The man suspected of settinga fire in a family home wasto appear in court Monday.by Matthew [email protected]

Crown prosecutors have laid 13charges against a man suspectedof attacking his wife and daugh-ter and setting the family houseablaze in a quiet Langley neigh-bourhood.

Andre Richard, arrestedThursday near Fernie, in south-eastern B.C., was officiallycharged with three counts ofattempted murder, arson, breakand enter, four counts of assaultwith a weapon, two counts ofassault causing bodily harm,and two counts of breach ofrecognizance, said Langley RCMPspokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks.

Richard was scheduled to bereturned to Langley to appear incourt Monday, April 7 followinghis arrest in the interior.

“This was a tragic event whichthankfully now has a a success-ful conclusion,” said Supt. DerekCooke, head of the LangleyRCMP detachment. “I would liketo express my thanks for the roleplayed by the media, the generalpublic, and in particular the indi-vidual who brought Richard topolice attention.”

The violent incident in the earlyhours of Wednesday morningsaw the home of Richard’s familygutted by fire.

Police and firefighters inLangley Township were calledto an incident in the 19600 blockof Wakefield Drive Wednesdaymorning.

Marks said a man broke intothe home, set the house on fire,and then attacked the woman.

The woman’s daughter tried tointervene and she was struck inthe chest with the same weaponor weapons.

The woman, herdaughter and her sonall managed to escapethe house before it wasgutted by the fire. Thewoman and her daugh-ter were both hospital-ized with their injuriesbut were expected tosurvive.

Police announcedthat they believed theattacker to have beenthe woman’s estrangedhusband. By the late afternoon,an arrest warrant for Richard hadbeen issued for breaching a no-contact order that banned himfrom being in the presence of hiswife.

The two were separated anddescribed as estranged by police,

who said they were aware ofdomestic violence incidents.

In the aftermath of the fire, itwas uncertain for some hours

whether Richard hadactually fled the burn-ing home, or if he haddied in the fire. Policehad begun searchingfor him already underthe assumption he wasstill alive. Alerts wereissued for his vehicleand his photo wasreleased to the press.

A vehicle Richard hadbeen reportedly drivingwas later pulled over

near Fernie thanks to a reportfrom a passerby that the vehiclewas being driven erratically. Thecaller thought there might be adrunk driver behind the wheel.

Richard was arrested peacefullyafter the local police brought in acrisis negotiator.

FlowerpowerA yellow flower pinned to ajacket or shirt marks a sign ofsupport for the fight againstcancer.by Matthew [email protected]

The yellow daffodils that mark an annual drive to wipe outcancer are adorning the lapels of Langley’s two mayors thismonth.

For Daffodil Month, organized by the Canadian Cancer Society,Township Mayor Jack Froese and City Mayor Ted Schaffer wereboth pinned by CCS volunteers last week.

Pat Ziola, a seven-year veteran volunteer for the CancerSociety, was on hand to pin the daffodil on Schaffer lastWednesday.

Ziola has lost her mother, in-laws, and cousins to cancer overthe years.

Dianne McCafferty, a volunteer and cancer survivor, pinnedthe plastic flower on Froese on Thursday.

This will be a big year for the Canadian Cancer Society inLangley, with Daffodil Month gearing up, and the 10th anniver-sary of the Langley Relay For Life coming up this June.

Above & Beyond Your Expectations

LangleyAdvanceA2 Tue sday, Ap r i l 8 , 2014

1. A strike vote is a normaloccurrence during negotiationsof collective agreements andhelps apply pressure to bothparties during negotiations.Our hope is that a settlementwill be reached without jobaction being necessary.

2. Whatever happens next willdepend entirely on progress atthe negotiating table.

3. If a first stage of job actiondoes become necessary, it willhave no impact on students’learning. Teachers willcontinue to be in classroomsteaching, preparing lessons,and assessing students. Theywill continue participatingin voluntary activities.Teachers will also continuewriting report cards andcommunicating with parents.

4. If at some point talks stall orgovernment won’t make fairand reasonable proposals,rotating strikes would be thenext step.

5. We’vemade a commitmentthat a full-scale strike willrequire another province-widevote of the BCTFmembership.

Parents and guardiansLike you, BC’s teachers only want the best for your children, our students. You likely haveseen or heard reports about current negotiations between teachers and the ProvincialGovernment.

Despite bargaining for more than a year with the government through the BC PublicSchool Employers’ Association, there has been little progress. We have been very patientwaiting for government to provide the necessary funding so we can move forward inachieving a negotiated collective agreement at the bargaining table. Instead, they haveattempted to remove, yet again, the important provisions for class size and compositionand minimum levels of specialist teachers that the BC Supreme Court restored. As aresult, in early March 2014, teachers voted 89% in favour of job action.

On March 6, 2014, after the strike vote was announced, BCTF President Jim Iker spoketo parents through the media. Here is some of what he had to say:

As teachers, we do not take job action, or even a vote on job action, lightly. We care deeplyabout our schools, our students, and their families. Many of us are parents or grandparentsourselves. I myself am a proud grandfather.

BC teachers remain committed to negotiating a deal at the table. That is our goal. But onceagain, it depends on developments at the negotiating table. I encourage you to reach outto your local MLA and tell them towork with us to get that deal negotiated at the table.

Iwant to thankourparents for thework that theydowith their childrenand their support of us.

How parents can get involved• Talk to your child’s teacher(s) about the supports they need to help our students succeed.

• Check out the new websitewww.aFairDeal.cawhere you can quickly and easily “Haveyour say” in a letter to the Minister of Education and your MLA. The site also providesquick access to lots of information on the issues around bargaining.

• Read the current BCTF brochure with information for parents. A Fair Deal for Teachers,Better Support for Kids highlights the facts behind our bargaining objectives. Find it in thetop graphic section of the BCTF home page atwww.bctf.ca

• Speak out about your experiences in our public schools and how things could be evenbetter. Discuss the funding and supports your children and their schools deserve.

• Talk to friends, relatives, and others in the community about the importance of anagreement that is fair for teachers and that will provide better support for our students.

Amessage from theLangley Teachers’Association

Five quick factsabout potentialjob action:

Be assured that BC teachers are strongly committed to reaching a negotiatedagreement with government.We truly appreciate all the support we receive fromparents to help us achieve this goal.

A forum held by KinderMorgan attracted a fairnumber of foes of itspipeline plans.by Matthew [email protected]

The TransMountain pipelineexpansion plans drew hundredsof people to an open househeld by pipeline owner KinderMorgan on Wednesday night.

The meeting was to talk toresidents of the region, includingLangley and Surrey, about thevarious proposed routes of theexpanded pipeline.

Kinder Morgan has appliedto the National Energy Boardto almost triple capacity on itsoil pipeline that runs from nearEdmonton to Burnaby, with partof its length passing throughAbbotsford, Langley, and Surrey.

The $5.4 billion proposed pro-ject would increase the amountof oil flowing through the pipesfrom 300,000 barrels per day to890,000 per day.

They also plan to reroute thepipe around some neighbour-hoods that have developed overthe intervening years.

The meeting Wednesdayshowed the possible routes andallowed locals to comment onthem, for feedback and informa-tion that can go to the NationalEnergy Board, said LizetteParsons Bell, a Kinder Morganspokesperson.

In Langley, proposed changesin the route to avoid heavilybuilt up areas in Walnut Grovehave already attracted a greatdeal of interest from some resi-dents. Farm owners aroundthe Fort Langley floodplainexpressed their displeasure ata possible route there, as didhomeowners near another pos-sible route, which would runthrough the Redwoods GolfCourse, a future Township park.

Quite a few of the residents atWednesday’s meeting were not

happy with the pipeline expan-sion in general or its proposedroute.

The Mancinellis, Jerry and Joy,are worried that the pipeline willblow a hole in their retirementplans.

“I always want-ed to live with800,000 barrelsof bitumen a daygoing through mybackyard,” saidJoy.

The FraserHeights couplewere told that thepipeline could be on their prop-erty.

“I’m worried about my prop-erty value,” said Jerry.

Jerry is 80, and the coupleare starting to think about sell-ing their longtime home to adeveloper so they can afford a

comfortable retirement.“It’s our life savings,” Joy

said of their property. Who willwant to develop there with anoil pipeline on the property, shesaid.

Walnut Grove’sGayle Doren wasalso unhappy thatthe tax benefitsadd up to verylittle comparedto the potentialdownsides.

“Based oneverything I’veread and heard,

it’s completely unconscionable,”said Doren.

Long term costs and potentialspills worry her.

“It’s the oil companies thatwill benefit, not this commun-ity,” she said.

Marty Vander Zalm was also

worried about the amount thatcould spill, compared to theamount that could spill from atanker truck or train car haulingoil.

“There’s nothing in it for theCanadian people,” said VanderZalm.

Several other people at theevent said they were there pri-marily to get more information.

The National Energy Boardis planning to start its hearingson the pipeline expansion inJanuary next year. Fewer than20 per cent of those who appliedto become intervenors havereceived that status, the NEBannounced this week. About 400intervenors will be joined byanother 1,250 people given com-menter status with the NEB.

According to Kinder Morganstaff, at least 140 people visitedthe forum in Langley.

Papa the lynx had to be putdown after a cancer diagnosis.

The Greater Vancouver Zoo haseuthanized an elderly lynx thatwas once someone’s pet. Papa, theEurasian lynx, was put down April 3after a few months of illness.

“The decision to euthanize wasbased on Papa’s difficulty breath-ing and inability to swallow,” saidmanager Jody Henderson. “Biopsyresults of a mass in the nasal cavityconfirmed adenocarcinoma [can-cer].”

Staff first noticed discharge fromPapa’s nose in early February.

He was treated with different anti-biotics, anti-fungal, and anti-inflam-matory medicines. Papa was about19 years old. The median life expect-

ancy for a lynxis 15 years.

“It is alwaysextremely dif-ficult losinga member ofour zoo family.Papa will bemissed dearlyby those whocared for himand those whoconnected withhim through their visits to the zoo,”she said.

The zoo has rescued numerousexotic animals over the years includ-ing Papa, who was rescued from aprivate owner back in 2000 in poorcondition.

The Greater Vancouver Zoo doesnot encourage individuals to keep

exotic animals suchas a lynx for a pet.Lynx are typicallyskittish, very privateand solitary animals,in addition to hav-ing specialized needswhich the averageperson is not famil-iar with.

Eurasian lynx arelisted as “least con-cern” conservation

status by the International Unionof Conservation of Nature Red List.They are found in 46 countries inEurope, Asia and the Middle East.

Illegal skin trade remains the lead-ing threat to the species, togetherwith habitat loss and prey basedepletion, according to the U.S. gov-ernment.

Call me an old fogey, if you will, but it stillirks me every time I buy something… andthen am expected to pay extra to ensure that itactually does what it’s supposed to.

It seems that a certain amount of embarrass-ment is missing.

And with it, honour seems to have dissi-pated, as well.

It used to be that when you bought a car ora refrigerator or a washing machine – or any-thing – there was an understanding betweenyourself and shop owner whosold it to you.

That understanding extendedall the way past the shop owner,in fact, and right back to thefolks who built the thing in thefirst place.

The understanding was thatyou would pay your money, andthey would provide you with whatever widgetyou were buying – in good working order.

The understanding was based on your wordand theirs.

And those words meant something.Washing machines and toasters and type-

writers (it’s probably not a total coincidencethat the “understanding” of which I speakseems to have dissipated with the rise of thecomputer) were built, distributed, and sold bypeople who not only took pride in their work,but backed up their pride with their word ofhonour.

If your toaster fell apart or for whatever rea-son stopped toasting, you took it back to anembarrassed shop owner who apologized allover the place for having sold you a defectivepiece of equipment.

And there was a sense that the manufacturerwas equally embarrassed, and eager to makethings right.

…Just as you would have been embarrassed

beyond belief if your cheque had bounced oryou had been unable to come up with the final$10 payment you’d promised the merchant.

Yes, they used to do that: accept your wordof honour that you’d come back with the restof the money in a week or two.

That was before the television ads beganasking, “Will that be cash… or Chargex?”

Charge cards have made things easier, ofcourse, and the bank debit cards that followedthem, and the online payment systems thathave taken us yet another step further fromany personal involvement between buyer andseller and manufacturer.

And as the personal distance has grown, sohas the impersonal distance.

Indeed, it seems to have started with thebanks and their credit cards and their ATMsand what not. When is the last time you

actually stood face-to-face with abank teller?

So if your money doesn’t makeit to the merchant, or indeed, itdoesn’t get to the bank becauseyou don’t have it this week – oryou never intended to have it– where’s the cause for embar-rassment? You don’t know the

guy… he doesn’t know you. And it’s not yourmoney that actually falls into the shopkeeper’shands – it’s all a sort of collective, with extracharges and penalties for everyone to make upfor those who are beyond embarrassment…beyond honour.

It’s all calculated into the final mix.And that’s why that washing machine

doesn’t come with an understanding – a wordof honour that used to be an ironclad guaran-tee.

Instead, it comes with a warrantee… at aprice.

You pay extra to ensure the value of theproduct that you are buying.

And make no mistake about it: you are notpaying extra to ensure that the product youare buying will be fault-free.

That extra cost is to ensure that, in the likeli-hood that the manufacturer’s product is faulty,someone else will come and fix it.

No reason to be embarrassed: no honour.

Flower provideshope this month

It’s not just a daffodil.And at this time of year particularly, it’s

certainly not just another flower,The daffodil has become symbolic of the

Canadian Cancer Society’s struggle to defeatcancer.

The CCS was founded on March 28,1938, and with the help of thousands ofvolunteers and fundraising initiatives suchas the annual daffodil sales, it has becomeCanada’s leading anti-cancer charity. Theyellow flower was used by volunteers duringthe 1950s to decorate tables at fundraisingevents that became known as Daffodil Teas.

It has become a tradition of the CCSto raise money by accepting donations inexchange for daffodils and by selling daffo-dil pins through April.

That’s why, throughout this month,you’re likely to see CCS volunteers sellingthe bright yellow flowers, raising not onlymoney for cancer research and other anti-cancer work, but awareness that, althougha lot of solid ground has been won in thebattle against cancer, there is still a longroad ahead.

Donations to the CCS during DaffodilMonth help fund research to outsmart can-cer, assist in providing information anddelivering programs to prevent cancer, sup-port those living with cancer, and advocatefor public policies to improve Canadians’health.

When the CCS started, the cancer sur-vival rate was about 25 per cent – only onein four people who developed cancer wereable to get past it.

Now the average survival rate forCanadians diagnosed with any cancer isabove 60 per cent – significantly more thanhalf. And for many once-devastating can-cers, the survival rate is approaching 100per cent.

So those bundles of daffodils in CCS vol-unteers’ hands, or the daffodil pins on thelapels of passersby are not just about prettyflowers.

They’re about hope, and a fight for life…and everyone fighting together.

Dear Editor,I live in a newer development in Yorkson

South, on a quiet side-street made up ofsingle detached homes with short and nar-row driveways.

When parking two average-sizedvehicles side-by-side, it is difficult toopen their doors. My fellow neigh-bours all agree that we each wouldreally benefit from a little wider drive-way [Parking homeowners’ fault,April 1 Letters, Langley Advance].

Just the other day, my neighbourreceived a letter from the Township,ordering him to remove his drivewaywidth extension (about three feet) or facedaily heavy fines of $500 per day until it isremoved.

Although the extension is on his ownproperty, it apparently violates some bylawrequiring the driveway to be a certain dis-tance away from the property line.

The letter states that he should be a“good neighbour” and remove it.

My neighbour is being a good neigh-bour by having the extra space to park hisvehicle on his own driveway and off thestreet!

Recently, the Township eliminated park-ing on one side of our street. (And what a

time did they choose to put up NoParking signs: just when all oursidewalks were getting repaired andnone of us could even park in ourdriveways for a week. What hap-pened to common sense?)

We all pay property taxes on thisuseless, wasted strip of grass thatturns into a muddy mess when it

rains, but we are not permitted to turn itinto something beneficial and aestheticallypleasing for all of us.

Not only has the Township of Langleychosen not to solve the problem of publicstreet parking, it even prevents solvingparking problems on our own private prop-erties.

Dear Editor,You have shown a huge misunderstand-

ing of the power of Kijiji [Harper’s policyjust a plain joke, April 1 Odd Thoughts,Langley Advance]. While not well used inBritish Columbia, it dominates the marketthroughout Canada. Craigslist is a non-start-er east of BC.

The usefulness of Kijiji for StatisticsCanada as a tracking device for employmentcannot be disputed. The daily number ofjob seekers and job offers is, for the mostpart, a good indicator of the employmenthealth of the country.

Kijiji listers may not be looking for news-paper editors, but the jobs offered are, forthe most part, starter and/or labour-typework, work that can pay the bills whileseeking a more fulfilling position. I am nottoo sure that tracking jobs offered and jobssought can be regarded as a policy. Anyinformation is good information.

As to your knock about scientific infor-mation being disregarded by the currentgovernment, I concur. When does anyonein the ivory tower know anything about theman in the street?

Your apparent reliance on economists forvalued information leaves me questioningeconomists’ grasp of the economy in thepast 10 years. Where were they during themeltdown that still affects a major portionof the world?

I believe a large component of the train-ing to become an economist is to bury yourhead in the sand until the storm is over,then appear with solutions, valueless for themost part.

Apparently, the schooldistrict has decided thatruining four days of workwas not challenging enoughfor parents, so for the 2014-2015 elementary/middleschool calendar, profes-sional development will beby the half day. Next year,

parents are going to need toeither find daycare or stayhome from work eight timesinstead of four.

Since most workplacesonly give 10 vacation daysa year, a working parentcould conceivably have touse most of a year’s worthof holidays so teachers can“collaborate” for half a dayat a time.

Apparently, teachers will“collaborate” for the mor-ning, and we will be askedto send our kids to schoolat noon to eat lunch, thenattend class for two hoursbefore they are dismissed.

When will our schooldistrict recognize that theseinventive and novel ideasdon’t just mildly inconven-ience parents, but cost themreal money?

If you have to give theteachers professionaldevelopment, do it over afull day, and don’t furthermess with our lives and ourschedules.

Four safest andmost efficientDear Editor,

The I.A.F.F has done extensive studies on respondingwith three and four firefighters. The studies have showntime and time again that responding with four or more fire-fighters is 60-70 per cent more safe and efficient for bothfirefighters and taxpayers.

Mutual aid and paid on call firefighters are not free. Theextensive training they receive before being allowed torespond is time consuming, and always ongoing.

The suggestion to cut back to three firefighters [Toomany firefighters too expensive, April 3 Letters, LangleyAdvance] is risk management at its worst, with the firefight-ers assuming all the risk. Help them help you.

Letters to the Editor LangleyAdvanceA8 Tue sday, Ap r i l 8 , 2014

Dear Editor,Every time I see an

article about the “poolfor Aldergrove” I cringe,because it seems to say,let’s make the buildingugly, start cutting features,let’s sell off more land (weneed more money), it’s tooexpensive to give you whatyou want… so that after atime, it could and may comedown to, “Sorry, folks, it’sjust too much. It ain’t gonnahappen.”

The community wants apool and a recreation area– gym, sauna, etc.

We aren’t asking for theworld. We just want to have

the same kind of servicesother areas of the Townshipreceive; is that too much toask? We pay taxes, too.

Did the Council have tosell land for the Blair Pool?Did the council have to sellland for the Langley EventsCentre?

I have to pay my taxes,so I have no money to betwith, but if I did, I’d say,probably not. As I under-stand it, the provincialgovernment played a part inthe development of the LECproject.

And does the artist’s ren-dition fit with the currentand probably the future

community style?Look at all the boohoo hoo about theCoulter Berry build-ing in Fort Langley.Did the designer ofthe proposed arenado any homeworkon the history ofAldergrove?

I’m not opposed to mixingthe old with the new, butwhy do we have to go toStar Trek for a design?

Why do we need a newarena? That question was

posed a long timeago. Would it not beless expensive to doan upgrade to theexisting arena? Theywould be withinblocks of each other.

Maybe because I’mtrying to reduce my

expenses, I have to pose thequestion, “Why is it cost-ing $1 million for a detailedtechnical study?”

Really? How many studieshave already been done?

Willoughby plan obscureDear Editor,

Your article [New OCP stopped, April 3, Langley Advance]suggests that the GNAC loaned money to develop a plan forBrookswood, as the Township staff was too busy workingon the plan for Willoughby and Aldergrove.

Watching Willoughby from Walnut Grove, I really wonderif there ever was a plan. What a mess!

Court blocked bureaucratsDear Editor,

The Metro Vancouver authority lost its lawsuit overLangley Township council’s decision to rezone propertiesthat did not conform to the regional growth strategy.

Unfortunately, Langley did not get the 2/3 approval voterequired from Metro to amend the urban containmentboundary when this matter went before Metro, though oneof those applications was supported by Metro’s own staff.

Before the lands were designated part of the GVRD greenzone in the late ’90s, I had a chance to address the mayorand council.

Proposed for the Green Zone were both ALR and non-ALRlands. I voiced my concern that, with almost 80 per centof Langley within the ALR boundaries, why would councilwant to give another authority the power to influence howLangley grows in the future?

The mayor directed this question to the planner present atthe time, who advised council that there would be a processin place that would allow the boundaries to be amended.

Council ended up approving the proposed boundaries forthe green zone dedication, only to find out now that a 2/3vote from Metro is required to change that boundary.

Well, here we are. It appears as though we have indeedadded to the planning process another layer of bureaucracythat is not afraid to try and flex its muscle. The thought ofpoliticians from Point Grey having more control over howLangley will evolve than our elected council is disturbing.

My family and I support the court’s decision. We ownproperty that is not in the ALR, is located in the GVRDservices area, and has now been designated rural reserve/Green Zone by Metro.

We bought our acreage in I995 with the thought of build-ing housing to accommodate our children and grandchil-dren. If the court had ruled in favour of Metro, our dreamsfor the future would have required a favourable 2/3 votefrom the 40 Metro directors.

I would rather leave those decisions up to our electedmayor and council.

Compassion for injured birdDear Editor,

I wish to thank a wonderful couple who assisted mewhen, during my run, I saw a bird get hit by a car.

The bird was not dead, but horribly injured. I could notleave it in the middle of the road, but wasn’t sure what todo. I picked it up and took it to a nearby house.

The couple was wonderful as I babbled on about thispoor bird. They let me in their house so I could wash myhands that were covered in blood, and the husband wasgoing to take care of the bird.

Although it was not pleasant to see this bird get hit, thekindness and compassion this couple showed a strangerand an injured bird is something I will not forget.

A team of volunteersshowed up at CarolOldford’s Langley homeSunday to fix up her mobilehome.

by Roxanne [email protected]

Carol Oldford’s deterior-ating physical abilities inthe past two years, com-pounded with the fact thather home is literally sink-ing, means she no longerhas the strength necessaryto open her front door.

The arrival of a 10-per-son team of workers onher very sloped stoop thisweekend was a blessingthat Oldford hopes canrestore some of her mobil-ity and consequently herindependence.

“I think it’s fantastic…just fantastic,” she said,watching from inside asworkers began to rip aparther slanted deck and rot-ting trailer skirt earlySunday morning – all inan effort to reveal andassess the problem.

“This is such a hugeburden off me… they haveno idea,” she said, neartears several times as thewidow felt the trailer shak-ing under the vibration ofthe work.

The 71-year-old Langleywoman moved into themobile home park at232nd Street and FraserHighway 12 years agoand proceeded to builda breathtaking gardenaround her large lot on thepark’s perimeter.

She called it her sanctu-ary, a place where shecould go and unwind,where she could admireall the beautiful plants andwatch and listen to thebirds.

But as it stands now,

she’s unable to safelymanoeuvre onto her deck,let alone down the stepsinto the garden – at leastnot without some majorassistance.

So Oldford admits shetends not to venture outmuch.

Living on a pension,she said she’s been strug-gling to figure out how toget the necessary repairsdone, pointing up to agiant problem with herwater-damaged livingroom ceiling. The linkingis the cause of her trailersinking.

Learning of Oldford’splight, members of theAldergrove Seventh DayAdventist church’s Actsof Kindness team came toher aid.

They’re performingwhat project leader PastorMichael Dauncey describesas a mini Extreme HomeRepair (EHR).

Each year, the AOKteam selects at least onedeserving and very needyfamily in Langley (oftenAldergrove) to receive anEHR that typically takeshundreds of volunteers 15-plus days and thousandsof dollars worth of donat-ed materials to complete.But this year, insteadof one massive project,they’ve chosen to take ontwo slightly smaller pro-jects.

The first is Oldford’shome.

A small team arrivedSunday to access the dam-

age, develop a plan ofattack, and begin some ofthe demolition.

Over the course of thenext eight days or so, theyhope to level and stabilizethe 1972 double-wide trail-er, then go about resurfa-cing the deck, repairingthe roof, and fixing thefloors that were damagedby the shifting and sinkingof the ground below.

As well, Dauncey said,there are a few other pro-jects in the works, includ-ing upgrading the electricaland doing a few otherminor repairs.

“It’s a big relief. Thestress level went downa great deal,” when shereceived a call fromDauncey a few weeks backannouncing they’d been

picked as an AOK recipi-ent.

“I phoned everyone Iknew,” she said. “I justcouldn’t believe it.”

Oldford’s mobility start-ed going downhill abouttwo years ago, when shesuffered a herniated bellybutton and required sur-gery. Since then, she haslost all her strength andsubsequently some of hermobility. Her instabilitywhen walking has beenamplified by the problemswith her home. But shewants so much to staywhere she is, and creditsAOK for making that pos-sible.

“Already, I can seethe appreciation in theirfaces,” Dauncey said,of both Oldford and her

daughter Connie.A slightly bigger AOK

repair project is stillcoming for next month,running from May 2 to19 (with the reveal onVictoria Day, as usual),

for an Aldergrove grand-mother and her grandson,Dauncey explained.

• Stay tuned to the LangleyAdvance for more details on this

current mini extreme home repair,as well as the new project.

NEW OUTFITS FOR

Langley home tonew political partyA new Langley municipal party has fourcandidates, but is not releasing their names.by Matthew [email protected]

The newest Langley municipal party has chosen fourcandidates for the coming November elections, but willnot reveal names until later this summer.

Clint Lee of Live Langley said four potential Townshipcandidates have been chosen internally.

Lee said it’s always pos-sible some of the candi-dates may not be able torun by November, so thenames won’t be releasedimmediately.

So far, the party is onlycontemplating four candi-dates, rather than creatinga full slate of eight councilcandidates and a mayoral candidate.

“We don’t want to be perceived as a party that wantsabsolute control,” said Lee.

As the group’s executive director, Lee said he’s stillnot certain if he himself will run.

“I’ve gone back and forth,” Lee said.The group has also not yet decided if it will run a

mayoral candidate. So far the consensus is that the partywill not.

“But that may change,” Lee said.Live Langley is opposed to the bulk of the current

Township council, having been formed out of residentsupset with a number of recent land use and rezoningdecisions.

Problems with the ongoing development ofWilloughby, the Coulter Berry building controversy inFort Langley, and approvals for projects such as theTrinity Western University District caused the group tocome together last year.

The group was mostly formed out of opposition, andLee said they are discussing what they do to move for-ward with positive solutions.

The group has recently seen much of its executiveleave.

Lee said Brad Richter stepped down for health reasons,while Andy Schildhorn and Diane Morrison left as theywere stretched between many commitments.

Lee said the group is now looking for both new execu-tive members of help run the group as well as regularmembers. The party is holding a pub night at the ArtfulDodger pub in Brookswood starting at 7 p.m. April 11.

Spring cleaning

Clean up LangleyLangley Township is encouraging people to keeptheir neighbourhoods clean this spring.

Cleaning doesn’t have to be a chore. Just gather yourfamily and friends, pick your favourite neighbourhood,and help Clean Up Langley on Saturday, May 10.

Now in its third year, Clean Up Langley is a com-munity-wide clean-up event that targets various neigh-bourhoods with the goal of making the Township aneven more beautiful place to live. Running from 9 a.m.to 2 p.m., businesses, community groups, families, andindividuals are invited to spend anywhere from 30 min-utes to several hours collecting litter and other waste.

“Earth Day doesn’t have to end on April 22,” saidTess White, solid waste coordinator with the Townshipof Langley. “We’re hoping that more and more resi-dents will see the benefit in volunteering their time sothat our community can really sparkle and shine.”

Last year, more than 300 people braved the rain andformed 15 groups to Clean Up the community.

Thanks to their efforts, more than one tonne of gar-bage was cleared away, along with large items includ-ing concrete blocks, rebar, mattresses, propane tanks,an old barbecue, cans of paint, rusty barrels, and tires.

This year, the event was put back a couple of weeksin the hopes of better weather, but the event will beheld rain or shine. Registrants can choose to join anexisting large group or head out with their own group,armed with supplies provided by the Township ofLangley.

Clean Up Langley is presented by the Township’sAdopt-A-Program, which encourages residents, schools,organizations, and businesses to help keep local streets,streams, trails, and parks clean.

“We are lucky to live in such a beautiful place, andit is up to all of us to take care of it,” said TownshipMayor Jack Froese. “Clean Up Langley Day is a greatopportunity to enhance the environment and get toknow other caring people in your community. It makesa big difference and is a lot of fun, so we encouragepeople of all ages to do what they can.”

To take part, visit tol.ca/events by Thursday, May 1to sign up and receive your Clean Up supplies.

Real Canadian Superstore and itssister stores are hosting a springfood drive.

The milder weather has peoplethinking spring, not hunger, butthose who require food banks facethe need, no matter the time of year.

Loblaws stores, including Langley’sReal Canadian Superstore, YourIndependent Grocer, and no frills,are holding the Extra Helping SpringFood Drive until April 24.

“We always try to find ways tosupport the local Langley commun-ity and the Extra Helping SpringFood Drive is just one way we can

do that,” said Joe Viana, manager ofLangley’s Real Canadian Superstore.

People can donate non-perishablesat the stores (the bins are out year-round) or they can add a donation totheir bill at the checkout.

“Hunger is a year-round reality forfar too many families,” said LauraLansik, executive director of FoodBanks BC. “The Spring Extra HelpingFood Drive helps us replenish ourstock and fight hunger in our com-munities. Adding just one item to thefood donation bin or a few extra dol-lars to your grocery bill makes a bigdifference to local families in need.”

According to Food Banks BC, about94,000 residents, 30 per cent of themchildren, rely on a food bank in an

average month around the province.“When customers are thinking

about what to donate, we’d like themto consider selecting the same typesof healthy foods they would pick upfor their own family,” Viana said.

All of the food donations and 85per cent of cash donations will godirectly to food banks across B.C.,while the remaining 15 per cent ofdonated cash will support provincialfood bank programs.

Loblaw Companies Ltd. and itsstores hope to raise $1.8 million and1.8 million pounds of food in 2014.The stores have supported localfood banks for years, but in 2009rebranded under Extra Helping andhas twice-yearly food drives.

Longtime Langley volunteerswere awarded for yearsof efforts to improve thecommunity.

An Aldergrove woman behindmany of the community’s fairsand parades, and a Glen Valleycouple with a yen for taking tothe waters of the Fraser Riverwon Langley Township volun-teering awards last week.

Karen Long was the 2014recipient of the Eric FlowerdewVolunteer Award, given annuallyto recognize dedication to thequality of life and communityspirit in Langley.

Cheryl MacIntosh and GlennHowes took home the John andMuriel Arnason Award, whichhonours two people who areadvocates of literacy, culture,and learning. It is for coupleswho work together towards thesame goals.

Long, MacIntosh, and Howestook home their awards from

an event with hundreds at theLangley Events Centre Thursdaynight. Numerous dedicated vol-unteers were honoured with din-ner and entertainment.

A long-time resident ofAldergrove, Long has spentyears dedicated to making a dif-ference in her neighbourhood.In fact, there are very few activ-ities or events that happen inAldergrove that Long hasn’t con-tributed to in some way.

For many years, she hasserved on the executive of theAldergrove Festival Days Societyand the Aldergrove AgriculturalAssociation, organizing fairs andparades to educate and entertainthe community.

A member of the Rotary Clubof Aldergrove, she exempli-fies the motto “Service AboveSelf,” helping the group raisemoney for a women’s shelter,clean up and beautify down-town Aldergrove, raise fundsfor Langley Centennial Museumstudent programs, and partnerwith the Township of LangleyFire Department to install smoke

detectors in the AldergroveMobile Home Park.

An integral force behind theAldergrove Christmas Parade,she can be found manning a ket-tle for the Salvation Army dur-ing the holidays. An advocateof Aldergrove NeighbourhoodServices’ programs, she is also ahuge part of the success of thelocal Walk for Memories, whichhas raised almost $100,000 forthe Alzheimer Society.

Long is also a long-timemember of the AldergroveLegion who serves as chair ofthe branch’s internal auditingcommittee. She helps securedonations forcommunity din-ners for familiesat Thanksgiving,Easter, andChristmas, par-ticipates in anannual TerryFox barbecuefundraiser, and works with theRotary Club to provide food andgifts for Aldergrove families thatare struggling at Christmastime.

On the water and on landMacIntosh and Howes, havecontributed to ensure that NorthLangley is a better and healthierplace to live.

For 12 years, the pair has beendedicated to the Fort LangleyCanoe Club.

MacIntosh began as a voya-geur paddler then became aleader and coach, encouragingthe group to try dragon boat

paddling. Interest grew and withMacIntosh chairing the boardsince 2009, the club grew tomore than 500 members.

That meant more boats, docks,and storage space was needed.Howes became the key personfor getting the docks upgraded,leading working groups throughplanning, design, and physicallabour.

The couple also lends theirleadership qualities to localenvironmental groups. A trueteam, Howes is the chair of theGlen Valley Watershed Societyand MacIntosh was the treas-urer. Cheryl has also been sec-

retary, treasurer,and chair of theDerby Reach/Brae Island ParksAssociation.Howes is one ofthe association’smost diligentmembers and

turns out in all kinds of weatherto pull weeds and conduct toursas part of the association’s goalto promote conservation andeducation.

Beyond running many meet-ings, the pair has opened uptheir home for work partiesand lunches for events such asthe annual Bird Count. Theyparticipate in Rivers Week, theCranberry Festival, and theannual Brigade Days journeyand arrival at the Fort LangleyNational Historic Site. MacIntoshand Howes help protect the

environment by doing every-thing from planting trees andsampling and analyzing streamwater to talking to neighboursabout issues, and keep manykilometres of Glen Valley roadsclean and collect numerousbags of garbage through theTownship’s Adopt-A-Street pro-gram.

“We are really fortunate inthis community to have somany people willing to volun-teer their time to make life bet-ter for others,” said Townshipof Langley Mayor Jack Froese.“This event is a wonderfulopportunity to thank those whogive so much to Langley. Ourcommunity wouldn’t be thesame without them.”

Froese presented the awardsalong with co-emcee MeghanCheung, a Grade 12 honour stu-dent from Brookswood SeniorSecondary who has been a mem-ber of Langley Township’s YouthAdvisory Council since 2011.

The Eric Flowerdew award isnamed after the former schooltrustee, municipal council-lor, and Parks and RecreationCommissioner who had anunfailing commitment to volun-teerism.

The John and Muriel Arnasonaward is named for the firstwoman elected to LangleyTownship council and her long-time husband and partner inactivism John. Arnason served26 years on the Township coun-cil.

Jean Sexsmith and Carol Leeson run the small store at the Renaissance Retirement Resort which helps residentsand provides funds for charity.

Two Langley seniors have found afun volunteer opportunity right intheir own home.

by Heather [email protected]

Carol Leeson and Jean Sexsmith havenever stopped to calculate how manyhours a week they volunteer at their

home, the Renaissance Resort.Sexsmith has lived at Renaissance for

about seven years, and Leeson has beenthere about four.

But since each has lived there, they’vebeen volunteering at the Country Store, asmall tuck shop for residents.

“The pleasure of serving,” wasSexsmith’s reason for why she does it.

Leeson cited an example of the valuethey place on helping others.

Its National Volunteer WeekTHANK A VOLUNTEER

Because volunteer work speaks volumes

National Volunteer Week LangleyAdvanceA16 Tue sday, Ap r i l 8 , 2014

Volunteer attitude started at childhood…continued from page A15

A resident came bywith a request, but due tohealth issues could barelyspeak.

Leeson and Sexmithwere able to get somesundries for him from aretail outlet.

That’s because part oftheir work, in addition tothe two hours the store isopen each week, includespecial-occasion sales,accounting, fulfillingrequests, and even somepersonal shopping.

It’s a far cry fromthe origins of theCountry Store when theRenaissance opened sev-eral years ago.

“It started with just

stamps and a fewKleenex,” Sexsmithexplained.

Over the years, it’sexpanded to includesnacks,sundrieslike gar-bage bagsand papertowels, giftitems, andeven home-made sew-ing and other items.

Sometimes residentshave been known todonate items, such as giftbaskets of bath productsor other items they areunable to use themselves.

And four times a year,the store sets up near the

dining room for specialsales.

The next special sale isfor Easter, giving residentsa chance to pick up items

for theirgrandchil-dren orothers.

The twofriendsrely onLeeson’shusband to

go over the books at thestore, where every trans-action is recorded by handin a ledger.

They do not have theluxury of a computer sys-tem.

Volunteering is nothingnew for these women.

“We were in theKinsmen Club for many,many years,” Leeson said,referring to their worktogether through herhusband’s service clubmembership.

Sexsmith said she recallshelping threading needlesfor her grandmother, andnow she receives helpwith her needles fromyounger members of herfamily.

“I have always beena volunteer, from thetime we were kids,” sheexplained.

When she and her hus-band lived in Hong Kong,she volunteered for a

group that helped main-land Chinese adjust toliving in the former Britishcolony.

The store doesn’t justhelp residents.

The women pick upitems on sale, and theyare then sold at theCountry Store for regularretail price.

The difference is thendonated to charity.

That’s been going on foryears.

The most recent dona-tions amounted to $1,200for the Langley MemorialHospital Foundation, andthe same amount wasapplied to BC Children’sHospital.

“Our goal was $2,000for the year,” Leeson said.

Sexsmith said that thestore would not be nearlyas successful withoutCarol, who does the driv-ing.

Working at the storekeeps the women activeand involved.

“We are blessedwith real good health,”Sexsmith said.

And one of the addedbenefits is that they get tosocialize with their neigh-bours.

“We’re next door to thehairdresser,” Sexsmithnoted, adding with achuckle, “We get all thenews.”

“It started with juststamps and a fewKleenex.”Jean Sexsmith

The Rockets battled hardbut the Phantom goalie,Valencia Yordanov, wasn’tletting anything past her.

Game 2 proved to beanother close game forthe Phantom and Rockets.With just over three min-utes remaining in theopening period, Martin

buried a power play goalfor the Phantom.

Tayla Jackson was on TeamBC Selects, taking on a topJapanese team.by Heather [email protected]

The coach of the Japan U-18Select girls basketball team want-ed to put his players to the test bybringing them to Canada.

“I want to give them a chanceto play against a tall player inCanada,” coach Tatushi Isshikisaid through a translator.

The team is prepping for theAsian Games and the three-gameseries against Team BC Selectsoffered other benefits.

“The reason why we are here isto improve each game,” he said.

So he used all his squad so theycould be exposed to a differentstyle of ball in another culture.

His players are high school stu-dents ages 16-18.

They played Team BC to a 71-62 win on April 2 with TeamBC taking game 2 with 71-67.Game 3 was Saturday at UBC andresulted in a thrilling 70-68 winfor Team BC.

Admission to the games was adonation to KidsSportBC.

“We have to improve defen-sively,” Isshiki said about the twodays between the later games.

That won’t leave the teensmuch time to be sightseeing buthe said they’ve taken a shineto one aspect ofCanada.

“The food isgreat,” he said.

Langley’s TaylaJackson is on theSelects, and wasflattered whenasked to join thegroup of youngwomen from highschools and uni-versities.

“I thought it would be a greatexperience because I was able toplay with girls I look up to at theuniversity level,” she said.

The Grade 12 student atBrookswood Secondary playsforward. (Trinity WesternUniversity’s Chantelle Martin and

Kayla Gordon are also on theteam.)

Jackson said the first game wasa little rough. Team BC only hasfour practices before taking on the

visitors.“It’s very scram-

bly at times butit’s good,’ Jacksonsaid. “It makes usthink on our feet.We’ve gotta makequick decisions, soit’s a big learningexperience for us.”

The Selects gelledbetter for the sec-

ond meeting.“It’s very fast paced, a very

physical game. I’ve never playedat the international level before soit’s pretty cool,” said Jackson.

The games are a challenge butJackson sees the benefits, espe-cially since she plans to continueplaying basketball into university.

Volleyball

TWU upsits ranks

Trinity Western men’svolleyball coach BenJosephson went backto a pair of familiarwells for his latest tworecruits, signing out-side hitter Riley VanderMeulen of EdmontonChristian High Schooland left side/liberoCarter Bergen ofWinnipeg’s MCBI(Mennonite BrethrenCollegiate Institute).

Both are arguably thebest graduating playersfrom their respectiveprovinces.

Bergen joins theSpartans after beingnamed the top graduat-ing high school playerin Manitoba. VanderMeulen, by many’sestimation, would havebeen atop his prov-ince’s list had Alberta asimilar poll.

Edmonton Christianhas been a hotbed forTWU men’s volleyballplayers. Vander Meulenfollows in the footstepsof former SpartansJosh Doornenbal(graduated in 2011)and Lucas Van Berkel(2014), and currentSpartan Levi Wolthuis.Similarly, Bergen comesto the Spartans on thesame path that fellowMCBI graduates AdamSchriemer and DevynPlett also once took enroute to TWU.

The two add to analready distinguished2014 Spartans recruit-ing class that includesAaron Boettcher(Surrey), who wasranked No. 2 in TheProvince poll of thebest graduating playersin B.C., Ben Lieuwen(Abbotsford), who wasNo. 4 on that same list,and Braden Heppell(Langley), who came inat No. 8.

“It makes us think onour feet. We’ve gottamake quick decisions,so it’s a big learningexperience for us.”Tayla Jackson

Stealth find their feettoo late in the gameagainst Toronto.

The Stealth failed to rockthe Langley Events Centrewhen taking on TorontoSaturday.

The Vancouver Stealth’s(4-10) slow start provedcostly, as they fell 17-9 tothe Toronto Rock (6-9) inNational Lacrosse Leagueaction.

“Right from the get go

we put ourselves behindthe eight ball,” said Stealthcaptain Kyle Sorensen,who made his return tothe lineup after missingtime due to injury. “Webattled back a bit after theslow start,but then wefell asleepagain.”

The Rockled rightfrom theoutset, out-scoring theStealth 6-2 in the openingquarter and held an 11-4advantage at halftime,

“We’ve had a number ofgood starts this year, ourproblem has been the mid-dle of the games at times,”said Toronto Rock headcoach John Lovell. “It wasgood that we maintainedour momentum through-out the third and fourthquarters tonight.”

Langley native GarrettBillings led the chargefor the Rock in the open-ing half assisting on theteam’s first five goals ofthe game and finished thehalf with seven points tolead all players.

Billingswould endup leavingthe gamewith aninjury inthe secondquarterand did notreturn. He’s now tendingto a torn ACL.

“We’re not sure wherehe is and you don’treplace a player like that,”said coach Lovell. “It’sdevastating to us becauseof his ability and I feelsorry for the guy becausehe’s one of the best, ifnot the best player in this

league. It’s a shame that ithappened.”

In second half the teamswere basically even offen-sively, with the Rockscoring six goals to theStealth’s five. Rhys Duch

led thecharge forthe Stealthin the sec-ond halffinishingthe gamewith fourgoals in a

losing cause. Duch wasalso named the third starof the game.

The second half alsoturned into a physical bat-tle, as the two Canadianteams combined for 37penalty minutes, in thesecond half alone.

The playoff-like atmos-phere at the LEC seemedto fuel the Stealth in thesecond half, but the slowstart was too much toovercome.

“We showed flashes ofbrilliance but that’s notgood enough. We’ve putourselves in this positiontoo many times this year,”Sorensen said. “We know

we can play60 minutes,we did itlast weekagainstBuffalo.”

TheStealth nowhead out

on the road to face theRochester Knighthawkson April 12, in what willbe a repeat of last year’sChampions Cup Final. Thenext home game is April19 when Philadelphia vis-its.
