstances that involve violations that can lead to serious injury or death.”

The highest penalty in 2010 was imposed against Penfolds Roofing in West Vancouver which was fined $145,046.98 for an incident in which two of its employees were working on a roof without using fall protection.

WorkSafe said this was a repeated violation of the fall protection requirements as well

as the requirement to provide workers with the information, instruction, training, and supervision necessary to ensure their safety.

Two out of every three penalties were imposed on construction-related businesses. During 2010, WorkSafe issued 41,813 inspection reports, wrote 74,565 orders and conducted 143 investigations into fatal and serious injury cases.

The agency said it has increased the number of compliance and safety officers from 185 in

2004 to 247 in 2010. WorkSafe is an

independent provincial statutory agency governed that serves about 2.3 million workers and more than 200,000 employers.

It was the result of a historic compromise between B.C.’s workers and employers in 1917 where workers gave up the right to sue their employers and fellow workers for injuries on the job, and, in return, employers funded a no-fault insurance system.

MIRANDA GATHERCOLETimes Reporter

Calling all pack rats and disorganized junk col-lectors. A new reality TV show on de-cluttering is searching for participants in the Lower Mainland.

HGTV’s “Consumed” takes families that are over-whelmed with clutter and shows them how to orga-nize their homes and let go of unneeded things.

“We want brave families who are ready to get out of their rut and go through the experiment of a life-time,” said Jill Pollack, host of the show.

Produced by Vancouver company Paperny Films, “Consumed” is set to air on HGTV in the summer and fall of 2011.

According to Pollack, too much clutter is a com-mon problem in Canadian households.

She blames the ways of consumerist society, and says there is a constant flow of items coming into our homes, but not leaving.

“This is what I say all the time, ‘own your stuff, don’t let your stuff own you,’” she said.

Pollack, who has been a professional organizer since 2003, cautions that this TV program is not about hoarders, “that’s a whole other show.”

“It’s for normal families that are overwhelmed with their stuff,” she said.

The entire process takes about one month to complete and involves an assessment of which items in the home are actually needed and a clear-out of those that are not. Afterwards a complete room makeover is done.

“Everyone’s different, I don’t grab things from people’s clutched hands,” said Pollack. “We talk about it, and they have to be the ones letting it go. I can cheerlead all day long but if they aren’t ready, they aren’t ready.”

The main goal of the show goes beyond the clear-ing-out of unneeded things, and searches for the real issues that cause the clutter in the first place.

“Its not just about ‘where do I put my lipstick, and where do I put my keys.’ That’s just not enough for me. I really need to get into the psychology of it,” said Pollack.

“So it’s really about getting to know the families and talking about how they got that way or why they got that way or why they are ready to change now — it’s a real emotional journey as well.”

Pollack says that having too much clutter can affect families and relationships in a negative way. It causes stress, and takes up valuable physical and emotional energy.

“In a lot of families, clutter is literally a boundary, people have so much stuff. They can’t eat together for dinner, or their kitchen is so packed they can’t prepare a healthy meal because there is no room on the counter. I have dealt with clients where they have so much stuff on their bed they only sleep on one half,” she said.

Pollack encourages families to participate in this “kick-start to a lifestyle change.”

“Its like I did lypo on your house. Like serious lypo. It’s like walking out and dropping 10 dress sizes. It’s really dramatic,” she said.

For more information, or to register for the show, contact “Consumed” at [email protected] or 604-873-9777 ext. 251.

JEFF NAGELBlack Press

A drunk driver with his young son in his car nearly hits two police officers and a bystander at the side of the road in Prince George, but is

not held accountable for his actions.A hunter from Merritt is caught poaching

protected big horn sheep near Williams Lake, yet never faces consequences.

A Victoria-area man shoots a puppy belonging to a 12-year-old cancer survivor, is charged with animal cruelty, and ultimately goes unpunished.

These are real cases recently thrown out of court in B.C., allowing those accused of crimes to walk free.

The reason? Unacceptable delays stemming

from chronic provincial government underfunding of the legal system, including courts, judges, prosecutors, support staff and legal aid.

An estimated 2,000 additional criminal cases still stuck in the system have already been delayed so long, they are at risk of being thrown out as well.

And there’s no end in sight.So clogged are the courts — particularly in

Surrey — that judges are increasingly outspoken in denouncing the logjam and lack of resources that threaten the integrity of the entire system.

The Surrey courthouse has been handling all Langley cases since the closure of Langley’s courthouse in the 1990s.

“The backlog is so great and the courts so crowded that in many cases there will be an unreasonable delay should there be even one adjournment on a trial date,” warned Surrey Provincial Court Judge Peder Gulbransen last November, as he threw out the prosecution of an impaired driver who waited 32 months for a trial date.

“Justice delayed is justice denied,” ruled Judge Ronald Webb last year, in staying the case in Cranbrook against an accused cocaine dealer who waited more than two years for a trial expected to take just three hours.

Another troubling example is that of an alleged child rapist in Coquitlam whose trial never went ahead because the system apparently couldn’t afford to translate victims’ statements quickly enough so the accused could

understand them. Police requests for funding for the translations had been denied and the trial was repeatedly delayed.

“It is very disturbing that the value of the complainants’ sexual, physical and emotional integrity

is less than the cost of translation and transcription,” Judge Marion Buller Bennett ruled last year.

She ordered the multiple charges of assault, assault with a weapon, sexual assault, incest and sexual touching of a young person be dropped after a two-year wait.

The judge called it “a tragedy” for all, including the accused — a man who was publicly identified but had no chance to clear his name.

The case is now being reviewed by B.C. Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, who called it a “very grave” situation.

“I’m very concerned about these delays,” she said in an interview.

“You can see the alarm bells being raised in multiple places in British Columbia in the court system.”

•••But judges’ hands are tied.

They are bound by Supreme Court of Canada rulings that firmly limit how long cases can be prolonged before the constitutional right of the accused to a fair trial has been violated and a stay of proceedings must be entered.

Defence lawyers can’t deliberately drag their feet to get a case tossed.

In deciding a delay is unacceptable, judges count only the slowdowns attributed to the system itself or Crown-requested adjournments. They must also conclude the defendant was harmed in some way by the wait.

But B.C.’s case backlog now leaves virtually no room for any kind of error that could cause delay.

Some cases are quashed after as little as 14 months, and the applications become much harder for the Crown to fend off when the accused has waited more than 18 months.

In Surrey, a typical one-day impaired driving trial is now being set for July of 2012 — an immediate

KEVIN DIAKIWBlack Press

Following a B.C. government-imposed hiring freeze, the number of sheriffs in this province has dropped by almost 20 per cent in recent years, forcing some judges to close court sessions.

Last January, three judges in Victoria cancelled the day’s agenda because there were not enough deputy sheriffs on hand.

“This isn’t the first time that’s happened. It’s happened in Nanaimo, it’s happened on other occasions,” said Dean Purdy, chair of Corrections and Sheriffs Services Component of the B.C. Government Employees Union.

“Courts are being delayed and justice is being delayed.”

Over the past few years,

Purdy says a hiring freeze has been invoked by the province, causing a 17-per-cent drop in the number of available sheriffs in B.C., from 520 to 430.

Because of that, vacancies in court are being filled with corrections officers for extra security.

In three separate courthouses in the Fraser Valley, where there are high-security gang trials being held, Purdy said they’ve had to bring in corrections officers to provide back-up in court.

“They’re just getting by by the skin of their teeth,” Purdy said. “Delays in our already crowded courtrooms is a problem. They’re already backed up enough and adding to that is just an ongoing problem.”

B.C.’s Criminal Justice Branch has since hired 24 auxiliary

sheriffs, but Purdy said there will have to be more.

Court cases are becoming more complicated and more dangerous, particularly with

the number of accused gangster trials coming up.

The union has been calling for metal detectors at each of the courtrooms, as is done in Alberta.

Purdy also estimates another 50 to 100 sheriffs

will be needed to keep court proceedings moving.

That would require an annual investment of about $5 million.

While there’s been no firm commitment, the fact judges are shutting down proceedings due to the absence of a sheriff has the government’s attention, Purdy said.

“Nothing was done until we reached the critical point we’re in now.”

Welcome to B.C.’s burgeoning courthouse crunch

Lack of sheriffs contributing to court delaysUnion says

hiring freeze has reduced security

16-month time period that puts the case close to the cusp of being tossed from the start. Year-long-plus delays from the outset are now common at many courthouses around the province.

The judges themselves tabled a damning report last September titled “Justice Delayed” that warned “thousands of cases are at risk” of being dropped due to too much time elapsing between charges being laid and an accused’s day in court.

At that time, there were 17 fewer provincial court judges on the bench than in 2005 — a 12-per-cent decrease.

B.C. is the only province in Canada where the number of sitting judges decreased over that period, despite a growing population, rising caseload and increased complexity of many trials.

Coupled with inadequate numbers of Crown prosecutors, court clerks and sheriffs, the report said, the available court time to handle cases is down significantly and is unable to keep pace

with the rising demand.In Surrey alone, the report said, it would

take three more full-time judges hearing criminal trials for two years to reduce wait times to acceptable levels.

•••Since those findings,

there’s little sign of improvement.

Six new judges have been appointed since October 2010, but others retired so the net increase is just two positions.

Front-line prosecutors, lawyers and court staff believe that’s insufficient to stop the deterioration of the system.

“The situation has gotten worse, undeniably,” said Samiran Lakshman, president of the B.C. Crown Counsel Association. “It’s becoming more dire as the days go on.”

Despite the extra judges, the number of adult criminal cases older than 18 months

in the system climbed from just over 2,000 last fall to more than 2,100 by February, 2011.

Trials aren’t just lined up far into the future but also stacked three and four deep on the same day — dates that Judge Webb called “hopelessly overbooked.”

Staff shortages aren’t the only problem.

Physical courtroom space is in short supply in many areas, a result of the government’s 2002 decision to close 24 courthouses, including ones in Delta, Burnaby, Hope, Maple Ridge and Squamish, increasing the load on neighbouring courts.

Major criminal trials involving organized crime — such as the “Surrey Six” murders

or the UN Gang prosecution — aren’t expected to be lost to delay.

But Lakshman warns time-intensive mega-trials suck up vast amounts of resources for courts, police and prosecutors, leaving less time to dispense justice for more run-of-the-mill criminals.

He argues any money saved by the province through justice system austerity is a false economy, considering the money blown bringing accused criminals to court but not quite to trial.

Cases are being terminated after police have conducted a full investigation and submitted charge recommendations. After Crown has read the file and approved charges. After charges have been sworn in court. And after many appearances before a judge, prosecutor, clerk and sheriff — often with various witnesses waiting to testify.

“It’s a complete waste of money,” Lakshman said. “It adds lunacy on top of a ridiculous situation.”

“Courts are being delayed and

justice is being delayed.”

People who own property in Langley’s southwest corner of Brookswood/Fernridge have convinced Township council to take another look at mothballed plans to rede-velop the mostly rural region into something more urban.

Something like Walnut Grove with its mix of green space and different types of housing, said Cam Gair, spokesman for the owners of 138 properties that total 393 acres of land within the area bordered by 44 Avenue to the north, 210 Street to the east, 196 Street to the west, and 20 Avenue to the south.

Gair recently presented a petition from those property owners to coun-cil, noting they represent more than 80 per cent of the specific section of Brookswood/Fernridge between 196 and 206 Streets and 28 and 36 Avenues that was slated for substantial redevelopment under several yet-to-be-realized plans.

The proposals go all the way back to 1987, when a community development plan was approved for the whole area.

It called for more than doubling the popu-lation from 13,500 to 35,500.

But in a region where many existing houses were on large lots and used septic tanks, proper sewer lines would be needed to ser-vice the many new homes on smaller lots.

Sewage service was lacking, so only a small

part of the plan ever came to fruition.In 1999, several smaller-scale neighbour-

hood plans were approved for the area, but again a lack of sewer and water services got in the way.

Now, there is sewer service available because of the High Point development in South Langley, and the property owners believe the time is right to revive the previ-ously-stalled plans.

Gair says building up Brookswood/Fern-ridge would give people more options than

Langley’s Willoughby area which is currently bearing the brunt of new home construction.

“Not everyone wants to live in Willoughby,” Gair observed.

“There are a lot of peo-ple who want to live in Brookswood and Murray-ville.”

But with the plans effec-tively on hold, they can’t.

Gair said some people are buying houses in those areas and tearing them down to build new

homes because there are no building lots available.

Ramin Seifi, the Township’s chief devel-opment planner, told council that while the existing plans are out of date in many respects, they could be modernized without resorting to a full-scale planning review.

That would be easier to handle, said Seifi, who warned the Township doesn’t have enough planners to work on Brookswood/Fernridge without pulling people off other projects.

“We currently do not have the staff,” Seifi said in response to a question by councillor Charlie Fox.

Council voted to have planners do a more detailed assessment and report back.

Gair was pleased with the decision.“I’m very positive about the comments

that were made,” he told The Times.“We think the door is partly ajar now.”He thinks “tweaking” the old plans is sen-

sible, because the proposed locations for parks, schools and business areas are unlikely to change.

What will change, Gair believes, are envi-ronmental protection requirements and housing densities will almost certainly be higher .

He says updating the plans, if approved, will probably take a year to two years.

“We certainly don’t expect a plan that’s been sitting or 25 years to evolve and blossom and get approved overnight,” Gair said.

“It’s a large project, it’s going to require a lot of staff time, and its going to be expen-sive.”

When we make record profi ts, we share.

$23.5 million

will be shared with our members and communities this year.

Great news deserves to be passed along. And so do profi ts. Every year, Vancity shares an equivalent of 30%

of its net profi ts with members and communities through our Shared Success program. So that’s why we’re

pleased to announce that we will share a record $23.5 million this year, our biggest payout ever. Here’s a

breakdown of what our members will receive:

• 6.00% dividend on membership shares

• 1.46% bonus on deposit interest earned*

• 1.46% rebate on loan interest paid*

• 0.05% bonus on investments**

The simple calculation is, the more business you do with Vancity, the more you get back.

*Earned in 2010. **Average monthly balance.


As the federal parliament slid once again into

partisan mayhem, for-mer finance minister John Manley was on CBC television, making me wish he would bring his voice of reason back to Ottawa.

Liberal and NDP sup-porters had been taking turns with accusations that the Conservatives’ corporate tax cuts only help the rich.

“That’s stuff that we used to hear in the ’70s,” Manley said. “I thought that people had grown away from that.”

He then patiently explained that the key holdings most in peo-ples’ retirement plans are bank, petroleum and other blue-chip stocks. His Liberal government’s strategy of competing for business investment in a global economy has wisely been continued under Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Yet much of our politi-cal discourse at all levels of

government still imagines class warfare between tycoons in silk top hats and a ragged, powerless peasantry.

For B.C. voters, 2011 is shaping up as the most politically empowered year ever. The May 2 federal election now gets in line with a by-election for Premier Christy Clark, a referen-dum on the harmonized sales tax, municipal elections in November and potentially, an early provincial election as well.

Will all these con-tests raise the level of debate? So far it doesn’t look good.

This fourth federal election in seven years could have had one benefit. But Clark did not see fit to abandon the hare-brained scheme to rush through the HST referendum in June, and now the B.C. govern-ment risks losing the

tax argument amid all the noise.

If the HST vote had been left to

September, more people might come to appreciate that taxes on business investment and income are going out of style. An Angus Reid poll came out last week finding that one third of B.C. residents would now vote to keep the HST, compared to 54 per cent who would take B.C. back to the 1970s.

Another contest being overshadowed is the B.C. NDP leadership, and that’s a ’70s show as well. Raising the minimum wage to $10.25 isn’t good enough. Candidate Nicho-las Simons tried to raise his profile by suggesting that it should be hiked 50 per cent, to $12.

Heck, why not raise it to $20? If you’re stuck in the ’70s and can’t com-prehend the downside of state-imposed prosper-ity, why not just make poverty history?

Federal NDP leader Jack Layton informed an anxious nation that he wouldn’t support the Conservative budget because it doesn’t “lift all seniors out of pov-erty” or “create” enough doctors so everyone can have one.

Cuba has “created” plenty of doctors. Mind you, they get paid $25 a month in addition to their food ration cards, so perhaps that socialist Utopia should raise its minimum wage.

I watched another ’70s show last week, attending the B.C. Teachers’ Federation convention at the Victoria Conference Centre.

Before Education Minister George Abbott arrived, delegates passed a typically self-righteous resolution demanding all levels of government

immediately get rid of poverty. How? Create poverty reduction plans with measurable goals.

Right, kind of like those five-year plans for tractor production the Soviet Union had back in the ’70s.

Once Abbott arrived to hold out the olive branch, the BCTF’s usual demands resumed. More teachers, more support staff and raises of 10 per cent or more.

Does anyone on the BCTF executive know how to synthesize infor-mation? Can’t they see a connection between the big raises and staff increases they demand and what’s available for other programs?

There’s a clue to our stagnant political debate. It’s largely formed in public schools.

Senettis (suh-net-tees) are fairly new and look like futuristic neon Gerbera Daisies. They come in a myriad of bright colours and will bloom for months. But the best part is, because they are so new, people are bound to ask you what they are and you can reply, “Why they’re Senettis, dear. How ignorant of you not to know.”

What makes Peninsula Runners the best? Three words:

Superior Customer Service. Big box athletic stores cannot

begin to compete with this independent outlet where

outstanding customer service is a hallmark of the store. A

common misconception about Peninsula Runners is that

it’s a store only for the elite runner. This isn’t true. It doesn’t

matter if you’ve just gotten started on the road to fi tness or

if you’ve been at it awhile, the staff at Peninsula Runners are

there to help you meet all your fi tness goals.

Peninsula Runners’ slogan — Walk, Run, Jog, Play —and

their motto ‘we fi t feet’ describes exactly what this store

is all about. The store is focused on running but there is a

wide variety of footwear for every activity. The staff will fi t

you with a shoe specially designed for each activity. Each

member of the staff is trained to make sure that you are

comfortable and most importantly that the running shoe

is the most suitable for your foot’s unique characteristics.

The large range of footwear carried includes running shoes,

cross trainers, walking shoes, court shoes, sandals and

casual dress. The store carries a good selection of hard to fi t

sizes in each category.

Paul Williams, a 1990 Good Will Games gold medalist and

three times Olympian, opened the fi rst Peninsula Runners

store in 1996 in White Rock. Phil Ellis came on board in 1997

and he opened the second store in Walnut Grove in 2001.

An avid runner, Phil started running in high school. He won

the Vancouver Sun Run in 1991 and has a ½ marathon best

of 63 minutes. “Running is what I know and what I love!”

he said.

Ellis is joined by Kathie Schellenberg who is the manager

and clinic leader. Ellis describes Kathie as a role model

for his customers. She began running a decade ago after

having had four children. She says she began running to get

healthy, get fi t and stay sane. “It’s a great day for a run”, is

her motto.

Employing a staff of six people, both Phil and Kathie are

proud to point out that the people who work at the store

are all athletes and some are coaches. “They all run or are

involved in running,” they said.

In addition to fi tting your feet, the store is heavy into

training and helping people be the best that they can be.

The store conducts running clinics throughout the year. The

clinics range in expertise from learning to run to competing

in half and full marathons.

The store sponsors and organizes community events. They

are one of the sponsors for this year’s Vancouver Sun Run

which takes place on April 17th. Peninsula Runners also

organizes a series of Fraser Valley Trail runs. The Aldergrove

Mud Run and Houston Trail footrace are two very popular

ones in this area.

In 2003 Peninsula Runners organized the fi rst Fort Langley

½ Marathon and 5 KM run. This popular event grows every

year and this year it will be on July 24th. For more details

call or visit the store. Watch their website at www.peninsu-

larunners.com for updates.

This year they premiered the much anticipated Golden Ears

Half Marathon and 10KM Run. The run was a great success

and featured a great route while also raising money for 2 lo-

cal charities: The Langley School District’s Breakfast Program

and Friends in Need Food Bank in Pitt Meadows.

As well as the best selection of athletic footwear the store

carries a wide assortment of sports accessories including

body glide, pedometers, speed distance monitors, heart

monitors and more. The store has a large variety of fi tness

clothing as well. Also available in the store is a large

selection of magazines that bring you the most up to date

information.

If you’ve just begun your fi tness journey or if you’ve been

fi t all of your life come in and talk to the friendly people at

Peninsula Runners in Walnut Grove. You’ll be glad you did.

At Peninsula Runners, they don’t just talk the talk they truly

walk the walk and more importantly they run the run.

Peninsula Runners is located at 1-20349 -88 Avenue in Walnut Grove Store hours are: Sunday: noon to 5, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 10 to 6, Thursday and Friday, 10 to 7 and Saturday 10 – 6. The store is closed for some of the statutory holidays. Telephone 604-888-1338

BRENDA ANDERSONLangley Times

It will be an opportunity to see a Langley that hasn’t existed for generations.

Painter Brian Croft will host a show of his work — past and present — at Frames West Gallery in Murrayville on Saturday, April 9.

For the Langley artist, however, the emphasis is very much on the past.

Many of his images predate his own life by several decades, but it’s clear that Croft, who first picked up a brush about 15 years ago, has discovered a few favourite subjects along the way.

His canvases are dominated by historic scenes of urban and rural life in the Lower Mainland, from a busy night on Granville Street in downtown Vancouver, circa 1962 (the central piece of the April 9 event) to picturesque winter scenes set in turn-of-the-century Langley.

He started out in 1996 depicting life close to home — showing many of the community’s most famous heritage buildings as they looked 80 or even 100 years ago, from Christmastime in Milner circa 1915, to Murrayville’s historic Five Corners (featuring Porter’s Store, Murrayville Cash Grocery and the former Traveler’s Hotel) to the iconic Fort Langley Community Hall.

When he’d exhausted his hometown material, Croft began to cast his eye outward.

“The biggest thing, in 1910, the Interurban opened the Valley,” he said.

“The little boy in me got wrapped around the train part of it.”

His work tracked the Interurban from Chilliwack, through New Westminster and into Vancouver, where he then found himself transfixed by the night life and dark rain-slicked city streets.

Theatres, diners, drive-throughs and classic cars with two-toned paint jobs, copious amounts of chrome and arcing tail fins have taken over his more recent paintings.

It reminds people of their teen years, he said of the ‘60s-era work.

The guys like the cars, the girls like the romance of it all.

“At shows (couples) will stand with tears in their eyes, holding hands,” he said.

The paintings take them back 50 years to first dates and marriage proposals.

“I discovered by accident, this

wellspring of romance,” said Croft.After 15 years, most of his paintings

have long since been sold and disappeared into private collections.

“No one sees them anymore, including me,” he said.

Luckily, Croft a former airline and RCAF fighter pilot, has kept meticulous records from the beginning, taking photographs for slides and logging the details of all his work for his files.

“Being a pilot, I’m very fastidious about recording everything,” he said.

So even without the originals, he’ll have

plenty to show for his efforts at the April 9 open house.

“People come to meet the artist and to put a face to what they are seeing in the frame,” said Croft.

He will bring along an easel and his latest work in progress — not that he expects to get much done.

Normally, he’d attend a show and chat with people a few at a time, answering questions about his work.

“It’s not a very efficient way to talk to people,” he said.

So this time, Croft plans to incorporate

a 15-minute power point, which he’ll show at the top of each hour, to give an overview of his work for the past 15 years.

Much of what he plans to show and talk about will focus on the immediate area — which includes many of his earliest pieces.

“It goes back to the beginning of my journey,” he said. “(The slide show) is a powerful way of telling my story.”

Croft will be at Frames West Gallery in Murrayville Square on 222 Street, April 9, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

A peek into Langley’s past

A Parade Marching Backwards in Time is the 2011 Trinity Western University Senior Art Show, run-ning from March 31 to April 30.

The exhibition, presented for the third consecutive year in partnership with the Centennial Museum, will showcase paintings, photography, sculpture and inter-active installations by TWU senior art students.

“The process that happens within each student is remark-able,” says TWU associate profes-sor Doris H. Auxier.

“They usually start with broad issues that they care about. Through many trial works, and hours of critique with peers and faculty, their final pieces carry a confident voice that is unique to them.”

For the past four years, the stu-dents have learned and practised within a studio setting, while also studying art history and theory, and a variety of other academic disciplines.

They have explored an assort-ment of traditional and contem-

porary artistic media, and have developed distinctive abilities to conceive and execute technically demanding, creative work.

In Marching Backwards, the stu-dents pay homage to their own growth by tackling themes such as literature, philosophy, psychology, history, and communications — themes that go beyond mere art in practice. Notions of memory, the production of fear, and profoundly personal narratives are demon-strated by the senior students — a diverse group unified by their abil-

ity to express their unique experi-ences, to comment on humanity, and to engage with social issues.

Opening night at Langley Cen-tennial Museum will take place from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on March 31.

There will be food and drink and an opportunity to speak with the artists.

Langley Centennial Museum is located at 9135 King St. and is open from 10 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday to Saturday and from 1 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. on Sunday. Call 604-888-3922.

Brûlée is basically French for “burnt.”

But loosely translated to English it means, “Holy cow, that’s delicious.”

I have to tell you honestly, I have been a rice pudding hater for many, many years. My fear of rice pudding is deeply rooted and absolutely justified.

I am pretty sure for many years of my childhood I was fed rice pudding made from skim milk, raisins and minute rice, and for some reason I had it confused with tapioca.

I think it was a texture thing, but I was completely traumatized by both of them, and by the time I was old enough to make my own food choices, both tapioca and rice puddings fell completely off my list in favour of other, more reasonable pudding options like chocolate, butterscotch and vanilla.

I was certain I could have lived my entire life without ever eating them again. I truly never understood the appeal until I was recently introduced to my new “BFF,” rice pudding brûlée.

Borrowing from the classic dessert, crème brûlée, this dish

of pure creamy goodness has a hard candy topping — a crisp contrast to the soft, sweet fragrant rice. The pudding was scented with coconut and cardamom, creating that magical balance of savoury and sweet.

Now, I will admit, I was tricked.

When I saw the crispy brûléed topping, I was positive it was a crème brûlée and when my spoon hit the side of the sugar and it made that incredible sound like thin ice cracking on a thawing lake, I kind of blacked out for just a second in anticipation of what was to come.

My spoon went deep into the dish and pulled out a serving. I put it into my mouth and began to savour it.

It was only then that I realized that there was a texture to the crème brûlée that it shouldn’t have.

It was smooth yet grainy, and in the voice of Homer Simpson I had a total “doh!” moment when I realized I was eating

rice pudding and completely loving it.

My brain froze. Imagine my shock, my horror, my complete and utter surprise. I

was angry at first that I allowed myself to be tricked by the sexy brûléed topping, that I had fallen for its charms so easily.

But once I was in the clutches of the pudding, there was no turning back. It was just really, really good. And whether I was having a weak moment or it really was one of the best things I had ever eaten I will never know, because that dish was just so darn small it disappeared almost instantly.

I am a changed woman, I have turned over a new leaf, I am no longer a rice pudding hater – I am a rice pudding lover, and you should be, too.

Try it again for the very first time. I have modified the recipe and posted it at www.wellseasoned.ca/blog.

Please, report back.

Tonight (Wednesday, March 30) Shot in the Dark, Langley’s Independent Film Night, digs deep into a failing marriage, as it presents the critically acclaimed Blue Valentine.

Directed by Derek Cianfrance (who, coinciden-tally once directed a documentary titled Shots in the Dark) Blue Valentine tells the story of Dean (Ryan Gosling) and Cindy (Michelle Williams) a married couple with a young daughter.

Hoping to save their once passionate marriage they travel to a “future suite” at a tacky motel, flash-ing back to when they first discovered each other fell in love and were full of hope.

As the film progresses, it jumps between the two

timelines and begins looking for the point when the couple’s love began to vanish.

There are no bad guys here, just real people dealing with real life, and a young child caught in the middle.

All films are screened at Colossus theatres at 200 Street and 88 Avenue. Start time is 7:30 p.m.

Access Shot in the Dark information on Face-book by doing a group search for “Shot in the Dark/Langley Film Nights”.

A list of all previous films screened is now avail-able on both Facebook and on the organization’s website at www.shotinthedark.ca.

Tickets at the door $10.

Canadian Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams star in Blue Valentine, the story of a couple trying to recapture the feelings that brought them together. Shot in the Dark Independent Film Nights will screen the feature tonight at Colossus Cinema. Start time is 7:30 p.m.

The Langley Lightning were likely running on fumes by the time the championship game rolled around.

The midget girls’ hockey team was playing their sixth game in four days. And while all teams faced that tough task, the Lightning had just 10 players and one goalie at their disposable.

But that could not slow the squad down, as they edged Richmond 3-2 in the gold-medal match at the provincial championships held in Windermere Valley this past week.

With the score tied at two in the second period, Sara Boehringer, one of the leading scorers all season, struck for the game winner.

Keara Graham had opened the scoring 34 seconds in, and Laura McPhedran had Langley’s second goal.

“The girls were pretty gassed,” admitted coach Vince Nelles. “Going from sea level to 2,600 feet above really took its toll.

“We felt sluggish.”But the Lightning overcame those obstacles

to lay claim to the provincial banner for the Langley Girls Ice Hockey Association.

“To win was just incredible,” Nelles said.“I don’t think there was a girl who wasn’t

crying; just a huge embrace and a hug,” he said. “I have never been squeezed and crushed by 15- to 17-year-old girls so hard.”

While most of the competition had a full bench to work with, Langley had just nine skaters and one goalie for the first game and their tenth player finally made it to the tournament during the second period of the first game after some travel headaches.

They were also out a back-up goaltender after she broke her collarbone in practice two days prior to the tournament.

With just six forwards and four defencemen, the players would be back on the ice every second shift.

“(Other teams) didn’t think it was possible for us to last,” Nelles admitted.

Even before the season began, the Lightning faced adversity.

A couple of players quit the team because they felt the Lightning were not going to win, Nelles said. And throughout the season, the team suffered a couple of season-ending injuries, depleting their roster.

But, the coach said, despite an up and down season which saw them place fifth in league standings, he knew the Lightning were capable of going all the way.

It wasn’t always easy — “they made mistakes, but they didn’t repeat them, they turned those mistakes into lessons” — but the team displayed great hockey smarts.

“That is what we were trying to do, if we can’t outwork them in some areas, let’s outsmart them,” he said.

They opened the tournament with a 2-2 tie against Cranbrook, before defeating Kamloops 3-1.

Playing two games on the same day, the Lightning responded with a 3-1 win over Nanaimo and then a 5-0 victory over the host Windermere Valley squad.

That latter win was huge as the winner would have booked a spot in the

When most hockey players strive for awards, they aim for the big boys: most valuable player, leading scorer, etc.

Usually not on the forefront is gunning for the most sportsmanlike player award.

“Yeah, I still take some grief from the guys in the locker room,” admits Brad McGowan.

McGowan, a high-scoring forward for the Surrey Eagles, was named the B.C. Hockey League’s most sportsmanlike player for the Coastal Conference when the league handed out its year-end awards, based on voting down by the coaches.

The 20-year-old from Langley has mixed emotions about being tabbed with that particular honour.

“Probably when I am older, I will look back on it,” he said.

“Right now I am getting ripped on a little bit by the guys.

“They are saying I am the softest guy in the league.”

McGowan’s game is not the type that relies on over-powering his opponent — think Todd Bertuzzi bulling his way to the front of the net — but rather is the type who thinks the game and sees a play develop, using finesse instead of brute force.

Regardless of how he does it, McGowan, a lanky six-foot centre who weighs 175 pounds, has always shown a knack for piling up the points when given the opportunity.

“He’s done it consistently,” said his coach Matt Erhart, earlier this season. “He hasn’t had that 18-point weekend where he gets named player of the week.

“He just quietly puts up one or two points a game and goes about his business.”

“That seems to be his MO — he just comes to work every night,” the coach added.

“I have always been a skill guy; I am not the biggest, so I don’t throw a lot of hits,” he said. “And I was always more of a playmaker: I didn’t have the best of shots, so I didn’t score a lot of goals (but) I can bang them in from

the crease every once in a while.”He may have been selling himself

short.During the regular season, McGowan

finished tied for second in the BCHL scoring race, with 36 goals and 53 assists for 89 points.

The success carried over to the post-season as McGowan had

20 points (seven goals, 13 assists) in 14 playoff games. But unfortunately, McGowan was slowed in the Coastal Conference championship series, and the Eagles lost four games to two to the Powell River Kings.

McGowan was held to a single goal and an assist in the first four games before missing the final two contests of the series with a concussion.

Scoring, when given the opportunity, is nothing new to McGowan.

Two years ago, playing junior B with the Richmond Sockeyes, he lost the PIJHL scoring title on the last day of the season, finishing with 36 goals and 55 assists in 48 games.

McGowan’s spectacular season came to an end over the weekend, and the Langley Minor Hockey product is off to the collegiate ranks in the fall.

championship final against Richmond.

Langley and Richmond still had a round-robin game to play on the tournament’s final morning, but with both teams knowing they would see each other that night with the gold medal on the line, it was a fairly lackluster contest with Richmond prevailing 3-2.

The rematch, with the championship on the line, had the same score, but this time in Langley’s favour.

The team received contributions from throughout the line-up on their march to the championship.

With back-up goaltender Brianna Tham out after suffering a broken collarbone two days before provincials, Kassandra Johnson was more than up to the challenge.

“She seemed to get stronger every game,” Nelles said. “She just handled the pressure so well.”

The defensive corps of Samantha Rogers, Amber Gudmundson, Christina Mavritsakis and Laura McPhedran got stronger as the tournament went on.

Nelles said the opposition was rushing the Lightning

defence in the beginning of the tournament, and the Langley blue-liners were hurrying their decisions.

“But as the tournament went on, they made better and better decisions and didn’t panic.”

The coach’s daughter, Alyssa Nelles, led by example as one of the team’s leaders.

“If there was a shot that had to be blocked, or something needed to get done, she either did it, or made sure it got done,” he said, adding his daughter had eight or nine fresh bruises from sacrificing her body.

The coach was also impressed by the play of undersized but speedy winger Samantha Schwartz, who was relentless on the forecheck, using her speed to generate pressure and turnovers.

“She had a tremendous amount of energy and great speed. She seemed to gain confidence the tougher the games got,” he said.

The Lightning also got great contributions from Tessa Ratzlaff and Chelsea Wilson, a pair of bantam-aged players who chose to play a level up rather than go to Abbotsford since Langley did not have enough numbers to field a rep bantam squad.

Kaitlan McClurg, who has been out the majority of the season with a concussion, made the trip to provincials, helping out as a statistician.

Karly Knudsen and Rae-Ann McCarthy did not make the trip.

It was a third-place finish for Langley at the peewee tier 1 provincial hockey championships in Prince George.

The Eagles went 3-1-1, with their tie coming against the eventual champion Burnaby Winter Club.

Langley’s offence was humming all tournament long as they twice hit double digits in goals, and finished with 34 goals over the five games.

Scores included: Langley 10 Prince George 1; Langley 11 Nanaimo 4; North Shore Winter Club 4 Langley 3; Langley 5 Burnaby Winter Club 5; Langley 5 Kelowna 3.

And at the midget tier 3 championships in Cranbrook, the Langley Eagles went 2-2-1.

Langley lost their first two games, before bouncing back with a pair of wins and a tie to finish sixth in the 11-team tournament.

Scores included: Cranbrook 5 Langley 4; Sooke 4 Langley 2; Langley 7 Dawson Creek 3; Langley 8 Whitehorse 3; Langley 2 100 Hundred Mile House 2.

Geoff Courtnall scored his fair share of overtime goals to make Lower Main-land hockey fans happy.

But this time, it was the former NHLer’s son, Adam Courtnall doing the honours, and the goal eliminated the Trinity Western Spartans from the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League playoffs on Friday night.

The overtime goal gave the Victoria Vikes a 3-2 victory on Friday night at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre in Burnaby, knocking the Spartans out in the double knockout format.

The Spartans had lost their opener, 9-3 to that same Victoria squad two days earlier.

Trinity Western managed to stay alive with a 4-3 win over the Okanagan Coyotes.

Trevor Edwards had two goals and an assist in that game, while Trevor Beau-pre and Matt Chaput had a goal apiece.

Brendan Elenko and Brandon Long scored in the second game against Vic-toria, while in the opener, Josh Stephen-son had a pair and Benton Nickel the other.

Langley Lightning forward David Field (front) beats a member of the Port Moody Meteors during a U13 soccer match at Willoughby Community Park. The Lightning struck down the Meteors 2-0.

He made the move to junior A and put up some respectable numbers, 46 points.

This year’s success is a product of taking advantage of the opportunity.

“I was more of a third- (or) fourth-line guy last year and didn’t get the power-play time I’ve got this year,” he said. “I didn’t really quite expect to be putting up this many points, but it’s been a little bit of luck, and the coach has thrown me out there on the ice a lot and I’ve taken advantage of the opportunity.”

“Over the summer, we challenged him to show up in great shape,” Erhart said. “You could tell that he put a lot of

work in (and) he came into training camp with a lot of confidence.”

It also helps to have great chemistry with his primary linemate, Richard Vanderhoek, a fellow Langley Minor Hockey

alum.Vanderhoek,

a year younger, and McGowan would be teammates every second season through their minor hockey days, and created instant offence when united.

Vanderhoek was second on the Eagles with 26 goals and 45 assists, and despite being eliminated from the playoffs, Vanderhoek leads the post-season scoring race with a dozen goals in 16 games.

With McGowan’s junior days behind him, he readies for

the next challenge: collegiate hockey.

Earlier this season, he verbally committed to the Rochester Institute of Technology Tigers.

And he knows he will be staring over once again, trying to work his way into a top six role with the New York-based university.

“It is always like that in hockey, you don’t always start as a top guy, you have to work your way up.

“It is better that way, you have to earn your way and it creates more character when you have to work for it rather than have it given to you,” he said.

McGowan isn’t ruling out playing for a living either, if an opportunity presents itself down the road.

“If pro hockey is there, I would love to play for a living but getting my degree will be a big thing too.”
