Cloverdale murder suspect has long history in Langley

Pets, people rally for six stolen dogs

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

A man wanted in relation to a re-cent murder in Cloverdale has quite a past in Langley and was the cause of massive manhunt, including the shutdown of 200 Street, in 2005. At that time, he was suspected of shoot-ing a 35-year-old Langley man.

RCMP released Barry McQuarrie’s picture to the media as well as a pho-to of the vehicle he was believed to be driving after the murder on Monday night (May 12). The vehicle was found on fi re Tuesday night, just before mid-night, near 192 Street and 28 Avenue.

But, McQuarrie has yet to be arrest-ed.

Police are asking the public to be on the lookout for McQuarrie, who is currently wanted on a series of unre-lated warrants.

He has not been charged in relation to the Cloverdale homicide.

Police now believe he may be driv-ing a silver 2008 Toyota Highlander, B.C. licence plate 338 JNP.

On Monday, just before midnight, RCMP responded to a report of a man being shot at a home near 176 Street and 57 Avenue.

Gregory Quenelle, 32, originally from Southern Ontario, was found injured in the townhome and was taken to hospital where he died from

his injuries.The

investiga-tion is in the early stages, but police say it was not a random act and has no connection with gang or orga-nized crime activity.

Police now believe the shoot-ing was

the result of an ongoing domestic dispute.

The occupants of the home are known to police, but investigators are just now trying to determine if that is pertinent to their investigation.


On Thursday evening, Brookswood off-leash dog park was full of four-legged friends and dozens of people.

They were there to support the owners of the six dogs who were mysteriously taken from the off-

leash park last Tuesday. The park is located at 206 Street and 44 Avenue.

As of Friday, there was no trace of the six larger dogs that were taken May 13 from the back of a dogwalk-er’s pickup truck, while it was parked at the popular park. Isaac Van Dyk, 4, was enjoying his swimming lesson at the Al Anderson Memorial Pool last week. The City

of Langley’s outdoor pool opened for the season on May 9. A full pool schedule is available on the City’s website. Go to city.langley.bc.ca and click on the aquatics link under recreation and community.

Renovated Willoughby community hall re-opens4950,000 MOVE HAS HALL READY TO SERVE COMMUNITY

Willoughby Hall is shown in March 2013, before it was moved sideways about 30 feet onto a new foundation. The newly-renovated hall has its offi cial opening on Saturday afternoon.

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

It cost about $950,000 to move the Willoughby Hall about 10 metres to the left and one metre up, close to double the original estimated $500,000 cost of preserving and upgrading the heritage hall at 208 Street and 83 Avenue.

Now, it’s ready to re-open.Speaking for the community group

that operates the hall, former Lang-ley Township mayor Kurt Alberts told the Monday, May 12 meeting of council the higher cost was due to unexpected expenses that arose during the move and rebuild.

It required six hydraulic jacks to raise the building and slide it north to its new location on heavy-duty metal rails.

Then a new concrete foundation had to be built underneath the building while it rested on tempo-rary wooden supports.

Once the concrete dried, the hall was lowered onto a new full base-ment with a nine-foot ceiling, rais-ing the hall about three feet.

It was a near-perfect fi t, no more than a quarter-inch off, Alberts said.

The project got an emphatic thumbs-up from council, with May-or Jack Froese calling it “amazing”

and Councillor Charlie Fox saying “the outcome is certainly worth it.”

The top-to-bottom overhaul of the 1930s-era wood frame structure included all-new electrical wiring, plumbing, windows and doors.

The kitchen was an add-on to the original building. It had to be demol-ished and rebuilt.

The foundation turned out to be three cedar logs that were in re-markably good shape and have been preserved for some as-yet-deter-mined purpose.

The cost of the move and some of the renovation work was paid for by the company building a nearby residential project, which need-ed to relocate the hall to make the best use of land in the area for the multi-family housing project.

Other funding was supplied by the Baker Memorial Fund in memory of Shirley and Roy Baker, and by the Township.

The hall, at 83 Avenue and 208 Street, will hold its offi cial opening to the public on Saturday, May 24 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The hall is an offi cial Langley Township heritage building and is one of a small number of buildings from that era in Willoughby to be preserved.

A 24-hour tree cutting tip line is now in service for residents of the heavily-wooded Brookswood/Fern-ridge area of Langley Township.

Callers to 604-532-7520 will get a recorded message promising their complaint will be investigated.

“Hello, you have reached the tree protection hotline where you may report a tree-cutting incident in the Brookswood/Fernridge area,” the voice message says.

It asks callers to leave the ad-dress where the cutting is taking place with their name and phone number and time of the call.

“Your call will be assigned to an offi cer for investigation,” the mes-sage goes on to promise.

The all-hours phone line in the Township bylaw enforcement department was approved in re-sponse to a number of incidents of alleged clear-cutting in the days

following a council vote that set a limit of eight trees or 20 per cent per property, whichever is less.

The fi rst two alleged violations of the new clear-cutting ban were reported in the area of 27 Avenue near 200 Street less than two days after the bylaw was passed by council.

The interim tree protection by-law was approved by a narrow 5-4 vote in April in response to com-plaints that some property owners were tearing out trees because they thought the Township was getting ready to allow denser multi-family housing.

The proposed community plan overhaul that would have allowed the denser housing was ultimate-ly rejected by council, but the cutting has continued, some res-idents say.

Township council has also ad-opted an enforcement policy that uses court orders to stop illicit tree

cutting and sets out a fi ne of up to $500 per tree to a maximum of $10,000 for violations of the inter-im tree-cutting bylaw.

At the same time, council voted to fund enforcement of the bylaw with money from the Township contingency fund.

Details of in-camera council votes are usually not made public, but it’s thought the enforcement policy passed by the same narrow margin that approved the bylaw in the fi rst place.

The bylaw only covers the area of the Brookswood/Fernridge Com-munity Plan and doesn’t have any power over protected farmland in the provincially-regulated Agricul-tural Land Reserve.

Trees may be removed with-out violating the bylaw if they are blocking road sight lines, or to dig a septic fi eld or water well, or to make room for construction of a building if the builder has a proper

development permit, development variance permit or building permit issued by the Township.

The bylaw also allows trees to be come down if they are consid-ered hazardous, as certifi ed by an arborist, or in case of an emergen-cy without an arborist so long as certifi cation is provided within 30 days of the cutting.

The interim tree protection by-law will remain in effect until a new offi cial community plan has been prepared for Brookswood/Fernridge or a permanent tree pro-tection bylaw is passed.

While some residents of the area have supported a tree pro-tection bylaw, saying the trees must be protected to preserve the unique character of the Brook-swood/Fernridge area, others do not, complaining that the ban on clear-cutting violates private prop-erty rights and will set neighbour against neighbour.

All of the dogs and the dog-walker are from the Tsawwas-sen/Ladner area.

Local celebrity Sarah Daniels, host of HGTV’s Urban Subur-ban, is offering $5,000 cash for tips leading to the safe return of six dogs stolen.

“I know that dogs and even cats are a part of our family. Would you wanna help?” she writes on her Facebook page. “Let’s get this done.”

It’s a highly unusual case, where there has been no trace of the dogs since they were sus-pected of being taken from the back of the dogwalker’s closed canopy.

“Some tips have come in and will be followed up on,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks on Thursday. “It is strange that such big dogs wouldn’t be no-ticed by now.”

How all the dogs were con-vinced to be removed from the back of the truck in such a short time frame, without being scared or even aggressive with strangers, is part of the puzzle in this case.

So far there haven’t been any witnesses to the crime, said po-lice.

But someone knows some-thing and the hope is they will do the right thing and call po-lice and/or return the dogs, even to the local Patti Dale an-imal shelter.

Sadly, scammers are contact-ing the dog owners pretending to have the dogs and willing to return them for a fee.

The dog walker involved, Emma Paulsen, is also a victim

in this. Her dog Salty, the border collie, was one of the dogs tak-en from the back of her truck.

Some speculate it is an ex-tremist dog rescue group who didn’t like that the dogs were inside her canopy on a hot day.

Police say they would follow up on that if there was a suffi cient tip leading t o w a r d s one of those groups.

LAPS ani-mal shelter m a n a g e r Sean Baker said this is one of the oddest situations he has heard of in his career.

“The logistics of six big dogs going missing is challenging to understand, no matter which angle you look at it,” said Baker.

If the dogs escaped, LAPS would have been called, he said.

“We didn’t get one call about dogs running wild that day,” said Baker.

If the dogs were stolen, “how do you handle six big dogs in such a short time,” asks Bak-er. Not all the dogs would have gone willingly, he speculates.

LAPS staff are on alert about the dogs.

Baker’s hearts go out to the owners.

“These dogs wouldn’t have been stolen to be resold. While they hold a lot of value to their owners, they aren’t puppies so there isn’t a lot of money to be made here.

“It’s just such a strange situa-tion,” he said.

After a fun day of running around off-leash at the park, Paulsen put the dogs back in her truck, closed the latch on

the cano-py and left them there so she could use the washroom, said police.

When she r e t u r n e d around 10 minutes lat-er, the cano-py had been u n l a t ch e d and all six dogs were

gone. This took place around 1:30 p.m.

She searched the area for hours but wasn’t able to locate any of them, said Marks. Police attended as well and weren’t able to fi nd any trace of the dogs.

“The owners believe their dogs were taken as opposed to having escaped from the truck. The canopy had been latched and when the sitter re-turned, the canopy was open,” said Marks.

If you know where these dogs are and want the reward, mes-sage Daniels on her open Face-book page or call police.

Photos of all the dogs are posted on The Times’ website.

There are also ways to contact the owners through petsearch-ers.ca and craigslist.

If you wish to remain anon-ymous call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

McQuarrie has a long and var-ied history with the court sys-tem, including charges of vio-lent offences, drug possessions, theft and break and enter.

The court website shows he has eight known aliases, includ-ing Nicholas Randell McQuarrie, Richard Laary, Barry Bayer, Bad Ass Barry, and just Badass.

The latest homicide was Sur-rey’s third murder of the year, while two more deaths are still classifi ed as suspicious and continue to be investigated.

The Integrated Homicide In-vestigation Team (IHIT) has tak-en over the investigation into the Cloverdale homicide.

In July 2005, police tried to capture the man for more than two weeks, following a shooting in the 20200 block of 66 Ave-nue on June 18, 2005 that left a 35-year-old Langley man shot. He recovered.

He was captured after two weeks, following a break and enter at a house, a short car chase and foot pursuit. Police dogs aided in his arrest.

McQuarrie, 24 at that time, was wanted as a person of inter-est. At the time, police warned

the public that McQuarrie was a drug user whose recent be-haviour has become increasing-ly irrational and violent.

On June 23, 2005, police stopped traffi c on 200 Street and locked down Nicomekl El-ementary School after receiving a tip that McQuarrie was inside a nearby house. The tip turned out to be wrong. The operation involved dozen of undercov-er offi cers and emergency re-sponse teams.

McQuarrie, of Langley, cur-rently has several outstanding warrants for crimes such as

assault with a weapon and pos-session of a weapon.

Anyone who sees the McQuar-rie is urged not to approach, as police consider him armed and dangerous. Instead, call 911 im-mediately.

IHIT is asking anyone who has information call the IHIT Tipline at 1-877-551-4448 or by email at [email protected] remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or leave a tip at Solve-crime.ca.

Questionwe asked you:Last Week

Langley School District appears to be caught in the vise-like grip of reduced provincial spending on new schools.

It isn’t the fi rst time. There were no new schools built in Langley’s fast-growing Wil-

loughby neighbourhood for a decade, even though the province was doing well fi nancially much of that time. Only after enormous enrolment pressures and a push from local MLAs did the ministry of education fi nally re-lease funds for the second school to be built in Willough-by, Lynn Fripps Elementary. It opened in September, 2012.

Since that fi rst release of some capital funds for a new school, the province has provided money for two more new schools in the area — a middle school and another elementary school. All are badly-needed.

However, the school district’s latest list of capital fund-ing requests has recently been turned down by the prov-ince. It is almost certain that this is due to a tightening of funds for capital projects across the province, and in all ministries. The Christy Clark government says it is bal-ancing its budget, and the only way it can do so is to boost taxes (which it does largely through secondary agencies like BC Hydro, ICBC and the Medical Services Plan) and by cutting discretionary spending.

It’s an old political trick. Hit taxpayers with fees that aren’t called taxes, and follow the example of longtime premier W.A.C. Bennett. Revered today by people of all political stripes, he regularly turned off the spending tap to balance his budgets. School districts squawked, and in many of them, students went on shift because of a lack of classrooms, but the books were balanced.

While Willoughby parents aren’t happy that there are no funds available for another high school and additional el-ementary schools, they do have a few positives to consid-er. There are now four elementary schools in Willoughby, with a fi fth one nearby. There will be a middle school in place in September, and it will ease some of the enrolment pressure at Mountain Secondary.

There is also much better liaison between Langley Town-ship council and the Board of Education. This allows both bodies to better understand what is in the pipeline for de-velopment and population growth in the fastest-growing area of Langley, and one of the fastest-growing areas of the Lower Mainland.

The issue needs to remain top-of-mind.

Our deepest, most heartfelt condolences go out to the families and many friends of the four vibrant young people who went for a ca-noe trip Saturday, May 10 on Slocan Lake, not to return.

Words cannot accurately express the sympathy felt on behalf of those youngsters who had so many exciting and rewarding years ahead of them.

Most of us have someone in our lives who means the world to us. To consider the sudden loss of someone so dear and special is unthinkable.

For the young woman and three young men involved in the recent Slocan Lake tragedy it was a case of circum-stances going awry, and a second chance not being avail-able. For all of its beauty, nature, all too often, is unforgiv-ing.

This is not a time to consider what may have been, or may not have been done in a certain way. This is simply an occasion for lovingly remembering and celebrating these precious lost loved ones and to start marking the painful passage of time on the way to whatever level of healing is attainable.

This is a major shock to the small and tight-knit Slo-can Valley community, and feelings of overwhelming be-wilderment will understandably be present among many. But the unstoppable passage of time and the support and solidarity from the people in the local area and far beyond, will hopefully help to temper the terrible loss suffered due to the May 10 incident.

Once again, sincere sympathy in regard to this tragic incident is expressed from the Rossland News and Black Press.

Transit map shows howunderserved Langley isI had the opportunity to take the

new 555 bus between the Carvolth Exchange and the Braid SkyTrain station for the fi rst time on Friday, May 9.

It’s a great service and makes getting to Vancouver, Burnaby or New Westminster very easy. I ac-tually used it to make two round trips that day, and had a chance to see how well it is patronized. It is very popular during the morning and evening rush hours, and had a decent number of passengers at the noon hour.

However, I also gained some good in-sights from a very revealing transit map near the passenger pickup area. The map outlines all the bus and other transit routes throughout Metro Vancouver. The vast amounts of blank space on that map — places where there is no bus service at all — are confi ned mainly to three Lower Mainland municipalities — Surrey, Langley Township and Maple Ridge.

By contrast, Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Richmond (with a few excep-tions in farm areas) and North Vancouver have transit routes criss-crossing almost every part of their municipal boundaries.

Even the Tri-Cities area, which has his-torically been underserved, has bus routes serving places as remote as White Pine Beach, and throughout the newer area of Port Moody on the north side of Burrard Inlet. Of course, the Evergreen Line now under construction will give the Tri-Cities even better transit servuce.

The 555 route has helped to fi ll a bit of the gap for Langley Township residents,

but it only offers a speedier way to get to SkyTrain, something that is still available through other bus routes such as the 502 and 501.

Not far from the Carvolth ex-change, thousands of people live along the 208 Street corridor — yet there is no bus service there, not even a connecting bus to the Car-volth Exchange.

One outlying area where bus ser-vice was available in Langley Town-shop, albeit only on occasion, is

losing its service. Buses will no longer run to the area around Poppy Secondary. On occasion, the 502 to Aldergrove detoured in that direction, but TransLink is pulling the plug on that service — leaving anoth-er huge area of the Township transit map blank.

The transit map is well worth a detailed examination, as Langley Township resi-dents will be asked soon to look over (and vote on) a list of tax increases that mayors want, to boost TransLink service.

While the details have yet to be released, Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation has suggested they may include some or all of a $75 car tax, a .5 per cent in-crease in the sales tax, fi ve per cent boost in property taxes, new regional carbon tax and a $1 toll on every bridge in the region.

Bateman is getting his information on possible tax increases via questions being asked through an Angus Reid poll.

Without a solid proposal for a substantial increase in transit service, and a serious attempt to bring bus service to the blank areas of the transit map, how could anyone in Langley ever back such a plan?

Wall property decisionwrong on three countsEditor: On behalf of the Surrey/Lang-

ley/White Rock chapter of the Council of Canadians, I wish to express dismay over Langley Township council granting fi nal approval of the Wall property de-velopment proposal.

We are dismayed for three main rea-sons:

First, the Wall property is agricultural land, a resource in short supply in our region and in our province. Locally pro-duced food produces less atmospheric carbon due to reduced transportation.

Second, this proposed 13.5 acre sub-division is a major violation of the Met-ro Vancouver Regional Growth Strate-gy, previously agreed to by Township council. The growth strategy attempt-ed to create fi rm urban boundaries,

limiting urban sprawl and reducing commuter-fed pollution and atmo-spheric carbon. The “fi rm” boundary in this case was at 216 Street, one mile to the west.

Third, the Agricultural Land Commis-sion gave only conditional approval to this removal from the Agricultural Land Reserve. Downstream fl ood mitigation as a result of increased urban run-off has not yet been addressed.

We do, however, wish to commend the three councillors who voted against this wrong-headed development. Coun-cillor David Davis, Councillor Kim Rich-ter and Councillor Michelle Sparrow each deserve our thanks.

Coal dust problem has been ignored for many yearsEditor: Re: The letter (The Times, May 13)

about a health assessment of coal train dust.

I am truly amazed this issue has not been front and centre. Considering that govern-ment won’t even allow dirt, gravel, asphalt or garbage to be transported without con-taining the load, coal dust is far more of a problem. It fostered “Black Lung” in the miners of yesteryear, remember?

Wayward coal dust has been a major problem since coal trains starting running. They have been running through Langley since 1970.

The truth is government at all levels wants the problem to disappear, because they don’t know how to take on the rail companies. And so, to letter writer Steven Faraher-Amidon, the concern is noble, but action is required, as opposed to opining in a letter to the editor.

Why? Besides being unqualifi ed and in-competent, governments have put them-selves on a pedestal and no longer consid-er themselves servants to the public. By all accounts, they see themselves as untouch-able and they know best.

They are, in fact, the highest-paid wel-fare recipients in the system and com-plicate issues which are not complicated,

breaking the bank along the way. We have already seen a made-in-government solu-tion in the three rail overpasses under con-struction.

It will take me the same amount of time to access and egress any of these overpass-es as it would to just sit and idle and wait for the train to pass, in order for me to get back to one of the two routes heading west or north.

We have three automobile overpasses going from nowhere and ending up no-where. They were built at a cost of more than $40 million each. They could have built two overpasses, right at Highway 10 and on 200 Street, keeping traffi c fl owing at the same time.

I am befuddled as to who benefi tted from the three projects. I know it isn’t the mo-torist and it certainly isn’t the taxpayer. Maybe it’s the same group that gave us ice missiles on the Port Mann Bridge? Can you say road rage?

A better option is to rally the people who have the most to lose.

A number of years ago, I was personally instrumental in remedial action to contain coal dust on a rail route. The rail company had built a tunnel below Rogers Pass, some three miles inside the mountain and twice

as long. This was seen as a huge improve-ment over a former route.

The tunnel meant they didn’t have to contend with steep grades and so they could assign fewer locomotives to a train. Fuel savings were substantial, and so were savings on brakes.

The trains included open coal cars, but there were also trains with brand-new automobiles on open fl at decks. The complaints started rolling in. It seems that coal dust was amassing in the tun-nel and was fi nding its way into heating and ventilation ducts of brand-new au-tomobiles.

Imagine the look on the face of the hap-py new auto owner, when he turns his de-froster on for the fi rst time. The rail com-panies were given an ultimatum — solve the problem or route the trains back to the more expensive route.

On the letter writer’s suggestion to cre-ate a study for health impact, it has zero hope of achieving anything constructive. It opens the door for another round of bu-reaucracy, ending with some sort of olive branch in 10 years time.

We don’t need nor can we afford anoth-er useless study. The problem is already acknowledged. Yes, our health is import-

ant, but a dog and pony show will prevail. Maybe we will even get another three over-passes.

So who has the most to lose? The Mer-cedes Benz dealership is located right on Highway 10, next to the tracks. BMW is across the street, Porsche will also be there shortly, and Audi is half a block away.

The remedy? Think tarp/cover, or some sort of catalyst to make coal slurry. Rerout-ing the rail line merely shifts the problem.

As for Langley Township, shame on it for trying to distance itself from the over-pass fi asco. The overpasses being built will be insuffi cient to handle traffi c, and the Township has known that for some time.

The Times pointed this out more than two years ago. It was stated that rail traffi c was expected to increase to 40 trains daily, and that some trains were expected to be two miles long.

I’m pretty sure the Township had that in-formation years before the newspaper did.

These new overpasses are not even open, and they are already inadequate. Drum roll please. Heads roll, please.

It’s that time of year again, when the tastiest outdoor market in Langley opens for the season on Wednesday, May 21 from 2 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Kwantlen Poly-technic University courtyard.

Now into its sixth year, the Langley Community Farm-ers Market is growing in size and popularity.

“We have more farmers than ever before and plen-ty of new and exciting edi-tions,” said Benedict Canale, market manager.

The family and pet-friend-

ly market will celebrate its opening for the season with free cake at 4 p.m., live mu-sic, face painting and more on Wednesday.

More than 40 vendors have signed up this year, offering everything from fresh cut fl owers, plants and local pro-duce to organic local meat, chocolates, cheeses, breads, soups and salads.

“You truly can fi nd every-thing you need at the mar-ket,” said Canale.

This year, the market is open later, until 6:30 p.m., to help encourage people com-ing from work.

There is also three food trucks there including Lang-ley’s Seasonal 56, Hotties Pasta Bar and new is Big Red Poutine.

When liquor rules change this summer, the market is looking into whether or not it can allow the sale of wine, with two local wineries al-ready expressing interest.

The farmer’s market will be open rain or shine every Wednesday from 2-6:30 p.m. until Oct. 8. The market is still looking for musicians and volunteers. Go to lang-leycommunityfarmersmar-ket.com.

Langley Farmers’ Marketopening on Wednesday Two months after a winning $50 mil-

lion lottery ticket was sold in Langley, no one has stepped forward to claim the prize.

Lottery players should be checking their pant pockets, desk drawers and kitchen countertops to see if they hold the $50 million winning ticket, accord-ing to B.C. Lottery Corporation. The prize ticket matched all seven numbers on the March 14 Lotto Max draw.

Lotto Max winners have one year from the draw date printed on the tick-et to claim their prize. With each pass-ing day the $50 million ticket holder has been losing potential interest.

“In the absence of anyone coming forward to claim the massive prize, we continue to hear some incredible the-ories and rumours about the winner from lottery players,” says Kevin Gass, vice-president of lottery gaming. “The truth is, until the winner comes for-

ward, we don’t know their story or why they may have waited so long.”

The winning ticket holder for the March 14 draw has not come to a BCLC offi ce or validated the ticket at a lottery retailer.

“I would remind anyone who pur-chased tickets for the March 14 Lotto Max draw to check their tickets,” added Gass. “We estimate the winner would have accrued more than $150,000 in interest over the last two months had they already collected their prize.”

No top lottery prize won in B.C. has ever gone unclaimed.

The $50 million prize is just $4 mil-lion short of the largest lottery prize ever won in Canada — a $54 million Lotto 6/49 jackpot in Alberta in Octo-ber, 2005.

B.C. Lottery Corporation has not said where the winning ticket was sold in Langley.

$50 million still unclaimed

While a few dozen teachers in Coquitlam won’t be hired back because of budget woes in that city, Langley School District appears to be able to balance next year’s bud-get without any drastic mea-sures.

A special board of education meeting was held Wednesday afternoon to receive a report on budget savings and some new, unexpected costs.

Originally, the district re-leased its preliminary budget for 2014/15, with a $3.2 mil-lion defi cit looming.

“We have made some changes since then and there was an error in that initial report. Since then we have found some increased rev-enue sources,” said David

Green, district secretary-trea-surer.

The defi cit is now at $2.6 million, but with $114,000 in newfound savings. Most of the help from the amalga-mation of James Anderson Learning Centre with Apex School.

The merger of the two pro-grams which will be housed together at Apex will save the district $348,750 in admin-istration and some support staff savings.

But students and parents of both programs have been promised that support staff are a priority and they won’t see cuts.

The district does have plans for James Anderson school but that won’t be revealed until September, said Green.

The district has indicated

in its fi ve-year capital plan that it would like to put a new elementary school at that location.

Other savings found were $225,000 reduction in central supplies and $60,000 in district vision costs.

The budget savings totalled nearly $800,000 but new costs put the savings at only $114,000.

Natural gas costs increased $200,000 more over last year and the district just found that out last Friday, said Green.

The new pric-ing for electricity will cost the dis-trict an addition-al $100,000. They are also hiring two additional bus drivers for the new middle school at $64,000 more.

And two career advisory assis-tants have to be hired at $202,000.

The shortfall of $2.5 million will be covered by surplus from the

2012/13 budget, said Green. But the district must still fi nd ways to further save the fol-lowing year, because relying on surplus doesn’t work, he said.

CORRECTED REPORT, PLANNED MERGER AMONG SOLUTIONS

A woman who tried to help out her fellow man ended up getting burned for her good deed, say police.

Last Tuesday, Langley RCMP received a re-port of a stolen wallet from a woman. She had just arrived home and was unpacking her groceries when a man pulled up in an older style black truck with canopy. He asked for directions then asked for some water to cool his truck down, said police.

The woman wanted to help the man out so she went into her home to get the water. When she returned, the man, the truck and her wallet were all gone, said police.

The suspect is described as being in his late 30s or early 40s with short, black hair, no facial hair, approximately 5’8” to 5’9”, with a slim build.

“As much as we all want to help each oth-er out and just be a ‘good neighbour’, please remember to protect yourself,” said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. “Don’t leave your valuables unguarded when strang-ers are nearby. Sad, isn’t it?”

One good turn deserves... a robbery?

“These technologies improve the lives of our patients and radically transform their vision of what a dentist can do for them, their lifestyle, and their career goals.”

Some dental practices dissuade children from becoming patients, because it takes a special kind of training and personal tem-perament — not the case at 200th Street Dental, which prides itself on being a fam-ily practice.

“We are all about family and commu-nity, and are delighted when gen-erations of patients from the same family turn to us for their needs,” said Dr. Grenkow.

James A. MacLean

There have been some big changes in the law on Wills and estates in B.C. The Wills, Estate and Succession Act (WESA) came into effect on March 31, 2014. WESA overhauls many of the rules about Wills and what happens with your estate – and some could affect you.

Let’s start with this one. Remember the 1981 film “Body Heat”, starring Kathleen Turner and William Hurt? The plot turned in part on old Wills rules. One old rule is that a Will is generally revoked (can-celled) if the person who made it later marries. Many people don’t know or overlooked this old rule in B.C.

Under WESA, marriage no longer revokes a Will. So if you’ve made a Will and then married after March 31, 2014, the Will remains in effect.

You can also now make a Will at 16, instead of 19. Before, only a few “minors” could do that, such as a legally married minor or a sailor.

WESA provides for equal division of jointly held property between the estates of any couple who die within five days of each other. (Under the old rule, the estate of the survivor received every-thing.) If you and your spouse have joint-ly owned property and your Wills aren’t the same, you should consider having your Will reviewed by a lawyer.

The rules have also changed what happens if you die without a Will. For example, if all your children are also children of your spouse, your spouse will get the first $300,000 of your estate (not $65,000 as before). This drops to $150,000 if you have children from a previous relationship.

If you die without a Will, your spouse also now has the choice to buy the fam-

ily home (or treat it as part of his/her share of your estate). This choice is only open for 180 days after you die. Under the previous law, your spouse received a “life estate” in the home, meaning the right to live there till he/she dies.

WESA gives the courts powerful new tools to validate Wills that don’t follow all the technicalities, and also to treat other records or documents which aren’t ostensibly Wills as having the same effect. This is meant to help carry out the estate planning wishes of the document maker whenever his or her intent was clear. (It remains to be seen whether this will lead to more lawsuits over quasi-testamentary documents.)

The existing right of a Will-maker’s spouse or children to challenge a Will because it doesn’t adequately look after them is the same as before.

Given the dramatic changes to the rules, it’s now more important than ever to see a lawyer to review, create or modify your Will – yet almost half of B.C. adults don’t have a proper Will. A carefully drafted Will is your best chance to ensure that your assets are dealt with as you want, without exposing your loved ones to costly court visits or bitter disagreements.

This primer only touches on a few high-lights. The new law is complex and can be a bit of a mine-field. To make a Will, do some estate planning, settle an estate or dispute a Will, be sure to seek legal help.

What the new wills law means for you

Cycl ing4Diversi ty Week is right around the corner in B.C.

This year, Cycling-4Diversity takes place from May 18 to 24.

A team of cyclists will be visiting 15 cities and over 20 schools to speak with students on diversity-related mat-ters. The team of eight to 10 riders, along with fi ve support staff, will deliver a message of celebrating our cultur-al existence, but also

e n c o u r a g i n g dialogue about being inclusive.

Our primary focus as Cana-dians should always remain to build stron-ger cross-cul-tural dialogue in our neigh-b o u r h o o d s , workplaces and sports teams. This is something we haven’t done very well, and changes have to hap-

pen sooner than later.

As some-one who is on the front lines on this topic, and being a columnist for 19 years with Black Press newspapers , I am hearing more and more

that our multi-ethnic communities are not connected and isola-tion is unfortunately growing.

This is not to say there aren’t many fan-tastic people and orga-nizations, who are do-ing exceptional work, but more people need to get involved to in-clude diverse citizens into their daily lives. For example, I hardly ever see people from different nationalities, where I reside, walk-ing or speaking to each other in my day-to-day activities.

Is cultural diversity actually pulling us to-gether or further apart? Cultural diversity is a beautiful thing, and it is how our nation was built. It should not only be limited to focusing on our cultural traits, but more on establish-ing friendships.

It works better when friendships are creat-ed. Then people will look past any obvious differences or barri-ers that may exist. For example, I often ask myself, why is it to-day that we still have ethnic sports teams or leagues, here in Cana-da? It is a perfect ex-ample of how diversity is pulling us apart in our own backyard.

Sports should be the easiest way for people to meet each other, not create complete strangers. Coaches and parents need to take a closer look at what they are teaching, so this wrong can be cor-

rected. When the focus of

including and welcom-ing people doesn‘t ex-ist, then as Canadians we have to re-examine our values. Be proud of your cultural heritage, but don’t stop there.

This is one of the main reasons I start-ed Cycling4Diversity Foundation. It was to capture this imagina-tion and create a dis-cussion around this important topic.

I am amazed how well the message has been received by all levels of governments, schools and business-es. I only intended to do the ride once back in 2011, but with en-couragement, C4D continues to grow each year, attracting inter-est around the world.

Our team is look-ing forward to visiting Langley on Friday, May 23, and speaking with students at H.D. Staf-ford Middle School. A group of riders from Langley Secondary School, along with their teacher Gurp Ma-hil, and our very own Times editor Frank Bu-choltz, will be riding with the C4D team on this day to show uni-ty and support on this message of diversity.

Mahil said: “Students from LSS are looking forward to becoming positive role models for future LSS stu-dents. Our school is a very diverse one, with students from across the globe, who have multiple educational needs. This is our sec-ond year participating with Cycling4Diversity and we want to help spread this message to other schools in the district.”

Decor from the top down

When renovating a home, it’s oft en the fl ooring that gets all the attention. However, the ceiling should be equally important. Boring white is not your only option!

“Th ere are no hard rules in decorating,” says Bev Bell, creative director for the Beauti-Tone Paint and Home Products Division at Home Hardware. “Take a cue from Michelangelo. He saw ceilings as a canvas!”

Imagine being able to turn on your lights before you get home, or checking on your home security system while on vacation. Home automation not only makes everyday tasks easier, it can also make for a simpler life.

“It’s important to determine what you want, based on your end goal,” says Lee Rente, president of Encore Security and Automation. “Do you want it to automate audio? Visual? A security system? Your lights? It’s possible to do all of those things and more.”

Control4 is one of the most popular home automation systems and is able to be installed in both existing and new construction homes.

“It’s a scalable system,” says Rente. “You can start small and expand as you go. Every piece you add can be utilized as you expand the system. Everything works as one to create a larger, stronger system.”

Light switches and dimmers are particularly popular items, and can make a big diff erence. Rente notes that having the lights turn on when you enter your home at night is one of the most-requested options, and can be accomplished with any automated switch or dimmer.

“Any light switch can be swapped out for an automated one,” he says. “Th ere are also a variety of wireless controls and sensors, so your home doesn’t have to be pre-wired.”

Having a good installer when dealing with putting home automation into a renovation project is paramount.

“Your system will be as good as your installer’s vision,” says Rente. “Th at vision is important because the installer needs to have the ability to see what the project can be when dealing with a retrofi t.”

Because home automation can be controlled via wireless devices such as your iPad or smartphone, it is also important to have a

good network.“You will run into a lot more issues with

a cheap entry-level router than if you have a quality router,” says Rente. “You really have to rely on the strength of your wireless network with home automation.”

Th e integral part of a home automation system is the home controller, which Rente calls “the brain.”

“It will tell everything else what to do, how to do it and when to do it,” he says. “Everything else depends on it. You’ll also need an interface, whether it’s an app or a touchscreen.”

A remote control is also a handy addition, allowing you to use a single remote for all of your devices instead of having to keep track of multiple pieces.

Installing home automation into an existing home can be more work and will take longer than it would to install it during construction, but Rente says not to let that deter you.

“If you plan out the project and can use your existing wires and other technology, it doesn’t have to be hard,” he says.

By Kerry Vital

Th e Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is celebrating spring and summer with a variety of events for Metro Vancouver residents.

Th e fi rst will take place on May 24. Th e GVHBA’s annual Spring Home Renovation Show, in partnership with FortisBC, will be held at VanDusen Gardens this year.

“Here at the GVHBA, we know the importance of working with certifi ed professionals,” says CEO Bob de Wit. “Th ere are a lot of fl y-by-night contractors who may appear to be off ering a deal upfront, but working in a cash-only environment can leave homeowners exposed when things go wrong. Working with RenoMark-certifi ed renovators ensures your investment is protected.”

Th e Ask a Pro consultation is back at the event, and will off er homeowners the chance to sign up and meet with a RenoMark renovator to discuss their project. Visitors to the show can also take part in free 20-minute seminars that will take place throughout the day, including Kitchen Design Trends, Designing for Small Spaces, Heritage Renovations and many more.

“Advanced planning and working with experienced professionals will be your best protection,” says de Wit. “Considering you are renovating one of your greatest investments, your home, it makes sense to only work with the pros.”

Entry to the show is free, but pre-registration at www.gvhba.org or via phone at 778-565-4288 is required. You’re also asked to bring a non-perishable item for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society.

Th e GVHBA will hold its 21st annual Parade of Renovated Homes on June 8

between 10 a.m and 4 p.m. Th e public is invited to tour professionally renovated homes in Metro Vancouver, including whole-house transformations, interior upgrades and kitchen makeovers. Th e event is produced by the GVHBA Renovation Council and sponsored by FortisBC.

“Professional RenoMark renovators, many of them award-winners, will be on-site to off er expert advice and discuss their craft smanship,” says de Wit. “Project values range widely, off ering homeowners an abundance of ideas they can incorporate into their own renovations.”

Project descriptions and before-and-aft er photos are available on the GVHBA website. Th e projects are located all over the Lower Mainland.

Admission is by passport, which can be purchased at each home for $10 each, with children 17 and under admitted for free. Purchasing a passport will give you access to all of the homes on the tour.

Part of the proceeds will help fund the purchases of tools, building materials and safety gear for a carpentry training program at Guildford Park and Frank Hurt secondary schools in Surrey.

For more information about these and other upcoming GVHBA events, visit www.gvhba.org.

white is a classic and still the most popular, adding a splash of colour to the ceiling might be just what your room needs. But how do you choose which colour?

“Th ere are a couple of simple colour premises, that when fol-lowed, help to create a harmonious look in a room,” says Bell. “Cool and light colours recede, warm and darker colours advance.”

When used on a ceiling, a light colour will make the ceiling ap-pear higher, while a dark colour will make it look lower. Another way to make a ceiling look high-er or lower is to paint the ceiling colour about six inches down the wall.

Something else to keep in mind when choosing a colour for your ceiling is that the lighting will be very diff erent. Th e same colour on a wall and a ceiling will look diff er-ent as the walls are hit with more light.

“Th e trick to ending up with a ceiling colour true to what you want is to make sure to hold the colour sample over your head,” Bell says. “Th at way the light will hit it the same way it will once the colour is painted on the ceiling.”

Something that you should keep in mind however is that a ceiling is rarely perfect, and thus Bell recommends choosing a fl at paint in order to hide some of the imperfections.

If you’re looking for something a bit diff erent, try putting wallpa-per on the ceiling.

“People are learning that wall-paper doesn’t have to be just for walls,” says Anita Modha, owner and CEO at ROLLOUT Custom

Wallpaper. “Part of the allure of putting wallpaper on the ceiling is the texture and design.”

Modha notes that bright and bold colours are the most popu-lar for ceilings, but it depends on the room it’s being installed in. For example, a living room might be a better place to do something bold and graphic, while a quieter pattern would be more suited to a bedroom.

“You want to make sure it’s something that you don’t mind looking at every morning,” says Modha. “You don’t want to be startled when you wake up!”

One advantage of putting wall-paper on a ceiling is that it’s not a permanent change.

“It can be a really great way to change a space quite quickly,” Modha says.

However, she also recommends making sure that the work is done by a professional installer, espe-

cially when it comes to the ceiling. A very high ceiling would need to involve scaff olding, which is not something that most homeown-ers will want to deal with on their own.

Tin ceilings are another trend that is coming back. Originally popular in the Victorian era as an inexpensive alternative to plaster, peel-and-stick tin ceiling tiles are now available in a range of intri-cate designs that still mirror their humble origins.

Wood planks installed on the ceiling might seem like you’re turning the room upside-down, but they’re also great for adding texture to a space. Beadboard can give you a similar look.

“It takes just a few dollars to transform a room from lovely to ‘wow,’” Bell says. “Don’t overlook those ceilings because they really do add a lot to the whole look of your home.”

The Pickleball courts at Walnut Grove Community Centre will be a busy place during the Langley 2014 Senior Games to be held in Lang-ley City and Township this fall from September 9-13.

Pickleball is a relatively new rac-quet sport which combines ele-ments of badminton, tennis, table tennis, and ping-pong. The sport is played on a court with the same di-mensions as a badminton court. The net is lower than most other racquet sports allowing for faster play. The game is played with a hard paddle and a wiffl e ball, making the tech-nique required for pickleball differ-ent than other racquet or net sports.

The story goes that the history of pickleball began with the familiar summer whine that often causes parents to take drastic measures. In the summer of 1965, the “I’m bored” mantra was chanted by the children of two families on Bainbridge Island in the Puget Sound area of Washing-ton. Two desperate dads, Bill Bell and Joel Pritchard, who just happened to be a US Congressman invented a game.

The game started on an asphalt badminton court in Pritchard’s back-yard. But, alas, no one could fi nd the shuttlecock. The dads quickly improvised with a Wiffl e-type ball. The kids found it diffi cult to hit the 3-inch ball with the lightweight rackets. Once again, necessity was

the mother of invention. The dads made wooden rackets that resem-bled ping-pong paddles. As the game evolved through the afternoon it was determined that players could hit the ball on the bounce as well as out of the air.

One afternoon of fun was had by all. But what about tomorrow? Bell and Pritchard huddled to form a strate-gy to keep the kids interested in the game. They lowered the net from fi ve feet (badminton height) to three feet (tennis height). Now, they just had to solve the dog problem. Their dog Pickles kept stealing the ball. From

there the sport has taken off to be-come one of the fastest growing rac-quet sports in North America.

Ross Priebe is the Sport Chair for Pickleball for the Langley 2014 Se-nior Games. “I have been attending the Senior Games with Pickleball since 2011,” Ross explains. “In 2009 there were 42 players registered for the sport, in 2011 at Trail there were 76, last year in Kamloops there were 147 and this year we are anticipating there will be 200 registered for the Langley Games.”

“We are starting to see the sport ex-tend to younger age groups as well.

Recently there has been the forma-tion of the Fraser Valley Pickleball Association that accommodates all age groups and levels and cities like Surrey have many locations where people can play every day.”

In some Snowbird locations in the United States, Pickleball courts are very prevalent and people can play every day. “There is one spot that has 24 courts and there are always peo-ple waiting to play.” says Ross.

Pickleball attracts many former tennis or racquetball players who no longer have the stamina or mobility to play on the larger courts.

“In Pickleball the ball does not come to you as in tennis. You have to go to the ball and you can really work up a sweat during a game. It is great exer-cise but not all Pickleball players are former athletes and the sport is eas-ily learned. We may have a few very competitive and aggressive players but for the most part, everyone dis-plays positive sportsmanship.”

“Last year was the fi rst year the Se-nior’s Games changed to categories based on skill levels rather than age. There were some 70 and 80 year old players that were very good at the sport and dominated their age class-es so a ranking system based on skill level was developed.”

The rankings go from a Beginner Skill Level of 2.0 which includes as-sessment of such observations as:

Your parents helped you cross the street…

Now they need you to help them make the right decision.

Your parents helped you make the decisions that shaped

your life. Now they need you to help them. More than ever,

we are balancing a variety of responsibilities including caring

for our aging parents. When we can’t be there or distance

separates us, we may begin worrying about them managing

on their own.

If conversations have begun to explore the topic of what’s

next, you’re probably wondering where to begin. The most

important thing is to find the option that best suits your

parent’s needs. At Chartwell, our professionally trained staff

can help you navigate the decision-making process and help

you decide on the best option.

Chartwell offers residents a secure and rewarding lifestyle that they can be happy to call home.

• Players are probably not moving around the court in a safe or balanced manner yet, but are receptive to learning

• Players may not be familiar with pickleball terminology.

Up to a level 4.0 Skill Level which includes observations of:

• Skill level 4.0 is a term used to describe players who are capable of consistently executing play above a 3.5 skill level. The 4.0 player will distinguish himself from the 3.5 player by possessing increased skills and strategy or by more speed, power and consistency.

At the Senior’s Games level, if you win a gold medal one year you are automatically moved up to the next skill level. There are levels of 4.5 and 5.0 but not too many achieve that status.

The court layout and scoring differ from tennis as well as it is designed to control the movement of the play-

ers on the court and ensure that serving is carried out in the right order. “The scoring and court move-ments are the biggest challenge for the beginner,” Ross smiles. “They have to stay out of the ‘kitchen’ and try to avoid ‘poaching’ while learn-ing when to ‘dink’, ‘lob’ or ‘smash.’ “

The sport is not ex-pensive. A paddle is between $70.00 and $80.00 dollars and that is the only cost unless you want to buy expensive court shoes or gloves. Many centres have paddles available for those wanting to try the sport for the fi rst time.

There are tourna-ments across the Province and Canada throughout the year where players can

hone their skills. Most of these are Pickleball Canada sanctioned events and they attract players of all skill levels.

Ross has some great memories from his past Senior’s Games. “It is so inspiring to see all the competi-tors in this multi-sport event. It has always been a positive experience

This is a growing sport in our

community and we hope that a legacy from the Seniors Games will be

some additional indoor or outdoor

new players.

Silver Secrets: Focus on FashionWhen you’re on a fi xed

income it’s important to make every dollar count. But when it comes to fash-ion and looking one’s best it’s tempting to ignore the budget and end up paying too much. You don’t have to pay through the nose to look great. Read on for some silver secrets for where to shop for fashions that won’t break the bank.

Downtown Langley has at least four places to buy clothing at discounted prices. In addition some stores offer deals espe-cially for seniors. Fields, located in the Highland Village Mall is one of them. The fi rst Monday of each month, for people 55+ they offer 10% off their al-ready low everyday prices. There’s a fi ne selection of clothing and shoes in the store.

Located nearby is the V.V. Boutique, aka Value Village. You’ll fi nd gently used items at prices that are already the best deal in

town and for people 60+, every Tuesday, they offer an additional 30% off every item in the store. At 58 it makes me want to go out and get a fake ID so I can take advantage of these super duper sales.

However, if gently used isn’t your style and you want to buy new, your shopping destination needs to be Auld Phillips. This store has been a fi x-ture on the one way sec-tion of Fraser Highway for years and has recently be-come a fashion clearance outlet. There are items from designers such as Tanjay® and Alia® for up to 25% off. For even bigger dis-counts, walk all the way to the back of the store. There you’ll fi nd some deep, deep discounts on designer fashions and some items are up to 70% off. For years moms have been introduc-ing their daughters to this silver secret.

Another spot that’s sometimes forgotten and often holds hidden trea-sure is the Salvation Ar-

my’s thrift stores. The large one located at 19868 Langley Bypass has lots of tenderly used items that are real bargains. Many items are in near new con-dition and the selection of accessories is second to none. As well visit the Sal-vation Army’s thrift store in Aldergrove. By shopping there you can do a good deed and pick up a bar-gain at the same time. All proceeds from this store go to The Salvation Army’s Gateway of Hope.

To satisfy your inner fashionista, plan a visit to Langley Hospice’s Second Story Treasures. This is a boutique store with bou-tique fashions but without the boutique price tag! The prices are great and you can’t beat the customer service. The salespeople enjoy their jobs and they love to help you fi nd just the right item for the right price. Visit them in Walnut Grove at 5-20349-88th Ave.

The Changing Room lo-cated in downtown Lang-ley is one of the best kept

silver secrets of all. Locat-ed on 56th Avenue and Salt Lane, every Tuesday is Senior’s day and the store offers a 10% discount on everything. This lovely boutique style consign-ment store offers new and consigned items in a wide range of styles and fash-ions. The store carries a full line of shoes, purses and accessories. Now open on Mondays from noon until 4.

Last but not least, this silver secret is the best one of all. The Langley Senior’s Resource Centre has a tuck shop! Open daily except Sundays from 10 until 2, there are new items arriv-ing daily. One lucky shop-per found an original Mi-chele Nicole™ top for the crazy low price of $3.00!

Langley women always look fashionable and fab-ulous. But now the se-crets out, you don’t have to spend a fortune to look like a million bucks.

We are slowly getting a better handle on fi bromyalgia. The condition involves specifi c tender points and fatigue, insomnia, headaches, and abdominal pain. Making a

clear diagnosis has traditionally been diffi cult and new guidelines were recently developed which are proving to be easier to use and more reliable. Better diagnosis leads to more effective treatment and improves quality of life.

Fibromyalgia appears to respond to exercise therapy – a Cochrane Collaboration review of all the literature points to both aerobic and resistance (strength) training as reducing the pain associated with fi bromyalgia. Aerobic exercise was statistically better at reducing pain and both types of exercise were equivalent in reducing tenderness. While this lends credence to using these exercises as treatment, the researchers are next going to study other forms, such as aquatics.

Arthritis is also a condition that benefi ts from exercise. Regular exercise helps to maintain joint function and reduces stiffness, pain and fatigue. Look

for exercises that improve fl exibility and range of motion, strength and balance. Aerobic exercise improves the cardiovascular system and lung capacity, building endurance and overall health. Avoid activities which are jarring or high impact and be sure to rest if you are suffering from a fl are-up.

Arthritis doesn’t have to put an end to your activities and interests. Stiffness increases with inactivity (that’s why you’re so stiff after a night’s sleep), so get up and move about regularly. Use parts of your body that are unaffected to help out wherever possible (such as using a shoulder to push open a door) and organize your environment to keep things accessible. Using adaptive devices and gadgets can be very helpful too!

Our pharmacists can provide numerous tips and suggestions to help you cope with arthritis, fi bromyalgia and many other conditions. Don’t be afraid to ask!


BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

An artist and an author, both from Fort Langley, had a brush with Canada-wide ac-claim this spring, when they found them-selves on the short list for a national book award.

The Boy Who Paints, by author Jane Watt and painter Richard Cole was considered by some pretty uncompromising judges for the top prize in the Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children’s Book Award competi-tion— a jury made up of a group of eight- and nine-year-old readers.

Watt and Cole were nominated for the award — which offers a $6,000 prize — to recognize artistic excellence in writing and illustration in English-language Canadian children’s literature for their collaborative effort.

The imaginative hardcover volume was one of fi ve books nominated — it went up against two entries from Ontario and two from Quebec. The winning book, which is selected by a jury of Ontario school chil-dren in Grades 3 and 4, is scheduled to be formally announced today (May 20).

Shortly before The Times went to press, however, Watt and Cole learned they had not been successful in winning the prize.

Their book tells — in words and pictures — the story of a boy who, upon deciding to become an artist, begins producing lit-eral interpretations of the objects he sees around him — in short, houses.

He fi lls canvases with houses and more houses, painted in dull shades of brown and grey.

Quickly growing tired of the monotony,

the budding young artist comes to real-ize that there is, in fact, vibrant colour all around him — in everyday objects — which he can use to inspire his artwork.

Soon he is painting a bright yellow fi eld inspired by, of all things, a garbage truck, a deep green forest called to mind by a recy-cling bin and a fi ery red sky infl uenced by a stop sign.

In keeping with the boy’s artistic journey, Cole’s early images are painted in muted tones not often found in a children’s book, but quickly grow bolder as the young artist fi nds his inspiration.

Even more unusual, the main character is not painted in detail, but is instead de-picted as a cut-out fi gure, made of paper trimmed from the pages of a dictionary.

The featureless face is quite deliberate, the author explains.

“We wanted the boy to be a kind of ‘ev-ery kid’ character, someone that readers could identify with, could see themselves as,” said Watt.

“He is made of dictionary pages that re-fl ect his thinking and add a layer of vocab-ulary about art and art processes.”

The book is illustrated in a variety of me-dia — watercolour illustrations with pen and ink, collage of art papers and cutouts.

“But the backbone of the book is Rich-ard’s landscapes — which in real life are giant oil on canvas paintings,” Watts said.

Although scenery paintings have formed the bulk of Cole’s work in recent years, the opportunity to collaborate on a children’s book allowed the artist to revisit old styles and mediums.

“For the last decade, I have made my liv-

ing as a landscape painter, but I fi nd my-self returning to fi gurative work as well,” he said.

After entering the contest, the author and artist were informed that their work had been selected by a team of librarians and booksellers from across Canada, to be judged by the elementary school students.

“The jury is given the shortlist created by ‘professionals,’” Watt noted. “It makes complete sense that the fi nal selection is done by potential readers. The (young) jury takes its job very seriously.”

Although The Boy Who Paints, marks the fi rst time either Watt or Cole has worked on a book specifi cally geared toward a younger audience, the project was a nat-ural fi t.

“Richard’s oldest son and my youngest son are the same age and we began talking about our work outside the kindergarten classroom,” said Watts.

Originally the two had discussed collab-orating on a coffee-table-style art book, fo-cusing on Cole’s landscape images.

“But he revealed that what he’d always wanted to do was to write a kids’ book. We began meeting for an hour a week to write the story — and then we’d go away with homework to do for the next week.

Often, said Watt, writers submit work to publishing houses and the text is sent from there to an illustrator — the writer and illustrator never meet.

This, by contrast, was truly a team effort, she said. “We were fortunate to collabo-rate the whole way — and we were able to come up with something far beyond our individual abilities.

“We wanted the book to be a treat for kids and for parents, too.” said Watt.

“We wanted it to continue to reveal itself over time, with people seeing new things in it each time they read it. Having the confi dence to try something new is the central message of the book, but we tried to get that across in many different ways — both in terms of the layered visual qual-ity of the art and in terms of the text.

The story concludes with a brief lesson on primary and secondary colours.

“We wanted the book to be really useful to teachers — and it is. There are many extensions that can be made beyond its pages — into art and colour theory, into issues of identity and self esteem, into de-termination, and into writing instruction,” explained Watt.

The Boy Who Paints was published by Fenton Street Publishing House in Fort Langley. It can be purchased online at amazon.ca as well as at the Langley Chap-ters store and Wendel’s bookstore.

Meanwhile, authors are now being reg-istered for the Fort Langley Festival of the Book to be held on July 1, 2014 at the Fort Langley Community Hall.

The free family event where, Watts and Cole will release their second book, The Girl Who Writes will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The pair’s second story “considers what it takes to be a writer, and tackles some of the same issues of determination and pas-sion for the arts,” Watts said.

“We have workshopped it heavily with a panel of teachers so that it will be pro-foundly useful in the classroom in the same way as The Boy Who Paints.”

FORT LANGLEY PAIR’S WORK SHORT-LISTED FOR NATIONAL CHILDREN’S BOOK PRIZE


“Waxed and Polished” an exhibit including ‘all things encaustic,’ opens at the Pencil Studio in Fort Langley on Saturday, May 24.

The exhibit of work by Abbotsford artist Kath-leen Menges will include both painting and sculpture.

“My style is from representational paintings to abstract and abstract expressionism,” said Meng-es.

“I am inspired by colour, line, and texture. The process is intuitive, and gestural.

“There is a part of me that likes to express my-self in different forms, so I am happy to add some sculptures to this exhibition.”

Encaustics, is one of the oldest painting medi-ums in the world, Menges explained. In the pro-cess, beeswax is heated and pigments are added. Resin is then added to bind and to give shine and durability to the paint.

Encaustic mean ‘to burn.’ In a painting, each layer of colour is burned in and fused to the layer below it. Some paintings are comprised of more than 20 layers.

Because molten coloured beeswax is translu-cent, the artist is able to reveal what lies under-neath, deep within the painting.

“The high shine and the translucent quality of encaustics is what attracted me to it in the fi rst place,” said Menges.

“So the name Waxed and Polished suits me to a tee.”

Menges exhibit will be on display at the Pencil

Studio Art Gallery until June 15. An artists’ recep-tion will be held on Saturday, May 24, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The Pencil Studio, operated by Fort Langley art-ist Pat Barker, is located at #19-23230 Billy Brown Rd.

D.W. Poppy Redhawks’ Janice Hua made a try-saving tackle on Walnut Grove Gators’ Yana Kim during senior girls rugby at Poppy Secondary last week (May 13). The Gators won 28-10 to capture the Langley Shield as the top senior girls team in the district. Walnut Grove also moves on to the provincial rugby championships this week (May 22-24) in Port Alberni while the season is over for the Redhawks. See story on Walnut Grove at www.langleytimes.com.

GARY AHUJA Langley Times

GARY AHUJATimes Sports

For the fi rst time in school histo-ry, the D.W. Poppy Redhawks are the Fraser Valley champions.

The senior boys rugby team ac-complished the feat with a hard-fought 8-5 victory over Chilliwack’s G.W. Graham Grizzlies in the senior boys AA fi nal March 14 at Abbots-ford’s Exhibition Park.

The last time Poppy made the Fra-ser Valley fi nal was in 1992 when they lost to Aldergrove. The team rebounded that year to capture the provincial banner.

“We are proud to have our name on the Fraser Valley trophy,” said Redhawks captain Gino Paolella, a Grade 12 player on the team.

“It gives us all something to show for all of our hard work and dedica-tion over the last four years.”

“This is big boost of confi dence for the boys,” said Mike Munsie, who coaches the team with Kyle Barry.

“And it means hopefully a top fi ve seeding in the rankings (at provin-cials).”

Entering the game, the Grizzlies were ranked fi fth among AA schools while Poppy was seventh.

During the regular season, Gra-ham fi nished fi rst in league play at 6-0 while the Redhawks were sec-ond at 4-2. That included a 24-14 loss to the Grizzlies.

“The difference was we made a couple of positional moves, mov-ing Harry Senkler to fl yhalf, a more natural ball distributor, and Gino Paolella to outside centre to allow him to tuck the ball and run,” Barry said.

“(And) we made four very valu-able substitutions whose fresh legs had a big second half impact on the game.”

Barry also credited the sunny and dry weather as well as his team’s ability to shutdown the opposi-tion’s fl yhalf and inside centre, who

both had big games in the previous matchup.

The only points in the fi rst half of the Fraser Valley fi nal came off the boot of Poppy fullback Sam Sinclair, whose penalty kick went off the left post and in.

The Redhawks controlled play to start the second half but the Griz-zlies capitalized on a turnover to score a try to pull ahead 5-3.

It remained that way until about 10 minutes remained when after some great runs by Rob Goodey, Matt Theodore scored the winning points on a try.

The Grizzlies pushed for the equalizer, but massive runs by Nick Vandergoes, Brodie Muench and Paolella closed out the game.

“The key to the game was to play a tight defensive game,” Paolella said.

“We knew we could play and take advantage of our offensive play when we got the ball out to the backs.

“We knew if we executed the fun-damentals of the game, we would come out with a banner.”

“Also it was key to have a strong bench so we could roll players in at the half. They are our impact subs — they really do make a large im-pact when they come on,” he added.

“The fact that we won (the Valley title) has given us more confi dence, but I think all the guys already had the confi dence we needed for pro-vincials before that fi rst kick of the Fraser Valley fi nal,” said Paolella.

“We take pride in ourselves on how well we can work together and if we can keep this going well, I believe we can do well in the provincials.”

•••The opening round of the provin-

cial tournament begins on May 24 at an undisclosed location.

Rounds two, three and four of the championships will be held at Rota-ry Stadium and Exhibition Park in Abbotsford on May 28, 29 and 31.

Stafford Skyhawks’ True Ba Moo slips a tackle of an Earl Marriott Mariners player during his team’s 57-0 win in the Grade 8 boys tier 1 Fraser Valley quarter-fi nal game last week (May 13) at H.D.

The Skyhawks also beat the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers 39-15 in the semifi nals on May 15 to earn a spot in the Fraser Valley tier 1 championship fi nal tomorrow (Wednesday) against the Fraser Falcons at Abbotsford’s Yale Secondary.DAN FERGUSON Langley Times

The Langley Bandits faced a familiar foe in the Gibsons Crushers in the championship fi nals of a U19 ball tournament at Softball City.

The Minor C Games Tournament was held May 9 to 11 in South Surrey.

The two teams have played each other a num-ber of times over the past four years and the most recent match-up went in favour of the Crushers, 8-5.

The Bandits had gone 3-1 in the round robin portion of the tournament to fi nish fi rst in their pool, including an 8-6 win over Gibsons.

Langley’s other games were a 15-11 win over the Fleetwood Fury, a 16-7 win over the Nanaimo Breakers and a 5-4 loss to Ridge Meadows.

The Bandits then beat the Breakers 11-6 in the semifi nals.

Langley Rivermen head coach Bobby Hen-derson was a fi nalist for the Canadian Junior Hockey League coach of the year award.

Henderson had won the Joe Tennant Memo-rial Trophy last month as the top coach in the BCHL after guiding the

Rivermen to a 37-13-3-5 record, which was a league best.

The national win-ner of the award was Spruce Grove Saints’ Jason McKee of the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

The winner was an-nounced on May 14.
