The two portions of Brookswood have different futures.MATTHEW [email protected]

Al French is fine with a new OCP for Brookswood and Fernridge, but like many residents he’s worried about it being done right.

French moved to his lot in what is now designated a development area in the neigh-bourhood in 1987.

“We were concerned about the densities that were proposed then,” French said.

But little development took place for years.

Now the Township is looking to re-start a new OCP process, and has essentially divided Brookswood-Fernridge into two zones.

Existing suburban areas of Brookswood will be left large-ly alone, while the more rural areas including acreages will be the subject of much of the new planning process approved Monday afternoon.

Two weeks ago, Township council was talking about split-ting Brookswood-Fernridge into two halves and only creating an OCP for the Fernridge portion.

The new vote doesn’t official-ly sever the two communities, but it will focus development mostly in those areas loosely

known as Fernridge. The council gave an approval

to a map which divided the area into relatively dense suburban areas and the less dense acre-ages and rural areas.

The developable areas begin at 36th Avenue between 208th Street and 200th Street, and around 33A Avenue between 200th Street and 196th Street.

East of 208th Street, an arm of the developable area reach-es north past 40th Avenue, almost to the boundary between Langley Township and the City.

The last attempt to create

a new Brookswood-Fernridge OCP two years ago ended in failure, with significant opposition from local residents worried about density and mas-sive population growth.

Locals also worried about the loss of trees and increased traffic on major routes, crowded schools, and transit issues.

Landowners within parts of the Fernridge area had pushed

for, and in large part funded, the project to create a new OCP for the area.

Environmental impacts are what bother French, who has a small artificial lake in his back yard. It’s a kind of barometer for the area’s local shallow aquifer. French believes a plan to protect the water, on which homeowners and farm-

ers depend, should be developed first.

Many residents during the 2014 debate over the first OCP sug-gested they did want a new plan, to update the 1980s-era documents that gov-ern local development.

The new planning pro-cess will cost an estimated $150,000

and take a year to 18 months to complete.

The Township is promising community dialogue including workshops and open houses.

The Township has been work-ing on a new public engage-ment process to use during the planning.

DEVELOPMENT

Brookswood plan gets off the ground

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

Al French is one of a number of Brookswood residents who is raising concerns. The dark line on a Township map (inset) shows the areas that could experience more development.

Property taxes will go up again this year in the Township.MATTHEW [email protected]

Township council approved a 3.93 per cent property tax increase for 2016, up slightly from last year’s 3.69 per cent tax increase.

Along with increases to the water, sewer, and solid waste fees, it means approximate-

ly $63 a year in extra taxes for a typical Township household.

The budget passed on a six to three vote, with Councillors Petrina Arnason, Kim Richter, and Michelle Sparrow opposed.

Included in the budget are funds of $320,000 for two new RCMP officers – one to patrol the Willoughby area and an extra school liaison officer – and $537,500 for the road paving program.

Another $537,500 will be put toward a capital infrastructure replacement reserve program.

There is also $100,000 set aside for an anti-litter strategy that aims to reduce illegal dumping, and $145,000 to cover the increasing costs of maintaining the Township’s vehicles and public works equipment.

With the two new Mounties, Langley Township will have hired five new RCMP officers in the last two years.

Langley City was also contemplating hir-ing new RCMP officers this year. City and Township officers work out of the same detachment.

RCMP

Wounded man puzzles policeMATTHEW [email protected]

A reported shooting incident in Aldergrove early on Jan. 21 turned out to be something else, but police are still trying to determine what happened.

The first call to the RCMP came in at about 4 a.m. Thursday morning, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the Langley detach-ment.

A man in a residence near the 27100 block of Fraser Highway said he had been shot.

It is uncertain where or when the incident happened, Largy said.

Officers found a 43-year-old man, of no fixed address, with a wound to the shoulder. He was taken to hospital and his injury is not life threatening.

Largy said police were led to believe the “shooter” might still be in the area. They called in the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team (ERT) to ensure public safe-ty.

While the ERT were still en route, hospital staff told police that whatever had injured the man, it wasn’t a gun. He had not been shot. The ERT were sent back and investiga-tors are now looking for witnesses.

“We believe there was an altercation of some sort,” Largy said.

But what happened, where, and when are still unknown. The victim is not facing char-ges, but is known to police. He remains in hospital, Largy said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. To remain anonymous, contact CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or at www.solvecrime.ca or by texting BCTIP and your message to CRIMES (274637).

Suspects linked to a 2009 killing have been arrested.

MATTHEW [email protected]

Two more men have been charged in relation to the 2009 murder of Kevin LeClair out-side a Walnut Grove grocery store.

On Monday, members of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) and the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) announced the arrests and charges.

The two men, 32-year-old Troy Tran of Vancouver, and another whom police are not identifying publicly, are both charged with conspiracy to commit murder of the Bacon Brothers and their associates.

Investigators linked the char-ges to the death of LeClair, who was gunned down in the parking lot in front of the IGA on Feb. 6, 2009.

Police also linked the arrests to the death of Jonathan Barber.

Barber was killed in Burnaby and was thought to be an inno-cent victim of the gang war. A car stereo installer, he was

driving a car belonging to a suspected gang member when he was shot to death.

The two men arrested recently are among four men now charged who are linked in some way to the death of LeClair.

In 2014, Cory Vallee was arrested in Mexico and deported back to Canada.

Also charged is Conor D’Monte, at the time of the

killing the alleged head of the UN Gang. He remains at large and wanted.

Seven men have been con-victed in various related plots.

The UN Gang was feuding with the Bacon brothers and their Red Scorpions associates at the time of the murders.

Jonathan Bacon was killed in 2011 and his two brothers are both presently in prison on various charges.

Police gathered evidence at the scene after Kevin LeClair was murdered in the parking lot of the Walnut Grove IGA on Feb. 6, 2009.

A court found in favour of a strata bylaw.

MATTHEW [email protected]

A B.C. Supreme Court Judge has ordered a Langley man to stop smoking in his condo unit in a legal dispute over no-smok-ing rules.

Justice Wendy Harris ordered 70-year-old Paul Aradi, a resident of a Langley condo since 2002, to butt out when inside his home.

Residents of the condo, which institut-ed a no-smoking rule in 2009, began com-plaining about Aradi’s smoking in 2013. According to the judg-ment posted online this week, Aradi’s neighbours had com-plained numerous times about smoke drifting into their units, sometimes from open windows. Aradi said he has mobility issues and can’t easily

leave his apartment.The long-running

dispute between Aradi and the condo’s strata council ran until 2015, when the strata took him to court.

Although both sides produced witnesses, on the health effects of second hand smoke from the strata, or on air quality in the building for Aradi, Harris didn’t find either of them credible enough to consider.

She found that Aradi had violated the bylaws, and ordered him to stop smoking.

There was a lack of evidence around Aradi’s mobility.

The strata noted that he has even been filmed for a TV inter-view smoking out on the sidewalk away from the building.

A Human Rights Tribunal hearing will be held in July, which could overturn the rul-ing and allow Aradi to smoke in his unit. But until then, the judge ruled Aradi will have to quit while inside.

Two men will be in court this month.ERIC ZIMMERBlack Press

Ridge Meadows RCMP have arrested two 20-year-old Maple Ridge men in relation to the aggravated assault in Pitt Meadows, on a 20-year-old Langley resident Jan 17.

The assault sent Langley’s Cole Shannon to hospital.

“The investigation has resulted in the arrests of two individuals who police believe are respon-

sible for the serious assault,” said Ridge Meadows RCMP Cpl. Brenda Winpenny.

“The victim’s condition has improved, and it now appears his injuries are felt to be non-life threatening.”

However, she said, “he remains in hospital and it is unknown if there will be any long lasting injury as a result of the incident.”

The two suspects were arrested on Wednesday “and were released on conditions by a jus-tice.”

The pair are due for a first court appearance later this month.


POLICING

Two face assault charges

Police are looking for witnesses who saw the victim on the day of the attack.

The man found dead in a Langley City hotel lived and worked there.

Police have identified him as Kevin Brunelle, 36.

“Langley RCMP was called to a local hotel in the late afternoon of Jan. 22, 2016, when a man was found deceased in one of the rooms. Police determined the death was suspicious and as a result called in the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. Investigators will remain on scene for several hours,” said IHIT Sgt. Stephanie Ashton.

Police determined the death was suspicious and as a result called in the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.

On the afternoon of Thursday Jan. 21, Brunelle was found in the alley behind the Langley hotel.

He was suffering from injur-ies which he may have sus-tained during an assault.

“Mr. Brunelle was assisted back to his room, and was not checked on until the following afternoon when he was found deceased,” Ashton said.

Investigators are now look-ing for anyone who may have information about Brunelle leading up to the time he was found injured in the alley to piece together a timeline.

Anyone with information regarding this investigation can call the IHIT information line by calling 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or email at [email protected] .

OUR VIEW

Opposition a tough gig at first

Pity the poor federal Conservatives.

After nine years in power, they’re back to the opposition benches. And like many former

ruling parties after a stint in power, they are without a permanent leader, and will have to spend some time licking their wounds.

The problem with transfers of power in Canadian politics is that they are usually done when the voters are heartily sick of the governing party. You can come in on a wave of change and enthusiasm, and be kicked out eight or nine years later with a hearty “Good riddance!” from the elector-ate.

The Tories are currently licking their wounds.

But the Tories – and the NDP, and the Green Party’s Elizabeth May – are going to have to pick themselves up, and soon.

It’s tough to be in opposition against a new and still fairly popular governing party. But the role is vital.

Conservative interim leader Rona Ambrose is making a few stabs at Liberal policy, weighing in on the Energy East pipeline and is pushing for the TPP trade deal to be ratified. She’s suggesting gov-ernments look at doing something about sky-high real estate prices. So far, it’s been a mixture of talking points left over from the campaign, and a few jabs at the Liberals’ weak spots.

Whoever takes on the full time job of Tory leader will have to do that, and much more. They will have to hold the Liberals’ feet to the fire on a broad range of issues. They will have to criticize from a place of principle. And they will have to articu-late a vision of what a new Conservative Canada would look like – a task made more difficult after a majority of the country decisively rejected the notion of another Conservative government.

The job of an opposition party is two-fold – they must hold the government to account, and they must audition to replace them.

If you do the first job well enough, iron-ically you might fail at the second.

– M.C.

I don’t blame the education system so much as society’s unrealistic expecta-tions warping what it means to have a university education. Some folks

think having a degree means they’re “certified smart.”

We all have things we don’t know, and ignorance is just not knowing some-thing, so we’re all ignorant.

Stupid is not realizing that.The Educated Ignorant are people

who have a piece of paper from a uni-versity that has certified that they know something, and they have extrapolated that into an assumption that they know better.

I believe that is at the bottom of the counter-intuitive prevalence of “edu-cated” minions in the anti-vaxxer crowd.

I’ve been asked for an apology from an engineer with an MS (bolstered by his wife’s BS) who didn’t like my lump-ing anti-vaxxers in with the Educated Ignorant two weeks ago. His feelings were apparently hurt when I said anti-vaxxers are stupid.

I, too, have more than one language. In fact, I even play several musical instruments, and I have written a few pretty nice songs with kick-ass lyrics.

But I don’t actually believe any of that qualifies me to calculate stress loads on bearing beams and cables on major bridges like the Port Mann. Indeed, even the trained engineers didn’t get them all

right, and a big chunk of the bridge fell into the Fraser River while they were build-ing it.

Nevertheless, if I ever write a column about bridge-building, designing a new car, or maybe about putting together electric-al components to make a machine, I might just call an engineer.

But when I’m discussing vaccines, I really have no choice but to put my trust in the overwhelming evidence presented by epidemiologists and others of the medical persuasion, and maybe add results documented in the historical record.

For instance, I might point out that vaccines not only work a hot-damn, they are safe and they save lives... literally millions of lives.

Vaccines eradicated smallpox and decimated former child-killers measles, mumps, diphtheria... the list is long and healthy. Malaria may be next.

When I was president of my Rotary Club (that probably won’t help me get a bridge-building job either) we were involved in a program called Polio-Plus – an effort spear-headed by Rotary and others to eradicate polio... using vac-cines. We expected completion of the

project by 2005.Although we were suc-

cessful in reducing world-wide polio infections from a million per year to just a few thousand, and then a few hundred, total success eludes us to this day.

It’s not because vaccines don’t work, but because volunteers have been kept from extending them into some areas by anti-vaxxers fuelled by politicians who are not above using the dis-ease to maintain control, by others seeing it as a military

strategy, and by still others motivated by distrust born of culture, religion, or ultimately, simple ignorance.

It’s the ignorance of people who should know better that is driving a resurgence of measles and other diseases by withholding vaccinations from inno-cent children in our neighbourhoods.

If an apology is warranted in this mat-ter, it’s the anti-vaxxers – the Educated Ignorant – who really should apologize to their children and to the communities they put at risk.

Legally, they currently have the right to their “personal choices.”

But morally, I consider it child abuse.Read Matthew Claxton’s Painful Truth

Dear Editor,Sent to Township Mayor Jack

Froese:I moved my family here

four years ago from a rapidly changing Richmond neighbour-hood that I did not want my children to grow up in anymore.

We chose South Langley for the unique atmosphere that offers so much to our kids and to us. Clean air and open spaces with trees abound. Minutes from beautiful parks, our school, Noel Booth, and the lovely aquifer area around it. We were the first young family to move onto our street. Now since there are five new families with babies who also moved here and are starting to live our new taxpaying lives here.

I am writing to you regard-ing the new OCP. I am urging you to take utmost care in how you handle this entire process. The residents in this area are still upset about what kind of plan was put forth in the last OCP proposal and are bracing for another ill planned and pocket-lining plan that does not consider this area and the vastly unique aspects about it. I urge you to prove us wrong.

Show us a plan that consults the residents who own here and who brought their families to grow up here and augments the plan based on their input and proper civic area planning to give the Brookswood and Fernridge area residents what we deserve. We deserve a well laid out and different plan to main-tain the aspects that make this area as amazing and unique as it is. You cannot regrow what you

will destroy once you decide.Steps must be taken to pre-

serve our ecosystems and aquifers and the dangers posed by rushed and ill thought out development around this area.

Pay attention to the greater issues affecting our world. The ecosystems are at a tipping point and creating a neighbourhood plan that keeps this intact, lar-ger lots so families can farm their own food and keep carbon farming alive to reverse the damage done to our atmosphere. Permaculture and carbon farm-ing are what we need now in all communities. If you consider this and encourage this you will be among the heroes in this world. Didn’t you go into this position to do just that – make a difference?

Take the time and do this the right way. We will all support the right OCP.

Diana Dawson, mother of three, wife and businessperson,

Fernridge

Another roundDear Editor,

Why is there any chance that developers could dictate to our Langley municipal council on anything?

So here it comes again the Township of Langley wants another plan to divide up land in the Brookswood Fernridge area of South Langley.

The last plan was a complete disaster and the people who live in this area shot it down, and I am sure this cost us the taxpay-ers of Langley plenty.

Now I believe the developers are so sure that they will get

their way, that they are going right on like they have already have the plans done. Just take a drive east on 22nd Avenue into Fernridge Crescent and you will see one of the new kind of hous-es that they are building.

With all the building going on and the great increase in the number of people, does our council really have any plans as to how to keep up with the needed supply of clean water and sewer? What have they in mind as to how to handle the increase in traffic? It seems to me like they don’t even know what to do with 16th Avenue and all the traffic on this road.

Jim Glavin, Langley

Areas linkedDear Editor,

I feel like Prime Minister Trudeau when I say it is with a heavy heart that I send this email. I have lived in Brookswood since 1975, raised and schooled four children here.

I have no words that I can politely utter regarding this plan. I see it is an issue of div-ide and conquer. Fernridge and Brookswood are inextricably intertwined for everyone except the current mayor and council. How are these people who will live in the newly developed Fernridge lands going to get there without passing through Brookswood?

Development in Fernridge affects our roads, schools, hos-pitals, fire protection and ambu-lances. Development fees never cover this totally.

Fatidjah Nestman, Brookswood

Do the OCP right this time

Granddad pro jabDear Editor,

I admire S. Karanglov’s letter to you regarding his and his wife’s feelings on vac-cination by the fact that he is making it pub-lic to everyone who reads the paper.

As a grandfather of six grandchildren all attending elementary school, please contact Mr. Karananflow and ask what school his children attended and what grades. I can then do my utmost to insure that my grand-children do not come into contact with his children. It will be a win, win for both of us.

Tom Faraone, Walnut Grove

Honour volunteersOne of the reasons I’m so proud to be a resident of

Langley Township is because it means I’m a member of an incredible community filled with hard working volunteers who volunteer solely because of their love of people, of helping and of Langley.

Loriann Sandy wants to help dogs with some of her lotto winnings.

GIVING

Doggy donor has lotto lootAn animal lover will help out a dog rescue group.

A Langley woman who won $1 million in a Maxmillion lotto ticket on Dec. 18 says she’s planning to help rescue dogs.

“I still don’t feel this is real,” said Loriann Sandy. “I am still asking myself if this is real.”

Sandy plans to use some of her winnings to buy a large SUV so she can accommodate her cat and two Rottweilers. She will also donate money to Rottweiler Rescue in Vancouver and the BC SPCA.

“I think this is good karma because I love to help animals and I donate to the BC SPCA monthly,” said Sandy.

Sandy bought the winning ticket at Ed’s Market in Langley.

She was alone when she checked and found she had the winning numbers, but was able to drive herself home safely before telling her mother about the big win.

“She is very excited about my win. My mom has already shared the news with the rest of our family,” said Sandy.

A long list of locals have stepped forward.MATTHEW [email protected]

Improve your speech comprehension at work — without attracting attention.

Whether at work, during con versations in small groups or when watching television, one in six adults experience pro blems when it comes to accurate speech comprehension and hearing in everyday situations. Although background noise and music can im pair communication with friends and family, two thirds of those affected still do not use any hearing aids.

There are many reasons for this but for most people it’s that they are not con vinced that hearing aids will significantly benefit them or it’s the unease they feel about attracting attention by wearing a visible hearing aid.

This is why the Swiss manufacturer Phonak has developed a world first: Virto V. These hearing aids are manufactured using a modern 3D printing process that provides a customfit miniature hearing aid that dis appears into the ear canal, making it almost invisible to others. Despite its small size, the latest and most advanced Phonak hearing technology is still contained in the casing.

Virtual function of the ear

“Thanks to a new operating system, these new hearing aids can provide a virtual alternative for natural hearing, as experienced by people with normal hearing. Through intelligent control, the software can improve speech understanding, even in loud situations and by utilizing the 3D printing process, these hearing aids fit the natural anatomy of the ear as closely as possible making them truly a customfit solution.

For some clients, the smaller design of the Virto V hearing aids might possibly replace the more traditional behindtheear hearing aids, and like many of our other products, these hearing aids can easily connect wirelessly with TVs and smartphones,” explains Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of the Swiss manu facturer Phonak.

See how the virtually invisible Virto V fits into your daily routine.

If you are interested in finding out more about these new hearing aids, the first step is to book hearing evaluation and determine if the new Virto V technology is the right solution for you. For those who are hard of hearing, this can be particularly useful for finding out whether it is possible to hear and understand more clearly with discreet inthecanal hearing solutions.

At Connect Hearing we offer you the chance to be among the first to try these stateoftheart hearing aids. Call 1.888.408.7377 to book your complimentary evaluation today.

Shalom Reimer has her sights on the Miss Teen Canada competition in Quebec.TROY [email protected]

Tiaras, runways, swimsuits, heavy makeup, vacuous speeches – all asso-

ciated by many with the pageant world.

Miss Teen BC Shalom Reimer wants to shatter these images, and be a role model at the same time.

After win-ning the Miss Teen BC crown July 5 at Chief Sepass Theatre, the 17-year-old Fort Langley resident plans to represent this province at the Miss Teen Canada pageant, run-ning from March 2 to 6 in Laval, Que.

And she’s doing so on a platform of respect, for her-self and others.

“Pageantry is interesting,” Reimer said, adding, “I don’t believe in swimsuit competitions – I believe they are degrading to women, and not only that, it doesn’t represent women well. Even watching the Miss Universe Pageant, it doesn’t click with me why that’s even needed.”

A Grade 12 student at Surrey’s Pacific Academy, Reimer

has her eye on becoming a high school teacher, with a major in English and a minor in theatre and drama.

In the meantime, she’s follow-ing the path of her mom Caroline, who at 16 won Miss Teen Saskatoon in 1988 and went to the Miss Teen Canada pageant, and the next year captured the Miss

Saskatoon crown and was the second runner up to Miss Canada in 1990.

“She wants me to have a firm strength in who I am,” Reimer said. “Having that background gives me bet-ter purpose for what I am

doing.”“My name means

‘Shalom’ which means peace, so that kind of stuck with me,” Reimer added.

With her role as Miss Teen BC, Reimer has

enjoyed volunteering for local charities, such as The Ronald McDonald House, Terry Fox Run, Cops for Cancer, Global Fire Run for Leukemia, and the Variety Show of Hearts Telethon.

At her school, she started a group for Grade 6 to 8 girls to discuss, she said, “real life issues,” such as self-defeated thoughts, cutting, bullying, suicide, and depression, and pro-vide strategies to overcome them.

Her own personal experi-ences drives Reimer to be a role model.

“I went through middle school and faced differ-ent things, like friends changing, people changing, and myself changing,” said Reimer, big sister to 15-year-old Keteirah, and 12-year-old Corban.

“It was really hard. I knew I could always look to my parents or my teach-ers but I really wanted that high school mentor that I could look up to.”

Through weekly meet-ings, she strives to guide younger teens to become confident and strong lead-ers in their school com-munity.

“If I were to be crowned

Miss Teen Canada, I would use the platform to be a positive example and take the program to other schools to develop leaders nationally,” she said.

Competing in Miss Canada is an expen-sive undertaking:

Reimer figures she’ll need $950 plus taxes which covers her meals, accom-modations and pageant activities for the five days/four nights she’ll be in Quebec. As well, airfare will cost between $900 to $1000 or 5,000 Air Miles (plus taxes).

Reimer explained that cash donations “would [also] go towards expenses such as outfits for the five-day pageant event.”

She’s reaching out to local businesses for help.

Anyone interested in helping can email Reimer at [email protected].

Reimer said going to Miss Teen Canada would be a great experience.

“I don’t see it so much as I need to win this award, it’s more the experience and what I can bring back to B.C. and my hometown,” Reimer said.

“They teach you so many things: there are workshops and fun stuff you get to do down there.”

Volunteers in early 19th century period costume gathered around the fire at the Fort Langley National Historic Site during the Vive Les Voyageurs weekend festival.

Big crowds were at the Fort Langley National Historic Site.TROY [email protected]

French-Canadian workers from Eastern Canada played a huge role in Fort Langley’s formation.

Construction of the first Fort Langley commenced on Aug. 1, 1827, the same year James McMillan arrived on the Fraser River with an Iroquois, a Hawaiian, several Britons and Scots, but mostly French Canadians.

At the peak of its fur trade days, Fort Langley boasted a French-Canadian population

of about one-third of its total employees. As a result, the prin-cipal language spoken among the employees would have been French.

As a tribute to its French-Canadian roots, the fort hosted its annual Vive Les Voyageurs festival, featuring music, Métis dancing workshops in the Big House, maple taffy on a stick, historical presentations, spoons and jigging, French 101 lessons,

and fur trade wed-dings.

This year’s fes-tival was blessed with unseasonably

warm and dry weather, which made it a resounding success, said FLNHS promotions officer Heather Ramsay.

Parks Canada staff welcomed nearly 800 visitors Saturday

and Sunday, which more than doubled the attendance during the rainy French festival week-

end last year.As well, 1,300 students

attended the Vive Les Voyageurs French school programs last week, with another 1,100 expected at the FLNHS this week.

“The excellent weather brought in the crowds,” Ramsay said. “The kids made crafts, and learned finger weaving, while families enjoyed the fort’s his-torical presentations throughout the day.”

Encouraging Canadians to visit their historical places like Fort Langley, Parks Canada allows them to experience the outdoors and learn about local history, Ramsay said: “Building these connections, we can create a community of stewards – people who know and care about these irreplaceable treasures.”

A former TWO student kicks off a new local film festival.TROY [email protected]

NUMB is Jason Goode’s baby.On Friday, Feb. 19 at 7 p.m.

inside the Chief Sepass Theatre at Langley Fine Arts School, he’ll be showing off his pride and joy for all to see, as the local filmmaker’s movie kicks off the Langley International Film Festival (LIFF).

Goode has strong ties to Langley.

While he now lives in White Rock, he attended Trinity

Western University and said he has “spent a lot of time in the community.”

Having his film make its Metro Vancouver premiere at LIFF means a great deal to Goode, especially considering proceeds from ticket sales and concession going to support art and film programs in the Langley School District.

“We’re happy to be using our premiere to help raise funds for the arts in Langley,” Goode said. “It’s great to be able to give back.”

LIFF features six films showing from Feb. 19 to 21, as well as an opening night gala featuring wine, hors d’oeuvres and discus-sions with Goode and his NUMB cast and crew at lelem Arts and

Culture Cafe in Fort Langley fol-lowing the screening.

NUMB is about a couple in financial distress who discover

GPS coordinates that promise to lead to stolen gold.

They must partner up with a pair of mysterious hitchhikers to enter the remote winter wil-derness to recover the bounty of coins.

“On the surface a film about chasing gold is often interpreted as being about greed. But in reality greed is a symptom of some other deeper lack,” Goode explained. “In the case of NUMB, the central ‘disease’ of the four main characters is pride: finding your identity in what you are capable of.”

The movie was previous-ly screened at the prestigious Busan International Film Festival in South Korea, and was the closing gala film at the Whistler

Film Festival, which Goode described as “a huge honour.”

Starring British actor Jamie Bamber (Battlestar Galactica), Marie Avgeropoulos (The 100), Aleks Paunovic (iZombie, War of the Planet of the Apes), and Stefanie von Pfetten (Cracked), as well as Vancouver-based film and stage actors, NUMB will have a limited Canadian theatrical release start-ing March 2.

The film was shot entirely the Okanagan including Vernon, Kelowna, Enderby, and Lumby, over an 18-day period.

Goode said shooting a film in the Canadian wilderness was often quite challenging, “but the crucible of the elements made for a better film in the end.”

ON SCREEN

Frozen fable part of new film fest fundraiserLangleyAdvanceA14 Thursday, January 28, 2016

NUMB, filmed over 18 chilly days in the B.C. Okanagan, kicks off the inaugural local film festival.

Trinity Western University alum Jason Goode directed NUMB, a small, independent Canadian film about a search for stolen gold in the remove wilderness.

Film festival relies on local talent

The film festival is a fundraiser for the Langley School District Foundation.

All screenings will be held at Chief Sepass Theatre at 9096 Trattle St. in Fort Langley.

Tickets are $10 per screening. The gala costs $25. Three-day pass including all six screenings is $50. Watch for more stories about the films in the coming editions.

For tickets or more information, contact Langley School District Foundation execu-tive director Susan Cairns at 604-532-1464 or [email protected]. People can also buy tickets online at www.langleyschooldistrictfoundation.

A joyful number of shrubs and trees start flowering when tem-peratures rise even a little.

One of these is Viburnum bod-nantense. This has clusters of small buds which open a few

pink flowers even before Christmas. The buds close tight in cold spells but unfold into heads of per-fumed flowers in every mild period.

One of the most

eye-catching trees in early spring is the witch hazel. Two supremely fragrant yel-low-flowered ones are the

varieties ‘Arnold’s Promise’ and ‘Pallida.’

Any one of these can perfume a whole yard. But it’s important to know that not all yel-low-flowered witch hazels are fragrant.

Another beautiful January-flowering shrub is Camellia sasanqua. It’s ever-

green and hardy to our climate although it prefers a sheltered spot and winter mulching. Flowers are mainly single in varieties from red (‘Yuletide’ is red) through to various pinks and white.

A beautiful and very fragrant shrub which flowers about now is Daphne mezereum.

Heathers give a great deal while demanding very little care. They like good drainage and acidic soil while needing little nutrition.

In summer, they are extremely drought-re-sistant.

public noticesSites Sought for Langley Ecological Services InitiativeIn partnership with the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation (LSAF) and the Ecological Services Initiative, the Township of Langley is conducting a three-year pilot project called the Langley Ecological Services Initiative (Langley ESI).Langley ESI is a Payment for Ecological Services (PES) program that pays farmers to maintain and enhance areas of environmental and ecological signifi cance. It is a farmer-led initiative designed to demonstrate, analyze, and communicate the PES concept, encourage farmers to adopt Benefi cial Management Practices, and make the case for establishing a long-term program in the Township.A minimum of ten sites will be established for the Langley ESI. The pilot project sites must:• be located along the main stem of Bertrand Creek, downstream

from 264 Street at 24 Avenue• be a bona fi de farm, as defi ned by the BC Assessment Authority• have ecological values (such as woodlots and wetlands),

biodiversity values, fi shery habitat values, riparian habitat values, and/or presence of federally-listed species-at-risk.

LSAF is managing the Langley ESI on behalf of the Township. It will strike a site selection committee composed of farmers, Environmental Farm Plan advisors, and representatives from the BC Ministry of Agriculture, BC Ministry of Environment, and Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society.The amount of payment to farmers is dependent on the fi nal number of participants in the pilot project, which will start in the spring of 2016 and conclude in the summer of 2018.Farmers are invited to apply directly to the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation on or before February 5, 2016, by providing the following information:• Civic address of the property in Langley• Name(s) of the Registered Owner(s)• Name(s) of the tenant(s), if applicable• Contact information such as phone number(s)• A brief description of the type of agricultural activity on site by

stating animal units and total land area dedicated to farming (to determine “farm status”)

Example 1: mixed farming with 100 cows and 1,500 laying chickens on 50 acres.

Example 2: 10,000 square metres of greenhouse plus 10 acres for hay.

• Other relevant information (number of years farming at the site, number of people employed in the business, etc.)

Please send applications to:Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation19915 – 37A AvenueLangley, BC V3A 2S8

After nearly 17 years, Nigel Easton will hand over the Brookswood club’s reins.TROY [email protected]

Nigel Easton offered up a sim-ple, succinct answer as to why, and more specifically when, he decided to retire as manager of the Langley Curling Club.

“When I hit the big 65,” Easton quipped.

Another motivating factor: Easton also wanted to spend more time with his wife Linda, and in anticipation of his final day in April, has scaled back his hours at the Brookswood club as he transitions into retirement.

Over the years, Easton said he put in “long, long hours, seven days a week.”

He gave the club’s board of directors four years notice of his decision and is now there between three and four days each week.

“We’ve hired a replacement, Robyn [Parkes],” Easton said. “She’s been in training and this year she’s basically taken over the whole operation.”

The club – part of the George Preston Recreation Centre in Brookswood – opened in 1973 and started out with only four sheets of ice before expanding to six sheets in 1990.

Easton began managing the club in 1999, after seeing

a “help wanted” ad in the Vancouver Province.

Easton moved to B.C.’s South Coast from Dryden (est. pop., 7,617 in 2011, and best known for its pulp mill and being the home of NHL Hall of Fame member Chris Pronger) after his wife took a job in B.C around Christmas 1998.

“I came out in the spring of ’99,” Easton said.

“My wife found this ad [in the newspaper] and said ‘you should apply for this job,’ because I wasn’t doing any-thing, and that was it.”

Nearly 17 years later, Easton has helped to grow the club from 520 to 800 members.

Also, the club co-hosted the Continental Cup at the Langley Events Centre in 2012, and pre-vious to that, hosted the B.C. men’s provincials at the GPRC in 2007, not to mention the juvenile provincials and several playdowns through the years.

Another of the club’s major successes is its junior program, Easton noted.

To wit: the Langley Curling Club/Royal City Curling Club rink of skip Tyler Tardi, third Daniel Wenzek, second Jordan Tardi, lead Nicholas Meister, fifth Sterling Middleton and coach Paul Tardi recently cap-tured the Tim Hortons B.C. jun-ior men’s curling title, to earn a spot at the 2016 Canadian junior championships.

“You are now seeing the Tardi boys representing B.C. and also part of the Youth Olympics, so representing Canada,” Easton said.

“We have a very, very suc-cessful junior program.”

He’s also proud of the fact that he helped grow the club financially, from being $20,000 “in the hole” to having about “$100,000 in the bank.”

Retiring as manager won’t keep Easton away from the club. He curls four times a week and in bonspiels, and plans to continue volunteering at various curling events.

For Easton, curling’s appeal is simple: “It’s the activity, great

exercise, and the camaraderie I have with my fellow curlers.”

He also enjoys the strategy that comes part and parcel with the sport. “It’s somewhat considered like playing chess because you’re always trying to think of what the opposition’s going to do and what you have to do,” he said, before adding, “but mostly it’s the exercise and being around people you enjoy.”

CURLING

Club manager easing into retirement

Outgoing Langley Curling Club manager Nigel Easton is proud of the success of the club’s junior program. The club has a table adorned with a banner wishing Langley-based Team Tardi luck at the 2016 Canadian junior championships.

Troy LandrevilleLangley Advance

Team Tardi perfect at the junior nationals in Stratford, Ont.

Once upon a time, Tyler Tardi and draw weight were not exactly on friendly terms.

That’s not helpful, to say the least, for a skip.

But things have changed over the past few years for the Team B.C. shot-caller, who after Tuesday had helped his

team to a 6-0 record at the 2016 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, presented by Egg Farmers of Ontario.

Tardi, 17, credits his extensive mixed doubles experience – he’s a two-time B.C. champion with Dez Hawes (a member of the B.C. women’s team here) – for changing his mindset about throwing draws.

“It definitely has made me a lot better at the touch game,” said Tardi, who made the play-offs at the 2015 mixed doubles

nationals in Ottawa before being knocked out by four-time world champ Glenn Howard and his daughter Carly.

“I used to only be able to throw hits and never make a draw if my life depended on it. But I’m definitely more comfort-able with those touch shots.

“I guess I find it a bit boring to just play with no rocks in play, no angles. That’s the big-gest thing I like about curling.”

It’s paid off in the early going in Stratford as the young B.C.

team from New Westminster and Langley – which includes third Daniel Wenzek, second Jordan Tardi (Tyler’s older brother) and lead Nick Meister – has been coolly making every shot en route to a perfect open-ing weekend.

Competition continues this week at the Stratford Rotary Complex.

JUNIOR CURLING

Team Tardi on a roll at Canadian championships


‘The premier boxing event in B.C.’ continues Friday at the Coast Hotel.TROY [email protected]

Forty is quite a milestone, and when it comes to the Clash at the Cascades, it never gets old.

Amateur boxing returns to the Coast hotel ballroom on Friday with the 40th installment of the Clash at the The Cascades, which pro-moter and matchmaker Dave Allison describes as “the premier boxing event in B.C.”

The first show of 2016 will see the return of two welterweights in a very significant bout.

Josh Wright has held two Combsport BC championships, one at welterweight (147 lbs.) and one at super welterweight (154 lbs.).

Wright, from White Rock who boxes out of Ocean City

Boxing Club, has been inactive and will have his hands full when he meets Ilya Kovalenko of Vancouver’s Raincity Boxing.

Kovalenko was last seen at the Cascades at the 2014 Golden Gloves.

“Who will evolve to challenge welter-weight champion Oliver Vajda in 2016?” Allison wondered. “The Wright-Kovalenko fight

should answer this question.”The nine-bout card

is Friday at the Coast Hotel ballroom, with doors opening at 7 p.m. and bouts begin-ning at 7:30 p.m.

Parking is free. General admission is

$30 and $40 for ring-side, while kids 12 and under get in free.

There is also a bar ser-vice available. > More: langleyadvance.com,

Ice Hawks soarThe Langley peewe C6 Ice

Hawks skated to gold at the Sunshine Coast Winter Classic this past weekend in Sechelt.

A perfect start to the tourney put the Ice Hawks first in their eight-team pool, and they faced

Cloverdale C6, who topped their eight team pool, in the finals on Sunday afternoon.

Trailing 3-2 midway through the game, the Ice Hawks found their stride and led by game MVP David Hendricks, scored the tying and winning goals in an 18-second span late in the second period.

The Eagles kept the pressure on into the third period and sealed the tourney title with a 6-3 victory.

Coaches Michael Hendricks and Mike Newby said they were very proud of the team effort all weekend.

“We loved how every line contributed to the big win in the finals,” added coach Hendricks, who thanked Sunshine Coast Minor Hockey for “hosting a great tournament.”

’Men at workThe Langley Rivermen

have their work cut out for them this weekend.

Langley’s junior A hockey team plays three games in as many days, starting Friday at Merritt’s Nicola Arena where they will take on the Merritt Centennials.

The Rivermen then head home to the Langley

Events Centre for back-to-back contests, fewer than 24 hours apart.

The ’Men will host Washington State’s expansion squad, the Wenatchee Wild, Saturday at 6 p.m. and the Surrey Eagles Sunday afternoon, with a 3 p.m. start time.

Heading into the weekend, the Rivermen have collected points in each of their past five con-tests, with three wins and two overtime losses during that span.

Last weekend the Rivermen traveled to Prince George and swept the Spruce Kings, winning 5-4 in double OT on Jan. 21 and 5-2 last Friday, Jan. 22, before losing 6-5 in overtime to the Coquitlam Express on Sunday.

At press time Wednesday, the Rivermen were 25-17-2-1 and sat tied with the Wild for second in the B.C. Hockey League’s Mainland Division with 53 points, seven points back of the frontrunning Chilliwack Chiefs.

Stealth stompedThe Vancouver Stealth hon-

oured the Vancouver Ravens Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre.

The Colorado Mammoth did their part to salute a particular pair of Ravens.

Mammoth coaches Chris Gill and Dan Stroup were among the former Ravens players and staff on hand for a reunion of B.C.’s first National Lacrosse League club, a squad that wrapped up three cashstrapped seasons in

2004.Gill and

Stroup, for-mer Ravens snipers who share Colorado coaching dut-

ies with Pat Coyle, could afford time to reminisce, since the Mammoth held a comfy 12-3 lead at halftime. Colorado coast-ed in the rest of the way, wind-ing up with a 14-5 win before an announced crowd of 3,626.

The Mammoth (4-0) are the National Lacrosse League’s only remaining undefeated team.

The Stealth (1-2) were blown out for a second straight time at home.

The Stealth visit the Calgary Roughnecks (1-2) on Saturday and then are home to Colorado again on Feb. 6.

GOETZKE Marianne Elisabeth (Götzke)

Marianne Goetzke died peacefully at Zion Park Manor, Cloverdale, January 19, 2016. She will be missed by the family sheloved, by her friends, and remembered at Bethel Mennonite Church, where she was an active member for nearly 60 years.

Her family includes 5 children, 10 grandchildren and 10 greatgrandchildren: Reimar Goetzke & Beverly Short (Lyris Short- Goetzke & Eric Stutzman-Calum, Myelle; Seth Goetzke), Ute Goetzke (Jen & Mark Goerzen-Gabriel, Gus, Piper; Rena & Matt Siddall), Bodo and Sharon Goetzke (Larissa & Jeff Neale-Oliver; Vanessa Goetzke; Natasha & Tyrell Mara-Olia), Lissa and Bill Decker (Brad Decker; Jonathan Decker; Ashley & Jayeson Wall-Madeline, Lincoln, Beckett), Helga Goetzke.

Marianne was born May 2, 1923 in Neuhof, East Prussia and baptized in the Adlig- Pokraken Mennoniten Gemeinde. She enjoyed school, especially mathematics. She and Otto Ernst Goetzke married in 1950 and with their first two children emigrated to Canada in 1952. The wildlife around Westwold made the walk to school precarious for the children so Otto left his mill job for a little farm in Aldergrove, 1954. In 1961 they moved onto a larger farm where they raised strawberries and laying hens. Marianne worked on the farm while Otto often did seasonal work at a tannery or fish cannery.

Marianne showed her deep faith through action rather than word, ministering to her church together with Otto from 1980 to 1989 as a deacon. Her generosity continued with many gifts from her big garden, from her kitchen, and treats of Christmas and birthday chocolates. People tell of her bursting into a beaming smile that lit up her face. One couldn’t guess what would make her laugh, but her laughter would make people grin. The celebration of Marianne’s life will be held at Bethel Mennonite Church, 24687-56 Ave., Langley, 11:00 am, February 01, 2016. In lieu of flowers, her family requests donations to MCC BC.

“Goodness and love unfailing will follow me all the days of my life.” Ps. 23:6

An Aldergrove man is raising awareness of eating disorders.ASHLEY [email protected]

Tyson Busby suffered from bulimia for seven years.

He was finally able to get himself into a treatment facility for eating disorders.

The Aldergrove resident will be one of the four panel mem-bers speaking on his battle with eating disorders Jan. 30, in an effort to raise awareness on the stigma of eating disor-ders and size-shaming.

Busby endured several trau-matic events in childhood.

When he was five, Busby said, he watched a friend in the school yard die, after the hood of her coat got caught on a slide on the playground.

When he was seven, he was molested by a male babysitter several times.

Busby was raised by his mother and step-father, and did not have much contact with his biological father.

In high school, Busby also dealt with personal body image issues.

“I’d make the joke first so I didn’t have someone make the joke about me,” he explained.

At 18 years old, Busby ended his relationship with his father.

“That’s when my eating disorder started,” he said. “I didn’t know what I was doing, it just made me feel good men-tally.”

Busby turned to drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism for his depression and bulimia, and became involved in the drug trade.

“To cope with my depression and eating disorder I did a lot of drinking, which I see a lot when I meet some people with eating disorders,” he said.

After meeting his girlfriend – now his common-law wife – Busby discontinued his criminal activity. His purging became a silent suffering, and the trauma from his childhood began to take its toll.

“I was very good at hiding my eating disorder… It was

just an everyday thing,” he said.

Busby recalled purging “40 or 50 times per day.”

During this time, at the age of 24, Busby made several attempts to find help for his eating disorder.

“It was very hard for me to find help, because there wasn’t a lot about men and eating disorders,” he said. “This was when I lost all hope, and that was my bottom line.”

Busby attempted suicide twice within two days.

Shortly after Busby was admitted into the Looking Glass residential care program on Galiano Island.

“If I was 25, I wouldn’t have gotten in, and I don’t think I’d be here today,” he admitted.

It’s estimated that between 500,000 to one million Canadians suffer from an eat-ing disorder, according to the Looking Glass Foundation.

The Jan. 30 panel discus-sion, titled Interrupting the Stigma: Putting an End to Size-Shaming, is part of the Provincial Eating Disorders Awareness campaign for Eating Disorder Awareness Week (Feb. 1 to 7). The panel is noon to 1 p.m., in the Main Lecture Theatre at UBC Robson Square.

Admission is free, but space is limited. People can get tickets at pedawpanel.event-brite.ca.
