MAYOR LOBBIES SURREY TO SPEED UP TRAFFIC LIGHT ON MUNICIPAL BORDER
MARK WARAWA WAS IN CONSERVATIVE PARTY CAUCUS MEETING WHEN SHOOTING STARTED DA N F ERGUSO N Tim e s Re po r t e r
After a gunman opened fire on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Wednesday morning, Langley MP Mark Warawa contacted his office to let his staff know that he is safe. “He’s spoken with us,” a staffer in Warawa’s Ottawa office told The Times. The staffer said Warawa was attending a Conservative party caucus meeting when a lockdown was ordered. Social media images showed politicians barricading doors with chairs and tables. The Langley MP’s office is located in a building across the street from the caucus meeting. The building was also locked down, and staffers were told by police to stay away from windows. Reports from the scene said a reserve soldier from Hamilton standing guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa was shot by a man with a rifle. The soldier was rushed to hospital, where he died. Eyewitnesses said the attack began around 10 a.m. Ottawa time, when a short man with long black hair fired several shots at

One eyewitness said he saw a man running with a double-barrelled shotgun, wearing a scarf and blue jeans, who hopped over the stone fence that surrounds Parliament Hill, forced someone out of a car, and drove to the front doors of Parliament. Several witnesses reported hearing a number of gunshots inside. The gunman was shot dead by Parliament’s sergeant-at-arms. Continued Page 4

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese has made a direct appeal to his Surrey counterpart to add a traffic light to an accident-prone stretch of 72 Avenue, where it crosses the border between the Township and its neighbour. The Township has the money to build a traffic light at 196 Street and 72 Avenue, but can’t proceed until a design consultant hired by the city of Surrey finishes work. In his Oct. 1 letter to Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, released to The Times on Tuesday, Froese said the planned improvements to the intersection are scheduled to begin in early 2015, but residents feel upgrades are required sooner. “ … we are requesting that you direct your staff to try and expedite the works to en-

Local charity joins fight against Ebola M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r
A Langley-based charity that brings health care to West Africa is helping in the Ebola crisis. The Korle-Bu Neuroscience Foundation (KBNF) is hoping to ship 1,000 hospital beds that are desperately needed in the Ebola Intervention Units in Liberia. KBNF founder Marj Ratel is hoping local residents want to help. “We’ve all been watching in horror as the Ebola crisis unfolds and this is something Langley can do to help to give the people in West Africa hope,” said Ratel. “This is tangible and the beds will have names on them indicating they came from Canada. It will show that the people suffering that we cared.” Ratel has been in constant contact with medical professionals in various parts of West Africa, including with Dr. Francis Kateh, who has been appointed national incident manager of the Ebola response. “Dr. Kateh shares that in one Liberian county alone, 22 of the 29 health care workers had died,” she said. Nurses and doctors are treating very sick Ebola patients on mattresses set up on the floor. The situation is difficult and units are overwhelmed. As a nurse herself at Vancouver General Hospital for many years, Ratel said she can’t imagine having to care for patients who are violently ill while on the floor. “I can’t imagine spending hours bending over or treating patients on my hands and knees,” she said. The heat is unbearable right now too, she said. Doctors are having to go outside and take off all their protective wear every 40 minutes

So far KBNF has collected 80 beds from Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, 20 from Victoria, Kamloops has donated 20 and Saskatchewan has 100 available to go. K-Bro has donated 13 pallets of linen. They are still collecting hospital pillows and other
hospital equipment and will fill in the container’s gaps with much needed summer clothing for residents there who have “nothing.” “If we could get the funding we have three containers that could go out today,” said Ratel.
For 1,000 hospital beds, it would take 18 containers. At around $5,000 a container, they are hoping to collect funds from local residents. KBNF has partnered with Compassionate Warehouse in Victoria and Diamond Delivery in locating and transporting hospital beds and medical supplies to a Victoria loading site in preparation for departure to Liberia. Seaspan is donating barge fees during this current crisis. KBNF has successfully transported 23 containers to West Africa over the past 14 years. Ratel has personally met numerous containers, most recently in the spring just before the Ebola outbreak. Since Ebola, there are no elective surgeries being done in hard hit areas. “The resources are stretched so thin. People are dying of other things now. If someone’s appendix burst, he or she could die. People can’t get help with malaria right now.” A group of young men with disabilities from Walnut Grove recently learned of the foundation and the work being done and decided to raise money. Stephen, Jared and Vernon arranged a barbecue fundraiser Sept 29. Ratel, and Dr. Jocelyne Lapointe, KBNF secretary, joined with the enthusiastic members and their families and friends. A total of $515 was raised. KBNF is partnering with team members in Ghana to build an emergency and clinical specialties centre that will be something akin to the health systems we take for granted here. If you would like to help with the Ebola crisis, donations can be made online at www. kbnf.org or by mail at 9131 207B Street, Langley, V1M 2P5.

City council considers saying ‘I do’ to wedding proposal BR EN D A AND E R SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r
A formal request that the City allow small wedding ceremonies to be held at McBurney Plaza was met with enthusiasm by members of Langley City council on Monday night. Despite supporting the idea, however, some councillors wanted a bit more information from staff before they’d be willing to say “I do” to the proposal. Matt Creechan, a 20-year resident of the City who plans to be married soon, made his case at Monday night’s council meeting
for the addition of the newly refurbished downtown square to the list of permitted wedding venues in the municipality. The City allows similar events at Sendall Gardens, he noted, adding McBurney could be subject to the same terms and conditions. Rules surrounding security, noise restrictions, maximum numbers of guests and chairs, limits to decorations and the days and times the space would be available, could all be written into a contract, Creechan suggested. If wedding parties were not permitted to offer guests food or
drinks, it might boost business for area restaurants and coffee shops, he said. He also pointed to the potential overall benefit to local businesses from an influx of people who might not otherwise visit. “When I read this I thought it was a fabulous idea, with a lot of benefit to the downtown core,” said Councillor Gayle Martin. However, shortage of parking is the one potential problem Martin sees in the plan. “I’m not saying it can’t be overcome. “Let’s give this to recreation staff
to report back and see what could be worked out.” “The only thing I can see being a detriment is the parking,” agreed Councillor Teri James. “This would be something that would benefit people who are interested (in using the location) and businesses.” “You’d never be short of witnesses,” remarked Councillor Dave Hall. “We’d have to find a way to accommodate those who use (the plaza) regularly as a go-between and a place to sit.” “Are we competing with our-

selves?” asked Hall, noting that offering McBurney as a wedding location might take away business from Sendall Gardens. But Martin pointed out that having two venues available would be a good thing. If one is booked, the other might be available, she said. “It’s a win-win.” “It’s an awesome idea,” said Councillor Rosemary Wallace. “I love the idea that residents of the City take pride and want to have their wedding here.” Council voted unanimously to pass the issue along to staff for a report.

Township council voted in September to lobby Surrey to speed up work on the intersection.

Plans call for widening of 72 Avenue between 196 Street and 200 Street to four lanes, including left turn lanes and bicycle lanes.

separate them. A recent collision claimed the life of an 83-year-old man on Sept. 4. He was hit by a car. Gary Hee, who lives near the intersection, launched a petition to improve traffic safety along 72 Avenue last year after a young boy was hit while rollerblading and a 19-year-old woman was struck in a hitand-run crash and left lying in a ditch.
NDP MP Craig Scott posted a Twitter message that said “MPs and Hill staff owe their safety, even lives, to Sgt. at Arms Kevin Vickers who shot attacker just outside the MPs’ caucus rooms.” There were reports there may have been more than one gunman. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau were all removed from the scene by police and taken to undisclosed safe locations, reports said. Heavily armed soldiers could be seen on the
streets of Ottawa. In B.C., security was tightened at the provincial legislature in Victoria, with extra guards on duty, but no lockdown. Transit Police in Metro Vancouver announced they would implement “extra security precautions to maintain the safety of transit.” The Ottawa shooting of a Canadian Armed Forces member came the same week as a hit-and-run attack that killed one soldier and injured another in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, on Monday. The man driving the car, Martin Rouleau-Couture, a self-professed convert to radical Islam, was shot and killed by police after a car chase.

Residents want 56 Avenue changes undone PETITION SAYS INTERSECTION IS NOW UNSAFE FOR ALL DA N FERGU SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r
Changes to the intersection of the two 56 Avenues near 246 Street are unsafe and it should be returned to it original configuration, local residents say. The demand was made in a 63-signature petition to Township council. “We, the residents of Langley in the area of 56 Ave. and 56 Ave. feel the changes to the intersection are unsafe and want them changed back to the original access,” the petition says. In September, crews rebuilt the intersection of the two 56 Avenues near 246 Street, changing it from a “V” into a “T” shape. That eliminated a straight-line east-to-west connection. “The access should be straight through heading east and heading west,” the petition said. “The left turn heading east needs to be further up to see the traffic coming from the east,” the petition added. It also called for changes to make the intersection easier for emergency vehicles and pedestrians to safely navigate. At Monday’s council meeting, Engineering and Community Development manager Ramin Seifi said the intersection is being redone by the private company that did the work to address a number of deficiencies, Seifi said staff are “comfortable” that the changes will address the “challenge” of the topography where the two avenues separate and meet again. RAMIN The work will be carried out SEIFI “in a matter of weeks,” Seifi said. At a previous council meeting, he said the changes would correct the “steepness” of the altered intersection and improve sight lines, but it will remain a “T” shape. The changes to the crossing, where 56 Avenue is split into two identically-named roads as it crosses a tributary of the Salmon River, were funded by the developer of the nearby former Tuscan Farm Gardens site, Lavender Hills Holdings. The builder agreed to make improvements to 56 and 56 as part of its plan to build 65 houses on the southern 32 acres of the 80-acre site at 24453 60 Ave. The project was approved by Langley Township council in May of 2013, following an April 2011 decision by the Agricultural Land Commission to allow the subdivision of the former commercial lavender and echinacea grower.

A former Walnut Grove Secondary student who experienced homophobic bullying is urging the board of education and the school district to make it more safe for LGBTQ students. Erik Denison, who graduated from Langley Fine Arts School in 1996, was shocked and saddened after hearing about an Aldergrove Secondary teacher taping an “I’m Gay� sign to the back of an unsuspecting student last September. The teacher stood by while students laughed at the boy and took pictures. The teacher was disciplined by the district and suspended without pay by the teachers’ regulation branch for one month. (He ended up taking a teaching job in Alberta instead.) “It saddens me greatly that this kind of culture continues and that students still think homophobia is funny. I have talked with younger people in Walnut Grove and they say gay people are still bullied,� said Denison, a former award-winning reporter who worked for the CBC before moving to Australia. His experiences in Langley schools, which included dropping out of sports because of harassment, has recently led him to create the first worldwide study to look at how prevalent homophobia is in sports and how it impacts young people from getting involved. Already more than 5,000 people have filled out the survey at outonthefield.com. The research has the support of six prestigious universities. “I went to Walnut Grove Secondary and experienced many of the same things that the kid at Aldergrove did. The homophobia drove me to go to Langley Fine Arts where I didn’t have to fear for my safety every day and teachers took homophobia seriously,� he said. The main area where he experienced homophobia was around sports and PE class, at Walnut Grove. Though his social studies teacher was also ‘pretty brutal,’ he said. “PE class is such a closed environment and you have

Charleston changed to condo project BR EN D A AN D E R SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r
Much like the dance for which it was named, the proposed Charleston building in Langley City has fallen out of favour. On Monday night it became official — the City’s first proposed highrise condominium project, announced with great fanfare two and one-half years ago, will not happen. Instead, City council has approved a new development permit for a five-storey, wood-frame condominium complex on the property, located at the corner of 203 Street and Industrial Avenue. Unlike the Charleston, the new design does not include commercial space, nor will it incorporate a Roaring ’20s design. Accompanied by project owner-developer Walter Fritz, Wes Friesen of Points West Architecture presented council with highlights of the new building’s “West Coast” design. The building’s 78 units, some of which will include vaulted ceilings, will range in size from 600 square feet to 1,600 square feet, with the largest located on the fifth or ‘penthouse’ floor, Friesen explained, adding they will be accessed by one high-speed elevator. In response to a question from Councillor Dave Hall about whether a second elevator had been considered, Friesen said that would normally only be the case in a building with more than 80 units. In addition to using up salable floor space, a second elevator would cost an additional $100,000, he explained. Because the number of units is at the high end for one elevator, however, the decision was made to install a high-speed lift. Although more expensive than a regular elevator, it represented a compromise, Friesen said. Hall also noted that at five storeys, the wood frame building will be safer than many existing structures, because it will be required to have sprinklers in the attic space and on balconies, in addition to inside the units and public areas.
At the same time, he expressed disappointment that the design does not include an allowance for commercial space. Unveiled in front of a large crowd at City Hall in April 2012, the Charleston, a 15-storey building which featured a 1920s art deco design, was scheduled to be complete sometime in 2015. The bottom six floors were to include space for office and retail, with an additional nine-storey tower of residential units rising above a roof garden. However, following the announcement, the lot which had been home to a nightclub, sat empty and untouched for months after the bar closed. The building was finally demolished in July. In November 2013, after a long period of time had passed with no visible progress on the site, The Times asked then-developer David Phan what was holding up the project. He cited the proposed relocation of the City’s bus loop — possibly to property on the east side of 203 Street — and the potential effect the resulting new traffic patterns would have on the Charleston’s property line, as the reason for the delay. On Monday, soil conditions — specifically, the prohibitive cost of driving piles through clay far enough to reach bedrock to support the structure — were blamed.

Tuscan Farm homes reason for traffic changes at 56 Ave. From Page 5
D AN F E RGUSON L an gley Tim es
Looks of awe greeted the announcement that a gigantic squash weighed 722 pounds. The massive gourd, which took first in its category, was grown by Brookswood resident Kate Mumford, who used a horse trailer to get it to Aldor Acres farm for the Saturday (Oct. 11) weigh-in.
At the Township public hearing on the proposal, opponents of the Tuscan project complained it was another case of building high-density housing on protected agricultural land. Those in support argued the project actually increased the amount of farmland in Langley because the developer intended to restore the northern 48 acres to make them suitable for agriculture. Those against talked about the impact of the project on local wells, sewage and traffic, while those who wanted to build it said water would be piped in and a sewage treatment plant would prevent contamination of ground water.
Ask Don & Kevin Today’s topic is: Valuations
Q: How do I know how much my company is worth? How can I increase its value? A: We are often asked this question when business owners consider selling their company. Value is driven by two factors: the quantity and the quality of your cash flow. The quantity of your cash flow is easy to figure out: how much cash flow do you generate from your business? This number will be a function of how fast you’re growing, how strong your competitive position is, how fast your underlying market is growing, and how much capital re-investment you require in order to grow. All these factors will dictate how comfortable a potential buyer would be with the quantity of cash flow your business generates. The other factor is the quality of cash flow. For example, cash flow that’s generated from a 10-year government contract would be strong quality cash flow with high visibility –meaning it is easier to predict how much revenue will be earned in the future. On the other hand, cash flow generated by a construction business, usually project based, may have less visibility because future revenue is less certain. To help clients get a better handle on the value of their company, we can also do a notional valuation. To do this, we determine a theoretical value for your company by looking at comparable companies in the market. For example, we can look at what public companies

in your industry may be trading at, or the value companies in your industry have been purchased for. When it comes to increasing the overall value of your company, it’s about increasing the quantity of your cash flow – with new contracts, new territories, expansion initiatives, new products and services. Likewise, you can increase the quality of your cash flow by formalizing relationships, securing long-term contracts, building your management team or pursuing initiatives that bolster/secure your competitive position. Once you have increased your company’s value, the next question might be: now that I’ve built value, how do I realize it? To realize the maximum value for a business, it’s essential to properly plan from a strategic, operational, tax, and overall housekeeping perspective prior to a sale. Secondly, it’s important to market the business correctly and create competitive tension by talking to more than one party. Thirdly, it’s about running and negotiating a competitive process that will create the highest value. It’s important to note it can be tricky to get a true sense of a company’s worth. The reality is: value is in the eye of the beholder. If you have a company that is the right fit, a buyer will pay a premium for your business. Don Matthew and Kevin Mickelby, KPMG Partners

Question langeytimes.com
An attack Wednesday morning on a Canadian Forces soldier at the National War Memorial, and the subsequent entry by the shooter into the nearby Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, is deeply troubling. One shooter has been shot dead by police and security forces inside the Parliament Buildings. The soldier also died. There are many reports of multiple shots inside the buildings, and Parliament was shut down for the day. The shooting came as MPs were gathering for caucus meetings, and apparently took place very close to their caucus meeting rooms. There may have been more than one shooter. Police on Wednesday morning were busy securing the perimeter and determining if there were more people involved. This incident comes just two days after a young man named Martin Rouleau, whom the federal government and RCMP say was “radicalized,” lay in wait for military personnel at St. Jean-sur-Richelieu, outside Montreal, and deliberately ran one of them down. One soldier later died, and the shooter himself was shot dead, after leading police on a chase and then refusing to put down a knife, when he emerged from his car after it crashed. Both incidents may be related to the Canadian decision to send six warplanes against ISIS, the radical group which is holding a portion of Iraq and Syria and taunting western governments. The Canadian Forces decided to shut down a number of bases on Wednesday after the second incident and is warning military personnel to take extra precautions. While they are in uniform, they are an obvious target. The Quebec incident shows the danger which lurks within Canada, due to the recruiting of young and vulnerable people by ISIS and other like-minded groups. In the case of Rouleau, the RCMP had been in touch with him due to postings he had made on the internet. All of this is almost incomprehensible. In some ways, this resembles the terrorist-like actions of the Front de Liberation du Quebec in October, 1970, when it took two hostages and killed one of them, Quebec cabinet ministeer Pierre Laporte. That led to the “October Crisis” and imposition of the War Measures Act. Is this a repeat?

Do the city and RCMP have a good handle on crime issues in Langley City?
Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
More voters needed they
With civic elections approaching, people in the community are beginning to complain about ‘frivolous’ political candidates. But in a democracy, just like the right not to vote, everyone has the right to run for public office, as long as they get the required number of nominators and can pay the fees. There is no criteria for qualifications. Who gets the job is up to voters. Trouble is, there are too few of those. Just 25 per cent of eligible voters in Maple Ridge cast ballots in the 2011 municipal election. About 30 per cent voted in Pitt Meadows. For some, that’s not enough, raising concerns about who will be running the city. That’s a good question. Is it someone who supports the business community? Someone who is backed by unions or developers? Someone running on neighbourhood or environmental issues? What matters to you? In Maple Ridge, there are 26 candidates for six council seats and five more for mayor. Then there are 12 candidates for five Maple Ridge spots on the school board. That is a lot of reading. Fortunately, there are plenty of opportunities to get to know the candidates — newspapers, websites, social media and public meetings are just a few forums. You have until Nov. 15 to get acquainted. The list of candidates in on the municipal websites. Provincial and federal elections get 60 to 70 per cent voter turnout. It doesn’t seem a lofty goal to get at least half the voters in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to turn out for the municipal elections. It is your tax dollars they are spending. — Maple Ridge News

Euthanasia is not the answer Editor: I am disturbed that so many people, young and old, feel it acceptable to end their life with the help of a professional and call it dying with dignity. Twenty years ago a column appeared in a major newspaper that bore the headline, “If seniors had their way, euthanasia would be law.” I quote from that column: “There isn’t a senior alive today who doesn’t worry about ending up with some form of dementia, about whether or not their money will last as long as they do, or visualizing writing the final chapter of their lives drooling in a wheelchair in an impersonal nursing home.” I now quote (with a few minor changes) from the letter I wrote in rebuttal and which was published in The Times in January, 1995. I feel the same way today. “As a senior I do not worry about any of these things. What I do worry about is people who advocate legislation making euthanasia law. If I reach any of the stages of debilitation mentioned, I will still be a human being, capable of giving and receiving love and, I hope, still precious to someone. “If I live to an advanced age (family history suggests I might), will I one day catch my loved ones in an unguarded moment, with a look of weariness or impatience in their eyes? If the law says I have the legal right to end my life, will I feel I
have to do it for their sake? “My mother lived into her 96th year. Her mind was clear to the end, but she was bedridden during the last few weeks of her life. Did she see (oh God, I pray not), the fatigue and weariness on my face at times? As stressed as I was, I could not live with myself if I thought she had ever contemplated taking her own life for my sake. As many times as I had to turn away to hide my tears, I still considered it a privilege to have been given the opportunity to care for an aged parent. “And who has ever decreed that we are to have no trials or adversity in life? I do not agree with prolonging life by artificial means. But there is a vast difference between withholding life support and promoting assisted suicide. “We do not have the right to end a life, not even our own. God gave us life, and only He has the right to decide when it ends. Everyone is here for a purpose and perhaps, in some cases, that purpose is not fulfilled until the last breath is drawn. “To this senior, dying with dignity means dying with the grace to accept the circumstances and the time that a higher power than myself has decreed that I will.” DORIS RIEDWEG, LANGLEY
Pool challenge issued CANDIDATE ANSWERS WANTED Editor: I am writing this to you as a very concerned Aldergrove resident. With the current election campaign underway, and the next term being four and not three years, I am concerned that even the longer term will not produce the longpromised pool for Aldergrove. As I am personally weighing my decision on whom to vote for, I am asking members of the community and newspapers to please pose the following question to the candidates publicly: “Will you make the completion of the Aldergrove
Pool and Recreation Centre a top priority during your term as a councillor? Yes or No?” I will also be asking them this question, but I believe that I and other Aldergrove residents need to see the answers in print and publicly. We have been waiting long enough for this pool and my vote will only go to those that will finally stand up publicly and promise to make this happen during the next term in office.

Derek Condon has added a row of “cannon” to his Halloween pirate ship, which his family has set up annually in the front yard of their home at 8393 209A St., as well as more skeletal sailors and other new features. Donations this year will be directed to the Canuck Place children’s hospice.
Pirate ship bonds community Editor: This is how a pirate ship bonds a community. We are truly blessed to have such amazing friends and citizens as Tammy, Derek, Alex and Erika, who live in Willoughby. Since May, they have been tirelessly planning and working on their Halloween pirate ship display. For several weeks now, we have witnessed firsthand the countless people who stop by to snap pictures, take videos and share this display with their friends and families. Cars continuously slow down with passengers hanging out the windows on their smartphones. Elementary classes make field trips to the ship and seniors’ buses have been making routine stops for a visit. As kids walk past after school, Tammy has sometimes had fresh-baked treats to hand out to the youngsters who are awe-inspired to dress as a pirate this Halloween. Some folks have driven from as far as Chilliwack and Vancouver, just to visit the display, and it is not officially ready until Sunday, Oct. 26. Their efforts have created a symbol of pride within the community that is undeniable. The display has become a focal point within Langley for people to gather and meet. It has sparked conversations with neighbours who previously never knew one another; and it has put smiles on the faces of thousands of people young and old. From morning until night, you will find the family entertaining visitors and answering their
many questions about the ship, props and how everything was built. At a time where most people claim to be “too busy,” this family sacrifices hundreds of hours, evenings and weekends to see this project through. With the parents both working full-time, their generosity is inspiring to us and to many others. We also recognize that this project would not be possible without the numerous friends and businesses who have also volunteered time, supplies and materials to help out with the display. Contributions like these also instil a great sense of pride for the donor. In 2013, it was estimated that at least a couple of thousand people visited the Halloween display. Many would ask, “Who are you raising funds for?” The simple answer was “No one.” They simply did it for the enjoyment it provided for everyone who experienced it. After repeatedly been asked these questions, it made sense to bring on a charity in 2014. They have proudly partnered with Canuck Place children’s hospice. You can follow the project, view pictures and get further details on Facebook at “Pirates For Canuck Place.” Recently, a donation bin has been added to the front of the Pirate Ship display. It is an honour to share their story and we hope that you too will be inspired to share it as well. DONNA AND RANDY CHIN, LANGLEY
Tailgaters challenged: What are they trying to prove? WHEN EVERYONE IS OVER THE SPEED LIMIT, WHAT’S PURPOSE OF SUCH ACTIVITY? Editor: As I drive around the Lower Mainland, I find more and more, the tendency of a lot of motorists to engage in the practise of “tailgating.” It seems that no matter what the speed limit, nor the speed at which a large number of vehicles are travelling, someone always needs to cling to a rear bumper, in a dangerous and illegal way.
Is it a means of somehow forcing the driver to go faster? Is it a means of forcing the driver to give way, somehow, pulling off the road to make way for the offending driver? To the lady in the black Chevy SUV on Tuesday, Sept. 30 at 4:15 p.m., eastbound on 16 Avenue: Did you really believe that tailgating me for miles on end would
somehow change your situation? Come on. There were perhaps 100 cars ahead, all going above the posted 60 km/h speed limit, yet you chose to stick to my rear bumper, in spite of my four attempts to get you to back off. Believe me, when I can’t see your headlights, you’re too close. I finally could take it no more, so I turned off at 240 Street, only
to see you speed up and perform the same game on the red pickup that was ahead of me. It’s stressful for all concerned. Is it your sense of entitlement, or are you just a bully? I really would like to know what motivates tailgaters. WAYNE BOYLAN, ALDERGROVE

“Hands up.” That famous command is attributed to Bill Miner, an American career criminal who is also credited with B.C.’s first train robbery, at Silverdale on the Mission-Maple Ridge border in 1904. A more genteel, and of course perfectly legal, trackside transfer of wealth is underway in the B.C. legislature. It’s called the Canadian Pacific Railway (Stone and Timber) Settlement Act, and it provides for taxpayers to hand over $19 million to CP Rail to settle a lawsuit over historic logging, rock and gravel rights given to B.C.’s pioneering railway builders. Students of B.C. history will know that while Bill Miner got the headlines, it was the early coal, lumber and railway barons who really made out like bandits. And CP Rail inherited some of this by 1912 when it took over three early railways that had been granted vast tracts of provincial Crown land. Deputy Premier Rich Coleman revealed the settlement in the legislature this month. It seems that when CP Rail took over the B.C. Southern Railway Company, the Columbia and Kootenay Railway and Navigation Company and the Columbia and Western Railway Company, there were some clerical errors along the way. “I am pleased that Canadian Pacific Railway and the province have recently reached an agreement regarding the dis-

Langley’s oldest citizen passes away at 106 FORMER ENGINEER BILL KENT DIED EIGHT DAYS BEFORE TURNING 107 MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r
Just eight days shy of his 107th birthday, Langley’s oldest person, Bill Kent, passed away on Saturday, Oct. 11. Kent has spent the last 30 or more years calling Langley home. He was a regular visitor and supporter of Langley’s You’ve Gotta Have Friends group. His proudest accomplishment was working as an engineer to help build the Lions Gate Bridge. He graduated
with an engineering degree from the University of Alberta in 1931. Kent was featured in last year’s Times publication “Our Langley Our People.” He was asked why he thinks he has lived so long. His reply was that he didn’t smoke. “Smokes cost 10 cents back then and I couldn’t afford it.” His family, including his three children, seven grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren, will hold a private service in his memory.
Are focus and memory a concern? It could be time to start feeding your brain with natural supplements to boost your cognitive abilities. Factors such as stress, age, and diet can affect cognitive function. Just like the rest of your body, your brain also needs certain nutrients to maintain and restore its cells. Come in and talk to our staff about these products. Omega-3 Oils Omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA (found in fish oils), plays a critical role in brain cell membrane health, which in turn improves the nerves’ electrical impulses or communication with each other, and therefore boosts overall cognitive ability.
Phosphatidylserine Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a natural nutrient found in the brain. PS is the major phospholipid in the brain where it plays a role in determining the integrity and fluidity of cell membranes. Healthy cell membranes support healthy brain functions such as memory, focus, and clarity.

Scott Nichols, long-time resident and grandson of Langley Township’s first Freeman and former reeve (mayor) Noel Booth, has decided to seek a councillor position on Langley Township council. He is opposed to the proposed revision of the Brookswood Official Community Plan, the erosion of the ALR, and a 44 per cent ($20 million) increase in the Township’s net debt from 2012 to 2013. The debt is shown as being more than $63 million in the Township’s 2013 annual report. Nichols says all these issues spurred him into action. “Poor fiscal management and density will burden the taxpayers of the Township for years to come,” he says. Nichols is concerned that the

Candidates to meet with seniors Two all-candidates meetings with a difference will be held at the Langley Seniors Resource Centre, 20605 51B Ave. The meeting for for Langley Township candidates takes place on Monday, Nov. 3, from 1 to 3 p.m. Langley City candidates will meet on Wednesday, Nov. 5, from 1 to 3 p.m. Both meetings will focus on seniors’ issues. Unlike most meetings, neither will involve a formal debate or questions and answers in front of the audience. Rather, each candidate who attends will be asked to introduce themselves and present a few details about their platform. Then they will be able to engage with seniors who are seated at tables. “Depending on the number of candidates participating and the number of seniors in attendance, our plan is for one
or two candidates at a time to meet with seniors at each table to answer pre-prepared or spontaneous questions before moving to the next table to engage with a different group of seniors,” says organizer Marilyn Fischer. About 60 per cent of the members of Langley Seniors Resource Centre reside in the Township, and it was felt that separate meetings for each jurisdiction would be valuable for seniors. Triple A Senior Housing, which recently held a successful forum on seniors’ housing issues, is sponsoring the two meetings, along with co-sponsors Langley Senior Resources Society, Brookswood Senior Citizens, CARP - Chapter 48, Langley Seniors Community Action Table, Stepping Stone Community Services and Meals on Wheels. The organizers are also inviting all
candidates to provide a written response of 300 words or less listing their selection of two or three specific items which they consider warrant priority attention in the Township (or City) and to suggest a course of action. The specific items should be chosen from the World Health Organization checklist of the eight essential features of Age-Friendly Community, which can be found at http:// www.who.int/ageing/publications/Age_ friendly_cities_checklist.pdf. The responses will be put together as a handout to seniors attending the all-candidates meetings, thus providing an opportunity for candidates who may not be able to participate to relay their views to seniors. To allow time for collating and printing, submissions must be received on or before Oct. 28 at tripleaseniorhousing@gmail.com.
Township all-candidates meeting Tuesday The last of three all-candidates meetings sponsored by Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce and Fraser Valley Real Estate Board takes place on Tuesday, Oct. 28.
It is for the candidates for mayor and councillor in Langley Township. There are 25 candidates in total. The meeting is open to the public, and runs from 7 to 9 p.m.
It will be held at Langley Events Centre, 7888 200 St. Meetings for Langley City candidates, and a separate forum for mayoral candidates, have already taken place.

Community Justice Initiatives Association is hosting its annual fundraising gala Friday, Nov. 7 at Newlands Golf and Country Club at 6 p.m. This year’s event includes a buffet dinner, silent auction, and a story of tremendous courage, inspiration and transcendence. Katy Hutchison will be speaking about how she waited five agonizing years after the
murder of her husband Bob in Squamish for the person responsible to be arrested. Not long after the young men responsible for Bob’s death had been sentenced to prison terms, Hutchison, a mother of twins, discovered Community Justice Initiatives (CJI). She and was able to organize a victim-offender mediation session, between the man who murdered her husband and her. That is just one of the
programs developed at CJI. They put out the Little Black Book for youth — an easy resource guide for area teens. CJI also is the founding group to bring restorative action program in Langley schools, involving student mentors. Tickets to the gala are $30. They can be purchased online at cjibc. org or call 604-5345515.

Fraser Valley mayors talk seniors housing, transit JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s
Housing and transit issues dominated a forum of Fraser Valley mayors organized by the Urban Development Institute Wednesday ( Oct. 8) in Langley. The panel discussion featured eight mayors from Surrey to Chilliwack — most of them running for re-election — and was moderated by Vancouver real estate consultant Michael Geller. Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman said neighbourhood design needs to take into account the growing numbers of seniors who are used to driving their cars but may be vulnerable to suddenly losing their licence. “The loss of that independence can literally train wreck them,” Banman said. “Their life as they know it can change in a heartbeat.” Developers can help by finding ways to provide
housing seniors want within walking distance of the shopping and services they need, he added. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz also urged developers to design senior-friendly housing that fits into complete, walkable neighbourhoods. “I think we have to get past the idea of these gated communities — I can’t stand them,” Gaetz said. “It really isolates people from each other and lets them live in an artificial world. “That may feel more secure to them. But a healthy community has integrated races, people and ages.” Mayors were repeatedly asked how cities can make housing more affordable in the Lower Mainland. Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese said many Fraser Valley communities — including his — need to find ways to get more rental homes on the market. “Not everybody wants to

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz speaks at the Urban Development Institute’s 2014 panel of Fraser Valley mayors on Oct. 8 at the Langley Events Centre. own a house,” he said. The audience included many major development and home construction firms. Froese said developers want to build as efficiently and profitably as possible, but noted municipalities must plan carefully with
an eye to the future. Future residential development in Langley’s Brookswood area will be controversial, he said, but called it a logical fit with development just to the west in Surrey, where the Campbell Heights industrial park is increasingly a
magnet for jobs. Geller said he’s “astounded” at the number of young people in the region who don’t have driver’s licences or opt for car co-op services instead of owning their own vehicle, in part to save money for a home. But Banman said it makes no sense to reduce parking requirements, particularly in single-family residential neighbourhoods, until adequate transit is available. Providing high-quality transit in the Lower Mainland shouldn’t be that hard, he said, compared to other metropolitan areas that sprawl in all directions. “We basically go east and west,” Banman said. “Don’t tell me we can’t figure out how to move people east and west in a 100-mile corridor.” Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, who is leaving civic politics to run as a federal Conservative, said attempts to densify sin-
gle-family neighbourhoods with narrower streets and tighter homes can backfire, pointing to the failed “experiment” in Surrey’s Clayton neighbourhood. “It is an absolute disaster because everybody relies on a car.” Watts then slammed the provincial government for continuing to suggest Metro Vancouver mayors raise TransLink property taxes to fund a critical transit expansion, rather than put proposed new sources of revenue to a Metro referendum. “That’s the way this provincial government wants to go,” Watts said, admitting she’s frustrated. “They want it on property tax. We’ve been doing this for seven years. “Now there’s a referendum. They’re still not moving on the referendum. They said we need to take the lead on their initiative. And we’re back to square one.”

Langley’s Country Club looks to pull off Comedy Coup COMEDY TRIO NEEDS VOTER SUPPORT TO MOVE ON TO N EXT PHASE OF CBC CONTEST BR EN D A AN D E R SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r
Bursts of laughter regularly punctuate the conversation around the small table in the room where Brock Pennie, Caileigh Anderson and Lara Deglan are seated, chatting casually. The three Langley comedians are celebrating the fact they have just made the cut for the next phase of competition in CBC’s Comedy Coup and figuring out how to drum up enough support to carry them through to the next phase. Their group, called The Country Club, is one of 30 B.C. entries still standing after the field for the national online competition was narrowed from nearly 300 hopefuls to the top 110 last week. The vast majority of those 30 are from Vancouver, while Anderson, Pennie and Deglan make up the only group representing Langley. After this round of voting, which finishes on Sunday, Oct. 26, the top 55 groups will move on, and the Langley comedians
are hoping for a little help from the public to get them there. Although they don’t know exactly where they placed in the last round — that information isn’t made available to competitors — the group likes their chances. “Our strength is we have differing senses of humour,” said Pennie, 25, who met Deglan, 24, in high school and was introduced to her childhood friend, Anderson, 25, just over a year ago. Even before they knew about the CBC contest, the three had decided to collaborate on a web series about the antics of a group of employees at a golf course, who have suddenly been promoted beyond their abilities after almost every member of senior management at the club is hired away by a competitor. In the series, also called The Country Club, Pennie plays the golf course owner’s son, whom he describes as having a misplaced sense of self confidence. He’s not a dumb guy, but he’s a slacker.” Anderson’s character, Raquel,

she is. Because she’s played by me, she’s a bigger woman, but it’s never addressed,” Deglan added. “She’s just the best wedding planner in town.” Anderson and Deglan have known each other since they were five years old. Deglan went to high school with Pennie, and introduced her two friends to one another just over a year ago. While the trio was taking turns writing webisodes — they’ve completed seven so far — they learned about the CBC competition. It seemed like a natural fit — the rules were practically written with them in mind. Three of them? Check. Canadian? As a matter of fact, yes. Funny? Obviously. The hook was that they had only 10 days to get their act together before the contest closed. Luckily, they realized, their project fit the contest parameters perfectly.

The trio’s web series is set at a fictional golf course in “beautiful Stanston, British Columbia” — essentially, a fictionalized version of Langley, they say. Filming is done at Newlands, where Anderson, who studied marketing and design at UFV, has worked, “my whole life.” It was a series of stories begging to be told, she said. “The stuff that happens at a golf course — I’ve seen ridiculous things.”
Pennie, an SFU international studies alumnus, has also spent more than his share of time on the links. Deglan, meanwhile, found her dramatic side studying theatre at UBC, where she and a friend produced a series of comedy shorts called Baseball Men, Football Men and Volleyball Men. Ostensibly, a series of sports interviews, it’s really just the two women hitting on the male athletes in creative ways, chuckled Deglan. Since beginning their current project,
Anderson, Deglan and Pennie have taken turns writing. At first, it’s obvious who penned each episode, they say. But once they have a draft, they work on it together to make it flow and give the series a consistent voice. The first episodes can be viewed at comedycoup.cbc.ca. Viewers can also cast votes on the CBC page. The Langley trio has also set up a Facebook page at Facebook.com/thecountryclub where readers can also find contest details.
The Langley comedy troupe is hoping to garner plenty of support from local audiences as they make a bid to be among a minimum of five projects that ComedyCoup will option for development. According to the CBC website, one project will be greenlit for $500,000 production financing to create a half-hour comedy special which will air in the fall of 2015. “It’s tough,” said Deglan, “because we’re up against established comics with 500 (Facebook) followers. We’re doing really well for a small town.”

GVHBA prepares for annual Coats for Kids campaign The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) is preparing for its 19th-annual Coats for Kids campaign in support of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, a group whose many initiatives help to provide a brighter Christmas for families in need. “Last year the response to Coats for Kids was heartwarming as Lower Mainland residents donated more than 3,000 coats, scarves, gloves, blankets and new unwrapped toys and gifts for distribution to children, teenagers and adults,” says GVHBA
CEO Bob de Wit. “Coats for Kids has become an institution of the association. We already have members calling to sign up,” says de Wit. “Our members help to ensure we collect quality, gently used pieces of clothing, with all the buttons buttoning and zippers zipping.” “This year we are putting out a special request for hoodies, making sure that not-so-easy demographic is covered. It is so important to reach out and help families in our communities who are in need, especially during this time of the year.”
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
In addition to the GVHBA office, member companies at locations throughout Lower Mainland municipalities, including several Black Press community papers, will serve as coat drop-off sites from November 24 to December 4. Take the opportunity now to clean out, wash and pack up those items no longer being used. For more information about the Coats for Kids campaign and a list of participating companies and locations, check out your local Black Press community paper or www.gvhba.org starting in November.

Porte Development’s Verve features three buildings and a variety of home types. Among the features are full-size stainless steel appliances and laminate flooring. Residents will have access to multiple amenities, including a fireside lounge with flat-screen TV and games rooms.
Maximum value at The Maxx @ Verve By Kerry Vital
Porte Development’s Verve recently welcomed its newest addition: The Maxx @ Verve. The third and final phase of the popular condominium community includes all of the beautiful finishes from the first and second phases, as well as some new floorplans and amazing amenities. “This is a great opportunity for buyers,” says Jeanette Chaput, director of sales and marketing for Porte. “We’ve had a lot of firsttime buyers interested in Verve. It’s a great value and our price point is fantastic.” The homes at The Maxx range from 540 to 1,300 square feet, in a variety of junior one-bedroom, one-, two- and three-bedroom plans. The nine-foot ceilings (11 feet on the top floor) lend an incredible sense of space to your home, accented by large windows and laminate flooring throughout the main living areas. “Having ceilings this high is a great feature,” says Chaput. The kitchens feature full-size stainlesssteel appliances, polished quartz countertops
and under-cabinet valence lighting. The high-gloss upper cabinetry is complemented by warm wood lowers, and each floorplan includes some unique features such as wine racks, pantries or built-in work stations. “Our kitchens are great,” Chaput says. “People really appreciate the little details like the full-size appliances and our signature wine racks.” Spa-like ensuite bathrooms feature customdesigned vanities with polished quartz countertops, undermount sinks and vanity drawers, complemented by porcelain tile floors. The square-profile deep soaker tub is lit by recessed lighting. Most two-bedroom homes include oversized shower stalls with semi-frameless glass doors. Outside, each building at Verve (Verve, Social @ Verve and The Maxx @ Verve) has its own colour palette that complements the others. A paved stone driveway leads onto the tree-lined interior streets between the buildings, and a pedestrian walkway makes its way to trails and parks. Each home comes with a spacious garden patio or balcony, and there is plenty of space for parking. In fact, all homes come with a parking stall and most two-bedroom homes come with a tandem stall for two cars. On-site amenities for residents include a furnished guest suite, gym, yoga studio, fireside lounge with flatscreen TV, games rooms and outdoor seating. The neighbourhood has been particularly popular with buyers. “Our location is the best,” Chaput says. “We’re just a six-minute walk from King
George SkyTrain station and 13 minutes to Central City mall.” Surrey City Centre is one of the fastestgrowing areas in the Lower Mainland, so homeowners at Verve are also very close to dining, leisure and recreation opportunities as well as the Surrey campus of Simon Fraser University, the new Surrey City Hall and the City Centre library. Elementary and secondary schools are also in the area. “We’ve had several buyers who work at Surrey Memorial Hospital or the RCMP headquarters,” says Chaput. “They can walk
to work!” Porte is once again offering their popular flexible deposit program at The Maxx. “It gives buyers the chance to build their downpayment as we build their home,” Chaput says. “It can be a challenge for firsttime buyers, and this will help.” Homes at The Maxx @ Verve start at $169,900. For more information, visit www. porte.ca/verve, call 604-588-3783 or stop by the presentation centre at 13931 Fraser Highway, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

Leavitt up for national award Triple O’s aiming to raise The president and CEO of a major Langley company has been named a finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year. Thomas Leavitt, of Leavitt Machinery, was announced as the winner for the Pacific Region, and will now be up for the national entrepreneur of the year as well. The winner will be announced at a gala next month (Nov. 25). He is up against regional winners from the Prairies, Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic regions for title of Canada’s Entrepreneur of the Year. “Thomas is a true innovator,� said Lui Petrollini, the Entrepreneur of the Year Pacific program director. “He turned a good idea into a successful business that thrives on innovative thinking. “From businesses processes to
new technologies, Thomas’ desire for continuous improvement is what sets him apart.� The dedication to continuous improvement also extends to the community, as the Langley City man and his wife established Harvest for Humanity in 2010. The charity supports children and education in Haiti and the Philippines. Through the organization, Leavitt Machinery has helped create several self-sustaining, income-generating and educational projects in developing or economically struggling areas. Leavitt founded his company in 2001 after recognizing the need for a multifaceted equipment provision and services company in the market. In just over a decade, he has grown Leavitt Machinery into one of the leading material han-

Triple O’s locations across the province — including four in Langley — are teaming up with KidSport. Triple O’s will donate $1 from every combo sold tomorrow (Friday) to KidSport, a community-based funding program that helps children who may not otherwise be able to afford to play organized sports, off the sidelines and into the game. Since the partnership began in 2009, Triple O’s has raised $93,000. This year’s goal has been set at $30,000. The funds raised will go to the nearest KidSport community chapter. “Triple O’s is passionate about supporting the communities where we live, work and play,� said White Spot and Triple O’s president Warren Erhart.
“Helping kids in need is a team effort (and) that is why we’re deepening our commitment to KidSport for this win-win campaign.� KidSport has provided financial assistance to half a million kids since its inception in 1993. “Our partnership with Triple O’s reflects the value that both our organizations place on the importance of family and community,� said Pete Quevillon, director of KidSport BC. “Triple O’s is a great place for a post-game meal, and with locations around the province this campaign allows many of our community-based chapters to generate awareness and keep the funds raised in the community. We are truly fortunate to have such a great provincial partner and are happy to have Triple O’s as part of the KidSport family.�

Brace yourselves - the cold & flu season is coming! Zinc is an important player in immune function - even a slight deficiency can weaken the immune system. People at risk of zinc inadequacy include vegetarians, pregnant women, and those with gastrointestinal diseases, including chronic diarrhea. The body does not store excess zinc, so daily supplementation is a good idea for everyone. Other conditions which have been treated with zinc supplementation include wound healing, acne, and sense of taste and smell.

Rams’ Roper named top defender
G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Spo r ts
Individual accolades are always nice, but for Dylan Roper the fact that he was on a winning team was the biggest thing this football season. Roper, a stud defensive end for the Langley Rams, is in his eighth season of organized football, but team success has been hard to come by. “I have never had a winning season in football,” admitted Roper. “The biggest thing was to win, which was more important than having personal accolades.” Roper and the Rams are one game away from winning the Cullen Cup, the B.C. Football Conference’s top prize. The Rams (7-3) travel to Kelowna on Sunday to face the Okanagan Sun (9-1) in the championship final, with the winner hosting the Canadian Junior Football League championship on Nov. 8. The teams have played three times and while Langley won the first battle, Okanagan has taken the past two. And along the way to the championship game, Roper has indeed earned some personal accolades as on Tuesday morning, he was named the BCFC’s top defensive lineman as well as the top defensive player. Roper led the league with 10 quarterback sacks, had 11 tackles, seven assists, one knockdown and two forced fumbles during the 10-game regular season. He added two more sacks, one tackle, one assist and a forced fumble in the Rams 48-46 semifinal victory over the Kamloops Broncos on Saturday afternoon at McLeod Athletic Park (see below). He only began playing the sport in Grade 10 at Carson Graham Secondary in North Vancouver. Up until that point, Roper — who is now six-foot-one and 235 pounds — had concentrated on hockey. This despite the fact his father
Rams withstand Broncos rally
GARY A HUJ A Langley Time s
Langley Rams’ Dylan Roper jars the ball loose on a blindside hit of Kamloops Broncos quarterback Steve Schuweiler during the Rams’ 48-46 semifinal victory on Saturday at McLeod Athletic Park. Roper was named both the top defensive lineman and top defensive player by the B.C. Football Conference. Russell played at the NCAA Division 1 level with Iowa, and his uncle Gerald Roper played in the CFL with both the B.C. Lions and Ottawa Rough Riders during an 11-year career. “They never pushed me into football, never asked me to play,” Roper said. And once he started, schools began taking notice and Roper earned a scholarship to play for the SFU Clan.

The Langley Rams withstood a furious fourth-quarter rally attempt, holding off the Kamloops Broncos 48-46. The victory advances Langley to the Cullen Cup, the B.C. Junior Football Conference
“The biggest thing I learned was to take it one play at a time,” Roper said about his time with the Clan. “And mistakes are going to happen, you just can’t get down on yourself, you have to stay positive.” His play with the Clan also garnered Roper CFL attention and the B.C. Lions selected him in the sixth round (50th overall) of the 2014 draft. He attended training camp with

the Lions but failed to stick. And with one year of eligibility, Roper thought it would be best to keep playing while he works on completing his education degree. With teams expressing interest in the defensive lineman, Roper opted to stay closer to home, especially because he saw such potential with the Rams. “He came into our program (and) he could have had an ego, could have had a swagger about him,
ters, had stretched the lead to 45-24. But the fourth was all Broncos as they out-scored the Rams 22-3. But Langley was able to kill the final 1:38 on the clock after Kamloops pulled to within two points. “We got a little complacent
but he really came in and put his head down and worked his butt off,” said Langley head coach and general manager Jeff Alamolhoda. “He is a phenomenal athlete, but an even better leader and player.” The coach added that the younger players on the roster have taken notice of Roper’s work ethic. “His work ethic is very consistent and he never takes a break,” Alamolhoda said. The success has been a product of hard work. “I have learned my instincts and what I am good at so coming into this year, I knew what my strengths were and tried to use them,” Roper said. He has had to deal with cut blocks and double and triple teams all season. “Every team had their different wrinkle (on how they were going to play me),” he said. “It made it fun every week, not knowing what I was going to get into.” With the opposition focusing attention on Roper attacking from the outside, that has opened up chances for his teammates to break through and harass the quarterback. And with his junior football set to wind down, that does not mean Roper is done with the game. He has been in contact with CFL clubs throughout the season and is hoping to earn at least a tryout, and hopefully a roster spot for 2015. Roper also has a British passport and could explore playing professionally in Europe as well. ••• In addition to Roper’s award, Langley Rams linebacker Ethan Schulz was also named the BCFC rookie of the year. Schulz finished the regular season with 23 tackles, 14 assists, four sacks, once forced fumble, four fumble recoveries, one interception and one touchdown.
maybe,” said Langley coach Jeff Alamolhoda. “And Kamloops fought for the entire game and brought it right down to the wire.” The Rams rushed for 268 yards in the playoff victory, led by Nathan Lund (152 yards) and Jordan Traversy (63 yards)
with Lund, Jacob Patko and quarterback Jordan McCarty all rushing for one score. McCarty also went 8-for-16 for 232 yards and three touchdowns, with Patko, Daniel English and Malcolm Williams hauling in one apiece. Continued Page 38

Steve Thomas also kicked two field goals and all six converts. And that was just enough offence as the Broncos desperately tried to throw their way back into the game. Kamloops quarterback Steve Schuweiler went 28for-45 for 543 yards and three scores. He also scored a pair of short-yardage touchdowns himself. Receivers Derek Yachison (eight catches, 178 yards, two touchdowns) and Devin Csincsa (10 catches, 144 yards, one touchdown) did the bulk of the damage. Langley’s defence did manage four turnovers: an interception from John Beckerleg, fumble recoveries by Tore Corrado and Brock Gowanlock and a turnover on downs. Ryan MacDonald forced the first of those fumble recoveries on special teams while Dylan Roper generated the other on one of his two quarterback sacks. Gowanlock also had two sacks while Alex Agnoletto had another. The win sets up a showdown with the Okanagan Sun on Sunday afternoon at Kelowna’s Apple Bowl with a berth in the national championship game at stake.

Langley Rams running back Nathan Lund grabs a fistful of face mask to keep Kamloops Broncos Kyle Richardson at bay. Lund rushed for 185 yards and a touchdown as the Rams won 48-46. The Sun dismantled the Vancouver Island Raiders 4716 in the other semifinal. The Rams and Sun have met
three times this season, with Okanagan winning twice. The home team has won all three times.
Alamolhoda said the semifinal scare against the Broncos can serve as a learning experience for his team. “We took away from that game that in the playoffs, every moment, every inch counts,” he said. “And there is no possible way we can let our guard down a moment. “We also learned that our team has a fight in them and they are willing to fight back and fight hard to the very end and ensure that they get the win. And our guys did ensure that we got the win.” The Broncos finished with 653 yards of net offence, including 362 in the second half. By comparison, Langley had 496 yards of offence, but just 158 in the second half. While the second half should serve as a good reminder for the Rams as they focus in practice this week, there were drawbacks as well. “Because it was such a big fight, we lost a couple of key bodies and that is going to hurt us moving forward,” Alamolhoda said. “But in the end, the need to fight through this game is definitely going to give us some experience and some valuable lessons moving forward for the next game that we can learn from and that we can build off.”

Hawks offence soars with 18 goals RIC K KU P C HU K Bl ack Pre s s
The Valley West Hawks have extended their win streak to six games, sweeping the Kootenay Ice in a pair of BC Hockey Major Midget League games in Nelson last weekend. The Hawks blanked the Ice 7-0 Saturday, then won a wild 11-7 contest Sunday morning to push their record to 6-2-0, tied for third place in the 11-team league with the Okanagan Rockets. The Hawks used the power play to surge past Kootenay Saturday, scoring four times with the man advantage. South Surrey’s Trevor Ayre paced the Hawks with two goals and an assist. Defenceman Matt Barberis of White Rock also had a threepoint game, scoring once and adding a pair of assists. Other goal scorers were Luke Gingras and Wyatt Hicks of Langley, and Semiahmoo Minor Hockey’s Jeffrey Stewart and Shakeel Ebrahim of Surrey. Jakob Walter of Langley earned the shutout.
online langleytimes.com
Sunday was an unusual game, with 18 goals scored. “One of the toughest things in our league is to beat a team Saturday and wake up just as hungry to do it again on Sunday,” said Hawks head coach Jesse Leung. “We started off well with two quick goals but I think we took our foot off the pedal. Credit to Kootenay who never quit and made us pay for our complacent play.” Down 2-0 after just six minutes of play, the Ice clawed their way back into the game over the next 35 minutes. The game was tied 6-6 early in the third period when the Hawks scored four times in four minutes to break the game open. Three players finished with five points for Valley West. Ayre scored once and added four assists, with Barberis and Gingras assisting on five goals each. Stewart and Langley’s James Malm notched three goals and an assist each. Other goal scorers were South Surrey’s Ian Ross and Logan Webber, Christian Bosa of Langley and Cloverdale’s Daniel Chifan.

Eagles crush competition, capture gold medal at Vancouver tourney Opponents of the Langley Eagles are probably giving thanks they do not have to face the peewee A4 hockey team anymore. That is because the Langley rep hockey team annihilated the competition over the Thanksgiving weekend, cruising to top spot at a tournament hosted by the Vancouver Thunderbirds Minor Hockey Association at UBC. The Eagles went a perfect 5-0, out-scoring the competition 22-2 to take home the gold medal.
The goaltending duo of Thomas Sproule (two shutouts) and Justin Card (one shutout) combined with a strong team defensive philosophy to not allow a single goal over the final three games. “The boys struck to a team strategy, showing tremendous respect for the game and they remained disciplined throughout the tournament,” said Langley head coach Bryan Barratt. The Eagles shut out Semiahmoo 2-0 in the championship game with Sproule posting his
second goose egg of the tourney, as well as player of the game honours. Langley won their round robin games 6-1 over Kamloops, 6-1 over Vancouver and 6-2 over North Vancouver. They then beat Ridge Meadows 2-0 in the semifinals. “The team was short a player all weekend, but they stepped up and filled roles admirably,” Barratt said. “Our boys will continue to strive to be the hardest working team and they look forward to the exciting season ahead.”

Road trip yields two losses, key injury for Rivermen The Langley Rivermen lost more than just a pair of hockey games over the weekend. The junior A hockey club lost 3-2 in overtime to the Trail Smoke Eaters and then 5-2 the next afternoon in Salmon Arm against the Silverbacks. But they also lost defenceman Jake Zeleznikar, who was hit awkwardly into the boards in Trail, breaking his femur. Zeleznikar, who scored the overtime winner last week (Oct. 15) in a 4-3 victory over the Surrey Eagles, led all Rivermen defencemen with two goals and seven points in nine games.
Against Trail, Langley out-shot the Smoke Eaters 38-27, but lost in the extra period on an unfortunate bounce. “It’s been the theme of the year so far and it’s pretty upsetting,” said forward Evan Anderson. “Coming into these away barns and losing by one or two goals, it’s pretty disappointing and we’re not happy with it.” Langley went 1-for-5 on the power play while Salmon Arm was 3-for-7 after Phil Middleton and Andrew Farny added power-play goals late in the
third. “We beat ourselves in both games,” said Langley assistant coach Kurt Astle. “It was an unfortunate result in Trail, due to not capitalizing on our opportunities. We outworked them and had our chances, but when it came down to it, we didn’t execute.” Langley plays their next two games at home as they host the Coquitlam Express on Oct. 25 (7 p.m.) and the Alberni Valley Bulldogs the following afternoon (2 p.m.).

Energy efficiency. Good for smaller footprints. And making your home more comfortable.
The UBC Thunderbirds are all that stand in the way of the Trinity Western Spartans hosting the Canada West final four women’s soccer championships. The two-long time rivals will play on Friday night at TWU’s Rogers Field in the conference quarter-finals. The Spartans are the top seed after a regular season which saw them go 10-1-1. UBC was fourth in the division at 6-4-2, which includes a 1-0 win over Trinity Western on Sunday afternoon in Vancouver. The Spartans, who had already clinched top spot after a 4-2 home win on Friday night over the Fraser Valley (UFV) Cascades, rested several starters against UBC. Against UFV, Jessica King scored twice while Seina Kashima and Krista Gommeringer had the other. For the Cascades, former Walnut Grove standout Shelby Beck had both goals.

Field assignment challenges leads to change DA N FERGU SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r
At the request of Fraser Valley FC, all of the new clubs’ players have been reassigned to Langley FC by the British Columbia Soccer Association (BCSA). An Oct. 17 letter from BCSA executive director Paul Mullen to Langley Township parks and recreation director David Leavers said because of “ …challenges experienced by their [Fraser Valley FC] teams with regard to field assignments …” the BCSA board of directors had reassigned the franchise to Langley FC. The letter did not give further details. The decision to transfer the 173 players was endorsed by the BC Soccer Premier League board of governors.
“Therefore we can confirm that all players on teams previously assigned to Fraser Valley FC have been transferred to Langley FC in line with appropriate BC Soccer rules and regulations and that the reassignment and transfer of the Fraser Valley FC franchise to Langley FC has been completed,” the Mullen letter said. A press release issued by the BCSA the same day said Fraser Valley FC had experienced “significant challenges in accessing field assignments” and had asked the BCSA board for help. The Fraser Valley FC franchise had its official launch in late fall 2013. At the time, BC Soccer said the franchise, supported by Chilliwack FC, Langley FC, Aldergrove FC, and Abbotsford Magnuson SC, was in-

tended “to develop an even stronger, more collaborative and representative group and to provide a more sustainable high performance pathway and playing opportunities for boys and girls in the Fraser Valley.” The Friday press release announcing the transfer of the franchise to Langley FC said the four teams involved in Fraser Valley FC would continue to be partner clubs and support the restructured franchise. On Monday (Oct. 20), Langley FC Soccer Club president Rob Jandric told Township council the decision means “there is no more Fraser Valley FC.” Jandric said the decision to transfer the franchise to Langley FC will contribute to the growth of the former all-girls soccer club, which began fielding boys’ teams in 2011, the
same year the all-boys Langley United began admitting girls. Langley FC has grown from 800 players then to more than 1,300 now, Jandric said. Out of those numbers, Jandric said 360 are boys and 664 are girls. There are also about 300 players in Langley FC’s men’s and women’s programs. Jandric said that too many of the top-level youth players have left for bigger associations, but with Langley FC now having teams in the B.C. Premier Soccer League, this should no longer be a problem, and perhaps some of those players may return. The reassignment of the Fraser Valley players to Langley FC will be until the end of the 2015 season, the same period assigned to the new franchise. — with files from Gary Ahuja

Stamps stomp Giants 44-12 An early hole was not too much for the Langley Stampeders, who improved to 7-0 with a 44-12 victory. The Stampeders were facing the Chilliwack Giants on Friday night at Townsend Park in midget football action and the victory gives them a share of top spot with the North Surrey Bears, Langley’s opponent this Sun-
day at McLeod Athletic Park. Chilliwack was up 6-0 but the Stamps shook off their slow start to take control, getting a Nolan McMurchy field goal to get on the board, and then majors from Joe Carter (one yard), and quarterback Stephen Legare connecting with Nathan Murray from 37 yards out to lead at the half.
Devin Dacosta got the only touchdown of the third quarter with a two-yard run. And Dacosta and the running game took over the in fourth as he scored on runs of 58, 16 and seven yards.

Connor Griffiths and Nathan Lonn shut down the inside running lanes while linebackers David Fredo, Wonjae Boo and Isaiah Okoli cleaned up the rest. And if any Chilliwack ball carrier was to elude them, Kyle Clarot and Tomas Sandberg were there to keep the gains to a minimum. Legare had a solid game throwing the ball, connecting on big plays to McMurchy (51 yards), Murray (48 yards) and Jayden Korfman (49 yards).

I followed closely like an eager salesman, telling him about the car’s finer standard features, its fuel economy (8.7/5.4 L/100kms city/highway), its ability to hit 100 klicks in 7.5 seconds. Maybe that last fact was a bit insensitive, given the nature of the beast before me. He remained silent throughout. ‘What is a donkey doing among all of these horses,’ I thought aloud. He turned, gave me a withering look before shambling away and replied: “Technically, they are ponies – short horses – and having a short ass like me around makes them feel superior.” Smart ass.

Toyota helped develop the “cute-ute” vehicles from Japan, along with the Honda CR-V. We had never seen anything like these vehicles before but they went on to forever change the marketplace and the way a family gets around. Today the compact SUV market has become so popular it will soon exceed the compact car in terms of overall sales, which has been, for decades, the cornerstone of the Canadian marketplace. The Toyota RAV4 continues to be a sales
model. To get proper looking alloy wheels the buyer needs to spend $28,340 for the XLE FWD or $30,540 for the XLE AWD. In the mid-sized sedan market many cars, like the Honda Accord, costing the same amount as the base RAV4 come with nice looking alloy wheels as standard equipment.

Inside The interior is a study in how to maximize space for a family but some of the small details could use refinement. The dash face is now covered with soft materials and looks much better thanks to the French

The seat-heating buttons, the Eco and Sport settings for the transmission are all switches the driver access frequently but they are not as easy to see, as they should be. Other than the dash there is still a large percentage of the interior covered in hard plastic. The up side is a well laid out interior configuration. The doors open to a wide angle and expose a big back seat with a flat floor, for easy access. The front seats are comfortable and now the driver’s seat has a manual height adjustment.

too vague. Adjustable engine and transmission settings help the RAV4 to either use less fuel or perform better. The Eco button changes the settings of the car to improve fuel economy plus there is a small Eco light that reminds the driver when the car is being driven most efficiently. The Sport buttons holds the transmission a little longer between shifts for more responsiveness. Fuel economy is rated at 10.5L/100km in the city and 8.2L on the highway, using the new more stringent 2015 fuel economy test. The RAV4 was a solid leader on the fuel economy front but the new Honda CR-V now claims that crown.

Toyota RAV4 was a pioneer in the small SUV space and continues to be a market leader but now the market is so crowded with entries I suspect it will need to get new engine technology when it is totally refreshed in a few years.

When a Volkswagen dealership makes it into the prestigious Wolfsburg Crest Club, it’s because they’ve met the highest Volkswagen standards in service and sales. Those of you who have driven one of our vehicles know what kind of standards we’re talking about.
(Q=) Hi Walt. Big fan. I found the perfect car online for a great price. It might be too good to be true. Should I go to a licensed dealer instead? Yours truly, Second Thoughts
Such an accomplishment doesn’t just happen by chance. Every day, the team at Gold Key Langley Volkswagen makes every effort to provide nothing but the best for their customers.

Toyota is often criticized for not being bold enough in some of the choices it makes. Honda now has upto-date technology in the new CR-V but Toyota is sticking with what works. This approach might be viewed as a step behind but others might look at it as tried-and-true technology that is reliable and still delivers solid fuel

She passed away in Armstrong B.C. on Sunday, October 12th, surrounded by her family. Nella lived in Arnhem, Holland, London, England and Toronto where she met John Gunner. The couple married in Toronto and settled in Langley, B.C. She lived in Langley and on Cortes Island until her health suffered and she made the decision to move to Armstrong to be closer to her family. All through her final years her trademark behaviour remained firmly in place. Nothing fazed her and despite all disasters, Nella was impossibly cheerful and good natured. She will be missed by her sons: Nicholas (Bev Hamilton) and Stephen (Andrea); and her grandchildren: John, Kayla and Zetteh and Jack Lothian, all of Armstrong. She leaves behind one step-sister, Ingeborg and numerous nieces and nephews in Holland. She was predeceased by her sister, Tie; step-sister, Hans; step-brother; Jan and nephew, Tom.
