The man charged in connection with a triple shooting in Princeton March 30 had lived in Langley for many years.
John Ike Koopmans, 49, who now lives in Princeton, is charged with two counts of second degree murder and one count of attempted murder after the bodies of a 44-year-old man and 32-year-old woman were found on a rural property in east Princeton.
A 48-year-old man suffering from several gun shot wounds was also rushed to hospital from the scene. He is now in stable condition.
RCMP said Koopmans was arrested the next day after a lengthy search for him. Police also said the suspect and all three victims were well known to each other. But police said the motive of the alleged killer will come out in the court proceedings.
Koopmans has a criminal past in Langley as well.
In January 2005, Koopmans was charged with assault, uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm and fear of injury/damage by another person in Langley.
He was convicted for the fear of injury and fined $500. He also had minor traffic infractions here. In February 2010, he was charged with drunk driving in Princeton.
He took the horticulture program at one time at Kwantlen Polytech-nic University at the Langley cam-pus. He also went to high school locally.
He makes his next court appear-ance April 24.

Metro Vancouver has approved a controversial composting facility at 25330 88 Ave.
The regional authority issued a solid waste licence to Glenval Organics on April 9.
The licence is limited to yard waste and wood chips and does not include smellier food waste.
Glenval Organics CEO Gary Nickel was pleased by the decision.
“It’s going to be great for the region,” Nickel said Monday.
The proposal generated a storm of criticism, with opponents dominating a public hearings.
Langley Township council unanimously voted against the Glenval Organics project in February.
Glenval was asking Township council to refer its application to the provincial Agricultural Land Commission for permission to operate the compost plant under non-farm-use regulations.
Glenval can operate the compost plant on the property under the agricultural act, but that limits it to selling half of the compost it makes while keeping the rest on the site.
Under those rules, the company projects the plant would run out of room to store the compost in five to seven years and would have to close.

“Complete carnage and bed-lam,” is how Langley’s Al Mcbeth described the scene at the Bos-ton Marathon finish line. Two explosive devices went off at the finish line on Monday, killing at least two people and injuring dozens more.
With sirens blazing in the background, Mcbeth spoke to Shelby Thom of CHNL Radio in Kamloops from his cellphone, shortly after the blasts occurred.
Along with his 22-year-old daughter Taylor McBeth, they were on the sidelines to support his wife Cathy Gutkowski who was expected, along with fellow Langley runner Paula Hillier, to come through the finish line just as the first blast went off.
“We were 1,000 feet form the finish line. It was 2:45 p.m. EST when there was a very loud explosion. The first thing I thought it was a cannon salut-ing Patriot’s Day,” said Mcbeth. “Then I saw glass, smoke and bodies flying all over the place. Taylor and I stood in the middle of the marathon lane and 30 sec-onds later the other explosion
happened on the other side of us,” he said.
“There was people lying all over the road and sidewalk. I have a very graphic image of a police officer running down the street with a three-year-old boy in his arms saying to the boy ‘hang on, hang on.’ It was complete carnage and bedlam all over the place. Police, fire, every EMS device is in full use.”
It appears seven runners from Langley participated in the Bos-ton Marathon: Jason Falkner, Angus Maclean, Mike Pali-chuk, Char Roberts and Athol Symonds, as well as Gutkowski and Hillier.
Three runners from Langley Peninsula Runners clinics who participated in the marathon have confirmed they weren’t hurt in the blasts, said Peninsula Runners Langley manager and clinics leader Kathie Schellen-berg.
“They are shaken up but are OK,” said Schellenberg, who has ran in the Boston Marathon three times.
Because of Patriot’s Day, every-one has the day off locally, leav-ing many to line the race as fans.
“The race is lined from start to
finish with people. The noise is amazing,” she said. The Boston Marathon is the most sought after, prestigious race and only
marathon that requires runners to qualify.
“Our prayers and thoughts go out to those who were hurt in
this tragedy,” wrote a Facebook post by Langley Peninsula Run-ners.
The 2013 Boston Marathon database notes 241 of the nearly 27,000 race competitors hail from B.C.
South Surrey lawyer Alan Ben-son, 60, had finished the race and was about six blocks away when the bombs went off.
“All of a sudden we heard this massive explosion. I could see this huge ball of smoke where the finish line is,” Benson told Peace Arch News from his hotel about an hour later.
“I was worried about Dee (Makepeace, who started about 20 minutes behind Benson). I knew she was coming in after me, and I was worried about my wife and daughter because they were down not far from the fin-ish line.”
As The Times went to press, there was no indication of any-one taking responsibility for the explosions.
It had been reported that cell-phone service was shut down in the afternoon because the signal can be used to trigger a bomb. However, that report was later said to be false.
The JFK Presidential Library also had afire, which may have been linked to the other explo-sions.

A man “very well known” to Langley police and court houses across B.C. has been sentenced to 18 months jail time for the vicious bat attack of a 19-year-old Langley man outside the Artful Dodger in September 2011.
Wade Corey Bryant, 33, entered a sur-prise guilty plea April 3 in Provincial Court in Surrey.
Along with jail time, he was given three
years probation after his release and a 20 year firearm ban.
He already has a lifetime firearm ban from a previous conviction of robbery in 2005 in Langley. In fact, Bryant’s record is a mile long, with convictions of utter-ing threats in 2010 and 2004, as well as convictions of robbery, possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a prohibited weapon along with dozens of breaches, including in this case as well. All these crimes took place in Langley.
On Sept. 11, 2011, around 1 a.m. the
Langley RCMP were called to the Artful Dodger Pub, said Cpl. Holly Marks at the time.
Investigation revealed that a 19-year-old victim was in a truck with two friends, getting ready to leave, when Bryant began hitting the truck with a bat.
The victim got out of the truck and was hit in the head with the bat. The man with the bat fled in another vehicle.
When police arrived, the victim was awake, but incoherent, Marks said. He was taken to hospital in critical condition.
Police arrested Bryant three days after the attack charging him with assault with a weapon, aggravated assault, and mis-chief over $5,000.
The victim and his friends didn’t know Bryant, said police. They were at the pub to shoot pool.
The victim was hit in the head with a bat which caused a brain injury. When he was rushed to hospital he was put in a drug induced coma.
The victim had to learn how to talk, eat and walk again.

The community has come together to offer what they can to help an amazing 10-year-old Langley girl who was diag-nosed last year with a life-threatening disease.
A total of $26,000 was raised and all 350 tickets sold for “A Night For Selena” fundraiser held on Saturday night at Cas-cades Casino Summit Theatre.
Selena Yorke, a Langley Meadows Grade 5 student, has been diagnosed with a rare dis-ease called Friedreich’s Ataxia, a neuromuscular disorder that affects every cell in her body including her heart. There is no cure.
Already, Selena is losing the ability to walk and uses a wheelchair part time.
“There is still a lot to do to help and numerous large expenses they will face in the future but at least it can help some,” said one of the night’s organizers Amber Medeiros, who is friends with the Yorkes.
The Yorkes are facing numer-ous expenses, including a stair-lift for their home that will cost around $11,000 and a vehicle with a wheelchair lift which can costs upwards of $60,000. They also needed to renovate the bathroom at a cost of around $30,000.
But on Saturday morning, the Yorkes were surprised with the arrival of a walk-in tub and walk-in shower donated by Canadian Safe Step Walk-In Tub Co.
Canadian production man-ager Kevin Balmer read Sele-na’s story in The Times and was so touched he asked his company to put her on top of their Safe Step Cares program.
As well, Langley Fine Arts School will donate all the pro-ceeds from its upcoming play The Importance of Being Ernest running April 18 to 26. Admis-sion is $10. Further details at langleytimes.com.
If you would like to donate to help Selena, you can still go to any TD bank and ask for A Night for Selena acct. # 9194-5241677.

One of the “greenest guys in Langley” will be running for the B.C. Green Party in the Langley riding.
Wally Martin, with his wife Sharon, is the co-owner of the Princess and the Pea Bed and Breakfast in Murrayville, an historic building that he rebuilt board by board, after securing a 99-year lease from the Town-ship to restore and operate it. It was originally built in 1887 as the Travellers Hotel. He has lived in Langley since 1968.
He is also a former Environ-mentalist of the Year in Lang-ley. This is an award that was initiated by MP Mark Warawa when he was parliamentary secretary to the minister of the environment. It is awarded annually to individuals, organi-zations and young people who work for improvement of the environment.
Martin is a former federal Liberal, but has now embraced
the Green cause for the upcom-ing provincial election. He is a former realtor and builder, and in 1980 built the first Double E (Energy Efficient) house in B.C., setting a new standard for house building in the province. The B.C. Building Code subse-quently reflected his approach to EE construction, using R25 insulation and triple glaze win-dows.
He has initiated many energy efficient and organic prac-tices at his bed and breakfast, including the installation of solar panels and reduction of electrical energy use by 80 per cent. He is now an Indepen-dent Power Producer and sells energy back to BC Hydro.
Martin is also active in the campaign to stop the spread of Genetically Modified Organ-isms (GMOs), and his estab-lishment is GMO-free. He sees GMOs as having an effect on the B.C. salmon fishery, as well as agriculture.
In the past, he has actively campaigned against Tourism
Langley, which levies a tax on hotels, including his. He has stated that it does not bring any tourist business to his establishment.
He is also there volunteer booking agent for the historic Murrayville Hall, located across the street from his business.
“I really like the fact the Greens look forward seven generations,” he said about his decision to run for the BC Green Party. “I’m running to make the world a better place for our kids and grandkids. I wholly embrace the Green Party policies based on eco-nomic and environmental sus-tainability.”
As an MLA, he pledges to work toward equality for every-one across the social spectrum.
“I won’t be representing just the few,” he says. “I will work hard to support those who are unable to achieve their best successes on their own.”
The Greens have yet to name a candidate in the Fort Lang-ley-Aldergrove riding.

Having a secondary suite in the Township of Langley will now cost money, but coun-cil is trying to soften the blow by giving home owners a break for the first few years.
At the April 8 after-noon meeting, council unanimously passed a bylaw that will see existing owners of registered secondary suites have the license fee of $350 cut in half for a period of three years, unless
that property changes hands.
As long as a home owner registers his or her suite by Dec. 13, the Township will wave the 30 per cent utility and water increase until July 2, 2014. Those with fam-ily members living in suites would be exempt from utility fees, and only pay an annual fee of $175.
This phase-in of the new costs is a result of frustration expressed by regis-tered suite owners, who feel they are
being penalized for being honest, while owners of illegal suites get away scot-free.
Council has also allowed for enforce-ment officers to incur overtime to proac-tively look for illegal suites through MLS listings and possible neighbourhood can-vassing.
“It’s good [council-lor] Kim Richter got us to take a second look at this,” said Councillor Bob Long about phasing the new tax in.
Township home-owners will have to pay as much as $580 a year under the new second-ary suite bylaw if they don’t register their suite by the Decem-ber deadline.
The critics said the 1,000 homeowners who have properly registered their suites will be the first to pay, not the estimated 10,000 to 12,000 owners of illegal sec-ondary suites in the Township.
Township staff estimate the suite fee could bring in over $200,000 (after expenses) this year, rising to nearly $700,000 by 2015.

Sport-induced injuries get the most press. But car accidents are by far the most common source of concussions – which, in some cases, have life-long effects. A 2010 decision of the Supreme Court of BC dealt with such a case.
“Helen” (not her real name), 17, was a passenger in a truck that drove off the road and hit a tree. Although she was wearing her seatbelt, her forehead struck the windshield so hard that it starred the windshield. She suffered a mild concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) – terms the court said were interchangeable. She also suffered neck and back injuries and soft tissue injuries.
The case was prudently brought to trial seven years after the accident, at which time Helen was still suffering from after-effects. This allowed the court to evaluate the longer term consequences that can follow from such brain injuries.
Before the mishap, Helen was a delight to her family and friends. She had a fun-loving, outgoing personality, did reasonably well in school and put most of her energy into her first love, sports. The supervisor at her first part-time job (when she was 15) described her as “fun loving, chatty, crazy, a joy to have around.” Her plan was to become a police officer, and she likely would have been able to achieve that career goal or succeed at an alternative career.
After the accident, and well after the immediate effects of the impact had passed, a different picture emerged. While she worked hard to regain her former self, Helen was no longer organized, punctual or reliable. On college and university team projects, she was disorganized and always late, and her written communications were poor. Unlike before, she needed study aids like cue cards as well as frequent note reviews. She could only handle a reduced course load and took longer to earn her college diploma and
university degree. She lost her first job after university because of performance difficulties.
Her emotional and social profile changed as well. She suffered from serious depression for months after the accident. Long term, her personality became volatile. Her temperament could change quickly and she could become mean. She would sometimes say hurtful things, without realizing the effects of her words. She became moody and a sometimes difficult person to be around.
Helen’s career prospects, as well as her ability to enjoy life and carry out ordinary tasks without assistance, were much reduced. In short, her life changed permanently for the worse.
The court in this case pointed out that “mild” concussion or MTBI refers to the physical damage to the brain not the potential consequences, which in exceptional cases can be long-lasting and severe. There is no single objective test to establish MTBI, which may exist even if, as here, it wasn’t detected by an MRI scan.
The court assessed Helen’s lost career opportunities and reduced earning capacity at $1 million. It also awarded her compensation for the costs of future care and other losses.
This case shows how important it can be to have a thoroughly prepared and well-presented case in order to bring out the sometimes subtle consequences of a concussion – before-and-after differences in cognitive abilities plus changes in social skills, behaviour, mood and personality – all brought about by a “mild” concussion.

Is terrorismback?
Two explosions near the finish line of the famed Boston Marathon seem to indicate that terrorism
attacks continue, with large, high-profile events in the United States the favoured targets.
As of the time of writing, there was no proof that terrorists had planted the two explosions. At least one other explosive device was found near the scene and was detonated by authorities.
There were at least two fatalities and very serious injuries, and the exact toll won’t be known right away. There were also reports of people losing limbs near the site of the explosions.
It is almost certain that these attacks were well-planned, and this was no accident. Anyone who pays attention to American culture knows that the Boston Marathon is among the most prestigious races of its type, and attracts major media attention.
This is tailor-made for terrorists, who crave publicity. Their purpose is to scare large numbers of people, bring attention to themselves and show the United States and other major countries that, no matter how hard they try, they can’t completely stop these types of attacks.
Terrorists seek, more than anything else, to disrupt the way of life that most people in North America and Europe and a few other parts of the world enjoy. They want to disrupt democracy and bring chaos, confusion and death to others — often claiming that they are simply paying back western countries for past misdeeds.
The Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, of course, were the worst terrorist attacks in living memory — but there have been others, in Bali, London and Mumbai. The culprits are a varied lot. While many attacks have been attributed to Al-Qaeda, the Oklahoma City bombings on April 19, 1995 were the work of a group of Americans angry at their own government.
Canada, while it has escaped serious terrorist attacks, has had a number of near-misses. Several years ago, a large group of young people were arrested outside Toronoto, and they had definite plans to set off explosions and conduct high-profile kidnappings.
Just recently, it has been learned that two of the extremists who attacked an Algerian gas plant in January were from London, Ontario. Two other young men from that city have also been linked to extremism.
Terrorism is a sad fact of life in our modern age.

Pocketbookflying
Glancing at CTV British Columbia News on the web, there was a poll question that has huge
implications for air travel.Bellingham International Airport
saw 61,402 people fly out in March, surpassing the old record of 55,407 set in July 2012. CTV’s web poll asks: Would you consider driving to Bellingham to save money on a flight?
Many people, including some locals, do so.
When it comes to air travel, especially within Canada, those in charge of the carriers need to give their heads a shake.
For my wife and I to fly from Comox to Edmonton return, it was going to cost us approximately $900.
By cashing in some Alaska Airlines points, it cost the two of us $125 to fly from Bellingham (change planes in Seattle) to Edmonton return.
So even when you add in $160 return for B.C. Ferries, a night in a hotel in Bellingham and $38 to park our car for a week, we’re still nearly $500 in the black compared to flying out of Comox.
It caused a little confusion at the border when the guard asked us our purpose for entering the U.S.
We were so pleased to be saving $500 we couldn’t wait to give him the good news and at the same time slam the Canadian system.
“I guess I would do the same thing,” he said. “Have a good trip.”
We had a similar experience in Edmonton with a Canadian Border Services officer, and she also agreed it sounded like smart way to travel.
Canadian travellers from the Lower Mainland and the Fraser Valley are nothing new to the folks in Bellingham. The hop over the border for a cheap flight would be nothing to them.
But when it’s worth the while of Vancouver Islanders to eat the cost of the ferry ride and a hotel, that’s got to cause a little concern for the airline folks who fly from here.
Like many people, I’ll fly the skies that are friendliest to my pocketbook.

BC Liberals unveil their platformTaxes, debt, TransLink are all part of party’s plans
The BC Liberals can’t get a break when it comes to news coverage of their re-
election bid.The campaign officially begins
today (Tuesday), but in fact it has been underway since the B.C. Legislature ended its session on March 14.
The Liberals unveiled their platform at a special event on Monday, with media mem-bers sequestered to look over the platform and Premier Christy Clark speaking about it afterwards.
Unfortunately, with the kind of coincidental timing that has dogged the Liberals on many occasions in recent months, it all happened just as reports of two bombs exploding at the finish line of the Boston Marathon began to come in.
News about the Liberal platform did get out, but received barely a mention as media outlets were, quite naturally, focusing on the bombings. It is entirely possible that this may mark the beginning of another round of ter-rorism attacks in North America.
The platform focuses a great deal of atten-tion on revenue from natural gas sales, partic-ularly from gas flowing to liquefaction plants on the north coast, five of which are in the planning stages. The BC Liberals expect a massive amount of tax revenue from these plants over the next 20 years, and Clark has already stated that half of that revenue will be used to pay down the debt.
She said in Langley on April 6 that it is entirely possible, if the plants proceed as expected, that B.C. could be completely debt-free within 15 years. While that seems ambi-
tious, there is no doubt that there will be significant new revenue flowing to gas-producing areas which are in proximity to Asia, where there is a huge demand.
B.C. is well-positioned to take advantage of this demand.
The Japanese government is prepar-ing to spend a massive amount of money to have natural gas-fired electricity plants replace nuclear power plants. Prior to last year’s earthquake and tsunami, there were 50 nuclear power units in Japan, but almost all of them are now offline and it seems unlilkely that many will be reopened.
The Liberals have been counting on B.C. gas being sold at a premium price in Asia. That may not happen. Japan is already pres-suring to pay market prices for gas — not a premium price.
The Liberals plan also calls for Metro Van-couver residents to vote by referendum on new plans to fund TransLink, which are to be worked out by the mayors and the province. Public support is needed for TransLink to really move forward for the long term, and a referendum makes a lot of sense. The public must back any plans to boost taxes.
The government also plans to keep both income tax and carbon tax levels at the same rate as they are today. While this is welcome, it does not address the government’s pen-chant in recent years to keep boosting user fees.
These include MSP premiums, as well as Hydro and ICBC rates. The government has been taking large dividends from these two Crown corporations.

Editor: Re: “Fans want Metro to reopen Langley track,” (The Times, April 11).
Do these racing cars use a form of fuel which does not pollute the envi-ronment?
The contradiction with the carbon tax and what it is trying to achieve. and the speedway reopening request is blatantly obvious.
How can Metro Vancouver support such an action?
If this speedway gets the green light to operate, then the carbon tax should be given the red light to stop immedi-ately.
Diana-Lynne Rodgers,Langley
A major contrast in fundraising dinners
Cutting corporate, union donations makes sense Editor: It’s important to know what
electoral finance reform would allow and not allow (“Financing provincial elections,” editorial, The Times, April 11).
It would stop some of Alberta’s wealthiest individuals from donating to B.C.’s political parties, as some do today even though they can’t vote in B.C. It would stop corporations and unions from writing cheques to their favourite political party, leaving the impression — if not the reality — of undue influence. Corporations and unions also can’t vote.
But it won’t stop them from partici-pating in the political process. It’ll just be in their voice, not someone else’s. And their spending will be limited in a campaign, as it is today. Third-party spending limits have been deemed constitutional by the Supreme Court of Canada.
As the court noted in 2004: “If a few groups are able to flood the electoral discourse with their message, it is pos-sible, indeed likely, that the voices of some will be drowned out.” And that’s why it’s time to take what’s left of big money out of B.C. politics.
Since 2005, corporations and unions have donated $60 million to the B.C. Liberals and NDP. In the same period — as a result of federal legislation introduced by Jean Chretien and fur-ther strengthened by Stephen Harper — not a single cent has flowed from corporations and unions to Canada’s federal political parties.
Yet, Canada still has a “robust politi-cal tradition,” as will B.C. when similar rules are adopted here.

Editor: I was watching the TV news one morning last week, and heard about the BC Liberal gala, $400 per person fundraiser, with approximately 1,800 people in attendance. Wow, that’s quite a score.
It kinds of put into perspective the fundraiser we hosted for the BC Con-
servative candidate, Rick Manuel, who is running in Fort Langley-Aldergrove.
We had an awesome turnout (at least 80 people) who paid $20 each at a barbecue. We also had a silent auction which was very well sup-ported.
I am sure you can figure out we
didn’t make the big bucks the Liberals did, but we had a wonderful bunch of people looking for a change. Thank you to all who came out to support Rick. He will work hard for us. Yea David, boo Goliath.

Editor: I was unimpressed with your front page coverage of the proposal to establish a race track in Campbell Valley (The Times, April 11), given that there were no comments from anyone other than Langley Speedway supporters. There are plenty of people who oppose the ridiculous suggestion that car races should be revived in this nature and equestrian park, and your paper couldn’t find one person to interview?
As a member of the Campbell Val-ley Park Association, as a resident who lives beside this nature and equestrian park, and as a concerned community member, I see nothing positive about such a proposal.
The former speedway in Campbell Valley Park is nothing but a track surrounded by thick vegetation and equestrian and walking trails. Imag-ine the impact on the park, to build a modern-day race track.
With respect to its agricultural and
speedway past, Campbell Valley Park was created as a nature and equestrian park. It also functions to protect the quality of the aquifer in Langley.
A speedway retrofit in this park would not only be inconsistent with its current use patterns, it would be extremely noisy, produce greenhouse gases, require equestrian and hik-ing trails to be diverted, and require huge amounts of parking space. This in itself would impact on the quantity and quality of habitat in the park, and create massive traffic issues on 16 Ave-nue, which is already considered an overused and very dangerous road.
More traffic would inevitably cause more wildlife road kill. The race noise would spook horses and degrade the park experience for family picnics, dogwalkers, and hikers and naturalists. The sanctity and green space of this park becomes all the more important as plans to develop Brookswood and
move thousands of people into this area proceed.
The Campbell Valley Park Asso-ciation has consistently opposed any proposition to re-establish the speedway. The Langley Speedway His-torical Society is very much aware of this, and its members have stated on numerous occasions that they did not intend to rebuild the speedway.
Yet last week, they advertised their proposal to rebuild the speedway on radio and newspapers and made a proposal to the Metro Vancouver parks committee.
This doesn’t sound like a group that can be trusted to work with the com-munity or have the benefit of the park in mind. What really should be done is that the site be restored to a natural forest, so that it is consistent with the current status of this park.

Dan FergusonTimes Reporter
Propane cannon opponent Kevin Mitchell has decided to run in the provin-cial election, against
incumbent Fort Lang-ley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman.
Mitchell, a 54-year-old married father of three, recently fired off one of the bird scare devices outside
a speech by Premier Christy Clark. It was part of a protest against the provincial government’s refusal to con-sider banning the devices.
In an interview with The Times on Monday, Mitchell said that while the can-non issue “was the impetus” behind his decision to run as an independent, he is more than a one-issue candidate.
Mitchell said his concerns also include dumping of landfill material and bet-ter management of development, matters
the prov-ince, not the municipality, has authority over.
As an independent, Mitchell said he will better represent the
Township than an MLA like Coleman, who must follow his party’s policy.
“I think Mr. Cole-man is doing what he is told,” Mitchell said.
Mitchell’s first pub-lic appearance as a candidate will be at the Greater Langley Chamber of Com-merce all-candidates meeting on Tuesday (today) at the Summit Theatre of the Cas-cades Casino.

Propane cannon opponent Kevin Mitchell has decided to run in the provin-cial election, against
incumbent Fort Lang-ley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman.
Mitchell, a 54-year-old married father of three, recently fired off one of the bird scare devices outside
a speech by Premier Christy Clark. It was part of a protest against the provincial government’s refusal to con-sider banning the devices.
In an interview with The Times on Monday, Mitchell said that while the can-non issue “was the impetus” behind his decision to run as an independent, he is more than a one-issue candidate.
Mitchell said his concerns also include dumping of landfill material and bet-ter management of development, matters
the prov-ince, not the municipality, has authority over.
As an independent, Mitchell said he will better represent the
Township than an MLA like Coleman, who must follow his party’s policy.
“I think Mr. Cole-man is doing what he is told,” Mitchell said.
Mitchell’s first pub-lic appearance as a candidate will be at the Greater Langley Chamber of Com-merce all-candidates meeting on Tuesday (today) at the Summit Theatre of the Cas-cades Casino.

establishment at 19530 Langley Bypass has undergone a signi� cant facelift to its interior, it still maintains the warm, vibrant atmosphere that has appealed to patrons since � rst opening 10 years ago.The biggest changes include the Fox

will have to head to the Fraser Valley to sink their teeth into this savoury new appetizer. "The hosts have tried encouraging a

Dan FergusonTimes Reporter
Later this week, Township residents will get their chance to comment on a proposed $2.7 million, 20-year plan to boost agricultural activity and reduce conflict between urban neighbour-hoods and nearby farms.
An open house on the Agricultural Viability Strategy (AVS) will be held on Thursday, April 18, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Township civic facility at 20338 65 Ave.
The 101-page AVS was developed by a 10-member task force.
It proposes a four-part plan to pro-vide a “welcoming business environ-ment for farming,” services to encour-
age “agri-industrial hubs” that would process locally grown food within Langley, measures to create a secure agricultural land base, and rules to ensure “best farm management prac-tices” are used by local farmers.
Among the suggested 34 initiatives, 86 policies and 85 actions are the cre-ation of a farmers’ institute to repre-sent agricultural interests, regulations requiring notifying home buyers when “the use of their properties may be impacted by normal farm practices” and incentives to encourage food pro-cessors to build plants in Langley to process locally-grown food.
Agriculture occupies more than three-quarters of the Township’s 316 square kilometres and Langley has one-half of all the farms operating in Metro
VancouverA staff report to council calls the
$2.7 million cost of the AVS a “rela-tively small investment” for an industry that generates more than $277 million annually.
A Township survey of more than 1,400 Langley residents conducted for the AVS shows that farming is “very” or “somewhat” important to 95 per cent of urban and 96 per cent of rural respondents.
The written announcement of the open house by the Township notes that the event is not intended to deal with propane cannon use, an issue another task force has been discussing.
Following the open house, the plan will come back to council for a vote on approval and implementation.

It’s spring! As the stores put out the floral print denim and the coloured
flats the fashion trends don’t stop there. Your garden is set for some great new styles too.
Pantone, the colour experts, have declared Emerald Green to be The Colour for 2013. Anyone who’s anyone will be wearing Emerald jewelry, accessorizing with emerald purses or making a statement in an emerald green sundress. In your garden this translates into emerald cushions on the patio furniture, green pots on the deck, wind chimes with emerald green beads, antiqued emerald candle sticks.
If you’re not ready to ditch last year’s cushions in Tangerine Tango, simply combine them with some green accents for a vibrant and striking contrast. You’ll be the most current and stylish neighbour at the block party.
In plant colours the trend is moving away from pinks and purples towards more yellow, orange and red. Yellow is a good pick any time and should show up in every garden. When you plant a few yellow and white flowers the other colours will stand out more.
The housing market continues to thrive here in Langley with so many homes going up on small lots. The landscaping is perfected with little room for the personal touch of the home owner. The quickest and easiest way to add charm to your home is with hanging baskets and container gardens. These continue to be hot
sellers in any garden centre. The consumer’s increasingly
sophisticated tastes have forced growers to evolve as well. They have moved away from the basic growers’ mix baskets to stylish designer mixes. You’ll see Confetti Garden Baskets hanging from the most chic homes. Instead of an assortment of nine different plants that tend to grow rather wild, Confetti Garden Baskets are carefully coordinated for colour and growth habit. Each 12” basket has a repeat of three different plants (9 plugs all together) that will grow in a consistently round shape as the basket fills in.
If you’re looking to fill your flower gardens and prefer the more traditional there are some great new varieties of petunias out there. Petunias are perfect for heat and water restrictions. New colours available include Mini Rose Blast and Raspberry Ripple. You’ll love how they look in hanging baskets and pots and how they fill out your flower beds. Also regaining popularity are scented flowers. Ignore those allergies and plant some fragrance in your yard. Kahori Dianthus was awarded the 2011 American Garden Award and is now readily available locally. The sweet scent comes from the flowers that will bloom all season long. This dianthus is drought tolerant, deer resistant and attracts butterflies. The bright pink flowers are a wonderful addition to your garden.
If edibles are more your thing look for the new variety of hot peppers
called Hot Cayennetta. This variety bears tons of fruit and does not require staking. This makes it perfect for container gardening and hanging baskets. Even apartment dwellers can grow their own hot peppers.
With the increasing popularity of container gardens it makes sense that there is more variety available in pots as well. Today’s gardener is no longer limited to simple terracotta or heavy concrete and stone pots. New pots are made of lightweight materials that can be moved easily and many can be recycled when you are tired of them.
Fiber clay is a combination of fiberglass and clay. It is much lighter than stone but makes it possible to get the look of natural stone. Without spending the big bucks you get a high end look. This material is not meant to last though, and after a few years you will want to replace it. That works out just fine since that’s the way we like to do things: change our look every few seasons.
For those who want something that lasts a little longer there’s Bio Clay. It is as environmentally friendly as it sounds. These are pots that are manufactured with molds like plastic pots are, but contain very little resin. They are made mostly of a mix of clay, wood and stone powder. Like Fiber Clay you get a natural stone look without the weight and cost. They can be finished in different ways like marble or ancient stone.
Innovations in plastic containers have produced beautiful finishes
that are a far cry from the green azalea pots of old. These high density poly pots offer more staying power, gorgeous colours and the possibility of special finishes. You can find this type of pot with a sandy finish (among others) suggesting rough concrete, but weighing only a few pounds. Other finishes give the look of ceramic without the chipability. Best of all, these pots can be recycled at your local garden center when you are ready for a new look!
Every year new innovations in gardening products and new genetics in the plant varieties make the industry an exciting one to watch. The best part about it is that there is no need to be a silent by-stander. The products are there to make gardening easy, enjoyable and successful. All you need to do is get down to your favourite garden centre and find your flowers. So get out there and get gardening!

Building a safer home
By Kerry Vital
When you think about safety in your home, you probably think of aging in place. While some of those principles are good things to keep in mind, having a safer home goes far beyond installing a stair-lift or removing trip hazards.
“You can have a safe home without taking away from the beauty of a home,” says David
“ more page.2
Building a home that will work for a lifetime is about more
than looking at trip hazards.

By Maggie Calloway
There is a trend, especially in the Vancouver real estate market, of families making the decision to do a full-house renovation rather than selling and buying another home.
That is certainly the case with this family and for the same reasons as many other families: they are settled in the neigh-bourhood, they like the schools and it’s close to work. But the house, which had been renovated by previous owners, was stuck in the 1980s. The configuration of the rooms didn’t work for the family and there was a lot of wasted space because some rooms were isolated and consequently were not used. It was time for a fresh start and a reconfiguration of the whole house so the family could utilize the space properly.
The contractor chosen for the job was Tobias Puga of Vision Built Homes.
“This house is a five-bedroom suburban home, about 50
years old, which the family has lived in for seven years. It had gone through several renovations but was very dated and need a complete renovation to work for the family of four plus a nanny,” Puga says. “When we started taking the stucco down we could see where doors and windows had been patched and made to fit during a previous renovation. We took the roof off and extended the second floor to the front of the house, which added two bedrooms. We installed a 24-foot-long steel beam above the living room and made the ceiling flat and that was mirrored on the basement floor as well.”
Fifty per cent of the basement was dug down, lowered and underpinned to increase the ceiling height to just over eight feet then pushed back 10 feet to increase the size of the laun-dry room and media room.
“Now in the basement they have a small wine room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a media room,” Puga says. “Up-stairs we switched around the kitchen from the west side to
the east side of the house ... and got rid of the French doors and opened that wall up to a 14-foot by 7-foot glass double sliders which flooded the space with light. The old kitchen space became the family room entertainment space.”
Jenny Martin of Jenny Martin Design was very much involved in designing both the new space as well as pulling together the interior design.
“This project was gutted down to the bone and the clients were fantastic, they gave us full control and just said make it work and look fabulous, so it was a great experience,” Martin says. “They are still giving us feedback, saying every time they wake up they feel like they are in a W Hotel. The home has an edge and real character which they just love, so we are all so pleased they are so happy.”
The success of this remodeled home is in the way each member of the family is happy and comfortable in the space and that’s the bottom line of what a family home should be.
Rebuilding a family home for the long-term
The five-bedroom home was in dire need of updating. It had previously gone through several renovations, but the configuration wasn’t working for the family of four plus a nanny who now live in the home. With the help of Vision Built Homes, the Vancouver home is now modernized and perfect for the owners.

Shepherd, manager of finance and adminis-tration for MLK Properties. “It doesn’t need to be a stereotypical ‘accessible’ home.”
The SAFERhome Standards Society, spon-sored by the Homeowner Protection Office, BC Housing, the Vancouver Resource Society and the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of British Columbia, lays out a 19-point list for homebuilders and buyers to ensure that their home is built to conform to certain principles, called universal home design.
Such principles will allow developers and builders to construct homes that will stand the test of time and ensure continued safety for residents of all ages, from toddlers to senior citizens.
Among the standards are wider hallways, flush exterior thresholds and outlets that are set higher than usual.
Outlets that are placed higher on the wall mean that those with back problems will find it easier to plug in their appliances as they won’t have to bend as far to reach them.
Similarly, light switches should be placed six inches lower than usual to lessen the dif-ference between tall and short members of the family, and prevent people having to reach for the switch. According to the SAFERhome Standards, the original height of 48 inches was to accommodate wainscoting, which is no longer a favoured design detail. Making the light switch lower also gives you the ability to switch it on or off with your elbow (depend-
ing on your height) if your hands are full; something that would be incredibly convenient when you come in with the groceries!
Wider hallways are built to accommo-date wheelchairs and walkers, should the homeowner require them in the future.
A shower without a lip to step over is another requirement, to prevent people from falling when they step into the shower. Regulations over where the shower controls are located (closer to the edge instead of in the centre) is one of the 19 standards that a builder must comply with. It is also recommended that a hom-eowner install more than one showerhead to cater to people of differing heights.
“We want these homes to be ‘forever’ homes,” Shepherd says. “Someone should be able to live there long-term.”
MLK Properties is currently selling a home in Richmond that has been built to conform with SAFERhome Standards. It is the first such home in the city.
“The changes are so subtle that they’re almost invisible,” Shepherd says. “Unless you know about it, you don’t notice that the hallways are wider or the outlets are higher. But they make a huge difference.”
Shepherd notes that if a home is built to include these standards, it won’t add any cost to the homeowner because outlets, light switches and other things must still be installed.
For more information about SAFER-home Standards, visit www.saferhomeso-ciety.com.
“ from page.1
Safety at no extra cost to the homeowners
David Shepherd of MLK Properties, left, says a home doesn’t have to sacrifice beauty to be safer. Walk- or roll-in showers, top, and outlets situated higher on the walls, top left, go a long way towards making a home safer in the long run.

By Kerry VitalGreat interior design doesn’t have to break the bank. Whether it’s a small
change to the colour of your walls or a new piece of trendy decor, there are many ways to keep your budget intact while still having an amazing home.
“Paint is possibly the cheapest investment you can make and has the potential to be the most dramatic,” says Sheryn Calvert of Calvert Design Studio. “It is also easy to change; pick a bold, trending colour that you love – and then change it when it’s ‘out’ or you get tired of it in a few years.”
She suggests that people who are looking to stick to their budget look in a secondhand shop, or reupholster or repurpose an item that they already have.
“Think outside of the box to create unique pieces for your home,” Calvert says. “You can also customize low-cost items. Plain white bookcase? Add some wallpaper for colour and texture.”
Being creative and doing it yourself will benefit you in non-budgetary ways. It can also make for a great conversation piece when you tell people that you made something yourself. Calvert notes that buying a blank canvas and painting it yourself can make for a wonderful piece of art for your wall.
“Almost anything can be a piece of art or accessory if you put your mind to it,” she says.
Her final tip is to be patient.“Stores will have huge blowout and clearance sales every once in awhile,
and it is definitely worth it to wait for those amazing finds,” Calvert says. “Sign up for email newsletters to know when a sale is happening. You can also go to a showroom and look for ‘as-is’ or floor models.”
Calvert points out that there are a few things that you shouldn’t try, no matter how inexpensive they are.
“In a bag. If these words are included in the title of your purchase, walk away,” she says. “Design has moved forward from ‘matchy matchy’ to an eclectic, more personal style.”
She also warns about the trend towards open storage in the kitchen.
“Can anyone always keep their cupboards 100 per cent organized? I know that I can’t. Closed storage with touch-latch hardware looks a lot better than the typical pots and pans cupboard.”
Another trend that Calvert says is on the way out is dark wood. Instead, she notes that clients are leaning more towards medium or light tones instead.
“Lighter finishes make your room have a lighter, more open feel to it,” she says. “Grey-toned flooring is extremely hot right now!”
Great design on a budget
Beautiful interior decor doesn’t have to be expensive. Adding a pop of colour or finding a cool wall decal can spice up a room.

By Maggie Calloway
So you bit the bullet and tackled the house room by room: piles to the charity shop, piles to the trash and your “keepers” also in a pile ready to be put back in closets, drawers and cup-boards but you are loath to cram everything back into closets with one hanging bar with everything else once again piled on the floor or back into drawers almost never to be seen again. So what can you do?
Troy Bell, of Unique Storage & Organizers has some advice.“This is exactly the time to put in systems which not only
get you organized now but keep you organized going forward,” he says. “We do everything from bedroom reach-in closets to walk-in closets, and everywhere else in the house which needs an organizing system tailored to how the family lives.”
The entryway or if the family is lucky enough to have a designated mudroom is the first line of defense to keep the outdoor clothes, sports equipment and Fido’s paraphernalia contained.
“If there is room we like to install a locker for each member of the family so they have their own little cubby if you will,” Bell says. “They can put their coats on a hook, hang their back-pack, and put their helmets and skateboards in there, shoes and boots. But if you live in a condo or a townhouse there is
much less room in the entryway; most of the time there is a reach-in closet so I came up with a design a number of years ago to maximize that limited space. If you want to stay organized it is imperative there are designated places for things; if not they just get dumped.”
The garage is another place of entry to the home and here again systems are needed to stop outdoor clothes and toys from clutter-ing the home. The garage is also in danger of becoming the place to pile things with no designated home.
“If you are entering and exiting your home through the garage, people don’t gen-erally hang their coats there. Hooks to hang wet coats is a good idea, but they will take their shoes off so we will put a shelving sys-tem in there to hold all the shoes otherwise they end up piled on the landing or on the steps,” Bell says. “The other great organiz-ing system people like next to the ... door in the garage are bins for recycling which gets them out of the kitchen.”
Keeping yourself organized
Keeping yourself organized starts with getting rid of clutter. Installing a great storage solution for what you keep will go a long way towards fixing the problem.

Integrating the home office into your spaceBy Maggie Calloway
More and more people are either working full-time from home or bringing a significant part of their workload home plus managing the house-hold finances, scheduling of everyone going in different di-rections and staying in touch with friends and relatives through social media. Whew!
For those of us who work from home a designated space is crucial. Trying to be productive when work is scat-tered from the dining room table to the kitchen counter does not bode well for your sanity, never mind productiv-ity.
Aris Catevatis, Principal with Ace Integrated Systems, who specialize in wiring and installing systems in both home and corporate offices, says, “We first-of-all do a site visit to figure out the design
and layout of the room and how it’s going to be used. Where is the desk going to be placed, is the television going to be used as a monitor? You can have a small monitor on your desk but you can also connect your laptop or your PC to the television for watch-ing movies or hold a meet-ing where everyone needs to be able to see what’s on the screen.”
If you are doing a renova-tion and the room has been stripped back to the studs, this is the time to call in the experts to install the cor-rect wiring to handle all the electronics.
It is a good idea to wire-up two or three different loca-tions, instead of the usual one, so there is built-in flexibility. The way technology is moving at breakneck speed, it makes sense to pre-wire instead of trying to make an inadequate
system expand.For those who don’t need
a designated home office the idea of having a desk and separate monitors is a thing of the past.
“Nowadays our clients integrate their current living rooms, master bedrooms, media rooms/family room, theatres and even kitchen tele-vision screens; they are now being used as offices, con-trolled by Control4 Remotes and in-wall touchscreens, to control the computer, television, Apple TV, media player, all from the iPhone or Android in everyone’s pocket, or they can even use an iPad or any PC tablet to control the (audio-visual) equipment and computers,” Catevatis says. “Updating files between your home computer, laptop, tablet and phone (has) never been easier. Spreadsheets, PDF files, photos and even media can be
shared in seconds with programs like Dropbox which offers free service. Plus, if you want to view your home surveillance system from your computer or phone from any-where in the world that can be wired in at the same time.”
Gone are the days when setting up a home office meant calling your service provider to come in and install a simple jack.
Aris Catevatis of Ace Integrated Systems notes that most people don’t have a dedicated home office anymore, and instead integrate it with another room, such as the media room, bedroom or family room.

The boom in farmers markets, cooking classes, wine appreciation seminars and the run on kitchen-ware stores plus the resurgence of the family dinner leads to the next step of wanting a dining room, more specifically a dining table, around which the family can gather.
Life-long memories are made around the dining table; it’s where the family connects with each other and where the day’s joys and sorrows are discussed. Serving dinner on the kitchen table somehow doesn’t lend itself to the importance of the occasion.
Adherents to the philosophy of Feng Shui have very strict requirements of this family room but we all want to dine in a room which welcomes us, is calm and warm with space for family and friends and has comfortable chairs. No one wants to linger at the table if they are uncomfortable; certainly not kids!
Nadine Miller and her husband Bjarne Holt, owners of home furnishing store Casa in Vancouver, are passionate about providing the dining table and chairs to enhance the home-dining experience. Holt apprenticed in his native Denmark with internation-ally renowned designers and craftsmen during and after attending one of the top woodworking schools in Europe. He brings over 40 years of experience and his very high standards to Casa and his fabulous bespoke dining tables and chairs.
“We are very excited to announce we are setting up a studio for Bjarne right in the store so customers can see him at work and appreciate the great atten-tion to detail in every piece,” Miller says.
Some of the beautiful tables at Casa are made from one old Sunshine Coast maple tree. “This old-growth maple was not felled but sourced after it naturally fell from old age. Some of the tables are combined with African Bubinga wood or Birdseye Maple,” Miller says. “Some of this very valuable maple wood is still available so if you are looking for a custom size it just may be possible. Imagine having a dining table which is numbered, signed and a limited edition.”
In this era of every family member running off in different directions it is even more important that at least a few evenings a week are put aside to take time to cook together then sit around a beautiful table and, dare we say it, talk.
And if you are looking for more reasons to take the time and dine together, the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia Univer-sity reports that children who eat with their families at least five times a week are at a lower risk of weight problems and developing unhealthy dependences such as alcohol and drugs.
So plan ahead, include the whole family in prepar-ing meals and let’s get back to spending time with each other. There is no downside and everything to gain.
There are a wide variety of styles available when it comes to furnishing your dining room. From a modern style with clear chairs to a classic wood look, you’ll find no shortage of options.
Taking the time to sit down and have a meal as a family

You have searched and searched for the perfect piece of furniture to complete a room and although you have seen many great pieces they are just not right. So what can you do?
Consider having something designed and custom-made for you.
Metro Vancouver’s Harris & Blake Fine Cabinetry Inc. can design and make the fur-niture piece of your dreams so fine that it will become a family heirloom passed down and treasured through the generations.
Partner Robert Blakemore graduated from The Rycotewood Furniture Centre in Oxford, which has an international reputation as a centre of excellence in innovative furni-ture design and making, with distinction in furniture crafts and associated design. After graduating he worked under master crafts-
man Phillip Koomen.Partner Andrew Harrison has
an equally impressive resume. Harrison attended the British Columbia Institute of Technol-ogy, graduating from the Bench-work and Joinery Program, then apprenticed at a high-end custom furniture shop under the expertise of master craftsmen. Eventually Harrison created his own company, Architectural Millwork and Design, which was very successful.
The opportunity to partner with Blakemore presented itself and the new company was born.
“We have a great melding of talents and experience at our company. Andrew is an excep-tional finisher and looks after that segment of the workshop and manufac-turing and I look after the design,” Blakemore says. “We invested quite heavily five years ago in machinery from Italy which allows us to take our designs from a computer design pro-gram directly onto this machine; it produces shapes and parts for us. For a small shop it was a huge investment but very worthwhile. It has enabled us to go to the next level.”
Harris & Blake doesn’t sell to retail outlets. They work directly with designers, architects and individual clients to meet their needs.
“Typically a client will have an idea of something they want, be it a dining table, coffee table, an entertainment unit or other need. We meet with them and listen to their need and what they envision; I spend a lot of time listening which is key,” Blakemore says.
“Then I have the opportunity to expose them to different woods and different ways of approaching the design. It is a collaborative effort; we go through the process tweaking as we go until the cli-ent is happy. Sometimes I make a model and then the wood, stains and finishes are chosen based on the requirement of that particular piece. We have the capa-bility of making exceptional pieces of furniture in our workshop and we utilize the best materials. We only use North American materials but what we are also able to do is meet budgets while at the same time bringing our talents and expertise to every project big or small.”
This high level of work is apparent.“If a person enjoys quality and wants
something very specific, that is very possible,” Blakemore says. “The level of work we do and the care we put into a piece doesn’t change. We find out what clients need and design a piece that is within a budget and are very happy to do so.”
Customizing the perfect piece of furniture
Robert Blakemore at Harris & Blake Fine Cabinetry says he enjoys introducing customers to new styles, different woods and a new way of approaching the design of the piece.

The DIY world is full of people of all types attempting to do it on their own. Pinterest is a fabulous bulletin board full of great ideas for people to do or simply dream of doing. Sometimes a project seems so creative, too amazing and too difficult for the ordinary citizen to attempt. If hanging up a picture is about the extent of your hammering expertise and paint by number is as creative as you get, then here is the perfect starter project.
Low budget is good, especially if you’re a beginner. It’s intimidating to invest big money into a project only to see it flop. Look on Craigslist or at your neighbourhood antique store or maybe even a thrift store for an old door with a great look. I found this 103 year old door on CL from a Kitsilano reno. I bet this baby has some stories to tell! The indignities someone of this age must have endured!
Fortunately the foam stickers were easy to remove. This pretty baby was dirty and needed a bath before I was going to take the sander to it. I scrubbed it up with Safe Prep, a great solution for cleaning items before sanding and painting them. Works as well as other de-greasers but without the harmful side effects.
Once the door was dry I used an electric sander. I won’t lie, it wasn’t as easy as I would have liked, although it probably could have been a lot worse! It took about an hour to sand the door and reveal the blue-grey colour underneath. I was excited: I liked where this was going!
I didn’t need to do anything to the other side since the plan is to hang this up on the wall. But out of curiosity I tried a bit. Not nearly as rewarding as the first side, the second side simply had more white paint. This blue-grey was a lucky find!
When I used the air compressor to blow off the dust (my husband let me use the shop so I had all the tools I needed!) a few chips of paint blew off too. My initial reaction was dismay. But really the look we are going for is not that of perfection, so a few chips fit right in.
My original plan was to add some more colour, in particular the fabulous turquoise that is so popular these days. I had some paint left form a previous project so I put a bit in a margarine container and added some water. I thought I’d dry brush it on the door to achieve a fun look. After rubbing it with a t-shirt I wasn’t thrilled with the result. I tried adding some brown to improve the look. It didn’t work. This is why experts recommend testing the effect on scrap wood first.
So how do I solve this problem? I pull out my trusty eraser, a.k.a. electric sander and re-sand the spots where I put the paint. Plan B: skip the colour.
Now for the fun part. The two long panels are painted with magnetic paint and covered with chalkboard paint. How great is that? Did you even know there was such a thing as magnetic paint?
While waiting for the paint to dry I worked on the string. I pressed in 10 adorable thumbtacks (found at Dollarama) to wrap the string around. I looped the string twice around itself at the centre crossover points. Make sure it’s tight so it won’t sag when photos are attached. Then I pressed the tacks farther in so they wouldn’t come undone.
Finally attach hanging hardware at the back. It will need to be heavy duty because the door is solid and heavy. And voila! A super cool memo board worthy of a pin on Pinterest!

In Perfect Harmony – � e Cypress Creek Duo — Langley’s Monthly Young-At-Heart Section — April 2013 — THISis theLIFE!
continued on next page
Jim McGregor
When you tune in to the � rst track of the
Cypress Creek Duo’s CD, you hear the unmistakable intro to Folsom Prison Blues followed by the golden tones of Allan Cusworth. But it sure sounds like Johnny Cash. As the mellow music comes from each track, Allan’s wife Natalia adds her melodies and harmonies and before you know it, you are singing along and tapping your feet.
Allan and Natalia have been in harmony for close to � � y years. Allan laughs, “We got married on July 1st. 1967, Canada’s 100th birthday and we hope to have an even bigger party for our 100th anniversary.”
Allan and Natalia are well known throughout the Lower Mainland for their singing style that regularly entertains at senior’s facilities, dances, or private functions such as anniversaries or birthdays.
“We call our sound a mix of classic country and traditional oldies rock and roll, music for all occasions,” explains Allan. “We both have a passion for the music of the � � ies and sixties. � at’s what we grew up with and we � nd there is still a big
audience out there for that sound.”
Allan grew up in Ontario a� er his family came from She� eld England. He sold dew worms to � shermen until he saved up $18.00 to buy his � rst guitar. “I practiced for hours and I used to go down to the community hall and hang on the edge of the stage for hours and listen to groups like the Rice Lake Islanders play for the crowd at the week-end dances.”
Natalia grew up in Portugal and recalls her love of singing. “I used to sing out in the back yard . I sang all the time just for the joy of singing. When I came to Canada I didn’t speak any English at all. But I learned a lot from the music. I sang in school plays and glee club. I’ve never had any voice lessons or music training. I just learned it all by ear.”
“I met Allan at the bowling alley in a small town in Northern Ontario where I lived. � ere was bowling or curling and not much else and I used to bowl for di� erent teams. We started dating and he would lend me country records to listen to. I invited him home for dinner and my brothers who also
sang and played the guitar were there so the evening went pretty well.”
“We used to play and sing at local dances and socials from time to time a� er we were married,” recalls Allan. “� en one night in February of 1971, we were asked to � ll in a spot on stage with a group called the Pine Ridge Pals. It was supposed to be one night only but we
were asked to stay on and we played pretty regular for about seventeen years.”
“We kept pretty busy with that,” adds Natalia. I also worked as a receptionist and sales clerk until we decided to have a family. I became a full time home maker with two children. We took up square dancing so we were very active in the music scene.”
In 1994, Allan’s work as a
certi� ed purchasing agent for the chemical industry brought them out west. the duo kept busy playing or dancing with local square dancing groups and performing once in awhile. Natalia taught line dancing for four years or so, a� er they came to B.C.
‘’� en we started square dancing and playing for square dances with three other musicians and we needed a name for the group. One day we took a side trip up to Cypress Bowl and I turned to Natalia and said, “What about Cypress Creek for a band name? When the square dance caller retired, the band � nished but we wanted to keep playing music. We changed the name to Cypress Creek Duo and that’s the name folks know us by now.”
“In 2006 we went back to a cousin’s wedding in Brampton Ontario and met Nelson Camara who has

harmony for close to � � y years.

Allan adds, “Over the next few months, back and forth on Skype or the phone or e-mail, he coached us on using the new equipment and it opened up a lot of new doors for us. We went back to Nelson’s
recording studio in 2012 and recorded our CD which was a remarkable experience and a dream we had always had. Another dream come true will be to hear one of our songs on the radio.”

Dear Brookswood,How could I ever forget. Every time I see my lovely smile, I am reminded of your great work! In fact, we were on a cruise this past spring, and one dear gentleman told me I had ‘the nicest smile on the boat.” I couldn't help but agree. You do great smiles! With thanks, Francis B.
I would like to take this moment to say thank you so much for the new look you have given me. I feel so much better about myself and to think I do look ten years younger! I am so glad I found your ad and came to you for help. I am still in awe with what all took place. Never have I had that kind of attention to detail in dentures.Thank you again, take care, Bonnie
I just wanted to send you a note of thanks for all your thoughtfulness and caring in the past ten months.

When asked why they perform, the answers came easy. “We’re going to sing and play as long as we can,” says Natalia. “We do at least two or three shows a month and sometimes more. We don’t make a lot of money, we usually cover expenses and make enough to stop for dinner on the way home.”
“But I’ll tell why we do this,” says Allan as he leans in. “One day we were playing at Zion Manor and they wheeled in a little lady, hunched over in her wheel chair,
not communicating with anyone. I started playing the Fats Domino song Blueberry Hill and a smile crossed her faced and she started moving her lips. Her happiness just made my day. I have this passion for the guitar and we have a God given talent and we enjoy every chance we have to give that back.”
You think that would be a full enough life for retired people but as you look around Allan and Natalia’s comfortable Willoughby home you can see they both have other interests as well.
Allan is also a gi� ed wood turner and a member of two wood turning guilds. He is a � xture at Art’s Alive each year both displaying his wares and teaching his cra� on the main street.
Natalia took up oil painting a few years ago and her beautiful landscapes are proudly displayed on their walls along with photos of their two children and grand children.
Natalia sums it up, “� e wood turning is Allan, the painting is me and the music is us.” � e Cypress Creek Dou makes pretty sweet music together.
You can learn more about this busy couple and � nd out how to book them or purchase their CD at their web site, www.cypresscreekduo.com or view Allan’s woodturning at www.cusworthwoodturning.com.

Brenda ANDERSON/Langley TimesFrom left: Brian Johnston as Alan Raleigh, Patricia Braun as Annette Raleigh, Langley’s Ken Boyd as Michael Novak and Alaina Holland as Veronica Novak in Langley Players’ production of God of Carnage, directed by Helen Embury.
What could possibly go wrong when two sets of well-heeled parents get together to calmly discuss an altercation between their children?
Well, if it’s the Langley Players’ upcom-ing production of God of Carnage, chances are it’s the kids who’ll come out looking like the sensible ones when the dust has settled.
Langley Players’ latest offering, directed by Helen Embury, is a lively play that takes place during a disastrous meeting between two couples whose sons have been involved in a schoolyard brawl.
In the beginning, the couples are civi-lized but the encounter quickly disinte-grates into a messy, and hilarious, four-way blowout. All of the etiquette barriers are discarded in this wickedly funny comedy of ill manners and pseudo sophis-tication in a series of profanity spouting skirmishes and assaults.
Just getting the opportunity to mount the Tony award-winning play here was a coup, said Embury.
“We are one of the first community the-atre groups to be producing this play – it took numerous phone calls and emails to convince New York to give us the rights to bring this play to Langley audiences,” she said.
Written by Yasmina Reza, God of Car-nage stars Langley’s Ken Boyd as Michael Novak, Surrey’s Alaina Holland as his wife Veronica, Maple Ridge actor Brian John-ston and Abbotsford’s Pat Braun as Alan and Annette Raleigh.
This production will be the company’s entry into this year’s Fraser Valley Zone festival.
God of Carnage runs Thursdays to Sundays from April 18 to May 18 at the Langley Playhouse, 4307 200 St. in Brook-swood. Show times are 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. All tickets are $15. For reserva-tions, call 604-534-7469, or email [email protected].

Shaun Mason had little intention of getting involved with his daughter’s youth soccer team, but circumstances left him no choice.
It was 18 years ago, and Mason’s daughter Devon had signed up with the old Bobby Lenarduzzi soccer camps through the Langley Girls Soccer Association.
“I thought they would have all these wonderful professional coaches,” he admitted.
“I received a call from the club president at the time who informed me there was no coach for my daughter’s team.
“Even though I didn’t really want to coach — because I had two businesses I was running — he told me if I didn’t coach, she might not be able to play, so I really had no choice.”
And Mason has been going strong on the Langley soccer scene ever since.
He continued with the soccer association — which is now called Langley FC (LFC) — as a co-ordinator, then on the executive, as a head coach, and finally as the club’s technical director, a position he held until stepping down last month.
But the fact he has been involved in the game for so long should come as little surprise, considering his bloodlines.
The 51-year-old Mason was born in England and his father played professionally for both Crystal Palace and Queen’s Park Rangers.
“I had no choice (but to play),” he said with a laugh.
The family emigrated to Canada in 1967, when Mason was six, living in Montreal for a few years, before heading west to B.C. and settling in Ladner.
And Mason soon took to the sport, excelling on the pitch, and helping his youth club,
the Dunbar Strongs win six provincial titles and a pair of national titles to boot.
“Fast and skilled,” was how Mason described his game, adding that he very slight as a kid and never
really put on size until he was in his mid-20s.
Mason played on some provincial selects teams in his teenage years but for his senior year, he spent six months in England with Welwyn Garden City Football Club, Stevenage Borough and trials with East London club Leyton Orient, in hopes of making it in the pro game.
But it wasn’t meant to be.“I was told I went there too
late,” he said. “I should have gone two years earlier.”
Returning to B.C., Mason had an opportunity to join the Vancouver Whitecaps reserves, but declined.
He also turned down an offer to play for UBC, instead joining Delta United in the Fraser Valley Premier League and then some over-30s when he moved to Langley.
Mason had done a bit of work at soccer schools in the summers, but never thought much more of it.
“I enjoyed that, but I was only 17 or 18. I never really thought too much about coaching until the situation with Devon,” he said.
Thus began a long and storied career as a youth soccer coach, and then a few years later, the technical director of the LGSA, which is now Langley FC.
The initial academy program started out on Saturday afternoons on a muddy field at D.W. Poppy Secondary with 60 players. Under his leadership, the program has grown to more than 300 players at new facilities.
His overall goal was to provide players with high quality development opportunities
during their youth careers and beyond, leading to university and professional opportunities.
It was challenging, but rewarding.
“In its heyday, Langley FC had about 1,300 kids in its program,” he said. “It’s like having 2,000 employees, when you include the parents that are involved.
“To keep that many people happy is a challenge,” he admitted. “You never really hear from all the people that are happy, but you instantly hear from anyone who is unhappy.”
But it has been a worthwhile experience.
“Over the years, I’ve served under 10 or so presidents, I’ve had a lot of fun, worked with some great people, coached some fantastic players and made some lifetime friendships during my time in charge,” he said.
Mason decided to step down in order to focus on his business, Visual Systems, a sign company based out of Burnaby.
“I am really just too busy to do a job that requires more attention,” he said.
“The needs of soccer clubs have changed and many clubs require full-time people in charge.
“Running Langley FC is a full-time job and it needs to be run by a full-time guy.”
And despite his children — 22-year-old Devon and Dylan, 19, — being graduated from the youth ranks — Mason will stay involved in some sort of coaching capacity.
•••••Langley FC also announced
some changes to their board of directors.
Daryl Cairns is the club’s new president, while Steve Millar as announced as the vice-president of coaching and Rob Jandric as a new board member.

Add another high profile event which will be coming to Langley.
The B.C. high school track and field championships, which have traditionally been held at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium, will instead be contested at Langley’s McLeod Athletic Park in both 2013 and 2014.
They were held at Swangard from 1975 to 1993, in Coquitlam from 1994 to 1999, and then back at Swangard from 2000 to 2012.
The two-day meet, which features thousands of competitors, will be held May 31 and June 1.
It is just one of many significant track and field events slated for MAP: the Special Olympics B.C. Summer Games run July 11 to 14, the Canadian Legion youth track and field championships are from Aug. 7 to 13,
The Legion championships will also be held at McLeod Park in 2014, as will the B.C. Seniors Games.
“Having invested over $1 million infrastructure improvements in the past five years to support track and field, the Township is pleased to add this significant event to our sport hosting calendar for 2013 and 2014,” said David Leavers, the director of the Township’s recreation, culture and parks division.
“There has been some discussion in recent years about moving the championships,” said Andrew Lenton, the track and field commissioner for B.C. School Sports.
Swangard Stadium has been the long-standing traditional location for the provincial championships, although they have been held in other locales as well.
A major reason for the switch is the condition of the two facilities, with Lenton
admitting the track at Swangard was in poor condition.
By comparison, McLeod Park replaced the artificial track surface prior to the 2008 B.C. Summer Games and work is currently underway to replace the synthetic turf field. It will be completed sometime next month.
While both facilities are roughly the same size, the schedule of events will be easier to navigate at McLeod Park.
“There is more flexibility in scheduling because of a slightly different layout of the
track as well,” Lenton said.
“(At McLeod), the javelin is outside the stadium, which allows us to run it concurrently with many track events,” he explained.
“Whereas in Swangard, the javelin runway cuts directly across the track and the infield is used as a throws area, so we can only run 100 or 200m sprints or hurdles while we run that (event).”
Lenton added that there is discussion about moving the championships around the province for future events.

Shaun Mason had little intention of getting involved with his daughter’s youth soccer team, but circumstances left him no choice.
It was 18 years ago, and Mason’s daughter Devon had signed up with the old Bobby Lenarduzzi soccer camps through the Langley Girls Soccer Association.
“I thought they would have all these wonderful professional coaches,” he admitted.
“I received a call from the club president at the time who informed me there was no coach for my daughter’s team.
“Even though I didn’t really want to coach — because I had two businesses I was running — he told me if I didn’t coach, she might not be able to play, so I really had no choice.”
And Mason has been going strong on the Langley soccer scene ever since.
He continued with the soccer association — which is now called Langley FC (LFC) — as a co-ordinator, then on the executive, as a head coach, and finally as the club’s technical director, a position he held until stepping down last month.
But the fact he has been involved in the game for so long should come as little surprise, considering his bloodlines.
The 51-year-old Mason was born in England and his father played professionally for both Crystal Palace and Queen’s Park Rangers.
“I had no choice (but to play),” he said with a laugh.
The family emigrated to Canada in 1967, when Mason was six, living in Montreal for a few years, before heading west to B.C. and settling in Ladner.
And Mason soon took to the sport, excelling on the pitch, and helping his youth club,
the Dunbar Strongs win six provincial titles and a pair of national titles to boot.
“Fast and skilled,” was how Mason described his game, adding that he very slight as a kid and never
really put on size until he was in his mid-20s.
Mason played on some provincial selects teams in his teenage years but for his senior year, he spent six months in England with Welwyn Garden City Football Club, Stevenage Borough and trials with East London club Leyton Orient, in hopes of making it in the pro game.
But it wasn’t meant to be.“I was told I went there too
late,” he said. “I should have gone two years earlier.”
Returning to B.C., Mason had an opportunity to join the Vancouver Whitecaps reserves, but declined.
He also turned down an offer to play for UBC, instead joining Delta United in the Fraser Valley Premier League and then some over-30s when he moved to Langley.
Mason had done a bit of work at soccer schools in the summers, but never thought much more of it.
“I enjoyed that, but I was only 17 or 18. I never really thought too much about coaching until the situation with Devon,” he said.
Thus began a long and storied career as a youth soccer coach, and then a few years later, the technical director of the LGSA, which is now Langley FC.
The initial academy program started out on Saturday afternoons on a muddy field at D.W. Poppy Secondary with 60 players. Under his leadership, the program has grown to more than 300 players at new facilities.
His overall goal was to provide players with high quality development opportunities
during their youth careers and beyond, leading to university and professional opportunities.
It was challenging, but rewarding.
“In its heyday, Langley FC had about 1,300 kids in its program,” he said. “It’s like having 2,000 employees, when you include the parents that are involved.
“To keep that many people happy is a challenge,” he admitted. “You never really hear from all the people that are happy, but you instantly hear from anyone who is unhappy.”
But it has been a worthwhile experience.
“Over the years, I’ve served under 10 or so presidents, I’ve had a lot of fun, worked with some great people, coached some fantastic players and made some lifetime friendships during my time in charge,” he said.
Mason decided to step down in order to focus on his business, Visual Systems, a sign company based out of Burnaby.
“I am really just too busy to do a job that requires more attention,” he said.
“The needs of soccer clubs have changed and many clubs require full-time people in charge.
“Running Langley FC is a full-time job and it needs to be run by a full-time guy.”
And despite his children — 22-year-old Devon and Dylan, 19, — being graduated from the youth ranks — Mason will stay involved in some sort of coaching capacity.
