Langley woman

celebrates 110 years

Funds set up for victims of accused arsonist

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

Anna Nielsen lived through two World Wars, the Great Depression, women getting the right to vote, the invention of planes and cars, and the Internet too.

And on Thursday, Niel-sen celebrated being one of the oldest people in Canada, at 110 years old. The oldest person in B.C. is believed to be 113.

Nielsen’s birthday par-ty was held at Langley Gardens Retirement Cen-tre, where she lives. She was treated to a musician singing, cake and friends

and family visiting.She doesn’t speak very

often these days, but staff and her daughter say she is still giving out lots of hugs and kisses.

“She loves babies. She’s very loving. She’s constantly kissing me,” smiled her daughter Luna Hepperle.

Born in 1904 in Denmark, Nielsen married and had one child there before moving to New Brunswick in 1920. She came out to B.C. in 1944.

She has fi ve daughters and one son, who has since died.


The community is coming together to support the Langley family involved in last week’s attempted murder and arson.

Already $5,000 has been raised to help the mother and her two children rebuild their lives, after escaping from the attack and fi re, allegedly set by the estranged husband and father in their Willoughby

home.A Go Fund Me account has been set up

by co-workers and friends who say the family is “now safe and recovering after this horrible ordeal.”

“All I can say is that the family is togeth-er and safe, but unfortunately they are homeless,” said Hailey McShane, a family friend who started the fundraising cam-paign along with Margaret Jones.

“They have lost almost everything, and

are really starting from scratch. Every pen-ny counts and we so appreciate the gen-erosity and support of the community. It shines a bright light in such a dark time for the family.”

Meanwhile, a trust account has been started at Envision Financial in Langley City and an online account at YouCaring.com has already generated $2,000.

Anna Nielsen celebrated her 110th birthday on Thursday with her daughter Luna Hepperle at Langley Gardens Retirement Centre where she lives.

Volunteers honoured for building communityLANGLEY TOWNSHIP HONOURS PEOPLE WHO GIVE BACK — A LOT

Karen Long, an active volunteer in numerous organizations in Aldergrove, won the Eric Flowerdew Trophy for her many community activities.

Langley Township photo

On Thursday, April 3, outstanding Lang-ley Township volunteers were recognized at Township council’s annual volunteer appreciation event.

Hundreds of community members gath-ered at the Langley Events Centre as Lang-ley’s dedicated volunteers were honoured with dinner, presentations, and entertain-ment. During the celebration, a hard-work-ing individual, a high-achieving student, and a committed couple were presented with awards for their outstanding efforts.

The Eric Flowerdew Volunteer Award is presented annually to recognize contribu-tions that volunteers make to the commu-nity. It honours an individual’s outstand-ing dedication to the promotion of quality of life through creative, cultural, physical, or social pursuits, and to the enhancement of the Township of Langley’s community spirit.

Eric Flowerdew was a school trustee, municipal councillor, and member of the Langley Hospital Board. As parks and rec-reation commissioner, he was instrumen-tal in establishing the initial parks and recreation budget and in hiring Pete Sw-ensson as the Township’s fi rst recreation director. His commitment to volunteerism was unfailing, and in 1974 the Flowerdew family honoured his name with the award.

The Pete Swensson Outstanding Com-munity Youth Award is given to a Langley student in Grade 11 or 12, from one of the area’s secondary schools, in recognition of his or her athletic, scholastic, and com-munity efforts. Personal qualities such as leadership, work ethic, and initiative play a major role in the evaluation process.

Pete Swensson was an international-ly recognized athlete and photographer, and an outstanding member of the Lang-ley community. The Township of Langley’s fi rst recreation director, he was the origi-nator of the Langley Walk. Swensson was committed to the overall development of youth, and this award is named in his hon-our.

The John and Muriel Arnason Award honours two people who are advocates of literacy, culture, and learning, and work to-gether as a team to make the Township of Langley a better place.

The award was created in memory of Mu-riel Arnason, the fi rst woman to be elect-ed to Township council, and her husband, John. Muriel, who was made Freewoman of the Township in 2006, served on council for 26 years, and was fully supported by her husband in her political pursuits, as well as in her initiatives to foster the arts, edu-cation, and literacy.

The 2013 Eric Flowerdew Volunteer Award was won by Karen Long. The Pete Swensson Award went to Hannah Beaton and the John and Muriel Arnason Award went to Glenn Howes and Colleen MacIn-tosh.

Nominees for the 2013 Eric Flowerdew award were: Karen Long, Jim McGregor, Steve Trummler and Cheryl Young.

Long, a long-time resident of Aldergrove, is quietly dedicated to making a big differ-ence in her community. In fact, there are very few activities or events that happen in Aldergrove that she hasn’t contributed to in some way.

For many years, she has served on the executive of the Aldergrove Festival Days Society and the Aldergrove Agricultural Association, organizing fairs and parades to educate and entertain the community. A member of the Rotary Club of Aldergrove, she exemplifi es the motto “Service Above Self,” helping the group raise money for a women’s shelter, clean up and beauti-fy downtown Aldergrove, raise funds for Langley Centennial Museum student pro-grams, and partner with the Township of Langley Fire Department to install smoke detectors in the Aldergrove Mobile Home Park.

An integral force behind the Aldergrove Christmas Parade, she can be found man-ning a kettle for the Salvation Army during the holidays. An advocate of Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services’ programs, she is also a huge part of the success of our lo-cal Walk for Memories, which has raised almost $100,000 for the Alzheimer Society.

She is also a long-time member of the Aldergrove Legion who serves as chair of the branch’s internal auditing committee. She helps secure donations for commu-nity dinners for families at Thanksgiving, Easter, and Christmas, participates in an annual Terry Fox barbecue fundraiser, and

works with Rotary to provide food and gifts for Aldergrove families who are struggling at Christmastime.

Nominees for the 2014 Pete Swensson Outstanding Com-munity Youth Award were: Georgie Antle of D.W. Poppy Secondary School; Hannah Beaton of Langley Funda-mental Middle and Secondary School; Aidan Kits of Lang-ley Christian School; Julianna Matson of Walnut Grove Sec-ondary School; Brian Portner of R.E. Mountain Secondary School; Michael Pratt of Brook-swood Secondary School; Dev-on Stam of Credo Christian High School and Amy Whitton of Aldergrove Community Sec-ondary School.

Beaton is an accomplished track and fi eld athlete. She can usually be found in her running shoes – or supplying them to those in need. A Grade 12 student at Langley Funda-mental Middle and Secondary School, she created the “Step

In Someone Else’s Shoes” program three years ago to provide inner city schools with footwear. A member of student coun-cil and a youth leader, she also established family sports night to promote play and strengthen family ties.

An athlete who shines in soccer, volley-ball, and track and fi eld, she holds a record with the Langley Mustangs for youth shot put, was named fi fth in Canada for hep-tathlon and fourth for javelin, and holds several track and fi eld records at her high school.

A Leadership and Principal’s Award-win-ner for outstanding effort and work habits, she has earned an “A” honour roll award each term. For more on her achievements, see story page 25.

Nominees for the 2013 John and Muriel Arnason Award were: Cheryl MacIntosh and Glenn Howes, Michael Jackstien and Jamey Paterson and Jordan and Shelly Welch.

MacIntosh and Howes, a Glen Valley couple, have made many contributions to ensure that North Langley is a better and healthier place to live.

For 12 years, the pair has been dedicated to the Fort Langley Canoe Club. MacIntosh began as a voyageur paddler then became a leader and coach, encouraging the group to try dragon boat paddling. Interest grew. She has chaired the board since 2009, and the club grew to more than 500 members. That meant more boats, docks, and stor-age space was needed. Howes became the key person for getting the docks upgraded, leading working groups through planning, design, and physical labour.

The couple also lends their leadership

qualities to local environmental groups. Howes is the chair of the Glen Valley Wa-tershed Society and MacIntosh was the treasurer. She has also been secretary, trea-surer, and chair of the Derby Reach/Brae Is-land Parks Association. Howes is one of the association’s most diligent members and turns out in all kinds of weather to pull weeds and conduct tours as part of the as-sociation’s goal to promote conservation and education.

Beyond running many meetings, the pair has opened up their home for work par-ties and lunches for events such as the annual Bird Count. They participate in Rivers Week, the Cranberry Festival, and the annual Brigade Days journey and ar-rival at the Fort Langley National Historic Site. They help protect the environment by doing everything from planting trees and sampling and analyzing stream wa-ter to talking to neighbours about issues, and keep many kilometres of Glen Valley roads clean and collect numerous bags of garbage through the Township’s Adopt-A-Street program.

“We are really fortunate in this com-munity to have so many people willing to volunteer their time to make life better for others,” said Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese. “This event is a wonderful op-portunity to thank those who give so much to Langley. Our community wouldn’t be the same without them.”

Froese presented the awards along with co-emcee Meghan Cheung, a Grade 12 honour student from Brookswood Senior Secondary who has been a member of Langley Township’s Youth Advisory Coun-cil since 2011.

Colleen MacIntosh and Glenn Howes were named winners of the John and Muriel Arnason Tro-phy on Thursday night, given annually to two people who work together as a team to make the Township of Langley a better place.

She has so many great-great, great and grandchildren, she can’t keep track. Her husband passed away in 1989, after the pair had been married for more than 60 years.

While she spent many years

as a stay at home mother, she also worked cleaning many Vancouver buildings, like the Orpheum.

Hepperle said she isn’t sure what her mom’s secret to a long life is.

“She ate porridge every morn-ing, she wasn’t a drinker.

“She was always busy. She is the only woman I know who washed the walls twice a month.”

She is also known to have a kind heart.

“She is a wonderful mom who always had great advice for us,” she said.

Family friend Lisa said the Wakefi eld neighbourhood is rallying together to fi nd ways to support the family.

They lost everything in the fi re, including mementos, cloth-ing, furniture and will struggle fi nancially, she said.

Meanwhile, Andre Harvey Richard, 44, made his fi rst court appearance in Surrey Provin-cial Court on Monday, facing 13 criminal charges including three counts of attempted mur-der, as well as charges of arson and break and enter.

In addition, he faces four counts of assault with a weap-on — involving two victims, each allegedly assaulted with

two different weapons, and two counts each of assault causing bodily harm as well as breach-ing a no contact order with his ex-wife.

“This was a tragic event which, thankfully, now has a success-ful conclusion,” said Langley RCMP Supt. Derek Cooke.

“I would like to express my thanks for the role played by the media, the general public and in particular the individual who brought Richard to police attention.”

Richard is accused of trying to kill his estranged wife and her two children by setting fi re to the Wakefi eld Drive home in which they were sleeping on April 2.

At 9:30 a.m. on April 4, more

than 24 hours after Richard’s estranged wife, her daughter and son escaped from their burning home, RCMP received a call of an erratic, and possi-bly impaired, driver near Fernie — 30 minutes from the Alberta border.

The witness followed the sus-pect until the vehicle — a grey Saturn SUV — came to a stop. The driver exited the vehicle and ran into bushes at the side of the road, said police.

A crisis negotiator was called to the scene and local police ar-rived.

After some time, Richard was taken into custody without fur-ther incident.

James A. MacLean

You’ve found a house that looks in rea-sonable shape, in a great location and on a sizable property. You’re thinking of get-ting a home inspection done, just to be safe. But your agent, who also listed the house for the sellers, talks you out of it. He tells you that an inspection was done fairly recently, and the only real problem was the under-sized furnace. So you save your money and buy the house without insisting on getting a satisfactory inspec-tion report.

Then after you move in, you find that there are moisture, mildew and mould problems. You do some of the repairs yourself but you also have to get differ-ent inspection services to go through and report on the problems and estimated costs to fix them. But the more you look, the more such problems you find through-out the house. So you end up moving out altogether for health reasons – one of your daughters is beginning to have respiratory problems. To recoup some of the repair costs, you are forced to sue the agent and his firm, as well as the sellers.

That was pretty much the situation faced by the Browns (all names changed) when they bought from the Smiths with the “help” of the realtor, Robert. In court, it turned out that Robert had been told by another realtor in his office that a previ-ous offer had fallen through because of mould problems disclosed by a house inspection. After that, the sellers made the recommended repairs, so didn’t think there should be any further mildew prob-lems.

The court believed Ms. Brown, who said the only thing that Robert told her regard-ing the previous inspection report was that the furnace was too small – he never mentioned any mould or mildew prob-

lems. The result was that, in his eagerness to close a sale, he told a half-truth, hiding critical information that might have led the Browns to make the house purchase conditional on a house inspection, as they were thinking of doing.

In the end, the court decided that the Browns were entitled to compensa-tion from Robert and his firm of some $47,000. $38,000 of this was to reflect what the house would have been worth had the hidden mould and mildew issues been known, based on their estimated repair costs. $10,000 was in compensa-tion for the psychological and emotional problems suffered by the Browns, in particular the wife who became clinically depressed as a result of all the house problems.

Had the Browns obtained an inspection, it likely would not have found all the mil-dew and mould problems that were later discovered by moving heavy appliances (washer and dryer) and cutting into vari-ous walls and floors in the house – they were “latent defects” that could not have been discovered by such an inspection. But the inspection might well have dis-covered signs or symptoms such as sur-face mildew that would have suggested a more thorough investigation. The oppor-tunity to discover these problems was lost by the realtor talking the Browns out of getting an inspection performed.

If you encounter problems with a property purchase or sale, consult your lawyer promptly.

Buyer – if in doubt, get an inspection

The manhunt had begun early Wednesday morning, after it was determined that Richard wasn’t in the charred remains of the house. Police released a picture of Richard and issued an arrest warrant for him.

The Langley man is accused of going to his wife’s home around 1 a.m. and setting fi re to it, before en-tering her bedroom and assaulting her with a pair of weapons. When the 14-year-old daughter tried to intervene, police say she was also assaulted.

The three victims, including the eight-year-old son, managed to es-cape the burning home and fl ed to a neighbour’s house, where 911 was called.

Police and Township fi re crews arrived to fi nd fl ames shooting through the windows and roof. The house was destroyed in the blaze.

The victims were all taken to hos-pital, where the mother remained in stable condition as of Friday. She is now out of hospital.

They are now looking for some-where to rent.

“Any amount of donations would gladly be accepted to help pay for housing, furnishings, clothing and any other possessions lost in the fi re,” writes McShane on the fund-raising page.

If you want to donate go to www.gofundme.com/81tclw. The fund-

raising name is “coworkers helping coworkers.”

At Envision the account is #728582. Additionally, the Langley Bottle De-pot (20137 Industrial Ave) and Wil-lowbrook Recycling will be taking bottle donations for the family.

Andre Harvey Richard is facing 13 charges related to the alleged as-saults of his estranged wife and her daughter as well as a fi re which de-stroyed the woman’s Willoughby home.

The Sky’s No Limit — Girls Fly Too, held at Langley Regional Air-port last month, has made history as the largest event of its kind in the world.

The Girls Fly Too event drew more than 6,000 people to the airport on March 8 and 9 to cele-brate women in avia-tion.

A total of 1,310 girls and women of all ages experienced the mag-ic of their fi rst fl ight in a small air-craft. Five helicopters and fi ve small planes from the Fraser Blues Forma-tion Demonstration Team provided the introductory fl ight experience free of charge.

The Girls Fly Too event won the Global Aviation title for introduc-ing the most girls and women to aviation during Women of Aviation Worldwide Week.

Langley Airport also won the “Most Female Pilot Friendly Airport Worldwide” title.

“This is a monumental achieve-ment,” said Kirsten Brazier, pilot and organizer of the award-wining event. Previous Girls Fly Too events Brazier has organized were held in Yellowknife, and also won awards.

“Kirsten Brazier who organized the event in Langley . . . elevated

the concept to a level never accomplished be-fore. Leading more than 200 volunteers, Bra-zier co-ordinated a re-cord-setting 1,310 fi rst fl ights, which makes the Langley Regional Airport, the Most Fe-male Pilot Friendly Air-port Worldwide in 2014, and makes Brazier, the winner of the Event Or-ganizer Contest’s $1,000 prize,” writes the press release from Women of Aviation Worldwide.

Aside from the exhil-arating fi rst fl ight experience, girls and women of all ages had the op-portunity to get hands-on with air-craft, operate a rivet gun to make a keepsake keychain and explore a line-up of aircraft.

An award ceremony will be held Friday, April 11 at 2 p.m. at the Cana-dian Museum of Flight at the Lang-ley Regional Airport (Hangar #3, off 216 St.). People are invited to come celebrate when Brazier, and other organizers receive the world tro-phies for Women of Aviation World-wide Week 2014.

“Come say hello to some of the pilots that fl ew during this amazing event. Share your enthusiasm and help get us revved up for next year,” said Brazier.

Heavy rainfall washes out Township road

Brent Parent appeals 12-year driving ban

The monsoon rains that drenched Langley on the weekend didn’t cause too many problems in Langley Township, but it did cause a washout in the 3100 block of 232 Street, said Township assistant fi re chief Bruce Ferguson.

“An existing storm pipe washed out in the storm,” said Township water re-sources engineer Meghan Lee.

She said the storm pipe wasn’t part of the new in-frastructure in the area, but is tied into the project. The road there was closed for much of the summer. It was again closed for part of the weekend, after the washout occurred.

With the washout, more than three metres of as-phalt crumbled away. The storm pipe was off on the shoulder, so that shoulder is in bad shape, she said.

The Township has been working on replacing a main culvert in the area as well as a slope stabil-ity and drainage project which is still underway.

Township road works and engineering were busy Monday working on the road. The road is down to single-lane, alter-nating traffi c.

The hope is to have it re-opened both ways by later this week. Lee said no ve-hicles were caught up in the fl ooding.

At least one vehicle end-ed up in the ditch after hitting pooling water just off the 232 Street exit on Sunday night.

But Langley did manage to avoid the power outag-es that hit the rest of Met-ro Vancouver. This was the second rainiest Sep-tember since 2004, reports Environment Canada.

Jack Shields, 6, was among nine young pediatric oncology patients at Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH) who got a chance to drive miniature electric Ferraris in front of the new Critical Care Tower on Sept. 22. The racetrack was provided by Friends of Ferrari, a charity that has also donated $5,000 to the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation. Shields, who lives in Langley, was diagnosed with a form of leukemia on March 11, and is receiving treatment at SMH and the BC Children’s Hospital.

LAWYER ARGUES PENALTY WILL MAKE IT TOUGH FOR LANGLEY MAN TO FIND WORK

Brent Parent was in the B.C. Court of Ap-peal in Vancouver on Monday hoping to reduce his driving ban.

Parent, 43, is appealing his 12-year driv-ing ban which begins after he is released

from jail. His lawyer will argue that the ban is too

long and will make it diffi cult for Parent to fi nd work.

In May 2012, a B.C. Supreme Court judge sentenced the Langley man to fi ve and a half years behind bars and a 12-year driv-

ing ban for the 2008 hit and run death of 21-year-old Silas O’Brien.

In front of a full courtroom in New West-minster, Judge Terence Schultes said he wanted to strike a balance between the Crown’s request to see Parent go away for eight years and the defense’s suggestion

of three to four years.He also hoped that Parent would take

advantage of anger management counsel-ling that will be made available to him in jail.

Brazier, who holds a commer-cial pilot and helicopter licence and has fl own as a bush pilot and helicopter pilot for the past 20 years, created this event to encourage and get females in-

terested in the aviation indus-try.

Currently, only two per cent of aircraft engineers are women and only six per cent of com-mercial pilots are women.

Bigger event planned for next year

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

Two of the three “combo project” overpasses under con-struction in the Langleys and surrounding area are all but fi n-ished, while the third should be done by the end of July, accord-ing to a memo from the Town-ship of Langley engineering di-vision to council.

“Both the 196 Street and 54 Avenue overpasses have been substantially completed,” the unsigned March 28 document states.

But no date for an offi cial opening to traffi c has been set, the memo adds, noting the tim-ing is up to the City of Surrey as the “project delivery agent” and the provincial ministry of trans-portation.

“Factors being considered include the completion of the connecting road network with the City of Langley and City of Surrey, as well as the com-pletion of the 192 Street Over-pass [expected on] July 31,” the memo goes on to say.

Work on the fi nal stages of the 196 Street overpass project will mean evening shutdowns of Fraser Highway at Willow-brook Drive, Willowbrook Drive at 196 Street and 64 Avenue at 196 Street until the end of April.

The three “combo” overpasses in Langley and Surrey involve crossing of the railway tracks

at 192 Street, 54 Avenue and 196 Street. They are part of the $307 million Roberts Bank Rail Corridor project to reduce con-gestion and the potential for vehicle collisions by building overpasses and directing com-muters away from level cross-ings.

As well as the combo project, there is also the Glover Road/Mufford Crescent project, which is still under construction, and the 232 Street crossing north of Highway 1, which opened to traffi c last month.

The Roberts Bank Rail Corri-dor currently carries up to 18 trains a day, ranging from 6,000 to 9,500 feet in length.

That is expected to become up to 38 trains daily by 2021 with some trains as long as 12,000 feet.

The corridor has about 66 rail crossings, including 12 over-passes, 38 public level crossings, and 16 private level crossings.

About 388,000 vehicles cross the tracks every day, a number expected to rise to 560,000 by 2021.

Two overpasses are done

The 196 Street overpass crosses Langley Bypass as well as the rail-way tracks, and is substantially complete.

Should fi nes and other penalties for distracted driving be increased substantially?

Do you agree with planned changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve??of the week

Questionwe asked you:Last Week

Mike Harcourt was probably too nice a guy to become premier of B.C., especially as the fi rst leader of the NDP to win power after the fondly-remembered (by NDPers, at least) Dave Barrett government of 1972-1975. The Barrett

government was the fi rst NDP government to ever take power in B.C., after being in opposition as the CCF and NDP for almost 40 years.

Harcourt led the party back to power after 16 years in the wilderness. He had earlier served as mayor of Vancouver. He styled himself “Moderate Mike,” a fairly accurate label, as he tended to try and make as many people happy as possible, and not bash business quite as much as some of his colleagues were prone to do.

However, he fell victim to the endless plotting that seems to be part of the NDP’s DNA. Barrett had taken over after Tom Berger failed to win power in 1969, in an election the NDP were sure they could win. Barrett was then knifed by labour allies in his last year in power.

Harcourt was under pressure over the Nanaimo Com-monwealth Holding Society, an NDP-controlled organiz-tion involved in many questionable fi nancial moves. He had nothing to do with it, but the fact that it came out on his watch caused some of his cabinet, notably Moe Sihota, Joan Smallwood and Glen Clark, to go after him.

Despite the shoddy way he was treated, he remained a member of the NDP and campaigned regularly for them. In January, he decided not to renew his membership, a fact made known earlier this week. It received a lot of media attention, not surprisingly, given the fact that he endorsed Adrian Dix’s campaign less than a year ago.

Harcourt said the Kinder Morgan fl ip-fl op, attack on Car-ole James’ leadership (do we detect a pattern here?) and NDP fi ght against the carbon tax in 2009 caused him to not bother paying his dues this year.

Those are reasonable doubts, and his action will cause many within the NDP to ponder just where their party is headed, as it undergoes its second leadership campaign in three years.

Most political fi ascoes fade away. Proroguing parliament can hurry it along. Or, in the case of B.C. politics, simply announce you’re not sitting for, oh, most of the session seems to do the trick.

But there’s a different kind of storm brewing, one that governments can’t seem to spin off the table and out of public scrutiny. It’s the Culture of Entitlement storm. It seems to go hand-in-hand with being one of the upper echelon these days.

It has an impressive list of honourary (not honourable) members, and includes the likes of Linda Reid, Jenny Kwan, Alison Redford, Mac Harb, Mike Duffy, Pamela Wal-lin, Patrick Brazeau, and Bev Oda (remember the orange juice?). And ... and ... and ....

The list sure gets long. So, what is a politician to do? Espe-cially when your own party members (and in all likelihood yourself) are ensnared in the Culture of Entitlement. If the voting public in B.C. is looking to the party of opposition for leadership by example, they won’t fi nd it. One of their own got caught benefi tting from the proceeds of the public purse. So Adrian Dix appears to be content with mumbling about Jenny Kwan’s “right decision” and ducking the issue. Proba-bly in the hopes that this storm, too, will pass.

This tactic-of-old may have once been a good one. Any pol-itician worth her salt knows that elephants never forget, but voters sure as heck do. But this storm is one of epic propor-tions, and it’s being fed from multiple sources. Politicians. Crown corporations. Executive offi cers. Banks. Telecommu-nication companies. Multinationals. The list goes on.

And because the reference base comes from almost any-where amongst the membership of the one per cent club, and because there really is no singular supreme leader (that we know of), the spin is not really controllable.

It is time for those in positions of power, in the name of democracy, to begin again. But this time, instead of focus-ing on entitlement, how about focusing on genuine integ-rity and honour?

Intriguing fundraiserhighlights poverty

The Langley Kiwanis Club had an intriguing idea to raise awareness about child poverty.

The club had planned a fund-raiser today, to raise money to help Langley’s poorest families buy food. (It was cancelled due to low ticket sales).

While it may not be obvious on the surface, there are a signifi cant num-ber of families in this community where children do not receive prop-er nutrition. A number of meal pro-grams at schools help, but ultimately some families do need this kind of assistance.

The intriguing part of the $20 per person dinner fundraiser was this: four people were to get an elegamt dinner, with the re-mainder to receive a bowl of rice. The four getting the elegant dinner would be deter-mined by draw, and it is likely that’s a draw they would rather not win.

Hearing about this caused me to think about how many people around the world don’t get proper nutrition. This is partic-ularly true in areas where agricultural prospects are poor, or where war or other confl ict has made access to food diffi cult. Poverty is part of the problem, but based on my experience in visiting two African countries in December, it is less of a chal-lenge than the other two factors.

In Sierra Leone, one of the world’s poor-est countries, food is plentiful. The country is ideally situated for agriculture, with al-most any kind of crop possible. People who live outside the capital city of Freetown have access to plenty of food, which they can grow (and most do grow at least some), or buy for a minimal amount of money.

Freetown is somewhat different. Many

refugees fl ed there from the coun-tryside during a brutal civil war that lasted until 2002, and haven’t left. It isn’t possible to grow a lot of food there because of overcrowd-ing. Many people live along steep hillsides where growing crops wouldn’t be easy.

While there is no shortage of food (and clean water) available to buy on the street, it requires cash, something the poorest people in the country have little access to.

Yet, in the time I spent in Freetown, I did not see anyone who was obviously mal-nourished. Most people are lean — there are almost no overweight people on the streets. But most appear to be able to get enough to eat.

One other factor is access to health care. There is no government medical program — people are on their own when it comes to health care. There are hospitals and clinics in all the larger communities, and access to antibiotics and other medicine is not a major problem. But many people simply do not have enough money to buy medicine.

Thus people who are weak — the young and the old in particular — die in far great-er numbers than they do here, simply be-cause of lack of access to medicine. Sierra Leone’s average lifespan is under 50, and this is due to the fact that many children die in the fi rst years of life from diseases such as malaria, typhoid and yellow fever.

We do have challenges in Canada, but for the most part, they can be met much more easily than in many other parts of the world. Access to health care, and a good supply of food, make a huge difference.

Editor: On behalf of the Langley Senior Resources Society, we would like to thank the City of Langley for their generous contribution to the Langley Senior Resources Society. For the past 20 years, we have been grateful for the City’s annual con-tribution to help with the ongoing costs associated with running the centre, and in particular, assistance in paying down our mortgage.

We were pleased, but somewhat surprised, by the motion put for-ward at the December council meet-ing to pay off the existing mortgage early so that we will not have that cost to incur past 2014.

Many people associate a mortgage being paid off with all of the debt, funding concerns and operational cost pressures disappearing. Unfor-tunately, this is not true in our case, because of the growing demograph-ic of seniors in the Langley area, and an increasing membership looking to us to provide much-needed ser-vices that are not available from the City or Township of Langley.

Financially, we continue to struggle on a monthly basis as the costs to run our services continues to increase. Al-

though we receive grants for specifi c programs such as Better at Home or our Adult Day Program, funding for operational issues such as heat, light, maintenance and repairs is much more diffi cult to acquire.

Along with general operational concerns, we also have to plan for the fact that our 20-year-old build-ing and its equipment is in need of repairs, updating and ultimately re-placement. Hence, we will have an ongoing need to rely on our mem-bers and the community for spon-sorship and donations to help us continue to provide vital programs and services for the seniors of Lang-ley, and the operation of the Seniors Centre, as we go forward.

Once again, we would like to say thank you to the City of Langley for the past support and commitment. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the City to ensure a mutually benefi cial quality of life is assured for all the seniors in Langley.

BARB STACK, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR,

Editor: I am contacting you regarding an ongoing issue in my neighborhood. People pushing for more parking do not represent the majority of homeowners in the com-munity of Yorkson South homes.

My husband and I purchased our home in April 2012. Never once did the develop-er or their employees mislead us regarding the parking regulations along 80 Avenue. In fact, my husband and I purposely bought our home, which is on 80 Avenue, due to the fact that we were told there would not be street parking, but there would be bike lanes.

For the 2013 holiday season, Langley Township council permitted parking along 80 Avenue, and it was infuriating to say the least. People visiting our neighbours were coming and going at all hours of the day and night and it was a nuisance.

I do not regret my decision to fi le a com-plaint in January when the no parking signs along 80 Avenue failed to be uncov-ered by the stated date.

The actual issue is not the lack of visi-tor parking. It is due to a number of con-tributing factors, including homeowners with multiple tenants in illegal basement suites, unregistered personal businesses and homeowners not utilizing the parking allotted to them.

Each home in Yorkson South, as I am sure you are aware, has been allotted three parking stalls. Each home has a double car garage and a single outdoor spot adjacent to the garage.

If you were to do a survey, you will fi nd there are some people who have upwards of six vehicles per household, which in-cludes personal and work vehicles. You will also fi nd out that many people living in Yorkson South do not use their two-car garage for its intended purpose.

There are some people who operate personal businesses out of their homes, which may or may not be registered with the Township. One renter operates a busi-ness out of the garage.

The people with small businesses in a residential area are monopolizing the parking for their clients. To makes mat-ters worse, more often than not these are the people who are also violating the no parking regulation in the alley behind 80 Avenue.

Another major issue is the overpopu-lation within the Yorkson South homes. There are renters who are subletting out parts of the houses to other renters. There are some households with extended fam-ilies living with them. The illegal suites within the homes are a major contributing factor to the limited visitor parking. These houses are a single family dwelling, with the possibility of one renter.

Those pushing for more parking fail to take into consideration the bike lanes along 80 Avenue and the cyclists who de-pend on them for their personal safety. As the area continues to grow, so does the increase in traffi c. We know cyclists who have been critically injured due to the lack

of bike lanes.My husband is a member of emergen-

cy services and has seen fi rsthand the life saving benefi ts of bike lanes. We will always support a council that maintains a green initiative and includes bike lanes when neighborhoods are being developed.

Residents living along 80 Avenue will be negatively impacted by the removal of the no parking regulations. We are the ones who should be consulted.

There are other important issues in the area. For example, there is a desperate need for a pedestrian-controlled crosswalk at the corner of 80 Avenue and 211 Street.

If the underlying issues, including home-owners with multiple tenants in illegal basement suites, unregistered personal businesses and homeowners not utiliz-ing the parking allotted to them, are ad-dressed, the parking issues will resolve themselves.

H. KENDELL,LANGLEY

Residents along 80 Avenue do not want more street parking

Editor: I created both the “Leave Brookswood Alone” Facebook page and blog in September 2012. I did so to alleviate frustration over the Township’s efforts to turn Brookswood into an-other Willoughby (with all due respect to the Willoughby residents).

When I attended the original so-called “work-shop” meeting the Township set up for Brook-swood residents, the high-density agenda was immediately apparent when the Township’s AECOM (U.S.-based architecture, engineering, consulting, operations and maintenance) con-sultant declared in a convincing tone that den-sity “was good for the aquifer” and then had the 400-plus residents form into groups to work on a set of prescribed questions, like we were still in elementary school. The subsequent work-shops continued in the same vein and without being honest and direct.

It was heartening when people responded and started to push back against this horrifying agenda, taking action to protect their commu-

nity. This brought about change. The concerned residents of Brookswood held the Township of Langley government to account and reminded the government that it is here to serve Langley residents, not developers or speculators, many (perhaps most)of whom don’t live here.

Thank you to the Township council for doing the right thing in ultimately choosing not to proceed with a questionable, fl awed high-densi-ty development plan for Brookswood.

Finally, thank you to the passionate people of Brookswood/Fernridge and Langley, especial-ly Anna, Ken, Leila, Scott, Jackie, Ann-Michelle, Heidi and many other organizers who came up with great ideas and suggestions and worked so tirelessly to ensure the success of “Leave Brook-swood Alone.”

Our now close-knit community (further thanks to the Township for this) remains deter-mined to protect the area in which we live.

DAVID CHAMBERS,

LANGLEY

Editor: Re: the failed Brookswood and Fern-ridge Community Plan amendment.

Brookswood is a 40-year-old mature commu-nity of quarter-acre lots, and Fernridge is a clean slate, brought on by a moratorium on any subdi-viding 25 years ago.

Having these two diverse communities in the same development plan is not good plan-

ning. As long there is only a single plan for both communities, Brookswood residents are always going to outvote the less-densely pop-ulated Fernridge, and then nothing will ever get approved.

Papa, a Eurasian lynx who was rescued by Greater Vancouver Zoo in 2000, has died. He was about 19 years of age.

Contributed photo

The staff of the Greater Van-couver Zoo and veterinarian Dr. Bruce Burton made the diffi cult decision to humanely eutha-nize their eldest Eurasian lynx, named Papa, on Thursday, April 3.

“The decision to euthanize was based on Papa’s diffi culty breathing and inability to swal-low,” said zoo spokesperson Jody Henderson.

“Biopsy results of a mass in the nasal cavity confi rmed ad-enocarcinoma (cancer). Papa’s fi rst sign of illness was nasal

discharge noticed on Feb. 4. He was treated with several differ-ent antibiotics, anti-fungal, and anti-infl ammatories with no positive results, and we felt his quality of life was not accept-able anymore.”

The zoo has rescued numer-ous exotic animals over the years, including Papa, who was rescued from a private owner back in 2000 in poor bodily con-dition. After months of contin-ual care Papa was nursed back to health as a healthy Eurasian lynx.

The Greater Vancouver Zoo does not encourage individuals to keep exotic animals such as a lynx for a pet. Lynx are typi-cally skittish, very private and solitary animals, in addition to having specialized needs which the average person is not famil-iar with.

Papa was approximately 19 years old. The median life ex-pectancy for Eurasian lynx is 15 years. They are listed as “least concern” conservation status by the IUCN (International Union of Conservation of Nature) Red List.

A tanker loads oil from the Westridge Terminal of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain oil pipeline in Burnaby.

Contributed photo

JEFF NAGELBlack Press

The National Energy Board will let more than three-quarters of the 2,100 individuals and organiza-tions that applied to par-ticipate to some degree in upcoming hearings into the proposed twinning of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain oil pipeline.

But critics say most par-ticipants will be limited to a written statement and denied the chance to speak directly to the board when oral hearings begin in early 2015.

Several municipalities are among the 400 appli-cants granted intervenor status, including Langley Township.

The other 1,250 ap-proved by the NEB have only commenter status, which is limited to a writ-ten statement. Another 450 were excluded alto-gether.

“A lot of people’s appli-cations were downgraded,” said Burnaby-Douglas NDP MP Ken-nedy Stewart. “They’re cutting people out of the process.”

The Conservative federal gov-ernment altered the NEB hear-ing process after the lengthy Northern Gateway pipeline hearings, eliminating the op-tion for commenters to speak and requiring applicants to demonstrate they’re directly impacted by the project or hold relevant expertise.

“It’s a sad day for democracy in Canada, when nearly a thou-sand people who stepped up to take part in a complex reg-ulatory process to have their say about a project of national signifi cance are shut out of the hearings,” said Christianne Wil-

helmson of the Georgia Strait Alliance, which was granted in-tervenor status.

The $5.4 billion project would twin the 60-year-old oil pipeline that runs from northern Alberta to Burnaby, nearly tripling capac-ity to 890,000 barrels per day, and resulting in a fi ve-fold jump in the number of oil tankers pass-ing through Vancouver harbour. The second 1,150-kilometre line would carry mainly diluted bitu-men for export to Asia.

The municipalities of Victo-ria, Vancouver, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby, Port Moody, Belcarra, Coquitlam, New Westminster, Richmond, Surrey, White Rock, Langley Township, Abbotsford and Hope were all approved as intervenors.

Other intervenors include the

federal NDP, Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver, nu-merous First Nations and environmental groups, oil companies, Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proj-ect, unions, and the B.C. and Alberta governments.

There will be 12 top-ics up for discussion at the hearings, including potential environmen-tal and social effects of the project, cumulative environmental effects, the potential impact of tanker shipping, aborigi-nal impacts, contingency planning for spills, acci-dents and malfunctions and the economic feasi-bility of the project.

Off limits are discussions about the impacts of ex-ploiting Alberta’s oil sands as well as climate change impacts from eventually burning the oil.

The full oral hearings begin next January, but aboriginal traditional ev-idence will fi rst be heard

this August and September.The NEB also on Wednesday

declared Kinder Morgan’s pipe-line expansion application to be complete.

Stewart called that “a joke” because the route is not fi nal-ized and the existence of alter-nate corridor options in key ar-eas has sowed public confusion over where the pipeline will ul-timately go.

He predicts many people who thought they weren’t affect-ed will ultimately discover the pipeline goes near their homes, possibly resulting in expropria-tion.

A report by the NEB on the project, along with recommen-dations to the government, is required by July of 2015.

The road that runs in front of the Langley Fundamental Elementary School will get three speed bumps and a raised crosswalk this summer.

A report to Langley Township council from the municipal engi-neering division said that option was selected by more than half the people who attended a February open house on traffi c calming for 50 Avenue near 217B Street where it runs in front of the school.

Construction is scheduled to begin

this summer and will cost $34,500, the report said.

Langley Fundamental has more than 500 K-to-5 students.

In an online description, the school says it “is an alternate pro-gram that has operated for the last 35 years within the public school system” which emphasizes a “consistent, structured approach to instruction and learning … at-tainment of skills in a systematic, sequential manner [and the] es-tablishment of a clearly defi ned standard of behaviour.”

There seems to be a link between the incidence of non-melanoma skin cancers and the development of other cancers. A study from Boston of more than 170,000 health

professionals demonstrated that people with basal cell carcinoma have a 15 per cent risk of other cancers while those with squamous cell carcinoma had a 26 per cent increased risk. Both men and women were at risk for melanoma, but women were also at greater risk for breast and lung cancers. Use sunscreen!

Routine PSA testing to screen for prostate cancer is controversial. This is because the test is not specifi c enough to detect only cancer – false positives can be caused by benign prostatic enlargement or infection. And, often any cancers detected are so slow-growing, they would never be a factor in the man’s life. As a result, many men are subjected to the signifi cant side-effects of treatment unnecessarily. Experts say money would be better spent developing a better test.

We’ve all heard of the benefi ts to baby of breastfeeding, but researchers have found it benefi ts mom too! They studied the histories of women diagnosed

with breast cancer between 2004 and 2009 and found that non-smokers who breastfed their babies developed cancer later, independent of other risk factors such as family history. And, those who breastfed their babies for greater than six months staved off cancer 10 years longer than average.

Cervical cancer is the third most common gynecological cancer and one-third of women who develop it die as a result. It is often the result of HPV infection, so HPV vaccinations should improve the cervical cancer rate. Scientists are studying two drugs generally used for other purposes (one is an antifungal, the other is a blood treatment) that show promise in treating cervical cancer – especially if it is caught early, and that means regular pap tests.

April is Cancer Month. A cancer diagnosis can be an overwhelming and frightening experience. You can talk to our pharmacists to help you wade through all the information, or visit www.cancer.ca.

The monsoon rains that drenched Langley on the weekend didn’t cause too many problems in Langley Township, but it did cause a washout in the 3100 block of 232 Street, said Township assistant fi re chief Bruce Ferguson.“An existing storm pipe washed out in the storm,” said Township water re-

sources engineer Meghan Lee.She said the storm pipe wasn’t part of the new in-

frastructure in the area, but is tied into the project. The road there was closed for much of the summer. It was again closed for part of the weekend, after the washout occurred.With the washout, more than three metres of as-

phalt crumbled away. The storm pipe was off on the shoulder, so that shoulder is in bad shape, she said.

BRENDA ANDERSON @LTarts604.514.6752 • entertainment@langleyt imes.com

BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

Canada and El Salvador are separated by just three countries — the United States, Mexico and Guatemala.

But in many ways, they are worlds apart, say an Agassiz couple who are attempting to draw the two nations closer together, through a system of mutually benefi cial commerce — not to mention a bit of fash-ion and fun.

On Saturday, April 12, Keith and Maria McPherson will host a fashion show in Langley, which they hope will have a pro-found effect on people living in improver-ished Central American nations.

The Mayan Cultural Fashion Evening, presented by the McPhersons’ organiza-tion, Maya Corn Connection, will include an exhibit of traditional clothing, designed and sewn in El Salvador and Guatemala, as well as a demonstration of traditional dance from the Mayan region of the Amer-icas, wine and hors d’oeuvres.

The purpose of the event is to help sup-port rural artisans in those two countries — many of whom are single mothers, struggling to feed and clothe their own children, explained Maria.

The couple mounted a similar show in Agassiz last year, fi lling a small 80-seat Anglican Church and raising funds to send back to Maria’s native El Salvador.

“It was very well received. It’s what en-couraged us to go to Langley,” said Keith, who is charge of marketing for Maya Corn Connection.

The one bit of criticism the couple re-ceived following their Agassiz show was that they only promoted the work of art-ists who live in Central America — not lo-cal artists and artisans.

It was feedback they took to heart.This time, they will incorporate the work

of a local jewelry maker — Funky Cool Pa-tina’s Patricia Burnett.

Burnett’s work, which can be viewed at the Langley Arts Council gallery on Fraser Highway, is often inspired by music, with many items containing pieces of actual musical instruments or song sheets.

“We loved her work. We thought, ‘Let’s go with Patricia and see where it takes us,’” said Keith.

“It’s a beautiful thing because there is an exchange of culture and art,” said Maria. “All of the pieces have meaning for the de-signers and for tradition.”

The Azul Nonualco line of clothing, which will be on display April 12, is created by a family-owned co-operative.

It is recognizable by the indigo dye that

is used to colour the 100 per cent cotton fabric, imported from Brazil or Guatemala.

The blue dye, from which the company takes part of its name, has natural anti-bacterial and deodorizing properties, and it has been used for 1,000 years, said Keith.

“They make beautiful patterns in the dye,” he said.

One of the company’s iconic designs is a butterfl y, meant to signify transformation, beauty and freedom.

A second line — Iquiti — is the product of a Mayan priestess who incorporates tra-ditional design elements, such as the the sacred corn, into the earth- and skin-tone fabrics she favours.

The fashion show will also feature “waist-woven” shawls and scarves. The weavers fi x a loom around their waists and create woven patterns through the move-ment of their bodies, said Keith.

Maya Corn Connection buys the clothing directly from the seamstresses or their co-op, at local (El Salvador) market prices and pays to have it shipped to Canada.

Here, they sell it at Canadian prices, then subtract the costs of purchasing, shipping and taxes and send the women 40 per cent of the difference.

For every $20 spent here on a piece of clothing, $11 goes to person who made it. The result is that the women earn two to three times what they would get for the clothing if they sold it at a local market, said Keith.

In Canada, the amount of money in-volved is hardly worth considering, but in rural El Salvador and Guatemala, it makes all the difference, said Maria, Maya Corn Connection’s executive director.

“We want to support these single moms. They’re responsible for their kids — for

food, for dressing them.”Through Maya Corn Connection, she

said, the women of El Salvador and Guate-mala are given a voice.

“We give dignity to these women, be-cause we value their work, we provide jobs for them and we help keep families together,” said Maria.

Keeping families intact, in the rural com-munities where the women can raise their children in relative safety.

In order to fi nd a market for their clothes in Central America, the women would have to move into the cities, which can be a dangerous environment for children, said Maria.

Instead, they’re able to stay in their rural communities and support the local econ-omy.

“We’re helping in a very practical way.”Maria speaks from experience. She was

a single mother when she came to Canada with her son in 2008.

Since she’s been here, Maria said, she has learned that women have rights equal to men and feels that she is no longer invis-ible.

“There are only three countries between us, but (El Salvador) is a totally different life,” she said.

“To be a woman there is not easy.”•••

Mayan Cultural Fashion Evening takes place at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church on Saturday, April 12, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Tickets are $30. They may be purchased in advance only (not at the door) and are available from the church offi ce, 20955 Old Yale Rd. Call 604-534-6514.

They can also be reserved through the Maya Corn Connection, either on their Facebook page, by email [email protected] or phone 604-819-7982.

Before the advent of tractors, swathers and combines, when it came to working the land, it was all about true horse power.

The B.C. Farm Machinery Museum will give the horse its due, with an “All Things Horse Day” on Saturday, April 26.

The celebration takes place at the museum on King Street in Fort Langley, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will feature a long list of equine-related at-tractions and demonstrations.

Visitors to the Fort Langley museum that day will be able to watch a professional farrier shoe a large draft horse, learn about horse harness, watch a back country horseman pack a load for the trail and learn about the Pony Comes to School Program.

A number of horse-related industries and agen-cies will be represented, from the Horse Council of B.C. to the Langley Horse and Farm Federation, B.C. Quarter Horse Association, B.C. Heavy Horse Breeders Association and the Horse Protection

Society of B.C.Admission to the museum that day will be free,

courtesy of a donation from the Langley Horse and Farm Federation.

A horse-drawn dairy wagon is among the exhibits on display at the B.C. Farm Machinery Museum. April 26 is “All Things Horse Day” at the museum.

Stacie Dunlop, sopra-no, and Andrea Neu-mann, violin take the stage at Langley Com-munity Music School’s next Concerts Café Classico on Sunday, April 13 to present the provocative and pow-erful work, Kafka Frag-ments.

Pre-concert coffee and commentary held by LCMS artistic direc-tor of concerts Eliza-beth Bergmann is at 3 p.m. followed by the concert at 4 p.m.

“I bought the score for Kafka Fragments many years back, and put them away knowing that one day, with the right per-son, I would learn to perform these,” said Dunlop.

“I knew this would be the per-fect project for us as soon as I met Andrea. It’s a defi nite love/hate relationship working on this piece.

“I love the virtuosity, the po-etry, the microscopic intensity needed to dissect the work, and the same intensity to put it back together again — but it’s also these things that make it such a

challenging work. “It’s been worth the many

hours of practice that has been put into bringing this pretty amazing work to life.”

Kafka Fragments by Hungar-ian composer Gyorgy Kurtag is a set of 40 miniatures that were inspired by the diaries, letters and notebooks of Franz Kafka.

“It’s a very special work, there’s nothing quite like it in the repertoire for either voice or violin,” adds Dunlop. “Contem-porary music can be complex, challenging, boundary- and sometimes back-breaking.

“It’s amazing to be the per-

former of a new work and to bring to life notes on the page for the fi rst time, or in the case of Kafka Frag-ments, to bring an old work that has never been heard before to many communities – it’s a must see for local audiences.

“The piece is chal-lenging to perform. Mostly because of the mental endurance needed to perform a work that is almost 70 minutes long with no

breaks,” said Dunlop. “It is also physically virtuosic

for the voice and violin, rhyth-mically complex, and it is dra-matically challenging to get the mood just right.

“This came more easily, as Andrea and I have fairly good communication as performers, and also the poetry dictates a certain vibe.”

Tickets are $15 adults, $13 se-niors and $10 students. Call 604-534-2848 or visit www.langley-music.com to purchase tickets online. The Rose Gellert Hall is at 4899 207 St. in Langley.

Call it art for the environment; creativity with a conscience.

For the second year in a row, the Township of Langley is teaming up with the Langley Arts Council (LAC) to encourage artists to turn found or recovered materials into masterpieces and in-viting members of the public to come out and see what they’ve come up with.

The Upcycling Design Challenge will culminate on Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22, when the inven-tive results will be on view from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in the LAC Gallery at 20550 Fraser Hwy. The event is free.

“We were so pleased with the amazing pieces we saw last year,” said Township solid waste co-ordinator, Krista Daniszewski. “It is amazing how, with a little creativity, items that would other-wise end up in the landfi ll can become new beau-tiful works of art. Hopefully this year’s event will be bigger and better than before.”

Upcycling means converting waste material into a more valuable or useful product and both the event’s organizers and the public were im-pressed by the thought, talent, and variety that went into last year’s challenge.

“Each artist created something totally unique,” Daniszewski said. “We had everything from a cof-fee table made of hockey sticks and a mat weaved from plastic bags, to jewelry made out of leath-er jackets and even a life-sized ‘hiker’ man (pic-tured) made out of 16 different discarded metal items. I can’t wait to see what Langley artists will come up with this year.”

Aspiring eco artists aged 14 and up are invited to participate by creating a new product using a minimum of 75 per cent found or recovered items. Pieces must be submitted to the Arts Council on April 11 or 12 and prizes will be awarded based on creative use of material, originality, the percent-

age of reused material utilized, practicality, and artistic merit. First place will win $500, with sec-ond place earning $200, and third place receiving $100.

Iron Man by Jim Finley — People’s Choice Award win-ner: this spectacular piece won the hearts of voters and is made from 16 different types of discarded met-als, including car muffl ers, playground swing chains, and a BC Hydro bus brake drum.

The Kwantlen Polytechnic University Chorus will be accompanied by members of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra (VSO) and Vancouver Opera Orchestra (VOO) in a major concert performance in Richmond on April 11 — Mozart: Joy and Sorrow.

The chorus — comprised of KPU Lang-ley music students, faculty, staff and community members — will perform three Mozart works with VOO concert-master Mark Ferris; Dale Throness, KPU voice faculty member; Tom Shorthouse, KPU brass instructor and principal trum-pet with the VOO, and; Caroline Markos, a KPU music alumna, and personal as-

sistant to VSO conductor Bramwell Tov-ey.

“The excitement amongst the Kwan-tlen Chorus members has grown throughout the semester as we’ve been rehearsing and preparing for our all-Mo-zart concert,” said Gail Suderman, direc-tor of voice and choral studies at KPU, and artistic director of Good Noise Van-couver Gospel Choir.

“The feature work, Mozart’s Requi-em, is a powerful and dramatic work that will bring together the chorus, KPU alumni returning as soloists and a pro-fessional orchestra.

“We are honoured to have Mark Ferris,

concertmaster of the Vancouver Opera Orchestra, as our concertmaster for the evening performance.”

The event will feature three Mozart works: Requiem K. 626, Exsultate Jubi-late K. 165 and Piano Concerto K. 467 (Andante).

Hannah Beaton knows the feeling of be-ing helped by others, so the chance to re-ciprocate was an easy decision.

“When I was growing up, my mom (Cindy Pervan) was a single mom and was taking care of me and my sisters,” Beaton said.

“It was really hard for her because she was also going to school, taking care of us, taking us to school, taking care of all our needs as well as being a good mom and loving us.”

Beaton, an 18-year-old Grade 12 student at Langley Fundamental, is the youngest of three with older sisters Amie, 24, and Ellie, 23.

The family was helped by their local food bank and the Christmas Bureau and that aid left a lasting impression on the Langley teen.

“There were a lot of people that helped support us,” Beaton said.

Three years ago, Beaton’s mom came home one day from her job as a special education assistant in Surrey. She told her youngest daughter about a little boy who was walking to school every morning — in the snow — with a pair of shoes that had holes and were held together by tape.

The family ended up buying the boy a pair of snow boots.

It prompted Beaton to do something big-ger by beginning Step in Someone Else’s Shoes, a program which collects and redis-tributes shoes for students in need.

“I just thought there must be a lot more kids like him out there that need shoes,” she explained.

Beaton — who was attending White Rock Christian Academy — asked her class-mates for any old shoes they might be will-ing to donate and set up a donation box in the school’s foyer.

The box was soon overfl owing with do-

nations.When Beaton

changed schools a few years ago to Langley Fundamen-tal, she brought the program with her.

She collects the shoes, washes them herself and then brings them to local schools that have students who could benefi t from some proper footwear.

Beaton goes into the school and sets up a ‘store’ where the kids get to choose like they are shop-ping.

“At fi rst they are re-ally timid, but then they would get com-fortable with me, and before you know it, they are running around in the store and dancing around,” she said.

“It is cute how excited they are.”She fi gures that if a parent can save mon-

ey on not having to purchase shoes, they can use that money on something else to benefi t the kids.

Since beginning the program, Beaton es-timates she has redistributed 450 pairs of shoes to needy students.

And on Thursday (April 3), Beaton was the recipient of the Pete Swensson Out-standing Community Youth Award.

The award is given to a Langley second-ary student in recognition of their athletic, scholastic and community efforts. Person-al qualities such as leadership, work ethic and initiative play a major role in deter-mining the winner.

It is named after Pete Sw-ensson, the Tow n s h i p ’s fi rst recre-ation direc-tor who was c o m m i t t e d to the overall development of youth.

She was one of eight nominees (see pages 26 and 27): Georgie Antle (D.W. Poppy), Aidan Kits (Langley C h r i s t i a n ) , Julianna Mat-son (Walnut Grove), Brian Portner (R.E. M o u n t a i n ) , Michael Pratt

(Brookswood), Devon Stam (Credo Chris-tian), and Amy Whitton (Aldergrove).

“It is a great honour to receive such a re-spected award,” Beaton said.

“The calibre of the others who were nominated was so impressive.

“It inspired me to know that so many others in my community are making such a difference.”

“She really wants to make a difference in her school and her community and that is a huge part of her,” said Mark Rempel, the principal at Langley Fundamental.

“She is a pretty amazing young lady.”Rempel described her as very engaging,

humble and positive.In addition to her work with the shoe

program, Beaton is involved at the school on student council, and is also active both

in the community and abroad.She helps co-ordinate a program called

Family Sports Night to promote play and strengthen family ties and went to Nic-aragau on a humanitarian trip with her school’s Global Education Class, where they helped rebuild a school.

“Through dedication and willingness to help others, Hannah has had a positive im-pact on people she interacts with,” wrote Anita Hopton, a counsellor at Langley Fun-damental, in Beaton’s nomination letter.

Kristin Renville, an outreach director for Langley’s Southgate Church, worked with Beaton on the Family Sports Night pro-gram, with Beaton now having taking over the program from Renville.

“I meet many youth (and) Hannah is ex-ceptional,” wrote Renville in a reference letter for the Swensson Award.

“Many times fi nding help for outreach events is a task in an of itself, but in Han-nah’s case, she showed the initiative, she tracked me down, volunteered and then proved herself more capable than many adults.”

“Hannah came in and immediately showed initiative, leadership and compas-sion,” Renville wrote.

“She came with ideas, led games and made positive connections with the fam-ilies.

“I was surprised to fi nd out she was a high school student.”

“She shows leadership beyond her years and will be impacting her community for years to come.”

And Beaton does all of this while also performing as an elite level track and fi eld athlete.

She grew up playing several sports — soccer, softball and volleyball to name a few — but has settled on track and fi eld, and specifi cally, heptathlon.

Langley Fundamental Grade 12 student Hannah Beaton was the 2014 recipient of the Pete Swensson Outstanding Community Youth Award. She was one of eight nominees from secondary schools in the Township. Beaton, who is off to Trinity Western University on a track and fi eld scholarship in the fall, created the ‘Step In Someone Else’s Shoes’ program a few years ago. She collects old shoes, cleans them up and hands them out to kids in need.

Stepping up to help out others


The Pete Swensson Outstanding Com-munity Youth award is given to a Langley secondary student in recognition of their athletic, scholastic and community efforts. Personal qualities such as leadership, work ethic and initiative play a major role in de-termining the winner.

It is named after Pete Swensson, the Town-ship’s fi rst recreation director who was com-mitted to the overall development of youth.

The award was won by Langley Fundamen-tal’s Hannah Beaton (page 25).

Here is a look at the other seven nominees.

Georgie Antle (D.W. Poppy)

A Grade 12 stu-dent, Georgie Antle has excelled in sports throughout high school and started with the Langley Mus-tangs Track and Field Club in Grade 7.

She advanced to the high performance Gold Group and holds one of the Mustangs’ top ten awards for discus. A member of the Pop-py track and fi eld team, she has also played volleyball and basket-ball.

Sports have given her the opportunity to travel, attend training camps, and receive nu-merous awards.

Antle has passed her expertise on by coach-ing and score-keep-ing for others. As well, she volunteers at car shows, games, and tournaments.

An honour roll stu-dent since Grade 8, she is also an outstanding musician and pho-tographer, and has taken on leadership roles backstage in her school’s musical the-atre productions.

Antle represented

D.W. Poppy at the Arts and Culture Week of Encounters Canada last year.

•••Aidan Kits (Langley

Christian)An award-winning

Grade 12 student at Langley Christian School, Aidan Kits is taking high level ac-ademic courses, fo-cusing on math and science, and has main-tained a consistent 95 per cent average.

Equally strong on the fi eld, he has played volleyball, basketball, and soccer at the gold and silver level.

Aidan has also been involved in cross coun-try and track and fi eld, with both his school and with the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club.

With the Mustangs, he practices fi ve days a week as part of the gold performance group.

A constant top-ten performer, he com-peted in the 2010 B.C. Summer Games and took third place in the 400m competition at the 2013 provincial high school track and fi eld championships.

A volunteer referee and scorekeeper who looks after children at his church, Kits is interning with his school’s athletic direc-tor to help organize schedules and tourna-ments.

He also volunteered at the NORCECA Conti-nental volleyball tour-nament.

•••Julianna Matson

(Walnut Grove)When your physics

teacher ranks you in the top fi ve per cent of the students he has taught over the past 25 years, you know you are doing pretty well academically.

Julianna Matson is a Grade 12 Walnut Grove Secondary student who is consistently on the ‘A’ and ‘effort’ hon-our roll. A member of several school clubs — including Human-itarian and Me-to-We — she has also been recognized for her ar-tistic and writing skills.

A competitive swim-mer and soccer play-er who completed a half marathon and sprint triathlon last year, Matson has qual-ifi ed provincially in cross-country and track and fi eld for the past two years.

An enthusiastic com-munity volunteer, Ju-lianna has helped out with the Relay for Life, Yorkson Creekside Clean-Up, at Christ-mas in Williams Park, and with the Canadian Cancer Society.

Matson was present-ed with a Super Con-tribution Award by her school last year and will be representing Walnut Grove at the UBC Student Leader-ship Conference.

•••Brian Portner (R.E.

Mountain)His school’s student

council president, Bri-an Portner has been regarded as one of the school’s most commit-ted and involved stu-dents since he arrived in Grade 8.

Five years later, he achieves straight A’s and ranks second in the demanding Inter-national Baccalaureate program.

A leader both on and off the fi eld, he has been a mem-ber of Mountain’s cross-country and track and fi eld teams

D.W. Poppy’s Georgie Antle (above), Langley Christian’s Aidan Kits (below), and Walnut Grove’s Julianna Matson were among the nominees for the 2014 Pete Swensson Outstanding Community Youth Award.

The heptathlon consists of seven events — 100m hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200m, long jump, javelin throw and 800m — held over two days.

“I have done so many different sports since I was little so it was really hard for me to just pick one

sport,” Beaton said.“So I still get to do my jumping,

my throwing, my running, I get to do them all in one sport.”

She credits her stepfather, Ward Pervan, for teaching her the nuanc-es of some of the throwing events from his background in the sport.

Beaton has competed both local-ly with the Langley Mustangs Track

and Field Club, and nationally, fi n-ishing fi fth in the heptathlon at the 2013 Canadian Legion youth track and fi eld championships.

Beaton is ranked fourth in the country in javelin at the junior age level.

And in the fall, she joins the track and fi eld program at Trinity West-ern University, where she plans on

studying nursing.She called Trinity Western her

dream school.“It is close to home, I love the

environment — it is relaxed and faith-based — plus the track team is growing,” she said.

Beaton plans to study nursing while she competes on the Spartans track and fi eld team.

since Grade 9. Training twice a week for

both sports, he keeps the teams on track by helping with practices, arranging rides, collecting forms, and motivating his fellow ath-letes.

Since 2012, Matson has volunteered at Langley Memorial Hospital where he is a leader with the Vol-unTEEN program. A Sun-day School teacher at his church, he also contributes to his school’s Restorative Action team, is a Township of Langley recreation volun-teer, and has achieved the silver standard of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

•••Michael Pratt (Brookswood)The recipient of a Queen

Elizabeth II Diamond Jubi-lee Medal and the Rotary Club’s Paul Harris Fellow, a representative at Prime Minister Harper’s Round Ta-ble, and an honourary vet-eran, are some of the things 16-year-old Michael Pratt has already accomplished.

A Grade 11 Student at Brookswood Secondary, Pratt has made headlines for co-founding the Langley Youth for the Fallen Walk to

Remember with his sister at the Derek Doubleday Arbo-retum to honour the Cana-dian soldiers who lost their lives in Afghanistan.

At school, he is a provin-cial champion in French public speaking and has maintained at least a 90 per cent average since Grade 8.

Named the male athlete of the year for the three years he has been at Brookswood, Pratt is a red belt in karate who participates in soccer, track, and cross country.

His skill in basketball has seen him named team captain, chosen for all-star teams, and invited to par-ticipate with an elite bas-ketball travel team and at the Basketball BC regional training centre.

•••Devon Stam (Credo Chris-

tian)A member of the student

action leadership team that runs intramural and lunch hour events, Devon Stam is a Grade 12 student at Credo Christian who maintains a 90 per cent average and has been on the honour roll with distinction every term since Grade 8.

He is just as actively in-

volved in the community, serving on the Township of Langley’s Youth Adviso-ry Committee and on the Community and Transpor-tation Safety Advisory Com-mittee.

Stam also serves dinner at Building 272 in Alder-grove and participates in Youth Group activities at his church.

Stam excels in sports, from soccer, volleyball, and basketball to badminton, track and fi eld, and hockey.

In soccer, he was brought up to the starting lineup for the senior team when he was only in Grade 10.

That team went on to place second in the Fraser Valley, and Stam was named player of the game at the provincial championships. He has also been named captain of both his soccer and basketball teams.

•••Amy Whitton (Aldergrove)Chances are if you were to

look for Amy Whitton, you would fi nd her in a pool.

A Grade 12 student at Al-dergrove Community Sec-ondary, Whitton has been involved in synchronized swimming for seven years, doing team, duet, and solo routines.

This year she is on two teams and trains six days — a total of 27 hours — each week.

The work has paid off as Whitton is recognized as one of the top athletes in the province and last year her team was second at the Canadian Open.

She still manages to fi nd the time to study, maintain-ing a high grade point aver-age and honour roll status each year, and to contribute to her community.

A member of Aldergrove’s grad committee, she also tutors students at Betty Gilbert Elementary, has helped feed the homeless on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, and run “Try It” programs to get others in-terested in synchronized swimming.

Aldergrove’s Amy Whitton (clockwise from above), R.E. Mountain’s Brian Portner, Credo Christrian’s Devon Stam and Brookswood’s Michael Pratt were among the nominees for the 2014 Pete Swensson Outstanding Community Youth Award.
